Good morning, everyone. The Simple Hennigap for Wednesday, December 8th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning. Please bear with the sniffles and the nasally sound and the throat that might cut out on me at any time feeling under the weather this morning. Got a mix of the coffee with a shot of buckley's on the

side so a lot going on this morning but that's what happens when you go to a gaming conference

there's only so many people's hands that you can shake before you ultimately pick up something and

it just every single time i go to one of those things, it just kills me.

And so when you're not at one of them for two years, and especially the last two years that

the entire world has, kind of sets you up for failure in many ways, I would say.

So dealing with it a little bit, but not going to stop the podcast as we push on NFL week 14.

The last week without Saturday football included means we're getting close to the holiday season as well. Thursday night

football kicks off with the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road at the Minnesota Vikings.

Thielen will not be on the field. It appears that his ankle injury is not going to be season ending.

So Zimmer said yesterday he expects to have him back at some point this season.

Looks like defensive names are going to be back on the field for Minnesota. The big question

mark still Dalvin Cook yesterday at practice was not participating, but was on the sidelines.

The open part of practice, which media was at, was saying that he had his helmet in his hand

and was not actively on the field. So if he plays, all signs point to him being much less than 100%. If he doesn't play,

they think this number is partially reflecting his absence may even go a little bit lower. The total

now down to 43.5 at Serga this morning, 43 flat at Pinnacle, 43 and a half at BOL, Draft Kings, Fandul,

Caesars, all of the apps across the states.

So we're looking at basically an expensive three or a 43, so both down from the openers of

45 and a half as well as three and a half shaded towards the four.

I have Pittsburgh in the bet thread at three and a half.

Still feel quite good about that wager. Las Vegas on the four. I have Pittsburgh in the bet thread at three and a half. Still feel quite good about that wager.
