Now, back to You Better You Bet with Nick Costos and the crew, presented by BetMGM on Westwood One Sports.

Betts for tonight will close the show in a little bit, and I'll reiterate my bets for the college football playoff quarter finals.

The crew will join me momentarily, our favorite sports stories of 2025, supported by sound because, you know, still an audio medium.

But just want to circle back to what we talked about at the start of the show.

The Rams Monday Night Football lost to the Falcons in Atlanta.

Matthew Stafford lost MVP to Drake May in that game, provided the Patriots take care of

business this weekend, which I think they will against the Miami Dolphins.

Drake made a huge favor now for NFL MVP.

Matthew Stafford had every opportunity to get it done, including a throw to Xavier Smith on the final

drive that would have won the game for the Rams if Stafford put the ball on the money.

Smith was wide open.

So a costly loss for the Rams, They may have to go on the road

to Philadelphia on Wild Card weekend, which is a nightmare scenario for Eagles fans, Rams fans,

betterers of either team. And Matthew Stafford probably, I'll say like close to definitely,

cost himself most valuable player last night with a dud in prime time in week 17.

I still think the Rams and the Eagles are the two best teams in the conference,

but they're probably going to play on wild card weekends if the betting market holds

and the Bears win as a favorite against the Lions and the Eagles beat the commanders

and the Niners beat the Seahawks.

That's what's favored to happen, per the betting markets.

We will get Eagles Rams on Wild Card weekends, which makes me, as an Eagles better, very, very nervous.

And if you're a Rams better or a Rams fan, you should be very, very nervous.
