| 0:00.0 | What's everybody, everybody, welcome into this special Wednesday preview edition of the Week 13 NFL Slate. |
| 0:22.2 | This show is brought to by Fandu Sportsbook. |
| 0:24.7 | Make Every Moment More. |
| 0:26.4 | Mike Renner, JP Acosta here coming to you, not quite live. |
| 0:30.5 | I'm doing this little pre-record on a Wednesday, but we're going to do the whole |
| 0:33.6 | slate, the Thanksgiving game, the Friday game, the Sunday slate, and Monday night |
| 0:39.2 | football, obviously you could be listening to this any of the last, the next few days. |

| 1:28.3 | legit NFL quarterback prospect. So if you don't know, starting quarterback at North Texas. He leads |
| 1:32.9 | all a college football in yards per attempt. He has not started a game of football. So he started |
| 1:39.2 | last year in the bowling game, but has not been a starter since his freshman year of high school. |
| 1:44.9 | The guy is a marvel. |
| 1:46.9 | Now, his head coach, Eric Morris, just got the job at OK State. |
| 1:49.6 | Kind of a big controversy there because he's recruiting people at OK State, |
