| 0:06.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome into the athletic fantasy football podcast and also the athletic football show here for Friday, November 13th. Week 10 here in the football world, week 10 already underway after the Thursday night game between the Colts and the Titans. |
| 0:33.4 | And we are here to spin things on forward to the weekend. You know what we do here on Friday's DFS and gambling. |
| 0:39.4 | It all starts in the DFS world with me, Michael Bellar, and Derek Van Riper. |
| 0:44.4 | DVR, let's get ready for some fun action this weekend. |
| 0:46.9 | How you doing? |
| 0:48.1 | Doing really well, and the more I looked at the slate, the more I like it. |
| 0:51.8 | I thought the initial glance from a season-long perspective |
| 0:55.0 | was a little bit underwhelming, but from a DFS perspective, it is excellent. |
