It's March 2023. Welcome to the Teen's Cornerstone Connections lesson. This is the second lesson in this series, lesson number 10, winsome and densome. Remember, you're a 10 with tuneful music from the orchestra featuring Kiki on the trumpet, George on the saxophone, Kate on the piano, and myself on the clarinet. Grace will take us through encouraging mission stories from the Eastern Central African Division and the panelists, of course, Sibirah, Brenda, Ashley, and our wonderful Teen teachers. Enjoy. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's lesson. But before we get into it, I'm here with yet another mission story. This, again, comes from Ronda. But before we get into it, let me give you some facts on just how missionary work started in Ronda. So, mission work was started by a guy named David L.E. Delphov, who was a young pioneer worker from Belgium. He began the first Adventist work in Ronda shortly after World War I. He was given a 125-acre plot, which was like 11 miles north of the town of Nyanza, on a low ridge known as the Hill of Skulls, which the natives actually believed to be cursed for one reason or the other by their king. But here is where the first foundation was laid for the G-12 mission, and this is where all the mission work in Ronda sprung off and spread towards all parts of the country. Okay, with no further ado, we're going to get into this week's story, and it's called Construction Saves Lives. So, for many years, members of the East Central Africa Division were dreaming to have a medical school built so that they could train doctors and nurses, not just in treating people, but also to spread the love of Jesus to others. Now, with the assistance of a special offering called the Thirteen Sabbath Offering, quite a while back they collected quite enough money to begin the project. So, every day, more than 300 workers would gather to the venue of where the school was supposed to be to begin the construction. But before you could hear any noises of hammers clanging or the buzz of saws, you'd hear something else. You would hear singing and praying. So, what was going on? So, the students at a nearby theology school had decided that we're not going to wait for this school to be complete so that Jesus can be shared to many other people. We can begin before. They're really excited about sharing Jesus' love with others. So, every morning before the construction began, they would come and pray with all the workers. Well, the ones who wanted to anyway. At the beginning, they only had a handful, but as time went on, more and more workers began to come for these worship sessions. And their bosses, the contractors, after seeing that these people are very interested in learning about Jesus and singing and praying, they decided that they're going to give them some time to sing and pray and learn more about Jesus. Now, as time went on, the members of this congregation that used to gather before the construction grew and grew, and the theology students decided that now they're going to get a bit more direct in terms of winning people to Jesus. So, they told them, so now they began telling them about the objectives of this new school that they were building, that it was not just training them to heal people, but it was also guiding them to the master physician that is Jesus Christ. Now, they were very intrigued by this because all they knew is that doctors heal people. They don't exactly preach. And now they wanted to know more about Jesus. And because of this, they started showing up to work earlier than usual so that they could enjoy having these worship sessions together with these theology students. And then, finally, after a long time, the construction of the school, phase one, was complete, and it was inaugurated by the president of Rwanda and the president of the general conference. And then, on that same day, 27 construction workers gave their lives to Christ. And apparently, it was not only the construction workers who were coming for these meetings, other ordinary men and women would come too. Eighteen women and nine men gave their lives to Christ on that same day too. One student named Emil says, think about this. Lives are already being transformed for heaven, and the students have not even arrived to study at the School of Medicine. So, this school, it was opened at, it has space for 35 students currently for phase one, and this 13 Sabbath offering, some of it is going to go there to help in the betterment of the school and also build homes for the teachers who are going to start their work there. So, as you plan to contribute, as you plan to give your offering, please think of sending some money to the school so that the work of Christ may continue there. Welcome, once again, dear viewers, to the teen's cornerstone connection lessons. We are excited to have you here. So, for today, we're going to begin with prayer, and Subira will give us a prayer. Okay, let's pray. Dear Father God, thank you so much for this day. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to come on this Sabbath day to learn more about you. I pray as we go through the lesson today, when some and then some, we may learn important lessons and apply to our lives. So, all the viewers watching and those here today, in Jesus' name, I pray and believe. Amen. Amen. So, on set, I'd like each of the people with me to introduce themselves, starting from my right. My name is Subira Akundi, and I'll be taking you through Sunday and Monday. My name is Brenda Maywa, and I'll be taking you through Sabbath and Wednesday. My name is Ashli Hazan, and I'll be taking you through Tuesday and Thursday, Patriarchs and Prophets. And happy Sabbath, and my name is Brigitte. We are glad to have you here once again. Okay. So, before we start our lesson today, what is our topic for the lesson for this time? When some and then some. When some and then some. It's a very interesting word there, and most of you might be asking yourselves, what does the word winsome mean? Okay. So, according to the dictionary and Google, of course, winsome means having an attractive quality.  So, our story today is about Jacob. Now, let me give you a brief background before we get to this story. Abraham was about 140 years old, and remember Isaac, I mean, was about 140 years old, and he'd been given the promise, you know, about his descendants and everything. But now, his son was still single at 40 years. 40 years old is still single. So, Abraham decided to find a wife for his son, Isaac. And that's when he sent his servant, Elia, to go and find a wife for him. And it's, we'll see something that the wife to be did, because we'll see in the story that she was, she was a 10, you know, the winsome part. She was a 10 over 10. But her character was the invincible part of it. We're going to learn more about it. Now, before we get into that, every lesson, we usually have a fundamental belief that we learn out of the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. And our fundamental belief for this lesson is belief number 23. That is marriage and the family. And for teens, you might be wondering, why are we talking about marriage at such a young age? Well, I can tell you why. God is as concerned about how we grow spiritually as teens as much as he's concerned about our social lives. God is very interested in who is your friend, who you keep around, who you fall in love with. Okay? And as Adventists, what we believe is that you need to be in love with someone who you share the same faith with. So that basically means that someone who is an Adventist, a Seventh Day Adventist, to be specific. Okay?  So there's a clothing retail store, you know, somewhere in the U.S. It's called Nordstrom. It's very famous because its employees are known to go the extra mile for everyone in everything they do. So there's a story that is told of a business guy who he was supposed to travel for a meeting on a Friday. So on Thursday, he goes to the store, buys some suits. I think this guy was Kenyan because, you know, very common with the last-minute shopping and everything. So he went, bought some suits, but they did not fit him well. So he left them so they can be tailored and he can pick them up on Friday morning before he goes for work. Okay? So he comes on Friday morning, the suits are not done, and he has to travel. So he just left the suits, blew across the country. He was moving from New York to Chicago. So he went to Chicago. And once he landed there on Friday evening, he found a package in his hotel room that was delivered. So he opened the package. What does he find there? All three of the suits that he had ordered from the Nordstrom office. But he had three extra expensive silk ties. Then he had a handkerchief put in his coat pocket with a handwritten apology embroidered. Actually it was embroidered into the handkerchief, an apology. We are sorry we did not deliver you suits in time. Please accept this gift as an apology. Now, this is a character that the Lord calls upon us to have, going the extra mile. Okay? And let us see what exactly we told about this going the extra mile. Brenda, there's a very interesting question in the What Do You Think section. Do you mind taking us through it? Yes, thank you. Let's move on to the What Do You Think section where we have a few questions put down for us to answer. So we're told to rank the following attributes from one being the most important and ten being the least important. These are like character attributes or basically character traits. So which ones would you want to find in your partner? So we have kindness, honesty, attractiveness, contentment, optimism, selflessness, courage, self-confidence, humility, and creativity. So one being the most important and ten being the least important. I'll just save my first three, which would be kindness, honesty, and self-confidence. These are the most important to me because I think self-confidence is something that everyone should have developed at some point in their life. And when you're confident about who you are, you know who you are.  And kindness is just an amazing character trait I'd like someone who's that close to me to have. And honesty, it's just good to be honest with your partner and be able to be comfortable to tell them whatever is happening in your life. Teacher Jonan or anyone who doesn't like to give us what their opinion is on the section. Okay. These are very interesting questions. Thank you so much, Brenda. I think I would choose optimism and contentment. For optimism, it's always important for all of us to be positive. I mean, we're about to life is short. So we really need to be positive about every single situation. So even if you're feeling sad and lonely, you can still find the best in every single problem or just general situation. With contentment, obviously in this social media age on Instagram, TikTok, you could go and see this beautiful lives that these influencers are living, but it's also so important for you to be happy where you are, because that's true happiness.  So be content where you're at. Thank you. So for me, I just decided to pick one and that's selflessness. So one of the biggest problems we have on this art is the eye problem. And the eye problem, it's an eye problem which can't be fixed with specs. It's eye problem, like I myself. So if you are selfless, then you've cut out the root to most of the sins, if not all of them. And so it means that this person will be kind to you, they'll be humble, they will love you, all those things will definitely be shown in their lives. True. Okay, Chajunan. Yeah, that's, I think I agree with most of your choices. I think also go for contentment, you know, because being content means you accept yourself as you are. And that makes it easier to accommodate someone else and their feelings and also help them through whatever they might be going through. Right. So very good stuff there. And I think it's time we go to our story, right? Yeah, let's get into it. Okay. Okay, now Abraham was very old and the Lord had blessed him with everything that he could possibly have. So he said to the senior servant in his household, I want you to put your hand under my thigh and swear that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I'm living, but you will go to my country, my own relatives to get a wife for my son Isaac. So the servant left taking with him 10 of his master's camels and then and he prayed, Lord, may it be that when I say to a young woman, please let down your jar that I may have a drink. And she says, drink and I'll water your camels too. Let her be the one you've chosen for my servant Isaac. By this, I will know that you've shown kindness to my master. So, but even before he finished praying, Rebecca came out with her jar lifted on her shoulder. This woman was fine. And she was a virgin. No man had ever slept with her. So she went down to the spring, build up her jar and gave him a drink. Well, of course, the servant was hurrying to her asking, please let down your jar. And she did so after she had given him a drink. She said, I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink. By this, the servant bowed down and worshiped the Lord. Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who was not abandoned by master by giving him kindness, faithfulness shown to my master. So Rebecca and her friends got ready and mounted on the camels and went with the man. So the servants took Rebecca. Isaac brought Rebecca into the tent of his mother, Sarah, and he married Rebecca. So she became his wife and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. Thank you, Subirah, for that brief insight on our story. So for viewers, the story is from Genesis chapter 24, that is what Subirah has given us a synopsis of. And just to bring us into context of what's really happened, in verse four, verse four of chapter 24 of Genesis, the servant puts his hand under the thigh of his master. It's a very strange thing to do nowadays, right? But you know, different traditions, different customs. In those days, that was a great sign of respect. It also meant that the vow that you made with your hand under someone else's thigh means that you're not going to break that vow. So this servant had committed himself to fulfilling what his master had told him to do. Right. And we have our key text from the Monday section from Genesis chapter 24, verse 19. And it says, after she had given him a drink, she said, I'll drink water for your camels too, until they've had enough to drink. So this is really going the extra mile, winsome and then some. So as you pray today, talk to God about your specific hope about your future with your spouse or your partner. And I want to call the viewers and you guys right here, write out a prayer and keep it in a safe place. So when it comes the time for you to get married, you can use it. Do you commit to do so? Totally, totally. Now, moving on, we have a question here on the out of the story section of our lesson. And I'd like to ask Brenda to answer it. So Brenda, the question is, how does this story inform our understanding of modern romance? If you look at the romance in between Isaac and Rebecca and compared to what we see today, you know, Telemundo and stuff, what do you get? What are your insights on it? Good question. I personally think modern romance compared to romance found back in the day. It's a lot more impulsive and it's more of like falling in love very fast and falling out of love faster. So it's something that we have to learn from people in the Bible to learn to be patient. And Rebecca and Isaac's love lasted long because it had God and their parents blessing. So I think that's something we should learn from old romance than modern romance, which is very impulsive and never really lasts as long. So you can basically say easy come, easy go because people just love it first sight with someone on the internet. You like them, she looks nice. You just fall in love and everything. All right. Mr. Bridget, what do you think? I think that one thing that stands out for me is that Abraham really went out, all out to get a wife for Isaac. And in today's marriages, if you look at it, people tend to get spouses on their own without even involving their parents. Like by the time you're even coming to involve the parents, it's gone really deep in. And if they do not approve of it, you just really want to continue and go all the way, you know, disrespecting them. But I think it's an important lesson for us that as we make friendships, as we get into courtships, let us involve our parents. Okay. So question, what are the disadvantages and advantages of arranged marriages? I was actually thinking about the same thing because, you know, in the olden days, they used to arrange marriages. Right now, people just meet, then you go tell your parents later. You did it for like whole year. You just want to get married in the next few months. So Ashley, what do you think? I'd say in arranged marriages, your parents would select someone that they know could align with your faith, someone who they know will be compatible with you, someone they know you can, that it's impossible for you to not love them. Right. So that's one of the advantages of arranged marriages. I'd say the cons may outweigh the pros in this modern society. And one of them would be maybe getting married for fortune. Like that happens a lot these days with arranged marriages. Yeah. What was your other question? Well, that's it. But I really think adding on to what you said, it's super important to recognize that the parents really choose who they think to them is a perfect person. Not specifically to you. I think today in the today's society, adding also Brenda's question, there's a lot of requirements.  But in this situation, we really just look at one most important virtue of selflessness and going above and beyond for your spouse or just an ordinary person. And you might never know you can find a husband. Yeah, true. And you know, one thing most people fail to understand from their arranged marriages in the olden days is that if your parents found someone for you, it wasn't a must to marry them. If you both do not love each other, they were actually allowed to just separate. Most people will fail to see that. So most people here arrange marriages, they're like, no, it's not a must. But the parents, parents, they're human too. They've been through the same phase you've been through. So they understand you might not necessarily like this person. So they usually give you a choice. I think it would be good if we had the same thing in our age, don't you think? But actually, you could take us through the flashlight. Yeah. And that's from Tuesday. So let us all move to the flashlight. And it says it was a time. Oh, my apologies. It was a time of anxious thought with Eliezer important results not only to his master's household, but to the future generations might follow from the choice he made. And how is he to choose wisely among entire strangers? Remembering the words of Abraham that God would send his angel with him. He prayed earnestly for positive guidance. In the family of his master, he was accustomed to the constant exercise of kindness and hospitality. And he now asked that an act of courtesy might indicate the maiden whom God had chosen. Those are deep words. That's from Patrick's and Prophet's. Can you tell us more about what Ellen White in the street of prophecy talks about this subject of marriage between Isaac and Rebecca? That it was a matter of nearly grave importance because it would determine what would happen for the rest of Abraham's bloodline. And it was left up to this one man, this servant who is sent out to go find someone to marry his son, right? And it's like, you're not given the specifics, it's quite vague.  There's many mistakes that a person can make in trying to find, but since he was accustomed to courtesy and kindness in the home, he said, maybe if I find someone who's courteous and kind and I bring them into the home, then yeah, there are no clashes that would happen because they're of similar virtue. So that practically means that the environment that someone is accustomed to can dictate the kind of partner you'll get later on in life. I think that's what you're trying to say. Yes. Yeah. And I call matchmaker. Like this person has really big responsibilities in finding this, like you said, the whole genealogy. God's promise is aligning with everything, so he had to be very strategic with it. I know in this society, our friends or people we just spend time with, we always ship them. Always like I ship this person and this person, calling matchmaker. But I think in this lesson, it's important to know that even in our modern lives, God can be our matchmaker. God can put people together and whenever we make a decision to marry someone or get together with someone, we need to consult God. What do you think, teacher Bridget? Absolutely, I agree. And unfortunately, as teens, sometimes we feel like we want to put God so much out of our relationships that we make, whether friendships or whether for love. So it's important, as Subira has said, that to know that God is the matchmaker, the perfect matchmaker for each one of us. True, true, true. I agree with that. And there are some verses here in our lesson today that can kind of give us more insight into what these lessons tell us today. Brenda, probably you can tell us a verse or two that speaks to you. Personally, there are quite many actually that all point towards today's lesson. But the one that stood out to me was Hebrews 13, and I'll read it.  That's a heavy verse, that's a heavy verse. But this is something that a lot of people my age don't really understand and they take it really lightly. I feel like it needs to be taught a lot more or deeper because we usually play around with it and say there's no place in the Bible where God says we can't do this. He only talks about adultery and adultery is about marriage. So people from my age going upwards are basically taking curves around marriage. They're like, oh, I'm not going to get married. So I think this is a really deep verse that needs to be talked about more. True, true. I second that with Proverbs chapter 18 verse 22 and it says, he who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. So definitely in this society, people don't really want to get married. If you have the contents, you love each other and engage in certain acts, then it's technically a marriage but not going through the ceremony. It's super important because here this verse tells us that God approves of it and the people who engage in marriage, this wonderful unity receive favor from the Lord. I agree with that. And I could say that in our day and age, a couple of surveys that have been done, they show that most young people, the first time they learned about relationships and sex, it doesn't even from their parents or the church. It doesn't the internet. And these are things as Christians can just screw up with the way God meant the relationships and love and marriage to be like. And that's what we find most of us in church actually have a very not clear picture of what marriage and love really entails in a Christian way. Mr. Breset, what do you think? So the verse that speaks to me is Colossians chapter 3 verse 23 and 24, that whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for human beings. Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward, it is the Lord Christ you are serving. So even from last week's lesson, we learned about being hospitable, both at home in the church, basically to each and every person. Being hospitable is what made Rebecca be chosen as the wife. And she went the extra mile, you know, winsome and then some, she went on ahead to give drink to the camels. So we're encouraged as young people, as teens, if you're given a duty, don't just cook, cook and wash the dishes. If you're given assignments, don't just do the assignment, do the assignment and read ahead. And there's a special blessing for you. True, true. I agree with that. Reminds me of a quote a friend of mine once told me, when you're doing something, always give 100% unless you're donating blood. I mean, keep everything. But the Lord causes to excellence. God, when he puts us in a place, he knows we can go the extra mile. And that's what he causes to do. Rebecca, it was customary for them. I mean, this case had such good mannerisms that I think we should be practicing today. In those days, if you had a guest in your house, imagine they used to feed them from their jar. So it was something that Rebecca was expected to do. When she met Eliezer, the servant, she was supposed to actually give him a drink, which she did, but then she went the extra mile and then some and watered the camels, which she wasn't supposed to do, but she did it. And that earned her a place amongst the lineage of one of the greatest nations on earth and the lineage into the birth of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, and there's a verse for that. Actually, what verse sticks out to you? I would have to say of first Corinthians, oh no. Yes, first Corinthians 7.36. Actually, the one that stood out to me was actually Matthew 5 verses 39 to 41. And it says, if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.  If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. This just emphasizes on selflessness, which today people might contribute a little like the way the teacher said. When you're giving, you give 100 percent, but people in this current society would give 70 percent and wouldn't do the remaining 30 until they're asked to. I'd like to direct us to, you can write this down for those who cannot access it right now. In the book The Adventist Home by Ellen White, page 44, she says, great care should be taken by the Christian youth in the formation of friendships and the choice of companions. Friends, the friends you keep, the people who you keep around you can either make or break it. And even we're told again in scripture and in the spirit of prophecy that we should develop the character that you want to have later on in life as early as now. For relationships amongst young people, there are those virtues that you want in someone.  You need to have the same qualities. You cannot attract something you're not. Okay? If you're selfless, you have to find someone who's selfless. If you find someone who's selfish, you're going to clash. Okay? But these characters have to be developed at home. So the earlier you get them, the better. There is no better place to develop a better character for your future than at home. Because your parents are there to guide you. They can tell you, yes, you're doing the right thing, but you can do it a little bit better like this. They have been through this. They understand. And before we even got on stage, actually you're telling me some very interesting thing about decision-making in teenagers. Yeah. Actually, that comes from developing a sense of consciousness and thinking about consequences of your actions, which people start to develop at the age of six, and it later gets better when you're around 13. But scientifically it's shown that the prefrontal cortex of the brain doesn't fully develop until you're like mid-20s, late-20s. And it's around one of the last places to develop. So you're unable to do fully critical thinking, make great decisions, or think about the consequences of your actions until you have aged appropriately. Yeah, that's interesting. As teenagers, we tend to think that we know everything. Okay, I used to think I'm not a teenager right now, but I was younger. I would make decisions be like, I know this is right. No one can change me from my course. But even science says it, the decisions we make when we're below 25, we may not fully think about the consequences or the impacts of what we're doing. And we can even learn from Jacob. Isaac, the guy was 40 years old, and his dad was still looking for a wife for him. Some of us at 20, going to decide where we're going to live, what we're going to eat, where we're going to stay, the friends are going to choose. We need to trust our parents as teenagers. Even as young, as old as I am, not that old anyway, I still trust my parents. When you get older, you'll realize that your parents start becoming your closest of friends. Did you ever agree with me on this? Absolutely.  Why didn't we do this when I was younger? Parents have a lot of insight, and you need to take advantage of that. We'll learn from them as much as we can. Tell us something. Right. So we have read of us from Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 22, and it says that he who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. And the opposite is true. She who finds a husband also finds something good, right? And one thing that we are learning from this lesson is that true love is a high and holy principle. As we've said, it's not something that is impulsive, and it's not something which when you're tested, it will just die out. So that's one thing that we've learnt. So I'd like to ask one more question even before we close. What are the aspects of this lesson? What aspects from this lesson have been particularly helpful for you today? Or what lessons have you picked from today's lesson? Maybe Ashley would go first. I can say I've picked up on first off obedience. The obedience of first off the servant, he was told go and find my son a wife, and he went. And secondly, Isaac, he obeyed his father throughout his life, and also when his father chose a wife for him. The second thing I'd take from this is the act of selflessness, which we can continue to learn from various Bible characters. Brenda? The biggest lesson I think I have learned from this is patience, because it says that when they described Rebecca, when the servant first saw her, there were three main things they said. She was beautiful, and she was a virgin. And the last thing was the character in which she showed. It's just like the topic of the lesson, when some, then some. It was beautiful plus her character. And I think when we're patient to wait for God to show us all the direction he wants us to take, he adds for us more than we already had. So be patient, and I think it'll just come to you without you. You don't have to go look, looking for it. It'll come to you by itself. Give us the insight, Subir. I think the biggest lesson is definitely prayer. Prayer works, especially when it comes to things like love and waiting for someone to marry or even our girlfriend or boyfriend. We don't really consult God as much because it's a sensitive topic. I think there's a lot of things, grubby things involved with it, but it's super important to pray. And even before he finished praying, God had already answered his prayer. Like Rebecca came out, and like you said, the beautiful descriptions, she was a virgin, and God really answers our prayers. So even right now, I know some teachers have even started praying, started praying when there were teens. We couldn't even start praying right now for our future wonderful husband, whether he's tall or dark, handsome, whatever qualities that we want. Be specific and pray. Amen. Amen. I like that. We see from Elias's prayer, he was very specific. He wanted someone to come out, give him water, and give water to the camels. And that's exactly what happened. God answers our prayers specifically. As much as God is all knowing, he knows what we want, he wants us to ask it out ourselves. You know, be specific in what you say. And also I can say, when God plays much maker, he's never wrong. Your God had arranged for this marriage way before when Abraham wanted to arrange for it. And when you commit your plans to God, he's going to bring them to fusion, always does. You just have to trust him, be specific about it. Okay? Yeah. Unless there's someone else who has something else to add on our lesson today. I'd just like to say that it's important to involve God in all your aspects of life. You know, sometimes we think that we just meet God in church or when we have problems. But from today's reading, we realize that God is interested in all aspects of our lives. Also in things as important as marriage, because as we'll see later, marriage is one of the things that, you know, will continue into eternity. So that is one of the important lessons. And definitely adding on to that, further insight gives us insight on this. Telling us that making sure that when we're choosing the people we're marrying or people we're associating with, will this union or will this marriage help me heavenward? And will it increase my love for God? So whoever you're spending time with, make sure you ask these deep questions to yourself. Before you get into something, you might not want to. Man, I like that. Very close. I'd like to add something connecting to what I said earlier. The verse for the Sabbath section is Colossians 3, 23, and 24. And he talks about whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord. Basically, it reminds me of a verse. My mom always tells me whoever shall not work, shall not eat.   You have to put in the work. Ashley, any insight? That well must have been a paid actor, because it was bringing people together. It was the second matchmaker. Because like, first off, it's how Isaac was able to get with Rebecca, right? And later on in the story, spoilers, Jacob met his future wife at that well. Most likely it's actually the same well. Because we'll see in the later stories Jacob also had to move from his place to go find a wife in the same place where his dad got a wife. So that well, I think I should go there the single people here. Anyway, thank you so much for staying with us for our lesson today. And I'd like to give you a challenge. As we've learned from our lesson today, be specific in your prayers, whatever you ask for, ask for it in confidence that the good Lord will give it on to you. And secondly, the Lord is interested in your social relationship as much as any other aspect of your life.  And whether you got a boo or a bae, God's love is here to stay. Now I'd like Ashley to pray with us as we come to a close. Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Yeah, heavenly Lord, we come before you at the end of this lesson discussion with a prayer of thanksgiving for letting us gather here together to talk, to discuss and to share our insight on your holy word and everything surrounding it. We've given our different opinions and as we shared them, we've discovered new things, we've learned new things. And I pray that all who get out of this will have left with something near in their hearts, with a pair in their hearts for a good partner of, for selflessness, for obedience, and that they may not condition themselves to act selfishly or to have a limit to how selfless they are. With nothing more to add, I pray that your Holy Spirit may daily intercede and intervene in areas not mentioned. This is my prayer in Jesus.

To other parts of Africa, the African Union has called for a political dialogue between the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan officials more than three months after a peace agreement that ended a bloody conflict in the north of the country. The statement issued on Saturday in Addis Ababa was the outcome from a meeting of the monitoring committee for the peace agreement that included representatives of the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan leaders and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, IGAD. The peace agreement was signed in November 2022 in Pretoria between the Ethiopian government and the rebels of the northern region of Ethiopia after two years of conflict.


Farzhan of the Yeats brought to you from out the pages of Edgo Rice follows dramatic book Farzhan watches the column of flame lick smoke curling upward the hut his hut He thinks to himself for a moment is torn between two desires What does it go at once to the hut ought to return and he stops He has no words with which to tell Jane what he wishes to do go to the hut He must it is his next to Jane Porter He values it above all else it was there that he learned that he was a man and not an ape They are true as the little book he cannot read Lord Grey Stokes diary Farzhan does not know it But that diary is the only thing which can prove him to be the true heir to the Grey Stoke title to the states Farzhan looks down from the treetops down to where Jane Porter is hidden by the dense screens of tropic green Limb to limb branch to branch he flashes downward He thrusts aside the matted verdure and stands before Jane Farzhan looks at her he understands only the last words What was it Jane had said when she wanted to start off in the direction of mongers? Go go that was it He points towards the steadily rising shaft of smoke fight skin go fight skin go never before and Tarzan So wish that he could express his thoughts Curiously his mind groups for something anything that will indicate to Jane that he will return Jane senses his excitement feels the chill fingers of field with our hearts to be left alone She touches Tarzan's arm Tarzan holds the shaking girl close if only he could speak reassure her that he would soon return Without a word Tarzan lips are into his arms He places one arm above her waist and reaching above pulls himself to a higher branch Jane closes her eyes She feels herself being carried up up to the very loftiest branch of a jungle giant Tarzan shakes her gently She opens her eyes on every side the tree tops heads are in for miles and miles as far as the eye can see Nothing, but waving spires of green dancing in the shimmering heat waves Tarzan points out the smoke look fire Fire Jane nods her head this then is why he wants to go again Tarzan points to the billowing gray column then he taps himself on the chest Right again go back But you'll come back you'll come back quickly Tarzan looks at Jane Can it be that she's saying what he cannot tell her?  Yes. Yes, that's what I said Oh, I only knew that you understand what it means. I'm so afraid to be left alone Jane covers her face with her hands and Tarzan understanding the action gently pulls her hands away and looked into her eyes Holding the trembling girl with one bronze arm the eight man gently strokes her wavy hair and then Satisfied that she understands he holds her tightly and swings down into the denser foliage Jane opens her eyes to find herself back on the platform in the trees Tarzan lowers her gently White skin come back quick quick Tarzan looks down at her for a moment He leans forward places both hands on her shoulders and then Bending quickly he lightly touches her hair with his lips and in a flash disappears into the trees Meanwhile the search party under lieutenant Darno's guidance has wound its way deeper and deeper into the jungle up to the very edge of the clearing in which Tarzan killed Turcos Monsieur Trayton I am afraid that I do not know what to say But you think the further search is useful. We shall search as long as you desire But night will soon be upon us and I do not see any prospect of Accomplishing anything up to that. What you say is true Darno, but how can we tell pause? Where under this bush? Look probably dragged off by the hyenas a dead ape The jungle scavengers have not demolished the remains of this ape all together and Wait a moment. I make sure oh Professor Porter Your advice look Ah Why I Yes This ape has been killed by a knife Exactly the ape hide is cut and flashed severely Just below the heart in our jungle man evidently did for the ape But Clayton if he has I feel sure that he would have taken Jane back to the house Made by him look here See you where this stream has made the ground soft and muddy Human print then it certainly was Tarzan of the ape if that fellow is Tarzan But I understand Tarzan can talk English and Jane would naturally have asked him to take take her back But look Monsieur Clayton these footprints are almost in a straight line Aborigines in fact. But there are no aborigines here. At least we have not seen any I have been up and down this coast for 10 years and have heard many rumors of a tribe of blocks Somewhere in this vicinity. Oh, you will love me. You'll love me Jane may have been rescued from the ape only to fall into more brutal hands Missilla professor. I I do not know what to say Make on air I shall be brutal a Frank these blacks are Cannibal Nothing we can do wait a minute We've not heard the beating of any drums, which might indicate I sure it was off of course in a matter of days The one will have to rest and night is to the big cats For food then we better return to the hut Underweight the landing of the supply a week and I will ask won't cut my host for more supplies It's a threat be a necessary mature. We are already always due 10 degrees research for that shape yours and our stores are deported now if we walk into your Lagoon, I think Monsieur said who I think Monsieur said who will require more I see and back to the heart it will have to be and back to the heart it will have to be We can stop Water can we or blank out even if one is One must be practical very sorry that things seem to be finding so slowly professor My dear friend has been born upon the visit possibly theology of friends I have Wonderful to me so quite And here's the hut He sees us at the rising column of red and smoke comes with the rising column of red and smoke comes with the headlamp All he's preparing that the licking tongue to play in three threads of the clearing into his place like any Fielding a face from the scorching heat It's just brand after brand and cattle eat over the plot pushing them into the sea That's green and leafy and they're long sweeping stroke, but there's a lot growing embers down right the beach Despite that there's no longer an injured to the hut Tarzan can it and swings himself easily yet sparenly into the trees Only if to the fire Tarzan has noticed that's where it is empty Then hot the hut is something he wants to let the little black book with the Innit that he cannot read but now he drops silently into the clearing at the hut reaches the door in a few pieces I tried some pushes open the door quick Tarzan goes cupboard where he's left the books, but that was there He looks rapidly not the hut they are on a shelf about in box quickly He opens it the tin box quickly he opens it dipping his fingers into the familiar box He feels the smooth side of the best thing definitely He empties their arrows slips the diary into the crevices and groups the arrows back into place again And Tarzan scribes to the door. This is how he approaching the hut. He opens the door to put us across the clearing Tarzan stands up for his shoulder leaps for a low-hanging but over-splitting raisins


The foundation was never late for termination testing. On the 22nd of every month, at 1500 hours on the dot, the door would open to 682 cell. Alarms would blare, the site would enter standard lockdown configuration, and then the show would start. What followed was five glorious hours of 682 against the most dangerous contraption that an army of engineers could design. This was the only break from the monotony of containment that the lizard got. It wasn't much, but it was something. And it was the something that gave 682 hope that the foundation would one day f*** up so bad that it would finally be able to roam the countryside doing what it did best, slaughter. Except today, they were late. Except they were never late. The lizard glared at the door. It refused to open. 28.922.2020. From Dr. R-2, SCP-682 Containment Personnel, SCP-682 Termination Personnel, Subject Omega K, Message We have finally obtained X-ray scans of SCP-682. As we predicted, those scans show that SCP-682, like other non-anomalous reptiles, does in fact have a brain. And as recent research into the Omega K scenario has shown, anything with a brain has been cursed or blessed with immortality. If the lizard wasn't unkillable before, it certainly is now. This means that continued attempts at termination of SCP-682 will be futile. If we can't even kill a rat, the lizard's entirely out of the question. Therefore, we will be suspending SCP-682 termination testing indefinitely. All personnel directly working in this venue of research will be reassigned within the coming week. Containment personnel are to take note, as this will simplify the procedures we have in place for SCP-682. We had a good run. SCP-682 Containment Log, 922.2020. 1500. Regularly scheduled termination of subject cancelled. No activity. 1516. Ripples appear in the hydrochloric acid vat. But indicative of enough movement to necessitate action. 1527. Movement attempted by SCP-682 appears to be restless thrashing. Electrical shocks introduced to hydrochloric acid stop the movement. 1544. Movement attempted by SCP-682. More dramatic and exaggerated than previous attempt. Loads detected on acid vat walls are significantly lower than loads measured during previous SCP-682 breach attempts. This is attributed to a lack of precision in repeated strikes. Electrical shocks introduced to hydrochloric acid fail to stop movement. 1547. Shouts of anger detected by microphones within the cell. Sudden fluctuation of temperature introduced to containment environment has slowed movement. 1552. Thrashing resumes at an even more intense rate. SCP-682 speech is recorded by microphones within the cell. This containment techniques reapplied to the containment environment. Vat walls projected to hold under current loads. 1623. Loads on vat walls increased dramatically. Strikes have become more focused on the north wall. SCP-682 shouts threats sporadically. Vat walls projected to hold. However, personnel have been notified of a possible impending containment breach. Preparation for SCP-682 recontainment protocols has been initiated. 1703. Movement from SCP-682 slows. This change does not correlate with any additional containment measures applied to the environment. 1704. SCP-682 sinks into the vat. 1705. Movement ceases. SCP-682 recontainment protocols aborted. Personnel returned to their stations. They weren't coming, and they didn't plan on coming. SCP-682 lashed out every day at 1500 hours for the next week. It took it that long to accept its new life. Just the lizard and the acid. The vat was cramped, but even worse, it was boring. Special containment procedures. SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible. The lizard wished it was dead.

And we're back. Hopefully we have Kevin on the line. How are you doing today, Kevin? Good, Dave. How are you doing? Fantastic. I was looking at C8 technology. I know you've got a strong technology background. I don't know enough to distinguish them from one chip company to the next, but they've had a big run since early August from about 42 to over 60. Now they're pulling back today on pretty strong volume. I was just curious what you thought on a technical and from a company standpoint, if you think they're a long-term potential, if they have a nice pullback here, they're pulling back a lot of volume today. Unless they come up with some kind of new technology, I think they on Western Digital are gone in five years, maybe less. Yeah, I mean, SSDs are so much better. In the data center, they save oodles of money from electricity costs. And of course, being able to swap them out and just knowing how they're going to work seems to be much better. There's selling a lot of really big 8 terabyte, 16 terabyte drives now for long-term storage. But the companies cleaning up are the ones selling SSDs and rack mount systems with petabyte SSDs, because everybody wants everything now. I just don't understand. If they got some kind of new technology that actually competes with anything else, that would be interesting to me. But if they're just going to continue to make spending drives until they're out of business, it's probably the more logical look. Basically, the companies that are going to own storage are RAM manufacturers, right? There's not much to the controller, and it's just all about who's making RAM. I appreciate you, Bet. You bet. Sell when you can, especially if it's a hard drive company. That will be here tomorrow. Same Bat Channel, same Bat Time.


This is Covering the Spread. Here are your hosts, Jim Saunas and Dr. Ed Fang. Welcome on into Covering the Spread here on the FanDuel Podcast Network. My name is Jim Saunas.

But first, because we're a new show, we got to, you know, give that gentle nudge towards leaving us ratings and reviews. If you like what you hear from Evan coming up later, or if you like to hear it from Will Kapper back on Monday or JJ Zacharyson last week, please leave us a rating and review on Apple podcasts slash iTunes. I think it's still kind of called iTunes. I don't honestly know because I have a Google Pixel phone. But regardless, Ed, we got our first review for the show last week. Yeah, actually, I just looked. I think we have eight, but I don't want it. Yeah, I just looked. I don't want to send a shout out and thank you to Bethany. She emailed me. She's how much a fan she is of you, Jim and JJ Zacharyson. And she's been following my stuff as well. Just big thank you to her for just supporting us and she left us a review. So thank you.

We talked NBA championship futures with Whalecapper. Make sure you check that out. We went through how good of a value a team has to be in order to justify tying up bankroll for almost a full year and betting NBA futures. We also discussed all the changes for the Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Rockets and their outlook for this year, but also teams that Whalecapper thinks might be undervalued right now. Looking forward to having Whalecapper back on soon because he has a lot of fun to talk to. Of course, JJ talked NFL player props last week.

Gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER-EVAN-SILVA coming up next. Let's bring Evan Silva into covering the spread. Evan, you are in the middle of launching a brand new site called EstablishTheRun.com. We've got training camps ramping up. Preseason DFS just around the corner. Are you sleeping or are you just like running off of fumes by this point? How are you operating right now? Well, I'm taking naps. I'm sleeping 12 hours at night. I'm trying to get rested for the season, man. Your preseason DFS right around the corner, August 1st, man. That is like 20. That's your prime time to shine. That's the best ROI DFS sport on the planet right now, I think, unless you're like some WNBA or Tests expert. But yeah, I mean, if you like to play DFS and actually win money, because it's really hard to win daily fantasy money these days, just playing regular season DFS. I mean, it's fun and you can't win money. I'm not saying don't. Definitely do. I do. I play every single week. But if you actually want to win money, your chances at making a significant ROI are much higher playing preseason DFS than playing regular season DFS. I know preseason DFS is part of the whole package here at EstablishTheRun.com. So Evan, tell me about Establish The Run, what you're offering during the season, and kind of the game plan for the site as you gear up for your first year. Yeah, so Adam Levitan and I started this new website. We hired as writers Pat Thorman, long time of pro football focus. Josh Hermsmeyer of 538, maybe the best pure data analyst going right now in media behind you guys. And then we're trying to turn it into kind of a one-stop shop just for all football covers, because I try to cover the league year round. It's not just a fantasy thing. I cover free agency. I cover draft. I've had some pretty good success predicting the NFL draft for the past few years. I love to watch and study college prospects and podcast and write about them. And even after this season, my hope is that we'll be covering the XFL from a daily fantasy perspective. All right. Yeah, because I've heard word on the street is that XFL already kind of has lined stuff up with Fanduil and DraftKings. And I don't want to say that for sure, but I've heard. Yeah, I don't want to say that for sure.  And I'm hopeful. I'll say that I'm very hopeful that XFL will become we'll kind of catch on as a daily fantasy sport. And so, you know, as I mentioned, I'm so excited for our preseason DFS package. It's going to be it's going to be top notch. We're going to crush it and you can find my top 150 rankings my tears, which are like extremely in depth. And then my weekly matchups column on establish the run.com where I break down every game and talk about every fantasy relevant player and going to try to incorporate more and more sports betting information as I myself learn more about how to become a better sports better. I'm not like I'm going to like I'm not going to be, you know, I'm not selling picks, you know, but as I myself learn how to become a better sports better than I will try to incorporate information that can help people in that respect. Excellent Evan. Yeah, and I remember when I first started reading your matchup reports, just impressed with the depth and every game and how long you spend in that. Want to thank you for coming on the show because we wanted to ask you about some wind totals and particularly just your process for how to find values in NFL wind totals. Are you looking at like fragility based on injuries or regression from the previous year? What is it in your process? Yeah, so on establish the run.com I have 30 of the 32 teams written up both from a fantasy perspective and then at the end I talk about wind totals and kind of, you know, where I'm leaning on each wind total and the wind totals kind of move around a little bit. They get that up.  As you mentioned, I start with a team's previous season win-loss record in one-score games which tend to regress for the mean for better or worse. Football outsiders puts out some great metrics in terms of injury rates and those also tend to regress toward the mean the following year and I think that schedule strength has actually become kind of underrated as a metric because people kind of like look down upon it. People think that things change so much year to year. I think that that's wrong especially early in the season. We don't give ourselves enough credit for being able to predict how good or bad offenses and defenses will be. Look, you know, over the course of the season guys are going to get hurt. We're going to learn more about teams but early in the season you typically have a pretty decent handle on how good offenses and defenses are going to be after you study the coaching and the personnel changes, you know, realize how good or bad the team was in the previous season. And so I think that in the first six weeks of the season or first like four to six weeks of the season we can kind of have a little bit of an edge just by doing more work and outworking our competition. And a lot of that work does start now because we're going to learn things as training camps open. We'll see injuries, you know, find out which guys may not be healthy. When you're looking at win totals right now, Evan, are there any story lines that stand out to you that could be impactful when it comes to betting win totals for 2019? Any big stories you're watching right now? Yeah, and I'd say that it begins with the Ravens because I'm really looking hard at the over on the Ravens at eight and a half which seems to be kind of contrarian because the consensus out there is that Lamar Jackson can't throw because look like the last year last year the guy threw a lot of ducks and you know, we have like a highlight bias where big plays stand out in our minds. You know, those are things that we remember and bad plays stand out in our minds. Like Mark Sanchez will forever be a member for the black plumber, you know? And Lamar Jackson had a lot of bad tape a lot of bad throws last year but he also didn't even get first team reps until week 10. He averaged 7.1 yards per pass attempt as a rookie which was better than Andrew Luck as a rookie far better than Joe Flacco as a rookie better than Sam Darnold way better than Jared Goff way better than Derek Carr. So I think that that highlight bias you know, really it's a low light bias really it might be the best way to put it for Lamar Jackson.  I hope that they play Lamar Jackson a lot in the preseason. That's going to be they play first of all they played him a ton in the preseason last year but of course he was like you know a backup at the time and typically teams don't play their starting quarterbacks very much in the preseason. But I think Lamar Jackson needs those reps in the preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets him, you know kind of and then the whole the holdout stuff which is mainly running back oriented and we know that running backs just don't move the needle. So I wouldn't factor that kind of stuff into my win-loss outlook for any team like I'm but I'm obviously tracking the Zeke Elliott Melbourne Gordon situations for fantasy. Absolutely. So we know the preseason could hold a lot of value for fantasy but does anything on the field influence you when it comes to betting win totals. I mean and actually this kind of maybe leads right into Lamar Jackson and how you're going to be watching him in those preseason games. Yeah aside from a situation like the Ravens where there is essentially you know a first year starter at quarterback an entirely new supporting cast. I'd say no preseason is a good time to learn about players that don't play as much in the regular season learn about the deepest parts of depth charts. See where guys are stacked up on the depth chart. You know you'll see a guy like one week he'll be with like the threes in the fours in preseason and then he has a big game and they give him a shot with the twos the next week. And that you know that kind of stuff will stand out not just from preseason DFS perspective but also for just like building our own depth charts and understanding hey you know if you know whatever running back goes down who might be next in line to get work. So I think it's not a good time to have takeaways about how good or bad a team is going to be in the regular season but it definitely can be very helpful in fantasy football. So let's talk about a couple of specific teams here Evan and dig into their win totals for 2019 starting off with a team that is near and dear to your hearts. Hugh Jackson is gone. The legacy of Sasha though does live with the Browns. He's got a job in the NBA now with the Browns win total but partially thanks to Sasha is now at nine and a half at Vanduul sportsbook with the under being minus 150 I think the Browns have gotten a lot of buzzes here Evan but I think that it's justified given the Odell Beckham edition given how much talent they have on their defensive line have sportsbooks done enough to account for the offseason changes the Browns have had or do you think the buzz has made the Browns bit overrated. Well from what I've seen they opened at nine wins flat and they've moved up to nine and a half in most spots but now you are getting some favorable juice on their wind total over and I've them projected as a nine to 11 win team and I like over on nine and a half still so I like that bet but I do have two pretty big concerns and I think that anytime that you make a bet whether it be you know just playing a guy in daily fantasy whether it be picking a guy in season long fantasy whether it be you know betting on a total or betting on a side you want to really look at you want to play the devil's advocate out in your mind and so what where you know what are some where some ways that this could go wrong our offensive line guru established the run dot com Brandon Thorne Thorne he has the Browns offensive line rate six worst in the lead and I agree that it's at very best a bottom 10 unit and then I'm worried about their depth as a team you look at a lot of the upper echelon teams the true upper echelon teams have kind of proven it whereas the Browns have not yet the Eagles Colts Patriots these teams have really impressive depth behind their starters the Browns have a great starting lineup but the bottom half of their roster isn't as impressive so I think that John Dorsey you know with the treasure trove of assets that Sasha Brown left behind after Sasha Brown you know laid in front of the tank and save the franchise John Dorsey has neglected two critical aspects of team building and that's offensive line play and roster depth and I think that those are two things that could prove to be the Browns Achilles heel with that said I still think they're good enough to get over nine and a half so that's where I stand with the Browns right now he mentioned the starters on the offensive line but even like the starters mean Greg Robinson was awesome for the second half of last year in the Freddie kitchens but the longer track record on him is questionable so if you've got that question mark at left tackle paired with you know the now questions they have on the right side as well I understand why there is some there's some pretty serious question marks up front for the Browns I agree that I would probably prefer the over there but I think that the offensive line mark is definitely one to keep in mind there with the Browns with Greg Robinson specifically does that does that worry you and are you trying to keep an eye on him early in the season to see if there is any regression for him from what he did last year or did you just want to kind of you know let it ride for a larger sample and trust what you saw the second after last year yeah absolutely I think they have two good offensive linemen two good offensive linemen and it's JC Treader the center who is kind of battle injuries in his career and it's a left guard Joel Batonia who's starting to get up there a little bit in age and then you have Greg Robinson who you know I've talked to like Browns like game tape analysts and you know they talk about how he was very much helped by the scheme helped by having tight end help last year and they're going to need to help him they signed Demetris Harris from the chiefs and he's going to essentially act as a six offensive linemen but when you have to devote another you know another guy who could be running a route to blocking on the offensive line essentially you know you're putting yourself at a little bit of a disadvantage Chris Hubbard went from their right tackle went from you know playing under Mike Munchak with the Steelers and really being a sit like a swing offensive linemen Pittsburgh to being a full-time starter last year right tackle wasn't very good and they traded away their best offensive linemen Kevin Zeitler and they're trying to replace him with you know the potential bus that John Dorsey drafted last year with the 33rd overall pick Austin Corbett and I mean this guy has not even been able to beat out Kyle Kalis an undrafted guy so there's definitely some volatility involved in this offensive line and they're going to have to work around that the good news is that they did work around it to some extent last year they had the same set of tackles in the second half with you know after Freddy kitchens replaced Hugh Jackson as the and Todd Haley as the offensive mastermind and also Todd Monk in their offensive coordinator worked with a kind of sub par offensive line last year in Tampa Bay and they finished top four in the NFL in yards per play so they do I think that they have enough like smarts in the coaching staff to work around this but it's still a concern. Yeah so having the the chiefs learned that Tyree kill will not be suspended they've added a past Russia Frank Clark to the defense they're 10 and a half wins there's plus one 15 juice on over where you sit with the chiefs right now. Yeah added Tyree and Matthew to their defense although they did lose Dee Ford and Justin Houston and Chris Jones their stud defensive tackle looks like he might hold out and the chiefs were one of the healthiest teams in the league last year I think there's a good chance that the chargers overtake them this year is the best team in the AFC West Division we remember you know Phillip Rivers and the chargers had a comeback win at Arrowhead last season one of the best games of the year and that was in a game where Keenan Allen went out of the game after like 12 snaps and based on opponent with wind totals the chiefs face the seventh toughest schedule in the league this year so I think I would generally not just I just wouldn't mess with this bet and you know but I but I think if you were you know gun to the head I'd probably take the under on 10 and a half because I think that they're more of a 9 to 11 win team then 10 to 12 and so that's kind of how and that's scary as hell though because Patrick Holmes is so damn good. Yeah and a big part of betting is knowing when not to bet too right yeah I mean they're just some wind totals where you just want to be like you know pass you know you really want to pick out like five to six you know last year picked out like five to six and hit on like you know four of the six and that's what you know that's where you want to be because you're not going to be able to get everything right you know because this stuff is hard to predict and games are decided by like fumble recovery rate and you know crazy shit you know and but yeah I think that the best way to do it is just pick out like the in the five or six that you like the most and bet the bit bet those and the chiefs would be like bottom five. So one of the busiest teams right now is the Cardinals they brought in Cliff Kingsbury they drafted Kyler Murray Kyler Murray the most efficient quarterback consistent season in the history of college football the over on their five win total is minus 120 and I think for fantasy we're going to love the Cardinals I think that Pat Thorman is going to talk about the Cardinals pretty often and his column on establish the run but it's a rookie head coach a rookie a rookie quarterback some shakiness on their offensive line as well and though Patrick Peterson for the first six games when you get the win total here for the Cardinals do you see any value in either side of that line. So here's the thing I think that the only bet here pretty much is over you know it's a pretty rare circumstance where betting the under on five wins is a plus expected value move in general because the NFL has so much variance because of the damn fumble recovery rate you know and the one score outcomes go so much into determining final record so I think it would just very rare circumstance where betting the under on five wins would be smart. So I think if you're going to bet him at all you pretty much have to bet the over but with that said you know this would be like a middle of the pack team in terms of not in terms of how good I think they're going to be although they might be in the middle of the pack but in terms of like if I was going to rank teams to bet based on their win totals it wouldn't be one that I'm super excited about but I wouldn't be afraid of it but losing Patrick Peterson for six games. I mean that really really hurts here from a win total perspective. Absolutely.  Year three with Sean McVeigh hopefully getting a healthy Cooper cutback. What do you think about them at 10 and a half wins with minus 150 on the under. They talk about their losses up front it's pretty concerning the replacements to the guys that they lost up front on the interior offensive line. Roger Saffold and John Sullivan are Joseph Noteboom and Brian Allen. These guys have combined to play 110 career snaps in the NFL. Roger Saffold and John Sullivan 236 career starts and you know the difference between Jared golf's performance when he was kept clean versus when he has been under pressure is really stark last year he was number four in the NFL in passer rating in clean pockets but he was number 22 in the NFL out of 30 against pressure and his 2018 trajectory I think is concerning at least on paper from December on eight game sample like all of December in the playoffs completed just 57.7 percent of his passes you average six and a half yards for pass attempt and he had a 7 to 8 touchdown interception ratio and he was under a pressure a lot more than usual during that time span he did not have Cooper Cup which also you know people draw straight line between that and his production and I get that but is Cooper Cup going to come back and be you know the quick twitch slot receiver coming off a torn ACL that he you know has been early in his career I'm not entirely sold on that so I'm very much in the camp that believes that Jared golf is a product of the sum of his parts as opposed to a true like field general and orchestrator and I think the parts around him are worse this year and so I kind of like the under where you can win even if they just win 10 games I also think that every team in the NFC West or at least the 49ers and Cardinals for sure are going to be better than last year I'm not sure about the Seahawks they might actually be worse but they still have Russell Wilson as their quarterback so not the easiest division to play in. Yeah definitely not and Joseph no boom also transitioning to guard and Drachen has a tackle so an extra little obstacle in there for them as well you mentioned the Ravens is a team you're watching closely here early on any other team stand out to you when you were doing your team previous Evan as potentially having inefficient wind totals that you know are in those top five or six you're looking to bet for 2019. Yeah so and I know I just talked about how betting the under on low wind total teams is dicey and probably minus expected value but even after the Dolphins wind total dropped from five to four and a half I think I still like the under because so you're getting it with plus juice now after the total drops so the plus you know you're getting good juice on it and I very much think that this is a zero to four wind team Brandon Thorne again our offensive line guru has the Dolphins with easily the worst offensive line in the league like there's like a gap between them in the Texans on paper and we already know pretty much that multiple quarterbacks are going to play this year the past rush is honestly hilarious Charles Harris and then like they have no one in terms of past rush they're not stopping anyone on defense they faced one of the ten toughest schedules in the NFL based on opposing wind totals and I think this team is worse than that Browns team that went 0 and 16 in terms of personnel in terms of coaching doesn't get worse than Hugh Jackson and Greg well but in terms of personnel I think that this is it's a way worse team in terms of personnel than that 0 and 16 Browns team. Alrighty that is Evan Silva of establish the run calm Evan we're going to let you go so you can get some sleep get one of those naps in get yourself ready for some preseason DFS looking forward to reading all your content up on establish the run will hopefully talk to you again soon thanks for coming on thanks for having me fellas covering the future one final thank you once again to Evan Silva of establish the run calm for joining us again to follow him on Twitter at Evan Silva and all this work is up on establish the run.com let's move now to cover in the future of the segment we take a look ahead and look at our numbers look at our processes and try to find some bets that we view as being plus EV as of right now and we've been talking about your college football rankings your college football wind totals up on the power rank calm trying to find some value there we're going to go more in depth on those next week on Tuesday when you look at those numbers right now is there one that stands out to you that you really want to hammer home right now yeah I mean the team I really want to talk about as the Nebraska corn huskers so this is a team that doesn't necessarily look great in my preseason rankings they're 50 second and there's a really good reason why they don't look particularly good I have a linear regression model that does these preseason rankings and they look over a four year period of team history and the way I measure how good a team has performed is through my team rankings they essentially take margin of victory in games and adjust restraint the schedule now when you look at Nebraska over the last four years it's not a rosy picture they were 50th last year in 2018 that was Scott Frost first year they were four and eight they were definitely a better team than four and eight which we'll get into but the year before that they were 68 the my rank rankings 2007 that was good enough to get Mike Riley fired 49th in 2016 so again you know not a great team 46 in 2015 and my you know my model doesn't take that long 2015 too seriously but but it's in there because teams tend to persist in college football so Nebraska is going to get preseason top 25 hype and and I actually think this team does have a lot of upside and it all kind of starts with a quarterback position Adrian Martinez was was really really good as a true freshman last year in 2018 led this team and the offense was pretty good but the other reason that I think this team has a lot of upside is the quarterback coaching so the quarterback coach is named Mario Redusco and he's an interesting character who's Bruce Feldman recently profiled him in the athletic and you know this is a guy that has like motion control textbooks on his bookshelf right next to Bill Walsh and and Nietzsche so he's a very intellectual guy but but what's really interesting is his results so he was in northern Illinois for a while he joined Scott Frost at Oregon and you know we're not going to give him credit for coaching Marcus Mariota in his last year in college but then the two of those guys went to central Florida and in their first year they had a freshman quarterback named Mackenzie Milton and their past offense was terrible they were a hundred 18th when I look at adjusted yards per attempts not good bottom 10 type FBS stuff the next year after a year of tutelage under Redusco they were second in the nation and that's when they really made that leap I think I'm pretty sure this year they were 13 and 0 national champions baby yeah exactly and you know a jump from bottom 10 to top 2 is is remarkable and you know I noticed that jump back in 2017 and you know it's like oh well Scott Frost is great you know you got the quarterback playing his game and throwing and but when you really look into it it's probably the quarterback coaching with Redusco and the things that he's doing and the way he's training these guys and above and beyond that like it's really Adrian Martinez the kids clearly talented if he can take any kind of leap beyond what he did last year I think they're going to be pretty good and and that's why you're going to see this team in top 25 polls this year they do have some issues on defense especially the interior of the defensive line they weren't particularly good last year and all those guys are back this year but you know it's my model says 6.6 wins and this is an example of where you don't say oh my model has under 8.5 wins let's go bet it actually don't think that's a bet at all and and I just want to be clear about you know where analytics comes in like you it is a great objective baseline for you to start evaluating these teams but you really need to know the story behind these teams and I don't really like 8.5 wins I think Nebraska is going to be very interesting team and one I'll be watching very closely in 2018 and again like we discussed with Evan there's value in knowing when you shouldn't make a bet and I think that that's potentially one of the cases here I know you're in Big Ten country out in Michigan now have you ever been to Lincoln for a game? I have not I hear it's pretty remarkable you got to go so I grew up in Minnesota and Minnesotans like to claim that they are nice like Minnesota nice as a thing right they have nothing on Nebraska people interesting like yeah I remember yeah like I was I was doing radio with Northwestern and fly with the team and stuff and they had defeated Northwestern on a Hail Mary and as we were walking back to the bus with the Northwestern players all the Nebraska fans were saying oh you guys played great we hope we do well the rest of the season and I was like so confused I'm like used to like Michigan State fans like right flipping me off across the street and the even the Nebraska people are just like hey hope you have a great rest of the season have a nice flight back and I'm like I want to live here and it's like I've never had the urge to live in Lincoln Nebraska until that exact moment yeah that's really interesting I've heard that they're even they even treat Texas fans that way from back in their big 12 rivalry days that's a true test yes yes exactly yeah I mean there you know that T that fan base went through some remarkable turmoil last year in terms of an oh and six start and what was interesting about that oh and six start was that you know they had better yards per play in five out of those six games I mean they got they got stomped by Michigan game I was at here at the big house but besides that game they actually played pretty well and when you get better yards per play then an opposing team you went about 80% of the time so a lot of bad luck in that stretch obviously were better four and six down the last games and and you know I you know I talked about last time about Texas I don't see a lot of optimism there kind of believe my model there it's just not the case here I mentioned agent Martinez we may be talking about him on Monday actually yeah because Edward e-gross is going to join us on Monday to talk Heisman betting some bets he likes whether he likes betting to a tongue of ILOA and and the favorites or if he'd rather go a little bit longer this bet up on Fandall's sports book about Trevor Lawrence or Tua versus the fields we'll talk about that as well so follow Edward e-gross on Twitter as well we'll talk to him on Monday and Ed you talked about some times where you want to go counter to the analytics and I actually I'm not a similar vein here from my cover in the future segment because if you go to Number Fire right now and check out the team rankings they they project the Atlanta Falcons as having 21% odds making the playoffs and if Fandall's sports book the Falcons are plus 138 to make the playoffs which is an implied probability of 42% which is double what Number Fire has but I still think I want to bet the Falcons to make the playoffs because I think those odds are too long for a quarterback who is as efficient as Matt Ryan has been and who is as efficient as I expect Matt Ryan to be this year because he finished sixth last year in net expected points per drop back he was third in overall expected points added as a passer and if you look at Ryan's career that's the fourth time in 11 seasons he has been the top five in total padding passing net of times throughout his career and those guys don't miss the playoffs very often he has been in the top 10 in net expected points added as a passer five straight seasons and now he gets a beefed up offensive line Chris Lindstrom and Caleb McGarry are on the right side of that line that generally leads to an increased offensive efficiency it's a second year of Calvin Ridley though he did get looked like he pulled this handy in practice on Thursday fourth year of Austin Hooper it's keeping on Ridley but this is an offense that's probably going to score a ton of points this year and it's a defense that's set for pretty major in injury regression because last year they're ranked 25th in adjusted games lost on defense according to football outsider isn't it wasn't just that they lost you know game today injuries they were big losses Keanu Neal Dion Jones those are two of the biggest players in the defense and they both got hurt early on and Jones came back later on but Neal did not and that's a big loss for a defense right at the middle of the field if their defense can with how good I expect this offense to be personally they can win a lot of games so yes the numbers you know at number fire don't give them the best odds to make the playoffs but I think that when you combine injury regression defensively with how efficient I expect Matt Ryan to be with that beefed up offensive line and the receivers that he has I think it does make sense to bet the Falcons to make the playoffs at 138 the NFC South has an aging Drew Brees there one not sure they'll be good though and Cam Newton some questions around his shoulder too so I think the Falcons are actually a pretty good bet to make the playoffs and even though the numbers don't back it up I kind of like him at plus 138 and any thoughts for you on the Falcons here for 2019 I mean I completely agree with you about what I think about the offense Matt Ryan Julio Jones and everything you said I'm a little bit worried about the defense aside of the ball sure I feel like you know last year when I look at success rate adjusted for strength the schedule they were 29th the previous years it was one of those things where they kind of looked okay in my numbers when I was looking at yards for past attempts adjusted for schedule but it never really felt like a great defense and then obviously with some injuries last year and then not a lot of you know big acquisitions on that side of the ball in the off season right so that that's the only thing that concerns me about that team right now you know get win totals and back out NFL rankings from them you know Falcons are 11th 12th so I think that's about right you know and and you know really depends on the defense aside of the ball you know like how how great can the offense be you know can the defense get to mediocre I think that's what you got to be the balance there is really going to decide their fate the season and I think that the the points that backs up what you were saying there is that it implies our defense is fragile and there's a lot of fragility there because there's not enough depth and that's a concern for sure so I think that that is a good counterpoint to make for sure and something to keep in mind here at the Falcons but plus 138 I'll take that for sure that is all we have for this week on covering the spread and anything for you over at the power rank this week or anything on your podcast yeah actually I had Gadoon Corollos he goes by Spanky on Twitter he's a professional sports better and you know I've known Spanky and I had him on the show and I learned a ton I was like I walked away from that my mind was really changed I mean not necessarily changed but his approach is so different from kind of what you hear a lot in the sports betting world I think it's worth a listen whether you bet on games or not I think it was just that interesting and he's so passionate about what he does right and you don't often get people who do this for open about his methods you know when this when it could potentially affect his business I thought he was super generous with with his information and football analytics show most recent episode yeah and you can find that wherever you get podcasts I was listening on Spotify today so you can find it there that's my preferred place for podcast so make sure you find that there and follow Ed on Twitter at the power rank you can also subscribe rate interview wherever you get your podcasts covering the spread is up there I am at Jim
