| 0:51.2 | Joining me for this week's edition of In the Pocket. |
| 0:53.9 | It's a long time NFL quarterback, Chase. |
| 0:55.8 | Daniel. |
| 0:56.1 | Chase, how you doing, man? Good, good. Just, man, I can't believe it's week 14 already. It's like, I know we've talked about it even in week 10. We're like, how's week 10? But like, I mean, we're getting down to the end of the season, man. It's crazy. it's a different feeling when you're not playing than when you're covering because it just flies by a little bit more.

| 2:23.1 | would be the betting favorites for MVP on December 6th. |
| 2:26.0 | I had a lot of questions. |
| 2:27.9 | Each of them right now are plus 300 on bet MGM. |
