Hey, Jason Smith, your your jets lost, talk 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: about it. Jason Smith and jo Joe town Cell. He 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: was a great number three receiver, great great he was okay, 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: except not at all. He was great when when a 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: great number three receiver would catch like fifteen passes a year, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: he gets that one pastor in a game for a 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: first down. Oh wow, that's great. Now you know, you 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: catch fifteen passes, you're out of the league. Exactly exact. 27 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: He was no Chris per Kett. No Chris per Kett was. 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: He was a guy who had so much potential and 29 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: it just never happened for him. He should have been 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: so much better than he was. I want to know 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: how many times this year, in fact, Adam, I want 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: you to give me an over under on this. How 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: many times do you think that Jason Smith said here's 34 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: a guy. Here's a guy. I want to know who 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: says Jason Smith says here's a guy, or Tim Ryan 36 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: goes talk about it. I say, here's a guy. I 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: like to say, here's a guy. You said, a receiver 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: that catches fifteen passes is out of the lead. Guess 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: how many passes chat out your single cards? Well in 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: the league. Oh wow, Well, let's let's do. By the way, 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals like this is the thing that trips me 42 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: out about the Bengals. They traded Carson Palmer got a 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: couple of first round picks for it. They got Red Dalton, 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: they got rid of Ocho Cinco and and tarall Owens 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: got a j Green. They're in the what happened to 46 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: the Bengals? This isn't the Bengals that everybody knew. They're 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: actually making smart decision negativity. They're playing well. Their defense 48 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: is really what's carried them. As good as they've been 49 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: any Daltons was pretty good. Their defense really you got 50 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: to give credit because they were just factor guys in 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: in and out there. They'd be like five or six 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: guys coming to every single time. They got rid of 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: all the bad guys, brought in all these good guys. 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: They make the playsts and then nobody shows up to 55 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: their games exactly. That's how it goes. It's like Bill 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Murray and Groundhog Day, like nobody trust them to do 57 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: last night, Like we don't believe that you're a good person. 58 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: That's one of the movies that like every time it's on, 59 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: you have to watch it. Well, you mentioned it, you 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: mentioned Ryerson. I'm trying to keep us, I'm trying to 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: keep us on track. You're not a job. You have 62 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: an arrow going down next. I can't get the words out, 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: but you mentioned the Bengals. They are active in the 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: wild card. They're playing at Houston. The Bengals are the 65 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: six seed in the a f C playoffs. Jordan Shipley, 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: don't forget slot receiver. He'll be back next year. You 67 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: know you team him up with a J. Green Jermaine Gresham, 68 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: A J. Green, Jermaine Gresham. Andy Dalton said, Benson Bernard Scott. 69 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: That could be a formidable offense. Their line has done 70 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: a pretty good job. I'm right there with it. It's 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: totally different Bengals team. But talking about the Bengals, they're 72 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: one of the teams that are active. And in the 73 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Fantasy Playoff challenge that we're doing on NFL dot Com, 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: our users are confronted with do we pick somebody from 75 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: the Bengals, from the Texans one of these wild card 76 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: teams that we think can advance themselves, or do we 77 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: not do that? Do we sit those guys and play 78 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: a guy like Jordy Nelson who actually isn't gonna play 79 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: in the first round because we think the Packers are 80 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna go to the super Bowl, etcetera, etcetera. It's got 81 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: to be a mix and match to me, because I 82 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: know a lot of the the gut instinct is to 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: play these guys who are gonna get you double points 84 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: in the second round. Guy like Aaron Rodgers guaranteed to 85 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: give you double points if you started this week, take 86 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: a zero in the first round, go to the one. 87 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: You get the double points. But if you can get 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: a guy like Eli Manning, Drew Brees, somebody who's gonna 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: probably win his first round game, go to a second 90 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: round game, so you get to double the points right there. 91 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Plus you get those first round points too, that could 92 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: be the difference between winning and losing. And when the 93 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: playoffs are this wide open, and I know everybody's kind 94 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: of kissed the Patriots into the super Bowl, the Packers 95 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: into the super Bowl, I think it's completely wide open. 96 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: You can make a case for a number of teams, 97 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: probably everybody except for the Broncos. So to me, I'm 98 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: looking for a nice mix of here's a guy I know, Okay, 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take here's a guy. I'm gonna take Jordy Nelson, 100 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with him. But I'm also going 101 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to take a chance with a guy like him Bradshaw, 102 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: because I think the Giants can make a run in 103 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs and start racking up those bonus points. Well, 104 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: I think that's where the question comes because there's so 105 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: many good wide receivers that you're gonna take Wes Welker, 106 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna take Jordy Nelson, because these are guys are 107 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: gonna go. Marcus Colston, I know FABS is really high 108 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: on him. Maybe he thinks the Saints can make it 109 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: all the way through. But running backs, who's the best 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: running back in the NFC that you think can play 111 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: all the way to the super Baran and get you points? 112 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: Darren Darren Sprawl, that's crazy. The best running back in 113 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: the a f C is Arian Foster. He's the only 114 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: guy to meet from this Bengals Texans game that I 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: think I would think about taking because I think they're 116 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: gonna win. I think the Texans defense is gonna be 117 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: too much for the Bengals. Know everything said and done. 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: For Cincinnati. It's a rookie quarterback play in his first 119 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: playoff game. He's on the road. Texans have a great defense. 120 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: I think I'll get two games out of Arian Foster. 121 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: But the running back this is where I am the 122 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: running back I'm taking. I'm taking Ben Jarvis green Ellis 123 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: because I think at least he's gonna get the touchdowns 124 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: and by the time I get to the Super Bowl 125 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: he has a couple of one yeard touchdown runs. I'm 126 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: getting forty eight points and exactly and where of their 127 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: game you can make an argument at Marcus Colston is 128 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the best fantasy receiver available poster wide receiver Calvin Johnson, 129 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: and I would argue that while I am going to 130 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: start Calvin Johnson in my wild Card week round round 131 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: starting lineup, just maybe hoping maybe he has a giant 132 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: game exactly, Uh, Colson is my number one guy because 133 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: I think the Saints are going all the way. Well, 134 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: there's such a dearth of running backs to try to 135 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: pick from, to go all the weights outside of Ray Rice, 136 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: who's gonna gonna be we take two running backs. I'm 137 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: taking Ben Jarvis green Ellis and Ray Rice because Ray Rice, 138 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: I think I'll get a couple of games. He's gonna 139 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: get to the a f C Championship game and if 140 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: he gets the Super Bowl, alright, great, I got right 141 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: right in. Let's say one thing though, honestly, let's take 142 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: away the the bye teams. Okay, the bye week teams. 143 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Is there one team other than the Steelers that you 144 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: can say they are definitely winning this week? There's no 145 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: doubt about it. See, I'm not even with you on 146 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers. I got a funny feeling about the Steelers 147 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: this week. That's what makes this game. Don't run the football, 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: they're banged up. The Broncos get after the quarterback. Their 149 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: defense is better than advertised. I'm this is not your 150 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: typical Oh, here's a great Steeler team. They're going to 151 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I don't know that this is there. 152 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm scared for them. Well, you know, just like their 153 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: pass rushes unruly. You guys are unruly. I gotta I 154 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: gotta keep us on point here. We were still doing 155 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: a horrible job. I agree. I used the Bengals as 156 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: a jumping off point because you guys are going so 157 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: far off into Tim Ryan. But I don't think any 158 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: of us really think about it. I don't believe any 159 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: of any of us really believe in playing any of 160 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: the Bengals in the playoff challenge. But we got so 161 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: deep into this that we're assuming that all of you 162 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,559 Speaker 1: that are listening to us are familiar with the Playoff Challenge. 163 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: If you are not, go to NFL dot com slash 164 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Playoff Challenge. The key here is you are picking a 165 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: lineup that you think is going to get the most 166 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: aggregate points in the playoffs. And by aggregate, if you 167 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: start a guy in the first round and he makes 168 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: it to the championship game, you get double points in 169 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: divisional round, and you get triple points in the championship game. 170 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: By virtue of picking a guy in the wild card 171 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: round that goes all the way to the the super Bowl, 172 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get quadruple points in the super Bowl. Now, 173 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: if you pick a guy in the wild card round 174 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: like Calvin Johnson who fabs mentioned and he doesn't advance, 175 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: you get his single points in the wild card round, 176 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: but you're forced to pick a receiver in the second round, 177 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: and in the second round he will only get single points. 178 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: He will not get double points. Whereas if you've taken 179 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that that same guy in the wild card round and 180 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: he advanced the divisional round, you get the double points. 181 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: I hope that made sense to everybody, right. It's a 182 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: little bit confusing, but basically the gist of it is 183 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: you want to pick the players you think that will 184 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: be the most productive, who will last the longest in 185 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the postseason. So again I used the example Aaron Rodgers 186 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: last year in two thousand and ten went from wild 187 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: card to Super Bowl Championship. He was a phenomenal player 188 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL Playoff Challenge. The same thing in two 189 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: thousand and eight with the Cardinals and Kurt Warner and 190 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: especially Larry Fitzgerald, who broke all kinds of postseason records. 191 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: They were great during this postseason challenge. Thought that coming 192 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: from anybody, right, So you can pick me. You can 193 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: pick any combination of lineup that you want to gain. 194 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com slash Playoff Challenge. The winner could win 195 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: a trip to Super Bowl right in New Orleans. Yes, 196 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: my crazy, No, you're not that. That's pretty win my league, 197 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: the rank amateurs. I will send you my copy of 198 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Van Halen. Wait can track it's the c D man. 199 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay, wait wait, you're you're buying us, You're 200 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: buying giving you. It's a memento from my collection. I 201 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: think is a pretty nice price. We can't we can't 202 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: play the CD, but here it is. It'll play now. 203 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: My Men at Work, my Contrabandman at Work. That one 204 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: doesn't work. That's what I was going to give out. 205 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: But the first two songs, which are Laying down Under 206 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: and who Can It Be? Now, they don't work. So 207 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: that's not a good I love be Good Johnny on 208 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: the album. But I want to get both of you 209 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: guys opinions, Adam and Jason on on Something By the 210 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: way NFL dot com slash podcast, you can listen to 211 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: Dave damash x podcast. You can listen to our serious 212 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: NFL fancy live radio show. Again. This is an extra 213 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: overtime segment we're doing to talk about Playoffsans demanded it, 214 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: really they demanded. But Adam, Jason, I want your opinions 215 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: on two things. Number one, what defense are you playing 216 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: the playoff challenge? And two, what's the best song do 217 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: we play defense? Defense into the playoff challenge. I'm not 218 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: a big I don't like defense. I wish they would 219 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: take it out of fantasy football because it means nothing 220 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: to me. I would pick again, You're gonna look for 221 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: a team that's gonna be able to advance a couple 222 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: of rounds. Steelers see, I'm going they're gonna get so 223 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: many turnovers against the Bronco But here's the other thing. 224 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: There's they're a horrible team defensively. But the Patriots, now 225 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about the playoffs, look at the Look at 226 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: the caliber of quarterbacks that are in the rest of 227 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: the a f C. Joe Flacco is the next best one. 228 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: All right. Ben Roethlisberger is tough, he's hobbled, and the 229 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: Patriots have owned Roethlisberger his entire career. T J Yates, 230 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Tim Tebow. I'm fine riding the Patriots. I 231 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: think we could get picked sixes. I say we like, 232 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm actually playing people. I picked them, so you might 233 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: if you're on the probably have to play defense because 234 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: they pulling everybody. I'm five, not Julian Edelman. Yeah, you're perfect. 235 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: When when I leap, I get to about five eleven, 236 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: so I can pull down a couple of perfect Patriots 237 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: guy and now. Elliott also mentioned the best song off 238 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: of Van Halen's nine any four. Interesting story about the 239 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: song Panama. Now, obviously everybody knows this is a song 240 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: about a car. The reason that they did this song 241 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: was because David Lee Roth had read a an article 242 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: where somebody said, hey, this guy only sings about sex 243 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: and booze and cars. And David Lee Roth realized, I've 244 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: never written a song about a car, so he picked 245 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: a song. So he wrote a song about a car 246 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: that he saw in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway called 247 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: Sweet Panama or something like that. That is where Panama 248 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: came from. But that is not the best song on 249 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: the album. The best song is all wait. I just 250 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: went to snopes dot com to try to verify Adam 251 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: Ranks story there and I could not, So I think 252 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: we have to take that with a with a great assault. 253 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: I look at up what it's It's fact. You know 254 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: what my favorite songs, Well, obviously you love when you 255 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: first listen to it, and you love Jump, alright, you 256 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: listen in the big solo that goes in, you love Jump, 257 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: you love Panama. I'll wait a good song. I like that. 258 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: I like Tom Jimmy, you've been awfully, awfully quiet here 259 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: playing fabs. And what's the best van Haan song for? 260 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: Uh dude? I Panama is my favorite Van Halen song 261 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: of all time. So I mean that goes about saying 262 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: defenseive playing the Steelers because I think that team has 263 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: the best chance to win and go a couple of 264 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: rounds deep into the a f C postseason. And you know, 265 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,239 Speaker 1: I've been on Tebow all year. I've been on the bandwagon, 266 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: but I'm a little afraid of what I've seen all 267 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: for him the last couple of weeks. Uh. And you 268 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: know the Steelers defense. Listen that they they've gotten to 269 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: where they are today based on that on that defense 270 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: because Roethlisberger has not played well lately. The offense has 271 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: not played great, They've been pretty inconsistent. So I'm going 272 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Steelers defense. Uh. The one thing here that I think 273 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about is how actual football affects the 274 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: NFL playoff challenge here, and Jason Smith and I are 275 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: in completely opposite ends of the spectrum on here. I 276 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: would avoid the Patriots and I know they're in a 277 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: number one seed in the a f C. And I 278 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: know that they have Tom Brady and they have Wes Welker, 279 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: and they have two of the best tight ends in 280 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: not only the NFL but fantasy football. But their defense 281 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: is terrible, thirty first ranked defense in the league. That's 282 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: another reason why I'm a little worried about the Packers too, 283 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: because their thirty second. And I know, Jason and you 284 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: make a really great point about the fact that there's 285 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: not a lot of good teams in the a f C. 286 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: The Patriots can maybe overcome the fact that they have 287 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: a liability at defense, but I just think they haven't 288 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: won a playoff game since two thousand and seven. And 289 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: when it comes down to the postseason, man, you've got 290 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: to have a defense that can stop somebody, and the 291 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: Patriots couldn't stop anybody. If you look at the games 292 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: down the stretch, they gave up big fantasy points to 293 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Matt Moore, Dani Rolovski, Vince Young, Ryan Fitzpatrick. These are 294 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: not the elite quarterbacks in the league. That's why I 295 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: don't agree with that. That's just my opinion. Butts and 296 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: I hear you on that. But my point is that 297 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: and I and You're absolutely right with that. But the 298 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: path of least resistance to the Super Bowl goes through 299 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: the a f C. I have less concerns of the 300 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Patriots at home facing anybody in the a f C Championship, 301 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: and then I do the Green Bay Packers because if 302 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: the Giants are playing against the Packers, boy, that's a 303 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: tough one for the Packers. That's a tough people to 304 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: try to beat them. The Saints, yes, on the road, 305 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: they've never won a road playoff game. But Saints and 306 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: the Packers in the NFC title game, it's a nice day. 307 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions here. There's they would have 308 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: to beat San Francisco, who would also have a chance 309 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: against the Packers. But here's the thing, it's tougher in 310 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: the NFC. I feel better about saying, well, I'm gonna 311 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: take the role. I'm gonna go Robert Frost. I will 312 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: take the road less taken, and that will make the difference. 313 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: You lost everybody, really everybody had Robb I'm kidding, but 314 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: but but look at their last playoffs since Fabiano was 315 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: talking about two thousand and seven. They lose to the 316 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: Giants and the Super Bowl. Last year they lost to 317 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the Jets. The year before they lost in the Ravens. 318 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: That game wasn't close. And those are those games where 319 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: you look at and you look at the quarterback that 320 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: he's playing against. Mark Sanchez versus Tom Brady, it's no contest, Mark, 321 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady versus Joe Flacco, it's no contest. 322 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: But you can scheme against the Patriots in the playoffs, 323 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and they're exposed and they're not a good playoff team. 324 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: That the fact of the matter is they're not a 325 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: good playoff team. Their defense makes some a liability. When 326 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: you get into the playoffs, it's all about the defense. 327 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: Things get a little tighter. You have to be able 328 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball. That's and the Packers were, to me, 329 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: just the exception that proves the rule, the one time 330 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: they were able to do it without running the ball. 331 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: And I look forward to the Patriots losing. Not that 332 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it, but I'm against me. I 333 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: want you to be on the right. I'm trying to 334 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: help you. Let me ask you guys a little trivia 335 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: as it relates to playoff challenge. What's my Twitter handle again? 336 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: So that I could tweet myself? But would be my 337 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: first tweet? Well, fab set it up. You know, Harrison 338 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: score NFL at Harrison underscore Harrison NFL nobody. It's so 339 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: we just score. We just did the underscore. I don't underscore. 340 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: I just go straight up. Adam Rank Michael By some 341 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: sort of opera singer, so I could take Italian oppers. 342 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: He was actually in uh I think New York like 343 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: last week there was a big on him in New York. Yeah, okay, 344 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: so the San Francisco for right hoers, guys, the San 345 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Honors. You guys have been talking about defenses 346 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: and about what teams have the best chance. Are tied 347 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: with another team for the most takeaways in the NFL. Now, 348 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: obviously in fantasy you get a lot of turnovers that 349 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: get you a lot of points on the defensive end. 350 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: Can you tell me what team is tied with the 351 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Niners there in the playoffs for most takeaways in the 352 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: league at thirty eight? Well, that's funny because I was 353 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: gonna say Seattle because it seemed like they had a 354 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: lot of takeaway against the Philadelphia fab says green Bay. 355 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, let's say Cincinnati, and I'm gonna say 356 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: Bengals as well. Okay, it is, in fact the Green 357 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. So you're talking about playing defenses and the 358 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Packers defense being awful. But I submit to you that 359 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: you get interceptions, you get forced fumbles, you get two points. 360 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: They play better when they have to. It seems like 361 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: if they need to make a stop, except for Kansas City, 362 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: they weren't able to do it. But the package were 363 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: able to stop a team when they really needed to. 364 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't see the Patriots doing that. Well, let me 365 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: just say this about playing the Packers defense, and then 366 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: Jason and you have to defend the Patriots. Well, here's 367 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: the thing. The Patriots are. The defenses the Patriots are. 368 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna play one inferior team at home away from 369 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: the a f C champions like the Jets last year, 370 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: will take thouse chances. Well, the a f C this 371 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: year is much more watered down than it was last year. 372 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: The Jets are really good team. Last year, there are 373 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: a lot of good teams last but you talking about 374 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: last year where there were more good teams in the 375 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: a f C. There's not many Jets. Last year the 376 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: Jets were very good. Now there were eleven games. Last 377 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: year they could have what the mark they stud mark 378 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: not good. Okay, welcome and welcome to the bandwagon. But 379 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: this year the a f C is so watered down. 380 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Chances that the Patriots I'm taking 381 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: with the Patriots defense against other teams than I am 382 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: going through the other I'm also going to get a chance. 383 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: Teams are gonna try to throw the football. They're gonna 384 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: have to try to throw the football to beat the Patriots. 385 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: And when it's one of those quarterbacks who can't throw 386 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: the football, those are pick sixes. Go on the other way. Well, 387 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: let me just that's what I wanted to ask you about. 388 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: You guys are hard to rein in well after the 389 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: last four months. So whether the Falcons or Giants win 390 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: that game, I think the Saints beat the Lions, that 391 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: would mean the Falcons or John's travel up to that. Okay, 392 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: you know in the playoffs, you're taking chances in the 393 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: fourth quarter because your season is over if you don't. Okay, 394 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: that being said, Eli Manning or Matt Ryan is behind 395 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: to Green Bay by two or three touchdowns in the 396 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they are gonna be airing it out, and 397 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: you know the Packers can get you that pick six. 398 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying the Packers defense is not a bad play 399 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 1: in this playoff challenge because not only if you get 400 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: two interceptions, that's four points. Charles Woodson takes one of 401 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: the house, now you're talking six points, that's ten. Clay 402 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: Matthews gets you a couple of sacks, you could have 403 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: a fifth from the Packers too, that if you pick 404 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: a defense that actually wins games, you get into initial 405 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: five points. So that's another reason to really try and 406 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: go with the defense that not only is going to last, 407 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: but it's got that playmaking ability. And I think the 408 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: Packers defense going into this would have been number one 409 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: had they not had that week. That's that's a great point. 410 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: And Jason, something you talked about on NFL Fantasy Live. 411 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: I believe it was Wednesday show, or actually it was 412 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: one of our pre tape segments where we talked about 413 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: the the tight ends. Aaron hernande as you mentioned, is 414 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: a good risk play if you're trying to change your 415 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: lineup and separate yourself from other people and playoff challenge 416 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: so that you not everyone's wrong with the same guys. 417 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: You said, Aaron Hernandez is a good play. What are 418 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: some other good position plays. They're a little bit risky, 419 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: but you can get high reward based on the fact 420 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: that you're playing someone completely different than what the pack 421 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: is doing. I think if you if you want to 422 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: try to ride with Eli Manning. I know that everybody's 423 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: looking at Drew Brees is being the hot guy right now, 424 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: but look at what the Giants are doing if you 425 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: really think that, because look, if you take the Giants 426 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: and you take a bunch of Giants players and try 427 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: to go all the way, you'll win. I mean that's it. 428 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: Because you could be a point where your your team 429 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: is really good, but you get to the super Bowl, 430 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: it's like, well, we're all playing Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, 431 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: we all have the same guys going. Eli is a 432 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: guy that I don't want to say it looks like 433 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: two thousand seven. It's too easy to say, well, here 434 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: they are in a hot streak, but this line's up 435 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: pretty good for them because they're gonna win this game, 436 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: and you know it's gonna be thirty five degrees and 437 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: rainy on Sunday when they play. They're gonna go into 438 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: Lambeau where they they've already played them once this year, 439 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: played them pretty tough. They've done it before that. Eli 440 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: Manning has gone into in an NFC seven like two 441 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: thousand seven, that could be suddenly you're like, my god, 442 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: it why didn't they see this coming from the Giants. 443 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: Eli is a guy right there that I would I 444 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: would think, boyfriend, really want to go different, want to 445 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: go gutsie? I would go Eli and run the Giant. 446 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm going with amd Bradshaw because for 447 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: that reason, because there's not a lot of great options 448 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: at running back, I'll take a Bradshaw. I think you're 449 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: absolutely right, and you take the real football and the 450 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: Giants have the defense to make a run. That's a 451 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: good thing. If you want to take a risk, you 452 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: want to do, you know, a desk if you want 453 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: to take the Eli Manning pirouette followed by the blind Shaw. Okay, 454 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: so we got Eli, we got Aman Bradshaw. Who would 455 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: be a sleeper pick for you to differentiate yourself from 456 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: the pack. A sleeper pick somebody that that that you 457 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: would roll with in a playoff challenge, just so that 458 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: you have some different than everyone else, has to maybe 459 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: get a higher reward on the back end if they 460 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: make the Super Bowl. Man, that's a tough one. It's 461 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: really a tough one because the teams that are all 462 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: favorite are the big scoring teams, right the Packers and 463 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: the Saints. If I had to go with a sleeper, 464 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: it's probably been Matt Stafford because Matt Stafford, I think 465 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: the is the epitome of a sleeper in this game. 466 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: Which is odd because the guy just threw for five 467 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: thousand yards and forty touchdowns. But no one expects the 468 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: Lions to win. No one expects Alliance to beat the Saints. 469 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: If they do go ahead and beat the Saints, Stafford 470 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: is gonna be a pretty good play. That's a big 471 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: time sleeper. I'm not going after him, But if you 472 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: want a sleeper, you want a guy who's productive and 473 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: who isn't expected to go far. The definition of a 474 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: sleeper in the NFL playoff challenge, I'll go Matt Stafford. 475 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: All right, I'll give you mine. Minds, Mike Wallace, I 476 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: think the best wide receiver in fantasy is Calvin Johnson. 477 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: I doubt you guys would disagree with that, but I 478 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: don't think much many of us out there give Detroit 479 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: a chance. So I think he's one and done. I 480 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: think Marcus Colston's a solid play. With Greg Jennings injury situation, 481 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people will be playing Jordy Nelson. They'll 482 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: they'll take him in the second round and get those 483 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: double points. So if you want to differentiate yourself, go 484 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: with Mike Wallace. Yeah, he's gonna have a tough matchup 485 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: against the Broncos, but Steelers probably win that game. Then 486 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: they would they would play the Patriots with the worst 487 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: secondary in the league. So then you you have him 488 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: an a f C Championship game.
