 Hey, everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman, joined today by our own Gabe Marensi, who's here to break down week 17. Gabe, what's going on? Let's do this thing, Greg. I'm excited. I feel good, actually. You know what? Usually week 17 is a real circus, and it's a real pardon to pun, but a wild card, but I think I've got a pretty good grip on things this week. I hope you do. Let's start in the NFC East. The Eagles beat the Cowboys last week, and now control their own destiny in that NFC East. But you've been talking all week long about how you think the Giants are going to get them. You like them plus four and a half this weekend. Well, I'll tell you what, betting on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium isn't something that usually ends well. They've only won four times in the last two years, all right? So the last 15 games is the last game of the year. They've only won four times. They've only covered three times, actually. And here we are, liking the New York Giants. Now, listen, the Philadelphia Eagles have owned the Giants straight up, all right? They've won 10 of the last 11 times that they have played. But if you dig a little bit deeper into the points spread here, the New York Giants have actually covered the number against the Philadelphia Eagles. They've covered four of the last five times they played. They covered five of the last seven times that they played as well. Big win for the Philadelphia Eagles last week, guys, against the Dallas Cowboys. But was it just me or did they celebrate like they actually locked up the playoff spot? They haven't. And I'm not so sure they're going to get there. This game is going to be three and a half hours of stress for Philadelphia Eagle fans. Don't look now, man, but this New York Giants offense has really come alive, all right? Daniel Jones came back last week through five touchdown passes. He has 12 touchdown passes, just three interceptions. And his last four starts, the kid is good, all right? And the offensive line is starting to play better. Saquon Barkley is healthy. And we're seeing the Giants put up points with Eli under center. And they put up points with Daniel Jones under center. Something's interesting as well. I went to see the Eagles and the Giants play at MetLife Stadium last year. And I was on the Eagles and the Over and they both cashed. I'm going to be on the Over once again in this game. The last seven times that these two teams have played in New York slash New Jersey, it's gone over the number. And I don't think Sunday's going to be any different. This game's coming down to the wire, guys. I think the New York Giants could win this game. But the football gods seem to like Doug Peterson. And the Philadelphia Eagles just find a way, man. They're gritty. So it's hard to pull the trigger on the money line here. But I think this game's going to come down to the wire. And if the Philadelphia Eagles do win, it's going to be a really close game, all right? The Giants offense put up 77 points in the last two games. Philadelphia's offense put up 23 or more in three of their last four football games with last week's game against Dallas. Notwithstanding, this game's going over the number and the New York Giants are going to cover the number. Give me big blue and you'll be making it rain like blue face on the streets of New York. All right, give me the Giants and the points and he over in this football game. Pat Sherver and the Giants may have screwed themselves out of Chase Young last week. This week they'll try to screw Doug Peterson and the Eagles out of the playoffs. Giants and the Eagles go at it on Sunday. A couple of years ago, I did get them and said, hey, this team's doing well. They lost three in a row. They win this week. Well, they'll win three in a row to close it out. We'll see if they can cover and they go over as Gabe expects. Up next, the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers go out on Sunday night football. The winner has their opportunity to be the number one overall seed in the NFC. The loser, well, they're playing on the road either in Philly or in Dallas. Gabe, who do you like? Well, I'll tell you what. This game is as big as it gets and there's been a lot of bad prime time games over the years in the National Football League. This is not one of them. What's not at stake here? Like seriously, I don't know. Like, you know, number one seed overall for the San Francisco 49ers, a division title. Is it stake for the Seattle Seahawks? You know, we're talking about division titles, first round buys and everything else in between. And oh yeah, March on Lynch is back as well. Listen, if you only watch ESPN and mainstream media, you would think that the San Francisco 49ers are 15 and oh, and they're an invincible football team. And you would think that the Seattle team is four and 11, all right? And not the 11 and four football team that they are. Seattle really haven't gotten a lot of respect this year, but I tell you what, I respect the Seattle Seahawks. It would have been cash and tickets with them all year long. Here we have San Francisco as favorites. What happened when they played earlier in the year? Seattle beat them. Did you know that Russell Wilson has never lost in his career at home to the San Francisco 49ers? Seven and oh, you wanna talk about number 16 and two in prime time, Russell Wilson at home under the lights. And I'm getting points in this spot. San Francisco are a very good football team. And you know, this is gonna be a tough game for the Seattle Seahawks. March on Lynch comes back and you know, that's just the icing on the cake, man, all right? Yeah, March on Lynch, potentially running over Richard Sherman, who would ever imagine this that these guys are gonna be going head to head with a division title on the line. Shanahan has struggled within the division. It's the one, it's, you know, it's kryptonites, so to speak, Shanahan's a great young coach, taught in respect for Kyle Shanahan. And I tell you what, it's hard not to respect the San Francisco 49er football team. They're a freaking good football team, but I'm not getting in front of Seattle at home. I don't care who the running back is. Robert Turbin, March on Lynch, or Kurt Warner for that matter, all right? Give me the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson. And you know what, Greg? You know, New Year's is coming up right now. We're feeling a little edgy. Forget about the points. Give me that money line. The Seattle Seahawks, witness game outright. Plus 154 money line. You always say, Gabe, you don't wanna bet an underdog unless you feel like they can win it. You're betting on Seattle to do just that at home on Sunday Night Football in a game that, as you mentioned, is as big as against March on Lynch, potentially against Richard Sherman, the Seahawks, and the 49ers, a huge, huge battle in the NFC West on Sunday Night Football, whether it's March on Lynch, Robert Turbin, Travis Homer, or your boy, Kurt Warner. We'll see what happens on Sunday night. Taste the rainbow. Get your skittles out and take the Seahawks. Dan Quinn, Thomas Demetrov. I'll be back for the Atlanta Falcons next year as Arthur Blank made that announcement on Friday. The Falcons in the box, they wrap up their season on Sunday, and what should be a high-scoring affair for these two teams? James Winston's gonna throw over three touchdowns. He's gonna throw over three interceptions. We'll see if the Falcons play for Dan Quinn as they're excited that he's back. What do you like about this game? Well, you'd almost just laid it out right there. When you look at his football game, listen, I was thinking about taking a tap-a-bay Buccaneers. We were on the Bucs last week, and we ended up getting the push of what it was all said and done. I was thinking about the Bucs this week, but then I realized, why? Why overthink this? It's hard to run to the window to take the Atlanta Falcons, even though they're playing good football right now, and they're riding a three-game win streak. I don't trust them in this spot. It's hard to trust the tap-a-bay Buccaneers in this spot, although without being stated, I think both teams are going to air it out. You look at the tap-a-bay Buccaneer offense, and you just spelled it out, right? We know that James Winston's gonna throw for 300-plus yards, probably 350-plus. We know that he's gonna throw for two, three, maybe four touchdowns and maybe two, three interceptions as well. That's why 11 of the Buccaneers, 15 games, have gone over the number so far this year. You look at Atlanta's numbers as well. Atlanta's starting to come together a little bit. They put up 57 points the first time that they played. These two teams have gone six and one to the over the last seven times they played. It's gonna be a theme of ours this week. A lot of people will look at games and say, while it's a meaningless game, I want to stay away from it. Maybe when it comes to a side, but when it comes to the actual tempo and the total, I look at it a little bit differently. You look at tap-a-bay, man. Are the tap-a-bay Buccaneers, are they gonna be a punting when it's fourth and two from midfield? No. Are the Atlanta Falcons gonna be punting? No. Neither team is in tank mode. Both teams are gonna be airing it out. Both teams are gonna want to put numbers up. Tampa's gonna want to entertain their fans on the way out. James Winston's trying to break records and get to 5,000 yards and all this type of stuff. I think sometimes, Greg, it's gotta keep it simple. Let's go over 48 with this football game. Yeah, it's really easy when it looks like this, right? Just don't do the hard thing. It's going over. These two teams are scoring points. The defenses aren't good enough. You gotta like the box of the Falcons to go over their number of 48 this weekend. Up next, another game that should go over. It's a battle of Ohio, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The end of the Andy Dalton era potentially in Cincinnati. How are you not betting on Andy Dalton this weekend? Well, I'll tell you what, I know, I know. People tuning in right now are thinking to themselves, Cincinnati and Cleveland, really? This is one of the games you're giving us. Betting on this game is probably as exciting as going to Cincinnati or Cleveland actually is. But as Drew Carey stated, Cleveland rocks. Well, not so much on the football field, but Cleveland's actually a pretty cool city. If you've actually been there before, they actually do rock. That's why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is there. This is another game, guys, where neither team is playing for absolutely anything at all. All right, specifically the Cincinnati Bengals. I like the spot, the Bengals are in here as far as putting points up on the board. We've seen since my main man, the Red Rocket, has come back, Greg, 3-0 to the over. High scoring games with Andy Dalton. Good thing about Andy Dalton is he's either gonna throw a touchdown pass, pick six, or he's gonna fumble the ball. Either way, it's a net positive if you're betting the over of a football game. But the Cincinnati Bengals, and I talked a lot about this this year about how teams don't tank. People at Miami Dolphins are tanking, so therefore I'll bet against them. It's one of the dumbest things I've heard and one of the worst handicaps that I've heard that anybody that thinks that players on the field are trying to lose the game. The organization might be trying to tank. That's why they put bad players on the field. But those bad players are still gonna try as hard as possible. They're trying to keep their jobs in the National Football League, and they're not trying to tank so the team can draft a kid that replaces them, right? It's just common sense. But with all that being stated, last week, the Cincinnati Bengals screwed around early in that game. The Bengals knew that if they lost last week to the Miami Dolphins, they'd be guaranteed the top pick in the National Football League draft, the upcoming draft, i.e., and get Joe Burrow, who happens to be from Ohio. And the Bengals did a lot of weird things early in the game. They punted the ball, they ran the ball. They came back late, cosmetically, but this week it's a little bit different. They're already locked into the top spot right now, all right? Cincinnati Bengalfans have been pretty much tortured over the last couple of years. It's the season finale. It's a in-state rival. They don't like the Cleveland Browns. I expect them to open up the playbook and have some fun in this football game. And even though the Cleveland Browns are a train wreck, they can still put points up on the board, Greg. The total's too low in this game. I like the overall a lot. They played just a couple of weeks ago, three weeks ago, and they got to 47 points. We don't need to get to 47. We can get there again with 46. I think we get there. I think the total's a little too low here. Let's go over the number of Cleveland and Cincinnati. I also think this number goes over, cos you're right. Both teams have nothing to play for. They're going to go over the offenses and they're going to go for these fourth downs wherever they are with Cincinnati and Zach Taylor. They can entertain, Greg. It's about entertaining, emptying the playbook. Coaches let the players get any bonuses and catches and stuff like that. Like really, if you're a 1-in-14 team, you're really going to be punting the ball. You're going to be playing it close to the vest. They already got that seed locked up, too. I think this game is a sneaky, high-scoring game. Freddy Kitchen is trying to survive. The Bengals are trying to have fun. It's a number that's simply too low at 43.5. So get in there now before it rises. One last game to get to is the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals battle in the NFC West. Now, Shawn McVeigh has come out and said, I got to make sure our players are healthy. And Todd Gurley and Jerry Goff and the wide receivers. Tyler Murray, same thing on the other side. And yet, Gabe, you like going over the number here. How come? This is a game, actually, Greg. Out of all the games, this is the one that you're going to have to keep your eye on the most as far as injuries are concerned. It's tough. We do these videos a couple of days before kickoff. And there's only so much I can do. If Tyler Murray plays in this football game and Jared Goff plays in this football game, I think there's going to be points. We've talked a lot this week about this team, about teams that aren't playing for anything at this time of the year in which they can air it out. And to hear Shawn McVeigh talk about how he's not sure who's going to play moving forward because they've got to get healthy. Coach, you are aware, right? There's not another week coming up. There's not another couple of weeks coming up. And hopefully this offseason, you spend less time with your hot girl on Instagram and you spend more time figuring out some new plays because the league figured out your playbook. You can criticize Jared Goff all you want. Teams knew what the Rams are going to be doing this year. And it was a problem in the same way McVeigh couldn't adjust in the Super Bowl. He's had a hard time adjusting this year as well. Jared Goff isn't perfect, Greg, but if there's one team that he does play well against and I can't believe that any player on the Rams doesn't want to play and put numbers up. We're talking about bonuses and contracts. We're talking about stats. Yeah, I think the Rams knew they weren't going to the playoffs and how sick are they after watching the Vikings lose right now. But with all this being stated and hang with me here, all right, because I got something weird with the number 65, Greg, but Jared Goff has always played well against Arizona through 424 yards earlier in the year. The last three games that he's played, he's got like a quarterback rating of 120 or more. You want to talk about offense too. Arizona started to figure things out a little bit. It was interesting. Arizona were losing games earlier in the year, but covering spreads. Then they just started to lose games and they weren't covering spreads and things weren't going well for them. Now on the way out, they're actually winning games outright. And I think Arizona is going to be a good team in a year or two. Colin Murray definitely proved that he can play international football league. Now he's banged up. Is he going to play? I think he is, even though I wouldn't play him, but I think he is. You look at the Cardinals offense, put up 65 points in the last two games. All right, the Rams last two games have both sailed over the number as well. Both games, Greg, finished with 65 points. Got a bizarre here. So the last two games landed exact on 65 points with the Rams. The Cardinals offense has put up 65 points. All right? So I don't need 65 points here, guys, to get the over here. This game is obviously very, very contingent on who plays, but I'm not expecting the sky to fall. I think the Rams will play. I think McVeigh might rest. Jaylen Rams, he's not going to play. All right, good. Who cares? You know what, it actually helps the over anyways. Well, is Arizona going to want to win this football game? They don't like the Rams and the Rams have beat them up over the years. So I think Arizona comes to play here. And I expect the Rams to put on a show, actually, for their fans in the final NFL football game, although we've heard that before. Give me the over in this game, Greg. I agree. Arizona wants to win this game. They're going to build for the future, right? And Arizona with Kyler Murray, that's why they're going to play. That's why Cliff Kingsbury is also going to open up the playbook here. And I have to say, if McVeigh does rest, Jared Goff, and you bring in Blake Fordles, Capitol Blake, we've seen what he can do offensively. Quarterback controversy brewing for 2020 in LA. I think you have to like the over between the Rams and the Cardinals. That's going to do it for us here in the Fan. A little hurry up game. It's been a fantastic season. I look forward to continuing in the playoffs. Let's keep it rolling. And may the winners be yours. Again, I'm Greg Selsman. I joined the games this weekend. We'll be back next week and talk NFL playoffs. Have a good year, everybody.
