This episode of Purple Insider is presented by Fandul.

A reminder about that Fandul question of the day, which was which one of these games do you think has the best chance to come down to the final play this weekend.

The Bills and Broncos, the line is shifted on Fanduil.

The Broncos are now one and a half point favorites.

The 49ers are seven and a half point under, or no, seven point underdogs to the Seattle Seahawks,

New England Patriots, three-point favorites in New England

against the use of the Texans, and the Rams are three and a half point favorites against the

But he got to play in one more playoff game and just didn't work out. But you're right. Yep, he didn't get a lot of touches here. And it was, it's just, it just wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, Mr. Mayor says, you know, he could have had the heroes send off. And, and that's right. Like, he didn't, he cared about trying to get to the playoffs and getting a bigger role down the stretch of his last few games. If you're going to go out, go out in a playoff game. but the hero sendoff would have been nice for everybody in Minnesota.
