0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. Maybe you can do both.
0:04Boost Mobile, what's your plan? We didn't have a great week.
0:07It was our worst week we've had in a little bit.
0:10It was a bad week. We acknowledge it. It hurt.
0:13I think you single-handedly had maybe the worst bet you've ever put on here.
0:17I had multiple bets missed by Parker Washington, 10 targets.
0:20He caught four. Deshaun Watson needed under 28.5 rushing yards.
0:23Guess what he finished with? 29. 29. And you single-handedly, you just threw Cam Skataboo out there.
0:28Like that was scam Scadaboo, Mr. Erickson. Scam Skataboo, yes.
0:31We got Skam Skatabooed last week. All-time worst prop I think I've ever given out since becoming part of Betting Pros.
0:37Probably my entire life just giving out any type of props, picks, etc.
0:41So, and we're not off to a great start here in week seven.
0:44A.J. Brown, A.J. Bum, as he was on Thursday Night Football.
0:48Not a lot of receiving yards for him. So, not feeling super, super great.
0:52But, hey, we have a whole new slate on Sunday.
0:55A little bit of Monday action. And, hey, National Tight Ends Day.
0:58Anything can happen. Because we've got tight ends on the card this week.
1:02So, we know that these coaches love getting these tight ends involved.
1:05George Kittle, you know, he's going to have a big monster game.
1:09All of these tight ends. So, we're looking to rebound, bounce back.
1:12And, I mean, nowhere to go with up. Just like Cam Skataboo's touches.
1:16Scam. Skam Scadaboo. Alright, so what it was last week.
1:19You're better than me. I was one and four.
1:22That's horrifically bad. You were two and three. We were both under 500.
1:26I hit the touchdown, though. And you did not hit a touchdown.
1:29So, you had a zero touchdown call. Negative ROI.
1:32I had a positive ROI because I had the one touchdown call.
1:35Here's a fun fact on your tight ends, by the way.
1:38We both. I don't even know how this is possible.
1:41But we both only have two touchdown calls on the year.
1:44Which is also incredible. But all our touchdown calls have been tight ends.
1:48I just want to throw that out. Every correct touchdown call has been a tight end so far.
1:54So, we'll have to be dealing with that. So, two touchdown calls correctly on both sides.
1:58We're both like slightly under ROI for the year on the touchdown calls.
2:02Because of that, we're essentially about like a unit under.
2:05No first touchdown calls. Bad week on the season.
2:08You are still doing good on the season, though.
2:1015 and 10. I am 11 and 14. Last week really killed me.
2:14So, we have got to turn the slate. One good thing about this before we jump into our props.
2:20We officially are going into a Jameer Gibbs rollover week.
2:22If you haven't been following along, we have five weeks under our belt of every single week betting the touchdown.
2:28Anytime touchdown for Jameer Gibbs. Then taking those winnings and rolling that over next week.
2:33And next week. And the following week. So, I think you might have mentioned it last week.
2:38But going into this week, the Lions going up against the Packers.
2:41Meant to be a high scoring. I think the total is 53 and a half.
2:45What were we adding? Like four or five units?
2:48Or somewhere around that. What was that marker? Was it like, was it five or was it like four and a half?
2:55It's like four and a half units. Okay. Is where we're at with the Jameer Gibbs.
2:59And the fact that he's talking about wanting to break the Dainley and Talaminson's record.
3:04This is very good for those that have been tailing this approach throughout the first five weeks, six weeks of the season.
3:10Because this is now just not a Jameer Gibbs goal.
3:13This is now becoming a team goal where they enter the fourth quarter and they're looking around and being like, wait, has Gibbs scored a touchdown yet?
3:21Oh, no. We need to get Gibbs' touchdown so that he breaks the record, which I believe is 32 total touchdowns by the Dainley and Talaminson.
3:28Now, obviously, Gibbs has an extra game to get it done.
3:32So, but yeah. I mean, that's when we pull back, right?
3:35He's like, well, we broke the record. Now we got to cash out.
3:39Well, I mean, you're sitting at four and a half and it's going to be like minus 200 something this week.
3:45I didn't even look. It's usually between, I've seen it as juiced up as 400.
3:49And then sometimes you get it, get a value at 300 or 275 or something along those lines.
3:54Again, you can also boost it if sometimes you get that opportunity, but usually those are also capped too.
4:00So, I mean, the four and a half units potentially can move to seven, maybe max, like probably more like six units.
4:06And then we're really going to be talking. So, let's hope he scores.
4:10We continue the Jameer Gibbs touchdown rollover. Five weeks of it by week last week.
4:15We step back into it. So, we step into a better week.
4:18We step into some Jameer Gibbs touchdowns. And hopefully we can step into some banked props.
4:23So, let's jump into it. We've got five props a piece, 10 total.
4:26Then we'll talk about some touchdowns. Eric, so why don't you kick us off with your first prop for week seven?
4:33Going with Kyron Williams over 60 and a half rushing yard.
4:36I really wanted to attack this slate with Kyron Williams.
4:39I think there's like a little bit of a not squeaky wheel, but hey, I'm really good.
4:44Give me the ball type of wheel narrative going with Kyron Williams, who was kind of vocal after not seeing the ball
4:50enough times in the Rams loss to the Arizona Cardinals, where Rams offense that kind of looked out of sync erratic.
4:56And when they asked Kyron after the game, like, you know, why couldn't the offense get in rhythm?
5:01He's like, well, I'm not out there. So, that's one of the issues.
5:05Like, I'm not getting the rock. I'm not getting the ball.
5:08So, we know Sean McVay and Kyron, like that Kyron is this guy.
5:12He always takes care of him. There were reports this off season that they had meetings about getting him more involved in
5:19the passing game, which has been very apparent throughout the season.
5:22Like he is putting up career highs in terms of his receiving usage.
5:26And you have a Rams offense that's banged up, right?
5:29Looking for answers. John Adams is not going to play.
5:32Pukunukua left practice on Thursday with a calf injury.
5:34So TBD on whether he's going to play in this game or not.
5:38But regardless, I think that means we're going to see more of Kyron Williams in a really juicy matchup against the Raiders,
5:44who are allowing the second most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs.
5:48114 rushing yards allowed per game. So, originally I was willing to go to the rushing attempts for Kyron Williams.
5:54He'd gone over 14 and a half carries in three of his last four games.
5:59But I just think it's just going to be, I'm going to attack the rushing yardage here, not mess around with any
6:05type of split he has with Blake Corum. I just think that he has an opportunity to really produce against a bad Raiders run defense.
6:12And if you look at last year in the three games he played without Devontae Adams in the lineup, he had 23
6:19carries in the first game that Devontae Adams missed.
6:21The yardage in those three games, 70 yards, 92 yards and 60 yards.
6:25So I'm feeling pretty good. I took the over on his attempts too, but for the sake of the show, I figured
6:32I felt most comfortable about the props and the prop at cheat sheet also gave this the highest star rating versus the
6:38rushing attempts, especially because the rushing attempts also moved.
6:41It was at 13 and a half. And I looked at it earlier, moved up to 14 and a half.
6:47So didn't like that as much just because, Hey, we're trying to get the best numbers here.
6:52So 60 and a half rushing yards was the one that I liked the most.
6:56And if you look at the rent running backs, the Raiders have faced 95 yards, James Cook, Stevenson, 64, Ken Walker, 177,
7:02HN 57, 94 to O'Marion Hampton, all overs for the last five running backs that they've played.
7:07Love it. All right. I am going with some low hanging fruit, but this was one that Erickson text me about after he saw it on the sheet.
7:15And I thought it was really funny because it was like, you're like, I want it.
7:20This needed to be on the sheet. And if you didn't do it, you were going to force me to do it.
7:27And I was like, well, why didn't you put it on here?
7:30But this, this doesn't have a lot of data back to it because this guy hasn't played in two years.
7:36We are absolutely hammering the over on a tank Dell receiving yard prop.
7:40This is not his longest reception prop, by the way, this is his receiving yards.
7:448.5 over and he hasn't played in two years, but he has been a favorite target of CJ Stroud four years and
7:50the better, the, you know, better pros, the, the cheat sheet.
7:54It doesn't really have like a big support for it.
7:57It's around eight. I don't think anything or anybody really knows what to do with it.
8:01But, you know, if you do go and stare at game logs, like when he has been active prior to this, which again, the landscape is so different.
8:09Nico has taken over. They've got Marv, you know, they've gotten all, but he's never gone under this prop at 8.5 yards when he's active, his longest reception.
8:18He has never had a longest reception under eight.
8:20Nine is actually the absolute lowest. So this is the peak bottom.
8:24And I'll tell you this, I don't expect him to play a full snap share.
8:28I think that's, they're also like robust with wide receivers.
8:31But what I do expect is when he is out there, it is going to be in a design where Stroud is going to be looking for him.
8:39And that even if it is a singular catch, I think you and I might've joked about this, that there might be
8:46like, Oh, what do you think the one catch prop was?
8:49And I think I had said, it's going to be two like, no, they're not going to give you a 0.5 over.
8:55They're going to give you a 1.5 and it'll be heavily juiced.
8:59That is exactly what's happening. But one catch he's going to go over this.
9:03So it's a little bit low hanging fruit here, but tank Dell, if back expectation is back.
9:08Even if it's low snap counts, he just route is going to find him in stride for an over 8.5 receiving, uh, for a catch.
9:15And I'll tell you the one, my one dumb prop that did hit last week was my very first prop I dropped on here.
9:22And this is kind of my level of confidence.
9:25So you just want to throw anything else in because you put a little LFG next to this.
9:30You text me about it. Like, why didn't you have the cojones to lock this in here?
9:35Why were you so glad that I did it?
9:38Well, because you were the one cause you've been the tank Dell guy for the most part, whether it's on the fantasy
9:44pro shows and I want to see him succeed.
9:47So you can be happy. And I do have a couple of thoughts and a couple of nuggets.
9:52I wanted to list because this is definitely a squad ride with tank Dell because when tank tells back on the field, we all win.
9:59Let's be honest, right? Everyone wants to see this guy succeed after what he did and coming back from this devastating, I
10:06mean, multiple injuries that he had, you know, the broken fibula and then the knee injury, just absolutely devastating, missing all of last year.
10:13For him to come back and be like, dude, I'm just excited to be on the field again.
10:18Right? Like that's what he's been saying is press conferences.
10:21So a couple of points about Dell. So I know you mentioned basically how he's never really been under nine and a half receiving yards.
10:28So over his first two seasons in the NFL, he generated explosive reception or 15 or more yards on 5.3% of his routes run.
10:35That was 17th highest among receivers with at least 500 routes run over that span.
10:39He recorded over a thousand receiving yards on downfield receptions, 10 plus air yards.
10:44That was 28th most during that span to coach speak again.
10:47Shout out Greg Brandos from the coach speak index.
10:49This is what to me. Go Ryan said about tank Dell and kind of what will the play workload be like?
10:56It's a feel as we get into the game.
10:58There's no expectation. Like tank has to hit a certain play number for me getting tank back out there after missing two
11:05years of football is the main thing. Him just going out there playing ball.
11:09I don't care how many reps he gets. I'll have my tank Dell jersey on on Sunday.
11:14This is the head coach who underneath his Texans gear is going to be wearing a tank Dell.
11:19You're telling me first snap he's not out there.
11:21They're not looking to get him the ball 15 deep.
11:24And then the last point, and this actually shouts out one of the tools on the betting pros site, our sharp money tool.
11:31Sharps are backing tank Dell over at half a reception at months 186.
11:35So that's based on the prediction market liquidity 2.5 K.
11:38That's what the prediction market suggests suggesting that people are backing the tank Dell over again.
11:43We like the over especially him to keep. We know he's going to catch at least one pass.
11:48Feel pretty confident about that. So if you can find that number out there, even if it's a heavy juice, I know
11:54underdog looks like has it listed at minus 179.
11:57But I think, yeah, dude, I think he's going to catch pass and it's going to be over 10 yards.
12:03We're in. We're locked. If you want to play the the dual, you are going to it's like plus 170 range that
12:09you're seeing in a lot of spots. If you want to play the two receptions, if you want to live in that world.
12:16But 8.5, 9.5. I mean, those are the numbers you're looking at.
12:19We are officially locked in here at 8.5. But I would just give you guys a suggestion that you can go over
12:26to betting pros and you can check out the the prop analyzer.
12:29And it's going to show you where all of the odds are on every single spot for these props.
12:35So if you want to play the reception yards, you can go in.
12:39You can scroll through and you can see. I actually see you want your best.
12:43I gotta be honest with you. I should be able to lock this in.
12:47There's a 6.5. I see a 6.5 on this bad boy.
12:50I see a 7.5 and 8.5. We'll play at 8.5.
12:53Tank Dell. You go do that. Receiving yards over is the play.
12:57And not just the analyzer is going to help you out, but the prop cheat sheet.
13:01So you can find the best NFL player prop bets with the betting pros prop cheat sheet.

13:16That's bettingpros.com slash props. All right, Erickson. Number two for you for the week.
13:20What do you got? This one's a five star bet courtesy of the betting pros prop bet cheat sheet.
13:25Kyler Murray under 30 and a half pass attempts.
13:28Past attempts prop did not work out last week with Michael Penix.
13:31Although I feel like the process was sound and he really just got there in the fourth quarter when they just start
13:38slinging the ball because the Bears play a lot of bully ball.
13:41So I feel confident going back to the past attempts.
13:44This has usually been really profitable with the prop bet cheat sheet.
13:48Kyler Murray's only gone over this number one time in his three starts so far this season where he has played the full game.
13:55The quarterback likes to scramble. So that automatically takes out some of the passing attempts for his season or for the for the game.
14:02Only one quarterback this year has attempted more than 31 passes against the Colts.
14:06And that was in the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes game when that went into overtime.
14:10So took extra innings for a quarterback to really go heavily above 31 pass attempts.
14:14And you look at the Colts defense, their 30 second EPA per rush face this season.
14:19So I don't know exactly how the Vikings will attack the Colts defensively.
14:23I just know however they do it. It's going to be really efficiently because the Colts defense has just been bad like
14:29a bottom five defense overall, whether you look at from a run standpoint there, we look at from a past standpoint.
14:35I think the Vikings kind of pick and choose how they want to attack it.
14:40And the fact that they're getting their running backs healthy toward Mason is coming back from injured reserve.
14:45They have Aaron Jones. I think maybe they do lean on the ground game a little bit here and not force Kyler
14:51Murray to drop back 31 times, especially when I don't take the Colts off.
14:55It's going to generate that much against Brian Flores defense.
14:58So Minnesota has been bottom eight and pass rate and pass rate over expectations so far this season.
15:04You look at the past attempts against the Colts.
15:06Cam Ward 22, Rogers 31, Marcus Mariota got hurt in that game.
15:10So Stroud 27, Mahomes 47 is the big one that stands out, but even like the Mar Jackson at 25.
15:16So I like the under here. Someone once said, everybody's got a plan to get punched in the mouth.
15:21I did Mike Tyson. Well, your mobile plan is punching you in the mouth with prices that can knock you out.

16:30All right. I am going to be playing another over and I'm going to Trey Tucker.
16:35Going to boy Trey Tucker going up against the Rams, which is a tougher matchup.
16:39This is 40.5 on the receiving yards. This is right at projections on betting pros.
16:43So there's not really like a heavy lean they can give us.
16:47So there's no big star graded out rating, but I'm going to be taking the over which he has hit in five straight games.
16:54Also, I love this tool on betting pros. You can check out the comparable players versus the Rams because I mean Rams secondary is pretty strong.
17:02That's there's not a big plus as far as like grading out that this is going to work in favor for.
17:08But what I do expect is I expect the Rams are going to be out for blood and I expect, you know,
17:14I say I expect but like if Puka Takua is out, maybe this is going to be a different game.
17:20But if the Rams are running with the lead on this, you know, three straight loss Raiders team and they're reeling a
17:26little bit, they are going to be passing and Brock Bowers is going to have a lot of coverage towards him.
17:32But if you look at the comparable comparable player tool on fantasy pros or betting pros, excuse me, versus the Rams, all
17:39six wide receivers that are locked in on that comparable side have gone over the receiving prop against the Rams.
17:45So five straight for him. It's a low total at 40.5 seven wide receivers that have faced the Rams have gone at
17:51least over this receiving yard prop every single game except one one wide wide receiver not tight end but one wide receiver
17:58has gone over this receiving prop as well. The only game was the Eagles and that has been a struggle every other game.
18:04They have gone over a wide receiver has gone over this.
18:07In fact, the 49ers think in week one had three wide receivers that hit this prop.
18:12So it's a low hanging number for Trey Tucker who's kind of played like a pseudo number one.
18:17So I really like this one for Trey Tucker to go over 40.5 receiving yards.
18:22All right, let's go into prop number three for each of us.
18:25This is going to be number five total here in Erickson.
18:28You are living up to your undertaker moniker. Another under for you.
18:32I'm going back to the Giants backfield, hopefully to find better success this week.
18:36Tyrone Tracy under 25 and a half rushing yards.
18:39So we're not exactly sure how this Giants backfield is going to shake out, although the tea leaves are really pointing strongly
18:45towards a Cam Scadaboo type of bounce back here.
18:48Now, I'm not brave enough to take the over on Cam Scadaboo and whatever his rushing yards or rushing attempts props are
18:54because they've probably been nuked compared to his season long ones.
18:57But all the reports out of the Giants training this week have been that, yeah, like Scadaboo is back in the RB1 chair.
19:04Except the light. I don't know if you saw the light.
19:07I mean, it'd catch up. But there was like one report that came out like a couple hours ago that was like
19:14he is still in the doghouse and that they are going to be looking at acquiring a running back, which I think was kind of silly.
19:21Like why? You know, like, I mean, I guess they're top of the division.
19:25But just to throw that as a little side because I'm the dummy that's been on all our networks like Cam Cam's going to bounce back.
19:33And he he took accountability for it. And there's a report out there that like the accountability don't mean nothing.
19:39But I just wanted to throw that out there.
19:41Regardless, it's a backfield that we're not exactly sure what's how it's going to shake out.
19:46Right. There's a lot of question marks about who's going to see what now.
19:50Could it be again? I think it's going to be Scadaboo that's going to be back in the lead, not to the
19:57extent that he's a full blown workhorse, but he'll lead the backfield.
20:00Tyron Tracy will mix in. Devin Singletary will probably mix in, too, just based on kind of what we saw last week.
20:07But last week we saw Tyron Tracy lead the backfield in terms of his carries, but he was very underwhelming in terms
20:13of what he actually did on the ground. He had six carries for 18 yards, right?
20:18And a rushing touchdown. He didn't even leave the team in snaps.
20:21That was Devin Singletary. Now, part of that had to do with them playing in comeback mode in the second half of the game.
20:28But I think in a backfield committee, that's a total mess in a matchup that's really brutal.
20:33I just want to fade this backfield into oblivion.
20:36So the Texans are allowing the seventh fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs.
20:40Second fewest yards per carry this season overall at 3.4.
20:43They've only allowed 10 rushing attempts of 10 plus yards.
20:46Dead last in rushing yards over expectation per attempt allowed.
20:49Fifth fewest rushing yards allowed before contact. I mean, Tyron Tracy hasn't necessarily been that good when he's had the opportunities so far this season.
20:56And when you look at the combined efforts of those running backs that got to play last week, not Cam Scadaboo, you
21:03had 14 carries for 34 yards in week six.
21:05So when Tyron Tracy was previously in the committee with Cam Scadaboo earlier in the season, when he had his rushing prop
21:12listed, it was more around 15.5, 16.5 yards. I feel like that's what his number should be closer to.
21:17Just based on if we get to see something similar to what we saw to start the year where Cam Scadaboo is
21:24the lead or the 1A, Tyron Tracy kind of mixing as a 1B.
21:28So just given the matchup is totally brutal, the fact that Tyron Tracy really hasn't been that efficient, he's only averaged, I
21:34believe, 3.1 yards per carry this season. I mean, there's a chance that there's no run game and no running back can be successful.
21:41And that's why they want to trade for another running back because nobody on this team is actually going to make a difference.
21:48So 25.5 rushing yards is high enough for me where I feel good taking the under in a tough matchup.
21:54All right, we are going to jump over to Geno Smith for my prop.
21:58Oh, yes, Geno Smith. Passing yards. Geno Smith passing yards over 220.
22:01Why? We are picking on the Miami Dolphins as you do and as you can pick on the Dolphins.
22:07Geno Smith has hit this in three of his last five.
22:10The Dolphins have given up the passing yard prop to quarterbacks in three of their last four, going 240 plus on each one of those.
22:17There's actually also a couple lines on a couple spots of like 240 floating around for Geno Smith.
22:23So that might be played up just a little bit to monitor where that could be heading into the near future.
22:29But, I mean, the Dolphins grades have been bad.
22:31The Dolphins 30th of 32 against quarterbacks as far as like pass coverage go.
22:35They really struggle on tight ends and running backs.
22:38Not necessarily, you know, the spot that we want the Dolphins struggle with that.
22:42We want Geno Smith to be just peppering Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper.
22:46But if Braylon Allen and Brees is back, that's still a good thing.
22:50Sadiq can make some big plays. And this is a relatively low number.
22:53And another fun fact is the Dolphins have given up 20 completions every single game to quarterback.
22:58So every single quarterback that has played them has completed 20 or more passes.
23:03When Geno Smith this season completes 20 more passes, he smashes this number.
23:06He smashes this passing yard total. So 20 or 220.5.
23:09So essentially 221 on the over. That's where I'm going to go with this bad boy.
23:14Geno Smith on the passing yards. Three up, three down for both of us.
23:18We've got our final two coming up here in a second.
23:21But let's talk about our friends over at Polymarket.

23:54All right. Our fourth props in. Erickson, can you play an over?
23:57This is one of yours that got squashed a little bit because some injury news out there.
24:02So talk to us about your fourth prop of the week.
24:05National tight ends day is on Sunday. So naturally, we have to be betting some overs on some tight ends.
24:11Tyler Higby over four and a half receptions. This is open to three and a half.
24:16The line has moved because of the injuries to Devontae Adams and obviously Puka Nakua, where when we're recording, we don't know
24:22exactly whether he's going to play or not. So just keep that in mind as we kind of see these numbers move up and down.
24:30But I don't think this is going to a point where it's going to be five and a half receptions.
24:35Maybe his yards will move up. So I still feel pretty good about four and a half receptions for Tyler Higby.
24:41He has three straight games with at least 62 plus receiving yards, three of them since week three.
24:47Excuse me. And he has four catches in four straight games, five plus catches and 62 plus yards and three of them since week three.
24:54Now, last week was when he got outproduced by Kobe Parkinson.
24:57Parkinson actually was the more productive of the two Rams tight ends.
25:01And there's actually a lot of sharp money on the over with Kobe Parkinson as well.
25:05But I think that they're missing the narrative here with Tyler Higby actually having the better usage in the Rams offense.
25:12So even though Parkinson was more productive, when you look at who was running the majority of the routes and who was
25:18playing more snaps, it was actually Tyler Higby. So I actually like him a little bit more in this matchup.
25:24His route participation hit a season high at 78%.
25:26Meanwhile, Parkinson was at 53%. So although Parkinson probably is a better bet for like an anytime touchdown in this Rams offense,
25:33I think just from my reception standpoint, especially against the Raiders, Las Vegas allowed the third most catch to tight ends of this season.
25:40Higby has been kind of Matthew Stafford's check down guy over the last month.
25:44Again, four catches in four straight games. And I think that continues with the compromise at the wide receiver position.
25:50All right. My number four, it's going to be a funny one because I was poking at you all week about Bo
25:56Nix and more about Jalen Waddell was more of what it was about.
26:00We've had a lot of Bo Nix conversations from fantasy pros on the rank side to our tailgate channel with Alfredo Brown.
26:06And I think there's one undeniable thing. Cardinals are a bad secondary.
26:10Um, it's, it's, there's definitely a immovable object force.
26:13There's a, there's a, an accurate, there's a saying in there that I clearly cannot say, but it is a bad Bo Nix and a bad secondary.
26:20And what is going to lay out at the end of the day, Bo Nix has been really, really atrocious, but the Cardinals look at this.
26:28They have given up to, at least two passing touchdowns, two quarterbacks in five straight weeks.
26:33That is a 16 to three touchdown to interception ratio on the year.
26:36The only one was the chargers only one in week one.
26:40Every other week, you've seen a quarterback have multi-touchdown games, but Nix has not been able to do that a whole lot
26:46this season, but this is your get right situation.
26:491.5 over on the passing touchdowns. It's a plus money play right now with all of that coverage from a grading system.
26:55The Cardinals are worse than the dolphins right now.
26:5831 to 32. As far as quarterbacks go, they're not rushing the quarterback whatsoever, which is huge for Bo Nix.
27:04Bo hasn't really been running a whole lot and he's made some bad decisions without any big pass rush.
27:09This is huge. Their wide receiver coverage. Now this has comes back into play with your defensive Jalen Waddle this week.
27:15You were like, where's a Jalen Waddle anytime touchdown?
27:1831 of 32 in wide receiver coverage. They struggle with tight ends.
27:21They struggle with running backs. Cardinals struggle kind of across the board.
27:25This is a potential Bo Nix get right situation.
27:28Maybe the yards aren't going to be there at the end of the day.
27:32Maybe they are going to line up into, you know, having some running backs go, but some good play action in the
27:38Cardinals give it up in the air and two touchdowns, two passing touchdowns for Bo Nix is my play at plus money over 1.5.
27:45I'm going to roll with you guys. I'm going to roll with your, uh, your Bronco love.
27:50It's going to take us to our final props.
27:53I've actually got another Bronco I'm going to talk about here in a second, but you are going to jump back into national tight ends day.
28:00So your final prop before we get to our touchdowns, who is it?
28:04Birthday boy, Pat Fryer, going over 29 and a half receiving arts.
28:08His birthday is on Sunday. It's national tight ends day.
28:10So, I mean, if Aaron Rodgers is going to feed any one of these tight ends, it's going to be Pat Fryer.
28:17But so he's coming off a disappointing game. One of his worst games of the season.
28:22But if you recall Welsh, he was a late addition to the injury report last week.
28:26So I think that he wasn't playing at a hundred percent.
28:29It looked like he actually got banged up towards the end of that game.
28:34Anyway, that being said, the Muth has gone over 29 and a half receiving yards in four of his six games played this season.
28:41And the matchup against the saints is one you want to attack with these tight ends.
28:45They've allowed the third most receiving arts, two tight ends this season.
28:49They have faced seven different tight ends that have all gone over 30 receiving yards.
28:53So it's a really low number. I know that Fryer Muth can be kind of frustrating because he still mixes in with Darnell Washington.
29:00But if you look at the rest of the Steelers, it's DK Metcalf, it's Jeremy Bernard, and then it's the tight ends, right?
29:07They don't really have anyone else. Again, they used to running backs a little bit in the past game as well.
29:13But I think in this specific matchup, this is a spot where Fryer Muth can really thrive.
29:18And the fact that he still was running more routes than Darnell Washington last week, despite the fact that he was banged
29:24up and missed time because of injury. I think that means he's going to be running closer to 70, 80% of the
29:31routes next week in a positive matchup. And it's his birthday, man.
29:34And Rodgers loves birthdays. So Fryer Muth, 30 receiving yards, walk it in.
29:38I love you, a birthday narrative. You need to lock in the birthdays that align to Sundays and just get ready.
29:44We can just have future casting for the bets.
29:47All right. I am going to stick in the Denver Broncos game.
29:50And you can tell me at the end of the day if you like this one or not.
29:56But I'm going to go J.K. Dobbins, and I am going to take my first under of the slate.
30:01Under. I had it at 51, I guess, now that I'm looking over on betting pros.
30:06I am not seeing. No, I see a 51.
30:08I get to lock it in. I still see a 51.5.
30:12So I'm going to keep that even though there's some 50.5s.
30:15And there's a couple of things here. Going up against the Cardinals.
30:18It mentioned the Cardinals defense is bad, but it's really bad in the secondary.
30:22They've actually, I mean, they're averaging about 100 yards given up per game to running backs, which doesn't make you feel great.
30:29But last week against the Rams, they kept both Corum and Kyron Williams under this total number.
30:34They've been able to do that a couple times against running backs.
30:37But also, it's been more primary share guys. Jameer Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, they've ate them up.
30:42But something I want to present to you is if Jonah Coleman is active, I think this is a spot where we
30:48are going to see Peyton bring in Jonah Coleman into the threshold, into the fray of all these guys.
30:54RJ Harvey gets his run. And I'm not confident that you're going to see that lion's share from J.K.
30:59Dobbins. Cardinals, it's not a great matchup also from a grade perspective.
31:03Overall, it's kind of a fair grade overall matchup according to PFF.
31:06Defensive front as far as like missed tackles, they haven't allowed a lot of yards after contact.
31:11Their defensive front doesn't grade super well. But I think this is like the correlative play where I think the Broncos are
31:18going to be able to pass the ball with some success.
31:21You're going to have RJ Harvey in there. And I really think you'll get back to that three back system with how much Peyton had talked.
31:29I remember in the preseason, it was like we don't need to see anything more from Coleman.
31:34We've seen what we've had. He got hurt. He's back into it.
31:37So I think he could take some of that share away.
31:40Dobbins could hurt me with a big play, of course.
31:43But I'm going to go under 51.5 on the rushing yards.
31:46What do you think about Coleman, you know, I don't know, boosting the odds on this, kind of taking away from the other backs?
31:53Or do you think I'm in some scary waters right now?
31:57No, I think you're attacking this game with the right approach.
32:00I think that given the matchup against Arizona Cardinals being really soft, this is an opportunity where how about we build Bo Nix's confidence, right?
32:07And just like let him sling. Because this happens, right?
32:10The NFL quarterbacks don't care who they're throwing touchdowns against.
32:13All I know is I did good. Like I played well.
32:16I don't care what defense it was against. That helps build momentum.
32:20So the fact that Dobbins has been underwhelming in an efficiency standpoint, even if he does see the majority of carries, there's
32:26no guarantee he will even get to 51.5 rushing yards.
32:29So I know we talked about on the ranking show how he's averaging career lows across the board in terms of his
32:35yards per carry yards after contact per attempt, etc.
32:38So I think it makes sense that they would get Jonah Coleman more involved now that he's healthy and ready to go.
32:45RJ Harvey's always going to mix in as well.
32:47So I like someone. And I actually was looking at his rushing attempts as well at 14.5, and I was considering the under on that one.
32:55That was one I was – I left off my card, but it was a – I was looking at Dobbins, and
33:01I was looking to pound some of Zunders. And the last – you know, I didn't even mention this.
33:07I almost forgot coming out of this. He's only gone over this prop once.
33:11Like this number, 50.5. He has only gone over this one game this entire season, and that was against the Chargers.
33:17Yeah, it was the Chargers. It was the only game that he's gone over this.
33:21So Jonah Coleman back. Not a history of it.
33:24I don't care what Peyton's doing. I think it's a little bit more Coleman.
33:28I think we are playing the under. Those are our 10 props.
33:31But we ain't done because it's touchdown time. If you guys are looking for an edge in touchdown bets, our touchdown score
33:38report compares anytime touchdown stats to prop bet odds and projections to help identify the best anytime touchdown bets.
33:43Head over to bettingpros.com slash touchdown for the latest touchdown prop analysis today.
33:47All right, Erickson, what do we got? It is National Tight Ends Day.
33:51Are you going to keep with the theme? And again, remember, we have only hit tight end touchdowns this year.
33:57That is the only touchdown that we have – and now we've had some good odds on them, by the way.
34:03That's why we like to usually bet them. Anywhere from two to three to one has kind of been the play for tight ends.
34:10So are you going to go with a couple tight ends?
34:13And what are the odds? Not only have we only hit tight ends with our anytime touchdown bets, I have only hit
34:20tight ends the weeks that they've played the Detroit Lions.
34:23With their anytime touchdowns. So that's exactly what I'm doing.
34:25I'm not going to try to shake it up, dude.
34:28Just play the hits, man. Especially when it comes to Tucker Craft on National Tight Ends Day.
34:33He has scored three touchdowns over the last two National Tight End days.
34:37143 yards and two touchdowns last year on seven catches and nine targets in 2024.
34:42National Tight Ends Day, Tucker Craft. Three catches for 78 yards and one touchdown.
34:46What team has allowed more touchdown – or note, what team has allowed those touchdowns to tight ends this season?
34:51It has been the Detroit Lions. So I know they're getting Brian Branch back.
34:56So maybe that will be the reason why Tucker Craft doesn't score a touchdown.
35:00But he just has to beat the guy on one route and he'll score.
35:04So with all the attention on Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, and Josh Jacobs, Tucker Craft's kind of falling to the wayside a little bit.
35:11But I think Jordan Love on National Tight Ends Day is going to be like, let's get our guy going.
35:17He's coming off the injury from last year. Let's get this guy some yards out to the catch.
35:22So Tucker Craft for me, especially at plus 180 in a game where I'm expecting a lot of scoring.
35:27Obviously, Jameer Gibbs, he's going to score a touchdown.
35:30So I think Tucker Craft is going to score on the other side.
35:34More on that one later. More on Tucker Craft later.
35:37I'm going to join you. Couldn't love that one more.
35:40All right. So that's your kind of like – I don't know what it's called safe play.
35:45But remember, we like to play them between like 1-2-1.
35:47And then we like to have a little bit of a bigger call.
35:51So where's your bigger call? And then just go right back to Pat Frymuth.
35:55I like his receiving yards in this matchup against the Saints.
35:59They've given up a lot of touchdown production as well, just being bad against tight ends in general.
36:04And Pat Frymuth has been involved heavily in the red zone this season.
36:08He has four touchdowns already on the year, five red zone targets.
36:11The Steelers love to target their two tight ends in the red zone.
36:15Him and Darnell Washington have combined for eight end zone targets, 10 red zone targets with six touchdowns total.
36:20So again, it's Pat Frymuth's birthday. I can see it right now.
36:24We're going to be entering 1230. And it's going to be trending on X as Pat Frymuth National Tight Ends Day because
36:30he's going to be playing in the early Paris game.
36:33And I guarantee they're going to be talking about, Oh, did you see Pat Frymuth on National Tight Ends Day in Paris go off?
36:40Yeah, it's going to happen. Maybe we could have another one of those.
36:44Remember when Rodgers threw to like every tight end on the roster?
36:48Remember it was like all three? Like we could have another one of those for National Tight Ends Day.
36:53All right. I like it. I am sticking with at least one of the tight end themes here.
36:58And I don't remember the last time you saw like Trey McBride, like almost the same odds at Tucker Kraft, but plus 140.
37:05I know they obviously haven't got things going, but yeah, not the worst spot here.
37:10Denver Broncos, they're kind of median in general as far as tight end coverage goes, but they have given up touchdowns to
37:16tight ends in three of the last four games.
37:19So a National Tight Ends Day, Trey McBride. Let's get that.
37:22And I also think they're going to be playing from behind and they're going to be passing the ball a whole bunch.
37:28Before you get to your next one, I just want to say the Trey McBride call is so awesome because Trey McBride
37:35called out National Tight Ends Day last year because the Cardinals were on a bye week.
37:39So he didn't even get to celebrate it last year.
37:42So he has a vendetta against National Tight Ends Day.
37:45So yes, guaranteed lock to score this week. Guaranteed lock.
37:48What I also like too is like what we've seen in teams is take their top corners to lock down Michael Wilson
37:54because that's where, and that's where that could think you could start to go like, oh, you know, the Sertanza.
38:00Like, I think you're going to have heavy coverage.
38:03It has to be looked at it with Michael Wilson.
38:06And teams have seen success in shutting him down, shuts everything down.
38:09And then they just have to worry about coverage on McBride.
38:13And I think they're going to be passing the ball a whole bunch.
38:16And, you know, they'll probably go back and forth, but this is a solid matchup for Trey McBride on National Tight Ends Day.
38:23The other one, I guess there's like a slight Homer call to it, but give me Christian Kirk at three and a half to one.
38:30I don't think Mike Evans is going to play.
38:33If he does play, it kind of opens up everything still.
38:36George Kittle is out screaming the good word of Christian Kirk.
38:39Yes, they've got Brandon Cooks. And this team, I've jokingly kind of been talking about him even on tailgate earlier this year.
38:46Like this team is actually optimistic about what he is in the offense.
38:50George Kittle absolutely loves him. I think we are going, based on all the injuries, we are going to see him in those two wide receiver sets.
38:57He's going to get coverage on Purdy. And when they get in the red zone, you're going to have a lot of Atlantic coverage.
39:05It's going to be hovered over Kittle and hovered over McCaffrey.
39:08And if there's no Mike Evans, it's going to be slot work for Christian Kirk.
39:12So three and a half to one Christian Kirk plus 360.
39:15That is my second touchdown on the big play.
39:18So I guess I went away from the National Tight Ends Day.
39:21Last up here, first touchdowns. You've got a big dog here.
39:25Actually, I'm going to get mine out of the way.
39:28You already mentioned him. Everything you said, attach it to Tucker Craft and now put it on the first touchdown.
39:33That's all that it is. All of your amazingly great analysis, I'm lockstep with.
39:37PFF grades Tucker Craft as the number one tight end matchup for this week.
39:42Coverage stinks across the board. So let's just get the first touchdown.
39:45It's I believe I have it at 14 to one.
39:48So Tucker Craft first touchdown 14 to one on National Tight Ends Day.
39:52That's my play. You have a much, much bigger tight end first touchdown call.
39:56Ravens tight end, not Mark Andrews. Can't do that.
39:58Matthew Hibner, 55 to one to score the first touchdown for the Baltimore Ravens.
40:03So for those who aren't familiar, Matthew Hibner is a rookie tight end from SMU.
40:07Big fan. Debro is of Matthew Hibner, as he likes to call him, Matthew Him-ner.
40:11Him-ner. Because he is him. He did score a touchdown earlier this season.
40:15But what I'm encouraged about with Hibner is they heavily use him in the red zone.
40:20If you look at his just total snap percentage this year, he ranks top 15 among all tight ends in terms of snaps inside the 10-yard line.
40:28He missed last week because he had a hand injury, but he's been practicing in full this week.
40:33So I'm expecting him to be back in the lineup.
40:36The Ravens have been using both of their rookie tight ends a little bit more this year because they lost Durham Smythe to a torn Achilles injury.
40:44So it's been him and Josh Quavos that have kind of really stepped in and played 30, 40, 50% of the snaps.
40:50But Hibner was ahead of Quavos before his injury.
40:53If Hibner gets back to around his 50% snap rate, where he was around weeks three and four, he's going to see red zone opportunities.
41:00And when you're facing the Cincinnati Bengals, it's the flow chart, man.
41:04Where do you go when you attack the Bengals?
41:06Like this week, I'm just attacking all the teams I know are bad against tight ends.
41:11That's the Saints. That's the Lions. And that's the Bengals.
41:14Oh my. Okay. We're trying to get right, man.
41:16We're trying to get right. And remember, the first touchdown, you cash your first touchdown, your touchdowns are golden for the season.
41:23You're good for the rest of the year. You're solid.
41:26So 55 to 1. Yeah, 55 to 1. This was the process I followed way back when, when I hit my first touchdown bet, Donald Parham Jr.
41:34for the Los Angeles Chargers. He was playing in a high scoring game.
41:37He was a tight end that had got a lot of red zone snaps.
41:42And I was like, all right, I think there's something here.
41:45So trying to follow the process here with Matthew Hibner.
41:48And he's going to deliver because he's him. All right.
