I'm your host, Alex Boulton, and it is Monday, September the 9th. Oh, the first Monday after Sunday opening week football. That was a fun week. Loved it. Let's get into our plays that we had yesterday. So our first plays, we took Cooper cup and we took them over 66 and a half receiving yards. I love this play. I actually lattered this play up to 100, 100 yards which played like plus 390, but took all the ladders all the way up. So plus 70 plus 80 plus 90 plus 100 plus obviously different unit sizes. My real full bet was on the 66 and a half. But as you go up in the ladder, you put less on the bet. And they all came through. I was talking a couple of my buddies in a ton of my buddies in the chat saying that this is a real good spot for him. And actually the game script didn't go exactly as I thought I thought they'd be chasing points versus Detroit, although they were leading. And obviously I didn't know Puka was going to re injure himself. I knew he was hurt and that was part of the handicap. And also like just two years ago, he had his, you know, all of his receiving yard totals in the 90s. Like he was up there with Tyree kill with like he just won the triple crown in 2021. Just a few few years removed. Obviously he's been dealing with injuries, but he's coming in healthy. So I really like that play. Our next play is we took Dalton King Cade over his receiving yards. I couldn't have called this one more wrong. He had two targets, one catch for 11 yards. He just kind of was not part of this game plan. It was a really like backyard game with Kyler and Josh Allen doing everything with their legs just running all over the place. It's a bit of an ugly game, but to score 34 points and not have Dalton Cade involved. I'm shocked by this. So that was a different one. Our next play was a winner. We took Tony Pollard over 10 and a half receiving yards. That actually just came through. But it really looks like he is going to be more of the bell cow role. And it's good to attack as one of the podcasts I listened to is JJ Zachar recent on fantasy football. When you're taking players from ambiguous backfields, as he calls it, if you can call the right one, it's a really good shot at it. So obviously him and Chase Brown were one Zach, excuse me, Zach Moss and Chase Brown were one. Tony Pollard and Touch A Spears was another one. And then one of our other bets was Rico Dattle and another one. So we were kind of attacking the ones that we thought were going to come through. So that was a winner. Also Rico Dattle, we took him over six and a half attempts. I guess it went up to eight and a half by kickoff. So I know some of my buddies got in at seven and a half. So that one he just got there at eight. They gave Zeke the first shot at everything. He'd Zeke end up scoring the one rushing touchdown that they had. I had him on to get a rushing touchdown and also two touchdowns, just as little sprinkle point two unit bets. But those didn't come through. Our next plays, we had two plays on Lad McConkie of the LA Chargers. That came through for us. We needed him over 37 and a half receiving yards that came on almost the last play of the game when he scored that touchdown. And then we needed him over three and a half catches. He ended up with five. So that cashed like late third quarter. So that was a good one. And then we took Devontae Adams and we needed him over 66 and a half receiving yards. He ended up with 59. He was right there. I mean, he had a great first half. It looked like he was going to get there. But then all of a sudden, Minchu just kept started targeting Bowers the tight end. So Bowers ended with eight targets. They had six targets for Alexander Madison, the backup running back out of the backfield and only six targets to Devontae Adams. So he went five for 59. I mean, he won more ball at ease over there, but six targets for like an alpha wide receiver in that offense when you're losing. That's unacceptable. That should have come through. And then we took Jake Ferguson. We took him over his 40 point five receiving yards, get it with three for 15 early in the third quarter yet a pretty nasty knee injury. So he didn't come back into the game. So we ended up losing that one. So not a bad day on our plays. I we went five and four on the ones that I gave out on this podcast. I do the Wednesday podcast with my buddy Jeremy, where we deep dive into everything. And that was actually pretty profitable. There was a couple other ones that I didn't post on this one, like to over his passing yards to over longest reception. So there's a bunch of gems in there as well. So it's definitely worth taking a listen to that one as I'm not going to recap every single play on the Sunday. So yeah, pretty profitable weekend. They had a lot of weird ones too that like, I mean, I have looked at my account today. So many free bets, so many different things that I've got going on for today. They have a ton of live betting that a ton of touchdown props. I ended up catching a bunch of these. I ended up live betting James and Williams last night over 41 and a half receiving and rushing yards. It was after like the first couple of plays. I was like, man, I forgot about this guy. Like they they really get him involved. And I mean, I'm on same, I'm on Ross St. Brown was was like, he was a ghost out there. They barely used him. So yeah, I need over 41 and a half rushing and receiving yards in it with 134. So that that came through pretty easily. Another weird boost, which was kind of cool was on draft Kings. They wanted you to bet defense or special teams to score a touchdown. So place a $10 bet on that. And then so I ended up taking the Dallas Cowboys, they ended up getting a punt return touchdown. So that counts because it's the special teams. So that paid six to one on the $10 bet. So you don't point six of a unit love that. And then if another any player in the NFL scores a kick return touchdown, then you get your share of a million dollars of all the other people that had been the same bet. And then the Arizona guy ended up returning one. He's the first everyone with the new rules and the kick in the kickoff zone. So he returned one for a touchdown. So I ended up looking today. So it was only 20 bucks, but $20 free bet will take it. So lots of cool stuff out there. I got a ton of same game parlay profit boost and live boost. So be definitely looking out for those. All right, let's get into some plays today. I got some baseball I got going today. Let's get to those first. Now it's a shorter card. I've just got four familiar guys. It's actually kind of chalky, a little juicy today. But I'm going to take Gunnar Henderson to get one hit. I'm going to pair that with flatie Guerrero. Now Gunnar Henderson is in ball, excuse me, in Boston today, very hit her friendly park. It's perfect for him as he's right in the batter. He just bashed one off that green monster. So all those fly balls that he gets that don't go off the green that, you know, wouldn't there just be flyouts in regular stadiums in the short field with a big green monster? They just bang off there. He's fast enough to turn that first into a, turn that single into a double. So I do like him to get one hit. And I'll talk about his two bases in a second. And then we're going to go with flatie Guerrero, he's going versus McGill in the New York Mets today. McGill's a 10th percentile in barrel rate. And he's got a 6.38 road ERA. So he's terrible on the road. Love that flaties. As we know a monster, he's about 326 versus right in pitching, 324 at home. I like this spot for these two guys together to get one hit. It's a minus 131. So that's a little bit juicy, a little bit higher than we like. But I do like those two batters together. Our next one is we are going to take Bobby Witt to get one hit. Now he is in New York going versus Carlos Rondone today. I think that's 333 versus left handed pitching. He's got to hit 20 of his last 25 games. Carlos Rondone gives up just on the slate today. One of the most home runs gives up 26 home runs, just 1.54 home runs per nine, which is a monster number. Bobby Witt's got a good shot at getting a hit for us today. And then we're going to pair him with Yandy Diaz. Now he's going versus the lefty Sanchez and we've used Diaz many times versus left handed pitching. He that's 351 versus left handed pitching. He's one for three versus Sanchez this year. And he's got two hits and three of his last four games. So I like pairing those two guys together. And again, it's exactly a minus 131. Not exactly sure how that worked out. But then on draft Kings, I know they have a 50% boost for MLB today. And so you can't take the hits because it's over minus 200. It's a minus 200 cut off. So I took all four of these batters to get two plus bases. And that was a nice one. It comes up to about plus plus 2000. So that's a good look for that one. So I took those four batters. All right, let's get into some Monday night football. My official play today is I'm going to take the Jets plus the four and a half. Now make sure you get that four and a half. I know draft Kings is posting just a four. Vandal has the four and a half. So make sure you get the four and a half or at least do it alternate spread. That's a very key number. I can definitely see this landing, you know, 20 to 17. 24 21 24 20 somewhere in that ballpark. And that hook that four and a half is going to come into play a lot. Now you're going to have a ton of same game parlays and things like that three on all of your sites. For me personally, what I did is I took the Jets plus the four and a half. And then also as a single play itself, I'm going to take George Kittle over. I got it at 43 and a half. It looks like it's 45 and a half now on most sites. I don't mind that either. I still like that price. Now George Kittle is a prime time monster. This guy shows up every prime time game. Now he's covered this yardage total in seven of his last eight prime time games with monster numbers to like 81 126 19 didn't cover but 78 67 90 93 84. He's just an absolute beast. And also he's covered over his longest reception line of 18 and a half or 19 and a half in seven straight as well. So he seems to catch one long ball and actually the Jets as good as their defense was. They were not great against the tight end last year. So that's a good little look. So I've put a play on that as well. So I'm taking the Jets and I'm taking Kittle as my two official plays. And then as for the same game parlay, I've got the Jets plus the four and a half. I took Kittle over his yards. I like Breece Hall over his three and a half reception line. Now this is really juicy. That's why I don't mind putting it as in on the same game parlay. That's just another piece. So I think it's at a minus 160 clips up like that over three and a half catches. Now, Breece Hall led the league in receptions last year. You'd think it'd be Christian McCaffery or Calvin, Alvin Kamara, but it wasn't. He had more than both of those guys. He literally led the league and catches last year out of the backfield. And this is Aaron Rodgers coming back off as Achilles tear. He's going to want to get that ball out of there quick. He knows how good the Niners defense is. I can see a lot of dump offs to Breece Hall. So I like him to get four catches. So a four plus or over three and a half. However, you can find it. So I like pairing those three together. If you want a fourth one, some of them make you do a fourth one. I do like Deebo Samuel's over his rushing and receiving prop together. Now, I've seen that kind of move around a little bit. So make sure you're checking your numbers for it. But with Christian McCaffery looks like he's been dealing with an ankle injury or a calf injury, something like that. So they're saying that he's 90% and he should be good to go. It's Monday at football opening week. Obviously, you're going to want to play him. But they also know that they have big playoff aspirations. So he you might see Deebo Samuel getting a couple of runs out of the backfield, stuff like that. And then with, you know, Brad and I, you could not practicing and not playing him coming off, you know, this contract negotiations, he's not exactly ready to go. He'll be on somewhat of a snap count. So he doesn't blow any, you know, and hamstrings or pull any quads while he's, you know, taken off and running when he's not in a conditioning form that he should be. So I do like Deebo Samuel to get over his rushing and receiving yards. I feel like he could maybe get in from McCaffery's hurting. He could get a couple of rushes out of the backfield or some endarounds. And then with IU on the other side, not being totally up to par, I think he can, he could eat today. So those are the four plays that I like out of that one. Again, be looking for your touchdown props. I know there's a bunch of live betting. I think on both the sites, both the big ones, Fanduil and DraftKings. So if you're watching the game, make sure close to game time that you pop it up just to see you extra. What extra free stuff it is. Because like I said, I went five and four in our plays today, but I won a bunch of money yesterday all because of this free stuff. So make sure you're taking advantage of the books. They all want you to bet on your, on their site. So make sure you're going back and forth. Make sure you're, you're really looking around and read the props as well. Because some of them were confusing. I didn't really know much about that defensive one. I've never seen a play like that, where if they score a defensive touchdown and then on top of that, you get your share of a million dollars. That was a bit of a strange one, but I woke up today to see that there was a nice $20 boost in there from that. All right, guys. Good couple of plays going today. We had a great Sunday football. If you're rocking with me, let's roll.
