This is it. The world as you know it is over. Completely done. It's not about to be over, it's over. Some of the scientists who helped build AI are now sounding the alarm. I was selling AI as a great thing for decades and I was wrong. I was wrong. There's a longer term existential threat that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves. We have no idea whether we can stay in control. While others say that AI will usher in unfathomable abundance. I've always believed that it's going to be the most important invention that humanity will ever make. This really will be a world of abundance. And among these fears and these fantasies, we seek the story of our future. Listen to the last invention. On Apple Spotify Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome everyone to the NFL week 16 props episode here on RJ Bell's dream preview. I'm your host Bunoff Monge. You can find me on Twitter @sportstart824. Another week as we inch closer to the close post season. A lot of interesting matchups here four weeks 16 of playoff implications division implications as well. Of course, we'll give you our player props for each for myself and sleepy. We'll get into our touchdown scores for the week and also give you our pod best bet. And we'll talk about some fun things happening over at pregame.com as well. But joining me as you always has throughout the season at sleepy J sleepy. What's going on my man? How you doing? I'm doing good. It's it's that time of the year. It's, you know, it is the season to be jolly. Yeah. Yeah, so just trying to get ready for the holiday just left Walmart. What a shit show that place is crazy. Yeah, so it's trying to do all the family stuff and all the sports stuff. And we got the bull games and NFL and it's all that no fantasy for me. I got knocked out there last week. So not too happy about that. But yeah, putting everything together getting ready for a good week here. Hopefully, you know, good good good week of basketball football and holiday stuff. Yeah, we got a good mention college basketball going on. Obviously, bowl season as well NBA and a fell start to a wind down here as far as the regular season goes. So still a lot of things. First of all, I've already vented my part about the fantasy on the fantasy pod. So if you haven't checked that, I'll go ahead and do that with myself and Rod. But sleep, let's get into it here, man. Let's start with our quarterback props for this week. We'll work our way from there. I'll let you lead off where he's taking us. All right. So I got an ugly one here. I'm going with Dolphins quarterback Quinn yours. I'm going to go down and play him over 182 and a half passing yards. So to it gets benched. And I don't want to say McDonald's is on the hot seat. Like if you look at his odds for coaches to be fired, it's like 40 to one or something like that. But still, I mean, there's chatter, right? McDonald's potentially, you know, if the rest of the year doesn't go right, there's a chance he might not be with this team there last year. But I feel like this is a great way for McDonald's. You know, the guy that's on the on the so called hats here to just go ahead and blame Tua. And two has actually been bad. I mean, can you go ahead and justify, you know, why he's being benched? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the dude leads the league in interceptions. And it's some of the throws it to has made, you know, I've been really bad. There's bangles past defense. You and I both know and everybody else probably that this is a defense you want to throw the football on. And I think going ahead, putting yours in there. Let this kid throw just let him go ahead and throw like you could probably run or pass. But why are you going to give the ball to H and dolphins are out of it? Why are you going to use up your franchise running back when you really don't need to? What you need to do is say, this is the ultimate problem here in Miami. It's the quarterback. So why not let you just go out there and throw this is certainly the defense that you want to go ahead and throw against. I know it's 182 and a half. And I know it's he's a rookie. But you know what? I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to do it. I think that McDaniel's let this guy throw, you know, 3035 times in this game. It's not like mine. He's going to do what the Ravens did there to the Bengals last week. Shut them out. Bengals are going to come back here. They're going to score. So I could easily see Miami needing to throw the football. And Quinn, yours over 182 and a half. I dig it. Yeah. I think we mentioned this about Joe burrow when he did return. Like you're not bringing him back for him to hand the football off. I think they want to see the dolphins what they have in Quinn, yours, right? Because they do have a decision to make on two. And yeah, it's going to it's going to cost them a lot of money against their cap. Just because of the money that they ended up paying them in that extension. But yeah, I mean, we've talked about all season, right? I mean, this, this, this, the Bengals defense has been the worst. If not one of the worst in the entire national football league. Over the course of the season and just quarterbacks for finding success. Yes, Lamar Jackson only threw for 150 yards in that game and only 12 times. But when you're shutting out an opponent, you're not going to have to throw the football. So, um, I think that the Bengals do bounce back in this game offensively, which like you mentioned, that'll just enable Mike McDaniel's. And Quinn, yours with the football in this game. I mean, you take a look at the past several weeks for this Bengals past the defense. 243 for Rogers, 294 for Drake May 246 for Lamar. 251 for Josh Allen. Yes, those are some of the better quarterbacks in the league. But you're out here to see what Quinn, yours can do for your team. And maybe be the quarterback of the future for this franchise here. So I think they are going to let them fling it around a little bit. I mean, you have nothing to lose at this point as well, right? I mean, you're, you're going to let them go out there and let them show you what, what he has in his arm there. So yeah, I'll be with you on this for sure. Um, all right. For Mike, we're back probably this week, sleepy. It's, uh, it's pretty simple for me. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it. So I'm just going to go back to back in Jacobi, percent, uh, on his passing yards ago over. A number is currently sitting at. Uh, 249 in a half in this match up. They do face the Falcons this week. And it's one of the, uh, handful of games this week that has a higher total. I believe now it's up to 48 and a half, uh, in this game between the Cardinals and the Falcons. But now we've seen six straight weeks where Jacobi, percent has thrown for at least 40 attempts in a game. He said, at least 25 completions in five straight weeks, but also looking at the yardage. Last week against the Texans, right? Yes, they were in a negative game. But we knew that they're going to have to throw the football. But, um, you know, the Texans at a point were starting to play some prevent defense, especially the late in that, uh, in the second half and in that fourth quarter, where Jacobi, percent was able to kind of sit back and throw the ball in more so to try. McBride, um, in that match up. But you take also look at the Falcons whose past defense, sleepy. Uh, it's, it's taken a step back. They got off to a fantastic start at the beginning of the season. Half of the year, they've struggled a little bit. They gave up 259 to Drake May, 255. Sorry, 259 to Drake May, 255 to Daniel Jones, 448 to Bryce Young, Tyler Schuck also threw for 243. In the last two weeks, Sam Darnell, 249 in the last week Baker Mayfield 277 here. So I know this spread is a little bit closer than what we've been used to seeing in Cardinals game. They are catching three points right home against the Falcons, but the running game has pretty much been non-existent for this Cardinals team. And I think you're just going to let's, you know, Jacobi's percent, just sit back and throw the football. He's gone over this number in every single game that he has played in the season. It's like for last week where he got hooked by half a yard. And that was against the best defense, but he went over that projection in all of the games that he's played in this season. So I'm going to continue back and that can make you a Kobe percent over 249 and a half passing yards. Yeah, like you said, if it's not broke, you know, don't try to go ahead and fix it. I think the only thing that worries me with this one, the Falcons are actually pretty good against the against the tight end. So that would be, you know, one of the worries that I have. And I guess maybe the other worry. And I don't know if it's necessarily a worry, but Atlanta's not, they don't have nothing to play for. So do they just go out there and hand the ball off and does it run off too much at the clock to where, you know, Berset doesn't get, you know, all those looks. So, I mean, maybe that's about it. I mean, these teams are, you know, they're, they're out of it. So I don't know if it's, are they really trying to showcase, you know, cousins are, are Berset. I mean, Berset, I mean, maybe more Berset than, than cousins and anything. So yeah, I don't know. I look at this one up. I would pass personally. That's just me. It's not one that, and I don't really mess with Berset too much. But, uh, yeah, maybe I just have a couple of concerns, but I'm not against it. All right. Fair enough. Let's move over to our running back props for this week. Sleepy, what do you got? All right. Feel like I took a page out of your book here, man, off. I'm going with Bucks running back. I'm going Bucky Irving over 17 and a half receiving yards. I think that this is a sneaky play there this week. Panthers, they're around mid-pack against defending the running back in the passing game. Irving, he was limited to just one catch there last week. But in Irving's seven total games this year, he's gone over this number five times in six out of seven games. He broke a catch for double digit yardage. So he can get you, you know, he can get this number in one or two catches pretty much easily. And the Bucks, I mean, they're banged up a little bit at tie-dend with Oton. There's a lot of mouths to feed though. I mean, you got Godwin, you got Evans, you got Obuca. I could understand, you know, that you might want to, you know, shy away a little bit from this one. But I think there's going to be a lot of attention on the wide receivers and probably not so much, you know, with these running backs. May feel with sack last week five times. I'm sure they're probably addressing that. And I just have a feeling that Irving's going to be the guy that, you know, gets back to his normal workload, probably like four or five catches in this one. I mean, the Bucks are a team that tends to win when Irving goes ahead and he gets him touches out of the backfield. And it's not like Tampa has has a good, you know, last couple of games. And he's not catching, you know, four or five, even getting, you know, five, six targets a game. So it looks like it's starting to ramp up. This just feels like a sneaky spot to try to, you know, go ahead and squeak a guy in there. It's probably going to be a pretty big part of the game plan. That's where I'm going, Bucks running back, Bucky Irving, over 17 and a half receiving yards. Yeah, I like it last season. I mean, Bucky Irving absolutely tore up the Panthers. And since you're talking about the receiving yards, he had a total of 110 last season, two games against the Panthers, 77 and one game on four targets and 33 on three targets last season. And I think if you also want to add in this longest reception to go over, I want to be opposed to that because you mentioned he's been able to break out a couple of big catches throughout the season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he's been out there. And last season, he also averaged 132 rushing yards on the ground. So if you're a fantasy owner of Bucky Irving, this may be the week that he does step up for you, you know, so maybe carry to the championship a week in your fantasy leagues. But yeah, I like this again. You mentioned the sacs at Baker Mayfield did take in the offense. Look good, right? They got Mike Evans back last week and, you know, you have Chris God went back, you have a book. Jalen McMillan also returned. So he has a full complement of receivers. I think that's something they'll be advantaged or able to take advantage of in this game. Don't be surprised if you see three to four targets of Bucky Irving gets is done in two catches honestly for the Buccaneers offense there. So yeah, I like this one here for Bucky Irving. For my running back, probably this week, I'll go back to that game. You mentioned that the Falcons are probably just turn around and hand the football off in that game. And I think that's exactly what they're going to do in this game with Bijon Robinson. This is the week that fantasy owners are probably going to cash in on what Bijon Robinson can do against his Cardinals lack there of rush defense. So just to put in perspective, the Cardinals rush, sorry, the yeah, the Cardinals rush defense has been one of the worst in the league, especially over the last two weeks. So on the season, see, they're giving up 110 rushing yards per game along with 31 receiving yards per game. They're giving up 4.8 yards per carry on the ground throughout the season. And I just took his a receiving and rushing to go over the number. Certainly at 125 and a half. And shockingly, I thought that was a little bit conservative for Bijon Robinson. So let's go back to week 14 where Blake Korum went off for 128 yards on the ground against the Cardinals on 12 carries. Karen Williams 13 for 84 in week 14 last week before Woody Marks got injured. You know, there was a couple runs in there that he broke off and got a shoestring tackle that could have gone off for a very long for a very long rush attempt. Unfortunately, he did get injured in the game. But Chihuahua or Chihuahua Jordan, let me know if you've heard that name before for the Texans came in on 15 rush has got 101 rushing yards against a Cardinals last week. Not just imagine what Bijon's going to do this week against this Cardinals rush defense or lack there up there. So you mentioned that you made probably you're not going to have Kirk cousins go out there and throw the football 44 times like he did last week. Against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers where this is a matchup where you should see a lot of Bijon Robinson, you see a lot of Tyler Algier. So don't be surprised if you see Bijon having 20 plus carries in this game. He's able to break off 150 yards just on the ground alone. And don't be surprised if he has a hundred total yards by half time in this game here for the Atlanta Falcons last week. I'll just stay over the last three weeks. I'll wrap it up with this sleepy. He said at least 19 carries for the Atlanta Falcons rushing attack there. So don't be surprised again. If he does have another 20 rush attempts in this game alone, but I'll tack on the I'll tack on the receiving yards as well in this matchup here for Bijon Robinson because we know he's a threat as well. For the Atlanta Falcons. So give me rushing and receiving for Bijon Robinson over 125 and a half. Yeah, I like this one. I also like Al's year two. I think that this is a big game for the Falcons running backs here. One of the things with this Cardinals team is they like the blitz and they like to over pursue the quarterback. And that's how you end up with these running backs with these massive games is they just there's wide open alleys because there's just too many guys trying to kill the quarterback. And they wouldn't surprise me if if the Cardinals go ahead and try to do the same thing because it's it's cousins. They probably think they can get after him and go ahead and you know, rattle him, but it's probably not a good recipe with with Algier and Bijon back there. They're probably going to end up with some some pretty big some pretty big runs. So yeah, yeah, I like this one a lot. But all right, let's get over to our wide receiver props four weeks, 16 sleepy way tickets. All right. Let's go with Patriots wide receiver going with stuff on digs over 40 and a half or see me yards. You know, he's been somewhat quiet the last few games. This game sets up great for him though. The Ravens. They're tough to run on and the Ravens are actually pretty good against the tight end. So you know, the yards at the Ravens give up generally in the passing attack. It's to the running back. It's to fill the wide receivers. I think I think the Ravens will probably put some pressure on the Patriots here to you know, go ahead and have to throw the football because the Ravens are going to go ahead. They're going to score some points here. They're not you know, they're not going to end up in with some type of game where they're looking to go and run out the clock. I really like the fact that that the Patriots lost last week and digs only had three catches for 26 yards. So I mean, we kind of know like digs in the past has been a little bit outspoken, right? And I think, you know, with the way that the season has gone for the Patriots, it's gone. It's gone great. And it seems like digs is bought in and all this entire team's bought in. But it feels like coming off of a tough loss to Buffalo. I'm not saying he went in there and cost trouble, but he might just say, you know, I'm going to be a leader. Get me the ball. I'm going to do what I need to do next week to help us win and say it in that kind of way. Not going there and complain that he only got the ball, you know, three times, but you know, his targets have gone down his his yardage has gone down, but this just feels like a number that's that's pretty low against a Ravens past defense. That's, you know, at times, it's just it's unbearable to watch. So 40 and a half. I'm going to do that. Yeah, let's also not forget these players at the skill positions, whether it's quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, they're they're looking to close out on some of their incentives and their contracts, right? And I think that from what I saw that Siphon digs needs three more catches to unlock a $500,000 bonus for the season. Baltimore has allowed five plus catches to opposing wide receiver once this season, the X averaging 4.8 receptions this season. So I think, you know, if he's able to, you know, break off a long one in this game, but I think the targets will be there for him in this game. Like you mentioned, coming off the laws back in his Patriots team, you know, still vying for a division title in the AFC East and of course play off sitting there as well. You got to look for your best players and I know Siphon digs. There was a stretch where he was looking really, really good. Let's get back to the basics here with Drake May and Siphon digs to have a big game in this match. We also talked about Siphon digs on the fantasy pod there as well that if he's a viable option to stop start at your flex positions, maybe that the wide receiver to position there. So I think this should be a big week for him. And for the Patriots. All right. For my wide receiver prop here, I'm going to go over that game between the Steelers and the Lions. And I'm looking at DK Medcalf to go over his number of 58 and a half in this game here. You know, last week against the dolphins, they made relatively easy work of that defense. But you know, if you if you listen to Aaron Rogers press conference there, you know, he mentioned that a lot of the players did what they were supposed to do and everybody stepped up and it was a group effort. I should say, but he also did say that they wanted to get more looks at DK Medcalf as well. He only had three targets last week. But prior to last week, Sleepy had at least eight targets in three of the four games. In that game against the Baltimore Ravens, speaking of the Ravens, he had 12 targets for seven reception 148 yards. You're expecting the Steelers to be trailing in this game against the Lions. And we know the stats about the Lions where they're coming off of a loss. They're really, really good in the spot. So I'm expecting the Steelers to be trailing in this game and Aaron Rogers having to throw the football and what better way to do that. It's a find your guy and DK Medcalf. And typically when Aaron Rogers says something that he wants to get a guy the football a little bit more, especially your wide receiver one. I think that he's going to do that this week with DK Medcalf. And again, we know his big playability is about to catch the ball down the field and also pick up yards after the catch. So I like Medcalf to get over 58 and a half receiving arts this week against the Lions, or Sleepy. I like this one. I like this one quite a bit. You know, one of the things with Rogers only because, you know, I die hard Packer fan. I've watched him for a long time. When you have a guy like him and you had a guy like Devonte Adams, you don't always have to throw the football down the field. Just give him the football. Like you were talking about the yards after catch. DK's a big dude. He's a powerful guy. So don't be shocked if you know he gets a couple of those, you know, quick screens, you know, quick passes. Not it's not like, hey, I got to go, you know, try to try to find, you know, this guy deep down the field. He's going to get those shots too. But I think that that's going to open up this entire Pittsburgh offense this week. I don't like the Lions past defense at all. I like this one a lot. I think DK probably has a pretty big week here and he'll probably get it short middle and long. So yeah, I like this one quite a bit. Yeah, the Lions this season are up through week 15 or allowing the most receiving yards to the wide receiver position are the lines at 172 per game. So we're just asking DK to get us only about 59 here of that 172. So I think definitely that he can do that this week. So those are wide receiver props for this week. Let's wrap it up here with our tight end props. Sleepy, what are you taking us? Eagles tight end. So we're going to go with the Saturday game here, Dallas Goddard. I'm going to put three and a half catches. I'm going to go ahead and play him over. There is some juice to this. So you're going to have to pay a little bit on this one. The commanders are not very good against the tight end and you know, Philly got a going last week and it all really started with Dallas Goddard. The Eagles they needed that game. They needed to go ahead. They needed to bounce back. You know, they were big deal. They shut out the Raiders, but still the Eagles needed to go ahead and have a bounce back game. And that hurts us just one of those weird kind of quarterbacks like I watch this really team each and every week and I could tell you when hurts is comfortable. It's because he's getting the football to Dallas Goddard. That's the guy he starts with. That's the guy he ends with. Unfortunately, you know, for sake one of all these other guys. That's the guy that just calms down. Jalen hurts. I think Lane Johnson may play. I'm not sure. I know Dickerson's banged up too as well. The Philly offensive line hasn't hasn't been all that great. I mean, it seems like. Like hurts is getting a lot of pressure coming up the middle, especially like, you know, in between the guards in the center. So just go back to what worked and if you watch the Philly games and you watch hurts, you know, with the offensive line kind of banged up. It's just it was very scattered. He was very scattered. So maybe they figured something out there last week. I really think that. I think Goddard probably gets the ball here quite a bit here. I think it starts and it was a tight end here with Philly to be honest with you. And if the coaches don't get cute and they've, you know, they've done that before with this Philadelphia team. Then, you know, then you have something to worry about. But if they just say, you know what, we finally, you know, quieted everybody down. And this is what works and Goddard. Honestly, Goddard is he's the guy that really comes jail hurts down out there. So I'm going to go ahead and take Goddard over three and a half catches. Yeah, last two weeks for Goddard 17 total targets. He's at 14 receptions and he's at 70 plus receiving yards over the last two weeks against the chargers and the Vikings there. And again, we talked about the bad defenses of teams like the Bengals, commanders rush defense as or sorry, their defense is overall, especially their secondary has absolutely atrocious this season. So I believe if the Eagles win this week, they clinched the NFC East. If I'm not mistaken, but again, every game just matters here for the Eagles. And again, if they want to get back to Super Bowl form, these last three games is where they really need to tighten up and get some momentum going into the playoffs. And one of those guys that last season that stepped up big and outside of Saequan that's really not talked about is what you just mentioned, Val's Goddard there. So I like this one for sure against the commanders this week. All right. I'll wrap it up here. The quarterback you mentioned for your quarterback probably when yours, hopefully he's looking for Darren Waller in this game. The number sitting at 27 and a half in this match up here. And you know, when we talk about new quarterbacks, I do comment or guys making their season debut. I feel like that that security blanket for those guys are their tight ends. Darren Waller's number is only sitting at 27 and a half in this game. He's gone over this projection into the last three games, but also let's not forget we've talked about this a lot that they're going up against the bangles this week. And the bangles defense, especially against the tight end position has been the absolute worst. And I think it may be historical without bad that's been. This week, Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely didn't really do much for us. Unfortunately, it was really Derek Henry and the running game there and really the defense for the Baltimore Ravens there. But I think this game could we could see some points being put up in this game bangles again, allowing 91.14 receiving yards per game to the tight end position. I think that Darren Waller is well in line to have a big gate. Excuse me here. I don't be surprised if he also does find the in zone. He did find it twice last week. Did have a targets against the Steelers on seven receptions for 66 yards. So I think they're a little bit limited at least far as offensive weapons. But I think when yours can do a good job of finding Darren Waller in this game here. Again, I think that he probably get this done in three to four catches here also like his receptions to go over in this game for Darren Waller, but I can ask him to get 28 yards in this match against the Cincinnati bangles. I don't think it's a tall order for him. So I like Darren Waller to wrap it up here over 27 and have receiving your answers, loopy. This was the first prop I went after today when it came to tight ends somebody put out there on Twitter. I don't remember what what it said. It was just like. I'm going to have a monster week against the bangles or you should play them against the bangles and it kind of just stuck with me and it makes sense, you know, I mean last week sucked. I mean, the fact that you know, I had Andrews. I had likely over it's one of the few times that. You know, the wide the tight end position didn't go wild against the the bangles, but this feels like one of those weeks. I'll tell you one of the reasons why I I didn't use wall or two reasons one. I saw you ended up on the injury report. So I'm like, OK, but the overall deciding factor was I have a dolphin in my touchdown prop. So I'm like, what do I want to turn this into the Miami dolphins prop podcast. Yeah, I didn't want to do that. So you guys already know you're getting a dolphin for my tight end prop. So. Yeah, just checking the update and your report, me is dealing with a neat issue, but I'll also put in that they're really just having them rested. But the expectation is that he does play in the scheme against the bangles there. So again, we're not asking to do a whole heck of a lot here in this matchup. So hopefully darn waller will be out there week 16 against the bangles. So those are our four props each four week 16 sleepy. Let's get into our touchdown scores for the week we like to find the end zone. Alright, so I'm going with dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington plus 390. We know that the dolphins are starting a new quarterback this week and it's a great match up for him against the bangles when Washington got his most targets in a game this year and his most catches in a game this year. Just go back and look it was against the Cleveland Browns and that was the only game that this guy yours ended up quarterbacking it will you through the ball eight times in that game three times it went to Washington. So something tells me you know just because Tyrick Hill was there in the beginning of the year and water was there that that yours in Washington Washington might have been like his wide receiver one you know when it came time for him to go ahead and get some red and I don't even know if Washington was was wide receiver three in the beginning of the year could have easily been wide receiver four you know we don't necessarily know but I just get the feeling like yours and Washington work together. And why not just go ahead and at plus 390. I feel like if you give me four games against the bangles with any wide receiver somebody I mean they're going to score so I feel like I'm getting some decent value even though it's a touchdown prop and he's generally don't offer a lot of value. If Quinn yours goes out and throws the football like I thought you know a bunch of times in this game Malik Washington's going to be part of this game plan out there wall is going to be part of the game plan so yeah I'm going to go ahead I'm going to play Malik Washington over to go ahead and score touchdown sorry at plus 390 yeah like it. Yeah this is going to be one of the games we do see a lot of points being put up even if it is Quinn yours back there is just how bad you know the defense has been. For the bangles and was just continue fading that last week I did remember giving guys Nicole Collins I think he scored the first passing play from. CJ shout out that game against the cardinals there but a couple of other ones that I do like for week 16. Let's start here with bookie arving you mentioned it you like his receiving yards ago over hopefully does it's a receiving touchdown for bookie arving that's at plus 130 right now. Against the Carolina panthers he's been like we mentioned he's been really good against the panthers in two games he played against the last season.

Issues and how they've been having to check him in 50% of the games that he's been playing in but Jackson dark's going to be Jackson dark. And you know this is going to be a pretty good game I know it's not probably going to be a popular game watching JJ McCarthy versus Jackson dark but I can't I know that Jackson dark is still going to utilize his leg special when it comes to the red zone.

Yeah so you know we're getting to the meat and potatoes here the football season now we got bull season NFL playoffs coming up so you guys can go ahead you'll get like 30 day access there pregame dot com we have a bowl contest. As well I think there's like it's like two thousand bulk dollars are available top ten people go ahead and they didn't get the cash and so.

You get one hundred bulk dollars so you pretty much double your money right a hundred dollar bonus on your money you get to spend it anyway that you want you could spend.

It's a really good time this is a great time to go ahead and actually you know go ahead and invest in and buy in some picks not only because the action is good. But because these handicaps and myself and went off included you know the more that we get to see the better that we get I mean it's it's very hard to go ahead and make a decision. You know when you don't have dad and you know your eyes you know can't can't watch these players and these teams and stuff like that but. As the year goes on we get stronger so hoping to go ahead and have a nice strong close out to twenty twenty five so yeah go ahead and enter that contest get them bulk dollars and let's get ready to rock and roll for. You know for for for go time yeah there we go big show is going to their pregame dot com sick advantage of all that as we wind down the year. Alright see let's get into our player pro best bet for this episode I'll let you I'll hand it off to you where we going for weeks sixteen for our best bet. All right well you bless me with this one here I get to if this one loses you guys can get at me on access leap your underscore pregame but let's go with the saints quarterback let's go with Tyler shock let's play him over twenty three and a half rushing yards. I'll make this really easy I think when a rookie quarterback comes in. And they go ahead and you know they they give that first impression a lot of people want to see how many people watch Philip Rivers their last week you know everybody was doing an end to see you know what rivers look like and. Same thing with with Chuck I think his first start a lot of people probably tuned in the kind to see you know what what he looked like but after a couple games I really think that these younger guys especially on bad teams they really start to show their true colors and I think that that's what Chuck's doing here he's been running the ball. More and more every game I think the last game he had seven or eight attempts in the game before that was like seven or eight attempts so he's probably going to go right back to go on ahead and run the football. The Saints have two issues here one at the running back position meals going to be out I don't think tomorrow is going to play here. I honestly don't think he's going to play their Monop because I mean he had a pretty significant sprain he's been listed as you know quote unquote questionable but it's been quote unquote questionable for weeks but the report that I got. Multiple weeks ago was that he very likely might not play anymore this season so the running back rooms in trouble and then I think shocks one of his favorite targets valet or valet. He's out so you're taking the target away from your running back room is just a mess and I really think that he's showing you know his true colors that you know he he will go ahead and tuck it in he will run and it's not like he's done bad in that department like the dudes gain some yard. So asking him you know to go ahead and get seven eight attempts in this games not out of the question and 23 and a half yards it just it seems it seems very very doable so I'm going to go with that one. Yeah number one you mentioned the attempts for Tyler shock right over the last four games he's had at least six rush attempts. He's had at least seven and throughout the last four games that he's played in as well back to back weeks he's gone over this number of his rushing yards 32 last week against the panthers yet 55 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two weeks ago. We also take a look I think feel like we're getting a little bit of a discount on this on this number as well because. Prior to earlier in the season the jets haven't really faced a scrambling quarterback they did face Josh Allen he got 56 yards against the jets in that game they played Baker mayfield he got 44 they got 28 from that press God and then 24 from bone nicks and then I believe it was Dylan Gabriel also at 54. Now Lamar Jackson did run the football seven times we only equated to 11 yards but I think the important part there is that he did have seven attempts maybe some of those were kneel downs against the jets there but I think the opportunity again as well is going to be there for him. The interesting part here as well is that the rush attempts are juiced right now over six and a half for Tyler shock in this game so that just kind of tells you what the books are thinking there as well so. I think that he does get into another 30 plus rushing yards in this game here does Tyler shock so I'd love this over at 23 and a half right now as our best bet for week 16. All right that's going to do it here for this edition of the props episode here for week 16 sleepy anything else you want to mention to our listeners before we go our separate ways. Yeah busy week busy weekend coming up you know don't ruin your Christmas this weekend not just yet.

It's 83 degrees down there but yeah so just a heads up that I might be a little bit choppy there over the over the holiday season but yeah I'll be ready.
