New year, same chaos. 🥂
It’s NFL Week 18, and nothing makes sense — backups are starting, playoff spots are locked, and the betting board is pure pain. In Episode 168 of Tanks and Tuddies, we break down how to attack the ugliest slate of the season with locks, longshots, parlays, and situational betting angles you actually need.

Jake and Austin recap a wild Week 17, talk Lions collapse and Packers clinching, debate Malik Willis’ future, and navigate a no-model Week 18 where feel, motivation, and chaos rule. You’ll get final regular-season locks, multiple ML longshots, a Week 18 parlay, and betting insight heading into the playoffs.

If you bet NFL Sundays — especially Week 18 — this episode is required listening.
