Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for CFB Week 5 Lonte Smith and Uncle Dave Essler return for the Week 5 edition of RJ Bell's Dream Preview, College Football Edition, determined to bounce back from the first 0 and 2 week of the season while keeping the overall best bet record in the black, with Lonte at 2 and 2 and Dave at 3 and 1. At 1:58 the show opens with number 7 Alabama visiting Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium, where the Tide opened 6.5 point favorites before the line dipped to 5.5 or 6 and the total climbed to 60.5. Dave warns against recency bias after Alabama scored 50 on Florida State, pointing out that the Seminoles also scored 36 and piled up nearly 500 yards on that defense, and with Georgia coming to Tuscaloosa next week he takes the Mississippi State team total over. Lonte backs the Bulldogs in the first half, citing their first 4 and 0 start since 2014, a defense allowing 3.2 yards per carry, three straight 100 yard games from Fluff Bothwell and the blitz chess match between Kane Wommack and Kamario Taylor. At 6:53 the hosts turn to Virginia at Florida State, and both like the home underdog, with Lonte projecting a 23 to 20 grinder fueled by Ashton Daniels running the football and Dave calling it a potential career defining game for Mike Norvell ahead of trips to Louisville and Miami. At 10:14 Alex Golesh returns to Neyland Stadium as the Auburn head coach to face Josh Heupel, and Dave takes the Tennessee team total over after the Vols managed only 2.9 yards per play against Texas, while Lonte breaks down the North Carolina quarterback duel between Byrum Brown and Faizon Brandon and notes Auburn ranks among the worst coverage teams in the Power 4. At 15:06 Baylor at Arizona State gets labeled a volatile game, sharp money has pushed the line toward the Bears and the total down from 51 to 49.5, and both hosts land on the under while Dave admits he cannot get behind DJ Lagway. At 19:59 number 8 Florida visits Missouri laying 4.5, Dave calls the Tigers a paper tiger after they allowed almost 500 yards to Mississippi State and goes back to the Florida team total over after cashing it last week, and Lonte highlights Jadan Baugh and more than 600 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns before leaning to the over. At 25:20 Dave delivers his best bet, Wake Forest minus 12.5 over a Stanford team traveling east for the second time in three weeks, and at 27:34 Lonte answers with UConn plus 6.5 against Syracuse, pointing to the strong underdog record of Jason Candle, a power rating closer to 4 and deep familiarity between the two coaching staffs. The episode closes with a rapid fire round at 29:52 covering Notre Dame at North Carolina, Minnesota and Michigan, Ohio State at Iowa, Pitt and Virginia Tech, Louisville at NC State and Miami against Clemson, with team total unders, a Louisville and NC State over and a blunt verdict on whether Clemson can keep it close.

SleepyJ and Dave Essler talk NFL Week 3 recap. Sleepy J and Dave Essler of Pregame.com break down every Week 3 Sunday game in the NFL, separating the real results from the misleading ones and flagging the Week 4 numbers worth attacking, with Munaf Manji away tending to family. At 1:00 the show opens with Jacksonville routing New England 35 to 6, a game Uncle Dave had as his best bet, and at 1:33 he declares that Drake Maye 3.0 is not Drake Maye 2.0, pointing to failures on special teams, in tackling, and with penalties. At 2:35 Sleepy asks whether injuries to A.J. Brown, TreVeyon Henderson, and the offensive line explain the slide, and Dave says it is all of the above, adding cluster injuries in the secondary. At 4:20 the box score shows New England actually outgained Jacksonville 317 to 315, but the Jaguars went 8 for 12 on third down and won the turnover battle, and by 6:49 the sold sign is officially up on the Patriots ahead of their trip to Buffalo. At 7:31 Sleepy explains why the Bills 24 to 16 win over the Chargers was not as close as it looked, since Buffalo committed five turnovers and still won, and Dave calls it a C game victory that shows the gap between a good team and a mediocre one while floating the 0 and 3 Chargers as a live dog at Seattle. At 14:13 the hosts dissect Washington stunning Seattle 33 to 31, with Sleepy arguing Marcus Mariota is worth less than three points below Jayden Daniels and questioning the Seahawks for benching rookie running back Jadarian Price after an early fumble, while Dave at 18:29 counters with adjusted score and EPA data that favored Seattle 28 to 17. At 23:14 Deshaun Watson rallies Cleveland past Carolina 21 to 18, but Dave sees a Panthers downgrade more than a Browns upgrade after Bryce Young threw 48 times and Tetairoa McMillan managed just 17 yards. At 30:09 Pittsburgh tops Cincinnati behind 400 yards of offense, Sleepy says the Bengals beat themselves, and both hosts believe Cleveland could be live on Thursday night. At 35:59 Dave eyes Jacksonville and the over against Cincinnati, and at 37:18 the crew covers Kansas City beating Miami 24 to 10, with Sleepy crediting a feisty Dolphins effort and Dave labeling Minnesota the most paper 3 and 0 team in the NFL, making Miami a sharp look at plus 10. At 48:21 Baltimore walks off against Dallas, at 51:14 Indianapolis edges Houston 19 to 17 behind a comfortable Daniel Jones while C.J. Stroud struggles without Nico Collins, and both hosts lean Dallas at Houston. At 57:23 the Giants grind past Tennessee 12 to 7 with Jameis Winston replacing an injured Jaxson Dart, and at 1:01:28 Sleepy cashes the over as San Francisco outlasts Arizona 36 to 30, with both hosts backing Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals against the Giants. At 1:06:21 the Raiders top a turnover prone Saints team, at 1:09:58 Denver beats the Rams with what Dave calls smoke and mirrors, and at 1:12:41 Detroit holds off Geno Smith and the Jets 31 to 24 as the market downgrades the Lions. The recurring lesson all episode is simple, the team that makes the fewest mistakes keeps winning, and at 1:15:00 the hosts tease their Monday Night Football plays on Eagles at Bears with Case Keenum expected to start for Chicago, available now at Pregame.com.

Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk college football betting for Week 4. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return with the College Football Edition of the Dream Preview from RJ Bell, riding a perfect 2 and 0 Best Bet week into a loaded Week 4 card. At 0:31 Lonte recaps the run, with Dave still unbeaten on Best Bets and Lonte cashing an outright winner on West Virginia. At 1:51 the show heads to SECU Stadium, where UCLA opened as a 2.5 point favorite at Maryland before the market moved toward the Terrapins and the total dropped from 59.5 to 56.5. At 3:06 Dave weighs the sharp money against the eye test, citing the cross country trip, an Oregon look ahead and the points UCLA allowed to Purdue, and he leans Maryland and the over. At 4:26 Lonte backs Malik Washington, a Maryland pass rush that ranks top 10 nationally in sacks and receiver Chris Durr Jr., while noting the record pace of UCLA running back Wayne Knight. At 5:27 the spotlight turns to Neyland Stadium, where Texas lays 4.5 at Tennessee in a noon kickoff. At 6:54 Dave explains why he refuses to follow the herd onto the Longhorns and why he has never trusted Steve Sarkisian in big spots. At 8:46 Lonte breaks down freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon, a Tennessee ground game averaging 7 yards per carry with 11 rushing touchdowns, and the blitz packages Jim Knowles could throw at Arch Manning, then takes Tennessee plus 5.5 and the under. At 10:49 the crew moves to Athens, where Georgia is laying roughly two touchdowns to Oklahoma. At 12:18 Dave calls the Georgia defense the best in the nation and takes the under, and at 13:16 Lonte explains how the injury to David Stone, a struggling John Mateer and a Sooner run game averaging 3.6 yards per carry point toward a 17 to 13 type of final. At 15:52 the hosts preview Texas A and M at LSU in Tiger Stadium, with Marcel Reed and the Aggies missing key weapons. At 17:47 Dave points to the Aggies allowing Kentucky 7.6 yards per play at home and grabs the LSU team total over, and at 19:37 Lonte sees blowout potential under the lights. At 20:59 the old Pac 12 rivalry arrives at the Coliseum as Oregon lays 3 at USC with a total of 62.5. At 21:44 Dave notes that USC allowed Rutgers 460 yards and Oregon lost at Oklahoma State, and both hosts land on the over, with Lonte planning a live bet on the Trojans. At 26:22 the pair debates whether Oregon can climb back into the playoff race, and Dave admits he would rip up an Oregon national title ticket. At 27:39 Lonte shares the Weekend All Access offer at Pregame.com with promo code PASS20. At 28:31 Dave delivers his Best Bet on Iowa State plus 8.5 at home against an undefeated Utah team that has yet to face a real defense. At 29:33 Lonte fires his Best Bet on Indiana minus 21 against Northwestern, citing Josh Hoover and a defense with back to back shutouts. At 31:19 the show closes with quick hits on Florida against Ole Miss, Boise State at Western Michigan, Wisconsin against Penn State and Minnesota against Washington. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player prop betting for week 2. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J bring their NFL Week 2 Props episode from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, opening the show 15 and 10 combined through their first two pods of the season, up 8.85 units, with their agreed upon best bets a perfect 2 and 0 for plus 4 units, and they waste no time building a full player props card ahead of Thursday night's opener between the Bills and the Lions. The quarterback discussion opens with Patrick Mahomes over 217 and a half passing yards against Indianapolis, with Sleepy pointing to Kansas City's 39 team rushing attempts in Week 1 and a workload for Kenneth Walker III he does not expect to repeat, while Munaf backs the play by noting Mahomes has topped 262 passing yards in all three career starts against the Colts and threw for 352 yards in their most recent meeting, adding that Lamar Jackson's 324 yard passing day in Week 1 was his first 300 yard game since 2024. From there Munaf brings Jacoby Brissett over 35 and a half pass attempts against Seattle, citing a sharp Week 1 outing of 27 completions on 37 attempts for 277 yards and a touchdown, with Seattle turning to Drew Lock at quarterback after Sam Darnold went down, and Sleepy calls Brissett's opening week performance one of the best at the position across the league. Running back props bring Breece Hall over 66 and a half rushing yards against Green Bay, with Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich confirming Hall's workload will not be capped despite Braelon Allen's 10 carries in relief, and Bijan Robinson over 82 and a half rushing yards against Carolina, a number Munaf backs with a 21 carry, 83 yard, 10 target showing in Week 1 and a strong recent history against the Panthers, with Sleepy calling it too risky to fade Robinson after that kind of workload. Wide receiver props bring Courtland Sutton over 3 and a half receptions against Jacksonville for a Denver offense trying to bounce back after a rough opener, and Mack Hollins over 35 and a half receiving yards against Pittsburgh, with A.J. Brown expected to miss four to six weeks after an ankle injury and Hollins stepping into a larger role after a five target, 51 yard showing in relief. Tight end props round out the card with Harold Fannin Jr. over 35 and a half receiving yards against Tampa Bay, a matchup both hosts like after Cincinnati's tight ends combined for over 100 yards against the same defense in Week 1, and a chalky lean on Trey McBride over 59 and a half receiving yards against Seattle, a matchup McBride has dominated throughout his career. Touchdown scorer picks include Deebo Samuel at plus 220 odds after a big Week 1 role in San Francisco's upset win, Mike Evans at plus 135, and Mack Hollins at plus 215. The episode closes with the marquee best bet of the week, Derrick Henry over 88 and a half rushing yards against New Orleans, a consensus number across DraftKings, Caesars and FanDuel built around Baltimore's banged up receiver room and a Saints defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to rush for 156 yards and two touchdowns, with both hosts suggesting Henry has the juice to double this number outright. The show wraps with details on a limited time Pregame.com offer where ten dollars in bulk dollars purchases fifty, a 400 percent bonus that never expires and runs through September 21st, as Munaf and Sleepy look to push their best bet record to a perfect 3 and 0 on the season.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL recap from week 1. Plus the guys preview Monday night football for the broncos and chiefs. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the week with a full recap of everything that shaped NFL Week 1, joined by Sleepy J for an extended breakdown of injuries, line movement and a marquee Monday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. The show starts with New England's A.J. Brown suffering a high ankle sprain, prompting a discussion of Mack Hollins stepping into a bigger role over Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas as the Patriots prepare to host Pittsburgh in Week 2. From there the crew covers Myles Garrett's knee surgery and stint on injured reserve, and what that means for a Los Angeles Rams defense already without Aaron Donald in its season opener against San Francisco. Baltimore's receiving corps also took a hit, with Zay Flowers battling a hamstring issue and rookie Ja'Kobi Lane sidelined several weeks with a fractured wrist ahead of a home date with New Orleans. The hosts also unpack Kyler Murray's concussion in Minnesota's opener against Green Bay and what Carson Wentz taking over means for the Vikings heading into Chicago. Sleepy J runs through a broader injury ledger covering the Steelers, Jets and Lions before the conversation shifts to the weekend's biggest upset, Arizona's outright win over the Los Angeles Chargers, a result that gutted survivor pools nationwide and left Essler questioning the Chargers' identity heading into Week 2. The back half of the show is dedicated entirely to Monday Night Football, with Manji and Essler both leaning toward Denver getting points at home against Kansas City, citing Sean Payton's track record as a play caller and a Broncos defense they view as the stronger unit. Sleepy J takes a more cautious approach, wary of an unusually short line and preferring to attack the total instead of picking a side. The group dives deep into player props, breaking down Patrick Mahomes' pass attempt total against a retooled Chiefs secondary featuring Alohi Gilman, rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane and a returning L'Jarius Sneed, along with Denver's receiver options now that Jaylen Waddle lines up next to Courtland Sutton. Before wrapping, the hosts flag a handful of early Week 2 numbers they like, including New England laying points against Pittsburgh and Cleveland getting a full touchdown against Tampa Bay. A long stretch of the show is reserved for Chicago's historic offensive explosion, a fifty nine point outburst against Carolina that has Manji and Sleepy J debating whether sportsbooks can even price the Bears' totals correctly given head coach Ben Johnson's stated goal of building the highest scoring offense in league history. The conversation touches on quarterback Caleb Williams, running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, and a deep receiver room led by Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Kalif Raymond, along with a look ahead to Chicago's Week 2 total against Minnesota that the crew believes is priced too low. Sleepy J closes the discussion with a historical look at how rarely the league has seen pregame totals in the mid fifties and what that trend suggests about where Chicago's number could eventually land. The show wraps with the crew's official best bets for the week, a reminder to use promo code SACK60 for savings on a full NFL season access package, and a preview of an upcoming player props show. It is a wire to wire breakdown built for anyone looking to sharpen their approach to Week 2 of the NFL season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL betting for Week 1. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler open the NFL season with a brand new weekly format, breaking down a full Week 1 slate, handing out best bets, and setting the stage for a Monday recap show that will carry the crew through the season. The headline story sits in Pittsburgh, where the Atlanta Falcons arrive with real quarterback uncertainty. Tua Tagovailoa was named the Week 1 starter before an oblique injury popped up in Thursday practice, opening the door for Cooper Rush to potentially take the reins against a Steelers team now led by new head coach Mike McCarthy following the long Mike Tomlin era. Munaf lays out the timeline at 2:32 while Dave, at 3:56, leans hard into the under, arguing Pittsburgh's defense remains legitimate regardless of who plays quarterback and that a young Steelers offensive line will limit what Aaron Rodgers can do on the move. Both land on the under 41.5. From there the two move to Baltimore visiting Indianapolis, where the Ravens are three and a half point road favorites with Daniel Jones back from injury for the Colts and new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter making his debut after serving as the Chargers defensive coordinator a season ago. Dave, at 9:22, calls it a wrong team favored spot and backs Indianapolis at plus three and a half, trusting Colts head coach Shane Steichen over an unproven new staff in Baltimore, and Munaf agrees at 12:54, pointing to efficiency numbers that favor the Colts. The conversation then shifts to Cincinnati, where the Bengals are laying three and a half at home against Tampa Bay with a rebuilt defense that added Dexter Lawrence, Bryan Cook, and Jonathan Allen this offseason. Dave backs the Buccaneers team total under at 15:27, and Munaf goes a step further, taking Tampa Bay outright at plus three and a half and citing a history of slow Cincinnati starts under head coach Zach Taylor. The Packers and Vikings clash gets its own segment at 21:13, with Kyler Murray making his first start at quarterback for Minnesota and Micah Parsons sidelined for Green Bay. Dave breaks from a colleague's earlier take to back the Vikings, and Munaf projects a 23 to 20 final while liking the under 46.5. Sunday Night Football between the Cowboys and Giants closes out the main card at 28:17, with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh looking to flip a franchise that has dropped a striking number of one score games, and both hosts land on the Giants team total over 22.5. Munaf wraps the card with a look at Buffalo visiting Houston, detailing a strong recent history for the Texans defense against Josh Allen specifically and settling on the Texans plus one and a half alongside the under 44.5 as his top best bet of the week, while Dave's top play is the Bengals team total under bought up to 24.5. Along the way the two touch on shorter looks at the Lions, Saints, Dolphins, Eagles, Commanders, Bears, and Panthers, and remind listeners about a discounted All Access subscription at Pregame.com. The episode closes with a preview of what is ahead, a full Monday recap show breaking down the weekend's line moves and a Monday Night Football preview between the Broncos and Chiefs, kicking off a schedule that will run twice a week for the entire season.

RJ Bell and Munaf Manji talk betting for NFL Week 1. RJ Bell and Munaf Manji open the NFL season with a deep Week 1 betting breakdown that leans on historical trends more than gut feelings, and guest analyst Dave Essler adds a live best bet of his own on the marquee Sunday night matchup. The headline play is Houston getting points at home against Buffalo, built on the idea that Buffalo's shift to a new defensive scheme, paired with a short week after a Thursday night game in Detroit, creates real uncertainty against a Texans team that has beaten Josh Allen in all five of their career meetings, including a playoff game. A companion total under 44 and a half in that same game leans on Houston fielding one of the best defenses in football under its current coaching staff. The pair also back the under in Baltimore's home game against Indianapolis, questioning how much trust to extend to a Colts quarterback returning from a torn Achilles in barely nine months, while noting a Baltimore coaching staff unlikely to push the pace once it has a lead. Cross sport comparisons to NBA Achilles recoveries help frame just how early that Colts timeline really is. Tampa Bay getting points against Cincinnati stands out as the show's top prop driven pick, anchored in Cincinnati's rough recent Week 1 history and limited preseason snaps for its top two receivers, while a running back prop on a marquee Eagles ball carrier against a defense he has dominated for three straight meetings offers one of the cleanest matchup angles of the week. A Cowboys and Giants total under carries extra texture thanks to a pointed public comment from a Giants receiver about controlling his own workload after a serious injury, and a spirited debate breaks out over whether Dallas carries a built in betting premium that outpaces what the roster actually supports on defense. The guest analyst makes his own case for the Giants covering, framed around a new head coach's strong debut season track record and a defense he does not believe has been fixed by roster turnover alone. Additional angles cover a Cincinnati quarterback passing yards under tied to years of slow starts, a lean on Cleveland getting a big number against Jacksonville built around a coaching decision at quarterback, and value plays on both a Denver Kansas City tilt shaped by a head coach's history of slow starts and an AFC East showdown where public perception may be lagging behind actual talent. Throughout the show, the hosts explain not just what they like but why, walking through bankroll philosophy, how markets price star names differently than lesser known players, and why narrowing a pick's scope can cut into its edge even when the underlying read is correct. It is a full, opinionated, numbers driven start to the season for anyone looking to sharpen their approach before kickoff, with five official plays, several leans, and a handful of player props all explained in detail rather than simply handed down as picks to trust blindly.

Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk college football betting for Week 2. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return for Week 2 of RJ Bill's Dream Preview carrying momentum from a two and oh best bets start, and they open the show reflecting on a profitable opening weekend before diving straight into a loaded Saturday card. The hosts caution against overreacting to a chaotic Week 1, a philosophy that shapes every pick on the show, starting with Oklahoma traveling to Michigan at 2:13. Smith and Essler dig into last year's meeting, a 24 to 13 Sooners win that marked Bryce Underwood's first career road start, before Essler tracks the line move from seven points down to five and a half and lands on the Michigan team total under, pointing to Oklahoma defensive architect Brent Venables and his steadily improving unit. Smith agrees, adding a first half under as a companion angle while expecting Underwood to lean on his legs against Oklahoma's pressure. At 7:12 the show shifts to Alabama laying ten and a half points on the road at Kentucky, where both hosts push back on the number, citing Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell's first true road start and Kentucky's physical defensive front under new head coach Will Stein, an Oregon transplant Essler calls one of the best coaching hires in the sport. Smith leans toward Kentucky covering, with a specific first half angle behind an energized home crowd in Lexington. UCLA hosting San Diego State comes up at 12:14, and both analysts converge on the UCLA team total over, citing the Bruins' explosive opener against Cal and pointing to San Diego State coach Sean Lewis facing a tough test trying to slow UCLA's ground game. At 17:22 the conversation turns to one of the week's biggest Group of Six matchups, Boise State hosting Memphis, where Essler flags Memphis' grueling travel schedule and leans toward the Boise team total over, while Smith highlights Memphis running back Jaylin Carter's breakout performance and takes a lighter lean toward the Tigers covering the number. The week's marquee matchup, Texas hosting Ohio State, gets broken down at 22:53, with Essler siding with the Buckeyes behind coach Ryan Day and quarterback Julian Sayin, while Smith elects to sit out the side entirely and instead targets the under, citing Texas coach Steve Sarkisian's red zone efficiency concerns and Ohio State's new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. Mississippi State traveling to Minnesota closes out the matchup breakdowns at 28:45, with both hosts liking the Gophers behind quarterback Drake Lindsey's decision making and leaning the total under given two programs that have historically struggled to sustain explosive offense. The show wraps with fresh best bets from both hosts, Essler backing App State getting points on the road at East Carolina after the Pirates managed almost nothing offensively against Alabama in their opener, and Smith closing with the Cal and Syracuse total going over, pointing to two up tempo offenses and shaky defenses on both sidelines. Throughout the episode, Smith and Essler keep returning to the same disciplined framework, weighing line movement, situational spots, coaching changes, and advanced efficiency numbers rather than chasing whatever storyline dominated the previous weekend. It is a full slate breakdown built for bettors who want context behind every number, not just a list of picks, closing out another confident week for the RJ Bill's Dream Preview crew as they look to keep their best bets streak alive heading into the heart of the college football season.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk nfl props for this week first two games. SleepyJ and Munaf Manji close out their Week One props coverage with two tight end plays built on very different foundations. Starting at 0:04, SleepyJ backs Hunter Henry over three or more receptions at minus 188, acknowledging the price is heavily juiced but explaining that New England is breaking in two new wide receivers, AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs, and does not expect instant chemistry, which should push the coaching staff and Drake Maye back toward proven concepts built around Hunter Henry. SleepyJ projects Henry could reach four or more catches but views three as an easy floor, calling him a big target with a ton of plays already in the playbook and arguing the new additions will not push him off the field, if anything helping open things up for AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs as defenses have to respect more options. He points to a Seattle pass rush he calls elite that should force plenty of third and medium situations Henry is well suited to convert, along with a Seattle defense that ranked twenty second last season against tight ends and has since lost multiple contributors from that group. Munaf Manji responds at 2:20 with the specific numbers, noting Henry drew five targets and finished with three receptions for 31 yards in last season's Super Bowl against Seattle, then adding his full regular season line of 87 targets, 60 receptions, 768 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, framing him as the reliable option Drake Maye can lean on for third down conversions and second and long situations as the receiver room adjusts to new additions, especially if the Patriots find themselves trailing. At 3:28, Munaf shifts to his own tight end prop, backing George Kittle under thirty eight and a half receiving yards for San Francisco, built entirely around workload management as Kittle returns from an Achilles injury and limited preseason snaps. Munaf expects Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey to serve as the early offensive focal points while the 49ers ease Kittle back into a full role, projecting something like three catches for 30 yards in the opener despite Kittle's history as Brock Purdy's favorite target. He plans to check the actual snap count after the game to see how the workload played out, and suggests real value could open up on the over a few weeks into the season once Kittle is trusted with a bigger role. Together the two picks close the Cash That Ticket crew's full Week One props slate, leaning on Patriots continuity while new receivers get integrated and on 49ers caution around a star tight end still working back to full strength.

Munaf Manji talks weekend action in the sports betting world. Munaf Manji opens a new season of the weekend rewind show solo on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, laying out the plan for a full week of football content, this rewind episode on Mondays once Uncle Dave joins him, a college football pod, a Wednesday preview show, a Thursday prop show with Sleepy, and a Friday picks show built on the injury report. At 2:47 he closes the book on preseason betting trends, underdogs went 23 and 9 and 1 against the spread through the first two weeks, a 72 percent clip, with road dogs posting a 42 and 1 mark, numbers worth watching into Week One. The headline news arrives at 5:04, Aaron Donald is officially coming out of retirement to rejoin the Los Angeles Rams on a one year deal worth twenty million dollars, with playoff incentives pushing the total as high as thirty million. Donald joins a front that already added Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland, and Munaf breaks down how dominant that pairing could become, while expecting Donald's snap count to build gradually as he shakes off the rust. At 7:51 the Rams sit at five to one to win the Super Bowl on DraftKings with no other team shorter than ten to one, and Munaf cites a Yahoo Sports stat that teams which opened as favorites at plus 500 or better have gone zero for 20 all time, asking whether this roster could break that trend. At 9:08 he adds the Trent McDuffie trade from Kansas City and a look at how a stronger defense could shift Los Angeles toward lower scoring games built around Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams. At 11:41 the show turns to a more serious story, Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List ahead of a court appearance on November 17, with Munaf estimating a possible suspension in the four to six game range. At 12:48 he connects that news to the Packers trading for running back Kaleb Johnson from the Steelers, a move he reads as Green Bay preparing for time without Jacobs and potentially leaning more on Jordan Love. From 14:20 onward, the show becomes a rapid tour of final roster cuts, Trevon Diggs released by Seattle but likely practice squad bound, Anthony Richardson and J.J. McCarthy surviving their initial rosters, and Titans wide receiver Xavier Restrepo earning a fantasy shoutout behind Calvin Ridley and rookie Carnell Tate. At 16:07 the Giants keep Darius Slayton and Odell Beckham Jr. while moving on from Jalin Hyatt, with Beckham's comments about bringing a championship back to New York getting a mention. At 16:53 Cleveland's quarterback carousel takes center stage, Dillon Gabriel making the roster, Deshaun Watson holding the starting job, Shedeur Sanders waiting in the wings, and Taylen Green turning heads late. At 17:53 he runs through players opening the year on injured reserve or the PUP list, Micah Parsons, James Conner, Isaac Guerendo, and Kerby Joseph among them, along with the release of Titans quarterback Will Levis. At 19:59, Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III has been cleared by head coach Ben Johnson and is expected ready for Week One despite a groin injury. After a mention of his appearance on RJ Bell's Dream Preview podcast at 21:31, Munaf lands on his best bet of the show. At 23:02 he builds the pick around a quote from Ben Johnson, who said this offseason he wants Chicago to be the highest scoring offense in NFL history, a comment Munaf says grabbed his attention given what Johnson built previously with Jared Goff in Detroit. At 24:20 he lands on Caleb Williams' season long passing yards prop, the number sitting at 3,649.5 on DraftKings but a better line at 3,600.5 on BetMGM. Williams threw for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in year one under Johnson while playing all 17 games in each of his first two seasons, and Munaf likes him to clear the number in a more explosive year two offense.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL betting. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J opened the 2026 NFL season with their annual season long player props special on The Props Podcast, working through ten different plays across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end and touchdown markets before locking in their picks to win the Super Bowl. Sleepy J, at 2:38, led off the quarterback discussion backing Jayden Daniels to clear four and a half rushing touchdowns, pointing to his rookie season usage, the season ending triceps injury to left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and one of the most grueling opening schedules in the league for the Washington Commanders. Munaf, at 8:12, answered with a passing yards play on Kyler Murray, betting that a fresh start with the Minnesota Vikings under head coach Kevin O'Connell and alongside Justin Jefferson unlocks the kind of production Murray has shown whenever he has stayed healthy. The running back props brought a pair of contrarian unders, with Sleepy J fading Derrick Henry's rushing touchdown total in Baltimore given his age, a rebuilt offensive line and a new coaching staff, and Munaf fading rookie Jeremiyah Love's rushing yardage in Arizona given a crowded backfield and a team likely to trail often. Wide receiver props sparked the liveliest debate of the show, with Sleepy J backing an under on A.J. Brown's yardage after his move from a concentrated Philadelphia passing attack to a crowded New England receiver room, while Munaf took the other side on Brown's touchdown total, expecting a heavy dose of red zone work in his new offense. Munaf also liked DJ Moore to clear his receiving yardage number after landing with Josh Allen in Buffalo. On tight ends and touchdowns, Sleepy J backed Kyle Pitts to clear his reception total in Atlanta and projected a touchdown breakout for Tetairoa McMillan in Carolina, while Munaf backed a big season for Colston Loveland in Chicago behind an offense chasing record scoring numbers. To close the show, starting at 46:53, both hosts revealed their picks to win the Super Bowl, with Sleepy J going against the grain on the Cincinnati Bengals at long odds, citing a healthy Joe Burrow and a much improved defense, while Munaf landed on the Detroit Lions, calling them a team flying under the radar behind Jared Goff and a talented roster on both sides of the football. The two hosts also touched on the current landscape heading into the season, noting the AFC feels more wide open than it has in recent years and that the NFC is shaping up to be a gauntlet from top to bottom. Throughout the episode, both hosts leaned on usage trends, coaching changes, roster turnover and scheme fit rather than surface level box scores, walking through why certain numbers on the board looked mispriced heading into the year. The show closed with a preview of the busy football schedule ahead, including week zero college football coverage already underway and NFL Week 1 preparation on the horizon, with weekly props coverage set to continue for the entire season on The Props Podcast.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out the daily run of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Friday MLB card and a look ahead to football season. At 0:10 Manji frames the show as the final daily episode for the year, and at 1:18 Essler reflects on a season that swung from hot to cold before settling in the positive, adding that he cashed a client winner the night before. At 1:56 Manji thanks the audience for riding out a near daily schedule and confirms he and Essler will still team up at least twice a week once football season begins. The card opens at 3:27 with the headline matchup of the day, Chris Sale against Jacob Misiorowski as the Braves visit the Brewers with a rare six run total on the board. At 4:10 Essler leans toward Milwaukee for the full game on bullpen strength while still praising Sale, and at 5:13 Manji prefers an under look through five innings paired with the Brewers on the money line. At 7:00 the pair turns to Boston hosting San Francisco, where Sonny Gray opposes Logan Webb. Essler at 7:15 likes the under and the Giants on the run line off Webb's consistency, and Manji at 8:30 backs the under with Gray's strong home and night splits. At 9:31 Freddy Peralta faces Trevor Rogers as the Rays visit Baltimore, with Essler at 9:56 siding with the Orioles given Peralta's recent familiarity with this lineup, and Manji at 11:11 adding Peralta's rough road and night splits. At 12:17 Troy Melton takes on Noah Cameron as the Tigers visit Kansas City, with Essler at 12:41 backing Detroit after Cameron's grueling prior start, and Manji at 13:29 reinforcing the pick with Melton's dominant road numbers. At 15:07 Nick Lodolo opposes Eduardo Rodriguez in Cincinnati and Arizona, a matchup both hosts admit they rarely get right, with Essler at 15:10 wary of laying a heavy price on Rodriguez and Manji at 17:12 flagging fatigue after a heavy recent workload. At 18:49 Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visit Emerson Hancock and the Mariners, with Essler at 19:16 siding with Seattle's bullpen and Manji at 20:58 eyeing a Cubs team total angle instead. Essler at 22:49 races through the rest of the slate, touching on Washington, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Bubba Chandler and the Pirates, Reid Detmers and MacKenzie Gore in the Angels and Rangers game, a wary look at Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and a Twins and Padres line that has moved firmly toward Minnesota's Connor Prielipp despite public tickets piling onto San Diego's Randy Vasquez. With the baseball card finished, Essler at 26:58 names the Rams over eleven and a half wins as his favorite NFL win total, pointing to a loaded roster and head coach Sean McVay, while Manji at 28:24 counters with the Vikings over eight and a half, betting on a bounce back year from Kyler Murray under Kevin O'Connell and a friendly home schedule. On the under side, Essler at 30:23 fades the Packers over a suspect secondary and a difficult slate, and Manji at 33:07 takes the Eagles under ten and a half, citing another new offensive coordinator working with Jalen Hurts. The season's final best bets arrive late, with Essler at 37:14 backing the Blue Jays to score over two and a half runs against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, and Manji at 38:30 closing the year with the Tigers on the money line behind Melton against Cameron and the Royals. Before signing off at 43:07, the hosts preview a busy football stretch ahead, including a new Dream Pod with RJ and a season long props pod with Sleepy, and Manji thanks the show's record keeper, Kelvin, for another season of tracking results.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the Thursday, August 20, 2026 edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed by looking back at a one and one showing from the previous best bets episode, then work through a full night of MLB action before closing out their season long NFL win total series with the Los Angeles Rams. The headline matchup is Yankees at Orioles in Baltimore, where Gerrit Cole opposes Kyle Bradish with Baltimore sitting as a home underdog near plus 111 and the total at seven and a half. Dave, at 2:36, explains why he nearly stuck with the Orioles again after their bullpen coughed up a competitive game the night before, praising Bradish for three straight starts with two or fewer earned runs allowed. Munaf, at 4:39, backs the pitching duel theory with hard numbers, noting Cole has gone to the under in all eight of his road starts this season and that the Yankees are 5-2 to the under in the first five innings on the road, leading both hosts to the first five under at four and a half. The conversation then shifts to Nationals at Rangers in Arlington, Andrew Alvarez against Jacob deGrom, where Dave, at 6:08, points out how rarely Washington has faced deGrom this year despite his strong overall track record, while Munaf, at 8:28, lays out deGrom's split of a 2.93 road ERA against a bloated 5.01 mark at home. With Washington's bullpen a season long weakness, both hosts land on the first five under, which Dave later calls his best bet of the day. The night's finale is Angels at Astros in Houston, Grayson Rodriguez against Peter Lambert, with Houston a heavy home favorite and the total at eight and a half. Dave, at 10:11, walks through Lambert's turnaround from early season struggles to five straight starts allowing exactly two earned runs, while Munaf, at 12:27, adds that Rodriguez has been especially rough pitching in Anaheim, pushing both hosts toward the Astros run line in the first five innings. Dave also runs through several early getaway day games at 14:30, leaning toward the Royals over the Athletics, staying cautious on Guardians at Giants despite liking Cleveland starter Gavin Williams, and singling out Mariners at Brewers as his favorite look behind Brewers starter Robert Gasser. Munaf, at 16:20, flags a surprising trend for Mariners starter George Kirby, who has struggled on the road all season even as Seattle keeps winning those first five innings anyway. The back half of the show turns to the Los Angeles Rams, who open the 2026 season with an 11.5 win total after finishing 12-5 a year ago. The Rams enter this season after acquiring reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns and adding cornerback Trent McDuffie, with persistent rumors surrounding a possible Aaron Donald return. Dave, at 18:45 and 19:29, breaks down a demanding schedule that opens with a trip to Australia against the 49ers, continues with a Monday night home opener against the Giants, and includes road trips to Denver and Philadelphia before Buffalo visits, ultimately landing on the over given the talent around Matthew Stafford. Munaf, at 21:17, goes a step further, projecting 13 wins and a division title behind the continued production of Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams on offense, paired with a defense that could feature both Myles Garrett and a returning Aaron Donald. The show wraps with the day's best bets, Dave riding the Nationals-Rangers first five under four and a half while Munaf backs the Yankees-Orioles first five under, both hosts tying the picks back to bullpen concerns and starting pitching form across the card. Before signing off, the two point listeners toward a busy day of action that includes golf playoff coverage, a full baseball schedule, and NFL preseason football in the evening, with the next episode of Cash That Ticket set for Friday.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Wednesday, August 19 episode with a full betting agenda, running through a day baseball card before settling into five marquee night games and closing with a detailed look at the Baltimore Ravens win total for the coming NFL season. The show opens at 0:10 with a recap of Tuesday, where a best bet on the Astros fell short as the club managed only one run, while a late addition on the Blue Jays cashed after the market spent the afternoon leaning that direction. The Brewers also delivered a 22 run outburst on a first team total over, and both hosts agree the size of the margin does not change the value of the win. From there the guys turn to Wednesday's slate, beginning at 2:30 with Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins visiting Aaron Nola and the Phillies in an NL East matchup with the total set at eight and a half. Essler leans toward the over given a Phillies lineup that has seen plenty of Alcantara over the years, while Manji reinforces the pick by noting the first two games of this series both cleared ten combined runs and Miami carries one of the stronger road over rates in the league this season. At 4:44 the focus shifts to the Yankees and Orioles, Will Warren opposing Chris Bassitt, where the hosts back the over behind a red hot Bassitt since returning from the injured list and a notable gap in Warren's ERA between day games and night games. At 7:47 the crew previews Logan Gilbert and the Mariners against Dustin May and the Brewers, leaning toward a first five under behind Gilbert's strong seasonal trend in that split and questions about whether Milwaukee's offense stays hot after its outburst the night before. At 10:52 the Nationals and Rangers get a look, Cade Cavalli opposing Kumar Rocker, with both hosts siding with Washington as an underdog given Rocker's recent decline and a soft feeling total that Manji suggests attacking through a Nationals team total over. At 13:34 the Astros and Angels close out the marquee card, Ethan Pecko making his first major league start for Houston against Walbert Urena and the Angels, with both hosts landing firmly on the Angels given the price attached to an unproven starter and Urena's strong personal history against this Astros lineup. Around 16:16 the guys touch on a handful of additional angles, including an under lean in Cincinnati between the Reds and Cardinals and a first five lean on Cleveland behind one of the more reliable arms on the schedule this season. At 18:10 the show pivots to football, and the hosts spend real time on Baltimore's win total of eleven and a half following an 8 and 9 season that kept the Ravens out of the playoffs. They discuss the arrival of new head coach Jesse Minter, the free agent addition of pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, and a schedule that both hosts believe sets up favorably through the middle of the season and into a division heavy closing stretch. Essler walks through the week by week matchups in detail, while Manji highlights Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, and Mark Andrews as offensive pieces who could push the Ravens toward the higher end of their projected win range. Both hosts ultimately back the over on Baltimore, agreeing that a first year coaching staff typically buys the roster some patience regardless of immediate results. The episode closes with the day's best bets, a first five under between the Blue Jays and Rays built around a dominant WHIP from Tampa Bay's starter and a resurgent veteran arm for Toronto, and a Nationals team total over built around a Rangers starter who has struggled both at home and after dark in his recent outings. The hosts wrap by previewing tomorrow's show, which covers the final NFL win total of their series on the Los Angeles Rams alongside a lighter Thursday baseball slate.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler sit down on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, opening at 00:11 with a plan to run through the day's baseball card before turning to the next NFL win total on the board, the Buffalo Bills at ten and a half. Essler joins at 00:50 fresh off a rough night with a Braves team total, then lights up over a Frank Thomas rookie card pull from a fresh box, sparking a short conversation about grading costs, centering, and how AI and celebrity involvement have pushed the trading card market toward pricier autographed, numbered parallels. At 02:25, Manji delivers a scheduling note, confirming this is the final week of the show before it shifts into its football format, with a Thursday props pod, a college football podcast alongside Lante, a Monday morning recap paired with a Monday Night Football preview, and a full weekend preview show on Fridays taking its place, while the current format returns after the new year. The baseball breakdown begins at 04:13 with the Yankees at the Orioles, Carlos Rodon opposing Shane Baz at a total of eight and a half, where Essler leans toward the Yankees team total while Manji sides with Baltimore on the moneyline, pointing to New York's struggles with runners in scoring position and Rodon's recent return from the injured list. At 08:09, the Blue Jays visit the Rays, Jose Soriano against Nick Martinez at seven and a half, with both hosts warming to Toronto behind Soriano's strong two starts and a struggling Tampa Bay bullpen. At 12:16, the Tigers travel to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates, Keter Montero opposite Braxton Ashcraft at a total of eight, where Essler favors a first five under while Manji likes Detroit's plus money given its league best road record since the All Star break. At 17:06, the Padres meet the Mets, Robbie Ray against Zack Thornton at eight and a half, with both hosts landing on the first five over given shaky command from both starters. At 21:16, the card closes with the Mariners in Milwaukee against the Brewers, Bryce Miller opposing Kyle Harrison at seven and a half, where Manji highlights Miller's poor road form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade angle to back the Brewers team total over three and a half. Essler runs down the rest of the day's slate at 25:36 before the conversation turns to football at 29:23, where the hosts dig into the Buffalo Bills win total of ten and a half. They walk through a 12 and 5 season a year ago, an AFC East runner up finish behind New England, a wild card win over Jacksonville, and an overtime divisional round exit in Denver, before previewing new head coach Joe Brady, the addition of DJ Moore at receiver, and a defense under new coordinator Jim Leonard that both hosts see as the swing factor for the season. They break down the schedule in detail, from the Week 1 trip to Houston through a manageable home stretch, a West Coast swing, and a difficult December run, ultimately agreeing the over is the right side if Josh Allen stays healthy. At 39:22, the hosts remind listeners about the pregame.com picks package and a seasonal discount before wrapping with best bets at 41:38, Essler backing the Astros team total over four and a half against the Angels and Manji sticking with the Brewers team total over three and a half against the Mariners. The show closes at 46:08 with Essler hoping his card collection has one more gem waiting inside, and Manji confirming the crew returns tomorrow with more picks and analysis as the season rolls on toward the football schedule ahead.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Thursday's episode by working through a three game getaway day slate before turning their attention to two of the more closely watched NFL win totals on the board. The night's headline game is the Field of Dreams matchup between the Phillies and Twins in Dyersville, Iowa, streaming on Netflix, with Aaron Nola starting for Philadelphia against Taj Bradley for Minnesota. Rain is the real storyline here, with chances climbing through the evening and threatening to shorten or postpone the game entirely, a factor the hosts believe is keeping the total pinned at eight and a half even as public money piles onto the over. Dave leans the under and toward Minnesota given his skepticism of Nola's recent form, while Munaf backs up the same concerns with Nola's home and road numbers this season. From there the show moves to Rangers at Angels, where Jacob deGrom's rough recent stretch against Houston and the White Sox opens the door for a high variance read on Walbert Urena and a shaky Los Angeles bullpen, with Dave favoring an Angels first five look and a Rangers team total over, while Munaf reveals he is the featured dollar capper on Pregame.com with a three star play on the game. The nightcap pits Shane Drohan against Roki Sasaki as the Brewers visit the Dodgers, with a Freddie Freeman injury scare from the previous night hanging over the Los Angeles lineup. Both hosts lean under the total, with Dave adding the Brewers on the run line given Milwaukee's bullpen depth and Drohan's tendency to limit home runs. After a quick pass through the day's earlier getaway games, including a Red Sox and Blue Jays pitching matchup between Payton Tolle and Max Scherzer, the conversation shifts fully into football. The Philadelphia Eagles carry a win total of ten and a half after an eleven and six season and a second straight NFC East title, and both hosts take the under, pointing to the trade of A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, first year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion learning on the job, lingering questions in the secondary beyond Cooper DeJean, and a stronger projected NFC East. They still see Philadelphia as a ten win caliber team capable of winning the division, with DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie Makai Lemon absorbing a larger share of the passing game behind Saquon Barkley. The Detroit Lions carry the same ten and a half win total after a nine and eight season that saw the best point differential in the NFC North undone by a losing divisional record. Dave leans under given injuries to both projected starting safeties and a tougher slate of divisional quarterbacks, while Munaf takes the over, betting on Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Aidan Hutchinson returning to full strength on defense. The two hosts close the show with their daily best bets, Dave backing the Green Bay Packers minus three and a half in the first half of their preseason opener against Pittsburgh, and Munaf taking the over in Texans at Chargers behind Houston's deep receiver room and Mike McDaniel's new offense in Los Angeles. Listeners are reminded to use promo code NFL50 for fifty dollars off a full NFL season access package on Pregame.com, and the crew previews tomorrow's episode, which continues the NFL win total series with a look at the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Tuesday's show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a quick recap of Essler's round at TPC Sawgrass, where he parred the famous island green 17th hole, before turning to a Monday betting recap in which the Brewers moneyline fell short again but an over in the Astros game cashed thanks to a three run 10th inning. From there the hosts work through a full Tuesday MLB card. At 3:26 they break down Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins, questioning whether Skenes at minus 112 is a gift or a trap given his rough road numbers, and landing on Miami in the first five innings with the under. At 7:14 the focus shifts to Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians against Drew Anderson and the Detroit Tigers, with rain in the forecast and both hosts wary of laying a price behind Anderson in what could turn into a bullpen day for Detroit. At 11:25 the hosts return to a familiar theme, fading Bryan Woo's brutal road splits as the Seattle Mariners visit Ryan Weathers and the New York Yankees, backing New York in the first five innings. At 14:53 they weigh Dylan Cease's heavy recent workload, including a one hit shutout of Boston, as the Red Sox visit Toronto, with Essler leaning the over and Manji preferring Toronto in the first five given his lack of trust in the Blue Jays offense. At 19:05 the Mets visit the Braves, with Nolan McLean and Martin Perez both trending toward an over, backed by New York's recent history of hammering Perez. At 22:49 the card closes with the Brewers visiting the Padres, where sharp money has pushed the line toward San Diego despite the majority of tickets sitting on Kyle Harrison, leading both hosts to the Padres and the under. The hosts also run through a batch of additional games, including a look at Hunter Brown starting in San Francisco and a Los Angeles Dodgers team total play against Kansas City's Michael Wacha, tying into the ripple effects of the Tarik Skubal trade. At 29:30 the show shifts into its recurring NFL win total series with a full breakdown of the San Francisco 49ers, who sit near nine and a half wins for the coming season. Manji lays out the offseason additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the return of Deebo Samuel, and last year's plus 66 point differential in a loaded NFC West, while Essler zeroes in on a difficult closing schedule that includes the league's first regular season game in Australia against a Los Angeles Rams team now featuring Myles Garrett after his blockbuster trade away from Cleveland. The two hosts land on opposite sides of the total, with Essler leaning under and Manji taking the over and projecting a ten win season if the roster stays healthy. The episode wraps with best bets from both hosts, Essler backing the Yankees moneyline against Seattle and Manji riding the Dodgers team total over against Kansas City, plus a lighthearted exchange about fantasy football plans for the year. Cash That Ticket airs daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, delivering sharp, matchup by matchup betting analysis across baseball, football, and beyond for listeners chasing an edge on every card. New episodes continue tomorrow with a breakdown of the Kansas City Chiefs win total heading into the AFC West race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji runs the Monday, August 10 edition of Cash That Ticket on his own, with Dave Essler away handling personal matters and expected back Tuesday, when the show will also tackle the next NFL win total as preseason opens this week. Munaf opens with an honest look at a rough recent stretch for baseball wagering, both on the podcast and for his clients on Pregame.com, pointing to Sunday's setback as the latest example. He had backed the Brewers at minus one and a half with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, only to watch Kody Clemens hit a two run home run that tied the game and forced extra innings. Milwaukee won outright but the run line ticket fell short. Friday's Best Bet podcast fared better, cashing on the Cleveland Guardians moneyline with Parker Messick starting. Munaf also touches on the Dodgers, who snapped a losing streak over the weekend only to fall again on Sunday against the Diamondbacks, where Eduardo Rodriguez worked seven strong innings against a Los Angeles offense he calls shockingly quiet given the roster's talent. From there, Munaf runs his weekly standings check, noting the Rays hold a five and a half game lead over the Yankees in the American League East while the Red Sox slide to seven games back after dropping their weekend series to the Athletics. The White Sox lead the Tigers by three and a half games in the AL Central, and the AL West sits as the league's tightest race, with the Astros up half a game on the Rangers and the Mariners four back in a division where every team carries a negative run differential. In the National League, the Braves hold an eight and a half game lead over the Phillies, the Brewers are up five and a half on the Cubs, and the Dodgers remain seven and a half games clear of the Diamondbacks despite their recent stumble. Munaf then works through five matchups on the Monday card. Sonny Gray and the Red Sox visit Jameson Taillon and the Blue Jays, with Gray's strong road and night splits pushing Munaf toward Boston on the moneyline despite a rocky recent history against this Toronto lineup. Christian Scott and Bryce Elder headline Mets at Braves, where a surging Mets offense and warm, carrying conditions in Atlanta have Munaf leaning to the over. Andrew Painter continues to scuffle for the Phillies against Hunter Dobbins and the Cardinals, and with a bullpen Munaf calls putrid over the last month, he leans to the over, whether through the first five innings or the full game. Logan Henderson gets the assignment for the Brewers against Casey Mize and the Padres, and between Henderson's dominant recent form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade trend that favors Milwaukee, Munaf names this his best bet of the show, the Brewers moneyline at minus 115. Blade Tidwell makes just his second career start for the Giants opposite Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and rather than lay heavy juice on a shorthanded Houston lineup, Munaf leans to the over. He credits Yordan Alvarez with carrying the top of the Astros order while Jose Altuve works through a down year, with Jeremy Peña, Cam Smith, and Daulton Varsho all contributing. Before wrapping, Munaf previews tonight's marquee pitching matchup, Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers against Noah Cameron and the Royals, calling it the best chance yet for a struggling Los Angeles offense to turn things around given Skubal's strong recent history against Kansas City. Munaf closes with a reminder about the Pregame.com Bulk Dollars promotion, twenty dollars for one hundred Bulk Dollars that can be spent like cash across any best bet package and never expires, even though the promotion window itself closes at midnight tonight. He signs off hoping Dave Essler returns Tuesday and that the next episode arrives with a winning best bet already in hand, wishing listeners good luck with their bets and encouraging them to enjoy the games.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Friday. Munaf Manji hosts Friday, August 7's Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, opening with a recap of Thursday's card before working through a full slate of Major League Baseball betting angles for the night ahead. He reviews a winning Washington Nationals team total for Uncle Dave against Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies, a tough loss on the Kansas City Royals despite a strong start from Bailey Ober for the Minnesota Twins and a solid outing from Michael Wacha, and touches on the grind of a rough recent stretch handicapping baseball across the industry. He also breaks down the NFL Hall of Fame Game, where rookie quarterback Haynes King led the Carolina Panthers to a 33 to 30 win over the Arizona Cardinals on a last second touchdown that blew well past the total, and shares a note that Garrett Crochet is expected back for the Boston Red Sox out of the bullpen rather than as a starter for now. He runs through the rest of Thursday's scores, including a marathon 13 inning win for the Red Sox over the White Sox, a blowout for Detroit over Seattle, and a Mets sweep of the Cleveland Guardians that included a difficult team debut for newly acquired starter Foster Griffin. From there Munaf builds out Friday's full card, starting with the Cincinnati Reds visiting the Washington Nationals in what looks like a bullpen day for Chase Petty against Cade Cavalli, with the Nationals offense cooling after trading Luis Garcia Junior to the Yankees and losing James Wood to injury. He covers Tyler Mahle's first start for the Atlanta Braves against former teammate Max Fried and the surging Yankees, and identifies the marquee matchup of the night as Parker Messick and the Cleveland Guardians visiting Noah Schultz and the division leading Chicago White Sox in a tightly bunched American League Central race. He also previews Roki Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting a struggling Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Robbie Ray's San Diego Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros, before running through quick hits on Jose Soriano's Toronto Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, Payton Tolle and the Red Sox against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Kevin Gausman's Chicago Cubs debut against the Royals, and the Cardinals hosting Ryan Feltner and the Rockies. Munaf highlights the biggest promotion of the year at Pregame dot com, where 20 dollars buys bettors 100 bulk dollars in credit, a 400 percent bonus that never expires and can be applied toward any picks package on the site. His official Cash That Ticket best bet of the night lands on the Cleveland Guardians at minus 136 on the moneyline over the Chicago White Sox, built around Parker Messick against a struggling Noah Schultz in a series carrying real weight for the division race, with Munaf noting that a Guardians win or sweep this weekend could pull Cleveland level with Chicago atop the American League Central depending on how the Minnesota Twins fare in their own series in Milwaukee. It is a full recap and preview built for bettors chasing value across totals, moneylines, and team props on a busy Friday slate, delivered with the same numbers driven, conversational approach that has made Cash That Ticket a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed.

Griffin Warner talks betting on Friday. Griffin Warner runs through a stacked Friday, August 7 Major League Baseball slate on Episode 80 of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast feed, breaking down all 11 games at a moment when several rotations are still shifting in the wake of the trade deadline. He opens with the Mets sending Zach Thornton to Pittsburgh against Carmen Mlodzinski, reading the heavy under juice on the eight and a half total as a sign the market expects a Pirates bullpen game, especially with new arm Luke Weaver now closing and Mets closer Devin Williams sitting the last two nights. Griffin leans toward New York at plus 129 and likes the over, suggesting patience for a push to eight. He then covers Jose Soriano's Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, preferring the Toronto run line at plus one and a half over the moneyline, and the first five under four and a half. Tyler Mahle's first start for the Braves against former teammate Max Fried in the Bronx draws Griffin's trust in the Atlanta bullpen despite a modest season, landing on the Braves at plus 134 and the under eight. He gives a brief look at the Athletics visiting a red hot Red Sox club before diving into the Angels and Marlins, where he backs Tyler Phillips and multiple unders against a struggling Los Angeles lineup. The show's strongest opinion arrives with the Guardians visiting the White Sox, where Griffin fades Parker Messick despite respecting his stuff, pointing to Cleveland's shaky bullpen, poor defense, and inability to hit with runners on, and lands on Chicago at plus 122 with unders on both the full game and first five totals. He explains why the Twins overspent caution at the deadline on players like Dean Kremer even as Zebby Matthews starts in Milwaukee, builds a live number on air for Kevin Gausman and the Cubs visiting Daniel Lynch and the Royals, and gives quick reads on the Rockies at the Cardinals and the Orioles at the Rangers, a series carrying real American League wild card weight against Nathan Eovaldi. Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers traveling to face Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks brings out Griffin's long standing support for Kelly, who he calls himself a stan of, with the Dodgers bullpen still sorting out closer Edwin Diaz's role working in Arizona's favor. He closes his game by game breakdown with Robbie Ray's Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Astros, and a Rays and Mariners matchup between Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert that he calls arguably the best pitching matchup of the night. Before locking in his official pick, Griffin shares a Pregame dot com promo code, hit fifty, good for fifty dollars off Major League Baseball Second Half All Access, which runs through the World Series and drops from 349 dollars to 299 dollars through August 10. His official What I Bet best bet of the episode is the San Diego Padres at minus 120 over the Houston Astros, citing Robbie Ray's strong recent form, a deep Padres bullpen, and doubts about Houston's offense beyond Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena. Throughout the episode Griffin threads in bigger picture storylines, from the Mets continuing to mash without Juan Soto to Cleveland's fall from first place, the Twins facing fan backlash over a quiet deadline, and a wide open American League wild card race where the Yankees and Red Sox look closer to locking up spots than everyone else chasing the final berth. It is a full rundown built for bettors looking for value across every window of the night, from first pitch runs to first five totals to closing numbers, delivered with the same mix of numbers and opinion that has made the show a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors all season long, with new episodes covering every slate straight through the rest of the season and into the playoffs.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk sports betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler open with a look back at a profitable recent stretch before diving into a loaded Tuesday MLB card that features five headline matchups and closes with an early breakdown of the Green Bay Packers win total for the coming NFL season. The guys start in Cleveland, where Sean Manaea and the Mets face Joey Cantillo and the Guardians, debating whether a deflated Mets team total makes more sense than laying a heavy price on Cleveland, especially with New York missing Juan Soto and the Guardians bullpen showing some recent cracks. From there they move to Cincinnati, where JT Ginn and the Athletics face Brady Singer and the Reds, with both hosts leaning toward two ground ball pitchers keeping the total under in mild conditions, while an Athletics club missing Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker adds to the case. The White Sox and Red Sox get a look next, with Davis Martin cooling off significantly since a hot start and Boston riding a long run as a road underdog after adding catcher Adley Rutschman at the trade deadline. The headline game of the night sends Tarik Skubal to the mound for his first start in a Dodgers uniform against Javier Assad and the Cubs, and the guys dig into lopsided betting splits on the under before landing on a first five innings approach given how unfamiliar Chicago hitters are with a new face in the division. The marquee slate wraps with Randy Vasquez and the Padres visiting Eduardo Rodriguez and a red hot Diamondbacks club, where sharp money on San Diego catches Uncle Dave's attention even as Munaf leans toward trusting Arizona's dominant home and road splits. Along the way the guys touch on the Pirates, Twins, Yankees, Rays and a Blue Jays team they both believe is quietly playing its way into relevance against a thin Houston rotation. The back half of the show pivots to football, where a full breakdown of the Green Bay Packers win total covers quarterback Jordan Love's up and down health history, lingering questions around Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft on defense, and a rugged opening schedule that has both hosts leaning toward the under for the season. Before wrapping up, the guys share a promo code for fifty dollars off the rest of season MLB all access package, and close with best bets on the board, including a total in the Giants and Rangers game and a first five innings look between the Athletics and Reds. Whether you are following the MLB stretch run or getting an early jump on NFL win totals, this episode covers the full board with context, numbers, and a couple of strong opinions along the way.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the month of August by reacting to the biggest move of trade deadline day before working through a full Monday baseball card and unveiling their next NFL win total on the Houston Texans. At 00:00 Munaf sets the stage for a busy trade deadline session, and at 01:53 the pair discusses Tarik Skubal moving from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a trade that pushed Los Angeles' World Series odds from roughly plus 175 down to plus 150. At 02:39 they preview the Nationals hosting the Phillies, where Trevor Williams starts opposite Aaron Nola just after Philadelphia added Luis Arraez to play second base, with Dave leaning toward the Nationals team total over three and a half runs given Nola's bloated recent numbers and Munaf backing the same direction with a strong seasonal over trend for Washington. At 06:37 they turn to the Cardinals visiting the Yankees, where Michael McGreevy faces Cam Schlittler, with both hosts leaning toward the under given New York's heavy favorite price and Schlittler's strong road splits. At 09:48 they cover the Pirates at the Brewers, with Bubba Chandler opposing Brandon Sproat, both hosts landing on the Pittsburgh team total over given Sproat's control issues. At 13:13 they preview the Dodgers at the Cubs, Justin Wrobleski against Matthew Boyd, with Dave taking Chicago at plus money and Munaf citing a profitable trend fading teams on the road the day after Sunday night baseball. At 16:30 they break down the Padres at the Diamondbacks, Michael King against Brandon Pfaadt, with Dave siding with Arizona at a cheap price while Munaf prefers San Diego given King's strong history against this opponent. At 20:17 they run through quick hits on the Giants at the Rangers, the Blue Jays at the Astros with Shane Bieber and Cristian Javier, and the Rays at the Rockies with Ian Seymour and Michael Lorenzen, flagging Colorado's hot home scoring trend. At 23:07 the conversation shifts to football, where Munaf and Dave unveil the Houston Texans win total of nine and a half, discussing a defense built around Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., Reed Blankenship, and the returning Jadeveon Clowney, along with questions about the offensive line protecting C.J. Stroud and the additions of David Montgomery and Woody Marks in the backfield, ultimately landing on the over. At 31:41 Munaf shares a promo code for Pregame.com, RBI50, good for fifty dollars off the Major League Baseball second half all access package through the World Series. The episode closes at 33:03 with best bets, Dave taking the Washington Nationals team total over three and a half runs and Munaf going with the Rays and Rockies first five innings over six, wrapping a trade deadline day that reshaped several rosters and a season-opening look at one of the league's most anticipated teams heading into the fall.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Trade deadline day arrives in the middle of a full Major League Baseball slate, and Griffin Warner spends this episode walking through every game on the board while the deadline itself keeps shifting the ground under several starting pitchers. He opens by noting that the Washington Nationals had already begun trading away pieces in the days before, a familiar pattern for a club that has repeatedly sold off talent once a playoff push stops looking realistic, and that the San Diego Padres spent the weekend as one of the league's biggest question marks, with starter Michael King's turn in the rotation pushed from Sunday to Monday amid persistent trade speculation. At 02:00 Griffin opens with the St. Louis Cardinals traveling to face the New York Yankees, where Michael McGreevy starts on the road opposite Cam Schlittler, New York opening as a minus 193 favorite with St. Louis getting plus 174 and the total sitting at seven and a half at even money in both directions. He questions whether McGreevy's soft contact approach can hold up in a small ballpark and leans to the under on the full game and the first five innings. At 03:17 the card shifts to Pittsburgh, where Pirates prospect Bubba Chandler starts on the road against a Milwaukee Brewers club still working with the return from trading ace Freddy Peralta, whose rights moved again to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, and Griffin says the plus 125 underdog price on Chandler is not enough for him while he leans the total toward the over given his doubts about Pittsburgh's bullpen. At 04:02 he covers the Los Angeles Dodgers sending Justin Wrobleski to Chicago to face Matthew Boyd and the Cubs, liking the plus 116 home underdog price on Boyd given the travel the Dodgers faced after Sunday night baseball. At 04:48 he previews Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants on the road against Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers in Arlington, saying he does not trust San Francisco as a minus 107 road favorite and would only get involved if the Giants were available as an underdog with plus money. At 05:49 he breaks down Shane Bieber and the Toronto Blue Jays traveling to face Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros, noting that Bieber himself could be traded before the deadline closes and calling the minus 129 price on Houston a little cheap given how well Javier has pitched out of the bullpen. At 06:19 he covers the Tampa Bay Rays sending Ian Seymour to Colorado to face Michael Lorenzen and the Rockies, expecting Colorado to score plenty while staying away from the over given his concerns about the Rays bullpen holding up its end. At 06:49 he closes the game breakdown with the Padres traveling to Arizona, where Brandon Pfaadt is a minus 110 favorite for the Diamondbacks, saying that price seems cheap and that he leans toward the over on the total and toward Arizona at home, especially if Michael King is unavailable to start for San Diego. At 08:06 Griffin directs listeners to Pregame.com and promo code HIT50 for fifty dollars off his Major League Baseball second half all access package, discounted from three hundred forty nine dollars to two hundred ninety nine dollars for the rest of the season through the World Series, noting the package has been up twenty four units during the current promotional window and has run north of thirty units at points this season. He wraps the episode at 09:07 with his best bet, acknowledging a loss last time out on Cleveland against Arizona before landing on Houston Astros minus 129 over the Toronto Blue Jays as the play he trusts most on a trade deadline day card shaped as much by roster uncertainty as by the numbers themselves.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out the month of July with a full Cash That Ticket breakdown of Friday's Major League Baseball card, delivered on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, opening with an honest look at a rough month before diving into a slate loaded with division and wild card stakes. They start with Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds, leaning toward Pittsburgh's deeper bullpen in the first five innings, then turn to Andrew Painter and the Philadelphia Phillies against the Baltimore Orioles, where Painter's rough return from injury has both hosts circling the Orioles team total. Janson Junk and the Miami Marlins head to Citi Field to face a declining Freddy Peralta and the New York Mets, with both hosts leaning Miami in the first five innings as Peralta's trade rumors swirl. Foster Griffin gets the ball for Washington on the road against Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves, and the guys like Griffin's strong history against Atlanta even while admitting they do not trust the Nationals bullpen for a full nine. Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers visit a red hot Hunter Brown and the Houston Astros, a spot where Munaf backs the home favorite while Dave eyes value on the total given Houston's recent form. The night's headline game sends Ranger Suarez and the Boston Red Sox into Dodger Stadium against Eduardo Henrique and the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Shohei Ohtani back in the lineup and both hosts circling the Dodgers team total given the lineup's depth. Dave runs through a string of quicker takes covering the Milwaukee Brewers against the Los Angeles Angels, the Colorado Rockies against the Kansas City Royals, the Cleveland Guardians against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Seattle Mariners against the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago White Sox against the Tampa Bay Rays, and the San Francisco Giants against the San Diego Padres, before the show pivots entirely into football. The back half of the episode breaks down the Denver Broncos' win total heading into a new season under Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix, covering a brutal opening schedule, an improved receiving corps after adding Jaylen Waddle alongside Evan Engram, and a defense led by Patrick Surtain that should again rank among the league's best, with both hosts leaning toward the over while flagging real questions about an unproven backfield. They close the football segment with a season long passing yards prop on Bo Nix before locking in their best bets of the show. Along the way Munaf shares a Pregame dot com promo code, RBI50, worth fifty dollars off the Major League Baseball second half all access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars down to 299 dollars and covering every card through the World Series, valid through August 10. Best bets on this episode include a run line play on the Athletics against the Detroit Tigers built around heavy reverse line movement, and a moneyline lean on the Houston Astros over the Rangers, as the guys wrap up July, take stock of a disappointing Tigers season derailed by injuries, and look ahead to a Monday show previewing the Houston Texans win total for the coming NFL season, closing out another detailed, deadline aware breakdown of a full slate of games, injury news, and win total value across baseball and football.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner breaks down a packed Friday, July 31 Major League Baseball card on this episode of What I Bet from the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast network, arriving on a strong run of 6 and 2 in his last 8, 10 and 4 in his last 14, 12 and 5 in his last 17, and 15 and 7 in his last 22. He opens at Wrigley Field, where the Yankees and Will Warren face the Cubs and Shota Imanaga in an early matinee complicated by two exhausted bullpens after both clubs needed extra innings the night before, a combination he says points toward the over on a total of 9. From there he moves to Cincinnati, where Paul Skenes and the Pirates visit Hunter Greene and the Reds at 6:10 eastern, with Greene still finding his form off the injured list and Griffin leaning under on a total near 7 and a half. He covers Toronto's well rested trip to St. Louis, where Dylan Cease, fresh off a complete game shutout at Fenway Park, faces a hot Kyle Leahy and the Cardinals, still catching their breath after outfielder Lars Nootbaar misplayed a fly ball that let Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman score, with Griffin leaning under again. He works through the Marlins and Mets, where Janson Junk meets an impending trade candidate in Freddy Peralta, the White Sox and Rays, where a hot Erick Fedde draws real skepticism, the Diamondbacks and Guardians, where Griffin likes Cleveland's defense over Arizona's offense, and the Nationals and Braves, where he backs Washington's Foster Griffin as a live underdog despite bullpen concerns. He breaks down Texas and Houston, leaning toward Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers over Hunter Brown and the Astros, the Royals and Rockies, where Michael Wacha gets strong praise after Kansas City's brutal walk off grand slam loss to Minnesota, the Brewers and Angels, where neither bullpen earns his trust, and a Tigers and Athletics matchup thrown into question after Detroit scratched trade candidate Casey Mize from his start and opted for a bullpen game instead, with ace Tarik Skubal still expected to be dealt before the deadline. He closes the card with Minnesota's Zebby Matthews on the road against Bryce Miller and the Mariners, leaning under on a low scoring night in Seattle. Along the way Griffin shares a Pregame.com promo code, HIT50, good for fifty dollars off his Major League Baseball second half all access package covering every card through the World Series, good through August 10, and notes he is up 23.92 units on the season with a chance to cross 30 units soon. He wraps the episode with his top play of the night, siding with a slight home favorite in the Cleveland Guardians and Tanner Bibee at minus 132, capping off another sharp, detail heavy breakdown of a full slate of games, injury returns, bullpen fatigue, and trade deadline maneuvering across the league heading into the first weekend of August.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out July with a full slate of MLB betting breakdowns and the next installment of their NFL win total tour on Cash That Ticket, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The show opens with a look back at a winning stretch, including an Astros team total that cashed even though the offense attacked the bullpen rather than the starter as expected, and Essler reports a 3 and 1 day for clients despite his own best bet falling short. Manji shares updated season figures showing a July best bets record of 11 and 11 for negative 2.55 units, with the podcast sitting at roughly plus 13.1 units year to date, before venting about a three star best bet on the Phillies run line that fell apart when a six run lead evaporated in an eventual loss to the Marlins. From there the hosts dig into five matchups on the day's card. Eury Pérez and the Miami Marlins face Nolan McLean and the New York Mets, with the offense's struggles without an injured Juan Soto pushing both hosts toward a first five under look. Yohan Ramírez and a bullpen day for the Pittsburgh Pirates opposite Rhett Lowder and the Cincinnati Reds bring a strong lean toward the Pittsburgh team total over, powered by a shaky Cincinnati bullpen and a small home ballpark. Jake Irvin's return from a lengthy injured list stint for the Washington Nationals against Grant Holmes and the Atlanta Braves points both hosts toward the Washington team total over, backed by the Nationals' strong road numbers this season. JP Sears and the San Diego Padres draw a favorable matchup against Robbie Ray and the San Francisco Giants, with Ray's steep home and road split pushing the market and both hosts toward San Diego. A quick look at the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers highlights Bryan Woo's extreme home and road splits, while the Boston Red Sox and Athletics get a brief mention after a frustrating result the night before. The back half of the show pivots to the NFL, with the Los Angeles Chargers carrying a nine and a half win total into the 2026 season after an 11 and 6 finish and a wild card playoff berth under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Essler and Manji cover the hire of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the encouraging return to practice for tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, the addition of first round pick Akheem Mesidor to the defense, and a demanding travel schedule that includes trips to Buffalo, Seattle, Kansas City, Baltimore twice, and a late season stretch through Tampa Bay and Miami. Essler leans toward the over while acknowledging the Chargers could finish closer to 9 and 8, and Manji takes the under, citing the travel load and the adjustment period ahead for quarterback Justin Herbert in a new offensive system, along with questions about receiver Ladd McConkey's role and the development of running back Omarion Hampton. The show wraps with the daily best bets, Essler siding with the Pittsburgh Pirates team total over four and a half and Manji backing the Washington Nationals team total over four and a half, before a reminder to use promo code RBI50 at pregame.com for fifty dollars off second half MLB season access and a preview of Friday's episode covering the Denver Broncos win total with quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner opens the show with a look back at a hot recent run before diving into a packed ten game Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, working from the early window through the night's final first pitch in Los Angeles. He starts with the Texas Rangers visiting the Tampa Bay Rays at 12:10 Eastern, where Cole Winn faces one of the game's most dominant arms in Shane McClanahan, and explains why he still finds value on a Tampa Bay team built to win at home even with a slightly bigger price than he would like. From there he moves to the Kansas City Royals at the Minnesota Twins, detailing how injuries to Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino have shaped his lean to the under, while questioning whether Bailey Ober can keep missing bats with modest velocity for his size. He covers the New York Yankees trip to face the Chicago White Sox and Sean Burke, pointing to sloppy recent losses and a red hot closer in David Bednar as reasons Chicago has yet to earn his trust as a home underdog. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals get a full breakdown next, with Warner favoring Chicago's defense and approach over a Cardinals club he believes has overachieved and is due for a correction, even with Andre Pallante pitching well lately. He previews the Miami Marlins traveling to face the New York Mets, weighing a fresh Juan Soto injury and a taxing doubleheader against a Miami team trying to snap a long losing streak behind a talented young arm. The Pittsburgh Pirates at the Cincinnati Reds gets attention for a disrespected home underdog price and a hitter friendly ballpark that shapes his total lean, and the Washington Nationals at the Atlanta Braves becomes his headline play of the night, with Jake Irvin returning from injury and a shaky Washington bullpen pushing him firmly toward the over. He closes the game by game breakdown with the Seattle Mariners visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, explaining why a difficult home run park and a pitcher who has struggled on the road push him toward a total that most books have set too low. Along the way Warner shares his season long track record, sitting comfortably in the green and chasing a higher unit total before the World Series, and details how listeners can save fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball Second Half All Access package using a promo code good for a limited time. The episode wraps with his single best bet of the day, a total play built around a Washington offense he expects to produce plenty of runs against an Atlanta pitching staff and bullpen he does not fully trust, closing out another edition of his daily baseball betting breakdown with the same discipline and record keeping that has defined his recent stretch of results.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. On episode 73 of What I Bet, Griffin Warner runs through the entire July 29 Major League Baseball card before landing on his best bet of the night, opening with a check on his previous pick, Detroit on the money line at minus 130, while noting his recent form of four and two over his last six selections, eight and four over his last twelve, ten and five over his last fifteen, and thirteen and seven over his last twenty. He works methodically through the slate, starting with Jesus Luzardo and the Phillies visiting Ryan Gusto and a Marlins club fresh off a stunning comeback win, then moves into a genuine Wild Card scrap between Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks and Jared Jones and the Pirates, a Blue Jays trip to face Zack Littell and the Nationals, and the opener of a Braves Mets doubleheader featuring AJ Smith-Shawver's return from elbow surgery against Sean Manaea. Warner covers Trevor Rogers and the Orioles taking on a Tigers club leaning on Tarik Skubal, a low scoring look at Shane Drohan and the Brewers against Logan Webb and the Giants, a Rangers trip to face a Rays bullpen game fronted by Casey Legumina, and Joey Cantillo pitching for the Guardians against a surging Cincinnati offense behind Brady Singer. He previews the Braves Mets doubleheader nightcap between Chris Sale and Christian Scott, a Yankees White Sox matchup pitting Cam Schlittler against Davis Martin, a Royals Twins game with Randy Dobnak on the mound for Kansas City, Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visiting Dustin May and the Cardinals, Hayden Wesneski's 2026 debut for Houston against Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels, Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox against Jacob Lopez and the Athletics, and closes the card with a marquee matchup between Emerson Hancock and the Mariners against Eric Lauer and the Dodgers. Throughout, Warner breaks down current moneylines, run totals, and juice on both sides, weighs bullpen strength and recent form, and flags which underdogs he believes are priced fairly and which are not. He shares a Pregame.com promotional code, HIT50, that saves fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball second half all access package covering every pick through the World Series, bringing the regular 349 dollar price down to 299 dollars through August 10, while noting he is plus 23.92 MLB units on the season with a goal of doubling that total. Warner closes the show with his official best bet for the episode, the under seven and a half runs in game two of the Braves Mets doubleheader, built around Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta against Christian Scott for New York, explaining that he leans toward the under nearly every time Sale pitches and does not fully trust a recent Mets offensive uptick against a true ace working on a turnaround between games. It is a comprehensive, game by game breakdown of a packed Wednesday slate from one of the more consistent voices in the sports betting podcast space, capping a stretch in which Warner has gone thirteen and seven over his last twenty selections while building toward a season long goal of forty units won.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the Wednesday, July 29 edition of Cash That Ticket by celebrating a winning start to the week, a one and zero best bet outing thanks to Essler's Brewers cashing convincingly, before diving into a full slate of afternoon and evening baseball. The two work through Guardians at Reds first, questioning why Cleveland starter Joey Cantillo is priced as such a heavy favorite given a pair of rough outings since the All Star break, and land on the Reds team total over along with a first five innings lean given how hitter friendly the ballpark tends to play. From there they move to Yankees at White Sox, where Cam Schlittlers wild variance this season gets weighed against strong road splits, an eight and two record and a sub two ERA away from home, pushing both hosts toward New York in the first five innings. The Cubs and Cardinals get a long look next, with Matthew Boyd's recent form squared off against a Dustin May start that has both hosts unsure which version of the right hander will show up, ultimately settling on a first five innings under given two bullpens that could swing either way. The night's headline matchup, Astros at Angels, brings out the strongest conviction of the show, with both hosts pounding Houston in the first five innings and on the team total over against a Los Angeles starter who has been hit hard in four of his last five outings and carries a home ERA over ten. Healthy again, Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez comes up repeatedly throughout the show as the engine behind Houston's offense, with both hosts hoping the rest of the lineup can find its footing around him. A quick tour of the remaining card touches on Detroit ace Tarik Skubal possibly making his final start before a trade, a Rangers and Rays first five lean, a pass on a heavily priced Royals and Twins game, a small ballpark total lean in Boston, and a Dodgers first five pick on the run line against Seattle with the wind blowing out in Los Angeles. The back half of the show pivots to football, continuing an ongoing win total series with a detailed breakdown of the Chicago Bears at nine and a half wins heading into year two under head coach Ben Johnson. One host leans toward the over, pointing to quarterback development, returning continuity on offense, and a schedule that could open favorably, while the other leans toward the under, citing a demanding road slate, a receiver room thinned by an offseason trade, and a tougher overall conference gauntlet. Both agree to revisit the number several weeks into the season once more information is available. The show wraps with best bets for the night, one host riding a Cardinals first five pick behind Dustin May, the other sticking with the Astros team total over against a struggling Angels starter, plus a reminder to check out the sponsor offer for MLB coverage running through the World Series. The two close with a look ahead to Thursday's episode, which turns the win total series toward the Los Angeles Chargers and their quarterback, along with a story about the surprising number of loyal fans who once traveled to a freezing January road game to support their team.
