and of course, Sirius XM Channel 158. It's Gil Alexander, Kelly Bidlin alongside. This is a numbers game at Visa, the Sports Betting Network on a glorious Monday here at Circa Resort Casino, downtown Las Vegas. Good morning to you, sir. Oh, good weekend? Did you enjoy the weekend, Gil? Oh, did I ever? Did I ever? By the way, there is a national championship of college football tonight. Let's say that off the top. Tim Murray will be here to discuss, as will Wes Reynolds, a little later on the show. If you are new to this, if you're listening to Sirius XM 158 for the first time and like, hey, what's this all about? We usually do something on Mondays called guessing lines during the regular season. I am in a cocoon. I guess the lines of the upcoming weekends NFL games. Kelly tells me what they are. And within that exercise, we try to extract some value. We don't do that in the playoffs as much. But I'll tell you what the guesses were. I don't think there's going to be much difference here, if any, heading into this week. But what we do in the process is we recap everything that happened in the past weekend. And as a lifelong Washington fan, oh, was this a weekend? Can I just start off a show with a couple tweets? I don't usually start off with tweets. Sure. I just want to give a couple from this morning. Plus underscore money. Can't believe I'm about to stomach this episode of a numbers game. Bobby Gettys, getting prepped for the most hyped episode of a numbers game since the mid-90s. Let's go. You remember that episode of the 90s, okay. Here we go. Let's start with a chronological order.

No, no.

2:01.2

No.

2:18.1

Okay. Now the Sunbelt Conference Championship guessing line show. No, no. We're not going to do that. It's kind of funny because some of these things Gil and I've just gotten used to, we don't even really fully discussed, but I was like, yeah, that one. I actually don't remember how far we take this. All right. NFC championship game.
