Nate's NFL Divisional Round Playoff Wager with Cousin Vinny and The Gaffer · Nate's Daily Wager

  Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
• 0:10
  am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
• 0:13
  mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
• 0:20
  January 18th, 2026. And man, well, look, all I can
• 0:27
  say is at least when I woke up this morning, I didn't have a
• 0:30
  broken ankle, you know, So that's positive.
• 0:34
  And that's about all I'm going to say about that.
• 0:37
  We're going to do our best to overcome that.
• 0:39
  Owen too, that Vinnie and I had yesterday and we're going to get
• 0:42
  us some wins today. Gaffers in the mix too.
• 0:45
  So I'm sure he's at least going to get us a tie.
• 0:47
  All right, two more games on the slate today.
• 0:49
  Playoff football winner. Go home or go home with a broken
• 0:53
  ankle even if you win. But anyways, not bitter moving
• 0:56
  forward-looking at today's games, there's actually a lot of
• 0:58
  stuff that I like today. But where I'm zero and a down is
• 1:02
  this late game Rams, Bears and the Bears, all right, They've
• 1:06
  just been pulling stuff out of their butts all year.
• 1:08
  They've been making me worry every time I bet on them, but
• 1:12
  somehow they just pull it out at the end of their end.
• 1:15
  Or maybe a hat if you ought to be a little more PG.
• 1:17
  But the important thing here is it is now at 4.
• 1:20
  The spread has now grown to 4. They're at home.
• 1:23
  And look, this is in like what has been happening, right?
• 1:26
  It's going to go back and forth. Yeah, Rams are probably going to
• 1:29
  get up at some point by like 1417.
• 1:32
  And somehow the Bears are going to find their way back in.
• 1:35
  And then it's going to come down right to the end there.
• 1:37
  It's going to be like a three or four point game back and forth
• 1:41
  with maybe some touchdowns, field goals, and it's going to
• 1:43
  be in that three to four point area.
• 1:45
  One of them's going to win, one of them's going to lose.
• 1:47
  But I think if I got 4 points in my pocket, I'm feeling pretty
• 1:50
  confident coming down to the end.
• 1:51
  So that's where I'm going to go. All right, so we're going to
• 1:54
  take the Chicago Bears plus 4 at home against the LA Rams in
• 1:59
  today's NFL divisional round football action.
• 2:02
  Do you think better than that? Pound it.
• 2:04
  That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
• 2:06
  Vinny, give them your pick, Gaffer.
• 2:08
  Roll the ball out, boys. Ladies and gentlemen, the gaffer
• 2:12
  is back with you, licking his wounds from a difficult
• 2:15
  divisional round playoff from the NFC last night.
• 2:19
  That's all right. We're going to move on.
• 2:21
  Life keeps going. We got Newcastle and the Wolves
• 2:26
  right now tied in the English Premier League.
• 2:29
  Lots of games. Yesterday we had the Manchester
• 2:31
  Darby, Michael Carrick taking over and and Man U getting it
• 2:34
  done, beating Pep Guardiola side 2 nil.
• 2:37
  That was a surprise. Arsenal drawn 00 at Nottingham
• 2:41
  Forest, another surprise. We got to have one game later on
• 2:45
  here, we got Aston Villa and Everton.
• 2:47
  That is not going to be a surprise.
• 2:49
  The villains are going to get it done.
• 2:50
  They're going to get the three points, They're going to stay on
• 2:52
  top of the heap, looking for strides to move up, get closer
• 2:55
  to Arsenal, maybe get the four points.
• 2:58
  It's been a better year for Aston Villa.
• 2:59
  They're going to keep it rolling today.
• 3:01
  Good luck, you're going to need it.
• 3:04
  You it's calls and Vinny, it's Sunday, divisional round
• 3:09
  weekend. I'm here of your luck of the
• 3:11
  week. And yeah, rough one yesterday
• 3:14
  for everybody. The under didn't hit.
• 3:17
  Bill's lost. Josh Allen's crying on the
• 3:20
  podium. Bo Nicks breaks an angle.
• 3:24
  Broncos fan got a backup quarterback.
• 3:26
  Josh Stephen, I don't even know who he is.
• 3:29
  Honey, next week in AFC championship game.
• 3:32
  And man, we got to think about the prospect of the Patriots.
• 3:36
  God, I hate the Patriots. I know Nate does too.
• 3:38
  But the Patriots, as they win today, they're going to be going
• 3:41
  in a Mile High to play a backup quarterback.
• 3:44
  I just, let's not even go there yet.
• 3:47
  And yeah, last night's game, man, I want to talk about a dud.
• 3:51
  It was even worth watching by after half.
• 3:54
  So hopefully today brings some better football.
• 3:56
  Listen, Kozenbey doesn't like the spread in either of these
• 3:59
  games. He got 3 1/2 points going to the
• 4:01
  Bears. I like a home dog, but not that
• 4:03
  much. I still don't trust Caleb
• 4:04
  Williams. And then, yeah, in the early
• 4:06
  game. I can't really think rationally
• 4:08
  about this one. I probably could pick it with my
• 4:10
  heart a little bit and go with the Texans 3 1/2, but I'm not
• 4:13
  going to do that officially. What I'm going to do officially
• 4:16
  is go to anytime TD score player props, and we'll look at Woody
• 4:21
  Marks. Wendy Marks picked up halfway
• 4:24
  through my fantasy Football League as a waiver wire.
• 4:26
  It was a nice addition to my team.
• 4:28
  And I feel like ever since that happened and ever since I turned
• 4:31
  on the the Texans and started paying attention, he's always in
• 4:34
  the mix scoring touchdowns. He's carrying the ball.
• 4:37
  Nice little player there. Cool name, Woody.
• 4:39
  You know it like that. But yeah, plus 165 value.
• 4:43
  Let's go with that today. A little sprinkle.
• 4:45
  Let's not overthink it. Let's get this guy in the end
• 4:48
  zone out there in Foxborough. Let's win a little money.
• 4:50
  All right, so until next week, the Championship Day weekend,
• 4:55
  this is calls from Vinny with your lock of the week.
