It's a Competition Wednesday on the Hoffman Show. Craig and Anthony pick games weekly against the spread, and the loser of these games have to spin the Wheel of Mediocre Punishments.

Craig welcomes David Harrison of the LockedOn Commanders Podcast and Sports Illustrated to dive into the Commanders' playoff preparations. They discuss the returns of Marshon Lattimore and Tyler Biadasz to practice and evaluate their confidence levels in both players suiting up on Sunday.
