In context

BillAre you done? You can tap out if you want. No, I have so many.

BillI really love this one.

BillI'm not going to do Atlanta twice. I'll do one that I love that I've wagered on myself.

BillI have Houston and Seattle both to make the playoffs.

BillIt's plus 112 on FanDuel, basically even odds.

BillAnd I don't see a world where either of these teams don't make the playoffs unless something horrible happens. Now, I've learned my lesson from last year because we got burned.

BillWe'd had some three -team playoff stuff. And what I took away from that, my mistake and my lesson going forward, is three teams are just opening the door for weird shit to happen. Stick with the two you really like.
