00:00Let's take a quick look at the games this week.
00:05Next week is going to be fascinating, because when the lines come out, you really can get
00:08some free squares, as they would say, next week.
00:10You know, they're going to throw you a free win or two.
00:13And for you, if you guys have a good week this week, you've got a great shot for cashing
00:17something next week as well.
00:19Any games sticking out to you in particular this week, Brady, on the schedule?
00:23A lot of big lines again here.
00:24Three games, I think, of seven or more, and then another one of six and a half.
00:28Yeah, I want to say it's about three or four games that I have my eye on.
00:34And I love this time of the year, especially, I believe, the second to last week.
00:38The last week, like you said, you get some of those free squares where you know one team
00:43is resting all their starters, and it can be difficult to gauge.
00:47But in week 17, you still have teams that fall into that must-win situation, Craig.
00:53And I always say, if you must win, you must not be that good, because otherwise you would
00:57not be in such a situation.
01:00And you have teams like the Seattle Seahawks tonight.
01:03They must win.
01:04I would be leaning towards the Bears.
01:06The number that opened up in this game over the summer—now, I know that's a long time
01:10ago—but over the summer, the Bears were a three and a half point favorite in this
01:15game.
01:16A seven and a half point swing, you know, in a team that's in a must-win situation on
01:20the road.
01:21And I know Chicago's looked god-awful as of late, but I'd probably have to play that side.
01:26And then you have other teams in that same situation, like the Chargers.
01:30The Chargers on the road at the Patriots.
01:32They must win to stay alive in the playoff hunt against a team that has been eliminated.
01:37So those are the type of situations, and you were talking about it with Brad, Tampa Bay
01:42and Carolina.
01:43Tampa Bay, again, must win.
01:45Carolina, we know, has been a real scrappy underdog, you know, the last handful of weeks.
01:50So those are the type of situations I'm looking at this week.
01:53Yeah.
01:54I mean, call me crazy.
01:55I like Arizona this week, too.
01:57I don't know how that line is six and a half.
02:00They've been eliminated as well.
02:02They destroyed the Rams earlier in the season.
02:04They looked completely outclassed in that game.
02:07So, I mean, look, I'm not saying the Rams aren't good.
02:11I'm just saying that that's a lot of points for a division game against a team that you
02:15lost against the first time.
02:17Hey, there I am.
02:18Well, you know, each of those teams, Tampa Bay, the Rams, the Chargers, the Seahawks,
02:25they're not awful.
02:26But again, if they were really good, they wouldn't, you know, if they were the Lions
02:32and the Eagles, they wouldn't be in this must win situation.
02:35You even have, you know, the Commanders game.
02:38I'm trying to remember who they're going against here.
02:41The Commanders.
02:42Atlanta.
02:43Atlanta.
02:44Okay.
02:45So both of those teams are in must win situations, but they're facing each other.
02:48So what do you do there?
02:50Who do you fade there?
02:51You know, you don't really have one side or the other there.
02:54It's that team that is still involved, you know, versus that team that's just looking
02:58to play spoiler.
02:59And I like to be on the team that's looking to play spoiler.
