00:00And we heard more news today in the NFL about who's in and who is out.
00:07And I'm kind of shocked it made it this low, Craig.
00:11But we tried telling people yesterday, we've seen this line, and it was going to be your favorite bet, I
00:17know.
00:18Started at 5 1⁄2, then it was 5, then it was 4 1⁄2, then it was 4 yesterday.
00:24And now it's down to 3, as Lamar Jackson has been officially ruled out of this game for Sunday, 1
00:33o'clock, in Cleveland.
00:36Man, some 5 1⁄2, all the way down to 3.
00:39I don't know that it'll get to 2 1⁄2, but the home dog, a lot of people back in the
00:45Browns here.
00:46And after Huntley just beat Atlanta, I mean, is that a fair line move here?
00:54Huntley's very good.
00:55And so I'm going to stick with that play for me for the week.
00:58But I think it's fair to say that yesterday I was pretty emphatic about the 4.
01:04So I'm going to take my 4 points on Cleveland.
01:07If it lands on 3, I'll be miserable.
01:09So, look, it's just, you know, for me, it's just a strategy that I've had, and it's worked very well
01:15on these best bets all season long.
01:17I don't even, eventually I'm going to have to lose one.
01:19Maybe this is it, but it's just a buy-low opportunity.
01:23That's all I see here is that Cleveland looked awful last week.
01:27Of course, my best play was the Jets, and they came through.
01:32But I think for me, that's just all it is, is looking at this and saying,
01:38I can't make Tyler Huntley even a favorite in Cleveland, honestly.
01:42Like, it just seems weird to me that he is.
01:44And he was so good last week.
01:45I mean, I'm not going to take anything away from him, but I think Cleveland is, and Munkin, I think
01:52they're, like, in a room somewhere and saying, like, listen, if we just stop Derrick Henry, shouldn't we win this
01:57game, like, 9-7?
01:59Like, shouldn't we be able to just do the same thing that we did to the Jets?
02:02I know the Jets are obviously not Baltimore, but you don't even have to win this one.
02:07Cleveland could still lose, and you can get the four.
02:08So I'm going to stick with the Browns here.
02:11I don't know if they win the game, but in my opinion, I just, I know Cleveland is going to
02:17beat Baltimore at some point this year.
02:19Either this week, and if they lose and I lose this one, I'm going to go right back to them
02:22when they're getting their 10 points in Baltimore in November, and I'll play it then.
02:27I am not a Huntley guy.
02:29I don't think Huntley is one of those five, six best backups in the NFL.
02:34I think he's a guy we know because he's been around a long time, but I don't think he's one
02:41of the better backups in the league, and I think that, honestly, I don't know how Baltimore did what they
02:47did last week to win the game.
02:49I don't think it happens again.
02:51I don't think it happens again.
02:53I will also throw this out, Craig, and, you know, maybe what is missed on some people, too, is that
03:01who knows Huntley better than his former O.C.?
03:06That's true.
03:07That's true.
03:08Yeah, Munkin.
03:08I didn't think about that.
03:09You're right.
03:10You know what I'm saying?
03:11So, like, who knows it better than he knows what his limitations are better than anybody?
03:17So, no Zay Flowers on the designation list.
03:22So, at least Zay Flowers is healthy.
03:23That is somewhat good news.
03:25Yeah.
03:25But they traded for this center, Juergens, right, with Philadelphia.
03:31He missed last week's game.
03:33He's still in the concussion protocol.
03:35He is not going in this game either, which is interesting.
03:40So, they still are short on the offensive line.
03:43And Junkins, Graham, Schlesinger, all the starters, a couple of guys on the defensive side, and Junkins, a running back
03:51for Cleveland, all practiced today.
03:53So, that could be good news.
03:55Can you tell me if Dylan Sampson practiced today for Cleveland, Joe, if you're looking at it right now?
04:00Can you tell me about that?
04:01Yes, let me, yes.
04:02Light, yes.
04:03Limited practice, but he practiced.
04:05Yeah, yeah.
04:06That is a big name to circle this week for the Cleveland Browns.
04:09Dylan Sampson.
04:10They thought a lot of him when they drafted him.
04:13They played him a lot the first week of the season.
04:15He got hurt.
04:16He went on IR designated to return, and he came back.
04:19He's not going to be Derrick Henry.
04:20He's not going to get 20 carries ever in a game.
04:22But this guy out of the backfield, Joe, in their camps and the preseason, they were just dumping the ball
04:28off to him, and this guy runs 50 yards.
04:31So, keep an eye out for that guy this week.
04:34I just don't know if he's going to play or not or how much he's going to play.
04:38Judkins, as we're starting to watch Judkins, we're sort of realizing, like, he could be okay, but he's always, I
04:44think, going to be in a tandem back situation.
04:47I don't think he's ever going to be, like, a sole back situation.
04:51So, yeah, but that's a really good point on Munkin, too, you would think.
04:54And, by the way, Tyler Huntley, Snoop Huntley, not longtime Ravens backup.
04:58He played in Miami.
04:59He was awful a couple of years ago.
05:01Don't forget this.
