We finish strong at fantasy points. That's what we do. Gentlemen,

good evening. A little football game this weekend. We excited? Yeah. John, this is my first year in about 30 that I'm not in the Super Bowl city. I know, I know. I've been to like half of them over the last like 15. So I feel a little, feel a little loss as well. First one and 19 for me, man. First Super Bowl, 19 and first Super Bowl. Yeah. I think I started going regularly if memory serves me in And was that the Giants Super Bowl or no? That was Cowboys Bill's. Cowboys Bill. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Yeah. I won a block pull that Super Bowl and I won $18,000. Okay. Yeah, but no, first one, but given what I've heard, I've heard it's almost a ghost town. It is. Radio Rose. Yeah, they only have like 30-some-odd stations.

Yeah, yeah. Wow, that stinks. All right. Well, I guess we'll start with Adam and we'll start with the latest in terms of the injuries, Whitehead, Winfield, AB. Yeah, actually, the one that's interesting and hopefully it's nothing is Cambrate was limited today. So he's added with the back injury, we'll see how he does tomorrow. So that obviously with the way he's been catching the ball later and how his rolls increased, so we'll have to keep an eye on that one.

So that, that, Intern, Brown, bonged something unforeseen, like more swelling heel play. and Whitehead is going to have to strap up that shoulder and just, I mean, I think he's going to play. I just don't know how limited he's going to be with it. Right. Okay. Greg, we'll go to you and we'll get your notes and thoughts, just general thoughts on this matchup back in week 12. Wasn't that long ago? No.

What stood out to you? Obviously, Mahomes and company moved the ball up and down at Will. They tried, I guess, to double Kelsey and Tyreek. I guess at times didn't really work out. So just give us the Cliff Notes version of that first matchup, what really stood out to you on either side or both sides. Well, I think what stood out to me is really on the other side. The Chiefs were very aggressive with pressure, and they've been aggressive with pressure all year long. And the Bucks will have to have answers for pressure, because Steve Spagnolo was not all of a sudden going to play coverage and not attack. They had,

I think, five snaps of cover zero in that week 12 matchup. They blitzed, I believe, on about 20 of Brady. these dropbacks. So they, they were very, very aggressive. I'll be very anxious to see, and it was very interesting to hear Adam talk about Cameron Brae, because I think that he could be a very big factor in this game. And my guess is barring anything unforeseen he will go, but I think he could be a big factor in this game. And the, and the second thought I would have is, we don't talk enough about the corners for the chiefs. And I think that Evans and Godwin have to win one-on-one matchups. There will be one-on-one matchups. There will be one-on-one matchups. on the outside and they're going to have to win those.

Yeah. And it's not like as we kind of bop around, bounce around. I mean, look, Traverer's Ward and Bashad Brillen have been really good. But Greg, I mean, these are not shut down guys here. I mean, Breeland was a. They're pretty good. I mean, they're better than people think. Yeah.

And Sneed's going to be fine, right? I'm going to ask you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he got cleared. I'm going to ask you about Sneed. I know that they're, I know. He's their slot corner now. So he plays in nickel. and he's been playing a nickel for well over a month,

and obviously he stays in when they go dime, and they play dime a lot. Yeah, 35% of regular season. Yeah, yeah, and I saw on your notes that they blitz at a dime or might in this matchup, which you thought could be problematic here. How's the Tampa O line look to you these days? Stiny, I guess, inside would be probably the weak link, right? Well, and it's funny you mention that because I think that even though Spags will

blitz, and there's no question about that, they can also hurt you with a four-man rush because of Chris Jones inside. And I think the interior three of the Bucksaw line, let's not call it a weakness, but let's just say they're vulnerable to Chris Jones, who everybody remembers the Super Bowl a year ago. Many thought he should have been the MVP. He was dominant in that game. He's a dominant inside player. And what Spags does exceptionally well, even when he only rushes four is he starts to walk linebackers up into gaps along the line of scrimmage on the ball. So what he does by doing that is he dictates protection and then sets up one-on-ones. He's really good at that. And he will do that to set up Chris Jones one-on-one with usually a guard. Now, when you talk about Cam Brayt, the importance

of Brate, is that because you think there's a beatable matchup for the tight ends against Daniel Sorensen at times and man-to-man? Or is it because of... maybe you'd think they'd be better off rolling with, even if A.B. plays a little bit more 12 personnel, keep the two tight ends on the field. More of the second reason. I think that you want to see how Spags will react to 12 personnel in normal down-and-distance situations. Will he play base or will he play nickel? That's what you want to find out early in the game. And I think to me, the 12 personnel is a big part of that. Now, Grancowski, excuse me, has not been a big factor in the past game since that week.

12 game. In that week 12 game, he was six for 106. I think that's what he was. I don't have the numbers right in front of me, but obviously I've been studying this game, so that rings a bell. He has not been a big factor in the past the game since that game. Yeah, and a lot of that is because he's a pretty good blocker, and he's been needed to a block. He had six for 106 on seven targets. There you go. So I remembered it correctly in that game. But, you know, he has really, run 10 more routes than Brate this postseason, but he's managed just, you know, very little production here. You only have the one catch on the screen in the NFC championship game? He's got two for 43 on 10 fewer targets than Brate in the play. John, I wonder on those plays,

maybe Greg could jog his memory. Because, you know, sometimes when they correct these guys with routes, it's a delayed route where he goes in, he stays in, and then he to block and then he goes out. That's the thing I love to know is really how many. And I'm not, and John, I'm being honest with you, I know you have that stat about routes. I don't, and I'm being honest, I don't know exactly what that means. Yeah. So I guess when they determined that your, your primary objective is not to block on the play, they called a route, you know, so those plays that Adam just outlined is got to be a route,

I'm sure, considered a route. I noticed in your notes, and I actually saw this myself, I'm surprised I haven't heard more people talking about it, but on that touchdown, Greg, to Sky. Miller, Gronk missed a block and Leonard picked it up real nice, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think that play happens without that. No, you're exactly right. That play does not happen.

Yeah, we don't need to go back over that play. We did that last week. But yeah, Gronk missed his block because they kept him in, obviously, for protection. And he missed it. And if it wasn't for Fournet, who actually crossed the formation to pick it up, that play would not have happened. And I saw on your notes that you weren't impressed with either Fournet. or Jones in pass pro in week 12,

it seems like Fortnite has probably, you know, come a little bit since then. I don't think they're very good overall. I mean, that's going to be very interesting. Bruce Ariens wants to get five out. And we're going to see because that's another reason I think Spags is going to blitz because he's not going to want him to get five out.

And you can't get five out if you're going to blet versus pressure like that. You talk about five potential receivers? All five eligible is out. Yes, all five out. Yeah. How have you thought the Bucks have run the ball in the postseason? I mean, they have been balanced. I've been talking about that.

I think it's critical in this one. But, you know, it doesn't seem like their O line has been very good. Or maybe it's the running backs. Well, I think balance is a relative term. And Adam can jump in here too. You know, they're not going to try to quote unquote short in the game. That's not an Arian's philosophy. So that doesn't mean he's never going to hand it off.

But this game's not going to be about running the ball the way you're, the way I think you mean, John. You know, yeah, he's going to run the ball. Of course he is. Yeah. But this is not a game where they're not going to have 35 rushes when this game's over. Oh, no doubt. But, you know, if they come out Blitzen and Brady get, look, I think back to that game

when Brady got hit on the first dropback, first play of the game against New Orleans. I was like, wow, that was a little scary. He's not been good against it. Yeah, Greg, that's what I want to ask. Not as good this year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Are they, because you've told for, for, you've told us for years, if you want to get Brady, you've got to get him up the middle so he can't step into the throws. Well, I mean, obviously up the middle is where you ideally want to get him. But if you can get pressure anywhere and don't forget, there's a couple of things at play here.

Number one, Brady spent all his years in New England in what was mostly a quick rhythm pass game, a lot of choice routes, pivot routes, whip routes, option routes. Ball came out. This is a different pass game. He's in the pocket a little bit longer. And teams know that. defenses know that. I mean, look, one of Jari Alexander's interceptions in the NFC championship came with a blitz where there was a free runner at Brady and he just threw it up to Mike Evans

and Alexander intercepted it. So there's going to be pressure. The question is, how will the bucks handle it? And, you know, that's one reason why Gronk's probably been blocking more. I think that the backs will have to be a factor in pass protection at some point. And everything I'm saying, nothing is 100%. So I don't want people to think, oh, Grang's going to stay in on every play. You know, Fournette's going to stay in on every play. Right.

Nothing is 100%. But that's going to have to be a part of this game. Back to the running game. Like, if you're looking to attack the biggest or one of the more prevalent weaknesses of this KCD, I would argue you do with the running game. I don't know if the past defense, I think that's their strength. And they have been, they're not, you know, a brick wall, Greg, against the run. If you're looking to attack Casey's biggest weakness as Tampa's

offense, how do you do that? Tide ends and running backs. Yeah, but I think, and again, I'm not saying that Spaggs goes into a game and says, hey, let's give up a lot of yards running the ball. Right. But I think for the most part, they probably think philosophically that if an opponent wants to run the ball, have at it. Because number one, you don't score a lot of points. Usually. Number two, it takes more plays to score. more plays, more chances for mistakes. So again, it's just like one of the reasons I personally believe Spags is so aggressive since he became the Chiefs, D.C., this is his second year,

is because he also knows that if he gives one up, his team's going to score 30 plus. You know, the first two third downs of week 12, he went cover zero. I mean, he's got no problem being very, very aggressive with fresher. Adam, when we see Antonio Brown likely active, what can we expect from him? And then Greg will ask Greg about, you know, that matcher when he's on the rookie sneed. But I mean, would you at this point expect AB to be,

you know, pretty good close to 100%? Yeah, it's just the only thing they're concerned about is swelling. That's been the issue with him is keeping the swelling down. If the swelling's down, he's playing. There's no question. Then the other is how much can he play? Can he play full math? the snaps. And the good thing is today he took all of its normal snaps. That's a great side.

Greg, A, B, the veteran, probably going to make the Hall of Fame, obviously, against a rookie. Is that a matchup they may look to exploit? I know you like what you see from Sneed, but A.B. is a different animal. Yeah. I mean, look, Spags will play man-to-man coverage. They basically do three things on defense, not exclusively, but three foundational things. And man is one of them. So Sneed will be in the slot. I think he's done very, very well. He played snaps on the outside earlier in the season. Now he's their slot corner. I think he's done a really nice job over the last month or more.

So, yeah, look, the bottom line is the Bucks are going to have to win some one-on-one matchups, whether it's Brown, whether it's Evans, whether it's Godwin. However, they want to set that up. I mean, Evans, in that week 12 game, to make a 27-24 beat Ward later in the fourth quarter. They ended up never getting the ball back, but he beat Ward on a, on a, vertical route. They'll have to win those routes. And the Chiefs play sides. They won't match up. Wards the left corner of Bureland's, the right corner snee plays in this slot. They don't match up. And then back to the tight ends as we really cover Tampa Bay's offense here kind of in depth.

What is it about this defense that makes them a little vulnerable to tight ends? I mean, the numbers bear it out, Greg. I know Soren sends the guy. He's scrappy as hell. He's not a big man, though. No, and he's, that's probably the reason. they play man because when he's not a blitzer, which he is at times, he's the predominant tight-end matchup. Now, he's a good football player and he plays almost every snap every week. But there's no question that offenses feel that if he's the man-to-man matchup, which he predominantly is, as I said, that you can exploit that. Overall, Greg, what is your, what is your feeling on Tampa's offense? You know, as it relates to the spread, by the way, you know, a total of like 56. I'm kind of

wondering if this underwhelms a little bit, and it's not like a shootout, at least until maybe later in the game. I could see it being kind of slow, and then, and then second half things open up, but I'm not sure we hit this total. What's your gut feeling on Tampa's offense? I had this weird thing last night. I was actually watching Law & Order as for you. I'm now on season 15, episode 15, I've been grinding through, you know, so. Yeah. I know you guys wanted to know that. That was important to get out. I've never seen that show. You got to watch, that's a detective Olivia, right? You got to watch. Olivia Benson, Mercia Hartley, you know, you know, you know who Olivia Benson's mother is, right? Of course I do.

Come on, John. Jane Manfield. Come on, brother. Who do you think you're talking to? I mean, that was, that's my bad. Yeah, yeah. Come on. Come on. Come on. Now I can even know that. Now I can't even. Oh. So anyway, while I was watching it for you last night, I had this weird thought. I remember the Super Bowl where the Giants beat the Patriots and everybody, including myself, everybody picked, you know, a 34 to 31 game. And it ended up being, I believe, 1714. Wasn't that this 1714 game?

Yes, it was. That was a Ploxco Burris. Right, right. I remember I was in the stands on the side where he caught the touchdown. Nice. For that. It was, yeah. And they actually, Belichick went zero on that.

And it was Ellis Hobbs who played, who played the zero, as he should have. And it was a slant and go. But anyway, I digress. So I was starting to think, gee, what happens if this game is a little weird like that? And it doesn't turn out to be, you know, a high scoring game like most of us, including myself, are predicting. So I don't know if that's going to happen. I don't think it will.

But, you know, strange things happen in Super Bowls. Oh, absolutely. But what happened last year with the Chiefs? They had 10 points with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. They were tight. I mean, you know, they were too conservative, honestly. So Adam, I'm curious if Andy may be, because, man, I was thinking to myself during that game, man, if they lose, they're going to be really upset that they were conservative. You think in year two here, Andy?

Because he, you know, he kind of's got that de-gaff thing going now. It's like, you know what? I've already got my Super Bowl. Let's just go for it. Well, I love his aggressiveness. You know it's coming. The fourth quarter throw by Chad Henney, for example. Exactly.

But now we need to talk about this. I understand that Mike Remmers has been starting in a right tackle. He's been serviceable. Yeah. I remember him coming out of, I believe, Mississippi State. So wait, he's going to start. And isn't Remmer's going to play left tackle? Oh, are they going to do that? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's, Remmers is actually Greg been all right. Yeah. Well, but some might remember that Mike Remmers was the right tackle in the Super Bowl for Carolina when Von Miller was the MVP. Oh, boy. That is true. All the time ago.

Yeah. Not that long ago. I was at that one, too. That was in Santa Clara. But I think Rembrandt is playing left tackle and Rankins is going to go at right tackle. Are they going to do that? That's correct. I believe that's correct.

Gotcha. So, I mean, you know, that's, look, is it an issue? Sure it is because all five sacks in the NFC championship game three by Barra, two by JPP came at a four-man D-line rushes. And in that week 12 game, Todd Balls did not believe. much at all. That was a coverage game. And, you know, everybody just thinks Todd Bowles will blitz, blitz, blitz, well, I don't know if he's going to blitz, blitz, splits, splits. Now, Dean did not play in the week 12 game. He's obviously going to play in the Super Bowl. So we'll see.

Maybe Bowles is a little more situational and selective with his blitz, but I don't think you're going to just see all-out pressure because Mahomes is arguably the best second reaction quarterback in the game right now. True. But a coverage game, resulted in them giving up 13 catches. For 269 to Tyree Kill. Yeah. It seemed like all of them came in the first two minutes. You weighed 200-some odd yards in the first quarter.

I mean, it was the most absurd first quarter for a receiver I've ever seen in my life. I've been, you know, people keep asking me what Todd Bowles is going to do. I'm not that smart, John. I've been trying to figure out all week. I have no idea. I mean, I think that's a wait and see. I don't know what he's going to do. It will not be the same thing he did week 12.

I mean, to me, the game comes down. obviously the two-headed monster here, and we can get into how they'll likely try to double both. But, I mean, to me, probably the key to game is this old line for Casey and their ability to hold up. I know Patty can run here. Would you agree? I mean, where do you see the key to the game? If Tampa's D is going to slow these guys down. I mean, look, we've seen Bill Belichick over the years when he played the Mahomes offense.

He doubled Hill the entire game. There was one game where he'll just had one catch for 42 yards, on a play in which I I believe he was doubled, but he only had one catch. Now, that's because he felt very comfortable matching up man-to-man on Kelsey. I don't know, you know, there could be something extreme here. Maybe he doubles Hill all game and puts Carlton Davis on Kelsey. You know, when you have two weeks to play around and you bring in your entire scouting staff and you have, you know, 20 more people who are doing research and game planning,

things do change in a two-week period. So I don't know, you know, but it's going to be something different, maybe not on every play, but certainly in critical situations, that third down is one of those. John, I know talking the Eagles, when they play the Patriots in the Super Bowl, they have the two weeks that Greg's talking about, and they put in things. Philly Special is another one, obviously, but that's a different story. But they put in some stuff. They had not called since very early in the season because they wanted to give Belichick,

and by the way, they might have run it differently than they had earlier in the season. Because you want to give them something. Yes, they've seen everything at some point, but you want to make them think out there. You want to take them a little bit out of there. There might be four or five plays that you haven't run in a while. That's what you do in this two-week period here, man. I love the tactical game between Spags and Bowls. By the way, two former defense coordinators for the Eagles.

This Bulls is an interim. I mean, look, the Bucks did not play much dime throughout the season. Maybe they play a ton of dime and they double a lot and they say to the Chiefs, hey, if you want to hand it off, hand it off because you know what? It's not likely going to get a 60-yard testing. 1.8.8% dime they ran in the regular season. My God. Greg, well, you just outlined right there seems like a pretty good plan of action to me.

So, I mean, again, I'm just, you know, you guys would probably agree. I probably know a decent amount, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you. I know what Todd Bowles is going to do. I'm just trying to think of how you could potentially change up and match up, given that the last thing, and this is what I'm about to say now is not profound, so please. But the last thing you want to have happened is 60-yard touchdowns. So now you're doing everything to prevent that, and then you go from there. You could argue then that it's more important to double Tyreek and take your chances with Kelsey at times.

Yeah, that's why I said you could see situations where Tyreek is doubled. because when you double, you don't need your best corner as part of the double because you're putting two on him. So maybe, you know, you're doubling him and putting, like I said, Davis, who's a big corner or Dean who's a big corner on Kelsey and thinking, hey, that's a man-to-man matchup we feel comfortable with. Yeah, I was going to ask if there's any other, like, exotic, you know, situation slowing down Kelsey. I mean, getting Devin White involved. Well, the thing is, is the chief do something more than any team in the league. and that's lying Kelsey up at the boundary X.

Yes, true. So now you got to deal with that. And one way they dealt with it in the week 12 matchup was they played quarters coverage and left a corner man to man on Kelsey. So whichever corner was on the side that Kelsey was the single receiver, they left him. What they played was what we call four lock. It's quarters lock.

You're locking the boundary side of the formation man to man. They did some of that in the week 12 matchup. Will they do that again? I don't know. I mean, they could because their corners are big. You know, Davis and Dean are big corners. They could feel very comfortable locking Kelsey with a big corner. Just feels to me that, you know, if this was Belichick,

he'd be doubling those guys and taking his chances with secondary types for the case of chiefs. So where is there a matchup that someone might exploit? Then you got the Hardman. Then you got the Hardman because he's a vertical play. So you've got Hardman. And again, he's capable of the 60-yard touchdowns. So, you know, that becomes, I'm not saying he's the guy you focus your defense around you,

obviously not, not when you have Hill and Kelsey. But Hardman is capable, he's not a possession receiver. He's a big play guy. He's not a volume guy, but he's a big play guy. Greg, do you think back to the old line that there is a chance that Tampa, like, really controls a line of scrimmage with, you know, three starters and really, wreak some havoc and really become. Talking about their defense? Yeah, I mean, you got Vita Vaya, you got Sue. Well, that's going to be, that's going to have to happen because not only do you have

the JPP and Barrett versus Rankins and Rammers, but you've got Vea and Sue inside and they're very, very good. So yeah, they're going to have, you would think that their approach would be, let's start with a four-man pressure and we can, let's see how we handle that. And let's see how they handle that. But yeah, I think that would be the starting point. How did Veya, how did Vita Vaya come back from his injury? How does he look? Look good to me on TV. Yeah, I thought he looked pretty good. And it'll be even better this week. He has very light feet for a big man. I mean, he's not a big plotting, you know, he's not one of those just big guys in the middle. He's got light feet. Adam, I just have this gut feel similar to Greg. Maybe it was a dream. But maybe at some point in

this game, we'll get to the point. We'll be like, oh, that's right. Kansas City. he used the number one pick on Clyde over Delear and he's pretty damn talented. What are the chances that he surprises with a big showy in this game against a tough run, D? Yeah, I know, no. But when you ask that question, they haven't really done it. But the way to do it, you would think would be in the past game. I know the linebackers could run for the Bucks. I don't know it to be in this game, but at some point, you've got to get them involved in the past game because that's where the explosive plays are going to come for the run game.

they don't they're not getting you know big plays uh for by the way william should still be the backup even though bell's going to play darrow william just done a good job yeah yeah Greg uh i think for edwards allaire it's going to be critical his past protection and i'm not sure about that i don't know i feel like darrell williams might be a little bit more trustworthy than edwards alair he could well be i would agree with that um darrell williams has got three targets a game here to let in the playoffs i mean he's getting involved a little bit here um any other thoughts great on KC running the ball. I know, you know, they don't, you know,

wake up in the morning and look at the long of the ball. Here's my thought on that. Given that they were in the Super Bowl last year, okay? And Andy is, this is not his first rodeo. And my guess is he has utmost confidence in Mahomes. Mahomes is now a veteran of some big games, including a Super Bowl. I would not be surprised to see the Chiefs come out extremely aggressively

and try to get ahead. Yeah. 14-0-0, whatever it is, and just put this on Brady, because keep this in mind. We know Brady's great. That's not my point. But Brady is not a second-reaction player. Brady's not going anywhere. And if you can get ahead, then that blitz by Spags, he just starts to, you know, go after him.

And Brady is, and again, could Brady make plays? Of course he could. He's done that his whole career. But it would not surprise me to see Andy Reid come out really aggressively, even with a few I don't want to call them trick plays or gimmick plays, but something along those lines to really try to explode early in this game. I don't believe Andy Reid's going to come out and hand the ball off. Yeah, sure. They came out and did that funky formation early on last year.

And you're not, John, you're not going to be able to run against the bucks anyway. I mean, not in any meaningful. I mean, look, when we say they're not going to run it, as we said about the bucks, it doesn't mean that the chiefs will never hand the ball off. Right, right. but they're not going to be their overall approach. They're not going to have any success. Theoretically, that's not the way they're going to win. Real close game here.

Let me ask you both this question. And I know the answer, but which team has the better, is the better bet to win the game despite not having their best day at the office? That's got to be KC. Of course. Another way of saying, Greg and Adam, maybe Tampa,

I don't want to say they need to play a perfect game, but probably nearly flawless to merge with a win here. Pending. Capable of big plays, there's no question. They've got a quarterback and they've got receivers. So it's not as if they're not capable, John. Yeah. But yeah, I think that the, and again, this is nothing I'm saying here that that is amazing.

But I think Mahomes' ability to make off-script plays is such a big factor because he will get out of the pocket. and he will make off script plays. And we know that Brady can't do that. Yeah. No doubt, no doubt. That's why, you know, I think that Tampa's D has got to have a huge day. It's kind of like the Giants D against Brady. They need some turnovers.

Yeah. Well, at the end of the day, guys, I think that's what this, it's going to come down to non-predictive items like turnovers, pick six, you know, scoop and score, kind of a thing. I think we've covered pretty much every angle here. I mean, I don't think we've missed anything. And John, remember, I'm sorry, Adam, just real quick. Keep in mind that Hardman had that fumble in the ASC championship game.

Right back to it. And then they were down nine nothing. And then they have three straight drives in the second quarter. And all of a sudden it's 21-9. It's the onslaught. It's like a fast break. You can't. It's like the Laker fast break.

It's like Curry hitting five threes in about a minute. Yeah, right. That too. Right. You can't. You felt you're playing great. And all of a sudden, you're blitz. You're like, what the hell just happened?

It was like, what did the Chief score last year against the Texas seven straight touchdowns or something like that? They were down 24-0. It was unbelievable what they did. Yeah. Yeah, to your point, Doug, Greg, they should come out firing

because they have been slow starters. Yeah. And I think Andy now, you know, he's experienced, you know, he knows Mahomes. I mean, I can't see him coming out conservatively at all. Yeah. One name we didn't mention by the way.

John, that won't phase him at all. Oh, I know. One name we didn't really mention much as Sammy Watkins. I have no idea. He's expected to play, but I don't know what he's, yeah, I don't know what he's capable. I mean, he was a little bit of a hero last year. We don't know about Robinson as we speak.

So maybe it's a Byron Pringle game. Could be Pringle. Wrong, man. I like Pringle. I like Pringle. I like them coming out of K State. By the way, not for nothing, but, you know, Casey has nothing at backup tight end. I mean, God forbid Kelsey got hurt.

I mean, they got Nick Kaiser. I guess it's a role. Yeah, Yelder. Doesn't even wear a tight end number. He wears 48. Oh, is that right? Yes, he is. 48. I guess Ricky Seals Jones. Is he active? He's got he's go. I think he's on the practice squad,

something like that. Yeah, I know. But yeah, I think we kind of covered it all. I know our guy Ben Kucanis on the other side of the glass has got to run here. So we'll wrap it up here. And I'll be doing a player prop article. Who I look forward to that. Tom Broly, I'll get to working on that tomorrow at him. And we'll have it up tomorrow. I promise my family. I take him. We're going to out to dinner at a restaurant where we're going inside for the first. time of 10 months. So, yeah, you know, it's more hour to you. Yeah. I've not done that. I mean, yeah, we have, that's right. And I will appear on that. Ben, what time is that? We have a DFS and a 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock for the DFS and betting live streams. I'll be popping in

there and at least giving, you know, I actually have been really good picking, at least on the radio. I've picked, I think I'm like six and two the last two weeks picking spreads and totals and all that. I'm going Tampa, but it's got to be plus three and a half. Adam, do you want to make a pick, by the way, before we sign off? Yeah, I got it. I have it. The Bucks 24, the Chiefs 30. Okay.

And by the way, the weather's going to be fine for the game. It's clearing up. They're going to have storms in the afternoon. It's going to clear up beautifully in the evening. Thank you. Meteorologist Adam Kaplan. Yeah, well, people are getting scared with all the damn weather. Come on, folks.

So you got Casey winning by six? Yes. Okay. Greg, I won't even ask you. I know you're not a prediction guy, but. Well, I did have to predict. So all right. Well, let's hear it.

Because I had to predict for ESPN. So I went 3427. She's. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Yeah, that's fair. I pick this game in the, before the playoffs started. I picked Tampa and KC to make it here.

And I actually did pick KC, but I'm still going to go back to Tampa. But I got to admit, I don't feel one. about it. I think they have to play the perfect game. But those O-line issues for KC has kind of put it over the top for me. It's a little bit concerned. Building the perfect beast. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be a great game, though. No doubt about it. Adam and I will be on the radio tomorrow, breaking it down. Greg will come on here. But again, Sunday at, what is it? 620. No, no, Sunday. Yeah, the game, but the live streams, was that 11 and 12 or no, no, it was 1 and 2. One and two. One and two. All right, Ben. For Adam Kaplan.

and Greg Kosell for the last time for the 2020 campaign. Enjoy the Super Bowl. This has been the Fantasy Points Matchup LiveStream at FantasyPoint.com.
