| 0:00.0 | Washington's over-under number in Vegas is seven and a half. |
| 0:04.3 | By the way, it's costly to bet the over in most spots. |
| 0:08.7 | So the lean there is if the number we're going to change, it would go higher, not lower. |
| 0:14.4 | But whatever, it's seven and a half. |
| 0:17.9 | That's in the bottom third of over- under totals in the league. And there's |
| 0:23.1 | plenty of national skepticism regarding a turnaround season after five and 12 last year. |
| 0:30.5 | Why do you think that is? 301-230980. Anthony, do you have a reason for why there's so much doubt about this team entering 2026? |
| 0:43.4 | I mean, I think a lot of it revolves around Jane and Danes and his inability, I guess, last year to stay healthy. |
| 0:51.2 | And then also when you look at the offensive side of the ball, I just don't think people believe |
| 0:57.8 | we're as talented as some of these other teams. And also defensively, I think if you look at the |

| 1:19.6 | Yeah. By the way, I couldn't care less about what people on the outside think. I'm just interested in it. And I think it's a way to talk about the team right now and next season, |
| 1:32.1 | rather than talking about whether Antonio Williams is going to play more on the outside |
| 1:37.7 | or more on the inside. |
| 1:39.5 | I do think that that narrative about this team is there. |
| 1:44.4 | I do think it's real. |
| 1:45.7 | It's not just the odds makers. |
| 1:48.4 | It is plenty of people out there because, again, all of these all too early power rankings |
| 1:55.2 | have the team in the back half of the league, and really in some some instances the bottom third of the league. |
| 2:02.3 | So I think it's twofold, as I said prior to the break. |
| 2:06.2 | I think number one is there is some laziness attached to sort of the prep work for, you know, |
