I want to talk about the usage that we saw in the conference championship, how that's going to impact based on defensive schemes in the Super Bowl, because that's going to help us get an idea for player props, for betting in general, and for DFS, Daily Fantasy Sports, the showdown slates.

All that's going to be really important to deep dive on this.

And we can. the luxury of doing that because there's just two teams one game the big hurrah the final one the big old

bowl the cereal bowl the super bowl so let's do it not now but right now and let's start at the running

back position for usage for this one we'll start on Cincinnati side so what you saw in this game was

two running backs used it was Joe mixon as you would expect right he sees 75% of the snaps and samajie p ryan

the former Oklahoma product I believe he sees 75% of the snaps. And Samaji Pryan, the former Oklahoma product, I believe,

he sees 25% of the snaps. Now, you've been seeing Mix and see 80, 85% of the snaps in the first

two, or opportunities in the first two playoff games. And in this last game, you might have thought,

oh, wow, Somagy P. Ryan started to carve out a roll for himself. Not necessarily. P. Ryan saw zero touches on the

ground. He only saw 14% of the opportunities because he saw four targets. Now you saw him break

that long screen touchdown. You saw him have another catch and the announcers were like,

hey, if he would have cut to the outside, he might have scored another touchdown or picked up a

first down. But for the most part, it was three catches catches 43 yards in a touchdown 41 of which came on that screen touchdown so two catches two yards otherwise it was still the joe mixon show 86% opportunity

share for mixon in this game in the conference championship and basically this all whole post

season would have been number two in the NFL during the regular season only behind nausea

heirs he has been an elite running back number three finished the year in rushing yards he is

still getting all the usage in the world.

It's at least worth mentioning, though, that P.

and Ryan is out there for 25% of the snaps.

P. Ryan did run 13 routes.

So above a 30% target rate for running backs, like a backup like Pryan.
