This is VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

This is VSiN's Pro Football Tailgate Show. Only on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Pauly Howard (1:17)

All right, here we go. Week six, another London game. Seven early, three late. We'll get to the contests.

Picks with the guru.

Hello, Nesson, Masson, Markey. Sirius XM Channel 189 The only pregame show you need to watch. Tell your family, tell your friends. Apologies for the voice that's going around. Pauly Howard, Mitch Moss. How you doing, kid? Let's do it.

Mitch Moss (1:40)

I'm okay. More importantly, you're better obviously back, huh?

Pauly Howard (1:43)

We're hanging in, man.

Mitch Moss (1:44)

You got the goods?

Pauly Howard (1:45)

Got the goods.

Mitch Moss (1:46)

Okay, you were giving the goods back here in time then for the show? All right, I like to hear it.

Pauly Howard (1:49)

That's the good stuff.

Mitch Moss (1:50)

Busy show today. I can't wait to get into the contest show coming up in about an hour.

Pauly Howard (1:55)

Oh, unprecedented.

Mitch Moss (1:57)

Multiple things were unprecedented last night on the show here with Matt Brown, Derek Stephens and Jeff Benson. So these numbers have been available all week, Pauly, and how about some of them were there still remaining today? Like I thought for sure, a couple of things here, early on going back to like last Sunday night, Monday morning, I thought we would have money for the Giants, nope. Saints still favored in that game.

I thought that a couple of other things here would take place tonight, like the Packers would go closer to three than Pick'em. They're still like one, one and a half against the Cowboys. So it's like a ton of times when we come in here, we got, oh, there's a zillion things going on with the point spread. The biggest thing is what happened in Carolina and Philadelphia, because obviously the Hurts news. And I don't think, I don't want to be on Carolina in this game.

Pauly Howard (2:47)

Yeah, most used play percentage wise in the history of the Circa Millions Contest. Philly minus one and a half, Carolina now laying three and a half of the game with the Hurts news. And no Barkley, no Bigsby, no Shipley. It will be Pierce. They picked up Jaden Blue.

And then Schefter changed up.

No IR. Now it's going to be IR. So he's out at least four weeks. They don't have him for next Monday night showdown against the Cowboys. I'll ask again, who the hell is going to win this division? Maybe the Giants can do this. I mean, this is up for grabs now. And I know charge is high on Matt McKee if he can play well. But they're 26th that pass defense.

The offense has had issues all year. The OC is on the hot seat. And now your star quarterback's out.

Mitch Moss (3:42)

What if I tell you this was an upgrade?

Pauly Howard (3:43)

Oh, I can't get there.

Mitch Moss (3:45)

You can't get there despite us absolutely blasting Jalen Hurts and his passing attack over the last year and a half.

Pauly Howard (3:51)

Well, our guys open, can they protect? And also, I am only going on a couple of week 18 games that have been meaningless in the guy's career.

Mitch Moss (3:59)

What if Jalen Hurts is not very well liked in the locker room?

Pauly Howard (4:02)

That could be.

Mitch Moss (4:03)

I've heard some rumblings. I don't know if anybody's true or not. Let's say it is. And this is kind of like a B12 shot for everybody else around. And they just step up and they realize like, hey, I like this guy better.
