As always, this episode of what's Right with the Grind is brought to you by our friends at Boost Mobile. A reminder to everyone Please please like rate subscribe to the show A reminder. All our lines are from our good friends at Hard Rock Bet and this weekend to Monday I got crushed and I was watching the game from a sports book in Philly where I had been playing poker in the morning and the Bills game that is. And I just kept betting the Bills because I was so sure I was on the right side of it and then I just left left four very sad tickets at the little booth I had set up at the sports book afterwards. So here's how we done the playoffs have ruined us and I have made an executive decision that my season long record and my playoff record are separate entities. So I know the graphic is about to tell you that the season long record I'm now four games under 500. But the reality is for the season I was exactly 500. For the playoffs I'm guaranteed a stone loser. But this regular season is where the circa contest is just regular season. Me versus Danny is just regular season. This is what we call coping because I'm not doing well. Here were my four picks this weekend I had the Bills plus one at Denver. I don't think I was on the wrong side of it. They they at one point it looked like before Josh Allen threw the final interception they were about to be the first, the second team in 87 playoff games to lose the turnover battle by three and win anyway. They turned the ball over five times and lost by a field goal in overtime. But that's a loser. I can't so much say I was on the right side of San Francisco +7 at Seattle. That might be to Monza the shortest amount of time anyone's ever been covering a bet. I was getting seven points. So you start off covering Seattle, returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and then just covered the whole way. That was a stone loser New England -3 against Houston, I was again. I mean, I won it and I was on the right side of it. And The Rams -4 at Chicago. They're up seven. It's fourth down. Caleb Williams is retreating 40 yards backwards for a nice little cover. And we lose. So again, I feel like I liked my process on three of the four. Doesn't matter. I went 1 and 4 and then. Or 1 and 3 and then to add a little twist of the knife, I got greedy in the national championship game. I had that game clocked exactly right. That I thought Miami was very live, that Miami was better than people thought that Miami could get. Oh, I don't know, withstand a punt, blocked for a touchdown and still have a chance to win the game. But instead of taking the eight and a half points, I bet them on the money line at +2 60 and that's another loser. So you, on the other hand, had the same two losers as me and Bills and Niners, but you had New England as a winner, the Bears as a winner, and Miami plus eight and a half. So your gambling success continues. I'm happy for you. Just brutal. Just brutal. I don't know what if we're going to be on the same side on these two conference championship games? We're going to get to those in a moment. But first, let me remind you guys, today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock bet Florida Sportsbook. These playoffs have been crazy.

We will start with the NFC Championship Game. Go ahead, man.
- [09:14]
Co-host/Analyst
The NFC Championship game has the Seahawks and Rams who have seen each other's twice this year, and both of those were tightly contested games. You've gone as far to say that this is the de facto Super Bowl. Do you care to explain that?
- [09:29]
Host/Analyst
Yeah, I just I think that there are certain times when it's very clear that one of the conference championship games is going to determine is is the of the three games remaining, the two best teams aren't going to be playing in the Super Bowl. They're playing this weekend. And I would be stunned if the winner of this game does not win the Super Bowl. And this was the case in 94 when we had Niners, Cowboys, NFC Championship game with the Chargers waiting on the other side of it. This was the case in 06 when we had Patriots, Colts, AFC Championship game with the Rex Grossman Bears waiting on the other side of it. And that's what I think we have this weekend. And I know I'm going to do this. I guess a little clunky. I'm going to tell you my pick in this game now and then I'll explain why I think the Rams win. So I'll take the Rams plus two and a half. I Seattle has been unbelievable all year and they are in some very impressive historical territory as far as teams that score as many points per game as they do more than 25 and allow as few points per game as they do less than 17. Their defense is awesome. Their coach is awesome. They do have home field advantage. With that said and Darnold, you know, has earned at the very least everyone's respect, even if he hasn't quite earned everyone's trust. With that said, Stafford is in such a different tier as than Darnold and McVeigh. As great as Mike McDonald is, I think McVeigh is the second best coach in the NFL and some of McVeigh's game management stuff late can be a little vexing, but I have felt like the Rams were the best team all year long. I shouldn't say all year long, but certainly the best NFC team throughout most of the year and the best team overall the last few months. I don't mind Monza that they haven't played their best game in these playoffs. I think that I know what their best game looks like. I know they have it in them. I've seen them play their best defensive game of the season against Seattle when they forced the four interceptions and and I saw them play their best offensive game of the year against Seattle. Like when Stafford threw for 4:50 that game on Thursday night. That was essential. That was for the one seed essentially. It was criminal. The Rams lost that game. They were in full and total control of that game. Rasheed Shahid returns a pump for a touchdown. They have another like reverse was. I think it was to Shaheed where he gets them down inside the 10. There was the really fluky backward pass 2 point conversion, remember where they then pick the ball up in the end zone and they get the two point conversion and then in overtime Stafford drives right down the field. They score a touchdown and they can't get a stop on Darnold who at that point was playing great. I just believe I think this is the Rams year. I think that Stafford has cemented himself. Stafford is going to be if if I'm right that he's winning the mvp. He has cemented himself as a Hall of Famer, league MVP plus Super Bowl Championship plus the counting numbers. He's going to be a Hall of Famer. If he makes another super bowl, much less wins another super bowl, then you do start having interesting historical discussions of Stafford vs Big Ben Stafford vs Drew Brees. Like though that's the territory that he starts to eke into and so I I like the Rams in this spot and I'm not going to say demons a that I think Darnold is going to melt, but I think melt is more likely than awesome game I might and so I Seattle is a tough place to play.

The Rams trying to do something only a handful of teams have done, which is three straight road games en route to the super bowl, but I think they can do it. I like the Rams plus the two and a half. Where the the where are you on this one?
- [14:38]
Co-host/Analyst
I'm on Seahawks minus the points. I think this will actually be like more of a low scoring game and I believe in Seattle's defense a little bit more than I believe in the Rams. I just I think it'll be tightly contested and I think the Seahawks will be able to pull it off.
- [14:53]
Host/Analyst
Seattle's defense is unbelievable and it wouldn't stun me at all if they, you know, if they win it the Seattle can make the case. Guys, we've been the best team in the league start to finish that the first game of the year. We lost a weird one to the Niners where Darnold fumbled when they were looked like they were going to be going in for the game winning touchdown. The we lost another weird one to the Bucks 38:35 where we had it. We were up 3528 with a minute 10 left and then gave up a touchdown. Turn the ball over Bucks field goal and we lost that one game to the Rams 21:19 where we lost by two points despite the fact that our quarterback turned it over four times. Seattle has a legit client that start to finish. They've been the best team. I just believe in the Rams this weekend.

So the Patriots find themselves facing that Denver defense and no BO Knicks. They're in a decent situation right now. They got Jared Stidham. What are your thoughts on this one? I think this one could be spicy.
- [19:53]
Host/Analyst
So I do too. So I think that the combination of the shakiness of the Pat's offensive line plus how loose Drake May has been with the football, plus the crowd noise in Denver, which is going to help the Broncos pass rush immensely because the Patriots are going to have to go to a silent count. Drake May's first career road playoff game. All of that means this is a game that I think could be played in the teens and if it's a game that's going to be played in the teens and I'm getting five and a half points with it with the home team all take those five and a half points. I think the Stidham piece of this Demons A is super interesting because he only has four career starts. He hasn't started in two years and he's getting his first start in a conference championship game. All of that is horrifying. However, he's 29 years old so he's experienced. Sean Payton made it a priority to go get him and right when he got to Denver and then resign him after two years, his first career start ever came against a really good Niners team. He put up 300 yards and three touchdowns. There is something there to where you know what I mean. And, and we saw Denver throughout the year in games Bo Nix didn't play well. We saw Denver keep it close and find a way to win. Now I don't expect Stidham to be as good, you know, in these clutch drive situations as Bo Nix had been, but I do think he will be passable and I think that I think Drake May is more likely to turn the ball over in this game than Stidham is. The Patriots are more likely to be able to overcome that. But I like the Broncos plus the points. I think this is a 17, 13, 21, 17, 17, 14 type of game where New England wins. I do think the Patriots win, but I think the Broncos cover they're the biggest home dog in a championship game since the merger. They're the first home dog in a championship game in a decade. The last one was the Broncos hosting the Patriots with Peyton Manning hosting old Peyton Manning hosting Tom Brady. And I as much as it pains me, I have to give Sean Payton credit. He called his shot on this team and he's been right. And the Broncos just won an unbelievable game against Buffalo. They earned the one seed and I think that they are going to be able to greatly impact the Patriots passing game. So even though I think the Patriots find a way to win and we get a Super bowl of the 1 and 2 MVP finalists, Stafford and May, I'll take Denver plus the points. Where do you fall on that?
- [23:23]
Co-host/Analyst
I'm taking Denver with the points and I honestly think they could end up winning this game. I think they. They definitely went up winning the game. Five and a half. Definitely comfortable with. But yeah, and I honestly think Stidham is. It's like that. That feeling when nobody expects anything of you. And it's just like I don't think anybody expects him to deliver out there. So if he does, he does. And I don't think they. They might not find themselves in a situation where they are having to come back because he wasn't playing bad the whole game.
- [23:51]
Host/Analyst
Well, you do raise an interesting point, which is this is the only scenario the Patriots could have found themselves in where they're on the road in the AFC Championship game in Drake, May's second year as a starter and Mike Vrabel's first year as a head coach. And all the pressure is on them, right? Yes. And so I do. I do find that at least somewhat interesting. Real quick. You guys ever notice how everything keeps going up? Rents going up, streaming services going up, your favorite burrito spots charging extra for salsa? Not with Boost Mobile. With Boost Mobile, you and your phone bill don't have to play the will this go up soon game. Why? Because Boost Mobile has unlimited talk, text and data at a place at a price that'll never go up.

Customers will pay $25 per month as long as they remain active on the Boost unlimited plan. All right. Demands a teasers are tough in the playoffs because you don't have you. You usually have the whole league to look through. And so now, and you're a little bit forced. Last week you tease Seattle plus one stone winner Buffalo to plus nine. Winner Houston to plus 11. And CJ just killed you just kill.
- [25:19]
Co-host/Analyst
I mean, yeah, should have teased the Patriots there obviously, but. But yeah, so that. That one's a loser 3. So this one's a little weird. This one's more man made. It's a 3.8 point alternate line parlay at minus 102. So I've. I'm teasing. New England up to plus two and a half and the Rams to plus ten and a half and then I'm taking the under on the Rams Seahawks game and that's at 55.
- [25:49]
Host/Analyst
Okay, so you added points to the total as well. Okay.
- [25:52]
Co-host/Analyst

- [26:07]
Host/Analyst
New England. You just thought New England could. That the Broncos could win.
- [26:12]
Co-host/Analyst
I did.
- [26:12]
Host/Analyst
And now you're teasing the Patriots to.
- [26:15]
Co-host/Analyst
I mean, I trust that. I trust the Patriots. No, no, no, no. I trust the Patriots to keep it close more than I trust the brink Broncos to win the game. Like, I think even if the Patriots were to lose the game, I still think it'd be a close game and I believe New England will win it. But I also wouldn't be shocked if Bronco if the Broncos.
- [26:32]
Host/Analyst
No, I, I buy all that. Which is why if that on the screen right there, it said New England plus three and a half, I would feel better. But just because you're saying keep it close, you can the Patriots lose by three.
- [26:46]
Co-host/Analyst
Oh yeah. Or I could just. Right. I could just tease the Broncos up in that direction. But I guess I'm telling on myself. I might believe in New England more, but I do think the game.
- [26:58]
Host/Analyst
I gotta tell you, I. This is a. This is why teasing the playoffs so hard. Five and a half points. A five and a half point spread is the nut low. The single worst point spread for an eight point teaser because you tease the fate, you tease the favorite. You don't get the field goal because you're at plus two and a half. You tease the dog. You don't get two full touchdowns. You're at plus 13 and a half. You're just. It's just the worst possible number to have to tease on. So I'm not, I'm not there. You don't have a lot of options here. It's just a rough one. Speaking of rough ones.
- [27:39]
Co-host/Analyst
Yeah.
- [27:40]
Host/Analyst
Last week I was like, I'm not giving you one touchdown Genie. I'm doing a three touchdown Genie parlay of Devonte Adams, Josh Allen and Puka Nakua. And those three guys all didn't score a touchdown. I guess that's better than going 2 for 3. And so I mean Kyron Williams, anytime touchdown plus 1 25. That's what I'm going with.
- [28:11]
Co-host/Analyst
Okay.
- [28:12]
Host/Analyst
Kyren Williams, Rams running back, anytime touchdown. That's the one I'm going with. I also took an offer last week, a totals offer that also went over two. That was bad. I had under and Niner Seahawks this Niners scored six points and the under did not come in. I had the over and Rams Bears insane. Actually that game. That game went to overtime and the over didn't come in. Stone losers. I'm giving America really rough week. To which I say I'm not taking anybody's stupid offer. I'm not doing it.
