Good morning, everybody, the simple handicap for Friday, December 29th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning. Hopefully your Friday is off to a fantastic start. If you are back and working this week, or at least the last couple days, hopefully your final workday of the week and final workday of 2003 is off to a fantastic start as well. Before we get into the final market rundown for NFL week 17,

I want to update everybody on the schedule here for this show going forward.

Next week will be the final week of NFL 2023, 24 with daily podcasts.

I'll do the usual opening odds podcast,

which will hopefully be recorded Sunday evening.

Week 18 never has look-ah headlines.

There's no established market.

All the games for Week 17 conclude on Sunday.

There is no Thursday night game next week.

There is no Monday night game either next week.

So we'll see what the market does. With it being a holiday 31st and first, we saw the delay

with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. If it's very limited availability Sunday evening,

I will post the initial reactions podcast later sometime on Monday. We'll play that one by ear.

There'll be usual daily podcast Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday will be the final

daily podcast of NFL this season. And then for the playoffs, I will do an initial reaction

podcast the first day that all the lines are up each round, and then I'll follow

it up with a Friday podcast following up everything. The final show of the season will be

the initial reactions to the Super Bowl opening odds after the conference championships,

that conference championship Sunday later in January.

So next week, you'll have the full usual schedule of daily pods.

Then it is Monday initial reactions or Sunday night, depending when you listen and a Friday pod two per week for the three rounds of the playoffs.

And then things will be wrapped up here for the season on the simple handicap podcast.
