That's a thirty five dollar book for a dollar.

I can tell you right now I'm not doing that with my book.

So that is totally classy, Warren.

We're going to get into all the glory of the schedule.

Simon, I know you want to get it warm real quickly about some of the primetime scheduling stuff.

It's an interesting exercise.

The way you frame that, the NFL is trying to, for lack of a better term, handicap the

who the best teams are going to be at the end of the season.

So if you were trying to build out a season win total betting roadmap, you could do worse than incorporating how the NFL is building its schedule, which by the way, it is an entirely different philosophy.

They are trying to maximize dollars.

They are trying to take advantage of their ability to be

sort of the elephant in the room and dictate what terms are going to be for their future broadcast partners and they don't really care what the public response is they don't really care what the political response is they don't really care what the legislative response is they're looking to maximize the dollars which is how we as fans are getting these great matchups

And if this is what they think that the best teams are gonna be, Simon, how much do we think about that?

I've never really considered that, the schedule as a, for lack of a better term, key performance indicator when I'm building out a roadmap for handicapping.

Warren, we're going to dig into a bunch of teams.

Right off the top,

There's an interesting disparity to me because one of your great stats that you've created is sort of rest advantage, where teams are getting a rest advantage over their opponents throughout the course of the season.

Schedule winners in that category, Chicago and Buffalo.

What's interesting is that the Bears,

according to traditional metrics, which is aggregating last season's win percentage, actually have one of the hardest schedules in the NFL.
