Welcome to Championship Weekend. It is I want your flex at Mike up at Swollen Dome on exit them up and on Blue Sky at Mike Harmon. You can find me on Blue Sky at Dan Bayer b E y E R and on X at Dan Byer on Fox. We do have to start with that monstrosity of a game. Where was the monsters of the Midway And I don't know what the Seahawks and Bears provided, so monstrosity seemed to fit Mike your my Seahawks. Maybe the best outcome for us both, but it did take I guess the good news is it took two and a half hours off of our life on Thursday night and not three hours, because at least it was a quick game in that six ' three matchup.

Fortunately, I had a good second screen experience my daughter and I, you know, because I'm a holiday holiday holiday stopping down here, So I had the Bears on one screen in the first Captain America movie on the other. So I at least had a little bit of action and entertainment along the way in the six ' to three barn Burner. But as I posted on Twitter as I was watching it, because you know, you'd scroll and you'd see all the commentary about how bad it was, Dan, It's like, you know.

It's like all of the you know, the complaining about where the games are being streamed or whatever else. Like once upon a time, you were good with the three you got each week, and you didn't complain. You watched George Michael fire up the sporting machine, right, you know, the George Michael's sports machine. At the end of the night, you saw a couple more highlights, and then you went on with your day and you read the newspaper. But here was oh, this is this and this and this's like shut up, go watch something else. There's plenty of holiday movie marathons on. You can go watch whatever Harry Potter is being streamed, and.

I'll tell you what. There was a lot on the line for my Seahawks and your Bears keep positioning in the draft, so that's good for them. But for fantasy football wise, there were some players I was one of my buddies was texting me in our long you know, our longtime league. He was going up against Seahawks defense, and so it's just like you're hoping for well for his sake, he's just come on, Bears, do something. Because of the three points that they only had on the board, which was not good for him. The sacks ended up hurting him and he just is like man, and he had some other stuff he had. He went up against Derrick Henry on Christmas Day, so he's off to a bad start and he said death by one thousand paper cuts. Because Mike, this is only day two. There was only day two of our five day window of games that we have here in week seventeen. It's a lot. I mean, Saturday will three more get off the board, and then you go to Sunday and then obviously the Monday night are with the Lions and forty nine ers to likely wrap up a lot of fantasy seasons. But yeah, it's gonna be a long week. And Thursday night didn't make it any shorter, I'll tell you that much.

No, And that's just that's the worst of it, right, is that if you played anybody now you're over You're gonna overthink every other roster spot you've got going right, the extra wide receiver, the extra flex, whatever the case may be.

It's what's on the wire, what's.

Sitting on the bench, and really the best and worst of it, right, because you really need to show self control, something none of us do at the holidays in any regard. But you know, watching this one play out, it was interesting. I mean I commented only a couple of times in the Twitter verse just on third down calls that just left me laughing. But both quarterbacks it combined for fifty one pass attempts. How many of them were screen passes.

My daughter was just laughing at me, Dan, like just because I'm still living and dying with it, Like what are we doing? And again, as you said, for both teams, exactly the result you wanted. You got your win at the Seahawks. Was it pretty hell? No, but it rained. It was miserable. Your defense did all the kid hoped to do. You piled up seven sacks. You get the laid in how they're not trotting. I don't care what the footing is. If that guy can't one time try a fifty seven yard field goal, or your quarterback can't back up enough to where he can launch one fifty seven yards to the end zone, what the hell are we doing but clock management once again for the Bears. Look, it's a broken record. We've been watching it all year. DeAndre Swift, let me run nine yards that way. Caleb Williams still thinking after nine straight losses, he can evade people with that little curl, move back to the inside and run past people. No, wait, that guy's waiting for me and he's going to attack me. So yeah, DJ Moore six for fifty four. I guess as you're three, you take your eleven point four and you move on, but you're obviously hoping for more Keenan Allen and been playing well seven point five ain't getting it done Roma Dunes. They had to catch obviously the touchdown taking off the board that everybody's still salty. I was like, man, the offensive line is only one part of a grand maze full of problems here, you know, not to mention the GM that's still allegedly going to get to hire the next head coach. But that's that's a whole, other, whole other thing. And that DK Metcalp, How the hell was he still on the field, Dan, I mean, he's your guy, but yeah, how many swipes in a guy's head plus ahead butt do you get before you're injecked.

I guess you know. And when you're you're only good good for three catches for twenty three yards or whatever it was on U on Thursday, And I had to like, we might also keep him in the game because it's not going to make any other difference otherwise. So they so they ended up doing so, And yeah, kept jawing three for forty two. I actually I short changed a couple, but oh well, yeah, not much.

Locke it three for twenty, Noah fans had the same play run repeatedly. Uh hey, Zach Sharbonet, I guess at least got you what seventy six? He's over ten points, so as at RB two, I guess you grit your teeth.

And move on.

Yeah, but yeah, you still have three more days of football that you have to suffer on account.

Yeah, but yeah, you still have three more days of football that you have to suffer on account.

Hopefully the damage was not much on Thursday night. I will say this, what is interesting about the Seahawks six and one on the road this season pretty crazy. They actually haven't been good at home. Lions are unbeaten at home. Kansas City seven and one, Minnesota is six and one. But the Seahawks, and they've got their final game of the year is on the road against the Rams, which could be it'll be for all the marbles in the NFC West. If the Rams lose on Saturday night, it may be for all of the marbles, with some caveats if the Rams end up winning. Rams have the edge with the strength of schedule. You may have heard Al Michaels talk a little bit about it on the broadcast, but essentially there's about six games on Saturday and six or seven and the Seahawks need like three of those games to really go their way to end up changing the strength of schedule format. And because of that, they're usually the better teams that have to lose. They need those better teams to end up getting a loss, so it would lessen what the what the Rams have. So we'll see, we'll see, we'll see what happens. But still Seahawks are still in it somehow, some way after that disaster of a game on Thursday night. Let's see, we.

Say, Dan though, let's always succeed in proceed I gotta ask the one last question out of this because the the booth. I wanted your perception of the booth on the famous fumble that ends up getting returned to the touchdown, crowd responses, whatever, And it was pretty clear as day what had actually happened, and they got the ruling right out the third at Bite at the Apple. Yeah, but it seemed like Michael, you know, l Michael's and Kirkurbstreet were to enamored with the crowd and making fun of them to actually pay attention to anything that was happening on them.

Yeah, it was such a weird it was such a weird play that there wasn't This is now I like Herb Street, and Herbstreet's had a rough couple of weeks. I get it. Waiting doesn't matter, Dan, Yeah, whinning doesn't matter. I get there. And there's he's not liked in Columbus right now. And but the point being is, I think that those are opportunities that you have to jump in and kind of take the wheel. You have to say, hold on a sec. We haven't there are no refs that are following anybody down the field. This place, you know, still may be live, and that didn't happen, and so they're just wondering. And then you get the announcement and it's like, oh surprise, and Tyler Lockett's yelling you blew the whistle. And then the replay was clear as day. You know that he that he was down and down by contact, And I guess Mike is a situation like that where they're like, okay, let's just call it a touchdown and then we'll review it.

Well you wit and post, yeah, yeah.

Well you wit and post, yeah, yeah.

Well they could have just they could have, honestly, just like they could have just split the difference and said it was a turnover called a debt at the spot, which would have allowed them to review because it was a turnover, but wouldn't have given them the score. And in that, you know, that's the point of I understand, not just like giving them a team a touchdown because you can have an opportunity to review it, because sometimes camera angles are blocked or something happens, But that to me probably would have been the most sufficient way for the officiating to handle it. Now, in the end, the call was right, but yeah, it was kind of a mess all around, and the booth really didn't do anything to provide any clarity at all for us.

So yeah, just an amazing, amazing run, one of two, seventy two done. Congratulations on still being alive. And for the Bears and their Bears fans, once they sleep this one off, they'll realize this was for the best. Sometimes you have to hit what might even be a lower rock bottom than you could have ever anticipated.

Let's get to Mike Carmen's rankings for Championship Week in many leagues in Week seventeen, we've already got six teams off the board, so we'll have to deal with the other two six. Mike Corey, your top five quarterbacks for Week seventeen.

All right, let's get it started.

All right, let's get it started.

Joe Burrow going up against Denver, second worst over the last four being able to throw the ball on wing it all around the yard. One of the few teams that we can say nobody's on the injury report that I saw today in terms of those big principal players Dan because we've got big names being taken off the board that were on my original scripts for my rankings, and Cold Soares and you name it.

But Burrow goes number one, number two.

But Burrow goes number one, number two.

We're going to go back to Josh Allen week sixteen, say that really fast against New England. But you're looking at over the first meeting, he was at two fifteen and two eighteen rushing yards, using his legs, making plays. Going up against the Jets, expect a bigger effort here, and with Baltimore having already won, you know, it's all about the jockeying for position. And as much as folks want to push the MVP talk away, tell me he doesn't want to be superhuman against the Jets.

Squad where there's still a lot of squawking.

Number three Baker Mayfield going up against Carolina, You've got two hundred and eighty eight or more yards. Three straight games, nine total touchdowns there, Carolina eighth most over the last four weeks allowed to quarterbacks Jadan Daniels four straight multi touchdown games, and what does Atlanta do? They give up passing touchdowns? Opportunity here for him, and then you look at the injured mess. This is where you might have been looking at Richardson, you might have been looking at Jalen Urts. I don't know that either of we're gonna play Dan, so putting up the number five spot here for me ends up becoming by default. We've got Jared Goff against the banged up San Francisco forty nine ers. It's not one I really love because it gets into a bit of a muddled mess here based on matchups and injury issues. But looking at what they've had, Jamir Gibbs has been their their key runner and we'll get to him in a minute. Spreading the ball around to fit effectively. Monster numbers haven't been there, but the matchup is solid because I after being eliminated last week, I don't know how much fights left in San Francisco.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I think of any of the teams that just want the season to end, it's the forty nine ers, So I don't think the Lions are gonna lose the rest of the way. I think that if they play Minnesota with everything on the line, I think that they'll beat them in Week eighteen. But we've talked about our questions with them, and maybe that ends up coming up in the playoffs. But I agree with you, I don't see it happening in week seventeen.

Let's get yeah, let's go to the running backs miike for Week seventeen. Who is on top.

We'll start with Sakwan Barkley, just on his route towards Eric Dickerson, who did a lot of press of it's my record, well no recognizing it, but he made sure to get into it.

One hundred plus in eight of his ten games, he's got six touchdowns and six of them going up against Dallas grudge match. Let's keep the line moving and again with with Hurts a bit banged up, Kenny Pickett was back at practice, but either way, I still see a lot of two steps to Sakuan this week. Bjeonn Robinson, he's having himself a run. You look at the last four weeks twenty two, twenty two, two twenty six carries, ninety two or more rushing yards four straight game. I know Washington's ten the best against running backs here over the last four weeks. But an opportunity here for Bjeon Robinson, because look, they're they're going to the run game. They're they're gonna let Pennis take a shots, but it's gonna be predicated on running the football. First three, Kyron Williams going up against Arizona. He's got touchdowns four of his last five, three one hundred yard games during that time. Arizona another team like San Francisco. What's left Dan? But the last fall so. Fourth, Jonathan Taylor gave us a big two eighteen and three. He's got ninety six or more rushing yards three straight games. New York Giants third, ninth most allowed over the last four weeks, ninth most so an opportunity there. And number five. I told you, mister Gibbs Woody back. If nothing else, I may have watched Pirates of the Caribbean or gone on.

Either way, Jamiir Gibbs gets to go in first one hundred yard game last week. It was his first since Week eight, multiple receptions five straight, and San Francisco played out the string tenth most Fantasy points allowed to running backs over the last.

All right, we started off with Jamar Chase. Let's pair him up with number one Joe Burrow. Five or more receptions every week since Week five, seventy five plus receiving yards, six straight tds five or six. Do I need to go on just absolutely murdering it right now? And they're still alive in the hunt. I'm on ross A Brown going up against San Francisco touchdowns back to back weeks. Yeah, he's had a number of games with fewer than sixty receiving yards, but we're looking at five or more receptions eighth straight, So we'll take the easy bonus.

And they're still alive in the hunt. I'm on ross A Brown going up against San Francisco touchdowns back to back weeks. Yeah, he's had a number of games with fewer than sixty receiving yards, but we're looking at five or more receptions eighth straight, So we'll take the easy bonus.

Points and move on.

Points and move on.

Pooka Nakua against Arizona, five or more receptions, seven straight for him, ninety seven or more receiving yards and five of them again, Arizona, What do you got left? Brian Thomas Junior? Because you know, I just want to celebrate something good, excellent. Why not seventy six or more, five straight, thirty six receptions in his last five games going up against the Tennessee squad that's been fairly solid against the pass all year long. But look, mac Jones just knows get the ball up to the kid and let him go get it. And finally, you know, I split hairs, like part of me wants that. Justin Jefferson against the Packers. Looking what he's done over these last weeks, seven, seven, seven, ten, I mean we're rolling sevens.

All over the place.

All over the place.

Yeah, two hundred and thirty receiving yards or more twice during this period. Yeah, we'll give him the nod over Mike Evans, who gets an honorable mention against Carolina, because I've had a number of questions about him this week. So thanks for listening, folks, thirty one receptions over his last five and trying to get him back to one thousand yards. Oh, by the way, the pesky division win still needs to run through the Mayfield and Evans combination.

Let's go to bo Nicks and going up against Cincinnati two sixty three and two, going up against the Chargers and then it all bogged down but multiple touchdowns and five of his last six games. I know Cincinnati has been surging of late eighth best against quarterbacks these last four, but upgoing season long, I'm looking at him to make plays with his legs and create some chaos. Matthew Stafford going up against Arizona back to back quiet games two sixteen and zero touchdowns their first meet, but Arizona seventh most allowed to fantasy quarterbacks over the last four and before his two games stretch against the forty nine Ers and Jets, Stafford had gone thrown multiple touchdown passes in six to seven games. I'm looking for him to end the year strong. Chase Brown going up against Denver eighty six or more yards four of his last five with four touchdowns. Denver amid rushing deef It's given about ninety one total yards per game with a touchdown per so we get an opportunity there. Devon eight Chan going up against Cleveland and ninety total yards against San Francisco. He's got touchdowns in seven of his last nine games. That's what I'm banking on. Opportunity from point in blank range once again, even though you're looking at Cleveland that's been strong this last month, getting passed on a bit, but the run game against running backs been pretty strong. Chuba Hubbard going up against Tampa one hundred and fifty two and two against Arizona only twelve for forty three in their first meeting, befeeding the ball. They're playing better football down the stretch, little more balanced opportunity guy I have listed, but I've got a giant riddler like question mark but all over him, and that's DeVante Adams touchdowns and four straight games five or more receptions.

I mean, he's got a streak rolling on here.

I mean, he's got a streak rolling on here.

And you look at over the last four Buffalo and they're they're giving up points, right, They're giving up opportunities. We've seen it weekend week out. Obviously, the injury status is there a lot of speculation of operations shut down. I don't think he goes into the good night unless old number eight does too. But this is one the hang a star on towards game day, Lad McConkie going against New England five or more receptions five straight games. Look, you do run the numbers and take a look at what the Patriots have done against wide receivers. They're the best in the game over the last four weeks. I'm just banking on some PPR love here to get you over and maybe one with a bit of yak, which is what we've seen Bucky Irving. We'd be remiss if we didn't at least give him a little bit of a nod given what he's meant to fantasy owners over the year, and now he gets to take you to championship mode against Carolina.

Man, he was a guy that I saw and you know, again we've talked about it, we'll probably talk about it at the end of the year. But I underestimated the value of one Bucky Irving with the Buccaneers, you know, and the other thing with DeVante Adams. And I think it's a legitimate reason. With the question mark, it looked like Aaron Rodgers was going to leave the game against the Rams in Week sixteen, you know, with his injuries and what he's dealing with, and at some point if they're getting you know, blasted by the Bills, which the Bills with a win then can wrap up that two seed and not have to worry about anything else and get maybe a week off before they play that finale against New England. Yeah, I could be interesting to see and what the Jets do in that situation definitely something to monitor. Let's get to the cold source, Mike, the guys you got to keep out of your lineups. You don't want to see, you don't want to touch, you don't want anything to do with. In Week seventeen, Jordan Love right off the jump. Why because I like chaos.

Even though he's gone five straight games without an interception, congratulations for multiple touchdown games in the last six. This is one where you're talking about one of the top defenses in football. They'll blitz him, they'll get after him and create a bit of chaos. So we'll see how the Green Bay offense adapts. So I'm staying away from this one to going up against Cleveland back to back, quiet weeks for him. You've got a middling Cleveland defense given about seventeen fantasy points per game, but we've ridden that roller coaster all year long. I'm not expecting a crest in Championship week on the road because you know what, Dan, It'll be cold.

So while all of them can talk about how it doesn't matter, there's a reason that.

All of the the.

Touts and all of the prognosticators bring up the weather so frequently it matters Breeshall going up against Buffalo. I take Caim and I take Garrett Wilson to other because I'm not banking on on a huge number. I mean, you're looking at eighty or more rushing yards for all year, eighty or less in all but one game, which is just insane.

Now, sunk me in a guillotine league, you know. So, yeah, it's not been good.

Now, sunk me in a guillotine league, you know. So, yeah, it's not been good.

There you go like him, No, just agreed, Let's just send Let's just send him to fantasy hell, fantasy jail for the year. But take along with him Garrett Wilson. Right, you've had this massive run up from Aaron Rodgers. He played pretty good football the second half of the season. Quietly everybody, you know, the speculation obviously he's doing all his media appearances and throwing stuff up in the air about teenagers and whatever else. He's actually played some pretty good football. But you're looking at Garrett Wilson one touchdown in six, a lot of speculation that he's salty about his spot and wants out, and in these last six games he's only gone over sixty receiving yards once. I'm not banking on a re peak performance here. How about Aaron Jones going back at Green Bay touchdowns three of his last five. You know, you're looking at his first one hundred yard game since Week three, and there's been some pretty good moments along the way. This one forty eight and a half is an interesting number. So the fact that I've got cold sores in it is like just trying to read the tea leave. Maybe it's just hate of the rest of the NFC North. I don't know Dan, but Jones a guy. I mean, he's still going to be a mid to back back in RB two, I would just temper the expectations against the Green Bay d that's been really good.

That game is gonna be off the charts good, you know, for as much as I want to complain again about that being a two game window. And by the way, in Cleveland, you may have to worry more about rain than actual snow of anything. But still to worry about. But that Vikings Packers game at US Bank is going to be a dandy coming up on Sunday.

Last I saw Packers the the narrow one point favorite on the road. So no respect for the cruising or seemingly cruising home team. Ramadre Stevenson because we don't mention him often enough. I first touchdown since Week nine, his last game of eighty or more rushing yards week five going against Chargers D.

I first touchdown since Week nine, his last game of eighty or more rushing yards week five going against Chargers D.

We did mention him in the last pot because that was the guy that I had stock and remember that was oh yeah, that was the one there. I'm like, hey, I looked you know the way that I the way the Patriots dealt with him in the off season, signing him to that deal. Let's young quarterback, let's grind it out. Yeah it did not happen.

We're gonna get your twenty five touches a game. Let's go. You're guy, And.

We're gonna get your twenty five touches a game. Let's go. You're guy, And.

By the way, if you missed game one on Saturday morning with the Patriots and Chargers, don't worry about it. You know you're good with us. All right, Let's get to the Ninjas. Okay, yeah, let's get to the Ninjas for that.

Yeah, Ninjas for the week.

Brock Perdy going up against Detroit, just looking for a little bit of chaos while the team as a homemade quit. He's got a lot of people watch his every move in Detroit with Buffalo two of the worst past defenses fantasy wise against quarterbacks of late. Mac Jones going up against Tennessee two hundred and twenty eight passing yards are more four straight, which actually in twenty four is a feat in the National Football League, believe it or not, not just for him, but in general. I'm seeing a lot of high one hundreds in people's game logs. Two multi touchdown games during this streak, by the way, first meeting two hundred twenty yards in a couple of interceptions. But you're looking at a Tennessee defense give they take away about eighteen points per game, six interceptions, seven touchdowns in the last four.

Vidal Gus Edwards has been shelved for the game against New England. You do have the expectation that JK. Dobbins is back in some form, But are you gonna bring him off ir and immediately give him thirty carries?

So Vadal twenty carries over his life, I think there's an opportunity here, more so for your daily you know, dollar play for daily Fantasy, and only in acts of sheer desperation in your straight league, because if you end up winning a league because he goes off, then you're gonna be spiking on folks at.

How about tad Jay Spears going up at Jacksonville back to back double digit touch games for him with three touchdowns thirteen receptions over the last three That's where I'm looking for him to make some noise. Jalen McMillan, we've talked about a lot. Fourteen receptions, four touchdowns in his last three games. He'll be active once again. Price shot on Marvin Mims to tie him up with bo Nix over there in the hot plays three or more receptions for straight games. And then finally, we don't know about Malik Neighbors. One of our usual suspects early on in the year, Dan so wan Dale Robinson fifteen catches get this, thirty two targets in the last three weeks.

I'll take my screen pass one for four yards and just multiply that a few times.

By the way, if and this is no offense to Vidal or Spears or McMillan, but if you win your fantasy league because of those guys, I think you have to get their jersey. Like that has to happen. Yeah, I mean, like you don't have to do it if it's Jamar Chase or Justin Jefferson or Saquon Barkley. But if it's Vidal or Spears and they go off and they give you the title, I think it's only fitting that you at least contribute to their the little portion that they would get from jersey sales.

And to make sure that you send your screenshots of your team rosters along, I'll find a trading card of them. Yeah, that'll be my reminder, so you could put it up on your board as you go back to the draft draft rooms of next fall.

That is one of the neat things we've seen, you know, when one NFL team beats another NFL team to allow that other NFL team to get into the playoffs. You know, like when the Bengals beat the Ravens that year to end the Bills playoff drought, and then all the Buffalo fans were sending money to Andy Dalton's charity. Oh yeah, that season. You know a lot of different things. You could do the same thing fantasy wise. I know people will suggest that at time or two. Or you could just be like me and be greedy and keep it all yourself. That's all. Whatever way you want to.

Plus I'll try to give you some information as well as we wrap up our entering championship week. We know there's some championship go two weeks and something that go week eighteen, but for the most part, this is where the winning happens. And we'll have more for you next right here, and I want your flex all right, let's get to the streaming defenses. Mike do you want to do the honors with Ian's infall or sure?

All right, let's get to uh, let's get to Ian's streaming defenses for the week.

All right, Well, we're gonna go to the Chargers first fifty five roster. They're a four point road favorite at New England. That's my editorialism. Forty two and a half is your total. You're looking at one of the best defenses in the NFL for weeks. Right, for the entire season, we've watched them in terms of points allowed being dingy. While Drake May is good for a rookie quarterbacks, no weapons and the terrible offensive line. He's on a seven game interception streak, so opportunity there, and they've topped out at twenty five points scored since May took over in Week six, like that's their their max. So opportunity here for the Chargers d I would agree with them. I think right, we're looking at an offensive line that should be under duress, Chargers still playing for stuff. I did like the Harbaugh quote from earlier on Thursday talking about, hey, they got blood pumping through and he goes, I'm not a doctor, so I probably got all the biology wrong. But the whole point is they're football players. It may be cold, get over it.

Yeah, it's football, That's what it is. What it is people.

Yeah, it's football, That's what it is. What it is people.

Exactly who's got it better than us?

Yeah? Unfortunately nobody really Chargers. Yes, I am right, all right.

Yeah? Unfortunately nobody really Chargers. Yes, I am right, all right.

The other streaming defense, he raises up. This one's a bit of a price shot. So ready for it. Ready, wait for it, Wait for it. The Las Vegas Raiders one and a half point favorites. The last I looked on the road at New Orleans is the Vegas given points to anybody?

The Saints are just coming out of the shutout by the Packers, right the first of twenty twenty four. You and I got to be on air together at Fox Sports Radio for that historic moment. He just comes back over the top. They're playing against the Saints twelve rosters. Kamara's questionable to play, but he's probably gonna be sidelined, saying, since it would make they've got nothing to play for, so makes sense to keep him sidelined at this point, which leaves them devoid of true playmakers. And now I'm extrapolating. He gave us some very very yes, sparse notes on this one, just saying more or less I'm reading the link and says the Saints are not good.

Kamara's questionable to play, but he's probably gonna be sidelined, saying, since it would make they've got nothing to play for, so makes sense to keep him sidelined at this point, which leaves them devoid of true playmakers. And now I'm extrapolating. He gave us some very very yes, sparse notes on this one, just saying more or less I'm reading the link and says the Saints are not good.

I was gonna say, if you're in a championship game and you want to stream the Raiders, more power to you. Like like that, that's gonna be your prerogative. That's what you're going to live by. Go right ahead.

Wait, I got to look it up though. Right as we're sitting here, it's late on Thursday. Obviously, depending on how you do your rankings, a lot of folks putting them in early, right the quote, experts, analysts, whatever. Sometimes you know it's day to day, right, Yeah, this waiting on injury reports and you make the adjustments to kind of show the strength or weakness of what you think of those first early matchups. So as of right now, the Raiders are ranked seventh for the week by need okay, by the entirety of the industry. And this is well, it says thirty thirty one people out of one hundred available. So this is the consensus that it gave me, and maybe I have to pay for.

More and more our thoughts decent little you know snapshot.

Hey, it's a it's a viable, viable statistical yeah you know category here because we've got more than thirty in our sample size. So it's Indianapolis at the top against the Giants, Miami at Cleveland, Philly at versus Dallas at home, Chargers at New England. So number four, number seven are Ian's picked here. Number five was the Seahawks tonight against the Bears, number six Buffalo versus the Jets, and number seven.

The Las Vegas Raiders. No there it is, so wow, how about that?

All right? Ian good good, good work.

But yeah, so with no Max Crosby, hell yeah, it's gutsy.

But yeah, so with no Max Crosby, hell yeah, it's gutsy.

Plus that means you're probably keeping an eye on Saints Raiders on Sunday. Again. With such a limited schedule, I guess things could be worse. I don't know if that's really the case.

It's only twenty nine remaining.

It's only twenty nine remaining.

Yes, that's true. Well, I'll tell you in a similar similar boat with survivor pools. It's funny the circa survivor pool. You know, that's like fourteen million dollars there are I believe thirty five entries remaining. So Week seventeen is a double pick week where they have double picked the first three games, and now you go into the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be a separate pick. You had forty five entries entering the week, and twenty pick the Seahawks, eleven picked the Ravens, six pick the Bears, four pick the Steelers, three pick the Chiefs, and one pick the Texans. So eleven dropped out, so that leaves thirty four left for the remaining schedule. And I would think that a bunch are either going to be on the Titans or Jaguars, where you wouldn't have those selections, And I'm signing with the Jaguars in this one just because they're at home. I actually think Tennessee's person now probably plays a little bit better, but I'm going to give the Jaguars the home nod for my Survivor pick, Mike, My points of Palooza is going to be Sunday Night Football, Falcons Commanders. Let's see Michael Pennix kind of open up in this rookie quarterback battle, have a little bit more more fun. I know it's probably behooves the Falcons to give you a lot of Bijon and give you a lot of Tyler l gear, But I still think there's gonna be some points. Washington gives them up. We've seen saw it last week against the Eagles, even with Kenny Pickett in the game. So let's see if Let's see if that ends up becoming the points of Palosa. The highest point total for the over unders this week was forty nine Ers and Lions heading into this one, and so points of Bealoza that I try to pick is usually not the top overall. So we're going to go a little less with the Falcons and Commanders right now at forty seven and a half.

Oh I dig that.

Oh I dig that.

Yeah, Wait, that's the game. I love the fact that over the last few days and throughout the week able to lean into the advertising again. We don't get caught up in a ton of it, Dan, but that they're able to really showcase. Hey, Jayden Daniels, right, first Sunday night football game, you gotta we gotta want to see this. You gotta watch what this kid's doing. Because we had that lull in the middle of the season. I was like, oh, it's another second half Kingsbury job. And you know, as we talked about in the top five, four straight multiple touchdown, winging the ball around Terry McLaurin his opportunities, I want to say he's twenty sixth, right, I was going to make mention of that in the in the rankings and all twenty sixth in terms of chances. He's got twelve touchdowns, So he's making the most of the opportunities and he's showing out. And Daniels, you know, has been unflappable. You can say a lot, you know, over the course of the year, and I know all the you know, I'm gonna do the all twenty two kind of die, you know, diet tribes and whatever else, and the kid just keeps getting up and that's all and that's all you can ask for. So in this one against Pennix, Pennix, Wreck has to recognize what's here too, right, you got a playoff opportunity and you got a national stage to go and wing it around and go big arm for big arms. So yeah, forty eight and a half in the total is what i'd seen. But forty seven and a half maybe earlier in the week where or later maybe I was just too early on it. But you got another forty eight Green Bay, Minnesota. You got another forty eight and a half Carolina Tampa, which is insane.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, forty nine and a half with Denver Cincinnati, and then the fifty and a half with Detroit and San Francisco.

Yeah, forty nine and a half with Denver Cincinnati, and then the fifty and a half with Detroit and San Francisco.

Yeah, there's a couple others in the high thirties and all. But for Fantasy Championship.

Yeah, there's a couple others in the high thirties and all. But for Fantasy Championship.

Week, I think you got a slate that he I mean, you may not love the matchups, you know, at least looking at the eye test and going nih but Vegas is telling you we're gonna get some big point totals for your fantasy rosters. So it may it'll recover nicely from what we saw on Thursday.

Night on our Oasis Pick of the Week. I have tried to hold off on the big hits, the big songs until it's appropriate, and my use of Wonderwall was perfect because it was Josh Allen in the week that he had six touchdowns, So I was very very fulfilled with that. Mike. You actually, I guess confirmed my original thought. My Champagne Supernova, who I've kept for Week seventeen because it's Championship week and if you win, you're going to be popping Champagne Pooka Nakua wide receiver Los Angeles Rams.
