00:00All right, let's take a look at some props,
00:01courtesy of our very own Joe Pizzapia.
00:04Joe, give us some props that you like this week in the NFL.
00:07Well, we have to start, of course, in Arizona with the Detroit Lions,
00:11a team that can't stop anybody in a total that no matter how high you set it,
00:15I'm probably going to still take the over.
00:17There's just no defense.
00:18There's no tackling.
00:19There's nothing, which means there'll probably be 10-3, right?
00:22That's the way the NFL has gone this year.
00:24But I'm going to try to continue to invest against the Detroit Lions off defense
00:29because it's been working the entire season.
00:32We did it on the show with Garrett Wilson.
00:33We did it with Ted Rowe and McMillan.
00:34We're going to do it again this week with one Michael Wilson.
00:3772-1⁄2 receiving yards.
00:38Let's go the over.
00:40We know Marvin Harrison Jr. is not active for this game,
00:42but really does it matter at the end of the day?
00:45What we've seen so far in the Detroit Lions secondary is that without Branch,
00:49without Joseph, they are just a mess,
00:50and they can't seem to scheme around it or figure it out
00:53or get new personnel in, and they know it's a problem.
00:56It's not like it's sneaking up on them.
00:58But it's been absolutely a hot mess,
01:00a complete unmitigated disaster for the Lions,
01:02and Michael Wilson is going to take advantage of it.
01:05And this is a guy that they paid in the offseason,
01:06and Brissette has a good rapport with,
01:08and I just think the Lions will do their job.
01:10They'll put a point.
01:10They'll keep pushing that total.
01:12And at the end of the day, that means good news for Michael Wilson
01:15and continuing to get peppered with targets.
01:17The next guy on the list is one that is just a Jekyll and Hyde.
01:20Without Nico Collins, C.J. Stroud is just not good.
01:24With Nico Collins, it's a whole different player.
01:26And against the Tennessee Titans,
01:29a team that I think you can throw the ball against here,
01:31I'm going to go ahead with C.J. Stroud and the over on his passing yards.
01:35239 and a half is that number.
01:37Now, C.J. Stroud obviously has still struggled a little bit
01:41when he's going against teams that really put good pressure on you.
01:45I don't know if the Titans are that team,
01:47but just for context as well, he's gone over this number.
01:50Three of the four games he's played.
01:52The only time he didn't was against Indianapolis,
01:54where he just put 167 up.
01:56But 274, 353, 347, those are some big numbers.
01:59Quietly, C.J. Stroud is having a pretty good fantasy season.
02:02I know it's been ugly sometimes,
02:04and certainly the win-loss record has been atrocious so far
02:06for the winless Titans, excuse me, for the winless Texans.
02:10But they will get on the board against the Titans this week,
02:12and I do think C.J. Stroud with 239 and a half going over
02:16will be a big part of that.
02:17We've seen Jalen Knoll start to work into that offense a little bit too.
02:19And frankly, the run game has been just lackluster, to say the least.
02:23So it's going to be on C.J. Stroud to go continue to push the football.
02:26And last but certainly not least,
02:28the guy that's really only being outscored by Ken Walker,
02:33JSN, Gibbs, and Bijon Robinson,
02:36it's Brock Bowers, 24.2 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues.
02:41And he's going against the secondary.
02:43He's got all kinds of problems with Christian Gonzalez out for the Patriots.
02:48So 72 and a half receiving yards for Brock Bowers,
02:50throwing the touchdown to put it together as a tandem bet.
02:53You get some nice plus money on that.
02:54Bowers for a touchdown plus 130 in this game.
02:57I love that.
02:58Bowers has just been an absolute monster this year
03:00since returning from injury.
03:03Kirk Cousins knows how to utilize a tight end.
03:05We've seen that in the past from him.
03:06Look, you saw even when he had Kyle Pitts, right?
03:08Kyle Pitts was useful with Kirk Cousins.
03:10Not so much without Kirk Cousins,
03:12but Brock Bowers is just definitively that guy.
03:15And when you have Ashton Genting, not 100% in this game.
03:18And on top of that,
03:19you have a wide receiver core that is mid at best.
03:22Brock Bowers is going to be the main target.
03:24Once again,
03:25I would consider him for a guy.
03:27You could even ladder bet potentially in this game up to a hundred.
03:30I see a lot of Brock Bowers,
03:31a lot of frustrated Patriots on defense trying to stop him.
03:34Cause I don't know if anybody in the league,
03:35Craig has an answer for the problem that is Brock Bowers.
03:40So Wilson over 72 and a half Stroud over 239 and a half hours over 72 and a half.
03:47Those are Joe's picks today on the Sunday morning crunch.
