In context
Billfantasy guys all over the place in this game. It's in Cincinnati.
BillThe Bengals just continue to be the sexiest offseason team. Everybody's just all in. People love them.
BillAnd everybody loves the Bucs at the ringer, too. I heard your NFC South pod. You and I talked about it. You had the NFC South when we did over -unders.
BillEverybody going 7 -10. I made an impassioned case why I thought Tampa was great value. even if you look this weekend Tampa over 8.5 so just to go 9 -8 in a shitty division it was still pretty good odds I think it was like plus 110 just for them to win 9 games I'm in on Tampa I was psyched when DeBundo was also in on them because I was waiting for him to make some long impassioned case why
Billthey were fool's gold but I'm like him I like the front 7 I think they're going to score I think Baker was hurt last year I'm not scared of the Bulls thing yet they usually start out fast and then fade as the year goes along. And I don't know. I just like this spot for them.
BillSo I went Bengals minus three was my pick.
SalAll right. Bengals minus three. Now I lost this. I said Bengals minus three. It's three and a half. So we split it.
