Speaker 1: all like these picks as well. So I'm gonna give

Speaker 1: picks official for the divisional round games. It will only
Speaker 1: be me. It'll be a unicorn in training, It'll be
Speaker 1: my lovely goose and Tito god kids. We even got honestly,
Speaker 1: we got kids of members of the stats over Beat
Speaker 1: Cipher names. You know, people were talking about regulars of
Speaker 1: the stats over Beat Cipher. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: guys for sending me videos of your children picking the games,
Speaker 1: and boy do they have some solid analysis. And we
Speaker 1: are going, uh, you know, we're gonna get paid. Hey, Brian,
Speaker 1: I got some news for your brother man in due time.
Speaker 1: In due time, okay. As we move along in the
Speaker 1: football season, and after football is over, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some new schedules going on in this network. Okay, and uh,
Speaker 1: Brian asked, and you shall receive my friend Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: let him know that there in his episode three eight.
Speaker 1: I love that he made that switch. And yes, speed's
Speaker 1: love the kids. We're gonna get into that. But let's
Speaker 1: get it on and popping. By the way, I'm also
Speaker 1: gonna let you guys call on in whenever it is
Speaker 1: y'all want, Okay, Um, three four seven seven six seven
Speaker 1: six six one four, that the number to call three
Speaker 1: four seven seven six seven six six one four. We'll
Speaker 1: try and do those phone calls in the middle and
Speaker 1: in the third segment after I give you all the
Speaker 1: insight you need to win your leagues and win that
Speaker 1: m we'll see all right. In any event, Um, first thing,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about practice reports. Okay, Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: is practicing, guys, all right. I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: to be a good DFS play per se. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna get about twenty snaps, but I think those
Speaker 1: are gonna be critical situations. I think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: third down situations, red zone situations, all right, so things
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for him and his value add
Speaker 1: for the Chargers more than your fantasy lineup. Okay, you
Speaker 1: also got Eric Ebron back. He's gonna be practicing. Uh
Speaker 1: was maybe just a little bit of a maintenance day
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Even t Y is up and going. Listen,
Speaker 1: this is week twenty of the NFL season in essence, right,
Speaker 1: You know, when you're talking about your sixteen games, you
Speaker 1: talk about the one playoff game these guys have already played.
Speaker 1: You talk about maybe they can collectively have played a
Speaker 1: grand total of two preseason games. When you think about
Speaker 1: the action they've really played. This is like the twentieth
Speaker 1: game these guys are playing in. Everybody is banged up. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just a degree of like how much are you
Speaker 1: banged up? And he's the other thing. Everybody is gonna go.
Speaker 1: Even Cole Beasley that they are being very ginger and
Speaker 1: cautious with his ankle. He gonna go. All right, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be you need to be basically Alan hearns to
Speaker 1: not go anymore in what is the most important week
Speaker 1: of football. So we check out how those practice reports trend.
Speaker 1: We shall see other news and notes as we spin
Speaker 1: it forward, you know some teams not in the playoffs anymore.
Speaker 1: Jets tight end Chris Herndon, who was a guy that
Speaker 1: I was given out at the end of the season
Speaker 1: as a viable streamer, was kind of ascending maybe into
Speaker 1: that back end tight end one territory. Yeah, well, he
Speaker 1: played guilty to d w I that happened earlier in
Speaker 1: the year. He is likely, in my opinion, going to
Speaker 1: face a suspension at the beginning of the two thousand
Speaker 1: nineteen season. So if you are valuing him in dynasty leagues,
Speaker 1: or if you're targeting him as like an essence where
Speaker 1: you were targeting a guy like David and Joeku last
Speaker 1: year or something like that, keep an eye out. He
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna miss like two three games something like that.
Speaker 1: Although the NFL is very inconsistent when how they adjudicate discipline,
Speaker 1: so we shall see right um. Interestingly enough, there are
Speaker 1: two players that a lot of people think are gonna
Speaker 1: be on the move. I'm talking about Antonio Brown and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Leonard Fournette. Things happen with them kind
Speaker 1: of in different directions when it relates to ownership. First off,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown here's the news. Art Rooney, the owner of
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, has just come out and said on
Speaker 1: a radio show today out in Pittsburgh that he does
Speaker 1: not he is not gonna cut Antonio Brown, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, he does not see Antonio Brown being
Speaker 1: with the team when they start training camp in the summer.
Speaker 1: Again fanning the flames of this rumors that Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: maybe on the move away from Pittsburgh. We'll see. I
Speaker 1: kind of think there's too many financial reasons to make
Speaker 1: it stick making stick in Pittsburgh, but we'll see about that.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, reports came out that Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: met with you know, Con and Marone and Coughlin and
Speaker 1: like the brain trust in Jacksonville too, quote unquote clear
Speaker 1: the air. Okay. Now, I don't know exactly what that means,
Speaker 1: but I think that they are going to try to
Speaker 1: find a way forward to that Leonard four Nett stays
Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars next year. The question is who
Speaker 1: will the quarterback of that team be? If you real
Speaker 1: deal status over beat Cipher with the fantasy freestyle spit
Speaker 1: and statistician, you know, I think their quarterback next year
Speaker 1: will be Joe Flacco Um. Also interesting news, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy can't winner out of Oklahoma. Many of
Speaker 1: you know, he was also the first round draft pick
Speaker 1: of the Oakland A's and was supposed to report to
Speaker 1: training camp what pitchers and catches are and what something
Speaker 1: like twenty nine days, something like that, thirty two days
Speaker 1: depending on the team. Well, now there's reports that he
Speaker 1: may in fact declare for the NFL draft, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, it's a lot of different
Speaker 1: takes on this. Right, should you go ahead and play football,
Speaker 1: get more money, risk your brain, or toil in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues of mental league baseball For a little while,
Speaker 1: he had something like signing bonus. He has something like
Speaker 1: five million dollars coming to him. I think the kids
Speaker 1: should play baseball. I think you should want to be
Speaker 1: able to form a coherent sentence when you're fifty five
Speaker 1: years old, if you have that option. Right, But listen,
Speaker 1: he's a short quarterback. Right, He's shorter than Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: He's shorter than Baker Mayfield. He's shorter than Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: But what we have seen is that that spread offense,
Speaker 1: that big twelve style offense is coming to the NFL.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield made it work. Patty Mahomes is making it work,
Speaker 1: you know, so maybe there would be a market. I
Speaker 1: know that in the first round right now, people think
Speaker 1: it's Dwayne Haskins and that's about it. If Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: is there, he makes two first round quarterbacks. So teams
Speaker 1: like the Giants at six, the Jaguars at seven, and
Speaker 1: any teams that want to leap frog them now have
Speaker 1: more potential options at quarterback up at the top of
Speaker 1: the draft. But as I said, this is the best
Speaker 1: weekend in football, So I want to first um mention
Speaker 1: a little note that, you know, the New Orleans Saints
Speaker 1: get on it this week as they host the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Sean Payton master motivator. Apparently, Sean Payton walked into the
Speaker 1: locker room with the Lombardi Trophy stacked up against on
Speaker 1: two d and five thousand dollars in cash and uh,
Speaker 1: he says, by the way, to k is what the
Speaker 1: Saints Super Bowl bonus share would be if they do
Speaker 1: win Super Bowl. Um, and he goes to them. He
Speaker 1: walks into the room with the trophy on top of
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty five thousand dollars in cash, and he goes,
Speaker 1: y'all want this win three f in games. Now, that's
Speaker 1: the way I like to motivate grown men. It's not
Speaker 1: about eating w's and stuff like that. It's showing them
Speaker 1: the cash right in front of them, play right in
Speaker 1: front of their face, and being like, you want this,
Speaker 1: go out and finish the job. And I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, I'm giving you super Bowl odds. The Saints
Speaker 1: are right now the super Bowl favorite at plus two fifty. Okay,
Speaker 1: They're gonna have two games in the Dome. If they
Speaker 1: win those, all they do is go to another dome
Speaker 1: that they are very familiar with in Atlanta. They are
Speaker 1: in there every single year, right, and they would be
Speaker 1: there for the Super Bowl. The Saints are at plus
Speaker 1: two fifty currently the odds on favorite to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. All Right, so here's what I want to do.
Speaker 1: I do want to talk a little bit about these
Speaker 1: coaching news and my reactions to them. Strong style. Apparently
Speaker 1: you're going Colts, Rams charges Saints. I'm gonna let you
Speaker 1: know if you agree with the other guy who's in
Speaker 1: the chat room with you, that we all know and
Speaker 1: love my Man j R. Slopper knocker. Uh. We maybe
Speaker 1: have picks from Candice a little bit later on Jimmy
Speaker 1: Man yaa get okay, make it pop off, spark that
Speaker 1: issue baby, all right? Um these head coaching jobs, I
Speaker 1: don't like two of the most recent ones. You know,
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours, we heard Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: to the Jets, we heard Vic Fangio to the Broncos,
Speaker 1: and we had Freddie Kitchen's staying there as a um
Speaker 1: A coach now of Cleveland. I don't like two of them.
Speaker 1: I love one of them. I don't really like Vic
Speaker 1: Fangio to the Broncos. I've been telling you for the
Speaker 1: better part of a month since the regular season ended
Speaker 1: that what you need to do here is you need
Speaker 1: to get these offensive minds. You know, That's where it is.
Speaker 1: I just don't like any of these defensive coaches being hired,
Speaker 1: like Fangio maybe the only one right Kingsbury in Arizona,
Speaker 1: floor up there in Green Bay. You know, so this
Speaker 1: is really like kind of the only defensive head coach
Speaker 1: that's going. I think they're a dying breed, to be
Speaker 1: quite honest. And the honest part is you know, the
Speaker 1: Broncos already had a Playoff caliber defense and elite defense,
Speaker 1: a super Bowl caliber defense. Don't you just let that rock?
Speaker 1: What they need to do is find out another way
Speaker 1: to unlock case Keenum again. You got good young position
Speaker 1: skill player talent. Uh you know, Lindsay Freeman, Courtland Sutton,
Speaker 1: DeShawn Hamilton's what you need to do is make sure
Speaker 1: that you could, you know, elevate case Keenom to a
Speaker 1: point where he can use these weapons in a little
Speaker 1: bit better of a way than whatever he did this year.
Speaker 1: Your defense is fine, right, So all I'm saying is
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio better find himself a rock solid offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: That's when it comes down to me. I would have
Speaker 1: liked to see them go more on the offensive of
Speaker 1: the ball because they already got a good defense. I
Speaker 1: love what the Browns are doing. I love what the
Speaker 1: Browns are doing. The Browns have decided to, in essence,
Speaker 1: bet on themselves as an organization. You got Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: who came on and feeling dangerous, right, not given a
Speaker 1: damn right being fined, staring down as former coach and
Speaker 1: looking at the other sidelines and stuff like that. Right,
Speaker 1: I like what they're doing. Ever since, you know, Freddy
Speaker 1: Kitchens came not came in, but became the O C
Speaker 1: and the play callers right after the debacco with you
Speaker 1: Jackson and Todd Haley. Ever since then, the second half
Speaker 1: of the season, Baker Mayfield has been one of the
Speaker 1: top rated quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield and Freddie
Speaker 1: Kitchens and Greg Williams. I guess they won seven games
Speaker 1: this year. This is for a franchise that has won
Speaker 1: four games in the last three years combined. They knew
Speaker 1: they had something going and they didn't want to upset it,
Speaker 1: so they let Freddie Kitchens stay. My problem with this
Speaker 1: is that they had to cut Greg Williams loose. Also,
Speaker 1: it was Greg Williams who had the interim tag, right,
Speaker 1: and Greg Williams was at the top of the food
Speaker 1: chain under this, you know, the seven win season for
Speaker 1: much of it, right. I understand that you wanted to
Speaker 1: go with the offensive guy, Freddie Kitchens. I understand that
Speaker 1: it would have been weird too, after having Greg Williams
Speaker 1: be your interim head coach all of a sudden have
Speaker 1: them be just the defensive coordinator reporting to the head coach.
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, I understand that why not have a co
Speaker 1: head coach. The Browns do crazy things anyway, with their
Speaker 1: moneyball schemes. If I would have told you five years
Speaker 1: ago that teams would be going for it on their
Speaker 1: own forty on fourth and four all the time, you
Speaker 1: think I was crazy. If I would have told you
Speaker 1: five years ago that in Major League Baseball, multiple teams
Speaker 1: are just gonna run out an opener to pitch from
Speaker 1: one inning, you would have thought I was crazy. If
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago I would have told you that that
Speaker 1: would be dramatic shifts in Major League Baseball all over
Speaker 1: the place, you would have thought it was crazy. Twenty
Speaker 1: years ago, if I'd have told you in the NBA
Speaker 1: there had been more three pointer shots than twos, you
Speaker 1: would think I'd be crazy. Why couldn't this work? You know,
Speaker 1: Kitchens as the first time head coach, maybe he needed
Speaker 1: a guy like Greg Williams with that experience for some duties.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think they had a good
Speaker 1: thing going, and I'm a little bit upset. You know
Speaker 1: that they wound up uh casting Greg Williams aside. He
Speaker 1: will get a job, and he was a big part
Speaker 1: of what they did in the second half of the season,
Speaker 1: although I anticipate and I accept that Freddie Kitchens and
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is really the combination. And then that brings
Speaker 1: us to the New York Jets. We've hired Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: as their quarterback. As y'all knows, that's over Beat Cipher,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician is a Yankees fan, all right, he
Speaker 1: I mean, and a Jets fan, Okay. So I was
Speaker 1: all over this. I wanted Mike McCarthy. I was excited
Speaker 1: about the potential of Mike McCarthy, right, bringing in an
Speaker 1: established guy to take his experience with Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: all that stuff and go work with Sam Donald, get
Speaker 1: some respect, to get an established name out there. That's
Speaker 1: the way I wanted to go. If they didn't go
Speaker 1: that way, then it was all about these up and
Speaker 1: coming kids, right, Todd Monkin as the offensive coordinator over
Speaker 1: there in Tampa, ascending Eric bi enemy the offensive coordinated
Speaker 1: over there in Kansas City. Some of these college guys, right,
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Riley's the Matt Rules of the World, right,
Speaker 1: I would have been into those. To me, Adam Gays
Speaker 1: is a retread. To me, Adam Gays is a retread
Speaker 1: that tried and couldn't do it in the same division
Speaker 1: with Miami, He's supposed to be this quarterback whisperer. I
Speaker 1: don't think Ryan Tannehill really developed that much. I'll give
Speaker 1: you this that the only season Tannahill was healthy the
Speaker 1: Dolphins when I think ten and six and did make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But he does not inspire me. This is
Speaker 1: a very uninspiring move in my opinion. We had uh
Speaker 1: missed the other Martinez in the chat room on Tuesday
Speaker 1: telling me about his Dolphins and all this stuff. I
Speaker 1: wonder how he feels about Gays being the head coach
Speaker 1: now the Jets. You know, Uh, it just doesn't vibe
Speaker 1: for me. I will say this. He has described as
Speaker 1: an offensive mind, a quarterback whisperer, and I do think
Speaker 1: that the thing they needed to do most Yeah, actually,
Speaker 1: you're right. They need a coach to beat the past.
Speaker 1: That's maybe that's true, right, and I guess Gays has
Speaker 1: done that. But what they needed was this offensive mind,
Speaker 1: and he does check that box. But I do not
Speaker 1: like the stories I heard out of Miami at the
Speaker 1: end of his season that some of these guys didn't
Speaker 1: want to play for him that they were quitting on him.
Speaker 1: He was churning and trying to set a culture. J
Speaker 1: G I E and Domincan sue. I get it, but
Speaker 1: I don't want him to come all into New York
Speaker 1: and think he's gonna run the town. And I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit worried about that. You know, That's what it
Speaker 1: comes down to for me. Yep, you're right. G falls
Speaker 1: gotta love the Jets commitment to mediocrity. You know, we
Speaker 1: will see, well, we'll see if he learns anything from
Speaker 1: his experience in Miami. Hopefully he can take Sam Donald
Speaker 1: to the next step so that when he is and
Speaker 1: you got you guys have heard me say this. So
Speaker 1: when he's a third or fourth year quarterback and Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is walking away, it's go time for the j
Speaker 1: E T S Jets, Jets, Jets. Last thing I'll say
Speaker 1: about this, I want to give a tip of a
Speaker 1: cap to mom man Bruce Arians. I told you he's
Speaker 1: down there at Tampa. He's gonna have a former Jets
Speaker 1: head coach, Todd Bowls as his defensive coordinator. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have Byron Leftwick as his offensive coordinator who he was grooming.
Speaker 1: He's gonna let him call the plays. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what I like. Not one but two African American
Speaker 1: coordinators he's hired and grooming them to potentially be head coaches.
Speaker 1: B A always down with the people. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we talk about DFS nuggets. Let's win a little bit
Speaker 1: of extra cash in the divisional round. Come on back
Speaker 1: to fantasy free stuff from the NFL to the NBA.

Speaker 1: That's what it is. Fantasy freestyle right here with your boy,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez, the spitting statistician holding you down on a
Speaker 1: Thursday evening as we head into the best weekend in
Speaker 1: football in my opinion. He got two games on Saturday,
Speaker 1: two games on Sunday, and the Big Boys are back
Speaker 1: at it again. By the way, yo, listen to my
Speaker 1: man strong style over there. Smash that like button. Let's
Speaker 1: get it up over the next segment. Stephen Cormier, a
Speaker 1: lot of people asking about Kyler Murray for the Broncos. Stephen,
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe here's the one thing that I'm iffy
Speaker 1: on about Kyler Murray. Dude is even shorter than Baker. Dude,
Speaker 1: is even shorter than Russell Wilson. Dude, he is even
Speaker 1: shorter than Drew Brees, right, and like he's a dynamic talent,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong about that. I don't know that
Speaker 1: it's gonna play like Baker was a special individual. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm on the Kyler Murray train. You know,
Speaker 1: he might be one of those guys that were great
Speaker 1: in college that don't translate to the NFL. I would
Speaker 1: rather Dwayne Haskins. I think he's got that NFL body.
Speaker 1: I've seen him be accurate in the Big ten, which
Speaker 1: is a little bit different than the Big twelve. Still,
Speaker 1: so like I think he could be good, but I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's like the guy I would be
Speaker 1: targeting that's out there for Stephen and others. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to j R. Don't sweat that baby. We
Speaker 1: are however, though, Jim, we are going to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit of DFS right now because I want everybody
Speaker 1: to win their leagues. And when the cash and everybody's
Speaker 1: already won their league, stat's overbeat cipher. Yo, we won
Speaker 1: titles left and right. Dilly dilly to everybody. If you
Speaker 1: don't believe me, check my Twitter timeline at spitting speeds.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I got a pull question up
Speaker 1: as well. My question for you is which team that
Speaker 1: one last weekend on Wildcard weekend has the best chance
Speaker 1: to pull the upset all right, because they are all underdogs,
Speaker 1: all the winning teams. Is it the Dallas Cowboys, isn't
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers? Is it the Indianapolis Colts? Or
Speaker 1: is it the Philadelphia Eagles. Thanks to the hundreds of
Speaker 1: people who have already voted, um, I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: know at the end of the show, after we give
Speaker 1: out my picks and we give out some kids picks
Speaker 1: as well. I'm very excited about that. A Jim Rose,
Speaker 1: get your homegirl, Candice, ready to listen. She's gonna be
Speaker 1: on air in about twenty minutes. All right, here's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. I gotta give you some DFS nuggets, guys,
Speaker 1: because I think there's some value here, I really really do. Okay.
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say as a precursor to
Speaker 1: all of this, there is supposed to be some snow
Speaker 1: in New England on Sunday, all right, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: hearing right now. But we're forty seventy two hours away, right,
Speaker 1: seventy two hours away, right, so we can't be entirely sure.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be some snow and nastiness out there
Speaker 1: in Foxboro, and you gotta account for that. And so
Speaker 1: from now until then, if it looks like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be bright eyed blue s guys, right, then he a
Speaker 1: justin kind, right, But if it's gonna be snowing and stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, you just have to take that into consideration.
Speaker 1: And I don't speak to you guys from now until then,
Speaker 1: so I do have to make that point. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you this. I like Marlon Mack. This week. I
Speaker 1: like Marlon Mack as a running back. This week he
Speaker 1: is at seventy three on FanDuel. All right, listen, Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack has been a beast recently for the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: And it's more than just that. It's the amount of
Speaker 1: touches he's getting. Three of the last four games, twenty
Speaker 1: four carries, twenty five carries, twenty seven carries against Dallas
Speaker 1: in the middle of December. Okay, they are feeding him
Speaker 1: the rock. I like that. You know what else I
Speaker 1: like about Marlon Mack At seventy three hundred this weekend.
Speaker 1: I like that the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, have
Speaker 1: the thirty first defense ranked defense in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: like that the Kansas City Chiefs are giving up five
Speaker 1: yards to carry. That means Marlon Mack. You know what
Speaker 1: else I like about Marlon Mack. I like the fact
Speaker 1: that I think the Colts are gonna try to keep
Speaker 1: Patty mahow Homes on the sideline. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: That means time of possession, That means trying to not
Speaker 1: give the Chiefs the ball. That means running the ball
Speaker 1: with Marlon Mack behind that offensive line that has only
Speaker 1: led Andrew Look get sacked eighteen times all season, did
Speaker 1: not get sacked last week against the Houston Texans. They're
Speaker 1: starting to block for Marlon Mack as well. I know listen, guys,
Speaker 1: I know that this week all the big boys are there. Right.
Speaker 1: So you got Todd Gurley as an option, you got
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott as an option, you got Alvin Kamara as
Speaker 1: an option. Let me tell you if you can't, if
Speaker 1: you can't afford some of those guys and you need
Speaker 1: to go one level down, Marlon Mack is the place
Speaker 1: to go. You heard who. So here's the thing, y'all
Speaker 1: want to talk. Listen. If you want to put Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley in your lineup, all right, I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: that's stupid. You want to put Zeke Elliott in your lineup,
Speaker 1: all right? I think he's probably gonna get touched the
Speaker 1: ball thirty times. Also, so I understand all that. I'm
Speaker 1: giving you nuggets of guys that you want to play,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit lower, maybe a little contrarian. Right,
Speaker 1: here's another a guy I like you go to that
Speaker 1: Philly New Orleans game at the end of the weekend, right,
Speaker 1: give me some Darren Sprawls. Tiny Darren scoring all the
Speaker 1: tiny touchdowns, all the tiny time. Give me Darren Sprawls
Speaker 1: at only fifty four hundred on fan duel, That is
Speaker 1: cheaper than Whendel Smallwood. I believe, Okay, as I look, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Darren Spoils is going for cheaper than Whendel Smallwood last weekend.
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls fifteen touches last weekend when the Smallwood I
Speaker 1: think it was twelve, maybe it was even down to ten.
Speaker 1: Josh Adams one. Everybody in their right mind, everybody that
Speaker 1: I've heard so far worth their salt. Maybe not some
Speaker 1: of the kids, but we'll get to that a little
Speaker 1: bit later on everyone. Speaking of Saints, you know, the
Speaker 1: Saints are something like a eight point favorite. I believe
Speaker 1: right now they are an eight point favorite. If you
Speaker 1: believe in that, then you gotta think the game flow
Speaker 1: is that Philly is gonna be down. What running back
Speaker 1: do you expect to be on the field for the
Speaker 1: majority of the game if the Eagles are down, it's
Speaker 1: Darren m f Sprawls that too, And if I can
Speaker 1: get him at what is it fifty four hundred? I
Speaker 1: believe it is fifty four hundred on fandel I think
Speaker 1: that's viable. Okay, he's gonna catch five six balls out
Speaker 1: of the backfield, he's gonna get twelve carries. They have
Speaker 1: no problem running him in between the tackles. I think
Speaker 1: this is a value, especially as as most people think
Speaker 1: if they're down, you know, I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: down and the third quarter, it's gonna be Darren sprawls
Speaker 1: on the field. All right. So that's an interesting volume
Speaker 1: play if you want to go a little bit lower.
Speaker 1: Here's another thing I think is interesting. This week. You
Speaker 1: got four tight ends that uh you know, over six
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's like, you know who they are. You
Speaker 1: got Travis Kelsey. Cool, what am I gonna tell you
Speaker 1: that's a bad play. You got Zach Ertz. This is
Speaker 1: a man who set the NFL record for receptions by
Speaker 1: a tight end this season. Right, so I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you that's a bad play. You got Rick Abron at
Speaker 1: six hundred. All this dude has done is like catch
Speaker 1: touchdowns left and right. He's got like thirteen touchdowns on
Speaker 1: the season. And like I said, you know, I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go back and forth with these colts, right,
Speaker 1: I'm with the chief. So, yeah, Eric Ebron, I'm with that,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think it's interesting though, the fourth
Speaker 1: tight end on FanDuel, the fourth tight end at sixty
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars is Rob Gronkowski. Now I know that
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski has been a shell of his former self.
Speaker 1: Now I know that the man is probably gonna need
Speaker 1: like a fourth back surgery. I know that if you
Speaker 1: ask me, I'm sorry, Jim Ross, there's a greater than
Speaker 1: fifty chance that whenever the Patriots lose, Bronk has played
Speaker 1: his last game in the NFL. However, they had a bye,
Speaker 1: right and there's no Josh Gordon anymore, right, So I
Speaker 1: think this maybe the game where we see like Gronk
Speaker 1: summon it all up and give that one last herculean effort.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, he's as rested as he's gonna
Speaker 1: be after the bye. You know, this is as high
Speaker 1: leverage of a game as we're gonna see. The Chargers,
Speaker 1: their opponent has that pass rush, they have that secondary.
Speaker 1: Maybe Derwin James is gonna be on him right in
Speaker 1: shadowing Gronk, which would be a problem. But there's also
Speaker 1: a chance that you see Derwin James up Derwin James
Speaker 1: up in the box supporting the run. There's also a
Speaker 1: chance you see Derwin James looking at James White out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Right. I think this is as good
Speaker 1: a chance as any to put a little bit of
Speaker 1: Gronk in your lineups and hope that this is the
Speaker 1: week that they've been saving him for, that he's been
Speaker 1: resting up because now they need him. And in the snow,
Speaker 1: if Brady am gonna be throwing a downfield, maybe he
Speaker 1: looks to Gronk a lot. That's the narrative I'm on.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing you're never gonna get. Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski as the fourth most expensive tight end out of
Speaker 1: eight teams that are playing, he is the fourth most
Speaker 1: expensive tight end. So I think Gronk is definitely viable
Speaker 1: as your tight end play. All right. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to give you that. I want to give you Morelon
Speaker 1: Mac I like, I want to give you Gronk. I
Speaker 1: like Darren Sprowls. I like, let me give you one
Speaker 1: more nugget. And by the way, why are we only
Speaker 1: up to twelve likes? Guys? You're right, Jr. He did
Speaker 1: rest almost all season, right, But at the same time, like,
Speaker 1: when's it gonna happen? You know, I believe this is
Speaker 1: the Gronk game, That's what I'm saying. I believe like
Speaker 1: this might be his last. You know, Jim Ross, you
Speaker 1: know this better than anybody. Candice, you probably know this
Speaker 1: as well. This very well might be the last game
Speaker 1: Gronk ever plays a Gillette stadium, right, And if that's
Speaker 1: at least possible, I I really think they might give
Speaker 1: him uh, you know, I think they might give him
Speaker 1: a nice little uh. Ten targets, two touchdowns on the
Speaker 1: way out, and you want to take advantage of that.
Speaker 1: Here's the last thing I'm gonna give you, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to some of the uh, we'll go
Speaker 1: to the phone lines again. The number to call if
Speaker 1: you want to get down. I don't care if you're Candice,
Speaker 1: I don't care, A strong style, whoever you want, if
Speaker 1: you want to get down. The number to call this
Speaker 1: three four seven seven six seven six six one four.
Speaker 1: Here's one other guy like in DFS this week, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have him in every single lineup, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you it's someone who is at the minimum price.
Speaker 1: I have no idea how this guy is at the
Speaker 1: minimum price. I look at the Saints game. I look
Speaker 1: at the Saints Eagles game, right, I look at the
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You talk about how you like Drew Brees
Speaker 1: in the Dome all the time, right, And I got
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, and I got Michael Thomas in my line
Speaker 1: up already, right. I like Breese, I like Thomas. I
Speaker 1: like that stacking him up. I think that I think
Speaker 1: the Saints are gonna dump truck Philly. I think the
Speaker 1: Nick Foles magic comes to an end. Generally speaking, Uh,
Speaker 1: we could let that cat out of the bag. I'm
Speaker 1: on the Saints this week, all right, stand up, get
Speaker 1: crunk who that you know what it is? Um? But
Speaker 1: I look at the wide receivers of the Saints, and
Speaker 1: you've got Michael Thomas at eight four hundred. The next
Speaker 1: most expensive Saints wide receiver is Trey Kawon Smith at
Speaker 1: fifty three hundred. I don't think he's the number two
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Next Keith Kirkwood at I don't think
Speaker 1: he's the number two for the Saints. Next Austin Carr
Speaker 1: at hundred. I don't think he's the number two for
Speaker 1: the Saints. Tommy Lee Lewis at forty six hundred. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's the number two for the Saints. If
Speaker 1: you are a real deal with the Fantasy Freestyle, if
Speaker 1: you've been with us for over like a year or two,
Speaker 1: Jim Ross, Strong Style, Jilly Dilley and the crew, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. We had something here on
Speaker 1: set all last year. What was his name? That's who
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I think Ted gainn Jr. At forty
Speaker 1: five hundred on fan Duel is a no nonsense, great
Speaker 1: contrarian play in tournaments. This week, Okay, I think he
Speaker 1: is the number two wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: He came back from injury. I think it was week sixteen.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check it out right now, and he was
Speaker 1: performing as the number two wide receiver for New Orleans.
Speaker 1: You add to that that the Philadelphia Eagles are thirty
Speaker 1: in the NFL against the past. Yes, okay, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was Week sixteen. He comes back, he
Speaker 1: has eight targets, he goes five for seventy four. Ted
Speaker 1: Gain telling you right now, I think he's gonna get
Speaker 1: behind this Philadelphia secondary for big play and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be part of the Saints thumping of the Eagles this
Speaker 1: week when they win something like thirty eight to fourteen,
Speaker 1: one of those touchdowns is gonna be Ted Gain Jr.
Speaker 1: Get him in your lineups at only forty five hundred,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, it was a little bit of value
Speaker 1: in that one. Shall we say? You know, strong Style
Speaker 1: was talking about how the Chargers patch will be a
Speaker 1: run game. I was talking to Davis Maddock, who's real
Speaker 1: who's joining our team over at Rhodo Experts, and he
Speaker 1: was saying some of the same things he was. He
Speaker 1: was the one who talked to me about the weather
Speaker 1: reports potentially there. He was the one who told me, yeah,
Speaker 1: he likes the run game there as well. Um. He
Speaker 1: was talking about how he likes Sony Michelle and Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon as kind of pivots off of these big time backs, right.
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. Um, I still think James White
Speaker 1: will be the back that scores more points than Sony Michelle.
Speaker 1: I think he's where your bread is buttered, if you
Speaker 1: want to know the truth on that. But we shall see. Hey,
Speaker 1: we got the phone lines open and we got a call,
Speaker 1: so I want to do that right now, Danny. We
Speaker 1: got Liz and Cally. It looks like right, let's get

Speaker 1: but I am so glad because I remember you called.
Speaker 1: We had some sid start situations and some questions for
Speaker 1: your championship, right, so you went ahead and won your
Speaker 1: league and one that cash. That's correct, all thanks to
Speaker 1: the Cipher. Hey, that's what's up. That's what I like
Speaker 1: to hear. Thank you, Liz, Thank you Liz for calling in. Um,
Speaker 1: it's not all because of the Cipher. It's also because you, Liz,
Speaker 1: took the information and the analysis and the opinions and
Speaker 1: the thoughts that the SAT Silver Beat Cipher and the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network gave you, and then you made your
Speaker 1: own decisions. And those decisions were championship manager. Uh, dilly
Speaker 1: dilly for that, Liz, congratulations, thank you so much. Also,
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, um, thank you for teaching me
Speaker 1: how to fish and not just having me the fish.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's what we do, Liz, you know, but
Speaker 1: do me a favor though, Liz. If you know how
Speaker 1: to fish, you still gotta get in tune with the
Speaker 1: Fantasy freestyle. You can't abandon me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You can't be like you taught me. But now I
Speaker 1: don't need them anymore. Keep on coming back so you
Speaker 1: can win another championship and go back to back, all right,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. I really appreciate it, Liz, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for the call. Um. That's what we
Speaker 1: like to hear. That's what we're talking about. Guys stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher continuing to win their championships, Liz and Callie.
Speaker 1: So many of y'all hit me up on social media
Speaker 1: with you know, screenshots of you guys winning your championship.
Speaker 1: So many people hit me up on Patreon talking about
Speaker 1: winning your championship, and I thoroughly, thoroughly, Um, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, um for sure, yes, Henry, it was
Speaker 1: Ted Finn, But I'm talking about Ted Gain Jr. I
Speaker 1: like him a lot as a DFS play this week
Speaker 1: at the bargain Basement minimum of forty five hundred. You
Speaker 1: want to get him in your lineups? All right? I
Speaker 1: told you about updated Super Bowl odds the Saints of
Speaker 1: the favorite at plus two four plus two fifty Chiefs
Speaker 1: and Rams at plus four hundred, Pats at plus five
Speaker 1: fifty Charges plus nine hundred Colts plus twelve Eagles plus
Speaker 1: fourteen Cowboys plus eighteen hundred. All right, if you want
Speaker 1: to go, here's here's what I'm gonna say. What you
Speaker 1: could do right now. Here's what you could do right now,
Speaker 1: all right. If you feel strongly about the Rams or
Speaker 1: the Saints, bet them right now, because their prices are
Speaker 1: only going lower. Their prices are only gonna go down.
Speaker 1: So if you feel strongly about the Saints or the Rams,
Speaker 1: bet them now, because if they both advanced, which I
Speaker 1: personally think they both will um, then those prices are
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot shorter, all right. So that's what
Speaker 1: I would say. This is a very good week to
Speaker 1: make that futures bet, all right, because once you're down
Speaker 1: to four. They're all gonna be really short odds. No
Speaker 1: one's gonna be more than like plus six hundred after
Speaker 1: as we get into the championship game. I will tell
Speaker 1: you this I really like and well, well, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of teasing my picks at the same time. These two
Speaker 1: a f C underdogs, the Colts and the Chargers at
Speaker 1: plus nine hundred and plus twelve hundred, that would be
Speaker 1: a very interesting spot to go if you ask me,
Speaker 1: and the poll seems to back that up. I'm asking you, guys,
Speaker 1: which that one in wild card weekend has the best
Speaker 1: chance to pull an upset this weekend? Right now, forty
Speaker 1: three percent of you say the Los Angeles Charges. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been on the Chargers all season long. We'll see
Speaker 1: if I picked them this week. And then second is
Speaker 1: that the Indianapolis Colts, Right so, only fourteen percent say
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Only four percent say the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Thanks again to everybody who was voting in on that poll.
Speaker 1: We're about to head to a commercial break in a
Speaker 1: hot second, right but I do want to say this
Speaker 1: shout out to Clayton Trey Hand always response to the
Speaker 1: polls and says the Chargers was the last one they
Speaker 1: wanted to see as New England because you know he's
Speaker 1: New England fan. When't mine seeing Rivers get a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl before he retires, just don't want it to come
Speaker 1: at the expense of knocking out their Patriots. Do I
Speaker 1: think the Patriots survive in advance? Or do Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: and the Chargers continue on. I'll let you know. On
Speaker 1: the other side of the break, kids picked the games
Speaker 1: to come on back? Did you know that you can

Speaker 1: me know, come on you and there and and the
Speaker 1: video for that that like snowboarding or something that's another
Speaker 1: topic for another day. All right, speeds Verse the kids,
Speaker 1: here's what we're doing. All right, I am so excited
Speaker 1: about this. Danny Otto, Venmo Brian by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: calling him Venmo Brian now and I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. If you're gonna here Tuesday's show, Hey, Venmo, Brian,
Speaker 1: and Danny Otto, you're down there with me, all right? Cool? So,
Speaker 1: first of all, Danny, I have a question we gotta adjudicate,
Speaker 1: and I, like everybody in the chat room, I want
Speaker 1: to know how y'all feel about this. There are two
Speaker 1: people in speeds Verse, the kids who I have their picks,
Speaker 1: but I did not have audio or video proof of
Speaker 1: their picks, and Dany Otto is one of them. Danny
Speaker 1: told me that last week that he had the Colts,
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Chargers. Excuse me, that he had the Colts, Uh,
Speaker 1: he had Seattle who was there only his loss, and
Speaker 1: then he had the Chargers, and that he had the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe him stats over beat Cipher.
Speaker 1: Should we take Danny Otto at his word and give
Speaker 1: him three and one for last week? That's my first
Speaker 1: question for you, because I also I got another kid,
Speaker 1: all right, I got Zoe. You know, Zoe. Zoe was
Speaker 1: one of the kids that picked last year. Her dad
Speaker 1: Matt text me and was like, yo, Zoe's picking. Boom boom,
Speaker 1: boom and boom and I'm like, hmmm, h really and
Speaker 1: then he's also like, oh, by the way, Zoe changed
Speaker 1: her pick from Houston to Indie. Really, So, Danny, what
Speaker 1: do you think about that? First we'll talk about Zoe.
Speaker 1: I got the picks just from Dad, no audio of Zoe,
Speaker 1: no video of Zoe, just the text from Dad. Does
Speaker 1: that count? Can we validate that? Can we trust that? Danny? Well,
Speaker 1: that did send them to me before the games? That
Speaker 1: that was gonna be my first conecition was whether he
Speaker 1: sent it before before the game's kicked off, even when
Speaker 1: he said, oh, I'm switched she switched Houston to Indeed,
Speaker 1: that was before kickoff of the game. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, it's suspect, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but you're suspect too. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You better be careful how you say it. Right. Um,
Speaker 1: here's what I wanna do. I want to give you
Speaker 1: guys both the three and one, but put an asterisk
Speaker 1: on it this way because I'm three and one also,
Speaker 1: but I'm a legit three and one. I put it
Speaker 1: up there. If I'm a video for everybody to see,
Speaker 1: I put my picks out there, right, everyone knows why
Speaker 1: I picked. Well, here's the thing. I mean, you never
Speaker 1: asked me ahead I was in that was in the
Speaker 1: West Coast. I mean he was on the trying to
Speaker 1: get you involved, but I'm trying to get too involved.
Speaker 1: So you are three and one with an asterisk, all right?
Speaker 1: Then fair enough? And Danny, because I'm giving you the asterisk,
Speaker 1: I'll let you pick the Saints, all right, So you're
Speaker 1: going with the Colts, the Rams, the Chargers, and the Saints.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? All right? We got a number of
Speaker 1: kids involved here. We got Mikaela, we got my man,
Speaker 1: Dylan a k A. Tito, we got Audrey a k A. Goose.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to Derrick Davis, who sent me a
Speaker 1: video of his three year old son picking the games.
Speaker 1: And big shout out to Jim Ross. Uh stats over
Speaker 1: beat cipher on. Jim Ross sent me video of his
Speaker 1: lovely daughter Candice although a Jim Ross next time, can
Speaker 1: she not be wearing a Boston Red sock shirt? That
Speaker 1: was a little bit like. I saw it and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is amazing. But she's rocking the
Speaker 1: Boston Red Socks shirt. There's a problem for me. Jim Ross.
Speaker 1: You know I love you and all, but come on, man,
Speaker 1: what are you trying to stick it to me like that?
Speaker 1: After you beat me in the playoffs? You gotta twist
Speaker 1: the knife, bro alright, But in any event, so here's
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. Um, first game, first game of
Speaker 1: the weekend is the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts. Uh,
Speaker 1: venmo'brian or Danny? Who do we have? What kid do
Speaker 1: we have picking this game? We have MICHAELA. We've got
Speaker 1: Michaela's pick. Michaela's pick for the Chiefs and the Colts.
Speaker 1: Let's play it. Who does she like? Okay? Hello, can
Speaker 1: you introduce yourself? Hi? My name Michael. First off, we
Speaker 1: have Kansas City Chiefs versus Indianapolis Colt. Indianapolis, that's valid.
Speaker 1: She likes horses. Colts are apparently baby horses, right apparently?
Speaker 1: And uh, she's riding with the Colts. That's solid analysis.
Speaker 1: He venmo'brien. Do we have any other picks for this game?
Speaker 1: I think that's the only one. All right, No problem,
Speaker 1: So he Ven O'Brian, who are you picking for this game? Brother?
Speaker 1: You're on the Colt. Wow. A lot of people seem
Speaker 1: to be on the Colts despite the fact that the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are at home and everyone loves Patty Mahomes and
Speaker 1: that five point spread the Chiefs of five point favorites. Um,
Speaker 1: I too, and taking the Indianapolis culture boy speeds spitting
Speaker 1: statistiction is officially picking the Indianapolis Colts to go into
Speaker 1: Arrowhead and beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you why. And I mentioned a lot of it when
Speaker 1: I talked about the Marlon mack dfs play. Chiefs of
Speaker 1: three and three in their last six games. Two of
Speaker 1: those three to the Oakland Raiders. The other one win
Speaker 1: was in overtime against Baltimore. Right. They've lost to good teams,
Speaker 1: even teams that came in there. They lost to the
Speaker 1: Chargers who came in there. They lost the Seattle right. Um,
Speaker 1: so I think they're right for the picking. I think
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are a different team without Kareem Hunt. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Damian Williams is good. He's he adds a little something different.
Speaker 1: He's a little dynamic, he's got a lot of speed.
Speaker 1: Y'all know I was on him on that Thursday night
Speaker 1: football game. I gave that one to you cold, right.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a different team. I think
Speaker 1: the Colts defense is underrated, and I think Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: and Frank Reich have something going right now. The Colts
Speaker 1: of one ten of their last eleven. I believe in
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have won three and three in their last six.
Speaker 1: I know Andy Reid is great with an extra week
Speaker 1: of prep coming off to buy. I know the Chiefs
Speaker 1: at home are good. I know Patty Mahomes is amazing, right,
Speaker 1: I too, am taking the Indianapolis Colts to win. I
Speaker 1: think they win outright. I think the Colts are very dangerous.
Speaker 1: I've been telling you, guys for about a month and
Speaker 1: a half. I've thought that, and I'm I've been giving
Speaker 1: you the Colts as a streaming defense all season long.
Speaker 1: Give me the Indianapolis Colts as my outright pick. I'm
Speaker 1: picking an upset in the a f C Speeds versus
Speaker 1: the Kids. All right, next game on Saturday night, we
Speaker 1: got the Los Angeles Rams and we got the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Hey Venmo Brian, Hey Danny Otto. Who do we have
Speaker 1: pick in this game? Have Audrey Audrey also known as Google?
Speaker 1: This is my god daughter, Okay, I love her to death,
Speaker 1: but she don't know a damn thing about football because
Speaker 1: her dad doesn't let her watch football because he's worried
Speaker 1: about like all that brain stuff and it's outlawed football
Speaker 1: in his house. So Audrey don't know, Jack. Let's see
Speaker 1: who Audrey likes in this next game? Play it second matchup,
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys versus the l A Rams l A Rams
Speaker 1: because they can ram the other team and horns. Okay,
Speaker 1: no doubt the Rams because they have horns. Listen, a
Speaker 1: ven O'Brien, can I get you one, a brother, man?
Speaker 1: So how do you feel about that? Audrey picked the
Speaker 1: Rams because they have horns. They're gonna take out your
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Saturday night? What do you say? Oh, I
Speaker 1: can't disagree because that's a fact. But if that's right,
Speaker 1: you cannot disagree with solid analysis like that. The Rams
Speaker 1: do have horns, therefore they win. No, Brian, guess who're
Speaker 1: you taking into that game? Bro? Cowboys? Do you think outright?
Speaker 1: Or with the points? If it's over a touchdown, I'll
Speaker 1: go money line. If it's under, I'll take the points.
Speaker 1: It is it is, it is. It's a seven and
Speaker 1: a half right now, money money line, you can get
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys right now. At plus two sixty. If
Speaker 1: you got a hundred bottlers, you can turn it into
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty dollars real quick if you've got
Speaker 1: the Stones to bet that Cowboys money line. But Audrey
Speaker 1: is not with you, Brian, how does it feel to
Speaker 1: be betting against Audrey last year? Audrey on something like
Speaker 1: six and five in the playoffs? You hurts a little bit.
Speaker 1: But what if I tell you that, um, they're also
Speaker 1: against the spitting statistician, I too, am taking the Rams.
Speaker 1: I think the Rams, listen. I think the Cowboys could
Speaker 1: keep it close if they give Zeke the ball like
Speaker 1: we've talked about before, Brian, if they give the z
Speaker 1: the ball like thirty five times and try to do
Speaker 1: the time of possession thing, try to limit the possessions
Speaker 1: of the Rams. You know, maybe if vander esh can
Speaker 1: like reaggravate that girly injury, I think they got a shot.
Speaker 1: But I don't think so, Bro, give me the Rams.
Speaker 1: I would even take the Rams to cover the seven
Speaker 1: and a half if you want to know the truth.
Speaker 1: But give me the Los Angeles Rams my official pick
Speaker 1: for the Saturday night game. I'm riding with Audrey, all right,
Speaker 1: That's what it goes down to I want to also
Speaker 1: tell you I am also riding. Most of these kids
Speaker 1: are picking the Rams. Michaela picked the Rams. Our boy
Speaker 1: Danny Otto down there picked the Rams. Dylan picked the Rams.
Speaker 1: We heard Audrey picked the Rams. Derek Davis picked the Rams.
Speaker 1: I think the homegirl, Candice Jr's daughter, is the only
Speaker 1: one who picked the Cowboys. Um, so, do we have
Speaker 1: something from Candice Brian? Uh? Yeah, well what game does
Speaker 1: Candice pick? Yeah? Listen, Candice, you know Jim Ross I
Speaker 1: love you. Jr. Sent me the video of his lovely
Speaker 1: daughter Candice picking the games, and she's rocking a Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox shirt. So I think we know who she's
Speaker 1: going to pick when it comes to the Pats and
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Let's get Candice and Jr's pick. I hope
Speaker 1: Aredn feated to her, but I think she did this
Speaker 1: one on her own. Let's see it on Sunday. Is
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers versus the New England Patriots? Grandfather
Speaker 1: bet alright? In the best game. That's solid analysis right there,
Speaker 1: Jim Russ. That's slid analysis that Candice is bringing me
Speaker 1: telling me Tom Brady is the best. What do I
Speaker 1: say to that. You know what I'm saying, Jim, What
Speaker 1: do I say to that? Your daughter is talking about
Speaker 1: how Tom Brady is the best cool. Um, we'll let
Speaker 1: that one lie for right now. But here's the thing, JR.
Speaker 1: I know you're out there. Um, she said she takes
Speaker 1: the Pats because her mom and dad likes the Pats.
Speaker 1: What if she turned around and in you know, ten years, Jr.
Speaker 1: Is like, you know what, forget mom and dad, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be a Jets fan. How would you feel about that? Jr?
Speaker 1: Would you let her out the house and a Jet shirt?
Speaker 1: That's my question? Um? He Venmo, Brian or Daniel Otto?
Speaker 1: Well you guys picking charges Patriots Chargers? All right? All right, yep,
Speaker 1: he's on the charges. Here's the thing, guys, Okay, fair enough,
Speaker 1: that's over beat Cipher. Who did I say was gonna
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl? Back in August? I said
Speaker 1: the Chargers would be right? All year long. I've been
Speaker 1: telling you how much I love the charges all year long.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about Yo, the charges are built for
Speaker 1: this all year long. I've been talking about Melvin Ingram
Speaker 1: and Joey Boza all year long. I've been telling you
Speaker 1: about the era of good feelings. How now it's okay
Speaker 1: for them to be on the road because they don't
Speaker 1: have home field advantage anyway. And there's so many reasons
Speaker 1: to pick the charges. There were so many reasons to
Speaker 1: pick the charges. But I can't do it, guys, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it. I want
Speaker 1: to do it. I want to do it so bad,
Speaker 1: trust me, I want to do it. There's so many
Speaker 1: reasons why I want to pick the charges, okay, because
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I want to be right. So call it
Speaker 1: a little bit of reverse psychology. Call it the fact
Speaker 1: that I think I got a chance to, you know,
Speaker 1: get a game on these kids, if you want to
Speaker 1: know the truth, I hate myself for doing it. I
Speaker 1: can barely look myself in the mirror doing this. My
Speaker 1: official pick for this game is the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: Let's move on. You know, I think I'm kind of
Speaker 1: hedging my bet guys, I know I am. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of hedging my bet. Um. I love these Chargers, man,
Speaker 1: So one thing's gonna happen. Either I'm gonna get this
Speaker 1: pick right and get a game on these kids, or
Speaker 1: my a f C champion pick will be in the
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game. I know I'm hedging right here,
Speaker 1: give me the Chargers plus the four. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: you just don't make money betting against Tom Brady, betting
Speaker 1: against Bill Belichick in Foxboro. In this round. This is
Speaker 1: like straight up sacrificial lamb status, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like Clinton Trey Hands saying that the Chargers were the
Speaker 1: bad a bad matchup for the Pats. I think the
Speaker 1: Pats are bad matchup for the Chargers. I would take
Speaker 1: the Chargers in Kansas City. I take them against Indie,
Speaker 1: I'd take them against Houston. I'd take them against anybody
Speaker 1: else in the a f C except for at New
Speaker 1: England again at one o'clock. Y'all know, I love the Charges,
Speaker 1: but I'm officially picking the New England Patriots for this
Speaker 1: weekend fourth game. Fourth game up. You're right, Jim, Maybe
Speaker 1: not a game on Candice. We shall see, just to
Speaker 1: make it official, though. Candice is picks all right. She
Speaker 1: sent the Colts, who I agree with the Cowboys. That's
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna get the game on. Candice Jr. I
Speaker 1: got the Rams. She's on the Patriots. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: with her, although I like throw up in my mouth
Speaker 1: when I say it. And then she's on the Saints.
Speaker 1: Um venmo, Brian, who do we have making a pick
Speaker 1: on Saints Eagles? Ah? Dylan, that did it? That's my boy,
Speaker 1: Dylan a k A. Tito. Let's hear who he's picking
Speaker 1: Saints Eagles. I like his analysis on this one. Who's
Speaker 1: he got Adelphia Eagles versus the New Orleans Saint Phildelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles Because the Eagles represents the United States. And that's
Speaker 1: what's that is solid analysis right there? My man, Dylan
Speaker 1: a k a. Tito is picking the Philadelphia Eagles. Why
Speaker 1: Not because they're the defending Super Bowl champions, Not because
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is maybe on another big run, Not because
Speaker 1: he likes you know, uh, you know, Zach Ertz setting
Speaker 1: records for tight ends. Why because the Eagles represent America.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about, right Um. Sorry, though, Dylan,
Speaker 1: I'm picking against you. I'm taking the New Orleans Saints. Bro.
Speaker 1: I think they are gonna get boat raised. I like
Speaker 1: the Saints in the Dome. I don't think anybody is
Speaker 1: going in there and beating the New Orleans Saints in
Speaker 1: the Dome. So the Saints are my pick. So big
Speaker 1: shout out to michaela who went two and two last week,
Speaker 1: Danny Otto three and one. Big shout out to Dylan Audrey,
Speaker 1: Derrick Davis, his three year old son, who made a
Speaker 1: pick um. He's on the Chiefs, the Rams, the Charges
Speaker 1: in the Eagles, Philly Philly, and Candice who's on the Colts,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Patriots and the Saints. Hey Venmo, Brian,
Speaker 1: remember when we were talking about using cash and whatnot
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I have been asking everybody young, old, male, female.
Speaker 1: It seems like most people are like you, man, and
Speaker 1: they ain't carrying cash around. And if they are, it's
Speaker 1: like ten bucks or less. So let me ask you something, Brian.
Speaker 1: When you go to a store and there's a ten
Speaker 1: dollar minimum for the credit card, what do you do
Speaker 1: try to send you spend more? You spend more to
Speaker 1: get it over the limit. Yeah, it's ridiculous. And then
Speaker 1: so here's the thing, and I want to leave everybody
Speaker 1: with this. I only got a minute left. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to everybody, Big shout out to the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher. We'll talk next week about breaking down these
Speaker 1: and going its Championship Sunday. I'm on the subway literally,
Speaker 1: Brian the next morning, right, And you know sometimes you
Speaker 1: got people like singing in the subway or playing instruments,
Speaker 1: and you, you know, you throw them a little bit
Speaker 1: of change, right, you give him a dollar? Right? Yeah? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: Daniela put up on the screen with this guy had
Speaker 1: This guy is playing at in Washington Heights. That's where
Speaker 1: I live, by the way, see me uptown. And he's
Speaker 1: got his Venmo handle there right there. So if you
