Good morning everybody. The simple handicap for Friday, December 22nd. Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

Before we get into the final market rundown for NFL week number 16, I just want to wish everybody a very happy holiday and Christmas weekend upcoming.

I know a lot of people listening will be spending the majority of the next few days with family, friends, food,

and of course football is we have quite the schedule through the weekend.

I just want to say that I appreciate each and every one of you taking time out of your morning

to jump on the podcast feed to listen to the episodes and hopefully not only today but over the course of the season I have

given you something that you can take away from each show and use it either to make a bet or form an opinion

or put against an opinion you might have on another bet or maybe

it's just a talking point that you put into a group chat with friends.

But to be able to do this each and every morning and to have the response and the audience and the conversation

through direct messages and on Twitter and on the YouTube live stream from all of

you that listen each day is pretty special and I never take that for granted so I hope that

I'm holding up my end of the bargain and giving you something that can be

useful each morning because certainly you guys coming back each morning is

something that I'm quite proud of too. So all that said

enjoy the weekend ahead and let's get to it for the last time here on NFL week
