And we got a couple today welcome to the around the NFL podcast not from the Chris Wessling podcast studio

But remotely across the South land. This is Dan hands this joint

And with heroes Mark Zessler Greg Rosenthal marking promise that you'd be back despite the COVID and you were a man of your word. Oh, what a warrior. Yeah, what a warrior. Um, yeah, I I got rid of that cough, which I thought would be unpleasant

Slash unrewarding to anyone listening. So that's mostly gone. So the rest of it. I mean, I feel like a piece of junk floating through space, but I can do

what's so mm space junk. We just have you on for your looks though, Mark. That's like you can just be on on mute and just be our our man candy. I see what you want.

So all right, I mean, listen, we are powering through like the NFL. I'm not feeling great right now. Greg completely indestructible. I mean, that guy is even human. We've been asking

that for years. And now we might have some proof. Um, but Mark and I are both here. Uh, the whole gang together and yes, week 17 is nearly in the books now.

And yet the regular season has one more week to go. But where we stand now things we have some clarity after Sunday, we're going to go through all the games as we always do, of course, but we have, let's see, we have six of the eight divisions decided. So congratulations to the bangles, Titans, chiefs, cowboys, Packers, bucks.

Um, the AFC East and the NFC West still to be determined. And then we have some playoff heat right now, in terms of the wild cards as well, which is a lot of fun.

We're going to get into all of it. And, um, and usually Greg, I like to have like a throw it to Rosenthal to give us. He was like the prototype for the car. Nekki Steve Karnaki and give us all the computations. But it's because that guy even know football. I mean, I have.

I have questions. He knows numbers. Um, but it's fairly straightforward. The Colts beat the Jaguars next week. They get a wild card spot.

Then you have the, uh, Raiders and Chargers playing next week and they better be in prime time. That's a, that's a win and in, uh, most likely, Arizona is going to make it in the wild card. And then you have Philly, New Orleans and San Francisco to those three teams are in and am I missing anything Greg?

No, it's, I believe one of the quieter week 18. Well, it's the only week 18. We were. It's one of the quietest. It's also the loudest week 18 as well. Right. It's, I think, uh, so much was decided on Sunday in such a manner that there's not as much drama going into the final week as there could be.

Uh, but that's fine. We'll still have a couple. We'll have a couple little things.

By its nature, wouldn't an extra week of football. Let's say it went 25 weeks. We'd get closer and closer to having no spicy final week scenarios. So, I think it's just random. It's just random because of the results today.

How it fell, but there's still some pretty good stuff. I'm, well, there you go. Greg, ever the company man. And Mark, I imagine, although disappointment. The Cleveland Browns eliminated from contention today.

I didn't sound like you were looking forward to a prime time game against the Steelers so much, especially in your week in state physically. Now all that it's all just watching it for fun. I guess.

Uh, yeah. Fun would be the keyword of tomorrow night's Brown Steelers game. But I, I would, I would just say that like one thing I've been saying all along is I want the teams that deserve to get in there to be there. Now there's a couple arguments for against some of the people still in contention.
