Published Jan 26, 2025, 5:17 AM

In this hour of Cashing Out, Greg Peterson looks ahead to the AFC Championship game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs with former Chiefs running back Christian Okoye. Plus, New York Giants host Lance Medow joins the show to give his picks ahead of the Conference Championship games. Greg also breaks down the betting trends in the Conference Championship games. 

This is cashing out on vs in the Sportsmanning.

Network, and we're back here for our number two of cashing out on Visa the Sports Banking Network. We are back here on Sirius XM channel one point fifty eight, and great to be back and great to have on. This man is Christian o'koye. He was a former Chiefs running back back in the day, and you may recall he was like the second best player on tech Bobil because everyone wanted to be both Jackson, but Christian o'koye was really good on that game as well. The guy was a tremendous running back back in the day. And Christian, it's great to have you board, my friend. Thank you so much.

Well, thank you for having me on, thank.

You for joining me. Christian and Christian.

Obviously, this is going to be a tremendous game, one that many of us have been wanting to see, Bills versus Chiefs for all the marbles to be able to go to the Super Bowl. And first things first, just how do you take a look at what, in my opinion, is sarting to become a little bit more of a rivalry between the Bills and the chief says, I know that there has been a lot of talk about does Patrick Malmes truly have like a peer, does he have a rival? And this does seem like it has the likes to perhaps become one between the Bills and the Chiefs.

Yeah, it has become a river because you know, since Josh Allen came on board and there we have my homes. You know, Josh is a extremely talented quarterback and he poses a lot of dangers to many teams, and the way he brings his game is just incredible. A lot of times it seems like he's carrying the whole team on his back. And so it's going to be an exciting game that everybody's looking forward to watching for sure.

Oh, no question.

But this is going to be such a fun one and everyone's tuned in for the quarterbacks. But I was mentioning this a little bit before. I think that what could be a big key for the Kanca Chiefs is going to be the ground game. And how do you take a look at sort of that time share in the backfield for the Chiefs. Because you've got Kareem, you've also got Isaac Pacheco. But as we know, with Pacheco, he was out for much of the season, and I feel like because of that, he's a little bit whilst He's a guy that just has not been brought up too much in general, and I feel like he could be a royal X factor here for the Chiefs on Sunday.

Yeah, Pacheco was injured earlier in the regular season and now it's healthy. But we have Karim Haunts and Kareem Is. He's getting the job done, especially when Pacheco was out. Karim hunt Is he's run the boat very well and I love the way he rans. He runs and so and that's side of the game. I think we are ready and then my homes of course does what it does. We have a good defense, but sometimes we tend to start slow. But our ready game is going to help us a great deal of this playoff season.

Yep, I'm right there with you, and I think that that's so big really for both of these teams as well, because I take a look on the Bills side of things, and we recall it during the off season, they did not bring back Sefon Diggs, they didn't necessarily add a whole bunch of weapons for Josh Allen. They did make a few in season moves to be able to help out a little bit. But how do you think that that actually helped out the Buffalo Bills a little bit more, having a little bit less with regards to weapons, but relying a little bit more on the ground game with a thousand yard rusher of their own in James Cook.

Well.

Of course, when Stephan Diggs was there, it was causing a lot of problems for them offensively, you know, demanded a lot of things. But since they got rid of them, I think they've been flowing pretty nicely. As she said, they've run involve very well. Of course, georsh Allen is they runner and you know that they they're dangerous right now, Yeah.

They certainly are.

It's been a lot of fun to be able to take a look at both of these teams in general. And I think that with this game in general, a lot of people are looking for offensive fireworks. They're looking for these big chunk plays. But I do take a look at both of these defenses as well. And I've been saying this on the show, and frankly, i've been saying it the last few weeks. In general, one of the most fearsome units in all of football right now. Isn't one that a lot of people are bringing up, but it's a Chiefs defense really other than that game that I saw against the Carolina Panthers, and obviously first time around, Josh Allen was able to get the job done as well. This has been a really good core of guys. Just what have you seen out of this Chiefs defense? One that I think it's a little bit lost with everything that we've seen with the three peet of the Chiefs and Mahomes getting so much of the credit.

Well, you know, our defense, of course, they are often to hold those you know, to our positions and that you know last year, if you remember, our offense didn't pick up, but our defense was holding on the team. And this year is the same thing. Because of all these slow starts that we have, our close games. He's brought about our defense, our defense just supporting us and then towards the end of the game, my Homes did what he had to do. So we just hope that everything flows very nicely tomorrow. Our running game, of course, we trust our running games at my homes. If we can just play a football game, I think we'll be okay and not relying so much on defense, and if we need him, our defense is there.

And what I think is also so key about this game as well, Christian, is the fact that the Chiefs were able to get that number one seed. They were able to get that buy and how big you have a factor? Do you think that's playing right now? Because I just noticed in the previous game against the Houston Texans, albeit not necessarily the strongest team out there in the AFC, but Travis Kelcey just looked like a completely different player than what he was the last few weeks of the regular season, and I feel like he might have benefited more than anyone else from that bye week.

Well.

Of course he is older, of course, and so getting some rest is needed. And of course Travis Kelsey's is a veteran. Throughout the season, people are saying that he loves the step, but of course divisional game, he came up and he performed in.

A big way.

He's a very experienced idem, so any time that we need him, he's there to produce, and he's going to be there tomorrow, and of course when we went tomorrow and go to the super Bowl, we're going to need him, need his experience Oh.

There's no question about Christian o'coy. He's a former CANCA Chiefs running back. He's joining me right here on cashing out. Obviously the Sports Fanning Network and Christian, I do have to ask you about this as well, because you're going to be there in Arrowhead on Sunday, You're going to be at the game taking it all in. Just how big is it that at the Cancer Chiefs we're able to get that one seed, not just for the rest, but also for the home field advantage, one that a lot of people I talked about one of the best in allo. You get to experience it and you have experience it as a player yourself.

Well, it's very important. Every team is looking for the home field advantage and you know playing at home throughout the playoffs, and I know that's exactly what the Bills were looking for and then the Ravens were looking for it. It's unfortunate for them that they lost a few games to give it up for the Chiefs. But yeah, we are very much at home when we play at home, and we have teams where we want them when they come to Airhead Stadium. Our fans, we have my own fan fans in the world. So we trust Irowhead Stadium, we trust our players playing there, and then of course we trust that our fans who show up supporting the team. So that's how we want.

It absolutely, And the Chiefs fans, as we know, they always do a great job and be able to show up, whether that be a preseason game, whether that be a game to be able to go to the super Bowl. You know that they're going to be able to pack the Sands and Christian Just from everything that you've been seeing with the KANSASA Chiefs, there's always the usual suspects that we talk about. We talk about Patrick Mahomes, we talk about Jones on the defensive side of things, we talk about Travis Kelce. But is there a guy or two that comes to mind for you that you feel like could be playing a big factor in this game that maybe isn't getting talked about so much and they should be having a light shone on them just a little bit more.

I think dere Hopkins. Nobody talks about him very often, but he's a shorthand. I mean every time he tore him the boy, they catches it. So I think he's going to be a huge difference maker because he's been looked down upon, but he will be there and he's going to help the team tomorrow.

Trust me, Oh there's no question about it.

And having that experience in the wide receiver crew, how big do you think that is because you don't just have DeAndre Hopkins, but also Hollywood Brown was out for much.

Of the season as well.

Getting him back, I feel like that's a big factor for the Chiefs team as well, and he could be able to step up and give the teams some production.

Oh yeah, definitely. Oliwood Brown is ready, is healthy, and he's going to be playing tomorrow unworthy. Of course, he's been very electric with our offense and we look for him to make some big plays tomorrow. I think I read somewhere away he says he's going to be playing with the chip on his shoulder. But if I were to speak to him, I'll tell him just don't say anything. Go and play your game, you know, because I don't like people that play with their mouths at all.

Absolutely, let your play on the field do all the talking. And then I do have to ask about this as well, because with the Kancy Chiefs, obviously it's been a tremendous year for them. But I mean it has been a team that has been having a lot of one score games. They have found themselves in very tight spots in general. Do you think that this is a case where we're with the Kansie Chiefs, it might be catching up to them in the worst of all spots, or is just a case where you just trust in the quarterback, you trust in the coach combination because it just feels like time and time again, they're able to figure out ways that other teams just are not in terms of being able to pull out these games, all.

Those ones called game means that the Chiefs find a way to win. We always find a way to win. Games are always close. You know, if it wasn't if people say it's luck, if it's locked, how does it happen all the time? Nobody's lucky all the time? You know it's when you're good. Well, maybe you have some luck, but you know it's going to be different.

I think absolutely.

And then I do want to bring this up to be able to close it out as well. What would be the Bill's key to be able to say in this game or perhaps be able to win it, because with the Chiefs they have found so many different ways to be able to win it. But with the Bills, they certainly do have some talent on the other side of things as well.

Well, yeah, you know, I mean, we're not playing a high school team, playing a very very very good team, So it's going to be a tough game tomorrow and that is going to take experience to go buy the bill, So it will be very interesting.

Absolutely, and Christian always do appreciate it, my friend. Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you thanks for having me. I have a good night and go chief.

Absolutely, Christian, we know where his allegiances are going to be, lying Heughes, a former Kanas City Chiefs running back. And as I said as well, if for those of you guys who used to play Tech Boble back in the day, Christian o'kaye, he was one of the best players on that game. So I always do love that and always love having a former player board to be able to get their perspective and from one great guest to another. Coming up next, we're going to be talking to lionce Meadow. He is a host for the New York Giants along with the Columbia Lions basketball team. Up next right here, on Cashing Out on VISA Esports Bank Network.

Welcome back to catching out here on VS in the Sports Bening Network.

Oh Bank, you're on cashing Out. I'm decent d Sports Saying Network. Great to be joined by this man on the progressive guest line as we've got Lance Meadow board. He does a great job hosting at a wide variety of different places. He's over there with the New York Giants. He does some Columbia basketball as well, the men's and the women's team. And showing me right now, Lance, is great to get you aboard. Thank you so much.

Well, thanks having on Greg, looking forward to the conversation. Hopepall is well on your end as well.

Things are very well on my end.

And you've got a lot of experience with what we're seeing right now in sports here right now in the division in which we're seeing that NFC title game between the Eagles and the Washington Commanders. But how about the first things First, we do a little college basketball because we're coming off of one hundred and forty nine games slate. The IVY League has been a lot of fun with seeing teams like Princeton along with Cornell. I mentioned this CU off air. Finally we're seeing some quality basketball from Dartmouth as well. Just how do you take a look at the IVY League, Because you're in in eear out, it feels like the IVY League is a thirteen or fourteen seed in the NCAA tournament, and every single year that representative scares someone slash is able win a game or two in the tournament.

Well, and that proved to be true last season, of course, in terms of Yale getting in winning on a buzzer beater against Brown in the IVY League Tournament championship game in New York, which I had the pleasure of calling for Western One Sports. And then they go on and they knock off Auburn in the NCAA Tournament. We've seen Princeton go on some very impressive runs. So the caliber of the IVY League, to your point, Greg, has been very strong over the last few years. I think what may be unique and different about this season is normally it's been a race between Princeton, Yale, and Cornell. Brown got the fourth seed last season, and I just mentioned they made it all the way to the championship game by knocking off Princeton in the semies this year. You brought up Dartmouth. They're emerging. It's early, but the fact that they're two and two in league play I think is promising. Penn had an impressive win over Columbia earlier today in which the Quakers scored ninety points. Steve Donahue, who's the former head coach of Cornell, has an excellent track record, but it hasn't been pretty over the last few seasons because he's dealt with injuries, a transition on the rosters. So if teams like Penn and Dartmouth can remain in competition for the fourth seed, and we don't sleep on a team like Brown, which still has one of the best players in the league in Keno Lilly Junior, Yeah, I think it certainly says an awful lot about what we could be looking at by the time we get to the early stages of March end. It better prepares whoever does win the IVY League Tournament two. Once again, circle back to what you were talking about maybe making some noise again in the NCAA tournament.

And it's wild to think Columbia, they went eleven and two outside the conference, they had that big went over Villanova right now, ohing foreign conference play, and I think that that just really shows the depth that you've got with the IVY League. This year feels like it's deeper than it really ever has been. And what else is very deep is just the talent that we've got in the NFL as well. Lancey do a great job with the New York Giants. And as you know, you've seen these two teams twice this year, the Commanders the Eagles. They're going to be squaring off in the NFC title game. They're going to be looking to be able to get to the super Bowl. And I know that there are a few props that you're looking at in this game, So take me through just so the keys that you're going to be seeing in this game and some of the props that you do like for Sunday.

Well, in terms of the dynamics of this game, the one thing that concerns me the most, especially when you look at the injury report, is the fact that the Commanders are down one of their best interior defensive linemen and that is Deron Paine, who was dealing with a knee and a finger injury. Okay, well, why is that a big concern? Because you need the big boys up front de help slow down the run game and Tae Kwon Barkley. So now all of a sudden, you're removing in from the equation. The other thing that concerned for Washington's sake is on the flip side in the trenches. Sam Cosmy, who's their right guard veteran presence, e's down. So it looks like Chris Paul, former seventh rounder, who has the starting experience in the last season, is going to be thrown into the mix. But that's a significant downgrade compared to what Cosmey has brought. Stability was at the guard position. And what are the Eagles known for. Greg They're known for just as strong play in the trenches, whether it's their defensive line, which is a rotational group of guys such as Jalen Carter, who's the head of the kingdom for them, and then of course the offensive line. So I'm concerned about Washington's ability to stop the run and be get after Jalen Hurts, especially with Hurts not one hundred percent. So when you take both of those things at the consideration, that doesn't mean that I don't think it's going to be a close game. I think it's going to be decided within a touchdown. But I like Philadelphia for those two reasons, on top of the fact that they've been very consistent in producing explosive plays, specifically on the ground with Hurtz and Saquon Barkley. Now you mentioned the prop bets that I like. I think two in particular jump off the page to me. Number one, Jalen Hurts over one hundred and ninety two and a half passing yards. Now, he hasn't been throwing for a huge amount of yards in the last few games, but keep in mind they were playing in the snow in the last game, which was not necessarily conducive to the air. I think Washington with Duran payin out is going to have to focus so much more in taking the personnel to clogging up the lanes for Saquon Barkley that he should have opportunities through the air, specifically with Aj Brown and DeVante Smith. And I like Jalen Hurts to get in the territory of right around two hundred yards. Washington secondary is very susceptible Marshawn Lattimore particular, and that brings me to why I like AJ Brown over sixty six and a half yards because AJ's probably gonna see a lot of Lottimore a number two. Every time AJ Brown has had issues with the passing game, you go back to earlier in the season December Carolina, he was complaining, what do they do? They force set him the football? So I think that seemven more attractive given the fact that we're only two weeks removed from the Packers playoff game where he was seen on the sideline reading a book and we're still trying to read in between the lines. So those two in particular, I think are very attractive because of the dynamics of the game and the commander's injuries.

Yeah, Ben, absolutely, If AJ Brown is going over his receiving prop, we're probably going to be seeing jail on earths airing it out quite a bit as well. And we're airing this out as well here at VS and it's going to be Super Bowl fifty nine coming up, and we're saving you fifty nine dollars off of a VSI Pro annual subscription.

As we're joined by a Lionce Meadow.

He does a tremendous job as a part of the broadcast teams of the New York Giants along with the Columbia Lions, both on the men's and women's side of things. Right here on cashing out on Visa d Sports Bank Network, and then on the flip side of things, we've got the AFC title game. It's going to be a fun one between the Chiefs and the Bills. And I know that there's one prop in particular that you like for Josh Allen and it's not necessarily through the air. So take me through all you think that this game is going to be playing out and what you're expecting from Josh Allen on Sunday, Well.

One that you're referring to is Josh Allen forty nine and a half rushing yards and I like the over on this, and mainly because of the track record that he's had against Kansas City. In each of the last three games, he's run for at least sixty eight And I think he's got to look at this through the lens greg of Steve Spagnolo, their defensive coordinator. What is he known for two things? Number one is very aggressive in showcasing the blitz. Number two, a lot of man to me and coverage. Well, why does that play right into the hands of Josh Allen as a runner. If they're going to be over aggressive coming after the quarterback and there's a lot of man on man coverage down the field, Josh Allen should have running lanes in this game. And remember he had that nice run to help steal the game for Buffalo in the regular season. Not to say that there's so much to read into regular season football versus postseason football, but Staggs is not going to all of a sudden start to abandon his philosophy as an aggressive defensive coordinator, so that I think you can rely on heavily. And that means that Allen getting into the ballpark of even fifty rushing yards at bare minimum, should not be asking for much as far as the flow of the game. Number One, you could tell me all you want about how the Bills have done against the Chiefs of the regular season. At the end of the day, it's irrelevant why this is playoff football and what has happened to each of the last three meetings when we've been in the playoffs, it's been Kansas City that has been victorious. So I don't put a whole lot of stock into Buffalo hanging around with Kansas City. I think you look at this Kansas City defense. This was a top five unit all regular season. This was a unit that shut down the Houston Texans offense got after CJ. Stroud eight sacks limited their big playmaking ability if you remove Greg the Broncos game in Week eighteenth, and that didn't really do anything for anybody, given the fact that the Chiefs rested all their starughters. The Buffalo Bills were the only team to get to thirty this season. And something tells me, you give spags now a second opportunity against that Bills offense, that he's going to have some tricks up his sleeves to contain Josh Allen and company and limit their explosiveness. And that means that if you're Spags, I think he's going to basically tell Josh Allen and company, you go ahead and march down the field ten plays eighty five yards, twelve plays ninety five yards, go ahead, see if he can do that. And they may have success here or there, but you know what's going to happen. They're going to get penalties. Something negative is going to happen. That's what we see across the NFL landscape. And I like Kansas City being able to capitalize on those mistakes. I like them getting buffalo in a third and long here or there, and Chris Jones, George Carlasts, those two big boys up front should do enough to do damage against the Bills front seven, or I should say, the offensive line that at the end of the day, that'll be enough for Patrick Mahomes and company to keep their head above water and win a game, which they've been doing all season by a close margin.

Yeah, I'm right there with you, Lance, I'm thinking the same way, and Lance, you're doing tremendous work.

Always do appreciate it. Thank you so much, Hey.

Thanks for having me on greatly appreciate it.

Greatly appreciate you, Lance, And coming next, we have to take a look at some of the coaching guyers that we've seen in the NFL and give some of the good, bad, and integet different takes from those next right here on Cashing Out on Visa Esports Bank, Nework.

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

We're back, You're on Cashing Out on VSON the Sports Banking Network. Was great to be joined by our last two guests, Christian McCoy, former running back of the Kansasate Chiefs and Lions Metal It does a great job over with the New York Giants. Couple with that the Columbia Lions both their men's and women's basketball team some good fun there was trying to be able to get to Lance about this a little bit more, but we'll do it here because we are trying to get this in and hour number one. But we've seen a lot of different coaching hires right now, you still have one vacancy out there in the NFL, and I know that there's a lot of hoopla with regards to which teams hired well which teams did not hire so well.

But here's what we know right now.

Obviously, with the Chicago Bears, everyone pretty much viewed this man as the biggest prize with regards to the NFL coaches. Ben Johnson, they land him good on them, and then for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and just a convoluted, just sort of a circular way. They were trying to keep Trent Bulky. They realized they couldn't hire on a coach with Trent Bulk. They fired Trent Bulky and then Liam Cohen. He goes on over from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He takes that vacancy we just saw over the last forty eight or so hours. Pete Carroll he becomes a coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. Obviously, Mike Rabel he lands with the New England Patriots. Aaron Glenn, former defensive player for the New York Jets, he lands with them. And then he saw Brian seoan Armer go on over to the Dallas Cowboys. Right now, as I was alluding to the New Orleans Saints, they are still having their coaching vacancy available. Personally, for me, if I were to name a guy that I think takes that job. I think that this could be the landing spot for Mike McCarthy personally, but we shall see on that front. That is not something I'd be wagering actual dollars on personally, but we shall see what is going to be happening there. But there has been so much buzz right now about what the Dallas Cowboys did they hire on Brian Schottneimer right now, this is what is getting all the attention. And let me say this, Do I think that this is an inspire inspiring higher.

No, like, not at all.

There's nobody that says, yes, we got Brian Schottenheimer, baby, nobody else was gonna nobody else, Everyone wanted them and everything like that. No, nobody says that could it be the higher that works out? Though that's a little bit TVD. Now, I'm not going to be the person that says that this is the worst hire of all time before we see the guy actually coach.

This could actually be a good hire.

The thing is, this could once again have the Dallas Cowboys right back where they were this past year, just barely below five hundred, being very mediocre. Because when it comes to coaching hires, we all like to react to them just the day after they happen, and we'd like to think, Oh, this team got it right, this team got it wrong. This team is a little bit of indifference. Like if you were to grade the coaches from an A to and F right now, you'd give the Chicago Bears an hey because they get the flashy name.

And Ben Johnson.

We've seen what he's done with the Detroit Lions over the last few years, and we know how much many different teams have wanted him. If you were to give out your F, it would go to the Dallas Cowboys because there weren't a lot of teams that were interviewing Brian Schaannheimer. He was the guy that was in house, has ever been a coach before, feels very much like it's not going to be really riling up the fans. So that's the person that you have in f And then your B minus would be if like the New Orleans Saints I was starting out there, Mike McCarthy, he's like your classic B right there. It's something where it's going to be rock solid. He's not going to probably take you over the top. He's sort of like what Book Showalter is in terms of Major League Baseball book Showalter every single time he has a different stop, whatever team he's on, he elevates them a little bit more, but can't necessarily take them to the promise lane that is Mike McCarthy. And if you're the New Orleans Saints, after what you saw last year, I think that you'd very much like to be able to Pavilion a little bit more, even if that means a you're a bring on a new coach to be able to get you over the top. I think that you would take that much more than the calamity that we saw after the first two games of the season. But I do think that with regards to coaching Irons as well, it's just one of these things where it's a little bit overreactionary. Now, the one hire that I just take a look at across the board, I think that this is going to work. This is the one where I just feel like it's rock solid. It's exactly what the organization needed. It's a new England Patriots because you get a new England guy in Mike Frable, and Mike Frable, let's not get it twisted right here. The Titans were absolutely moronic for what they did in terms of firing Mike Frable, like that guy Drake that team with Ryan Tannhill to a one seed in the AFC and they decide, oh, we can do better. And the fact that the Titans honestly didn't go one and done with their coaching situation this year with Callahan, that was a little bit surprising because they massively downgraded. Like that was the one thing where last year, because you had all that coaching news that came in at the same time, you had Nick Saban stepping down over at Alabama, you had a Pete Carroll out at Seattle, you had all these different things. Bill Belichick no longer head coach in the NFL, what have you. And I mean, the one thing that really got lost in the shuffle was the fact that the Tennessee Titans, in my opinion, made one of the most brain dead moves I've seen an organization make. Like I recognize that maybe Mike Vrabel was a little bit hard on the organization what have you, boohoo, But I mean, this is a guy that has gotten results. He's a hard nosed guy that knows what it takes to win in the NFL. Like that, I feel is a stone cold, really good higher for the New England Patriots. Albeit they should have given draw to Mayo a little bit more than a year. You feel a little bit salty about that. It was just a strange short of circumstance that they had right there. If you're going to go on on draw Mayo, you have to realize, hey, your number one is not going to be so great. And this is probably the higher that they should have made the last offseason. But I apparently there was something in place where Drawd Mayo was the coaching waiting and when Bill Belichick you got the boot, well, they hired on Drawd Mayo.

So that was a big thing that happened there.

But in a roundabout way, it took them a little bit more than a year longer than it expected. But I do think that they landed on a very good hire. I do think that this is going to work out for the New England Patriots. What else works out is taking your betting to the next level by playing with the ponies on first bet from Santa Anita all the way to the Gulf Stream Park and to the Kentucky Derby everywhere in between as well. First bet, has he covered sign up over on first bet dot com that is the number one st bet dot com. And etilize the promo code of Visa two hundred that is VSI in two zero zero. That'll get you a twenty percent of rebate for your first sixty days up to two hundred dollars over at first bet dot com. And we are taking a look at these coaching areas right here on cashing out on Visa d Sportsbank Network. And I do think that when it was all said and done, I know that there's a lot of people that they like to buzz about these coaches what have you. But I sometimes these big time coaches that we hear about in the off season, these quarterback whispers, what have you, they don't necessarily work out too. And I would say be a little bit cautious when we view some of these coaching ires as to whether or not they're going to be good or if they're going to be bad. Like I know that there were a lot of people that slammed the Detroit Lions many years ago when they hired on Dan Campbell. I still think that Dan Campbell sometimes makes some moves that make me scratch my head a little bit. But obviously has turned around the culture out there with the Detroit Lions that has turned out to be a tremendous higher that has been able to turn them around as well.

And I do think.

That well, a lot of people they are going to slam the Brian Schottenheimer are Bryan Schottenheimer higher and some mouthful to say the least. But I said, well, they do slam that a little bit more, and I would say, rightfully so. Could the Dallas Cowboys have gotten a better candidate on paper? Absolute lutely they could have. If the Dallas Cowboys go fourteen and three this year, though, and if they're able to actually get into the playoffs and make a little bit of a run in the playoffs, I think that that's a big key because the Cowboys, I believe, have the longest drought of any team of the NFC in terms of not making the NFC title game, which I find to be stunning. Like for the Dallas Cowboys, the team that was the dynasty of the nineties, as we know, Jerry, he was able to make the bold moves, be able to hire on all these coaches he moved on from Tom Landry. What have you for him to go here to hiring on Brian Shan him right, I think is very surprising. But and if this guy knows how to coach and Jerry Jones is going to look like a genius.

So I think that that's going to work out. No that I no, I do not.

But at the same time, I do think that there's a more than zero percent chance that it does. And if it does, he's going to take all the credit. And that's exactly what Jerry wants. Jerry wants the Dallas Cowboys to be in the news and he wants all the credit for it, and he wants it. I don't know if it's in that order. I don't know if he wants the team to have more credit rather than or wants more credit for the wins rather than just being out there in the headlines whatever, because he seems to love both equally. It's like if he had two children, which one does he like more getting credit or being out there in the headlines, not necessarily for winning, but just being an entertainment product in general. That's an interesting question, and I think that Jerry Jones would just get an answer of yes on that. But I mean, man, that's an interesting hire. To say the least. And when it comes to the Raiders, I actually feel like they got it right here with regards to their higher being able to bring on a guy that yeah, I mean, are we taking a look at someone in Pete Carroll that's a little bit older. Absolutely, But for one, he's got familiarity with the area, Like Los Angeles is only about three hours away from lovely Las Vegas, so I'm sure that when he was over there at USC Sometimes you make some road trips over here. But that said, with regards to the Las Vegas Raiders trying to be able to put themselves in a good position, they're probably going to be drafting a quarterback because you can't stick with the quarterback situation that you've got.

I think that it's big.

And now you've got Tom Brady at the helm doing a lot of the decision making, being able to steer this director, steer this franchise in a direction that he wants him to. I feel like this was a really good hire, Like, is Pete Carroll going to be that guy that's going to be there for a decade plus? Most likely not? Is it impossible that he does. I mean, this is a guy that he's north of seventy years old. He's the oldest higher in the But I need still have said just youthful exuberance about them, I think is a proper way of putting it. And that's exactly what you need to be a coach in the NFL, and he certainly does have that. But I do think that this is something that is going to be working out for the Raiders. I think that they're going to be operating quite a bit more differently now than they have in the past few seasons. I think that this is a newd On and a new day for the Raiders. We shall see what they're going to be doing in the NFL draft, but I did like that hire as well, and it's going to be interesting to see what we get out of the New Orleans Saints. They're the last one to come off the board, and certainly I think that they're going to be taking a look at some of the coordinators that we've got that are going to be playing in the NFC and AFC title game, and hey, we have to talk about that next because we've got ourselves two massive games in the NFL. I have to give you guys some bets and I have to give you guys some thoughts about the AFC and NFC side of things. Next right here on cash Out on vicent Esports Bank Network.

Welcome back to cashing out here on fisand the Sports Bening Network.

We're backing your cashing out. I'm vicent d Sports Banking Network. We've got ourselves a lot of fun that's coming up here in the next few weeks. As the Super Bowl matchup is going to be set within the next twenty four hours, we've got two tremendous games leading up to it. We have to break those down. Are now in that time of year where things are starting to shift to college basketball, We're starting to shift our attention to the Super Bowl, one of my favorite years times a year in general.

So we've got a lot to break down.

So how about if we do take a look at what we're going to be getting in the NFC and the AFC title game. Is these spreads they've been holding relatively SETI over the last twenty four or sour hours. Right now with the Washington Commanders, they're a six point underdog in most spots against Philledolf Eagles that totals between forty seven to forty seven a half and right now total is about forty eight and a half in that Bills versus Chiefs game, with right now the Chiefs holding SETI has a one and a half to a two point favorite.

And when I.

Look at both of these games, I do think that there might be a little bit of, shall we say, a lack of fireworks in terms of both of these games. I actually do like both of them under and if I'm taking a look at the spreads in both of them with the Washington Commanders, I lean a little bit more towards them. But I was mentioning this in hour number one. It's the good old saying, you don't go broke taking a profit, you want to take something that's tried and true. I just cannot go away from the Kanca Chiefs out of everything that I'm seeing with regards to the NFC and AFC title games, just being able to bank on the Chiefs being able to win this game, win this game by a field goal, that just very much appeals to me. Like right now I'm seeing a few one and a half's on the board with the Kanca Chiefs as well. And obviously there's some circumstances where you could see a game land on one but feel pretty good that the Chiefs should be able to get the job done in this spot. Now, again, it's one of those things that I've been doing all season long. When the Chiefs have been north of a touchdown favorite, I want no part of the kanca Chiefs get that number less than three, you feel very good about it because this is a Chief team that they just continue to do it time and time again, and I believe that there is something more than luck that is involved with it.

Now, did they get a.

Little bit lucky during the season and should they have gotten less than a fifteen to two record. Absolutely, Like you can call it what it is, a botch snap against the Las Vegas Raiders. That's one of those things where it's like, Okay, I think that we can conclude that that one was a little bit lucky. I don't care who you are. Like in high school football, you typically don't see a botch snap like that. So I do think that that's one of those where it's like, okay, we can conclude there. But at the same time, this is a team that they just execute time and time again. They make that one more play than the opponent, and that's really been a little bit of an issue for the Buffalo Bills. We have seen the Buffalo Bills get into the spot and they've knocked off the Chiefs before in the regular season, but the regular season and the postseason are two completely different animals, and for the Buffalo Bills, this has just not been a team been able to get over the top.

Now.

I do think that with the Buffalo Bills, this is a little bit of a different team, and I think that, honestly, this is a team that is a little bit more built to be able to win this game than they were just a few short years ago when at Sefon Diggs in company, because now they are based a little bit more on the ground game. Now when the weather is a little bit colder, they're able to function a little bit more with their traditional offense rather than when they were operating more when they were a few years ago, having Sefon Diggs in company, it almost felt like it was more of a West Coast team slash a team that you would envision playing in a little bit of a warmer climate. Now they're playing a little bit more to what they typically have in terms of climate, and I think that that's big for Josh Allen, a guy that obviously played as college football over there at Wyoming, and he's just been razor efficient here in the postseason. In the postseason thirty six and forty eight. I think that that's going to be the big key for the Buffalo Bills. I think that the key number in this game for Josh Allen is going to be twenty five. And by that I mean if he throws twenty five pass attempts or less, I think that the Buffalo Bill's probably we win this game. If they need him to throw more than twenty five times. I actually think that they lose this game in this case. I actually think that less is more when it comes to Josh Allen. I know that Lions Meadow, who came on a little bit earlier on, he was talking about Josh Allen over his rush yards. I honestly think that would be a good thing for the Buffalo Bills as well, keeping things on the ground, having him be able to have some design quarterback runs, being able to keep it out of the air, just making sure that he doesn't make the mistakes I think is very big. And this is the way that I view it as well, because I did take the Chiefs in this spot. Also took Josh Allen to be able to throw an interception in this game right now, you're finding that right around about even money minus one oh five. I do think that is a big key for this game as well, because with Josh Allen, we do see him get into a little bit more of shall we say, gunslinger mode when it comes to just these big time critical spots. Now, Josh Allen has been able to do a good job of really averting from that here in the season. Joe Brady has done a really good job of just being able to, for lack of a better term, simplify the offense. But what happens if the Bills are down a score with two three minutes remaining, what version of Josh Allen are we going to be seeing. I do think that the kanc Chiefs are just going to do a nice job being able to execute their game. They're just such a rock solid defense. With having Jones and company upfront, I do think that it's going to put this Buffalo bill team under dress. I think that's all about swallowing up the ground game, being able to push the Buffalo bills outside of shall we say, their norm and their happy places.

I think that they're going to be able to do so.

So I'm looking at the Chiefs in this spot, I said, do you like the under And right now, with regards to the main props I'm liking in this game, I do like Josh Allen to throw an interception. But right now, with regards to both of these players as well, I do like under their passing yards. With Patrick Malmes, we're going to be finding that more in that neighbor about two fifty six and a half somewhere in that neighborhood. For Josh Allen, it's more around about two thirty one a half. But I do think that this is going to be a game of which both of these teams are going to look to try to keep it on the ground just a little bit more, try to simplify things. So we're going to be rolling with that Josh Allen to throw an interception under on both of the passing yards of both of these quarterbacks. And I do like the Chiefs minus one and a half minus two as long as you're able to get in anywhere below minus three.

Do like the KNC Chiefs in this spot.

And what else I like is that in sports and in trading, understanding the probabilities it is an ultimate game changer and unlocking the secrets that is a big key to it.

As we do have the other game to take a look out right here on cashing out on Visa d Sports Bank network. With regards to Commanders versus Eagles, and this is a game that is a little bit more shall we say interesting to say the leads because with the Washington Commanders, this is the unexpected team. You've got a rookie quarterback making it here for the first time in a very long time, Like my wonderful producer Johnny he was able to set this up for me. Rookie quarterbacks that have made it to the NFC title Game, obviously the most most recent one that was Brock Purty a few seasons ago. How that game works out if it weren't for the fact that you have all those injuries with the forty nine ers, including brock Purty himself going down, that's unknown.

But and that means that for the second time in three years.

You've got the Philadelphi Eagles going up against a rookie quarterback in the NFC Title Game.

Like that is just a run of really good look right there.

But in this case, I don't think it's as lucky because Jade Daniels, he has been carrying this team, like when brock Party was able to make it to the NFC Title Game with forty nine Ers. Not to say that he was a complete nothing burger for the team that would be going too far, but let's call it what it is. He had less involvement of the forty nine ers being able to make it to the NFC Title Game rather than jayde and Daniels. And I mean you could say the same for all these quarterbacks. Like before then it was Mark Sanchez for a two thousand and the New York Jets who was able to lead the team to the title game against the I believe it was at the time they faced off against the Indianapolis Colts, because I think they went up against the Patriots a year or two later. But he led them to that game against the Colts, saying, I have Mark Sanchez that year threw more interceptions than he did touchdown, so he didn't do a lot for them. When Joe Flacco was able to take the Ravens to the title game against the Steelers as a rookie, he was coming into his own, but he wasn't a dominant passer Ben Roethlisberger, he was very much handing the ball off in two thousand and four when the Steelers made it to the title game. And Sean King in nineteen ninety nine with the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I remember that Buccaneers defense. They were very, very good with Warren Sapping company. So I do think that is interesting that Jayden Daniels, out of all these rookie quarterbacks, I would say that he by far had the biggest hand to play in terms of the Commanders being able to get here because with the Washington Commanders, this was looked as one of the most functional franchises in all football.

Like this team was a mess.

Nobody wanted to go to the Washington Commanders unless if you were obviously paying them quite well, if you were going to be paying over market value, you know what, I might be willing to play for the Washington Commanders because they were dealing with a bad ownership situation. I know they've been looking at like a new stadium and everything like that as well. Now everything just feels good with the Washington Commanders based on the one pick that they made, being able to bring in Jayden Daniels. He has completely change of fortunes of this team. For those that are Washington sports fans, well, I feel good for you because you guys deserve happiness in your life. So hopefully you're enjoying this and I think that it continues here. With regards of being able to cover the spread, I don't know if they can pull this game out right against the Philadelphia Eagles. These two teams split during the regular season, and the game that the Washington Commanders won, we have to call what it is. They were going up against Kenny Pickett in that game, and there was a little bit of fear that the Eagles fight have Kenny Pickett for this game. But does feel like Jalen Hurts should be all good to go with regards to the injuries that he's been going through. But I think for Jalen Hurts, how close one hundred percent is he going to be because he in the first two playoff games just did not necessarily look like himself a little bit rossie. He's going through the concussion, he was then going through a little bit of I believe he's been going through more like lower body injuries at this point as well. There's a little bit of question mark. And Jayden Daniels right now looks like one of the best and most explosive players in all football. So I do think that having the most explosive player in football, having a coach and Dan Quinn, that you know that he relishes this opportunity to be able to get back after what we saw with the Atlanta Focus many many years ago. I hate to bring it up, but the old twenty eight to three game and everything like that, you have to feel like he's going to want to do everything possible to a TomEE for that and sansap Plunder has been pretty good in big time spots. So right now I'm looking at the points with the commanders, and again, do you think that this is going to be a defense oriented battle dude like the under End. Coming next, we're going to be taking a little bit more look at the NFC NAFC title games right your odvisent D Sports Banking Network
