We're back on the early edge and it's time to attack the prop market with Larry Hartstein, Danny Brasco.

0:08.9

And Mike McClure, who joins the party, let's get started with some passing props.

0:13.3

And what I love about these is obviously we don't discuss these plays beforehand.

0:17.0

But Mike, you're not my prop correlate with each other.

0:20.4

And Larry, you and Danny have props that correlate with each other as well. So Mike, you're not my prop correlate with each other. And Larry, you and Dany

0:21.4

have props that correlate with each other as well. So Mike, kick us off here with a Matthew

0:25.8

Stafford under. Yeah, Matthew Stafford under on attempts here. See you under 33 and a half, 34.

0:32.5

There are many scenarios that he doesn't touch this number. The games where I think he does

0:36.7

is ones where they're

0:38.0

really, really competitive and potentially even trailing at any point. But the fact is that that's

0:43.8

probably not where they're going to be tonight. I think we get a more conservative running

0:48.1

approach. I also think there's a scenario where some of the play calling could be limited in

0:53.6

terms of throwing the football tonight.

0:55.2

I know that they do have a little bit to play for, but not a lot to play for.

0:58.6

They are still guaranteed to play a road playoff game locked into that wildcard round,

1:03.6

no matter what happens the rest of the way.

1:06.7

Considering the fact that DeVante Adams already beat up, Pooka Naku has been in and out of the blue tent very, very frequently.

1:13.4

This is a spot where historically Sean McVeigh has opted to be a little more conservative and just flat out rest players to begin with.

1:19.9

So I think we could see some running between the 20s, maybe still let Stafford throw a touchdown pass or two for that MVP race, but under on the pass attempts here at 33 and a half. Yeah, I agree with this sentiment in large part. I think Matthew Stafford's going to play all four quarters unless this is a blowout. But I also agree with you, Mike, that we're going to see a lot of running, particularly between the 20s. As far as the MVP race is concerned, I totally agree he's going to fling some touchdown passes. And when they get close, they're going to be more inclined like they usually are to pass the ball. I'm taking Matthew Stafford's under 274.5 passing yards. I think this is just way too high. We know Matthew Stafford can do it, but I think we're going to see a lot of Blake Quorum and Karen Williams. Stafford will get his touchdown passes and he'll probably get in that 250 range from a yardage standpoint. 274.5 is just way too much for me. Larry, let's go to you. You've got a Kurt Cousins prop. Yeah, over 32 and a half pass attempts. The opponents of the Rams are throwing the ball nearly 70% of the time the last three weeks because they do have a top 10 run defense and they usually get off to

2:20.2

a lead and you have to throw are throwing the ball nearly 70% of the time the last three weeks because they do have a top

2:17.8

10 run defense and they usually get off to a lead and you have to throw in this game

2:22.4

sees the Falcons suiting up as more than touchdown underdogs and Kirk is playing good football
