0:00.0	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge.
0:12.5	My name is Cia Najad, and we've got a great show for you today.
0:16.2	Of course, we're sponsored by BEDMGM, the sports book born in Vegas.
0:20.4	We are Sean Taylor days away from NFL season.
0:24.5	Put your favorite number 21 in the chat.
0:27.5	I've got a favorite recap screen to show you.
0:29.1	Let's see how we did yesterday, courtesy of Calvin A-Mags in our sports line pick.
0:34.4	I told you it was a shorter slate of picks yesterday. We've got plenty
0:39.0	more picks for you today, but we go three and no. Calvin hits his, Amags hits his, and the Brewers

1:16.2	say 10 in the morning, you gave out a Seattle Seahawks pick and around 1030, 11 o'clock, things changed.
1:22.6	Can you explain? Yeah, well, I gave out Seattle plus three in the Discord around midnight on Tuesday and said,
1:29.7	going to talk about it Wednesday morning. And it was still plus three a DK during the show,
1:34.5	Friday night hosting the Chiefs. And then about an hour after the show, all of a sudden,
1:39.4	it moved six points. Now, I didn't move the line. Andy Reid moved the line. It was very fortunate. He came out
