| 0:19.9 | Get a quote today. |
| 0:21.3 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. Today's Thursday, December 9th. I'm Robert Mays. Fun show for you guys today. Bo Wolf, one of our Eagles writers from the Athletic is going to be joining us a little bit later for this week's team visit. Before we do that, though, I'm very excited to welcome. My good friend, Lindsay Jones, Lindsay, how you doing? |
| 0:42.9 | I'm great. How are you, Robert? I am doing great. We got a fun show on tap today. A lot of interesting stuff going on. It's very weird that there are week 14 buys. That's just something that I'm not |
| 0:48.3 | ready for. It's thrown a wrench into the fantasy football season. I planned the show in a terrible way. Not having thought about the fact that there were week 14 buys, we're talking about a bunch of teams that are on buy. I'm going to blame it on this schedule is what I'm going to do. I'm just going to throw it all on whoever decided that we should have an 18th game and buys in December. Yeah, it's a super weird week. |
| 1:10.9 | But there are some fun games this week, and we're going to get into a couple of things |
| 1:14.7 | that we're really excited about. |
| 1:15.7 | So first, though, let's get depressing, right? |
| 1:21.0 | Let's bring it down. |
| 1:23.1 | Well, here's the thing, all right? |
| 1:25.6 | Show I do with Sando yesterday. |
| 1:27.0 | We talked about how many teams are still in the hunt, how tight the league is. We've spent so much time, and we have a whole segment about teams that are still in the playoff race in ways that we never would have expected. We spent so much time and energy talking about the teams that are somehow still in it. Let's talk about the teams that aren't. |
| 1:48.0 | Because at this time of year, I feel like we forget about the teams of the bottom of the standings. |
| 1:50.2 | I am as guilty of that as anybody. |
| 1:54.0 | But I wanted to revisit where some of those teams are. |
| 2:00.5 | So if you look at, I think there are only seven teams in the NFL that have four or fewer wins. I know that's kind of a weird cutoff, |
| 2:01.8 | but that's about where the 10% playoff chance cuts off too. So if you look at that group, |
| 2:07.1 | four or fewer wins, less than a 10% chance to make the playoffs. Here are the teams that you're |
| 2:10.9 | left with. Lions, Jags, Texans, Bears, Jets, Gi giants, seahawks. |
