I'm gonna give you my diamonds 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.200 and fool gazees for some of the spotlight games that 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.480 I find most interesting. In week number thirteen, we're gonna 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.680 talk line ends and Ravens. We're gonna talk about a 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.120 big game in the NFC Vikings and Falcons. We're gonna 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.840 talk about a battle in the a f C South 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.960 with the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans. Will talk 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.560 more NFC South with the Panthers and the New Orleans Saints. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.440 And we will also talk about Thursday Night Football, which 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.480 kicks off literally week thirteen of the NFL season. We 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.400 talk about the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington football team. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.480 You know, Zike Elliott still suspended. Dez Brian facing a 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.720 legitimately good cornerback. You know what that means. He disappears 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.440 in his full gay z he forget about it. We'll 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.880 talk about some more. We also got a poll question 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.480 up about Thursday night football. You know, how do you 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.480 parlay it? Right now? Washington are road favorites going into 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.440 Dallas and giving up two points. It's under a field goal. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.320 So I still think you could lay the point and 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.400 go with the Washington football team because the Dallas Cowboys 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.400 have showed you that without Zeke Elliott with a um 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.480 less than Offen silve line than what it's been in 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.200 years past, and Dac is turning the ball over and 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.080 I really like some guys. I'll tell you who my 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.320 diamonds in the rough in that game is a little 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.239 bit later on, and we will also take your questions. 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.079 Like I said, the number of call is eight four 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.359 or four eight four, three, six seven nine.

People got some 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.360 winner it in kind of stuff right now, and it's amazing. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.680 All of a sudden, you start looking at the point totals. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.800 You're like, ah, I'm I'm I'm seven and five. I 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.880 need to win and I need to beat this dude 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.520 by thirty seven points and I can hop him or 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.520 like maybe you're you know, maybe you're nine and three right, 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.000 and you're like, you know, if I win, I just 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:20.960 need I just need this guy to not win and 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.200 then I can keep my first round. By this is 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.240 big times right now what people are actually started to 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.960 talk about and think about actually winning their leagues and 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.680 winning that cash. So for the next couple of weeks, 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.040 I gotta be on point and giving you the information 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.000 you need. So check this out. I know We've talked 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.080 about this guy a lot. People want to press my 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.400 buttons about this guy. Uh. Hugh Jackson says that Josh 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.479 Gordon is gonna start this week for the Los Angeles Chargers. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.800 He's I mean, excuse me for the Cleveland Browns against 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.440 the Los Angeles Chargers this week. Um, He's gonna start, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.000 but I'm still not riding with him. Okay, listen, I 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.960 actually think this actually hurts him and helps Corey Coleman. Okay, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.120 I think that Casey Hayward is actually gonna wind up 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.039 then having to defend Josh Gordon for the limited amount 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.080 of snaps that he'll be out there, and I think 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.719 that means it pushes Corey Coleman down to the number 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.680 two cornerback, which is not Verette anymore, because you know, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.120 he's been gone, long gone with a season ending injury. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.480 I actually think that Gordon is only gonna be out 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.679 there for maybe half of the snaps I've been saying 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.159 for weeks or months even to not be on Josh Gordon. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.400 He has not played in a regular season game since 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.440 Week fourteen of two thousand and like fourteen, Okay, someone 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.279 on Twitter hit me up or one of the trolls 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.599 out there was like, what is this guy talking about? 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.960 He played in the preseason in two thousand and sixteen. Yes, 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.240 I know, go rewind the tape. I said, he's not 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.560 played in a regular season game since two thousand and fourteen. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.440 I do not believe in Deshaun Kaiser throwing him the rock. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.960 I think, if anything, that provides a little bit of 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.520 cover for Corey Coleman to do a little bit. You 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.800 know what, Josh Gordon, I'm gonna put my money where 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.720 my mouth is. Four catches fifty seven yards. All right, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.760 we'll talk about it Monday. Uh. In Tennessee, Mike Mullarkey 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.680 has said, quote unquote, we have two starters at running back. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.400 This is kind of a shot called by your boy 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.040 species and spitting statistician. I told you to Derrick Henry 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.440 was ascending every week. I'm telling you that Derrick Henry 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.480 is the guy. And now even Malarkey is admitting we 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.480 have two starters. You know what that means. That means 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.840 the door is open for Derrick Henry to start ascending, 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.640 and to Marco Murray with his injuries and his you 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.440 know whatever. I don't know. I I think that's a 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.400 real committee. Moving on, speaking of which he are the 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.120 people that uh did not practice today, and we start 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.320 with Marco Murray. They say it's just an illness. But listen, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.560 I think they're providing cover for him. Like I said, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.360 Derrick Henry is my guy in Exotic smash Mouth. Richard Matthews, 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.560 also in Tennessee, did not practice. Here's the question, though, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.640 do you go back to the Corey Davis Well, I 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.200 don't know. I think he's burned me too many times. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.200 I think he is the wide receiver version of Joe 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.080 Mixon this year. You love the skill, you love the talent, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.480 you think there's opportunity, But does he deliver or not? 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.320 Is the question I'm still waiting to see on Corey Davis, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.720 even with Richard Matthews potentially out. He did not practice today. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.240 Chris Hogan still not practicing. You need to you could 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.120 at this point in the season. I think you could 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.720 go ahead and if not bench him yet and you 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.760 may be able to drop him. Okay, this has been 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.760 an injury that has lingered for a long time. He's 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.760 now getting to the point that when he does come back, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.520 you don't trust him the first week out because he's 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.040 mitched so much time, and obviously in New England there's 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.000 a lot of mouths to feed there. Adrian Peterson did 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.120 not practice yet again in Arizona, putting his availability in 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.960 doubt for Week thirteen. DJ Foster would be the next 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.560 man up there if you were desperate. Doug Martin still 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.960 in the concussion protocol, not good for his week thirteen availability. 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.599 My man pop Quiz Jock quiz. Rogers might be the 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.920 lead dog for the Bucks up in Lambeau this Sunday. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.760 Kelvin Benjamin did not practice because of that knee injury. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.920 That's a bad sign, Okay, that's trending in the wrong direction. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.920 You want to see him get on the field at 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.559 some point this week. If you think he's gonna go 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.320 out there, maybe Zay Jones becomes the number one wide 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.160 receiver out there. I think Charles Clay would actually lead 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.040 the team in targets, catches, and yards. Greg Olsen did 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.720 not practice again as well. Remember maybe he had a setback. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.240 He reaggravated that foot injury. Ron Rivera, though says he 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.320 could play even if he doesn't practice all week. You know, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.440 the kid is a veteran. He's not a kid. He 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.680 is a veteran, and maybe he's good enough to you know, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.000 miss all the week and still go Week thirteen. Amera 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.959 Doula also not practicing yet this week because of a 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.440 neck injury. He is dealing with limited practice. This is 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.160 a very interesting one. Aaron Jones back on the practice 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.040 field today for the Green Bay Packers. And I say 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.040 this because if Aaron Jones dresses and his active, Jamal 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.360 Williams is no longer to taste the option that we've 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.520 been talking about for the last couple of weeks. Okay, 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.760 Jamal Williams part of his value because he had that 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.720 backfield to himself. If Aaron Jones comes back, that is 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.959 not the case. Lamar Miller also got back on the 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.040 practice field. He was probably just rested yesterday because remember 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.880 Houston was playing on Monday Night football, so maybe they 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.160 gave him a day to manage his reps. Back on 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.280 the field today, This is good news. Christian McCaffrey back 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.760 on the field. He'll play. He's a PPR beast. Matt 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.000 Forte back on the practice field. I don't like this 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.800 because it muddles the running back situation for the Jets. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.959 If there's no Forte, I like blah, pal with Forte 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.440 and Powell and even Elijah McGuire. I don't like three 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.600 headed committees. That causes me concerned. Sterling Shepherd is back 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.040 practicing again for the Giants. You remember he was dealing 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.520 with those migraines. You know he's gonna play. And whether 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.240 it's Geno Smith there or not, you know what I 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.199 actually think. I actually think this is good news for 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.400 Evan Ingram. I think Evan Ingram needs a little bit 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.760 of help, you know, with the defense focusing on other people. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.480 And then I actually think Evan Ingram against Oakland, who 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.880 is notoriously bad against the tight end, I think that 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.280 actually boosts the stock of Evan Ingram. DeVante Freeman, who 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.720 I told you had cleared the concussion protocol yesterday, he 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.640 they say now, quote unquote, he will not be limited 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.959 against these Minnesota vikings. And if it's regular old to 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.120 Vante Freeman, I mean he was an RB one right. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.240 He was struggling a little bit before these concussions. But 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.560 if he had some time to get back into it, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.000 I can see Vonta Freeman being right back in the 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.920 RB one conversation. I know Coleman was decent in his 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.560 stay as the lead back. But I think they go 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.960 right back to their roles, and I think that means 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.640 RB one. Uh excuse me. I think that means Freeman 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.880 is a back end RB one, high end r B two, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.400 And I think Coleman goes back into the into the 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:29.079 flex conversation. Alex Collins is back practicing that remember you 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.200 had a calf injury. I think that was just managing 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.000 his reps as well. He should be good to go. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.319 Shady McCoy, though, popped up on the injury report today 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.560 with a knee. That's not good. Remember anytime someone comes 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.520 onto the injury report on a Thursday, that means maybe 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.080 something was tweaked in practice. The good news is though 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.360 he was listed as a full participant, so maybe it's 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.240 not that bad. But keep an eye on Shady in 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.320 tomorrow's report. And also back practicing. This is a big one. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.880 Also to um Juju Smith Schuster backpracticing full with that hamstring. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.040 So he goes back, in my opinion, right back above 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.080 Martavis Bryant to be the second wide receiver for Pittsburgh, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.000 and I think that means you could fade Mark Tavis Briant. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.400 All right, let's talk a little bit about Thursday night football. Tonight, 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.120 let's talk a little bit about Thursday night football. We 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.280 got the Washington team going in there to take on 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.080 the Cowboys. The Cowboys are home underdogs. You know how 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.000 much I love the home underdogs, but I don't love 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.080 what Dallas has been doing lately. Um, I think they 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.800 are deserving underdog and I would not be on them 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.920 because as long as this, as long as this spread 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.520 states below a field goal, give me Washington. I think 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.360 Washington has figured out that they still can score. I 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.840 think some j p Ryan could be a viable back 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.439 for them, and he could get the ball twenty times, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.040 and I think that he really actually helps Kirk Cousins. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.480 Kirk Cousins in real life. In fantasy, Kirk Cousins used 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.160 to be this volume thrower, and we like that in fantasy. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:51.520 That's why he was match up proof because he was 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.880 gonna be throwing, throwing, throwing, because you know, Rock Kelly 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.120 couldn't run the ball, Chris Thompson couldn't run the ball. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.680 But if p Ryan can run the ball, that makes 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.800 him less of a volume rower. And I think you 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.040 may need to downgrade some of the wide receivers. The 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.920 one ride receiver that I do like and I love 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.400 it for Washington is Jamison Crowder. I think Jamison Crowder 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.440 in PPR formats is actually gonna be down the stretch, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.760 a high end wide out three, maybe even a back 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.040 end wide out too. He might be in that two 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.840 kind of conversation in the rankings because I think, listen, 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.880 he is the guy tried and true in there that 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.760 Kirk Cousins knows about. He would actually be my diamond 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.440 and the rough in this game. He is the new 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.959 go to guy for Kirk Cousins. I think he now 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.679 leads the posse with some j P Ryan, Josh Dotson, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.480 and Vernon Davis. I've said this before. I like Jamison 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.720 crowd or Chris Pavona. He is my diamond in the rough. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.360 There it is. And Yo, when I give you my diamonds, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:54.960 I gotta give you my fool gazes. First of all, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.719 I'm gonna tell you that in this game on the 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.920 Dallas side, I actually think I like Rod Smith better 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.960 then Alfred Morris. I think, especially in PPR formats. Okay, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.600 rod Smith I think is gonna be the checkdown guy. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.960 I think he's gonna get some catches tonight and I 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.080 like him PPR scoring. I like Rod Smith over Alfred Morris. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:16.600 But my fool Gazzy for this game Dez Bryant. I've 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.360 been saying it all season long. When Death matches up 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.960 against average to below average cornerbacks, He's able to do 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.120 work out, physical them out, you know, and and really 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.920 have good production. When he plays good cornerbacks, he vanishes. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.440 Gener's Jenkins took care of him, Xavier Rhodes took care 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.040 of him. You know, We've seen some other teams actually 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.120 eliminate Deaz. Patrick Peterson did as well, and I think 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.520 Josh Norman is gonna do that today. They got a 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.200 commercial back and forth where they talk smack to each other. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.240 So I think Josh Norman is gonna be all over 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.880 Des and I think he does effectively take him away. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.720 So Dez Bryant is my fantasy fool Gazzy forgot about 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.440 it for Thursday Night football. I like Washington and win 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.000 this game something seventeen continue. They're very, very slim hopes 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:07.600 and completely ineffectively do away with the Dallas Cowboys tonight. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.120 When we come back. I'm gonna look at some other 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.160 spotlight games in Week thirteen. I'm gonna give you my 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.480 diamonds and full gazees and you could also holler at me. 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.240 Next segment, phone lines are open, Stats over beats. Let's 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:24.440 go Fantasy Freestyle Hunter Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.200 three NFL softwares are not due to slump. They're due 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.120 to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.120 in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.920 listen live and dell o the app f a t 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.640 s Y radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.240 the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports 0:15:47.440 --> 0:16:01.880 Radio Network. The champ is here, the timp is here. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.160 You know what it is. It's a fantasy freestyle. We're 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.760 getting it down on a Thursday, and I'm excited for 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.840 a couple of reasons. One Week thirteen kicks off in 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.920 about an hour when Dallas Cowboys are at home to 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.520 take on the Washington football team. I told you in 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.640 my preview I think this trends for the Washington football team. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.600 The point spread is only one or two. If it 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.840 stays below a field goal, give me Washington as a 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.600 road favorite. I also think this game could be under 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.960 the forty seven total um I can see this being 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.440 like a twenty four to twenty seven to like a 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.680 ten to thirteen kind of game. Even if it's twenty 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.800 seven to thirteen, that's only forty I think. You know, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.600 Dallas has not impressed me. Um without Zeke Elliott, Doc 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.600 has been turning the ball over Dez Bryant, I think 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.880 can be effectively covered by Josh Norman. And so I 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.960 I like Washington tonight, and forty seven percent of you 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.680 agree with me with Washington and the under under. The 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.040 twenty six percent say Washington and the over. That combines, 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.280 I'm gonna do some quick math that combines. For seventy 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.000 of you, three quarters of you like the Washington football 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.639 team tonight. So I can understand if people want to 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.960 fade the public and go the other way with Dallas. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.520 But I really think that Washington still is fighting for 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.960 some things and Dallas is unraveling. They you know, continue 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.439 to defecate the mattress without Zeke Elliott the other game. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.440 I want to talk to you about real quick before 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.240 we get into the calls, and I see you guys 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.239 out there lightening up the phone lines. My man Chris 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.960 Bavona taking good care of everybody. Will open up the 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.560 phone lines to the stats overbeat cipher in a second. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.680 But I do want to talk about this Vikings Falcons 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.920 game because I think this is very interesting. I think 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.960 this is a very interesting game, the Vikings and the 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.919 Falcons down in Atlanta, where the Falcons are actually a 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.679 three point favorite at home. Forty seven is the total. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.520 I think this game could be a high total. I 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.080 think this game. I think there could be a lot 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.840 of points scored in this game. I think there could 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.920 be a lot of production in this game. Here a 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:56.239 couple of points. I want to make you know how 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:01.560 Minnesota has been killing it lately, absolutely killing it lately. Okay, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.960 and you know I respect that, right Adam Feeling is 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.040 now like wide receiver. Oh like three I think. But 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:12.480 here's the thing. The um the Vikings are incredible at home. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.280 You know, this defense has been incredible at home. They 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.080 beat the Saints at home, they beat you know, Tampa 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.040 at home. They're only lost this season at home is Detroit. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.600 They are a different team. On the road, they're a 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.960 great team. There's still nine and two overall something like that. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.280 But here's the thing. Their defense has not been as 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.320 good on the road. They're giving up a good five 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.000 more points a game, at least on the road. And 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.639 these Atlanta Falcons don't look now, but they're starting a 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.760 round into form. They are starting to get familiarized with 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.960 what Steve Sarkiesian is trying to do with this team. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.800 You see Julio Jones absolutely go off. They're getting Davonte 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.240 Freeman back as well. I think this Everyone loves the Vikings, 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.280 think that they're, you know, prime to maybe be that 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.439 team that can handle Philadelphia in the NFC. I'm not 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.600 so sure, are I think that because they're on the 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.640 road in this game, it could be very very interesting. Ultimately, 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.000 I think this is a field goal kind of game. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.239 I think this could be a last team with the 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.439 ball kind of game. I think this could be a 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.480 field goal game. So I would take the Vikings with 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.560 the points, but I think the Minnis, uh, I think 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.000 Atlanta could win this game. I think Atlanta could win 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.480 a you know, thirty to twenty eight kind of game, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.920 a twenty seven twenty six kind of game, a twenty 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.920 six twenty four kind of game, a thirty one twenty 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.800 eight kind of game. So I would take the Vikings 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.639 with the points, but I think Atlanta is gonna be 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.960 far more competitive, and I think this game goes over 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.520 the forty seven total. For this game, my diamond in 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.360 the rough, though, I'm gonna go away from Julio. I'm 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.240 even gonna go away from my man Mohammed. HiT's a 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.320 new day. I'm gonna go with either Tyler Gabriel or 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:55.800 Austin Hooper. And here's why I respect this Minnesota Vikings secondary. 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.560 I love Xavier Bumpy roads roads closed. I think Terrence 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.520 Newman continues to do it. I think they can. You're 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.959 not gonna shut down Julio. You're not gonna, you know, 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.920 like Snoo's not gonna have a bagel. But I would 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.320 tamper expectations. And so I think Matt Ryan will look 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.399 elsewhere where. He has matchups that could be UH Tyler 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.479 Gabriel at the third wide out, that could be Austin 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.320 Hooper as the tight end matched up against the UH 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.160 the linebackers there. So my diamond is either Tyler Gabriel 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.440 or Austin Hooper. My fool gaze, and if you listen 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.399 to the show, I've been saying this for a long time. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.480 My fool gaze in this UH game is Latavis Murray. Okay, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.080
