- 0:00Speaker 1: One. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back to another episode, episode
- 0:05Speaker 1: number one twenty two of the so called sports analysts. Josh,
- 0:08Speaker 1: how you doing.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Doing pretty good? I'm pretty tired. Today's my girlfriend's birthday,
- 0:14Speaker 2: so we just got back from that. Hopefully we'll see
- 0:19Speaker 2: on Monday if I'm doing better, because it's been a
- 0:24Speaker 2: little shaky, but I expect it to be a little
- 0:27Speaker 2: bit better. And yeah, set, it's a little different in
- 0:32Speaker 2: the background. I also didn't feel like moving my desk,
- 0:34Speaker 2: so we're here.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Hey, there's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with that.
- 0:38Speaker 1: We just got to chug it through. This episode should
- 0:40Speaker 1: be pretty quick. It's predictions. But before we start, find
- 0:43Speaker 1: us on Twitch, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube under TSCSA
- 0:47Speaker 1: with the so called sports Analyst. Whether you listen to

- 0:51Speaker 1: sure you share this to anybody that likes sports. But,
- 0:54Speaker 1: like I was saying, let's go ahead and get started
- 0:55Speaker 1: with this first game right here. Thursday Night football Miami
- 0:58Speaker 1: Dolphins versus Buffalo Bills AFC East matchup. Buffalo is favored
- 1:02Speaker 1: by eleven and a half. The over under is one
- 1:05Speaker 1: of one of the higher ones fifty and a half,
- 1:07Speaker 1: so expecting some points in this one. How do you
- 1:09Speaker 1: think this gun's gonna go.
- 1:12Speaker 2: I honestly think it's gonna be a blood bath for
- 1:14Speaker 2: the for the on the Miami Dolphins standpi, I think
- 1:18Speaker 2: they really don't have a chance in this one. I
- 1:20Speaker 2: think Buffalo is gonna get the job done quite easily.
- 1:24Speaker 2: The Dolphins just have not looked good. I understand they
- 1:26Speaker 2: put up a lot of points last week, but that's
- 1:28Speaker 2: also versus a team with a little bit of a
- 1:31Speaker 2: with the recovery in Christian Gonzalez, who is still coming
- 1:34Speaker 2: back from injury, even was still hindering in this last one.
- 1:37Speaker 2: And then if we look at the wide receiver cord
- 1:41Speaker 2: that they were having in the face is not necessarily
- 1:43Speaker 2: one of the best ones in the NFL, is actually
- 1:44Speaker 2: one that struggles quite a bit. I understand they had
- 1:47Speaker 2: Kishan Boudi kind of pop off in that first game,
- 1:50Speaker 2: but this is a whole different Animatests is Josh Allen's
- 1:53Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. This is James Cook in the backfield,
- 1:56Speaker 2: even though I don't think he's one of the best
- 1:58Speaker 2: running backs in the League's still gonna cast some Damni
- 2:00Speaker 2: against a dolphin's defense that's been struggling against anybody.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Did you see what Tua? He said? Shout out to
- 2:08Speaker 1: Damion by the way, always being the first one to join,
- 2:10Speaker 1: just shout out to him. Well, Breckon, he's not in
- 2:12Speaker 1: this one because we have we're doing predictions right now.
- 2:15Speaker 1: We have a bet going on between each other, so
- 2:18Speaker 1: but may maybe in the future. But I don't know.
- 2:21Speaker 1: If you saw what Tua he said, he said, yeah, Josh,
- 2:24Speaker 1: because he asked him about Josh Allen. He's like, yeah,
- 2:26Speaker 1: half of the things he does I can't do. I
- 2:30Speaker 1: don't know. As far as like a quarterback, I would
- 2:33Speaker 1: not say that, you know what I mean, like even
- 2:35Speaker 1: though you notice true, like it is true, but like
- 2:38Speaker 1: deep down, like you're not supposed to say that publicly,
- 2:41Speaker 1: like yes, we we know.
- 2:43Speaker 2: We know that. I'd almost rather him know his limitations, like.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You could know your limitations in public, but like to
- 2:51Speaker 1: say that, to say that, I don't know, But like
- 2:54Speaker 1: what if.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Tua like had like as Dereck Rose moment, was like
- 2:57Speaker 2: why can't I be MVP of the league? Like can
- 3:00Speaker 2: I you know, like it kind of just be like okay, bro,
- 3:04Speaker 2: how you doing keep it moving a little bit.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is true. He knows his role, But yeah,
- 3:10Speaker 1: Bills are gonna curbse not the Dolphins here. There are
- 3:12Speaker 1: reasons Josh Allen's eight to one versus the Dolphins or
- 3:16Speaker 1: versus two actually, and fantasy football wise, from the Dolphins side,
- 3:22Speaker 1: Devon h or actually, the entire Dolphins offense had a
- 3:25Speaker 1: good game, so we know you start Josh Allen. James Cook.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much it. Do you see any
- 3:33Speaker 1: receiver popping off for the Bills.
- 3:35Speaker 2: I would like to say key On Coleman, but the
- 3:39Speaker 2: thing is I'm kind of still staying away being like
- 3:42Speaker 2: confident and starting him. I just think it comes down
- 3:45Speaker 2: to game script, like if the if the doll If
- 3:47Speaker 2: the Bills immediately blow out the Dolphins here right off rip,
- 3:51Speaker 2: the passing game is gonna kind of become non existent.
- 3:53Speaker 2: They're going to head to the run game kind of
- 3:55Speaker 2: how they did last week. But the game script is
- 3:57Speaker 2: kind of just like they were versus Baltimore, where it's
- 4:00Speaker 2: both teams have to score really quick. I think Keon
- 4:02Speaker 2: Coleman's a very viable option, but that's also a lot
- 4:04Speaker 2: of ifs, like and it's something I'm not willing to
- 4:07Speaker 2: take a risk. You may have an option that's more
- 4:09Speaker 2: reliable at this moment in time than Keon Coleman until
- 4:12Speaker 2: he truly proves himself game in and game out instead
- 4:15Speaker 2: of having these these boom weeks. So for me, it's
- 4:19Speaker 2: really up to a matter of risk. He could be
- 4:21Speaker 2: a shaky flex start and give you a good twelve
- 4:23Speaker 2: where he could be like he was last week and
- 4:25Speaker 2: give you five points and you really just stuck with
- 4:28Speaker 2: a dud at your flex position. So I'm not too
- 4:31Speaker 2: confident in that one right there.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I think between the Joshua Palmer, Kaloschik,
- 4:37Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, it's it's just a big if. And then
- 4:40Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We know Devon Chen is a start. I
- 4:44Speaker 1: don't think he be starting to a but Tyreek gonna start.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Ty Tyreek had over one hundred jam and Watle had
- 4:51Speaker 1: a touchdown. So are you confident? Are you back on
- 4:54Speaker 1: the train after this?
- 4:56Speaker 2: I was never worried about Tyreek Hill, I'm am not
- 4:59Speaker 2: being completely honest. Always thought he was gonna get his
- 5:01Speaker 2: I mean, he's freaking Tyreek Hill. Hall of Famer. Yeah,
- 5:04Speaker 2: fastest guy in the fastest I don't know about no
- 5:06Speaker 2: more how that how that fares up, but he's definitely
- 5:08Speaker 2: still that big playmaker and if given an opportunity, So
- 5:12Speaker 2: I'm always gonna start Tyreek Hill. I mean, he may
- 5:15Speaker 2: not be the same consistency as he once was, which
- 5:18Speaker 2: we're still gonna have to wait and see because last
- 5:19Speaker 2: year was rough and for the first game was rough,
- 5:22Speaker 2: but this last game definitely looked like what Tyree could
- 5:24Speaker 2: do with nothing. And as far as Jalen Wattle, it
- 5:27Speaker 2: was a lot of the same. He had a rough
- 5:29Speaker 2: Week one, a rough last year as well too, dealing
- 5:32Speaker 2: a lot to cover two high safeties that that the
- 5:35Speaker 2: Dolphins really struggle against when when defenses present them that matchup.
- 5:39Speaker 2: As far as Jaylen Wattle, I'm not too sold. I'm
- 5:42Speaker 2: a little if he has a flex start, a flex
- 5:46Speaker 2: start if you are gonna start him. But for me,
- 5:48Speaker 2: it's just Tyreek Hill and Davon Chen are the only
- 5:50Speaker 2: players that I think that are startable from the Miami
- 5:52Speaker 2: Dolphins offense.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I would have to go with that.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I'd have to see more consistency with Jaylen Wattle. But
- 5:59Speaker 1: let's get to these twelve o'clock games, right, here Packers
- 6:02Speaker 1: versus Browns two and oer versus zero and two. Packers
- 6:05Speaker 1: are favored by seven and a half over unders forty
- 6:07Speaker 1: one and a half, one of the lowest lower ones
- 6:10Speaker 1: of the week. This is in Cleveland, by the way,
- 6:12Speaker 1: so I don't know if that means anything. So how
- 6:15Speaker 1: much how much are the Packers winning? Buy it better? Yet?
- 6:18Speaker 1: Let me ask that for me.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I think the Browns offer like like they could get
- 6:26Speaker 2: blown out, of course, but they offer show me as
- 6:29Speaker 2: a team that could keep up with any team, But
- 6:31Speaker 2: they're not gonna win the game, if that makes complete sense,
- 6:34Speaker 2: like a competitive I think their defense is good enough
- 6:36Speaker 2: to shut down like a Packers offense, like especially in
- 6:38Speaker 2: the run game. I think they're gonna give Josh Jacobs
- 6:40Speaker 2: a lot of trouble, so that's also a matchup to
- 6:43Speaker 2: monitor for him per se. But if we look at
- 6:47Speaker 2: the other guys such as like as Cedric Tillman or
- 6:51Speaker 2: a or Jerry cad like, how much are they going
- 6:55Speaker 2: to be involved? But the thing is, when you have
- 6:56Speaker 2: a guy like Joe Flacco, you're really gonna push the
- 6:59Speaker 2: ball down the field and be really competitive even when
- 7:01Speaker 2: you're not supposed to be. But as far as the
- 7:04Speaker 2: other side of the ball with the Green Bay Packers,
- 7:06Speaker 2: I mean, they're the clear winner in this one. I
- 7:09Speaker 2: just think it's gonna be a tough match, tougher matchup
- 7:11Speaker 2: than people expect it to be in this one, just
- 7:13Speaker 2: because the Browns really have nothing to lose, if we're
- 7:16Speaker 2: being completely honest, like they can go out there and
- 7:18Speaker 2: give you your best shot and if they lose, no
- 7:19Speaker 2: one expected them to win. So I think that that's
- 7:22Speaker 2: what they have on their side. But for the Packers, man,
- 7:26Speaker 2: they're on a roll right now. That defense is clicking
- 7:28Speaker 2: on all cylinder, the offense, the offense, it's looking good.
- 7:34Speaker 2: It's looking good, but I feel like it could be
- 7:36Speaker 2: so much better. And seeing Jenen Reed go down kind
- 7:39Speaker 2: of makes them lose a playmaker. But I believe this
- 7:41Speaker 2: is where Matthew Golden starts to kind of get established
- 7:44Speaker 2: as that that real big play guy that Jaden Reid was.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and piggybacking off of that last point, I just
- 7:50Speaker 1: want to see. Don't don't get me wrong, Jordan Love
- 7:53Speaker 1: has not had a bad game, but he has not
- 7:55Speaker 1: played up to his level of football that he's he's
- 8:00Speaker 1: in my opinion that that's what I say. And just
- 8:03Speaker 1: the two miss Matt Golden ones where he got wide
- 8:06Speaker 1: open and he barely missed them. I expect Matt Golden
- 8:09Speaker 1: to have a better game. I just think Jordan Love
- 8:12Speaker 1: like he's still playing a good quarterback level, but he
- 8:15Speaker 1: could play great quarterback level, and that's what makes makes
- 8:18Speaker 1: his team super Bowl worthy. And I know it's the
- 8:21Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, but still you need to see those signs
- 8:25Speaker 1: throughout the early in the season, and you're gonna start
- 8:28Speaker 1: seeing that in late November, late December and January football.
- 8:32Speaker 1: So that's more that what I'm really looking at looking at.
- 8:35Speaker 1: But yeah, Packers, they win this one. Start Josh Jacobs.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Shout out to Tucker Craft. We called that last week
- 8:40Speaker 1: being a top five tighten Fantasy Football wide receiver and it's.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Not starting the Packers wide receiver right now.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I think something Matt Golden if for me, would.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Be Romeo Dobbs if I was going to start one.
- 8:56Speaker 2: I think Romeo Dobbs is going to be the clear
- 8:58Speaker 2: every down receiver, especially when they get into the red zone.
- 9:01Speaker 2: He's gonna be the guy they look towards for the
- 9:03Speaker 2: most part, as it has been in the past. In
- 9:06Speaker 2: his career. Maybe I might be wrong with a new
- 9:08Speaker 2: guy like Matthew Golden here, but I still think that's
- 9:11Speaker 2: a guy that Jordan Love completely trusts. So I think
- 9:14Speaker 2: I will lean a little bit more towards the Romeo
- 9:15Speaker 2: Dobs side of things, at least for this first game,
- 9:17Speaker 2: until we see it. But as we said last week,
- 9:19Speaker 2: took her Craft's gonna be a top five tight end
- 9:21Speaker 2: in the NFL. But the way that he looked his
- 9:24Speaker 2: last game, he could be working working his way past
- 9:26Speaker 2: Samuel Porta, especially in value, because there's not he's the
- 9:30Speaker 2: main guy as compared to Sam Laporta. There's many guys
- 9:32Speaker 2: around him in that passing offense. Josh Jacobs, you can
- 9:36Speaker 2: you continue to start. It's been a little rough with
- 9:38Speaker 2: matchup purposes these last these first couple of games. It's
- 9:40Speaker 2: not it's going to continue in this one versus the
- 9:42Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. But he once he gets once they get
- 9:45Speaker 2: to the goal line, Josh Jacobs was getting that two
- 9:47Speaker 2: or three times in a row, and then plus he
- 9:50Speaker 2: could always break one off for a big one. So
- 9:52Speaker 2: I think Josh Jacobs is a must start as always
- 9:54Speaker 2: Jordan Love. If he as far as the other side.
- 9:57Speaker 2: We're gonna look at the Cleveland Browns. Quinnch I'm not
- 10:00Speaker 2: quite ready to start a quin Shawn Judkins or a
- 10:02Speaker 2: Dylan Sampson. I'm to wait and see. I think it's
- 10:05Speaker 2: gonna be like at least two more weeks till Quinn
- 10:06Speaker 2: Shawn Judkins really takes the lead role and Dylan Sampson
- 10:09Speaker 2: kind of takes on that role. That's is still important,
- 10:12Speaker 2: but not the same value as he is right now.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Harold Fannon for me, is a start. I think we've
- 10:18Speaker 2: seen the agreemia packers give up a couple of points,
- 10:20Speaker 2: especially to a guy like Zach Ertz they did last week.
- 10:24Speaker 2: If Harold Fannon continues to be on the tear like
- 10:26Speaker 2: he is right now, not the tear, but especially for
- 10:28Speaker 2: a Ricky tight end, what he's able to do right now,
- 10:29Speaker 2: If he continues that, he is a must start, and
- 10:33Speaker 2: then everyone like Jerry Judy flex consideration. Is Cedric Tillman
- 10:37Speaker 2: the same as well. Yeah, you never know what they
- 10:39Speaker 2: can do with Joe Flacco because they just don't care
- 10:41Speaker 2: at the end of the day. So that's a shaky
- 10:44Speaker 2: Those are some shaky options for me. But Harold Fannin
- 10:47Speaker 2: and Harrold Fan is pretty much the only must start
- 10:50Speaker 2: that I would have at the tight end position if
- 10:53Speaker 2: you don't have someone more important.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Dylan Samson later on in the roll
- 10:57Speaker 1: with or later on in the year whenever Quinn Shawn
- 10:59Speaker 1: gets that main back. I think he could be maybe
- 11:02Speaker 1: like a lesser version of Jack McKinnon at his peak
- 11:05Speaker 1: with the Chiefs, where he can be.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Like two years ago.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly pretty much. But all right, next game
- 11:12Speaker 1: right here, another twelve o'clock game two and ozero Colts
- 11:15Speaker 1: versus zero and two Titans, another divisional matchup. Colts are
- 11:18Speaker 1: favored by four and a half over unders forty three
- 11:20Speaker 1: and a half points, and this is in Tennessee. So
- 11:24Speaker 1: who are you taking?
- 11:26Speaker 2: For me? I have to go with the Indianapolis Colts.
- 11:28Speaker 2: I I it's an ugly game. I think it's one
- 11:30Speaker 2: of those games where I don't know, really want to
- 11:32Speaker 2: pick between the two because I don't believe in the two.
- 11:34Speaker 2: But I was we've seen from Daniel Jones if he
- 11:37Speaker 2: continues that pace and Leas's Colts team, and the Colts
- 11:40Speaker 2: defense is pretty good, like there never really been a
- 11:43Speaker 2: bad defense. And then Jonathan Taylor right now is the
- 11:46Speaker 2: main reason why I think I'm gonna pick the Indianapolis Colts.
- 11:48Speaker 2: I think any any offense, any defensive line in front
- 11:50Speaker 2: of him right now, especially the Stacy Titans Sparbakue Chicken
- 11:54Speaker 2: right now, I think he's about to do his thing
- 11:56Speaker 2: no matter what. As far as the Titans side, I
- 11:59Speaker 2: still don't like. I feel like they're still trying to
- 12:01Speaker 2: figure out who the guy is, Like, is it Calvin Ridley?
- 12:03Speaker 2: Are they going to force it to like a Yo
- 12:05Speaker 2: Maynor cam Ward is still trying to figure out things
- 12:08Speaker 2: in the NFL. The defense, I'm not too sure yet.
- 12:10Speaker 2: The secondary is always gonna be good, but is that
- 12:12Speaker 2: pass rush gonna get home? We don't know. So Yeah,
- 12:16Speaker 2: for me, I'm gonna stick with Indianapolis Colts because they
- 12:19Speaker 2: have less question marks on both sides of the football,
- 12:21Speaker 2: and they have weapons. They have, Yeah, they have Like
- 12:24Speaker 2: if you really look at a team that has wide
- 12:26Speaker 2: receivers from like one through four, the Indianaps Colts definitely
- 12:29Speaker 2: have to be one of the top teams when you're
- 12:31Speaker 2: looking at actually the wide most in general, yeah, the most,
- 12:34Speaker 2: and Tyler Warren right now, we're forgetting the most important
- 12:36Speaker 2: receiving options. Yeah.
- 12:38Speaker 1: So yeah, just Tyler Warren and Jonathan Taylor. Those are
- 12:41Speaker 1: the two superstars on their team, and Daniel Jones just
- 12:44Speaker 1: has to not mess up and let all the receivers
- 12:47Speaker 1: get the rack. That's that's all we have.
- 12:48Speaker 2: You can really rejuvenate his career right in Indianapolis this year.
- 12:53Speaker 2: If he were to lock in and really like do
- 12:56Speaker 2: something with this team, like like a Sam Darnald or
- 12:58Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, how they rejuvenated their careers, he could do
- 13:01Speaker 2: the same as well.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just think I just think that as
- 13:05Speaker 1: far as like with with this game, I'm I'm gonna
- 13:09Speaker 1: go ahead and predict it a little bit like you
- 13:10Speaker 1: were saying, They're not going to put up the crazy
- 13:12Speaker 1: twenty eight points that they normally did, even though the
- 13:14Speaker 1: Broncos have a better defense, just because this is a
- 13:17Speaker 1: division rival. Division rivals are always tougher games. Yeah, and
- 13:23Speaker 1: I'm still picking the Colts. But just one thing I
- 13:25Speaker 1: want to look at Eric Ayo Maner. I learned how
- 13:28Speaker 1: to say his name after you said it on last
- 13:30Speaker 1: week's pod. He had an almost twenty five percent target
- 13:33Speaker 1: share in the Titans offense, So that's just something to
- 13:37Speaker 1: look at right there. But yeah, no, give me the
- 13:39Speaker 1: Colts right here. But let's go to a game the
- 13:41Speaker 1: Battle of the Back. Oh oh, do we do starts?
- 13:45Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no JT for the Colts, for the Colts.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Do you start Daniel Jones right now? Daniel Jones? I
- 13:53Speaker 2: feel like you probably have to, like thirty point nearly
- 13:57Speaker 2: thirty point games in a row, like you're just not
- 13:59Speaker 2: gonna let that sit on your But I think there's
- 14:03Speaker 2: a week also because because he could still be Daniel
- 14:05Speaker 2: Jones at the end of the day and come back
- 14:07Speaker 2: down to Earth, which is expected. I fully expected to
- 14:11Speaker 2: come back down to Earth eventually, but right now he's
- 14:14Speaker 2: he's on the tear, and maybe you write the hot
- 14:16Speaker 2: hand and let him do his thing. As far as
- 14:19Speaker 2: his wide receiver positions, I saw Josh Down's usage go
- 14:23Speaker 2: up quite a bit in that Week two, especially, he
- 14:25Speaker 2: went past fifty percent as compared to Week one. As
- 14:28Speaker 2: for snaps, I'm not quite there to start him if
- 14:33Speaker 2: you have to, but he's still a great option because
- 14:36Speaker 2: he has Josh Downs. You can always go for something big.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I wish the ball would get into more into at
- 14:40Speaker 2: a night Mitchell's hands, because that boy is always open.
- 14:43Speaker 2: And then as far as Michael Pittman Jr. As well,
- 14:46Speaker 2: he's a solid He's a solid flex play. Like he's
- 14:50Speaker 2: not the same wide receiver too that you were getting
- 14:52Speaker 2: a year in, year out when you drafted him, But
- 14:54Speaker 2: right now he's definitely a flex play with a high floor.
- 14:57Speaker 2: So right now, Josh, I just don't know how to
- 15:00Speaker 2: answer for you at the wider's here position For the
- 15:01Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts Tennessee Titans, Tony Pollard for me, is the
- 15:04Speaker 2: only one that you can start because you use Chase volume.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Everyone else I'm not quite sold on yet. Calvin really
- 15:09Speaker 2: hasn't done nothing yet. Elick Ao Maynor, I mean, he
- 15:12Speaker 2: could be a flex consideration in the deeper leagues, But
- 15:15Speaker 2: for me, I feel like I will still wait that
- 15:16Speaker 2: one more week before I fully invest myself into an
- 15:19Speaker 2: elick Ao Maynor experience.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yeah, perfectly said right there, But like I was saying,
- 15:24Speaker 1: the battle the backups right here. So the Cincinnati Bengals
- 15:28Speaker 1: versus Minnesota Vikings, Jake Browning versus Carson Wentz start like
- 15:33Speaker 1: everybody expected. Minnesota is still favored by two and a
- 15:35Speaker 1: half over unders forty one and a half. If I'm
- 15:38Speaker 1: not mistaken the lowest over under of the week. So
- 15:43Speaker 1: who you taking in this one?
- 15:45Speaker 2: For me? I'm gonna go with the Minnesota Vikings. I
- 15:47Speaker 2: think the Minnesota Vikings defense is still completely good enough
- 15:50Speaker 2: to hold their own against the Cincinnati Bengals, barring that
- 15:53Speaker 2: they even have Jamar Chase Tee h Aggains Chase Brown
- 15:56Speaker 2: still there. But I do think that quarterback position means
- 15:59Speaker 2: a lot, and Jake Brown has been serviceable in the past,
- 16:03Speaker 2: but we've seen also players come back down to Earth
- 16:07Speaker 2: and he has the weapons around him, but does he
- 16:10Speaker 2: have the defense to stop even to Minnesota Vikings offense.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I understand Carson Wentz isn't the same guy as he
- 16:16Speaker 2: used to be, but still he is a servicell quarterback
- 16:18Speaker 2: in the NFL, especially with a head coach like Kevin O'Connell,
- 16:21Speaker 2: you have the best wide receiver in football arguably. I
- 16:24Speaker 2: mean both both of them are playing in this game.
- 16:25Speaker 2: The ones that you would argue, but the one that
- 16:28Speaker 2: usually is the argument is Justin Jefferson and he's available
- 16:32Speaker 2: in this game. Shae Hawkinson is available in this game.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Jordan Mason. Every time he's the lead back in the NFL,
- 16:37Speaker 2: he always does good, So you're gonna have a solid
- 16:39Speaker 2: bell cow in the backfield. And for me, that's why
- 16:42Speaker 2: I'm picking the Minnesota Vikings. I just trust them a
- 16:44Speaker 2: little bit more than I trust Cincinnati Bengals without their
- 16:47Speaker 2: starting quarterback.
- 16:48Speaker 1: See I before I go on who's picking the game,
- 16:53Speaker 1: I don't know if you're the one that said it
- 16:55Speaker 1: that Aaron Jones had like a seventy percent injury rate
- 16:58Speaker 1: before the season started.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Yeah, he had high risk injury.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't say it on the pod, but I
- 17:05Speaker 1: remember you saying that to me in person. So that
- 17:08Speaker 1: was a crazy snipe right there. But I think this
- 17:11Speaker 1: one right here, when it's just.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Like pure Christian McCaffrey, you did your two for two
- 17:15Speaker 2: right now with running backs you predict.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but but I'm just saying, but.
- 17:23Speaker 2: My writings on the Wall, brother Writings on the Wall.
- 17:27Speaker 1: The battle of the backups here, I think it favors
- 17:31Speaker 1: the guy who's been getting more burned and I feel
- 17:33Speaker 1: like has the better offensive weapons. Yes, I know the
- 17:36Speaker 1: Vikings defense is amazing, but I just think Jake Browning,
- 17:40Speaker 1: since he has been getting those snaps and has rhythm
- 17:43Speaker 1: with these wide receivers right here. I'm just gonna favor
- 17:46Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals just by a little bit. Am I
- 17:48Speaker 1: very confident in this pick. No, I think this is
- 17:50Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty and not many points are going
- 17:53Speaker 1: to be scored in this game. I think maybe at
- 17:56Speaker 1: most twenty seventeen or twenty one seventeen, something along those lines.
- 18:00Speaker 1: But yeah, no, give me the Cincinnati Bengals. And like
- 18:04Speaker 1: you were saying, I still think you start everybody, all
- 18:06Speaker 1: the notable guys still even though they have backup quarterbacks
- 18:10Speaker 1: in just because they're that talented. I don't know if
- 18:12Speaker 1: you agree.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't sit Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase. You
- 18:15Speaker 2: can't say t Higgins. You just can't do it, like
- 18:18Speaker 2: without hurting your team, like without like having a doubt
- 18:22Speaker 2: in your mind. Like So for me, that doubt's gonna
- 18:24Speaker 2: stay in the back and I'm gonna start it. I'm
- 18:27Speaker 2: gonna start those guys. So yeah, and Jordan Mason right
- 18:29Speaker 2: now is just a must start. He's a solid running
- 18:33Speaker 2: back two with running back one potential when he is
- 18:35Speaker 2: the loan back. We've seen it before in San Francisco.
- 18:39Speaker 2: I believe he can do it. Again, there's a reason
- 18:40Speaker 2: why Jackson in all leagues that I could have except
- 18:42Speaker 2: for Ryan, every league that I'm in with either me
- 18:46Speaker 2: or Ryan has him because we're both high on Jordan Mason.
- 18:49Speaker 2: So yeah, this is what we were waiting for if
- 18:51Speaker 2: you were a Jordan Mason owner and let right right
- 18:55Speaker 2: the possible league winner to the championship.
- 18:58Speaker 1: So yep, that's that's that's again, that's crazy, just two
- 19:03Speaker 1: back to back snipes that include both Jordan Mason. Actually,
- 19:06Speaker 1: now that I'm thinking about it, you know what you
- 19:11Speaker 1: talked about how you wanted to find a guy Jordan
- 19:14Speaker 1: Mason's He's the new Brian Robinson.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Mason. This is the Jordan Mason pod. This is the
- 19:21Speaker 2: Jordan Mason.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Pot, the Jordan Mason Pod. Perfect.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't even talk about in the last We
- 19:27Speaker 2: knew Tucker Craft was gonna go off, like we just
- 19:30Speaker 2: knew it that and we called it like any of
- 19:33Speaker 2: you didn't listen to us. That sucks for you.
- 19:36Speaker 1: That's on you. That's on you. But if you started,
- 19:40Speaker 1: Isaac Tesla, because in this person here because.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Said this week Jordan Mason, it's our stamp of approval.
- 19:49Speaker 1: He gets a so called stamp. All right, so called
- 19:52Speaker 1: stamp Steelers versus Patriots. Here, both teams are one and one,
- 19:57Speaker 1: one coming off a loss, one coming off a dub.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is favored by one and a half here, even
- 20:01Speaker 1: though it's in Foxborough over unders forty four and a half.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Who's winning this game?
- 20:07Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the New England Patriots, I think
- 20:09Speaker 2: quite easily. I don't think the Pittsburgh Stils are gonna
- 20:12Speaker 2: really put much of a fight. I think the New
- 20:14Speaker 2: England Patriots defense is still good enough, even though they
- 20:17Speaker 2: had a rough one versus the Miami Dolphins. I mean,
- 20:19Speaker 2: I don't see Davon Ahchen on the other side. I
- 20:21Speaker 2: don't see a couple of these big playmakers on the
- 20:24Speaker 2: other side that really give them fits. And it's not
- 20:26Speaker 2: like Javon Ahen was very efficient in the running game.
- 20:30Speaker 2: A lot of it came off with a couple of
- 20:31Speaker 2: big runs and then plus the receiving word that's where
- 20:33Speaker 2: he ate. So as far as the Steelers, I just
- 20:36Speaker 2: Jalen Warren's not on the same type of level. The
- 20:38Speaker 2: New England Patriots is still trying to figure it out
- 20:40Speaker 2: on defense, and I think they can. But for me,
- 20:42Speaker 2: the Steelers defense is not the same as they used
- 20:43Speaker 2: to be. I just feel like they don't have that
- 20:45Speaker 2: same aura. They're not completing the plays like they used
- 20:49Speaker 2: to and competing really hard out there, which is really
- 20:51Speaker 2: surprising for around Mike Tomman team. But also age catches
- 20:54Speaker 2: up to you and there's a lot of older players
- 20:55Speaker 2: on this defense. And for me, I just think Drake
- 20:58Speaker 2: May is kind of cooking right now. He's doing. I mean,
- 21:01Speaker 2: I know he had a rough Week one, but he
- 21:03Speaker 2: still made a couple of good plays that showed a
- 21:04Speaker 2: lot of bright spots, especially in this last game versus Miami.
- 21:07Speaker 2: So I'm gonna continue to right the right, the fire
- 21:11Speaker 2: the fireman's arm all the way to victory. And That's
- 21:14Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I forgot about that Drake made the firemanso. That's another thing. No,
- 21:20Speaker 1: But I guess give me the road team. I'm taking
- 21:22Speaker 1: the road dogs here. Give me the Pittsburgh Steelers. And
- 21:25Speaker 1: I think, just going off your last point as far
- 21:28Speaker 1: as the Steelers defense isn't the same, I just think
- 21:31Speaker 1: finally there's no way that it's gonna be a three
- 21:33Speaker 1: game skid. In my opinion, I would be shocked if
- 21:37Speaker 1: the Steelers they don't bounce back their defense, the defense
- 21:40Speaker 1: doesn't bounce back after three games, and the Patriots offense,
- 21:44Speaker 1: it's not like it's this amazing offense, nor has the
- 21:47Speaker 1: teams that they played previously with the Jets and last week,
- 21:51Speaker 1: why am I going blank the Seattle Seahawks. But I
- 21:54Speaker 1: just think that the Steelers they bounce back in this game.
- 21:56Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers, he just does enough to get stuff done.
- 22:00Speaker 1: With Christian Gonzalez maybe not playing in this game. So yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 1: give me the Steelers.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Yeah, so must starts? Are you starting with Mandra Stevenson
- 22:10Speaker 2: this week?
- 22:13Speaker 1: No? I have a feeling like it's gonna be of.
- 22:16Speaker 2: What about flex like not even gonna flex him.
- 22:19Speaker 1: I would flex him. I would flex him, but he's
- 22:22Speaker 1: if possible if.
- 22:23Speaker 2: I don't have scared I'm scared to do it.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I'm scared too, But you know what, I'm still starting
- 22:28Speaker 1: Trayvon Henderson every single week. No I take I am.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Too scared to take him out of my lineup, Like
- 22:36Speaker 2: I don't know, while I agree, and it could be
- 22:39Speaker 2: another week where I leave him in there or Mandra
- 22:40Speaker 2: Stevens is gonna gets twenty one points, so but don't
- 22:43Speaker 2: matter me, I don't it don't matter. I'm I'm gonna
- 22:45Speaker 2: hold him in there because he can break a big
- 22:47Speaker 2: one off. And honestly, the first game really was a tough,
- 22:52Speaker 2: tough way to start off your career, still trying to
- 22:55Speaker 2: learn the speed of the game. This last week, three
- 22:57Speaker 2: holding calls any any any head coach is gonna sit
- 23:01Speaker 2: you out after the type of performances. I mean, obviously,
- 23:04Speaker 2: I saw Ashton gent T in this last game struggle,
- 23:07Speaker 2: really struggle and lose a couple and run a couple
- 23:10Speaker 2: of wrong plays like he did. Wasn't really aware of
- 23:13Speaker 2: what he was supposed to do, got caught up and
- 23:16Speaker 2: he got taken out for Zamir White a couple of plays,
- 23:17Speaker 2: So it's a pretty normal thing. Almarion Hampton as well
- 23:20Speaker 2: got taken out for Najee Harris towards the end of
- 23:22Speaker 2: the game after he fumbled, So they just it just
- 23:25Speaker 2: all comes down to game script and Vermander Stevenson had
- 23:27Speaker 2: the hot hand as far as Traviiel Henderson. I'm gonna
- 23:30Speaker 2: keep holding on to Ca't no more.
- 23:33Speaker 1: No, I agree, I think just rookies in general at
- 23:36Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, it's rare. If they started, Yeah,
- 23:40Speaker 1: you just have to trust them and you just keep
- 23:43Speaker 1: starting them. It may kill you in the short term,
- 23:45Speaker 1: but the long term it's gonna be great. So but
- 23:48Speaker 1: as far as with any other Steelers, I don't feel
- 23:51Speaker 1: confidence starting anybody. I guess if you drafted DK, you
- 23:53Speaker 1: have to you have to put them in your lineup.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But again that that's not you for drafting DK Metcalf.
- 23:59Speaker 1: But let's move on to this next game right here.
- 24:02Speaker 1: This one should be pretty interesting right here, La Rams
- 24:06Speaker 1: versus the Philadelphia Eagles, both of them two and two
- 24:09Speaker 1: and zero. This is in Philly. Philly is favored by
- 24:11Speaker 1: three and a half over Unders forty four and a half.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Who are you taking?
- 24:16Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Rams in this one. I
- 24:18Speaker 2: think as far as the Rams and Eagles, I think
- 24:22Speaker 2: the Eagles have struggled the first two weeks of this season,
- 24:25Speaker 2: again especially against the Cowboys, who in hindsight have a
- 24:28Speaker 2: higher powered offense, and they were really clicking on all
- 24:31Speaker 2: cylinders in that first one, even without Jaylen Carter. And
- 24:34Speaker 2: if we look at the kNs City Chiefs, I understand
- 24:36Speaker 2: the Chiefs lost and I may sound like a Chiefs
- 24:38Speaker 2: fan while saying this, but in reality, I think the
- 24:41Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles really should have lost that football game. I
- 24:44Speaker 2: don't think anything that they did really hinted the Chiefs
- 24:46Speaker 2: from anything. It was all the everything the Chiefs did
- 24:49Speaker 2: that hindered the Eagles defense. And right now, I feel
- 24:51Speaker 2: like they're a little They're a little bit vulnerable right now,
- 24:53Speaker 2: and this is not the offense that you want to
- 24:55Speaker 2: be vulnerable against. I think Matthew Stafford's going to pick
- 24:59Speaker 2: you apart now. They have DeVante Adams a clear number
- 25:02Speaker 2: two and and Pooka Nakua, and I feel like, no
- 25:06Speaker 2: matter who you put, if you double team Puka, DeVante
- 25:08Speaker 2: Adams is gonna have his day. If you double DeVante Adams,
- 25:11Speaker 2: no one's stopping Pooka Nakua. So for me, I'm gonna
- 25:15Speaker 2: go with the Los Angeles Rams in this one. And
- 25:17Speaker 2: if we're looking at the Eagles offense too, I don't
- 25:19Speaker 2: think they've been very impressive either. Like I don't think
- 25:22Speaker 2: they've been lighting up the scoreboard as well. We really
- 25:25Speaker 2: haven't seen their top guys get involved. But if there
- 25:27Speaker 2: is a week for them to get involved, it would
- 25:28Speaker 2: be this week. Because I feel like Gamescript's gonna manufacture
- 25:31Speaker 2: a lot of passing plays to the Philadelphia Eagles. And
- 25:34Speaker 2: that's the thing. Are you gonna want the Philadelphia Eagles
- 25:36Speaker 2: themselves to get in a shooting match with the Los
- 25:38Speaker 2: Angeles Rams? And I don't think that they do so.
- 25:43Speaker 1: I I was barely trying to decide even right now
- 25:46Speaker 1: when you're trying to finish or up what you're saying.
- 25:49Speaker 1: But I think this one is gonna be a damn
- 25:52Speaker 1: good football game. On the Rams defense, I feel like
- 25:54Speaker 1: they're a little bit underrated at this point with how
- 25:57Speaker 1: well they have how well they have been playing. But
- 26:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna just have to take the Philadelphia Eagles here.
- 26:05Speaker 1: But I think it's gonna be a really close game.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I don't think it's nothing like Damien saying they win
- 26:09Speaker 1: by ten plus points, but I agree. I think after
- 26:13Speaker 1: the last two times Saquon Barkley has played the Rams,
- 26:16Speaker 1: he went for two hundred yards in each game. I
- 26:20Speaker 1: think this is finally third times a charm. Finally they're
- 26:23Speaker 1: gonna so solely key in on Saquon Barkley and they're
- 26:27Speaker 1: gonna make Jalen Hurds beat them. And I think this
- 26:30Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts this word his game. He finally does
- 26:32Speaker 1: well in the box score. AJ Brown, Davonta Smith, they
- 26:35Speaker 1: finally get involved. Not just because I traded for them
- 26:38Speaker 1: in fantasy for fantasy football, but he gets involved. And
- 26:42Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be a really good game,
- 26:44Speaker 1: a twelve o'clock game that's really good. But as far
- 26:47Speaker 1: as must starts, you start every single guy in this game,
- 26:51Speaker 1: all your superstars in fantasy football.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Kiren Puka, Davonte, Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, you got to
- 26:59Speaker 2: continue to do it. Davon Smith, you got to continue
- 27:01Speaker 2: to do it. Saquon Barkley. You never not do it.
- 27:04Speaker 2: You never don't do it. So yeah, everyone's pretty much
- 27:07Speaker 2: the most start that you can start.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 27:11Speaker 2: All right, that doesn't even go out and start Johan Daddson. Guys,
- 27:13Speaker 2: but you know who I'm talking.
- 27:15Speaker 1: About, John Mitchick. Go start John Mitchie now. But all right,
- 27:19Speaker 1: other twelve o'clock game right here in New York Jets
- 27:22Speaker 1: versus the Bake Show, the Heisman himself, oh win two
- 27:25Speaker 1: versus two and zero. Tampa's favored by six and a
- 27:28Speaker 1: half forty three and a half over under, and justin
- 27:30Speaker 1: Fields is most likely not going to play in this game.
- 27:33Speaker 1: I don't know if it's official, but it's pretty much official.
- 27:36Speaker 1: So who's winning.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, I'm gonna go with the Tampa Bay
- 27:40Speaker 2: Buccaneers in this one. I think we're never going against
- 27:44Speaker 2: the Bake Show in this podcast unless it's unless it's
- 27:48Speaker 2: Cowboys really Undeniable and the Cowboys and the Chiefs. So yeah,
- 27:53Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers I think are gonna win this one.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield just seems to show up when the matter,
- 27:58Speaker 2: when the moments matter the most. He does that game
- 28:01Speaker 2: in and game out. Their defense is a little bit vulnerable.
- 28:03Speaker 2: I feel like they've struggled, but they also haven't at
- 28:06Speaker 2: the same time, which is a little weird to say,
- 28:08Speaker 2: Like they're not letting up major points, but they also
- 28:11Speaker 2: are not stopping teams from getting the yards they want,
- 28:14Speaker 2: So that's a little bit scary for me. But but
- 28:17Speaker 2: the run stuffing crew is really going to be there,
- 28:20Speaker 2: especially with Vitaveo. He's always going to be available and
- 28:22Speaker 2: that thing, that's what the Jets are gonna lean on,
- 28:24Speaker 2: especially with Tyrod Taylor starting. So that's that's so therefore
- 28:27Speaker 2: I'm going to lean toward to Tap Bay Buccaneers, especially
- 28:29Speaker 2: because that defensive point that they make at stopping to run.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I'm taking the Buccaneers. I think this
- 28:36Speaker 1: one might be the game that's it's a blowout because
- 28:39Speaker 1: what made the Jets offense so dynamic in Week one
- 28:42Speaker 1: was justin fields being able to run, and Tyrod Taylor
- 28:45Speaker 1: just doesn't have that same ability. So it's going to
- 28:49Speaker 1: hinder the offense by a lot. And yeah, I think
- 28:52Speaker 1: Bucks they win this one easily. As far as fantasy
- 28:55Speaker 1: football starts with the Jets side, you have to start
- 28:58Speaker 1: Brisaw Garrett Wilson. You have to start him, whether you
- 29:01Speaker 1: like it or not, unless you have better options and buccaneerseers.
- 29:07Speaker 1: You start Mike Evins.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Mecca Buka and Buckie Irving, and you start Baker. So yep,
- 29:14Speaker 2: Mike Evans is gonna start getting his trust.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Me.
- 29:16Speaker 2: I know, people are like kind of on the mecha
- 29:18Speaker 2: Buka train, which I am as well, but still had
- 29:23Speaker 2: eleven targets in this last game, five for eleven. He's
- 29:27Speaker 2: really a high point of this offense and he's still
- 29:29Speaker 2: the number one receiver there and they really made that
- 29:31Speaker 2: known in this first game. So therefore, I think I
- 29:35Speaker 2: think Mike Evans is gonna have a big one in
- 29:37Speaker 2: this one.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Shout out to Damon for a great stat letting y'all
- 29:40Speaker 1: know that over the last twelve games that a team
- 29:43Speaker 1: was favored by four plus points there at twelve and no,
- 29:46Speaker 1: I don't.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Know how true that TikTok.
- 29:48Speaker 1: You know he's true, but hey, hey, I'm gonna give
- 29:52Speaker 1: the credit to Damon. There credit where credit is due.
- 29:55Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, one of the last twelve o'clock games.
- 29:58Speaker 1: There's three more left right Versus Commanders. Jayden Daniels questionable
- 30:02Speaker 1: because knee injury, most likely gonna play Washington three and
- 30:05Speaker 1: a half point favorite over Unders forty four and a
- 30:08Speaker 1: half points. Who are you taking my bad? I forgot
- 30:13Speaker 1: to say that last part.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Raiders are commanders. I think for me, I'm gonna stick
- 30:18Speaker 2: with the Washington Commanders. I just think the Raiders right now,
- 30:21Speaker 2: like their offense doesn't look very good, Like the running
- 30:25Speaker 2: game is non existent. The offensive line can't run block
- 30:29Speaker 2: to save their lives. Gino Smith is running for his
- 30:31Speaker 2: life a majority of the time. You even saw that
- 30:35Speaker 2: Khalil Mackles wreaking havoc on that offensive line, but he's
- 30:40Speaker 2: gone now and they were still able to get through
- 30:42Speaker 2: to Gino Smith and then the wide receivers Jacoby Myers.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I think it's still serviceable. But Deonce Thornton and a
- 30:50Speaker 2: couple of the others, they're just really haven't gotten involved
- 30:53Speaker 2: like we expected them to. Rock Bauers still rehabbing a
- 30:56Speaker 2: knee injury but playing through it at the same time.
- 31:00Speaker 2: On the other side, the Washington Commanders, they lost a
- 31:02Speaker 2: big one. I'm not sure if Jaden Daniels. Wait, Daniels,
- 31:07Speaker 2: it's a big play.
- 31:09Speaker 1: He isn't I thought it was a questionable or is he?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Let me let me let me check Jaden Daniels.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Who's the back commanders.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Mariota so Jade and Daniels won't practice earlier than Friday.
- 31:24Speaker 1: It's a day to day dude, to be they.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Go to Washington Commanders either way in this one. If
- 31:29Speaker 2: I'm going to pick a team, yeah, So, I think
- 31:33Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders are going to continue to kind of
- 31:36Speaker 2: figure out their identity on offense. But I still do
- 31:38Speaker 2: think that they're way better than the Washington Commanders. Just
- 31:41Speaker 2: like Damien said, start Deebo Samuel, but also zach Ertz
- 31:46Speaker 2: is on a tear right now. Scary Terry's bound to
- 31:48Speaker 2: go off, and I believe I trust those guys a
- 31:51Speaker 2: lot more.
- 31:52Speaker 1: So I'm looking at it. So Jaden Daniels, he got
- 31:55Speaker 1: injured in the third quarter, but still finish the game.
- 31:58Speaker 1: He got an MRI. There was no damage, no major damage,
- 32:02Speaker 1: so he should be fine. Even at that. Marrioda is
- 32:05Speaker 1: more than serviceable to win a game or two. But yeah,
- 32:08Speaker 1: I know. Give me the Raiders. They have extra rests
- 32:10Speaker 1: off of Thursday night football, so I think they're gonna
- 32:13Speaker 1: want to redeem themselves after an embarrassing loss. But like
- 32:18Speaker 1: you're saying, you start brought, you start asking gent. You
- 32:22Speaker 1: have to start Jakobe Myers, because there's a solid floor
- 32:24Speaker 1: right there. Commanders, you start Jayden Daniels, Terry mczach Ertz.
- 32:29Speaker 2: You have to start zach Ertz after what he's done
- 32:33Speaker 2: the last two weeks, and he did. He had a
- 32:34Speaker 2: great year last year with Jan Daniels, which I think
- 32:36Speaker 2: went overlooked a lot going into this fantasy season. I
- 32:39Speaker 2: think it's just a matter of age and adding Deepo Samuel,
- 32:42Speaker 2: But he's still the guy that Jay and Daniels is
- 32:44Speaker 2: looking for on those third down situations. Every single time
- 32:48Speaker 2: in a situation where he needs a first down, the
- 32:50Speaker 2: first guy he looks towards is zach Ertz, and especially
- 32:53Speaker 2: in the red zone area as well. So zach Ertz
- 32:55Speaker 2: is gonna play a big role every week in this
- 32:57Speaker 2: offense barring injury. So for me, zach Ertz is a
- 33:00Speaker 2: must start.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Yeah, and one more thing I want to talk about.
- 33:04Speaker 1: First off, devastating that Austin Actley he got he tore
- 33:09Speaker 1: his achilles so late into his career. But it is
- 33:11Speaker 1: Jacory Krossky Mayor or Bill Krossky, Marra, whatever you want
- 33:15Speaker 1: to say his name is. It's officially his time as
- 33:17Speaker 1: a running back one. So how do you think he's
- 33:19Speaker 1: gonna do in his first start.
- 33:23Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a lot of a lot
- 33:25Speaker 2: of first and second down work, and I believe it's
- 33:30Speaker 2: gonna be non existent passing downs in two minute drills
- 33:32Speaker 2: for him. I think they're gonna ease him into those things,
- 33:35Speaker 2: especially as a rookie seventh rounder. Jemmy McNichols played a
- 33:38Speaker 2: big role towards end of this last one. And if
- 33:40Speaker 2: the commanders are maybe, I don't think they will be,
- 33:43Speaker 2: but that they're playing, gonna shootout. Jimmy Nick McNichols is
- 33:47Speaker 2: gonna see all the light of day while Corey Krossky
- 33:50Speaker 2: Merrit is sitting there on the bench. So I think
- 33:52Speaker 2: for me, he's gonna have a solid day, maybe around
- 33:54Speaker 2: eleven touches or But I think a lot of the
- 33:57Speaker 2: other running backs are gonna be heavily involved, especially for
- 34:00Speaker 2: the first week of with being without Austin Eckler.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think it's gonna not be till
- 34:05Speaker 1: another three four weeks till he's really involved in it.
- 34:07Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I don't know if I said it,
- 34:09Speaker 1: but I'm taking the Commanders as well. All right, Atlanta
- 34:12Speaker 1: Falcons versus Carolina Panthers. Right here, Atlanta's favored by five
- 34:15Speaker 1: and a half over unders forty three and a half points.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Will you take it.
- 34:21Speaker 2: For me? I'm gonna go with the Atlanta Falcons. I
- 34:23Speaker 2: just don't trust the Carolina Panthers yet for anything. To
- 34:26Speaker 2: be honest, I think the only person that I've really
- 34:28Speaker 2: seen some bright spots from is Ted McMillan. He's had
- 34:31Speaker 2: a couple of big plays, really looking to get involved,
- 34:34Speaker 2: especially by Barce Young. But everyone else, I'm just not
- 34:37Speaker 2: quite sold on Chuba Hubbard. I mean you have to
- 34:39Speaker 2: continue to start him because of where he drafted, but
- 34:41Speaker 2: also he's having a lot of receiving work even with
- 34:43Speaker 2: the inefficiency while running. But for the Atlanta Falcons standpoint,
- 34:47Speaker 2: that defense looked amazing last week, especially versus the Minnesota Vikings,
- 34:51Speaker 2: and I believe that they're gonna do a lot of
- 34:52Speaker 2: the same with that. Bryce Young and on the offensive side,
- 34:57Speaker 2: Kyle pitch is it all the way back, but he's
- 34:58Speaker 2: a little back. He's been doing alright these he's been weeks, yep.
- 35:03Speaker 2: But Bijon Robinson right now looks like the best player
- 35:05Speaker 2: on the field any given moment that he is on
- 35:07Speaker 2: the field. And Michael Pinnick. He's been targeting a lot
- 35:11Speaker 2: of his guys, especially Drake LinkedIn and I spec big
- 35:13Speaker 2: days from all of them.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think Jon's gonna have a nice day. Well,
- 35:18Speaker 1: just in general, Bijon more likely Kyle Pitts he's kind
- 35:21Speaker 1: of back Drake London. He gets the targets, but he
- 35:25Speaker 1: hasn't had that actual big game. I'm hoping to see
- 35:28Speaker 1: it this week. But the Panthers, they score points because
- 35:31Speaker 1: they are down majority of the time, So you'll be
- 35:34Speaker 1: fine starting your guys for the Panthers, all right. Texans
- 35:38Speaker 1: versus Jaguars the last twelve o'clock game, Jacksonville is served
- 35:42Speaker 1: by one and a half over unders forty four and
- 35:44Speaker 1: a half points.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Right here?
- 35:45Speaker 1: Who a you taking?
- 35:51Speaker 2: As much as I want to say Jaguars, I don't
- 35:52Speaker 2: completely trust him yet. I think, especially at that in
- 35:55Speaker 2: the passing game situations, there seems a lot of miscommunication.
- 35:58Speaker 2: They're not sure where to get the ball to Brian
- 36:00Speaker 2: Thomas Junior. As far as Travis Hunter is he gonna
- 36:05Speaker 2: get the Nico matches, he not. So I think it
- 36:08Speaker 2: all is predicated on game script at the If they
- 36:12Speaker 2: continue to go down the Jaguars, I think they're gonna
- 36:14Speaker 2: move them over to kind of balance it out. But
- 36:17Speaker 2: I don't think that matters in this one per se.
- 36:20Speaker 2: So'm I'm still gonna stick with the Houston Texans in
- 36:24Speaker 2: this one.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking the Houston Texans in this one. I
- 36:27Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna start off own three. Their defense
- 36:30Speaker 1: is just way too talented talented. It's a division rival game,
- 36:33Speaker 1: so they know the Jaguars very easily, and there's been.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Would like to see Jennen Higgins more involved though, so
- 36:40Speaker 2: I think I do think they need that number two
- 36:41Speaker 2: option outside of Nico Collins, and with Christian Kirk being
- 36:45Speaker 2: out and then having a lot of younger guys there,
- 36:48Speaker 2: I believe that you got to start getting your stick
- 36:51Speaker 2: around and more involved.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree for sure, And I think
- 36:54Speaker 1: this is the prime time to do it because the
- 36:57Speaker 1: Jaguars defense it's not too good and I expect, I
- 37:02Speaker 1: hopefully expect Brian Thomas to have a better game because
- 37:06Speaker 1: you see all the targets and catches. I think nineteen
- 37:08Speaker 1: total targets, five catches, so I think he's gonna finally
- 37:12Speaker 1: have a bounce back game. Even though if they don't win,
- 37:14Speaker 1: Travis etn is gonna have a good one. So I
- 37:17Speaker 1: think those are the only guys you really start for
- 37:20Speaker 1: the Jaguars in my opinion. Texans. You start Nico, you
- 37:23Speaker 1: have to start Nick Chubb after what he did last
- 37:25Speaker 1: week versus the Big Big Show, And yeah, I think
- 37:29Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. But anything else, all right, Let's
- 37:34Speaker 1: get to the three o'clock games. There's four of them
- 37:36Speaker 1: right here. Start with another division rival, Broncos versus Chargers
- 37:39Speaker 1: one and one versus two and zero. Chargers are favored
- 37:41Speaker 1: by two and a half over Unders forty five and
- 37:43Speaker 1: a half. Who you taking.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna pick up the Chargers, especially for seeding purposes,
- 37:49Speaker 2: because I really want them to lose. I think they
- 37:51Speaker 2: deaver Broncos to win. Yeah. I think that it's gonna
- 37:55Speaker 2: be a great divisional matchup. I think both teams are
- 37:58Speaker 2: prime and ready to really make splashes against each other,
- 38:00Speaker 2: especially defensively versus offensively. But if I'm really being completely
- 38:05Speaker 2: honest with myself, I'm gonna go with the Los Angeles
- 38:07Speaker 2: Chargers to win this football game. I just do think
- 38:09Speaker 2: that they're the better team, especially offensively. They have their
- 38:12Speaker 2: identity already. They've already established that John Harball, It's been
- 38:17Speaker 2: repeated multiple times at his job is to get just
- 38:19Speaker 2: In Herberts of the Hall of Fame, and I do
- 38:20Speaker 2: believe it starts with a strong passing game and he
- 38:22Speaker 2: has the weapons around him to do that. I don't
- 38:25Speaker 2: know who Patricks Retain is going to really match up
- 38:27Speaker 2: with against, and I don't think it's gonna matter really
- 38:29Speaker 2: too much because Kenyan Allen's beginning open. No matter what
- 38:31Speaker 2: Quinn Johnson's been finding his way to have big targets
- 38:34Speaker 2: and it just doesn't stop. There a lot of the
- 38:37Speaker 2: guys in the backfield like Marion Hampton and Naji Harris.
- 38:42Speaker 2: I do think people need to be patient with Marion Hampton,
- 38:44Speaker 2: but he could break one off at any moment. And
- 38:45Speaker 2: as far as Najie Harris, he's gonna have a heavy role.
- 38:48Speaker 2: So when they can hit you on all Saunders offensively
- 38:50Speaker 2: versus your defense, who has struggled in these first two games.
- 38:54Speaker 2: When we expected the Broncos to be this top tier defense,
- 38:57Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Chargers are not a team to be
- 38:59Speaker 2: coming into it trying to figure it out.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree one hundred percent right here. And I
- 39:04Speaker 1: just think the key point that I think that you
- 39:06Speaker 1: gave away right there is Pat certain He usually follows
- 39:09Speaker 1: and it's kind of become a three head monster and
- 39:13Speaker 1: every one of these guys are eating Ladd McConkie, Keenan Allen,
- 39:16Speaker 1: Quinn Johnston, and I think Lad McConkie he's gonna end
- 39:19Speaker 1: up getting a touchdown in this one. There's no way
- 39:21Speaker 1: you tell me. Three weeks into the season, Keenan Allen
- 39:24Speaker 1: and Quinn Johnson both have I think three or four
- 39:27Speaker 1: touchdowns each at this point. So I think that the
- 39:30Speaker 1: Chargers are going to win this game just because bo
- 39:33Speaker 1: Nixy has looked very shaky against subpar competition. So I'm
- 39:37Speaker 1: just gonna have to take the better quarterback and the
- 39:40Speaker 1: better coach in my opinion than Jim Harball. So yeah,
- 39:43Speaker 1: all right, As far I think, no, we didn't talk starts.
- 39:47Speaker 1: You started Marion Hampton, you start Lad McConkie, Keenan Allen.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Do you start Quinn Johnston two big games back to back.
- 39:54Speaker 2: I don't think you do. I think you're just chasing
- 39:56Speaker 2: touchdowns at that point. As far as on the other
- 39:57Speaker 2: side of the got that mcconkeye and Keenan Allen getting
- 40:01Speaker 2: heavily used, even outside of the outside of the places
- 40:04Speaker 2: that it matters, They're really just moving to change type
- 40:07Speaker 2: of guys and they're going to continue to get looks.
- 40:10Speaker 2: As far as others starts, Keen Allen is yes.
- 40:18Speaker 1: The Broncos. Broncos, you have to start Courtland Sutton. I
- 40:27Speaker 1: think I think that's pretty much the only one that
- 40:29Speaker 1: you start right there in my opinion.
- 40:31Speaker 2: All right, let's be Franklin, are you on the Tory
- 40:33Speaker 2: Franklin train.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Yet I have to see it another I have to
- 40:36Speaker 1: see it another week. I have to see it another week.
- 40:39Speaker 1: I'm not for sure starting him, I'll say that I
- 40:43Speaker 1: have to see another week. I'll rather be late to
- 40:45Speaker 1: the party than early. That that's just my thinking on that,
- 40:49Speaker 1: because he was a waiver wire pick up.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Yeah, rather be late to the party as well. I'm
- 40:54Speaker 2: not sure quite ready yet to make that move.
- 40:57Speaker 1: All right, let's get to this one right here. The
- 40:59Speaker 1: last real five games Saints versus Seahawks. Seahawks favored by
- 41:03Speaker 1: seven and a half over under forty one and a half.
- 41:05Speaker 1: We know who's winning this game right here.
- 41:07Speaker 2: But as far as je Seahawks.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Yeah, any big games coming from anybody.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Start Kamara for the Saints. Juwan Johnson start, Yeah, Yeah,
- 41:18Speaker 2: I start Jawan Johnson. I agree, he's the heavily targeted guy.
- 41:22Speaker 2: I think, no matter what the other side, JSN to
- 41:26Speaker 2: the moon like yeah, Cooper Cup after the last week,
- 41:31Speaker 2: I'm a little nervous, but that target share was insane.
- 41:36Speaker 2: We kind of have to consider him for your flex olave. Yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 2: I start a lave. He does the job, but I
- 41:42Speaker 2: don't have a.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Lave, so I don't have a Lave in any league
- 41:45Speaker 1: really so.
- 41:46Speaker 2: But you have to start him. Olave is a great
- 41:48Speaker 2: option at flex, especially if it for a flex. Olave
- 41:51Speaker 2: is a go to guy in the backfield. No, I'm not.
- 41:57Speaker 2: I'm staying away from Zach Scharberney and both can. It's
- 42:00Speaker 2: I don't care how good one looked on a thirty
- 42:02Speaker 2: yard run and one looked really bad on fifteen carries.
- 42:05Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm just not gonna trust it.
- 42:07Speaker 1: They're gonna just take their turns. And like you're saying
- 42:10Speaker 1: on the last point, Spencer Rattler, he's doing just enough
- 42:13Speaker 1: to keep these guys fantasy football relevant, but not in
- 42:16Speaker 1: order to win games. Here. But all right, the two
- 42:18Speaker 1: three twenty five games right here, This one is interesting
- 42:22Speaker 1: right here because I don't know the status of some
- 42:24Speaker 1: of these guys. Cardinals versus Niners both to and O.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Sam France favored by two and a half over Runners
- 42:29Speaker 1: forty five and a half. So I'm assuming it's not
- 42:32Speaker 1: official that Brock Party may play in this game. But
- 42:34Speaker 1: let me look it up real quick. But who do
- 42:38Speaker 1: you think is winning? I'll tell you about brock Purty
- 42:39Speaker 1: status in a minute.
- 42:41Speaker 2: I still think for me, it's gonna be San Francisco
- 42:43Speaker 2: forty nine ers. I understand the Cardinals have a much
- 42:46Speaker 2: improved defense, and then on the offensive side of the ball,
- 42:49Speaker 2: I just feel like they're not doing enough. They're not
- 42:50Speaker 2: pushing the ball down the phield. James Connors still still
- 42:53Speaker 2: getting the job done, but also at the same type
- 42:55Speaker 2: of explosed explosiveness that he usually has. Start cecifics go
- 42:59Speaker 2: for now. I still just believe in Ricky Piersall, Christian McCaffrey,
- 43:05Speaker 2: barring injury, of course, and then bro we look at
- 43:09Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings as well. He had a really big, big
- 43:12Speaker 2: game in this last one, first game back. And this
- 43:15Speaker 2: is what Mac Jones. So it just no matter what
- 43:16Speaker 2: they can do with Rock Purdy, I'm gonna go to
- 43:18Speaker 2: this San Francisco forty nine ers.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking the Niners here because Mac Jones he's
- 43:23Speaker 1: just a vet and he knows just enough to get
- 43:25Speaker 1: stuff done. But Christian McCaffrey, he's running back one right now.
- 43:29Speaker 1: You talk about volume, its insane volume that he is
- 43:33Speaker 1: going to be getting. And yeah, I just have to
- 43:35Speaker 1: take the Niners. But this three twenty five game, this one,
- 43:38Speaker 1: there should be a bunch of points because this is
- 43:40Speaker 1: the second highest, No, it is the tie for the
- 43:43Speaker 1: highest over under the Dallas Cowboys versus the Chicago Bears
- 43:47Speaker 1: one to one versus zero to two. Even though this
- 43:49Speaker 1: in Chicago, Dallas is fired by one and a half
- 43:52Speaker 1: fifteen and a half over under. So who you taking
- 43:55Speaker 1: in this one?
- 43:56Speaker 2: For me? I think this is gonna be another week
- 43:59Speaker 2: like it was last week for the Dallas Cowboys. I
- 44:01Speaker 2: think it's gonna be one of those games or it
- 44:03Speaker 2: turns into a where it turns into a shootout. Yeah,
- 44:06Speaker 2: I just I don't. It's almost to where I'm afraid
- 44:10Speaker 2: to pick a team in this one, if I'm being
- 44:12Speaker 2: completely honest with you, because I think the Chicago Bears
- 44:15Speaker 2: have the pieces to be able to keep up with
- 44:17Speaker 2: the Cowboys. But for me, I'm musa stick with the
- 44:20Speaker 2: better quarterback at this moment, and I'm gonna go with
- 44:23Speaker 2: Dak Prescott to get the job done versus Caleb Williams.
- 44:26Speaker 2: And that's where my favor is going towards and especially
- 44:29Speaker 2: this the offensive lines. The Bears much improved, yes, but
- 44:34Speaker 2: still have a little bit of struggles, especially with holding penalties.
- 44:36Speaker 2: I expect the Cowboys to capitalize on those when given
- 44:39Speaker 2: the opportunities. And Javonta Williams versus Deandres about the same players,
- 44:43Speaker 2: So I'm not really gonna like harp too much on that.
- 44:46Speaker 2: And I believe Deondre stipt will have a big game
- 44:47Speaker 2: in this one to Cowboys, I just I don't care
- 44:51Speaker 2: how much your dad says they're good at run defense
- 44:53Speaker 2: or and all this, They're really just not that good
- 44:55Speaker 2: at football at all. Camp Scattobo looked like the best
- 44:59Speaker 2: rookie running backup his class in this first game versus them,
- 45:04Speaker 2: and he split carries, so that was the crazy part
- 45:08Speaker 2: about it.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
- 45:10Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm going with Dallas Cowboys.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Not happily though, So I think this is easily a
- 45:17Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. And yes, Caleb Williams is one of my
- 45:21Speaker 1: favorite quarterback, or is my favorite quarterback behind Dak Prescott.
- 45:25Speaker 1: So this kind of pulling the hard strings here. So
- 45:26Speaker 1: it's gonna suck to go up against Caleb Williams, my future,
- 45:31Speaker 1: my future Goat. But Cowboys they just have a much
- 45:35Speaker 1: better offense, run game, and if there's any chance as
- 45:40Speaker 1: far as there's the defense, I feel like I'd have
- 45:43Speaker 1: to favor the Cowboys just because you said that Caleb.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Boys, especially without Jalen Johnson right now.
- 45:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and Caleb Williams as of right now, puts the
- 45:51Speaker 1: ball in Harm's way a lot more than Dak Prescott,
- 45:54Speaker 1: so they're gonna have opportunities to do that. But yeah,
- 45:57Speaker 1: you start everybody in this game. Everybody's gonna get and
- 46:00Speaker 1: I'm comfortable starting Caleb Rome, DJ Moore, DeAndre Swift tight end.
- 46:05Speaker 1: I'm not starting to Bears tight end. I'd have to
- 46:07Speaker 1: see it, but every every Cowboys player.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Rome is a must start Rome. I have tried telling
- 46:14Speaker 2: people he's the number one guy, like there's no questions
- 46:16Speaker 2: about it. I think after two weeks in a row
- 46:20Speaker 2: looking for DJ Moore is gonna have games where he booms.
- 46:24Speaker 2: And I will say, because he is a really good
- 46:27Speaker 2: football player, future Kansas City chief. I'm just saying. But
- 46:31Speaker 2: if not, it's okay. But other than that, I think
- 46:34Speaker 2: Romo Donsay is definitely this is his breakout season. I
- 46:39Speaker 2: think a lot of guys, especially a couple of guys
- 46:41Speaker 2: that we know, Hayden and Romo Donsay. Yeah, there's a
- 46:46Speaker 2: reason why he was at the ninth overall and considered
- 46:49Speaker 2: better than Marvin Harrison by some people as.
- 46:51Speaker 1: A pender Wider Neighbors and.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Elik Neighbors coming out of their draft, and he's starting
- 46:58Speaker 2: to prove that now, so he's a must start. Romo
- 47:01Speaker 2: Dunes A, Dj Moore, DeAndre Swift. Caleb Williams is a
- 47:04Speaker 2: must start because.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Though at the past defenses broke.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Well not even that, He's just a must start in general.
- 47:10Speaker 2: For me, I think if you own Kayleb Williams and
- 47:13Speaker 2: maybe have like a Drake he's been put or brock Purty,
- 47:16Speaker 2: I'm starting Kayleb Williams because that rushing upside that he's
- 47:19Speaker 2: been providing has been helping a lot. And plus I
- 47:21Speaker 2: believe he's going to score touchdowns no matter what versus
- 47:24Speaker 2: any t I think just the way that he plays,
- 47:26Speaker 2: so I think you have to chase that. And I
- 47:27Speaker 2: think kill Williams is a must start. On the other side,
- 47:30Speaker 2: that Prescott is a must start. Javon to Williams is
- 47:33Speaker 2: a must start. Jake Ferguson, I'm not completely.
- 47:38Speaker 1: He had six catches about six better options than Jake Ferguson.
- 47:44Speaker 1: For the most part, I just think both teams are
- 47:47Speaker 1: going to be scoring, so I think, yeah, yeah, I
- 47:53Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, But all right, let's get to your
- 47:57Speaker 1: team right here. Kansas City Chiefs first of New York Giant,
- 48:00Speaker 1: and it's both owing to Kansas City's favored by six
- 48:02Speaker 1: and a half over under forty five and a half points.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Xavier' worthy may play as of right now, what I'm
- 48:09Speaker 1: looking at it says it's a fifty to fifty shot.
- 48:11Speaker 1: But who's or how much are the Chiefs winning by?
- 48:15Speaker 1: Is this a crazy bounce back game or this just
- 48:17Speaker 1: get the job?
- 48:18Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs win like a cool twenty to
- 48:22Speaker 2: seventeen in this game, Like, I think it's going to
- 48:24Speaker 2: be a close one the majority of it. I think
- 48:27Speaker 2: this defense is getting back on track, especially like after
- 48:31Speaker 2: last week. They look really good, like and I know
- 48:33Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, like we're getting beat
- 48:35Speaker 2: in the trenches blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 48:37Speaker 2: But in the reality of it, Seikoh and Barkley was
- 48:39Speaker 2: held up in this game until towards the end of
- 48:41Speaker 2: the game when they just kept feeding him. And plus
- 48:44Speaker 2: the Eagles only score touchdowns when they were given short
- 48:47Speaker 2: yards to like short field to play, short fields to
- 48:50Speaker 2: play with. Now, I just don't think that's going to
- 48:52Speaker 2: happen again this week. I believe that the Chiefs realize
- 48:54Speaker 2: a lot of the mistakes that they made, and as
- 48:56Speaker 2: far as the New York Giants, I think they'll get exposed,
- 48:59Speaker 2: especially about the Kens City Chiefs in this one. I
- 49:01Speaker 2: believe Taekwon Thorn is gonna be targeted a lot, especially
- 49:04Speaker 2: in the intermedia. I feel like there's gonna be like
- 49:05Speaker 2: a Juju Smith Schuster involved a couple of these guys
- 49:08Speaker 2: that you really don't expect. And I believe this is
- 49:09Speaker 2: the Travis Kelce redemption game. I'm not gonna say that
- 49:13Speaker 2: he's gonna go eight like eight poop and go freaking
- 49:18Speaker 2: catch eight catches for one hundred and forty yards and
- 49:20Speaker 2: a two touchdown. Bitches Travis Kelsey performance. But I do
- 49:24Speaker 2: think it's like a cool six for like sixty two
- 49:27Speaker 2: and maybe a touchdown. And for me in the day
- 49:30Speaker 2: that Travis Kelce is in today, at the twilight of
- 49:33Speaker 2: his career, I think that's good enough for me, and
- 49:36Speaker 2: especially if he does that, I believe the job will
- 49:38Speaker 2: get done. So running game though for us, I'm not sure,
- 49:44Speaker 2: but we got we got the best rusher in the
- 49:46Speaker 2: NFL right now leading our team and rushing the first
- 49:49Speaker 2: two weeks. Patrick Mahomes on our side, so he's not
- 49:52Speaker 2: I don't think he lets us lose three in a row.
- 49:54Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I just don't think that a team that's
- 49:57Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl three straight years is gonna is
- 50:00Speaker 1: gonna go ozer win three to the New York Giants,
- 50:03Speaker 1: head of all teams. And I know they pushed the
- 50:05Speaker 1: Cowboys to the brink, but Chiefs, they just have a
- 50:07Speaker 1: much better defense and Mahomes. No matter what it takes,
- 50:11Speaker 1: even if this looks like an ugly thirteen to ten game,
- 50:14Speaker 1: I say it's gonna look close.
- 50:16Speaker 2: And to be honest, I don't care how it looks.
- 50:18Speaker 2: As long as we just walk away with the one
- 50:20Speaker 2: and the win call them. That's all I'm looking for
- 50:22Speaker 2: in this game.
- 50:23Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think because I saw Andy Reid, he
- 50:28Speaker 1: just basically said, like, we need to get the job done.
- 50:30Speaker 1: So I could easily see a more conservative game, like
- 50:35Speaker 1: basically saying let's just get out of here with the
- 50:37Speaker 1: dub and let's not do nothing dumb. And yeah, but
- 50:41Speaker 1: all right, this last game, the Monday night game, Detroit
- 50:45Speaker 1: Lions versus Baltimore Ravens. This is in Baltimore. Baltimore is
- 50:48Speaker 1: favored by four and a half. Over under is fifty
- 50:51Speaker 1: three and a half, So I lied. The Bills and
- 50:53Speaker 1: Cowboys were tied for second most over under. This is
- 50:56Speaker 1: the highest over under right here, fifty three and a
- 50:59Speaker 1: half points. Who's winning?
- 51:02Speaker 2: There's the Lions the Ravens. Right last game? Yeah, yeah,
- 51:05Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Detroit Lions. I feel like
- 51:09Speaker 2: I think the Detroit Lions defense is especially gonna have
- 51:12Speaker 2: a couple of run fits for Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.
- 51:15Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they're gonna stop them, because you
- 51:16Speaker 2: can never truly neutralize them unless I mean last week
- 51:20Speaker 2: Derrick Henary did kind of get neutralized, But I believe
- 51:24Speaker 2: that they can stow them down enough to where their
- 51:25Speaker 2: offense is given opportunities to outscore the Baltimore Ravens. And
- 51:29Speaker 2: I think the Baltimore Ravens are gonna struggle a little
- 51:31Speaker 2: bit against a team like a Detroit Lions, if they
- 51:33Speaker 2: struggled against a team like the Buffalo Bills. I understand
- 51:36Speaker 2: they have Josh Allen, but they got weapons galower Detroit Lions,
- 51:40Speaker 2: and I think last week was kind of one of
- 51:41Speaker 2: those games that tune them up to who they are
- 51:44Speaker 2: and who they truly are as a high powered, extreme
- 51:48Speaker 2: offense that can get the job done against anybody. So
- 51:51Speaker 2: for me, I'm gonna go with the Detroit Lions to
- 51:53Speaker 2: start this week. I understanding the last time they played
- 51:55Speaker 2: the Ravens did beat them down pretty bad.
- 51:58Speaker 1: But this is a new year, so I was just
- 52:02Speaker 1: I was just trying to look at exactly what Lamar
- 52:05Speaker 1: Jackson's record is versus NFC. So I'm taking I'm taking
- 52:08Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens here. Lamar Jackson just does not lose
- 52:12Speaker 1: to NFC teams. He's twenty four and two against those
- 52:15Speaker 1: one h six pass rating forty seven touchdowns to nine interceptions.
- 52:20Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson, for some reason, they just were not
- 52:23Speaker 1: for some reason, they're not used to his fast and
- 52:26Speaker 1: dynamic play style. So Lamar Jackson he's gonna have his
- 52:30Speaker 1: vintage game. And I think because Caleb Williams did really
- 52:34Speaker 1: did really well against the Lions defense, and Jordan Love
- 52:39Speaker 1: he did solid against the Lions defense, and Lamar Jackson
- 52:42Speaker 1: is just on a different level. And to answer your question,
- 52:44Speaker 1: we haven't even Caleb Williams or Lamar Jackson. What hold on?
- 52:48Speaker 2: Last game? We didn't even do Chiefs Giants must start
- 52:51Speaker 2: real quick if we didn't, No, I do you think
- 52:54Speaker 2: we did? Malague? Leavers must start. Oh Leak is gonna
- 52:58Speaker 2: draw Trey McDuffie. But I do gamescript. I think game
- 53:01Speaker 2: script they're gonna have to push the ball, and I
- 53:03Speaker 2: think Milie Neighbors still ends up having a good day.
- 53:05Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go. Milik Neighbors must start, like you said,
- 53:08Speaker 2: Wandale Robinson unless they double team Milik Neighbors and stick
- 53:14Speaker 2: like a McDuffie on a Wandelle Robinson, it's a little scary.
- 53:17Speaker 1: I could see that.
- 53:18Speaker 2: It's a little scary. So for me, Wandale is a
- 53:21Speaker 2: flex play. I think he's always a flex play in
- 53:24Speaker 2: my opinion. I just think the floor with what you
- 53:27Speaker 2: can get, like solid nine points. No matter what, I think,
- 53:30Speaker 2: he's a he's a must start, and the flex position
- 53:34Speaker 2: solely flex position, running back room, staying away until I
- 53:37Speaker 2: see a clear cut guy. That's about it on that side.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Look at the other side, Patrick Mahomes, I think for me,
- 53:45Speaker 2: he's been tearing it up the first couple of games
- 53:47Speaker 2: by himself. Travis Kelcey, I think is a must start,
- 53:50Speaker 2: even though he didn't have a big day, he started
- 53:52Speaker 2: four for sixty one in this last one. If he
- 53:55Speaker 2: catches that touchdown, I mean, for Travis Kelsey, that looked
- 53:58Speaker 2: that it would be turned into a nineteen point day
- 54:00Speaker 2: and you're not really worry too much about it at all.
- 54:03Speaker 2: Everywhere you play it. You started Xavier Worthy.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I feel like that would just boost the
- 54:08Speaker 1: kan City offense to a whole different level. But yah
- 54:11Speaker 1: know as far as yeah, with this game right here,
- 54:14Speaker 1: I just think both teams are going to be feasting
- 54:17Speaker 1: in this game because both defenses have looked pretty shaky.
- 54:21Speaker 1: That looked pretty shaky. I know the Ravens add good
- 54:23Speaker 1: against the Browns, but the Browns offense, like we were saying,
- 54:26Speaker 1: it's up and down. You never know what to expect
- 54:28Speaker 1: from them. So I like it says this is the
- 54:30Speaker 1: highest over under for a reason. So I expect some
- 54:33Speaker 1: points to be on the board. I could see easily.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't. I don't know how I or
- 54:39Speaker 1: how I said. With the Bengals and the Jaguars game,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I predicted it was gonna be thirty one to twenty seven,
- 54:45Speaker 1: and I think I almost got it on the dot.
- 54:47Speaker 1: I remember the exact score between them, but yeah, I know,
- 54:50Speaker 1: I think this game right here, if I had to
- 54:52Speaker 1: pick a score, I'm saying a thirty four to twenty
- 54:55Speaker 1: eight right here, thirty four to twenty eight, some points
- 54:58Speaker 1: on the board, and everybody starts. I think this is
- 55:02Speaker 1: a similar situation with the Cowboys and Bears. You start
- 55:05Speaker 1: everybody on this team on both teams, you starting David Montgomery. Yeah,
- 55:10Speaker 1: I'm starting David Montgomery because especially goal line work, they're
- 55:15Speaker 1: gonna just try to get the those points right there,
- 55:17Speaker 1: and they're gonna need them. They're gonna need every single
- 55:19Speaker 1: bits of points. But that's everything right there. And okay,
- 55:25Speaker 1: we picked I want to do this. We picked one
- 55:28Speaker 1: fantasy football player last week that was gonna go off.
- 55:31Speaker 1: I picked Derrick Henry. You picked Jamier Gibbs, which crazy coincidence.
- 55:35Speaker 1: This is the Monday night football game. You you won
- 55:37Speaker 1: that bet. You won that bet right there, and we're
- 55:40Speaker 1: gonna have to do this right here because I have Cincinnati,
- 55:43Speaker 1: you have Minnesota, I have Pittsburgh, you have New England,
- 55:46Speaker 1: and you have the Rams. I have Philly and I
- 55:49Speaker 1: have Baltimore. You have Detroit, so we could go whoever
- 55:54Speaker 1: has a better Fantasy football day, they win the tiebreaker.
- 56:00Speaker 1: We did running back last week.
- 56:01Speaker 2: You want to do Jordan Mason.
- 56:03Speaker 1: You're doing Jordan's out of everybody?
- 56:07Speaker 2: Out of everybody?
- 56:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, well a certain position. Do you
- 56:13Speaker 1: want to stick to running back?
- 56:19Speaker 2: Running back, shooting?
- 56:23Speaker 1: We're sticking with running back.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Wide receiver. I'm gonna go see the lamb.
- 56:30Speaker 1: Damn you, damn you better. Okay, okay, let's see. Let
- 56:39Speaker 1: me let me look, since you a touchdown this week,
- 56:42Speaker 1: since you obviously stole my pick there, I knew, I
- 56:47Speaker 1: knew it. You you already knew. You already knew. Okay,
- 56:51Speaker 1: if I have to pick the next best option.
- 56:55Speaker 2: Here, there's got to be conference this week. So I
- 56:58Speaker 2: mean there's there is gonna be good college football games.
- 57:02Speaker 1: Here. Let me let me check college football week. This
- 57:08Speaker 1: is week three, No, this is week four.
- 57:09Speaker 2: For I believe Tech in Utah are playing brother.
- 57:12Speaker 1: Tech Tech in Utah. You want to do the Techno Utah?
- 57:17Speaker 2: All right, we'll do give me Texas Tech.
- 57:21Speaker 1: I don't mind picking. What what is it the Utes
- 57:24Speaker 1: that that's their nickname?
- 57:25Speaker 2: Right?
- 57:25Speaker 1: I think I think that's the utes for Utah.
- 57:28Speaker 2: So yeah, I know you used to be good at football.
- 57:31Speaker 2: After this game, it's gonna.
- 57:32Speaker 1: Be hey, we'll we'll see this. This one's gonna be
- 57:35Speaker 1: a good game. I'm surprised as games this early, but
- 57:38Speaker 1: I still want to do just for fun as far
- 57:41Speaker 1: as the fantasy football. Fantasy football one so you can
- 57:45Speaker 1: get right back, okay, And this one it's gonna be
- 57:52Speaker 1: more of a projecting. Right here, I say, ze Flowers
- 57:56Speaker 1: has a big day versus a Detroit Lion. So give
- 58:01Speaker 1: me Zay Flowers. Since you took my guy, I'm gonna
- 58:04Speaker 1: just throw a shot in the dark. And since this
- 58:06Speaker 1: really has no stakes right here, give me Zay Flowers
- 58:09Speaker 1: to be a better wide receiver than CD Lamb this week,
- 58:13Speaker 1: which I think CD is going to go eight. Wait
- 58:16Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait, give me Roma Dunes. What
- 58:18Speaker 1: am I talking about? What am I talking.
- 58:21Speaker 2: About here on the other side?
