Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football action and much more. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 16 Sunday action, beginning with Sunday Night Football, where the Patriots erased a double-digit deficit to defeat the Ravens 28-24. Lamar Jackson exited at halftime with a back injury, forcing Tyler Huntley into action, while Derrick Henry dominated early but surprisingly stopped receiving touches late. A missed pass interference call on New England did not derail Drake May, who threw for over 380 yards, including a highlight touchdown to Kyle Williams, as the Patriots scored 15 unanswered points capped by a Rhamondre Stevenson rushing score and a game-sealing Zay Flowers fumble. The loss likely ends Baltimore’s playoff hopes and sparks discussion about John Harbaugh’s future, Lamar Jackson’s durability, and the Steelers’ path to clinching the division, with praise given to Mike Tomlin’s sustained success. The conversation then shifts to awards, with Matthew Stafford emerging as the MVP favorite over Drake May and Mike Vrabel leading the Coach of the Year market. Circa Survivor updates follow before a deep dive into Week 17 market movers, including massive downgrades to the Chiefs without Mahomes, Dallas favored over Washington, Lions and Vikings line movement, Bengals upgrades after an offensive surge, Chargers moving to a pick’em versus the Texans, Raiders versus Giants shaping up as a potential tank bowl, and the growing impact of injuries and motivation late in the season. Eagles versus Bills is debated, with Buffalo trusted more long term than Philadelphia. Attention turns to Monday Night Football, where both hosts like the 49ers on the road against the Colts and lean under the total due to Indianapolis’ limited offense with Philip Rivers and a slower game script. Jonathan Taylor usage and George Kittle props are discussed, with Kittle’s receiving yards favored due to matchup trends. The show closes with promotions for Pregame bulk dollars, the free College Football Bowl Bash contest, and a preview of upcoming NBA Christmas coverage, emphasizing scheduling value, betting opportunities, and appreciation for listeners during the holiday season.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball betting for this weekend. Best bets as always. The episode of the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast features Griffin Warner and Big East Ben breaking down major weekend matchups and betting angles as college basketball takes center stage. They open with discussion on roster volatility and midseason transfers before diving into Duke versus Texas Tech, where both believe the line is inflated and back Texas Tech as large underdogs due to Duke’s thin depth and market overvaluation. In St John’s versus Kentucky, Ben plays the under based on contrasting styles and Kentucky’s ball security while Griffin backs St John’s to cover, citing skepticism of Mark Pope’s coaching and Kentucky’s defense. For North Carolina versus Ohio State, Ben backs UNC behind talent edges while Griffin takes the points with Ohio State, continuing his distrust of Hubert Davis. In Arkansas versus Houston at the Prudential Center, Ben recommends the under, noting Houston’s elite defense, slower tempo, and Arkansas’s reliance on young guards, while Griffin takes Arkansas plus the points, believing Houston no longer fits its traditional veteran bruiser identity and Arkansas is undervalued. The show closes with best bets including Ben’s low major over play on Denver versus Northern Colorado due to Denver’s extreme defensive inefficiency and perfect over record, while Griffin reiterates his St John’s position. The episode blends betting analysis, humor, and personal anecdotes while emphasizing contrarian positions against public perception and early season narratives. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL survivor for week 16 Mac and Dan recap Week 16 of Survive NFL, back in the win column with the 49ers after falling short in the survivor contest earlier in the season. They open by reacting to the Seahawks Rams Thursday night thriller, agreeing the ending was chaotic and featured another questionable officiating decision. Dan criticizes Sean McVay for taking his foot off the gas late and reiterates his lack of trust in Sam Darnold, while both agree the Rams looked like the better team despite the loss. Mac remains unconvinced Seattle can win multiple playoff games and notes the Rams still appear to be the team to beat in the NFC despite longer odds. The discussion shifts to survivor strategy, starting with Texans minus fourteen over the Raiders. Both agree the Raiders are noncompetitive and that Houston is a strong survivor option, though Mac questions their margin potential. They move to Bills minus ten and a half at Cleveland, with Dan noting Buffalo’s tendency to start slow before dominating second halves and expecting a run heavy game against a depleted Browns roster. Mac suggests Cleveland may not be incentivized to win and outlines a potential same game parlay involving a Bills win and a Browns rushing over. They review other large favorites including Lions over Steelers and Eagles over Commanders, with Dan favoring Detroit’s offensive upside and expressing cautious optimism about Philadelphia if Hurts continues to move better. Attention then turns to Saints minus six over the Jets as a viable survivor pick given limited options. Both agree the pick hinges entirely on the Jets quarterback situation, favoring New Orleans if Brady Cook starts but backing off completely if Tyrod Taylor plays. As a contingency, they agree the Vikings would become the survivor pick if Taylor is confirmed in. The conversation closes with an in depth breakdown of 49ers at Colts on Monday night. Dan leans San Francisco, citing matchup advantages for Kyle Shanahan against the Colts secondary and skepticism about a forty four year old Philip Rivers keeping pace, while Mac outlines the narrow path for an Indianapolis upset through slow pace and limited possessions. They conclude with Saints as the tentative survivor pick pending quarterback news and plan to adjust if necessary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for Week 16. The guys also preview TNF football as well. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down Week 16 fantasy football with a focus on playoff decisions injuries and the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Rams and Seahawks. They begin by recapping fantasy playoff heartbreak and standout Week 15 performances before shifting to betting and fantasy implications for Thursday night. Both agree the game profiles as a defensive matchup with value on the under and slight preference for the Rams as underdogs citing turnover margin quarterback efficiency and Seattle’s home field advantage. Player props discussed include Matthew Stafford under passing attempts Kyren Williams and Blake Corum rushing volume and Jackson Smith Njigba longest reception over. On the fantasy side Devante Adams injury forces managers to consider replacements with Kobe Parkinson highlighted as a strong tight end pickup due to red zone usage recent production and broad availability. The hosts strongly favor Blake Corum over Zach Charbonnet pointing to efficiency snap trends and touchdown consistency. Quarterback streaming options are reviewed including Kirk Cousins CJ Stroud and JJ McCarthy with Cousins again endorsed based on matchup value. Several difficult start sit decisions are debated including benching Justin Jefferson due to prolonged underperformance choosing Darren Waller over Dalton Schultz because of matchup trends and new quarterback dynamics and trusting volume backs like Trayveon Henderson over volatile receivers such as Jaylen Waddle. Rod cautions against chasing Kyle Pitts massive Week 15 performance while Munaf argues Pitts has reemerged with Kirk Cousins under center though both agree Drake London’s status could affect usage. Wide receiver decisions include Keenan Allen versus Packers options with Allen preferred due to matchup clarity and target stability. The episode closes with college bowl contest promotions at Pregame encouragement for eliminated fantasy players to pivot to bowl betting and a reminder that playoff success often comes from trusting usage trends over name value.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action from this past weekend. The guys also preview MNF. Welcome to the SOV AM Weekend Rewind as Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 15 action, breaking down Sunday Night Football where the Vikings upset the Cowboys 34 to 26 in Dallas as J J McCarthy delivered one of his best performances while the Cowboys defense continued to struggle, effectively ending their playoff hopes. The discussion turned to whether McCarthy is turning a corner or simply benefiting from weak defenses, with optimism building around his development and chemistry with Justin Jefferson. Circa Survivor saw no eliminations as all ten remaining entries advanced. Major injury news dominated the week as Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL, ending Kansas City’s season and signaling a massive downgrade at quarterback with Gardner Minshew stepping in, while raising questions about Travis Kelce’s future and the end of the Chiefs’ dynasty. Another devastating injury hit as Micah Parsons tore his ACL, costing Green Bay its defensive anchor and resulting in a meaningful point spread downgrade. The Broncos continued their surge behind Bo Nix, forcing a reevaluation of his legitimacy after a statement win and positioning Denver as a real AFC contender. Additional downgrades included Cincinnati after a shutout loss where Joe Burrow struggled and frustrations mounted, likely spelling the end of Zach Taylor’s tenure. On the upgrade side the Saints gained momentum in the NFC South, Baltimore impressed with dominant defense and rushing efficiency, and the Eagles made a statement with a 31 nothing blowout. Monday Night Football featured Miami at Pittsburgh with both hosts favoring the Steelers given historical trends cold weather and Miami’s offensive limitations despite Devon Achane’s return, leading to best bets backing Pittsburgh. The episode wrapped with NBA discussion highlighting Rockets Nuggets analysis driven by Aaron Gordon’s defensive impact and a preview of the NBA Cup final between the Knicks and Spurs, before closing with promotions and outlooks as the sports calendar heads toward the postseason.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting. Munaf Manji hosts an episode of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview NBA podcast with analyst Mackenzie Rivers, covering NBA Cup semifinals betting angles, current injury news, and market reactions. They open with light banter before discussing major injuries including Franz Wagner’s ankle injury for Orlando and Zach Edey’s setback for Memphis, and how those absences affect team power ratings and futures. Rivers analyzes Memphis as a soft reset team while emphasizing Wagner’s advanced metrics value to Orlando and questioning Paolo Banchero’s optimal role as a primary scorer versus a complementary star. The conversation compares Orlando’s roster construction to Oklahoma City’s system driven success and stresses that teams rarely improve via talent subtraction alone. They pivot to league wide observations, fading the Lakers as overhyped due to schedule and defense, noting Washington’s tank trajectory, and highlighting Minnesota’s need for an additional ball handling guard such as Coby White. Betting discussion begins with Timberwolves versus Warriors, where Rivers leans Minnesota if Anthony Edwards plays and supports the under due to Golden State’s slow pace and Curry returning from injury. For the NBA Cup East semifinal, both favor the Knicks over the Magic and the under, citing New York’s defense, Brunson’s form, and Orlando missing Wagner. In the West semifinal, Rivers makes Oklahoma City his best bet laying the points against San Antonio, arguing the Thunder’s historic net rating, system depth, and defensive consistency outweigh Victor Wembanyama’s return. They close by discussing Thunder futures including win totals and streak markets, NBA Cup MVP value on Brunson if backing New York, promo details for Pregame, and final best bets of Knicks minus the points and Thunder laying the number.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL survivor for Week 15. The conversation opens with Mackenzie and Dan reviewing their NFL survivor failures, noting the Buccaneers’ back-to-back losses and frustration over missing the Dolphins as the optimal play the prior week. They discuss Thursday Night Football, highlighting Atlanta and Tampa Bay trading mistakes, poor defense under Todd Bowles, and uncertainty about his future despite repeated NFC South titles. Turning to Week 15, they analyze Seattle vs. Indianapolis, debating whether Riley Leonard or an aging Philip Rivers will start, concluding Leonard is more likely while acknowledging Rivers may appear the following week. They consider whether the Colts have quit, ultimately believing the team remains energized but unlikely to make the playoffs given a brutal remaining schedule. Discussion shifts to organizational futures, with Dan criticizing GM Chris Ballard’s drafting, doubting Anthony Richardson, and predicting ownership will run it back due to lack of QB alternatives and sunk costs from the Sauce Gardner trade. They move to San Francisco vs. Tennessee, with both strongly favoring the 49ers due to matchup advantages and the Titans’ limited offensive upside, identifying the Niners as their would-be Week 15 survivor selection. They evaluate Jaguars-Jets, citing the Jets’ collapse, third-string QB issues, and Jacksonville’s need to maintain division position, making the Jaguars a viable survivor choice. They consider larger favorites such as Philadelphia, Houston, and Chicago while expressing concern about weather, QB instability, and inflated lines. They also touch on the Chiefs and Cowboys as sharp alternatives depending on injuries and usage. Dan proposes the Giants as a deep contrarian survivor option due to Washington’s historically bad defense and team morale issues. They close by noting the volatility of late-season survivor pools and emphasizing the advantage of identifying fading candidates such as the Commanders or Jets while expressing confidence in the 49ers as the strongest theoretical Week 15 play.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football playoffs. The hosts open by welcoming listeners to a fantasy-football playoff edition of the show and discussing their own playoff runs, then recap the previous week’s high-scoring Thursday night game before previewing the upcoming Falcons-Buccaneers matchup. They note both teams are struggling, with Tampa Bay dealing with injuries to key receivers and Atlanta reeling despite switching to Kirk Cousins. They expect a lower-scoring divisional game and debate the spread and total, leaning slightly toward the Buccaneers and a modest over. They highlight key injuries, including Drake London being ruled out and uncertainty around Kyle Pitts, which could force heavier use of Bijan Robinson, though his rushing output is likely capped by Tampa Bay’s strong run defense. They move into player props, backing Pitts’ receiving yards based on past performance against Tampa Bay and projecting Bijan to hit receiving overs while struggling on the ground. They discuss touchdown props, including Tyler Allgeier's goal-line role and Buccaneers options such as Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker. Shifting to fantasy decisions, they debate the risks of starting a limited Mike Evans and agree that if he is active he must be used, while Cousins is framed as a desperation superflex play with limited upside. They explore deeper plays like Darnell Mooney due to Atlanta’s depleted receiving corps and mention fringe tight end options like Payne Durham if Cade Otton sits. They transition into Week 15 flex questions, comparing several player pairs: they narrowly prefer Isaiah Likely over Harrison Bryant/Fannin Jr. due to the Bengals’ extreme vulnerability to tight ends; they choose Devin Neal over Chuba Hubbard because Neal has clearer volume and goal-line opportunity; they pick Blake Corum over Devin Singletary citing Corum’s red-zone role in the Rams’ committee; they debate Terry McLaurin vs. RJ Harvey, ultimately favoring Harvey due to Washington’s unstable offense; they lean Tyler Allgeier over Jordan Mason due to Allgeier’s defined touchdown role; and they choose D’Andre Swift over Stefon Diggs because Swift remains consistently involved while Diggs has become unreliable despite a past revenge game. They close by discussing their own fantasy playoff scenarios, reflecting on recent player performances like Jalen Hurts and Matthew Stafford, teasing the upcoming Army-Navy game, and giving listeners their social handles before signing off.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk sports recap for this weekend. The guys also preview Monday Night Football and much more. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 14, noting the Texans’ dominant defense holding KC to 10 points and completing a crucial 3-0 stretch vs Bills/Colts/Chiefs, putting them firmly in the AFC playoff and division race with a soft final four-game schedule. They break down SNF where KC’s banged-up OL struggled against Houston’s elite front led by Will Anderson, contributing to Mahomes’ rough fourth quarter and the growing question of whether the Chiefs’ dynasty window is slipping, with issues at WR, OL health, aging Travis Kelce and a shaky run game. Mack jokes about Travis/Taylor Swift, while both agree KC needs retooling, not a total teardown, around Mahomes. Discussion shifts to Chiefs playoff odds (~18%), their remaining schedule, and whether a hedge is worth considering. They cover Texans’ upside, citing their defense as potentially conference-championship caliber if it sustains. They debate AFC’s best team; Mack says Bengals despite likely missing playoffs. Survivor pool carnage leaves only 11 entries. Market downgrades: Colts lose Daniel Jones to an Achilles tear, massive line move vs Seattle; Washington downgraded with Jaden Daniels hurt and a porous defense; Ravens downgraded as AFC North tightens, Steelers favored to win division; Browns downgraded after losing to Tennessee. Upgrades: Jaguars (big win, now AFC South favorites), Vikings (JJ McCarthy shows life vs Washington), Packers (Jordan Love surging, now road favorites in Denver), plus modest upgrades for Rams, Saints, Steelers. They hit league narratives: Miami’s slim playoff odds, question whether Harbaugh survives if Ravens miss postseason, Chiefs’ 2026 cap table showing huge OL and Mahomes commitments. They preview MNF: Eagles at Chargers, line Eagles -2.5, Herbert expected to play despite hand surgery; Chargers RB Hampton activated but likely limited; Eagles in a buy-low spot needing a rebound after poor recent showings; Chargers inconsistent, often struggling vs bad defenses; Munaf’s best bet is Eagles -2.5. Mack’s best bet: Kamani Vidal over 35.5 rush yards due to shotgun usage and matchup vs an Eagles run D recently gashed by Chicago. They align that both bets can win. NBA chatter: Wemby nearing return, in-season tournament quarterfinals upcoming; Mack fires a 2-star under 238.5 in Heat-Magic due to offensive regression and playoff-style environment; they discuss the Thunder’s historic start and LeBron’s clutch play vs Philly. Closing banter hits CFB playoff controversies (Alabama getting in over hotter two-loss teams like Notre Dame), potential future expansion, and upcoming NFL/NBA pod content, with reminders to use Pregame promo code RPO15.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball betting for this weekend. The episode of the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast features Griffin Warner and Big East Ben discussing upcoming Friday and Saturday college basketball games while mixing in humor, personal anecdotes, and commentary on recent sports happenings. They open with banter about NFL moments, fantasy football frustrations, and a tweet announcing the new Royal Palm Invitational in Dubai, joking about team invitations and media personalities. They move into handicapping five college basketball matchups. For Gonzaga vs Kentucky in Nashville, both hosts agree Kentucky is struggling due to injuries, poor shooting, and roster concerns, and they prefer Gonzaga’s experience and preparation. For the Cincinnati–Xavier rivalry game, they note the unusual Friday slot, criticize Cincinnati’s stagnant offense led by Shammah Scott’s inefficiency, highlight Xavier’s improved play and shooting, and lean toward the Musketeers at home. For Duke at Michigan State, they debate whether Duke should be favored, discuss both teams’ defensive strengths and shooting inconsistencies, with Griffin leaning toward MSU at home and Ben preferring the under. For Illinois vs Tennessee in Nashville, they consider Illinois volatile but dangerous, Tennessee coming off consecutive losses, the prior-year ending controversy, and matchup edges on the glass and in defensive consistency, ultimately siding with Tennessee. For Purdue vs Iowa State, they discuss Iowa State’s record-setting blowout of Alcorn State, the uncertainty around star guard Tamin Lipsey’s status, Purdue’s stability behind Braden Smith, and conclude Purdue is the side regardless of injury news. They close with personal notes—Ben traveling to Madison for Marquette–Wisconsin, family traditions, weather complaints, and jokes about Marquette’s frontcourt—before giving best bets: Ben chooses Gonzaga, Griffin chooses Tennessee. Promo code “rebound15” is repeated as support for the show, and they sign off encouraging listeners to follow upcoming episodes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down Friday’s NBA slate, opening with Giannis Antetokounmpo’s uncertain future in Milwaukee after reports that he and his agent began discussing whether staying with the Bucks or seeking a trade is best, followed almost immediately by news of Giannis’ calf strain sidelining him 2–4 weeks, prompting speculation that he may have played his last game for Milwaukee; they revisit summer rumors connecting him to the Knicks and explore potential destinations such as New York, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Houston, and Golden State, debating which fits maximize his legacy and whether his game, while dominant, elevates a team the same way Jokic or SGA does, with Mackenzie arguing Giannis is more top-20 all-time than top-10 and noting that efficiency metrics inflate modern stars; they discuss how OKC’s depth and draft capital could create a dynasty with Giannis, how the Knicks would instantly become East favorites, and whether the league would allow another super-team; conversation shifts to broader GOAT talk, comparing Jordan, Kobe, Hakeem, Steph, LeBron, and Jokic, with Mackenzie calling Steph far more impactful than LeBron and framing Jokic as an all-time offensive engine who still hasn’t consistently proven elite defense; they move into Friday’s games, starting with Lakers-Celtics, weighing LeBron’s aging impact, back-to-backs, and injury news, leaning slightly toward Lakers +7.5; next they preview Heat-Magic, highlighting Orlando’s rising offense, improved defense, Banchero’s possible return, and Desmond Bane’s emergence there, with Mackenzie making Magic -5.5 his best bet; they analyze Spurs-Cavs, noting Cleveland’s injuries to Garland, Allen, Streus and San Antonio missing Wembanyama, yet Mackenzie still prefers Cavs -5.5; Munaf gives his best bet as Nuggets-Hawks over 237.5 due to Denver’s elite offense and league-worst recent defense plus Atlanta’s pace; they touch on Bucks-Sixers, where Mackenzie likes Philly strongly, even suggesting alt lines like -9.5 due to a likely Milwaukee letdown; they briefly cover Clippers drama, Chris Paul’s exit, James Harden’s mixed impact, and the possibility of L.A. eventually blowing it up though Mackenzie doubts it given contracts and the new arena; to close, they promote the SHOOT15 Pregame.com discount and reflect on the nonstop nature of NBA news, committing to weekly coverage and acknowledging strong recent betting runs.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for week 14. Dan and Mack review their NFL Survivor run that ended in Week 13 after the Eagles’ loss to the Bears, agreeing the pick was still correct given the alternatives and that hindsight doesn’t change the logic. They felt their season-long strategy of selecting strong favorites was sound and that they consistently avoided land mines, even benefiting from lucky timing with teams like the Jets and Bengals earlier in the year. They discuss how the Eagles’ short-yardage dominance has collapsed, possibly due to offensive line injuries, defensive adjustments, or simple sloppiness, making the tush push far less reliable. They also note the Eagles’ vulnerability going forward after giving up 287 rushing yards to Chicago and needing turnovers to survive games. Turning to Week 14 Survivor, they view the Buccaneers as the strongest available favorite despite concerns over their offensive line, Baker Mayfield’s inconsistency, and the Saints’ ability to backdoor cover. The Rams are also viable—last week’s loss to Carolina was deemed fluky due to turnovers, and underlying metrics still rate L.A. strongly. They see Arizona as feisty with Jacoby Brissett but lacking the firepower to pull an upset if the Rams avoid big mistakes. Denver is another option: although Bo Nix is volatile, the Broncos’ defense matches well against a Raiders offense ranked near the bottom of the league in non-turnover EPA, and their low-variance style makes them viable in Survivor. Seattle is a riskier favorite because defenses appear to have adjusted to Sam Darnold, and Atlanta’s recent competitiveness suggests real upset potential, especially if Drake London plays. Cleveland is mentioned as an ugly but sharp leverage option for players needing differentiation. They lament that their planned route—saving the Buccaneers for Week 14—would have worked if not for the Eagles’ late fumble, describing it as a slow-motion crash. They also criticize Caleb Williams and the Bears’ fluky wins, arguing his accuracy is a concern and Ben Johnson appears frustrated despite public walk-backs, suggesting Chicago’s offense could face major regression next season once the schedule tightens. Despite the elimination disappointment, they reaffirm the value of the podcast for strategy discussion and plan to continue offering insights for the remainder of the season.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contest betting for Week 14. Munaf Manji opens the NFL Week 14 Contest Podcast with Mackenzie Rivers and Uncle Dave Essler, noting the chaos of Thanksgiving week and that only 45 entries remain in Circa Survivor after a massive 851-entry wipeout. They break down how all three Thanksgiving favorites lost, how Chicago upset Philadelphia on Black Friday, and how the Rams’ loss to Carolina knocked out four more on Sunday. Mackenzie and Dan were eliminated in Survivor, and Mack jokingly laments missing Fezzik’s hindsight advice to take the Bears as a big dog. They review key picks for Week 14. Uncle Dave takes the Jaguars over the Colts, arguing Indy has been propped up by an easy schedule while Jacksonville, despite inconsistencies, is healthier and stronger at home. Munaf adds that Daniel Jones’ injury limits the Colts’ offense and expects Jacksonville to load the box against Jonathan Taylor. Mack sees the matchup as close but leans Jags due to historical Colts struggles in Jacksonville. Mack’s best bet is the Bills over the Bengals, noting the line is similar to their January 2023 playoff meeting despite Cincinnati being far weaker now and Buffalo’s elite rushing matchup against a poor Bengals rush defense. Munaf expects Buffalo to score 30+ and exploit Cincinnati’s offensive-line issues even with Joe Burrow healthy. Dave agrees the Bengals’ defense is too weak to justify market respect. Munaf’s pick is the Ravens over the Steelers, citing Baltimore’s bounce-back spot, Derrick Henry’s matchup edge, Pittsburgh’s struggling offense, and poor wide-receiver chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. Dave supports it, noting Pittsburgh’s run-defense collapse vs Buffalo and internal frustration around Rodgers calling out teammates. Mack acknowledges Tomlin-as-dog trends but still leans Ravens due to matchup disadvantages. They discuss whether Tomlin’s 19-season winning-record streak will finally end, reviewing a brutal remaining Steelers schedule (Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, Ravens again) and concluding an 8-9 finish is likely. In Survivor talk, Uncle Dave would use the Eagles over the Chargers despite Philly’s recent losses, arguing the Chargers’ résumé is weak and Harbaugh may not be the NFL fit people expect. Mack’s mapped-out Survivor plan had Tampa Bay beating the Saints this week and still believes the Bucs are the right side with New Orleans showing no incentive to win. Munaf also likes the Bucs and adds the Rams as strong options vs a fading Cardinals team giving up 27+ points in four straight games. They close the episode with gratitude, reflecting on the season, encouraging listener feedback for future shows, and reminding everyone to follow their Survivor coverage and other Pregame podcasts.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 14. In this episode Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down Week 14 fantasy football and the key Thursday night matchup between the Cowboys and Lions, a game carrying major playoff implications for both teams. Rod is fighting for a playoff spot in his home league while Munaf notes his own leagues are mostly set, but both agree this week is critical for many fantasy managers. They recap Thanksgiving and Black Friday games, where favorites fell, overs hit, and several fantasy stars delivered. They then dig into Lions–Cowboys: Dallas is surging behind an MVP-caliber Dak Prescott while Detroit has cooled, losing two of three and struggling with injuries, especially to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta. The Cowboys’ pass rush, Detroit’s shaky secondary, and both teams’ explosive offenses suggest a high-scoring game. They debate the spread (Detroit –3) and both lean Dallas +3 while agreeing the over 54.5 makes sense with both teams averaging nearly 30 points per game. Fantasy implications center on whether St. Brown plays; if he sits, Jameson Williams and deep sleeper Isaac TeSla become viable options, especially with Khalif Raymond and Brock Wright out. They highlight Detroit’s reliance on Gibbs and Montgomery in both run and pass game, plus Dallas exploiting Detroit’s defensive injuries. They discuss flex decisions: RJ Harvey vs Amani Bailey (lean Harvey), Kal Monangai vs Brian Thomas Jr. (lean Monangai), Jayden Higgins vs Brenton Strange (lean Higgins), Jayden Higgins vs Devin Neal (again Higgins, given Saints’ struggles and Texans’ need for WR2 production), Tyler Allgeier vs Blake Corum (lean Allgeier due to red-zone usage), and Rashee Rice vs Bucky Irving (essentially a toss-up, but volume favors Rice while matchup favors Irving). They close by reminding listeners about Pregame’s MVP15 promo code and encouraging managers to attack waivers, prepare for playoffs, and set lineups carefully as bye weeks end and injuries mount. Both hosts are excited for Week 14, hoping to push themselves—and their listeners—into the postseason with the right flex calls and matchup plays. Learn more about your ad choices.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk CBB betting for Tuesday. Best bets as always. UConn–Kansas ranks among the most anticipated early-season matchups in college basketball, pairing elite coaching, NBA-level talent, and two of the sport’s most reliable brands in a game that could shape both teams’ March résumés. UConn enters looking like a continuation of last season’s national-title machine, with Caravan shooting confidently, Sreed emerging as a two-way force, and the support pieces blending smoothly into Hurley’s structured, slow-paced offense. Their defense again grades among the nation’s best, consistently forcing opponents into late-clock jumpers. Kansas, meanwhile, remains formidable even with roster turnover, built on collective size, disciplined rotations, and interior toughness anchored by big men like Tiller and Bedunga. The potential return of star freshman Darren Peterson introduces a major variable, as his scoring and shot creation elevate Kansas from good to dangerous, especially at home. Allen Fieldhouse is historically the hardest venue in college basketball, though NIL dynamics and roster volatility have softened its invincibility. Kansas has taken losses only to North Carolina teams and recently posted quality wins, yet their half-court offense tends to stagnate, with long possessions ending in predictable post entries. Both teams prefer deliberate tempos and physical half-court execution, producing an environment ripe for an under play, particularly around the projected number of 141.5. UConn’s offensive execution and continuity make them the more reliable group, but Kansas gaining back Peterson and leaning on home-court energy sets up a razor-thin margin. Ultimately, UConn’s rhythm, depth, and defensive layers give them a slight edge, but the road setting pushes this toward a near coin flip, the kind of December game that feels like March in intensity and reveals what both programs will become.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend betting action and much more. The guys also discuss the MNF game. The Week 13 Weekend Rewind show opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers reacting to a wild Sunday night game where Denver beat Washington 27–26 in overtime despite constant swings, flags, and late chaos. They credit Marcus Mariota for filling in effectively, though rookie Jaden Daniels is expected back next week. Both agree Washington’s two-point try was obvious given their season situation. They note Denver stays atop the AFC West at 10–2 while the Commanders fall despite fighting hard. Mackenzie expects fatigue effects next week because both teams played high-volume offensive snaps. Survivor carnage dominates the middle of the show: Thanksgiving wiped out over 850 entries as every underdog won (Packers over Lions, Cowboys over Chiefs, Bengals over Ravens, Bears over Eagles). They discuss hedging strategy, noting a six-way tie in the Grandissimo contest paid each over $1M. By Sunday only 45 entries remained with one more pending Monday night. Biggest downgrades: Vikings after J.J. McCarthy’s disastrous 4-INT outing amid confusion over concussion protocol; Chiefs fall from 5.5-point favorites to 3.5 vs Houston as the market finally stops giving them elite benefit of the doubt; Rams downgraded after losing outright as double-digit favorites to Carolina; Lions downgraded partly due to Goff’s slide and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s injury. Upgrades: Cowboys after back-to-back wins over Eagles and Chiefs; Jets with Tyrod Taylor playing efficiently and running for the winning TD; Bears dominating the Eagles on the ground and maybe becoming legitimate NFC North contenders; Bengals with Burrow healthy again; Texans improving behind CJ Stroud, rookie receivers, and a defense that continues to outperform expectations. They analyze division markets: AFC South tight among Colts, Jaguars, Texans; NFC East still Eagles-favored but Cowboys lurking; NFC North wide open with Chicago rising. They move to Monday Night Football: Patriots (10–2) vs Giants (2–10). Drake May is surging in MVP odds, and New England has won nine straight with strong defense and Travion Henderson emerging as their lead back. The Giants are better ATS than straight up on the road but struggle to finish games. Munaf likes Henderson’s rushing yards over given New York’s awful run defense (6.2 YPC allowed, 219 given to Gibbs last week). Mackenzie prefers Drake May under 245.5 passing yards, predicting Vrabel leans on the run. They mention Jackson Dart returning for New York and expect high pass attempts if they fall behind. They wrap with NBA chatter: whether the Thunder can break the 73-win record; Mackenzie predicts around 70–12. They close discussing the 49ers’ strong defensive form, Purdy’s connection with Kittle, and optimism for San Francisco’s division race before signing off with promo codes and reminders for upcoming pods.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contests for week 13. The hosts break down Week 13 NFL contests with Survivor strategy and ATS picks, starting with a recap of Week 12 where 39 Survivor entries were eliminated, mostly on the Raiders, leaving 900 entries worth about $20.8k each in Circa and all six Grandissimo entries still alive worth $1.15M each. Mackenzie gives his pick: Broncos −6 vs Washington, citing Denver’s defense, Washington’s weak home field, Mariota likely starting, and the strength of road favorites off a bye. Munaf agrees, noting Denver’s scoring consistency and Washington’s defensive issues. Dave cautions that if Daniels plays he’d lean Washington but otherwise sides with Denver. Dave’s pick is Cowboys over Chiefs on Thanksgiving, arguing KC is not fully right, Dallas proved something with their comeback, and Mahomes’ team may not handle adversity as well as past years. Mackenzie likes Dallas with the points and cites a 6–25 trend for non-home Thursday teams off Sunday OT. Munaf praises Dallas’ defensive second half vs Philly and KC’s regression in close games. Munaf’s pick is Rams −10.5 at Carolina, expecting a two-TD win based on Carolina’s poor performances vs winning teams, Rams’ offensive rhythm, Stafford’s MVP-level play, and LAR’s defense generating turnovers. Dave and Mack agree Carolina is weak and McVay is trustworthy as a road favorite. They then discuss Bengals vs Ravens: Burrow returns, Higgins out, Ravens inconsistent, Bengals defense weak, possible Derrick Henry heavy game, and lean Bengals +7 or under. Survivor strategy: Circa splits Thanksgiving as 13A and Sunday as 13B; big favorites include Ravens, Eagles, Rams, Jags, Seahawks, Chargers. Dave prefers Eagles as safest pick; Munaf agrees. Mack and Dan’s live Survivor entries are using Eagles for 13A and Chargers for 13B but Mack is nervous about both sides. They warn against Jacksonville due to Tennessee’s recent covers and Cam Ward improving. They close with holiday notes, thanking listeners, emphasizing family time, and joking about tryptophan and naps. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Week 14 Survivor contest. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera deliver an exhaustive Week 14 Survivor breakdown, opening with a review of advanced Pregame analytics—fourth-quarter win share, Kevin Cole’s adjusted score, PFF noise-canceled score, non-turnover EPA, recalculated score, and strength-of-schedule adjustments—to argue which teams truly rank at the top despite misleading records. Surprisingly, metrics elevate the Rams, Chiefs, Seahawks, and Colts, while the Eagles grade only around 11–13 despite being power-rated like contenders. Turning to Week 13A, they commit to using the Eagles, reasoning that Philadelphia’s ball-security advantage offsets the Bears’ turnover-driven overperformance, and that a post-loss, must-respond spot favors the Eagles regaining control despite Chicago’s recent improbable wins. The hosts acknowledge Caleb Williams’ volatility but view Chicago’s defensive metrics—bottom-three by several analytics—as too weak to justify fading Philly. For Week 13B, they evaluate alternatives like the 49ers, Seahawks, and Jaguars, ultimately concluding the Chargers are the optimal but uneasy play. They cite concerns about L.A.’s offensive line, the Raiders’ potential “dead-cat bounce” with coaching changes, and historical trends showing favorites off a bye after a blowout loss underperforming. Still, the Chargers’ situational advantages and lack of future scheduling value make them the necessary pick over Jacksonville, who has better outs later. The hosts then map the long-term path: Week 14 Buccaneers (if Baker Mayfield is healthy), Week 15 49ers off their bye vs. Tennessee, Week 16 likely Cardinals or Saints depending on injuries, Week 17 Cowboys at Washington (a historically strong road spot), and Week 18 tentatively Jaguars vs. Titans, understanding that chaotic motivation variables will shape the final decision. They emphasize the realism of sweating both Week 13 games, the uniqueness of surviving deep into a public Survivor contest, and their commitment to continuing the journey weekly, even as analytics, injury uncertainty, weather, and variance keep tightening margins the deeper they advance.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL betting for Thanksgiving Day games. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji preview the Thanksgiving NFL slate and associated fantasy dilemmas, highlighting how Week 13’s early schedule compresses preparation for managers chasing final playoff berths. They open with Packers-Lions, noting Detroit’s strong ATS history at home under Dan Campbell and the matchup’s volatility, with questions surrounding Josh Jacobs’ health and Sam LaPorta’s absence. Munaf favors the game total over 48.5 and projects Jared Goff to shoulder more offensive load, while Rod echoes concern about Detroit’s run-game efficiency versus Green Bay’s stout rush defense. Prop discussions lean under on Jameer Gibbs rushing, over on Jameson Williams receiving, and cautious optimism for Jordan Love’s pass-catchers. Moving to Chiefs-Cowboys, both hosts frame the matchup as a clash of two widely polarizing franchises, debating Dallas’ impressive comeback and second-half defensive shutout against Philadelphia versus Kansas City’s regression in one-score games. Munaf backs Dallas +3.5 and expects a pass-heavy Kansas City approach, highlighting Patrick Mahomes’ yardage upside and Rashee Rice’s emergence, while Rod argues that the Cowboys’ shifting receiver hierarchy—George Pickens ascending while CeeDee Lamb shows uncharacteristic miscues—creates fantasy uncertainty. They explore prop angles including Kareem Hunt rushing overs, noting his rising usage and recent efficiency. For the nightcap, Bengals-Ravens, they question Cincinnati’s decision to rush Joe Burrow back but still prefer Bengals +7 given Baltimore’s weak ATS record as a home favorite and historically close division games. They forecast a potential shootout, recommending Joe Burrow passing overs, Derrick Henry rushing overs based on Cincinnati’s vulnerable run defense, and Chase Brown unders on rushing but overs on receiving. In fantasy flex debates, they compare David Montgomery vs. Romeo Doubs, Emmanuel Wilson’s viability if Jacobs sits, Mike Gesicki as a T-Higgins-replacement option, and the perpetual headache of choosing a Chiefs wideout, with Xavier Worthy a viable pivot given Rashee Rice’s injury status. They close by reminding listeners to enjoy football without abandoning bankroll discipline, emphasizing that Thanksgiving should remain a day of food, family, and measured wagering rather than reckless betting.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action for Week 12 and preview MNF 49ers at Panthers. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NFL Week 12, starting with the Rams’ dominant win over the Buccaneers and the early 21-0 surge built by Matthew Stafford, whose MVP odds jumped as Baker Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury; they note the Rams’ rise as Super Bowl favorites and discuss how New England’s coaching and Drake May’s progress have shifted expectations, while the Buccaneers’ divisional outlook hinges on Mayfield’s MRI; Survivor results showed minimal carnage with most players advancing but big picks resting on the 49ers Monday night; downgrades hit the Raiders after firing OC Chip Kelly, the Vikings after J.J. McCarthy struggles, and the Saints after more offensive issues, while Mack criticizes Minnesota’s QB choice by comparing McCarthy’s historically poor EPA to JaMarcus Russell; upgrades include a major market move on the Bengals with Joe Burrow’s expected return despite their lost season, plus rising confidence in the Texans behind an elite defense and the Colts’ solid metrics; the Cardinals get a slight bump while Tampa projects a bigger drop when Mayfield’s injury is priced in; they preview 49ers-Panthers, discussing San Francisco’s healthier offense with Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle, and Pearsall, noting defensive injuries but expecting the Niners to roll against a Panthers team with inflated results and limited passing production from Bryce Young, though Carolina’s Ted McMillan stands out as a key weapon; they outline prop angles including Young’s passing overs and Kittle’s receiving overs, and evaluate paths for a Panthers upset that mostly require an offensive explosion against a depleted SF defense; they also highlight Rico Dowdle’s emergence, Young’s likely high attempts, and the Niners’ efficiency edge; the hosts touch on Dallas’ comeback over Philadelphia, concerns about the Eagles’ struggling run game, Hurts’ limitations on third down, and why Munaf prefers the Rams over the Eagles in the NFC; they close with best bets—Mack taking Cowboys +3.5 on Thanksgiving due to the Chiefs’ overtime-to-short-week ATS trend, Munaf laying 49ers -7.5 on Monday night expecting turnovers and a comfortable SF win, and Mack calling an exact 42-20 Niners score—then wrap with notes on Survivor hopes, Thanksgiving content, and a beard-themed sign-off.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball for this weekend. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben recap the week in college hoops, open with Marquette concerns after losing to Dayton, and assess the Big East as potentially a two-bid league with Providence, Creighton, and others underperforming. Ben vents about bad gambling variance but re-energizes after exciting mid-major games like Troy vs USC in triple OT. They analyze upcoming Saturday matchups: Northern Iowa vs UC Irvine, noting UNI’s continuity and shooting versus Irvine’s elite three-point prevention; they both lean Irvine at home. Providence vs Penn State at Mohegan Sun prompts skepticism toward Kim English’s Friars and support for Penn State as an underdog. For Northwestern vs Butler, they praise Butler’s revamped roster, Finley Bizjack’s emergence, and new cohesion compared to last year’s stagnant offense, while raising concerns about Northwestern’s rebounding after losing to Virginia in a high-tempo surprise. They expect a lower-scoring style and discuss potential totals angles. They also examine South Carolina’s inconsistency and roster size issues entering a projected underdog spot. Throughout, they mix betting insights, roster breakdowns, coaching notes, and behavioral tendencies, finishing with promo details and best bets: Ben taking Marquette -21 vs Central Michigan and Griffin taking UC Irvine pick’em.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk betting NBA for this weekend. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down the NBA’s current landscape, focusing on major injuries, betting value, pace trends, and team outlooks. They discuss Giannis’ multi-week absence and how he is worth six points to the betting line, the Spurs’ growth without Wembanyama while emphasizing his true on-court value (around four points), and how San Antonio’s system and enthusiasm give them long-term upside. They highlight the league-wide injury spike, schedule compression, and why players are missing more games, referencing Steve Kerr’s comments and pointing out that the NBA’s push for TV optimization impacts competitive balance. They analyze inflated scoring and pace, noting overs hitting around 55% despite book adjustments, and review totals reaching the 250s by examining past high-total results. Team-by-team discussions include the Wizards’ tank-like style, Kings’ collapse and possible blow-up, Pistons’ rise behind Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, and the Bucks’ likely struggles without Giannis. They emphasize betting angles such as fading early-start overs, backing teams in second games after star returns, and monitoring shooting regression. They preview Saturday games including Knicks-Magic, Bucks-Pistons, and Nuggets-Kings, offering leans and matchup logic, while touching on Denver’s reliance on Jokic’s historic impact and Jamal Murray’s importance. They close with promotional info for pregame.com’s packages and contests, then deliver best bets involving Nuggets situational plays and the Bulls-Wizards over. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 12. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera break down NFL Week 12 Survivor strategy, MVP odds, team power ratings, and future-week planning. Mack opens by noting major movement in MVP markets, especially Matthew Stafford rising against Drake May, and argues Stafford should be the favorite due to team strength, narrative, and veteran status. Dan emphasizes that betting awards requires thinking like the media, and the Patriots’ soft schedule hurts May’s candidacy. They discuss power-rating models showing the Rams as the top team, the Chiefs second, and surprisingly the Texans third due to strong underlying metrics despite a .500 record. Shifting to Survivor, they highlight Seattle as the top Week 12 option versus the Titans: Tennessee grades as bottom-tier across analytic systems, has one of the league’s worst offenses, and relies on Cam Ward, whose turnover tendencies create multiple paths for a Seahawks win. They compare alternative Seattle usage weeks but conclude Week 12 is optimal even assigning pessimistic turnover scenarios. They cover other big favorites: the Lions (whose home splits and Jekyll-and-Hyde Jared Goff profile point to a strong bounce-back vs the Giants), the Ravens (concerns around Lamar’s health, short-week turnaround, and potential Joe Burrow return in Week 13), the Packers (Jordan Love inconsistency, injuries to Josh Jacobs/Tucker Kraft, and JJ McCarthy volatility), the Rams vs Bucs (Rams may “screw around,” Bucs too injured and erratic), and the 49ers (better held for Week 15 vs Tennessee after a bye). They repeatedly stress that late-season future value is more important than raw win probability. They examine Week 13 Thanksgiving lines: Lions over Packers, Chiefs over Cowboys, Ravens over Bengals, and Eagles over Bengals (depending on Burrow’s readiness). They warn that using the Ravens in Week 13 is riskier than the market implies, given divisional familiarity and Baltimore’s offensive stagnation. They touch briefly on off-the-wall options like the Bears, Saints, Jaguars, and Patriots but generally dismiss them due to fluky profiles or better future deployment. Dan notes the Saints may become viable in Weeks 16–17 when they face the Jets or Titans. Ultimately both hosts circle back to Seattle as the cleanest Week 12 Survivor pick, citing matchup, quarterback disparity, and Tennessee’s inability to generate offense without extreme turnover luck.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contest picks for week 12. The NFL Week 12 Contest Podcast on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview breaks down Circa Survivor results, contest trends, and the best ATS picks as Munaf Manji, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers analyze a slate filled with tight lines and questionable offenses. They open by reviewing Survivor carnage, noting that Atlanta’s loss knocked out the largest share of entries and that fading the top-five consensus continues to cash at over 60% on the season. Mackenzie leads with Browns vs Raiders and advocates the under, citing historic performance of totals at 36 or below and arguing that Cleveland’s defense and atrocious offensive matchups create a strong statistical edge. Munaf and Dave echo the lack of offensive upside from both Shadour Sanders and Geno Smith, projecting a slow, run-heavy game focused on Judkins and the Browns’ ground attack. Dave backs the Browns side as well, expecting Sanders to struggle against Cleveland’s elite defensive front. Dave’s second pick targets Rams vs Buccaneers, backing Los Angeles behind Stafford’s bounce-back opportunity, elite coaching, top-tier defense, and Tampa’s inflated perception after late-game heroics. Munaf supports the Rams for similar reasons and anticipates big passing production from Stafford. Mackenzie follows by reaffirming his stance that the Rams are the best team in football according to his metrics and that Tampa’s record hides a middling profile propped up by late drives. Munaf’s best bet is 49ers -7 on Monday Night Football, praising San Francisco’s restored offensive health, Brock Purdy’s efficiency, Christian McCaffrey’s consistency, and a favorable matchup against a Panthers team whose road wins hide structural flaws. Both Dave and Mackenzie agree the 49ers should dominate. Survivor strategy closes the show, with discussion of big favorites such as Seahawks, Ravens, Rams, Lions, and Niners. Dave highlights the Bears as an unconventional option due to home performance and Pittsburgh’s offensive issues, while Munaf leans Seahawks or Ravens as safe chalk. Mackenzie updates listeners on the Survivor Pod’s remaining live entry and reiterates Seattle as the preferred play. The hosts finish with promo reminders and light banter, giving listeners contest-ready insights for Week 12. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 12. The guys also preview TNF Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down the Week 12 fantasy football slate on Straight Outta Vegas AM, focusing on playoff pushes, Thursday Night Football props, and the most important flex decisions for managers trying to clinch or survive. They open with playoff updates, lineup struggles, and key injuries before analyzing Bills vs Texans, a matchup featuring Buffalo’s inconsistency, Houston’s tough schedule stretch, and Davis Mills stepping in again for the injured CJ Stroud. Munaf expects a defensive, low-scoring game and backs Houston +6 due to its elite run defense and proven ability to generate pressure; both hosts prefer the under 43.5 as Thursday games trend sluggish. Dalton Schultz is highlighted as Mills’ top safety blanket after 20 targets across two weeks, while James Cook is projected to struggle against a Houston front allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game. Props discussed include Schultz receiving overs, James Cook rushing unders, and potential live overs on Mills pass yards if Houston trails. The flex section begins with Woody Marks as a top play based on Buffalo’s recent vulnerability to opposing RBs, with both hosts expecting Houston to lean heavily on the run. They warn against chasing Dawson Knox or Tyrell Shavers despite injuries, and they fade Keon Coleman due to inconsistency and disciplinary concerns. Additional flex debates include Alec Pierce vs Christian Watson, where Pierce’s increasing volume under Daniel Jones earns the nod, and Emmanuel Wilson vs Michael Wilson, with Emmanuel projected for expanded usage in the Packers’ ground-heavy approach. Romeo Doubs is preferred over Sean Tucker as Tucker’s Week 11 explosion is labeled an overreaction given the Rams’ elite run defense and the Bucs’ returning RB depth. The tight-end matchup of Kyle Pitts vs Colston Loveland tilts toward Pitts with Atlanta’s depleted receiver room and Cousins under center. Bam Knight and Mac Hollins close the segment as avoid candidates due to brutal matchups and returning teammates. The episode wraps with promo details, bye-week reminders, and encouragement for managers navigating the final push toward the fantasy playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor the sharpest mind in golf gets you ready for this weeks RSM Classic. Will breaks down all his selections with the sharpest analysis. Follow Will for more in the world of golf on X @drmedia59 The podcast previews the final PGA Tour fall event, the RSM Classic at Sea Island, focusing on accurate drivers, strong wedge players, and elite Bermuda putters across the Seaside course (three rounds) and Plantation (one round). Harris English opened 25-1 but is a pass due to a long layoff despite strong 2025 results. Si Woo Kim is also a pass because Bermuda is his worst surface and he has a poor RSM record. Torbjorn (Torby) Johnson, 25-1, has solid form and good course history, but the recommendation is to wait for a live 35-40 number. Brian Harman, 28-1, is dangerous at his home event with three past top-10s, but again the play is to wait for a better live price. Rico Hoey at 30-1 is trending upward with improved Bermuda putting thanks to the broomstick and strong ball-striking; he’ll appear in picks later. Denny McCarthy is a pass at 30-1 because he hasn’t played since August and historically performs better here when he has fall reps. JT Poston, 33-1, is also a pass despite living in Sea Island and closing 64-63 here in 2024, though a top-20 (+150) is reasonable. The lone matchup is Vince Whaley over Matt Wallace at –130 because Wallace has missed two of his last three cuts and never finished better than T37 here, while Whaley has made every fall cut with two top-fives and two straight top-15s at the RSM. Picks to place: Rico Hoey top-10 (+300); David Ford top-20 (+450) due to accuracy, Jones Cup success at nearby Ocean Forest, and a recent T3 at Black Desert; third pick follows later. Outrights: Chris Kirk 35-1, a six-time winner and former RSM champion with strong late-season form despite a three-month layoff; Pearson Cootie 50-1, showing elite driving accuracy plus Bermuda putting and multiple strong fall ball-striking weeks; Andrew Novak 80-1, who lives locally, finished second at Harbour Town, won the Zurich teams event, and consistently spikes on low-country layouts even though his Sea Island record is weak. Sleeper: Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainey top-20 at 30-1 after six straight Champions Tour top-25s including a win and a T3, returning to the site of his lone PGA Tour win and needing no distance advantage. DraftKings lineup: Rico Hoey 9.8k, Chris Kirk 8.9k, Vince Whaley 8.7k, Bud Cauley 8k, Andrew Novak 7.3k, David Ford 6.8k. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action from week 11. The guys also preview MNF Dallas at Raiders The episode recaps NFL Week 11, starting with the 49ers’ dominant 41–22 win behind Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey as they keep pace in the NFC West. The hosts break down Eagles–Lions Sunday Night Football, where Philadelphia won 16–9 in a defensive struggle marked by questionable officiating, Detroit’s 0-for-5 fourth-down failures, and one of Jared Goff’s worst performances as pressure forced errant throws and stalled drives. They discuss league-wide analytics trends, like Miami opting not to kick a late field goal in a 16–13 win over Washington, contrasting aggressive versus conservative decision-making. The NFC North race tightens as Chicago beats Minnesota, exposing concerns about rookie QB J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings’ sputtering offense, while Detroit still appears capable of rebounding despite injuries and a tough remaining schedule. Survivor pools saw minimal carnage, with the Patriots widely chosen and victorious; only small Falcons, Vikings, and a lone Chiefs pick were eliminated. The Chiefs’ 22–19 loss to Denver raises questions but the hosts still expect Mahomes to get them into the playoffs despite their 0–5 record in one-score games. Downgrades include Kansas City, Detroit, Tennessee and Minnesota; upgrades go to the Patriots, Bills and Bears as market ratings shift based on injuries and performance. Quarterback injuries pile up: Aaron Rodgers’ wrist fracture, Michael Penix Jr.’s aggravated knee, Justin Herbert’s uncertain status, Dylan Gabriel’s concussion leading to Shador Sanders’ debut, and Josh Jacobs’ non-season-ending knee issue. They highlight Jacoby Brissett’s NFL-record 47 completions in a loss to the 49ers, big receiving days for Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, and Purdy’s efficient three-TD outing. Looking ahead, the 49ers face a soft stretch versus Carolina, Cleveland and Tennessee. For Monday Night Football, the Cowboys visit the Raiders as 3.5-point favorites with a 49.5 total; Dallas’ explosive offense contrasts with its weak defense and Vegas’ struggling offense. The hosts expect points, leaning to Dallas’ team total over, Dak Prescott’s overs, Brock Bowers’ receiving overs, and even some Geno Smith passing props due to Dallas’ vulnerable secondary. They close with best bets: Cavaliers -6.5 in the NBA, Brock Bowers receiving and receptions overs, and laying the massive number with Oklahoma City against New Orleans after the Pelicans’ coaching change and poor form, expecting a blowout.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend. The NBA pod opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers running through key injuries and early-season trends, starting with Jalen Brunson’s grade-one ankle sprain and Mack’s view that his value to the line has dipped as New York evolves beyond a Brunson-centric offense. They discuss the Hawks thriving defensively without Trae Young and whether the Knicks can mirror that dynamic with Bridges and Anunoby taking on more facilitation. Paolo Banchero’s groin issue is next, with Mack noting the timing hurts Orlando just as its offense was improving. They touch on LeBron’s return to a Lakers team that’s started well behind Luka and Austin Reaves, but Mack doubts LA’s true strength given their soft schedule and negative net rating. The Clippers’ bleak outlook follows: Beal’s season-ending injury, Kawhi’s worrisome foot-ankle-tendon chain, poor roster construction, and Mack’s three-point downgrade leading him to think they’ll miss the playoffs. Munaf notes LA’s 3–8 start and wonders if they’ll eventually blow it up; Mack doubts the trade market would give them meaningful return. They then shift to the league’s three one-win teams — Brooklyn, Indiana, and Washington — with Indiana’s mountain of guard injuries dragging them down, Brooklyn being exactly as bad as projected, and Washington playing an absurd pace that inflates opponent scoring and creates easy team-total overs. Discussion moves to Houston’s elite but low-pace offense and how fast-playing opponents, like Washington, artificially boost Houston’s scoring ceiling. They revisit the firing of Mavs GM Nico Harrison after the controversial Luka-for-AD trade; both hosts believe the move likely came from ownership rather than the front office, noting how illogical the trade was on basketball grounds. Munaf and Mack then debate Mack’s question of the week: Would you take OKC and Denver versus the field to win the title? Mack argues the betting market undervalues this combo, giving them ~43% implied odds, while he thinks OKC and Denver are clearly the two best teams, with OKC even better than last year despite missing Jalen Williams and SGA playing at a historic efficiency level, and Denver pairing elite cohesion with Jokic’s playoff elevation. They consider the Rockets as the next-best Western challenger and view the Warriors as dangerously thin behind Curry. The Timberwolves get credit for consistently battling Denver with Gobert’s Jokic defense, while the Spurs’ young core remains too inexperienced to threaten top teams. They preview Lakers–Bucks with both on a back-to-back, leaning Lakers due to better rhythm and the disruption of Giannis returning mid-stride, and then Nuggets–Wolves, where Mack prefers Minnesota as a home dog given Denver’s soft early schedule and Minnesota’s matchup strengths. The pod wraps with best bets: Mack taking OKC to win the title at +210, citing market inertia, and Munaf taking Clippers to miss the playoffs at plus money given age, injuries, poor construction, and likely sell-off potential, before closing with brief notes on Phoenix’s strong start despite injuries and plans for more game-focused pods ahead.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball for Friday and Saturday. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben break down upcoming college basketball matchups for the weekend, revisiting their early-season bets and observations. They start with Arizona vs UCLA at the Intuit Dome, debating home-court dynamics and lineup strengths, with both leaning toward UCLA as undervalued despite early struggles. They move to BYU vs UConn in Boston, discussing BYU’s shift away from ball movement, concerns over efficiency, and UConn’s defensive reliability, with Ben favoring UConn while Griffin worries about BYU’s depth. They dive into Clemson vs Georgetown, contrasting KenPom and Torvik projections, critiquing Clemson’s roster turnover, and noting Georgetown’s strong defensive pieces despite awful three-point shooting; Ben likes the under, Griffin leans Georgetown. They preview Houston vs Auburn in Birmingham, emphasizing Houston’s physicality, Auburn’s flawed roster, and questions about Bruce Pearl’s absence, with both expecting Houston to control the matchup. Ben presents his best bet: High Point -2.5 at UAB, praising High Point’s talent, depth, and upside while mocking UAB’s transfers and program direction. Griffin’s best bet is Georgetown as a short home underdog or up to -3, backing Buzz Williams’ early momentum. They close with promo details, scheduling notes, jokes about their dads’ picks, and plans for more episodes as the season ramps up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler talk NFL contest podcast. On this Week 11 NFL Contest Podcast, Munaf Manji hosts McKenzie Rivers and Uncle Dave Essler as they recap Circa Survivor results, ATS contest performance, and dive into their picks. Survivor dropped from 1,769 to 1,000 entries after heavy eliminations on the Panthers and Bills, with implied value at $18,718. McKenzie leads off with his best bet: Giants–Packers over 43.5, arguing historically fired-coach games trend over, especially when the interim coach is offensive-minded, and noting Jameis Winston’s volatility driving fireworks and overs. He views the market wrongly dragging the total down. Munaf agrees on Green Bay offensive urgency and New York’s defensive issues, leaning Giants +7. Dave pushes back, preferring the under due to forecasted rain and wind in New York, expecting Green Bay to run and limit pace. The group embraces the value in hearing both sides. Dave’s pick is Chargers over Jaguars, citing Jacksonville’s inconsistency, Trevor Lawrence’s regression, lack of trust from teammates, run-game issues, key injuries, and a deflating blown lead to Houston. Munaf agrees, noting the offensive injuries and mental state of Jacksonville. McKenzie calls both teams fraudulent and wants to fade the winner later. Munaf’s pick is Bills -5.5 vs Buccaneers, a bounce-back spot after a nasty Miami loss, with Buffalo’s run game through James Cook and Tampa’s cluster injuries at WR/RB. Dave agrees, citing weather favoring Buffalo’s ground game, Mayfield’s inexperience in those conditions, and adjusted scores suggesting Buffalo didn’t play as poorly as the box score indicated. Survivor talk: Dave likes Vikings over Bears, noting Chicago’s inflated record from weak opponents, poor defense, and Minnesota’s home edge. Munaf thinks the Cowboys or Chargers are viable if available. McKenzie says his and Dan’s survivor entry still alive and prefers Patriots as the top play, Ravens as second choice. They close with shoutouts to Sleepy Jay, pregame promotions, and plans for next week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor has sharpest mind in the world of golf and gets you ready for this weeks big golf events. Find out why everyone is now listening to @drmedia59 for his weekly golf suggestions. Bermuda & Dubai Golf Picks – Doc’s Redemption Card for Week 45 Will Doctor returned to Pregame’s Golf Preview podcast down 17.4 units but fully dialed in for the Bermuda Championship and the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. After recapping Ben Griffin’s third PGA Tour win and another “movie” finish for Aaron Rye, Doc framed Bermuda’s Port Royal as the ultimate equalizer — a 6,800-yard coastal track where wind trumps power and players grind for cards, not glory. He broke down the favorites: Rico Hoey (22-1) fading on Bermuda greens, Thorbjorn Olesen (22-1) a pass due to poor wind splits, and Nico Echevarria (28-1) his key play — elite on this surface, top-20 (+110) locked in. Supporting tickets: Matti Schmid (35-1 outright and +300 top 10) riding form from Cabo; veteran Matt Kuchar (40-1) whose precision game and Bermuda prowess mirror past wins at Mayakoba and Sony; and value sleeper Vince Whaley (+300 top 10) chasing another Port Royal top-finish. His DFS card stacked those names with David Ford and Will Chandler for salary balance. Shifting to Dubai, Doc highlighted a star-packed Earth Course: Rory McIlroy, already lending his name to the new “Rory Award,” and Tommy Fleetwood, both scorching hot after Abu Dhabi. His DP World Tour tickets were minimal but potent — Fleetwood top-5 (+110) and McIlroy to win (4-1). As the 2025 season wanes, Doc vowed to claw back the deficit with precision plays, coastal form analysis, and full transparency.

NFL Survivor Week 10 – Broncos the Pick, Colts Overreach, and Lessons from the Board As Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera hit the midpoint of the NFL Survivor season, their focus sharpened after cruising through Week 9 with the Rams and eyeing Week 10’s Thursday matchup in Denver. The pod opened with a fiery debate over the Colts’ blockbuster trade for Sauce Gardner — Rivera blasting GM Chris Ballard’s “all-in” gamble after years of bad drafting, while Rivers agreed the move screams desperation more than championship intent. With survivor strategy in mind, they shifted to this week’s slate, identifying the Broncos as the sharp early-week play: a rested home favorite facing a Raiders team gasping after an overtime road loss and heading into altitude. Rivera admitted discomfort with Bo Nix’s inconsistency but trusted Denver’s elite defense and the short-rest trend crushing visiting teams off overtime games. Rivers backed him with data — such teams are just 7-18 ATS since 2012 — and both hosts agreed the Broncos’ defense is the league’s steadiest unit by line-of-scrimmage metrics. They compared alternatives: Bills-Dolphins (potential letdown after KC win), Lions-Commanders (Detroit bounce-back vs. collapsing Washington), and long-term planning for Seattle’s Week 12 spot at Tennessee. Wrapping with trademark sarcasm and sponsor plugs, the duo declared the official Survivor play for Week 10 is Denver — no spreads, no hedges, just survival. Their mantra: pick stability, fade exhaustion, and stay alive one ugly favorite at a time Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for week 10 and preview Monday Night Football Eagles at Packers. Straight Outta Vegas AM Weekend Rewind: Sleepy J filled in for Munaf Manji with Mackenzie Rivers to recap NFL Week 10 and preview Monday Night Football. They opened with MVP talk: Drake May’s Patriots are rolling, his odds now 3-1 with three winnable games ahead; Sleepy argued that even if he posts modest stats, continued wins will push him near even money, so bet him now. Mackenzie agreed, noting MVP favorites often fall after one loss and the Patriots’ schedule and QB narrative keep May in pole position. Discussion shifted to Survivor pools—Sleepy liked the Panthers and Bills setups that both backfired; Mackenzie stressed survival over cleverness, saying the Broncos were safer than Carolina. They moved to upgrades: Patriots and Seahawks each +1 point, legitimate conference contenders; then Mackenzie’s top-five teams: Rams, Chiefs, Bills, Seahawks, Packers, while Sleepy leaned Eagles #1 as defending champs pacing themselves. Downgrades centered on Arizona after a 28-0 blowout; both debated Denver vs Buffalo with Mackenzie downgrading the Bills more, citing Josh Allen’s slump. They discussed market reactions: short-term line moves aren’t knee-jerk but reflect meaningful data in small NFL samples. On coaching hot seats, Mike McDaniel’s win over the Bills cooled pressure, while Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon looked doomed amid poor locker-room support and Kyler Murray uncertainty. Turning to Monday Night Football—Eagles at Packers, line GB -1, total 45½—Mackenzie favored Green Bay as a buy-low home team versus an overrated Eagles squad ranking mid-league in EPA and PFF metrics. Sleepy countered that Philly remains the better, deeper, rested team and likely to reassert itself as title form returns; despite Green Bay’s rush defense, missing WR Reed limits their attack. Mackenzie’s “pizza bet” best play was Packers +1, expecting hunger after a loss and a flat Philly favored -3000 in the NFC East. Sleepy’s best bet was a prop: Dallas Goddard over 32.5 yards. Rationale—Packers’ elite rush D forces Hurts to throw; Goddard is his go-to safety blanket, and Green Bay ranks near bottom defending tight ends. Sleepy projected 5–7 catches and about double the posted yardage. Mackenzie endorsed that prop, noting edges lie more in player markets than tight game lines. They agreed the matchup should be tight, around 23-20, decided late, making props the sharper angle. Closing banter covered Mackenzie’s dormant X account and upcoming Instagram picks, joking about his social-media withdrawals. They reminded listeners to follow @sleepyJ and @MackenzieRivers, check pregame.com, and wished everyone good luck. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk CBB weekend hoops action. Best bets as always. Emilio “Griffin” Warner hosts the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast with Big East Ben on the Pregame.com network, diving into early-season NCAA hoops. They recap matchups like Arizona–Florida and Texas–Duke before Ben spotlights IU Indy, calling the Jaguars’ relentless pressing style revolutionary, comparing it to hockey shifts. They discuss the team’s DII coach Ben Howlett and their up-tempo system before previewing major weekend games. First up, Arkansas at Michigan State: Ben favors Izzo’s Spartans for their home-court edge, rebounding, and transition play, noting they were strong ATS and an under team last year. Griffin agrees, citing cohesion and home crowd importance while teasing the under. Next, Alabama vs St. John’s at MSG: Ben praises Patino’s transformed Johnnies, citing balanced offense led by Hopkins, Jackson, and Sellers. Griffin questions the line but sides with home court, both agreeing St. John’s should cover. Their banter wanders through mayoral satire and MSG’s “wine and cheese crowd.” For Oklahoma vs Gonzaga in Spokane, Ben expects OU to hang within 11 points, doubting Gonzaga’s new backcourt of Braden Smith and Adam Miller, though acknowledging a strong frontcourt with E.K. and Grant-Foster. Griffin shares amusement at Miller’s on-court antics and warns against fading the Zags too early, leaning to the over if the Sooners keep pace. Sunday’s neutral-site Marquette–Indiana matchup follows, projected near Indiana -2, total 152. They debate Marquette’s athletic rebuild under Shaka Smart after losing Cam Jones, Joplin, and Mitchell, with Sean Jones and Chase Ross stepping up. Ben predicts a scrappy, defense-driven start and likes the first-half under. Griffin favors Marquette’s athleticism and depth, doubting IU’s cohesion under new coach Darian DeVries, whom Ben criticizes for jumping jobs and holding back his son’s eligibility. They joke about DeVries joining Ben’s “moral shit list,” riff on Dan Dakich, NIL hypocrisy, and even player names. Griffin emphasizes Marquette’s underdog value and crowd support in Chicago, envisioning a close finish. The show closes with betting picks: Ben’s best bet is George Washington +1.5 vs South Florida at Mohegan Sun, fading USF’s transfer-heavy roster. Griffin’s best bet is Michigan State -1 over Arkansas, highlighting home strength and early-season intensity. They plug promo code COLLEGE75 for $75 off season-long picks, encouraging listeners to subscribe through March Madness.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contests for Week 10. NFL Week 10 brought the trio of Munaf Manji, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers together once again on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview to dissect contest standings and serve up their best bets. After Week 9’s modest 1–2 showing, optimism was high for a bounce back. Munaf opened with updates from the Circa Survivor, Circa Grandissimo, and SuperContest leaderboards: 288 eliminations last week left 1,769 Survivor entries alive, each now worth an implied $10,587, while 11 Grandissimo survivors chase over $627,000 apiece. The Circa Millions and SuperContest “top five” consensus picks continued to flounder at below 40% against the spread — a reminder that fading public favorites remains profitable. Shifting to picks, Dave “Uncle Dave” Essler led off with the Rams (+4.5) against the banged-up 49ers, citing Los Angeles’ superior defense, healthier roster, and underrated Matthew Stafford performance from their previous matchup. Mackenzie agreed, noting the Niners’ injuries and questioning San Francisco’s home-field edge in a rivalry where both fanbases travel. Munaf joined the chorus, backing the Rams and highlighting Stafford’s MVP-caliber form. Mackenzie’s own Week 10 best bet landed on the Denver Broncos (-9) over a weary Raiders squad that had just played a 70-minute overtime thriller. His trend-based handicap pointed to 31 ATS losers in 41 similar short-week, post-OT situations, and he praised Bo Nix’s steady climb to mid-tier quarterback status behind Denver’s elite line play and defense. Dave and Munaf concurred, calling it a bad situational spot for Las Vegas and predicting a double-digit Denver win. Munaf’s best bet was Detroit (-7.5) over Washington, framing it as a “get-right” opportunity after the Lions’ stumble versus Minnesota, with Jared Goff’s balanced offense poised to torch a Commanders defense that has surrendered 25+ points in four straight. Both co-hosts agreed, pointing to Washington’s injuries and lost season. For Survivor contests, the panel leaned Denver, Detroit, and Pittsburgh as safe Week 10 options. Dave endorsed the underdog Steelers (+3) against the Chargers, citing Mike Tomlin’s historic ATS success, while Mackenzie doubled down on Denver for his own Survivor pick. Wrapping up, Munaf reminded listeners of Pregame’s new College Basketball Contest (with $1,000 in potential prizes) and the “RUSHING50” promo for discounted football subscriptions. The crew signed off with their usual banter about Twitter bans and contest momentum, confident Week 10’s sharper reads — Rams grit, Broncos’ altitude edge, Lions’ rebound — would set a winning tone heading into midseason.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for Week 10. NFL Fantasy Week 10 — Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji On Straight Outta Vegas AM, Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji tackled NFL Fantasy Week 10 with their trademark blend of humor and insight, helping listeners navigate injuries, bye weeks, and late-season playoff pushes. Both noted that 2025’s fantasy season has been one of relentless waiver-wire churn — few “every-week locks” have survived the chaos. With heavy-hitting teams like Cincinnati, Dallas, Kansas City, and Tennessee on bye, depth and creativity became crucial. The pair opened with Thursday Night Football, a Raiders–Broncos matchup featuring Bo Nix’s steady rise and Denver’s surprising 7–2 record. Munaf acknowledged skepticism around the Broncos’ legitimacy but credited Sean Payton’s efficient offense and fierce defense. Both agreed Denver should prevail, with Rod eyeing Brock Bowers’ receiving props after a 12-catch, 127-yard, three-TD explosion in Week 9. They recommended overs on Bowers’ yardage and Bo Nix’s passing touchdowns, while warning that the -9.5 spread favored Denver but carried backdoor risk. Shifting to fantasy strategy, the hosts spotlighted waiver finds: Raiders WR Trey Tucker as a sneaky pickup post-Jacoby Meyers trade, and Denver’s emerging rookie WR Troy Franklin, now seeing nearly 80% of snaps with Marvin Mims sidelined. In the Broncos’ backfield, RJ Harvey’s steady PPR output — three straight games with touchdowns — made him a dependable flex despite J.K. Dobbins’ presence. Munaf also liked Loveland as a Bears tight end streamer after a breakout 118-yard, two-TD game, while Rod shared frustration from benching him last week. They debated running back Monongah’s outlook if DeAndre Swift remained sidelined, with Rod leaning Carolina WR Ted McMillan for stability and Munaf favoring Monongah’s upside versus New York’s soft run defense. Other flex calls included Dalton Schultz over Parker Washington in a Texans–Jaguars tilt due to Schultz’s chemistry with Davis Mills, and Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. over Purdue RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., citing Fannin’s red-zone role and Cleveland’s lack of receiving depth. They closed with deeper debates — Juwan Jennings vs. Khalil Shakir (edge to Jennings amid 49ers injuries) and backup QB rankings, where both chose Sam Darnold over Daniel Jones, Stafford, and Jacoby Brissett for Week 10. Munaf finished with promo plugs for Pregame’s contests and reminded listeners to use “RUSHING50” for discounted season picks. The show wrapped on optimism: fantasy managers who stayed alert, exploited matchups, and trusted players like Bowers, Franklin, or Harvey could find themselves solidly in the playoff hunt entering Week 11.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 10 Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera open their Week 10 NFL Survivor discussion, reflecting on surviving Week 9 with the Rams and noting they’re halfway through the season. Mackenzie mentions recording early because they love their pick this week, while teasing Dan about the Colts’ trade for Sauce Gardner. Dan blasts the move, saying GM Chris Ballard hasn’t drafted well since 2021, calling it an overpay of two first-rounders and A.D. Mitchell for a corner, arguing the Colts haven’t earned “all-in” status and are beating only bad teams. Mackenzie agrees, noting the Colts’ veteran QB situation limits upside versus AFC powers like Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson. They pivot to Week 10 Survivor talk: Denver Broncos over the Raiders. Mackenzie cites the Broncos’ home edge, elevation, and the Raiders’ fatigue from an overtime loss, while Dan admits Bo Nix isn’t great but says the Raiders are worse. They recall the 2021 Survivor heartbreak with Buffalo losing to Urban Meyer’s Jaguars and justify being more aggressive on Thursday games. Dan worries about Broncos defensive injuries but predicts a 28-14 or 28-20 win, saying the Raiders have hit their floor. Mackenzie adds data: road teams after overtime on short rest are just 4-10 ATS since 2012, making Vegas a fade. He defends Bo Nix’s improvement to mid-tier status and praises Denver’s elite defense by non-turnover metrics. They compare alternatives: Bills-Dolphins and Lions-Commanders. Dan likes Buffalo if they stay motivated post-Chiefs win but notes a possible letdown; Mackenzie calls Dolphins desperate but flawed. Both prefer the Lions against a crumbling Washington, assuming Detroit’s offensive line heals. They agree the Commanders’ defense is collapsing and the team has bottomed out, making Detroit a solid secondary choice. Next they mention Seahawks-Cardinals: Dan urges saving Seattle for Week 12 vs Tennessee but says Jacoby Brissett stabilizes Arizona; still, Seattle’s defense should handle them. Mackenzie quips about Titans being unbackable, then plugs Pregame.com’s Spartan pick with humor before joking about his “spectrum-like” delivery. They banter about that, closing with gratitude and clarity that Denver is the official pick for Week 10. Dan’s final segment looks ahead: Week 11 has few good Survivor options—Jets at Patriots on Thursday is likely best, maybe Vikings over Bears. He warns that weaker teams are cratering and the pool of trustworthy picks is shrinking. Mackenzie agrees, calling Week 11 thin outside Texans-Titans or Vikings-Bears, and they project using Seattle in Week 12. The pod wraps upbeat: “On to Week 10—Go Broncos!” and a tongue-in-cheek plug to “invest in generational wealth” via Pregame.com, maintaining their dry, witty tone and betting camaraderie throughout.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest preview for the week 45 action in the world of golf. Golf Preview Podcast: Worldwide Technology & Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships This week’s Golf Preview Podcast with host Will Doctor took listeners around the globe for twin tournaments—the PGA Tour’s Worldwide Technology Championship in Cabo and the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship—pairing sharp betting insight with a clear read on form, course fit, and odds value. Will opened with the major headline that LIV Golf will expand to 72 holes in 2026, a necessary step toward earning official world ranking points. He applauded the move but joked that LIV must “ditch the shotgun start, put their pants back on, and bump fields to 125 players” to be taken seriously. Turning to Cabo’s El Cardinal at Diamante, Will dissected wide fairways, coastal winds, and massive 8,000-square-foot greens that demand patience and putting precision on paspalum. He ran through the favorites—Ben Griffin at 13-1, J.J. Spahn at 14-1, and Siwoo Kim at 20-1—praising their ball-striking while noting putting woes make them risky pre-tournament bets. Rico Hoey and Michael Thorbjornsen earned honorable mentions for potential live plays, while Max Graceman’s length and putting prowess made him a strong lineup anchor despite inflated odds. Will’s card featured Matt Kuchar outright at 60-1 on FanDuel, citing Kuchar’s coastal pedigree, recent form, and runner-up finish at Diamante two years ago. He paired that with Max Graceman top-10 (+200) and Thorbjornsen top-10 (+275), plus a sleeper top-20 on Isaiah Salenda at +333, banking on his paspalum putting bounce-back. His lone matchup pick was David Ford over Chandler Phillips (–105), backing the rookie’s consistency off the tee and elite putting splits. In Abu Dhabi, Will spotlighted Rory McIlroy (6-1), Tommy Fleetwood (7-1), and Tyrrell Hatton (9-1) as clear threats at Yas Links, with Matt Fitzpatrick (18-1) his top outright due to sustained top-10 consistency and motivation to close the season strong. Rafa Cabrera-Bello rounded out his picks with a top-20 (+240) and long-shot outright (200-1), leaning on course history and renewed confidence with the putter. Will closed by promoting Pregame’s EAGLE20 discount code and teasing next week’s Bermuda and Dubai finales. With humor, precision, and elite statistical depth, the podcast offered a comprehensive blueprint for golf bettors navigating late-season chaos—smart, fast, and perfectly dialed in to the global game.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football and Monday Night Football. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 9, starting with Seattle’s 28-0 first-half dominance over Washington behind Sam Darnold’s near-perfect performance and Jackson Smith-Njigba’s 129-yard night. They discuss NFC West odds, Seattle’s legitimacy, and Darnold’s resurgence replacing DK Metcalf with new depth. The Commanders regress toward mediocrity while Jaden Daniels’ arm injury raises concern. Survivor pool chaos sees major eliminations with the Packers’ and Lions’ upsets, while Rams and Chargers deliver wins. In betting markets, downgrades hit Houston (due to C.J. Stroud’s possible injury), Green Bay after a shocking loss to Carolina, and Indianapolis after six turnovers against Pittsburgh, while the Chargers drop slightly with another lineman injury. Upgrades go to the Panthers, buoyed by Bryce Young’s steadiness and Rico Dowdle’s run game; the Vikings after upsetting Detroit behind J.J. McCarthy; and the Steelers’ steady improvement. The Bills’ win over Kansas City restores faith, though the Chiefs still own them in the playoffs, while Josh Allen edges into MVP favorite status despite Matthew Stafford’s impressive season and 17 TDs. The conversation shifts to Stafford’s elite play, Rams’ contention in the NFC West, and how the MVP race could open up beyond Allen or Mahomes. They preview Monday Night Football—Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys—where Jacoby Brissett replaces injured Kyler Murray. Munaf prefers Brissett’s current form, citing his efficient recent starts (275+ yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) and the Cowboys’ leaky defense, predicting a high-scoring shootout. Mackenzie notes the market swing from Cardinals +2.5 to +3.5 with Murray ruled out but leans to the under before conceding that both teams’ defenses point toward the over. Munaf and Mackenzie expect strong passing performances from both quarterbacks, with Brissett’s prop at 246.5 yards and Prescott’s at 266.5, supported by a trend of opposing QBs torching Dallas’ secondary. They propose a same-game parlay: both QBs 250+ yards, over 53.5 total, Cowboys -3.5, paying about +650. They plug Pregame.com’s SNAP15 promo for discounted picks and highlight Mackenzie’s NBA hot streak, encouraging listeners to grab his season-long NBA package. For best bets, Mackenzie takes the Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 over the Pacers, expecting regression for both teams, while Munaf’s top play is Brissett over 35.5 pass attempts, citing his prior games (44 and 36 attempts) and Arizona’s reliance on his arm. They close thanking listeners, teasing upcoming contest, survivor, and NBA pods, and expressing excitement for the rest of the NFL and NBA seasons. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend. Munaf Manji welcomes listeners to RJ Bell’s Dream Preview NBA podcast, joined by analyst Mackenzie Rivers. With the NBA season underway, they discuss early trends—especially the surge in scoring and betting implications. Overs are hitting 61% and home underdogs 70%, leading Munaf to ask why points per game are the highest since 1962. Mackenzie notes three-point volume is up, referees are calling more fouls—26.5 free throws per game, the most since the mid-1990s—and speculates officiating emphasis or league marketing might be behind it. He jokes about NBA manipulation theories, suggesting higher scoring could benefit new TV deals on Peacock and Amazon. Munaf counters that books will adjust totals, asking when value shifts to unders. Mackenzie replies that even during record scoring years, overs end near 50%, so patience is key. They shift to team trends: early injuries are reshaping expectations. Indiana’s backcourt absences hurt them; Giannis, Davis, and others are banged up. Mackenzie discusses upgrades and downgrades from his model—boosting Milwaukee, Utah, and San Antonio. The Spurs’ start sparks talk of Victor Wembanyama, whom they call potentially the best 21-year-old ever, already dominant on both ends and evolving like a mix of Shaq’s power and Durant’s agility. Munaf highlights the excitement and the Spurs’ best-ever 5–0 start. They turn to Philadelphia, where Tyrese Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe have shined without Embiid or Paul George. Mackenzie tempers hype, saying Embiid must still be the centerpiece if they hope to contend. Despite that, the Sixers are upgraded and now third favorite in the East, though he keeps Boston slightly ahead. They discuss whether Paul George’s $51M salary should be moved or reintegrated, agreeing his best value remains in Philly if healthy. The East looks open, with the Knicks, Cavs, and Sixers as true contenders. Moving west, Mackenzie praises Denver’s load management strategy with Jokic’s reduced shot volume, calling it sustainable, and shares anecdotes about trust in coach David Adelman. For betting picks, Munaf and Mackenzie analyze upcoming matchups: Rockets vs. Celtics, where Mackenzie favors Houston as a small road favorite, seeing depth and efficiency improving despite early defensive lapses; Mavericks vs. Pistons in Mexico City, where Mackenzie leans Detroit due to stability and Dallas’s guard uncertainty without Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis; and Orlando vs. Washington, where Munaf’s best bet is Magic team total over 122.5, citing Washington’s poor defense and Orlando’s improving offense. Mackenzie’s best bet is Jazz +3 vs. Suns, arguing Utah’s underrated start and Phoenix’s inconsistency make the line mispriced. They close with Pregame.com promos—the Beat Dave Esler NBA contest with up to $1,000 in prizes and a TREAT15 code for discounts—and encourage listeners to subscribe, support, and check Mackenzie’s NBA model picks. Mackenzie jokes about his rough Octobers but strong finishes, promising better results as data builds. Munaf signs off wishing everyone luck cashing tickets and a great basketball weekend.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down NFL Week 9 fantasy football. The guys also preview Thursday Night football Ravens at Dolphins Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji — Week 9 Fantasy Focus Week 9 arrives with playoff hopes on the line and the fantasy margins thinner than ever. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji dig into the chaos of byes, injuries, and the Thursday night clash between Baltimore and Miami. The Ravens finally welcome Lamar Jackson back, and his presence reshapes both the offense and the week’s fantasy outlook. Derrick Henry looks revitalized and ready to punish a Miami defense that’s struggled to stop the run despite holding Bijan Robinson in check. The expectation is a heavy dose of ground dominance mixed with Lamar’s creative spark. Baltimore sits near a touchdown favorite, and while Miami’s coming off a shock win over Atlanta, this feels like a classic correction spot. Fantasy managers are weighing trust: Rashod Bateman, quiet for most of the year, gets another chance with Lamar at full strength; Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell become late-game upside plays. For the Dolphins, Malik Washington remains a sneaky target option as volume keeps him fantasy relevant. Beyond Thursday, Rod and Munaf circle the season’s pivot points — players who can define playoff pushes. Woody Marks has quietly turned into a reliable producer in Houston, blending rushing and receiving work in double-digit weeks. Travis Hunter’s breakout for Jacksonville was dazzling but risky to repeat. Taj Spears continues to carve into Tony Pollard’s usage in Tennessee, proving that efficiency and timing matter more than depth-chart labels. Christian Watson’s return instantly boosts Green Bay’s vertical threat, while emerging names like Troy Franklin and Bam Knight headline deep-league wish lists. As Rod notes, it’s the stretch when every decision can tilt an entire season. Start confidence matters more than ceiling projections; knowing when to trust floor plays can separate contenders from dreamers. For Munaf, the metrics say Baltimore’s offense explodes and Henry hits the over on both rushing attempts and yards. For Rod, the flex debate dominates the week — Bateman’s boom potential versus Washington’s steady volume. The conclusion is the same: keep the lineup flexible, trust usage over hype, and ride the matchups that feel sustainable, not just exciting. Week 9 rewards those who read momentum rather than panic over one bad week. With Lamar’s return and fantasy teams clawing for playoff life, Thursday night sets the tone for a make-or-break stretch across the league. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers dive into NFL Week 9 contest picks and more. Munaf Manji, Dave Essler & Mackenzie Rivers — Week 9 Contest Breakdown The contest crew returns for Week 9 with sharp eyes on survival, spreads, and smart positioning as the season reaches its midpoint. Munaf Manji opens by unpacking a week of upsets that shredded Survivor pools and exposed pretenders. The Texans’ stunning dominance over San Francisco flipped perceptions, and now Munaf, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers each see opportunity in Houston’s steady rise. C.J. Stroud’s poise, D’Amico Ryans’ structure, and a defense ranked first in scoring make the Texans a favorite against Denver, a team still living off early-season luck. Dave likes Houston outright, pointing to strength of schedule and balance; Mack applauds how Stroud shredded the Niners with short precision throws while controlling tempo for half the game. Munaf agrees — the Texans are playoff material if health holds. Mack then turns to the Colts, laying a field goal in Pittsburgh. The data says Indianapolis is top-six in offensive efficiency while the Steelers sit near the league’s bottom ten. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor form a one-two punch under Shane Steichen that keeps defenses off balance. Dave concedes he tried to fade the Colts but can’t find a reason, betting their team total over and calling Taylor’s MVP candidacy legitimate. The panel converges on one Thursday night lock: Baltimore over Miami. Lamar Jackson’s return, Derek Henry’s resurgence, and a rested defense push Munaf to lay seven and a half, expecting a 10-point Ravens win. Dave hesitates but acknowledges Miami’s soft run defense and Baltimore’s health edge. Mack backs it with logic — Thursday road favorites win when the talent gap’s wide, and this gap feels enormous. Contest talk shifts to Survivor. Last week’s carnage cut Circa’s field in half, and this week the big chalk lies with the Lions and Rams. Dave takes Detroit, trusting Jared Goff’s efficiency and a post-bye edge against an overmatched Minnesota team. Munaf lists backups: Rams over the Saints and Packers over Carolina. Mack, managing a live ticket with Dan Rivera, leans Rams, citing quarterback mismatches as the week’s safest survival path. As the show closes, they riff on Vegas math, underdog psychology, and how every “easy” pick hides danger. Contest life is about patience — protect value, trust quarterback-coach pairings, and don’t chase emotion. For Munaf, Houston’s rise and Baltimore’s revival headline a week that reminds everyone why November separates contenders from the rest: preparation beats chaos, and surviving another Sunday might be the biggest win of all.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk all this sports and NFL Week 8. The guys also discuss Monday Night Football. he SOVAM Weekend Rewind Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers covered NFL Week 8, previewing Monday Night Football between the Commanders and Chiefs while recapping Sunday Night Football where Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers beat the Steelers 35-25, improving to 5-1-1 as Love threw for 360 yards and 3 TDs with Tucker Kraft dominating tight-end day. They discussed the Steelers’ defensive issues, Rodgers’s average play, and Tomlin’s streak of mediocrity possibly ending with a sub-.500 season. Rivers predicted an 8-9 finish, noting upcoming tough games versus the Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Bears, Bills, Ravens, Dolphins and Lions, while debating AFC North parity as the Ravens regained control. They shifted to survivor-pool carnage where half the field was eliminated after losses by Atlanta and Cincinnati; Colts backers advanced thanks to Jonathan Taylor’s MVP-caliber performance. Munaf mocked the Bengals’ 39-point home loss to the Jets and noted Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury. Market-mover talk highlighted the Vikings’ downgrade after JJ McCarthy’s return, with debate on whether he or Carson Wentz deserved to start; the Saints’ decline after a 3-point game vs the Bucs; and the Falcons slipping while the Patriots, Texans, Broncos, and Chargers were upgraded. Rivers praised D’Amico Ryans and C.J. Stroud for outcoaching the 49ers as Houston’s balanced offense impressed despite missing Nico Collins. They agreed the Texans’ defense and Stroud’s consistency could make them a dark horse, while the Chargers’ road dominance and Titans’ late-game passing props (Cam Ward overs) offered betting value. They lamented a dull Week 8 where favorites went 10-2 ATS and most games were blowouts. For Monday Night Football, they liked Washington +10.5, arguing Marcus Mariota’s mobility could keep it close, with Mahomes now MVP favorite but Kansas City poor ATS as double-digit favorites. They built a same-game parlay: Commanders +10.5, Mariota anytime TD (+370), and Mariota over 234.5 combined yards for +950 odds. Discussion ended with AFC threats to Kansas City—Rivers ranked Bills, Colts, Broncos, and Patriots behind the Chiefs—while Munaf agreed the Colts’ Week 12 matchup at Arrowhead would prove their legitimacy. They closed with best bets: Rivers’s same-game parlay (+950) and Munaf’s Mariota rushing over 29.5 yards, then promoted pregame.com’s Jump 25 code (25% off NBA and college basketball packages, $431 NBA or $656 combo). Rivers admitted his NBA season started 1-5 but promised a rebound citing positive line value and encouraged followers to buy low; he also mentioned his Twitter hack and warned against Bitcoin scams. They closed by teasing contest, survivor, and NBA pods later in the week as the NFL season crossed its halfway point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk all things NFL Survivor contest. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera – NFL Week 8 Survivor Talk Mackenzie and Dan survived Week 7 with the Chiefs and eye Week 8’s board. The Colts, now 14.5-point favorites over the Titans, are their top Survivor pick. Titans fired their coach, briefly rallied, but collapsed; Colts keep rolling with an elite offense. Mackenzie urges optimism with caution—weak early schedule, shaky secondary. Dan agrees: they’ve beaten bad teams, but execution and coaching have turned Daniel Jones into a top-12 QB caliber player. True tests come soon vs. Jags, Texans, Chiefs, Seattle, and San Francisco. Still, Indy looks like the AFC’s second-best team behind Kansas City. Mackenzie cites non-turnover EPA metrics: Colts’ offense ranks No. 1, defense 21st; Chiefs No. 4 offense, No. 9 defense; Cowboys surprisingly No. 2 offense despite awful defense. Chiefs remain favorites by pedigree more than dominance. Dak Prescott (20-1) could sneak into MVP talks if Dallas stays hot. Balanced teams like Rams (1st defense, 7th offense), Seahawks, and Lions round out the top 10. Mackenzie says the Colts’ scoring power makes them legit contenders if they sustain efficiency. On Chiefs-Commanders, Dan warns: don’t burn Kansas City now—you’ll need them for Thanksgiving week. Mariota can replicate 85-90% of Daniels’s offense; Chiefs should win, but beware overconfidence. Mackenzie calls it a one-score game—Mariota’s capable, market overreacted to QB switch. Next tier: Falcons (-7.5) vs. Dolphins—Dan expects Bijan and London to thrive; Dolphins fading fast. Mackenzie agrees: Atlanta safe for parlays, but Colts remain primary. Eagles-Giants? Dan’s cautious; health and effort issues make Philly unpredictable. Bills-Panthers? Both advise a pass—Buffalo’s defense thin, Allen regressing. Patriots-Browns? Another pass; New England solid but inconsistent. Their Survivor track record: Steelers, Ravens, Bills, Texans, Lions, Packers, Chiefs—strong slate, no major regrets. They plan to ride Colts this week, holding Patriots, Niners, Broncos, Eagles, Bucs, Seahawks, and Rams for later. Bengals-Jets earns debate: Dan sees Cincy improving, Jets lifeless without stars; Mackenzie warns both are bad—avoid betting terrible teams. Final thoughts: under on combined wins for Raiders, Titans, Jets—about 4.5 total. Mackenzie closes: Colts are the official Survivor pick; strong offense, manageable risk. Promo code SAC20 for $20 off at Pregame.com—better value than sweating the Jets. Week 8 verdict: Colts to survive and advance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Week 8 fantasy football. The guys also preview TNF Vikings at Chargers. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji open their Week 8 fantasy football podcast on Straight Outta Vegas AM reflecting on the season’s midpoint, recent fantasy highs, and successful betting calls from the prior week. They preview Thursday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, debating both sides’ quarterback uncertainty—Carson Wentz starting while J.J. McCarthy heals—and the Chargers’ inconsistency under Justin Herbert. Both favor the Chargers at roughly -3, leaning over 44.5 total points, expecting a potentially high-scoring matchup. They analyze fantasy angles: Wentz’s passing volume, Justin Jefferson’s steady yardage but reduced touchdowns, Jordan Addison’s emergence, and Keenan Allen’s revived reliability for Los Angeles. Munaf suggests live-betting Wentz’s passing props and targeting overs on Jefferson and Herbert, while Rod backs Addison’s over 54.5 receiving yards and Allen’s 80.5 as safe plays. Discussion shifts to the Chargers’ struggling backfield amid Hassan Haskins’ injury and Herbert’s reliance on passing; both agree Jordan Mason should remain the Vikings’ RB1 even with Aaron Jones possibly returning. They emphasize benching Quentin Johnston due to target decline and highlight rookie tight end Aranda Gaston Munoz as a strong fantasy pickup after 164 yards and a touchdown, available in most leagues. Transitioning to fantasy flex debates, they recommend DeAndre Swift over Rhamondre Stevenson against Baltimore’s softer rush defense, Hollywood Brown over Marvin Mims thanks to consistent red-zone usage from Mahomes, and Devonta Smith over Rome Odunze given Smith’s rising targets with Hurts airing it out. They pick Deebo Samuel over Sterling Shepard, citing Samuel’s explosiveness versus Shepard’s shallow routes, and suggest Tamir Dyke as a sleeper WR if Calvin Ridley remains sidelined for Tennessee. Munaf projects a pass-heavy Titans game script behind Cam Ward, while Rod turns to running backs, backing Chicago’s Kyle Monangai as a sneaky play over Nick Chubb, who’s losing work to Woody Marks behind Houston’s poor O-line. They close noting San Francisco’s elite run defense and the Texans’ bleak rushing outlook, agreeing Chubb may be droppable. Wrapping up, they highlight Pregame’s NBA “Beat Dave Esler” contest, a $1,000 prize opportunity, and the “Touchdown20” promo for football all-access packages. Both hosts thank listeners, stress the fantasy season’s tightening playoff race, and promise more betting and roster advice in next week’s show, mixing friendly rivalry, humor, and practical fantasy takeaways for Week 8 managers aiming to stay profitable and playoff-bound.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler discuss NFL Week 8 contest selections. Munaf Manji hosts the NFL Week 8 Contest Podcast on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview with Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler, discussing ATS and Survivor contest picks. Munaf opens by reviewing Week 7 results: 204 Circus Survivor entries were eliminated, leaving 4,214 alive, and the top-five Circa Millions picks went 4-1. Mackenzie opens with his ATS pick, taking the Commanders +12.5 versus the Chiefs, citing overreaction to quarterback changes and favorable historical data for double-digit underdogs after losing as road favorites. Munaf agrees, saying Mariota can manage the game if turnovers are limited, while Dave supports them, noting key receivers’ returns and the Chiefs’ tough schedule ahead. Dave’s pick is the Patriots -7 versus the Browns, backing New England’s home advantage and Drake Maye’s strong play since Week 1; he cites Cleveland’s poor road record and rookie QB Dylan Gabriel’s first hostile start. Munaf expands that the Browns are 1-11 straight up and 2-10 ATS on the road, losing by double digits frequently, while Mackenzie notes past “home-after-road-trip” data is now neutral. Munaf’s pick is the 49ers +1.5 at Houston, calling it a “wrong team favored” game, criticizing the Texans’ O-line, injury issues (notably Nico Collins), and inconsistency. Mackenzie admits concern about San Francisco’s defense post-Bosa but likes their matchup versus Houston’s weak front, and Dave agrees, joining the 49ers side. They promote Pregame.com contests, including Beat Dave Esler NBA and discounts using codes “touchdown20” for football access and “NBA75” for Mackenzie’s NBA package. Transitioning to Survivor strategy, Munaf reviews Week 8’s large favorites: Patriots, Bills, Eagles, Bengals, Falcons, Ravens, Colts (-14), and Chiefs (-12.5). Dave recommends Dallas as a gutsy Survivor pick, citing Denver’s vulnerable defense and Dallas’s offensive weapons, while acknowledging risks. Munaf supports that approach, also suggesting the 49ers and Falcons as alternate Survivor plays, emphasizing the need for strategic diversification instead of burning elite teams early. Mackenzie jokes that he never picks underdogs in Survivor but recalls Fezzik’s accidental underdog win that clinched a contest. He mentions saving the Colts for Week 8, the largest favorite, while Dave argues underdogs can be valuable if used selectively. Munaf concludes that multiple entries allow experimentation with smaller favorites and strategic conservation of power teams for later weeks, reinforcing the depth of Survivor planning discussed in Mack and Dan’s dedicated Survivor Pod. The episode ends with camaraderie among the hosts—Mackenzie, Dave, and Munaf—signing off with humor about dinner and their usual “good luck with your bets” closing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for week 43 in the world of golf The Bank of Utah Championship and Genesis Championship headline this week’s action. Black Desert in Utah sits about 2–3k feet above sea level, long and tight with unforgiving lava off the fairways. Driving accuracy is key, and most picks this week are elite drivers and bentgrass putters. Maverick McNeely opened 16–1 after a T13 in Napa, strong off the tee and on greens but worth waiting for 20–1. Michael Thorbjornsen (18–1) is outright No.1 after strong iron play and T3 in Japan, same bentgrass surface. Alex Noren (22–1) has two wins in four starts, top-tier driving and putting, solid but better value expected later. Kurt Kitayama (22–1) fades due to poor accuracy and cold putter. Davis Thompson (25–1) is rolling it well lately but approach game off; watchlist only. Jason Day (28–1) returns from two months off, improving under coach Colin Swatton but wait for 40–1. Defending champ Matt McCarty (30–1) has had a strong rookie year with top finishes at Augusta, Canada, and Japan, but 30–1 too short. The matchup play is William Mao over Jesper Svensson (-115). Mao also outright No.3 (55–1) and a bentgrass ace. He’s coming off T18 at Bay Current, gained 2.5 strokes putting, and won the ISCO in July. Despite PGA Tour playoff rule injustices, Mao’s form and comfort in Utah make him a strong play. Picks to place: Aldrich Potgieter top 20 (+250) and Rico Hoey top 10 (+250). Potgieter’s rested, rebuilt swing, and bentgrass confidence set up perfectly. Hoey (also outright No.2 at 25–1) ranks 11th SG: Approach, thrives on bentgrass, and was T4 at Yokohama. Sleeper: Isaiah Salinda top 20 (4–1). After personal hardship and recent engagement, his approach numbers are trending up; strong driver and in-form with irons. DFS lineup: Thorbjornsen (10k), Hoey (9.3k), Mao (8.1k), Meisner (8k), Potgieter (7.3k), Salinda (7.1k). Best bet: Thorbjornsen top 10 (+160). For the Genesis Championship at Woojeong Hills in Korea, Hideki Matsuyama and Si Woo Kim headline, but the lone pre-tournament ticket is Sadom Kaewkanjana top 10 (5–1). The Thai pro enters with four consecutive top 10s across Asian circuits, including a win at this course (67th Korean Open). Expect him to continue hot form on familiar turf. Upcoming: DP World Tour playoffs begin with Abu Dhabi, while the PGA Tour fall wraps up with Diamante, Bermuda, and RSM.

SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 7. The guys also look at some up and downgrades and talk Monday Night Football. In the latest S&B AM Rewind Show, Mackenzie Rivers and Sleepy J break down NFL Week 7 with humor, insight, and betting angles. Mackenzie, pleased with his 49ers’ resilience, discusses their defense’s bounce back despite injuries, while Sleepy upgrades San Francisco and sees Atlanta as stagnant. They review a wild Sunday, including Denver’s massive fourth-quarter comeback over the Giants, the Packers’ late rally, and survivor pool chaos. The hosts debate the market’s treatment of the Giants versus other teams that blow leads, touching on coaching perceptions and expectations around Kyle Shanahan. They preview Green Bay at Pittsburgh, with Sleepy leaning Packers, trusting Aaron Rodgers to deliver against a tough Steelers defense. Their biggest upgrades and downgrades feature the Rams’ London win over Jacksonville and the Jaguars’ lack of discipline and penalties. Mackenzie hails the Rams as potential NFC West leaders while calling the Jaguars frauds. They credit the Bengals’ resurgence under Joe Flacco, criticize the Jets’ offensive futility, and cite the Patriots’ steady play behind Drake Maye. Both downgrade Miami after a turnover-filled loss and note Tennessee’s continued slide. Dallas earns an upgrade for offensive improvement led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, while Washington suffers a downgrade after Jaden Daniels’ injury and an offense in disarray. Mackenzie sees league-wide regression catching up to teams like Jacksonville and Washington. They promote pregame.com’s bulk dollar deals before turning to Monday Night Football, highlighting Lions-Buccaneers and Texans-Seahawks. Both favor Detroit, praising Dan Campbell’s historic ATS record and the Lions’ balance, though Sleepy warns Tampa can’t keep asking Baker Mayfield to be Superman. Mackenzie defends Mayfield’s career and notes his surprising statistical success as Cleveland’s best modern QB. The conversation turns to MVP odds: Mackenzie names Mayfield as current MVP but expects Patrick Mahomes to overtake him; Sleepy agrees, saying Mahomes offers strong betting value as Kansas City regains dominance. They discuss Sam Darnold’s 60-1 longshot odds and spotlight Seahawks rookie Jackson Smith-Njigba as a rising Offensive Player of the Year candidate. Mackenzie recalls recommending Mahomes at 4-1 weeks earlier and still sees him as the safest MVP pick. Sleepy closes with his Monday Night best bets: under 41.5 in Texans-Seahawks and Seattle -3, citing Houston’s limited offense and Seattle’s defensive strength. Mackenzie agrees, offering line-shopping advice for value bettors and closing with thanks to Sleepy for Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor entries for week 7. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera survived NFL Week 6 and move on to Week 7, glad they used the Steelers in Week 1. Dan explains 9% of the pool took the Steelers and are out, giving them equity, and he’s eyeing the Bengals led by Joe Flacco. Mackenzie jokes about the Steelers’ mediocrity and pivots to Shohei Ohtani’s brilliance before discussing Survivor strategy: saving the Chiefs for Thanksgiving but noting the huge gap between them as 12-point favorites and other teams at seven. He leans Chiefs, disliking the Patriots’ third road game, the Broncos’ London return, and the Packers’ inconsistency. Dan warns Circa players to save the Chiefs for holiday games but agrees Kansas City likely wins unless disaster strikes. Mackenzie cites EPA metrics showing the Raiders’ offense near the bottom and backs Kansas City as the safe Survivor pick. They debate alternatives: Broncos-Giants (high variance, avoid Denver), Patriots-Titans (dead-cat bounce risk), and Packers-Cardinals (Kyler Murray uncertainty, Jordan Love’s flaws). Mackenzie thinks the Chiefs are best; Dan agrees but cautions they’ll be locked into the Eagles later. They briefly consider sharp alternatives like Seattle over Chicago, preferring Seattle’s defense. Mackenzie notes Mike McDonald’s strong road record but says New England’s reliability makes them worth saving. Both settle on the Chiefs for Week 7. Dan adds that if forced among Panthers-Jets and Dolphins-Browns, he’d lean Carolina despite low confidence. Mackenzie surprisingly picks the Dolphins, citing Cleveland’s weak offense, Joe Flacco’s departure, and Miami’s lingering effort. Both mock the Jets’ offensive line after nine sacks and joke about Madden-like stats. They close agreeing the Chiefs are the play and preview Week 8, where Dan expects to favor the Colts versus the Texans. Mackenzie notes future uncertainty with the Eagles on Thanksgiving and hopes for better Survivor paths ahead. The show ends with plugs for @DanRivera228 and @MacenRivers, promising to keep surviving through Week 7. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA action to get you ready for season tip-off. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers tip off the final preseason Dream Preview pod before the 2025-26 NBA season, reviewing win-total moves, roster news, and championship outlooks. They note minor market shifts after injuries: VanVleet’s torn ACL drops Houston slightly, LeBron’s sciatica lowers the Lakers from 48.5 to 46.5 wins, and Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year deal while Keegan Murray nurses an injury. Their power rankings open with Denver, Golden State, Houston, and Minnesota in a near tie, joined by the Cavs, Clippers, and Thunder. Munaf edges Denver over Golden State for balance and depth, while Mackenzie touts the Clippers’ underrated strength versus market skepticism. Both put Oklahoma City and Cleveland atop the league, debating whether Giannis’s future or trades could reshape the field. They agree Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards is elite yet not proven as a true championship alpha; he scores big but lacks sustained playoff efficiency. The Rockets intrigue with Kevin Durant’s arrival but lose VanVleet’s stabilizing playmaking; Amen Thompson’s defense and Reed Sheppard’s shooting are swing factors. Mackenzie fears spacing issues; Munaf sees potential if Sheppard hits threes. They finalize top fives: Thunder, Cavs, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors for Mack; Thunder, Cavs, Denver, Warriors, Knicks for Munaf. Title odds show Thunder +245, Nuggets 6-1, Cavs 7.5-1, Knicks 8.5-1, Rockets 11-1. Mack picks Thunder over Cavs; Munaf predicts Knicks emerge from the East, citing depth, health, and Brunson’s leadership, while both name Golden State the best non-Thunder Western threat. They expect Knicks-Thunder Finals (12-1 exact) with Knicks as a value play at 30-1. In division futures, they call the Cavs locks in the Central, Magic favorites in the Southeast, Bulls as a win-total over sleeper, and Thunder runaway winners in the Northwest. Spurs, led by Wembanyama’s ascendance, are their pick to challenge Houston in the Southwest; Dallas could surprise if Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis mesh. They project the Pacific race between Warriors (+185) and Clippers (+175), favoring Golden State’s health and chemistry. Discussion closes on Jonathan Kuminga’s two-year $48 M deal—potential trade chip more than core piece. Best bets: Mackenzie likes Milwaukee under 43.5 wins due to defensive decline and Giannis uncertainty; Munaf backs Memphis under 41.5 given injuries to Bane, Clark, and weak defense. They also praise Orlando’s continuity, fade Atlanta overhype, and recommend Thunder futures as the smart chalk. Closing plugs remind listeners to grab Mackenzie’s season package and enter Pregame’s Beat Dave Esler contest for $500 prizes. Both hosts sign off energized for tip-off and weekly NBA coverage ahead.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler talk NFL contests for Week 7. Munaf Manji (0:08–1:17) Munaf kicks off the Week 7 discussion noting recent contest success and previewing Survivor and ATS picks from the Westgate Super Contest. He sets expectations for stats, strategy, and a coupon for Pregame.com, introducing Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler to break down a “tricky week.” Mackenzie Rivers (1:18–1:30) Mackenzie jokes about focusing on NBA preseason but says it’s good to switch gears to “the second biggest sport in the world,” bringing humor and energy to start. Dave Essler (1:58–2:36) Dave returns from a week off, admitting Week 7 feels unpredictable—“I could flip a coin right now.” He expects several tough calls and values hearing multiple viewpoints. Munaf Manji (2:37–6:16) He reviews contest standings: in Circa Survivor, 4,418 entries remain, each worth $4,237. In the “Grandissimo,” 15 entries survive at $460K value. Munaf observes that fading the top five most-picked teams has been profitable, with Super Contest entries 11-18-1 and Circa Millions 9-21. He previews notable storylines—Vrabel vs his old team, Wentz starting against Philadelphia, and Kansas City’s double-digit spread vs Las Vegas—then hands it to Mackenzie for his pick. Mackenzie Rivers (6:17–8:35) Mackenzie cites historical data on “dead-cat-bounce” games: after a coach firing, overs hit 28 of 46 times (≈61%). He compares interim coaches to substitute teachers—“things loosen up a little.” He favors Over 42 Patriots-Titans , predicting offensive freedom under interim Mike McCoy and a tired New England defense on its third straight road game. Munaf Manji (8:35–10:34) Munaf disagrees, seeing a mismatch. He expects the Patriots to win big—“by double digits”—and calls -7 a fair line, citing better coaching and talent. He praises New England’s receiver depth and labels Tennessee’s offense inconsistent. Dave Essler (10:35–12:30) Dave counters that Tennessee’s defense “held the Raiders to 226 yards.” He warns against overvaluing New England’s wins over weak opponents and leans Titans +7, noting Cam Ward’s poor metrics but potential upside. Dave Essler (13:23–14:57) For his main pick, Dave takes Carolina Panthers over Jets , highlighting New York’s “less than 100 yards of offense” last week and Carolina’s superior third-down defense. He expects Carolina to reach 4-3 and officially end the Jets’ quarterback experiment. Munaf Manji (14:58–18:45) Munaf supports the logic, adding Bryce Young’s 10 TDs (tied 9th NFL) and possible Jets injury to Garrett Wilson. He then picks Giants +7 at Denver , citing rest from a Thursday game, momentum with Jackson Dart, and Denver’s fatigue after travel. Mackenzie Rivers (18:45–20:29) Mackenzie calls both New York bets risky, warning that bettors are “buying high” on the Giants and “selling low” on the Jets. He notes the Jets’ 3-3 ATS record and predicts Dart will regress versus Denver’s defense. Dave Essler (20:58–23:01) Dave sides mildly with Munaf, liking the Giants’ confidence and Denver’s offensive limits: “How do you hold a team to 90 yards and win by two?” He also favors the under 40.5 total. Dave Essler (32:42–34:42) Later, he picks Cleveland Browns over Dolphins for Survivor, citing Miami’s poor defense—only once allowing under 27 points—and Cleveland’s rest advantage after weeks on the road. He predicts Cleveland will hold Miami’s offense in check. Munaf Manji (34:43–37:04) Munaf agrees, saying the Dolphins “feel lost,” expecting big production from Corson Jenkins and noting trade rumors around Jalen Waddle. He lists other Survivor options—Chiefs, Packers, Steelers—but calls Cleveland the best value. Mackenzie Rivers (37:04–37:43) Mackenzie teases the Survivor Pod, admitting a dilemma: saving the Chiefs for Thanksgiving or using them now. He may pivot to Patriots or Broncos depending on risk tolerance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji get you ready for NFL Week 7 fantasy football. The guys also preview TNF Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji deliver a tightly packed Week 7 Fantasy Football preview, focusing on Thursday Night Football between the 4-1 Steelers and 2-4 Bengals. They discuss Pittsburgh’s surprising start and Cincinnati’s quarterback shake-up, as Joe Flacco replaces the injured Joe Burrow and instantly revitalizes Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins. Both hosts like the Bengals to cover +5.5 and suggest Joe Flacco over 237.5 passing yards as a prop bet, arguing that his composure and passing volume could exploit the Steelers’ shaky secondary. They note that while Pittsburgh ranks near the bottom in yards per game, they still score efficiently—making this matchup ripe for an upset. Fantasy-wise, with Calvin Austin out, Darnell Washington becomes a sneaky flex play against a Bengals defense surrendering around 66 yards and five TDs to tight ends, with his yardage prop at 23.5 and TD odds of +320. On the Bengals side, Noah Fant benefits from injuries to Mike Gesicki and Tanner Hudson, making him Flacco’s likely safety valve. Beyond Thursday, they highlight Tyler Higbee as a top tight end fill-in after Puka Nacua’s injury, preferring him over Noah Fant for volume upside. They debate DJ Moore versus David Montgomery, with Rod siding with Moore’s consistent target share and Munaf trusting Montgomery’s touchdown reliability. With injuries piling up, they suggest deeper flex options like Tampa Bay’s Tayz or Cameron Johnson stepping up amid receiver absences, while warning against chasing points from backs like Zach Charbonnet against the Texans’ stingy run defense. They also recommend Harold Fannin Jr. as a high-upside tight end streamer. Wrapping up, they plug Pregame.com’s NBA contest and promo codes, then discuss late-week matchups like Garrett Wilson’s injury impact, favoring Mason Taylor over Isaiah Davis for the Jets’ passing volume, and promoting Raiders tight end Michael Mayer as a prime pickup while Brock Bowers is out. The hosts close by encouraging listeners to engage with the show’s new format—mixing betting lines, fantasy insights, and early-week roster strategy—and promise even earlier content heading into Week 8.

Will Doctor the sharpest golf mind in the game gets you ready with all his picks for the DP World Tour Championship Will Doctor returns on Pregame’s Golf Preview Podcast to cover the DP World Tour India Championship at Delhi Golf Club, a short, tight thinker’s course demanding accuracy and elite Bermuda putting. Rory McIlroy headlines the field at +550 after his Ryder Cup appearance, while Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin, Victor Hovland, and Brian Harman follow on the odds board. Doctor candidly admits his recent slump—down 6.7 units after a rough run of misses in Japan and Spain—but aims to bounce back in India. He reviews poor picks like Eric Cole at the Bay Current, Michael Kim’s top-ten miss, and Hideki Matsuyama’s near miss on the Japanese leaderboard. Despite Christian Bezuidenhout’s top-ten and some solid form from Patrick Reed and young star Angel Ayora, Doctor’s recent cards have fallen short. In Spain, Marco Penge won, and Doctor’s outrights in the DP and Korn Ferry Tour events all missed, dropping another 11 units. Shifting focus, he outlines Delhi’s setup—tight fairways, strategic play, and little need for drivers—and identifies players with precise ball-striking and solid putting as keys to victory. McIlroy’s length gives him an edge even with fewer drivers, but Doctor is cautious given Rory’s layoff. Fleetwood at +675 is his top choice among favorites due to accuracy, sixth in strokes gained approach, and proven Bermuda success at East Lake. Griffin, despite a stellar season and two wins, has too long a layoff to back pre-tournament. Hovland, nursing a neck injury, is another fade despite elite approach stats, as Doctor avoids risk. Harman fits perfectly with his precision and prior success on Bermuda layouts but is also a pass due to recent inactivity. Doctor’s first “pick to place” is Denmark’s Jeff Winther top 20 at +260 for his accuracy and positive recent putting form, including a top-10 in India last year. His second placement pick is India’s Anirban Lahiri top 10 at +260, praising Lahiri’s form from LIV events and strong national open history despite criticizing LIV’s limited fields. For outrights, Doctor backs Fleetwood to win at +675, Ayora at 30-1 after consecutive top-tens and improving putting, and Joel Girrbach at 120-1 as a sleeper with renewed iron play and putting confidence after a solo third in Madrid. He offers a football promo—code DRINK20 for $20 off an all-access package—before revealing his sleeper, Jeong Weon Ko top 10 at 12-1, citing his success in India and strong ball-striking. His best bet is Ayora top 10 at +225 on MGM, expecting the Spanish prodigy to contend again. Doctor concludes optimistic about finding form in Delhi, emphasizing control off the tee, confident approach play, and putting consistency on Bermuda as the key to cashing in.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday and Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down the MLB Championship Series games for Tuesday and Wednesday on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview. They recap Game 1 between the Dodgers and Brewers, where Blake Snell was dominant but pulled too early, and discuss the managerial trend of overthinking bullpen decisions in the postseason. Griffin criticizes Dave Roberts’ handling of the Dodgers bullpen, noting that despite their success, Los Angeles has been winning close games without consistent offense. Both hosts debate the Dodgers’ chances as Yoshinobu Yamamoto faces Freddy Peralta in Game 2, emphasizing Peralta’s home dominance and the potential for an offensive breakout. They agree there’s betting value on the Brewers as home underdogs and favor the over with totals moving toward 7.5. Transitioning to series prices, they note the Dodgers at –425 after Game 1, with Munaf suggesting it might be better to bet Milwaukee in Game 2 rather than the full series. They then preview the ALCS, where Seattle leads Toronto 2–0 heading home. Griffin praises Seattle’s pitching depth and timely hitting, while Munaf highlights George Kirby’s home dominance at T-Mobile Park and Shane Bieber’s uncertainty for Toronto. They both lean Seattle at –131 and like the under, expecting a low-scoring matchup. The Mariners’ series odds of –650 signal near dominance, while Toronto’s +500 line offers little appeal. They joke about Canada’s Thanksgiving and the Blue Jays’ collapse before turning to World Series futures, noting Dodgers –105, Mariners +160, Brewers 7–1, and Blue Jays 14–1. Munaf finds value in Seattle’s odds, given their path to the Finals. Griffin’s best bet is Brewers +111 behind Peralta at home, citing Yamamoto’s vulnerability and Milwaukee’s resilience. Munaf’s best bet is Mariners –131, trusting their pitching and momentum to take a commanding 3–0 series lead. They close with promo code DIVISION99 at Pregame.com for $50 off MLB Playoffs All Access, thanking listeners and promising more analysis as the postseason heads toward the World Series.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Sunday recap and much more. Munaf Manji (0:14–1:03) opens with energy as he and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 6, focusing on the Kansas City Chiefs’ 30–17 win over the Detroit Lions. Patrick Mahomes completes 22 of 30 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns with an 81.4 QBR, while Travis Kelce leads with six receptions for 78 yards. The Chiefs’ defense dominates late, holding Jared Goff (23 of 29, 203 yards, two touchdowns) and the Lions’ injury-depleted secondary in check. Munaf notes Kansas City’s bounce back to 3–3 and the AFC West’s competitiveness. Mackenzie Rivers (3:19–4:57) praises the Chiefs’ return to form, emphasizing Mahomes’ 15–4 playoff record and calling Kansas City and Buffalo the AFC’s only true Super Bowl threats. He breaks down key performances—30 points scored, 17 allowed—and labels the Chiefs “still the team to beat.” Munaf (4:58–5:57) adds that suspended receiver Rashee Rice’s return will expand Kansas City’s options beyond Kelce, citing productive depth from Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy. Mackenzie (5:57–6:29) highlights AFC betting odds: Bills +240, Chiefs +400, Colts surprisingly third at +750. Munaf (6:30–7:39) shifts focus to Detroit, praising the Chiefs’ defensive front for decisive late stops and predicting the Lions will rebound once healthy. Mackenzie (7:40–8:53) breaks down NFC odds—Lions and Packers +425, Eagles +650—and questions if Jared Goff can lead from behind in playoff situations. Munaf (8:53–10:20) agrees Kelce’s dominance has dipped, noting rising stars like Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. Their humor keeps tone light before Munaf (10:26–11:33) reviews Circa Survivor outcomes, where most top picks advance. Mackenzie (11:41–12:15) slams the Broncos’ London win as “one of the worst performances” and declares Justin Fields’ future bleak. Rivers (12:39–13:44) identifies Week 7 market movers: Carolina Panthers upgraded to pick’em after strong showings; Steelers and Colts also improve. Munaf (13:44–16:03) highlights Carolina’s Rico Dowdle rushing for 183 yards and 56 receiving, calling it a franchise-record revenge game, while Pittsburgh rises to 4–1 to lead the AFC North. Mackenzie (16:04–16:40) details division odds—Steelers –175, Ravens +175, Bengals 20–1—and sees value on Pittsburgh. Munaf (17:15–18:16) outlines Baltimore’s injuries and offensive decline in a 17–3 loss. Mackenzie (18:30–20:02) declares the 49ers the biggest downgrade after Fred Warner’s season-ending injury, weakening their elite defense. Munaf (20:03–21:05) echoes that it’s “bad luck,” then transitions to Monday night previews. Rivers (22:59–24:27) breaks down Bills vs. Falcons, siding with Buffalo –4.5 and Josh Allen over rushing yards, calling it “a one-man show.” Munaf (24:29–27:40) agrees, expecting a bounce-back and suggesting Bills team total over. Mackenzie (27:42–28:20) leans under based on Sean McDermott’s defensive record after losses. They next assess Bears vs. Commanders. Rivers (31:12–32:50) favors Washington –5.5, praising Jayden Daniels’ improvement but noting the franchise’s poor home record. Munaf (32:51–34:37) attacks Chicago’s run defense allowing 141 yards per game, backing Commanders RB Jaquori Croskey-Merritt over 67.5 rushing yards. Both discuss a Bills–Commanders Moneyline parlay at +111 odds. Rivers’ best bet (37:08–38:58) is Bills –3.5, while Munaf doubles down on Croskey-Merritt’s prop and fading the Bears’ defense. They close (39:06–41:45) discussing Monday doubleheaders, teasing NBA season coverage, and promoting the Pregame.com FALL10 code. The recap ends with optimism—two analysts in midseason form blending data, odds, and insight into every matchup. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 6. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera recap their NFL Survivor Pool strategy following Week 5, where their Lions pick cashed but their Bills entry didn’t. They open by analyzing the Philadelphia Eagles’ unexpected loss, crediting Dan for advising against picking them due to injuries and lack of offensive identity. The pair dissect the team’s problems — a banged-up offensive line, absence of key defender Jalen Carter, and declining chemistry on both sides of the ball. Dan argues the Eagles’ coordinator is ineffective, their depth has eroded, and locker room morale appears fractured, with concerns over A.J. Brown’s happiness. Mackenzie notes Jalen Hurts’ post–players-only meeting regression, the team’s lack of cohesion, and that what once looked like a resilient contender now feels like a fraudulently strong 4–1 squad. Both conclude Philadelphia’s window of dominance may be closing fast. They shift to Survivor Week 6 planning, emphasizing that surviving and advancing outweighs saving teams for ideal spots. Mackenzie leans toward using the Green Bay Packers, 14-point favorites over the Bengals with Joe Flacco starting. Dan agrees, highlighting Green Bay’s upcoming favorable matchups versus Carolina in Week 9, comparing them to the Rams’ schedule. He prefers the Packers this week, saving the Rams for later. They analyze the Packers’ offensive form and potential risk from Jordan Love’s turnovers but agree Green Bay’s defense and motivation off a bye make them the top pick. Mackenzie supports the logic with data showing teams off a bye favored by 14+ are historically unbeaten straight up since 1989. He reviews Carolina’s schedule to justify saving the Rams, whose Week 9 home matchup versus New Orleans looks safer. The two discuss other options — Rams, Colts, Broncos, Steelers, and Raiders — but dismiss most for situational or scheduling reasons. The Rams could be dangerous if Baltimore rebounds; the Colts are better saved for Week 8; the Broncos are volatile in London versus the Jets; and the Raiders are too untrustworthy offensively. The sharp alternative is Pittsburgh, who face the Browns after a bye, holding the NFL’s largest rest advantage in years. The Steelers’ historical dominance over Cleveland (18–1 at home under Mike Tomlin) and Tomlin’s elite record versus rookie QBs make them a strong contrarian survivor play. Dan warns Pittsburgh might be needed in Week 7, but both rank them just behind Green Bay. They preview Week 7, identifying the Patriots at Titans as Dan’s “Game of the Year.” Citing coach Mike Vrabel’s revenge motivation against his former team and New England’s top-10 offense by efficiency versus Tennessee’s worst-in-league metrics, they agree it’s a must-use spot. Wrapping up, they lock in Packers for Week 6, tentatively Patriots for Week 7, and Steelers as a sharp alternative. They reject risky long shots like the Raiders or Titans, emphasizing staying disciplined with scheduling flexibility. Mackenzie signs off optimistic, confident in their survivor roadmap — Packers now, Patriots next, and eyes forward to midseason survival. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Thursday and Friday. n this episode of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview MLB podcast, hosts Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down the remaining divisional round matchups for Thursday and Friday, offering in-depth betting insights on the Phillies vs. Dodgers , Brewers vs. Cubs , and Tigers vs. Mariners series while recapping the Yankees’ elimination by the Blue Jays. They begin with the Phillies-Dodgers game, discussing the odd start time, pitching matchup between Christopher Sanchez and Tyler Glasnow , and how day-game conditions might favor Sanchez’s sinker-heavy style. Manji favors the Phillies at plus money, citing their momentum and Sanchez’s reliability, while Warner emphasizes the Dodgers’ bullpen issues and suggests the under eight runs due to potential shadow effects. Next, they analyze Milwaukee vs. Chicago , where Freddie Peralta faces Matthew Boyd . Despite both acknowledging Peralta’s road struggles, they note Milwaukee’s ability to grind at-bats and manufacture runs. Warner leans toward the Cubs as home underdogs due to Wrigley’s atmosphere, but Manji argues that Boyd’s late-season decline and Milwaukee’s consistent approach make the Brewers the better side. They agree the total of seven feels low but note that cold weather and wind could suppress offense, favoring the under slightly. A mid-show promotion invites listeners to use code DIVISION99 at Pregame.com for discounted access to Warner’s postseason picks through the World Series. The focus then shifts to Friday’s Game 5 between Detroit and Seattle , where Tarik Skubal and George Kirby headline a pitching duel. Warner questions Detroit’s favoritism given their weak lineup and bullpen, leaning toward Seattle as a value home underdog and predicting a tight, low-scoring contest under 5.5 runs. Manji agrees, noting Kirby’s home-field advantage and reliability and foresees a 3–2 type result. They then discuss the Yankees’ collapse against Toronto, praising the Blue Jays’ resilience and questioning Aaron Boone’s future amid ongoing underperformance and bloated contracts like Giancarlo Stanton’s . Warner expects Boone to stay despite criticism and speculates the Yankees might pursue Pete Alonso to strengthen their lineup. Wrapping up, Warner’s best bet is Phillies +118 behind Sanchez, while Manji stays “on brand” with Brewers -113 to clinch their series, trusting Peralta to outperform Boyd. They close by thanking listeners, promoting the SOVAM feed for future episodes, and reminding fans to use the promo code to support the show. The conversation blends sharp betting analysis, humor, and postseason enthusiasm, delivering tactical insight into pitching matchups, totals, and team momentum as the MLB playoffs edge closer to the Championship Series.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and SleepyJ talk NFL contest picks for Week 6. In the Week 6 NFL Contest Podcast on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview, host Munaf Manji is joined by Mackenzie Rivers and SleepyJ to discuss contest results, betting trends, and their top picks for the week. Munaf recaps Week 5’s Circa Millions and SuperContest outcomes, noting that fading the top five consensus picks continues to be profitable, with Circa’s most popular selections now just 7-18 on the season. Survivor contests also saw major eliminations, leaving 16 entries in the Grandissimo and about 4,600 in Circa Survivor. Mackenzie leads off the picks segment, backing the New England Patriots -3.5 over the New Orleans Saints. He argues that the Saints’ home-field advantage has declined since Drew Brees’ retirement, that turnover luck has inflated New Orleans’ metrics, and that trench mismatches favor New England. SleepyJ hesitates, seeing possible motivation for the Saints, but Munaf agrees with Mackenzie, citing the Patriots’ improving offense behind rookie quarterback Drake May and star receiver Stefon Diggs. Sleepy then takes Jacksonville -1.5 over Seattle, pointing to the Jaguars’ growing confidence, chemistry, and balanced offense under Doug Pederson and new coordinator Liam Coen. Munaf supports this pick, noting Trevor Lawrence’s progress, Travis Etienne’s resurgence, and a strong turnover-forcing defense. Mackenzie, more cautious, doubts the Jaguars’ sustainability after a turnover-fueled win but concedes they have momentum. Munaf’s own pick is the Pittsburgh Steelers -5.5 vs. the Cleveland Browns. He highlights Mike Tomlin’s 16-1 home record against Cleveland since 2008 and the situational edge of Pittsburgh off a bye against a Browns team returning from London with rookie QB Dylan Gabriel. Mackenzie and Sleepy both endorse this, citing Tomlin’s dominance versus rookie quarterbacks and the travel-rest disparity. In Survivor discussion, Sleepy favors the Colts over a depleted Cardinals team, while Munaf likes the Steelers or Packers, and Mackenzie leans toward the Eagles, citing their turnover discipline and the Giants’ weak home-field edge. The trio also plug pregame.com, offering a SCORE10 discount code, and preview their NBA coverage. They reminisce about their strong NBA podcast streaks and express excitement for the upcoming season, emphasizing analytics and collaboration. The episode ends with light banter, enthusiasm for their betting synergy, and a reminder to tune in weekly for more contest analysis and picks. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the week 41 action in the world of golf. [Will Doctor] (0:15 - 0:48) Will Doctor opens energetically, previewing Week 41 of the PGA Tour, covering the Bay Current Classic, Open de España, and Korn Ferry Tour Championship, promising sharp analysis and betting insights. [Will Doctor] (0:49 - 56:43) Doctor criticizes the Bay Current Classic’s 78-player field, calling it unfair for golfers outside the top 100. He highlights Sam Ryder (111th), Victor Perez (104th), and Adam Svensson (114th) as players hurt by the limited entry, arguing it contradicts the Fall Series’ goal of providing chances to regain PGA status. Using Steven Fisk’s win at Sanderson—jumping from 135th to 65th in FedExCup standings—as an example, he stresses that small fields “kill opportunity.” Reviewing his poor betting week (“0-for-8”), he shifts to analysis of key players. Xander Schauffele, the tournament favorite (11-1), excels in approach play but ranks just 126th from 50–125 yards; Doctor passes on him due to short-iron struggles. Collin Morikawa (18-1) ranks 15th and 5th in those same yardage ranges but continues to underperform on bentgrass greens. Hideki Matsuyama (18-1) has strong wedge stats (10th from 50–125) and elite chipping but remains inconsistent with both driver and putter. Alex Noren, with two recent DP World Tour wins, enters hot but overpriced at 22-1. Rasmus Højgaard’s recent tied-third at Sanderson shows putting improvement, though his approach play wavers. Michael Thorbjornsen’s powerful ball striking is offset by weak putting (124th). Doctor emphasizes Yokohama’s setup—“easy off the tee, tough on the greens”—rewarding wedge precision and bentgrass putting. His matchup pick: Kevin Roy (-105) over Alex Smalley, citing Roy’s wedge stats and recent top-18 finish. His top-10 play is Michael Kim (+300), fresh off a French Open win and strong approach metrics. Outright picks: Christian Bezuidenhout (50-1), praised for elite wedge play and recent top-six finish, and Eric Cole (70-1), top 15 in approach stats and historically strong in Japan. His best bet: Hideki Matsuyama to finish as top Japanese player (+210), based on superior short game and home-course comfort. Turning to the Open de España, Doctor highlights Jon Rahm, a three-time event winner, but notes recent negative approach stats. Joaquín Niemann (10-1) earns praise for consistency yet loses points for slight driving inaccuracy on Club de Campo’s narrow fairways. Shane Lowry’s improving putting—gaining 2.5 strokes at the Ryder Cup—earns him a top-10 pick (+180). Patrick Reed (25-1) is his first outright after finishing 10th last year, backed by strong course putting numbers. Ángel Iora (33-1) is the second outright, described as “peaking” with three top-10s in five starts. His sleeper is Rafa Cabrera-Bello (10-1 top-10), a past winner showing renewed form after a 66-67 finish last week. For the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, Doctor backs Ze-Chang “Marty” Dou (18-1) and Sung Tak Lee (33-1), both chasing PGA Tour cards after consistent top-10 finishes. He closes confident and analytical, blending player data, performance trends, and betting value into concise recommendations for all three tournament Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk all things weekend sports. Plus, the guys preview MNF Chiefs at Jaguars. [Munaf Manji (0:15–1:07)] Munaf opened NFL Week 5 coverage, previewing Sunday’s upsets, market shifts, and Monday’s Chiefs-Jaguars matchup. He promised analysis of key stats, bets, and survivor-pool fallout with co-host Mackenzie Rivers. [Mackenzie Rivers (1:07–1:11)] Mackenzie called it “a day of surprises,” setting the tone for an unpredictable weekend. [Munaf Manji (1:12–2:59)] He highlighted New England’s 23-20 win over Buffalo, crediting its defense for allowing only three first-half points and praising rookie Drake May (22-of-30, 273 yards, 0 INTs). Stefon Diggs torched his old team (10 catches, 146 yards), showing execution over flash. [Mackenzie Rivers (3:00–5:00)] Mackenzie analyzed May’s precision—few incompletions in recent games and a top-10 QBR ahead of Caleb Williams. He argued May “is just good,” projecting him to rival Herbert and Mahomes while Allen’s turnover proved costly. [Munaf Manji (5:01–7:33)] Munaf noted both teams averaged 6.0 yards per play, but turnovers (+2 Patriots) decided it. He turned to Denver’s upset of Philadelphia, citing the Eagles’ fifth straight week being outgained—first since 1987 for a champion—and criticized abandoning Saquon Barkley’s run game. [Mackenzie Rivers (7:34–8:56)] Mackenzie said Philly’s metrics justify Vegas dropping them to third favorite (+425). Poor 3rd-down rates (2-for-11) and penalties show the same flaws, not bad luck. [Munaf Manji (8:57–12:01)] He recapped Circa Survivor chaos: Rams and Cardinals losses eliminated over 6,600 entries, costing $2 million in value. [Mackenzie Rivers (12:02–15:02)] Mackenzie called the Cardinals’ collapse a “top-11 worst loss since 2018,” blaming officiating on Demercado’s goal-line call and saying the Kyler Murray era is ending as rookie Cam Ward rose. He warned against betting the Rams vs Shanahan, a historically tight matchup. [Munaf Manji (15:02–17:55)] He praised Ward (21-of-39, 265 yds) and Ridley (131 yds) in Tennessee’s comeback, then shifted to market moves: Colts up +1 after a 40-6 win behind Jonathan Taylor’s three TDs (17-66), Cardinals -1. [Mackenzie Rivers (17:55–20:59)] He added minor upgrades for Denver, Tampa Bay, and Washington, downgrades for Buffalo, Jets, and Bengals, showing a tight market. [Munaf Manji (21:00–23:27)] Previewing Monday night, he noted Kansas City (-3.5) vs Jacksonville; Mahomes regains weapon Xavier Worthy (83 receiving, 38 rushing yards). Jags forced multiple INTs each game. [Mackenzie Rivers (22:20–23:27)] He stayed neutral but liked a “fun bet” on Mahomes for MVP at 4-1. [Munaf Manji (23:28–26:14)] Munaf took Jags +3.5 and framed their defense as turnover-driven (8 INTs in 4 games). [Mackenzie Rivers (26:15–27:11)] He leaned Over 45.5, citing KC’s 37-point form and Jacksonville’s drop-plagued offense inflating totals. [Munaf Manji (27:11–28:17)] He reported Worthy’s ankle swelling but active status; Mahomes leads KC rushing (130 yds vs Pacheco’s 127). [Mackenzie Rivers (28:17–28:30)] He liked Mahomes rushing over 22.5 yards. [Munaf Manji (28:31–31:18)] Munaf predicted Worthy could top 55.5 receiving in two catches and urged combining rushing and receiving overs. He plugged Pregame.com and the upcoming NBA season. [Mackenzie Rivers (31:19–35:16)] He boasted a 57% NBA career record and playfully urged fans to buy his package, crediting data tools for model improvements. [Munaf Manji (35:17–36:38)] Munaf closed by promoting their NBA and football shows and signed off with enthusiasm for Monday night football. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rid Villagomez and Munaf Manji get you ready for fantasy football nfl week 4. Rod Villagomez (0:05–0:41) kicks off Week 4 noting Seattle’s comeback win over Arizona but warns few fantasy points were scored: “Not a lot of people… are going to wake up… in the hole.” Munaf Manji (0:42–1:57) focuses on Jackson Smith-Njigba’s quiet first half before rebounding, stressing confidence issues, while Marvin Harrison Jr.’s touchdown signaled rookie impact. Rod (1:57–2:31) highlights Jason Myers’ 13 fantasy points, quipping, “Even your kicker got you more points than Kenneth Walker,” showing the volatility of fantasy scoring. Injuries dominate early talk: Washington loses Jaden Daniels and Terry McLaurin, pushing Deebo Samuel’s stock higher with 16 catches, 132 yards, and 1 TD. Luke McCaffrey (4 receptions, 75 yards, 1 TD) and Zach Ertz gain relevance. Munaf (3:53–5:32) suggests Chris Rodriguez or Jeremy McNichols as deep flex options but doubts Marcus Mariota. Rod (5:32–7:08) confirms McNichols’ 103 yards on 8 carries makes him the real threat if J.C.M. sits. Carolina’s Xavier Legette is out, opening space for Hunter Renfrow, who scored twice in Week 2 yet is rostered in under 5%. Munaf (7:58–8:53) notes Tett McMillan as the true alpha, 90%+ rostered. Tampa Bay misses Mike Evans, but Rod (8:53–12:55) crowns rookie Buka as the new leader. Munaf (10:01–11:07) questions Chris Godwin’s return value, instead calling Sterling Shepard a sneaky play with 103 yards and 11 receptions. Devante Adams’ hamstring worries Munaf (12:56–14:09), predicting he may sit with Nakua the only safe Rams WR. Rod (14:10–15:35) cautions against backups, citing Nakua’s 35 targets and Adams’ 29 versus Kyren Williams’ 7. Munaf (15:35–16:34) reveals his QB dilemma, stuck with Baker Mayfield, considering Stafford, Geno, Mariota, Caleb Williams, Daniel Jones, Flacco. Rod (16:35–18:02) insists Daniel Jones is the pick, praising consistent output. Munaf agrees, stacking him with Michael Pittman. Flex debates follow: Xavier Worthy vs. Keon Coleman—both agree Worthy’s upside is higher, rankings 77th vs. 85th. Trey Tucker vs. Basial Tutin—Rod pushes Tucker’s 211 yards and 4 TDs, Munaf concurs, citing his 145-yard, 3-TD eruption. Jake Ferguson vs. Tyler Warren—Munaf favors Ferguson, 14 targets after CeeDee Lamb’s injury, with Rod agreeing. Jerry Jeudy vs. Tee Higgins—Rod sides with Jeudy’s steadier usage, Munaf argues Higgins could benefit if defenses double Chase. Zach Ertz vs. TJ Hockenson—Munaf backs Ertz due to Washington’s injuries and Mariota’s TE preference, Rod hopes for the same. Travion Henderson vs. Matthew Golden—Rod leans Henderson, pointing to Stevenson’s struggles, while Munaf quotes Golden: “Whenever I get the opportunity, I’m going to take off with it,” picking him for breakout potential. DFS lineup construction lands on Daniel Jones, James Cook, Jonathan Taylor, Nico Collins, Quentin Johnston, Sterling Shepard, Hunter Henry, Cam Scadaboo, and Texans DST, combining value and ceiling. Rod praises Taylor’s 27 fantasy points per game, while Munaf notes Scadaboo hype but cautions it’s only one big game. They close urging adaptability: “You have to ride the injuries, ride the hot streaks,” and promote pregame.com offers with PASS20.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor contest entries for week 4. [Mackenzie Rivers] (0:13-1:00) admitted last week’s Falcons pick was disastrous: “we lost 30 to zero,” stressing accountability since their calls sway survivor pool players. [Dan Rivera] (1:00-2:57) took blame, calling it “bad handicapping” and criticizing Michael Penix’s “sloppy mechanics” after missed field goals and a pick-six doomed Atlanta. He noted Bryce Young still “didn’t look good” but Carolina capitalized. [Mackenzie Rivers] (2:57-5:54) moved to analytics, showing Penix ranked 26th in their PFF/QBR composite, near Russell Wilson, while Bryce Young was 22nd and Caleb Williams 11th. He noted Buffalo averages 34 points per game, +10 margin, making them heavy favorites over New Orleans, but survivor rules barred reuse. [Dan Rivera] (5:54-7:44) confirmed, warning big favorites can still collapse, citing Buffalo’s past upset. [Mackenzie Rivers] (7:45-9:16) pivoted to Detroit as 10-point favorites against Cleveland, praising their rout of Baltimore but questioning if the Browns’ defense posed risk. [Dan Rivera] (9:16-12:19) dismissed Cleveland’s offense as “abysmal,” blaming Jordan Love’s “WTF throws” for Green Bay’s collapse, predicting Detroit would pull away late. [Mackenzie Rivers] (12:20-17:23) cited EPA metrics placing Detroit 5th (+28) versus Cleveland 22nd, adding survivor data: underdogs who win then dog again lose 70 of 74 times since 2012, usually by 15 points. He concluded the Lions “are a machine.” [Dan Rivera] (17:24-19:27) projected a 31-10 Detroit win, confirming them as the best multiple-entry play. [Mackenzie Rivers] (19:27-20:02) raised Denver as a 7.5-point favorite, but [Dan Rivera] (20:02-22:05) flagged Bo Nix’s poor form, ranked 29th, making him wary. [Mackenzie Rivers] (22:06-23:49) emphasized that betting on weak quarterbacks risks disaster. [Dan Rivera] (23:51-26:08) then turned to Houston as -7 favorites over Tennessee, declaring “Texans are essentially a must-win game” despite CJ Stroud’s struggles, arguing Tennessee’s inept offense makes this their best survivor spot. [Mackenzie Rivers] (26:09-29:39) agreed, stressing math requires using weaker teams eventually, and low totals boost Houston’s edge. [Dan Rivera] (29:39-32:40) examined Green Bay vs Dallas, forecasting a rebound, calling it “my number one regular entry” though suggesting splitting pools. [Mackenzie Rivers] (32:40-34:39) supported, saying Packers’ trend lines up well. [Dan Rivera] (34:40-36:46) dismissed the Chargers due to Jackson Dart’s variance. [Mackenzie Rivers] (36:46-38:18) summarized safe choices as Texans, Packers, Lions. [Dan Rivera] (38:19-42:45) finalized: Lions in multiple-entry, Texans and Packers split, urging single-entry players to “get off that Texans train now.” [Mackenzie Rivers] (42:45-43:15) closed, reminding if you still had Buffalo, “use the Bills,” otherwise survivor week four is about Lions, Packers, and Texans.

Will Doctor gets you ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black this week. Will covers every golfer in the field for the Americans and Europeans. Will dives deep into who and what he thinks is the best strategy for your betting approach. Will Doctor (0:15 - 0:28) opened the show welcoming listeners with energy and promising sharp Ryder Cup insights. Will Doctor (0:33 - 55:37) recapped the fiery ceremonies, noting Luke Donald’s criticism of U.S. systems, Keegan Bradley’s Farmingdale roots, and Kathy Hochul’s repeated boos. He framed the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black as electric and immediately criticized the U.S. for starting with alternate shot, pointing out Europe’s 51–37 advantage in that format since 2002 and calling the decision “an act of insanity.” He explained the point structure—28 total, Europe needs 14 to retain, U.S. 14.5 to win back—and emphasized Europe’s chemistry, with 11 of 12 returning from 2023, compared to a U.S. side rusty after limited recent play. He highlighted the strength of the American roster with Scheffler, Henley, Schauffele, and Thomas but reminded listeners that past U.S. teams with world number ones still lost. Missing veterans like Spieth and Koepka left the squad without seasoned leaders. On Bethpage, he called it a “1936 masterpiece” demanding precision, but said rain-softened conditions and trimmed rough may neutralize its difficulty. On players, Scheffler was praised as “the best long iron player in the game,” likely paired with Henley. J.J. Spaun was credited for elite irons and big-moment poise. Schauffele’s experience (14-8-0) was countered by wild driving, while Henley’s consistency made him invaluable despite lacking distance. Harris English’s poor irons raised doubts, while DeChambeau was seen as a potential difference-maker if paired with a “marksman” like Spaun or Griffin rather than Thomas, whose ball striking woes made him “statistically the worst player on this American team.” Morikawa’s poor prep suggested limited use, while rookies Griffin and Cameron Young were urged as sparks, with Young called the “hometown kid” who should be unleashed early. Cantlay’s 15-6-1 team record earned a call to play every session, and Burns’s putting strength positioned him as a best-ball asset. On Europe, McIlroy was expected to thrive on softened fairways and pair again with Fleetwood, whose form and partnership history made him a projected star. McIntyre was labeled a weak link due to shaky ball striking, while Rose was respected for veteran leadership but doubted for heavy use. Rasmus Højgaard was called a “sneaky weapon” in four-ball, Hatton reliable in foursomes with Rahm but risky in singles, and Lowry and Straka limited by putting and approach struggles. In contrast, Åberg and Hovland were described as statistical machines, with Hovland “a major problem” for the U.S. Fitzpatrick, historically poor at Ryder Cups, was forecasted to break through thanks to sharp recent form. Rahm’s 6-3-3 Ryder Cup record and clutch history, including a win over Tiger in 2018, reinforced his role as Europe’s closer. Will ended without picking an outright winner, instead backing Scheffler as top U.S. scorer (+275) and Europe in foursomes (+135), citing their 7-1 domination in 2023. He concluded that softened Bethpage conditions tilt slightly toward Europe but overall make the 2025 Ryder Cup too close to call Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL contests for week 4. Munaf Manji (0:06 – 2:21) opened by welcoming listeners, recapping Week 3, and noting that Circa Survivor lost 3,154 entries with 13,811 remaining, each valued at $1,355. He emphasized that fading the top five most-selected teams has been profitable as they went 2-12-1 ATS at Westgate and 3-12 ATS at Circa, with one entry leading Circa Millions at 14-1. Sleepy J (5:45 – 8:53) chose the Titans +7 vs the Texans, saying “I think the Titans are slowly building. Cam Ward is looking a little bit better each and every game.” He highlighted Houston’s lowest points per game, Tank Dell’s absence, Mixon’s struggles, and a weak offensive line. He argued Tennessee is hungrier and capable of an outright win. Munaf (8:53 – 10:08) agreed, calling the Texans’ line inflated, citing receiver losses, Nick Chubb’s decline, and predicting a fairer line closer to six. Dave Essler (10:09 – 10:43) also agreed, calling +7 too many points, though doubting Tennessee’s ability to win outright. Mackenzie Rivers (10:52 – 12:06) picked Buccaneers +3.5 over the Eagles, arguing “The Eagles have underperformed all season. If you look at advanced stats, they could easily be one and two or oh and three.” He dismissed Philadelphia’s late-game magic, noted Wirfs’ return, Mayfield’s strong play, and called the line exaggerated. Dave (13:27 – 16:29) agreed on Tampa, then picked the Broncos -7.5 over the Bengals, pointing to Denver’s defense being top 10 in yards per play, number two in the red zone, and number one in TDs not allowed per game, while Cincinnati averaged only 49 rushing yards per game with Browning already turnover-prone. Munaf (16:30 – 17:12) backed this, citing Chase Brown’s meager 93 yards on 2.0 YPC and Browning’s five interceptions. Sleepy (17:14 – 19:17) hesitated on Denver due to the spread, saying “I would much rather pick a dead number game” but admitted Cincinnati’s WRs could still threaten Denver’s defense. Munaf (19:17 – 21:45) chose Steelers +2.5 vs Vikings in Dublin, pointing out Wentz faces new pressure, Pittsburgh’s defense improved with T.J. Watt, and Jalen Warren emerged as a passing-game weapon. He predicted mistakes from Wentz would cost Minnesota. Sleepy (21:59 – 23:58) liked the Steelers too, stressing the importance of the 2.5 line in a low-total game, warning Wentz has struggled under pressure and “when you get a level-headed Aaron Rodgers, you don’t get five turnovers.” Mackenzie (24:37 – 26:52) disagreed, backing Vikings, criticizing Rodgers’ rankings (31st in PFF, 22nd in QBR), pointing to Pittsburgh’s poor metrics, and saying “Favorites do well internationally.” Dave (27:07 – 27:50) sided with Mack, calling Pittsburgh’s run game the second worst in the league and Rodgers incapable of carrying them. Survivor picks followed: Dave (30:12 – 32:01) took Patriots over Panthers, dismissing Carolina’s win as turnover-driven, while Sleepy (32:06 – 35:42) also chose New England, adding, “How many chances are you going to get to really play New England? I think the chances to play them is this week.” Munaf (35:42 – 37:33) added Denver and possibly Texans as options but leaned Broncos. Mackenzie (37:34 – 38:50) favored Detroit, citing a profitable trend where underdogs who win as big dogs typically fail the next week, saying, “The Browns traveling to Detroit get smoked. And I think Carolina also is going to be a little bit overmatched in New England.” The show closed with humor, coupon codes, and Dave joking about being offered Fritos for Chase Brown, ending with optimism about continuing to deliver valuable picks Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 3 recap. Plus, the guys dive into MNF Ravens and Lions. Munaf Manji (0:14 – 1:13) opened by recapping Week 3, noting the Chiefs’ 22–9 win over the Giants. He stressed New York’s failure to score a touchdown and hinted at looming coaching and quarterback questions. The Chiefs covered –5.5, the total stayed under, and the game was defined by defense. Mackenzie Rivers (2:25 – 4:13) said, “the Chiefs defense now three games in a row has been pretty good,” but highlighted offensive struggles with Travis Kelce at just 26 yards and Hollywood Brown leading in receiving. He framed Kansas City’s attack as steady but no longer explosive. Munaf (4:13 – 6:26) pointed to Isaiah Pacheco’s 45 rushing yards on 10 carries and Taekwon Thornton’s 71 yards and a touchdown. He noted Harrison Butker’s missed kicks left four points on the field, yet argued Kansas City remains in control of the AFC West. Discussion shifted to the Giants (6:44 – 9:26). Fans called for Russell Wilson’s benching, while Mackenzie criticized Jackson Dart’s limited usage and compared Malik Nabers’ inefficiency to Carmelo Anthony. Survivor contest carnage followed (9:33 – 12:16). Nearly 3,000 entries were eliminated after Packers and Falcons losses, leaving only 58 alive. Mackenzie mocked anyone who picked the Dolphins as “setting your money on fire.” Market moves (12:16 – 26:25) showed upgrades for the Browns (+1.5), Vikings (+1.5 with Wentz’s 173 yards, 2 TDs), and Colts (+1.5 behind Jonathan Taylor’s 102 yards and 3 TDs). Downgrades hit the Cowboys (–2), Packers, Bengals with Jake Browning’s 5 picks, and Titans for a 3–17 ATS record. Munaf stressed Houston’s NFL-worst 38 points scored in three games. The preview (27:13 – 35:18) focused on Lions vs. Ravens. Detroit was +4.5 after scoring 52 against Chicago, while Baltimore’s defense allowed 4.67 yards per carry. Munaf liked Jared Goff over 35.5 pass attempts, expecting volume. Both leaned Detroit +4.5. Closing (35:18 – 43:34) included Pregame.com’s $10-for-$50 bulk dollars promo, Mackenzie’s reminder that five of the last seven games with totals over 53 involved Detroit and went over, and a cautious lean under. They ended with best bets on Detroit +4.5 and excitement for the NBA season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for NFL Week 3. NFL Fantasy Football Podcast – Week 3 NFL Fantasy Football Podcast - … [Rod Villagomez] (0:08 – 0:39) Rod sets the stage: “It feels like it’s just started, and yet we’re fully into this with injuries and all of these things happening.” This opening stresses how quickly the season has escalated, creating chaos for fantasy managers. [Munaf Manji] (0:40 – 1:57) Munaf expands: “You probably had Joe Burrow… Jaden Daniels… Brock Purdy… and now you’re scrambling.” His analysis reflects the immediate fantasy impact of quarterback injuries, especially in superflex leagues, and sets up the episode’s theme: making difficult replacement and flex decisions. [Rod Villagomez] (1:58 – 3:55) Rod shares personal experience: “I have lost Brock Purdy, Jaden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy in pretty much one of each of my fantasy rosters.” This illustrates the broader point—injuries are forcing managers into uncomfortable waiver moves like starting Daniel Jones. The implication: adaptability is now critical for survival in fantasy leagues. [Game Analysis & Stats] Munaf cites James Cook’s breakout: “284 rushing yards through three games, four total touchdowns, 355 scrimmage yards.” Cook’s consistency demonstrates the value of recognizing rising backs early. He also notes Josh Allen’s “three passing touchdowns yesterday and no interceptions thus far.” On the Dolphins’ side, Tua’s regression is key: “He’s thrown an interception in every game thus far… four interceptions total.” The takeaway is that fantasy managers should consider benching Tua until stability returns. [Flex Debates] Cade Otten vs. Kyle Pitts: Both agree Otten may deliver more short-term fantasy relevance because Pitts is overshadowed by Bijan Robinson and Drake London. Breece Hall vs. Michael Pittman: Rod and Munaf favor Pittman, citing Hall’s lack of usage and Tampa Bay’s elite run defense. Jordan Mason vs. Drake London: Both back Mason, especially with Aaron Jones on IR, making Mason the clear RB1. Tyler Allgeier vs. Rachaad White: Consensus leans Allgeier, as Atlanta’s matchup with Carolina suggests heavy run volume. Keenan Allen vs. Xavier Worthy: Allen’s “17 targets, 71% catch rate, two touchdowns” firmly positions him as a must-start over a questionable rookie. [DFS Lineup Build] (46:13 – 55:30) They construct a DraftKings lineup, spotlighting Dak Prescott, Jordan Mason, Alvin Kamara, Keenan Allen, CeeDee Lamb, Troy Franklin, Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers, and Falcons DST. The discussion emphasizes value hunting— “Jordan Mason at $5,400 is a great play” —and strategic stacking (e.g., Dak with CeeDee Lamb). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor entries for NFL Week 3. Survivor Podcast – NFL Week 3 Entries Survivor Podcast - NFL Week 3 E… [Mackenzie Rivers] (0:14 – 1:36) Mackenzie opens: “No favorites have lost, essentially, at all this season… does that mean there’s a fundamental change?” He frames the survivor context—favorites are dominating, with field-goal favorites now 18-3. The implication is that while carnage hasn’t struck yet, it eventually will. [Dan Rivera] (1:37 – 6:10) Dan critiques the Broncos-Colts game: “Sean Payton… you deserve to lose. Your defense was manhandled all game.” His analysis underscores poor coaching decisions and Denver’s collapse. He emphasizes that despite chaos, his survivor strategy remains unchanged: avoid saving teams without attaching them to specific weeks and look for calculated creative plays. [Mackenzie Rivers] (6:11 – 10:17) Mackenzie ties league trends to survivor dynamics: “Teams are scoring on 41% of their possessions… an all-time high.” He connects higher efficiency to favorites’ success, explaining why survivor pools remain crowded. Yet he warns of regression, reminding listeners that waves of upsets inevitably strike. [Consensus Pick Strategy] The hosts weigh options: Packers, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Colts, Falcons. Chiefs are dismissed due to Thanksgiving/Christmas scheduling needs. Bucs are avoided because of injuries and Todd Bowles’ poor Week 3 record. Packers are sidelined due to uncertainty with Jordan Love. That leaves Seattle, Indianapolis, and Atlanta. [Final Decision] (37:35 – 39:41) Dan and Mackenzie agree: “Let’s make Atlanta Falcons the official pick.” They cite “least variance” and reliance on Bijan Robinson against Carolina’s weak defense. The implication is clear—the Falcons’ rushing attack provides the most stable survivor path, minimizing upset risk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Lonte Smith talk NFL contest picks and much more. NFL Week 3 Contest Breakdown and Picks Munaf Manji (0:08 – 0:59) Munaf opened by setting the stage for the Week 3 contest discussion, reviewing Circa Millions, Circa Survivor, and the Westgate Super Contest. He emphasized injuries at quarterback across the league and noted that their picks could be used to guide or fade depending on listener preference. Dave Essler (1:00 – 1:12) Dave candidly admitted, “We did some good things last week, we did some bad things. Came out slightly ahead.” His honesty framed the cautious optimism for Week 3. Lonte Smith (1:43 – 3:00) Lonte joked about Denver’s penalty issues but pivoted into praise for Daniel Jones, noting, “They’re not trying to make him do things he’s not capable of.” He highlighted quick decision-making, mobility, and effective coaching as reasons for Jones’ improvement. Munaf Manji (3:00 – 7:13) Munaf recapped Week 2 contests. In Circa Millions, 24 entries sat at 9-1, while nine entries were 0-10 chasing the booby prize. The most popular Week 2 picks went 2-3, including losses by the Cowboys (-5.5) and Jets (+6.5). In Circa Survivor, 68 of 69 $150,000 entries survived, with over 16,900 entries still alive overall. He stressed the importance of contest line timing and teased upcoming Survivor picks. Dave Essler (7:14 – 9:30) Dave announced his pick: the Cleveland Browns. He reasoned, “I’ll never lay more than a touchdown in the NFL,” citing Cleveland’s defensive stats—holding Baltimore to 45 rushing yards and 25% third-down conversions. He also bet the under at 42.5, expecting a defensive struggle against Green Bay. Munaf Manji (9:31 – 11:16) Munaf confirmed contest lines at +7.5, echoing support for the under and highlighting yards-per-play stats, where Green Bay and Cleveland rank first and second defensively. He suggested it could be an “ugly week” with possible upsets. Lonte Smith (11:16 – 12:27) Lonte backed the Browns as well, noting Baltimore’s defensive touchdown inflated the final score. He stressed, “Dog and under with a total like this is typically one of the better bets.” He believed Cleveland could outright win if they maintained a ground game. Lonte Smith (13:27 – 15:02) His personal pick was the New York Giants +6.5 versus Kansas City. He doubted the Chiefs’ offense without Rashee Rice and believed the Giants could manage clock control through the run game. Munaf Manji (15:09 – 17:48) Munaf disagreed, siding with Kansas City, trusting their defense under Steve Spagnuolo and forecasting a strong Patrick Mahomes performance. He warned it could be a “flat spot” for the Giants after a tough division loss. Dave Essler (17:48 – 19:39) Dave leaned with Munaf, doubting Giants’ discipline and coaching, pointing out, “Wilson throws for almost 500 yards and loses… I don’t trust Dable.” He leaned Chiefs but hesitated at the spread. Survivor Picks (31:12 – 38:57) Lonte chose Tampa Bay against a Jets team on the road with a backup QB, calling Todd Bowles’ defense a bad matchup. Dave proposed the Bears over Dallas, criticizing Jerry Jones’ leadership, but also liked Tampa. Munaf supported Tampa and Seattle, emphasizing Baker Mayfield’s leadership and Seattle’s defensive edge against Spencer Rattler. Lonte also floated Baltimore over Detroit, citing Lamar Jackson’s history of dominance at home. Closing Thoughts (39:23 – 42:49) The group briefly discussed Minnesota, with Dave and Lonte agreeing Carson Wentz could be an upgrade over J.J. McCarthy, especially with Justin Jefferson needing targets. They closed with lighthearted banter about Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase’s relationship and confirmed they’d return for Week 4 with more contest and survivor insights Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Open De France -Discussing top 5 on odds board -1 matchup -1 t20 -3 outrights (50/1, 100/1, 125/1) -Sleeper French Open Preview with Will Doctor (0:15 – 0:28) Will Doctor opens with high energy, promising sharp insights for the upcoming French Open at St. Nom. His words, “Nice to have you with us as I bring you the sharpest picks for the latest PGA Tour event,” set the tone for an in-depth analysis filled with betting angles and course breakdowns. Course and Field Context (0:40 – 30:08) Doctor describes St. Nom, a Robert Trent Jones design, as a “narrow thinker’s test” that has not hosted since 1982. He emphasizes its 7,000-yard length, tree-lined fairways, and small greens. His assessment, “I expect some pretty low scores this week,” highlights the scoring potential. He recalls its recent use in the 2022 World Amateur Team Championship, noting players like Wenyi Ding, Sam Bearstow, and Martin Kuvra, who all feature this week. Betting odds and past performance details underscore the predictive analysis, such as Julian Sale’s recent Challenge Tour results and Tom Volant’s top-10 finish at the Eisenhower Trophy. Review of Last Week’s Betting Card (30:08 – onwards) Doctor reflects on wins and losses, spotlighting Scottie Scheffler. He recalls backlash for betting him early, countering with “He is all about firsts,” noting Scheffler’s six wins in each of the last two seasons. His dominance, especially forcing Ben Griffin to fold under pressure, is framed as comparable to Tiger Woods’ psychological impact. Key stats include Scheffler tying for 40th on the all-time PGA Tour wins list and joining Tiger as the only two players since 1983 with six or more wins in multiple seasons. This contextualizes Scheffler’s place in modern golf. Doctor also reviews struggles: Ángel Iora’s poor short game despite strong driving, Rory McIlroy’s doubles costing him contention, and Tommy Fleetwood’s rust. Successful tickets included Maverick McNeely’s top 20 and Oliver Lindell’s top 20, but overall, the week ended down 2.8 units. French Open Favorites (Harry Hall to Minwoo Lee) Doctor dissects leading contenders: Harry Hall (12-1): praised for consistent form but passed on due to limited value. Corey Connors (12-1): strong ball-striker with past success at La National but questionable putting; Doctor expects better live odds. Jordan Smith (25-1): consistent but hampered by poor chipping, making him a pass. Adrian Satie (25-1): recent hot streak, including near-wins, but poor national tournament history reduces appeal. Minwoo Lee (25-1): streaky play and weak irons lead to another pass. Matchups Two betting angles emerge: Tom Volant over Frederic Lacroix (-135): Volant’s strong iron play and past success at St. Nom outweigh Lacroix’s struggles with irons and putting. Elvis Smiley over Julien Guerrier (-125): Smiley’s resilience and consistent cuts contrast Guerrier’s recent missed cuts and declining form. Best Bets and Outrights Martin Kuvra (50-1 outright, 2-1 top 20): Cited as the best bet thanks to regained form at Wentworth and proven winning pedigree. Guido Migliozzi (100-1): A past French Open champion whose iron play is resurging. Rafa Cabrera-Bello (125-1 outright, +750 top 10 sleeper): Veteran Spaniard showing renewed consistency, strong putting, and proven success in France. Closing Doctor concludes by affirming confidence in his picks: Kuvra as the anchor bet, Migliozzi as value, and Cabrera-Bello as a sleeper. His final note, “That’s the card. That’ll do it for the French Open preview,” signals readiness for the Ryder Cup next For the latest on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 Learn more about your ad choices.

He also favored the Reds over the Cardinals given Palante’s 1–9 post-break record and 6.59 ERA. Griffin (6:28–6:57) called it must-win for Cincinnati but disliked road favorites. Munaf (6:57–11:33) praised Tyler Wells’ strong return for the Orioles and recommended moneyline and run line vs. White Sox’s Pérez. Griffin (11:35–12:13) leaned Diamondbacks with Brandon Pfaadt against Verlander.

Munaf (15:44–17:09) leaned over 8.5 given Waldrep’s 11 walks in three games. Griffin (17:10–18:25) called Gavin Williams an upgrade for Cleveland, while Flaherty is homer-prone.

Munaf (32:37–33:43) leaned Mariners at -103 for playoff urgency. Griffin (33:43–34:49) suggested Angels-Brewers under, noting Soriano’s road form. Munaf (34:49–38:55) confirmed Soriano’s 8–2 road record with 2.66 ERA and leaned under. Munaf (34:49–39:40) promoted Pregame.com’s $10 for $50 bulk dollar deal, a 400% bonus through Sept. 22. Griffin (39:40–41:04) called Astros underdogs valuable post-Álvarez injury. Munaf (41:04–43:18) leaned Rangers with deGrom despite recent three-run outings. Griffin (43:18–43:38) suggested over 10.5 in Marlins-Rockies. Munaf (43:38–45:24) leaned Phillies with Luzardo strikeouts over Snell.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 2. The guys also discuss two MNF games. SOVAM Weekend Rewind and MNF PreviewOpening (0:15 – 1:02) Munaf Manji welcomed listeners to the Week 2 recap and double-MNF preview, joined by Mackenzie Rivers . He promised instant reactions, contest updates, and best bets. Munaf contrasted Week 1’s fireworks with Week 2’s defense-heavy slate: “It took about 57 minutes for us to see the first touchdown of the game from Mr. 1, Tyler Algier.” The Falcons beat the Vikings 22–6. Team stats: Falcons 326 yards vs Vikings 198; time of possession 36:32 to 23:28; turnovers 4–1 against Minnesota. Despite five red-zone trips, Atlanta settled mostly for field goals. Bijan Robinson shined, but rookie QB J.J. McCarthy faltered with sacks and giveaways. Mackenzie noted his new fatherhood could explain the struggles, but warned: “You do have to prove positively that you are an improvement over Sam Darnold.” In SERCA Survivor , most entries leaned on the Cardinals (5,169) and Ravens (4,420). Steelers and Vikings picks led to hundreds of eliminations. In Circa Millions , top sides (Cowboys, Jets, Broncos) all failed, with only the Eagles cashing. Mackenzie marveled at long field goals: “People kick 64-yarders in overtime… wow.” Mackenzie’s top risers: Packers – line moved from -7 to -9, driven by defense and Micah Parsons. Bills – from -10.5 to -13 after dominating the Jets. Colts – Daniel Jones looked sharp, Taylor balanced the attack. Munaf agreed, adding the Lions , who dropped 52 on the Bears, proving Ben Johnson’s departure didn’t stall the offense. Mackenzie listed three fallers: Jets – QB Justin Fields left concussed; 3-of-11 for 25 yards. Bears – crushed despite Caleb Williams’ 207 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT. Dolphins – porous defense, Tua’s late INT sealed loss to Patriots. Munaf added Bengals , with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury. Mackenzie said: “A 4.5-point move from Joe Burrow to Jake Browning… probably the end of the Zach Taylor era if it’s three months.” Munaf admitted a blunder starting Justin Fields, who netted 3.8 points, but his roster (Taylor, Neighbors, Adams) carried him. Mackenzie joked his own fantasy team was “trash.” Texans -2.5, total 42.5. Injuries: Bucs missing Wirfs and Godwin, Texans without Mixon. Munaf stressed the Texans are 8-3 to the under as home favorites under DeMeco Ryans. Both leaned Tampa and under 42.5 . Raiders +3.5, total 46.5. Mackenzie liked the Chargers’ road edge and prep advantage. Munaf emphasized Justin Herbert’s dominance in Vegas , topping 314 passing yards in all four appearances. His best bet: Herbert over 253.5 yards . Both suggested Chargers could cover alternate spreads like -13.5. Mackenzie: Clippers -8 vs Jazz in their NBA opener, expecting focus after off-court drama. Munaf: Justin Herbert over 253.5 yards vs Raiders. The hosts closed by thanking listeners, promoting Pregame.com’s Touchdown25 code, and inviting feedback, including prop bet requests.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dane Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 2. NFL Week 2 Survivor Picks Recap Mackenzie Rivers (0:14–1:30) opened celebrating Week 1: “Favorites go 12 and four… our selections go three and oh.” He outlined their pool strategies, from consensus picks to sharp alternatives. Dan Rivera (1:30–2:53) avoided heavy betting, warning the Chiefs “might just be average… until they get this wide receiver situation figured out.” Rivers (2:53–7:06) noted scoring dipped because of pace: “10 drives per game would be the lowest since 2002.” He pushed the Ravens, citing a 29–5 straight-up trend for teams rebounding from blown leads. Rivera (7:06–10:48) backed multiple Ravens entries but recalled Buffalo’s shocking 2021 upset as a turnover caution. Both (10:48–18:10) debated Arizona. Rivera doubted Kyler Murray’s consistency, but Rivers cited Carolina’s weak defense and Bryce Young’s struggles. Rivera (18:11–21:50) floated Detroit but questioned Caleb Williams’ NFL readiness. Rivers hesitated: “The Lions just don’t have the muscle memory of being a good team.” On Buffalo (22:59–28:15) Rivera labeled them “buyer beware,” warning of a Jets upset. Dallas & Rams (28:16–37:46) split opinions: Rivera leaned pass, while Rivers praised Dallas’ efficiency. Both agreed the Rams are risky but usable now. Closing (37:46–43:37): Consensus formed: load heavily on Baltimore, sprinkle one on Arizona, and take a contrarian shot with Denver. “Our official official consensus pick is the Baltimore Ravens.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rives and Dave Essler talk NFL contest picks for week 2. He argues the Jets “could have won” and notes Buffalo’s heavy workload (78 offensive plays). With division games historically close, he sees value in the Jets. Munaf (12:06 – 13:24) – Agrees, adding Justin Fields’ dual-threat potential and Breece Hall’s role against Buffalo’s shaky run defense. He stresses line shopping, noting DraftKings had Jets +7. McKenzie (13:24 – 15:24) – Supports Jets further, highlighting success rate: Jets ranked third-best in Week 1. He warns of historical ATS struggles for teams after miracle comebacks like Buffalo’s. Consensus Pick – All three lock in the Jets. McKenzie Rivers (15:51 – 17:30) – Takes the Chargers -3.5 vs. Raiders, praising Justin Herbert’s breakout game and offensive dominance. He dismisses concerns about travel from Brazil, saying rest days and comfort offset it. Munaf (17:31 – 18:52) – Agrees, even bought Herbert MVP futures. He views Raiders as vulnerable after travel from Foxborough. Dave (19:11 – 20:20) – Adds Chargers dominated Raiders last year, credits their underrated defense, and believes they can win the AFC West. Munaf Manji (20:21 – 23:22) – Picks the Cowboys -6 vs. Giants, citing Dak Prescott’s history: 22-5 straight up vs. division opponents at home since 2016. 20-7 ATS (74.1%). 8-1 straight up vs. Giants at home, winning by 15.4 points on average. He doubts Russell Wilson can lead the Giants’ offense, predicting Dallas rebounds strong. Dave (23:22 – 24:49) – Fully agrees, pointing out the Giants’ defense allowed 220 rushing yards and committed penalties that masked their weakness. McKenzie (24:51 – 26:52) – Notes Dak was PFF’s second-best QB in Week 1. Dallas showed top-10 offensive success despite losing to Philadelphia. He supports Cowboys strongly. Survivor Picks (30:04 – 34:58) Dave – Chooses Steelers, betting against Sam Darnold’s inconsistency and praising Pittsburgh’s home-field edge. Munaf – Chooses Chargers, preferring their divisional setup and momentum. McKenzie – Keeps his pick for a separate Survivor pod but warns Week 2 will bring “carnage.” Closing (35:36 – 38:44) The trio agree the Jets are their collective best bet for Week 2. Dave closes with thoughts on fading Carolina, noting Bryce Young’s struggles and a porous Panthers run defense that allowed Jacksonville 200 rushing yards. Munaf echoes that Arizona may exploit Carolina’s weakness with James Conner, Trey Benson, or Kyler Murray. Munaf wraps the show by thanking his co-hosts, reminding listeners of Pregame.com promotions, and urging them to enjoy the fast-moving NFL season. ✅ Final Consensus Best Bet: New York Jets +6.5 (with value at +7). ✅ Additional Contest Picks: Chargers -3.5, Cowboys -6. ✅ Survivor Selections: Steelers (Dave), Chargers (Munaf).

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest cards for the BMW PGA and Procore Championship. BMW PGA Championship and Procore Championship Picks Will Doctor (0:16 – 0:29) Will Doctor welcomed listeners to the Golf Preview Podcast on Pre-Games Network, promising sharp betting insights for the week’s events. Will Doctor (0:38 – 41:38) He covered three tournaments: the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, the Procore Championship in Napa, and the Korn Ferry Playoffs. While focusing on the first two, he noted Rory McIlroy’s Irish Open win: “Rory won at the K Club… in a three-hole playoff.” Doctor regretted missing the chance to back him, stressing Rory has five wins in his last 25 starts. He compared betting returns, noting: “If you bet $100 on Sheffler every tournament this year, you only made $180.” Surprisingly, Brian Campbell was more profitable despite fewer wins, showing how odds shape outcomes. His Irish Open card was “a total nightmare” as Shane Lowry’s elite ball striking was undone by poor putting, while Andy Sullivan and Rasmus Højgaard also disappointed. Despite setbacks, his season record remained +16.9 units. Wentworth Breakdown The course is 7,300 yards, tree-lined, with small greens. Doctor emphasized accuracy, elite approach shots, and strong short game: “I will not have one player on this card who is a below average chipper.” BMW PGA Picks Rory McIlroy (+650): Recent driving accuracy and hot putting make him “unbeatable.” Strong history at Wentworth, including a win and multiple runner-ups. Jon Rahm (+750): Consistent podium finishes at Wentworth, though driving accuracy is a concern. Backed for top five (+160). Tommy Fleetwood (10-1): Riding momentum after first PGA Tour win. Doctor chose him for top 10 (-110). Others: Ludvig Åberg (22-1) considered overpriced; Matt Fitzpatrick (22-1) solid but unproven here; Viktor Hovland (22-1) dangerous but better as a live bet. Additional Plays: Matteo Manassero: Top Italian (+175). Oliver Lindell: Top 20 (+275), praised for form despite no recent wins. Outrights: Rory McIlroy (+650) and Ángel Ayora (100-1), the latter a young Spaniard with elite driving and emerging results. Sleeper: Ayora top 20 (+275). First Round: Ayora over Schneider & Juan Co (-110). Procore Championship Picks Scottie Scheffler (+260): Primary outright pick; no Rory, Rahm, or Fleetwood in field boosts his chances. Maverick McNeely (30-1): Outright and top 20 (+105), strong local history including 2022 runner-up. Sleeper: Sami Välimäki top 20 (+300), praised for accuracy and iron play. Matchup: Davis Thompson over Max Gracerman (-120). Best Bet: Patrick Cantlay top 10 (+150), citing improved putting under Phil Kenyon and strong playoff form. Closing Doctor ended by pointing ahead to coverage of the French Open and Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, with additional updates promised on X (@DRMedia59). Takeaways Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are central BMW PGA contenders, while Ángel Ayora offers sleeper upside. In Napa, Scottie Scheffler dominates the board, with McNeely and Cantlay positioned as strong alternatives.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Wednesday. Munaf added that Sanchez had struggled against the Mets, allowing six earned runs in their most recent matchup. Despite bullpen issues, he leaned Mets money line at +145. Griffin Warner (27:58 – 29:11) On Tigers vs. Yankees, Griffin doubted Jack Flaherty, calling him prone to multi-run homers. He worried about Rodon’s stamina but acknowledged New York’s motivation. Munaf Manji (29:12 – 33:05) Munaf highlighted Rodon’s stellar season: 16-7, 3.12 ERA, 180 strikeouts, and strong home splits (9-3 with a 2.86 ERA at Yankee Stadium). He recommended Yankees first-five run line. Griffin Warner (33:06 – 34:48) Turning to Reds vs. Padres, Griffin praised Nick Pivetta but noted Cincinnati’s struggles with Abbott. He leaned toward the under at 7.5. Munaf Manji (34:49 – 36:38) Munaf confirmed Abbott’s poor form but mentioned his prior dominance against San Diego (0.92 ERA). He leaned Reds at +147 but strongest angle was under 7.5. Griffin Warner (36:39 – 38:33) On Cardinals vs. Mariners, Griffin distrusted St. Louis’ bullpen but leaned under 7.5 due to Seattle’s inconsistency. Munaf Manji (38:34 – 40:25) Munaf praised Gilbert’s recent 13-strikeout outing but noted Seattle’s poor run support. He leaned under as well, avoiding the heavy -220 money line. Griffin Warner (40:26 – 41:16) For Rockies vs. Dodgers, Griffin dismissed Colorado’s chances despite their brief no-hit bid. He labeled the Dodgers flawed but said Colorado couldn’t capitalize. Munaf Manji (41:16 – 43:16) Munaf suggested Rockies team total under or full-game under 8.5, pointing out regression risk for Kyle Freeland despite his recent shutout. Griffin Warner (43:39 – 44:37) For his best bet, Griffin chose Pirates-Orioles under 7.5, banking on Skeen’s dominance and limited Baltimore bats. Munaf Manji (44:37 – 46:22) Munaf’s best bet was Brewers-Rangers under 7.5, citing Peralta’s 28 scoreless innings and Globe Life’s 63.9% season-long under trend. Closing (46:23 – 47:14) Both hosts reminded listeners of the Pregame promo code HIT99, offering discounted packages, and wrapped up the show. Final Word: The Wednesday card preview was dominated by pitching matchups, regression angles, and bullpen vulnerabilities. Both hosts ultimately aligned on unders as their strongest plays—Pirates/Orioles and Brewers/Rangers—reflecting confidence in elite arms and scoring suppression trends.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL waiver wire moves. NFL Week 2 Waiver Wire Highlights Rod Villagomez (0:06 – 0:49) opened with Week 1’s excitement, calling Josh Allen “a dangerous man” after a monster fantasy outing. Munaf Manji (0:50 – 2:26) noted sluggish early games but praised Sunday night football. He reminded that survivor pools had low Week 1 eliminations compared to prior years. Rod (2:26 – 3:47) stressed the need to hit waivers early, sharing Allen gave him 50 fantasy points yet he still lost. Munaf (3:48 – 5:03) highlighted injuries: George Kittle, Drake London, Evan Engram, Brock Bowers . He spotlighted Dylan Sampson (CLE) : weak rushing ( 12 for 29 ) but stellar receiving ( 8 catches, 64 yards, 43% snaps ). Rod (5:04 – 6:23) added Bijan Robinson picked up London’s slack as a pass-catcher, while Jake Tonja could fill in for Kittle. Munaf (6:24 – 8:13) praised CLE’s defense holding Burrow to 113 yds and Chase to 26 , while Sampson looked like a waiver gem. Rod (8:14 – 10:52) hyped Daniel Jones (IND) : 22/29, 272 yds, 1 TD , just 5% rostered . Munaf (10:53 – 13:16) added Jones’ 2 rushing TDs, 87.6 QBR , noting he scored on every drive.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 1 Recap and much more. Munaf Manji (0:17 – 0:59) Munaf introduced the season’s first weekend recap, joined by Mackenzie Rivers to break down Sunday’s action and preview Monday Night Football. Mackenzie pointed out Baltimore’s recurring late-game collapses: “This is the 10th 10-point lead in the Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh era where it didn’t go as planned with the fourth quarter loss.” Despite strong stats, the Ravens again fell short. Munaf described how a 15-point lead vanished after Derrick Henry’s fumble. Baltimore punted on 4th-and-2, allowing Josh Allen to hit Keon Coleman for the decisive score. Jair Alexander’s tackle instead of letting a TD sealed their fate. Mackenzie noted that decision flipped the odds: “As soon as he tackled him, the live line is minus 3,000 Bills.” Ravens scored 40 but defense failed again. Lamar Jackson: 14/19, 209 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Derrick Henry: 18 carries, 169 yards, 2 TDs. Zay Flowers: 7 catches, 143 yards, 1 TD. Josh Allen: 394 total yards, 4 TDs, pushing his MVP odds to +350. Favorites went 11-1 Sunday; unders dominated. Mackenzie used line shifts to grade upgrades: Jaguars, Chargers, Raiders, and Packers. Munaf praised Justin Herbert’s performance, Travis Etienne’s 143 rushing yards, and Green Bay’s defensive dominance. Teams falling: Miami — Daniel Jones looked like “Peyton Jones,” posting 272 yards, 3 total TDs vs. their broken defense. Chiefs — WR injuries (Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice suspended) leave them thin. Giants & Panthers also slipped. Bengals downgraded slightly after Joe Burrow’s 113-yard outing; Chase (26 yards) and Higgins (33) were quiet. Jaguars vs. Bengals line movement suggests value on Jacksonville. Bills heavy favorites vs. Jets. 49ers injuries: George Kittle (hamstring), Jauan Jennings (shoulder). Christian McCaffrey still posted 130 yards. Brock Purdy showed poise despite 2 INTs. Bears: New coach Ben Johnson looks to revive Chicago. Vikings: Rookie J.J. McCarthy makes his first start with Jefferson returning and Thielen rejoining. Mackenzie leaned to the under , citing Brian Flores’ exotic blitz packages. Munaf backed the Bears +1.5 , doubting McCarthy’s readiness. Player Props: Munaf: Aaron Jones over 18.5 receiving yards , with nine straight games clearing that vs. Chicago. Mackenzie: J.J. McCarthy under passing yards , expecting a conservative plan. The hosts promoted Pregame.com with promo code “WINNING25,” praised their debut recap, and noted both started 3-0 in Survivor contests. They promised weekly updates with upgrades, downgrades, betting edges, and contest talk. ✅ Key Themes: Ravens’ defense undermines elite offensive stats. Week 1 unders and favorites dominate. Chargers, Jaguars, Raiders, Packers upgraded; Dolphins, Chiefs, Bengals downgraded. Betting value: Jaguars vs. Bengals, Bears vs. Vikings under. Player props spotlight Aaron Jones and J.J. McCarthy.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 1 Week one of the NFL season is here, and fantasy football owners are facing those familiar flex spot dilemmas that often decide championships. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji dive deep into the most pressing start-sit questions, breaking down wide receiver matchups, running back depth charts, and how injuries shape early lineups . The discussion opens with Cooper Kupp’s sharp decline and Ricky Pearsall’s rise as San Francisco’s surprise weapon. With Brandon Aiyuk banged up and Deebo Samuel absent, Purdy’s chemistry with Pearsall makes him the stronger play, especially compared to Kupp adapting to a new offense in Seattle. Munaf reinforces the point, stressing that Pearsall’s end-of-season surge and target share translate into legitimate WR2 or flex value. The pair even rank Pearsall above Calvin Ridley in week one, given Ridley’s tough matchup against Denver’s shutdown corner Patrick Surtain . The show then pivots to DJ Moore versus DK Metcalf. Moore’s chemistry with Caleb Williams and strong history against Minnesota stand out, but the allure of Aaron Rodgers throwing deep to Metcalf lingers. Ultimately, both agree that Moore offers the safer floor, while Metcalf is a gamble for owners already trailing after Thursday night. That tension between security and upside is exactly what makes these early-season choices agonizing . Next, they spotlight Mika Yubikei, Tampa Bay’s rookie wideout, thrust into action with Chris Godwin sidelined. With Mike Evans drawing top coverage, Yubikei could quietly pile up targets against Atlanta, especially if Baker Mayfield is forced into a shootout. Both Rod and Munaf lean toward starting him, seeing opportunity in volume and game script . Running back depth is another theme. The uncertainty around Christian McCaffrey’s calf injury leaves Isaac Guerendo and Brian Robinson Jr. as next-man-up options. Shanahan’s system historically leans on multiple backs, and Robinson’s signing signals trust. Owners who handcuffed correctly may be rewarded right away. Meanwhile, the hosts debate Cortland Sutton versus Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Broncos receiver brings talent but faces Tennessee’s elite pass defense, while Tracy benefits from Washington’s leaky run defense. Both lean Tracy, siding with matchup over pedigree . They also tackle Garrett Wilson’s value under Justin Fields. Despite quarterback inconsistency, Wilson’s target volume makes him hard to bench. Comparing him to Sutton, Munaf sides with Wilson, highlighting how opportunity can outweigh efficiency. Another big-name dilemma: Stefan Diggs versus Jauan Jennings. Diggs, now in New England, offers veteran stability for Drake May, while Jennings is a tertiary option in San Francisco’s crowded offense. Both analysts see Diggs as the better play, predicting a potential bounce-back year . The show closes on Austin Ekeler versus Nick Chubb. Ekeler brings dual-threat ability but declining efficiency, while Chubb returns from injury with questions about workload. Rod admits he already benched Ekeler in one league for Chubb, preferring the steadier ground game. They stress that early weeks often spark overreactions, but data on snap counts and usage will soon clarify future decisions. Flex spots may not be glamorous, but as the hosts remind listeners, they swing weekly outcomes and, ultimately, titles . In the end, this week one preview isn’t just about names—it’s about context, matchups, and opportunity. From Pearsall’s emergence in San Francisco to Tracy’s rushing upside in New York, the nuances matter. Owners who weigh talent against defensive strength, who balance floor and ceiling, will position themselves for early-season wins. And as always, championships are decided in the margins, in those tricky flex calls that define Sunday glory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 1. 0:15–1:23 — Mackenzie Rivers kicks things off by welcoming listeners back, noting the show’s growth from a small SoundCloud project to a widely followed contest discussion. His opening blends humor with a promise of actionable insight, reminding everyone the goal is making sharp picks and lasting deep into the season. 1:24–2:07 — Dan Rivera admits he’s moved away from fantasy football, finding Survivor contests more rewarding. He frames it as a different kind of grind where deep runs matter more than fantasy titles, setting a tone of seriousness and strategy. 2:07–3:35 — Rivers highlights Philadelphia’s opener, where betting lines moved from around −315 pregame to as high as −450 live. He credits Jalen Hurts’ rushing as the difference-maker and cautions against overreacting to the close margin, signaling to Survivor players that patience pays. 3:57–6:34 — Rivera turns to Dallas, pointing out their lack of pass rush, reliance on penalties, and roster questions. His verdict is that Week 1 divisional games can be misleading, and bettors shouldn’t make rash judgments about either team. 6:34–8:26 — Rivers adds that both sides had only eight possessions, skewing scoring totals. He sees Philly as a missed opportunity for those who didn’t take them, stressing that contest entries using the Eagles now sit with an early advantage. 8:26–12:37 — The two break down contest formats. Circa runs 20 weeks with holidays as separate slates, BetOnline uses 19, and Splash demands double picks late in the season. Rivera calls Splash unfair, while Rivers corrects a schedule note, underscoring the importance of knowing rules inside out. 14:41–22:11 — The Denver Broncos emerge as the strongest pick. Rivera cites Tennessee’s limited passing attack and shaky quarterback situation, while Rivers builds the case with history: rookie Week 1 quarterbacks are 2–10 straight up, No. 1 overall picks 1–8–1 in debuts, and Denver is 17–5 in Week 1 at altitude. He also stresses Sean Payton’s strong Week 1 record. 25:46–32:51 — Washington versus the Giants is flagged as dangerous. Rivera notes regression risk for the Commanders’ defense and praises New York’s pass rush, while Rivers points out Kliff Kingsbury’s teams often fade quickly. Survivor takeaway: avoid this shaky matchup. 32:52–41:54 — Arizona against New Orleans is another focus. Rivera is low on the Saints’ offense, while Rivers goes further, calling them possibly the league’s worst. Both see the Cardinals as nearly as safe as Denver, particularly with defensive pressure likely to cause problems. 46:41–49:53 — Rivers warns against Cincinnati as a Survivor choice, pointing to their September struggles under Zach Taylor and the Browns’ ability to keep games close as divisional home dogs. 49:55–54:38 — Kansas City against the Chargers in Brazil is floated as a contrarian option. Rivera highlights the Chiefs’ healthier roster and defensive strength, while Rivers acknowledges the upside but warns about neutral-site volatility. 54:39–1:01:12 — The Steelers versus Jets round out the debate. Rivera believes Tomlin will force Fields into passing errors and lean on the defensive front. Rivers adds historical data showing quarterbacks like Fields struggle early. They agree Pittsburgh is a viable but risky third option. Closing — The consensus locks Denver as the top pick, Arizona as a strong secondary, and Pittsburgh as a situational third. For formats allowing repeats, they lean toward doubling up on Denver. The wrap emphasizes discipline, historical awareness, and knowing contest rules as the keys to staying alive week after week.

Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Munaf Manji talk all thing NFL contests this week. NFL Contest Pod – Week 1 Picks Recap At 0:09–1:11 , host Munaf Manji introduced a new series on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview focused on Las Vegas ATS contests like the SuperContest, Circa Millions, and Survivor formats. The goal: share do’s and don’ts to help players map a winning season. At 1:11–1:26 , Mackenzie Rivers highlighted his track record of “never less than a 55% record,” underscoring how even solid numbers don’t always cash. Munaf at 1:27–1:51 set up Steve Fezzik as the two-time SuperContest champion, with Fezzik admitting at 1:51–2:28 that staying motivated after elimination has been his biggest challenge. Munaf recalled at 2:28–3:37 placing in 2019 with a $4,500 cash, stressing contests as a learning tool for NFL handicapping. Fezzik at 3:37–6:39 traced his rise from parlay cards to winning five contests between 2008–2009 and most recently finishing 21st in Circa Millions with a $400,000 Survivor payout. His advice: start with free contests, move to low-cost formats like “Last Man Standing,” then scale to Circa Millions or the $100,000-entry Grandissimo depending on bankroll. At 7:06–7:53 , Mackenzie recalled entering Westgate and Circa via free entries, noting a 57% year still didn’t cash. Munaf said his 2019 success came with a 60%+ record when payouts reached the top 100. Fezzik stressed at 8:45–10:56 the importance of overlays, preferring Circa Millions to Westgate, and warned against submitting picks early, especially before Thursday games, since injury news can shift opinions. His top rule: never miss deadlines but don’t rush. At 12:11–16:19 , discussion turned to Circa’s rise. Fezzik pointed to cheaper entry fees, quarterly prizes, heavy marketing, and the excitement of downtown Las Vegas. By contrast, Westgate lost ground with high rake, fewer prizes, weak advertising, and restrictive betting limits. Fezzik’s lesson at 17:47–19:00 : “Don’t play a bad number.” Contest picks should mirror real bets, with plus three always better than plus two-and-a-half. Hitting 60% requires value-driven selections. At 19:01–20:45 , Munaf promoted Pregame’s free “SuperContest 25 Free and Easier,” highlighting flexible pick submission and a $1,500 prize or Westgate entry for winners. Fezzik cautioned at 20:45–21:11 that no system guarantees profit, reminding listeners it’s still gambling. Survivor strategy took over at 22:19–25:54 , with Fezzik urging players to save elite teams like Philadelphia for holiday weeks but also noting overlays emerge when big favorites lose, creating profitable re-entry opportunities. At 26:46–28:33 , he explained his simplified approach: keep holiday teams available, ride big favorites like Denver, and avoid coin-flip games. At 29:25–31:11 , Fezzik described partnering with players by buying entry shares below market and offering consultation, a cleaner hedge alternative. He reaffirmed at 31:23–32:48 that hedging late in Survivor is essential, locking life-changing profits without eliminating rooting interest. The pod closed at 36:20–36:38 with Fezzik naming Denver as his Week 1 survivor pick. Mackenzie at 36:47–37:36 promoted his “Straight Outta Vegas AM” survivor show, while Munaf previewed weekly contest coverage. Fezzik wrapped at 37:57–38:04 with a playful reminder: “survive, survive, survive.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor delivers the sharpest card for the DP World Tour action at the Irish Open. -Discussing top 4 on odds board at K Club -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 outright -Sleeper, best bet Will Doctor (0:15–0:28) launches the Golf Preview Podcast with intensity: “A lot of energy, a lot of focus. Let’s get a roll.” That opening frames the episode as both sharp handicapping and urgent insight for fans eager to follow the Irish Open at The K Club. Will Doctor (0:37–1:46) reviews the European Masters where Tristan Lawrence won at 22-under, moving to 19th in the Order of Merit. Rasmus Højgaard and Sami Välimäki tied second at 20-under with Matt Wallace, while Matthew Fitzpatrick closed at 19-under. The clustering of elite scores highlights a high-form field, critical when projecting into this week’s event on a demanding course. Will Doctor (1:47–2:31) then plays an emotional post-round exchange with Matt Wallace. “You put yourself into the Ryder Cup conversations” frames the stakes. “He’s boring” drops oddly, followed by silence that signals heartbreak. “You’ve shown some serious courage” reframes that silence into grit. “Can’t talk” conveys how raw the moment is. “I’d never give up on the Ryder Cup, you know” defines Wallace’s mentality: pursuit against odds. “Thank you” closes the scene, showing how deeply personal these finishes are. Will Doctor (2:32–25:46) pivots: “Golf is not some game… It is life and death for most of these guys.” That statement underscores career volatility across the DP World Tour, Korn Ferry, and PGA Tour fall. Ryder Cup selections—Lowry, Straka, Åberg, Hovland, Rahm, Fitzpatrick—illustrate the difficulty of breaking through. Lawrence’s resume, with five DP World Tour wins and streaky putting, shows how volatility drives outcomes: he went from missed cuts to a top-four at Sudal before surging. Betting context is backed by numbers: +2.1 units last week, 20.9 units on the season. Player stats matter—Nikolai Højgaard went 73–67, missing the cut by two with costly doubles including OB on 7, inflating his driving stats despite foul balls. Rasmus Højgaard fired a Sunday 62, notching 24 birdies and an eagle, nearly forcing a playoff but undone by a double Thursday. Välimäki has two runner-ups in three starts and four rounds of 67 or better last week with all clubs clicking. Lindell cashed a matchup over Eugenio Chikara, who missed the cut. Side notes—an Oasis concert and Felix Auger Aliassime’s upset at Armstrong—reinforce the theme that momentum fuels performance. Irish Open preview: The K Club stretches over 7,300 yards with 15 water hazards, demanding precision on approach and a confident putter on undulating greens. Driving accuracy is less vital than second-shot brilliance. Historical scoring—McIlroy 12-under in 2016, Norman 14-under in 2023—signals moderate winning totals. Market outlook: Rory at +425 is passed on after BMW 12th and Tour Championship 23rd, where putting and short game regressed. Tyrrell Hatton at 14-1 is avoided after no top-20 in four starts and prior missed cuts here. Marco Ping at 16-1 is faded on regressing irons and cold putter despite headline results. The actionable card: Shane Lowry 16-1 outright, backed by elite approach play and a resurgent putter, plus deep history at home including T3 here last year. Rasmus Niergaard-Peterson, with three straight top-16s and nearly +2 on approach last week, is a top-10 bet at +187 and favored in a matchup over Keita Nakajima, whose approach play is negative and chipping shaky. Sleeper Andy Sullivan is a top-10 at 5-1 after strong ball striking and putting through Scotland (17th), Nexo (7th), Danish (16th), and 5th at the Belfry, with The K Club minimizing his lack of distance. Best bet: Lowry top-10 at +150. The show closes urging listeners to use code PUT25 at Pregame for picks and to follow @drmedia59, with a preview of the BMW PGA at Wentworth next week.

From 1:45 Munaf confirms the show will move to a once-per-week schedule now that football is here, but assures fans that MLB playoff coverage is locked in. At 3:18 they dive into the first matchup, Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals. Munaf highlights Mitchell Parker’s struggles while Griffin emphasizes Miami’s improved form but admits the price is tough to justify. By 5:34 the New York Mets vs Detroit Tigers discussion turns into a critique of Casey Mize’s numbers and the shaky Tigers bullpen, with both leaning toward the over. At 9:12 they cover Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Leiter’s inexperience and Arizona’s offensive power are discussed, with Zach Gallen’s desert struggles also noted. Munaf points to Gallant’s home ERA issues, leaving room for Texas value. By 12:25 Baltimore Orioles vs San Diego Padres shifts to Cade Povich’s inconsistency and San Diego’s bullpen strength, leaving both hesitant to back the pricey Padres money line. At 15:34 the Dodgers vs Pirates brings Shohei Ohtani into focus. Griffin leans slightly toward Pittsburgh value but Munaf stresses Ohtani’s upside and recent improvement. They explore how the Dodgers might deploy him in October. At 19:48 Toronto Blue Jays vs Cincinnati Reds brings Shane Bieber’s post-surgery resurgence into the spotlight, with Munaf impressed by Bieber’s control. They suggest backing Toronto despite Cincinnati’s hitter-friendly park. By 23:19 the Mariners vs Rays matchup shows George Kirby’s control versus Adrian Houser’s regression. Griffin leans toward Tampa Bay at home while Munaf likes the under. At 29:23 the Braves vs Cubs features Bryce Elder’s volatility and Horton’s blister issues, leading to interest in an over. At 32:23 the Phillies vs Brewers matchup becomes a highlight. Both analyze Aaron Nola and Jose Quintana, ultimately agreeing Philadelphia offers value as an underdog. At 37:12 the White Sox vs Twins matchup centers on Gomez versus prospect Zevi Matthews, with Munaf leaning over 8.5 as both pitchers have struggled. At 39:48 Athletics vs Cardinals brings Jeffrey Springs vs Matthew Liberatore, with both siding with Oakland as the sharper play. At 43:02 Yankees vs Astros highlights Jason Alexander’s success in Houston’s rotation, with Munaf backing the Astros as a plus-money home side. At 47:33 Giants vs Rockies ends the game breakdown. Coors Field and Robbie Ray’s unpredictability lead to an over lean. At 49:26 best bets are revealed: Griffin selects the Phillies as a live underdog while Munaf goes with White Sox vs Twins over 8.5. They close at 52:44 by reminding listeners of the Pregame.com promo code and the importance of contest participation. This preview delivers actionable insight on pitching matchups, bullpen depth, and lineup form. The commentary blends betting strategy with game analysis, showing where value might lie in money lines, run lines, totals, and first-five opportunities. With the playoff race heating up, the focus is on identifying underdog value, fading over-priced arms, and trusting teams with proven bats and bullpens. The conclusion is clear: Wednesday’s card offers a mix of live dogs and high-scoring opportunities, led by the Phillies against the Brewers and offensive potential in White Sox vs Twins .

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for this holiday weekend. College football opened with the intensity fans expect, and the week one slate stretched across Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. From powerhouse matchups to underdog angles, this breakdown delivered insight into key games, quarterback storylines, and best bets to carry into the long weekend. The conversation began with the reminder that winning comes down to outblocking, outtackling, and outhustling opponents, setting the tone for a high-energy weekend. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith guided the preview, starting with Texas at Ohio State. The Buckeyes entered as one-point favorites at home with a 47.5 total, but Texas had the advantage of returning proven playmakers. Arch Manning’s first season as a starter drew national attention, and Lonte argued his mobility and Sarkisian’s play-calling would give the Longhorns an edge. Ohio State’s receivers, led by Jeremiah Smith, remained the most dangerous unit in the nation, but the loss of eight defensive starters raised questions. Texas’ ability to limit Smith in their last meeting suggested value on the road dog. Arch Manning’s development dominated the early discussion. While Griffin expressed concern about his limited experience and struggles in past big games, Lonte projected solid numbers, predicting over 250 passing yards, 40 rushing yards, and multiple scores. The noon kickoff in Columbus might soften the hostile environment, but the Longhorns’ more established identity contrasted with Ohio State’s uncertainty at quarterback and coordinator roles. The preview moved to Clemson versus LSU, where the Tigers were slight underdogs in Death Valley. Brian Kelly’s 0-3 record in openers and LSU’s secondary issues made Clemson the sharper side. Lonte emphasized Clemson’s depth at wide receiver and a defensive line anchored by T.J. Parker and Peter Woods. LSU’s rebuilt offensive line posed risks against one of the nation’s toughest fronts. The projection leaned toward Clemson winning convincingly, 35-20. Sunday’s slate featured Virginia Tech against South Carolina in Atlanta. With the Hokies catching 7.5 points, Lonte saw a live underdog ready to upset. Brent Pry’s job security hung in the balance, but the improved defense and veteran secondary could exploit South Carolina’s turnover-prone quarterback and depleted defense. Griffin noted the value of the extra hook at +7.5 and questioned whether South Carolina’s rating leaned too heavily on last year’s upset of Clemson. The second Sunday matchup reignited the Notre Dame–Miami rivalry. The Hurricanes, slight 2.5-point underdogs, offered another opportunity to back a first-year starter. CJ Carr surprisingly won the Irish job, but against Miami’s experienced defense, his debut looked vulnerable. With Carson Beck running Miami’s offense and the potential to establish balance with the ground game, the Hurricanes appeared poised for an outright win. Notre Dame’s playoff pedigree and elite defense justified their short favorite status, yet uncertainty at quarterback suggested Miami’s value. Best bets closed the show. Lonte went off the board with Florida State +7 in the first half against Alabama, banking on a fired-up Seminoles squad against a young Tide quarterback. Griffin backed Virginia Tech +7.5, trusting the Hokies to stay within a touchdown or pull the outright upset. Both analysts highlighted quarterback transitions, defensive mismatches, and betting value in the opening weekend. From Arch Manning’s debut to Clemson’s defensive line dominance, Virginia Tech’s upset bid, and Miami’s chance to shock Notre Dame, the first true college football weekend showcased why bettors and fans alike circle these dates every year.

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk fantasy football. As the NFL season kicks off, Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down the NFC South and NFC West, offering draft guidance and player analysis. The show opens at 0:06 with excitement for opening week and reminders that waiver-wire overreactions always follow the first Thursday night breakout. At 2:40, focus shifts to the Atlanta Falcons. Michael Pettis Jr. stabilizes the quarterback role, while Bijan Robinson headlines as a top-three overall pick. His rushing and pass-catching volume project double-digit touchdowns. Drake London should thrive with better quarterback play, and Kyle Pitts remains a question mark. Darnell Mooney is a late flyer, but most fantasy value lies in Robinson and London. By 7:30 the Carolina Panthers come up. Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle split carries in a limited offense, while rookie Xavier Legette is a deep bench stash. Bryce Young’s development remains uncertain, making this roster risky for fantasy. At 11:45 the Saints enter the conversation. Alvin Kamara stays productive in PPR formats, but Spencer Rattler’s inexperience raises doubts. Chris Olave is talented but perhaps overpriced at his current draft spot. Juwan Johnson and Rashid Shaheed struggle for fantasy trust, leaving New Orleans with few safe options. At 15:50, Tampa Bay looks more intriguing. Baker Mayfield finished top-five in fantasy points last year and still has Mike Evans. Chris Godwin’s injury opens the door for Emeka Egbuka, while Bucky Irving offers strong RB1 potential after averaging 5.4 yards per carry with added receiving value. He is climbing draft boards as a mid-round gem. At 22:30 the Arizona Cardinals take center stage. Marvin Harrison Jr. is the clear WR1, with Trey McBride commanding heavy targets. James Conner remains the backfield anchor. Michael Wilson and Zay Jones offer little draft appeal, keeping the offense top-heavy. Seattle’s backfield battle begins at 25:16. Kenneth Walker holds the starting job, yet Zach Charbonnet nearly matched his production on fewer carries and was more efficient. With 433 yards and six touchdowns in games without Walker, Charbonnet could emerge as a red-zone force. Draft value favors him in the mid-rounds. At 31:05 the Rams discussion turns to Matthew Stafford, now paired with Davante Adams and Puka Nacua after Cooper Kupp’s departure. Adams should thrive again with quarterback stability, while Kyren Williams remains the lead back. Tutu Atwell lacks touchdown production and is best left undrafted. The 49ers segment at 36:40 highlights familiar injury woes. Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are sidelined, elevating Ricky Pearsall as Brock Purdy’s top target. Pearsall’s ADP has surged, while Skyy Moore becomes a final-round stash or early waiver pickup. Christian McCaffrey is still the centerpiece, but health concerns loom large. The show closes at 44:49 with draft strategy. Running backs remain scarce, making early-round investment smart, though managers must “read the room” as picks unfold. Quarterbacks should be drafted early in superflex leagues but can be delayed in single-QB formats where value often appears later. Ultimately, building the team you want, targeting opportunity, and staying adaptable leads to fantasy football success. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Wednesday. The latest Dream Preview baseball breakdown opened with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner reviewing tough recent beats before diving into Thursday’s slate of Major League Baseball action. Early frustrations centered on bullpen management, where questionable decisions cost winning tickets. Griffin highlighted Bruce Bochy’s choices with the Rangers, while Munaf recapped Jeff Hoffman’s collapse for Toronto. Both acknowledged the natural ebb and flow of a long season but emphasized how frustrating late-game implosions can be when handicapping results were correct until the ninth inning. Attention then shifted to Thursday’s card. The first matchup was Boston at Baltimore. Garrett Crochet’s dominance, particularly on the road, was contrasted with Cade Povich’s struggles at Camden Yards. With Boston in the playoff chase and Baltimore fading, the Red Sox were positioned as strong run-line value. From there the crew evaluated Arizona against Milwaukee, with concerns about the Brewers’ bullpen health and Jose Quintana’s crafty veteran presence. Both leaned toward expecting runs given Milwaukee’s offensive consistency at home. Houston hosting Colorado drew skepticism about laying a steep moneyline price on the Astros when their offense has sputtered. Kyle Freeland’s road history pointed to unders, though the panel admitted Houston needed wins to stay in the AL West race. Pittsburgh at St. Louis prompted a lean toward the under, with Miles Mikolas much stronger at home and Braxton Ashcraft offering upside. The Cubs and Giants series was pegged as a pitcher’s duel between Shota Imanaga and Logan Webb, with a likely under in a low-scoring Oracle Park day game. Atlanta at Philadelphia carried the most intrigue. Cal Quantrill’s move to the Braves and Aaron Nola’s inconsistency created an opening for offense. Both analysts saw double-digit potential and pointed to recent totals easily exceeding posted numbers. The Phillies’ injury issues, especially losing Zach Wheeler, added to the uncertainty but suggested their bullpen would be heavily tested. The evening spotlight was Yankees versus White Sox. Will Warren’s inexperience and Davis Martin’s limited ceiling pointed to offense in Chicago. With both defenses prone to errors and suspect bullpens, the over nine was recommended, while the White Sox as home underdogs were noted as live if their bats clicked. The missing line revealed Mets versus Marlins, with Clay Holmes favored to control the matchup but bullpen risks keeping the over attractive. Best bets were locked in at the end. Griffin chose Yankees–White Sox over nine, citing unreliable pitching and defense. Munaf went with Boston -1.5 behind Crochet’s stellar road form against a struggling Povich. They closed with reminders about Pregame promotions, including a college football contest and Griffin’s discounted 30-day package. Overall the podcast combined raw reactions to recent heartbreakers with sharp handicapping of Thursday’s board. The hosts stressed the importance of finding value across moneylines, run lines, and totals while acknowledging baseball’s volatility. Their insight showed how bullpen management, pitcher splits, and situational motivation shape betting strategy. For bettors tracking MLB daily, this episode offered guidance across multiple matchups and reinforced why patience, discipline, and line shopping remain essential for long-term profit Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Omega European Masters -Discussing top 9 on odds board -1 matchup -2 t10's -2 outrights (16/1 & 18/1) -Sleeper, Best Bet The Golf Preview Podcast on Pregame’s Network (0:12 – 0:29) set the stage for this week’s deep dive into PGA Tour and DP World Tour betting picks. Host Will Doctor brought sharp insights, beginning with the headline story of Tommy Fleetwood’s first PGA Tour win at Eastlake, a monumental 2025 moment for golf betting fans. From Memphis to the BMW, Fleetwood’s heartbreaks turned into motivation, showing resilience and class (0:39 – 9:23). Doctor highlighted upcoming DP World Tour action, including the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, where Matt Wallace defends in the Swiss Alps. With Matthew Fitzpatrick at 9-1, Alex Noren at 14-1, and Aaron Rai at 16-1, the field is stacked. He also previewed the Irish Open, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, and the high-stakes Korn Ferry Tour Finals with thirty PGA Tour cards on the line, key storylines shaping fall golf betting. Alex Noren (9:23 – 9:49) celebrated his first victory in seven years, returning from injury with elite iron play and renewed confidence. Will Doctor noted profitable tickets cashed on Fitzpatrick and Smylie, while Rasmus Højgaard locked in his Ryder Cup spot despite missed chances (9:49 – 11:04). Fleetwood’s breakthrough was the season’s most-watched non-major, with over 4.4 million viewers, a massive data point for PGA Tour betting relevance. Fleetwood’s own reflection (11:05 – 11:30) captured the moment: one win as the foundation for many. Yet betting cards saw setbacks with Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Åberg falling short (11:31 – 39:00). Only Sam Burns delivered, finishing top ten and strengthening his Ryder Cup candidacy. Doctor analyzed Ryder Cup projections, calling for Scheffler, Schauffele, Henley, English, DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin, and Sam Burns to form Team USA, while Cantlay’s runner-up finish secured his place. Team Europe, led by Luke Donald, is anchored by Rory McIlroy, Fleetwood, Rose, Hatton, and Højgaard, with Lowry, Straka, Åberg, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, and Rahm likely filling out the roster. The Omega European Masters odds board was then dissected in detail. Fitzpatrick’s strong form made him one to watch but not a pre-tournament bet at 9-1. Noren at 14-1 presented elite value, while Aaron Rai’s struggles with the putter kept him off Doctor’s card. The spotlight shifted to the Højgaard twins, with Nicolai at 16-1 and Rasmus at 18-1, both primed to contend at altitude. Marco Penge’s explosive driving but inconsistent putting made him a risky choice. Wyndham Clark at 25-1 drew intrigue, though erratic driving raised concerns. In betting matchups, Oliver Lindell over Yuki Ichikawa emerged as a sharp play. Doctor’s official card closed with Noren to top ten at +125, Rasmus Højgaard to top ten at +187, Nicolai Højgaard outright at 16-1, Rasmus outright at 18-1, Sami Välimäki as a sleeper to top ten at +350, and Nicolai Højgaard to top ten as the best bet at +162. These Omega European Masters picks provide actionable golf betting insights backed by recent form, strokes gained data, and Ryder Cup momentum. The Golf Preview Podcast (ending timestamp) delivered a comprehensive breakdown of PGA Tour betting, DP World Tour odds, Ryder Cup team construction, and European Masters predictions. For golf fans and bettors alike, the combination of statistical insight, player performance analysis, and betting recommendations made this preview essential. Pregame’s coverage positioned the Omega European Masters as a premier betting opportunity in late summer golf, where smart wagering strategies could turn form analysis into profitable outcomes.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Tuesday betting. The latest MLB Tuesday betting preview from RJ Bell’s Dream Preview podcast, hosted by Munaf Manji with Griffin Warner, sets the stage for a critical slate of late-August matchups as teams position themselves for the postseason. The episode dives deep into 14 games on the betting board, breaking down pitching matchups, recent team form, and value spots for bettors. Manji and Warner are riding an 83% hot streak on best bets, going 10–2 in their last 12, and their confidence and banter drive an engaging analysis that blends sharp betting insight with humor and strong statistical breakdowns. The show begins with Red Sox vs Orioles, where Lucas Giolito’s improved form and Kyle Braddish’s return from Tommy John make Boston and the over intriguing plays. The Braves vs Marlins matchup highlights Sandy Alcantara’s struggles, with Warner leaning to the home underdog Marlins and the over on 7.5 runs. In Rays vs Guardians, Shane Baz’s road splits and Cleveland’s sputtering offense create strong value on Tampa Bay plus money. The Yankees vs Nationals discussion centers on Luis Gil’s control issues and the Yankees’ defensive problems, leading both analysts toward overs rather than trusting either side. Toronto vs Minnesota showcases Chris Bassett’s dominant home record against Bailey Ober’s brutal losing streak, making the Blue Jays run line their clear best bet of the day. The Mets remain a “fade” team, with Sean Manaea’s poor record and Jesus Luzardo’s strong history against New York cementing Philadelphia as the sharper side. Brewers vs Diamondbacks is pegged as a potential shootout, with Jacob Misiorowski’s walk issues and Arizona’s power threats pointing to an over. Royals vs White Sox highlights Chicago’s lack of offense despite Martin Pérez’s decent outings, pushing Kansas City as the stronger side. Other key breakdowns include Pirates vs Cardinals (leaning over), Angels vs Rangers (under 8.5 tabbed as Warner’s best bet despite Corbin’s volatility), and Astros vs Rockies (only playable through alternate run lines given Houston’s -315 price). Padres vs Mariners positions Dylan Cease as a value underdog against a hittable Luis Castillo, while Cubs vs Giants trends under behind Matthew Boyd’s road splits and Justin Verlander’s home tendencies. The card wraps with Reds vs Dodgers, where Nick Martinez’s inconsistency and Clayton Kershaw’s diminished form suggest the over nine runs is the sharper angle. Beyond game analysis, the hosts highlight Pregame.com promotions, including a Beat Greg Shaker college football contest with $1,000 in prizes and a 20% sitewide discount using the promo code SLUGGER20. This synergy between MLB betting insights, college football contests, and broader handicapping content reinforces Pregame’s role as a hub for sharp sports betting information. From an editorial perspective, the podcast succeeds by pairing statistical depth with practical wagering advice, appealing both to seasoned bettors and newer fans seeking guidance. The mix of trends, fantasy baseball angles, and promotional tie-ins keeps the content dynamic. My commentary is that the show’s value lies not just in picks, but in its process: highlighting faulty lines, identifying exploitable splits, and stressing the importance of context when interpreting numbers. The betting insights are actionable, but the broader lesson is that line shopping, injury context, and market awareness are as crucial as raw stats. Late-August baseball handicapping, with best bets on Blue Jays run line and Angels vs Rangers under anchoring a comprehensive breakdown. As playoff races tighten, bettors get both sharp picks and a reminder of Pregame.com’s broader offerings, making it a must-listen for anyone serious about MLB odds, betting strategies, and value plays heading into September.

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFC North and East fantasy football The NFC North and NFC East positional battles are shaping 2024 fantasy football draft strategy with a mix of clarity and confusion. As Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down both divisions, the key takeaway is knowing which stars are safe investments and which depth battles are draft traps . In the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys’ running back room is a muddle. Javonte Williams has underwhelmed, Miles Sanders is fading, and rookie Phil Mafah flashes upside but remains a stash candidate. The safest play is to avoid this backfield altogether. Washington, by contrast, offers stability with Jayden Daniels and Austin Ekeler, who now owns the backfield after Brian Robinson Jr.’s trade. Debo Samuel joins Terry McLaurin to form a strong receiving duo. The New York Giants are plagued by quarterback chaos with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jackson Dart all in play; only rookie Malik Nabers stands out as a reliable draft target. The Philadelphia Eagles remain an embarrassment of riches—Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley are all fantasy football studs . In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears spark debate at tight end. Cole Kmet is being overtaken by rookie Colston Loveland, who fits new coach Ben Johnson’s system. Detroit offers no real surprises—Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs are locked-in fantasy starters. Green Bay remains frustrating: Jaden Reed is technically the WR1, but tight end Tucker Kraft, with seven touchdowns and strong YAC production, is the most reliable late-round target. Minnesota is headlined by Justin Jefferson, but Jordan Addison’s suspension and injuries elsewhere leave T.J. Hockenson as a must-have. Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy is being drafted higher than Trevor Lawrence, a puzzling ADP that highlights both risk and hype . From a fantasy football draft perspective, managers should avoid crowded backfields like Dallas and unstable quarterback situations like New York. Proven stars from Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Minnesota are priority picks. Emerging tight ends such as Loveland and Kraft are prime late-round sleepers. Monitoring waiver wires in September will be critical as depth battles settle. SEO-rich terms: NFL fantasy football draft strategy, NFC East sleepers, NFC North fantasy battles, Dallas Cowboys running backs, Washington Commanders fantasy outlook, New York Giants quarterback controversy, Philadelphia Eagles fantasy stars, Chicago Bears tight end battle, Detroit Lions fantasy studs, Green Bay Packers wide receiver depth, Minnesota Vikings fantasy football values. The 2024 fantasy football season won’t just be decided by first-rounders like Justin Jefferson or Saquon Barkley. League winners will come from reading these positional battles correctly, targeting volume, and jumping fast on waiver-wire value once the season begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA offseason moves and much more. The NBA offseason has been anything but quiet, with retirements, betting controversies, and opening night matchups fueling headlines. John Wall officially retired after an injury-filled career that began with promise in Washington, while Derrick Rose will have his No. 1 jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls, honoring his MVP peak before injuries changed his trajectory. Off-court drama also made waves as Malik Beasley was cleared in a federal gambling investigation, reopening his free agency with interest from the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The case highlighted growing concerns over NBA betting integrity, with discussions about limiting unders on fringe players after scandals involving Jonte Porter. Opening night brings high drama. The Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off their championship, host the Houston Rockets, who now feature Kevin Durant in a stunning return to OKC. Oddsmakers list the Thunder as 6.5-point favorites, backed by continuity, elite net rating, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP form. Analysts expect Durant and Jalen Green to thrive in Houston but caution that defensive chemistry will take time after trading away Dillon Brooks. The second marquee game pits the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler headline a Warriors roster built on stability, while the Lakers counter with Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James at age 41. Experts argue Golden State is undervalued, pointing to their cohesion and defensive strength compared to the Lakers’ questionable fit and reliance on Luka’s offense. Debate then shifted to overrated and underrated stars entering the 2025–26 season. Anthony Edwards, despite highlight dunks and hype, was criticized for inconsistency, limited playmaking, and average defense in key playoff series. Trae Young’s efficiency, turnovers, and defensive liability made him another overrated pick, while LeBron James was called statistically brilliant yet less impactful on winning at this stage of his career. Ja Morant’s injuries and lack of reliable shooting lowered his stock, and even fan-favorite Alex Caruso was labeled overrated due to inflated advanced metrics. On the underrated side, Joel Embiid was deemed far too low on rankings despite injury concerns, still a dominant force when healthy. Orlando’s Franz Wagner was praised for versatility, scoring, and leadership alongside Paolo Banchero, positioning him as a rising top-15 talent. Jalen Williams of the Thunder was highlighted as a two-way star capable of being more than a Robin, while Bam Adebayo’s defense and potential offensive leap could transform Miami. Even Steph Curry, though widely respected, was argued to remain underrated for the way he elevates teammates. The podcast closed with betting insights. The Los Angeles Clippers were recommended at -8 over the rebuilding Utah Jazz, given depth, continuity, and elite defense led by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Another best bet circled the Toronto Raptors +6 against the Atlanta Hawks, citing Brandon Ingram’s addition, improved depth, and Atlanta’s poor record as home favorites. As the 2025–26 season approaches, the NBA’s mix of star power, betting intrigue, and opening-night storylines ensures drama on and off the court. From Durant’s OKC return to debates over Edwards, Young, and Embiid, fans and bettors alike have plenty to watch. The association never sleeps, and this season promises to be another defining chapter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor, the sharpest golf handicapper in the game, is back with a loaded episode breaking down everything from Ryder Cup scenarios to this week’s Tour Championship and British Masters betting boards. Doc starts by recapping the BMW Championship and Danish Golf Championship before diving into the Tour Championship at East Lake, analyzing the top four names on the odds board. From there, he gives out two picks to place, one outright winner, and one outright winner without Scottie Scheffler, his sleeper of the week. The East Lake preview wraps up with two DFS lineups, a scoring prediction, and Doc’s best bet. Stick around until the end as Doc takes you across the pond for the BetFred British Masters, giving out an outright, a matchup, a Top 10, and his best bet of the week. The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake marks the season finale with a fresh twist: no more staggered scoring. All thirty players begin at even par, turning this into a true head-to-head battle for a $40 million purse and the FedEx Cup trophy. Scottie Scheffler arrives as the clear favorite after winning the BMW for his fifth victory of the year. His numbers are staggering: thirteen straight top-8 finishes, five wins, two majors, and a putter that has finally come alive under Phil Kenyon. At +180 odds he’s expected to dominate, and he could become the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion. Challengers include Rory McIlroy, a three-time winner here, though his driving has been erratic. Viktor Hovland, champion in 2023, has regained form with strong approach play and improved putting. If the forecasted rain softens the greens, he could thrive. Rising star Ludvig Åberg looks primed for a breakthrough after stringing together flawless all-around stats, and Sam Burns carries momentum from a top finish at the BMW while fighting for a Ryder Cup spot. Ryder Cup implications loom large. Europe’s lineup is mostly settled, with McIlroy, Hovland, Rose, Hatton, Fleetwood, Lowry, Straka, and Åberg locked in. Rasmus Højgaard’s recent run secures his place, while Matthew Fitzpatrick looks safe despite a poor Cup record. For Team USA, the top six are set, but captain Keegan Bradley must decide among Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Bradley himself, Brian Harman, Griffin, and McNeely. East Lake is the final audition, with Burns and Cameron Young also capable of forcing their way in. Scheffler is the man to beat, but East Lake has a history of drama — Rory’s comeback in 2022, Hovland’s weather-delayed win in 2023, Tiger’s unforgettable 2018 victory. This week feels just as loaded. Expect Scheffler to contend for another trophy, but the bigger story may be which players punch their Ryder Cup tickets and who is left behind when the teams head to Bethpage.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest cards for the Black Desert Championship and Open De France. -Going over top 5 odds favs for Black Desert, -3 matchups, -1 t20, -2 outrights, -Sleeper, FRP, -Scoring prediction, -Best bet for Black Desert, -Open De France matchup, outright, and best bet Will Doctor kicks off the podcast by reviewing the Sanderson Farms Championship and Dunhill Links Championship, followed by his predictions for the upcoming Black Desert Championship. Key Player Highlights: Kevin Yu: Secured his first PGA Tour win after a clutch 15-foot birdie putt in regulation. He climbed to 60th in the FedExCup standings. His stellar junior and college career at Arizona State laid the foundation for this victory. Keith Mitchell: Disappointed after missing out on a playoff due to poor driving and a three-putt on the 72nd hole. Mitchell admitted, “I only hit one fairway,” reflecting his back-nine struggles. Will Doctor points out that Mitchell’s driving accuracy will be less of an issue at the wide-open Black Desert course, but his putting remains a concern. Bo Hosler: Known for strong putting, Hosler lost the Sanderson Farms playoff, and his attempts to manipulate relief rulings raised eyebrows. Will criticizes Hosler for "trying to get an unfair drop," casting doubt on his ability to close out tournaments, especially since he's yet to secure a professional win. Event and Course Insights: The Black Desert Championship returns the PGA Tour to Utah for the first time in 60 years. The course has wide fairways and few hazards, likely leading to a birdie-fest. Will predicts a winning score of 29-under-par and emphasizes that driving accuracy won't be crucial this week. Picks and Predictions: Outright Picks: Lucas Glover (40:1): Despite a tough 2024 season, Glover’s recent form and improved putting make him a strong contender. Will believes his ball-striking prowess and past success set him up for a solid performance. Michael Thorbjornsen (40:1): Thorbjornsen’s ball-striking and ability to excel in birdie-heavy tournaments make him another strong pick. Top 20 Pick: Patton Kizzire: Known for thriving in birdie-fests, Kizzire’s consistent form makes him a solid choice for a top-20 finish at +240 odds. Matchups: Ryan Fox over Steven Yeager: Fox’s strong recent form and consistent play give him an edge. K.H. Lee over Justin Suh: Will favors Lee’s experience in shootouts, while Suh’s ball-striking has been subpar this season. Vince Whaley over Matt McCarty: Whaley’s recent improvement in approach play and McCarty’s struggles transitioning to the PGA Tour lead Will to back Whaley. Best Bet and Final Scoring Prediction: Best Bet: Lucas Glover to finish in the top 10 at +450 odds. Winning Score Prediction: 29-under-par due to the course’s forgiving nature and birdie opportunities. Will Doctor wraps up with his thoughts on the Open de France , giving an outright pick of Victor Perez to win at 28:1 and backing Justin Rose over Matthew Pavan in a head-to-head matchup.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Korn Ferry Tour Championship! -Top 5 favs for Dunhill -2 matchups for Dunhill -1 t10 for Dunhill -2 outrights for Dunhill -Dunhill best bet -KFT Championship outright -KFT Championship best bet Summary Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Jon Rahm (0:54 - 5:20) Jon Rahm opens at +650, fresh off a second-place finish at the Open de España. Despite his strong recent form, Will Doctor passes on Rahm due to the unpredictable nature of his game and the ongoing conflict between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Rahm's excellent play over the past month is acknowledged, but his missed cut at this event in 2019 and distractions from the LIV-PGA dispute make him a risky pick. Rory McIlroy (5:21 - 10:30) McIlroy, priced at +700, has several near-wins this season, including a playoff loss at the BMW PGA Championship. His putting has been outstanding, but Will Doctor is concerned about potential distractions as McIlroy is paired with prominent figures in the pro-am. Despite McIlroy’s stellar form and strong history at the Dunhill, Will Doctor opts to skip him this week, but favors McIlroy over Rahm. Tyrrell Hatton vs. Tommy Fleetwood (11:00 - 16:00) Hatton, priced at 11-1, has won this event twice but has struggled with slow starts this year. Will Doctor backs Hatton in a matchup against Fleetwood, whose poor putting and recent finishes (no better than 22nd) at the Dunhill raise concerns. Fleetwood’s past success at the Dunhill, including multiple second-place finishes, is overshadowed by recent struggles. Shane Lowry (16:01 - 18:00) Lowry, priced at 20-1, is passed over due to his subpar putting. Despite strong ball striking, Will Doctor believes Lowry’s struggles on the greens will keep him from contending this week. Robert MacIntyre vs. Shane Lowry (18:01 - 21:00) Will Doctor picks MacIntyre over Lowry in a matchup, citing MacIntyre’s recent solid play, including a win at the Scottish Open and multiple top finishes. MacIntyre’s consistent driving and putting make him a safer pick than Lowry. Grant Forrest (22:00 - 25:00) Forrest is Will Doctor’s first outright pick, priced at 80-1. His recent form, including top-10 finishes at the Irish Open and Open de España, along with strong past performances at the Dunhill, make him a contender. Will Doctor also picks Forrest for a top-10 finish at +375. Tom McKibben (25:01 - 27:00) McKibben, at 60-1, is another outright pick. Despite recent struggles, McKibben’s strong driving and iron play are highlighted as key strengths. His 10th-place finish at the BMW PGA signals a return to form, making him a value bet for this week. Best Bet: Nicholas Norgaard Over Patrick Reed (27:01 - 30:00) Norgaard is chosen over Reed at -115. Norgaard’s recent win at the British Masters and strong play over the past month make him a reliable pick, while Reed’s top-10 finish last week is attributed mostly to luck with putting. Korn Ferry Tour Championship John Pak (30:01 - 33:00) Pak, priced at 45-1, is Will Doctor’s outright pick. Pak has shown recent improvement, finishing in the top 15 in his last two starts. Will Doctor believes Pak is well-positioned to win and secure a PGA Tour card. Isaiah Salenda (33:01 - 35:00) Salenda is Will Doctor’s best bet for a top-20 finish at +320. His long drives make him well-suited for the demanding Pete Dye course, and Will Doctor expects him to rebound after a missed cut last week. Conclusion Will Doctor closes by encouraging listeners to stay tuned for more coverage and to review his Sanderson Farms Championship preview. His picks for the Alfred Dunhill Links and Korn Ferry Tour Championship offer a mix of well-researched matchups, outright winners, and best bets to guide bettors for the upcoming tournaments.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Sanderson Farms Championship. -Discussing top five favorites at CC of Jackson -3 matchups -2 t10 -2 outrights -Sleeper -FRP, lineup, scoring -Best Bet Introduction and Overview Will Doctor introduces the Golf Preview Podcast with an energetic focus on the Sanderson Farms Championship , Alfred Dunhill Links Championship , and the Corn Fairy Tour Championship . This episode centers on providing expert picks and betting insights for the Sanderson Farms Championship held at the Country Club of Jackson . Tournament Breakdown Sanderson Farms Championship Overview Will reflects on the recent Presidents Cup , where Team USA won 18.5 to 11.5, with some controversy involving Tom Kim . He then dives into player analysis for the Sanderson Farms Championship , assessing top players, their odds, and recent performances. Player Analysis Keith Mitchell At 25-to-1 odds , Mitchell is questioned as a favorite due to missing the cut all four times at Jackson. Despite two recent top-12 finishes, his season has been underwhelming. Will advises against betting on him. Seamus Power Power is also 25-to-1 but fares slightly better due to his global experience. However, poor iron play in recent events diminishes his chances, making him a risky pick. Maverick McNeely Listed at 28-to-1 , McNeely’s inconsistency and poor recent performances make him a risky choice. Will believes his odds should be higher. Mackenzie Hughes Despite winning this tournament two years ago, Hughes’ poor performance at the Presidents Cup makes Will pass on him at 28-to-1 odds, citing fatigue and inconsistent form. Nick Dunlop At 30-to-1 , Dunlop is a promising young player with strong birdie conversion rates. Will sees potential in Dunlop but acknowledges the risks due to his inexperience. Key Matchups and Predictions Nick Dunlop vs. Eric Cole Will picks Dunlop over Cole at -140 odds, noting Cole’s poor driving and iron play compared to Dunlop’s consistency. Henrik Norlander vs. Chandler Phillips Norlander, with three top-four finishes at Jackson, is favored due to his course familiarity. Will backs Norlander at even money . Rico Hoey vs. Sam Stevens Hoey is favored at -105 over Stevens, given Hoey’s sharp iron play and Stevens’ struggles throughout the 2024 season. Outright Picks Patrick Fishburne At 35-to-1 , Fishburne’s strong putting and consistent fairway play make him one of Will’s top picks for an outright win. His recent form has been impressive. Grayson Sig Priced at 90-to-1 , Sig’s familiarity with Jackson and solid recent performances position him as a good value pick for an outright win. Best Bet and Final Thoughts Mack Meisner Will’s best bet is Mack Meisner to finish in the top 20 at +220 odds . Despite a missed cut at Napa, Meisner’s comfort on Bermuda greens and solid iron play make him a great pick. Conclusion Will concludes with final thoughts on the Sanderson Farms Championship, offering listeners sharp picks and teasing future episodes covering the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and the Corn Fairy Tour Championship .

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers remember Pete Rose, recap the Mets/Braves double header and preview today's MLB Wild Card games and recap the Monday Night Football doubleheader. Pete Rose Tribute, MLB Postseason Recap, and NFL Monday Night Highlights In the October 1st episode of Straight Outta Vegas , Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers discuss Pete Rose's passing, MLB postseason action, and NFL Monday night results. Here’s a concise summary covering key quotes, player stats, and team insights. Pete Rose: Remembering a Legend (0:00 - 6:29) The show starts with a heartfelt tribute to Pete Rose, MLB’s all-time hits leader, who passed away at age 83. Steve Fezzik shares memories of Rose’s influence on the Cincinnati Reds' success in the 1970s. Quote Analysis : Fezzik calls Rose "the heart and soul of the Big Red Machine," reflecting on his aggressive playstyle and dedication. Rose's memorable headfirst slides and relentless approach are highlighted. Fezzik recalls Rose’s vital role in the 1975 World Series (1:33). Player Stats : Rose’s 4,256 hits and participation in 1,972 career wins set him apart as one of baseball’s all-time greats. Team Insights : Rose’s leadership and impact on the Reds helped create a dynasty, but Fezzik notes how close they came to missing a championship after losses in 1972 and 1973. Conclusion : Rose’s legacy in baseball is unquestionable. However, Seidenberg feels a Hall of Fame induction after his death would be an insufficient recognition of Rose's contributions. MLB Postseason Action: Mets vs. Braves (10:38 - 17:44) The MLB postseason is here, and Seidenberg recaps a dramatic doubleheader between the Mets and Braves, with both teams splitting the series. Quote Analysis : Seidenberg questions the Braves' decision to pull Spencer Schwellenbach after eight strong innings. "The Mets took full advantage, scoring six runs to take the lead" (10:38). Francisco Lindor’s clutch homer sealed an 8-7 victory for the Mets. Player Stats : Lindor hit the game-winning home run in Game 1, while the Braves won Game 2, 3-0, despite missing starter Chris Sale due to back spasms. Team Insights : Both teams are postseason-bound, with the split series showing the resilience and unpredictability of October baseball.

The guys discuss who they think will advance in the first round of the playoffs and much more. Quote Analysis Griffin Warner (0:53 - 1:12) : "We are officially white hot at this point." Warner emphasizes their confidence following eight consecutive winning bets, a promising lead-in to the post-season. Munaf Manji (1:13 - 2:18) : "A stress-free victory." Munaf recaps recent successful bets, setting the tone for the Wild Card discussion. His focus on analytical betting is highlighted by their choice of unders, which yielded profitable results. Griffin Warner (9:55 - 12:37) : "The Astros bullpen... I just don't trust them." Warner questions the Astros’ bullpen, highlighting the team’s inconsistency, which could be critical in the postseason. Player Statistics Tarek Skubal (Detroit Tigers) : Warner calls him the "scariest pitcher" in the playoffs, referencing his exceptional season. Skubal's Game 1 performance will be pivotal for Detroit's success. Framber Valdez (Houston Astros) : Valdez boasts a 7-2 record post-All-Star break with a 1.96 ERA. His home performance has been even better, with a 9-2 record and a 2.53 ERA, making him a key player for the Astros. Team Statistics Houston Astros : They hold a 25-21 record against left-handed pitching, and their bullpen, while improved, is still a concern. Munaf and Griffin agree that this inconsistency might hurt them in tight games. Detroit Tigers : The Tigers have struggled against left-handed pitching, going 21-12. Their weak offensive stats against lefties are a red flag as they face Valdez in Game 1. Team Insights Houston Astros : Their postseason experience gives them an advantage. With seven consecutive AL Championship Series appearances, the Astros are built for high-pressure games, despite bullpen questions. Detroit Tigers : The Tigers’ playoff appearance after ten years adds excitement, but Warner is skeptical about their chances, citing poor offense against left-handers. He views Skubal as Detroit’s main hope in Game 1. Key Matchup Analysis Astros vs. Tigers (Game 1) : Both hosts agree that this game will be closely fought. Valdez’s home form and Skubal’s dominant season set the stage for a low-scoring game. Munaf favors the Astros due to their experience, but Warner believes Skubal gives Detroit a fighting chance. Orioles vs. Royals : Warner backs the Orioles due to their powerful lineup and the Royals’ bullpen woes. He predicts a low-scoring Game 1, recommending an under bet for total runs due to strong pitching matchups. Conclusion Munaf and Griffin are optimistic about extending their winning streak into the playoffs. The Astros’ experience and Valdez’s form make them strong contenders, but the Tigers could pull an upset if Skubal delivers in Game 1. The Orioles also have a favorable matchup against the Royals, whose bullpen remains unreliable. With detailed insights, the podcast equips listeners with strategic betting advice for the Wild Card series. Timestamped Insights 0:09 - 0:52 : Munaf introduces the episode and sets up the post-season discussion. 0:53 - 1:12 : Griffin highlights their eight-game winning streak. 1:13 - 2:18 : Munaf recaps recent successful bets. 9:55 - 12:37 : Munaf expresses doubts about the Astros' bullpen. Final Takeaways Astros have the edge due to Valdez’s pitching and postseason experience. Tigers need Skubal to perform in Game 1 to have a shot at advancing. Orioles are favorites against the Royals, particularly due to Kansas City’s weak bullpen. With eight straight best bets, Munaf and Griffin hope to continue their winning form through insightful betting predictions for the Wild Card series. Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott Sidenberg (4:10 - 4:29): Quote : "The win probability was just off the charts."

Josh Towers praises Lindor for his ability to handle key situations, like making contact on a first-pitch curveball that led to his game-winning hit.

Phil Matan and Edwin Diaz were particularly shaky, contributing to the Braves' collapse.

Their performance solidified their chance at securing a postseason spot. Braves Breakdown : Despite Swellenbach pitching seven shutout innings, the Braves' bullpen collapsed late in the game. Towers critiques how the Braves mismanaged their relief pitching, especially by continuing to pitch to Lindor when a strategic walk could have been considered.

Josh argues the Mets should prefer Milwaukee over San Diego, noting the Padres' offensive strength despite their struggles.

Scott Seidenberg & Mackenzie Rivers recap all the Sunday NFL Week 4 action and preview MNF for tonight. The Mets and Braves play a double header to determine the NL Wild Card and the Knicks acquire Karl Anthony Towns. Scott Seidenberg (0:00–0:14) opens the show with a discussion of NFL underdogs continuing to thrive, going 8-4-1 on Sunday. This includes the Ravens’ rout over the Bills, where they discuss Baltimore's resurgence. Mackenzie (2:06–2:52) notes that Baltimore amassed 271 rushing yards, highlighting the team’s strength in the running game and outplaying Buffalo. Key Analysis : Seidenberg states (4:06–5:46) that Baltimore, despite a close loss to Kansas City, should be viewed as the most complete team in the NFL, with notable wins over the Cowboys and Bills. He argues that Buffalo's defensive turnovers and weak performance further boosted Baltimore’s dominance. Player Stats : Mackenzie underscores (2:52–5:03) that despite losing key players like Clowney, the Ravens maintained a formidable defense, allowing zero sacks and shutting down Josh Allen except for a miraculous touchdown. Team Stats : Ravens rank third in Super Bowl odds at 8-1, behind the Chiefs and 49ers (5:46–5:59). Major League Baseball Wild Card Scenarios: Scott Seidenberg (42:35–46:59) explains the doubleheader between the Mets and Braves, with playoff implications for both. A split between the teams secures both teams a playoff berth, but sweeps could eliminate either team. The Mets and Braves' high stakes are emphasized by the potential impact on the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are waiting on results to determine their fate. Strategy Insight : Seidenberg advises betting on the team that loses the first game of the doubleheader, predicting they will win the second game due to a lack of effort from the team that clinches their playoff spot in the opener. Other NFL Game Insights: Atlanta Falcons : Mackenzie (6:24–7:46) analyzes Atlanta’s victory over the Saints, with special teams and defensive touchdowns leading the way. Despite this, Mackenzie believes Atlanta's quarterback situation remains questionable, citing Kirk Cousins' inconsistent play. Chicago Bears : Seidenberg (8:33–10:07) discusses DeAndre Swift’s breakout performance against the Rams. Swift, who had been struggling, had 93 rushing yards and 7 receptions for 72 yards. Mackenzie notes the importance of Swift stepping up in a game where Bears' offensive line issues had been a problem all season. NBA Trade Analysis: Carl Anthony Towns to the Knicks : Mackenzie Rivers (48:30–50:51) breaks down the trade, noting that Towns adds immense value to the Knicks' offensive potential. Despite concerns about Towns’ personality and past criticisms, his ability to shoot as a seven-footer, combined with Julius Randle, could help the Knicks push for a championship. Towns’ high salary is a concern but offset by the strong contracts of other players like Jalen Brunson. Team Impact : Mackenzie points out that the Knicks' odds to win the NBA title have improved, going from 10-1 to 7.5-1, showing confidence in their roster overhaul. Conclusion: Scott Seidenberg wraps up (51:13–51:50) with a promotion for Pregame.com, offering listeners a discount with the code BIRD20.

Intro and Overview In the "Straight Outta Vegas" podcast from September 27, 2024, Scott Seidenberg and AJ Hoffman analyze key football matchups, sports news, and betting insights with a focus on the Vegas betting perspective. The Cowboys’ win over the Giants, the Giants' strategic missteps, and the upcoming weekend's NFL and college football games are discussed, alongside significant MLB updates. In-Depth Analysis of Each Quote Scott Seidenberg on Cowboys vs. Giants (0:37 - 10:09): Seidenberg breaks down the Cowboys’ 20-15 win over the Giants, highlighting statistical dominance by the Giants despite their loss. He explains the Giants’ downfall in settling for field goals instead of touchdowns and critiques Brian Dable’s decision to kick a field goal from the 3-yard line. Seidenberg emphasizes the Cowboys' more effective conversion of opportunities, pointing out how Dallas' penalties and defensive stops played a crucial role. AJ Hoffman on NIL Drama (10:10 - 11:17): Hoffman provides a nuanced take on the UNLV quarterback's decision to redshirt due to unfulfilled NIL promises, stressing the importance of formal agreements in college sports. Hoffman critiques the lack of business acumen in handling NIL deals, drawing attention to potential future issues for both players and institutions. Player Statistics and Relevant Analysis Daniel Jones (Giants): Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards, showing strong efficiency but was limited to field goals instead of touchdowns. His lone interception came on a last-play Hail Mary, which Seidenberg dismisses as a non-critical error. Dak Prescott (Cowboys): Prescott’s 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns underscore his precision and effectiveness, especially in capitalizing on scoring opportunities. His connection with Rico Dowdle (15-yard TD) and CeeDee Lamb (55-yard TD) proved decisive in the Cowboys’ victory. Brandon Aubrey (Cowboys): Aubrey made two field goals, missing a late attempt that could have sealed the game earlier, yet his role in converting field goals added crucial points. Team Statistics and Insights Giants’ Team Stats: The Giants outgained the Cowboys in yardage (303 vs. 293) and time of possession (35 minutes vs. 24 minutes), while also leading in first downs (16 vs. 14). Despite these statistical wins, their failure to convert key red zone opportunities into touchdowns proved to be the game’s decisive factor. Penalties also played a role, with the Cowboys committing 11 penalties for 89 yards, creating disruption but ultimately not altering the outcome. Cowboys’ Team Stats: Despite fewer yards and less possession, Dallas' ability to score touchdowns, particularly a 15-yard TD by Rico Dowdle and a 55-yard TD by CeeDee Lamb, cemented their lead. The Giants’ inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities allowed the Cowboys to escape with a victory, albeit with some missteps in clock management. Speaker’s Names and Timestamps Scott Seidenberg (0:37 - 10:09): Seidenberg analyzes the Cowboys’ win, the Giants’ failures, and how the Giants’ statistical superiority did not translate into a victory due to poor red zone efficiency. He critiques Brian Dable’s decision-making and highlights Dallas’ ability to convert key plays. AJ Hoffman (10:10 - 11:17): Hoffman discusses the ongoing NIL controversy surrounding UNLV’s quarterback, pointing to the need for professionalism in handling these negotiations. He also comments on the potential long-term consequences of such disputes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers preview Thursday Night Football between the Giants and Cowboys, talk about the NIL drama at UNLV and the mess that is the MLB Postseason races. Analysis of Key Quotes: Scott Seidenberg (0:00 - 1:47): Scott opens the discussion by previewing Thursday Night Football between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants , emphasizing the betting odds. The notable quote is Scott highlighting that six-point underdogs have gone 12-1 against the spread (ATS) this season. This showcases the importance of tracking trends in NFL betting. Steve Fezzik (1:50 - 2:19): Fezzik explains his dislike for money-line betting due to the large gaps between prices (bid-ask spreads). He uses an example of a minus 230 line against a plus 195 line, highlighting the non-profitable nature of such bets for casual bettors. Mackenzie Rivers (2:52 - 3:04): Mackenzie makes an interesting point that it isn’t star receiver CeeDee Lamb ’s fault for the Cowboys’ struggles, but rather their defense allowing over 200 rushing yards per game. This emphasizes the importance of analyzing specific team deficiencies when betting on or against teams like Dallas. Steve Fezzik (4:09 - 4:24): Fezzik criticizes the fluctuating betting lines. He emphasizes that even if the Cowboys were a good bet at -4.5, a jump to -6 makes it less appealing. This ties into the overall theme of line movement and its significance in betting strategy. Scott Seidenberg (12:36 - 13:14): Scott humorously compares Matthew Sluka ’s situation at UNLV to the movie Blue Chips . Sluka is redshirting due to a payment dispute related to an NIL deal. The humorous quote highlights the complexities and contradictions in the NIL system and the economic aspects of college football. Player and Team Statistics: CeeDee Lamb has been a focal point of the Cowboys’ offense, but Mackenzie Rivers stresses that defensive issues are what’s truly holding them back, as the team has given up over 200 rushing yards per game. Daniel Jones , quarterback for the New York Giants , has a historically poor record in prime-time games, going 1-13 straight up and 5-9 ATS (7:07 - 7:31). This stat creates doubt around the Giants' chances against the Cowboys in prime-time matchups. Devin Singletary , the Bills running back, is discussed as a potential key player in Thursday’s game due to the Cowboys' weak run defense. Fezzik humorously suggests considering betting on him scoring two touchdowns, adding a layer of prop bet insight. Team Insights: The discussion centers on the Cowboys' and Giants' game, with an in-depth focus on Dallas's defensive struggles and New York's potential to cover the spread. Fezzik argues that despite Dallas being a six-point favorite, New York is the smarter pick, given how poorly the Cowboys have performed recently (4:09 - 5:20). The panel also touches on other NFL teams. For instance, Scott mentions Mike McCarthy and Doug Peterson as candidates for being the first head coach fired this season (3:21 - 3:04). This shows how betting is also influenced by larger narratives around team management. Conclusion: This transcript provides insightful commentary on the upcoming NFL week, with a specific focus on the Cowboys vs. Giants game. The hosts analyze key trends in NFL betting, including team and player statistics, line movements, and prop bets. Fezzik, Seidenberg, and Rivers offer an entertaining yet informative look into both on-field performance and off-field betting strategy, making it clear that sharp bettors need to stay on top of the latest data and insights.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for all five Thursday Fourball matches for the Presidents Cup. Follow Doc on X @drmedia59 for more on the world of golf Introduction and Overview In the podcast's introduction, Will Doctor sets the stage by bringing his sharpest predictions for the PGA Tour event, the Presidents Cup (0:15–0:42). His energy and focus immediately engage listeners, promising a detailed breakdown of Thursday’s Fourball matches. The matchups feature top golfers from both the USA and international teams, with Doctor providing his take on the betting odds and insights. Match 1: Xander Schauffele & Tony Finau vs. Jason Day & Byung-hun Ahn (0:42–14:57) Doctor starts with the first match, where Schauffele and Finau are favorites at -180 on DraftKings. He questions U.S. captain Jim Furyk's decision to split Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, who have a strong history together, but he supports the flexibility of pairing Schauffele with Finau. Despite Finau’s driving accuracy issues earlier in the season, Doctor believes Finau has improved and will excel on the greens at Royal Montreal. For the opposition, Jason Day's recent struggles—finishing 33rd at the BMW Championship and failing to qualify for the Tour Championship—are highlighted. Doctor is not confident in Day's current form, pointing out his ongoing issues with driving accuracy. Ben Onn, too, has limited success in the Presidents Cup, which makes Doctor strongly favor Schauffele and Finau. Statistical Insight : Day has underperformed in the Presidents Cup, and his driving accuracy has been problematic in 7 of his last 11 events. Schauffele and Finau, on the other hand, are in good form with Finau showing late-season improvement. Prediction : Schauffele & Finau to win. Match 2: Collin Morikawa & Sahith Theegala vs. Adam Scott & Min Woo Lee (14:57–24:30) Morikawa and Theegala are slight favorites at -135. Doctor praises Theegala’s performance in the 2024 FedEx Cup and Morikawa’s solo second place at the Tour Championship. Morikawa’s consistency, with 8 top-ten finishes in 2024, makes him one of the top players in the world. Doctor, however, acknowledges Adam Scott’s determination to improve his Presidents Cup record, which currently stands at a disappointing 18-25-6. Statistical Insight : Despite Scott’s veteran status, his poor Presidents Cup record weighs heavily, while Morikawa’s consistent high-level play positions him as a key player. Theegala’s form in recent events further strengthens their chances. Prediction : Morikawa & Theegala to win. Match 3: Scottie Scheffler & Russell Henley vs. Sungjae Im & Tom Kim (24:30–32:00) Scheffler and Henley are -142 favorites. Doctor supports Furyk’s decision to pair Henley with Scheffler, noting Henley’s stellar driving accuracy (5th on the PGA Tour) and top performances in major events. On the other hand, Tom Kim's form is questioned, as his recent performances have been underwhelming, finishing 52nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Statistical Insight : Scheffler, ranked number one in the world, paired with Henley’s accuracy, makes them formidable. Conversely, Tom Kim’s struggles this season raise doubts about his ability to perform at Royal Montreal. Prediction : Scheffler & Henley to win. Match 4: Wyndham Clark & Keegan Bradley vs. Taylor Pendrith & Christiaan Bezuidenhout (32:00–38:30) Clark and Bradley are favored at -112. Doctor criticizes Mike Weir’s decision to pair Pendrith with Bezuidenhout, citing Bezuidenhout’s poor form in recent tournaments. He points to Bezuidenhout’s struggles with his driver and short game, which make the pairing less competitive against the sharp form of Clark and Bradley. Statistical Insight : Bezuidenhout’s loss of shots in four consecutive starts is a red flag. Clark and Bradley’s more consistent recent performances make them the stronger pairing. Prediction : Clark & Bradley to win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scott Seidenberg recaps last nights MLB games and their impact on the Postseason races. Plus fades for today and NFL news and notes. MLB Postseason Breakdown American League East The Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees, delaying the Yankees’ potential clinching of the AL East. The Orioles have already secured a playoff spot but are four games ahead for the first Wild Card. Zac Eflin (Orioles) will face Nestor Cortez (Yankees) in the next game, and Seidenberg suggests fading the Orioles due to their celebratory clinch the night before. Quote Analysis (9:16) : Seidenberg emphasizes fading teams like the Orioles after clinching playoff spots. This is based on historical patterns of reduced performance after celebrations, making the Yankees a better pick for the following game. Player Statistics : Zac Eflin has been reliable with a sub-3.00 ERA, while Cortez has been inconsistent, which makes this a risky fade. AL Wild Card Kansas City Royals snapped a seven-game skid with a 1-0 victory, while the Detroit Tigers continued their hot streak, winning 2-1 against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Royals and Tigers are now tied for the second and third Wild Card spots. The Royals hold the tiebreaker, putting them in a slightly better position. Team Insight : The Tigers are the hottest team since August, and the Royals are maintaining momentum, suggesting that these two teams will likely secure the last Wild Card slots. National League Wild Card The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets are battling for Wild Card positions, with Atlanta holding the tiebreaker over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who lost again (11-0) to the San Francisco Giants. If the Braves maintain their form, they could replace the Mets in the second Wild Card position. Arizona’s continued struggles put them at risk of missing the playoffs. Quote Analysis (9:16) : Seidenberg points out that Atlanta’s tiebreaker advantage over both the Mets and the Diamondbacks places them in a favorable position to secure a playoff berth. Pitching Insight : Chris Sale , a strong Cy Young candidate, will pitch for Atlanta, giving them a significant advantage in their next game. NL West The San Diego Padres are closing in on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the division crown after a dramatic game-ending triple play gave them a 4-2 win. With just two games left in the series, if the Padres sweep, they could tie for the division lead. Game Highlights : Seidenberg recaps the incredible finish (9:40) with a triple play, highlighting the Padres' determination to secure the division. If the Padres sweep the Dodgers, they hold the tiebreaker, putting pressure on Los Angeles. Pitching Analysis : Tonight, Joe Musgrove will take the mound for the Padres, with Walker Buehler pitching for the Dodgers. The Padres’ ace Musgrove has been lights out, making this a pivotal game for both teams. Key Points AL East : Orioles delay Yankees' AL East title clinching; fade Orioles in their next game. AL Wild Card : Royals and Tigers tied; Tigers are the hottest team since August. NL Wild Card : Braves hold tiebreaker over Diamondbacks; Atlanta can surpass the Mets. NL West : Padres defeat Dodgers via triple play, tightening the division race. Miami Dolphins QB : Tyler Huntley’s mobility makes him a better starter. Pittsburgh Steelers QB : Despite a 3-0 start, no confirmation of Justin Fields as QB1. Chargers : Derwin James suspended; potential impact on the Chiefs matchup. NFL Injuries : Austin Eckler out for the Commanders with a concussion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor delivers the sharpest prop card for the 15th Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club (Blue Course). Stay tuned for Doc's Presidents Cup daily picks throughout the tournament. You can find him on X @drmedia59 In this episode of the Golf Preview Podcast, Will Docter provides an in-depth preview of the 2024 Presidents' Cup, offering analysis on team compositions, key players, and betting tips for the tournament at Royal Montreal. Overview (0:16 - 22:05) The Presidents' Cup is a biennial event where the U.S. competes against an international team (excluding Europe). The tournament features 30 matches over four days: five on Thursday and Friday, eight on Saturday, and twelve singles matches on Sunday. Historically, the U.S. has dominated the competition, winning every Cup since 2003. Docter doesn’t expect that to change this year due to the talent disparity between the teams. U.S. Team: The U.S. team is missing Bryson DeChambeau but remains strong with elite players like Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele , both boasting impressive Presidents’ Cup records. Schauffele, who has a 6-3-0 record in the Presidents' Cup, is one of Docter’s top picks for the tournament, especially given the course’s emphasis on accuracy. Tony Finau is another player Docter highlights, noting his solid ball-striking and improved putting. International Team: The international squad, led by Mike Weir , faces a significant challenge without LIV players like Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann . Key returners include Sungjae Im , Si Woo Kim , and Hideki Matsuyama , but Docter questions whether they can carry the team. He also emphasizes the importance of Canada’s Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith performing well after their disappointing 0-4-0 records in 2022. LIV Golf Controversy: Docter criticizes the LIV Golf format, calling it a "joke" and blaming it for excluding top international talent from this year’s event. LIV players were not allowed to compete in the Presidents’ Cup, despite being eligible for other events like the Ryder Cup. Betting Insights: Docter provides several betting recommendations, starting with Team USA to win at -250. He offers three prop bets: Xander Schauffele to be the Top USA Point Scorer at +450, citing his flexibility in pairings and strong Presidents' Cup record. Tony Finau as the Top USA Captain’s Pick at +650, emphasizing his ball-striking and respectable team event history. Sahith Theegala to finish as the Top USA Rookie at +250, praising his recent form and energy, which will be crucial in a high-stakes team event. On the international side, Docter passes on many categories but backs Si Woo Kim as the Top International Captain’s Pick at +350. He notes Si Woo’s strong ball-striking, recent form, and history of excelling in team formats. Key Quotes and Stats: "The United States has won every Presidents' Cup since 2003, and I don’t think that changes this week." Docter establishes that the U.S. remains the heavy favorite, particularly with the absence of key international players. "Xander Schauffele has a 6-3-0 record in two Presidents' Cups." Schauffele’s experience and versatility make him a strong bet for top U.S. scorer, especially given the challenging setup of Royal Montreal. "Si Woo Kim’s ball-striking has been phenomenal over his last two events." Docter’s confidence in Si Woo stems from his recent finishes and history of delivering in big moments, making him a standout pick for top international captain's choice.

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers recap a Monday Night Football double header. Plus the MLB games today that impact the Postseason races. Key Discussion Points and Quotes: Big Wins by Underdogs (0:00 - 3:36) Scott Seidenberg : "The Bills blow out the Jaguars 47-10 as Josh Allen adds to his MVP resume." Scott emphasizes Buffalo's dominance while also noting that underdogs, like the Washington Commanders (who beat the Bengals 38-33), continue to perform well. Steve Fezzik : "Six-point underdogs are now 12-1 ATS with eight outright wins." He stresses that this trend is rare, but reminds listeners that betting markets adjust, saying, "The market is way more efficient than you would ever believe." Player stats : Josh Allen's performance is highlighted as he threw for multiple touchdowns, further solidifying his MVP candidacy. Betting Strategies and Survivor Pools (3:23 - 10:33) Fezzik provides valuable insight into the current NFL betting landscape: “If you think you’re going to win by laying minus 320 or taking plus 280, you’re delusional.” Survivor pools : The conversation shifts to survivor pools, where Fezzik mentions, "We are down to 642 entries," after 14,266 entries started the season. This segment highlights the volatility in early-season NFL results, with Fezzik comparing it to roulette wheel betting odds. Cincinnati Bengals' Defensive Woes (4:03 - 7:00) Scott Seidenberg : "Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are now 0-3, and their defense is embarrassing." The panel discusses how the Commanders’ offense dominated Cincinnati, leading to a second consecutive game without attempting a punt. This is indicative of Washington's aggressive play style, which they credit for their success. Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes for MVP (16:00 - 18:00) Scott and Mackenzie discuss why Josh Allen has outperformed Patrick Mahomes in the early MVP race. Mackenzie: “Mahomes has done nothing this year... Josh Allen is having a phenomenal season.” Team stats : The Bills' offense, orchestrated by coordinator Joe Brady, is praised for its efficiency, having scored touchdowns on its first five possessions in two separate games this season. Jacksonville Jaguars’ Struggles (17:25 - 20:28) Fezzik : "It wouldn’t surprise me if Doug Peterson is the first coach fired." The Jaguars’ performance is heavily criticized, with Fezzik referencing an article about Trevor Lawrence’s inconsistency. A quote from an NFC executive reads, “You want to fall in love with him one day and divorce him the next.” The Jaguars are now 0-3, and Fezzik emphasizes that this underperformance is affecting their betting odds. The updated win total is six and a half, which Fezzik confidently states he would bet the under on. Trends and Betting Strategies for Week 4 (22:00 - 23:36) Scott Seidenberg : "Since 2010, 0-2 teams are 70% ATS in week 3." He breaks down how various teams have performed against the spread, focusing on key matchups where underdogs have outperformed. The conversation extends into week 4 predictions, with Fezzik cautioning against betting on teams like Cincinnati and Tennessee, who failed in favorable betting spots. Conclusion (24:50 - 30:06) Major League Baseball : As the regular season draws to a close, Seidenberg gives a brief rundown of important games with playoff implications. Highlights include the Tigers' Tarek Skubal pitching as Detroit looks to secure a wild card spot, and the Yankees' bid to clinch the American League East against Baltimore.

A low-scoring series is expected, with the under being a solid bet. Player Stats Tarek Skubal (6:55) : Skubal’s Cy Young-worthy season has kept the Tigers in the wildcard race.

Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers recap all the NFL Week 3 Sunday action and preview Monday Night Football. Plus the latest in the MLB Postseason races as the final week of the season is upon us. In this episode of Monday Morning QB , Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers provide an in-depth breakdown of the NFL Week 3 games, highlighting underdog success, player and team performances, and key decisions that shaped game outcomes. They also previewed Monday Night Football matchups and touched on the final week of Major League Baseball's regular season. Conclusion NFL Week 3 continued to showcase the unpredictability of the league. Major underdogs (6-point or more) were 11-1 against the spread (ATS), highlighting the value in betting on these teams early in the season. One of the main talking points was the Atlanta Falcons' painful loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Seidenberg and Rivers questioned some of the coaching decisions that arguably cost the Falcons the game, particularly around crucial fourth-down plays and the refusal to take easy points through field goals. A notable preview was made of the Cincinnati Bengals' matchup, with 25.5% of remaining Circa Survivor participants relying on a Bengals win to stay alive in the contest. Meanwhile, the duo covered multiple underperforming coaches, like Nick Sirianni of the Eagles, and praised the resurgence of veteran players like Daniel Jones and Derrick Henry. Key Points 🟢 Underdogs Dominate : Large underdogs (6+ points) are 11-1 ATS this season, with seven outright wins. 🏈 Circa Survivor Shake-Up : The contest started with 14,000 participants and only 11% remain. The Cincinnati Bengals game on Monday Night was critical. 🟡 Coaching Decisions Scrutinized : Questionable coaching decisions, particularly from Atlanta’s Raheem Morris, drew harsh criticism for opting not to take easy field goals. 🐦 Falcons' Missed Opportunities : The Falcons' mismanagement on key plays cost them a win against the Chiefs, despite playing well on defense. 🟣 Patrick Mahomes' Stat Fluctuations : Mahomes' rushing prop of 19.5 yards became a notable “bad beat” for bettors, as late-game kneeling reduced his total to 17 yards. 📊 Betting on Monday Night : Jaden Daniels’ rushing yard prop over 48.5 was recommended as a strong bet for the Monday Night Bengals-Commanders game. 🟡 Eagles' Win Despite Sirianni's Mistakes : The Eagles barely beat the Saints 15-12, despite questionable decisions by coach Nick Sirianni, such as refusing to kick on multiple fourth downs. 🏀 Giants, Vikings, Packers Shine : Daniel Jones led the Giants to their first win, while the Packers and Vikings both secured dominant victories. ⚾ Final Week of MLB : The episode closed with a brief look at the upcoming final week of the MLB regular season, particularly in the NL West and NL East races.

Scott Seidenberg and AJ Hoffman preview the big College Football games of the weekend and give out Best Bets in the NFL. Plus a recap of Thursday Night Football and the latest in the MLB Postseason races. Jets Crush Patriots in Week 3 Opener Scott Seidenberg (0:40) began by recapping the Jets’ overwhelming 24-3 victory over the Patriots. The Jets’ defense stood tall, holding the Patriots to just 139 total yards. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw for only 98 yards before being replaced by rookie Drake May, who fared little better with just 22 yards. Key Stats: Aaron Rodgers (Jets): 27/35 completions, 281 yards, 2 touchdowns (5:12). Tyler Conklin (Jets TE): 5 catches, 93 yards (5:28). Patriots Total Offense: 139 yards (5:18). The Jets’ offense, with 400 total yards, dominated time of possession, holding the ball for 40 minutes to the Patriots' 19 minutes. With this victory, the Jets moved to 2-1, positioning themselves strongly early in the season. Arch Manning Headlines College Football AJ Hoffman (6:27) focused on the college football scene, where Arch Manning was announced as Texas’ starting quarterback. Manning’s strong performance helped Texas retain its number one ranking as they head into a matchup against UL Monroe, favored by 44.5 points. Heisman Race Impacts: Arch Manning’s Start: Manning steps in while Quinn Ewers recovers from injury (7:14). Texas’ Momentum: Texas aims to maintain their dominance heading into SEC play. The decision to start Manning adds intrigue to the Heisman race and fuels excitement for Texas fans eager to see their team maintain its top position. Nebraska vs. Illinois: Top-25 Clash A top-25 college football matchup between Nebraska (#24) and Illinois (#22) was highlighted by Dylan Raiola , Nebraska’s quarterback. Raiola, often compared to Patrick Mahomes, faces high expectations heading into the game where Nebraska is favored by 7.5 points. AJ Hoffman (10:16) noted that Nebraska’s raucous home crowd and strong defense will be key factors in this contest. Nebraska has been riding a wave of momentum, and this game could be a pivotal point in their season. Michigan’s Decline and USC’s Defensive Strength Michigan continues to struggle, with their second consecutive week as underdogs at home, this time against USC (#11) . AJ Hoffman (12:54) noted the major shift in Michigan’s strategy, focusing on the running game as they face a tough USC defense. USC’s defense has been one of the most improved units this season, and Michigan’s new quarterback faces a difficult challenge. Despite Michigan's home advantage, USC enters as 5.5-point favorites. NFL Week 3: Betting Insights Turning to NFL Week 3, AJ Hoffman (19:10) highlighted the Tennessee Titans as a smart pick, particularly in the first half, given their strong defense. Facing an inexperienced quarterback, the Titans have the upper hand early. Denver Broncos (+6.5) were another underdog Hoffman liked, especially against a Tampa Bay team that’s struggled despite its 2-0 start (22:24). Hoffman also saw value in the Minnesota Vikings (+2) , expecting them to capitalize on their defensive strengths against the Texans (23:26). Shohei Ohtani’s Historic Night In the world of baseball, Shohei Ohtani made history with a remarkable 6-for-6 performance against the Marlins, including three home runs and 10 RBIs (27:30). Ohtani became the first player ever to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season, solidifying his place in MLB history. This performance, one of the greatest offensive showcases ever, helped the Dodgers clinch a postseason spot as they continue their push for a top playoff seed. Conclusion The Jets’ dominant win, Texas’ bold quarterback decision, and Shohei Ohtani’s historic night have all made for an unforgettable week in sports. With NFL Week 3 continuing and top college football matchups on the horizon, fans have plenty to be excited about heading into the weekend. Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers preview TNF between the Jets and the Patriots. Plus a look at the MLB Postseason races and games of note. Jets vs Patriots: Thursday Night Football Breakdown In the latest Straight Outta Vegas AM (02:34), Scott Seidenberg and Steve Fezzik previewed the highly anticipated New York Jets vs. New England Patriots matchup. The Jets are six-and-a-half-point favorites in this crucial Week 3 divisional game, taking place at MetLife Stadium. Here’s the breakdown: Key Injuries and Team Insights Seidenberg (0:34) outlined how New England faces significant challenges with injuries, especially on the offensive line. Fezzik (03:05) emphasized that the Patriots have cluster injuries, including their left tackle Lowe, center David Andrews (hip), and right tackle Mike Oquenze. This is a major disadvantage for the Patriots as they face a Jets team that is, despite a tough schedule, well-rested. Fezzik confidently leaned toward the Jets, calling New England the worst team in the NFL (1:49), noting their lack of depth and early-season struggles. He dismissed any notion that New England’s recent performances were anything to write home about. Betting Strategy and Prop Bets Seidenberg took a deeper look into player performance and prop bets (05:14). He highlighted Alan Lazard as a key player to watch, picking him to go over two and a half catches . He noted that the Patriots have struggled to defend the slot, and Lazard, a trusted target for Aaron Rodgers, will likely see plenty of opportunities. Given the Patriots’ blitz-heavy approach and inability to defend against slot receivers, Seidenberg believes Lazard will have a breakout game. When discussing betting strategies (04:18), Fezzik warned against teasing the spread. He instead recommended finding the best money line price for the Jets at sportsbooks like Circa and DraftKings, where it was sitting at -260. Statistics Supporting the Jets A significant factor in favor of the Jets is the historical performance of teams in New England’s current situation. Fezzik cited that teams coming off an overtime game with less than five days’ rest have a dismal record against the spread (07:04), standing at 3-21 over the past 20 years. Additionally, Seidenberg highlighted how New England’s high blitz rate won’t likely affect Aaron Rodgers, who has one of the fastest release times in the NFL. This quick passing game will allow Rodgers to exploit the Patriots’ weak slot defense. Conclusion: Jets for the Win Both Seidenberg and Fezzik are confident in a Jets victory. The combination of the Patriots' injuries, their poor historical performance on short rest, and the Jets’ superior passing game makes this Thursday Night Football clash a favorable one for New York. Betting on the Jets to cover the six-and-a-half-point spread or focusing on prop bets like Lazard’s receptions could be a smart move. Summary: Jets Favored : Jets are six-and-a-half-point favorites, facing an injury-plagued Patriots team. Injury Issues : Patriots' offensive line is crippled, with key players out, hurting their chances. Short Week Impact : Jets should not be impacted by the short week as it's early in the season. Prop Bet Pick : Alan Lazard is projected to go over two and a half catches, with the Patriots struggling to defend the slot. Teaser Caution : Avoid teasing the spread; money line bets may offer better value. Historical Trends : Teams like New England, coming off an overtime game with short rest, have a 3-21 ATS record over the past 20 years. Rodgers’ Quick Release : Aaron Rodgers' fast release will exploit the Patriots' blitz-heavy defense and weak slot coverage. Betting Strategy : Shop around for the best money line on the Jets to maximize returns. Confidence in the Jets : Both analysts are confident the Jets will win and cover the spread. Jets’ Passing Game : The Jets' passing game, particularly Lazard, will be key to their success against the Patriots. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the MLB Postseason races and have a spirited MVP debate. Summary: The Inside Pitch with Josh Towers - MLB Postseason and MVP Race In this episode of The Inside Pitch , Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg dive deep into the tight MLB postseason races and the heated MVP debate. They analyze division leaders, playoff outlooks, and key performances from players like Francisco Lindor, Shohei Otani, and Aaron Judge. Postseason Race Breakdown Scott Seidenberg (0:12) opens by discussing the current standings across the MLB divisions. The Yankees lead the AL East, while the Phillies and Dodgers are on top in the NL. As Josh Towers (1:46) points out, experience and mental toughness will determine who can handle the pressure, citing Houston’s dominance in the AL West. However, the Twins, despite leading the wild card race, may falter due to bullpen overuse and inconsistency. Francisco Lindor: Underrated MVP Contender Scott Seidenberg (11:43) makes a strong case for Francisco Lindor as a National League MVP candidate, noting his impressive stats and leadership as both a defensive and offensive powerhouse. However, Josh Towers (17:33) argues that Shohei Otani’s historic offensive season, with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, puts him ahead despite playing primarily as a DH. MVP Debate: Otani vs. Lindor The hosts debate the value of defense in the MVP conversation. Seidenberg (22:09) points out that Lindor’s two-way contributions at shortstop give him an edge, while Towers (16:45) believes Otani’s offensive feats make him the clear choice, despite not playing in the field. Yankees’ Aaron Judge in the MVP Mix Scott Seidenberg (15:16) highlights Aaron Judge’s consistency as a key reason he remains a strong MVP candidate. While Josh Towers (33:16) acknowledges Judge’s dominance, he also brings up Bobby Witt Jr. as a contender, particularly with his base-stealing and triple-hitting prowess. Detroit Tigers’ Playoff Push Detroit’s 22-10 record since August 11 is the best in MLB, as Josh Towers (37:02) credits the Tigers' coaching for turning the team around. The upcoming series against Kansas City is pivotal, with Towers emphasizing that if they sweep the Royals, their playoff hopes are alive. Conclusion As the MLB season winds down, the competition for playoff spots and the MVP title intensifies. Teams like the Twins and Tigers are fighting for survival, while stars like Lindor, Otani, and Judge vie for MVP honors, making the final stretch of the 2024 season must-watch baseball.
