Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez, Piza spitting statistician, holding you down. On a Thursday, we are less than ninety minutes away from the official kickoff of the NFL season. We got the Patriots and the Chiefs. Pats are eight and a

half point favorites at home tonight. I'll give you my pick for this game at the end of the show so you can win some cash. I told you we hope to be joined a little bit later on by Draftking CEO Jason Robbins. But before he gets on, it sounds like, as usual, the phone lines are lighting up for the Fantasy Freestyle. We got Josh in Wisconsin. He's got a little bit too much talent. He doesn't know

who to sit for Week one eight. Josh, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beats with speeds and spitting statistician. What's your question, man, it's what's going on? Baby? How are you doing? Doing good? Doing good? I had a couple of rapid fire questions for you right away. Sure, so I got my pen and paper. I'm ready. I like that. I like the nineties beats on the break dude, Um, real quick? White or mixing? Which White? Are we talking about?

Kevin White? James White? Three out of four questions for you, So James White or mixing? Um? Listen these Patriot running backs, man, it's real tough on a week to week basis to know which Patriots running back is gonna pop off as it James White, Gillies, Ley Burkehead, or even Dion Lewis. I'm taking a weight and see approach with the Patriots running backs. I think Joe Mixon is the guy dripping with upside and if you need to, you know, take a home run hit. I think Joe Mixon is the

one who could return you incredible value this week. I like like mixing now, James White could be the guy, but Bill Belichick has made a career about making fantasy football owners piste off. I stay away from the Patriots running backs. What's your other question? Man? Right on three out of four, it's a full point PPR. I got Diggs prior McCaffrey and Hunt. Digs prior McCaffrey and Hunt. You say right, and we're keeping three, we're casting aside.

One we're on and one off the island. Let me tell you something, um, and it's in a PPR league and that's important context. Okay. I like both of the wide outs in that situation. Okay, I think Stefon Diggs has the potential to get twelve thirteen targets in that game. And they're playing against the New Orleans Past defense, which is straight blunt, guts trash. It is do do. So I like Stefon Diggs there definitely. When it comes to Terrell Prior, I like t Rrell Prior in this situation.

I don't know if you heard, but the other wide receiver from Washington, Jamison Crowder, was just added to the injury report late in the week, just today with a hip issue. Okay, so that makes me like Prior even more so. Diggs and Prior are definitely in there. Okay. When it comes down to McCaffrey or Hunt, here's the thing. Here's the thing. I think Kareem Hunt. I think Kareem Hunt tonight is gonna get more of the share in Carolina. I love McCaffrey, but I think I'm gonna take a

minute to see how that how that settles. Also, they're trying to change the offense a little bit, cam Newton getting the ball out a little quicker. I think it's gonna be great for McCaffrey, but I want to see how that plays out. So I'm going Diggs, Prior and Kareem Hunt. Okay, And thank you for the shout out on our beach. You are welcome to call act anytime. My man. All right, it sounds like though we do in fact have Jason Robbins on the launch. Jason is

the CEO of DraftKings. Thank you so much for joining Fantasy Freestyle. How's it going there? You're getting ready for the season opener? Hot, Jason? Oh yeah, today's an exciting day. I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is. It's gotta be a huge day on the Draft Kings calendar, right, I mean that's my first question for you, Jason, Like, truly, how much of a spike do you guys see over at DraftKings for the start of football season? I mean, football has to be like your main you know, your

main season. This has gotta be like waking up on Christmas morning seeing the beginning of football. Just how big is football relative to some of the other sports on DraftKings You've pretty much nailed it. I've been watching the stats all day. I've been hooked on watching them, and numbers keep going up. It's a great day. The first Thursday in the first Sunday are usually the two biggest

customer acquisition days year. We're gonna add about a hundred thousand new registrants today, um, probably even more on Sunday. And you know, this is the fun time. This is when all the numbers are going up. Everybody's excited and it's a good time because I'm a sports fan, football fan too, so I get double benefit of being excited about the football season and it being a big day for draft teams. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Like who is your team, Jason,

who's your team? Well, we're based in Boston, kind of probably guess the Patriots, But fair enough. You know, I like all football and I'm a fantasy player, so whoever is on my fantasy That's what I was just gonna say. I like, that's what I was gonna ask you share more for the Patriots, for your fantasy team or for your line up in Draft Kings, which which is your true allegiance. Okay, alright, fair enough. Let me ask you something. Always you mentioned that you guys are gonna add like

hundreds of thousands of new users just in this weekend. Okay, so as not only the CEO of Draft Kings, but like you said, a fantasy football player yourself, what kind of advice would you give the first time player, someone who's just dipping their toe in the waters of daily Fantasy. You know, should they started maybe like a cash game or a head to head, or go straight to some of the g PPS, some of the big tournaments out there.

What advice would you have for someone who's just getting started with Daily Fantasy, one of these new hundred thousand people that were just added today to your site. Oh, you're probably a lot better guy to be asking that than me, but I'll give it a shot. I think it depends on your goals. If you're looking to, you know, play for a few bucks and try to win a big score, and you're gonna want to focus on the

big guaranteed price pool. If you're looking to kind of practice and get to know the game and you know, maybe make you know, smaller kinda winds if you win but a bit more steadiness, then I would focus on playing the double ups or fifties or head to head. So it really depends on what your goal is, all right. I guess it depends on how risk averse you are as an individual. But if you're on draft kings wager and you got to have a little bit of action on it, and it sounds like this is good time

of the year for Draft Kings. Let me ask you something, Jason, because I saw over on DraftKings you guys are offering not a thousand, not even a million, but a billion with a B. I feel like dr evil. You know, it's even saying that you're offering a billion dollars to someone if they can get the perfect lineup. Hey, Jason, why don't you tell us about that fun contest you guys are doing. Uh, this is the biggest contest we would ever run. And you know the basic gist. It

is totally free to enter, so no news. Existing players just kind of wanter. It's no cost um. There's a hundred thousand and guarantee prizes no matter what happened. So about a hundred thousand people are going to be getting something hid into their account for doing well. And then if you hit the perfect lineup, you win a billion dollars and it's fully insured, so don't worry. We're not taking the risk ourselves. We got a number of different

insurance companies to back it, so you know, it's pretty exciting. Obviously, it's very difficult. Takes a ton of skill to be able to pick the perfect lineup. But if you do it, you get a billion dollars, which is I'm sure enough to stay pretty amazing sum of money for anybody to win. Sure you said it, just it was free to enter that contest, right so I like my return on investment, might as well going over, might as well gone over to Draft Kings. Right now, I'm gonna throw in a

lineup and Jamesons. If you want to know the billion dollar perfect line up, all you gotta do is tune into Fantasy Freestyle tomorrow, man, and I'm gonna be giving it out for you. I'm gonna be giving it out for you. Let me ask you this because we've heard so much in the fantasy community about the back and forth with um all of these dfs and different states. I got a listener that asked me. His name is Taco and Alabama. He said he's been going through withdrawal

from Draft Kings for like two years. You know, he really wants to play. Where are we right now in some of the different states as a state by state kind of thing. I'm here in New York and it was, you know, it was off the radar for a few months last year. Where do we stand right now? So that our players know what they can do, what they can't do, where they can deposit, where they can play

all that. Where are we standing right now, Jason? Well, right now, there's forty one states where you can play DraftKings, and unfortunately Alabama is and one. I'm actually saw that, guys. We just saw that tac Taco in Alabama. Yeah, I mean, how you're gonna forget taco on exactly exactly I saw that, but unfortunately not yet. Now a b we're working on it. We have some legislation. It's actives, so something you're passionate

about you can help. Yeah, send, send, send a note and email will make it really easy to do your legislator, get your friends to do it. Let them know you care. Um, let them know this should be a priority for them in the next legislative session. We'd love to go back to Alabama. It was really disappointing for us that we ended up having to exit that state. It's great state, great sports fans, and looking forward to hopefully getting something done in the in the what slater and getting back

up and running in Alabama. Yeah. Absolutely, Jason. Hey, my last question because I know we're up against it, but um, thank you so much for joining Fantasy Freestyle, But Jason, what's next on the horizon for DraftKings? You know you got the billion Dollar Game? There any other fun contests out there? I know, my man? Uh you know Mayo is joining you guys and sometimes soon what about like DFS Bachelor or DFS Politics. What's next? What's next one you guys branch out of from football? Oh? Man, I

don't know, ye haven't you know? We've talked about doing different types of games like that right now or take in the sports, but you know it's in the future. The latest thing we did is we launched a new game called Pick Them. And the reason we want to pick them is we're getting a lot of feedback from people if they wanted to try it, but they didn't like to be on with the salary cap and you put a player in and then you're over and you

don't pick who you want. You gotta take them out, and it was just annoying for people, and a lot of people like if it's something, so the pick Them game by the same idea, you pick some players, you get to score team, I think, but instead of having salary caps, we've created tears of players. So you just go and you have a list that I gotta pick one of the ten guys. I gotta pick one of the easy guys. And you go down the list and picking the group together players that would be a similar salaries.

So you're picking from a similar set of people. Um, So it kind of effectively balances the salary cap for you and you don't have to worry with tears than play. But yeah, it's great because it involves just as much skill, but it's easier for especially a new player to be able to come in and figure out and play. It's just picking players and not worrying about the salary cap. Alright, awesome,

And let me ask you this. You say your last question for you, Jason, and thanks so much for stopping by the cipher here on Fantasy Freestyle, you said you're a fantasy football player yourself. You're out there for Pat's chiefs. Which Patriots chiefs do you have in your line of trying to win a billion dollars? Well, you know it's tough to play. Gronk Todays got Eric Berry on him. I think he will. Um, I think Brady is gonna have a big game. It's hard to say that he's

gonna throw it too. But who's gonna fill that Julian Edelman role? Come on, Jason, we need your inside. Who's filling that role? Is it? Mitchell is one of the running back Well, Mitchell just got put on the I R. So not Amon Dola. Give me a little Danny, Ammon Dola. Emmon Dolah is probably the best. You know, Hogan's more of a deep threat, thank you, am and Dola is probably the best bet to fill that. I also think they could lean on James White a bit in this game.

He was cheap on DraftKings, and he's a guy that had an incredible Super Bowl, I mean one for the ages. He was arguably if Grady didn't do what he did the m v P at that game. And you know he's a player that can catch a lot of passes out of the back heeld. So I think they might be leaning on him a lot without their slot guys

the full strength. All right, fair enough, This is Jason Robbins, the CEO of DraftKings, telling us about the billion dollar contest for the perfect lineup and all things going on on DraftKings into including some of the little mini tournaments that he's got going on. Thank you so much for stopping by the show, Jason. After I win my million dollars, can I invoice you directly? You mean you're billion? Right? Hey, listen, I'm gonna start small with a million dollar maker, and

then I'll get to the bill, you know. Okay, baby, staff, you gotta crawl before you could walk. Jason, thought you were gonna give out the winning lineup tomorrow. Hey, listen, listen, I can still win a million dollars and not have the perfect lineup for the billion. You know, Listen, I'll take a million. I'll be jes fine with that. Don't worry about it. I'll be happy winning my fifty fifty contest. You getting me? Well, if you win a million or

a billion, yeah, you can invoice me directly. I'll take care of sounds good, Jason, Thanks for stopping by the Fantasy Freestyle. Enjoy the season opener out there, and come on back on the show when you get a chance sometime, all right, anytime, I'd love to Thanks guys, it's really opener, all right, have a lot of fun out there, gilette.

That was Jason Robbins. When we come back, we're gonna break that down, and I'm gonna give you my season long predictions for the NFL division winners, super Bowl winners, and futures.

I'm Dane Martinez, speeds and spitting statistician, holding you down as we get ready. An hour from now, the Patriots and Chiefs are gonna kick off the regular season. I

told you I'm giving you my picks for tonight. A little bit later on in the show, big shout out and appreciation thanks to Jason Robbins, who just joined the show. He is the CEO of DraftKings and if you couldn't tell from his voice, he was very excited about the start of football season a ton of new people getting into the DFS game. Jason said that there's gonna be about a hundred thousand people that have registered today alone, and they expect that number to increase over the weekend

of Week one. And as you heard, if you have the perfect lineup on DraftKings this week, you can win one billion dollars. Alright, but the phone lines are heating up. I know lineups are about to lock for Week one, so I gotta get you all the stuff you need to win your leagues and win that cash. We got some callers lined up, and I just want you to know, if you're watching on YouTube, I had to bring my paper and pen because some of you guys are you know,

mentioned in so many players. I gotta write them down so I could give you the advice you need. We're gonna get it started with some callers in this segment. Hey, first, it looks like we got Casey and too Tennessee. Chris, he's got a question about some wide receivers who he should start. Um, if you're still on there, Casey, you are dropping stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle with speeds. What's your question? Hey? What's going on? Man? First and foremost?

What's on the first show? Man? You're amazing, Thank you so much. I appreciate the love. Man. What's your question? Yes? Um, I had Mike Evans and Parker, but a lot of Hurricane right, yeah, yeah, yeah, but our just my question? This is a standard league, and um, which one of these players would you bench for this week? I got Eric Decker, Keenan Allen in a in a tough matchup Tyreek Hill or Terence West, which one of them would

you keep on your bench? All right, so you're gonna play three of them and have to sit one of them, yes, sir, all right, fair enough. Well, I'm gonna tell you right now it is not Tyreek Hill. I like Tyreek Hill. In tonight's game. I actually think the loss of spencil wear means Andy Reid and the Chiefs are gonna try and get the ball into Tyreek Hill's hands a little bit more, maybe even in the running game. And you said,

it's a standard league. So those Jets sweeps, those end arounds, those wildcats that might happen with Tyreek Hill will help you out. So I really like that. Um, the rest of them is tough, Okay, Keenan Allen, as you engine, they're up against the Broncos on Monday Night Football, and the Broncos, you know, those Broncos cornerbacks or Chris Harris Jr. Keep to lead and the crew. Those those guys are no joke, right, So that's that's tough, and I could

see that limiting the potential of Keenan Allen especially. There's some other wide outs that Philip Rivers likes to go to, Um, Eric Decker. You know the thing is, if you have him on your team, right, you want to only play like you're hoping he stays healthy. He this is the healthiest he's gonna be all season, right, So I'd say you might as well run out Eric Decker because that Oakland's past defense that they're going up against is nothing to write home about. So I think Eric Decker might

be able to eat, especially in the red zone. Eric Decker does catch touchdowns, Okay. Even when he was with the Jets, he caught touchdowns, so I think that's a good bet. So I'm looking at Eric Decker, I'm looking at Tyreek Hill. For me, the one to sit a is either between Keenan Allen or Terence West. However, I would play West Okay, generally, I think Terrence West is just a guy and nothing special. But you talked about it as a as a standard league, so we're not

worried about any catches that al And gets. And I think that would Flacco, having just come back and not having built that kind of rapport with some of his new Whiteouts, specifically Jeremy Macklin and Danny Woodhead, I think that they may try to run the ball down Cincinnati's throat. So I would go with Decker, Hill and Weston. I would leave Keenan Allen out because of the Broncos secondary that can shut them down. But thanks for the love

and thanks for the call, Casey and Tennessee. You're welcome anytime. Even if I got that one wrong, you can come on back and tell me how wrong it was. Hey, Chris, it looks like we got Chris in Chicago on the line as well. Chris in Chicago. It looks like he's the siding between two pretty good quarterbacks. Hey, Chris, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Yes sir, Yes, sir? What's going on? How you doing? I can't call it, man,

It's a Thursday. I'm excited for some football, Yes sir, Yes, sir? What's your question? Man? Talking to try trying to think. I got two questions? All right, Uh? Should I start Drew Brees or um? Then big being against Cleveland and you know Brees is going against Minnesota. Yeah, yep, yeah. So first of all, I mean, that's a kind that's one of those good problems to have. Okay, hashtag m v P problems. You know what I'm saying. Like, both of these guys I think are primed to put up

big time production. Okay, if so, I don't think he can really go wrong either way. The what I will tell you, though, if I have to pick one of those two, I'm going with Drew Brees. I'm going with Drew Brees because I think he's locked and loaded for three hundred yards. The fear with Ben, and it's not a problem with him, but the fear with Ben is that the Steelers might get up too big in that game against the Cleveland Browns and then try to run the ball a lot and run out the clock in

the second half of that game. That's what I would be concerned about. Whereas I know, Drew Brees is gonna throw the ball left, right, and center, regardless of the score, regardless of the game flow, Drew Brees is gonna put it up forty times. The thing I might be worried about with Ben is they get up and try and run them the clock out against Cleveland in that opener. So I'm going Drew Brees in that situation. What's your other question? Man? Cool? Cool? Cool? Cool? All right? So, uh,

Marshaw Lynch or Robert Kelly the start yep Uh? In that one, I'm going beast mode. I'm going beast mode there. I'm going Marshawn Lynch. And here's why I remember a lot of things. I look at. I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna let you into my mind here, Chris, I

I look at the game floor. Remember I told you with the Ben Roethlisberger Steelers might be up big in the second half and then running the ball a little bit more with the Washington football team and fat Rob Kelly like, whoa, I think the Washington'm down on Washington and I'm high on Philly. Okay. I think Washington is gonna be down in this game. And that means Kirk

Cousins is gonna be throwing the ball. And when the Washington football team throws the ball, it is chrisms Thompson on the field as the past catching back, not Rob Kelly. Rob Kelly is that early down back, and I just don't think that that's the way the game script is gonna play out. Marshawn Lynch, on another hand, they're gonna look to, in my opinion, established him early as the

new toy there in Oakland against Tennessee. I think lynches in line, especially early in the season, early in games, for a bunch of carries. And I don't think Rob Kelly is gonna be on the field that much in the second half because Washington might be playing catch up to Philadelphia in my opinion. So I'm going with Drew Brees and your first question, and I'm going with beast mode in your second question. But Chris, thank you for the call. Hope those Bears do alright With Rabinsky and

Glennon under center. We got time for one or two more callers. We got Jimmy and Olympia on the line. Hey, Jimmy, you're in a fantasy freestyle dropping status over beats with speeds. What's up? Hey? So I was one of the guys that drafted where yes, ah the beauty of the early draft that, yeah, exactly. Um, I dropped Spencer where to pick up Dak Prescott? Uh to cover for Andrew Luck?

Now I have more receivers than I do uh back, and I just want to know, um, which one of these receivers should I drop for any of the running backs? Or if I should just keep my team the way it is. Um, My receiving core is Antonio Brown, Terrell Prior, Um Stefon Diggs, um Kelvin Benjamin and Golden Tape. All right, so my back and your backups are what my backs are? All right? No, my backside, My running backs are Jordan Howard, Ezekiel, Elliott,

d J Anderson and Darren mc spadden. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, Profederal yet in the pocket of your capis We'll check it out now you can.

The Champ is in the building giving you my predictions. Now, let me tell you something. Okay, if you were listening to Fantasy Freestyle at the beginning of baseball season, I gave you over unders on every team, and I gave you the Houston Astros and the Cleveland Indians in the a l c S. I gave you

the Washington Nationals in the NLCS. I gave you the Nationals and the Astros in the World Series, which is still live. I gave you Corey Kluber as the A l C. I Young, which is still live. So now is when you need to, uh, you know, tune in and get ready to go on over to my Bookie dot a G. They got some futures bets out there for You're gonna start with division winners. We're gonna go around each division, and I'm gonna tell you where I'm taking the chalk and where I got a couple of

surprises for you. Okay, first the easy ones. This is like Floyd Mayweather territory. Okay, making no money on this, but the Patriots will win the a f C East. So if you want to just like put your money in a look like a little small stock dividend and just hold it an s grow for three months and then gets get a like a you know, like a five percent return, then go ahead and bet the Patriots to win the a f C East. There at minus

twelve hundred, that is a huge favorite. You know, the Dolphins at plus seven hundred, Bills at plus eleven hundred, and Jets at plus fifty five hundred if you want to think that they're in fact not tanking and have a shot to win the division. But my money is gonna be an escrow with the Patriots. I think they go thirteen and three this year and win the a f C East minus twelve hundred. The only other minus on the board. In the a f C I like

big time is the a f C North. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the a f C North at minus one seventy. The Browns or at plus twenty eight hundred, Bengals and Ravens both at plus two fifty. I like Steelers to win this division. I expect slight regression actually from the Bengals and the Ravens. I think

the Browns take a small step forward. Not to playoff contention or anything like that, but I think the Steelers are another easy divisional winner in the a f C. I like them at minus one seventy to win the a f C North. Then in the other two divisions, it gets a little more interesting. In the a f C South, your favorites are actually the Titans at plus one thirty, followed by the Texans at plus one eighty, Colts at plus two twenty, and Jaguars at plus five fifty.

I am taking the Houston Texans to win the a f C South. I think that defense will once again be top three in the league, especially with the return of J. J. Guatt I think that Tom Savage will be good enough to manage the game with that stud defense and will in fact win the a f C South. But I have them and the Titans at nine and seven, both qualifying for the playoffs. But I think, you know, based on the value, I'll take the plus one eight as opposed to the plus one thirty if I think

both teams are gonna win nine games. I got the Texans winning the a f C South, and then we go out west, Out West. The Raiders are the favorites at plus one sixty, followed by the Chiefs are plus one eighty, Broncos at plus two hundred, Chargers at plus

three eighty. Okay, now here's the thing. This division a lot of people think can make a case for almost anybody, right, I am going with the favorite, But I think the Oakland Raiders with Derek Carr at quarterback healthy for the full season, with beast mode to help with that opening up the defense in the run game, I think their defense takes another step. They improve the back end of that secondary, and you've got Khalil Mack there as well.

I like the Raiders at plus one sixty, but one of my surprise teams in the a f C, I think they are going to make the playoffs, so I think they are a good value weekend and week out, starting this Monday night on the road against Denver. I like the Los Angeles Chargers. I think this is a team that can make the playoffs as a wild card. With Joey Boza becoming a man beast, and with Philip Rivers right, I'm not one of his last year's I think this could be a last hurrah of Philip Rivers.

I like the Charges to make the playoffs, but I like the Raiders at plus one sixty to win the a f C West. So my division winners in the a f C Raiders in the West, Texans in the South, Steelers in the North, and the Patriots in the East. As it comes to the playoffs, I can't bring myself to pick the New England Patriots. I just can't do it. And also listen, the Pats are plus one thirty to win the a f C. You're not gonna make any money there. You never know the law of attrition might happen.

In like fifteen years. Tom Brady has only been hurt once. You never know what these guys coming around the edge. The man is in his forties, so we shall see I'm gonna go elsewhere. I'm gonna try and beat the Patriots in the a f C. I'm picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the a f C. I think it's all the cards and the stars are lining up for Big Ben Levi on Belle, Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, and Mike Tomlin. I think they all stay on the field,

they all stay healthy. And Ben Roethlisberger has been talking about retirement. He thinks this is his last chance. I think the stars finally aligned. Losing Julian Edelman hurts Tom Brady on third down when it counts in crunch time in the playoffs, and I think the Patriots get upset. I think they get upset by one of these stud defenses, maybe like the Texans earlier on. If the a f C Championship Game is at the number two seed Pittsburgh Steelers, I like the Steelers to represent the a f C

in the Super Bowl. And if you agree with me, you can get the Steelers right now at plus three eighty to win the a f C. But I gotta tell you my lock in the a f C is. You can go on over to my bookie dot A g Right now and you can get Steelers or Patriots to win the a f C. You get both teams the prohibitive favorite, and my pick the Steelers right now on my bookie dot a G at plus one sixty five, you can get Steelers or Pats to win the a

f C and Boyd who I love that. I'll take the Steelers though, over the Raiders in the a f C Championship game in Hines Field in Pittsburgh, Big Ben gets his opportunity to go back to a super Bowl in the NFC. In the NFC, UM, I like the Packers in the North. They're big favorites at minus two eighty vikings to contend for a playoff spot. I like the Seahawks in the West minus three fifty. You know

that their favorites there in the South. For a lot of people have been talking different teams in the South. I think the Pants. I think the Falcons take a step back. Okay, with a little bit of aggression, they could still be a wild card kind of team. I

was high on the Tampa Bay Bucks. Like my man Corey Parkson, the fantasy executive who I talk with on Sundays on Lineup Block Live, I was high on this Bucks, but I think this cancelation of Week one and them not having a buy now for fifteen sixteen straight weeks, I think that hurts the young team and I am now fading the Bucks. My NFC South champion is the return of Cam Newton hashtag all Quarterbacks Matter, and the

Carolina Panthers. I think they take a step forward and when in the NFC s health and you can get them at plus one eighty there the second choice in the NFC. But my surprise division winner we go to the NFC East. I am fading the Dallas Cowboys. I think they overperformed last year. I think the New York Giants get into the playoffs, but as a wild card at nine and seven. My surprise division winner in the NFL.

In the NFC East is the Philadelphia Eagles. If you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know I have been high on that defense and the additions they've made, getting Ronald Darby, uh drafting Derek Barnett, all the weapons they put around, developing second year quarterback Carson Wentz. I think it's lining up for the Philadelphia Eagles. That roster is talented. I think Wentz takes a step forward and at plus three hundred,

I like that value. I'm gonna throw a couple of shekels on the Philadelphia Eagles to win the NFC East. And when we get to the NFC Championship Game, I think it's time for everybody to r e L a X relax along with Aaron Rodgers. I think Aaron Rodgers ultimately it is his year and they perform big time out. So like Aaron Rodgers as the second choice for m v P in the National Football League, I got Aaron Rodgers at m v P at plus four hundred. I got the Green Bay Packers winning the NFC over said

Philadelphia Eagles. You can get at plus sixteen hundred if you want to ride with speeds that far. I stopped just short of that, but I got the Packers and the Steelers in Super Bowl fifty two. I believe in early February, and I'm gonna continue with this narrative that Big Ben gets his chance with all his weapons there to ride off into the sunset. I think Big Ben in the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Lombardi Trophy this year because I can't pick the Patriots. I think it is

Steelers over Packers to hold up the Lombardi Trophy. You can get the Steelers at plus nine hundred at my bookie dot a g right now and I like that. Okay. I think then Ben rides off into the sunset and Levy on Bell may hit free agency looking for a new team after his Super Bowl win with the Steelers. Like Dalvin Cook as my rookie of the year for the Minnesota Vikings, He's at plus three third. You could win some money with that as well. You know another

way you can win money. You can go to Fantasy Factor dot com right now. They are doing free to enter one thousand dollar knockout pools. Okay, I'm telling you right now, my knockout pick for Week one is the Houston Texans. That building will be emotional. I don't think Blake Bortles is the man to go on in there and ruin the party. I like Houston big time week one. I told you I like Steelers over Packers for the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers is my m v P and

Dalvin Cook is my rookie of the Year. Hey, Chris, it sounds like we got some callers still there. It sounds like we got Josh in New Jersey. If Josh and New Jersey, if you're still holding I got you on the Fantasy Freestyle, you're dropping stats over beats. We got a couple of minutes before the break a Josh and New Jersey. You got a question. What's going on? Man? Hey? Man? What's going on? How you feeling? Man? Can't call it? Um? I have Kelsey and still sure. I think Kelsey and

Hill are the two chiefs to own Josh. I like both of them, Okay. I think Kelsey is, you know, one of the top two tight ends. Okay, So I definitely love Kelsey. And I think I mentioned before earlier in the show, I think that without Spencer wear, Tyreek Hill gets the ball in his hands a little bit more, okay, and the rounds jet sweeps wildcats, things like that, and I like that opportunity for Tyree Hill. So I think

he's sitting pretty I like both of them. Hey, Chris, it looks like we got time for one, maybe two more calls. Let's go to Joe in Tallahassee down there in Florida. He's uh, he decided to not go any tight ends in his draft. It looks like in Joe needs some help. Hey, Joe, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? Man? Uh hi? Um? Yeah? I own two tight ends right now. Ok I have Austin Hooper yep, and Charles Clay and there's also Evan Ingram in Waivers,

and I was considering maybe picking him up. Who do you Who do you like out of those three? Sure? Sure, I know a lot of people are high on Evan Ingram, but I'm not as high on most as on Evan Ingram. I gotta tell you that Jutruth. Okay, in New York, whether Odell Beckham is playing or not, you still got Marshall, you still got Shephard, you still got the pass catching bag Shane Vereen, And I think it's tough for rookie

tight ends. That's a pop off right away. I like Austin Hooper out there in Atlanta, Okay, he is dripping with upside. This is a guy that worked out in the off season with Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan is talking him up and outside of Julio showing where you got like guys like the running backs Tevin Coleman and DeVante Freeman. But I think Hooper could easily out get more targets this year than the guys like Mohammed Sunu or Tyler Gabriel.

I like Austin Hooper, and thanks for the call. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, give you my pick for tonight so you can get a head start on winning some cash.

And we are less than an hour away from take off of the NFL season. As the Pats in the Chiefs get to go on on Thursday Night Football, the Pats raise a banner at Gillette and that's my man. Chris Bovoned a bounty hunter on the ones and twos,

keeping it's so hot that we sweat steam. Hey, Chris, we gotta he got some proms for all those nineties beach you doing that as we dropped stats over beats, we got some fans of the music that you're playing. Keep it moving, Chris, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. And Chris, I want to get your pick on tonight's game. We gotta poll question up there right right now. Listen, the line right now is eight a half over under his forty eight and a half. Sixty

one percent of you are taking the Pats. Right now, thirty one percent say Pats, and the under thirty percent say Pats and the over only thirty nine percent of you are taking the eight and a half points in the Kansas City Chiefs, I am among them, Okay, I am taking the Chiefs and the under That is my pick speeds is lock right now on Thursday Night Football Listen. I think eight and a half points is too much, even for Tom Brady and the Patriots as they hang

a bananner at home. And I also think this game is gonna be a little bit lower scoring. The Patriots have things they need to figure out without Julian Edelman. The Chiefs have things they need to figure out. Traditionally early in the season, defenses are ahead of the offenses. I think New England wins this game. I don't think they cover. I think this is a four or seven point game. The Chiefs always play the Patriots close, regardless of where it is. I see this game more around

seen in that neighborhood. So I like the Chiefs with the eight and a half points, and I like the under forty eight and a half. Clayton Treyhan on Twitter Claymore's f FB says, I think Brady looks to send a message tonight that he's still kicking father times. But so it looks like Clayton disagrees with me on both counts, looking like they're like the Patriots and the over. It sounds like some points Clayton thinks will be scored it. Chris, how do you think tonight's games shake out? Are you

lay in the points the eight and a half? You think the Patriots role or you think the Chiefs keep it close tonight. I think the Chiefs keep it close tonight. I think the Chiefs are the type of team that they're gonna go into this game thinking where do we stand with the Super Bowl champions? Because the Chiefs are definitely going to be looking at where they will be by week fifteen, and they're gonna look back at this

game at week at week one. So I do see the Chiefs defense playing a very strong game, But in the end, I think the Patriots. It's the Patriots they're gonna win. Yeah, I agree, I think Patriots do win this game. I don't know if I would lay the eight and a half. In fact, I'm taking the points with the Kansas City Chiefs.
