| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Halfway through the week, just a few days away from the divisional round in the NFL. |
| 0:09.4 | Larry Hartstein, R.J. White, Will Brinson, Claudia Velafato with you here on the Early Edge, |
| 0:14.0 | brought to you by BetMGM. Make it legendary. As usual, we're going to run through every single game. |
| 0:19.3 | We'll give you our best side. Total player prop. |
| 0:21.9 | We'll talk some futures at the end with a bit of a twist, though. |
