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.
