So Chiefs three, 47 and a half.

0:41.1

All our bets for that game will close the show 40 minutes from now.

But for right now, right now, we continue on with Week 1 NFL Sunday.

0:49.6

Kenny, please once again drop the Mario music.

0:51.9

And Femi, let's now give our opinions on the Jaguars of the Panthers. Where Jacksonville, in between a three and a three and a half point favorite, the number at MGM is three and a half. It's used towards Carolina. The total in the game now sitting at a full 47. Yeah, I think this betting market right now, the side at least is right or at least as right as it can be for a week one.

1:28.5

I think that one of that three or under three, that was the time to bet Jacksonville. Now I think we can just hang out. So I'm not going to be betting the side. The total, I thought I was going to be on the over, but I've since backed off because I actually have some issues with Carolina. like i don't with ic with Ikea Kwondo now out, like, can this team pass protect?

1:27.0

I'm a little bit shaky on Carolina, so I'm going to pass the game, but this is going to be our survivor play here on You Better, you bet, so I will be sweating the hell out of this game. It will be getting main TV-type treatment as we'll be watching this Jacksonville Jaguars team in Duvall. Yeah, I, you know I love the Jaguars this year.

2:17.7

Bet them to win the AFC South. Liam Cohen is my bet and my choice for coach of the year. I think Travis Hunter is going to have a huge year. My pick for offensive rookie of the year. Love me some BTJ. Love Bayshell Toot and think he'll eventually be their number one running back. I think this is a problematic matchup for Bryce Young in this game. If Iki Akwondo is not going to go and we don't think he's going to. I think Trevor Lawrence is going to rip this defense up. Now, Femmy's right. Like the time to bet Jacksonville, and we talked about it at the time, was when they were minus two and a half. I still like Jacksonville, though. I would lay three, put them in money-line parlays,

2:20.9

and I bet Jacksonville's team total over the other day, 23 and a half,

2:24.2

and I laid some juice to do it.

2:26.2

That was my decision.

2:27.4

But I love the Jaguars here.

2:28.9

We'll certainly have some player props for this game on Sunday.

2:32.7

Moving on to the Battle for Ohio, Bengals and the Browns in Cleveland, where Cincinnati is about a five-point road favorite. Total is getting bet up. It looks like it may go up to 48, currently sitting in 47 and a half. We thought Miles Garrett might be on this injury report, Femi. He is not. He is off the injury report and good to go for the Browns and the

2:50.8

Bengals on Sunday in Cleveland. Yeah, this one's kind of gotten away from me. Like I missed out when it was six. I think I was actually in Kabul when all the sixes got bet, so I was not able to bet this one. But now we're sitting here at five at most places. Bet MGM still has five and at but five is a consensus number uh the total at 48 no interest there i would try to find ways to
