SPEAKER_04:Welcome to Fantasy Football for the Dogs. Make sure you like, listen, subscribe, Apple, Music, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your pause, wherever you listen, that means you gotta close your mouth in order to listen because you can't hear. And you know, just like Skate Man says skate. Well, Q2 tells you to listen. Because the dogs is barking, and we got advice for you. And we have another episode coming to you live and in charge. I'm your boy Q2.
SPEAKER_04:I'm one of the dogs, but I'm gonna pass it over to another dog, AJD, what you got for my boy.
SPEAKER_06:What's up, y'all? This is another installment of Fantasy for the Dogs. We like to talk about games because we are avid football fans. Uh, we love watching the games. So we have seven games that we would like to talk with y'all about. Fellas, y'all ready?
SPEAKER_04:We can't do that with you. You gotta do the proper introduction. We can't do that without the rest of the doghouse. We got Mott and Stick over there on the other side of the yard. Fellas, what's going on for this episode?
SPEAKER_05:We here. Yo, yo, just don't talk about all the Giants games. I don't want to hear it. We don't want to talk about them shits anyway.
SPEAKER_04:Who wants to talk about the Giants? We're glad we're in agreement.
SPEAKER_06:So this week, and just like every week, we like to talk about some games that we have a lot, the the more intriguing games for us. Um and we're gonna start off with the Cowboys are taking a quick trip to Houston. Um the over and under is 47 and a half. And if you're betting, man, the money line is oh wait, excuse me, the spread is plus two and a half for the Cowboys. And um, the money line is plus 127 for the Cowboys. Fellas, how do you feel about this game here?
SPEAKER_07:This is when uh a great offense meets a great defense. This will be a good one, and uh Houston has to win this game. Nico's coming back. Um what's your thoughts, man?
SPEAKER_05:I don't see I don't see Dallas losing this game. I think that offense is gonna overpower that defense. And the Houstons offense won't be good enough against the Dallas defense, even though that defense is not that good. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Nico comes back, gets 100 yards, two touchdowns, and turns some things around for him.
SPEAKER_04:I can see Houston upsetting them. Uh it's it's the freaking Dallas Cowboys for crying out loud. Um they just have the cowboys, yeah. The Cowboys always have a chance to be upset. Like that's just within them. You know what I'm saying? Um, and getting Nico back for CJ would be a plus. Dalton Schultz is it's a lot of stake in this game for real. Like Dalton Schultz going back. Uh, where's this game at? Is it in uh Houston.
SPEAKER_07:Houston. Is it in Houston?
SPEAKER_04:Oh, it's in Houston. Ah, okay. Dalton Schultz is gonna be going back. But it's in Texas either way, right, right. They both home. So that's that's the fun part about the game. Dalton Schultz playing his whole team. Um, I think the defense for Houston, uh, I think they could shut that rundown. So I feel like if they shut the rundown and they're chasing Dak, Pickens and CD, they're gonna have to make them plays, and we haven't seen too much from Pickens yet.
SPEAKER_04:So maybe this is Pickens' uh uh gimme game to where he shows that he's here for the season because Stingley's definitely gonna be on CD. So uh this will be an opportunity for Pickens to show himself uh for the first time this season. Uh so but I do again feel like Houston can get the upset. Uh for fantasy perspective, I would I wouldn't do the whole David Montgomery thing in the lineup. He ain't in my sit like he wasn't on my set list because he's not division talk for me, but I'm I'm sitting Montgomery this week.
SPEAKER_04:Even even against Dallas. I mm-mm. I'm running away from it. I wouldn't even do it.
SPEAKER_07:Shit. Warren, I'm with you, bro. I think I'm gonna lean towards Houston. If Nico's playing, they have to win. And um I just I just think Nico would give them enough offense to have help the defense slow down Dallas. But I also do believe, like you said, George Pickens, this is this will be his breakout game.
SPEAKER_04:Mm-hmm. There's a lot of coaching miscues too. This may have nothing to do with fantasy or anything. Like the damn coaching miscues last week in Dallas killed me. I'm like, what in the hell is like like for them to do all of the bullshit that they did, especially down at the two-yard line, I think it was like first and goal. And and uh for whatever the fuck they did, I'm like, yo, like I think Dallas gets down to the red zone and they just brain part.
SPEAKER_04:Like, I don't know what the hell goes on in there. Oh that's that's that, that's that, but now sticky.
SPEAKER_05:Uh I got a I got a question for y'all. This is just this is just because it's Texas versus Texas. Um me and me and Philly used to debate who the king of Texas was. And and the last time we talked about it, it was either it was either Luca or Michael Park. So asking y'all, who do y'all think the king of Texas is right now?
SPEAKER_04:Right now? Shit, man. I mean, they ain't got oh man, they ain't got no damn king.
SPEAKER_05:It's Wimby. It could be Wimby.
SPEAKER_07:Oh, yeah, true. Wimby is there. The king of Texas? Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Right now, it's that question. Oh my god. Y'all overthinking it.
SPEAKER_03:No, we ain't. Wimby been to the finals. Dak ain't been to a Super Bowl. When you overthinking nothing.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, Wimby almost got an MVP.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:Dak ain't never been in MVP.
SPEAKER_06:I hear you. I hear all of this. I'm gonna just say I hear you guys. I'm just I'm just I just know what I know. I'm gonna say that.
SPEAKER_04:Wait, don't rookie, don't, don't Wimby and Dak have both have rookie of the year?
SPEAKER_03:That's probably the only thing they got that's listen.
SPEAKER_06:Listen, listen, listen, listen. They call the Dallas Cowboys quote unquote America's team. I'm just I'm just I'm just telling you facts.
SPEAKER_04:Shout out to Lamont. What he said on the first Lamont say on the first episode, only they fans call him that.
SPEAKER_05:He's right, he's right. But yeah, right now what they call Dallas is one and two.
SPEAKER_06:So, so um Quilly, who you got? What? King of Texas? No, no, no. Who you got in this game? No, no, no, not the king of Texas.
SPEAKER_04:Who you got in this game?
SPEAKER_06:I don't care about the king of Texas football season.
SPEAKER_04:I got Houston.
SPEAKER_06:Sticky, who you got? Going with Houston as well. I got Dallas. In all seriousness, I like this game because it's gonna be a real battle of a really good offense versus a really good defense, right? But I don't think George Pickens is the guy that's gonna have the breakout game. I think it's gonna be Mr. Ferguson that's gonna go crazy in this game. I can't I can't really put my finger on it. Why? He'll be in my flex this week, just for that. So um Jordan starting two tight ends?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I'm starting two tight ends this week. Tommy. Yeah, yeah, Jury. I'm starting two tight ends this week, so I'm picking Dallas to win this game. GM of the year. Hey, if I win, if I win, I win, you know. So, yeah. We're gonna move on to the next game. The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking a trip to Cincinnati. Um right now, right now, it looks like the spread is plus is plus two and plus two plus two and a half for the Jaguars. The over and under is 51 and a half, and the money line is plus 124 for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
SPEAKER_06:And I'm gonna just throw, I'm gonna just throw my pick out there already. The Jags got a good defense, but the Bengals, man, the Bengals, the Bengals are gonna, boy, the Bengals, the Bengals won't show out at home. So I'm taking the Bengals to show out at home.
SPEAKER_07:Okay. So let's look up on the fantasy side. Let's go from the fantasy side. I think uh I'm picking the Bengals as well, JD. But I think Chase Brown's gonna have his breakout game. It's a 50 51 over under. I think he's gonna have plenty of opportunity to touch the box. Um yeah, um, and then Cincinnati's coming off a tough loss. So you know they yeah, you know they mad. You know they mad. Um, but um but yeah, Jacksonville's playing some good ball. This is gonna be a good game.
SPEAKER_04:It's gonna be a real good game, and it's tough to call. Yeah. Tough to call. Um fantasy perspective, yeah. Take the lead in uh certain uh bits of the conversation, knowing that I got two of the guys uh coming from both these teams with Jamar and uh Tutin. Uh it's it's crazy for both of them. It's like I expect what I expect of them for their namesake, but like it's gonna be a dull. Like, I know Chase is gonna get his, but I don't know if Tutin's gonna get his because of Cincinnati's run defense being, you know, quite fairly decent over the first like three weeks.
SPEAKER_04:And uh, but I, you know, like you said, it's an opportunity for the score scoreboard to go, you know, high or whatever the case is. So one long catch could take him down to the goal line as first and goal at the six through the five or something like that. So um, you know, I'll temper my expectations for like the volume workload for Tootin'. But um game, game flow-wise, it's a tough one. Uh I'm gonna go, I'm gonna give the nod. For me, I'm gonna give the nod to I'm gonna give it to Jacksonville this week.
SPEAKER_04:I'm gonna give it to Jacksonville. Um again, Burrow sometimes. Like I as much as I love Joe Cool, that's my guy, but ah just can't it can't be close in the fourth quarter, and then some shit happens because that's when shit starts to happen with Burrow. It's always something. It's always so he's starting to be like, like I love me, Burrow, but he's starting to remind me of Dak in ways of that. Like it's always something at the end of a game with Joe Burrow.
SPEAKER_04:Something happens, he gets hurt, a miscue, a pick, something. So but yeah, um the Chase Brown game, uh, volume-wise, I definitely agree with you, Mont. Um, this will be a game where it can be 30-30, five minutes left in the fourth, and you know, you give Chase Brown, like Chase Brown gets a whole drive dedicated to him. So there's definitely a possibility for that.
SPEAKER_05:So I agree. I agree too. I think it's gonna be, I think it's gonna be a high power offensive game for both teams. I think it's gonna be enough for Tootin to be able to show off. It's gonna be enough for Parker Washington to be able to show off, it's gonna be enough for both quarterbacks, it's gonna be enough for Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins. I think everybody's gonna contribute fantasy-wise in this game. Um, but I just have a lot less faith in the Bengals defense than I do the Jags defense.
SPEAKER_00:So I'm gonna take the Jacksonville.
SPEAKER_05:I like both their offenses, I just don't like the Bengals defense. Especially in comparison to the Jags defense. So I think I think Jacksonville is gonna take it. I think it's gonna be like 38-27, something like that. 38-28.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_05:Everybody's gonna score.
SPEAKER_04:I can see that. I think it's worth documenting too before we move on. I think it's worth documenting, because I was gonna say it during the first slap, but BTJ, his fall from Greece, man, like for him to have that rookie year, bruh, and for him to now be like speculated as the fourth option is like uh shit. That shit took a turn for the worst really fast. Like, I did not expect that shit.
SPEAKER_07:They say styles make fights. I just think he's in a bad offense. If he goes somewhere where it makes sense, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I just think I just think that a two of two to 87 catches, 1100 yards, and 10 turns is like that's a that's a drop, a crazy drop. But hey, it happens. It definitely happened. It happened to Michael Thomas.
SPEAKER_05:Happened to Calvin Ridley, right? Yeah, Daddy. Yeah, daddy.
SPEAKER_06:All right, moving on. The next game, we got the Los Angeles Rams taking a west, taking a flight to the east coast, playing at the link. Eagles versus the Rams. We have the spread. It opened up at um minus one and a half for the Rams. Um 43 the over and under the over and under is 43 and a half, and the money line is minus 162 for the Rams. Now, my bias is gonna take over because we play the Rams very well, no matter where we play them. So I'm taking the Eagles.
SPEAKER_06:I'm taking the Eagles in a bounce back game. You already know my bias. Eagles in a bounce back game, man.
SPEAKER_07:And this don't I wanted to elaborate it more on the Eagles, bro, uh, when you were speaking about them, but I saved it for this time. So um I did too. So let's start with y'all defense. I don't think the defense is dominant as it was or as it should be. I'm hoping with the the uh season going on, they get better. But it's like y'all don't do nothing great. Like we spoke about Saquon running a rock very well, but they're not doing it enough. The offense still looks the same.
SPEAKER_07:Two struggling matchups against the Titans and losing against the Bears. It's scary, but y'all track history with the Rams, y'all own them. And they're coming to the East Coast. And what was it? Uh it was a coin flip. I'm gonna take the Eagles. I don't know how, but just off of history and a bounce back game, I'm gonna go with the Eagles. But I I'm just that's my thing to you, Jordan. What everything I stated about y'all, do you think it can improve?
SPEAKER_07:Like you said, there's no panic for you. Uh I don't what you think, man?
SPEAKER_06:The only reason why I'm not panicking is because we have a Super Bowl MVP. Um we also have um a pretty good running back who actually showed his ass last week. Um so if we stick to the basics, I have a really, really, really, really confident feeling in the Eagles. I'm not tripping. Now, if we lose this game in a in a heartbreaking fashion, I'm not gonna be too upset. But if we lose, like the Rams come in, it's punch us in the mouth, pause, and and take our and take our jewelry, yeah, we'll it's shaky.
SPEAKER_06:It'll get shaky after that. That then then I might, I might hit the panic button. I might. But right now, no panic. No panic. Can't panic.
SPEAKER_05:I got the rams taking y'all life.
SPEAKER_04:I I was I was saving, saving my little, my little banter. I'm I'm gonna keep it real light though. Philly, uh, I don't know. I just don't know. Yeah, like I said, like Mont said, you should like it's early, but you know, wins the winds are wins and loses losses and losses. But the things is, you know, Titans are the Titans. Those are those you got gimme games, you know, third string quarterback got gimme games. You know what I'm saying? Eagles deep end should look strong, and like Mont said, it's like nothing's changed.
SPEAKER_04:It's like it's the same. But even if it is the same, it's really not the same. Because like I lose to Jordan's points most times when you lose people, and I mean it is true, but you also gained people, like like Jordan said before the season started. We get we just got this person, or we got this person, so this is gonna look different, things are gonna look different, and uh I don't see nothing different. I don't see nothing different. And Jalen Hurts is still like what like what was that last night?
SPEAKER_04:150 and like you threw for 150 yards. This is this is starting to don't don't have the narratives as it's starting to look like you need AJ Brown now, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, because it's gonna start happening. Yo ass can't get up over 175, you barely get up to 200, and it's not even the fact that it was against the Bears defense, it's just it looks bad always around. I mean, no Dallas Goddard this week. That's one thing that takes away one element of the offense, but where, like you said, Saquon's averaging six yards a run, and you take the ball out of his hands, that's how you lose the game.
SPEAKER_04:So, yeah, I'm not I'm not taking Philly by just that stretch. Like you get Saquon happy first quarter, and then you just take the ball out of his hands, you're gonna lose the game. But history shows, like Mott said, hey man, y'all own them. Don't own the Rams. It's like y'all just have a specific game plan to own them. Um, but give me the Rams, give me the Rams and a bounce back. Uh they just can't sit with the Rams, they just can't take their foot off the gas pedal.
SPEAKER_04:Like they just have a tendency to kind of do that. Like, y'all, y'all, y'all gas pedaling, keep going. It's like the Jags did last week. They got that last touchdown. It was like, yeah, they had the game wrapped up, but then they sealed that bitch. It was wrapped, but with the ziploc bag on the end, it wasn't closed all the way. They when they closed that shit and put put the stamp on it. So that's what I feel as though the Rams are gonna come back to do this week.
SPEAKER_04:Put the stamp on the game. If it's 23-6, make it 30 to 6. Um, and shout out to uh Kyron Williams last week. Uh was that no touchdowns and still 20 plus points? Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's good. That's good sightings, though. Anytime a running back can get 20 more or more points in fantasy without a touchdown, you're winning. You're winning on that one. Uh, I can see that final score being somewhere like 27-20, though. I can see it being up there.
SPEAKER_06:All right, the next game. We got the Denver Broncos traveling. Not too far, but it's a far enough for them where they play the San Francisco 49ers. Hey, yo. That's gonna be a good game. 49ers, bro. I don't, but here's the thing. I don't see Brock Purdy taking a dip with this. You gotta think. He plays the Rams twice a year. Plays the Rams twice a year. Oh, bro. What plays the C O Spread was the spread? Oh, I'm sorry. The spread is plus three and a half for the Broncos, the over and under is 47 and a half, and the money line is plus 124 for the Broncos.
SPEAKER_06:I'm I'm still none of this changes my mind. I'm still taking the 49ers. The 49ers are just clicking on all cylinders right now. But we see we see this happen a lot with when teams start hot and then they just fall off a cliff. Like it's happened for most of our teams in in this chat, in this, in this fantasy group. Like, it's happened. We've seen it. So shoot. No, bro, it's not really a shot because the Eagles did the same thing. The Eagles did the same thing a couple years ago.
SPEAKER_06:So is it really a shot?
SPEAKER_00:Eagles did the same thing, you know?
SPEAKER_07:And it's not to me that the Falcons don't ever start hot. But he's talking about your fantasy team. It went over your head.
SPEAKER_04:Oh no, I know, I know, no, no, I already know where he was going. I was just trying to make it light on me. Fuck Jerry. I didn't even say that crazy. But anyway.
SPEAKER_06:But listen. But listen to bring it on back. I don't see, I don't see the 49ers falling off a cliff now. Um I I just think Brock Purdy's playing on a whole nother level. Christian McCaffrey is getting is about to get it going. Um Jalen Waddle is questionable, but does that really matter in this situation? I'm not sure. Give me the 49ers. So I'm the opposite, bro.
SPEAKER_07:I am um who's home? The 49ers. Uh, that hurts. But um, I'm gonna rock with the Broncos. Reason is I think they're about to get punched in the mouth. This is the best defense they're going against. When they played the Rams, the Rams. travel there like the day before. They had they had heavy leads. They wasn't ready. I think uh the Broncos that win against um the Rams was a statement game and they're coming to this next game with a lot of swag and they know how important it is.
SPEAKER_07:I think the defense is gonna neutralize the Niners offense. And then we have Mike at Mike Evans a little questionable coming into it. And um I see uh again they just need to start faster on offense because the defense is always going to keep them in the game. And uh I think Sticke said it earlier it's just uh with Furdy we haven't seen him against uh elite defense yet throwing out the Rams because of where they played at and I think this is going to be a big challenge for them and I think uh the the Brock the Bron Broncos is going to take it on.
SPEAKER_04:Uh not enough elements for me. I'm gonna go nine and not enough elements to trust for the Broncos for me. There's enough in Sam Fran that are healthy even a questionable Mike Evans coming in I'm still taking a questionable Mike Evans at less than 100% with Kittle being 100% and being you know and McCaffrey and the boys and all of that like they look good. You know what I'm saying? And the Niners really only looked bad. Like what were the real reasons why we were calling the Niners bad last year?
SPEAKER_04:Because they kept getting hurt. You know what I'm saying? It was every week somebody was dropping off like all of the like the first in the same frequency though. Like last year it was like they were losing player by player I think one game last year they lost like three linebackers all in one game. Like and it's not the same over the uh first couple weeks and and by week five last year they had hella people on injured reserve it's not the same case this year so far.
SPEAKER_04:So I I I like the night of chances I like CMC looking healthy after you know they were questionable about that coming into the year he's looked good especially after what they did week one with his touches yeah they were screaming at that after week one of fantasy oh man Calon Black go get the touch it's like how y'all know that just wasn't theoretically the game plan we're not about to roll him out week one you feel me to to push all of his energy out the first week of the damn season nah because we got a whole lot of season to play so you know I I trust what they're doing over there in San Fran right now.
SPEAKER_04:As far as Denver goes again just not enough. You know what I mean what can you trust off of off of this conversation alone what can you trust can you really trust him you know what I'm saying outside of that who are you trusting in the receiver pool like outside of Jalen Waddle right now something ain't making no noise ain't nobody making no noise Pat Bryant hey you funny as hell Pat Bryan got got the got that now the last last couple of possessions of that game start out Pat Bryan but uh but hey it's again until Denver really like click clicks and I don't think that'll be this week uh I'm gonna go Niners I I don't see it right now with Denver not to say they won't uh compete I can see that find a score being somewhere like a 24 to like you know 13 type of thing 24-14 not saying they won't compete I just don't think that Denver nah I'm good and it's just their offense the defense will still be the defense purdy will struggle but I I'll say struggle to the side of like three touchdowns maybe two pits 250 plus yards type shit to still get his shit off but he might turn the ball over yeah I I think that I think Bonex and the Denver run game is gonna struggle more than Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey I'm gonna go Niners too I do like Denver's defense but I don't think the Niners are the kind of team that's gonna uh fade out the way the Rams did last week I think the Niners have more discipline to not let that happen like that with the Niners discipline though the Niners are getting all these injuries they they still have the discipline to Fred Warner bro make up with what they got fucking Fred Warner might be the best linebacker in the fucking game for real he's been for the last few years yeah like that boy is really commander and chief on the field type shit he'd really be making the calls and he really be out there all right so I was going back and forth for which game I wanted to say next but it only made it only makes sense to keep it this way we have the battle of the undefeated we have the Kansas City Chiefs taking a trip to Las Vegas to play the Raiders the spread the spread is minus two and a half for the Chiefs uh over another 47 and a half and a money line of minus two twenty five Chiefs um I'm gonna just keep it real this might this might be an upset y'all I think the Raiders might win this one but I'm nervous I'm nervous because the main thing I'm only nervous because the only reason why I'm nervous is because this might be the best scene that the Raiders have cleaned the boss season so we're gonna see what they really look like versus I don't want to say top notch competition but it is top notch competition so I'm I'm picking the Raiders to win this game at home um it's gonna get real real loud and we we're gonna see what um we're gonna see what it's gonna be about I think it's gonna be a quarterback duel too I think it's gonna be a a duel of the quarterbacks honestly I do think that but we will see we will see I'm actually with you JD um I'm taking the points though I have the Raiders winning um just looking at the Chiefs uh opponents they played Miami struggled they beat the Colts by a last minute field goal and who did they open up the season against um I want to see the Raiders the Broncos the Broncos the Broncos played the Broncos and that was a tight game I just feel like um this is a division game as well the Raiders are playing real good ball Brock Bowers coming back he doesn't seem stoppable at all and I think fantasy I mean sticky you have a good fantasy week I think Ginsey gonna have a breakout game um I I just um but I'm taking it with the point so even if they lose by field I'm still good um we're going with the Raiders crazy I'm gonna piggyback that shit as much as I didn't want to discuss this game or try to replace it with another one uh I'm actually gonna go I'm gonna go offset alert my damn self um it it's just it's just again for me just to say Raiders could possibly go 4-0 is like ludicrous as hell but uh yeah it is what it is it's the NFL it is what it is and it's like next man up just like his next team to possibly be good again I guess um they're not playing upset alert every week obviously but the fact that the Raiders opened the season um what was that uh I think they upset it was the Chargers I think that the Chargers right yeah they opened it up against the Chargers and they upset the Chargers for what we knew after week one granted we know the Chargers what they look like now but you know it wasn't the case then and then stopping out the Dolphins I mean call it what you want to call it there that that was supposed to be the game of two teams that we didn't think were good one of them still isn't one of them showed you a little bit more of a dominant factor on the dominant side and then last week the Saints were coming in hot you know I mean well they didn't play a non-hot Saints team like a Saints team that was in the water like no they played Tyler Shark after Tyler Shark had a decent week.
SPEAKER_04:So you know I'm saying they they slowed a lot of that down at some point during that game last week so I give a little bit of Raider love I guess and for fantasy implications like y'all said to me before we started uh got the double tight ends because now we kind of got to put throw some love to Michael Mayer I guess I mean he scored last week with Bowers still there and they both wound up scoring. So you know gotta say something for that uh I agree with Mont's take on Gensi having a breakout week it's a division game so division games means the key players touch the ball a lot more so as yeah I mean ball could be in Genty's hand plenty of times during this game.
SPEAKER_04:As far as the Chief goes uh you know you're you're gonna get tested in within your division again for the second time this year so you have you've had two division games in the first month let's let's see let's let's see you know let's let's see what they got shout out to Jordan too with the Rashi Rice take on the sit list because uh I I also uh I I baffled at it at first but I'm like there's no reason to go crazy over Rashi actually starting like he might get locked up and Kelsey might be the one that's had the field day shout out to old man Kelsey out here uh getting love the first month of the year like we haven't seen this version of Travis Kelsey in a minute so chat shout out to it boy caught a 48 yard catch from the first play of the game last week and I thought he was gonna score big ass fell over he did that same thing week one I think he had like a 50 yard catch shout out shout out old man Kelsey uh I'm gonna be the only bro here taking the Chiefs damn I don't see I don't see how the Raiders is gonna be able to beat the Chiefs the Raiders like I said I love the Raiders' defense this year but Kansas City showed that they can do it against good defenses they've shown that I I think the chip the Chiefs offense is better than their defense and their defense is good like they showed against the the Colts putting up 33 but allowing 30 um I just don't see Vegas being I don't see Kirk cousins being good enough to beat the Chiefs it's not a prime time game right because we know Kurt is primetime okay we're about to get into the prime time game right now Monday night football no no sunday night Sunday night football we gotta go Sunday night first okay okay we got the Detroit Lions taking a trip to the to the to North Carolina and the Panthers the Detroit Lions three and a half minus three and a half over another is fifty and a half and the money line is minus one three I think the Lions just have too much let me just be real I think the Lions just have way way way too much we don't need this gonna be the second time we get to see games in prime time the first time the first time was a little shaky but he started getting going crazy in the second half I think they're just gonna start off and just be like look we are the better team and y'all will not y'all no you know what I mean I think it's gonna be one of that um the Panthers are on the rise they kind of got into the playoffs last year on some flukey stuff so um it might be a fluke this might be a fluke this might be the first quote unquote fluke playoff scene um but I'm I'm taking the Lions in this one I'm taking the Lions too I don't ever have faith in the Panthers and it ain't gonna start today we'll keep might as well keep it rolling I'm taking the Lions as well but I do believe it'll be a nice fantasy um game for the top players on the I agree with that too there's gonna be some point scored yeah lions can't stop a nose bleed but they can't stop they can't they couldn't stop a Carolina Panther but I'm taking a lot it's weird it's weird i i i'm i'm phew i'm about to say some crazy shit on this pod then i'm actually taking a division rival in an upset in this matchup i'm actually taking the panthers in this matchup few reasons why too because what one because i'm in disbelief with the lions having last week was too if that was what they with Jordan says they just had too much that too much should have been too much for the jets and they could have lost that game to the Jets and you know what I mean I'll it wasn't a runaway game granted the Jets couldn't stop Jameer Gibbs and not too many teams can and like Stick said it's the defense I don't trust them to stop Jameer Gibbs either but Jameer Gibbs is an anomaly he's gonna get his so you know what I'm saying that's just what it is but even if you're just game plan for that yeah you got a game plan for St.
SPEAKER_04:Brown too all right well Laporte does look good with yards you know what I'm saying J Mo hasn't looked good at all so it's like you're gonna lean on that now if they key in and they stop that it's it's it turns into a game at that point. And I feel like the Lions even with that little shootout against Buffalo it's like we knew that that was going to be a shootout just because eventually Detroit was going to wind up scoring or moving the ball down the field because they had the time to do it.
SPEAKER_04:But again they almost lost they they could have lost that game to the Jets last week could've shoulda I know but hey all I'm gonna say is listen I'm I'm not clear cutting the line like I think this game would be rather close even like I don't think it'll be a runaway with the Panthers obviously think that somewhere along the lines of 2320 like I don't think Detroit's gonna run away with it um after the first half I think Carolina's gonna stabilize the game uh I I did have Bryce Young in my starts uh you know like like M said Detroit can't stop a nosebleed Gino was throwing the ball all over them what's Bryce Young been getting better at the first few weeks of the season standing in the pocket making the throws if he can make maybe two or three more throws than he made last week we could be singing the Carolina Panther win so I all I'm gonna say yeah I I'll take them in the matchup and as far as fantasy goes yeah got Bryce and the boys Tet uh you know what I'm saying Chuba and them even though Chuba was on my sip hey still still a fantasy name you got the rest of the boys on the other side with Laporta and this might be Laporta's breakout game for them though.
SPEAKER_04:You know what I mean Laporta probably fuck around and score 20 or more this week I can see St.
SPEAKER_06:Brown still getting his Gibbs I can see Gibbs having a light week this week though hey maybe I'm wrong but I can see him having like a light week for him is like 16 hey hey hey hey anything could happen so we'll see but I got Carolina man I'll be the only bro in this one take in this uh game yeah I don't I don't see a Carolina defense being able to stop nobody that nigga sticky sticky got a band better against Carolina he don't like them niggas oh they can't they they allow the bears to score 59 points and then them stay back for three next week hey but then they but then they put up 27 on Philly head on Monday night with a uh the third string so oh shit he can shoot all he wants he can shoot all he wants he can shoot all he want the better one yeah we we about to talk we about to talk about the better bird on Monday night that's coming through all right so let me just cut to the chase let me cut to the taste we got the Atlanta Falcons traveling to the New Orleans two teams the two teams that are one and two Jesus on Monday on Monday night it's gonna be a fun game to watch expect a lot of expect a lot of shooting um the game opens up with the um with the square for the Falcons plus three the over and under is 48 and a half and the money line is plus one thirty in favor of the Falcons damn um the the Falcons don't play well in New Orleans bro they just don't we don't um I I just see Tyler Shuck having an I can't even call it a bounce back game because he played well last week so um I think I think I just think teams play better at like the home teams obviously play better at home um I don't really see any real like like Bichon is him Bichon is him and to piggyback off of that pause I'm taking the Falcons I'm taking the Falcons I'm taking the saint I'm taking the thing um it's not an easy pick I'll tell you that much I did like the way it lay a look with with Pennsylvania um I just I think I just like the saint defense a little better but just a little not much it's it's it's not an easy choice B.
SPEAKER_07:John is the man Chris Olave is the man Drake London had a great game we'll see if he can do that again with Penix I I see great things fantasy wise for Atlanta I'll tell you that much 48 and a half this is going to be a good fantasy good way to end the week uh two good division a nice division matchup but um Bijan's the best player on the field I think he's gonna be the difference maker I feel like the Falcons defense can get a turnover a little more than the Saints I'm actually the opposite of the unit Saints been letting everybody run throwing balls.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah I'm um I like the Falcons I think they got a little swag that big win against the Packers they they got their quarterback back you know uh uh just Jordan you saying that they don't play well in New Orleans was a little scary but I think Bijan being the best player on the field is gonna be the key to that win me being me me being the biased character in the room I will take it from here I'm and I'm really just going to piggyback off right what everybody say it um obviously I'm taking my boys uh if this was any other matchup if if I didn't if I had to pick against him obviously I would do that homework but in this one there's more of the like Mont said bro Bijan best player on the field I'm gonna take it a step further it's a national televised game and Bijan doesn't if we look at it like I don't have it in front of me but from what I know when we play on TV when we do get screen time he doesn't play bad and we normally are either in the game or we win the game nine times out of ten from what I've seen out of us when we play on TV so I something about the spotlight of the moment with Bijan so um I'm taking this in like White Bros and Penix last week we got we got that got our guy back and it's a better defense this week but it's not a top tier defense.
SPEAKER_04:So let's just see how he plays against a defense that'll be chasing him more than Gree Bay did. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking forward to see what Penix does uh especially for the fantasy uh implication of it you know if he's not a picked up quarterback off of last week's matchup maybe he's picked up the following week or something like that maybe somebody's looking at adding him to the roster um nine for 194 last week with Drake only says that that can just stabilize and be either better uh stays or you know does what it does.
SPEAKER_04:Bijan last week 213 total we are that's that's just that's just it I would like to say though I I want to see us use uh branch a little bit more in the offense either him or Dotson somebody else has to start making noise in that offense for me to like start to really confidently pick him but um yeah I'm going I'm going with us I think Shackle get is for Being the new guy in the room on a Monday night football game. Yeah, I think he'll have his moments.
SPEAKER_04:I also think Chris Olave will cut us the hell up for all intents and purposes, but no run game. Now, Kamara does historically have good games against us, but this is Camara's first start in week four. And, you know, the workload. Who knows what Kamara's workload and the handle is going to be for that? Um, given that he hasn't had much of the workload yet this year. So give me us um, I'd say 24-17, a final score there. Uh give us us. I'm with it all the way around.
SPEAKER_06:That concludes our picks for this week. Um, if you weren't paying attention, don't worry, I was. Um Cooley is taking the Texans, the Jags, the Rams, the Niners, the Raiders, the Panthers, and the Falcons. Mont is taking the Texans, the Bengals, the Eagles, the Broncos, the Raiders, the Lions, the Falcons. Sticky is taking Dallas, Jags, Rams, Niners, Chiefs, Lions, Saints, and I'm taking Dallas, Bengals, Eagles, Niners, Raiders, Lions, Falcons.
SPEAKER_04:Like all of us are like mixed. All of in ways. Like we're some of us the same in ways, and then some got a mix at a certain point, and then it is regulars, and then it mixes again. I like that. Alright, so where's this game at, man? Where's the favorite game? Where yeah, where's this favorite game at, bro?
SPEAKER_07:Who won this week, bro? Where are the results at? Who the results up? In fact, bro, I want to this is all I wait for all night. This is the fun part.
SPEAKER_04:Yo, dude. Well, my probably did kick our head.
SPEAKER_05:Howrying up the score. Fourth place, Bill Jordan. Whether he's here or not, he takes fourth place. That's just the way it is. We finished with a total of 50.9.
