0:00.0	What's up, everybody?
0:05.1	It is week 12 here on the early edge.
0:07.6	We're ready to break it all down with Larry R.J. Will.
0:10.7	I'm Claudia.
0:12.1	And the show is brought to you by Bet, MGM.
0:13.8	Make it legendary.
0:15.0	We've got four week 12 buys, Broncos, Chargers, Dolphins, commanders.
0:19.0	And we finally have our first playoff elimination scenario, no playoff clenching.
0:24.9	But the New York Giants can be eliminated with a Giants loss, a Dallas win, a Giants
0:29.5	loss, a Minnesota win, or a Giants loss in a Seattle win or a tie.
0:34.5	So yes, some of these games are due or die.
0:38.8	We're going to break it all down.
0:43.8	We'll start with Thursday night football. But first, just want to get a little vibe check for my guys.
0:46.0	Larry, how we feel and heading into week 12?

1:28.1	ago and the rest of them have been kind of slugs well how you feeling uh I mean the Rams won but didn't
1:33.8	cover um I think the Giants have been eliminated since like week one more than likely and um bringing
1:40.2	Jackson dart back very interesting if they do because I would bet ownership has a mandate that he doesn't run the ball,
1:47.8	which makes things kind of interesting.
1:48.8	But we'll get to that in a minute when we talk about the Lions.
1:51.9	Last thing about James is he threw a pick finally at the end of the game.
