| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, welcome into the Early Edge NFL Prop Show, Week 5 edition. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm Claudia Velafato here in the CBS Sports HQ Florida Studios. |
| 0:11.7 | And today is a very special day because not only am I joined by our uncle Dave Richards, |
| 0:17.0 | we also have Sia in studio. |
| 0:19.0 | Hey, see ya. |
| 0:19.9 | Hi, how are you? |
| 0:20.5 | It's good to be here. How are you doing? I'm doing very well. I was here for week one as well. I remember. Yeah, here for week four now, week five. You should know what week it is. It's funny. I just told you. We're off to a bad start. It's okay. Sorry, everybody. It's Friday. We're going to power through. If that's the only mistake that we make this week, it's going to be a really good week. |
| 0:40.5 | Yeah. |
| 0:40.9 | And I have a feel. It's okay. Sorry, everybody. It's Friday. We're going to power through. If that's the only mistake that we make this week, it's going to be a really good week. |
| 0:40.5 | Yeah. |
| 0:40.9 | And I have a feeling it's going to be a good week. Before we get to this week, though, we got to look back on the week that was. We don't look. No, no, no, Dave, we have to. Let's take a look at week four and how everybody did. |
| 0:53.7 | And Dave didn't want to get to it because he went 0 and 4. |
| 0:56.0 | But hey, this game of betting, it's ebbs, it's flows, prop stars. He has a lot of flows. He's doing pretty good. 13 and 9 overall in the season. Me and Sia 5 and 8, 5 and 9. Dave, I'm going to give you your soapbox right here. Tell us how you're feeling and you've been doing this a while how do you bounce back from a week I don't know if I need a soapbox or a dumpster but I need to be thrown in one of the two look when you have a bad week you have a bad week I even cursed Malik neighbors now he's out for the year because I took the over on his yardage. The best thing you can do |
| 1:28.6 | is remember two things. One, you don't have to bet like crazy. You can be selective and I always |
| 1:33.1 | recommend that. And number two, just go back to basics. Take the props that just involve players |
| 1:38.9 | that you feel comfortable with, the players that you can count on. Don't go chasing after |
| 1:43.0 | random players. Go with guys that are |
| 1:45.2 | going to play a lot. And I did that this week. So I only have four picks. I'm taking it easy again. But I feel like I've got some good ones. If you like what I say, you can tell. If not, you want to go against me? That works too. As long as you feel good. That's what matters the most. And I do want to bring in prop stars Alex sales next. Sorry, Alex. I didn't mean to not bring you in off the top there. |
| 2:03.9 | Let me come over to feel good. That's what matters the most. And I do want to bring in prop stars Alex. Sorry, Alex, |
| 2:01.5 | I didn't mean to not bring you in off the top there. Let me come over to you real quick before we |
| 2:05.9 | head into our week five picks running through all our favorite passing, rushing, and receiving. |
| 2:10.7 | How do you bounce back, although you didn't have a bad week, a bad week like our Uncle Dave had? |
