Yeah, playing eight buckets.

So Nick and I have bucket hats on.

That's two buckets.

We have the bucket of bets right here.

That's three buckets.

We will draw a team out of the bucket, an NFL team.

Whoever we draw, we will go through every game on their schedule, all 17.

And when we go through each individual game, we will ask ourselves what the point spread will be in that game.

And based on our consensus answer, we will then put that game into one of five buckets of games. Blowout win and blowout loss, if the spread is seven or more in each direction, likely win and likely loss if the spread is between three and six and a half in each direction, and then toss-up games, which the spread is less than three.

So one team by one, the other team by two and a half. These are toss-ups, and why does each bucket matter? Because depending on what bucket a game goes in, that's how many wins you get. So if it's a blowout win, you get a full win for that. If it's a likely win, toss-up, likely-loss any of the other ones, you get less than a full win to varying degrees. So we go through every game, we add them up, add up all the games and all the buckets, and it gives us a number. Let me compare that number to the number in the market for the win total. And it's sort of one way of many, many ways that you can think about NFL win totals. Thank you to our friend Ken Barkley. It was texting with Ken this morning about Kaelin-Dabor in Alabama. Our friend PJ Glassner will join us at the end of the show today in the NBC Sports Now Power Hour. We'll talk to PJ about Bama and everything else going on in college football coming up at the end of the show. But Femmy, you have the bucket of bets. I think we're going to that we're going to you know we said that the cults won't rig it for Anthony Richardson

I think we're going to,

that we're going to, you know, we said that the Colts won't rig it for Anthony Richardson. I think we want to rig this, right? So this is, this is, this is Femi doing his best, rest in peace, David Stern impersonation here, out of the big ass salad bowl. As you can see in the salad bowl. Go ahead. Tell us.

As you can see,

the viewing audience,

for the listening audience, I'll explain that you can see everybody has a yellow paper. Those are the teams. But there might be a frozen one. Might be a white paper in there. And that paper belongs to the New York football giants. And that will be the team we start off with. New York Giants. You read the schedule in the last segment? I didn't remember it, but let's go through this bad boy. Great. It's all the best teams in the league all in a row to start the year. We were talking myself, Femmy, and Bill prior to the show. And it's like, well, what if we don't get to the Giants for like two weeks?

Because, like, they're actually, you know, we have the Russell Wilson news today. And I think it was me that said, and it might have been someone, I don't know. You know, like, we don't, we can just, you just like rig it, like, WWE, like, we'll, like, we'll book it. It's okay. we're not breaking any rules.

So this is not an authentic.

There are rules.

Yes. Like, we'll book it. It's okay. We're not breaking any rules.

So this is not an authentic.

There are rules.

Yeah, yesterday was authentic.
