| 0:00.0 | I think that feels like a nice package there. |
| 0:03.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:24.6 | Wow. Look at those phones light up. It's Selger and Mad. I'm not at the Sports Hub. Big Boy Tuesday. Brought you by Best Ford in Nashville. Looking for great deals on a new Ford. Go to the best first. Best Ford in Nashville. On the web at the best ford.com. Dean and Shrewsbury. Hi, Dean. Hey, you guys got to learn how to separate the bad nerds from the good nerds. |
| 0:31.4 | Nate Silver has the Patriots, as having the best record in the NFL at the end of the season. |
| 0:34.3 | So it's not all the nerds that are against them. |

| 1:44.9 | Where do we stand with that, Maz? |

| 1:47.6 | Patriots are eighth in passing differential. |
| 1:49.4 | That's pretty good. |
