Hold on. Chris won, right? We're just doing this to do it. We're not trying to catch him. No, I think we've always kept the playoffs open, dude. you still get a shot steve in the total uh not so much chris i don't want a shot i don't want to show i want to give congrats to chris this an unbelievable year thank you i appreciate it and now everybody's at zero and zero this is a playoff competition now that's not how we done it in the

past congrats on your regular season award no we can do it just for the just judging by that that that hedge here we're not no we're just going to keep the competition going as we have in the years past. Because imagine if I was, imagine if I was up by two, y'all would say, hey, we need the playoffs. That's what we've done in the past. You're only up by four in the last month. I value the regular season more than most. Steve. You value the regular season more than most. However we're doing it, it's pretty clear to see that my tits are on fire right now. We'll keep going, but we retract. Congratulations. Thank you. Yeah. Chris, 55, 34, and one. Steve, 50, 38, and 2. making 44 44 42 and 4.

I got boned with another total last week. I mean, I can't even remember. What was your record? I went two and three, but I had some Hail Mary losing a total by one. No one cares. Yeah, definitely the people that you keep losing money,

you don't care. Above 500. But if you buy a house for them, he'll say, there you some money. That's right. And I'll save your family from Radon. And other harmful gases.

What's up Green Life fans? your boy Dr. Fax and I want to talk to you about Airbnb. Me and the Greenlight crew a few years ago, we stayed at Airbnb for the Super Bowl in Arizona and it was absolutely immaculate. It had a huge cactus in the backyard, had a pool, had enough room for everybody, way better than a hotel. And then recently just purchased a house with my girl and we found out that we can be host. And your house might be worth more than you think. And you can find out at Airbnb.com. com slash host. Steve, your first pick this week, Chris, you are second, making third.

Okay. Oh, dear. Denver Broncos. Like it a lot, Steve. Like the lot. Okay. Love them. I'll go Chargers Texans under, please.

That's my pick. That's my pick. It's the one pick I have. That's the one. It's the one pick. So you're all going to have to wait a little bit. completions are going to be at a premium. It's going to be hard, hard to find them.

That's terrible. Okay. Classic 2017 game. Classic. Classic. It's going to be loud. Classic. Classic making.

Okay. You know what? Take your time. I don't have to interview three candidates for Chris Long Foundation. Hmm. It's for the kids, Macon. Yeah.

The thing is, I just don't know who to pick in these games. You know what I'm saying? Give me the chargers. Oh, we? Give me the chargers. All right. And what else? Can I take the other side to go one-on-one?

Buy your half-point maybe and win both? Yeah. You can only buy your half-point-on-one. Okay. Give me, I'll go over in Washington, Tampa Bay. I'm not scared of that. Don't be afraid. Cool.

Why are you scared? Because of his record. Chris, who you like? I like the Steelers, man. I know it's so everybody's probably taking all those points, but what's it at right now? 10. Oh, yeah, give me the Steelers, man. It seems like me and a million other idiots.

Yeah. I mean, but honestly. The familiarity. Yeah, they know each other so well and Zay Flowers is down. But here's your problem. Give me a score. 27-10. 24 to 9.

Yeah. Yeah. No. Russ is going to cook this week. I feel it. Yep. Steve, two picks to you. Two picks to me.

Denver first half and Bill's under 28 and a half. The fuck just happened. I'm all in on the Broncos. What the fuck was that? Okay. I guess I can do first halves. Whatever. this is

we got to get to five fix tons of sides out there hey you know buffalo has started slow at home on some occasions this year Sean Payton baby experience can you guys see Jerry World behind me oh yeah

in the snow where the Cotton Bowl used to be played at the Cotton Bowl which is located in Dallas Dallas. It's always been in Dallas, huh? Yeah. You should get out more. Does that building still exist, the Cotton Bowl?

Yeah, that's where Oklahoma and Texas play. Is he your pick? Why don't they play it there? Whose pick is it? Yours. Oh, it's my pick? Oh, easy. Give me the first half under in Philly.

Jeez, Louise. This protest. All right. I want an asterisk that Chris took my pick. Oh, the first half under or the other one? Yeah. Sorry. Okay.

Can't even see. You guys know each other so well. It's so cute. I'll take Pittsburgh Steelers under 16 and a half. Mm. Mm. And give me, I'm going to take a little time here on this one. Jesus Christmas.

Five minutes. That is his birthday. Chris, did you see the clip floating around of Fox's first NFL pregame show? No, is it look ridiculous? Dad on there? Oh, my God, it's so good. That's good. Young Terry goes through the whole studio, young Howie, looking like a young Chris.

All right. It's tremendous. This feels like the wrong side. This feels like the wrong side. Just take it. Give me the Minnesota Vikings. Thank you. Did you use hedge?

Feels like the wrong side and then you picked it. That's what I do every time. All right. Who's up? Me? Yeah. Oh, I'll take the,

I'll take the Buccaneers. Okay. Yes. Oh, he's going to take the town of America, huh? Steve. Oh, okay. Mr.

Not Public. 80%. Petey Public. Is it 80? Who am I? Petit Pub, motherfucker. Two to you, Steve.

Chris, does it matter that the commanders and Chargers won 12 games and each beat one playoff team? Yeah, because now they're in the playoffs. That's what I'm asking you. Yeah, no, it does matter. I'm not saying the commanders can't win this game, but I just feel I'm going to take a side. I like the bucks. Understood. You know?

Okay. Getting some guys back. give me Philly minus the points you got to find a blowout I feel like that's the blowout you think it's Philly I like the sound of that I do doesn't by the Broncos

performances in big games maybe it's that and give me the commanders and use my half point there plus three and a half that's well done Steve that's a professional Chris you're up

I got to take a total don't I A little prep do I have to take a total? Yes yeah Okay, give me a lot less time than it would take Maken to pull a play out of his ass. I'm going to go with the, hmm. Take a good look at a, I'm going to go with the Rams Vikings under. I'd rather take the butcher's word for it. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, exactly. I'm going to take the Rams Vikings under. All right, Makin, uh, team total or total? No, I can do a spread dog, right? Can we say up to two? I don't know, because it couldn't. my wild card be a spread? I don't know. You got two minutes.

Pick what you want. That's a good point. Yeah, we did say up to two, but then we said we Oh, wait, I didn't have to take a total? You just told me I had to take a total. Yeah, let's stay to stay to Okay, total. I'll switch. No, no, no. So I have to take tell me again. I have to take what? A total or a team total. Thank you. Okay.

Wait, so I can pick a team total. No, no, no, no. We're putting his to the same. Okay. everybody relax everybody stay calm but i only played one wild card he's played two wild cards how do you figure no he if he plays a wild card here he's gonna have i have to i have to do a team i have to do a total team total is a wild card sorry you want me do a game it starts with making a pick what did steve do

go up to steve oh my god but it doesn't matter what steve did it's not the same thing that everybody just wanted to do the same steve did three spreads and then a wild card Two wild cards? Oh, fuck. We're fucked. I'll do. Since we're at five picks a piece, with only six games to choose from, I was thinking we could add props or a half total or a half side or an additional wild card,

so we're not running out of picks. Maybe do five picks, one side, one total, two wild cards, side total, or team total, and a prop. No one responded. Chris, you've been given permission. to change your final place. Can you go to Team Totals, please? Yeah.

I will take the I will take the Bucks over Team Total. Oh, man. That's the best one out there. Yeah. I need a good laugh.

tonight. We'll do, buddy. I'll say hi, James for you. I need to get. And Steve, if you want to run two, that's fine. I'm going to be a little while here. So what are we saying I can take here?

Anything. Fucking anything. Okay, I just want to take the opposite of something Steve did. Can you go up to Steve, please? Need to get a little closer to Steve. Give me the Bruffalo bills.

No offense, cowboy. No. I need to get closer. And I'll take that half point with the LA Chargers minus two and a half. I thought you took the Vikings.
