Hello, hello, I'm Matt Williamson. This is the Locked-on NFL podcast. How is everyone doing this fine evening afternoon, you know, wherever you're listening?

For those of you don't know, we've had a lot of new listeners. I guess I should tell you a little bit about my background. We haven't done that before, but just real quickly, I know a lot of you know who I am going back to my long podcasting history.

I'm a freelance writer now for the last two years.

Before that, only NFL, it's the only thing I do.

And before that, I was at ESPN for 10 seasons as a feature writer, NFL only, obviously.

Before that, I was a scout with the Browns.

Before that, I was a director of football operations at the University of Akron.

Before that, I did three years at the University of Pittsburgh as the recruiting assistant.

So, I am glad you've joined us.

All you knew guys that didn't know my history, just wanted to let you know that.

And pretty much all I do and know anything about in this world is football.

And I love it.

So can't beat that.

Welcome to the Locked On podcast.

Today is Friday.

That means we are picking every game.

And we're going to our friends at my bookie and pulling up the lines there.

And it looks like the first one does not have a line so we won't bet against the line on that one but we will pick a winner the lions are at the bucks and i guess there is some question if stafford is playing or not this as i've said many timesucks defense is, I'm going to operate on the assumption

Stafford's playing in terms of picking games.

Both these defenses are bad, though.

I mean, I thought the Lions defense last week against the Ravens, you know, for those

who don't know also, I do a lot of work with Steelers Nation Radio, and the Ravens are coming to town this week.
