Patrick and Seth look back at the first weekend of March Madness to discuss what went right, and wrong and how bettors did over the opening 4 days.

After one week of the women's tourney, Patrick breaks down the betting comparisons between the men's and women's game and why the house is very much rooting for an Iowa/South Carolina final. The fellas look ahead to the Sweet 16 games and discuss where the early money is, who are the biggest favorites, and where the underdogs might be howling.

The bracket is set, and Syracuse is out (sorry Seth!) but another underperforming ACC team somehow snuck their way into the big dance. Despite the promotion of their own NET rankings to guide the selection process how did the NCAA once again get it wrong? And with the transfer portal already open what does the future of the NIT look like? The fellas break down all four regions including which #1 seed is the underdog in their region and which teams are getting that early Cinderella betting love. Patrick looks at the Women's NCAA tournament, what could end up being a dream final, and why the house will largely be cheering for chalk in the Women's version while rooting for chaos on the Men's side.

And is the transfer portal helping or hurting the NCAA's attractiveness with casual fans? Liverpool takes home the Carabao Cup with in dramatic fashion and Patrick starts plotting out how to get to Anfield one last time before Klopp leaves at the season's end.

Patrick and Seth are still thawing out as Pat re-acclimatizes himself with Canadian winter. Seth embraced it fully in his attendance of the latest NHL Stadium Series game in New Jersey. The two look back at the NBA All-Star weekend after the game itself was widely panned and wonder what future versions of the event may look like.

Seth finds a new thing that he hates about the Rangers and the fellas discuss the relevance of an enforcer-only player in today's NHL.

Pat and Seth look back at another Super Bowl win for the Chiefs that once again left the bookies smarting as the public continues to wonder “How could you make Patrick Mahomes an underdog?” In a plodding game with no breakout stars, how high did the odds get for Jauan Jennings and Harrison Butker to win MVP? And looking ahead to next season who does Bovada have as the favorites to host the Lombardi Trophy? Seth discusses the ratings for the game, the Swift effect, the future of the league, and Mahomes' impact. With football behind us, the fellas peak at the current NHL standings, how their teams are holding up, and which surprises so far have the best case for keeping their current form.

Are both Mike McCarthy and Nick Sirianni on the hot seat? Their seasons have been anything but dominant but once again we have the Chiefs and Bills meeting in the playoffs in what will be Patrick Mahomes' first career road game. Can the Bills get over the hump here and continue their season's turnaround? And will whoever's left standing be healthy enough for the Ravens? And in the NFC a pair of upsets have moved the 49ers right into the driver's seat. While Detroit, Tampa, and Green Bay are playing good football at the right time will it be enough to knock off the current Super Bowl favorites?

With bowl season upon us and the transfer portal open Seth peacocks the recent addition of Kyle McCord to the Orange and is way too excited about the Boca Raton Bowl. Does Syracuse want ‘Bama?

Patrick pulls himself together after the Ohtani rollercoaster leaves Toronto fans w/ Blue you-know-what. He and Seth discuss the rumor mill that both excited Dodgers and Jays fans but also had bettors already taking World Series shots on the Jays in anticipation of his signing. Given the circumvention of the luxury tax, will MLB reign this in, or do the financial blue bloods of the league have yet another weapon to distance themselves from the rest of the riffraff? In the NFL the Week 14 games saw very little separation at the top of the standings and left the playoff race even further muddied. Can Dallas' talent overcome coaching? And can the Bills use their Kansas City escape as a boost in advance of a must-win matchup vs the Cowboys?

The college football playoff committee has once again left someone feeling slighted and wishing playoff expansion was already here. Patrick and Seth discuss the idea of fairness vs quality of playoff games and wonder how long and much more expansion is needed before Syracuse starts feeling left out. Looking to the NFL Pat is grateful for a Packers bail out of the books on Sunday night and the fellas preview the Cowboys and Eagles and the Bills and Chiefs.

Somehow, the Broncos ended up besting the Bills on Monday night, and all of a sudden the Bills find themselves sitting at .500. Where have things gone wrong for a team that had preseason hopes of hoisting the Lombardi trophy? And did anyone else catch that Trevon Diggs tweet? The fellas look at the NBA In-Season Tournament and the differences between pricing that and the NBA Championship futures and how much variance can and will impact a single elimination tournament. And with the Michigan investigations threatening to upend the Wolverine's undefeated season, Seth wonders how much longer Jim Harbaugh will stay coaching the college ranks.

It's Thanksgiving week and Patrick and Seth are talking turkey, the NFL and college football's big rivalry games. Ohio State is traveling to Ann Arbor in what is a de facto play-in game for the College Football Playoff (with apologies to Iowa). Washington looks to beef up their resume as they host the Cougars in the Apple Cup and Georgia and Alabama will be looking to simply escape this weekend unscathed ahead of their matchup in the SEC Championship game. In the NFL this is the best the Lions have looked heading into Thanksgiving in a long time and the Cowboys are no slouches themselves as double-digit favorites over the Commanders on Thursday afternoon. In the nightcap how will Geno Smith's injury from Sunday impact his ability to move the ball against a healthy 49ers team looking to get some breathing room in the NFC West?

College basketball is back and Patrick and Seth discuss the utility of so many games early in the season. Can the excitement of upset wins in November hold up against their meaning for teams hoping for one of the coveted 64 March Madness spots? After a fantastic weekend of games on both sides of the Atlantic, the fellas look ahead to Week 10. Coming off a bye can San Fran finally right the ship against the 6-2 Jaguars? And can Cleveland's defense prove that they're for real and slow down this Ravens offense? Patrick checks in on his Maple Leafs who are seemingly able to score at will but defensively couldn't stop a beach ball. Can Toronto give Bovada's Head Oddsmaker a decent show on Wednesday evening with him in attendance against the Ottawa Senators?

With the Chiefs falling to Denver, the Eagles barely escaping the Commanders and the 49ers losing yet again your fearless podcasting heroes are once again left scratching their heads and wondering which team can we confidently call the best in the NFL. The NBA is still shaking off the cobwebs but we already have a big early-season trade with James Harden heading from the Sixers to the Clippers. The Clippers have seen their title odds improve slightly and with the Harden headache removed Daryl Morey can resume weighing in on global conflicts. The Heritage Classic has come and gone and Patrick and Seth discuss the betting angles that come up with these unique outdoor events. And the fellas look ahead to the weekend's games with marquee matchups between the Dolphins/Chiefs and Cowboys/Eagles.

It was another banner weekend for the sportsbook punctuated by stunning upsets of the Bills and 49ers. As the fellas look back on the first seven weeks of the season they discuss the league's surprises and where teams and players have over and underperformed so far. The NBA returns and with it comes squeaking floors, load management, and, this season, an in-season tournament. While Pat and Seth applaud Adam Silver for his creativity they're unsure how much this will move the needle. And with MLB looking ahead to the World Series what kind of ratings are in store and how will the games hold up against 50 Days of Football, the Frozen Frenzy, and the return of the hardcourt?

The 49ers pushed one wide right, the Jets chased Jalen Hurts all over the field and Bovada had its best NFL Sunday of the season. With the Dolphins righting the ship against Carolina who will come out on top when they take on the Eagles Sunday night? Can the Bills shake off a mistake-filled game against the Giants and put another nail in Bill Belichick's coffin? The fellas also check in on the MLB playoffs and welcome the return of the premier league after the international break. Patrick clarifies the betting rules for abandoned soccer matches. Pat and Seth resolve not to pay Aaron Rodgers to be a guest.

The colors on the leaves are changing, the Blue Jays have been eliminated and the Maple Leafs once again prepare to crush the hearts of their fans – Fall has arrived. Pat and Seth take a look back at the top games of the weekend as Oklahoma upset Texas, USC and Caleb Williams got taken to triple-overtime by Arizona and Notre Dame once again came up short in prime time. The fellas discuss the injury status of Joe Burrow and the risks taken by the Bengals organization, preview Kansas City-Denver and whether Sean Payton might be one-and-done in Denver, and wonder whether the Browns can keep it close hosting San Fran with a curiously low point spread.

In the NFL the Jets once again come up short but is there reason for optimism with the strides Zach Wilson made against the Chiefs? Will the Broncos' defense finally find their form this weekend or will Wilson be able to convert the many doubters? The Cowboys travel to Santa Clara to take on the 49ers in this week's marquee matchup. Can the Cowboys show that they're a serious contender in the NFC or will San Fran solidify their frontrunner status? In College, Texas takes on Oklahoma at the Texas State Fair in their last Big 12 matchup before departing for the SEC. With both teams having legitimate playoff aspirations who will come out on top and where's the money currently? Finally, the MLB playoffs are here and Patrick and Seth look back on the regular season and how the various rule changes played out after 162 games.

Pierre Garcon joins the show this week to discuss how the NFL season is shaping up after two weeks and how he feels the Washington Commanders stack up against the rest of the NFC East. We also have him size up who he thinks is the best wide receiver in the league, what head coaches are making a difference early on and who he thinks is the best team right now. Patrick and Seth discuss the impasse the Jets find themselves at, what can they do to salvage the season and whether it's worth trying to integrate someone new under center. And with Arsenal back in the Champions League Seth laments the careful balancing act that comes up with juggling such a heavy schedule of meaningful contests. Patrick sadly cannot relate.

The Aaron Rodgers era in New York is over as quickly as it started. It took only 4 plays for the former MVP to exit off-broadway and, despite the stunning upset win of the Bills, the Jets are for now looking at Zach Wilson as their QB1. How long will the Jets hand him the reigns and who are the leading contenders to jump in if Wilson stumbles? If the Jets are smarting how bad do the Bills have to feel? Josh Allen's gunslinging ways got the better of him and if Stefon Diggs was frustrated this offseason one can only imagine what's going through his mind after a chokejob like that. And with the Chiefs losing a tough opening game and a strong Jags team coming up next how vulnerable is Kansas City this year? Can the return of Chris Jones right the ship? And how effective will Travis Kelce be coming off of injury?

Pierre Garcon joins the show this week to discuss how the NFL season is shaping up after two weeks and how he feels the Washington Commanders stack up against the rest of the NFC East.

Terrell Davis joins the show this week to help Patrick and Seth preview the start of the NFL season and what the future (and Futures board) looks like for the Denver Broncos. Will a new head coach and a full offseason of preparation for Russell Wilson right the ship or will they once again be doomed to the cellar of the AFC West? And which running back does the former Hall of Famer think has the best chance to break 2,000 yards rushing this year?

Thank goodness we survived the summer. Football is back.

Former NFL running back Fred Jackson joins the show this week to discuss the state of the running back in 2023, what it was like playing in front of the Bills Mafia, and how he thinks his former team shapes up this season.

Patrick returns from Vegas, gives his 2023 take on the city, and subsequently burns any future sponsorship possibilities with a Canadian airline

There are no punches pulled this week as Patrick and Seth welcome 2-time heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs to the show. With the Jake Paul and Nate Diaz fight upcoming the guys examine the state of boxing, whether the Pauls are more influencers than athletes, and what boxing needs to do to maintain relevancy in the years to come. Shannon shares the highs and lows of his career, the density of talents in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and his new film about his famous neighborhood. You're guaranteed to feel like a champ after this week's episode.

It's the 150th episode! With college realignment news what does this mean for the new super conferences and the teams left behind? Seth & Patrick break down the seismic shifts in college sports. The US Women bow out early in the Women's World Cup and Patrick and Seth discuss the balancing act of needing the Team USA for betting handle on the event but the liabilities that came with them. While the team's early exit might be positive for so-called parity what do ratings and betting look like with them now out? There are no rating concerns in Miami, however, as Leo Messi has taken the MLS by storm scoring seven goals in his first four games and rocketing Inter Miami into the favorite role for the Leagues Cup. How much more money has been bet on the MLS since his joining and how much money will Bovada be forced to pay out if they win the whole thing?

After some of the league's top running backs hosted a Zoom call to discuss the disrespect at their position Patrick and Seth take a look at the evolution of arguably the most punishing job in pro football. How many of them are worth the big deals they're looking for and how can teams accommodate them in a league focused more on passing and quarterbacks that are already mobile threats?

The fellas look ahead to the Open Championship and consider a surprising tournament favorite who just months prior was looking more bridesmaid than the bride. And with bad weather hitting both Canada and the US northeast the guys look at their favorite sports documentaries for those rainy (or smoky) days indoors.

It's the All-Star break and Patrick and Seth take a look at everyone's favorite (or least hated) star-studded exhibition game. Patrick breaks down the Home Run Derby action and how the betting has grown on the event over the years. Shohei Ohtani continues to leave us speechless but the Los Angeles Angels have started to fade begging the question as to whether they'll be sellers at the trade deadline.

And as Wimbledon draws towards its conclusion Pat and Seth look at the tournament gameplay so far and the potential awkwardness for the All England Club if a Russian or Belarussian ultimately wins the major.

Patrick and Seth catch their breath in what's usually a quieter time of the year to look at the sports of summer. How do bookmakers keep up with the in-game odds when the Angels scored 24 runs in a game? And for low-data events like the London MLB series, how is the over/under handicapped?

In the light of suspensions of NFL players for betting on sports, what are the leagues (and their partners) getting right and wrong?

And with Bradley Beal traded to the Suns the fellas take a look at the updated futures board and debate the merits of chemistry and cohesion vs so-called Super Teams. Pat and Seth round up the US Open where Rory was once again a bridesmaid, Wyndham Clark made the big shots when it counted, and a major golf event where you could literally hear a pin drop.

The fellas react to the PGA-LIV merger announcement and what this means for the future of pro golf. How does the PGA reconcile its past comments with the reality of this new deal?

Bruised but ultimately not beaten the Miami Heat survived a potentially historic Celtics comeback to claim their spot in the NBA Finals where once again they will be underdogs. Can the Nuggets knock them off to claim their first franchise title or will Playoff Jimmy burn the oddsmakers one last time? And not to be outdone in their own backyard the Florida Panthers prepare to lace up against the Vegas Knights with both franchises looking for their first Stanley Cup win. Vegas might be the ever-so-slight favorites but after knocking off the Bruins, the Leafs (sigh), and Canes this Panthers team definitely does not feel like an underdog.

Patrick returns from his overseas excursion and he and Seth take a look back at the PGA Championship weekend as both Brooks Koepka and the LIV Tour claim a massive win. In the NBA it's becoming harder and harder to figure out who or what is going to stop Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. How bad is this result for the Bovada's futures board? Can the Denver Nuggets bail out the bookies fresh off of their sweep of the Lakers? And while the NHL may not have big market teams remaining in the quest for Lord Stanley's Cup there's been no complaint about the quality of the games. Can Florida continue their improbable run? And where does Bobrovsky's playoff performance rank vs the all-time greats?

The podcast goes global as Patrick joins us from Ireland, where he continually tells everyone he is on a "work" trip. 2x WNBA All-Star Ivory Latta joined the show (not from Ireland).

The second round of the NHL Playoffs is underway and Patrick and Seth do their best to mentally recover from the early poor start of the Leafs and Devils. Can Toronto battle back from being cup favorites to the longest shot left on the board? And in the West, the Oilers have come out firing to take both the series and the overall Stanley Cup odds by force. Can McDavid and Draisatl bring Lord Stanley back to Edmonton for the first time since Gretzky and Kurri? In the NBA the West is as wide open as it gets with the fashionably late Lakers and Warriors rounding into form at the right time and the Suns and Nuggets continuing their consistent yearlong play. And in the East can Jimmy Butler and Coach Spoelstra's Heat keep shocking the oddsmakers? Is it Boston's conference to lose? Pat and Seth take a look at the last few weeks of the Premier League regular season to check on Arsenal's title odds, Liverpool's top-4 odds, and who's staring down the barrel of relegation

With the Leafs and Devils both safely through the first round Patrick and Seth give an unbiased look at round two and beyond. And with Boston dropping a shocker against the Panthers who's the new Stanley Cup favorite? And while Seth may grumble at blowouts in close-outs the boys give their due to a compelling opening round of the NBA playoffs. With Milwaukee stunned who's now got the inside track in the East? And in the West what kind of ratings and betting records with the Warriors/Lakers produce? And it wouldn't be May without the Kentucky Derby. Patrick goes through the favorites and where the early action is.

It's NFL Draft week and Patrick and Seth do their best to navigate the previous workouts, the current whispers, and all the other intrigue leading into Thursday night. Will it be Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, or Will Levis as the 1st QB selected? The Packers and Jets blew up the futures board with a megadeal sending Aaron Rodgers to New York in return for picks as the former Packers QB finally gets his wish to Lambeau Leap out of Green Bay. Can the Jets make a play for the AFC East divisional crown? And what will a rebuilding Packers team look like? After the first week of the NHL Playoffs, the fellas recap the highs and the lows (including their heart rates) of overtime thrillers, third-period comebacks, and how the playoff picture now looks.

Can the Kings deny the doubters and keep up their winning ways against the Warriors? And how many of these early injuries will turn out to be series-defining? The NHL playoffs are also underway and the fellas do their best to park any partisanship as they preview the Leafs, Devils, and the other 14 teams vying for Lord Stanley's Cup. Despite Boston's historically good season, Pat makes a case for all 16 teams winning it all. Patrick and Seth share different sports streaming service gripes (but are willing to retract if any of them wish to buy ad space).

With the regular season complete and the play-in games about to tip former NBA champ Vernon Maxwell joins the show to help preview the NBA playoffs. Which teams are legit contenders and who will be bowing out immediately? Are the Lakers getting hot at the right time? Can the Kings continue their Cinderella run? Patrick and Seth look back at the Masters and discuss the dominance of Jon Rahm and the performance of the LIV golfers that had both the PGA and Bovada sweating on Sunday. And while Tiger Woods is always a liability for books the fellas wonder how much he has left in the tank. Seth looks ahead to the NHL playoffs and wonders if he'll have to return to a building he swore never to return to.
