Summary
Sunday kickoff approaches for NFL Week 16, and betting expert Chad Millman and professional sports gambler Simon Hunter deliver their final five against the spread contest bets for their SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/ as our audience competes for a fabulous grand prize trip to South Florida, courtesy of our sponsor Hard Rock Bet!
Our hosting duo looks at a thrilling matchup as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills face Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns. Later, our hosting duo looks at a less-than-thrilling matchup as Brady Cook leads the New York Jets to the Big Easy to face Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints. Plus, the Kansas City Chiefs struggle without Patrick Mahomes versus the Tennessee Titans. Simon and Chad bet on a game featuring Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots, as well a thrilling AFC showdown as Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars face Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos.
We hear their take on Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions matching up with Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucs looking for control of the NFC South against Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers. And of course the guys make a bet on Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts hosting Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.

| 0:26.9 | Chad, what a day yesterday was for both of us. |
| 0:30.9 | Dude. I'm gobsmacked. This isn't what happens to the bears. |
| 0:42.8 | We're the team that double doyks. We're the team that gets fourth and one from the two and snaps it over the head of our seventh round five foot |
