Grant and Danny
Confidence Points Picks
Hey Mike Villeini here, host of Cash The Ticket alongside my partner Jim Costa. It's really simple.

We've got a lot to get to as it pertains to making NFL picks, the commanders and the Giants getting you ready for Nat's baseball. So unfortunately, we'll keep this short and sweet because I'd like to talk about this for four hours, but be remiss if we didn't get to it at all. Mm hmm. Jeff passing and his ESPN crew broke this last night. The Minnesota Twins released catcher Derek Bender. Their sixth round pick this year because he was tipping minor league opponents off on the pitches that were coming as the catcher. He was telling the opponent what pitches were coming and the report is when you dig in on this. All of his teammates are essentially surprised. It's like really good dude. We didn't think he would do anything like this. But it sounds like he was annoyed and over the season. Like he just didn't want to make the playoffs. It was a postseason ramifications type game. He wanted the season to be over. Yeah. That's the allegation. And so he was telling them, hey fastball slider like he's crashed Davis or something trying to make his picture. Try to teach nuclear lesson. So they gave up like a four run first inning. They ended up losing the game getting eliminated. But they immediately cut the guy who gets his signing bonus anyway. And if the allegations are true, it's going to be hard for him to ever get another gig. So this is astounding because it's professional baseball. I have been there playing summer ball in the dog days where there are no playoff ramifications. There's no point to it. You already had your spring season. Now you played 50 more games in the summertime and you just want to go home. You just want to have a week or two before school starts and you don't give a damn. Like it's miserable. It's a slog. That is professional baseball. That's pro ball. Like dude. You just got drafted. Come on, man. Sixth round. You just got your money. You're going to get your way to the big leagues. You get your one opportunity here. What are you going to do with it? You're going to tip pitches. Oh, that's tough. Never heard anything. Can't do it. It's time for our player to lock in on. We do this each and every Friday before the commanders play your player to lock in on presented by Baldino's lock and key, your one stop shop for auto keys and fobs. Visit Baldino's.com. I'm going to mix it up. Last week it was Jayden Daniels this week. It's Michael Davis. Why? He's replacing a manual forbs or part of the crew that's going to us. I'll cheat a little bit. I'll say Davis. I'll say it. The point is it's no forbs. Somebody needs to step up in that secondary to contain passing games and that is who I'm looking at this week. I'll say Terry McClorne who caught just two passes for 17 yards, one for 11, one for six, four targets. One was out of bounds. One was way too far downfield and he wasn't able to catch it. Got to get him more looks earlier in the game. I don't want his first catch coming with three minutes to play. That's my main priority and he's just got to be much more a factor this week. If that, let's get to our confidence points picks on Grant and Danny. Hey Mike Villetti here host of cash to ticket alongside my partner Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcast claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcast that claim they hit 80% of the games when really they just lose like most of us? Think cash to tickets the spot for you. We're real. We're transparent. We're having a hell of a good time with it and we sit there and we're there for the sweat with you guys. We're just trying to figure it out just like you. Follow and listen to cash to ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. We'll go rapid fire. He'll get a update on the standings from Darris who will soon be taking very embarrassing photos for losing last year. We'll also need your help in the weeks ahead to pick our loser prize. We normally like to dull that out and figure it out before the end of September. Darris, have week one treat us week one. Everybody separated by one point. Danny's in first place with eight points. Grant, you are in second place with seven points Ryan with six points and I am pulling up the rear with five points. Some things stay the same, I suppose, with all due respect, my good pal. All right. Darris, this is your week. I can just feel it. Let's go in the order of the standings. Danny, you get us started five point play Panthers are terrible. They are four and a half point dogs at home. The chargers will cover minus four and a half. Five point play for me. I like the Las Vegas Raiders eight and a half to cover against the Baltimore Ravens. This feels to me like a smell test. It's not. Let me see this, Jen. Hold on. Smelling the smell test here for the Ravens, Danny is, I feel like this is a ground in pound. Let's be physical. Let's both run it a lot kind of game, maybe lowish scoring and the Raiders while they lose will keep it at one possession for Antonio Pierce. My five point play, I'm like Danny, I have the chargers at minus four and a half. I think the Panthers really stink. And again, I think that's going to be the big headline going into this next Monday. I have Dallas minus six and a half. I think that New Orleans was fraudulent last week because I got to beat up on that terrible Panther scene that you guys talking about and Dallas Rose people at home. Four point play. I don't think the Falcons can do anything right now. I think Kirk Cousins is not himself in Philadelphia. They're favored by six and a half, which is a little bit much for me, but I think the Eagles cover it. Yeah, I'm worried about Kirk go and that Achilles, I don't have that game here. I've got the Rams plus one and a half. This is a game that normally you're going to get wrong if you take the team catching points because it seems like Vegas though, something we don't like the odds makers are on this. They're Arizona as a favorite over the Rams. Seems very, very strange. Weird. So you're going, yeah, I'm going to go against them and normally you lose, but I haven't learned that lesson yet. Rams plus one and a half because I think they're better than the card two smell tests in a row right there. I love it. No, the smell test here would actually be to roll with the Cardinals, right? Because I guess you're right. The public is on the Rams, but I digress my four point play. I have the Cowboys minus six and a half at home. I think the Saints aren't very good. And again, as Dara said, they are very good at home as well. I think back in the boys role. My four point play. I am taking that chargers team for the same reasons that everybody else did. The Panthers think I think I'm the only one that doesn't have that game. That's outrageous. It's free points. Dave Canalas. Let's do this thing. I need the Panthers to pull off a big upset three point play Danny. I hate this pick, but I'm so angry and furious at Cincinnati for making us look like horses asses last week. They're going to play Kansas City. I know there's a rivalry. I know it's really usually playing tough, but I think Cincinnati sucks right now. Come back and see me in a month where they don't, but they're playing right now. Give me the Chiefs minus five and a half at home, even though they hate cover. I don't have a rival here. My three pointer called me Brad Beale plus six and a half. The New Orleans Saints cover the number against the Dallas Cowboys. Here we go directly against you boys. It has been like, I don't want to say I saw it was eight years since a team that one is decisively as they did in the first week was this big of an underdog in the second week. So I'll take those points. You're going to regret because I'm the best there's ever been firing him out and run boys run. I'm kicking in the bread bag, picking out no, well, my three point, no, no idea. My three point plan, the Eagles minus six and a half against the Falcons. I'm kind of like Danny on this one. I don't love Kirk cousins right now. I think he's very hurt and I really like the Eagles. I think they're going to really kind of get the run game going against Atlanta and I could see them winning by maybe two touchdowns. Three point play. I don't think Indianapolis is going to do this very cleanly, but I do think they will ultimately win with that minus three over Green Bay Packers with Malik Willis at quarterback. Some bunnies. We're near the rim. Let's shoot long twos here. This one here's a little bit steep for me again, but I think people are over reacting to the fact the Vikings beat the brakes off the Giants. I think the Giants suck the 49ers don't they're on the road. It's a five and a half point spread. It's gets a little bit more for my blood than I'd like, but I do think the Niners win by a touchdown. The commanders. Here we go. One and a half. Here we go. Against the New York football Giants. Somebody was going to do it. That's a field goal win off of the leg of who's the guy they signed a kick Austin cyber game winning field goal at the horn, Jaden Daniels, first game winning drive field goal good from 39. That's a 2017 thriller for the first commanders. Yeah. Let's pipe down that music there real quick. My two point play at the Kansas City Chiefs minus five and a half, they're going up against the Bengals. I'm not a believer at this point in time, they're going to be missing T Higgins again. Like at least it's leaning towards that way. I think the cheaters, the better team, they're the Super Bowl favorites for a reason. I will never bet against Patrick Momes division around rematch in motor city. I got Tampa Bay covering that seven and a half. Don't think they'll win, but I think Tampa Bay is for real, even though they got to beat up on Washington last week, I think they'll cover the seven and a half against the lines buying in on Baker and the boys, Baker and the boys and for one point from the free throw line. Here's Danny. I don't like that. I've got five favorites this week, but I do give me the Colts minus three against the Packers. I just don't trust Malik Willis and the Packers offense to do well. Anything. I just realized I have four underdogs this week. We're going New England Patriots late. They are catching three and a half. That five? No, that's four. Okay. There you go. There you go. There you go. Look at the pulse. It got a club. I don't know, man. I honestly, I'll be honest. I should have spent more time on this. I did it in the break right now. New England plus three and a half. So we're going to see where this gets us. This is a little bit of a feel. I got a new ego. I like that defense against Tino in Seattle. The gut check. Well, dearest, I told you to pipe down that music last time. Pipe it back up. I've got the commander. Look at this first time in conference for history that I have predicted the commanders to win as favorites. I think they win. You have to win. If you lose, I'm out. Who's your guy? I'm your guy. All right. Well, did you catch the if they lose? I'm out. That was a lot. We visit that in due time, dearest, my one point play is I'm taking a shot on Tennessee covering three and a half. I don't think the jets are going to play the cleanest game play yet. I don't think they're quite ready to play a clean game, especially on the road. So I got the Tennessee being frisky and staying within that three and a half. I dearest, make sure we post that to Facebook before the one o'clock kicks so everyone can track it throughout the week. I always enjoy those funny tweets. I'm getting as people are joining on us Facebook.com slash Grant and Danny.

It'll be over the first, overcast the first pitch 77 degrees here as the game will tip off. Yeah, we'll first pitch in about 30 minutes here, temperature will dip into the low 70s. Long time meteorologist. I love it. Temperature will dip into the low 70s, but no precipitation and that's part here in the Navy Yard. You and top per shut have been running this town on the weather front for many a year at this point. All right. Final predictions for the commanders and the Giants. I need a score. I need a winner and I need a player prediction. At 16 Washington 12, an extra point is missed and a field goal is missed as well. They try to go for two and don't get it. The offense is anemic and bad. I think Daniel Jones throws for 240 and a touchdown and leads multiple scoring drives. The MVP is Devin Singletary. Okay. I like that. I'm going to up my prediction. I already said 20 to 17. I actually, I went back to the, I looked at the newspaper from Monday again. I wanted to make sure I had all the details right. Washington actually won the game 23 to 20 over the giant. So it was a field goal at the horn by Austin Sibert, but it is going to be a 23 to 20 win Jaden Daniels rushes for 91 yards in the game. Brian Robinson rushes for 67 yards in the win for Washington and they get themselves a field goal late in the fourth quarter. They are one in one and we're coming in here and the fans are fired up going into week three and a Monday night matchup in Cincinnati. He's on a day against the bangles. Enjoy your weekends.

We got lacrosse and another soccer game. So actually, yeah, five soccer games for four, four, anymore numbers. When it's, no, it's four. Okay. That's it for Darris and Ryan.
