00:00And then this total, I mean, I said that it was going to be

00:06hunky, it was just a little too low.

00:07Anything could really happen with these two teams.

00:09As mentioned, a number of people decided to stick with going

00:12on the under of this total.

00:14But regardless, what did we make of the fact that this is

00:17the result 18 to 26 before we close out our takeaways of

00:20the game?

00:21Yeah, first half you think we'd be cruising under, you think

00:25maybe get a touchdown from the Steelers just because again

00:28that red zone inefficiency is going to flip at some point

00:31like good offensive teams.

00:32They're going to convert the majority of time in the red

00:34zone and you don't expect the Steelers to go especially the

00:37way they're moving the ball and that's what it comes down

00:38to. You don't expect them to go 0-5, 0-6 in the red

00:41zone. They may not be amazing and go 1-6 or 1-7

00:45whatever it might be and that could push the game

00:47towards an over at some point, but you know, you think

00:50you would be cruising with the under throughout the

00:52first half and then I mean the defense is still need a

00:55lot of work, especially from the Giants side of things

00:57and yeah, sloppy play causes it to go over.

01:00So if you had the Steelers, congrats, that's the winner.

01:03If you had the Steelers, if you had the over, congrats,

01:05that's the winner and a lot of the player props hit tonight.

01:07So good stuff overall.

01:09I know a lot of people probably had Harris TDs, Pat Frymuth

01:12TDs or Pickens TDs.

01:14Those did not come through but all in all a pretty exciting

01:17game at least the end of it.

01:19Yeah, absolutely.

01:20You kind of touched already on like the Giants, the players,

01:22the props and where you would kind of look at that.

01:24But where do you lean in terms of like gauging the Steelers

01:27and the player props moving forward now that we kind of

01:29have a little bit more to compare to from week, well,

01:32Russell Wilson's week one to week two.

01:35Yeah, it's tough because there's no one player seeing

01:38a dominant target share where Pickens has five targets,

01:41Van Jefferson has five, Calvin Austin had four, we're seeing

01:44Pat Frymuth, two Najee Harris and Jalen Warren had seven

01:47combined coming out of the backfield.

01:48So it's a pretty even distribution.

01:50I think Pickens may still be the guy in terms of going

01:54over a yard just because that's the role he plays in.

01:56Van Jefferson may become a sneaky number two.

01:59So it could be Harris and Pickens as like a 1A, 1B and

02:03then seeing Van Jefferson as a number two option.

02:08All right.

02:08So something to continue to look forward to and then the

02:10lesson that I learned today is maybe not receptions, but

02:12yardage when it comes to Pickens.

02:13I think that that chemistry is going to continue to grow.

02:16I said that last week with Cooper Cup and the joke that

02:19I've made to Ben and Donnie for years is like you can go

02:22over yardage.

02:23A player can have a 99 yard reception.

02:25That's a fact.

02:26You can't have over six and a half receptions on one

02:29reception. Like it sounds silly to say, but you can fly

02:32over yards on a single play.

02:34You can't fly over attempts or rushing attempts or receptions

02:38on one catch.

02:39So yards are actually always safer.

02:43Yeah, and you just can't pin down those moments.

02:44I've made that mistake all season long and I'm just going

02:47to take a backseat to that.

02:48Enough of that for me.

02:48I'll stick with the yardage.

02:49I'll alt it up or alt it down if need be if it's not going

02:52to be so crazy.

02:53I'm a value but I've learned something today, Tom, when

02:56it comes to all of that.
