The Herd with Colin Cowherd: "What's Wright – NFL Week 6 Predictions"

Guest: Chad Millman
Co-host: Damanze
Date: October 10, 2025
Episode Theme: In this episode, the focus is squarely on NFL Week 6 betting predictions. Chad Millman, with Damanze, breaks down which games to target, which to avoid, and details his five favorite betting picks for the week. The episode also features a fan-favorite teaser segment and touchdown prop bets, all delivered in Chad’s candid, self-critical style.

Episode Overview

Chad Millman, joined by co-host Damanze, delivers a transparent and analytical rundown of Week 6 NFL betting action, seeking to rebound from a rough October and subpar season record. This week's betting philosophy: trust in quarterbacks and teams with a clear edge at the most important position rather than over-analyzing trends or injuries. The duo eschews traditional rules to shake off past losses, compares notes on "stay away" games, and cap off with prop bets and the “can’t lose teaser” pick.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Betting Recap & Philosophy Shift

Timestamp: 02:25–06:30

• Chad describes his recent slump, citing an 11-14 record on the season and a string of unlucky and bad picks.
  • “I'm now 11 and 14 on the year which is pathetic. It means I need a 4 in one week to get to 505 and oh to get above 500. ... But we rebound, we move forward and we'll get to that.” (Chad Millman, 03:35)
• Announces a shift in strategy: betting strictly on teams with quarterbacks he inherently trusts, regardless of conventional handicapping wisdom.
  • “If I'm going to try to write my gambling ship, it's going to be on the right arms of quarterbacks I believe in...” (Chad Millman, 09:30)

---

2. "Stay Away" Games

Timestamp: 06:30–15:14
Chad and Damanze analyze several matchups they refuse to bet due to line volatility, injuries, or unpredictable variables.

• Denver vs. Jets (London)
  • Lean Jets +7.5 but wary from previous experiences with Denver.
  • “If I were to bet, I would be taking the Jets plus the points.” (Chad Millman, 07:00)
• Chargers at Miami
  • Chargers are unreliable to cover -4, Dolphins may be ‘dead team walking’ without Tyreek Hill.
  • “Four is just too many. ... Miami could just roll over at any point.” (Chad Millman, 08:10)
• New England at New Orleans
  • Cautious of Patriots letdown after big win; not enough faith in Saints QB to back them, even with +3.5.
• Arizona at Indy
  • Can't trust either side after Arizona's meltdown and Indy's year-long inconsistency.
• Rams at Baltimore
  • Rams -7.5 was tempting, but West-to-East travel, Baltimore’s desperation, and unknowns at QB (Lamar injury) create risk.
• Seattle at Jacksonville & miscellaneous others:
  • Lines viewed as fair; little to no perceived edge.

3. Chad's Five Favorite Picks for Week 6

Timestamp: 19:51–27:15

Chad pivots mid-show, dropping Pittsburgh -5.5 for the Rams -7.5 after debating the merits of betting against his usual rules. “I'm only going with quarterbacks I trust” becomes the week’s doctrine.

The Picks:

1. Rams -7.5 at Baltimore
   • “The Rams need it. They are the team on extra rest. I trust Stafford. The Ravens are a mess. Lamar is not playing.” (Chad Millman, 21:09)
2. Cowboys -3 at Carolina
   • “I'm going against some of my general gambling rules because I believe Dak has been awesome. The Panthers are just totally inept for entire quarters or halves at a time.” (Chad Millman, 21:55)
   • Noting Dak Prescott's dominance vs. sub-.500 teams: “He's 33, 18 and 2 against the spread in his career against teams under .500.” (Chad Millman, 22:07)
3. Buccaneers -3 vs. 49ers
   • “I don't think the Niners have the secondary to deal with Tampa's receivers. ... I'll lay the three points. I believe in the Bucs.” (Chad Millman, 22:49)
4. Kansas City -2 vs. Detroit
   • “The Lions top two corners are out for this game. ... I believe the entire general public is going to be all over Detroit and I think there are going to be a lot of get even on the day by betting on Detroit on Sunday Night Football. And I think the Chiefs just find a way.” (Chad Millman, 23:41)
   • “I may or may not have bet Dan LeBatard $5,000 straight up in this game...” (Chad Millman, 25:42)
5. Chicago +4 at Washington
   • “Chicago off a buy. This is the most important game of Caleb's career up to this point...I believe that they can win. And if they don't win ... they certainly can keep it within a field goal.” (Chad Millman, 26:32)

Philosophical Note:
Chad recognizes some picks are "square," especially the Rams, Cowboys, and potentially Tampa. “I do not care. I have to stop overthinking this. ... This is how I'm doing it.” (Chad Millman, 27:07)

---

4. Damanze's "Can't Lose Teaser"

Timestamp: 32:01–34:34

• This Week's Teaser: Three-team, 8-point, +100
  • Seattle up to +9 at Jacksonville
  • Chicago up to +12 at Washington
  • Detroit up to +10 at Kansas City
• Reasoning focuses on key numbers and underdog resilience: “It's three games. That is very Difficult to see any of those teams ... getting blown out.” (Chad Millman, 33:53)
• Chad’s grade: “This is an A plus. ... I love it. I think that's a great one, pal.” (Chad Millman, 33:52–34:08)

---

5. Prop Bets and Longshots

Timestamp: 34:38–35:58

• Touchdown Genie:
  • Chad’s pick: Xavier Worthy at +125, leveraging injuries to Detroit’s secondary.
• NFL passing overs parlay:
  • Stafford over 260.5 yards & Jordan Love over 239.5 yards (+250). Chad passes: “I have to turn this one down.”
  • Alternate accepted: Micah Parsons & Rashan Gary both over 0.5 sacks (+210). “That offer is locked in.” (Chad Millman, 35:58)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I'm only going to go with quarterbacks I trust. ... I'm doing something that I should not do.” (Chad Millman, 20:22)
• “I'm telling you right now on Chad Millman Sharp versus Square. I am undoubtedly on the square side of Rams, Cowboys and maybe Tampa. I do not care.” (Chad Millman, 27:07)
• “I may or may not have bet Dan LeBatard $5,000 straight up in this game...” (Chad Millman, 25:42)
• “This is an A plus. ... I love it. I think that's a great one, pal.” (Chad Millman, 33:52–34:08, on Damanze’s teaser)

What Driving Nick Ride Episode 377 as this episode of what's Right in the Guy is presented to you by Boost Mobile for our gambling shows on Friday. We don't have a straight to voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile because we get straight into the picks and everything and a reminder like rate subscribe review and a reminder. All lines are from Hard Rock Bet. And another reminder. The teaser has been the most reliable part of this show so far because damanz once again last week I own 2 and 3 and it was kind of perfect. I had two great picks, two horrendous picks and one that could have gone either way and went against me. I'm not like it just it is what it is. I gotta call it like I see it. I'm now 11 and 14 on the year which is pathetic. It means I need a 4 in one week to get to 505 and oh to get above 500. Last week we had Baltimore plus a point navigates Houston cause I thought Lamar might play. They get annihilated. We had Dallas minus two and a half against the Jets. They're up 30 to three. Great bet. We had Vegas plus six and a half at Indy. I said I thought they could win outright. They I What was that 40 to 6 with disaster. We had New England getting seven and a half at Buffalo. I thought they could win outright. They did. So those are the two great and the two bad. And then Philly minus three and a half against Denver. Listen that one could have gone either way. It it lost. Philly was ahead most of the way but still the COVID was in jeopardy and Denver went ends up winning the game outright. So no no bad luck, no bad beats. I didn't have Arizona laying the points and then watch that train wreck. I did of course though have Arizona and what was my last vestiges of my survivor pools. So I'm it's been a rough October for the picks by the way. I I said the picks have mirrored the chiefs that they were 500 through the first four weeks of the year. They're you know a game under thereabouts and still tough loss in week five. But we rebound, we move forward and we'll get to that.

All right Damanze, let's get to the stay aways. By the way, the Texans and the Vikings are on a buy this week. We'll get to the games. We're not betting. Then we'll get to my five picks. Then we'll get to your can't lose teaser.

[Damanze]

Our our first stay away is this week's London game. We got Denver versus the Jets. Jets are seven and a half point.

[Chad Millman]

Dogs so here's here's where I fall on it. Typically I would like getting more than a touchdown in one of these weird London games. I also think you know there is Woody Johnson who owns the jets used to be the ambassador to England. It was after the England game last year that he fired Salah because they lost that game. There's extra pressure on The jets who are 05, haven't forced a turnover yet. So there's a lot of reasons that I would go with the jets here getting those points. I don't really trust Denver's offense. I think Bo Nicks has been up and down but I have been burned a few times this year by my priors that Denver's not that great of a team and I have included far too many if we go through. I think I've had Denver, I think. I think I've gone against Denver in the picks four of the five weeks and that is not up to this point served me Incredibly well. So for those reasons I'm going to give it a break. But, but if I on Denver but if I were to bet this game, I would be taking the jets plus the points.

[Damanze]

Next mark the Chargers at Miami. Miami's four point dogs.

[Chad Millman]

So I don't think you can in good conscience bet on the Miami Dolphins right now. I also think that asking the Chargers with the offense the way it's currently functioning to cover more than a field goal is a little ambitious. The Chargers obviously need this game and Miami might be dead team walking. And at two and a half I would swallow the points on the road for the Chargers and go with it. 4 is just too many. So you might say, why won't you just take Miami? Because Miami could just roll over at any point and you know it was a devastating loss for them this past weekend that they did not expect. It's now another week without Tyree Kill. That's just a stay away for me.

[Damanze]

Next one next we got New England at New Orleans. New Orleans three and a half point dogs.

[Chad Millman]

This isn't this. You like New England here?

[Damanze]

Yeah, I, I don't know but I mean it's kind of weird. Yeah, I don't, I don't love New England here especially. They're coming off a really high, super high after beating Buffalo. Yeah, I would stay away from this one too.

[Chad Millman]

Super high after beating Buffalo. But the extra time off. Yeah, you know, is it the, the, the mini buy. This feels like this is the second straight week where the New Orleans game, the line has felt a little weird to me. Like the Vegas favors last week, I think they were favored last week against the Giants where Vegas is anticipating a bunch of the money coming in on the other side and them just loving that. I, I almost included New Orleans plus three and a half in my picks this week but this week as you will see, I am. Well, you'll see when we get to the picks. But I'm leaning into this week if, if I'm going to try to write my gambling ship, it's going to be on the right arms of quarterbacks I believe in and it's not going to be because I think Spencer Rattler who's played fine to his credit is going to. Is going to cover three and a half points against a Patriot team that right now feels really good about where it is.

[Damanze]

Next one we got Arizona at Indy. Indy seven point favorites.

[Chad Millman]

So I almost bet Indy and the reason I didn't because I don't know what Arizona is going to look like after that meltdown, I really don't. I think they are in a really weird spot. The reason I didn't bet Indy is it just felt like a I have not believed in Indy all year. They have now proven to me I need to believe in them somewhat to overcorrect to where after not believing in them all year I'm now laying a full touchdown with them. Felt like too much. I couldn't, I can't keep going against them but I'm not going to lay a full touchdown. So that's why I stayed away from that one.

[Damanze]

Next Rams at Baltimore Baltimore 7 1/2 point dogs.

[Chad Millman]

I stared long and hard at the Rams minus seven and a half. I trust Stafford.

[Damanze]

They the if Rush is playing. If Lamar Jackson's not playing then yeah.

[Chad Millman]

Hold on real quick. Just to correct myself on something I said New England had the extra rest. They played Sunday night, not Thursday night so they didn't have extra rest. My apologies. It's the the, the Rams had the reason I was thinking New England did was because I knew Friday's show Wilds was so happy but it wasn't because of the Patriots because of Mac Jones in the Niners Rams game. I stared long and hard at the Rams here. They need the game. They do have the extra rest. I obviously trust Stafford. Baltimore has been just a train wreck but I just can't lay more than a touchdown with a road team going west to east against a team that is desperate and so I, I had the Rams in, I took them out. I had the Rams and I took them out. I then you know, I at no, I can't bet you. You're not allowed right now to bet Baltimore until Baltimore shows some type of pulse or Lamar comes back. Just betting Baltimore to me is crazy and I just couldn't lay the full at six and a half the Rams would be on my ticket. But a road dog against a desperate team favorite, pardon me, laying more than a touchdown. Can't do it. Next one.

[Damanze]

Seattle at Jacksonville. Jacksonville is one point favorites.

[Chad Millman]

I think this line's perfect. I think this truly is a coin flip game. I think Seattle's a little better but Jacksonville's at home. It's also a super, you know it's the west coast going east and it's a long flight. Jacksonville a bit of a short week, emotional win. So I it's to me the lines exactly right. There's a 5050 game.

[Damanze]

Next Tennessee at Vegas. Vegas four point or four point favorites.

[Chad Millman]

Yeah, I mean I obviously I, I, I swore on your Life Demons A that I wouldn't bet the Titans again as long as Brian Callahan was the coach. And the Raiders have just been as bad as any team in the league. So there's just a stone stairs.

[Damanze]

Nasty game. Nasty game. Oh, next you got Cincinnati at Green bay. Green Bay's 14 point favorites.

[Chad Millman]

14 point favorites. I14 is just too many. But obviously they're coming off a buy since he's starting a quarterback they signed three days ago since he looks terrible. But 14 is too many points. And. And you know, Flacco is going to just be chucking it deep to Chase and Higgins. Just too many points. But I'm obviously not betting. I'm not betting on Cincinnati, so that's.

[Damanze]

I'm excited to see what Flacco and Jamar Chase looks like. I gotta be honest.

[Chad Millman]

You're gonna throw it deep. Throw a deep playbook. The real question for that game, though, is, pal, can they protect him? Yeah, like the Cincy offensive line has been bad. Can they protect him? All right, last one. We're not going with run a business.

[Simone Boyce]

And not thinking about radio. Think again. Because more people are listening to the radio and iHeart today than they were 20 years ago. And only iHeart broadcast radio connects with more Americans than TV, digital, social, any other media, even twice as many teens than TikTok. And that reach means everything. Just think about the universal marketing formula. The number of consumers who hear your message times the response rate equals the results. Now let's get those results growing for your business. Radio's here now more than ever, and iheart's leading the way. Think radio can help your business. Think iheart streaming, podcasting and radio where the reach is real. Let us show [e-mail] that's iheartadvertising.com or call 844-844. Iheart one more time. Just call 844-844-Iheart and get radio working for you.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, this is Matt Jones. I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining, and twice a week, that is exactly what you're gonna get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. Looks like something that should not be sold.

[Commercial Announcer]

Oh, my.

[Matt Jones]

So that was my other big Colts takeaway. Have you sold that?

[Chad Millman]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Might want to go back to the Colts stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah, I thought the shape we had with Pretzels was working pretty well for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him. I would listen to NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Frank on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Dr. J]

But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate from is what is going to keep you growing. And that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner. And on my podcast, just heal with Dr. J, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity, healing is a journey and wholeness is the destination.

[Simone Boyce]

I'm gonna walk away feeling very healed and feeling like, yes, I'm gonna continue my healing journey and I'm gonna get some keys from you.

[Simone Boyce]

I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Bright side podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian World cup champion and podcast host Ashlyn Harris.

[Ashlyn Harris]

My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues and I was like, this is it for me. It's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey, it's the people, it's the failures. It's the heartache.

[Simone Boyce]

[Damanze]

Monday Night Football Buffalo at Atlanta, Atlanta's four Point Dogs.

[Chad Millman]

Atlanta's been a Jekyll and Hyde team so far this year. I feel like we know who Buffalo is. They're going to be an excellent offense and a shaky defense. But I, I think come Monday I might bet Atlanta plus the 4 because I think Atlanta has will have the ability to score on Buffalo. But it just Atlanta +4 was what I where I was leaning. But again, I decided this week I am going to ignore some of my general rules and what I'm going to lean into is do I trust this team's quarterback and or am I up against a team that I think is a mess. And the first pick.

[Damanze]

Yeah, I was about to say, like.

[Chad Millman]

Involves a little bit of that. The next few picks have all of it. Let's. You know what?

[Damanze]

You know what?

[Chad Millman]

I just hold on a second here. Just hold on a second here. I am. I'm doing something I've never done. This is how we're going to get.

[Damanze]

The Mojo back going six picks.

[Chad Millman]

Nope. I'm only going to go with quarterbacks I trust. I am. I am. I'm doing something that I should not do. I was going to have Pittsburgh minus five and a half against Cleveland, and then I was like, you know what? I don't want to lay more than a field goal with Aaron Rodgers. I just don't. I know they're coming off a buy, but I don't. With that Cleveland defensive line, I don't want to lay those points. I'm putting in Rams minus seven and a half at Baltimore here. I don't care. They're going west to east. The Rams need it. They are the team on extra rest. I trust Stafford. The Ravens are a mess. Lamar is not playing. We are pivoting. Sorry to our graphics folks. This is unfair to them. It's asking them to adjust on the fly. But I am I executive decision. This is. This is how we're going to go. Five and. Oh, pal. All right. While I was talking through that Rams pick, I'm like, man, the Rams have to win. They gave a game away. The Ravens are just desperate to get to the buy, and I'm staring at betting on Aaron Rodgers laying more than a field goal in a divisional game. Not doing it. Rams -7 and a half at Baltimore is the pick. We are not doing Pittsburgh -5 and a half against Cleveland. Are you okay with that?

[Damanze]

I mean, that's against my team, but, yeah, I think that's pretty fair if Cooper Rush is in the game. The Rams. The Rams.

[Chad Millman]

It hasn't been good.

[Damanze]

Yeah.

[Chad Millman]

All right, next one.

[Damanze]

You got Dallas -3 at Carolina.

[Chad Millman]

Yep. Another road favorite again. You got it. We get. This is a slump bus situation. I'm going against some of my general gambling rules because I believe Dak has been awesome. The Panthers are just totally inept for entire quarters or halves at a time. I think this could be Bryce. Bryce's last start, and I think the Cowboys offense can cook. And Dak has always cooked bad teams. He's 33, 18 and 2 against the spread in his career against teams under.500. Carolina is no good. Carolina got their win for October last month. There'll be a one win a month team. I should say last week they got one win in September, they got their October win last week. Dallas minus three next.

[Damanze]

Oh geez. Tampa Bay minus three versus San Francisco.

[Chad Millman]

Bake show the N again. The Niners. I don't think Mack is going to play quite that well again. I also think Tampa's. I don't think the Niners have the secondary to deal with Tampa's receivers. I think that Tampa's injuries on the offensive line, I don't know that San Francisco's got the defensive personnel to really exploit it. I believe now I'd love this more obviously at two and a half than at three because Baker loves game winning field goals. But I'll lay the three points. I believe in the Bucks. I am impressed by the Niners, but I believe in the Bucks. They're at home. They are laying just three points. We're going to go with Baker Next.

[Damanze]

Kansas City -2 taken on Detroit.

[Chad Millman]

All right, so this is. There are two reasons for this. Three, the Lions top two corners are out for this game. That's noteworthy. And I think the Chiefs offense, the only real good thing to come of that Jacksonville game is the offense started humming a bit. The Chiefs obviously are the desperate team in this or the more desperate team in this. But third, and most importantly, I believe the entire general public is going to be all over Detroit and I think there are going to be a lot of get even on the day by betting on Detroit on Sunday Night Football. And I think the Chiefs just find a way. I was shocked by this line when it came out Monday or Tuesday. We talked about it. Detroit is atop everyone's power rankings. The Chiefs just had a mortifying loss and Kansas, and it's not like, well, Kansas City is never going to be a dog at home. They've been a dog at home this year already. Twice in fact. And so this is. Wait, was the Ravens game in Kansas City? I don't even remember the. The. I know they were a dog to the Eagles. I think they were also a dog at home to the Ravens. Yeah, that game was in Kansas City. It was. So they could have been a dog here. They're not. And by the way, speaking of LeBatard, kind of impulsive on this, at the end of the show with LeBatard, I said in passing, I think Kansas City is going to beat Detroit. And he said, you do. I like he was shocked by that. And so I was like, yeah, we can bet it if you want. I was like, Kansas City's the favorite. If you want to just bet straight up winner, we can bet it. And so he's like, okay, yeah, whatever you want to bet. And the producers like throughout, like he hosts my show, I host his show, something like that. I was like, nah, we're just betting cash. So I may or may not have bet Dan LeBatard $5,000 straight up in this game, which would allow me, if I wanted demanze to since I I have the Chiefs just to win. I could put a little bit on Detroit plus the points and then a Chief's 1 point win. I win both sides. That would be great.

[Damanze]

Will not be doing that.

[Chad Millman]

Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Chiefs minus two. All right, last one.

[Damanze]

Chicago plus four at Washington.

[Chad Millman]

Yeah, Chicago off a buy. This is the most important game of Caleb's career up to this point and I think that Ben Johnson, you know, has had two weeks to prepare for this moment and I believe that they can win. And if they don't win demand, I think they certainly can keep it within a field goal. So I am going with four favorites. I am going with five quarterbacks that I believe in. Matt Stafford and the Rams minus seven and a half. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys minus three. Baker Mayfield and the Bucks minus three. Kansas City and the Chiefs minus two. Caleb and the Bears plus four. I said Kansas City in the Chiefs. Mahomes in the Chiefs. I am telling you right now on Chad Millman Sharp versus Square. I am undoubtedly on the square side of Rams, Cowboys and maybe Tampa. I do not care. I have to stop overthinking this. I have to find a way to shake the snow globe a bit and get us our first five and a week of the year. This is how I'm doing it.

And twice a week, that is exactly what you're gonna get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold.

[Commercial Announcer]

Oh, my.

[Matt Jones]

So that was my other big Colts takeaway. They sold that?

[Chad Millman]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Might want to go back to the Colts stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well.

[Greg Rosenthal]

It's worked for generations.

[Matt Jones]

We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73.

I'm Simone Boyce host of the Bright side podcast. And on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian World cup champion and podcast host Ashlyn Harris.

[Ashlyn Harris]

My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues and I was like, this is it for me. It's the pursuit of greatness, the journey, it's the people, it's the failures, it's the heartache.

[Simone Boyce]

Listen to the Bright side on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Chad Millman]

All right, Damanze, let's get to your teaser, my friend.

[Damanze]

So this is a three team. Oh, well, I guess.

[Chad Millman]

No, let's do last week's.

[Damanze]

Last week's is a three team eight point teaser at plus 100. We had Miami plus seven. I got, you know, I got a lot of stuff about that pick from producers, you, my guys at work, New England's plus 16. Kansas City plus four and a half. That was the.

[Chad Millman]

I mean this was a true. Never a doubter demanze. Miami wins the game outright. I'm sorry.

[Dr. J]

No.

[Damanze]

They lost by one.

[Chad Millman]

Had a big lead. Had a big lead, ends up losing. But they're covering your seven the entire time. Yeah. New England wins the game outright. They're covering the entire time. Kansas City loses, but was covering your teaser 90% of that game. And you know, I understand you can be like, how is it never a doubter? They. You're getting four and a half. They won by four. There was. Kansas City was a huge favorite to cover your tease the entire game. I gave it a C minus. It's. It was a winning teaser. Great job by you.

[Damanze]

Thank you so much.

[Chad Millman]

This next one that you're. Well, I'll let you do it. Go.

[Damanze]

It's a three team eight point teaser plus 100. I'm teasing Seattle up to plus 9. And I'm teasing Chicago up to plus 12. And I'm teasing Detroit up to plus 10. Um, yeah, I feel very strongly about these Detroit. I, I think it's going to be a. That's going to be a game. Chicago 12 points. Come on. This is the revenge game. And then Seattle plus 90 inch Jacksonville. I think Seattle might just win that game anyways. Um, but yeah, that is week six teaser. What grade are we?

[Chad Millman]

This is an A plus.

[Damanze]

A plus. Is that the first A plus of the year?

[Chad Millman]

I think it is. You're getting every key number your. It's three games. That is very Difficult to see any of those teams. Maybe Chicago. But it's hard to see them getting blown out. Yeah, Jacksonville's not blowing out Seattle. I don't think Detroit right now is blow out a bull the way they're playing. And Chicago there's has no business getting blown out with a week to prepare. So I, I love it. I, I, I love it. I think that's a great one, pal.

[Damanze]

Thank you Pops. We ride.

[Chad Millman]

All right, let's, let's keep going. Real quick.

[Damanze]

Do you TD Genie. Are we doing TD Genie? Are we going straight to the office?

[Chad Millman]

I'll do listen I'll do Xavier worthy. They were worthy at plus 125 with the injuries to the lion secondary. Guys. Xavier worthy. TD touchdown Genie. I like. We didn't get our offer last week.

[Damanze]

So we fell short on the offer. The Cam scatter Boo touchdown did not hit but the Jackson dart over 24 and a half rushing yards did hit. So yeah we we missed on the offer. This this week's is we're going we're fading some of the worst past defense defenses in the NFL. So first off we got Stafford over 260 and a half yards and Love over 239 and a half yards at plus 2:50.

[Chad Millman]

I'm sorry to tell you I have to turn this one down because. No, it's just because I think that these if these games could be blowouts, they might just be running.

[Damanze]

Running.

[Chad Millman]

Yeah. However, there is an alternate offer that I am interested in.

[Damanze]

Yep. So we got Micah plus Rashawn Gary both for over a half sack at plus 2 10. Are we you loving that one?

[Chad Millman]

I'm doing it. That that that packers defense with something to prove against a Bengals O line and old man Joe Flacco. I will take that offer. That that offer is locked in. The offer's been highly profitable. Hopefully we get back on the right track. All right, I gotta run. Great job. Thank you to Volume. Thank you to Blue Duck. Thank you to Boost Mobile. Thank you to Hard Rock. Thank you of course to our friends at Zen. Enjoy this week in a football. I will see you guys on this show on Tuesday. See you on. First things first throughout the week.
