After a few weeks off, Sascha, Matt, and Eric have a lot of pent up football discussion they need to get out. So on top of breaking down a mostly cruddy Wild Card schedule, the guys also talk about the MVP race, examine some interesting teams heading into the offseason, and reveal the winner of their regular season ATS picks contest.
But just because a winner has been crowned for the season (and taken the coveted prize of whatever is in the “lost and found”), it doesn’t mean the guys aren’t putting a ton of effort into their playoff picks against the spread. Just like in fantasy football, nobody remembers the regular season champ; but the playoff champion never lets you forget it.
So listen in for a full slate of NFL discussion, or just skip ahead to the betting advice (22:00 minute mark). As long as you hit the play button, you’re doing something right to start the New Year.
Eric’s Picks:Â OAKÂ (+3.5), SEA (-8), MIA (+10), NYG (+5)
Matt’s Picks: HOU (-3.5), DET (+8), PIT (-10), NYG (+5)
Sascha’s Picks: HOU (-3.5), SEA (-8), MIA (+10), NYG (+5)
Don’t believe the guys made sweet picks last week? You can find their Week 17 preview here.
