As always, this week, Reg Sussman 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.880 still out with the flu, still tending to that. I 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.480 expect Greg to be back next week and that means 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.400 Jim Day is here. Jim, how are you doing, buddy? 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.600 How did you sleep? Hey? I'm doing good. Brac how 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.720 are you doing. That's Friday afternoon. We only got another 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.119 day and a half to wait for some football. Yeah, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.280 it feels like it feels like it's been forever since 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.400 we've since we've had some games. And I think part 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.560 of that reason was, I don't know if you feel 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.639 this way to Jim, last weekend's games, they just weren't 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.880 that great. I mean, look, if you if you were 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.920 a Chiefs fan, if you were Patriots fans, so on 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.640 and so fourth, yeah they were great for you, but 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.880 like not really any close games the Saints and the Eagles. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.600 To be honest, was it was the most competitive game? 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.040 I'd say, yeah, it was definitely the best game of 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.600 the weekend. I agree, and you're right. It just didn't 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.880 live up to the expectations we all seem to have 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.920 for it because we all thought, you know, all the 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.080 games would be competitive, and that was absolutely not what happened. 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.280 Definitely not. You know, I referenced the Rams at Saints. 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.920 We're gonna break down both of these games, the Chiefs 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.480 and the Patriots as well. We'll break them down from 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.960 betting perspective. I have a few props I want to 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.160 throw at Jim. We'll talk about dfs. You know, guys 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.440 that you could uh save some salary with this weekend 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.760 as well. I mean, we'll get into all of it, um, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.839 So I guess you know, we'll jump right in, Jim. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.240 We we'll start off with the Rams and the Saints. Here. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.960 The Saints lane three and a half points at home 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.280 right now. The over under four of this game is 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.959 fifty six and a half. Last time they met, the 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.800 New Orleans Saints won this one five. They combined for 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.080 eighty points in that game. But something has happened from 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.639 that point to now. You know, I think it was 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:10.120 right around Thanksgiving for the Saints and then for the Rams. 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.560 It was after that thrilling Monday night game against the 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.960 Kansas City Chiefs. They had a bye week and they 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.919 came back and ever since, to be honest, both offenses 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.919 have not been great. So uh, you know, I think 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.400 a lot of people are going to flock to the 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.720 over because they see fifty six and a half. The 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.520 game is indoors. There are a lot of betting trends 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.640 that say, you know, it's like the last the last 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.520 Eighth Dome games in the playoffs have gone over. The 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.400 number easily gone over. The number Um, but something has 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.920 happened with these teams over the you know, the final 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.600 six eight weeks of the season, Jim, where the offense 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.280 is just not clicking as well as it was earlier 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.840 on in the season. Well, there's a couple of you know, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.600 you're talking about betting trends here, and you're right there. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.080 The offenses that have changed. Um, you know, the both 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.440 teams have gone to a more grinded out, running aisle game. Uh. 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.840 You know, basically at the tail end of the season. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.000 And that's what we saw last week as well. We 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.120 saw them come out and grind it out on the 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.360 ground and do most of their damage that way. Keep 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.840 the the offense or at least try to keep them 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.600 off the field for as much time as we can. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.640 And you know, we're looking at this game and looking 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.560 at the betting frends like he was talking about, Um, 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.039 almost all the trends point to the over. Uh. You 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.640 know there's a few. The The over is seven oh 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.960 in the Saints last six home playoff games. Um. The 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.279 home team is a perfect seven and oh against the 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.000 spread in the last seven meetings between these clubs. Uh. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.200 The over is five and one in the last six 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.000 matchups in New Orleans. You know what my best better 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.520 the weekend is that this game goes under. Jim, you 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.080 know what's crazy enough? I was I was hoping that 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.400 you would say, you know, you would just keep pumping 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.279 up the over, and I was basically gonna do what 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:52.760 you just did. I was gonna say. One of the 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.800 bets that I like most this weekend is going under 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.440 with this game because you just look, the Saints defense 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.240 has turned a corner. I mean, like you want to 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.960 talk about correlation with Alright, the offense hasn't been great, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.360 but this defense has come a long way since Week one, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.720 when you know they got you know, they gave up 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.440 forty plus points to the Tampa Bay Bucks. Like there's 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.599 been a complete uh switch in philosophy here for the 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.520 New Orlean Saints. They're not you know, they're not airing 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.640 the ball out down the field. They're not having monster players, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.719 they're not putting up a ton of points. Their defense 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.960 is getting it done. I looked into this the last 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.880 eight games at the Saints have played outside of Week 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.000 seventeen against the Panthers, where they rested everybody. They were 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.640 allowingly just fourteen and a half points per game, Jim. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.560 So the defense has certainly showed up. And this game 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.839 features the number one and number two run blocking offensive 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.960 lines in football. That's per football outsiders, you know the 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.040 grade run blocking, pass blocking. These both offensive lines were great. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.760 We we saw that last week to uh, not not 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.440 as much with the Saints against the Eagles, but with 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.120 the with the Rams against the Cowboys a defense coming 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.320 to that game, the Cowboys have been great against the 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.720 run all year, Jim, and the Rams. The Rams offensive 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.200 line was just pushing them around. You look at what 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.400 what Todd Gurley and C. J. Anderson were able to 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.320 do together. They combined for what somewhat two thirty two 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.560 forty rushing yards in that game. So, I think we 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.680 see a lot of running the football here on both sides, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.320 and you know, kind of playing keep away a little 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.200 bit here. And we've seen long drives from the Saints. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.240 To remember last week they had an eleven minute drive, Jim, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.520 eleven minute drive against the Eagles. I think we can 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.159 see a lot of long drives in this game as well, 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.039 a lot of keep away. I think Jehan McVeigh and 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.200 the Rams kind of want to I don't I don't 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.040 know that he wants to have Jared Golf exposed. One 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.880 might like, I don't know if that's the right term, 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.040 but in this game against one, I think they just 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.840 want to run the football. Is that is that part 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.440 of the reason why you're leaning to the under in 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.159 this game well as Frew reasons. Like I said, you know, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.960 they have definitely gone to a more grinded out, you know, 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.320 running the ball offense, and both defenses are basically underrated. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.040 Both defense pretty good, pretty good, and you know, I 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.920 just expect that they're gonna want to keep the ball 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.320 out of the other hands. No, I don't think the 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.640 Rams want to get into a shootout with Drew Brees. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.120 You don't want to get Drew Brees into that mentality 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.040 where you have to pin him his ears back and 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.840 he has to throw, because Drew Brees is Drew Brees. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.480 You you get him into that mindset and he'll just 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.400 pick you apart all game long. I like Jared Goff 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.520 and Goff would have a good game. I just don't 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.160 think if you're the Rams, that's what you want to do. So, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.680 you know, running the ball, especially with the success they've 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.320 been having, uh, you know, not only with Gurley but 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.760 also with C. J. Anderson coming into town and running 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.840 like crazy. Uh, there's no reason to try and get 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.160 into a shootout with this Saints offense. So the best 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.520 thing you can do is have success early running the 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.080 ball and then you know, use it to create some 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.160 other plays the jet sweep and you know those kinds 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.960 of things coming off of that good running, solid start 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.640 and keep the Saints offense off the field. Um. You know, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.720 as far as the Saints gope, that's the kind of 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.480 thing they want to do as well. And like you said, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.920 they didn't have as much success last week as the 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.320 Rams did, but you know, Philadelphia's front played a lot 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.720 better than Dallas is did, which to me it was 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.160 kind of amazing since, like you said, Dallas was great 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.760 all year, but they just got blown up last week. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.520 How about them Cowboys? Jim Day speaking of the Cowboys 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.439 and the Eagles defenses, you're right, Uh, it's just the 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.960 Rams were able to just push around that defense and 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.640 basically run wherever they are. Uh. So it seems like 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.920 we're both in agreeants on the under here right now. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.640 Fifty six and a half over under. UM, I don't 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.640 think that that has really moved up or down since 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:59.239 it's it opened it. They both opened identical and minustry 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.360 and over under fifty seven identical. That's how he started 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.800 a few trends that I've seen regarding the game the 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.000 side here and we'll get into that now, Jim. We 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.240 can kind of break down who we like um for 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.800 the game. Sean Payton and Drew Brees now six and 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.880 oh in the Superdome in the playoffs in their careers 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.760 together in those games, Drew Brees fourteen to two touchdown 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.760 to i NT ratio. So, I mean that's pretty much 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.720 been the m O four Drew Brees in his career, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.560 especially inside the Supernome, just doesn't turn the ball over 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.760 all of that much. You do have some ball hawks 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.000 on the other side there with a key to leave 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.719 and Marcus Peters. But Marcus Peters giveth and take it. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.679 And we saw that in the first matchup against the 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.400 New Orleans Saints where Michael Thomas basically just you know, 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.640 he run a muck. He ran a muck all over 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.720 Marcus Peters did whatever he wanted. Marcus Peters likes to 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.800 take chances. He liked you. He likes to try and 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.040 go for like this pick six ball. But because of 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.600 that he bites on double moves and he gets beat 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.200 beaten deep for these long passes. So that's something to 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.920 pay attention to here. Also another trend home teams in 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.679 conference championships the last five years Tennan No straight up 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.480 eight and two against the spread. And I know on 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.920 the morning after Corey Parson he likes to he likes 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.520 to push up against Gabe when Gabe brings up betting trends. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.559 And I actually agree with Corey on this because I 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.880 don't think that every trend, every betting trend is created equal. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.160 I mean, there are some crazy ones out there where 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.080 you know, if you if you go to uh, if 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.600 you go to covers dot com and you look at 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.640 like the matchups, they have a bunch of awesome trends, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.199 but they also have crazy stuff, Jim. They have. They 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.199 have like the rams are six and one against the 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.120 spread when running for ninety yards the previous week. Like 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.000 there's some stuff that you kind of have to like. Okay, 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.840 let's let's let's pick and choose what we actually want 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.360 to use here. But I think the conference championship home 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.920 teams tennant Oh the last five years eight and two 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.520 against the spread. I think that does hold some weight, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.440 especially when you look at the home field advantage that 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.400 the Saints and Sean Payton have had inside the super 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.600 Dome over the years. I just I'm gonna take the 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.880 home team here. I'm gonna take Threw Breeze. And you 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.120 know it hurts a little bit, um because I do 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.199 have a preseason ticket with the Rams. We've spoken about that. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.800 I just I think that the Saints are the better 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.440 team here. I think experience comes into play here with 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.000 Sean Payton and Drew Brees. I'm laying the three and 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.640 a half with with the New Orleans Saints. Yeah, I 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.800 am too, And I'm sorry to say because I have 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.760 that same ticket. We lost our tickets with the Charges 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.679 last week, and I think we lose it with the 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.400 Rams this week. But hey, you know, great season no 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.160 matter what happens. But that being said, look for all 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.880 the reasons that you're talking about the experience, all the numbers, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.120 especially Saints at home have been huge, uh for their 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.880 entire career. Basically since Breeze has gotten there, they've been 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.040 grade at home. Um. They love that fast track and 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.880 they have the weapons to play on it. That's what 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.760 the team is built for. So I agree with you. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.120 I think Sean McVeigh will come out with some new 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.960 rakles and try to try to give this defense a 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.679 little bit of fits. I just don't know if it's 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:04.440 gonna be very successful. I think, you know, Breeze and 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.680 company have more than enough to cover that three and 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.400 a half spread. Jim, something interesting that I was talking 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.480 to Dane Martinez last night spitting speeds. You can watch 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.160 the Fantasy Freestyle here on the network. I know Dane's 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.720 got some other things coming up. Has hosted the Rotal 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.800 Experts in the Morning and f s T. So make 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.280 sure you follow Dane and all the work that he's 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.800 doing and putting out there. You brought up an interesting 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.120 scenario to me. A lot of people when the Rams 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.640 were riding high bought in, and we did so before 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.880 the season, but a lot of people have Super Bowl 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.280 tickets for the Rams. Now we're at the point already 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.959 where you can hedge this. Normally, you know, you'd wait 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.240 to the Super Bowl where the Rams are in the 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.800 Super Bowl, and you can, you know, take the other two, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.320 you take the Chiefs and you can kind of figure 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.320 out the math and you can hedge it. Well, we're 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.760 already at the point where if you have a RAM 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.840 super Bowl ticket you can hedge them now based on 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.480 how much you know, based on the wage that you 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.360 have on them to win the Super Bowl. You kind 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.199 of gotta figure out the math yourself. I think it's 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.840 worth throwing out there, and I thought it was brilliant 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.520 for Day to bring that up to me because I 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.760 hadn't even thought about it. But at this point, you 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.480 can hedge if you have a RAM super Bowl winning 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.880 ticket with the New Orleans Saints this week. Oh absolutely, 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.000 And it's definitely something I've been thinking about myself. So yeah, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.559 that's a good point. Um. You know, if you're really 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.160 like us, thinking that the Rams can't get through, then 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.400 definitely taking a shot on the Saints at that point 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.000 is still good business and definitely not a bad move 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.160 to make. Uh. You know, it's not like I put 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.200 a ton of money on the Rams or the Charges 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.160 back in preseason. I'm pretty sure they were just twenty 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.880 five dollar bets, so you know, it's not like I 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.320 got a ton to lose, but I probably will take 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.440 a little something on the side with the Saints just 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.440 in case. I think if the Saints get there, they're 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.480 gonna be hard to beat you. I just wanted to 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.320 get into a few player props here on the way. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.920 But wait before you do that, though, you started mentioning 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.839 about what Daton has coming up. But I do want 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.439 to get this out there that he actually he has 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.560 a new show starting next Monday morning with Joe Ranieri, 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.440 UM called the Make It Rain Show. Um, that's gonna 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.640 be on on starting Monday morning from six to nine 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.760 on the f M T S Y network. So keep 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.520 that in mind, Folcus. Definitely, that's what I was Ferrands. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.120 He's got some stuff coming up. I didn't know if 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.600 I can officially announce it yet, so U but yes, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.640 I mean it's all right. It looked. Hey, Jim, you 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.040 can't cry over spilt milk. It's out there now. So 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.560 weekday morning six to nine am, you will be able 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.840 to watch Spit and Speeds and hear him in the morning. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:35.480 Once again, nobody told me I couldn't. Hey, what's the 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.400 saying it's better to uh, it's better to ask forgiveness. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:43.320 I don't know, sing It's something like that. It's better 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.840 to ask forgiveness and to ask permission. There you go. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.600 What Jim said, Um, I gotta work on my sayings. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.560 I'll look him up during the break, Jim. The prop 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.360 that stood out to me most here was Alvin Kamar 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.800 over thirty seven and a half receiving ours. I think 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.280 there are a few other that you can here. Whatever 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.320 the Robert Woods receptions and receiving yards prop is, I 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.200 think that makes sense. I don't think that the Rams 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.440 throw the ball all that much in this game, but 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.000 I was on Robert Woods over five and a half 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.120 receptions last week that came through, and I do think 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.480 the place to target the Saints defense is in the slot, 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.720 specifically against p J. Williams, their slot corner. I think 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.040 he is the weakest of their secondary. You look at 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.560 the outsides for the Saints defense, you have Marshawn Lattimore, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.040 you have Eli Apple, And I'm not gonna say it's 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.560 all on Eli Apple, but you can kind of see 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.720 like when the Saints defense kind of made that shift 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.240 where everything started to turn, it was kind of, uh, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:42.400 in conjunction with Eli Apple joining their team. So perhaps, um, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:43.920 you know, they were getting burned on the other side 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.640 side of the field a lot earlier on the season. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.960 But I think Eli Apple has made a difference Robert 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.760 Woods over his receptions and yardards makes a lot of sense, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.680 meaning Alvin Kamara over thirty seven and a half receiving yards. Jim, 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.400 we know the past for rush staff, the Los Angeles 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.160 Rams bring with Aaron Donald and Dominican Sue Dante Fowler, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.520 so on and so forth. We've heard this for years now. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.800 The way to beat the pass rushes a lot of 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.720 dump off quick passes. Alvin Kamara, I do think that 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.560 that can happen? Or were there any props that sit 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:13.920 out to you? Do you like any of the ones 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.200 I brought up? Um? Any touchdown props? Like like, who 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:18.920 do you who do you expect to score in this game? 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.600 Because I could give you the odds on those as well. Jim. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.280 Let's see, I think Sammy Watskins is gonna get a wait, 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:30.520 wrong game. I'm we're talking to other game. Sorry, not 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.960 just messing with you. Um look man, trying to pick 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.080 I hate touchdown props. I mean I just hate them. There. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.560 They are so intervious it isn't funny. But if I 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:48.120 was gonna take one in this game, boo, I'm gonna 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.080 take one with C J. Anderson. I like it. That's 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.600 the one. I was looking at too right now you're 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.760 getting him at plus one forty to score a touchdown 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.880 any time in this game. Jim plus one forty, Todd 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.040 Gurley minus one thirty the favorite on the ramp side, 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.720 Alvin Kamara minus one on the Saint side. Look, when 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.960 we come back, we're gonna talk more about this game 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.679 from a DFS perspective, and then we'll transition into that. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.320 A f C Conference championship game a lot to get 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.080 into there as well. We like the under we like 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.840 the Saints. We're both in agreement, so that means none 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.000 of those things are gonna come through this weekend.

Got profits we already touched on the total 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.520 we touched on the side like the Saints blake the under. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.399 I like Kamara to go over third you seven and 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.480 a half receiving yards him also throughout the c J 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.280 Anderson to score a touchdown in this game at plus 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.720 one forty. Touchdowns are hard to predict, though, Jim, You're 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.639 absolutely right. I remember last week every single prop imaginable 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.680 hit on James White.
