Thursday morning, September 28th, it is the Beating the Book podcast, Megapod.

It's Gil Alexander.

That cough you just heard was from one of the staples of the show.

He's under the weather from his mom's, not his mom's cork attic, his mom's living room in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

It's Todd Wish.

Todd, what's wrong with you? What's the problem? Bad head cold today. Is this the kind of energy we're going to get from you for the rest of the podcast, what you just said right there? I'll give you as much as I can, Gilly. I'm hoping just to cover the spread today. Okay, that's all I want to hear. Will Hill from Fox Sports, the Bear Bets, both pro football and college football podcast, and of course, star the Megapod as well. Will, thank you, sir, for being here. Boys, what's going on? Fun is always. Gil, you and Todd's interactions, reminds me a little bit of curbiard enthusiasm, Larry and Richard Lewis, just the constant needling.

There's love deep down there, but sometimes it shows in a funny way.

This long as... I do enjoy it.

You missed Wischnev Wednesdays. We used to do it on a numbers game, and it was like two brothers

bickering for an hour. It was not for everybody, but we enjoyed it. It was wonderful.

And returning guest to the show, who's kind enough to join us each and every year on the podcast and on a numbers

game quarterly. But we're thrilled to have him. He is now at FTN Sports. You know him as the creator

of DVOA, the founder of football outsiders in the past now at FTN.

It's our buddy Aaron Schatz. How you doing, Aaron? Hey, hey, hey, I'm good. I'm a little revved up. It's a good weekend of football this weekend, so nice to be on. I like a revved up Aaron Schott. I want to say this before we get to because Todd has an in-game tip. We're going to go through the records. Well, let's go through the records first, Todd.

How did we do last week?

We had a very good week. say this before we get to because Todd has an in-game tip. We're going to go through the records. Well, let's go through the records first, Todd. How did we do last week?

We had a very good week. It was a very, very good week last week. Gilly with a nice little two-and-one.

The only one he lost on was his hometown commanders. But he did hit Detroit at the Pat.

Will Hill had also a very nice week with Detroit.

Indy and his only whiff was the Dallas Cowboys.

Barely, barely not covering that one.

Barely.
