0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. The same team.
0:03And it's been amazing to feel the love and support.
0:06So keep showing up for our girl, show up for each other.
0:09Thanks to Geico and our listeners. What's up friends and welcome to Betting Pros.
0:13This is the Week 3 Prop Show. We've got 10 props for you that Andrew Erickson and myself, Chris Welsh, are locked into for the week.
0:20We're going to tell you how we did last week.
0:23We've got the Jameer Gibbs rollover touchdown game. We're going to even get some touchdown scores and a little bit of first touchdown action.
0:30That's what's on docket for all of Week 3 for us.
0:33But as we have to do, Mr. Andrew Erickson, we've got to review how we did last week.
0:38And you know what? I'll take it. You sacrificed one of your great wins.
0:42Week 1, you were 4-1. You gave it to me.
0:45And we both came out 500. We were both 3-2 last week as we take a look at the big board here on the BP side.
0:52On the year, you are now 7-3. I'm an even 5-5.
0:55You have one touchdown call. I have none still.
0:57We're also placing out the ROI, which once we start hitting them, it'll be good.
1:02But 3-2 last week, no touchdown calls. We'll take it.
1:04You know, we want to be better. We had some close ones.
1:08I mean, you should deserve the touchdown call for Terry McLaurin.
1:11You had like three opportunities. He had so many opportunities.
1:14I was tilting my face off being like, why is this guy not catching touchdowns?
1:18He had a touchdown on the field. It's called touchdown, reversed, not to be touched down.
1:22And then he's wide open on the wide receiver reverse play from Antonio Williams.
1:26And of course, the rookie wide receiver misses Terry McLaurin when he's wide open in the end zone.
1:31So and of course, the Von Diggs scores touchdown.
1:34Like, you know, he's going to score a touchdown every single week.
1:37But nope, none for Terry McLaurin. Yeah, nope. Well, I mean, you know, good logic.
1:41We were in there. We definitely got to prove on the touchdowns.
1:45Glad to both of us check in to like plus 500 weeks.
1:48I'm at 500. You're over it. You're still crushing it for the year.
1:52You haven't had a bad week, you know, so knock on wood.
1:55That's the big plus. And then so those are the stats you guys want to keep track.
2:00I know you got to be our accountability buddies.
2:02You're going to let us know some other fun stats for the BP show.
2:06If we look at the Jameer Gibbs, the Jameer Gibbs rolling touchdowns.
2:10Yes, we have a Jameer Gibbs two touchdown rollover this week.
2:13So would you like to give us a little update?
2:16What does that look like? Because I don't remember what is like the return.
2:19Are we like 1.8? Are we just under two total units after two weeks of betting it?
2:24Because I know the first week was OK. The second week was like big, heavy juice.
2:29You've won both. But what are we going into week three with?
2:32I think it's like minus 220 for an anytime touchdown.
2:35And this is looking like around two ish units.
2:37Do I have that right? Yeah. OK, because it's basically doubled after the winning back to back weeks at heavy juice.
2:43But you take all the winnings. You bet on it again.
2:46And so far, yeah, we're up two units. So the play.
2:49So you'll you'll bet the two units on this one and then the return will be about a unit.
2:55You know, so we're playing the game like we're getting up there.
2:58Once you get into the higher weeks, if you guys are playing along on the Jameer Gibbs run.
3:03And I do have a little tracker is probably it's way too preemptive.
3:07And frankly, I'm setting myself up here. But the is it the under tracker, which we don't have to have official graphic for.
3:13It is 2 and 0. We are 2 and 0 on the official.
3:17Is it the unders for me? And unders are going to come into play here.
3:21So that's all of our accountability. If you will, Erickson, let's jump into the props.
3:25If you're ready to do it, you guys can do that as well.
3:29Download. Make sure you have the betting pros app downloaded.
3:32You guys can go check out all the great data.
3:34You can track your bets. You can follow along.
3:37And as long as you got a premium side of it, you can do all your data research as well.
3:43So make sure betting pros has got you set.
3:45And all you got to do is download the app and get set.
3:49And we are going to jump into prop one for the week.
3:5210 total. This is our top dog here. We're both going to play a couple running backs.
3:57Mine actually has a trend for both of us.
3:59And I'm a little bit of a thief. And you know what?
4:03Maybe I should just get mine out of the way, Erickson, because we have to acknowledge.
4:07I stole this a little bit from you and I did not realize it.
4:11So as many know, we have a gajillion shows together.
4:14We talk about a lot of stuff. And we are both very pro-Quin Sean Jutkins this week.
4:19And what ended up happening is we talked about this.
4:22We both were like, I think you had immediately said, you're like, I love rushing yards.
4:26I'm like, I love rushing yards too. And I said, oh my God, look at this.
4:31I'm like, I'm going to go in that range.
4:33So I am a thief of props. But I know you're going to back this one with me.
4:38QuinShon Judkins. I'm going to go back. It is not lived up to the expectation, but the expectation opens himself up this
4:44week going against the Carolina Panthers who have on average given up 173 yards on the ground to running backs, which is the big play here.
4:52The Cleveland Browns were also able to establish a pass game, which is, I think, the most important part of this because now they're opening up the field.
4:59And Quinch on Jutkins, you also see the rush attempts moving up for we're now pushing into the 1617 range.
5:05And if you look at what they were doing, six, almost six and a half yards per carry Carolina is giving up.
5:11We've seen Quinch on Jutkins have big attempt games.
5:14We've definitely seen him have some of that juice before, but it hasn't been able to get going.
5:19This is the week we're pro Quinch on Jutkins.
5:21I originally had the number at 55. It's moved to 59.5.
5:24So that's the number. So I'm pushing it over 60.
5:27So that's some of my analysis in my prop.
5:30But I do have to publicly apologize because I stole it from under you.
5:34And I hope that we both smash and I hope you can forgive me.
5:37You didn't steal it. It's a it's a good play.
5:40And we're all in on it. And you don't think I don't take some of your picks and put it in my betting price primary.
5:47Do it all the time. I'm like, oh, yeah, this Daniel Jones pick that was just talking about.
5:52That was great. What a sweat that was under the past over time.
5:56The game goes into overtime. What a what a fun sweat.
5:59I'm like getting ready. Dude, I was calculating the whole time.
6:02I'm like, OK, he's at 30. Yeah, this is why did they do this drive?
6:06And then I then it was it was an awesome sweat.
6:09That was actually it's not we got the super fun.
6:12We got the perfect run out when it came to how that overtime period played out.
6:17They get the big play to tread well. But again, like this is why props are fun, man.
6:22Like when you get down to this, you're like, it's an overtime.
6:25There's no way he's going to finish under it.
6:28And that's the thing with the under dude. Like you got to sweat the whole game with these unders because at one
6:34one play can make the big difference. So you did.
6:37I did not steal this prop. Again, I also bet the Jeremiah love prop last week that you were on.
6:42You also hit the over. So I think that when we see eye to eye without even discussing it, I think it's just more conviction about certain plays.
6:50So QuinShon Judkins, it's a QuinShon Judkins week here.
6:52Fantasy pros and betting pros. All the Quinch on Judkins.
6:55We had attempted to figure out where like, was it possible to do an entire 10 card prop show on Judkins props?
7:01But then we thought better of ourselves because we're not that big a psychopaths.
7:05Rush attempts might still be in play if it moves down a little bit.
7:09There's a lot of different sides to this. But at the end of the day, this team wants to get Quinch on Judkins going.
7:16They want to give him the attempts. I know it's been sitting around 12.
7:20The line is moving up. This is a great spot.
7:23It's as simple as that. 59.5 over. That's the play.
7:26Erickson's with it. That's my bet. So Erickson, let's get to your first prop that I did not steal.
7:31But I do love this one. You told me about this one a couple days ago, and I very much like this one.
7:37Yeah, I'm going to go with Rashad White over two and a half receptions.
7:41Last week, the shoot from the hip over two and a half receptions was Rashad Bateman.
7:46And that came through with flying colors. So I want to give a shout out to the coach speak index because that
7:52was kind of what turned me on to Rashad Bateman as a player that the coaches are really high on this guy.
7:58And they really want to get more involved. And again, shout out to Greg Brainhouse.
8:02But that's been the buzz with Rashad White this week.
8:05It's been. Yeah, we really wanted to feature Rashad White.
8:08He looked really good at the end of week two.
8:11That's why we were getting him more involved. So I'm expecting more of the same from Rashad White as potentially the lead
8:17in this backfield with the Washington Commanders ahead of Jacory Krosky Merritt.
8:20If you look at the snaps, Rashad White paid 52% of the snaps to Bill's 37%.
8:25He also had six carries 39 yards. So played 93% of the snaps on third down.
8:29So that's really the selling point here with White is I don't really care about how many carries he gets.
8:35All I'm looking at is the game script in terms of they're playing Seattle, even though they're at home.
8:40There's a chance that Sam Darnold might even play in this game.
8:43So I think that Seattle rolls here. That was one of my favorite best bets in terms of picks against the spread.
8:50I feel very comfortable laying the points with Seattle.
8:52So a negative game script means to me that the commanders are going to be throwing a lot in the second half.
8:58And that means check down city to running backs, because that's the only thing Seattle gives up defensively.
9:03They suffocate you in every other single way, except they bleed targets to running backs in the passing game, because Mike McDonald knows.
9:10Yeah, sure. Dump it off to your running back.
9:12We don't care. It's not going to actually turn into points.
9:15So beat us through the air with your running backs through two games.
9:19Seattle ranks third and receptions, 10th and targets to running backs in the passing game, two straight overs to rookie running back.
9:25Shadarian Price went over his receptions against the Seahawks.
9:28And then you saw, excuse me, not Shadarian Price.
9:30Uh, from Andre Stevenson, Jerry Price is on the Seahawks.
9:33From Andre Stevenson went over his receptions against the Seahawks.
9:36And then last week, the one that you had, you had the receiving yards, but Jeremiah Love also went over his receptions prop against the Seattle Seahawks.
9:43So continuing the trend here, targeting running backs in the passing game against Seattle, who last year, 2025, they allowed the most
9:49catches and targets to running backs in the passing game.
9:52So white at two and a half receptions after he had six targets last week, caught all six for 40 yards.
9:58This one is an easy over for me. By the way, Jeremiah Love was a little bit of sweat too.
10:04Last week, a couple sweaty bets, half a yard.
10:06Yep. We got it by half a yard. And by the way, he had, he had two for 16 and then he caught another pass.
10:13And I was just like, oh my gosh, don't have the negative yard.
10:17Don't go backwards. And he caught one that was zero yards.
10:20And I was waiting for the correction, but there you go.
10:23Uh, Judkins Rashad white. That's how we're going to start this bad boy off props.
10:27Number two coming up here in a second, but find the best NFL player prop bets with a betting pros prop bet cheat sheet.
10:34We'll talk about that here in a second. We use the cheat sheet whenever we are putting our bets together.
10:40Funny enough, we had a couple of bets. Uh, I had a couple extras that I like and Erickson had a really
10:46astute point and said, go and check out the cheat sheet and the analyzer specifically to go and help you out to
10:52maybe make that be the differential between what we put on the show.
10:56What did it hate the most? If I wanted to get this other one in just one of the many ways that
11:02we use it, but you can quickly compare lines from leading sports books against our daily NFL projections to uncover the props offering the most value.

11:13Erickson, let's go back to you because it feels weird.
11:15Uh, me starting it off here. So let's go back to you.
11:19And actually this is one. I kind of had gave you a little bit.
11:23I mentioned this. This is one that I was originally thinking about and then I went into another direction and then I
11:29just shaved off my, uh, my, uh, what was it?
11:32Justin Herbert bet that I wanted to do, but this is one that I was actually a little scared to do.
11:38And I appreciate you because you have no fear.
11:40You are the lantern. You are the green lantern and you are locking this down.
11:44So let's hear prop number two that I was too scared to do.
11:48It is Quinshot Judkins week, but it's O'Meara and Hampton hate week here at Fanny's pros and betting pros, unfortunately.
11:53So O'Meara and Hampton is going to finish under 61 and a half rushing yards.
11:58I think that we both agree. We look at this matchup and I know that in the sheet, you originally had the
12:04Justin Herbert going over his either passing attempts or passing yards prop.
12:07Yeah. Passing yards because I think that's really their only recipe for any type of offensive success playing against the Buffalo bills.
12:13Bills are going to put up a 30 burger on their defense.
12:17They're going to have to try to keep pace.
12:19And if they just try to run the ball, like they've done the last two weeks where they ranked 31st in EPA
12:25per rush 31st and yards before contact per attempt.
12:28They're getting no room up front from this blocking unit that has already been banged up in the interior.
12:33So playing on the road against a Jim Leonard bills defense that has been selling out to stop the run.
12:39This is not the Sean McDermott run defense for the bills.
12:42I know traditionally it's always been, oh, it's so easy to run the ball on the bills.
12:47Yada, yada, yada. No longer the case under a new DC and a new defensive scheme.
12:51They are number one in the NFL and stuff rate at 33%.
12:55So a third of the time your running back is getting a cloud of dust.
12:59That's all that's happening here. And with O'Meara and Hampton, that's kind of his profile, right?
13:03He's not ripping off explosive runs. He is looking for contact.
13:06Now that worked last week against the Raiders. He put almost over a hundred rushing yards, but I just don't think that's
13:12going to be the case here with the charges potentially from a negative game script.
13:17Both running backs that the bills have faced this season have failed to surpass 60 rushing yards.
13:21Despite the fact that they combined for 36 carries Dave Montgomery had 20 carries for 60 yards against the bills defense in week one.
13:28And Jameer Gibbs could also not really get going on the ground in that Thursday night game where the lines were playing from behind basically from the jump.
13:36So I think that the Chargers offenses still struggles specifically on the run.
13:40And I'm going to take the under here on O'Meara and Hampton under 16 and a half rushing yards.
13:45And also the other out to is he fumbles again.
13:48That'll be a third game in a row. He might get benched.
13:51Give me this bet back. Give me this back.
13:54There's a great analysis. I love your analysis there.
13:56It was the last week after I did all of this.
13:59So you did it way better than I would have.
14:02But then I saw I was like, oh, yeah, the total from last week.
14:06And it just like slightly scared me off. But really great breakdown.
14:09And that's why you get it. You own that one where I'm going to go with this week.
14:14And for transparency, this is what replaced the Justin Herbert.
14:17So that's like a little side, you know, one for me was the Justin Herbert over passing yards.
14:22The betting pros analyzer didn't fall in love with it, but it does like this one better.
14:27And this is one that I just fell in love with.
14:30And we're going to Bucky Irving and we're going Bucky Irving over receptions.
14:34And he has been a reception demon early on in this year.
14:37This is given. This is a positive projection Evie on betting pros projection is rounding up to three.
14:42So that's why it's in support of this on the three star.
14:45He's hit this both of the games this year.
14:48He's had seven and four and then specifically going up against the Vikings, who one of the things with the Vikings that
14:54they're going to do is we know that they are going to blitz and they're going to bring everybody to the house.
15:00And that opens up opportunities, I think, for some of those dump off passes for quick decisions for Baker.
15:06And we saw that last week with the Bears where the running backs were targeted eight times for seven catches for 65 yards.
15:12Now they do have Kenny Gainwell. But so far, Bucky Irving has seen 71% of snaps.
15:17He's had routes run on almost 57% and on the team, almost 18% overall target share.
15:21So that can obviously change in a heartbeat. But if they're playing from behind at all, this puts us in a really good situation.
15:28Vikings kind of demon mode as well. I don't know if they're going to be able to run and it might be
15:34a lot of high powered offense and then just a lot of defense coming at Baker.
15:38So this is one that I just started to fall in love with the more I stare at it because he hits this.
15:45They've loved throwing him the ball a whole bunch.
15:47And I think the defensive scheme for the Vikings is going to play into that.
15:52So there's some support on betting pros. He's been hitting this this year.
15:55We need three as well. So it's 2.5 and there's actually some solid juice there.
15:59I've seen some juiced up numbers around one 25, but the best I found was around one oh eight.
16:05So Bucky Irving over receptions. That's what I'm going to lock into.
16:08Number two, you better hit it. And Herbert better not.
16:11You know, he doesn't hit it and then Herbert gets the overpassing and then I'm going to be going to be.
16:17I'm going to bet both. Yeah, I'm going to bet both.
16:20But you know, for the show purposes, I can't.
16:22All right, let's go in to bet number three.
16:25We're going to get in the mud. These are some dirty bets here, and I'm very I'm very excited about the one that you put up here.
16:32And then I'm just going to give you guys a little tease.
16:36My first under is about to jump in for my number three, and it's actually one of my favorite bets of the week.
16:42But yours is dirty. It's stinky. It's low. It's low name.
16:45And I love them. These are the ones that I love.
16:48So prop number three for you this week, Erickson.
16:51Hey, it's Ashanti Plummer from Foot Around and Find Out.

18:09We're headed to Ford Field, where the Lions are going to be taking on the New York Jets.
18:14There's going to be a ton of points in this game.
18:17So, of course, you got to get in some player prop action.
18:21Originally here, I was going to do Adonai Mitchell in the over on his receiving yards.
18:25It's gone up. But I'm going to be honest.
18:28Welsh got a little spooked when he popped up on the injury report with a finger injury.
18:33Because this guy already has stone hands. He's already playing like he's got nine fingers.
18:37Yeah, 100%. So that did just get me a little bit squeamish about betting in on him.
18:41So I'm just pivoting. I'm going down a tier in the Jets pecking order of targets.
18:46And I'm going to Kenyon Sadiq. The rookie tight end, the 16th overall pick in this year's draft to go over 26 and a half receiving yards.
18:54And honestly, I think I might like this play even versus a healthy Adonai Mitchell.
18:58Because I look at Sadiq and this opportunity he has potentially with Mason Taylor maybe out for the New York Jets.
19:04He hasn't practiced this week. He's dealing with a thumb injury.
19:07I don't know what happened to all these Jets players in their hands in this last game.
19:11And clearly something happened to all of them. Well, Kenyon Sadiq is healthy and he's ready to go.
19:16So he hasn't had a major role so far this season.
19:20He's only averaged three targets per game over the last two.
19:23But they have used him in unique ways around the red zone.
19:26He scored a rushing touchdown back in week one.
19:29And the matchup is divine for him against the Lions.
19:31They have been basically buns against every position, but specifically tight ends.
19:35Dead last in yards and targets allowed 93 and a half yards per game.
19:3912 and a half targets per game to opposing tight ends.
19:42Now back in week one, if you guys recall, I bet the over on Juwan Johnson.
19:46I bet the anytime touchdown on Juwan Johnson. Who was he facing that week?
19:50The Detroit Lions. So that's the only way I've actually gotten any of my touchdown calls.
19:55Correct. So spoiler. Yeah, I'm going back to Sadiq for my anytime touchdown because he is facing the Lions here.
20:00So I think that this is a big opportunity spot for him.
20:04He should he should run a lot more routes in a more uptempo game pace.
20:08And if I'm Aaron Glenn and I'm going to Detroit knowing that, okay, we're going to have to push pedal to the metal here.
20:14We're going to have to rip off explosive plays.
20:17Then you're going to have to use Kenyan Sadiq a lot in this specific matchup, especially if Mason Taylor is out.
20:23So planets are aligning kind of for Kenyan Sadiq, in my opinion, to really have a standout game.
20:28And he is so explosive. He hit over 20 miles per hour on his end around red zone touchdown run.
20:33If this guy gets into open space, he could catch one pass for 50 yards and we're going to hit this.
20:39So taking me over gets rookie tight end. All right.
20:42I love it. I am going to be playing an under this week.
20:46I'm going to tell you, I do think this is the type of guy where one play could completely ruin it.
20:52But he has been an under machine. Give me DK Metcalf under 51.5 receiving yards.
20:56You know, fun fact, as a Steeler against the Bengals, he has not gone over 51 yards.
21:01He has not hit that marker yet. So, you know, either do or trend here.
21:05It's been atrocious. It's been atrocious with the Steelers.
21:07Aaron Rodgers looks bad. He does not want to sling the ball, though.
21:11What you can acknowledge when I'm playing a yard marker here is that Metcalf does have a 44, essentially 45 percent air yard share.
21:18But some of those are just the ball slinging out into nowhere.
21:21He's looked really bad. He does get the first reads, but it's a whole lot of screen stuff.
21:26And then, you know, if you focus in on just how much better the Bengals have been, then PFF gives this a really, really poor matchup.
21:33Specifically, I think built around how Metcalf kind of struggles in general.
21:37I think that's where some of it is. But betting pros like this.
21:40Projections are under 50 on this. This is a four start bet, which has positive ROI on four start bets on betting pros.
21:47Projection EVs run 17 percent. The number even it floats around 52.
21:50So if I can get that 52, I really like that.
21:53But the Steelers have lost the passing game looks lost.
21:56And I think heavy coverage is going to be built around.
21:59And also you have a little bit banged up on the running game, but stopping DK Metcalf.
22:04And then it's you know what it's going to be.
22:07It's going to be Pat Friermuth. Actually, like Friermuth is kind of a smash this week, wherever the ball is going to go.
22:13They've been getting Bernard a little bit. There's a little bit of Roman Wilson.
22:17DK Metcalf doesn't have that great separation. And for me, what it's going to be, which is going to ruin this for
22:23me, this is going to be one of those spots where he catches one of those screen passes and then he goes for 40.
22:30Like that's what ruins this. It doesn't matter if he gets 10 targets.
22:34He catches 50 percent of them. The Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to sling the ball, doesn't have confidence in it.
22:39And the Bengals defense is a lot better. He doesn't hit this versus the Bengals.
22:43This is an easy under for me. DK Metcalf 51.5 under proud of me.
22:47You got an under. Yeah. Guess what? I mean, I got another under coming.
22:51I got two unders in the show. Let's go.
22:54You ready for that? All right. We got two more each coming up, but I want to tell you guys about this new prediction market called Polymarket.
23:01It's a stock exchange for sports buying in and selling out on your terms.
23:05When your team goes down to 20 percent, you can buy in and sell it off at 40 percent when they come back to double your money.
23:13They're so confident. You're never going to go back to the other guys.
23:16They're giving you a free $50 on your first trade when you deposit just 10 bucks.
23:21And now they've launched a new feature called squads.
23:23It's a group chat where you can see what everyone else is trading on.
23:27So download the Polymarket app today and use code FPPOD when you sign up.
23:31That's code FPPOD to get $50 free after you trade just 10 bucks.
23:35Props number four. Let's jump into it. I didn't realize this.
23:38We are we're kind of heavy in the rushing or running back receiving market here.
23:42I love it. You're going to play two and under.
23:45This one is another. I love when you're in the mud.
23:48And this to me is kind of a Sadiq mud play.
23:51And I'm all about this. So hit us with number four.
23:54Chris Rodriguez running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars under point five reception.
23:58So essentially, will he catch a pass? My answer is no.
24:01He has zero catches and targets this season through two weeks with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
24:05Last week when LeQuint Allen was back in a lineup, C-Rod ran just four routes.
24:09So right now, Bachel Toot is the lead back in the Jacksonville Jaguars backfield.
24:13And then they're mixing in guys like Amir Abdullah, LeQuint Allen, mostly playing on third downs, which leaves Chris Rodriguez kind of
24:19in this like early down red zone role where he's basically never targeted.
24:23He has seven career targets in the NFL, six career catches.
24:26He has played 37 games. Welsh, quick math. How many catches per game is that?
24:30Six catches in 37 games. Yeah, it's not 6, 12, 18, 24.
24:33That's about five. 0.16 catches per game is what he's averaging here.
24:37So the fact that the Jaguars offense is not even featuring running backs that much in the passing game, they have thrown
24:43at running backs at a 12% clip this season.
24:46That is fourth lowest in the NFL at three per game.
24:49So they have more running backs that catch passes than they're averaging running back targets per game this season.
24:54So, look, this could burn me. They could throw some type of weird swing pass to Chris Rodriguez out of the backfield,
25:00but I'm going to bet against that and it's not going to happen.
25:04So I'm going to sweat this the entire time I'm watching Parker Washington, Christian Gonzalez go head to head and be like,
25:10is Chris Rodriguez out there running a route? But it'll be fun because he's not going to catch any passes this week.
25:16The best is going to be when they do throw one and it bounces off his hands and you're just like, let's go.
25:22But then you're going to have to sweat it the rest of the way because they threw him one.
25:28This is a good sweaty one. And then they're going to realize, oh yeah, that's why we don't throw him the ball.
25:34Yeah. It has been a strange development. Like I just don't understand why they don't trust spatial tootin maybe in that space,
25:40because it seems like they did it a lot more last year.
25:43Obviously, Achan and what he did, but you know, look when Allen doesn't get on the field a whole bunch.
25:49And to your point, this is not what they bring in Chris Rodriguez to do.
25:53So this is a really fun one. Really low end number.
25:56I like that. I'm on the on an opposite end here for a heavy reception running back.
26:01And I'm looking at Devon Achan, Devon Achan over receptions at 3.5.
26:04I think this is the highest rated, I believe, or it actually might be my last one.
26:09I might be, I didn't realize I might be progressing myself up to the highest rating, but this is a four star
26:15bet from betting pros that it supports on on for me.
26:183.5. It's a little juicy, but projections are over for 17% projection EV market EV 7%.
26:23So there's a lot of support on it. I don't like really need to do all this stuff, but you know, Devon
26:29Achan, it's like a heavy snap percentage. He's running like 74% on routes.
26:33He's targeted 20% for the team as a total.
26:35And you're going up against a tough Chiefs team, which by the way, is going to just throw at will on them.
26:41They're going to be playing from behind. Malik Willis does not have massive trust in slaying in that ball.
26:47And that's why we see Devon Achan in this space.
26:50He only did catch three last week. He cashed us in the first one.
26:53They got to get him the ball a little bit more if they're going to stay competitive.
26:58I think they're going to be down a decent amount.
27:01And that's where you got it. You got to get Achan involved.
27:04So three and a half. I think it's a little bit low.
27:08I'm not even that uncomfortable playing the five, to be honest with you.
27:11But, you know, the heavy, heavy route run, heavy target percentage.
27:14They've got to show something like Willis has got to show something.
27:18This is a really, really great spot for Achan.
27:20And as far as like coverages go, staring over at PFF, linebacker coverage, if there's any linebackers on, they struggle.
27:26Defensive backs are going to play a much better spot if they decide to end up doing that.
27:31But I don't think they will if they're running those three wide receiver sets.
27:35So this is an advantage to Achan, regardless of even it being like a fair-ish graded matchup.
27:40Love Achan. Love the receptions. 3.5 over. Got to play it.
27:43Yeah. I really like this one too for you.
27:45I think Achan leads. I think I mentioned on the rank show.
27:49He leads the NFL in routes run among all running backs.
27:52And last week he had the targets, but he was like brutally in a fit.
27:56I don't think he caught like 50% of his targets, which you're always going to see that be a higher number with
28:02running backs because it's usually closer to line of scrimmage.
28:05So I think this is a really sharp play.
28:07Thank you, sir. Let's go to our last one.
28:10You're almost, you're just like, I love this for you.
28:13Good for you. Good for you. I need, I need some wins here.
28:16And that's where we're going to go with our last one.
28:19You have been, you've talked about a couple players a lot this week.
28:23Quinch on Judkins. We've said it's QuinShon Judkins week.
28:26Negatively, you've, you've played against Hampton, but there's one player that has come up as your option to pick at.
28:31And this player is who you were jumping in and the prop market this week.
28:35You are very pro this running back. Chase Brown running back for the Cincinnati Bengals going to go over 63 and a half rushing yards.
28:42I think that if the Bengals are going to try to slow down this Steelers pass rush playing on the road hostile
28:49environment, I think that got established the run here.
28:51And I think they trust Chase Brown enough to feed him enough volume to rip off some big plays.
28:56He has gone over 63 and a half rushing yards in seven of his last 10 games played dating back to last season.
29:03And in his two matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, he averaged over 100 rushing yards per game.
29:08He's averaged 68 rushing yards per game this season.
29:11So he's gone over this number once and failed to hit it in the other game.
29:15But you got to point out, he's had tough matchups to start the season.
29:19He has faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who have a really good run defense.
29:23And he's facing Houston Texans who actually went over this number against last week because the offense just had the ball for so often.
29:30That's going to be the same script because the Steelers offense is three and out in a cloud of dust.
29:35That's exactly what they do. First, they're going to throw the ball to DK Metcalf.
29:40He's not going to catch it. We already know that.
29:42We're going to have a ball control with Chase Brown.
29:45The Steelers have allowed an opposing running back to hit at least 76 rushing yards in two straight games.
29:50And after week three, it'll be three. Love it.
29:53My final one. This is actually a play that I talked about on.
29:57I'm going to talk about on the Sunday night football show on the betting show.
30:01But sometimes it kind of like the Dana Jones one when I really like a play.
30:05I'm going to jump all into it. And that's this one.
30:08And this is my second under of the show.
30:11And it's Matthew Stafford passing yards under 20, 243.5.
30:13And there is. I would just tell you, there are actually also a few places.
30:18I mean, I guess that's the number I'm locking in, but I do see like even a 249.5, but it's right in that 240 range.
30:25That's kind of my key number. I actually had originally looked at this at like 240.5.
30:29And this has to do a lot of like where I think this the script of this game is going to go.
30:35We talked about on the rank show and on fantasy pros that it's almost like this inverse type of game for me
30:41where it's you would expect the Broncos would be a team that want to keep it on the ground.
30:47And then the high flying Rams would want to throw the ball a whole bunch.
30:51Rams look like they could be without Puka. The Broncos might be without 400 different running backs.
30:56Erickson might be suiting up for them. So this might be a situation where the Rams want to establish the run, keep
31:02the clock down, not try to get into heavy pass game.
31:05And the Broncos are trying to play the high side.
31:08They're trying to throw the ball. But also, unlike the previous matchup, the Broncos are going to be tough from the pass game.
31:14If there's no Puka, Sertan locks down Devante Adams in a much more strict way.
31:18So it benefits this team to run Kyron, to run Blake Corum.
31:22And I think what that does is that keeps the ball out of Matthew Stafford's hands a little bit.
31:27And there is support on this on betting pros.
31:30This is a three star. I think it was at one point of five.
31:34So let's move down a little bit. But over 25 units, the three star bets, three star bets have actually been very sneaky on betting pros.
31:41And projections are right around that general line. But from a grade perspective, you're talking like a top 10, a top 10
31:47pass rush, top five in wide receiver coverage. They're without their big wide receiver.
31:51I think it's pretty simple. I think they're going to play to the under.
31:55Oh, by the way, did I mention Broncos have not given up over 200 yards passing so far?
32:00And they have gone against Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence.
32:03So I think they're going to play it on the ground.
32:06Matthew Stafford underpassing yards, two unders in one show.
32:08What could go wrong? What could go wrong, Erickson?
32:11What could go wrong? Touchdown calls. Let's talk about some touchdowns.
32:14But before what could go right? Touchdown calls. Let's go.
32:17Come on. We need it to go right. We need the touchdowns.
32:20We need a first touch. We talked about this.
32:23We get a first touchdown. First touchdown is going to juice the rest of our year that we can play it up
32:29here because we are tracking the ROI. But before we jump into what we are playing this week, if you guys are
32:35looking for an edge in touchdown bets, our touchdown score report compares anytime touchdown stats to prop bet odds and projections to
32:41help identify the best anytime touchdown bets. So head over to bettingpros.com slash touchdown for the latest touchdown prop analysis today.
32:47Every single week we pick like a, you know, between like, you know, even money to like one right before two to one essentially.
32:54And then we'll try to do like a over two to one play.
32:57That's where we like to sit in for our touchdown bets on every single week.
33:01You are the only one that is called one though.
33:04You should probably have another. I have been a little bit abysmal.
33:08It's also played out. Dude, I'm doing a, I'm so into this, but I'm doing one of those touchdown survivor pools and it's three strikes.
33:15And your boy has got to, I got to play the big dog this week.
33:19Otherwise I'm going to be eliminated after week three and the survivor there.
33:22Touchdowns have been rough. So we both got to get back last week.
33:26Oh, I think I had Mike Evans and then my, remember Mike Evans, right before at the goal line doesn't get in
33:32and then he gets pulled from the game. So that's screwed me.
33:36So that was super fun. And I had him on here too, which didn't get me in.
33:40We had some close touchdown calls. We didn't get it.
33:43Uh, you and I both have, uh, kind of our lower end play and we actually both have gone in to the
33:49more than three and a half to one on our bigger call.
33:53So Erickson, why don't you kick us off with your main dog?
33:56And then how deep are you going for your second one?
33:59Yeah. Going to the dog pound, QuinShon Judkins. He's going to score touchdown.
34:03You're still getting it at even money or close to even money plus one Oh five for him to score a touchdown.
34:09Just think he's going to have a monster game.
34:11So give me Quinchot Judkins to score a touchdown for the Cleveland Browns.
34:15And then my long shot, anytime touchdown, I did kind of allude to when I was talking about Kane Sadiq and maybe
34:21that's what we got to do is we got to pair one of the guys having a monster receiving game, rushing yard
34:27game, and then pairing it with a touchdown. It worked with John Johnson.
34:31I did it in week one. So I'm kind of rolling it back here, targeting the Detroit Lions as the defense to
34:37make my Kenyan Sadiq anytime touchdown bet hit. Talked about how he scored in week one on a end around play.
34:43So they like using him around the red zone.
34:46And the Detroit Lions have given up four touchdowns to tight ends.
34:49They've given up a touchdown to two bills, tight ends and two states, tight ends.
34:53People forget when John Johnson was sucking for the first three quarters of that game, because I was watching it.
34:59Noah Fant was going off and having a very productive game.
35:02And he also scored a touchdown against that team.
35:04So Knox scored. Kinkade scored. Everybody scores against Detroit Lions at tight end.
35:08And that will include Sadiq after week three. Tight ends tried and true.
35:12That's why I've always lived in that range. And guess what?
35:15I'm doubling down. These are both tight end bets this week for me.
35:18So mine, I'm going to take Travis Kelsey versus the worst secondary in the NFL.
35:23Travis Kelsey relived the glory days. He looks faster on the field.
35:26Mahomes, we got that trust separate. Great. You have to worry about finding separation against the Dolphins.
35:31They're buns. So this is a spot early on that I think we're going to get to just the old vintage chiefs.
35:37And what does that mean? That means Travis Kelsey touchdown and we're getting it at plus one 30.
35:42Only thing that's going to go against me is if it goes to like, it's a stupid Rishi Rice one and then
35:48an Xavier worthy one, they might be up by three touchdowns by the half and it's just not going to play.
35:54But I really love this one. Travis Kelsey plus one 30.
35:57And then my longer play. I think I kind of alluded to is that I, I think the Steelers offense looks really, really rough.
36:04Aaron Rogers looks really rough. I don't think they're going to just get completely shut out, but it's just not going to be from the wide receivers.
36:11It's going to be from the tight ends, big hole in what the Bengals is coverage wise have.
36:16They are the worst linebacker coverage is dead last in the league.
36:20Safety coverage dead last in the league. Pat Friermuth is the play here.
36:23I think Eric, what is it? Fitzy has them like top 10 in fantasy this week.
36:28He's almost four to one on this line. So I think if they can get into the red zone, if they can
36:34rush that ball up, not give it to DK Metcalf, Rogers is going to be looking for Friermuth because that's the coverage play.
36:40So that is going to be my deep play touchdown call.
36:43So some tight ends. We're going to go heavy tight.
36:46If I can, if we both get our long shot call, we're back to positive ROI on our touchdowns, which will surprise
36:52that both of these are like you have plus three 70 minds plus 400.
36:56And I feel like, I feel like those are really good values for these type of bets.
37:01Yeah. All right. Last one. This is a new addition.
37:04We do this year is our first touchdown calls.
37:06We, we haven't gotten there by the way. Am I wrong about this?
37:10Has Christian has Christian Watson had a first touchdown in every single Packers game so far this year.
37:15He is at least had two of the three first touchdowns at minimum.
37:19I feel like we scored the first touchdown for the Packers tonight.
37:22Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Cause he did it tonight and I know he did it like in week one.
37:28I think he scored the first touchdown in all three games.
37:31Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't think you are.
37:34Well, I know it's not the running backs. No.
37:36These touchdowns of the green Bay Packers. I know that very, very firmly.
37:40I meant to go look for the game. So I think you might be right.
37:44Yeah. Sorry for throwing this out. If it's like wrong and nobody cares, but whatever.
37:48But I think he's at least scored two of the first three.
37:52This has nothing to do with this, but I was just thinking about like, wow, how I don't recall seeing like a
37:58guy dominate first touchdowns this early on like he has.
38:00And that actually kind of takes me to, I'm a little disappointed in you because my expectation out of you is I
38:07want to see 50 to ones when I see your, your first touchdowns.
38:10And I, I think you might be able to hit this one, but I just, I felt left alone in a, you
38:16had an 80 to one last week and now you're just going to like some puny little seven to one or something like that.
38:23So let's get your first touchdown call. You are, you're in it to win it.
38:27This is probably going to be the lowest first touchdown call odds.
38:31I bet you're going to play this year, but hit it, hit us with it.
38:35He's trying to get in the green. Okay. I don't blame him.
38:38Trying to get, trying to get on base, man.
38:41OBS. What is it? What is it on base percentage?
38:44Yeah. That's a, that records your streaming and it can get you on base.
38:48I'll be honest. OBS. Tony Pollard is my first touchdown bet.
38:51I, I think that these odds are just too long.
38:53I mean, seven to one for a starting running back who saw four goal line carries last week did not end up finding the end zone.
39:01Cam Ward ended up scoring twice on the ground.
39:03I don't think that will happen two weeks in a row.
39:06I can, we're talking about buns cheeks, the giants run defense, man.
39:10It is absolutely atrocious. So I think the Titans are live here to just win this game outright.
39:15I agreed with Seth on that take because Jamis wins.
39:17Jamis Winston is the most wide range of outcomes type of quarterback where he can win you games.
39:23He can lose you games in dramatic fashion. I do think that the Titans have an edge here.
39:28And I think given the fact that Pollard got more run in the second half of last week's game, ton of goal line opportunities.
39:34I think he finds the end zone early on here in the Titans jump out to an early lead as road underdogs
39:40against the Giants, who, if you look at what they have done on the ground, most rushing yards allowed over expectation per carry of the season.
39:48Highest rate of rushes over expected to running backs in league.
39:51So it sets up very favorably for Tony Pollard.
39:53By the way, we totally forgot about the set.
39:56I think Seth's mad at me. I think he's done with me with my Niner stuff and picking on him last week.
40:02I don't blame him. I don't blame him. I was shocked by the, we all have bad calls, so it's okay.
40:08And he didn't want, I didn't think to even ask, and he's probably super happy about it.
40:13I love you, Seth. Worst call ever, but I love you.
40:16You're super smart. You're going to make a bunch of million calls.
40:19Just ain't going to be with the dolphins. Speaking of the reason that made me think of it too, it's 49ers.
40:25My first touchdown run is going to be with the 49ers here.
40:28And I'm, you're going to love this because I'm going to go theme here.
40:3240. This is his birthday. No, it's not. It's not his birthday.
40:36Well, there's a celebration around him right now. And the problem is that celebration costs him $14,000.
40:40Kyle use check is 40 to one for the first touchdown after being fined by the NFL for.
40:45However, his chugging celebration, mind you, his name is juice.
40:48He says he doesn't drink beer. They sent him a letter that he was displaying an act of alcohol and he had
40:54to drinking alcohol, which by the way, sponsored by Bud Light that, you know, that was a whole egregious thing.
41:00The NFL is kind of up in arms right now about suspensions or fines with these type of celebrations.
41:05The team is rallying around Kyle use check. They put a little thing in his thing, not beer.
41:10They put a can when he did an interview.
41:13George Kittle is a I ratting him out in the top.
41:16Everyone's having fun with it. Well, guess what's going to be the most fun when the 49ers get into the red zone,
41:22they play action to Christian McCaffrey, and they throw that outlying pass to Kyle use check on the first play.
41:28He scores the first touchdown and then does he do the juice?
41:31They're all planning it. It's 40 to one. There's really no good data to it.
41:35It's just me creating narrative. But sometimes on first touchdowns, narrative is what I got 40 to one.
41:40Kyle use check book it. I don't think I love this.
41:43Love this one. That's my love this one. Definitely squad ride.
41:46And let's go, baby. All right. What are you guys riding?
41:50Drop it in the comments below. First touchdowns. Love to see.
41:53Those are probably like the most fun. If you've got some favorite props, drop them below.
41:57And thank you guys for hanging out with us.
42:00Hopefully you guys are going to cash some good bets.
42:02We'll be back again next week. We'll tell you how the card went.
42:06Hopefully it's good. We're in a good mood and we're not vibes are down or anything like that, but maybe we'll hit some touchdowns as well.
