00:00I'm glad you brought Mike Evans into the conversation because, I will say this, they always try

00:09to make sure that they can get him as close as possible to collecting another 1,000-yard

00:12season.

00:13Typically, they do.

00:15They figure it out.

00:16When it comes to Mike Evans versus the Eagles, though, there's always some sort of spectacular

00:20play.

00:21It's just been the script.

00:23There's a chunk play, there's a massive play that Mike Evans gets done for his team.

00:28In 2021, it was probably the lowest production he had, 27 receiving yards.

00:32He was targeted four times, had two receptions.

00:34Outside of that, he's averaging 60 to 80 receiving yards.

00:38When the numbers come out, maybe keep that in mind.

00:41He's had a receiving touchdown in three out of the four matchups, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2023.

00:47You could potentially even look at a Mike Evans tutty when it comes to Sunday versus

00:51the Eagles.

00:52I had to whip that out.

00:53I covered this team for so long, I had to have my approach to it.

00:57I know Dave and Adam are going to give me crap about it and probably bet a whole bunch

00:59of over-unders.

01:00How many times am I bringing that up?

01:01Well, I brought it up tonight, gentlemen, so enjoy.

01:04But I like Mike Evans to have himself a day versus the Eagles.

01:07He's on the healthy side.

01:08He's going to help this team out.

01:10Also, Chris Godwin, if his reception is coming in anywhere between 50 and 60 receiving yards,

01:16I would hit the over on it.

01:18He's sitting between 53 to 63 on average, so I think that's something else that he can

01:22collect on to help the Bucs team move through.

01:25But like you said, Tom, we can only look so far into props right now, especially because

01:29most of these matchups, depending on the time of the day or the level of the matchup, they

01:33don't even have anything out when it comes to the players.

01:36We still have to get a number of injury reports released before we can confirm anything moving

01:40forward.

01:41But I think it'll be a big matchup.

01:42I know it's important for the Bucs to win this one before going head-to-head with the

01:45Falcons.

01:46You've got a number of teams trying to make a case in the NFC South, so we can't solely

01:50rely on the Bucs and Baker Mayfield.

01:52The Saints are making a big case for themselves.

01:53The Falcons actually look good defensively, as well as matching pace offensively.

01:58So a lot more to get into.

02:00We've got a few more games that we're going to run through before we close out tonight

03:51What in the world is going on?

03:53There is not going to be a better place, I promise you, than Game Time Decisions.

03:57We will have everything at our disposal, and we will use that to our advantage.

04:01I'm Kevin Walsh.

04:02Tune in to Game Time Decisions from 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern on SportsGrid.

04:06Crewe Crewe has already quenched the National League sentiment.

04:10They're two games behind L.A., that being the Dodgers, trying to maybe get the second

04:15seed in the National League standings for October.

04:18Both of these teams have a chance to score some runs against these pitching matchups,

04:21so maybe another over, even though we do have a playoff atmosphere.

04:24And yes, Milwaukee did clinch, but there's still an eye on the prize of, we might be

04:27able to chase down the Dodgers and also the Phillies to get one of those buys.

04:31The early line, only on SportsGrid.

04:51All right, one more round to rip here at Pro Football today.

05:04The postgame show with Casey Hudson, Tom Vecchio.

05:06Let's get right into it.

05:07We got the Jaguars taking on the Texans, 6 1⁄2 on the spread, 45 1⁄2 when it comes

05:12to the over-under.

05:13What are your thoughts breaking down here, Tom?

05:16Tanked out, not expected to play for the Texans.

05:20I tweeted out the other day that I let Nico Collins over, I think it's 78 1⁄2 receiving

05:25yards.

05:26Now Nico Collins pops up with a hamstring on the injury report.

05:29This could be another big Steph Diggs game, as we saw last week when he was in Minnesota.

05:33Joe Mixon, not expected to play.

05:35So this should leave Cam Akers as the back, would also put Dario Gumbawale as the backup.

05:40Jags, it has to be a big Trevor Lawrence game or their season is sunk at this point.

05:46Bet on Trevor Lawrence to have yards because we saw Sam Darnold tear apart the Texans defense

05:51and then just, I don't know, bet against the Jags every other game if they can't put it

05:55up because their season would be over.

05:57Yeah, just about.

05:58And plus some bang-ups on their secondary as well.

06:00Keep that in mind.

06:01Moving forward to the Steelers versus the Colts, 1 1⁄2 spread here, 39 1⁄2 on the

06:05over-under total.

06:06Let's get into this one.

06:08Something I'm not going to say often, I never say this often, but I love Najee Harris this

06:13week.

06:14We have seen what teams have done to this Colts run defense, which is bad.

06:19Josh Jacobs, huge game against the Colts when they were in Lambeau.

06:22Joe Mixon, huge game against the Colts in Week 1.

06:25Jalen Warren is listed as questionable, not expected to play for Pittsburgh.

06:29Najee Harris is going to have 17, 18, 19, 20 carries.

06:32He's going to go for 80 plus yards.

06:34Najee Harris game, but not throwing in a super high rate with Justin Fields.

06:37Run the ball against a team that can't stop the run.

06:40Very simple.

06:41Very simple.

06:43I like it.
