Topics discussed include the Week 17 playoff picture, the slate’s preseason-ness and Roger Goodell-induced divisional overload, the holidays, the ease with which alcohol can be delivered, the chalkiness of Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers, the recency bias-ish-ness of J.J. Nelson, and the plethora of cheap running backs.
Also, Freedman notes the non-.500-ness of Peter’s Week 16 ‘skill game proposition’ performance.
