The Woot and Wye Show: Divisional Round Recap and Conference Championships

By fantasystars on January 21, 2017

The Woot and Wye Show: Divisional Round Recap & Conference Championships


With Woot vacationing in Huskisson on the New South Wales South Coast, both episodes of The Woot and Wye Show this week were co-hosted by RJ Ochoa of Inside the Star and Ocho Live. As a Dallas Cowboys expert, RJ Ochoa provided unique perspective on the Dallas Cowboys loss and what the future holds for them in our divisional round recap podcast.

We also discuss on the show Aaron Rodgers’ legacy, that third and twenty play, Brock Osweiler’s historically terrible play, Seattle sulking, Eric Fisher’s holding penalty, why James Harrison is an alien, how a Kevin Peirre-Louis holding penalty changed a playoff game and why Travis Kelce is a dick.

In the second show of the week we preview the two Conference Championship Games, both of which look to be blockbusters. Also on the podcast we discuss Adrian Peterson’s future, Kyle Shanahan reportedly accepting the 49ers Head Coaching job and the Colts’ failure in trying to land Jon Gruden.

The NFC Championship Game features the likely 2016/17 NFL MVP in Matt Ryan taking on arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Aaron Rodgers. This game opened up with a game total of 60.5 points by Vegas, making it the highest game total in NFL playoff history. Vegas, as always, nails it because we expect a shoot out. This is the first game since 1970 that features 2 teams who have scored 30 or more points in their last five games. The last time they met the Falcons were victorious 33-32.

Both Ochoa & Wye believe that the quarterbacks will have big games and this game could ultimately be decided by a minor playing making a play on special teams or forcing a freak turnover. The key match up in this game no one is talking about is Vic Beasley against Bryan Bulaga. The Falcons need to get pressure on Aaron Rodgers. Both us are taking the Falcons outright because we trust their overall offense more with that running game but we think it will be close and are leaning Green Bay against the spread.

The AFC Championship Game will see the New England Patriots finally play a real opponent in the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots have had a dream run facing a clown car of crap quarterbacks for most of the season. The best quarterback they have beaten is Andy Dalton. The last time they faced an elite quarterback: a loss at home to Russell Wilson. The Steelers have also had a relatively easy schedule but are coming off an impressive win in Arrowhead, well as impressive as a six field goal performance can be.

The Steelers offensive line allowed only 3 total pressures on Ben Roethlisberger against the Chiefs dominant defensive line.

Ninety is the magic number in this game. The Steelers are undefeated this year when LeVeon Bell rushes for 90 or more rushing yards but the New England Patriots haven’t allowed a 90 yard rusher in 24 straight games. The Steelers offensive line has been dominant down the stretch and only allowed 3 pressures last week against one of the best defensive lines in the league. They have the edge up front against this Patriots front seven. If Bill Belichick does what Bill Belichick does and shuts down an opposing teams best weapon then the Steelers will need a big game from Antonio Brown against Malcolm Butler. Brown has 15 catches for 230 yards a TD in two games while be shadowed by Butler.

LISTEN TO THE WOOT AND WYE SHOW

Even though the Steelers defense has been playing much better down the stretch, allowing 17.3 points per game in their seven-game winning streak to end the regular season and 14 points per game in the playoffs, you trust that Tom Brady and this offense will put up plenty of points like they have done all year. Ochoa thinks the Steelers will win this game outright while Wye prefers the Steelers against the spread with New England winning by a field goal. 

We finish the show making our William Hill Lock of the Week. What is yours this week?

The Woot and Wye Show: Wildcard Weekend Recap

By fantasystars on January 13, 2017

The Woot and Wye Show – Wild Card Weekend Recap


After a holiday hiatus, we are back to review one of the most lopsided and underwhelming wildcard weekends of the past few decades. This weekend’s games had a total margin of victory of 76 points. That 19 point differential average is the highest of any Wild Card Weekend since 1981 and makes this opening round the most lopsided since expanding to four teams in 1990, per NFL Research.

LISTEN TO EP 173 OF THE WOOT AND WYE SHOW HERE.

Despite all four favourites winning comprehensively (which sets up an incredibly juicy divisional slate of games), there was still plenty of talking points from the action. Most of that circled around the Green Bay & New York Giants game, although Thomas Rawls loveable personality tried his best to overshadow that.

We marvel at Aaron Rodgers absolutely destroyed it for the fourth consecutive week and then we debate the skill to luck ratio in him pulling off Hail Mary throws like the one below. Rodgers over the past two seasons is 5 for 7 on passes of 40 yards or more in the last two minutes of a half. The rest of the league in that same scenario is 2 for 39.

Also on the podcast, we discuss Le’Veon Bell calling himself the Steph Curry of the NFL, the whole #BoatGate saga involving Odell Beckham Jr (mostly how ridiculous the whole thing is), Matt Moore’s toughness, Jack Del Rio’s decision to not turn to Matt McGloin and the Lions fail to reach the redzone once against the Seahawks.

The Woot and Wye Show’s Week 11 NFL Recap

By fantasystars on November 23, 2016

The Woot and Wye Show Episode 160: Cousins, Missed Kicks & that 7-9 BS


The 160th Episode of The Woot and Wye Show is a comprehensive wrap up and discussion of the major issues that Week 11 of the NFL season spat out for us. This includes everything from those 12 record breaking missed extra points,  Jeff Fisher tying the Tom Landry for the second most losses ever by an NFL head coach in 82 fewer games, the Chiefs stinking it up at home to an average Tampa Bay side and the Cowboys offensive line continued dominance.

LISTEN TO EPISODE 160 OF THE WOOT AND WYE SHOW

Perhaps the most intriguing discussion on the podcast surrounded the form of two NFC playoff contenders in the New York Giants and Detroit Lions. Conor Orr of NFL.com produced an article this week looking at the historically low Margin of Victory for both teams. The Giants have 27 points separating their seven wins and the Lions have a chance to tie or beat that this Thanksgiving against Minnesota as they sit on 24 points across six wins. So we asked, are the Giants or Lions good or lucky?

The Giants margin of victory over 7 wins is 27 points, the lowest in NFL history.

Kirk Cousins decision to gamble on his playing future and future earnings has been a big talking point this week and we weigh in what type of money he will be looking at and what that means for the future of the Washington Redskins and the 2017 free agent QB class.
