Good morning, everybody, the Simple Handicap for Monday, August 26th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

The preseason is officially in the rearview mirror. We are looking forward to regular season week one.

Not officially there yet, although all betting focus is now shifted to week one.

Still a few more days to go, but we are getting awfully close to getting back to real football.

A couple updates before we get into the Minnesota Vikings preview. First of all,

there will be a NFL live stream. I'll have my biggest predictions for the year.

That will be Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. Pacific time. That is the usual Wednesday live stream

slot. If you want to watch it, you can head over to RAS Picks YouTube and it will go

live at 9 a.m. Pacific Time. So that'll be a fun one to kick off the season. The regular season

NFL service is also ready to go if you're interested in all of the releases for the regular

season. Everything now through the Super Bowl is available on site. First NFL week one release will be

tomorrow, Tuesday, August 27th. So depending when you are listening to this podcast, you may still

have time to get in before the first release. All the information is on site at raspix.com

slash NFL. Also want to remind everybody that the regular format of this show will resume next Monday morning.

It'll be the Sunday evening upload to get you ready for Monday morning, depending when you

listen to it.

We'll have the team previews with the NFC North coming out today on Monday, August 26th.

Then the NFC East will conclude the previews on the 27th and 28th this week.

So all the previews will be up on the podcast feed by Wednesday.

That will allow you extra time and a few extra days to go back and listen to any episodes you need to catch up on or ones you may have missed.

It's also a long weekend for most.

So you'll get a couple of extra days to potentially listen to that too. So lots going on. Week ones coming up very, very soon. I recommend everybody coming over to the live stream on Wednesday morning, checking out the service, and of course, catching up on any previews. Just check your feeds as the days go on whenever you're listening. You may have multiple episodes catching up. So just make sure you don't miss any as we go.
