00:00How did you start gauging the props on this one?

00:07Yeah.

00:08So when it comes to wide receivers, if we want to start taking things head to head,

00:12you know, worthy, like you said, has been a little bit inconsistent when it comes to

00:17his overall yardage.

00:19So specifically I like him under 36 and a half receiving yards.

00:22He's been under this mark in six out of the 11 games.

00:25One of the games he was at exactly 37 yards and yeah, there are times where he's popping

00:29off for, you know, 70 plus, whatever it might be yards.

00:32But again, when we have, when we have Isaiah Pacheco back in the mix, we're going to see

00:35a shift when it comes to their overall pass play percentage.

00:39And we're going to see their, I would say they're often shift back to a little bit what

00:42we saw where it's not going to be as pass heavy just because they don't need it.

00:46Also being in fact, they're 13 point home favorites.

00:49We're not, again, we're not going to see worthy and Hopkins and Kelsey and gray and Justin

00:53Watson and Juju Smith Schuster all fly over there.

00:57A lot of these players may be falling under just because they don't need to pass the ball.

01:01So while there are some storylines dating back to training camp and preseason where

01:05my homes and, or I should say the Raiders may be joking around with my homes and his

01:10voice.

01:11I do expect the chiefs to come out and score some points, but I don't expect it to be all

01:13through the year.

01:14I think they want to show the Raiders who they are.

01:16And Rick, frankly, for the chiefs, that's like the Raiders are the chief's little brother.

01:20The chiefs just control things time and time again.

01:22And I think they want to show that ground game today, time and time again.

01:26So that means someone's going to be pushed out of the offense.

01:28And I think that's going to be a Xavier worthy for the chief.

01:32So under 36 and a half receiving yards for him today.

01:35I like the under 37 and a half play there.

01:37I did go with receptions for him over two and a half because when Pacheco was in the

01:42lineup and then you had Xavier worthy, you saw him get these three receptions before

01:46he kind of fizzled out of the game plan a little bit.

01:49So I was kind of wondering if they would kind of retreat back to that, seeing as how they

01:52pulled off a win without Pacheco.

01:53If they go back to where the system was flowing week one and two, then that's kind of where

01:57my my thought process came in there.
