With my last pick and my best ball draft that I'm doing right now, then we're going to start. What best ball draft are you doing right now? I got playoff drafts. Oh, on Underdog? Yeah. Cool. What are you going to take with your last pick? What's your build? Let's see. What is my build build i've got four chiefs two rams two 49ers so the chiefs rams super bowl do you try to like rig it like do you try to play the playoff

seedings when you do your teams or you're just like now i'm just going to stack up teams i think

you're going to go to the super bowl like if you have 49ers and rams if the Rams beat the Lions, then they would play the 49ers in the next round. Well, you know, it really, it really depends, right? It depends on, in general, I would just say, I try and get the teams that I think are going to the Super Bowl. I try and get as many 49ers as I can every time I do it. But the way the structure is sometimes you might need the Rams points just in the first round to advance because obviously the 49ers don't play in the first round. So you'll need a lot of points to get 49ers players to the next round. It's funny. I haven't played any like I don't play't play best ball anyway, but I am, I really don't like, and I know you love it, and I know that there are people who love it, like the season long, from February to August, let's talk about all of the optimal strategies and all that shit. I actually find, like, this, even thinking about that, because I hadn't really thought about playoff best ball at all. It's way more interesting. This is like you can really come up with some decent strategies here. Like I think that there's a decent case. Now, obviously it's not going to work every single time to just say we're not taking any 49ers and we're not taking any Ravens because they're not going to play the, they have no ability to play four games that you say I'm going into 150 drafts or whatever

the max is and you're just like screw it I'm not taking any Ravens any 49ers and I will

load up on Cowboys or I think that the Browns beat the Browns or Texans beat the Ravens in

the second round so I'm just going to load up on whatever team that I think is going to win that game, I'll load up on them to try to get the path where I get eight full games out of my stacks. Like, that's interesting, I think. But then you have to play like the brackets, the seating bracket, or not the bracket, but like the reseeding, so you get the right people. I had someone comment on my spread pick show this week. They called, uh, they called us real casuals for football

because we thought that there was reseeding in the second round and it wasn't just a bracket.

That's like confidently incorrect. I don't know shit. I, I am, I'm just, I, I, I actually don't know who plays who in the next round.

It receives.

The Niners will play the lowest remaining seat.

It's not a bracket.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
