0:00.0	Week 14, here we go.
0:12.4	Larry Hartstein, Will Brinson, R.J. Wade, Claudia Balaffato, with you here on the early
0:16.7	ed, brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. Last week of buys, fellas, Panthers,
0:22.4	pads, Giants, Niners off, and then nobody's off. We got a full slate the rest of the way.
0:28.7	Larry Hart's seen how we feeling? Well, I didn't think I'd have the nicest background of anyone
0:33.4	coming into this show. So that's an upset. I'm pumped for Thursday night football. This might be the best Thursday night game we've had all season. We're being held hostage over here, R.J. White. We are in Florida, though. We're at the CBS Studios. Good Thursday night football matchup. We're going to get into now. RJ, how you doing? Had it into week 14. Doing good. I took some risks on some dogs last a week thinking that, you know,
0:55.6	it's week 13. It's Thanksgiving. People probably haven't given up on the season yet. We saw some

1:17.5	Will Branson, ready for week 14?
1:20.0	I'm just excited to see what new joy, the Carolina Panthers and what pain the Carolina
1:24.8	Panthers will bring us as sports betters because I don't understand how you can beat the Packers, lose to the Saints, get blown out by the 49ers in prime time, and then just beat the Rams.
1:36.4	Like, this team is the wildest roller coaster and perfectly emblematic of the NFL in, in 2025.
1:44.4	By the way, why didn't we preseason parlay the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots to be the one-seeds in their respective conferences?
1:52.7	I mean, who didn't see that coming?
1:54.0	What a season?
1:56.7	Yeah, we really should have known.
