1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone on pat fitsforis managing editor of Betting Pros

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: and Fantasy Pros, and I am going to run through

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: my favorite player props for wild card weekend and Week

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: eighteen was pretty good to us. We ended the regular

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: season on a high note, going six and two. That

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: ended a two week losing streak and gave us some

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: momentum heading into the NFL playoffs. So let's get to it.

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: And just a reminder that all lines are courtesy of

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: DraftKings as of Thursday afternoon. Here we go, Dak Prescott's

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: over one point five touchdown passes. Prescott is playing the

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Buccaneers on Monday nights, and this number was actually juiced

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: slightly towards the under as of Thursday afternoon, so you

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: could get the over at minus one ten and uh yeah,

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Prescott has thrown multiple touchdown passes in

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: eight of his last ten starts, and in four of

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: those eight multiple TV games he had three and not

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: merely two. He is facing a Buccaneers pass defense. They

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: gave up twenty nine touchdown passes this season. That's tied

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: for second most in the league, and Tampa Bay is

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: hard to run against, especially when Vita Vea. Their defensive

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: tackle is healthy. Vea is healthy, so that might influence

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Dallas play calling when they get into the red zone.

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they look to go through the air rather than

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: on the ground. I like Prescott to throw more than

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: one and a half touchdown passes. I think he throws

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: multiple tds in this one. Josh Allen over two hundred

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: and fifty seven point seven passing yards. It's kind of

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: surprising to see Allen's yardage total set so low. In

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: two previous starts against the Dolphins this season, he had

30
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: four hundred and three hundred and four passing yards, and

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: for the season, Allen has averaged two hundred and sixty

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: seven point seven passing yards per game. The Dolphins are

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: easier to pass against than to run against. And yeah,

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Miami is twenty fifth in the league in DVOA against

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: the pass and give up the fifth most passing yards

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: during the regular season. So of course, weather is always

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a concern when Buffalo is playing at home in winter,

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: but the forecast for this Sunday Buffalo is pretty mild, actually,

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: thirty one degrees sun and a four mile an hour wind,

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: which is a non factor. The one concern here is

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: that the Bills might be able to take their foot

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: off the gas pedal late in the game if they

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: get a big lead against the Dolphins, who are going

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: to be quarterbacked by third string rookie Skyler Thompson. Bills

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: are favored by thirteen in this one, and that number

46
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: might go up even higher, so it's possible they kind

47
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: of shut it down a little late in the game

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: and let the running game do most of the work.

49
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: But still I think the over on Josh Allen at

50
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty seven and a half passing yards

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: is a very good percentage played. Nonetheless, Kenneth Walker under

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: sixty point five rushing yards, and if you give me

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: a chance to bet on the San Francisco run defense,

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it every time. The forty nine

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Ers have been nearly impregnable against the run all season.

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: They have given up a league low fifty nine point

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: six rushing yards per game to opposing running backs, and

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: the only individual player this season to run for sixty

59
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: yards or more against San Francisco all year was Josh Jacobs,

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: who ran for sixty nine yards against them in Week seventeen.

61
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: So Walker has averaged twenty six carries game over the

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: last three weeks. He has been a workhorse for Seattle.

63
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: But you wonder if they're going to keep slamming Walker

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: into a brick wall if they cannot get the running

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: game going against San Francisco. And I do think Seattle's

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: going to have a hard time, as everyone else has,

67
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: getting the running game going against San Francisco. And when

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: we saw the forty nine Ers beat the Seahawks in

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Week fifteen by a score of twenty one to thirteen,

70
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: Walker had twelve carries for forty seven yards, so he

71
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of work. San Francisco's given up

72
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: three point three yards per carry to running backs this season.

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I think they shut down Walker in this one. All right.

74
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: I will get to the rest of my favorite player

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: back to the play props and how about Travis etn

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: over seventy five point five rushing yards. Yeah, that's kind

88
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: of a big number. In fact, that is the highest

89
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: total on the board, the highest rushing total on the

90
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: board for wild Card weekend. I still like the over.

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: ETN had seven carries for only seventeen yards against Tennessee

92
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: last week, but the Titans have a fierce run defense.

93
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: Etn's opponent this week, the Chargers, they do not not

94
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: in the least. The Chargers have well, they gave up

95
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: a league worst five point six yards per carry to

96
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: opposing running backs this year. That is a pretty terrible number,

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: and they've allowed opposing running backs to average one hundred

98
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: and twenty seven point three rushing yards a game against them,

99
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: second most behind only the Texans. And yes, last week

100
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: the Chargers were or the Jaguars were forced to abandon

101
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: the run against the Titans. But Etn in his three

102
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: previous games had cleared this number in all three, averaging

103
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: ninety eight rushing yards per game over that stretch. I

104
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: think he smashes this number in a home game against

105
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: a very bad Chargers run defense. All Right, George Kittle

106
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: over forty four and a half receiving yards. Kittle gets

107
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: another crack at a Seattle defense that he blowtorched for

108
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: ninety three receiving yards and two touchdowns less than a

109
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: month ago in Week fifteen. Seattle has been absolutely helpless

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: against tight ends this year. They've allowed one and fifteen

111
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: receiving yards to opposing tight ends, second most in the league.

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: Kittle has seen at least five targets in each of

113
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: his last five games, and he is averaging nine point

114
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: two yards per target over that span. Even with Deebo

115
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Samuel back for the forty nine Ers this week to

116
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: claim some of the targets from quarterback brock Perty, I

117
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: still like Kittle's chances to surpass forty four and a

118
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: half receiving yards. All Right. Austin Eckler in maybe my

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: favorite bet of the week over thirty five point five

120
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards for Austin Eckler. So Eckler's been heavily involved

121
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: in the passing game for the Chargers all season long,

122
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: with one hundred and seven catches for seven hundred and

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: twenty two yards. The Chargers might have to lean on

124
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: Eckler even more than usual this week if Mike Williams

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: is not able to play or is limited. Williams sustained

126
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: a back injury in Week eighteen, and as of Thursday,

127
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: he has not been practicing, so he might be out.

128
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: If so, Eckler's probably going to get a few spillover targets.

129
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: And Eckler's facing a Jaguars defense that is easier to

130
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: throw on then to run on. And Jacksonville has been

131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: especially susceptible to pass catching running backs this year. The

132
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Jags have given up eight hundred and fifty three receiving

133
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: yards to running backs, second most behind only the Raiders.

134
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: And when Eckler faced the Jaguars way back in Week three,

135
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: eight catches for forty eight yards. So I like Eckler

136
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: to go over thirty five and a half this week.

137
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: And finally, a repeat pick from last week, Hayden Hurst

138
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: under thirty one point five receiving yards. Yeah. One of

139
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: my recommended props last week was Hurst under thirty point

140
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: five receiving yards against the Ravens, and here we are

141
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: again Bengals versus Ravens. Revenge game for Hayden Hurst, but

142
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: not a good revenge spot. As I mentioned last week,

143
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: when Jamar Chase and t Higgins have both been active

144
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: together the Bengals big two wide receivers, Hurst has not

145
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: done a whole lot. There have been eight such games

146
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: with Chase and Higgins both active, and Hurst has finished

147
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: with under thirty receiving yards in six of those eight games.

148
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: He's going up against the Ravens defense that's been tough

149
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: on tight ends this year. The Ravens have given up

150
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the seventh fewest receiving yards to posing tight end. So

151
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: Hurst under thirty one point five receiving yards. And let's

152
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: just recap all the wagers this week. Dak Prescott over

153
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: one and a half touchdown passes, Josh Allen over two

154
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven point seven passing yards, Kenneth Walker

155
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: under sixty and a half rushing yards, Travis Etn over

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: seventy five and a half rushing yards, George Kittle over

157
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: forty four and a half receiving yards, Austin Eckler over
