00:00Yeah, we take a look at the NFC playoff matchups here.

00:02And again, how massive that game was between the Seahawks and the 49ers,

00:06which gives the Seahawks the win.

00:09They don't have to leave, have a great home field advantage,

00:10even though they've actually played their best football on the road seemingly here.

00:13That's an advantage for them.

00:15It used to be in the past, Joe, top two teams get by,

00:17so it's a little more even in the playing field.

00:18It's massive to have that number one overall seed.

00:21Then we find out the Chicago Bears in the two seed.

00:23They're going to take on the division rival in the Green Bay Packers.

00:25Then the six seed 49ers going to travel to Philadelphia as the third seed.

00:29And then the Rams, that fifth seed going up against the fourth seed Carolina Panthers.

00:33If we're looking for probably the easiest path to victory here in round number one,

00:37you just look at the point spreads here.

00:38It's double digits for the Rams.

00:39They probably should win.

00:40Then we have some pretty good matchup show between the Bears and the Packers

00:43and the Eagles and the 49ers.

00:45Yeah, again, should be very interesting.

00:49You know, all the West Coast teams, Donnie, with the exception of Seattle as a bye,

00:53but we got a lot of West Coast teams, Donnie, have to good West Coast teams

00:58that are now going to have to travel out east here because of the way it all ended up

01:03seeding-wise.

01:05But make no mistake about it.

01:07A lot of experience, though.

01:09Some newbies, but a lot of experience in this year's playoffs, especially on that side.

01:14Yeah, we take a look at some of these price points here that we look at for the NFC champion.

01:18Yes, obviously, of course, you're going to have the Seahawks now as the favorite

01:20at a plus 190 price.

01:22They're the number one seed.

01:22They're going to be at home.

01:23They're going to wait while multiple teams take losses this weekend, followed by the Rams,

01:27Eagles, Packers, Bears, and 49ers.

01:28For my money, if I'm taking two swings at plus, it's the Eagles at plus 450, and it's

01:33the Packers at plus 850.

01:35Because I believe, Joe, in the next round, the NFC divisional round, it's going to be the

01:39Eagles taking on the Packers.

01:41Therefore, that gives me a jetway to the NFC championship game with a good plus money ticket

01:45in my pocket.

01:46Any looks for you, Joe, in that plus money market here to win the NFC?

01:49It is wide open, and the way that it's going to turn out, too.

01:55And, you know, experience matters this time of year, Donnie, right?

01:59So Seattle gets to spend a week home.

02:02They haven't been in this spot in a hot minute, right?

02:05But we know the Bears are in uncharted territory.

02:08But all those other teams, including your Eagles, these are teams that have been there,

02:13done this, know exactly what it takes to win.

02:16You know, experience to me is the advantage early here, and I don't know how many upsets

02:23we're getting here early in this side of the bracket.
