Rough Start for the Pats, Big Week For Tyler Shough | Week 1 2026 | Full Show
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The 2026 NFL season kicked off with a thrilling matchup between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, which ultimately came down to the wire in favor of Seattle. The Seahawks' defense was instrumental in their victory, capitalizing on three interceptions thrown by Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. On the offensive side for the Seahawks, Drew Lock stepped up admirably after Sam Darnold's hip injury ruled him out for the week, completing 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown. The running back committee also performed well, with Jarran Price proving more effective on the ground than George Holani, though Holani remains valuable as a blocker in third-down situations. Conversely, the Patriots struggled significantly without Tavon Henderson, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, and faced further challenges due to AJ Brown's high ankle sprain that will keep him out for several weeks.
Beyond the immediate game recap, the host provides a detailed look at four players he is particularly bullish on for the upcoming season. First is Tyler Shough of the New Orleans Saints, who is projected to lead a top-10 offense with over 4,200 passing yards and significant rushing touchdowns from himself once Jordan Mason returns from injury. Second is Chase Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals, described as a monster all-purpose back when Joe Burrow is healthy, capable of accumulating massive yardage totals. Third is Tyler Warren, a tight end for the New York Giants who is poised to have a breakout season now that Daniel Jones has recovered from his Achilles injury. Finally, the host highlights Spencer Shrader, the Indianapolis Colts' kicker, who has regained his starting job after recovering from a torn ACL and proving his accuracy in game action over practice reps.
The episode concludes with the host's weekly picks for Week One across the league and specific betting recommendations for an upcoming partnership with Underdog Sportsbook. The host predicts upsets such as the Saints defeating the Lions despite injuries to their secondary, while favoring teams like the 49ers in Australia and the Ravens at home against the Colts. He also offers fantasy points projections, advising caution on high lines for Josh Allen and Joe Burrow due to typical Week One rust, while backing Gino Smith to surpass his passing yardage line against a weak Titans secondary. To maintain accountability, the host plans to use a free app called The Sharps to track his picks throughout the season, encouraging viewers to join free leagues with friends or family. He ends by promoting an exclusive partnership where he will provide five player props each week using a specific promo code, inviting fans to follow his journey as he navigates the new season.

Week one of the 2026 season has arrived.
What a beautiful way to open the season
with that game last night between the
Patriots and the Seahawks. We're going
to recap everything about that game
coming down to the wire. Drake May
throwing three interceptions as well as
previewing every game ahead this weekend
in week one on a brand new episode of
Time to Football. Glad to be back. So
good to utter those words. My name is
Asan Khan, the host of this show. If you
guys are following on YouTube, but you
aren't listening to this on podcast,
vice versa, Apple podcast, Spotify
podcast, YouTube, those are where I'm
going to be posting these podcasts.
Follow, subscribe. Also, if you guys
aren't following me on Twitter,
Instagram, or Tik Tok, I encourage you
guys to follow on there. So much more
football content on those platforms.
Before I get into this episode, I'm
going to explain a little bit about the
direction that this channel is going in,
what we're going to be doing on a weekly
basis, and also what I've been up to for
the last couple of years in my career.
So, I used to make YouTube fantasy
football content on this YouTube
channel. And I wouldn't even say that
50% of my content was fantasy football.
It was less than that. But half my
subscribers came from fantasy football
content.
I decided to move on from making that
kind of content because I was getting
more access to players and coaches and
agents and events and I needed to be
taken a little bit more seriously. I
needed to be respected and unfortunately
fantasy analyst, the fantasy football
community, some people look down upon
it. It just has a negative connotation.
So, I needed to disassociate myself from
that to be, you know, work my way up as
a commentator or a journalist, whatever
you want to label me as. And I'm so glad
that I did. It was one of those things
where I had to take one step back to
take two steps forward. And that one
step back, I felt it, dude, because I
was making bank
with fantasy football content. Hella
bread just to tell people what they
already know. Can you believe that? It's
all therapy. I'm a counselor. Hey, now I
know why he calls himself a fantasy
football counselor.
Such a standup guy.
We all know who's good and who's not
good. You know who you're going to start
and sit. You just want someone else to
give you that affirmation.
Jakori Crosky married and Rico D. I
don't know what the Hey, relax. It's all
good. You want to know why? because it
doesn't matter in life. It's all fake.
Who cares? So anyways, that was a lot of
money that I lost on. But now I'm in the
two steps forward phase and I can
finally say that 100% full-time I am
doing time to football. Time to
fulltime.
And it's because of Tik Tok. Honestly,
Tik Tok has been such a blessing.
beginning of the year, I got invited to
a Tik Tok creator rewards program where
I can make three times my ad revenue.
And so that's been the driving force for
me to go full-time. And there was a lot
of success that I had when we went out
to the Super Bowl in San Francisco
talking to AJ Barner. Listen, I was the
journalist that revealed AJ Barner. The
JN AJ stands for Javvante. His words,
not mine.
and a bunch of other stuff happened. But
I'm going full-time and Tik Tok is my
main driving force and YouTube has
become secondary. But YouTube has also
been terrible for content creators
because they are leaning in the
direction of trying to be like Tik Tok.
Everybody's trying to be like Tik Tok.
Snapchat has short form videos now.
Instagram now has reels. YouTube has
shorts. I think Facebook has
incorporated reels. Like I don't know if
it's all the same as Instagram, but
YouTube is very shorthy and then long
form content barely gets pushed out
because you're competing with other
shorts. And even the shorts, you can get
stuck in 1,000 to 2,000 view hell. You
have a Tik Tok that gets 200,000 views.
You take that same exact Tik Tok, you
post it on YouTube shorts, only 2,000
views tops, if you're lucky.
But a lot of people just weren't seeing
my content. I've been posting almost
every day for the last couple of years
and people are like, "Where have you
been? I haven't seen your post." Blah,
blah, blah. Welcome back or whatever
when when they do see my video and I'm
like, "Guys, go to YouTube shorts. I've
been posting all the freaking time."
So, anyways, Tik Tok's my main driving
platform. I'm going to worry about
reaching like, you know, getting the
right hook and like being optimal in
search and all like all that crazy
stuff. I'll worry about that on Tik Tok.
for YouTube. What am I gonna do with
this channel? The answer to that is
whatever the hell I want. Since Tik Tok
is the only thing that I really care
about on YouTube, I can do whatever I
want. And it's a freeing feeling that I
don't have to worry about the thumbnail.
Oh, pokes for the thumbnail.
I'll probably use that expression when
talking about uh Drake May, like a
picture of Drake May because I'm gonna
talk about him in this episode. Since
I'm doing whatever the hell I want, I do
not care about the amount of views that
I get on this channel. I don't care if
this video gets seven views, 70 views,
7,000 views. This is not my driving
point. This is not what I care about the
most. It's Tik Tok. So, anyways, that's
the direction that we're going in for
YouTube. So, this particular video, it's
a podcast. We're going to recap the game
between the Patriots and the Seahawks.
We're going to look ahead and preview
every game coming ahead with a weekly
picks and then I'm going to give you
four players that
I'm really high on this season. So, for
you guys that are fantasy football
people, there's actually some insight
that you could get from this channel
still, even though I'm not like outright
saying start this guy, sit this guy.
Let's get into the football portion of
this podcast. the Seattle Seahawks and
the New England Patriots. 13-10. The
Seahawks were able to pull away with
three interceptions. Their defense being
the driving force in the second half.
They really bounced back and they came
back and won that game. In the first
half, it didn't look good for the
Seahawks. Sam Darnold is going to be out
for some time. He's expected to miss
next week for sure with a hip injury.
After that, will he miss some time? TBD.
Drew Lock. He looked great. 187 yards, a
touchdown, and also 16 out of 22 of his
passes completed. Very accurate with the
ball. Uh the backfield of the Seahawks
looked great with Jajarian Price. George
Helotti, I know that's a little bit of a
debate. Jadarian Price or George Hani.
It's Jarian Price's backfield. This kind
of split, it's not going to keep up.
It's going to be more and more in the
favor of Jarian Price. Like the again
like fantasy football people are like
then look at the usage and all that.
If you are just looking at the game
outside of the fantasy perspective and
you're just looking at who is better,
Jadarian Price was the more effective
runner. Eight carries for 29 yards was
George Hani. So, not that effective on
the ground. However, I will say he did
look pretty good blocking on third
downs. So, he was a pretty good blocker
and I think that's going to come up.
He's still going to be involved in the
offense. Even when Zack Sharet comes
back, I could see Hani on there on third
downs. Now, you're going to have to mix
it up. You can't just have Helani all
the time in passing downs. Then the
opposing defense is going to be like,
"Oh, Helani's out there. They're going
to be passing the ball." You're going to
have to give him some carries. But in an
ideal world, in an ideal game, if there
were 25 carries between Price and
Helani,
Price should get 15 to 20, Helani 5 to
10. That's the way it should be. And I
think that's the direction that it's
going to be going in. Jackson Smith and
the Jigba, eight receptions, 122 yards,
and a touchdown. as solid as ever. On
the Patriot side, didn't look good.
Drake May 178 yards passing, one
touchdown, and three interceptions.
Roandre Stevenson,
18 carries, only 51 yards on the ground.
Had five receptions, that's cool, but 51
yards on the ground is not going to cut
it. This team is missing Tvon Henderson.
Henderson, who hasn't practiced with an
ankle injury in the last couple of weeks
or so, they need him back. because he
was explosive last year. 911 yards
rushing on 158 carries I want to say and
nine rushing touchdowns.
Only three running backs, rookie running
backs in the last three years have had
900 yards rushing and nine touchdowns.
Saquon Barkley, Jir Gibbs, and Tvion
Henderson. He's the future.
He's the future. Like it's I I get it.
Raio Stevenson, he's better at pass pro.
still involve him like you're involving
George Alani, but if you're looking at,
okay, 2530 touches between those two
running backs in an ideal game, who's
gonna get the majority of that? It
should be Tayvon Henderson. Honestly, at
this point, Romeo Dobs,
oh boy, one of those interceptions that
Drake May threw was because Romeo Dobs
didn't make a first down and that could
have been prevented.
He's going to bounce back. Zero
receptions, three targets. He he'll
bounce back. He's going to have to he
he's probably the number one target now.
I know people might be like, "Well, M.
Hollands or Pop Douglas. It's Romeo
Dobs." But with AJ Brown missing some
time now, we have confirmation that's a
high ankle sprain. He'll be missing.
In my estimation, he probably won't be
back to his usual self. Even if he just
misses two to four weeks, he probably
won't be back to his usual self in like
six weeks. But the promising thing is
that this game was on a Wednesday. So
you already have half a week uh in
advance to heal up. Eli Raridan catching
his first NFL touchdown. I have a
personal story to share about Eli
Raridan. I'm not going to share it today
because I've been talking too much and
uh I don't want to make anybody look
bad, but it's an interaction that I had
with them. It's not that bad actually,
but I'll share another time. Uh but the
final thoughts to this is the Seahawks,
they look great. Can Drew Lock keep them
over? I don't know. That remains to be
seen, but the Seahawks defense for sure
can keep them afloat. until Sam Goner
gets healthy and returns to action. For
the Patriots, they'll bounce back.
Hopefully, Trayvon Henderson coming back
will be a good boost. AJ Brown missing
time, that's going to suck. Just going
to have to get over that. Drake May, the
three interceptions that he had, they
were dumb decisions, but it wasn't a
lack of talent why he had those
interceptions, if that makes sense.
Like, it wasn't because he's just in
inaccurate with the ball in general that
he threw an interception. It's not
because he lacks arm strength that he
underthrew AJ Brown. It was just a dumb
decision that he made on those three
touchdown or those three interceptions
and then the flee flicker that could
have been a touchdown to AJ Brown, but
was underthrown. Um, also the pass to AJ
Brown where he got injured was slightly
underthrown and who knows if he would
have gotten injured or avoided that
injury if it wasn't underthrown. So
anyways, both teams Seahawks, they're
going to be consistent. Patriots,
they're going to bounce back. Let me get
into a category that I want to talk
about. Players that I'm riding with, and
I'll try to make this short and sweet,
but I have four players on the list, and
I'll explain why I'm big fans of them
this season. The first one on the list
is quarterback Tyler Shuck of the New
Orleans Saints. What we have projected
for him is 4,200 yards passing, 24
passing touchdowns, and nine
interceptions. But we also have him
rushing for another five touchdowns on
the ground. And this is after Jordan
Tyson is expected to miss about a month
or so.
Before he was expected to miss and
suffer that hamstring injury, we
projected 26 touchdowns and eight
interceptions.
The Saints offense has the potential to
be a top 10 offense this season. This
week, week one against the Lions. We'll
talk a little bit more about Shuck
towards the end of the show,
but Shuck, I wouldn't be surprised if he
pushes for 300 yards passing this week
against the Detroit Lions. There's
something about quarterbacks the rookie
year whenever they complete 67% or more
of their passes the rookie season, you
just tell that they're a very good
quarterback. Jayen Daniels did that in
2024. Drake May did that in 2024. Tyler
Shuck did that in 2025.
Shook is on the trajectory to be a
surprise candidate at quarterback this
season to surprise a lot of people I
should say.
So, I'm a big fan of Tyler Shook this
season. A running back that I'm a big
fan of is Chase Brown. He's essentially
Austin Eckler but with more rushing
volume. I tweeted this out if you want
to follow at time to football. Tweeted
this out probably last week or so.
Chase Brown in 15 games that he's played
with Joe Burrow since week nine of 2024
when he became the starter.
Joe Burrow has been healthy for 15 games
since then. Chase Brown's per game
average,
17 carries per game, 71 yards rushing,
five targets, four to five receptions,
33 receiving yards, and one touchdown a
game. over the course of a season.
That'd be 293 carries, 12,200 yards
rushing, 88 targets, 77 receptions, 558
receiving yards, and 17 total
touchdowns. When Joe Burrow is healthy
and on the field, he's a monster.
Assuming that Joe Burrow plays all 17
games, which I assume is going to
happen, Chase Brown is going to be one
of the better running backs in the NFL
when it comes to all-purpose yards at
least. Another
guy that I'm very high on,
Tyler Warren, quotes tight end. As a
rookie, Tyler Warren was utilized a lot.
I don't want to say he was force-fed
targets. He was designed targets.
With Daniel Jones, he was on the
trajectory to be one of the better tight
ends in the NFL. Then Jones suffered the
injury.
His production took a little bit of a
hit. But now that Jones is back and
healthy, Tyler Warren is going to be a
big piece for that offense despite Josh
Downs being there, despite Alec Pierce
being healthy, despite Keenan Allen
getting signed. And the last player that
I'm really high on,
let's stay with the Colts.
It's not on offense. It's not on
defense.
It's on special teams.
Spencer Shrader, their kicker, in his
career, he's only missed one field goal.
He is 18 of 19 in his career. That
missed field goal came last year when he
went 13 to 14 in five games and it was
about a 51 52 yard field goal that he
missed. So from long range under 50
yards absolutely perfect in his career.
The story of Spencer Schrader is that he
suffered a torn ACL after five games uh
last season and it was on his kicking
leg. He unfortunately planted it,
someone ran into it, suffered a torn
ACL. He struggled a bit in practice
because the Colts brought in last year
to replace Shrader. They brought in
Michael Badgely and then eventually they
brought in Blake Groupy who was solid to
end the season. So Blake Groupy was in a
kicking competition with Spencer Shrader
and he struggled a bit. He was about 70
to 75% accurate in practice while Blake
Groupy was 80 to 90% accurate. And it
seemed like groupy was going to win the
starting kicking job. That was until the
preseason and game action matters way
more than practice.
In the preseason, Blake Rupy missed a
couple kicks. Spencer Shrader showed
that the ACL is not an issue because he
was booming every kick. There were two
kicks that he made in the preseason from
60 yards each, showing that strength is
not that much of an issue for Spencer
Shrader. So, he wins the kicking job and
the amount of field goals that Shane
Stiken and the Colts were attempting
last season and how accurate he's been,
I wouldn't be surprised if Spencer
Schrader after this season is regarded
as one of the better kickers in the NFL.
So, those are four players that I'm
riding with that I think are going to be
solid players this season that are
undervalued, that are overlooked. I'm
going to bring back a segment that a lot
of people are fans of, and that is
weekly picks. So, I like to keep track
of my picks on a week- toeek basis, how
accurate I am because I like to take
accountability for myself. Like, I if
I'm three out of 16 correct for the
week, I'll own up to it. I'll say I
sucked at picking games this week. But I
want you guys to keep track for yourself
as well. And the best way that I
realized for all of us to do this
together is this app called the Sharps.
So, there's a link in the bio of this
podcast and of this YouTube video. If
you click that link and the promo code
as well, if you lose the promo code,
it's NFL T2F. Uh, you sign up, you don't
have to pay any money. I know this
sounds like kind of like, oh, just pay
your money and I'm trying to get you
guys hooked. No, like there's a
completely free league, so you could
play by yourself. You can invite your
wife to it. You can do whatever you
want. uh and you could just play against
each other and just picking uh games
against the spread, the overs and
unders, whatever you guys want to do.
So, I'm going to give you guys a little
bit of insight on that by going through
the app with these weekly picks. But the
sharps, click that link in the bio, sign
up, make an account. Uh completely free.
We're not trying to like scam you out of
money or anything like that. Uh but
that's what I'm going to be using
throughout the season, throughout these
weekly picks to try to keep myself
accountable to see if I got uh a lot of
these picks correct or not. There's a
little script that I like to read for
the weekly picks that I just wrote up.
So, I'm going to read that while I'm
going to show you some cool graphics.
Let's go ahead and cue the bring me in
the horizon and let's go through the
week one picks.
Week one is underway. The Rams and 49ers
play in Australia. San Francisco
adjusted their clock by flying out a
week early while the Rams they're
winging it and flew out just a day
before. Things to note are Aaron Donald
is inactive while George KD he'll be
playing. I'm picking the 49ers to win
this one. Ideally, the Rams, they should
win, but the 49ers, they were able to
build a fan base by traveling so early,
so they'll have the home field
advantage. Over to Sunday, the Chicago
Bears travel to Charlotte to take on the
Carolina Panthers. Ben Johnson has his
eyes set on making this the highest
scoring offense ever. Meanwhile, the
Panthers offense, fortunately, it's hit
or miss. And because of that, giving the
Bears to win this one on the road. There
was some doubt on whether DeAndre Swift
or Kyle Manungai would miss this game,
but they both seem like they're going to
be good to go. The Cincinnati Bengals
versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You'd
expect this to be a high-scoring game,
but it's week one. The Bucks defense
also will be much better than people
think, but despite that, I'm taking the
Bengals to win. They're a 12- win team
in my eyes, and their defense has
improved as well. But watch out for
Ruben Bane this season. In what could be
the upset of the week, the Saints could
beat the Lions. That's what I had
pencled in until Jordan Tyson got hurt.
But I do expect this to be a
high-scoring game. The Lions secondary
will be missing Kirby Joseph, Brian
Branch. They also released Tyrion
Arnold, so expect a lot of passing in
this game. I'm still taking the Lions to
win, but don't be surprised that Tyler
Shuck is throwing close to 300 yards.
From one high-powered game to a
lowscoring one, the Houston Texans host
the Buffalo Bills. Week one, as you saw
with the Patriots and the Seahawks, is
universally lower scoring. With the
championship caliber defense, the Texans
will keep this one close. However, I'm
taking the Bills to win this week.
There's still a bad taste in their
mouths from the playoffs against the
Broncos. One thing to note for the
Texans, Kahan Booty is expected to be
heavily involved. The two cities tied to
the Colts franchise, Baltimore and
Indianapolis. The good news for the
Ravens fans is that the defense won't be
nearly as bad as it was last season.
Trey Hendrickson adds a muchneeded
boost, which is why I'm picking the
Ravens to win. I believe the Colts
offense can get to the point that they
were at at the first half of 2025, but
it might take a couple weeks to work
Daniel Jones back in coming off that
injured Achilles. The Cleveland Browns
versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is
a game with a lot of unknowns.
Interested to see how the Browns defense
does without Miles Garrett. And also
interested to see how the Jaguars deploy
their wide receivers. Picking the
Jaguars to win this one. Honestly, not
really much to say here and hardly any
debate here. I think a lot of people
would agree that the Jaguars are the
heavy favorites. The Atlanta Falcons
versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The
overunder for Atlanta's win total is 7
and a half this season. To me, seven
wins, that's their ceiling. We know how
inconsistent this offense can be, and
they're also missing their top two edge
rushers and Jaylen Walker and James
Pierce. That's why I'm picking the
Steelers to win at home. Pittsburgh has
improved with the addition of Michael
Pitman, who I expect to be a reliable
piece for the offense. Also know that
Touaka Voa injured his oblique and the
status is up in the air this weekend.
The New York Jets versus the Tennessee
Titans. Two teams that many aren't
really high on. Although the Jets
offense has improved, if Gino Smith can
be decent at worst, they may make some
noise. Those offseason offensive weapons
that they added are why I'm rolling with
the Jets. Cam Ward and Cardinal Tate's
connection. It might improve throughout
the season, but unfortunately, it's just
not there yet. To the late afternoon
slate, the Arizona Cardinals versus the
Los Angeles Chargers. Mike McDaniel will
make this one of the better offenses in
the league. Got to give some love to the
Cardinals offense as well. Their offense
looked great this preseason, and this
could be a high-scoring game, but I'm
going to pick the Chargers to win this
week. Side note, Jeremiah Love seems
healthy enough to play after spraining
his ankle. The Miami Dolphins versus the
Las Vegas Raiders. Everyone expects the
Dolphins offense to be lackluster, but
it's not even that. The Raiders spent so
much money on their offense and their
defense this off season with guys like
Quinny Pay and Nico Dean. Their defense
is why I'm taking the Raiders to win
this one. They'll be without Brock
Bowers, but it looks like Ashen Genty is
in line to play. However, Mike
Washington could see an increase in
snaps. The Green Bay Packers and the new
look Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is
hoping for some sense of normaly at
quarterback after acquiring Kyler
Murray. Their favorites to beat the
Packers, and I'm gonna have to agree
with that. The stability in the offense
is going to rejuvenate the crowd at
homefield advantage is going to be a
thing. While the Packers might struggle
with the lack of an established run
game, let's keep the division matchups
rolling with the Commanders and the
Eagles. In their own ways, last year
seemed like a disappointment for both
teams. The Eagles were the better squad,
so I'm picking them this week.
Washington may take a couple weeks to
find their identity with new offensive
coordinator David Blau. Sunday Night
Football, the Dallas Cowboys versus the
New York Giants. It looks like Malik
Neighbors will be playing this week, but
due to the complication of the injury,
it'll take a few weeks to get back up to
full speed. The Giants may have a tough
time keeping up with Dallas and their
offense. So, I'm picking the Cowboys to
win this week. And finally, Monday Night
Football between the Denver Broncos and
the Kansas City Chiefs. Both
quarterbacks suffered season ending
injuries, but both are fully recovered
and will start. As good as Denver was
last season, people have forgotten the
dominance of the Chiefs the last few
years. With it being in Kansas City, I'm
picking the Chiefs to win. I do believe
that both teams are going to split this
season. So, I'm siding with the home
team in this one that is itching to show
that last year was just a fluke. And
those are my picks for week one. Again,
if you wanted to play for 100% free, you
want to invite other friends to play as
well, they have a free league, you can
make your picks, the Sharps, click that
link in the description, sign up, and
you can keep yourself accountable. It'll
give you a score actually as well and
tell you how well you've been doing
throughout the season. So, let's play
this together. Let's let's make our
picks. Click that link in the
description and sign up with the Sharps.
the last segment that I have to wrap up
this podcast. I'm happy to announce that
soon and in in a matter of like
literally 48 hours or so, I'm gonna have
a contract with Underdog and so they're
going to be a partner with us for the
season. I'm going to be helping you guys
out. There's five players I'm going to
give you each week that I like the over
or I like the under based off their line
that they have for that week. So, the
promo code is T2F. I don't have an
official link right now. I might edit
the video a little bit later on. So, if
you guys are watching this a little bit
later, you see a link in the
description, that means it's active. Try
to use the promo code T2F. If it doesn't
work, you can wait a little bit, then
use the promo code. But, I'm going to
give you five players. So, first off, I
talked about Tyler Shook so much in this
podcast. How I'm a big fan of the Saints
this season. His line is 246.5
passing yards. Like I mentioned
throughout the weekly picks, I think
this is going to be a high-scoring game.
Kirby Joseph is not there. Brian Branch
is still injured. Terion Arnold has
moved on. They've released him. This is
going to be a high-scoring game. They're
going to be passing the ball a lot.
Tyler Shuck, I'm taking the over on
246.5 passing yards. Now, I'm also going
to give you a confidence level. Tell you
how confident I am in in picking these.
And I'm going to say that I'm seven out
of 10 confident. So, I I'm I'm fairly
confident. This is one that I would go
with. Another player is Josh Allen. You
can also bet on fantasy points. So, his
line right now is 19.45 fantasy points.
I am taking the under on that. And
listen to me on this. Josh Allen, he's
great. But week one is known to just
produce the rustiest performances of all
time. We saw Drake May had a very rusty
performance. There's a lot of players
that just don't live up to uh their
their name and and and their talent
level because week one, you're still
getting adjusted. And given that he's
playing a Super Bowl championship
caliber defense in the Houston Texans,
this is gonna be a rough game for Josh
Allen's. Now, my confidence level just
because it is Josh Allen is five out of
10. 19.5 is just way too high. I
couldn't avoid giving you guys that
line. Another guy that you got to take
the under on is Joe Burrow. Again, week
one produces some very rusty
performances. I am taking the under on
Joe Burrow. 20.15 fantasy points is his
line by the time this is filmed and I'm
6.5 out of 10 confident that he is going
to hit the under. The Bucks defense is
going to actually is actually going to
be pretty good. I believe that Ruben
Bane is going to have the same effect
that
uh Chase Young had for the commanders in
2020 that Nick Busa had for the 49ers in
2019. Those were elite defenses and I
think the Bucks maybe they won't be
elite but top 10 they might be in that
conversation. So Joe Burrow might be
struggling in this game, especially if
it is week one. So I'm taking the under
on the 20.15.
Behan Robinson is also another one that
I'm going to be taking the under on
18.15 fantasy points is his line. This
is half PPR. So you would look at that
and be like, "Oh, 18 PPR fantasy points.
That seems like an average week for
Bejian Robinson." Well, listen, it's
half PPR and it's not an average week.
It's week one. Cooper Rush might be
starting this game. I am taking the
under against the Pittsburgh Steelers
who is a tough defense and I'm actually
the most confident out of anybody. I am
seven and a half out of 10, but I am
going to take the under on that. And the
last one that I have for you is Gino
Smith over 212.5 passing yards. He's
facing the Tennessee Titans whose
secondary was kind of lackluster last
season. Gino Smith last year with the
Raiders. It didn't work out, didn't pan
out. didn't look that great, but the
slew of offensive weapons that they
finally have in New York, I just have to
take advantage of that. So, I'm seven
out of 10 confident that he is going to
get over 212.5
passing yards. Now, I'm not just going
to spit stuff or or pull stuff out of my
ass and tell you guys, "Oh, yeah, bet
your money on this." I'm actually going
to keep myself accountable and I'm going
to do it throughout the season by
actually showing you guys live that I'm
going to be locking in these picks. So,
I like to do two leg parlays. That's how
I win the most money. People like to do
eight parlays and I bet $1 to win $300.
You're not going to win. Okay. So, I
talked about Tyler Shook. Who knows?
Maybe I'm wrong. So, I'm going to go
ahead and delete him.
I wasn't super confident in Josh Allen.
was five out of 10. So, let me go ahead
and delete them. And honestly, it's
between Gino Smith and Joe Burrow. I
don't know which one I'm going to be
taking here. You know what? F it. Let's
go with all three. I'm going to put $5
to try to win 32 and a half. Oh, I have
a $5 bonus entry. So, they run these
kind of promotions all the time uh
throughout Underdog every single week.
So, $5 for free. Yeah, let's go ahead
and just bet that. So, to win 2750 on
those three players, yeah, let's just
see what happens. And that's going to
