Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are, college football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and Alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano-hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of, so it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.

Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

I do like the Sixers, plus the points on the opening night, and that'll be all the NBA I'll discuss with you right now. So let's get into Sunday Night Football. Last segment, we gave a short preview as we started to take a look at some analytical numbers between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. And the first leg of, if we're gonna build a little same game parlay here, is I think the Green Bay Packers need to establish the run here in this game, here tonight. Because their best weapon is the play action pass. And I've gone over this, this is according to NFL's next gen stats. Jordan loves second most passing yards in the NFL in play action. Let's see, he's got the second most yards per attempt. He's got the third highest completion percentage in play action passes. That is the weapon for the Green Bay Packers on offense. But without any running game, there is no threat for a play action. So if you want the play fake to be effective, you need to establish the run. Now, I don't know if it's going to be effective, which I think it could be, because the Dallas Cowboys defense is awful when it comes to stopping the run. But I think you just have to stick to it and give some sort of threat to the Dallas Cowboys. So that means running the ball early and often. So that's why my first bet for this game is going to be over 11.5 rushing attempts for Packers running back Marshawn Lloyd. It's also the final game he's probably going to play. Josh Jacobs likely to return in week seven. He's been removed from the commissioners exempt list. So give the guy, toss him a bone, let him run the ball a little bit here in the final game of him being a starter. And maybe you'll get a great effort from him as he tries to keep his job over Josh Jacobs, which is not going to happen, but you get the idea. Either way, I don't know how effective he's going to be running the ball. I don't know how much I want to play his rushing yardage over, which is right now sitting at 42 and a half. Give me 12 carries for 40 yards. Like that's, I don't, 12 carries for 36 yards, whatever it is. I just think he gets the carries because Green Bay is going to want to establish the run and give the the Cowboys something to think about when they go to the play action fake. Also, some stats this season. The Cowboys' run defense has been putrid. They have allowed the third most yards before contact here in the NFL. The third most yards before contact. Now, we could talk about yards after contact, which they have allowed. Let's see, they have allowed the, they've allowed the one, two, three, four, fifth most yards after contact in the NFL as well. But the third most yards before contact. Now, why is yards before contact important to me? Because that truly measures how well your offensive line is blocking versus how well the defensive line is shedding those blocks and stuffing the run. Because the yards before contact measures how long that running back runs before someone on the defense puts a hand on them. And the Cowboys have allowed running backs to go for the third most yards before contact in the NFL, only behind the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants. So yes, we can go over yards on Lloyd too. It's kind of a correlated play.
