Uh, OK, so real quick, let's do NFC West here. Uh, what, what's really interesting to me is because of the 49ers head to head matchup in the final week of the season, they're only + 3:30 to win the division, Mike. The oddsmakers are telling us, basically, if San Francisco somehow is able to win their final few games and beat Seattle on the last game of the season, they could win this division. I mean, their, their odds, as crazy as it seems, are just about where the Rams are. Yeah, and they've got tough matchups for whatever you think of Phil the Phil Rivers experiment. I don't know that I'd want to go to Indianapolis, the way they played Seattle last week on the road, uh, a good performance. It's still a talented team, even though they have Kind of falling apart here in the last 5 games. Um, but they're at Indy, and then they have home games, luckily the 49ers do, against the Bears and the Seahawks, tough matchups, but nice to get those at home. So, the 49ers playing really well. We see this with them a lot, Craig, year over year, where the Niners stumble a little bit. This year, it's certainly due to injuries, and then they pick up a lot of steam. We've seen them make the Super Bowl multiple times with going on late season runs. Wouldn't stun me if they sweep it here, but We, you and I talked about this in the summer. This is the most compelling division in football. It was to me going into the year, and now all three teams are really challenging in the playoff race. Yeah, definitely would not sleep, sleep on the Forty-Niners. You're right. They, they have surged in different points of the season. All right, uh, Saturday night here, uh, as, as I've talked about throughout the week, Mike, the one team in the NFL with the almost very best record that's getting the least respect, maybe for good reason, you'll tell me or the Chicago. Bears. I mean, think about their record this season and where they're at to be home underdogs on a Saturday night in Chicago against the Packers. The total is 46.5, even despite losing Micah Parsons and Josh Jacobs banged up, and we really don't know who's gonna be playing or not from, uh, from on, on the side of Green Bay, it sure seems to me like this is coming down to the wire on Saturday night. What do you think? Yeah, and this, this one has ultimately flipped now to where the Bears are a slight favorite. Uh, I think this is impacted in some ways, Craig, by the performance we saw a couple of weeks ago, where the Packers' offense was really good against them. The Bears have, the Bears. Calling card this season has been their defense's ability to turn the ball over. They lead the league in takeaways, and they have continued to do that. The Jaguars and the Steelers are up there at the top as well. But, uh, can they protect the ball? Caleb Williams' superpower this year has been his elusiveness and his Really care his care of the football. Uh, and normally you have a player like that, that's as elusive and trying to make plays, you see some risk-taking that goes the other way, but Caleb Williams has really protected the ball nicely. He's going to have to do that. I think the Bears can win in a lower scoring. Game, but if we start to get into the scoring, uh, matches that we saw last time around, I think go the way of the Packers. We, we have to find out, this is very difficult to discern how motivated the Packers are after suffering more significant injuries to this team. I think they're talented, I think they were talented enough to win the Super Bowl. I don't know if I feel that way any longer, losing Parsons and Watson uh down for the count again. Definitely so. Uh, OK, so we're gonna see, I, I think probably one of these two teams in the playoffs, Tampa Bay, Carolina, they're gonna face each other a couple of times. Bucks are 3-point favorites in Carolina with a total of 45.5. I, I, I mean, I, I think like the enthusiast in me, not having a side or a dog in the race, wants to see Tampa Bay take charge of this division and maybe show us something a little bit in the playoffs. But Since really the middle of October, they've shown nothing, Mike. They've gone completely the other way. Carolina is just super up and down in this spot. The way I described it earlier in the week was that I'll check back in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes. One team's gonna have a ball with a chance to kick the field goal and win. That's the way that I see this game on Sunday. Seems crazy not to take the. Points here, right? I, I'm leaning towards Tampa. I think overall, they're the better coached, better squad, but this is a coin flip game. It probably is a little surprising to some that you're seeing 3 points going the way of Carolina. So, I, I have to side with you, even though I think Tampa's probably going to win the game. Uh, we have to take the points here. Divisional home dog is not a spot I like to bet against, and in this spot, I think I have to go with them. The Bucks are still very banged up. Uh, we see a lot of that now. They have a lot of talent, but. When I'm watching their offense, it feels disjointed, as if there's almost too many options. Abuka, Evans, Godwin is in the background now. We see the backs with Irving and Tucker being used at the goal line. These are all good options, but I found the offense to be a little bit disjointed and Baker clearly not 100%. Finally, Mike, let's get to your Steelers. They're taking on the Lions this week. Detroit is -6.5. The sense of urgency really high for both teams. Honestly though, more so for Detroit. Uh, Steelers get in the playoffs with a win over the Ravens, and that pretty much sums up their season if they do that. Does Detroit win and cover this game, or could Pittsburgh keep it close? I think the Steelers have an opportunity to keep it close, but one thing they have not done well, and we saw it a couple of weeks ago with the, against the Bills, is they've had a hard time stopping the run when they need to, and the Lions can gash the Steelers. I do think that happens. I think this is a very difficult spot for the Steelers, and the Lions will have their way running the ball. Mike, feel better. Get well soon. We'll catch up with you next week here on Newswire and happy holidays to you and your family. Appreciate it. Same to you.
