But joining us right now on the show. And I'd be honest, great betting analyst,

fantastic betting analyst. I think I like him more as a person. That's a tremendous compliment.

He's not a great guy. He's massive sports fan, not just like, like something, you meet some

betters. I don't even like sports. Jay is a massive sports fan. And last week, like something. You meet some betters. I don't even like sports.

Jay is a massive sports fan. And last week, he was supposed to come on at 620. I never forget things like this. He's supposed to come on at 620. Michael Parsons gets traded at 5 o'clock. At 520, Jay Croucher joins us on You Better, You Bet, because he is a true professional. on Twitter a Croucher, JD, NBC Sports Betting Analyst, Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Barry, Connor Rogers and company. And his hair's looking good today, man. Welcome back to the show, buddy. Happy football season. Happy football season, guys. Thank you, Nick. There's a lovely intro. Usually it's the other way. Usually people are like really good, better, could improve as a person. But I'm

glad that you feel that the roles are reversed. And yeah, I did get a haircut. Told them to leave

a little bit more on top this time. And I'm, yeah, happy with the outcome. I think the hair,

the hair looks good. We absolutely love that. Before we get to awards bets, let's clear tonight. How are you betting

the season opener J tonight with the Eagles and the Cowboys? Yeah, so it's my strongest opinion

about this game and really a macro thing for the Eagles this season is I just don't think

they're going to run the ball as much as they did last year because they basically can't run anymore than they did last year.

They were towards, they were effectively bottom of the league in terms of pass rate over expectations.

Saquan Barkley regular season and postseason combined had north of 480 touches.

He's going to turn 29 this season.

I just don't think that can be replicated.

And also I just don't think that can be replicated. And also,

I just don't think when you have, you know, Jalen Hertz, a quarterback, A.J. Brown, Devonte Smith, at receiver, I just don't think you need to run the ball that much. So I think that the Eagles are going to throw the ball more. I think that's going to be a balance in between, say, 2024 and in23 when AJ Brown was sniffing 1,500 receiving yards
