00:00let's go to the quarterback position here Sam Darnold under center 239 and a half passing yards

00:05over under why all right let's start here with the team coming off of a bye which is always a

00:11good thing too they've had more time to prepare more time to rest and Sam Darnold's been really

00:14consistent uh 239 and a half he's actually gone over this number in three of his last four games

00:19the game he did not was against the Houston Texans who have been the stingiest in all of the NFL

00:24defensively they've given up just 14.7 points per game so I'm going to give him a pass on that one

00:29if that's okay with everybody else are we good okay good well let's give Sam Darnold a pass on that

00:34uh and I just think this is a great spot here they're on the road I know that's a little

00:38concerning for some people but uh not for me and when you consider uh what the commanders have given

00:42up this year they have given up the fourth most receiving yards of any other uh defense so to me

00:49this isn't over and I I think you know last two weeks I had a lot of overs I'm going to sneak some

00:54unders in here this week I think I think that might you know once again be the secret sauce

00:58as being a little negative once in a while on players but Sam Darnold to me I think is in a

01:02good spot JSN's healthy Barner's been a useful piece here I think you're going to see you know

01:08a good preparation a good game plan here for an underrated Seattle team and now that Jaden Daniels

01:13is back what I like about this number now too is that Jaden Daniels you know even without Terry

01:18McLaurin is going to find ways to score he's going to find ways he's going to use Ertz and Debo and

01:23whoever else the cast of characters are to to not quit to keep pushing the football and that's good

01:27too because you want the commanders to score some points to push this number a little bit as well

01:30so give me an over here I think it's a good number for Darnold it's not too high but it's just right

01:35and I think just right for us to go over I think he lands somewhere in the 250 range all right let's

01:40continue the quarterback conversation and go to Rain Dakota Prescott most people know him as Dak

01:47Prescott 266 and a half passing yards over under and why yeah look we know a couple things the

01:55offense of the Dallas Cowboys at home is unbelievable scoring over 30 points per game there

02:00and we know the defense is awful uh let's just put it mildly there like it's just it's so bad the

02:06secondary is awful worst in the league there uh they have given up indeed the most uh passing yards of

02:12any team 2185 over the first weeks of the season so 266 and a half is actually a pretty big number

02:19but ironically he hasn't gone over in the last couple games so I think he's kind of overdue here

02:25and the other thing I like about this is I think Jacoby Brissett has shown with McBride and the rest of

02:31the group that he's got there that he can be a pretty serviceable guy get the job done I mean this is

02:36Jacoby Brissett's opportunity to to remind everybody that hey you know what I'm a veteran starter you can win

02:41some games with me this is a guy that you you know people forget he had a pretty good run with the

02:45Browns a couple years ago before injury struck right like he was winning football games he could manage a

02:50game he can get it done and anybody can get it done here on the other side and I think uh this one being

02:54in Dallas I like it a little bit more he's come close to this number a few times already uh against

03:00Carolina 261 uh against Washington 264 so he is right there so to me this is just a matter of

03:08getting back home getting into a situation too where Arizona can keep pace and some of those other

03:12games some of those other teams didn't really keep pace so that's why I think we fell a little

03:16short here but with CeeDee Lamb back with Pickens going how he is I think this isn't over for Dak this

03:20week
