00:00Sunday Night Football. Again there's some there's some dud games out there throughout the rest of

00:07Sunday. Let's actually jump to Sunday Night Football because we have an awesome game on tap.

00:12The Commanders hosting the Falcons. It is a four and a half point spread, a 47 and a half over

00:17under. We know that Michael Panics is now at the helm for the Falcons offense and this is one of

00:22the best games of the week. We have two teams that are fully motivated to play and win. Now there

00:27Now there are different playoff scenarios for the Falcons and the Division.

00:31They already have the 2-0 head-to-head record over the Bucs.

00:35The Bucs do play the Panthers this week.

00:38That could be a win for them.

00:39We will certainly get into that.

00:40But this is a spot where if you are a Bucs fan,

00:43if you are a Bucs backer in terms of make the playoff odds,

00:46win the Division odds, whatever it might be,

00:48you are rooting for the Commanders come away with this win.

00:51Give the Falcons another loss.

00:53Bucs, again, should be able to come away with the Panthers.

00:55We will touch on that game.

00:56Either this segment or the next.

00:58I absolutely love this matchup.

01:00If we have the passing props for this game,

01:02we can throw up that quarterback head-to-head, obviously.

01:04Again, Michael Penix taking over the starting quarterback job for the Falcons.

01:08His line sitting at 212.5.

01:11Daniels has been awesome all season, 228.5.

01:15Certainly not looking to over 1.5 passing touchdowns for Michael Penix.

01:21I would look there for Jaden Daniels.

01:23I'm not sure what we're going to be getting out of Michael Penix Jr.

01:26and the passing offense for the Falcons.

01:28Now, it's important to note when you look back,

01:30just at face value from the Falcons' Bucs score last week,

01:33they played the Giants, and we had the pick sixes from Drew Locke.

01:36So, the offense or the team scored points,

01:39but it wasn't necessarily all on the offense.

01:41So, easiest spot to go, of course, for the Falcons

01:44would be looking to a Bijan Robinson, either running straight to his yards.

01:48You want to go to his rushing plus receiving, which is sitting up at 109.

01:52You want to go to his rushing attempts, whatever it might be.

01:55Personally, I would side with just the rushing yards at 83.5.

01:59I think that is a spot you can absolutely look week in and week out.

02:02When it comes to the receiving court,

02:04this is where things really start to get interesting

02:06because we've seen a clear lack of production

02:09from Kyle Pitts, and the main production, of course, is going to Drake Lundin.

02:15We should still be seeing a big game from Darnell Mooney,

02:17but, of course, Terry McLaurin on the other side.

02:20So, a really, really fun game.

02:23I lean with Darnell Mooney at 54.5. I lean on that over.

02:27That's the spot I want to go.

02:29Kyle Pitts has been the epitome of inconsistency this season,

02:33failing to get to even 10 yards in some games.

02:36Other games, he's popping off for 40, 50, 60 yards.

02:38Other games, he has three targets for two catches in 17 yards.

02:42It has been a pit of misery for Kyle Pitts this season,

02:46and I have no interest in going there.

02:48So, you want to go with Terry McLaurin, obviously, is the main option.

02:51A lot of people are going to be looking to Brian Robinson as well.

02:53I think it's fine when it's all said and done,

02:55but I prefer Bijan Robinson in the backfield between the two Robinsons,

03:00and then going to Terry McLaurin when it comes to the wide receivers.
