Speaker 1: You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy
Speaker 1: knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned into
Speaker 1: the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Next on
Speaker 1: that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one
Speaker 1: of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds, a
Speaker 1: k a to Spitting Statistician a k a to Stable
Speaker 1: Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network,
Speaker 1: episode number four hundred and twenty seven, the four hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty seven convening of the Stats Overbeat Cipher. And
Speaker 1: it is a very special one because if you are
Speaker 1: are still here, maybe just hopefully, either you are three
Speaker 1: hours away from it or maybe you already have one
Speaker 1: your league and one that cash. And I got people
Speaker 1: hitting me up on social media left and right that Yo,
Speaker 1: I won my league and won net cash. Yo, I
Speaker 1: won my league and won net cash. And I know
Speaker 1: some people are going to after Monday night football tonight
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. Will
Speaker 1: tell you what I think about that. Some prop bets
Speaker 1: to play just in case you didn't get your cash
Speaker 1: in season long, you can still do it on any
Speaker 1: Monday night. Football will get you ready for that. Also,
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge there are still some people who
Speaker 1: play in week seventeen. So I gotta give you a
Speaker 1: couple of things that Speed's got right, a couple of
Speaker 1: things that Speed's got wrong, and even some people on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. We will also talk about some of
Speaker 1: the league's we have been following for a long time.
Speaker 1: All right, we will talk about you know these Remember
Speaker 1: I was in two finals, I was in four semifinals,
Speaker 1: fo finals. I'll let you know how we did. Knows.
Speaker 1: We've got the Stats Overbeats final and by the way, people,
Speaker 1: it has not been decided yet. Okay, so we are
Speaker 1: we are going to find out who will win first
Speaker 1: ever Stats Overbeats league. But we got a whole lot
Speaker 1: of other stuff to do, okay, because the cycle just
Speaker 1: keeps turning, right, So we have to talk about who
Speaker 1: got banged up, who laid duds, and what that means
Speaker 1: for you moving forward in fantasy or in other ways.
Speaker 1: If you're capping the games, if you're gonna play DFS regardless,
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins with that ankle. He got carded off the field.
Speaker 1: That looks like he's gonna be you know, obviously they
Speaker 1: don't have any more games left. It was the worst
Speaker 1: thing possible, right. I'm glad he avoided catastrophic injury that
Speaker 1: would you know, be surgery or something that he had
Speaker 1: to you know, impact his offseason program. But still the
Speaker 1: ankle doesn't look good. Spa, he'll be gone for a week.
Speaker 1: Seven teen Spencer wear out with a shoulder. James Conner
Speaker 1: with a thigh. A lot of people were riding him
Speaker 1: now that he was back with the Pittsburgh Steelers, thought
Speaker 1: that he would have a shot to deliver a fantasy championship.
Speaker 1: I had shares of James Conner in a championship matchup.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you if I want to lost that one
Speaker 1: a little bit later on zach Ertz with a rib.
Speaker 1: This one could be very interesting, Okay, for a number
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, Earth is clearly a championship caliber tight
Speaker 1: end for your fantasy team. There are probably some big
Speaker 1: deal teams that have zach arts. But also, you know,
Speaker 1: it was the emergence of Dallas Goddard, as we told
Speaker 1: you about over the last couple of weeks. And also
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is trending like he may be coming back
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Football Giants
Speaker 1: coming up in week six seventeen after come back from
Speaker 1: that shoulder injury. D J. Moore in the Concussion Protocol,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis in the Concussion Protocol, Kyler Murray with a
Speaker 1: hamstring Now they said he also avoided catastrophic injury and
Speaker 1: that it's just like kind of a normal strain. We
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to wind up playing in
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. They don't have much to play for, so
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the better part of judgment is to
Speaker 1: keep him on ice for Week seventeen against the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Keep an eye out for that. We'll give
Speaker 1: you an update on that on the Thursday edition of
Speaker 1: Anacy Freestyle. Mark Ingram with the calf injury. That's a
Speaker 1: big one because listen, they've got they're calling it maybe
Speaker 1: a three week thing. They're gonna arrest them this week regardless.
Speaker 1: Then they have the bye week, right so right there
Speaker 1: for divisional matchup. They are now hopeful that he'll be
Speaker 1: okay for a divisional matchup. But remember They've got so
Speaker 1: many other running backs and that scheme is kind of
Speaker 1: plug and play guys like Gus Edwards, guys like even
Speaker 1: Justice Hill. All right, so they have plenty of options
Speaker 1: over there. Will fully reaggravated that groin injury. It looks
Speaker 1: like he's gonna miss some time now. And even you
Speaker 1: know Houston in the playoffs, it's looking like he is
Speaker 1: going to miss time. We'll see if that has impact.
Speaker 1: You know, they at least have this week. Um, they're
Speaker 1: locked in. They're gonna make the playoffs because their w
Speaker 1: on Saturday, big knock to the Seattle Seahawks running game.
Speaker 1: I think Seattle, more than any other team maybe had
Speaker 1: the worst Week six team. They lost Chris Carson to
Speaker 1: a hip injury. He gone rest of the season. They
Speaker 1: lost c J Process, the backup out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: to an arm injury. He gone. We're getting reports people
Speaker 1: that maybe Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch is flying up to Seattle.
Speaker 1: He may work out and sign a deal. Jay A
Speaker 1: g i E was cut today by the Eagles. Maybe
Speaker 1: he goes out to Seattle. Seattle, we know this. They
Speaker 1: have a huge game next week that's been flexed to
Speaker 1: Sunday night against the San Francisco forty Niners. But they're
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, So will it be you know,
Speaker 1: with a by getting somebody time to get caught up
Speaker 1: to speed, or will they be playing and turn around
Speaker 1: and you know, traveling to uh potentially a Philly or
Speaker 1: Dallas for a wild card game without these running backs.
Speaker 1: They also lost tackle Dwayne Brown. That's a huge offensive line.
Speaker 1: Last Seattle got beat up bad in this game, and
Speaker 1: then they went ahead and lost to the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: giving the seat San Francisco forty Niners the kind of
Speaker 1: inside track on the NFC West Division and quite frankly
Speaker 1: a bye in the NFC. Talking about in week seventeen,
Speaker 1: one of the things that we're going to have to
Speaker 1: be talking about is like where resting their team their
Speaker 1: players are not certainty. Teams are have already come out
Speaker 1: and said they will probably rest some of their stoughts.
Speaker 1: Baltimore has said this, we will not see Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: His m v P regular season is over. We'll probably
Speaker 1: not see We're not gonna see Ingram, We're not gonna
Speaker 1: see something Earl tom As some of their linemen. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think Mark Andrews got a little bit gimpy, might
Speaker 1: not see him. However, the Houston Texans, they are gonna
Speaker 1: play their guys. They were Bill O'Brien's already come out
Speaker 1: and said, guys like DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills, they are
Speaker 1: going to play. Deshaun Watson is going to play Week
Speaker 1: sixteen against the Tennessee Titans. Now, remember Tennessee needs that
Speaker 1: game to win to uh make the playoffs. Okay, if
Speaker 1: they lose win, If they lose, excuse me, and Pittsburgh wins,
Speaker 1: then it would in fact be Pittsburgh. We also got
Speaker 1: a big poll question up. All right, I got a
Speaker 1: poll question up at spitting speed. You can always check him.
Speaker 1: Because I thought about the Tennessee game, makes me think
Speaker 1: about New Orleans and what Michael Thomas has done this year.
Speaker 1: He broke the all time record and he still has
Speaker 1: a game to play. He's got a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five catches. So I ask you, if you're in a
Speaker 1: PPR format next year, where are your drafting Michael Thomas?
Speaker 1: Are you drafting Michael Thomas? Literally? First, overall, it's been
Speaker 1: a while since the wide receiver really was in consideration
Speaker 1: from true number one to overall. Would you draft him
Speaker 1: first overall? Would you draft him somewhere in the top
Speaker 1: five maybe like you did with a guy like DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins or Antonio Brown in in recent years. Would you
Speaker 1: just take him no, just late first round because you say, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe I can get that production from other wide outs
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones or DeAndre or someone else that you
Speaker 1: think could have send and be in that level next year.
Speaker 1: Or are you someone who, like you, don't go wide
Speaker 1: receiver in the first round. You just get that that
Speaker 1: work horse running back in the first round. Let me know, okay,
Speaker 1: right now, you say that Michael Thomas is a first
Speaker 1: round top five pick. Interesting, that's kind of where like
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara was last year? Has he passed Alvin Camara?
Speaker 1: Let mean know at spitting speeds my takeaways, what speeds
Speaker 1: got right? With speeds got wrong? Come on back on
Speaker 1: the other side of fantasy freestyle. You heard Billy Dilly.
Speaker 1: You're NFL season is an ALTNA, so you can be
Speaker 1: on the eighth person wain one million dollars in a
Speaker 1: Fanueler Draft Kings tournament. My sator lineup using the Daily

Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven of the Fantasy Freestyle right here
Speaker 1: on sports Grid. Good to see so many members of
Speaker 1: the stats Overbeat site from the chat room as always,
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley, the Henderson family, my man Danny Lee from
Speaker 1: an undisclosed location. Hey, Danny, No, I have not yet
Speaker 1: gotten the package, okay, but it's probably coming in a
Speaker 1: couple of days. Don't sweat that. Snorkel Ops in the building.
Speaker 1: You're right about James Conner. He's certainly not the terminator.
Speaker 1: It's like he's made of Mr Glass. I agree, and
Speaker 1: you know what, m HM? Does that carry forward for
Speaker 1: you for next year? Snorkel Ops and others? Are you
Speaker 1: gonna like this year? Connor was a top ten running
Speaker 1: back going into fantasy drafts. Right He was like RB
Speaker 1: seven eight nine, A lot of people. His production is
Speaker 1: still there when he's there, Right, He's still gonna be
Speaker 1: the lead back of a Pittsburgh Steelers offense with big
Speaker 1: Ben back likely. Right, Let's say he's ranked as like
Speaker 1: an RB eleven and you're there at the turn and
Speaker 1: James Conner is there? Do you pass on James Connor
Speaker 1: because of the injury history and like the injury prone nous?
Speaker 1: You know, because I would ask you, what about a
Speaker 1: guy like Dalvin Cook? Do you pass on him because
Speaker 1: of injury prone nous? It's an interesting question to me.
Speaker 1: And then Tom Pierce, Yeah, I'm talking about top three
Speaker 1: from Michael Thomas, like who would it be? Right, Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: do you go back to Sa Kwan even though it
Speaker 1: just what about say Kwan Barkley yesterday? Huh? Right, further
Speaker 1: removed from the ankle injury, looking good, he's probably still
Speaker 1: a top three, top five pick. Someone in the chat
Speaker 1: room was talking to me about what about Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would count on him again
Speaker 1: to have this over the course of a full year,
Speaker 1: but maybe he could be an RB one next year.
Speaker 1: You go back to a guy like Zeke I mentioned
Speaker 1: Cook What about a guy like Lamar. Someone's gonna take
Speaker 1: Lamar in the first round of draft next year, right,
Speaker 1: So does Michael Thomas fit in there? Guys like Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: that's interesting, you know, I like other ascending running backs.
Speaker 1: What about a guy like a Devin Singletary. And obviously
Speaker 1: there's others, you know, don't forget about guys like obviously
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, lev Bell. You know where all these people,
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, you know, we know about this, Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: who was playing tonight, um. But where Thomas fits in
Speaker 1: there is pretty interesting. But not even let me when
Speaker 1: we talk about takeaways. You know, let's let's talk about
Speaker 1: what big takeaways, what we got right, what we got wrong?
Speaker 1: And honestly, you know, we'll save the Michael Thomas. But
Speaker 1: you know, I want to talk about this because tanking,
Speaker 1: and it has been such a big issue all year.
Speaker 1: Players don't tank. Look at that Cincinnati Miami game. First
Speaker 1: of all, you think Andy Dalton is tanking because he
Speaker 1: wants the Bengals to draft Joe Burrow to replace him. No,
Speaker 1: he goes out there and throws three nineties yards and
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Players ain't tanking, Okay, you think Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: has a tanking bone in his body. Coaches don't take Okay,
Speaker 1: you see Flores for Miami all season long. He's been
Speaker 1: getting it after it, yelling at officials, going hard, guys
Speaker 1: playing for him. Teams don't tank what players don't tank.
Speaker 1: Coaches don't tank. They are preparing, They are working their
Speaker 1: ass off. You know who tanks though front offices and
Speaker 1: general managers. That's why you'll see a team like Cincinnati
Speaker 1: go to Ryan Finley to evaluate him. That's why you'll
Speaker 1: see Miami go ahead and trade everyone. That's how they
Speaker 1: were trying to tank. Okay, and think about it. They
Speaker 1: traded away Kenny Stills useful for Houston, Jeremy tunsl why
Speaker 1: excuse me, Laramie Tunsel useful for Houston. DeVante Parker it though,
Speaker 1: decided to keep him Gaze didn't like him. Now he's
Speaker 1: blowing up signing an extension. Uh minca Fitzpatrick, they like
Speaker 1: all him now he's a consideration for Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. That's how you tank. All right. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you also, a big takeaway from me, this quarterback
Speaker 1: Merry go Round is gonna be very interesting in the
Speaker 1: off season. Okay, add Now Derek Carr potentially, Okay, they've
Speaker 1: been talking about he. They may be in the market
Speaker 1: four quarterback add Jamis potentially. Okay, we're here. Oh, they're
Speaker 1: gonna franchise tag him before the game on Saturday. Then
Speaker 1: Bruce arians after the game saying, now I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. We may be in the marketplace.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna do it one day. We'll do
Speaker 1: a full on thing one day of like all the teams,
Speaker 1: all the musical chair stops, and all the potential quarterbacks
Speaker 1: they may be out there. It's gonna be very interesting.
Speaker 1: Same with head coaches. And I also one of my
Speaker 1: big takeaways, you know, I was talking with Ariel Epstein,
Speaker 1: our homegirl who you guys see on a lot of shows.
Speaker 1: Now we do Put Football Today together. She's on the
Speaker 1: Morning After as well. Um, we were talking on Saturday
Speaker 1: because she was wondering about them putting Daniel Jones back
Speaker 1: out there, and I was like, no, you gotta get
Speaker 1: him the reps. And she was like, well, what about
Speaker 1: the injury concerned? What if he gets hurt? And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, but the only thing you'd be risk
Speaker 1: is if he has a really bad injury, and then
Speaker 1: what do you know, rookie Kyler Murray gets hurt, pulled
Speaker 1: a hamstring. It's not the bad injury though. And then
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins, though, gets carded off the field with an
Speaker 1: ankle injury. And that's a problem, right, And it's always
Speaker 1: we talked about this in preseason, like are you gonna
Speaker 1: get hurts? Why should they be out there? Same kind
Speaker 1: of thing. Now do they learn? Do they get better?
Speaker 1: Remember Baker at the end of the year last year,
Speaker 1: Remember uh Sam Donald at the end of the year
Speaker 1: last year, or you know, or should a guy like
Speaker 1: Haskins not be out there right now? A guy like
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes, a guy like Kyler Murray? Should they not
Speaker 1: be out there right now? And that's something that's interesting.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear a lot about that going into this
Speaker 1: week as people are getting shut down or rested. So
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. Let's talk about some things that
Speaker 1: Speed's got right. Okay, and let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: The number one thing that I got right, and I've
Speaker 1: been talking about this for the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and now, Sandro, if you're down there in the pit, Yang,
Speaker 1: if you're down there there in the pit. Remember that
Speaker 1: I've been saying this, because you're gonna start to hear
Speaker 1: more and more people talk about this. I was early
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, telling y'all look out for
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs defense, all right. I was saying
Speaker 1: that their defense has been playing a lot better. Everybody's
Speaker 1: on Baltimore. Everyone knows about the Chiefs offense. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that the Kansas City defense is what makes them live
Speaker 1: in the a f C. They are still plus seven
Speaker 1: fifty elect eight to one odds to win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I am listen, I'm not on New England. Everybody
Speaker 1: is on Baltimore. So the pivot for me is Kansas
Speaker 1: City and Mahomes is getting healthier and that defense is
Speaker 1: getting better and better. They gave up three points at
Speaker 1: Chicago after a three points the follow the previous week
Speaker 1: against I believe it was Denver. They're averaging less than
Speaker 1: ten points a game against them in the last five
Speaker 1: or six weeks. Tyron Matthew the honey Badger. He don't
Speaker 1: give a damn. And I've been saying for the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. A Steve Spagnolo new defense takes a
Speaker 1: while to get the arn't okay, and now they're doing
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm telling you this Chief's defense, if it
Speaker 1: continues to improve, makes them very dangerous. I've been telling
Speaker 1: you about that. I got that one right. I hope
Speaker 1: you are listening to me about this another thing that
Speaker 1: Speed's got right. I told you about the Eagles. First
Speaker 1: of all, I had the Eagles winning that game. I've
Speaker 1: been telling you for weeks that I thought the Eagles
Speaker 1: would still win the a F NFC East, mostly because
Speaker 1: of the schedule, and then that this game yesterday was
Speaker 1: at Philly and that did matter. Okay, But I've been
Speaker 1: saying with the Eagles and a ton of teams, Okay,
Speaker 1: what has been my narrative almost all season. If you're
Speaker 1: real deal stats over beat Cipher, it's the idea about
Speaker 1: how the run game must be there to provide balance
Speaker 1: because you don't want your quarterback turning into a volume thrower. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool for fantasy if you have Philip Rivers or
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan or Jared Goff or Carson Wentz, one of
Speaker 1: these guys who might put it up forty five times
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, But that doesn't help the real team. Well,
Speaker 1: the Eagles have found balance. And remember how I said,
Speaker 1: I thought, Jordan, how it was that balance. And then
Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of weeks, I
Speaker 1: was like, listen, Miles Sanders is great and all right,
Speaker 1: and I said, Miles Sanders was getting more and more
Speaker 1: in the receiving game. But then over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, I had Miles Sanders in my DFS lineup
Speaker 1: and I was like, Miles Sanders, if he can provide balance,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be big for the Philadelphia Eagles. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you know, Speed's got that right, Okay, because
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders got twenty carries and it's about the touches.
Speaker 1: It's about the commitment to the run game. Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: twenty nine carries, seventy twenty carries seventy nine yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown, another five catches in seventy seven yards in
Speaker 1: the receiving game. Okay, a total of a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifties six yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on twenty
Speaker 1: five touches. That is giving you balance. Now, what happens
Speaker 1: even though Eagles only scored seventeen points, Look what happens whence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he puts it up a lot, but a seventy six
Speaker 1: percent completion percentage when he goes thirty one forty. And
Speaker 1: you need that run threat, especially guys like Earth's and Godard.
Speaker 1: You need those linebackers respecting the run, whether it's Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders or Jordan Howard. I told you all about how
Speaker 1: he represented this balance for the Eagles and how that
Speaker 1: was going to be important, and what do you know,
Speaker 1: they win a big NFC's divisional slate and pull into
Speaker 1: the driver's seat for the NFC's divisional title over the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Another defense I told you about was the Indianapolis Colts
Speaker 1: last week. I said, I like the Colts defense potentially
Speaker 1: as a stream I was giving you guys those in
Speaker 1: the waiver wires, and if you picked them up and
Speaker 1: faded Will Greer, well, not only did you get three
Speaker 1: interceptions from Will Greer, not only did you get five
Speaker 1: sacks by that Colt defense, but you got not one,
Speaker 1: but two hunt returns for our touchdowns from Nahem Hinds.
Speaker 1: If you listen to your boys speeds and you picked
Speaker 1: up the Indianapolis Colts as a streaming defensive defense, I
Speaker 1: told you I had a time you could have gotten
Speaker 1: You probably won your championship matchup, but it wasn't all smiles. Okay,
Speaker 1: I must admit Speeds got some things wrong. We will
Speaker 1: acknowledge what I got wrong. We'll check in on the pole.
Speaker 1: And for those of y'all who need to play a
Speaker 1: little bit of Week seventeen, if you got banged out
Speaker 1: and a lot of people did get hurt, whether it
Speaker 1: was Connor or Urts or d J. Moore, at every position,
Speaker 1: there were people that got banged out, So I will
Speaker 1: help you. Okay, what we got wrong? And then we
Speaker 1: looked at the wave of wire. When we come back,
Speaker 1: it's the other side of fantasy Freestyle. Your calls as well.

Speaker 1: so we'll do that in the next segment as well.
Speaker 1: In the chat room, Dexter is trying to rally everybody
Speaker 1: in the chat room to need Mike boone tonight. He
Speaker 1: needs about fifteen points for him to win his league
Speaker 1: and win that cash snore kele Ops Um, very good
Speaker 1: questions Snoops asking me what about because I did say this,
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard does look like his trending back for a
Speaker 1: game against the Giants here weeks seventeen. Jordan Howard because
Speaker 1: is the early down back, all right, Jordan Howard is
Speaker 1: the between the tackles early down back. Remember, earlier in
Speaker 1: the season, Miles Sanders was more of a PPR guy.
Speaker 1: Now Miles Sanders will get some carries too, but Jordan
Speaker 1: Howard takes his role back in my opinion, of being
Speaker 1: the early down between the tackles runner for the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: and they may need them against the New York Giants
Speaker 1: because that Giants offense will score some points gainst Philadelphia
Speaker 1: on Sunday. All right, but Speed's got some things wrong.
Speaker 1: Got to admit it, got to acknowledge it. The first
Speaker 1: thing is, every time we've been talking about coaches that
Speaker 1: I think are gonna get fired, I've included Atlanta's dan Quinn.
Speaker 1: And Atlanta is now won three games in a row.
Speaker 1: They've put it into my eye a little bit. I
Speaker 1: thought that they were kind of unraveling. Remember I was
Speaker 1: on Atlanta early in the season. Early in the season
Speaker 1: when I was on their thirteen home games, and I
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna take a step forward. I was
Speaker 1: on Atlanta to be, you know, a playoff team. Um,
Speaker 1: and then they started off really bad. It started to unravel.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan got banged up, Freeman got banged up, and
Speaker 1: then I thought dan Quinn was gonna lose his job.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of smoke out there about that.
Speaker 1: They've been playing for him. Okay, they've won three in
Speaker 1: a row. Remember they had that big time come from
Speaker 1: behind win against at San Francisco and then they beat
Speaker 1: Jacksonville yesterday. What was it though, And my narrative stage true.
Speaker 1: The balance was back twenty carries combined from Hill and
Speaker 1: Freeman a hundred and nineteen yards. They had the balance.
Speaker 1: So Matt Ryan, yea, he puts it up, but he
Speaker 1: completes over sevent of him. That's what happens when you
Speaker 1: have balanced. Julio another big time game, ten catches for
Speaker 1: one sixties six. I got that one wrong. They may
Speaker 1: be playing for dan Quinn. They may care about him
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I thought. Maybe he wasn't
Speaker 1: dead man walking. Also, here's another thing, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought that Saints offense was not going to be as
Speaker 1: good outdoors against Tennessee on the grass, but they put
Speaker 1: it on me. I mean, breeze that his thing. Kamara,
Speaker 1: finally a little bit out of mothballs, had seventeen touches
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten yards from scrimmage. Maybe with Camara
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what we've been talking about with
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, and they're kind of doing the load management,
Speaker 1: and they're saving him a little bit because they do
Speaker 1: have designs on playing multiple games in January. Okay, so
Speaker 1: maybe they're just starting to get him going. But Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas is the story right now. A hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five catches on the season, eight yards, nine touchdowns. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'm gonna give you a couple of
Speaker 1: other stats, and I think are absolutely ridiculous. He has
Speaker 1: his hundred forty five catches on a hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: six targets. That's eight two completion rate. Drew Brees is
Speaker 1: completing eighty two percent of the balls he throws to
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. Excuse me, Drew Brees and Teddy Bridgewater and
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill or whoever else is throwing him the damn ball,
Speaker 1: and he's averaging eleven point six yards per reception. So
Speaker 1: let me say this again. What that means is, if
Speaker 1: the Saints decide to throw the ball to Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: it is an eighty two percent proposition that he will
Speaker 1: catch a general average eleven and a half yards. You
Speaker 1: throw it to Michael Thomas three times, you get a
Speaker 1: first down. You know, it's absolutely crazy. And here's another
Speaker 1: ridiculous stat from what Michael Thomas is doing. To remember,
Speaker 1: here's the records for the most catches all time in
Speaker 1: the first five years of a career. Jarvis Landry has
Speaker 1: the record foe catches in the first five years of
Speaker 1: his career. Larry Fitzgerald for Tory Holt for three, A. J.
Speaker 1: Green for fifteen, Julio for fourteen, Randy Moss for fourteen.
Speaker 1: Some pretty good names, right. Remember I said Jarvis Landry
Speaker 1: was first at four av one, Larry Fitzgerald was second
Speaker 1: at four six. Larry Fitzgerald is not second. Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: is already second with four sixty six. But I said
Speaker 1: this was the first five seasons. Michael Thomas has one
Speaker 1: game left of his fourth season, okay, and he may
Speaker 1: with another, you know, normal game for him catch another
Speaker 1: what fourteen balls tie Jarvis Landry for the most of
Speaker 1: all time for five seasons in his fourth season. I
Speaker 1: think it's absolutely ridiculous. Uh, This Saints offense can do
Speaker 1: whatever it wants. It scored forty some odd points against
Speaker 1: the San Francisco defense. It's gone outside. This team is
Speaker 1: going to be very tough to beat. And they got
Speaker 1: the inside track for this game's in the end, see
Speaker 1: going through the Dome just like it did last year.
Speaker 1: Look out for the New Orleans Saints right now. I
Speaker 1: may be on a sneaky Saints Chief super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: might have to look at see what those odds are
Speaker 1: for New Orleans Kansas City super Bowl. I may have
Speaker 1: to bet that, all right, Um, And the last thing
Speaker 1: that I got wrong that I gotta tell you, remember
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, I've been saying how Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: probably has a note. How I've been saying I wanted
Speaker 1: to get ahead of it and said that I want
Speaker 1: the number one wild card team to win at the
Speaker 1: NFC East to four seed the NFC East Division champ
Speaker 1: in wild Card weekend. I don't know if I want
Speaker 1: that anymore, not as a futures bet, because I'm on
Speaker 1: this Philly team. And I told you about Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: I told you about Jordan Howard. We see the revelation
Speaker 1: of Sanders. I don't care if Earth has a broken
Speaker 1: rib or not. We'll see. We'll learn more about Earth's
Speaker 1: and his ribs this week. God are coming back, they
Speaker 1: say to Shawn Jackson, may even come back. Okay, but
Speaker 1: what if it's Seattle. Seattle may wind up be in
Speaker 1: that five seat. I'm worried about this running back position.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the sensive line injuries. Let's say San
Speaker 1: Francisco beats them next week and Seattle is the five seed,
Speaker 1: they would travel to Philadelphia. Well, guess what a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago they traveled to Philadelphia and they won
Speaker 1: nineteen to seven in a very close game. Right, But
Speaker 1: this would be a team now with the Eagles that
Speaker 1: would be getting more healthy, the Seahawks getting less healthy.
Speaker 1: And to continue what I'm saying is my narrative the
Speaker 1: entire time. Remember volume throwing. What would happen in those
Speaker 1: teams if Carson Wentz did not have to become a
Speaker 1: volume thrower, could complete seventies scent of his balls. And
Speaker 1: what if Russell Wilson, because of no run game and
Speaker 1: no balance, does have to become a volume thrower. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm saying Eagles could win this or
Speaker 1: that they'll even we who knows, they may not even
Speaker 1: win the division. But I'm saying, you don't want to
Speaker 1: get ahead of yourself anymore. I'm causing I'm pausing all
Speaker 1: of that because I think the Eagles may have found something. Now,
Speaker 1: could they go ahead and defecate the mattress against the
Speaker 1: Giants on Sunday? They could? Will the Cowboys beat Washington?
Speaker 1: I think so, even though case Keenum under center maybe
Speaker 1: better than Dwayne Haskins. Will see. But I like some
Speaker 1: of the things we're seeing with these Philadelphia Eagles. But
Speaker 1: for those of you, you know, I said, if you
Speaker 1: want to call, and by the way, guys, the number
Speaker 1: of call is eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. Will put it in the chat room.
Speaker 1: The number to call is eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six eight seven nine. Yeah, Danny Lee, I'm leaning
Speaker 1: now towards a little bit of a Saints Chiefs, alright,
Speaker 1: Saints and Chiefs, And I'm gonna get the number for that.
Speaker 1: I think it's plus twelve hundred. I think it's a
Speaker 1: twelve to one odds right now for Saints Chiefs. And
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by that. Danny h undisclosed location, Danny Lee. Um,
Speaker 1: So the number call again is eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six eight seven nine. And if you want
Speaker 1: to call just to gloat, I'm okay with that. Okay,
Speaker 1: Because fantasy football, you work hard for four months sometimes
Speaker 1: longer in dynasty leagues and key believes, and it call
Speaker 1: came to fruition like over the weekend, last Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: and maybe tonight. So if you want to go right ahead,
Speaker 1: there you go. We got Ray Ramirez in there, we
Speaker 1: got untouchable j in there. But if you want to gloat,
Speaker 1: you'd only be joining your boys. Beedes, the spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: I told you about these finals that I was in,
Speaker 1: and there was one that you know, I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be cool because I need to add speeds.
Speaker 1: I need to represent the entire stats over Beat Cipher. Right,
Speaker 1: So I was in the G S T League, you know,
Speaker 1: Expert Industry League. A lot of people know about it.
Speaker 1: People in the chat room know about it. Everybody for
Speaker 1: uh uh, from Billy Hayes to last year. Remember John
Speaker 1: Ross was in there, no doubt. Dexter, thanks for all
Speaker 1: that I do. Thank you Dexter in the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher for sure. All right, Um, oh okay, Francisco
Speaker 1: g you're gonna call. You're gonna call it on Thursday.
Speaker 1: That's what's up. But um you can call it all right,
Speaker 1: call to gloat. We'll do a whole segment to gloat
Speaker 1: all right on Thursday. But here's the deal, uh, Metal Matt,
Speaker 1: put up the GSC one where says speed Cipher that matchup.
Speaker 1: Put it up there it is. There's your championship against
Speaker 1: Mr Adam Roynas. As you can see, there are no
Speaker 1: people left to play on either side, and your boys,
Speaker 1: Speeds the Spitting Statistician took down Adam Roynas for the
Speaker 1: championship of the famed Grenned Street Tavern League. You can
Speaker 1: take that down. So what you know what that means, people,
Speaker 1: is that means that your boy Speeds the Spitting Statistician,
Speaker 1: stable genius and vocal minority just one that league and
Speaker 1: one net cash. And that was a cool couple of
Speaker 1: grand guys. We got some gees coming my way, all right,
Speaker 1: So thank you. Uh so, if you want to call
Speaker 1: the gloat, it's okay. You wouldn't be alone. I'm gloating
Speaker 1: as well. It's absolutely okay. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: people out there to shout out to me. Thank you
Speaker 1: to everybody. Now let's put up the other one, which
Speaker 1: is very very interesting, Metal Matt, because this people, this
Speaker 1: is the final right now as it stands for the
Speaker 1: stats over beats League championship. All right, John G, who
Speaker 1: everybody knows Tampa pick six has been dominant, was in
Speaker 1: first place. All right, it's down by point five, okay
Speaker 1: to the Crypto Toker, who was a great team all year.
Speaker 1: Everyone knew about the John G and Jilly Dilley who
Speaker 1: was in second place, but the Crypto Toker was a
Speaker 1: strong third place team all year long. Is up by
Speaker 1: half a point and both teams have their quarterback going
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins. Who
Speaker 1: do y'all think of win that matchup? You could take
Speaker 1: that off. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 1: All right, I think it's going to be very interesting.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that will profile Monday Night Football and
Speaker 1: anybody who wants to talk to the Spin Statistician. Phone
Speaker 1: lines are open hot at your Boy, but its episode
Speaker 1: four hundred twenty seven, Billy Dilly, come on back on
Speaker 1: sports Gride. Get on the grid, guys. NFL season is
Speaker 1: in elf hadda, so you can be on the eighth
Speaker 1: person a wain one million dollars in a Fanueler Draft
Speaker 1: Kings tournament. My ain't their lineup using the Daily Order
Speaker 1: dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing Dailey
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com, you're
Speaker 1: doing They're all sign them now for the NFL Access
Speaker 1: with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results
Speaker 1: into promo Code action first ten percent discount. And that's
Speaker 1: promo Code Action, first ten percent discount, jailor Order dot
Speaker 1: com where millionaires are made. There. It is let the
Speaker 1: be drop their little outcast, little bombs over bad Dad
Speaker 1: as we come back, episode four hundred twenty seven of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports Grid. I see
Speaker 1: the caller. We're gonna get to the caller on a
Speaker 1: hot second. Anybody else who wants to get down, just
Speaker 1: hold tight. It is a special call in fact, to
Speaker 1: be quite honest, But I do want to get out there.
Speaker 1: If anybody is playing Week seventeen. Some waiver wire things
Speaker 1: that you can add. Some guys that are out there
Speaker 1: right now at the running back position. Gus Edwards is
Speaker 1: a guy I'd be interested in. Okay, you already know
Speaker 1: mark Ingram went down. You already know the starters weren't playing.
Speaker 1: But this Baltimore Ravens run offense. They're plugging play. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take whoever's out there for Baltimore against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is only owned in ten percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: If you want that, if they go ahead and sign
Speaker 1: Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch in Seattle, that's viable as well.
Speaker 1: And then you gotta look at other spots where they
Speaker 1: may be like shutting guys down, you know, like that
Speaker 1: Indian that colts Jags game, for example, or in Detroit
Speaker 1: where carry on our guy, carry on, Johnson, carry on.
Speaker 1: You know, they may be getting more of a workload
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. I would go to Greg
Speaker 1: Ward at this point, he's only nine percent owned. If
Speaker 1: you lost somebody that you need and you need, like
Speaker 1: DJ Moore went down for you or something like that,
Speaker 1: and you're in a where a two week final, Greg
Speaker 1: Ward at this point, you gotta go. You gotta go
Speaker 1: to He's been good in his fill in duty for
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and the same thing for tight end. Go to
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard people, he's fifty owned. He's at this point.
Speaker 1: I mean he had twelve targets yesterday, nine for nine
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. I mean, come on people. Um, that's
Speaker 1: where I would go if I were you, guys, if
Speaker 1: you still needed some if you needed specific guys, if
Speaker 1: you're in a situation like that. I know not a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't play Week seventeen or your rosters
Speaker 1: are locked, But listen, I'm trying to cater to everybody
Speaker 1: all different formats here. So if you do when you're
Speaker 1: in a in a bind, feel free to hollow at
Speaker 1: your boy eight for four, four, three, six, seven nine.
Speaker 1: We have, however, one of the finalists and stats over
Speaker 1: beats League. It sounds like we got on the line
Speaker 1: right now, Yang right, we got Christian. It sounds like Christian,
Speaker 1: you're on the line. Uh, what's going on? Christian? Uh?
Speaker 1: How do you feel tonight? It looks like I think
Speaker 1: you have Rogers. You're up by half a point, but
Speaker 1: you're facing Kirk Cousins. It's gonna be a tight one.
Speaker 1: How you feeling, Christian? Oh? Alright, alright, you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna wind up winning this one? I mean this is
Speaker 1: a tight one because I could see this going either way. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I know you got a half a point lead, right,
Speaker 1: but it couldn't go either way. It's like, what fifty
Speaker 1: fifty pretty much, right, Chris, dude, it is today. I
Speaker 1: can't believe it came down. I know it's when I
Speaker 1: was looking at a Christian it was so hysterical and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wait, and they'll both have quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And then he had um John g R Boy Tampa
Speaker 1: pick six. He had Tyreek Hill last night right because
Speaker 1: you were up on him. But then he had Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill Monday last night to kind of catch up and
Speaker 1: got right to even with you. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bond burner. Let me ask you this, Christian, and
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Would you do this? And sometimes
Speaker 1: I do like the hedge bet. Okay, so you have
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, right, would you consider doing this Christian betting
Speaker 1: like the prop bets all on the unders of Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: like betting that he won't throw a touchdown, betting that
Speaker 1: he'll throw under whatever his prop bet is for yards,
Speaker 1: betting that he'll throw interceptions. This way, if Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: defecates the mattress and you don't win the Status over
Speaker 1: Beat league, at least you win a little bit of
Speaker 1: cash on the side for your prop bets. And if
Speaker 1: your prop bets lose. That means Aaron rod just had
Speaker 1: a good game and you probably are the first ever
Speaker 1: champion of the Stats over Beats League. Would you ever
Speaker 1: do that bet against your guy to win a little
Speaker 1: bit of extra sidecash? Uh, that's the negative. All right,
Speaker 1: You're gonna go all in. You're gonna go all in
Speaker 1: with your boy to win the first stever Stats over
Speaker 1: Beats League. Well, listen, you've been a very good team
Speaker 1: all season long. You in third place, humming along, and
Speaker 1: we'll see if if Aaron Rodgers delivers it for you.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Christian, I will say this. I'm
Speaker 1: on green Bay to win this game. I'm on Green
Speaker 1: Bay to win this game. I am on Green Bay
Speaker 1: to win this game. I think they are a better team,
Speaker 1: especially without the running game. Listen, I'll talk to you,
Speaker 1: but I'll talk about it a little bit at the
Speaker 1: end of this segment. But I am on green Bay
Speaker 1: to win this game. Give a shout out to anybody
Speaker 1: in the cipher you want to give a shout out,
Speaker 1: Say happy Holidays to anybody. Uh, you you're here. You
Speaker 1: are a potential champion of the first stever Stats over
Speaker 1: Beats League. So anybody you want to shout out there, Christian, Yes, man,
Speaker 1: I would I would love to give a set out
Speaker 1: to the Sullivan my boys, Danny Ray Angel, yeah, Ricky,
Speaker 1: and I want to give a special thanks to my
Speaker 1: mom my girl for sure, but to shout out to
Speaker 1: Elvin Mendoilly down number. Yeah dude, Yeah, we're a little
Speaker 1: cars and there was special Thank you for telling this absolutely,

Speaker 1: that venmore that PayPal account later on this week and
Speaker 1: we'll absolutely for sure and we'll absolutely work to have
Speaker 1: everybody who was in here back next year. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, Christian, and thanks again obviously to the stats
Speaker 1: over beat cipher right it's the holiday season, he shouted
Speaker 1: out everybody. Thanks again, thanks for the call, Christian. Also
Speaker 1: want to tell everybody um in the pit league remember
Speaker 1: our staff league where I was in the semifinals and
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a weird reseeing that
Speaker 1: went on. Our man, e Y, Eric Young is gonna
Speaker 1: take it down. Okay, he beat George Kurtz in the final.
Speaker 1: Our guy, George Kurtz put it on him. E Y
Speaker 1: with a huge year had a great year when nine
Speaker 1: and four was tied for first all season long, and
Speaker 1: then stomped people in the playoffs, beat me in the semifinals,
Speaker 1: put up a big number against me, and put up
Speaker 1: another big number against George Kurtz. He was the best
Speaker 1: team over the last month. So we tip our cap
Speaker 1: to e Y the Soul Crush Express. George Kurtz was
Speaker 1: second in that league. I was playing Jim Day third.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys about this. I want
Speaker 1: to ask you guys about this. I was playing Jim
Speaker 1: Day and after the four o'clock games yesterday, I still
Speaker 1: had one player left to go, and Jim Day was done.
Speaker 1: He was done. I had one player left to go
Speaker 1: and he was beating me by one ain't eight points, okay,
Speaker 1: But the one player I still had left was the
Speaker 1: Kansas City defense, and so I needed two points out
Speaker 1: of the defense. You only get whole points from the defense, right,
Speaker 1: So I needed two points. My other defense was Buffalo,
Speaker 1: who had gotten two points. You know. Like I felt
Speaker 1: good about it, but then Jim Day hits me up
Speaker 1: on Twitter being like, Yo, congrats for your victory against me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, who wha wha wha, whoa, I've
Speaker 1: be't beating you yet because defense is can't even score
Speaker 1: negative points. He was like, l O, well you'd have
Speaker 1: to score. I was like, na, no, no, I need
Speaker 1: to I need two points to beat you. I love
Speaker 1: Jim Day, but I thought he was putting a like
Speaker 1: reverse psychology guy boss on me man, And I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: I can't be responding to this. How do you guys
Speaker 1: feel about that? In the chat room? Let me know,
Speaker 1: because I was like, yo, I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: trying to like mess with my mojo or something like that.
Speaker 1: He told me that I had already beaten him, but
Speaker 1: I hadn't you know what I mean? And then um,
Speaker 1: ultimately still, yes, the Kansas City defense did enough. I
Speaker 1: did wind up winning. So that's another league where I
Speaker 1: when I'm getting a little bit of cash in the
Speaker 1: prize money, bronze medal in that league we did all right,
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about this game. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: this game. Tom pierces in the chat room saying Green
Speaker 1: Bay running backs will go off all right? Um oh,
Speaker 1: untouchable Jay said, so the bench of those teams of
Speaker 1: which teams of my uh my gs t league. I
Speaker 1: had Danny Dimes on the bench yesterday I had I
Speaker 1: had a Raheem Mostert on my bench in my championship
Speaker 1: winning team. But in any event, I digress. UM. So
Speaker 1: thanks and much love to Jim day e Y, George
Speaker 1: Kurtz and everybody in the pitam Misery League. But by
Speaker 1: the way, that's me play Yang because Yang always like
Speaker 1: to talk that smack early on in the season. You know,
Speaker 1: Yango talk smack to me. Fantasy baseball. I'm beating you.
Speaker 1: I'm beating you. Then it comes to the playoffs. I'm man,
Speaker 1: he's not fantasy football. Yo, what's up? I'm ahead of you.
Speaker 1: You're not doing too good. Come to the playoffs. He's like,
Speaker 1: oh I fell off here. I am getting money out
Speaker 1: the league. But I digress. Monday Night Football UM Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings host in Green Bay Packers. They are four and
Speaker 1: a half point favorites. As of now, it looks like, yep,
Speaker 1: still four and a half. It opened the five and
Speaker 1: a half. Okay, so there's money coming in on Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a reaction to the UM the Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: and it is now official. Alexander Madison is inactive for
Speaker 1: this game as well, the total is hovering around for
Speaker 1: is that forty six and a half? All right? Remember
Speaker 1: we've been talking about these divisional unders, these primetime unders
Speaker 1: a lot. I think this game might lean that way
Speaker 1: as well. I take you back. My narrative all year
Speaker 1: and for this show has been balanced, and that the
Speaker 1: team that has balance will be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: still be able to be efficient throwing the ball. And
Speaker 1: if you lose your balance, if you're not able to
Speaker 1: run the ball, it's gonna be a problem. All right.
Speaker 1: And so my leading thing here is I don't know
Speaker 1: if Minnesota's gonna be able to have the balance that
Speaker 1: they've enjoyed all season. Law, Dalvin Cook is the top
Speaker 1: five rusher in the NFL. Okay, I take you back
Speaker 1: to Week two when these guys played last time around. Okay,
Speaker 1: green Bay won that game. Um, green Bay won that
Speaker 1: game sixteen. So green Bay won that game by five.
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook went berserk in that game. In Week two,
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook had twenty carries for a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: four yards and a touchdown. He also cut three balls
Speaker 1: for another thirty seven yards. Dalvin Cook had a hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety one scrimmage yards in that game. Okay, Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison went four for five in that game, so the
Speaker 1: running backs had you know, over two hundred scrimmage yards.
Speaker 1: I'd say that was balance. Okay, they still lost that
Speaker 1: game the Green Bay I'm worried. Everyone loves Mike Boone
Speaker 1: and in the chat room, you know, uh, Dexter needs
Speaker 1: fifteen points and he may get points. But the question is,
Speaker 1: remember what happens for the real team and the fantasy
Speaker 1: team of two separate things. I say it all the
Speaker 1: time with volume throwing. I say it all the time
Speaker 1: with target share the fantasy heard and I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: it was providing balance at the running back. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know that Boone is gonna be able to
Speaker 1: provide the balance. And the way you want to do it.
Speaker 1: You want to run against Green Bay. You don't want
Speaker 1: to necessarily throw. And I know that Zimmer. I heard
Speaker 1: Gabe say that he's got the best all time record
Speaker 1: against the spread, and that's all well and good. I
Speaker 1: know Minnesota is a much better team at home. I
Speaker 1: know their defense is a better defense at home. This
Speaker 1: game will be at home, unlike the first game Week
Speaker 1: two in Green Bay. I know all of that, I
Speaker 1: also know that I don't trust Kirk Cousins in prime
Speaker 1: time spots or in big spots. I also know that
Speaker 1: I trust Aaron Rodgers to rip out the heart and
Speaker 1: soul of his division opponents. And I also think that
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings may lack some of the balance in
Speaker 1: the run game that they've had in the previous weeks.
Speaker 1: I am weary that Kirk Cousins may have to become
Speaker 1: a volume thrower, and if that is the case, I
Speaker 1: don't think that is a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: So for this game, I lean with it at four
Speaker 1: and a half points to five or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: I lean to the points, and the Green Bay side
Speaker 1: give me Green Bay plus two points in this game.
Speaker 1: I also lean under in this game. I think both
Speaker 1: teams are going to try to establish the run. They're
Speaker 1: going to try to have that balance. They're going to
Speaker 1: try to keep Davante Adams and Adam DeLand and Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs and the throwing attacks, and unfortunately the Crypto Tooker
Speaker 1: and the Tampa Picks six is quarterbacks from their passing
Speaker 1: yards that they need. I think the running game is
Speaker 1: going to try to be the leading indicator, but unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be effective for the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: and I think Kirk Cousins will become a volume thrower.
Speaker 1: The prop bet that I saw was Kirk Cousins thirty
Speaker 1: one and half attempts. That is too low to me.
Speaker 1: I think they're going to half to the throw because
Speaker 1: the Packers, I think are going to get up to
Speaker 1: stop Mike Boone, Amira Bulah, c J Ham or whoever
Speaker 1: it is. And then I think Cousins is gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw. I like Green Bay to win the NFC North.
Speaker 1: I like them to win this game. Take it plus
Speaker 1: the four and a half or five, and my prop bit,
Speaker 1: I think Cousins becomes a volume thrower because Boone can't
Speaker 1: provide the balance over thirty one and a half attempts
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. My man Scott Wetzel's coming in next.
Speaker 1: We got in game live Gabe Morancy at the meadow
Speaker 1: Lands and listen, I know people are gonna win their
Speaker 1: fantasy championship based on what happens tonight if it's Mike
Speaker 1: Boone and in our league we got her Cousins and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going head to head with only a half
Speaker 1: of points separating them untouchable j My leading prop is
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins over thirty one and a half attempts. I
Speaker 1: like Aaron Jones as well to get into the end
Speaker 1: zone anytime touchdown. I'll be back on Thursday if you
Speaker 1: want to call and gloat like your boys Speeds who
Speaker 1: took down industry leagues. How does it feel? Honest? You know?
Speaker 1: I love you alright? In Game Live is up next
Speaker 1: year on Sports Grid. We'll be back on Thursday to
Speaker 1: all the craziness for weeks seventeen. I'm out. NFL season
Speaker 1: is now upon us, so you can be going the
Speaker 1: eighth person a wain one million dollars in a Fandueler
Speaker 1: Draft Kings tournament. My setinger lineup using the Daily Order
Speaker 1: dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing daily
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com, you're
Speaker 1: doing it wrong. Sign him now for the NFL Access
Speaker 1: with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results.

Speaker 1: fifty freestyle Tedwards, he's got would be interested in. Okay,
Speaker 1: you already know mark Ingram went down. You know already
Speaker 1: know the starters weren't playing. But this Baltimore Ravens run offense,
Speaker 1: they're plugging play. Okay, I'll take whoever's out there for
Speaker 1: Baltimore against Pittsburgh on Sunday. Gust Edwards is only owned
Speaker 1: in ten percent of leagues. If you want that, if
Speaker 1: they go ahead and sign Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch in Seattle,
Speaker 1: that's viable as well. And then you gotta look at
Speaker 1: other spots where they may be like shutting guys down,
Speaker 1: you know, like that Indian that colts Jags game, for example,
Speaker 1: or in Detroit where carry on our gout, carry on, Johnson,
Speaker 1: carry on. On. You know, they may be getting more
Speaker 1: of a workload at the wide receiver position. I would
Speaker 1: go to Greg Ward at this point, he's only nine
Speaker 1: percent owned. If you lost somebody that you need and
Speaker 1: you need like DJ Moore went down for you or
Speaker 1: something like that, and you're in a where a two
Speaker 1: week final Greg Ward at this point, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: You gotta go to He's been good in his fill
Speaker 1: in duty for Philadelphia and the same thing for tight End.
Speaker 1: Go to Dallas Goddard people, he's fifty owned, he's at
Speaker 1: this point. I mean he had twelve targets yesterday, nine
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. I mean, come on, people, Um, that's
Speaker 1: where I would go if I with you, guys, if
Speaker 1: you still needed some if you needed specific guys, if
Speaker 1: you're in a situation like that, I know not a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't play week seventeen or your rosters
Speaker 1: are locked, But listen, I'm trying to cater to everybody
Speaker 1: all different formats here. So if you do, when you're
Speaker 1: in a in a bind, feel free to hollow at
Speaker 1: your boy for six seven nine. We have, however, one
Speaker 1: of the finalists and stats over beats League. It sounds
Speaker 1: like we got on the line right now, Yang right,
Speaker 1: we got Christian. It sounds like Christian, you're on the line.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Christian? Uh? How do you feel tonight?
Speaker 1: It looks like I think you have Rogers. You're up
Speaker 1: by half a point, but you're facing Kirk Cousins. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tight one. How you feel like? Christian? Alright? Alright?
Speaker 1: You think you're gonna wind up winning this one. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a tight one because I could see this
Speaker 1: going either way. Honestly, I know you got a half
Speaker 1: a point lead, right, but it couldn't go either way.
Speaker 1: It's like what pretty much right, Chris, dude? It is.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it came down. I know it. When
Speaker 1: I was looking at it, Christian, it was so hysterical
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh wait, and they'll both have quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And then he had um John g your boy timp
Speaker 1: pick six. He had Tyreek Hill last night right because
Speaker 1: you were up on him. But then he had Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill Monday last night to kind of catch up and
Speaker 1: got right to even with you. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bond burner. Let me ask you this, Christian, and
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Would you do this? And sometimes
Speaker 1: I do like the hedge bet? Okay, so you have
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, right, would you consider doing this Christian betting
Speaker 1: like the prop bets all on the unders of Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: like betting that he won't throw a touchdown, betting that
Speaker 1: he'll throw under whatever his prop bet is for yards,
Speaker 1: betting that he'll throw interceptions this way. If Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: defecates the mattress and you don't win the Stats over
Speaker 1: Beats League. At least you win a little bit of
Speaker 1: cash on the side for your prop bets. And if
Speaker 1: your prop bets lose, that means Aaron Rodgers had a
Speaker 1: good game and you probably are the first ever champion
Speaker 1: of the Stats over Beats League. Would you ever do
Speaker 1: that bet against your guy to win a little bit
Speaker 1: of extra sidecash. Be sure to follow all our social
