Thursday morning, November 9th, 2023, it is the beating the book podcast Megapod.

Week number 10 in the National Football League.

It's Gil Alexander.

What a year.

It is shaving up to be.

Halfway point, by the way.

Halfway point of the season.

Obviously, some teams are a shade past it, shade short of it, and when you have a 17-game janky schedule. But in terms of the total number of weeks, we're at the halfway mark. And this was the point last year where I had a commanding lead in the megapot, and then I apparently squandered at the second half of the lead, which I'm sure, second half of the season, which I'm sure Todd will remind us up here momentarily, which brings us to the introductions of our staples. First, Will Hill, ladies and gentlemen, at not the Will Hill on Twitter. You can also find him not only here at the Megapod, but all over Vesen, not only these days, but all days. And of course, the Bear Betts pods, Chris Felica's college football and pro football pods.

Wilson, how are you, sir? not only these days, but all days. And of course, the Bear Betts pods, Chris Felica's college football and pro football pods.

Wilson, how are you, sir?

What's going on?

Another week, excited to get into it.

I just can't get these 50-50 games to go my way between the Cowboys last week and the Ravens the week before with that Plinko.

So hopefully I can make up some ground here. It can be very frustrating. It really does come down to those 50-50s. More often than not, Plinko, that's what this league is. I, by the way, had the Eagles in the Super Contest, not the Super Contest, but in circa millions last week. Total luck win. I completely agree with you. And then there's from his mom's cork attic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the great Todd Wishnev, everybody, star of the Showtime docu-series action. How you doing, Dottie? Gilly, that's interesting that you ask, because world events have made me a bit surly, and even more surly has been the endless football bad beats. I really need to get back where I started the football season from because it's been a very, very difficult football season. A microcosm was Jets plus 14 at the half, half time of the Jets Chargers game Monday night, driving with two minutes to go down 14. Somehow I lose that. That's been a microcosm, but I'm in a good mood. I've eat healthy for six days in a row, lost 10 pounds. Yes. I'm fired up and college basketball's back and I'm kicking ass. Now, in honor of all that, in honor of all of what I have just said, there will be no Miami Dolphin song tonight. Oh, no. But there is something else, and it goes a little bit.

Give me 22 seconds.

It goes a little bit like this.

Because it's all right, and I don't eat alone.

We're going to get right back to where we're started from.

Gambling's good, bad beats are gone. We're going to get right back to where we're started from. Gamplin's good, bad beats are gone. We're going to get right back to where we started from. Now, when that single hits the

top of the charts, I may even be dating Travis Kelsey. Thank you. I just asked how you were doing.

That's all I asked.

Wow.
