What's up everybody?

Welcome into this Thursday preview edition of Pushing the Pile pile brought to you by Fingles

Sportsbook. Make every moment more. It's week nine, JP. We are already here. And after

I kind of harped on it last week, one of the worst weeks in NFL history in terms of

the product out there on the football field, I think we're in, at least I'm looking at

the matchups, you know, for this prepping board. I'm like, I think we're in for a little I'm looking at the matchups, you know, for this,

prepping for it.

I'm like, I think we're in for a little bit better slate this week. The bar is so low compared to what was put out last week. I think it's going to be a pretty fun week, but comparing it to whatever we got last week where there are like three teams that score 40 points, like every game was a blowout. I've let we play more close contests this week. Yeah, we at least have some better storylines heading into this week. We'll get to those in the second. But first, a little locks recap all season long. Heading up to the playoffs. Cash app is sponsoring our locks. We'll track how we're doing each episode with the winner being presented with the cash app locks trophy at the end of the season. It was another tough week for some of us.

I went four and two. JP, you go one and two. Kyle went one and one.

Creeping back towards 50%. I think this is the week. I have a bunch this week by the end. We'll get to those later, but I think this is the week I crack 50. JP, you need a big bounce back week. You got to start hammering. I see you only have three picks this week. You need to start being a volume shooter here. See, what I did early was I started volume shooting early and then none of the picks worked.

So now I'm like spooked off of going volume because I want to make sure we're efficient with our shots.

We're going to pick and choose and then try and finish the season strong.

See, you need to go, uh, Antoine Walker, Jamal Crawford, just like volume shooters.

I know my NBA references are dated, but that's where we need to live going forward here.

Let's start with Chiefs at Bills.

Chiefs, one and a half point favorites at the Bills, 52.5 points is the overrunner here.

But the bills, the last four times these teams have met in the

regular season they've come out victorious now the problem is as everyone knows last four times

they met in the playoffs the chiefs have come out victorious so something's going to give here

something is going to give and i feel like this game it's going to be of course about mahomes

versus josh allen but I feel like this game is

going to be won by the others on both sides of the ball. I circle, one of my biggest matchups
