 back to up and Adam is there looking at the division all round playoff picture like the whole playoff picture so let's do it matchups could potentially look a little bit crazy got some spicy ones bangles versus chargers what Matthew Hamilton is here Tom Kern didn't even mention the hat he just thinks this is like something I would normally wear apparently yeah I'm surprised he usually comes with a strong hat game so I was a little disappointed in him for that yeah he's got like the Newsy cap and you know I'm Arman's yeah I'm just trying to make you laugh all right let's do this we've been a lot going on here so New Year's Eve style we've got countdown to the playoffs taking a look at who is in the running for a playoff spot last show of the year let's go NFC style these are your NFC teams in the playoff picture countdown Eagles Vikings Niners Cowboys they clinched a spot they can ride to 2023 without a worry but for the rest of them don't let all the work you did in 22 good ways people let's keep at it and start the new year strong just like these teams will first up the ones these ones are shooting for the stars right and they don't miss by the way teams like these are the guys who show up you know dressed to the nines black tie to a normal New Year's party they're trying they're the ones really starting to get on the right foot they're making toast they're telling everybody you know how they adopted a chimpanzee and some rogue forest you've never heard of that they're going to be supporting for the next 365 days you know who I'm talking about these are the role models they're your NFC division leaders the Eagles Vikings Niners buccaneers then wild car teams that you're looking at right now the Cowboys the Giants and the Commanders these are the guys who desperately want to stick to their resolutions they made a positive change they need that extra oomph to carry their good work into 2023 though the Giants by the way can clinch a playoff spot this weekend with the win over the Colts and so hammer with the playoff picture the Packers looked really down and out a few weeks ago the door left open just a crack and they can sneak in somehow how can they join the party and do you think they can yes so they can get in if they went out and either have the commanders lose one game or the Giants lose both of their games so there's a real possibility that they can make this happen and I think we've seen them turn it around we've seen the chemistry between Rodgers and his weapons come a long way I think he's also just healthier we talked about it a few months ago I think that thumb was really bothering him and affecting him more than he went on but this defense has been a huge part of the turnaround as well when you look at what they've done over the last four weeks they've been a top 10 defense and you know Joe Barry caught a lot of heat during that time but Matt the floor stood by him was really steadfast he never wavered that Joe Barry was the guy to lead this defense and he stepped it up and turned it around so as for whether or not they are going to do it I do think they beat Minnesota this weekend and it's going to come down to the Lions week 18 and I think that the Lions are going to be the ones that end up getting I love what we've seen from the Packers over the last month I think it's a sign of good things to come in 2023 but I just don't think this is their year. Okay I got a pool boy here who was really excited about that first thing you said and now he's jumped into the pool and no sight to be seen with that other part Lions taking down the Packers to eliminate them from the playoff contention not wow wow but it's so fun I mean I'm rooting for Viking fans this weekend but nothing cooler than taking down the Packers on their own can you imagine how much fun that would be for on a tortured fan base like the Vikings. Yeah they've been waiting for this. So yeah what you got. So the other team that we're looking at that's been you know kind of on that bubble the commanders I know we talked about a little bit yesterday with with Wenz taking over the starting job. What's the path for them and do you see them making it happen. Okay the path for them is if they win out there in so it's all in their control. They got the browns this week. I do think they beat them and then here's where it gets interesting and I mean Hamilton you're sweet to ask me how to do it but you broke this down for me. If the Eagles beat the Saints this week they will have clinched the NFC East in the one scene the NFC obviously and that means Washington's week 18 opponent the Cowboys has they've got nothing to live for nothing again here in this game. So they're locked in the 5 C either way. So the Cowboys sit down and the Cowboys sit other key players which they would be smart to do. Do you tell me Washington can't win there. They got a playoff spot waiting for them for the taking it is gift-wrapped for them to do so the more thought about it hammy in these past 24 hours the more excited I am to see Carson Wenz sort of get this opportunity. This is probably it. I don't know if you'd agree with that but it's his last chance to show something to earn some respect some interest from around the league and show people he wasn't the problem with other places he was and I kind of hope he takes it and runs it. Do you think he gets it done. Yeah. For sure. For sure. That would be the Saints Eagles will beat the Saints and the Cowboys will rest everyone. Yeah I think that's a likely scenario and it would be fun to see you know it was it was kind of it was rough how how he was kind of pushed out of Indian and had all that blame heaped on him. So it'd be a heck of a story to see Wenz get this done and get washed into the playoffs after everything after the way everything transpired over the last over the last calendar year. Tell me if I'm wrong. Chase Young Clay he was out there but he played on less than 60 percent of snaps right. Yeah. So he's still working back up to full strength. So you know he's going to be more and more of a factor with each passing week now for sure. Look at they got to beat the Browns and they got to win against a Cowboys team that has nothing to play for probably if the I mean Eagles do your job do your job in this situation for your fellow NFC East brethren. All right we've got Eric Weddle on the show he's probably like why are you wearing. Why are you wearing this hat. What is happening. I'm dressing like our mom. OK what is going on. Where are we. Now we're in the gym. I'm in Cabo. He's in the gym. I don't know what's going on. We'll be back right here with a great list. Look at that smile. That doesn't look very gritty to me.
