Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are
Speaker 1: now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the
Speaker 1: speeds and spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Next on that
Speaker 1: cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of
Speaker 1: the best yet, Martinez, Do you know what it is?
Speaker 1: It's your boy day, Martinez a k sp K to
Speaker 1: Spitting Statistician a k a. The Stable Genius and vocal Minority,
Speaker 1: and welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right
Speaker 1: here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You
Speaker 1: know what it is, y'all, do save stats over beat cipher.
Speaker 1: We got a good show for you, apparently. It is
Speaker 1: episode three hundred and sixties seven of the Fantasy Freestop Up,
Speaker 1: Big Shot Out, Dilly Dilly to man Danny Otto down
Speaker 1: there in the fantasy pit of misery, pushing all the buttons,
Speaker 1: making us sound good, bringing us all together so we
Speaker 1: can win our leagues and win that cash. You know
Speaker 1: what it is. Here's what we're gonna get into in
Speaker 1: this episode. Okay, first of all, we got a nice show,
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody who's in the YouTube chat as always
Speaker 1: hit me up at Spitting Speeds listening. You know, however,
Speaker 1: you can hear it, whether it be live or whether
Speaker 1: it be later on post taste on the audio boom. However,
Speaker 1: we get down, listen, We're gonna get into two big
Speaker 1: things all right for this week. First, I gotta give
Speaker 1: you my breakdown so far of NFL free agency. We uh,
Speaker 1: last I spoke with you guys. It was Monday, and
Speaker 1: they were like moves happening while on air. We gotta
Speaker 1: recap real quick the big time moves that I believe
Speaker 1: have some kind of impact on fantasy football. And then
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is, I'm gonna give you my
Speaker 1: winners and losers. I'm gonna give you my top five
Speaker 1: winners of free agency so far and my top five
Speaker 1: losers of free agency so far in the NFL. Then
Speaker 1: we turn our attention to the madness. All right. I
Speaker 1: got brackets in front of me, like whoa here and
Speaker 1: what yeah, what's gonna happen? I am in a pool
Speaker 1: entered with my man Danny Otto, okay, and Danielta was like, yo, Speeds,
Speaker 1: can we do this together? Can I get a little support?
Speaker 1: Can I get to get a little bit of love
Speaker 1: from the spitting statistician. You know you are a stable
Speaker 1: genius after all, And I was like, no doubt, Danny,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. All right, We're gonna do
Speaker 1: it on air. What I'm gonna do is, I'm going
Speaker 1: to facilitate a process for Danny, for me, for everybody
Speaker 1: out there in the stats over Beat cipher to go
Speaker 1: ahead and fill out their brackets. Okay, because if you
Speaker 1: real deal stats over Beats, you know I am not
Speaker 1: only giving you a fish, I am teaching you how
Speaker 1: to fish. We will apply that to the March Madness
Speaker 1: brackets in a little bit later on here on Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: big shout out to Jerrt again burning the candle on
Speaker 1: both ends, just like your boy, that spitting statistician. He
Speaker 1: is out here with me at six a m. Monday
Speaker 1: do Friday for Make It Rain, and he is correct,
Speaker 1: he is identified. This is a new time for Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be going seven pm getting it in. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can hear me literally thirteen hours later, you
Speaker 1: can hear me literally again less than twelve hours later.
Speaker 1: I'll be holding it down right here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. You know what it is, Jared t
Speaker 1: all Right, so that's we're really how we're gonna focus
Speaker 1: on uh in today's episode, episode three hundred and sixty seven.
Speaker 1: Been more than a year's worth of freestyle. But to
Speaker 1: recap since the last cipher, okay, because you may be
Speaker 1: getting all your news from the stats over beat ciphers.
Speaker 1: We gotta recap. Okay. We talked about the Monday moves
Speaker 1: last week. On Tuesday, ce J Mosley to the Jets.
Speaker 1: I think that was a big move for them, but
Speaker 1: they lost Anthony Barr. Still like what they're doing on defense.
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills get Cold Beasley and John Brown. Okay,
Speaker 1: it looks like they're getting some toys there for Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Remember they signed the center Morse as well. DeVante Parker
Speaker 1: resigned with the Dolphins. I thought this was interesting, right,
Speaker 1: This is a good This is a good lesson to
Speaker 1: learn because you know, with a lot of teams, it's
Speaker 1: always like, oh, they'll never see you know, be able
Speaker 1: to mend defences, blah blah blah. For the better part
Speaker 1: of last year, you would have thought Davante Parker was
Speaker 1: done with the Miami Dolphins, right, but they're tanking now,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter. They'll take whoever it is
Speaker 1: on the cheap. Letavius Murray moves from Minnesota to New Orleans.
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. It looks like Latin Murray is
Speaker 1: going to be that kind of thunder to the Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara lightning. As you know, mark Ingram has moved on.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about exactly where. They're also in one of
Speaker 1: my top five bottom five. I'll let you know about
Speaker 1: that later on. Teddy Bridge woda we signs with the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. And this is interesting because he was
Speaker 1: flirting with the Miami Dolphins. It looked like he was
Speaker 1: gonna go with Miami for a hot second because there
Speaker 1: he had maybe a chance to start, But no, he
Speaker 1: would rather be the air apparent and Drew Brees. I
Speaker 1: don't blame him, all right. If I'm Teddy Bridgewater, what
Speaker 1: am I gonna do? Go out there and maybe have
Speaker 1: a chance to start with a team that's trying to tank,
Speaker 1: that has no real weapons, that just hired a defensive mind,
Speaker 1: did head coach? Or do I stay in New Orleans
Speaker 1: with all those weapons with Sean Payton as the head
Speaker 1: coach as the air parent and Drew Brees who has
Speaker 1: what won two good years left and they probably made
Speaker 1: a little wink wink not not you are the guy
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. I agree, Teddy, that's the
Speaker 1: right choice. All right, let's keep it moving here, and
Speaker 1: then the big trades happened. The big moves happened on
Speaker 1: Tuesday as well. Levian Bell signed with the New York
Speaker 1: Jets all right in at the same time he dropped
Speaker 1: the damn mixtape, the mix tape Blunt Guts Trash. You
Speaker 1: know I don't like that Southern draw hip hop rap.
Speaker 1: You know about this Danny Levan Bell's mixtape literally dropped
Speaker 1: the same minute that he signed his contract and tweeted
Speaker 1: about it. Talk about cross promotion, but we'll play it.
Speaker 1: It's called Danny. Can you believe this that his mixtape
Speaker 1: is called Life's a Gamble? That's what he did right
Speaker 1: by sitting out all last year. Their references to the
Speaker 1: Jets in this song, this was all crafted, all manipulated
Speaker 1: for of Bell. I've talked about how I feel about it.
Speaker 1: We're now reporting the news right now, but left Bell
Speaker 1: will in fact be starting running back for the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. Remember Blo Powell and Isaiah Corwell will be
Speaker 1: elsewhere for the Jets. And then the big one also
Speaker 1: in New York, Odell Beckham got traded right, crazy right,
Speaker 1: And I've broken this down. My biggest question with the
Speaker 1: Giants here is what is really their plan When they
Speaker 1: realized that last year in the middle of the year,
Speaker 1: when they didn't have a roster to compete, Here's what
Speaker 1: they did about week seven, Week eight, they turned around.
Speaker 1: They traded Snacks Harrison. They traded Eli Apple. This year
Speaker 1: they trade Olivier Vernon. They decided to let Land and
Speaker 1: Collins walk. Okay, they trade Odell Beckham, but yet they
Speaker 1: pay the roster bonus for Eli Manning. But yet they
Speaker 1: signed Golden Tate. I don't really get the plan with
Speaker 1: the Giants, but they did make that move. They got
Speaker 1: the seventeen overall pick now, which I believe maybe dangled
Speaker 1: for a little guy named Josh Rosen out there in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I digress. They get Jabrill Peppers in the deal as well.
Speaker 1: Right then the next day, mark Ingram the Baltimore Boy,
Speaker 1: does that help his fantasy value? He goes from being
Speaker 1: the b side of a committee with Alvin Kamara in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. We all talked about how they're like eight
Speaker 1: mark Ingram there Sean Payton does at least for fantasy purposes, right,
Speaker 1: and he moves to like the number one rushing team
Speaker 1: in the NFL, a team that you know wants to
Speaker 1: run the ball probably more than anybody else. With Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson on the center. Great things from mark Ingram. Baltimore
Speaker 1: wasn't done though. Middle of the week they signed Earl Thomas. Okay,
Speaker 1: they signed Earl Thomas to be the back end of
Speaker 1: that deferense. Remember they let Eric wedd Will go. Then
Speaker 1: they go ahead and signed Earl Thomas. Terrell Williams get
Speaker 1: signed to Oakland. That's interesting. The Raiders are not joking
Speaker 1: around all right, Antonio Brown Tyrrell Williams formerly of the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers, making them a formidable wide receiver pair.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, what that also means you leave Terrell
Speaker 1: Williams off the Chargers. You got keen down on one side.
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Big Mike Williams, who ascended towards the second
Speaker 1: half of last year. Keep an eye on him. I
Speaker 1: think Mike williams ascension continues. All right, Tevin Coleman got
Speaker 1: signed by the San Francisco forty Niners. That is a
Speaker 1: very interesting deal, based on Kyle Shanahan out there, based
Speaker 1: on their previous experience, and based on the rest of
Speaker 1: that running back room. I'll talk about that in a minute.
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor to the Chargers. Adrian Peterson resigns with Washington.
Speaker 1: That I will mention a little bit later on in
Speaker 1: my Top Winners and Losers. Dante Moncrief to the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: leaving even less options for a guy like Nick Foles
Speaker 1: out there in Jacksonville. It's gonna be Marka's Lee, D. D. Westbrook,
Speaker 1: and not a whole lot else out there. Golden Tate,
Speaker 1: what I mentioned, goes to the Giants. And if you're
Speaker 1: the Giants and with some of these trades letting Land
Speaker 1: in Collins Walk, weren't you in fact like declaring that
Speaker 1: you or we building, then why are you gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and spend four years of money on Golden Tate.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that one either. All Right, Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. Remember they were definitely in the wide
Speaker 1: receiver market. They come up empty. Getting Jordan Matthews. When
Speaker 1: they were talking about Antonio Brown, they were talking about
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, they were connected to some other big wide
Speaker 1: receiver names like Taton Tyrrell. They wind up with Jordan Matthews. It.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, um when it comes to
Speaker 1: the San Francisco offense. Then later in the week over
Speaker 1: the weekend, big move Miami Dolphins after flirting with Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater and not being able to do it. You knew
Speaker 1: they were going to clear the books of this. I
Speaker 1: have been telling you this was going to happen for
Speaker 1: a while, Teddy. Um, excuse me. Teddy Bridgewater does not
Speaker 1: sign with Miami. But then Miami goes ahead and trades
Speaker 1: their current starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: This is interesting because it again declares the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: are tanking. The Miami Dolphins are trying to have the
Speaker 1: number one overall picks so they can have two of
Speaker 1: Taigulova or Justin Herbert next year in the draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins go right now to their season win total.
Speaker 1: Take the under. They are not even trying to win
Speaker 1: in the new head coaches first year. Okay, they are
Speaker 1: going to go three and thirteen. Look me in the eye.
Speaker 1: I told you last week before the old Dell Beckham trade.
Speaker 1: I told you last week. Jilly Dilley has the notes.
Speaker 1: I told you I thought the Browns would be the
Speaker 1: favorites to win the a f C North fast forward,
Speaker 1: not months at a time, not until after the draft.
Speaker 1: Just a week later, mf's out here are talking about
Speaker 1: the Browns as Super Bowl contenders. Everybody's like, oh, of
Speaker 1: course they're gonna win the division. Your boys speeds. The
Speaker 1: spitting statistician has been saying that for weeks, told you
Speaker 1: to go get the number when you still could, when
Speaker 1: they weren't even the favorites. That's how you win a
Speaker 1: little bit of piche. You listen to the spitting statistician
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle with the Status over Beat cipher.
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley has the notes. I was telling y'all the
Speaker 1: Browns should win the division, would be division favorites before
Speaker 1: they actually were. This is how you get rich with
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle. I you know what it is, all right,
Speaker 1: Tannehill gets traded to Tennessee. Al right. I think it's
Speaker 1: interesting it declares that the Dolphins are absolutely tanking. And
Speaker 1: what it also does is it puts a little pressure
Speaker 1: from Marcus Mariota in Tennessee. All right, and then also
Speaker 1: remember the NFL came out Kareem Hunt suspended for eight games.
Speaker 1: Remember the Browns, in a what now is being looked
Speaker 1: at as a shrewd move, signed Kareem Hunt to a
Speaker 1: two year deal. He's gonna come back for them week nine,
Speaker 1: adding to the weaponry of the Cleveland Browns. Okay, and
Speaker 1: let's go into it right now. The Browns are the
Speaker 1: number one winner of free agency so far. Right now, listen,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Kareem Hunt. Remember they got Olivier Vernon from
Speaker 1: that front seven, They they signed Sheldon Richardson. Okay, they
Speaker 1: are now a destination. They are doing it in the
Speaker 1: way I told you was good. Okay. They kicked the
Speaker 1: can down the road. Accumulate draft capital and picks, accumulate
Speaker 1: salary cap room until you get the quarterback. Then you
Speaker 1: go all in. And that's what they're doing. They realize
Speaker 1: that they've got their guy. His name is Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: and he is dangerous. Now they are doing everything they
Speaker 1: possibly can to when the iron is hot, support him.
Speaker 1: Brown's my number one winners a free agency. I was
Speaker 1: telling you, listen, I'm not even saying and I was
Speaker 1: early with them. I told you they wouldn't seven games
Speaker 1: last year. I told you they'd be a division favorite
Speaker 1: this year. I'm early with them. I don't think the
Speaker 1: Browns are going to the super Bowl. I don't think
Speaker 1: the Browns will win the a f C Championship. I
Speaker 1: do think they're a playoff team. I do think they
Speaker 1: are live in the a f C North. As I
Speaker 1: believe the Steelers take a step back, as I believe
Speaker 1: the Ravens take a step back. They are winners for me.
Speaker 1: You know who else is a winner for me? The
Speaker 1: players in general. Odell Beckham renegotiating the guaranteed money in
Speaker 1: his contract, Antonio Brown, Levy on Bell, all these players
Speaker 1: taking their ances and proving and winning. In fact, this
Speaker 1: is a new day for the players. There are new
Speaker 1: ways for them to negotiate. I think the players on
Speaker 1: the whole are winners so far in free agency. My
Speaker 1: number three spot and winners. I gotta tell you. The Jets,
Speaker 1: all right, they are in the same way that the
Speaker 1: Browns are trying to support Baker Mayfield. The Jets are
Speaker 1: trying to support Sam Donald in the same way. This
Speaker 1: is the blueprint. These are the teams that are on it.
Speaker 1: The Browns are, so are the Jets. They get very similar.
Speaker 1: The Jets upgraded offensive line, trading for Ossemile, getting a
Speaker 1: playmaker in Levi on Bell, getting the slot receiver, and
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder. Okay, they are prioritizing their support of Sam Donald.
Speaker 1: I like it, Okay, stock up. Let me also give
Speaker 1: you a couple of fantasy players have dramatically improved so
Speaker 1: far because of free agency. The first is mark Ingram.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's going from New Orleans, which was
Speaker 1: a pass you know what, Drew Brees, although they did
Speaker 1: like to run the ball, splitting work with Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: Now he goes to Baltimore, the most run heavy team
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. No Gus Edwards anymore. They
Speaker 1: are going to run it with mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram's fantasy stock skyrockets to me. Also, Pittsburgh just
Speaker 1: lost Levy on Bell. Pittsburgh just lost Antonio Brown. Ju
Speaker 1: Ju is gonna get some coverage. James Conner, we know
Speaker 1: about you know who I like. I've been talking about
Speaker 1: him all year. Vance McDonald is my guy, all right.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about Vance McDonald. They lost Jesse James
Speaker 1: as well. I think Vance McDonald is gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot more targets. I think his fantasy stock goes up.
Speaker 1: You know who else I like stock up? The Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: Don't look now, people, but the Buffalo Bills are doing
Speaker 1: the same damn thing that the New York Jets are
Speaker 1: doing in that division. I have talked about this for
Speaker 1: a while. They're setting themselves up to be on the
Speaker 1: ascent when Tom Brady walks away. Look at what the
Speaker 1: Bills did, very similar to the Jets. They go out
Speaker 1: and sign Morrise the center. They upgrade the offensive line,
Speaker 1: just like the Jets. They go out and get Cole Beasley,
Speaker 1: John Smoke Brown, Frank Gore playmakers out there to suit
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Just like Crowder and Bell suit Donald trying
Speaker 1: to support their young quarterback. The Bills, low key, are
Speaker 1: doing the same kind of move, supporting their young ascending quarterback,
Speaker 1: their second year quarterback, just like the Jets are doing
Speaker 1: with Donald, just like the Browns are doing with Baker.
Speaker 1: All of those guys believe it should be on the
Speaker 1: rise I've got losers though as well. All Right, we've
Speaker 1: only got a minute until the break, all right, But losers.
Speaker 1: The Steelers I've talked about, they've lost their taking a
Speaker 1: step back. The Ravens, I think they are taking a
Speaker 1: step back. The Giants, they have no plan. I talked
Speaker 1: to you about this. You trade snacks, you trade Eli Apple,
Speaker 1: you let Collins walk, but you draft say Kwan at
Speaker 1: number two when you could have had the quarterback. Then.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are doing. And also, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. The Jags and Nick Foles I
Speaker 1: think are losers. Nick Foles is gonna get exposed. Nick
Speaker 1: Foles had some great games with the Eagles in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but he's just an average quarterback. And they paid him
Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars over four years. After this honeymoon,
Speaker 1: when they're like, oh my god, he's not Blake Bortles. Amen.
Speaker 1: Once that runs out and he's just the nick quarterback,
Speaker 1: you're gonna realize that you're still in quarterback purgatory for
Speaker 1: another few years. And now you got eight eight million
Speaker 1: dollars tied up into Nick Foles. Listen up when we
Speaker 1: come back here on Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna do is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring him a man, dani Atto. We gonna
Speaker 1: pick these brackets with the stats Overbeat Cipher. You know
Speaker 1: what it is to boy speeds. It's been statisticians, stable,
Speaker 1: genius and both the minority. Fantasy Freestyle Episode three sixties seven,
Speaker 1: Come on back, Dilley, Dilley, you heard. Hey, Thanks for

Speaker 1: Enjoy the show and thanks for listening. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'll pp Danny, Yeah, you know, yeah, you know me.
Speaker 1: Do you know what it is? Fantasy Freestyle getting back
Speaker 1: into an episode three sixty seven, big shout out to
Speaker 1: the Status over Beat Cipher. We got Brian c up
Speaker 1: in there, we got jerrt Up in their dfs anonymous,
Speaker 1: no df it's anonymous as Philly should have gotten Ingram
Speaker 1: or Bell. And while that is possible. You know, they
Speaker 1: were playing in that big time pool. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're done yet Philly. Okay, and listen, with every signing
Speaker 1: becomes new, new people become available. All right, Leve Bell
Speaker 1: gets signed to the Jets. All of a sudden, Isaiah
Speaker 1: co Well is out of a job. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Not to say that Isaiah co Well is
Speaker 1: the answer in Philadelphia specifically, but you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The merry go round continues. Keep an eye out. I
Speaker 1: believe that the Buffalo Bills are gonna move on from
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. I believe that the Chicago Bears are gonna
Speaker 1: move on for Jordan Howard. This is not done yet,
Speaker 1: all right there, So when you talk about that DFS anonymous,
Speaker 1: Philly will still be able to maybe get their running back.
Speaker 1: They may also try to address it in the draft
Speaker 1: as well. Jerr T asked me if Mariota is even
Speaker 1: better than Tannehill. I believe so. I think Tannehill is
Speaker 1: blank out trash. I believe Mariota is better than him.
Speaker 1: I believe Mariota has been in something like three offensive
Speaker 1: coordinators in his four years. I believe he was there
Speaker 1: with Jeff Fisher. We all know how that works out.
Speaker 1: He was there with it when the team was literally
Speaker 1: nicknamed Exotic smashed Mouth. It got Corey Davis from a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. What weapons has he really ever had?
Speaker 1: De Laney Walker? Are you kidding me? So? I do
Speaker 1: believe that he is better, But you know the time
Speaker 1: is now ticking for even Mariota in Tennessee. All right, Danny,
Speaker 1: let's do it. We're gonna get mad right now. You're
Speaker 1: ready to get madness? All right, So here's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. And I told everybody we are not giving
Speaker 1: you fish. We are teaching you how to fish. And
Speaker 1: this is what I think it's important because check it out, Danny.
Speaker 1: I got a poll question up on Twitter, right, and
Speaker 1: my question I was asking people, is in your office
Speaker 1: pools and stuff like that? With March Madness coming up?
Speaker 1: How many brackets are you entering? Danny? And my choices?
Speaker 1: I said, people one and only one? I said, are
Speaker 1: you entering two? So you have some options? Are you
Speaker 1: entering more than two? Or are you entering zero? Saying
Speaker 1: like I only bet the games, right, I don't do
Speaker 1: it at all? What do you think is leading the poll? Right?
Speaker 1: Now Danny more than two, correct, more than two, has
Speaker 1: fifty of the vote. Thanks to everybody out there who's
Speaker 1: voting at spitting speeds on social media. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: I hear he's a good follow all right, Danny picking
Speaker 1: more than two. So that's why for me to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I like, these teams ain't gonna help you, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Danny? I want to give people a
Speaker 1: methodology here that I think will be helpful for them.
Speaker 1: So you with me, and then you're gonna apply. And
Speaker 1: you got your brackets down there too, right, you got
Speaker 1: an empty sheet, all right. So here's what's gonna do, Danny.
Speaker 1: The first things you need to know. First of all,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this analogy. You know how during football season, Danny,
Speaker 1: I give out my DFS lineup, yeah, right? And you
Speaker 1: know how sometimes I say, like, there are some studs
Speaker 1: you put in. Sometimes you put like at Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: in your DFS lineup. Sometimes you put a Zeke Elliott
Speaker 1: or you know, Julio Jones in your DFS lineup? Right,
Speaker 1: you have studs, right, Okay, So here's the point I
Speaker 1: gotta make to you, Danny. Unlike most other years, I
Speaker 1: believe the one and the two seeds, Danny, this year,
Speaker 1: the blue bloods, the top ones, the ones and two
Speaker 1: seeds in this bracket. I believe they are Legitimately there
Speaker 1: is a gap. They are better than everyone else. Okay.
Speaker 1: So those are your high price talent guys. Okay, Danny,
Speaker 1: those are like your blue Those are like your levy
Speaker 1: On bells. Okay, those are your Todd Gurley's. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna address just like filling out a DFS lineup. We're
Speaker 1: gonna address these in stages. And the first stage we're
Speaker 1: gonna address is the big boys. Okay, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: our high price things in there first. Alright, here's how
Speaker 1: I want to do with Danny in the East. All Right, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're in the East. See the one seed is Duke,
Speaker 1: the two seeds Michigan State. Right then we got l
Speaker 1: s U and all the way down. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, Duke and Michigan State are the class
Speaker 1: of this region. Duke probably more so. Okay, So we're
Speaker 1: filling out three brackets. In general, if you're filling out
Speaker 1: more than two brackets, which fifty percent of you are,
Speaker 1: you need to have over fifty of them with Duke
Speaker 1: in the final four. Do you feel with me, Danny,
Speaker 1: you need to have them the other one. Let's say
Speaker 1: you're doing three like we are, Danny, We're gonna have
Speaker 1: Duke in the final four on two of them, maybe
Speaker 1: Michigan State as one of them. But there is a
Speaker 1: big time gap year, we believe, all right. So we're
Speaker 1: going Duke in Michigan State, covering our bases with our
Speaker 1: multi sheets here, Okay. In the South, same thing. The
Speaker 1: one in the two seeds are in my opinion, light
Speaker 1: years above the rest. Okay, So that's Virginia and Tennessee.
Speaker 1: So we're splitting them up evenly into the final four
Speaker 1: with me. Yep, so far. I don't know what note
Speaker 1: you gotta take, but you with me so far? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I told you it was about the heat map. In
Speaker 1: the Midwest, the one seed is Carolina, the two seed
Speaker 1: is Kentucky. I do not believe in the three seed
Speaker 1: Houston to make a huge run. We do not like
Speaker 1: the four seed Kansas to make a huge run. Same
Speaker 1: kind of thing, Danny. We're leaning towards Carolina though, over Kentucky,
Speaker 1: all right. So we're leaning Duke over Michigan State. We're
Speaker 1: leaning Carolina over in Kentucky with U v A and Tennessee,
Speaker 1: it's more straight down the middle, all right, and form
Speaker 1: toward the big boys. And with the West. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, Danny, I don't necessarily believe in Gonzaga, alright.
Speaker 1: So the West might be the region if you want
Speaker 1: to sneak a team been there, if you want to
Speaker 1: have your surprise, that might be where you sneak a
Speaker 1: guy in if you want to get cute with it,
Speaker 1: all right, Danny, we'll talk about that a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. Okay, So are you with me so far?
Speaker 1: And where are we putting some of these big boys,
Speaker 1: and how we're breaking down the big boys? Then, just
Speaker 1: like doing a DFS line up, Danny, then there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some values every week. Right, there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: values every week in DFS, just like that. When it
Speaker 1: comes to much madness. I always say this, you've got
Speaker 1: a zig win people's egg. So you have to pick
Speaker 1: the upsets. You have to get some upsets that you like,
Speaker 1: all right, Danny. So I'm gonna tell you, region by region,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you some teams that I like that
Speaker 1: you can put in that upset spot because maybe everyone
Speaker 1: has Duke, maybe everyone has Carolina and Kentucky and Gonzaga. Right,
Speaker 1: And that's what I think is gonna happen. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to have the chalk. You're gonna have to have
Speaker 1: the top seeds up there ultimately because there is a
Speaker 1: gap between the cream and the crop and the rest. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be many like five seeds
Speaker 1: getting in or it's the final war. We're making a
Speaker 1: big time run, Okay, so we need to have the
Speaker 1: cream rise to the top eventually, which means we're gonna
Speaker 1: make our Hey, with some of these upsets, that's just
Speaker 1: being like, oh this fifty there's five thousand dollar player
Speaker 1: on DraftKings, is gonna be great this week? There's an injury.
Speaker 1: People don't know about this guy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So that's the one we're gonna look at in these regions, now,
Speaker 1: Danny Filmy, Yeah, all right, what region you want to
Speaker 1: start with, Danny, Let's let's start with the East. All right.
Speaker 1: In the East, let me tell you something. L S,
Speaker 1: you just lost their coach, Danny, l S, you just
Speaker 1: lost their coach to a scandal about recruiting kids and
Speaker 1: paying them too much. All right, Yale is a team
Speaker 1: that doesn't turn the ball over. Yale is a team
Speaker 1: that quote unquote, you know they're they're Ivy League kids.
Speaker 1: You know they're white boys. They play the right way.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about that? All right, So listen,
Speaker 1: I think it's possible here, not probable, but possible. This
Speaker 1: is the craziest upset I'm gonna give you all tournament.
Speaker 1: It's possible to see the fourteen over the three here,
Speaker 1: yell over L s U. Possible. Lett For all you
Speaker 1: people who are doing multiple brackets and judging by the poll,
Speaker 1: half of you are, you need to have some shares
Speaker 1: of Yale. You need to have some shares of Yale
Speaker 1: over L s U. Danny. You also need to have
Speaker 1: some shares of Liberty over Mississippi State, Danny, the twelves
Speaker 1: over the fives. All right, so we're gonna split that up.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some shares of liberty. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: some shares of Yale in the eight nine game. V
Speaker 1: c U, I believe is a better team than you see.
Speaker 1: If we can clean sweep it with VCU Okay. The
Speaker 1: last thing I'll tell you is, you know there's that
Speaker 1: playing game Belmont and Temple. I think either one of
Speaker 1: them can out do Maryland if they get in. I
Speaker 1: think Belmont has been good all year. I think there's
Speaker 1: something like twenty eight and five. They've only lost like
Speaker 1: five games all year, all be here from the mid Major.
Speaker 1: And Temple has the person the heartstrings going Fran Dumphy's
Speaker 1: last year, they were a good eight ten school. I
Speaker 1: think both of these teams, whoever gets in will also
Speaker 1: have one on you know, like um Tuesday or Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so they got a little momentum. I think the eleven
Speaker 1: seed can at ants there. Okay, Danny, So mix them
Speaker 1: up in a pot. I like the twelve Liberty. I
Speaker 1: like the eleven Belmont or a Temple to do some
Speaker 1: work against Marlon, and I like the fourteen yell in
Speaker 1: the East as upsets. Okay, sounds good, So we can
Speaker 1: mix them in a pot. You feel what we're doing here, Danny,
Speaker 1: definitely love it. Where do you want to go next?
Speaker 1: Let's get the South. In the South, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. Oh here's something that I like in the South.
Speaker 1: Pro tip here, all right, this speeds of spitting statisticians
Speaker 1: a little special in the South region because I like
Speaker 1: Virginia so much, you know what I mean, Danny. I
Speaker 1: like Virginia. They're gonna steamroll their way to either the
Speaker 1: Elite eight or the Final four. What I like to
Speaker 1: do in those cases, Danny, when I know I'm taking
Speaker 1: the chalk anyway, I like to with the rest of
Speaker 1: that little mini bracket, you know what I mean. How
Speaker 1: they're all it's all like a series of little or
Speaker 1: team little mini brackets, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: because I like you Virginia to definitely make the final
Speaker 1: four on many of my brackets and only would lose
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to Tennessee in the Elite eight, that
Speaker 1: means that when it gets of the Sweet sixteen in
Speaker 1: the second in the first and second round opposite Virginia,
Speaker 1: that's where we can play. That's where we can have
Speaker 1: a little fun. Okay. And I like these upsets anyway.
Speaker 1: I like Oregon. They are an elite defensive team. They
Speaker 1: lost their they lost their best player early in the season.
Speaker 1: He was supposed to be a lottery traff pick named
Speaker 1: Bold Bowl. I kid you not, Danny. His name was
Speaker 1: Bold Bull He was the son of former NBA player
Speaker 1: Minute Ball Old Ball I was seven ft four, Danny, right,
Speaker 1: he was gonna be a lottery pick. They lost him
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. They they they got
Speaker 1: question of a lot of games right after they lost him.
Speaker 1: They're starting to figure out how to play, and they
Speaker 1: are coming off now, just winning out of nowhere the
Speaker 1: Pac twelve Tournament. They're a good defensive team. I like
Speaker 1: the twelve seed, Danny, Oregon over Wisconsin. I also, you
Speaker 1: get ready for this. I like this legitimately. Remember when
Speaker 1: I told you with Yale as the four teen seed,
Speaker 1: I was like, I put them maybe, but I wasn't
Speaker 1: ringing endorsement. Yeah, I love the thirteen seed. You see
Speaker 1: Irvine the ant Eaters, Anny, the mother f and Anteaters, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. You see Irvine also another elite defensive team. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like them over Kansas State, and I like Oregon
Speaker 1: over Wisconsin. You know what that means, Danny, With Oregon
Speaker 1: facing you see Irvine. It happens every year, Danny, there's
Speaker 1: at least one like double digit seed that makes it
Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen. You know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: in the other the glass slipper. Here's an opportunity for you.
Speaker 1: This is a place where you could put either Oregon
Speaker 1: or you see Irvine in there. If you're doing multiple sheets,
Speaker 1: make sure you have Oregon or you see Irvine getting
Speaker 1: into the Sweet sixteen on some of them. You are
Speaker 1: going to thank me, literally, Danny. Next week we're gonna
Speaker 1: be sitting here on Monday, we'll be at the Sweet sixteen,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking about some of my upsets
Speaker 1: that are making it through and still playing. You see Irvine, Oregon,
Speaker 1: that is a good spot, as good as any to
Speaker 1: put it in there. Okay, So we like those upsets
Speaker 1: as well. In the South. That's where we're going with them.
Speaker 1: Upset status. Okay, Danny, are you following here? What are
Speaker 1: you making some note? You? You see how your brackets
Speaker 1: starting to come together, Danny, You see how it's starting
Speaker 1: to come together. You already filled in some Final four teams.
Speaker 1: You worked backwards, you knew they were winning their games.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you some upsets now from the ground up,
Speaker 1: just like we would make a DFS lineup. What region
Speaker 1: you want to go to next, Danny, the West or
Speaker 1: the Midwest? All right? In the Midwest. This is where
Speaker 1: Carolina we like. This is where Kentucky we like. All Right,
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna say, Danny, the Midwest to me,
Speaker 1: I don't like any of the big upsets. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't like any really of the double digit seeds. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not on. I'm not on that's twelve over five.
Speaker 1: I like Auburn. In fact, I'm not on the big
Speaker 1: upsets because I like Houston as the three. I like
Speaker 1: Iowa State. You know, this is where in the first round,
Speaker 1: We're not gonna pick a lot of upsets. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you some things about the middle rounds Here.
Speaker 1: Utah State is a really good team, the eight seed.
Speaker 1: So here's what i'd say. And this is where getting
Speaker 1: me filling, you know, kind of playing the comprehensive picture
Speaker 1: of your multiple brackets, because as the pole question says,
Speaker 1: you know, six of you right now are filling out
Speaker 1: at least two brackets. So here's what I'm gonna say, Danny.
Speaker 1: If you have like U n C or Kentucky, let's
Speaker 1: say you're splitting those guys up. You're leaning U n C.
Speaker 1: So let's say Danny, like you have three brackets that
Speaker 1: we're gonna have UNC in the final four and two
Speaker 1: of them and Kentucky in the final four. On one
Speaker 1: of them makes sense. Yeah, on the one that you
Speaker 1: have Kentucky, you need to check check this rational, Danny.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have Kentucky going anyway, you need UNC
Speaker 1: to lose, right, UNC is gonna lose somewhere. This is
Speaker 1: where you take your shot of the crazy of how
Speaker 1: they get upset, and the crazy people who could upset
Speaker 1: you NC in their path to Kentucky would be, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, the five seed all Burn or the eight
Speaker 1: seed Utah State. You can take one of those teams
Speaker 1: to have an upset against North Carolina, likely all Burn
Speaker 1: in the sweet sixteen. But listen, one of these one
Speaker 1: or two seeds are gonna go down in the second
Speaker 1: round to like a seven or an eight seed team.
Speaker 1: Utass State is as good as any All right, making
Speaker 1: sense to you, Danny. So I like either Auburn or
Speaker 1: Utah State to upset and trip up North Carolina on
Speaker 1: the brackets where you have Kentucky going to the final
Speaker 1: four makes sense. Cool. Also, all those other guys on
Speaker 1: the Kentucky side, we like Iowa State. I like Houston.
Speaker 1: Play with Iowa State and Houston in the second round. Similarly,
Speaker 1: play with Wafford and Seton Hall. You want to split
Speaker 1: those up in the first round, Okay. And then on
Speaker 1: the ones where you're gonna have u n C steam
Speaker 1: roll into the final four, play with some of those
Speaker 1: guys upsetting Kentucky. Play with Iowa State upsetting Kentucky. Play
Speaker 1: with your Wafford Seaton Hall winner upsetting Kentucky. Fiel me yea.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the west, Danny. Here's what you need
Speaker 1: to know about the West. Go right back to the
Speaker 1: twelveth side, twelve five game. I like the twelve seed
Speaker 1: Murray State. I like them because of two reasons. Two words.
Speaker 1: John Morant, Danny, John Moran. You may have heard me
Speaker 1: talk about this kid before. He is going to be
Speaker 1: a top three pick in the NBA draft, Danny, But
Speaker 1: he just comes from a small school. Think like Steph
Speaker 1: Curry when he was at Davidson in the nt double
Speaker 1: A Tournament. Danny. Okay, this kid is a top three
Speaker 1: NBA draft pick in uh this upcoming draft. He just
Speaker 1: happens to be on a very small school who has
Speaker 1: the twelve seed. All right, this kid is going to
Speaker 1: win games. I think by himself he is. He was
Speaker 1: on the same AU team as Zion Williamson. He finished
Speaker 1: the season I think twenty points a game and ten
Speaker 1: assists a game. This kid is a human highlight reel.
Speaker 1: He is no joke. This NBA draft is gonna go
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson and then maybe this kid number two, Danny.
Speaker 1: He plays from Murray State, the twelve seed. If you're
Speaker 1: a guy who likes twelve seeds over the five seed
Speaker 1: Murray State, the Racers are an interesting pick. Al Right.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll also tell you, Danny in this one.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Gonzaga as much. I also don't
Speaker 1: believe in Michigan as much. Here's where we can get
Speaker 1: a little bit kookie if we want, all right, and
Speaker 1: let me tell you then if it's not these top seeds,
Speaker 1: the ones that I do like. I do like the
Speaker 1: three seed Texas Tech. I think they're underrated, Danny. I
Speaker 1: do like the four seed Florida State. Florida State. Danny
Speaker 1: comes from the A C C. All right, in the
Speaker 1: A C C. The only teams above them in the
Speaker 1: A C C. Danny, Okay, Florida Stay finished fourth in
Speaker 1: the a c C this year. You know, the only
Speaker 1: teams that were above them. Duke is a one seed
Speaker 1: in this tournament. North Carolina a one seed in this tournament.
Speaker 1: Virginia a one seed in this tournament. If you believe
Speaker 1: in the theory that iron sharpens iron, Florida States a
Speaker 1: pretty damn good team and they're sitting there as a
Speaker 1: four seed. They may have to see Gonzaga. I think
Speaker 1: Florida State is no joke, Danny on. If you're playing
Speaker 1: multiple brackets, it's not silly to have the Florida State
Speaker 1: seminoles in the final four and one of them all right,
Speaker 1: And if if you're looking for an upstart, also talk
Speaker 1: about like mid majors, the University of Buffalo low, Danny,
Speaker 1: the sixth seed in this region. They are a really
Speaker 1: good team. They made it even into the top twenty five.
Speaker 1: They beat legitimate teams. They went into the Carrier Dome
Speaker 1: and beat Syracuse earlier on in this season. Okay, Texas Tech,
Speaker 1: Florida State, Buffalo. If you want to try to fade
Speaker 1: some of the big boys like Gonzaga and Michigan, this
Speaker 1: would be the bracket to do it. I think this
Speaker 1: is where you get a little kookie, Danny, I'd throw
Speaker 1: a little shekels on Florida State, Texas Tech and Buffalo
Speaker 1: making a run in this bracket. How does that sound
Speaker 1: so far? Danny? Sound alright? So, Danny? How far? How
Speaker 1: much of the bracket is filled out? A lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of it. We're gonna take a break, right, we
Speaker 1: gotta pay some bills here on the Fantasy Freestyle, episode
Speaker 1: three sixty seven. When we come back, what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is, I'm gonna tell you about some of the
Speaker 1: mid teams. Okay, the seeds that are, like, you know,
Speaker 1: three through seven, and who I like there because what
Speaker 1: you still probably need to fill out, Danny, are like,
Speaker 1: you know, some second round winners, right, some sweet sixteen entrance.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tell you which mid level teams I like.
Speaker 1: When you're have say the six verse, the three, the
Speaker 1: four verse, the five, and then we'll have a full bracket.
Speaker 1: Makes sense, Danny, makes sense. I'm teaching them how to
Speaker 1: fish here on the Fantasy Freestyle, that spitting statustician, come
Speaker 1: on back after the break. We're gonna make it pop off.
Speaker 1: It is badness in here. I'm gonna get you win
Speaker 1: that cash for other people. Let's get it well back
Speaker 1: from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot com

Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Style, Open this piss that's over, Beats
Speaker 1: Cipher represent trying to help you all win a little
Speaker 1: bit of cash as we get mad learning on well,
Speaker 1: I guess starting tomorrow technically. Um, So, Danny, how are
Speaker 1: brackets looking, brother? I'm looking pretty good so far. Okay,
Speaker 1: And so remember I'm doing it this way, Danny, because
Speaker 1: right now we got that pole question up, and I'm
Speaker 1: asking people how many brackets are you entering into your
Speaker 1: bracket pool? Is it about like being like nah, I
Speaker 1: had Carolina and day one. See, I'm right making the
Speaker 1: true pick or is it about spreading it around and
Speaker 1: win a little bit of extra teach you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Danny, That's what we do here with Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and the stats over beat Cipher and Danny. Thirty
Speaker 1: three percent of people so far say they fill out
Speaker 1: only one bracket. Okay. Seven percent of people say they
Speaker 1: will not be filling out brackets at all, that they
Speaker 1: only bet games or don't fill it out at all,
Speaker 1: don't do it at all. So that means they're still
Speaker 1: sixty out there of people who are spending are doing
Speaker 1: more than one bracket, Danny or saying too and almost okay,
Speaker 1: forty seven percent Danny say they fill out more than two.
Speaker 1: So I'm telling people how to look at it, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm telling people, you know, I'm giving them options. And
Speaker 1: then so what they need to do now with the
Speaker 1: big boys, I'll give you Duke lean more Duke shares
Speaker 1: that Michigan state shares mean mean more, u v A
Speaker 1: u v A and Tennessee shares down the middle to
Speaker 1: get to the final four, Lee and Carolina shares over
Speaker 1: Kentucky shares. And then in the West, I think that's
Speaker 1: where you could have a little bit of fun. I
Speaker 1: think that's where you could have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, people have Gonzaga going far in
Speaker 1: some of your shares of your bracket. But here's where
Speaker 1: you can get a little bit of fun. I recommend
Speaker 1: Florida State. They are no joke, all right, Texas Tech
Speaker 1: no joke. Buffalo could make a Cinderella run, all right.
Speaker 1: So then I gave you wear some of the upsets
Speaker 1: that I liked were you know. Now on the East,
Speaker 1: I do like liberty and some shares of your bracket.
Speaker 1: I do like getting shares of the eleven seed, whoever
Speaker 1: it might be. In the South, I love a little
Speaker 1: twelve action and a thirteen action. Then by definition, with
Speaker 1: a twelve verse a thirteen, potentially in the second round
Speaker 1: you get a double digit seed into the Sweet sixteen
Speaker 1: in a year when you're not gonna get many. So
Speaker 1: what's left still for you to do, Danny? What are
Speaker 1: we still got to fill out? Basically all of the
Speaker 1: the extra the second round ones. So tell take me
Speaker 1: to a region, brother man. Back at the East, I
Speaker 1: like Virginia Tech being able to move on until they
Speaker 1: see Duke um Louisville and Minnesota. Interesting game there, Okay, Minnesota.
Speaker 1: You know the head coach of Minnesota is Rick Pettino's son,
Speaker 1: as you know Rick Pettino the Louisville coach for a
Speaker 1: long time. That is gonna be interesting. All right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting game. You want even shares of
Speaker 1: Louisville and Minneso soda? All right? I think you're eleven
Speaker 1: seed can upset the Apple Cart and win two games
Speaker 1: and get to the Sweet sixth team. Potentially Danny. Maryland
Speaker 1: is a team that could make a run, but that
Speaker 1: anybody could beat. So you gotta have that Maryland. Eleven
Speaker 1: Seeds gotta Betty kind of to me clarify the East
Speaker 1: for your brother man and I like votech making runs
Speaker 1: until they see Duke. Yeah, definitely cool. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the South. I told you listen, I like Old Miss
Speaker 1: over Oklahoma in that eight nine game. You can split
Speaker 1: up St. Mary's in Villanova. Villanova is not the same
Speaker 1: team they've been. That's one something like two of the
Speaker 1: last three championships. St. Mary's is a good team. St
Speaker 1: Mary's beat Gonzaga in their conference championship. St Mary's you
Speaker 1: could put some shares of Okay, I like Cincinnati as
Speaker 1: a team, Danny, have them beating Iowa in the one
Speaker 1: where you have uv A go into the final four.
Speaker 1: You can have since the upsetting the Apple Cart over Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Why those games, Danny, are gonna be played in Ohio
Speaker 1: a relative home court advantage for since maybe in the
Speaker 1: second round over Tennessee. I like Tennessee a lot, Danny,
Speaker 1: all right, but if you're gonna pick U v A
Speaker 1: in the final four, you need someone to beat Tennessee anyway,
Speaker 1: since he could do the trick makes sense. Um In
Speaker 1: the Midwest, I like Auburn over Kansas. Kansas is limping
Speaker 1: to me. I like auburnon to make it to the
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen. Obviously most of the time against Carolina. You
Speaker 1: can flip flop there, Danny. You can split up the
Speaker 1: Iowa state and the Houston in the second round. You
Speaker 1: can split those up for getting into the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 1: We like Kentucky to make runs most of the time
Speaker 1: all the way to the Elite eight, but we like
Speaker 1: Carolina better than that. You with me. And then finally
Speaker 1: in the West, you know, I gotta like Syracuse. You
Speaker 1: know there's some upset potential I've already said in the West,
Speaker 1: you can take us over Gonzaga in one of your brackets.
Speaker 1: I like Florida State a lot. I like Murray State
Speaker 1: a lot as well. I like Buffalo Texas Tech the
Speaker 1: Florida Nevada game. You can split up, all right, and Michigan. Listen, Michigan.
Speaker 1: It is a good Michigan is a good team. I
Speaker 1: may be wrong about Michigan, Danny. I I acknowledge that
Speaker 1: I may be wrong about Michigan. I am fading Michigan
Speaker 1: and all my brackets. They may be the school I
Speaker 1: am most wrong about, but I have Michigan not going far.
Speaker 1: You could have that Buffalo or Texas Tech team beating
Speaker 1: Michigan in the sweet sixth team, Danny, I am fading Michigan. Alright,
Speaker 1: how do we feel? So now we're pretty good up
Speaker 1: until the Final four, right, Danny? All right? So now
Speaker 1: let's make some final four picks. Here's what I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, Danny. If everyone is healthy and everyone plays
Speaker 1: their best game, Danny, Duke is the best team in
Speaker 1: the country. If everyone is healthy, if everyone brings their game,
Speaker 1: it'll be hard for teams to beat Duken Zion Williamson. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now that we got them this far, and you
Speaker 1: probably have like Duke, you know, Carolina, Uva, or Tennessee
Speaker 1: in there. If you're doing multiple sheets, which I know
Speaker 1: you guys are, you gotta have Duke winning the championship
Speaker 1: on at least one of them, all, right, Danny. And
Speaker 1: then here's what I would say, depending on who you have,
Speaker 1: how many sheets you're entering, you gotta have Duke winning
Speaker 1: it all. After that, I would off the beating. I
Speaker 1: think the a c C is the best conference out there.
Speaker 1: I think it's fine to have shares of Duke winning
Speaker 1: at all. I think it's fine to have shares of
Speaker 1: North Carolina winning it all. Danny. I think it's fine
Speaker 1: to have shares of Uva Virginia winning it all. I
Speaker 1: think it is the only other team. I don't think
Speaker 1: Kizaga can win it all. I don't think Kentucky can
Speaker 1: win it all. I don't think Michigan State will win
Speaker 1: it all. I don't think Michigan will win it all.
Speaker 1: The only other team that I think it's viable to
Speaker 1: actually win six in a row and beat multiple A
Speaker 1: c C team's end route to doing so, because that's
Speaker 1: what a team would have to do also beat multiple
Speaker 1: A S, A C C. Big boys. You have to
Speaker 1: go through Duke and Carolina or Carolina and Virginia. The
Speaker 1: only other team I see that, in my opinion, can
Speaker 1: get it done are the Tennessee Volunteers, the two seed
Speaker 1: in the South. I think they could get through Virginia.
Speaker 1: Virginia's that weird team that has defecated the mattress in
Speaker 1: the past five years. In the tournament they were, Danny.
Speaker 1: They were the one seed that lost to the sixteen
Speaker 1: seed U NBC last year. So Tennessee is someone who
Speaker 1: I also like. If you are filling out three sheets,
Speaker 1: which Danny, you and I are doing, right, you gotta
Speaker 1: have Duke winning one. I would recommend Duke over Tennessee
Speaker 1: in the final on one of them. Danny Duke over
Speaker 1: Tennessee in the final on one of them. Then I
Speaker 1: think the second best team in the country honestly is
Speaker 1: North Carolina. So you gotta have them winning it all
Speaker 1: on one and then the one you have them winning
Speaker 1: it all, you want them beating Duke in the final,
Speaker 1: or is this may be the one where you have
Speaker 1: Michigan State one of the weird ones from you know,
Speaker 1: the West region. That's another way to do it as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: So maybe what I did is I had North Carolina
Speaker 1: winning on one of my brackets. That's where have the
Speaker 1: funky one. Okay, you could have them maybe over the
Speaker 1: Gonzaga over even a Florida state that makes a run.
Speaker 1: All right. So I have Duke over Tennessee and one
Speaker 1: of them. Carolina is gonna win one of them. And
Speaker 1: then Danny, what orange do you like better? Virginia or Tennessee?
Speaker 1: You like Tennessee, And and Danny, here's the thing. Remember,
Speaker 1: just like making a DFS line up, you got a
Speaker 1: zig win. Some people zag, Danny. Okay, so go ahead
Speaker 1: and make Tennessee You're champion in another bracket. Okay. They're
Speaker 1: a team that can hang with the likes of these
Speaker 1: a SEC big boys. All right. Something tells me that
Speaker 1: Virginia is gonna bring their real team this year. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna defecate the mattress or we shall see, but
Speaker 1: we shall see, all right. But yeah, those are my
Speaker 1: then off the other radar teams to actually win it all.
Speaker 1: I don't think Sparty could win it all. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Wolverines can win it all. I think Gonzaga
Speaker 1: might get there, but they are not going to win
Speaker 1: it all. They're gonna get tripped up. You got a
Speaker 1: pretty full out bracket, Danny, understanding conceptually how we're teaching
Speaker 1: you to fish, not just giving you a fish. Fantastic.
Speaker 1: So now how many brackets are you entering, Danny? You
Speaker 1: fit in the forty some odd percent of people that
Speaker 1: agree with you. We'll be doing more than two brackets.
Speaker 1: But this and this is the way to do it
Speaker 1: moving forward. People, all right, you gotta start with your
Speaker 1: big boys, have them path clear, then you pick the upsets,
Speaker 1: then you fill in the middle. That's my way of
Speaker 1: helping you pick it, especially if you were picking multiple brackets.
Speaker 1: This way you get some options when those upsets happen.
Speaker 1: And I gave you the ones. I like, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be covered when you have coverage now with the big boys,
Speaker 1: because I do think there is a gap between the
Speaker 1: top one and two seeds and the rest. So hopefully
Speaker 1: good luck, and we'll be saying Dilly Dilly will be
Speaker 1: updating that. Danny next Monday will be updating the make
Speaker 1: it rain hater brackets. Last thing I want to say,
Speaker 1: I talked about all the free agency winners and losers.
Speaker 1: You know, the biggest one is though, Danny Johnny Manziel,
Speaker 1: because he's now in the A a F. Danny Johnny
Speaker 1: Manziel has been signed by the Memphis Express. This was
Speaker 1: a team Danny that was starting Christian Uh, Christian Hackenburg
Speaker 1: and Zach Mettenberger. They claimed, Johnny Football, he's done with Canada.
Speaker 1: He is now one step closer to the NFL. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what else that means that with whatever great
Speaker 1: a contract happened in Canada, it was clearly he just
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing his therapist or wasn't seeing something like that.
Speaker 1: It was protected by hippo laws because if it was
Speaker 1: something like cocaine or domestic violence, TMZ would be all
Speaker 1: over it already. It was not Danny Uh. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about this more next week. Billy Dilley, good luck who
Speaker 1: our brackets. Good luck to Johnny Football. Maybe you can
Speaker 1: make a mark in the a F. One step closer
Speaker 1: back to the NFL. We'll check in on all the brackets.
Speaker 1: We'll check in on the Merry Go Round in the
Speaker 1: NFL next week on the Fantasy Freestyle. It'll be episode
Speaker 1: three six eight, But for now, hit me up at
Speaker 1: spitting speeds and get that cash. The bracts this week
Speaker 1: Perge
