 Welcome to the Fandall hurry up. I'm Ariel Epstein joining us today. Number fire in Fandall's Jim Zahn is to talk teams that are going to make the playoffs in the NFL. Thanks for joining us Jim. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. It's exciting to be positive here. We're talking about the good side of the NFL talking about teams that will make the playoffs positive This week potentially circling back with the downsides next week in teams that'll miss the playoff. I like you're giving us some positive energy first. Let's start with the Dallas Cowboys who are minus one fifty six to make the playoffs. The Cowboys went six and ten last year. They lost their starting quarterback Dak Prescott to an ankle injury week five. How come you believe that the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs this year. It kind of goes what you said where I do think that the injuries getting the guys are getting back not just Dak but also the offensive line the entire offensive line effectively that's going to bode well for them. They are plus one ten to win the division. I think that's also a pretty good number. So if you want the plus juice go there but this number does give you some leeway in case we see a team like Washington leap up make a good run across this new year with Ryan Fitzpatrick. But right now my wind total projections have Dallas at ten point one. Nobody else in the NFC is at eight point zero. So it's a pretty healthy cushion. So getting Dallas at minus one fifty six just to make the playoffs in general to me is a really good number. We're they're going to get some competition at West because there are a lot of teams there pushing for the playoffs. But at minus one fifty six that the Cowboys here given the health of their offense given how good Dak Prescott is and given how many points are likely to score. I'd expect this to be a very advantageous number that I want to get now before we realize how good that offense is when helping taking advantage of some closing line value. Also the Cowboys best odds in the NFC East at plus one ten to win the division. Another team you feel is going to make the playoffs. The Los Angeles chargers. This one's in plus money plus one twenty six. Why is Justin Herbert the quarterback of the Chargers going to be more successful in year two because the team around him is better this year specifically around the along the offensive line. They've made a lot of big improvements there which can help Justin Herbert help unlock this offense in their first year without Anthony Lynn. I think that Herbert with the new offensive line should look pretty good. But also a lot of toys on defense or Brandon Stanley to play with. I think that's enticing here. I do think this is the best market for the Chargers because I can't stomach betting them to be Patrick Mahomes in the division. But at plus one twenty six to make the playoffs. I think that they are they are a pretty good bet. My wind total projections factor in the fact they're facing hands city twice. They haven't been at nine point seven. That is the highest among the teams not projected to win their division right ahead of Miami and Cleveland. So firmly in the wildcard hunt plus money here plus one twenty six. I think this is the best market to get the Chargers at. I think they should be a team that puts up a lot of wins this year. It should be in contention for a wildcard spot even though I don't expect them to be a true contender to push the cheese in the West. The Chargers went seven and nine straight up last year. Yet seven of their nine losses were all by one possession. Last one another plus money play for a team to make the playoffs. You're going with the Minnesota Vikings. How much of this has to do with the potential of Aaron Rodgers and not being the quarterback in Green Bay. Absolutely. That is definitely part of it here. That could happen. I think that's something you should be factoring in throughout these bets. And I'm not entirely basing it off of that because right now I am assuming that Rogers does play for Green Bay. That's my win total projections that Rogers is there. And even right there the Vikings ranked eighth in the NFC and win total projections at nine point two. So if you take away Aaron Rodgers that increases their division odds and also increases their win total projection because they do have two games versus Green Bay. So a couple of things could work in their favor there. It's a second year. Justin Jefferson their defense last year was bad but it was also very young. You give those young guys a second year under Mike Zimmer. I'd expect some improvement from them defensively. So I like getting in on this one now before we see what happens with Rogers. I wouldn't expect it to get a lot worse if it's confirmed that Rogers will play for Green Bay this year. So I take it now and get ahead of things just in case Rogers does get dealt. The Vikings went seven and nine last year just falling one spot short of making the playoffs in the NFC. That's it for us here on the Vandal. Hurry up with Jim Zanis. I'm Ariel. I've seen good luck to your bets and we'll see you next time.
