1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on Home 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. He's still music. 3 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: Where's there was coming from? Funky stuff? But so Ben Roethlisberger. 4 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: He has been the lightning rod, so to speak, for 5 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: the for this football team this year. Um, he was 6 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: very much a checkdown guy. Last year. Everything was short, short, short, 7 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: all those things. Would it surprise you just to learn 8 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: that going into this weekend he is third in the 9 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: NFL and completions of forty or more yards. M hmm. Interesting, 10 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: that surprises me. He has five? He has five this year. Well, 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: they take shots, and that goes back to last year. 12 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: They didn't hit the shots last year. Now he's hitting 13 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: some of the shots. But they did draw a lot 14 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: of offensive passing downfield too, So there's some hidden yard 15 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: is last year that carries over to this. Um, I 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: guess that doesn't shock me. I mean they've had a 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: couple lately right at the beginning of games, which was timely. Um, 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: it surprised me he's that high on the list though, 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Yeah, I mean third's pretty high. 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: The third's pretty high. Um. The nugget I came up 21 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: which which is similar is everyone bashes him for his 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: aid do his average stpth of target, which is justified, 23 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: especially going back to last year. But his last three weeks, 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: which is half of the season, it's it's been over 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: seven every week, which is high. And he's now not 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: in the cellar he's moving up to because each week 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: it's gone up, it's gone up, and he's pushing all 28 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: down the field a little bit more. You know, the 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: numbers were showing it. According to Pro Football Reference, his 30 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: percentage of bad throws, okay, his seventeen point seven okay, 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: so they call him uncatchables or something un catchable, are 32 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: just bad bad throws. That's better than Patrick Mahomes who's 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: at eighteen point four percent. That's better than Aaron Rodgers 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: who's at twenty one point one percent. That's better than 35 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady who's at eight team point nine percent. I mean, yeah, 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's been is like it was. 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: Everybody was bashing him throughout the offseason, bashed him the 38 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the season. He was not 39 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. That's not been the 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: case all season, and some of the quote unquote bad 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: throws that he's had this year have been because receivers 42 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: have not been on the same page with you know, 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: so it's there's some good and there's some bad. The 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: bad for him now he hasn't thrown an interception the 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: last two weeks. He's obviously throwing some balls that could 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: have been intercepting. That's interception lock. Happens to everybody. It's 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: no different than if a ball hits off of a 48 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: receiver's hands and bounces to it. Reading those balance out 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: over the course of the year generally go Yeah. The 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: problem that I have is he's fumbled five times. He's 51 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: lost a fumble in each of the last three games. 52 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that up because I don't enough. 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: And you often bring it up with quarterbacks as fumblers. Yeah, okay, 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: and some of those guys I just said, Daniel Jones, 55 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, they're always at the top of the list, 56 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: and there young and their runners, so I can justify 57 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: it a little bit more. And the Bills ran a 58 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: million snaps, so you're gonna have more fumbles. You know. 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: The bends are in the pocket. His pocket presence has 60 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: not been what you expect or the protecting of the football. Now, 61 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: maybe some of that's because you know the line. He's 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: getting hit more, at least he had been until the 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: last couple of um But the last couple of games 64 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: that he got hit once against the against the Seahawks, 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: I think he got hit three times a week before 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: against Denver and he still had fumbles in both of 67 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: those games. Now, the one last week against Seattle was 68 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: kind of flukey, but there was still It's happening. It 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: is happening. I don't have a great reason for it. 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big target, that doesn't He used 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: to be an oak tree where he was so hard 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: to get to the ground or get to the football, 73 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: and he would just shrug people off. I'mlike in many 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks I can ever remember, And he had good feet 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: tog out of the way to where he doesn't have 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: either one of those things to the same. You know, 77 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: he had that elbow surgery. Did that affect his grip 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: on the ball a little? That's what I was gonna say, 79 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: because we think too much that the last thing we're 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: talking about. My wife and I are in the same page, ever, 81 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: you and I are, because I was sitting there thinking 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: like Okay, that fumble last week might have been flukey, 83 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: But does it happen five years I've seen him make 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: that play a thousand thousand times. Does the ball come 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: out five years ago? I bet not. You know, big, 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: strong hands, grip strength, all those things has to suffer 87 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: with age and the elbow injury too. You know, does 88 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: he play the same way? Maybe only one hand on 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: the football where they coach it to me too, But 90 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: he's gotten away for forever, and now that thing pops 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: out one out of ten times or two out of 92 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: ten times, where last you know, it would have been 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: one out ten time for most of the problem then 94 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: becomes once once a quarterback gets that that reputation, then 95 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: then guys start going out. He used to be when 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: you try. You went after Roethlisberger, just get him on 97 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: the ground, whatever you gotta do to get him on 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: the ground. That was hard enough. And now you may 99 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: be coming inside. We're gonna strip the ball, he's gonna 100 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: give the ball up in the pocket. And Steelers and 101 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Watts are the best examples of us going That's become 102 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: a huge coaching point more than ever in the league. 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: But I bet once you get the rep I mean 104 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: just like a running back the fumbles, it takes like 105 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: three years to get rid of it. Yeah. Yeah, so 106 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: he's not. He does not gonna have three years. He 107 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: just needs to protective better. Yeah, but I I think 108 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm seeing him play better. I think so too. You know, 109 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: I think that you're starting to see some of the 110 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: things click. I know you look at Deante Johnson has 111 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: been He's catching six the past us throwing his way. 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: That's out. That's above average. His drops of ab sleeve 113 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: he isn't. He didn't have a draw right right. They've 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: dropped four team passes this year and he's dropped none. 115 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: There's one play that's pump. People might reference there was 116 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: an under thrown ball that maybe he could have caught. Yeah, 117 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: that's not a drop. I don't know. I mean, I'm 118 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: not the drop expert, but I wouldn't have called that 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: a drop. He didn't catch the one on the end 120 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: zone last week on the it was offside penalty, but 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: it was an offside penalty. Count doesn't count. Yeah. No, 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: but I've been by all accounts, he's been working with 123 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the tennis balls and he works like crazy at it. Yeah, 124 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean, and I always even said last year his drops. Well, 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: there's two factors. Well, one of them is an overriding 126 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: factor of the team. It's harder to catch the ball 127 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: close to the line of scrimmage than his downfield. Yeah, 128 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: you're getting he's getting more downfield this year. He's downfield 129 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: this year. So Steeler drops in general. Last year. We're 130 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: often near the line of scrimmage when a linebacker is 131 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: gonna hate you the teeth and the ball comes out 132 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: at a weird angle and it's just more more it's 133 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: a quick pass and you're trying to you're trying to 134 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: catch on your head around it comes out hot and 135 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: you get a corner bearing down on you and trying 136 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: to make that move right where he gets crowded. And 137 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: the other thing too with Johnson, and you probably have 138 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: the the a few of the stats, but you have 139 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: the I remember you saying it at the time. It 140 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: was like a three game stretch that all of it happened, 141 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: and it wasn't a recurring thing through his his college life, 142 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: his early Steeler life. He had a bad month, you know, 143 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: and I don't know he have a bad thumb that 144 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: we didn't know about. It just it gets in your 145 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: head a little bit question. Yeah, so, I mean he 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: had a bad month. I mean, is he could be 147 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the best hands catcher in the world. Probably not, but 148 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: it never worried me with him. Ebron's a drop guy 149 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: who he is? Yeah, actually nausea. Harris leads them and 150 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: drops with four Yeah, they were all probably at the 151 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: end of that one game. And that's that's one where 152 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: you know you're trying. He's a young guy trying to 153 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: catch the ball and go too quick. He doesn't want 154 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: him to drops big picture at all. I mean, I 155 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a strength of his. Yeah, I 156 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: think he'll make catches he shouldn't. Let's take a look 157 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: at this week's games. Um one o'clock on Sunday, Chiefs 158 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: at Titans, just a big one in the a f C. 159 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: If the Titans have a shot they against that Kansas 160 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: City defense. Absolutely the way the way that uh I mean, Henry, Henry. 161 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about this in the fantasy segment, 162 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: but I think I want a lot of fantasy action 163 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: in this one too. Tanne Hill is playing better. My 164 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: my thing with Tanny Hills. He makes one throw well, 165 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: and that's that play action. Throw it over the middle. 166 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: Day a J. Brown for twenty twenty yards down the field, 167 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: you hit him in stride and he makes something happen. 168 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: Out side of that, he's playing like garbage. He has 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: a good year, he absolutely has. I mean, Henry Henry 170 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: really should probably the m v P the league. I 171 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: mean all the quarters. They're not even two and four 172 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: at this point without Derrick Henry. No, I mean with 173 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: an average back Johnson last night or whatever. I mean, 174 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: they're they're mu sure they went any Their defense has 175 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: actually improved a little though they rushed the pastor Well 176 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Simmons looks like Buds starting around into some Their other guy, 177 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: that kid from Boston College I kind of like, is 178 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: playing well to He's been there for a while, so 179 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: their defense doesn't totally stink. You see far Leaf seasons 180 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: over to Man. They draft injury Brie, they draft high 181 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: risk dudes in the first round. I think they'll hang 182 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: with the Chief, so I think it'll be close. I 183 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: don't know that they'll win. I won't pick them away. 184 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: It'll take the points. But the over undernet games fifty 185 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: seven and a half, getting up right exactly for a 186 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: running team, for a team that wants to run the ball, 187 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm curious about A. J. Brown's prices in DFS because 188 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: still dealing with that stomach issue apparently. I know how 189 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: long is that. You never hear athletes that deal with 190 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: that for more than a day or two. He eating 191 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of chapolte are what's going on there? Uh? 192 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Big game in the a f C North Bengals four 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: and two at Ravens five and one. Baltimore's favored by 194 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: six and a half the over unders forty six and 195 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: a half. I think this is more about the Bengals 196 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: and the Ravens that are they ready to win or 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: even battle them till the end in Baltimore. Keep this 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: thing within a field, Gore, so since he's d to 199 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: me is real. They've got some big playability the one 200 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: and like twenty one in offense. Yeah, they don't run 201 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: any snaps either. It is a big problem with them. 202 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: You know, some of the parts doesn't equal the in product. No, 203 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I think they're still building that. And I'm a big 204 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Borow believer, but he's had some turnovers to um. We 205 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: saw the Ravens really give Herbert same Age quarterback a 206 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: lot of fits and they throw a lot at you. 207 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens gonna win that one, and I 208 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: would lay the points. I think it's like six or seven, 209 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: six and a half. I think this could be a 210 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: kind of a te Higgins break rebreaking game. Can I 211 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: think they'll put Humphrey on. I do, and that's that's 212 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna leave you know, Higgins Higgins against the dudes, not 213 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: not Marlon Humphrey exactly. No, I think you're right about 214 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: that one. I don't disagree at all. I think Mixing 215 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: could do well. Um. I think Lamar and their weapons 216 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: will give them problems. People are complaining about Devon Bush 217 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Queen's got in benched too. Oh yeah, he's been 218 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: a disappointment, and Baltimore is actually both teams. One thing 219 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: about coach Taylor, his teams have been good on special teams. 220 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: I mean Baltimore's always are. But I don't know that 221 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to a kick or you know, 222 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: super plus. Uh Washington two and four at the Packers 223 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: five and one, Green base favor by seven and a 224 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: half the over under his forty eight and a half. 225 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how Washington keeps that that close. Right now, 226 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: I tend to agree. I mean, they Washington's fighting injuries, 227 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: SI and Gibson and McClure and none of those guys 228 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: are Heinekes just a dude. It's been right. They blow coverages. 229 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if you've missed step once against Rogers, let 230 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: alone blow a coverage. He's gonna ice you up. I 231 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: just think green Bay's a lot better, and they're starting 232 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: to get a little healthier to like Balk the R's 233 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: coming back, and you know, green Bay might be ready 234 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: to turn a corner to green Bay sixteen and two 235 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: at home in a regular seasons under Matt Lafloor. That's 236 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, we'll see how that changes 237 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: when he doesn't have Aaron Rodgers anymore. But but it's 238 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: a good combination. Would you rather start Antonio Gibson or A. J. 239 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: Dillon in that game? Obviously Jones is way over both 240 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: they're like the same. So what I'm saying, like right right, 241 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: you know how many carries is give? Like Gibson got 242 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: ten carries last week against Kansas City. Game got away 243 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: from him, They pulled him in. They they okay, you're done. 244 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: I can't quit him. I'm gonna say Gibson and new 245 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: references earlier in the week. Washington's run blocking is by 246 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: some metric ESPN or one of them was number one 247 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: in the league. If they don't get out to if 248 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: they're not too far down to the lineup, I think 249 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: it's got to be a lot of Gibson early in 250 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: the game. Have to have to yeah, you know, but 251 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: can hear with you know, can handle that? I don't know. Uh. 252 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: Panthers three and three at Giants one in five. That's 253 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Carolina favored by three. The over under just forty three 254 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: and a half. I love Carolina in this game. I 255 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: kind of like the over net game. Sneaky. Yeah, I 256 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: think both offenses will make some stuff happen. I mean, 257 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: they're not gonna shut the Giants out. No, the Giants 258 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: of score. They'll put a couple of touchdowns on the board. 259 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: She will catch ten balls, they'll put seventeen on the board. Yeah, 260 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: but I think that defense will get after Jones cause 261 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: some problems. Donald's not great, but he's better than what 262 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: he showed and they had a lot of drops. I 263 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: think they win the game by a touchdown. So he's 264 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: used to play in that stadium too. Yeah, how about that? 265 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: And the wind currents is another guy to talk about 266 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: next segment to he's getting a huge workload when McCaffrey's out, 267 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's being super expensive for dfs. 268 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: We will see that next uh. Jets one in four 269 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: at Patriots two and four. This was one of the 270 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: Patriots wins this year. Their wins have been over the 271 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Jets in Texas yuck. And I think Wilson had like 272 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: four picks in that game. New England's favored by seven 273 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the over under forty three. Belichick first rookie quarterbacks and 274 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: both those games and all that. Jets are coming off 275 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: of bye though, and I think they stick around. I 276 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: think the post by Jets won't be abysmal. I'm not 277 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: saying great. The Jets have been outscored thirty to nothing 278 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: in the first quarter this season. They've been outscored seventy 279 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: five to thirteen in the first half of their games 280 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: this year. Adds up, they've only played five games. I 281 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: think those kind of things with the rookie quarterback and 282 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: new coach probably get a little better. Well, it can't 283 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: be much worse. Yeah, So coming off of bye, I 284 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: don't know the Patriots will be favored by seven or seven. 285 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: A half or eat anybody they beat them by that. 286 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: Here's the thing about division games. If one team blows 287 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: the other one out the first time, it doesn't happen 288 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: again the second time. They just have no explosive players. Yeah, yeah, 289 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: so I would. I think the Jets keep it close. 290 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: Falcons two and three at Dolphins one in five, Atlanta 291 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. I think this is 292 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: a sneaky fantasy game. The over under forty seven and 293 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: a half. I'm really curious too, if all these watts 294 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: and two of rumors are true. I don't know if 295 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: you start to it this week, if you're the Dolphins, 296 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: does Rossette start this game? I mean, if it comes 297 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: out in the next forty eight hours that the trade 298 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: is happening, you don't want to. If two it gets hurt, 299 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: it ruins everything, kills the trade. Um, he didn't practice 300 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and I didn't see hn't have any injuries 301 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday. But I think this is kind of a 302 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: sneaky over game. You know, Matt Ryan could, like Ben 303 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: could probably use that week off. He's coming, you know, 304 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: he has a week to recover. Ridley's back gauge is healthy, 305 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: Pits is starting to find himself. I think there can 306 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: be points in this game. Yeah the uh this Miami's 307 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: the fifteen to not have a bye following a London game. 308 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: That can't be good. Well, the previous four or two 309 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: and two, you would think both straight up and against 310 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: the sprint. Miami's got some weapons model and if they 311 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: have time to throw it and Atlanta doesn't really rush, 312 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: their defense is so bad. Yeah, I don't know if 313 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: they can take advantage of that line. Lions o and 314 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: six at Rams five and one. There's like three monster 315 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: spreads this week, fifteen and a half on that one. 316 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: Fifty is fifty and a half is the over under. Uh, 317 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: this is the we traded Gofford Staffer Bowl. Yeah, um, 318 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk. I'm sure we'll bring up Arizona Houston. 319 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: I think Detroit is a better chance to keep this 320 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: one close, and Houston does I don't know. I guess 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: because they have Swift and Hawk and they may at 322 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: least they have a couple of guys on offense. I 323 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: think Stafford is gonna throw four touchdown passes in this game, 324 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: and I mean I think they'll win big. I'll think 325 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: the points on that one. I think it really helps 326 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: to that so many points. It's a lot of points. 327 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: I think it helps of the game is in l 328 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: A and not Stafford going back to Detroit, Um, you 329 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: know he's gonna be much more at ease. The question 330 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: is to the Rams fans care enough about Jared Goff 331 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: to go out there and boo him. I don't know. 332 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: They probably not that much to him right now that 333 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: they're happy with their guys, they're gonna have some wine 334 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, I don't know. I could see 335 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: Swift score in a late touchdown to bring it within 336 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: or whatever. The number is, whatever giant number that is Eagle. 337 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: The Lions defense is horrible. Eagles two and four, Raiders 338 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: four and two, Vegas favored only by three, the over 339 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: hunders forty nine. It's kind of a weird. I don't 340 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: think that number is big enough. My concern with the 341 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: Raiders is, boy, everyone spiked and got all their energy 342 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: into Gruten's gone ding dong. The witch is dead, and 343 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: then you realize we don't really have a good head coach, 344 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: and you fall back to reality and get out coach 345 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: and things. But I don't like where the Eagles are 346 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: at all. They've been ten days to prepare for this one. Yeah, 347 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: that's that's a big deal. Both these defenses, though, are 348 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: like the most zone heavy conservative ones out there. And 349 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: I think car will Gladly Nicol and Diamio with Waller 350 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: and move the ball down the field where Hurts they're 351 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: searching and they don't even hand the ball off the 352 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: running backs. I raders big in this one. I don't 353 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: understand the line Jalen Hurts. I lost to a team 354 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: in fantasy last week with Jalen Hurts at quarterback because 355 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: he somehow put up thirty points with a hundred and 356 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: twelve yards passing He does every week. It's remarkable. I 357 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: thought Fields and Lands would be that guy too, and 358 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: they aren't. There's gotta be there's gonna be some kind 359 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: of fantasy football and this is but there's gonna be 360 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: some kind of adjustment made. We're not good at this position. 361 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: You shouldn't score a ton, whether you bump up the 362 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: passing yard totals. Yeah, where the passing touchdowns something? Because 363 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: that's Yeah, these running quarterbacks that go out and throw 364 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: for a hundred hundred yards of screwing things up and 365 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 1: scores many points as the guy who throws for four. 366 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: They're not the same. I mean, everyone knows what a 367 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: PPR league is. Maybe there should be a points per 368 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: completion league half a point per complation because the guys 369 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: that can't complete passes shouldn't score it on. They're not good. 370 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: He's not a good player. He could get benched at 371 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: any point. I'm not sure he could be the number 372 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: five fantasy quarterback in week ten. By week ten and 373 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: he's like the yeah, right, because he's not good. No, 374 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: he's not good. Yeah. Bears three and three at Buccaneers 375 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: five and one, Tampa Bay favored by twelve and a half, 376 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: the over under forty seven. Well, Tampa Bay is missing 377 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: a lot in this game. I say, there's no a 378 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: b there's no wrong, there's no Sherman, there's no David. 379 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: I mean all that came out today. I mean, I 380 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: think the Bears he's good. One little nugget I heard 381 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: I'm stealing from somebody that kind of knew this. But 382 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: in put tune two together, the Blitz is really given 383 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: fields problem. Tampa Blitz is more than anybody, and the 384 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: Blitz more'n in the league. Even go back to Ohio 385 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: State didn't handle Blitz particularly well, So that's not wonderful. 386 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: But I think Khalil Mack and that defense keeps it close. 387 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: They don't have Robert Quinn this week. Yeah, I know, 388 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: but it's a good d. It is a good d. 389 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take the points and keep it close. 390 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: They did beat him last year, which leads me to 391 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: believe that's not gonna happen again. That was a game 392 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: Brady was you know, I thought he had fourth down. 393 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't if you agree with me, but I mean 394 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: I think the Bucks, the Rams, and the Cardinals they're 395 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: on the same tier at least where the Bears are 396 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: much better than Houston and Detroit. They're better. They're better. 397 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not a great team, but they're better. 398 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean they're three and three and they with defense, 399 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: they can run the ball. Unders are five and one 400 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: in BEARSS games this season. I can see that. I mean, 401 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: they run the ball well well, they shorten the game. 402 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: Tough to run the ball well against Tampa Bay, though 403 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: it is, it is, it's not a good matchup. I 404 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: wonder Fields runs a little bit more himself this week. 405 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: Why doesn't. Yeah, I don't understand that they can degenerate 406 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: some kind of running game. I think maybe they have 407 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: more designed stuff for him this week. They should, It's 408 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: just been a long time coming. The other huge, huge 409 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: spread this week Xan's one in five at Cardinals six 410 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: and oh seventeen and a half and the over un 411 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: there's only forty seven and a half. It's hard to 412 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: make happy and in houstons to that point. Offensively though, 413 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: they're aftering fifteen points a game and it's going down. Yeah, 414 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I'm not ready to play. I 415 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: don't know if we'll ever be ready to play in 416 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. How about this betting nugget? So if you 417 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: want to bet the Cardinals money line, Yeah, you put 418 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: down a buck, you win six cents. That's the payoff 419 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: on a dollar, six bucks on a hundred or six 420 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: cents on a buck to win this game. You know, 421 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: six bucks is you know? I mean sixty on a thousand, right, 422 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean that that's how much Vegas thinks that Tuesdays 423 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: and No, the two picks for the writers I'm going 424 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: through the NFL. Uh No. The Texas writer picks thirty 425 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: five to three. I don't know if they get to ten. 426 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: Uh Cardinals writer pick seventeen I think i'd laid the number. Yeah, 427 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: seventeen and a half. Seventeen and a half as big 428 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: as you'll see in the NFL. Uh Colts the Sunday 429 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: Night game, Colts two and four at forty nine Ers 430 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: two and three. This might be what I could just turn. Well, 431 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: I get I got Jonathan Taylor, so I'll probably watch it. 432 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a big game. Yeah. I 433 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: mentioned my co host is a big Niner guy. Jimmy 434 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: is not, and Lance is not gonna play at all, 435 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: Like they're not page game that they're not gonna use 436 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: them in packages. He's not healthy enough he thinks will 437 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: be inactive in this game. So there's a change the 438 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: favored by four, and Yeah, I think the Colts keep 439 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: it close and maybe even win it. M that Coltstone 440 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: aren't great coming back in a big way. You guys 441 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: traded me. Do I think he causes problems? I think 442 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: the Colts keep it close. I mean, you probably don't 443 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: disagree with me, your Jimmy love, but I think Gwentz 444 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: is a much better quarterback than Jimmy. Right now, I'm 445 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: just playing what's better. But Nelson's coming back, you know, 446 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: I think they'll keep a close I'll gladly take four points. Forty. 447 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: Niners coach Kyle Shanahan is eight nineteen and two as 448 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: a favorite against the spread. Eight nineteen and two against 449 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: the spread is a favorite. Yeah, people think they're better 450 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: than they are. San Francisco is two and seven outright 451 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: in its last nine games as a favorite of at 452 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: least three points are more. I think that sets up 453 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: I thought only Mike Tomlin lost games he was supposed to. 454 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: Nobody ever does, nobody else ever does? The Colts are 455 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: starting to turn a corner a little bit. The corners 456 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: aren't great, but I don't know if that matters against 457 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: you know that passing game. This one's a sneaky. I 458 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: don't know what to think of this one. I know, 459 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: I think I know who's gonna win. But the spreads interesting. 460 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: Saints three into this Monday night game three and two 461 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: as Seahawks two and four. The Saints favored by four 462 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: and a half. The over run there's only forty two 463 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: and a half, which is really low. That might be 464 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: the lowest one of the week. It's actually my favorite. 465 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Better the week is on the Saints. I think Seattle 466 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: is bad without Wilson. I think so too, but that's 467 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: a tough place to play. They'll run the They'll run 468 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the footall. I don't care who the who the running 469 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: back is, they will continue to run the football. I 470 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 1: just think give Sean Payton two weeks to prepare for 471 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: that one and some of their guys get a little healthier. 472 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: Winston what you want to bet him, He's a lot 473 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: better than Gino. I think the Saints D is the 474 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: best unit out there, and probably better than the Steelers 475 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: D right now. Probably keep Seattle to under twenty points. Uh, 476 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: it's It's a decent number for a road team on 477 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: a Monday night. But I think the Saints handled that game. 478 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: That's why they play him, and that's why they play him. Yeah, 479 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: I I never Saints so hard to get wrap your 480 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: head around, though. Yeah I can't. I don't know what 481 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: they are and I just know that that that trip 482 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: is not fun even if you're I mean horriblace to 483 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: play Monday night. I want to be looped up, I 484 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: mean no doubt. Yeah, I just think they can handle it. 485 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: I have to bet on Sean Payton on that one. 486 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: For me two weeks betting on Jamis.
