to say it's flew absolutely by but indeed in fact it always does fly by when we're talking about the national football league but joining me here to help me break everything down for the final week of the regular season as far as all the injury news and updates I got my guy here with me it's the DJ and doc himself Sebastian fear on Sebastian what's going on brother how you doing I'm doing great man ready to kick off 2025 and you know the minor leagues of college football have given us quite the slate here both today and tomorrow so it makes the midweek blues without football a little bit nicer yeah inching inching ever so closer to the weekend I know we got a game starting on Saturday in the national football league of course college football playoffs going on of course as well so should be a fun week I should say as we ring in the new year for 2025 but we'll go through everything as we usually do here I just mentioned that we should or wanted to cover the games I actually have some meaning to them this season I'm not sure if I should say this final week of the regular season not sure many people do care about some of the other toilet bowl games this week but if there's anything significant a summation will mention it but I didn't want to touch on the big games that are happening this weekend but before we do dive into it here I just want to quickly remind everybody to check out the SGP and app all of our picks and podcasts it's in one place all for absolutely free I got to do just type in SGP and in the app store and you'll see the SGP and logo pop up just do us a favor download the app completely free like I mentioned you'll get all of our picks and podcast all in one place for absolutely free all right Sebastian we got games starting on Saturday all four teams of course in the AFC North will be battling it out here starting at about 430 Eastern Standard Time we've got the Cleveland Browns they are in Baltimore to take on the Ravens Ravens laying 17 and a half points in this game with a total of 41 and a half Ravens looking to clinch the AFC North Division here with the victory here but what are we looking at for injuries as far as Browns and Ravens your Sebastian yeah obviously you know big game for the Ravens you know Cleveland they've been also a revenge game Cleveland beat him earlier in the year with I think it was a combination of DTR and and Winston Winston and then I think the Sean Watson I might have been the game you heard it so you know this is a bit of a revenge angle Cleveland a little bit more the beat up team why receiver Cedric Tillman put on the IR he's been out for a long time with the concussion definitely you know hopefully he's doing okay but he's been out for over a month so they just shut them down for the season hopefully it's nothing too too lasting as far as like next season there cornerback Denzel Ward always seems to be injured but does play through a lot he was ruled out with a shoulder injury unable to return last week so we'll see if he's able to come back obviously their best cover guy there and they got some running back problems in Cleveland Pierre Strong is in the concussion protocol on a short week that's never good and then Jerome Ford I know a guy that I liked thought he had a good matchup you know he got early in the first half came back for one play in the second half and couldn't do much looks like a high-income spring mechanism so I would really don't expect him to be out there so you know from the props standpoint that really just leaves the odd foreman who was a leading rusher last week he did get some good burn there so something interesting you know we'll kind of see this is a little bit of a situation where Baltimore it's tough to run on them so maybe foreman receiving or something out of the backfield there for the ball to more side Justice Hill he was a missing practice with an illness but he seems to be good to go he should expected to play this week off his concussion as a nice kind of spell to Derek Henry especially in a game where it could be some blowouts I know Justice Hill is a guy that I've played in the past because he gets some burn both in the run and the receiving realm whether they're you know in receiving when they're when they're competitive or when it's a blowout he will get some hand offs there when Henry's on the bench and then Charlie Kohler looks like he's coming back for them third string tight end there a good blocking tight end he had a broken arm but he's gonna return to practice so Baltimore definitely the healthier team Cleveland a bit be up especially beat up especially at the running back position we're still expecting DTR to be the yeah so the news just kind of broke that well I don't know how but if it's breaking news but they're him and Bailey Zappi are gonna split time I mean can we just take a second like we would have been watching it like I've watched the past two rounds games you know I thought you know maybe it could be entertaining the last week they kind of forced fed it to us but God like DTR has to be the worst quarterback in the NFL I don't even think it's I don't know how they tried him out there like James I don't care if she throws 50 picks sixes he's more competent TTR but that's a whole nother story yeah I was hoping that we maybe get Winston back in this game maybe pull off some Winston magic and pull off the upset here but fortunately we won't be getting that in this game here between the Browns and the Ravens we'll move it along here to the nightcap 8 p.m. Eastern start time between the Cincinnati Bengals looking to keep their slim hopes alive of getting into the playoffs they are visiting Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers Bengals laying a point on the road here with a total of 48 and a half year Sebastian anything for Bengals and Steelers yeah I mean look this is probably one of the bigger games of the weekend here Steelers you know assuming the Ravens win playing I know they're your Texans but getting the fifth seed compared to the sixth seed is a big difference in the playoffs they will either head to Houston if they secure the fifth seed with the win or they will head to Baltimore for if they get the sixth seed there so I know they play well against Baltimore Baltimore you know just recently put it on them so I think their favorable matchup would probably be Houston there so and then obviously Cincinnati's got a win to stay in so Cincinnati side start with them only a couple injuries right now they have their practice report for today hasn't came back you'll see me check my phone occasionally see if anything pops up because now's about the time but Chase Brown is the big one we saw him take the Kirok effort you know not only for his team but for Denver plus three and a half betters so we thought he injured himself on that play picked up what they're calling a mild high ankle sprained in my opinion there's no such thing as far as a mild injury when we talk about a high ankle sprained because even in mild cases it takes about four to six weeks to fully recover now he didn't practice today or you know I believe I saw that he did not practice today he's not out there I expect him to try to give it a go but I do not think he's gonna be able to do much of anything you know it is not your typical ankle spray where you roll your ankle it is a much more stable joint which means it requires a lot more force to injure so a lot longer recovery timeline now yes we did see Patrick Holmes play on this injury but one they play two entirely different positions I mean the demands of a quarterback on from a mobility standpoint in taking hit standpoint is vastly different from a running back in the NFL especially one that's become a workhorse really really solid player from them both out of the receiving realm and in the backfield so yeah he may try to play but look guys I think he's gonna be very limited and high-re injury risk so if they do left any if he is able to play and they loft any numbers I'm gonna be going as under I know everyone takes back from my homes but again quarterback position in my homes she just is a little bit different with these injuries he played them before I think it'd be closer to something like Justin Herbert we saw him try to play one week after and still a quarterback but he re-injured his ankle went down they lost all his unders hit something like that is probably closer to what we'll see their defensive tackle showed him rankings he got put in the IR with an illness another guy has been out for a long time we don't really have the full story there I don't know exactly what the illness is obviously hoping he's okay but he's gonna be out the rest of the season and then Pittsburgh is getting healthy and they need it because they're on the three-game losing streak they do not want to go to the playoffs on a four-game losing streak their best cornerback Joy Porter junior is full practice today expect to be back Justin Fields full practice today expected to be back Roman Wilson the guy their rookie wide receiver who's got no burn because of a high-income sprain in a hamstring injury in a full practice today and is set to return off the IR so there's a good chance we could see Roman Wilson and that wide receiver to slot is you know I know Calvin Austin is as done well but that third wide receiver or that slot position I think there's you know there's some targets available for Roman most and if he's able to do anything and what a great matchup to come back to and if this awful Cincinnati defense running back Jalen Warren picked up a rib injury he is a limited in practice but first practice of the week the fact he's even out there's a good sign and then Cole Holcomb is a guy who practiced for the first time this year still on the pup physically unable to perform list I don't expect Holcomb to be back but maybe for the playoffs they could never use enough linebackers there in Pittsburgh so you know I think this is a game where there's going to be some points I'm curious where you're looking to kind of get an edge here between the Bengals and the Steelers so you mentioned the Chase Brown one I 200% agree with you if he is out there I would look at the unders which makes me kind of just pivot to taking Joe Burrow overs right past attempts completions yardage I'm not sure who their backup running back then would be right Zach Moss has been gone for a while okay over from Chicago yeah so I still think it's Burrow I mean he's been an absolute terror I mean for the entirety of a season honestly you mentioned the poorest defense of the Cincinnati Bengals even with that rib injury to Jalen Warren I think this could be another big nausea week last four head-to-head meetings against the Bengals Sebastian 90 rushing yards 99 78 and then earlier this season he had 75 on 16 carries he scored a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals and four straight head-to-head meetings here as well so how do you keep the Bengals offense off the field smash run just run the run the football here so I think this could be another big Nashie week here I'd curious to see what the number does come out on for Najee but I would look at Burrow overs and then I think my more friend my do you feel like my favorite player might just be Najee rushing yards to go over in this game here so yeah that's a great point with Najee because a lot of people you know Jalen Warren's been coming on he's been getting a little more touches and I know a lot of people are kind of responding to that yeah I do think this is a Najee Harris game for the reasons you said it's more of a between the tackles something I just want to throw out there as a nice little sprinkle potentially we'll see what the numbers app but Justin Fields anytime touchdown this just feels like the week that they could get him involved again when they were kind of rolling there they were bringing him in in short yardage situations kind of that you know not wildcap a zone read type offense there I could definitely see they've been struggling in the red zone lately you know something to mix it up he is fully practicing so just a note if it's a good enough number you know anything above 10 10 to 1 15 to 1 something to sprinkle on to think about all right let's keep it rolling here we'll get over to the Sunday slate for the final week of the regular season let's get over to the new Orleans Saints they are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bucks win and they I believe clinched the NFC South Division laying 13 and a half points here at home with a total of 43 and a half year Sebastian what are we looking at for Saints and Bucks yeah obviously yeah winning you're in right now I know the Washington Bay game was so big for the Bucks it was so big for I've got a ton of futures on the Bucks to win the South and then Lana to miss the playoffs so hoping that the Buccaneers can get this done against a very very depleted New Orleans team these are the ones I have information right now Kendra Miller was knocked out of the game with concussion we'll see you know at this point in the season it's really kind of 50-50 for concussions that Thursday practice is key regarding their status so we'll have to see on Kendra Miller and then Jamel Dean for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a guy has been in and out of the lineup a ton he came in with the knee injury and he got knocked out of the game with one so we'll see where he's at maybe they rest him because let's be honest I mean it's either gonna be Spencer Ratler or Jay Caner I don't I very likely doubt cars gonna be back I mean I haven't officially rolled them out I haven't officially put on the IR but they talked about a pretty severe fracture on his hand there so I'd be very shocked you know Alvin Kamara I'd be shocked if he plays Crystal Lave they had a chance last week so maybe he plays but I mean what's the point especially if that Spencer Ratler or Jay Caner out there it's gonna be tough to to do anything even though you know this Tampa Bay secondary is you know it can be taken of but I just don't know if the Saints are the team that can do it the other one I want to mention safety Antoine Winfield you know he picked up a knee injury earlier and kind of said he was gonna be out several weeks and ever told us what the injury was but he's kind of right around being out for about a month so I just chance he could potentially get up some burn really just to kind of knock some rust off obviously a huge player for them they just got back other safety Jordan Whitehead so if they can start sure enough that secondary before the playoffs I think that'd be a big thing for them but you know I think this is one to watch to see guys like Cara Kamara and Alave I would call them all doubtful right now but we'll kind of see how the week progresses. Yeah definitely keep an eye on those I just feel like if those guys aren't able to go this was something I did look at last week was and underdog fancy our sponsor does a fantastic job of giving these markets a first half projections Baker Mayfield passing yards Mike Evans path receiving yards mentioned this Mike Evans I think 85 yards away from getting to the 1000 mark for to continue that streak in his career so I think that he definitely gets there in this game I think just beat him early then if they're up by I don't know two three touchdowns at the half you start maybe seeing a heavy dose of Bucky Irving at that point as well so the game script is really there for the bucks in in this game especially being at home against the New Orleans Saints like so as you mentioned with the team that is depleted right now with all the injuries that they are dealing with anything else for Saints bucks just another guy I want throughout there because I like to look for these situations especially in these week 18 games or things get a little wacky Sean Tucker I don't know if they're gonna if you're gonna find any lines on him but if they do offer the anytime touchdown he is kind of that guy where we saw it against Carolina he's gonna get some he's gonna be the guy to get some work and he runs really hard so he's definitely a guy who runs prideful so you know later in the game if they do start resting some sars or they're just I mean I really it spreads 13 and a half like I expect them to be playing with a large lead just like they did against Carolina last week he's a guy that you can look for in the anytime touchdown market as well again I want to see what the number they put him at but just someone to keep an eye on as far as you know a little bit of a dart throw if that's kind of your flavor 14 Russia Thames 136 yards he had earlier this season against a New Orleans Saints he did record a touchdown in that game as well so we could maybe see him like Sebastian mentioned if this game does get out of hand for the Saints at the backups do come in for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this matchup all right before we get over to the next game here on the week 18 schedule I mentioned underdog fantasy man just does a fantastic job he'd have so many different options when it comes to their betting sorry their biggest menu of all sports honestly you can win up to

that promo code machine all right let's keep it rolling here next game on this schedule we want to get into is going to be the can see Chiefs they are going to be taking on the Denver Broncos in this game currently looking at the lines for this game I am seeing that the Broncos are an 11 point home favorite with a total of 40 here Sebastian of course nothing to play for at all for the Kansas Chiefs but everything to play for for the Denver Broncos yeah so really in this one it's really just the one right now I want to talk about his Isaiah Pacheco who's probably not gonna be out there today or this week but for the playoffs he should be ready to go he picked up a rib injury any read said that he'll be good to go for the playoffs you know I don't expect many if at any starters to be playing in this game for Kansas City so I just want to give the update for you know when we think about futures and things down the line and stuff like that you know we'll see what his role is I think that's an interesting conversation of like Kareem Hunt seems to still kind of be getting a lot of the carries it's definitely not back to Pacheco's role so we'll see you know that's a whole different question but the fact that he should be healthy for the playoffs is a good sign for Kansas all right envy for the Denver side of things nope not yet at least but yeah it looks like they're coming in mostly clean bill of health all right I will mention this and I'll talk about this more as we progress through the week for the prop cast but quote and son I believe it was 86 let me double check here on how many much yards he needs to unlock a contract incentive let's see 82 yards for 500,000 yeah he he's going up against look the Kansas City Chiefs defenses their secondary has been kind of depleted with injuries all year so you know maybe a unit that you wouldn't think of getting some rest but I could definitely see them you know having a bunch of backups back there so just Portland Sutton he can be you know regular starters so I'm sure you'll have a field day with some backups yep all right let's keep it moving here let me get back to my screen here we'll get over to the LA Chargers they are taking on the Raiders in this game screen keeps going out on me here the lines in this game Chargers a five and a half point road favored here with a total of 41 and a half Sebastian anything for Chargers Raiders yeah you know charges with the motivation you know if they win and Pittsburgh loses then they get the fifth seed instead of the six seed right with Denver losing you know last week they're kind of locked in to at least the six seed so it's just between them and Pittsburgh so some motivation you know a position that's been really kind of a vulnerability for them this year's been the safety position because safety Alohi Gilman went off early with onto the IR and then his backup Elijah Moulden who's been playing well he broke his fibula he's he's done for the year so the good news not for him unfortunately but for the team is that safety Alohi Gilman could start practicing this week so I don't know about you know playing I would kind of be shocked if they roll him out here against the Raiders name O'Connell but as far as for them in the playoffs that's gonna be a huge boost to play outside you know Derwin James is a guy who loves playing the box is where he's best utilized so they need someone back there to cover center field and Gilman is the starter and he's a very good safety in this league but you know the fact that they were almost gonna be on safety number three I think they brought Tony Jefferson out of retirement Marcus May some really guys that you just can't trust back there so big news for them if Gilman's able to go so one to definitely watch I don't expect them this week so you know if you want to take a flyer on a guy like Trey Tucker as a guy that they like to throw the ball deep to in Las Vegas you know a couple of those maybe some nice ladder potentials because you're gonna have some backup safety's playing in the middle of field but you know I think really it's just bigger the Chargers are gonna get a little bit of boost for the playoffs on the other side Amir Abdullah I think you know is this I believe this is someone we talked about last week he had a career day I mean absolutely went off for the Raiders and then he he unfortunately up the game with a foot injury haven't got a ton of updates where that's at you know Chargers are decent run defense but obviously him out of the backfield all season has been you know a really profitable angle in his receiving yards so something to watch for you know they've got some beat up linebackers with the Chargers there so we'll see it would be great if he could play but you know he wasn't able to return to the game so definitely no guarantees for Amir Abdullah one to watch this week yeah big game last week against the Saints 115 rushing yards on 20 attempts 5.8 yards per carry also had three receptions on four targets for 32 receiving yards he's had at least 30 receiving yards in three straight games here 32 47 against the Jags yeah 58 against the Atlanta Falcons here so definitely keep an eye out if Amir Abdullah will be a go this week against the Chargers next game on the schedule here we get over to the Miami Dolphins they are taking on the Jets this week Dolphins laying a point on the road here with a total of 39 and a half another team that's still alive are the Dolphins as far as playoff implications here Sebastian but what are we looking at for Dolphins Jets yeah I know all this talk about the Bengals but I mean the Dolphins are very alive because if the Broncos lose it defaults to the Dolphins not the Bengals so you know very interesting game here I this is a line that we'll talk about in a second look quarterback to talk about a very questionable for this game I don't give a shit who's back there I don't understand how the Miami Dolphins are only laying one on the road against the Jets that's been just awful but anyway so look to I talked about I picked up a hip injury against your Texans was that week 15 yeah he played through it got hit again against San Francisco wasn't able to play last week but Daniel said it was a it was a safety concern as far as him not having the mobility to move out of the pocket get away from some of those hits so you know he's very kind of eerie about his status for this week no real confirmation either way so this is gonna be one we have to watch practice reports I don't expect him to practice Wednesday it's gonna be Thursday and Friday that's gonna really tell the story here but it's new finally look competent after a little bit of a shaky start and definitely he sucked in the beginning of the year he looks a lot more competent and he was making some nice throws to Tyree kill and wall Denzel Ward was still in the game so it's not like it's a it's a matchup that is too devastating and some other things I like for Miami here is is they're optimistic to get back Jalen waddle this week he had a minor knee injury he missed two games they're expecting him to be back and on the other side saw scariner came in played through a hamstring injury but unfortunately re injured his hamstring I I'd say there's really very unlikely he gives it a go this week again nothing to play for why injure yourself if you already injured so you don't have saw scariner you're getting back Jalen waddle the only bad news is left tackle Toronto instead he's been battling a knee injury for weeks I would imagine he's gonna need some type of surgery in the offseason he got knocked out of the game because of a reactivation so we'll see with him I mean there's been weeks where he hasn't practiced and he's played there's been weeks where he practices and he gets downgraded so he's kind of a big question mark but they've kind of been dealing with it all season again this just defense is not what we we thought it was gonna be so yeah I mean I whether two was in the game or not I like a lot of the dolphin stuff I would say if it's new Pontley you know John is Smith is a guy that he likes his rushing was a plop that was an easy prop to play last week you'd pick up a touchdown with that too you know I think the Jets you can attack them on the ground so I'm sure to ban a chain is gonna have a big day then if they're gonna rely on him so I just think that the dolphins you know you have to tweak the game plan depending on who's that quarterback but I really like them in this matchup against the Jets yeah you nailed it I do like I did play on Lisa rushing yards last week that was got there rather easily especially in the second half of that game but I think that's something that if he is under center this week that will be something I will definitely be in my eye on for sure here for Snoop Huntley against the New York Jets

night for all the marbles in the NFC we've got the Minnesota Vikings they are going to be visiting the Detroit Lions Lions laying two and a half points in this game with a total of 57 the biggest total by far this season as far as a total goes Sebastian but what a way to cap off the NFL regular season NFC North up for grabs the number one seat up for grabs what are we looking at for Vikings and Lions she's I mean that's how it totals huge I mean it makes sense but wow but yeah just a quick shout out to the Lions man Dan Campbell everyone thought he was an idiot let's be honest it was for a couple years they just thought he was a big knee in her thaw getting in there having no idea what he was doing but he kind of executed his game plan last night flawlessly he got the revenge W he played all of his starters there was no major injuries and his defense started off getting shredded they played a respectable second half with a couple turnovers and really only held them to you know six points in the fourth quarter that came at really really late in garbage time so shout out to Dan Campbell it was it was very fun to watch I don't know if I had to feel in the same way if I was a Lions fan but as just an NFL fan that was a super entertaining game and made a good amount of money on some some ladders so that was a fun fun game for betters and NFL fans for this game really the biggest thing is you know running back Aaron Jones now he went was out of the game and it was to the point where that last drive where they had the ice the game against the Packers to pick up that last first down he was not out there typically it's like oh shit like that's that's a big deal but it seems like they were just holding them out for precautionary reasons just a quad contusion which is a fancy word for a bruise so you know it's not like a tiny bruise I'm sure I'm sure he's he's got to work through it a little bit but all the expectation is he's going to be fine he's going to practice this week he's even a good to go and I would agree based on the diagnosis you know if it was a quad strain we're talking about something completely different but the confusion aspect he should be going to go mostly all guys played through this Aaron Jones you know this is a huge game if you win this game you get off the next week and you're in the second round of the playoffs so massive massive game the only other thing I have to mention which I don't have any concrete info on this yet but you know Lions got back linebacker Jalen or Reeves Maven last week there's potential talks about Alex and Ziloni potentially me I'm going to make a return he had a fractured elbow forearm or something like that fractures typically take you know three to four weeks they said four to six weeks we're kind of at that mark so we'll see if they want to hold him out for the playoffs or if they want to bring him back for this week so that's the only one I would really want to watch because he's a he makes a huge difference he really does those linebackers you know I know the defensive line has been beat up but those linebackers were making up for those injuries earlier in the season and when he went down he was the leader of that defense so at least at the linebacker level that front seven level so that's one I would keep an eye on because for me that's a big enough defensive injury that would flip you know a little bit into the line's favor there yeah I mean look the lines have just been decimated by injuries you know throughout the season especially on that defensive line we've talked a lot about throughout the year Justin Jefferson has been one guy that has dominated especially at Ford Field in his career trying to pull up those numbers here for Justin Jefferson against the Detroit Lions I think the last yeah so four games in his career against the Lions he's had at least nine receptions in all four games eleven receptions at least in three of the four games and I'm just going to quickly read off the yardage here for you Sebastian 133, 182, 223 and 192 for Justin Jefferson against the Detroit Lions in Ford Field so it could be another big game for Mr. Justin Jefferson the toll is indicating where you will see points so if you are betting maybe overs on props this game might just be it for you to do that here but definitely looking forward to this one on Sunday night I think that's going to do it here Sebastian I know we talked about the games that have you know at least some type of playoff implications meaningful games here but anything else across the NFL as far as injuries go that you want to mention that we should probably keep our eye on yeah really quick before that just something on you know you mentioned it but this this Minnesota Detroit game might just be wearing where you can probably get it right by just clicking on everybody's overs but you know Jaylen Naylor is an interesting guy I was able to ride the Ricky Pearsall ladder last night kind of plays in a little bit of simmer roll there in the slot also George Kittle had himself a game so TJ Hockinson so you know there's some opportunities against Detroit but the same way with Minnesota they've been giving up yards all games so whether you want to go Jared Goff or try to pinpoint the guy who's gonna have a game I think golf passing yards is probably just the easier way to get after that you know in a game that has a pretty historically high total so but some other injuries I just wanted to mention there's only a couple but Brock Purdy you know we saw him go out of the game last night Josh Dobbs came in and led that kind of last touchdown drive he picked up he's got some elbow inflammation and basically kind of has some nerve irritation lost him feeling in his hand this isn't you know unless there's a really major injury associated with it this itself is not too concerning they kind of already came out and said Loki's not probably not gonna play week 18 which I fully expect him not to but you know this isn't something concerning originally when I first thought of it you know he had to have reconstructive surgery on that UCL ligament so not Tommy Johns but they did do a little bit of the I can't remember if his repair reconstruction but one of those where the opposite of the Tommy John surgery so you do have you asked yourself some questions about you know did that connect sometimes they have to take the nerve and put it in a different position is that affecting it but it sounds like everything coming out of San Francisco right now is it's not anything you know threatening for next season or anything so he should be fine just don't expect him next week and then in the same game Trey Benson just got put on the IR and James Connor has been aggravated he's knee injury again so I don't know if it's you know a dimmer cotto at that point or how far down you want to go down that depth chart there but there's going to be a lot of backups in that game just purely by injury for that one other than that I think that is pretty much it a lot of the injuries at least the big ones were for the games at two matter because let's be honest everything else is just a crap shoot yeah Michael Carter was that guy last week for the Arizona Cardinals 13 carries 70 yards 5.4 yards per carry there so yeah I look at this a great reminder and we say this every single week but I think when we're going into the final week of the regular season you probably want to take some time out of your schedule if you are a serious better and number one of course listen to this episode podcast but listen to the press conference of some of these coaches of what they're saying because you're going to see starters getting pulled backups coming in maybe even up until game day so I think you know you you at least for the incentive one that we'll talk about that more on a podcast later this week but some of these other ones like we've just talked about on this prop on this episode keep your eyes and ears open you want to have those notifications on for for these guys that are probably going to be playing maybe a half sitting up the second half these backups coming in so this is a week to capitalize but again you got to be smart about it at the same time as well yeah to your point like you know coaching tendencies you know you can go back to preseason and things like that like Sean McVay comes to mind a guy who never plays anybody in the preseason so yes you know they secured the energy once they're technically could play for some seating if Tampa Bay loses they could get the number three seed at this point or maybe they're ahead of Tampa Bay but there's some type of seating potential there but you know the number opened at Seattle minus three I jumped on it immediately because I don't expect McVay to throw Stafford out there just with his injury history and just how much he means to the team there so that's just stuff like that where you know you really got to pay attention to what the coaches are saying and then look at like what they've done in the past situation so I think that's a great point week 18 is can be very fun but definitely not one where you want to be blowing all your units on because it's going to be wacky yeah 100 percent of course you want to save your bullets for the playoffs of course and we'll be here for that up until the Super Bowl of course as well all right that's going to put a cap in it nice and sweet here I'm looking forward to the football this weekend especially in the national football league should be a lot of fun some profitable angles for sure but Sebastian anything else you want to mention my name before we get out of here ah no hey we appreciate you guys listening all year you know be safe have a happy time but you know have a little fun watch the ball drop hopefully we'll see last year it was when Ohio State was missing a kick and the ball dropped so maybe we get an Aston gente walkoff touchdown and overtime or something this year so we'll see yeah 100 percent again if you're going to be out there just be safe I've said this on other parts as well be smart if you need to call an uber call if you don't need to be driving if you are going to be partaking in alcohol of course but yeah like Sebastian mentioned appreciate everybody that's listening to us throughout this year this was a new concept that we want to introduce this year and I think we've had success doing that for sure so if you have any more feedback that you want for this episode you know tweet at us you could tweet at Sebastian at the DJN doc you can tweet at me as well @sports nerd 824 or the prop cast #SGPN on Twitter as well but appreciate all the support over these course of the season and of course we're not done quite yet all right we'll be back next week talking about the NFL playoffs for a wild card weekend so definitely looking forward to it and then I'm sure we'll throughout of it we'll get more of a Giants banter from Sebastian and where they end up with their traffic all right we'll talk to you guys next week have a happy new year be safe out there but always remember that you want to let it ride [Music]
