There's a great saying in basketball, 'his sneakers squeak differently than everybody else,' and that's what this podcast is defined by. Where Fantasy Football meets Vegas and everything in between. Other shows cover fantasy, gambling, or football with maybe a little of each sprinkled in. This is the first football show that truly connects the overlap of fantasy football and gambling. We cover both sides of the ball. There's an obvious correlation between fantasy analytics and the betting market. We focus on exploiting that with endless banter along the way.
Nickolas Edwards & Matt Parmely breakdown all four games in the divisional round and offer their best bets this weekend. Look for a few different sides, some teaser talk, and a great derivative bet on Sunday that hasn't quite been eaten up yet, leaving a ton of value still.

PLUS, Scotty & Matt run through players they're overlooking in drafts. Is there some bias and actually value there? Stay tuned.
Part 1 of a hell of a conversation with show favorite, Scotty Rauba. We sit down and just talk ball with rookies in 2020, does continuity actually matter at the level its preached, what is camp telling us, which gross players are you auto-not considering, and more. This one's one of the best in a while. Hope you enjoy.

Today we finish off our best values according to ADP per position , finishing with the Wide Receiver position. This one's a tough one as there are so many possible values. But in 2020, it's about nailing the right ones and cleaning up the others along the way. This show is just made to be instructive on the beginning of the position build. PLUS we talk about college football, the correlation between bad data and sports + more. Follow on IG @theleaguewinner for more

Today, we run through the quarterback position, what Corona means for us as fantasy players and gamblers, plus how to benefit from all the "turmoil" in your league this year. Part 1 of 4.
We're not correctly factoring in the current climate and it's bleeding into the fantasy football and gambling markets. What does that mean and how can we adjust? We talk about that, Matt Parmely's 3 favorite offseason bets from the last 2 weeks, and the most overrated and underrated players according to current ADP.
We're back folks and a lot of shit's happened. We try to be brief and zero in on one topic here there's a LOT going on in the NFL (thank god). Today, we dive deep into 5 non-obvious players that benefit the most from free agency and some chatter about the NFL draft, Jameis Winston paid like the NFL mailman, and more. Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @theleaguewinner for more.
So this was about to be the top 5 FA moves in relation to fantasy and you know what, this is even better. Will the nFL be back? Will sports be back? When? Why? Is Matt going to stop fucking ranting this year? Well, the only way is through... (audio was only in one ear, republished to fix, let's hope this did it for you!)
Started out this one expecting to do all positions, audibled (pun intended) and decided to just go in depth at QB. Today, we're back at it post super bowl breaking down The League Winner's top 3 QBs to watch this post season in relation to fantasy football, gambling, and team structure. This is not a Free Agency episode about Brady & Brees, we're going the next tier and focusing on what the national media and other podcasts may not be covering and how that translates to success in 2020 this fall.
We've finally made it... what a year, and to be able to end it the way we can here... with this matchup, is just perfect. Seth Sork joins Matt Parmely one more time to finish off the 2019-2020 season, for a chance to finish at 58% winners for both of them. They break down things a bit uniquely in this one, it's not your normal MTSW Gambling episode, and honestly, it's one of the best, most analytical episodes to date on TLW Podcast. We hope you enjoy, and we'll be back for more in 2 weeks. It doesn't stop here ;)
A nice solo pod special where Matt gives you his favorite prop bets (how you should be betting this game overall) for the Super Bowl with as Chiefs & 49ers square off. You're in for a treat and a sneak peak to what's to come in the gambling show later in the week. Picks start around the 25 minute mark ;)
We break down the Championship Sunday plays for the NFL playoffs and go beyond the spreads. You'll find 2+ props, 2 totals, and both spreads in this one. Let it ride fellas, don't overthink this week, and we cover just that in depth in this episode.
Digging into the Championship week, we break down what happened last week and what we can take from it.

Follow us on IG/Twitter @theleaguewinner for more.
Seth Sork and Matt Parmely are back, covering all 4 games, and they feel so confident this week, they took a side in all of them. This isn't normally the case, as it's important to pick your spots. But it's a week to double down and get one more big ROI. We've got a lot of good stuff for you in this one. Each game's in chronological order but the crew mentions confidence level at each. This is a long one, but stay tuned to the end, Matt's got a derivative bet that is possibly the best bet on a controversial game. We'll see you in the black next week!
We learned a lot last week, and to be honest, we're overcompensating what we think we learned too. We're breaking down things that matter and things that don't from week 1 of the NFL playoffs. We'll also use that info, look at the current matchup's lines, and discuss each game for the Divisional Round from a betting perspective. You need to bet these liners early, and we'll explain why and where to go.
Seth Sork & Matt Parmely break down the best plays for Wildcard weekend and walk through each game. You'll get their initial takes, leans, bets, props, and official picks for the best time of the year: the playoffs. Seth also settles up a nice season long bet and we learn a bit more about this New Orleans team...Do they have what it takes to run the table? All we all wanted for Christmas was a Saints Super Bowl...
This is a special week, we have to pay attention to juiced up lines and consider motivation actually may not matter statistically. Picking the right spots this week is crucial and Seth Sork joins us to talk through those for Week 17. Seth Sork, coming off a 5-0 week, and Matt Parmely 4-2 + 60% ATS picks last 30 days, we have a hell of a wave to ride. The final big slate is here and we're going to bring you some coin once again.
Merry MF Christmas everybody, hope you had a fantastic week 16 and won some Fantasy Football Championships. Regardless of that though, we've officially turned the corner and its timed to get out EARLY at week 17 to make the most expensive week of the year a little bit easier on the pocketbook. We're coming off a 60% ATS month and Matt went 4-2 last week (4-0-1 week prior). But Seth Sork CLEANED the slate by going 5-0. There's a lot of moving parts this week with teams and this show covers everything you need to pay attention to for another profitable week.
Seth Sork joins us in a bit late of a podcast (sorry), but its jam packed. And SINCE it's a day later with Saturday games pending, we've time stamped them for you. We do have one Saturday game we like and you'll see when it starts below. Coming off a slate clearing week, we look to keep it going, 55%+ on the year. We'll see you in the black. SF/LAR: 45 min in. The rest, you'll have to see ;)
This week we have an actual matchup (yes Scotty & I are playing for lots of hundreds) and it's a good one. Talk about full circle, Scotty was the first guest on this show and both of our hits were direct targets it seems like. Beyond the rivalry, we give you the best breakdown of fantasy and NFL matchups at the skill position level you're going to find on these players for your championship (or 3rd place matchup) this week. Let us know what you think on Twitter @theleaguewinner or on Instagram @theleaguewinner
Whether you made it or not, this is a big week. We're talking about what you need to take from last week to adjust this week and win your league. HINT: not a TON, because you shouldn't get cute--not now. But there is a lot to consider from Sunday & Monday Night and you'll get a unique outlook here, first.
Seth Sork joins us once again as we take on the book on the final Sunday/Monday only slate. Next week-on should be fun with a nice Saturday fold to play with. Until then, we have our favorite week of the year when considering lines. It should be a fun one as Seth & Matt have been hot lately. More to come... and just remember, which hole you want this week? We're plugging it.
The Semis have arrived, and we turned it up a notch because of it. Don't be afraid to take a calculated risk this week and no matter what, make the start/sit choice you can live with above all else. We're here to help you do that... See you in the ship.
