Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.
Speaker 1: Now along with the guys from fanball dot Com. Here's
Speaker 1: the host for Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul. Welcome to another
Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. Of super Bowl edition. Just
Speaker 1: is away. Yeah, super Bowl Edition two point oh. You
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish did a great job last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it got me excited. I was on the plane heading
Speaker 1: home and I needed a good Uh. Oh, man, there's
Speaker 1: Scott right now. He's waving at his he heard his name.
Speaker 1: I think he did. Hey, He's like, Hey, let's happen.
Speaker 1: It's goot, let's happen. Oh, this is the Nick Bosa
Speaker 1: half a sack conversation. You love Nick Bosa half a sack.
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna take Joey Bosa and the under
Speaker 1: the way under way under Uh. That's my co host
Speaker 1: Explosive Output Matt Harrison at Explosive Output on Twitter. We
Speaker 1: um it was Scott Fish last week. We broke it
Speaker 1: down the game fantasy style last week, and at that
Speaker 1: time I lamented that I really didn't have a great
Speaker 1: sense of who is gonna win in the in the
Speaker 1: week sense. I feel pretty good. And where where are
Speaker 1: you coming in on? Niners are gonna win? I think
Speaker 1: the Niners are gonna win. So I was just can
Speaker 1: tell you why if you want, well, I yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 1: tell me why. I'll tell you why. Let me let's
Speaker 1: just talk broadly about the paths to victory. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: have got one and a half viable path to victory.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in their passing game clearly one of them.
Speaker 1: Their past defense is good. It's not lights out, but
Speaker 1: it's good. I'll give him half. That's that's the one
Speaker 1: and half. They're not gonna run their way to victory,
Speaker 1: and the run defense is not going to key them
Speaker 1: to victory. The nine or Is, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: have got four paths to victory. They can pass their
Speaker 1: way to a win with Kittle and Sanders and Samuel
Speaker 1: all capable of game changing plays. Jimmy Garoppolo better than
Speaker 1: people think percent completion percentage twice in a in one sentence. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, people think he's like this mundane caretaker quarterback.
Speaker 1: I'll remind people four times this year in the same
Speaker 1: game he threw for two seven yards and three or
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in a game. I think it's not a
Speaker 1: caretaker cord and think that those were all against the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: though two of the four were against the Cardinals. Okay,
Speaker 1: some and dude, it's a winner Garoppolo. Four games with
Speaker 1: Garoppolo starting since so since Jimmy Garoppolo four games with him,
Speaker 1: nineteen wins, twenty four games without him four I mean
Speaker 1: a winner. I mean, you know, you look at what
Speaker 1: the state of the team is. Anytime he doesn't play
Speaker 1: and they can't win, doesn't hurt that they have one
Speaker 1: of the top defenses in the league. And that's probably
Speaker 1: one of your next paths to victory. It is a
Speaker 1: path to victory, isn't it. Here's your past defense for
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, number one in passing yards allowed this year.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you take out that December
Speaker 1: when they were missing four defensive starters, the average game
Speaker 1: we mentioned this stat last week with Scott Fish the
Speaker 1: average game passing against the forty Niners one hundred sixty
Speaker 1: one yards. That's it. One tell people the special guest
Speaker 1: that's in studio with us, oh my dog Hattie. She's
Speaker 1: a little puppy. She's four months old. So a Morky,
Speaker 1: I'll post a picture on Twitter. Now, people don't know
Speaker 1: a Morky is half yor Ky and half mork from Orc,
Speaker 1: yes or Maltese, one of the two. One of that.
Speaker 1: We can't be sure. You know, Robin Williams legacy is
Speaker 1: so profound that it's it may actually be into the breeding.
Speaker 1: She does have a little bit of Robin Williams hair.
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of looks like harrier than your
Speaker 1: dog that I think. I think she'd give him a run.
Speaker 1: Uh but had Hattie's in studio. She doesn't make a
Speaker 1: lot of noise. You might hear a little wine in
Speaker 1: here there, but normally that's just me. Nine is her
Speaker 1: number five in sacks UH registered last year. UH of
Speaker 1: the season. Pro Football Focus ranks them number three in
Speaker 1: past run past rush defense and number one in past
Speaker 1: coverage defense. I mean, you know, so obviously they can
Speaker 1: win against the past. The Niners scan they can win
Speaker 1: against the run. They were top eight in rushing yards
Speaker 1: per game allowed, rushing attempts per game allowed, rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: per game allowed. UM there are two point four yards
Speaker 1: per carry. Aloud was right in the middle of the pack,
Speaker 1: So I'll grant them, I'll mention that. But I think
Speaker 1: they run defense, which totally shut down Dalvin Cook and
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. It's a good on defense. They can win
Speaker 1: on the run defense, and then of course they could
Speaker 1: The Niners can run themselves, run on offense. They can
Speaker 1: run to victory. They have four paths. I don't even
Speaker 1: have to explain how they can run their path unto victories.
Speaker 1: They just did it twice in a role in the
Speaker 1: playoffs against good teeth, good defenses. So yeah, that's uh.
Speaker 1: I think the Niners have so many more paths to victory.
Speaker 1: I just feel better about the nine. If they play
Speaker 1: this game a hundred times. How many times do you
Speaker 1: think the Niners win? Obviously you think it's more than
Speaker 1: half sixty three? Okay? Um, So I just saw some
Speaker 1: stats from the athletics shil Kapatia, and I probably mispronounced
Speaker 1: like you're destroyed him because family legacy has been ruined.
Speaker 1: Six point eight billion being wagered on Super Bowl fifty four.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. I wish we had to
Speaker 1: cut it. I'll be part of that. According to the
Speaker 1: Borgatta in Atlantic, City of the money, and of the
Speaker 1: tickets are being bet on the Chiefs. I like being
Speaker 1: on the house side with the underdog and the over
Speaker 1: by the way, everybody pounding the over. One of the
Speaker 1: one of the great stats. I saw the Chiefs three
Speaker 1: losses this year. I combined sixteen points. That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1: We're pretty close. So how gutsy do you have to
Speaker 1: be to take the Niners and giving points? Because you
Speaker 1: can do that, right you can. You can go Niners
Speaker 1: and go Niners and give three, and can go Niners
Speaker 1: and give so I shot you that the other day.
Speaker 1: I gotta pulled up right here. Um this is from Westgate. Uh.
Speaker 1: If you give the Niners, if they if they have
Speaker 1: three and a half that they have to beat, Yeah, PLU,
Speaker 1: that's not enough. It could be more than plus one
Speaker 1: sixty five. It's like Vegas has this figured out. Minus
Speaker 1: seven and a half plus two seventy should still be
Speaker 1: more minus ten and a half plus four hundred. Now
Speaker 1: we're getting there. And the one if we're gonna make
Speaker 1: a bet as a as an office for you to
Speaker 1: take to Vegas this weekend, I think we should go
Speaker 1: for the forty Niners blowout scenario minus fourteen and a
Speaker 1: half plus five fifty Because if we're all gonna throw in,
Speaker 1: you know, ten twenty bucks here and and and put
Speaker 1: a wager down to make it worth our while, I
Speaker 1: want you to come back and give me a hundred,
Speaker 1: not forty. What fun is that? So I like that angle.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna do the office bet, let's do some
Speaker 1: player props. Yeah, I've got three and a half that
Speaker 1: I can talk about. I got three that I like
Speaker 1: quite a bit. First, I'll start with the Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: over under a forty eight and a half receiving yards.
Speaker 1: He's had forty nine or more yards and four of
Speaker 1: his last six and everybody like just knows he had
Speaker 1: that great Week one and then did nothing the rest
Speaker 1: of the regular season. But he had a couple of
Speaker 1: little pop ups in the end of an end of
Speaker 1: the year and more active in the playoff and the playoffs,
Speaker 1: he's been good, uh seventy six yards in the Divisional round,
Speaker 1: a hundred and fourteen in the conference championship. And I
Speaker 1: imagine San Francisco slides their average or at least tries
Speaker 1: to get good players on Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: a lot. There's gonna be a lot of double teaming
Speaker 1: of this year. But they're not gonna move Richard Sherman.
Speaker 1: They're not going to move him at all. If Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins lends up on a Kello Witherspoon, it takes one pass,
Speaker 1: whether won't be on the field. He might not, They'll
Speaker 1: use Emmanuel Moses spond. I means, should only be one
Speaker 1: pass from Patrick Mahomes for Sammy Watkins to hit the
Speaker 1: over on this bet. I kind of like the bet
Speaker 1: that's true about really all of the players. It's one
Speaker 1: pass to Tyreek Hill, one pass to Travis Kelsey. And
Speaker 1: that's why it's so god It's so scary to bet
Speaker 1: anything against him, because that's all it takes. He's just anyone,
Speaker 1: anyone thing, anyone play at Mahomes just lit you up. Um.
Speaker 1: I still kind of like the Chiefs to win this game,
Speaker 1: and it's just because of Pat Patrick Mahomes. He's the
Speaker 1: X factor of the whole thing. He the best player
Speaker 1: in the league. Oh for sure, We're we're not going
Speaker 1: to talk about him as the top overall pick in
Speaker 1: Fantasy next year, but I think he's going to be
Speaker 1: my QB one when we go into Fantasy football season next,
Speaker 1: very defensible, all right, anything else on Watkins? No, that's it.
Speaker 1: But I want to hear your next George Kittle over
Speaker 1: sixty seven. Brian Johnson feels very strong and he's been
Speaker 1: pounding the table on this. So I decided digging on Kittle. Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna cash in on a recency bias here.
Speaker 1: Kittle has failed two top twenty yards in the two
Speaker 1: playoff games, so I think people are understandably nervous about
Speaker 1: banking on Kittle now. But here's the thing. If I
Speaker 1: look at Kittle's last games, one game he hit right
Speaker 1: on sixty seven yards. Nine games went over the number.
Speaker 1: Wait nine times nine? Where where is it hold on fantasy?
Speaker 1: Not that one? No, you need the cheat sheet. Where's
Speaker 1: nine times it took you? Nine times? Nine times he
Speaker 1: hit sixty By the way, you just left. Just let
Speaker 1: it breathe, Just let it breathe. I'll never get tired
Speaker 1: of hearing the sad trombone solo from American Pie too. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kittle went over the Vegas number of sixties seven nine
Speaker 1: times in his last thirteen games, so you might be
Speaker 1: thinking yourself, well, Vegas had to adjust Vegas had to
Speaker 1: adjust the line because Kansas Cities defense was so good
Speaker 1: against tight ends. Uh man, were they bad? Kansas City
Speaker 1: allowed the second most tight end receptions the fourth most
Speaker 1: tight end yards. And here's the funny thing. I'm looking
Speaker 1: through Tennessee against elite tight ends this year and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to find comparables to George Kittle, and there aren't any.
Speaker 1: They played the softest tight end schedule. You can imagine
Speaker 1: the two best tight ends they faced all year, Darren
Speaker 1: Waller and Hunter Henry. That no, it is and they're
Speaker 1: in division and they're in division UM. And by the way,
Speaker 1: those guys predominantly did well. So yeah, it's I I
Speaker 1: think it'll sitting on a really nice game here. By
Speaker 1: the way, two weeks ago, Tennessee's tight ends went over
Speaker 1: the Vegas number of sixty seven as well. Two weeks ago, UM,
Speaker 1: Kansas City lost their free safety want Thornhill in week
Speaker 1: seventeen as well. So I roll all that together. I
Speaker 1: really like Kiddle going over sixty seven yards. You know,
Speaker 1: it's fun to bet the overs on the over unders.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants to cheer for the unders, and it is.
Speaker 1: That's how Vegas is built, by the way, so we
Speaker 1: should probably be hitting under bets like left and right
Speaker 1: on these But how about Deebo Samuel over under of
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half rushing yards in that's scary to
Speaker 1: be It's scary, Okay, he'ld get no carries and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised, all right. He's had a carry in
Speaker 1: each of the last seven games at least one carry um,
Speaker 1: and he's averaging fourteen point two yards per carry, so
Speaker 1: we need him to get to one in a third
Speaker 1: carries exactly. He's top twenty yards and five of his
Speaker 1: last seven. He's had at least two rushing attempts in
Speaker 1: four of the last six, so he's they keep moving
Speaker 1: him around. Kyle Shanahan's offense is predicated on moving guys around,
Speaker 1: having different points of attack throughout the whole game. Hattie's
Speaker 1: chewing on the microphone card. Hattie's chewing on your your
Speaker 1: microphone card right now? What would happen if you went
Speaker 1: home with Hattie's carcass and explained that Hattie electrocuted herself
Speaker 1: and died in the office on your watch. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's to the kids. I don't think i'd go home.
Speaker 1: I just I just disappear. You might get too at
Speaker 1: that point, change your identity because right now Hattie's worth
Speaker 1: a lot more in that house than you are. Oh
Speaker 1: definitely for sure. So yeah, I like I like debote
Speaker 1: top that over on the rushing yards. I think it's
Speaker 1: kind of a sneaky one, and I think twenties just
Speaker 1: something that he can get on one carry, one carry,
Speaker 1: it could be. So I like these player props where
Speaker 1: it's like only one thing has to happen for for
Speaker 1: me to win this. It's it seems pretty easy, and
Speaker 1: it's things that I think that we can do. So
Speaker 1: all right, I've got a couple more. You've got at
Speaker 1: least one more. We'll take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back with more of our our player prop analysis
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowls. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you, and we're back. If I
Speaker 1: were to tell you, Matt that Damian Williams isn't going
Speaker 1: to be the chief who rushes for the first touchdown,
Speaker 1: who's the next most likely person If it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be Damian Williams, we know none of the other running
Speaker 1: factors it's Patrick Mahomes. You've cracked the code. I could
Speaker 1: you have to pay five to one on Damian Williams
Speaker 1: or you can get twenty to one on Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: to score the first touchdown of the game. I heard
Speaker 1: on a podcast yesterday Warren Sharp was on there and
Speaker 1: he said that Patrick Mahomes on third down scrambles had
Speaker 1: one percent first downs this year on the season. Wow,
Speaker 1: all year a year. That's nuts. Um. So let's by
Speaker 1: the way, for you know where did the rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: primarily come from up close to the goal line? Total
Speaker 1: number of carries for Damian Williams from inside the three
Speaker 1: this year? You love inside the three? You like getting
Speaker 1: in the infrared zone? They do? Um, it's not here
Speaker 1: longf hi. If you're if you're asking me this question,
Speaker 1: it's got to be like five or less. I'm getting free. Okay, three,
Speaker 1: that's it. They don't give the ball to Damian Williams
Speaker 1: at the stripe. Now, Damian Williams did get dinged up
Speaker 1: for a while this year and Sean McCoy was inexplicably
Speaker 1: in the offense, and then they used it out there.
Speaker 1: They figured it out towards the end of the year
Speaker 1: and Lashawn McCoy was gone from that office. Is so
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they were giving Williams these rushes
Speaker 1: at the stripe. And so I'm not worried about Damian Williams.
Speaker 1: Mahomes fully healthy from the mid season knee injury, and
Speaker 1: he scored rushing touchdowns in three of the past seven games.
Speaker 1: Is this a first rushing score prop? First the first
Speaker 1: score the game, first score of the game, and it
Speaker 1: could go to either team. Now, I like Damian Williams
Speaker 1: from the standpoint that he does catch a lot of
Speaker 1: passes and convert, they won't score from them because the
Speaker 1: Niners have not given up a running back receiving touchdown
Speaker 1: all year. Well, they also have in faced Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: this season. It's the point is the point is that
Speaker 1: they don't give up the touchdowns to the running I
Speaker 1: don't have so Williams for Williams to be the first
Speaker 1: one to score a rushing touchdowner otherwise it just it
Speaker 1: seems unlikely because he would have to be the first
Speaker 1: running back catch a reception touchdown. So you're saying you
Speaker 1: don't like this problem. I don't like the Williams prop.
Speaker 1: I like the I like the Mahomes shing first player
Speaker 1: to score. Okay, ma Homes is the first player to score.
Speaker 1: I like that angle a lot. Keeping Yeah, I mentioned
Speaker 1: that earlier, but that's okay, um angle if you can
Speaker 1: find it. What do you think about this? It sounds
Speaker 1: like Tevin Coleman is gonna play. Tevin Coleman does not
Speaker 1: play in games. See if you were testing your fantasy
Speaker 1: football knowledge here, if you go back to those that
Speaker 1: long streak of games early in the season when Tevin
Speaker 1: Coleman didn't, I know where you're getting who got the
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns? It's Jeffrey Wilson. It is Jeffrey Wilson, who's
Speaker 1: so far off radars a lot of times you can't
Speaker 1: even find him to bet. But if you can, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing him at twenty five or thirty to one. That's it.
Speaker 1: I want more. You think I want like, I want
Speaker 1: like fifty two one on Jeffrey Wilson. Now, then nobody
Speaker 1: goes for that. Unfortunately he's part of the field, which
Speaker 1: is a bad deal. That's on the eight to one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't like that. Okay, what's your next what's your
Speaker 1: next bet? I'll stick with the Niners. And their wide receivers. Actually,
Speaker 1: I annual Sanders over under of two and a half receptions,
Speaker 1: and this one's this one's counter to what has happened
Speaker 1: in the playoffs so far because he's only got two
Speaker 1: total receptions in playoff games. Now, how many passes did
Speaker 1: Garoppolo throw against the Packers? It was like six or
Speaker 1: eight or something like that. Didn't throw many more against
Speaker 1: the Vikings. They didn't have to. They were rushing for
Speaker 1: eight or nine yards a clip, so they didn't have
Speaker 1: to pull anything out. Now, the fact that this matter
Speaker 1: is is the Chiefs are a better offense and they're
Speaker 1: gonna make this a better game. It's not going to
Speaker 1: it's not going to become a blowout in San Francisco's
Speaker 1: favor early. So I think that they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: go to Emmanuel Sanders. So the Niners played in five
Speaker 1: straight one score games to finish the season. They obviously
Speaker 1: had the two playoff big victories, but Sanders averaged four
Speaker 1: receptions per game in those five straight one score games.
Speaker 1: So if you think it's gonna be a close game,
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw to Sanders. When it was a shootout
Speaker 1: against the Saints, which it might be here. That was
Speaker 1: a two point game. Sanders had nine targets, seven seven receptions,
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty seven yards and a score. Davis, Humphreys,
Speaker 1: and Brown each had at least three receptions against the
Speaker 1: Chief Davis Corey Davis up to Tennessee. It took me
Speaker 1: Tennessee Tennessee. Three wide receivers each had at least three
Speaker 1: receptions against Kansas City in the Conference championship. All three
Speaker 1: of the Houston wide receivers, Will Fuller, DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny
Speaker 1: Stills had at least three receptions. So we've had We've
Speaker 1: had six wide receivers top two and a half receptions
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks against the Niners. So I
Speaker 1: think Emmanuel Sanders over under two and a half. It
Speaker 1: feels like a lock. Um. I'll give you. I'll give
Speaker 1: you this as more of an intangible matt for why
Speaker 1: I believe you're right about Emmanuel Sanders. You're Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: and you dropped back to pass. Oftentimes your first target,
Speaker 1: the first guy you're gonna look to is George Kittle. Fine,
Speaker 1: but who's next you look left? Here's Deebo Samuel in
Speaker 1: the biggest game of his career, rookie wide receiver, biggest
Speaker 1: game of his career, played at South South Carolina. It's
Speaker 1: not like he was in the A C. C plan
Speaker 1: for a national championship. I mean, or such pros as
Speaker 1: Troy Williamson coming out of South Carolina. Or you can
Speaker 1: turn to your head to the right and here's Emmanuel Sanders.
Speaker 1: Two times Super Bowl participant, one time Super Bowl winner,
Speaker 1: and in that game six catches eighty three yards. Who's
Speaker 1: a guy out of all of the Niners other than
Speaker 1: maybe Richard Sherman, especially on offense. Here the guy who's
Speaker 1: going to be most settled, the guy that you can
Speaker 1: count on to for the moment's not gonna be too
Speaker 1: big for him. Emmanuel Sanders. There we go. I think
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's gonna target him early because he's going to
Speaker 1: be the guy that you can count on to not
Speaker 1: have the nerves, the Super Bowl nerves that a guy
Speaker 1: like people Samuel will have. If you think Shanahan's got
Speaker 1: like pages and pages of playbook that he hasn't shown
Speaker 1: anybody over the last few weeks, all in the passing game,
Speaker 1: well that was Emmanuel Sanders who just wasn't utilized in
Speaker 1: those two playoff games. I think he's going completely under
Speaker 1: the radar. I think he's a nice little play. I
Speaker 1: do too. I love the over two and a half.
Speaker 1: I am seeing it listed at three some places three,
Speaker 1: but I take the over two. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Uh.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has an over under three hundred five yards.
Speaker 1: It's started earlier at closer to like two, and it's
Speaker 1: been bumping up, up, up up. We're gonna go contrarian
Speaker 1: here and take the under. Now. Emotionally, that's no fund
Speaker 1: against It isn't especially, that's it's no fun. But the data,
Speaker 1: the data says to take the under. Let's dive in. Okay.
Speaker 1: In the nine games since returning from his knee injury,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has topped the Vegas number of three five
Speaker 1: three times out of nine times nine three out of
Speaker 1: nine that's it, okay. The other six have gone under. Now,
Speaker 1: when we look at during that span of nine games,
Speaker 1: his most recent nine games, when he's played other good
Speaker 1: past defenses New England, Chicago and the Chargers twice, these
Speaker 1: are defenses that are comparable to what the Niners can
Speaker 1: give you. Patrick Mahomes average game two hundred twenty two yards.
Speaker 1: That's it. Now. The Niners were the number one past
Speaker 1: defense this season, allowing a league low one nine passing
Speaker 1: yards per game. I alluded to this earlier. If you
Speaker 1: take out the month of December, that drops to one
Speaker 1: sixty one passing yards per game and zero point eight
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. That's it. So you know in December with
Speaker 1: everybody's hurt, they're healthy. Now, you know, if he's going
Speaker 1: to get if one sixty one yards is what the
Speaker 1: Niners usually gave up, they can give up more yard
Speaker 1: Didge and Mahomes. It's still not hit his number. Mm
Speaker 1: hmm ma. Holmes doesn't necessarily need pass attempts to get
Speaker 1: his numbers because he's you know, he can throw the
Speaker 1: ball so far down field and everything else. But the
Speaker 1: nine is allowed the eighth fewest pass attempts, fourth fewest
Speaker 1: time of possession. So you just work all those things together,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of ways. Patrick Mahomes doesn't hit
Speaker 1: three yards. I'm still gonna bet the over because it's
Speaker 1: way more fun. It's more fun, it's so much more fun.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out there with my wife and really,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just we're just looking to have fun.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be a big super Bowl. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're looking to have fun, are you going to bet
Speaker 1: the over under on the national anthem? That's not fun?
Speaker 1: Currently said it two minutes. Demi Levado is singing, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: we got some tape on on her last couple of
Speaker 1: national anthems. Didn't sound anything like it sounded a little
Speaker 1: bit better, a little bit better, a little bit better
Speaker 1: than that. Uh in she did the McGregor Mayweather fight. Okay,
Speaker 1: came in at two elve the anthem. Okay. However, she's
Speaker 1: done the World Series three times, really yeah, two thousand
Speaker 1: eleven Game five. She's not a big star. She's done
Speaker 1: in the World Series three times and two thousand fifteen
Speaker 1: Game four. Okay, okay, hit the under all right on
Speaker 1: all of those. I'm gonna go over the average time
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl national anthem in the last I
Speaker 1: think I got about thirty years worth of data here
Speaker 1: one minute fifty five. But pop stars and and and
Speaker 1: star are not all pop stars. Sometimes they're Sometimes there
Speaker 1: are guys like Billie Joel, who went ninety seconds, really
Speaker 1: one of the shortest anthems in a long time. But
Speaker 1: lady Gaga went two oh nine, Alicia Keys went two
Speaker 1: thirty five? Did you really Yeah? Gladys Night last year?
Speaker 1: When two minutes and twenty seven seconds. So the people
Speaker 1: who are hanging onto these notes, it's there, it's their
Speaker 1: big moment. This is the only time she's probably gonna
Speaker 1: ever sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl series.
Speaker 1: Three times, she's done the World Series. There's so many games,
Speaker 1: so I think she holds onto this moment and she's
Speaker 1: ready to go. I set my personal over under on
Speaker 1: my Super Bowl prop bet game at two minutes and
Speaker 1: four seconds because I wanted to even out the odds
Speaker 1: a little more, because I'm so confident that two minutes
Speaker 1: is almost the sucker bet here taking taking the over.
Speaker 1: Now there's this. The NFL requires that, you know, as
Speaker 1: as good as it looks, it's all prerecorded. They take
Speaker 1: no chances on something as important as this. They are
Speaker 1: not going to risk having an open mic on some
Speaker 1: you know, on some artists who might do who knows what,
Speaker 1: or turn it into what Aretha Franklin did in the
Speaker 1: playoffs a few years ago. It might not to be
Speaker 1: a playoff games giving game that was a Thanksgiving game.
Speaker 1: Here exactly right, Thanksgiving game against the Lines. I remember
Speaker 1: it was national. It was a big national stage. But
Speaker 1: you're right, it was Thanksgiving where she churned it into
Speaker 1: like a five minute thing about herself, right, and and
Speaker 1: she's one of the greatest of all time, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, but that's that was ridiculous pros to do
Speaker 1: the end. So it's all record. It's the NFL can
Speaker 1: just say you gotta do this in to twelve I
Speaker 1: mean to twelve. I mean that's still the over. It's
Speaker 1: still the over. Okay, So all right, so there's national anthem.
Speaker 1: You're recommending over on nationally recommending over. It's even money.
Speaker 1: Ni Um. How about Gatorade? What color gator dump dolor coach,
Speaker 1: color of gate color of Gatorade dumped down coach, it's
Speaker 1: specifically the color dumped of the coach, now the winning coach. Obviously.
Speaker 1: How many variations are there? Right, Because you know Gatorade
Speaker 1: could come in many colors. They could mix two colors
Speaker 1: and now you got like usually usually futia, they put
Speaker 1: like yellow and green together as one color on the
Speaker 1: prop bets Um, do I get a pantone selection? You
Speaker 1: do get a pantone deck? Yes, you can do that. Um,
Speaker 1: the Patriots love blue, but they're not here anymore. Nobody
Speaker 1: else has really had blues since the Patriots. Eagles were
Speaker 1: yellow the last couple of years Broncos were orange. So
Speaker 1: there's video of Andy Reid in week fifteen on the
Speaker 1: sideline drinking yellow slash green gatorade the lemon lime flavor.
Speaker 1: I'm sure lemon green, so it looks like mountain dew
Speaker 1: we're looking at. So if you are looking at the
Speaker 1: Chiefs winning, you're going yellow green for Andy Reid? What
Speaker 1: does that pay? Because there's gotta be a bunch of colors,
Speaker 1: right I I don't have the exact odds in front
Speaker 1: of me on that one, unfortunately. But or orange for
Speaker 1: the moderns, Niners or winners drink orange, why do you
Speaker 1: know the according to some unfounded So I'm like, can
Speaker 1: I believe this? But I've seen enough where they're like, yep,
Speaker 1: the Niners are totally on orange Gatorade. And unless everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna mix up the stuff here, I don't think you
Speaker 1: want to mess with success in the Super Bowl. You're
Speaker 1: not changing gatorade flavors at the Super Bowl. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm on orange and I'm on yellow green yep. Final answer,
Speaker 1: all right, I like it that I would never have thought.
Speaker 1: I like to you have done a little research or
Speaker 1: at least your your piggybacking off of other unsubstantiated internet reports.
Speaker 1: If you want to go heads and tails in the
Speaker 1: coin toss, tails, is uh five of the less six
Speaker 1: the super Bowl? Really? Yeah? Yeah? How about this? The
Speaker 1: last five winners of the coin toss lost the super Bowl? Hmm? Interesting? Okay, um,
Speaker 1: And I wonder if they all deferred. I'm sure they did.
Speaker 1: Maybe Chiefs have never won a coin toss and a
Speaker 1: super Bowl to San Francisco's four and two and super
Speaker 1: Bowl coin tosses. But apparently you want to lose because
Speaker 1: the winners keep losing. Kansas City wins the toss. By losing,
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the super Bowl. You've got a crazy
Speaker 1: prop bet sheet that people can use for their Super
Speaker 1: Bowl parties. Everybody gets to fill out a bunch check
Speaker 1: a bunch of boxes on a bunch of some Some
Speaker 1: of the bets are exotic, some of them are traditional,
Speaker 1: and then you can score that and use that as
Speaker 1: a much more enjoyable thing in your Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: then just doing the ten by ten squares, so it's
Speaker 1: thirty seven questions, which seems like a lot, but they're
Speaker 1: they're pretty clear. They're multiple choice there. They're all multiple choice. So, um,
Speaker 1: a lot of them have to do with, you know,
Speaker 1: the halftime show, Super Bowl ads, the coin toss, the
Speaker 1: national anthem, uh, stuff that anybody can get right. And
Speaker 1: then there there are in game ones as well. I
Speaker 1: try to pack most of the the in game ones
Speaker 1: into the first half of play so by the time
Speaker 1: the second half happens, you can kind of sit down
Speaker 1: and relax and settle in the game. And then the
Speaker 1: the last couple of questions are you know, end game scenarios.
Speaker 1: So it's a pretty fun little thing. I've been doing
Speaker 1: it for ten years. Uh. There's a link to it
Speaker 1: pinned to my profile on Twitter. So if you go
Speaker 1: to twitter dot com, slash explosive output twitter dot com
Speaker 1: you say yes, really okay. At Explosive Explosive Out, you'll
Speaker 1: find links to Matt's Super Bowl sheet and I think
Speaker 1: you charge five bucks or something six bucks and then
Speaker 1: people can just photocopy and do whatever they want. It's
Speaker 1: five fifty four through Thursday, five four specific four cents
Speaker 1: for fifty super Bowl fifty four. It's going up a
Speaker 1: buck on Friday and then another buck on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: then another buck on Sunday. So order early, all right,
Speaker 1: order now? Yeah? Okay, good job Hattie, Hattie. I hope
Speaker 1: I think Hattie made us. I think we got some
Speaker 1: winding in the background. Eddie, do you want to say
Speaker 1: anything made a made appearance? Yeah, good job Hattie. Oh,

Speaker 1: on draft mode, yeah, it really is. It's that fast. Um.
Speaker 1: By the way of prop bets, over what where would
Speaker 1: you set the over under of number of NFL drafted
Speaker 1: players that are in the Fountain of Bollaggio that either
Speaker 1: jump in or fall in to the during the draft.
Speaker 1: Where would you set it. I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 1: fall into the couple are going to jump in though,
Speaker 1: just out of excitement, insuberants and stuff. Yeah, it could
Speaker 1: be fun. One and a half. That'd be fun. You know.
Speaker 1: A drowning would really be something that most people would
Speaker 1: not see coming at the NFL Draft. He was a
Speaker 1: promising prospect but drowned in the row on draft day.
