We don't 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.639 know if he's gonna land in time or not, but 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.079 if he can, he will join the cipher and give 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.880 you his DFS lineup Week eight as well, I'm gonna 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.359 give you some more diamonds and fool gazes from other 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.360 Spotlight games, and as always, we are going to take 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.440 your calls as I try to help you get a 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.519 W four Week eight. Okay, you know the number of 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.440 quality eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.760 And then at the end of the show, we're also 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.000 gonna take any of your questions from the YouTube live stream. Okay, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.720 so if you're watching right now on YouTube, a couple 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.799 of things. One hit that thumbs up button right there. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.600 You know we like that. I want to let everybody 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.959 else know you like that as well.

But as I told you, we have a 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.560 poll question up. Which home dog do you think has 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.919 the best chance to win? Outright? In Week eight? The 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.040 New York Jets are home dogs. They're getting five points 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.480 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Washington football team is getting 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.840 two points at home against the Dallas Cowboys in an 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.600 NFC East matchup. The Detroit Lions on Sunday Night football 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.600 are getting two and a half points against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.480 Or do you think none of them are going to 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.519 win outright, as you know. Also, Game three of the 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.840 World Series kicks off, it'll be Lance mccolors and you 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.520 Darvish as the series switches down to Houston. You Darvish, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.840 in his time with l A has had a zero 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.920 point for whip. Will that continue? We shall see? Come 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.960 all right back. You know what it is. We're dropping 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.000 stats over beats.

Chris Bavona, the Manimal 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.200 holding it down on the ones in tunes. It is 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.480 a football Friday, yo. That was like a very vicious 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.680 roar right there. Maybe Chris could be like one of 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.160 those cats right there for Halloween. I think I'm gonna 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.520 have to be in costume on Halloween. You see us 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.280 here in this studio loving it if you're on the 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.240 live YouTube stream. All right, but let's get to it. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.000 Because it's a football Friday. We gotta give you the 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.800 news and notes around the NFL. First of all, I 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.760 don't know if you saw this already, but um Texans 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.120 owner Bob McNair made an interesting comment. Hello made an 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.320 interesting comment saying that he doesn't want the inmates running 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.920 the prison. A lot of Texans were very upset about that. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.920 They threatened to walk out of practice today, and DeAndre 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.200 Hopkins actually did. He did not practice, saying he was 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.680 very upset. The team is kind of behind them. There 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.080 will be no discipline or anything like that. But this 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:31.760 issue continues to show the great divide among not only 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.760 our society, but among the NFL as well players front office. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.600 It continues to be an issue we shall see. Keep 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.719 an eye on this as this develops, but d hop 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.000 will not have any discipline or anything like that. He 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.600 should be good to go against the Seattle Seahawks and 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.120 the Legion of Boom in a matchup that does maybe 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.320 depress his value. But remember Sherman stays on one side, 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.240 d hop is all over the field. I bet they're 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.760 gonna try to find ways to get DeAndre Hopkins away 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.280 from Sherman and to still get his targets wide receiver. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.320 And Quan Bolden apparently says he is attempting a comeback, okay, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.160 and he's been granted permission by the Buffalo Bills to 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.600 seek a trade. I remember thinking that in preseason that 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.119 Buffalo was a bad fit for him, and Kwan Bolden 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:13.760 said he wanted two things in the team he was 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.800 playing with. One he wanted it to be a contender too. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.200 He wanted him to be down south. I don't necessarily 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.720 think the Buffalo Bills fee either one of those. Here's 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.960 an idea of somewhere where he might go. What about 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.640 the aforementioned Houston Texans. Right they lost their tight ends, 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.360 they got Will Fuller to blow the top off a 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.200 stud in DeAndre Hopkins. What if they had an Kwan Bolden? 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.880 Is that kind of chain mover on third down? For 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.680 a young quarterback like Deshaun Watson who just got his 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.600 left tackle back as well. I think that could be interesting. 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.560 Keep an eye out on that as the trading deadline 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.120 hits next week. Alright, so, um there are. This week 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.920 has actually been a little bit light on injuries. I'm 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.080 knocking on wood over here. I don't want to jinx 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.839 ourselves and have everyone go down this week, but last 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.560 week was kind of light on in So here's the 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.200 injury report for you. C J pro Sise for Seattle 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.279 did not practice again today. He's got that ankle injury. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.600 I think it's gonna still be J. D. Mckissic in 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.800 the passing downs for them Detroit, remember they had to 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.160 buy last week. They have Sunday Night football. Looks like 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.400 Golden Tate is going to give it a go. He 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.440 had that shoulder injury, had the bye week to heal up. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.280 It looks like he will go against the Pittsburgh Steelers 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.160 on Sunday Night. However, Kenny Golladay, also in that wide 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.800 receiver corps, doesn't look like he's going to go. He 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.920 is out four week eight with that hamstring. But honestly, 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.120 if you listen to the fantasy freestyle. You know, I 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.920 do not believe in Kenny Golladay anyway. I think he's 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.400 that one hit one. They're called a mambo number five 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.360 um Removed from the injury report. This is interesting. This 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.960 week Michael Thomas in New Orleans, he's good to go. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.720 That knee. Remember they were never really concerned about it. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.320 He is, in fact good to go as the Saints 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.160 in the Dome take on the Chicago Bears. Wide receiver 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.640 for San Francisco, Mark he's Goodwin is good to go 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.040 as well. Removed from the injury report. He was struggling 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.200 with a back injury. Sounds like he could be good. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.720 And interestingly enough, I think there's gonna be garbage time 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.840 potential for forty Niners wide receivers. You may hear a 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.120 forty wide receiver in my DFS lineup a little bit 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.040 later on. And here's something of note. Josh Norman might 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.760 give it a go. It looks like he's gonna play 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.200 as the Washington football team hosts the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.440 I bring that up. We don't talk about defensive players much, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.800 but you know my narrative as it relates to Dez 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.320 Bryant when Dez Bryant is facing a non elite cornerback, 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.800 he blows up, but when he faces some of the 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.640 best cornerbacks in the league, they tend to shut him down. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.280 Josh Norman and Dez have you know, they've been talking 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.559 some smack as well. So watch what happens to Dez 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.559 if Josh Norman does play. I actually think he's had 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.359 success against Dez before. I think you temper your expectations 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.360 for Dez Bryant. And the last thing I want to 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.079 tell you because I think you know, I've gotten the 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.679 most questions on Twitter, most questions on the show about 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.360 this guy. You know who it is. It's my guys, Stephen, 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.400 can you digs it? He practiced again fully today, so 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.280 that's two days in a row. It does look like 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.000 he's gonna go. They wouldn't have made him take that 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.800 trip across the pond the twerquin Ham London game if 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.960 they didn't think he's gonna go. I've gotten a lot 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.440 of questions. Here's my thing on Stefon Diggs. I still 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.520 think that there's the potential for him to not be 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.480 at a hundred percent, to not be full of fully effective. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.240 Here's the way I would play it, and I have 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.000 Stefon Diggs and my main D season long league as well. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.000 If you are favored to win, if you think you 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.800 can win without him, go ahead and put someone else 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.560 in that spot. Okay, for example, I have the Baltimore 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.600 Ravens defense, so I'm up big, I'm favored to win 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.560 my matchup. I'm putting Mohammed Sanu in instead of Stefon 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.680 Diggs because I want to play it safe. I don't 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.199 want to take like the defecate the Mattress score. I 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.679 don't want to take a zero. I don't want him 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.319 to be a decoy. I don't want him to be 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.079 out there for thirteen snaps and then reaggravate something. However, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.000 if you're projected to lose, if you need that home 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.200 run play, if you need a guy like step Fawn 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.400 Digs to blow up, then go ahead and ride with him. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.360 I know it would really suck to have him on 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.719 your bench and blow up. Trust me, it happened to 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.240 me before. But I think if your favorite to win, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.480 you could play it safe and be conservative. If your 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.439 favorite to need a guy like Stefon Diggs and I 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.120 think you can run him out, I think he's more 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.240 of a wide receiver to three this week as he 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.040 still nurses his way back to health. With that growing, Okay, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.160 I want to talk about Thursday Night football real quick. Okay. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.120 First of all, Alex Collins, I think is now a thing. Okay, 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.760 Tony Romo was calling him like the Irish dancer, the 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.120 river dance. He does have quick feet. He did torch 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.320 the Dolphins eighteen carries for a hundred and three yards. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.079 When we do my fab budget Waiver Wire show next 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.679 week on Tuesday, I'm gonna tell you I do, in 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.440 fact believe in Alex Collins. And here's the other thing. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.880 This is gonna be the style for the Baltimore Ravens, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.240 especially if Ryan Mallett is under center for any period 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.400 of time. Okay, I think, much like the Jacksonville Jaguars, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.520 much like the Tennessee Titans, the way that the Ravens 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.400 are gonna try to win games moving forward are going 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.840 to be defense and the run game. And it looks 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.240 like Alex Collins is the lead back there. Okay. The 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.480 other thing is Buck Allen is still a thing. Also, 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.319 He's gonna slide into that third down pass catching role, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.319 and I think that is okay um. I told you 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.280 I was worried about that over under because I was 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.520 worried about defensive touchdowns, and the Ravens got to it 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.880 helped my lineup. Maybe it didn't help you if you 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.719 had the under as a lot of people thought with 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.679 that low total. I think it was thirty seven and 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.920 a half. Let me tell you though about my take 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.000 on this. Kiko Alonso, Joe Flacco play. Fat football is 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.040 a very fast game with the best athletes in the world. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.920 I say this when we saw that Davante Adams uh 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.760 Danny Trevathan play. I say this a couple of weeks ago, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.599 when we saw that Austin Safarian Jenkins play. And I 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.840 say this right now, sometimes slow motion replays make things 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.240 look a lot worse. When you saw that replay and 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.640 you saw his head snap back, similar to with Davante Adams, 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.319 where his mouth he's popped, similar to when you saw 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.200 the A. S. J. La Ross the far eye touchdown 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.880 that became a touch back hashtag game of inches. I 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.199 think our technology has gotten too good. I really do. 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.760 I think our technology has gotten so good that you 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.400 slow it down so much that you see everything. I 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.520 think if they just ran it at a quarter speed. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.000 You have a little bit of like common sense involved, 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.360 and what you would see is that Joe is going 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.360 so fast. Not he's giving himself up because he's going 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.720 feet first, but he's trying to get the first down, okay, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.160 and you have so little time to see like how 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.560 you want to hit him? Listen. Was it an ugly play? Yes? 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.959 Was it a dirty play? I don't think so. Will 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.880 he get fined? Probably? Should he got penalized? Absolutely, should 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.120 he get suspended? I stopped just short there. I actually 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040 think when you're watching football, when you're watching football this weekend, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.559 tell me how many plays you see that because of 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.240 the slow motion replay and how slow they can get 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.480 it these days, how great they can get the pictures, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.040 It actually changes your opinion. I actually think replays should 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.079 be like more like a quarter speed instead of the 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.240 incredible technology that they have now. But I digress on that. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.160 Let's look forward to some of the home dogs and 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.000 some of the big lines in front this weekend in 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.200 the NFL. First of all, the Jets are getting five 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.719 points at home against the Falcons. This was plus four. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.719 It's gone up to plus five because a lot of 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.959 people think the Falcons will take care of business. I 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.120 am among them. I think the Falcons come in there 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.920 finally make a statement. I think this could be like 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.120 a close game halftime in the third quarter, but I do, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.000 in fact expect the Falcons to pull away. I would 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.280 lay the points in this one and take the Falcons. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.079 The Washington football team is getting two points against the 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.040 Dallas Cowboys. I pass on this game. I don't like 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.120 a division game. I expect this to be close either way. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.160 Two points is not enough for me. I think this 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.319 is going to be a close game. I could see 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.480 it going either way. I would not lay Angie Shekels 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.200 on this game. The game I like, though. The home 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.560 dog that I like is the Detroit Lions and my man, 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.319 Jim Bob Cooter. You haven't heard me talk about Jim 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.520 Bob Cooter in a while, but I liked them in 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.800 this one. You know, the Steelers on the road or 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.120 a little bit different. And also, earlier in the week 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.240 I talked to you about this rest disparity. I think 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.840 that's a big deal. The Lions coming off there by 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.400 hosting a primetime game and welcome the Detroit the Pittsburgh Steelers, 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.600 and they're getting two and a half point. Do you 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.680 give me the Detroit Lions as the home dog that 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.000 I think has a chance to win out right? As 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.440 you know, the Lions are also in comeback mode, the 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.720 cardiac kids the fourth quarter and those kind of tight games, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.440 and they're at home. Give me the Lions plus two 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.800 and a half. When we come back. Here's what we're 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.880 gonna do. We're gonna open up the phone lines. As 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.080 Aaron Judges back, all rise for the judge. I got 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.600 a guy, Aaron Judge over here at Studio thirty four. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.720 We got people in the costume right here doing a thing. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.040 It's a holiday weekend. When we come back, We're to 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.200 open up the phone lines, and I'm gonna tell you 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.520 which double digit point favorite I would lay the point 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.480 with and which ones I would not. When we come back. 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.320 You know what it is, hashtag dropping stats over beats. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.280 That's the fantasy freestyle with your boy, Dave Martinez Speeds, 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.200 the spitting statistician. Come on back, ask me questions. I 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:25.720 got you Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas.

They're due 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.160 to break out, just like the fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.000 In year two, things are only getting better.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.520 Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is Dane 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.600 Martinez speaks and spitting status Issian holding you down on 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.360 a football Friday. And I gotta tell you something, Chris. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.240 Here at Studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's, there 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.600 are a lot of people in costume. I got nuns 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.040 walking by, I got Aaron Judged all Rise walking by. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.960 I even just saw Colin Kaepernick walk by. Everybody in 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.720 the holiday spirit. I hope you're having a great holiday 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.160 weekend as well. Halloween right around the corner on Tuesday. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:35.920 And as you know, if you're watching live on the 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.200 YouTube stream, we have decorated Studio thirty four in an 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.200 appropriate fashion. I told you that I wanted to talk 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.640 real quick about the double digit favorites. There's two double 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.040 digit favorites this week, and then two that are like 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.040 really on the precipice. Okay, The first is the Vikings 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.480 in London. They are minus nine and a half against 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.000 the Cleveland Browns. I say you could lay the point 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.440 in this one, all right. The Cleveland Browns are a 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.120 dumpster at O N seven. You've got Kenny Britt in 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.560 the doghouse. Hugh Jackson, who was known as like the 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.840 quarterback Whisperer, doesn't know what he wants to do. Deshaun 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.199 Kaiser is in and out. They went to Hogan, they 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.480 went to Kessler. They're going back to Deshaun Kaiser. I 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.800 think this is a horrible decision because why go back 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.240 to the kid against the Minnesota Vikings defense. This is 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.680 one of the best defenses in football. You're putting the 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.639 kid in a bad spot. What you need to do 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.639 is set the kid up in a position where he 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.880 could be successful. They gotta buy after this game. Why 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.480 don't they just wait until after the buy more time 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.720 to scheme some things, give the kid what he likes, 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.920 and then right out with the kid for the rest 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.000 of the season. That's what I would do. That's not 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.320 what Hugh Jackson's gonna do. I think this is a 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.680 dumpster fire of a game. I think the Vikings win big. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.960 I would lay the points Vikings minus nine. I like 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.600 that in London on early on Sunday morning. So that's one. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.360 Here's another one. I'm laying the points with the New 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.600 Orleans Saints nine and a half at home against the 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.760 Chicago Bears. Listen, the Saints have looked really good. And 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.280 the thing is their defense is much improved. They're much 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.440 improved to become like an average defense. They've also been 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.560 very opportunistic and are they're getting turnovers. I think there's 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.200 something like seventh in the league in turnovers. And and 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.160 the Bears don't trust Mitchell Robinski. He threw the ball 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.480 seven times last game. He was like four or seven 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:22.960 four a hundred yards and one of them was like 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.520 a seventy yard pass. That's a recoin. They do not 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.160 believe that they can give the keys to the car 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.200 to Mitchell Robinsky. I think the Saints can put up points. 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:36.760 I can see the Saints winning something, you know, thirteen, 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.359 something like that. The nine points don't scare me. With 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.120 a high powered offense like the Saints, I believe in them. However, 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.919 the Cincinnati Bengals are at home and they're going up 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.440 against the Colts, and I know everyone loves this matchup. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.880 I have some Bengals in my DFS lineup as well 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.760 that we're gonna go to in the next segment. But 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.080 I don't like the Bengals minus ten and a half 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.320 against anybody. The Bengals are a team that defecate the 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.280 mattress just when you start to trust in them. I 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.920 think they win the game. I think they produce. I 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.400 think it's good for fantasy, but I think the Colt 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.119 to get a backdoor cover here. I would be okay 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.600 with this, maybe at nine, but not at double digits. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.560 It's ten and a half right now. That extra half 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.159 point really really scares me. I can see this being 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.720 kind of game between seven seventeen kind of game, a 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.440 twenty to ten kind of game. That extra half point 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.720 really scares me. I don't think the Bengals should be 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:32.280 double digit points against anybody. I don't trust them just yet. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.120 I think they win, but I'm looking for a backdoor 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.320 cover from the Indianapolis Colts in Week eight, and the 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:43.160 last one is the Philadelphia Eagles are thirteen point favorites 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.640 against the San Francisco forty Niners. All of this shapes 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.200 up that the Eagles could cover this spread. San Francisco 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.120 going West to East. Everybody loves Carson Wentz, everybody loves 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.639 the Eagles. I think this could be a little bit 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.520 of you know what it is, Chris. It could be 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.880 one of those fetti wop trap games. And there's something 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.800 else I want to introduce you guys too. I listened 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.560 to another podcast every now and then when I get 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.399 my information sometimes and there's a thing out there what 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.359 they call the close your Eyes Special. What that means 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.960 is if a team underperforms the point spread one week 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:22.040 by twenty one, you just play them the next week, regardless. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.960 The Niners were her six point home dogs last week 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.879 and they lost by thirty. This qualifies as a close 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.399 your eyes special. And now with this huge line, everybody's 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.719 on the Philadelphia Eagles. I would stay away from this one, 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.399 but if you put a gun to my head, I 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.719 actually think this game could be a little closer than 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.960
