00:00We had to get so far ahead of ourselves, Tom.

00:06Is there a chance that we at least see, you know, over six receptions for Drake London

00:11or definitely a lot more yardage for him?

00:13Or do we kind of maybe just start preparing ourselves to potentially throw one more touchdown

00:18prop at him?

00:19Like we're just getting way ahead of ourselves here, but the expectation from fans, from

00:23betters is likely what when it comes to Drake London?

00:27He shouldn't be the most consistent receiving option for the Falcons.

00:31You know, we're going to see these big plays to Mooney and Ray McLeod getting downfield

00:36just because that's their role.

00:38But in terms of moving the chains, it should be Drake London.

00:41So I assume his props can be five and a half most weeks.

00:44It'll probably be juiced to be over minus 150 ish on the over if I had to guess.

00:49His receiving yards are probably be sitting in the mid 60s.

00:51If this game turns into a shootout, he's going to play a big role.

00:55So I'm interested in London just because I think he's a phenomenal talent, but it comes

00:59down to what the lines are actually going to be once they get posted.

01:02Absolutely.

01:03And then I know a lot of betters are probably going to be like, well, look at what Robinson

01:06just did to the Eagles.

01:07Look at what he's done so far this season.

01:09Look at the expectation on his shoulders in terms of the run game.

01:12When the Bengals just took on the Chiefs, Zach Moss being their lead rusher only picked

01:16up 34 rushing yards through 12 carries.

01:19Now the Chiefs weren't the best run stop defense last year, but we did see some adjustments

01:23made where they were able to come up a little bit stronger.

01:25And then even jumping back to week one, looking at what the Ravens were able to do, Lamar Jackson

01:29was the lead rusher with 122 rushing yards.

01:32So kind of take that as you will.

01:33If you've got a strong back, I mean, maybe that's a guy that can pick up some yards,

01:37but also have to gauge and see where Robinson's numbers come in, because if they come in below

01:41that 60 mark, kind of how the line started out initially heading into this game could

01:46be worth gauging because he's doing very well regardless of what the defense has to offer.

01:50But we have a lot more in week three to break down.

01:53Casey Hudson with Tom Vecchio here on Pro Football Today, the post game show, so don't

01:57go anywhere.

01:58We get into more week three action.

01:59We get into more props that we can gauge, at least at this point.

02:03And then we get you guys ready for the next big Pro Football Today pregame show coming

02:07up on Thursday.
