Money Moves | September 2, 2026 | Hour 1

0:00this is B-Syn. These sports betting networks. This is Money Moves on B-Syn. These sports betting networks. What is day, what is day, happy Wednesday, everybody? This is Money Moves on B-Syn. These sports betting networks. Stormy Bontoni, Jonathan Vontobl, hanging out with you for the next couple hours. And right off the hop today, we got some news that wasn't really news. Because we already knew that Kurt Cousins was going to be the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, didn't we? No, not at all. What he's talking about. This was absolutely a controversy that we needed to have a final result with, which was we had no idea who the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders was going to be. It's not like Clint Cubiac right before training kept announced that Kurt Cousins was the starting quarterback heading into camp. There's no indication whatsoever that that was the case, although there's many headlines. Yeah, come on now. We knew that this was going to be the case. I am amazed that this was continued to be thrown around as a topic of conversation.

1:02We've talked about it a thousand times. Anybody would have a brain to cover the Raiders. I would think knew that as well. I mean, even in the preseason week two, when you've got Fernando Mendoza out there with all the twos, and Kurt Cousins just on the sideline in a hoodie, like that alone before even thinking about the fact that, yes, Clint Cubiac told us before the preseason began, what the plan was going to be. You could at least read between the lines from that standpoint. Now the question automatically for everyone across the country becomes, okay, well, when will we see Fernando Mendoza to which you already told us on Monday? You don't think you see in the field period. No, I don't think at all. So we'll see if that's actually the case, but I know a lot of people are really excited for the new era, whatever it is. Cubiac himself said he needed another preseason as well. Yeah, pretty more preseason games. So I just look, this Raiders team wants to win. I also think there's a reason why they kept Adonoconl. I am of the belief that, and we talked about this in part of the futures. We'll put a clip out on social media coming up here in a little bit. So you can still find Fernando Mendoza's passing yards in the range of like 1900. That was a fandall if I remember the last look, but if you bet that, I think it's worth looking at because I just I don't think he's going to see the field man.

2:07And I even think there's an argument to be made that if Kurt Cousins get injured, gets injured. Excuse me if I can speak English that it would turn to Adonoconl. They wouldn't turn to Fernando Mendoza. And part of it is protecting Fernando Mendoza himself. We have seen many quarterbacks come into this league and have their confidence shot and their ability to play the position just get absolutely destroyed playing behind bad offensive lines, losing their confidence, whatever it is. And I don't think they want that to happen to Fernando Mendoza. I think they want him to be as ready as possible. And you're not going to put your top overall pick out here behind the bad offensive line. It sounds cold, but it's almost like you know the preseason when they sign guys and they're like, sorry man, we just need somebody to eat some reps. It's like we just need your body to take the punishment instead of the important pieces. I think that might be Adonoconl's role here. Well, and I'll say to you just with the integration that we are coming to the understanding that Tom Brady has with this team at this point in his minor ownership position. He's very, very involved in the Fernando Mendoza development side. And he has talked a lot about how more quarterbacks in the NFL are ruined than they are developed and grown and all of that kind of stuff.

3:08So if you agree with JVT, if you think there's a possibility, he doesn't see the field at all today or the season rather on call she right now. There is a win will for an ando Mendoza start his first NFL game market out there. That's the best bang for your buck that you're going to get of all of the potential start dates. Eight percent is the chance on that one. 19% your favorite is week 11 to week 14. And of course week 13 is where the Raiders buy is and a lot of people have maybe targeted that in the back end of the season. Doesn't go the way people think it will or if it does go rather the way people think that it will. That that could be the opportunity. It could be but what's their game coming out of the buy. It's a lot of stainless charge or something to tell you. Chargers Broncos back to back week. Right. So it's like, hey, here you go. Rookie behind a bad offensive line in our season is shot. Go take on a team two teams maybe that might be competing for a top spot in the AFC and maybe want two of the better defenses in the NFL. And honestly, that's how pretty much all of their schedule is beyond the first few weeks of the season. You there's a spot maybe ahead of week eight when you're in New York taking on the jets.

4:11But then you've got the 49ers see hawks and Broncos right after that. So there are not a lot of weak spots on the Raiders schedule for that opportunity to come. Okay, we will we've got a couple great guests on deck today as well. We're going to talk through some fantasy because it is that time where everybody's got the drafts coming up. Kendall Valenswale of fantasy life is going to join us a little bit later on this hour. We're also going to have professional better Christmas. Sarah give us some of his picks. He also has an opinion on one of your other comedy crazy butts from Monday. Well, I'll discuss, but let's set the table for everything else to come here on money moves time for the rundown. It's time for the top headlines and topics of the day. This is the rundown. It's an exciting day here at Money Moves strike. You're caching if you are a good friend Justin Emory making his visa.com writing debut. Our producer here of money moves has had an affinity for a long time for K prop betting that he parlayed this season into betting the daily strike out leader and found a system in process that can benefit all of you at home as well as you look to cash in the rest of the season.

5:11Yep, well, I have a lot of details on that. We're just going to be so that can read the articles up there right now so you can dive into it. You don't need us to tell you about it. Be some dot com. Well, you're there by the way. Be some dot com. Subscribe 99 for the introductory offer, but just as a great job. It's been all over this all season. And we have like normal baseball stuff to get to too with a somewhat decent slate and some day games going on right now. But your podra is doing. They're down one right now. Well, plenty of time. Thanks for that though. I do have a bet for one of the day games that's coming up as well that we will make sure we give out speaking of West Coast teams though. It is West Coast bias our first of the college football season coming up today looking at some of the. I don't want to say marquee because it's an interesting slate for week one as we discussed a little bit yesterday on the show. But a few games with some betting opportunities, including things that you and I have had it. I mean, come on now. If you are a true college football fan in sicko, you are looking forward to Santa's day's data distribution. And you are excited to watch Saturday night. Washington State take on Washington in a weird apple cup setting or Western Kentucky on the road against Nevada.

6:12There's a lot of intrigue in this card for sure from a betting standpoint more so than just a game by game standpoint. I think although you use the term Adam Burke use the term yesterday as well. This is a good. What did you say shoot now I forgot. That's a lot of time. It's like a learning exercise something along those lines. That's finding mission. That's what it was. And it's also it's kind of. Happy it happened. Sad to see a go type of a day. Our NFL training camp tour comes to an end later on in the show. But we are ram tough talking about the Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams today. So fight stadium home of this year's Super Bowl. So as they get set for their week one game out there in Australia against the San Francisco 49ers. They have elected to do the tight turnaround travel where they're going to leave about 24 hours ahead of game time. According to all reports, Sean McVeigh has been a little bit coy on the exact details didn't want to share the guy. Tenor area when he was asked about it this past Sunday.

7:13Meanwhile for San Francisco, they gone. Today is the day. They are flying out making the trip a weekend advance reportedly. So I think it's going to be a little bit. I know we're freaking out a lot about how the Rams are going to do this. But I'm curious how the 49ers respond coming back from the trip. Because if you're going to be out there for that long and get your body clock so acclimated to being out there in that time zone. And I know there's 10 days in between games from when they play the Rams to when they play again on the next Sunday against the dolphins. But I wonder if that has any effects that we're not talking about enough. Well, that's actually part of the reason that just like I said, that's actually part of the reason that General manager John Lynch said that they elected to go this route. Take a listen to what he had to say yesterday on KNBR radio. We didn't really focus on what the Rams were doing. We focused on doing a study from every angle from talking to sports science people that from talking to sleep experts from talking to. You know, it's one thing to talk to a sleep doctor, but then to talk to.

8:14You know, people involved with like rugby who who does who do a ton of international travel. We talked to our team, you know, we wanted them and our leadership council being very included in the decision. And we kind of shared here's what our data showing. What do you guys feel? And overwhelmingly our players felt like wanting to get down there. I think the final straw we sent an advanced group. And they all said, you know, for three days you kind of feel out of whack. I remember long ago, you know, when I was playing, we won the Super Bowl. The following year we had five preseason games, the one of them being in Japan. And I really felt like we were off for like multiple weeks after it. So it's not just while you're down there, how can you say yourself best up for when you come back? And so that was his own personal experience, right? Talking about going to Japan when he was a player and that helped on their spots on coming back. And what was the best way to set them up? So they seemed to think that that's the way to do it. Meanwhile, the Rams, as we said, they last year for their last London game rather.

9:18They flew in the day before. They felt that was the most effective. They want to essentially some research has shown if you just go off of adrenaline and stay on your clock. Sure. That's the best way. 49ers obviously taking it in a different direction. And if you ask Keon White, he has a very specific plan of his hopes for the Australian travel as well. I don't know if you can ode your melatonin, but I'm going to try. Take like five melatonin, go to sleep, or go to the plane. As soon as I wake up, I'm taking five more. And keep rolling like that. That's one way to make the 15 hour trip more palatable. Yeah, I would hate it. I would hate my life on that plane. I mean, they travel way different than we do. Well, me, not you. You travel the same way. But I would not think that it would be fun to be trapped in a plane for the long. No, it does not. But I do think it's- You get to sleep in the beds. You take first class. I'm talking about us peons. I know for me, though, like when I've done some international travel and come back, you get that you get a day back. And I do think it's somewhat easier to reset when you're back home than it is when you get there.

10:18Yeah. I think there's no real way to quantify this for the most part. Sure. Everybody responds to this differently. And so if you want to look at this from a handicap, you stand point and say, I think X, then more power to you. I think that at the end of the day, when these guys get on the field, it's your point about adrenaline, whatever it is. It's a football game that they'll all be ready for. What do you think of that early spread right now? It has been bet up in favor of the Rams up from two and a half to over that key number of three three and a half right now. Who's playing for your team? Hopefully everybody. I'm actually- I also wonder if I want them to, though. That's another question that I have just from a fan standpoint with like, yes, there is excitement that George Kittle and Nick Bozer are on the trip. And ideally, that means that they're going to play. But if they're not, if you're risking them against a good defense right off the hop, and they're not as ready as they claim to be, then that's going to be a recipe for disaster. It's also a divisional game, though, right? Sure. It's an important game. It's an important game, yes. It's a very important game. So if you're going to risk it, I mean, this would be the game to do it. I would just hate to see, like George Kittle have a setback. No, sure, of course. But like, I think I had in line more with that thinking if this was like the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Cleveland Browns,

11:21a non-divisional non-conferred opponent. But this is divisional game in a division that you're hoping, of course, that you can win at the beginning of the season. If you can go, I'm assuming they're going to let them go. And hey, we have seen San Francisco overcome more to beat the Los Angeles Rams in recent history. Most notably, that Thursday night game last year that wrecked a lot of survivor hopes, including our Serbs Speaking of Survivor. We might take a first look at some of those early week games a little bit later on in the show as well. But when we come back, we're going to update you on the MLB scores for the games in action. Look ahead to some of the games we have upcoming and talk through Justin Emory's Strike Out Leader Go To Process. You're watching Money Moves. Here on Fiesin, these force-fitting network.

Again, it's LASSO-indrie law.com-702-625-8777. We got a busy day here on the program. Lots of Major League Baseball, JVT, including a couple games that are in action right now. If you more that are set to come, but I don't know if you have a pulled up right now, you want to give some score updates for the people? Sure, maybe you should have told me ahead of time, but luckily I do have it. I saw you last time. Top of the 6th inning, the San Diego Padres taken on the Cincinnati Reds and the Fathers down here at 4-3.

13:27Early scoring and favor of the San Diego Padres, high France with the two runs shot to get everything going. Tatees had gotten on. But after a three-nothing lead from a Tatees RBI single, it has been all reds from here. So they lead, but Padres doing their best as they have two on with no outs. So we'll see if they can do this. Watch it right now to see if somebody got on. So we will keep you abreast of all of the information and action going on in-game prices for this matchup as it stands right now. Since the 90 Reds, plus one of four Padres, minus 135 on the Moneyline expectation with a couple of runners on and no outs. That some damage will be done by San Diego. The other matchup, currently in a delay. So, I say top of the 4th inning, base is loaded at Atlanta and Washington right now. But as we mentioned top of the 4th with one out and bases loaded, we are not playing as that game is under the delay. A few more games to set to get underway while we're on the air here. A's Rangers, Orioles Rockies, Phillies, Diamondbacks will break at least one of those down in a moment as well as your favorite games on the card. But I did want to, as I mentioned off the top of the show, give a shout out.

14:27A well deserved one for our producer here on Money Moves, Justin Emory and the article he has that is up live right now at Veson.com breaking down how to bet MLB strike out leaders over daily K-Props. And there's a lot of really interesting stuff in there breaking down his process. The priorities and the things specifically that he looks for when he's diving into that market. But a couple things that I found particularly interesting going through myself was that a fun fact here. The favorite is not usually the winner. And so you can get a little bit more bang for your buck if you do look elsewhere on the board since Justin began this exercise JVT until the writing of this piece. The shortest priced picture on the board only one outright 13 of 87 times, which is kind of crazy to think about plus nine more that were in a dead heat. So that's a 22 to 25% win rate for the favorites. You can get more cash if you're looking elsewhere here. And he also makes sure to emphasize that when you're going on this board, you want to spread it around a little bit. You want to pick a couple guys to see if you can get that bang for your buck but not go overboard.

15:28So four is kind of the limit of players that he would pick into this market. You want to make sure that you've got the profitability on your side over the three months of him betting it and tweaking his approach while he was going through here. So he finished 61 and 26. So a 70.1% win rate up nearly 170 units. And credit for wrong Justin that's at one unit split over four plays correct. So when you're looking at it from that perspective, being pretty diligent with the way that you've been playing it. And honestly, you can talk a lot about the return and the record and whatnot. But I think the consistent way in which you which he's played this market is going to be I think the big reason why he's been so successful. You have to be consistent the way that you've played these things from the way that you're distributing your units. So good on Justin and you should go read the article. I don't think we want to give away too much but go to Be some calm and check it out right now. I have not read the entire thing yet, but you can write properly, which is a very good thing for you Justin. But he does do a really great job. I think of laying out the priority statistics that he weighed most heavily. The things that he looks for on a game by game day by day basis.

16:31And just for like his general rule of thumb, 10 was kind of the mark he strike out number he was looking for in his head. Like which of these guys could get me to 10 today and go from there. So very, very fun piece again. Go over to vson.com to check it out today. He did give us a little bit of intel for today's card of where he was looking for today's strike out leader. Quote, I bet cease every single day. He is listed as long as he's three to one or longer, six to one today. Targeting cam Schlittler and Dylan C. says the two even with Jacob Mizorowski on the hill today said fade. Miz mode is in effect. The remainder of the year do not let that six to one lure you in like a siren song. Oh, I get that's because you saw the Odyssey recently and I think that's exactly why. Yeah, right. Yeah, you saw the Odyssey is still in your brain. Matt Damon strapped to the post of the slowboat freaking out. And then that one guy that kind of takes up the last guy that took out his wax. And he jumped out and went after Jacob Mizorowski if I could speak properly.

17:32Looking ahead to today for me though, one of the next games that is still upcoming is. Let's go. The A's and Rangers and. So just looking at this pitching matchup and looking at how big of a favorite Texas was here. I went with an F five on the plus money here for the A's. I do not trust them to ultimately win as a dog in this game when the Rangers are. And then the A's. Obviously trying to do what they can to win the division get or get into that final wild card spot. Whatever it is, they're right on the cusp of it right now. The A's bullpen is rough. We know that the lineup right now is rough. They haven't been able to hit all these things. But if Jacob Lopez can get a little bit of run support, the numbers for him over the last nine starts have actually been. Pretty awesome at this point. And I like him over Cody Bradford to get this thing going. Most recently in the month of August over around just shy of six endings per game or five starts 248 ERA given up no more than three hits and two runs in that time compared to Cody Bradford who.

18:33Yes, the consistency over the large sample of his season has been better. Last start against Milwaukee to was fine, but he has been hit around a little bit here. He does give up the hits. And if you can turn that into a couple things, I think that could bode well for an A's team. So you're getting plus 135 on for the first five. Yeah, I'll give you some backing here because I think you eliminate the first of the nine starts because you only pitch one and two thirds your boy. But if you take that out, we're talking about a 220 70 array 2881 expected. So the hard contact numbers really aren't anything that you're too worried about. Feeling independent to 323. So kind of right in line with where you're at from that perspective, not getting too lucky when it comes to some of the home runs or the of the pension for not giving up those home runs. And the other thing that you like is we talk about this all the time with these guys walk rates a little high, but he bounces it out with a really high strikeout rate. And so you're going to be able to I think even that out there's no real indicators that over his last 43 and 2 thirds that there are some cracks to the armor that eventually he will regress to the mean. Obviously it could happen in a single start, but he has been wildly consistent over these last eight starts that you're referencing here. So think it makes some sense once a run support.

19:33And it's always the question we talk about this with will I brought it up before. You might be right here in thinking low pass can go out there and get it done. Are you doing the right thing and asking the A's to be ahead after the first five or should you look at it in different ways? Are you thinking about that? You know, earned runs over under. Sure. Whatever total outs things like that. When a lot of it is focused on the picture, I try to find different ways because there's so many times where you're right about the handicap, but you're burned by the result because baseball is you know, the finicky and weird sport. I don't bet a ton of baseball as you know, I was definitely lured in by the price on this one and shop around because on draftings, I saw this plus 120, but here at Circa's plus 135 and elsewhere as well. So dear due diligence from that standpoint, but I was also looking at some of the Cody Bradford starts and for whatever reason when he's been on the hill, he's had a lack of run support for him as well. So just wishful thinking and what I felt was a more than fair price on the dog here. You have several other games that you are intrigued by today. Where do you want to go? I'm going to pitch and change in Pittsburgh. So let's talk about that really quickly. Above a channeler is going to get the start for the Pittsburgh pirates here today last time out for above a channeler gave a born and run over the course of five and two thirds.

20:37It was on the road against your Padres. Chandlers numbers for the most part have been pretty consistent and for the season for 2060 R.A. 412 expected. You look at the recent sample size for him dating back to the beginning of July. And you're looking at some pretty consistent performances for the most part has given up more than three or runs and just one of the outings over the stretch that we're talking about. So you can see that the 305 ERA 367 expected fit of 280 so getting someone to lucky with some of the balls that are going out of the park. Block 56 initially seems somewhat expensive, but Chandler, if you're buying into the recent sample size of success has been pitching pretty well. I think Roops, the more fascinating guy. You look at his expected numbers for the season storming a 425 ERA, but a 383 expected 374. You can make the argument that there's a pinch for some unlecting is here for him. Badding average of all the plays are too bad, but we've seen some better performances from Roop as of late. Had a couple of average starts five and two thirds and forward runs against the Rockies and then Aunt Cleveland, he gave up three over the course of five and a third. He's prone for some of these crooked numbers, but painted in there are a couple of pretty good starts coming off of five innings of just one earn run allowed of a four hits against the Arizona time of backs.

21:42Few starts back. He gave up just one over the course of five and a third. So maybe making the argument for this team first five under potentially between these two, but Chandler and Roop, but think it's a sneaky good pitching matchup that'll be interested in and right now again pricing change wasn't too dramatic with the announcement of the change. Buckfifty at the open on the overnight $1.46 now with Pittsburgh last 60 seconds. I know you've been paying a lot attention to the AL Central. Is that why white socks Astros was on your mind? I mean, I think this is just a pretty interesting one between division leaders, right? And you talked about the Rangers. I need these Rangers to pull this out and I need the Astros at some point to melt down and go away. That would be nice. Hayton was new ski was Neskey is going to get the start, but Davis Martin. I think is the guy that's worth talking about here. We have not seen Davis Martin since October. She October. It's almost October August 13th. And that was not great and he has not really been pitching particularly well as we have seen him last, but you do wonder what the return is for him and what that's going to be like. Not the other side when Eski 386 ERA 3037 5 over six starts really minute sample size in the majors that we've seen over the last couple of years, but I'm curious to see what Martin's got after a brief hiatus.

22:47Fantasy season is upon us with the NFL officially getting underway next week. Kendall Valensuela of fantasy life is going to answer some of our most pressing questions, including the news about Josh Jacobs. Is he somebody you want to draft late and stash? What do we do with some of these new quarterbacks? We're breaking it all down next on Money Moves. Time for the finish. That's the name of this week's Circa survivor documentary finale airing later tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern right here on V. This is what all of it was for week 17 through 20 deliver the final countdown as the season reaches its climax picks leaked online last minute hedge decisions with millions of dollars on the line. And the final few survivors grinding through the most pressure filled weeks of their lives. This is the finish line watched tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern right here on V.

23:50And remember, if you want to play catch up, we all love binge watching these days. All episodes are available on YouTube. I need to do is search visa and live and just like you're signing up, maybe this time of year for your survivor contest or a T S contest and pools. Same thought process going through when you are entering a fantasy contest or fantasy pool. And we've got a lot of that to get into here as we welcome Kendall Valensuela to the program on the progressive guest line fantasy life senior analyst. Also host on serious XM fantasy channel 87 weekdays 8 to 10 Pacific 11 to 1 Eastern. She's going to be with us moving forward each week talking through waiver wire opportunities and streamers all that good stuff. Kendall, how are you? I'm good guys. The season is a week away. So draft season is in full swing. We're getting close to the finish line here. So it's important to know all the movers, all the risers, all the followers. We've got a lot of injury news that came down over the last couple weeks. I'm good. I'm ready to go. I'm going to open up with your big topic of the day, which what? I mean, Josh Jacobs, which I think is a foolish topic. Okay, that's rude.

24:55No, I think just a genuine curiosity, though, with all of the unknowns around Josh Jacobs and his court date not being set until November for what this is going to look like. But is he somebody if he's available and later rounds you want to stash and just see if you could have him available later on in the season or is it a stay away all together? Yeah, for me, it's a stay away all together. I think it's going to be different when you look across different rankings. I've got him completely unranked in my rankings at fantasy life.com. They're 100% free. The you guys can all go and check out. I just I don't want any part of it. And it's it's a weird situation because the commissioner's exemplest, the only person that can take him off that is Commissioner Roger Gidell. Like you said, Stormy, the court date, which is just a just a preliminary hearing, I believe is coincides with week 11 during the NFL season. But this is something that, you know, we've been waiting to see if a video is going to drop and it's just a situation that's too messy for me. He could he could play week one, potentially like there's a chance or he misses the whole season and there's some parts in between there. So to me, it's just too risky.

25:55I had taken him in a couple prior drafts, but it was when he fell into rounds five or six. If you have my rankings, you're just not going to get him because again, he's unranked for me. So I think March on Lloyd's the next guy up in that offense, Chris Brooks, they went and signed Caleb Johnson. But if you were getting anyone in that backfield, it would be March on Lloyd to start things off here. You have to be pretty aggressive with the prices. I moved him closer to the Gidarian price from Andre Stevenson range and there's still outcomes where he is not, you know, someone that we thought he was. He kind of is in the same category as Jonathan Brooks for me where he's always been injured. And so we can kind of wish cast and hope that things are going to go well and that he stays healthy. But he hasn't been able to show us that yet. Again, though, you're getting an RB one in an offense that I really like with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers here. But yeah, the biggest mover of all off season for me has been March on Lloyd. Yeah, a high rate of running on first downs to right like LaFour loves to do that. So whatever right back to get it seems like he would be a lot of touches. But this is this seems to be kind of the theme like, do you really trust anybody from a skill position standpoint of this Green Bay offense? Who's the highest ranked guy like crafts coming off of the ACL Watson's got the injury history?

27:02Who amongst these skill position guys are the highest ranked fantasy players for Green Bay? For me, it is Christian Watson. And again, he might not be everyone's cup of tea because he gets injured and people are going to sit around and say to themselves, well, he gets injured. You know, how is he going to actually be able to do this? I first of all, and someone that does like to follow the money and the money that he was given kind of signifies that he's going to have a big role. He went and saw a lot of specialists. And in the six healthy games where we've seen him have an 80% plus route participation rate. It is a guy that's been given us 15 point to fantasy points per game on average. And so he was able to lead the Packers and I think with both those guys Romeo dobs done, Tavy and Wix gone. It's important to remember that this is a more condensed offense. And I know that there's no winner coming out of anything that's going on with the Packers running back situation. But I do think for me, I actually am one of the highest rankers at fantasy life. I am the highest ranker on Jordan Love. I don't think you should go out and get him as a QB one. There's a lot better options that you can go and get. But if you need a second quarterback in your league, all signs to me are pointing that Jordan love is going to, you know, kind of be unleashed this season because they need him and his, you know, his past and his last season were way down.

28:10But I could see shades of 2023 version of Jordan love where it's not a QB five finish or anything like that. But they're going to have to utilize him. And I think that he is obviously an accurate passer in the NFL. He's got a great arm and some people forget that. So it's understandable because he hasn't given us great fantasy finishes over the last couple of years. But I could see Jordan love being one of those guys that sneakily finishes inside the top 13 or 14. I could even say 12 year quarterbacks. So I would be targeting Christian Watson. I like Matthew Golden late and to be honest, I like I like everyone in this offense to be honest. I like Jason read as well if I can't get Christian Watson. But he's the guy that you want to target. Kendall Valenzuela, fantasy life joining us here on the progressive guest line talking all things fantasy football with all these drafts ahead of us getting set for week one of the NFL season. To a tongue of I low it seems might be paying more attention to commenting on his own Instagram than he is getting ready for the season. But with what we have seen from him. What's the right way to handle some of these other skill position players? Obviously everybody's going to get to John Robinson doesn't impact that. But Drake London Kyle pits. What's the approach for those types of guys in the offense?

29:14Yeah, it's um, you know, you just got to switch the burner accounts first of all. Hey, hey, when that happens to me, but no, I think it's, you know, to a tongue my low is super interesting this offense. I still like and it was funny. I was just thinking about still with him in Miami. And I'm like, nope, that's wrong. We've gotten like, well, it's over there now. So there's actually a chance Michael Panning Jr has gotten some really good news over the last couple days. So I'm curious if he actually is able ready to start the season. To me, when you're looking at this offense, though, with with two with Michael Panics, I think people are pretty scared of it. But I will say like Drake London, no matter what to me in the second round is a great pick over there for the Atlanta Falcons. He is someone that I have seen fall in some drafts. And I think it is because of the quarterback situation. But Drake London has been peppered with targets before. And I think he's going to do it again, whether it's with two or whether it's with Michael Panning Jr. And so he is one of my favorite guys to go and draft B. Jean Robinson as well, although we hear, you know, they tell us things. I don't know why they do this. But, you know, we've gotten reports out of the athletic that, you know, Brian Robinson is going to be someone that gets goal line carriers, which would absolutely stink in that situation.

30:21But yeah, Drake London to me is the guy that I want to get almost every time that I can and fantasy drafts, you have to be in the right, you have to be in the right range to get him in that second round. But he is my favorite guy, no matter the quarterback situation. Kendall, you're a very smart person. Some surprise that you would have joined us with that hat on considering the Seattle Mariners or an absolute embarrassment. But you have, you know, Seattle ties. Let's talk about your sea hawks. I know that Jadarian price is one of the players that you had some difficulty with. New play collar has seen preseason action. You might get a split committee. Like what are we doing with price? Yeah, price is someone that I, I've been asked this a lot and it's one of the things where I do have to wear my mirror and his hat. They had at least had a good game yesterday. And I just have to kind of hope and pray that something goes well. But it never does. At least I have the sea hawks. I think there's two ways that I look at this. Jadarian price is still ranked very high for me in my ranking. See is my RB 25 and I do think if you need an RB two in fantasy football. He's a good guy to make a bet on because this team like the sea hawks try to tell us that Zach Sharman a could potentially be ready week one. There was no chance that that was going to happen in my mind. And then they put him on pub.

31:27So he's going to miss minimum four games. Remember that was an injury that was late in the year in the playoffs. He didn't have that surgery until February to let the swelling go down. Jadarian price is going to get work. They've been telling us a lot about George Lonnie and I know that team likes him. The one worry that I have is that Jadarian price was banged up and he was held out of training camp a lot of the time. He had all that he had soreness and so it wasn't necessarily an injury, but they were trying to keep him healthy, which I think points to great signs that they are going to utilize him. The other part of me though, I don't like when rookies miss any kind of training camp. I feel the same way about McCoy lemon and some of these other guys because it is so important to learn the offense and the install and everything else where he was able to do that the last couple of weeks. He was back to practice, which was fantastic. I just think some guys that miss portions of training camp are going to have a slower time coming on already as it is as a rookie and now you've missed time. That being said, I still draft a Darian prices and RB two. I just come back around with maybe some veteran guys that aren't the sexiest names, but you know the Jordan Mason's of the world. Aaron Jones is someone that I like to draft Ramondra Stevenson. You'd have to pay up for him, but some of these guys that could maybe help you at the beginning of the year if Darian price does start slow.

32:34And making sure I just have some backups just in case you never want to have to try and do that with your RB two in fantasy, but I'm just trying to like hedge my bets there. And if he does start off a little bit slow, which I'm kind of anticipating at least you have someone else that can help you get through some of those tough weeks of the beginning. Kendall, we're running out of time, but last 30 seconds, any leagues that people can join in on that you're a part of like what should people know ahead of we want. Yeah, make sure to just listen to us on serious XM go give me a follow at K Valenzuela 17 over over on Twitter and join some key at team leagues like that's where I'm in. I'm joining key at team leagues all the time at guillotine leagues.com. If you guys haven't played in any of them, it is a super fun new way to play fantasy. And so make sure you throw everything out that I just told you about redraft traditional fantasy football leagues because it is not the same, but it is so fun. That's actually great topic. Well, we'll dive into guillotine leagues next week, Kendall if we can. But again, like she said, Kendall, Vance, wait a little, make sure you tune into our eight to 10 Pacific every week day, serious XM fantasy channel 87 and she's going to be joining us each and every week moving forward here on money moves. Okay, you hear that music. We got a step aside here real quickly.

33:40So much more to come, including more bets for week one. I keep on mixing up the weeks week one of college football is this weekend. We're going to have Chris Msterro join the program coming up after this. Give some of his favorite plays, including a team. I am very high on apparently he is too very excited stick around. You're watching money moves. Here on Fiesin. These force very network. I'm here Wednesday edition of money moves. Stormy Bonnet Tony Jonathan Von Cobal with you earlier this week on Call Me Crazy, but JVT you had a take an opinion that you hate carrying cash. You think it's stupid. I told you I think it's good to have cash, especially in this town. You also got a little bit of dissension online, including from our guests who joins us now on the progressive guest.

34:48This is the only reason we brought him on professional better Chris Msterro kind enough to hang out with as a Chris as you put it cash is king. And you made an interesting point about carrying players card to so give the people what they want. How should it be done? Well, I mean, if you're going to be a thanks for having me guys a lot coming on, usually on a Monday, but today is Wednesday, which works out just as well for me. But if you're going to be in Vegas a lot and you're going to be at any casino, you got to play with the players card because that's how you get your bonuses, your free rooms, your free drinks, your free anything. So you can't put them all on your wallets. That's for sure. And that was basically what I think JVT was saying that he had so many players cards in his wallets. There's a wallet turned into a stands a wallet, but you simply just put all your players cards in a rubber band. So you have them right there and then you put them in the backpack or you know, in your case storm your purse so that you can split through them. You know, you got your Westgate, your circa, your win, your Venetian, you got them all. You got them all right here.

35:52You just put them in the a key little pot, you know, little spot in your backpack. No where they are. And you're on your way. Almost like on the old days we used to get like somebody's business card. You'd have the same thing big rubber band. You know, I'm aging myself a little bit. People getting business cards still. But I'm, yeah, I tell you do it. And then you can mosey around town. You don't have to have them all on your wallet. But if you pull into say, Southpoint, you can go in your backpack, pull out that card and put it once in a while. And then just, you know, retrieve a map. You leave and put them back in your backpack. My problem is a couple of things. I also have the random players cards from like the bars around town, you know, like a parkway tavern or PT. So I have so many players cards because if you like the video poker might be the chosen by so do enjoy very much. So I will take the advice. I would also say that is sexist. I have a purse as well. So I don't appreciate you assuming that I do not carry my stuff around like that. Yeah, exactly. Thank you very much. All right. Let's get to the real nuts and bolts of this though outside of important things like that. I was tempted to say goodbye, Chris, because that's how we need you for. But we do have football to discuss.

36:53Good back. Storm. Stormy here. As you could see, looks very Mormon. And so she is all in on this BYU team. As are you, I believe. Yeah, listen, I was going to wear my BYU. I just picked up a new BYU hat because I'm very big on this on them this year, but I'm waiting to unveil that for a appearance with Tim Murray. At some point before the Notre Dame game, you know, just a rough list feathers a little bit. Listen, I like this BYU team a lot. Beer block my throat is in the fire last year. He's, you know, a little bit more experienced this year. Tough runner. Good passer. They got an L. J. Martin in the backfield, one of the best backs in the country. They lost a lot of receivers, but the offense and defensive lines are the best Collinacie talkies had in his tenure there. I really like this BYU team to go over eight and a half. You get to lay 150 now. I laid a cheaper number earlier, but I still like it. I actually added more due to the fact that one of the tougher games is at TCU on the roads. I say tougher in air quotes because as we saw TCU didn't look the pot on Saturday.

37:55So I think that becomes a little bit easier of a win. You can kind of see you still you can still bet these win totals. And you kind of can see a little bit into their schedule. So even if they did lose to Notre Dame, even if they did lose at Utah, they would have to lose two more games. And I just don't see it on a schedule that faces a lot of cupcakes early. You got Utah tech this week Arizona at home at Colorado State at TCU. I was state a team that lost everyone. They get ASU at home, a bail a team case, you know, bailer at home, Cincinnati at home. They got to go to Kansas later in the year, but I don't see them losing four games. I like over eight and a half minus one, 50 at draft Kings. And I like this team. I'm not only make the playoff, but you know to get to the playoff, I can have to make a team front. I like them to make just to make the conference championship game against, you know, obviously Texas Tech at plus 200. I think the path is there. I think Utah lost a lot on the offense and defensive lines. I think this BYU team is right right for a big season. I like them to make the playoff plus 300 to make the championship game plus 200. I like them over eight and a half in the win total.

39:01I like to see you Chris and nice to avoid some of those top dogs in the conference, right? Like no Texas Tech in the regular season, no Houston who I think could be pretty good. A lot of things lay out nicely for them there. And I will say about BYU. If you haven't had a Cougar tale, you have not lived. Get out to Provo and try the gigantic maple donut thing that is unbelievable. I'm going to say it's important not made out of Cougar meat. Yeah, not an actual. I thought this was a family program. Here you go and you were going to have a family. Yeah. Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get carried away here. But let's let's push ahead because there's another college. A win total that you're invested in Boston college. It was ugly last year. Two win season. Thanks fell apart early and it did not get better. How do you expect them to perform come 20 26. to get much better this year. I think Bill O'Brien's this there for the paycheck. Nothing to get to him. His wife went to the school. They have a special needs child. It's just a little bit of a comfort spot for him at this point in his career. Mason McKenzie is the D2 quarterback coming in from Saginaw Valley State.

40:02Not exactly Darian Mensa going to Miami. This was the only D1 offer this kid got to go to BC. I just don't think it's going to be. He wasn't even good at, you know, Division II Saginaw State. He was okay. Lot of turnovers, lot of interceptions. The schedule is absolutely brutal. I expect an O and six road record. They get to go Cincinnati this week. I know they open it as 9.5 point dogs. It's down to 7.5. You know, maybe they can cover. I don't see them winning at Cincinnati. They get to go at SMU, at Georgia Tech, at Duke, at Notre Dame, at Miami. The home games of Virginia Tech, at FSU Syracuse in conference. They play Rutgers next week, but Rutgers has extra time as they're playing on Thursday. So I think that's a big advantage of Rutgers. The one game they might get is main in two weeks. I just don't see this team win in three and a half games. My favorite alternate win total is Boston College. Under four and a half minus two 50. I understand you might not want to weigh that.

41:04What I like to do is you can combine them with some other teams. And I just don't see this PC team doing much. They didn't get anything in the portal. They lost the best receiver, Lewis Bond to the NFL. They lost the best running back, Turbo Richard to Indiana. I just don't see them winning three and a half games. I don't see them winning four and a half games or five games. So I'm under everything on Boston College. All right, so we hope it was something that you share in thought with Stormy. We share a similar thought here too with the Buffalo Bills. I'm not really buying it in terms of the markets belief in this team. So how are you going to handle Buffalo this year? We head to the NFL. Well, as I was mentioning, my favorite win total parlay of the year. And I've mentioned this on a couple of shows so far. As I like taking Boston College under four and a half, minus two 50, impairing it with under Buffalo Bills, under 11 and a half minus 190. It gets you a plus price of 113. I just don't see this Buffalo Bills team winning 12 games. What a dreadful schedule. They open at Houston, a team that's crypt, their crypt tonight. They get Detroit on Thursday night, the new stadium,

42:04the Chauders, New England, Ather Rams, the start of the season. A lot of good quarterbacks. It's a very shaky secondary. I guess they got DJ Moore. That's their big improve. But I don't think they improve the team that much. I'm not going with all this. Joe Brady is the answer. They change coordinators. They change head coaches. I just think it's a brutal schedule. The end of the season, they have a little blip where it's a little bit easy. They get the Raiders, a biweek ball from what atmosphere of Jets Miami. But then after that game, they get Kansas City Thursday night, at New England at Green Bay, Chicago, Denver, Miami on the road. Miami on the road should be a win. But if they're fourth road game in five weeks with three or four different prime time games mixed in between, it's just a brutal schedule. Can Ed Oliver stay healthy, can Troll Bernard stay healthy? I don't know. I just don't think there's Buffalo defense going up against an elite quarterbacks is going to be able to get anywhere close to 11 or 12 wins. So I'm under Buffalo in the win-tale.

43:04Last one, if you can do it in 30 seconds, that everybody's been very, very high on the Rams. They're a short shot for the Super Bowl. You're going the other way though on their win-total. Another ridiculous schedule. Listen, they're going out to Australia, San Francisco. Then they play three strong defenses in a row, giants at Denver, at Philly. I think the Rams could open the season one or four. It sounds crazy. The brutal stretch at the end of the season out to the buy is just insane. Seven games against all high quality elite teams under the win-total 11 and a half on the Rams for me. That's a good tease, because we are doing a full deep dive on the Rams coming up in the next segment, Chris. Thank you so much for your insight and good luck as you begin your defense for the Circuit Friday football invitational coming up here soon.
