 Yeah, this is a look outside the Los Angeles Convention Center just a few more days until this city hosts Super Bowl 56 radio row absolutely buzzing with fans. A lot more media members as we hear a halfway through the week and media including Fandals Sportsbooks more ways to win. That's right. Guests are dropping by our set dropping some hot takes today including Charles Davidson house talking about the Broncos quarterback for next year. I've heard from too many insiders too many sources I've heard too many it makes too much sense for us not to get Aaron Rodgers prediction right coming through about the Broncos at quarterback unbelievable you're gonna hear more from TV TV coming up a little bit later in the show just a few more minutes actually he's kind of off the top of the show what's up everybody Lisa Kearney here with the more ways to win crew got Dave Pony Cole and Ed everybody's in house we are betting this game Rams Bengals ahead of us with of course a sports betting twist guys what do you think about that prediction by the way Aaron Rodgers to the Bengals to the Broncos I like that he says us you know once a Broncos always a Broncos I would have to say you know some people I mean if he's saying that maybe it's true. I think he played with a quarterback that still has huge say in the organization you know when we first heard that went right to the Fan Duel sportsbook app you can already bet next year Super Bowl the Broncos 22 to 1 say mods as the Browns Dave the Packers are 15 to 1 right here if that would happen in there hey that's a great pick and if the Broncos are looking to sell the franchise if you have a quarterback who could potentially get you a Vince Lombardi trophy immediately that would help jack the price of just a little bit there's always a backdoor deal when you have these you know high quality free agents they always go somewhere random and I feel like that's probably what's going to happen here no offense to try to rain on his parade at well you know but still it always is like a backdoor deal a random team the Saints like trying to buy a grand when it comes to those backdoor deals. They can just keep going we're going to talk a lot more about the quarterback to the Broncos we're going to talk a lot more from TD lots more ahead from him we have also former league MVP Sean Alexander stopping by our set today and as always we're breaking down the game with our one and only betting twist again let's get right to it guys and I got a reminder before we dig in hat to all of that fun a reminder that you can place all the bets that we're talking about in this show on the Fandals sportsbook app and for all of our new users hey welcome everybody sign up for your new account using the promo code more ways 1000 to get your first bet risk-free up to 1000 bucks. All right let's just dig in here guys okay so I mentioned the Rams in the Bengals because we've got two teams left we've got a big Super Bowl ahead of us this line has been back and forth between four between four and a half it's now four Rams giving four in this one got your picks the last few days so now I want to ask you guys do you feel like this line is going to stay where it is Dave what do you think well I would think okay you go back to the beginning of the year the Bengals were 150 to one to win the Super Bowl their win total was six and a half you know that was I think the the Jets and the Texans maybe had a lower number like who's betting the Bengals right I think if this line moves it's it's going to five before going to three because people want to bet the Rams the Rams as Lisa pointed out throughout the week they were the fourth choice to win the Super Bowl there's no surprise but really are there that many Bengals betters out there I don't think so see now that's funny you say that because I've heard that most of the public action has been on the Bengals plus four so I thought you were gonna say it's gonna come down to three and a half which would say the other way if it moves all left to five if that happens wow does that make you rethink the bet no you stick with Rams minus five I still lay it yep well I think it might go down to three and a half like you were saying it seems a little bit rich for a lot of people's blood if it goes up to four and a half maybe five back up to that but when you take a look at Cincinnati what have they been able to do all season long win those close ball games and if the close-knit contest is what they're going to get into even when they're down they're not out so I think that it's gonna maybe shrink just a little bit this game's gonna be a little closer than people think it one of the big questions for this week is what kind of home field advantage will the Rams have here Cincinnati is here there are compelling arguments to be made that there will not be much of a home field advantage because the Bengals are already here it's a Super Bowl so it gets a little corporate and it's a championship game and see championship games a little bit torn so there are a lot of compelling arguments as to why there isn't a home field damage but I do feel like that on Sunday when you start to see more of a Rams vibe then it will start to push toward four and a half and maybe five and for me if it does become minus five I might go Cincinnati plus five in that situation and we're to talk more about this matchup specifically a little bit later in the show but I want to now I want to welcome you guys into my own little prop party here and Dave and Pony I'm gonna get right to it we got Matthew Stafford we got over under two and a half touchdowns on Sunday how do you play it Dave now remember these have to be passing touchdowns because I actually think he's gonna run one in no you don't would not count so I think Stafford's gonna get one on the ground and I think Cam Acre is gonna run one on the ground how many touchdowns does that leave in the air for the rest of the game I'm gonna say he gets two I'm gonna say they're gonna do a lot of their scoring on the ground so I'm gonna say it goes under free advice anytime touchdown score Stafford you got to bet that now Graham's on him to run one in I'm going over you know I was so down on Stafford late in the regular season those turnovers were creeping back in I have a feeling that this is gonna be his time they traded for him to win this game not get here Cole Jared Goff did that he was dealt to win this Super Bowl and I think he gets at least two touchdowns in mind so yes though over I'm he's with me he's thrown eight touchdown passes this post season 905 yards and he's playing it Bengals defense that doesn't defend well in the air so I think to over two and a half I might just go ahead and take that Cooper Cup everybody but you can also bet on the defensive side so let's get to that for a colon add you guys Aaron Donald over or under four and a half tackles plus assists goal well only one game with more than four and a half tackles so far in this edition of the post season but we do know that Aaron Donald what is he well he's a taste maker he's that guy that it really puts everyone on notice and what's gonna happen in this ball game is I feel like he's gonna just try to get through and get to Joe Burrow we saw Joe Burrow sacked nine times last time like like a Ferris Bueller's day off imitation but either way I think Aaron Donald is gonna get there and he's gonna have more than four and a half tackled even though it's not the numbers that normally show up on the stat line but I think this time there's gonna be some big numbers showing up for Aaron Donald on the one hand Aaron Donald may very well be the goat the what the Rams do in terms of moving around is absolutely fantastic but on the other hand ever since they picked up von Miller the quarterback pressure rate has gotten worse von Miller has not improved this overall defense and so to me I think the plan for the Bengals is to go the exact opposite direction of Aaron Donald and I feel like they may have some success with that so I'm going under yeah nine postseason tackles we'll see all right you guys love lots more to get into on props

guys paired me up with Brian Urlacher right only the best against the best you know Brian it's you listen I was I was actually shocked because the man's golf game is it's tight yeah I don't know if you've seen him play golf you guys ever see Urlacher play golf I see you I see he's got a hair hold on don't start with me don't you start with me on this set right here oh wow look you have a lot of in your bag listen man when I play this game when I play cold in golf it's it's it's I mean it's embarrassing it's embarrassing for him oh I've never seen anybody who's always like you beat him in the hole right you get three he'll get like a six but he'll go back to his drive and like I'll drove you like who cares if you I drove me little victories there is a game randomizer we're utilizing on Saturday so we don't know maybe you're playing beer pong maybe it's darts well maybe we'll stay steer clear of the golf golf situation as best we can but I just want to know you have any trash talk for Urlacher before we before we get there you know I'm not I'm not the guy that trash talks I'm not that guy I just go out there and I just I just had my business you know I've done that that's that's been my career Saturday's gonna be a blast excited to have you there but I know these guys want to chat a little football to you wear the Super Bowl rings this week the gold jacket what gets more action the rings or the jacket the jacket gets more because we have more events for that okay and it's it's kind of required right you got to wear that we have the luncheon and we have some other events that after so when do you wear the Super Bowl rings when you know what I don't wear them I don't I don't I don't bring them out as much as I probably should right I think I think I might start start wearing those I just don't man like you know I wear them I wear them to events where it might be a corporate event they say hey listen you know come in there you might do some kind of talk or something then I'll bring them in I'll let the people I'll actually give it to get give it to them and let them just pass it around the room so they can see it yeah goldjack gets a lot of play a few Super Bowls at a dinner and some guy was head to toe in not just a gold jacket but gold pants as well was not the real McCoy we had a good laugh about that but when it comes to football on the gridiron in Denver Denver Broncos obviously not members of this postseason tournament so is it just as simple as being able to find that quarterback so they can get back to basic city what is it well they've gotten you know they've changed coaches I think that helps I think Nathaniel Hackett is man his energy is it's incredible right so to have him with that energy coming in to kind of just restore reset on the on the mentality and just bring some fresh voice into that building what is going to be key and after that yeah I think a quarterback is this kind of the position that we can upgrade so if they upgrade a quarterback with the coaching staff you never know you see the bangers man the jump they made this year phenomenal right with because that quarterback was healthy so absolutely man you know that's the most important position in football QB so I guess where's the Super Bowl next year anybody know Arizona Arizona Broncos will be there really I'm calling it right now is Aaron Rodgers taking you guys there absolutely yeah yeah do you see Rodgers as the next Broncos quarterback I do and I'm not just I'm not playing I'm serious and it I've heard I've heard from too many insiders too many sources I've heard too many it makes too much sense for us not to get Aaron Rodgers and I and that's the talk of Denver I'm in Denver now so I hear the daily talk on radio and I hear it and it sounds like that is the most likely scenario for the Broncos is to bring in Aaron Rodgers it helps that Nathaniel Hackett his OOC is our head coach now it helps I'm not saying that was the reason but that helps wonder if any of those sources rhyme with bond gelway maybe I don't know I don't know he's kind of important in Denver yeah something like that's a little bit yeah I want to talk about this game though the two teams that are still playing seem to have different philosophies when it comes to the running game certainly with the Rams can makers seems to be the guy but they'll go to Sonny Michelle when necessary but when it comes to the Bengals Joe Mixon is the guy which philosophy do you like more sort of a split backfield or one where you have an obvious start you know it's interesting as a player I want to be the guy I want the one back philosophy I don't I don't need you to have a another back just me I'll get it done but if I'm a coach I like to have the two back approach to where I have a guy sort of a different makeup might be smaller might be more quick than you got your big bruiser back it just gives you options and that's really what you want in the game is do I have options to attack the defense the way I need to need to go to attack them and that's really what it is it's about because once you get into a game and you stuck with your personnel sometimes you're limited but if you have that two back approach I think that's that's when to go with and especially when you have different defenses you want to handle different matchups it's not just you know one size fits all kind of back you want to be able to do different things absolutely and that's what I'm saying so there's not only like personnel but it's formations it's being able to come out there and say alright where's our matchup what are they doing when we put two backs on the field or we put this guy out there and I just live in a world where you see too many coaches when they don't have the ability to have what I call a right in the left punch right they're always one had their center fighting with the left they don't have that right and I think that not only with the passing game but it also comes in the form of having two backs who can do both things do you think the underdog card the bangles can play yeah helps them because you guys want a Super Bowl that way everyone's ain't all the Packers are gonna do it again what about the Rams though should they should they have the underdog card to their home though I know but think about their playoff run to right like they're they're not a number one see you have two seeds there's not even four seats exactly it's never happened before never happened so you have you have you have two teams or say listen man we can play that card all we want to but I think the bangles absolutely young but their young team hungry team it's almost like when we play the 97 Elway that not for the man for the Rams got the Rams could play that the Matthew Stafford card which is win one for Matthew win one for Aaron Donna win one for you know there's Odell Odell right you have all these names I think the bangles will because they're young not to say that they'll be okay if they lose but when you're young sometimes you're like you know what less pressure on them we'll we'll get here again the older guys are like listen man this might be it this might be it yeah I'm gonna I'm thirsty right now let me show you about performance taking care of your body you know product placement product placement was my where's my shot

Hall of Famer TD here with us and you know I'm not gonna let you go without asking any wins on Sunday I got I got already have it all here we go 27-24 oh great minds okay so who got 27 who do you think I 27 that's all that's the question I'm gonna rams man I'm gonna I'm gonna rams I'm gonna rams 27-24 in a game like this I do think that it's a game that the experience or or the hunger from the older guys is too much for the desire of the younger guys and that you know the Joe Burroughs and then the bangles really I mean it's they're on a hell of a run and I think they they can win the game but I think it's over time no this is still one of those last last second field goes you know that's how I got this thing going down three-point game it's gonna be a good one it's well Davis you're

how we roll so we turn to senior writer and editor for number fire Jim Sonnis who gives us his top value place for this big game ahead of us on Sunday hey Jim thanks Lisa yeah still some stuff to be decided with injuries for Super Bowl 56 but I do still think there's some good values we can talk about right now that starts with van Jefferson checking in at $7,000 he could benefit of Tyler Higbee cannot go for the Rams because Jefferson's role has been frankly quite bad during the playoffs just a 9% target share but still 24% of the deep targets and he's had two weeks to rest his shoulder and knee injuries Jefferson is risky but I do think there is some reward to his profile I also like Sony Michelle on the Rams at $7,500 Michelle I would expect to be the third down back for the Rams because that's what he was during the conference championship Michelle in that game played 14 of 18 third down snaps according to next-gen stats compared to his three stats for can makers and that was happening even before can makers dinged up his shoulder it's prefer Michelle's a pass blocker which means he could get some dump boss which could inflate his score so acres to the lead back the Michelle worth a look given the low salary the final guy I'm targeting here is Tyler Boyd at $8,500 Boyd is kind of like Jefferson where you don't expect a ton of overall volume but it's enough where he could get by at this salary Boyd during the playoffs has a 14% target share but that goes up to 29% when the Bengals are inside the red zone so maybe a flukey touchdown maybe some yards to go with it and that's enough for Boyd to pay off $8,500 and I think relative to guys in this range you can expect Boyd's snap rate to be very high so three options here as of right now again key track of the injuries specifically to CJ Uzama and Tyler Higby but I think we should be able to squeeze in the studs we want for Super Bowl 56 so I'm talking about Jim always love having Jim on the show now take Jim's information such a lineup for the $56,000 super showdown presented by Irish spring and remember it is free and you can sign up right now fandal.com slash league slash Irish dash spring it is

All right now is the moment that you've all been waiting for. I got this super star sitting right next to me and I got to bring him in I want to bring in a special guest to the more ways to inset former Seahawks running back Sean Alexander in house give it up awesome having the league MVP here with us Sean up thanks for being with us here on radio row in Los Angeles it's been a minute since we're hanging out together Seattle friend and that's awesome yeah so family's big I know life is good brand new baby baby number 12 maybe number 12 9 girls 3 boys oh my goodness no how's life you sleeping it's good no no sleepy was thrown out like five years ago but but it's good like you know we we can't complain love being a family you know I'm always promoting family and teamwork and so it's all going good your great role model in this business Sean it is so good to see you great to have you on set you know I'm gonna ask you for your Super Bowl pick but first I want to ask you about this buildup because you played in Super Bowl 50 you been here in this moment what are the Rams and Bengals feeling now halfway through the week as they lead up to the Super Bowl you know it's a little different for the Bengals because they're so young and so new to this the Rams are kind of like you know they're hungry couple of their guys have been in it before so for the Bengals they're feeling like we felt you know taken an organization that's never been in it before and now they're like man we're almost here to go play this game awesome Dave Weaver's got a question for you yeah let's talk about the backfields okay you know the Rams kind of been more of a committee this year partly because of injuries you know can make us did a good job Henderson maybe he still comes back and gets a few carry Sony Michelle but Nixon's kind of been the guy all year yeah for the Bengals but if you compare the two backfields who do you think really has the stronger core running backs you know the the Bengals are really special Joe Nixon's a great running back he ran a run in the in the championship game where it was slant off to the right and most guys were taking to start bending it back and eating up catching themselves and he just put his foot down and kind of had the just the perfect angle and it gained like 10 8 10 12 yards and if the Bengals just wanted to do that he could control the game and that's one of things that no one's paying attention to because they see Joe and all the great receivers and they're thinking oh man we got but they've got a great running back that could actually take over the game and he's he's healthy and he's strong so I think the Bengals have the advantage when it comes to the run game first thing roll tide roll dad got to get that in there right hundred percent yeah I want to talk about this Rams backfield a little bit more because I've got this theory that I want to run by you and get your thoughts on so going back to the Bucks Rams game cam anchors had a couple of fumbles that could have been absolutely deadly for him and ever since then he has not had the same number of carries like in that NFC championship game Sonny Michelle had a much bigger role I'm wondering how much of a role that cam anchors is going to have in the Super Bowl if maybe he'll be scaled back a little bit that he won't be the bell cow back and I'm wondering from your perspective when a running back either because of injury or whatever reason is quote unquote in the doghouse how do you get out of that yeah that's a great question I think the doghouse is one of those things that a special play has to be made to remind you why that guy was so amazing and so but I like Sonny Michelle I do I think he's a great running back but when you when you fumble especially in big games the coach he loses trust and you know once it gets down to games trust is everything and so I he's gonna have amazing work to get out of the doghouse for a Super Bowl because it doesn't really happen I'm gonna follow up on that you want a regular season MVP yeah what do you think it would take for a running back to win Super Bowl MVP what kind of game would a running back have to have to get that hardware at the end Sean you know it's it's it's unique you know when we played ours there was a point in the game I think we threw the pass to Jeremy Stevens he's on the one-yard line and they caught a flag random okay let it go right but but we were we were losing 10 to 14 and I think if I'd have scored score I touched it out I had a hundred yards and a touchdown and it had been 17 to 14 it had been that kind of vibe and they'd have been like oh it's kind of a fighting game Sean MVP hundred yards for one touchdown that takes the lead it takes a moment like that you know Marshall Lynch of course back in it didn't even get the opportunity to carry the ball on the wall so you know so it takes like the touchdown to win the game and have a hundred yards with it and it has to be a very close score so then it kind of has that vibe of he controlled the game for the team Sean we are just a couple days away from the biggest game of these guys careers their lives the Rams and Bengals are sitting here halfway through the week they're trying to figure out how best to prep some of them have been here some of them haven't what's your advice for any of these players that are getting prepped to play in Super Bowl 56 on Sunday you know I think part of enjoying the game is just saying hey you know at this moment's big I'm gonna look around I'm gonna enjoy it but I remember all the Seth Meyers and Saturday Night Live guys texting me through the whole weekend and I just remember saying man this is great I'm gonna put the phone up when it gets to Thursday and I'm just gonna go play ball and so it's enjoying all of it but putting it down and saying hey this moment's gonna be so much better if we win and knowing that you're gonna have that right balance real quick who is gonna win Super Bowl 56 Sean is it gonna be the Rams is it gonna be the Bengals I'm going with my heart even though paper I feel like the Rams should win but I'm gonna go with the Bengals Joe Burrow Joe Mixon Wow we're shocking the world let's go
