1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast, where we

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: explore some of the big money issues in the world

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: of sports. I am Michael bar Damien sass Sour, and

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Rich Truman. You know what that means, the Truman and

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: sass Our combination. They are They put the UNIVAC in UNIVAC,

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: and I put the uniblab in uniblab. So I listened

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: to exactly what they're gonna say. And they are the

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: brain trust of this group. As we talk fantasy football,

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, week their team. Uh folks, Now, if

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: you haven't made the playoffs yet and you are just

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: on the cusp, you better get cracking right now, Rich,

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: because this is the moment, you know, and a lot

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: of teams trade deadline is either over or uh we

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: take this on Wednesday or today, Like I'm in two

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: weeks where the trade deadline is at noon. So if

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: you're at that cusp, you gotta try to pull a

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: trigger because pretty much most Sky's value on waivers are taken.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: But to we're a couple of injury, key injuries this

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: past weekend, Damion, Yeah, no, I mean, look, I I

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: take the other side of that, Rich, I mean, there

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: are plenty of guys on waivers, including my man, Miguel Blanco,

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Mike White, Mike White, somebody free Mike White out there.

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this man is gonna single handedly bring Garrett

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Wilson back to fantasy relevance. You know Garrett's numbers. He

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: scores fantasy points per game when Zach Wilson is not

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the New York Jets. So you know,

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: now some New York Jets out there actually a fantasy

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: relevance heading into the playoffs. I'm sure right now, Zack

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Wilson is like, damn, I shouldn't have said what I said,

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: And now he might not win the He might not

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: he might not even be the quarterback for the Jets ever.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, he's a young quarterback. He's learning

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: and he'll learn that. You know, you just you just

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: don't say no, I don't take responsibility at all, and

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: but he'll learn. But there are other ones as well

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: out there of quarterbacks. Well, there's Trevor Lawrence, right, Trevor

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence is playing your team, the Detroit Lions. Right. They

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: surrender the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: So he's out there on the waiver wire in most leagues. Um,

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, since Week four, Trevor Lawrence has been a

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: better fantasy quarterback than Lamar Jackson, averaging something on the

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: order of eighteen point five fantasy points per game. What

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: do you think, rich about Jordan's Love? Now, this is

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: a shaky one here for green Bay. You know, the

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: green Bay quarterback has not done very well up to

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: this point, so I would stay away from Jordan's Love.

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: I think they'd even be more dependent on the run,

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: and has been very dependent on the run this year.

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: So j do do I hear in a j Dillon

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: out there? That was his first touchdown since Week one

51
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: last week? Yeah? By the way, yeah, name the quarterback

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. You know, it's amazing, like you, I

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: believe Michael Barr had Russell Wilson. Then you're at the

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Yes, and then you have made

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: a small move of trading for Aaron Rodgers. So you

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: had Russell Wilson then Aaron Rodgers and it's amazing. You're

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: in first I think first place, are close to the the

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: first place, and to close the first place, but not

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: because of the quarterback. Help. It's Jeff you know, I'm sorry.

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Jared golf Is has helped me out for the Lions

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: some weeks, and amazingly sometimes I use Derek Carr and

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: that has helped me out as well. But I'm putting

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: it together with bailing wire Man and take. You know,

64
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: for the quarterback situation, UH, lots to talk about with

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: running backs, and there were some running back situations and

66
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: injuries out there. Uh. Elijah Mitchell forty Niners done for

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: pretty much the fantasy season, and McCaffrey's banged up also

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: should be determined whether he plays. And the guy who

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: had this greatest week probably of the season, Josh Jacobs

70
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: last week in Seattle, is also banged up. So you

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: have to make sure you check the injury reports before

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: before the games this weekend. But Damie and I were

73
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: talking before air, it's amazing. You know. In the draft,

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: I always say that dreyf There's never won in the

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: first round. And if you look at some of the

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: superstars this year in fantasy, Josh Jacob's mid round pick,

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders mid round pick, Uh, there are so many

78
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: first round running backs that did not pan out. And

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: as Damie and I were talking, I mean Austin Ekela

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: obviously was a class but there are so many guys

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: who did not pan out this year. So it's always

82
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: you always say those mid round picks, waiver picks always

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: help you win championships. I was gonna say it. Running back,

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: you know that the guy who kind of stands out

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: for me. And obviously you know Michael Carter, he went

86
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: down with an injury. So a lot of people are

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: picking ups on a bed night on the Jets. I'm

88
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: talking again. You've got Gus Edwards out there potentially, and

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: you know what's going on with the Ravens. But for me,

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: Rashad White on the Bucks, I mean twenty three touches

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: and caught all nine of his targets too. I mean,

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: this reminds me a lot of you know, a few

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: years back when r J three first came on the scene.

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: This is pre Leonard four Nette, right, So you know

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: it's interesting. You know that Tampa by backfield, it's Fantasy

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: relevant and if Rashad White grabs ahold of it going

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, he can win you some games. There

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: are a lot of running backs out there that I

99
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: would have never thought that I would be naming them,

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: and and trying to pick up now for you know,

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: fantasy Benny Snell. Did anybody that Benny Snell was going

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: to be a name that you know? It's like, hey,

103
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: and this has happened. Najie Harris. He suffered an abdominal injury. Uh. Now,

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: here's the problem here is that Benny Snell works if

105
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Naji Harris obviously is out. And you also realized Jalen

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: Warren didn't play last game and he might come back

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: soon also. And I picked up Benny Snell on my

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: other league, but the Pittsburgh running backs have not been

109
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: any great finds this year either. We when Najie Harris

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: was healthy. But he's worth a pick up, Benny Snell

111
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: because here's a good chance he's gonna get the bulk

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: that carries this week. Do you guys see anybody Titans

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: or stuff before we go on? You're gonna add something

114
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: to that. I'm sorry, go ahead, what I was, well,

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I you know, no, I mean, you feed me right

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: into what I was gonna say. I mean, Michael, which

117
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: you were. You were very polite not to mention it.

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: But the players that have carried you so far in

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: our fantasy league this season, justin Jefferson and Travis Kelsey

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: talk about tight ends, but Justin Jefferson, I mean, let's

121
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: be very very clear here. Stefon digs Tyreek killed Jamaar

122
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: Chase combined for just eighteen catches, a hundred and sixty

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine yards and one touchdown against the Jets.

124
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: And guess who your boy, Justin Jefferson's playing this weekend?

125
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Is this? Could you know? And yes, he's breathing down

126
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: your neck in the fantasy league, that would be met

127
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: and that would be me. It would be nice. It

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: would be nice if they ever call a pass interference, Uh,

129
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Pal Sauce, if you ever watched the replace he's holding. Yes,

130
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know what you're saying. They don't call

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: p I against him. I agree with what you're saying.

132
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: By the way, there's gonna be a rude awakening one

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: day when he realizes that the way he's tackling people

134
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: when we're about to get the ball. But we we

135
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: don't talk about that as a Jet band. We look forward,

136
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, we look for progress. Mean, I'm excited to

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: see that defense played the Minnesota Vikings, but you know

138
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their handsful for sure. You guys excited

139
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: about the Kansas City matchup. They're going against Cincinnati. They're

140
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna be points galore out of that thing. Yeah. Yeah,

141
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: fifty three is the over under there, right, I mean, look,

142
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that is going to be the

143
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: high score this week. One would think, No, Michael, Well, yeah,

144
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I was polite by not, you know,

145
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: by mentioning that I do have Travis Kelsey. Uh. And

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: I also with Travis Kelsey and also Patrick Mahomes in

147
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: one league. But I wasn't going to mention that out here.

148
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: But but that, you know, and and rich though, man,

149
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: you've got Mr Burrow because some idiot traded Burrow away.

150
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I won't mention any names he got here in Rogerson

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: returned Joe Burrow. I'll tell you what he's been. He's

152
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: been very good. You know. I was One other advice

153
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I would give the people is look ahead on the

154
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: schedule because I have Joe Burrow and Justin Fields in

155
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: our league. And I was actually trying to trade Justin

156
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Field before he got hurt. But then I was looking,

157
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: if I ever am fortunate enough to make it to

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Game, would I rather have Joe Burrow

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: at New England or Justin Fields at Detroit. I would

160
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: take Justin Fields in that matchup so that I'm not

161
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: trading him for that reason, even though it might help

162
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: me in the ensuing weeks. I'm just if I get

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: that far, I want to have Justin Fields against Detroit,

164
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna make a transition on my own sleeper

165
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: picks this week. Last week, I said the Goff and

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Aman combination. Uh, Goff's middle of the line. But um

167
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: on st Brown was number three in wy receiver total points,

168
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: and I said near Joku who was number eight. He

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: quote a nice touchdown Passiday on the game. I'm gonna

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: go get your allions again. I'm gonna do the combination

171
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence who Damian mentioned before in Christian Kirk.

172
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence had a great game three one yards three

173
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: t d A. He's had a comeback win against the Ravens.

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: Uh sim will do that, and then I'm just on

175
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: a haunt. She hasn't really much Jell Evertt tight end

176
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: Chargers against Vegas, which I think would also be a

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: high scoring game. How let me ask you a question.

178
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: Can I ask you both the question. You have a

179
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: choice here, right, And look, we know DeShawn Watson's back.

180
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: It's week their team, he's back from suspension. Man hasn't

181
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: played in two years, but he's playing the Houston Texans

182
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: this weekend. That is a comeback game. It's in Houston.

183
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: You know he's going to be up for it. You know,

184
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: what do you expect from him? Because you know, if

185
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: you look at a lot of the fantasy projections, you know,

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: the CBS is the was the espns of the world.

187
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: They're projecting some really big things from him this first

188
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: week out. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Well, I'll

189
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: go first. Houston is the worst against the run. Nick

190
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: Chubb is a great running back. I would think no

191
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: matter who the courter I got back this week was,

192
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: they would be It's predominantly running the ball against Houston.

193
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: So he might get one of those goal line runs,

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: but I would think Nick Chubb would be the star

195
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: of that team for fantasy. Well, I hate to take

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: the cheap way out, but I gotta agree with Rich.

197
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you word for word about

198
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: what's going out. You know with that, you know with

199
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the Browns, uh, they are supposed to be favorite by

200
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: six and a half points, so I could see that,

201
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: and I could see the ground game coming into play

202
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: in the game script, so that that could happen. I

203
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: want to go back to Jacksonville right quick, because there

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: was another injury. Travis Ntien. Yeah, yeah, I have him,

205
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: and I lost because of that. Now, obviously you can't

206
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: help an injury. My goodness, the third of a point

207
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: didn't help you. Yeah, so what so so I hopefully

208
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: have to Michael Hasty and your on your bench. No,

209
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Mr Bart, We'll we'll see. We'll see there, let's see. Okay.

210
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: But now, according to what Intienne was saying, and also

211
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, his coaches that he could have gone back

212
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: in the game, but they wanted to, like, you know,

213
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: let's play it safe and this and that whatever. I

214
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: wish they didn't play safe, but I would have won.

215
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: But listen, you can't help an injury because you've already

216
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: had the Liz Frank injury earlier in his career, and

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: they didn't want to chance. It's so I get that

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Thursday night game Buffalo, New England. It's at New England.

219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: Do we think points are no? Points? Forty four? Is

220
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the over? Under I believe is that correct? Patriots favorite

221
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: by I'm sorry, Buffalo is favored by four and a half. Boy,

222
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: that's that's it's it's a tough one. It's a tough one,

223
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: um I. And that's a tough that's a that's a

224
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: pretty fair over underline. That's a tough one. I mean, look,

225
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: I like to sort of say the over just the

226
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: way Thursday night games have been trending of late, but

227
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: that means nothing. I mean, and and look, Alan has

228
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: not really looked the same in the last few weeks,

229
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to be completely frank with you, in the running game

230
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: is something to be desired. So look, if billi Chip

231
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: draws it up, I could see them keeping it to

232
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: the under. But my sleeper the week just to go

233
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: there for you, gentlemen. Jerick McKinnon, I mean, I do

234
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: like that, you know, Casey Bangles game. I do like

235
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: the fifty three point over under. I think he's got

236
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: big upside in the game that can really blow up.

237
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: One other thing in that Buffalo New England game. I

238
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have Josh Allen and my other league,

239
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: and I noticed they've been doing a concerted effort to

240
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: have them run the ball more single to Singletary has

241
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: been getting more carries even by the goal line when

242
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: they never used to run. But when that team goes

243
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: in a two minute offense that's they did at the

244
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: end against Detroit to get that last minute field goal,

245
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: that team is unstoppable because Josh Allen's finding Digs or

246
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: somebody else, or he's running on his own. When when

247
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: they go to that two minute offense, I mean, they're

248
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: really unstouble. But I did notice they're making a conscious

249
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: effort to take a little of the pressure off him,

250
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: and they running the ball a lot more than they

251
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: used to, by the way. And there's another game we

252
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned it, and I am keeping my eye on

253
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: this one also Eagles and Titans. That's gonna be a

254
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: good game also and Titans obviously no push over there

255
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: seven and four right now, Eagles ten and one, they're

256
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: playing in Philadelphia. I could see a lot of points

257
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: coming on of that game as well, especially for Philadelphia.

258
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: And the forty Niners against the Dolphins is also another

259
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: interesting game that we had ford. I was looking at

260
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: the defensive rankings in one of the websites. I'm like,

261
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: where the forty Niners, it's did on the bye week.

262
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: They're way down low because they're playing the Dolphins. So uh, well,

263
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, Michael, you had asked earlier in

264
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: the h you know, or earlier in the broadcast, which

265
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: tight ends you should be looking at. I'll tell you

266
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: a tight end who's maybe out there in many people's leagues,

267
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: and that's Dallas Goder. Dallas was you know, I mean,

268
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: he's he was placed on I R. But he comes

269
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: off in week fifteen. So if you have some confidence

270
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: that you're gonna make it to the playoffs, you should

271
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: take a look on the waiver wire and see if

272
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: he's sitting out there, you know, because I just got

273
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: him and I'm excited to see um see him come back,

274
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: because that offense is a different beast altogether when he's

275
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: on the field. By the way, uh, two teams on

276
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: the buy this week, Cardinals and Panthers. And if you

277
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: think that's bad, wait until week fourteen when by A

278
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: getting comes and then six teams are on the by which, boy,

279
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: that could really mess up a lot of playoff runs

280
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: if you're not paying attention to who's on the buy. So, folks, again,

281
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals Panthers this week out but then Week fourteen, six

282
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: teams on the buy. This has been the Bloomberg Business
