GOOD RIDDANCE - Not the time of our lives (1.6.25): The NFL regular season is over, Week 18 shenanigans, and a look ahead to Wild Card Weekend

Matt Russell (@mrussauthentic on X) looks back at Week 18 in the NFL with a focus on the Vikings-Lions game and how the final score might have been a microcosm of the “New NFL” where teams going for it on 4th down more frequently are causing a wider range of results. 

Matt then goes through the results of the weekend, pointing out how the same thing that led to a loss on Kansas City led to win on the Rams against the spread, along with various other betting stories. 

Finally, Matt takes a look at the point spreads for Wild Card Weekend, and if there’s anything that surprised him based on our final market rating chart.

Plus, a pair of touchdown scorers for the College Football Playoff are the subject of secret, podcast-only plays. 

It’s time to head to THE WINDOW, let’s go!
