Good morning everybody, the simple handicap for Tuesday, January 2nd.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

The fourth to last daily podcast episode of the 2023 football season. season and reminder daily shows will end on

Friday morning with the final market rundown and they will then move to the

playoff scheduling which will have the initial reaction show following the game's conclusion on

Sunday when we have the playoff match-ups and all of the numbers hitting the board

then after each round the playoffs will do the initial reaction opening lines report.

We'll have the YouTube show in the middle of each week the rest of the way.

And then we'll have a summary at the end either on Friday or Saturday morning getting you ready for all of the

playoff games going forward. So the days are numbered here on the

podcast. Appreciate everybody for tuning in and hopefully you're having a great start to your

2024. Let's get to it. Lots to talk about in week 18. Starts off with the Saturday games that we now know with the

Steelers on the road at the Baltimore Ravens

Saturday afternoon.

It is currently the Steelers four point favorites across the board with a total at 37.

Total is down from 39.

A half. Point spread has obviously moved a ton.

All indications are that the Baltimore Ravens will be wrestling starters,

hence the significant movement on the Pittsburgh Steelers who are out to four.

And as we talked about in the podcast yesterday, we're starting to see a lot of these must-win

situations, so to speak, be priced in if not fully, potentially more so into the market.

Where this becomes interesting is you're starting to think about how the Ravens play this.
