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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Week 9 Survivor Contests NFL Week 9 Survivor Contest Strategy — Mackenzie Rivers & Dan Rivera | RJ Bell's Dream Preview (0:13) Host Mackenzie Rivers opens celebrating another week survived and welcomes Dan Rivera as they hit the halfway point of the Dan and Mack Can Survive series, discussing remaining teams, equity, and the narrowing path ahead. (1:00) Dan lists viable survivor options—Cowboys, Seahawks, Broncos, Chargers, Rams, Commanders, and Eagles—and explains why Thanksgiving scheduling complicates planning. (2:49) Mack recaps Week 8 carnage with Bengals and Falcons upsets before pivoting to Week 9 double-digit favorites like Packers (-13 vs Panthers) and Rams (-14 vs Saints). (3:58) Dan details his mapping process: identifying “must-use” teams such as the Bears and keeping injured squads like the Chargers on ice until healthy. (6:37) They clarify contest structure—19 weeks, 19 picks with a special Thanksgiving slot. (8:00) Mack highlights Rams as top option vs Saints with rookie QB Tyler Shough replacing Spencer Rattler; cites PFF-EPA QBR composite ranking Dak Prescott #1 and Sam Darnold #2 to underscore metrics in QB evaluation. (12:23) Dan checks the Rams' remaining schedule—Panthers (11/30) and Cardinals (12/7)—noting why this may be their optimal week to use them, while Mack calls the Saints “perfect tankers.” (17:10) They confirm Rams as official Week 9 pick and review Green Bay vs Carolina, agreeing the Packers are safe if available. (19:37) Dan dives deep on Josh Jacobs' injury, Green Bay's kicker issues, and Carolina's O-line woes before Mack ranks Bryce Young around the 20th best QB. (24:57) Chargers (-9.5 at Titans) analysis: Dan argues L.A. “bullies bad teams,” Mack notes road risk and prefers home favorites. (29:07) They dissect Vikings-Lions: J.J.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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