And I was going to make a comment about saying podcast and I screwed up picks before I could make a comment about saying podcast, which is a different guy to show one of which Chris would be I'd be the star of that one. I'd be good.

Here it is, Chris Simpson button PFTPM joint mega picks podcast. I'm fighting through the COVID. The COVID got me up in three and a half years. Right. The over under was three and a half seeing and it hit right on three and a half.

If you came to my house on Saturday and smoked weed, you probably wouldn't have got it, but you chickened out and you didn't do it. Now you got it. You know, that's, that's what happens. Right. There's actually like a lot of research on that, but I do wish you would have smoked weed on with me. Right. So I'm sorry.

My wife watched PFT live today when I came downstairs with my mask on trying not to infect her, although I've already exposed her to it. She's just trying to be as careful as she can.

She said, it sure sounds like you got it in Chris's house on Saturday night. Listen to what he had to say. I think you got it from him on Saturday night.

I would say, you know, I'm sorry, but you're, yeah, I don't know what else to say. I'm not sure if I had COVID, but I had a lot of the same symptoms. Certainly. And yeah, you, you probably do have it because of me. It's weird though, because like I told you, nobody else in my family is having anything other than the sniffles. So, but I don't know. I'm sorry. Tell your wife. I'm sorry. I really am sorry for her. I don't really care about you that much.

Well, our big concern continues to be her parents because they had it a couple of years ago. My father and I had a rough time with a hospitalized twice. So we're going to make sure they're tested and tested. And if anything happens, we'll make sure that he gets all the proper care that he needs.

I'm told that the first two years, much more problematic than what the virus has become the last year and a half. Hopefully that's true. Hopefully that holds. There are still a lot of people who get hospitalized and die from it, but not like it was.

At first. So with that happy news, we get into, I might have gotten it from the duck that bit me. Maybe, maybe it's duck born. And your duck that bit me gave it to me. Maybe that's right. Yeah, we got it from the Wu, the Wu hang lab over there in China or something right there. I don't know where we got that duck from.

We got to watch, you know, I got to watch it. I don't know, but no, I don't think my ducks had it. They're out in the free air all the time. So don't worry about them.

All right, let's get to it. Last week fueled by the fact that the Rams lost to the Bengals or I would be up two games. We're now even against the spread.

The spread or no, God, I completely screwed that up. We're even straight up last week at 10 and six. I was going for 11 and five and you would have been nine and seven. That didn't work. And it would have extended my lead to three games straight up against the spread.

I beat you by two games. I don't pay as much attention to the spreads and how the spreads affect the outcome as we go through the week. I just look at the final scores. And I want to be right in the straight up picks best bets. You were two and one.

I was one and two that sucked so far. Narrow edge. Do I hold in two of the categories and we are even in best bets, which are not our best bets. They're not very good. Four and five, not good at all. That's where we are so far. And you can play along with us every week this season.

We begin with the most compelling Thursday night matchups as far as the season and possibly the best one of the year, the Lions at the Packers, the Lions are one and a half point favorites at Lambo field.

When in the hell have you ever seen that over under a 45.5 Chris, who do you like? Well, it's dicey like I've gone back and forth with this one.

You know, the biggest reason listen, I would probably favor the Lions for sure, but I'm worried about some of the offensive lion injuries we got with the Detroit Lions.

That that does like make me think differently. You know, again, you've heard me kind of wax poetically about this Packers D line. They're talented. They're young.

They got a little depth there. I mean, they've really done a good job. The last two drafts bolstering that crew there. So I worry about that from the Lions and that standpoint and the Packers showed an understanding last year of how to defend that Lions offense to a degree.
