1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of is information.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree? Five five dollars? This is a ratable

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: up top of the tackle one. You're saying that humans

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: need fantasy to make life bearable. Humans need fantasy to

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: be human?

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: My goodness, mistaken, the best, relentless, refusing to give up? Right,

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: hit that horn by? What is up? Everybody?

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,599

29
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: pretty good week in Week eighteen. Bunch of hits. We're

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: shot Bateman Booty got another. I think we've hit on

31
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: him a few times on the show. Another Ray Davis.

32
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: I feel like we got the It's always the same guys.

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: It's like Raydylor, Parker Washington every week.

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson, Daniel Wilson. But yeah, these are like longer

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: shot guys, right, like value guys under the radar. We're

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: not giving out, you know, Jamar Chase at minus one fifty.

37
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: We're looking for these like value guys. And you know,

38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be doing the same thing today

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: where most of these guys are going to be five

40
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: to one. I've got somebody that's almost like a twenty

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: to one long shot. So yeah, these aren't chalky picks,

42
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: to say the least.

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: Unless there's value on the talk, then we might, oh yeah, exactly,

44
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: we might have to dabble with because there is. There

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: are a couple guys I know we each have one.

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: I've got two touchdown bet, but it's a Chalky guy,

47
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: so we'll jump right into it. We've got quick slip

48
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: wings in the episode description, So if you want to

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: tail any of these bets that we give out today,

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: just work for those quick slip links in the episode description.

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: Saturday Wild Card Weekend one of my favorite weekends in sports.

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: We started with the Chargers at the Texans. Two and

53
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: a half is a spread in favor of the Chargers

54
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: on the road. Here Texas is getting disrespected. The total

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: is forty two and a half. I do expect a

56
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: low scoring game, Sean, who do you like in this one?

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: Well, Raybon, you know, it's been a couple months since

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: I've been able to gush about Will Disley. Those are

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: better times. I was healthy back then. So why not

60
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: let's go back to the Will Disley bus here. Let's

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: go with Will Disley at plus three seventy five and

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: if you remember he went on that mini tear as

63
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: the lead tight end from weeks six through week thirteen.

64
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: I would say then, you know, he dealt with a

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: few injuries, missed some time. He's been in and out

66
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: of the lineup, but last week we actually saw him

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: finally return into that full time role. When he was

68
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: on that tear, you know, he ran route on seventy

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: one percent of Herbert's dropbacks last week. That was the

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: first time since Week twelve he cleared seventy percent. So again,

71
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: this is a good time to hop back on the

72
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: Will Disley bus. Josh Palmer still isn't practicing, I think,

73
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: and now Quintin Johnson is you know, missing some practice time.

74
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: So this is a game where Disley, you know, could

75
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: be the number two target, the clear number two target

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: in a game where the Chargers might have to throw

77
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: a bit more. And well, the Texans have been good

78
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: against tight ends. This isn't a game where I'm expecting,

79
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, a ton of receptions a ton of yards

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: for Will Disley. They have been kind of pron to

81
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: tight ends in the red zone. They've allowed eight touchdowns

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: against the position on the season, which is the fifth most.

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm projecting Disley again back in that

84
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: full time role now closer to plus three twenty to

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: score touchdown. And that's with Josh Palmer in the lineup,

86
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: which I don't even know if he's going to play

87
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: this week, and quint Johnson at full strength. So I

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: think we have some room to go, you know, even

89
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: lower on his odds here if Palmer is ruled out

90
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: and or Quintin Johnson is you know, limited or even

91
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: ruled out. So I kind of like the value we're

92
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: getting here on Disley at plus three seventy five. Then

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: for the Texan side, as you alluded to, I got

94
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: a chalky guy here with Joe Mixon, but I'm going

95
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: with two or more touchdowns at plus five hundred. You know,

96
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Joe has been pretty quiet down the stretch. He was

97
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: actually held scoreless over the final four games of the

98
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: season following their Week fourteen by so I think this

99
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: is a good time to buy low. And when it

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: comes to goal line usage, Mixon was actually one of

101
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the most dominant in terms of just percentage of team

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: rush attempts inside the five yard line. He saw eighty

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: eight percent of the Texans goal line at hemps this season.

104
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Only Derrick Henry had a hier rate at ninety percent,

105
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: and the only other running back on the Texans who

106
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: even saw a goal line touch is Cam Akers, who

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: plays with the Vikings now, so you know, Joe Mixon

108
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: has literally zero competition around the goal line. So that's

109
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: that's a great, you know thing when it comes to projections,

110
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: and you know, his odds is score a touchdown or

111
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: minus one twenty. I'm actually in line with that, but

112
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, I am showing some value on this. Two

113
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns at plus five hundred, I'm you know, I'm

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: projecting them closer to plus four fifty here. So again

115
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you this this should be a lower

116
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: scoring game. But if the Texans do, you know, get

117
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: into Chargers territory a few times, it'll be mixing who's getting.

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: You know, one hundred percent of the carries made even

119
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: a reception around the goal line, So I think he

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: does have some sneaky upside here for multiple touchdowns at

121
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: plus five hundred.

122
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that eighty eight percent goal line shares

123
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: pretty much in line with his overall snap rate. Maybe

124
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: that goes down slightly because Damian Pierce had a really

125
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: good game last week, but I doubt it I mean,

126
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: the Texans have just been kind of played mixing every

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: snap when it's important all year long. And I agree

128
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 2: on Disney. I think the you know, catches in yards,

129
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: maybe it would be tougher to come by. But if

130
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: you look at just the matchups in the red zone, Texans,

131
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: you got Stingley, you got you know, Lasting on the

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: other side, Like those are tough cornerbacks to score on,

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: so you're gonna kind of funnel the ball to other

134
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: receivers that aren't the wide receivers out on the perimeter.

135
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, it makes a lot of sense there. And

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: hopefully those are the only two Texan touchdowns because I'm

137
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: on the Texans in the under so I can't go.

138
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: I can't have Joe Mixon score like three touchdowns. Yeah,

139
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: let's chill it too, all right. Next game up, we

140
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: got the Pittsburgh's Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore favored

141
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: by nine and a half to total is forty three

142
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: and a half. That's come down a bit. Looks like

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Zay Flower is gonna miss at least this week and

144
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: you know, potentially more into the future. So for Baltimore,

145
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: I'm balling with Isaiah likely common player on this show

146
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: that we shout out here, but he's plus two seventy

147
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: five and I'm showing some value on this one because

148
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: he's second on baltimore thirteen red zone targets. He leads

149
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: the team with eight targets inside the ten. And remember

150
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: he hasn't even been really a full time player for

151
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: much of the year. He's been behind Andrews, but last

152
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: two weeks seventy four percent route rate and Agalar should

153
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: be back, but now you have Flowers out, so likely

154
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: I still expect him to kind of operate. Is that

155
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: de facto slot number three kind of wide receiver out there,

156
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: and especially so in scoring positions. So I do like

157
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: Baltimore to continue to put up points. You know, I

158
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: do expect this one to be a lower scoring game too,

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: but I do expect Baltimore to have success, so like him.

160
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: And then on the Steeler side, it's a little tougher.

161
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean, after they did not even clear two hundred

162
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: yards and twenty points against the god awful Bengals, hard

163
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: to have confidence in that of them. But gotta go

164
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: with Calvin Austin here. He's plus five point fifty and

165
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm showing some pretty good value there as well. I

166
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: have it inside plus five hundred in the high four

167
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: like four to seventy something. And the reason is three

168
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: of us four touchdowns this year have come from Russell Wilson.

169
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: Pickings on the field actually tends to help him. I

170
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: guess it draws coverage away. He also has a part

171
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: return score this year, and if you remember his first

172
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: and only playoff game, he actually scored a touchdown against

173
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in a thirty one seventeen defeat last season.

174
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: So Calvin Austin steps his game up when it matters most.

175
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: At least that's what my one game sample size is

176
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: telling me. So I say, likely Dalvin Austin.

177
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Play. That's nice little running back for me last week.

178
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Usually when you get a guy who was on that

179
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: didn't score, they score. So that's that's really good news for.

180
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was my main strategy. I just you know,

181
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: I had to give some actual football reasons. But yeah,

182
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: all right, Sunday, Broncos at the Bills. We both like

183
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: some guys in this one, so a lot to get

184
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: you here. Eight and a half is the spread in

185
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: favor of Buffalo at home the total is forty seven. John,

186
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: who do you like in Broncos bills?

187
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So for the Broncos, this is the long shot

188
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: I was talking about. It is gross, I will admit that,

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: but it's Nate Atkins who Nate Atkins plus sixteen hundred

190
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. He's actually the Broncos third string

191
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: tight end, and the Broncos tight ends have been just

192
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: to wasteland in terms of production this year, So why

193
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: the hell would I be giving him out? Well, Atkins

194
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: has had a knack for the occasional troll touchdown this year.

195
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: He has three of them on the season on just

196
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: fourteen receptions. So he's kind of taken over that Jody

197
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: Fortston role from the Chiefs back in the day, where

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: all he does is catch touchdowns. So I think he's

199
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: sneaky here. And you know, for what it's worth, the

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Broncos have been using all three tight ends pretty evenly,

201
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: with Atkins' role kind of being a red zone weapon.

202
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: And I went back I rewatched all three of his

203
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year, and you know, he's setting up to

204
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: block initially and then quickly goes into a route where

205
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: bo Nicks looks his way. Pretty early in the route.

206
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: One of them look like a design play, like they

207
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: literally designed the play to go to Atkins for you know,

208
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: wide open touchdown, so Nix is actually looking for him.

209
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: None of them were like busted plays where Nicks is

210
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: running around and just happens to find him. Atkins has

211
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: been very early in his progression and one of them

212
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: he made a nice spin move to find end zone.

213
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: So Atkins has had a knack it to score touchdowns

214
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: this year, and you know last season or the last

215
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: four games, I would say his routes run rate has

216
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: actually been climbing up and led to a season high

217
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: thirty six percent routes run rate last week, so you

218
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: know his usage has been trending up. Again, He's gonna

219
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: see more usage around the goal line anyway. They tend

220
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: to use more heavy personnel around the goal line, so

221
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: he's typically going to be out there, maybe blocking initially,

222
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: but again he does release and a lot of times

223
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Nicks looks his way. So I think he's a sneaky

224
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: bet at sixteen hundred here. I'm actually projecting him closer

225
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: to eleven to one, so I think we're going some

226
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: decent value here. Again, this is a nice fun long

227
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: shot where he's proven a few times this year he

228
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: can get in the end zone. And for the Bill side,

229
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: gotta go with our boy Ty Johnson. We've we've mentioned

230
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: him quite a few times here on the show, but

231
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: I like Ty Johnson at plus six fifty to score.

232
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously James Cook is the lead back here,

233
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: but Ty Johnson typically spells him on passing downs and

234
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: that's important in this matchup because the Broncos have been

235
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: pretty vulnerable to pass catching backs this year. They've allowed

236
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: the fourth most yards and the fourth most receiving touchdowns

237
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: with five to posing running backs. But I think that

238
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: there's kind of a sneaky quirk here where they might

239
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: be even more prone to a back like Ty Johnson.

240
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: They've been vulnerable to pass like passes to running backs

241
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: downfield to ten plus yards downfield, which is a bit

242
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: of a rare occurrence, but they've allowed the second most

243
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: yards allowed on those types of passes. And that's really

244
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson's specialty. He leads the league with nine targets

245
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: ten plus yards downfield. He actually has the like he has.

246
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: I think he has one hundred and fifty three yards

247
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: on the season on targets ten plus yards down field,

248
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: which is two times more than any other running back.

249
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: That's how my he dominates this type of work and

250
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: it matches up perfectly against the Broncos. So I think

251
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: he's a sneaky threat for a long catch, maybe a

252
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: long touchdown here through the air. Plus he does have

253
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: a rushing score this year as well. Sometimes they mix

254
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: him in near the goal line, which has typically been

255
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Ray Davis's role. But I think considering is the playoffs,

256
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: ty Johnson does have experience. Maybe the Bills lean on

257
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: him a little bit more here than usual over the

258
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: rookie Ray Davis. So I think there's a lot of

259
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: pass for Ty Johnson to score here. But again I

260
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: think there's a sneaky matchup where he tends to see

261
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: passes downfield and the Broncos have struggled with running backs

262
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: running downfield route. So give me Ty Johnson at plus

263
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: six fifty here to score.

264
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we saw that on display. Who it's

265
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: against Detroit right where the kind of similar defense you know,

266
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: could play some man coverage can glitz and they kind

267
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: of take advantage by getting their backs singled up. You know,

268
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: guys like that, And I think we can see that

269
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: again with Atkins. Yeah, he is their red zone tight

270
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: end because Lucas Kroll, he's he gets the most routes.

271
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: Guess how many red zone targets he has this year?

272
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Probably zero.

273
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: I had to get zero two last year, so twos

274
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: and two in his career. Two in his career. So

275
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: he's got about, like his touchdown rate is you know, expected,

276
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: is pretty much zero. So like tight ends just aren't

277
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: scoring from about more than twenty yards out unless they're

278
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: really talented. So you knock him down, you kind of

279
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: give those to Atkins, Like Atkins kind of double benefits

280
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: more than just his whatever his you know, snap ratings,

281
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: So like those. I actually got a couple more guys

282
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: in this game. I think this is a pretty interesting

283
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: game just because of how, uh, you know, the defensive

284
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: schemes for these teams. So you talked about Denver, they

285
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: like to play a lot of man coverage. So I

286
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: think one guy that's really interesting here. I can't believe

287
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm saying this is the Mary Cooper because first of all,

288
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: he was away from her team for personal reasons. Boks

289
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: aren't even floating props for him for a while. But

290
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: he's plus three seventy five. I have this inside plus

291
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: three hundred, even going against Patrick Sirtan, who expect him

292
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: to match up with the most, because I think that's

293
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: why we're getting value. I think this is the contrarian play.

294
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: The market's only expecting about two catches for Cooper. I

295
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: have him closer to three, a little under three. So

296
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: obviously the touchdown odds jump up with that. But Sir

297
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: Tan gave it one touchdown this year. It was too

298
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: exavierly get so you know, not great odds. But I

299
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: do think Cooper's being vastly underrated because even you're not

300
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: gonna see he probably doesn't see him on every play.

301
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: You're not gonna play man coverage on every play. Remember

302
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: he shut down Jerry Judy, and Jerry Judy had like

303
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty yards receiving in that same game.

304
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: So Cooper could certainly get free here. And he is

305
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: one of the Bills receivers that fares the best against

306
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: man coverage. And then for the Broncos Michael Burton plus

307
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: two thousand. This is one if you're betting first touchdowns

308
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: and last touchdowns as well, I would recommend leaning Ford

309
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: first touchdown with a guy like Burton, just because if

310
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: the Broncos are trailing late, the fullback is less likely

311
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: to be in a game. But Burton has fourteen percent

312
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: of the Broncos carriages inside the five, seven percent of

313
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: their targets inside the ten. He has six total scoring

314
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: opportunities inside the ten, and all of them have come

315
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: in the second half of the season. He has two

316
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: touchdowns over his last five games so and a third

317
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: one overturned or challenged, and he was just short so

318
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: could have had three in the last five weeks. He's

319
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: volture status is alive. And well, you don't know who's

320
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: going to get the ball down there in the red zone,

321
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: as you kind of alluded to Dan Reman. It could

322
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: be estimated, it could be all these other guys.

323
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: Anybody but Lucas Kroll, really.

324
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: Anybody but Lucas Crowle exactly. Yeah, there we go, Yeah,

325
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: and we could kind of. I mean, Jordan Humphrey used

326
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 2: to be like a staple down there, but not as

327
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: much anymore. And that's why this other guy like Promise

328
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: is the last one. Devon Velay at plus four seventy five.

329
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: This is another guy I'm showing about I'm not about

330
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: four to one because Buffalo top four zone team, and

331
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: I always bump up Veley against teams that play zone covered.

332
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: But we really hit on him on this show doing

333
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: that a couple of times. And you might even have

334
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: like a Thursday night prop or something on him too,

335
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: going against his zone heavy team or fading him. But

336
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: that's you know, man coverage. He doesn't really pop, but

337
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: for some reason, that big body up against zones got

338
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: that's where all his touchdowns are coming from. Double his

339
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: yards per route run. When he goes against zone coverage.

340
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: His target rate increases by about four percent per route.

341
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: So I love Veyley as well. This is this is,

342
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: and he's he's the better, like last touchdown better if

343
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: you're kind of leaning Burton would be first touchdown. You know,

344
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: heavy personnel is doing the game. Bay more of a

345
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: comeback script. He can score any time, but just more

346
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: of a you know, comebackscript, maybe a garbage time score

347
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: late for him. So uh yeah, Vylee, Burton, Cooper, and

348
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: then you like Atkins and Johnson, so we should have

349
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: at least one.

350
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Well police yeah, uh, Bonix doesn't target Vley in the

351
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: red zone either. Vley is just there to catch the

352
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: balls that bounce off of Michael Burton and Rank Atkins,

353
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: and I'm trout, like he doesn't get targeted, but he

354
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: still ends up, you know, catching touchdowns. That was a

355
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: miraculous touchdown grab last week, but it wasn't even targeted

356
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: to him. But yeah, I do like him again, like

357
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: you said, against zone heavy teams.

358
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,920

369
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: that's heck of a parlay right there, Green Bay, Philly.

370
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: This one's interesting because both quarterbacks on the injury report

371
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: this week. The Packers are four and a half point

372
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: underdogs in Philly. The total forty five and a half gotta

373
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: go with our guy, Dontavian Wicks. For Green Bays plus

374
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: three ten, I have them about plus two to seventy five.

375
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: No Christian Watson. That usually leads to Wix getting about

376
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: a seventy five to eighty five percent route rate for

377
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: the season. He's usually closer, you know, to forty five percent,

378
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: splitting time with Watson and maybe picking up a few

379
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: snaps here and there in you know, three or four

380
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: wide personnel, but usually he's gonna get starter snaps in

381
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: this one. And I do expect the Packers to trail

382
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: in this game, and so I do expect Wicks to

383
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: be out there. I like him more than you know

384
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: some of the other guys like Jacobs and Craft just

385
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: for pure value, thought about Heath and bo Melton, but

386
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: they're actually overvalued, I feel in the market. So the

387
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: guy I'm showing the most value on Dantavian Wicks. And

388
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: then for the Philadelphia Eagles, they're always going to be

389
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: one of the most overvalue teams in a touchdown market.

390
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: So for any time touchdown, I'm actually not showing value

391
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: on a single Philadelphia Eagle, just putting that out there.

392
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: But two plus touchdowns, I don't I don't know why.

393
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if the books are like they're calculating

394
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: these a little differently than we are. But like I'm

395
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: showing value on Saquon here for two or more scores,

396
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: he's plus three seventy five, and I make that, you know,

397
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: closer to three to one. I mean, uh, he's had

398
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: believe it's six to multi touchdown games already this season.

399
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: I know, you know, Jaywen Hurts is a big threat

400
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: to that, but you know, jaywhen Hurts coming off the

401
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: the concussion, maybe they don't want to necessarily risk the

402
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: touch push quite as much. Who knows, But either way,

403
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: with Jalen Hurts active for all oh yeah, all of

404
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: the games that that bark we except the one he

405
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: left early. That was one of his multi touchdown games,

406
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: but five others were with Jayleen Hurts uh active and starting.

407
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, Saquon Barkley two plus scores, it's chalk, But

408
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: I think it's undervalued. I think it should be closer

409
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: to three to one.

410
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you said Bo Melton's over valued. Has that

411
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: ever happened before? H? No?

412
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: I think so. I don't think so.

413
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the mar wised up to you know, the Goat.

414
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you're you're pretty high on them

415
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: this week. I think you're Yeah, yeah, I think garage wise, Yeah,

416
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: I was looking at your your numbers. So are you

417
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: confident it's gonna be I know they were talking him up.

418
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: Are you think it's gonna be like pretty much mostly Bo?

419
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: And or it's gonna be more of like a fifty

420
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: to fifty with Malik Heath.

421
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Just some bow is enough bow? You know what I mean?

422
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, no, I think it'll be mostly Bo.

423
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: I definitely have Heath mixing in, but I think they

424
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: usually give Bo more work in these spots. Didn't he

425
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: do pretty well in the playoffs last year too? I

426
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: remember us talking about him heading in.

427
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: A touchdown in the against San Francisco, I want to say,

428
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: and he had one hundred yard game. I think it

429
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: was like week seventeen or eighteen heading into the playoffs,

430
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: and I think he scored in the division round. I

431
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: believe it is.

432
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, He's He's always thrived whenever he's seen

433
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: a chance. So I'd say anytime his odds pop up

434
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: over maybe ten to one this week, he's worth a sprinkle.

435
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of books looks like you know,

436
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: he's around nine to one. I would say that's pretty sharp,

437
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: But if it gets over ten to one, he's definitely

438
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: worth a sprinkle too. All right.

439
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: Next up, we got the Sunday night football game Washington

440
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: Commanders at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bucks favored by three.

441
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: The total fifty and a half. That is the highest

442
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: of wild Card weekend as we tape this here on Thursday, Sean,

443
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: who do you like in commander's bucks?

444
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the Commander's side, I'm gonna go with Austin

445
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Eckler at plus twot eighty. You know, he was able

446
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: to return last week after missing like over a month

447
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: since he suffered that concussion back in week twelve. So

448
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: it's nice to see him back last week. But this

449
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: is a matchup where you know, the Commanders are three

450
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: point underdogs. It's more likely to be you know, trailing

451
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: past heavy game script, so that's gonna benefit Eckler specifically

452
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: out of this backfield, so he could see an uptick

453
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: in playing time because of that. He's been very efficient

454
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: in his role with the Commanders this year. He has

455
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: four touchdowns is the twelve games. You know, the Bucks

456
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: are still dealing with, you know, like a cluster injury

457
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: situation with their safeties, so that could maybe help Eckler,

458
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: you know in the passing game or you know, on

459
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: explosive run if he gets to the second level. So

460
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I think Eckler' sninky here at plus two point eighty.

461
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm projecting him closer to plus two to fifty, but

462
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: I do like his upside just based on this matchup.

463
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: And for the Buccaneers, I gotta go with Baker Mayfield

464
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: to score at plus five point fifty. I mean, he's

465
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he ran nine times for

466
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. Clearly he's more willing to use his

467
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: legs right now, and these must win games like last

468
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: week and if you if you watch that game, he

469
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: was constantly seeking contact, just getting into the Saints players' faces,

470
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: throwing the ball at him, talking shit, like just getting

471
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: fired up. So I think he's gonna keep that going

472
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: this week. So if they get in like a goal

473
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: to go situation, you know, if his first couple reads

474
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: aren't there, uh, he's gonna be more than willing to

475
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: pull the ball down run put his body on the

476
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: line trying to get in for the score. So he

477
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: has three rushing scores on the season. Uh so this

478
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: is already, you know, probably offering some slight value. But

479
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: I think just given last week how he's kind of

480
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: operating in these must win games, I like him at

481
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: plus five fifty to score, projecting him closer to plus

482
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: five hundred. But again, I think his his scrambling upset

483
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: is probably a little bit higher now heading into the playoffs.

484
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Baker Mayfield has just been a monster this year. Hey,

485
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: so there's what offense since two thousand, twenty eight points

486
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: per game, six yards per play, sixty five red zone,

487
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: fifty third down. That one offense is the Tampa Bay

488
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: Buccaneers of twenty twenty four. Yeah, Baker Mayfield, love it,

489
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: yea love it. And Yeah, regarding Ekwer, I think he

490
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: may even be used more than usual because as kind

491
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: of an extension of the run game because Brian Robinson

492
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: hasn't look right. They didn't play McNichols or Rodriguez. Really

493
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: they put him like one snap in the last game,

494
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: and their center Beyondish is a little banged up. So

495
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: is he gonna be able to kind of get out

496
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: and you know, pull around and do all the things,

497
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: because like you can't just have an injured center trying

498
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 2: to move Vita Veil off the ball, like that's not

499
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: gonna work. But if he's he can't be pulling all

500
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: crazy either. It's Robinson's in quicksand so you might just like,

501
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, dump it off to Echo in the red

502
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: zone instead of handing it, you know, from Ryan Robinson

503
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: Junior minus two linebuck near the goal on. So yeah,

504
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: I think Echo has even more chances than usual.

505
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's some great contexts. That's why we were both

506
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: low on Brian Robinson on the previous pot. But yeah,

507
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Tyler beyondish is questionable. I mentioned Brian Robinson Jr. He

508
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: runs inside it the third highest rate. So when Beanish

509
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: is out off the field, his yards per rush go

510
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: down a full yard over a yard, So that's gonna

511
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: be key. And like you said, Vidave is you know

512
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: the human wall just standing there right in the middle.

513
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: So this is a really bad matchup for Brian Robinson.

514
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, it could just lead to more Eckler runs.

515
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: You know. Screen passes to Eckler could be an extension

516
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: of the run game. Just a much better matchup for

517
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: Eckler here.

518
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: All right, the final matchup of Wildcard weekend Monday night football,

519
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings at the Rams rematch that Thursday night game

520
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: earlier this year where the Rams pulled off the upset

521
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: Rams one and a half point home underdogs. In total

522
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: is forty seven and a half for the Rams. Tyer

523
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: Higbee like him. I think he should read the tight

524
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: end room they all played last week. But you know,

525
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: Higby's working his way back. I do think he ends

526
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: up being that number one tight end, and you know,

527
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: I haven't projected for about forty five fifty route rate.

528
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: He's five to one to score. But there's a chance

529
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: he just kind of takes like all of the tight

530
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: end STAPs because I think you pointed out on one

531
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: of our pops either this week or last week, that

532
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: Jean Devay didn't really seem too happy with his you know,

533
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: prio of tight ends this year. Kobe Parkinson, Davis Allen,

534
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: both of those guys got kind of a shot at

535
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: being the top pass catcher. Hunter Long more of a blocker,

536
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: but I think he's hurt anyway. Uh So Higbee could

537
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: go back to that hig beast seventy route rate that

538
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: there's an outside shot of that, So I think you're

539
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: getting kind of some added upside here betting on him

540
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. That's pretty much the only guy like

541
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: on the Rams. Rams are put a bit over value

542
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: of the market, I think in terms of the touchdowns

543
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: for the Vikings, a couple of guys though uh maybe

544
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: it's because you know, recency bias with Sam Dar, but

545
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: a couple of pass catchers for the Vikings. I'm showing

546
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: value on number one Jay with Naylor as usual, he's

547
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: five to one, and I think he should be more

548
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: like four to one, so I would have him at

549
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: plus four hundred. He's out there at plus five hundred

550
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: and that it's been the story all year. He's scored

551
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: in thirty five percent of his games, so I'm always

552
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: I'm projecting him to score like about twenty percent of

553
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: the time, so significant regression, still value in the market.

554
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: They're they're just knocking him way down for some reason.

555
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's to prop up I don't know Hockinson, who

556
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: just never seems to score touchdowns. But speaking of Hockinson,

557
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: also like Josh Oliver in this spot because with Naylor

558
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: and Oliver. You're kind of like, I wouldn't necessarily parlay them,

559
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: but I think one of the two is a good

560
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: bet to score. And Oliver's twelve to one, so both

561
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: of them, you know, pretty big long shots. But there

562
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: is also a chance, after what happened last week with

563
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Sam Donald and all of the rusher and all the

564
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: long developing routes, that they go and say, you know what,

565
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: let's go more two tight ends, more one two personnel.

566
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: That would be Oliver, and he can release into routes

567
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: and he's usually the guy they end up even open

568
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: because you gotta worry about Jefferson Addison Hockinson. So I

569
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: love Josh Oliver at him closer to about ten to one,

570
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: so Higbee nailer Josh Oliver.

571
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not kidding. They're not really offering a bilo

572
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: price on Howkinson, who hasn't scored this year. He's at

573
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: two to one, which reminds me, you know who finally

574
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: hit who finally scored their first touchdown the Seahawks last week?

575
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: Was it no Offan?

576
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't see that? Why? Oh no, I'm confusing.

577
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to kick a barner touchdown from week like

578
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: sixteen with a fan. Yeah, yeah, you're right.

579
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, my boy, finally it finally paid off. He put

580
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: his body on the line though he got kind of

581
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: banged up, but yeah, it was beautiful to see. I

582
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: told it finally the last week. Like you said, we

583
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: should have just done it last week. Parlay with all

584
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the guys that haven't scored for their team yet. But yeah,

585
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: no fan, man, he finally scored for me.

586
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 2: And uh, our guy Gino got his six million dollars

587
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: of incentives. But yeah, I love the uh, I love

588
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: the noa fan call. That's been what it's that's been

589
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: like a show favorite. And he hasn't He hasn't scored

590
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: all year as a Seahawks period.

591
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Well yeah, he started off as a DFS play, which

592
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: he was doing fine. You know, catching four balls for

593
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: fifty yards is pretty good for a cheap tight end,

594
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: but he just wasn't scoring. But yeah, two seasons with

595
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: the Seahawks now he's part of that Russell Wilson trade.

596
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Finally scored his first touchdown with the Seahawks. So congrats, no.

597
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: Fan, yes, sir, all right, that is gonna do it.

598
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,400
