Thanks for watching the program as always on YouTube TV listening on SiriusXM Channel 189, iHeartRadio, TuneIn Radio or any of our great affiliates across the country. There's also another pretty deep layer to this, what we're talking about. Again, if you're just tuning in right now, the FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop not long ago for all airlines due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. It's a communication thing from what we understand. So nothing to panic about other than flights not going anywhere. All of these messages now and thoughts are coming out at the same exact time. One, Pete Thamel, as he tweeted out, there are numerous college football teams that have yet to fly to their destinations. If this continues, it could significantly impact college football tomorrow. Another one, aren't teams generally getting ready to take off pretty soon in the NFL, today or tomorrow?

And if this is still a thing nationwide, how are they going to get to their destination? We're going to hop on a train for seven hours? Seems a little unlikely.

Pauly Howard (1:31)

There are college, a lot of college teams haven't left yet?

Mitch Moss (1:33)

That's what Pete Thamel tweeted out.

Pauly Howard (1:35)

That's unbelievable.

Mitch Moss (1:36)

Oh man.

Ryan Kramer (1:37)

Getting ready to take off. This could be a vicious beat.

Mitch Moss (1:39)

This is their window to get to their destination and then play tomorrow. And evidently, I'm sure it's going to come out pretty soon. People who cover this stuff are going to find out just how many teams have not taken off yet. And I'm going to guess, I mean, if he's tweeting that out right now, he's probably right.

And so if this continues, they're not going to be allowed to go anywhere.

Pauly Howard (1:56)

What do you think the plan is? I mean, there's no one in charge in college football or college sports. So this is what's plan B?

Monday afternoon for college?

Mitch Moss (2:07)

I don't know.

Pauly Howard (2:07)

What are they going to go back a week? What are we going to do with all the games?

Mitch Moss (2:12)

Do they just cancel them? Like the game specifically this week? Because there is a schedule to this, Paul, the way it falls with still having title games and then the playoff show that they have to have and then getting ready for the games.

Pauly Howard (2:26)

And you got that stupid rule on when Army Navy plays, right? That rule where you can't...

Mitch Moss (2:32)

There's nothing else that can go on that day?

Pauly Howard (2:34)

Yeah, that silly thing goes back to the broadcasting rule after the 60s or something.

Mitch Moss (2:39)

You have another one on top of that. This could impact win totals everywhere in the NFL and college football. Yeah, perhaps. Most books tell you in their rules that you have to play all of your scheduled games in order for it to be graded either a winner or a loser, NFL and college. I think maybe some books have changed that over the years.

COVID maybe played a role in that, and if that's the case, and if this somehow is like doomsday scenario, or in terms of like sporting events not getting being played, then like if we don't have college football or NFL for one weekend, doesn't that just we got to get a bookmaker on from somebody here at Circa or something like that to find out what their rules would be. That's incredible. Every win total is just going to be a void.

Pauly Howard (3:27)

Yeah. Are the Lions and Patriots going to be stranded?

In Germany?

Mitch Moss (3:32)

Is that going to be the only game?

Pauly Howard (3:34)

That one will be played. That's the good news.

Mitch and Paul taking your calls pre and post game. What did you see? Lions, Pats?

Mitch Moss (3:43)

No, we'll pretend that the games are going to be played anyway and go on with it like we're going to have to do right now, assuming that this is just going to be a blip and flying is going to resume here anytime. I don't know if that's going to be the case or not. Some people are speculating it could take a long, long time to do something like this. So you brought up the Minnesota Green Bay Game in the previous segment. And a couple of things here too that Steve Mackinnon has at vsin.com.

At home for the Packers, Lambeau Field since 2019, 41 and 24 ATS at 63%. Against divisional opponents since 2019, they are 60%. And Matt LaFleur, 28, 19 and 1 straight up as a single digit favorite since 2021 Not great at covering, but really good at winning those games. Yesterday, here on Follow the Money, we brought on long time Las Vegas odds maker, Ed Sammons Pauly. And you started it off by asking him about the drop off here with some of these quarterbacks, but specifically what Kirk Cousins means to the line in Minnesota.
