Hey, everybody. How are you? Thanks for being with myself and with Jim McCormick and with Dave Piper for this last episode of the Harris After Dark or whatever it's called of 2023.

Dave Piper has told me in my ear that he's great. Jim, how are you? I'm greater. Just

better than that. Yeah. Is that in general better than Dave Piper? Do we need to get on the

mic here, Dave? No. Just this week. Just right now. Well, last week wasn't so good. Last week,

somehow we were, it seemed like we were opposite on our

picks on every single one and yet somehow i went 500 and you went like two under 500 or whatever uh or

seven under i don't know what you want but it was not good and the thing to note i mean we view this

as a show that previews the week in nfl we try to talk about about the goofy things that have happened with the teams and actual football stuff.

But in the end, we do make picks.

And that's, you know, Draft Kings, thank you for sponsoring us.

And we do make picks.

And somehow after 16 weeks, Jim, 16 weeks of slaving over these picks and making sure we've done the best we possibly can.

We're both exactly at 500.

It's hundreds of games matching up to this one result.

And somehow half of your wins are Minnesota and New England,

and half of mine are emotionally hedging the Eagles.

So it works.

Well, all right, we're here to talk about week 17. And we'll get to them in a second. I mean, our best bets were good last week. I mean, admit it, Jim, last week when I told you my best bet was the Ravens covering in San Francisco. I saw your eyes go a little crooked. You didn't think that was that smart. It's not that it just was so different. My take, so I mean, I don't know if it was different. It just, it almost like, it shook me a little bit because I was like, wait, he's, he really believes this. It wasn't a, it wasn't a gut call. It was like, it was more that you You talked about the neutral field aspect, that, like, this team is not this much better, and that there is just...

It's also about the neutral field aspect that like this team is not this much better and that

that there is just it's also about the steam that you mentioned it's true like we also haven't

seen baltimore much on this big stage as good as they've been they're like one o'clock games in

baltimore like san francisco's been on our stage the whole year i got caught up in the steam i did
