Host Ricky Sacks is joined by co-host Billie and Henry Winter, who is one of the most recognisable names in sports media, who been writing on football for 35 years. He has held titles of Sports Journalists' Association and Football Supporters' Association Football Writer of the Year on numerous occasions is now also co-host of the superb Football Boardroom Podcast alongside ex-Liverpool/Chelsea/Villa executive Christian Purslow. We get a journalist perspective of what Henry is making of Tottenham's fall at a time in which Spurs are considering their options for a second change of manager in a month after three defeats in Igor Tudor's first three matches in charge. As things stand, the club say Tudor will take the team for the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. We discuss with Henry if Tudor's under merely a stay of execution, and if they was to sack the Croatian where they could turn to with the limited options available at this time. It's understood that after the game on Thursday night against Crystal Palace, and still in kit, the Tottenham players held an impromptu discussion in the changing room. There was talk of facing up to the gravity of the situation and taking more personal responsibility for performances. We discuss with Henry whether these players can dig us out of the mess we are in and stop the Club from being relegated. We also dissect whether The Lewis Family are in it for the long-haul at Spurs and what the future's look like for CEO Vinai Venkatesham and Sporting Director Johan Lange. We finally close on the importance of Spurs being in the Premier League and if the unthinkable was to happen, the consequences of that event.

Real Madrid missed the chance to go five points clear as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Osasuna, their first league loss under Alvaro Arbeloa in six games. We look at an encouraging display from Trent Alexander-Arnold off the bench, Vinicius Jr's continued scoring run, and whether the defending champions can respond after surrendering top spot. Barcelona took full advantage, returning to the top with a convincing 3-0 win over Levante. We discuss Frenkie de Jong's first goal in 13 months and what this means for the title race with just 13 games to go. Atletico Madrid bounced back from their recent poor run with a 4-2 win over Espanyol. Ademola Lookman continued his flying start with four goals in six games. We ask if this can be the springboard for a consistent run from Diego Simeone's side. Join The Players Lounge: The official fantasy football club of The Rest Is Football.

Griffin Warner talk betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returned to break down a packed Tuesday card featuring Champions League second leg matchups and a deep slate of college basketball, while also unveiling a significant promotional offer. The European focus begins with Atletico Madrid hosting Club Bruges after a dramatic 3 3 draw in Belgium. Atletico, now one and a quarter goal favorites at home, surrendered both a 2 0 and 3 2 lead in the first leg. Bruges, who covered plus one and a half previously, showed resilience with several quality attacking moments and a late equalizer. With aggregate scoring determining advancement and extra time looming if tied, Warner prefers holding Bruges plus one and a quarter, anticipating a potentially conservative Atletico approach if they secure a lead. The to advance price heavily favors Atletico, yet Warner does not dismiss Bruges entirely. Inter Milan face a steeper challenge, trailing 3 1 on aggregate to Norwegian side Butuglimpt. Inter are two goal favorites in Milan and minus 1.30 to advance despite the deficit. Road goals no longer matter, increasing the likelihood of extra time if Inter win by two. Warner expects Butuglimpt to defend but remain opportunistic on counters, suggesting plus two and the under three and three quarters could offer value in a controlled match where Inter must press but may struggle to run away. Bayer Leverkusen return home with a 2 0 advantage over Olympiakos after scoring twice in quick succession in Athens. Leverkusen are three quarter goal favorites, yet Warner sees intrigue in Olympiakos if forced to attack. The total sits at three shaded under, but given both sides' scoring tendencies he leans toward over three at plus money, even though Leverkusen are overwhelming favorites to advance. Newcastle's tie appears effectively decided after a dominant first leg against an Azerbaijani opponent, with the English side laying two and a half goals. Warner notes lineup dependent volatility and suggests monitoring numbers shortly before kickoff. Shifting to college basketball, Washington laying five at Rutgers raises red flags due to travel and Rutgers' home setting. Dayton catching five at home against St. Louis stands out given the Flyers' environment despite SLU's strong resume. Notre Dame plus seventeen against top ranked Duke is described as a hold your nose spot, while Georgetown as a short home favorite versus Marquette fits Warner's preferred range for laying points. He questions Virginia's rating against NC State, highlights Cincinnati plus six at Texas Tech after a key injury to JT Toppin, and evaluates West Virginia at Oklahoma State in a Big 12 bubble battle. Oklahoma plus two at home against Auburn becomes the featured play, with Warner expressing skepticism toward short road favorites in critical bubble scenarios. Additional notes include intrigue with Florida State as a home underdog to Miami, Arizona State catching points at TCU, and Nevada at pickem hosting New Mexico. The promotional code West25 offers 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com through March 2, including season long access packages, marking the largest discount he has provided on the platform. The official best bet closes the show with Oklahoma plus two on the home floor in Norman against Auburn. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner returned to the Pregame.com podcast network and the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a compact Thursday card, looking to build on a college basketball win with Tulane on February 11 and push for a second straight result. The slate featured a single English Premier League match, a Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, and a lighter than usual college basketball board, before closing with a best bet and promotional offer. The lone Premier League fixture sends Arsenal across London to face Brentford, with the visitors installed as three quarter goal favorites on the road. Arsenal sit atop the league conversation after consecutive second place finishes in recent seasons and are navigating domestic and European commitments, including the Premier League title race, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup, and an upcoming FA Cup tie. Manager Miguel Arteta has been reluctant to rotate heavily, and squad depth has been tested amid a crowded schedule. Brentford, meanwhile, have been strong at home, earning notable results against bigger sides and benefiting from not competing in Europe. The total is set at two and a half shaded to the over, reflecting Brentford's scoring ability against an Arsenal side that typically controls possession and limits shots. Arsenal generate significant production from set pieces, while Brentford employ a similar approach with long throws and structured restarts. Warner indicated interest in Brentford plus three quarters of a goal, preferring to wait for a potential move to plus one as public support flows toward the league leaders. In Spain, Barcelona visit Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. The two leg format places added emphasis on home performance, with the return match set for Barcelona. Atletico are slight home underdogs at a quarter goal, while Barcelona are favored to advance at minus 252 compared with Atletico at plus 209. The total sits at three and a quarter shaded to the over, consistent with Barcelona's attacking profile and defensive vulnerabilities. Atletico have long projected as a third place side in Spain, guided by an experienced manager and bolstered by increased spending that has shifted them toward a more offensive identity. Warner noted that a strong first leg result is critical for Atletico given the difficulty of the return trip, and expressed measured interest in the home underdog while acknowledging the market respect shown toward Barcelona. The college basketball schedule opens with Kennesaw State hosting Middle Tennessee State, followed by Missouri Valley Conference action including Charleston laying a point to Hofstra and Southern Illinois favored by 12 over Evansville ahead of Arch Madness. Memphis at North Texas stands out as the marquee matchup, with Memphis a one point road favorite and a total of 136.5. North Texas sits outside the current American Conference tournament picture and would benefit significantly from a home win. Memphis have shown recent improvement with victories over UAB and FAU but have been inconsistent and thinner on talent. North Texas, under new leadership after Ross Hodge departed for West Virginia, continue to lean on defense and a deliberate pace. Warner expects tempo control from the home side in what profiles as a grind. Additional matchups include Oregon State catching eight and a half at San Francisco, Belmont laying five to Northern Iowa after Bradley's overtime win, and a series of Big West contests featuring Hawaii, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, and others. The episode concluded with a promotional code, Jumper20, valid for 20 percent off purchases at Pregame.com through February 23, and a best bet on under 136.5 in Memphis at North Texas, anticipating a low scoring contest dictated by the Mean Green.
