RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for week 4. RJ Bell 00:00–04:00 opened by framing NFL Week 4 picks, noting how public perception often swings too far based on recent performances. He stated, “It's about not overreacting to one week,” emphasizing the importance of context and long-term data. His point set the tone: bettors must resist emotional reactions and focus on underlying team quality. Steve Fezzik 04:01–12:30 highlighted specific matchups and player stats. He pointed out, “Kirk Cousins has five touchdowns and only one interception this year,” framing Minnesota's offense as efficient despite their record. He contrasted this with turnovers, explaining how short fields impact team stats. His analysis suggested that Minnesota's fundamentals remain strong, and that the betting market might undervalue them. Scott Seidenberg 12:31–20:00 broke down trends. He said, “Favorites are only covering at 38% through three weeks,” which underscored the importance of considering underdogs early in the season. He explained that public bettors favor favorites, but sharp bettors capitalize on inflated lines. This observation had implications for several Week 4 lines, showing that market inefficiencies persist. RJ Bell 20:01–28:30 pivoted to broader team evaluations. He argued, “The Cowboys' defense has given up only 10 points per game,” highlighting elite defensive metrics. However, he warned that such dominance may regress against stronger offenses. By contextualizing stats, RJ showed how even strong numbers may not be sustainable, a reminder that stats need situational framing. Steve Fezzik 28:31–40:00 returned with targeted player and team analysis, noting how quarterback play under pressure often dictates outcomes. He emphasized, “Pressure rates are more predictive than sack totals,” underscoring how advanced metrics reveal true team strength. He connected this to Week 4 matchups where defensive pressure could swing results, highlighting that surface-level stats often mislead. Scott Seidenberg 40:01–50:00 focused on team situational spots. He noted, “Teams on short rest cover just 42% historically,” showing how rest disadvantages alter outcomes. He tied this to specific Week 4 games, suggesting bettors must factor scheduling into handicapping. His insight illuminated how off-field variables create hidden edges. RJ Bell 50:01–End closed by reiterating discipline. He remarked, “The goal isn't to win every game, it's to make good bets consistently,” stressing the importance of process over results. His final words carried weight, reminding listeners that smart wagering comes from context, trends, and data-driven decisions, not emotion. Learn more about your ad choices.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Week 5. [00:00 | Speaker 3] The discussion begins with intensity: “Offense, play fast. Defense, swarm. Swarm and tackle.” The repeated demand to “out-block, out-tackle, out-hit, out-hustle” and “Leave no doubt tonight!” frames a theme of urgency and dominance. [00:45 | Griffin Warner] Griffin introduces the Week 5 show, joking about Vanderbilt's surprising success and admitting their bets went 0-2 after a 2-0 streak, showing how volatile the season can be. [02:10 | Lonte Smith] Lonte reflects on UConn: “The UConn play was the wrong side,” noting they had chances but “couldn't capitalize and couldn't stop Kelly on the run.” He highlights Vanderbilt scoring 72, their most since 1918, underscoring how explosive games can get. [05:30 | Griffin Warner] Alabama vs Georgia comes up with Alabama +3 and total 52. [06:15 | Lonte Smith] Lonte stresses “My number is exactly three,” pointing to both teams' weak pass rush. Georgia ranks outside the top 100 in EPA per pass and has just three sacks, while Alabama has only 31 pressures. He predicts “an explosion of big plays” and loves the over 52.5, leaning slightly to Georgia at home. [12:40 | Griffin Warner] Griffin asks about shifts in program power. [13:20 | Lonte Smith] Lonte explains, “Bama is second tier to what Georgia is doing,” crediting Kirby Smart's continuity and NFL pipeline, while contrasting Saban's defensive style with DeBoer's offensive focus. [15:00 | Griffin Warner] Next is LSU at Ole Miss, with Ole Miss -1.5 and total 54.5. [15:45 | Lonte Smith] Lonte breaks down the quarterback dilemma: Trinidad Chambliss has been “nothing short of sensational,” while Austin Simmons is turnover-prone. LSU can exploit Ole Miss's weakness, “outside the top 115 in rush success rate.” He says, “The over is good regardless of quarterback.” [21:20 | Griffin Warner] Moving to Ohio State at Washington, Griffin notes the line moved from -12.5 to -8.5. [22:00 | Lonte Smith] Lonte cites, “Five and nine straight up for Power Four quarterbacks making their first road start.” Washington has a 21-game home win streak, one of the best in the nation. He suggests betting Washington early before Ohio State's depth shows, expecting an eventual Buckeye win by eight or nine points. [28:15 | Griffin Warner] Griffin asks why bettors move against “the number one program.” [28:40 | Lonte Smith] Lonte answers that sharps love home dogs, adding Washington's momentum, dual-threat QB De'Mon Williams, and cross-country travel factors make this a prime spot. [31:00 | Griffin Warner] Griffin introduces Oregon at Penn State, Oregon +3.5. [31:30 | Lonte Smith] Lonte says, “I love Penn State in this spot.” He criticizes Drew Aller, “outside the top 100 in QBR,” and weak receivers, but expects Penn State's elite defense in a whiteout to overwhelm Oregon despite Dante Moore's strong play. He predicts a 9-10 point Penn State win. [37:00 | Griffin Warner] Griffin highlights the impact of a night game at Happy Valley and travel challenges. [38:10 | Lonte Smith] Lonte agrees, noting Penn State's balance and defensive edge. [39:45 | Griffin Warner] Griffin offers promo code “Blitz20.” [41:00 | Lonte Smith] Lonte's best bet is Illinois +7 vs USC, citing USC's struggles traveling east and poor defense: “124th in rush success rate allowed.” With RB Aiden Lowry returning and QB Luke Altmyer's legs, Illinois can bounce back. [44:00 | Griffin Warner] Griffin agrees on the full touchdown value. His best bet is over 54.5 in LSU vs Ole Miss, banking on scoring regardless of quarterback uncertainty. [46:00 | Closing] Both hosts thank listeners, preview October matchups, and hope to rebound with winners. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 3. NFL Player Props – Week 3 [Opening Segment] (timestamps vary by section) The discussion centers on betting angles for Week 3 player props, with analysts pointing out favorable matchups and statistical trends. Direct quotes reveal a focus on efficiency and expected production. For example: “You have to look at how many times he's being targeted in the red zone, that's where the value comes in.” This emphasizes the importance of opportunity over pure yardage totals when evaluating props. [Quarterbacks] Attention is given to pass attempts and touchdowns. One speaker highlights: “Daniel Jones is averaging nearly 35 pass attempts per game, but the efficiency is what's holding him back.” This implies that volume alone does not guarantee fantasy or betting success—completion rates and game scripts matter. [Running Backs] Breece Hall is scrutinized for underwhelming production despite decent yards-per-carry averages. “He's sitting at 4.7 per carry, but without consistent usage, you can't back the over.” This underscores the risk of betting on backs whose offensive systems don't prioritize them. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason is framed as an emerging value: “He's looked better than Aaron Jones on limited touches, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.” This points to his growing role in the Vikings' backfield. [Wide Receivers & Tight Ends] The analysts debate Kyle Pitts versus Cade Otten, noting Pitts' “11 receptions on 13 targets, 96 yards” compared with Otten's potential boost due to Buccaneers' injuries. The commentary suggests Pitts remains a frustrating hold while Otten could be a buy-low play. For receivers, Keenan Allen is praised for “17 targets and two touchdowns already”, reinforcing his role as Justin Herbert's primary option. [Team-Level Context] Defenses are tied into betting strategy. The Buccaneers' run-stopping prowess—“allowing just 105 rushing yards total through two games”—is highlighted as a reason to fade certain running backs. Conversely, the Panthers' weak rush defense bolsters confidence in Atlanta's ground-heavy attack led by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for week 3. Dream Podcast – NFL Week 3 Picks Breakdown [Steve Fezzik] (0:00 - 0:04) opens abruptly, his words more like a countdown rhythm, setting a casual yet energized tone. [RJ Bell] (0:06 - 0:42) quickly frames the session with enthusiasm, declaring, “Fez was strong on this one. Acme. Just think Acme is the key word.” He underscores the rarity of what's being offered, stressing this is one of only “four times in the year” where buyers can get unusual value. His analysis implies urgency and scarcity, pressing listeners to act. [Steve Fezzik] (0:43 - 0:48) confirms, “Normally the best deal is you buy for 10 bucks, you get $50 that's offered like once a year.” The importance is clear: maximizing bankroll through this offer is a bettor's edge. [RJ Bell] (0:48 - 1:57) elaborates, repeating “10 gets you 50” while comparing bulk dollars to currency that “never expires.” He emphasizes, “You can spend bulk dollars just like cash never expires,” framing them as stable and advantageous. His implication is that investing here amplifies purchasing power and locks in long-term flexibility. [Steve Fezzik] (1:57 - 2:00) briefly shifts, noting “Hey doc, sports is still going strong,” signaling momentum and reinforcing credibility. [RJ Bell] (2:00 - 2:22) redirects to performance, praising Fezzik: “In college football this season, Steve Fezzik is up 43 units plus. How do you do that in three weeks?” The statistic highlights extraordinary profitability, anchoring Fezzik's authority. [Steve Fezzik] (2:22 - 2:23) explains simply, “High volume,” acknowledging his strategy. [RJ Bell] (2:23 - 2:36) pushes further, asking about availability of picks, emphasizing immediacy. [Steve Fezzik] (2:36 - 2:47) clarifies, “I got my Thursday, Friday college football package up. So I got plays multiple plays for Thursday and Friday,” stressing preparedness and access. [RJ Bell] (2:47 - 3:02) advises Fezzik to release weekend packages early, suggesting buyers will maximize the $10-to-$50 offer, showing a direct connection between financial deal and betting content. [Steve Fezzik] (3:04 - 3:14) adds credibility, noting, “I already won my underdog game of the year. Georgia Tech beats Clemson bonus pick… Clemson under nine and a half wins.” These stats reinforce his sharp projections and long-term leverage, demonstrating foresight on both single games and season totals. [RJ Bell] (3:14 - 4:54) amplifies Fezzik's success: “That's over 10 units. That's like 14 units a week.” He frames it as “crazy,” underscoring just how rare such hot streaks are. His analysis ties the value of the bulk dollar promotion to Fezzik's picks, arguing this is the “wise guy move.” He instructs listeners to buy through Pregame.com, directly linking purchase mechanics to betting success. [Steve Fezzik] (4:55 - 5:18) pivots to NFL observations: “There are no upsets in the NFL anymore… if you just money lined every four point favorite and higher so far, you are undefeated.” This team-level trend reveals a major shift in survivor pool dynamics, implying fewer surprises early in the season. He cautions it may be an “aberration” but still impactful for Week 3 strategy. [RJ Bell] (5:18 - 5:20) challenges why lead with an aberration, sharpening the analysis. [Steve Fezzik] (5:28 - 5:47) closes this segment by pointing to contrarian betting: “If you had done nothing but bet 0–2 teams week three in the NFL catching points 48, 27…” His stat illustrates historical strength of fading public panic on struggling teams, reinforcing his long-term contrarian philosophy.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Week 4. Early Reflections (0:32 – 4:26) Griffin celebrated the “first 2-0 of the season.” Lonte added, “Great weekend for us going 2-0… all the big games delivered.” Griffin recalled missing Tennessee-Georgia moments at an Arkansas watch party, while Lonte defended his Southern Miss pick, saying they “dominated this game” over App State. Market Volatility (4:27 – 6:40) Griffin called college line swings “chaos compared to the NFL or MLB.” Lonte noted CLV matters only “55% on three-plus moves.” Utah vs. Texas Tech (6:40 – 11:07) Utah's “60% rush success rate” and Morton's road issues (“80 grade at home, under 60 away”) led Lonte to lean Utah/under, projecting “23-20.” Griffin agreed: Utah -3. Michigan vs. Nebraska (11:43 – 14:33) Underwood's 114 yards, 2 TDs boost Michigan vs. Nebraska's weak run defense (“outside top 120 EPA”). Lonte leaned Huskers as home dogs; Griffin backed that angle. Auburn vs. Oklahoma (16:09 – 19:13) Auburn's defense “first in rush success rate allowed.” Lonte called for “23-20 or 20-17,” taking Auburn +6.5 and under. Griffin agreed, eyeing +7. Illinois vs. Indiana (20:21 – 25:02) Illinois' veteran team and Duke road win contrasted with Indiana QB Mendoza, who “struggles against blitz and man coverage.” Lonte liked Illinois +4.5/over. Best Bets (26:03 – 31:12) Lonte: UConn -21 (UConn “top 15 in success rate” vs. Ball State's defense “outside top 110”). Griffin: Utah -3 (trust in home edge, QB splits). Takeaway Defense, weak schedules, and market inefficiencies drove every angle. Player stats (Underwood's rushing, UConn's efficiency) and team metrics (Auburn's #1 defense) shaped sharp Week 4 picks.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year's success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May's solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders' poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver's elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina's porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers' quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina's ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson's historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson's breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns' passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco's chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland's passing attack matches well against Cincinnati's suspect defense and that Flacco's recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week's most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing. For fans and bettors alike, it offers a blend of strategy, insight, and practical plays to launch the NFL season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk college football betting for Week 2. The Week 2 preview of the College Football Podcast on RJ Bell's Pregame network opened with energy, emphasizing fast offense, swarming defense, and relentless hustle. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith immediately addressed Week 1 results, acknowledging that it wasn't the strongest start but pointing to process over outcome. They stressed closing line value as a long-term indicator, comparing it to stock market performance, and noted that Week 1 was dominated by unders, with many offenses struggling to find rhythm. Quarterback uncertainty remained the headline, with Arch Manning's rocky debut sparking debate. Warner went as far as to call him potentially the most overrated quarterback of all time, while Smith defended him by pointing out the caliber of Ohio State's elite defense. The discussion then shifted to broader conference takeaways. The ACC impressed in Week 1, particularly Florida State's big win, while Clemson's struggles stood out. Cal's freshman quarterback also earned praise for a breakout performance. The panel agreed that the top of the ACC looks strong with Florida State, Clemson, Duke, and Georgia Tech, while the bottom remains unsettled. From there, the show broke down marquee Week 2 matchups. SMU versus Baylor set the stage, with Baylor's defensive front and ability to stop explosive plays highlighted as key factors. Despite SMU entering as a small favorite, Smith leaned Baylor's way, questioning whether SMU had shown enough balance to justify the line. Next, the heated Iowa–Iowa State rivalry came into focus. The history of low-scoring slugfests made the under 41.5 an attractive play. Smith backed Iowa State's improved offense under Rocco Beck but insisted the real value lay in expecting another defensive battle. Illinois against Duke was another spotlight game. Both teams leaned on defense, but Duke's elite secondary and Manny Diaz's blitz-heavy schemes tilted the panel's confidence toward the Blue Devils. Warner emphasized that road favorites early in the season are often overvalued, making Duke's home underdog status particularly appealing. The nightcap, Michigan versus Oklahoma, focused on defensive dominance. Brent Venables' track record of confusing quarterbacks and Michigan's conservative freshman game plan pointed to another under. Smith's best angle was the first-half under 23.5, predicting a slow start with heavy ground games, limited big plays, and quarterbacks trying to settle in against relentless defenses. The show wrapped with best bets. Smith locked in Florida minus 17.5 against South Florida, pointing to mismatches in the trenches, Lagway's deep-ball ability, and Florida's familiarity with the spread concepts USF runs. Warner sided with the Iowa–Iowa State under 41.5, banking on punts, field position battles, and Kirk Ferentz's trademark conservative approach. Overall, the podcast captured the essence of early-season handicapping: balancing small-sample overreactions with long-term process discipline. Week 1 brought surprises, quarterback drama, and defensive dominance, but Week 2 promised opportunities with sharp numbers, classic rivalries, and critical matchups that could shape conference races. Whether it was Florida's talent edge, Duke's defensive identity, or the under trend in rivalry games, the conversation blended data, betting insight, and storytelling, giving listeners a comprehensive game plan heading into Saturday.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL season win totals. Dream Pod Bonus Recap: NFL Season Win Totals and Best Bets The Dream Pod Bonus – NFL Season Win Totals + Best Bets episode brought together RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers for a sharp, data-driven breakdown of the 2024 NFL season. They covered market biases, strength of schedule, injuries, and identified which NFL win total bets offered the best value. Here's a streamlined recap by timestamps. The team kicked off by explaining how the public's love for betting overs creates built-in value on unders. RJ Bell noted that bookmakers shade lines up, especially around key numbers like 11.5 or 12 wins. By playing unders across the board, bettors can often gain a small but real edge. Fezzik shared his simple rule: bet overs on teams with elite QB/coach duos and unders on teams without. RJ pressed him to define “elite” more carefully. They emphasized the importance of strength of schedule (SOS), pointing out preseason projections often shift by about a point over a season—enough to flip a bet result. The Kansas City Chiefs opened at 11.5 wins but dipped to 11.1 in the market. The hosts leaned under, citing fatigue from deep playoff runs and questions about Travis Kelce's age. The Denver Broncos looked like an over play at first, but RJ argued their soft schedule inflated last year's success. For the Cleveland Browns, optimism exists with Kevin Stefanski and a strong defense, though Deshaun Watson's inconsistency lingers as a concern. The Cincinnati Bengals, set at 10 wins, were viewed as an under due to reliance on Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase and a roster vulnerable to injuries. The Washington Commanders overperformed last season by about 1.5 wins while ranking poorly on defense, leading to a strong under recommendation. The Detroit Lions, despite winning 14 games, lost two top-tier offensive linemen. With their line at 10.5 wins, the team could still regress and hit the under. The Minnesota Vikings were considered for an over due to Kevin O'Connell's coaching and potential improvement, even though sharp money leaned under. The Carolina Panthers were a consensus under pick, with Bryce Young's struggles, cluster injuries, and one of the league's weakest defenses raising red flags. The Dream Pod crew hammered home a principle you've lived by for decades: the best value in NFL betting often lies in playing the unders, since the market bakes in public optimism for overs. They highlighted how injury clusters and strength of schedule shifts can swing outcomes by multiple wins, creating hidden opportunity. Their best bets leaned under on the Chiefs, Bengals, Commanders, and Panthers, while showing some confidence in overs for the Vikings and Broncos. For your approach at Pregame, this aligns perfectly with your focus on consistency, discipline, and real-time data analysis. Just as you emphasize tracking live stats to catch hidden edges before the line moves, the Dream Pod underscored how numbers often reveal truths the public overlooks. Their message matches your own: stay disciplined, avoid chasing inflated lines, and remember that every NFL Sunday brings a fresh chance to find value.

Munaf Manji and Lonte Smith talk NFL season long player props and much more. The 2025 NFL season kicks off with Pregame's Props Podcast diving into NFL player props and futures betting. Host Munaf Manji (0:05–0:59) returns after last year's success, joined by Lonte Smith from the College Football Podcast, ready to break down the best season-long prop bets across quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. By the one-minute mark (0:59–1:18), Lonte expresses excitement for profitability and preparation as kickoff approaches. Munaf (1:18–2:34) lays out the plan: four props each across positions, reminding listeners to shop for the best numbers. Quarterbacks open the show. Lonte (2:35–4:16) takes Justin Herbert under 3,650.5 yards, pointing to Jim Harbaugh's run-heavy approach, the addition of Najee Harris, Herbert's injury history, and a tough AFC West. Munaf (4:16–6:21) agrees, highlighting Herbert's inconsistency, weak defenses inflating numbers last year, and how divisional upgrades could suppress his totals. Munaf (6:24–8:59) then targets J.J. McCarthy under 3,650.5 yards. The rookie Viking, fresh off an ACL recovery, faces high expectations equal to top-12 rookie seasons all time. With Justin Jefferson's hamstring, Addison's suspension, and a run-first scheme with Aaron Jones, he calls the over unrealistic. Lonte (9:00–10:45) echoes that McCarthy isn't a gunslinger and won't consistently reach 300 yards weekly. Running backs bring debate. Lonte (11:22–12:53) bets Breece Hall over 5.5 rushing TDs, boosted by Justin Fields creating lighter boxes and red-zone chances. Munaf (12:59–15:45) takes the opposite side, fading Hall's rushing yards under 850.5 due to offensive line issues, Fields' dual-threat style, and negative game scripts forcing the Jets to pass. Receivers headline next. Lonte (18:41–19:32) backs Tyreek Hill over 980.5 yards, calling it a buy-low after last season's 959 yards. Munaf (21:07–23:21) supports the case, noting Hill's 82 career TDs and Miami's playoff-or-bust year. Munaf (23:22–25:33) also hammers Mike Evans over 950.5 yards, citing his decade-long 1,000-yard streak, Mayfield's trust, and a thin Bucs WR corps. Tight ends feature with Lonte's favorite play (28:13–30:52): Tyler Warren over 575.5 yards. A first-round pick in an empty Colts WR room, Warren projects as a focal point. Munaf (31:14–35:11) agrees, pointing to his 6'6” frame and red zone upside. For his final pick, Munaf (31:14–35:11) highlights Drake London over 1,225.5 yards, citing Michael Penix Jr.'s arm and London's 100-catch, 1,271-yard 2023. Lonte (35:12–37:08) compares London to Mike Evans and sees expanded slot usage boosting targets. They close with bonus leans: George Pickens over 875.5 yards in Dallas' pass-first system (38:00–39:19), Bucky Irving over 1,000.5 rushing yards if he seizes RB1 (41:27–43:49), and Matthew Stafford unders given lingering back injuries (43:50–44:55). Both spotlight C.J. Stroud (44:59–49:14) as a breakout candidate with new weapons, betting angles pointing to potential MVP value at 25–30/1. This debut 2025 Props Podcast underscores why NFL season-long player prop betting is surging: sharp handicapping, injury context, scheme fits, and matchup analysis. From Herbert and McCarthy unders to Hill, Evans, Warren, and London overs, the insights offer bettors actionable edges for the new season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith get you ready for CFB Week 1 betting. The Week 1 college football betting podcast kicked off with fiery motivation: play fast on offense, swarm and tackle on defense, and leave no doubt on the field (0:07–0:32). Host Griffin Warner welcomed listeners to the first full slate after Week 0's appetizer, joined by analyst Lonte Smith, promising best bets, betting previews, and Pregame.com promos (0:33–1:25). Lonte recapped Week 0: Kansas State's sloppy turnovers, Western Kentucky's win vs. Sam Houston, Kansas covering easily, and Hawaii splitting. The team split best bets but gained valuable data points, setting the stage for a bigger Week 1 (1:26–2:26). Griffin noted their 1–1 start before discussing Farmageddon: Iowa State upset Kansas State despite being outgained, thanks to field conditions and missed chances. Lonte highlighted K-State's run defense concerns and Iowa State QB Rocco Becht's poise (2:26–5:12). Focus turned to Thursday and Friday action. Boise State opened -8.5 but dropped to -5.5 against South Florida. Lonte leaned over 62.5, citing Boise's dominant offensive line and USF's explosive scheme with QB Byrum Brown, while both defenses struggle with consistency. Griffin noted USF's true home edge at Raymond James Stadium and the attractiveness of betting a home underdog (5:12–10:58). Next came East Carolina vs. NC State, a heated in-state rivalry. ECU returns QB Caden Howes but lost top backs and receivers along with most of its defense. NC State counters with QB C.J. Bailey and a strong WR trio. With both defenses questionable, Lonte recommended over 61.5, predicting Dave Doeren will keep scoring to make a statement (10:59–15:04). Friday's Auburn vs. Baylor clash featured Auburn as -2.5 favorites with total 58. Lonte praised Auburn QB Jackson Arnold behind one of the best offensive lines in college football and a deep WR group, attacking Baylor's secondary that ranked near the bottom nationally. Baylor QB Sawyer Roberson is underrated but struggles under pressure. Lonte leaned Auburn and over, expecting both offenses to produce (15:35–19:39). Georgia Tech vs. Colorado followed, with Tech -5. Lonte is high on Tech's physicality and returning production while fading Colorado after losing Shadur Sanders and top weapons. With QB uncertainty between Salter and Juju Lewis and no running game, Colorado faces major issues. Georgia Tech's balanced offense and experience make them a strong play, with a possible team total over. Public hype favors Deion Sanders, but sharps bet Colorado unders. Lonte called Georgia Tech an ACC dark horse (20:37–26:58). The show closed with Pregame.com promos: code “college50” saves $50 on season packages, plus Greg Shaker's contest with $1,000 cash prizes (26:59–28:08). For best bets, Lonte picked Charlotte +6.5 vs. Appalachian State, noting coaching upgrades and a defense-first identity (28:08–29:51). Griffin chose over 61.5 in NC State vs. ECU, echoing offensive advantages and defensive weaknesses (29:51–31:10). The podcast ended optimistic, teasing Saturday's monster slate including Texas vs. Ohio State (31:10–31:44). This streamlined Week 1 college football betting preview blends expert picks, point spread analysis, totals recommendations, and sharp betting angles. Key games include Boise State vs. South Florida, ECU vs. NC State, Auburn vs. Baylor, and Georgia Tech vs. Colorado, with actionable best bets on Charlotte +6.5 and NC State vs. ECU over 61.5. Bettors get insights into line movement, public vs. sharp action, and matchup breakdowns, making this must-read coverage for anyone chasing value in Week 1 college football odds.

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 Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The MLB Friday betting preview with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner broke down twelve games with both hosts riding an 8–2 streak on best bets. Munaf opened by stressing the urgency with roughly 35 games left, while Griffin noted, “we're getting hot at the right time of year.” Colorado at Pittsburgh led the card. Antonio Senzatela, torched in a 17–16 loss the last time he saw the Pirates, carries a 2–8 road record. Munaf called the over 8.5 the best angle. Griffin, mocking the Rockies as “one of the least competitive franchises in global sports,” leaned Pirates at home but doubted unders due to Colorado bats. Washington at Philadelphia followed with Cade Cavalli against Taijuan Walker. Cavalli threw seven shutout innings versus the Phillies previously, but Munaf warned that rematches favor the hitters. Griffin advised focusing on Phillies run lines and blowout props. The Red Sox at Yankees matchup paired Brayan Bello with Max Fried. Griffin argued the line “doesn't respect what Bello has done,” while Munaf highlighted Boston's 6–1 record in Bello's last seven against New York. Fried has allowed four or more runs in four of his last five. Both favored Boston plus money. Houston at Baltimore featured Lance McCullers in his first start since July 19 against Cade Povich. Griffin pointed to Houston's offensive slump of just eight runs in seven games. Munaf doubted McCullers' sharpness and leaned over nine, adding that Adley Rutschman is sidelined and Josh Hader likely out until October. In Detroit, Ryan Bergen faced Casey Mize. Munaf cited Mize's 3.63 ERA and 103 strikeouts, with Detroit winning his last four starts. Griffin criticized Mize's All-Star nod and praised Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez. Both leaned under early but saw Royals value. The Mets at Braves matchup showcased rookie Nolan McLean, who struck out eight but walked four in his debut. Griffin favored Atlanta as a home dog and the over 8.5, while Munaf leaned similarly, noting hot Atlanta weather would boost scoring. St. Louis at Tampa Bay featured Miles Mikolas against Adrian Houser. Griffin trusted the Rays' bullpen, while Munaf stressed Mikolas' inconsistency and backed Tampa at -128. Minnesota at Chicago pitted Zebby Matthews against Aaron Civale. Griffin quickly said, “give me the White Sox.” Munaf agreed, citing Matthews' 5.06 ERA and Chicago's 7–3 record at home on Friday nights, all as underdogs. In Texas, Slade Cecconi met Nathan Eovaldi. Griffin praised Eovaldi's Cy Young-level form, recommending under plays. Munaf backed that, noting Rangers home unders sit at 64.5 percent. Milwaukee hosting San Francisco saw Carson Whisenhunt oppose José Quintana. Griffin highlighted Bryce Turang's surge, while Munaf cited Milwaukee's 42–20 home record and San Francisco's 13–22 mark against lefties, backing Brewers run line at plus money. Cincinnati at Arizona matched Zach Littell with Ryne Nelson. Munaf praised Nelson's 5–1, 2.20 ERA home mark across 57 innings, backing the Diamondbacks and their team total. Griffin agreed Arizona held value despite a high price. The Dodgers at Padres closed the slate with Blake Snell against Yu Darvish. Griffin trusted Darvish's improvement and liked San Diego as a home underdog. Munaf leaned to the under eight, noting Snell's six scoreless innings against the Padres last week but citing Darvish's 2.55 career ERA in 16 appearances versus Los Angeles. Best bets closed the show. Griffin picked Tampa Bay over St. Louis, while Munaf selected the over in Houston and Baltimore, both looking to extend their winning streak into the weekend.

RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk Preseason to NFL Week 1 best bets. The latest Dream Podcast episode, “PreSeasonPalooza, 15 Bets!!,” is a classic mix of sharp betting systems, insider debates, and off-the-rails humor, the kind of show that feels like sitting in a sportsbook bar where the conversation drifts from ATS systems to Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson. RJ Bell opens by reminding listeners about the special Pregame discounts and touting the records of handicappers like AJ Hoffman, Goodfella, and others, before pivoting into the heart of the show: an unusually strong batch of preseason Week 3 betting angles. McKenzie Rivers kicks things off with a light story about the Taste of Chicago festival, which leads RJ into a tangent about Stevie Wonder's 2008 performance and the eternal debate over Chicago deep dish pizza, the type of side story that illustrates how much the Dream Pod thrives on detail and memory. From there, the real substance begins. RJ emphasizes that this preseason slate may be the best group of plays he has seen, with twelve recommendations and five best bets, while McKenzie contributes three researched totals for Week 1, giving listeners over fifteen actionable wagers. McKenzie's primary research zeroes in on the effect of quarterbacks who do not play a single snap in the preseason. Since the NFL moved to a three-game preseason in 2021, those teams have gone 27–12 to the under in Week 1, with an average ATS margin of –2.6 points. Their team totals also fall short, averaging –3.2 compared to expectations. RJ pushes back, calling the no-snap approach “idiotic,” arguing that football players improve by playing football, but McKenzie notes the trend has only grown stronger. They cite teams like the Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Falcons, Rams, Bills, and Ravens as Week 1 under candidates, especially in games like Cowboys vs Eagles, Buccaneers vs Falcons, and Ravens vs Bills. In classic forum fashion, the pod spins into a debate about Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady, with McKenzie insisting the numbers favor Manning's brilliance and RJ countering that Brady's postseason success and rings will age better historically. From there they wander into Bird vs Magic, Bill Walton's brief dominance, and Gilbert Arenas' scoring outbursts, demonstrating how sports arguments naturally expand. Eventually RJ reins it back in with his own powerful Week 3 preseason system: play favorites who lost both straight up and against the spread in Week 2. Since 2021 these teams are 14–5–1 ATS, but the real gold is in the first quarter, where they are effectively undefeated with massive scoring margins. At home the trend is even stronger, with a 10–1 ATS record and a combined +180 point margin. RJ breaks down which teams qualify this year, including Kansas City, Detroit, the Jets, and Dallas at home, plus Bills, Steelers, Raiders, and Chargers on the road. He highlights home teams in the first quarter as the true best bet subset, noting an 11–0 record with an average +9 point differential. The conversation shifts to how small sample size intersects with logical consistency, with RJ stressing that this system passes the test because it makes sense up and down the spectrum. McKenzie adds that home momentum explains why the advantage continues beyond the opening quarter. As always, the pod mixes sharp betting insight with humor, from round robin discussions to jokes about Britney Spears movies on Easter. The episode closes with RJ previewing Pregame's content schedule: the annual Quarterback Draft, the Season Win Totals Over/Under show, and weekly Dream Previews through the Super Bowl. The takeaway for bettors is clear: Week 1 unders for teams with zero preseason QB snaps, and Week 3 first quarter plays for favorites off a loss, especially at home, form the strongest edges going into the season.

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.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith dive into CFB Week 0. Week Zero of the college football season always feels like a strange appetizer, a slate that is light on the number of games but heavy on storylines, betting intrigue, and fan chatter. This year the action opens overseas with Iowa State and Kansas State meeting in Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. It is a neutral-site matchup, a clash of Big 12 rivals being played far from home in a stadium more accustomed to soccer than Saturday gridiron. Iowa State has enjoyed recent dominance in the series, winning four of the last five, but Kansas State enters as a three-point favorite with a stronger defensive front and the potential breakout of quarterback Avery Johnson in a tempo-driven system. Rocco Beck threw for 3,500 yards last season but lost his two best targets to the NFL, and Matt Campbell's team feels due for regression after an 11-3 campaign. Some see value on Kansas State to cover, while others eye the under at fifty given the travel, the surface, and the potential for sloppy execution early. Later in the afternoon Kansas christens its new stadium with a visit from Fresno State, a matchup that has already seen line movement from fourteen down to twelve and a half. The Jayhawks return quarterback Jalen Daniels, whose health has long been a question, and welcome new defensive coordinator D.K. McDonald. Kansas finished strong last year and will have the benefit of a true home environment after a season of displacement. Fresno State is rebuilding under Matt Entz, the North Dakota State coach with a sterling FCS record now testing himself at the FBS level. With new coordinators, a new quarterback in EJ Warner, and the loss of most of last year's offensive stars, the Bulldogs face a tall order. Many bettors trust Kansas to handle business at home, though the total has dropped with expectations of more ball control on both sides. Sam Houston State and Western Kentucky offer a different style of entertainment, with points expected in bunches. The Bearkats bring in Phil Longo to reshape their offense, but it may take more than an offseason to get the scheme working with the current roster. Western Kentucky has become synonymous with explosive passing attacks, and even with a new offensive coordinator the Hilltoppers appear loaded for another high-flying year. Maverick McIver arrives with his play-caller from Abilene Christian, and the line has climbed from seven and a half to double digits. The sharper angle might be Western Kentucky in the first half, laying six and a half before late backdoor scenarios creep in. The finale is the traditional late-night Hawaii game, this time with Stanford crossing the Pacific under interim coach Frank Reich. The Cardinal are in disarray, with Andrew Luck now functioning in a front office role, an entirely new staff, and very little proven talent outside a few safeties. Hawaii, meanwhile, brings back thirteen starters, excitement around quarterback Micah Alejandro after his 500-yard debut, and an upgraded receiving corps that even includes a Stanford transfer. The line has flipped from Stanford favored to Hawaii by two, with bettors trusting the Warriors' continuity and island home field. With Stanford unsettled and Hawaii motivated, many expect the Rainbow Warriors to control the matchup. Week Zero is quirky, often sharp with numbers that have been posted for months, but it provides the first chance to analyze real action and measure offseason narratives. Kansas State versus Iowa State in Dublin sets the tone, Kansas and Fresno showcase new beginnings in Lawrence, Western Kentucky promises fireworks against Sam Houston, and Hawaii gets its chance to shine against a fallen Stanford. Best bets circle around Kansas State laying three and the under in that opener, but as always the debate will rage across forums and living rooms as fans celebrate the return of college football and the long march toward a new season of Saturdays.

Munaf (5:14–6:52) adds Brewers are 23–5 since the break, Cubs 13–15, their bats flat with Crow-Armstrong and Tucker slumping.

Munaf (7:13–7:56) shifts to Cardinals at Marlins, McGreevy vs Cabrera, Miami –132. Griffin (7:58–9:27) says St. Louis sold at the deadline, bullpen shaky, GM retiring, so it's Marlins or nothing.

Mariners at Phillies (22:24–25:34): Griffin doubts Miller's return, Munaf stresses Sanchez's 9–1 home record, both back Philadelphia. Orioles at Red Sox (25:35–28:53): Griffin finds Buehler unreliable, Munaf says he struggles to string good starts, both lean over 9.5. White Sox at Braves (28:54–32:06): little faith in either side, White Sox bullpen dismissed. Yankees at Rays (33:11–37:46): Griffin praises Boz but doubts Yankees' management; Munaf notes Rodon's 3.25 ERA, New York's seven wins in ten, and Rays' cooling bats, siding Yankees –140. Rangers at Royals (37:48–43:38): Lugo has allowed 13 runs in two starts, Griffin leans Rangers with Kelly, Munaf agrees. Athletics at Twins (43:39–47:04): Lopez hasn't allowed an earned run in 24 innings, Ryan is 12–5 with 2.72 ERA, both lean under but wary of regression. Brewers at Cubs Game 2 (47:06–51:15): Woodruff vs Taillon, Griffin surprised Brewers favored on road but won't fade them, Munaf notes they've won every Woodruff start. Dodgers at Rockies (51:17–53:15): Sheehan vs Gomber, both expect runs at Coors, backing the over. Reds at Angels (53:16–55:49): Griffin tired of Hendricks, Munaf impressed by Greene's six shutout innings vs Phillies, siding Reds. Giants at Padres (55:51–58:50): Tang gave up six runs in his last outing, Pavetta 12–4 with a 2.7 ERA, Munaf backs Padres team total. Guardians at Diamondbacks (58:58–1:03:18): Griffin distrusts Rodriguez but sees Arizona's bats dangerous; Munaf notes E-Rod's poor 5.73 ERA at home, both lean over. Best bets (1:03:44–1:07:35): Griffin locks Astros–Tigers under seven, saying two aces and shaky offenses make it valuable. Munaf selects Yankees ML with Rodon, trusting their form and urgency. They close (1:07:35–1:09:14) with promos and optimism, determined to keep putting money in listeners' pockets as the postseason nears. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Munaf Manji opens by previewing the weekend MLB slate, noting tightening division races and their current 6-0 best bet streak, aiming to match last year's 10-0 run. Griffin Warner jokes about his long commute before they dive into Friday's matchups. They start with the Cubs hosting the Pirates, Braxton Ashcraft versus Colin Rea, Cubs -196, total 9. Griffin cites Pittsburgh's weak road offense and bullpen reliance, favoring Chicago, possibly the under if the wind is in. Munaf highlights Chicago's strong record after losses, with Rea solid at home, backing Cubs -1.5 at -105. For Phillies at Nationals, Zach Wheeler faces MacKenzie Gore, PHI -175, total 8. Griffin notes Wheeler's home run troubles but likes the over; Munaf recalls Gore's two earlier meetings with Philadelphia and prefers PHI -1.5. In Texas at Toronto, Jacob deGrom meets Chris Bassitt, TOR +101, total 7.5. Griffin declares the Rangers' season “cooked” and picks Toronto, telling an “inside the pork” joke. Munaf cites Bassitt's dominant home record and leans Blue Jays and under. Miami at Boston sees Sandy Alcantara against Lucas Giolito, BOS -163, total 9. Griffin doubts Alcantara's form and leans over; Munaf notes his road over trend and favors BOS team total and full game over. Atlanta at Cleveland has Hurston Waldrep against Joey Cantillo, CLE -120, total 9. Griffin cites ATL injuries and poor road form, liking Cleveland; Munaf notes Atlanta's 23-38 road record and backs CLE. Seattle at New York Mets features Luis Castillo versus Sean Manaea, NYM -111, total 8.5. Griffin distrusts the Mets' bullpen, leaning Seattle; Munaf notes Mariners' road success in Castillo starts but with some caution. Baltimore at Houston matches Brandon Young against Framber Valdez, HOU -243, total 8. Griffin doubts Young's MLB quality; Munaf cites HOU's 8-3 home record with Valdez, backing -1.5. Chicago White Sox at Kansas City pits Aaron Civale against Noah Cameron, KC -180, total 9. Griffin dislikes KC as a home favorite but doubts CWS; Munaf sees value on CWS. Yankees at Cardinals has Luis Gil versus Andre Pallante, NYY -126, total 9. Griffin says STL sold key pieces; Munaf sees Gil in form and likes NYY. Arizona at Colorado, Brandon Pfaadt against Tanner Gordon, ARI -180, total 12. Griffin calls Pfaadt unpredictable, leaning over; Munaf notes Coors Field overs profitable, siding with over and slight COL lean. Angels at A's has Yusei Kikuchi versus Jack Perkins, near-even odds, total 10. Griffin favors whichever is underdog; Munaf leans under due to Kikuchi's poor road record. Tampa Bay at San Francisco pits Joel Boyle against Landen Roupp, SF -122, total 8. Griffin notes SF's poor offense and Boyle's HR issues, liking TB plus money; Munaf favors SF for Roupp's form.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the BMW Championship and best outright ticket for the Danish Golf Championship -Reviewing Memphis featuring sound from Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler -Rickie Fowler sig. event points situation, hearing from Fowler on performance in Memphis -Ryder Cup scenarios featuring sound of Cantlay discussing Ryder Cup hopes and Keegan's dilemma -Discussing top 7 on odds board at Caves -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 BMW outright (40/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRL, 2 lineups, scoring -Best Bet -Danish Golf Championship outright (35/1) Will Doctor opens with energy, introducing the BMW Championship at Caves Valley as week two of the FedExCup Playoffs and recapping a dramatic Memphis finish where Justin Rose, at 175–1 odds, claimed his 12th PGA Tour title by birdieing four of his last five holes to beat J.J. Spaun. Rose described his win as stoic, marked by determination and calmness, admitting that focus on execution muted his joy in the moment. Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor's betting card suffered as Scheffler's Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn't fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun's grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley's inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe's locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley's redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler's form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy's driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay's price is too short given recent results. This week's picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk College Football Group of Five betting. 0:05 – 0:31 Opening motivational speech emphasizing speed, defensive swarming, and physical dominance — “Out-block, out-tackle, out-hit, out-hustle” — with a repeated call to “leave no doubt tonight.” 0:31 – 1:19 Griffin Warner Introduces the College Football Podcast episode focusing on Group of Five teams, following a prior episode on the Power Four. Announces a promo code and a college football contest, noting the goal is to identify season-long betting opportunities. Date: Tuesday, 1:45 – 2:33 Griffin Warner Explains that Group of Five games offer strong betting opportunities. Begins with Army (West Point) win total: Over 7.5 at +110, Under 7.5 at -140 on BetOnline. 2:35 – 4:41 Lonte Smith — Army Analysis 2023 Recap: 12–2, AAC champions, led by QB Bryson Daly (dark horse Heisman) and RB Kanye Udo. Losses: Daly to graduation, Udo to Arizona State, two Joe Moore Award-winning offensive tackles, best defensive player to Georgia. Returning Talent: Six of top ten tacklers; LB corps Miller & Thomas praised. Concerns: Offensive drop-off, new OL coach, challenging schedule (Tulane, UTSA, Navy, Air Force). Projection: 7–5 ceiling, 6–6 floor → leans Under 7.5. 4:41 – 6:08 Griffin Warner & Lonte Smith — Schedule Talk Army's 2024 slate includes K-State, North Texas, Tulane, Air Force, Navy (in Baltimore). Lonte favors Navy among service academies, citing better returning production and depth. 7:16 – 14:52 Western Kentucky (C-USA) Odds: Over 7.5 (-125), Under 7.5 (-105). 2023: 8–6 record. Roster: Only 3 starters return (1 offense, 2 defense). Poor 2023 rush defense (224 YPG). Key Additions: QB Maverick McIver (Abilene Christian, 3,500+ yds, 37 TDs), OC Rick Bowie (former Abilene OC). WR Matt Henry (1,100+ yds at Western Illinois). Concerns: OL continuity, defensive holes, rush defense. Schedule: Winnable home games; road tests at Toledo, Delaware, Missouri State. Projection: ~8.6 wins → leans Over 7.5. 15:43 – 20:22 Bowling Green (MAC) Odds: Over 6.5 (+200), Under 6.5 (-260). 2023: 7–6 (6–2 MAC). Changes: New HC Eddie George; ranked 130th in returning production; offense loses top TE hero Fanning (drafted by Browns). Defense: Loses 13 of top 15 tacklers but adds FCS standouts (including Eddie George's son). Schedule: Lafayette, Cincinnati, Liberty, Louisville early; Toledo and Buffalo at home. Projection: Depth concerns, brutal early stretch → Under (expects ~4–8). 20:53 – 25:10 Air Force (MWC) Odds: Over/Under 6.5 (-115). 2023: 5–7 after starting 1–7, finished on 4-game win streak. Roster: 9 returning starters (6 offense, 3 defense). QB battle (Johnson favored). OL returns 3 starters plus 2 with experience. Defense: Allowed 23 PPG; DL led by Peyton Zurch. Schedule: Bucknell, Boise, Navy, Wyoming, Army, UNLV, SJSU, UConn. Projection: Manageable slate, strong finish expected → Over 6.5 (7–8 wins). 25:38 – 31:06 Georgia Southern (Sun Belt) Odds: Over 7.5 (+130), Under (-160). 2023: 8–5. Roster: 10 starters return (5 offense, 5 defense). QB J.C. French (2,500+ yds, 17 TDs, 11 INTs, 66% comp). Deep WR corps; strong OL with most combined starts in Sun Belt. Defense: Needs rush D improvement; strong secondary led by Chance Gamble. Schedule: Fresno, USC, Jacksonville State, JMU, Coastal, ODU, Marshall. Projection: Favors in most conference games except JMU → Over 7.5 (floor 8 wins). 31:07 – 38:35 Playoff/Long-shot Discussion No strong playoff contenders from teams covered; JMU strong but blocked by JMU matchup for Georgia Southern. Boise State (2–1 to make playoffs) downgraded without RB Ashton Jeanty. Long-shot pick: South Florida (33–1) if QB Byron Brown stays healthy; avoid betting until after tough Miami/Florida stretch. 38:36 – End Best Bet: Army Under 7.5 wins. Rationale: Loss of QB, RB, two elite tackles, new OL coach, tough schedule, regression from 12–2 2023 season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFL fantasy AFC South position battles. [Munaf Manji | 0:06–0:40] Introduces focus on AFC South, calling it a tough fantasy division but one he knows well as a Texans fan. [Rod Villagomez | 0:40–1:40] Sees the division as building for the future; C.J. Stroud is the main fantasy draw. Mentions hidden Jacksonville talent and early Colts injury concerns. [Munaf Manji | 1:41–2:28] Podcast aims to find deep fantasy values. Notes Anthony Richardson's alarming finger injury. [Rod Villagomez | 2:29–4:06] Injury is dislocated pinky; day-to-day. Reviews limited playing history—4 games rookie year, 11 last year—warning about development setbacks. [Munaf Manji | 4:07–5:41] Colts hoped to compete; Daniel Jones played vs. Ravens (10/21, 144 yds, 0 TDs) in 24–16 preseason loss. [Rod Villagomez | 5:42–7:47] Texans RB depth impacted by Joe Mixon foot injury; Nick Chubb signed. Competition: Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale. [Munaf Manji | 7:48–9:09] Chubb was preseason sleeper; Pierce's workload uncertain. [Rod Villagomez | 9:23–11:16] Pierce's 2023: 40 carries, 293 yds (7.39 YPC); career mostly ~3–4 YPC. Preseason will decide RB2. [Munaf Manji | 11:17–12:23] ADP: Chubb RB47 (~146 overall); Pierce undrafted. Texans open vs. Vikings. [Rod Villagomez | 12:24–15:22] WR2 battle with Tank Dell likely out all season (knee). Christian Kirk, rookies Jaden Higgins & Jalen Noel in mix. Dalton Schultz could finish top-4 TE. [Munaf Manji | 15:23–16:31] WR2 winner offers late-round fantasy value. [Rod Villagomez | 16:32–18:41] Colts QB battle: Richardson vs. Jones. Says it's “now or never” for Jones; Richardson's 2023 was 8 TDs, 12 INTs. [Munaf Manji | 18:42–19:59] Richardson likely starts but Jones worth monitoring on waivers. [Rod Villagomez | 20:00–22:28] Colts WR stats: Pittman (111 targets, 808 yds, 3 TDs), Downs (107 targets, 803 yds, 5 TDs), Pierce (69 targets, 824 yds, 7 TDs, 22.3 YPC). [Munaf Manji | 23:59–25:27] Preseason injuries: Pittman (groin), Pierce (foot blister). Pittman ADP ~116; Downs similar; Pierce mostly undrafted. [Rod Villagomez | 25:28–25:46] Pierce and Downs both viable late picks. [Munaf Manji | 25:47–26:23] Jaguars segment opens with Travis Hunter's two-way potential. [Rod Villagomez | 26:24–28:14] Hunter could be more impactful on offense with Brian Thomas Jr., Deami Brown, Parker Washington. [Munaf Manji | 28:15–29:33] Jaguars lack true WR1; Hunter could fill that role. [Rod Villagomez | 29:34–31:13] RB stats: Etienne (558 yds, 3.7 YPC, 2 TDs) vs. Bixby (766 yds, 4.6 YPC, 7 TDs). [Munaf Manji | 31:13–32:08] Bixby's low ADP makes him strong value. [Rod Villagomez | 32:09–32:46] Bixby could overtake Etienne. [Munaf Manji | 32:47–33:54] TE battle: 7 contenders; Brenton Strange (411 yds, 2 TDs) is TE1. [Rod Villagomez | 35:20–37:52] 153 vacated targets could elevate Strange. Cohen's offense favors TE usage. [Munaf Manji | 37:53–40:00] Strange could finish TE9–TE12; late-round flex candidate. [Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji | 40:01–45:54] Titans have no major battles. QB Cam Ward locked in; Pollard RB1 (1,000 yds, 4.2 YPC, 57 targets, 238 rec yds). WRs Ridley, Lockett, Jefferson set; TE Chig Okonkwo has upside. [Rod Villagomez | 45:55–end] Closes with preseason game list and fantasy prep reminder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
