00:02 - Back here with the uncertainty around Joe Burrow,
00:05 and if he will go tonight, what does that mean for you
00:08 when you look at the individuals in the prop market?
00:11 - Well, for the Bengals, it's super tough to judge
00:14 because you could say, okay, if Burrow is out
00:16 and whether it's AJ McCarron in there, whoever it might be,
00:18 do they just try and feed the ball to Joe Mixon
00:21 and control the clock and try and play
00:23 a super straightforward, super simple game plan?
00:25 Well, then when they do throw the ball,
00:26 they're just gonna feed the ball to Jamar Chase
00:29 and just get their best player of the ball.
00:30 That's super tough to judge,
00:31 and obviously there's too much speculation.
00:33 That's really not a spot that I'd like to go.
00:36 If Burrow does play, I'll probably just be on a lot
00:38 of his unders just because I don't think
00:40 they're gonna be getting the ball super far downfield
00:43 combined with the front for the Rams.
00:45 They should be able to get pressure on Burrow,
00:46 and the Bengals offensive line has been great
00:48 to start the year.
00:49 So a lot of unders for Burrow if he does play.
00:51 When it comes to the Rams, they are looking really good,
00:54 and Stafford's throwing the ball at a super high rate,
00:56 and whether it's Kyron Williams,
00:58 who's the player I'm probably most interested in tonight,
01:00 given the fact that they traded away Cam Akers,
01:02 they are showing that they have full trust in Williams
01:05 to run the ball on the ground, get the ball in the air,
01:08 whatever it might be.
01:09 So Kyron Williams over 21 1/2 receiving yards
01:11 is actually my favorite prop of his tonight.
01:13 We got 10 targets last week, so I expect that to continue.
01:16 - Yeah, Sean McVay, obviously a fantastic play caller,
01:20 but he does have to know that if Joe Burrow
01:21 is damaged goods in the pocket,
01:23 you don't need to throw it all over the lot,
01:24 and maybe leading with your running back
01:26 makes a lot of sense here.
01:27 Let me talk a little Jamar Chase with you,
01:29 the similar to what we talked about with A.J. Brown.
01:31 31 yards and 39 yards receiving in the first two games here.
01:35 He's a superstar that's probably hoping like,
01:37 hey, you know what, 17, 1800 yards should be in my future.
01:41 How do you play him knowing that Joe Burrow isn't 100%?
01:44 Is he a fade every week, or you say no?
01:46 Sooner than later, he's gonna make some big plays
01:47 and really cash in.
01:48 - I would side with the latter.
01:51 Sooner or later, he's gonna cash in,
01:53 and maybe it's not a reception prop for him,
01:56 just because the efficiency of the offense
01:59 might not be there to get the ball to him
02:00 seven times, eight times, whatever it might be,
02:02 but because of that high skill ceiling that he does have,
02:05 he can break off a 50-yard catch any time.
02:07 So, you can go to the yards first,
02:10 and then the reception second.
02:11 No, I'm gonna say actually, yards first,
02:13 longest reception second, and then total receptions third.
02:17 - Love the look, Vecchio.
02:19 You talked about the running backs for Los Angeles.
02:22 Kyron Williams, now that lead back is,
02:24 Cam Akers is elsewhere in Minnesota.
02:27 The rushing yards, prop 59 and a half,
02:29 Vecchio looking at the receiving yards number
02:31 of 21 and a hook.
02:33 Vecchio, before we get going here,
02:34 to your favorite props of the night,
02:36 so we can show that board,
02:37 one final question on Puka Nakua,
02:40 the standout rookie wideout for LA.
02:43 Is the market too high on him already,
02:46 66 and a half receiving yards for Nakua,
02:49 week number three in Cincinnati,
02:51 or is it still a discount, Vecchio,
02:54 when you see the historic numbers
02:55 of his first two NFL career games?
02:58 - I think that number is spot on.
02:59 I believe his touchdown prop is at plus 160 or plus 170.
03:04 That's the spot to go.
03:05 He has, setting all these records
03:07 for targets and receptions,
03:08 he hasn't scored in the first two weeks.
03:10 We're talking about 20 plus targets,
03:12 15 receptions, 12 receptions, whatever it is,
03:14 he hasn't scored.
03:16 So again, back to what I said earlier,
03:18 quarterbacks should look to keep
03:19 their star receivers happy.
03:20 Well, I guess Puka Nakua is the star receiver for the Rams.
03:23 He should be finding the end zone with all these targets.
