00:00if the panthers beat the buccaneers folks they're going to make the playoffs they're going to be

00:04representing the nfc south if the panthers lose to the bucks and the bucks win the bucks still

00:09need the falcons to lose to the new orleans saints on sunday so there'll be some scoreboard watching

00:15but george carolina to me is the better team of the two i don't know how this has happened i really

00:21don't have a great explanation for it because skill position wise you would think tampa bay has

00:25a lot more on offense and defense but in a week 18 scenario i i think it is the panthers who i trust

00:32a little bit more i'm still perplexed what has happened to baker mayfield in this offense

00:37and i mean i we talked about a couple weeks ago they look better with rashad white at running back

00:42and then dumping the ball off to him a little bit than they have with bucky irving being back and

00:46bucky irving supposedly their guy so so much strangeness for me their defense really hasn't

00:52been that good i think the panthers win this one and i think bryce young may have the better game

00:56of the two between him and baker mayfield i would have never said that in october uh trust no don't

01:04trust anybody i think this game this is a who knows game it's just a who knows game bryce young

01:08was awful last week what do you throw at 54 yards 54 but he always does that and then comes back with

01:15the 400 right like this is what probably is actually a home game he comes back but this is a

01:19road game okay okay and by the way i'm not i'm not playing up tampa bay i don't know what happened

01:24to this team all right mayfield has been terrible for months here uh i think it's i think it's gonna

01:29be a good game because both teams are unreliable not very good all right i'll i'll go with the home

01:34team all right you used to do carolina i'll take tampa bay just to disagree with you all right uh but i

01:39don't trust either one of these teams that being said it should be an entertaining game for a

01:42saturday afternoon yeah i mean emeka ibuka earlier in the year was like the number one wide receiver

01:48in all of fantasy and he barely got the ball at the beginning of the season so so strange millen's

01:52the guy you want he seems to be getting a lot of targets seahawks 49ers all hands on deck game for

02:00those of you in week 18 i would imagine they're gonna play this toe-to-toe the 49ers defense is a

02:05sieve they're giving up a lot but they're scoring on every possession so naturally uh mcaffrey has been

02:10the number one player in the nfl and fantasy this season he's easy both running backs on seattle and

02:15and smith and jigba easy uh brock purdy's out of this world easy juwan jennings kiddo is kiddo

02:21supposed to play this one i think they said he may play in this one so we'll keep an eye

02:24on him and you see this any different i see a lot of points in this game

02:28oh i certainly don't see it being a defensive game here i maybe seattle can slow down san fran right

02:34because they do have a defense here where san fran has none uh although all their guys are hurt yeah i think

02:38points are coming uh would certainly if you're playing a prop play in this game you're looking

02:42for a lot of your overs here purdy has looked great in my mind and i i sort of say this to get

02:47on uh adam kaufman's uh get get on his bad side there i think christian mccaffrey is the mvp by the

02:52way i mean what this guy has done with different quarterbacks 400 tortures he's been fantastic he

02:57won't win it of course it's a it's a quarterback award but i think he's been really the uh uh the mvp

03:03but somebody brought up he's he's gonna come back player of the year can he also an offensive

03:06player of the year can you are they gonna let him win both that'd be funny how to see how that

03:10voting goes out and kyle shannon he probably deserves coach of the year for what he's done

03:13uh with all the injuries there uh to the team gonna be a great game a lot of fun here i'm on seattle
