Transcript
00:00This is D'Amico Ryans at his press conference today. Texans head coach asked for an update on Niko Collins.
00:04He's eligible to return from IR this week, right, and that's what we've thought all along. He'd be back in week 10.
00:09D'Amico Ryans said today, quote,
00:11"...will continue to evaluate Niko throughout the week and see where he is."
00:16Which doesn't mean that Niko won't play on Sunday,
00:19but you read something like that and you think,
00:21mmm, maybe there's a chance that he's not ready to come back this week,
00:24and that would support your point, Femi, that, like,
00:26obviously this is gonna go up.
00:29If Niko Collins doesn't play, and then would you still like Houston, if that's the case?
00:32Um, because you're already in on the Houston Texans.
00:35Yeah, yeah, so if you hear that news, if you like Houston, just wait,
00:38and find out whether Niko Collins is gonna play in the game or not.
00:40I think that, I would guess that he does, but
00:43I'm also just guessing in my room in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:45I'm not in Houston, Texas, uh, tied to the Houston Texans organization.
00:48So, I just think that, like, getting C.J. Stroud, which I get that he struggled,
00:52but still getting Stroud more than a field goal at home,
00:55I still like that aspect of it as well, with a good head coach,
00:58and D'Amico Ryan's extra time to prepare, extra time to get healthy.
01:02I like the Houston Texans, just, like, kind of, like, from a gut standpoint,
01:05but also numerically, like, I think that this is just a little bit too much
01:08in terms of the respect for their Troy Lions,
01:09even though they are one of the elite teams in the league.
01:11I don't think they're the best team in the league,
01:13but that's how they're being rated in this particular game,
01:15and I'd like to play against them.
01:17Okay, so, strong take from you.
01:19Also, like, you have a great number that no longer exists.
01:22So, right now, just, just, and I know, like, you said it once already,
01:25but just to punctuate it, like, what should people do
01:28that have not yet bet this game, Femi, in your estimation?
01:30Currently, the point spread at BetMGM is a deuce three towards Detroit.
01:35If you agree with me and you like the Houston Texans, I think you wait.
01:38You might get that three and a half.
01:39If you disagree with me and you like the Detroit Lions,
01:41you should probably bet that right now at bet three minus 110.
01:44So, for me, it's wait, get the Texans, but I bet that last night.
01:47But, yeah, if you like Houston, just wait, and I think you might get it back.
