SportsTranscript
00:00It is NFL Week 7, and it's crazy that we are flying through the season and getting
00:12to this point.
00:14So you guys know how we do it around these parts.
00:16We go through each game and give at least one pick for it.
00:20And then, if I remember, we do some fantasy football stuff in there as well.
00:25So that is what is on the docket.
00:27Let's start very early in the morning, out in England, as the Jacksonville Jaguars take
00:33on the Patriots of New England.
00:35Sorry, Jags are favored by 6.5 points.
00:39Some places you can get that at just 6, with the total around 41.5 and 42.
00:46This is about as must-win as it gets for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
00:52The season has spiraled out of control, and I'm not saying a win here turns the season
00:59around, but I think a loss here absolutely leads to the firing of coaches and all of
01:05those sorts of things.
01:07It has gone so far off the rails out in Jacksonville.
01:11They are, holy cow, four games out of a first place in their division.
01:18It feels like the Texans, I know we're talking about Jacksonville, but it feels like the
01:21Texans have kind of stumbled so far this year.
01:23And they're 5-1.
01:25That's kind of impressive, actually.
01:27And for a playoff spot right now, they are already, 4-3 gets you in after Denver's win
01:32last night.
01:33So at 1-5, they are two and a half games out of a playoff spot.
01:37If they want to do anything, it is go time.
01:39And this is a team you have to do it against.
01:42Jacksonville's defense has had some struggles at times, New England's offensive line is
01:45terrible.
01:46I think there's going to be a lot of people who are going to be buying into what we saw
01:49from Drake May in the second half of that game against Jacksonville on, um, sorry, in
01:55the second half of their game against Houston last week.
01:58I don't necessarily, like, I think Drake May will be good.
02:02I just think that there are going to be some times where there is going to be maybe a little
02:05bit more resistance than that.
02:07But I do think that it's just, it's spiraled in Jacksonville.
02:11It's not happening for them.
02:12It's not working.
02:14So, this will be one of the few times that we will be taking the Patriots this year.
02:20We're going to go New England, plus six in this spot.
02:23But in no way is that one that we are going to, um, going to be clicking on.
02:27Sorry.
02:28I thought I had more desk space than I actually do.
02:30I'm trying to write these all out as we get going for tracking purposes, obviously.
02:36Next, stateside, it is the Tennessee Titans taking on the Buffalo Bills.
02:43You have the Bills favored, holy shit, Bills favored by 9.5, with the total fluctuating
02:50between 38.5 and 40.
02:53A lot of optimism in Buffalo around Amari Cooper.
02:56Oh, sorry, I didn't do the fantasy football advice from the New England-Jacksonville game.
03:01There isn't a whole lot.
03:02Don't start many of them.
03:04If you are desperate, Demario Douglas seemed to be the apple of the eye of Drake May.
03:07That's not a bad play.
03:09Ramondre Stevenson, I think, will probably have a decent day here.
03:12Drake May, we're still a little bit away from trusting him as a fantasy quarterback.
03:16And for Jacksonville, New England's defense hasn't been as good lately, so it's not
03:22the worst matchup for a Trevor Lawrence, but you probably have better options out there.
03:27ETN, I believe, still remains banged up.
03:30Bigsby isn't a bad play, I don't think, at all.
03:34And Thomas and Kirk, I think, are okay wide receiver options.
03:37Now, Tennessee taking on Buffalo.
03:39Bill's favored by 9.5 points in this game.
03:41The total is, again, you can get it at 38.5 or 40.5, depending on where you look.
03:48The Bills' optimism, Amari Cooper in the building now, that gives them a real option,
03:57and I think we are going to see, really, what Amari Cooper still has left in the tank after
04:02spending some time in purgatory out in Cleveland.
04:06For the Titans, I understand the negativity, based on how the quarterback has played and
04:13all of those sorts of things, but I just, I still don't think they are that bad.
04:19And I think that this is a defense, again, that has a lot of talent on it.
04:23I think that, offensively, they actually have a few guys who will be able to take advantage
04:27of a Buffalo defense that still isn't very good.
04:30And this has, I think, it's been a trend that we've kind of picked up on here the
04:34last little bit.
04:35People are very excited to take Buffalo seriously, at a moment's notice, and I still think there
04:41are flaws on this team.
04:43Now, I think they win this game, but I am, for the second game in a row, we are going
04:46with the, we're going to take some points, and we're going to take Tennessee plus nine
04:51and a half.
04:52From a fantasy football perspective, Josh Allen, you're starting.
04:57Great advice.
04:58At the running back spot, I haven't seen, are we anticipating that James Cook will be
05:04available for this particular contest?
05:07Let me see here.
05:08James Cook, upgraded to full participant.
05:13So he will be probably a go, then, for this one.
05:17So any Ray Davis stock or Ty Johnson, Ty Johnson, you can throw that out the window.
05:21That was a devastating one for fantasy owners, although it benefited me in the Vampire League.
05:27That's been a devastating one for him to kind of, or for owners there.
05:32But I think James Cook probably has a decent game here against Tennessee Titans run defense.
05:37For pass catchers, Ahmari Cooper, I'm assuming Ahmari Cooper is going to play in this game.
05:43If you've already been starting Ahmari Cooper, and you're worried about, oh, well, who can,
05:48like he's not going to know the offense, it's going to hold him back, it's like, oh yeah,
05:51no, you'd hate to not have those big plays that he was getting out in Cleveland.
05:57Like I do think that he is going to have, I think that he's going to have an impact
06:01in this one.
06:02I think that, as far as the other ones go, we kind of talked about this a little bit,
06:07I don't view this as a bad thing for the other pass catching options on this team.
06:14I think Khalil Shakir now gets a little bit less attention from defenses, and so I think
06:20he can actually still have some value.
06:22I don't know if the volume is going to be there anymore for Akeelon Coleman to have
06:25a ton of value, but I would hope that Kincaid still has a little bit for you as well.
06:30On the Tennessee side, Pollard is really pulling ahead as the number one running back in that
06:35situation.
06:36Will Levis is a never start, and Calvin Ridley at least is getting targets, so hopefully
06:41that gets a little bit better here against Buffalo.
06:45It's just tough to trust any of the pass catching options right now out in Tennessee.
06:51Miami taking on the Indianapolis Colts.
06:54The Colts are favored by three in this game, with the total between 43 and 45 and a half.
07:00We have Miami as one of the bottom five teams in the NFL right now, just based on the quarterback
07:05play.
07:06Indianapolis isn't getting a ton better, and their defense can be a little bit predictable,
07:10but it is just so stuck in the mud, everything out in Miami right now.
07:14And so, I think this one will be, as Jim Ross would call it, bowling shoe ugly.
07:20I think this game is going to be gross, and I think that we are going to see...
07:25I don't think we're going to see this one much on red zone, is what I'm getting at.
07:28And so, I am going to go under 45 and a half on this one.
07:34From a fantasy football standpoint, I don't know how you're trusting many in this game.
07:40Most are probably not.
07:42Any running back option out in Miami right now is a if you have to, I guess, but I think
07:48the defense is kind of known now that they can stock, just pile up the box with like
07:52ten and not really have to worry about it.
07:55You're probably in a spot where you have to trust Tyreek Hill.
07:58Even Waddle is a little bit iffy right now.
08:00On the indie side, I need to see a couple big games from Anthony Richardson before I
08:05am buying it.
08:07I don't think Jonathan Taylor is back yet, so we will just do a quick one on that, and
08:14we will see.
08:16Still not practicing, so that's probably a no-go.
08:18Sermon, I think, is an okay play this week.
08:21I think Michael Pittman and Josh Downs continue to be alright 1, like wide receiver 2, wide
08:26receiver 3 type of category.
08:29This one could be the game of the week.
08:31It is the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings.
08:35The Vikings at home, favored by a point and a half in this game, with the total between
08:4050 and a half and 51 and a half.
08:44So, flirting with that key number of 51 right now.
08:47This is going to tell us a lot about both of these teams.
08:51Minnesota, it does kind of feel like, while things have been going well and they are still
08:55undefeated, the arrow is still just a touch in the down spot right now.
09:00It is just, it is not the dominant thing that we have been seeing for the first couple of
09:08weeks.
09:09There are some holes that are starting to appear in this, and for this Minnesota team,
09:18no Aaron Jones hurts.
09:19They go out and acquire Cam Akers.
09:22The offense, getting Addison back has really, really helped.
09:26And I just, I am so interested to see this one, because I am still, I am still a little
09:30hesitant to take Minnesota fully seriously.
09:34The one thing I do like about this team is this defense is legit, legit, legit.
09:40And so I think that does help them.
09:42And now for Detroit, they were doing so much based off of how well that front four was
09:48playing.
09:49Obviously Aiden Hutchinson is not there anymore.
09:51And so I think that does have a significant impact on the pass rush now.
09:54I also think that it has an impact on how they are able to play the run.
09:59And it just, it has all of these, all these impacts as it goes on.
10:05Offensively, this team's figured it out.
10:06They're putting up some major points, but it'll be a great test here against Brian Flores.
10:11I'm fascinated by this game.
10:14I don't know if I can fully commit to a side.
10:17Right now, I do, it's going to be kind of a lame play.
10:20I'm going under 51 and a half for this game.
10:23I think that the Minnesota defense is going to be good enough that it's going to kind
10:27of put a cap on what Detroit does.
10:30And I think offensively, they're going to be able to control the football enough that
10:33it's going to, I think it's still going to be an exciting game.
10:35I just don't know if it's going to be that high scoring type of a game.
10:38Out in Cleveland, it is the Bengals taking on the Browns.
10:43Cincinnati favored by five and a half points with a total at 41 and a half.
10:48This one, I think, is quite simple.
10:50I think that Cincinnati is just a better football team right now.
10:54I think that the wheels have completely fallen off out in Cleveland.
10:58And I get Nick Chubb comes back, so maybe that provides a bit of a dynamic element to
11:01this offense.
11:02But if you guys have watched this for a bit, you know, I actually think Jerome Ford is
11:06a pretty good running back.
11:08And so I don't know how much of an upgrade you get there with whatever Nick Chubb has
11:13left compared to what Jerome Ford was providing.
11:17I think Cincinnati's offense, they do kind of get shut down a little bit last week against
11:23the New York Giants.
11:25But I think that this is still, like, they are just a better football team.
11:29So I am going to go Cincinnati minus five and a half.
11:32And I think that we are still in a spot where it is nice that we can only have to give up
11:40five and a half points when picking against the Cleveland Browns.
11:44Another excellent game here.
11:45Out in Green Bay, it is the Packers taking on the Houston Texans.
11:48Green Bay favored by two and a half points with the total fluctuating between 47 and
11:52a half and 48.
11:54You have a Packers club that, again, feels like maybe they figured something out last
11:59week as they dummied Arizona, while the Texans, it's still not looking all the way like you
12:05would want it to.
12:0641 points against New England last week is great.
12:09And I guess I shouldn't be just poo-pooing that after what Green Bay did a week ago against
12:14Arizona.
12:16Because I don't know if one is significantly more legitimate than the other, especially
12:20on the defensive side of things.
12:22But it's still not perfect with no Nico Collins there at wide receiver for Houston.
12:27And for Green Bay, I think that defensively, it maybe hasn't improved as much as I would
12:32have liked.
12:33But offensively, Jordan Love looks like he is back, and that was the biggest part of
12:37the game against Arizona, is that it feels a little bit more comfortable right now.
12:41And so, for those reasons, I am going to go Green Bay minus two and a half.
12:46There aren't a whole lot of plays this week that I'm super confident in, though.
12:49Like, there isn't that, okay, this is the one we gotta go with.
12:53This is the locked-in, we are absolutely going to be doing this one here.
12:57Honestly, right now, the first one to click on would be that Indy and Miami one at under
13:05the 45 and a half.
13:09Oh, that has shifted even since we've, oh no, there we go, got it.
13:15This Twitch stream is moving lines, that's clearly how it's going.
13:18I don't think we did the fantasy breakdown story of the last one, Detroit against Minnesota.
13:23For the Vikings, Sam Darnold I don't think is a start this week, although, you can pass
13:28on Detroit a little bit, right?
13:30Yeah, I think, if you've been rolling with Sam Darnold to this point, you maybe don't
13:35have another option, although they were just on a bye last week, so if that bye week option
13:39that you had is better, then go with that, great analysis, I know.
13:43But if you have any questions on that in the chat, let me know.
13:48I wouldn't be rushing to start him, though.
13:50At the running back spot, it's, if Aaron Jones is out, and I do believe that he is
13:57out, right?
13:58Oh no, he is likely to play this week, apologies.
14:02That helps them out, I think, quite a bit, and I think that you still can start him now,
14:07because Detroit has been good against the run, but again, no Aidan Hutchinson, and Aaron
14:10Jones has just been really good, and then there's no world where you are sitting Justin
14:15Jefferson, and I think Addison is a good play as well.
14:16On the Detroit side, you're starting everyone.
14:19Goff, maybe you have better options than Jared Goff, so you can sit that, but Gibbs, Montgomery,
14:25Amon Raw, St. Brown, Williams, all those guys, you're playing them.
14:29On a fantasy perspective, Cincinnati against Cleveland, I mean, if you've been sitting
14:33on Chubb for this long, you kind of got to play him, right?
14:37There's no way, but there's no one else on Cleveland that I'm rushing out to play.
14:41Jerry Judy maybe has a bit of value this week.
14:43For Cincinnati, Burrow, you probably have to.
14:47At running back, it's a bit of a mess right now with Moss and Brown.
14:51Those are kind of deeper league plays only, I would think.
14:53And then, Chase Higgins, you're starting both of those guys.
14:56And in the Green Bay-Houston game that we were just talking about, I think this is a
15:01smoke them if you got them game, you're starting Trout, you're starting Love.
15:04At running back, you're starting Nixon, you're starting Josh Jacobs.
15:07Wide receivers, you're starting Dell, you're starting Diggs.
15:09For Green Bay, you're starting Reid, Watson is healthy and playing, I think you're starting
15:14him as well.
15:16The Dobbs one is not really going there, and Wicks is banged up right now, so I would not.
15:22Seattle, taking on the Atlanta Falcons, you have a Falcons team favored by 2.5 points
15:26with the total hovering around 50.5 and 51.5, so again, looking at those key numbers.
15:33It seems like we're really taking Atlanta seriously now.
15:36And I do think that the Thursday Niter, we've had a couple of spotlight games in a row now,
15:41where Seattle has put up some really big points late to try to get back into these games,
15:47but they really have gotten off to some pretty slow starts.
15:52And I think that that has really come back to bite them.
15:55And so, I think we're going to get a little bit more creative on the play for this game.
16:00You're going to go Atlanta, first half, minus a point and a half over Seattle.
16:07This is just a team that has, the last few weeks, really relied on some scramble plays
16:13to try to go out and get the job done late in these contests.
16:18And so, we are going to go with Atlanta there, minus a point and a half in the first half.
16:24Philadelphia, taking on the Giants in the last game of the 11 o'clock window.
16:28You have the Eagles, favored by three to three and a half, depending on where you look,
16:33with the total fluctuating between 40 and 42 and a half.
16:38This one, this is, talk about must-wins.
16:42I think if the Eagles lose this, I think Sirianni is cooked.
16:45I think he's gone.
16:46I think he's fired.
16:47Even though this team came off of a win, that was about as unimpressive of a win this year
16:53as any team is going to have.
16:56There is a lot of frustration among a fan base out in Philadelphia.
17:00The offense just isn't working.
17:02Defensively, it's been better, but still not to where it was when they made the run to
17:07the Super Bowl.
17:08And now, you have significant competition in this division, in the Washington Commanders.
17:13On the Giants' side, it sounds like Mille Leagues neighbors could be coming back.
17:18Defensively, they have been playing better.
17:21And so, it is, a whole lot of narratives are pointing against Philadelphia right now.
17:27And last week was kind of the last time I am going to trust you, sort of a moment here
17:32for me with the Eagles.
17:33And so, we are going to go with the New York Giants plus the three and a half in this game.
17:41And honestly, Giants plus 148 Moneyline, a little bit interesting, if you were going
17:47to do the sprinkling.
17:48Again, this is not advice.
17:50This is just a, you know, that's an interesting look, so to speak.
17:53But yeah, I just, nothing from the Eagles tells me that they're going to go on the
17:56road and lay the smack down on anyone right now.
18:00Washington, taking on Carolina as we go into the 2 o'clock games, for those of you in
18:05the Mountain Time Zone.
18:06You have Washington favored by seven and a half points, the total's at 52 to 54, depending
18:10on where you look.
18:12For Carolina, it's back down to earth.
18:15It's been neat that Andy Dalton came in, did all those things.
18:19But now that they face resistance, it has just kind of fallen apart out there in Carolina
18:24again.
18:25And I do think that maybe we get to a point where you have to put Bryce Young back in,
18:31just to see what you have, because it is becoming very apparent that this is going to be a team
18:35that, again, is going to be drafting in a spot where you can get a quarterback.
18:41And we talked the other day about how I would really caution against that if I was Carolina.
18:48I do understand why they would maybe do that.
18:52And so I think for Carolina, this last half of the season now, I think you have to put
18:56Bryce Young in.
18:57I think you have to give this one last chance to see what is going to happen with this kid.
19:05In terms of, I mean, obviously, this game doesn't hold a whole lot of intrigue if I'm
19:08talking about Carolina draft strategies already.
19:12It's Washington minus seven and a half, like there isn't, uh, yeah.
19:16There's nothing that leads me to believe that this is going to be anything other than
19:19just an absolute sound and thorough ass-kicking.
19:24Even let me look at this, Washington team total right now, total's at 30 and a half.
19:30Good lord.
19:31Oh boy, that's high.
19:34Yeah, I was hoping it might be a little bit lower than that, that we could maybe take
19:38advantage of, but that's kind of buying in a best case scenario, I would say.
19:42The Rams, at home, against the Vegas Raiders.
19:45The Rams are favored by six and a half points in this game.
19:48There is some thought that Cooper Cup could be checking back into the lineup this week.
19:53This one's actually an interesting game, from a point spread standpoint, from a footballing
19:58standpoint.
19:59I don't think it's going to be a lovely game to look at at all.
20:05But I do have some questions here.
20:07I understand that, I think that there is a market hit on the Raiders because Devontae
20:12Adams is gone.
20:13That being said, he's been gone for a couple of weeks.
20:16And now the offense hasn't looked great, so that's, you know, probably one on that
20:20side.
20:21But, it's not like this was this, like, giant thing that was carrying this team and
20:25now it's out there.
20:27They have been anticipating life without Devontae Adams for a few weeks now.
20:30So I don't think that this was a gigantic shock to the system, or anything like that.
20:35Now Aiden O'Connell is bad.
20:36So, there is also that.
20:38But for the Rams, none of it has looked good in the last little while.
20:42And I get Cooper Cup is coming back, and him against the Raiders defense, he should be
20:45able to feast in this game.
20:48And now, let's just quickly see, Cooper Cup is coming back, right?
20:52He asks from a fantasy standpoint as well.
20:59Back on practice field.
21:01But can he play against the Rams?
21:02Boy, there's a lot of please-click-our-headline things going on here.
21:05Again, just a quick journalistic aside, that's the point of a headline, is to make people
21:09click on your thing.
21:10Oh, what a click-baity headline.
21:12It's like, yeah, that's every fucking headline.
21:14You know, like, it would be click-baity if I put, like, um, new details on P. Diddy
21:20in this stream about football.
21:22Like that's click-baity.
21:23But will Cooper Cup be ready to play?
21:26Find out.
21:27That's what a headline's supposed to do.
21:28It's supposed to draw you in.
21:29So, that's neither here nor there.
21:31In terms of the actual football, though, if Cooper Cup is ready to play in this game,
21:37then that is obviously a big boost to this team offensively.
21:41And the Raiders do not have a player in that secondary that I think can effectively shut
21:47him down.
21:48So, that gives the Rams a bit of a thing on offense, but defensively, like, this team
21:52has not been all that great.
21:55And so, I'm kind of leaning Raiders plus seven in this game just because I don't think
22:02the Rams are a good enough team to think that they can win a game by more than a touchdown
22:08right now.
22:09When have we seen that Rams team look like that?
22:12We haven't.
22:13The one other part of this that would give me pause on that is I don't know if there
22:19is a bigger coaching mismatch in the league right now than Sean McVay against Antonio
22:24Pierce.
22:25So, that is the one thing that is keeping me from clicking on this one, but I am, for
22:29purposes of the game that we play here, going to be taking Raiders plus seven.
22:35And now, what is, for many, the game of the week.
22:37Out in San Francisco, as the 49ers take on the Chiefs.
22:41San Francisco, favored by a point and a half of the total sitting at 46 to 47 and a half
22:46right now.
22:48This one is so intriguing.
22:49You have Kansas City, who have just been scraping by every week and just finding ways
22:55to win every single week with minimal help from talented players.
23:01And the talent they do have continues to get injured.
23:04And they have setback after setback.
23:06Going up against a San Francisco 49ers team that started off the year with injury problems
23:11and is now getting healthy and could have momentum off of a Thursday night win over
23:16Seattle.
23:17So, they have time to prepare for their hated rival in the Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming
23:23off of a bye, so they have extra, extra time to prepare for the San Francisco 49ers.
23:30This is, this is great.
23:32It's Super Bowl rematch, basically, like, all due respect, Carolina Washington and Vegas
23:38against the Raiders, basically on an island.
23:41In the four o'clock, two o'clock slot, depending on, I guess, one o'clock for those out in
23:45the Pacific time zone, which, ew.
23:47But, um, I am, again, endlessly fascinated by this game.
23:53I, the one thing I keep coming back to is I don't know how you can feel confident right
23:58now in San Francisco in a close game.
24:01We've talked about this a couple of times here, where we've had some very frustrated
24:05people with the 49ers in this chat at various different points, asking, like, what is going
24:10on with Kyle Shanahan?
24:12How has this fallen apart in this way?
24:15I, because the late game stuff just has not been there for them.
24:21They have really, really done a bad job of closing these games out, and so against Andy
24:27Reid and against this Kansas City Chiefs defense, more specifically, I don't know how I can
24:33trust that.
24:34And so my lean right now is Kansas City.
24:37I just, I get, like, it hasn't looked overly impressive at any point this year, but what
24:42it has done is win.
24:45And I think that this team just knows, it's so cliche, but they know how to win.
24:50And for San Francisco, while they've done a lot of winning, when it gets down to those
24:55close games, I don't know if they know how to do that.
24:57Also, they have injuries galore at the running back spot.
25:00I don't think they're going to be able to run the ball at all.
25:03And so again, when you're trying to seal this game away, if they are, I don't think
25:07that they will be able to do that against this Kansas City defense.
25:11I think that, I think Kansas City makes a statement that, yeah, look, we're not blowing
25:15everyone out by 20 points the way you would want us to.
25:18And this isn't the high-powered offensive a few years ago, and all of those things.
25:21But this is still a damn good football team, and I think Kansas City reminds us of that
25:25here this week, with a victory.
25:27So I am going, you know what, I'm not even going to take the, you're trying to give me
25:31two points?
25:32Not even going to take them.
25:33I'm just going to go Kansas City straight up to win this game on the money line.
25:37And then waiting all day for Sunday night.
25:39Obviously, a lot of storylines in this one, as the Jets take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
25:44Before we get to that, fantasy talk, because I've missed it from the last three games now.
25:48Fuck, four games, I think.
25:50Maybe even five.
25:51Holy shit.
25:52Sorry.
25:53Quick fantasy talk on a few of these.
25:56Seattle against Atlanta.
25:57I think you're starting, basically everyone in this game, Seattle's defense has been a
26:02little holy lately.
26:04And so for Atlanta, yeah, you are, I think you can trust Algier, along with Bijon Robinson.
26:08Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts, all of them.
26:13Go.
26:14Run with it.
26:15Be free.
26:16I think you have to.
26:17And for Seattle, you're not sitting Kenneth Walker or DK Metcalf, and I think you can
26:22trust the secondary options in Lockett and JSN as well, and I think Geno Smith is a play
26:26this week, along with Kirk Cousins.
26:27I think he has a good game against Seattle.
26:30Giants against Philadelphia.
26:33For the Giants, it's neighbors.
26:35Tracy, I think Singletary's coming back, and so maybe you're a little hesitant on that
26:40one.
26:41I still think that Tracy gets a boatload of the work when this game wraps up, or, well,
26:46as this season, sorry, winds on, because they want to go with the younger option to see
26:50what they have over Singletary.
26:52For Philadelphia, you kind of got to, right?
26:54Like, Saquon Barkley, revenge game, so there's that aspect of it that I didn't talk about
26:58before.
26:59You have Jalen Hurts, I think you kind of have to right now.
27:04And AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, I think you can roll with those guys as well.
27:08Carolina against Washington.
27:09Carolina, it's Hubbard, you trust, and it's Deontay Johnson, yes.
27:13After that, maybe not.
27:14I mean, because we're anticipating maybe a bit of a higher-scoring game, I think Xavier
27:18Leguette can have a bit of fantasy value for the 14 and 16 teamers out there, and for Washington,
27:22you're starting your commanders.
27:23Jaden Daniels is a must-start every week.
27:27It sounds like Robinson's a little bit banged up, so keep an eye on that situation, but
27:30I think Austin Eckler and even McNichols have some value at the running back spot,
27:36and at wide receiver, it's them, right?
27:38It's Terry McLaurin that you are rocking with.
27:41And even at tight end, we don't give out tight end advice a whole lot here, but I think Zach
27:44Kurtz has a good week this week as well.
27:46Rams against the Raiders, it would be tough to see Raiders on the other side and not start
27:53Matthew Stafford, so I think you have to there.
27:56Obviously, Kyron Williams, you're starting at running back.
27:59At wide receiver, Cooper Cup, you can just roll with that one pretty confidently and
28:03feel alright, I think, in that situation.
28:06I think you can feel pretty good about that.
28:08And that's kind of it.
28:11On the Raiders' side, Jacoby Myers has been questionable all week.
28:14If he goes, you go with him.
28:16Bowers, you kind of have to, and after that, we have seen that the secondary options in
28:21Vegas I think have a little bit of talent, but the usage has been a little bit all over
28:25the place, so I don't know how much we trust there.
28:27And now, Kansas City against San Francisco, honestly, there's probably better options
28:32than Mahomes this week.
28:33There just are.
28:35And I would probably say ditto for Brock Purdy.
28:39At running back, it is a bit of a jumbled mess in San Francisco, and even if it wasn't,
28:43I don't know.
28:45If you've been starting Mason this whole time, and he is active, it's going to be
28:48tough to not play him because of the lack of depth at this position, but I just think
28:52Kansas City swallows him up in this game.
28:55For the Chiefs, again, Kareem Hunt.
28:58If you own him, you are playing him.
29:00I don't know if this is the week that P. Ryan gets a whole lot of value.
29:03And pass catcher-wise, out in San Fran, oh boy.
29:07Kansas City has done such a good job of shutting down the number one option on teams, and so
29:13it'll be interesting to see who they view as that number one option.
29:18So because of that, number twos have actually done really well against the Chiefs so far
29:22this year.
29:23Now, no team has a number two the way San Francisco does, whether it is IUK or Samuel,
29:27depending on which one you want to go with, but I do think one of them has a big game.
29:32It is just a matter of who.
29:33And I think Kittle, like Kansas City has had a bit of trouble against the tight end, so
29:36I think you can go with Kittle there as well.
29:37I mean, obviously, we're feeling confident in Kittle.
29:41That goes without saying, sorry.
29:42Pittsburgh against the Jets now.
29:44On Sunday night, Jets favored by a point and a half.
29:46The total is between 38 and a half and 40 and a half.
29:51Get ready for it, Tariko and Collinsworth, on Sunday night.
29:56Should be a fun game.
29:57An interesting game.
29:58A lot of storylines.
29:59Russell Wilson might be starting for Pittsburgh.
30:02Devontae Adams is now back with the New York Jets.
30:05I would imagine that Aaron Rodgers kind of spam feeds him the rock early here to get
30:11him going and get him kind of implemented in this offense, and to kind of show like,
30:15I made you guys go with my guy, so we're going to go with my guy.
30:20And Garrett Wilson, I think has, I think you kind of just have to roll with him anyway,
30:24depending on the league, of course, but I, Pittsburgh's defense is just so good.
30:30And this pass rush is just so good that I think it is going to give Aaron Rodgers and
30:35this team a few problems.
30:38And the Jets' offensive line have had some issues, obviously.
30:42So I think, I think Pittsburgh here is probably the play.
30:46And this is another one where we're going to take a little home underdog money line.
30:51We're just going to go Pittsburgh straight up as the underdog.
30:54Again, you're trying to give me two and a half points.
30:56I'm not going to take them.
30:57If that number gets to three, then maybe you, you know, but right now, Pittsburgh, plus
31:04the two and a half, whatever.
31:05We'll just take them to win.
31:06Just win, baby.
31:07That's where I'm at on that one.
31:09I just think Pittsburgh's defense is going to be the difference in this game, in limiting
31:13what Aaron Rodgers can do, and kind of making this team one-dimensional with what they can
31:17do in stopping the run as well.
31:19From a fantasy standpoint, there's not a whole lot, like, you've been waiting to
31:23serve Devonta Adams for weeks.
31:25There's no way you're not going to when he's active.
31:27Garrett Wilson has been strong for the last couple of weeks.
31:30Now maybe he doesn't get as much double coverage and all of that, so it would be tough
31:34to ignore that.
31:35Brees Hall, you kind of have to, but any secondary tertiary, like Alan Lazard, can just waver
31:40a wire.
31:41Same with Mike Williams.
31:42On the Pittsburgh side, Russell Wilson, there is no world where I am starting him.
31:46Najee Harris continues to really shine.
31:49Jalen Warren should be back, but I don't know how involved in the offense he is going
31:54to be, so there aren't a whole lot of options from a fantasy standpoint to take from this
31:59game.
32:00Doubleheader on Monday Night Football for no good goddamn reason.
32:02It is Baltimore, favored by 3.5 points over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with the total sitting
32:07right around 49, 49.5 right now.
32:11This is one where I get Tampa Bay is at home.
32:14I think we are back to taking Tampa Bay a little bit too seriously.
32:17I think that this is, this is certainly a Baltimore team that is more advanced than
32:24Tampa Bay is, and just a better football team right now.
32:30Really?
32:31No.
32:32The place that I go to generally has some line movement stuff, and there's not enough
32:36data.
32:37It's like, I don't know, man, it's fucking Friday.
32:39But anyway, I get it's just through that key number right now with Baltimore minus
32:473.5, but I just, I don't see how Tampa Bay's defense slows down Baltimore in this game.
32:55I think that the Ravens, the Ravens' defense has some holes, for sure.
32:58But I just think that this offense is really putting things together.
33:03And I heard a podcast, and I couldn't agree more.
33:06Their game against Buffalo, no team has looked that good this year.
33:10And so when Baltimore can put it all together, they can be the best team in the league.
33:13And so that world does not exist for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
33:17So we are going to go Baltimore minus 3.5, and we're going to hit over on that one as
33:23well at the 49.
33:26I feel pretty good about actually both of those right now.
33:29And then the last game, it is the Chargers taking on the Arizona Cardinals.
33:33One team.
33:34Oh, sorry, before we get into that, Fantasy.
33:38We will get this lined up one week, I promise.
33:41I'm just really looking at, honestly, I am just looking at, you can probably tell,
33:45I'm just looking at an odds board.
33:47And so it's just easy for me to go, okay, betting, on to the next thing.
33:50But no, Fantasy has to be involved in this as well.
33:53You're starting your Ravens.
33:55There's no secret here.
33:57This is probably not a Justice Hill week, because as I said, I don't think Tampa Bay
34:02will be able to keep up with Baltimore in this game, so I think that the Ravens will
34:05probably put on a pretty good show here, and not need to be passing the ball late to try
34:12to get any kind of comebacks, or anything like that.
34:16Derek Henry, let's see, do we have a, oh, rush plus reception, what do we have here?
34:2291 and a half, holy crap.
34:25That's a little high for me, to put any money on, like you could definitely do it,
34:28but that's a little high for me to make a pick on.
34:30But then yeah, Flowers, you're rolling with, I think you can feel confident with that.
34:35For Tampa Bay, I think you can start Baker this week against Baltimore, this defense
34:40has been giving up some Fantasy points, so you can go with that.
34:43The backfield is very murky right now.
34:45I think if you have Rashad White, Baltimore has not been great against the Runs so far
34:50this year, have they?
34:51So I think you kind of have to start it, but the Bucky Irvin and the Sean Tucker ones,
34:56I don't think you roll with that.
34:57And then, you know the pass catchers, Godwin, Evans, you have to.
35:00On to Monday night now, the last game of Monday night, and such a styles clash out in Arizona,
35:06where you have a Cardinals team that wants to run and gun, and you have a Chargers team
35:10that would just like to run.
35:13That is all they want to do.
35:15And they meet in Arizona.
35:16The Chargers are favored by a point and a half, with the total between 44 and 44.5.
35:24Such an interesting game, and because I feel like I have now decided to quit the Arizona
35:31Cardinals, obviously our little, not desperation, but speculative, that's the word I'm looking
35:39for, our little speculative play on Arizona to go for the division, that one seems to
35:46be out the window now, and even to make the playoffs get a little bit dicey, because Kyler
35:50has not looked great in the last little bit, and I keep wanting it to, but basically since
35:54I traded for him in fantasy, it has not gone great.
35:57And now Marvin Harrison Jr., concussion protocol can change very, very quickly, but it hasn't
36:02changed positively yet, so I just, I don't think they're going to have the weapons
36:08to be able to infiltrate what is a very good Chargers defense, and so I think the Chargers
36:15do get the job done in this game, and I think LAC gets it minus the one and a half, and
36:21I do think that they, because they do that, we get the under in 44 and a half as well.
36:27So those are our picks for every game across the National Football League.
