Final Wager

The most skilled players on the field.

That's right, Tony,

and one of those skilled players

is the league leader in touchdowns and yardage,

Miami's own wide receiver, Tyrone Hillard.

That's right. He's the fastest man on the field.

And with Justin Allen throwing to him,

he's almost unstoppable.

Well, we're just moments away from kickoff here.

So let's throw it down to Mark Appleton on the field.

Mark, what does Miami need to do

to pull out a victory today?

Thanks, Frank.

Miami's got a lot going for them.

Their passing game has been top notch,

but they're going to have to bring their A game,

if they wanna get ahead of this dominant,

dominant Buffalo defense,

that just continues to shut down offenses

all year long.

You might remember just last week,

they held Minnesota's high-powered offense

to just three points.

Here we go. Buffalo kicks it off.

Miles for the kick, fielded by Walker.

Heads to the outside for some extra yardage,

and he's got the edge, breaks a tackle.

He's got room, and there he goes.

Nobody's gonna catch him, touchdown Miami.

Touchdown for Miami on the opening kickoff.

Wow, what are the chances? What are the chances?

Chance, Chance, Chance?

He's six months now with no bet on nothing.

Pretty good, pretty good, pretty good. You, uh...

if you wanna say something, uh, Chance,

now would be a good time for you

to say anything you feel like saying.

Everybody'd like to hear from you.

Thanks, thank you, Ian.

Um...

I came in here six months ago

because I almost lost the love of my life

because of my gambling.

And you guys might actually know her,

as she owns Gus' bar up there.

It's my... my girl, Lisa.

But with the help of these meetings,

I proved to her,

and more importantly, I proved to myself,

that my gambling days are behind me.

That's... hallelujah.

Ah, thanks, thanks.

There's a lotta family and friends that are not here,

that don't even understand what we're trying to do,

but I know we all got things to do today.

So, you know, let's wrap it up.

And everybody knows where I'm at if you wanna talk, right?

Yes.

-Thanks, Ian. -Best things ever are the holidays.

-Thank you. -Congratulations.

-Thank you. -Hey, sure.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, yeah. Have a Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas, bud. All right.

Happy, happy Christmas.

Great. You're all set, Miss Valerie.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Knock, knock.

-Merry Christmas. -Chancey!

Oh, Chancey.

Hi, hi, Mama.

These are-- No, no, don't get up, don't get up, please.

Oh.

-Oh, Merry Christmas. -Oh, my Chancey.

It's so good seeing you.

-You, too. -What is this?

That's my laundry, and I need you to pick up the pace.

You're falling behind.

And before you ask, no, it wasn't expensive.

Okay, okay.

Oh, I love it.

This is the day I picked you up from the orphanage.

Do you remember that day?

You mean, the greatest day of my life?

Yeah. - Yeah, I think I vaguely remember that one.

Oh, beautiful. Just beautiful.

-Here. -Oh.

That's for you.

Oh, look at this.

- Made another card. - Yes, I did.

This is a good one. This might be the best one yet.

Do you see the little elf hiding behind the tree?

I do see him.

Look at this little guy, just staring right at me.

-Yes. -Merry Christmas, Chance.

"Have a Merry Christmas. Love, Mom."

-Scratchers. -Yes.

Scratchers.

Yes.

Can't do scratchers.

What do you mean?

Scratchers are technically gambling.

I'm sorry, Chancey.

No, it's okay.

I'm just gonna give them to Lisa. She loves these.

-I'm so sorry. -It's fine.

How is my sweet Lisa?

She's doing good, but...

but hopefully she's better after this.

You're gonna propose?

Yes, tomorrow.

Oh, a Christmas proposal!

Oh, how romantic.

I didn't know I had raised such a romantic.

Ooh, that is so exciting.

I just, I'm not very creative,

so I decided to pick the day we met.

She's gonna love it.

I hope so.

She is.

I guarantee that. She's gonna love it.

Mom,

what's going on with these boxes?

The boxes, the walls... Where's all your stuff?

What's going on?

Well, I was gonna wait till after Christmas to tell you.

Tell me what?

Uh, there's been a mix-up of sorts, uh...

Mom, what is happening?

They say I've gotta leave the facility.

What?

But I promise you, we gave your mother ample notice

about her outstanding bills.

I'm the one who pays her bills.

How could you not call me?

Well, normally we would,

but since she's your foster mom and never legally adopted you,

it's legally her responsibility

to discuss financial issues with you.

-Our hands are tied. -Wait.

Wait, so you're telling me

that she didn't pay one stupid bill,

and you're gonna kick her out?

She forgot to pay her insurance,

and her insurance company dropped her.

So we had to start charging her full resident rate.

No, that's fine. I can take care of that. How much is it?

What does she owe?

Well, four months without insurance is $64,000.

Sixty-four...

That's gotta be some kind of mistake, right?

The rent here is $1,900 a month.

Without insurance,

it's a little over $16,000 a month.

That's insane.

Gary, that's nuts.

Well, you ever give a 90-year-old man a sponge bath?

Well, it's not pretty.

We earn the money here.

Gary, her doctors are here.

Right? She's sick.

We both know she can't leave here. That's not an option.

Well, I mean, she could.

We could, like, uh, wheel her out or carry her out.

And trust me, we do it all the time.

In fact, we got a team that does it.

The guys, big guys, good looking, carry her out.

She'll probably like it.

We've already given your mom the prerequisite 60-day notice.

In fact, she's supposed to be out by now,

but I didn't want her kicked out until after Christmas.

My advice to you,

get her back on insurance

and then get her in another place ASAP,

before she goes into collections.

-Collections? -Collections.

So what you're saying is, you can't help me out.

You're just gonna kick her out.

"Now, Merry Christmas, you're into collections for $64,000."

When does she need to be outta here?

Day after Christmas.

We have to prep her room.

We have a new tenant moving in on the 1st.

All right.

What if I can come up with the money?

If you could pay your mother's outstanding bill,

I will personally call the board of directors

and convince them to let her stay.

But I'd need a cashier's check

for the full amount on December 26th.

Got it. See you in two days.

Doubtful.

...in victory formation, and they take the knee.

In a stunning upset, Miami shocks Buffalo at home

with a huge win.

Final score, 35 to 10.

Lisa, can you turn down the Christmas music?

People come to the bars to watch sports.

God, not on Christmas Eve they don't.

And plus, it's my bar, so I can play
