Joe Sheehan (0:00)

The numbers told the story, they always do.

Gill Alexander (0:02)

Swando's idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gill Alexander on VSiN. Good Tuesday morning to you. This is a numbers game at VSiN, the sports betting network, vsin.com game, plus iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, SiriusXM channel, 189, Gill Alexander, Kelley Bydlon. In the hizzy.

I love Tuesdays, man, during the NFL season, because we got Survivor Talk coming up, which I'm looking forward to as I do every Tuesday. It seems to be a hit on the old Twitter. Going through all the options, not all the options, obviously there's an option in every game, or a couple options in every game, depending on what you have available. But just the biggest favorites on the board.

Would we play them? Would we not? You will have some disagreement on the subjectivity of, oh, here's what they have left in future value. Whether that is something to consider or not, we'll go through it all in our Survivor segment. Our power rankings, Kelley. Power rankings, update, not much of a movement for mine.

Kelley Bydlon (1:02)

Slight little, one or two big movers, and then some slight just jostling from there.

Gill Alexander (1:08)

Jostling. It's called a jostling week.

Kelley Bydlon (1:10)

Correct word? Yeah, I like it.

Gill Alexander (1:13)

Drew Dinsick will join us, NFL and more with Drew, of course, Mark Borchard, Joe Sheehan, Major League Baseball, Jeff Erickson a little later on, talk baseball and football with us as we get game two of the NLCS yesterday, where the boy, oh boy, the Brewers take a two to nothing lead over the Dodgers in the best of seven and the Guardians say. Yeah, I saw your little sweep ticket that you had there, Gil. Watch this. Guardians one raise nothing. Got to talk to Joe about this Guardians team.

I just I read about six Joe Sheehan newsletters back to back to back to back to back back.

Kelley Bydlon (1:50)

He had a lot. He had a lot in the past couple of days.

Gill Alexander (1:53)

It's all it's just I mean, was that a must win for the for the raise last night? Are these two collectively a must wins for the raise? Because of the whole advantage? Well, much of the advantage they had in terms of exploiting the Guardians lack of rest and their rest. You don't want to mitigate that now. Guardians and we're we're we're trying for this. We're not dead in the water yet. We'll talk to those guys, all of the above on baseball coming up. We'll recap the games yesterday. But first, we got to start with the football game yesterday. The Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams.

I don't know if we can call it classic because I don't know if it was that, but it sure was entertaining. Bills take it in overtime in a game where, again, the Megapod segment of Dumbos of the Week.

We install two more candidates. What are we doing here? Buddhist man had a great tweet this morning or overnight where he's like, we're going to we're going to have an NFL week where every single coach is a candidate for Dumbo of the Week. And Will said on the group chat yesterday, he's like, we're going to have a separate podcast for Dumbo of the Week.

Kelley Bydlon (3:02)

They're all freaking out, man. They're freaking out when they see these other games and how they end and they're they're just getting their own heads.

Gill Alexander (3:09)

Thirty seven, thirty four bills started with the opening kickoff, Kelly Rae Davis, seventy yards set up at the Rams, twenty six. But the bills had to settle after a three and a bass forty nine yard field goal, three to nothing bills. Then Mevis couple drive or next drive, we go wide left on a fifty yard field goal try for the Rams. Buffalo will get another bass short field goal, six to nothing end of the first quarter. Then the Rams put together a drive, fourteen plays, seventy one yards, took seven ten off the clock, Stafford to Devante from four out a play after Stafford to Davis Allen for three on third and one. We made a great fingertip catch on a low ball. Seven six Rams, eight minutes left in the half. Buffalo responded five plays, sixty nine yards, Cook in from seventeen right after Allen to Ty Johnson for forty mostly Yak, thirteen seven bills. Next time the bills had the ball from their own twelve with one fifty two left all three timeouts, third and six of their own sixteen with thirty seven seconds left. Allen picked a deep by Jalen Watson.
