Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy
knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned into
the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next
on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm
(00:20):
one of the best. Yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
It should point Dame Martinez a k A. Speeds a
k A to Spitting Statistician a k a. The stable
(00:42):
Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition other
Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode
number four hundred and twenty six, the four hundred and
twenty six edition convening of the Status over Beat Cipher
where we help you win your leagues and win that cash.
And many people in the cipher, and I know, because
(01:03):
I'm hearing from y'all on social media are on the
precipice of winning your leagues and winning that cash. I cannot.
I feel like a proud papa in some ways. I
see my social media has flooded, My Patreon is flooded
with people that still need my advice, still need ideas
on start sits. Why because you're still live, say with
(01:26):
me now to win your leagues and win that cash,
so we'll be here for the next hour. I'll open
the phone lines earlier than usual. Okay, if you want
to and you got a question for the spitting statistician
hall at me. The number to call is eight four, three, six,
seven nine. Will open them up a little bit earlier
than usual so people can get in their questions, um
as they try to win a fantasy championship. Okay, and
(01:49):
speaking of Fantasy championship, our poll question tonight. I've been
hearing a lot of this this week as well. If
your opponent offers to split the pot? What do you do?
What do you do? All right? I think, and I'd
love to hear your thoughts in the chat room on Twitter.
Call in, let me know what do you do if
(02:10):
your opponent offers to split the pot? Do you A?
You're like, all right, I'm down to chop it up.
I'll lock in some profit. Cool b be like NAA,
not scared money, don't make no money. Let's go for
the gusts though, Like my man, the parlay producer down
in the pit says, or and which is an idea
I brought to the parlay producer downstairs? Or do you
(02:30):
decide like, hey, let's set aside that we're gonna chop
up this much and play for some of the remaining
you know what I mean? So instead of being like
a not a fifty fifty position not zero? Right, but
what if you make it, then you split the pot
like you know, something like that, right? Or do you
(02:52):
let the projections dictate what you do? Because remember how
I felt about the projections, right, I was in four semifinals.
I was projected to win all of them, I mean
two finals. Right, So we'll see you about that. Let
me know what you think. Here are the important injuries
you need to monitor or know about as practice continues
on this week. Alright, First of all, the big one
you guys been hearing about this is Dalvin Cook. Okay,
(03:14):
he is now doubtful. They are saying to play on
Monday Night football in a huge NFC North Divisional matchup
against the Packers on Monday Night football. And the reason
this complicates things is not only is Dalvin Cook probably out,
but the backup Alexander Madison has been dealing with a
leg issue also. I think it's an ankle and he
didn't play last week. So in the waiver whire. I
(03:36):
told you on Monday to go down. It was Mike
Boone preseason kind of all star, you know what I mean?
But are you really gonna start Mike Boone in your
Fantasy Championship on Monday night? I don't know. It depends
on your options. There's a couple of people who hit
me up on social media and I'm like, yeah, go
ahead with Boone. Other people are like, should I start
boon over? And it's like a legitimate running back who
(03:58):
helped get you there, you know what I mean, like
a Philip Lindsay for example, or James White and PPR
and like, nah, I don't know if I get that
cute with it? All right, So that's definitely something to monitor.
I understand the vikings being kind of plug and play
with that run game, but how do you feel looking
yourself in the mirror the next morning? You know what
I mean? All Right, Josh Jacobs, it looks like we'll
be out. DeAndre Washington and Jaylen Richard are the next
(04:21):
man up there. Remember we told you to handcuff these
people a long time ago. You know, Julian Edelman Limited,
you know about Dac now with the A C joint
the shoulder. Let me tell you something. He gonna play,
he gonna throw. Don't believe a damn word you hear
about this. Christian Kirk didn't play with an ankle. The
Titans past catchers are banged up a little bit. Adam
(04:41):
Humphries didn't practice with the ankle. Corey Davis limited. Could
this be even more for the ascending wide receiver out
of old miss A? J? Brown? Could have be even
more for the ascending tight end John U. Smith in
that situation. Damian Williams back at practice for Kansas City
coming off that rib injury, further complicating the committee there
remember Shady McCoy, Darwin Thompson, Spencer where even there? You know,
(05:03):
that's yeah, throwing up against the wall and see if
it's sticks. But I don't recommend doing it. I recommend
going elsewhere. Juju was limited, will Fuller was limited, Nelson
Agalore was limited. Jordan Howard's still not cleared for these
Philadelphia Eagles. And you know how much I believe Jordan
Howard plays that role for this team. Okay, that balance
he affords. I like Miles Sanders. I may even have
(05:25):
him in a DFS lineup. I did last week and
it worked out. But he offers something different in the game.
And here's another one. I don't usually talk about defensive
player injuries, and my man Gabe moreen'sy sports Rage is
gonna love this. The Patriots slot cornerback Jonathan Jones as
in practice twice he's nursing a groin injury. He is
(05:46):
the slot cornerback. Not only is he a slot cornerback,
he is the PFF number two rated slot cornerback in
the entire NFL. Okay, And if New England doesn't have
him and they play Buffalo, the Bills use three wide
out sets like sixty six percent of the time. That's
like third highest in the NFL. Who is that third receiver.
It's Cole Beasley in the slot. I think that could
(06:08):
be big time impact for Cole Beasley. And as you know,
Tom Coughlin is gone. I wonder if that changes your
perception of Jalen Ramsey at all, you know what I mean.
We also got a game of inches that I want
to show everybody right now. As we started off, Danny,
you know, let's not put it up yet. Let's not
put it up yet, because we have been talking about
(06:28):
all year long. In Game of Inches. We've been talking
about like crazy last plays, right the bear sack at
the end of Monday Night Football. But now it's in
the playoffs, you know. And if there was a last
play in one of those games last week that could
have cost someone a fantasy championship, Danny, that would be
(06:50):
pretty bad, right, if like a last player the game
or a last minute of a game lost to year
fantasy playoffs, would that be a contender for Game of
Inches a little bit? Yeah, I think it would too.
I think we're gonna have to show the status over
beat Cipher a game of inches or a last player
of the game in a weird way cause some of
(07:11):
their playoff matchup, and then we'll talk about if that
is a true game of inches. As usual, will profile
the double digit dogs, will profile the home dogs, and
I usually would do Thursday Night Football, but we'll look
at all the games. On Saturday. We'll put together a
little Saturday parlay for you to go ahead and get
a little bit of extra Chris Kringle cash for yourself,
all right, and we will open up the phone line
(07:32):
so this way, if you have any sits, start any
kind of pick up questions We'll be there to try
to help you win your leagues and win that cash.
We'll see who's in with the status over beat Cipher's
it's been in Statistician Yaha, man, you know what it is.
I got this go Keith though the holiday drink. All right,
We're gonna make it pop. Come on back. Fantasy Freestock

(08:38):
Fannessy Freestyle right here, episode four hundred and twenty six.
Thanks for checking us out on sports Grid so many ways.
You can see sports Grid on Pluto TV, on Zumo TV,
on YouTube. You can catch the audio so many different ways.
You know, we're really trying to help everybody out. I
got a couple of questions in the chat room Tommy Gunns.
First of all, you know, we bring the beats here.
That's what the stats over beats site res all about.
(09:00):
That's why it's a spitting statistician. You know what I'm saying.
We try to, you know, uh, keep you head bobbing
because the neck knows. There's no reason we can't have
fun as we're getting that information. You know what I'm saying.
But Tommy, your question of the quarterbacks that you list,
I'm scared about golf against San Francisco, right Dak, Yeah,
I know there's the injury. Listen, Josh, I am not
scared of the Patriots defense anymore. All right, Josh Allen,
(09:22):
I think is gonna be better than he was last
time against Remember he was concussing this game. I think
you listen. Josh Allen also gives you the floor of
the rushing yards. Tommy Gunns, I would not be mad
if you went Josh Allen. I think that's where I
would go. Um Cyrus Jabari is asking me, and that's
a good question about roster moves limits And here's the thing.
Here's what I'll say, Cyrus, I don't do it. If
(09:45):
I'm the commissioner. That's not a setting. I do putting
a limit on. But if it is a setting, and
if it is a regulation or rule, as long as
you knew it, you know, going into the season, and hey,
you know it's above board. You know, as long as
it's clear ahead of time, then that's something you have
to factor in, you know, as you're managing your team.
(10:06):
I personally wouldn't choose to do it, but as long
as it's open and transparent from the beginning, then hey,
you just gotta consider it as you are managing. And
then also Henry and Henderson's um are asking me, Danny,
they're asking me about a specific player, and Danny, they're
asking me about a player who I was on early
(10:26):
in the season, and just when he was about to
start getting into gear, you once again got hurt. And
remember how I just said. Damian Williams is coming back
from his rib injury. And while that's good for him,
what it does is further cloud the situation of the
committee at running back in Kansas City. Well, that's what
this guy is going to do. Danny, guess who's coming
(10:47):
back this week? It looks like you can play it, Jerry,
so kerry On Johnson, looks like you may get back
in it. And here's the thing you're now, carry On
Johnson both Scarborough also coming back. J D. Mckisses Ti Johnson.
It's just too clouded for me. And I don't think
(11:08):
that the Detroit Lions offense is really a place you
really want to have mad shares of anyway. I don't know, Danny.
Let's see how quick you are the only Detroit Lion
I would want to have shares of. Can you figure
that one out? Danny? You know who it is? It's
our song from last year, Dad, Henny Golladay, I'd be
all about. Um, harry On didn't deliver as much as
(11:31):
carry as a Holiday did last year, but we still
love it. And uh so, Henry to answer your question,
you know, I mean it's great that carry On is
back and avoided setbacks and all that good stuff, but
I think a further clouds the situation there. All right,
we'll open up the phone lines a little bit later
on if you have more specific questions to your teams. Um,
but let's talk about some of these what we always do,
(11:52):
what we all First, let's do the game of inches, Danny.
Let's do the game of inches. Um. So, this is
a playoff situation, and and some people are on some
like I don't like the way defenses work, I don't
like the way kickers work. Put it up, Danny. So
the team on the left team they lost by a
(12:13):
point and a half. Right, Well, look at the scoring summary,
and note that this guy who lost had power surge
who lost has the San Francisco defense. So that Julio
Jones touchdown right at the very end that made you
lose points because your defense gave up more And then
that crazy like lateral all that stuff, and land also
(12:37):
scored more points. But it's not even that, Danny. It's
not even that the San Francisco defense, you know, gave
up points causing team five nine to go down. Look
at Danny. One, Julio Jones caught that touchdown pass, they
decided to go for two, Danny, so they didn't kick
an extra point. And then when Atlanta scored that crazy
(13:00):
the lateral touchdown at the end, it was the end
of the game, so they didn't have to tick an
extra point. Now, Danny, Look, not only does this guy
have the San Francisco defense, but look at who their
kicker is, the Atlantic kicker young winkup. So those two
extra points would have got on the one forty six
point one and the last second defensive touchdowns and the
(13:21):
lay Julio touchdown. You know, going against your defense is
what brought it down in the first place. You can
take it off the screen, Danny, what do you think
that's pretty bad? One? That's a hashtag game of inches.
What do you think that is pretty rough? Right? That
is pretty rough, And I think it's bad because of
the playoffs and that play was like crazy, you remember,
it was like you know, uh, like four fumbles and
(13:41):
laterals and stuff that was going on that last player
of the Falcons and the Niners last week. So definitely
a tough way to lose. Sorry out there, power Surge,
but at least you know you got your matchup on
the Fantasy Freestyle. Anyway, Let's keep it moving, Danny. If
there's worse ones out there, hit me up at spitting speeds. Um.
All right, So we'll talk about the Saturday ones a
little bit later on in the show, right in the
(14:02):
last segment, But The first one for me is, uh,
Cleveland ten points verse Baltimore home dog, divisional dog, double
digit dog. Usually I would take the Cleveland Browns here.
Just give me the ten points blindly, and let's see
if it's moved at all. Right, some of these have moved.
These were the lines a little bit earlier in the week.
(14:24):
So it's still at ten. It's still at ten. I
gotta tell you something, this one. For me, it's kind
of a pass. I pass on this one. This is
not a diamond, a dog diamond or of who gaysy.
This is what I would pass on. Why Because Cleveland's
one of the only teams that have beaten Baltimore. I
could see Cleveland trying to get up for this one.
This is the kind of game for me or a
(14:44):
Baker and Odell. They want to show what they can
do against the big boys. I think Baltimore will win, okay,
but I mean Cleveland beat them forty to twenty five
in Week four, all right, So and and and and
Baltimore does want to win this game because they want
to be able to wrest Lamar and week seventeen. They
would need to win in order to solidify that. But
I I think Baker and the back door might be
(15:06):
open there a little bit. I don't. I wouldn't touch
this one. This is too big of a number for me.
Tennessee is a home dog. Tennessee is a home dog.
They're getting two points at home against the Saints. Let's
see if that has moved at all. It's now up
to two and a half. You know, this is a
Drew Brees on grass on the road after the emotional win.
(15:27):
This could be a little bit of a letdown spot
for the Saints. Okay, I could see this being a
letdown spot for the Saints. I really could. I would not.
I would not be mad at you if you take
Tennessee at home, still in the playoff chase right, Ryan
Tannehill trying to prove himself. Derrick Henry has been running
like a beast. Okay, yes, they lost the show down
(15:47):
to the Houston Texans last week, you know, but they
still got some in them. Remember Tannehill is still moving
the ball. We've seen a j Brown Derrick Henry recently.
I know the Saints can score, but the thing is
for me, ten See ken as well, and I I
I just wouldn't be surprised if there's a little bit
of a letdown here from the Saints coming off the
record breaking performances. Um So, I think I would take
(16:10):
the point here. I think I would take the points here.
I think this could be a kind of an uglier
game than the Saints have been playing recently. I will
also take the points with the home dog of the
j E T s Jets, Jets, Jets, I think this
is gonna be all Levan Bell, all right. I think
the Jets will be able to stop the run and
James Connor and then what Duck Hodges, who is in
fact starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You didn't look like
(16:31):
a professional quarterback on Sunday Night, all right, So we'll
see if they Duck Harges and his arm in the
past game is enough to put up enough points. Because
I do think the Jets, and most notably Levian Bell,
is going to do work in this kind of revenge game.
I think that'll be real. Levian wanted to stick it
to his former team. I'm on the Philly side on
(16:52):
this one, but I'm gonna wait till I hear more
about Dak. You know I've been leaving Philly all, you
know the whole season over Dallas. I know Philly's really
hanged up. Howard Lane, Johnson, Nelson, Aghil Or Alshon, Jeffrey,
all these guys are out. But I just don't trust
Dallas to not make mistakes. I've seen Carson Wentz make
plays in the fourth quarter of the last couple of weeks.
That's what championship quarterbacks and teams do. I have more
(17:14):
trust that Carson Wentz can make plays than Dak Prescott.
At home, I think the Philly fans are gonna be
big there. I'll take that Philly home dog diamond in
the rough. As far as a fool gaze, the Chicago
Bears are getting five points. I believe it's five. It
may have moved at home on Sunday night to the
Kansas City Chiefs. Uh, it's now up to six. That
(17:35):
is ful gaze. I am going to lay the point
and take the Kansas City Chiefs. I have been on
this for a while and I'm seeing now even like
Big the Four letter networks out there talking about this
as well. The Kansas City Chiefs defense is getting better
and better. I think they'll be able to force Mitchell
Trobinsky into becoming a volume thrower, and the honey badger
over there is doing his thing. I will lay the
(17:56):
points on the road with the Kansas City Chiefs. When
we come back on the other side, phone lines will
be open. If you want to have your question answered
by the spitting statistician, just hit me up and then
we'll turn the page and we'll look at some DFS
nuggets for you know, for the slate for you to
win a little bit of extra cash. It's episode four
and me up a questions, chat rooms, calls, Twitter, it
(18:17):

(19:50):
trying to be one two. I was just like, you know,
I'm taking the long route, I guess to get there.
Some questions in the chat room, Adrian, I would go Perryman. Listen, guys,
Richard Ryman. This week, I mean Jamis Winston, He's gonna
try to go for four or four fifty again. Okay, Um,
he's on pace to maybe get to like fifty one
yards at this point. Why not try and get it
(20:13):
for him? You know, I don't think there's anything stopping Jamis.
I think they're gonna be slinging the Houston Texans past
defense is not something to write home about anyway. Okay,
So I'm fine with it. I'm absolutely fine with it.
Houston is verse to pass. Jamis is gonna sling it.
There is no Mike Evans, there is no Godwin. Yeah,
(20:36):
it's Brett Brichard Perryman. Okay, Brichard Perryman. Absolutely, if you
have choices between Perryman and someone else that you're hemming
and han about, it is most likely I am going
to say, Brichard Perryman, al right, Ben, I think you
may get a little too cute there. I would stick
with Aaron Jones. Okay, I would stick with Aaron Jones.
I think going Boone is a little too cute there.
(20:56):
And then Perryman al right, Um, Lewis Ruise, I would
go Boone and Sanders. I didn't know who you was saying.
I think you said Hurly. I don't know if you
meant Henry or Gurley, to be quite honest, so I
can't help you in the chatman said Hurly, I didn't
know who that was, so I'm going with Boone and Sanders.
But in any event, Um and Danny, let's open the
phone lines as well, so you guys can clump. Danny's
(21:17):
gonna open them in the Pit of Misery. Will take
any calls to come in if you have specific questions, UM,
or if you want to just tell me how you
did so far, or if you have thoughts on the
UH play for it all or chopped the pot kind
of thing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
I'm in that situation. I'll show you my two finals
I gave you guys my Remember I was in four
semifinals last week and I was projected to win them all,
(21:39):
and I told you, ain't no way I went all
four of them because the projections are trash. I want
to UM. And so I'm in two finals UH this week,
and we'll see if I am projected to win those.
But let's try and win some money even if you're
not in your season long finale. This week. Let's look
at DFS and let me tell you something. This is
a very interesting week because there's three Saturday games right, Um,
(22:02):
But you can make your slate be the whole week,
including Saturday. You can make your slatepy just the Saturday games.
You could be just the main slate on Sunday. You
could be showdown slates if you want, or you can
take it all all right. So I'll talk about guys
that are all across the board, including some on Saturday.
I said it. The last double digit dog that I
didn't get to before was the Seattle Arizona game. And
(22:25):
to be honest, I don't think Seattle is just gonna
boat race Arizona. I really don't. Arizona is playing a
lot better now that Kenyan Drake is there the running back,
they don't have to worry about Edmonds and David Johnson.
Drake is that guy Kyler Murray. I think Listen, he
struggled a little bit last month, but I think there's
a good spot for him. The Seattle Seahawks or twenty
(22:46):
nine in the league against the past. I told you
Houston against the past. These are teams that these are
matchups that we want to target. The other reason these
are matchups we want to target. Houston Tampa on Saturday,
forty nine is the total. New Orleans, Tennessee on Sunday
fifty and a half is the total, and then Arizona
Seattle at fifty one and a half is the highest
(23:06):
total of the entire weekend. Okay, I actually think Kyler Murray.
He gives you that rushing floor. You know, I like that.
I answered up Tommy guns with Josh Allen before because
of the quarterback rushing floor as well. I think Kyler
Murray is gonna have a big game on Sunday. I
really do. Okay. I think Russell Wilson they'll be able
to score. But I think I think a Kyler Murray
will keep it close. B I think he makes some
plays with his legs and see, I will take the points.
(23:29):
It is still ten. I believe I would take the
Cardinals plus the ten and Murray at is my DFS
quarterback for this week. Oh and by the way, you
know how this year and I was early and being like, oh,
I'll take Lamar. That's what next year. I'm telling you
right now, I'm pivoting to Kyler Murray. Second year quarterback
ability with his legs, second year in the scheme that
(23:53):
division's defenses none beside San Francisco am I worried about.
I'm to love Kyler Murray as my weight on quarterback
next year. I'm just saying, but in any event, at
running back in DFS, it's not getting too cute to
go with Boone because his price is okay. He made
plug and play all right. He would be the guy
(24:15):
if there's no Madison, And if there's no Cook you
may have to worry about a mirabdullah on passing downs right,
maybe vulturing some stuff. C J. Hamm vulturing. But Boone
would be the guy to carry the load. He's shown
that he can do it, and Green Bay is twenty
in the NFL against the run. I'm gonna go back
to the Miles Sanders train as well at running back
sevent my narrative, Listen as I teach the stats over
(24:39):
beat Cipher how to fish, not just giving you a fish.
One of the things I said was these rookie running backs,
if you have patience with them, they will deliver for
you at the end of the year. Guys like single
Terry Are, Montgomery are and so is Miles Sanders. He
had a big time game last week I told you
about it. I'm going back to him. Still no Jordan Howard.
(24:59):
I still think the Eagles are gonna want to establish
a run a little bit, and Sanders is viable in
the receiving game, especially with all of these pass catchers
banged up for Philadelphia. I like Miles Sanders at seventy
hundred at the wide receiver position. Here's the deal I'm
I'm giving you. I'm starting a guy like Boone at dred.
My tight end is low. My flex play that I'll
(25:19):
give you is a crazy dart throw. Why Because I'm
gonna spend up at wide receiver this week. I'm gonna
play de Hop at eight seven hundred. Alright. They're playing Tampa,
one of the worst defenses against the past. That secondary
is blunt, guts, trash, all right, and they have been
starting to force feed d Hop the ball in the
last five or six weeks. I believe he is wide
receiver two behind only Michael Thomas. I think that continues
(25:42):
when they need him in big games. I liked Hop
to come up big. You can't eight Michael Thomas either.
At nine thousand. All right, He's he's on pace to
set this record. They're looking to give it to him.
Tennessee is only against the past. I'm like, I don't
matter who they what they are, like, it's the past.
Michael Thomas is f a automatic these days, all right.
(26:03):
And then here's the other thing. I'm gonna go back
to this game. I got Kyler Mury right, I'm going
back the other way, and I'm gonna do it with
DK Metcalf. DK Metcalf has six plus targets or a
touchdown in his last eight games. He's starting to come on.
Remember now without Josh Gordon as well, there may be
some more opportunity there. I think Arizona can score. Will
(26:24):
Seattle be able to just stay run heavy or will
they have to throw some as well? Russell Wilson throws
a deep ball better than anybody in the NFL, And
I like DK Metcalf at only sixty this week. Cardinals
are last in the NFL against the past, alright, so
I like that at tight end. You know how everybody's
talking about Richard Perryman this week, Same logic people, Tampa
(26:48):
Bay is still gonna throw the ball a Ton James
is gonna throw for three fifty. Okay, mark it down
who's catching it. Harryman is some my DFS tight end
is also the other one. O. J. Howard at fifty hundred. Okay,
he is pretty cheap. We know about Houston against the past.
I mentioned it before, and listen, he has average. He's
(27:08):
averaged six targets in his last three games. That's more
than he had been in the earlier part of the
season when everyone realized that they dropped him and ran
away from him. I think you can go back to him.
He's the last man standing there with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And if you need a defense, I told you I'm
on this Kansas City defense there at fort undred, you
may want to if you spend more, you can go
(27:28):
with the Indianapolis Colts. Remember they're facing Will Greer in
his NFL debut. All right, in this Carolina team maybe
a little bit checked out Denver if you like they've
got Listen, Denver has been playing aggressive, good defense the
entire season under Fangio. And they get Detroit now with
what blow and like four running backs we don't know
what their roles are, and no really pass catchers besides
(27:49):
Golla Day left. That could be an interesting one. You know,
all the good defenses. Uh respond accordingly, you know. Um So, Danny,
we're gonna get these uh, we're gonna get these pictures
up because I got two finals that we're in that
I'm in, and you know, it's kind of like the
Royal Royal. We the stats over beat Cipher. Um oh,
(28:10):
but we got some calls as well, all right, so
let's do that. Um, let's do let's do the calls. Um.
I see our boy John g is on the line. Hey, John,
We're gonna take your call on the other side of
the break so we can talk to you about your matchup. Okay,
but let's take some calls here in a couple of minutes.
Let's go to Perry and CALLI. Danny would go to
Perry and CALLI. How can we help you here win
(28:30):
a championship when your leagues and win that cash. What's
going on, Perry? Yo? Jane Dilley, Dilley, how's it been doing?
Doing good? Perry doing good? How are you in some
championships this weekend. I'm in the ship this week thanks
to you. All right, That's what I hope. I'm I
hope I'm still in the finals for that hashtag game
of inches, But yes, I can wait for another day. Yes,
(28:53):
let's get that championship before the game of inches. One. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?
So what you got? Well, so I got two questions
for running back? I have three running backs with all
the news on Dalvin Cook. I have Boone Eckler and
DeAndre Washington. You gotta start, yeah, So I would go
(29:17):
and Boone at the running back position, all right, and
then for wide receiver, same league ptr. I have Perryman
in right now. Would you swap him for either Feeling
or Robert Woods or keep Perriman in there. I thought
you were gonna say, people that made it much easier.
Um wow? And would I really start Perryman over Robert Woods?
(29:41):
And who is the other one? God? Damn? You know
what I listen, I'm going to feeling. I gotta feeling.
And the reason why Perry is this running back situation? Right.
I think they may throw, they may do more in
the passing game. Load up on your vikings. Load up
on your vikings, Perry, go with Boone and go with theeling, alright,
(30:03):
load up on those vikings they're gonna have to throw,
all right. Thanks for the call, Perry. I'll help you
win your league and win that catch call back and
we can figure out the game of inches finally. All right,
but I hope you win. I would go boone Anckler,
and I would I'm put in feeling, I put in
theel in there. All right. Yes, I know what I
just said about Perriman, but this is Adam feeling alright,
like we're talking about Perriman against these other guys. But
(30:24):
Adam Theeland was probably like, you're like third round pick,
all right, and he's back. I would ride out feeling,
I see you Wesley, I see you Dan, and I
see John g. We'll get to your calls and uh,
we'll also see if I have a chance to win
my championships. All that and more. It's episode four hundred

it and play for the rest? I think it's interesting
(31:49):

would not split the pot. You would play for it all.
Scared money, don't make no money. That's what W sixty
nine says at W sixty nine, All right, And then

can you put up please? Uh so, I'm in my
(32:09):
two finals I'm in my two finals. One of them
is my long term home league. Okay, my home dynasty league.
My boys all the way back from high school. We've
been doing this league for fifteen twenty years. I am
the Dynasty League. I am the back to back defending champion,
and I'm in the finals again. Put up the matchup
as the one it's on the in side. Do you
know what I mean? Yeaman against hold the door set
(32:32):
and that's my boy Tom. He's one of the groomsmen
in my wedding. Danny, who's projected to win? Uh? You
I am? I am projected to That was the right answer, Danny.
By the way, Um, I am projected to win by
nine points. All right, you can take that off. Uh.
The other final I'm in is in what many of
(32:52):
you guys know, it's a pretty big buy in a
lot of experts in this league. It's the Fame Greenwich
Street Tavern League. We've talked about it a lot. Put
it on up. I am facing Mr Adam Rownus in
the final. Danny whose favorite to win? I'm gonna keep
the street going you yep? I am. So there you
(33:13):
have it. So Danny, should you can take that off?
So Danny, should I should I oftener chop the pot
in any of these? I mean, I wouldn't you wouldn't
you play for it all? But what if? So what
if I told you this, remember my home league, that
I'm a favorite to win? All right? Remember when I
told you I was two time defending champion in this league? Yeah?
(33:36):
What if I told you that each of the last
two years I beat the same guy in the final.
And it's the same guy who's in the final again
with me this year. I have beaten him in the
finals the last two years in a row. He's the
commissioner of the league. Okay, So I have to then
give him the trophy just so he can engrave my
name on it again. And I'm playing him again in
(34:00):
the finals. Is one of the groomsmen in my wedding,
one of my boys. Big shout out to Tom. Um.
Should I offer to chop the pot with him? Maybe
make him feel good? Uh? No? No? Alright, alright, alright, fine,
what about Ronan? Because that's more big money. That's like thousands, Alright,
We're talking thousands in the G S T League that
I stand to win. Um or do I just want
(34:21):
to go full out and try to take it down.
I mean, how confident do you feel in your team?
I mean I'm projected to win, you know what I'm saying.
But so we'll see. I think I'm gonna go for it,
you know. But let's look at the statue of Beats
League where we are in our finals and it is
going to be Tampa pick six, John G going again
the crypto tooker, and you know whose favorite to win
(34:42):
it is? John G. And John G joins us now
on the phone. What's going on? John? I gotta let
you know. Also we have like you know how my
show is nominated for fs w A Awards and stuff
I sunk in is my submission the episode you were on,
I think it was after week two of the season.
I sent that in as my submission for best Radio
(35:03):
show in the Industry. I really thought the segment we
did captured kind of the spirit of fantasy freestyle what
we do and the cipher. I thought it was a
good representation. You are favored to win the first ever
stats Over Beats League. So what you're just coming on
now to talk smack or do you actually have a question? John? Well, no,
I just kind of wanted yeah, here, yeah, here, you're
(35:25):
allowed to. So let me ask you this. Let me
ask you this. Are you holding true? I was last week.
I was like, listen, man, it was so amazing how
you said you are you wanted to split that first
place regular season money among me and Jilly Dilley. Now
you're in the championship, you stand to win another I
believe it's four hundred bucks or another one fifty if
(35:47):
you are ultimately the runner up? John, are you still
donating your regular prize regular season winnings to Jilly dilleyon myself? Well, Jilly,
Jilly told me on two separate a kid. Yeah for
me to keep it, but yeah, I think it all right.
Well we'll work this out. Brother. Man, I'm not trying.
(36:08):
I'm not in the business of taking other people's money.
But we'll figure it out. And it was a very
nice Listen, John, I gotta tell you something. I really
do appreciate your visit. I appreciate you and everybody in
the stats Overbeats League. Right, we did it for the
first time. I think the chat room liked it. We'll
try and make it even bigger next year. But man,
I'm gonna be uh, I'm gonna be hitting you up
next week because you are profiling to win this league
(36:32):
and when this cash, brother, man, what you're doing over
the holidays in Tampa, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
You know, family and I'll be working and you know, Okay,
you're feeling good about Derrick. Henry he's questionable. He's questionable
with that hamstring. Yeah, so I think he's gonna go.
I think listen. I know it's a tough matchup. I
(36:53):
know it's a tough matchup. But here's the deal. If
Henry is active on Sunday, you are starting Derek and
read John. You know what I mean, especially after the
month he's had. Right, He's literally helped carry you here.
And what are your other running backs that you would do?
Patrick Laird? You know I said you got carry on.
I think I think I'm pretty much I think you said, Bro.
(37:15):
Do I do feel to let down? With Henry and
the injury and the tough matchup, It's possible, but you
got some stars here, Bro. Your team has been a
boss Tyreek Hill. We've talked about a J. Brown coming on,
Michael Thomas, who's setting records, my guy, Austin ekeler O
j Howard in a prime spot Courtland Sutton, who has
been one of the best wide receivers, one of these
(37:35):
young wide receivers coming up, and you picked up Kenyan
Drake at the right time that to have him do it.
I really really like your team, John, and uh, you know,
thanks for being a great representation of the Stats over
Beat Cipher. Brother man had a problem. Good luck to
everybody this weekend for sure. Dilly Dilly to you, Dilly
Dilly to the crew, Diley Deley to the Stats over
Beat Cipher. Let's get a couple of more calls in
(37:55):
and guys, you know it's the holiday season. We can't
not have so tried and true members of the Cipher.
So let's go to Dan and Jersey flock time. What's
good brother man? What's going on? Bost Man? I heard
about your two leagues. Good luck man. Yeah, we'll see
what happens. We'll see what happens. I got another player
other spots where I'm playing for the third place money.
We'll take it, you know. But remember I got a
bachelor party in uh January, so it's all you know,
(38:18):
it's all going to that anyway. How can we how
about you? How about you. Let's when you're leaving with
that cash, what's going on? Definitely? Well yeah, uh three
finals nice and one consolation actually nice? Yeah, thanks man
out of five leagues, out of all, thanks you and
the and the cipher. Well hey, hey, you got off.
And here's the thing. What I'll also say, Dan, because
(38:40):
I know you asked me questions all the damn time, right,
but and I say it to you sometimes even on
social media, like I'll give you some of my insights,
but sometimes you have to trust your gut also, And
I say that, and sometimes like you can make them choices.
So it's not only up to the cipher. Don't just
completely outsource it out right. I'm sure you made some
tough calls to but le's here at some of the
(39:00):
decision points you have for sure for sure. Um So
I'm just kind of like filling on my line up
right now, the only one that's kind of a given
estap Kwan. But my quarterback situation is either um Urbiski
or Maddie Ice. I'd go Maddie Ice for the quarterback,
Maddie Eyes, Maddie I, Okay, wide receiver cup lock it
or um any two of them up lock it up,
(39:26):
lock it and Feeling from feeling two wide receivers. Um Um.
I think feeling is the one without a chair when
the music stops. Unfortunately, even though I just told somebody
else to start feeling, but lock it and Cupper above them,
I consider Feeling a wide receiver. At this point, we
(39:49):
can get back into the second cause I need a
flex to so my wide receiver to Washington Singletary and
Peterson Singletary. I really like Singletary even against the Patriots.
You know how I feel about these young running backs. Definitely, definitely, Um,
I think I'm gonna go with Mark Andrews from my
tight end over Hick. Sure, Everett Everett is practicing again.
(40:12):
Gerald Everett is practicing again. So watch that this could
be a severe change in the tyler higree, go with
the go with the known quantity. I agree with that, okay,
And then my flex in Washington. Let's get thel in
there also, Let's get thel in in there also. And
and and I'm gonna tell you Dan, and thanks for
the call. I'm gonna tell you and I'm gonna tell others. Okay,
(40:34):
I'm not saying this is like a strategic like numbers
driven best practice. I just like having people on Monday night.
I like having the last shot. I'd rather be like
I'm down by thirteen and I have feeling than being
like I'm up by something and I'm facing Aaron Rodgers
or whatever. I kind of like having the last punch.
So that's in tiebreakers, I go that way. So I
(40:55):
would go Adam feeling. Thanks for the call, dan Um,
the last call we have have And of course, how
can we have the phone lines open and not have
our guy? It's Connor and Tampa. So we had John
G and Tampa. We go back to Tampa. I should like,
I should run for office in the city of Tampa.
You know what I'm saying. We got John G. We
got Connor. Maybe they could be my campaign managers. Maybe
(41:16):
you know, uh, Connor, we bring him in now, Connor,
do they have any like local elections in Tampa? They
got any assemblymen, city council? Can you help me out?
Would you vote for me? They have whatever? Some research?
Maybe Tampa. Tampa is a very nice city, all right,
but how can we help you? Connor? So I'm gonna championship,
(41:39):
but it's not looking good so far. I got David
Cook of course, look like he's gonna play, and also
have Chris Gowan, he's already out, and I have Julio too,
so he might not play either. Julio's gonna play. Julio
is gonna yeah. So okay, So if they'll let me
get back to my mind, up here we go. So
my options right now. So I want to I'm gonna
makee my fame real quickly. Krik Cousins, Aaron Jones, Eckler, Julio, Donte, Adams, Waller.
(42:02):
I tell you inheritent bucker. But my question, Nor, who
do you? Who do you play? Run about RB two
between Austin Ekeler and Amirula and then a flex? What
do you play Parker? Mike Williams or Machete? Harryman or
(42:24):
Justin Wason? Is this PPR? This PPR? Yeah? Perryman, Harryman, Yeah, Arson, Yeah?
Quickly quickly, Connor, Um, what do you play? Fifty or
Kirk Cousins Cousins on Monday Night? I remember there's no
running backs. They're gonna throw this. That's why I think
(42:44):
boone out of the backfield is fine. But this is
gonna be feeling. This is gonna be irv Smith, Stefon Diggs.
I think they're gonna throw the ball a little bit.
Thanks for to call Connor. Thanks to everybody. Merry Christmas,
Happy Hanukah, happy Kwanza, whatever it is you celebrate. The
next time I see you guys is on freestyle at least,
I'm here Monday and Thursday. Next week. As usual, we're
gonna start to profile things like speeds versus the kids.
(43:06):
We got a whole lot of fun in the playoffs.
But let me put together a very quick parlay. Because
Saturday is for the boys and there is Saturday NFL action.
I like Houston in the first game. I'll lay the
points um even as the home dog, I believe right,
excuse me, the road. Uh, Tampa's the home dog, so
you're the Houston's on the road laying three. I think
(43:27):
Houston knows they need this game. I think James will
throw a bunch, maybe a lot of yards, but he
will also make some mistakes. I will give Houston the
look there. Then in this Buffalo game, listen, I've been
saying this. The first matchup was sixteen to ten. Patriots
blocked the punt and had four turnovers, and they knocked
Josh Allen out of the game and they won by six.
(43:52):
I think Buffalo covers here. All right, it's New England
minus six. I know it's in New England, but I
think Buffalo has gotten better so far this season since
that first meeting, and I think New England has gotten worse.
I also told you that New England's banged up in
the secondary over the slot where Cole Beasley is going
to be. I like Cole Beasley to have a big game.
I'll be on the Beasley prop bets on Saturday. And
(44:12):
then in the late game, the Rams were hot and
they laid negg in Dallas. Now they got to go
back to back road games, back into the Bay to
see San Francisco. I trust San Francisco to bring it.
I would lay the points. So on Saturday, I'm taking
Houston on the road, Buffalo is on the road with
the points, and I'm taking San Francisco at home. That
Buffalo New England game. I think it's gonna be a
(44:34):
very low scoring game as well. I like the under
in that one. Good luck to everybody, all right, this
is the week where you win your leagues and win
net cash. Hit me up on Patreon, hit me up
on Twitter. I'll be doing shows on Saturday and Sunday,
trying to respond to as many questions as possible, so
you could go ahead and bring it on home, all right,
(44:54):
but for Saturday, give me Houston, give me Buffalo with
the points, and give me San Francisco. And by the way,
that Buffalo New England game, I think it's gonna go
under the number, all right, under the number in game live,
Gabe Morancy takes this seat, but I just slide right
over there. We're gonna help you win some in game
live cast. You know, you can buy more egg nogg
(45:15):
and Chris Crankle and all that good stuff we out face.

spitting statistician hall at me that I'm gonna call is
eight four, three, six, seven nine. Will open them up
a little bit earlier than usual so people can get
in their questions, um as they try to win a
fantasy championship. Okay, and speaking of Fantasy championship, our poll
question tonight, I've been hearing a lot of this this
week as well. If you're an opponent offers to split
(46:49):
the pot, what do you do? What do you do?
All right? I think, and I'd love to hear your
thoughts in the chat room on Twitter. Call in let

to split the pot. Do you A you're like I,
I'm down to chop it up. I'll lock in some profit,
cool BB like NAA, not scared money, don't make no money.
(47:10):
Let's go for the gusts though, like my man, the
parlay producer down in the pit says, or and which
is an idea I brought to the parlay producer downstairs?
Or do you decide like A, let's set aside that
we're gonna chop up this much and play for some
of the remaining you know what I mean? So instead
of being like a not a fifty fifty proposition not zero? Right?
(47:31):
But what if you make it? Then you split the
pot like you know something like that, right? Or do
you let the projections dictate what you do? Because remember
how I felt about the projections? Right. I was in
four semifinals, I was projected to win all of them.
I'm in two finals. Right, So we'll see you about that.
Let me know what you think. Here are the important
(47:51):
injuries you need to monitor or know about as practice
continues on this week. Al Right, First of all, the
big one you guys been hearing about this It is
Dalvin Cook. Okay, he is now doubtful. They are saying
to play on Monday Night football in a huge NFC
North Divisional matchup against the Packers on Monday Night Football.
And the reason this complicates things is not only is
(48:11):
Dalvin Cook probably out, but the backup Alexander Madison has
been dealing with a leg issue also. I think it's
an ankle and he didn't play last week. So in
the waiver whire, I told you on Monday to go down.
It was Mike Boone preseason kind of all star, you
know what I mean. But are you really gonna start
Mike Boone in your fantasy championship on Monday Night? I
(48:34):
don't know. It depends on your options. There's a couple
of people who have hit me up on social media
and I'm like, yeah, go ahead with Boone. Other people
are like should I start boon over? And it's like
a legitimate running back who helped get you there. Be

But are you really gonna start Mike Boone in your
Fantasy Championship on Monday night? I don't know. It depends
on your options. There's a couple of people who hit
me up on social media and I'm like, yeah, go
ahead with Boone. Other people are like, should I start
boon over? And it's like a legitimate running back who
(03:58):
helped get you there, you know what I mean, like
a Philip Lindsay for example, or James White and PPR
and like, nah, I don't know if I get that
cute with it? All right, So that's definitely something to monitor.
I understand the vikings being kind of plug and play
with that run game, but how do you feel looking
yourself in the mirror the next morning? You know what
I mean? All Right, Josh Jacobs, it looks like we'll
be out. DeAndre Washington and Jaylen Richard are the next
(04:21):
man up there. Remember we told you to handcuff these
people a long time ago. You know, Julian Edelman Limited,
you know about Dac now with the A C joint
the shoulder. Let me tell you something. He gonna play,
he gonna throw. Don't believe a damn word you hear
about this. Christian Kirk didn't play with an ankle. The
Titans past catchers are banged up a little bit. Adam
(04:41):
Humphries didn't practice with the ankle. Corey Davis limited. Could
this be even more for the ascending wide receiver out
of old miss A? J? Brown? Could have be even
more for the ascending tight end John U. Smith in
that situation. Damian Williams back at practice for Kansas City
coming off that rib injury, further complicating the committee there
remember Shady McCoy, Darwin Thompson, Spencer where even there? You know,
(05:03):
that's yeah, throwing up against the wall and see if
it's sticks. But I don't recommend doing it. I recommend
going elsewhere. Juju was limited, will Fuller was limited, Nelson
Agalore was limited. Jordan Howard's still not cleared for these
Philadelphia Eagles. And you know how much I believe Jordan
Howard plays that role for this team. Okay, that balance
he affords. I like Miles Sanders. I may even have
(05:25):
him in a DFS lineup. I did last week and
it worked out. But he offers something different in the game.
And here's another one. I don't usually talk about defensive
player injuries, and my man Gabe moreen'sy sports Rage is
gonna love this. The Patriots slot cornerback Jonathan Jones as
in practice twice he's nursing a groin injury. He is
(05:46):
the slot cornerback. Not only is he a slot cornerback,
he is the PFF number two rated slot cornerback in
the entire NFL. Okay, And if New England doesn't have
him and they play Buffalo, the Bills use three wide
out sets like sixty six percent of the time. That's
like third highest in the NFL. Who is that third receiver.
It's Cole Beasley in the slot. I think that could
(06:08):
be big time impact for Cole Beasley. And as you know,
Tom Coughlin is gone. I wonder if that changes your
perception of Jalen Ramsey at all, you know what I mean.
We also got a game of inches that I want
to show everybody right now. As we started off, Danny,
you know, let's not put it up yet. Let's not
put it up yet, because we have been talking about
(06:28):
all year long. In Game of Inches. We've been talking
about like crazy last plays, right the bear sack at
the end of Monday Night Football. But now it's in
the playoffs, you know. And if there was a last
play in one of those games last week that could
have cost someone a fantasy championship, Danny, that would be
(06:50):
pretty bad, right, if like a last player the game
or a last minute of a game lost to year
fantasy playoffs, would that be a contender for Game of
Inches a little bit? Yeah, I think it would too.
I think we're gonna have to show the status over
beat Cipher a game of inches or a last player
of the game in a weird way cause some of
(07:11):
their playoff matchup, and then we'll talk about if that
is a true game of inches. As usual, will profile
the double digit dogs, will profile the home dogs, and
I usually would do Thursday Night Football, but we'll look
at all the games. On Saturday. We'll put together a
little Saturday parlay for you to go ahead and get
a little bit of extra Chris Kringle cash for yourself,
all right, and we will open up the phone line
(07:32):
so this way, if you have any sits, start any
kind of pick up questions We'll be there to try
to help you win your leagues and win that cash.
We'll see who's in with the status over beat Cipher's
it's been in Statistician Yaha, man, you know what it is.
I got this go Keith though the holiday drink. All right,
We're gonna make it pop. Come on back. Fantasy Freestock

Fannessy Freestyle right here, episode four hundred and twenty six.
Thanks for checking us out on sports Grid so many ways.
You can see sports Grid on Pluto TV, on Zumo TV,
on YouTube. You can catch the audio so many different ways.
You know, we're really trying to help everybody out. I
got a couple of questions in the chat room Tommy Gunns.
First of all, you know, we bring the beats here.
That's what the stats over beats site res all about.
(09:00):
That's why it's a spitting statistician. You know what I'm saying.
We try to, you know, uh, keep you head bobbing
because the neck knows. There's no reason we can't have
fun as we're getting that information. You know what I'm saying.
But Tommy, your question of the quarterbacks that you list,
I'm scared about golf against San Francisco, right Dak, Yeah,
I know there's the injury. Listen, Josh, I am not
scared of the Patriots defense anymore. All right, Josh Allen,
(09:22):
I think is gonna be better than he was last
time against Remember he was concussing this game. I think
you listen. Josh Allen also gives you the floor of
the rushing yards. Tommy Gunns, I would not be mad
if you went Josh Allen. I think that's where I
would go. Um Cyrus Jabari is asking me, and that's
a good question about roster moves limits And here's the thing.
Here's what I'll say, Cyrus, I don't do it. If
(09:45):
I'm the commissioner. That's not a setting. I do putting
a limit on. But if it is a setting, and
if it is a regulation or rule, as long as
you knew it, you know, going into the season, and hey,
you know it's above board. You know, as long as
it's clear ahead of time, then that's something you have
to factor in, you know, as you're managing your team.
(10:06):
I personally wouldn't choose to do it, but as long
as it's open and transparent from the beginning, then hey,
you just gotta consider it as you are managing. And
then also Henry and Henderson's um are asking me, Danny,
they're asking me about a specific player, and Danny, they're
asking me about a player who I was on early
(10:26):
in the season, and just when he was about to
start getting into gear, you once again got hurt. And
remember how I just said. Damian Williams is coming back
from his rib injury. And while that's good for him,
what it does is further cloud the situation of the
committee at running back in Kansas City. Well, that's what
this guy is going to do. Danny, guess who's coming
(10:47):
back this week? It looks like you can play it, Jerry,
so kerry On Johnson, looks like you may get back
in it. And here's the thing you're now, carry On
Johnson both Scarborough also coming back. J D. Mckisses Ti Johnson.
It's just too clouded for me. And I don't think
(11:08):
that the Detroit Lions offense is really a place you
really want to have mad shares of anyway. I don't know, Danny.
Let's see how quick you are the only Detroit Lion
I would want to have shares of. Can you figure
that one out? Danny? You know who it is? It's
our song from last year, Dad, Henny Golladay, I'd be
all about. Um, harry On didn't deliver as much as
(11:31):
carry as a Holiday did last year, but we still
love it. And uh so, Henry to answer your question,
you know, I mean it's great that carry On is
back and avoided setbacks and all that good stuff, but
I think a further clouds the situation there. All right,
we'll open up the phone lines a little bit later
on if you have more specific questions to your teams. Um,
but let's talk about some of these what we always do,
(11:52):
what we all First, let's do the game of inches, Danny.
Let's do the game of inches. Um. So, this is
a playoff situation, and and some people are on some
like I don't like the way defenses work, I don't
like the way kickers work. Put it up, Danny. So
the team on the left team they lost by a
(12:13):
point and a half. Right, Well, look at the scoring summary,
and note that this guy who lost had power surge
who lost has the San Francisco defense. So that Julio
Jones touchdown right at the very end that made you
lose points because your defense gave up more And then
that crazy like lateral all that stuff, and land also
(12:37):
scored more points. But it's not even that, Danny. It's
not even that the San Francisco defense, you know, gave
up points causing team five nine to go down. Look
at Danny. One, Julio Jones caught that touchdown pass, they
decided to go for two, Danny, so they didn't kick
an extra point. And then when Atlanta scored that crazy
(13:00):
the lateral touchdown at the end, it was the end
of the game, so they didn't have to tick an
extra point. Now, Danny, Look, not only does this guy
have the San Francisco defense, but look at who their
kicker is, the Atlantic kicker young winkup. So those two
extra points would have got on the one forty six
point one and the last second defensive touchdowns and the
(13:21):
lay Julio touchdown. You know, going against your defense is
what brought it down in the first place. You can
take it off the screen, Danny, what do you think
that's pretty bad? One? That's a hashtag game of inches.
What do you think that is pretty rough? Right? That
is pretty rough, And I think it's bad because of
the playoffs and that play was like crazy, you remember,
it was like you know, uh, like four fumbles and
(13:41):
laterals and stuff that was going on that last player
of the Falcons and the Niners last week. So definitely
a tough way to lose. Sorry out there, power Surge,
but at least you know you got your matchup on
the Fantasy Freestyle. Anyway, Let's keep it moving, Danny. If
there's worse ones out there, hit me up at spitting speeds. Um.
All right, So we'll talk about the Saturday ones a
little bit later on in the show, right in the
(14:02):
last segment, But The first one for me is, uh,
Cleveland ten points verse Baltimore home dog, divisional dog, double
digit dog. Usually I would take the Cleveland Browns here.
Just give me the ten points blindly, and let's see
if it's moved at all. Right, some of these have moved.
These were the lines a little bit earlier in the week.
(14:24):
So it's still at ten. It's still at ten. I
gotta tell you something, this one. For me, it's kind
of a pass. I pass on this one. This is
not a diamond, a dog diamond or of who gaysy.
This is what I would pass on. Why Because Cleveland's
one of the only teams that have beaten Baltimore. I
could see Cleveland trying to get up for this one.
This is the kind of game for me or a
(14:44):
Baker and Odell. They want to show what they can
do against the big boys. I think Baltimore will win, okay,
but I mean Cleveland beat them forty to twenty five
in Week four, all right, So and and and and
Baltimore does want to win this game because they want
to be able to wrest Lamar and week seventeen. They
would need to win in order to solidify that. But
I I think Baker and the back door might be
(15:06):
open there a little bit. I don't. I wouldn't touch
this one. This is too big of a number for me.
Tennessee is a home dog. Tennessee is a home dog.
They're getting two points at home against the Saints. Let's
see if that has moved at all. It's now up
to two and a half. You know, this is a
Drew Brees on grass on the road after the emotional win.
(15:27):
This could be a little bit of a letdown spot
for the Saints. Okay, I could see this being a
letdown spot for the Saints. I really could. I would not.
I would not be mad at you if you take
Tennessee at home, still in the playoff chase right, Ryan
Tannehill trying to prove himself. Derrick Henry has been running
like a beast. Okay, yes, they lost the show down
(15:47):
to the Houston Texans last week, you know, but they
still got some in them. Remember Tannehill is still moving
the ball. We've seen a j Brown Derrick Henry recently.
I know the Saints can score, but the thing is
for me, ten See ken as well, and I I
I just wouldn't be surprised if there's a little bit
of a letdown here from the Saints coming off the
record breaking performances. Um So, I think I would take
(16:10):
the point here. I think I would take the points here.
I think this could be a kind of an uglier
game than the Saints have been playing recently. I will
also take the points with the home dog of the
j E T s Jets, Jets, Jets, I think this
is gonna be all Levan Bell, all right. I think
the Jets will be able to stop the run and
James Connor and then what Duck Hodges, who is in
fact starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You didn't look like
(16:31):
a professional quarterback on Sunday Night, all right, So we'll
see if they Duck Harges and his arm in the
past game is enough to put up enough points. Because
I do think the Jets, and most notably Levian Bell,
is going to do work in this kind of revenge game.
I think that'll be real. Levian wanted to stick it
to his former team. I'm on the Philly side on
(16:52):
this one, but I'm gonna wait till I hear more
about Dak. You know I've been leaving Philly all, you
know the whole season over Dallas. I know Philly's really
hanged up. Howard Lane, Johnson, Nelson, Aghil Or Alshon, Jeffrey,
all these guys are out. But I just don't trust
Dallas to not make mistakes. I've seen Carson Wentz make
plays in the fourth quarter of the last couple of weeks.
That's what championship quarterbacks and teams do. I have more
(17:14):
trust that Carson Wentz can make plays than Dak Prescott.
At home, I think the Philly fans are gonna be
big there. I'll take that Philly home dog diamond in
the rough. As far as a fool gaze, the Chicago
Bears are getting five points. I believe it's five. It
may have moved at home on Sunday night to the
Kansas City Chiefs. Uh, it's now up to six. That
(17:35):
is ful gaze. I am going to lay the point
and take the Kansas City Chiefs. I have been on
this for a while and I'm seeing now even like
Big the Four letter networks out there talking about this
as well. The Kansas City Chiefs defense is getting better
and better. I think they'll be able to force Mitchell
Trobinsky into becoming a volume thrower, and the honey badger
over there is doing his thing. I will lay the
(17:56):
points on the road with the Kansas City Chiefs. When
we come back on the other side, phone lines will
be open. If you want to have your question answered
by the spitting statistician, just hit me up and then
we'll turn the page and we'll look at some DFS
nuggets for you know, for the slate for you to
win a little bit of extra cash. It's episode four
and me up a questions, chat rooms, calls, Twitter, it

(19:50):
trying to be one two. I was just like, you know,
I'm taking the long route, I guess to get there.
Some questions in the chat room, Adrian, I would go Perryman. Listen, guys,
Richard Ryman. This week, I mean Jamis Winston, He's gonna
try to go for four or four fifty again. Okay, Um,
he's on pace to maybe get to like fifty one
yards at this point. Why not try and get it
(20:13):
for him? You know, I don't think there's anything stopping Jamis.
I think they're gonna be slinging the Houston Texans past
defense is not something to write home about anyway. Okay,
So I'm fine with it. I'm absolutely fine with it.
Houston is verse to pass. Jamis is gonna sling it.
There is no Mike Evans, there is no Godwin. Yeah,
(20:36):
it's Brett Brichard Perryman. Okay, Brichard Perryman. Absolutely, if you
have choices between Perryman and someone else that you're hemming
and han about, it is most likely I am going
to say, Brichard Perryman, al right, Ben, I think you
may get a little too cute there. I would stick
with Aaron Jones. Okay, I would stick with Aaron Jones.
I think going Boone is a little too cute there.
(20:56):
And then Perryman al right, Um, Lewis Ruise, I would
go Boone and Sanders. I didn't know who you was saying.
I think you said Hurly. I don't know if you
meant Henry or Gurley, to be quite honest, so I
can't help you in the chatman said Hurly, I didn't
know who that was, so I'm going with Boone and Sanders.
But in any event, Um and Danny, let's open the
phone lines as well, so you guys can clump. Danny's
(21:17):
gonna open them in the Pit of Misery. Will take
any calls to come in if you have specific questions, UM,
or if you want to just tell me how you
did so far, or if you have thoughts on the
UH play for it all or chopped the pot kind
of thing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
I'm in that situation. I'll show you my two finals
I gave you guys my Remember I was in four
semifinals last week and I was projected to win them all,
(21:39):
and I told you, ain't no way I went all
four of them because the projections are trash. I want
to UM. And so I'm in two finals UH this week,
and we'll see if I am projected to win those.
But let's try and win some money even if you're
not in your season long finale. This week. Let's look
at DFS and let me tell you something. This is
a very interesting week because there's three Saturday games right, Um,
(22:02):
But you can make your slate be the whole week,
including Saturday. You can make your slatepy just the Saturday games.
You could be just the main slate on Sunday. You
could be showdown slates if you want, or you can
take it all all right. So I'll talk about guys
that are all across the board, including some on Saturday.
I said it. The last double digit dog that I
didn't get to before was the Seattle Arizona game. And
(22:25):
to be honest, I don't think Seattle is just gonna
boat race Arizona. I really don't. Arizona is playing a
lot better now that Kenyan Drake is there the running back,
they don't have to worry about Edmonds and David Johnson.
Drake is that guy Kyler Murray. I think Listen, he
struggled a little bit last month, but I think there's
a good spot for him. The Seattle Seahawks or twenty
(22:46):
nine in the league against the past. I told you
Houston against the past. These are teams that these are
matchups that we want to target. The other reason these
are matchups we want to target. Houston Tampa on Saturday,
forty nine is the total. New Orleans, Tennessee on Sunday
fifty and a half is the total, and then Arizona
Seattle at fifty one and a half is the highest
(23:06):
total of the entire weekend. Okay, I actually think Kyler Murray.
He gives you that rushing floor. You know, I like that.
I answered up Tommy guns with Josh Allen before because
of the quarterback rushing floor as well. I think Kyler
Murray is gonna have a big game on Sunday. I
really do. Okay. I think Russell Wilson they'll be able
to score. But I think I think a Kyler Murray
will keep it close. B I think he makes some
plays with his legs and see, I will take the points.
(23:29):
It is still ten. I believe I would take the
Cardinals plus the ten and Murray at is my DFS
quarterback for this week. Oh and by the way, you
know how this year and I was early and being like, oh,
I'll take Lamar. That's what next year. I'm telling you
right now, I'm pivoting to Kyler Murray. Second year quarterback
ability with his legs, second year in the scheme that
(23:53):
division's defenses none beside San Francisco am I worried about.
I'm to love Kyler Murray as my weight on quarterback
next year. I'm just saying, but in any event, at
running back in DFS, it's not getting too cute to
go with Boone because his price is okay. He made
plug and play all right. He would be the guy
(24:15):
if there's no Madison, And if there's no Cook you
may have to worry about a mirabdullah on passing downs right,
maybe vulturing some stuff. C J. Hamm vulturing. But Boone
would be the guy to carry the load. He's shown
that he can do it, and Green Bay is twenty
in the NFL against the run. I'm gonna go back
to the Miles Sanders train as well at running back
sevent my narrative, Listen as I teach the stats over
(24:39):
beat Cipher how to fish, not just giving you a fish.
One of the things I said was these rookie running backs,
if you have patience with them, they will deliver for
you at the end of the year. Guys like single
Terry Are, Montgomery are and so is Miles Sanders. He
had a big time game last week I told you
about it. I'm going back to him. Still no Jordan Howard.
(24:59):
I still think the Eagles are gonna want to establish
a run a little bit, and Sanders is viable in
the receiving game, especially with all of these pass catchers
banged up for Philadelphia. I like Miles Sanders at seventy
hundred at the wide receiver position. Here's the deal I'm
I'm giving you. I'm starting a guy like Boone at dred.
My tight end is low. My flex play that I'll
(25:19):
give you is a crazy dart throw. Why Because I'm
gonna spend up at wide receiver this week. I'm gonna
play de Hop at eight seven hundred. Alright. They're playing Tampa,
one of the worst defenses against the past. That secondary
is blunt, guts, trash, all right, and they have been
starting to force feed d Hop the ball in the
last five or six weeks. I believe he is wide
receiver two behind only Michael Thomas. I think that continues
(25:42):
when they need him in big games. I liked Hop
to come up big. You can't eight Michael Thomas either.
At nine thousand. All right, He's he's on pace to
set this record. They're looking to give it to him.
Tennessee is only against the past. I'm like, I don't
matter who they what they are, like, it's the past.
Michael Thomas is f a automatic these days, all right.
(26:03):
And then here's the other thing. I'm gonna go back
to this game. I got Kyler Mury right, I'm going
back the other way, and I'm gonna do it with
DK Metcalf. DK Metcalf has six plus targets or a
touchdown in his last eight games. He's starting to come on.
Remember now without Josh Gordon as well, there may be
some more opportunity there. I think Arizona can score. Will
(26:24):
Seattle be able to just stay run heavy or will
they have to throw some as well? Russell Wilson throws
a deep ball better than anybody in the NFL, And
I like DK Metcalf at only sixty this week. Cardinals
are last in the NFL against the past, alright, so
I like that at tight end. You know how everybody's
talking about Richard Perryman this week, Same logic people, Tampa
(26:48):
Bay is still gonna throw the ball a Ton James
is gonna throw for three fifty. Okay, mark it down
who's catching it. Harryman is some my DFS tight end
is also the other one. O. J. Howard at fifty hundred. Okay,
he is pretty cheap. We know about Houston against the past.
I mentioned it before, and listen, he has average. He's
(27:08):
averaged six targets in his last three games. That's more
than he had been in the earlier part of the
season when everyone realized that they dropped him and ran
away from him. I think you can go back to him.
He's the last man standing there with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And if you need a defense, I told you I'm
on this Kansas City defense there at fort undred, you
may want to if you spend more, you can go
(27:28):
with the Indianapolis Colts. Remember they're facing Will Greer in
his NFL debut. All right, in this Carolina team maybe
a little bit checked out Denver if you like they've
got Listen, Denver has been playing aggressive, good defense the
entire season under Fangio. And they get Detroit now with
what blow and like four running backs we don't know
what their roles are, and no really pass catchers besides
(27:49):
Golla Day left. That could be an interesting one. You know,
all the good defenses. Uh respond accordingly, you know. Um So, Danny,
we're gonna get these uh, we're gonna get these pictures
up because I got two finals that we're in that
I'm in, and you know, it's kind of like the
Royal Royal. We the stats over beat Cipher. Um oh,
(28:10):
but we got some calls as well, all right, so
let's do that. Um, let's do let's do the calls. Um.
I see our boy John g is on the line. Hey, John,
We're gonna take your call on the other side of
the break so we can talk to you about your matchup. Okay,
but let's take some calls here in a couple of minutes.
Let's go to Perry and CALLI. Danny would go to
Perry and CALLI. How can we help you here win
(28:30):
a championship when your leagues and win that cash. What's
going on, Perry? Yo? Jane Dilley, Dilley, how's it been doing?
Doing good? Perry doing good? How are you in some
championships this weekend. I'm in the ship this week thanks
to you. All right, That's what I hope. I'm I
hope I'm still in the finals for that hashtag game
of inches, But yes, I can wait for another day. Yes,
(28:53):
let's get that championship before the game of inches. One. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?
So what you got? Well, so I got two questions
for running back? I have three running backs with all
the news on Dalvin Cook. I have Boone Eckler and
DeAndre Washington. You gotta start, yeah, So I would go
(29:17):
and Boone at the running back position, all right, and
then for wide receiver, same league ptr. I have Perryman
in right now. Would you swap him for either Feeling
or Robert Woods or keep Perriman in there. I thought
you were gonna say, people that made it much easier.
Um wow? And would I really start Perryman over Robert Woods?
(29:41):
And who is the other one? God? Damn? You know
what I listen, I'm going to feeling. I gotta feeling.
And the reason why Perry is this running back situation? Right.
I think they may throw, they may do more in
the passing game. Load up on your vikings. Load up
on your vikings, Perry, go with Boone and go with theeling, alright,
(30:03):

but I hope you win. I would go boone Anckler,
and I would I'm put in feeling, I put in
theel in there. All right. Yes, I know what I
just said about Perriman, but this is Adam feeling alright,
like we're talking about Perriman against these other guys. But
(30:24):
Adam Theeland was probably like, you're like third round pick,
all right, and he's back. I would ride out feeling,

it and play for the rest? I think it's interesting
(31:49):
right now, fifty eight percent of you say that you
would not split the pot. You would play for it all.
Scared money, don't make no money. That's what W sixty
nine says at W sixty nine, All right, And then

say that you would split some and play for the rest. Danny,
can you put up please? Uh so, I'm in my
(32:09):
two finals I'm in my two finals. One of them
is my long term home league. Okay, my home dynasty league.
My boys all the way back from high school. We've
been doing this league for fifteen twenty years. I am
the Dynasty League. I am the back to back defending champion,
and I'm in the finals again. Put up the matchup
as the one it's on the in side. Do you
know what I mean? Yeaman against hold the door set
(32:32):

in my wedding. Danny, who's projected to win? Uh? You
I am? I am projected to That was the right answer, Danny.
By the way, Um, I am projected to win by
nine points. All right, you can take that off. Uh.
The other final I'm in is in what many of
(32:52):
you guys know, it's a pretty big buy in a
lot of experts in this league. It's the Fame Greenwich
Street Tavern League. We've talked about it a lot. Put
it on up. I am facing Mr Adam Rownus in
the final. Danny whose favorite to win? I'm gonna keep
the street going you yep? I am. So there you
(33:13):
have it. So Danny, should you can take that off?
So Danny, should I should I oftener chop the pot
in any of these? I mean, I wouldn't you wouldn't
you play for it all? But what if? So what
if I told you this, remember my home league, that
I'm a favorite to win? All right? Remember when I
told you I was two time defending champion in this league? Yeah?
(33:36):
What if I told you that each of the last
two years I beat the same guy in the final.
And it's the same guy who's in the final again
with me this year. I have beaten him in the
finals the last two years in a row. He's the
commissioner of the league. Okay, So I have to then
give him the trophy just so he can engrave my
name on it again. And I'm playing him again in
(34:00):
the finals. Is one of the groomsmen in my wedding,
one of my boys. Big shout out to Tom. Um.
Should I offer to chop the pot with him? Maybe
make him feel good? Uh? No? No? Alright, alright, alright, fine,
what about Ronan? Because that's more big money. That's like thousands, Alright,
We're talking thousands in the G S T League that
I stand to win. Um or do I just want
(34:21):
to go full out and try to take it down.
I mean, how confident do you feel in your team?
I mean I'm projected to win, you know what I'm saying.
But so we'll see. I think I'm gonna go for it,
you know. But let's look at the statue of Beats
League where we are in our finals and it is
going to be Tampa pick six, John G going again
the crypto tooker, and you know whose favorite to win
(34:42):
it is? John G. And John G joins us now
on the phone. What's going on? John? I gotta let
you know. Also we have like you know how my
show is nominated for fs w A Awards and stuff
I sunk in is my submission the episode you were on,
I think it was after week two of the season.
I sent that in as my submission for best Radio
(35:03):
show in the Industry. I really thought the segment we
did captured kind of the spirit of fantasy freestyle what
we do and the cipher. I thought it was a
good representation. You are favored to win the first ever
stats Over Beats League. So what you're just coming on
now to talk smack or do you actually have a question? John? Well, no,
I just kind of wanted yeah, here, yeah, here, you're
(35:25):
allowed to. So let me ask you this. Let me
ask you this. Are you holding true? I was last week.
I was like, listen, man, it was so amazing how
you said you are you wanted to split that first
place regular season money among me and Jilly Dilley. Now
you're in the championship, you stand to win another I
believe it's four hundred bucks or another one fifty if
(35:47):
you are ultimately the runner up? John, are you still
donating your regular prize regular season winnings to Jilly dilleyon myself? Well, Jilly,
Jilly told me on two separate a kid. Yeah for
me to keep it, but yeah, I think it all right.
Well we'll work this out. Brother. Man, I'm not trying.
(36:08):
I'm not in the business of taking other people's money.
But we'll figure it out. And it was a very
nice Listen, John, I gotta tell you something. I really
do appreciate your visit. I appreciate you and everybody in
the stats Overbeats League. Right, we did it for the
first time. I think the chat room liked it. We'll
try and make it even bigger next year. But man,
I'm gonna be uh, I'm gonna be hitting you up
next week because you are profiling to win this league
(36:32):
and when this cash, brother, man, what you're doing over
the holidays in Tampa, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
You know, family and I'll be working and you know, Okay,
you're feeling good about Derrick. Henry he's questionable. He's questionable
with that hamstring. Yeah, so I think he's gonna go.
I think listen. I know it's a tough matchup. I
(36:53):
know it's a tough matchup. But here's the deal. If
Henry is active on Sunday, you are starting Derek and
read John. You know what I mean, especially after the
month he's had. Right, He's literally helped carry you here.
And what are your other running backs that you would do?
Patrick Laird? You know I said you got carry on.
I think I think I'm pretty much I think you said, Bro.
(37:15):
Do I do feel to let down? With Henry and
the injury and the tough matchup, It's possible, but you
got some stars here, Bro. Your team has been a
boss Tyreek Hill. We've talked about a J. Brown coming on,
Michael Thomas, who's setting records, my guy, Austin ekeler O
j Howard in a prime spot Courtland Sutton, who has
been one of the best wide receivers, one of these
(37:35):
young wide receivers coming up, and you picked up Kenyan
Drake at the right time that to have him do it.
I really really like your team, John, and uh, you know,
thanks for being a great representation of the Stats over
Beat Cipher. Brother man had a problem. Good luck to
everybody this weekend for sure. Dilly Dilly to you, Dilly
Dilly to the crew, Diley Deley to the Stats over
Beat Cipher. Let's get a couple of more calls in
(37:55):
and guys, you know it's the holiday season. We can't
not have so tried and true members of the Cipher.
So let's go to Dan and Jersey flock time. What's
good brother man? What's going on? Bost Man? I heard
about your two leagues. Good luck man. Yeah, we'll see
what happens. We'll see what happens. I got another player
other spots where I'm playing for the third place money.
We'll take it, you know. But remember I got a
bachelor party in uh January, so it's all you know,
(38:18):
it's all going to that anyway. How can we how
about you? How about you. Let's when you're leaving with
that cash, what's going on? Definitely? Well yeah, uh three
finals nice and one consolation actually nice? Yeah, thanks man
out of five leagues, out of all, thanks you and
the and the cipher. Well hey, hey, you got off.
And here's the thing. What I'll also say, Dan, because
(38:40):
I know you asked me questions all the damn time, right,
but and I say it to you sometimes even on
social media, like I'll give you some of my insights,
but sometimes you have to trust your gut also, And
I say that, and sometimes like you can make them choices.
So it's not only up to the cipher. Don't just
completely outsource it out right. I'm sure you made some
tough calls to but le's here at some of the
(39:00):
decision points you have for sure for sure. Um So
I'm just kind of like filling on my line up
right now, the only one that's kind of a given
estap Kwan. But my quarterback situation is either um Urbiski
or Maddie Ice. I'd go Maddie Ice for the quarterback,
Maddie Eyes, Maddie I, Okay, wide receiver cup lock it
or um any two of them up lock it up,
(39:26):
lock it and Feeling from feeling two wide receivers. Um Um.
I think feeling is the one without a chair when
the music stops. Unfortunately, even though I just told somebody
else to start feeling, but lock it and Cupper above them,
I consider Feeling a wide receiver. At this point, we
(39:49):
can get back into the second cause I need a
flex to so my wide receiver to Washington Singletary and
Peterson Singletary. I really like Singletary even against the Patriots.
You know how I feel about these young running backs. Definitely, definitely, Um,
I think I'm gonna go with Mark Andrews from my
tight end over Hick. Sure, Everett Everett is practicing again.
(40:12):
Gerald Everett is practicing again. So watch that this could
be a severe change in the tyler higree, go with
the go with the known quantity. I agree with that, okay,
And then my flex in Washington. Let's get thel in
there also, Let's get thel in in there also. And
and and I'm gonna tell you Dan, and thanks for
the call. I'm gonna tell you and I'm gonna tell others. Okay,
(40:34):
I'm not saying this is like a strategic like numbers
driven best practice. I just like having people on Monday night.
I like having the last shot. I'd rather be like
I'm down by thirteen and I have feeling than being
like I'm up by something and I'm facing Aaron Rodgers
or whatever. I kind of like having the last punch.
So that's in tiebreakers, I go that way. So I
(40:55):
would go Adam feeling. Thanks for the call, dan Um,
the last call we have have And of course, how
can we have the phone lines open and not have
our guy? It's Connor and Tampa. So we had John
G and Tampa. We go back to Tampa. I should like,
I should run for office in the city of Tampa.
You know what I'm saying. We got John G. We
got Connor. Maybe they could be my campaign managers. Maybe
(41:16):
you know, uh, Connor, we bring him in now, Connor,
do they have any like local elections in Tampa? They
got any assemblymen, city council? Can you help me out?
Would you vote for me? They have whatever? Some research?
Maybe Tampa. Tampa is a very nice city, all right,
but how can we help you? Connor? So I'm gonna championship,
(41:39):
but it's not looking good so far. I got David
Cook of course, look like he's gonna play, and also
have Chris Gowan, he's already out, and I have Julio too,
so he might not play either. Julio's gonna play. Julio
is gonna yeah. So okay, So if they'll let me
get back to my mind, up here we go. So
my options right now. So I want to I'm gonna
makee my fame real quickly. Krik Cousins, Aaron Jones, Eckler, Julio, Donte, Adams, Waller.
(42:02):
I tell you inheritent bucker. But my question, Nor, who
do you? Who do you play? Run about RB two
between Austin Ekeler and Amirula and then a flex? What
do you play Parker? Mike Williams or Machete? Harryman or
(42:24):
Justin Wason? Is this PPR? This PPR? Yeah? Perryman, Harryman, Yeah, Arson, Yeah?
Quickly quickly, Connor, Um, what do you play? Fifty or
Kirk Cousins Cousins on Monday Night? I remember there's no
running backs. They're gonna throw this. That's why I think
(42:44):
boone out of the backfield is fine. But this is
gonna be feeling. This is gonna be irv Smith, Stefon Diggs.
I think they're gonna throw the ball a little bit.
Thanks for to call Connor. Thanks to everybody. Merry Christmas,
Happy Hanukah, happy Kwanza, whatever it is you celebrate. The
next time I see you guys is on freestyle at least,
I'm here Monday and Thursday. Next week. As usual, we're
gonna start to profile things like speeds versus the kids.
(43:06):
We got a whole lot of fun in the playoffs.
But let me put together a very quick parlay. Because
Saturday is for the boys and there is Saturday NFL action.
I like Houston in the first game. I'll lay the
points um even as the home dog, I believe right,
excuse me, the road. Uh, Tampa's the home dog, so
you're the Houston's on the road laying three. I think
(43:27):
Houston knows they need this game. I think James will
throw a bunch, maybe a lot of yards, but he
will also make some mistakes. I will give Houston the
look there. Then in this Buffalo game, listen, I've been
saying this. The first matchup was sixteen to ten. Patriots
blocked the punt and had four turnovers, and they knocked
Josh Allen out of the game and they won by six.
(43:52):
I think Buffalo covers here. All right, it's New England
minus six. I know it's in New England, but I
think Buffalo has gotten better so far this season since
that first meeting, and I think New England has gotten worse.
I also told you that New England's banged up in
the secondary over the slot where Cole Beasley is going
to be. I like Cole Beasley to have a big game.
I'll be on the Beasley prop bets on Saturday. And
(44:12):
then in the late game, the Rams were hot and
they laid negg in Dallas. Now they got to go
back to back road games, back into the Bay to
see San Francisco. I trust San Francisco to bring it.
I would lay the points. So on Saturday, I'm taking
Houston on the road, Buffalo is on the road with
the points, and I'm taking San Francisco at home. That
Buffalo New England game. I think it's gonna be a
(44:34):
very low scoring game as well. I like the under
in that one. Good luck to everybody, all right, this
is the week where you win your leagues and win
net cash. Hit me up on Patreon, hit me up
on Twitter. I'll be doing shows on Saturday and Sunday,
trying to respond to as many questions as possible, so
you could go ahead and bring it on home, all right,
(44:54):
but for Saturday, give me Houston, give me Buffalo with
the points, and give me San Francisco. And by the way,
that Buffalo New England game, I think it's gonna go
under the number, all right, under the number in game live,
Gabe Morancy takes this seat, but I just slide right
over there. We're gonna help you win some in game
live cast. You know, you can buy more egg nogg
(45:15):
and Chris Crankle and all that good stuff we out face.

some ways. I see my social media has flooded. My
Patreon is flooded with people that still need my advice,
still need ideas on start sits. Why because you're still alive?
Say it with me now to win your leagues and
when that cash so we'll be here for the next hour.
I'll open the phone lines earlier than usual. Okay, if
(46:25):
you want to, and you got a question for the
spitting statistician hall at me that I'm gonna call is
eight four, three, six, seven nine. Will open them up
a little bit earlier than usual so people can get
in their questions, um as they try to win a
fantasy championship. Okay, and speaking of Fantasy championship, our poll
question tonight, I've been hearing a lot of this this
week as well. If you're an opponent offers to split
(46:49):
the pot, what do you do? What do you do?
All right? I think, and I'd love to hear your
thoughts in the chat room on Twitter. Call in let
me know what do you do if your opponent offers
to split the pot. Do you A you're like I,
I'm down to chop it up. I'll lock in some profit,
cool BB like NAA, not scared money, don't make no money.
(47:10):
Let's go for the gusts though, like my man, the
parlay producer down in the pit says, or and which
is an idea I brought to the parlay producer downstairs?
Or do you decide like A, let's set aside that
we're gonna chop up this much and play for some
of the remaining you know what I mean? So instead
of being like a not a fifty fifty proposition not zero? Right?
(47:31):
But what if you make it? Then you split the
pot like you know something like that, right? Or do
you let the projections dictate what you do? Because remember
how I felt about the projections? Right. I was in
four semifinals, I was projected to win all of them.
I'm in two finals. Right, So we'll see you about that.
Let me know what you think. Here are the important
(47:51):
injuries you need to monitor or know about as practice
continues on this week. Al Right, First of all, the
big one you guys been hearing about this It is
Dalvin Cook. Okay, he is now doubtful. They are saying
to play on Monday Night football in a huge NFC
North Divisional matchup against the Packers on Monday Night Football.
And the reason this complicates things is not only is
(48:11):
Dalvin Cook probably out, but the backup Alexander Madison has
been dealing with a leg issue also. I think it's
an ankle and he didn't play last week. So in
the waiver whire, I told you on Monday to go down.
It was Mike Boone preseason kind of all star, you
know what I mean. But are you really gonna start
Mike Boone in your fantasy championship on Monday Night? I
(48:34):
don't know. It depends on your options. There's a couple
of people who have hit me up on social media
and I'm like, yeah, go ahead with Boone. Other people
are like should I start boon over? And it's like
a legitimate running back who helped get you there. Be
sure to follow all our social media at vants
