The Old Guys Podcast | NFL DFS Wild Card Weekend

·1 hr 3 min·4 clips

Baker Mayfield at 5,800 and Mike Evans at 6,200 make Tampa Bay easy to stack.

1. Daily Fantasy Sports | Advice, Picks, Strategy, Bets centers on The Old Guys Podcast and NFL DFS Wild Card Weekend on DraftKings. 2. Holden, JT, and Uncle T host the discussion, and each one matters because they split the slate breakdown, quarterback debate, and lineup-building angle. 3. The episode asks how to attack a six-game Wild Card slate with Saturday, Sunday, and Monday games spread across DraftKings. 4. The hosts open by criticizing FanDuel for not handling the six-game main slate the same way as DraftKings. 5. They note that the weekend includes a single Monday game and talk about leaving the flex spot open until later games. 6. The conversation shifts to the lack of backup quarterbacks, with Joe Flacco treated as the main exception and Mason Rudolph discussed as playable. 7. The hosts also emphasize that playoff football feels different because the field is full of real teams and real quarterbacks instead of week-to-week fill-ins. 8. Weather becomes a major topic when they mention Kansas City and Buffalo conditions severe enough to cause frostbite on uncovered skin within about 20 minutes. 9. They connect that weather to the idea that players may test the elements without sleeves, while fans in the stands face the worst of it. 10. The episode then pivots to Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, and Mike Vrabel as part of a broader coaching-carousel discussion. 11. The hosts call Saban the greatest college coach ever and suggest Belichick is the greatest NFL coach, while also debating whether either man will coach again. 12. They discuss the Falcons as a possible Belichick landing spot because of young skill players like Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Tyler Allgeier. 13. The Chargers, Jets, Bears, and Jaguars come up as other possible Belichick destinations, with Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence mentioned as quarterback factors. 14. JT argues that Belichick wants another Super Bowl and also wants to do it without Tom Brady, which he frames as an ego-driven motivation. 15. The DFS portion turns to quarterbacks, where Baker Mayfield at 5,800 is highlighted as a salary-saving stack with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. 16. Josh Allen at 8K is treated as playable despite the 35.5 total and a possible blowout script, and Dak Prescott at 7,600 is preferred as the top quarterback option. 17. The hosts also discuss Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford in the Detroit-Los Angeles matchup and suggest that game has the best chance to shoot out. 18. The tone is conversational, argumentative, and loose, with frequent sidebars before the slate breakdown gets serious. 19. Listeners who play NFL DFS and want slate-specific lineup ideas should like this episode. 20. Listeners who want tightly edited analysis without long banter probably should skip it.
