| 0:00.0 | Talking through the wind total overs and under, some of our liens for the NFC teams, and what the ramifications are for fantasy football. |
| 0:19.2 | That's what we're talking about today on Stealing Bananas. |
| 0:21.6 | I'm Ben Gretch. |
| 0:22.7 | You can find the stealing signals newsletter at BenGretsch.substack.com. |
| 0:26.1 | With me, as always, is Sean Siegel. |
| 0:27.9 | You can find all of his great work over at Rodeviz. |
| 0:31.1 | Sean, last week we did the AFC divisions. |
| 0:35.0 | So anybody listening to, you know, our long shows or our shorts, those were |
