00:00Justin Fields kept his job.

00:05That's a little more surprising just based on the chatter we were hearing.

00:10I don't know if maybe he gets benched in this football game, Don, and this whole thing is

00:14a mess.

00:15What have you made of Raider Steelings?

00:16Here's what I like about it, though, because I think Justin Fields understands that he

00:20has to play not just to win the football game, Kevin, he has to actually play to excel.

00:25Like, I'm the reason why we won this football game.

00:27So I took a flyer today.

00:28Justin Fields over 177.5 passing yards against that Raiders defense, knowing that he has

00:33to keep his job.

00:34I also took a flyer, and this is a little bit longer, minus 188 price for an anytime

00:38touchdown pass at a Justin Fields.

00:40It's expensive, but it's just one.

00:42I'm trying to play it the opposite of the scenario that many people want.

00:46Justin Fields struggles first quarter and a half.

00:48Raiders have a 7-3 lead.

00:49Oh, no, here comes Russell Wilson in the door.

00:51I'm just looking at it, Joe, from my way, the way I would play it as a quarterback.

00:54I got to be perfect today.

00:56I'm going to try to push the football.

00:57Come over to the dark side, the contrarian side.

01:00That's it, baby.

01:01I like the Steelers here in this matchup.

01:02I really do.

01:03I think the Steelers are the more complete team.

01:05Again, we talked about it on Thursday night that if the Steelers...

01:08There's no way that's the contrarian side of the game.

01:11He's on a heater.

01:12Come on.

01:13I agree with you, Joe.

01:14Go ahead.

01:15You're saying the Steelers or Fields are the contrarian side?

01:16Fields.

01:17Oh, okay, okay, okay.

01:18I just broke your momentum.

01:19It's all right.

01:20But we talked about it on Thursday night, okay, that if Justin Fields wins that game,

01:25there is no quarterback controversy for the most part?

01:28Right.

01:29Well, we did say that they wouldn't be talking and clamoring for his job as much.

01:33But unfortunately, Dak Prescott pulls the game out, and they're on the road.

01:37I do feel that it's a breakout performance for Fields as well.

01:40But to Donnie's point, the reason why I was all perked up, I love the over here.

01:4536 and a half, I think we get a lot of points.

01:47I think the Steelers can run it.

01:49They can throw it.

01:50And Aiden O'Connell, I think, can move the football.

01:52We saw Brock Powers break out with a 97-yard performance, the touchdown.

01:56I think he can eat today from Las Vegas, plus 260-anytime touchdown.

02:02So I think we're going to get points here.

02:04In the end, I still believe Steelers are the right side, laying a field goal on the road,

02:08I believe, more than Justin Fields, obviously, than I do Aiden O'Connell.

02:13But I think both offenses will look to push a little bit of tempo.

02:15And the way Dallas put up 350 on that secondary, maybe those Raiders-wide receivers can eat

02:21turnovers.

02:22But for me, the over 36 and a half is my best play.

02:24Let me ask you guys a question on this one, with Justin Fields.

02:27If we are betting men, which we are, what's the odds that we see Justin Fields get replaced

02:33in this football game?

02:34What are the odds on that?

02:35Big game?

02:36Yes.

02:37And again, take the injury out of it.

02:38I'm just saying, not playing good football, Mike Tomlin finally has his window to push

02:42it in.

02:43Because we're not talking about going on the road and taking on the Kansas City Chiefs

02:46who are down 21-3, let me just bring in Russ.

02:49This could be one of those games where it might be 10-9 at the half.

02:52And he's, odds, don't like what I see so far, let me get him in.

02:5510-9?

02:56I don't think Fields is safe.

03:01I don't think he's safe in this game.

03:03I would only look unders on his props.

03:06I think that Russell Wilson is breathing down his neck, and I think at a moment's notice,

03:11they could make a shift.

03:12I do.

03:13I'm not saying it's the right decision, I've told you that from the beginning.

03:17Mike Tomlin is going to make whatever decision he wants, and I think that's the one he wants

03:21to make.
