Simon, I know we've ripped the Bengals forever, but do we feel like there's anything we've seen now that the schedule is fully out that makes us reconsider the Bengals?

You know what?

Let me interrupt you for one second.

Because I actually feel like there is rhyme and reason.

And the rhyme and reason is...

biggest games, biggest teams, most prime time situations, and everything else goes to shit.

So it used to be these would be balanced out for health reasons or competition reasons.

Now it's just about what's the best game we can put on television at any particular time with the highest profile people.

And that's how that impacts the opportunity to play against teams coming off a bye.

Because some teams might never factor into that equation in terms of being on prime time.

And some teams are only going to factor into the equation in being prime time.

It goes back to what we talked about at the beginning.

Like, it's so clear what the league is doing.

to the detriment, potentially, health-wise of everything else.

I would say they're not pushing that rest doesn't matter.

I would say they're pushing rest matters less than the cash we can make from putting good games in good spots to make more money.

The second round of the NBA playoffs is here.

And with win or go home energy on the hardwood, same game parlays are a great way to stack picks built, especially for the playoff action.

If you're ever late to tip off, don't worry.
