Laurence Holmes opened his show by welcoming on BetQL Daily host Joe Ostrowski to discuss the Bears firing general manager Ryan Pace -- Joe O's big nemesis -- and coach Matt Nagy. He also discussed Georgia beating Alabama to win the national championship and previewed the NFL wild-card round. Which games does he like on the betting front? Later, Holmes took time to calm down Bulls fans after they were blown out 138-112 by the Nets on Wednesday night at the United Center.
