00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,400

Speaker 1: yeah exactly. Um and uh yeah, this is what this is.

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: This is going into my twenty first year in this industry.

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy brow. Yeah, you're years old enough to drink

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: exactly right. So what did you do for New Year's Uh?

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, I just a couple of house parties. Uh.

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: My girlfriend had some friends who had a party, So

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: I I grudgingly made the trek up to the valley

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: up to Encino. Um, which, for those of you don't

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: leave in Los Angeles like going if you live on

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: one side of the hill and you have to go

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: to the valley like friendships have ended over like exactly.

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: Friends move with the valley like friendships have ended over less.

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: So I grudgingly took an uber up to Encino for

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then I had some friends who

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: had a house party, so it was nice. And on

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: the way back home we get stop at the second

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: party and but it was a good night. There we go. Yeah,

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and family and friends who went to uh

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: dinner came home confident that we were going to make

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: it until midnight. Did not. Before we get into things,

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: we got to introduce our pal, the man, the myth,

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: the legend who's wearing a Knicks hat today, Edward Murphy Esquire,

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: as Marcus likes to call you. Yeah, maybe going to

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: I think the Knicks are in town? Actually, is anyone

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: going to go? They? Look, you know, I'm not saying

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: they're a good team, but they've been playing a lot

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: better since the coaching change, a little bit of a spark.

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: So yeah, so said if I go to the game,

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: So of them losing to the Clippers by twenty, they

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: lose by ten, which is you know, like uh uh,

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, just as long as you play the young

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: guys keep in line for your pick. That's that's less

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: state of New York sports really outside of the Yankees,

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: just like keep it close and just keep tanking the

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: better draft picks. Kind of a rough Girlfriend's it's a

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: really really bad time. I mean, Dave Damage does his

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: yearly Sonic Award of the team the city rather that

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: has the worst overall uh sports like landscape going on,

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: and this year's winner was Cleveland. But you know what

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: I said, Los Angeles outside of maybe the two basketball teams,

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: and unfortunately the New York outside of really I guess

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: the Nets made the playoffs, but really the Yankees, like

53
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: that's it, like it's it's it's a bad time for

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: at least those two major cities. Yeah, I mean at

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: least l A. L A has got well, the Rams

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of fell on their face this year, brand and

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Charges had the expectations fell store USC, the King's sort

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, you know, had their good year. I

59
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: I My argument about that was, and and Dave kind

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: of agreed, was like with the flamed out, Yeah, and

61
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: you expect to have Clayton kersh all, you gotta make

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: it over the hump once and they have and eventually,

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: like that's what gets you into that party, like it's

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: it's the amount of disappointment. I think. Yeah, that's fair,

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: that's fair. Yeah, Um, I was speaking of disappointment. Uh

66
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: my pal Dwayne Donald Patances was on Chris Russo Show.

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: We're in Mets gear. He'll be back in there. He's

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna rehab, but the Mets will be back in the air.

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: It's fine that the Yankees pharmacystems is. Yeah, you got injuries,

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna miss most of year. He'll rehab with the Mets

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: on the Mets dime. We'll come back to the Yankees,

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: and he wants to win. Sorry, it's still kind of

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: bummed that. I love Dylan. He's a good dude. Um,

74
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: great fantasy player as well. So, um, we typically on Friday,

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: as you guys know, we get right into the games.

76
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: We have four games this weekend, and we're gonna be

77
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: talking a lot about DFS because of course traditional Fantasy

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: is over. I'm not going to mention what's going on

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys because we haven't in house confirmed any

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: thing yet. Like we've heard reports from Edward or that

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna move on. Marcus believes that they're

82
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: just waiting until his contracts is up. He's gonna take it.

83
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to actually fire him. Jerry's taking knee

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: and running out the clock whatever whatever. I don't know, man,

85
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: it's got no more time outs. Jarry's gonna run it

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: out anybody but Garrett. That's that's that's Uh, that's how

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: I feel right now. So UM, other than that, most

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: of the news is going to be related to injuries

89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: as it pertains to the games this weekend. So uh, Eddie,

90
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: let's get things started and uh, Saturday's first game of

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: wild Card weekend Bills at Texans. The injuries in this

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: game that we are monitoring, uh basically the Texans wide

93
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: receivers Uh Will Fuller, who is uh seemingly always hurt. Uh.

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: It's too bad too, man. This guy, if he could

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: ever stay healthy, man, he could be a very good

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: fantasy player. Are James Palmer's reporting that uh he is

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: a real long shot to play this weekend against the Bills,

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: which you would think is going to mean more targets

99
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: for Kenny Stills of the night because I can never

100
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: mention Kenny Stills about thinking about White Snake. Uh still

101
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: is not listed on the final injury reports, so he

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: will be a go and potentially a DFS play this week.

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Now we are going to talk about Playoff Challenge as well,

104
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: And if you don't know about Playoff Challenge, we'll give

105
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you sort of a quick a quick description. You can

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: play anybody that you want. You get multipliers for each

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: round that your players start and advance in the playoffs.

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: So it's different than DFS because you're basing your decisions

109
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: based on value and how how well that team you

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: believe is going to do in the playoffs and and

111
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: continue to move on. So let's start off with Deshaun Watson. Now,

112
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: last time we talked about Shaun Watson, he was stinking

113
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: up that stadium in Tampa right and killing your fantasy

114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams. What are you looking at this week?

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not excited about it. Um. You know

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: that that that Bill's secondary has been tough and for

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Avis White has locked down plenty of people so far

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: this season. And you wonder I would I would guess

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: they're going to travel him perhaps and keep him on

120
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: New Copkins all game long. So that isn't super exciting.

121
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: So you've got to hope if you are bold enough

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: to play Deshaun Watson that he gets out of the

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: pocket and he makes some things happen with his legs.

124
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: That is how he's going to generate any kind of offense,

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: uh for for the Texans for your DFS lineup. So

126
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 1: but either way, I don't know that he is my

127
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: favorite quarterback start of wild Card weekend. He's a guy

128
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: that I'd be cautious about. Yeah, no, I'm I'm absolutely

129
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: uh right there with you, um Watson and he you know,

130
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: he goes up and down. I mean, you know, he

131
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: has great games, he has he has really mediocre games

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: in traditional that that killed me uh in one of

133
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: my leagues this season. So you know, I get it.

134
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: You know, he's a big name, the top five quarterback.

135
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: It's not the best matchup in the world. And you know, typically,

136
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't believe in the Texans as a

137
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: playoff team. So so the Texans game usually like, that's

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the game where I go run errands. Yeah right, exactly exactly, Yeah,

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go to target. Like, so I'll throw it

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: on the rating playoff challenge on not playing Deshaun Watson. Um,

141
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: we we'll get into that. Carlos High, Duke Johnson, any

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: interest in any one of these two guys, I mean,

143
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Duke in DFS is going to be a better value.

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, but I think Carlos Hide is

145
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be the more productive option. I mean, the

146
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: guy who has been better all year long because he

147
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: seems to have more of a defined role in this offense.

148
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Duke is sort of that Swiss army knife. He's one

149
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: of those players that we talked about a lot that

150
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: who is good in actual football because he's versatile, could

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: do a lot of things, not so great in a

152
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective because he does so many things, he doesn't

153
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: necessarily focus in one place. So Carlos Hi, You're you're right,

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson is the better value necessarily. Carlos Hide is

155
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the guy I think that has a better path to

156
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: touches into production, especially against the Bill's run defense that

157
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: has been sort of up and down this year. Yeah,

158
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: keep in mind that, um, you know, that defense did

159
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: get better against the run his season as the season

160
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: we're on. Enemy running backs just scored two touch downs

161
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: an average freer than twenty fantasy points per game against

162
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo over the last four weeks of the regular season.

163
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: So Carlos Hyde is a tough one for me. Uh Now,

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: new Compkins in traditional fantasy football, he's a must start,

165
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean just starting him. I don't like him in

166
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: DFS this week. He's the second most highly priced player

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: behind of course, Michael Thomas, and the matchup is not good.

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I'd rather, I'd rather invest my loute

169
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: into Michael Thomas than than New Coins. Yeah, and that's

170
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I mentioned earlier because I just

171
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Bills are going to lock

172
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: him down with Trdavious White, or least attempt to lock

173
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: him down with Trdavious White. And we've seen Nuke have

174
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: some less than great games this season. He's had some

175
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: tough matchups and that he struggled to sort of overcome.

176
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I think it's possible that the Bills trying to find

177
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a way to take him out of this game. And

178
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you're right, like on a and this being a one

179
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: week situation, a one game scenario, I don't know that

180
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about DeAndre Hopkins, especially with the value

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: that that you might be getting him at in DFF. Yeah,

182
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: no about that. I mean Darren Fells. Also, you know,

183
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: at this point you have so few options. If you're

184
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: talking about DFS, I think you're gonna be doing a

185
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: little bit better than him. Now on the Buffalo side

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: of things, Josh Allen has the best matchup of any

187
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: quarterback based on fantasy points. And you're looking at the numbers. Uh,

188
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: the Texans have given up more than twenty fantasy points

189
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: per game in the position. UH. Their defense is a

190
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of top eleven fantasy quarterback and nine of their

191
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: last twelve games. So while playoff challenge is not somewhere

192
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: that I would start Josh Allen because I don't know

193
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: how far the Bills are gonna advance, I do think

194
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the Texans. And this week in DFS,

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: I love John Brown. He he is the he's the third,

196
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: He's the third pricest quarterback. But I think it could

197
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: be worth it. John Brown's a good play for you.

198
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I love John Brown against the Texans secondary. I mean,

199
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are gonna try to take some

200
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: deep shots here and I think that that Brown can

201
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: get behind this defense. Cole Beasley is not a terrible

202
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: play um, but he's definitely more of a volume shooter

203
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: so to speak. He's going to be the guy that

204
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: gets a lot of those underneath targets, and you hope

205
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: maybe he turns one into a long catch and run.

206
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: But and I think I think they take a couple

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: of pops over the top with John Brown, and he's

208
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: the guy who doesn't need a whole lot of targets

209
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: in order to be productive. He catches a couple of

210
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: deep balls and gets in the end zone. You and

211
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: the print having a pretty nice day. Yeah, could I

212
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: interest you in a Devin Singletary in DFS? Now? Keep

213
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: in mind during the regular season, the Texans gave up

214
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: the fifth most fantasy points of running back, so they

215
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: were pretty vulnerable that position. Also, when you start Devin Singletary,

216
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: you have to sort of deal with the specter of

217
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen getting goal line opportunities and potentially Frank Gore

218
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: as well. Uh. Singletary and the flex starter conversation in

219
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: DFS for you, I think, I think that's the drink.

220
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: That's the first first one. Um, not not really, just

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: because there's no touchdown upside there at all. And if

222
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: it would be a different feeling for me if he

223
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: were just a target monster out of the backfield, but

224
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: he isn't necessarily that. I mean, his his high target

225
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: game this year was eight that was back in Week

226
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: fourteen against the Ravens. He's only you know, six catches

227
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: was his high so far this year. He's never had

228
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't had fifty receiving yards in a game. So

229
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: that part of his game is just not there enough

230
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: for me to feel really confident about it. So I

231
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: think I would probably fade him this week just because

232
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: he's not doing enough between the twenties and as you mentioned,

233
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: near the goal line, it's Josh Allen, it's occasionally Frank Gore,

234
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: it's anybody. But look, the last touchdown he scored was

235
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day, and that was a trick play. It

236
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: was a pass from John Brown. Yeah, that says a

237
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: lot part. Whatever. Anyways, let's be one Titans at Patriots.

238
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: This game is interesting to me. Uh. I like the Titans, man,

239
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: I feel like, do you think the Titans are gonna

240
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: work that? I think the Titans are gonna win the game?

241
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: That I really do. That is the prevailing thought. I

242
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: think they will win the game. And you know, I'll

243
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: probably be wrong because just when it looks like the

244
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: Patriots have a little week that's going on. That's when

245
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: they come out if they lost to the freaking Dolphins

246
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: at home last week, right, except I mean, are they

247
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: playing possum. I don't know they wanted to win that

248
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: game because they would have had a first run by

249
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: and now they have to get right through every round

250
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: out right. Except, So here's the thing. If you believe

251
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: in in things just working out for the Patriots, there

252
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: is a pretty big storm I think coming through Massachusetts. Yes,

253
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, a big one, and I think it's

254
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: called winter Storm Henry Henry. Oh you're saying so you're

255
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: saying that El Tractor Sito might end up being that

256
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: through Foxburg. Let me let's make you're correct. Let me

257
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: confirm that winter Storm Henry expected to hit in New England. Yes,

258
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: I used to live there. Those storms are no fun.

259
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: So Derrick Henry not only could storm through that Patriots defense,

260
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: but winner Storm Henry could make this game a whole

261
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: hell of a lot of fun. Watch who doesn't like

262
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: watching games? It'll it'll be a lot of fun watching

263
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: it from my couch with a beverage and some food.

264
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I remember this vaguely. I'm pretty sure there was a

265
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: game at Foxborough in the snow where Tom Brady had

266
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: six touchdown passes against Tennessee. I think, hey, then my

267
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: member is pretty decent if I remember correctly, Not that

268
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: he's going to do it this week. But I'm just saying,

269
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: but doesn't I know, I get it the Patriots, you

270
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: know that, you know, the team from the Northeast and

271
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: then but the Titans whole game is predicated on running

272
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: the football, smash mouth. So does this bother them at all?

273
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I mean they just hand the ball to

274
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and kind of let him do his thing.

275
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: And look, when it is cold like that, I would assume, well,

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: first off, tackling Derrick Henry just doesn't seem like it

277
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: would be fun any circumstances, but especially when it's cold

278
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: and wet and you're just getting tired, that seems super unfun.

279
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: So so maybe this does work out in the Titans benefit.

280
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: But it just you know, immediately saw winter storm Henry

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: coming and I'm like, you know, this is this is

282
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: this is an equalizer potentially, you know, for a for

283
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: a team in the Patriots app isn't playing their best football. Yeah,

284
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman is dealing with multiple injuries. Uh, he drew

285
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: a questionable tag, but I would assume that he would

286
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: go and assuming there is no setbacks, I like him

287
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: this week in DFS play. Uh, he actually comes at

288
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: a pretty reasonable price compared to the other you know,

289
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: top flight wide receivers. This week, the Titans have given

290
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: up ten touchdowns and the fourth most fantasy points to

291
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: slot receivers this year. So Edelman, who's gonna get a

292
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: lot of targets. Even if it's snowing like crazy there,

293
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be able to throw the football. I believe. Um,

294
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: he's a He's a guy that you would play again,

295
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: assuming there's no setbacks. Now let's go back to the Titans.

296
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has been and again you could you could

297
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter and tell me I'm crazy.

298
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: He's playing in the m v P level ever since

299
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: he took over that Titan's job as the starting quarterback,

300
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: and he's in. He's led this team into the playoffs.

301
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill to me, is a sneaky DFS play and

302
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: a sneaky playoff challenge. I'm not gonna play him in

303
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: playoff challenge because uh, and we'll get to that later.

304
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: But Tannehill has been good, no mat out of the opponent,

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: and you might look at the Patriots defense and think, well,

306
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this defense has been one of the

307
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: best in the league against quarterbacks. While that's been true overall, lately,

308
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: this defense has not been as good. Josh Allen had

309
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: a decent game against them, Okay, pretty decent, and so

310
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: did Ryan Fitzpatrick. So for talking about recent production from

311
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback position against England, it's not pretty good. No,

312
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: I agree. I think Ryan Tannehill is not a bad

313
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: play this week at all. I'm curious to see whether

314
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: or not he flashes his rushing ability a little bit

315
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: more this week because he hasn't done it in a

316
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: huge way. He hasn't had to. Mean it's it's not

317
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: like you know, he's he can't do it, he just

318
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: hasn't had to. Um. We talked about Derrick Henry and

319
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: how much they would likely try to run the football

320
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: with him, but when they do throw the football one

321
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this and it doesn't look like the

322
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: wind is going to be very high this weekend. Now

323
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: it may be rainy, I don't know if it turns

324
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: into snow potentially, who knows. But um, it's not gonna

325
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: be really windy, which means they can try to throw

326
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: the football. But the other part of this is if

327
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots decide they want to play man, right, if

328
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: they have to turn their back to the quarterback, because

329
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: that's what killed them against Lamar Jackson. They tried to

330
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: play man occasionally, and when those dbs turn their back,

331
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: then Lamar is likely to take off. If the Titans

332
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: can do that with Ryan Tanning, I think that really

333
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: changes the dynamic of the game. My other question is,

334
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: how do we feel about say A J. Brown this week? Yeah? Well, uh,

335
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: going back to the Patriots defense, Josh Allen and Ryan

336
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick combined to score over forty four Fantasy points. Both

337
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: of them had over twenty uh last two pundents for

338
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I like a J. Brown. I mean, I'm

339
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: not gonna say that these matchup proof. But what did

340
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker just do just to find Gilmore? Oh? He

341
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: lit him up. I'm telling you the Patriots defense has

342
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: has taken a bit of a downward turn when it

343
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: comes to being so difficult when it comes to the

344
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: fantasy matchup. I play a J. Brown this week? Yeah,

345
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: I play J. He's hot dude. I mean, that's the

346
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: only guy I play, Um Henry notwithstanding obviously he's gonna

347
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: be one of the top plays. Uh. This week, he's

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball a ton And if it's snowing

349
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: and it's you know, winner winner Land out there, he's

350
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball even more. Uh, Johnny Smith to

351
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: me a little bit of a sleeper. I think I

352
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: could do better Titans defensive special teams. If you don't

353
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: like to spend on defenses and dfs, and typically I

354
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: don't like to do that. I like to try and

355
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: grab a under the radar kind of matchup. The Dolphins

356
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: scored eleven fantasy points against against New England last week

357
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: on their home field, just saying at the Titans defense

358
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: might not be that bad of a play. If you

359
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: want to sort of punt that down the road and

360
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: think I don't want to spend on I don't want

361
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: to spend on the Saints this week, for example, I'm

362
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: gonna spend a little bit less. Titans could end up

363
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: being a decent option. Yeah. I have a feeling that

364
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: this could be a fairly low scoring game, right Like

365
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: I if the weather is bad, which it looks like

366
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: it's going to be. I don't necessarily see either one

367
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: of these teams putting up a ton of points. The

368
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Patriots have struggled to move the football for the last

369
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: few weeks. That's certainly possible. Um I'm looking and you know,

370
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Rex Birkehead is a really good value. Yeah, he could be.

371
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: And I know that Sony Michelle is not on the

372
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: injury report, but I don't know that that matters anymore.

373
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think they just are starting

374
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: to pivot towards Rex Birkhead because he's sort of that

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: hybrid between Michelle and James White. You can catch the football,

376
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: he can run the football effectively. He's he's kind of

377
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: a big, stronger guy between the tackles. I think. You know, again,

378
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: if you're looking for values there, Rex Burkhead, I think

379
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: is a nice play. And Michelle is actually he's not

380
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: that expensive this week, and he is averaging over nineteen

381
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: carries in his last three games, So the Patriots are

382
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: getting They don't use him in the passing game, but

383
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: they're starting to lean on in a little bit more. Snow. Hey,

384
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, Michelle is worth a look. Tom Brady is not,

385
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: unless you believe in that Brady paid playoff magic, which

386
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he'll bring it back. But I mean,

387
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: he's failed to score more than fifteen fantasy points and

388
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: three of his last four games, Uh, he scored fourteen

389
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: point and against the Dolphins and they're terrible? Did you?

390
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: Did you like read? And I don't know that there's

391
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: any truth to this that like people are talking about

392
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: Brady playing for the Chargers next season. Really I don't

393
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: believe it. I mean, I don't believe it, but it

394
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: is interesting to see that some of those rumors are

395
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: going around. I know it's Tom Brady, but why would

396
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers go from one old quarterback? Don't um Patriots

397
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: defense special teams this week's clearly it was the best

398
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: defense in fantasy football and traditional leagues. Uh, still playable,

399
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: but not without their faults. Right now, I get it.

400
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: We see the entire season. You gotta look at what

401
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: teams have been doing or not doing. More recently Vikings

402
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: at Saints. Now, there's a lot of injuries to talk

403
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: about in this game. Daln Cook obviously missed the last

404
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: the last week's game and hasn't played in a couple

405
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: of weeks. He looks like he's training in the right direction.

406
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison looks like he's trying in the right direction.

407
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: Xavier Roads. Not that it matters at this point. I

408
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: mean Xavir Roads. I don't really played play. Hasn't that

409
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: played great foot great football this season? So um and

410
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: regardless doesn't matter because whoever he ends up covering on

411
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: that Saints defense, on that Sts office is gonna just smash.

412
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: So Dalvin Cook, Now, the Saints have been good against

413
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: the run. He's coming off of multiple injuries, and I

414
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't want him in DFS because the price

415
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: is so high, and I don't want him in playoff

416
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: Challenge because I don't think the Vikings have a chance

417
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: to win this game. Um yeah, I don't. I don't

418
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: think the Vikings are gonna win this game. And it

419
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: is again for DFS between the value you know where

420
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to spend to get him and going

421
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: against a decent Saints defense, especially because I feel like

422
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: the Saints can run off to a lead in this one,

423
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: and that might that might impact how much Cook gets

424
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: the ball. And they forced Kirk Cousins to try to

425
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: throw the football a little bit more to stay in

426
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: this football game. So yeah, I you know, I could

427
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: see myself maybe try to tinker with the lineup that

428
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: has Dalvin Cook, but I don't know how many of

429
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: them will have like that. Kirk Cusins, Now, Kirk Custins

430
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: is one of the more inexpensive quarterbacks in the week.

431
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: And you know, we only have you know, four games.

432
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: If you look at Kirk cousins numbers lately, they haven't

433
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: been all that great, all right. Cousins has failed to

434
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: score more than eighteen fantasy points in four straight games.

435
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: The same the Saints have allowed fewer than sixteen points

436
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: per game. The quarterbackstions Week fourteen. Now, this game could

437
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: shoot out. This game could easily go way way over

438
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: the total. Person was gonna say, especially because they're playing

439
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: in the Dome. But both these teams playing But I

440
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: mean so, so if you believe that, then maybe Kirk

441
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: Cousins is a good play. But if you believe in

442
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: in sort of what these defenses have done all season long,

443
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins would be a fade to find. Diggs would

444
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: be a fade. Adam feeling is like where has he been?

445
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: Is super expensive this week based on what he's done

446
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: late since he's he's almost as expensive as Julian Edelman

447
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: on Draft Kings. He has done nothing since he's come

448
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: back manstring injury. I don't see any reason that anyone

449
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: would think to play him other than it's just you're

450
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: take in your shot. If you think this is going

451
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: to go over and it's going to be a high

452
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: scoring game, then maybe that's why. But I don't see

453
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: a reason why. I mean, he's what. He didn't did

454
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: he play at all against against the Bears in Week seventeen,

455
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't. He didn't registro any catches. I

456
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: know that he has. He has been invisible since he's

457
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: been back, whether he's been on the field or not,

458
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: he hasn't. He hasn't produced ever since theland has come back.

459
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: That's basically neutered Kyle Rudolph. You can't play him, and um,

460
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do with the Vikings defense

461
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Now, on the flip side, there's a

462
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of really good plays this week. Okay, Drew Brees

463
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: has been hot, red hot. He was a league winner.

464
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: He helped you navigate those fantasy playoff games, and he

465
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: was tremendous. And the Vikings can be vulnerable to the past.

466
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: They can be. Uh, they haven't been lately, but they

467
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: can be. And Breeze is likely going to be the

468
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: number two quarterback behind Lamar Jackson in playoff Challenge. But

469
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: I would guess this week there isn't a better to

470
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: back play in DFS. Probably not, Um, I would. Yeah,

471
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the quarterbacks available. Uh, I don't know. Well,

472
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get Seahawks. I could talk myself

473
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: into Russell Wilson maybe, but I think, just straight up,

474
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: I think it's Drew Brees and then some combination of

475
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: of Tannehill and or Wilson right behind him. But yeah,

476
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: I think I just for some reason, and I don't

477
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: really know why, but I just expect the Saints were

478
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna score a lot of points. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

479
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: that's that's that's fair. And um again, this could this

480
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: could shoot out, which you know, if you believe that

481
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins could be a place to find Diggs could

482
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: be a play for you this week in DFS. Um.

483
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: And And I wouldn't play anybody in a purple juiceally

484
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: for for playoff Challenge because I don't think the Vikings

485
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: are gonna win this game. Will Lutts is going to

486
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: be the kicker in a lot of playoff challenge lineups,

487
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: and so were the Saints defense. Uh, there'll be an

488
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: option this week as well. Final games. It's like the

489
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: Seahawks are a mess with in terms of injuries. I mean,

490
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: we already know because Jenny c J Process. I mean,

491
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: they're all banged up. Um, so you know what you're

492
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna get this week with the Seahawks. The backfield is

493
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: consisting of Marshawn Lynchon, Travis Homer Um, Russell Wilson's I

494
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: don't even know if the Eagles are so tough on

495
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at home. I feel like in DFS because of

496
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: the price, I'm gonna fade him. And I don't know

497
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: that I believe in the Seahawks anymore as a contending

498
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: team with all these injuries. Yeah, I mean, so the

499
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: Eagles are pretty banged up to although I think they

500
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: may be getting some of their guys back, but both

501
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: these teams are really just beat up coming into this one.

502
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I just so originally I picked the Seahawks to win

503
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm still gonna stand behind that. I

504
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: would agree with that, but and it's because of that.

505
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I think Russell will find a way. This just feels

506
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: like one of those games where Russell Wilson sort of

507
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: finds a way and it might not always be pretty,

508
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: but you know, whether it's it's him getting the ball

509
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: to DK Metcalf, when will Tyler Lockett come back to life?

510
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: Is this the weekend he comes back to life. He's

511
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: had one game against Carolina in the last month and

512
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: that's it. That has been it, and that's gonna that's

513
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: gonna shy people away from Tyler Lockett this week. Um yeah, So,

514
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think that that's working for us. I

515
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: guess the bigger question is what happens in that backfield, right,

516
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Because Marshawn Lynch got a few carries tolf carries in

517
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown last week. Um, and I know that. You know,

518
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: obviously everybody talks about the plays near the end where

519
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Seahawks had the delay of game and

520
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: so they didn't give Marshawn a chance from the one

521
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. I would think there's

522
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: a bigger workload in store for him this week because

523
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: they can't they can't lean on Travis Home, right, Think

524
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: it win his football. Yeah, no, I would agree with you.

525
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: There Where where Marshawn worries me in in daily play

526
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: is that he's going to continue to share the workload.

527
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: The Eagles have allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to

528
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: visiting running backs, at least they did during the regular season.

529
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: They were tough on running backs on their home field.

530
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: You know outside of the league, guys like Zeke for example,

531
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: that they were pretty tough. So and Lynch is gonna

532
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: cost a bit, so I don't know that i'd play

533
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: him in daily and again playoff challenge. You really want

534
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: to play players who you believe are going to be

535
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: on teams that advanced the first and I just don't.

536
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't maybe win maybe win one.

537
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: Whoever wins this game, that's it. Like I don't. I

538
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: don't see either the Seahawks or the Eagles winning more

539
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: than one game. And that's right. And in the playoff

540
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: challenge that that's a huge component to who you're playing.

541
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Uh d K. Again, the matchups good. The Eagles have

542
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: struggle against perimitter receivers all season long. Jacob Pollist is

543
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: sort of a mid range play at the tight end position.

544
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Now moving on to the Eagles, Miles Sanders looks like

545
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back this week. He avoided the high

546
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. He does have an ankle sprain. I don't

547
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: know if that's gonna limit his carries and his touches,

548
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: which could potentially make Boston Scott a very interesting play

549
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: in daily fantasy this week. Now, zach Ertz still hasn't

550
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: been cleared for contact. That could make Dallas Goddard a

551
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: nice play. Although last week got Her was okay, was great?

552
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: He was I I was expecting more, especially especially with

553
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Urts out, But the Eagles are going to look to God,

554
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: especially with all the injuries they have, and the Seahawks

555
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: gave up the second most fantasy points tight ends are

556
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Greg Ward is also interesting here,

557
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Marcus because he's now like the de facto number one

558
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Philadelphia. I mean, and you could beat

559
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks through the year and word, I believe he

560
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: said around forty targets in his last five or six games,

561
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: So I mean he's getting opportunities. Yeah, And I don't

562
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare him necessarily to Deebo Samuel,

563
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: but but Deebo sort of found his way through that

564
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: secondary when the Niners played the Seahawks at the end

565
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: of the season, and I think it's similarly. Greg Ward

566
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: can can maybe do something akin to that. I don't

567
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: know that he could quite as productive. Also, by the way,

568
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Mike k beat Right for the Eagles says that Zach

569
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: Lerts is at practice, Miles Sanders out of practice as well.

570
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: So just a couple of updates from the Eagles. They're good.

571
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll get Urts, and if Urts is active,

572
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he's not the better play and maybe

573
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: it's still Dallas Gotter because Urch is severely banged up.

574
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Um, but that's gonna be

575
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: an interesting game. And um, you know, the Eagles again

576
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: a defense that played much better at home than down

577
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: the road, and they're facing the Seahawks team that comes

578
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: in sort of stumbling, you know. Uh, this is a

579
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: team that I think a lot of people had high

580
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: hopes for, especially with the run that they had made,

581
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: uh the game against the forty Niners and then now

582
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: you've got you know, all these injuries and then last

583
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: week with the game against San Francisco, where they where

584
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: they were taken down. So that's your look at wild

585
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: Card weekends. Now we're going to get in the Playoff

586
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Challenge lineup and so you know, Eddie, I don't know

587
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: if you have your Playoff Challenge lineup, but feel free

588
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: to jump in here. Playoff Challenge again, is all about

589
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a PPR scoring system. You can check it

590
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: out online and you can win a trip to the

591
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl next next year. Um. You you want to

592
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: start players who are productive, obviously, but there's a caveat,

593
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook is always going to be active in

594
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: traditional fantasy leagues. But if you don't believe Dalvin Cook

595
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: is going to make it out of the first round

596
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: because he plays for the Vikings, who are heavy underdog

597
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: to the Saints this week, well then Dalvin Cook's not

598
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna play for you. So you want to do a

599
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a mix and let me just give

600
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: you a few sort of yeah, a few little uh

601
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: stats here, a little nuggets that could help you. The

602
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: Patriots won the Super Bowl lat year a number two seed.

603
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: Prior to that, a number one seed won the Super

604
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: Bowl in every year since two thousand and thirteen. What

605
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: does that mean one or two seats pretty much make

606
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: it Ravens right at the Ravens, looking at niners because

607
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: typically they're going to get there. And you can play

608
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: players on teams that have a by this week and

609
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: get the multiplayer. So like, if you play Lamar Jackson

610
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: this week, obviously you're not getting points from him, but

611
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: next week you'll get double. If he scores forty, next

612
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: week you get eighty, exactly. Um Also, the top seed

613
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: in the a f C has won three of the

614
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: last six championships, while the number one seeding the NFC

615
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: has won twice. For the last six Super Bowl games

616
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: have fee cured each conference's top seed. Marcus loves that stead.

617
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Prior to last season, when the Patriots and the Rams

618
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: both made it the Super Bowl as two seeds, the

619
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: previous five Super Bowls had seen a single non number

620
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: one seed. That was the two thousand and sixteen Atlanta Falcons,

621
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: who were a two seed. Uh The last wild card

622
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: team to reach Super Bowl was the twelve Ravens. They

623
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: made it as a four seeds. So you may not

624
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: really want to go with a team that's playing in

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: the wild card weekend as a long term option because

626
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: the trend has been that these teams have not been

627
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: able to get to the promised Land. Uh. Five of

628
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: the last four teams to play in the Conference Championship

629
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: round also played in the wild card round. UH. So

630
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: there has been there has been a trend of wild

631
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: card teams getting to the NFC and an f C

632
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Championship geames just not necessarily getting over to the Super Bowl. Uh.

633
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: Not a single number six seed has made it to

634
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: the conference ryn in the last six seasons. Just one

635
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: number five seed, which was Marcus, has played in the

636
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: conference championship round during that time, and just two number

637
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: four seeds have reached the finals of their respective conferences.

638
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: That was the Patriots and Colts. So although you know,

639
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: you could say, well it's low hanging fruit, you're probably

640
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna be playing a lot of the teams, a lot

641
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: of players on the teams that aren't playing this week

642
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: in playoff challenge. So I'll start with you, Marcus, give

643
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: me your playoff challenge line up? All right, Well, my quarterback,

644
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: no surprise, Lamar Jackson. My running backs, I went Alvin Kamara,

645
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: who look, I know most of the season he was frustrating,

646
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: but the back part of the season that he touchdown.

647
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Positive regression seemed to come and so I think, I think,

648
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I think the Saints can make a pretty long run

649
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: in this thing, and I think camera kind of gets

650
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: back in the centerpiece of this whole bill mark Ingram

651
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: is my other running back for when the Ravens get

652
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: back to action next week, expecting them to kind of run.

653
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: I expect the Saints or the Ravens rather to get

654
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, so I got a couple of them.

655
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is my number one wide receiver. I don't

656
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: think that's a big surprise there. I think that's gonna

657
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: be on a lot of people's lineups. My other receiver, though,

658
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: is Tyreek Hill. Um. I looked through the Niners, and

659
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean sort of like Debos, sort of like Emmanuel Sanders.

660
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: But I do think that the Chiefs can at least

661
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: get to the a f C Championship game as so

662
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: I like Tyreek Hill, so I put him as my

663
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: my wide receiver to George Kittle is my tight end. Um.

664
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: I think I think your NFC Championship game is gonna

665
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: be Niners and Saints, So I think George Kittle is

666
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: the best possible option. I just Jerry Cook's had a

667
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: nice year. He just seems to be two up and down.

668
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Kittle has a safer floor for me, and I think

669
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: as high, if not a higher ceiling than Jerry Cooks.

670
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: He's my tight end. I went back and fourth on twikers.

671
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: At first, I had Robbie Golden there a little bit,

672
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: but I switched. I switched it out to will Lets

673
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: because again I think, I think it's it's Niners and

674
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: Saints in the NFC Championship game. So to that point,

675
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I can, I can put will letson, I can get

676
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: points from him this week and potentially get the multipliers

677
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: as we go along. So that was my will. Let's

678
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: pick their defense I really kind of struggled with, but

679
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: I went with the Ravens. Um. I think they are

680
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: going to be probably the most added defense, uh in

681
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: the playoff challenge there, so I put them in. I

682
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: think they can they can force and turnovers. The fact

683
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: that they have home field and manage all throughout the

684
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: playoffs I think makes them a really interesting place. So that's, uh,

685
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: there you go. It's my defense. Eddie Marcus just named

686
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: off my entire lineup. I submitted it earlier. I was

687
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: doing this as we were talking about the exact same

688
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: lineup that one player was different. I wonder what the

689
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: odds are of that. Forget about the percentage of like

690
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: what players should start. What are the odds of two

691
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: people in the same room right now, without even knowing,

692
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: without looking at each other, having the same lineup quarterback,

693
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: with two running backs, to receivers, tight end, kicker, defense,

694
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: something else. When once once she said Tyreek Hill, I

695
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, this might go all the way.

696
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: This might go all the way, because I knew you

697
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: were going kid, because you're a Niners fan that kills.

698
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's the man. And well, Lets is the

699
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean ticker might be the wild card. They're like,

700
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Lets, it is always great, you know, play

701
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna play at least one game in the dome.

702
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, you know, in the next round.

703
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, so me and Marcus are in agreement, Eddie,

704
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I fully this is my first

705
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: time playing, so much of I fully grasp it. Um.

706
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: I did go with lamar at At at quarterback. Um,

707
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't like, I feel like I want to embarrass

708
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: myself with my my picks. I picked James wife for

709
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: this week. Uh. And then but you say it's okay

710
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: to start Aaron Jones like and or do you get

711
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: you get so you can start him? Yes, so next

712
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: week Aaron Jones will get double the amount of points

713
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: uh that he scores. But keep it so you also

714
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: again there there has to be You've got to have

715
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: confidence that the Packers are gonna win at least a

716
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: game or two and if they win two games to

717
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. Right, So if you think

718
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to the super Bowl, then Aaron

719
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: Jones go play. If you think they're gonna lose at

720
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: home in round one, it ain't a great play, Okay,

721
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: then I may need to works up. Well, I have

722
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas receiver. I want to lock that in. I

723
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: liked Kelsey at tight end, but now I have another

724
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: playing it's not playing this week. Let me but again,

725
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: but again, it doesn't matter that he's not playing this week.

726
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: I got one to three four, I got five players

727
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: on five. Yeah, so I you know, this week I

728
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: will probably have a pretty low point total. But in theory,

729
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: next week is when when I write, that's when that's

730
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: when you're hoping you get the and and this and

731
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: this year too. You know, because you've got the elite teams.

732
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: What do we know the Niners are gonna be, you know, tough.

733
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: We know the Saints are gonna be tough. We know

734
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens are in the Chiefs, the Patriots are weaker. Um,

735
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: nobody believes in the Packers outside of Wisconsin, you know,

736
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I and listen Packer fans. I mean, I'm not I'm

737
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: not getting on you. Guys barely beat the Lions in

738
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: the third steing quarterback in the game you needed to win.

739
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: Ultimately you did. But and I mean, I just remember

740
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: that game they played against the Niners. Did they play?

741
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: They got crushed, They got crushed. I just feel like

742
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: La Floor did a good job. They're gonna get a

743
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: home game. I don't know who they're gonna play. Maybe

744
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: they win that game. Ultimately, I don't feel the Packers

745
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: are are a super Bowl contender. So um, let's go

746
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: with uh, let's go with I still can't believe Marcus

747
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: and I picked the exact Let's go with a couple

748
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: of like contrarian picks. So like, if the team that

749
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: Markus and I picked here is sort of going to

750
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: be almost like a default kind of thing. I think

751
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: a couple of directions you can go if you like

752
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: the Saints, you can go with Breeze because he's playing

753
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: this week and Boom, you can potentially get a quadruple

754
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: multiplier when the Saints if they had gotten to the

755
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Um at running back marketing or might feel

756
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: like does come with a little bit of a risk

757
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: because you know he's a little bit banged up, but

758
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: he's also on a team that we think could go

759
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: all the way where he Mostard is also interesting. I

760
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: looking about Rhee Mosters, I was thinking of Mostard Hollywood.

761
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: Brown just doesn't produce enough on a regular basis for

762
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: me to use him, but he also could potentially end

763
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: up nailing that big time quadruple qualifier. Say that five

764
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: times fast and multiplayer. Excuse me, and but I he's

765
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: so touched on a penny has really done anything. The

766
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: tight end position is tough, though, because like there's there's

767
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: any any number anyone of four elite tight ends. Maybe

768
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 1: Jared Cook's not at leap, but he was damn good

769
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: that that could really work out here, right, Kelsey, If

770
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: you think the Chiefs can go to the Ceper Bowl,

771
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, who's playing this week if you think the

772
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: Saints go to the Super Bowl Kittle, same thing with

773
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: the Niners. Uh And and I mean Zach Ertz we

774
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: also have him as well. We're not sure what's going

775
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: on with that, right, But Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews is

776
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: not playing this week. Mark Andrews one of the best

777
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: tit ends of fantasy football. If you think the Ravens

778
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: have a better shot to get to the Super Bowl

779
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: than either the Niners or certainly the Eagles, the Niners,

780
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: the Saints, or the Chiefs, then he's your guy. So

781
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: I mean, if you really want to be contrarian here too,

782
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: because and you mentioned Aaron Jones, right, So obviously the

783
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: Packers are off this week next week. Look, I know

784
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: they haven't looked great, but they're at home there in

785
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Lambeau in January. It's not easy to go there. It's

786
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: going to be cold, it's going to be snowing. We

787
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: talked about in the past, Drew Brees on the road

788
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: outside of the Dome. I mean, these Saints, most likely

789
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: if they win, that's where they're going is the Green

790
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: Bay next week. So I could see a path for

791
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe an Aaron Jones maybe at the Vante Adams to

792
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: be in somebody's playoff challenge line up because they can. Look,

793
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible for the Packers to win

794
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. Then they go to San Francisco, where

795
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: I know they did not play well the last time around,

796
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: but one game situation like who knows what's going to happen.

797
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, we we have neither of

798
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: us have Packers in our lineup, but I do think

799
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of Packers and a lot

800
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: of playoff challenge lineups. All right, uh, Eddie, why don't

801
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: we play a little Matt money Smith here? It's time

802
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: for bold predictions. Are you ready? It's fantasy Bold prediction

803
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: time money those dulcet tones. All right, Marcus, I'm gonna

804
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: start off with you give me your bold prediction for

805
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: a wild card weekend. My bold prediction for a wild

806
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: card weekend, Um, it's gonna be that. Look, I think

807
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has a nice day. I think he's gonna

808
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: be the lead running back for up for the Saints.

809
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: But my gold predictions that Lottavius Murray is gonna drop

810
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: a twenty spot somewhere along the way. Maybe maybe not

811
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: a ton of yards, but you know he'll be the

812
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: guy who like maybe plunges into the end zone once

813
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: or twice. Uh. Like I said, I think the Saints

814
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: scored a lot of points against the Vikings. Alright, Eddie,

815
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: what do you got? Uh? Marcus kind of hit it before.

816
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: And you guys are making the jokes about the storm

817
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: in the in Foxborough, the what is it called Henry?

818
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: And I was and it's funny you brought that up

819
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: because I was yesterday on on d DP. I was

820
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: talking about the game picks. I just happened to look

821
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: at the weather. I had no idea that's happening. Um,

822
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: and see like the temperature has risen. It was like

823
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna be like thirty six and like ninety four chance

824
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: of rain. But basically what I'm getting it is, I

825
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: think for those people who are playing maybe Tom Brady

826
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: or using him in a fantasy playoff challenge lineup, I

827
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have his all time worst playoff game

828
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: verse Titans. That being said, I still have a feeling

829
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: that the Patriots will win at home, but it'll be

830
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: every reason but Tom Brady. I think it's going to

831
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: be a really really like a big struggle for him. Uh,

832
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: you know, multiple interceptions, wouldn't be shocked. There's a lost

833
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: fumble because of the precipitation, just a really really bad

834
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: showing by him. But the defense and ground game will

835
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: get it done, all right. My bold prediction centers around

836
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: that game too. Who's the coach in Tennessee, Mike Yeah,

837
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: former Patriot exactly. I think the Titans are going in

838
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: there and they're gonna boat race the Patriots. That offense

839
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: is playing at a sick level right now, Like they

840
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: had the Saints down on their knees to begin that

841
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: game a couple of weeks ago. Ultimately the Saints came

842
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: back and won the game. I I see and listen to.

843
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: Patriots have the best, the most successful dynasty in the

844
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: history of sports, right, I mean, like at least at

845
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: least in our time. I mean, I don't go back

846
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: to the Yankees, you know what I mean, Like, I mean,

847
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't around, you know, like so, but at least

848
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: now and then in the NFL, I mean clearly, but

849
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: you could see it coming to an end. I remember

850
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: watching Peyton Manning, uh you know, in his final year,

851
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: you can start seeing the wheels are coming off right.

852
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: And the Patriots started off out the gates gangbusters and

853
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: they were great. They're playing a lot of crappy teams, though,

854
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: a lot of crappy teams. Now at the end of

855
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: the season, they're losing the crappy teams. They got beat

856
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 1: by the Dolphins. Okay, Houston beat them, and I don't

857
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: really think Houston is that great of a team. They're

858
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: a playoff team, but I don't think they're a true contender.

859
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee's playing with a lot of confidence at a high

860
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: level with a quarterback who is has never played better

861
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and I feel like they're

862
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna go into Foxborough and they're gonna put the Patriots

863
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: to bed, and that's gonna be the end of the dynasty.

864
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: They're done, okay, And it's a great time for those

865
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: of us who don't like Boston because the Red Sox

866
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: are gonna suck this season too. Hey, Mark Brady is

867
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: in here as a Red Sox fan. Yeah, sorry, Mark, Um.

868
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: Things are gonna start looking down in Beantown. Patriots are

869
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: going down this weekend. Tannehill is gonna have more Fantasy

870
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: points in Brady Derrick Henry is gonna be the proverbial

871
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: snow truck that plows his way through that defense and

872
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: runs for a hundred and fifty and one touchdown. Wow.

873
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: And I think A. J. Brown is going to make

874
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: Stefine Gilmore well not look like an all Pro cornerback

875
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: this weekend. It would be interesting. So if I mean,

876
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: if this does happen, right, um, that means that the

877
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: Patriots will in the season with five losses, including a

878
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 1: playoff loss. Um, they will have lost. They will lost

879
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien, Brian Flores, and potentially Mike Rabeled. That

880
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: would be three losses against former Patriots assistant because part

881
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: of the thing about Bill Belichick is that in the

882
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: past he's been really good against his former assistance. Yep uh.

883
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Bill Belichick has lost a step.

884
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: I think some of this is personnel and just you know,

885
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: Father time comes for us all. But it would be interesting,

886
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: especially if they lose back to games and have their

887
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: season ind at the hands of two former assistants. It

888
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: would be fitting, wouldn't it. And it would be a

889
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: huge storyline. And I think that's the way they're gonna

890
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: go out. And there's nothing against the Patriots. They have

891
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: been a great team for a long long time. But

892
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: sustainability at that level is difficult and and and they

893
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: have sustained it for a long time. Man. I mean,

894
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady forty two years old, this guy's gonna go

895
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: down to history, is the greatest quarterback in the history

896
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. But it's all got a

897
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: common win at some point. I feel like it's coming

898
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: to win this week. The Patriots are going down. The

899
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna advance. I think the Titans are a

900
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: confident team right now. They're a good team. Uh. And

901
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is not playing at a high level. And

902
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, listen. They lost. They lost to an

903
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: inferior your team last week, okay on their home field.

904
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: And before that game the week before, what did Belichick say?

905
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: This is the playoffs? This Dolphins game is a playoff game.

906
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: And they didn't win. They did not show up and

907
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: they did not play well. So that's what we got, man.

908
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: So make sure you're tuning in. I'm sure everyone will.

909
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Two games on Saturday, starting at four five Eastern with

910
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: Bills and Texans. Uh. Sunday Vikings Saints one oh five pm.

911
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: And that Titans Patriots game is the Saturday night game.

912
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,120
