on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As you can see on YouTube live, we have a new addition to the Fantasy Freestyle and right now we already have a comment and an interesting one. We had a viewer out there, I say, what about Julian edel Finn, which I think is very interesting. We will keep the suggestions going on our air at eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine. You can also hollow at us on twit where you can comment on the YouTube stream. We

like all of the suggestions so far. Listen, I want to get into real quick. I had a run down plan and then in like at two hours ago, this Yankee Tigers game had not one, not too but three incidents in it started with Miguel Cabrera and Austin roll Mind and they were throwing hands. Let me tell you something. I believe more punches were landed in that brawl. Then

will be landed by Connor McGregor on Saturday. I'm telling you right now, roll mind Cambrera, even el Gaddy Sanchez got a couple in their catch your solidarity for the Yankees, and then a couple innings later, Dylan Patantis with a ninety eight mile an hour fastball to the head of McCann. Listen, I can't endorse that. Although I am a Yankee fan, I will say, maybe it is possible that his command just lost it, you know, it just left him. That

has happened before. I don't necessarily know what his intentional, but after you know what we saw earlier in the game, it probably is and we have to admit that. But then in response, Todd Fraser gets plunked. Let me tell you something. We have not seen this kind of fighting and animosity and straight up brawl in in I would say, a couple of years in Major League Baseball. It was crazy. Let's see what the repercussions are. You gotta think there

will be some suspensions after that. I do think it could be a galvanizing force for a team that wants to try to come together. Think about this. Yankees fans in two thousand and nine and the Yankees were in a brawl. They also won the World Series in those years. I want to keep it moving though here on the Fantasy Freestyle and talk a little bit about some news and notes that are around, um, you know, major League

Baseball that I didn't get to yesterday. Listen, Johnny Quato, he went three innings in a rehab stint at Triple A Sacramento. He may be on the path back. Go check to see if you can get him in your league for the stretch run Red Sox outfield that Jackie Bradley Jr. Is going to the d L. He has that thumb issue he slid into home on Tuesday night and he going straight to the d L. Indian second baseman Jason Kipness Is also on the d L now

he reaggravated that hamstring. Remember a lot of hamstring injuries this year, and Kipnes is going back to the d L for the second time with that issue. Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal is going to have Tommy John surgery, effectively not only ending this season, but likely all of next year as well. That means probably Singing Oh, also known as the Final Boss, is probably gonna be back in that closure role. But it's an opportunity to keep an eye to see who gets the next save. For St. Louis.

You could get some more saves going down the stretch there. If you need saves. Another person to potentially check out. He's urious Familiar. Familiar is going to be activated by the New York Mets tomorrow. I checked today. He is only owned in forty six percent of leagues. So right now, if you need some saves, remember the Mets traded away Addison read they've traded away a lot of people. Familiar might go right back into that closure roll only own

check it out, right. And also Robinson Canoe left last night's game another hamstring injury. He was legging out a double as a as a Yankee fan, have former you know Robinson was a former Yankee. I didn't see him leg out many hits, to be quite honest, and this maybe why pulled his hamstring. He's listed as day to day right now. All right, here's what I wanna do.

I definitely gonna be talking. We're gonna talk Connor Floyd a little bit later on Okay, I told you there's a lot of different ways I told you about the idea of par laying Floyd Mayweather with another big favorite. There are some very interesting prop bets that we're gonna get into a little bit later on in the show, but we gotta start with week three of the preseason. Here in the NFL, it kicks off tonight. Many people

know Week three. They call it the dress rehearsal. Okay, this is the week where most of your starters, the real guys, the guys you know, are going to be back at it. They're gonna be playing for almost more than a half. Okay, you might see the starters out there for more than a half. And we now know who the starters are in some situations. Okay. In Cleveland, it is going to be Deshaun Kaiser starting the third

preseason game with the starters. That is a huge tell that maybe Huge Dacson is actually going to turn over the keys to the car to the young rookie. Had to notre dame Deshaun Kaiser, you know what. It was also interesting in their third preseason game, the Browns have said they are not going to play Brock Osweiler at all. It sounds to me like they're protecting him from any potential injury, be because he maybe on the trading block. Remember the Browns wanted to kind of flip brock Oswailder

in an NBA style kind of trade. It didn't really happen right away, but maybe now with injuries and other things, maybe brock Oswailder could still be on the move. You know who else is gonna be starting the third preseason game for their team? The Jacksonville Jaguars will be starting Chad Henny a La Vodka. What did I say on the fantasy freestyle? I told you this was gonna happen, and here we go. I think this is now Chad

Henny's job to lose. He as the starter for the for the Jaguars might be enough to bump up Alan Robinson up draft boards. We'll talk about that later on next week when we get into the wide receivers. Also, uh, did you know that Rob Gronkowski has apparently changed his diet to be a little bit more like Tom Brady. He's cut out coffee and alcohol. I don't know how long that's gonna last. I still think we're gonna see pictures of Gronk in the club at some point this fall.

We'll see if he truly does cut back on alcohol. Giants are now backtracking a little bit on Oldell Beckham. He's having you know, like new age like blood spinning technology and injections into his ankle. They don't know if he is going to be ready for Week one against the Dallas Cowboys. You know who else is not playing this week? The running backs for the Seahawks, both c. J. Procis and Thomas Rawls are going to miss the third

preseason game. I think this is a missed opportunity because Eddie Lacey has not really impressed in his you know, limited work so far with the Seahawks. That offensive line is still bad. If either Process or Rawls was really healthy and showing up, showing out, they really had a great chance to hop Eddie Lacey on the depth chart. Okay, Also, um Mike gilles Ley, not the Fish, but the Patriots running back. He is back at practice. He was coming

back from a hamstring injury. Matt Forte coming back from a hamstring injury as well, Time montgom Re returning to practice. So some these guys rounding into form. And it's important because, like I said, in Week three of the preseason, which kicks off tonight, the starters are gonna be playing a little bit more. You need to get that chemistry. So tonight we've got the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles

on Miami side. Here's what I'm looking for, Okay, I'm looking at Jay Cutler and I'm looking at the chemistry with Devanta park We had a caller yesterday, Okay was asking me about Jarvis Landry and Devanta Parker, and I really said that Devanta Parker is the one to watch because Jay Cutler locks in on guys. He's already called Devanta Parker a faster version of al Shan Jeffrey. And I think his down the field style Jay Cutler I'm speaking about does not bode well for the PPR kind

of target monster that Jarvis Landry used to be. Jarvis Landry has average over nineties six catches in his first three years. I think that number goes down. I think we see an uptick in production and opportunity for DeVante Parker, So keep an eye on that. On the Philly side of things, we've been hearing a lot of buzz about La Garrett Blunt and when the small wood right, how La Garrett Blunt maybe has weight issues. How La Garrett Blunt has not impressed how La Garrett blunt roster spot

is in jeopardy. I want to see what happens now that when the small Wood is back and healthy, he's gonna get some burn, I believe tonight. I want to see how he looks. If he flashes, there could be more buzz around when the small Wood at the top of the running back depth chart for the Philadelphia Eagles. That's what I want to see, all right. And then the next game that's tonight is Carolina Panthers in the

Jacksonville Jaguars Chad Henny Ola Vodka. That's what I'm talking about and what this game is also in Jacksonville, So I think it will be very interesting to see what the home crowd does as a reaction when they see Henny walk out, you know, like with the first teamers in that first huddle after the kickoff or whatever it is. Right, If that crowd is in full on support of Chad Henny, it will be a hard road for Blake Wortles to get back in the good graces of the fans and

of the organization on the Carolina side of things. Listen, I'm looking at Camy Newton. They're saying Cam Newton is going to play in this game. This is the first time we'll see him in real action with that shoulder, you know, after that shoulder surgery. I want to see how he looks. Remember Andrew luck still ain't throwing or still at playing, still a practicing, and there's not only like six practices left for them before they go to Los Angeles in week one to take on the Rams.

So I want to see how Cam is doing right now. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, you got the Kansas City Seattle game. I told you I was interested in that running back room in Seattle, but with both Proceis and Thomas Rawls out, I'm not you know, you're not gonna learn as much. But on the Kansas City side of that game, you also have a running back battle. Okay, we're talking about We're talking about Spencer Ware and my guy, the third round draft pick, Kareem Hunt. He has got him a lot of buzz.

I want to see in this third preseason game, who is playing with the starters, with that starting offensive line, how Hunt looks against the starting defense of the Seattle Seahawks, which, as we know, is no you know, is no slouch. Dalvin Cook looks good against him last week. Could a guy like Kareem Hunt do the same as well. The other game tomorrow is New England Patriots against the Detroit Lions.

For New England, there's really nothing to learn. We know everything we need about New England and even seeing how the running back split happens is not gonna matter for next week in Detroit. The one thing is this kid Kenny Golladay, Well, the real Kenny Golladay, please stand up. Is the kid who wentn't crazy and week one or the guy had one catch in week two? Those are

some of the things I'm looking for. When we come back, We're gonna sharpen our focus and look at PPR running backs and we're gonna see who could be the biggest boon to you in that format. Okay, it's Dave Martinez, Speeds, the spitting statistician, dropping stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy sports radio network.

If you want to holler at me this hour you can at eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine. We've already had

some feedback about how to name the fish. Could it be Julian edel Finn? And we also got a great poll question up. We're asking you, guys, who do you think is gonna be like the most pleasant surprise among potential PPR style backs. Okay, Now, if you're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you probably know this, but I gotta educate you. Okay. The first thing in any fantasy league that you're in is to know your settings.

And in fantasy football, one of the most important things to know is is it a PPR league or not? That is points per reception. We are now in a day and age in the NFL history that is so much of a passing league. Okay. The offenses have gone away from the ground and pound that used to be the case, and there are now air raid offenses all over the place. A lot of people are throwing the ball, and that means that running backs are getting more receptions. We saw guys like Danny Wood have We saw theo

Ritic have eight catches. A couple of years ago. We saw Levan Bell who now has like almost as a stated goal to think if he can catch a hundred balls, if he can get a thousand yards of sleeving and a thousand yards rushing. There are some backs in the NFL, you know who are plugging and plodding along and they don't catch the ball ever. Okay, those are the guys. They're gonna help you in standard leagues. But guys that catch a lot of balls or a real value in

PPR settings. And if you're just looking at you know someone's an article or right kings, you may not know the difference. Okay, So I'm gonna highlight some PPR backs that I think are very important and in PPR settings are going much should be going much higher than where they currently are. Earlier in the week, I give you my my running back diamonds in the rough. Those are guys like Dalvin Cook. I told you how much I

love Jamal Williams. I told you how much I love Thomas Rawls, even though he will not be in the game this weekend for the Seattle Seahawks. Another guy told you about who was a diamond in the rough for me is Shane Vereen, and I want to bring him up again to kick off our PPR back discussion. He's going as running back seventy. This is two D and thirty overall. This is a guy who has average fifty catches in the last three years with the Giants and

before that with the New England Patriots. You know, guys like Tom Brady and Eli Manning love the past catching potential of a back like Shane Vereen and Shane Vereen. Also listen, if you don't believe a guy like Paul Perkins or a guy like Orleans dark Waw can really take that Giant's running back job, they trust Shane Vereen in between the tackles as well. Okay, Shane Vereen is a guy who can not only be beast in PPR, but they may turn to especially if those young kids

can't tote the rock for the Giants. So Shane Vereen is definitely one. I told you you know about Danny Woodhead. Okay, you know about guys like Theo Rick, but how about Bala pal Boom boom bilal pal pal Listen, the Jets offense is going to be atrocious. They're going to be losing games. They're gonna need to throw the ball, but they're gonna have either Josh McCown or Christian Hackenburg under sentensor. You know what that means. That means a lot of

checkdowns and a lot of short yards per target. Okay, they're not gonna go down the field. Also, the wide receiving corps for the New York Jets is nothing to write home about. Okay, they have been eviscerated by free agency, team beef and injury. You got Robby Anderson is literally the number one receiver. That means I think Bilal Powell

could challenge to lead the team in targets. Okay, blow Powell is someone in PPR leagues you need to go out and ge get the game flow will help with the Jets down and they really have no other targets. How about Duke Johnson? How about Duke Johnson in Cleveland? This is a guy who you know, Isaiah Crowell is going to be the early down back, the true running back behind that offensive line. I like crow Well as well,

trust me, I like crow Well. It's a high end RB two, maybe even a back end RB one depending on the size of your league. Behind which should be an improved offensive line. But Duke Johnson is going right now at running back thirty four, and I think listen, if it's a PPR league, you need to get him earlier than that. He'll catch four or five balls a game. I think he's a good bet to have about fifty catches.

Keep an eye on Duke Johnson, another team that is probably with the game flow, going to be down in the second half of games and half to shift to more of their two minute offense. There's no huddle offense, they're passing offense. Duke Johnson might be on the field a ton for the Cleveland Browns. Another guy I'll tell you in New England, the pass catching backs. But the thing is you don't know week to week what the game plan is going to be. For the New England Patriots.

If you want to go PPR style back in New England, I think the guy to go with is James White. He's going at running back thirty seven. Could also be Dion Lewis out there. Remember the Patriots are so deep they have four running backs where they can kind of use in different situations. But I think the pass catching back will be James White in New England. You got guys like Darren Sprowles in Philadelphia. Now, remember day've got Legarrett Blunt or maybe even it's even gonna be small

with that's gonna be the inside the tackles guy. Darren Sprawls, even in his career, like his last year of his career, is going to be effective. This is a guy who can take it to the house. And they love the safety of Darren Sproules. For Carson wentz down there in Philly. There's other guys we mentioned Giovanni Bernard in Cincinnati, Jeremy Hill wasn't able to do it. Joe Mixing. Is he gonna be a true three down back right away in his rookie year? I don't think so. I think there's

still opportunity for Giovanni Bernard. Okay, in Washington, Washington is a team. I think the bottom is gonna fall out. I think Washington is staring a five and eleven season in the face. Washington lost both of their wide receivers and Sean Jackson and Pierre Garson. Yeah, they brought into El Prior, but Kirk Cousins throws the ball all the time. That Offenson is a passing offense. I think Washington will be behind. I don't trust fat Rob Kelly in those situations.

You know who's gonna be on the field. It's gonna be Chris Thompson for the Washington football team. Chris Thompson is going at running back fifty four. Okay, you can get him very late in drafts. Okay, I'm talking twelve round and if you can do that, Chris Thompson can be a PPR weapon for you. There's other guys like Charles Simms in Tampa Bay, same kind of context. You know that one are the things they're trying to do. A j Amos Winston has helped him control his aggression

not go down the field as much. That could mean more checked down opportunities for Charles Sims in the passing game. The last guy I'll give you is the guy who led among running backs the Oakland Raiders in targets last year, and that's Jalen Richard. They now have Marshawn Lynch in there, but remember Marshawn Lynch didn't play at all last year. Marshawn Lynch is not going to be on the field all the time. The pass catching back for the Oakland Raiders is Jalen Richard. He's going at RB six the

five right now. I think in PPR settings, he could be worth a look, all right. I put up a pole question about this the options I had up with Shane Vereen, Giovanni Bernard and Charles Sims, because I thought outside of you know, like your woodheads and your theo ritics, that these would be well known guys. And right nowt of you agree with me, but that Shane Vereen could be the most what I called pleasant surprise in PPR format.

And that's because I'm fading Paul Perkins, I'm fading Orleans darkwa. Thirty percent of you agree with me that Shane Vereen could be the most pleasant surprise in this format, say Giovanni Bernard, a Charles Sims. But two percent say other. So I want to see who some of the responses are. Okay, big shout out to Ross Watson on Twitter at Birdman Underscore Golf. They say, Duke Johnson. I agree with that, And the reason I agree with that also is because

Cleveland's going to be down. Cleveland has a young quarterback that equals checked downs to the back. I like that option. I mentioned it before. Zack Davis at Zack Mamba six eight on Twitter says c J Procise. Now that is interesting as well. The thing is c J. Procise, they fear is very in bridgey prone. He's got a groin injury. Now. We talked about him being held out and I I think that c J. Procise is one of those guys

who will never be fully healthy. I don't know if I'm going to take a risk on him, but he does fit the profile. Did that at Notre Dame, did it for a little bit with Seattle. C J. Prosis is another PPR back to consider. Danster Damn on Twitter at dabber Dan Litt, he says, my guy Chris Thompson. I agree, Chris Thompson is someone that is a PPR option. I think Washington is going to be down and Kirk Cousins is going to throw. We also got Clayton Treyhan

on Twitter at Claymore's ff B Duke Johnson. They say, I agree, we talked about Duke Johnson. The reply goes he and Powell, who's admittedly a little bit more high, could potentially lead their teams in targets. Listen if the Jets, I'm telling you who else is gonna be? Austin Safarian Jenkins, Robby Anderson. I think that's a decent call by Clayton out there on Twitter. As far as Duke Johnson, I

don't think he'll lead the Browns in targets. I think that will probably go to Kenny Britt out there, And Kenny Britt is also another sleep. We're gonna get to wide receivers next week. I think Kenny Britt will lead that team in targets, but Duke Johnson could be second or third on that team. All right, So, um, we got a we got a caller though, do we still have that caller? Alright? So what you got? We got Shaun and Austin's got a question about PPR? What do

you got? Hey? How are you doing? What's going on? Man? How you feeling? Not? Bet? Not? Bet? So? Yeah? I'm in a twelve man PPR squad here a league, and just on my draft last night, I picked up the following PPR running backs. I got Christian McCaffrey, Keevin Coleman, Denny Woodhead, A Mirab Doula, and Doug Martin. I just want to know your perspective, see if I need to I needed some trades or sure. I like I like you mentioned Christian McCaffrey. I think he's gonna be a

PPR beast as well. You know, the Carolina Panthers are changing their offensive scheme, and part of the reason they did that is because of Christian McCaffrey. They also doubled down and got Curtis Samuel in second round. The Panthers they're gonna use Christian McCaffrey as a kind of Swiss army knife. The only concern I have with him is he might be a better real light football player than

fantasy football player. But I love the Christian McCaffrey. A mirab Dula is interesting because the past catching back there is really theoretic, and a mirab Dula has never really been healthy for any long stretch of time. I would worry a little bit about a Mirrabdulah because of the overall injury risk you mentioned Danny Woodhead. Danny Woodhead, if he is healthy, is going to be a beast. So I think you're all right there, Sean and Austin. I

like your PPR running backs. If you have any questions throughout the season, feel free to chime on back in and we'll help you out based on the waiver wire or things like that. But I think you're good, especially in a PPR league to start off. When we come back, we're gonna get into Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. It should boy, Dame Martinez pez of spitting statistician. How to

win some money on Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go get on Lord to the fastest grilling fantasy sports radio network in the business, featuring the f s t A award winning up on Target Fantasy. The Fantasy Sports Radio Network is the rookie of the Year in the industry and it's only growing fantasy sports radio networks at fts y dot com slash Radio you a welcome back to the Fantasy

Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your boy, Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician holding you down on a Thursday with mom Man Chris Bocona, the Bounty Hunter. Hey, um, Chris, let me ask you something. We were talking about PPR running backs and how in that format there are certain pass catching backs out there that are much more valuable. I gave him about ten

or twelve different options to help you win your league. Chris, you got any others you want to throw out there, or any that you specifically like in PPR formats. It's funny Chris and I are sitting here talking to each other and we both really actually do like a Mierabdulah, even though you know you said he's injury prone, but for some reason, we just have this good feeling about that duela this this year that he could get a

little bit more in the PPR format. And I think Chris is actually gonna say something to you in a little bit here. Alright, alright, But there's the thing with in that situation. My my issue is really the theoretic. You know, theoretic has been in that role for so long. Theoretic is that guy who's gonna get Now you think Amer Abdulah will just play the same role, you know, Jim Bob Cooterer in that offense, Matthew Stafford. They will

throw the ball. But I don't know if there's ever been a team that has like not one, but two PPR backs that both get over like fifty catches. I don't know, Chris, what do you think? Well, yeah, I mean that's rare, of course, um But I mean I watched a mirab Dula play and theoretic last year had to come in and be the featured back. When Abdullah got hurt, he obviously couldn't handle that role. I don't think he's that type of back. He's a third down back.

I would say, right, fair enough, but but he doesn't think for you trust Abdulla to stay healthy. I do, because honestly, I know a lot of people say he gets hurt, and he got hurt all last year, but he was hurt from one injury the entire year. UH his rookie season, he was in all sixteen games. He was just behind Joyke Bell on the depth chart, so he didn't really get an opportunity to play as much. I think we're it's a little bit being able played

a little bit with the injury risk on him. I'd give him one more shot and draft in the six, seven, eighth round if I can, and he has the talent, and that's where it is. I think it's very high opposite. Yeah, I remember him in Nebraska, Listen, he looked like a beast and coming out coming out of the draft, a lot of people were high on the mirror Abdullah. If you want to know the truth of funny thing, last year the the Arizona Cardinals, they were on that show

All or Nothing. I think it's on like uh, you know, like Amazon streaming whatever it is. And they said, you know, they had Cabins, they're a draft day. They wanted this being the Arizona Cardinals, they wanted a mirror Abdullah. They thought his skill like, I agree with you, Chris, everyone like really loved him coming out or member him in Nebraska. The Lions then drafted Mero Abdullah. And you know who the Cardinals wound up with in the next round, Chris,

do you know who they quote unquote settled on. Yeah, it's David Johnson. So I think that worked out. Okay, you know, but um, yeah, it's possible for Meabdula. Listen, guys, here's what we're gonna be doing. Here's what we're gonna be doing for the next couple of weeks.

All right, let's keep it moving because you know what I'm gonna do right now, I'm gonna help you win

some money. I'm gonna help you win some money right now. Okay, This Conor McGregor Floyd Mayweather fight that is going on this Saturday in Vegas is nothing more than a money making opportunity. It's been a money making opportunity for Floyd Mayweather because he's got to pay his taxes. It's been a money making opportunity for condom Or Gregor, who's gonna

make a hundred million dollars on this fight. And as recently as two thousand thirteen, he was a janitor, still picking up welfare checks literally, And this could be a money making opportunity for you. I have been telling you all week long. You need to empty out the four oh one k. You need to use your rent money, and you need to put it on Floyd Mayweather. He is now all the way down to minus four hundred

or minus four fifty, depending on your shop. You need to bet that there is no way that Connor Gregor is going to win this fight. And here's the thing, though, style makes fight, Okay, and that's something that we talked about in boxing, that style makes fight. Floyd Mayweather is not a knockout puncher. Floyd Mayweather is a counterpuncher. Floyd Mayweather is a defensive fighter. Floyd Maywear there is a businessman.

He is not going to put himself in the position where one straight right from Connor McGregor can do any damage or put him at any risk. He is going to out box Connor McGregor. He is going to put on a clinic on Saturday night or here on the East Coast, it might be Sunday morning, because this flight is not gonna happen until eleven thirty midnight on the East Coast. But here's the deal. Floyd doesn't knock anybody out.

So right now, you can get Floyd to win and at like minus four hundred, and I still say that's the safest bet. Put all your money on it. Like I said, empty the rowth, I ra a whatever it is. But you can get Floyd to win by decision at plus to fifty, and I think that is a very juicy opportunity because Floyd doesn't really knock people out. Here's my one concern about that being my luck for the fight,

Floyd by decision. I even think you can get Floyd by unanimous decision because there's not gonna be any you know, split cards on this fight. Okay, Floyd by decision I believe is the way to go. Here's the only issue. And if you watch you know MM A UFC, you know this. Connor McGregor does not have uh stamina. Connor McGregor gets gassed in rounds four and five of UFC fights. Okay,

that fight that they had against Nate Diaz. He won the first three rounds and then he just hanged on in rounds four and five and kind of got through it to win that decision. Connor McGregor does not have the stamina. He gets gassed in his cardio. UFC is five five minute rounds. I'm gonna do some quick math for you. That's twenty five minutes. Boxing is twelve three

minute rounds. That's thirty six minutes. For Connor to last the entire fight and for it to go to the cards, it's going to be another eleven minutes, like another kind of thirty percent. Then he would ever have to last

in the octagon. My only feed here about the Floyd Mayweather by decision bet and I still think it's a good one, is what if Connor gets so gassed that even Floyd Mayweather, can you know, knock him out in a kind of technical knockout way where the ref comes in and stops the fight because Connor has nothing left. I think that is a possibility. That's the only reason I would say to go away from the Floyd by decision. But I'll bet it all. I'll bet Floyd to win.

I'll bet Floyd by decision. You can get got some specific rounds. Also, if you think you want to be real cute, I say, don't do that. I also told you yesterday that what I would do is I would find the biggest favorite on the board tonight against the Cardinals and Carlos Martinez at like minus two twenty, and I take that in a two event parlay with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday. Okay, I would see who the biggest favorite on the board is in Major League Baseball tomorrow.

Maybe it's the Lost Angelist Dodgers, and I would take them, and I would par lay it with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday. I would look because college football starts this weekend, and in college football early on you have some real David and Goliath kind of matchups. I'd find one. I'd bet a heavy favorite, some actual team going against the small directional kind of school. I take them and I'd par lay it with Floyd money Mayweather. That is the way

to go. Okay, there's also some interesting ones. You can get things like how many punches will Connor McGregor land. And let me tell you something. If their props bets about how many punches someone's gonna land, you know they're not a good bet to win the fight. Come on, people, Okay, I think there's some late money that's gonna come. I think there's still people out there that are waiting for the best price. They count on Floyd and then they're

gonna drop half a million dollars on Floyd Mayweather. I'm telling you empty out the four oh one k. You know what's interesting? Um there is a prop bet of will there be a rematch? And that's another thing I'm a little bit worried about. I'm a little bit worried about that angle. These are ads, our businessman. What if there's some kind of weird thing that happens. I kind of feel like something weird could still happen, like a disqualification, like a draw, something to just set up a rematch.

So keep an eye out on that. Do I ultimately think that's gonna happen. No, I don't think there's gonna be a rematch. I think Floyd rides out into the sunset going fifty and oh after this fight, But keep an eye on that. You never know. And one thing I do want to say before we go to the next break, there is a prop bet will Floyd win all thirty six rounds, like will it be one two, one oh eight on all three judges score cards. I've

been saying that that's a viable possibility. I'm gonna I'm gonna backtrack a little bit on that, because Floyd Mayweather may be known to like, you know, he may be up so big that he like rests in around or kind of like rope Adope's Condomcgregor, and to try to like use up that stamina and really throw in one round. So I don't think he's gonna win all of the

rounds anymore. I think Floyd will will have such a big lead that he might give away round eight or nine, or he might give away round two because he wants, you know, Connor to get in there and really start to gas himself stuff out. And I do think that's gonna happen. You could also bet things like will Little Wayne wear a shirt in the walkout? Will Donald Trump tweet about the fight? You know, things like that. I'm telling you, though everyone's gonna be disappointed. You're gonna see

a clinic by Floyd Mayweather. You're gonna see a relatively boring fight, and you're gonna see Connor McGregor get gassed by round nine. But the way to do it, like I said, parlay a big favorite with Floyd Mayweather. And I also like that Floyd Mayweather by decision because he doesn't knock many people out. If Connor McGregor can stand and be you know, have the stammin of thirty six minutes, we're going to decision and it'll be Floyd Money Mayweather.

guys tomorrow. Because I know a lot of people have their fantasy football drafts happening this weekend, coinciding with Week three of the preseason.
