He's going to have a lot on Mendoza. And then we're going to do a ton on crossroads teams in the NFL, him handicapping the AFC, including the one team. He hears from most teams in the NFL who they don't want to play on the AFC side of the bracket. We've got a little recap of the holiday and life advice. The stage is set. The college football playoffs are here. Every snap, every drive, every touchdown. Draft King Sportsbook, the number one sportsbook for live betting puts you right at the center of the action. As I'll say in my open, I don't know how anyone's going to pick against Indiana. Now, you want to take the points. Go ahead. The rematch, Oregon's already played them. Maybe you're going with that part of it. But if you've watched all of this stuff, and look, this is the fun part of it. It's like, hey, maybe I'll just pick an upset. So I don't know if I'll work myself there in the next week or so. But after getting done with those first four games, you're like, why would anyone actually want to pick anyone against Indiana from what we saw in the open? From real-time wagers to season-ending thrillers, Draft Kings keeps you in the game from kickoff to the final whistle. New customers bet just $5. And if your bet wins, you'll get $200 in bonus bets instantly. Download the draft king sportsbook app. Use the code Ryan, R-Y-E-N.
