I'm always up before the birds and the kids.

Good thing Costa Express is always up too.

Early starts are easier with great coffee.

And if I grab one for Bob, I might even get some decent company.

Large cappuccino for the bloke who's half asleep.

Oh, you legend.

Now that's a proper coffee.

Should kick in Justin Sanfut, remember which end of the screwdriver to use.

Hmm.

Costa Express.

Quality coffee every time.

Hello and welcome to the weekend edition of Inside the Huddle.

I'm your host, Neil Reynolds, joining me to look ahead to week 12 in the NFL, Mike Carlson of Channel 4.

Mike, sorry, I can't be with you tonight today.

Normally, we save these, do them from home jobs for when we're snowed in,

but I'm getting prepared to go off the sky for the Thanksgiving Day games.

Well, actually, I'm looking at the empty seat across from me, and it's been very interesting talking to it.

I've hardly noticed the difference.

You get a better response from that seat, probably.

So we're going to get into the big games.

Myself and Mike will offer our locks of the week, our upsets of the week.

But before then, we'll catch up on some news and notes from around the league. And Mike, more quarterback headlines in the AFC West. This time, Kyle Lawton is waived. And when I first saw that, I thought, oh, the bears are going to be racing to the podium. But, you know, I forgot that you have to put your waivers in. And maybe explain as we talk about how Kansas City claimed him how that waiver system works.
