Daniel’s seventy-weeks resolve around one simple issue. Here it is.

We know that the promised Messiah came at the end of the 69 weeks (Dan. 9:25) and he was cut off within the next week of years (the 70th) and that in that ensuing 70th week he fulfilled all the predictions of Daniel 9:24 and 27.

There is absolutely no reason to insert any period of time between the 69th and the 70th week for the simple reason – none of us think of time in this way. We go from 7 weeks and then the next 62 weeks (Dan. 9:25) consecutively and then to the 70th week consecutively. To add anything in-between is a travesty of interpretation.
