00:00All right, so is this the biggest point spread of the season this week?

00:06I believe there was a 20 and a half, if I'm not mistaken, maybe not.

00:10Maybe not.

00:11The spread is 20.

00:13I saw people saying that this is the biggest point spread in years, it is definitely not.

00:19There has been 21s and 22s, in fact, if you remember, George, I guess because I live in

00:23South Florida, I remember this, but do you remember the Tank Fortuna season with the

00:27Dolphins?

00:28Their spreads were in the 20s, the first few weeks of the season against Baltimore and

00:33then Dallas.

00:34I mean, they were just getting pounded until the end of the year and then they ended up

00:37winning some games, but fantasy-wise here, the Browns, George, I watched this game against

00:45Miami and this is why I'm a little worried about the Dolphins this week.

00:49The Browns were so bad offensively.

00:51They had to go to Bailey Zappi, man.

00:53This guy, Dorian Thompson Robinson, I mean, great player at UCLA and anytime you get to

00:58a professional level, you got to give a guy his credit, but this guy is not a backup in

01:02the NFL, man.

01:03He is not.

01:04He's a third string at best.

01:05I'll be surprised to see him a backup on any team.

01:08The players were wide open, George, last week.

01:10He was missing everyone.

01:12I think he had three intentional groundings, man, in this game.

01:17So Browns are going to lose, Ravens are going to win.

01:23Fantasy-wise, we know who the Ravens are, but I'm worried, honestly, that the Ravens

01:28will sit guys in the second half of this game.

01:31Jerry Judy may be my only play that I can pretty much guarantee in a DFS format or some

01:38sort of Week 18 format that Jerry Judy's going to have five catches for 50 yards.

01:43Like, yes.

01:44Beyond that, I don't know what's going to happen in this game.

01:47I know what's going to happen.

01:48Cleveland Browns are going to get their ass kicked.

01:49All right.

01:50That's what's going to happen this game.

01:51I don't know if they're going to cover 19 and a half.

01:53That's a lot.

01:54And I actually have placed a small bet on the Browns here.

01:57I'll take the point to see what happens.

02:00Nothing that's extravagant here.

02:02Billy Zappi's their 40th starting quarterback since 1999.

02:06That's just nuts.

02:07Just absolutely nuts here.

02:08How many of those Cleveland Brown quarterbacks can you name?

02:13Not all 40.

02:14We've been here too long.

02:15We don't have enough time.

02:16Right, Sam?

02:17We don't have enough time.

02:1840.

02:1940.

02:20It's just nuts here.

02:22We're being told next game.

02:24We've talked enough about this.

02:25Brady Quinn.

02:26No, I'm just kidding.

02:27All right.

02:28Bengals.

02:29Take action.

02:30All right.

02:31Bengals and Steelers.

02:35Great fantasy game for Cincinnati.

02:36I don't care who the Steelers' defense is.

02:38They've been giving up some points the last few weeks.

02:40When Watt is not healthy, the Steelers' defense is not nearly as good.

02:46When we're not calling Watt's name, the Steelers do not win.

02:49To me, he is the single most valuable player on defense.

02:52Maybe if it's not Myles Garrett, it is Watt.

02:55Watt, to me, is an absolute monster, but unfortunately, he has not been healthy.

02:59They have not been winning.

03:01Fire up Burrow.

03:02Fire up Chase.

03:03Fire up Higgins.

03:04Fire up Brown.

03:05For Pittsburgh, a very big show-me week for Russell Wilson and George Pickens and some

03:09of the other players there.

03:11Friar Muth, of course, is a viable tight end option.

03:15I think in looking at some of those player props here, Chase has been so rock solid.

03:19I think Chase, if I'm not mistaken, went either right over his prop number or very close to

03:23his prop number last week.

03:24I think he went over here, but I'd be very careful with Chase Brown coming off that ankle

03:29sprain.

03:30I don't know how effective he'll be or how long he goes in this game.

03:33I'm on Cincinnati.

03:34This spread, by the way, has jumped up a point.

03:36It was originally Cincinnati minus point and a half.

03:38Now it's minus two and a half.

03:40So everybody and their mothers are on Cincinnati today.

03:42Why?

03:43And I'm right there with them.

03:44Steelers, they've lost four straight.

03:46They're not playing well.

03:47I don't think they can stop Burrow.

03:48And by the way, every time you mention T.J.

03:50Ward, all I can think about is the Cowboys took Taco Charlton over him.

03:54Who's that?

03:56Yeah, exactly.

03:58Exactly.

03:59Who's that?
