Good morning, everyone.

The Simple Handicap for Friday, December 31st.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

Happy New Year's Eve to everybody out there.

Hopefully, many of you were able to get the day off.

You get the college football playoff a little bit later today.

Enjoy the night with friends and family.

Hopefully it's a very fun time,

and you're in decent shape to enjoy the bowl games on January 1st.

Always a nice little entertainment source to have on the couch,

to say the least, for that day after,

which tends to bite people a little bit does New Year's Eve.

Before we get into some of the look-ahead numbers that stand out for NFL week 18,

one final market rundown for NFL week 17.

Not a whole lot to talk about, but with injury reports coming out yesterday,

we're getting the Thursday practice numbers.

It was able to make a couple more bets, and I'll touch on those as I go, but they were up in the bet thread yesterday for those of you to follow.

I mentioned it in line with the games.

Here we go.

Las Vegas on the road at the Indianapolis Colts, as expected yesterday.

This is now back to seven.

Still no official word on Carson Wentz yet.
