that is like a delicate ten-year-old.
What?
Sometimes there for me, sometimes there for you.
There you go. Matthew Berry topping it out. Magical times.
You get out something now. Yeah,
just let it lay.
Let it lie flat for a little bit.
All right guys. Chief Spangles this is just how do I even
start? All right.
Patrick Mahomes dealing with
is what I'm really going for right there, Lawrence and she
just left our minds. No no
no. But then I thought that's not fair. Let you have that
image and your drive home.
Really, I activated the sickness as we've left
the regular season of the NFL. Thank you, Matthew Berry this
is the longest because normally, when I was back at
ESPN,
the regular season ended and then I was done. But not, that
would be really scary Waters, I've missed. I'm just saying,
like, their baby
and then we're done.
There's no government
policies, don't hold Conference Championship. All right, smooth
transition here guys, let's get into the game. Patrick Mahomes
priced at 7600 obviously, the higher end of quarterbacks here
Mahomes has said he's ready to go for the AFC title game.
Despite having a high ankle sprain, typically an injury
that there'd be no chance of him playing. We know Mahomes
has
is just going to play through this game. It's as simple as that
Lawrence despite the Jury with Mahomes, are you still willing
to pay up that price for him and daily fantasy? Yes. So
I think he'll be fine, first off, I say that first, but I won't
pay the price
because you got Joe burrow here, who's cheaper way to
make, and they could put up similar numbers. So even though
I feel like the Chiefs will still win this game. When we're
talking about picking the quarterback for DFS, give me
Joe burrow, who averages,
327 yards, a game against these Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes,
he could put up the same numbers for much.
Cheaper price so I wouldn't pay up for
yeah. The only reason to pay up for him is honestly is to go
contrarian because I think almost anyone looking at this
for more than 10 seconds can be like
why not take the cheaper guy who's healthy? Yeah, like who
gets the throat of Jamal chaise and gets to face? A Chiefs
defense
that gave up the most touchdown passes during the regular
season game of the third most fantasy points per game, two
opposing. Quarterbacks, you know, is averaging over 20
fantasy points per game in the playoffs, this year,
to your point Lawrence against these Chiefs. The three games
that, you know, the Bangles of all one against the Chiefs 327
passing yards per game,
eight, touchdown passes. In those three games, just winners
option, like,
I think my homes will play well, I'm with you but I don't
think he plays $400 better than Joe Borough here. Yeah,
I firstly the video of Mahomes at the press conference and when
he walked down the steps and kind of add a little hop
me look, fine, working out. That move the line two and
a half points off the bacteria. From Bangles - one and a half
to chase modest one. So everyone is
Patrick Mahomes and his gate
very very closely in the batting while
I agree. I think he's probably going to be
80% of Patrick Mahomes. I think probably the consensus that
I hear that is forming. And the, um, unsubstantiated consensus
is that you'll probably look fine inside the pocket and then
not good outside the pocket. So, probably just stay inside
the
pocket, but I think Bahamas will play relatively well, but
borrow is definitely the safe Applause. Yeah, I mean, I don't
know what is rushing properties, but I'd take
the other on it
and that was offering it. Yeah, exactly.
So there you go,
then post it online yet. But yeah, like,
we're not expecting a lot of Mobility there from Patrick
Mahomes. But I also say is that like again he's walking around
fine and even though right maybe is an 80% but the fact is
that when you're out there in the adrenaline's
going and what have you got to trade Hendrickson on your ass
like you're running like you know like I realized my leg
hurts but
I'm going. Oh yeah yeah exactly. And I speak from
experience there it looked he just a jaguars after that
injury. He fell into like a six or seven years. Gate after
that. So you know it definitely deserves
all the rushing from here in flag.
All right guys we know the chalk play for his pass.
Catchers is Travis Kelce. No surprise. They are. He's priced
at 7800. You're going to pay up for a dominant threat. But is
there any value at all with anyone else in this offense? In
terms of the pass catchers you have Juju Smith Schuster coming
in at 4700. Here's the problem. Very Jutsu has nine catches in
his last four games. Yeah, I'm not in on Juju 8, but I will
answer. The question, is there value anywhere else? And
I think there's two places. Number one is, I do think
Ink Jerick McKinnon.
I think, people will be off McKinnon this week because he
had the poor game last week because from the box score,
you know, Isaiah Pacheco had the better game, but if you
look at it McKinnon, played more snaps, played played more
snaps, got more
got, more route, ran more routes
and in a game in which I think they're going to have to throw
to keep up and we know how good the Bengals are bringing
pressure. And again Mahomes is going to be as mobile. They're
going to want McKinnon,
they're gonna want McKinnon. Who's the better pass protector?
Back there, right? I mean, because again they've got
a less than 100% patch from home, so I think McKinnon plays even
more snaps again, he outplayed him out, snapped him, and not,
and ran more routes than last week. It just didn't show up in
the Box Score,
but McCann has been the better running back for the majority
of this
latter. Part of the Year.
Give me McKinnon and a game in, which I think Kansas City will
have to throw and I think he's gonna be on the field quite
a bit. Lawrence you rolling with McKinnon over Pacheco. Well,
yeah, for the same reasons and he got 11 carries last week to
write, so that's something we're not used to.
To seeing every week again because of Patrick Mahomes
injury. Those lean more on the Run game for it, as far, as far
as both running backs, are concerned. So you add some of
the rushing
to his receiving value.
So I had to go with him. And, as you said, Matthew
being a better pass protector,
try a little bit of a slump on the bangle side of things, 40,
Higgins, under 40, receiving yards, and five of his past six
games. He's priced at 5400, is this a bounce-back spot for
Higgins? I think so. I mean the total in this game is 47 and
a half. To be high scoring. The one concern I would have is
that the reason everyone wrote off the Bangles last week
because was because their offensive line. And I think
a big part of that
was that there were in the snow and it got mitigated, the bills
pass rushers would mitigate a bit by that. It's just harder
to rush the passer. We do go through snow
and so, I do think that that might hurt the Bangles this
week. I don't think that offensive line will play as
well, but the borough's done whatever he wants against
the Chiefs, every time they play it. So I think that Higgins and
Chase will be fine.
Mary we started off the show talking about Christian
McCaffrey these high prices. 8,000 and you countered. Well,
good luck with the rest of the running back plays. Joe Mixon
comes in at 6,500, but we've seen some igp Ryan 40 percent,
plus snaps in both playoff games. So that a reason to just
stay away from Mickey, he's averaging 49%
of the snaps in the playoffs. That's some on. JP Ryan is
which by, you know. So you just look at the other side. Let's
weeds only 51% of
graphics and did that math in my head. No big deal NBD. Did
you say? It's just like, you know,
I'm not just good. Looks almost to a math genius.
The positives of mix in our that he's getting Involved in
the passing game. Over five targets of game, over the last
five as well
Chiefs. Give up the second, most targets per game to
opposing, running backs. So, the fact that mixing might be
involved somewhat in the in the Run game, they look the games
at Arrowhead, they clearly wanted to,
you know, take all the clichés you want but they did clearly
want to establish the run last week against the Buffalo Bills.
I think you could see mix and get
a decent amount of work here
in a game in which they they're going to need him.
so,
Yeah, I mean I don't mind them at 6400. I think they're like
again, I don't, you know, I prefer McKinnon to Pacheco.
I don't think I really want any of the Eagles running backs
here McCaffrey's to high price. So you're really choosing
between
basically three guys, like mixing
mixing McKinnon and Caffrey McCaffrey I guess if you want
to make if you want if you want to,
you know, roll the dice on Sanders I suppose. But
so yeah I don't mind, I don't mind mixing.
I don't mind mixing.
Are perine will be more involved. That's that's really
what. You're that's the only concern there on on Joe Mixon
is how much run does
some on JP run gets, but that does feel like they're,
you know, in a game like this are going to lean on
the veteran. All right, Lawrence real quick. Let's look at
the clearance rack here. You got Tyler Boyd at 3800 hating her
stat. Just 3,000 could areas Tony at 3,700, and mvs, sitting
there at 3600.
Is there any of these for
that you consider playing? Yeah, it could be Estonia.
3700, right? Travis Kelce. Let the Chiefs and a large margin
was 17 targets last week. Take a
big drop in the next guy was kundera, Stony with seven
catches made five catches,
Sorry, Seven targets. Made five catches and 36 yards out of
that also had the 14-yard rush where he almost scored
the touchdown. He got stopped at like 22 or 23 yard line.
He's looking like, we thought this a few weeks ago
with every week, he's getting more and more involved in.
It's clear that, you know,
I don't know. Maybe it's
That and they're realizing like yeah, he better than Juju
because we are we can't count on Juju. So if you can't count
on another cheese receiver,
take a shot with a guy. Who's this cheap on the Slate? Who's
got upside one?
Yeah, I don't, I don't disagree with anything. You just said
about canaries, Tony two things. I want to mention one
thing. I wanted to mention a mixing real quickly was
the fact that with their offensive line issues. The key has been
is getting getting the ball out quickly for
for Joe burrow, and that involves the running back as
well. And also that's when it's
easier to run. Block than it is to pass block. So in general
I do think that's another way to mitigate some of the injuries
they've had on the offensive line is by running
mix and quite a bit on the road at Arrowhead
the other. Bargain Bin guy that again wouldn't want in a cash
game but in DFS I think it's sort of interesting and
I wouldn't mind kind of a, you know,
putting a bet on any time touchdown
is Mark, has failed us, can't ya? Just because I think he'll
see some Eli apple and I think Eli Apple who's been running
his mouth as makes up for me. He doesn't make a lot of
friends. And
I just think Eli Apple is burnable is
very burnable and I think that he'll find himself on mvs and
they're going to take a couple of shots and try to pick on Eli
Apple in this game and I think mvs is the most likely
candidate. You could see some Justin Watson
but yeah. Anyway, I don't mind a,
you know, a small bet on any time TouchDown for MDS
or again in The Bargain Bin. Yeah, plus 333,
on bed, MGM mvs, any. There you go. Let's go.
Alright 333, let's close this out. Looking at the most basic.
Chip prop board. Jay, what are your Best Bets looking at this
game? To Best Bets when we talked about him? Jerick
McKinnon over
twenty seven and a half rushing yards. He played 44, snaps last
week, 65% of the snaps 27/2, just too low for running back
in a Patrick, mom's offense, playing that much. Maybe more
homes is limited and McKinnon,
is running more. And then my second bed, this is an easy one
shapes money line shapes of winning this game. He got
the way to think about this is last week bills and shapes were
right about the same
bills. Close, Six Point favorites.
Home to Cincinnati.
Now, the Chiefs are only 1.5 hours and obviously my home is
being limited and since he looking awesome last week, has
to bridge the gap, a little bit. But five points is too big
an adjustment. I think the chief should be two and a half
Point favorites. I think they went, I'm with you on that one.
All right guys,
can I give you two quick ones? Yeah, please
first off, we had to kick her properly ever, McPherson over
one-and-a-half, wondering money. Macklin, this is him,
and but you're both over one and a half over oneself field,
build up that one. And, and again, just off the mvs thing,
longest reception 17, and a half yards
Ed's, I kind of like that one too.
Should be gets one.
You think that's over that
it's over 70. Like that? I laugh. All right,
we're going to break when we're back. WWE Superstar,
the MS? Joins the show.
