number four hundred and thirty two, the four hundred and
thirty second convening of the Stats over Beat Cipher, where
we help you win your leagues and win that cash,
all while we put the fund and functional sports content.
(01:23):
Here's what we're gonna get into as we go into
Divisional Round weekend. I call this the best weekend of
the entire NFL schedule, all right, because you've got two
games on Saturday, two games on Sunday. Unlike wild Card weekend,
though you got the big boys. We got the one
and the two seeds obviously in both conferences will get
their playoff push underway this weekend, right, So we'll see
(01:46):
the Ravens, will see the Chiefs, We'll see the Niners,
will see the Packers at home this weekend. And then
you know, championship games are the biggest games, right, But
it's only Sunday here. I still get two days of
what I think is absolutely hopefully going to be championship
quality football, So we'll get into that. What we will
do this show. I'll give you my previews and picks
(02:08):
for all four games. We'll talk about DFS values and
nuggets to help you win a little bit of cache
if you still want to play DFS in this weekend.
And then, as you know, if you are real deal
stats over beat Cipher. We're doing Speeds versus the kids,
and listen, I've got a lot of groom to make
up against like these five year olds. Okay, so we'll
(02:29):
put a little bit of fun and functional sports content
a little bit later on in the show. The kids
have made their picks for divisional rounds, and we got
some great handicapping and analysis to get into. I want
to tell you guys a couple of things real quick
in this segment and put them out there in the
chat room. Are people on YouTube that are watching right now,
Stats over beat Cipher, I got a couple of questions
(02:49):
for you. You may have heard this story. It was
big on this network and in the kind of DFS
community earlier on in the week. Um, you may be
familiar with the reality show The Bachelor. Well, this woman
who was either a Bachelor or you know, one of
the candidates in The Bachelor who wound up, you know,
marrying some dude. Yeah, well she won the Milliemaker, uh
(03:10):
last week. All right, and here's what happened. Her name
is Jade Roper Talbert. But her husband, Hanner Talbert, he
actually plays DFS. And then it came you know, Draft
Kicks did some investigation and it seems like there's a
little collusion going on. Maybe they each put in a
hundred fifty line ups each kind to make sure to
have coverage, and what do you know, bang she SILMILLI maker.
(03:33):
Now my thing is not if they were doing this
or not. Of course they were doing this. My thing
is I ain't I ain't got no problem with it,
all right. I think like quite frankly, this is smart
to have a syndicate, have a conglomerate. I'm not worth
worried about it. In fact, everyone in the chat room,
whoever follows me at spittin speeds, let's do this together.
(03:55):
Let's round up some money, let's figure out where we
want to kind of allocate those re sources, what kind
of coverage we want, and uh, we'll take it from there.
I'm completely okay with this. Let me know in the
chat room if you are as well. And then also
this morning, as you know, I do every morning here
seven or nine am here on the Sports Grid network
and make it rain with my main man, Joe RONNERI.
And when he was talking this morning, I thought it
(04:17):
was interesting, you know this idea that listen, Tom Brady
put out this Instagram post right saying that he still
had a lot to prove. Okay, and so everyone means, oh,
he's coming back, what's he gonna do you know all
this stuff. I gotta tell you something. If you read
the rest of that like post, it looks like a
farewell letter that someone would take out like a full
page ad in the newspaper when they actually retired, to
(04:37):
say like he wanted to thank everybody. You know, he's
reflective on his entire career. There like of that letter
sounded like a man that was walking away. Uh. And
then there was just the one line like yeah, but
I've got more left to prove. So it makes a
lot of people wonder is he gonna come back to
the Patriots? Might he go somewhere else? Remember the Patriots
(05:00):
move on from you a year beforehand, not a year after.
He will be a free agent, right. We've heard some
talk about other teams. Of course, other teams might want
Tom Brady, even though I think he is a shell
of his former self. But check this out. There's odds
already on teams not named the New England Patriots where
Tom Brady TV twelve Maybe next year and check this out.
(05:22):
The big favorite, big favorite up the unicorn is listening.
The big favorite at two to one is the Los
Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are now two to one to
have Tom Brady playing for them next year. Okay, this
is what the Patriots off the board. Okay, two to
one Chargers, then three teams at seven oh one. They
are the Las Vegas Raiders, the Dallas Cowboys, and the
(05:45):
Indianapolis culture. Remember we've been talking about guys like Jacoby
Brissette and if he is long for that role, same
thing with car We're here and now that Gruden is
saying maybe he doesn't really you know, want to go
into this new arena with a quarterback. Could he be
in the market as a chair at the merry go
round on as the music stops. And then you know
Dallas obviously, you know Jerry Jones always down make a
little thing? Does McCarthy like Dak still got to find out.
(06:08):
There's some other ones like Tampa Bay at nine o one,
which I think is interesting. I think it's interesting that
there's no New England. And I also think it's interesting
that you don't have odds and things like will he
be with you know, like CBS or ESPN or NFL network,
because I think that's viable. And also what about what
about coaching? I need to do that? So I think
there may be some other options when he says he
(06:28):
has things left to prove. Maybe it's not as a quarterback.
Maybe it's not in the way you would think. And
here's what I say. The reason I think Brady is
kind of hemming and hawing on this and sending mixed
messages in the letter. Because I've said it before, I'll
say it right now. I think Josh McDaniels is the
first domino to drop. If McDaniels does in fact take
the Cleveland Brown's job and he's interviewing for it tomorrow,
(06:48):
all right, then does Brady really want to come back
to New England at age forty two or whatever it
is and breaking a new O C. I mean, I
know he would have a new o C where he
went somewhere else, but that would be like kind of
a different challenge as his son sets the career. You know.
So I do think that is interesting in the chat
room right now, if you're real deal status would beat Cipher.
(07:09):
And I see some of the crew is in there.
We got Druth. He knows I don't just give you
a fish, I teach you how to fish. Mendel, Bruce
Francisco g in the building. Um so yeah, alright, uh yeah,
I'm with you, Francisco G. Let's do it. Let's do it,
let's figure it out, okay, and you'll put in some lineups,
I'll put it in others. And well, you know, me
(07:29):
and my boys, we used to go into like Atlantic City,
the same kind of sit and go poker tournaments, like
a two table tournament, be like eight teen players. Me
and my boys would be like four of us. We'd
all enter the same tournament, and we just promised we
wouldn't bluff each other, we wouldn't try and go all
in against each other. It's the same theory I'm with
if Francisco G. S Henry Henderson back in the chat
right now. All right, so when we come back episode
(07:51):
four thirty two with the Fantasy Freestyle right here on
Sports Grade, we cover the injuries for the team's playing
this weekend, and I give you my game by game breakdown.
We do dfs and then the kids gotta make their
picks as well. Come on back, yahpa, come on, you
know what it is. Daily dealy to the crew, Fantasy

The Fantasy Freestyle, where the stats over Beat Cipher convenes
twice week here on Sports Grid to win their leagues
(08:56):
and win that cast. My man Francisco, g's all about it.
Let's get this money. I know what's up, all right,
So maybe we'll have to do this. By the way,
my guys Frank Stanfield and Greg Sussman, they got a
BFS tournament on a fan duel. I'm up in it.
You can be as well if you're interested. Let me know.
Maybe I'll get these BFFs to send you to link. Um.
So let's look at some of these injuries, all right,
(09:17):
we'll go team by team. Okay, for Seattle, they're relatively healthy.
Drawn Brown their wide receiver, but he's like their third
or fourth wide receiver. He was limited with a knee injury.
Otherwise they seem pretty clean. Remember Clowney came back. They're
working to Travis Homer, Marshawn Lynch, Combo. Jern Brown really
the only one I saw as far the skill positions.
If you look at Houston Texans, Okay, they're wide outs
(09:38):
are interesting as well. Um Fuller with the groin a
little bit back Stills as well. Both of these guys
are limited. I think this is really interesting. Uh, Stills
and Fuller have a gap of only a hundred dollars
between them and DFS at least on FanDuel this week. Okay,
so watch these guys practice reports tomorrow, um, because if
(10:00):
one of them can't go, then the other one is
a great value, all right at their mid five thousand
price point. Remember against this Kansas City Chiefs past defense
and where many people believe points will be scored. I
think that's the highest total on the board this week.
In Minnesota, you got wide receiver issues. Yes, Stefon Diggs,
you Digserch came back to practice. They said he was sick.
(10:20):
No problem, he's back. He'll be fine. He'll be out there.
Adam Feeling though, I got a feeling. I had a
feeling about him last week. He was in my DFS lineup.
I gave you prop bets about him. He went like
seven for one sixty. But apparently he got a really
bad gash um on the ankle and they are proceeding
with caution about this, so he may profile to be
a little bit more dangerous. So check out what happens
(10:41):
with feeling Um tomorrow and practice. If we look at Tennessee, um,
they still will not have Adam Humphreyes their slot receiver.
He's got the ankle injury. Still hasn't really practiced a
Dory Jackson though, returned to practice, and I think that's
interesting that he's the cornerback been battling a foot injury.
They may need him, um, you know against Baltimore on
(11:01):
Saturday Night. Guys like Smoke Brown, uh, Willie Snead as well.
In San Francisco, they're getting healthy. Remember they had that
bye week, Kwan Alexander de Ford. Gotta keep an eye
out on them. They may be returning in Green Bay.
It's blogga, I told you the pro Bowl tackle was
in the concussion protocol. Gotta get a check in on that.
And Jamal Williams was back at practice, full participate at
(11:25):
practice with a shoulder injury. He should be good to
go in Baltimore. These are the big ones, guys, all right.
Baltimore is really the one where I think you have
absolute key pieces that maybe legit questionable or maybe not
even able to go. And the first one is mark
Ingram running back. Mark Ingram with that calf injury has
now been officially listed as questionable. This is a legit injury, guys, right, um,
(11:48):
this is one that they don't want to rush. This
is one that has the Remember we saw Kevin Durant,
We've seen other people with calf injuries that they try
to come back a little too soon and watch what happens. Right.
Mark Andrews also tight end from them the second year
tight end. It's been a revelation tight end for overall.
I believe in fantasy this year he's got an ankle injury. Okay,
(12:09):
he's also legitimately questionable. These guys are banged up. These
Ravens coming in on Saturday night, and remember with the
weather and you know the kind of style of fight.
This could be interesting. Um, I'll tell you what I
think about that in a couple of minutes. Kansas City.
Travis Kelsey is limited, but he's gonna go. They're not.
There's no way Travis Kelsey doesn't go. And those are
guys that I'd be watching for the practice reports as
they come out tomorrow to see which way they are trending.
(12:33):
All right, So listen, there are going to be some
repeating themes here, all right. In my and when I
tore through these games, you have a team that won
last week, and I think the million dollar question is
will they be able to do it again? Will the Titans,
the Vikings, you know, the Texans Seahawks, will they be
(12:56):
able to do what they did last week in order
to win? And then you know, even as we get
to speeds verse the kids, kids, we'll give you their
thoughts and if they're gonna ride the same trains as
last week. Remember I talked about the child psychology of
it all. I said I still had an open door,
and boy did those kids deliver for me. But any
of the first game I want to talk about, let's
(13:17):
talk about Houston in Kansas City. So for example, remember
when Houston had the great uh stops in the first
half to not let Buffalo get away, and it was like, oh,
but the Bills were getting fuel goals instead of touchdowns,
and how key that was that it was only sixteen
nothing that the Bills were never able to punch it
into the end zone. So I asked you, are they
(13:37):
gonna be able to hold Patty Mahomes to field goals
and not touchdowns? M h, I don't know, right. And
here's the other thing. Deshaun Watson superman. Right. I've been
saying for months now the status will beats. Cipher will
tell you there are three men in the a f
C who I think all bets are off and if
they make plays, their team wins. Patrick Mahomes, Mar Jack's
(14:00):
In and Deshaun Watson. And boy did he prove that
in wild Card weekend? Right? He was an absolute superman.
I mean not only the two forty seven the touchdown,
but the fifty five yards rushing the touchdown, getting out
of pressure, making the game winning play. And I've said
it all year, Watson is one of those men that
you can make plays, he can lead his team to victory.
(14:21):
Here's my problem, even against Buffalo, Deshaun Watson was sacked
seven times with a defense Buffalo who was not They
didn't get a lot of sacks all year. Okay, the
sacking the quarterback was not what they did. Now you
come with Kansas City, and I'm really worried that if
(14:41):
Kansas City gets out to a lead and their defense,
who you know, I've been on recently as dramatically improving
the honey Badgers or else slugs. Now, even if they
have the ability to pin their ears back, I think
it could be a problem for Deshaun Watson. This. This
Chief's defense has given up ten points a game over
the last month and a half. All Right, I'm worried
(15:02):
with Deshaun Watson. I'm even worried that Deshaun Watson starts
this game but maybe doesn't finish it. That's my problem
with this. I also think and Andy Reid is amazing
off the bye. We've talked about this a lot of times.
I like Kansas City. If you're looking at this right now,
the spread is nine and a half with a lot
of these and and one thing I want to mention,
(15:22):
we gave it out this morning and make it rain
in this round. Favorites, the bye teams, the home teams.
They win the game outright around two thirds of the time,
this going back to last ten years, but they cover
the spread only about a third of the time, So
what a lot of times like So what that tells
(15:42):
me is there's gonna be one outright upset in here
somewhere you just gotta pick it. And what it tells
me is that there's gonna be teams in here that
win the game but don't cover, all right. And I
can see that happening with two of these games, and
this is one of them. I think the Kansas City
Chiefs win this game, and I kind of think it
could be comfortably, But with nine and a half as
(16:05):
you're spread, I don't know that they cover that. I
don't know that they win by double digits. Back door
could be open for Deshaun Watson or whoever the quarterback is. Um.
But I do like Kansas City to win the game,
all right. So I want Kansas City. My picks for
Speeds versus the kids will be because we do that,
straight up, will be the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. Um,
And I think they win. I don't know if I'm
(16:25):
gonna lay the nine and a half, so I'd be
a little bit scared of that. I'll tell you how
I'll do, and I can get Kansas City into something
even odds. A little bit later on, I may do
a little three team money line par lay um and
show you how we do that. Okay, but I'm on
Kansas City to win this game, but I would take
the points in this next game in the a f C.
(16:45):
Similarly what we talked about with Houston. For Tennessee, it
was huge that they got the goal line stand against
New England at the end of the second quarter. You
remember that to make a thirteen seven not sixteen seven.
Then at halftime it became fourteen thirteen. And they do
that against the Bolts More Ravens and this rushing offense
and this team that was the best offense in the
NFL all year. I don't know, right, Derrick Henry provides
(17:07):
them balance, right, um, So they didn't need the play action,
they didn't need the deep shots with A. J. Brown
and Derrick Henry. I think in what is gonna be
raining ass, punch you in the mouth kind of style,
I think Tennessee has a shot live against the Baltimore
Ravens and and here's the thing, what about Ingram Is
(17:29):
Gus Edwards gonna be able to dominate, keep keep Tian
Tannehill and Henry off the field. I don't know is
Lamar does Lamar risk at all now? And by risk
at all, I mean put himself out there, get hit
a little bit more, not slide, not run out of
balance because of the playoffs. I love Lamar, He's the
m v P of the league. But something feels fishy
(17:50):
about this one to me. I think the way Tennessee
can control the ball with the clock and the run,
I don't think Tennessee wins out right, but I think
this is a kind of slugfest. I think this is
a one score game. And so again I will take
the home team, but I will not lay the points,
all right. So when the a f C, I like
(18:11):
Casey to win, but not laying the points. I like
Baltimore to win, but not laying the points, all right.
So here's what we're gonna do. On the other side
of the break. We'll look at the NFC game see
if the trends continues. Will these teams that one last
week be able to do the same thing establish their identity.
This week, come on back episode four thirty two of

When it's the wintertime and I see golf, you know
what I think, people who know me know this, Danny,
I call golf in the wintertime, I call it weather
porn Danny, because Yo, it's like what thirty five thirty
(20:28):
three degrees out here in New York today, right it
is officially thirty two, right, alright, alright, thirty two. And
then but if you watch a golf tournament right like
right now, would be like in Hawaii. You know, it's
some nice place where it's beautiful out You see the
beach in the water and the lutch grass and the sun,
and we're over here having like seasonal effect of disorder.
(20:48):
You know what I mean, so I call it weather porn.
What do you think, Danny? I absolutely agree with this, right, absolutely,
all right, So here we go. And by the way
in the chat room, big shout out to Mr Morales
over there, Okay, you know who you are. And um,
also Scott, and that is a great question everyone's talking about,
like where Bradio go? But then what does that mean
for New England? Right if that move were to happen.
(21:09):
I've been saying it is a very interesting market place.
So Scott and anybody else was tuning in the week
in between the championship games and the Super Bowl where
there's no week of football. What I'm planning to do
is dedicate almost the whole show to profiling all the
quarterbacks who there have been buzz about maybe going to
a different address. And there's like ten or twelve of them.
(21:29):
And the way we gotta do it, for Scott and
and others is first like who might be on the move, right,
because then that creates where the open chairs are when
the music stops, and then we gotta see and like
play the matching game. All right, So Scott and We're
gonna do that for sure. Um, We're gonna do it
when there's not, you know, playoff football games on the horizon,
(21:50):
strong style in the building, Henry Henderson in the building
as well. We've covered the a f C games wherein
both of them, I like the home team. I like
the buy team to win, but I would not lay
the points in either game. I like Tennessee plus the points.
I like Houston plus the points. I think the back
door is open for the Texans, even though that Casey
defense has been getting much better. All right, Uh, Minnesota
(22:13):
san Francisco first NFC game. So here's the thing, same theory.
Minnesota last week had that balance with Dalvin Cook, right,
Dalvin Cook twenty carries ninety four yards, Madison five carries.
That's thirty three carries between them for a hundred fourteen yards.
That's the balance we're talking about. Can they do that
up against the San Francisco front? I don't know. And
(22:36):
here's the thing. The way you beat Minnesota vikings Also,
I think San Francisco can do it. They have so
much you know, the fantasy herd. You know this ain't
like Minnesota's not gonna have to stop Michael Thomas this week.
All right, They're gonna have to stop Mammy Sanders and
Deebo Samuel and George Kittle and Brita and most Start
and Coleman, and I think the forty nine has come
(22:58):
at you in waves and so many different ways and
schemed so differently that it is a far different challenge. Also,
we know the Minnesota Vikings. I believe their defense plays
a lot better at home than they do on the road.
They did get it done pretty well last week. They
were indoors and familiar indoor territory in the Dorman, New Orleans,
like they usually are. This is a different animal in
(23:19):
my opinion. Another thing, you know, I talk about things
like the flight and the rest and all that they
played on Sunday one o'clock and they're playing the first
game on Saturday, Minnesota. This is a rest disparity against Minnesota.
I like San Francisco. I think they gave Shanahan time
to scheme. I think not only San Francisco. I can
(23:40):
see them pulling away and covering this number. I like
San Francisco at this point. I got San Franz in
the Super Bowl. UM, although I am holding a Green
Bay Packers when the NFC ticket, so hey mad at that, UM,
But I think San Francisco wins, and if this is
seven or less, I think they can cover the number.
I'd see it right at seven right now, at least
that a partners on FanDuel the spread is seven, all right,
(24:02):
So if it gets the six and a half, I
would I would lay the points. If it goes seven
and a half, that hook would scare me. But I
do think my pick for speeds verse the kids is
the San Francisco forty niners and then Philly. Seattle excuse me, um, Seattle,
green Bay, excuse me, Seattle, Green Bay. This is the
one where I'm may be different than everybody. I love
green Bay. In this game. The public is all over
(24:25):
Seattle and they're like, yeah, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson.
Here's the thing. Okay, you can run a little on
green Bay. Throwing is a lot tougher. And I don't
know that they're gonna be able to run with Homer
and Lynch, and I don't know that DK metcalf is
gonna be able to go off like he did last week.
The Philadelphia Eagles past defense is blunt, guts trash. We
(24:45):
know that not the case with Jairo Alexander, Adrian Amos,
and then boys, I said it going into Week one.
Remember the name Adrian Amos and you gotta pick in
the opener the NFL season against the Bears, his former team.
I'm saying it, and remember their names, Jaire, Alexander and
Adrian Amos. I think they helped to suppress, you know,
(25:06):
the Locket Metcalf Russell Wilson passing game that they've had
to morph into because of the injuries. And I think
they struggle. I really do think they struggle. And then
I think they can get heat on Russell Wilson because
that old line is still not great to protect Russ. Okay,
so the other names you need to know. These Smith
guys that we've been talking about getting real good there
on the Packers front, Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith. It's
(25:30):
gonna be those four guys on the defense. Everyone wants
to talk about Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson and that's
all while in Dandy and I do think this goes
over the number. But uh, I like green Bay. I
like green Bay win, and I like them to cover.
So what does that mean for DFS, Danny? What does
that mean for dfs. Alright, so my picks, I am,
in fact picking the chalk. I know it's so chucky,
(25:54):
but uh, you know, you'll see when the kids make
their picks what I gotta do to make up some Hey,
all right, but two of them I like laying the
points as well against the spread. Those are San Francisco
and Green Bay. I would take the points in the
a f C with the dogs. How does this relate
to uh dfs? So here's what I'm saying. Let's start
(26:15):
with the running backs. Okay, I got one expensive running
back I like, and I got a cheap running back
that I like. All right, Uh, at the top of
the food chain, everybody is gonna be on Derrick Henry
this week, right because of what he did last week,
what he's done for the last oh, I don't know,
month and a half. And he is the deserving most
expensive running back on FanDuel at nine hundred. I'm not
(26:36):
paying nine hundred. I will, however, pay eighty two hundred
for Aaron Jones. Okay, Aaron Jones had sixteen rushing touchdowns
this season nineteen total touchdowns. Let the NFL in rushing
touchdowns with sixteen. What I'll also tell you is that
Seattle is one of the worst defenses left in the playoffs.
I think they are the second worst defense by d
(26:56):
v o A left in the playoffs in the league.
I think they're gonna be able to run the ball. Okay,
I think Aaron Jones is going to run the ball.
I think this Packers offense gets concentrated on Sunday and listen,
you're looking for touchdown equity when you're in the tournaments
like this, right, and I'm gonna take the guy with
the must rushing touchdowns in the NFL, and I'm gonna
(27:17):
take it against a bottom ten defense. Give me Aaron
Jones at two hundred. I'll also go with Gus Edwards
at this mark Ingram thing scares me. Guys, the pivot
is to Gus Edwards. Even if Ingram is playing and active,
I'll still go to Gus Edwards. I think Gus Edwards
still gets carries. I think um Ingram does not get
his full compliment. And you know they can run the
ball with anybody. So give me Gus Edwards at hundred.
(27:39):
I like some wide receivers. I'm going right back to
Green Bay. Give me Davonte Adams, that Seahawks defense is
in the NFL against the pass. I think this is
not gonna be Jimmy Graham, Jamal Williams Lazard. I think
they're gonna know where their bread is buttered. And it's
Aaron Jones and it's Davante Adams, and I want all
the shares I can of those two guys. Give me
(28:00):
Deebo Samuel as well. At I want a piece of
this San fran offense. I think I told you, I
think they win this game going away. I can see
it's something like thirty seven twenty three. I think San
Fran is gonna put up points. And I think with
Kyle Shanahan scheming for an extra week, a guy like
Deebo Samuel, who was the proverbial Swiss Army knife for
(28:22):
that team, they use them in the backfield, they use
them on end the rounds, they use them in all
sorts of ways. I think he will It's almost like
a Taysom Hill scenario, all right, and I think he
will be viable as sixty one hundred. I think he
can make a big play the other wide receiver that
I'm gonna like, and I'm surprised he's this cheap, but
I'll take Hollywood Brown to Baltimore at Remember, this is
(28:42):
touchdown equity, and I'm gonna try and stack this. And
obviously this is subject to change if mark Ingram is
out there, right. But I think they're gonna have to
go over the top a little bit. I really do. Um.
I don't think they're gonna just be able to run
the ball down Tennessee. I think Tennessee is rating for it.
I think they're gonna force Lamar to try to beat
them in the rain in his first playoffs start. I
(29:05):
think they're going to try and force him with the
past if they do. You know, and Andrews is banged up.
This is Hollywood Brown if I can get him at
fifty three hundred, UM in it at flex. Like I said, guys, um,
look at Kenny Stills and Will Fuller. Stills is at
fifty undred full or at fifty six hundred. Look at
the injury reports on them. If one of them is
in and the other is out, I like them to
pop off at kit at tight end, give me George Kittle.
(29:26):
A lot of people will be on Kelsey. I'll take
the second best option at Kitt'll forget Remember I want
shares of the San Francisco forty Niners this week. I
want San fran I want Green Bay. Remember these are
the two teams I'm picking and laying the point. So
I have some forty Niners and the Packers. UM. I
wanted to Kansas City Defense. You know I've been on
them and they've been improving. But instead I couldn't afford them. So, uh,
(29:49):
I think I dropped down when I dropped to UM.
I dropped down too, right. I go to the oh
to the Titans, to the Titans at thirty nine hundred,
I couldn't afford for the Chiefs. I'll take the Titans, now, listen,
I I just I gotta. I got a weird I
got a weird feeling, all right, And I know that's
gut handicapping. We don't like the narratives here, but you know,
(30:12):
Tennessee is so live. They really really are. UM and
then at a quarterback for me, I was like, I
got some money, give me lamar. You know it wasn't
more scientific than that. That's my lineup. Uh. If you
want to get down in this BF contest, hit me
up on Twitter at spitting speeds. What we'll do. On
the other side of the break, Danny, we will check
the pole question and then you know what time it is, Danny,
(30:34):
it is time for speeds versus the kids. Remember, Danny,
we got some ground to make up on Monday, I said,
I thought we could because I thought these kids are
just gonna repeat pick the same names of teams because
they remember it. If you're five years old, you go
with what you know. Let's see how that one played
out on the other side of the break this episode
four thirty two, Dane and Danny needs some ground to
(30:54):
make up. Let's hear what the kids think. You know
what I think. Let's hear what these kids think for
divisional weekend. Come on back on the other side of
the break, Dailly, Dilly didn't grow want to light the
lamp on Draft Kings and FanDuel this NHL DFS season.

STID episode four thirty two, Fantasy Freestyle with the stats
over beats Cipher. We in the chat room right now,
no big ups, m off home people, Perry ing strong style,
joining a little bit late, better late than never, real
deal stats over beats Cipher. And then you know, listen,
people are talking about Derry Henry in the chat room
and like where will he go? For a guy like Henry,
(32:05):
who is, by the way, a free agent, so much
of it matters, like where is he? What team does
he wind up with? What is the scheme of that team?
How would he be utilized? Would he be part of
a committee or not? Right? And here's what I'll say,
because you've got people in the chat room saying, now
he might be a second round pick. He is the
NFL rushing leader. Okay, I understand that. The one word
(32:27):
of caution I give you is know your settings. Okay.
Derrick Henry is the kind of back that has a
lot more value in standard leagues than in PPR leagues.
He don't get PPR. He don't get receptions, right, so
some of these other PPR backs make up that in
receptions than the rushing total that Derrick Henry is. Okay,
So Derrick Henry in standard leagues moll about it. In
(32:50):
PPR leagues, I would actually look to get that production elsewhere,
but again it depends on where he is. All Right,
Danny speeds verse the kids. You and I. You know
we defflicated the matress last week, Danny, all right, and
we will get your picks at the very end, okay, Danny,
Or do you want to give me your picks now? No,
we can. I can go with you go at the
end of Just to be honest, Danny, and I ain't
(33:12):
trying to, like, you know, make fun of you. No
one's here to listen to your picks. They want to
hear the kids, you know what I mean. All right,
So let's start with Jasmine, Danny. Let's start with Jasmine.
Jasmine six years old. Jasmine went one in three last week,
all right, And remember I was like, oh, but they
know some things. Remember Jasmine picked the Eagles because she
said her dad likes the Eagles. Her dad is certainly
a Giants fan. So let's see though you know, Jasmine
(33:36):
one with the Vikings last week. Okay, she went one
in three. The Vikings were her one win. So let's see,
was she picking in the Vikings Niners, the Minnesota Vikings
and the San Francisco forty Niners because last time? Okay,
(33:59):
there you go. Okay, so did you hear that, Danny,
she's sticking with the Vikings because last time she beat Mr. Speeds.
So my my hypothesis that the kids are gonna ride
with their teams so far as good. And that's why
I'm picking, not why I like San Francisco. But see, Danny,
(34:19):
that gives us an opening. All right, Um, Danny, Jasmine
can we she she wants to. She's gonna do two things.
She's either gonna ride with her teams or she's gonna
try to take pits and pieces from Daddy. And check
this out, Uh, check out Jasmine's pick for Ravens Titans
go ahead and the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens
(34:48):
not the same team? Why Daddy said it? Okay, See,
so she's she's aware, you know, she's picking up things
that ADDIE's saying. Interesting, the same thing holds true, Danny,
when she picks Packers, Seahawks, check it out, the Seattle
Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers. She's listening the Packers. Okay,
(35:12):
how come? Daddy says, all right, all right, So Danny,
what do you think about Jasmine's approach? She's going with
whoever she had that beat Mr Speed's last time and
whatever she overhears from Daddy, what do you think? I
think it's getting dangerous because some of them are picks
that I think you and I would be right, right,
(35:34):
But remember Jasmine went one in three, so she's only
one game up on us, right, right, So we got
enough differences, Like I'm I'm taking San Francis, taking Minnesota,
I'm taking Kansas City. She's taking the Texans. So I
can get a working margin on her. I can hop,
we can hop Jasmine. Yeah, all right, so Jasmine one
in three? We love Jasmine. Pick ups the Jasmine um
(35:57):
and I like how she threw in Mr. Speeds. What
do you think about that? Like, I'm not Dane, I'm
not Speeds, I'm Mr Speeds. What do you think about that? Hey?
I mean you earned the title, Thank you, thank you.
All right, let's go to our next kid, our next kid,
Danny's gonna be Casper. Gappy Casper. He's four, He's a
four year old. Okay, he went two and two. He
(36:20):
went two and two. And let me tell you something,
Gasp has taken the opposite approach. Check this out. Okay, Um,
he he picked the Saints last week Vikings beat him.
He's gonna ride with the Vikings. But check out his rationale.
Check out Casper for Vikings Niners, go ahead, I will
(36:42):
kick the Vikings. Vikings, why are you, sir? Because he's
never seen them before, Danny, except for the fact that
he saw them last week when he picked the Saints
(37:03):
against them. So what do you think about this? And
he claims he's never seen them before or never heard
of them before. Check this out. Check out his Chiefs
Texans pick also, Danny, go ahead? Why the Chiefs? Why
the Kansas City Chiefs because he's never heard of them before, Danny.
(37:23):
So Casper is going opposite of what I thought these
other kids were gonna do. Danny. He's picking teams that
he says he's never heard before. What do you think
about that? I think he's dangerous because he's two and two.
He's two and two and the Ravens. I'm worried about
the Chiefs. I'm picking them too, right, So the only
way we can make up ground on four year old
(37:43):
Casper is because he's going with the Vikings. So we're
going to San France. We can make up there, and
he's going with the Seahawks. We're going with Green Bay,
so we can make up two on Casper. But that
would only pull even Check this out though, you know
he's a worldly kid, Casper. All right, Danny, check out
his rationale for picking the Baltimore Ravens. Go ahead, Tennessee
(38:09):
Titans first, Baltimore Ravens. He's quick. He wants the Ravens
right away. I why why do you pick the Baltimore Ravens.
(38:29):
They're so good? That's what? Okay, So, Danny, he said
they're so good at soccer. Do you think he meant football?
Do you think he just meant football? I'm guessing, all right,
I'm hoping. So Casper is locked in. Casper went two
and two last week. And Casper's going Vikings because he's
never seen them before, Ravens because they're good at soccer,
(38:52):
the Chiefs because he's never heard of them. And he's
going with the Seahawks as well, so we gotta make
up some ground on Casper. But now here's the problem, Danny.
There were two lovely young ladies last week who went
three and one with their picks. Okay, we're three again
because you know we were blunt, guts trash last week, Danny,
we got squad douche at Scott. Can you believe that
(39:14):
I went o n four straight up? Last week? I
had Buffalo, Yeah, I had Buffalo, New England, uh, the Saints,
and then I went Philly straight up. I was oh
in four straight up. I had Buffalo plus three and
a half. So against the spread, I get that I
had Tennessee with the points. So like, my bank account
is fine, but I can't make these kids pick against
(39:36):
the spread, so I'm picking straight up. I went oh
in four. So so, Danny, there are two lovely young
ladies who went three and one. Last week. Eight year
old Mickayla went three and one. She went Texans Titans.
She lost with the Saints, and then she went to Seahawks.
My theory or that his child psychology my theory, or
that these kids are just gonna remember the same words
(39:57):
over again and it's gonna be a trigger. So I
sitting pretty were like the Ravens and the Chiefs. Right,
check this one out, Danny. Check what did Michaela say? Uh,
Texans Chiefs make her pick? Why again? Why? See that?
She said, I want the Houston Texans again. I'm sticking
(40:22):
with them. Bang give me the Chiefs all day. That's
how we make up ground on Michaela. And and what
is she doing for Seahawks? Packers? Go ahead, play michael
sea Hawks? Pick sea Hawks again? See that Seahawks again.
Then her grandmother says, if it ain't broke, and Michaela says,
don't fix it. I like this. Now here's the only problem, Danny, Michaela.
(40:48):
Just so you know, Michaela is the Unicorn's niece, right,
She's gonna be my niece. Uh in law? I guess
in like two months or in a month or in
fifty two days or whatever it is. The website says,
the problem is Annie, her mom, Michaela's mom. Danny went
to Johns Hopkins. Okay, So the only thing that can
(41:10):
make her not repeat pick is riding with like her
mom's alma mater. And that's where it plays in. Give
us her Ravens Titans pick. Go ahead, want the Ravens
because that's where her mom went to college, Baltimore. Ain't
that a bitch? Danny? How are you gonna make up
(41:31):
ground on Michaela when she likes the Ravens because her
mom went to f and Johns Hopkins. I know there's
nothing we can do, all right, So MICHAELA is going Vikings, Ravens, Texans,
and Seahawks. The only one that you know, we kind
of agree with our the Ravens. So if San Fran wins,
(41:53):
if the Chiefs win, and if the Packers win, Danny,
we make up three games on Michaela. So it's possible.
Let's go to Cora. Let's go to Cora because we
don't have a ton of time here. Cora, our man,
Danny Lee from the undisclosed location. Remember this, Danny. Cora
went three and one. Remember Cora picked the Tennessee Titans outright,
and her mom reacted, Remember that one, Danny, Right, My
(42:16):
father is like, who do you like? Patriots of Titans?
She picks the Titans clear as day, and her mom
is like, what right, that's awesome. So let's see what
Cora wants to do. Uh, give me Cora's pick Vikings Niners.
Go ahead, okay, baby, which one do you like? Which?
Which one? Were you pointing to Coral in the Minnesota Vikings? Okay,
(42:40):
all right, why but she picked it last time? Bang
the child psychology holes true picked it last time. Okay.
Now let's go to her Titans Ravens pick. She's stick Ravens,
which one? Which one? Which one? This one? Okay? Do
you see Danny and he's like okay, He's like, what
(43:03):
do you mean you sure you want the Titans? Okay, Danny?
It seems like he was not like Danny. Like Danny,
Lee was skeptical a little bit there. What do you
think I mean? At least he's being fair? All right,
we're running short on time on disclosed location. Cora picks
the Seahawks again and then kind of tries to put
(43:24):
it in my eye. Check out how she does it
after she makes her Seahawks. But go ahead, you want
the Seattle Seahawks or the Green Bay Packers. You want
the Seahawks. Okay, I'm winning. She goes and tells me,
I think that's ridiculous. But we'll see what Cora has.
And we only got a couple of minutes left, so
(43:45):
we gotta go to the controversial Zoey Rose. Zoe is
one in three. Her dad has been manipulating this for
years as a Saints fan. But check this out, Danny.
Check out Zoe making a pick Vikings Niners. Ahead and
and see what her dad does. So really like you
know Ingrain the fandom of the Saints in here. Okay,
(44:07):
go ahead and check out the Vikings versus the San
Francisco Which one which ones? Oh? Why? Because they're better?
And the Vikings the team that just humiliated the Saint
They are the team that just humiliated the Saints, Dad,
(44:28):
And doesn't that make you want to hate them? What
do you think about that? Danny? He asked her for
his four year old daughter. Doesn't that make you want
to hate them instead of pick the Vikings? I think
he's uh, he's leading, leading, Yeah, leading, But check this out.
Check this out. Though. Zoe does have one firm prod nottication,
and it is about what what Scott was asking before,
(44:52):
what's up with Tom Brady? Let's see what Let's see
what Zoie Rose has to say about Tom Brady? Will
Tom Brady come back to the Patriots? Yeah? How do
you know that. She just knows. Oh just makes sense.
You're a How long have you been a team? She's
(45:14):
been eighteen for like a hundred years, she says. But
Zoe is going with Vikings Tennessee the Texans, but switching
to the Packers. So Danny, we got a shot. I'm
picking all the favorites. I'm chalky as hell because I
got ground to make up against these kids. Find out
on Monday if I do want to light the lamp

best weekend of the entire NFL schedule, all right, because
you've got two games on Saturday, two games on Sunday,
(46:18):
Unlike wild Card weekend, though, you got the big boys,
we got the one in the two seeds obviously in
both conferences will get their playoff push underway this weekend, right,
So we'll see the Ravens, we'll see the Chiefs, we'll
see the Niners, will see the Packers at home this weekend.
And then you know, championship games are the biggest games, right,
But it's only Sunday here. I still get two days
(46:38):
of what I think is absolutely hopefully going to be
championship quality football, So we'll get into that. What we
will do this show. I'll give you my previews and
picks for all four games. We'll talk about DFS values
and nuggets to help you win a little bit of
cache if you still want to play DFS in this weekend.
And then, as you know, if you are real deal stats,
over beat cipher. We're doing speeds versus the kids, and listen,
(47:02):
I've got a lot of groom to make up against
like these five year olds. Okay, so we'll put a
little bit of fun and functional sports content a little
bit later on in the show. The kids have made
their picks for divisional rounds, and we got some great
handicapping and analysis to get into. I want to tell
you guys a couple of things real quick in this
segment and put them out there in the chat room.
Are people on YouTube that are watching right now? Stats
(47:23):
over beat Cipher, I got a couple of questions for you.
You may have heard this story. It was big on
this network and in the kind of DFS community earlier
on in the week. Um, you may be familiar with
the reality show The Bachelor. Well, this woman who was
either a bachelorette or you know, one of the candidates
in The Bachelor who wound up you know, marrying some dude. Yeah,
well she won the millie Maker. Uh last week, all right,
(47:46):
and here's what happened. Her name is Jade Roper Talbert.
But her husband, Tanner Talbert, he actually plays DFS. And
then it came, you know, Draft Kicks did some investigation
and it seems like there's a little collusion going on.
Maybe they each put in a hundred fifty each kind
of make sure to have coverage, and what do you know, Bang,
she HiT's the Milliemaker. Now, my thing is not if
(48:10):
they were doing this or not. Of course they were
doing this. My thing is I ain'ty I ain't got
no problem with it all right. I think like quite frankly,
this is smart to have a syndicate, have a conglomerate.
I'm not worth worried about it. In fact, everyone in
the chat room, whoever follows me at spintin Speeds, let's
do this together. Let's round up some money, let's figure
out where we want to kind of allocate those resources,
(48:30):
what kind of coverage we want, and uh, we'll take
it from there. I'm completely okay with this. Let me
know in the chat room if you are as well.
And then also this morning, as you know, I do
every morning here seven or nine am here on the
Sports Grid Network on Making Rain with my main man,
Joe ROUNERI. And when he was talking this morning, I
thought it was interesting, you know this idea that listen.
Tom Brady put out this Instagram post right saying that
(48:52):
he still had a lot to prove

(01:23):
Here's what we're gonna get into as we go into
Divisional Round weekend. I call this the best weekend of
the entire NFL schedule, all right, because you've got two
games on Saturday, two games on Sunday. Unlike wild Card weekend,
though you got the big boys. We got the one
and the two seeds obviously in both conferences will get
their playoff push underway this weekend, right, So we'll see
(01:46):
the Ravens, will see the Chiefs, We'll see the Niners,
will see the Packers at home this weekend. And then
you know, championship games are the biggest games, right, But
it's only Sunday here. I still get two days of
what I think is absolutely hopefully going to be championship
quality football, So we'll get into that. What we will
do this show. I'll give you my previews and picks
(02:08):
for all four games. We'll talk about DFS values and
nuggets to help you win a little bit of cache
if you still want to play DFS in this weekend.
And then, as you know, if you are real deal
stats over beat Cipher. We're doing Speeds versus the kids,
and listen, I've got a lot of groom to make
up against like these five year olds. Okay, so we'll
(02:29):
put a little bit of fun and functional sports content
a little bit later on in the show. The kids
have made their picks for divisional rounds, and we got
some great handicapping and analysis to get into. I want
to tell you guys a couple of things real quick
in this segment and put them out there in the
chat room. Are people on YouTube that are watching right now,
Stats over beat Cipher, I got a couple of questions
(02:49):
for you. You may have heard this story. It was
big on this network and in the kind of DFS
community earlier on in the week. Um, you may be
familiar with the reality show The Bachelor. Well, this woman
who was either a Bachelor or you know, one of
the candidates in The Bachelor who wound up, you know,
marrying some dude. Yeah, well she won the Milliemaker, uh
(03:10):
last week. All right, and here's what happened. Her name
is Jade Roper Talbert. But her husband, Hanner Talbert, he
actually plays DFS. And then it came you know, Draft
Kicks did some investigation and it seems like there's a
little collusion going on. Maybe they each put in a
hundred fifty line ups each kind to make sure to
have coverage, and what do you know, bang she SILMILLI maker.
(03:33):
Now my thing is not if they were doing this
or not. Of course they were doing this. My thing
is I ain't I ain't got no problem with it,
all right. I think like quite frankly, this is smart
to have a syndicate, have a conglomerate. I'm not worth
worried about it. In fact, everyone in the chat room,
whoever follows me at spittin speeds, let's do this together.
(03:55):
Let's round up some money, let's figure out where we
want to kind of allocate those re sources, what kind
of coverage we want, and uh, we'll take it from there.
I'm completely okay with this. Let me know in the
chat room if you are as well. And then also
this morning, as you know, I do every morning here
seven or nine am here on the Sports Grid network
and make it rain with my main man, Joe RONNERI.
And when he was talking this morning, I thought it
(04:17):
was interesting, you know this idea that listen, Tom Brady
put out this Instagram post right saying that he still
had a lot to prove. Okay, and so everyone means, oh,
he's coming back, what's he gonna do you know all
this stuff. I gotta tell you something. If you read
the rest of that like post, it looks like a
farewell letter that someone would take out like a full
page ad in the newspaper when they actually retired, to
(04:37):
say like he wanted to thank everybody. You know, he's
reflective on his entire career. There like of that letter
sounded like a man that was walking away. Uh. And
then there was just the one line like yeah, but
I've got more left to prove. So it makes a
lot of people wonder is he gonna come back to
the Patriots? Might he go somewhere else? Remember the Patriots
(05:00):
move on from you a year beforehand, not a year after.
He will be a free agent, right. We've heard some
talk about other teams. Of course, other teams might want
Tom Brady, even though I think he is a shell
of his former self. But check this out. There's odds
already on teams not named the New England Patriots where
Tom Brady TV twelve Maybe next year and check this out.
(05:22):
The big favorite, big favorite up the unicorn is listening.
The big favorite at two to one is the Los
Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are now two to one to
have Tom Brady playing for them next year. Okay, this
is what the Patriots off the board. Okay, two to
one Chargers, then three teams at seven oh one. They
are the Las Vegas Raiders, the Dallas Cowboys, and the
(05:45):
Indianapolis culture. Remember we've been talking about guys like Jacoby
Brissette and if he is long for that role, same
thing with car We're here and now that Gruden is
saying maybe he doesn't really you know, want to go
into this new arena with a quarterback. Could he be
in the market as a chair at the merry go
round on as the music stops. And then you know
Dallas obviously, you know Jerry Jones always down make a
little thing? Does McCarthy like Dak still got to find out.
(06:08):
There's some other ones like Tampa Bay at nine o one,
which I think is interesting. I think it's interesting that
there's no New England. And I also think it's interesting
that you don't have odds and things like will he
be with you know, like CBS or ESPN or NFL network,
because I think that's viable. And also what about what
about coaching? I need to do that? So I think
there may be some other options when he says he
(06:28):
has things left to prove. Maybe it's not as a quarterback.
Maybe it's not in the way you would think. And
here's what I say. The reason I think Brady is
kind of hemming and hawing on this and sending mixed
messages in the letter. Because I've said it before, I'll
say it right now. I think Josh McDaniels is the
first domino to drop. If McDaniels does in fact take
the Cleveland Brown's job and he's interviewing for it tomorrow,
(06:48):
all right, then does Brady really want to come back
to New England at age forty two or whatever it
is and breaking a new O C. I mean, I
know he would have a new o C where he
went somewhere else, but that would be like kind of
a different challenge as his son sets the career. You know.
So I do think that is interesting in the chat
room right now, if you're real deal status would beat Cipher.
(07:09):
And I see some of the crew is in there.
We got Druth. He knows I don't just give you
a fish, I teach you how to fish. Mendel, Bruce
Francisco g in the building. Um so yeah, alright, uh yeah,
I'm with you, Francisco G. Let's do it. Let's do it,
let's figure it out, okay, and you'll put in some lineups,
I'll put it in others. And well, you know, me
(07:29):
and my boys, we used to go into like Atlantic City,
the same kind of sit and go poker tournaments, like
a two table tournament, be like eight teen players. Me
and my boys would be like four of us. We'd
all enter the same tournament, and we just promised we
wouldn't bluff each other, we wouldn't try and go all
in against each other. It's the same theory I'm with
if Francisco G. S Henry Henderson back in the chat
right now. All right, so when we come back episode
(07:51):
four thirty two with the Fantasy Freestyle right here on
Sports Grade, we cover the injuries for the team's playing
this weekend, and I give you my game by game breakdown.
We do dfs and then the kids gotta make their
picks as well. Come on back, yahpa, come on, you
know what it is. Daily dealy to the crew, Fantasy

The Fantasy Freestyle, where the stats over Beat Cipher convenes
twice week here on Sports Grid to win their leagues
(08:56):
and win that cast. My man Francisco, g's all about it.
Let's get this money. I know what's up, all right,
So maybe we'll have to do this. By the way,
my guys Frank Stanfield and Greg Sussman, they got a
BFS tournament on a fan duel. I'm up in it.
You can be as well if you're interested. Let me know.
Maybe I'll get these BFFs to send you to link. Um.
So let's look at some of these injuries, all right,
(09:17):
we'll go team by team. Okay, for Seattle, they're relatively healthy.
Drawn Brown their wide receiver, but he's like their third
or fourth wide receiver. He was limited with a knee injury.
Otherwise they seem pretty clean. Remember Clowney came back. They're
working to Travis Homer, Marshawn Lynch, Combo. Jern Brown really
the only one I saw as far the skill positions.
If you look at Houston Texans, Okay, they're wide outs
(09:38):
are interesting as well. Um Fuller with the groin a
little bit back Stills as well. Both of these guys
are limited. I think this is really interesting. Uh, Stills
and Fuller have a gap of only a hundred dollars
between them and DFS at least on FanDuel this week. Okay,
so watch these guys practice reports tomorrow, um, because if
(10:00):
one of them can't go, then the other one is
a great value, all right at their mid five thousand
price point. Remember against this Kansas City Chiefs past defense
and where many people believe points will be scored. I
think that's the highest total on the board this week.
In Minnesota, you got wide receiver issues. Yes, Stefon Diggs,
you Digserch came back to practice. They said he was sick.
(10:20):
No problem, he's back. He'll be fine. He'll be out there.
Adam Feeling though, I got a feeling. I had a
feeling about him last week. He was in my DFS lineup.
I gave you prop bets about him. He went like
seven for one sixty. But apparently he got a really
bad gash um on the ankle and they are proceeding
with caution about this, so he may profile to be
a little bit more dangerous. So check out what happens
(10:41):
with feeling Um tomorrow and practice. If we look at Tennessee, um,
they still will not have Adam Humphreyes their slot receiver.
He's got the ankle injury. Still hasn't really practiced a
Dory Jackson though, returned to practice, and I think that's
interesting that he's the cornerback been battling a foot injury.
They may need him, um, you know against Baltimore on
(11:01):
Saturday Night. Guys like Smoke Brown, uh, Willie Snead as well.
In San Francisco, they're getting healthy. Remember they had that
bye week, Kwan Alexander de Ford. Gotta keep an eye
out on them. They may be returning in Green Bay.
It's blogga, I told you the pro Bowl tackle was
in the concussion protocol. Gotta get a check in on that.
And Jamal Williams was back at practice, full participate at
(11:25):
practice with a shoulder injury. He should be good to
go in Baltimore. These are the big ones, guys, all right.
Baltimore is really the one where I think you have
absolute key pieces that maybe legit questionable or maybe not
even able to go. And the first one is mark
Ingram running back. Mark Ingram with that calf injury has
now been officially listed as questionable. This is a legit injury, guys, right, um,
(11:48):
this is one that they don't want to rush. This
is one that has the Remember we saw Kevin Durant,
We've seen other people with calf injuries that they try
to come back a little too soon and watch what happens. Right.
Mark Andrews also tight end from them the second year
tight end. It's been a revelation tight end for overall.
I believe in fantasy this year he's got an ankle injury. Okay,
(12:09):
he's also legitimately questionable. These guys are banged up. These
Ravens coming in on Saturday night, and remember with the
weather and you know the kind of style of fight.
This could be interesting. Um, I'll tell you what I
think about that in a couple of minutes. Kansas City.
Travis Kelsey is limited, but he's gonna go. They're not.
There's no way Travis Kelsey doesn't go. And those are
guys that I'd be watching for the practice reports as
they come out tomorrow to see which way they are trending.
(12:33):
All right, So listen, there are going to be some
repeating themes here, all right. In my and when I
tore through these games, you have a team that won
last week, and I think the million dollar question is
will they be able to do it again? Will the Titans,
the Vikings, you know, the Texans Seahawks, will they be
(12:56):
able to do what they did last week in order
to win? And then you know, even as we get
to speeds verse the kids, kids, we'll give you their
thoughts and if they're gonna ride the same trains as
last week. Remember I talked about the child psychology of
it all. I said I still had an open door,
and boy did those kids deliver for me. But any
of the first game I want to talk about, let's
(13:17):
talk about Houston in Kansas City. So for example, remember
when Houston had the great uh stops in the first
half to not let Buffalo get away, and it was like, oh,
but the Bills were getting fuel goals instead of touchdowns,
and how key that was that it was only sixteen
nothing that the Bills were never able to punch it
into the end zone. So I asked you, are they
(13:37):
gonna be able to hold Patty Mahomes to field goals
and not touchdowns? M h, I don't know, right. And
here's the other thing. Deshaun Watson superman. Right. I've been
saying for months now the status will beats. Cipher will
tell you there are three men in the a f
C who I think all bets are off and if
they make plays, their team wins. Patrick Mahomes, Mar Jack's
(14:00):
In and Deshaun Watson. And boy did he prove that
in wild Card weekend? Right? He was an absolute superman.
I mean not only the two forty seven the touchdown,
but the fifty five yards rushing the touchdown, getting out
of pressure, making the game winning play. And I've said
it all year, Watson is one of those men that
you can make plays, he can lead his team to victory.
(14:21):
Here's my problem, even against Buffalo, Deshaun Watson was sacked
seven times with a defense Buffalo who was not They
didn't get a lot of sacks all year. Okay, the
sacking the quarterback was not what they did. Now you
come with Kansas City, and I'm really worried that if
(14:41):
Kansas City gets out to a lead and their defense,
who you know, I've been on recently as dramatically improving
the honey Badgers or else slugs. Now, even if they
have the ability to pin their ears back, I think
it could be a problem for Deshaun Watson. This. This
Chief's defense has given up ten points a game over
the last month and a half. All Right, I'm worried
(15:02):
with Deshaun Watson. I'm even worried that Deshaun Watson starts
this game but maybe doesn't finish it. That's my problem
with this. I also think and Andy Reid is amazing
off the bye. We've talked about this a lot of times.
I like Kansas City. If you're looking at this right now,
the spread is nine and a half with a lot
of these and and one thing I want to mention,
(15:22):
we gave it out this morning and make it rain
in this round. Favorites, the bye teams, the home teams.
They win the game outright around two thirds of the time,
this going back to last ten years, but they cover
the spread only about a third of the time, So
what a lot of times like So what that tells
(15:42):
me is there's gonna be one outright upset in here
somewhere you just gotta pick it. And what it tells
me is that there's gonna be teams in here that
win the game but don't cover, all right. And I
can see that happening with two of these games, and
this is one of them. I think the Kansas City
Chiefs win this game, and I kind of think it
could be comfortably, But with nine and a half as
(16:05):
you're spread, I don't know that they cover that. I
don't know that they win by double digits. Back door
could be open for Deshaun Watson or whoever the quarterback is. Um.
But I do like Kansas City to win the game,
all right. So I want Kansas City. My picks for
Speeds versus the kids will be because we do that,
straight up, will be the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. Um,
And I think they win. I don't know if I'm
(16:25):
gonna lay the nine and a half, so I'd be
a little bit scared of that. I'll tell you how
I'll do, and I can get Kansas City into something
even odds. A little bit later on, I may do
a little three team money line par lay um and
show you how we do that. Okay, but I'm on
Kansas City to win this game, but I would take
the points in this next game in the a f C.
(16:45):
Similarly what we talked about with Houston. For Tennessee, it
was huge that they got the goal line stand against
New England at the end of the second quarter. You
remember that to make a thirteen seven not sixteen seven.
Then at halftime it became fourteen thirteen. And they do
that against the Bolts More Ravens and this rushing offense
and this team that was the best offense in the
NFL all year. I don't know, right, Derrick Henry provides
(17:07):
them balance, right, um, So they didn't need the play action,
they didn't need the deep shots with A. J. Brown
and Derrick Henry. I think in what is gonna be
raining ass, punch you in the mouth kind of style,
I think Tennessee has a shot live against the Baltimore
Ravens and and here's the thing, what about Ingram Is
(17:29):
Gus Edwards gonna be able to dominate, keep keep Tian
Tannehill and Henry off the field. I don't know is
Lamar does Lamar risk at all now? And by risk
at all, I mean put himself out there, get hit
a little bit more, not slide, not run out of
balance because of the playoffs. I love Lamar, He's the
m v P of the league. But something feels fishy
(17:50):
about this one to me. I think the way Tennessee
can control the ball with the clock and the run,
I don't think Tennessee wins out right, but I think
this is a kind of slugfest. I think this is
a one score game. And so again I will take
the home team, but I will not lay the points,
all right. So when the a f C, I like
(18:11):
Casey to win, but not laying the points. I like
Baltimore to win, but not laying the points, all right.
So here's what we're gonna do. On the other side
of the break. We'll look at the NFC game see
if the trends continues. Will these teams that one last
week be able to do the same thing establish their identity.

When it's the wintertime and I see golf, you know
what I think, people who know me know this, Danny,
I call golf in the wintertime, I call it weather
porn Danny, because Yo, it's like what thirty five thirty
(20:28):
three degrees out here in New York today, right it
is officially thirty two, right, alright, alright, thirty two. And
then but if you watch a golf tournament right like
right now, would be like in Hawaii. You know, it's
some nice place where it's beautiful out You see the
beach in the water and the lutch grass and the sun,
and we're over here having like seasonal effect of disorder.
(20:48):
You know what I mean, so I call it weather porn.
What do you think, Danny? I absolutely agree with this, right, absolutely,
all right, So here we go. And by the way
in the chat room, big shout out to Mr Morales
over there, Okay, you know who you are. And um,
also Scott, and that is a great question everyone's talking about,
like where Bradio go? But then what does that mean
for New England? Right if that move were to happen.
(21:09):
I've been saying it is a very interesting market place.
So Scott and anybody else was tuning in the week
in between the championship games and the Super Bowl where
there's no week of football. What I'm planning to do
is dedicate almost the whole show to profiling all the
quarterbacks who there have been buzz about maybe going to
a different address. And there's like ten or twelve of them.
(21:29):
And the way we gotta do it, for Scott and
and others is first like who might be on the move, right,
because then that creates where the open chairs are when
the music stops, and then we gotta see and like
play the matching game. All right, So Scott and We're
gonna do that for sure. Um, We're gonna do it
when there's not, you know, playoff football games on the horizon,
(21:50):
strong style in the building, Henry Henderson in the building
as well. We've covered the a f C games wherein
both of them, I like the home team. I like
the buy team to win, but I would not lay
the points in either game. I like Tennessee plus the points.
I like Houston plus the points. I think the back
door is open for the Texans, even though that Casey
defense has been getting much better. All right, Uh, Minnesota
(22:13):
san Francisco first NFC game. So here's the thing, same theory.
Minnesota last week had that balance with Dalvin Cook, right,
Dalvin Cook twenty carries ninety four yards, Madison five carries.
That's thirty three carries between them for a hundred fourteen yards.
That's the balance we're talking about. Can they do that
up against the San Francisco front? I don't know. And
(22:36):
here's the thing. The way you beat Minnesota vikings Also,
I think San Francisco can do it. They have so
much you know, the fantasy herd. You know this ain't
like Minnesota's not gonna have to stop Michael Thomas this week.
All right, They're gonna have to stop Mammy Sanders and
Deebo Samuel and George Kittle and Brita and most Start
and Coleman, and I think the forty nine has come
(22:58):
at you in waves and so many different ways and
schemed so differently that it is a far different challenge. Also,
we know the Minnesota Vikings. I believe their defense plays
a lot better at home than they do on the road.
They did get it done pretty well last week. They
were indoors and familiar indoor territory in the Dorman, New Orleans,
like they usually are. This is a different animal in
(23:19):
my opinion. Another thing, you know, I talk about things
like the flight and the rest and all that they
played on Sunday one o'clock and they're playing the first
game on Saturday, Minnesota. This is a rest disparity against Minnesota.
I like San Francisco. I think they gave Shanahan time
to scheme. I think not only San Francisco. I can
(23:40):
see them pulling away and covering this number. I like
San Francisco at this point. I got San Franz in
the Super Bowl. UM, although I am holding a Green
Bay Packers when the NFC ticket, so hey mad at that, UM,
But I think San Francisco wins, and if this is
seven or less, I think they can cover the number.
I'd see it right at seven right now, at least
that a partners on FanDuel the spread is seven, all right,
(24:02):
So if it gets the six and a half, I
would I would lay the points. If it goes seven
and a half, that hook would scare me. But I
do think my pick for speeds verse the kids is
the San Francisco forty niners and then Philly. Seattle excuse me, um, Seattle,
green Bay, excuse me, Seattle, Green Bay. This is the
one where I'm may be different than everybody. I love
green Bay. In this game. The public is all over
(24:25):
Seattle and they're like, yeah, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson.
Here's the thing. Okay, you can run a little on
green Bay. Throwing is a lot tougher. And I don't
know that they're gonna be able to run with Homer
and Lynch, and I don't know that DK metcalf is
gonna be able to go off like he did last week.
The Philadelphia Eagles past defense is blunt, guts trash. We
(24:45):
know that not the case with Jairo Alexander, Adrian Amos,
and then boys, I said it going into Week one.
Remember the name Adrian Amos and you gotta pick in
the opener the NFL season against the Bears, his former team.
I'm saying it, and remember their names, Jaire, Alexander and
Adrian Amos. I think they helped to suppress, you know,
(25:06):
the Locket Metcalf Russell Wilson passing game that they've had
to morph into because of the injuries. And I think
they struggle. I really do think they struggle. And then
I think they can get heat on Russell Wilson because
that old line is still not great to protect Russ. Okay,
so the other names you need to know. These Smith
guys that we've been talking about getting real good there
on the Packers front, Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith. It's
(25:30):
gonna be those four guys on the defense. Everyone wants
to talk about Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson and that's
all while in Dandy and I do think this goes
over the number. But uh, I like green Bay. I
like green Bay win, and I like them to cover.
So what does that mean for DFS, Danny? What does
that mean for dfs. Alright, so my picks, I am,
in fact picking the chalk. I know it's so chucky,
(25:54):
but uh, you know, you'll see when the kids make
their picks what I gotta do to make up some Hey,
all right, but two of them I like laying the
points as well against the spread. Those are San Francisco
and Green Bay. I would take the points in the
a f C with the dogs. How does this relate
to uh dfs? So here's what I'm saying. Let's start
(26:15):
with the running backs. Okay, I got one expensive running
back I like, and I got a cheap running back
that I like. All right, Uh, at the top of
the food chain, everybody is gonna be on Derrick Henry
this week, right because of what he did last week,
what he's done for the last oh, I don't know,
month and a half. And he is the deserving most
expensive running back on FanDuel at nine hundred. I'm not
(26:36):
paying nine hundred. I will, however, pay eighty two hundred
for Aaron Jones. Okay, Aaron Jones had sixteen rushing touchdowns
this season nineteen total touchdowns. Let the NFL in rushing
touchdowns with sixteen. What I'll also tell you is that
Seattle is one of the worst defenses left in the playoffs.
I think they are the second worst defense by d
(26:56):
v o A left in the playoffs in the league.
I think they're gonna be able to run the ball. Okay,
I think Aaron Jones is going to run the ball.
I think this Packers offense gets concentrated on Sunday and listen,
you're looking for touchdown equity when you're in the tournaments
like this, right, and I'm gonna take the guy with
the must rushing touchdowns in the NFL, and I'm gonna
(27:17):
take it against a bottom ten defense. Give me Aaron
Jones at two hundred. I'll also go with Gus Edwards
at this mark Ingram thing scares me. Guys, the pivot
is to Gus Edwards. Even if Ingram is playing and active,
I'll still go to Gus Edwards. I think Gus Edwards
still gets carries. I think um Ingram does not get
his full compliment. And you know they can run the
ball with anybody. So give me Gus Edwards at hundred.
(27:39):
I like some wide receivers. I'm going right back to
Green Bay. Give me Davonte Adams, that Seahawks defense is
in the NFL against the pass. I think this is
not gonna be Jimmy Graham, Jamal Williams Lazard. I think
they're gonna know where their bread is buttered. And it's
Aaron Jones and it's Davante Adams, and I want all
the shares I can of those two guys. Give me
(28:00):
Deebo Samuel as well. At I want a piece of
this San fran offense. I think I told you, I
think they win this game going away. I can see
it's something like thirty seven twenty three. I think San
Fran is gonna put up points. And I think with
Kyle Shanahan scheming for an extra week, a guy like
Deebo Samuel, who was the proverbial Swiss Army knife for
(28:22):
that team, they use them in the backfield, they use
them on end the rounds, they use them in all
sorts of ways. I think he will It's almost like
a Taysom Hill scenario, all right, and I think he
will be viable as sixty one hundred. I think he
can make a big play the other wide receiver that
I'm gonna like, and I'm surprised he's this cheap, but
I'll take Hollywood Brown to Baltimore at Remember, this is
(28:42):
touchdown equity, and I'm gonna try and stack this. And
obviously this is subject to change if mark Ingram is
out there, right. But I think they're gonna have to
go over the top a little bit. I really do. Um.
I don't think they're gonna just be able to run
the ball down Tennessee. I think Tennessee is rating for it.
I think they're gonna force Lamar to try to beat
them in the rain in his first playoffs start. I
(29:05):
think they're going to try and force him with the
past if they do. You know, and Andrews is banged up.
This is Hollywood Brown if I can get him at
fifty three hundred, UM in it at flex. Like I said, guys, um,
look at Kenny Stills and Will Fuller. Stills is at
fifty undred full or at fifty six hundred. Look at
the injury reports on them. If one of them is
in and the other is out, I like them to
pop off at kit at tight end, give me George Kittle.
(29:26):
A lot of people will be on Kelsey. I'll take
the second best option at Kitt'll forget Remember I want
shares of the San Francisco forty Niners this week. I
want San fran I want Green Bay. Remember these are
the two teams I'm picking and laying the point. So
I have some forty Niners and the Packers. UM. I
wanted to Kansas City Defense. You know I've been on
them and they've been improving. But instead I couldn't afford them. So, uh,
(29:49):
I think I dropped down when I dropped to UM.
I dropped down too, right. I go to the oh
to the Titans, to the Titans at thirty nine hundred,
I couldn't afford for the Chiefs. I'll take the Titans, now, listen,
I I just I gotta. I got a weird I
got a weird feeling, all right, And I know that's
gut handicapping. We don't like the narratives here, but you know,
(30:12):
Tennessee is so live. They really really are. UM and
then at a quarterback for me, I was like, I
got some money, give me lamar. You know it wasn't
more scientific than that. That's my lineup. Uh. If you
want to get down in this BF contest, hit me
up on Twitter at spitting speeds. What we'll do. On
the other side of the break, Danny, we will check
the pole question and then you know what time it is, Danny,
(30:34):
it is time for speeds versus the kids. Remember, Danny,
we got some ground to make up on Monday, I said,
I thought we could because I thought these kids are
just gonna repeat pick the same names of teams because
they remember it. If you're five years old, you go
with what you know. Let's see how that one played
out on the other side of the break this episode
four thirty two, Dane and Danny needs some ground to
(30:54):
make up. Let's hear what the kids think. You know
what I think. Let's hear what these kids think for
divisional weekend. Come on back on the other side of

(31:43):
STID episode four thirty two, Fantasy Freestyle with the stats
over beats Cipher. We in the chat room right now,
no big ups, m off home people, Perry ing strong style,
joining a little bit late, better late than never, real
deal stats over beats Cipher. And then you know, listen,
people are talking about Derry Henry in the chat room
and like where will he go? For a guy like Henry,
(32:05):
who is, by the way, a free agent, so much
of it matters, like where is he? What team does
he wind up with? What is the scheme of that team?
How would he be utilized? Would he be part of
a committee or not? Right? And here's what I'll say,
because you've got people in the chat room saying, now
he might be a second round pick. He is the
NFL rushing leader. Okay, I understand that. The one word
(32:27):
of caution I give you is know your settings. Okay.
Derrick Henry is the kind of back that has a
lot more value in standard leagues than in PPR leagues.
He don't get PPR. He don't get receptions, right, so
some of these other PPR backs make up that in
receptions than the rushing total that Derrick Henry is. Okay,
So Derrick Henry in standard leagues moll about it. In
(32:50):
PPR leagues, I would actually look to get that production elsewhere,
but again it depends on where he is. All Right,
Danny speeds verse the kids. You and I. You know
we defflicated the matress last week, Danny, all right, and
we will get your picks at the very end, okay, Danny,
Or do you want to give me your picks now? No,
we can. I can go with you go at the
end of Just to be honest, Danny, and I ain't
(33:12):
trying to, like, you know, make fun of you. No
one's here to listen to your picks. They want to
hear the kids, you know what I mean. All right,
So let's start with Jasmine, Danny. Let's start with Jasmine.
Jasmine six years old. Jasmine went one in three last week,
all right, And remember I was like, oh, but they
know some things. Remember Jasmine picked the Eagles because she
said her dad likes the Eagles. Her dad is certainly
a Giants fan. So let's see though you know, Jasmine
(33:36):
one with the Vikings last week. Okay, she went one
in three. The Vikings were her one win. So let's see,
was she picking in the Vikings Niners, the Minnesota Vikings
and the San Francisco forty Niners because last time? Okay,
(33:59):
there you go. Okay, so did you hear that, Danny,
she's sticking with the Vikings because last time she beat Mr. Speeds.
So my my hypothesis that the kids are gonna ride
with their teams so far as good. And that's why
I'm picking, not why I like San Francisco. But see, Danny,
(34:19):
that gives us an opening. All right, Um, Danny, Jasmine
can we she she wants to. She's gonna do two things.
She's either gonna ride with her teams or she's gonna
try to take pits and pieces from Daddy. And check
this out, Uh, check out Jasmine's pick for Ravens Titans
go ahead and the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens
(34:48):
not the same team? Why Daddy said it? Okay, See,
so she's she's aware, you know, she's picking up things
that ADDIE's saying. Interesting, the same thing holds true, Danny,
when she picks Packers, Seahawks, check it out, the Seattle
Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers. She's listening the Packers. Okay,
(35:12):
how come? Daddy says, all right, all right, So Danny,
what do you think about Jasmine's approach? She's going with
whoever she had that beat Mr Speed's last time and
whatever she overhears from Daddy, what do you think? I
think it's getting dangerous because some of them are picks
that I think you and I would be right, right,
(35:34):
But remember Jasmine went one in three, so she's only
one game up on us, right, right, So we got
enough differences, Like I'm I'm taking San Francis, taking Minnesota,
I'm taking Kansas City. She's taking the Texans. So I
can get a working margin on her. I can hop,
we can hop Jasmine. Yeah, all right, so Jasmine one
in three? We love Jasmine. Pick ups the Jasmine um
(35:57):
and I like how she threw in Mr. Speeds. What
do you think about that? Like, I'm not Dane, I'm
not Speeds, I'm Mr Speeds. What do you think about that? Hey?
I mean you earned the title, Thank you, thank you.
All right, let's go to our next kid, our next kid,
Danny's gonna be Casper. Gappy Casper. He's four, He's a
four year old. Okay, he went two and two. He
(36:20):
went two and two. And let me tell you something,
Gasp has taken the opposite approach. Check this out. Okay, Um,
he he picked the Saints last week Vikings beat him.
He's gonna ride with the Vikings. But check out his rationale.
Check out Casper for Vikings Niners, go ahead, I will
(36:42):
kick the Vikings. Vikings, why are you, sir? Because he's
never seen them before, Danny, except for the fact that
he saw them last week when he picked the Saints
(37:03):
against them. So what do you think about this? And
he claims he's never seen them before or never heard
of them before. Check this out. Check out his Chiefs
Texans pick also, Danny, go ahead? Why the Chiefs? Why
the Kansas City Chiefs because he's never heard of them before, Danny.
(37:23):
So Casper is going opposite of what I thought these
other kids were gonna do. Danny. He's picking teams that
he says he's never heard before. What do you think
about that? I think he's dangerous because he's two and two.
He's two and two and the Ravens. I'm worried about
the Chiefs. I'm picking them too, right, So the only
way we can make up ground on four year old
(37:43):
Casper is because he's going with the Vikings. So we're
going to San France. We can make up there, and
he's going with the Seahawks. We're going with Green Bay,
so we can make up two on Casper. But that
would only pull even Check this out though, you know
he's a worldly kid, Casper. All right, Danny, check out
his rationale for picking the Baltimore Ravens. Go ahead, Tennessee
(38:09):
Titans first, Baltimore Ravens. He's quick. He wants the Ravens
right away. I why why do you pick the Baltimore Ravens.
(38:29):
They're so good? That's what? Okay, So, Danny, he said
they're so good at soccer. Do you think he meant football?
Do you think he just meant football? I'm guessing, all right,
I'm hoping. So Casper is locked in. Casper went two
and two last week. And Casper's going Vikings because he's
never seen them before, Ravens because they're good at soccer,
(38:52):
the Chiefs because he's never heard of them. And he's
going with the Seahawks as well, so we gotta make
up some ground on Casper. But now here's the problem, Danny.
There were two lovely young ladies last week who went
three and one with their picks. Okay, we're three again
because you know we were blunt, guts trash last week, Danny,
we got squad douche at Scott. Can you believe that
(39:14):
I went o n four straight up? Last week? I
had Buffalo, Yeah, I had Buffalo, New England, uh, the Saints,
and then I went Philly straight up. I was oh
in four straight up. I had Buffalo plus three and
a half. So against the spread, I get that I
had Tennessee with the points. So like, my bank account
is fine, but I can't make these kids pick against
(39:36):
the spread, so I'm picking straight up. I went oh
in four. So so, Danny, there are two lovely young
ladies who went three and one. Last week. Eight year
old Mickayla went three and one. She went Texans Titans.
She lost with the Saints, and then she went to Seahawks.
My theory or that his child psychology my theory, or
that these kids are just gonna remember the same words
(39:57):
over again and it's gonna be a trigger. So I
sitting pretty were like the Ravens and the Chiefs. Right,
check this one out, Danny. Check what did Michaela say? Uh,
Texans Chiefs make her pick? Why again? Why? See that?
She said, I want the Houston Texans again. I'm sticking
(40:22):
with them. Bang give me the Chiefs all day. That's
how we make up ground on Michaela. And and what
is she doing for Seahawks? Packers? Go ahead, play michael
sea Hawks? Pick sea Hawks again? See that Seahawks again.
Then her grandmother says, if it ain't broke, and Michaela says,
don't fix it. I like this. Now here's the only problem, Danny, Michaela.
(40:48):
Just so you know, Michaela is the Unicorn's niece, right,
She's gonna be my niece. Uh in law? I guess
in like two months or in a month or in
fifty two days or whatever it is. The website says,
the problem is Annie, her mom, Michaela's mom. Danny went
to Johns Hopkins. Okay, So the only thing that can
(41:10):
make her not repeat pick is riding with like her
mom's alma mater. And that's where it plays in. Give
us her Ravens Titans pick. Go ahead, want the Ravens
because that's where her mom went to college, Baltimore. Ain't
that a bitch? Danny? How are you gonna make up
(41:31):
ground on Michaela when she likes the Ravens because her
mom went to f and Johns Hopkins. I know there's
nothing we can do, all right, So MICHAELA is going Vikings, Ravens, Texans,
and Seahawks. The only one that you know, we kind
of agree with our the Ravens. So if San Fran wins,
(41:53):
if the Chiefs win, and if the Packers win, Danny,
we make up three games on Michaela. So it's possible.
Let's go to Cora. Let's go to Cora because we
don't have a ton of time here. Cora, our man,
Danny Lee from the undisclosed location. Remember this, Danny. Cora
went three and one. Remember Cora picked the Tennessee Titans outright,
and her mom reacted, Remember that one, Danny, Right, My
(42:16):
father is like, who do you like? Patriots of Titans?
She picks the Titans clear as day, and her mom
is like, what right, that's awesome. So let's see what
Cora wants to do. Uh, give me Cora's pick Vikings Niners.
Go ahead, okay, baby, which one do you like? Which?
Which one? Were you pointing to Coral in the Minnesota Vikings? Okay,
(42:40):
all right, why but she picked it last time? Bang
the child psychology holes true picked it last time. Okay.
Now let's go to her Titans Ravens pick. She's stick Ravens,
which one? Which one? Which one? This one? Okay? Do
you see Danny and he's like okay, He's like, what
(43:03):
do you mean you sure you want the Titans? Okay, Danny?
It seems like he was not like Danny. Like Danny,
Lee was skeptical a little bit there. What do you
think I mean? At least he's being fair? All right,
we're running short on time on disclosed location. Cora picks
the Seahawks again and then kind of tries to put
(43:24):
it in my eye. Check out how she does it
after she makes her Seahawks. But go ahead, you want
the Seattle Seahawks or the Green Bay Packers. You want
the Seahawks. Okay, I'm winning. She goes and tells me,
I think that's ridiculous. But we'll see what Cora has.
And we only got a couple of minutes left, so
(43:45):
we gotta go to the controversial Zoey Rose. Zoe is
one in three. Her dad has been manipulating this for
years as a Saints fan. But check this out, Danny.
Check out Zoe making a pick Vikings Niners. Ahead and
and see what her dad does. So really like you
know Ingrain the fandom of the Saints in here. Okay,
(44:07):
go ahead and check out the Vikings versus the San
Francisco Which one which ones? Oh? Why? Because they're better?
And the Vikings the team that just humiliated the Saint
They are the team that just humiliated the Saints, Dad,
(44:28):
And doesn't that make you want to hate them? What
do you think about that? Danny? He asked her for
his four year old daughter. Doesn't that make you want
to hate them instead of pick the Vikings? I think
he's uh, he's leading, leading, Yeah, leading, But check this out.
Check this out. Though. Zoe does have one firm prod nottication,
and it is about what what Scott was asking before,
(44:52):
what's up with Tom Brady? Let's see what Let's see
what Zoie Rose has to say about Tom Brady? Will
Tom Brady come back to the Patriots? Yeah? How do
you know that. She just knows. Oh just makes sense.
You're a How long have you been a team? She's
(45:14):
been eighteen for like a hundred years, she says. But
Zoe is going with Vikings Tennessee the Texans, but switching
to the Packers. So Danny, we got a shot. I'm
picking all the favorites. I'm chalky as hell because I
got ground to make up against these kids. Find out
on Monday if I do want to light the lamp

best weekend of the entire NFL schedule, all right, because
you've got two games on Saturday, two games on Sunday,
(46:18):
Unlike wild Card weekend, though, you got the big boys,
we got the one in the two seeds obviously in
both conferences will get their playoff push underway this weekend, right,
So we'll see the Ravens, we'll see the Chiefs, we'll
see the Niners, will see the Packers at home this weekend.
And then you know, championship games are the biggest games, right,
But it's only Sunday here. I still get two days
(46:38):
of what I think is absolutely hopefully going to be
championship quality football, So we'll get into that. What we
will do this show. I'll give you my previews and
picks for all four games. We'll talk about DFS values
and nuggets to help you win a little bit of
cache if you still want to play DFS in this weekend.
And then, as you know, if you are real deal stats,
over beat cipher. We're doing speeds versus the kids, and listen,
(47:02):
I've got a lot of groom to make up against
like these five year olds. Okay, so we'll put a
little bit of fun and functional sports content a little
bit later on in the show. The kids have made
their picks for divisional rounds, and we got some great
handicapping and analysis to get into. I want to tell
you guys a couple of things real quick in this
segment and put them out there in the chat room.
Are people on YouTube that are watching right now? Stats
(47:23):
over beat Cipher, I got a couple of questions for you.
You may have heard this story. It was big on
this network and in the kind of DFS community earlier
on in the week. Um, you may be familiar with
the reality show The Bachelor. Well, this woman who was
either a bachelorette or you know, one of the candidates
in The Bachelor who wound up you know, marrying some dude. Yeah,
well she won the millie Maker. Uh last week, all right,
(47:46):
and here's what happened. Her name is Jade Roper Talbert.
But her husband, Tanner Talbert, he actually plays DFS. And
then it came, you know, Draft Kicks did some investigation
and it seems like there's a little collusion going on.
Maybe they each put in a hundred fifty each kind
of make sure to have coverage, and what do you know, Bang,
she HiT's the Milliemaker. Now, my thing is not if
(48:10):
they were doing this or not. Of course they were
doing this. My thing is I ain'ty I ain't got
no problem with it all right. I think like quite frankly,
this is smart to have a syndicate, have a conglomerate.
I'm not worth worried about it. In fact, everyone in
the chat room, whoever follows me at spintin Speeds, let's
do this together. Let's round up some money, let's figure
out where we want to kind of allocate those resources,
(48:30):
what kind of coverage we want, and uh, we'll take
it from there. I'm completely okay with this. Let me
know in the chat room if you are as well.
And then also this morning, as you know, I do
every morning here seven or nine am here on the
Sports Grid Network on Making Rain with my main man,
Joe ROUNERI. And when he was talking this morning, I
thought it was interesting, you know this idea that listen.
Tom Brady put out this Instagram post right saying that
(48:52):
he still had a lot to prove
