00:00Okay, Justin Jefferson, 70 and a half receiving yards.

00:04Does he go over or under, and why?

00:07This is tricky, because last week he did not go over this number.

00:10It's the first time he hasn't gone over this number since week one,

00:13where he's also playing with who?

00:14J.J. McCarthy, where he only had 44 yards in week one.

00:18Now, he had 47 last week.

00:20Again, not as much throwing of the football,

00:22but I think at home maybe a little different bit of sauce here,

00:24potentially, for them.

00:26Baltimore Ravens, you know, are going to push the total, right?

00:29And, you know, there's going to be scoring there.

00:30Lamar's back.

00:31So, I think there's a good chance we can go over the 70 and a half.

00:33And it's a small number for Justin Jefferson.

00:35I think most weeks you've just got to get Justin Jefferson in the football.

00:38And I think that is a positive thing that you did see last week.

00:41He did have nine targets, right?

00:43He caught six of them for 47.

00:44So, he did have a touchdown that game.

00:46So, a productive game for him.

00:47He finishes wide receiver 18.

00:48But I think the 70 and a half is such a low number for such an extraordinary talent

00:53that even though J.J. McCarthy might be a guy that's hovering around that 200 passer mark

00:57in terms of yardage total, I do think most of it is going to go to Justin Jefferson.

01:02And especially, again, it's the other side of that football that I think we can push towards that.

01:07As Derrick Henry, as Zay Flowers, as Lamar Jackson put points on the board,

01:11the Vikings are going to have to answer.

01:13And the Vikings will give up a lot of big plays on defense, too.

01:15So, I expect that that Vikings offense is going to have to answer the bell here for the Ravens

01:21against the Ravens if they're going to have any chance today.

01:23So, give me the over on J.J.

01:24I think maybe the first time we see the two of them go over together for an entire game,

01:29that would be good.

01:30Well done.

01:31Made me excited for that one, as if I weren't already.

01:33All right, let's move on here.

01:35What seems like a soft matchup, at the very least, on paper.

01:38It's still the NFL.

01:39The Bills, they have Miami.

01:41So, let's talk James Cook, 85 and a half rushing yards.

01:44Over, under, why?

01:46Look, James Cook, obviously, a guy who has certainly been outstanding.

01:51And I think the secret sauce here for the Buffalo Bills is getting James Cook the football,

01:56letting him run for 100 yards.

01:57When that happens, they win football games.

01:59It happened last week.

02:00He ran for 114.

02:00They won.

02:01You know, 216 against the Carolina Panthers, right?

02:04Like, all these situations, especially since the bye, too.

02:07And if you go back to the two games that they lost before the bye, 49 yards rushing, 87 yards rushing,

02:13that's not enough.

02:14You've got to get James Cook the football more.

02:15So, you saw him have 15 carries and 17 carries in those games, 19 carries, 27 last week coming

02:22out of the bye those last two weeks against Miami, whose run defense has not been good.

02:26So, I'm not thinking that they fixed everything magically in Miami just because they've been

02:29a little bit better.

02:30They have.

02:31But I don't think good enough here to stop this attack.

02:33So, I'm going to go over this 85 and a half.

02:35I think he gets to the century mark again today.

02:37And that's important because Buffalo needs these wins.

02:40They need to keep pace with the New England Patriots, not a sentence that I thought I'd

02:45be uttering in 2025.

02:46But here we are, and I'm here for it.

02:49And again, the data doesn't lie.

02:51The Bills win football games when this guy touches the football 20 times, when he goes

02:56over 100 yards.

02:57And James Cook is the most reliable piece of this offense by far.

03:00Shakira's a nice player.

03:01The rest of the wide receiver group is underwhelming.

03:03Kincaid's had some moments.

03:05They need a playmaker in the worst way this offseason.

03:07I know they keep trying to get it done or pick these guys off.

03:10You know, maybe Keon Coleman will be that guy.

03:12Maybe Josh Palmer will be that guy.

03:13It's not working.

03:14They haven't replaced Stephon Diggs, and it shows.

03:18And I think Josh Allen could use some help.

03:20So, Buffalo Bills in the offseason, free agency, NFL draft, get yourself a big playmaker on the

03:25outside, please, by the love of God.

03:27But over today on Cook.
