I took it out of the program, fired up. We have to get to, we got to revisit our market ratings. We have to hit on at length, the news coming out of the association that they have now, if you missed it, partnered up with the country to limit some of the menus that are going to be out there, including the highly wagered on, very, very, very popular to win the opening tip wager, which we can discuss at length coming up here in a little bit. But I know Hoopshead, like myself, we were just talking a little basketball with Will Hill. I know my guy Nick Whalen is a little excited for that as well, but he's also excited because his Brewers, of course, on to the World Series. I do have a question though. So you mentioned Yingling's last night, is that, so that's beer, but I've never had it. But isn't it, I looked it up. Is it a Pennsylvania beer? What's the tide of the Milwaukee stuff?

Nick Whalen (1:01)

I just know tied in Milwaukee. It's just what happened to be in my downstairs ridge last night, JVT. I'm not picky. You know, whatever is available to me, you got to go to it in a spot like that. When you go down for nothing early in the game, you know, trying to spark a rally. You know, I was thinking I would take the night off, just relax. But I had to have a couple of rally beers, so I ended up paying off. And yeah, I'm not like a beer snob by any means. I don't know a whole lot about beer, but there's something with Yingling where I think it just, it just broke into the Wisconsin market like in the last year or so. So you're starting to start to see it become a little bit more available. And, you know, that's what we went with and it led to a Brewers win. So I might have to carry that to the World Series.

Jonathan Von Tobel (1:37)

I got to check this out. Last winter was the winter of Malort here at the Vegas Stats and Information Network.

I purchased a bottle because I just discovered what it was and made a lot of people drink it. And I'm going to get another bottle this Christmas, but maybe getting some Yingling as well to try out. All right, let's talk a little National Football League, get some of the bets out of you and we'll get to some of the NBA stuff. Nick, by the way, did submit for our NBA betting guide. So if you want to check out his bets, we don't get to them, go to vsin.com, check it out. Nick did a tremendous job. The analysis and his three wagers are absolutely fantastic. The guide itself is fantastic. vsin.com/subscribe, 9.99 for 30 days. You could buy the guide, all the cart for 10 more dollars, but why would you win $10 less, you get 30 days of access and everything we have to offer, including the guide. All right, Saints and Giants. Let's talk about this. We haven't talked much about this game on this program outside of Stormy's love for the New Orleans Giants this weekend. How do you see this game between these two?

Nick Whalen (2:26)

Yeah, I think it's one of the more difficult games to assess from a side perspective on the board.

For the second straight week, I feel like we're being asked to take the New York Giants in a spot where I still just don't really know if I'm comfortable doing that. I don't know what to expect from this team. Week to week. I think they were obviously very lucky to escape with a tie last week against the commanders. And I still don't feel like Jamis is playing all that well. And then you look up and it's like, all right, three touchdowns, 300 plus yards. They are struggling to run the ball, but my play in Saints Giants is on the over 45 and a half. Doesn't look like we'll have any weather concerns with this game outdoors at the Meadowlands.

First and foremost, the Saints defense, JVT has clearly established itself as an inner circle, bad defense in the NFL. I know they played a lower scoring game last week against Minnesota, but that's a bad offense. It's a Minnesota team that fumbled twice inside the red zone. One of those ended up being returned for a score. It's a defense that's 28th in EPA per play, 31st in success rate. They're bad against the past. They're even worse against the run. So I think this is a spot where the Giants who have not been running the ball very efficiently can get that going. And on the other side, the Saints offense has been a little down these last two weeks. They kind of ran into a buzzsaw with the Pennix, Atlanta Falcons, and then obviously played a great Minnesota defense, but I don't really think all that highly of the back seven for that Giants defense. We saw them get shredded by Jaden Daniels, both as a passer and a runner last week. I think Tyler Shuck, more mobile than we give him credit for. I think his legs are important in this game, and this is one that I think will be played in the mid to high 20s. So the over for me is the play in Saints Giants. Both of these teams, by the way, very good on third down in New Orleans, one of the best red zone teams in the NFL, 13 of 16 converting touchdowns.
