00:00Hi, Jackson Smith in Jigba sits at 52 and a half receiving yards over or under and why?

00:08And maybe I'll let you in the cyber truck for the second lower.

00:11I don't want to be in the cyber truck.

00:13You could go drive it wherever you want.

00:14Uh, Jackson Smith.

00:15I know where you want me to drive it.

00:1752 and a half receiving yards.

00:20This one might bite me.

00:21It might.

00:22I've been riding high with these unders the last couple of weeks because everybody wants

00:25a bed overs.

00:26Overs are sexy and fun.

00:28But it's the unders that really make us money.

00:30It's the negatives.

00:31It's the living in the world of, eh, maybe things don't go that well.

00:35That's typically, you know, you think about life, right?

00:37Life we're always talking about, eh, typically life kind of kicks you in the rear end, right?

00:40But yet we're all the same people who bet overs all the time, maybe a little bit more

00:44on the unders.

00:45Just saying, just saying it's a little bit more realistic, right?

00:48When it comes to expectations in real life.

00:50So let's, let's take a journey, shall we?

00:52You know, like the Hobbit, we're going to go on an unexpected journey here.

00:55So the first week, JSN was tremendous.

00:58Then DK Metcalf week two, 129 receiving yards, week three, 104 receiving yards, week four,

01:04104 receiving yards, leveled out for a couple of weeks against the Giants and San Fran.

01:08And then against Atlanta, 99 receiving yards before the injury.

01:11And we haven't seen DK since he is back now against San Fran.

01:14So last time against San Fran, a little underwhelming, Jackson Smith and Jigba on the other hand.

01:19We talked about how good he was out of the gate in that very first game, right?

01:22Where DK wasn't.

01:25So it was actually, I'm sorry, in the second game, which was all hands on deck against

01:28the Patriots who were terrible at the time.

01:30But again, in those games, outside of that one game where he was great against the Pats

01:35against Miami with DK Metcalf on the field, 39 yards, then 51, 31, 53, 9.

01:40See where I'm going with this?

01:43When DK is on the field, JSN is like a second banana at best.

01:48So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to continue to lean on to that 52 and a half.

01:52And again, it's a pretty good number, but I'm still going to go the under.

01:55And with DK, I think we're just going to be peppering him with targets and trying to get

01:58him back in the mix in this game that is basically the end all for the Seattle Seahawks in 2024.

02:05Oh, all right.

02:07With that said, let's pivot now to Russell Wilson.

02:10Yeah, look at that.

02:11The Pittsburgh Steelers, 225 and a half is the number passing yards through the air.

02:16Does Wilson hit this number today?

02:18Yeah, I think he does.

02:20Russell Wilson has played very well.

02:24It's not perfect by any stretch of the means, but he's gone over this number here for a

02:31few games now.

02:32And I think that two of the last three, you've seen this number hit for him.

02:38With Baltimore being as bad as it is in the secondary, I just don't see why we don't like

02:43this game.

02:44So it was underwhelming against Washington.

02:46That game was a little bit more of a grind out kind of situation.

02:48They were on the road.

02:50But now we're getting back to at home, too.

02:52And I think right now you can't look at the road game and take it the same way you took

02:56the two home games.

02:57The two home games, he was at 264 against the Jets and against the Giants, 278.

03:03And 230 and a half is, I think, a very achievable number.

03:06So I'm going to go over on this one for Russell Wilson.
