00:00one of the other stories that we heard today and watching the market just go all over the place
00:05with New Orleans playing the Browns on Saturday. This was fascinating. This was down to one and a
00:12half this week from an opening of New Orleans being a three-point favorite down to minus one
00:19and a half. There were a lot of Browns money came in this week, and then all of a sudden
00:24the news
00:24broke that. Oh, yeah, by the way, yeah, we're going to have a problem. Deshaun Watson in the
00:31concussion protocol that nobody knew about, and that means Shador Sanders is going to be your new
00:36quarterback, and that promptly pushed the market back to around three right now with New Orleans.
00:43I don't know what that says about New Orleans exactly, given the fact that everyone was
00:48banking and betting on Cleveland here with Deshaun Watson under center to win that game, but
00:55it looks like cooler heads have prevailed, and now that Shador Sanders is under center, but I ask you,
01:02Craig, tomato, tomato, to me, Deshaun Watson, Shador Sanders, the defense has still got to win a game
01:11for the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, it could be very similar. I don't know that there is a huge drop-off
01:17Watson had played very well at the beginning of the season, and naturally, as you said, it's been
01:22their defense, and they have that kicker who's been the best clutch kicker in the NFL this season.
01:28That guy's made every kick that they've asked him to make, so I'm with you, Joe. I don't know that
01:33it
01:33means all that much. I would assume Watson just comes right back when he's healthy and takes over,
01:38but what we have to do is give the Browns a lot of credit because regardless of what happens from
01:42this point forward, they have already gone over their season win total. They've overachieved in every
01:47single way, and maybe the coaching, maybe the coordinating. That's just been the key to this
01:55and how successful they've been, so I'm going to guess that Cleveland probably a little bit
01:59undervalued with Sanders starting. You know what they want to do. They want to hand the ball off
02:03to Judkins. They want to find this kid Concepcion who's had a great year in Denzel Boston, and by the
02:08way, most underrated tight end in the NFL, bar none, is Harold Fannin. I mean, no one knows who this
02:15guy is. He's going to end up being a top three tight end at the end of the NFL season.
02:19What a
02:19phenomenal play. This guy was so great at the end of last year, and he's taken it right into this
02:24year
02:24too, so I think Cleveland's fine, Joe. I mean, who are the Saints to be, you know, even close to
02:30being
02:30a favorite over anyone right now? They've been playing horrible football. I agree. I do not trust
02:36the Saints as far as I can throw them, and I don't think it's as big a downgrade, especially
02:42somebody that's been with the team now and has been there from the start with, you know, with their
02:49new head coach and the playbook, so no. I don't think there is a big difference. I'll gladly take
02:56the three points with the Cleveland Browns here against New Orleans.
