Bills & Rams Expectations (Hour 1)

The boys in your Studios of CBS sports radio here in beautiful New York City sitting on top of the 10th floor 345 Hudson St. welcome morning to a Thursday edition of the Zach Gelb show our preview of the NFL season with the game happening in about two hours and 20 minutes as the world champions will start their season right where it ended at Sophia Stadium is the LA Rams will be hosting a team that is Super Bowl aspirations in the Buffalo Bills welcome on and across all the great local CBS sports radio affiliate Sirius XM channel 158 and that free Odyssey at bay. 552124 CBS summer jump on in 855-212-4227 could always get at me on Instagram I'm straight, flexing, or the Google cesspool twitter at Zach till that's Z ACH GE LBM are coming to live from the rocket mortgage Studios whether you look at purchasing a home refinance yours. Rocket mortgage could help you get there from on solutions that fit your life well rocket can imprison extravaganza for the next four hours is no other then take a key on it is the official start of the football season and one thing determines the official start of the football season when you have wings and that's what transpired right before the start of the show of her friends down the hall at WFAN had some beautiful wings catered in Buffalo wings garlic Parmesan wings and they also had pepperoni garlic knots there is nothing like devouring wings and then getting ready to watch football. And that's the beautiful part of this game that we love eating food and then watching all the chaos unfold in front of us and it starts tonight.

Football is a current 65 day sport now. The way that we talk about it the way that we cover it.

But there is nothing like the Ron that working to get ready to embark on for the next four or five months were Saturday you have a loaded college slate Sunday. You always have a load NFL slate and then the end the week off on Monday night with Monday Night Football.

There's nothing like this when you go to this routine of Tuesday and Wednesday reaction Thursday football Friday some college Saturday college Sunday all NFL and then one final game on Monday night and when I look at the game tonight.

Both of these teams are fascinating to me because there's big expectations for the Rams it Super Bowl. Her boss, but I always think when you hear the word boss. It usually is associated with failure. If the Rams don't win the Super Bowl this year. Yes, they failed.

Yes, they do not accomplish their goal. But there's different levels of failure. If the bill since they've never won a Super Bowl before and they been knocking on the door for the last 23 years and they have their quarterback in Josh Allen. If they don't win it all this year as they are the overwhelming favorite to do so. There's no way to talk this season into being a success and Brandon being there general manager. He joined us right after the draft and he refused to say that this was a Super Bowl about season. He said he would never define his team. That way, and I said to him, with all due respect and I like Brenda been a lot asked Dr. this morning that this is Super Bowl her boss for the Buffalo Bills.

I don't care what you say I don't care how you spend it with the way that they perform last two years getting to the AFC title game in last year losing again. That was an instant classic in the divisional round where they gave Kansas City all that they can handle and should've won the game. It's now time because there's a lot of times where you see a team and they lose in a big spot and you go all they'll be back or all their time is coming in Buffalo right now is in that stage of they'll be back in their time is now you would expect the bills to be a force to be reckoned with for the next decade. You just don't know what the teams go look like a few years from now even though you feel really damn good about the quarterback and you have the quarterback tied up to a long-term contract. This way Kansas City when they won their first Super Bowl III years ago you would've thought by now that Kansas City would have another ring we talked about dynasties when the Chiefs one that Super Bowl up against San Francisco and of the fourth quarter come back every year when someone wins a Super Bowl, but the word gets thrown around dynasty for 99% of the teams though.

It's not believable you don't actually realistically think there to become a dynasty for Kansas City. You thought they were to become a dynasty. Now they have been bad.

The following year they got to the Super Bowl.

They lost the Tampa Bay and Tom Brady. The after that they were on their way to another Super Bowl and then Patrick. The homes of the first time in his career look like a bad quarterback with the blunder right before halftime and the bangles just stopping him and shutting them out in the second half and and that over time where he almost repacked and then did tropic you look at this LA Rams team. They do have a feel like they're a team that can repeat not get a sitter and tell you there to become a dynasty at the LA Rams on the Super Bowl this year. I can sitter and act like I'm shocked because that team has Matthew Stafford now in your number two with the Rams have maybe the best wide receiver in the sport and Cooper cup if you want to take the Montanans of you want to just in Jefferson you can. They have a defense with one of the greatest defensive players of all time in our Donald you just added Bobby Wagner's still has a few years left in the sleep you have Jaelyn Ramsey who the top 15 top 20 player in the NFL. The top 100 list. He was put in at number nine and you have a young coach who enters first five years the league has been to do super balls and is done master. And when everyone heard of his hiring. They said, man, how is a young coach like that in his 30s ghetto leader locker room of man and that has been a problem.

I love this match of the night, the NFL schedule makers did a fantastic job giving us this gem of the game for week one yelled the high-octane offense that the game tonight.

Allen up again Stafford digs up against caught Dawson Knox is a really good underrated tight end in this league.

I love Gabriel Davis as well you get the debut of Alan Robinson, Rams uniform and defensively we know how great the Rams could be. We saw Arun Donald with the Super Bowl on the line a few months ago in February itself. I stated again that I was at run right through that bangles offense of wine on third down and then throw Job around like a ragdoll on fourth down for the Buffalo Bills gesture with Dr. Davis white for at least the first four games of the season you bring in Yvonne Miller, Von Miller brings you Super Bowl experience legit Super Bowl experience playing into super Bowls, winning to one with Denver one with the LA a Super Bowl MVP and you look at that defense. Yes, they were number one defense a season ago and Sean McDermott has done a remarkable job as the HC of the Buffalo Bills without many times over supply.

Also, once they got the same to plasma to Rod Taylor and now he has the quarterback and it's not all just simply get to the playoffs. It's when the AFC it's get to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl, but that defense from what did transpire in the final game did put a damper on their season because that defense when you spot them a lead with 13 seconds to go. I don't care if it's my homes. I don't care if it's tiring kill at the time. I don't care for Travis Kelsey. I don't care than injuries that coach you needed to find a way to get that game over with and regulation, and we all know what happened.

The big plays the field-goal and then they lose in overtime when the coin toss did not go Buffalo's why and Kansas City move the ball right down the field and into the end zone before they would then go on to lose to the Cincinnati Bengals and the AFC title game so both of these teams.

If you had the asteroid. I was the best team in the AFC. It's Buffalo is the best team in the NFC, you probably go with the Rams, the AFC is so crowded though when you have teams like Buffalo you have teams like the bangles, the ravens, Tennessee.

The Colts all the teams in the AFC West.

If you want to throw teams in there like the Steelers the patriots of the dolphins and call them wildcard contenders. You can the AFC is good to be pretty tough to predict home-field advantage in the AFC this year. I think can potentially be enormous because you have a team like Buffalo and I was at that playoff game last year, up against the Pats. Imagine you get a by tenant to get to the Super Bowl get them into games in Buffalo. Your bills you have that that stadium new refill which I still call Ralph Olson stadium in Orchard Park. If you have the Baltimore opponent twice in the postseason. That stadium look to the opponent because that place is rocket that places cold. That place is awesome.

That's a party atmosphere so for Buffalo go get the number one seed this year and control your own destiny make the path travel through Orchard Park and for the Rams you look at this NFC. I can only see three teams down the Super Bowl from the NSA.

That's the LA Rams Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then also the Green Bay Packers even though they did lose about the Adams this off-season. Other than that deals with the end of the East. I don't view them as a Super Bowl contender. Cowboys are potential playoff team Vikings are potential playoff team you want of the saints of the Panthers as potential playoff teams be my guess. AFC West Cardinals without Hopkins with her sexy impulsive they could survive the 49ers on military alliances, debate in the 49ers are team a trailing stops, then maybe you can enter them into a team that will be in the Super Bowl conversation just because last year's or Jimmy garrotte below. They been in that conversation and the goal by bringing in Troy Lance was to take that next step, but this NFC until improving wrong or proven to provide my trust in another team.

I'm not good welcome anyone else into the party of potentially playing in Phoenix this year. Phoenix, Arizona for the Super Bowl on most of your names on the Rams. The Packers and also the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So for the Rams you have a window here. You have guys like Stafford, Donald getting up there in age group or cups been a stolid but see how many go when and for Buffalo it's trying to finally bring that Lombardi trophy to your loyal great fan base know it's weird line, patriots and I should not be rooting for the bills but the bills or a likable team, Josh Allen, likable quarterback Stefon digs heckuva wide receiver Dave Davis.

Phenomenal story.

I like Von Miller I like Micah Hyde I like Sean McDermott and maybe it's because I lived in Philadelphia and that did come at the expense of my team not winning another title but just see in the way that the fans who looked for a trophy for so many years and look to when that Super Bowl react. It was pretty cool to be a part of what I was doing post game in Philadelphia. After every Eagles game and a Buffalo fan base.

Reminds me a lot like the Philadelphia fan base. They been tortured for years they've come really close window. The bills went to portraits of balls lost Philadelphia went to two super Bowls, and loss and then finally they got there moment, but the bills are very likable. Team and a lot of people in as well as it bills the best team, but I can't really find many analysts who aren't picking the bills to win the Super Bowl.

I don't think that's a concern for me because they came out of nowhere and this was the year with a set big off-season and they did improve a lot you can say okay that would be a cause for concern since ever inspecting the maybe they get complacent since they been really good for last two years and they've had to go through the heartbreak. The last two years. That's why I don't think the expectation the hype is good to be too much for the Buffalo Bills. If they don't get to the Super Bowl though when the damn thing done their season will be disappointed and for the LA Rams. Once you win one. The standards always to win another one. But you take it because I think we have a sensational match up tonight. I know you like the Rams in this game, so to why it's bizarre to me when a team want to Super Bowl even though the bills are great that the Rams are an underdog in this game, so I did. Plus the 2 1/2 points and I think that the Rams are to win this game out right tonight and what's good to be a high-scoring game and I think should be back and forth in the Rams will pull it out late when you look at these two teams in the bills and the Rams were the first two things that come to mind individually for those two teams will the bills on his adversary's analysis is chronic, cutting through all that the nonsense and the time the talk and the hyphen is getting the job done for the Rams like org you look at their path back to the Super Bowl. Look at it see that they have and frankly disrespected. They've gotten this is one of the easiest if not maybe the easiest route back to the Super Bowl for defending check that I can remember in a very long time. Wait what you mean. The Rams been disrespected known to talk about. I wouldn't say that the Rams, like you know one and done counting people I see or are you know a high-end them in terms of no consensus going the super light of the bills of etiquette such as going to sue Roger sure to tougher AFC whales. Remember, people make predictions.

People like to just predict whoever the last champion was identified. I don't think anyone saying that the Rams are to miss the playoffs. I think most every prediction I read has the Rams were in the NFC West think it goes with was saying that if you had to go if you get people only three choices but it's her body NFC. I think every list would have Rams on you see how the picture actually go in the Rams way to go to surviving this is tailor-made for them. I wouldn't say it's this respect because everyone knows that ironbound's best defensive player in the sport. Last year Stafford and all the bouquets thrown at him when he had that postseason run Cooper cup could be one person at disrespected because there is still a hesitance from a lot of people to call the best wide receiver in the sport. Now you want to tell me gone down to the longer fine just in Jefferson. I had a great start to his first two years with Greg you know I love the guy, but the it does seem like there is some skepticism to anoint Cooper cup as the best wide receiver in the sport. Other than that McVeigh's got all his respect. He won the big game just got a contract extension less need as well. I would disagree with the respect part about the elements at either the bills and the Rams 855-2124 CBS April 5 212-4227. We will take a timeout. Talk about getting paid one college football coach got paid again want to talk about the expectations for his program. We continue in five minutes listening to the second Guild show that's right it is that guilt show on CBS sports radio. The NFL season kicks off in two hours let's go. We got the Buffalo Bills in the LA Rams, and I can't wait. How are you spending your Sunday.

By the way how to take a key a few programming notes here. I will be on every Sunday, every regular season Sunday in football season from 12 to 8 PM Eastern on CBS sports radio hosting ion football.

Each and every Sunday in the regular season from 12 to 8 PM Eastern into other things. Adding to my schedule. Ron WF and Z in Charlotte. One of our great affiliates, the legendary Mac attack morning show will be having me on as a weekly guest every Friday and football season.

If you want to tune in at 9:20 AM Eastern and then also if you have not heard yours truly up against Mraz in the mornings for NFL pics on the DA show I'll be giving you three pics each and every football Friday and will be keeping tabs up against Mraz if I lose at their Memorial day. Bob's bore show I will have to park your car if you show up in attendance while I'm dressed up as Matt rule. That's what they wanted to do in return. If I win, and Mraz loses, which that's going to happen. I guarantee it. Then Mraz is going to have to be a pig and it's going to be pin the tail on the pig where you will get to slap something on Mraz at the Memorial day. Bob's bar show so football Sundays.

Check me in the morning on WF and Z at 9:20 AM and tomorrow on Twitter early in the morning at Zach Gelb on the back so early morning we will put this out there by 11 AM. I will reveal who will be picking James up against me on football Fridays at 9:20 PM Eastern. Right here on CBS sports radio last two years we have gone with Gus Frerotte after how much I may just want to bang his head into a wall beating the living's not out of him and pics. We are now going to move on to someone else loved us on multiple times throughout the season will always connect with them. We love Gus Frerotte but we have picked someone else that has a big gambling background system big task for me and a big challenge to go up against me and NFL pics not to get you how you spending your Sundays in football season because that's what we really like to enjoy. I love doing ion football but there's nothing like getting some good food and watching the games and drink a few brews with the boys there, mostly on the couch with the Colts pod. Selfless plugged the blue horseshoe podcast for Nicole's friends out there will be doing instant reaction to every single game every Sunday, so that only will I be screaming my TV and hopefully which is many met right touch as a medical twins this year, then also talk about after the game. Otherwise, sit back from the feet up and just enjoying some hopefully good football this year and how can people get your podcast in the podcast one more time.

The blue horseshoe podcast were ever you get your podcasts including Odyssey Apple spot if I were ever you are aware podcast search where we are kind to make one quick comment sure and you know me, so I am so supportive of you.

I hope you get every opportunity possible advocate for you to get the weekend overnight show fill in for this show when I'm away and I was also thrilled when they said that you were to be hosting this podcast.

I think the name should be a work in progress.

The blue horseshoe at that name. It stalls not resonated with me. I thought it would marinate once you let it marinade I'd be okay with that blue horseshoe.

We could do better in the podcast but it's so easy to say, then say I should think of all the names it already been taken. Some of you know, legalities what you can use only gets is that easy everybody what you say no horsing around that's already to try to get Jim or stays private judge not only do a show last night being able to understand what the hell and try to say exactly if that's what you want it. That's what the Pike is looking for than will do it, but no meeting on the phone and elsewhere about the Pat McAfee get a lot of easy downloads that way.

So he sues us. I don't know. I think McAfee would be honored if you names of the podcast that if the Pat McAfee show but just drop the W search SHL for this cloisters possible to Pat McAfee shoe shoe in for the Colts pod body. Let's get to little Dabo, sweetie. He's agreed to a new contract. 10 years $115 million.

That's the extension through 2031. Did you see one specific clause in this contract. I guess it's a closet they've had in the contract before how take a key. The Alabama club.

Yes, I was not aware of this. On his last contract extension for 90 something million, but if he ever wants to go to a school that he walked onto and become their head coach AK be the guy to replace Nick Sabin the buyout to leave for Alabama is 1 1/2 times higher annually than it is for any other college. So that means two things. One constant has a really intelligent athletic department, and number two Dabo he could say he wants to be a constant all that stuff and that clauses in the contract and that was a big sticking point. There's a reason for it to be a big sticking point and that means Clemson. Those eventually when the time is appropriate. AK, Nick Sabin retires Dabo has to be interested.

Ryan and that Alabama job. You think you know it's close to two homers where you know your alma mater was you had that you know natural attraction to go back I mean like they can try to keep them out of those one of the half times whatever his bride is is going to really be the dealbreaker Ferris Kulik Alabama that will matter I would encourage it.

So it just Vargas and principal hey we want to keep it as bad as you can. That's the biggest threat, which makes sense on the healing for any else right now outside of Alabama but at your short, it's a real threat. The only thing is I said might outlive death it out and out coach you guys. No signs of slowing down doesn't want to retire anytime soon. Here's what I'll say to people always say you don't want to be the guy replacing the guy like I've had people tell me that in my career with a legendary radio host retires oh you don't want to be the guy replacing the guy you want to be the guy that's replacing the guy that's replacing the guy and I say BS that I get. It's tough, it's big shoes to fill. But if you can get that job and you get that opportunity. I don't think you waiting go all I don't want to be the guy that's replacing the guy that's just me before Dabo Sweeney with what he's accomplished in this book with the way that he's gone head-to-head toe to toe with Alabama. I think that's one of the rare exceptions, even without legendary Nick Sabin is worth. You go from Nick Sabin to Dabo Sweeney idling anyone get a sale.

Dabo can't handle what comes with Alabama can't handle being the guy that replaces the legendary figure in it in an accident habit, you know, I agree, especially when he is one of their own know it's very easy to get, you know, you know, nixie was in outset of any cane that's all this is our guy. Now he's ingratiate himself in the program and likely bring an outsider, especially someone is very different than Nick Sabin and is different from the success yet. It's very easy to turn on him, but he and when your welcoming what is one of your own back and so successful. Dabo three with yelling to be that that challenging or that hard to win over families. You bring up a great point with him being one of one of your own because you look at two schools.

They just had to replace legendary coaches. UNC had to replace Roy Williams did so with Hubert Davis, one of their own Duke had to replace John Mike to Chesky legendary coach K.

They did so with one of their own, and John Scheier. Not that it necessarily means that the jobs get to be easy, but you do get the support, especially in colleges like you look at Villanova Villanova Jay Wright retires a bring back one of their own in Kyle Neptune when you bring in someone that either a is a relationship with the University from its past or you bring in some as relationship with the legendary figure, the legendary figure gives the blessing and then fans go all this idea that Coach K's really to be coaching the team from afar. Roy Williams really be coaching the team from afar or Jay Wright and all that stuff you look at your school. Penn State is a good replacement for Joe Paterno and Bill O'Brien but Bill O'Brien was fighting so much with people that were in the Joe Paterno camp that he said delete this. I'm going to the NFL.

So it's so important. Sometimes in college and I don't use that you have to bring one of your own when you replacing a legendary figure, it does move that transition. If you bring in someone that has attachment has affiliation has a background with the University. That to me is important for use that to be one of the best in the business like Bill O'Brien say what you want. He wasn't one of the proceeds is one of the best busy. Below is the patriots offense coordinator Dabo is a top-five coach top three coach in college football. I don't think anyone in the Alabama fan bases get a say all object to Dabo Sweeney coming in. I think the obnoxious don't get me wrong to be different to be bizarre but that would be an excellent move to bring in Dabo whenever Nick Sabin does walk away who also just agreed on a 10 year contract extension and I'm to say five more years, you would think of Nick Sabin but the guy still looks young. He still in good shape and he still loves doing this any clearly has not lost his fastball any speed off his fastball, but is funny to me. Ryan and I have to imagine it's funny you is Dabo Sweeney who was one of the first coaches to speak out about players getting paid and he was here. I remember him saying he was gonna walk away or find another job. The moment players get paid. You make all your money off the kids that you bring in. So never make sense to me in this antiquated line of thinking.

What everyone should get a chunk of the pie.

Other than the guys that are doing the hard work on the field that we all watch obsess over that are playing the game. It's kind of almost an immense tablet. Babbitt agrees his contract extension.

Now the hunts of the million dollars order for the man for ticket money and having time to see someone say something to the other, but it does come off as to what I say not what I do like that's what Dabo Sweeney even though he is a fantastic football coach.

He does come off hypocritical when he takes all this money, but he is so much against the professionalism of college athletics right now to Dabo to be honest like is a great coach are not taken their way from his on the field coaching ability, but he feels disingenuous and further phony. To be honest when he says all those things about players not getting paid, and not kinda having your deserve what they deserve. But here you are the key said profiting off of them winning all these games goes for what they're doing and you're taken, you know, $10 million year and use it although you can't get any of what I'm get you can get any money at all. If you do want to go just quit and go so well for them also entitled it. It's I disingenuous Thales it's it's weird because this was a guy that had to work his ass off to get to where he's at and dear, you are right there is an arrogance about Dabo Sweeney that he could say what he wants and there's no way that your to change his opinion and that's why I'm curious with his football team and I was very critical of him last year. Early on if he's going to adjust because the offense line has really improved from year ago. The receivers still drop in the football and you have someone there indeed to angle lay who you keep on praising, but he hasn't shown you anything last year and to start off the season that first game he was not going and you still praise them.

Afterwards I get being loyal to your player but there's going to have to be a point where they make some changes because I don't view Clemson as a national championship contender line. I want you to bring up one other point here you thought the timing of this contract extension was bizarre but why is that when you look at the Dabo extensions right now it all off-season to get this hammered out.

You want to save all okay that your recent extensions, even savers of labor August 23. So encourage markers extension injured in July. His other hot Jim Harbaugh got his after the season so outside of Seymour's happened about 10 days for the season started it all off-season to know what the numbers are have an idea for to go give a contract extension. Let's just know how are the details now, and when Nick Sabin gets his, maybe just you know subcontractor so I think he actress her passion terms of total composition that average annual value, but total companies are hundred $50 million.

Why do after the first game failure houses drag into the season is using his own question because the timing of all the other extensions you have no time to get it done you have any teas there is that you have to cross on the eyes. Yet the dot on the contract. I will say it does put more pressure on Dabo.

Not that Dabo is clear in any jeopardy of losing his job. But if your team continues to struggle in an ACC that's not all that and you don't get back to the ACC championship game for second year in a row, you're not wrong.

The timing you take money when you get it for the timing does look bizarre, especially since this was a week were a lot of people are being critical of Clemson even though Clemson we look at the score had a dominant victory up against Georgia Tech. When you watch that game. It was the farthest thing from a dominant victory.

It is that culture wants to be a sports radio hot take kick. He has five gambling takeaways for this upcoming season is the number crunching wants to run them by me on the other side and coming up at the top of the hour. The entire 7 PM Eastern, 4 PM Pacific hours dedicated to NFL predictions will tell you all your eight division winners all your 14 playoff teams whose get to be in the Super Bowl whose can be winning the MVP comeback player of the year defensive player of the year coach of the year. All the awards we will head out in the next hour we return a little gambling fix listening to the second Guild show that's writing is that guilt show on CBS sports radio, our NFL preview show is here. The season starts tonight at 8:20 PM Eastern, 5:20 PM Pacific. By the way, Hickey broadcasting cruise this year. I think it's gonna take a little bit of an adjustment so NBC I think the Ricoh will slide right in with Chris Collinsworth to does the ultimate slide and it won't be a problem Al Michaels those doing Thursday nights with Kirk Herb Street now everyone loves Kirk Herb Street and Al Michaels is an absolute legend, but I think it's good to be tough having to explain to people on how to find these Amazon games and that's the good to be an adjustment. How do you think the team of Al Michaels and Kirk Herb Street will do good. Kirk has a good sense of humor. I think he's funny and I will what they will bring that out. It's weird to say this, I wonder if there's too much on his plate. I know we've done some NFL games in the past, but now he's doing one each and every week or almost each and every week then get the college football game.

He got game day as well in the big picture. Now he's not thinking you know the ditches for a living AZ's calling gains any stock in football. I just wonder with some more on his plate how that's going to be, but I would think with a legend like Al Michaels and her treats with Chris Fowler for football is fantastic for college football II think he'll be fine. I just wonder though With how much is on his plate. How was he to respond. Now we get the Fox I like Kevin Burkart a lot. Greg Olson really doesn't do anything for me on the on the number one broadcasting but he's basically just keeping the seat warm for Tom Brady and CBS Nance Romo obviously been doing it now for a while and Monday night. You will get Joe Botkin Troy Aikman now we know the two of them are to be great. That's an adjustment go hearing them on ESPN. I see Joe Bock on ESPN now. It's weird and also this year, when you get the World Series and showed Davis, he don't have Joe Bock that's could it be even more bizarre because I love when October basically was just the month of Joe Bock when he was doing baseball games World Series playoff games and also calling gains that I felt Sunday, you know, Nance has that big run NCAA Super Bowl sometimes into the NCAA tournament got stuff at the Masters all that stuff final for that's always cool. October is really reserved for Joe Bock. Now he's not to be: baseball games clearly without ESPN and now it's a tougher decision of whether watch the main cast or watch the main Monday night football broadcast. I don't love the Manning cast as much as everyone else does. I like it. For a brief little bit.

I think Eli by the way, sensational.

The problem that I have at the Manning Kasei citizen. The first broadcast they do too many interviews and it does feel as if it the game is getting taken away from when you're in the fourth quarter and there's big plays going on. I need the focus to be on the game and I would find often at times last year that I'd be flipping over in the fourth quarter in clutch moments when there's a big game to hear at the time who was it Steve Leavy Lewis Riddick and Brian Griese because the main focus was on the game. Now I get it.

That's the style of broadcast that they want for the manic as a do something different. But I don't need an interview every quarter with the guest batches for for my preference.

I'll tell you now I will flip to the Manning broadcaster.the time, but the majority of my watching when I'm tuning on ESPN Monday Night Football tuning in. After the show ends will be with Joe Botkin Troy Aikman broadcasting of all the major networks we look at the number ones of who's the best broadcasting in your opinion thereafter kicking. I will go.

Still, Botkin Aikman talking Aikman yes okay I can't disagree with that getting the teams are bad.

Greg Olson leaves you one a little bit more, but the guy recently retired. He was good in those XXL games remember and he's called NFL games before and he has a familiarity with Burkart. I would just personally I can't wait to see what Brady does in the book, but I lets get some good football. It doesn't really matter was called games and what I got some gambling pics here for me or some reaction we look at the numbers he laid out a big gambling got you been all over some of the numbers here which is very interesting. This is all season long all off-season long bets coming in for each team to win the division and starting the vision you roof for the AFC East. Clearly what the bills are by far the favor in terms of the number of tickets, put in an amount of money in the bills. What's interesting though. The last one.

The Jets have had 21% of all tickets cashed or all tickets made to win the ACs has been on them when you have to pay 21% yes the patriots 10% what we look at the amount of money so I can start of the Scharf money. I like the most money, but on the teams again the bills are runaway Jets 12% of all bets made on AFC swingers are on them. The patriots last 5% weight 12% of the Jets. When the division yes terms of mountains or not you said 21. At first I was in number of tickets like that all normal outsiders. Article 21 ticket yes okay percent.

Note the percentage of like tickets you can for the dollar bet for the pet steel and and now it's the ticket number or take a percentage amidst the money percentage after how much money God is wagered. Either way the Jets are in third place in both categories. The pictures are fourth-place and hers is bundled that's what people look at the number being it's so big and putting some some money down that that's a way that I live percent match its retrieval doing that for 75 that there's no way the Jets are.

What did I guarantee I was a great July 4 of this division.

Severance of the patriots that she's on final generation people down the patriots. I'm even doubting my own football team. I don't think there to be great this year but whatever. Okay, the bizarre trends going AFC North Bengals ravens are pretty close but second-place first places the bangle second places after the Steelers really in terms of the amount of tickets made this the are the bangles 33.2% of tickets are on them.

33.1% to one prayer 10% or 1/10 your confusion with these numbers, Bengals and Steelers just give me 1% that year. I just said 33.2 to 33.1 a look at bangles, the Steelers, the Steelers and the second most better team and AFC North when the division of second when the vision is also an yeah I would still go with the bangles of the ravens.

Very bizarre with Mitch Grabowski is one AFC West very popular all four teams are close but the winner was the most bet on. I guess sure raters know chargers, no Broncos.

Nope, it's the cheese chief some surprise of the recent cheese fatigues that the cheese my last my last guess there is why it's interesting that all the other three teams got a lot of attention, but according to Ben MG had the most tickets they received have been on the Chiefs to win the AFC West sports books, the king, a sports books. Overall, the highest percentage of tickets to win one division of the articles outside Charlotte yes yeah I was good to think Tampa or Buffalo. There is a greater percentage of them to win the NFC East than the bills to win the AFC East then the where there are runaway Xerox boxed when the AC's NFC South of egos out of the eight divisions in your mind this out like a slamdunk twin the division all bills in box.

I was one of the first people sitting is good with the division of the draft, but it's not as if they are so much better than the Cowboys. Now the commanders may have course once and the Giants are distinct but but I'm surprised that the Eagles out of all the divisions they have them the most bets on them would not division.

Second, most things to win the NFC South will say Saints general the same type to win the division us, the people forget that the goal is still pliant and the goal is still dominated. What would you people that don't Josie
