1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: This is the business of sports where in the situation 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: that we haven't dealt with in modern times, pandemic here 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: has really accelerated the investments that we've been advocating for 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: for years. From a macro standpoint, I think our sport 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: industry is really forced to look at the business a 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: little bit differently. In depth conversations with the leaders in 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: the sports industry. Who wants to be the sacrificial lambs 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: that shows up at the first big major sporting event, 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: a part of something much bigger than the sports right 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: now and the health and tasty of our stakeholders that 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: looks much important every moment. I think we're all from 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: the business respective thinking about the impact that the virus 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: is having across the country.

Hour. Before we 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: get into the picks, we got to talk about our league. 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: How are you guys doing well? Hey? I mean I 28 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: think we're you know, both Rich and I are holding 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: up there. We're qualifying for the last two playoff spots. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: I mean we're We're looking pretty good. Our teams are 31 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: getting healthy, and I think you guys up there at 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: the top of the charts better better watch out here 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: the next few weeks and be interesting. Yea, Rich, are 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: you doing man? As Damian said, we're tied. I actually 35 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: I believe I have the second most overall points. So 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm a game out of second along with Damian. I 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: think so if I can get a little run here 38 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: tie for a second, then maybe I'll get a walk. 39 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't allow that because I'm playing you 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: this week. Man, I'm playing you, yeah, so well, you 41 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: know it's I'll be listening to what you're picking here. 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Okay again, Uh, let's start. Uh. First of all, let's 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: start with the obvious. Uh, Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow that 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: that was tragic because he's injured. Obviously it's torn and 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: they think now it's an m c O. So obviously 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: he's out for the season. Uh. And in this brutal 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: because that young man was really taking off. He would 48 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: have won Rookie of the Year, I believe if he 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: would have completed all the games. Yeah, and he and 50 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: he and he's got the only one out in Cincinnati. 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: You've got you a mixing out now. So I mean, 52 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: for those of you looking at lineups and looking for 53 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: streaming defenses, that New York Giants defense looks so awfully 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: special heading into week twelver. But how typical would it 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: be for the Giants to lose this game? So aproposed 56 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: that the Giants will lose this game through without their 57 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: number one running back, their number one quarterback. Giants have 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: been playing well lately, as Damien said, the obvious thing 59 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: would be to pick up the Giants defense. But I 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: do not trust the Giants. Giants or five and a 61 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: half favorite in this too. Yes, they are. It's Wayne's world. 62 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: It's Wayne Goldman's world out there in Giants Land. So 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: you know you have and I have them, so you 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: know I'm looking for the Giants to roll. And you 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: know we were just talking before the podcast. I mean, 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: who do you think wins the NFC East this year? 67 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: I mean it's tight. Do you realize the Washington Dallas 68 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: game could determine a lot in the NFC East. That's 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: how bad it is. It's I am I am amazed. 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: I've said this before and I'll say it again. There 71 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: needs to be a rule. If you're not five hundred, 72 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: you're just out, period, and you just pick another team 73 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: and and the winning of that division is going to 74 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: host a playoff. Yeah, that's that's not right. You get 75 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: a home field advantage for having a sloppy record. No, 76 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: that's wrong. So well, guys, I mean, all three games 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Thursday are going to be awesome, and nothing 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: is going to be more important in my mind than 79 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: that evening game Baltimore Pittsburgh. I mean, let me just 80 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: give it to you. That Ravens overtime lost the Tennessee 81 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Leaves meant six and four in the year, and you 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: know there are four games behind Pittsburgh. Now they're one 83 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: game behind Cleveland. I mean, check it out. At one point, 84 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Lamart Jackson was twenty one and oh in career games 85 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: when Baltimore was up by ten or more points. In 86 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the past three games, they're just one and two. Well, 87 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: that's if the game goes. I hope it still goes, 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: because what is it nine members of Baltimore they tested 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: positive for COVID. Now that the game is still on 90 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: as of this recording right now, I hope it's still places. 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the best game. Like you said, 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, in my other league, the one I really 93 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: care about, I have JK. Dobbins and he's finally emerged 94 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: and now he has COVID. I wouldn't mind that game 95 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: being delayed until next week. I was gonna say, you 96 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: just you hit the nail on the head. Gus Edwards 97 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: is looking pretty good. If that game goes for the 98 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: running back pick up, well, let's stay on Thursday. There's 99 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: a couple of guys I like, and I like a 100 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: lot of players in the Detroit UH Texans game. I 101 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: know Michael's a joy Lions fan, and I really like 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. It looks like he's trending up to play. 103 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: Obviously you have to check if he's going to be 104 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: dressed or not. But he's trending up to play. And 105 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: Houston has the worst rushing defense in the league. So 106 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: that's part of my article this week. I like DeAndre 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: Swift and just reminiscing One of my favorite Thanksgivings was 108 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: when I had Barry Sanders on my team and he 109 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: played the Bears in three touchdowns hundred sixty seven yards 110 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: rushing by far, in my opinion, the best most dynamic 111 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: fantasy football player to root for, or I actually think 112 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: the best there ever was. Obviously I was watching that 113 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: game and I'm like, I was just I was drooling. 114 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'm you know, it's the 115 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: late great Gail Sayers. I'm sure I think of those 116 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: two because they both had the same kind of running style, 117 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: just excellent. Well, now that we're dwelling in the past, 118 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: to me, can we just talk about the n Bob 119 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: Greece and Myrison today. I'm going to be watching that 120 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: Thursday night game. Is below an undefeated team in the NFL, 121 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: and you know, after Baltimore, I mean the schedule, it's 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: going to be very interesting. Can you trust Ryan Finley 123 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: to put in as a pick up as a quarterback 124 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: SETI I read today that he's not playing. It's a 125 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: different backup quarterback whose name escapes me at the present moment, 126 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: that has some experience with the offensive coordinator. So I 127 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: believe it's going to be a different quarterback. Now, you've 128 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: got some always you always have some great value plays 129 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Rich in your article. Please, I gotta I gotta beat you. 130 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: So tell me what you got man. Uh. Our producer 131 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: Reggie says, the quarterback that is playing, by the way, 132 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: is Brandon Allen. Oh you're right, You're exactly right, guys. 133 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: So he'll be the Sincinnati quarterback all right? Uh? Just 134 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: I like Swift. I'll give you another one on Thanksgiving. 135 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: I like j D. McKissick. He's been getting targeted more 136 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: than your average wide receiver the last few games. Um, 137 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: it's Washington Dallas. The quarterback Alex Smith does dump the 138 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: ball off a lot to the runnings back. So if 139 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: you're on a PPR league, I like him. I like 140 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: Will Fuller to team up with DeShawn Watson because I 141 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: think that Detroit game is gonna be a highest scoring 142 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: game and Thanksgiving, and I do even though they're calling 143 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: for his head in Philadelphia, I'll roll the dice and 144 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: play Carson Wentz against the Seahawks. That was Damian doing 145 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: the Scooby doo. Yeah no, I mean, I mean Michael 146 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: the game. That's really interesting for me, and it's it's 147 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's it's not laws Na because Atlanta game. 148 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: You know that is going to be the high point 149 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: to the game this week, you know, and you know 150 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: with Julio Jones questionable, Um, you know who's gonna put 151 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: up all those points? Right? I mean Matt Bryan got 152 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: us through to somebody. Calvin Ridley's very well positioned to 153 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: uh to outperform Mayor and look, I mean girl we 154 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: headed down week. He can also have a little bit 155 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: of a bounce back against that that that Las Vegas 156 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: rushing defense, I mean, which is better than average, mind you, 157 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: but but I think that game is gonna generate a 158 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: lot of points. I think it's when you have to 159 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: keep a close eye on Ryan stats with it without 160 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is huge. So you have to make sure 161 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: that if you have Julio Jones, like I do in 162 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: my other league that he's actually playing, but he didn't 163 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: look too good when he hobbled off the field. Now, 164 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: by the way, that's that game Las Vegas. There are 165 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: two and a half favorites in that game, but which 166 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, I know we're talking fantasy. But if that's 167 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: gonna be another highest scoring game, uh, that looks like 168 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: an overbet if you are looking into investing your money 169 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: that way. Uh. And like the De Troy game, I 170 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be an over Yeah. And also in 171 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: the highest score highest scoring game projected right now is 172 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: Casey Tampa Bay fifty six. But I do like the 173 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: Houston Detroit game over uh any whiteouts. Uh, striking fantasy 174 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: gentleman from Damian Well, I mean a lot of people 175 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: are gonna be talking about the mere bird in New 176 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: England after having six receptions, fords and a touchdown. But 177 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: I'm not really buying New England for Sir Regin's here. 178 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, don't ask me about receivers. I 179 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: mentioned ju Smith Schuster last week. He didn't really perform 180 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: so well, but you know, certainly it's going to be Jefferson. 181 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: A feeling is at on ir due to COVID. You know, 182 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Jefferson can have a very big week. I think, and 183 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: and look, we you know Caroline's defense, Caroline It's secondary 184 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: is vulnerable. So and that's that should be another high 185 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: scoring game Carolina Minnesota. Rich Um, I actually agreed with 186 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: what Damien said before Calvin Ridley, But one I want 187 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: to switch the quarterback if you don't mind, Michael Barr, 188 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: how about Justin Herbert. Oh my good rate, we have 189 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: not gone a podcast Michael without him missening mentioning Justin Herbert. Well, 190 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: first of all, I have to tell you because I 191 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: wasted like forty dollars on Devote Freeman, I was luckily enough. 192 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: I guess things bounce out. I got Justin Herbert like 193 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: two months ago for no dollars. And let me just 194 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: tell you his last seven games twenty touchdown passes to 195 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown, and he's made superstars. Not that Keenan Allen 196 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: wasn't wasn't a superstar, but Keenan Allen last week, yeah, 197 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: sixteen catches, a hundred yards, one touch on Mike Williams. 198 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: Seems like he's scoring every week. That offense has been 199 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: very very good. Their defense has been poor. So they're 200 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: in high scoring games every week, so that's an all 201 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: the projected high scoring game charges Buffalo fifty three and 202 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: a half. Well, let's look across the pond at the 203 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. I mean Jared Goff, I mean he 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: was tossing it around, so I mean slinging it to 205 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: Robert Woods fifteen targets, Cooper Cup thirteen targets. I mean, 206 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: both those receivers were huge last week because you can't 207 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: run on Tampa, so they had a good game plan 208 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: just to throw the ball. What do you think about 209 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: tight ends? And I'm not sure if there's really anybody 210 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: out there, but but I do like the tight end 211 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: for Houston. Jordan's uh aigens. I believe Higgins and because 212 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: they're playing in Detroit for Thanksgiving, and UH love their 213 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: tight ends in Houston, so that could be a good pickup. Well, 214 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: one guys, I mean, who didn't perform well last week 215 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: put up a donut with Hayden Hurst in Atlanta and yeah, 216 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: so you know, he hurt a lot of people. Just 217 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: shows the volatility at that position. But you know, look 218 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: no further than Darren Waller, what a big game, I 219 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: mean really and so you know I think there are 220 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: still guys out there, but you have to lean into 221 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: Kelsey Waller. I think Evan England's have a bounce back game. 222 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: Hopkinson has been good this year, and obviously Andrews. Yeah, 223 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: my columns take two value pics to Evan Ingraham Bengal 224 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: has given up the fourth most fantasy points of tight ends, 225 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: and I like no offense of the Broncos good. You 226 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: can't run against the Saints. You have to throw the ball. 227 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: They'll probably be paying from behind. So those are two 228 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: guys I like this week. Now, I got to bring 229 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: this up because yes, my chest is puffed out. Two 230 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty guys. It's down to twenty eight in 231 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: the survivor pool, and I'm one of the twenty eight, 232 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: and I'm now I'm like, people got knocked out because 233 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: they picked Minnesota last week. So some people got knocked 234 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: out of that in that one because they didn't think 235 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: there's no way in the world they were going to 236 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: lose the Dallas, but they did. Uh. Now going forward 237 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: is an interesting situation. Miami. They play the Jets, and 238 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: the interesting thing is the twenty guys left, twenty five 239 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: of them have already played Miami, I'm not one of 240 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: and so this could be really good. So I now, 241 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: of course I'm blabbing, and of course you know this 242 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: is where the Jets will show their haircut. But if 243 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: if this is how those pools get knocked out real fast. 244 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: Uh so obviously I'm looking at Miami. Do you see 245 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: anybody good that you like in the uh starting with 246 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: Damien here that you like? I mean, here's the deal. 247 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, Miami's got something to playoff. They are a 248 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: playoff contended this here for sure. And there's one thing 249 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: that the Jets have proven if they can't do anything right, 250 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: and that means they can't even lose right, So they 251 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: might actually win this one. Yeah, no, I'm kidding, but 252 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: I think Miami would definitely be the pick. There some 253 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: others that you might look at if you still don't 254 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: under the Rams versus San Francisco that's a tough one, 255 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: but it's a seven point spread. Cleveland versus Jacksonville it's 256 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: another six and a half pointer. And then obviously Green 257 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: Bay versus Chicago. I think that's the seven point spread. 258 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: So those are all your candidates if you have any 259 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: of them available, And we don't even know who is 260 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: quarterback in for Chicago this week? That's that's another situation altogether. 261 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: Uh well, we're gonna see what's gonna happen. I got 262 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: my fingers crossed. But by the way, about the by now, 263 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: all the teams are playing this week, but then there's 264 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: some funky scheduling stuff, and I think next week there's 265 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: some teams on the by. But anyway, this week they 266 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: are all playing, all thirty two teams. So go out 267 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: and see what you got there on the team.
