Speaker 3: Charge? Have you been a minute on f FW?

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be back. Yeah, we've you were here two

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we had Scott last week, and you're back today.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down the four divisional round matchups.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 3: And before we do that, you want to go there.

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: Let's there, let's talk Sam Donald.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: All right? Now, you were the I'm all for it.

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, you were the original Sam Donald. I don't

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: want to say apologist, but you you were a believer.

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: In March when the Vikings signed Donald, and even before

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: they signed him, you were urging the team to sign him.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: You wanted to see Sam Donald and purple. It worked

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: out that way. It looked great for sixteen games, and

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: then the last two the bottom fell out for sam

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: uh culminating in a nine sack effort. Unfortunately nine sacks.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, geez, nine times, where's I don't have nine

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: times on? Oh wait nine times? Nine time?

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the sad trombone works for then.

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Actually it really does well.

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: I'm not looking to peacock Fantasy football wise grand slam

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: right from the Oh yeah, I said, Sam Donald, grab

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: him last pick in your in your drabsolute But uh,

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: I'm a little hurt as a I'm still Sam Donald's

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: number one fan. I will ride with him until I die.

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: I became this. I wasn't born into this. I don't

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: for ever reason. I always thought he could ball, always

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: been in the wrong. He got put in a situation

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, of course. Yeah, one of the reasons. I

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: bet him to win MVP at ridiculous odds. And he

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: was a great cheap draftic the cheapest he was free.

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: He was free. Yeah, faltered in the last two games,

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: of course. Why is he getting all of the blame?

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: Charge all of it? And he's like a lightning like

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: his mistakes are magnified more than any other player almost

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: in NFL history.

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: You're forgetting Kirk Cousins. No, Kirk's mistakes were magnified more

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: than Donald's. Donald's I believe, but.

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: I think here, I mean, I am Donald. The over

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: under for the Vikings was six and a half wins.

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: They won fourteen games. Yes, Kevin O'Connell deserves credit. Yes,

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: he gets all the credit for the good that Donald did,

50
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 3: all of it ridiculous, zero for the mistakes he fall.

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: I've never seen the head coach gets sunned so bad

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: over the last two weeks, and he quit against the Rams,

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: flat out quit? Did Donald quit? Donald's got buried all

54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: year by a brutal offensive line? I don't know. I'm good,

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: obviously getting emotional. I've got energy drink coursing through my veins.

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: He has nothing to do with JJ McCarthy people coming

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: at me like it's not about that. Kevin O'Connell needs

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: to take ownership for some of the faults of the

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: last two weeks. I've seen zero. I've seen him roll

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 3: his eyes at Donald. Of course, i've seen him blame

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: the offensive line. What about you, Kevin O'Connell, did you

62
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: make the necessary adjustments? If Kevin O'Connell looked like Brad Childress,

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: he'd probably be fired right now. But no, he's good.

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Looking, because he's got because he's got hair, tall.

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: He's charming, he's charmed. Anyway, you can talk more about

66
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: this more. We got to have an episode with Door

67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: and I. You should see our text messages, and it's

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: just he just he's bagging on Donald of course.

69
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: And I know it's like for the draft.

70
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: The last thing I was saying, like at the highest

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: of highs, like four or five weeks ago. And this

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: isn't just a Thor, it's the majority of the fan base,

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: but Thor is the driver there. There's JJ discourse. When

74
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: the vikings are rolling, it's like, can you live in

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: the moment right now? Like the vikings you've won, Jack

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: Squatt when it comes to title, like live in the moment.

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: That never happened all season long. I don't I feel

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: bad for Donald, Like the fans never were behind him,

79
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: even like when they kind of were, they never were.

80
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: They're always looking towards next year. So we'll see what happens.

81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: And there's nothing to do with JJ McCarthy again. I

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: hope Kevin O'Connell doesn't fault JJ McCarthy like you did say,

83
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: im Donald. That's all I'm gonna say. And I am

84
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: praying now that the Vikings don't tag Obviously.

85
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Nobod nobody's tagging Sam Donald.

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: You don't think the Vikings will, oh God, even for

87
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: like a tag in trade. I just wanted to be

88
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: let free. And here's my Ben Johnson, Sam Donald, brock

89
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: Bowers round one receiving weapon. That's what I want. We're

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: going to Vegas, baby.

91
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: I think he could go to Vegas. That's that's I

92
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: think that's one of the teams that makes sense. Pittsburgh

93
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: could be a destination for Sam Donald. Giants could be

94
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: a destination for Sam Donald. These are all teams that

95
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: don't have an in house quarterback solution and don't have

96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: a spot to go to in the draft, in their

97
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: natural draft selection spot.

98
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: It would be fitting for Donald to go to the Giants,

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: right and make me a Giants fan again. Yeah, Giant's

100
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: got the draft slot to take a quarterback, though, I

101
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: don't know if he's gonna go there, But anyway, I

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: had to get that off my chest.

103
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Well done. I mean, it's a it's a passionate rant.

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I think you've you've earned the opportunity to spend five

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: minutes talking talking about Sam Donald. And that's okay to

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: open up a vein. That's it's healthy. We're here to

107
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: help you.

108
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: Pro Bowler Sam Donald, I should say, by the way,

109
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm checking NFL dot com every day to buy my

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl Sam Donald gear, because no matter what you

111
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: think about him, he bawled the f out this season.

112
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: He looked great. Yeah, mostly he did, and till he

113
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: got all due to Kevin o'connelly. Some of them he

114
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: can play, and he can play, yes, so, and he

115
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: can make mistakes. But you know what, every quarterback in

116
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: the NFL makes mistakes. His are amplified more than others.

117
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 3: But I'm done. Let's talk about the playoffs, right, best

118
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: weekend in football coming up right here?

119
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: It is. Uh. The the thing about this weekend that's

120
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: great and better than last weekend is just better. You

121
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: just get the same number of games, but better teams left. Well,

122
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I guess we have one fewer game. We don't have

123
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the Monday night game this time. We're the same. Yeah, yeah,

124
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: we have one fewer game. We have better teams left

125
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: this too.

126
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: There was six games, my man. Yeah, you're right.

127
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: It was a three Saturdays before. Yeah, yeah, it was

128
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: two Saturday, three Sunday and one yes, you're right.

129
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: So there was like one actual game it felt like

130
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: that was like the Commanders and Bucks, right, that was

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: like the one good game during the wildcard round.

132
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Felt like, Yes, let's break down these games, beginning with

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the Saturday afternoon game Houston at Kansas City. Now, let

134
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: me tell you my pre election on this going in,

135
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: which was this, I felt like Houston was a fraud

136
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: coming into into the playoffs, and I expected them to

137
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: lose at this time last week, and I was wrong.

138
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: And it was one sided. Although Will Disley and Justin

139
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Herbert gave the game away. Disleey basically handed two interceptions

140
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: to the defense and Herbert just got annihilated. The interior

141
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: of that offensive line just crumbled. But give Houston some credit.

142
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: They've put together Brian this really good pass rush which

143
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: they had all season with Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter.

144
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: But then they've got these two great cornerbacks. Kamari Lassiter

145
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: is looking like he's going to be awesome. He should

146
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: be in the conversation for defensive Rookie of the Year.

147
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: And then Derek Stingley has emerged as really really good

148
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: former first round pick, and he's become very very good

149
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and that makes me think this game might be a

150
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: little bit closer. These teams met just a couple of

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Week sixteen, and it was a pretty close

152
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: game until the end when Kansas City pulled away. The

153
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: final score was twenty seven to nineteen, but Houston led

154
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: for chunks of the game. And this game's got the

155
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: lowest total of the week and one of the lower

156
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: totals you're going to see in the playoffs, just forty

157
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: one and a half points. Brian, do you think do

158
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: you see it as as as low scoring as Vegas

159
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: betters do?

160
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: Likely because of the weather, It's going to be freezing, cold, windy,

161
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: not a lot of snow in the forecast twenty five

162
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: weather of yeah, less points, But in general, going back

163
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: to Houston, I feel like Houston's got a shot. I mean,

164
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: I'm taking the points all day long. Last I checked,

165
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: it was seven and a half. You go back in

166
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: history as a former Giants fan, I know wildcard teams.

167
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: Will Houston won their division. They played in the wildcard team.

168
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: Teams that play in the first round and get hot,

169
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: they can go on runs. And the Chiefs sat all

170
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: their starters in Week eighteen. They had to buy last week,

171
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: they've been sitting on the couch. So don't sleep on

172
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: the Texans. And obviously you're gonna get into into the

173
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: nitty gritty. Yeah, but I like Houston's change. I think

174
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a closer game. I'm the gamblers out there,

175
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: not financial advice, but I'm taking the points. If I'm

176
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: betting on this.

177
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Game, I would do because you know, if if the

178
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: game's only forty one and a half expected points, it's

179
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: pretty easy to have a margin of eight. I've seen

180
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: this as high as eight and a half. You mentioned

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: seven and a half. All right, let's go. Let's break

182
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: it down FFW style, And I don't want to start

183
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: with Nico. Collins's got my highest letter grade for Houston

184
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: because of the severe drop off in talent after Collins.

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: I do expect him to get a lot of coverage

186
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: from the Chief's best cornerback, that's Trent McDuffie. McDuffie only

187
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: allowing a sixty percent catch rate, and he's a terrific

188
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: tackler who gives up very little yards after the catch.

189
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: But McDuffie isn't the shutdown corner he used to be.

190
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: Like last year, he was almost a death sentence. Earlier

191
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: in the season, he was playing well. Since Week nine,

192
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: he's allowed five touchdowns. You know, that's a lot for

193
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: a cornerback. Good cornerbacks don't give up five all year,

194
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: and he's given up five since Week nine. So I

195
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: still like Colins some here, and I've got a B

196
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: grade on him, But then it falls off from a

197
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: receiving option. It falls off so severely. The only other

198
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: guy I think you could start would be Dalton Schultz.

199
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: On the full season, Kansas City allowed the most yards

200
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: to tight ends and the second most receptions. He put

201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: up forty five yards at a touchdown in the Week

202
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: sixteen matchups, So I think Schultz is kind of a

203
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: sneaky play here. We're not going to like Zavi or

204
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Hutchinson or Robert Woods or anything like that. Let me

205
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: tell you why I don't like Joe Mixon when for

206
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: the majority of especially the second half of the season,

207
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: the Houston offensive line has been garbage. They played well

208
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: last week, but I don't think that I don't know

209
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: they can do it twice in a row against a

210
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: much better run defense. Let me give you some some

211
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City run defense numbers. Rushing yards allowed. On the season,

212
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: they were eighth best, yards per carry, fourth best, yards

213
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: after contact, fourth best, misstackles fourth best. It is a good,

214
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: but not dominating run defense, and I think that's all

215
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: it takes to slow down Joe Mixon, who nine different

216
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: times this year Kansas City has held their opposition's number

217
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: one runner, number one runner to under thirty six yards.

218
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: And I think Mixon's got some flop to him here.

219
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about him. Earlier this year, Mixon was getting

220
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: workhorse level carries win or lose, But then the second

221
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: half of the season, when Houston's been losing, they hit

222
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: the carries have dried up for mixing, including the Week

223
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: sixteen loss to Kansas City where he had only fourteen

224
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: carries in that game. And that could be the case here.

225
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I've only got a C grade on Joe Mixon for

226
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: this one.

227
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm with you there. Yeah, I'm not liking his

228
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: prospects a whole lot. It's uh, the Houston defense might

229
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: be the strongest play if you're playing daily or anything

230
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: like that outside of Nico. Yeah, yeah, I like that.

231
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I like that. On the Kansas City side, I want

232
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: to start with the receivers I've got a bunch of

233
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: C grades here.

234
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: So sorry, cut you off. So CJ Stroud though, obviously,

235
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: oh yeah right, sorry, be bench grade.

236
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: Yep, I've got a C grade on c J. Stroud

237
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: because I've only got the B on Nico Collins and

238
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: a C on Dalton Schultz. And you know Stroud put

239
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: up of modest numbers in the earlier meeting. I don't

240
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: have them in front of me. I think it was

241
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: around two twenty and one in the earlier meeting. Shoot.

242
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: I wish I had that in front of me, but

243
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't.

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: And they had Tank del too. Then, who's coming on

245
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: strong before the injury such a it's a shame that

246
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: Tank Dell human be available next season.

247
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: But that's it's it's very very serious injury for Tank Dell,

248
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: which is a worry. Stroud two forty four and two

249
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: in the in the earlier meeting, Week sixteen, C grade

250
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: on on on Stroud. Oh yeah, here's my notes here.

251
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: Since Week seven, strouts full game average two hundred and

252
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: sixteen yards and zero point nine touchdowns.

253
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: That's it, sophomore slump, the epitome of huh.

254
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. It's it's not disaster.

255
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. Way too early. I mean,

256
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: he was like a top eight consensus quarterback going into

257
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: this season.

258
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we all thought, yeah, We're all like, hey,

259
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: they added stuff on Diggs, Tank Dell's coming back. He's

260
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna get better as a sophomore. I honestly thought he

261
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: had like thirty four thirty six touchdown upside him. Not

262
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: close and mostly inexplicable except their offensive line for Houston's

263
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: just garbage. I hope they put some serious draft equity

264
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: into that offensive line. And if they don't, like, burn

265
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: down the front office because you've got CJ. Stroud, you've

266
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: got to They got to invest in the offensive line

267
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: to give c J. Stroud every opportunity to be great.

268
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: And until they do that, I think you can't be

269
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: upset if he doesn't perform as well as you want. Agreed,

270
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Kansas City Side. I mentioned

271
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the receivers. I've got a bunch of C grades. I'm

272
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna start with Xavier Worthy. So I tweeted this and

273
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: I thought that was very interesting. So Xavier Worthy, as

274
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: you as you know, Brian fastest guy in the NFL.

275
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: He ran the four two forty, Like, you know, it's

276
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: all it should all be bombs away from Patrick Mahomes

277
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: in Xavier Worthy's last seven games, that is long time

278
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: Brian in the NFL. Seven games is a gigantic sample size.

279
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: He has three completions longer than nine yards. Really, that's it.

280
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: On fifty five targets, he has three completed passes longer

281
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: than nine yards. So what he's become is bubble screen guy.

282
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: And then you hope his speed kicks in and he

283
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: can just outrun defenders. They don't trust him on any

284
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of deep patterns.

285
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: Well, we joked about this in the past. If the

286
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: field was only like half an inch or half a

287
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: yard wider on each side, those numbers would be exponentially better.

288
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: He's had so many, just like Xavier Worthy, that it

289
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: is just so many catches. He's just been out of bounds.

290
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: He's lack of awareness just hasn't been there. So like

291
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: the air yards have been there, but he has not

292
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: been converting. But yeah, those numbers are staggering.

293
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Yeah, Now in this particular matchup, he's

294
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: normally speed guy, and you can it could in theory

295
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: be long deep downfield stuff. They don't throw that. As

296
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, I don't know that he can that

297
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: his speed is as much of an advantage against Dryl

298
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Stingley because he's a four to three speed guy. He's

299
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: one of the fastest cornerbacks in the league. So I

300
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: don't like I don't like worthy to have a particularly

301
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: big game. Even though his usage has increased dramatically in

302
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, I've still just got

303
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the C grade on him because you don't always get

304
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the deep stuff and Darryl Stingley could take away the speed.

305
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown is pretty interesting. He played a lot in

306
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: the Week sixteen matchup with Houston that was his first

307
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: game back on the season. Targeted eight times, he caught

308
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: five balls. He's also fast, and in the Week sixteen

309
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: game he saw a lot of Darryl Stingley as well.

310
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: I went back and looked, but he only caught one

311
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: pass with Stingley on him, And I still see Brown

312
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: as kind of a high risk, high reward guy. And

313
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: then there's DeAndre Hopkins, also a C grade because Hopkins

314
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Hopkins wins with physical play and contested catches. But what

315
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: we found over the course of the season is He's

316
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: totally touchdown dependent because he only brings in like three

317
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: and four balls a game, and he gets you like

318
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: thirty forty yards a game. He's got to get a

319
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: touchdown to be fantasy relevant. I don't know that there's

320
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: necessarily a touchdown to be had here. In most games

321
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't score one. I've only got the C grade

322
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: on him. Kamari Lassiter is a super physical corner, and

323
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: Lassiter is going to be on him a lot, and

324
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't love the matchup honestly.

325
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: For Hopkins, you gotta love the revenge game angle, though

326
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 3: I don't remember the I think they kind of let

327
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: him free out of Houston, so it's not like he's

328
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: got you know, an a, but yeah, he always you

329
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: always like to show up against your former team, and

330
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: of course it all started in Houston for Nuke.

331
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: You love the revenge angle, Oh, of course absolutely. Travis

332
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: kel Elsey three touchdowns this regular season. Brian, you're hoping

333
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: that playoff Kelsey shows up. He got held to thirty

334
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: scoreless yards in the Week sixteen meeting, so I can't

335
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: love him here. You're again, you're hoping playoff Kelsey shows up.

336
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: I've only got the C grade on him. Houston's been

337
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: a good regular season tight end team. And then that

338
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: brings us to Patrick Mahomes. I've got all C grades

339
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: on his receivers, so I've got because they all have

340
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: C grades I do have. I've got a B on Mahomes.

341
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: He had a decent but not explosive game versus Houston

342
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: a week sixteen, did one touchdowne hundred and sixty yards.

343
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: He does get his left tackle, Joe Tooney. They've announced

344
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: it's going to stay. He was his left guard, but

345
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: out of desperation with DJ Humphries got hurt, they moved

346
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: him to left tackle and they think they found their

347
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: left tackle the future. He's been great, so maybe that's

348
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: good news there. We will be going replacement left guard,

349
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: but that's not as big of an issue. And then

350
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: with all the receiver issues that I talked about, I

351
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: just I see another like two sixty and one maybe

352
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I've got to be grade on him. And

353
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: then tell me we think of Isaiah Pachecko, Brian. My

354
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: theory is they're saving they've been saving him for the playoffs.

355
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: I have no basis for this except Kareem Hunt sucks.

356
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: He's bad. I've talked about him many times on Fantasy

357
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Among thirty runners with one hundred and fifty carries,

358
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: he's dead last in yards per carry, he's dead last

359
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: and avoided tackle rate, and he's second to last in

360
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: yards after contact. Here's Pachecko with fresh legs the last

361
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: two weeks zero carries in week eighteen nine carries and

362
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: six carries. So Pachecko comes in fresh in theory, fully healthy.

363
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be a continued rotation between him

364
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: and Hunter or do you think Pachecko is in a

365
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: good spot here.

366
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: I'm with you in thinking that they should be ramping

367
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: up Pachecko in this game because if I were too well,

368
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to tackle either guy. But if

369
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: I had to pick one that I had to try

370
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: to tackle in sub zero degrees, it's Kareem Hunt and

371
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: not Isaiah Pacheco. He's the for superior runner when healthy,

372
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: and as you said, he's ah. He should be ready

373
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: to go. He's been resting up and ramping up leading

374
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: up to this moment. He was a playoff hero last year.

375
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: Kareem Hunt, as you said, is his stats have been

376
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 3: good with the underlying numbers is Yeah, so I'm with you.

377
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: Hunt is a guy I'm not even really looking at

378
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: in daily formats. There are other one bee options out

379
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: there that are better than Kareem Hunt. So it's it's

380
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 3: all Pacheco for me in the running game for Kansas City.

381
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 3: I agree.

382
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's work in. Uh, let's work in your

383
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: next matchup, which is the second game? Is the Philadelphia game? Correct?

384
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: No?

385
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: Saturday is uh Washington Detroit? Yeah, sorry, Washington Dright. Yeah,

386
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's.

387
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: Say for for fantasy purposes, this is the game because

388
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: it's the only one indoors bad weather, three other.

389
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: Cold weather everywhere else.

390
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, indoors over under fifty five and a half. Exciting

391
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: players on both sides, of course. So yeah, let's dive

392
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: in on the commander's side first, starting with the running backs.

393
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't give Brian Robinson and Austin Eckler both see

394
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: Robinson had fifteen opportunities that saw carries and targets against

395
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. Eckler saw eleven, so nearly a split there.

396
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: But it was more shocking was Robinson saw one more

397
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: target than Ekler, where you'd think Eckler would have seen

398
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: all the passing work out of the backfield, but not

399
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 3: a great matchup for either. The Lions allowed the third

400
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: fewest combo yards to back in the regular season catching

401
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: and receiving yards. That is one hundred and one per game.

402
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: That is that is not a lot and uh so

403
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: not an ideal spot for either, but in what should

404
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: be a high scoring affair, I do you are starting then?

405
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 3: Were exploring both in daily but I would pick a

406
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: Eckler over Robinson the bat to choose this because he's

407
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: cheaper and despite the targets favoring Robinson by one last week,

408
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: I like Eckler more in that role. So a see

409
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: for both of about Eileen Eckler. If you're picking one,

410
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 3: if you're picking a wide receiver for the Commanders, it

411
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: is only one, and it's Terry McLaurin. Terror a McLaurin.

412
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call him, give him an A grade. I

413
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: gotta get this peacock out of the way. Are peacock off?

414
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: For those that are familiar with fantasy football training camp

415
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: where we take a hard stance, and I've whipped on

416
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: many of these in the past.

417
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: You don't have to couch it. You can just you

418
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: can just peacock away.

419
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: But I said, Terry McLaurin top ten wide receiver this year.

420
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 3: This is in August when he was going, you know,

421
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver thirty ish. Yeah, I believe he finished wide

422
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: receiver seven and that's like three or four major dud games.

423
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: But so anyway, Terry mccluurin, though, coming on hot smash

424
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: spot here in a shootout scenario again indoors against the Lions,

425
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: who allowed the second most catches and the most yards

426
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: to the wide receiver position in the regular season one

427
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety per game to a unit as a whole.

428
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: But McLaurin clearly the leader of the commander's unit, and

429
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: over Detroit's last three regular season games they surrendered four

430
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver touchdowns. Should have been five. Yeah, Sam Donaldson,

431
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: Jefferson didn't drop the very catchable touchdowns on eighteen, Well

432
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 3: he dropped it, don't get me wrong. I know donald

433
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 3: missed him in the end zone two, but Jefferson dropped

434
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 3: a touchdown which could have been five. But anyway, smash

435
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 3: spot from McLaurin a for him. That's why I'm giving

436
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 3: a C grade to olem da zakiis oz just gonna

437
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: refer to him as Oz Islan and Diami Brown. Well, no,

438
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: it's it's it's o Z. It's not Oz. Kingsbury made

439
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: the mistake. He called them oz for like half the season,

440
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: and then someone finally stepped up and said it's Oz.

441
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 3: He hates that it's Oz. He's like, okay, But anyway.

442
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: Oz took a back seat to Brown last week in

443
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 3: the wildcard round against the Aampa Bay from a statistical perspective,

444
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: but he did run two more pass routes than Diami.

445
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: I like him both the same. Diami's got the more

446
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: upside or you know, he's the more boom er bust.

447
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: Oz should be the safer possession receiver. But two guys

448
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: I'm certainly exploring in DFS because they're going to be

449
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: cheap and they're indoors. Again, should be a shootout. So

450
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 3: a see for Oz and Brown and again not Noah Brown,

451
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: Diami Brown. No Brown. I don't even known. I think, yeah,

452
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: he's dead does hopefully we'll be back next year, but

453
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: not dead to us. Is zach Ertz given him a see.

454
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: Even though the Lions have stifled the posing tight ends

455
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: over the course of the entire season. Opposing tight ends

456
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: have averaged US four catches forty yards per game against Detroit,

457
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: who only allowed three touchdowns total to tight ends over

458
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: the course of the whole regular season, but two of

459
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: those touchdowns came over their last five games, and during

460
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: that same span, opposing tight ends did average five catches

461
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: and fifty eight yards. So the Lions have softened somewhat

462
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: against the position, and not a lot to love at

463
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: tight end this weekend. So a strong CE for Ertz

464
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: borderline B in a shootout scenario. And lastly for the

465
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: Commanders Jade and Daniels, a grade for him. Muite allowed

466
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: the third most passing yards of this year two hundred

467
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: and sixty five per game. They didn't allow the US

468
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns eighteen per game. That's not great, that's just

469
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: over one per game basically. But of course, the angle

470
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 3: that we all love with Daniels is the rushing. The

471
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: lines allowed the fourth most quarterback rushing yards this season,

472
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: and looking back as some of what opposing quarterbacks have

473
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: done on the ground, Anthony Richardson ten carries sixty one yards,

474
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: Josh Allen eleven carries sixty eight yards, two touchdowns, Sam

475
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: Darnold in the first meeting, four carries thirty nine yards.

476
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: I had to throw that in there. Of course, Jade

477
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 3: and Daniels ten design runs in the wildcard round against

478
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. I think we're gonna see a lot more

479
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: design runs for Daniels. He is. It's shocking. I mean,

480
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna throw any daily Fantasy sits under the bus,

481
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 3: but they should have priced up Daniels a lot more.

482
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: He's gonna be incredibly chalky going to He's gonna be

483
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: a popular quarterback based on price and just the fact

484
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: that it's indoors and he's on fire. So gotta love

485
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels in this grade. He gets an a over

486
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: to the Detroit side, starting with Jamiir Gibbs, despite the

487
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: return of David Montgomery. Gonna give Gibbs an a here.

488
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: In the three games without Montgomery, Gibbs said one hundred

489
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: and fifty four one hundred and sixty three and one

490
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy combo yards six total touchdowns. During that span,

491
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: the Commander's allowed more than one hundred and thirty five

492
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: combo yards and a touchdown per game to opposing backs.

493
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: In the regular season, Bucky Irving had a pretty strong

494
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: game against the Commanders last week, so strong a for Gibbs.

495
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: Despite the return of Day in Montgomery. There's you know,

496
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: not rumors, but you know they're saying it's gonna go

497
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: right back to the usual split between Monty and Gibbs.

498
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: I need to see that first. I don't see why.

499
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: It's not like they're gonna give Gibbs all the carries again.

500
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna work Monty in. But the way Gibbs has

501
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: been playing, I'm seeing sixty five fives.

502
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that might be fair. That might be fair,

503
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: particularly his first came back.

504
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 3: So I just gotta see on Montgomery. If it was

505
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: if Montgomery wasn't hurt, it would be probably a bee

506
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: for both. But I'm going a Gibbs c. Monty when

507
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: it comes to B for both, I got a B

508
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: for Aman Ross Ain't Brown Sun God and James and

509
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: Williams both of be they're essentially seeing the same target

510
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: share these days. Williams has more upside, it seems the

511
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: bigger play potential. But Detroit is gonna want to run

512
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: the ball in this game to start, you would think

513
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: they want to keep the Commanders off the field, and uh,

514
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: the opposing wide receiver numbers against the Commanders on the

515
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: season not great as a whole wide receivers averaging just

516
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: eleven catches one hundred and thirty eight yards per game,

517
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: so soft bees for both. I'man ross ain't Brown and

518
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: James and Williams. For that reason, I got Tim Patrick

519
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: and Khaliff Raymond on the bench. If it was just.

520
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah one or the other different, yeah.

521
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 3: They probably get to see. But since they're both back,

522
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: they're on the bench. For me, I will give Sam

523
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: Laporta a see. Though Washington allowed just four catches four

524
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: yards per game to opposing tight ends on the season,

525
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: not good numbers, but they did surrender the fourth most

526
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: scores the position eighth, so Laporta startable, and as is

527
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: Jared Goff. Again, it's all about the all about the

528
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: running game for me to start. But if that script

529
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: doesn't go the way Detroit wants, Goff could have a day.

530
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: But opposing quarterbacks averaging just two hundred yards and one

531
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: passing touchdown per game against the Commander So number is

532
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: not great on paper, so just the sea for GoF

533
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: that is by far way stickier than my other matchup,

534
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: I promise, But that was long.

535
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: We were already We've only broken down two matchups so far.

536
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: Well, we're running out of games, right, we might as

537
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: well make the most of our time. But that's it

538
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: for that game. Watch this be like seventeen fourteen though

539
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: or something like that. It might actually be on taper.

540
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: This should be the fun one.

541
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we need to take a break. Well, when we

542
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: come back, we'll break down the other two games. Hang tight, everybody,

549
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: but selight difference, no bench, no reserves. Basically, you just

550
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: draft a starting lineup one quarterback, two running backs, two

551
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 3: wide receivers to flex, one tight end. Four person drafts.

553
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920

00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: play until we can, So head over to gullteen leagues

565
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: dot com.

566
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, please do that. Still plenty of Guillotine League action

567
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: available to you.

568
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: When you do that, would you take first? If you're

569
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: drafted in the Guillotini today? You gotta sit on quarterbacks

570
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: in a four team league.

571
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean.

572
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: It's running back.

573
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's running back. I need a running

574
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: back who's likely to advance. So I don't want to

575
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: take James Cook or Dereck Henry because that's the closest

576
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: game that could go either way. It's only a one

577
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: point spread, so that's pretty dangerous. I would probably go

578
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: Barkley as who is the I'd probably go Barkley, right so,

579
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: even though get into his matches and yeah, yeah, well,

580
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: in fact, let's that's the next one on Sunday is

581
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: it's the early game on Sunday with a oddball start time.

582
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know why they're doing it this way.

583
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: We've all been conditioned into one o'clock eastern starts and

584
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: then four o'clock eastern starts, so you would think they

585
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: would do that here. No, we're not doing it that

586
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: way at all, and I think it's because they want

587
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: prime time games. I guess. So we've got this oddball

588
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: three o'clock eastern start and six thirty eastern start.

589
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: Yes, well, it gives gives me plenty of time to

590
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: make way more bets than I know, I swear.

591
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if that isn't half of it, right, more

592
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: opportunities to get more action at this game somehow. I

593
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: know you just did the last one. But just for

594
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: the sake of keeping these games in order that they're

595
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: going to be played in, let's talk Los Angeles on Philadelphia.

596
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: I want to start on Los Angeles side. I feel

597
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: like the Vikings made them look better than they are

598
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: and I'll be very interested to see what you think

599
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: of of them, and particularly to me, the most fascinating matchup,

600
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: it's puka Akua against a what has been a very

601
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: good Eagle secondary.

602
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. Before before we dive in. Uh, the

603
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 3: snow is in the fore game, yeah, for this game,

604
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: and it sounds like a fair amount of snow. So

605
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: if this game was indoors, it'd be a lot more

606
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 3: intriguing from a fantasy perspective. But uh, you gotta be

607
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: a little wary of the snow. And it's almost like

608
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: you gotta I'm bumping everyone down just a little bit

609
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: because of that, at least in the passing game. But

610
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: as you the afore mentioned Pokinakua, I just got to

611
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: see on Pooka and it's because he's carrying the load.

612
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: Now we'll get into Cooper Cup in a second.

613
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Briefly, I know, right, like what's happened to him?

614
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: But with the snow and just the total concentration that

615
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: you can expect on Puka. From the defensive perspective for

616
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: Philly and just the numbers on paper, the Eagles allowed

617
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: just eleven catches one hundred and thirty yards per game

618
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: to opposing wide receivers. And if you give pooka half

619
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: of that, that might be his ceiling, you know, like

620
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: five catches eighty yards here, not his ceiling. But I

621
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: don't think that's a safe floor. Sadly for Puka in

622
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: this matchup, the Packers wideouts failed to meet that eleven

623
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: catch one hundred and thirty yard threshold as a whole

624
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: last week, and that they don't have a Puka Nakua.

625
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: Philly did surrender sixteen touchdowns to wide receivers during the

626
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: regular season. That is one per game. That is encouraging

627
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: you're playing Puka. But speaking again from a daily perspective,

628
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: I think people are just gonna gravitate towards the name.

629
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm very wary of this matchup. I think he's a

630
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: fade for me, especially because he's priced up high among

631
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: wide receivers and I'm gonna load up at running backs.

632
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: So just to see on Pookinakua and Cooper Cup he's

633
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: on the bench, I mean.

634
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: He's it's a Cooper Cooper matchup.

635
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: By the way, it is a Cooper matchup.

636
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

637
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 3: Here's a real sad stat. One thousand yard seasons since

638
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, Adam Thielen has three, Cooper Cup has two,

639
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 3: the same amount of Kenny Galladay. What during that same stretch,

640
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: who hasn't played into Yeah, and Cooper Cup said Cooper

641
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: Cup had twenty twenty one, that that's really it, like

642
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: he ball like went off in twenty twenty one. But

643
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: people are clinging to that way too hard. I mean

644
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 3: he's he's been invisible, just absolutely invisible. So just from

645
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: FFW grade standpoint, bench but maybe he's such an afterthought

646
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: among fantasy players opposing defenses, something good will happen. Just

647
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: but one catch against the Vikings last week. I don't know.

648
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 3: He might be a dead cat sadly, but I got

649
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 3: him on the bench and DeMarcus Robins and just because

650
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: of the snow and the numbers aren't good for opposing

651
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: wide receivers against the Eagles, so I got I got

652
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: Cup on the bench.

653
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: Can I Can I mention another thing while we're talking

654
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: aim a Cup a little bit. You would think with

655
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: all of the looks drying up for Cup that they

656
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: those looks would be going somewhere else. Right, So you

657
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: know Cooper Cup who used to be ten targets a

658
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: game and then Puka shows up and he drops down

659
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: to like six seven targets a game. Well now he's

660
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: at one and two targets a game. But those other

661
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: looks aren't going to DeMarcus Robinson or tow too at

662
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: Well or anybody else. It's really weird. And Puka Nakua's

663
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: have have just you know, they were high and they've

664
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: stayed high, but just odd to me that they're hasn't

665
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: been some target beneficiary. The tight ends have gotten a

666
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: little more look but I find that a little bit weird.

667
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: What what do you think?

668
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is bizarre, almost inexplicable. So like so for that,

669
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: like you just can't trust anyone at wide receiver outside

670
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: at a Pooka nakua. And I don't want to feed

671
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: into the weather narrative too much, but you have to.

672
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: You can't deny that it's virtually impossible for an l

673
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: A team to replicate any kind of weather that they're

674
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: gonna face.

675
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: They can't.

676
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: They can't open up the practice doors. They like turn

677
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 3: the air conditioning up to like sixty and they're like,

678
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: that's cold. So major concerns with the passing game. If

679
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: Tyler Higbee plays at tight end, he's on he suffered

680
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: a chest injury against the Vikings in the second quarter.

681
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: If he plays on the bench, if he doesn't, Kolby Parkinson,

682
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 3: Davis Allen, whatever, Ragtag uh, platoon of tight ends. Not

683
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: a great matchup on paper for any tight ending. Philly

684
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: allowed the fifth fewest catches and the fewest yards per

685
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: game to tight ends, So all tight ends on the

686
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: bench for LA for that reason and other reasons. Matt

687
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 3: Stafford on the bench as well, although he does have

688
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 3: experience playing in insane snow in Philadelphia for the Lions

689
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: back in the day. I don't know how we did

690
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 3: and that doesn't really matter, but he at least he's

691
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 3: played in snow before. He knows cold weather. But he's

692
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: on the bench. Lastly, for the Rams, Karen Williams not

693
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: on the bench. Looked like he suffered a major injury

694
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: against the Vikings last week, but he did not. He

695
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 3: should be good to go. But per usual or part

696
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 3: for the chorus for any player going up against the Eagles,

697
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 3: not a great matchup on paper for Karen Williams either.

698
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 3: The Eagles allowed just one hundred and eight convoy yards

699
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 3: per game to running backs over the regular season and

700
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: just five total touchdowns to running backs all year, rushing

701
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 3: and receiving. Josh Jacobs did have one hundred and twenty

702
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: combo yards and to score against Philly last week. So

703
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 3: Williams definitely usable in any format, but you got a

704
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 3: tempio expectations there. I'll give him a bee just because

705
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: I like him more than any other ram in this game,

706
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 3: more than than Puka. So a B for Kyron over

707
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: to the eagle side. This is kind of short and sweet.

708
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley A. I should have mentioned these teams did

709
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: play in Week twelve, and in that game, Barkley had

710
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty five rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns,

711
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: added four catches forty seven yards. The snow should help

712
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: Barkley in this game, So Fantasy Fonzie, we might as

713
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 3: well break out the fantasy FONSI. A for Saquon Barkley.

714
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: No shock there, so that is why he is our

715
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 3: one oh one in Guilleteini's If you're drafting like Guillatini,

716
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: as you should be, so A for Barkley, AJ Brown

717
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: DeVante Smith. This is interesting. I'm not getting into the

718
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: book reading of AJ Brown, Bob, but clearly not one

719
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: hundred percent more interested in his book I would. If

720
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: I got to pick one, I'm picking Devonde Smith over A. J. Brown.

721
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give him both a bee, though, despite the weather. Well,

722
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm sorry a c Despite the weather, I'm I'm attempted

723
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 3: to give one of them a bench grade. The Rams

724
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 3: have allowed the second fewest catches to wide receivers. If

725
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: this game felt like it was gonna be a shootout mode,

726
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: I would give him both a bee, but with the

727
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: weather it doesn't. So just to see for both Brown

728
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: and Smith. I like Dallas Goddard more than both of

729
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: the two.

730
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: I really like him in this game. He's my favorite

731
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: tight end of the weekend.

732
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta be he's got He came down with

733
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: an illness. He's on the injury report. Hopefully that's not

734
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 3: a factor. So keep an eye on a Grant Calcatara

735
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: for any like. I might even throw a darted Calcatara

736
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: if Goddard is active because it's it's a money matchup

737
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 3: for tight ends against the Rams. I was betting anytime touchdown,

738
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 3: first touchdown two plus touchdowns on TJ. Hawkinson last week,

739
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 3: who did score one. LAS surrender three tight end touchdowns

740
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: over the last two regular season games as well, and

741
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: during the regular season, the Rams allowed the fourth most

742
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: yards and the second most catches to tight end, so

743
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: a money scenario for Goddard if fully healthy, but uh, yeah,

744
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: keep your eye on Grant cal Katara. I'm gonna betting

745
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: Calcatarra props and throwing a DFS starts his way. Even

746
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 3: if Goddard is healthy, I hope he is, because people

747
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: will be gravitating towards Calkatara if Goddard sits for some reason.

748
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: But I don't see that happening. And lastly, Jalen Hurts

749
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: b Grade, I mean, he's just he's Jalen Hurts. He's

750
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 3: got the rushing he had, uh in the first matchup.

751
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: Let's see, he had one seventy nine one. It was

752
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 3: all about Barkley in the first game. But if you're

753
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 3: playing DFS, you gotta go Jade and Daniels over Jalen Hurts.

754
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts is cheaper than Jayden Daniels as you should be,

755
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 3: which is shocking. But yeah, yes, it's it's it's it's

756
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna be a Barkley game in an Eagles defense game.

757
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: For ray, all right, That's yeah, that's uh, that's a

758
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: lot of stuff right there. My game is is a

759
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: lot to is a lot shorter. I think this is

760
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: the the big money game. Baltimore Buffalo. Earlier meeting Week four,

761
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: it was ravens and a landslide, but that was in Baltimore.

762
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: Whether here is going to be a factor, Brian, Twelve

763
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: degrees and a chance of snow. Twelve is where it's

764
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: Things start slowing down a lot when you get into

765
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: that kind of range. And this game could be a

766
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: little lower scoring than people think. But this is why

767
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: you brought in Derrick Henry, the ultimate power back, a

768
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: vertical runner who doesn't need to make cuts on a

769
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: slippery field. This is you know, in every tackle twelve degrees,

770
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: every tackle hurts more. And here's Derrick Henry coming at you.

771
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a This is why they

772
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry is exactly for a cold weather playoff game,

773
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna run him into the ground. No back

774
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: is eighty seven yards against Buffalo since way back in

775
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: Week ten, and granted they have not played great rushing

776
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: teams over that stretch, but they did hold Sonic and

777
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: Knuckles to a combined thirty five rushing yards back. It's

778
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: likely twelve or something, so there is that still. I

779
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: just think there's so much Henry coming. It's an obvious

780
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: A grade and I still have an A grade on

781
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He had a good but not great line

782
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: in the earlier meeting. He only threw eighteen passes in

783
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: that one because it was a one sided game, and

784
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: they do that sometimes. That could be the case here.

785
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: Low volume could be a problem for Lamar Jackson. If

786
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be all Derrick Henry and

787
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: if you think Buffalo is going to win in their favorite,

788
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: you may be looking at a Lamar Jackson game with

789
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty four passes and then it's hard to

790
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: get a lot of fantasy upside through the air. Aside

791
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: from allowing a Joe Milton rushing touchdown last week when

792
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo is resting their starters, the only other quarterback to

793
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: score on the ground against the Bills was all year

794
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: was Lamar Jackson in the Week four game. So overall

795
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: they were a very good quarterback run defense, but Lamar

796
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: Dingdam in the earlier matchup. Still have an A grade

797
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: on Jackson, but I don't feel as confident about him

798
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: as I do, like say Jayden Daniels. So if I

799
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: had to, like, if I could just pick a quarterback

800
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: from this weekend, it would be Jaden Daniels. Mark Andrews

801
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: a grade here. Did not catch a pass in the

802
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: first meeting, but that was when, you know, the early

803
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: four or five weeks of the season, when when Mark

804
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: Andrews was not a factor in this offense. You know,

805
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: obviously since then he's been a huge factor. He's the

806
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: highest scoring tight end from Week six forward. Buffalo has

807
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: been rocked by tight ends lately. Tyler Conklin fifty seven

808
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Recently before that, Patriots tight ends

809
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,959
Speaker 1: combined for ninety four yards in his score. And before

810
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: that Sam Laporta posted a season best seven catches one

811
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: hundred eleven yards. Also have a B grade on Rashad

812
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: Bateman great lately six touchdowns in the last six games

813
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: for Baitman Flyers, going yes, I you mah Rashad Bateman.

814
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers not going to play in this game in

815
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: all probability, but the think catch with Bateman is always

816
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: low volume and that puts some variability in for him.

817
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: Also pretty good cornerbacks here, Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas.

818
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: Benford great PFF ranking is cornerback six. He's only allowed

819
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: two scores all year and his average game is just

820
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: two catches for nineteen yards. Douglas not as good, but

821
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: still capable be grade on Rashad Bateman, and we're not

822
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: going to go all the way down to Nelson Aguilar

823
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: or Tyland Wallace. Now is Wallace your guy or is

824
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: that somebody else.

825
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 3: The Bontes Walker, That's is your guy? Uh yeah, he

826
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 3: did not see a target last week where I was

827
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 3: hoping you with. But he's just a rookie. He'll get there,

828
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: he'll get there. Yeah, yeah, you we're not We're not.

829
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: We're not gonna Yeah, you can't touch any really wide

830
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 3: receiver outside of Bateman his game. So before before we

831
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 3: get to the Bills. I know we love cold weather

832
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: and it's great for TV and all that, but this game,

833
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: this stings a little bit. This is the game you

834
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 3: want in a controlled environment. I feel like, you know,

835
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: this is like the super Bowl. It feels like, I know,

836
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 3: these teams shouldn't be meeting right now. It's a bummer

837
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: that these teams are meeting this early. They're the in

838
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 3: my mind, these are the two best teams in the NFL. Yeah,

839
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: it's a super Bowl.

840
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, it's basically the super Bowl right now,

841
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: and the sad thing, Brian, one of these quarterbacks and

842
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: one of these teams is gonna be deemed a loser

843
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: who can't get it done in the playoffs. They shouldn't

844
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: be meeting right now, you know, they should be meeting

845
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. And you know, I just I

846
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: the narrative because they're both quarterbacks are battling this narrative

847
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: that they haven't been able to get past the Chiefs

848
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and one of them is gonna get

849
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: knocked out in the divisional round and that sucks for

850
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: that quarterback.

851
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: And this is I don't want it to get us

852
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: too off track because we're running along, but I'm having fun.

853
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 3: One day, what about a playoff? And if they don't

854
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: do this in hockey, I know they reseed, but one

855
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: day they should alter the playoffs, you know where like

856
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: the AFC could meet in the Super Bowl, Right, wouldn't

857
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 3: that be cool? Hide kind of press.

858
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you really want a commitment, well, I

859
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you're really how about so if you

860
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: were to blend the conferences, how would you seed it?

861
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of just gonna be all about record.

862
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking of some Super Bowls, like when the

863
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 3: Bears played the Colts, Like the Colts and the Patriots

864
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: played in the AFC Championship game, like that was the

865
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. So like, yeah, I don't know. I know

866
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: it's never gonna happen, but probably in the sky that

867
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 3: would be cool someday. You never know what's gonna happen.

868
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: Eighteen games is gonna happen, sadly ridiculous.

869
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I don't like the eighteen games. I

870
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: didn't like seventeen. I just want I want healthy players

871
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: and it's a physical game, demanding amount we don't have

872
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: to get in this now. Okay, Uh, let's talk Josh Allen. Yeah,

873
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: b Grade, what are we talking about with Josh Allen?

874
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 3: Uh?

875
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: This is a tricky matchup. The Ravens, who were arguably

876
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: the worst pass defense all the way through the first

877
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: ten weeks of the season, have turned great. So let

878
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: me give you some of the differentials. And what happened

879
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: is week eleven, Brian, they moved there. They moved safety

880
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton to go play free safety. He had been

881
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: playing up in the box a lot. He'd been playing

882
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: in the slot. They had used him near the line

883
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and now week eleven they let him roam

884
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: the backfield and it's really changed this Ravens team.

885
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 3: Listen to this and just before you go, sorry to

886
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: put it into a little more contacts. Week eleven. This

887
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: is following week ten when Joe Burrow had four hundred

888
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: and twenty eight yards more touchdowns.

889
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: They're like, we got to change something, right exactly thanks

890
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: to Okay, something's got to change, and they did it.

891
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: So first ten weeks the Ravens in passing yards allowed,

892
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: we're dead last at three hundred and fourteen yards per

893
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: game allowed since week ten, so week eleven forward, they're

894
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: one ninety nine second best, one hundred ninety nine yards

895
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: second best when applied to a full season. In passing

896
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed, through the first ten weeks, the Ravens dead

897
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: last at two point one passing touchdowns allowed, and then

898
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: since then zero point nine passing touchdowns allowed per game.

899
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: That's number one when applied to a full season. That's

900
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, so they basically went last to first. And

901
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: I think add that in with with the weather here

902
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: and we might see modest numbers from Josh Allen. Now

903
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: he is the perfect quarterback to run on a cold

904
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: field because he's he's a big bodied quarterback and I

905
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: like him running more than I like Lamar Jackson's running,

906
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: and so he might be able to help us that way.

907
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: But his passing line has it opened at like two

908
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards and now it's sitting at

909
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: like two thirty five. It's being bet down because people

910
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: do people do not see a lot of air yards coming.

911
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of with him on this.

912
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 3: I would I don't think this bet is offered anywhere.

913
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 3: Obviously you would get it at plus money if it was.

914
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: But there is a chance that Josh Allen runs for

915
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 3: more yards than he passes for in this game. That's

916
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 3: what it sane.

917
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: That's insane. It is you have to run for like

918
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: one twenty and pass for like one ten.

919
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 3: Well, he only passed for one eighty in Week four

920
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: in good weather. It was a lopsided win for the Bills,

921
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 3: but he was still he's only and this was when

922
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 3: the Ravens were struggling against the pass sixteen for twenty nine.

923
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: So I mean he could run for one forty pat

924
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 3: we'll see again. I'm talking like eight to one, ten

925
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: to one odds. I would take that bet. It's not

926
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 3: an even even money bet by he's gonna rush for

927
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 3: more than he passes for. But he could score more

928
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: Fantasy points on the ground, that's for sure. That's a

929
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 3: coin flip. If he scores a touchdown on the ground, that.

930
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: Is about a coin flip. The only receiver you care

931
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: about on the Bills is Khalil Shakir and he has

932
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: a brutal matchup against Marlon Humphrey. Humphrey is the slot

933
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: cornerback used by the Bills, Buffalo Sorry, the Ravens, and

934
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: he's great. He's Pro Football Focus is fourth ranked cornerback.

935
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: He hasn't allowed to score since Week five. He only

936
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: allowed seventeen yards in his coverage in Week four. Now,

937
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at Khalil Shakir's game against

938
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: in the Week four matchup against the Ravens, he was

939
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: doing nothing and then he broke a fifty two yard

940
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: play against safety Eddie Jackson who got cut and so

941
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: he ended up with sixty four yard line, but fifty

942
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: two of it was on a broken play and against

943
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: a guy who's not even on the team anymore. So

944
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't love Shakir here, and he's my guy. As

945
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, Brian, I loved Khalil Shakir brutal matchup. I

946
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: tempted to give him a bench grade, but just because

947
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of other places to

948
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: send the ball, will give him a C grade. And

949
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: there's no other receivers you're gonna start because none of

950
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: them are regular are a regular part of the rotation.

951
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: I keep thinking key On Coleman is going to like

952
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: have this breakout game. It never comes, and he's not

953
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: getting regular usage. Same with Amari Cooper, who's not getting

954
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: on the field nearly enough. And then Mac Collins is

955
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: getting on the field as much as any of the

956
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: as much as those two guys are. So split that

957
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: up three ways, and we're out on all the other receivers.

958
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, and Curtis Samuel too, I believe led Well. He

959
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 3: scored the long touchdown last week. So yeah, there's way

960
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: too much going on for the wide receivers. I'm with

961
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 3: you there.

962
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: If you've got to start Dalton Kincaid, you could Jordan

963
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: Aikins put up a big game against Baltimore to a

964
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: couple of games ago, but I don't think you really

965
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: want any part of this thing. You know, Kincaid's been

966
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: a massive underachiever and stupid. Dalton Knox continues to be

967
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: frustratingly involved. It's a sixty to forty time share.

968
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 3: In the red zone too. It seems like Knox was

969
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 3: getting the It wasn't a lot of targets, but Knox

970
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: was again he saw a couple end zone targets. I

971
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: recall as a guy who had any time touchdown bet

972
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: on Kincage last week that didn't hit. Of course.

973
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a bench graade on Kincaid. You could

974
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 1: talk me into a sea, but nobody's going to try last.

975
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 3: And that's your play.

976
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: It's not Goddard's my play, not Calcaterra. But I hear

977
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But you know Goddard's line is only thirty,

978
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: like thirty five yards?

979
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, over all day, over all day.

980
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: Maybe James Cook, I don't like him here. I know

981
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: he's great. By the way, his line is fifty six

982
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: and a half. We'd go the under on that. Only

983
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: two runners hit fifty six yards against Baltimore all year,

984
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: and one was not James Cook. In the earlier matchup,

985
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: he had thirty nine rushing yards Baltimore has been the

986
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: league's most consistently good run defense all year. They ranked

987
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: number one in yards rushing yards allowed, number one in

988
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: yards per carry, number two in run defense success rate,

989
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: and number one in yards after contact. And basically everybody

990
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: who tries to run against the Ravens they're sitting on

991
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: dud games. Naji Harris last week seventeen yards, the week

992
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: before that, Donta Foremant Grantity sucks twenty seven yards, the

993
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: week before that Joe Mixon nine twenty six yards, And

994
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: the week before that was another Naji Harris game with

995
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 1: forty two yards. A week before that, Tyrone Tracy thirty

996
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: one yards, all of them averaging about thirty yards under

997
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: their average game against Baltimore, I can only get you

998
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: to a C grade on James Cook. I could upgrade

999
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: him to a BEE if the weather's great. I don't

1000
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: like him in this matchup.

1001
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 3: I don't either. I'm if I'm having to pick a

1002
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 3: running back for Baltimore, I'm sorry for Buffalo. It's it's

1003
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 3: gonna be ty Johnson. Baltimore allowed let's see here, five

1004
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: catches per game to running backs, eighth most third most

1005
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 3: receiving yards to running backs and that is that's Ty

1006
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: Johnson's bag. I mean, they will throw to cook at times.

1007
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, if I'm picking one and if you're gonna

1008
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 3: bake in salary in DFS, of course, it's it's Ty

1009
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 3: Johnson for me all day.

1010
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Ty Johnson. I was trying to find

1011
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: a way to bet, not that I can bet here

1012
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: and I don't, but I you know, I do bet.

1013
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: I do hits on VSA and other things, and I

1014
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 1: try to advise.

1015
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 3: Well, you can always text me charge and I'll put some.

1016
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: Well, I like that. What do you think of this bet?

1017
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: Because I can't do a reception bet on Ty Johnson.

1018
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: I can't do. The only thing I can find for

1019
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson is this. There are touchdown bets. What do

1020
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: you think of this? Last touchdown?

1021
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 3: Now?

1022
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson's the designated receiving back Brian. He gets in

1023
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: long down and distance. Nobody else is near the field.

1024
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: It's just Ty Johnson. Last touchdown Buffalo. If Buffalo's losing

1025
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: and they're trying to throw at the end of the game,

1026
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 1: or if it's just close, if it's back and forth

1027
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: and Buffalo's you know, Buffalo's throwing at the end of

1028
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: the game, which, in a lot of scenarios could be

1029
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: the case last touchdown Ty Johnson thirty three to one.

1030
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not on that? I'm gonna I'll get to

1031
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 3: bed it for us. How's that all right?

1032
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 1: Please?

1033
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 3: Do you in how much we'll split it? Yeah?

1034
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: All the all text? Sure, ten bucks, let's start to

1035
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about the I R S

1036
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: listening at ten dollars.

1037
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no you don't. It's on me. When I'm back

1038
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 3: out in Minnesota. You can give me some of that

1039
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 3: delicious old red.

1040
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all red reserve, whiskey ol red reserve. I'll pick that.

1041
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: You can find that in.

1042
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 3: So he got winning this game? This is I mean,

1043
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: this is the ultimate coin flip right here, the pen

1044
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 3: ultimate coin flip of a football game.

1045
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: It is. I don't even know I was when the

1046
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: playoffs started. I was on Buffalo to get to the

1047
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Then I dug into this matchup and I'm on.

1048
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore wins.

1049
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 2: You do.

1050
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: The tiebreaker for me is just the the Buffalo historical

1051
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 3: misery of not getting it done. I would like to

1052
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,479
Speaker 3: see Buffalo win this game, though I think I agree

1053
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 3: I did well.

1054
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: Just I want but I don't. I I like both.

1055
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: I feel like both fan bases deserve it, both quarterbacks

1056
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: deserve it. They're both great. But Buffalo, you know, they've

1057
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: never won a super Bowl. They have the four super

1058
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: Bowl losses, like the Vikings. I have a lot of

1059
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: empathy for Bills fans, and.

1060
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 3: I feel like, though I whoever beats who has a

1061
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 3: better chance of beating the Chiefs though as well. I

1062
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 3: really want to and I think that's the Ravens.

1063
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can. I can see that.

1064
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: The no offense, Kansas City, but you've had your fun.

1065
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: We needed we need a changing in the guard.

1066
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: The Eagles fan base. We were talking about that that

1067
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: idiot Eagles guy who was saying things to a female

1068
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: Packer fan that was in the stadium that should not

1069
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: be said, and especially ironic because he held a position

1070
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: as a DEI consultant at some firm.

1071
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: And had daughter as well.

1072
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: Right as it turns out he's got a daughter. Tease.

1073
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you know their fan Philly fans are.

1074
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 1: They're not psychotic, I mean, just super vigorous fans. But

1075
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: look at the Bills fans. Bill's mafia. They hurt themselves.

1076
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: They're the ones lighting themselves on fire and jumping on

1077
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: tables and doing all the insane stuff. They hurt themselves.

1078
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: The Eagles fans are all about hurting opposing players.

1079
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 3: That Eagles fan totally in the wrong. But that was

1080
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 3: like a two out of ten for what an Eagles

1081
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 3: fan could do to you. Don't even say to you.

1082
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: And I know it was from I actually don't have

1083
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: been doing an Eagles game. I've been to other Philadelphia

1084
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 3: sporting events, not rooting for a Philadelphia team. But yeah, yes,

1085
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 3: I think he wasn't trapped a little bit though by

1086
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 3: the like those Packers fans went in looking for some content.

1087
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the dude was strapped with the camera. He

1088
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 3: was looking for a reaction. So I almost feel bad

1089
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 3: for the Eagles fan a little bit, but I don't enough.

1090
00:57:59,200 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: You can't.

1091
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 3: No, I don't, I don't, not at all.

1092
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, my man. I did not expect this. I

1093
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna be done in like twenty two minutes.

1094
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: Here we are at the hour mark. Thank you for

1095
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,439
Speaker 1: listening getting to the end of this one. I hope

1096
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: you found it helpful. We'll be back with four games

1097
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: next week. It'll be uh so it four next week.

1098
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 3: Too.

1099
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: Just down to two. How can I not know the name?

1100
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: How many teams are left each runt of the playoffs? Jeez,

1101
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: come on, man.

1102
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 3: So the end of the last season, we got to

1103
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 3: give our official predictions, and for the conference championships, I'm

1104
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 3: i'm I'm calling the upset for the Commanders. Oh all right, Okay,

1105
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 3: Commanders is gonna win. Yep, I'm close to calling the

1106
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: Texans just because I want them to win. I'm gonna

1107
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 3: say because I've got a I've got a five dollars

1108
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 3: parlay where the Texans are the last leg that pays

1109
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 3: ten and a half thousand dollars, where it was Scottie

1110
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: Scheffler to win the Masters, Celtics to win the NBA title,

1111
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 3: Dodgers to win the World Series, all three of the hits,

1112
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 3: and then I bet the Texans is the final leg

1113
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 3: before they traded for digs when their odds went down.

1114
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 3: So five dollars to win ten k go Houston. It's

1115
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. But they got Commander's Chiefs Ravens Eagles.

1116
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 3: My one upset is going to be the Commanders this weekend.

1117
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 3: You got any upsets.

1118
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: I want? I like both of yours. I think I have,

1119
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: I've got I've got chalk, I've got all the I've

1120
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: got all the favorite teams winning, But that commanders went,

1121
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: I would definitely be taking the points on the commander's side.

1122
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a very broken spread. I just think

1123
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: the lie I don't feel like Washington's quite ready yet,

1124
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: even though Jaden Daniels, dude's got just ice water in

1125
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: his veins, so much poise for a rookie, if you know.

1126
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like that that roster is composed

1127
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: with enough talent to slow down the Detroit offense. And

1128
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't and I and the and the Washington offense.

1129
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: It's they just don't have enough good play. I wish

1130
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: they had, like give me one more better receiver and

1131
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: I'd feel differently, or running back for that matter.

1132
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 3: It's momentum is gonna be the X factor for them

1133
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 3: to win. Just that they're they're red hot right now.

1134
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 3: Washington and Detroit's kind of been sitting on their their

1135
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 3: hands for a week. But uh, time will tell. We

1136
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 3: shall see. I know, I know uh Vikings fans and

1137
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 3: in Minnesota would love to see Detroit join the rest

1138
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 3: of the division in Cancun and lose the Washington.

1139
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't have. I don't. I don't know anybody who

1140
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want that hates the Lions, and you know their

1141
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: fan base, long suffering they you know, I have, even

1142
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: though they're in the division with the Vikings, I don't.

1143
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't begrudge them their wins.

1144
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they have been long suffering. But they act

1145
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 3: as though they haven't been long suffering, which is kind

1146
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 3: of been rubbing me the wrong way. And I'm not

1147
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 3: really a Vikings fan, not all you're but no, you know,

1148
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 3: you know me. I'm I'm just I'm a I'm a

1149
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm a rambling men. Now when it comes to a

1150
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 3: I followed Arnold wherever I go, that's where I'm with Sam.

1151
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 3: So for now, I still am the Vikings fan, even

1152
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 3: though I'm the only Bikings fan that likes Sam Donald.

1153
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna shut up about Sam Donald.
