In this hour of Cashing Out, Greg Peterson recaps a thrilling day of College Basketball. Philadelphia Eagles beat reporter Chris Franklin joins the show to preview Sunday's NFC Championship game between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. And later, Greg recaps the latest moves around the NFL coaching carousel.

This is cashing out on vs END, the Sports betting Network.

This is cashing out right here on VSA, these Sports banking Network. We've got four hours of power coming up, as my goodness, we've got a lot to take a look at, as it has been a wild college basketball Saturday, to say the least. If you thought your team that you've been on was leading, hopefully it didn't look away from the TV for very long because they were then probably trailing. And if you were betting on a team that was trailing, well they probably took the lead if you looked away for about five minutes. Because man, we have seen all sorts of blowing leads. We've seen all sorts of calamities. We just saw double overtime out there at fog Allen Field else as well, So we're going to be diving in on that. We've got two massive games in the NFL coming up for Sunday, and we're going to be talking about that with a whole bunch of great guests, as we've got a locked in load of guest lists. Our producer Johnny did a tremendous job of setting me up for success tonight. It's going to be getting started in about fifteen minutes. Franklin, he does a great job on the Philadelphia Eagles beat over at NJ dot Com.

He's gonna be joining me.

We're gonna be taking a look at the NFC side of things in terms of this title game. In our number two, we're gonna go a little bit more for the AFC side of things. Christian Okoye, which many of you guys remember him as the great running back for the Kanca Chiefs. I still remember him because everyone always wanted to play as Bo Jackson on Techmobile. Christian Okoye was that number two guy, like he's always that forgotten guy in Techmobile, but he was an absolute animal on that video game as well. So we're gonna be talking about him about what we're gonna be seeing in this AFC title game, and then we'll head back to the NFC side of things, and I talk a little college basketball as well with Lance Meadow as he does a great job as he does play by playwork for the New York Giants but also does the Columbia Lions college basketball action as well. As we've always got some good IVY League college basketball action happening out there as well. Our number three, we're gonna be talking with Robert Turbin, former running back of the Denver Broncos, along the Seattle Seahawks, and Aaron More who he always gives us more. He does a tremendous job as one of our contributors here at v SIN. He's got a few props that he's taking to look at for the NFC and AFC title games. On top of that, does a great job taking a look at college basketball futures. And Tanner Kerne does great workover at DraftKings. He's going to be joining me in a few hours as well. So we have got a lot that is going to be going down, and we've got ourselves a lot that is happening as well. If you've got any questions comments for the show, tweet those in at VSI N Live at g Unit underscore eighty one on the old Twitter slash XN. We are indeed back on Sirius XM channel one fifty eight to twenty four to seven three sixty five and on leap years for enter in sixty six a's the year. So we've got a lot that's happening there. And how about the first things first, we do take a look at what's happened over the last few hours here in college basketball, because we're certainly going to be diving in on a whole bunch of football. But my goodness, gracious, we have seen ourselves a lot of action here thus far as if you miss it, it was double overtime out there in the fog. Houston they do get the job done. They do get the win, and this was a game that it looked like it was going to be going down in regulation. I personally had the unders, so that means that my undergot toasted by I'm trying to do the mental math, you're about sixty points, so we're just gonna round it up there. But that's aid Houston ninety two to eighty six winners. As this was a nip and tuck game throughout for Houston, they were just a little bit more physical. They win the offensive rebound battle twelve offensive rebounds to eleven for Kansas, and I think Kansas they hurt themselves in this game, seventeen of thirty at the free throw line. This is oftentimes what you see, and this is a big reason why whenever you're handicapping college basketball, you always need to be taking a look at free throw shooting in I do think that it's different in every sort of scenario, Like this was more of a pick um game, which you might have found Houston at one point on one point favorite. I believe they open up a one point favorite a lot of places they close as more like a one point underdog. So I mean very much a very tight line right there, and I do think that it varies a little bit from time to time. I'm a little bit more willing to back I had free throw shooting teams when they're like a seven eight point underdog, because they're getting followed with the minute of remaining, you know what, they're probably in the lead, and even if they lose that game, you're probably gonna be able to cover the plus seven plus eight what have you. If you're laying the seven to eight that it's always something that you have to have your trepidations with, to say the least. And a little bit of sidebar on this as well. Kansas is was their nineteenth game of the season, just the third game that won over the total, so they have been an undermachine for you thus far this season, but it got overwhelmed in this game by Houston. So that was an absolutely amazing one and I've been talking about it, the blown leads that we've been seeing in.

College basketball today.

It happened early on that Texas A and M versus Texas game. Texas A and M twenty two point lead on the road against Texas and mak itat hold on seventy to sixty nine was the final in this one. And this was very much interesting from me against the spread standpoint as well, because for much of the day I was seeing Texas as a very very slight favorite. They were laying in a lot of places about a wa on one and a half or so. So this one came down to the bitter end on it. But for Texas A and M came out there, we're unable to get the job done. That was a very interesting one as well, and we've got ourselves a lot of action that's still happening right now. Is right now, you've got yourself a game between Yukon and Xavier, with Xavier currently leading that game by kind of seventy one to sixty three. That's got about three minutes in change remaining, and with regards to the Yukon team, been a very interesting sort of season for them. They lose those three games out there in Maui, but looked like they were on a little bit of a rebound. Now they're inting a little bit of a lull, and that's been much of what we've been seeing this year in college basketball. It's a lot of touch and go. These seems they're sort of like the old Katie Perry song. They're hot in their cold, they're yes and they're no, and they're in there out and they're up and there down.

So it's been.

Fun to be able to take a look at, to say least a little bit frustrating to be able to get engauge on some of these teams. And then you look up and you see all burn the number one team in all of college basketball in terms of points scored on a per possession basis, and then they're in a twenty two to twenty slog at the half against Tennis. So, I mean, you've got a lot of frivolous sort of basketball that's happening right now. And that's what you get with these one hundred and fifty game college basketball Saturdays, especially one forty nine for the Saturday, but still locked in loaded with action right here on cashing out on Visa the Sportsbank Network, as you've got ourselves a lot to be able to dive in on there, and we've got a lot with regards to some of these teams that are going to be looking to be able to get some covers a little bit later on this one, just one final with Gonzaga team then I'm still sort of in on a little bit. We do see these seeds that they hit a little bit of a funk in January. You want to be taking a look of coaching this time of year, and they needed to make a little bit of a statement after they lose back to back WCC games, which you don't find that very often from Gonzaga one O four to sixty two winners over Portland. They were lying about twenty five. They cover that game very very easily. So that's something that's like just to see if you're a little bit of a gonzagabacker. And I think that it's going to be interesting to just gauge which teams are going to be most successful in March this season, because it does feel like much like I'm always a believe that every single game is its own, living, breathing entity. You sort of have that with every single year in the NCAA Tournament as well. Oftentimes the defense gets rewarded. There are some years like when Miami made their Final four run offense was certainly rewarded that season as well. And there's just a lot of different, shall we say, ways to be able to go about it this season as well. And I do think that matchups are really going to be making fights. Even though I do believe that Auburn and Duke are your top two teams in college basketball is right now, there's a case to be made for a lot of these teams, Like with Houston, with what they were able to do today, that is a big giant statement right there. In Hey, Duke a team that I do still feel like is one of those better teams at all of college basketball. They got a little bit of scare against Wake for us, they were unable to cover that number. Now, they did get the lright wins, so they do not get upset in that game, but certainly they got a little bit more than what they were bargaining for out there. So that's the team that you do want to be paying attention to. And silently, we've had a few teams be able rise up in the ACC as well as been a.

Brutal year to say the least for the ACC.

You had a lot of teams have under delivered, like Miami, who's actually, as I'm doing this, leading against California, which I say, might finally be able to get a win. It's been rough for them. They are right now zero to eight in the ACC and they split with their games against the Big celth this year. When you're one and one against the big soeuth and you're in the ACC, he or know that your season is probably not going well for you. Not even the good teams out there in the big South, like your long Woods and your high points of the world. They have been certainly a low point to say the least. But I'm with the ACC. Certainly a lot of teams of intrigue out there, But obviously the big boys are the SEC, which many people are thinking that conference is going to get eleven plus bids into the NCAA tournament. You know that it's going to be a fight every single time things go down. And how much do you value how much a team played in terms of air non conference schedule, And by that I mean Alabama's right now getting a pretty big test from LSU as we're doing this sixty three to fifty eight with about nine minutes in change remaining right now, going down in that game. But I mean, it is an Alabama team that you're in in eure out. They always do challenge themselves. Do you think that that's very valuable to be taking a look at when it comes to March as well? Like, I don't think that's a coincidence that we have seen Michigan State just time and time again making those big runs in March when they do schedule very difficultly. They always don't back away from a challenge. And these teams that maybe they line up Team number two, seventy five and Ken Palm and what have you, they line up a lot of those games they do end up fading into the abyss. And you see that a lot this year as well, like with regards to some of these teams that started off hot and there were the ones that tailed off, Like I'm looking at you, Oklahoma's right now in a massive dog fight against Arkansas. That's one of those teams that they played against them, shall we say lesser competition and even the games that they did play in terms of step up games like the four point play that they need to be able to get over the top against Michigan. You can look at that and say, man, that was a little bit fluky that game against Providence. I still will never forget that the first time I think I ever lost a bet because there were six men out there on the court for that technical foul. That's still one that sticks with me. But that's a very interesting one. But you also have a team like Vanderbilt, what do we make out of this bunchho They didn't necessarily play the world's greatest sound conference schedule. They've been a little bit up and down at SEC play, but they do get the job done seventy four to sixty nine against Kentucky on Saturday, a Kentucky team that I've just gathered this as well, and this is always something that you want to start. This is something that you do want to put a little bit of a bookmarker trough as well. These scenes that maybe they're just not the same on the road rather than at home. I've been really gauging that with regards to this Kentucky offense. For Kentucky, they were able shoot nine to twenty three from three part range in this game, which's not bad. You'll take thirty nine percent three point shooting, but seventeen turnovers. Vanderbilt had just five in this game as well. And this Kentucky team, it does really feel like this has been a completely different team when they've been away from home. They're a team that I'm certainly having my eyes on with regards to can they get things going on the road, And I do think that that is going to be so critical because when it comes to the NCAA.

Tournament, there are no home games.

Granted, you might be able to get a little bit more of a favorable travel spot, what have you. But that said, I do think that those are the sorts of things that you want to be diving in on, and we're going to be taking a look at so much of that here throughout the next four hours.

But that said, we also have the task.

Of looking at what is going to be an absolutely tremendous Sunday in all of sports, because we've got ourselves the AFC title Game, the NFC title Game. These are three teams that we expected to be here, one team that was a little bit of a surprise in the Washington Commanders. So we've got a whole big bundle of fun there. The guests, they get started on the flip side as we're going to be talking about the NFC Title Game with Chris Frankly. He does a great job on the Philadelphia Eagles feed over at NJ dot com, and he is going to be joining me on the flip side right here on cashing Out on Vson the Sports Banding Number.

Welcome back to catching out here on vs in the sports Maning Network.

We're back here on cashing out on Visent the Sportsbank Network. Will be joining momentarily by Chris Franklin, who does a great job on the Philadelphia Eagles beat over at NJ dot com. We've got a lot to talk about with regards to this prime matchup which coming into the season, if you said the Philadelphia Eagles would make it to the NFC Title Game, don't think that there would have been a lot of surprise people Like if you said that at any any point this season, I don't think that a lot of people would be like, oh no, what a shocking take or anything like that. Fact that we've got Commanders versus Eagles, this is just so much fun and it is going to be a whale of a game, to say the least. Says right now, you've got to Washington Commanders seem that if you're the Commanders right now, you're obviously playing with all this money. But I do think that there should be some expectations that, hey, this could be the future, and how about if we make that savement right now. Last time you suit teams played, they were able to get the job done. That was that thirty six to thirty three game. It was an absolute slobber knocker. Now that was the game where Kenny Pickett played much of the game, So there's a little bit of an ass risk on that one end the Eagles, so we're able to give a relatively spirited effort in that game. But still with this Washington Commanders team, the way that everything has been able to come together for them is so intriguing. In for the Philadelphi Eagles, you have to feel like it might be a little bit of a now or never for them, because with the Philadelphi Eagles, now they're going to be staring down the gun barrel. You're in a year out of having to go against Jade Daniels, who right now is turning out to be one of the better draft picks that we've seen in quite some time. You don't want to be annoying guy after one year, but I mean, this guy seems to have absolutely no let up whatsoever, and with this being his rookie year, you have to figure that he's only going to be getting better. I have seen regression in the past, but I don't think that that is going to be the case in this one. Right now, I've got the Commanders for this game as a plus six underdog, and I do think that's so interesting to take a look at this Pride because again they did win the Commanders in for the last time these two teams played, but obviously with a clear shall we say, a little bit of an astress there, and if you take a look at the first time these two teams played, which feels like ancient history at this point, that was all the way towards the middle part of the season. That was the twenty six to eighteen win. Sakwan Barkley was very much in the in the shall we say a play plays of the Philadelphia Eagles. There he had multiple touchdowns one hundred and forty five plus yards, and I do think that that's where the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be going once again. Obviously, when it comes to the month of January, you just have less of weather, when you have the cold and you have all that going on. I do think that that just prioritizes a rung game a little bit more. And that's a big reason why I do think that out of all the players for the Commanders, obviously Jane Daniels, he's your number one X factor. There's all fans are about about it. Jade and Daniels. It all starts and it finishes with them. But how about Brian Robinson. I think that he's going to be a big key in this game for the Washington Commanders. They don't need him to be as good as Sakwan Barkley, but they do need him to step up a little bit more because there still needs to be some question marks as so whether or not we've got a fully healthy Jalen Hurts. We saw it in that first game against the Green Bay Packers. We saw it last week as well with Jalen Hurds. Did he play bad football? I won't say that he was like awful or anything like that. He just looked a little bit off. He looked a little bit rusty. Now, the one thing that he's not done is turned the ball over, and that's one of the most important things to do. Sometimes it's not the quarterback that wins it. Sometimes it's the quarterback that doesn't lose it. And I think that that's going to be a big key in this game as well. And this is where I experience it does come into play a little bit love it, hate it, feeling differently about it. A guy in Nick Sirianni who's been the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, He's been there and done that. And you do have a sideline of the Washington Commanders where Jaydon Daniels. This is going to be his first time in the spot, but obviously he's played in some big games with regards to college. Obviously, the coaching staff of the Washington Commanders they've been able to work their way back up as well.

As You've gotten.

A man that knows all too well about being in the Super Bowl in the past on the sideline of the Washington Commanders as well. So I think that that's way too intriguing to take a look at.

It as well.

But when I take a look at this game in terms of some of the props that we've got for this one, I think that whichever quarterback throws the interception obviously is going to put his team at a little bit of a disadvantage. But right now, for Jade and Daniels to throw one plus interception that's at minus one twenty six, I just don't think he's going to throw an interception.

In this game.

Like I just think that with Jayden Daniels, typically we do see these rookie quarterbacks sort of fade into the abyss, see the moment becomes a little bit too big for them. Jayden Daniels just doesn't come off as that guy for me, Like we saw last week against the Detroit Lions, the way that he was able to step up, the way that he was able to make all the plays, the way they look so calm and cool. Because with the Detroit Lions, while the defense was well not great to say the least, they were obviously completely banged up. I mean, that was a Lions team that they kept coming at them with regards to the offense, albeit they were helped by a few turnovers by Jared goff In that game. But at the same time too, it was a commander seam that every single time the Lions were able to score, they an answer for them. So that very much did stand out to me, and that does have me feel a little bit better about the Washington commanders in this game.

But do think that with Jane Daniels is able to keep a clean sheet and a lot of places, you're going to be getting that right around about even money you might even be able to get if you shop around, perhaps like a plus one oh five something like that. I do like what Jade Daniels is bringing to the table, but again I do think that what else is going to be very key what you do get out of Brian Robinson, because obviously Jane Daniels, he's able to move around. He's able to give you a little bit of something as well. But you're able to get right now DraftKings even money on Brian Robinson to go over forty rush yards. I think that for the Washington commanders, they are going to try to do a little bit more to help out Jaydan Daniels give them a little bit of confidence. Obviously it's been a really by committee with regards to Robinson and Eckler, but Robinson has really been one of those main guys for them as far as the season. Eckler is a little bit more of a pass catcher out of the backfield as well, So I do think that that's going to be able to help out quite a bit. But I do take a look at this game. I do think that for the Washington Commanders, they're going to be trying to keep it on the ground a little bit more.

And I think that.

This is going to be so key as well for the Washington Commanders. The biggest thing, don't fall down early. Even if you do fall down like three points something like that, that's manageable. I'm talking about fall down ten plus points. You don't want to be down multiple possessions in this game. If you're able to keep it reasonable, if you're in that game right there, if you're able to just make sure that you're executing early on, that's going to be very big. And that's going to fall upon dan Quinn to be able to put together a nice sort of playscript make sure that in the first quarter they're able to execute those plays maybe get a little bit of an early lead. I think that that's going to be so key for them and for this Philadelphi Eagles team. It has been a team that has been one of the worst in the first quarter all year long of being able to put points up on the board. They've been a little bit of an ill prepared team early on during the games, and then later on that's where things have really taken hold for them. And I think that that's going to be such a big part of this game as well. Right now, if you're looking at Saquan Barkley with his rush yards, and I personally have not bet this personally, so I will throw that out there, but right now, to go over one hundred thirty rush yards is a minus one h nine. Again, probably don't think I'm going to be diving in on any Sequan Barkley the props just because they've gone so far up. But I can't bring myself to take an under on that either, just because with what he's been able to do here in the postseason, with what he's done all year long, with being a two thousand yard rusher during the regular season, what he's done in these first two games against Washington Commanders. Again in that first game that they played, he had two touchdowns north of one hundred and forty yards, and even when they Canny Pickett in at quarterback, he was still a will break one hundred in that game as well. Certainly not a guy that I want to be going up against too much in this game. And I do think that what is going to come down to in this game as well is how these two defenses play as well. As I do think that with what I was talking about with regards to Eagles starting very slowly on offense and this being Commanders seemed that I think that they're going to be looking to play a lot of shall we say, mistake free football. I think that a lot of people might call it scare football. I call it just trying to be able to manage the game personally. For the Commanders, I think that they're going to be doing a little bit more of that than what we've seen throughout the season, because I do think that even for someone that is as Poisous, he's going to try to stay within himself, try to make sure that he doesn't do the show. He say bad play at the early part of the game, I do think that the causes for a little bit of a slow start right now we're seeing that total out of forty seven and a half. I lean a little bit more to the under rather than anything else with regards to this game, And personally, I just lean a little bit more to the points with the Washington Commanders, because when it comes down to these big time football games, what do you want to be trusting in the better quarterback and the better coach. Now for Jaalen Nerds, he's got more experience, There's no question about it. Nick Sirianni, He's brought his team here before. But I think that Nick Sirianni is the inferior coach. And I do think that Nick Sirianni catches more srays than he deserves.

Like people are.

Talking about shit, he be on the hot seat if he loses his game or something like that, Like maybe got some ridiculous sakes. If you look at the record itself, he's sort of like I mean, what you take a look at with regards to Ryan day Over at Ohio State, if you were looking to make a college football to NFL comparison, Like I mean, if you look at the record for Nick Sirianni, it's pretty stinking good. So the guy has to be doing something right and or something not wrong, Like I know that some people might be saying, hey, he's just merely just removing himself from the situation.

He's making sure that he just is.

Sort of like that if you're in a fine dining restaurant or something, he's a waiter that's not spelling the soup, and right now he's not spelling the soup like and you can make out of it what it is. But the record speaks for itself as well. So I do think that there's that aspect of it. But I take a look at the Washington commanders and what they've been able to get out of Jalen, what they've been able to get out of Jayden Daniels, I think that's big, and I just leaned towards being able to get the points here with Washington commanders to go along with that. Unders So that's going to be a fun one to take a look at, to say least, certainly, we do have to take a look at the AFC side of things, as this is a matchup that.

Everyone was hoping for.

This is Chiefs, this is Bill's we'll break it down next right here on cashing out on decent Esports Bank Network.

Welcome back to Catching Out here on VS in the Sports Betting Network.

We're back here on Cashing Out. I'm Vicent the Sports Betting Network. We've got ourselves a lot that is going down in sports here in the next forty eight or so ours. Most of you have lived through what we've gotten in college basketball today with one hundred and forty nine games, just absolutely magnificent what we've been able to get there. But I said, we do have to take a look at what we're getting in terms of the AFC title game as well as we'll dive in on a lot more college basketball a little bit later on during the show. Is So, we've got some nip and tuck results that are coming right now. That Tennessee versus Auburn game as I'm doing this, tied up with about eight minutes remaining, So that game is going to be coming down to the bitter end. Alabama looking to pull away from LSU. But I'm not going to be able to cover that seventeen to seventeen and a half right now, seventy three to sixty four, about two forty nine remaining in that one as well. So we've got a lot of excitement that's going down there. But that said, I want to know what's exciting. This is going to be a big one. I know that Derek Stevens, he actually joined the guys for Matt Brown along with Mike Mike Sammich. He joined them for the Ready Set Bets show, and he was talking about this the fact that this Chiefs versus Bills game, it is most likely going to be the most beat game that isn't a super Bowl, which I can totally see that because you've got two teams that we were expecting to be here in the Bills versus the Chiefs. You've got two marquee quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen, and right now you've got a line of the Chiefs and a lot of spots being right around that two and a half point favorite. It's right now seeing a total about forty eight and a half and it's going to be so interesting to see how this progress is moving forward as right now seeing a lot of twos out there in the market as well. But I said, with regards to this Kansas City Chiefs team, it's just so hard to go against them when you've seen them do it time and time again. Now you can fear the fact that this is a team that they played a lot of football over the last few years, a team that has had to play more games than anyone else to be able to get to this spot. But I mean, with the Kansay Chiefs, there's just something about having been there, done that I just can't go against. And for the Buffalo Bills, I do think that they have the right idea of mind. What they did here in the offseason was they get rid of Sefon Diggs. They actually simplify things a little bit more for Josh Allen, and I would argue that they're a little bit more equipped to now win games in December and January because they're prioritizing the run. When they need Josh Allen to make those special plays during the game, which you only need a few of them. He's able to make those plays, but you take a little bit less off of his plate. You make sure that hey, all right, we're going to stay within ourselves, we're going to run the ball, we're going to keep the defense on us. He's been able to do a great job of doing that. And if you're looking at the battle of the running backs in this game. I really do like what I've been seeing thus far this season on James Cook. James Cook, he doesn't necessarily grab the headlines or anything like that, but and this is the guy that during the regular season had sixteen touchdowns and himself a rock solid game against the Baltimore Ravens. Has been plenty productive here in the postseason. I had that one or twenty yard game against at never Broncos. So I do like what I've been seeing out of him. On the flip side, for the Kancae Chiefs, it's all about, all right, what are you going to be able to get to be able to help out Patrick Mahomes as well, because the Mahomes numbers themselves have not been necessarily the world's most eye popping like we typically see out of him. But he just finds a way to be able to get the job done. And that's what it's all about with the Kancae Chiefs. I just go back to what Jeff Schwartz said a few weeks ago a stormy on the Money Move show where he was talking about this. This was prior to the Texans versus the Chiefs game, So first game that we saw in the postseason for the Chiefs, and he was saying that, you know what, the spread is going to be very much in question for the game, but the Chiefs to be able to win on the money line should be like minus five thousand. Obviously not going to be quite that with regards to going up against the Buffalo Bills rather than the Houston Texans. But I mean, that's just what this kan See Chiefs team does. They have won so many games by one score that it's not even funny. They just find a way to be able to make those one or two extra plays. That speaks to coaching, That speaks to a quarterback that just knows exactly what it takes. And it's really hard for me to be able to go against that here, especially with the Kancae Chiefs team that time and time again, they just back it up and back it up. Now the question becomes, who's going to be able to step up for the Kansae Chiefs. Is it going to be old reliable In Travis Kelce. We all know that he always plays his best football this time of the year. We saw that in the game against the Houston Texans. He goes out there, puts up north one hundred yards as a touchdown renaissance sort of sort of performance. But you've had Zae if you're worthy of being able to step up quite a bit for this team, now, you didn't get much outside of worthy of LN Travis Kelcey. You didn't really target a lot of other guys Patrick Holmes, but he really didn't need to. And I think what is so big as well? What are you going to be able to get out of Isaiah Pacheco? Because if I'm looking at an X factor in this game, I do think that it is him because he just hasn't necessarily given you a whole lot this season due to being injured, due to being out, and he's barely been sort of in a time share thus far this season with Kareem Hunt. But I think that those two guys are going to need to come up big. And it sees feel to me like it could be a little bit more of an Isaiah Pachecko game, especially if the Achiefs are up like three or so points, maybe they're out by a touchdown with a few minutes remaining, they need to ice o'clock. I think that they could be going to him quite a bit. And what else we're going to is just looking at great spots in general to be able to spend a few nights. And if you're out there listening and if you want a little bit of taste of Las Vegas, well you're in luck. As Circa owner Derek Stevens, he's offering fifteen percent off of his incredible properties Circa out here in Las Vegas, the d and Golden Gate.

It does start right there fifteen as a promo code over at Circle Blas Vegas dot com. But with reguards to this game, I do think that with the chiefs, they do find a way to be able to get it done. But I do take a little bit more of a look at the under in this spot as well, because for the Chiefs, it's just been a team that, again they've been doing just enough time and time again.

And with the Buffalo Bills, they.

Did have a little bit of a shall we say, a little bit of a rough performance in terms of their defense against Baltimore Ravens a little bit later on. But the fact that they do have pieces that they haven't had for much of the season I think is big as well. I do think the fact that you now have that guy with regards to the middle linebacker in you do have that guy who has been able to help the team out time and time again be able to help them out in Matt Mulano. I think that that is going to be massive for them moving forward. They've deal with quite a few injuries with regards to that middle linebacking crew, and pretty much all these guys they are good to go. Greg Russo has been a relatively good guy in terms of being able to rush the passer as well. So I think that that is going to be massive in this game. And for the Kansas Chiefs, what has really allowed them to be able to go on this run is you may recall prior to their first Super Bowl that defense. Early on during that season, it was not great, to say the least. It was really struggling, and it was able to rise up towards the second half of the season. Ever since then, it has been one of the best units in all of football. Like you get to take a look at all the offenses, all the defenses, you can pull them all together this Chiefs defense time and time again. Other than like maybe one or two bad performances in this season, like they had that rough game against the Carolina Panthers towards the middle part of the season, I mean pass that this has been one of the best teams in all of football in terms of just being able to shackle you down. If you're wanting to go with the pass game, they're going to take that away from you.

They take away what you do best.

I do think that the Kansae Chiefs are going to be able to do a good job in this spot. I think that's going to be interesting to see how that affects. Josh Allen props because I do think that this is going to be one of those games where even though the Buffalo Bills have been looking to have a little bit more balance, even though they have been looking to, you know what, try to take a little bit less off of Josh Allen. I think that this is a game where Josh Allen is going to need to be really the guy that puts on the cape, the guy that needs to be able to lift the team over the top.

I just don't know if he's going to be able to do so. Now.

I do think that Josh Allen is going to be utilizing his feet quite a bit as a runner in this game. Right now, if you look at as over a rushing prop over at DraftKings right now, you're finding that over fifty yards out of minus one fourteen.

I think that that would be a solid look.

Personally, It's not one that I don't think I'm going to be playing in this game, but would not be surprised if he's looking to really run it quite a bit. But what I do think is going to be interesting is in terms of passing props, whether or not Josh Allen is going to throw an interception, because I do think that this is going to be one of those games where the Chiefs they do find a way to be able to have that one score lead, and when they have a one score lead, if the Bills get the ball back two to three minutes remaining. What does Josh Allen do? And I just lean a little bit more towards him throwing an interception right now is interception props in a lot of places. You're finding that out about minus one oh five even money somewhere in that neighborhood for him to throw an interception. I do think that this is one of those games where he might do so. This has been a Kansae Chiefs team that time and time again they've been able to step up in these ordeals. I do think that for Josh Allen it's going to be a little bit of an issue for him. And I take a look at both of these guys in terms of their passing yards right now, Patrick Mahomes is over under his two to fifty four and a half. Josh Allen is over under his two thirty one a half. I won't be surprised if both of these guys go under. Like, I do think that both of these defenses are going to step up. I do think that both of these teams are going to prioritize the run. I do think that maybe this isn't going to have the offensive fireworks that a lot of people are expecting. I think that it's going to be a good game. I think that it comes down to the bitter end. But it's one of those things where you don't go broke to taking a profit. And if you've been betting on the Chiefs to win in the playoffs over the last three years, well you've been able to find your way to the window. Now not always covering all the spreads, especially on the big spreads. And I personally have had this with the Kansae Chiefs. When the Chiefs get up to being a massive and lofty favorite, like we did see if you took that bad number late against the Houston Texans, not a number that was able to get there for you, always have my trepidation there. But when the Chiefs are a three point favorite less, just time and time again, it does feel like they're able to get the job done. Can't go away from this coach and coach and quarterback combo. Personally, I'm gonna be on the on the Kansay Chiefs. I'm in on the under and like I'm saying right now, out of the propspoard that I'm liking, I'm liking Josh Allen to throw an interception. I'm liking both of these guys to go under the passing yards right now with Mahomes, that's two fifty four and a half and right now with Allen, that's two thirty one a half. So we've got a lot of fun that's happening out there. What else is a lot of fun is taking a look at some coaching iris and taking looks of college basketball as well. As I'm doing this, we are seeing the conclusion of one hundred and forty nine games in college basketball right now, and we are seeing the conclusion of the NFL coaching carouself. So we'll dive in on both of those fronts next right here on Cashing.

Out on vicent Esports Bank Network.

Welcome back to Catching Out here on VS in the Sports Banning Network.

We're you're on Cashing Out, I'm VS in the Sports Banking Network. You've got a lot to decipher in terms of what we've seen over the last forty eight or so hours in terms of the sports world. As right now, we're seeing the conclusion of one hundred and forty nine college basketball games on this Saturday, including number one right now, very much in a dogfight against Tennessee.

Tennessee just took a.

Forty eight to forty seven lead with three minutes remaining, So buckle up for safety, whether you've got Tennessee, whether you've got Auburn, if you're sweating out the total in this game as well, if you're on the under, you're hoping big bucks. No way he's with regards to overtime as well. So yeah, there's a lot that is going to be going down there. It looks like Alabama is going to be able to polish us off and get the job done outright against LSU, but not going to be able to cover the double figures eighty to seventy three with thirteen seconds remaining there. So we've still got a ton of games that are going down. And then you get the good old Big West action as well, Like right now you're seeing Kelsey Bakersfield meet Meet the road Runners going up against ec Riverside. It's just all day action. It is just absolutely awesome what we've got out here. And we've got ourselves a lot to decipher with regards to what we've been seeing in terms of the coaching hires as well, as we do have a lot that is going to be happening in terms of what we're going to be seeing in the landscape of football as well. And my gosh, it has been so wild what we've seen over the last forty eight or so hours. You've got Pete Carroll who he gets hired on by the Raiders, and then I know that there's been a lot made about what happened late Friday in terms of Brian Schottenheimer getting hired as well. Right now, the lone vacancy right now that is the do our own Saints. So we've got a lot that is going to be happening there. We'll be pocketing that a little bit though, for a little bit later on, because we do have Chris frank Littleboard. He does great work and the Philadelphia Eagles beat. He's over at NJ dot Com. He's going to be joining us breaking down this game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders, and he's joined to me via the Progressive Guest Line, and Chris, it's great to have you Board, Thank you, Hey.

Thank you for having me. The Championships. Sunday is so excited for it to begin.

Absolutely, it is going to be a lot of fun and how about if we do ask you about that first things first before we do dive in on this game, because we've seen a lot happen in terms of the coaching carousel. Obviously, one of the teams that are out there in the division that you covered, the Dallas Cowboys, they decided to go with Brian Schottneimer. Just what's been your reaction to this, because it feels like there were a few big fish out there, the Dallas Cowboys. They were, in my opinion, I felt like they wanted to try to stick with Mike McCarthy. They might have been taken aback that he didn't decide to go there, and they just decided, you know what, let's keep things generic, let's keep things in.

House, and we're going to go with Brian Schottenneimer.

You know how the Dolphins is a pop champagne every time there's a team that went in that was no longer undefeated and the one was left, well, I think everybody in the NFC, he's just doing the same thing. When they saw the shot on Irony Across, it pops some champagne because I look at the hire. Is this uninspiring to me? I know they wanted to keep some continuity, and Dak gets the guy who helped him out when he was doing very well. But I just look at the fact that if you're going to hire a Sean him, or why not just keep McCarthy sign him for a couple of years, or start to process a lot earlier. So you can look at a guy like Ben Johnson, you look at a guy like Aaron Golda, what have you in. I just don't know what this team is doing. I mean, even if my matt Arifuss does come in and become a defensive coordinator, that duo to me, I just don't see how this team can compete and be in a game like ruin to see on Sunday. So I thought it was mismanaged and to the point where you're looking and if you're the Cowboys, probably two or three years where you're going to struggle even more.

Yeah, absolutely, I'm right there with you and I it could work out in the end, but right now it doesn't look like the most savory of moves. And if you're looking to just riley the truths, if you're looking for those headlines, because Jerry Jones, he always looks for the headlines. Brian John Nimer not necessarily going to be getting them. But we do have a lot of headlines with regards to what we're seeing in the NFC. With this being in inter division rivalry between the Eagles and the Commanders, it's going to be going down on Sunday, And first things first, before we go any further, what is the status of some of these injured Eagles, because as we know, Jalen Hurts has not been one hundred percent here in the postseason, and that Eagles defense has been dealing a few ailments as well well.

Jalen Hurts. A good thing is for the Eagles that he's going to play now, the effectiveness when in terms of a run game is still in question. He's going to be wearing a knee brace on that left knee that got rolled off by the Rams. So it's a big deal that he has to show at least early on that he's mobile enough to be able to move around. Because what we saw in atlast game when he left a concussion in Week sixteen against the Commanders, they loaded the box up with Kenny Pickett in there and they say, okay, say Gouan beat us with eight nine in the bus and Eagles had struggled a bit to the Barkley only got about like three or four yards a carry at times. If that so, the fact is they if you have heard someone to run, at least one or two all pull the ball on the outside. That may force the commanders to keep everybody back. That lessens the people in the box, and he counts. If you're the commanders, you have to keep if he's running, you have to keep at least one player back on the backside edge rusher because you got to respect his ability to run. So to see him do that, that's a big question. And then the other one is center Cam Jurgens, who popped up. He injured his back in that snow game against the Rams, and he's going to play. He's make sure as he's progressing. So the fact that he's there as good that Eagles to use that and they need that for that run game. And then the call out those protections because if not, you're facing Landed Dickerson moving over from left guard to center, and Tyler Stein, your former third round pick, has to come in there and play as well too. So they want their full starting officer line intact and be able to attack this commander's defensive line.

Yeah, no question about that is going to be so key as we do have. Chris Franklin does great work over at NJ dot com. He's on the Philadelphia Eagles beat. He's joining me Radio one cashing out a visa d sports fan work. And if you're listening on Serious XM channel one point fifty eight, glad to be joining you once again as Vison. Our roots are with Serious XM. We're back on Sirius. So great to have you aboard and you're able to stream us live on Vson dot com, the Vson watchapp, YouTube TV, iHeartRadio, fire TV. I mean, the list goes on and on, and Sirius XM back in the fold as well, So very happy about that. And with regards to the flip side, with regards to the Washington commanders, is there anything that needs to be noted with regards to some of the ailments that they might be facing as well, or perhaps something that the Eagles hadn't seen in their first two matchups. Albeit one of those matchups, as you recall, was when we saw mostly Kenny Pickett in there in game number two.

Well, I think the big thing is for them is both of their size and the trenches. When we look offensively, from the fact that Sam Cosme's not able to play because he towards ACL against the Lions, that's huge. And we've seen the way that the physics tackle, jail and card for the Eagles is really starting to take on and come and take a life from the zone and looking like one of the best defensive linemen in the league is drawing double teams and sometimes triple team. And now you have Coffee who's not in there, who didn't allow her second those previous two games against them. That's a big, big loss for that offensive line and Trince Goslin to come in there and really play it, step up his level. And if I'm the Eagles, I'm mc fangiel defensive coordinator, I'll put in jail and Carr saying, you know what, whoever sign he keep staying on that side and going to that one too, but then the other one as well too. He mentioned the Eagles run game and the importance of that. The fact that Deron Payin was ruled out today is huge. It is very, very huge in the fact that you look at the success that the Eagles have had breaking off those long runs has also come within between the tackles and the way that they're playing. So the fact you don't have Deron pain in there, and you already had Saquon Barker, who's average one hundred and forty eight yards in the first previous two games against them, that's a big, big problem to have right now for.

Commanders, yep, that is a big problem to have. And with regards to Philadelphi Eagle side of things, I think the biggest question for them in terms of this game is how are they going to be facing off against Jane Daniels and how are they going to be going against them? Because they've already seen them twice and obviously this is the guy that looks completely different from the first time that they saw him up until now.

This is going to be time number three.

But what do you think their plan of tech is going to be to try to maybe not completely stop them, but to try to be able to contain them, and what we saw last week against the Detroit Lions, making sure that that doesn't happen to them.

I think the anything if you look offensively, if I'm the Commanders, I'm going I'm going to a hottle a lot. I'm going a lot of tempo and I'm getting the ball out quick to make sure that I'm not getting that pressure. And I'm really trying to tire out the Eagles defense. And then the other side, the flip side, if you go could defensively, you got to throw a lot. You may have to throw a lot of pressures against Jalen Hurst because he's handled the blitz well, but now that he's not as mold as he normally is, you're going to test that out early. You know that, I'm if I'm the watch commander's defense, I'm giving as crazy to say this, but I'm giving Marshall Lannim more help because the last time when you see him going one on one against A. J. Brown, he was able to force three defensive pass and affairs penalties and he also had five catches for sixty eight yards in the time down. So the fact that you had that type of matchup against the Clue, I'm going to heavily trying to go ahead and tact them in terms of that. But yeah, the commanders need to do something, especially even though they're really good. That's six next to their name is is a misnominicer even though they're a six seed, they're not playing like one for sure, So they're going to have a couple of wrinkles when he's part of Cliff Kingsbury and Joe Junior hanslthing up their sleeve.

There's no question about it. And I do want to throw this out here as well. I feel like it's a pretty simple question, But I mean, how big is the game plan going to be? First of Kwon Barkley, because we saw in game number one one hundred plus yards two touchdowns against the be Anders. Game number two, even with Kenny Pickett out there, he was able to go off on a hundred plus. I have to think that he's a focal point here on Sunday.

Oh yeah, oh heavily, heavily. You found it. Any way you can get him to touch the ball, whether it be swinging passes, run the boat, you do that. This has up so much for the Eagles offense, and you set up a play action off of that the way that when they run that pistol looks tough. It puts the commander's tough because he's in a traditional spot where of running backs want to get the ball. But at the same time, you can still give Jalen Hurts of Billy to overview the secondary and the coverage, and then the fact that he is with him is always thought he's going to have a home run ball. You look at he led the league in twenty plus yards runs as well too, and you look at the playoffs. He said, he's been on terror and you just we think you have them bottled up and you got this run game and check he just rips one off. So I think there's a game where I think the prop was like one twenty five beforehand. I think he gets more than that.

Absolutely.

And Chris, it's always great to have you, Bory my friend, thank you so much.

Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.

Great to be able to talk about these Eagles versus Commanders game with Chris Franklin. And how about if we go from the NFC side of things to the AFC side of things, says the running back himself.

Christian Occoy.

He's going to be joining me next right here on cashing out on Visa D Sports Fan Network
