Michael Fiddle

This spread has moved, uh, to Panthers minus three-and-a-half.

Now, I don't know if I can get to the three-and-a-half for the Panthers, because if we look at the preseason quarterback... backup quarterback rankings, and we've talked about this before, we've talked about this with Michael Fiddle, um, the consensus was that going from Jalen Hurts to Tanner McKee was 5.25. And the Eagles opened up as one-and-a-half point favorites in this game at home.

And yes, they're dealing with the injuries, Devonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, the offensive line in shambles, we know.

But minus one-and-a-half to now plus three-and-a-half, that's a five-point adjustment.

There's causality there for whatever reason.

There you go.

I wanted to, uh, give out, 'cause this was a pretty popular thing that I did, uh, two weeks ago on the show, and I wanna thank, uh, Michael Fiddle for sliding in.

Uh, and AJ, you did a great job last week hosting.

The man straight out of a 1970s porn film, Joe Dellera.

Michael Fiddle, and of course, from Roto-Grinders, Jim Turvey.

I do want light that Joe is no longer wearing the robe that he was wearing on the last episode that I did with him, which just frankly made me very uncomfortable.

I'm glad.

OKC title and Shea 30-plus per game, plus 450.

And the Magic, plus 275 for the Southeast Nationals.

Yesterday, the Better Day Football Show, I was absent, uh, hosted by AJ Hoffman, featuring Steve Fezzik and Michael Fiddle.

Uh, I wanna thank the guys for doing a great job without me.

We will hear from, uh, the guys coming up here in just a few minutes on some of the big games that they talked about here this weekend.

Alabama doesn't.

And I say that as someone who has bet Alabama almost every single week [laughs] since we hit on.

So A.J., thanks so much for stepping up here this afternoon and, and taking the reins hosting the Better Day Football Show.

Oh, my pleasure.

We will start with football in this episode of Better Day presented by FanDuel.

Michael Fiddle out sick for this episode.

So I, Scott Seidenberg, am riding solo.

I do have a best bet from Fiddle for this upcoming week five in the NFL.

And as for the Falcons against the Ravens, again, we don't know the status of Lamar Jackson just yet.

but the Ravens a two and a half point favorite on Sunday night football.

Speaking of week five, we do have a best bet from Michael Fiddle as he is going to play the Monday night football game, the Buffalo Bills at the Los Angeles Rams.

And he is going to lay the two and a half with the Rams at home on Monday night football against the Buffalo Bills.

Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to Predicting Sports with Michael Fiddle.
