00:00Yeah, I'm gonna start with Brock Purdy coming off a buy. This is a really good matchup against

00:06Tampa Bay. Like I said, we've seen Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, a lot of QBs carve

00:12up this secondary this season. Uh, and I think with Brock Purdy, which are also going to

00:16have today is that return of Christian McCaffrey, not only open up things in that offense quite

00:20a bit, but you're also going to benefit a great deal statistically from the yards after

00:24catch of Christian McCaffrey. So those little dump offs, uh, their two yard passes end up

00:29becoming 25 yard gain sometimes. And that really pads the stats of a guy like Brock

00:34Purdy. Uh, the DFS world is a good situation here for him. I like the overs on Purdy today.

00:38We'll get to that now or two. Uh, the last game he had here against the Dallas Cowboys,

00:43he finished his QB four. In fact, he finished is a top 10 QB in three of his last three

00:49games. So that is a trend going in the right direction for him. And Christian McCaffrey

00:52can only help that scenario. Again, he helps pad the stats. It's a really good matchup.

00:56We've also got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming off a short week. So everything you could

01:00possibly want to be in the right frame of mind here in the right situation for Brock

01:05Purdy to be successful. It is, I mean, it's on the road and that's the only thing you

01:09could say about it. But again, uh, it's a road game after a buy. So I'm not too worried

01:14about that. So Brock Purdy is in a smash situation today and he should probably carve up this

01:18secondary, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who just all year have not been good.

01:23All right. Speaking of the road, let's keep it on the road for the New York Jets. A lot

01:26of people are reinvigorated, if you will, in their desire for the Jets, especially from

01:30the wagering market. Let's look at a running back on the road at Arizona. Who do you have?

01:35Look, I think I understand the last time we saw the Jets, right? Everybody was, you know,

01:40kind of looking forward to, you know, this Houston game and seeing like, okay, maybe

01:45the Jets can get a victory and get back on track. And I think we're overvaluing what

01:49we saw just a little bit. Uh, Aaron Rogers, the first half of that game was absolutely

01:54abysmal. The crowd was chanting to sell the team, took Garrett Wilson, making the catch

01:59of the year and a couple threading of the needle passes that could have easily been

02:04interceptions that Devante Adams ended up catching through the fingers, basically of

02:08a defender.

02:09And all of a sudden now the Jets are back. I'm just pumping the brakes here a little

02:12bit on this. I think there's going to be a competitive game against the Arizona Cardinals

02:15who find themselves as kind of a weird plucky underdog, I think from the media perspective

02:21in this game. So I think what you do is you go back to Brees Hall and you've seen since

02:26the pivot here, basically a lot more Brees Hall, which is what you wanted to see. You

02:31go through the game of Buffalo in week six, right? So after they fire the coach, 113 yards

02:35rushing, then he had that down game against Pittsburgh, but that's okay. Pittsburgh really

02:38good against the run.

02:39We'll give him a pass. Then 80 yards, rushing 74 yards, rushing against Houston. He's also

02:43working a ton in the passing game. So even though his rushing total is low against the

02:47Pittsburgh Steelers, he had 103 receiving yards in that game. So Brees Hall is the focal

02:52point of this offense. Don't lose sight of that. This is a really good situation for

02:57him. And when you're going on the road, especially with that extra rest, which he has because

03:01last time we saw them was on Halloween, right? Yeah. That extra time, I think you're going

03:04to see a fresh Brees Hall.

03:06And I think you're going to see a lot of him today. So it's a good situation for Brees.

03:09It's a good situation for the New York Jets to capitalize on that unexpected victory where

03:14they caught the Houston Texans without Stefan Diggs, without Nico Collins on the road in

03:19a short week, right in their own building. That was a good situation for the Jets. And

03:24they did come up with a victory, even though it was a late blooming one. So I don't want

03:28to overrate that too much. Let's get back to basics. Let's think more Brees Hall than

03:32necessarily all of a sudden the Jets passing game has returned in spades.
