722 total · 22 pending“[1:01:03] I think this will be a 54 team 55 wins is plus 225 So if I think they going to win 54 if I getting plus 225 I guess that a bet for me [1:01:24] If I'm setting it at 54 and you get 2.25 to 1 at 55, yeah, I like that.”
“[1:02:32] LeBron to average [1:02:33] 18 points per game minus 150. [1:02:37] Yeah, I would take that bet.”
“but we'll just do an even money money line bet i'll take the chiefs you take the broncos he said yes”
“friends at hard rock bet first off we've got the nfc east and the dallas cowboys are set at eight and a half wins uh it's minus 135 on the over plus 110 on the under so a little juice on the over the cow the whole nfc east their divisional matchups are the afc south and nfc west not easy afc south again i think median difficulty nfc west very tough dallas's strength of schedule games however i am pretty unlucky this is because they have the second place schedule de manzi which means they draw tampa instead of carolina baltimore instead of pittsburgh and green bay instead of chicago now i think i think chicago is better than Green Bay but you could argue those are the three toughest teams in those divisions They draw them all with a second-place schedule rather than a first-place schedule. But I think this is too low. I think the Cowboys are going to draft two defensive players in the first round. I think their offense is excellent. eight and a half. I thought Schottenheimer did a good job last year, and I don't think the rest of the division has a great team in it. And so we'll talk more about Philly in a minute. And so I think this is too low, and Dallas right now is my preseason lean for divisional winner. I think Dallas wins 11 games next year.”
“We got Philly. Their win total is at 10.5, plus 105 on the over, minus 125 on the under. So a little juice to the under. So they get the opposite of Dallas in that they have the first-place strength of schedule, but it really seems easier than Dallas' second-place strength of schedule. Their strength of schedule games are Pittsburgh, Carolina, and Chicago. This is an under to me. I think Sirianni enters the year on the hottest seat of just about any coach in the league this side of Todd Bowles. I think because they're going to have to trade A.J. Brown, I think they will after the draft, they're not going to get any benefit from that this year. They're going to get future draft capital i think the aging and the some of the uncertainty on the offensive line which has been such a huge position of strength for them plus some of the players they lost defensively in free agency i think this is a you know bit of a we saw it throughout last year to a from Philly. Could they make the playoffs? Sure. Could they win 10 games and maybe win the division? Maybe, but I think this is an under. I think they are more likely to win nine games than they are to win 12 games, and so at 10.5, I'll go with the under. Next.”
“Commander is set at 7.5, wins minus 110 on the over, minus 110 on the under. Their strength to schedule games are Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Minnesota. They, of course, play their own division plus the AFC South and NFC West. This is an under. I don't think they, despite”
“Our overs are, we are going over Dallas 8.5, over Chicago 9.5,”
“Green Bay Packers set at 10.5 wins, plus 100 on the over, minus 120 on the under. Slight under.”
“Next. Vikings are set at 8.5, plus 110 on the over, minus 135 on the under. Sorry, Paul. I'm going under.”
“Are you picking the division futures? Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. So just real quick, for the NFC, I would lean getting plus 325. I think it's a coin flip, Detroit and Chicago for the division. And so the fact that I'm getting double the odds on Chicago as I would on Detroit, I'll take Chicago. So at least right now.”
“NFC South, we got the Falcons at 7.5 wins, plus 105 on the over, minus 125 on the under. Are you picking the division futures? Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. So just real quick, for the NFC, I would lean getting plus 325. I think it's a coin flip, Detroit and Chicago for the division. And so the fact that I'm getting double the odds on Chicago as I would on Detroit, I'll take Chicago. So at least right now. All right, NFC South, they draw the AFC North and NFC North. Atlanta's third place strength of schedule games are Washington plus Kansas City and San Francisco. Bit of a bummer that that's your third place strength of schedule draw there. I will go with the under for the Falcons.”
“Oh, my bad. Carolina Panthers. Because I thought that was crazy. 6.5 wins, minus 150 on the over, plus 125 on the under. Listen, I understand that their strength of schedule games are brutal. Denver, Seattle, and Philly. but six and a half wins for a defending division champ that is returning its quarterback and coach is a slap in the face i mean they went toe-to-toe with the rams i don't love it but i will go with the over there i mean six and now there's a lot of juice on it six and a half wins is insulting”
“yeah for a defending division champion all right next you got the saints at seven and a half wins minus 120 on the over minus 105 on the under so the last place schedule for the saints doing a lot of work here their strength of schedule games in addition to playing the afc and nfc north raiders cardinals giants with that said raiders spent a lot of money The Giants we just said we thought could be mediocre I think the Saints are bad. Tyler Shuck, I thought played well last year to his credit. But they're in the midst of pulling themselves out of the abyss. I don't think they get to eight wins. I will go under in New Orleans.”
“All right, we got Tampa at 8.5 wins, minus 115 on the over, minus 105 on the under.”
“I like them at plus 160 to win the division.”
“What's the lowest win total? We got the Cardinals at four and a half wins, plus 110 on the over, and minus 135 on the under. I think they're the lowest. This is a bad job by me. Tied with the Dolphins for the lowest. Okay, that's what I thought. Their quarterback depth chart right now reads Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew Keaton Slovis which says to me they are ripe to be a team that takes a quarterback in the second or third round that has no business starting his rookie year and they start him This whole division gets the AFC West, which is brutal. NFC East, not so bad. Their strength of schedule games are Jets, Lions, and New Orleans. I think Arizona's got the makings of the worst team in their conference. I hate going under a win total that low, but I feel like they've got 0-6 in the division.”
“got the Rams at 10.5 wins minus 160 on the over plus 130 on the under if Stafford's healthy they're positioned to be the best team in the league and I love the they had one weakness last year secondary they took the Chiefs two best corners in McDuffie and Jalen Watson their strength to schedule games are Bills Green Bay and Tampa so not easy but it still feels like who's gonna be there next year well I do but I I have not read enough about that story I've only really to be totally honest just seeing the tweets and one picture it's not great and i do wonder i wonder if that's just enough for the rams to remember we said he's going to get more than jsn yeah but he hasn't signed anything yet right i i wonder what maybe they can compromise with them a little bit i don't know um but i still think they're a 13 win team that's an over next uh next we've got”
“is just right, so I'd stay away from it. Next. Seahawks at 10.5 wins, minus 135 on the over, and plus 110 on the under. Their strength of schedule games are New England, Chicago, Carolina. Not brutal for a first place team. I actually think that's an over. So I'm going to, I got two teams in that division with big win totals that I would go over on Seattle and the Rams and the”
“Chiefs at 10.5, plus 100 on the over, minus 120 on the under. All right. I must say, I adore, adore the Chiefs' strength of the schedule games. Oh, okay, yeah. The Colts, Bengals, Falcons. My goodness gracious. Finally, you don't win the division, and we end up with that. I'll take it. NFC West, obviously, is tough. So the Chiefs next year have two games against the Raiders. They get the Colts. They get the Falcons. They get the Jets. They get the Dolphins. They get the Cardinals. That's seven of their games. So if they go 6 against the bad teams to hit the over can they go 5 against Denver the Chargers the Pats the Niners Bills, Rams, Seahawks, Bengals? Now, Bills, Rams, Seahawks on the road, that's three very tough road games, no doubt about it. But the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. And winning 11 games was the absolute floor every single year prior to last year. That's too low. They're still the best team in that division. That's an over for me. And you can get plus 100 on the over.”
“all right last one oh we got the chargers at 10 and a half they're plus 115 on the over minus 140 on the under for a non-divisional winner their strength of schedule games are brutal they play the fate they play a second place schedule and every team every one of their strength of schedule games is the favorite to win the division Houston Baltimore Tampa Right Now I obviously said I not a huge believer in Houston but still they are the favorite This is a red hot under for me. This is way too, this is too high.”
“Listen, I'll definitely bet the Chiefs at 15-1 to win the Super Bowl.”
“I understand that right now on Hard Rock, the Thunder are minus one twenty to win the championship. The Knicks are plus 200. OKC's plus 600. I have bet the Knicks to win the title. I will bet them again once the matchup is set.”
The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals 4 games to 1 over the San Antonio Spurs (series ran June 3-13, 2026; Jalen Brunson won Finals MVP), per Wikipedia and corroborated by ESPN's Knicks team page showing a Knicks-Spurs Game 4 on June 10, 2026.

“All right, Demondze, let's talk a little Lakers here. So, KD missed the game one against the Lakers. Lakers are now up 1-0. They have dropped from minus 800 to minus 230 to win the series. So, Houston was without KD, and then Luka is also back at practice since yesterday. Have you seen enough to switch your pick from Houston to the Lakers? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go with the Lakers.”
4-2 — Lakers beat the Rockets 4-2 in the first round (April 18-May 1, 2026), so the Lakers won the series.

4-0 — Houston was eliminated in the first round by the Lakers, so the predicted Thunder-Rockets second-round series never happened; OKC's actual round-two opponent was the Lakers, whom the Thunder swept 4-0 (May 5-11, 2026).

“that Boston could be pretty well positioned. And I understand, listen, Vegas disagrees with me. Vegas has, our friends at Hard Rock Bet has Boston at plus 550 and OKC at damn near even money. Hard Rock Bet is almost putting OKC versus the field. They're plus 120, so they only have the field as tiny favorites over OKC. I think Boston at plus 550 is a bet.”
The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals 4-1 over the San Antonio Spurs, clinching on June 13, 2026; Boston did not win the championship (Wikipedia, sourced from Finals game log).
“Yeah, Rom, I don't remember that one. No, but Jon Rom, it was, I think you were there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I mean, I know I was watching with family.

Rory McIlroy won the 2026 Masters at 276 (-12); Jon Rahm tied for 38th at 289 (+1), so his outright to win lost (Wikipedia, tournament results).

“[10:17] And you also like Cooper Cup at plus 260? [10:21] Yes. [10:21] So I think Kenneth Walker III's going to score, [10:25] and the minus 200 price says... [10:27] Vegas obviously agrees with me on it. [10:30] I also think in the red zone that all the attention that is going to be demanded by Njigba [10:38] could open things up for Cooper Cup. [10:42] And because of that, I like Cooper Cup at plus 260.”
29-13 — Cooper Kupp caught 6 passes for 61 yards in Super Bowl LX but was not among the game's touchdown scorers (Wikipedia). (Cooper Kupp: 6 receptions, 61 receiving yards, 0 TD)

“Now quarterback props first one You got the over on Sam Darnold pass yards It over 232 at minus 115 Yeah so let me just say something about Super Bowl prop markets guys If you can, lean into two-way markets. and by two-way markets, I mean where you can bet yes and no or over and under. The problem with one-way markets is when you can only bet one side of it, you don't ever really know what the fair number is. But when they set Sam Darnold or any of these other ones we're about to give you over the next 10 minutes or so, when you can bet the over or under, and it's the same number, you're just paying the 15-cent juice, you know that is the fair number. Now, you might not like the 15-cent juice, but at least you know that's the real number. And so that's going to inform a lot of my picks here. And I think Darnold's going to have a good game. I think the Pats run defense is stiff enough that they will be able to slow down Kenneth Walker III, and Seattle's going to have to succeed through the air. And because of that, I like Darnold to have at least 245 passing yards, so I will go over 232.5.”
29-13 — Sam Darnold passed for 202 yards in Super Bowl LX, under the 232.5 line (Wikipedia). (Sam Darnold: 202 passing yards)
“in the touchdown market Demonte what is it uh Drake Maye under one and a half passing touchdowns at minus 160 so again this is a two market but the juice is obviously heavy on the under and you get plus 120 on the over If I think the Patriots are going to score less than 21 points and I think Drake Maye can run in a touchdown, we don't have enough room for more touchdowns there. So it's a little correlated, but I think that the Patriots are more likely to score on the ground than in the air against this Seattle defense. Hell, we saw how much trouble Stafford had in the red zone on their biggest drive of the season, trying to convert that third and four and then fourth and four to go ahead there. So I'll take under Drake Maye there.”
29-13 — Drake Maye threw 2 passing touchdowns (Mack Hollins, Rhamondre Stevenson) in Super Bowl LX, over the 1.5 line, so the under lost (Wikipedia). (Drake Maye: 2 passing touchdowns)
“Sam Darnold over 19.5 completions at minus 135. Yeah, so I think it's going to be a lot of Darnold passes. Not necessarily deep passes, but a lot of Darnold passes. Something like a 24 of 33 game from him. So I think he's going to get plenty of opportunities, so I will take the over there.”
29-13 — Sam Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes in Super Bowl LX, one short of the over 19.5 completions line (Wikipedia). (Sam Darnold: 19/38 completions)

29-13 — Rashid Shaheed had 1 carry for -5 rushing yards in Super Bowl LX, under the 4.5 line (Wikipedia). (Rashid Shaheed: 1 carry, -5 rushing yards)
“I also have Jackson Smith and Jigba over a half at plus 275.”
29-13 — Jaxon Smith-Njigba had no rushing attempts in Super Bowl LX (4 receptions, 27 receiving yards only), so 0 rushing yards fails the over 0.5 line (Wikipedia). (Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 0 carries, 0 rushing yards)
“Under 6.5 at minus 115. So why do you think I'm betting that? You think that Donald's going to be kneeling at the end? Yes. Correct. So I think that as long as he doesn't... How often does Donald scramble anyways? Not much. Right. So as long as he doesn't have more than 10 yards rushing, I'm live because he can lose yards on the news. Now, Mahomes famously, in one of his Super Bowls, lost 17 yards on his final three kneel downs and ruined everybody. Yeah. But, so, I think Darnold, it's certainly on the board, Darnold ends the game with zero yards rushing. I'm sorry, with negative yards rushing. That he never scrambles and that he just takes knees at the end but I take the under six and a half that can be live even if the over hits Now for the Patriots there is only one rushing prop I like”
29-13 — Sam Darnold rushed 2 times for 5 yards in Super Bowl LX, under the 6.5-yard line (Wikipedia). (Sam Darnold: 2 carries, 5 rushing yards)
“You like Drake Maye over 37.5 at minus 120. Yeah, I just think he's going to have to be running a lot in this game. And I think Seattle's susceptible to it. That is a huge number for a quarterback. Yeah, and then minus 120. Yeah, a little juice, minus 110 on the under, so a little juice on the over. But I like Drake Maye to have 45, 50 rushing yards, and I'm not worried about him taking these at the end. So I'll lay that big number.”
29-13 — Drake Maye rushed 5 times for 37 yards in Super Bowl LX, just under the 37.5-yard line (Wikipedia). (Drake Maye: 5 carries, 37 rushing yards)
“You got on the Seahawks side Rasheed Shahid at over 22.5 at minus 115. Yeah, I think one big Rasheed catch. yeah i you know i think one explosive Rashid Shaheed play and you know i've been big on him all year 15 16 yards like one more pass to him right which by the way i'm not sure you know he's not going to be a huge part of their you know down to down attack but i think he could have one explosive reception so i'll take over there and then for the patriots there's one under and”
29-13 — Rashid Shaheed caught 2 passes for 27 receiving yards in Super Bowl LX, over the 22.5 line (Wikipedia). (Rashid Shaheed: 2 receptions, 27 receiving yards)
“So you like the under 27 and a half at minus 115, Matt Collins, sorry, for the receiving yards. And, and the, so, and say the over. Demario Douglas, Demario Douglas over 10 and a half at minus 115 as well. So I just think Douglas is going to be a bigger part of the game plan than Matt Collins. Douglas who caught the big fourth down touchdown catch and run against Houston was it that might have been I don't know if that was Houston or if that was the Chargers regardless um Matt Collins had been out injured Matt Collins came back last week caught the flea flicker I don't think Matt Collins is going to be a huge part of this game and I think Pop Douglas will make at least one catch so Pop Douglas over 10 and a half Matt Collins under 27 seven and a half those are oddly a little correlated in my brain at least so that's where i land on”
29-13 — Mack Hollins caught 4 passes for 78 receiving yards (including a 35-yard TD) in Super Bowl LX, well over the 27.5-yard line, so the under busts (Wikipedia). (Mack Hollins: 4 receptions, 78 receiving yards)
“So I just think Douglas is going to be a bigger part of the game plan than Matt Collins. Douglas who caught the big fourth down touchdown catch and run against Houston was it that might have been I don't know if that was Houston or if that was the Chargers regardless um Matt Collins had been out injured Matt Collins came back last week caught the flea flicker I don't think Matt Collins is going to be a huge part of this game and I think Pop Douglas will make at least one catch so Pop Douglas over 10 and a half Matt Collins under 27 seven and a half those are oddly a little correlated in my brain at least so that's where i land on”
29-13 — DeMario Douglas caught 5 passes for 45 receiving yards in Super Bowl LX, over the 10.5 line (Wikipedia). (DeMario Douglas: 5 receptions, 45 receiving yards)
“that and now receptions props uh receptions for seahawks we got Kenneth Walker III the third at over two and over under two and a half at plus 100 yeah i just don think that they going to have three catches I think that the Patriots linebackers have been pretty good this year covering running backs out of the backfield. I think Kenneth Walker III's more going to be used as a blocker and as an actual running back. So I'll take under 2.5 catches for him, and then there are two Patriots.”
29-13 — Kenneth Walker III had 2 receptions in Super Bowl LX, under the 2.5 line (Wikipedia). (Kenneth Walker III: 2 receptions)
“I'll first let the, I I'm just going to go down with the Travion Henderson's not going to be involved in the passing game ship. I'll take under a half reception for him at plus one 40.”
29-13 — TreVeyon Henderson had 3 receptions in Super Bowl LX, over the 0.5-reception line, so the under busts (Wikipedia). (TreVeyon Henderson: 3 receptions)
“I just don't think he's going to catch a pass. And then what's the one over I have? You got Stefon Diggs over four and a half at minus one 25. So I did not note notably, Diggs' receiving yards is only 45.5, and I'm not betting that. I am betting him over receptions, and we have seen some games like this this year for Diggs”
29-13 — Stefon Diggs had 3 receptions in Super Bowl LX, under the 4.5-reception line (Wikipedia). (Stefon Diggs: 3 receptions)
“Yeah, listen, I think Demarcus Lawrence is going to put Will Campbell in hell.”

“away from that, and then I have one team total prop I like. Yeah, so you like the Patriots under 18.5 points at 115, plus 115. Yeah, I mean, if my score prediction is 27-17, I'll just roll with the under because I'm getting a little bit of plus money on that, and I have an extra point”
29-13 — New England scored 13 points in Super Bowl LX, under the 18.5 team-total line (Wikipedia).

29-13 — Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards versus Drake Maye's 295 yards in Super Bowl LX, so Darnold did not have most passing yards (Wikipedia). (Darnold 202 passing yards vs. Maye 295 passing yards)

Listen, that's what he was brought in to do. He's done it already throughout his brief Seattle career. I think 7-1 is a good bet. Jackson Smith and Jigma could blow this up on me. Keyshawn Booty could blow this up on me, but I'll take Rashid Shahid at plus 700.”

He didn't play well against Carolina, by the way. I think Seattle's better. I think it makes more sense for Seattle to be the one seed.

I also don't know what Herbert's status is. With that said, Philly is the least trustworthy offense on any team that's not awful that I've seen in years. So I don't love laying points. However, I think the overall roster talent, plus health of the quarterbacks, plus quality of D-line versus O-line, so favors the Eagles.

So not great analysis there, I'll be honest, but that's what I'm rolling with. So my five picks are, in order of confidence, I'm going to read them to you. Seattle, minus seven at Atlanta.

He has not looked like Lamar since he came back from his injury, and he is refusing to run the ball, which is super noteworthy because that has a knock-on effect on his passing and on the team's overall efficiency.

This one, I ended up landing on, I just think Washington is going to be able to score a bunch of points. The reason I struggled with it is, I could see a scenario where Washington scores 28 and doesn't cover. like I think Detroit might score every time they have the ball and so I do not trust Washington's defense against the Lions at all but Jaden's been so good in big spots Washington somewhat neutralizes the Lions fourth down edge that they have on most teams because Washington goes for it on fourth down as aggressively and as much as any team in the league. And there obviously will be backdoor cover potential where even if Detroit is up 14 points, Washington's going to be fighting to the very end. I'd really, really would love if this thing could touch 10 points. so you can, you know, if they're down 17, your bet's not dead because of the backdoor cover. But again, I do not have as much conviction in this game as I do in the other three, but we pick every game of the playoffs because I think Detroit's defense is a truly beleaguered unit right now. I will take Washington plus the points, but as you can hear, I'm my hearts. I don't this is I don't have a great feel for it. And full disclosure to the audience, this is a game I will not be betting. So the deal I have with the audience during the regular season is we have a full slate of games. I pick my five favorite and I bet all five games in the playoffs. I pick every single game. So I don't feel the obligation to bet every single game. If I don't have a good feel for it, this is the hardest one for me, but I'll take Washington plus the points.”

- Patrick Mahomes 0 interceptions pending
“So your offer this week is going to be Carolina under 7.5 points at plus 390, and Mahomes to throw zero interceptions at plus 100, total parlay value at plus 880. I hate to disappoint the audience, but I'm going to have to turn this offer down. Holding a team under 8 is really hard. Those odds should be way higher for that, right? Yes, that's how I feel. I couldn't believe that it was only plus 390. The Panthers twice this year have been held under 8 points. Against the Chargers, they scored 3. And against the Commanders, they scored seven. But they've won two in a row, scoring 23-20. Bryce playing a little bit better. So under 13, that I think is totally reasonable, or under 14, I should say. Under eight, I can't do. So I sadly have to turn the offer down. Last week, the offer I gave out was the Travis Kelsey touchdown. That didn't hit. But I didn't mind the process on it because Noah Gray got two touchdowns. So the idea the Chiefs were going to get down in the deep red zone and find a tight end was correct, but it was Noah Gray for both of them instead of Kelsey. Under 13-and-a-half, they're putting it in there right now, I think, what the plus is. It is. Under 13 and a half and no picks for Mahomes is plus 348. All right, I'll take that one.”
KC 30, CAR 27 — Carolina scored 27 points (over 13.5) as Kansas City won 30-27, so the under-13.5 leg fails; Patrick Mahomes threw 0 interceptions, so that leg wins — but the parlay busts on the failed total (ESPN box score). (Mahomes: 27/37, 269 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT)

“You've got Cleveland plus eight and a half versus Baltimore. Yeah, I just, I'm just going to be, my logic on this is twofold. First one, AFC North games, you should not be laying more than a touchdown in any circumstance. It's divisional games. The division's too well contested. You shouldn't ever be laying more than 8.5. And by the way, to back that up, Dogs in AFC North divisional games are 45-31 against the spread in their last 76 games or whatever that is. But here's the other reason. The Browns team just got a new lease on the season with Jameis being the quarterback. You are going to see more excitement and belief in that offense than you have seen all year. And Baltimore, the one thing they can't do is defend the pass. Now, I understand Amari Cooper's gone. I'm not acting like Jameis is going to be great. Finish game strong as well. Oh, yeah. That's right. The backdoor is always. Yes, the backdoor is always wide open with the Ravens. You're 100% correct on that. And so do I feel great about betting Jameis Winston and the Cleveland Browns in any spot? I don't. But do I feel like that a home divisional dog of eight and a half points is almost a must fire, especially if you think that team's defense in Cleveland is pretty decent. I do. So I'll take Baltimore plus the eight and a half next.”

Miami, this is a bit of a, I don't want to say a trap game spot, but Miami's massive game is next week against Baltimore and then the following week against Buffalo. If there was ever a week that they could, I don't want to say overlook because it's national TV, they're at home, they're playing a great team, but they have massive games coming up in Week 17 and 18.

You let Drew Locke go 92 yards in 90 seconds. The idea that Tommy DeVito can't get a backdoor cover out of this. If you can't stop Drew Locke to win a game, then anybody can cook on you. The Philly defense is in shambles. They had Matt Patricia call him plays. Matt Patricia famously carries around a pencil even though his play sheet's laminated and you can't reuse a pencil and laminate a piece of paper, but he does it because he's trying to cosplay as Bill Belichick. Yeah, I'll take the Giants getting a dozen points in a divisional game.”

Played well against the Chiefs twice. played well against Josh Allen. I just think Minnesota is a better team than the Denver Broncos, and I think right now Denver on a short week after an emotional win is primed for a bit of a letdown spot.

Our buddy Mark Carmen during training camp who covers the Bears said he thought Tyson Badgett might be better than Justin Fields, but he was afraid to say that publicly.

“your first bet is the Giants plus 10.5 at San Francisco yep that's tonight so I know Daniel Jones is 1-11 in his career in Thursday night games also that's a lot of Thursday night games for Daniel Jones. That's like two a year. That's a crazy amount. But I don't need him to win outright. I need him to cover. And he's 19-8 against the spread on the road or in neutral sites in his career. And oddly, he's the most profitable quarterback in the last four years on short rest. Also, these Thursday night games are almost always sloppy, poorly played games. The last Thursday night game we saw Eagles-Vikings, there were five fumbles in that game. If you're giving me double-digit points for any team with a pulse on a Thursday night, I'm going to take it. And I don't think this is the type of game San Francisco looks at like, oh, we're trying to run up the score. San Francisco is looking at this as, let's get out of here with a win, and then we have a mini-bye leading into an actual bye, and by an actual bye I mean a home game against the Cardinals before they play one of the biggest games of the year against Dallas on Sunday Night Football in Week 5. I'm going to go ahead and plant my flag on this. I think Brock Purdy turns it over tonight. And I know the Giants have no Saquon and I know they don have their left tackle but I think that they going to be able to move the ball somewhat And so I like the Giants to cover the 10 in this spot”

Now, this, would you agree, Damanze, is an absolute must-win for the Patriots. If they want to have any hope of making the postseason, they have to win. And so I just, the Jets, they've beaten the Jets. I think that game's going to suck. I think that continues. Yeah, of course. Of course it is. It would be a really bad football game. It would be miserable. It's going to be a terrible football game. But I like the Patriots a lot there.”
NE 15, NYJ 10 — Patriots beat Jets 15-10, covering -2.5 (ESPN box score).
“All right, you got Jacksonville minus 8.5 versus Houston. All right, every single note the producers gave me on this is bad for Jacksonville. Fifth worst against the spread under Trevor Lawrence. Peterson, 24-30 against the spread as a favorite. Week 3 Road Dogs cover 63% of the time the last few years. Houston's the sharpest play of the week With 43% of the bets and 84% of the money So why am I picking them? Here's why Right now People Are late to this party The Chiefs have a great defense And that is affecting how they feel about the Jags The Jags were supposed to be carried by their offense But we just saw a game where they couldn't score a touchdown against what people think is a mediocre defense. It's not a mediocre defense. It's a great defense. And because of that, people are doubting the Jags' ability to go beat a Texans team by two scores. They are at home. They also, I hate to sound cliche, this isn't a must win, but it's must win adjacent. If you Jacksonville your home game against the Texans is a game you got to have if you going to be you know not only win the division but potentially be you know a top two seed in the AFC Trevor absolutely will bounce back The Texans have injuries on their offensive line and in their secondary. CJ Stroud was excellent last week through for 380 yards. I expect, you know, he's a rookie quarterback. I expect that to go up and down. I think this is something along the lines of 27-10, 34-17. This is a game I don't do these bets, but I might this week. An alternate line for the Jags, like the Jags minus 16.5 might be a play that I make for this game. The Jags minus 8.5, I love it. Last one.”
HOU 37, JAX 17 — Texans beat Jaguars 37-17; Jacksonville lost by 20, missing the -8.5 cover (ESPN box score).

I am teasing the Jags from, they were when I made it, minus nine and a half down to plus a half point, meaning the Jags just to win. And I am teasing the Patriots up to plus seven and a half. so it's a four team 10 point teaser where the patriots have to win or lose by a touchdown or less the jags have to win outright or i guess tie they were to go to overtime and tie the plus a half point gets me a victory there and then the chiefs and the cowboys both have to win by at least a field goal that's a four team 10 point even money teaser that is my second teaser of the”

“All right, so first off, you've got Jags minus 4.5 at Indy. Let's talk about that one. Okay. So do you just want to go ahead and give all the reasons that this is a terrible bet? that the producers have put in the notes. Let's do it. So you went 1-7 betting on the Jags last year. We all remember that. Okay, before, yes, but that is only because the producers bullied me out of betting on them the moment they started their hot streak. I bet on the Jags basically every week. The producers made me stop, and then they immediately became the hottest team in the NFL. It was ridiculous. So that should be more like 7-7, but they wouldn't let me do it. Go ahead. All right. Well, Trevor is 4-14 on the road straight up. It's pretty big. Don't care about that. It doesn't matter. That includes the organization. Urban Meyer era. And lastly, go ahead. Last thing, the Jaguars haven't won an Indy since 2017. That is when I graduated high school, by the way. Okay, I don't care about any of that. Here's what I know. We believe in the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is Anthony Richardson's first start. I understand this is a, you know, I am taking a road dog as my first pick of the year. I'm sorry, road favorite, pardon me. as my first pick of the year. And it goes against all these trends. Don't care. The Jags are going to score 31 points. Indy's going to be happy to get to 17. I love this bet.”

“All right, next you've got New England at home plus four versus Philly. Okay. The entire gambling world is going to be on Philadelphia. The Patriots offensive line is banged up The Eagles have this amazing pass rush The Patriots looked terrible last year Why is this line not higher Here what I know Belichick I don't want to say he's on the hot seat. What I will say is he really wants Don Shula's record, and he needs to have either two more good seasons or three more mediocre seasons to get there. I don't know if Kraft is going to give him that time if they're a disaster this year. Philly coming off the Super Bowl hangover. I'm getting points at home with the better coach. The crowd is going to be insane because they are retiring Brady's jersey and putting him in the ring of honor. all of that so we i know the graphics right now say jacksonville but in new england getting four points i don't need them to win i just need them to keep it close new england getting four points against philadelphia what do the producers think of that”

“You've got Green Bay plus one and a half at Chicago. Yeah, I mean, they're the far better team. They have the better coach. They have, for this game, potentially the better quarterback. This might be one of the only games all year, Green Bay. We'll see. Listen, I think Justin Fields might end up being really good, but he struggled massively throwing the football last year. His passing was The Packers, and I think Jordan Love will be solid just from being able to sit for three years. The Packers, I think, are super motivated. The Packers had their spouse of 15 years leave them immediately get in shape start going to the gym get some things worked on and start telling the whole world how much they love their new girlfriend So they're motivated. The Packers' defense is good. The running game is good. Their weapons are good. I think Green Bay wins this game outright. I like the Packers a lot.”

If it moves to two, it doesn't kill you. But it could, especially now that Nick Bosa has signed. If it becomes fully confirmed he's 100% playing, maybe it moves to three and you get that super useful extra half point but that pittsburgh defense against what could be a gun-shy brock purdy and the niners in pittsburgh tomlin coaching i like pittsburgh this is my favorite bet of the week i think the line is wrong i think pittsburgh is as good as San Francisco this year, and they are at home and they're getting points. This is also, I don't know if it's on your, you already submitted your teaser card. I don't know if this is on there. But this is as perfect of a teaser leg as there is because you would get them through all the key numbers, through 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8. and obviously the biggest numbers are 3, 6, and 7, but 4 and 8 are kind of nice.

“And so here are our division winner bets. Deora, tell us the first one and the plus number behind it. And yes to the producers, what you just put in the chat, that is correct. Go ahead, give it to me. Dolphins plus 290. Yep. Steelers? No, no, no. We'll stay just one by one. I think the Dolphins, remember how we said, rather than bet the Dolphins over 9.5 and Leia Vig, bet the Dolphins to win the division and get nearly 3-1. So for these next three divisional bets, if we win one of them, we break even. If we win two of them, we win big. If we win all three, it's a massive, massive victory, obviously. So the Dolphins, if Tua is healthy, they absolutely can win 12 games. that's enough to win the AFC East this year. The Dolphins plus 290.”
The Buffalo Bills won the AFC East at 11-6; the Dolphins also finished 11-6 but lost the division on tiebreaker and did not win it. (Bills 11-6 (AFC East champions), Dolphins 11-6, 2nd in AFC East)
“Steelers plus 470. Getting nearly 5-1 on the Steelers to win the AFC North. If I'm correct and the Bengals are not going to win 12 or 13 games and the Ravens are going to stumble a bit, The Steelers, which won nine games last year with TJ Watt missing seven, with Kenny Pickett as a rookie. If Pickett, even if he's not great, and I don't think he's great, has any type of year two jump, and Watt is healthy with Tomlin, the Steelers absolutely can win the AFC. We're getting plus 470, so instead of betting the Steelers to win at least 9 games and laying minus 150, why not bet them to win 11 games, essentially, and the division at plus 470?”
The Baltimore Ravens won the AFC North at 13-4; the Steelers finished 10-7, 3rd in the division, and did not win it. (Ravens 13-4 (AFC North champions), Steelers 10-7, 3rd in AFC North)
“The Packers plus 350. yeah so the Packers if you think Jordan Love's going to be fine they're going to have a good running game they're going to have a good defense those young receivers you know kind of pop unless you believe Detroit or Minnesota are going to be awesome and I don't believe I think they'll be fine I don't think either will be awesome I could bet the Packers to win at least eight games at minus 150 or the Packers to win nine or ten games ten will probably be enough to win the division and get them at plus 350.”
The Detroit Lions won the NFC North at 12-5; the Packers finished 9-8, 2nd in the division, and did not win it. (Lions 12-5 (NFC North champions), Packers 11-6, 2nd in NFC North)
“The Falcons plus 210. I think they're the best team in the NFC South. I think Bijan Robinson is going to instantly be one of the most dynamic offensive players in the league. Drake London had an underrated, awesome rookie season. He had as good of a rookie season as, almost as good of a rookie season, I should say, as Garrett Wilson with just as poor quarterback play. the Dolphins, Indoors, B. John Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts. If Ritter has a pulse, they're the favorites to me in that division. We're getting them plus 210.”
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South at 9-8 on tiebreaker; the Falcons finished 7-10, tied for 3rd, and did not win the division. (Buccaneers 9-8 (NFC South champions), Falcons 7-10)
“And the last one, I said I was doubling down on the Seahawks. Deora? The Seahawks plus 230. Yeah, I think the Seahawks win that division. And I am very confident the Seahawks are at least 500. I am pretty confident the Niners will regress. Both of those things happen. The Seahawks win 10 or 11 games They win the division”
The San Francisco 49ers won the NFC West at 12-5; the Seahawks finished 9-8, 3rd in the division, and did not win it. (49ers 12-5 (NFC West champions), Seahawks 9-8, 3rd in NFC West)
- Jaguars to win AFC South
- Chiefs to win AFC West
“And like any smart gambler, our biggest bet is going to be a parlay. Deora, what is it? Jags-Chiefs. Jags-Chiefs division winner parlay plus 156. The Chiefs have won the AFC West seven years in a row. The Jags are about to win the AFC South for the next seven years. We get the two guys that will be considered the two best quarterbacks in football at the end of the year. They both have to win the two softer divisions in the AFC. We get them at plus money.”
Leg 1 lost: the Houston Texans (10-7) won the AFC South, not Jacksonville (9-8). Leg 2 won: the Chiefs (11-6) won the AFC West. One losing leg sinks the parlay. (Texans 10-7 (AFC South champions); Chiefs 11-6 (AFC West champions))
“Chiefs, Cowboys, and Jags make plus $160.”
Kansas City (11-6) and Dallas (12-5) made the 2023-24 playoffs, but Jacksonville finished 9-8 and missed the postseason, so the three-team playoff parlay lost. (Jaguars 2023: 9-8, missed playoffs)
“The Jets miss plus 110. Yeah. So remember how I said there's a better way? Rather than betting the Jets under 9.5 at plus 100, why would you not bet the Jets to miss the playoffs at plus 110?”
The New York Jets finished 7-10 in 2023 and missed the playoffs. (Jets 2023: 7-10, missed playoffs)
“Chiefs over Cowboys plus 5,000. 50-1.”
The Cowboys were eliminated in the Wild Card round, losing 48-32 to Green Bay, so a Chiefs-Cowboys Super Bowl never happened; Kansas City instead beat San Francisco 25-22 (OT) in Super Bowl LVIII. (Cowboys lost Wild Card 32-48 to Packers; Super Bowl LVIII: Chiefs 25, 49ers 22 (OT))

“I'm going to go Butler finals MVP at plus 330.”
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) was unanimously named 2023 NBA Finals MVP, not Jimmy Butler. (Jokic: 30.2 ppg, 14.0 rpg, 7.2 apg in the Finals, unanimous MVP)
- Jimmy Butler 10+ assists
- Michael Porter Jr. under 15.5 points per game
“So we would have plus 150 on Jimmy to have a 10 plus assist game. Minus 115 on Michael Porter Jr. under 15.5 points per game. Butler finals MVP and the finals to end in six. Put all that together, that's 67 to 1. so a thousand bucks you would win 67,000 if we take out the finals to end in six it's 19 to one and that's actually the one i'm gonna roll with so so butler finals mvp porter jr under 15 and a half points per game jimmy 10 plus assists roll it in in one game or more roll it all together it's 19 to 1 we're gonna make that bet i accept that offer”
Leg 1 (Butler over 9.5 assists in a Finals game) never hit; his series high was 9 assists in Game 2 (ESPN box score). Leg 2 (MPJ under 15.5 PPG series average) won at 9.6 ppg, and leg 3 (Butler Finals MVP) lost to Jokic, so the parlay lost. (Butler assists by game: 7, 9, 4, 7, 5 (high 9, Game 2); MPJ 9.6 ppg series average)
“on the Heat to win the NBA championship in the year of our Lord 2023 at 13-1.”

The Denver Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0 in the 2023 Western Conference Finals; the Lakers did not reach, let alone win, the NBA Finals. (Nuggets def. Lakers 4-0 in West Finals)
“So the Chiefs, plus one and a half, is our final game wager of the year.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Chiefs beat Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII; Kansas City's +3 margin covers +1.5 (ESPN box score).
“We'll start off with your Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. First off, we've got over one and a half touchdown passes. That's at minus 210. Okay. Over 313 passing plus rushing yards at minus 115 as well. Or not as well. And then over 25.5 completions at minus 110. Okay. So this is two wrongs, one right. So I'm supposed to pick one of these that I like. The one that I like, listen, I do think he's going to have over 1.5 passing touchdowns. But minus 210 is a big number to lay. So, I think the right play here is the over 313.5 total yards. And the 25.5 completions probably goes hand in hand with that, but not necessarily. Not if he gets a few big chunk plays, which I think will be available against Philly. I do, again, I do like the over 1.5 passing touchdowns for him. But at minus 210, rather than over 313.5 total yards at minus 115, to me that's better.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Mahomes threw for 182 yards and rushed for 44 yards in Super Bowl LVII, 226 combined, under 313.5 (ESPN box score). (Patrick Mahomes: 182 passing yds, 44 rushing yds (226 combined))
“Now, his individual rushing and passing props are 288.5 passing yards and 20.5 rushing yards. I like the rushing yard side of that way more. I think that, listen, Mahomes is going to be running in this game. To me, there's no question about it. And I think the ankle will be healthy enough That over 20 rushing yards is potentially my favorite bet that I seen so far”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Mahomes rushed for 44 yards in Super Bowl LVII, over 20.5 (ESPN box score). (Patrick Mahomes: 44 rushing yds)
“Travis Kelsey, we got any time touchdown score for him at minus 130. Kadarius Toney at plus 240, and Juju Smith-Schuster at plus 240 as well. Okay, so Toney and Juju right now are can't bets, obviously. We need to wait and see what their health status is. Kelsey is a must bet. Travis Kelsey in the playoffs scores touchdowns. And especially with a banged up receiving core, to me, that one is an easy, obvious bet.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Travis Kelce caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes on Kansas City's opening drive of Super Bowl LVII, finishing with 6 catches for 81 yards and 1 TD. (Travis Kelce: 6 rec, 81 yds, 1 TD)
“I like Patrick Mahomes a ton as a rushing touchdown scorer. Like it a ton. He's, in the playoffs, he has, I think, six career rushing touchdowns. So do you think that he's, I mean, he's definitely probably plus money. How much money do you think he's? Oh, Mahomes? Or E? No, no, no, no. It won't be that much. I mean, I can just look real quick. My guess is he's around the same as the, as around the same as Kadarius Toney. But I'll just check real quick what Mahomes' anytime touchdown score is. While I look, go ahead and read me the next one. All right, so the next one we've got is Eagles' anytime touchdown score. So we've got Jalen Hurts at minus 110. Oh, real quick, by the way. Patrick Mahomes, oh, wow. Wow, you were right, Demonte. What is it? Plus 460. Okay. That's way too high. That's way too high. I like that bet a lot. I like that bet a lot.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Mahomes did not score a rushing touchdown in Super Bowl LVII; his three touchdowns all came through the air, to Kelce, Kadarius Toney, and Skyy Moore, while Isiah Pacheco scored Kansas City's rushing TD. (Mahomes: 0 rushing TD (3 passing TD))
“Eagles, anytime touchdown score, we got Jalen Hurts at minus 110, A.J. Brown at plus 110, and Dallas Goddard at plus 145. I like Jalen in this. Yeah. It takes one penalty in the end zone to put him at the one, and that QB sneak is unguardable. So I like Jalen as an anytime touchdown scorer, or Jalen just to be scrambling when they're in the red zone. Jalen, you know, I like Jalen.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Jalen Hurts rushed for a Super Bowl-record 3 touchdowns (15 carries, 70 yards) for the Eagles in a 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. (Jalen Hurts: 3 rushing TD, 70 rush yds)
“So we got A.J. Brown at over 71 and a half at minus 120, and Devontae Smith over 61 and a half at minus 130, and Travis Kelsey over 79 and a half at minus 115. I like Kelsey in this spot. Of course. I think Kelsey's going to have a huge game. I think this is a— He's lined up for it. They're going to have to target him. He has not had in these playoffs really a giant chunk play. now he's been incredibly productive but against the Jags for instance he had 14 catches for 98 yards that's 7 yards a catch so they have that many catches and not have 100 yards is crazy well they weren't all him remember because Henny came in but still so I think Kelsey to me this is a Travis Kelsey 9 catch 115 yard one touchdown type of game. I think Travis Kelsey has a monster game in the Super Bowl, so I would take his over there.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Travis Kelce caught 6 passes for 81 receiving yards in Super Bowl LVII, over 79.5 (ESPN box score). (Travis Kelce: 81 receiving yds)
“Miles Sanders over 59.5 at minus 125. Isaiah Pacheco over 49.5 at minus 115. And Jarek McKinnon over 21 at minus 115 That pretty nice Jarek McKinnon Well the thing is this They don run him a lot He the pass catcher Yeah I get that They don run him a ton But all it takes is two decent ones. I think Miles Sanders is the smarter bet here. Pacheco and McKinnon, I would be interested in their total yards props potentially. More than just rushing yards. but I don't know that this is going to be a big Pacheco game. I think this is so McKinnon receiving yards, McKinnon to score a touchdown I like. Miles, the thing is this. If the Eagles get down big, then they might have to abandon the run somewhat, and that would hurt Miles Sanders. But if we think this is going to be a close game, they're going to feed Miles Sanders a lot, try to have long possessions. I like the Miles Sanders over there.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — Miles Sanders rushed for 16 yards on 7 carries in Super Bowl LVII, under 59.5 (ESPN box score). (Miles Sanders: 16 rushing yds)
- Kansas City Chiefs closed -105 · CLV +210¢ won
- Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl MVP won
- Travis Kelce over 79.5 receiving yards won
- Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer won
- Patrick Mahomes over 20.5 rushing yards won
“So Mahomes Super Bowl MVP at plus 125. Chiefs Moneyline at plus 105. Kelsey over 79.5 at minus 115. That's receiving yards, obviously. Kelsey touchdown, minus 130. And Mahomes overpassing yards, 288.5 at minus 115. All this combined for plus 2,752. So 28 to 1 almost. I'm going to tweak it slightly. and it won't change the numbers on it significantly. We're going to remove the Mahomes over passing yards and replace it with Mahomes over rushing yards. So Chiefs to win, Mahomes to win MVP, Kelsey to have over 80 yards, Kelsey to score a touchdown, and Mahomes to rush for over 20.5. that will actually probably slightly improve the odds because the Mahomes passing and the Kelsey receiving are so correlated that you're not going to – so my guess is that puts that at about 30-1. What is it? Right at 28. Right at 28. Okay, so it doesn't improve them all that much, but it's at 28-1. Okay, that's the – that's what I'm doing. I'll make that bet. I'll take that offer to end the year with me finally taking the offer.”
KC 38, PHI 35 — All five legs hit in Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 (moneyline win), Mahomes won Super Bowl MVP, Kelce had 81 receiving yards (over 79.5) and caught a touchdown, and Mahomes rushed for 44 yards (over 20.5).

Kyle Shanahan versus Nathaniel Hackett. It is truly one of the best coaches, smartest coaches in football against one of the most overmatched doofuses I've ever seen coach in an NFL game. I'm laying less than a field goal. San Francisco minus a point and a half is the right move.”
DEN 11, SF 10 — Broncos beat the 49ers 11-10 in Week 3; 49ers lost by 1, missing the -1.5 spread (ESPN box score).
- Philadelphia Eagles -0.5 closed -6 · CLV +5.5 won
- Kansas City Chiefs +0.5 closed -4.5 · CLV +5 lost
- Houston Texans +8.5 closed +3 · CLV +5.5 won
“We have Philly minus six and a half. We are teasing it down to Philly minus half point. Philly just to win. Okay? Philly just to win. and we are teasing it with the Chiefs from minus five and a half to plus a half point. Again, we're giving up one point of value there because plus half points base the same thing as minus half point. It's going to end on a tie. A two team six point teaser. I kind of want to include Houston. In fact, we are including Houston. We're getting aggressive. We're going with a three team teaser. The Chiefs from five and a half down to plus a half point. Philly from six and a half to minus half point. And Houston from plus two and a half to plus eight and a half. So a three-team teaser, just so you know how the math works on it, a three-team six-point teaser will pay out plus 140. So $100 to win $140, so on and so forth. That's our first teaser of the year.”
PHI 24, WSH 8; IND 20, KC 17; CHI 23, HOU 20 — In the three-team teaser, Eagles beat Commanders 24-8 (covers -0.5) and Texans lost to Bears by only 3 (covers +8.5), but the Colts beat the Chiefs 20-17 outright (Chiefs miss +0.5), so the teaser fails on the Chiefs leg (ESPN box scores).
“So here are our five picks. We've told you the five games. Let's start with the first one. Demonse what the first game And I give you my analysis These are the five picks we are making We are betting We are two and three on the year We are one and O in the locks We are undefeated still in survivor What is our first what's the first game? Minnesota is two point underdogs in Philadelphia. Love, love Minnesota plus two. So here's the rationale.”
PHI 24, MIN 7 — Eagles beat the Vikings 24-7 in Week 2; Vikings lost by 17, missing the +2 spread (ESPN box score).
“Arizona is five and a half point road dogs and against Las Vegas or in Las Vegas. Yeah. Uh, Arizona plus points. This to me is a no brainer. I'd love, I'd like it at six. if you're going to bet this wait because if the line moves against you and it goes down to five that doesn't cost you anything there's been five and five and a half it's almost negligible there's been five and a half and six matters so wait and see if it moves up to six and then make the bet but at five even at five and a half I like a lot so why”
ARI 29, LV 23 — Cardinals beat the Raiders 29-23 in overtime in Week 2, covering the +5.5 spread with a 6-point margin (ESPN box score).
“Cincinnati is favored by 7 In Dallas Yeah listen Road underdogs You always gotta be careful Or road favorites You always gotta be careful But I don't know why this line isn't 10 and a half. It's Cincinnati's the play. Dallas right now is the worst offense in football. Cincinnati scored 20 points in regulation in a game where they turned the ball over five times. I understand they didn't deal well with T.J. Watt, and so you might be like, they're not going to deal well with Micah Parsons. Maybe, or maybe they will simply double-team Micah Parsons every play of the game and say, Dallas can't beat us otherwise. I actually want to put money in on this bet. I like this bet a lot. Cincinnati minus seven.”
DAL 20, CIN 17 — Cowboys beat the Bengals 20-17 on a last-second field goal in Week 2; Bengals lost by 3, missing the -7 spread (ESPN box score).
“All right. Green Bay is favored by 10 at home against Chicago. Okay. This is, this is the week that Rogers reminds everybody when things are going well, he looks as good as any player in league history. So you think last week was a fluke? I don't think it was a fluke. I think there were some issues last week that show you why, when things get a little harried in the playoffs, Rodgers hasn't come through. I think the way he abandoned the rookie wide receiver, I think there were some parts of that game that are concerning long-term for the Packers, but not this week, pardon me, against the Bears. Justin Fields completed eight passes. I know it was in a monsoon. Green Bay blows out Chicago. that's what they do Chicago goes to Green Bay and they get their asses kicked and I think Rogers coming off an awful game is going to try to run it up probably sent his receivers to training camp over the weekend yeah I mean this feels this honestly feels like 31 to 7 31 to 10 28 to 13 maybe like Green Bay. Laying 10 points is usually not the sharp side, but Green Bay, Chicago goes to Green Bay and Chicago leaves getting blown out.”
GB 27, CHI 10 — Packers beat the Bears 27-10 in Week 2, covering the -10 spread by a 17-point margin (ESPN box score).
“Oh, we got Baltimore is favored by three and a half at home against Miami. This is an insane line. Utterly insane. They three and a half point When I first saw this line I thought Baltimore was on the road I was like okay that makes sense Baltimore being just a three and a half point I understand Ronnie Stanley's dinged up. The offensive line's dinged up. I get it, but Vegas or the general public has not caught up to how good Baltimore is. They, or they're way overvaluing Miami. I'm sorry. We're hyping up the Patriots a little bit too much, but I don't think anybody's hyping up. No, They're way over. Yeah, right. They're overvaluing Miami's win against the Patriots, which, by the way, was not overly impressive. They I mean, they win by two scores. One of the scores on a fumble six. The strip sack touchdown. Baltimore is a great team, particularly in the regular season. Baltimore should be at least six point favorites at home against everyone in football, but like five teams to only be three and a half point favorites. I'm going to keep riding Baltimore until the market catches up to how good they are. So Baltimore minus three and a half. I would, I would include this at Baltimore minus six and a half. I love the Ravens this week.”
MIA 42, BAL 38 — Dolphins beat the Ravens 42-38 in a Week 2 comeback; Ravens lost by 4, missing the -3.5 spread (ESPN box score).
“The Rams plus two and a half is the pick.”
BUF 31, LAR 10 — Bills beat the Rams 31-10 in Week 1; Rams lost outright, missing the +2.5 spread (ESPN box score).

WSH 28, JAX 22 — Commanders beat the Jaguars 28-22 in Week 1; Jaguars lost by 6, missing the +2.5 spread (ESPN box score).
“Carolina minus one-and-a-half is the play. Motivated Baker Mayfield. a healthy, for the time being, Christian McCaffrey.”
CLE 26, CAR 24 — Browns beat the Panthers 26-24 in Week 1 on a last-second field goal; Panthers lost outright, missing the -1.5 spread (ESPN box score).
“Baltimore minus seven against the Jets is the bet,”

“Miami minus three and a half at home against New England is the pick.”
MIA 20, NE 7 — Dolphins beat the Patriots 20-7 in Week 1, covering the -3.5 spread by a 13-point margin (ESPN box score).
“Here are the, there are seven of these that I'm actually betting. Okay. If it's on a hundred dollars scale, These seven bets would cost you $1,015 for a maximum return of $1,830, which would be a profit of $815. Pardon me. We will go one by one. Indy is at nine and a half. I am strongly on the over. Now, a lot of America seems to be because it's minus 160. You typically would not want to lay that type of juice on a season win total, but I don't see any scenario the Colts don't win at least 10 games. I love that over.”
Colts finished the 2022 regular season 4-12-1, well under the 9.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Colts 4-12-1)
“The next one, another team in that division that I like going over, the Jacksonville Jaguars. So over six and a half, you get plus money, plus 115. I think Trevor Lawrence is going to be a top five quarterback in the league at some point. Doug Peterson is not a perfect head coach, but he did win a Super Bowl with Nick Foles. He did get a near MVP season out of Carson Wentz, and he worked with Andy Reid. He is clearly good with offenses.”
Jaguars finished the 2022 regular season 9-8 and won the AFC South, over the 6.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Jaguars 9-8, AFC South champions)
“I believe in Trevor Lawrence. I'm a strong over on them. Kansas City's 10 and a half. It's minus 115. They've won 12 games or more every year Mahomes has been the quarterback. The idea that the Chiefs are going to be 10 and 7 is ludicrous to me. Last year was supposed to be the year from hell. They went 12 and 5. I don't need to even explain this. Go ahead. You want to jump in? No I was only going to pick at you for a second Go ahead pick at me Got the fourth best quarterback or third best quarterback in the league right now Oh yeah the eighth best player third best quarterback in the NFL Top 100 That's correct. That's wise to go against that. I like the addition of Juju. I like the draft pick Sky Moore. I like the defensive additions they made. I didn't know they added Juju. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. Demasi's been locked into the NBA, man. Yeah. That's insane. and added juju uh see this is why there was at one point sorry i'm gonna pull the curtain back a bit when we were discussing how we're gonna do the nfl gambling show the producers were like why don't maybe you can do picks and demanze can do picks and i said to him i said here's the deal demanze is not as locked into the nfl as he was the nba he will be by the end of the year yeah but you're gonna definitely probably watch more nfl than i've ever watched in my life there's no question about it, which by the way, it is no judgment here. It literally hasn't been your job until right now. And you didn't play football growing up. You didn't love it the way I did, even though I didn't play it either, but I loved it growing up. So no judgment there, but this is the, you know, Demond's a having the light bulb moment. The chief's got Juju Smith-Schuster as we're 10 days before the season starts is why we're not going to grace you with his football picks, just mine. And he's going to chime in. But I listen, I like their additions on defense. Wake me up when the Chiefs don't win 12 games. So I'm going to take the over.”
Chiefs finished the 2022 regular season 14-3, well over the 10.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Chiefs 14-3)
“New England. So that's three overs I've done. New England's at eight and a half. I am strongly on the under. They have the most expensive wide receiver core in the NFL and they don't have a number one. They have the second most expensive tight end group in the NFL and they don't have a number one. They are spending $72 million against the cap on those two positions. The league average is $36 million. No other team is spending more than 60. Only one other team is spending more than 50. They're at 72 million. They're at 72 million without great players at it. They lost their best defensive player. They lost their entire offensive coaching staff. Mac Jones is out here in preseason getting frustrated. New England is a seven-win team at best. Their total is eight and a half. I love the under on the Patriots.”
Patriots finished the 2022 regular season 8-9, under the 8.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Patriots 8-9)
“Baltimore, they were at 10 and a half at even money. That's where I bet it. Full disclosure. They now at nine and a half at minus money on the over I over on Baltimore by the way That where I bet it So if I liked them over 10 and a half I love them over nine and a half even if you got to pay that juice I think Baltimore and Indy are the two teams that I think are most likely to be the number one seed in the NFC this year. Doesn't mean they're the two teams I like the most to win the Super Bowl or to get to the Super Bowl, but as far as strong regular season, Baltimore dealt with devastating injuries all year. The question with Baltimore is, and maybe by the time you guys hear this, he will have is Lamar really going to play out this year without his contract. I mean, he still hasn't signed a new deal, so I don't know how that will affect him. I don't think it'll affect him. Baltimore's eight and three last year, despite all the injuries before Lamar got dinged. I love Baltimore winning at least 11 games this year. I love it. Did you want to chime in? It”
Ravens finished the 2022 regular season 10-7, under the 10.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Ravens 10-7)
“The Giants. I bet them under 7 and a half, and I paid heavy juice at minus 145. The line is now moved to 6 and a half if you want to bet the under and you get plus money on it. Either way, I like it. I don't know if I – disclosure, full disclosure. I don't know if I would have betted it at 6 and a half. but I hammered it at seven and a half.”
Giants finished the 2022 regular season 9-7-1, over the 7.5 win total, so the under fails (ESPN standings). (Giants 9-7-1)
“And now my final, this is another one where I paid minus 145. My final season win total, the Niners. The Niners over nine and a half. Trey Lance is going to have some growing things. By the end of the year, he will be better than Jimmy Garoppolo was. So can they survive the beginning of the year with him? My answer to that is unequivocally yes, because they have an excellent defense.”
49ers finished the 2022 regular season 13-4, over the 9.5 win total (ESPN standings). (49ers 13-4)
“and that is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be under 11 and a half wins First of all that is a crazy high total 11 and a half is the highest total on the board No team is at 12 or 13 You do have to pay a decent juice of minus 145 but”
Buccaneers finished the 2022 regular season 8-9, under the 11.5 win total (ESPN standings). (Buccaneers 8-9)
“We did our season win totals. Now to Monze, we're going to make miss playoff bets. And some of these are going to be correlated with the win totals, most notably the first one I'm going to get to. I took under on the Patriots. I'm going to bet them to miss the playoffs. But the rest of them, this is how I kind of like to try to diversify my preseason gambling. Because if you take over on the Chiefs and them to make the playoffs, all those things, then you are one injury or one bad pick away from having, you know, a kind of a domino effect on your bets. But where I'm not worried about that is the New England Patriots. The Patriots to miss the playoffs when I bet it, it was minus one 98. And to me, why would I lay two to one, you know, against me on a bet like this? Because I see no scenario that exists in the world where New England makes the playoffs.”
Patriots finished 8-9 and missed the 2022-23 NFL playoffs (ESPN standings). (Patriots 8-9, missed playoffs)
“Denver missing the playoffs. I got it at plus 120. This is about. That's insane. What's insane? Did you get Denver missing the playoffs at plus 120? Yeah. They're favored to make the playoffs. So I got them a plus money to miss the playoffs.”
Broncos finished 5-12 and missed the 2022-23 NFL playoffs (ESPN standings). (Broncos 5-12, missed playoffs)
“Denver plus 120 is where I got it. Cleveland missing the playoffs. It was on the board. It's now off the board. I got it at minus 170. That's a no-brainer as well. You're going to start in Jacoby Brissett for 11 games. Then when Deshaun comes back... will have not played in nearly two years. To me, that's an easy one. I love Cleveland to miss the playoffs.”
Browns finished 7-10 and missed the 2022-23 NFL playoffs (ESPN standings). (Browns 7-10, missed playoffs)
- Seattle Seahawks to miss playoffs
- New York Jets to miss playoffs
- Atlanta Falcons to miss playoffs
- New England Patriots to miss playoffs
“Now to some exotics. So Seattle, the Jets, and Atlanta. Is there any scenario any of those three make the playoffs? I say no. Seattle is starting Geno Smith and in a brutal division. The Jets are starting Joe Flacco until Zach Wilson gets back. And Atlanta is in a full-on rebuild teardown with all the dead money from Julio and Matt Ryan to try to get this thing started up next year. They're either going to start Desmond Ritter, the rookie at some point, or Marcus Mariota. Those three teams are essentially locks to miss the playoffs. You add New England to that bet. This is where I'm being a little risky because I have the Patriots under. I have the Patriots to miss the playoffs, and I have the Patriots in this parlay. So if the Patriots have a great year, it screws three of my bets, but I will fade the Patriots happily. So Seattle, the Jets in Atlanta, and New England to miss the playoffs comes in at almost exactly even money, minus 105.”
Seahawks went 9-8 and made the 2022 NFC playoffs as the No. 7 seed, so the 'Seattle + Jets + Falcons + Patriots all miss playoffs' parlay fails even though the Jets (7-10), Falcons (7-10) and Patriots (8-9) did miss (ESPN standings). (SEA 9-8 (made playoffs); NYJ 7-10, ATL 7-10, NE 8-9 (missed))
- Kansas City Chiefs to make playoffs
- Baltimore Ravens to make playoffs
- Indianapolis Colts to make playoffs
- San Francisco 49ers to make playoffs
“So I gave you all these teams I think is going to miss. This is a four-team make-playoff parlay. Kansas City makes it every year. Of course, they're going to make it. They have Patrick Mahomes. Baltimore. They missed it last year thanks to all the injuries, but I think they're going to be fine. Indy. You know how I am on Indy. And the Niners. Casey, Baltimore, Indy, and the Niners. 441. At plus 441.”
Chiefs (14-3), Ravens (10-7) and 49ers (13-4) all made the 2022 playoffs, but the Colts finished 4-12-1 and missed the postseason, so the 'all four make playoffs' parlay fails (ESPN standings). (KC 14-3, BAL 10-7, SF 13-4 (made playoffs); IND 4-12-1 (missed))
- Buffalo Bills to win AFC East
- Kansas City Chiefs to win AFC West
- Indianapolis Colts to win AFC South
“Buffalo is winning the AFCs. Even if Miami has an awesome year There's no way they're having a better record than Buffalo Buffalo is winning the AFC I'm on KC to win the AFC West I'm on Indy to win the AFC South Those three Division winners put together Is plus 558”
Bills (13-3) won the AFC East and the Chiefs (14-3) won the AFC West in 2022, but the Jaguars (9-8), not the Colts (4-12-1), won the AFC South, so the parlay fails (ESPN standings). (BUF won AFC East, KC won AFC West, JAX (9-8, not IND) won AFC South)
“out But so I should be saving the Super Bowl pick for the TV show But you made it 35 minutes into our final podcast of the week It our gambling show My Super Bowl pick is Chiefs Niners If you bet the Chiefs to win the AFC and the Niners to win the NFC it's a rematch, by the way, Super Bowl from a few years ago. That is plus 5,000, 50 to one. So the Chiefs win the AFC and the Niners win the NFC. So there it is. So if we are to look at”
SB LVII: Chiefs 38, Eagles 35; NFC Championship: Eagles 31, 49ers 7 — The Chiefs reached and won Super Bowl LVII 38-35 over Philadelphia, but the 49ers lost the NFC Championship Game 31-7 to the Eagles, so the exact Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl matchup never happened.
“all right what's let's move on uh you tweeted that the Patriots offense will be a train wreck this season uh Mack Jones has really struggled reports also from practice that the offense looks totally out of whack yeah are you willing to put your money where your mouth is and bet New England under eight and a half yeah of course okay yeah of course I mean they no no faith in old Belichick oh no not this year The Patriots this is a shocking fact They have the most expensive tight ends in football”
The New England Patriots finished the 2022 regular season 8-9, under the 8.5 win total (ESPN final standings). (Patriots finished 8-9 (2022 regular season))
“year though, a little preview. If you are curious what I am on headed into the season, as far as season-long win totals where I'm at. I really like the Jags over six and a half wins at plus money. I believe in Trevor Lawrence. I think Trevor, I think quarterbacks of that caliber plus the Doug Peterson addition in that division. Can the Jacksonville Jaguars win seven games? And the answer is unequivocally yes. And you're getting plus money on that. And you might say, Jacksonville was so bad last year. It's true. But Jacksonville on the schedule this year has Washington, has two games against Houston. They also have, they have six, they have Detroit, they have the Jets and the Giants So that six games against some of the worst teams in football If they can just go call it four and two in those six games can they find three wins in the rest of their schedule? Absolutely. In fact, I think the Jags could go nine and eight if everything falls right. So the Jags are one team that I'm very high on the season long over.”
The Jacksonville Jaguars finished the 2022 regular season 9-8 and won the AFC South, clearing the 6.5 win total (ESPN final standings). (Jaguars finished 9-8 (2022 regular season, 1st in AFC South))
“as far as a season long under that I like a lot, I don't see how Denver gets to 11 wins. And right now their win total is sitting at 10. A 10 and seven would be a push for the Broncos, just to do this quickly. The Broncos, how many wins do the Broncos need to have banked to get to 11 wins when you consider here is their final six games of the year at Baltimore, home for the Chiefs, home for the Cardinals, at the Rams, at the Chiefs, home for the Chargers. So that is six games. You have two against the Chiefs, one against the defending champion Rams, one against uh one in baltimore well arizona is the only easy game and they were a playoff team last year and then home for the chargers to end the year so even if they are eight and three through 11 weeks are they a lock to get to 11 wins absolutely not are they a lot like if they're nine and two. They, are they a lot to get to 11 wins? No, they're likely, but they could nine and two. I'm sorry. They're nine and two and they would go two and four on the stretch. Sure. So there, so I guess point is this Denver under 10. I like a lot. Jacksonville over six and a half.”
The Denver Broncos finished the 2022 regular season 5-12, well under the 10-win total (ESPN final standings). (Broncos finished 5-12 (2022 regular season))
- Cincinnati Bengals pick'em vs Pittsburgh Steelers closed +7 · CLV -7 lost
- Denver Broncos pick'em at Seattle Seahawks closed -6.5 · CLV +6.5 lost
“a little if you can still get down on it. I think my favorite bet of week one is a two team six point teaser where you're going to tease the the Bengals to a pick them at home against the Steelers and whatever do. they trot out at quarterback and the Broncos to a pick them at Seattle where they're going to annihilate the Seattle Seahawks. There's just no chance Russell Wilson and my big Russell Wilson guy, but there's no chance they lose to that Seahawks team that's starting either Drew Locke or Geno Smith. So a nice little early preseason two team teaser, start your season off right.”
PIT 23-20 CIN; SEA 17-16 DEN — Both teaser legs missed: the Steelers beat the Bengals 23-20 in Week 1 (Bengals pick'em leg lost), and the Seahawks beat the Broncos 17-16 on Monday Night Football (Broncos pick'em leg lost) — teaser busts (ESPN box scores).
“I am unfortunately picking the Warriors in these finals.”
GSW 103, BOS 90 — The Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 103-90 in Game 6 on June 16, 2022 to win the series 4-2 and clinch the 2022 NBA Finals (ESPN box score).
“All right, Danielle, what's next? Your two faves are in the finals, the Warriors and the Celtics. I can't believe this is my life. It's a Warriors-Celtics finals. Who do I have in the finals? Yeah. I don't know who's going to win. I can tell you who's going to lose, Danielle. Who? me yeah no matter what no matter who wins i am so pardon me here yeah it's it you know why you're why because your mouth what do you mean you just talk too much too fast oh it's literally my job yeah yeah well you know okay well here's the problem if the celtics win i have takes from the past that are not going to have aged well, ladies and gentlemen. I called Jalen Brown a homeless man's Kawhi Leonard. I called Jason Tatum the fourth best guy in his own draft class. I mocked Danny Ainge forever. So if the Celtics win, I look like an idiot. If the Warriors win, I guaranteed Steph would never make another finals after they traded for Wiggins. I called Wiggins a bad player. I have no. Your mouth. I'm boxed in. Talk too much. I am boxed in here. I don't know what I'm. I think the Warriors are going to win. My pick is the Warriors.”

- Dallas Mavericks +5 or +5.5 lost
- Steph Curry Under 27.5 Points won
“my FanDuel bet today was Dallas plus five or five and a half and Steph Curry under 27 and a half”
GSW 112-87 DAL — Warriors beat Mavericks 112-87 in WCF Game 1 (May 18, 2022); Dallas lost by 25 so the +5/+5.5 spread leg lost, while Steph Curry's 21 points beat the under 27.5 leg, but the parlay needs both legs to win, so it lost. (Curry 21 pts)
“Oh, to me, this is very easy. In fact, I'm looking for it right now, the exact number. But I am hammering the under for Broncos total wins. The Broncos total wins, there we go, win totals. Of course you're betting under that. What? What do you mean, of course? I mean, you're just an all-time Russell Wilson hater. You guys listen to me. Oh, look at that. That said future or week one. Much like future, I'm going under on Russell Wilson this year. Uh-oh, how about that? Wow. It's at 10 and a half. They are not winning 11 games. I don't think they're winning 10 games. So I'm not doing week one yet, but my favorite preseason bet without a question is under 10.5 wins for the Broncos. That's my absolute favorite bet.”
The Denver Broncos finished the 2022 regular season 5-12, well under the 10.5 win total (ESPN schedule/results). (Broncos finished 5-12)
