We wrapped up this week on BangTheBook Radio as only we know how. Host Adam Burke talked about his Week 17 SuperContest picks as he looks to finish the season on a high note. The first eight weeks were brutal at 10-25-5, but the last eight weeks have been excellent at 27-12-1. We'll see where Week 17 falls, but it has certainly been a learning experience in the NFL. Joe Everett kicked in some of his thoughts again this week as Adam ran through three games that will be picks on the card and a set of four leans that will round out the five NFL betting picks. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report. The guys recapped some past sharp action that they already discussed on the show and then moved into some new college football sharp action. Week 17 in the NFL is where we are seeing a lot of sharp action, as the guys had seven sides and totals to chat about on the program. Are you confused by this week's NFL card? See where the long-term winners are getting down.

Two professional handicappers joined host Adam Burke as he got you ready for a busy weekend in the sports world on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio. The first guest was Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com, who is having a phenomenal football season. The guys touched on the Music City Bowl, Camping World Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Arizona Bowl, Peach Bowl, Belk Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Military Bowl, Sun Bowl, Redbox Bowl, Liberty Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Gator Bowl, Outback Bowl, Citrus Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. They also took a rapid look at Week 17 in the NFL to see what Brad's plans are for this crazy week. Tony George from Doc's Sports was up next and the guys hit on the Liberty Bowl between Missouri and Oklahoma State and also talked about the Orange Bowl and the Cotton Bowl with Oklahoma vs. Alabama and Notre Dame vs. Clemson. They took a deeper dive into Week 17 of the NFL with some betting tips and suggestions on how to handle this challenging week.

We're back to bring you a new edition of BangTheBook Radio this holiday season. Host Adam Burke started it off with Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com to chat about the college football bowl games this week. The guys looked at the three games coming up on Thursday with the Independence Bowl between Duke and Temple, the Pinstripe Bowl between Miami and Wisconsin, and the Texas Bowl between Vanderbilt and Baylor. They also took a look at Week 17 in the NFL to discuss how to approach this week full of landmines with playoff scenarios, teams resting guys, and teams playing out the string. Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us to share his thoughts on Week 17 in the NFL. It is such an interesting week for a variety of different reasons, as we have some teams favored that normally wouldn't be and teams lined as a bigger favorite because of what is on the line. The guys also took a look at the NBA, as we've passed the Christmas holiday, which some consider to be the unofficial start of the season. Will Wes be looking to play on the top contenders? Is he expecting a switch to flip? We talked about that and more to finish out today's show.

We didn't want our BangTheBook Radio listeners to go until Wednesday without hearing host Adam Burke, so he and Kyle Hunter got together on Sunday afternoon and put together a Festivus/Christmas Eve edition of everybody's favorite sports betting podcast. The guys talked for just under an hour about seven bowl games - the First Responder Bowl between Boston College and Boise State, the Quick Lane Bowl between Minnesota and Georgia Tech, the Cheez-It Bowl between TCU and Cal, the Independence Bowl between Duke and Temple, the Pinstripe Bowl between Miami and Wisconsin, the Texas Bowl between Vanderbilt and Baylor, and the Music City Bowl between Purdue and Auburn. They also talked about the current state of affairs in college basketball, as conference play starts this week for a lot of teams and it will be important to take some precautions as you're looking at these matchups. They also looked at a couple of regression candidates and several games and situational spots for Saturday and Sunday so that you can bang the books in college hoops.

We closed our what has been a strong week on BangTheBook Radio with our two regular Friday segments. Host Adam Burke's BangTheBook Podcast entry is 24-10-1 over the last seven weeks and he's looking to ride that wave into Week 16. Joe Everett once again joined Adam to break down the card, as Adam shared seven games on his radar, including a couple of his favorite NFL betting picks of the weekend. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for another edition of The Odds Report. The guys recapped the sharp money we've seen so far and updated listeners on some new sharp money out there for the bowl games. They also talked about some interesting situations for next week with unannounced suspensions and other risk management concerns. NFL Week 16 has gotten a ton of sharp money on both sides and totals, so the guys hit on that and also looked at marquee games like Ravens vs. Chargers and Chiefs vs. Seahawks.

Two professional handicappers are on our Thursday editions of BangTheBook Radio and we really had a lot to talk about on this December 20 broadcast. Host Adam Burke started off the show with Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com and the guys talked about 10 bowl games and a couple of Week 16 NFL games on today's segment. The guys hit the Birmingham Bowl, Armed Forces Bowl, Dollar General Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, First Responder Bowl, Quick Lane Bowl, Cheez-It Bowl, Independence Bowl, Pinstripe Bowl, and Texas Bowl. They also hit Texans vs. Eagles and Steelers vs. Saints. Tony George is a professional handicapper over at Doc's Sports and he had some thoughts on the Sunday Night Football Chiefs vs. Seahawks matchup, as well as tonight's Texas Tech vs. Duke game and also Saturday's Kansas vs. Arizona State matchup. The guys also talked about the NBA around the holidays to see if the distractions matter in Tony's mind and also talk about the Christmas Day games to see if there is an edge with being at home or being away.

Two guests joined us on the Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio to share their insights across a variety of different sports betting markets. We started with professional handicapper Bryan Leonard of WagerTalk.com to provide insight on the Gasprilla Bowl between Marshall and South Florida, the Bahamas Bowl between FIU and Toledo, the Potato Bowl between BYU and Western Michigan, and also the Dollar General Bowl between Buffalo and Troy. The guys also talked a couple NFL games with Buccaneers vs. Cowboys and Vikings vs. Lions. Wes Reynolds also joined us on today's show, as the guys talked about Giants vs. Colts and Bears vs. 49ers to start things off in the NFL. We're less than a week away from Christmas now, so Adam and Wes talked about handicapping the NBA, NHL, and college basketball around the holidays to see if there are any additional edges to be had out there in the marketplace.

A great Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio came your way on December 18, as host Adam Burke hung out with two of our favorite guests. We started off the show with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline, to tap into Week 16 with thoughts and predictions on Ravens vs. Chargers, Bills vs. Patriots, and Texans vs. Eagles. The guys also took an extended look into the hockey world to discuss handicapping around the holiday break and what angles could be in play this week. Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com was back on the program this week to chat some college football and some NFL. Adam and Ralph hit the four bowl games coming up on Saturday to discuss the Birmingham Bowl, Armed Forces Bowl, the Dollar General Bowl, and the Hawaii Bowl. They also talked about college basketball this week, including a couple of plays from Ralph and what he's doing with home court advantage around the holidays.

Our Monday edition of BangTheBook Radio was about as cut and dry as it can get. Host Adam Burke had one guest for the duration of the show and that was professional handicapper Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com. The guys talked college football and college basketball as only they know how. For the College Football First Look portion of the show, the guys talked Boca Raton Bowl, Frisco Bowl, Gasparilla Bowl, Bahamas Bowl, and Potato Bowl, as they hit all of the weeknight games prior to the weekend. They talked about what we've seen so far and how it may impact the bowl season going forward. On the Handicapping the Hardwood college basketball side of things, the guys mentioned situational spots and also home court advantage around the holidays. They hit on some negative and positive regression candidates and then hit four intriguing games for this week that have good betting opportunities or interesting betting angles.

We wrapped up a fine week of BangTheBook Radio broadcasts with our last two segments of the week. Host Adam Burke gave his NFL Week 15 thoughts during the Westgate SuperContest segment. Joe Everett helped out once again this week, as Adam went through the card to discuss six games that are on his radar for the start of the Mini Contest and his continued efforts to get on the plus side with the BangTheBook Podcast entry. Adam had a good number of stats, trends, and betting angles for his six favorite sides. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report to hit on some college football bowl games that have sharp action and also the Week 15 NFL games drawing interest. The guys hit on a couple of Saturday's bowl games and also some for next week that have drawn sharp interest. They took a look at a lot of sharp action for Sunday's Week 15 games, including big favorites, underdogs, and totals.

A lot of football betting tips came your way on the Thursday December 13 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke chatted with professional handicappers Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com and Tony George from Doc's Sports to get some bowl betting thoughts, NFL predictions, and more. Brad opened up the show with Adam and the guys talked about all of the bowl games coming up between today's appearance and next week's appearance. The guys also took a look at Packers vs. Bears, Patriots vs. Steelers, and Saints vs. Panthers. Tony George from Doc's Sports joined us to share his betting thoughts on the bowl season and the things that he uses to make his picks. The guys talked about Saturday's Las Vegas Bowl between Arizona State and Fresno State. In the NFL, they looked at the card overall and then talked about the Chargers vs. Chiefs game tonight. Finally, they wrapped things up with a little college hoops talk, as Villanova faces Kansas on Saturday and a Little Brother vs. Big Brother between Northern Iowa vs. Iowa.

It was good to hear Bryan Leonard back on the program today as host Adam Burke welcomed back an old friend of the show after a couple-week hiatus. The guys talked about betting college football bowl games and also broke down some of the upcoming matchups, including the Las Vegas Bowl between Arizona State and Fresno State, the Camellia Bowl between Eastern Michigan and Georgia Southern, and the Boca Raton Bowl between Northern Illinois and UAB. On the NFL side, the guys hit Dolphins vs. Vikings and Cowboys vs. Colts. Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us to wrap up the segment with some thoughts on the college football bowl season and also the Packers vs. Bears and Eagles vs. Rams. The guys chatted about looking for derivative betting edges in the bowl games based on motivation and matchup and about how Wes has had so much success locking up profit by taking full-game and first half positions.

We changed things up a little bit on this Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke was still joined at the top of the show by Brian Blessing, but we brought back old friend Philip Rossman-Reich to chat a little NBA with us in the place of Ralph Michaels, who was unable to join the show today. Adam and Brian started by talking about the NFL, NHL, and the bowl season. On the NFL side, the guys hit the huge Thursday night Chargers vs. Chiefs game and also tackled Saturday's two games with Texans vs. Jets and Browns vs. Broncos. In the NHL, the guys talked about some important and savvy betting angles and also looked at other situational spots to consider. An overview of bowl season rounded out the segment. Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily is a great guest for the NBA and it was good to chat some pro hoops on today's show. The guys took a look at the Eastern Conference contenders in LeBron's absence and handicapping the field through the quarter point of the season. They also focused more on the surging Celtics and then talked about the South"least" Division. On the Western Conference side, they tried to diagnose what's wrong with the Rockets and also looked at the Mavericks, Clippers, and Grizzlies.

We're back to recap the weekend and look at the week ahead on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke welcomed Joe Everett to the program to start us off with the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview segment. The guys chatted about tonight's big Vikings vs. Seahawks game on MNF and took a look back at some Week 14 talking points. They hit on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, a tough loss for the Rams, the Raiders surprising the Steelers, and how the Panthers are having problems. The hybrid College Football First Look and Handicapping the Hardwood segment with Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com was chock full of great betting information today. The guys talked about some interesting bowl betting trends and some notable conference ATS trends for said bowl games. They also looked ahead to Saturday's first round of bowl games and gave quick picks and thoughts on the Cure Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Camellia Bowl, and New Orleans Bowl. On the college basketball side, the guys hit some year-to-date numbers, signs of regression, and a couple games on a very light CBB week.

We closed the door on another fine week of BangTheBook Radio broadcasts with our last two items of business for the week. Host Adam Burke employed the help of Joe Everett for this week's Westgate SuperContest Selections segment. Adam's BangTheBook Podcast entry failed to get over the hump last week with a 2-3 showing and sits at 28-31-6 on the season, but he had a lot of thoughts and betting advice on today's show with four picks and a set of leans. Brent, the head risk manager at DSI Sportsbook, joined us once again for The Odds Report, which is a favorite segment among our listeners. The guys talked about the action so far on the Army-Navy Game and also about how the process of managing risk goes when it comes to the bowl games. Adam and Brent also had a lot to discuss on the NFL side, as lines are dropping for popular, public teams this week. The Bills are in rare air this week and we also have some big situational spots to consider. Six games have had sharp action at DSI and those six sides and totals wrapped up this fine segment.

We've got a lot to talk about in the football betting world and we had one of the best in the business to help us out with that on our Thursday December 6 edition of BangTheBook Radio. That person was Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com and he joined host Adam Burke to chat about the Army vs. Navy game, the bowl game lines, and then a few NFL games for Week 14. It is Week 15 in college football, which means just the Army vs. Navy game. Brad gave us his thoughts on that matchup in Philadelphia. Then the guys touched on early bowl game thoughts, including some openers that Brad played, what some of the NFL Draft announcements should mean to the lines, and some bowl betting angles that are of great importance. They also hit the NFL to talk about tonight's Jaguars vs. Titans, Rams vs. Bears, Vikings vs. Seahawks, and about some general NFL betting tips for late-season games with varying motivation, playoff implications, and a lot of public perception influences in the lines.

The shenanigans of BlogTalkRadio can't stop us. We got yesterday's show done on Skype with Ralph Michaels and moved Brian Blessing back a day to get him on this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke talked some NFL and NHL with the savvy veteran handicapper, as the guys hit on what they intended to discuss on yesterday's program. The guys hit Ravens vs. Chiefs, Colts vs. Texans, and Patriots vs. Dolphins with a trio of NFL matchups and then also talked about how both the Capitals and Golden Knights will respond after Tuesday's emotional game, the hiring of Ken Hitchcock by the Oilers, and a betting angle you want to be aware of. Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us for this week's Wednesday Wagering segment. The guys did something a little different today. Wes relocated to Las Vegas recently, so the guys talked about the offshore climate vs. the Vegas climate when it comes to betting odds, using apps vs. websites, and how the odds are skewed and set a little bit differently between the two sets of sportsbooks.

Technical difficulties prevented us from having Brian Blessing on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio. He was on a tight schedule and BlogTalkRadio's BS forced him to miss out on today's appearance. In any event, we had a strong show with just one guest, as host Adam Burke talked with Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com about college football and college basketball. Pro handicapper Ralph Michaels had a lot of good insights for us on today's show. Adam and Ralph talked about the Army-Navy Game on Saturday and also took a look at some early bowl thoughts and betting angles. They talked about lines that stand out, motivation, home field advantage, and the rash of players skipping the bowl games to worry about the NFL. They also talked about college basketball and about an interesting spot for BYU that led into a chat about CBB rivalry games. They also talked about the Big Ten going back to non-conference and several other picks, previews, and trends.  

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Bowl season is finally here. That was a big talking point on the Monday December 3 edition of BangTheBook Radio, but not before we took a look at the NFL. Host Adam Burke started things off with Joe Everett of DraftScouts and Insider Football for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The guys previewed Redskins vs. Eagles on MNF and then recapped Week 13, including the firing of Mike McCarthy, the Jaguars stepping up, the Titans doing the same, the Cowboys vs. the Saints, and the Vikings running on empty. Kyle Hunter from HunterSportsPicks.com joined us for the College Football First Look / Handicapping the Hardwood hybrid segment. The guys discussed Army vs. Navy and also the opening bowl lines, including some betting tips for these unique games. Spoiler alert: they talked about motivation. On the college hoops side, the guys talked about some betting angles regarding low cover rates to start the year and early conference games. They also looked at Northern Kentucky vs. Cincinnati, Washington vs. Gonzaga, and Saint Louis vs. Southern Illinois.

This week and this month on BangTheBook Radio came to a close with our two regular Friday segments. Host Adam Burke shared his picks, thoughts, stats, and other supporting evidence for Week 13 of the Westgate SuperContest during our SuperContest Selections segment. The BangTheBook Podcast entry is 16-8-1 over the last three weeks, so hopefully Adam can stay on the right track. He enlisted the help of Joe Everett to talk about the card and had four picks and three leans for consideration this week. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report to discuss sharp action for Week 14 of the college football season and Week 13 of the NFL season. The guys talked about those games, analyzed the market and the moves, and also talked about the process of setting and maintaining college football bowl game lines, which will start popping up on Sunday.

Hope you're ready for a lot of game breakdowns because that's what you get every Thursday on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke talked every FBS college game on the board this week with professional handicapper Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com. The guys hit the major games like Georgia vs. Alabama and Utah vs. Washington, but also hit the rescheduled games like East Carolina vs. NC State and Marshall vs. Virginia Tech. All 14 CFB games were covered and with a little more detail than usual with the smaller card. Tony George from Doc's Sports also joined us. We haven't had much NBA flare on the show, so Adam and Tony talked about tonight's two late games in the Association with thoughts on Clippers vs. Kings and Pacers vs. Lakers. The guys also dug into the college hoops side of things as Big Ten play starts this weekend. Tony gave his thoughts on the conference and how things change now with handicapping conference play. Finally, they hit Vikings vs. Patriots to round out the show with a little NFL insight.

We're going to throw you off for the week with this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. That's because usual Monday guest Kyle Hunter joined us on Wednesday this week instead. With host Adam Burke unable to do the show and Kyle under the weather anyway, we started a day later, but we're happy to be going full steam ahead now. Adam and Kyle took a look at four conference championship games, as they chatted about UAB vs. Middle Tennessee in the Conference USA Championship Game, Louisiana vs. Appalachian State for the Sun Belt Championship Game, Georgia vs. Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and Northwestern vs. Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. Wes Reynolds also joined us for this week's Wednesday Wagering segment. The guys talked about Colts vs. Jaguars and Chargers vs. Steelers. The guys also talked about the ACC vs. Big Ten Challenge results from last night and then looked at tonight's matchups, including North Carolina vs. Michigan and Purdue vs. Florida State.

We started our week on BangTheBook Radio just a little bit later this week. Brian Blessing was the leadoff hitter for host Adam Burke with today's Betting the Board segment. The guys took a look at Thursday's Saints vs. Cowboys game and then moved on to Bills vs. Dolphins and then took a college football look at the MAC Title Game between Northern Illinois and Buffalo. The guys also took a look at the landscape in the NHL with a big card tonight and a lot of interesting handicaps. Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com was next up on the show with some college football and college basketball thoughts. The guys dug into the college football side of the equation first by looking at Utah vs. Washington, Texas vs. Oklahoma, and Fresno State vs. Boise State. All of those are conference championship games. Then they talked about college basketball and the ACC vs. Big Ten Challenge. They also talked about where things currently stand and about how oddsmakers and sportsbooks are adjusting.

The show must go on, as they say, and that's what happened with this Friday November 23 edition of BangTheBook Radio. You got a steady dose of host Adam Burke on this show, as he talked about his picks and leans for Week 12 of the Westgate SuperContest during our SuperContest Selections segment. The BangTheBook Podcast entry has been running a bit better over the last few weeks, so hopefully the information that Adam shared is beneficial for all of our listeners. He had four picks and a couple of leans squared away for Week 12 and gave his supporting evidence, research, and analysis. With Brent from DSI unable to join us on the show, Adam did his own version of The Odds Report. He talked about line moves in the marketplace that appeared to be sharp based on the context clues in the markets and the timing of the moves. He told listeners what cues to look for in the betting world to see if line moves were likely based on sharp action and then keyed in on those games for Week 13 in college football and Week 12 in the NFL.

We have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, especially the listeners and the guests of the BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke enlisted the help of Brad Powers bright and early on Turkey Day to take a look at 21 college football games for the Week 13 slate and a couple of NFL games for Week 12. Some spotty internet issues for the host were noticeable, so we apologize, but Brad came across great. That is definitely a lot of college football games, but this is one of the most loaded schedules of the season. The guys touched on games with division and conference implications like Houston vs. Memphis, Oklahoma vs. West Virginia, Marshall vs. FIU, and Utah State vs. Boise State, but they also looked big time rivalry games like Washington vs. Washington State, South Carolina vs. Clemson, Michigan vs. Ohio State, Auburn vs. Alabama, and Arizona State vs. Arizona. They also hit bowl berth games like Texas Tech vs. Baylor and Purdue vs. Indiana. We covered a lot, but you deserve a lot of coverage. Over on the NFL side, the guys covered Seahawks vs. Panthers and also Steelers vs. Broncos to wrap up the program with a little bit of pro flare.

We're getting closer to the Thanksgiving holiday and we had a cornucopia of great betting thoughts on the Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke chatted with professional handicapper Bryan Leonard about two games in the NFL and three games in college football to start us off. The guys touched on the Thanksgiving games with thoughts on Bears vs. Lions, Redskins vs. Cowboys, and Falcons vs. Saints. On the college side, the guys touched on Buffalo vs. Bowling Green, Florida vs. Florida State, and Nevada vs. UNLV. Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us to chat about handicapping around the holidays with big cards in the NHL and NBA on Wednesday and Friday. We also have a whole bunch of college basketball to worry about. The guys talked about holiday handicapping in a personal sense and also a professional sense, as they touched on how to bet on the games and how to expect the athletes themselves to react.

A whole lot of different betting topics and markets were discussed on this Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio with two very smart and savvy handicapping minds. Host Adam Burke started off the program with Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline. The guys chatted about Jaguars vs. Bills and Browns vs. Bengals on the NFL side. They also took a look at this holiday week in the NHL with a busy schedule for the majority of the league's teams. How do those situational spots factor in? They also talked about Tiger vs. Phil and the showdown in Las Vegas on Friday at Shadow Creek Golf Course in the $9 million match. Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com joined us for some college basketball and college football betting tips and predictions. The guys talked about the challenges of neutral-site tournaments and the lack of rest that teams will face. They also touched on early adjustments and developments that have caught Ralph's attention so far. On the college football side, the guys talked about rivalry games and if they require a different handicap. They hit Colorado State vs. Air Force, Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss, and Oklahoma vs. West Virginia and Ralph's top technical and situational plays.

Another week of BangTheBook Radio began with our two regular Monday segments. Host Adam Burke started things off with Joe Everett of DraftScouts and Insider Football for our NFL Week in Review and Monday Night Football Preview. Chiefs vs. Rams is about as good as it gets for a Monday Nighter and the guys had a lot of fun discussing that one. On the review side, they chatted about Daaaaa Bears, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, the loss of Alex Smith for the Redskins, and how the Packers need to shake things up. Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joined us for the hybrid Week 13 College Football First Look and Handicapping the Hardwood segment. The guys started in college football with some talking points about Hate Week. Rivalry games are on the menu and the guys hit on handicapping tips for those. Does revenge matter more? How should we handle big lines? Do power ratings matter? Been there, done that a factor? On the college hoops side, the guys talked about handicapping neutral-site tournaments and some pace changes that should fly under the radar for a little while.

Friday shows are always a treat because we have two of our cornerstone segments. Host Adam Burke gave out his picks and thoughts for Week 11 of the Westgate SuperContest and we got a sharp money college football and NFL betting odds update from Brent at DSI Sportsbook. Adam's BangTheBook Podcast entry is on an upswing right now, so hopefully he can keep it going with his Week 11 selections. Adam talked about four picks that are on his card so far and discussed a couple of leans. He and Wes Reynolds attempted to predict the top-five consensus and shared additional NFL betting tips. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for The Odds Report. Six games on the college side and six games on the NFL side were discussed as the guys ran through some marquee matchups like Cincinnati vs. UCF and Syracuse vs. Notre Dame, as well as Vikings vs. Bears and Chiefs vs. Rams.

Lots of picks, predictions, and expert analysis. That's the short summary of what we had to offer on the Thursday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke talked first with Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com on this week's college football card, as the guys hit 17 games for Week 12. Games ranged from Virginia vs. Georgia Tech to Texas Tech vs. Kansas State to Ohio State vs. Maryland to Syracuse vs. Notre Dame to Iowa State vs. Texas and even on down to UNLV vs. Hawaii and Colgate vs. Army. You never want to miss a segment with Brad and especially not this one. Tony George had to cancel late, so host Adam Burke improvised and covered what was originally set to be discussed. He hit on Michigan State vs. Nebraska and also West Virginia vs. Oklahoma State on the college side and then discussed Broncos vs. Chargers and also Chiefs vs. Rams, as that game has been moved to Los Angeles.

A busy broadcast came your way on Wednesday, as host Adam Burke hit up five sports betting markets with two esteemed guests. Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com joined us to chat some NFL and some college football on this November 14 segment. The guys hit on Panthers vs. Lions, Cowboys vs. Falcons, and Texans vs. Redskins on the NFL side with betting tips and market analysis on the betting odds. They also talked college football with a look at tonight's Miami of Ohio vs. Northern Illinois game and also Bowling Green vs. Akron on Saturday. Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us to chat some NBA, college basketball, and golf, as we fulfilled our goal of talking about five different betting markets. The NBA season is now in full swing with about a month's worth of games, so Adam and Wes talked about what we've seen so far and about betting approaches to the primetime cable TV games. The guys also talked about early-season college basketball perceptions and how to take advantage of those in the market. Then they hit the RSM Classic at Sea Island for this weekend's golf event.

Tuesday editions of BangTheBook Radio are overflowing with information because we cover a wide variety of sports betting markets with two very experienced bettors. Host Adam Burke started the show with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline. The guys chatted about Packers vs. Seahawks and Steelers vs. Jaguars on the NFL side and then moved on to college basketball, as we got Brian's tips for how to narrow down the card. The RSM Classic is this week's golf event and the last one before most players take a break, so the guys hit that event and some of Brian's picks. Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com joined us to chat college basketball and college football on today's show. Adam and Ralph continued yesterday's discussion with Kyle Hunter about bankroll management. They also talked about making early-season adjustments and studying box scores. They hit on some of Ralph's top games for this week and some interesting matchups before switching over to college football. The guys talked about West Virginia vs. Oklahoma State and also Arizona State vs. Oregon. Ralph added his free picks for his top situational and top technical plays of the week.

The sweet sounds of host Adam Burke can only mean one thing - it's time to start another week of BangTheBook Radio shows. On this Monday November 12 edition, we chatted with Joe Everett of DraftScouts and Insider Football to preview the Giants vs. 49ers matchup on Monday Night Football and recap what we saw in Week 10. The guys talked about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the scrappy Buffalo Bills, the slumping Cincinnati Bengals, and the lively Indianapolis Colts. On a hybrid Handicapping the Hardwood / College Football Week 12 First Look segment, Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joined us. Adam and Kyle talked college basketball home court advantage, bankroll management techniques for CBB, and then the key numbers in college basketball that you want to know and follow. Then they switched over to the college football side to talk about late-season betting angles and a couple of teams in line for some regression. They also hit Buffalo vs. Ohio, FAU vs. North Texas, and then rolled through the Pick Six segment with free picks and analysis.

Another week of BangTheBook Radio is in the books. Host Adam Burke wrapped it up with our two usual Friday segments. He took center stage for the Westgate SuperContest Selections segment and shared his top picks for Week 10 of the NFL season for the BangTheBook Podcast entry.
