NFL Week 1 is here, and Todd Furman and Payne Insider are breaking down the biggest games, betting angles, matchups and storylines across the opening weekend. The guys dive into Rams vs. 49ers and…
Payne InsiderHostTodd FurmanHostUh, we are, of course, a member of Sport and State, our distribution partners, powered by all of the great odds, product, and offering from Hard Rock Bet.
I'm your host, Todd Furman, joined as always, well, at least on Thursdays throughout the fall, my esteemed colleague and co-host, the one, the only, Pain Insider in Pain.
It may not have been the most exciting football game, but we at least have one regular season game out of 272 officially in the books.
... not as exciting when you don't have a first half under or an under in general on the game.
Hey, look, defensive games are one thing, but when a team is going out there and shooting themselves in the foot routinely, i- it's a little bit of a tougher watch.
And of course, we thought through three quarters the biggest storylines coming out of that game were going to be the injury to Sam Darnold, him leaving after the first series with a mysterious hip injury, although Coach M- Mike McDonald sounded a little bit more optimistic, although we'll get results of the MRI.
Then it's A.J. Brown, we come to find out on Thursday morning, a high ankle sprain.
But it was the fourth quarter miscues that plagued the Patriots, and I know a lot of people are ready to eulogize Drake Maye, Pain, but you look at it with a lot more sophisticated eye.
What were some of your takeaways for the way the Patriots squandered a 10-nothing lead, coming up short 13-10, albeit covering the closing number at Hard Rock Bet as a three-and-a-half-point underdog?
So the first thing that stands out to me was Josh McDaniels throughout the game.
This was something if you had followed throughout the course, was he had the entire off-season to wipe the mud off his face for how he performed in the Super Bowl and the game plan he constructed for that, and it was gonna be different.
Because it's Mike McDonald back, it's pretty much similar schemes, except there was issues in the secondary this go around.
Now, I can understand, hey, when you see Sam Darnold go out, you say, "I don't know what Seattle has offensively without Kenneth Walker this season.
We're gonna let Drew Lock come off the pine and try to beat us," and so you go a little bit more conservative.
