00:00Well, it sounds like, in terms of the two QBs, if we put them head to head, you're back
00:08in the dog here.
00:10Caleb Williams, it's a much more modest number at 215.5.
00:15His passing yards on Fandle compared to Geno Smith at 250.5.
00:19How do these guys shake up in your mind?
00:21Well, I wouldn't be surprised to see a pick from Geno as we often do them pushing down
00:26the field.
00:27They have a wonderful 10 play drive and all of a sudden leads to an interception.
00:29So we could be possibly looking at that, but we know that Kenneth Walker is ruled out
00:33for tonight.
00:34Zach Charbonneau should be the main back, although I'm expecting a modest role for him.
00:37Overall, again, I have a good bit of faith in Caleb Williams.
00:40Will they be the most efficient yards?
00:42Will they be the prettiest yards out there?
00:44Will the play calling be the best?
00:45Absolutely not, because we literally haven't seen that at any point this year.
00:49But we get to the second half and they simply have to pass the ball.
00:52And he's surrounded by a good set of weapons.
00:53We can look to DJ Moore, Kenan Allen, who's been super hot over the past few weeks.
00:57So I like yards for Caleb Williams.
01:00Am I going to say I'm like thrilled about it?
01:02But at the same time, again, I don't have faith in the Seattle defense, who's basically
01:06shown us nothing over this past five week stretch that they can shut down anyone.
01:12We know Walker has been ruled out, which again, ironically enough for Seattle, they don't
01:18lose a whole lot.
01:19Do they there?
01:20What about the running backs on both these teams?
01:24So Zach Charbonneau, I think, has looked good, especially when he stepped into a full-time
01:27starting role.
01:28You know, him up at 22 carries against Arizona a couple of weeks ago, I think doesn't tell
01:33the entire story where, you know, they were up 24 at 10 at halftime, they're up 27 at
01:3810.
01:39They're up by multiple scores.
01:40And that's where he's really fed a high volume of carries.
01:42That's not what I'm expecting tonight.
01:44Again, I'm expecting to keep this game somewhat close.
01:46As I mentioned, I think Chicago is likely to cover this.
01:48I don't know if we're going to be seeing Zach Charbonneau and seeing a ton of carries.
01:51So specifically, I like him under 16 and a half attempts.
01:54I think he will get to that 14, 15 kind of range.
01:57But him pushing past that would have to, the game script would have to get a little bit
02:01out of control.
02:02And that's just not what I'm expecting because I just don't think Seattle's amazing overall.
02:04They're an okay team.
02:06So I like him under specifically.
02:07On the other side of things, I think Swift has played a good role for Chicago overall.
02:11You can look to him in the passing game.
02:12I wouldn't mind a little bit of that.
02:13But I think the receivers for Chicago are my, the spot that I have the most interest
02:17tonight.
02:18Let's go there then, Tom, because in terms of the pass catchers, I mean, you have some
02:23names, obviously.
02:24I mean, on the Seattle side, Jackson Smith and Jigba, who has really come on over the
02:28last half dozen weeks.
02:29DK Metcalf, who is consistent, not in the way that maybe he used to be, but he still
02:34produces out there.
02:35For Chicago, though, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, even Roma Dunzey.
02:40These guys consistently getting targets, hands on footballs, and moving the chains.
02:46Where are you going to invest?
02:49I love Jason, but I think his number is just a touch too high.
02:52Obviously, he's been awesome over the past few weeks.
02:54That number's been bent up.
02:55I don't want to say we missed the boat because he's obviously been awesome.
02:57I don't want to bet on number one receivers all the time.
03:00I prefer to take some of those secondary options.
03:02So let's turn to the Chicago side of things.
03:04DJ Moore is just racking up the targets week in and week out.
03:07So I like him over five and a half receptions.
03:09That's sitting at minus one away.
03:10He comes in with a 27% target share.
03:12I also like DJ Moore to find the end zone up at plus 185.
03:15Seattle, they've allowed 18 touchdowns to opposing wide receivers.
03:19That's tied for the third most in the league.
03:21As I've said before, I'm kind of of the belief that quarterbacks should try and keep their
03:24star wide receivers happy.
03:26We've seen Keenan Allen rack up the touchdowns.
03:28We've seen Roman Dunzey have that two-touchdown game.
03:30It's time for DJ Moore to find his way into the end zone against a secondary I am not
03:35confident in.
03:36I will take the yards and the receptions and the touchdown from DJ Moore tonight.
