SpittinSPEEDZ Wild Card Preview & DFS Values

vocal minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode number four hundred and thirty, the four hundred and thirty of convening of the Stats over Beat Cipher, where we help you win your leagues and win that cash. We have a big show for you. I'm telling you we are jammed packed. You may think, oh, you know, there's only a few games going on this weekend. Speeds ain't gonna have much. We got so much. I don't think we're

going to get through it all today. Alright. I gotta give you news and notes. I gotta give you the injuries. I gotta give you my thoughts on wild Card weekend. Back by popular demand, people, we have Speeds Verse, the kids and Danny, I'm a little bit worried this year. All right, I'll tell you why a little bit later on on in the show. And we got a special event here tonight. Okay, we may or may not. It looks like we're going to have a special guest too,

special guests in studio. I kid you not. The Professional bull Riding Tour is here in New York. They got a big time event going on, Unleash the Beast this weekend at Madison Square Garden. We are going to potentially have not one but two of the biggest bull riders in the country here on set with the spitting statistician. Uh. That should be fun. We'll see if we last one

them on into Studio thirty four. But that means we don't have as much time to talk about all the news and updates that we need to as we go into wild Card weekend. So first in the chat room, I want to hear listen, it is a new year. Thank you, Dilly Dilly to the Cipher. I hope the Cipher had high great you know, celebration to ring in a new decade. I want to know, like, what are your sports resolutions the year? I have a few okay, things like, oh, I don't know, maybe thirty more states

should legalize sports gambling. How about that that could be a resolution? What about maybe strikeout should matter a little bit more than they do right now in Major League Baseball? What are your sports World New Year's resolutions? Things you would like to see happen in We gotta poll question up as well. That pole question is which of these four wild card games are you most interested in seeing this week? You know, do you think the miracle uh

in Minneapolis? You know kind of rematch is gonna be big things? Do you think it is maybe the end of the Patriots dynasty and you want to see it crumble? Right now? That is the leading vote, getting option one percent of You'll say the Titans and the paths of the game you want to see most, and that I know has a lot of buzz. I'll tell you what I think about it. We'll hear what some of the kids think about it as well. If we have time. I'll also give you some DFS nuggets for a wild

Card weekend. I uh, I'm getting involved in a tournament that my boys, Frank Stanfel and Greg Susman do affectionately known as the BFFs. They run a contest, a DFS contest. I joined it. I'll tell you what I'm doing and how you can win a little bit of cache there as well. But the first thing I gotta tell you is, let's look at these teams that are in fact playing this weekend, what the injury concerns are. Right, That's what we usually do on a Thursday, And you gotta start

with Philadelphia. There is no team that is a walking match unit more than the Philadelphia Eagles at this point. But the most important ones, in my opinion are Listen, zach Ertz was back practicing today, alright with that rib injury. You know he's got an issue there. Um, I listen, if they can shoot him up number the pain, he's gonna go. He gritted it out in that game week sixteen. He's gonna go if he can. But don't forget that

they're so thin at that position. Remember they've been running out to three tight ends anyway, So maybe that's a big day for Dallas Goddard. All right, if Earth's can or cannot go, I think that I think it's a good game for Goddard anyway. Alright, but keep an eye on that one, and Miles Sanders still has yet to practice coming off that ankle sprain. He said he avoided the dreaded high ankle sprain, but he still has yet

to practice. That would be huge for the Philadelphia Eagles, making sure they have him, Nelson agilor DeShawn Jackson all gone. At least they have Jordan Howard back, and he may prove to be very important. You know how I've been talking about him all season long, especially if there's no Miles Sanders for Seattle. Listen, it's about Dayne Brown. That offensive tackle out with the meniscus, all right, will he make it back? All right? As they're trying to protect

Russell Wilson. All right, they're gonna go at it with Homer and Marshawn Lynch. In Houston, Will Fuller maybe on the way back he was limited, has that groin injury. It looks like he's gonna go. It's gonna be all hands on deck, even J J. Watt. It looks like we'll be active for the Houston Texans. In Minnesota, you gotta worry about the running back position right well. Alexander Madison limited back at practice off that ankle injury. Looks

like he's trending in the positive direction. And of course Dalvin Cook says today that he is refreshed and ready to go coming off that shoulder injury. In New England, Julian Edelman is a concern. He was limited in practice, although he's saying he's good enough to go. You know they're gonna run him out there. Tennessee is interesting too. Adam humphreees their slot receiver, did not practice. He's still nursing that ankle injury. You know how I love a

j Brown. Corey Davis Humphries plays an interesting role as well. He plays like the adelman role, but more importantly to me, and this is an interesting one. Jack Conklin, the Pro Bowl offensive lineman, was downgraded. Remember I say all the time, it depends on what direction they're trending in. He went downgraded from ful to a limited participant with a knee issue. You gotta watch that because if he can't go, that is a huge problem for Derrick Henry in the run game,

and of course Tannehill as well. In New Orleans, it's really about that tackle Andres Pete with his form. Remember he missed the last couple of weeks. Buffalo is pretty healthy, alright, Levi Wallace. Maybe a cornerback is limited and practice with an ankle, but that's about it, all right. So we have other headlines that we're gonna get into, all right, and then what we are going to do when we come back, and I'm excited about it. We're gonna start

Speeds Versus the Kids. Okay, So when we come back, I got a couple of news and notes, all right, still mostly about the coaching ranks and the front office is because we've been talking about that merrygo around. We've learned some more things about that. And then Danny, you better get ready with your picks. I'm gonna be ready with my picks because Danny, there are kids lining up this year to go ahead and try to dethrone the

spitting statistician. Uh. If you're new to the show, new to the Status over Beat Cipher, new to the the Sports Grade, new to Pluto TV, I'll explain everything we're talking about when we come back on the other side of the break. So I got some coaching news and notes. Then what we will do is we will get into the two thousand and nine season of Speeds Verse the Kids, will get Danny's take, and in that process you will get my thoughts. On wild Card Weekend, there were four games.

Let's put it this way. The amount of favorites I like it ain't four, it ain't three. It ain't to find out which one it is and why I'm afraid that one of these kids are gonna beat me this year. Come on back, it's the status over beat Cipher Fantasy Freestyle here on Sports Grade, episode four thirty. Come on back.

humpty hump. Back on Fantasy Freestyle, episode four hundred and thirty. I told you I'll give you the injury news and the guys that you gotta watch for these wild card games. But a lot of the news this week was made really in the coaching ranks, in the front office ranks. And remember we did we profiled the Black Monday firings on Monday. I talked to you what I consider the factors in um prioritizing different jobs, shall we say and listen.

One of the things that also happened. There are a few coaches that I felt worth treading on thin ice. I even suggested Patricia in Detroit, and they didn't get fired. But in essence, if you read the tea leaves, they were forced to fire their whole staff. And that's like the interim step before you dead man walking. And that happened in Detroit. Like I said, Matt Patricia fired all his assistance. In Chicago, Matt Nagy also fired his assistance.

So that means to me, and I say this because you know every year they bring up odds on like first coach to be fired, and you gotta look at Nage and Patricia next year. Okay, because their their their ownership is clearly not happy with them. They had to make their coaches be the fall guy. Um, so you know, keep an eye out for those guys. I think they will be in transition, not this year, but potentially next year.

The Dolphins went ahead and hired and Gailly out of retirement to be the offensive coordinator, and on its face, this looks silly, right Gailey is like sixty years old, was retired. People worried about maybe the league had passed him by. I don't think so, all right, I think this is interesting. He has a history with Fitzpatrick. He has the spread it out and sling it scheme, and to me, at least it's in line with their plan, Like they have a vision and that's better than some

foreign offices that don't. They know what they want to do. Maybe they go and get to attack of LAWA and they rest him as a red shirt year to learn under Fitzpatrick, who I have said is a great mentor, and to develop this scheme, and that's what they want to do. So I think it's interesting. And by the way, I say this because if you thought I love Davante Parker last year or this year or the unicorn Preston Williams or GAZICKI ascending and this kind of scheme, it

could be a nice little boost for those guys in fantasy. Still, however, no word on Jason Garrett, which is absolutely ridiculous. I've said this on Making Rain. There's rumors about Mike Zimmer and that Jerry Jones has a soft spot for Zimmer. Remember Zimmer and the Vikings are playing this weekend, so that could be be tied to it. Maybe they can't make a decision because they're real candidate that they want. They can't really you know, tampering maybe, so we'll see that.

Doug maron, uh, it's coming back in Jacksonville. I think that's a bad decision. I think they should have ripped the band aid off. They're trying to put it all on Coughlin, and it might have all been Coughlin's fault, but you know, they had an opportunity to fully turn the page, and uh, usually it doesn't work. If this guy, you know, now what, all of a sudden, his message is going to lead them to the playoffs, I'm not

so sure about that. We'll see and also listen adding to this kind of quarterback merry go round and we're gonna go through it, uh coach GM Chris Ballard as says, quote unquote to jury is still out on Jacoby Broussette. We're here in that same kind of smoke about Jamis Winston and Tampa, about car in Las Vegas. Now, so again it will be a very interesting market, all right, Danny. Let's move on, Danny. We have four wild Card games

to preview, and it is Speeds versus the kids. Now, for those of you who are new to the show, all right, what I do I believe Danny would has gotta be like the fourth year in a row, like last week. I think it's you've been doing it long before. Yeah, but it's all good. So it's a long standing tradition, Danny. I've got four kids that are coming back from last year, all right, and I got like five or six kids

who are new to the game, alright. So the way it works is we let the kids make their picks straight up, this is not what the point spread, and then you and me make picks right and it's straight up, So listen and we see if any of the kids can outpick the spitting statistician. But the key of it is really their analysis, right, Danny, they have some great insights. This is authentic. This is what they believe. Kid parents are not, you know, coaching them up. So let's see.

First of all, Danny, I told you we have some returners, right, and one of the returners is Dylan. Alright, can we play? But Dylan is really chomping at the bit, Danny, Dylan, I call him Tito. He's like my godson. Um. Dylan, I guess did well last year, and before giving his picks, he wanted me to remember. He wanted me to know that he did well. Check out Dylan talking smack before it even starts. Good Lan, Okay, okay, fine, you were in second place last time. Dylan. Calm down, brother man,

calm down. And if you remember, Danny, we had some controversy last time. Remember we thought that Zoe might have been coached by her dad, who was a Saints fan. Do you remember that one? I do, because she was like picking the Eagles and he wanted her to pick the Saints. Well play the Zoe inshow, because we're acknowledging the controversy. Go ahead, Danny. You've come close before. You nearly defeated Dane. But if not for some questionable pass,

interfeared as a Saints fan, and and other distractions. Other distraction, Okay, other distractions. I find that interesting, Danny. What he means by other distractions is the fact that he cheated. You know what I mean, right right? Oh, and don't trust me, Danny, you haven't heard all these clips. It's coming back, brother. And then the other thing is, you know, it's funny because these are just kids, right and by the way, we're gonna get into it on the next side of

the break. These are kids. We've got um as low as four years old all the way up to an eleven year old. Okay, Danny, we got a couple of four year olds, a couple of six year olds, a couple of eight year olds, and I got an eleven year old involved this year. Uh my god, daughter Audrey, who has been a returner. But what I love is that one of these kids, he's got a team that he likes that ain't in the playoffs. But it didn't stop him from wanting to pick him anyway. So then

O'Brien George Kurtz, listen closely. Let's play Ozzie's intro I Cowboys, Cowboys favorite game. Even though when I watched them, truly, one time they watch we lost. Now the world will now turn our attentions to the teams that are actually playing. That's right, let's turn our attention to the teams that are actually playing. I'm sorry Ozzy okay, and I'm sorry George Kurtz, and I'm sorry everybody out there, but the

Cowboys didn't make it. It was the Philadelphia Eagles, the way I said, what was going to happen winning the NFC East, all right, So um, you know, let's do uh, Danny, let's start. Let's start with the Bills and the Titans. Danny okay, And and excuse me, right, the Bills in the Houston text. Excuse me, Buffalo and Houston. That's the first game. And here's the thing, all right, a lot of kids are picking this for a lot of different reasons. Well one of them, Danny, I find interesting because we

have a little bit of revisionist history here. Listen to why Dylan wants the Bills in the first game of the weekend. Play that one. Dylan for the Bills. The Bills because when I was seeing Madden, it was a while ago, I saw that they won the Super Bowl. So pretty good. Interesting, So Danny he picked the Bills because in Madden he saw them and they won the super Bowl, so he's sure they're pretty good. Guess what, Danny makes sense to me if the Bills has never

won the Super Bowl but they didn't men maybe in Madden. Okay, but remember this is not Madden. This is real life. So Danny, uh, Dylan is gonna take his Madden Bills and use that as evidence for why to pick them. What do you think about that? Like I said, I think it makes sense. All right? Check out why Ozzy is picking the Bills. He's also riding with the Bills. Why is Ozzy picking the Bills? Go ahead, I picked the Buffalo thing, okay, And why do you pick the

Buffalo Bills? Well? I think it's kind of a cool name. Okay, it's a cool name. You can't really hate on that, Danny. It's a cool name. But check this out. So Audrey is Dylan's brother sister, and Audrey's going the other way. Audrey's picking the Texans. Let's hear why. I like her rationale. So I'm gonna go with the Houston Texans because, um, I feel like Texas is like known for their football. That's pretty smart. They are known for their football Friday

night lights high school football. Let's talk about Michaela. Michaela also riding with the Texans. Let's go to her before the break, the Buffalo Bill versus the Houston All right, you got Michaela Texans. We're going to Houston. Yeah? Why because then how it looks kind of like that makes sense. You're riding with the United States. I like that, that makes sense. But when it really comes down to it, why are you gonna make any pick? Play Zoey on this pick? Why are you gonna make any pick? But

why Zoe? But why why? Because I just think so, and that's why anybody makes picks. Right, Danny will make our picks for Buffalo and Houston, and we'll go through the other three games and see if any of these kids are ready to take down the spitting statistician.

Azzy likes the name, Audrey just thinks everything is bigger in Texas. MICHAELA likes the stars and stripes, and he's always like, no, I just like them. Danny,

Who do you like Bills versus Texans? This is tough because I used both quarterbacks both of my leagues, and I really leaned on both of the You don't down though, officially I'm gonna go Bills. All right. You're on the Bills, uh, Danny, I too, I'm on the Buffalo Bills in this game. Lock it up? Okay? Out of all these things, uh, in this game. You know what, I'm the most confident in the Buffalo Bills defense. That's the thing that has

been the most consistent all year. As I've said on this network a lot of times, Philly was the only team all season to get above one points with them So the question for me is can the Bills get to twenty? I think they can. I'm also very worried about the Texans offensive line holding up against what I think is a good front seven for the Buffalo Bills. Now, Kendashawn Watson make plays, sure he can, I just don't know if he's gonna make enough to beat the Buffalo Bills.

I'll take the road team, give me the Buffalo Bills. We are in agreement. Danny. The next game Titans of US Patriots. Now, Danny, everybody is on these Titans. Everybody thinks it's the fall of Rome, right, and I listen. I've been saying, I don't think the Pats will get through a gauntlet of three games if they're in the wild card. I said, I don't think they'll have they'll beat say, Kansas City on the road, Baltimore on the road,

and I still don't. My question is, is this weekend the one time at home where they still run up, block, punt, a trick play because that's what they're resorting to, and is that enough to take out the Titans. It's gonna be very interesting. Let's see what Audrey has to say. How is Audrey picking this game. I'm gonna go with the Patriots. Their record is better. Okay, that's valid, But he's chalk, you know what I'm saying. That's just like the public. They're all going with New England. You know

what I mean, Danny. Everyone sees the Patriots wants to buy the Patriots, all right, So I understand that. But what I thought is interesting. Check this out, Danny. Let's check out, and we're debuting a new child here, Danny, and I'm excited to announce that Cora. Cora is from an undisclosed location, Danny. All right, this is our friend to the Cipher, Danny Lee's daughter. We saw her dancing for Baby Shark. Cora is four years old. But here's

what I want to hear you to listen for. Okay, Cora makes her pick in this game, Danny, I want you to hear Cora's mother, Danny Lee's wife. I want you to hear her reaction when Cora makes this pick. Danny. Okay, so play Cora's pick. Go ahead. Who do you like better? The Tennessee Titans or the New England Patriots. Now listen to this. She likes that Tennessee Titans. What Mom, was like, what run that back? Run that back, Danny, run that back.

Play there again and listen for the shocked, horrified reaction of Cora's mom when Cora picks Tennessee go ahead running back or the New England Patriots. She likes that Tennessee Titans. What that's priceless? All right, So she's on record she likes the Titans. Um And then what I'll also say is we got another new contender, Andy, Alright, that's one of the newer ones that I put afterwards, Danny. Andy

has interesting analysis for this game. Check out what Andy has to say about Titans pats by the Titans score, Titan score. Okay, so but what do you think's gonna win? All right? So that's the Titans. A lot of people are on the Titans. Everybody wants to be sexy and ahead of the curve on the Titans. Danny. You know, everyone the stats of beastipher knows. I would love nothing else but for the Patriots to defecate the mattress one last time and lose again. Danny, Right, we would all

want that. Yeah, I can't pull the trigger on it, Danny. I think New England this will be their last Hurrah. I think everybody's getting ahead of it a little too soon. I think they summon the Echoes one last time, Danny. And while I don't think they'll cover the five and a half or six points, I do think they win this game out right. Give me the New England Patriots, even though I think they'll ultimately lose at an Arrowhead next week. And I want to pick Tennessee so bad, Danny.

I've been saying it all year that they ain't right. But I also know that people get ahead of themselves a little bit too much. I begrudgingly, Danny, I'm taking the pet Pats to win Saturday Night. Who you got, Danny? You know I think I'm gonna have to go Patriots also? He uh you? Fred Zoe? I did, But you know I got a fitter on this segment because we've got these bull Riders coming, you know what I mean. I got these bull Riders coming, and um there's better Zoe

later on. Okay, so we'll get to Zoe. Don't worry about that. Next game is the Eagles and the Seahawks. Danny and the Eagles and the Seahawks. Um, let's play. Uh, let's play, Jasmine, Jasminess hysterical. Jasmine is another newbie two speeds versus the kids. Jasmine's dad one of my best friends, one of the groomsmen at my wedding, a guy that you know I was telling you about my home dynasty league. This is the guy who beat me in the championship that I beat two years in a row previously. He's

my boy. His his daughter Jasmine lovely girls. She's like six years old. She picked Eagles Seahawks. But listen to why she picked it and what her father, my boy Tom, who was a big time New Yorker and Giants fan, Listen to how he reacts to this. Check out Danny Jasmine's pick for Eagle Seahawks. Why daddy does not love the Philadelphia Eagles. Who does Daddy love? No, she don't know.

She don't know. I don't know. He's like, He's like, all right, cool, So Danny, what we have here is a couple of instances of kids saying who they want and their parents not being happy with it. Right, Danny, Lee's wife is like, what the Titans. Tom is like, what do you mean? What do you mean the Eagles? We don't like the Eagles at least they're not changing that. That's right. So let's go back to Zoey because remember

Zoey's controversy was with the Eagles versus the same last year. Right, so you know zoe you know who she wants to pick this game? Right, go to Zoways pick do you take the Eagles as a fan of that's the Eagle. Why she likes the Eagles, She's like the Eagles for years, Danny, She's been on the Eagles. Um. But we got some other picks, Like, there's some kids picking the Seahawks. Let's

go to Dylan on the Seahawks. Hysterical. But because at school, everyone's like on their phone is showing these videos and how good the Seahawks are pretty good? So Danny, in some random elementary school and Queens kids are on their phones just showing each other videos of the Seahawks. You buy that? I mean, I guess kids are like, yo, yo, yo checked this out, and check this out. Check out Russell Wilson dropping dimes in a random elementary school. Kids

like yo, check this out. You'll look at DK Metcalf burning this dude. Okay, so what do you think, yo? It's it's hot in the streets and Queens Bro kids are showing videos of the Seahawks, like that's that's what it is. So so Dylan's like, yo, everyone's showing the Seahawks videos. I gotta ride with the Seahawks. I think that's interesting. But Danny, let's wake Cora. Cora's riding with the Seahawks, but it was a little bit unclear and thinks she wants to actually just ride with her father.

Check it out. Do you want the Seattle Seahawks or the Philadelphia Eagles? Okay, um, down, trust, don't truck with you. I can take that one off. You can take that one off. Um technically, Coral, I went with the Seahawks, all right. And then here's the best. We got another new new beat to the to the scene. Arianna. Ariana is my homeboy's daughter. She's eight year roars old. Ariana is amazing. We love Arianna. So Danny was the Eagles and the Seahawks, right right, So check out how Ariana

wants to have it both ways. She ain't losing this matchup Seahawks and Eagles, right. I guess who are on a pis go ahead? Play it last. We have the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Seattle Seahawks. So Ari, alright, and I got respect for that. Are we trying to have it both ways? Danny? And the Seahawks versus the Eagles. She's picking the Seagulls. I mean she got around the system, she did, so, Danny, the question is do we give her that one correct no matter what happens? Can we can?

We can we judge it by our scores, all right, so we'll see if every right. If she goes three and out outside of this game, then she's gonna lose it. Whatever it is, right, fair enough, fair enough? But I thought that was absolutely amazing. We only got a couple of minutes because and I don't know, we may have these bull riders coming in, Danny, But I gotta tell you something on this game, Danny, I'm going with Philly. I'm going with Philly. I know they were a mash unit,

but I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles. I like them to win the game, outright, Danny. I think that Carson Wentz is making plays. I think the returning Jordan Howard, you know, I think he rides them with balance. And I don't care if Sanders is there, if Art is there or not. I think Sanders is needed. But if we're saying there, Dallas Goddard can step right in. I like the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't like Seattle making that trip again. They won the game seventeen nine against Philly

a few weeks back. Listen, I think they summoned the echo Seattle with Marshawn Lynch and all that. But going on the road, it's a different thing. This is a coin flip game. Seattle hasn't been playing in those games. Philly has won three or four in a row that they needed to win to make the playoffs. They're the hot team, you know, all the mystique in ors with them. I'm riding with Philly. Danny will get your pick on

this game. We'll see if the bull Riders come in and if not, Danny, we got some great Saints vikings audio as well. Speeds versus the Kids continues episode four hundred and thirty of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on sports Gride. Dilly, Dilly, come on back.

Welcome back episode four hundred and thirty of the Fantasy Freestyle Ride here on Sports Grid. Yet

convening at the Status over Beat cipher. We still we may have two uh professional bull riders joining us right now. There's there's something Danny called Unleashed the Beast happening the PBR Professional bull Riding Series here at Madson Square Garden, and they're using versa kind of has their shop holding like they're they're they're they're kind of launched spot and they're doing right now. I kid you, not Danny and

anybody else who's listening. They're doing a bull rider rodeo fashion show right now in the My guy Ezekiel Mitchell, who's one of the bull riders that we're supposed to be talking to. Apparently is on the catwalk making it happen. Alright, So I'm not sure if we're gonna get them in. If they do, we won't be ready to rock because you know, spending statisticians ready to welcome anybody to the cipher. But if not, we got speeds versus the kids to

keep going with. So that's what we're gonna do. Okay, Danny, I told you I am riding with Philly in this one because I've seen Carson Wentz make plays in the fourth quarter. They've had to win their kind of the hot team, having to pull out victory out of the jaws of defeat for the last three weeks. I like them. Um, I think what I'm gonna do is tease my Sunday game.

So I'm gonna tease. I think the Eagles from one and a half to over a touchdown seven and a half, all right, I'm gonna probably tease the one favorite I like. But we're gonna cover in a second down to below a field goal. But Danny um and you're riding with the Philadelphia Eagles in this game? Yeah? Are you on the seagulls? As if that works, I'll definitely go and see what I'm saying. You know, I love for Arianna. Arianna has cracked the code Seahawks versus Eagles. Yeah, I'm

gonna go with the Seagulls. I like that Danny works. I'm in no, but I'm gonna have to use the same logic I used last year the rest of my bands in Philly. I got for the Eagles for them. Okay, fair enough. What have you liked so far the best? Do you like Arianna going with the Seagulls. Do you like the fact that Dylan is apparently, you know, passing

Seahawks videos and class um what about? I kind of like the fact that Audrey is on that, like Texas is big time football country for the Houston Texans pick. But michaela is also one of the stars and stripes, like the colors scheme of America. That's pretty cool. And Zoe is just like, nah, they just will I just because I just think. So who's rationale? Do you like best so far? I mean, I just like the idea trying to beat the system with Seagulls because I think

it's Partianna's killing it right now. But but but yeah, I mean most of the reasoning is actually made like, I feel like it's made sense to me. All right. So remember how Azzi thought that Buffalo the Bills were just a cool name. Yeah, alright, Well, Ozzie's adding to it with his pick for the Saints Vikings. Danny and I think, like, how can you argue with this analysis coming up? Okay, so we ask Azzi to pick Saints Vikings and listen to why he's going with the Purple

People leaders. Go ahead, New Orleans Saints first, Minnesota Vikings. But why Minnesota Vikings? Cool name? But why namely? Pick? What do you like about the name? Feel groovy? He feels groovy about it. That's the greatest thing I've ever heard, you know, run it back. I could run it back, Danny. That's awesome, right, running back? Why does he like the Vikings? Why is it so cool? What do you like about

the name? Groovy? He feels groovy about it, Danny, Danny, I think I'm off the Vikings to win now because it's groovy. He might be swaying my my Okay, Okay, that's solid analysis, right. I mean I'd ride with the groovy name. Also, so I gotta respect what Ozzy's doing He's on the Vikings on Sunday at one o'clock. By the way, I'll be here all day on Sunday doing pro football. Today. I will also be doing this Saints

Vikings game in game live, following all the action. Okay, if that line drops below a touchdown, I might take it. His brother. We haven't heard from his Casper Azzi. I kid you not. Casper like the friendly ghost um so. Ozzy is six years old, okay, and he likes the groovy team names. His brother, Casper is four, and I ought to tell you something. Casper didn't have the attention span of Azzi making picks. But Casper's on the other side. He's going with the Saints. Check out why go ahead,

New Orleans Saints. For some Minnesota Vikings chose the Saints. Okaya, is they gonna win? He thinks the Saints are gonna win and then he likes to add it with goodbye sir. Every single pick he made Danny Casper ended with goodbye sir. So I thought that was consistent. That was pretty cool, and he would also wouldn't do the video this week, but he like slumps in his chair out of you for the camera as he's making his pick and then he's like, goodbye, sir, So that's pretty cool. But but

his brother Ozzie thinks that the Vikings are groovy. Um. Cora makes a pick in this game does not offend her mother in doing so, because her mother is like, what you picking the Titans, Um, Danny, Cora is also going with the Saints. It's interesting though, what she recognizes as her rationale play. Cora, you want the rocket ship, so you want the New Orleans Saints. Okay, there you go. So apparently she thinks the rocket ships are Saints, all right,

And I got my man Jared coming on. And Jared, you may not be aware, but I do speeds versus the kids. I've got ten kids between the ages of four and eleven, and they're picking all the games straight up. There will be eleven playoff games. They're picking them up straight up. And so this is like the fourth or

fifth year I'm doing this. No kid has beat me yet, all right, but I got ten kids involved this year, so like someone's gonna stumble upon the right permutation and go like ten and one so far, Danny, I mean, excuse me, um, Jared, My man Ozzy is picking the Vikings because their team name is groovy. We like that. And then but you gotta like it. My homegirl, Ariana is an eight year old Philadelphia Eagles. Excuse me, Seattle

Seahawks versus Philadelphia Eagles. You know who she's picking the Seagulls. I'm saying, do I give her correct no matter what or wrong, no matter what he if her effort. I agree with that, all right, Danny Um, before we give my pick for Saint Eagles. And I've already told you there's only one favorite that I like all week long, and we've gone through the games, and I already picked the Bills. We've gone through the games. I've picked the Patriots to win but not cover, and I picked the

Philadelphia Eagles. So you know the one favorite I'm picking. But Danny, you remember the controversy last year, right Zoe? He was an Eagles fan and Jaredy you gotta check this out. Zoe is an Eagles fan. She's been picking the Eagles left and right. She's a four year old. Her father big time Saints fan. If you remember last year the Saints played the Eagles, Zoe made a pick. She picked the Eagles. Her father was like um, if you want Daddy to love you, you will make another

pick and and the stats of beats. Cipher was like, no, that's not cool. Let her pick what she wants, you know what I mean. But it was obvious that he coached her. Okay. And then she picked the Saints in the NFC Championship game and got banged out and she lost to me by one pick. So hey, Zoe, go with your heart, all right. So let's hear though, because Danny, Zoe makes her pick for this game, and you know

her father is happy about the pick. But then he tries to go a little bit further with it, Danny, and in doing so, Danny, I kid you not, Zoe's true colors come out yet again. Danny plays always picked for Saints. Vikings. Don't get this one writing what I mean, don't get this one wrong. Okay's aout quarter the quarterback for the Saints the Eagles. She says, plus it right there, Danny plaus it right there, plus it right there, and we'll bring it back. So she asked for the pick

and she's like, Saints cool. Then he gets all hot. He's like, yeah, I got this, I'm gonna push it and Matt, my boy, one of my groomsmen. Who that goes? And who's the quarterback of the Saints? Because she's heard this name. He's a Saints fan. It's in the house all the time, Jared. What does she respond with? She goes, like the Saints, and he goes, who's the quarterback of

the Saints? And she goes, Eagles, what okay? And then and then she asked him again, or he asked her again, and she goes, Daddy, that ain't the right angle answer. But then she finally comes to the right answer, and boy is his dad Pride's her dad? Proud? Put it up? Go ahead, play it? Who played for the Saints? Who's your daddy? Drew Brees? She said, Drew Brees, that was legit. Please let's go and what who that? We clipped it a litter eally she does in facts start chanting who that?

So we'll give that to her. But Zoe is on the Saints. We will see how far she takes the Saints. Danny, I'm on the Saints as well. Danny, I think the Saints are just a locomotive right now. Listen. I thought they were gonna put up points outside on the grass at Tennessee. They put up thirty eight. All right, Uh, this is a thirteen win team. A lot of people think they're they're better than the Packers, that they deserve

a bye. I think ultimately, I can understand you thinking Minnesota will keep it close, and I think they might for two and a half quarters, and then I think the Saints will get their working margin, get a stop when they needed. Why because Kirk Cousins will throw an interception because that's what he does in big time games, all right, And that's the way I think it's gonna go. So Danny, give me the Bills, the Pats, the Eagles, and the Saints as outright winners. But I think the

Pats will not cover the spread. I think they summon the Echoes one last time. Mohammed Sunu will throw for a touchdown pass all they'll block a punt or Julian Adelman will throw this a new They're gonna run out their trick nonsense linebackers out of the flat, and this is the last damn time it's gonna work because they're at home. Danny, you're taking Saints or Vikings. Is tough, I know it is, but you gotta make a pick

from that. You know what, I was so broken hearted about the Saints last year, so I gotta go with Saints. You're the kind of comeback story because of the canary of last year. From last year. Also, I mean, this might be the last time we're really seeing Drew Brees. That is true. But Danny, But Danny, the Vikings are groovy. Yeah, Vikings are so groovy, though, Danny, you strike me as a guy who would want to ride with the groovy team.

It's tough because I dealt with Digs small season, so like I did follow the Vikings a little bit, I didn't have anybody, surprising, I didn't have anybody on the Saints this year. But I gotta go say, all right, so you're going saying, so, Danny, I have you as Bills, Pats, Eagles, Saints the same as me. We're gonna be, you know, four and oh or three and one or whatever it

is together on Monday. When we come back on Monday, we'll have the final eight teams will be going to what I consider to be the best weekend in the entire NFL. This weekend is great, but it's a wild card. Next weekend you get four games and the big boys. I love conference championships, but it's only one day that following division weekend, I believe is the best weekend in all of football. We will have our eight teams, will break down, you know, my confidence in the head coaches,

the quarterbacks. We'll see if more coaching vacancies have been filled, and we'll also talk about this quarterback merry go round. You may put Brisett on it, you may put Jamis on it, you may put car on it, you may put Tannehill on it. We'll talk about what profiles right for different teams based on their needs. But Danny, I don't know if you have them up, but can we go out with our home go Cora picking the Titans and then how her mother re to that pick? Jared apparently, uh,

this is the guy who gave me his deployment coin. Okay, send me his his daughter's picks, and apparently his wife's a Patriots fan. So his four year old daughter clear as day picks the damn Tennessee Titans, right, and then underneath it you hear the mother right being and and she's literally like, the girl picks yeah, Tennessee Titans. The mother's like, what excuse me? What? All right? You got it? Let's play that one more time as we go out.

This is corals she likes to Tennessee Titans. What that is hysterical to the entire Leaf family, to all of the kids. We'll see if you're better than speeds, all right, because I'm gonna make my picks. And then this ain't a one week thing. If you start off three and one, you gotta make your picks next week. Anybody can get right one weekend. A broken clock is right twice a day. If you want to be like the spitting statistician, you gotta get it consistent. We'll see if these kids do

Bill's Pats Eagles Saints for me. DFS will talk about that. We'll make it pop when we come back. I'll be here. Make it rain p FT on Sunday.

I want to know, like, what are your sports resolutions the year? I have a few, okay, things like, oh, I don't know, maybe thirty more states

What are your sports world New Year's resolutions? Things you would like to see happen in We gotta poll question up as well. That pole question is which of these four wild Card games are you most interested in seeing this week? You know, do you think the miracle uh
