Alright, someone we couldn't picture rolling yesterday because Brutal Sports Month round. Brutal. Now it's starting to affect your sports center picks.

Oh yeah, yesterday was the worst NFL day. I've had in a long, long time. Everything across the board. You were on fire on sports center. You were six and out. You're last two weeks. And then Rathusburg is foot.

First of all, I can't believe that was only a spring foot. I thought they were going to have to like amputate it. It went in a direction that I'm positive feet aren't supposed to go. Yeah, it looked way worse. It looked way worse. I don't know how he does it.

He comes out of these things like, he might miss a game or two, but it looked terrible. And not as terrible as the Raiders defense, but pretty bad. I mean, I had the Steelers minus. I gave it out minus four and a half. And then it went to six. And it was like, oh man.

You know, one like now I know how like women feel like when someone else dresses like them in a wedding. They're like, oh, that's things like, well, what's the big deal? Who cares? Like, no, everyone's been the Steelers. And now it's going to lose. I'm not the they're not going to win straight up. But for crying out loud. And the Angelo Williams getting stopped at the one.

Forget about your first HBO documentary being about Andre the giant you need to go on. It's not true. It's not true. But either way, the 2015 point shaving scandal led by the Angelo Williams should be first and foremost on the list.

Very mysterious shifted the ball from his left to his right hand and then seemed totally comfortable just going out of bounds. So just putting his shoulder down and scoring a touch. Yeah. And who else was comfortable? The Steelers were comfortable with not reviewing it. Like, I guess it should be reviewed automatically. But I'm not positive. He didn't get in anyway. And they were okay with kicking a feel goal.

Even though they're kicker, just miss. But yeah, that was that was a brutal spread loss. Well, in Vegas finally did well yesterday. They did. Yeah, some yet some underdogs winning outright with some fairly sizable spreads like the Titans one. Right. Who else? The the Niners? Well, 80% of the money bet on games was on the Falcons Packers and Broncos. All losers.

You know what I noticed? I had a realization yesterday. The lines have kind of settled at weird numbers this year. You know, like the Giants Tampa line settled at two. Yeah, right. You rarely see like the two point line. Yeah. And you rarely see like the five point line. I think what's happened is with these extra points.

And the two points and the missed extra points and all this. You're getting these wonky scores now. You're getting these 21 to 18 and right. You know, the Giants are up to nine minutes ago. They're up 20 to 18. Whatever that was. Yeah.

And I think Vegas is now fighting in the Gamblers tour. They're now fighting over every half point. And the old days it was like it's either pick them or three. It might end up at two and a half. Yeah.

Five is the new four. Like we used to call it. We called the Vegas on you made that. Three three and a half for two and a half three and three and a half for four. And then we're going to the Vegas zone. Then we get to six. Yeah. But now it's like it just doesn't matter. They're like the lines of line. We think this team is five points better and the line is five. Yeah. 2318 is a common final score now. I don't know if I like it. I don't like it.

I missed that stability of knowing all that. You know, they remember you big by and they're going to win 27 20. They're going to win 23 to 17. And it was all these static numbers. And now it's like every numbers in play.

Well, also the coaching seems to be worse than ever. And not really bad. One to go for two or one to go for a field goal or a touchdown. I think maybe that's way down to these lines.

It was really bad yesterday and capped off with Atlanta doing something that came out of like 1985. They're down four or three minutes left. They're in the two yard line.

And they kick a field goal. They had two time outs left. Yeah. The other option was just trying to score a touchdown. And if you don't get it, playing

Gavart's on the two yard line with his four string running back and his third string tight end. And I mean, they weren't they weren't going to get a first down on the two yard line. What are you doing? So Dan Quinn says it's a joke.
