REPORTING AS ELIGIBLE (12.17.24): A MNF duo shows off a sad state of affairs in the NFL

On the Tuesday show, Matt Russell (@mrussauthentic on X) breaks down the depressing Monday Night Football games, as the quality of play mirrored the results for the the Bears/Vikings Over 44, and the Raiders +6. 

What’s the prognosis for Caleb Williams, and why the Falcons got away with one thanks to the Raiders’ collective incompetence. 

Matt looks back at all of Sunday’s events and yet another big week for favorites covering late, while the Commanders coughed up their minimally required lead. Matt explains why he’s out on the Lions AND the Bills, and why there’s a few contenders for awards and stat leaders that have emerged without much fanfare. 

Then, it’s a look back at the Salute to Veterans Bowl - an example of how bowl game line movements are a bigger rollercoaster than the game itself, until a college kicker stripes a meaningless 48-yarder, that is. 

Plus, a podcast-only bet for next week’s Idaho Potato Bowl!

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