00:00I saw Stafford's completions at 21-and-a-half.
00:05Does that go down in your mind now, Scott, without Puka?
00:08Because he could have taken 12 shots to Puka alone.
00:11So what are you thinking?
00:12If we're getting there, maybe an under 21-and-a-half at this point
00:18with no Puka.
00:20Yeah, maybe, believe it or not, maybe an over, Joe,
00:23in that Puka is the guy that goes deep.
00:26And as I was saying,
00:27I don't think they're going to be throwing the ball deep.
00:29So what does that mean?
00:30It means a lot of short passes, a lot of dump-off to the running backs.
00:34You know, you could accumulate 22 receptions pretty easily
00:37when you're gaining four, five, six, seven yards of reception
00:39versus, you know, when you're throwing the ball down the field,
00:42you're getting 20 to 30 yards of reception.
00:44So I wouldn't, if you like the over, I wouldn't shy away from that.
00:48I do think they're going to try it on the ball.
00:49That doesn't feel like a lot, though, right?
00:51No, it really does.
00:5121-and-a-half doesn't feel like a lot.
00:53Yeah, I mean, most guys, it's like four-fifths, you know,
00:58maybe three-fifths of your attempts.
01:01So if you think he's going to throw the ball 28 times,
01:04we'll say, is he going to get 22 receptions or completions?
01:08I would say yes.
01:09I think they're going to throw the ball 30 times.
01:13So, you know, come hook and hook.
01:14Why not?
01:15Yeah.
01:16Yep.
01:16I don't mind that at all here.
01:18I think, you know, we're not, and I'm thinking about it.
01:19That's not a bad way to go.
01:21And we've always seen Stafford, and I think he averages about 21-22 a game.
01:28But he's also a guy that bounces back very well.
01:33And we've only seen that.
01:34How long has he been playing now?
01:3618 years?
01:3615 years?
01:37How long has he been playing?
01:38Stafford.
01:39It seems like it.
01:39Yeah.
01:40He doesn't often have back-to-back awful games,
01:44which is another reason why I'm thinking I would expect the good version
01:48of the Rams here tonight.
01:50It doesn't mean that it's good enough to win.
01:52It just means that this is going to be, I think,
01:55a much better game for Stafford here tonight.
01:58How does this game correlate, though, Scott?
02:01That's the other big thing.
02:02Does it correlate to an over if the Rams win and an under if the Giants win,
02:07or does it not matter, you think?
02:11Yeah, I don't think it's a good question.
02:14I don't think there is one.
02:16I could see the Rams winning and just winning 30-14,
02:21and the game goes over.
02:23That would go under.
02:24But you know what I mean.
02:2531-17, the game goes over.
02:28But I could see them running the ball and winning 28-14,
02:33the game going under.
02:34And I don't know if necessarily Giants would win in a high-scoring game.
02:38I wouldn't parlay Giants and over.
02:41I think in order for them to win, they've got to keep a low-scoring,
02:45control the clock, run the ball, you know, as they tried to do last week.
02:49But Rams could be either way.
02:50But I think Giants would be the under.
02:52But, you know, when you're getting 6-1⁄2, it still could go over.
02:55Here's his completions, by the way, last year.
02:57Throw out last week's game.
02:59Remember, they called off the dogs and everything last week, right?
03:01So, last year, 25-22, 29-24, 22-18.
03:08There you go.
03:08They lost to Carolina.
03:0925-24, 24-21, 17-30, 29-19.
03:17They lost to Philly 23-21.
03:20So, that 21-1⁄2 is a pretty low number.
03:23You're right.
03:24That's, you know, he's only missed that from last year only a handful of times.
