Hey Mike Felenny here, host the cash to ticket alongside my partner Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcast claiming there are a bunch of pro bettors 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 the Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. We're going to go calm or concerned Danny. If you are calm, you still think this team's going to make the playoffs. There's nothing to worry about just yet. If you are concerned, you don't see a renaissance coming after a slow start. What's up, dad? Calm or concerned about the San Francisco 49ers. They are two and three. They play tomorrow night at Seattle and Thursday football. Little bit concerned. This is still a team with a high ceiling. The track record is there. So, you know what, I'll rule them out at your own peril, but this McCaffrey. It's in both legs now and it's worse than we thought. Kind of it just feels like one of those snowballs rolling. They're banged up. They can't quite get right. Nothing is that easy for Brock Purd anymore. I still think they end up having a nice year, but it's not what we're used to. So, that's why I'm saying concern. They pretty much got to bed when 12, 13 games. I don't think that's the case this year. YouTube audience and Danny, I want you to look at my hand. What's it doing? You're holding it about a foot and a half and be two feet above the table. It's flat. You could balance something on it. It's still. It's not shaking. Not shaking. Hand, never shakes. Billy Costigan style. Billy Costigan. The San Francisco 49ers are just fine. They're in a division where they are one game back of three in two Seattle, who they play this week where they win at three and three. They will be in first place in the NFC West, likely to start next season pending the Arizona result. The 49ers are fine. They are super banged up and they are a one-point loss that they shouldn't have lost against the Cardinals away from still without a bunch of their best players on the offensive side of the ball for durations of this season, now being at the top of the division. I know it's tough. Even with Seattle, Kansas City coming up Dallas before the buy, but they will eventually get this thing turned around tough schedule. Look at their stretch run bears, Rams, dolphins, Cardinals in that stretch. I think they're going to be okay. This is a playoff team. I am calm on San Francisco. Calm were concerned about their division rival. The team that actually got their only win against the LA Rams. They have a buy week this week and then they play the loss of Vegas Raiders on the other side with hopefully Cooper Cup returning. I am concerned about the Rams. I know they'll get Cooper Cup back in week seven and they have one game left to play maybe without Cup before he comes back against possibly Minnesota, but they're not very good. They're one and four. They were so lucky to beat San Francisco. They lost to the Lions by six. They lost to the Cardinals by 31. Then they shocked the Niners with that miracle fourth quarter when we were in since watching in our nice suite at that beautiful hotel. What was that hotel? The hotel, Covington, the hotel, Covington, Troy, Aikman and Joe Buck, although not in their room, that would have been weird. The bears, they lost pretty handily. The Packers. Now they've lost to their one and four. I think they beat the Raiders two and four and then they've got Vikings Seahawks back to back. They're probably going to be two and five and I just think that's too big a hole. Yeah. Concern. Although they're they've got one blowout loss here in Arizona, week two, they looked horrendous. Something else has been a one score game that they've been in. That's as a really banged up group. The thing is, I don't think you get unbanged up. I don't think all of a sudden they'll just going to get healthy overnight. Cooper cups coming back. Yes. For now, it just feels like one of those against snowball rolling in the wrong direction type groups where they don't have enough talent in a lot of places and it's Matt Stafford and Sean McVay's genius kind of keeping them afloat. I don't think they have it this year. Call were concerned after two weeks. They were once America's darlings since then they were over three and the loss are starting quarterback. Saints there are two and three and they host Tampa Bay this weekend. Concern. This is who I thought they were coming into the season. Their head coach was the guy I thought it was going to get fired early on, right? Dennis Allen, but now it was sudden. Dennis Allen will be Robert Salah. Yeah. I thought he was going to be the first to be fired. That's the thing I would have bet on if I were to have wagered on that, but they came out scoring 45 a game through two weeks. And that's a distant memory. Isn't it? I don't think they've scored 45 combined. Maybe they have over the last three weeks total 49 total through three game. They have been a dramatically different team over the last three, requesting violently to the mean. Now, without Derek Carr, I just don't see it for them. There are two teams that are at a minimum that are better than them in the division. They play the box in the Broncos in the next 10 days. I think it is. Let me see here. The second game is seven. Oh, sorry. Eight days. They have two games in the next eight days. So I'm sure that's good. They will lose both of them without Derek Carr, at least one of them. But if that's the case and you're talking about three and five, I am concerned. The bucks are good. The Falcons have trended up in the NFC South New Orleans is in big, big trouble. Call more concerned about our division rival here in the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles who are coming off their bi-week to host the lowly Cleveland Browns this weekend. I'm calm. They're a sick one, Barkley pitch and catch a catch that he makes a hundred times out of a hundred that my six year old makes off 96 times out of a hundred. They dropped that pass, which will never happen again away from being three and one and having beaten Atlanta or just a couple of normal tush pushes or play calls away from being three and one. Despite having a rash of injuries, they've got an easy schedule here coming up Cleveland and the Giants. I think we're going to look up and thought off is going to be, you know, seven and four trending in the right direction. They're not great. They're not a juggernaut by any stretch imagination, but people, you know, dig in their grave and write in their epitaph too soon. So I'm going to say calm in that I think they are going to be a playoff caliber team when it's all set and done, but I feel about Philly today, what I have felt about them since the season began, which is their, their frauds a little bit. I just don't think they're that good. And I'm not going to think that until I see a lot more deposits. Danny mentioned in their favor that they could be three and one and that's fine. I could also point out that they easily could have lost the Packers shoot out when Green Bay had a couple receivers slipping and falling that were wide open that would have scored touchdowns. They could have easily lost their win against New Orleans. Oh, by the way, 15 to 12 when two defenders ran into each other on a mesh concept to give Dallas Goddard 70 yards in the game winning drive. So sorry about your luck. I mean, they could be on four just as easily as they could be three and one. The Browns, they should beat the Browns are terrible. They play the Giants. That'll actually be a tight game. I think they lose to the Bengals. I think the Jaguars is tough, but eventually it's Cowboys, commanders, Ravens. There's enough stinkers in here that they'll be fine and they'll get to nine maybe 10 wins, but I'm not worried about Philly. They don't scare me. They're just okay. But I'll say calm in that their whole season still ahead of them. Call more concerned about the team that was the first to fire their head coach this year and they have so many prime time games that nobody acts for. The Jets said two and three who hosts the bills on Monday night football this week. I'm going to go with concerned. Aaron Rodgers looks old. He does not look very good. He was awful against the Broncos. You want to blame that on bad weather? That's reasonable. He was just as bad against the Vikings, and I don't think there was that much bad weather in that London game. That's too straight now where he has not looked good in their offenses, stunk. They're only Wednesday near against the Tennessee Titans. We're going to pick in the top five and the Patriots. We're going to pick in the top five. Now if they beat the bills tomorrow night, I will possibly sing a different tune, but I think they're going to be two and four going into a matchup with physical Pittsburgh that's going to be a toss up type game with their season on the line. Their schedule down the stretch is softer than it looked like it was going to be dolphins, jags, Rams, bills, dolphins. So if they could just get out of there by in week 13 with a shot, they might be okay. But I just don't like what I'm seeing from Rogers and I think their offense is broken. They can't run the ball. Yeah. Concern. Before the season, I thought they were going to win the AFC East. I thought this group has so much talent. All they needed was a healthy adult quarterback. I'm not even talking about Aaron Rodgers MVP of a couple of years ago, right? I just mean someone that's sentient, someone that's not Zach Wilson literally ruining things or somebody else. And it's not just Aaron Rodgers. They just don't look right. Defensive. They're still very good, but they can't run block all of a sudden for some reason. Who knows what the causation or the reality is there? Their passing game looks clunky and every yard seems like a nuclear fusion project. It's really, really hard for them to do anything on offense. I don't think, you know, a defensive coordinator or defensive coach for another defensive coach. Fix any of that. Final one, calm or concerned about the team that led us here in the Grand and Danny Radio Show program come up to their stadium and put our feet to the Cincinnati Bengals who are one and four and have a stretch of the Giants, the Browns, Philly and Las Vegas coming up in the next few weeks. Strangely, I'm calm at one and four. They dug themselves into a great big hole. I was there. I saw it, but Joe Burrow through for seven trillion yards leads the league and touchdown passes at this point. They're offense with Jamar Chase on one side. And if you try to stop him, T Higgins on the other, they're going to score points. They're going to win some games. Now preseason, people are going, this is a 12, 13 win team. They're not. But I think they end up in the postseason despite their terrible start. I don't think they make the playoffs because I think their defense is awful. They've given up defensively for straight weeks now, 26, 38, 24 to Carolina and 41 41 to Baltimore, 38 to Washington and 26 to the Chiefs and sandwiched in there was a get right offensive game for the Panthers for God's sake. Yeah, that's true. And at quarterback, what are we doing here, Harry? I think they beat the giants that gets them to two and four. Then they play the Browns that gets them to three and four. The Eagles game is kind of a season definer because if you can get back to four and four Raiders after that, maybe you're five and four, you've won four straight and then you play the Ravens. You're back in the mix. You're back. Let's go have a season, but that's a lot of wins. I just strung together without any hiccups for a team that just can't stop anybody. So I will say that I am concerned based on their record. I still think their best football is ahead of them and I love that offense. And if you told me right now they made the playoffs, I guess it wouldn't shock me, but one in four is a massive, it's a big hole to dig out of. It's just tough. You know, if they're two and three, I'd probably go calm. Hey NFL fans, you can start the season with a big return on Fandal, America's number one sports book.
