00:03 I'm right here on Saturday on College Football Today.

00:05 It's ball seats, baby.

00:14 One of the first states to legalize sports betting.

00:16 And finally, quietly, legalizing the online portion.

00:21 And that, of course, is Delaware.

00:23 Delaware offered Carly cards through their lottery

00:25 for years.

00:26 And the local retailers didn't want to lose that money.

00:30 They didn't want to lose the guys that

00:31 were coming in to fill out those Carly cards.

00:33 And they're buying some beef jerky and chips on the way out

00:36 of the store as well.

00:49 They were saying there's no way.

00:51 He could not possibly do this.

00:52 He won't hold out.

00:53 Pro League soccer powered by--

00:55 --the best scoring teams in the league.

00:57 They have 80 goals so far.

00:59 College Football Today.

01:01 The Hawks' team total in the first half is 0.50.5.

01:06 Pro Football Today.

01:07 Interesting drops in this game.

01:09 But I would be cautious playing this number here

01:11 with the Houston Texans.

01:12 In-game live, all access.

01:14 You see that in the NFC in terms of these wild cards

01:16 and in terms of the playoff.

01:17 In-game live, primetime.

01:20 Rich, I don't know, man.

01:22 This has just been one of those games

01:24 that doesn't make a lick of sense here.

01:25 In-game live, overtime.

01:27 Want to give the over 3 to 1 on a pretty good team.

01:30 It's hard not to take some flyers.

01:31 Football full circle.

01:33 Well, NFL officials stink.

01:35 They always will stink and they'll always ruin the game.

01:37 That's just part of it is.

01:47 Welcome back into FSD Fantasy Sports Today.

02:08 Matt and Joe with you here carrying over a conversation

02:10 from in the break, talking about the ability,

02:13 having small children, to go to certain places during the week

02:15 when most people are at their obligations versus being

02:18 forced to go on weekends.

02:19 Joe and I joke, how many divorces

02:21 happen on some of these highways,

02:22 out of some of these amusement places on a Sunday?

02:26 Oh, gosh, could you imagine?

02:28 Well, we don't want divorce.

02:29 We want marriage.

02:30 And what we like to do here is when

02:31 we build up our DFS lineups, we always

02:34 talk about the marriage between season-long fantasy, DFS,

02:38 straight up wagering.

02:39 Just winning and understanding the games,

02:41 understanding which players are up against which matchup,

02:44 it helps on all levels.

02:46 That's why it's smarter here.

02:47 Honestly, it's not just a catchphrase.

02:49 It really does work.

02:51 So let's do some work.

02:52 Starting at running back here, let's

02:53 start with the obvious name.

02:55 Everyone knows it, so fine.

02:56 Christian McCaffrey, 11 even on FanDuel, 9,600 on DK.

03:01 And again, for the new member of the audience, Joe,

03:03 you'll quickly tell them the difference between FanDuel

03:05 and DK and why these prices matter

03:07 or why you should just stay away.

03:09 Woof, go.

03:10 Yeah, look, it's 11K.

03:12 It's the most expensive it's been.

03:14 And you're going to hear me say something

03:15 I haven't said in a few weeks, which is I'm buying.

03:17 I'm buying against the Washington Commanders.

03:19 That defense is not good.

03:21 And you saw what Breeze hauled into them last week.

03:23 I can't even fathom what Christian McCaffrey

03:25 is capable of.

03:26 I also think McCaffrey has something interesting sitting

03:29 in front of him right now, which is if the Miami Dolphins should

03:33 beat the Ravens, which is not an impossibility today,

03:36 the MVP race goes into chaos again.

03:39 And the name that I keep coming back to is Christian McCaffrey.

03:42 I think that the only guy pillar to post, to borrow a phrase

03:46 that you might enjoy, has been Christian McCaffrey all season.

03:49 Brock Purdy has had his ups and downs.

03:51 Even Lamar Jackson, as good as he's been,

03:53 has Lamar Jackson been the dominant force in the NFL?

03:55 I don't think so.

03:56 I think there's only one dominant force in the NFL

03:58 from week one to week 17 right now,

04:01 and I think it's Christian McCaffrey.

04:02 And the difficulty here is the price.

04:04 So we have to find some salary relief.

04:08 We have to find some ways in order to make this work.

04:10 But you can.

04:11 You can make it work.

04:12 And I think today you're looking at a possibility

04:14 where he could approach 200 all-purpose yards in this game,

04:17 receiving and rushing combined.

04:19 If you look right now at what his prop is over on, say,

04:22 FanDuel, you're getting a combination of 124 and 1/2.

04:26 And I am well over that.

04:29 I think that is a number.

04:30 And you wonder as well, is 200 all-purpose yards really

04:33 hot take?

04:33 It is.

04:34 He hasn't done it all year.

04:35 So this would be the opportunity to do that.

04:37 And I think the game script would go that way also,

04:40 where 49ers are up.

04:42 49ers are going to run the football.

04:43 49ers are going to basically, I think,

04:45 get up early in this game.

04:46 I think it's going to be explosive and early.

04:48 And I think Christian McCaffrey could

04:49 have himself a very special day, because he's

04:51 chasing some history too.

04:52 And I think this combination here of us all collectively

04:56 in the media, so to speak, is that I

04:58 guess that's what we're part of at this point in our careers,

05:01 that the media is finding ways--

05:04 well, I mean, it's fine, whatever you want to call us,

05:06 as long as you call us at the end of the day.

05:08 But I think that you're looking at--

05:10 Brock Purdy was a guy that everybody

05:12 was looking for excuses not to give him that award.

05:14 And then he gave four excuses last week

05:16 on Christmas with all those interceptions of why

05:18 you don't give him that award.

05:20 And then Lamar Jackson is kind of like the default, well,

05:22 it's a quarterback.

05:23 You've got to give it to a quarterback.

05:24 I don't know if we have to give it to a quarterback this year.

05:27 I think at the end of the day, we're looking around.

05:29 And if there's no clear-cut person,

05:30 then you go with the guy that's got 20-plus touchdowns.

05:32 You go with the guy who has been carrying

05:34 one of the teams with the best record from week one till now.

05:37 And Christian McCaffrey is that guy.

05:39 Again, I would go over on the individual rushing props,

05:41 over on the receiving props, over on the combination, too.

05:44 The combination, to me, is the best bet on the board.

05:46 It's minus 114, so it's a little bit of juice.

05:49 But still, 124 and 1/2, I mean, he

05:51 could have this just in the rushing alone this week.

05:54 So you're not asking a whole lot.

05:55 So to me, don't even worry about the rushing and the receiving.

05:58 Go right for the combination.

05:59 And I think I'm even going to pay for this.

06:01 And if you look at this 10-5 to 11 salary,

06:05 basically, he's been the last few weeks,

06:07 he's only returned this value one time.

06:09 And it was against Arizona.

06:10 I think it's going to be more like that.

06:11 He had 39 points that week.

06:13 He had 72 receiving yards on five catches, 115 rushing yards

06:18 on 18 carries.

06:19 He also had three touchdowns.

06:21 I think it's going to look a lot more like that.

06:23 And I think this is that game where you do pay up for him.

06:25 And a lot of people won't.

06:27 They're going to fade them automatically

06:28 because of the price.

06:28 And that's even more reason in tournaments to do it too.

06:31 So I'm in on CMC in week 17.

06:33 I will pay the price, regardless of the fact

06:36 that it is super expensive.
