00:00One final game of the NFL week 10 slate here to kick off the second half of this season on a Monday night inside
00:07So Phi Stadium out in Los Angeles, it's the Rams
00:11Playing host to the Miami Dolphins two and a half points spread now in favor of LA
00:16It was closer to a point in a hook earlier this week over under at 48 and a half
00:22Expecting two offenses to fill it up on this Monday night DRS. You see the numbers there
00:27Where do you start your handicap for the Monday night finale of week number 10?
00:31I'm towards the Rams because you're taking a look at two football teams and grab by the way
00:35Maybe you sort of upgrade the loss for the Dolphins going up against the Cardinals. You can't lose that game
00:40You lost it close to the Cardinals. That's embarrassing Cardinals look like they're a decent football team right now
00:45But at the same time you have one team with the Rams with a victory
00:47Ben gets into over 500 and you have right in the crosshairs that NFC West which you can actually win the Miami Dolphins
00:54I don't think they're going anywhere this season and that was a close loss
00:57But a defeating loss where you figure you win that game
01:01You can catapult yourselves and it looks like all for naught
01:03But do I expect to attack my lower to have a solid game tonight?
01:06Do I expect Tyree kill and Jalen Waddle to show up on the outside? Yes, I do
01:10But if I'm giving the nod I look at that line, it's a little bit disrespectful towards the Rams
01:14They're the home team. I think they're the better team and the better defense Matthew Stafford is a pretty good night tonight
01:18I think they pick up the victory and I think the right side tonight is on those Rams at home
01:23Yeah, DRS
01:24I would have to agree the Rams defense getting healthier and improving the offensive line has been shored up and we didn't see a lot
01:31Of Puka to cool last week against Seattle because he was ejected for a phantom punch
01:36Early in the opening half and then it was all
01:39Cooper Cup you would think with both guys fully healthy
01:43Like we saw a little bit on that short week Thursday night game against, Minnesota
01:47That LA could be very potent against the Dolphins defense that has been lackluster this year
01:53They didn't allow 30 points last week to Buffalo and Donnie. That's really kind of where you start for Miami
01:59This is a two and six football team
02:01Then of course the main story this year for the Finns has been a health and the status of to a tongue of Iloa
02:07And there is no doubt that would to a back in a lineup. This Dolphins team is dramatically better
02:12The offense looks really good
02:14They had not scored more than 20 points until week number eight and two was returned
02:19They had scored 27 in two consecutive weeks. The offense is so much better
02:26Chua has thrown for at least 230
02:28He has played clean football three total touchdowns in his two games since returning off the IR
02:34but Donnie it's also coming to losses now where the Dolphins season is on the brink at two and
02:40Six and they have been the underdog in
02:43Both of those games or they were the favorite actually slightly against Arizona, but the underdog last week against Buffalo they covered
02:51Okay, they did not win outright. And so that's the final point
02:54I want to make toward the trend Miami with Mike McDaniel since he became the head coach in South Florida in
03:002022 and underdog 18 times
03:037 and 11 against the spread not great
03:05But what's even more damning for this Dolphins team that is trying to hold on to a sliver of hope that maybe just maybe there's
03:12An outside shot of a wild-card berth. They are just 3 and 14 straight up as an underdog
03:18It is the second fewest wins outright for any team in the NFL that has been booked as an underdog
03:24Double-digit times in the last two and a half years and really that's the story for Miami not keep the game close and look better
03:31But actually win one outright
03:33Yeah get some defensive stops
03:35That's what you're looking for because the issue not with the Miami Dolphins is they're healthy now
03:39Why do receivers are healthy running backs are healthy?
03:41Offensive line is decent to attack over low a healthy back-to-back games where you tell me right now Ben
03:45I'm an NFL coach. All right, you don't know the final score
03:48But I'll tell you scored 27 and back-to-back games
03:50You're no worse than 1 and 1 and you're probably 2 and 0 and the Miami Dolphins with to attack over lower back
03:55Zeros on the board and you take a look at those games versus the Cardinals, which is a loss
04:00Like you fought the bills right up to the end
04:01What a bastard like a 60 yarder to end that game you were right in that to the end
04:05But those are demoralizing losses where yes, they're football players. They play for a paycheck
04:09They're gonna be ready to play tonight
04:10But wouldn't you be more ready to play if you're six and two then two and six at this point we can understand that
04:15Yeah, the Rams know what's ahead of them and quite frankly, so do the Miami Dolphins the Dolphins aren't making the playoffs
04:20But we do have a clean environment
04:22It's turf two teams with some speed merchants on both sides here good running backs good quarterbacks and good wide receivers
04:28We should be getting points that we're not on a Thursday night where I usually say like, hey, you know
04:32What quick week here banged up players and Pukanuku who was dealing with that knee injury?
04:35Probably almost good for him getting thrown out early in that game because he didn't take that wear and tear
04:40We should be looking at some weapons tonight to get after it
04:44Three straight wins for LA they have covered in the last two
04:48Of course
04:49They resurrected their season with two wins in a five-day span that ended with that short week game against, Minnesota
04:56They had more they had some extended time off last week. They beat Seattle on the road in
05:02Overtime despite not a great offensive effort. They hold on to win
05:05They picked off Gino Smith three times and now more extended rest to get even healthier
05:11We'll continue to preview Monday night football when our third and final hour starts up next here on TEL
05:18Welcome to our number three live right here on the early line to start off this new week. It is a Monday morning
05:25He is Donnie right side. I am Ben Stevens our third and final hour
05:29We preview week number tens finale on this Monday night in Los Angeles between the Rams and the Dolphins
05:37We hear from you. We get the pro football doc. Dr. David Chow's analysis a look back on the injuries from the Sunday slate as
05:44Well a prop perspective with Tom Vecchio a couple of basketball handicaps. Sounds like a pretty good third and final hour to me
05:52Love Mondays, you know this about it
05:54Like we get drained this weekend from all the excitement Saturday Sunday late nights watching football games
05:59We got to perform on Mondays
06:00But it makes it so much easier when the topics just write themselves and we can fill in the blanks
06:05So we're ready for an action-packed third hour getting some help from some guests here away
06:09We go exciting times two hours down one to go
06:13Absolutely. So DRS and end out week number ten
06:16Which of course begins the second half of this NFL season week ten comes to a conclusion
06:21Tonight in the city of English inside SoFi Stadium the Rams play host to the Miami Dolphins
06:27the Rams have won three straight games to get back to
06:30500 to stay in the playoff chase in the NFC if Miami has anything left
06:35Of course, it has not been an easy season in South Florida with the injuries to to a tongue of Iloa
06:41It needs to start tonight for the Dolphins as an underdog
06:45But we wanted to hear from the people and how they were approaching this Monday night finale
06:50We do that now with all of you and fade the public
07:00What is the best bet for Monday night football the question to all of you at
07:04Sports grid the Rams as just a two and a half point home favorite the Dolphins getting two and a half as the underdog
07:10Rather lofty total but a primetime game
07:13It's not a short week and it's an extended week for both
07:16Forty-eight and a half. Is that over under more people like the over in some scoring tonight then the under but most people Donnie
07:23More than 44% now back in the Rams land two and a half points at home to end out week number ten
07:29We got it, right today
07:31We really did now granted the ultimate contrarian play would be the Dolphins you take a look at some of those lines out there
07:3550 to 60 percent of the tickets coming in here on the
07:39Excuse me on the Miami
07:40excuse me the Rams and that line not moving here because that's a key number of three to push through and you also have a
07:44Team fighting for the division because the team that's just fighting for some respect. I agree though
07:49The public is taking the right point of view
07:50It's hard to win games on the road in the NFL as is but I truly believe the Rams are the better football team
07:56Overall than the Miami Dolphins if you combine offense and defense and certainly where they're playing the football game tonight, which is in LA
08:02So I agree 44% I'm with you here
08:04I'll back the public tonight because I voted for the Rams at minus to an AFN
08:09Yeah, I would agree DRS again. The Rams have won three straight
08:12They have covered in their last two
08:14Both of those two covers against the Vikings on the short week Thursday at home as a slight underdog
08:21Last Sunday as a slight favorite in Seattle against the Seahawks
08:25So competitive games expected the Rams in some form or fashion have come out on
08:30The winning and DRS the Dolphins as we have shared an underdog last week on the road in Western, New York against Buffalo
08:37They cover as a hefty dog
08:40But they do not win outright just 3 and 14 straight up as an underdog with Mike McDaniel
08:48It's not great. Only three outright victories in
08:51That span 3 and 15, excuse me and Donnie when you're booked as an underdog, you're not expected to win outright necessarily
08:58But you would expect a couple of upsets at least with a talented playoff team in those previous
09:04Two years seven and eleven against the number but for the Dolphins
09:09Trying to hold on to hope for an outside shot at the postseason. It's not just keeping this game close. It's winning outright
09:16Let's get to that total 48 and a half. Just how much offense do we see tonight in Los Angeles?
09:22It's gonna be up to the Miami Dolphins like cuz I don't think the defense is all that good
09:26But we always talk about been like the key term running mate here
09:29I think you have a pretty good running mate Matthew Stafford can sling it
09:31So I'm at phase one of the best offensive play callers in the NFL Mike McDaniels all his toys again on the field and healthy
09:37There's no reason to believe that we're expecting a ground game tonight
09:40That's gonna control both sides, but you do have two electric running backs that can hit home runs Kyron Williams is sensational
09:47Maybe one of the least talked about really good running backs in the NFL. We all know about Devon HN and also Raheem mostard
09:52So you're looking from from pound for pound, right?
09:54You have the wide receivers you have the offensive lines
09:57You have the quarterbacks you have the running backs here and also you don't have two great defenses by any measure
10:02Maybe this game is gonna be told on that young defensive line for the Los Angeles Rams
10:07This is really starting to come into his own to get pressure on to a tiger by low in the pocket if they can't
10:12We're on turf. It's gonna be fast. We're not worried about any weather conditions
10:16Why can't we see 50 points in this game?
10:18Both of these teams are capable of getting into the 20s which puts you right in the shot to hit that total
10:23To a tongue of Iola has been great in his return
10:26He hasn't thrown for a ton of yardage just 231 and 234
10:31But he only has 13 total incompletions in his last two outings only three last week efficient
10:37Against the Buffalo Bills three touchdowns has not thrown an interception sack
10:42Just once in either of those two games Matthew Stafford, though
10:46As the Rams have now won three straight in with Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup at least in the starting lineup in their last two
10:55279 against the Vikings four touchdowns
10:58298 and two touchdowns against the Seahawks last weekend Donnie
11:04Have you had to pick one of these two quarterbacks to target tonight? Who would you look at?
11:08It's it's a great call because again, I'm sort of in the mix with both of them because I think they're both ones
11:13But if I expect again, sometimes it's just paint-by-numbers if the Miami Dolphins, I'm not too sure they can win this game
11:18But I do know they'll probably be in the 20s
11:20It's probably to a tiger by lower because the ability to hit the home run now Cooper Cup is a great wide out not necessarily
11:26I'm gonna beat you for 65 to 70 yards Puka Nakua
11:29Unbelievable body control almost like a George Pickens of the West Coast if you will you throw in his vicinity
11:34He's gonna come down with that catch
11:35But the ability to have one play-action pass on your own 25 yard line with you know
11:39Tyree kill on one side and on the other side Jalen waddle
11:42It's probably to a tiger by lower if you said Donnie which quarterback has a better chance to throw for two touchdowns tonight
11:47I'm probably gonna go to a tiger by lower
11:50Yeah, listen, I would agree both are one and a half a slight bit of over or slight bit of juice on the over
11:56I might do what I did for Monday night for or Thursday night rather for Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson
12:02Both quarterbacks to throw for at least two passing scores
12:04I could see that tonight now Devon HN since to a tongue-of-my-low is returned to receiving touchdowns and a rushing score
12:11Last week against ball against Buffalo. That's three total touchdowns
12:15Kyron Williams did not score last week, but had scored in ten consecutive games
12:21For this Rams team and you can see DRS what his odds are to hit Peter
12:28When we look at these two backs
12:30They are going to factor in to the offense in huge ways
12:34And again both heavily favored Kyron Williams more so than HN to hit Peter
12:40Yeah, it's it's hard to say no to both of them
12:43but if I have to choose one
12:44You're certainly gonna take that price point and say minus 210 makes the most sense because there is no other lead dog on that team
12:50You might see most or get a couple of those carries and steal touchdowns
12:53Which is frustrating when you get vultured where HN might do a lot of work and get a little bit of a breather
12:57Inside the red zone that doesn't happen for Kyron Williams. He's also a great pass catcher out of the back
13:02So I'll cheat on this one instead of saying the minus 105 is the way I want to go
13:05Obviously the minus 210 makes way more sense because if he said forget about the price points who's scoring tonight. It's Kyron Williams for me
13:12No wide receiver props listed for Miami at least Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill again
13:19The offense has been better Tyreek yet to score since that opening game of the season or into a tongue-of-my-low is
13:26Returned now
13:27Here's the interesting component DRS as we look at the other side if Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup play a fully healthy game together
13:35How do they share the distribution?
13:37They have not played a ton of snaps together in Puka's career the last year and a half in that first game against Minnesota
13:44It was Puka Nakua nine targets seven grabs more than a hundred yards last week Nakua dealing with a knee injury early
13:51But that wasn't why he left he got ejected for what they called a punch
13:56It didn't really look like a vicious punch to me
13:59So then Cooper Cup 11 grabs on 14 targets and more than the century mark as well
14:04How do you approach the Rams wideouts for Monday night? It's fantastic again
14:09It's it's such a good problem to have when you're like a same game player
14:13Parley type guy because it's not at all or one at this point if Puka Nakua is injured
14:17Yeah, you're all in on Cooper Cup
14:18But when Nakua is out there along with cup, I tend to lean towards Nakua
14:22I think the bigger plays can happen from that direction as opposed to the target monster Cooper Cup
14:27And you see the yardage and the receptions props
14:34The prop perspective on this Monday was sports grids Tom Vecchio to set the stage for the Monday night finale in Los
14:41Angeles between the Rams and the Dolphins Vecchio as always we appreciate the time. Thank you for being here
14:47How was the weekend looking back on the Sunday slate around the NFL?
14:52You know, thanks for having me. It was a good weekend overall hit on a couple of touchdowns
14:56No, I was on the Lions last night
14:58They didn't obviously come through in terms of covering the spread but their late comeback did stage a spot for me to pick up some
15:04SGPs, which was nice. Hopefully I will carry over into tonight's game
15:08I think we're in for an awesome one tonight. Obviously the the news of Tyreek Hill
15:12I think plays one of the key components for tonight. So let's roll
15:17Yeah, absolutely Vecchio because right now no wide receiver props out for the Dolphins the tight end Johnny
15:23We've a couple of them. Thank you. You're on a beautiful
15:29But hold on top top. Wow, you know, you don't see the the three box here, but on the bottom right corner
15:36We have a beautiful logo of the FanDuel Sportsbook on this wonderful program. That is the early line
15:41So we don't talk about competitors sportsbooks here on this program at the very least so
15:54On other another wonderful sports grid shows any book shop the market find the best number at least here on the FanDuel
16:01Sponsored show we try to keep it to FD, but we'll dive through the rest of it back here and learn the numbers
16:07We can't Vecchio. We're giving you a harder time than anything. That is
16:11Necessary. All right, as we look at the numbers for this game though competitive Monday night finale to end out week number ten
16:18Two and a half points spread Vecchio in favor of the Rams at home in the City of Angels
16:22Total at forty eight and a half rather high total short spread
16:26What are the numbers telling you about the flow of tonight's game in so far?
16:30I'm gonna be on the Rams and I do think we will see some points tonight
16:34You know what we see what we have seen from the Dolphins defense
16:39I think we need to take with a bit of a grain of salt when we're looking back at their schedule
16:42You know, they're playing the Colts not a good offense. They're playing the Patriots
16:45They're playing the Titans like some of these teams that you know, we're viewing as legitimately bottom tier teams overall
16:51So when we see some of their numbers when they're you know, like relatively good against wide receivers overall
16:55I don't think that's actually true. And I think we want to kind of lean on the Rams the team
16:59That's clearly trending up as of now
17:01They're getting healthier and I count I want to be on the Rams
17:03I'm gonna land the Rams for a lot of props
17:05But again that Tyreek Hill news does impact this game overall because if he's not out there if he's a decoy
17:11He's not 100% whatever you want to call it
17:12That's going to impact how much the Dolphins are gonna be able to kind of you know
17:16Punch back in this game and thus that's going to impact what the Rams need to or have to do on off
17:20And so while I like Kyron Williams and I like Pukunuku
17:23it's like at a certain point like they may not need to have a hundred yards through the air for both Cooper Cup and
17:29Pukunuku just because if the Dolphins can't get anything going on offense. This is gonna be a ground game for Kyron Williams
17:35Let's take a look at those quarterbacks tonight
17:37No shortage of talent Matthew Stafford taking on to a tiger by Lowe at 250 and a half for Matthew Stafford
17:42100 as his passing yards prop
17:44244 and a half for to a tiger by Lowe the touchdown props here both at one and a half and both negative juice here
17:49Minus 128 for Stafford to have minus 114
17:52Is it so simple Tom?
17:53They might have to wait a little bit longer to get some information on Tyreek Hill before you make a move or is it?
17:57Decided like no, you don't really care about the injuries the Tyreek Hill per se or is it just a Matthew Stafford night for you?
18:04You know, I think it is a Matthew Stafford night and you know
18:06The Tyreek Hill news like if you want to jump early, that's certainly fine
18:10You're like you just want to be in because you think even if even if he's out
18:14What two is gonna have to pass the ball right and the Rams gonna be playing from ahead?
18:17They're gonna be up not just by two net points
18:19They're gonna be out by six and a half
18:20Thus the Dolphins have to pass the ball so you just jump on to now because they have to do it
18:24I do like some passing touchdowns for Stafford. So I'm willing to go over on the one and a half
18:28I'm willing to go over on the yards
18:30The attempts thing is what I'm kind of struggling with which is normally a market
18:34I'd like to go to from quarterbacks
18:35but if Tyreek's not there again my point being
18:37The Rams may not have to push out like a the entire game
18:40They'll get up to a certain amount and then it's gonna be Kyrie Williams game
18:43So I'm interested in Stafford's attempts prop, but I'm kind of waiting on that Tyreek news
18:49Stafford has thrown for at least 275 plus in the last two games for LA
18:53Of course two consecutive wins against the Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks
18:58I do want to ask you Vecchio despite the uncertainty around Tyreek Hill about to a tongue-of-my-loah and the Dolphins offense
19:04There has been no doubt that would to a tongue-of-my-loah returning to the lineup in the last two games
19:08The offenses look so much better. They had not scored more than 20 points in their first six
19:14They have scored at least 27. In fact exactly 27 in each of their previous two games
19:20How do you evaluate this Dolphins offense now with to a tongue-of-my-loah back under center?
19:26Obviously it elevates everyone around him, you know, one of the players Devon HN
19:30I think is going to be in for a big night regardless of if Tyreek Hill is fully healthy, right?
19:34He wasn't even there was no injury concern about him
19:36I think we are going to see a little bit of pressure on to it and a lot of those passes
19:40For a chance should be there
19:41I mean, he's a running back with a receipt where the reception props thing at five and a half
19:45So he's going to be involved in the passing game. So
19:48You want to go to a chance? Maybe the most consistent option overall. I think that's certainly an option
19:52I know I tweeted about Johnny Smith for a touchdown after the the Tyreek Hill news was
19:58Released just because he does see a good red zone usage to actually tie for third on the team
20:03So if Tyreek Hill is out, we're gonna see some other players step up and I want to kind of jump on those numbers early
20:09Always tough to bet into somebody you think might have an injury issue, but Tyreek Hill again, the wheels aren't the problem
20:15It's a risk. He did take the flight out there looks to be a game time decision
20:18We'll see how much it's gonna be effective
20:19But sometimes just watching the pregame warm-ups and getting some feeds from the beat writer can help
20:23But let me ask you this question if Tyreek Hill does play and let's just say he's a little bit of damaged goods
20:28Who picks up the scraps for the Dolphins at wide receiver?
20:31It would be going to jail and waddle
20:35I will also say if Tyreek is injured and it's a wrist issue
20:39I could see them drawing up plays where they get him coming out of the backfield and then thus Tyreek
20:45Rushing yards, which we do see at times right these little like jet sweeps or like one of those little like pitch plays
20:50Right that they do that Mahomes does to Kelsey like those little kind of toss plays
20:54Just to get the ball into his hands where he actually doesn't have to catch it
20:57So then we can get Tyreek running so maybe a combined rushing plus receiving for Tyreek
21:02But then of course looking to jail and waddle players kind of slow
21:05I want to say like slow in terms of production
21:07But I'm gonna remember like their offense wasn't cooking for however many weeks that to it was out
21:11So I'm interested in going in jail and waddle
21:13But I actually do think there is some value in Tyreek props if he does play
21:17But he may not be at a hundred percent looking to combine for Tyreek could be the answer
21:22And again, when you look at Tyreek killing that touchdown price, he hasn't scored since the season opener
21:27He has not found pinnered in any of the two games with tongue of Iloa back in the lineup now
21:32Let's get to the Rams wideout conversation Puka to Kua is healthy. He is back
21:37He was healthy last week dealing with a knee injury, but was ejected in the opening half for a punch in Seattle
21:44So it was all Cooper Cup
21:45Thank you
21:46These two guys have not played a lot together on the same field in the Kua's year and a half in the NFL if they
21:53Both are healthy and they are both out there for the entirety of the game tonight
21:57How do you view their props? Which guy do you favor in front of the other?
22:01Both are great. It's like a 1a 1b scenario
22:04I honestly love the fact that Puka got ejected last week and like this is his time to show up, right?
22:09He comes back against the Vikings. He's awesome in that game, but doesn't score a touchdown last week
22:13Obviously, he gets ejected Cooper Cup has a big game
22:15Like this is the time for him to be fully involved in the offense and score
22:19So I like Puka over 67 and a half yards. I like him for a TD
22:22I like him at 80 plus yards at plus 142
22:25I think this is this is a Puka new Kua game for the Rams last week was you know weird stuff happens on the field
22:31But I will certainly take him. It's not say they don't like Cooper Cup tonight
22:34But I want to see Puka get fully involved in the offense
22:37I think it's gonna be Stafford Puka Kyron as my my top three options from the Rams
22:42There you go
22:43Take a look at Tom's or the top props right there Kyron Williams over 19 and a half yards Puka Nicola over
22:4867 and a half receiving yards and any time touchdown from Nicola and John who Smith if I ask you one play of those four
22:55Or something else give me something interesting tonight to watch out on some of these profits for us Tom. I
23:00Do like I mean Kyron can always be involved in the passing game as well, so I'm to Kyron over
23:07Kyron over attempts and
23:09Stafford over completions maybe a head of M's just because I expect can be efficient
23:15They want to get the ball, you know, who doesn't have a DB. That's only something at 11.3 yards
23:19So I want to see him get the ball move the chains and then if the Rams are out ahead and the offense with the Dolphins
23:24Isn't moving. I do think we're going to see a hundred plus yards from Kyron Williams
23:28Yeah, 22 and a half the completions prop for Matthew Stafford
23:32It should be a great game tonight to end out week number 10
23:35And you'll see Tom Vecchio before Monday night kicks off on the pregame show here on sports grid to get you set back
23:42Yo, thank you for being here on this Monday. We always appreciate the time
23:47Course, thanks for having me
23:48We give you our thoughts on Monday night football next on TEL
23:52It is time to finish out our breakdown and preview of the Monday night finale for week number 10 of this
23:582024 NFL season live right here on this Monday on the early line. It's the Rams
24:04It's the Dolphins in Los Angeles inside SoFi Stadium
24:08The Rams a two and a half point home favorite against the Miami Dolphins over under stands at forty eight and a half
24:14Do you arrest? Let's just start with the game itself its impact and importance tonight
24:20The Rams a slight home favorite less than three the Dolphins in underdog once again with Mike McDaniel as the skipper
24:28Only seven and eleven against the spread since he became the head man in South Florida starting in
24:342022 only three outright wins and although
24:40Ah
24:41Look at that prime time DRS right now for this game tonight. So as Ben was setting up
24:45I believe what he was trying to tell us here is the Miami Dolphins in the Los Angeles Rams gonna be a good game
24:49Tonight, it's a two and a half point line
24:51But if we're looking at this game
24:53Optimistically, it really points toward the Rams for me
24:55If you're looking at the Rams set up tonight as the two and a half point favorite, they're the better team
24:59They're the team that still has some playoff hopes here and the Miami Dolphins sort of careening off the road
25:03Then the tough part tonight for me honestly is the fact that Tyree killed didn't practice all week
25:08I don't think he's playing coy tonight saying oh
25:11I just didn't practice and my wrist is gonna be a hundred percent healthy because as we talked to Tom
25:15There's a difference between getting a handoff in the back foot and protecting yourself and trying to catch a laser beam away from you
25:2220 yards away and then getting tackled and bracing yourself on the turf here
25:26I'm worried about that Miami Dolphins offensive explosion if Tyree kill can't be the player that we think he can be here tonight
25:33Absolutely. So DRS and he was that leading receiver for Tua and the Finns last week in Buffalo yet to find pay dirt since week
25:40Number one of this season or in any of course of the two games since Tunga by Lowe's
25:45Returned and Donnie for the odds makers here on fan duel not to have the odds out yet for the wide receiver positions
25:52It's a little bit concerning because of course the impact of Hills either availability or absence then impacts
26:00What Jalen Waddle is going to be able to do John who Smith has been a consistent?
26:04Really for any quarterback this year for Miami. I would keep an eye on his numbers
26:10but again the Dolphins of course the story of the season has been the head injury to Tua Tunga by Lowe and his
26:17Murky future at times in his football career and in 2024 and because of that Miami is two and six
26:24They have not looked great
26:25They have looked better with Tua Tunga by Lowe back
26:28But they are in such a hole and again Donnie for the Dolphins losing this game by two or one in covering
26:35Means nothing losing this game by three means nothing
26:38It's an outright win that Miami is desperate for only three outright victories in the 18 games now as an underdog
26:46With Mike McDaniel meanwhile for the Rams their season has been resurrected two wins in a five-day span
26:53They backed that up with the extended mini by last week on Sunday
26:58Going into Seattle and holding on in overtime to knock off the Seahawks you heard from dr
27:04Although there are still some injuries to pay attention to for LA their Delta where they are
27:09Trending is so much more positive now than it was in the opening month of this season and frankly Donnie
27:16That's why I believe the Rams are the right side in the correctly favored side of only two and a half
27:21And also like Tyreek Hill being injured or not at a hundred percent is a massive deal
27:25So then we usually say that hey Jalen waddles a sensational wideout first-round draft pick gets a ton of money has that explosive ability
27:32Did you see his last three games Colts game one for 11 Cardinals game four for 45 last week against the Bills?
27:37Two catches minus four yards like this isn't what we've expected here
27:41Is he able to just step in and be that number one at Tyreek Hill can't do that and maybe buying a lower price?
27:46I'm not so sure that so I got a lot of information
27:49I need to dissect this afternoon
27:50Which a lot of it does deal with is Tyreek Hill playing or not and the effectiveness which might come down to just a pregame
27:56It said hey Tyreek's running his routes. He's catching the football fine
27:59If I see that I'm probably gonna be back in on Tyreek Hill
28:01You know what touchdown props over his yardage job, but that's gonna be tricky
28:05Are they gonna do one of those like a Ben Roethlisberger in the playoffs like a decade ago against the Broncos?
28:09He hasn't thrown all week
28:10He didn't throw him pregame only to uncork bombs right away to start the game
28:14I think we might be playing a little bit coy here on Tyreek Hill
28:18That's what I'm trying to decipher today, but I'm not just immediately going the water like oh, he's been producing he has it
28:24So if we're focusing then on LA because a lot less uncertainty on the side of the Rams
28:30Matthew Stafford touchdown and a half is his passing touchdowns and prop
28:34He is thrown for at least 275 in two consecutive games
28:38You compare that to to a tongue-of-bite Loa you could look at the running backs Kyron Williams
28:42They've on a Chad or of course the wideouts that we know for LA. How are you approaching the Rams perspective for Monday night?
28:50It's got definitely Kyron Williams if I think the Rams are going to be winning which means extra carries in the fourth quarter that plays
28:55Into it, but the ability to home run for Kyron Williams. I love 83 and a half. There's no cheap prop here
29:01So you're basically looking at him getting around the center of which I think he can if you're buying in on the Miami Dolphins
29:06You want that explosive play out of the bond a chain?
29:08Can he get seven eight nine carries and get 60 yards?
29:10Of course he can but also the vulture touchdowns from a he most are the one thing that you have to love about is you're not
29:16worried about that technically from a Rams perspective the full bulk of the carries and the passing game is probably gonna run through Kyron Williams as
29:22Opposed to a Chan and most heard on that side
29:25But if you are looking at Tyree kills, we just told you banged up and not performing in Jalen Waddle
29:30Maybe the bond a champ picks it up out of the backfield as well
29:33If you said Donnie one running back that you love in this game
29:35It's Kyron Williams
29:36but the bond a Chan does have the ability to score a touchdown and get a lot of play tonight if we're down some of
29:41Those weapons or some of those weapons or hobbled tonight
29:44Yeah, no doubt about it you heard from Tom Vecchio five and a half is the receptions prop for a Chan just how much he's going
29:50To factor into this passing attack for Miami should be noted. The Dolphins haven't been great this year
29:57They are the sixth best passing defense
29:59I think those numbers slightly skewed because Miami was trailing so much without to a tongue-of-my-loah
30:04They were playing from behind teams trying to run out the clock on them
30:08Kyron Williams had scored in nine consecutive games prior to last week that did come to a close and again
30:16Donnie when you look at Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup
30:18It's going to be hard to determine who that lead wide receiver is and the oddsmakers
30:23Having a difficult time as well. Look how closely tied those numbers are tonight for a cup in Akua
30:29Yeah, no doubt about it
30:31And it's it's it's a great problem to have as we like to say because how many times you say?
30:35Oh, I like Puka Nakua tonight
30:36There goes cup nine catches 114 yards and two scores Nakoa six catches 60 yards in those scores
30:42But I do think Matthew Stafford is probably the big winner tonight
30:45The one expectation I have is Matthew Stafford's gonna be a top performer tonight and two touchdown passes
30:51That should be on the docket for us. I like that
30:54I like what Vecchio had to say about Nakua hitting pay dirt
30:56I think Johnny Smith makes some sense and even Devon a Chan DRS
31:00You'll have some time to cipher through this all all of this information before NFL football in game live game day
31:07Tonight with Kevin Walsh and Jolie. Enjoy the money line. We'll talk Thursday or on the early line
