Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, everybody, Welcome into Fantasy Pros. I'm Ryan Warmley, joined
by Andrew Ericson Buddy. It's been a few weeks here.
I had some technical difficulties to sets build.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
In one week.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Then of course we had Thanksgiving week where we kind
of stepped away for a week to transition into the
new iteration of the show for the rest of the season,
which is going to be predictions based. We are, of
course past the trade deadline in every league. Besides, you know,
if you have a look at Dynasty League that has
some weird trade rules, maybe that's a little bit different.
But by and large, we're past trade deadlines in all
of our leagues, so we are rather than talking trades

(00:31):
ericson and buys and sells, we are talking predictions the
rest of the way.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
How excited are you for the rest of the show?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Super pumped to have you back on the show where
the dynamic duo is back, And honestly, I don't think
you missed much because one of the last recommendations I
gave on the Trade show was to buy Lamar Jackson,
so that has been an absolute disaster. However, Lamar, we're
going to talk about him today some of our predictions,
maybe he can turn around. That is a tease for

(00:59):
those at home and excited to obviously break down the
Ravens with you.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
What else are we going to do on the show?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
We were talking about this show and the way it's
going to work, just so everybody knows is we're gonna
go back and forth and we're gonna give our predictions
kind of going five to one roughly in that order.
We might kind of flub with that a little to
make it transition. Well, if we both are talking about
the same team, we might move on the order a bit.
But we're gonna end with our favorite bets of the week.
It's gonna be our hard rock best bets of the week.

(01:24):
That'll be every episode. That will be the one that
we are most wanting to kind of plant our flag on.
And we haven't really decided what we're going to do
as a competition, but we want to kind of go
head to head and see who does better.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Maybe we'll come up with some bet.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
We've got a team trip to New Orleans and January,
which we're looking forward.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
To as a company.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Maybe on that trip we can find something to do
for the fans that we can share with them and
turn this into some kind of competition. If you have
any ideas, let us know in the comments for sure
what you think we should be kind of putting on
the table here, ericson versus myself throughout these predictions. You
and I were talking before we started the actual recording
the show, Eric, and just kind of heading into week fourteen,

(02:01):
one week left in the you know, regular season in
most fantasy leagues, kind of how we're sitting here. This
is the first week where I have teams that are eliminated.
It's funny. I think I'm in like fourteen or fifteen
leagues this year, and there's only one that I'm eliminated in,
and the what I'm eliminated in, I have the fourth
most points in the league. It's just I've had terrible
luck and will not be making the playoffs, even though

(02:23):
my team has been pretty good this year.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You it sounds like are still alive everywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, basically sitting on seven to six teams across the board,
so just a little bit above average, hanging on to
that final playoff spot.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Potentially.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I got a few eight and five teams as well,
But it looks like Week fourteen where all systems go
still to try to fight for that playoff berth. And look,
everyone that's trying to fight for that last playoff spot,
you just got to get to the dance because once
you get there, anything can happen. It just takes one
guy going off for a couple of weeks that can
bring you a lot of success. And I think one

(03:00):
of the big themes we're gonna have with teams that
win leagues this year, and it's going to be for
the second year in a row. Bucky Irving again another
keys for a player that we're going to talk about
later in the show, but I think that with him
coming back with fresh legs after so much time missed
the Bucks schedule rest of season, I think Bucky Irving's
going to be a league winner two years in a row.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
By the way, these are going to be kind of
fantasy driven predictions, but then we'll sort of include a
prop with them that goes along like if we like
a player, Hey, he's going to finish, you know, as
a top twelve player at his position this week, here's
a prop we like with him. That'll kind of be
the format of the show, So there'll be a little
bit of betting talk mixed in, but it'll be still
primarily even though it's a predictions show, a fantasy driven show.

(03:43):
Here quickly ericson before we dive into our predictions. We
usually like to start off the show recapping Monday night football.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Doesn't feel like there's much here. The Patriots are the
much better.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I mean, it's a team that's now eleven and two
going up against you know, a team that's now.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Two and eleven.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
This is kind of the result you would have expected,
a blowout in favor of New England. Ramadre Stevenson did
get one more carry than trey Von Henderson. Henderson was
still much better, averaging almost twice as many yards per
carry as Ramandre Drake. May continues to fall short of
a three hundred yard passing game, but still is very
very good. You know, Jackson Dart returns just one hundred

(04:17):
and thirty nine yards and a touchdown. I mean, I
just don't feel like there's much to talk about here.
Do you do you have any point you want to
hit on before you dive into the predictions.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, Tyron Tracy got injured, so that's something that's kind
of noteworthy. When it comes to Hey, if you need
running back help. Devin Single Terry looks like the next
man up, and they've trusted him with a pretty significant
snapcher visual look pretty good against the Patriots defense last night.
Patriot's defense, especially against the run, hasn't been as good
because I've been dealing with some injuries to their interior.
Now both these teams are on buys.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I was going to say, it's hard to look at
that and go, oh, go pick them up when last
week of the regular season. So maybe if you're already,
like you know, settled into your playoff spot or something,
but you.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Got I will say that when I was writing my
Beyond the Waiverwaire article for week fourteen, one of the
best schedules rest of season for a guy that's going
to be on waivers after this week is the Patriots kicker.
So he is someone that, hey, if you already have
your playoffs all set up, ready to go at him
as a kicker because I think that he's got really
good matchups.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
He's been really good the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I know, I picked him up a couple of weeks ago,
and I've been riding him as well, So I feel
like that's a move that you can make if you're
feeling really good about your playoffs. But again, nothing else
is really super actionable. Yes, the Stevenson used it just
kind of annoying for Henderson, but you're not gonna bench
Henderson with all the great matchups he has after the
bye week. So Stevenson maybe just a guy that, hey,

(05:33):
he has a lot of upside if something were to
happen to Henderson and you get Stevenson back into that
bell cow role, so you feel great about that. And
then yeah, on the Giant side, you're not really using
again Wandale Theo Johnson as a tight end streamer and
Jackson Dart. One thing to note, no design runs last night,
so they did dial it back a little bit when
it came to the rushing. Now he can still scramble
at will, which is what he did. He was taken

(05:55):
hit after hit. But I would say that even with
the favorable schedule, that is something to note with Jackson Dart,
maybe we don't get as much rushing upside as we
did during the when Brian Dave always calling the plays.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Erickson's out here breaking down rest of the season kicker
schedules for you.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's that's the work.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
He's plan, that's the people need at this point. Again,
you can't make trades anymore, so you got to make
movies elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I am a big fan, and I would recommend this
to everybody, Like if you I have a couple of
leagues where I am like, like, I've already clinched the
buy or whatever. In those leagues, I am picking up
teams who have great defenses, in the leagues that have
defenses still, guys that have great matchups coming up in
the next few weeks, and dropping some of these bench

(06:39):
guys that I just know I'm not going to be
playing at this point in the season and I'm already
in the playoffs. If I already have a buy, then
the next two weeks are already covered. I am looking
at week sixteen and looking at week seventeen already and
picking up teams that are facing like the Titans or
whoever the worst offenses are that you can find that
have those defenses available. So I would recommend that to
everybody as well. Let's dive into our actual predictions here.

(07:01):
Ericson we had we hadn't talked for a couple weeks,
so we had to start off with little Ravens talk here,
You're gonna go first, but I've also got a Ravens
one here, kind of back to back, what's your first
prediction here?

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Ravens related for.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Us, Lamar Jackson finishes as a fantasy quarterback one in
Week fourteen against Pittsburgh Steelers. I could have gone more
of a Lobar, could have said, Hey, Lamar Jackson gonna
score ten fantasy points this week, which would have been
his highest over his last three games, because as anyone
knows been following football, it's just been a disaster for
Lamar Jackson and fantasy football.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Part of it has been he's not played well. Part
of it has been he's coming off the injury. Part
of has been the Ravens offense hasn't looked as good, etc.
There's a lot of reasons why. I would say, though
Lamar has also been running really cold. When it comes
to kind of like the variant side of things like
this is like one percentile type of outcome for Lamar
Jackson the last three weeks, where he hasn't just been
playing bad, it's been compounded with a lot of unluck

(07:58):
situations where last week right against the Bengals, Issaia. Likely
he's gonna score a touchdown. Nope, nope, plumps the ball
right at the one yard line. No touchdown for Lamar Jackson.
Say Flowers catches like a thirty five yard touchdown, No, nope,
coming back out a penalty. So like, everything's just been
working against Lamar Jackson in terms of, hey, can this
guy score fantasy points?

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Now?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
He has been struggling. If you look at his expected
fantasy points per game over the last three weeks, it's
fifteen point six. That's obviously nowhere near what we're expecting
from Lamar, but he's scoring negative twenty one points under expectation. Like,
it has just been so so bad that even if
Lamar just plays an average game against the Steelers, like
we're gonna get him back up to at least fifteen

(08:38):
to sixteen fantasy points where you're not pulling your hair
out that Oh my god, I can't believe I started
Lamar Jackson for the fourth consecutive week. I'm still gonna
continue to start Lamar Jackson. I think that with ten
days off, more extended rest, I think he can get
a little bit healthier. I don't think that the rushing
has been like totally obsolete. Now maybe you disagree with
me weren but I mean he's still been running six

(08:59):
or seven carries per game the last couple of weeks,
so I don't think that's really gone away. We know,
don't We know that they don't love to use him
or the goal line anyway. So again, the rushing touchdowns
haven't really been there. But this dude was almost a
lock every single week to throw for at least two
passing touchdowns. He had one of the longest streaks I've seen,
and then the last couple of weeks has been absolutely
non existent. So I think he gets back on track

(09:20):
here against Pittsburgh Steelers, seventh best matchup for quarterbacks. They
are twenty six in passing touchdown rate allowed this season,
So not only is it gonna finish as a fantas
QB one, he's also going to throw for over one
and a half passing touchdowns. Wor let's say you when
it comes to the Ravens and.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Steelers, I think you're wrong about this, Listen. I get
that the Steelers have maybe been a favorable matchup for
other quarterbacks, this is the one team that has all
well of them and the Chiefs are the two teams
that have always given Lamar Jackson fits. There has never
been a time where he looks just like super comfortable

(09:56):
against this defense. You could say that's just the AFC
north of it all, Like it's a rivalry game Ravens
Steelers is always close. You could say it's something that
Mike Tomlin's doing, you could say it's something in his
own head, whatever you want to say, Like this is
the one matchup like last year when the Ravens kind
of finally overcame their Steelers demons, it was very much
on the back of Derrick Henry in the running game.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
It was not on the back of Lamar Jackson throwing
the ball. It's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I saw a Ravens fan on Twitter that who I
follow say that Lamar had the Steelers game against the Bengals,
because that's what usually happens is he looks like the
better player, but he is so like all these stupid turnovers, fumbles, interceptions,
Like the Ravens played the way against the Bengals last week,
the way they usually play against the Steelers and lose
a game.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
They should have won.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
And I'm not convinced that this offense is capable of
putting it all together right now.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You talked about Lamar coming off the injury.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
He's not off it. He's clearly still injured. There's a
degree of being hobbled in his game right now. I
mean he has been on the on the practice report
for hamstring, mee, ankle, and toe all in the last month.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's just like he clearly does not have the same.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Level of elusiveness. I do think he is still pretty fast.
It's the start, stop, the deceleration, the elusiveness in the
pocket that is I think very obviously missing, and it's
just throwing off everything.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Also, this offensive line is not good.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Sixty percent of the offensive line is having a terrible year,
and Lamar is not able to overcome it in the
way he has been in the past. So I really
worry about how he is going to finish in this game.
From a fantasy perspective, I don't see this as the
turnaround spot for Lamar and this offense in general. Honestly,
just the way they've looked now, the Steelers defense is

(11:38):
really truly quite bad, but so is the Bengals defense,
and that didn't matter last week because of just the
way the Ravens offense has.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Performed really all year long. It feels like so I
am against this and to.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
That point, my prediction here is the Ravens are going
to outgain the Steelers in yardage. They're going to look
like the better team, but they're not going to get
in the end zone. Whether it's because of turnovers when
they get close or because are settling for field goals.
I think they are going to fail to score touchdowns
despite out performing the Steelers, and they're going to trail
most of the game. I do think the Ravens still
end up winning, but I don't see this as a
Ravens like kind of get right performance in the way

(12:13):
the Steelers defense perhaps was for the Bills a week ago.
I think this is a game where the Ravens still
come away even if they win. In our first place
in the division after this week, I think Ravens fans
and Lamar Jackson fantasy managers are going to come away disappointed.
If anybody is going to have a big game, I
would lean Derek Henry more than Lamar. And because of
all that what I just said, I'm taking the Ravens
under twenty four and a half on the team total.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, somebody in this game, whether Steelers or Ravens, has
to bounce back in some way, shape or form, because
both teams are coming off really bad losses. Just Ina,
I mean the Buffalo Bills, could they just they didn't
do anything else?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Said on the football They run the same play over
and over and over again.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
DJ Watt was in shock that, Wow, they just kept
running the exact same play at us and we couldn't
stop it.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
By the way, Derek Harmon is out again this upcoming
week for the Ravens, which really helps Derrick Henry. So yeah,
if the Ravens offense proves me wrong, and I just
think it'll be the run game, I don't think it'll
be Lamar throwing multiple passing touchdowns. I we were talking
a little bit. There's been some conversation about Lamar being

(13:22):
really overrated. We don't have enough time to get into
all the reasons why I disagree with that, but I
just want to say, like him having a bad month
when he's really injured and is having playing behind a
terrible offensive line, and just like has given us so
much fantasy greatness the last six and a half years

(13:44):
since becoming a starter, We're not going to give him
the grace of a bad month. I think that's ridiculous,
Like you would have set aside the playoffs conversation, Like
I have my own thoughts about how overblown some of
that narrative is, but that's its own separate conversation. Like
he has been so good for us for so long
in the regular season that I like, and by us
I mean fantasy managers, that I don't think you can

(14:06):
you can hold this month too badly it gets and
when it's.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Clear he is not at full.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Strength, nobody wants to be patient. Everyone just wants the results.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Nobody cares the context of the certain matters. I would
say to add something to your point about the Ravens
team total going under last ten games between the Steelers
and Ravens, how many of those games do you think
I've gone over the entire game total?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh? I would guess like one or two, Like I
don't think it happens often.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yep, last nine have gone under the total.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
So chances are at least one of these teams are
going to fall short of their team total. You're picking
the Ravens. I would probably opt for in the Steelers
because again, vibes aren't gat around the Ravens. They might
be worse for the Pittsburgh Steers who are going on
the road.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I do like they're under, like the overall under at
forty three on hard Rock bet too, Like that would
be my lean up. This game is the under because
I think both offenses will certainly struggle.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I don't think this.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I think it's been like over a month since the
Steelers completed a pass greater than like thirty yards or so.
I forget what the exact number is, but like they
are they it's like a wild stat We do have

All right, Ericson, Let's get to our number four predictions here?
What do you have for us?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Rona Gaston's going to disappoint this week? Tough matchup against
the Philadelphia Eagles. Question marks around quarterback Justin Herbert still
don't know if he's going to play. Recording this on Tuesday,
we don't get a practice report on a Monday night
football game till Thursday at the earliest, so we'll all
find out together what the status of Justin Herbert is.
But even if Herbert is upright and playing gas, it's

(16:00):
been kind of disappearing over the last couple of weeks.
So held the one catch for twenty seven yards in
this past game. He did get tackle the two yard line,
so there was a chance that he could have scored.
But I think that's really the bet you're trying to
make with Gatston is that, Okay, can he find the
end zone? Because he's been under forty two yards in
three straight games, no more than three receptions in any
of those particular games. Now, game script has not been

(16:21):
favorable for Gadston because the Chargers were just playing in
like blowouts. Whether they're blowing out the other team or
they're getting blown out by another team, it's the Chargers
in the basically the Chargers how they used to be
before Hardabah showed up, where you had no idea what
to expect from this team. And I look up the
matchup against the Eagles brutal one star matchup on the

(16:41):
Fantasy Pros matchup tool. The Eagles are allowing the second
fewest yards to tight ends the season thirty two point
four per game. Only two tight ends have gone past
forty three yards against them this season, third fewest fantasy
points allowed to tight ends. So I think it's gonna
be another tough sledding for Gatston, just after what's happened

(17:03):
to Herbert the matchup and the fact that he hasn't
been nearly as involved as he was to start the
year when he came out of the gates blazing hot.
But then we saw Okay Johnston comes back, Keenan allen
Stone involved lat McConkey a lot of miles to feed,
and that's why I'm concerned about him. I don't know
if he's just an outright bench because he still has
a lot of upside like we've seen, and that doesn't

(17:24):
necessarily even again almost regardless of matchup. But when I
just look at the peripherals of this particular spot for him,
I think that he's probably gonna finish under his receiving yards,
even if he ends up salvaging a day with a
touchdown score.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Like again, he came very close last week.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
So we can take the under out his receiving arts
prop they're not They're not dropped yet, So I kind
of looked at some of his older props forty seven
and a half receiving yards. I would probably bet this
down to forty two and a half receiving yards or
something along those lines. So we'll all find out together
what the final receiving yards line is. But it's gonna
be low, and I think I still want to gravitate
towards the under on it because it's just a bad spot.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah yeah, I mean, like you said, he came out
so on fire when he first broke out that it's
kind of hard to realize that. Like he hasn't scored
double digit Fantasy points since Week eight, he still ranked
his tight end eight in ECR. Some of the names
around him, like Kyle Pitts is one spot ahead of him,
Mark Andrews is right behind him, Harold Fannin, Colson Lovelin,
Juwan Johnson are all kind of in those next few

(18:22):
behind Gadsden. It kind of speaks to the state of
the position that he has been struggling as much as
he is and is eighth. Also he's George Kittle would
be ahead of him, but is on by this week,
So that kind of knocks out somebody who you know,
kind of bumps everybody up a rung.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
But yeah, I want to be avoiding him.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's you mentioned the matchup already, but if you look
like at the matchup rankings in the expert consensus rankings,
it's like all the names around him are two. Trede
McBride has it two. Everybody else is like three four
four three four.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Gadson's a one.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like it's a really really bad match to your point,
as bad as it gets.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, I think this is I think this is good.
I don't disagree with this one at all. I think
it's a good call. I do you.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
I think there's a better chance that he gets it.
I think to your point, I think the best chance
he gets a score.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Then he goes over his receiving yards. I think that's
my ultimate point.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, And that's why it's hard for me to just say, okay,
just bench him out right, because he has flashed a
really high ceiling at times this year, and that still
exists regardless of the matchup. I think if Herbert doesn't play,
I think that becomes okay, we can just bench Gatson.
Whereas a player that I'm looking at someone that you
might get off waivers this week. Who has a better

(19:43):
chance of scoring this week, Gatson.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Or Darren Waller.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Right, Like Darren Waller, we already saw him play the
Jets this year. He he scored twice. Like that defense is
not good. So again we'll see where Gatston settles in
with the ECR rankings. I don't think that he's gonna
move any higher than tight end eight. But if we
can need to get positive steam on Darren Waller again
led the team of receiving yards last week. He's got

(20:07):
a ton of touchdown equity. I mean, look, I get Waller.
Waller is good when he's healthy, right and right now
he's healthy again. I know he missed basically the most
of the season, but that might be something that if
you're a Gadsden manager you don't feel like dealing with
the Herbert Trey Lance experiment. Whatever ends up happening, Darren
Waller might be a good pivot play there because I

(20:27):
think he also has a lot of upside, which is
the game of the game.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
When it comes to tight ends.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
My next prediction, Patrick Mahomes, sticking in the same division
as Gadsden, will finish with his worst game of the season.
He will be outside the top twenty quarterbacks in fantasy
is my prediction here. It's obviously been up and down
as an offense for the Chiefs this year. You know,
largely you know, from Mahomes, especially better of a fantasy

(20:54):
performance than it was the last couple of years. But
it's still been kind of inconsistent. And now they get
the Texans. The Texans defense has been unbelievable. They completely
shut down Josh Allen.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
A couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
They held the Colts to sixteen points, and the Colts
of obviously been really good at times. Yeah, the Colts
was in the last game twenty to sixteen. In fact,
if you go back, setting aside that Jags game, which
was kind of a weird, you know, fluky performance there
in Week ten. Since Week seven, they have not allowed
twenty points in a game. That Jags is the only

(21:27):
exception to that.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's been.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
They held the Niners to fifteen, the Broncos to eighteen,
the Titans to thirteen, the Bills to nineteen the Colts
to sixteen. This is a really really good defense, arguably
the best defense I think. I think it is the
best defense in the NFL. It's like them, or the
Seahawks maybe, or the Broncos. There are a few good defenses.
I think this is the best. And they have been
absolute hell on earth for opposing offenses in general, but

(21:53):
especially opposing quarterbacks. So I think Mahomes is a terrible day.
Even with four teams on by this week, I think
Mahomes still does not get inside the top one. I
was gonna say he's gonna finish outside the top twenty four,
but with so many teams on by, I was like,
I can't go that that far. But I'm trying to
be bold here with these. They're not bold predictions, they
are just predictions. But I'm trying to not just take
the easy way out with some of these. So I'm

(22:14):
going to say outside the top twenty for Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Has he I'm not sorry if if you said this,
has he finished outside of the top twenty. No, right,
He's finished top twenty every single week because this movie
is worst game.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Like you said, I think he has let me double check, Yes,
he So he was QB twenty in week three, and
he was QB twenty two in the Buffalo game in
Week nine, and those are the two times that he
is not at every other game he's been QB fourteen
or high. Yeah, so those were the two bad ones.
So I think he might finish higher than QB twenty

(22:48):
two just because there's four teams on by, but I
think it'll be his lowest like points total output as
a fantasy quarterback.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Look, we saw the Texans make Josh Allen look like
I had no idea what he was doing right at
quarterback because of how good they are defensively, and you
look at the other side of the ball, She's have
a good defense. Right this game, when the Texans take
the field, you're not getting points Like It's just not

(23:15):
what happens in these types of games. They're the number
one teams in terms of playing towards the under the
season in terms of total points. Now, while that's because
they're playing AFC South teams, but in the overall, Texans
games do not become shootouts. Chiefs games, this game is
at home, correct, the Chiefs are playing at Arrowhead.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I believe that's correct. Let me double check just to
make sure I'm not. I think you're right. Yes, it
is at Arrowhead. Yeah, it's Sunday night football.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah, the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
When I play at home, these games tend to be
lower scoring as well. And I think that another trend
that I thought was really interesting this year that I
kind of latched onto. I coined it the the Lasso lag,
which was essentially, after offenses faced the Dallas Cowboys, they
were almost always worse the following week, and those numbers

(24:04):
were always bloated because oh man, this team just like
totally lit up the Dallas Cowboys and then they play
somebody else and they don't look nearly as good. I
think you see that compounded here with Patrick Mahomes again
coming off a monster game, one of his best of
the season against the Dallas Cowboys, which was one of
the few games this year that the Chiefs have actually
played indoors. So it was kind of the perfect runout

(24:25):
for Mahomes on Thanksgiving where fast game script, dome conditions,
airing the ball out, everybody's cooking, and now you're getting
the total other end of the spectrum where you're facing
this elite.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Houston Texans defense.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
So I agree with you, And I know in one
of my leagues super flex, I have Drake Mang, I
have Jackson Dark, and I have Patrick Mahomes as my
three quarterbacks. Two of them are on bye weeks and
one of them has the worst matchup you can so
not looking forward to that particular spot. But yeah, especially
with four teams on by Mahomes, made tough to guide
a bench somebody that you're gonna have to adjust your

(25:02):
expectations on Erickson.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Do you know what his passing yard line is on
hard rock? Bet? I can't believe this.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
It's probably too high.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's two forty five and a half. There's no chance,
I mean there's a chance he's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Ye, that's true. Never, but there's whenever you drop them,
there's no way.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that, but but I love
the under, Like I don't know if he think gets
two hundred in this game, Like I genuinely think the
Texans defense is that good to forty five and a
half like that is my prop is under that. I
would also go under one and a half touchdowns. I
mean I would go under as a prop passing attempts
or thirty four and a half.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I think he goes under that.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Like I I just don't see this game playing out
where he's throwing a ton and completing a ton of
passes and like any of that. I'm I just think
it'll be a very very poor game for him.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
And you didn't mention this either, but they have multiple
offensive line injuries.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yep across and this is not pass rush want to
have offensive line problems against.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Trey Smith has banged up, Simmons is banged up, Taylor's
banged up, Like yeah, so that that is a tough
draw for Mahomes. You're hoping that he just uses his
legs what they which is what he tends to do
in like the playoffs, and that's how he kind of
gets his points because we know the Chiefs when push
comes to shop, they're going to drop back to throw
forty times like no matter what it takes, because they
will abandon the run quicker than any other team when

(26:20):
it's kream hunt as I have a checko. So that
is the one thing I think that maybe you get
as a Mahomes fantasy managers, Hey, we can get some
just sheer volume out of it to kind of grid
our way to maybe fifteen, sixteen, seventeen fantasy points.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
If there's one bet on the over, I like co
mahomes this week, it's rushing yards at twenty one and
a half. That would be the one. If I had
to take one. It's not I don't love it. It's
not like all the bigga sprint and go, like put
bet the mortgage on it. But if I had to
pick one, that's the one. I like, all right, let's
go to your number three prediction here.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Justin Jefferson finishes inside the top twenty wide receivers against
the Washington Commanders. Man, I can't believe we're reached a
point where it's kind of like a prediction to make
Jefferson a wide receiver two.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
But I was gonna give you a hard time about it,
Like I don't think you're wrong that it is actually
kind of a prediction, Like like I'm not saying this
is an invalid one, but like Justin Jefferson top.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Twenty, Like, yeah, we can do a little better than that,
don't you think.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I mean, I did my weekly rankings, and I'm pretty
sure I have him.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Either wide receiver one territory, so he's in there. So
I mean I wanted.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
You to get to like top fifteen, top twelve, something
like that, like twenty.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
My favorite thing about the show is it's not bold predictions.
But if you don't come on with the bold prediction,
then you get ridiculed by the other analyst and host.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Basically, well, it's funny, like I'll let you finish before
I get into vine. But my prediction, because it's in
the same game, is Chris Rodriguez is a top twenty
running back, And it's just funny to look at those
two names next to each other, like these are equivalent predictions.
Is Chris Rodriguez top twenty at his position, justin Jefferson top.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Twenty his position?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
It just sounds ridiculous, but you're it's not a bold
Predictions show.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Maybe we could make this one ahead to head where
we just do straight up half PPR points. Who outscores
we scored points Jefferson or Rodriguez. So maybe that's a
fun way we can do a twist on this one.
But last week, Jefferson hit rock bottom with Brosmer or
as I like to call him, Bro Brosmer, just absolutely
terrible game from the former und drafted rookie quarterback from Minnesota.

(28:25):
Jefferson had two catches for four yards. He actually had
a really bad target share as well. It was significantly
worse than it was with JJ McCarthy. At least with
McCarthy we were seeing all the air yards high end
target share over thirty percent, just twenty percent in this game.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
T J.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Hawkinson was the one.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Guy that actually saw the boost with Brosmer under center
six for six fifty nine yards. Addison was a target
leader with ten targets. That being said, McCarthy has now
accelerated through the concussion protocol just like that. So nope, nope,
he is coming back because Brosmer was not the guy,
and I would expect that now Jefferson in a really
wrong matchup at home against the Commanders, I think that

(29:03):
he's going to bounce back here.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
We know that the volume in.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
The air yards, the high value opportunities are going to
be there for Jefferson. Just a matter of hey, can
JJ McCarthy be any sense of efficient? Now it's not
really about him taking this massive leap, but it's the
fact that while they're playing the Washington Commanders defense, and
this is a defense that has faced back quarterbacks before,
and those quarterbacks are able to rise above it and

(29:26):
be more efficient. It's not playing at Lambeau against the
Green Bay Packers, it's not playing at Seattle. So I
like this matchup for Jefferson to kind of get back
into that wide receiver two range. Like I talked about,
where is the actual upside with him? I talked about
this on the Rank Show last week. Where Jefferson has
zero top eight finishes this season, zero twenty point games.
I don't know if he really has a really really

(29:47):
high ceiling just within the confines of what it's like
to be attached to JJ McCarthy. But if he's ever
going to bounce back, especially after hitting rock bottom last week,
it has to be this week against the Washington Commanders.
And I would say too, the prop that I'm kind
of throwing in here is Jefferson going over sixty and
a half receiving yards. This has to be one of
the lowest receiving yard props he's had since he entered

(30:07):
the NFL. I would be very interested to see like
what it was when he was like a rookie, essentially,
because I feel like that's the number that we're working
with here. I was actually trying to guess what it
would be before the lines actually got posted this morning,
I thought it was gonna be around like fifty seven
and a half fifty eight and a half up to
sixteen and a half receiving yards officially on hard rock Bet.
But if you look at what Jefferson has done at

(30:28):
home this year, and fours five home games, he has
actually gone over this number, two of which were with
actually with JJ McCarthy as the quarterback.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
So I know it's been bad.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I know it's been rough, but matchup's too good, spot's
too good to improve for McCarthy coming back as the quarterback.
So you gotta start Jefferson, and I think that you're
going to get a strong game from him.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I like the plus nine hundred first touchdown scorer for
Jefferson on hard rock Bet actually quite a bit. I
think if the Vikings get down close, I think they
kind of want to see Jefferson and like get going
and have a blow up game if it's possible, like
like I think that that, I think they will be
motivated to try and get him a score early in

(31:08):
this game against a bad defense.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like everything you said, So plus nine.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Hundred, like that's pretty darn good odds for somebody of
Justin Jefferson's skill set and talent. So I actually kind
of like that quite a bit. It is hard for me, like,
where are you actually ranking him?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Did you say? You said it's like close to wide
receiver one range.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
I think he's right at thirteen for me, he's on
the CUSP, he's.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Fifteen in ECR.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
But like right behind him, say Flowers, Like I definitely
like Justin Jefferson better than say Flowers.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Oh we know anybody better than say Flowers.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Let me ask you this, Justin Jefferson or Meca Buka,
who has been really bad lately.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, I think that I did put Jefferson above Abuka.
I think that's probably where I'm a little bit different
than ECR is. I could see the both arguments, but
both guys have been inefficient essentially on pretty good target
volume air yards, like I said before, usage essentially. But Jefferson,
to your point, I think that you do get a
little bit of a narrative here with him, where no,

(32:10):
we're gonna jam targets to Jefferson, We're gonna get him
going and get the home crowd going. Jefferson's back jettas
all the good vibes, especially when it's against the Commanders.
It's a matchup that they know that even a quarterback
like McCarthy, no like you can take advantage of this
really bad defense, especially in their secondary. So we know
the Viking season's kind of lost at this point. The
only thing that they need to do is just hey,
can McCarthy be the guy? Like, just evaluate him, give

(32:32):
him opportunities and maybe a week off helped him, right.
You know, we saw this with Bryce Young after he
got benched after playing just so bad. Now it's a
little bit different because he missed the game because of
an injury. But who knows, maybe he can come back
a little bit less pressure on him, and it is
the Commanders.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
So my predictions on Chris Rodriguez in this game his
first touchdown score on hard Rock bez plus five seventy five.
His odds are significantly shorter than Justin Jefferson, which is hilarious.
I like Chris ardrig to finish as a top twenty
running back in Fantasy this week. This is actually, you know,
something of a prediction because he is not ranked inside
the top twenty on ecr unlike Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
He's already twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
This week, and he's somebody that like has kind of
taken over this backfield. Of course, he has been finding
the end zone like he did in this last game.
He has a touchdown in four of his last six games,
so this has been kind of a thing. The Vikings
run defense has not been that good. I'm not saying
that Rodriguez is gonna come in here and have a
top five week and you know, finished with over one

(33:31):
hundred yards for the first time this season or anything
like that. But I do think he gets in the
end zone, and I do think with four teams on
by he finishes inside the top twenty at the position,
which he has only done once this season. It was
against Seattle, very good defense. Back in Week nine. He
already had sixty yards in a touchdown. I think we
get something similar. I think we get like sixty yards
in a touchdown from Rodriguez in this game.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Ericson, I think this is a good one.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
He has been carving out that lead role in the
Commander's backfield. It does get a little bit scary because
they still like to use multiple guys. So even though
Jakoory Krossky Merrit has kind of taken the back seat.
He still gets a handful of touches here and there.
We know that they like to use Jerry mcmcnichols a
little bit as well, especially in pass catching situations. But
I think for the most part, when it comes to

(34:18):
if Rodriguez gets there, he's gonna.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Score a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
And that's definitely the guy that they're leading on tours
when they get into the red zone. So I think again,
if he finds pay dirt twice, you're cashing this one.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Let's go to our number two predictions each.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
What do you have gonna go with?

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Chase Brown goes over one hundred yard from scrimmage for
the seventh straight game. He's on a six straight game
heater with one hundred yards from scrimmage, and he was
good again on Thanksgiving fifteen carries for seven eight yards,
seven catches for thirty five yards. And I know that
I don't just speak for myself watching that game with

(34:57):
everybody watching in prime time samaj p Ryan, Dude, like
this guy was on the field so much in that game.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
I was thinking, is Chase Brown injured, Like, what is
going on here? Did he piss off Zach Taylor in
some way at the thanks getting different table? What is
the deal here? But the snaps ended up actually being
sixty percent Chase Brown forty Samaje pe Ryan, And this
was always kind of in the range of outcomes with
p Ryan coming back. Now, anytime a guy comes back
from an injury, sometimes you don't get them back into

(35:28):
their full roles, and in this case we did. Before
pe Ryan's injury, this backfield was more of a sixty
to forty split, especially when it came to the snaps. However,
Chase Brown had been heating up anyway. He's still been
really efficient, and I think that although pe Ryan is
going to stay involved, especially on third downs, which we
just don't see Chase Brown play a lot of, Chase

(35:49):
Brown has just been so efficient, like he's looked super
explosive as both a rusher and receiver. And again, it
hasn't only been p Ryan not being there that has
been the reason why Chase Brown has been so He's
just playing significantly better. You have Joe burrowback, which is
obviously giving a massive boost to the entire offense, and
I think The thing that's really the most important selling
point is they're playing the Buffalo Bills. Right This team

(36:12):
gave up i think an RB one performance to Sean Tucker.
They gave over over two hundred yards from scrimmage to
Devon a Chan a couple of weeks ago as well.
So although the Bills defense did play a little bit
better against the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, that's the Pittsburgh Steelers
offense again. So I think Chase Brown can continue to
stay on a hot run, even if he is still
kind of seeding some touches to Samaje ap Ryan. I

(36:32):
don't think it's going to be quite enough to get
me off of him against the Buffalo Bills. And when
we look at his prop, it's actually seventy six and
a half rushing and receiving yards, so it's significantly lower
than what he's been hitting at a really high rate at.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
One hundred yards from scrimmage.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
So we don't even need to get to the century
mark for Chase Brown to go over his prop, which
is seventy six and a half rushing and receiving yards,
which I really really love against the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I love it too.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
I think this is a great call. I also like
his rushing yardage total is fifty one and a half.
I like go over that against the Bills run defense
of all teams. I totally am with you on this.
I like the combined over seventy six and a half.
I like the over on fifty one and a half
rushing as well, So I'm like super on board here

(37:16):
and to that point, I'll loop into my prediction, which
is also about this game. I think Josh Allen and
Joe Burrow give us the shootout we've been waiting for.
I think the Bills and Bengals combined for over seventy
points in this game, so obviously, I like the over
on fifty one and a half on hard rock bet.
I think they combined for over seventy points. I think
this game challenges to be the highest scoring game of
the NFL season so far. I think I meant to

(37:37):
look this up. I think it's the forty to thirty
seven Cowboys Giants game is the highest scoring game so far.
I could miss I could be forgetting another one. We
can look that up later. So that's why I didn't say,
like this will definitely go be the highest scoring but
I think it challenges for that.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I think it gets close.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Like I said, I think the combined for over seventy points,
and I think Alan and Burrow throw a lot of touchdowns.
I like Chase Brown to get a lot of yardage,
which is why I agree with yours. But I think
when the it comes to the scoring, it's gonna be
a lot of passing touchdowns and I think Alan and
Burrow are going to combine for at least six touchdowns.
So the prop here is really just the over on
the game over fifty one and a half and that

(38:15):
it's gonna be a big shootout. But I think Chase
Brown plays into that right Like I think I think
he's gonna have a big game. I think everybody in
this game is gonna have a big game. I think
this is the one we've been waiting for. Again, Like
it's two defenses that are not good, partially due to injury,
partially due to the Bengals being the Bengals. It's two
quarterbacks that I feel like are kind of due Like

(38:35):
Alan had that game against the Bucks a few weeks ago.
Burrow of course kind of shaking off the rust a
bit against the not that he was terrible against the Ravens,
but like obviously the Ravens kind of handed that game
to them. I think this is like both of them
kind of like at full strength, just a huge, huge
shootout potential. I think everybody in this game blows up.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Honestly, you're gonna get no pushback for me.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
The only thing that I will add is I need
to take the l on Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Last week, I was much lower on consensus than Joe.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Burrow, and he finished exactly where ECR had him pegged,
right around that QB ten QB nine range. And I
just I was so impressed by what I saw from
him with so much time off, and I'm honestly lucky
that he didn't score more Fantasy points, to be totally honest,
like he left some production on the table. I think
that when I looked at his expected Fantasy points in
the game against the Ravens, he was closer to like thirty.

(39:27):
So I was lucky that he's still finished eighteen to
nineteen points and didn't totally bury me in the advice
I gave last week. But if you have Burrow, you
stashed him, you added him off waivers, locked and loaded
like rest of the way with a fantasy QB once,
So you're feeling great about that, and you should have
no hesitation starting him this week and rest of the season,
especially if they get t Higgins back. Higgins was still

(39:47):
concussion protocol on December first, on Monday, so that's a
little concerning just given that they played on Thursday. Usually
you see these guys get out of the protocol a
little bit sooner with extra time. But if he gets
him back, yeah, we're going to see a scoring bonanza
here between two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
I think that's something that's really interesting too when you
look at it from a betting perspective.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Each of the last five.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Games between the Bills and Begals has actually gone under
the total, And that to me isn't oh no, like
this is gonna be the sixth game in a row.
This is, oh no, They're due for a fifty monster
monster game.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Like.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
That's the way that I'm reading this particular trend. So
I agree with you, and I think that when we
look back on this prediction more and we're gonna be like,
all right, where I'm like totally nailed it. Seventy points
hit you over easily, but Alan had two rushing.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Touchdowns, so you were spiritually correct.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
As we like to always talk about on this prediction show,
is like you weren't technically correct, but like spiritually when
Josh Allen rushed for three touchdowns, because nobody on the
Bills actually gets passing touchdowns thrown to them because they
just use twelve thousand different receivers, I will still give
you credit.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
I want to be clear that, as the host of
this show and who ultimately is the one key piing
score of this I will be counting spiritually correct. I Uh, yeah,
It's just it feels like it feels like we are
past you for like two of these mount rushmore like
current quarterbacks to like really just go off against each other,

(41:12):
and I think it happens here. So I'm glad to
hear that you are an agreement with that.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
By as long as we get the weather, need the
weather to hold up, because I know that we've seen
snow and wind and it's in Buffalo, so like that's
always that's a concern. But as long as we get
like not just totally crappy weather, then yeah we should
we should see points here.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
The total has gone up. It's now fifty two as
our rock bet Pyot.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Not the highest of the week though, Dallas Detroit is
sixty four and a half, which is.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
Well, no one's a course field, baby.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
I think that's the highest I've seen as a total
this year. Fair fair on that one. Now it's time
for our hard rock best Bets of the Week, presented
by hard Rock bet ericson what is your hard rock
best bet of the week?

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Tease it earlier in the show that Bucky Irving is
going to be a league winner for the second year
in a row, and that starts and continue us against
the New Orleans Saints this week. So my hard rock
best bet is Bucky Irving gonna finish as a RB
one this week in Week fourteen, because he's going to
rush for over sixty nine and a half rushing arts
against the Saints over seventy rushing yards. However you want

(42:14):
to shake it with Bucky Irving. It was his first
game back after a long absence. He played fifty four
percent of snaps, but he went back to kind of
Bucky Irving belcow status. Seventeen carries for sixty one yards
he had along with thirteen two gaps for twenty yards.
He had a long of twenty, so he's ripping offs
some explosive plays kicks. She also scored from inside the
goal line at the one yard line, but it came

(42:34):
back on a holding penalty. So I still think that
Bucky Irving is he's slated for a strong run here.
He has fresh legs because of all the time missed.
We're not really seeing him lose out on work to
Rashad White or Sean Tucker. Rashad White still kind of
dabbling on passing downs, but besides that, it really is
Bucky Irving as the main guy, and they're facing the
New Orleans Saints. Fourth most rushing arts allowed to running

(42:57):
backs this season, over one hundred and ten rushing yard
arts per game. Nothing but smooth sailing for Bucky rest
of season. So I think he starts to go on
RB one tear here. And despite the fact he has
not scored a lot of touchdowns. I think they said
in the broadcast last week was the first game he
has scored all season. I want you to just double
check me on that worm. But I think that that
streaks can continue here. So he's gonna keep scoring touchdowns.

(43:19):
He's gonna be rmby one. He's gonna rush for at
least seventy yards against the Saints.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
He caught a touchdown in Week one and in Week four.
This was his first rushing touchdown this season.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Nuts, who would have said that Week thirteen is gonna
be Buckering's first rushing touchdown.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I mean he didn't miss like eight games so or
seven games to take? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
My hard Rock best bet of the week is that
the Eagles absolutely smashed the Chargers on Monday Night. I
think they easily cover minus three in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
That's what it was.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
I haven't checked to see if that line moved at all.
That was the initial line that I saw was minus three.
Let's just double check quickly here. Since this is my
best bet of the week, I want to make sure
it is accurate, and oh it's actually caught down. It's
now minus two and a half on hard right.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
I don't even give a hook anymore.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Let's go even better. I love it.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
I think the Eagles are gonna like just destroy the
Chargers in this game. Obviously, we've talked a lot about
LA's offensive line injuries and issues, like the Eagles have
a great defensive line, AJ Brown coming off a huge game.
I know it was in a loss to the Bears,
but AJ Brown coming off a big game. We don't
know what's going on with Herbert and his health. Again
it is We're taping this Tuesday morning, so there's time

(44:30):
for this change. Maybe it'll be more obvious later in
the week. It doesn't matter to me if he plays
or not. I'm going to like the Eagles minus two
and a half regardless on the road. But obviously if
Trey Lance plays, this looks even better. And a prop
I'll give you is DeVante Smith and AJ Brown are
gonna both score a touchdowns. You can bet both their
anytime touchdowns and I think they will both hit. But yeah,
the prediction here. The hard rock best bet of the

(44:53):
week for me is that the Eagles win and like
cover by a wide marchin minus two and a half
against the Chargers. Those were hard rock best bets of
the week. And while we're talking about hard rock Bet,

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Ericson what do you think about that Eagles call?

Speaker 3 (46:26):
I like it egos against the spread, and I think
that you're in a situation where you want to get
on this early right because the line can only move
in your favor at this point.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Right.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
So even if justin Herbert, oh he's gonna play, is
that gonna make me want? Oh yeah, gotta take the
Chargers with that home field advantage, yeah, okay, which they
do not have. But han, I feel so bad for
Herbert due to such a warrior. But behind this offensive
line playing with a broken hand, even though it's on
his non throwing hand, like this is still something that

(46:58):
he has to play with and adjust in thinking about
when the pass rush is coming down because his offensive
line is not given much time to block. So I
think that this is a great bet to make and
once we get Trey Lance, we're gonna see this line
move to Eagles favored by a touchdown if that's the
case here. So I think that you're playing with this
is the value proposition right here.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
What did you say your prop was for Bucky?

Speaker 4 (47:21):
I know you said over sixty nine and a half
rushing yards. I don't have it.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
They haven't listed it yet, but I would assume it's
going to be probably somewhere in that facinity, just based
on what his rushing props have been. I think that
he was around this last week as well, but against
the Saints, I just think he's gonna start continued to cook.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, your official best bet is the over on whatever
that line is. So he's RB eight in ECR is that?

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, that's definitely where you have him. Perfect Bucky Irving
or Chase Brown this week.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
I think you'll probably have to move Chase Brown down
just a tad bit. I just think it's so annoying
with the p Ryan stuff. It's just so til thing
that he came back and just took so many of
the carries. So I think that I might have to
move towards Bucky. But Chase Brown still be well within
the top ten running backs just have to acknowledge that
he's not going to see ninety percent of the snaps,

(48:12):
which is going to limit him a little bit, even
though it is still the Buffalo Bill's defense.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
All Right, those were our hard rock best bets of
the week, and also all of our predictions that you
heard throughout the show. Like I said, we'll come up
with some sort of competition bet or something here.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Give some ideas in the comments.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yeah, definitely what you want idea. It can be something
that we can do virtually together. It could be something
that we can do when we're on our team trip
in New Orleans together next month.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Whatever you come up with will we'll consider some options here.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Come up with something, but whatever we do, we will
be competing to see who gets who does better on
these predictions.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Maybe maybe what we do is loser has to sing
the winners song at karaoke live in New Orleans and
the winner gets to pick whatever song they want.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
There's there's no guarantee we make it to another karaoke
bar like we did a couple of team trips to go. Also,
I think it would ruin the evening for everybody if
I sang it. I have a lot of skills singing
as not one don't lose. I will make sure that
I spiritually win and count all those victories for sure.
If that ends up being the vet not a bad idea,

(49:16):
we'll consider it and consider anything else everybody says in
the comments. By the way, each week we do a
