00:00uh meanwhile a fight to the finish maybe a fight to the first or second pick in the draft that's
00:04the way things are headed shocking outcomes for me by the way on both teams here houston being
00:08one of the worst defensive teams in the nfl wow didn't see that coming the chargers being winless
00:15this season not one and six one and seven winless this season and the odds makers can't even figure
00:20it out because you got a very rare line in this game joe five five and a half you don't
00:26see that
00:27in the nfl it's sixes it's fours it's sevens but a five and a half point spread against the chargers
00:32and a disgusting low total of 40 and a half i mean you can't back the chargers anymore i get
00:40it
00:40but i still maintain my same thought they're not gonna go one in 16 against the spread it's not
00:47gonna happen it doesn't happen in the nfl so at some point chargers are gonna start covering but
00:53i've been saying that every week and it's not happening so i continue to be wrong but i but
00:58but this is but this is the one area that that does change in the national football league the ats
01:04record unless the chargers are gonna break the record for most losses against the spread in the
01:08season i gotta believe at some point they're gonna cover i don't know maybe this is the week
01:13well they got games against the jets the tampa bay buccaneers the las vegas raiders coming up so
01:19there's some chances there for them to cover some spreads i think i don't see them being favored in a
01:23lot of
01:23these games uh but in this one coming off a bye i think the houston texans again the need of
01:28this
01:28game for the texans is enormous for them to stay relevant right now uh there's still a window and a
01:33path for them to make the playoffs it's narrow but they have to win this game uh and i think
01:38that the
01:38one thing you want to point to is the injuries that they've had here on the defensive side for
01:41the chargers so you can talk about the offense all you out perryman uh doubtful for this game
01:46yeah derwin james go on the ir that's a huge piece here uh you know cleo mac is on track
01:52to play
01:52he did practice in full but he was resting during the week uh bud dupree had an illness like there's
01:57just a lot of issues here with this defense so i'm gonna look instead to the thing that i think
02:01i can
02:02control the most which is cj stroud who has been one of the tops in the league this year in
02:06terms of
02:06passing yards let's go over 251 and a half for him how that comes down is it nico collins is
02:12it
02:12tank dell in an elevated role now that jalen knoll is out is it marvin harrison jr working a little
02:17bit
02:17more is it dalton schultz it could be all of the above but whatever it's going to be i think
02:21it's
02:21going to be cj stroud throwing the ball a lot because running has not worked for them this year
02:24and the chargers have enough defensive injuries here where i think they can really take advantage
02:29of what i think is a pretty soft secondary right now health wise my mcdaniel is just getting pounded
02:34week after week now goes up to the booth i mean he's the most talked about coordinator on a losing
02:39team in the nfl i haven't seen anything like it in years
02:41week after week now so that's okay for seizing PPE for sports five years
02:41two-year
