New England Patriots +3.5 · BetMGM
“[14:00] But I think there's enough questions there to say,
[14:04] at a point spread like this,
[14:05] with a quarterback like I've got in Drake May on the other side,
[14:10] I'll take the points with the New England Patriots.
[14:12] I don't know if I'll be intrepid enough, gutsy enough, ballsy enough to take the Patriots to win outright in Seattle on banner night.
[14:25] But to lose by three or less feels to me like Seattle wins this one at the gun.
[14:31] Give me the Patriots plus three and a half.”
San Francisco 49ers · BetMGM
“[19:41] Now look, we get there to Melbourne Australia week one
[19:45] and the Niners are the walking wounded,
[19:46] I might feel a little differently.
[19:48] But as it stands right now,
[19:50] I don't even need the points.
[19:52] I'll take them, but I don't need them.
[19:53] I think the San Francisco 49ers walk into Melbourne as the underdog
[19:57] and walk out 1-0, beating the LA Rams.”
Chicago Bears -2.5 · BetMGM
“[31:16] Caleb Williams and I think Chicago lays it on Carolina in week one I think a lot of people
[31:23] will talk themselves into the Panthers.
[31:25] Bears are regression candidate.
[31:26] Okay, fine.
[31:27] The public's going to back the Bears
[31:28] and sometimes the public wins.
[31:31] I like the Bears laying the two and a half
[31:33] in Carolina.”
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5
“[11:25] Bengals and the Bucs coming over tonight in Cincinnati.
[11:29] Cincy, three and a half point favorites total, 51 and a half.
[11:36] Baker Mayfield saying yesterday to the news media in Tampa that he believes the Bucs are being underestimated this year.
[11:46] And watch out for us.
[11:47] And everyone thinks we're going to be a losing team this year.
[11:50] I actually don't think that's true.
[11:52] Neither does the betting market.
[11:53] And our friends at BetMGM, Tampa's the favorite to win the NFC South.
[11:58] So can't be that much pessimism about Tampa if that's true.
[12:01] But to a degree, I understand where Baker's coming from.
[12:05] People like me are looking for reasons to like any other team in the division.
[12:11] And Baker's dealing with his contract situation.
[12:13] He's on a lame duck year this year.
[12:15] And some people will say, well, he'll play with the chip on his shoulder and it's going to be great.
[12:19] I think you could just as easily make a case that this is something that could erode the team as the year goes on.
[12:25] The Vita Veya situation, we'll see how healthy the offensive line is come week one.
[12:30] Is Emekig Buka going to be ready come week one?
[12:34] As the summer has rolled on, it's going to be tough for me to not like Tampa in that division.
[12:40] I said this last hour, just because of everything else that's going on in the NFC South.
[12:44] So if I had to bet this game, I'd take Tampa.
[12:47] I'm down on Cincinnati compared to what a lot of people expect.
[12:50] A lot of people think the Bengals are just going to show up and dominate this year behind what I think is still a questionable offensive line.
[12:57] And I'll believe this defense is good when I see it.
[13:00] I understand Dexter Lawrence is there and Joseph Asai is there and we've got some new pieces in the secondary.
[13:07] Okay, Al Golden still calling the defense and Zach Taylor is still the head coach.
[13:13] I'm not going to like the Bengals.
[13:15] And I don't love Tampa.
[13:18] You give me more than a field goal?
[13:19] I'll take Tampa, fire the cannons, and let's back what our friend Drew Dinsick said yesterday, the whale capper.”
Under 51.5
“[13:18] You give me more than a field goal?
[13:19] I'll take Tampa, fire the cannons, and let's back what our friend Drew Dinsick said yesterday, the whale capper.
[13:25] One of the sharpest minds out there when it comes to handicapping the NFL.
[13:28] He likes the under 51.5.

[13:54] So like you said, Aaron Glenn is the worst coach in the league.
[13:57] Maybe.
[13:57] Yes.

Arizona Cardinals +10.5
“The point spread's 10.5. Am I crazy? Like, how is Cardinals not 10.5 the best bet of Week 1 in L.A. against the Chargers?”
Arizona Cardinals +10.5 · BetMGM
“Are you ready for this bet? at our show sponsor, BetMGM, right now. Now, it's Monday, July 27th. So my suggestion is not bet the mortgage on this or even bet a dollar on this if you don't want to. We barely have any practices. Preseason hasn't started. Players can get hurt. Things can change. But as it stands right now, the Los Angeles Chargers in week one are a 10.5 point home favorite over the Arizona Cardinals and the total of the game is 46 and a half. Think about how we are viewing these two teams entering the year. The Chargers are one of the sexy teams, right? Mike McDaniel is now running the offense. Everyone, including me, this is like, oh, I've said it's like going from a Pinto to a Ferrari. Greg Roman to Mike McDaniel. Rashawn Slater, Joe Walt, one of the best, if not the best tackle tandems in the NFL, are going to be back. Justin Herbert, Jim Harbaugh, lots of positive buzz around the LA Chargers. Okay. The Arizona Cardinals. Favored at BetMGM to have the least wins in the NFL this season. Everyone thinks they're going to be terrible. Settled for Mike LaFleur as the head coach. Jacoby Brissett will be the week one starting quarterback, assuming health for this team. So one team in the Chargers all the way up. and the Arizona Cardinals expected to be at the bottom. Does that interest you already from a betting perspective? It interests me. For me, the Arizona Cardinals are actually not the worst team in the league. They're not. There's legit talent on defense, especially if they stay healthy. The offense, actually, I'm not saying they're good, but they are way better than the Miami Dolphins, for instance. the reason why the Cardinals are favored plus 200 at BetMGM to have the least number of wins in the NFL is because they play in the impossible NFC West. And they're going to lose six games in division, two to the Rams, two to the Seahawks, two to the Niners. And I admit that. And I think it's likely that Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Carson Beck will all start games this year for Arizona at quarterback. They are not going to be good. They could have the first pick in the draft when it's all said and done. But in week one, Jacoby Brissett starting. Everyone loves the Chargers and are making it like the Chargers. This could be they could play in the Super Bowl this year in their home stadium in L.A. Everyone thinks the Cardinals stink. You have a quarterback that's been there and done that. Good skilled position players and some good players on defense. And the defensive coordinator Nick Rallis was retained. Give me the Cardinals. Plus ten and a half on the road at the Bolts.”

Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers over 45.5 points
“The betting application of this would be, week one, in Minnesota. The total of that game right now is 45 and a half. Packers at Vikings. I love the over in that game. And I understand we're months out. Just like, how are the Packers going to get heat on Kyler Murray? How's it happening? And I have enough faith in Green Bay to be able to score even on a Brian Flores defense with the talent the Packers have on offense. I like the over a lot in that game.”
Minnesota Vikings · BetMGM
“in Minnesota. Green Bay at BetMGM, about a one, one and a half point road favorite, total in the game of 45 and a half. Now, we don't know if Micah Parsons is going to be good to go. It feels like the early reporting, things can change, is that he probably won't be ready for week one, but I don't say that with a ton of confidence. And again, that's not an opinion, that's kind of like the reporting that's been out there, is he may not be ready for a couple weeks into the season. So I'm going to assume for right now that Micah Parsons does not play. I'll just keep saying it. Minnesota last year went 9-8 with J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. A winning record with those three quarterbacks. I know Jonathan Gernard is now in Philly. I get it. But Brian Flores is the best defensive coordinator in the league. With apologies to Vic Fangio, Steve Spagnuolo, and others, I'll take Flores number one. And he's back. I still have a lot of faith in Kevin O'Connell as an offensive mind, and I am willing to say that it's more on J.J. McCarthy, and I can be wrong, that's my opinion, more on McCarthy than a proven head coach and offensive coach in Kevin O'Connell. Enter Kyler Murray. I told you this before the Vikings signed him and after the deal was inked. I said, if the Vikings sign Kyler Murray, this is a playoff team this year in the NFC. They signed Kyler Murray, and I told you, this is a playoff team this year in the NFC. So week one, Vikings Packers in Minnesota. We can do this song and dance as to who's going to win this quarterback competition. There is no competition. Kyler Murray will be the starter if he's healthy. I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'll take the Vikings and Kyler Murray to beat the Packers in Minnesota in week numero uno.”

Argentina plus 120. now I was wrong about France and Spain I was wrong about England and Argentina so take this with whatever grain of salt you'd like I think the number is short I would be this is it's a crazy thing to say because they're like the Jeter Yankees and the Brady Patriots so maybe I'll be wrong again and Argentina just wins and they're down at the end and they come back to win, which really, I guess, can't really surprise us at this point, right? Spain are way better. So was England, to be fair. But Spain is not dumb in the way that England's dumb. And Spain are not disorganized in the way that England are disorganized. Spain will take a lead and choke this game out and in the same way they did not allow Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olisse and the French attack to get going, you really think they're going to let Messi just run wild the way England did? There's no way. I'm not saying Argentina can't win. I just think it's going to be difficult, given that Spain is way better than they are. Give me Spain to win on Sunday. And you know, because I said before, Spain-France, winner of that game wins. I'm sticking with Spain. I'll be betting Spain.”

- South Korea lost
“And here's what I am looking to do in order to make that happen. Now, we are reaching the final games of the group stages, so we'll have a bunch of games being played over the next few days. Here's today's parlay. I contemplated putting Bosnia in the parlay to beat Qatar, and if Bosnia wins, the United States will play Bosnia. So, by the way, American soccer fans, you want a winner in that game, not a draw. You want Bosnia or Qatar to win because then the U.S. gets to play one of those teams in the knockout round. So what we will do, Morocco to beat Haiti, Morocco minus 550, into Brazil with Neymar playing today, minus 325 to beat Scotland. Morocco money line, Haiti money line, and then tonight, South Korea money line against South Africa. That parlay at BetMGM. Brazil, Morocco, South Korea, plus 151 at BetMGM.

England, I think, is one of the three best countries in this tournament, behind France and Spain. So I love England to win. So give me England to win. And then we will run that into Croatia to beat Panama. Now Croatia's minus 200, not as big a favorite. But this is a must-win game for Croatia. Croatia lost the first game to England. So Croatia, not a must-win game. I guess they could draw and then beat Ghana in the next game. But Croatia would like to win this game, obviously. And Croatia still has Luka Modric and others. So Portugal, money line to win. England, money line. Croatia, money line. Those three legs at BetMGM, plus 102. Portugal, England, Croatia, all to win.”

And if you parlay those three results together to win Argentina, France, and Portugal at BetMGM, that three-leg parlay, minus 111. Now, I have no interest in betting the Norway-Senegal game.

The Hurricanes were lackadaisical in Game 1. And even if they come out and they're more with it tonight, and they're not taking breaks during the plays like Gatsas Bear Steady did on the hurdle game-winning goal, I still like Vegas. I think Carter Hart's going to play better tonight than Freddie Anderson. I like the Knights to win, and I was texting with a friend of the show, Ken Barkley, last night about this. In my opinion, not his. I think we will see lower scoring games rest of series. I do think Freddie Anderson will play better in that, and Carolina will be more disciplined, but I trust Vegas more. under 6 Vegas to win let's call it 3-1 Vegas tonight take a 2-0 lead”

France's backups, like their backup starting 11, would probably make the semifinals of the tournament. One last run for coaching great Didier Deschamps, who has won a World Cup, both as a coach and a player. One in 98 for the team that beat Brazil in France to win the championship, and then coached France in 2018. Star players everywhere, and you know Mbappe comes to play for country.

“Sixers, a two-and-a-half point road favorite. Total in the game, 246.5. And hell, Miami isn't even playing good basketball. Feels like Bam Adebayo's 83-point game. Like, when was that? When Miami was rolling and the vibes were good with the Miami Heat. The Heat have lost seven of eight games. Not playing great basketball. At the moment. The reason why. Sixers heat. Is the game of the night. Is because the Sixers. Are at full strength. Joel Embiid. Is going to play tonight. After playing in two consecutive games. What a concept. Joel Embiid's back. Paul George is back off the suspension. And is looking pretty good. Vijay Edgecombe is still around. Hasn't gone anywhere recently. And how about over the weekends. Tyrese Maxey. back for the Philadelphia 76ers as they beat the Hornets on Saturday. The Sixers right now, if you take a gander at the NBA standings in the Eastern Conference, Philly is currently the seventh seed. And given how, and look, Miami can win tonight's game, obviously, but Charlotte's lost a couple in a row. The Magic looked like one of the worst teams in the NBA, lost by 50 yesterday to the Toronto Raptors and a 31-0 run given up to Toronto. So it feels like Philly at worst will be the seven and host the play in game against against the eight seed. Right. It looks like that's what's going to happen. Philly is a half game out of the six seed and climbing out of play in range and now getting fully healthy. I feel like my Knicks are going to be the three seed with how this is going to end up. I don't think they're going to catch Boston. We'll see. They can. I don't think they will. And as a Knicks fan, this is my worst nightmare. would be Knicks Sixers in the first round. Now, I think the Knicks would win that series, but it would make you nervous. And I'll tell you what. If you're a Pistons fan, you're a Celtics fan, you're a Cavs fan, you're a Knicks fan, this is the team you don't want to play. This is the team you want to avoid. Because, yeah, it can go poorly. Joel Embiid could wake up this morning and step out of the wrong side of the bed and be out for the season. Who knows how this is going to go with the health of this team. But if they're healthy, George, Embiid, Maxi, Edgecombe, their ceiling is to win at least one series in the NBA playoffs. And I like them tonight to win in Miami and cover against the Heat.”

What side do you think gets the win here in the Sweet 16? Yeah, I think I kind of like, I think Vokitidis is going to ball out tonight for Texas against Purdue.

“We were talking Ravens, a 14-point home favorite, two-touchdown favorite. So now we're off a 14 at BetMGM, and we're at 13.5. It is juiced towards Baltimore. And I actually think this provides us an avenue to bet on the Baltimore Ravens. I don't think it matters in this matchup that Tyrod's starting. You'd almost rather have fields because the Jets have no receivers. A.D. Mitchell, I love him, but he can't catch. Garrett Wilson's on IR. The Ravens are percolating. And the Ravens' offense might not be great shakes as of late since Lamar came back. The defense is way better. I think 13.5 is a bet on Baltimore. And I think Tyrod's better than Fields in most instances. In this one, like with the state of that receiving core, you'd rather have a guy that can really move at the position, even if he can't throw the ball. So I do like the Ravens at 13.5.”

And I could see people wanting to bet the Nets in this game, not because you think Brooklyn's going to win or you think Brooklyn's good, but hey, like Paolo's out. Probably Orlando's best player, and I know some people that are really in the weeds with basketball maybe think Franz Wagner's better. Paolo's the best player on the team. And maybe you want to take the Nets for that reason. The thing about Orlando, to me, that's been most impressive on this run that they've been on getting back to .500 from the brutal start to the season, the defense is starting to look like what it was the last couple years. And look no further than the game against the Knicks the other night, right? Where the Knicks on that five-game winning streak were averaging 130 points per game. Paolo plays four minutes. They hold the Knicks to 107. If Cam Thomas and Michael Porter Jr. aren't both scoring 30 points, I don't think the Nets are even within shouting distance tonight. I love the Magic tonight. So just bets for me. Bridges over points. San Antonio Spurs. And I'll lay it with the Orlando Magic at home against the Brooklyn Nets.”

Arizona Wildcats -1.5
“But I'm going to bet Arizona in this game. And the reason why Jaden Bradley, Arizona's point guard, does not get as much attention. And we're very early in the season, obviously, but think about even like thus far when we talk about Arizona on the show, we're talking about freshman sensation Kona Pete, could be like a top five pick in the NBA draft next year, drop 30 and seven on Florida's front court. But the reigning defending national champions who returned their entire front court, Kona Pete absolutely wrecked them in that game. 30.7 rebounds, Arizona beat Florida 93-87. So I think Kona Pete's going to do what he wants to do against UCLA down low. Now maybe you would want to make the case that Dent and UCLA can control the tempo of the game. Bradley, a really good defender, and I think that he can do what he needs to do against Dent and the UCLA backcourt, and Kona Pete can do what he does down low. So I take out, not a big bet, small bet for me on Arizona, but I lay the one and a half with Arizona against UCLA.”

I think that Purdue is not going to be able to slow it. Like, Bama's going to play up-tempo, obviously. But I feel good enough about Purdue being able to control the tempo of the game to a degree. And their ability to score the basketball at three and a half. It's a bet on the Boilermakers.”

Pittsburgh Panthers +12.5 · BetMGM
“Notre Dame, a 12.5 point favorite at BetMGM, total 54.5. And if the Irish win out, like they are in the college football playoff, that is a certitude. If Notre Dame wins out, the Irish will make the college football playoff. And that's pretty incredible because remember, obviously, where we were earlier in the year, Notre Dame loses the opener to Miami, and then the botched play at the end against Texas A&M, and A&M beats them by one. And we're like, is Notre Dame going to miss the playoff? Well, it doesn't look like it. It looks like Notre Dame is going to make it. And the Irish have been their preferred betting side this week, out from minus 10.5, now up to 12.5. and there's a fun subplot in this game and it's Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi who was asked by the local media in Pittsburgh if this is a must win game and he had what I would consider to be one of the great brain dead responses in the history of brain dead responses like almost should be studied in classrooms by children like to know what not to say His response, is this a must-win game, was no, it's not. We could lose 110 to 10, lose by 100, and he'd take it as long as they won their final two games in ACC play. Wow, what a message to send to your players. You could lose by 100 and I don't care. What a message sent to the boosters in the NIL era, to the fan base. Yeah, that's great. We can lose by 100 to Notre Dame. No big deal. And the rotten cherry on top of this horrible Sunday for Narduzzi, the Pitt Panthers, and Pitt fans is, Pitt doesn't even control its own destiny as far as making the ACC title game go. So it's just a really stupid thing to say. now with that being said this is not your father's pit panthers your older brother's pit panthers no no no no no this pit team since the quarterback change penstil throws it all over the yard scored 30 points or more in five straight games and pit has the best rushing defense literally in the country. Now, here's Jeremiah Love and Notre Dame to test that out. And maybe Pitt's defense breaks against Notre Dame. And Notre Dame's run game, it's certainly possible. But we know how Pat Narduzzi, how he goes and what he does, and when you want to bet Pat Narduzzi when you want to bet against him. In a spot like this, big home dog. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love Pitt to cover this weekend.”

I would not be surprised if on the second half of a back-to-back the Magic won tonight. It would not surprise me. It could absolutely happen and maybe Orlando's kind of a sleeping giant and you get that great Magic performance tonight where everything clicks offense and defense. I'll pay to see it.

It looks like Kaminga's questionable. It looks like everybody else is playing. Great. Warriors are an old team, second half of a back-to-back. The youngsters and the old guys don't get along. I understand the thought of Draymond calls the team out, now let's bet them. I'm not into it.

So if it's a designed run, I feel like it'll go under because I feel like all the design runs for him don't work out. But if it's like a broken play, pass play, and he runs, I wouldn't bet that because I would need to know, like, is it going to be design run or is it like he scrambles? If he scrambles, way over three and a half. Design run, I would not bet over on Jalen Hurts. Also, design run means a.k.a. tush push. Like, it's fourth and one. Could be. To where it's like one or two yards. Could be. You're right about that. And then that under cash is there. Thank you. You're right. So basically what you're betting, and I guess, yeah, because there's a number of ways it loses. Tush push it loses, and it organically loses. Exactly. And I guess, and it could potentially lose on a scramble also. It doesn't have to go over. So I guess I'd bet under there. I like the under. What's the juice there? Minus 110 each way.”

I'm sure he'll start. but uh he'll he'll be he will play on sunday for the giants brian robinson questionable right now for the washington commanders and that'd be a huge loss if he didn't play i think this number's just right like right now at four now the total is actually a little bit interesting to me i know that the commander's offense is outstanding and they could definitely put up a big number but i still have respect for the giants defense it's the giants offense that i'm worried about in this game and washington's defense with dan quinn like they've been getting better each week now frankie I know he missed a couple practices earlier this week. We'll see if he can play on Sunday. But I do think that this might be a little bit lower scoring than the market thinks, not because of Washington, but because of New York. So I'm actually kind of looking towards the under now that we've hit the key number of 44. I think that's how I'm going to look to play this game. Expect that maybe it's like 27 to 10 or something like that. I could see that being the scenario. And if that's the case, if you lay the four, obviously you'll win your bet. But I like the under a little bit more than I do like the side. So under 44 is how I'm going to bet this week. my advice to you, Femi, would be to bet the Giants team total under in addition to the under in the game. I think Washington wins by double digits. I've said this for a couple weeks now, and I've been wrong, so, I mean, I don't know. I think this is—well, I can't say this anymore, right, because I've been wrong. I do think this is the end for Daniel Jones. I think this is his last game. I think he's at risk for an in-game benching. I think the Commanders win this game by double digits.

Oklahoma Sooners +14.5
“[1:18:40] And I want to start with Red River, Texas, and Oklahoma.
[1:18:44] Now in the SEC, which, like, feels really weird that Red River's now an SEC game.
[1:18:49] Texas, a 14.5-point favorite against the Sooners,
[1:18:53] total in the game sitting at about 49.5.
[1:18:58] I think a lot of people will look at this game
[1:19:01] and look at what Oklahoma's done this season,
[1:19:03] and I think people will remember that a lot of people had Oklahoma
[1:19:06] in the game against Tennessee.
[1:19:07] Oklahoma lost that game by 10, looked impotent on offense in that game,
[1:19:11] and people will remember all the great things that Texas has done this season
[1:19:15] and how good Texas has looked and the two quarterbacks and Sark,
[1:19:18] the number one team in the country.
[1:19:20] Texas has been unbelievable this season.
[1:19:23] People might want to lay Texas in this game.
[1:19:27] Just want to offer you this public service announcement
[1:19:29] next week in college football.
[1:19:32] Not this week, but next week.
[1:19:35] Texas hosts Georgia.
[1:19:41] So this Saturday, not only in Red River
[1:19:44] Do we get a rivalry spot with Oklahoma catching more than two touchdowns against Texas?
[1:19:52] But it is also, is it possible that this is like the look-ahead spot to end all look-ahead spots for Texas?
[1:20:00] First year in the SEC, next week, Georgia, in a game that they are expected not just to win but dominate Oklahoma.
[1:20:09] I mean, I don't know if the bet's going to win or not.
[1:20:11] This is the easiest bet of all time is to click on Oklahoma to cover the spread against Texas this weekend in Red River.”

Tennessee 23, Florida 17 — Tennessee beat Florida 23-17 in overtime (ESPN), a 6-point margin, so Florida +15.5 covered.
Under 47.5
“[1:35:43] on the opposite side, I think Seattle's offense is
[1:35:45] very alive, and I think Seattle could find a lot of success
[1:35:47] against a Niners defense that's a little bit shaky,
[1:35:49] so maybe I'm kind of talking to myself and doing a little
[1:35:51] bit on the over at 47.5
[1:35:53] over at BetMGM. It's 47.5 other
[1:35:55] places in the market as well. I might
[1:35:57] bet this over because I think both offenses
[1:35:59] should find success Thursday
[1:36:01] night. I know it's a short week. Those games get a little bit
[1:36:03] weird, but I mean, where are the stops coming
[1:36:05] from based on how we've seen both of these defenses play?
[1:36:08] Oh, well, I think you and I will be
[1:36:09] Apo Taco on this one then, because I like the under in this game.
[1:36:12] And I'm actually going to bet it now, because I think we might go down to 47.
[1:36:16] It's gone down from 48.5 to 47.5.
[1:36:19] A couple of reasons why.
[1:36:20] Number one issue number one Seattle offensive line is absolutely horrendous Absolutely horrendous Dexter Lawrence looked like Aaron Donald yesterday and he awesome I don know if he as good as he looked yesterday
[1:36:33] That offensive line can't protect Geno Smith. Here's Nick Bosa and the Niners' pass rush.
[1:36:37] And on the flip side, dude, there's a problem for the Niners. They can't score touchdowns
[1:36:43] in the red zone. And I know Jake Moody leaves the game yesterday with injury. They don't
[1:36:47] trust the punter, Wisnowski, to make a longer field goal. He made a short one to end the
[1:36:50] first half. I've got issues with this Niners team in the red zone. Can they actually punch it in
[1:36:56] and score touchdowns? I'm not so confident. I'm really not. And we'll see if Seattle gets back
[1:37:01] defensive reinforcements on the D-line this week. I'm going to take a piece of this now,
[1:37:06] see where the injury report goes. But I want to get this while we're still over the number of 47,
[1:37:11] under 47 and a half for me, Thursday night football, Niners and the Seahawks. You better”
49ers 36, Seahawks 24 — 49ers beat Seahawks 36-24 (ESPN recap), a combined 60 points, well over the 47.5 total, so the Under lost.

[2:24:13] I didn't.
[2:24:14] Did I mention I love the Jets next Monday night against the Buffalo Bills?
[2:24:18] Robert Sala sucks, obviously.
[2:24:21] You look at him in the sidelines and you wonder.
[2:24:23] It's like that scene in Office Space.
[2:24:24] He needs to be, his name is Bob, Bob Sala.
[2:24:26] He needs to sit across.
[2:24:28] We need three Bobs.
[2:24:29] Sala, and then I wish I knew the other two's last names off the top of my head.
[2:24:33] The Bobs from Office Space.
[2:24:34] And they should ask Robert Sala, what would you say it is you do here?
[2:24:42] Lose.
[2:24:44] What about Nathaniel Hackett?
[2:24:45] You know, in today's NFL, you're supposed to run pre-snap motion.
[2:24:49] Here are the Jets doing none of it.
[2:24:51] Everyone knows what's coming.
[2:24:52] Drop the ETT off his name.
[2:24:54] He's Coach Hack.
[2:24:55] He's awful.
[2:24:56] So, again, it's just an absolute circus of insanity and horribleness for the 2024.
[2:25:05] Horribleness isn't a word.
[2:25:07] For the New York Jets.
[2:25:08] Also, I'll take the Jets plus three next Monday night because I'm the true idiot here.
[2:25:12] But the New York Jets, definite slaps through the first five weeks of the season.”

[19:52] A&M to win against Missouri, just on the money line.

“[35:15] Yeah, give me the Tigers in the game.
[35:18] What is it right now?
[35:19] Plus 125?
[35:20] Does it move since that was made official?
[35:22] I see some plus 130s out there.
[35:24] It was even a plus 135 for game one.
[35:27] Great.
[35:27] So, yeah, you might be able to get a pretty good price on this.
[35:30] Great.
[35:31] I will get the best price on the Tigers.
[35:33] Tigers in game one.
[35:34] And love the Tigers in the series also against the Guardians.”

[36:12] Mets series game one against the Phils.
[36:15] And when I think destiny, and I think Mets, and I think clutch,”
The Mets beat the Phillies 3 games to 1 in the 2024 NLDS, clinching with a 4-1 win in Game 4 on Oct 9 (ESPN recap, gameId 401701021), so the Mets-to-win-series futures bet wins.
New York Mets to win series 3-2 (+500)
“[36:21] What is the most clutch possible outcome for the New York Mets in this series?
[36:26] How about Mets in five?
[36:28] Winning game five at Citizens Bank on the road.
[36:31] Plus 500, Mets in five at BetMGM.”
The Mets beat the Phillies 3 games to 1 in the 2024 NLDS (clinched with a 4-1 Game 4 win on Oct 9), not the exact Mets-in-5 (3-2) outcome backed (ESPN recap, gameId 401701021).
San Diego Padres
“[37:09] And then Padres, game one.
[37:11] Dylan Cease against Yamamoto.
[37:12] I don't like to go against my Japanese, my brethren, Yamamoto.
[37:16] But give me Dylan Cease and the Padres in game one.
[37:18] Give me the Padres in the series also.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +8.5 and Cincinnati Bengals +8.5 teaser
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +8.5 won
- Cincinnati Bengals +8.5 won
“[2:52:38] the bet that I'll make on the side of the game will be to
[2:52:40] tease the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
[2:52:42] to plus 8.5, and I will pair that
[2:52:44] with the Cincinnati Bengals also
[2:52:46] up to plus 8.5 at home.
[2:52:48] against the Baltimore Ravens.
[2:52:49] This is not going to be like a huge bet for me.
[2:52:51] I just want to have some action on the game,
[2:52:52] and I think Cincy's going to win
[2:52:54] or at least cover eight and a half on Sunday
[2:52:56] against Baltimore.
[2:52:57] So I'll tease Tampa and Cincy.
[2:52:59] The Ryan Fitzpatrick Memorial Teaser,
[2:53:01] one of several, just for some fun tonight.”
Tampa Bay lost 36-30 in overtime to Atlanta (a 6-point loss) and Cincinnati lost 41-38 in overtime to Baltimore (a 3-point loss); both teaser legs cover +8.5, so the two-team teaser wins (ESPN box scores). (TB lost by 6 (30-36); CIN lost by 3 (38-41); both cover +8.5)
New York Mets
“[1:01:40] Look, I'll say this, man, maybe the Mets win tonight.
[1:01:42] I'm going to bet the Mets to win tonight.
[1:01:44] In order to truly be team of destiny, great end to the regular season, carry that momentum into the postseason,”

[1:06:15] and we will all be winners when the Padres win this series
[1:06:17] against the L.A. Dodgers.
[1:06:19] Great.
[1:06:19] You roll with Jack Flaherty and Yamamoto and Landon,
[1:06:22] knick-knack, paddy-whack, give a dog a bone,
[1:06:24] and Walker Bueller.
[1:06:25] Bueller.
[1:06:26] Does anyone remember when Walker was a good starter?
[1:06:29] Bueller.
[1:06:30] You take the Dodgers.
[1:06:32] I'll take the better team.
[1:06:33] And I understand the Dodgers have the best player of all time.
[1:06:36] Great.
[1:06:36] Baseball's a team sport.
[1:06:37] Jackass.
[1:06:39] Padres plus 120 to beat the Dodgers in advance to the NLCS.”
Los Angeles beat San Diego 3 games to 2 in the 2024 NLDS, clinching with a 2-0 win in Game 5 on Oct 11, so the Padres did not win the series (ESPN box score).
Florida Gators
“[1:38:28] And now you look at the points, Brett,
[1:38:29] and you see Florida with Billy Napier,
[1:38:31] who's probably not long for the job.
[1:38:33] Florida plus two and a half or plus three.
[1:38:35] We don't need the points.
[1:38:36] Central Florida, dead team walking into the swamp
[1:38:40] against another dead team walking,
[1:38:41] albeit one with more rest.
[1:38:43] The Florida Gators, you can take the points
[1:38:45] or you can bet the Gators to win on Saturday
[1:38:47] against UCF.”
24-13 — Florida beat UCF 24-13, so the Gators' moneyline won (ESPN box score).
Pittsburgh Panthers -3
“[1:39:16] And now they welcome in Pitt.
[1:39:19] Pitt been bet out to a three-point favorite.
[1:39:21] Wow, wonder why.
[1:39:22] Maybe because Pitt's a lock to win.
[1:39:24] Maybe not a lock.
[1:39:25] To win and cover the spread.
[1:39:26] So the last spot again.
[1:39:28] Give up 70 to James Madison and then blow a 17-point lead against your hated rival spot.
[1:39:33] Pitt minus the points.”
34-24 — Pittsburgh beat North Carolina 34-24, a 10-point win that covers the -3 spread (ESPN box score).
Over 3.5 (-110)
“[2:34:46] This is a big-time bet square.
[2:34:49] We're going to bet square and don't care.
[2:34:51] Now, if you're out there listening and you're saying,
[2:34:52] Nick, you know anything about soccer, this is a really square bet.
[2:34:55] You don't want to take it?
[2:34:56] God bless you.
[2:34:56] No one's holding a gun to your head.
[2:34:57] Do whatever the hell you want.
[2:34:58] Tottenham Hotspur takes on Brighton.
[2:35:01] Again, Brighton let up four goals to Cole Palmer in the first half last week.
[2:35:05] Brighton plays that type of style getting up and down the field.
[2:35:08] Tottenham, the pressing is crazy with Tottenham Hotspur.
[2:35:12] They have the high line.
[2:35:13] They are willing to allow chances on one end to score at another.
[2:35:18] Let's play over 3.5 minus 110 with Tottenham and Brighton.
[2:35:20] Again, if you don't want to play it, don't have to.
[2:35:22] It's a square bet.
[2:35:23] I admit it.
[2:35:23] Square bets don't have to lose.
[2:35:25] Over 3.5 with Tottenham and Brighton.”
Brighton beat Tottenham 3-2; the combined 5 goals clears the over 3.5 total (ESPN match report). (5 combined goals)
Bucky Irving over 44.5 rushing yards
“[2:56:11] Okay.
[2:56:11] The prop king will have two royal yardage plays for thou tonight.
[2:56:15] Thoughts about it to start the show.
[2:56:17] Both backup running backs tonight.
[2:56:19] Bucky Irving overrushing yards, 44.5 I think is the number that I saw last at BetMGM.
[2:56:24] Tyler Algier at a lesser number overrushing yards for the Atlanta Falcons.
[2:56:28] If you want to bet just one, and to be fair, I'm trying to limit my prop exposure to one yardage proper game.
[2:56:34] If I had to choose one, I'd go with Bucky Irving.
[2:56:36] Atlanta's down Troy Anderson in their linebacking core.
[2:56:39] Bucky Irving's averaging six yards per carry.
[2:56:42] He's better than Rashad White.
[2:56:43] So if he only played one, I'd play Bucky Irving over rushing yards, but I do like the Algier rushing yards over as well.”
Bucky Irving finished with 44 rushing yards on 9 carries, just short of the 44.5 line (ESPN box score). (9 carries, 44 rushing yards)
Kameron Johnson anytime touchdown
“[2:57:24] And the Bucs' normal sixth receiver, now the fourth receiver, wide receiver, is Kameron Johnson with a K.
[2:57:32] He dropped a touchdown last week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
[2:57:36] It's a huge price for Kameron Johnson, Cameron with a K, anytime touchdown.
[2:57:41] I get beer money on the anytime touchdown, Sterling Shepard and Kameron Johnson.”
Kameron Johnson did not score a touchdown in Tampa Bay at Atlanta; the full scoring summary (Evans x2, Shepard, London, Mooney x2, Hodge) does not include him (ESPN scoring summary).
Drake London last touchdown scorer
“[2:57:45] And I'll give you, since the prop viceroy gave us a couple first touchdowns, how about a last touchdown scorer in the game?
[2:57:52] I think Atlanta is going to win the game.
[2:57:54] I think Atlanta may win the game late and win a close game.
[2:57:59] I'd love to give you, like, there's a problem with both these teams
[2:58:02] is everything is so concentrated around the same group of guys.
[2:58:05] I can't really, like, justify a long price at last touchdown.
[2:58:08] So let's make it simple.
[2:58:10] The guy that scored the game winner in week two
[2:58:12] in the waning moments for the Atlanta Falcons,
[2:58:15] much like Femi, I also love the Drake.
[2:58:17] And if you don't, you're not like us.
[2:58:19] Drake London, last touchdown tonight.
[2:58:21] Femi laughs at a lot of my jokes.
[2:58:23] I love it.
[2:58:24] Drake London last touchdown score.”
The game's last touchdown was KhaDarel Hodge's 45-yard catch from Kirk Cousins in overtime, not Drake London (ESPN scoring summary).
Kansas City Royals (+125)
“[1:01:54] Duh.
[1:01:55] Obviously, we're taking the Kansas City Royals here.
[1:01:58] And I heard some people today and read some people today, social media,
[1:02:01] you know, making the case for the Orioles, no way this lineup,
[1:02:06] as good as it is for Baltimore, can get shut down two consecutive games
[1:02:10] like they did in game number one against Cole Reagans,
[1:02:13] to which I say, why the hell not?
[1:02:17] Why can't they?
[1:02:19] The Baltimore Orioles have lost, as a franchise, nine consecutive playoff games,
[1:02:25] including the three that they lost last year to eventual World Series champion Texas in the Division Series round.
[1:02:31] And you just got the sense after Game 1, like, all the wind was knocked out of them.
[1:02:35] They were a deflated team, and it turned out that was the case.
[1:02:37] And Texas won the next two.
[1:02:39] So, of course, we're going to take the Kansas City Royals in this game.
[1:02:42] The Royals are young.
[1:02:43] The Royals are hungry.
[1:02:45] The Royals haven't been on the big stage to be disappointed on the big stage, to disappoint on the big stage the way the Baltimore Orioles have.
[1:02:52] Bobby Witt, Cole Reagans, and today, Mr. Lugo.
[1:02:58] Royals money line to close it out against the Baltimore Orioles.
[1:03:01] Love this bet.
[1:03:02] Love the Kansas City Royals today.
[1:03:04] And also to cash our series bets on the Kansas City Royals as well.
[1:03:09] Now joined by my friend, the great Femi Abebefe.
[1:03:11] Femi, I think that we're betting the Royals.
[1:03:15] I'm guessing you're on Kansas City today, my friend.
[1:03:17] You can sing if you'd like also.
[1:03:20] I'm not going to go ahead and do Lord's song, I guess, a disservice.
[1:03:25] But I'm not betting the Royals, actually.
[1:03:27] I'm actually betting the total.
[1:03:28] The first five over is what I'm betting.
[1:03:30] Because I do think that the Royals – the Royals' bats, they're going to be a little bit looser.
[1:03:33] You know, they got that postseason kind of vibe, that feel to them in the last game.
[1:03:37] A little bit tight, pivotal game.
[1:03:38] They won it.
[1:03:39] But now they can obviously – if they lose this game, they can still win the series tomorrow.
[1:03:42] I'm hoping they win today.
[1:03:43] but just a little bit looser than what we'll see from the Baltimore Orioles.
[1:03:47] But I do worry a little bit about my guy Seth Lugo.
[1:03:51] Lugo, it can be up and down at times, and sometimes it's not the best stuff.
[1:03:55] I know he has like the pitch arsenal of like 17 different pitches that he throws out there.
[1:03:59] It's really, really intriguing, but also it's not overpowering.
[1:04:02] And if the Orioles did kind of get guys on base, I would worry a little bit.
[1:04:06] So I'm going to kind of play it safe a little with this one.
[1:04:08] I'm going to go over three and a half in the first five is what I'm going to go in this game here,
[1:04:13] just because I think that we're going to get a little bit more runs.
[1:04:14] Royals, once again, will be a little bit looser at the plate.
[1:04:17] I do think that Baltimore might get a couple on my guy, Seth Lugo.
[1:04:20] So over three and a half, minus 125 is my play in the first five
[1:04:24] for the Royals and Orioles.
[1:04:26] But you'll be rooting on our Royals, though.
[1:04:29] Oh, hell yes.
[1:04:30] Who will you be rooting on?
[1:04:34] Royals.
[1:04:35] Royals.
[1:04:36] Let's find out if Jake and Tyler agree.
[1:04:38] Let's get their bets for this game.
[1:04:39] Jake the Snake Hassan is up first.
[1:04:41] Jake the host of BetSlips.
[1:04:43] and bat flips weekdays two o'clock eastern with our friend lucy burge on the betql network
[1:04:47] uh jake i'm praying my friend that you will be taking the royals what do you have in this game
[1:04:53] royals and orioles buddy i bet the royals last night as soon as the market opened of course
[1:04:59] it's always the royals it's the royals again it was always the royals my royals our royals it had
[1:05:06] to be i can't believe their dogs again yesterday was a disaster scenario for the orioles corbin
[1:05:11] Burns is awesome. He's dominant and you just lose anyway, disaster scenario for the Orioles and Seth
[1:05:19] Lugo. Yeah. I know people are going to point to, he has bad history against this lineup with the
[1:05:23] Orioles. That was an April. This is not April's Orioles. This Orioles lineup is not remotely the
[1:05:30] same as April's. This team has no juice. They have no wind in their sales. I think they're just wanting
[1:05:35] to go home to quote. I think you should leave. They don't even want to be here anymore. And Seth
[1:05:39] Lugo he was better on the road this year he's also pitched in the postseason before he has
[1:05:43] experience in the postseason the moment's not going to be too big for him I really like the
[1:05:48] Royals today I think they advanced today all right love it from Jake the Snake love love when all of
[1:05:52] us are on the same page here now yesterday our friend Tyler Morales unfortunately for him I think
[1:05:57] he liked the Orioles in the series maybe like the Orioles in game one Tyler you have a chance to dig
[1:06:01] yourself out of the Baltimore Oriole sized hole will you be doing it here coming up in game number
[1:06:06] two, which starts in a little bit.
[1:06:08] Yeah, so I didn't bet the series, but I did
[1:06:10] say I like the Orioles. I was interested in buying
[1:06:12] low. I'm off that.
[1:06:13] I have no money in this series,
[1:06:16] so I'm going to trust you guys. I'm going to back the Royals
[1:06:18] here. I'll take the L. I thought
[1:06:20] the Orioles were going to come up. They showed me something in the
[1:06:22] last week. Clearly, they didn't do it yesterday,
[1:06:24] so I'll back the Royals here.
[1:06:26] I'll support you guys.
[1:06:27] Who offends you more, Tyler?
[1:06:29] The Baltimore Orioles or Deere?
[1:06:33] No, Deere.
[1:06:34] deer at least like the Orioles when they lose the leave deer just still stand there
[1:06:37] I mean to be fair Milwaukee Bucks gonna have a deer in the headlights thing going on also just
[1:06:45] staring as the train the Celtics the Sixers the Knicks etc come at them I just as an aside since
[1:06:51] Femi mentioned the Milwaukee Bucks I am starting to get very excited for the NBA which starts later this month and we will have NBA content rolling out over the course of the next couple weeks here on the show And we do some hockey coming up next week as the hockey season dropped the puck
[1:07:07] Starts on Tuesday.
[1:07:09] How the hell did that happen?
[1:07:10] So hockey content coming up on the show next week here.
[1:07:12] Kostos Femi and the crew here on this wonderful Wednesday.
[1:07:16] If you are listeners and viewers, if you'd like to ride with us here on the Kansas City Royals,
[1:07:20] Bet MGM plus 125 on the Royals coming up.
[1:07:24] 10 minutes first pitch in Baltimore against the Orioles.”
2-1 — Kansas City beat Baltimore 2-1 in AL Wild Card Game 2, sweeping the series (ESPN box score).
Sterling Shepard anytime touchdown (+500)
“[1:10:25] Lo and behold, the number three wide receiver for Tampa Bay tomorrow,
[1:10:29] and like Giants fans will laugh when I say this name,
[1:10:32] is former New York Giants and former Oklahoma Sooner,
[1:10:37] Boomer Sooner with Baker Mayfield.
[1:10:39] Not Sterling Sharp, but Sterling Shepard will be the number three receiver tomorrow for Tampa.
[1:10:46] Again, Trey Palmer is priced in the market.
[1:10:50] He's not playing.
[1:10:51] Sterling Shepard's plus 500 right now.
[1:10:53] That will not be his price tomorrow.
[1:10:56] Sterling Shepard plus 500 anytime touchdown for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”
Sterling Shepard caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield in Atlanta's 36-30 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football (ESPN box score). (1 receiving TD (4 yds))
J.K. Dobbins to win Comeback Player of the Year (+2200)
“[2:51:21] Give him 1200 yards,
[2:51:22] 10 touchdowns hard to go away from him.
[2:51:25] Yeah.
[2:51:25] I bet Dobbins at 22 to one before the season.
[2:51:27] I do like Dobbins,
[2:51:28] but I think if you're betting right now,
[2:51:30] I think like you,
[2:51:32] you wait for Nick Chubb to come back.
[2:51:33] Cause Chubb said a longer price than Dobbins.
[2:51:35] Like the time to bet Dobbins was before the season,
[2:51:37] make the bet that he'll emerge as the Chargers.
[2:51:39] Number one running back.
[2:51:40] Not that he can't win.
[2:51:41] I mean,
[2:51:41] I have a better numbers.
[2:51:43] That would be my analysis there.”
Joe Burrow won the 2024 AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year award; J.K. Dobbins did not win it (Wikipedia, citing the AP awards announcement).
New York Mets
“[2:54:52] First with the Mets and the Brewers.
[2:54:53] I think the Mets are the National League.
[2:54:55] Hashtag team of destiny.
[2:54:57] Love the Mets to wrap it up tonight in Milwaukee.
[2:55:00] Frankie Montas.
[2:55:01] I'm a Yankee fan telling you this.
[2:55:02] Trust me.
[2:55:03] Frankie Montas doesn't have it in the big spot.
[2:55:05] I think Sean Minaya outduels Montas.
[2:55:07] Give me the Mets to win tonight in advance to the National League Division Series.
[2:55:11] Femi, Mets and Brewers, what do you got?”
5-3 — Brewers beat Mets 5-3 in NL Wild Card Game 2, so New York's moneyline lost (ESPN box score).
San Diego Padres (-125)
“[2:56:43] Padres and Braves.
[2:56:43] We all like the Mets.
[2:56:44] Padres and Braves.
[2:56:46] Padres minus 125.
[2:56:47] Braves plus 105.
[2:56:48] Musgrove and Freed.
[2:56:49] The pitching matchup total, six and a half.
[2:56:51] Padres win.
[2:56:52] They advance to the NLDS to take on the Dodgers.
[2:56:54] And I'm going to bet the Padres here to close things out against Max Freed

“[57:27] Georgia, about a one-and-a-half point favorite in this game.
[57:30] And the more I think about this game, I think a lot of people have brought up this week,
[57:36] And in the last few weeks, Georgia very nearly losing to Kentucky a couple weeks ago
[57:43] as a reason to maybe like Alabama in the game.
[57:45] A point spread is basically a coin flip.
[57:47] I understand people that would like Alabama.
[57:49] I go back to the season opener where Georgia stuffed Clemson in a locker,
[57:56] like a five-star, like a swirly for Clemson in that game from Georgia.
[58:02] Fast forward now a couple weeks, end of September, Clemson's kind of the team du jour.
[58:06] offense looks unstoppable,
[58:08] destroyed NC State last week.
[58:11] Georgia made them look silly earlier this season.
[58:14] And I know look-aheads are like, whatever,
[58:16] you can't bet a lot of money into them,
[58:18] but they can be a decent talking point
[58:20] for conversation on a sports betting show.
[58:22] And just as a frame of reference,
[58:24] Georgia was gonna be more than a three-point favorite
[58:26] in this game.
[58:27] Now we sit Georgia minus one and a half.
[58:29] I think Bama can win, obviously, like I said.
[58:31] Betting market's a coin flip.
[58:33] I think anything below three,
[58:35] I'm going to like Georgia in the game.
[58:37] Give me Kirby Smart.
[58:38] Give me the Georgia Bulldogs.
[58:40] And I expect Carson Beck to outplay Jalen Milrow on Saturday.

[58:48] game of the weekend, and the game of the early season in college football.”

[59:00] Mostly has gone well.
[59:01] I bet A&M in week one.
[59:03] That was a disaster.
[59:04] I think Femi might be like the king of Notre Dame betting.
[59:08] Curious what he likes in this game.
[59:10] I look at this game.
[59:11] Irish is 6.5 point favorite, 45.5 the total.
[59:14] Unfortunately, Notre Dame is not laying like 30 and we can bet Louisville.
[59:18] The fade Marcus Freeman as a big favorite.
[59:19] Obviously, that would never be a spread.
[59:21] People understand what I'm saying.
[59:23] I think I love the Irish in this game.
[59:26] I look at Louisville's win last week against Georgia Tech.
[59:29] And if you actually look at the box score of this game,
[59:31] Georgia Tech outplayed Louisville in the game.
[59:34] The critical play of the game, a special teams touchdown by Louisville off a blocked kick.
[59:38] I think we're getting the Irish slightly undervalued here under a touchdown.
[59:42] I'm looking forward to betting on Marcus Freeman.
[59:45] Not as a huge favorite.
[59:46] I just need Notre Dame to win by seven.
[59:48] Give me the Notre Dame fighting Irish laying the six and a half against Louisville.”

“[1:00:52] a few days ago when we were talking

[1:00:59] LSU's offense and Garrett
[1:01:02] Nussmeyer. South Alabama's
[1:01:04] offense, the South Alabama Jaguars

“[2:21:34] Okay, Steelers and the Colts, no play for me on this game side or total.
[2:21:38] If I had to bet the game, I actually think I would play the plus money on the money line with Indianapolis
[2:21:43] and hope I get a better game from Anthony Richardson.
[2:21:45] I think this is a fact-finding mission for me.
[2:21:48] Is Anthony Richardson capable of playing well this season?
[2:21:51] I don't know the answer, so I have to pass the game.
[2:21:53] But I will say I'll give at least one prop out now for Sunday.

[2:22:05] George Pickens receiving yards.
[2:22:08] No way is this right for George Pickens.
[2:22:11] He's awesome.
[2:22:12] The Colts boundary cornerbacks are absolutely terrible.
[2:22:15] DJ Moore and Roma Dunze both lit that ass up this weekend.

[2:24:03] when he came on the show and talked about Washington being valuable at plus three and a half.
[2:24:07] You have to lay some juice to bet Washington plus three and a half right now,
[2:24:10] and you can do that if you want.
[2:24:12] I'd prefer to lean into variance if we think the Commanders can win this game.

[2:55:29] year three here under Brian Dable and Joe Shane. Giants plus the points, and I back that up with
[2:55:35] a bet on the Giants to win this game on the money line. And to be fair, for as bullish as I might be
[2:55:40] on the Giants tonight, the bet is more about being bearish on the Dallas Cowboys and not liking the
[2:55:45] Cowboys. People will say, well, what if Dallas front runs gets a lead? I don't think Dallas is
[2:55:49] good enough to do that. Just my personal opinion. So Giants plus the points, Giants to win the game.

Arsenal to win Premier League (+138)
“[2:31:37] But right now, I have a futures bet for people in the English Premier League
[2:31:42] in this edition, guys, of Nicky Football.
[2:31:45] Are you ready?
[2:31:47] Nick travels around the world to find you a soccer winner.
[2:31:50] It's time for Nicky Football Soccer Bets here on You Better You Bet.
[2:31:55] Goal!
[2:31:59] Oh, yeah.
[2:32:01] You know, the vibes of the song are really good.
[2:32:03] The bets, unfortunately, this weekend, not so great.
[2:32:05] Chelsea did win.
[2:32:07] Tough luck loser on the under in Tottenham and Brentford.
[2:32:11] And then no real chance on the under in Arsenal City.
[2:32:14] But still, we can groove.
[2:32:33] Femi loves him a good futures bet.
[2:32:34] Ready for this one, buddy?
[2:32:37] Oh, yeah.
[2:32:37] Feel pretty good about this.
[2:32:38] So Manchester City, and in case you missed this, I see why am I?
[2:32:43] You probably did because, you know, NFL games were about to start.
[2:32:46] Manchester City and Arsenal played yesterday at the Etihad, which is where Man City play.
[2:32:49] Man City have won the Premier League the last, like, 19 seasons, exaggerating by a little bit.
[2:32:54] Arsenal have finished second the last two seasons.
[2:32:56] So this is a huge early season game.
[2:32:59] City are trailing 2-1.
[2:33:01] Arsenal get a red card before right at the stroke of halftime.
[2:33:05] Have to play the entire second half of man down.
[2:33:07] Defend like hell the entire second half.
[2:33:10] And Man City in the 98th minute, like the 90th minute plus eight minutes of extra time,
[2:33:15] John Stones equalizes final score City 2, Arsenal 2.
[2:33:19] So you might come out of that and think, wow, like City really pulled it out of the fire.
[2:33:23] They're the title favorites.
[2:33:24] You got to feel good about them.
[2:33:27] Maybe not.
[2:33:27] Rodri
[2:33:29] who people don't know
[2:33:31] because Erling Haaland's on Man City
[2:33:32] and he's the guy that scores all the goals
[2:33:34] Rodri is actually probably right now
[2:33:36] the best soccer player in the world
[2:33:38] one of the favorites to win the Ballon d'Or
[2:33:40] he won player of the tournament
[2:33:42] in Euro 2024 for Spain
[2:33:44] he is the best holding midfielder in the world
[2:33:46] and the stats all bear this out
[2:33:48] Rodri is a tremendous player
[2:33:49] got hurt yesterday during the game
[2:33:51] all the reports that came out prior to the show
[2:33:54] hitting the air today
[2:33:55] torn ACL for Rodri
[2:33:57] could obviously miss an extended period of time.
[2:34:00] Since Rodri joined Manchester City,
[2:34:02] they have lost one-third of their league games
[2:34:05] in the Premier League without him,
[2:34:06] which is a lot when you consider, like,
[2:34:08] Man City has been the best team in the Premier League for a long time.
[2:34:11] Now, he didn't play in the first three games this season.
[2:34:14] Two of those games were against Minnows,
[2:34:16] and one was against Chelsea in the opener.
[2:34:18] Chelsea's a good team, but I watched that game.
[2:34:20] I'm a Chelsea fan, I'm telling you.
[2:34:21] I'm not saying Chelsea should have won.
[2:34:22] They should have scored multiple times in that game,
[2:34:25] like, could not finish in front of the net.
[2:34:27] and we now have one Arsenal-City game in the books,
[2:34:31] and these are the two best teams,
[2:34:32] and they drew at Man City.
[2:34:35] So they'll play again at the Emirates,
[2:34:37] where Arsenal play,
[2:34:39] and Arsenal are going to have the advantage here.
[2:34:41] They are both right now plus 138
[2:34:44] to win the Premier League,
[2:34:45] identical price for both Manchester City and Arsenal.
[2:34:49] I think Arsenal's the best team.
[2:34:51] I would bet Arsenal way before I bet Man City.
[2:34:53] Man City's without its best player now in Rodri,
[2:34:56] and Arsenal get City at home later this season.
[2:34:59] I think this is the year where Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta,
[2:35:03] who played at Arsenal but then coached under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City,
[2:35:07] I think this is the year that the student finally bests the teacher,
[2:35:11] bests the master, and the Gunners win the Premier League for the first time
[2:35:15] since Arsene Wenger was in charge a long, long time ago.”

[1:14:14] where they struggle at least now to win games by margin.

Oklahoma Sooners +7.5
“[1:28:43] They're seven and a half on the road at Brent Venables in Oklahoma in Oklahoma's first ever game in the SEC.
[1:28:51] Seven and a half.
[1:28:53] I feel like we have hashtag gone too far.
[1:28:57] We've gone too far with Nico in Tennessee.
[1:28:59] I'm not saying Oklahoma's going to win the game, but you give Brent Venables a week to prepare here.
[1:29:04] I just lose by a touchdown and I win my bet.
[1:29:06] Boomer sooner.
[1:29:07] Give me Oklahoma plus.
[1:29:09] Seven and a half against Nico in Tennessee coming up on Saturday in Norman.”

Carolina Panthers +7
“[1:54:32] I did like Femi, and our audience, you, should be, unless you're really new, welcome,
[1:54:37] should be trained at this point that you see that news go out there
[1:54:39] and take seven with Carolina.
[1:54:40] I was able to do that.”
CAR 36-LV 22 — Panthers beat Raiders 36-22; Carolina Panthers +7 (winning outright) covers.
Miami Dolphins +6.5
“[1:56:19] Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
[1:56:20] I would say we've been doing the show for too long,
[1:56:21] that, like, we have the same opinions, but that's not even true.
[1:56:24] I agree.
[1:56:25] I thought six and a half was a wild number in this game, took it with Miami.
[1:56:28] I kind of alluded to that, by the way, on Friday.”
SEA 24-MIA 3 — Seahawks beat Dolphins 24-3; Miami Dolphins +6.5 (losing by 21) busts.
Under 2.5

Bijan Robinson over 64.5 rushing yards
“[2:56:58] Let's do a bet square, don't care.
[2:57:01] After what we saw the Eagles' run defense look like last week,
[2:57:03] B. John's awesome.
[2:57:04] Tyler Algier might be more involved.
[2:57:06] You can play Tyler Algier anytime touchdown if you want.
[2:57:08] B. John Robinson, I'll stand with my guy, big ticket show.
[2:57:11] B. John, over 64.5 rushing yards and one touchdown prop.”
ATL 22-PHI 21 — Bijan Robinson rushed for 97 yards against Philadelphia, clearing the 64.5 line. (Bijan Robinson: 97 rushing yards)
Will Shipley last touchdown
“[2:57:16] If the Eagles are going to win by margin tonight,
[2:57:18] if the Eagles are going to win by margin tonight,
[2:57:21] we are going to see either Kenny Gainwell or Will Shipley be the running back
[2:57:25] at the end of the game, not Saquon Barkley.
[2:57:29] This Will Shipley last touchdown price looking pretty, pretty juicy.
[2:57:32] So heat check for the prop king after hitting with Braylon Allen yesterday.
[2:57:36] If you like the Eagles in the game, Will Shipley to score the last touchdown.
[2:57:42] Will Shipley to score the last touchdown.”
Drake London caught the game's final touchdown, a 7-yard score with 34 seconds left, not Will Shipley. (Final touchdown scorer: Drake London (7-yard TD catch))
First five innings under 4.5
“[2:15:30] For me, I'm going to keep riding this train here on these Yankees' first five unders.
[2:15:34] Clark Schmidt and Tanner Hawk tonight.
[2:15:36] Yankees and Red Sox' first five under four and a half is, I'll tell you,
[2:15:39] Baseball has been very, very good to me.
[2:15:41] It's been awesome.
[2:15:42] And for my home run prop for tonight, I promise this is the last time I'm taking this.
[2:15:46] He's so due at this point.
[2:15:48] Like, they're just going to schedule him for a C-section.
[2:15:51] We're way late at this point for an Aaron Judge home run.
[2:15:54] It's been like 20 straight games or something, only exaggerating by a little.
[2:15:58] Tonight is the night that Aaron Judge goes yard.
[2:16:00] Now, you might be saying, how's Aaron Judge going to go yard and the first five is going to go under?
[2:16:04] Because I don't have faith in the rest of the Yankees lineup.
[2:16:06] And I don't have faith in the Red Sox lineup either.
[2:16:08] And they're going to play tight games the rest of the season.
[2:16:10] Judge Homer, first five under, four and a half.”
Red Sox 0, Yankees 0 (through 5 innings) — Boston and New York were scoreless through five innings (0-0), staying under 4.5 (ESPN box score linescore).

[2:16:08] And they're going to play tight games the rest of the season.
[2:16:10] Judge Homer, first five under, four and a half.
[2:16:13] My baseball bets for tonight to go along with Femi and friends.”
Yankees 5, Red Sox 4 — Aaron Judge hit a 7th-inning grand slam against Boston (ESPN box score). (Aaron Judge: 1 home run)
Indiana Hoosiers -3
“[2:09:40] But would you believe me if I told you that before Sam Paniatovic talked about Indiana and Tyler talked about Indiana,
[2:09:46] I had identified Indiana as a bet for this weekend.
[2:09:50] You shouldn't believe it.
[2:09:51] I'm lying.
[2:09:51] But I think the handicap makes a ton of sense.
[2:09:53] I will also lay the three with the Hoosiers at UCLA.
[2:09:57] I will take four with Florida.”
Indiana 42, UCLA 13 — Indiana beat UCLA 42-13; the Hoosiers (-3) won by 29, covering the spread (ESPN box score).

[2:10:00] Now the time's by.
[2:10:02] Mike Elko, terrible for Texas A&M.
[2:10:04] Florida plus four home dog against Texas A&M.
[2:10:07] I took BC earlier in the week at 17, 14 and a half.”
Texas A&M 33, Florida 20 — Texas A&M beat Florida 33-20; the Gators (+4) lost by 13, missing the cover (ESPN box score).
Isaac Guerendo to score a touchdown
“[1:45:54] I think it's going to create
[1:45:55] and I'm just going to see
[1:45:56] what we have right now here
[1:45:57] we'll bring Sam on the show
[1:45:58] in a second

[1:46:05] moving forward
[1:46:06] yeah the market's down
[1:46:08] but I think
[1:46:09] I'll just tell everyone
[1:46:10] right now
[1:46:10] we'll have Garendo
[1:46:11] and Patrick Taylor Jr.
[1:46:12] anytime touchdowns
[1:46:13] for San Francisco
[1:46:14] on Sunday
[1:46:14] on the road

Detroit Lions — Survivor
“[2:18:23] Tyler, you in on the Lions?
[2:18:26] Yeah, I mean, why risk it with the Giants?
[2:18:28] Like, we're getting cute in like in week two.
[2:18:30] I feel like we got cute last week, and we happened to win easy.
[2:18:33] So let's take the Lions.
[2:18:34] You know what?
[2:18:36] Yeah, I'm not going to say what I'm going to say.
[2:18:37] Let's take the Lions.
[2:18:37] I don't want to jinx anything.
[2:18:38] All right, so we will restore the roar, and hopefully we fired the cannons last week,
[2:18:42] and hopefully we sink the battleship.
[2:18:44] We sink the pirate ship with Detroit this week.
[2:18:46] Detroit, the official You Better You Bet survivor play for week number two at home
[2:18:50] against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”
Buccaneers 20, Lions 16 — Tampa Bay beat Detroit 20-16, so the Lions survivor pick lost (ESPN box score).
Los Angeles Chargers -5.5
“[2:27:18] Yeah, I I'll lay five and a half with the Chargers.
[2:27:20] If we get I'll see where the line goes.
[2:27:22] I don't want to lay six, but there's no number where I bet Carolina in this game.
[2:27:26] I think the Chargers offensive line is going to dominate Carolina.
[2:27:30] I think the Chargers defensive line is going to dominate Carolina.
[2:27:34] I'll be the square here.
[2:27:35] I think Carolina, and I was on Carolina last week.
[2:27:39] Last week, Carolina was like the fake sharp side.
[2:27:41] I got got by Carolina.
[2:27:44] This week, I will not get got.
[2:27:46] I'm doing the gotting.
[2:27:47] Does that make sense?
[2:27:48] Give me the Chargers here.
[2:27:49] I will lay the points with the Chargers on the road in Carolina.”
Chargers 26, Panthers 3 — Los Angeles beat Carolina 26-3; the Chargers (-5.5) won by 23, covering the spread (ESPN box score).
Detroit Lions -1.5 and Houston Texans -0.5 teaser
- Detroit Lions
- Houston Texans
“[2:35:13] I'll give you a bad mathematical teaser that I like for this week.
[2:35:18] I would absolutely, absolutely tease this game.
[2:35:22] Tease Detroit down to one and a half, and I would pair them with the Texans to win.
[2:35:27] Texans minus a half on Sunday Night Football.
[2:35:29] Again, not a great mathematical teaser, but that's a teaser that I'll probably replace.
[2:35:32] Lions and Texans, oh my, coming up this weekend.”
Detroit lost 20-16 to Tampa Bay, so the Lions -1.5 teased leg lost and the two-team teaser lost (Houston did cover its -0.5 teased leg, beating Chicago 19-13, but both legs are required) (ESPN box scores). (Buccaneers 20, Lions 16; Texans 19, Bears 13)
Indianapolis Colts
“[2:37:07] All right.
[2:37:07] So you don't know who's going to win.
[2:37:09] I do.
[2:37:10] The team that doesn't have Malik Willis playing for them.
[2:37:13] I think where I've done playing this game is I'm going to bet the cheapest Colts money line.
[2:37:19] And I'll be the huge square with a Colts money line ticket, like a big Colts money line ticket.
[2:37:23] I think the Colts win this game.
[2:37:25] Um, yeah, like, listen, you can be as square as you want.
[2:37:28] Also, like, I'd like to win money, and I'd like to bet against Malik Willis to win a football game to do that.
[2:37:32] With a well-coached team on the—it's not like Shane Steichen's a dummy.
[2:37:37] Colts are going to win the game, and if this goes down to, like, two and a half or two, minus 110,
[2:37:42] I'll back up my money line bet, and I'll lay the Colts also.”
Packers 16, Colts 10 — Green Bay beat Indianapolis 16-10, so the Colts moneyline lost (ESPN box score).
Under 38.5
“[2:43:21] I going to have like a little like off the wall play Not an off the wall play but it something you probably not expecting I was reading about the Patriots and their game plan against Cincinnati earlier this week and just like a bunch of NFL content
[2:43:32] And it seems like the purveying thought after one week of NFL football
[2:43:36] this season is that maybe we've reached a point where defenses
[2:43:42] have caught up to offenses, and where like the real innovation now
[2:43:47] with coaching in the NFL is on the defensive side of the ball,
[2:43:50] and that for the first time in 20 years,
[2:43:53] since Bill Belichick was the coach,
[2:43:54] is not a knock on Belichick.
[2:43:55] Greatest coach ever, greatest DC ever.
[2:43:57] The Patriots are running different stuff on defense
[2:43:59] and they took a couple concepts from Mike McDonald
[2:44:03] that he used last year with the Baltimore Ravens.
[2:44:07] It's Mike McDonald against Jacoby Brissett
[2:44:10] and there's a chance that like that Gerard Mayo
[2:44:13] is an awesome defensive coach
[2:44:15] against a Seahawks offense,
[2:44:18] probably without Kenneth Walker
[2:44:21] that failed to get JSN going last week
[2:44:24] against the Denver Broncos.
[2:44:27] Christian Gonzalez can stick on DK Metcalf.
[2:44:30] I'm going to play the under in this game.
[2:44:32] It's really low.
[2:44:33] Maybe not low enough.
[2:44:35] Give me the under coming up
[2:44:36] with the Patriots and the Seahawks
[2:44:37] under 38 and a half.
[2:44:39] And I'm just checking the weather here.”
Patriots 20, Seahawks 23 — Seattle beat New England 23-20 in overtime (43 combined points), exceeding the 38.5 under (ESPN box score).
Colby Parkinson to score a touchdown (+350)
“[2:49:11] Colby Parkinson is plus 350.”
Cardinals 41, Rams 10 — Colby Parkinson did not score a touchdown; the Rams' only touchdown went to Kyren Williams (ESPN box score). (Colby Parkinson: 0 touchdowns)
Jordan Whittington to score a touchdown
“[2:49:31] Whittington got an end around down by the goal line, honestly.”
Cardinals 41, Rams 10 — Jordan Whittington did not score a touchdown; the Rams' only touchdown went to Kyren Williams (ESPN box score). (Jordan Whittington: 0 touchdowns)
Ronnie Rivers to score a touchdown (+650)
“[2:49:17] Sean McVay has said that the reason
[2:49:18] why Kyron Williams played so much
[2:49:20] is because the offensive lineman went out
[2:49:21] and he trusted Kyron.
[2:49:23] Wants to get Blake Corum more involved.
[2:49:25] Ronnie Rivers is plus 650.
[2:49:27] And where is Coram even listed here?
[2:49:30] And Coram is plus 850.
[2:49:31] Whittington got an end around down by the goal line, honestly.
[2:49:35] I was going to say.
[2:49:36] Yeah, the Rams.
[2:49:38] So Parkinson, Whittington, Rivers, Corum.
[2:49:42] I like all as touchdown bets for beer or pizza money for the Rams this weekend.”
Cardinals 41, Rams 10 — Ronnie Rivers did not score a touchdown; the Rams' only touchdown went to Kyren Williams (ESPN box score). (Ronnie Rivers: 0 touchdowns)
Blake Corum to score a touchdown (+850)
“[2:49:23] Wants to get Blake Corum more involved.
[2:49:25] Ronnie Rivers is plus 650.
[2:49:27] And where is Coram even listed here?
[2:49:30] And Coram is plus 850.
[2:49:31] Whittington got an end around down by the goal line, honestly.
[2:49:35] I was going to say.
[2:49:36] Yeah, the Rams.
[2:49:38] So Parkinson, Whittington, Rivers, Corum.
[2:49:42] I like all as touchdown bets for beer or pizza money for the Rams this weekend.”
Cardinals 41, Rams 10 — Blake Corum did not score a touchdown; the Rams' only touchdown went to Kyren Williams (ESPN box score). (Blake Corum: 0 touchdowns)
Chelsea (+105)
“[2:32:14] So bet number one comes from the Chelsea Bournemouth game this weekend.
[2:32:17] So Chelsea, a bit of an up and down start to the season.
[2:32:19] Drew Crystal Palace before the international break won one.
[2:32:23] And now taking on a Bournemouth team.
[2:32:24] The last time we saw Bournemouth, in case people missed this, you probably did.
[2:32:27] They played Everton before the international break.
[2:32:29] We're down 2-0 in like the 89th minute and came back to win the game.
[2:32:32] It was like the most the team's ever been down that late in the game in the history of the Premier League that came back to win.
[2:32:38] So Bournemouth feeling good about itself heading into the international break.
[2:32:41] But they're taking on a Chelsea team that is well rested.
[2:32:44] And I think because I watched all three of their games from start to finish, they've got issues finishing in front of the net.
[2:32:50] They've got issues in defense.
[2:32:52] But they are always, always, always in attack.
[2:32:55] And I think that Bournemouth is going to give up goals in bunches here.
[2:32:58] So bet number one, we need to make sure just very quickly, we think Cole Palmer,
[2:33:02] Cole Palmer, we think Cole Palmer is going to play in this game.
[2:33:05] Let's make sure on Saturday morning, like when we get to starting 11,
[2:33:09] that Cole Palmer is going to play.
[2:33:10] If and when he's in the lineup, I'm expecting it.
[2:33:12] Green light go, blue light go on Chelsea, the Blues,
[2:33:17] plus 105 currently the price on Chelsea to win this game.
[2:33:20] We might see Jadon Sancho make his debut at some point in this game”
Bournemouth 0, Chelsea 1 — Chelsea beat Bournemouth 1-0, so the Chelsea moneyline won (ESPN match report).
Under 3 goals
“[2:33:27] Best bet numero dos for Nicky Football this weekend in the Prem.
[2:33:30] Let's go to the North London Derby with Arsenal and Tottenham.
[2:33:33] DeBundo talked about this in the last segment.
[2:33:35] Now, Anthony likes Tottenham a little bit.
[2:33:36] I think it makes sense.
[2:33:37] Arsenal dealing with injuries and suspensions.
[2:33:39] They're amazing midfield.
[2:33:41] Odegaard and Declan Rice are both going to be out for this game.
[2:33:44] Gabriel Jesus out for this game for Arsenal.
[2:33:47] And as a result, Mikel Arteta, the excellent Arsenal manager,
[2:33:50] is going to have to shuffle his players, maybe play Kai Havertz,
[2:33:53] normally the number nine, play Havertz in midfield,
[2:33:56] which has a lot of people liking Tottenham in the game.
[2:33:58] And I'm not here to tell you that I want to bet on Arsenal.
[2:34:01] That's not what I'm saying.
[2:34:02] But what I think we will see from a really smart tactical coach in Mikel Arteta,
[2:34:06] knowing that he's not going to be able to put the usual firepower out there on the pitch against Tottenham,
[2:34:11] Tottenham can get up and down and score some goals,
[2:34:13] I think we're going to see Arsenal try and slow this game down, muddy the game up.
[2:34:17] Under 3, Arsenal and Tottenham.
[2:34:20] Under 3, minus 15, Arsenal and Tottenham.
[2:34:23] And for best bet numero tres this weekend in soccer,”
Tottenham 0, Arsenal 1 — Arsenal beat Tottenham 1-0; the 1-goal total stayed under 3 (ESPN match report).
Under 3.5 goals
“[2:34:23] And for best bet numero tres this weekend in soccer,
[2:34:26] Let's go with what DiBundo said about the Liverpool-Forest game.
[2:34:29] He's right, by the way.
[2:34:30] Arna Slott, since he came over as the Liverpool manager, replacing Jurgen Klopp.
[2:34:33] Totals for Liverpool.
[2:34:35] They still have the great attackers up front, led by Mo Salah, Diaz, and others.
[2:34:38] That Liverpool totals look like they did when Klopp was the manager.
[2:34:42] They're playing a different style now.
[2:34:44] Haven't allowed, haven't conceded yet this season.
[2:34:46] Have not allowed a goal in three games.
[2:34:48] Let's go under three, three and a half with Liverpool and Forest.
[2:34:51] So again, Chelsea to win against Bournemouth.
[2:34:53] Under three, Arsenal and Tottenham.
[2:34:55] and the under with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
[2:34:57] Three bets to start the Premier League campaign from your boy, Nicky Football.”
Liverpool 0, Nottingham Forest 1 — Nottingham Forest beat Liverpool 1-0; the 1-goal total stayed under 3.5 (ESPN match report).
Under 5
“[2:41:01] They played tonight.
[2:41:03] I will play Yankees, Red Sox, first five, under five.
[2:41:06] I think the Yankees are going to play a specific type of game
[2:41:09] for the rest of the season where it's all going to come down to the wire.
[2:41:13] I don't see the offense playing really well here.
[2:41:16] And I think Nestor Cortez is going to come to pitch tonight.
[2:41:18] And he's taken a lot of heat here locally in New York for his comments when he's pulled out of the rotation.
[2:41:22] I think we get a good game from Nestor Cortez tonight.
[2:41:25] I think this game is tight going into the later innings.
[2:41:27] Who's going to win? I'm not sure.
[2:41:28] But I don't think it's going to be a high-scoring game, especially not early.
[2:41:32] So Yankees-Red Sox, first five, under five for me tonight in Major League Baseball.”
Red Sox 1, Yankees 1 (through 5 innings) — Boston and New York combined for 2 runs through five innings (1-1), staying under 5 (ESPN box score linescore).
Aaron Judge to hit a home run
“[2:43:51] All right?
[2:43:51] Definitely.
[2:43:52] uh,
[2:43:53] something like his daddy.
[2:43:53] Uh,
[2:43:54] I'll go with,
[2:43:54] uh,
[2:43:54] with big,
[2:43:55] uh,
[2:43:56] for me tonight for the,
[2:43:57] for the home run parlay,
[2:43:58] it's been 15 games.
[2:44:00] Someone slammed down the gavel.
[2:44:02] It's time.
[2:44:03] It's time.
[2:44:04] And honestly,
[2:44:05] I had way too much going on today.
[2:44:06] There'd be a hashtag in the lab working on the home run parlay.
[2:44:09] So let's go with the low hanging fruit.
[2:44:10] The judge,
[2:44:12] the future AL MVP,
[2:44:14] Aaron judge.
[2:44:14] Okay.
[2:44:15] Matt Chapman,
[2:44:16] Rafi Devers,
[2:44:17] Jackson Chourio,
[2:44:18] and Aaron judge,
[2:44:19] the home run parlay for tonight,”
Aaron Judge did not homer; the game's home runs were hit by Gleyber Torres and Danny Jansen of the Yankees (ESPN box score). (Aaron Judge: 0 home runs)
Buffalo Bills (+120)
“[2:55:58] So Femi will bet on the Miami Dolphins.
[2:56:00] I don't think we're going to see a three.
[2:56:01] So I'll bet the bills plus 120 is currently the price on the money line.
[2:56:05] Give me the bills to win the game tonight.
[2:56:06] Talked about it to start the show.
[2:56:08] Give me Buffalo.”
Bills 31, Dolphins 10 — Buffalo beat Miami 31-10, so the Bills moneyline won (ESPN box score).
James Cook over 61.5 rushing yards
“[2:57:01] One yardage prop for the prop king tonight.
[2:57:03] I think the Bills are going to run all over Miami's defense.
[2:57:06] We saw Jacksonville run all over Miami's defense this past Sunday.
[2:57:09] James Cook over 61.5 rushing yards.
[2:57:13] James Cook over 61.5 rushing yards.
[2:57:15] And let's take a couple long shot prices for anytime touchdowns like we did on Monday.”
James Cook rushed for 78 yards against Miami, clearing 61.5 (ESPN box score). (James Cook: 78 rushing yards)
Ty Johnson to score a touchdown (+1100)
“[2:57:20] Both hit.
[2:57:21] So Ty Johnson is Buffalo's number two running back right now.
[2:57:24] Ray Davis eventually will be.
[2:57:26] But Ty Johnson is actually the number two.
[2:57:28] Davis is priced like he's the two.
[2:57:30] He's not.
[2:57:31] So beer money on Ty Johnson.
[2:57:32] Ty Dolla $1, 11 to 1, anytime touchdown.
[2:57:35] And the Dolphins have a three tight end rotation.”
Ty Johnson did not score a touchdown against Miami (ESPN box score). (Ty Johnson: 0 touchdowns)
Julian Hill to score a touchdown
“[2:57:35] And the Dolphins have a three tight end rotation.
[2:57:37] Julian Hill plays the most snaps.
[2:57:39] Beer money on Julian Hill anytime touchdown.
[2:57:42] Not big bets.
[2:57:43] Ty Johnson, Julian Hill at huge prices.
[2:57:45] James Cook over rushing yards.”
Julian Hill recorded no receptions and did not score a touchdown against Buffalo (ESPN box score). (Julian Hill: 0 touchdowns)
New York Giants
“[52:10] with a bet in each of them, courtesy of your boy, Nick Costos.
[52:16] And let's start with my favorite team, the awful, the hideous New York football giants,
[52:24] who currently are a one-and-a-half-point dog or one-point dog on the road at the Washington Commanders.
[52:30] That's basically like pick the winner of the game, right?
[52:32] Total of the game is 44.
[52:34] And, you know, I killed the Giants on Monday.
[52:36] They deserve to be killed, embarrassed by Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday.
[52:40] Daniel Jones looked like he was splunking, like trying to skip a rock off a lake
[52:44] with all the passes skipping at the feet of receivers.
[52:47] Absolutely brutal.
[52:48] Brian Dable was awful.
[52:49] Hashtag Nozempic.
[52:51] As the play caller, Giants is embarrassing as it gets in the opening of hashtag Giants 100.
[52:57] But something that we have to consider here, for as bad as Daniel Jones was, and I am not a Daniel Jones apologist, I think he's terrible.
[53:04] I think he needed to be replaced a while ago as Giants quarterback.
[53:07] I do not think Daniel Jones is good.
[53:10] I don't think he should continue as Giants starting quarterback.
[53:12] But with that being said, there has to be a point in time where you have to consider betting on any quarterback in any team based on the price.
[53:21] And Femi and I talked about this on Sunday night and the show on Monday.
[53:25] Are we sure, for as bad as the Giants are, they're bad.
[53:29] For as bad as Daniel Jones is, he's worse.
[53:32] That the Giants should be underdogs on the road at the Washington Commanders.
[53:38] I love me some Jaden Daniels.
[53:41] I think Jaden Daniels is absolutely spectacular.
[53:44] I think he's going to be a great NFL quarterback.
[53:46] He's 50 times better than Daniel Jones.
[53:48] But once you get past Jaden Daniels, this Washington Commanders roster, let's call it 2 through 53 once you get past 1, the quarterback position, leaves a lot to be desired.
[54:00] And I actually think the Giants roster, 1 through 53, might be a lot better than Washington's.
[54:07] And I don't think the Giants are very good.
[54:09] The Commanders offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL.
[54:13] The Commanders secondary on Sunday made Baker Mayfield look like Joe Montana.
[54:18] And I like Baker Mayfield.
[54:19] We had the Bucs in Survivor.
[54:20] It was awesome.
[54:21] But Baker Mayfield, how many games this season is Shake and Bake going 24 of 30 for 289,
[54:26] four touchdowns and no picks?
[54:28] I think some of that has to do, we would agree, right, with the horrendous Washington Commanders
[54:32] secondary.
[54:33] So what's going to happen on Sunday when Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeau and Sexy Dexy line
[54:38] up across this Washington offensive line?
[54:41] How's it going to go?
[54:42] What's going to happen on Sunday when Cliff Kingsbury, handsome but oatmeal for brains,
[54:46] leaves Terry McLaurin, like the only viable receiver on this team.
[54:50] He never moves the entire game.
[54:52] He stays in one spot, easy to remove from the game plan.
[54:55] Is anyone concerned about Luke McCaffrey in the slot?
[55:00] Not Christian McCaffrey.
[55:02] Not even Ed McCaffrey.
[55:05] Luke McCaffrey.
[55:07] Is anyone concerned about Zach Ertz, who I think can now file for Social Security?
[55:13] Is anyone concerned about Zach Ertz or Austin Eckler?
[55:17] I mean, give me a break here.
[55:19] Malik Neighbors is going to run circles around the secondary,
[55:21] and Daniel Jones, I think, will actually stay upright
[55:24] and be able to get him the ball.
[55:25] Like, again, I think the Giants are awful.
[55:28] I think Daniel Jones is awful,
[55:30] but I think the Commanders might be worse.
[55:32] I like the Giants to win the game on Sunday in our nation's capital.
[55:36] And by the way, I love Jaden Daniels, like I said.”
WSH 21, NYG 18 — Commanders beat the Giants 21-18; Giants moneyline busts (ESPN box score).
Denver Broncos +3
“[58:18] Betters on Sunday wanted to go their own way, you know,
[58:22] because he was absolutely terrible.
[58:23] He can't throw the ball anywhere.
[58:25] But when it comes to this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers,
[58:29] I can't stop thinking about the Sunday.
[58:33] Do you know why?
[58:34] I bet Pittsburgh on Sunday against Atlanta.
[58:37] They won.
[58:39] It was great.
[58:40] Had confidence in Justin Fields.
[58:42] There is, however, a huge difference, a seismic difference between taking four points on the road with Justin Fields
[58:53] and laying three points on the road at altitude with Justin Fields.
[59:00] Justin Fields has started 21 games in his NFL career on the road,
[59:05] has never been favored in any of them.
[59:09] And people want to line up to lay it with the Steelers in this spot.
[59:13] And again, I understand that Bo Nix couldn't throw the ball
[59:16] more than like 10 yards down the field.
[59:17] I understand.
[59:19] Also, like they covered the spread at the closing number
[59:21] against the Seattle Seas.
[59:22] It wasn't all terrible for the Denver Broncos.
[59:24] So like I get why people might be pessimistic with Denver.
[59:28] just again think about it.
[59:30] this. Justin Fields, Justin Fields on the road laying three. Justin Fields on the road at altitude
[59:41] laying three. You really interested in that? Not saying it can't happen, just saying I wouldn't
[59:49] bet on it. And for what it's worth, like TJ Watt and the Steelers defense is five million times
[59:53] better than Bo Nix. Sean Payton's going to devise a game plan to get the ball out of Bo Nix hand,
[59:57] get Bo Nix moving.
[59:58] Kirk Cousins an absolute sitting duck last week.
[1:00:01] Bo Nix at least has some wheels and can move.
[1:00:04] So bet numero trace, bad quarterback numero trace.
[1:00:07] The Broncos at three or better at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.”
PIT 13, DEN 6 — Steelers beat the Broncos 13-6; Denver lost outright, well shy of covering +3 (ESPN box score).
Malik Nabers over 62.5 receiving yards
“[1:52:41] so I agree thoughts about it in the open of the show I'll also add Malik neighbors yardage prop
[1:52:48] for this weekend is 62 and a half.
[1:52:51] He's going over that in the first half.
[1:52:54] You better, you bet.”
Malik Nabers caught 10 passes for 127 receiving yards against Washington, clearing 62.5 (ESPN box score). (Malik Nabers: 10 receptions, 127 receiving yards)
Alabama Crimson Tide -16
“[2:43:23] I'm with Tyler.
[2:43:24] I'll lay it with Alabama here.
[2:43:25] Like Bama sneakily like despite the final score could have lost last week to South Florida Big bounce spot for a Bama team that getting its offensive line healthy And look Tyler Van Dyke at Wisconsin I rather have Dick Van Dyke running the air raid
[2:43:37] And by the way, last time we saw Luke Fickle go against Alabama, we know how that ended.
[2:43:41] Give me the Crimson Tide laying the 16.”
ALA 42, WIS 10 — Alabama beat Wisconsin 42-10, a 32-point margin; Alabama -16 covers (ESPN box score).
Boston College Eagles +17
“[2:44:14] My second bet.
[2:44:15] This is just a bet on the head coach here.
[2:44:16] I'll take BC plus 17 on the road at Mizzou.
[2:44:19] I'll bet on Bill O'Brien being a good enough coach to figure this out
[2:44:22] and keep the game close.
[2:44:23] BC plus 17. Tyler, your”
MIZ 27, BC 21 — Missouri beat Boston College 27-21, a 6-point margin; BC +17 covers (ESPN box score).
Under 4.5
“[2:50:16] One baseball bet for me tonight.
[2:50:18] I'll actually go oppo taco with Jake here a little bit.
[2:50:21] I think this is what I think is going to happen with the Yankees coming up now.
[2:50:24] I think this is going to be a tight game tonight.
[2:50:26] I think they're going to lose at the end.
[2:50:27] I think it's going to be a low-scoring game.
[2:50:28] So give me the first five under tonight with Luis Gil,
[2:50:31] an important start for AL Rookie of the Year.
[2:50:32] We'll talk about that market and more baseball on the show tomorrow,
[2:50:36] a more open edition of the show tomorrow.
[2:50:37] I was off yesterday, crammed a lot of football in today, got the chance to do some more stuff tomorrow.
[2:50:42] Heal and Cole Reagans, who's been amazing recently.
[2:50:45] Give me first five under four and a half with the Yankees and the Kansas City Royals.”
Royals and Yankees combined for just 1 run through five innings, comfortably under the first-five under 4.5 (ESPN box score). (After five innings: Royals 1, Yankees 0 (1 run))
Yordan Alvarez to hit a home run
“[2:53:22] Tonight going up against the Houston Astros.
[2:53:24] Does anyone have any freaking interest
[2:53:26] in betting Jordan Alvarez to hit one to Mars tonight?
[2:53:29] Because I do.
[2:53:31] I might bet every single player
[2:53:33] in the Houston Astros
[2:53:34] that hit a home run tonight.
[2:53:35] But Jordan is the best call, I think.
[2:53:37] Joey Estes has allowed at least one home run
[2:53:41] in his last two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[2:53:44] in his last seven, and nine of his last ten starts.
[2:53:49] At least one homer.
[2:53:50] Jordan Alvarez tonight to wrap up the home run parlay.”
Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with no home run against Oakland; Kyle McCann hit the game's only home run (ESPN box score). (Yordan Alvarez: 0 home runs (2-for-4))
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the NFC South
“[1:11:08] Okay, let's get into the NFC South.
[1:11:11] I ended last segment, and I feel pretty strongly about this, and I think you disagree,
[1:11:15] that Tampa right now,
[1:11:17] also it's very funny,
[1:11:19] like BetMGM,
[1:11:20] and I haven't looked at other domestics,
[1:11:22] also BetMGM sponsors us.
[1:11:24] King of sports.
[1:11:25] Yeah, the sports were born in Vegas.
[1:11:28] Carolina, you cannot bet the Panthers
[1:11:30] to win the NFC South.
[1:11:32] BetMGM is like, you know what?
[1:11:34] We're going to do you, the better, a service.
[1:11:36] We are not going to allow you
[1:11:37] to light your money on fire
[1:11:38] to bet on this,
[1:11:39] maybe one of the worst teams
[1:11:40] we've ever seen when it's all said and done.
[1:11:43] So you can't bet Carolina.
[1:11:45] Tampa is the third choice on the board right now.
[1:11:48] I don't know.
[1:11:48] After one game, Tampa looks like the best to me.
[1:11:51] And out of the three teams, three semi-decent teams in the NFC South,
[1:11:57] Atlanta on the road in Philly on Monday Night Football, loss, right?
[1:12:01] Yeah.
[1:12:01] Most likely, loss.
[1:12:02] New Orleans on the road at Dallas, loss.
[1:12:04] Most likely, loss.
[1:12:05] Tampa on the road at Detroit.
[1:12:07] I think Tampa, and they're all big dogs,
[1:12:09] I think Tampa definitely has the best chance to win out of those three teams this week.
[1:12:13] I think Tampa's the best of these three teams, and at the longest price, I bet the Bucs today to win the NFC South.”
Tampa Bay finished the 2024 regular season 10-7 and won the NFC South division (ESPN standings). (2024 NFC South champion: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7))
Las Vegas Raiders +9.5
“[1:35:17] Ravens coming off their loss last Thursday against the Chiefs.
[1:35:19] Lamar Jackson not at practice today for Baltimore,
[1:35:22] but feel like he'll be good for Sunday.
[1:35:23] Betty Market says he will be.
[1:35:25] Ravens a nine-and-a-half point home favorite against Gardner Minshew.
[1:35:28] The clueless Antonio Pierce in the Las Vegas Raiders.
[1:35:31] Total Femi, 41-and-a-half.
[1:35:33] Can you believe he punted in that situation?
[1:35:35] Just unbelievable.
[1:35:36] But for this game, I think a coach that's going to play it super conventional like that
[1:35:40] is actually a benefit.
[1:35:41] He's not going to go for it or do anything crazy to get behind late in the game
[1:35:45] or anything like that.
[1:35:45] I think this is going to be a closer game than what the market thinks just because the matchup of that Raiders defensive line against the Baltimore Ravens offensive line.
[1:35:53] And now who knows what happens with this Lamar Jackson situation?
[1:35:56] John Harbaugh is saying that injury report comes out on Wednesday.
[1:35:58] Lamar not at practice today.
[1:36:00] Hopefully he's doing OK and it's all good.
[1:36:03] My guess is that maybe it's another illness, but we'll find out a little bit later on on Wednesday.
[1:36:06] But if you see a 10 in this game, which they have been a couple that have popped up.
[1:36:10] But if you see another 10, I think that's a buy point on the Las Vegas Raiders just to try to keep this game a little bit closer to what the market thinks with an assumption that the Ravens, they can never fall to 0-2.
[1:36:19] They'll bounce back.
[1:36:21] I think you can play against that in this particular spot.
[1:36:22] And generally, like news will hit the betting markets.
[1:36:25] And we've talked about this on the show.
[1:36:27] News will hit the betting markets sometimes way before, like the NFL insiders will tweet it out.
[1:36:31] So if you see the Raiders start to get pounded, it may be like Josh Johnson might start.
[1:36:37] I'd love a 10 also
[1:36:39] If we're going to sit in this range though
[1:36:41] I'll take the points with the Raiders
[1:36:43] I do not think this Ravens offensive line
[1:36:46] Can come close to blocking
[1:36:47] Max Crosby and the Raiders pass rush
[1:36:49] And I think that will be very problematic
[1:36:51] For Baltimore coming up on Sunday
[1:36:53] Raiders are nothing for me in that game Wow Chargers and Panthers in Carolina I looking at the board right now What a game So yeah like this open Chargers four and a half like no way like way wrong”
BAL 23, LV 26 — Las Vegas beat Baltimore 26-23 outright, easily covering the +9.5 spread (ESPN box score).
Dallas Cowboys -6.5
“[1:39:45] But Cowboys, almost a seven-point favorite at home against New Orleans.
[1:39:49] Six and a half, 15, the number at MGM.
[1:39:51] Total, 45 and a half.
[1:39:53] As long as the number's under seven, I bet Dallas.
[1:39:56] I love the Cowboys.
[1:39:58] Like, Derek Carr is going to get annihilated in this game by Micah Parsons and the Cowboys' pass rush.
[1:40:03] And I think that's the handicap for you as well.
[1:40:05] I have not bet this game, but it has to be from the defense turning over Carr into those teams.
[1:40:09] Because I do wonder a little bit about Dak Prescott against these really good defensive minds.
[1:40:13] We saw it a little bit yesterday.
[1:40:15] Now, of course, Dak didn't play in the preseason.
[1:40:17] It could have been him just kind of shaking off the rust.
[1:40:18] But you mentioned it as well in your opening monologue.
[1:40:21] Like, they averaged about four yards per play.
[1:40:22] The offense for the Cowboys wasn't that great.
[1:40:24] And, in fact, after the midway point of the second quarter, they honestly stopped playing offense.
[1:40:28] They just were doing whatever and just said, Cleveland's not going to beat us.
[1:40:30] Let's just kind of play a conservative mindset.
[1:40:32] I think it will be different in this game.
[1:40:33] But Dak Prescott against Dennis Allen could be a little bit interesting.
[1:40:37] But I think that the Dallas defense against that Saints offense is the big mismatch in this game.
[1:40:41] I think they're going to really get after Derek Carr.
[1:40:43] Mike Zimmer, so far, he has passed with flying colors for the Cowboys.
[1:40:46] Do you know what you just said?
[1:40:48] Do you know what that screams to me?
[1:40:49] What does that scream to me?
[1:40:50] Why don't we just bet the under?
[1:40:53] The over did get bet a little bit.
[1:40:54] Yeah, 45.
[1:40:56] Yeah, because the Saints scored 47 and Dallas scored 33.
[1:40:59] Dallas, 4.4 yards per play.
[1:41:01] New Orleans got to play Carolina.
[1:41:04] I don't know.
[1:41:04] I don't think this is going to be a high scoring game.
[1:41:07] I don't think it's going to be high scoring at all either.
[1:41:08] Could be an under.
[1:41:09] Yeah, 46 is the highest one in the market.
[1:41:11] Maybe we get a 47.
[1:41:13] Maybe, wow, 40 cents a smash underplay.
[1:41:16] So we'll see how this develops throughout the course of the week.
[1:41:18] I think we're looking at like Dallas 23-10, something like that in that range.
[1:41:22] I could see that.
[1:41:22] So I like the Cowboys and I like the under.”
NO 44, DAL 19 — New Orleans beat Dallas 44-19; Cowboys lose by 25, busting the -6.5 spread (ESPN box score).
Under 45.5
“[1:39:45] But Cowboys, almost a seven-point favorite at home against New Orleans.

NO 44, DAL 19 — New Orleans beat Dallas 44-19; the combined 63 points sail well over the 45.5 total (ESPN box score).
Cleveland Browns +4
“[1:48:04] I agree completely.
[1:48:05] At four, I hate Deshaun Watson, both as a player and a person.
[1:48:08] Yep.
[1:48:09] I don't like him.
[1:48:10] He's terrible.
[1:48:11] Like, no one likes him.
[1:48:12] I hate that he's so rich, but whatever.
[1:48:15] The Jaguars, like, this Jaguars team to win by margin against this defense.
[1:48:19] And I know, like, the home road splits, whatever, also had those home road splits go yesterday.
[1:48:23] Like, letting up 30-plus points.
[1:48:25] A special teams touchdown also, still.
[1:48:28] There's only one way to look here.
[1:48:29] Unfortunately, I think it's to take the four points with the Cleveland Browns.”
JAX 13, CLE 18 — Cleveland beat Jacksonville 18-13 outright, covering the +4 spread (ESPN box score).
New England Patriots +3.5
“[1:49:04] Yep.
[1:49:04] Okay.
[1:49:04] Seahawks, Patriots, Super Bowl 49 rematch.
[1:49:06] The number at BetMGM, Seattle off the win against Denver.
[1:49:10] Didn't cover the spread, the closing number.
[1:49:11] Seattle laying three and a half at the 1-0 Patriots with Gerard Mayo.
[1:49:15] Shout out to them for knocking the Bengals out of Survivor.
[1:49:17] Total is 38.
[1:49:18] Yeah, this is a game that I'm going to stay very, very far away from
[1:49:22] because I think in this spot at three and a half,
[1:49:25] there were some three and a half earlier out there in the market.
[1:49:27] Very, very tempting to back New England.
[1:49:29] I just always struggle early in the season backing teams
[1:49:32] that come off these massive upsets when everybody going into year
[1:49:35] thinks they're going to be one of the more terrible teams,
[1:49:36] and that's the New England Patriots.
[1:49:38] So I didn't want to back them in that spot,
[1:49:39] but also the Seattle side of it,
[1:49:41] that offensive line looks rough with what they're doing up front.
[1:49:44] And if they can't protect, maybe this Gerard Mayo defense,
[1:49:46] which is not devoid of talent.
[1:49:48] Like, the defense was good last year.
[1:49:49] It was good the year before that.
[1:49:51] If they can get pressure on Geno Smith,
[1:49:52] maybe it's a lower-scoring game.
[1:49:53] I agree with the move to the under,
[1:49:55] but nothing for me, side or total at this point.
[1:49:56] What do you think this game closes at?
[1:49:59] I think we hang out here at three.
[1:50:00] Three and a half or three?
[1:50:01] Three.
[1:50:03] So what I have done, you can do it also, dear listener and dear viewer.
[1:50:07] At BetMGM, MGM is currently hanging Seahawks 3.5, Patriots plus 3.5, minus 110.
[1:50:13] I placed a bet on the Patriots with the expectation I will beat the market.
[1:50:17] So I think this will close three also.
[1:50:19] So I think the 3.5 could prove valuable at this point in the week.”
NE 20, SEA 23 — Seattle beat New England 23-20 in overtime; Patriots lose by only 3, covering the +3.5 spread (ESPN box score).
Cincinnati Bengals +6
“[1:53:55] I think we'll be on the same side of this next game.
[1:53:58] The Chiefs, I don't think this number is going to exist for that much longer.
[1:54:01] Kansas City is minus six at home against the Bengals.
[1:54:04] Bengals obviously off like the pathetic loss to New England.
[1:54:07] Chiefs won the season opener and have like a mini bye.
[1:54:09] It's like more rest for Kansas City.
[1:54:11] Total is 48 and a half.
[1:54:13] For me, this is as easy as I get six with Joe Burrow.
[1:54:17] You know Burrow's coming to play in this game.
[1:54:19] We'll see about T. Higgins over the course of the week,
[1:54:21] but I think Chase will be full go.
[1:54:23] I don't think the number's going to last,
[1:54:25] so I grabbed a little of six with Cincinnati.
[1:54:27] While acknowledging, like, if Higgins doesn't play
[1:54:30] and Chase is really acrimonious,
[1:54:32] like, maybe we can reconsider at the end of the week,
[1:54:34] I just felt like this is a good number to grab on Cincinnati right now.
[1:54:37] Same. You're giving me a quarterback like Joe Burrow with six points.
[1:54:41] You just have to do it.
[1:54:42] And it doesn't feel good after what we saw yesterday,
[1:54:44] but I think that is the bet to make, at least with the news that we know right now.
[1:54:47] So Bengals plus six, making the card at this point in the week for both myself and Femi.”
KC 26, CIN 25 — Kansas City beat Cincinnati 26-25; Bengals lose by only 1, covering the +6 spread (ESPN box score).
Baltimore Orioles first five innings (+100)
“[2:39:20] All right, so a couple of first five bets for Nicky,
[2:39:22] first five tonight in Major League Baseball.
[2:39:24] The lie detector test has come through,
[2:39:26] And the lie detector determines that Brian Bellow is a lie.
[2:39:30] Cade Povich tonight, Maury's son, starting for the Baltimore Orioles,
[2:39:33] coming off a seven-inning, ten-strikeout start.
[2:39:36] And I think starting to percolate at the right time.
[2:39:38] While Brian Bellow serving him up, putting tons of guys on base with hits and walks.
[2:39:42] Give me the Orioles' first five tonight against the Red Sox.
[2:39:45] Orioles' first five, even money, plus 100 at BetMGM.
[2:39:48] And then I like Jake's thought on Festa tonight, Fiesta, Fiesta, the Minnesota Twins.”
Baltimore trailed Boston 2-4 after five innings; the Orioles first-five moneyline loses (ESPN box score). (After five innings: Orioles 2, Red Sox 4)
First five innings under 4
“[2:39:48] And then I like Jake's thought on Festa tonight, Fiesta, Fiesta, the Minnesota Twins.
[2:39:53] Also, Reid Detmers is coming off a really nice start for the Angels.
[2:39:56] I'll play first five under four.
[2:39:59] So I like Jake's thought on Festa.
[2:40:00] I think he'll pitch well.
[2:40:01] And Reid Detmers also, Coy and Ty's brother.
[2:40:04] So first five under four with the Angels and the Twins,
[2:40:07] and the Orioles' first five at even money.”
The Angels and Twins combined for 6 runs through five innings (4-2), exceeding the first-five under 4 (ESPN box score). (After five innings: Angels 4, Twins 2)
Aaron Judge to hit a home run
“[2:42:03] Should we, I think, you know, during this whole stretch where Judge hasn't homered,
[2:42:07] his hard hit rate is still like top five in Major League Baseball.
[2:42:10] I mean, he's ridiculous.
[2:42:11] He's going to homer tonight.
[2:42:13] I hope you're right.
[2:42:13] So, look, for people out there, you do whatever you want with this.
[2:42:17] I'm betting Aaron Judge to hit a homer.
[2:42:19] If you want, you can have it be a five-person homerun parlay.
[2:42:23] So Aaron Judge will be my bonus pick for tonight.
[2:42:26] He's going to homer tonight.
[2:42:28] Hard hit rate through the roof.
[2:42:29] Hasn't homered in 12 games.
[2:42:32] It's Tuesday on a Monday.
[2:42:33] So Aaron Judge to homer.
[2:42:34] But the guy I'm really excited about for tonight at an absolute monster, monster price.”
Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with no home runs against Kansas City (ESPN box score). (Aaron Judge: 0 home runs)
Lenyn Sosa to hit a home run (+800)
“[2:42:34] But the guy I'm really excited about for tonight at an absolute monster, monster price.
[2:42:42] Do you know who's starting tonight for the Cleveland Guardians?
[2:42:46] I do not.
[2:42:47] It is my next door neighbor in Staten Island.
[2:42:50] Actually, he grew up across the street from Valente Beloso.
[2:42:53] And it is Joey Cantillo.
[2:42:55] I'm pretty sure runs a pizza place a couple blocks away from me.
[2:42:58] Joey Cantillo is starting tonight for the Guardians.
[2:43:01] Poor Joey is terrible at baseball.
[2:43:05] He hashtag serves up taters to the opposition.
[2:43:09] He is brutal.
[2:43:11] Now, he's not brutal enough that I would bet the White Sox in the game,
[2:43:14] the White Sox's opponent tonight.
[2:43:15] But perhaps we can get a White Sox dinger or two.
[2:43:20] Tonight, Sammy Sun, along with John, Lenyn Sosa.
[2:43:31] Lenyn Sosa.
[2:43:34] How does Imagine by John Lennon go?
[2:43:38] Imagine all the people.
[2:43:42] I don't know why I thought you said John Lennon.
[2:43:43] I was like, John Legend?
[2:43:44] Imagine all the homers.
[2:43:48] Lenyn Sosa could hit.
[2:43:52] And then he'll maybe look like an entirely different person tomorrow,
[2:43:56] like his dad Sammy.
[2:43:58] Lenyn Sosa tonight.
[2:44:01] I mean there a lot of places to take this Lenyn Sosa tonight Sammy is what Dominican I believe so So Russian and Dominican descent this guy a powerhouse
[2:44:12] Lenyn Sosa tonight, plus 800 off of Joseph Cantillo.
[2:44:18] So the home run parlay, Dansby Swanson, Mookie Betts, Bobby Witt Jr.,”
Lenyn Sosa went 1-for-3 with no home runs against Cleveland (ESPN box score). (Lenyn Sosa: 0 home runs)
First half under 21
“[2:53:09] I'm going to play the first half under in the game.
[2:53:11] With the thought being that Aaron Rodgers coming off the Achilles didn't play in the preseason.
[2:53:15] I don't think this is going to be a Kirk Cousins situation where like Cousins can't move.
[2:53:19] Rodgers also had like an extra two months on him in terms of rehab time.
[2:53:22] So I think at the very least, Rodgers will start slow.
[2:53:25] And I like the Jets defense against the San Francisco offense.
[2:53:28] I like the Jets defensive line, even without Hassan Redick,
[2:53:32] a lot against the San Francisco 49ers offensive line.
[2:53:35] I think they'll be able to get pressure on Purdy.
[2:53:37] I think I'm not going to bet the Jets in the game,
[2:53:41] but I think I would bet the Jets if I had to bet the game.
[2:53:43] I'd want to see it live first to see what Rodgers looks like
[2:53:45] before I got involved with the Jets.
[2:53:46] I think that's a fair point.
[2:53:47] First half under 21 for me.
[2:53:50] That's my bet for side or total.”
San Francisco led the Jets 16-7 at halftime; the combined 23 first-half points exceed the under 21 (ESPN box score). (Halftime: 49ers 16, Jets 7)
Jordan Mason to score a touchdown (+650)
“[2:56:24] It is.
[2:56:24] And let's just look at BetMGM right now.
[2:56:26] Like we don't have to do the Prop King music because we don't have time.
[2:56:29] If you have BetMGM, I'm on BetMGM right now.
[2:56:32] They have all the touchdown markets up.
[2:56:34] In the anytime touchdown market, Jordan Mason's plus 650.
[2:56:37] Wrong.
[2:56:37] Like McCaffrey is still posted.
[2:56:39] Jordan Mason, anytime touchdown, he will be San Francisco's lead running back tonight.
[2:56:43] If you also want to have a split bet here, San Francisco's backup running back behind Jordan Mason is rookie Isaac Guerendo.”
Jordan Mason scored a rushing touchdown against the Jets on Monday Night Football (ESPN box score). (Jordan Mason: 1 rushing touchdown)
Isaac Guerendo to score a touchdown (+750)
“[2:56:43] If you also want to have a split bet here, San Francisco's backup running back behind Jordan Mason is rookie Isaac Guerendo.
[2:56:50] So you might not know who these guys are.
[2:56:52] I do.
[2:56:52] I'm telling you.
[2:56:54] Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo will be San Francisco's top two running backs tonight in the absence of Christian McCaffrey.
[2:56:59] So Mason and Guarendo.
[2:57:01] Let's see if Jordan Mason has a rushing yards posted here.
[2:57:04] I know.
[2:57:04] This is the point where we're just firing into our apps to figure stuff out.
[2:57:07] So Mason, so the Caffrey's pulled down now with yardage props.
[2:57:10] Mason is up.
[2:57:11] It is 11 and a half for Jordan Mason.
[2:57:14] He will be San Francisco's lead running back tonight.
[2:57:16] I will bet this Jordan Mason over rushing yards is a must.
[2:57:19] You can get this now before like it gets,
[2:57:22] everything gets pulled down and goes haywire.
[2:57:23] The McCaffrey touchdown numbers are still up right now.
[2:57:26] Jordan Mason is still plus 650 and Guarendo,
[2:57:29] Guarendo is plus 750 anytime touchdown.
[2:57:32] So a couple bucks on Guarendo and a couple bucks on Jordan Mason for sure.”
Isaac Guerendo carried once for -1 yard and did not score against the Jets (ESPN box score). (Isaac Guerendo: 0 touchdowns)
Jordan Mason over 11.5 rushing yards
“[2:57:01] Let's see if Jordan Mason has a rushing yards posted here.
[2:57:04] I know.
[2:57:04] This is the point where we're just firing into our apps to figure stuff out.
[2:57:07] So Mason, so the Caffrey's pulled down now with yardage props.
[2:57:10] Mason is up.
[2:57:11] It is 11 and a half for Jordan Mason.
[2:57:14] He will be San Francisco's lead running back tonight.
[2:57:16] I will bet this Jordan Mason over rushing yards is a must.
[2:57:19] You can get this now before like it gets,”
SF 32, NYJ 19 — Jordan Mason rushed for 147 yards on 28 carries against the Jets, clearing the 11.5 line (ESPN box score). (Jordan Mason: 147 rushing yards)
Allen Lazard to score a touchdown
“[2:58:18] Allen Lazard, anytime touchdown for the Jets.
[2:58:20] Big Mike Williams going to be eased in slowly coming off the ACL.
[2:58:23] Lazard going to be the number two wideout.
[2:58:25] Lazard plus 700s.
[2:58:27] Hopefully we're able to cover that for everybody.”
Allen Lazard caught two touchdown passes against San Francisco (ESPN box score). (Allen Lazard: 2 receiving touchdowns)
Arizona Cardinals -1
“[1:09:24] but the Cardinals I mean what do they have JJ Watt again like they don't have that many pass rushers
[1:09:28] it could get shaky again and I'm sure he's going to send the blitz but okay here's Matthew Stafford
[1:09:32] hitting you over the top if you're going to go ahead and blitz him like I think that the Rams
[1:09:35] love the Rams on Sunday I don't love them I think they win the game it is a coin flip game
[1:09:39] but if let's say if it gets out to one and a half two in favor of Arizona I think it's one right now
[1:09:43] in some places if it continues to go that way I might bet the Rams and just so people know Rams
[1:09:47] were one and a half at that MGM Rams favored by one and a half on the road Pukunikua news breaks
[1:09:52] he's weak to weak with that knee injury and we see arizona like again not a huge flip from like
[1:09:56] one and a half to one but just providing some context yeah and arizona to me that's the team
[1:10:00] that you want to bet when they're catching a lot of points like they were yesterday when they're
[1:10:03] catching six and a half or seven or something like that and kyler can come to the back door
[1:10:06] and that offense can do his thing now that they have to win with that defense against what the
[1:10:09] rams did going into hostile environment against detroit and almost coming out of there with the
[1:10:14] victory i i'll say this we could be sitting here two weeks from now the rams are just coming off
[1:10:18] win against the 49ers and they're sitting there at two and one and and the ship has sailed so to me
[1:10:23] i didn't even want to chance it to say oh maybe they fall to own two uh bump that i bet them again
[1:10:27] today to go ahead and win we're doubling down okay we are doubling down on the rambley for us
[1:10:32] what are we we was it was a re-a-ram-a-ly i got all my sisters with me oh yeah hey hey also uh also
[1:10:42] give me the arizona card bills on sunday as we break honestly this family's getting broken up”
ARI 41, LAR 10 — Arizona beat the Rams 41-10, winning by 31 and covering the -1 spread (ESPN box score).
Over 41
“[13:17] Sam Darnold obviously starts for Minnesota.
[13:19] Danny Dimes back for a big blue.
[13:20] The Vikings, one-and-a-half-point road favorites, total of 41.
[13:23] There's not a single result in this game that will surprise me.
[13:26] Sam Darnold as the new man on the Minnesota Vikings,
[13:28] he could turn the ball over, he could look great,
[13:30] and fulfill the top three pick expectations that he had
[13:34] entering his career in this league.
[13:36] Because I think that this is a game that is just so confusing to me.
[13:39] I don't know what the Giants are going to look like.
[13:40] I'm sure Millie Neighbors is going to get a lot of targets in that game
[13:43] to kick off his O'Roy campaign.
[13:44] but I have no read on this game,
[13:46] whether the side or the total.
[13:48] It's a hard pass for me,
[13:49] but I'll be watching you watch this game
[13:50] and I'll get to experience Nick
[13:52] taking in a Giants game for the first time.
[13:53] You would have been more fun like 15 years ago.
[13:56] Not as fun now.
[13:57] Now you hate watching.
[13:58] I'll bet the,
[13:59] I'll be on the over in this game for a couple bucks.
[14:02] The total's really low.
[14:04] I think Justin Jefferson will destroy this Giants secondary.
[14:08] And I think Malik Nabors is going to destroy
[14:09] this Vikings secondary.
[14:11] So not one of my like favorite bets of the week,
[14:13] because there's confidence ranking,
[14:14] but I'd like to have money on the game that my team is playing in.
[14:17] And I should have said this to start.
[14:19] All the props will be given out on Sunday,
[14:21] but I can give these out right now.
[14:22] Justin Jefferson over receiving yards.
[14:24] Malik neighbors over receiving yards.
[14:26] Malik neighbors over receptions.
[14:27] Don't have to belabor that point.
[14:29] So over 41 for me, Giants and Vikings.”
Minnesota 28, New York Giants 6 — Minnesota beat the Giants 28-6; combined 34 points missed the over 41 total (ESPN box score).
Carolina Panthers +4
“[14:32] Panthers and the Saints from New Orleans.
[14:34] New Orleans, a four-point home favorite.
[14:35] Total in the game is up to 41.5 now.
[14:38] I just want to see the injury stuff here.
[14:40] Anything that is noteworthy.
[14:43] No, not really.
[14:44] I'll bet the Panthers plus the points in this game.
[14:46] I just like Saints to win by margin with Derek Allen.
[14:49] No, thanks.
[14:50] Give me the Carolina Panthers.”
New Orleans 47, Carolina 10 — New Orleans routed Carolina 47-10, a 37-point margin that blew through the Panthers' +4 (ESPN box score).
Over 42.5
“[28:51] This might be a light four o'clock slate,
[28:53] but I have bets on the next two games.
[28:55] So let's get to it here.
[28:57] I think people know what we like in the Bucks-Commanders game
[28:58] if you listen to Survivor.
[28:59] So right now, BetMGM right now is your home.
[29:02] It's about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
[29:04] 3.25 is the number.
[29:06] It's 3.5 for Tampa, juiced towards the commies.
[29:09] The total here is 42.5.
[29:10] So Tampa Bay and Washington.
[29:12] I just want to see if we got any injury stuff here.
[29:14] Alex, who's Washington's backup quarterback in this game?
[29:17] That's a good question.
[29:19] If Mariota's out, who's their third stringer?
[29:21] I'm going to look this up.
[29:23] Yeah.
[29:24] I should know this off the top of my head, and I don't.
[29:26] I'm pulling it up right now on the depth chart website here.
[29:29] Driscoll. They better hope Jaden Daniels doesn't get hurt because that is problematic if he does.
[29:35] Mariota is out for this game for Tampa. We're going to want Kalijah Kansi to play.
[29:39] Limited practice today on Friday, but if it's practice on Friday, generally you're good to go on Sunday.
[29:43] Kansi, good defensive, young defensive lineman for Tampa.
[29:46] Are you laying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this game? I think I would like to.
[29:50] I will not lay the points with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
[29:52] We're going to have our survivor entry on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
[29:55] That's how I'll be sweating this game out.
[29:57] The total, nothing really interesting for me at 42 and a half.
[30:02] I think that's just right where it should be.
[30:04] I like the totals in the early windows a lot better than the ones in the afternoon ones.
[30:07] So it's a pass for me.
[30:08] We'll just be rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
[30:10] Fire the cannons.
[30:10] I will.
[30:12] I'm going to find a way to play Tampa.
[30:14] I guess like we did already, right?
[30:16] In a big way.
[30:17] Yes.
[30:17] So I think we did already.
[30:19] I will bet the over in this game with Tampa and Washington because here's what we know.
[30:24] So like Cliff Kingsbury, very handsome oatmeal for brains clown.
[30:28] But they're going to run really, really, really, really uptempo.
[30:32] It's his MO.
[30:32] They're going to run a million plays.
[30:34] That helps scoring.
[30:35] And like Sam Panayatovich comes on the show and he's right.
[30:38] And like a lot of people think this, not just Sam, but Sam is right.
[30:42] The secondary is hurt.
[30:43] Like the Washington defense is brutal.
[30:45] Like remember when they had Montez Sweat and Chase Young and they're not there anymore.
[30:48] No.
[30:48] Like the secondary is horrendous.
[30:51] so mike evans chris godwin jalen mcmillan i think tampa's gonna score and washington's gonna run a
[30:57] million plays in this game with an electric young quarterback i like the over so give me the over
[31:02] and we got tampa in uh in survivor and let's do one more here let's and we'll do sunday night”
Tampa Bay 37, Washington 20 — Tampa Bay beat Washington 37-20; combined 57 points cleared the 42.5 total (ESPN box score).
Dallas Cowboys +2.5
“[31:23] It's the best TV show on TV. What do you want to do with your team? Brown's a two and a half
[31:27] point favorite against your Cowboys. Total in the game is sitting at 41. And let me just see
[31:32] what we got injury wise here. Jedrick Willis is out as expected. Jack Conklin questionable.
[31:37] So is Brown's offensive line not in full health? Nothing happening with Dallas.
[31:40] I want to stuff my team in a locker is what I want to do. But I also think that the under
[31:44] is starting to look appealing, even though it's been bet into oblivion. It went from 44 and a
[31:48] have now sitting at 41.
[31:49] The under with both of these offenses,
[31:51] Dak did not play in the preseason.
[31:52] Deshaun Watson, he hasn't played in a long time.
[31:55] I think both defenses are going to find some success in this game.
[31:57] It'll be a lower scoring game.
[31:58] I'd like to get three with Dallas, but if I don't,
[32:02] if I don't, give me the team with the quarterback you can trust.
[32:07] The quarterback that can massage a win on Sunday.
[32:11] That team, Dallas.
[32:13] That quarterback, Dak Prescott.”
Dallas 33, Cleveland 17 — Dallas beat Cleveland 33-17, a 16-point margin that comfortably covered the Cowboys' +2.5 (ESPN box score).
Detroit Lions
“[36:32] Rams and the Lions in Detroit, Sunday Night Football on NBC.
[36:36] But Alan, Chris, or Mike and Chris are the best on TV.
[36:40] They certainly are the best on TV.
[36:42] Detroit bet out to a four-and-a-half point favorite in this game.
[36:45] Total is 52-and-a-half.
[36:46] Now, Larrick Jackson is suspended for the Rams
[36:48] when they're starting offensive lineman.
[36:49] Rob Habenstein is questionable,
[36:51] and that's pretty much it from an injury perspective.
[36:55] You know, the more I've thought about this game,
[36:57] and directionally, the side is definitely right.
[36:58] We talked about how if this ever got to three,
[37:01] we would be pushing people over to try to bet Detroit laying the three.
[37:04] It did not get the three.
[37:05] It went all the way out to four-and-a-half.
[37:06] that there are some in some spots and four is a consensus number but for me i actually kind of
[37:10] like the under a little bit in this game and and here's the reason why like with the rams having
[37:15] those injuries on the offensive line and now the suspension to a larry jackson detroit can get out
[37:20] in front and control this game and if it has to be stafford dropping back similar to what we saw
[37:24] in the playoffs where the rams were moving the football down the field but in the red zone they
[37:27] started to struggle because if there's one thing that's strong about the detroit defense even last
[37:31] year it was their run defense and that's how the rams are going to try to move the football in that
[37:35] run game but the old line is a little bit compromised with the suspension and haven't
[37:38] seen being a little bit questionable for this game so i think it could be detroit perhaps covering
[37:42] that number of four four and a half but if detroit does control this game i think it actually goes
[37:47] under the only way this goes over in my estimation is that the rams are out in front and detroit has
[37:51] to really push the pedal to the metal but if detroit's in control i kind of like this under
[37:55] yeah i uh i'm probably gonna try and work detroit money line in with some stuff here i do not think
[37:59] the lions will lose the game maybe i'll do like detroit money as part of like a favorite money
[38:03] line parlay or something. I think four and a half
[38:05] is right. I think we talked about this earlier in the
[38:07] week. The time to bet Detroit was like
[38:09] a juice three, which was insane.
[38:12] Yeah, I
[38:13] like the over in theory. Also,
[38:15] one red zone interception and
[38:17] you lose.
[38:19] You're out of there. And you lose. So yeah,
[38:21] Lions money line for me. Ken Barkley”
Detroit 26, Los Angeles Rams 20 — Detroit beat the LA Rams 26-20 in overtime, winning the moneyline outright (ESPN box score).
Over 49.5
“[39:13] just give us some your analysis of the game bets you've got side in total uh tonight in brazil
[39:17] eagles lay in two against the packers total 49 and a half i think this is a really really fun
[39:22] game just from a reality standpoint of just watching it all bets aside both of these teams
[39:27] contenders in the nfc i can't wait to watch it i think it's an abnormal game given the fact that
[39:31] it's the first ever nfl game in south america how are both of these teams going to sort of react to
[39:36] all of the things that go along with that the green bay packers allegedly might have a two-hour
[39:40] ride from the hotel to the stadium i think that's a little bit outrageous but hey you know money's
[39:44] out there to be made for me because of that not a lot of bets in this game in fact i only have one
[39:49] bet in this game and i'm going to go to the first half with the philadelphia eagles laying a half
[39:52] minus 105 Philadelphia traditionally starts fast in these openers especially in that first half They led ever since Nick Sirianni was the head coach in 2021 They led in all of the openers at halftime in those games whether it was against the Falcons against the Lions and even last year against the New England Patriots in a
[40:08] game that was a little bit strange out there in a rainy day in New England.
[40:11] So for me, first half, Philadelphia Eagles, maybe at the halftime, I might come back and
[40:16] bet the Green Bay Packers try to shoot for a middle or to do something from an in-game
[40:19] standpoint.
[40:20] But pre-flop, it's going to be the Philadelphia Eagles laying a half point in the first half.
[40:24] Your guess is as good as mine as to who's going to actually win the football game outright.
[40:28] But if you had to, what would you do and why?
[40:30] If I had to, it would be the Philadelphia Eagles.
[40:32] Just honestly, I think this is a coin flip.
[40:35] And I think both of these teams are really close together.
[40:37] But Philadelphia, just off of the bases that their run game could give the Packers problems.
[40:42] That's the big question mark for Green Bay last year, which probably got Joe Barry fired.
[40:45] They couldn't stop the run.
[40:46] Saquon Barkley now behind a really good offensive line.
[40:48] Maybe Philly's run game allows them to control this game.
[40:51] But I do worry about their secondary against Jordan Love and those pass catchers.
[40:53] I've been saying it all week.
[40:54] If I'm, look, I'm jacked to watch this game.
[40:57] We'll learn a lot.
[40:58] It's the two favorites in the NFC.
[41:00] It's a fact-finding mission.
[41:00] Yeah, well, it's an FFM.
[41:03] Fact-finding mission.
[41:04] Fact-finding mission.
[41:06] If this game were at 1 o'clock on Sunday, I don't think I would bet it,
[41:09] but it's Friday night, and it's the only game on Friday night,
[41:11] so I will bet it.
[41:12] I'll bet the over in the game 49 and a half.
[41:14] Lean towards the Eagles, but over will be my bet in the game.
[41:17] Over 49 and a half for bleeps and giggles with the Eagles and the Packers,”
Philadelphia 34, Green Bay 29 — Philadelphia beat Green Bay 34-29 in Sao Paulo; combined 63 points cleared the 49.5 total (ESPN box score).
DeVonta Smith over 58.5 receiving yards
“[42:58] AJ Brown tonight is listed at 70 and a half.
[43:02] DeVonta Smith is at 58 and a half.
[43:05] I'm curious now, in this FFM, this fact-finding, but I'll actually put my money on.
[43:10] If the disparity between these two stud-wide receivers for the Eagles,
[43:13] now with Kellen Moore as the coordinator, should be as high as it's been in the past.
[43:18] It is my theory.
[43:19] Look, AJ Brown's the alpha on the team.
[43:20] He's their number one.
[43:21] He's better than DeVonta Smith.
[43:23] I think the gap is pretty small between the two.
[43:26] I think DeVonta Smith is awesome as well.
[43:27] And with Kellen Moore, I think we'll see DeVonta Smith moved around a little bit more.
[43:31] The Eagles don't have a true slot receiver.
[43:34] Maybe it's Jahan Dotson.
[43:35] I don't know if he's caught up to speed yet.
[43:36] I think we'll see from DeVonta Smith over the middle of the field,
[43:39] which is, I think, where you can hammer this Green Bay Packers defense.
[43:42] DeVonta Smith over 58.5 receiving yards.
[43:46] DeVonta Smith over 58.5 receiving yards.”
DeVonta Smith caught 7 passes for 84 receiving yards against Green Bay, clearing the 58.5 line (ESPN box score). (DeVonta Smith 84 receiving yards)
Christian Watson over 41.5 receiving yards
“[43:49] Now, oh, this was funny because this guy's gone up four yards, and he should have.
[43:53] So the Packers wide receivers, we'll talk about this all season in the anytime touchdown market,
[43:58] but as far as yards are concerned, Jaden Reed, 42.5, Christian Watson, 40.
[44:02] What happened to the 90-second count, guys?
[44:04] You're screwing me here.
[44:05] Dontavian Wicks, 28.5, and who am I missing here?
[44:09] Romeo Dobbs, 40.5.
[44:10] Christian Watson didn't miss one practice during training camp.
[44:14] Apparently, he's worked things out with his hamstring.
[44:16] Let's bet on Christian Watson tonight.
[44:18] Christian Watson over 41 and a half.
[44:20] This was 37 and a half this morning, but 41 and a half receiving yards.”
Christian Watson caught 3 passes for 13 receiving yards against Philadelphia, well under the 41.5 line (ESPN box score). (Christian Watson 13 receiving yards)
Dontayvion Wicks to score a touchdown (+350)
“[44:24] Anytime touchdowns.
[44:25] Packers wide receiver out of the top four at the longest odds.
[44:28] That is Dontayvion Wicks
[44:30] Beer or pizza money, Dontayvion Wicks
[44:32] Anytime touchdown.
[44:33] Dontayvion Wicks
[44:34] Anytime touchdown is plus 350.”
Dontayvion Wicks did not score a touchdown in the Packers-Eagles game (ESPN box score). (Dontayvion Wicks 0 touchdowns)
Emanuel Wilson to score a touchdown (+400)
“[44:36] Also, again, it's Josh Jacobs and then Emanuel Wilson
[44:39] Beer or pizza money on Emanuel Wilson
[44:41] Anytime touchdown.
[44:42] Plus 400.”
Emanuel Wilson did not score a touchdown in the Packers-Eagles game (ESPN box score). (Emanuel Wilson 0 touchdowns)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Survivor
“[30:09] So, Tyler, fire the cannons.
[30:13] I'm ready to fire.
[30:15] I'm good with it.
[30:16] Tampa Bay was one of my – my original three.
[30:18] Am I ready to fire?
[30:19] I'm ready to fire.
[30:20] Want to cross some streams?
[30:21] we're gonna do that a little bit later um okay i uh oh man how does it feel
[30:29] it so so it's a complicated answer i'll ask you at four o'clock it's actually like it's a
[30:36] complicated answer because like it it simultaneously fills me with incredible nerves yes and but but
[30:43] also monumental overwhelming excitement welcome to survivor i mean i gotta say like
[30:51] it's going to be the most important thing that happens on Sunday is who wins that game.
[30:54] That's what I'm telling you.
[30:55] We'll have all of our bets, of course.
[30:57] And Survivor, if the Bucs win, we don't win any money.
[30:59] We can't win any money until the end.
[31:00] And we're going to win money and lose money on this other stuff.
[31:02] But I will be so locked in on Commanders and Bucs.
[31:07] It's going to be insanity.
[31:08] So the official You Better You Bet Week 1 Survivor play is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
[31:13] Let's do it.
[31:14] Fire the cannons!”
TB 37, WSH 20 — Tampa Bay beat Washington 37-20 in Week 1; Bucs win outright (ESPN box score).
Houston Astros — first five innings -0.5 (-115)
“[40:34] I don't know ball.
[40:35] Maybe that.
[40:36] Listen, Jake knows Jake has probably forgotten more about baseball than I know.
[40:39] Here's what I do know.
[40:40] Brandon Fad is terrible.
[40:41] Friend for Valdez is not Astros.
[40:43] first five run line minus a half minus 115 and bet mgms we'll go oppo taco on that one home run
[40:49] parlay now uh jake the snake who is first not jackson churio someone else it's going to be”
Houston led Arizona 4-0 after five innings, covering the first-five -0.5 run line (ESPN box score). (After five innings: Astros 4, Diamondbacks 0)
Kansas City Chiefs -2.5 (-120)
“[51:30] My thought and my bet side on tonight's game.
[51:34] And it should surprise no one, no one, that heard Tuesday's edition of the show where I'm at coming up for tonight.
[51:42] So let's not wait.
[51:44] Give me the Kansas City Chiefs tonight against Baltimore.
[51:48] Would love to lay two and a half.
[51:49] I will pay minus 120 to do it if I have to.
[51:52] But if it comes down to it and the only number that I can lay is three, I will do it with the Kansas City Chiefs.
[51:59] I hate this expression in sports betting content, but I will use it here because it is apropos.
[52:05] Tonight, a lay it or don't play it in the NFL season opener.
[52:10] And man, I get so excited thinking about the Kansas City Chiefs this season.”
27-20 — Chiefs beat Ravens 27-20 in the season opener, covering Chiefs -2.5 by 7 (ESPN box score).
Travis Kelce over 57.5 receiving yards
“[52:38] About 44 and a half is the yardage prop tonight for Xavier Worthy.
[52:41] You can go over that with one reception.
[52:43] And I can't wait tonight to watch Taylor's boyfriend, at least for now.
[52:49] There's a lot of rumors out there about that.
[52:50] Travis Kelsey's yardage prop tonight.
[52:52] Are people awake?
[52:55] Is everyone paying attention?
[52:57] Travis Kelsey's yardage prop tonight at the Sportsbook Born in Vegas.
[53:01] 57 and a half for Travis Kelsey.
[53:04] I'm willing to lose making that bet on the over for Travis Kelsey.
[53:07] Again, full prop list coming up at the end,”
Travis Kelce had 3 catches for 34 receiving yards against Baltimore, under the 57.5 line (ESPN box score). (Travis Kelce: 3 receptions, 34 receiving yards)
Baltimore Ravens under 10.5 wins (+100)
“[58:05] How much more do you ask?
[58:06] Enough to lay two and a half or three coming up tonight at Arrowhead in the season opener.
[58:11] So, yeah, like this is an under win total play on Baltimore with the number sitting ten and a half at even money at our show sponsor, the sportsbook born in Vegas, BetMGM.
[58:22] And besides for the win total, which again, like I like the under 10 and a half on the Ravens, the Ravens have the third best odds of any team at BetMGM to win the Super Bowl.
[58:35] I think about that for a second.”
Baltimore finished the 2024 regular season 12-5, well over the 10.5 win total (ESPN schedule/standings). (Ravens 2024 regular-season record: 12-5)
Michigan Wolverines +7.5
“[1:55:17] And Wink versus Sark, I think, is a great tactical matchup.
[1:55:20] And there's a low total in this game.
[1:55:22] And if Orgy's going to play more
[1:55:23] and Colston Loveland's going to be involved,
[1:55:25] he's awesome.
[1:55:25] He'll be a first-round pick in the NFL draft next year.
[1:55:27] I think Michigan can keep this game close.
[1:55:30] I will take the seven and a half.
[1:55:31] and Tyler telling me that this is down to seven, great.
[1:55:35] Seven and a half, seven, a bet for me coming up in the big house this weekend
[1:55:38] on the Michigan Wolverines.
[1:55:40] Next game to hit, Oregon and Boise State.”
31-12 — Texas beat Michigan 31-12, so Michigan's -19 margin missed the +7.5 line (ESPN box score).
Oregon Ducks -21
“[1:57:17] Tyler, do me a favor, Femi, if you have this up.
[1:57:19] Where do we, because I know this has been on the move, was 20 and a half earlier today.
[1:57:22] Like anything 20 and a half, it's 21, I would lay the 21 with Oregon.
[1:57:27] Quack, quack, give me the Ducks here.
[1:57:29] And I think you should get this sooner rather than later, because I think people are thinking the way I am here.
[1:57:33] Big bounce back coming up for the Oregon Ducks.
[1:57:36] How about, revenge spot, Colorado and Nebraska.”
37-34 — Oregon beat Boise State 37-34 on a last-second field goal, covering only +3, well short of the -21 line (ESPN box score).
Colorado Buffaloes +7.5
“[1:57:36] How about, revenge spot, Colorado and Nebraska.
[1:57:41] Nebraska, seven and a half point favorite in this game against Shooter Sanders,
[1:57:46] Travis Hunter, Deion Sanders, and the Buffalo Joes.
[1:57:49] The Buffaloes.
[1:57:50] The Buffaloes.
[1:57:51] The Joes all like to back them.
[1:57:52] So do we.
[1:57:53] Total in the game, 58 and a half.
[1:57:54] I find that curious that the total in this game does not start with a six.
[1:57:58] Starts with a five.
[1:57:59] Now, last year, while we were out in Vegas for week one in the NFL,
[1:58:02] week two of college football, we bet Colorado against Nebraska.
[1:58:06] And Colorado annihilated Nebraska in that game.
[1:58:09] Jeff Sims put forth one of the worst quarterback performance.
[1:58:11] Like, you would have rather had, like, 60-year-old Phil Sims
[1:58:13] than 20-year-old Jeff Sims as the quarterback for Nebraska.
[1:58:17] But now Nebraska's kind of got it rolling a little bit early in the season.
[1:58:20] Matt Rules maybe got this bad boy figured out.
[1:58:23] Dylan Rayola, a five-star freshman, looked amazing last week
[1:58:26] and should be able to have some success against this Colorado defense.
[1:58:30] You know, Colorado did win last week against North Dakota State,
[1:58:33] but, like, almost collapsed at the end of the game.
[1:58:35] Like, if the Hail Mary is converted at the end for a touchdown,
[1:58:37] like, Colorado loses.
[1:58:39] And that's a big-time egg-on-the-face situation for the Buffaloes.
[1:58:42] And it needs to be said, like, objectively, whether you like Colorado or not, Nebraska's defensive line should eat up this Colorado offensive line.
[1:58:51] But the bottom line for me, so I get why I like P.J. and some others, but I like Nebraska.
[1:58:56] But bottom line here, Colorado still has Shadur Sanders.
[1:59:02] Colorado still has Travis Hunter.
[1:59:04] Two guys towards the top of the Heisman Trophy voting.
[1:59:07] Like, two guys who are going to go in the top half of the NFL draft in the first round.
[1:59:11] Shadur Sanders is going to go in the top 10.
[1:59:13] Travis Hunter is probably going to go in the top 16,
[1:59:15] probably going to go in the top half of the first.
[1:59:16] Both are going to be first round picks.
[1:59:18] And I know that this is not a great way to handicap games.
[1:59:21] I understand.
[1:59:22] But I do think it factors in here as part of the handicap, right?
[1:59:25] Like you should never bet an underdog, like being like, oh, well,
[1:59:28] when they're down by 14 at the end of the game,
[1:59:30] like they should be able to score a touchdown.
[1:59:32] So down by 14 at the end of the game, you probably don't want to bet them.
[1:59:34] But in the event that they are, you got Shadur Sanders,
[1:59:39] is Travis Hunter and company to stroll on through that back door.
[1:59:44] And I don't think Colorado is going to have to stroll on through the back door
[1:59:47] because I have faith in this Colorado offense.
[1:59:50] That may be Dylan Rayola and company in the Nebraska.
[1:59:52] Ask offense, lay it on them a little bit.
[1:59:54] Part of the reason why, I like the over in this game.
[1:59:56] And also, give me the Colorado Buffaloes, a.k.a. the Colorado Buffa Joes.
[2:00:02] Tyler, what's the slogan that you had on, like the unfortunate slogan on the t-shirt that you wore last week?
[2:00:07] We coming.
[2:00:10] Damn right we are.
[2:00:11] And listen, and if Colorado wins and covers, you know, game goes over.
[2:00:15] Just saying.
[2:00:16] Give me Colorado and give me the over coming up against Nebraska.”
28-10 — Nebraska beat Colorado 28-10, so Colorado's -18 margin missed the +7.5 line (Nebraska Athletics official box score).
Over 58.5
“[1:57:41] Nebraska, seven and a half point favorite in this game against Shooter Sanders,
[1:57:46] Travis Hunter, Deion Sanders, and the Buffalo Joes.
[1:57:49] The Buffaloes.
[1:57:50] The Buffaloes.

[1:57:52] So do we.
[1:57:53] Total in the game, 58 and a half.

[2:00:02] Tyler, what's the slogan that you had on, like the unfortunate slogan on the t-shirt that you wore last week?
[2:00:07] We coming.
[2:00:10] Damn right we are.
[2:00:11] And listen, and if Colorado wins and covers, you know, game goes over.
[2:00:15] Just saying.
[2:00:16] Give me Colorado and give me the over coming up against Nebraska.”
28-10 — Nebraska beat Colorado 28-10, a combined 38 points, under the 58.5 total (Nebraska Athletics official box score).
NC State Wolfpack +10.5
“[2:00:53] Now sitting, last I checked during the interview with PJ, Tennessee, a juiced 10 on the road,
[2:00:59] like kind of like a quasi neutral site game, not a full neutral site game against NC State.
[2:01:04] Like 10 minus 15 was the last I saw.
[2:01:07] I feel like that's kind of gone too far also.
[2:01:10] And maybe like we just wait to see like how far it goes.
[2:01:12] A 10 and a half with NC State.
[2:01:13] NC State's a really good team.
[2:01:15] I'm not saying they're going to win against Tennessee,
[2:01:17] and maybe Nico throws for eight touchdowns,
[2:01:20] and the Heisman campaign kicks into overdrive,
[2:01:21] and it's video game stats for Tennessee.
[2:01:24] But as it stands right now, I'm going to end up taking those points
[2:01:27] with the Wolfpack.
[2:01:28] Famously, don't turn your back on them.
[2:01:31] You might end up in a body bag.
[2:01:33] Oh!
[2:01:34] So NC State plus the points, Colorado and the over,
[2:01:37] laying it with Oregon, taking it with Michigan.”
51-10 — Tennessee routed NC State 51-10, so NC State's -41 margin missed the +10.5 line by a wide margin (ESPN box score).
Texas Rangers — first five innings -0.5 (-130)
“[2:38:08] All right, there you have it.
[2:38:08] One baseball bet for me tonight.
[2:38:11] I'll lay minus 130.
[2:38:12] Rangers minus, so the first five money line.
[2:38:15] Rangers have to be winning at the end of five against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim,
[2:38:19] of North America, of Planet Earth, of the Milky Way Galaxy.
[2:38:22] Their starting pitcher, Cody Bradford, is actually like really, really, really good.
[2:38:26] I'm not going to try and pronounce the Angels pitcher's name.
[2:38:28] He's not as good.
[2:38:29] Give me the Rangers tonight.
[2:38:30] First five minus a half, minus 130.
[2:38:32] The Texas Rangers, first five.
[2:38:34] My one baseball bet for tonight.”
3-1 — Texas led Los Angeles 3-1 after five innings, so the Rangers first-five -0.5 (win outright) covered (ESPN box score).
Carson Steele anytime touchdown (+700)
“[2:57:58] some tutties here.
[2:57:59] You are the magnet
[2:58:00] and I am the steal.
[2:58:04] Beer, just like
[2:58:05] limited amounts of money. Beer or pizza money.
[2:58:08] The Chiefs get the ball down
[2:58:09] by the goal line. You know they like to run
[2:58:12] trick plays. You know who I think
[2:58:13] might get a trick play tonight? Their
[2:58:15] preseason sensation who runs
[2:58:18] 4-7 in the 40-yard dash.
[2:58:20] Carson Steele.
[2:58:21] Beer or pizza money? Not a big bet,
[2:58:24] please, on Carson Steele.
[2:58:26] Now, Rasheed Ali is doubtful in this game
[2:58:28] for the Ravens, which means behind Derrick Henry
[2:58:30] it's probably going to be a lot of Justice Hill.
[2:58:32] I think if you want to, Justice Hill,
[2:58:34] Rashad Bateman, and Nelson Aguilar
[2:58:36] at price. Everyone else
[2:58:38] is like in the ones, plus one something.
[2:58:40] Bateman, Aguilar, Justice Hill
[2:58:42] if you want to sprinkle a little bit of pizza money
[2:58:44] on each. And Carson,
[2:58:45] You are the magnet.
[2:58:47] I am the steal.
[2:58:49] Plus 700.
[2:58:50] Anytime.
[2:58:51] Touchdown.
[2:58:51] That does it for this edition of the show.”
The game's only touchdowns were by Derrick Henry, Xavier Worthy (x2), and Isaiah Likely; Carson Steele did not score against Baltimore — his only Arrowhead TD came in the August 22, 2024 preseason finale vs Chicago, not this game (ESPN recap/box score). (Carson Steele: 0 touchdowns)
Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5
“[1:42:18] I'll bet a juice three and a half.
[1:42:20] I bet this game already, just saying for the people that don't have money on it.
[1:42:23] I think the Jaguars are going to win the game.
[1:42:25] And I like the over.
[1:42:26] And I like Brian Thomas Jr. over 41 and a half receiving yards.
[1:42:29] So quick pick number one for Femi.
[1:42:30] Jags Dolphins over for me.
[1:42:32] I like the Jaguars against the Miami Dolphins.
[1:42:34] Femi, quick pick numero dos.
[1:42:37] There's a three and a half in the market right now for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[1:42:40] It's minus 115, but at that point, I like the Steelers plus three.
[1:42:44] So three and a half against Kirk Cousins, who we've yet to see play since around Halloween
[1:42:48] when he tore his Achilles.
[1:42:50] I don't care that Russell Wilson looks like the game manager of all game managers.
[1:42:53] As long as he doesn't turn the football over, this will be a close game because the best
[1:42:57] unit in this game is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
[1:43:00] So I'm going to ride that defense.
[1:43:02] Mike Tallman in these underdog spots.
[1:43:03] It's the rah-rah.
[1:43:04] He's going to get them going.
[1:43:06] I think this is one of the closer games of week one.
[1:43:08] Give me the Steelers three and a half on the road in Atlanta.
[1:43:11] A little echo chambery here.
[1:43:14] We've been doing the show for two weeks now.
[1:43:15] Yeah, like duh.”
Dolphins 20, Jaguars 17 — Miami beat Jacksonville 20-17 on Sept 8, 2024; the Jaguars' 3-point loss covers +3.5 (ESPN box score).
Brian Thomas Jr. over 41.5 receiving yards
“[1:42:26] And I like Brian Thomas Jr. over 41 and a half receiving yards.
[1:42:29] So quick pick number one for Femi.
[1:42:30] Jags Dolphins over for me.
[1:42:32] I like the Jaguars against the Miami Dolphins.
[1:42:34] Femi, quick pick numero dos.
[1:42:37] There's a three and a half in the market right now for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[1:42:40] It's minus 115, but at that point, I like the Steelers plus three.

[1:43:08] Give me the Steelers three and a half on the road in Atlanta.
[1:43:11] A little echo chambery here.
[1:43:14] We've been doing the show for two weeks now.
[1:43:15] Yeah, like duh.
[1:43:16] I like the Steelers also.
[1:43:18] The three and a half.
[1:43:19] Hilarious.
[1:43:20] I'm with Femi.”
Brian Thomas Jr. topped 41.5 receiving yards for Jacksonville against Miami on Sept 8, 2024 (ESPN box score). (Brian Thomas Jr.: 47 receiving yards)
Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5
“[1:43:16] I like the Steelers also.
[1:43:18] The three and a half.
[1:43:19] Hilarious.
[1:43:20] I'm with Femi.
[1:43:21] Pittsburgh Steelers plus three, plus three and a half on the road in Atlanta.
[1:43:24] And just for any time touchdowns, keep this in mind.
[1:43:26] We know Pat Friermuth is the Steelers' number one tight end in name at least on the depth chart.
[1:43:32] In the preseason, Pittsburgh played all their tight ends basically.
[1:43:36] I think this is going to be statistically probably a down year.
[1:43:39] He's still their best tight end.
[1:43:41] But we know what Arthur Smith wants to do.
[1:43:42] He wants to play a billion tight ends.
[1:43:44] Anytime touchdown-wise here, I think we'll have a Steelers backup tight end that makes the anytime touchdown card coming up for week one.
[1:43:51] So Femi and I in concert.
[1:43:52] Quick pick numero dos.
[1:43:53] Both of us like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[1:43:55] Femi, quick pick numero tres for you.
[1:43:57] I'm going to go into the over in that game of the AFC South, Texans and the Colts.
[1:44:02] I love both of these offenses, or at least the prospects of both of these offenses.
[1:44:06] I think Shane Steikin is going to have some more stuff cooked up for Anthony Richardson,
[1:44:08] who I'm a little bit uncertain to how it's going to go,
[1:44:11] but I think that uncertainty might play to the positive early in the season
[1:44:14] when teams are still on their heels.
[1:44:15] And I think the biggest mismatch of week one is the Texans passing game
[1:44:19] against the Colts secondary.”
Steelers 18, Falcons 10 — Pittsburgh beat Atlanta 18-10 on Sept 8, 2024, covering +3.5 (ESPN box score).
Tennessee Titans +4.5
“[1:44:46] I'm sitting on Titans plus four and a half.
[1:44:49] I'd bet three and a half also.
[1:44:50] You know why?
[1:44:51] Because the Titans are just going to go into Chicago
[1:44:53] and win the game.
[1:44:54] Like, what have the Bears done to show
[1:44:55] that they deserve to be more than a field goal favorite against Tennessee?
[1:44:59] The answer, nothing.
[1:45:03] Quick pick number three for me.
[1:45:05] Give me the Tennessee Titans on the road in Chicago against the Bears.
[1:45:08] Quick break, and coming up next, Adam Chernoff's best bets for week one in the NFL.

[1:45:52] 20 minutes from now, we'll give you all our baseball bets for tonight, including the home run parlay.

[2:10:51] and we will lose our Royals AL Central bets collectively, unfortunately.

First five: Brewers 3, Cardinals 3 (final, 12 innings: Cardinals 7, Brewers 4) — Milwaukee and St. Louis were tied 3-3 through five innings on Sept 3, 2024, so the Brewers did not win by the required half-run and the first-five -0.5 busts (ESPN box score).
Patrick Mahomes to win NFL MVP
“[2:36:41] at the beginning of the show I got the script uh my sources out in Vegas are telling me that I have the answer Like Femi right Unfortunately because it boring Patrick Mahomes to win NFL Most Valuable Player Tyler agree or disagree on Mahomes
[2:36:56] I mean, Femi took what I was taking word for word.
[2:36:58] I was going to pick Jared Goff.
[2:36:59] I didn't know the people were actually going to give it to him.
[2:37:01] So let's go Patrick Mahomes.
[2:37:02] I feel this is going to be an easy one here.
[2:37:04] I was hoping Tyler would say Lawrence Butler.
[2:37:06] Jake, please don't make this a clean sweep.
[2:37:07] Give us someone else to an MVP.
[2:37:09] no I was actually going to go with my homes but then I figured this would happen so I intentionally
[2:37:14] went another way because I'm actually terrified of this happening and as such that's why I'm
[2:37:19] convinced it's going to happen I kind of think Jordan Love is going to make another insane leap
[2:37:23] like I don't think the second half of last year was a fluke and as a jaded Bears fan of course the
[2:37:29] Packers are just going to get another guy that torments me for another 20 years of my life
[2:37:32] why wouldn't that happen why should I ever be allowed happiness so I kind of think Jordan Love
[2:37:37] and the Matt LaFleur pairing with him.
[2:37:39] I think the receivers take a leap.
[2:37:40] I'm going to go different, contrarian, Jordan Love.

[2:37:49] No, nope, lost in extra innings, got walked off on one to nothing.
[2:37:54] Thanks for that.

Garrett Wilson to win Offensive Player of the Year (+3000)
“[2:39:35] Give me Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets at 30 to 1.
[2:39:38] Catching a ton of passes all season long from Aaron Rodgers.
[2:39:42] Garrett Wilson at 30 to 1.
[2:39:44] Let's quickly do defensive player of the year, which is like probably one of the top three pass rushers on the board.
[2:39:48] I guess you could go somewhere else if you wanted to.
[2:39:50] Femi, you want to go somewhere else or you're going to go with one of the top three?
[2:39:53] I'll be going somewhere else after being a chalk eater for MVP and offensive player of the year.
[2:39:57] I'm actually going to go right back to the team that you like, Nick, and that's gang green, the New York Jets.
[2:40:02] I'm going to go with Quinnen Williams to win defensive player of the year.
[2:40:05] Typically, you have to be one of those all pro caliber guys.
[2:40:08] He's been a first team all pro in his career.
[2:40:11] And also the fact that the Jets offense is now competent.
[2:40:13] I think that's going to give him more pass rush opportunities.
[2:40:16] And he's going to take another step forward in that regard.
[2:40:18] He has a double digit sack season already under his belt in his career.
[2:40:22] I think he sees another one this year and he is the defining player on the defining defense this season.
[2:40:27] Quinnen Williams my defensive player of the year defining player on the defining defense like that
[2:40:32] it's like you're channeling your inner joe davis there that was very well done tyler defensive
[2:40:35] player of the year from you here's a chalky pick oh michael parsons career trajectory just feels
[2:40:40] like it's setting up for a uh Offensive Player of the year everyone else up there is one he's
[2:40:44] next michael parsons jake i am also going chalky different way tj watt after he got i mean i know
[2:40:52] he was mad last year whatever the weird tweet so narrative motivated wants it is going to make a
[2:40:57] case to actually just go and get it and make sure nobody else can question it on uh on our video
[2:41:02] screen here we have like his full name instead of i didn't know his name was trent jordan watt i
[2:41:06] think i like tj a lot better i'll go i'll go off the beaten path here also because i think this team”

“[2:41:32] Josh Allen Hines by the way did you guys know Josh Allen one sack Josh Allen just uh ask Scott
[2:41:37] Hanson he'd love to tell you Josh Allen 30 to 1 defensive player of the year let's quickly roll
[2:41:43] through the rest of your offensive rookie Femi I'm gonna go with Jayden Daniels I think he is
[2:41:48] gonna have an outstanding season for the Washington Commanders and I think they're gonna make a push
[2:41:51] towards making the playoffs that's gonna give him the nod in this over someone like Caleb Williams
[2:41:55] Tyler Morales we know how I feel about this Caleb Williams I think this is a once in a generation
[2:42:01] guy I think this is a guy that's capable of leading some team to a playoffs in their first
[2:42:04] year I think he's gonna put up monster numbers Caleb Williams is my pick Pat Buchanan just
[2:42:09] kidding jake hasan offensive rookie i tried to not let my bias play into this i went with caleb i
[2:42:14] just mostly trying to manifest that he's awesome all right i guess i'm the one that's going off
[2:42:18] the beaten path here i can't wait to see how it ends up um listen five and a half receptions this
[2:42:24] is number on sunday he's going to go over that in the first 30 minutes of the game the price is still
[2:42:28] crazy it's malik neighbors it's probably not it's actually probably jayden daniels or caleb williams
[2:42:33] maybe bo nicks but uh just for this because i bet this also because i think the number is crazy
[2:42:38] Malik Neighbors, 14-1
[2:42:40] Offensive rookie
[2:42:41] Does anyone want to make the case for someone for defensive rookie of the year?
[2:42:44] Do we want to skip this one because it feels like a total crapshoot?
[2:42:47] Tyler, defensive rookie
[2:42:48] Make a case?
[2:42:49] Yeah, I don't like the defensive ends this year to be honest
[2:42:52] Three corners have won in the last nine years
[2:42:54] So not often
[2:42:55] Vic Fangio said Quinyon Mitchell is going to play every single snap for this defense
[2:42:59] And the way they're hyping this guy”

“[2:42:33] maybe bo nicks but uh just for this because i bet this also because i think the number is crazy
[2:42:38] Malik Neighbors, 14-1

[2:42:55] Vic Fangio said Quinyon Mitchell is going to play every single snap for this defense
[2:42:59] And the way they're hyping this guy
[2:43:01] I've never seen from a rookie on the Eagles
[2:43:03] Which is pretty insane
[2:43:04] So Quinyon Mitchell is my pick
[2:43:05] Femi?
[2:43:07] I'm going to go with Byron Murphy II of the Seattle Seahawks.
[2:43:10] A lot of evaluators actually thought he was the best defensive player in this draft.
[2:43:14] And the John Schneider was absolutely giddy that he fell to them in the team.
[2:43:18] So Byron Murphy II is this new centerpiece of Mike McDonald's defense.
[2:43:21] I like him to win D-Roy.
[2:43:23] Let's talk about some nerdy stuff here and some IDP dynasty leagues that I do.
[2:43:29] I have Byron Murphy II in all of them.
[2:43:31] Just like it's really, really, really terrible.
[2:43:34] IDP dynasty.”

Payton Wilson to win Defensive Rookie of the Year (+3000)
“[2:43:56] I'll actually go with the Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker, Payton Wilson at 30-1.
[2:44:01] Like, beer money on this.
[2:44:02] I need to wait to see how these guys look.
[2:44:04] I think this market is the biggest crapshoot every single year,
[2:44:07] defensive rookie of the year Let try and get coach in here Maybe we do comeback on the other side Femi Abebefe coach of the year Skullbaby we going with Kevin O I think the Vikings is my surprise team in the NFC
[2:44:18] Tyler, I think I might get KOC tattooed on his ass by the end of the year.
[2:44:22] We'll pass Tyler, who's doing the skull cheer.
[2:44:25] Jake, coach of the year.
[2:44:26] Matt Eberflus or no?
[2:44:28] Oh, God.
[2:44:29] Not even with your grandmother's money.
[2:44:31] I'm going the other way.
[2:44:32] I'm going O'Connell.
[2:44:33] Me, Tyler, and Femi, if O'Connell wins us at the home run parlays,
[2:44:36] we're retiring to an island.
[2:44:37] my grandma's dead you jerk i just so so no money to give to mattie
[2:44:42] so that's correct so that's so there's no money also no money on mattie
[2:44:47] i'll take here brian callahan of your tennessee titans and ken always said
[2:44:55] this and he's right the thought should be you say who's going to win coach of
[2:44:58] the year and you're you should think wow like that team's going to be terrible
[2:45:01] exactly i think the titans have the upside to win like nine games this year if will levis is good
[2:45:08] and i think will levis is going to be good which does not mean that i think tennessee is definitely
[2:45:12] going to win nine games just that at price right now the increase that i think they can make in
[2:45:16] terms of wins and losses like mike the seahawks won nine games last year how many does mike
[2:45:20] mcdonald have to win to win coach of the year i don't hate the kevin o'connell thought but i do”

[2:22:41] I'll take a shot on the Orioles' first five and plus money against the Dodgers.
[2:22:45] Or, again, just like both pitchers are bad and give up runs,
[2:22:48] so let me take plus money here with a good offense.
[2:22:53] Orioles first five plus 120.
[2:22:54] Maybe Kate Povich could pitch well.

[2:34:39] 21 is the number I'd like to lay or less.

[2:34:53] I will go against Sammy P.
[2:34:54] I'm going to find the cheapest money line I can find on A&M, and my sense is, after what Sam said earlier in the line update that Femi gave on this game,
[2:35:02] I think we're going to see this game come off three and maybe close A&M less than a three-point favorite, which means the money line will get a little cheaper.
[2:35:08] I'll be looking for a cheap money line priced on Saturday with Connor Wegman and Texas A&M against Riley Leonard and Notre Dame.”
Notre Dame 23, Texas A&M 13 — Texas A&M lost to Notre Dame 23-13, moneyline busts (ESPN box score).

[2:27:27] national 6 after 5.
[2:27:29] But I'll play Yankees first 5 minus a half,
[2:27:33] and I'll lay minus 140 to do it.
[2:27:35] And then the Yankees will touch up Gore.
[2:27:37] And I – do I have enough faith in Rodonnaman, I guess,
[2:27:39] so I already bet it, so I'm in on it.
[2:27:41] Yankees first 5 minus a half minus 140,

[2:27:47] Give me the Blue Jays at plus money,”

[2:27:55] Brian Bellow gives up runs in bunches.
[2:27:57] Blue Jays plus 110, first five on the road at the Red Sox.
[2:28:02] How about Jake giving out my guy, Fiesta Fiesta.
[2:28:06] Oh, it's a party whenever David Festa takes the mound.
[2:28:10] I'm going to play on Festa and play against Chris Sale,
[2:28:15] who quietly is giving up tons of base hits in the month of August.
[2:28:21] Not been a good month of August for Chris Sale.”

“[2:28:24] He's putting a lot of guys on base.
[2:28:26] Festa striking a lot of guys out.
[2:28:28] Give me, in this 1991 World Series rematch, the team that won the 1991 World Series in seven.
[2:28:33] Shout out to the late great Kirby Bucket.
[2:28:35] Shout out to Jack Morris.
[2:28:37] Ken Herbeck and company.
[2:28:38] Give me the Minnesota Twins first five plus 120 against Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves.
[2:28:44] Two more for you.
[2:28:45] Joe Musgrove pitching really well for the Padres.
[2:28:48] I love the Padres right now.

[2:28:54] Give me the San Diego Padres minus 125 in the first five against the Redbirds.
[2:28:59] And last one.
[2:29:00] So Jake talked about, yes, like Walker Bueller's bad, I understand.
[2:29:03] Are people paying attention to Corbin Burns' recent run of form?
[2:29:08] He's been like kind of not, he's worse, like sales been better.
[2:29:13] Neither guy has pitched well.”
SD 2, STL 3 (through 5 innings) — St. Louis led San Diego 3-2 through five innings, so the Padres' first-five moneyline busts (ESPN box score).
First five innings over 4.5
“[2:29:13] Neither guy has pitched well.
[2:29:15] Burns is putting tons of guys on base.
[2:29:17] So I can see why the Orioles are appealing. I'm not saying they can't win, just that I'm not really confident backing Corbin Burns. Instead, what I will do is play the first five over four and a half. First five over four and a half with the Orioles and the Dodgers tonight, not just to play against Bueller. Bueller. But get Smithers on the phone. We'll also bet against Mr. Burns.
[2:29:40] First five over four and a half with the Orioles and the Dodgers.
[2:29:43] So Yankees first five minus a half.
[2:29:44] Blue Jays first five against the Red Sox.
[2:29:46] Twins first five against the Braves.
[2:29:47] Padres first five against the Cardinals.
[2:29:49] And first five over four and a half in L.A. with the Orioles and the Dodgers.

Colt Keith to hit a home run
“[2:35:35] Okay.
[2:35:36] I would actually like to – I shouldn't do this because I'm the winner here and you guys are the losers based on the recent results.
[2:35:42] I have three.
[2:35:44] I have three home runs.
[2:35:45] So I'm going to bet all three of these guys.
[2:35:47] So here's what I'm thinking for the home run parlay.
[2:35:50] Like Tyler, I like Tigers against Griffin Canning.
[2:35:55] The Tiger that I chose.
[2:35:57] Colt.
[2:35:58] Keith.
[2:36:00] Does he wear number 45?
[2:36:01] He should.”

[2:36:03] Keith.
[2:36:04] How about if Walker Bueller is going to serve him up?
[2:36:08] Ramon Urías
[2:36:09] Plus 900.
[2:36:10] Hitting the ball hard for the Baltimore Orioles.
[2:36:13] Or, you know what we could do?
[2:36:15] we could just bet on the game in Coors Field
[2:36:19] against the pitcher that serves up home runs every start.
[2:36:22] That would be Max Meyer for the Miami Marlins.
[2:36:26] I'm gazing into the crystal ball.
[2:36:28] I'm feeling something like a prophet.”
Ramón Urías did not homer as the Dodgers beat Baltimore 6-4 (ESPN box score). (Ramón Urías: 0 HR)

[2:27:01] Let's try and win some bets on Herder for the Tigers.
[2:27:04] In lieu of laying the big first five price,
[2:27:06] I'll lay the Tigers minus a half.
[2:27:09] First, I have to be winning.

[2:27:33] We did the bit already.
[2:27:34] Cubs first five, all A minus 135.
[2:27:37] Steele's been great, especially on the road, as Femi told you,
[2:27:39] and we don't trust Jared Jones.
[2:27:42] Coming off an injury.
[2:27:43] I'm with Jake on the Royals here, and Michael Lorenzen,

Because their season last year was in two just such completely different parts. And if you go by the first part, this number is insane. But obviously, we're going by the second part because Lively takes a step forward. Gafford, P.J. Washington, like that's the team that we remember. and this number is a little bit more in line with that because you would hope that they could keep defending at the level that they defended with after they got all those players that was like the big thing that changed the rim protection the overall defensive mindset now derrick jones jr not on the team anymore so clay comes in derrick jones jr not on the team and it's you know to a certain extent oh who cares it's derrick jones jr like clay thompson a sexier name but to another extent like he was one of the pieces that allowed all of this to fit together the right way that allowed the defense to be that good so you know with clay you gain a lot obviously he's like still one of probably one of the best five three-point shooters in the league and like one of the best of all time and that's not going to go anywhere that's skill but you do lose something when you do that they are are they going to be good on defense and if it's that they're like a top five offense but they're kind of just bleh on defense and like like more than 50 is tough with uh when that's like what you're going into the season it doesn't doesn't have to go that way uh there are there are still reasons for optimism clay can be completely different when luca is like completely pulling the strings and orchestrating everything and you just sit on the wing and you shoot wide open three pointers and you're clay thompson that's going to go really well sometimes and kyrie is drawing attention also that's going to go really well i mean remember like you in your mind's eye you can picture probably all the times in the nba finals derrick jones jr was wide open from three and missed it's like cool well now that's clay thompson how's that going to go not that the defense will play the same way but they kind of have to because of the other two guys so then lively can take a step forward in year two there's reason to be excited but just like this is it's either the right number or too big and i can't figure out which one it is yeah but i i think that we're simpatico on this that if the mavericks going to win a ton of games this season they're going to do it by outscoring teams and they're going to be a ton of fun to watch and just having clay spacing the floor right and there are jones jr is a nice player but It's not Klay Thompson, at least in terms of what Klay does, right? Spacing the floor. I mean, how is this not going to be just like Lob City again with like Lively and Gafford? And if Lively takes a step forward here. Now, I think you need, if you like Dallas this year and you're bullish on the Mavericks, it is worth noting, and there's nothing tangible. There's no way to predict this, right, to handicap it. Kyrie Irving was really on his best behavior last year. Didn't do anything crazy. Like, didn't say anything crazy. and i think the conventional wisdom now is just that's going to be him moving forward like why why can't he just like go nuts again and if he like goes nuts or says something insane again like in all seriousness is a really funny way to say that yeah that's like it's just what if he just goes nuts again well like fire off his take on like who the democrats should replace joe biden with like run for president like these are all things that are in the range of outcomes here i I think things can go awry. Now, it is a high number. I'm so bullish on this offense. I'm so bullish on this team with the addition of Thompson. And not that Quinton Grimes is great, but I like Quinton Grimes. I actually think I would lean towards the over on the Mavericks. And how is this not going to be just another insane statistical season for Luka Doncic? Yeah, sure. How many assists is he going to average per game? Plus the points, plus the boards. And I don't know if you have a thought on Luka for MVP this year, Ken, if they can win enough games to get him there. But I love Luka this year, and I like the Mavericks. I like the Mavericks a lot. I think I'd only bet the over.”
Dallas finished the 2024-25 regular season 39-43, below the 50.5-win line (ESPN standings). (Dallas Mavericks 39-43)
Denver Nuggets under 52.5 wins
“Denver's win total this year sitting at 52.5. Denver, obviously, you know, and something that was not great for us, flaming out against Minnesota, really annoying. 52.5 the win total for the Denver Nuggets. Denver's offseason has not been a great one. Their first-round pick, out for the season, Deron Holmes. They lose Contavious Caldwell Pope, KCP signs with the Orlando Magic, and I think kind of can have taken a PR hit as well where everyone is saying now that Nuggets ownership does not want to spend enough money because it moves them into the second apron. Now, if you haven't heard these phrases, I'm not even claiming that I understand what this is. Basically, it's with the way the new NBA CBA is trying to create a lot more parity in the league where you're going to get hit with like a massive luxury tax if you spend a ton of money. So from one perspective, Denver's like, we don't want to go into the second apron to have to pay this massive luxury tax. But the counter to that would be you have one of the best players of all time in Nikola Jokic. Your window is open. Go for it, guys. Try and win the championship. Are they really trying to do that? It felt like they could have re-signed KCP. Christian Brown's going to replace KCP in the starting lineup. Now, we did get some news before the show today. Russell Westbrook going to get traded to the Utah Jazz bought out by Utah got a sign with the Denver Nuggets and Russell will be the sixth man off the bench for Denver this season um you said with some of these teams they're going to lose more than the market expects mathematically they have to uh I think that could be Denver this year even if Jokic is just as good I would only bet the under on the Denver Nuggets heading into the season where are you at here with Nikola Jokic in”
Denver finished the 2024-25 regular season 50-32, below the 52.5-win line (ESPN standings). (Denver Nuggets 50-32)
Los Angeles Lakers under 44.5 wins
“Lakers' win total this year, Ken, as we continue on in the Western Conference, 44-and-a-half after the Lakers struck out on Klay Thompson and struck out on DeMar DeRozan. drafting Dalton Connect, who presumably will play a pretty big role on the team this season. J.J. Redick, the new head coach of the L.A. Lakers. And I'm sure this will be something we discuss. Guests have said it this week. We said it last season throughout the year on the show. The Lakers got great health last year from LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Will they get it again this year? 44.5, Ken, for the Lakers. Yeah, I really like the under. when they first when when the win totals first came out you were off and the first thing I just said is I don't really understand why this is 44 and a half it just relies on too many things that seem unreliable in order to even come close to hitting a number like this it's not that they got even good health last year and it wasn't even just those two players LeBron started 71 games last year which for somebody who's basically 40 at this point is crazy and cannot be relied on uh anthony davis somehow played more than that despite being like even more of an injury risk he started 76 games last year anthony davis that's that's crazy austin reeves played in every game these are the three best players on the team that's that's the best injury luck of all time and they basically from a net rating standpoint played like exactly this team 45 wins that's what with getting all of that that's what they played like maybe darvin ham was so bad and reddick so good and that's the missing piece to all of this and why it's going to go better there just isn't even if you go to the year before when lebron and ad were not playing as often there's not a lot of evidence that the two of them together at this age are worth more than like a 44 45 win team and they're frequently going to be less than that like that's their their ceiling seems like a 45 win team when everything goes great and as much as a coach can matter and darvin ham could be bad and reddick could be good i don't like lebron james is still the coach of the team just like he is in all the other teams so i just reddick's maybe reddick's awesome i don't even know if it matters for like a long regular season where you just need these guys to play so um i don't know if it's my favorite bet in the conference but i do think it's a bet worth making uh just you're you're depending again if if lebron plays a ton of games and by the way still plays at as high of a level as he played last year if both those things are true and davis plays in basically every game of the season and austin reeves plays in every game of the season which is more reliable understood but like all these things happen is good and like connect is good right and like you know Hachimura gives you a lot and D'Angelo Russell played in like 76 games last year too by the way if we're talking about last year everybody plays in the max and LeBron and Davis play as well as they played last year this is the number you get when that happens not better than this this is the number you get when that happens that's crazy that's that's nuts to me like I just it's okay yeah it's gonna be 45 sometimes and it's gonna be 40 a lot and 41 a lot and 42 a lot and 43 a lot and 45 is one of the numbers, but that's the everything goes great number. Redick's not drawn up some magical play in a timeout that makes it different than that, at least in my opinion. And it doesn't even matter to me how good he is if those are kind of the facts of the case about player availability. I like the under more than the things we've talked about so far. Doesn't it feel like they know, like the Lakers know, that they're not going to be a championship contender this year? Like they could want to be one. I'm sure they'd love to win the NBA championship. Doesn't it feel like they know with the language that's been used around the rhetoric hire that it's not just for LeBron. It's to bring the young players. Right. And tutor the young players. Basically get to the next generation of what the Lakers are going to be post LeBron James. It feels to me like they know. And if they know, they're probably right because it's them. And they're not going to be very good this season. Like you said, like 45 is possible. But I just like I'd love to have someone make an intelligent case for the over and have it not be what Ken said, which is all these things have to go right. And just think about the other teams that we've talked about, whether it's the Mavericks and the Nuggets and the Rockets and the teams we haven't even gotten to yet. Memphis and Minnesota, the Pelicans, I think, are a team that has a lot of variance one way or another. Oklahoma City, we haven't talked about the Suns yet. I like Sacramento this year. There aren't that many wins to go around. So I'm with you here. I like a couple of things better in the West than Lakers under, but I I you can catch me dead betting and over on the LA Lakers this season just no way no way”

Oklahoma City Thunder over 55.5 wins
“Next team is Oklahoma City, 55 and a half. Alex Caruso comes in. Isaiah Hartenstein comes in, which hurts me as a Knicks fan, but how can you say anything other than it's a really great move by the Thunder? I think they're going to win 60 games. I love this over for Oklahoma City, which sounds crazy because it's so high. They're awesome. Over.”
Oklahoma City finished the 2024-25 regular season 68-14, above the 55.5-win line (ESPN standings). (Oklahoma City Thunder 68-14)
Portland Trail Blazers under 21.5 wins
“21.5 is the win total. Chauncey Billups returns as head coach. They did draft Donovan Klingon, who we both really like. Or Donovan Klingon, as some of our guests have called him Klingon. All right, already, we'll all Klingon. Scoot Henderson, Jaden Sharp, Simons. Pretty interesting backcourt for Portland. I guess the question that I ask when I think about the Blazers, and I asked this to myself earlier, how are they going to win 22 games? how's it happening like what's the series of events that unfolds like scoots got to be so much better than he was right sharps got to reach his potential like what had clingan's got to be amazing immediately i guess it's possible uh i'd only bet an under here on the blazers uh just a properly rated awful team they won 21 games last year i mean it's just you know it's 21”

Cleveland Cavaliers over 46.5 wins
“at 33 to one right now atkinson is at bet mgm and out of all the teams in the eastern conference um this is the win total that i feel the most strong about right now would be the Cavs to go over where they won 47 last year and all their best players missed a lot of times It's like if they get a little better health this year with ostensibly a better coach in Kenny Atkinson, I definitely think the Cavs could win 50-plus games this coming season. So it's the win total I feel strongest about right now would be the Cavs over 46.5 wins.”
Cleveland finished the 2024-25 regular season 64-18, above the 46.5-win line (ESPN standings). (Cleveland Cavaliers 64-18)

“Ken, your NBA draft betting strategy. I mean, I just think the only thing I can offer people, I don't have good information like we do on the NFL draft. I've heard a couple things. Nick and I both heard, like Terrence Shannon, top 20 or earlier than people think is something that we heard if people are interested. Jay Bellis came on. He says Zach Eadie kind of under 15 and a half, thinks his range is less than that. You can go listen to Matt's interview, Jay's interview, if you want their stuff that's why we had so many guests on today like here here's the people who know right um my only theory here is especially like after one and two so basically three four five six seven eight nine ten i think are open in a lot of places um what are reasonably logical players just from a talent standpoint who could not rumored to the team ignore all that logic like logical players to go in some of those spots who were like 20 30 40 to 1 and in each case like it's going to be a different set of players try to gather up as many of those as possible and my guess is you would have a good chance of hitting like a couple which means you would win money for the night just because i think with trades and with the like lack of difference between player quality i i don't think it's possible to predict necessarily who's going to go in what order into what team and the market is kind of like indicating oh no it's going to be that guy it's going to be that guy it's going to be that guy i think that's all total guesswork and you could play against it i don't think it's like dump a bunch of money in but i think that that's how i'd play it tonight if i wanted to bet the draft i put a couple bucks on the devon carter under and the Zach Edey under based on what our guest said today and i i think i've talked about a lot i have stefan castle to go number one like and a preposterous number and i'm gonna lose the bet it's gonna be awesome”

France to win in regulation (-110)
“is the key like if i said hey belgium's four to one to beat france yeah like give me like a an england slovakia market here yeah i might i mean i might bet what's france in the 90 uh for minus 110 and that's that's not bad right we haven't we haven't remotely seen the best of france yet in the tournament because of mbappe not playing so much um total is two and a half juiced way under like belgium can't score yeah you like the over i thought you were i thought you i thought that's why you're saying you did juiced way under i thought you were gonna say over sorry well i I mean, look, Belgium gets chances every game, and then it's the same thing every tournament with this team. Every single tournament. Good chances, and none of them go away. France has been—I was going to say France has been pretty impotent. They played—Austria might be good, and then played the Netherlands without Mbappe, and then Mbappe first came back with the mask. They did score against Poland. Right, and they had a ton of other chances. Yeah, I like the idea that France, their best performances are ahead of them. but look I mean Francis conceded one goal in the entire tournament and it was on kind of a weirdo penalty where was it Chua Maney stepped on a guy and he like kind of wasn't supposed to or one of the center backs and and kind of drew a penalty on a on a it was not going to result in a high like like a likely scoring chance and they get a penalty out of it and then the goalie comes off his line early he had to retake the penalty that how they score That the one goal in four and a half hours That the one goal France has allowed so far I don't know, like, what Lewandowski, like, hey, you're Robert Lewandowski, you don't need to do, like, the Andrea Pirillo, like, wind up before the shot. Just shoot him. Stutter steps 75 times. And then the best part is on the second one, he did it again, and I actually thought it was going to get saved again because he did the exact same thing, and he shot in the exact same spot. And Maniel almost saved it. It was a great penalty. Yeah, but he was probably so in his head about not coming off the line again. He probably just – that's why he missed it. I mean, I – Let's start. I kind of like France. Yeah. I don't like France. I love France. Love France against – but I hate Belgium. Okay. Okay.”
1-0 — France beat Belgium 1-0 in regulation in their Euro 2024 round of 16 match.
Marko Arnautović to win Euro Golden Boot (+11000)
“Oh, by the way, I'm messaging with Dabundo right now. He likes the Austrian guy that I bet, Arnautovic, to win Golden Boot. I don't know if I did that on the air. Did you do that on the air? I didn't. No, it was off air. Oh, okay. Nick likes Arnautovic to be the Golden Boot. Arnautovic has, like, no one in the tournament has scored any goals. The leader is the guy from Georgia who's going to lose to Spain. Austria beat the Netherlands already. Arnautovic has a goal, and he takes penalties for them. He's 110 to 1. I'm just saying, like, I've made worse bets, whether I win or lose.”
Marko Arnautović scored only one goal at Euro 2024; the shared Golden Boot required three goals, so he did not win it. (Marko Arnautović: 1 goal)

England to win to nil (-110)
“And I will, I'm going to do it. I will play England to win to nil against Slovenia. I don't think Slovenia's scoring against England's defense, which, by the way, is, like, freaking awesome. England's defense is sick. Like, they can't score, and that gets the headlines. They also, like, don't really concede. Denmark had, like, the one, like, screamer goal against England. England to win to nil. You can play the under if you want also. but England to win to nil, 1-0, 2-0, minus 110 against the Slovenians.”

Florian Wirtz to be Germany top scorer
“and do have good players in attack. Cody Gakpo from Liverpool also. So I don't like the Dutch midfield and I don't like Ronald Koeman, their manager. So I will stop short of picking the Dutch to make a big tournament run. Group E, Belgium fronts this group. Now, Belgium is a team that I think people will be down on because everyone has loved the Belgians for years. And they always flame out of these tournaments. No longer the golden generation, but still have Kevin De Bruyne, still have Romelu Lukaku, among others. And I don't think this group is that strong with Ukraine, Slovakia, and Romania. I think Ukraine clearly the second best team in this group. They've got my guy, Mykhailo Mudryk, who plays for Chelsea. So I think we'll see Belgium 1, Ukraine 2, no value there. And I don't think we see a third-place team out of this group into the knockouts. And then in Group F, I do think Portugal is clearly the class of this group. Roberto Martinez, who, by the way, is represented by my agent. We have the same agent, which is pretty funny when Roberto Martinez did media. He's going to play an attacking style here with Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, among others. And look, Portugal, a wealth of attacking talent. I think they're going to play really entertaining games, and I think their talent is just going to be too much for the Czech Republic, for Turkey, and for Georgia, although I do expect Carson Beck to have at least one big game here in the group stage. Now, Patrick Schick, who is Czech's star striker, who also was on Bayern Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga this year, I think the Czech Republic will come in second in this group. So Portugal, the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Georgia, and I think Turkey is out. I don't think Turkey will make it to the knockout stage. So now we get to the knockout stage. I have the matches as follows. We'll start at the top of the bracket. Spain and Switzerland. I'll take Spain. And I think the thing that will separate Spain in this tournament from what they've been in past tournaments, they have two excellent young wingers, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, who are both really speedy. And I think this is going to be less of like the ticky-tock of Spain, pass a billion times, like have empty possession but no real attacking chances. That is what I think is going to separate this version of Spain from the last couple versions of Spain. So Spain over Switzerland. Give me Germany then over Slovenia. So Spain and Germany in one quarter. We'll move down. Portugal against Denmark. I think the Portuguese will outclass Denmark. Portugal to the quarters. Netherlands against Ukraine. I think Ukraine can scare the Netherlands, but Netherlands more talented. Netherlands over Ukraine. Belgium over Italy. Next. France over the Czech Republic. in that pod. And then at the bottom, England over Austria, and a game that I think will probably be too close to comfort for people that like England to win this tournament, and Croatia over Hungary. So now we move to the quarters. I have Spain over Germany, and what will likely be like a controversial pick, Spain over Germany, even though the tournament is in Germany. I like Spain to get past the Germans here. I think that Germany is going to be too leaky in defense. I don't like Manuel Neuer. Give me Spain over Germany. I have Portugal over the Netherlands. I have more faith in Martinez than I do Ronald Koeman and more faith in Portugal's attacking talent than I do the Dutch attacking talent. So Spain and Portugal in one semi. France over Belgium on the bottom. And I'll take Croatia to beat England in that quarterfinal where I just think like that'll be England 1-0. Croatia will equalize late. It'll end up going to penalties and England will lose because that's what always happens. So if you want to bet Croatia to make the semis, Croatia plus 600 to make the semifinal. So Spain over Portugal in one semi, France over Croatia in the other in a rematch of the 2018 World Cup title game when France slammed Croatia. I think France will beat Croatia again, and then give me Spain over France in the final as La Roja win their first European championship since 2012 when they won the World Cup in 2010 and then won the European championship in 2012. So Spain to win. Other bets coming up, and I'll give my specific game bets for the weekends in the Power Hour.”

I also don't really feel like laying the Rangers. I guess the Rangers puck line would be where I, if I had to do something. My one thought would be, the total here is five and a half. We saw five goals scored in games. So the Rangers have scored four goals in each of the first two games of the series. The Capitals got three past Jesterkin. It's an all-in game for the Capitals. Ovechkin got called out by Spencer Carberry. Like, any thoughts are over five? Like, I kind of think the total in this game should be six, not five and a half. I know that's kind of a crazy thing to say. It's only a half goal difference. But I actually think, like, this should be adjusted up a little bit here, given everything that I said. So I think I'm going to bet the Ovechkin. That's how I'm going to bet this game. I'm going to put a couple bucks on over five and a half. Sure.”

It certainly has all the familiar symptoms of a game that would go to overtime at 1 How about this Here my prediction I think we get No it won because DeSmith playing I was going to say it going to go to like triple overtime but it won Maybe one overtime, though. It would have to be a lot different. I mean, even one overtime is a little. I just, they just, when it's not Demko, they just suck. They're just not very good. That's all it is. And there's a chance. Will it go to six? No, right? Only because I only ask that because the overs, five and a half is juice big time. Under five and a half is even money. I like that. reds in the under some exact scores with overtime yeah something like that i like nashville um but i i hear your point on the under and and maybe maybe you get a vancouver response that i'm”

Best home team in the league this season. So Winnipeg's plus 140. Total in the game is 6.5. I kind of want to take the under, but also... I'm going to play Winnipeg just because I think the price is crazy. And I could be way wrong. They could get bulldozed. I don't think Colorado should be minus 165 in any game against Winnipeg, no matter where the game is played. so i'll bet winnipeg here in this game and and you know what then maybe the chips will fall”

Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings under 6.5

I'll actually try and catch the falling knife here, and I'll play the under. I thought what Pete Blackburn said yesterday was really smart about this, and I did some reading on this also. It seems like Edmonton is going to play a little bit less of a wide-open game here with L.A. Scoring four goals in the first game, Edmonton scored seven, and then the Kings beat them playing their game in Game 2. I think Edmonton's like an F-around-and-find-out territory, and they may lose the series. I'll play under 6.5, though, coming up tonight with the Kings and the Oilers.”

Just like you, Ken, because I did the show that Monday with Brinson. You were still on vacation. I said the same thing, that I think the Cavs are going to win the series, like 4-1 or sweep them. I like Cleveland also tonight. Maybe Orlando gets game four, or maybe they don't, and the Cavs just sweep them here. I think we're going to get the brooms out. I think it's going to be a sweep. Give me the Cavs to win the game tonight on the road in Orlando and a smaller bet on the under.”

“to Sunday, Ken, Panthers minus 165 in game one against Tampa. Total in the game is six juiced under. I like Boston a lot as a potential Stanley Cup champion. I ran all my final stuff last night. These games today won't change anything. Florida is the most likely team to me by far now to win the Stanley Cup. Boston and Vancouver exist in a second group behind them. The Bruins price is better, which is why I talked about that yesterday. The Bruins also went 4-0 against the Panthers, who they're going to play in the second round. I think the winner of Panthers-Bruins actually wins the stanley cup a lot that's how i'm approaching the bracket and we can talk about the west you know next week or whatever uh i bet a couple panthers in the con smith market the obvious choices kachuk reinhardt bobrofsky i think are pretty good just price shop them um i like the panthers in this series also i think the lightning are the most overrated team in the tournament probably versus how people feel about them i love how we would get like a 2011 stanley cup final rematch hopefully no riots this time on the streets of vancouver if things don't go well for the canucks if indeed we get that match up uh tim thomas would drop the puck at uh at center ice if we got the Bruins and the Canucks, along with Roberto Luongo. No bet for me in game number one, like the Panthers in the series against Tampa, and we will close the hockey portion of this segment with the Rangers and the Caps on Sunday.

Cleveland Cavaliers -1.5 games (+110)
“I like Orlando a lot, and in the right matchup, I think I might have liked Orlando. I guess my issue is, and Will, you know, I think if you're going to be right here with the Magic, Donovan Mitchell has not looked great. And I think, obviously, if you like the Cavaliers and you want to have a lot of confidence in them, you'd like to know that Donovan Mitchell is going to be really healthy. I guess, you know, Orlando really wants to get down and dirty and make it a really, really physical game. Like, they're not beating any team by winning, like, 125-122. Because where is the scoring coming from? Like, Bancaro is not – he has games where he can be really brilliant. I don't have confidence he can do that over the balance of, like, an entire series. Like, Suggs is good. Wagner's good. I don't know if any of these guys are good enough to, like, put up the type of scoring numbers that can win you a high-scoring game. So Orlando's kind of like this grindy team, and I kind of think the same thing is true of Cleveland, except Cleveland has Donovan Mitchell, a guy that can score 40 in a big game if he's right. I like the Cavs here in this series. I think the way I want to play it as opposed to laying the 190, I want to play the Cavs minus a point and a half, plus 110, where they win 4-2, 4-1 or sweep, and I win with my Cleveland Cavaliers bet, leaning towards laying the points with the Cavs in game number one on Saturday. I have a couple days to make that decision, but I like the Cavs coming up in the series against Orlando, and again, me and Ken Barkley back on Wednesday.”
Cleveland beat Orlando 4-3, a one-game series margin that did not cover Cavaliers -1.5 games (ESPN). (Cavaliers won series 4-3)

I feel like they're out of gas big time here. Nashville trying to hold on to the first wildcard spot. Hold off Vegas for that spot. Saros in net tonight for the Predators.
