0:13This is the Week 2 Prop Show. I'm Chris Welsh.
0:16That is the very, very correct Andrew Erickson. And we're here to talk about our top 10 prop bets for Week 2.
0:22We're going to talk a little touchdowns as well.
0:25Maybe even a little first touchdown. And I think you teased it in the previous episode, but we talked about a little
0:31bit of a rollover counter that we're going to do.
0:34There's so much betting action that we're going to lock into for this episode.
0:38So strap in. We're glad to have you and we're ready to talk props.
0:42And speaking of talking props, Mr. Andrew Erickson, when we pull up the big board here and we look at last week,
0:48following our records weekly and for the whole season, I'm not in love with how I was last week.
0:54It could have been really bad, maybe a paper bag over my head, but I was able to pull out with an under to get to 2-3.
1:01I'm really not happy being 2-3 whatsoever, because I think I've actually come out strong the last couple of years in the
1:08very opening week, but I had an abysmal Sunday only picking up the one with Parker Washington.
1:13It was a plus money play. And then picking up the under on Xavier Worthy.
1:17Oh, but Andrew Erickson held it high for the prop show here on BP, because you dropped a 4-1 bomb on us.
1:23And when we look at the touchdowns, as we can see, you were able to get one of your touchdown calls, which means you've got some positive ROI.
1:31I did not get a touchdown. I was 2-3.
1:34Shame, shame, shame. But Mr. Andrew Erickson, take a nice little victory lap.
1:37It was a very, very good week for you.
1:40Shout out to Tyler Shuck for never giving up and for peppering Juwan Johnson, because as I'm refreshing the game day app
1:46on Fantasy Bros trying to figure out, is Juwan Johnson hurt?
1:50Is this guy not playing? What's happening? It's his birthday.
1:52Why is he not getting peppered with targets? We didn't know it was his birthday, though.
1:57No, we did not know it. We didn't. I didn't find it until afterwards, but if I had known it was his
2:03birthday, I definitely would have talked about it a lot more, and I probably would have bet even more money on Juwan
2:10Johnson going over his receiving yards prop, catching a touchdown.
2:12But ultimately, because the Lions are the gift that keeps on giving, again, fresh off Thursday Night Football where they just got
2:19boat raced by the Buffalo Bills, putting another 40-burger on that defense.
2:22Yeah, I continue to attack the Lions through all pieces, overs, all over the place.
2:27So Juwan Johnson came through. My only fault was believing in my guy Greg Dulcich.
2:31He's the guy that let me down and kept me from a perfect 5-0 week, but beggars can't be choosers, hit the touchdown call.
2:38No first touchdowns for us, but that one's going to be obviously tougher to hit on a week-to-week basis.
2:43But hey, let's get some more dubs. Let's both get into the green in week two, Welsh.
2:48We're going to turn it around. I'm going to turn it around.
2:51You've got to keep up your momentum here. But like I said, we'll have this each week where what our overall season's
2:58looking like, where the week was before. We've got touchdown calls.
3:01We've got all of it. But a fun thing that you decided to do, so this is the tease that we talked
3:07about last week, and it just so happens that the Thursday game kind of rolled in prior to us recording this, is
3:14you had said, and I've got to be honest with you, I just don't remember how much you said it on air.
3:20We had talked about it before. But you wanted to do what had been done in years prior, at least in theory,
3:26where people talked about if you had bet Christian McCaffrey every single game and rolled over your winnings, you'd have X amount of dollars.
3:33Landry Erickson has said, bet. I'm going to do that.
3:36You bet Jameer Gibbs in week one a unit.
3:38Then you took all of that and you rolled it over to this week.
3:42Jameer Gibbs scored in week two. So we now have the official Jameer Gibbs rollover counter with two straight weeks.
3:48My question is, what's the week that's going to tempt you?
3:51It's cute in theory. This is all a fun game, but you get to eight or nine and we're talking serious bucks.
3:58Do you really think it's going to go 17?
4:00What is the week that you think you would be tempted on the cash out as you are putting your money where
4:07your mouth is and you're rolling over Jameer Gibbs week after week?
4:10Yeah, it really is that loaded question, right? Because you think about, man, I'm sitting on all this money already, all these winnings.
4:17Let's cash out now while we are firmly in the green because it's boom or bust, right?
4:21You're taking all the winnings you get every single week and you're putting it back into the Jameer Gibbs piggy bank, hoping
4:28that it's going to continue to grow by week to week basis.
4:31And he's tough because he's like pretty heavy, like minus money, like especially this week it got minus.
4:36So like I think in total, you're only up like a unit or maybe unit in a quarter.
4:42Which is why it's about the frequency that you're doing it every single week.
4:46That's why it's consistent because, you know, when you say, oh, Jameer Gibbs anytime touchdowns, like, yeah, of course, he's going to score a touchdown.
4:53Like just look at the odds, but not everyone's doing this, right?
4:56Not everyone is betting him every single week to score a touchdown.
5:00And if he does, you get money. Sure. Yeah, it is good money.
5:03It's premature. Like we're in the first quarter with about, you know, nine minutes to go, if you will, in this race here.
5:10But once we get to halftime, you know, and you get to like if you were to get there, we could just
5:16all follow along and see if you get to week seven or eight.
5:20When do you think the first temptation will really roll in?
5:23I think it's going to be when you've hit between eight and ten, somewhere in that markers where you're going to be like, this is a cute game.
5:31Maybe I take some out. But I do think, though, like, I mean, imagine if we get to like weeks 14, 15.
5:37We're talking fantasy playoffs. We're talking, dude, it's like it's the fourth quarter.
5:41Jameer Gibbs still hasn't scored a touchdown yet, but this is the fantasy championships.
5:45This is the 15th week in a row he's going to score a touchdown.
5:49Like, just think about the sweat, dude. Like that itself could be a lot of fun.
5:54And so, again, if the people are doing it with us, like we want we want this to be a squad ride,
6:00because I think it could be a lot of fun just following Jameer Gibbs in this journey.
6:05I think that he could put up 30 touchdowns this year, which is kind of the reason behind the thesis was if
6:11he's going to have a Christian McCaffrey level season, then he should be scoring touchdowns every single week and we should take advantage of it.
6:18Well, we got the counter. We're going to keep tracking.
6:21It's two straight weeks and hopefully we can have some fun and continue playing this game for a little bit longer.
6:27But let's get into the meat of the episode, meat and potatoes of the episode, where we are going to go through our top 10 props.
6:35We've got five each you have got to carry over this really fantastic week.
6:39So let's jump into number one on our favorite props for week two.
6:43And why don't you kick it off for us?
6:45It's actually very funny. The two guys we're going to talk about were both like heavily talked about by both of us last week.
6:52So this is kind of a rollover in a sense.
6:55But why don't you talk about the under you are going to start us off with because we have to get an under from you.
7:02Yes, this is my only under on the card this week.
7:05So being generous again, I am a changed man.
7:08Well, it's because of all the points that were scored in week one.
7:11I need to adjust my prior. So Quinchot Judkins running back for the Cleveland Browns is going to go under 49 and a half rushing yards.
7:19So he only hit this number once in his last six road games dating back to his rookie season.
7:24The matchup for him is absolutely terrible against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers boasting an elite run defense because that's the way that Todd Bowles runs his unit.
7:32Per next gen stats, the Buccaneers rush defense under Todd Bowles has conceded a 38.2% success rate against opposing rushers.
7:38That is the lowest rate in the league since Todd Bowles took over as defensive head coach, coordinator, etc.
7:43in 2019. So we know that he's always good against the run.
7:47And Sean Watson, this Cleveland Browns offensive line basically got no push whatsoever against the Jaguars in week one.
7:52So I'm kind of expecting more of the same from Judkins.
7:55Again, last week it was 12 Rick carries for 33 yards.
7:58And some of that came in garbage time where there was already a blow at the games over Jaguars are gonna have their starters in.
8:06Judkins is still out there trying to just pick up some garbage time yardage.
8:10So 25% success rate on his 12 carries in week one against the Jags.
8:14I'm expecting just very similar type of production here.
8:16It's another tough run defense on the road. And I know Fitz talked about it on the prediction show, but you could
8:23see Shader Sanders in this game at some point.
8:25So I think this is another bad spot for the Brownies.
8:28Yeah, if I was doing that primer short that I did like last week, I'd probably join you in it and saying,
8:35Quincy John Judkins is if you've got the luxury to fade, you can get into that space and you're fading at under 49.5.
8:41I am going back to the well also. And this is the prop that hit for me and smashed for me last week.
8:48And we're gonna do it again. If you're gonna give me four and a half and you're gonna give me at least
8:54close to even money or plus money, I'm going to take it until the wheels fall off.
8:59This isn't quite Jameer Gibbs, but Parker Washington is back at four and a half receptions.
9:04And it's like in theoretical even money minus 104.
9:06It was plus money last week. And he smashed this in the first half.
9:10So obviously like that was a tough matchup. This is still a relatively tough coverage matchup.
9:15The Chiefs, I think, you know, by their own regard were the ones that hurt themselves the most.
9:20And how the Denver Broncos like they have like good coverage rates and stuff, but they got absolutely run on.
9:26But Parker Washington last week, we saw a 42% air yard share, a 26% target share.
9:30And we saw a first read percentage of almost 28%.
9:33I mind you just wasn't even used in the second half.
9:36He did all of that. He hit this number in the first half.
9:40I would say like when you looked at the Browns and you looked at the coverage and you looked at like Denzel
9:46Ward, and then you had much worse coverage playing out of the slot.
9:50That was a big thing that played a role into this.
9:53I don't think the Broncos are in that situation.
9:56Obviously, Patrick Sertan, great if he's not covering in the slot, not covering Parker Washington.
10:00The slot corners are a little bit better, but the matchup, especially like looking at like PFF, they love this matchup.
10:06They still think this is a great matchup, especially if he's up against Riley Moss.
10:10But I think Trevor Lawrence showed that he is going to sling the ball to Parker Washington.
10:15He got it in the first half. I think there's another chance we're going to get this in the first half again.
10:22So if you give me four and a half, you know what this reminded me of?
10:26This reminded me of, remember, I was actually reminiscing about it a little bit earlier.
10:30Remember, I think it was like two years ago and even in the last year when it was just like, anytime you
10:37saw Bijan Robinson at like 23.5 receiving yards, you're just like, take smack.
10:40Now it's like 38, 39. I was just reminiscing about the days where you can get mid-20s.
10:45This is going to be that same thing. Like when you gave me that, I was taking it.
10:51When you give me this, I'm going to take Parker Washington over on the receptions.
10:55That's where we're playing. We're back at some good ones, but we got more coming up here.

11:48But it's going to help you out. All right, let's go to prop number two on the card.
11:54We are both going with some running backs. And wouldn't you know it that I didn't even realize this.
11:59Did I manifest Bijan Robinson? Because poof, here he is, Erickson.
12:02It was so fun taking over on a good player last week, Jonathan Taylor.
12:06So I decided to run it back. Yeah, I'm going to just take these elite running backs and just, hey, they're going
12:13to smash when they have these pristine matchups. So Bijan Robinson over 126 and a half rushing and receiving yards.
12:18This is by far the biggest number I've ever put on the prop show in my time here at Betting Pros.
12:24So this is this is a weird territory for me.
12:27But dude, that Carolina Panthers defense, man. Cheeks, buns, whatever you want to say.
12:31They got absolutely truck sticked last week by the Chicago Bears, who almost combined for 300 rushing yards in total.
12:37So I am not just doing rushing yards here, though.
12:40I'm doing yards from scrimmage because we know that Bijan Robinson can inflict damage on opposing defenses in all sorts of ways, both as a rusher and receiver.
12:48And because I have no idea how this game is going to play out, this is a four outcome type of matchup between the Panthers.
12:55I could see the Panthers ball at the Falcons.
12:58I could see the Falcons ball at the Panthers.
13:00It could be a close game. It could be all over the place.
13:04But I do know that no matter what, all paths to the offense lead through Bijan Robinson.
13:09He had a career high in terms of his workload last week.
13:12I think that he got a touch on 65 percent of his snaps played.
13:16And I know the coaches are talking about, yeah, well, we want to balance it out a little bit more.
13:22It's like, well, dude, if you want to score points on offense, then you need to give him the ball as many times as humanly possible.
13:29So I think Bijan coming off a game last week against the Steelers, he went over 130 yards from scrimmage last week.
13:36He's been over 126 and a half rushing and receiving yards in four of his last five games played.
13:41And he actually averaged just over this number, 127 yards from scrimmage in both his games last year against the Carolina Panthers defense.
13:48So I get it's a high number. I get that this can be kind of shaky because it's such a big number for him to hit.
13:55It's going to take the entire game probably. But I think ultimately when push comes to shove, unless he gets banged up
14:01or something like that, I mean, he's going to get his opportunities against this Carolina defense that could not stop the run in week one.
14:09So give me the over on Bijan. Yeah, I like that you did the receiving and the rushing like that.
14:14That combo kind of covers you in a couple spots because, you know, Bijan can go absolutely ballistic in the receiving game.
14:21So I'm with that. That's a fun one. I do not have as much of a fun name, but I have talked
14:27about this throughout the week in my logic of where this is going.
14:31And I'm going to Jeremiah Love and I've been kind of negative about drafting on Jeremiah Love, but we did see him
14:37early on and this is a bad rushing matchup.
14:40So why Jeremiah Love? Because of the receiving end is what we're going to play.
14:44So the Seahawks definitely are going to stuff around.
14:46I got to be honest with you, there might even be some plays on unders on some of the rushing yards.
14:52I've seen the props, especially on Jeremiah Love. But I expect the Seahawks to be able to lock this run game down.
14:59I do not think the Cardinals are going to have the success that they had last week against the Chargers with that Seahawks defense.
15:06So what that is going to end up doing is that's going to put them in a situation where they're going to be passing more.
15:13And we saw Jeremiah Love have some success out of that.
15:16He had, I mean, didn't have a bunch of yards or anything, but he saw four targets in that early snap share.
15:22That's a big positive. His projections on betting pros is in the 19 range.
15:26So this is supported fantasy pros got it in the 19 range as well.
15:30But also you saw eight targets, seven catches and 53 yards out of the backfield against the Seahawks with the Patriots.
15:36That was around seven and a half per catch.
15:39So if Jeremiah Love is going to see that three to four marker again, and he catches two passes might get me
15:45in there, but catching three, we're going to lock this down.
15:48One big play. This is the way that any of these Cardinals running backs are going to make anything out of this.
15:55It's going to be in the passing game and it looks like he's going to be someone they want to get the ball out of.
16:02It's not going to be as much Tyler Algier.
16:04I think you're going to have situations where they're going to want to sling the crap out of it and they're going to have to play check down.
16:12And that's where Jeremiah Love is going to come into play.
16:16Also, you know, I'm very interested to see in more open field, if he can start forcing some more, uh, forcing some
16:22more missed tackles, which he had a couple of those in that first game snap percentages moves up a little bit.
16:28Give me Jeremiah Love receiving yards, 15.5 on the over for my second one.
16:32All right. Number three on this list. This is where I'm actually going to be jumping into my big name.
16:38That's going to make me give a little sigh of relief, but you have been teasing this one over the last couple
16:44of shows that people have been watching. I knew he was going to be on your card and I think you even insinuated it.
16:51So you're going to be digging a little bit into a lower name guy that you're locked into for week three, this wide receiver.
16:58And what prop are you going with? Mack Hollins, Mack money.
17:01Hollins, as I like to call him over a 35 and a half receiving yards, wide receiver, the new wide receiver one
17:07for the New England Patriots, because it's not Romeo Dobbs, despite the fact that the Patriots paid him so much money in free agency.
17:14He just has the trust of Drake May. It was so clear in the Seahawks game in week one when AJ Brown
17:20went down, who Drake May was hoping to get the ball to.
17:24And it was not Romeo Dobbs. It was not Demary Douglas.
17:27It was not Hunter Henry. It was Mack Hollins.
17:30Like that's the guy that was stepping up the biggest point.
17:33He drew four targets after AJ Brown left that game.
17:36That was the most of any, any of the receivers for New England totaled five targets in the game for a 15% target share.
17:42So if you look at just Mack Hollins and what he's done when he's had a full-time role in Sovitz, because he
17:49has really not been a full-time wide receiver for the Patriots for the most time that he's been there.
17:54People don't know this, but he's a 33 year old journeyman wide receiver.
17:58Like he's like not some like younger player. He's been around the NFL for a long time, but he's had a lot of success with Josh McDaniels.
18:06He was with Josh McDaniels with the Las Vegas Raiders alongside Devontae Adams.
18:09And he had some productive years there with McDaniels calling the shot.
18:13So I'm just looking at when he's actually had a full-time role.
18:16So if you look at him last 10 games he's played, he's over 35 and a half receiving arts in seven of those games.
18:23He went over 35 and a half receiving arts in both games last year when Kayshawn Booty was dealing with an injury.
18:30So again, when he's had his snap share and routes increase in the Patriots lineup with Drake May, he has delivered on this number.
18:36Last 10 games when he's captured at least a 66% snap share, which he also hit last week, he has gone over
18:4335 and a half receiving arts eight times, averaging over four catches for 60 receiving arts and 6.4 targets per game.
18:49And all the rumblings out of Patriots practice this week has Matt Collins leading all the Patriots wide receivers and drills.
18:55Every single drill. He's the first guy out there.
18:57So he was given off the Mike Evans number 13 drip when I was at Patriots training camp and I didn't believe it.
19:04That's what my eyes were telling me. I was like, does this guy really look like Mike Evans?
19:09Like he's got like the chrome visor on. He's wearing like these like weird, he like does all of this.
19:15Again, like, you know, the whole Matt Collins, he doesn't wear cleats or whatever.
19:19He doesn't wear shoes. No, it's all the drip without shoes.
19:22And he has a whole social media thing where he does like home hacks, where he's like, you need to know how
19:28to change your water heater and like stuff like that.
19:31Like he's really like interesting guy in character, but he's a good football player too.
19:35So I think he's going to deliver here. I'm not afraid of the Steelers defense.
19:40I know they have a couple of decent corners, Jamal Dean, maybe Joey Porter Jr.
19:44plays in this matchup, but I don't think it's going to matter.
19:47I think Drake May is going to find Matt Collins early and often.
19:51I think that he's going to easily go over 35 and a half receiving yards.
19:56Joey Porter is not playing in this game. Like we've talked about that.
19:59He, I think he even left practice and they said, he like downgraded.
20:03It seemed like he was trending in the right direction.
20:06And he's like, now my back hurts. It's like, Oh my, the contract that I don't have on my back really hurts.
20:12I got to go. It's totally not a state.
20:15It's the most ridiculous thing. He's not playing. I like this one.
20:18All right. I am going, and I want to give you some transparency on this.
20:22I did have another name on this team. So I just want to put it out there when this doesn't hit.
20:28And this other one hits, I'll hate myself for it.
20:31I had, I'm just going to say it. I had TJ Hawkinson, 26.5, but I also have the bad taste in my
20:38mouth of taking all of my crappy players that I love on props and having a bad week last week.
20:43I still think the Hawkinson one is a solid play, but I had to move it because I really like this because it's plus money.
20:51I'm going with Justin Jefferson. So that's my big name.
20:53That's my sigh of relief. You had your, uh, Bijan Robinson because you're getting big plus money at six and a half
21:00receptions, like plus one 20 plus one 21 on six and a half receptions for Justin Jefferson.
21:05Now the reason behind it is obviously going to be a concern around Carson Wentz.
21:09I think they have her in the offense, but I don't think you have to.
21:13That's kind of been my point for this week.
21:16You Erickson, we've talked on so many shows that like the bears defense, not great.
21:20Carson Wentz is a pretty good manager of these pieces.
21:23And what did he do? He did a good job getting the ball to Jefferson last week.
21:28Jefferson saw nine targets last week. He had around a 10, a dot.
21:32Check this out. A 49% air yard share, 37 and a half percent, uh, target share.
21:36And then this is the big one. 53% first read 53% first read.
21:40I say that again, when you go and look at the matchup from the previous week for the bears against the Panthers,
21:46they led eight and nine targets to Ted Aroa and Jalen Coker, the top two wide receivers.
21:51One of those guys went over this, uh, Jalen Coker actually caught a bunch of his passes.
21:56He had eight and McMillan only caught five, but he had eight opportunities on it.
22:00They're going to throw the ball. Justin Jefferson saw the most absurd first read percentage there.
22:05They're taking this down because it is Carson Wentz, but I think Carson Wentz is sneaky.
22:09I had to talk myself out of his passing yards.
22:12I had to talk myself out of his, his touchdown number.
22:15Cause you could do that 1.5 over. I had to talk myself out of TJ Hawkinson.
22:20I'm not going to do it with Justin Jefferson.
22:23I don't think the Vikings are done in this.
22:25We talked about on the tailgate. I think the Vikings are actually live in this game as well, even though they're, they're
22:31plus four and a half, I think was the earliest number, but plus money.
22:36Justin Jefferson after getting a 53% first read share.
22:38Yeah, I think so. I'm going to lock that in six and a half over on the receptions for Mr.
22:44JJ, Justin Jefferson, Jetta. Give me that all day for the plus.
22:47Love me some plus money reception props. All right.

24:49All right, prop number four for each of us.
24:51This is, oh God, can I count? This is what, seven and eight, I believe, total.
24:56It belongs to the 49ers, because we are straight 49ering it, which I can appreciate right here for good luck, even though
25:02this helmet is not either one of the guys we're going to talk about.
25:06I think ours play a nice correlation here. So why don't you present your 49er bet for the week against the Miami Dolphins?
25:13I'm going with Brock Purdy over 19 and a half completions, and this comes courtesy of the betting pros prop bet cheat sheet.
25:19This is a five-star bet courtesy of the projections.
25:22He has gone over this number, seven of his last 12 games played, four of his last five home games.
25:28Last week against the Rams in week one, he completed 25 passes.
25:31The 49ers ranked third in week one in terms of pass rate over expectation, and it was Brock Purdy doing a lot of his damage underneath.
25:38And anyone that was watching that game, you could see that Purdy was just in full command of the offense, and he
25:45was just finding the open guy, whether it was Mike Evans, moving the chains, Dio Samuel behind the line of scrimmage, Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield.
25:52He was peppering his targets all over the place, but it wasn't a lot of downfield attempts.
25:57His average depth of his throw was under five yards.
26:00So if he continues to kind of operate efficiently underneath, then I think he's going to crush this number against the Miami
26:07Dolphins secondary that you can basically do whatever you want against this defense, right?
26:11They just don't have many good players. Last week, Kirk Cousins, he completed 21 passes on 30 attempts against the Dolphins, and
26:17that was at a 7.8 average depth of target.
26:19So he was even trying to go more downfield, and he was still getting over 21 completions or over 19 and a half completions.
26:26So I'm just trusting the prop bet cheat sheet here.
26:29And there is a scenario, too, where if for some reason the 49ers don't completely just like blow the doors off the
26:35Miami Dolphins because of the time zone thing, I know that's what Seth is telling us on the betting pro.
26:41You know he picked the spoiler. He picked the Dolphins as his upset special.
26:45He picked the Dolphins on the money line. Get out of here.
26:49Really? No, that's what he picked. What is this, the whole West Coast going to the East Coast thing?
26:54No, it's no, because they're playing at home. It's just the whole, like, Australia to the West Coast.
26:59Again, I couldn't get there with the money line, but I'm just saying, like, if the game is not a total blowout,
27:06because the 49ers have been known to be overvalued at home against the spread, they've actually, I'm pretty sure, not covered the
27:12spread in 15 of the last 16 games after a win.
27:15So they have been overrated. So if it's a 10-point game, then at least Brock Purdy, you're assuming, isn't just, like, handing
27:21the ball off to Kalen Black for the entire second half of the game.
27:25And hopefully completing passes to get over this number.
27:28Okay, hold on. Is he taking the Dolphins straight up, or is he taking the spread?
27:33His pick was Dolphins money line. Oh, my God.
27:35Okay. That was his upset special. I'm going to, we get one Seth a year.
27:39Like, we're going to put it up here. Three Seths and you're out.
27:43That's what it's going to do. I guess I'm going to give him more than one.
27:48That, I got to figure out how I'm marking this.
27:51You know what? He, I will boom, boom to him.
27:53I'm going to get him on the show next week.
27:56A prop show. So this is what's going to happen.
27:59I'm going to tell you right now. If that win, I'll let him host it if he wants.
28:04That'll be my gift. You can host it. I'll leave.
28:07Got the ax. I'll leave. If, if, if the Dolphins went on the money line, he's going to come on and I'm
28:14going to give him a minute to gloat. But if the 49ers beat the pants off, he's going to come on here
28:20and he's going to take it for about 30 seconds.
28:23If they, if they went by 20, if they went by 24 or more, he's coming on this show and he's a
28:29wrecking for that as the 49er Homer, I guess here.
28:32Oh, I mean, okay. Like I'm fine with like, I took the Rams last week and I get that, but that's the,
28:38that's some insanity in there, but I'm going to go to my prop because I'm going to join you in this.
28:44I do not buy or co-sign the upside special of the week, but God, God willing for him, not for me.
28:50I actually am playing an alt line here. Mike Evans receptions is actually three and a half over, but it's juiced and I don't like it.
28:58I don't like that number. And I feel very confident that we are going to see more than the three and a half over.
29:05I kind of wonder if one of it is, you know, maybe there's like a little bit of hold for them coming back.
29:11Maybe it's that they beat the woodworks off of the team and then they're not really playing in the second half.
29:17But regardless, Mike Evans saw seven targets. He saw them early on.
29:21His average depth of target has not been tremendously high.
29:23He was around an eight ADOT. You know, he got the 37.7% first read share.
29:28He didn't dominate the target share as you kind of mentioned, or even the actual first read share.
29:33It was around 24%, but he was kind of early and often.
29:36And if he does play it shorter downfield, this still works really well for Mike Evans.
29:41And guess what? If Seth is right and he's the new daddy of the amazing calls, this still works out well for
29:47me because the Niners are ultra competitive. The thing that doesn't work well for me is that the 49ers are up 30 to nothing at half.
29:55And then they want Mike Evans to, you know, massage and work out and rest that hamstring so it doesn't get blown out or whatever.
30:02That's the thing that doesn't work out for me.
30:04But even then, I don't care because a defense is bad.
30:08And Mike Evans is going to see early targets as the Niners did before.
30:12And I really like this alt reception line. It is plus 158 for five receptions for Mike Evans in this game.
30:18My biggest plus money play so far on the prop show, five receptions.
30:21Mike Evans, lock it up. And maybe either way, you guys are going to see Seth next week.
30:27What a call. I mean, I appreciate that. Seth ain't afraid.
30:30He ain't scared. So I can appreciate that. But absolutely horrendous, horrendous call.
30:33And I will eat my words. And I wouldn't say I'm not going to eat a dolphin or something like that, but
30:40I'll let him choose some horrible punishment. The poor animal.
30:43No, I love dolphins. That's like one of my favorite animals.
30:46I wouldn't do that in the first place, but we'll figure out some punishment.
30:50People probably love to see me shut the hell up.
30:53All right, let's go with the final one here.
30:55The final ones. These are actually going to be really fun.
30:58I'm going to preemptively tell you my under is coming up.
31:02I did hit my under last week. And this under, I talked about another show, but I love it so much.
31:08It's like my favorite under. I'm really locked into it, but I will do that here in a second.
31:13You've got a really sneaky play that you're dropping in here.
31:16And I'm actually surprised this number is out there.
31:19There's a little bit of juice with it, but I think people are going to vibe with it.
31:24So let's talk about your final prop. Rashad Bateman over two and a half receptions.
31:28It seems like the trend is that Zay Flowers is not going to be playing in week two, dealing with his hamstring injury.
31:35Jacoby Lane, we already know is not going to play after he fractured his wrist in week one.
31:40So that leaves Rashad Bateman as the de facto Ravens wide receiver one.
31:44Now don't look at any of his box scores from last year because you will find basically no games where he has at least three catches.
31:51This is a really more of a shoot from the hip kind of vibe type of pick.
31:56Vibes play. Hell yeah. That's why I got the cool glasses.
31:59I'm giving the vibes, baby. Again, just hit midnight here while we're recording.
32:03It's Friday for me. It's Thursday for Welsh. I mean, that weird time warp thing with Kyle Shanahan, et cetera.
32:09But Rashad Bateman, he's going to catch at least three passes in week two against the New Orleans Saints because number one
32:15wide receiver left for the Ravens last week. The usage was very strong.
32:19He ran a route on 96% of Lamar Jackson's dropbacks.
32:22He is on the field almost every single time they throw the football.
32:2579.7% snap share. Again, he has a full-time role in this offense and the head coach.
32:30Shout him out after the game. Shout to the coach peak index.
32:33Again, Jesse Minter mentioned big days are still ahead for Rashad Bateman, even after an empty box score in week one.
32:39And technically it wasn't even that empty of a box score because he did actually have a 19-yard catch that was called back due to a holding penalty.
32:47So his box score is a donut with one target.
32:50It was actually one catch for 19 yards on two targets.
32:53So a little bit better. Still not three receptions like we're trying to get to, but we're not done yet.
32:59One more thing to mention. Declan Doyle, the new offensive play caller, said post game again, shout out to the coach peak index, Greg Brainos.
33:06Excellent job over there. Was regretting not getting Bateman more touches in week one.
33:10Quote. Man, I got to get bait a touch here.
33:13Wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. That quote was killer.
33:16Can you give it to me one more time?
33:19That was so good. Man, I got to get bait a touch here.
33:22Declan Doyle, the offensive play caller. So again, don't look at the numbers because there's no numbers that suggest that he's going
33:29to hit three catches, but everything else we're projecting ahead.
33:31We're forecasting what this matchup could look like against the Saints.
33:35And I think Rashad Bateman, because he's also good.
33:37This isn't like an Xavier to get play where I'm like, yeah, he's going to be out there.
33:42Like that guy can't catch a cold. So never Xavier to get overs.
33:46Rashad Bateman, very good separator. He always ranks really high in a lot of these separation metrics.
33:51He's going to be open. I think Lamar Jackson is going to hit him a couple of times.
33:56So going to take the over two and a half catches in week two for Shoddy B.
34:01We're having like way too much fun with these shows.
34:04We should also do a, we should track vibes, vibe bets this year.
34:08We're tracking Gibbs rollovers and props. Let's do some vibe bets.
34:11I'm totally down with it. Because we're recording late at night.
34:14Now you're getting Erickson after midnight. This is what happens.
34:17Things get kind of loony. Loony. Yeah. Well, and I think one you can do for me is we can track my
34:23unders because it's not something it's, it's, is it the over is where I go.
34:27You're one that you're perfect on unders on Monday night football.
34:31Want to know? And we'll see if I can go to a no.
34:34I'm going back to a primetime game here. And this is one of my favorites.
34:39And I found out after the fact, because I did do the Sunday night, Monday night football shows with Bogman.
34:44Found out after the fact that this bet is a five star bet on betting pros fully locked in.
34:50Daniel Jones, the game. Daniel Jones, the game. Daniel Jones, the game.
34:53And I'm going to go to a no. 32.5 under.
34:56Big old under. Projections around 30. By the way, last week, Bo Nix held a 28 even when they were down.
35:02Daniel Jones has not hit this marker in five straight games played and has only gone over this twice in his last 10.
35:09So eight of 10 on the under. I think also this game is primed to be more of a game that's on the ground.
35:16The Chiefs set themselves to want to run the ball a ton with Ken Walker.
35:20They did not. They didn't find success passing the ball, but they want to run with Ken Walker and Emmitt Johnson.
35:26Well, guess what? The Colts are going to want to do the same thing early on.
35:30They're going to want to get Jonathan Taylor's involved in this game as possible.
35:34The Chiefs are just not a team that you're also going to be passing that much on.
35:39So this is a smash play for me. Hopefully it's going to pan out.
35:4332.5 on the under. Projections at 30. Five-star bet on Betting Pros.
35:47We're trying to go 2-0 on the unders. Those are the 10 prop bets that we are locked into, but we are
35:53not done because it is time for some touchdown calls and our newest addition, our first touchdown in here.
35:59First, tell you guys about the touchdown score report.

36:14Head to bettingpros.com slash touchdown for the latest touchdown prop analysis.
36:17Do it today. Last week, you did hit yours, and I think it was like a, was it like 220?
36:23220 to one or something like that? So you're positive ROI.
36:26We tend to attempt to do like a, somewhere between it's gotta be plus money.
36:30We always do plus money, plus money, like, you know, plus 105 to 195 ish.
36:34And then we do a little deeper one, that deeper one, usually going to probably sit in the two or two and
36:41a half to ones, but Hey, sometimes we might get crazy with it.
36:44We got two touchdown plays and yours are both close to that two to one marker.
36:49So where are you going with your touchdown calls this week?
36:52Going with Terry McLaurin, two to one facing the Dallas Cowboys.
36:55He saw all of his other wide receiver friends on the commander score touchdowns last week.
37:00Stephon Diggs scored touchdown and Tony Williams scored touchdowns, but no touchdowns for Terry McLaurin.
37:04Got a big old fat zero for fantasy points and catches and yards for McLaurin so much so that on the extra
37:11point on the fantasy pros feed, people were talking about, yeah, I'm an Eagles fan.
37:15Does Terry McLaurin, does he still have it? What is this guy?
37:18Someone, someone compared to a bag of chips. What was that question we got?
37:22Wasn't it like, it was like Caleb Douglas or Terry McLaurin, like that worried.
37:26Should I pick him up again? People, people are upset about Terry.
37:30And that's why I think this number is valued here at two to one when he's facing the Dallas Cowboys and all of Jaden Daniels rookie season.
37:37We saw Terry McLaurin just score touchdown after touchdown after touchdown.
37:41So he had a monster year that year. Obviously last season was a down year because he was injured, but I think
37:47this is a great bounce back spot for him.
37:49So you could approach it with the yards or the receptions, but I just think it's going to hit Pater.
37:55So give me Terry McLaurin at two to one to score a touchdown.
37:59And then my other touchdown bet is going to this bears Vikings game.
38:03I think when you're doing your touchdowns, you got to have a bear.
38:06I think that's got to be the rule for the show.
38:10We got to have at least one bear on the card or someone that's facing the bears on the card.
38:15So my pick here, I know because you have Jefferson going.
38:18So I have Colston Loveland again, another player coming off a really bad game, basically no involvement, but he did get a run zone target last week.
38:26Caleb Williams missed him. That won't happen two weeks in a row.
38:30I think especially against a Brian Flores led defense.
38:32I think you could see some opportunities where you're getting heavy personnel sets to pick up the blitzes, which means a lot
38:39of tight ends, which means a lot of involvement for Colston Loveland, who still ran the most routes among all of the bear skill pass catchers.
38:46So again, at close to two to one plus one 90 Colston Loveland, big red zone target for Caleb.
38:51I think he scores in week two. It's actually kind of pissed at myself for not picking that one after you.
38:57I was like, dang, I did leave him on the table because I think we've said that's great buyback opportunity on Colston Loveland.
39:04I will say the market didn't really give him a lot of like benefit of the doubt.
39:09You know what I mean? Like his reception, his receiving yards are still up there.
39:13His you would love to see it have come down a little bit like three and a half receptions and like low 40s.
39:20It's high 40s. It might even push into the 50s.
39:23Receptions are around the 4.5 over. So there's not a lot of benefit of the doubt given.
39:28But where I'm going, one of them, the easy one, but it's plus money, plus 130.
39:32Mike Evans, as mentioned before, Mike Evans saw multiple targets in the end zone.
39:36He also saw an end zone target when they were inside the 20.
39:40I don't really need to give you those numbers to know that like Mike Evans is going to be a red zone target.
39:46I think the 49ers are going to have plentiful of end zone and red zone opportunities.
39:51They are going to clearly try to get the ball to Mike Evans.
39:55And this is a really good spot. We're getting plus money on him.
39:59The other one, it's a little bit deeper. So I guess this is the biggest number of the four that we have here.
40:05And it's Matthew Golden. Matthew Golden last week with the Green Bay Packers.
40:09One of the biggest surprises was not just the big target share, but how about a 30% first read share?
40:15Also, he saw three targets inside the 20 and two red zone targets.
40:18It's phenomenal. Like he is like a sneaky waiting to happen wide.
40:22I know Christian Watson absolutely went ballistic, but don't sleep on Golden because the opportunities are coming.
40:27There might be some more props in there, but for him to have gotten those red zone opportunities already in that first
40:33one, a 30% first read share when they get into the red zone, that opportunity is going to pop back up.
40:39And if we get it this week, we're getting it at plus 220.
40:43So I really, really like that one for my deeper play.
40:46Matthew Golden. Wasn't he on your card last week?
40:48He was my first touchdown. He was my first touchdown bet.
40:52Yeah. He did get, I mean, he, he had an opportunity when they were rolling to catch one, but he would have
40:58had to make like a cool play, but he's not my first touchdown.
41:02I mean, he had a, I mean, being in on Matthew Golden last week in any capacity was very, very sharp because
41:08he had a monster game, 12 targets. Like, so, well, now we're going to get that touchdown here.
41:13All right. The final thing in, this is the newest thing we've added.
41:17First touchdown. We did not hit. I had Matthew Golden last week.
41:20I'm forgetting who you had. Charlie. No, are Charlie.
41:23It's bad. It's don't work. But you said, you said, hold my first touchdown because I'm going to go bigger this week.
41:29No joke. 80 to one. Erickson's dropping an 80.
41:32You know what? Hold on. I'm telling you 80 to one.
41:35Let's do mine. Cause mine isn't as impressive. I'm going to give you a 28 to one.
41:40So know that there's an 80 to one coming and I'm going with Eli Raritan.
41:44Hopefully you like that one. I actually think like back in the red zone, they could do this again.
41:49Pittsburgh Steelers can typically struggle against tight ends. They seem to like him in that spot.
41:54I think Drake May is going to have a bounce back spot.
41:5728 to one Eli Raritan for my first touchdown, but it holds nothing to an 80 to one marker.
42:03Present us with the ultimate first touchdown. This first touchdown will cover you for the season.
42:08If you lock it out, who do you have?
42:10I have a Houston Texans rookie tight end Marlon Klein.
42:13For those that aren't familiar. We know that Nico Collins probably a long shot to play in this matchup against Cincinnati Bengals
42:19who are notoriously been very bad against tight ends.
42:22Dalton Schultz is most likely going to be the most steamed up guy in fantasy rankings across the board.
42:27And Welsh, what happens when a tight end like that gets put and thrust into a, oh, this guy's going to smash.
42:34Every other tight end on the team catches a touchdown except for him.
42:37So unfortunately, that's not wrong. Okay. So like that's my process here.
42:41Dalton Kincaid is going to be amazing. Cole Komet for the touchdown.
42:44Dawson Knox for the touchdown. Even though Kincaid got one too.
42:47Yeah. That's okay. But who scored first? That's what matters.
42:50So Marlon Klein, you know whose birthday? It was.
42:53No. Don't you tell me there's an 80 to one birthday first touchdown bet.
42:57Do not tell me Klein's birthday is on Sunday.
42:59It's not on Sunday. It was today. His birthday was today.
43:03Oh, well, happy birthday. But they're still going to celebrate him by getting him the first touchdown because it's either, it's either
43:09going to be him or Cade Stover or Foster Moreau.
43:12It's going to be one of these guys for the Houston Texans.
43:15You could bet them all, but only one of them is at 80 to one.
43:19And that guy is Marlon Klein. And he only ran two routes last week.
43:23So we were working with a very low sample size, but he did get one target.
43:28He looked pretty good. And he's a player that they have been very buzzy about in a very Eli Raritan way where
43:34out of camp, it's like, hey, we really like this guy.
43:38He's a talented player. They drafted him pretty high and they like him a lot as a receiver.
43:43And the fact that he got positive feedback after the first game of the season, I think that his role will increase,
43:49especially with Neagle Collins, not in the lineup, especially as a red zone threat.
43:53So I know ultimately it's going to be end up being Moreau or Cade Stover or one of these other dudes.
43:59It's not going to be Schultz. I know it's not going to be Schultz.
44:03Guaranteed. That's a lock. Anti-touchdown first touchdown for Adela Schultz.
44:06So I'm going to go with Marlon Klein. And again, pick your favorite Texans tight end to score a touchdown.
44:12First touchdown. I like it too. Should be fun.
44:14He could straight up double his routes run 100% and he gets four.
44:18Two to four. That's all that he needs. If he can get two, I get it.
44:23I only need one target. You care about one.
