LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT’S SUPER BOWL WEEK!Normally, I wouldn’t start with all caps, but let’s be honest here, five months ago I didn’t even think the was going to make it through Week 4, so Freddie Freeman Jersey the fact that we made it all the way to the is a minor miracle. I thought for sure the outbreak was going to close down the season and that the would be declared the Super Bowl champs, but that’s not what happened.

Today’s Show: Betting guide for Super Bowl LVThe Monday podcast is usually a recap show, but there’s nothing to recap this week since there weren’t any games played on Sunday. Well, there was a virtual Pro Bowl game, but I’m not going to count that.Anyway, with no games to recap, Will Brinson had to come up with another idea for today’s podcast, so he invited R.J. White to the show and they recorded a monstrous betting guide for Super Bowl LV props.

Five things to know about the Lions-Rams tradeUnle s you got taken hostage over the weekend, I’m gue sing that you heard about the trade between the Lions and the Rams. In one of the wildest offseason deals of all-time, the Lions sent to Los Angeles in exchange for , two first-round picks and a third-round pick.As crazy as it sounds, I actually love this deal for both teams. Although giving up two firsts might seem like a lot to land Stafford, I look at it like this: The Rams gave up one first to land Stafford and a second first to get that insane Goff contract off their books. Before the weekend, Goff’s contract seemed untradeable, but as it turns out, it was tradeable, but only if you bribe the other team with a first-round pick.Anyway, here are five quick things about the trade that you may have mi sed:Before trading for Stafford, the Rams actually tried to acquire from Green Bay, but the immediately shot that down.

The former Rams quarterback that he’s “just excited to be somewhere that I know wants me and appreciates me.”The Rams Super Bowl . After the trade was announced, L.A. went from 18-to-1 to win Super Bowl LVI to 13-to-1. As for the Lions, the oddsmakers were indifferent to the fact that they added Goff. The Lions were 100-to-1 to win it all before making the trade and they were 100-to-1 after the trade. The Lions have never been to a Super Bowl and the oddsmakers clearly aren’t expecting that to change.

Ranking all the starters in the Super BowlI have to admit, I was under the impre sion that Pete Prisco was taking two weeks off between the conference title games and the Super Bowl, but apparently, it turns out I was wrong. The reason we haven’t heard from Pete in a while is because Prisco has been busy ranking EVERY SINGLE STARTER on both teams for the Super Bowl.There are 11 starters on offense for both teams and 11 starters on defense for both teams, which means there are 44 starters in the game. Pete looked at each player individually and then ranked them from from 1 to 44.Here’s a look at his top five and his bottom five:1. ( QB)2. Josh Tomlin Jersey (Chiefs TE)3. Tom Brady ( QB)4. (Chiefs WR)5. (Chiefs DT)…40. (Buccaneers DT)41. Scotty Miller (Buccaneers WR)42. (Chiefs DE)43. (Chiefs WR)44.

If you want to see Prisco’s explanation for why his rankings fall the way they do and if you want to know who falls in the 6 through 39 slots, . Most importantly, if you want to argue with Prisco about his list on Twitter, .4.
