What's going on, guys? Great to be back on with you here. Happy Friday. Yeah, we missed you last week. I think it was busy or meeting or something like that. We missed you.

I had a, it was my mom, 66, it's actually her birthday in a couple days. Sixty-six birthday, happy birthday to my mom. We took my daughter into Manhattan. We saw the Rockettes, which was, you know, it was a little concerned how that was going to go because she's young. And she did great. And every time Santa came out, she just screamed Santa, Santa, Santa, over and over again to the point that people were turning around and looking at us.

But otherwise, it was great. Breakfast was Santa the next day. So nice family weekends for my

mom's birthday. So thank you for that. Yes. All right. Well, we got a big one here at Gillette

this weekend. I'm kind of struggling with who I think's going to win the game.

I actually think the Patriots are more likely to win than the bills.

And the bills are favored.

And just to put things in context, right, because the Patriots and the Broncos, right,

are the two teams that are most likely right now to have the one seat in home field advantage

in the AFC playoffs.

And is it an interesting that both those teams are home dogs this weekend, right? Because the betting market doesn't

necessarily believe in them yet, right? Green Bay favored in Denver. We've seen Green Bay get to the

playoffs with Jordan Love and certainly Buffalo with Josh Allen. I think the bill's defense is bad.

And I think New England's definitely going to be able to score points in this game. And if you made me pick a winner, I would take the Patriots. But I think my preferred bet in this game is going to be the over, where the Patriots defense from what it was when these two teams first played, right? Whether it's, you know, injury with Milton Williams is on injured reserve right now. Keon White's not on the team anymore. I don't know if they're going to be able to stop the run the same way that they did in that game on that Sunday night in Buffalo. And if Buffalo is going to be able to run the ball a little bit better, it's going to open up their entire offense because we know Buffalo can't do like, you know, Josh Allen and the

shotgun, four wide receivers throw it 40 times a game because their receivers aren't good.

Like they want to line up in multiple tight end sets. They want to run the ball down your throat.

They want to play action and get it to Kincaid and Dawson Knox. And I think they're going to be

able to do that in this game. So I think Buffalo is going to be able to score as well. So over 49 and a half is my preferred bet in the game. Make me pick the winner of the game, I would take the Patriots. I think Buffalo's defense is the worst unit on the field of the four, and I think Drake may can certainly carve them up. So I think the Patriots will win. I'll have a bet on over 49 and a half.

Costos, happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours at this most joyous time of year.

You too, buddy.
