00:00Let's go to Josh Jacobs here, 65 and a half rushing yards.

00:03I think I know where you're going,

00:05but let's hear over or under and why.

00:07Well, it might surprise you, but I'm going the under here.

00:09It's not a very big number at 65 and a half,

00:12but he's dealing with that wrist issue.

00:14The Packers don't have a whole lot to prove here

00:16against the Bears.

00:17They're in the playoffs already.

00:18And I think what you want to do is make sure

00:21that you are getting Josh Jacobs some work.

00:24You're trying to be competitive in this game,

00:25and then you're making decisions about,

00:27okay, what's the most important thing we can do here?

00:29And that is be as healthy as we can for next week.

00:32And the Packers have played well.

00:33Jordan Love has played well.

00:35The turnovers are low in the second half of the season,

00:38just like they were last year.

00:39Jordan Love's been a guy the last two years

00:41who really seems to turn it on in the second half,

00:44and that's great.

00:45And you want to put the two halves together

00:46of greatness, that would be elite,

00:49but we'll see what happens in his next year as a starter.

00:51But certainly, you know,

00:53the Packers I think very happy with the season.

00:54And let's, you know, give them some credit.

00:57This is a really tough division

00:58between the Vikings and the Lions

01:01and how well the Packers have played.

01:02And that's why the Bears really have nothing to lose

01:04by making some hard changes and some hard decisions.

01:06Because if you're going to be competitive

01:07against those teams,

01:09it's going to take a lot of help this off season.

01:11But Jacobs for me, again,

01:13it's just, I don't know how long he plays in this game.

01:15So does he play a half?

01:16Does he play a quarter?

01:17If so, how's that wrist holding up?

01:20To me, this is not a game

01:21where I'm trying to put too much effort on Josh Jacobs.

01:25We'll get him some carries, get him some work,

01:26and then evaluate the situation in the second half.

01:28So I would go under here,

01:29and I think it's one of the easier unders on the day.

01:32All right, let's go to beautiful New York slash New Jersey,

01:35where Malik Neighbors is slated in

01:37for six and a half receptions.

01:39Over or under, Joe, and why?

01:42I'm going to go over here with Malik Neighbors.

01:44They're in Philadelphia.

01:45Now that secondary is very good,

01:46but I think it's just a matter of the volume, right?

01:48If you see the amount of targets since the buy,

01:51actually even before the buy, 13, 11, 10,

01:53and then the buy, nine, 13, 10, 14, 14, eight last week.

01:57So I expect him to get a fair amount of targets.

01:59The number six and a half,

02:01I think he crushes this number, to be honest with you.

02:03Like this is a number you should easily go over.

02:05And I'll say this too,

02:07it doesn't matter if it's been Daniel Jones

02:09or Drew Locke or even Tommy DeVito,

02:11Malik Neighbors is getting targets.

02:13He's getting opportunities for receptions.

02:14So that's what we're looking for here.

02:16And Malik Neighbors is a tremendous talent.

02:18If you drop in a really good quarterback next year,

02:22or at least a very capable one,

02:24the Giants could be a real quick turnaround

02:26because this is also another team,

02:28because of their poor record,

02:29they'll have good draft capital

02:31and they'll have an easier schedule next year.

02:34You couple all those things together

02:36with some better quarterback play,

02:37the Giants are a team that could be a really easy

02:40over on win totals because people will kind of negate

02:43what happened last year or look past them.

02:45But the Giants typically are a pretty good organization.

02:48They go through peaks and valleys, which is frustrating.

02:50I think the difference between the Jet fan is,

02:52it's mostly values with the Giants fans.

02:55There's these peaks where you're winning Super Bowls

02:57and then valleys where you're the first overall pick.

02:59And that's kind of a tough pill to swallow,

03:02I think for Giants fans, but Malik Neighbors,

03:04again, the targets will be there,

03:05the opportunity will be there,

03:06and the six and a half I think will be over today,

03:08especially as this game gets late.
