It's you better. You bet with Ken Barkley and Nick Ashu on Bet you. Well, thanks Chris

Miles joined us last segment. He's Ken Barkley, Nick Ashu in for Nick Costos, as we head

into week 18 of the NFL season. It's, uh, it's more and more, I'm not, I don't know if

I'll get used to it. It might take me at least the years. So maybe by this time next season,

I'll get used to saying week 18 because that's, that's become the new cliche Ken right.
