Former NFL Pro Bowler T.J. Houshmandzadeh and FS1 contributor Rob Parker both give you the 4-1-1 on Midwest football betting odds. Yes, one guy has played in every stadium in the Midwest and the other guy has covered games in every one of those stadiums. Together, they make a potent combination - Money-Makers of the Midway, if you will. Yes, there will be some interesting guests, chicken-wing talk (all-flats, of course) and insight on the games you want to make a wager on.
TJ and Martin explore the question of who matters more, coaches or coordinators and why is the assistant WR coach calling plays? Cowboys beat Belichick and the Giants aren't a real team. Also, are the refs deciding too many games? TJ explains why some coaches aren't that tough after all. @housh84 & @MartinWeiss #LemonPepperParlay
Smart, intelligent, and stupid at the same time- Martin and TJ talk the Jon Gruden situation. Urban's outlook and some talk about Dan Cambell's hot tears. The Bills look unstoppable.

Week 5 picks @housh84 & @MartinWeiss #LemonPepperParlay
Housh and Martin start with a Rams over Bucs rewind. The Bucs have issues at D. Is Jamarr the ROY or will he be chasing Trevor Lawrence? Why everyone should be talking about the Chargers and the Dolphins should slap themselves anytime they see Herbert on the field. Do the Chiefs really need Josh Gordon or is he just bad insurance? Matt Nagy has TJ confounded….he's a saboteur or he just doesn't care? No Dallas time out has the fellas wondering just how many times was McCarthy bailed out by Aaron Rodgers? @housh84 & @MartinWeiss #LemonPepperParlay
Martin and TJ recap NFL Week 2 and take a look ahead to the Packers/Niners matchup on Sunday night. Which version of the Bills is the real one, Week 1 or Week 2?

TJ and Martin are back to chop up Week 1 in the NFL. How the Steelers toppled the Lions, Baker's bad decision and can you still bet blindly on Bill Belichick? TJ thinks Romo is too soft on the QB's. Is Rodgers on the same page or even in the same book with head coach LeFleur? Are the Texans legit with Tyrod and what is Urban doing in Jacksonville? The fellas agree that Ciara's color rush dress at the Met Gala was a catch and whether socks don't go with sandals and NFL Week 2 picks and predictions.

Rob anoints TJ as a Super Bowl Soothsayer. A unanimous host vote that Tom Brady should not have been the MVP. Mahomes was a prisoner of the moment and Andy Reid’s five man protection schemes failed the day. TJ believes that Brady lifts the rest of the team’s confidence to a championship level and Rob thinks they could have won without Tom. Megatron and why the HOF is full of SH*T. Lemon Pepper Parlay says goodbye to football and hello to NBA chatter!@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
LPP Super Bowl edition and two GOATs must ram heads this weekend when the Future meets the Present down in Tampa. TJ and Rob go a few rounds over whether Matt Stafford was worth all the rounds in the draft. A bit more on the Texans new coaching hire. TJ sticks with his season long pick with Tampa while Rob suspects the Chiefs will be in victory formation with a cool reminder that no one remembers Brady’s 9 non-winning years. Lots of weapons on both teams for producer Martin’s Super Bowl super props. End of year salutes from both the hosts before Rob is off to Vegas to drop some shekels on all the above. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
T.J. Houshmandzadeh claims he is now “TJ Nostradamus” in this episode after predicting this Super Bowl matchup. Easier to spell. The fellas weigh in on the reported hiring of David Culley by the Texans. Eric Bieniemy has been passed over, again. Title game recaps regarding the terrible decision to kick a field goal and the terrible 2nd half decisions of Tom Brady. The Bucs D got all the points and how KC will win if they just hold onto the ball. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Does a man with more kids than playoff wins belong in the Hall of Fame? Why Tom Brady played mistake-free and Drew Brees didn’t. Patrick Mahomes sparks a discussion on concussions. AFC/NFC title game picks. More hirings and firings have come and gone but where are the black head coaches?@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Rob was right about those Steelers, even back when they were undefeated. Should the Steelers keep Ben or go with free agency? TJ reached the highest level of pisstivity. The Colts broke all the wrong records. Is it Josh or Diggs that’s making the difference? Agreeing on the Ravens and the Browns + when you still have have abs and haven’t haconsumed a soda in 20 years. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
The debacle in Philly was no prob to Rob but effort is like toothpaste, says TJ, hard to put back in the tube. Will it be Rodgers consistency or Henry’s reliability for MVP? Ravens are kicking ass at just the right time. The Browns are cursed, Stefanski can’t Zoom, so the lock pick of the playoffs just so happens to be Pittsburgh…@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Rob and TJ agree on a lot of games this week so get those stimulus checks ready.Why Baltimore could miss the playoffs or be hell to deal with if they make it. Browns must win to keep this season from being a waste. Certain players are robbing a bank without the mask. Bucs might have what it takes for the ‘Bowl. Starters sitting + cold weather = lots of unders this week.@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Hey Haskins, be selfless, not selfish. Rob reminds us the Steelers are the worst 11-0 football team ever. Ben’s built-in excuses and Brady talked smack. A Matt Stafford argument escalates to a bet over a pair of off white Jordan’s. Why Trubisky should have been starting all along and the Jags won’t lose Trevor. Remember, players may not care but the play callers always do. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Vegas learned the hard way that Rob is on a roll. Celebrating 35 years in the media while remembering The Missile and The Rocket. We told you about them Cowboys and TJ has brought the receipts for the Chiefs and Bills. Jalen Hurts - winning matters more than passing numbers. Why Mahomes has an entire playground, while Rodgers doesn’t even have a slide. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
How the Ravens ran all over The Boys but the Bengals will not. Rob just might have been right about those undefeated Steelers. The Buccs season is hanging in the balance and, as usual, so are some Lemon Pepper Wings. Putting a lot of silver down on the Silver and Blue. TJ explains how players are either tractors or trailers - some need to be pulled. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
No delight in Steeler’s ugly Wed afternoon win. How do you put “worst” and “undefeated” in the same sentence? Should Detroit invite Jim Harbaugh to their next Thanksgiving game? @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh #LemonPepperParlay
Should the Steelers be upset with another postponement? TJ explains why players need to think before they hit send. Bruce Arians bashes Tom Brady and his fugly numbers. Should Burrow blame the Bengals? Is this a must-win for Kirk's Vikes? @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Raise your glass to thirty-five years of Rob Parker in the game of game discussions. Why both hosts think MVP should come down to Rodgers or Mahomes and Pittsburgh + Green Bay are your best bets. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Brady's Bucs get no quarter this week. Some NFL D’s can’t stop a nosebleed and why player pressure on ownership is so hard to come by and why the “F” stands for fraud. Media and players are what Peter-built Carroll. TJ once bought a Terrible Towel from the “worst 8-0 team."@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Halfway thru the season and the Vikings surprised the Packers and our hosts. AB in TB and a game of “Crazy or not Crazy”. Bickering over Ben and the Steelers and quibbles over the Cowboys trigger a side bet over wings. Will the Ravens rebound? How the Titans give up a lot and score a…

Matt Stafford does his part and Zimmer is on the hot seat. He’s called STATFORD for a reason. Why Gruden deserves better protocol. Packers will slaughter the Vikings and an explanation of the Steelers power mixed wtih Ravens juice. @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzedah

Herbert’s cannon arm and Dak’s broken leg are discussed this week. TJ explains that some coaches in the league, are out of their league *cough Adam Gase *Tom Brady’s senior moment reminds us why 5th down doesn’t exist.

Why the MVP might come from GB. Also, learn why GM and coaches should be two different people and why Black QB’s are on a shorter leash and speaking of short…. the sports menu itself is very short. #LemonPepperParlay @RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzedah
