Podcasts about Dark Horses

It's the last stop before real football. Jacob and Daniel put a bow on preseason predictions with their full 12-team College Football Playoff brackets, going seed by seed through who gets in and who they have winning the national championship. They review their conference champion picks, share their best bets on win totals, reveal their dark horses and bold predictions including top 10 teams that will finish unranked and unranked teams that will crack the top 10. They hand out their Heisman, Nagurski, and Coach of the Year awards before doing a week by week game draft to highlight the best matchups to watch all season. And to close things out, Jacob runs through his first annual top 15 uniform wardrobes in college football. Next time they talk ball, it's real games.Pick Games with Us: https://cfbpickem-sooty.vercel.app/ Invite Code: 2AB906D3Follow Daniel on X: https://x.com/DeepSouthDanielFollow Jacob on X: https://x.com/jacobkarnesSubscribe to The Extra Point on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCalGwyunlQPiiEfiAiZPx9QFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theextrapointpod/Follow and Subscribe to The Extra Point on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.Website: theextrapointpod.comChapters:00:05 2026 Season Preview and Predictions Overview04:24 CFP Picks17:07 Best Win Total Bets for 202622:45 Dark Horses and False Dawns28:08 Heisman, Nagurski, & Coach of the Year33:38 Week-by-Week Game Draft47:02 Top 15 Uniform Wardrobes in College Football

Conference preview season wraps up with the big one. Jacob and Daniel dig into the SEC, starting with the burning question: can the conference get back to winning national championships after three years without one? They break down the new nine game SEC schedule and what it means for the playoff picture, then go team by team through the top storylines before hitting over/unders on all 16 teams. They debate the gap between the SEC's tier one and the Big Ten's, discuss which teams are playoff caliber, and argue about who has the best shot at knocking off Georgia. Plus: a preview of the national preview episode coming next week, where they'll make their full playoff picks, Heisman, coach of the year, and more.Pick Games with Us: https://cfbpickem-sooty.vercel.app/ Invite Code: 2AB906D3Follow Daniel on X: https://x.com/DeepSouthDanielFollow Jacob on X: https://x.com/jacobkarnesSubscribe to The Extra Point on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCalGwyunlQPiiEfiAiZPx9QFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theextrapointpod/Follow and Subscribe to The Extra Point on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.Website: theextrapointpod.comChapters:00:05 SEC Preview02:08 Can the SEC win it all?09:55 Georgia21:20 Texas29:42 Ole Miss48:05 Oklahoma54:22 Alabama01:02:46 Texas A&M01:09:29 SEC Win Totals01:19:37 SEC Championship Picks

In this college football podcast episode, we take one final deep breath after our marathon run of 2026 conference previews and turn the show over to the Verballerhood for our August Q&A. With the season finally within reach, we dig into the teams we find most interesting, the best dark horse candidates around the country, and one of the questions that could define the expanded College Football Playoff era: What would a convincing 9-3 playoff resume actually look like? We also zoom out on the changing power structure of college football. Was Lane Kiffin right to bet that a job like LSU still offers advantages that programs further down the traditional hierarchy simply cannot match? Has the transfer portal, money and increased player movement truly leveled the field, or have the old powers merely lost some of their margin for error? Plus, we compare a handful of the biggest coaching moves from the offseason, wonder what issue could become college football’s next great existential fight, and ask whether all that player movement could eventually take some heat out of the sport’s biggest rivalries. And because it’s a Q&A, things inevitably get weird. We debate the ideal school for a punter, investigate sports conspiracies, build a college football soundtrack out of movie scores, evaluate SEC stadium bucket lists and learn that Dan has apparently developed a neighborhood reputation as an illicit dealer of highly coveted pizza cheese.

Xabi Alonso has two unsolved problems going into the season — goalkeeper and central midfield — and Chris and Joe work through why neither gets fixed by the transfer business done so far. Robert Sanchez versus Mike Penders gets a proper airing, Tosin Adarabioyo's continued involvement baffles them both, and outgoings (Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto, Pedro Neto, Nicolas Jackson, and more) are weighed against incomings. Then the dark horses question: with pundits tipping Chelsea for a top-four finish or better, where do they actually land? -- *Meet the Hosts* Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years. What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. *The 1905 Podcast* Chelsea FC Founded: 1905 European Champions: 19/05

Dynasty Running Back Rankings: The Top 12, Dark Horses, and Guys to Avoid Part two of the positional primer lands on the most volatile spot in fantasy football. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price lay out the consensus top 12 dynasty running backs and disagree hard on what any of them are actually worth in a trade.

My guest today is Gavin Baker, founding partner and CIO of Atreides Management. This is our seventh conversation, and just two months after Gavin's last appearance. It's about the gap between what the market is doing and what companies are seeing. It's been a tough month or so for public AI names, but there's no sign of a slowdown on the ground in Silicon Valley. We discuss the latest moves, contracted vs. spot GPU prices, the game theory of memory supply agreements, and why Claude has become the Walter Cronkite of the stock market. We close on SpaceX, orbital compute, and what Gavin sees as the single biggest risk to all of it. Please enjoy this conversation, from the famous table at Benchmark, with my friend Gavin Baker.

Jacob and Daniel turn their attention to the Big 12, the conference with the most parity in college football outside of Texas Tech. They kick things off with the top storylines heading into 2026, including the Will Hammond situation at Texas Tech, BYU's case as a legitimate national contender, what to expect from Oklahoma State in their rebuild year, Rich Rod at West Virginia, Utah's shot at a big season, and Kansas State quietly setting up for a special year. They also debate who the best quarterback in the Big 12 is before hitting over/unders on all 16 teams.

The 2026 NFL season is almost here, and it's time to look beyond the obvious Super Bowl favorites. Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson and Derek Brown break down five legitimate dark horse Super Bowl contenders for 2026, including the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. Which teams are truly capable of making a deep playoff run, and which long-shot bets are worth considering? The guys also dive into the latest NFL training camp news and fantasy football fallout, including the Ricky Pearsall injury, what it means for Jauan Stribling and the 49ers offense, Chris Brazzell's injury in Carolina, concerns surrounding Jeremiah Love in Arizona, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s rough camp, Micah Parsons landing on the PUP list, Baker Mayfield playing without a contract and the latest on Tank Dell. Plus, the crew looks back at some of the greatest preseason “member berries” — players who exploded onto the scene during preseason and briefly convinced everyone they were the next big thing.

Seth Woolcock and Scott Bogman break down every major ACC betting market, including conference championship futures, season win totals, dark horse contenders, and Heisman long shots. They debate whether Miami is worth the heavy price, why SMU could be the conference's biggest challenger, and which teams they're fading heading into the 2026 college football season. They also reveal their favorite win total bets, including a fade of Bill Belichick's North Carolina Tar Heels, plus a surprising sleeper that could outperform expectations.

In this conversation, Phil Steele joins Bennett Conlin to break down James Madison University Football's 2026 outlook, from JC Evans and the revamped offense to a deep defensive front and one of the Sun Belt's most intriguing schedules. Steele explains why JMU Football's supporting cast could help JC Evans (or whoever QB1 is) thrive, why the Dukes' running back room looks built for Billy Napier's style and which portal additions could make an immediate impact. He also digs into the secondary, linebackers, and special teams, while sizing up the rest of the Sun Belt East and West. Beyond JMU Football, Steele shares his take on the Group of Six playoff race, highlighting teams like Navy, Boise State, Liberty, and App State, before offering his biggest national title contenders across the Power Four. If you want a sharp, data-driven preview of JMU's season and the broader college football landscape, this episode is packed with insight.

2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Draft Kit: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/draftkitFREE PROVE Running Back Board: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/proveEvery draft season, a guy nobody is talking about ends up as the overall QB1, RB1, WR1, or TE1, and the managers who saw him coming are the ones holding the trophy. So this year I broke down the dark horses at every position with the upside to finish number one overall in 2026.Some of these names will feel obvious. A few are going to sound insane, and those are the ones you want to stick around for. For every pick I go through the metrics and the situation changes, and exactly what has to happen for them to finish as the overall number one at their position.Last year I was the loudest person in the room on Drake Maye, Chase Brown, George Pickens, and Tucker Kraft before he got hurt. All dark horses at the time, all finished near the top of their position. This list is built the same way.Follow us on Instagram (200K followers): https://www.instagram.com/upperhandfantasy/

Which teams could shock the CFB world by making the CFP with the new expanded format?

In this episode, we begin our three-part Big 12 preview by taking a conference-wide look at the contenders, challengers and mystery teams shaping the 2026 season. Texas Tech enters as the defending champion and the clear center of attention, but does the conference’s best roster still have enough at quarterback and on defense to remain on top? We also examine why BYU feels like the safest alternative and whether Houston is ready to turn last year’s breakthrough into something even bigger. From there, we sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a crowded middle class that may be deeper than either of us expected. How much should Utah’s infrastructure matter after major changes on the sideline and along both lines of scrimmage? Can Arizona, TCU or Kansas State stay in the championship race? Are we falling too hard for Oklahoma State’s potential, and how much faith should we place in Kenny Dillingham as Arizona State faces the conference’s most difficult schedule? We also identify the players we are most interested in watching, debate several new quarterback situations and make our early Big 12 Championship Game predictions. Plus, the Monster Energy sponsorship inspires a shady monetization strategy, Willie Fritz becomes the world’s most dependable roofing contractor, and one verbal stumble launches a questionable new Cincinnati business venture.

On today's 15-minute briefing: The Pepe Mystery: Côte d'Ivoire secure a 2-0 win over Curaçao, lit up by a couple of absolute belters from Nicolas Pépé. Watching him strike them makes me wonder all over again: why on earth was he so poor during his time at Arsenal? Germany Stunned: Ecuador confirm their place in the Round of 32 with a thoroughly impressive 2-1 victory over Germany. This is exactly the kind of result that Scottish fans would have had a very keen eye on as the groups shake out. Dutch Dark Horses?: The Netherlands pick up a 3-1 win over Tunisia, featuring a lovely goal from Jan Paul van Hecke. It begs the question: are the Dutch quietly turning into genuine dark horses for this competition? Elanga's Math Blunder: A 1-1 draw sees both Japan and Sweden confirm their places in the next round. The funniest moment came from Anthony Elanga, who genuinely thought Sweden were knocked out at the whistle... spoiler alert, Anthony, they weren't! A Bump on the Nose for the USA: Turkey finally show the world what they are actually about, giving the USA a proper bump on the nose on their way out of the tournament with a 3-2 win. It's a timely reminder for Pochettino's men that they absolutely have to stay sharp if they want to go deep. Get In, Australia: A gritty 0-0 draw against Paraguay means the Aussies are officially through to the knockout stages! Well in. They've lined up a tie against Egypt next, which promises to be a cracking game. Norway's Bizarre Rotation: Norway, with qualification already secured, decided to rotate their entire starting eleven against France and got soundly beaten 4-1. I have to ask: isn't the entire point of being at a World Cup having the opportunity to flex your best lineup against one of the greatest sides on the planet? Baffling decision. Senegal Smash Iraq: Pape Gueye hit a couple of eye-catching screamers as Senegal gave themselves every chance of a best third-place berth, dismantling Iraq 5-0. I can confirm their progress was officially locked in a few hours later following the conclusion of the Group G fixtures. Cape Verde's Glamour Tie: A 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia means Cape Verde's absolute fairytale World Cup dream continues. They have lined up a massive glamour tie against Messi's Argentina in the Round of 32... and honestly, who knows? The way this tournament is going, maybe they could spring a monumental surprise. Bielsa in Meltdown: Spain navigate a tricky 1-0 match against Uruguay to top the group, a result that completely sent Marcelo Bielsa into absolute meltdown on the touchline. Belgium Finally Show Up: A comprehensive 5-1 routing of New Zealand sees the Belgians finally look like a football team, driven by an inspired, top-tier performance from Leandro Trossard. Injury Time Chaos for Iran: High, unadulterated drama between Egypt and Iran. Iran have more than likely secured their place in the Round of 32, but it was pure chaos at the death.
