Speaker 1

Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now along with the guys from fanball dot com. Here's the host for Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul. I am Paul Charchy in my co host today, I'm Fantasy Football Weekly is Scott Fish. It's your first time in the off season? Yes, first off season show? Was it was? It awesome having

a month off? It was it was. It didn't feel like a month off, but it definitely was. Yeah. You know, don't have to prep for the show, and so I'm expecting to bring a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. You do do it all right? Yeah, And it's a super Bowl edition, the first of two, So first of two Super Bowls, first of two Fantasy Football Weeklies for the Super Bowls, and um, then we'll have to figure out all the things we're gonna talk about in the offseason.

There's enough, you know, I think when when it's you and I, I'm I mostly want to talk about gameplay variations because you are I think you and I are as as excited by different ways to play as anybody in the industry pretty much. So, um, I think that will be a lot. A lot of the folkus to say is we are both pioneers in that field. Well, I don't know, maybe, but there's lots of stuff throwing off season February, there's combine March, there's free agency starts

new league year April, there's the Draft. We got tons of stuff. I'll be at the combine, so we'll have a report back from the combine for sure. Niners take on? Do you do you hear Niners taken on the Chiefs in the Super Bowl? Interesting? Yeah, I have not heard yet. This is this should be exciting to hear somebody made a fifteen to one bet on the Niners last March.

Is that somebody saying in the room with me that tickets paying for my return earned trip to Las Vegas on one of those places where you can do anymore. I don't know. It was very important distinction. It was Niners to make the Super Bowl, So I mean cashing yet, but I'm flying to Vegas next week to cash it. I'm gonna be there for the Super Bowl now and it's gonna pay for the trip, which is great. The somebody gave me great advice once. Never bet to win

the super Bowl. Always bet to make the super Bowl. Here's why the odds double. So in the case of my bet, it was fifteen to one to make the super Bowl, thirty to one to win the super Bowl. Here's why I cash out my fifteen to one to make it right. Let's just say it was a bet so that if I still love the Niners, I can roll the whole fifteen over, roll it into a super

Bowl bet and make my three grant. If I don't think the Niners are gonna win, I just made my money and I don't have to make I don't have to have any more risks. That's the way to like it. Um, let's talk Niners in chiefs. Let's break down the game a little bit. By the way, I think this is

the best possible Super Bowl. UM, with all due respect to the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, which would have been great, But Patrick Mahomes is more ready to win a super Bowl and more ready to make it a great game, I think than Lamar Jacksons, and too too extremely good like he's you can almost say he's peaking right now. Patrick Mahomes. The last two games has looked just just unreal. I believe over three hundred and both. Uh I think last week, okay, so averaging over I'll go there. Then.

Uh yeah, I had had the huge run last week. It just seems like he's peaking at the right time.

And it really does just everything's come together for Patrick Mahomes. Um, if we just talk about the clearest avenues to victory for these two teams, I mean, clearly for the Chiefs, it's um, you get ahead early, you take the running game away from the forty nine, which is very possible, right, Patrick Homes can get a they haven't the last two games, and they but they did take away Derrick Henry last week and are substantially better defense than the last two

weeks for the no kidding, not close. Um. And then you make Jimmy Garoppolo go win the game, right and you know, and I'm not saying he can't. Garoppolo could that passing game could win What is the three? Is the starter or something like that? Jimm Garoppolo and and he and and people don't realize this. And I'm gonna steal the step from my clay Jimmy Garoppolo average twent nine pass attempts per game during the season. It's not

like he can't throw. He just didn't need to last week, and and he threw a lot in the early goings of the season to win games. He did he did. Now for the Niners, it's kind of the opposite. They're easy. Path to victory is just keep running the ball to keep Patrick Mahomes on the sidelines and keep your defense fresh, and you run your way to victory, just like they did the last two weeks. Um, both are very plausible, Um, Coleman, we we still don't know. They expect him to play.

But even if even if, even if they don't, that's exactly what I was And even if they don't, Shanahan schemes so well that it'll be, you know, a little extra bread or a little like some news check players or whatever, like he'll figure it out. Yeah. Um, I do think one of the fascinating elements because the Niners have had these early leads and haven't had to pass, there's huge portions of the playbook that they haven't had

to use for for the whole playoffs. On the flip side, the Chiefs haven't seen it recently to prep for it, right, A lot of truth of that, um, And so I think there's a you know, I think there's a sneaky advantage for the Niners in that they've just been able to coast their way and just run, just run the ball to these victories. Had an easy, easy path, there's no question, no offense to But now I agree this

is it. And honestly, Chiefs path wasn't all that hard either, have to get through Baltimore, So you know, yeah, all right, anyway, let's let's start here from a fantasy standpoints. You break down these games. Scott Niners running game, let's let's talk about them and the Chiefs run defense Niners, and with historic playoff performances. Through the two games, they're averaging forty one rushing attempts. By the way, this is just the running backs. I'm not even including any I'm not including

any quarterback runs. Forty one rushing attempts, two hundred thirty six rushing yards, and five point eight yards per carre. I was just gonna say that's nearly six yards per carrying my mental math, that's insane, it's insane, um. But that's what Moister was doing. Like all year or two, which is the crazy thing. It's insane, and it's you

think it's not sustainable, but he's sustainable. You know. The funny thing is he's higher than the five point eight yards per car So here's where he most dits average games since week thirteen when he became the lead back to the forty nine. And we talked a lot during this show during the playoffs and how the fantasy playoffs

and how he was crushing these fantasy playoff leagues. His average game UH since week thirteen six point three yards per carry for him posted fifteen carries hundred four yards and one and a half touchdowns per game per game. That's pretty ridiculous. It is pretty ridiculous that one and a half touchdowns is buoyed by last week a little bit, but it is um But you know, also there was

the against the Vikings. It was mostly Tevin Coleman and so you know, which I think is less of an indictment on where he Morris and more that the Niners never felt like the Vikings were a threat, and so they were like, let's give let's give the fresh legs of of Tevin Coleman a long run in this game. Yeah, I can easily see that, and maybe they should have gave it given him less of an um. Now, the

Chiefs obviously halted Derrick Henry last week. Nineteen carries for sixty nine yards and three points six yards per carry. That's it. So the Chiefs really can play run defense. And not only that, but this was a Chief's run defense that was a liability for September, October, November. But really from December four ward, here's what the Chiefs are giving up per game on the ground. Three point eight yards per carry seems good. Zero point seven rushing touchdowns

per game, that's it. Yeah, so they've been able to really turn around their run defense. Yeah. Well, and that's that's really what the fos bread and butter is right now, that which just makes up for a great matchup because the past defense has been top six all year in several categories. Yeah. So I think from a just a fantasy standpoint here where he moster to me feels if we're doing our letter grades, he's a B grade for me because the Chiefs run defense is improved enough that

I can't count on him. I don't think Tevin Coleman, even if he's active for this game. I don't trust him to have a major role in this game I have I would put a bench grade on him, and if Coleman is out, I put a C grade on Matt Brita. How does that feel to you? That feels about right? So I'm getting the vibe from you. You think that this is an under game, This is not going to hit over. Get this. I just read this today of the money is on the over. It's moved

from fifty two to fifty four. The Vegas. Vegas builds casinos on sports, better losses. If I want to be on the casino side, I go under. Now the super Bowls have gone over. Somebody emailed me this today. Well, I was on the air in cafe. An super Bowl has gone over thirteen of the last fifteen Super Bowls. Yeah, that feels right. It just it feels like a lot of high school wins. Do you get kind of like a like, uh, do you remember when the the Seahawks

took on Peyton Manning's Broncos? Was it and the Broncos just offense offense offense and Seahawks great defense? Do you get the kind of super Bowl it was? It was Broncos and Cam Newton and the Panthers. Panthers, Yeah, do you get that kind of vibe from it? The super offense and really good defense and now maybe they neutralize or defense wins. I don't, Scott, for the first time in my adult life, I don't know who's going to win this game. I really don't. It's at one point spread,

you know, I don't know. I'm paid to have opinions on this stuff. I don't know. You know, right now, eight days, nine days invented from them it was gonna win. I am thinking of the Manning Seahawks two thousand fourteen Super Bowl, the one where the Seahawks had the best defense in the league, the Legion of Boot and they got a safety on the first play. That's right, That's that's on. I'm wondering, Van, it's kind of attractive to

think about if the defense wins that battle. Well, And actually, there's two good defenses on the field, and there's one great offense and one good offense. So alright, let's talk about the Niners passing game. Is Jimmy Garoppolo ready for this moment? Do you think this moment? Well, he's got two Super Bowl rings he does. I've got that. It's got two super Bowl rings. Yeah, it's not like he's never been a part of the lead up to the super Bowl. Is not of feel um. We had um.

We had John Sullivan on the radio with me today and he was the he was the Rams Center. Last hear that. And you know, the chaos that leads up to the super Bowl, it's a massive distraction and it's unlike anything you've done in any week prior to that. So the fact that Garoppolo can come in with the experience of having been through all of that, although not not as a spotlight player, but still having gone through it, I think I think there is some value to that.

He's always had this cool, calm collected vibe, Like even when he took over the starting job in San Francisco, they would have those like Mike David's of him just just being cool and calm collected no matter what the situation down in late in the fourth it's just it doesn't matter to him. I think, I think you're right about that, And um, I don't. I don't. I don't worry about the moment being too big for at all, even though it's you know, he's younger and he has

less playoff experience. UM, but I think he's excited for it. I'm sure, I'm sure he is. But he's just He's just always been up for every single big moment throughout his career. So I'm not worried about my homes alright. So back to the Niners passing game here. UM. Garoppolo has barely passed in the two playoff wins. As you know, we talked about the running. The Niners have run the ball eighty one times. He's thrown seven passes against two games,

less than his season average in two games. Isn't that nuts? Um? Niners? Um? Well, as I mentioned, they've kept a lot of their playbook under wraps, which I think does give Garoppolo a bit of an intangible advantage. His average passing game since Week eight, so basically second half of the season has been two thirty eight yards, which is very low. One almost two touchdowns, which is the Vegas over under on him. Is like,

funny how that works? It's not a coincidence, I'm sure, Um, almost two touchdowns, half an interception of real high completion percentage of sixty which is great, um, and a pass rating of a hundred three. That's those pretty good numbers, but they're not they're not massive fantasy numbers. Yeah. Yeah, he's always had that where his touchdowns, but even his touchdown the interception ratio is not that great over his career. He's he's not the fantasy stalwart we kind of hoped

he would be. That's Patrick Mahomes. That's Patrick Mahomes right exactly. The Chiefs allowed the fewest yards to wide receivers this year, which is a stunning turn around from the year before.

I remember, I remember that as we were leading up late into the season that they were like middle of the pack for a while, and then it just was like they were one of the best and not allowing very many touchdowns at all, which No and fifth fewest, fifth fewest touchdowns wide receivers, in the fewest yards to wide receivers. So I'm I don't particularly a good thing. They're playing a team that doesn't, you know, has middling wide receivers. How are they on tight ends? Charge We'll

get to that second. Uh Deebo Samuel runs sixty percent of his routes from the left or the slot, which puts him against Brushod Perriman and h Or and Kendall Fuller, respectively, both have been pretty good. Breeland has been terrific in the playoffs. He's allowed two completions on seven passes into his coverage. Fuller's allowed one touchdown in his last eleven games. So Deebo Samuel has been a nice spark plug for them. Um,

this might not be the key. Who's going to get it for the passing game on the four nine uh, Emmanuel Sanders will run from the slot. He's also used more often than that on the outside and he's on the right side. He'll see a lot of chart various West Who's the best Chiefs cornerback? He's been actually pretty great. He's allowed two scores all year and one since Week four. That's it. That's that's very little for all of those That's that's what That's what it takes to be the

number one pasteven. Not giving up a lot of touchdowns helps ups a lot. So then let's get to Kittle, Who's I think about to be on in this He has to if they want to win this game. He has to be sparingly used as a receiver. He loses a lot as a blocker in the in the playoffs so far. Against Minnesota, Kittle was just three catches sixteen yards. Against Green Bay one catch eighteen yards. Killed The DFS

players killed them. Um he gets he gets targeted on a whopping twenty six percent of his routes run, which is great. So when he does run routes, there's a huge high percentage that he's going to get the ball. Kansas City ranks. Here's Kansas City's ranks against tight ends yards allowed twenty six sorry nine third or fourth worst receptions allowed to tight ends thirty first by the Chiefs.

Here comes George freaking Kittle. I think they are gonna I think for all those passes he didn't get the last the last two weeks, they're common baby, and and I unfortunately agree with the public money on the over, well least when it was fifty two and a half. I guess it's at fifty four now. So but I I feel, I feel a lot of shootout in this battle. I wonder what kiddles if you have you've got your

computer in front of you. Seventy point five five point five receptions is his and then seventy point five yards, so he's had sixteen yards in nineteen yards and they've set the line at seventy. Yeah. And and he had top seventy and three straight prior to those two games, which doesn't surprise me. Now he Kittle draws a fascinating matchup with Tyrone Matthew. I mean, Matthew has been awesome, It's been awesome for years. Yep. But Kelsey's got four

inches and fifty pounds on him. Um. Matthews super physical, isn't afraid to get his jersey dirty. He had eighty two tackles this year. Yeah, Matthew did. Yeah, and a fantastic pass defender. He hasn't allowed a touchdown in fourteen game. He's a prepper too, does so much prep work. That's why he's I think that's a big part of it. They've got to know he's coming. The passer rating against Matthew sixty eight. Sixty eight is the passer rating. It's unbelievable.

It's it's very low. Uh. Kittles an elite blocking tight end, but that we're not going to get fantasy points for that. I still think at the end of the day, I think the volume is coming. They just have to get this. They can't depend on Kendricks like they can't know. I think that, and it's some in some point in this game, unlike the last two games, they're going to have to complete some passes to Kettle. I think they're just not

gonna I just don't think the Niners, You're not. They're not gonna keep Andy Reid's offense to like nineteen points. This is an offense that average twenty nine game or something game. Um And if you think that they're going to throw the kittle seven times eight times, no, this he catches of the balls throwing his way. So if you think he's gonna get seven catches, if it's seven targets, there's six catches. And you think he's gonna get ten targets,

there's eight catches. I think we're on the same page. Kittles. Kittles in for a big game here. I don't I don't know how much I can trust the other receiver. Give me a letter grade on Kittle, I'd give him an all right. How about the receivers benchable? I mean Sanders maybe a seed, but I'd probably bench them all, even Deebo Samuel. I know it's I don't love the matchups, but Samuel has been awfully good. Yeah, but he has

also been hit and miss at times. Deebo Samuel's over under his fifty four point five, which feels fair given the last couple of weeks. He's he's caught some balls and he's been very aggressive in pushing downfield when he gets them. Not deep speed downfield. I'm talking about, you know, catching the ball and then turning up field with him and fighting tackles. Makes sense. Um, Alright, So that's uh, that is the San Francisco side. When we come back,

we'll break down the Chiefs side of the ball. This is the more fascinating offense side, the more fascinating fantasy side. We'll be back in moments with more fantasy football weekly. All Right, We're back, Paul Charge and Scott Fish breaking down the Super Bowl fantasy style you know, next week. And I'm not sure who's with me next week. Maybe

it's you. I think it might be Matt Weeps or something. Yeah, you know, we'll we'll go back and touch on anything that we think has changed from this um and then I think we will talk some props. We just talked about most or we don't know about Baby Coleman's we know more at that time. When Coleman is on the cart last week, I wasn't feeling real good about most it's over under his seventy five total yards. Right now, it's a pretty good line because it makes me good line.

It really does make me think, that's totally hard. I'm nervous. I'm nervous about that. Okay, let's go to the cheap side. Uh, let's start with a rushing attack, which is less interesting. We'll save the best for last. Patrick problems. Damien Williams has gotten twenty nine of thirty running back handoffs when he's the lead back. He's the lead back, that's and that's when he's healthy, basically. Um, but get this, he's running these are they in the playoffs? He's run for

three point two yards per carry. That's not great, Bob, That isn't good. Now. Tennessee is a good run defense, so and looking at those runs, he didn't leave really many, if any yards on the table. He was maximizing what he could against Tennessee, which in the just it just wasn't there. Houston is not a great run defense. I expected Martin. Now, he was very good through the air against those against both teams as a as an important part of the passing game. Get this, Niners are so

good against receiving running backs. Hang on, here's my numbers on that. So Williams through the air, his over under the Vegas over under, his three point five receptions, which seems really high, and thirty point five yards through the air for Damian Williams. Yeah, in receiving for Davian Wiyiams. Well, here's your stats. You'rer relevant shorts for you. Um, this is in the regular season. I just have time to add in the playoffs and the regular season, san Francisco allowed.

It allowed the third fewest running back receptions, the second fewest running back yards, and zero touchdowns through the air to running backs. It's not a great manager for his Damian Williams to me, is a C grade runner here. San Francisco ranked eighth and rushing yards allowed in the regular season, third in rushing touchdowns allowed. They limited Aaron Jones to fifty six rushing yards and they helped Alvin

Cook eighteen. I think you should be putting Williams in the same boat as moster in this game, where with probably a C grade, you know, seventy to nine seventy to eighty yards. Maybe hope they got most rolling into this game. It's six half yards per carry and I got I got half of that from Damian Williams. Most most a soft be Williams is a C Almost exactly the same over under as far as total yards. Let's

go to the passing attack with the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes, as you alluded to at the beginning of the show, absolutely electric in these two games. UM. As a quick aside, he's the most talented quarterback I've ever seen based on what we've seen so far. Yep. I've heard this argument recently about some people are like, you know, I thought Rogers was the most just talent, you know, not you know, whatever measure you want, but just talent wise, arm talent wise.

A lot of people are on Rogers, and I think people are starting to flip to Mahomes, and I think I'm there too. You know, there's no there's nothing Mahomes doesn't do at an extraordinary level. If it's reading defenses, if it's arm strength, if it's UH catchable pass, if it's UM mobility snot Lamar Jackson be super mobile UM. If it's throwing on the run if it's improvisation, you know the crazy how did he do that? You know everything,

it's all there, there's nothing. He is not a an eight out of ten, nine out of ten, of ten out of tenet. It's one of those one of those where there's just no clear weakness, no weakness in his game. Um, all right, so that's you know what he's over under a touchdown passes in this game is no? So let point two point two point five? Ye? So? Um, so they're expecting at least two or three touchdowns from him. I don't know if I could place that bet either way.

The let's talk ma Holmes. Uh, He's thrown for eight touchdowns in the playoffs. Eight the game against Houston was just no interceptions. I can't think of an interception. Don't believe he has any interceptions. Niners were the number one past defense this season. So let's let's get to the

other side of the story here. Number one past defense this season, allowing a league low one nine passing yards per game, and better than that if you take out the month of December when the Niners were racked with injuries. They were missing four and five defensive starters. We just take that month's side, here's the average UM. If you take out the month of December, here's the average game the Niners gave up to opposing quarterbacks one hundred sixty

one passing yards nothing, zero point eight passing touchdowns. So they could give up double their average game to Patrick Mahomes. That would be a three yard game and one and a half touchdowns. And that's a bad game. They're gonna win. They'll win if that's all they give up to Patrick Mahomes is double what they give up to most quarterbacks. Now, it's starting to feel more and more like that defense five gonna take it home, UM, feeling like the under

as well. The two playoff games so far, the quarterbacks they faced for the Niners. Kirk Cousins obviously had a bad game, hundred seventy two yards, one touchdown, six sacks absorbed. Aaron Rodgers had the one long bomb to Davante Adams, which excused the numbers a little bit, but that got him up to three passing yards and two touchdowns, three sacks. Playing from behind garbage, a lot of it was garbage time, way way behind, and the long the long bomb to Adams.

He wasn't you know that's when the box score lies. UM, let's talk about the wide receivers. Tyreek Hill runs seventy of his routes naturally away from Richard Sherman's side of the field. They don't have to change his They don't have to change and doesn't have to change what they ask Tyreek Hill to do at all to just naturally have him avoid Richard Sherman. It's a big advantage. Yeah, Hill is going to get his in this game. I'm not worried about Hill. I'm more worried about the other receivers.

I think a lot of people, people, especially if you're playing DFS or whatever, are gonna possibly chase Watkins when they shouldn't. Well, see this puts Watkins and Watkins runs a lot from the slot too, but he runs slot and right. He'll run slot and left mostly Watkins versus Sherman. Dead dead, no thanks, no way. UM. I know there's gonna be a lot of people that are gonna remember that Davante Adams bomb that went right over Sherman. Um,

that's such an outlier. Sherman has been awesome this year. I don't know Adams and Watkins are such on the same level that exactly exactly. Um, alright, let's su and I don't think Robinson has been a disaster bunch of drops in the playoffs, and Nicole Hardman just they don't they don't use them enough. I heard somewhere recently that and I should have double checked this that Robinson hasn't had more than three targets like all year, or like that's in a game all year or something since we

since Hill came back, since Hill came back. Maybe maybe I thought it was since that big, huge week the weeks Watkins had the big Week one, Remember all the poor fantasy owners, Watkins has the giant Week one that does nothing on here. Then Robinson he'll go then he'll goes down. In week one, Robinson gets all this love and Week two and all these all this fab money comes in on Robinson a week two that he did

nothing for the rest of the year. And you can't even blame if fantasy owners who are following those things, because who doesn't want part of a passing attack, of a cheaps passing attack that doesn't go through Tyreek Hill anymore. We talked about it so many weeks, so many week Yeah, he's only he only topped three catches once since week too. That's what it was. Um, Yeah, we talked about so many weeks, were like should we pick up Nicole Hardman?

Should we pick up? And we could never pinpoint which was the right one. Nobody could. Let's talk Travis Kelsey, who can be a big difference in this game. The Niners have been oddly susceptible to tight ends. This is I'm giving you just some names of guys that have punished the Niners since Week ten. Tyler Higbee, Jared Cook, Mark Andrews, Jacob Hollister all second half of the season. You know, relatively recent tight ends that posted meaningful fantasy

games against them. I think the point is a lowed six or seven touchdowns to ten ends on the season and sounds right. Last week Jimmy Graham had a solid games and Jimmy Graham's not that good, but he rolled up four catches for fifty nine yards. I'll take that. I'll take that too. And by the way, think it was four targets four catches Kelsey had. He destroyed Houston two weeks ago, then was quiet last week. He had

a ten catch game against Houston two games ago. It's almost like fantasy championships, usually someone has kidl or Kelsey. I'm funny, and here we are talking about him. All right, Let's do some letter grades on members of the passing game. Tell me if still start here with Patrick Mahomes, what's the letter grade you'd give him? At Scott, I am still going with an A. I've seen Mahomes throw up three hundred yards on some of the best defenses the NFL over the last two years, so I'm still not

scared of it. His the Vegas over under, his three oh five two and a half three oh five yards and two and a half touchdowns, I think that's a fair line. I'm with Vegas there, and I think that's a decent fantasy day, So I'm giving him an A. Okay, Um, let's go to Tyreek Hill. Tyrek Hill, I'm still giving an A. Vegas over under on him is seventy nine and a half. I think that he's the kind of

guy that could break the game open. He's the kind of guy that and T. T Are said he's away from Shrman, but he's the kind of guy that it's just gonna take one play, and I think he's very likely to get it. And I I weirdly trust Andy Reid to be a little creative in this game. Well, I mean it's not weird, but I expect something creative, and that would probably mean Tyreek Hill all right, and any other of the wide receivers for the Chiefs even get anything other than a bench grade for you, Okay,

they're all up. Um. You know, if I were in if I were in Vegas and I'm looking for a shock prop, you know, Nicole Hardman is is tempting on something like first score of the game, where you could probably get you know, fifty two one, uh, because he's another guy like Tyreek Hill that can be just the game changing ability. He can turn a ten yard game, he can turn the Janiard pass into a seventy yard touchdown,

because yeah, that's basically what he is. He's like you're gonna getting you can get an ad R touchdown on or seven yard touchdown, or you can get zero catches. Yes, yeah I wanna. I know his line is twenty four and a half yards, but I wonder what some of those other lines for him, like scoring a touchdown or first score the games, because yeah, those could be uh

some pretty best. It's the best first score of the game I've ever hit, and I wonder what it looks like here in this game was Aaron Rodgers in here's about ten years ago a FC championship. I think it was here they won the Super Bowl, and I picked him to be first score the game and hit that one in Vegas at an f S T A conference and been a couple could have been the Giants one

and oh seven or oh maybe it was, I don't remember. Um, but quarterback, the Vegas always materially underappreciates rushing quarterbacks and quarterback rushing opportunity, and um right, it's not like you know, all you need is a goal to go from the one and here comes your quarterback rushing touchdown. So Garoppolo and even better mahmes, I'd love to I was gonna say, how many Garoppolo rushing touchdowns are? Not a lot? Probably

probably just a couple. Okay. So then last letter grade I'm looking for you from you is on Travis kiss An that that that's it's a weird thing to say with the Chiefs, that it's like three a's and then maybe you see for the running back and just nothing else. Yeah, but you still expect them to somehow put up thirty five points. You just can't trust or you know what, twenty nine points their average. Now you just can't trust those other options, even though one of them is bound

to do something. No, I think you're right. Um, I said earlier, at this stage, nine days out, I don't know who's going to win. Do you have a Do you have a lean or even a strong opinion on who will win this game? Nope, not at all. I have. I have gone back and forth so many times it's ridiculous. And people you're probably listening to this can tell I feel that way. Like I feel like Andy Reid's offense

is going to figure something out. And I I loved you know, if it's a battle an offensive shootout, I like the Chiefs. But that defense is so good that I can see queen either way. I defense is so good. It's it's it is, it's really. I'm excited for this game more than I have been in recent years for

for super Bowls. Like we said at the outset, this is the best possible super Bowl matchup, This is the most this is the best NFC team, that's the most interesting NFC team with the most different ways to win, and this is the most ready to win a f C team. The right team's got to the end, and that doesn't always happen. Didn't happen last year for that matter. You know, if you don't have to go back far to career rushing touchdowns for it. Yes, I hit it um and you know it at from the one yard line.

They'll still probably use their running backs because they do, and so you know, Garppol would be really a shot in the dark. But I bet Mahomes is if you see, if you can google this quickly, first player to score prop I bet Mahomes is one first player to score, first player to score, the first player to score. Let's see to see if you how quickly you can google that. Well, I've already got the touchdown props up. Let's see last touchdown score. Who cares about? Is weird? Alright? I got

it up and it's taking longer to fund than I thought. Well, it might not have been a reasonable request on demand. Yeah, I just think there's I just think there's an angle here. M m yeah, maybe not. Yeah, I'm not finding it, okay, alright, well it's not it's not a big deal. Maybe one of our listeners. We'll we'll tell us via Twitter. They can find you at Scott Fish twenty four at Scott

Fish four. I am at Paul Charchy and you can tweet us and let us know what is What is the Patrick Mahomes odds to be first player to score? And I don't know if they break that down by team or they just say in the game first player to score in the game is you know, and it could be players from either team or if it's first chief to score will be Patrick Mahomes. And I found it? Okay, all right? What is it? Plus two plus two thousands? Alright? One twenty two one on Patrick Mahomes will be the

first one to score? Most Yeah, plus five hundred plus six hundred? Do I like that? Bad? Oh? I like that? That's three Russian time touchdowns in his last seven games. How about that one? That's that's my new favorite bet of the super Bowl? Right there, Patrick Mahomes. And after this podcast, it'll be like tender one watch it move, Uh, Scott, great job today. I hope everybody that's one of the super Bowl. We'll be back one more time before the super Bowl, will recap some of this stuff, talk more
