We're going to have a little bit of everything on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio.

The guys will look at the conference as a whole and break down some of Saturday's matchups. Next up, Adam will chat a little bit about the MLB season win totals that we've seen posted at CG Technology in Las Vegas and offshore at 5Dimes Sportsbook. Adam will talk about some of his initial thoughts and the progress on his MLB season win total previews, with a good chunk of the AL East finished thus far. Finally, we'll wrap up with Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily on the NBA. Yesterday's Trade Deadline was certainly a busy one, especially for the Cavaliers. Philip recently saw the Cavs, so he'll give us some thoughts on how the players fit and we'll talk about some short-term and long-term impacts of the trades that we've seen recently.

A couple of familiar voices join us on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio, as we look to specialize in one college sports conference and then chat a little bit of NBA. Host Adam Burke will start things off with Alex Nicolas of Miner Rush, the SB Nation home of the UTEP Miners. There are a lot of things to discuss regarding Conference USA as we look ahead to the bowl season and dig into the college basketball season. We'll look at those bowl games featuring UAB, Middle Tennessee State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, North Texas, Marshall, Western Kentucky, Southern Miss, and Louisiana Tech. The guys will also take an introductory look at the college basketball side of things in the conference. Our next guest will be Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily, who also has bylines at national sites like The Step Back and Talking10, a Big Ten website. The guys will take a look around the NBA to talk about the home/road splits around the league with several teams under the spotlight. They'll also try to isolate some underachievers and overachievers by using the stats and some advanced metrics to determine teams to buy low and those to sell high.

We'll have a little bit of a change with this week's Thursday edition of BangTheBook Radio, but the show must always go on. Our first guest will still be Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com. He'll join host Adam Burke to chat college football and NFL games with some good stats, trends, and information to help you bang the books this weekend. They'll cover Wake Forest vs. Georgia Tech, UCF vs. Navy, Oklahoma State vs. Texas, and a whole lot more. On the NFL side, they'll chat Bengals vs. Steelers and Falcons vs. Patriots. Our second guest today will be Alex Nicolas of Miner Rush, the SB Nation blog for the UTEP Miners. We'll chat about Conference USA with him, as we look at Western Kentucky vs. Old Dominion and Marshall vs. Middle Tennessee State on Friday and also look at UAB vs. Charlotte, Southern Miss vs. Louisiana Tech, Rice vs. UTSA and the status of UTEP. Conference specialization can be a great betting angle and one that we will focus on with Alex today.

On our Tuesday August 22 edition of BangTheBook Radio, we'll hear from professional handicapper and bettor Bryan Leonard of WagerTalk.com for this week's Sports Wagering Talk segment.

They'll also talk about how to approach those teams going into the season. A quick look at the ACC will be an attempt to sort through the interchangeable Coastal Division. Finally, they'll look at Saturday's games with some quick thoughts and analysis. In the second half of today's show, we'll focus on our conference specialization theme by chatting with Alex Nicolas of Miner Rush, the SB Nation home of the UTEP Miners. UTEP is a member of Conference USA, so we'll dig deep into that Group of Five conference to find some betting value on those teams. One is in action on Saturday, as Rice battles Stanford, so we'll talk about that game and also teams like Western Kentucky, Marshall, Middle Tennessee State, and Louisiana Tech.

We're finishing off the week in style here on BangTheBook Radio.

With some time to fill in his own blanks, your host with the most took the spotlight to chat about some recent NHL developments and to also look at some of his thoughts for the upcoming College Football Playoff in 2018. Upcoming is a strong word, since it's about a year away, but it's never too early to start looking ahead. NHL picks and college football picks seemed like a decent way to wrap up the program for this week because it's all about the variety of topics we have and planning for the future.

We'll chat with Alex about home court advantages in C-USA, about the Thursday and Saturday slates of games for this week, and about what's going on with the UTEP Miners. Wes Reynolds wound up unable to join us on today's segment, so host Adam Burke filled in by talking about some NHL betting stuff and also touching on some important handicapping topics and philosophies. He also added a little bit of analysis at the tail end of the show with a couple of his thoughts for the SBS Tournament of Champions, the first PGA Tour event of 2017 featuring the 32 winners from the 2016 calendar year, including Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, and Dustin Johnson.
