 Thanks for joining us this holiday weekend. There's some great gifts waiting for us in the form of NFL games on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. And you know we're gonna unwrap all of them. It's week 16. You're watching Faddle TV's More Ways to Win. We are betting the biggest games, handing out best bets and dropping DFS best value plays as well. Welcome into our Los Angeles studio. I'm Lisa Kearney. Alongside my ride or die, our sports betting expert, Dave Weaver. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas. That was gonna say that to you. All the things. It's gonna be a good week. We got money to make. Right. Let's get to it, too. The rest of the team are ready to go, of course. Super Bowl champ and former NFL wideout, James Jones on the Zoom. We got Andrew Philipony bringing it strong. Look at these guys. From the East Coast. Yes. Happy holidays, guys. As you can already see, we've got a great show ready for you. And remember, many of the games this week are Saturday kickoff, so be sure to lock your bets on Faddle Sports Book app before these games get going. And speaking of, it is go time. More ways to win starts now. And we're kicking off the show with a huge NFC East matchup. We got the 13 and one Eagles at the 10 and four Cowboys. This game Saturday and the big news, everyone's been seeing it play out all week long. Jalen Hurts status here. The MVP candidate could miss the game with a right shoulder sprain. If he can't go, backup Gardner Minshew would get his first start of the season. As for the Cowboys, their four game winning streak ended last week with an overtime loss at Jacksonville. Dallas gave up 40 points. It was their highest total yielded yet this year. So we're gonna bet this game. We're gonna give it a little litigious twist here. We're in Judge James courtroom to debate. Dave and Pony, you each pick a side and argue your case. Of course, Judge James sitting over there will be listening to each of your arguments and will declare his order in the court. Eagles, guys, getting four and a half points after a huge line shift. Because of that Hurts injury, many believe he will not be going. He is still a could go. All right, Pony, a lot riding on this game. You're presenting your case first. What you got there? I've lost my clients a lot of money in the Judge James courtroom. So hopefully things change. He's in the holiday spirit for me. Look, when the Cowboys play the Eagles earlier this year, they nearly won the game with Cooper Rush at quarterback. He threw three interceptions. Now the shoe is on the other foot and it's likely a backup for Philadelphia. The Cowboys have the formula. They held Jalen Hurts under 200 passing yards. They held the Eagles to three and a half yards per carry. And now you take away the running threat with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. The game really doesn't mean that much to Philly. They're all but locked in as NFC East champ. I think it's a statement game for Dallas. The line movement tells me that the odds makers believe the Cowboys will cover the spread too. Now with the quarterback change, I'm taking the Cowboys. Judge, Pony is wrong, number one. What is there to like about the Cowboys right now? They beat the Texans in the last minute and then they come back and give up 40 and lose to the Jaguars with or without Jalen Hurts. This Philadelphia defense has been bringing it this year. Last year there were 19th in the league giving up 23.1 points a game. This year they are sixth. And if it is Gardner Minshew, hey, he had 37 touchdowns and 11 picks in his first two years for the Jags. So he can sling it. Yeah, he probably can't run the way that Jalen Hurts can. But my key here is that Leighton Van Esch who's been a starter and the leading tackler for the Cowboys all year long, left last week in the first quarter with a neck injury. He's not gonna go. You take out the leading tackler. That's a big deal for this Dallas defense. It's already, to me, been struggling. So Judge James, do the right thing. And by the way, Pony's dressed so warm. I think he lost so much last week. The Cowboys are scoring more than 30 points a game every week, Dave. You failed to mention that. Not against this defense. Come on, Judge, do the right thing. Judge, you're up. What's the verdict? The verdict is in and I'm right with my dog, Dave. Yeah, I'm right with my dog, Dave. Going against Coach Mike, James. Wow. Number one, Dave, you know, I hope your back is all right because I'm used to standing up there with you. So I hope you're all good as I'm sitting in this chair. But no, you're right. If this was four weeks ago, Pony, I would have been with you, right? Because when Cooper Rush was in the game, this Cowboys defense was playing at a very high level. Since Dak has entered the game, this Cowboys defense has set up. Well, you know what? We got Dak, we just going chill now. And they have not really been stopping anybody, especially these last two weeks. I mean, you give up a bunch of points to the Texans and then you give up a bunch of points to the Jacksonville Jaguars. I do not like the way the defense is trending. And yes, no Nathan Van Der Resch in the middle, right? He was there last time they played. That's why they were stopping the run really, really well. You lead. Your leading tackler goes out of the ball game. This is going to be tough on the Dallas Cowboys, whether it's Garderman, you are Jalen Hurst because the Eagles are coming with a defense as well. I like the Eagles in this one. And with all that being said, I still think we're going to see Jalen Hurst in this one as well. But I like the Eagles. Yeah, I just, I can't get myself to say that it is definitely going to be Menchew. Everything you read, they're leaving it with the definitely could possibly, just, you know, it could be game time. I would not be surprised to see him as well. They need just one more window to lock up that home field advantage there in Philly. This might not be it, but maybe it is. James ruling in favor of Dave, the Eagles getting those points. It's a big line in my mind, four and a half. All right, let's keep it going here. Another huge match up the eight, five and one giants at the 11 and three Vikings. New York coming off that huge win in Washington. Giants first win, by the way, in five weeks was also Saquon Barclay's first game of at least 100 total yards since way back in week 10. We all saw what the Vikings did last Saturday, overcoming that record 33 point deficit to beat the Colts and improve to 11 and three. The Giants are getting three and a half points in this matchup. Dave and Pony, time to argue your case for this game. Judge James is ready and Dave, you're up first, which guy? Yeah, Judge, I have three pieces of evidence to present to you in this case. Number one, Kirk Cousins has a lot of experience against the Giants over the years playing for Washington. He's under 500 against the Giants in his career and his teams have only scored about 17.6 points a game. So offensively, he hasn't really solved this Giants defense. Number two, Daniel Jones is my guy as a road dog, 15 and five now against his spread in his career. And number three, which team in the NFL has won the most games by a field goal? It's the Minnesota Vikings. They love winning close games. So the fact that I'm getting three and a half, just like last week when they won an overtime by a field goal, if they win by three, I'm still covering, that's my case. Well, the Giants offense is not going to be able to keep up with Minnesotas. Minnesota, you've got Justin Jefferson, 1,600 yards. Kirk Cousins is coming off a career game, 460 passing yards, four touchdowns. They showed what they could do in the second half as a quick strike offense. Where is the Giants' quick strike? Their leading receiver is Darius Layton with 600-something yards. Daniel Jones has been more prolific as a runner than as a passer. So really, for Judge James here, if he's going to take the Giants, what he's going to tell me is that wide receiver play really is not that big of a deal, because the Vikings have great receivers and the Giants do not. So if Judge James goes with Dave, then he is a big hypocrite. And I don't trust his verdict. He's not going with me on this one because he hates the Giants. I already know what he's doing. Come on. Really, in the show, you want to come at James like that? All right, James, you heard the arguments. Who won the case? Well, you know the verdict is in and you heard what Dave just said. He knows I don't believe in the Giants. He knows that. I am not a believer in the Giants, not a little bit at all. So I am Rylin Coney in this one. I am going with the Minnesota Vikings. They just have too much. I truly believe the Giants easily have four wins, right? They've just been blessed to be able to kick a couple field goals, a win-to-close game, and that's what they're at. But I'm not a believer. And yes, if you cannot score points with the best of them, you're not going to have a chance, especially when you've got to play meaningful games, playoff games, games like this, going down to Minnesota. So I'm not a believer in Daniel Jones at all. I do not think he's going to go out there and handle Kirk Cousins. This Minnesota Vikings offense will be too much. They're going to get them boys in a hole and the Giants are not going to be able to climb out of it. I like the Vikings in this one. Dave, you knew it. Once you said it, Dave, you knew it. You knew I wouldn't go with the Giants. You got to know your audience, Dave. I made a good case still. You did, you did. Well, Judge James has spoken. Pony wins this case, backing the Vikings, giving those points. Let's get to another matchup with major playoff implications here. We've got the seven, six and one commanders at the 10 and four Niners. San Francisco, one of the hottest teams in the league winning seven in a row. Brock Purdy getting a lot of the headlines, but I really want to shout out this 49ers defense. It ranks number one in total yards, rushing yards and points allowed. The new look of the commander is currently the last team in when it comes to playoff picture. So each game is very crucial for them. Pony, getting back in here, Washington getting seven on the road. Pick a side, state your case. What you got? Yeah, commanders are comfortable in that underdog role. I remember Judge James when he was still a practicing lawyer like us actually kicked the commanders to go to Philadelphia and upset the undefeated Eagles. And I think I'm not calling for an upset here, but what they were able to do in that Philadelphia game was force turnovers, their defense is aggressive. And Ron Rivera, given his defensive tendencies, I think that's going to make it hard on a quarterback and Brock Purdy who number one is still super young, super inexperienced. I know he has not made a back breaking mistake yet, but he's also not healthy. He's been on the injury report all week, all of last week, oblique injury, rib injury. It's a big number. I know the 49ers have been great. They've won five straight games by double digits, but the commanders just seem to be comfortable in these games where it's a David versus Goliath matchup. I'm going to take Washington to cover. Judge, I'd like you to strike something from the records earlier. Lisa presented incorrect statement saying San Francisco is one of the hottest teams in the league. No, they're bar none, the hottest team. There's no argument there. They're not one of, they won seven straight and why this is something that she did say correctly. Their defense is so good. Look, Washington's offense, 25th in the league and scoring, they score about 18.9 points a game. They scored 12 against the Giants, 12. What are they going to score against San Fran? Probably zero, maybe three, six if they're lucky. And look, the Niners are nine and two against and spread their last 11 games at home. Outside of that debacle against the Chief, they've won their home game by 20, 15, 13, six, 16 and 28. They blowteamed out at home. Washington is not going to be able to score points. Judge, I rest my case. Yeah, our producer got in my ear and just mentioned accurately, again, the information you presented is, you know, very much in the air because Kansas City and Philly fans could bend to- They haven't won seventh straight. Could disagree with you on who the hottest team is in the end of the game. They haven't lost to Washington in that span. All right, fair. James, you know the drill. It's all you. Oh man, Pony, I hate to do it to you, but Dave- But you're gonna do it. Yeah! And let me tell you something. You're right on a couple things here. Number one, you're right on the Niners being the hottest team in football. Brock, Brock, 30s Jersey, Bang Bang Niners game. He did it. They got the number one jersey selling right now playing at a high level. This Niners offense is more explosive with Brock, 30 under the center. More with, more than Jimmy G under the center. Then you talk about this defense playing at a very high level. I mean, if they gon' dane their young Tom Brady at home, what do you think they're going to do to Taylor Heinecke? And you're right, Dave, they scored 12 points against the Giants. And you're talking about you're gonna go on the road to where the Niners play really good football and be able to put up some points against the Niners. I don't see it happening. I think the most points they get is possibly 10. I think this is going to be a beat down by the San Francisco 49ers. The verdict is in. I'm finding the kill. Dave, you're right. Pony, I don't know what you are thinking. You guys are leaving out the fact that the commanders got screwed by the refs. That was a touchdown, James. You saw that. He checked with the ref. He was lined up properly. It should have been 20 points. Oh, and the PI. That is very true. But it's still not the Niners. That's right. All right, at the end of the day, Dave wins the third case, taking the Niners, giving the points. Congrats to Dave. Great match. You're a square, Dave.

You just need to really tap into some smart experts who will tell you where the best value is on the board. So let's fire up our traveling circus here as we roll out this week's dog and pony show. And as we do every week, pony's playing the part of pony and our special guest Chad Milman will be bringing the dogs. Always great having Chad with us, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network. Happy holidays to you, Chad. And all right, guys, let's do this, Chad. You went two and oh in this segment last week. Congrats there, yes. So hold on to your picks for this week. I'm gonna start with pony. Give us your first favorite favorite for week 16. Lisa, can Kansas City cover a spread? I mean, this is bugging me. They've got one of the worst against the spread records in the NFL. There's a big number every week. They have a hard time covering it. I'm picking them again. I'm going back to the well. Seattle, they look like they're running on fumes now. Geno Smith yards per attempt down to five against San Francisco. He looks like a little bit different quarterback with the Tyler Lockett injury there, which is affecting things. Kenneth Walker, not completely healthy. And as far as KC backers go, they're better at blowing teams out at home. Their last two home games have been double digit wins over the Rams and over the Jags who are now red hot. So it's a big number. But I think, come on, Kansas City, one time here for Lisa and for me, cover a big spread. Yes, it's your Christmas gift. They'll wrap it right under the tree. It goes, thank you, Pony, for your belief in my chiefs. All right, Chad, give me an underdog that you like this week. All right, everybody has been trying a bad mouth. The Green Bay Packers all season long, but we're starting to see this team find its rhythm offensively. And it's the perfect time to do it as underdogs against the Dolphins. This line actually opened at five and a half. The wise guys loved it at five and a half. They bet it down to four and a half. I would play this game all the way down to three and a half offensively. Since week 10, Green Bay, number two in DVOA on offense. That's a fancy way of saying all the numbers add it together. Say this team is playing really well on offense. And also defensively, they're not great against the run, but they're very good against the pass, especially their defensive secondary. We saw Zair Alexander made the pro bowl last night. He is a guy who will be able to jam the Dolphins receivers, which is what makes them struggle. We have seen defenses, opposing defenses play better against the Dolphins the past few weeks when they are able to do that. And I will say this, this season, dogs between three and 10 points, covering it at a 58% rate against the spread. That is the best through 15 weeks that we've seen in 20 years. All right, great stuff, Chad. Thank you. Pony, we know you like the Chiefs. Who else do you like this week? I'm gonna go with the Ravens. I think that score, their output, the three points against the Browns and that Saturday night game in Cleveland, very misleading. They squandered opportunities in the red zone. Tucker didn't make his kicks, which is, you know, a rarity, it almost never happens. And here comes Atlanta. This is gonna be Desmond Ritter, the quarterback's first road start here. He was under 100 passing yards against New Orleans. They want to run the ball. That's been Atlanta's MO all year. And the Ravens defense, one of only three defenses in the NFL to hold teams under 100 rushing yards per game. A dominant run defense, especially now that they have Roquan Smith there coming over from the Bears. So I like the Ravens to remind Desmond Ritter and the Falcons that the NFL ain't easy. And I think they will pull away and blow out Atlanta Sunday or Saturday afternoon. All right, great stuff, Pony. Chad, another underdog that you like in week 16. Look, Pony's right. The NFL is not easy. And we see it every single week when we've got these massive favorites going against these teams that nobody thinks are very good. We've talked about this the past three weeks. On this show, I've asked people to hold their nose and bet on big underdogs. We did it for the Rams. We did it for the Broncos. We did it for the Bears last week. We're going back to the well with the Bears this week against the Bills. I've said this each and every week when we have teams that have a winning percentage of 25% or less, playing against teams that have a winning percentage of 65% or more late in the season, the numbers are inflated. The bookmakers are begging you to take the bad team. This is covering it a 60% clip. The last six seasons, that's on a data set of more than 200 games. I'll say one more thing. We got a lot of Brainiacs at the action network. We dive deep into the data. We created a metric called the luck rankings. It accounts for everything that defies expectations in a game. Do you not score in the red zone? Do you have an excessive number of turnovers? Plays that are against positive expectations. This is the biggest Delta we have all week in terms of luck between the Bears and the Bills. When that happens, it's an autoplay on the underdog. Interesting insight there. All right, Pony, let's quickly recap your two favorites and Chad, we'll get back to yours. You like the Chiefs giving the points to the Seahawks. You like the Ravens giving the points to the Falcons. And Chad, what you got for your underdogs? Here's a look at your dogs. Again, Chad went to an O last week. This week he likes the Packers and the Bears both getting points on the road. Awesome stuff, guys. You can bet these dogs in favorites right now on the Fandals Sports Book app and you can get more of Chad's insight by listening to the favorites podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Also make sure to download the Action Network for expert picks, live scores and stats. You heard Chad talking about his staff there and bonus drop real quick, must read Chad's The Odds book, which I'm currently reading for the second time through Chad. Awesome stuff, my friend, and great and seeing you every week here on this show. All right, time now to turn a little bit into a big win. Dave, America's new favorite segment, Dave's big payday parlay. You know how much I love this. A $20 wager, you're gonna turn it into thousands for us. What do you have here for week 16? As I also tell everybody, happy holidays, what do you have for us? What's under the tree? We are going to bet eight teams to win. They all have to win. There are no spreads involved here. This is all money line. And one of the trends this week is cold weather games. And one of them that I'll start with is Cleveland. It's gonna be about nine degrees, windy. We've got a dome team coming in. I don't think the Saints are gonna handle that weather. So I'm gonna start by putting the $20 on the Browns. When that wins, we bet it all on the Carolina Panthers. Look, this is a very big game for them. They have the Bucks next week. If they win and beat the Lions, they're basically setting themselves up to win that division if they can beat Tampa next week as well. So this is a very meaningful game for Carolina. I think they pull off the small upset. Third game is gonna be New England. You know, it's been a very grueling stretch here for the Bengals. I have a feeling that they're gonna lay an egg in this game. They play Buffalo next week. I think New England comes up strong at home plus 138. We're kind of tracking the Parley. We're almost up at eight to one odds there with just three games. Fourth game is gonna be the Ravens. Same thing. Take that dome team, bring him into the cold. Atlanta's not gonna be able to handle that. So that's four of them. The fifth team, San Fran. This is what we call the free square in the bingo card because the Washington commanders are not gonna be able to go to San Fran and score any points. So now we're up to almost $300 for our $20 Parley. Here's my biggest upset of the week. Plus one 90 or plus one 62 on the Philadelphia Eagles to go into Dallas and win that game 13 and one. And they're an underdog. I don't think so. I think they're gonna pull off the upset in that game. That leaves two more. Vegas coming out of the dome, going to Pittsburgh. That's not gonna be an easy thing to do on the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. So give me the Steelers. Very small favorite there. And then we're gonna end it on Christmas. There's gonna be a little present under the tree that Baker Mayfield's gonna open for us. The Rams beating the Broncos. That makes that pay about 3,000. So $20, those 18 wins, we pick up $2,949, Lisa. Yeah, so everybody can go ahead and pay off their credit card bills from all the presidents they bought all December long. I love this segment. It's so much fun to look at those odd skyrocket right there with that $20 wager. Great stuff by you, Dave. Hey, tail Dave, create your own parlay, win big. You can do it right now on the Fandle Sports Book app. Be sure to use that promo code Morways1000 if you're new to us. And you can get those $1,000 back in site credit if you don't win your first bet. And you can also get in on the fun with Daily Fantasy. One stop shop right there on your phone. Fandle has a bunch of DFS Contest Live right now where you can win thousands of dollars on Fandle.com and of course on the app. So how do you give yourself an edge here in these Contest? Well, you got to find the best value at each position. So we bring in a ringer each and every week. Jim Sonnis is a senior writer and analyst for Number Fire. He has done the research for you. Jim, who are your best value plays here for week 16? Thanks, Lisa. With all the bad weather all this way, we gotta be a little bit picky with our value plays but I think we got three pretty good ones here after accounting for the weather. That begins a wide receive with DJ Chark coming in at $5,700. Chark basing off of the Panthers, predictable bad game last week for Chark, going up against the Jets really stout outside corners. Here, it's still a tough spot but not as tough and Chark has a 43% share of the Lions deep targets in the full games he has played this year. So Chark, I think back on the menu for the Lions this week. At quarterback, I actually don't mind the idea spending down for Gardner Minshu at $6,100. Minshu a big downgrade from Jalen Hertz but still a cable passer with a great infrastructure around him. A tremendous offensive line, really good pass catchers and playing indoors. So I think there's enough there for us to go and Minshu if you want to save Zarya quarterback. Finally at running back, I love Kenneth Walker III coming in at $6,900. Walker could get more targets this week with no time of locking for the Seahawks and he had a pretty good role despite his ankle injury last week. Now no practice for Walker on Tuesday but likely just maintenance. So Kenneth Walker III, we know he'll be involved. The Seahawks may be able to put up some points. So Kenneth Walker III, a really fun way Lisa to get a lot of volume at running back without spending a lot of salary. That's what we're always looking for. Thank you, Jim.

Coming up next, two of the AFC's top teams have very tough tests this week. Our experts break down which side you should bet in the Chiefs and Bengals games and why. Plus our present to you this week, best bets you can take to the bank. Our betting experts are coming in hot next. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Welcome back everybody. We're all about competition on this show. We're not trying to play nice around here. So we're gonna fire up our next debate where our experts go head to head with our ex-player. This is where we break down a couple of biggest matchups ahead of us in week 16. Both of our seasoned betting experts will debate this game with James, nine-year NFL vet, Super Bowl champ. I keep saying he just needs to wear all the bling on the show. We've got two wildly different perspectives going at it here. So we're gonna have a little fun guys. We've got a few games ahead of us and we're kicking it off with our expert versus our ex-player battle with the 11 and three Chiefs hosting the seven and seven Seahawks. Chiefs running back, Jarek Mckinnon. He stepped up the past two weeks. We've seen him doing his thing. Four total touchdowns, 256 total yards in those games, including the game winning 26 yard touchdown run in overtime last week. Don't get me started on that game but let's talk about Seattle. They've lost four of five to fall one spot outside of this playoff picture in the NFC. Dave, the Chiefs are giving 10 at Arrowhead. How do you see this one? Well, the way I see this is that even if Seattle loses this game, they get two home games to close out the season, one against the Jets and one against the Rams. If they just tank in this spot and they win their last two games with Washington most likely losing to San Francisco this week, they're not really gonna lose any ground. If they can win their last two, they're still in good shape. Tyler Lockett had surgery on his hand but Pete Carroll said that he might be available next week. He's definitely out this week. So I'm thinking there's a scenario here, James, where they know even if they play a really good game, they're still probably gonna lose to the Chiefs. Is it possible? You're the X player. Could you just save something this game? Admit that you're gonna lose and then come out strong in the last two weeks. I'm not saying they're gonna totally lay down but I can see them not going a hundred percent in this spot. Dave, you play to win the game. Every time? All right. Every single time. I mean, and they know they're outnumbered but I mean, they're gonna go out there and they're gonna try to win the ballgame. I promise you right now the talk in Seattle right now in their team meeting is we are gonna go out here and beat the Kansas City Chiefs and upset these boys and get back on track. And you gotta believe that they're gonna think like that because they haven't been a solid football team yet. They haven't been playing bad football. They're on a losing streak and all that good stuff. But at the same time, this team has won some big games this year. Geno Smith is a pro bowler playing on a high level. So they're gonna think they could come in here and win the game. They are gonna get beat up. We know that the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the best teams in the National Football League. They are at home. They are probably mad that they're coming off a tough win against the Houston, Texas where they didn't play their best football. It's gonna be a beat down by the Kansas City Chiefs. Seattle is in trouble because I don't know if they're gonna get past the Jets either. And I'm hoping a little bit, Dave, because my backers still got a chance to get in there. So I don't wanna see any NFC team on the bubble win. We're gonna just have some new t-shirts made for the Seahawks that say you play to cover the spread. Yes? All right, Pony, you're our expert for this next game. A tough road test year for the 10 and four Bengals. Cincinnati at the seven and seven Patriots. Bengals have won six in a row, including a 17 point comeback against the Bucks last week. Meanwhile, the Patriots have lost three of four, including that crazy lateral loss on the last play of the game last week against the Raiders. I watched that a hundred times and still could not figure that out. All right, Pony, let's talk about this game though. The Bengals are giving three. Yeah, this is a classic trap game for the Cincinnati Bengals because of where they go next. So the Bengals play the Bills next week. That is a hugely important game in terms of seeding and setting things up for the playoffs and those two teams measuring themselves up against each other. Whereas for New England, they gotta get the stink and the bad taste out of just blowing that game out of their mouths. And Bill Belichick historically, James, in these situations, I remember when that Miami miracle happened, when the Dolphins hit that hook and ladder play and beat them, that team went on to win the Super Bowl. So I don't expect New England to do that obviously, but I also don't think they'll be deflated. I don't think they'll pack it in. It's gonna be awful weather too. And I think you add that up in New England, not only covers, I think they win this game outright, Saturday. Well, Pony, I'm not gonna say you're crazy, but you are crazy. And that team was led by Tom Brady to go down there and win the Super Bowl. It's two things here. Number one, have you been watching Cincinnati? Because Cincinnati is clicking on all cylinders. I mean, they can win the game in any type of fashion. They need to win the game. Good defense, closed game, gotta grind one out, they'll win. Blow somebody out, gotta score points with anybody. They can do that. I mean, you seen them against Tampa Bay, dig themselves in a hole, and then come back out of their climate. JoJo Burrow in my humble opinion, and a lot of people that don't have him in there right now, but the way he's playing football right now, the way he has his team playing, he should be in that MVP conversation. James, they're on to Cincinnati. Remember, Belichick said that, we're on to Cincinnati. This is their Super Bowl, brother. This is it, right here. I understand what Bill Belichick is saying, but Bill Belichick's football team is not good. So it's good, you saying you're on the way to Cincinnati to go to Belichick, but your football team is not good. I watched it with my own two eyes against the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend. And yes, everybody's going to that very last play, but this offense is not good. They cannot create explosive plays. The defense, yes, they are good. They get after the passer, but if you cannot score points of the best of them, you are not going to win too many games. Mack Jones is playing bad football right now. They have two offensive coordinators. That means you don't have one. And that's what you are seeing on the offensive side of the ball. Bill Belichick, Patriots team, is going to end up at home for the playoffs. They're going to take a big ale against the Cincinnati Bengals. This one here is over. JoJo Burrell is not going to lose this game, and they are going to be riding high to be able to play the Buffalo Bills next week for a big one. All right, for our betters, hopefully they just lose by two or less. Okay, let's see. Let's get to our best bets of the week here. I expressed a giving them out in the form of a spread, money line and total bet. It's part of our weekly competition where each of our guys gets 100 virtual dollars for those three bets. Both of you guys went two and one last week. Dave had the better wagering strategy. Check it out. Hitting on his $55 spread bet on those guys. $25 over bet on the Cowboys Jax game. Making more of a fitting box. Look at you. You're hot, Dave. Keep it up. What you got for week 16? Yeah, that best bet has been clicking. That's why I try to put the most money on that spread bet that I like. So I'm going to do that again. $55 on the San Francisco 49ers to skunk Washington. I think they win that game. 27-nothing, I'm willing to lay the seven and a half points against an offense. It's not going to be able to score going into San Francisco. My upset of the week is going to be the Carolina Panthers to win as a baby pup at home. Small dog, plus one 20-ish, I think. There you go, yeah. And then my total. So much bad weather throughout the week. There's one game where we're going to have sunny skies and that's in Miami, where the Packers seem to be clicking a little bit more than they were early in the year offensively. We know Miami has a high-flying offense as well. So I'll take the over in that game for my remaining $25. All right, I'm going to start with the Monday nighter. I'm going to take the Colts against the Chargers. Andrew, what are you doing? Did you see them collapse in the fourth quarter? Yes, I did, but four out of their five games under Jeff Saturday have been one possession games. And really for three quarters, they had the worst fourth quarter of all time against the Cowboys, but they got outscored by 33 points. But look, I think that they can keep it close against the Chargers. Now it's Nick Boles at quarterback. And we know whenever the Chargers look like they're going to go on a run, here comes the banana peel. So I think the Colts play it close Monday night at home. The Moneyline pick. I'm going with the Saints. I know the Browns are favored. Maybe they'll have some weather against the Dome team, but look at what the Saints defense has done. Last three opponents under 20 points. And to Sean Watson still doesn't look right. In Baltimore, he only had 161 passing yards. I like the Saints to keep themselves alive in the NFC South. And then Dave, I agree with you on the Panthers, but that's why I'm taking the under in this game, because their path to victory is to run the ball and run the clock. And if they win, they've got to keep a high scoring team to a low number. So I'm going to go with the under in that one. Panthers and Lions. I know I'm not the only one that laughed at that banana peel comment, by the way. All right, some interesting strategies there. We will see which one is the best after this weekend and we will air their results on next week's show. Hit up the Fandalsports book now to place your bets before kickoff. And remember, a lot of these games are kicking off on Saturday this week. Coming up, it's money line, money maker time. Last week in this very segment, JJ told you the Jags would beat the Cowboys. Yup, Duvall County came through. He's got another bold pick this week. That's next, stay with us. Fandal TV is coming right back. Happy holidays, everybody. Welcome back to more ways to win here on Fandal TV. Thanks for hanging with us this weekend. We are shouting out some of our betting markets with rapid fire predictions. Giddy up, let's go, guys. You know the drill. I give you the line. You give me your pick in 15 seconds or less. Pony, we're starting with you. You're in Pittsburgh, Steelers hosting the Raiders. Your boys, they're giving two and a half. Yeah, I like the Raiders in this spot. I do not expect a lot of fans at this game because of the timing of it. Christmas Eve night and the unbelievably cold temperatures. Derrick Carr, eight touchdowns to one interception all time against the Steelers. I think Vegas gets the job done. Okay, Dave, Bills, they're in Chicago. Bears are getting eight and a half. What do you think? I don't think the Bills are as good as they were last year. They're supposed to be this team that just throttles everybody week in and week out and they haven't done that. And I think they're still getting too much credit on the line to be laying eight and a half on the road. No, thank you. I think the Bears can cover that spread. Pony, Baltimore is a big seven and a half point home favorite against the Falcons. That line's still seven and a half. How do you see this one? As they should be. The Ravens strength is stopping the run that's all Atlanta can do offensively now with a rookie quarterback under center. The Ravens are third in the league in run defense. They will blow out Atlanta here. All right, Dave, let's talk the Titans. Ryan Tannehill reportedly out for the season with that ankle injury. Rookie Malik Willis getting the start. Tennessee's giving three and a half to the Texans. I'll take the points. You know, Texans are four and one against his brother last five in the AFC South. Too many question marks right now involving the Titans. Okay, great stuff, guys. From quick picks to upset alerts here, we're back on the Moneyline. We're back dropping Moneyline money makers for you right now. We're giving them the Betmoji treatment. You're welcome, America. Hey, James, the guys will react to your upset pick with the appropriate emoji. Before we get to your pick, though, we have to shout you out for week 15. We had so much fun on the show last week. We're on the tech stream talking about it. The Jags doing the business against the Cowboys when it straight up. I want to give me a big duval before we make this week's pick. Duval. Yes, I was going to go like, do you know 12 U's right there? All right, awesome stuff. What do you see here for week 16? Who's our upset pick? Well, I'm hopeful. I'm hoping that I'm as lucky as last week and I'm right on the money, but I'm going with my Green Bay Packers to go into Miami and upset Tula and the Dolphins. Listen, the Packers are playing the right football at the right time and they are just finding ways to win. I'm not saying it all looks pretty and just going 30 points a game, but they know who they are. They got the two young studs back, the rookie receivers back in Romeo and Christian Watson. You've got a really good run game in Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. It's cold weather. It's not going to be cold in Miami, but it's cold weather season. The Green Bay Packers are rolling at the right time. They are going to go in to Miami with their playoff hopes on the line and get a big, big dummy. Easy to make a homer pick, but guys, a dunk or pass that in. I like the pick, but that's for that Lombardi trophy behind you, James. You stole that from my Steelers. What's making that lane? You see it? You see it. I see it. Yeah, that's a sneaky photo bomb. We were all talking about it in the studio like, hey, James, move over a little bit. Let me see your shiny friend behind you. Oh, that's awesome. What a flex. Right?

Time to load up your rosters here. Jim Sonnis is back with his can't miss list for week 16. Hey, Jim. Thanks, Lisa. Even with weather impacting a lot of the key games on this slate, I still think there are a lot of studs well worth their high salaries. That begins at wide receiver, DK Metcalf coming in at $8,000. No Tyler Lockett in this game and Metcalf has been getting a lot of work even while playing alongside Lockett this year. Metcalf is a good enough player where you know he can get open even with increased attention on him. So I do like Marquise Goodman to 58 as they fill in here for Lockett, but Metcalf, well worth the salary and worth prioritizing at wide receiver. And running back, I like Saquon Barkley a lot. Coming in at $8,500. It's a tough ground matchup with the Vikings this week, but Barkley is getting enough work in the passing game to still make him viable. Averaging 4.6 targets per game this year across his full games. This is one of the better games on the slate in terms of the high total, pretty tight spread too. So Saquon Barkley, a fun way to get exposure to one of the more stackable games on the main slate. Finally, I want to get to Christian McCaffrey coming in at $9,400. I do like Derek Henry II against Houston, but it's really hard to turn down McCaffrey with how much work he is getting right now. In the games he has played, the full games he's played with no Eli Mitchell McCaffrey, it's actually 146.5 total yards per game and at 69% of the team's total red zone chances. It is a tough matchup here with Washington, but McCaffrey, just getting too much work right now to ignore it. So Christian McCaffrey, 94 leads. So I think he's back to being the vintage McCaffrey from back in his Carolina days. My man, yes, set your line up to fandal.com, follow Jim on Twitter at Jimsonus.

All right, flip the switch here. We're headed to prime time for our Sunday and Monday night showdowns, guys. I wanna bring you both back in here to get your take on these games. We're gonna start with a Sunday night game. We've got the Buccaneers at the Cardinals. Dave, Cardinals QB, Trace McSorley gets his first NFL start because, hey, Colt McCoy is out with that concussion. He's sitting there in the concussion protocol. Arizona, a seven and a half point underdog. Which side do you like in this matchup? To me, to lay seven and a half with Tampa right now, the way that their offensive line is playing is a risky deal because not Brady is. He's not really had time to get comfortable and throw to his receivers and score a lot of points. Like we're used to seeing that Tampa Bay offense doing. So I actually think this could be a lower scoring game and Arizona keeping it close enough to cover. I like getting the hook as well. Plus seven and a half for me. I'll take the Cardinals. All right. Okay, so Pony, sorry. Pony, I thought you had something to say about that one. Let's get to the Monday night matchup here. The Chargers at the Colts. There's a QB news in this game as well. The Colts will start, Nick. Fulls under center after benching Matt Ryan. Indy's getting four and a half points at home. Pony, who do you like? Yeah, the Chargers are winning games but they're winning games ugly. I mean, they needed every second, all 60 minutes to beat a Titans team that was really without Ryan Tannehill late because of the injury that he suffered. A team that had lost four in a row. So now they go on the road, it's a quarterback change. We know Nick Fulls, you know, the guy finds a way to win a lot of games. That's been his calling card as a Super Bowl champion. So I just don't trust the Chargers when the line's four and a half. Maybe if it was below three but the fact that it's four and a half. No, I think the Colts played well for three quarters against the Vikings and I think they'll keep this game close and maybe even win it Monday night. All right, our producer, Vishal Mappar is yelling in my ear that we have just a few minutes left in the show which means it is time to hit up futures bets on the board right now. And one of the most popular ones, will a team make the playoffs? It's an easy yes or no bet. It's for everyone here. Dave and James, let's start with one of the best stories of the NFL season. The Detroit Lions, they won six of seven. Two creep into playoff contention here. The odds for this bet, they're right there on your screen, Dave. Yes or no? Do the Lions get into the post season? I say no. A loss this week would be a death blow to their chances and I think they're gonna lose because I like Carolina. So when they lose this week, it's a big no. That's it. No, no. Okay. Save your money. Put it elsewhere. That is a wrap. Week 16 is here. We've got you ready. Check out all the bets we talked about and so much more on the Fandall Sportsbook app right now. Thank you for hanging with us. Thanks for hanging with us with every week here. Happy holidays from all of us at Fandall. Enjoy the games and good luck with your bets.
