Good morning, everybody, the Simple Handicap for Friday, January 3rd.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning, and it's good to chat with everybody for the first time in 2025.

A very happy new year to everybody.

Hopefully, your week or perhaps half a week, or maybe you're still on holidays, you're still on vacation, is going very well, and your Friday is off to an awesome start.

Final episode of the 2024 NFL regular season show,

18 plus weeks every morning. Thank you, everybody who is tuned in any part of the way so far this

season. I will say going forward for the playoffs, I'm going to experiment with a little bit of a

different format. I'm going to do the same opening

odds show that will be uploaded as soon as the playoff odds are up. I'll be doing those Sunday

evening coming up reacting to the wild card round and then I'll be doing those the following weekend

and then for the championship. I'll be doing that too and then obviously for the Super Bowl right

after championship Sunday concludes. Those will be the usual episodes that you know and expect.

But what I think I'm going to experiment with for these playoffs is doing game by game episodes.

Go a little bit more in depth on the matchups, give my thoughts, rather than uploading a rundown

as we have for every day. The playoff download mark

is very different than typically what I see during the regular season. So this might be more informative.

I haven't decided if I do it. But what I do know is the daily breakdown of everything just

becomes a bit much in the playoffs with so few games. And so I want to try to add a little bit more

value to everybody listening rather than just kind of do the rundown every morning for just a

handful of games. To quite frankly, once you get past Wednesday, you don't see a lot of movement

and you don't see a lot of changing as well. So I'll see how those go. Those would be

uploaded to YouTube as well and pre-recorded segments. We'll play it by year.
