Joe Ostrowski, Sam Panianovich with you on New Year's Eve. We've got a lot going on, especially in the college football world. So two of our favorites are willing to join us on the holiday. Michael Felder will be here at 10 a.m. Eastern Time in the Great Brad Powers, 11 a.m. Eastern Time. You know we're going to go over all four college football playoff games, including all the bowl games today leading up to tonight's playoff game. Lot going on. It's a futures Tuesday. So there are a few awards in the NFL that we think are up for grads. Some that are probably done that we will discuss as well, NFL futures. There are a few to wager on that need to be decided in week number 18. We'll tell you if there's any value on any of these underdogs here. Big surprise, Sam, favorite one, favorite covered last night, Detroit Lions. So the Fade God was in action once again, who we told you bet, San Francisco Moneyline, a number of ways yesterday. But Detroit, I was holding on hope that that cooler heads would prevail. They did not and I have different takeaways than I think most people do with last night. And high scoring affair, the over was easy week 17 favorites go 15 and one straight up, 13 and three against the spread favorite win, favorite cover over easy 74 points. Jared Goff throwing passes in the fourth quarter of a meaningless game. I angered angered the Lions fans last night. Oh, good. They still nowhere near the vicinity of your New York Giants tweet that now has 18 million views or whatever, but I'm not even watching the game. We're out last night, third quarter. My buddy texts me golf's golf still in. Why? Why is he in? Why is he still dropping back, taking content, Gibbs is getting absolutely blown up in the fourth quarter, taking hits to the head and what? I don't get it. That's how you play football, Joe. That's how you play football. What happens if Jared Goff breaks his leg in the fourth quarter last night? You know, like we don't want to go there, but it was extremely possible in a meeting football game that meant nothing. He is still out there and the Lions fans who have won nothing in 70 years are telling us, this is how you play winning football. Okay, you got lucky. You got lucky as far as I'm concerned last night. And it was funny the reaction because the post game stuff, just the all the immediate stuff that I saw, Oh, praise Dan Campbell, praise Dan Campbell, is he going to be coach of the year? See, this is, they told us when Dan Campbell tells you something, he means it. That's exactly what he's going to do. It doesn't mean it was right again. It was a meaningless game. It meant something to them. That's what they believe. They're still buying into everything that Campbell is selling. The message has not gone stale yet. Usually that this happens at some point. My takeaways are negative on Detroit. I don't know about you. Good for them. They got the win. Okay. Now you're on a short week. For the biggest game of the year and a short week. So let's see how that goes. You can't stop anybody. Do you think that playing these defense more is going to make them better? Here's what I saw Sam. I saw Brock Purdy have the most passing yard. He's had all his season and he had two bad interceptions late. There was an overthrow and basically threw in a triple coverage and Kirby Joseph, who's had a great year, turning the ball over. He picked him off a couple of times, 377 for Purdy. Mosties had all season, 10.8 yards per attempt, phenomenal. You take away those two picks. You look at the other numbers. It was definitely a top three performance from Purdy. A San Francisco offense, missing CMC, no IUC can make this strong argument. Those are their two most dynamic players on offense. And they put up 475 yards on you, 475 in a meaningless game for them. My takeaway is the lines are not going to the Super Bowl. They can't stop anybody and no matter who it is, it's a shootout. I've got some more defensive numbers that we can go over, but not even the best quarterbacks around. They are putting up numbers. This is a San Francisco offense that has had their issues this year due to their injuries. And they had their way with you. You tried as hard as you could to put away a team that has six wins. And it took almost the full gamut and you gave the numbers, right, 475 yards San Francisco's offense. How about 29 first downs? Just right up and down the field, the entire game. And that's a team that isn't good enough to even sniff a division, let alone a postseason berth. So we will see, we will see. I'm happy that the Lions fans are as cocky as they are. Heaven won a big game since 1957, 1957. And they are reinventing the wheel in a meaningless game in week 17. I'll tell you what, if I'm Minnesota, I'm Kevin O'Connell right now. I am licking my freaking chops thinking, Oh, that's what San Francisco did. We have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones, TJ Hockenson, Jalen Naylor. Good luck. Come stop us. And you notice when they hung that spread last night, first number Detroit minus three. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. See you in last. Did not last. Yeah. And I'm Minnesota, right. I think it's going to go back there. What do you think? All these two and a halfs out there, you've got to lay a dollar, $20, 25. I could see us going back there. What do you think? Sure. Whatever. I'll take three. And money line. Exactly. About this total. I bet MGM has a 58. Did you see it open a 52 for an idling? Yeah. 52. Yeah. Insane. It was so it went up six last night. Right. It went up six points. Oh man. This is going to be a great one. I can't wait for it. Sunday night football. That was the obvious option there. So mentioned favorites 15 and one straight up 13 and three against the spread in week number 17. Thankfully week number 17 is now a wrap. Paul shares this favorite team as one 72% to be specific 71.8% of games entering the final week. The highest winning percentage for the chalk since 2005 second best since the NFL adopted a 16 game schedule in 1978 that according to ESPN research, it is wild. Um, what do you want it? You know the last month or so it's 73% the favorites are hitting 73% I can't can knock anybody going with these money line parlays with all the favorites just wild numbers that I was looking at on this line's defense since week 13. Okay. Since week 13. So that takes up for most of the injuries that they have since week 13. The lions EPA per play on defense dead last number 32. Wow. Yeah. EPA per drop back since week 13 dead last number 32. That is against the following quarterbacks and that started on Thanksgiving. Okay. Caleb love Josh Allen Caleb again in Purdy last night. That is a five game sample, including a lot of their injuries on defense as they've piled up throughout the course of the year. They are dead last EPA per play on defense and you look at the potential matchups. I mean, week 18 massive, obviously it's going to be the one or they're going to end up being the five that they're the five that are going to go on the road likely to Tampa Bay, which would be I think a very high scoring affair there. And then the one they get to relax and it's funny because they need to relax. They need to rest. They need to keep guys healthy, but they decided not to rest last night. I just can't get over that. Whatever. It's also four to one to win the Super Bowl second best odds at bed, MGM, so Casey three 75 Detroit four to one Buffalo five 50 Baltimore seven, Philly seven, Minnesota nine, Green Bay 16. And then the Ramley back 25 to one to win it all. Are you betting lions four to one to win the Super Bowl with that defense?

We'll get into futures coming up in about 10 minutes. They are the second favorite for the Super Bowl Chiefs back as the favorite now. Yeah, it looks like across the board. Across the board the Chiefs are your favorite. The Lions Price at Betam Jim is four to one as the second favorite the clear cut favorite in the NFC. They're the only team in the NFC that's top four as far as the Super Bowl odds go. All right, Sammy, a few other nuggets certainly of note that came out yesterday in the NFL. More and more we're going to hear coaches reveal certain stuff a lot of it's going to be later in the week about the quarterbacks and the starters and we're kind of reading between the lines right now. But we don't have to read between the lines of Dave canals and I thought this was interesting because he comes out yesterday and says Brace Young is going to play all of our starters are going to play. I got the sense that in week 17 they were kind of like whatever seasons a wrap we accomplished what we needed because half of their defensive starting unit was out and they got smoked by Tampa Bay. So I found that to be an interesting nugget and we're going to be talking especially late in the week when we're here on Thursday and Friday more and more about what these coaches are saying than any other week on the calendar. And the big one I'd say Sake one. They're locked in the Eagles with the number two spot and Adam Schefter comes out yesterday and says I'd be floored if Sake one Barkley plays of course Sake one 101 yards away from the Eric Dickerson record. He's going to run for 220 yards in this game if he plays the whole way. I know. His clients are not going to stop him and it was so funny Casos and I had Sunday were laughing at the prop on Barkley the rushing prop. It got as high as a hundred and seventeen and a half and you're thinking huh it's a big number not really not really we got there with these. They can't tackle they can't stop anybody so he's going to get out there break the record and as somebody holding Philly stock to win the NFC I just hope he stays healthy. But apparently health doesn't matter and it's so funny like we make comments and we talk about a lot of stuff on the show I I could care less if the Lions are healthy or not. But to think that it's a good idea to play a lot of your valuable players in a meaningless game to think that's a good idea. I don't know who you're kidding yourself to think that playing sake one Barkley and mostly meaningless game is ridiculous to me. I hope they win I hope he stays healthy if he doesn't though the Eagles have nobody to blame but themselves nobody I should I mean yeah we came we came from an existence where we had to cover and talk about Tom Thibodeau forever and what did the Bulls always do. They want a lot of regular season games and then all of their star players got hurt in the playoffs because he wore them and drove them into the ground. I just hope yeah I hope that the league has its best players healthy because we all want the best product on the field I hope these guys knock on wood I hope they all stay healthy that's all I'm going to say that's all we want right we don't want these guys to get hurt but it's crazy to me the risk against the reward in these games that really don't matter all that much and the reaction today is just so idiotic it's just results based you're going to see it everywhere Campbell is right again look at Dan Campbell I know it's risky but he was right again it didn't matter and they're going to say well it mattered to the players I saw it in the post game last night well it mattered to the players players are stupid there's a reason players don't make these decisions because they're going with their heart in their emotions that's why you need to remove that you need to bring other people in you've made this question made the statement all year long their season is going to end on something stupid that Dan Campbell does and I kept thinking about that during the game last night can't wait they got out of it they got out of it you better when week 18 and if they do they're going to say it's because they played their guys last week CYA mode well they got lucky last night all right NFL futures what about the line from they're going to do in the playoffs what's up for grabs heading into the final week we'll get into that next show oh Sammy Pete this is the Vekuel network looking for a financial institution that is fewer fees better rates and gives back to the local community as one of colorado's largest credit unions velco offers great rates on products like our free boost interest checking and lower rates on loans including our home equity choice line bank virtually anytime anywhere through our online banking and our mobile app becoming a member has never been easier visit velco.org or stop by any velco branch membership eligibility required equal housing opportunity all loans subject to approval insured by NCOA velco banking for everyone
