ICE Kicks Puppies. DHS Black Site Prisons. JD Vance is Garbage. A New Boat Strike. 17.5 Veteran Suicides Per Day. Super Bowl Picks and Bets, Ice Fishing, Chloe Kim Rocks Olympics. Trump is all gas, no brakes on this Super Bowl Friday—from posting a racist video from the White House depicting the Obama's as apes and escalating his war on the press, to unleashing ICE's culture of cruelty with gassed protesters, kicked‑in doors, kicked puppies and plans for giant warehouse‑style detention centers that could function as domestic black sites. In this all‑new episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff welcomes back the iconic Rachel Maddow for a sharp, extended, urgent and surprisingly hopeful breakdown of what she calls a “mad king” moment—and why the real work now is taking away Trump's tools of power, from the Justice Department and ICE to the Pentagon and the Insurrection Act. Rachel rarely does podcasts, but she does this one hosted by her old friend. They chop it up on how authoritarians depend on institutional cowardice and public exhaustion, and why disciplined, non‑violent, mass resistance and strategic shaming still work—even against a president who seems beyond embarrassment. They highlight ICE's evolving archipelago of dark sites, Congress finally “getting up on its hind legs” with a “don't obey illegal orders” push, and the catastrophic failure of imagination that could come if Americans don't prepare now for an Insurrection Act deployment to crush future protests. It's not all darkness: Rachel gets personal and takes us to her ice‑fishing happy place in Western Massachusetts and explains why chasing pike through thigh‑deep snow is her metaphor for stubborn joy and resistance, while Paul salutes Chloe Kim's Olympic patriotism and life with a Jets‑fan kid. They close with a Super Bowl Football Friday segment—debating Patriots–Seahawks, Drake May's jitters and Sam Darnold's late bloom—and a cross‑jersey bet that will leave either Paul in Pats gear or Rachel in Seahawks colors. It's a fierce and fun way to end a crazy week and prep properly for the Super Bowl. -WATCH video of this episode on YouTube now. -Listen to Burn Order, Rachel's latest amazing podcast. -Be sure to watch the documentary Rachel referenced as Something Good: Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback. -Check this out.

Matthew Stafford takes home MVP in a razor-thin finish over Drake May, sparking a deep dive into how close the race really was and why Stafford's late-career surge keeps getting louder. That leads straight into a relitigation of last year's Giants argument: should the Giants have pushed in for Stafford when the rumors were flying, or is landing Jaxson Dart and resetting the franchise timeline the better path? From there, the NFL Honors recap turns into a comedy of confusion, including awkward announcing moments and the kind of “how did this happen?” production decisions that leave everyone staring at each other. The segment wraps with callers and a classic debate about judging Hall of Fame players across eras, plus a reminder that you cannot just box-score your way through football history.
A trivia brawl to start, a chess match to finish. We kick off with a fast, penalty-happy Super Bowl quiz that forces us to relive the moments that define February football—record throws in losses, special-teams heroics, blackout delays, and the painful beauty of split-second decisions. After crowning a champion, we pivot hard into a grounded preview of Patriots vs Seahawks, and the conversation quickly narrows to where big games are actually won: ball security, field position, and which quarterback blinks first when the pocket turns claustrophobic.We dig into Drake May's evolution—how he can win ugly with his legs, then flip a game with one fearless deep shot—and where his risk profile still lives, especially with blindside pressure and late holds. On the other side, we map the exact path for Sam Darnold to finish a redemption arc: early rhythm throws, trust in JSN's detail, and a commitment to take the profitable gains rather than chase hero-ball. Seattle's top scoring defense is built to punish loose football, while New England's defense disguises well enough to bait a rushed read and steal a drive. It's less about fireworks and more about who survives third downs, protects the pocket edge, and makes the smarter fourth-quarter choice.We also wrestle with Tom Brady's public neutrality. Is it brand strategy, competitive ego, or simply a clean break from the past? The debate opens a bigger question about what cements a legend: is it titles alone, or the sense that a city knows you? We land in a nuanced place—Ortiz as heartbeat, Bird as cultural backbone, Brady as the ultimate executor—and admit that the banners speak louder than any quote.Predictions are tight and respectful, reflecting a game that feels like a grind rather than a coronation. If you love tactical football, this one's for you. Listen, then tell us your winning path: who controls turnovers and who hits the one deep shot that flips the script?

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Super Bowl week pleading for the rarest gift in sports: a wire-to-wire Seahawks blowout with zero anxiety attached. Instead, they confront history, betting lines, and the uncomfortable reality that Seahawks–Patriots games almost never come easy, dissecting spreads, totals, MVP odds, and prop bets surrounding Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, and the Seattle defense. ESPN insiders Mike Reiss and Brady Henderson join Mitch to trace the improbable parallel journeys of the Patriots and Seahawks from offseason uncertainty to Super Bowl 60. Reiss details how Mike Vrabel reshaped New England's culture around connection and accountability, while Henderson explains why Mike Macdonald's Seahawks are thriving on trust, depth, and collective buy-in rather than star power. The discussion zeroes in on Drake May's health, New England's offensive line vulnerabilities, Seattle's defensive front, and why the Seahawks are favored — while acknowledging that Patriots fans view this matchup as dangerous, not nostalgic. Mitch and Jason Puckett wrestle with the strangest part of Super Bowl 60 week: the complete absence of a believable reason the Seahawks should lose. They debate conspiracy theories, historical heartbreak, and why this matchup feels more like a gift than a grind, with comparisons to past Seattle sports collapses adding a layer of unease. Mitch reconnects with Dave Grosby to reflect on a defining week in Seattle sports history, Grosby's decades-long presence behind the microphone, and his upcoming honor from the American Parkinson Disease Association at the March 14 Magic of Hope Gala. Grosby shares a candid, deeply personal look at living with Parkinson's, the lack of a cure despite years of advocacy and fundraising led by figures like Michael J. Fox, and why continued research is critical. Peter King joins Mitch to unpack the shock of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, offering rare insight into how Hall of Fame voting dynamics, strategic ballots, and a flawed system can produce surprising outcomes. The conversation shifts to Super Bowl 49 memories, lingering fallout inside the Seahawks locker room, and why the Seahawks–Patriots rematch echoes past championship blind spots where favorites felt inevitable — until they weren't.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday January 30th. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler closed out the final week of January with a wide ranging betting discussion that blended NBA analysis, early Super Bowl angles, and a review of recent results. The show opened with a recap of Thursday night's NBA slate, where prior handicaps largely held up. A Pistons Suns under cashed despite a fast first half, aided by a slow fourth quarter once Phoenix built a commanding lead. Minnesota's outright win over Oklahoma City and Miami's narrow victory over Chicago also aligned with expectations, while the lone frustration came from Dallas, where a high scoring Hornets Mavericks game spoiled an under despite a favorable closing number. The conversation highlighted how game flow and late quarter dynamics can ultimately decide totals regardless of early pace. Attention then shifted to Friday's NBA card, beginning with Portland visiting New York. Both hosts focused on situational factors, including Portland's injuries, the end of an East Coast trip, and the Knicks' upcoming matchup with the Lakers. While New York has been strong as a home favorite, Essler emphasized Portland's improved recent defense and the likelihood of a controlled tempo, particularly if Robert Williams were to play. The consensus leaned toward the under, with both suggesting a scenario where New York pulls ahead and manages minutes late. The second featured matchup was Toronto at Orlando, where the low total drew immediate attention. Orlando's recent defensive struggles contrasted with Toronto's consistency, especially on the road. Despite the Magic playing without Franz Wagner, Essler viewed the total as over adjusted, while Manji focused on a Raptors bounce back spot after a lopsided loss to New York. That led to support for Toronto on the money line and a Raptors team total over, based on Orlando's declining defensive efficiency. The show also briefly touched on the rest of the Friday schedule, noting interest in Cavaliers Suns, Clippers Nuggets, and a high variance Nets Jazz matchup, as well as the Lakers Wizards game, which later became Manji's best bet over due to both teams' defensive issues and pace considerations. NFL discussion followed, starting with prop bets tied to Super Bowl 60. Essler recommended Marcus Jones over tackles and assists, citing his role near the line of scrimmage and consistent usage in recent playoff games. Manji countered with a combined sacks over, pointing to pressure tendencies from both defenses and the likelihood of disrupted quarterback play. Speculation about minor injuries to Drake May was dismissed as noise, with both agreeing that any serious concern would already be reflected in the market. The episode concluded with best bets, Essler backing a scoring over for George in a favorable matchup, and Manji riding another Lakers over. The tone remained analytical but pragmatic, reinforcing the idea that value comes from understanding context, market movement, and how games are likely to unfold rather than simply chasing headlines or narratives.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price conducted a live one QB PPR startup draft with Nerd Herd members, revealing stark strategy differences from superflex formats. Rich secured Bijan Robinson at 1.02, while Garrett grabbed De'Von Achane at 1.06, and Matt made an experimental pick taking Brock Bowers at 1.10 despite later regretting the decision. The draft showcased dramatically different positional value compared to superflex formats. Drake May went in the second round, but most quarterbacks fell significantly later. Rich won the quarterback chicken game, waiting until round 10 to take Dak Prescott while quality options like C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, and Jared Goff remained available. He emphasized cycling through veteran quarterbacks in one QB formats rather than investing premium picks. Matt's Bowers pick sparked debate about tight end strategy. He admitted afterward he would pivot to CeeDee Lamb if redrafting, noting Tucker Kraft went in the fifth round with similar per-game production. Rich doubled down on tight ends, taking Kyle Pitts and Dalton Kincaid back-to-back, betting on elite upside at the position. The hosts agreed this represents the deepest young tight end class in dynasty history, making waiting on the position more viable than ever before. Explore more tools and resources to stay ahead of your league.
This episode takes a big picture look at the NFL by asking one of the hardest questions in sports: what actually makes a franchise good? Using data from the last 30 years, the group breaks down playoff appearances, Super Bowl wins, and draft positioning to evaluate which organizations are consistently successful and which ones fall short. Rather than turning it into a trivia contest, the discussion stays conversational as the guys debate whether teams should be ranked or simply labeled as good or bad organizations.The conversation then shifts to a full Super Bowl preview between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, with Jay taking a victory lap for predicting the matchup before the playoffs even started. The group analyzes how the Patriots reached the Super Bowl as underdogs, the impact of Bo Nix's injury in the AFC Championship, and whether Drake May's clutch play can overcome a dominant Seahawks defense.Injuries and strategy play a major role throughout the episode. The crew critiques late game coaching decisions, including a costly fourth down call, and dives into the details of Bo Nix's broken ankle, discussing how injury predispositions and lower body stability can affect quarterbacks long term.The Broncos season review highlights how far the team exceeded expectations with a second year quarterback while still lacking elite offensive weapons. The Patriots season is also evaluated with skepticism around whether their offense can consistently perform against top defenses.The Seahawks get a deep dive as well, with discussion around Geno Smith's rise, key roster additions, and John Schneider's long standing success as a general manager. The group debates early dynasty talk and pushes back on the idea that one Super Bowl appearance automatically signals long term dominance.The episode closes with a broader NFL franchise success analysis, identifying the Patriots, Chiefs, and Ravens as the best run organizations over the past three decades, while discussing why teams like the Cowboys struggle in the postseason despite regular season success. Coaching changes, including Mike McCarthy's move to the Steelers, and Hall of Fame voting controversy surrounding Bill Belichick round out the conversation.If you enjoy NFL history, franchise rankings, Super Bowl previews, team building philosophy, and long term organizational analysis, this episode delivers a thoughtful and data driven look at what separates winners from everyone else.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday Jan 27th. Tuesday's Cash That Ticket podcast focused heavily on the NBA betting board while continuing an early buildup toward Super Bowl prop markets. Coming off a winning best bet on the Lakers Bulls over, the discussion opened with a detailed recap of recent results and quickly shifted to current league news that could impact pricing and market movement. The most significant update involved Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is expected to miss four to six weeks with a calf sprain suffered before halftime of his most recent appearance. The injury was framed as another setback for a Milwaukee team already derailed by Damian Lillard's Achilles injury last season, with the belief that any Giannis trade discussions are more likely to materialize in the offseason rather than at the deadline, when value would be harder to maximize. Attention then turned to Drew Holiday, with reporting that the Knicks are exploring trade avenues. His two way impact, playoff experience, and ability to stabilize an offense were cited as reasons he could elevate a contender, particularly New York, by easing the nightly burden on Jalen Brunson while anchoring perimeter defense. The episode also reviewed Monday's slate, including Atlanta's home win over Indiana, Charlotte's lopsided victory against Philadelphia, Cleveland's defensive minded win over Orlando, Minnesota's dominant performance against a Steph Curry less Golden State, and Houston's win over Memphis behind Alperen Sengun. Kevin Durant's January production for Houston drew special praise, noting his heavy minutes, consistent scoring, and efficiency across shooting splits, reinforcing his importance to the Rockets' playoff push. Updated standings showed Detroit leading the East with a sizable cushion, while Oklahoma City maintained control of the West. From a betting perspective, Knicks Kings was highlighted as a strong spot for New York's offense, particularly the team total, given Sacramento's poor defensive metrics. Pistons Nuggets was analyzed through an injury lens, with Denver missing multiple starters including Nikola Jokic, leading to an under recommendation based on pace, rest, and Detroit's elite recent defense. Clippers Jazz hinged on Kawhi Leonard's status, with James Harden positioned for increased usage if Leonard sits against a depleted Utah defense. The Super Bowl segment introduced an early prop angle on Patriots quarterback Drake May, targeting his rushing yards over, based on prior playoff usage and similar quarterback production against Seattle's defense. The show closed with a featured NBA prop on Jalen Brunson points and assists, banking on a healthy return and a favorable matchup against the Kings. Learn more about your ad choices.

Great NFL Playoff Games, Wild Takes & REAL Talk! | Bubba Dub Breaks It ALL Down
In this episode of Infamously Speaking, Matt and Quan break down a wild NFL Divisional Round weekend and look ahead to Championship Sunday — starting with a dominant Patriots performance that has the league talking. Is New England winning with grit, defense, and culture rather than MVP-level quarterback play? And what does this run say about Drake May, the Patriots' defense, and their long-term future?The conversation shifts to Houston and CJ Stroud, separating box-score criticism from on-field reality. Was Stroud really the problem, or did protection, injuries, and elite defense tell the real story? From there, the guys dive into Buffalo's collapse — questionable decisions, blown opportunities, overtime failures, and the fallout that led to major coaching and front-office drama. What went wrong with the Bills, and has their Super Bowl window quietly closed?On the NFC side, Matt and Quan react to Bears vs. Rams, Caleb Williams' growth under Ben Johnson, and whether Chicago's breakout season is the start of something real or a missed opportunity. They also preview Rams vs. Seahawks, debating elite defenses, quarterback trust, and why postseason football often exposes uncomfortable truths.As always, the episode goes beyond the scoreboard — touching on leadership, culture, accountability, and what it really takes to build a winning organization in high-pressure environments.Think critically. Speak infamously.
Football Playoffs, Luke Combs, Bruce Springsteen, Greenland. Winter Storm Fern is Coming. Don Lemon, Tiktok, Paris Hilton, AOC, Stars And Stripes in the Cross Hairs. Winter Storm Fern is coming—but so is Willie Geist. In this special Football Friday episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff welcomes back one of the show's very first guests and one of the most trusted voices in American media: MS NOW Morning Joe co-anchor and Sunday Today host Willie Geist. Together they unpack a blizzard of news and sports, from Trump's escalating ICE raids and the horrific detention of five-year-old Liam Ramos to the killing of Renee Goode and what this all reveals about power, abuse and basic decency in America right now. They go below the radar on Trump's mounting assault on the free press—DOJ's failed move against Don Lemon, the targeting of outlets like Stars and Stripes, and what it's like to do Morning Joe in a country where the president openly weaponizes the government against media critics. Willie explains why this is exactly the time to lean in, not check out, and why he still sees his work as a public service rooted in gratitude, fatherhood and deep support for veterans. And because it's Football Friday, they also break down NFL Championship Sunday—Patriots–Broncos, Seahawks–Rams, Drake May's poise vs. Matt Stafford's firepower—plus Giants, Harbaugh, Skattebo, the Yankees, Don Mattingly and why live sports and music (from Luke Combs to Springsteen in Newark) still bring divided Americans together. If you're furious about ICE, worried about democracy, but still love football, snow days and a little hope in the storm, this is your episode.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for this weekend. Munaf Manji opened the Friday, January 23rd episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview by setting the stage for a packed betting discussion heading into the weekend, with Championship Sunday, NFL coaching news, NBA analysis, promotions, and best bets all on the agenda. Dave Essler joined him still frustrated from the previous night's loss tied to Franz Wagner being ruled out late, which caused a sharp line move and turned what looked like a favorable position into a loss from the opening tip. Munaf revisited that game, noting how Charlotte's strong record on the second leg of back to backs was mentioned but ultimately ignored, a decision both agreed was a learning moment. Dave emphasized that no bettor hits one hundred percent and that losses must be studied rather than dismissed. The conversation shifted to NFL news with Munaf breaking down the Baltimore Ravens hiring Jesse Minter as head coach on a five year deal, highlighting his defensive success with the Chargers and his prior time in Baltimore. Dave admitted surprise that the Ravens went defense first, stressing that the offense, particularly Lamar Jackson's durability and passing limitations, remains the bigger question and will hinge on the offensive coordinator hire. Early Ravens win total speculation followed, with ten and a half discussed before schedule context softened some concerns. Attention then turned to Patriots versus Broncos props, where Munaf floated Jared Stidham over 32.5 pass attempts, reasoning New England would force him to throw. Dave countered with Drake May unders if backing the Patriots and strongly endorsed Pat Bryant over 2.5 receptions despite heavy juice, citing Denver's likely pass heavy script and Bryant's role before his prior concussion. Injury notes on Troy Franklin reinforced value on secondary Denver receivers, with both hosts recalling how Bryant's early catches last week were erased by injury. For the NFC matchup, Munaf backed Sam Darnold to throw an interception based on repeated struggles against the Rams and defensive familiarity. Dave added Matthew Stafford under 36.5 yards for longest completion, pointing to Seattle's recent success eliminating explosive plays, while also discussing long shot props like Davante Adams to lead receiving yards. Munaf countered with Stafford passing yard trends in Seattle and suggested live betting opportunities if the Rams trailed, along with Cooper Kupp over 30.5 yards. The show moved into NBA, starting with Rockets versus Pistons, where Munaf highlighted Houston's poor performance on road back to backs, recent defensive collapses, and Detroit's elite defensive rating of 100.1 over the last ten games. Cade Cunningham's status was key, with value tied directly to his availability. Dave warned about rapid line movement tied to injury news and leaned toward Pistons team total overs or split half strategies. Raptors versus Blazers followed, with both noting improved defenses, Portland's back to back trends, and a shared preference for the under. Best bets closed the episode with Dave backing Rutgers as a home underdog against Indiana, citing matchup and motivation, while Munaf laid points with the Phoenix Suns based on their league best ATS record and defensive form, and added Celtics team total over 112.5 against a struggling Nets defense. The episode ended with updated news of Cade Cunningham participating in shootaround, reinforcing earlier Pistons angles, and reminders about discipline, injury monitoring, and adaptability heading into the weekend slate.

Send us a textIn this episode of Game For All Seasons, the crew dives headfirst into one of the most polarizing debates in sports right now:NFL Coaching Hot Takes:The crew tackles the James Harrison controversy surrounding Mike Tomlin's coaching legacy. Harrison questioned Tomlin's Hall of Fame credentials, stating he "doesn't make players" and lacks a coaching tree. The hosts debate whether this is legitimate criticism or just hate, with Coach E defending Tomlin's impressive record and noting the systemic challenges facing Black coaches in developing coaching trees.Playoff Analysis:The team breaks down the shocking firing of Sean McDermott by the Buffalo Bills after a 98-50 record and eight playoff appearances. Despite Josh Allen's four turnovers (two interceptions and two fumbles) in their divisional loss to Denver, the coaches question whether McDermott was scapegoated for the quarterback's poor performance.Championship Sunday Preview:Looking ahead to the conference championships, the crew discusses the AFC matchup between Denver and New England.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. The Cash That Ticket Podcast returned Thursday, January 22, 2026, with Munaf Manji and Dave Essler breaking down Championship Sunday through a betting focused lens, centering on the Patriots at Broncos AFC title game and the Rams at Seahawks NFC matchup. The discussion opened with confidence after recent winning best bets, before turning to league news, including Atlanta hiring Kevin Stefanski as head coach. Manji noted the potential narrative value around Baker Mayfield facing his former coach, while Essler questioned whether Stefanski's résumé truly signals Super Bowl upside, framing Atlanta as a likely middle tier team rather than a contender. Attention then shifted to the AFC Championship, where New England entered Denver as a road favorite. Essler emphasized removing fandom bias and focused on matchup details, noting Jared Stidham as a capable backup and highlighting Denver's late season defensive regression, penalty issues, and fragile turnover margin. He leaned toward the Patriots team total over, citing market movement and New England's growing offensive confidence, while acknowledging Denver's situational strengths at home. Manji countered with concerns about New England's reliance on field position and turnovers in earlier playoff rounds, suggesting a tighter, lower scoring game and cautioning against assuming an easy cover. Both agreed the outcome largely hinges on quarterback Drake May, with Essler stressing turnovers as the clearest path to a Patriots loss in May's first road playoff start. Manji explored derivative angles including a Broncos first quarter wager and debated May's rushing prop, pointing to Denver's pressure rate and recent quarterback rushing success against them. The NFC Championship discussion framed Seattle as potentially overvalued after a dominant prior round, while Essler argued the Rams were undervalued, citing Matthew Stafford's success against Seattle and Sean McVay's historical effectiveness versus Mike Macdonald defenses. Both expected scoring opportunities, with Essler favoring a first half over and Manji highlighting Sam Darnold interception trends against the Rams, noting prior turnover issues in the season series. Player props, including Jackson Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp usage, were discussed as game flow dependent opportunities. The episode concluded with best bets, Essler backing a Wisconsin Penn State college basketball under based on home defensive splits, and Manji laying points with Orlando against Charlotte, citing rest and depth advantages. Throughout the show, the focus remained on situational edges, market value, and disciplined analysis, reinforcing a transparent, process driven approach heading into one of the NFL's biggest weekends.

Welcome Back to the Gridiron: Hips, Heists, and the King in the North Tarlin Ray is officially back on the other side of major surgery. Seven days after a total hip replacement, he moved from a walker to a cane, and now he is trading the PT exercises for the hottest NFL takes of the 2026 postseason. In this episode of Running It Back, Mike Palmer and Tarlin Ray dive deep into the divisional round, debating the "That's My Quarterback" draft and dissecting the chaotic coaching carousel currently spinning out of control. From the "no asshole policy" in front offices to whether Sam Darnold is a reclamation project or a playoff ghost, the guys look past the box scores to find the real stories. They discuss why Tennessee might be the most attractive job in the league and whether Caleb Williams is the future of Chicago or a fantasy football headache. Plus, Tarlin shares the humbling reality of relying on caregivers and why it took him ten days to finally get in the shower. Get ready for sharp analysis, a little modern medicine appreciation, and a lot of intellectual honesty. That's My Quarterback! NFL Divisional Playoffs Mike and Tarlin kick things off with the "Ethics Bowl" QB Draft where Tarlin bets on the cajones of CJ Stroud while Mike counters with the "twinkle toes" and scampering ability of Drake May. They move to the "King in the North" matchup, debating if Josh Allen is still America's man-crush or if Bo Nix is ready to fly high at Mile High. The conversation shifts to the Rams and Bears as they weigh the veteran poise of Matthew Stafford against the rising Gen Z energy of Caleb Williams. Finally, they wrap up the games by looking at Sam Darnold's history of "seeing ghosts" versus the underdog story of Brock Purdy, the 262nd pick in the draft. Coaching Carousel The second half of the show tackles the coaching carousel, starting with the massive $20 million culture-building hire of John Harbaugh by the New York Giants. They explore the end of the Mike Tomlin era in Pittsburgh and whether the Rooney family might make a bold statement by hiring Brian Flores. They also analyze the curious case of Mike McDaniel, who looks less like a biology teacher and more like a character from Breaking Bad these days. The episode concludes with professional lessons on when to take the CEO jump and when to stay in "grooming" mode, using the career moves of Ben Johnson and Dante Moore as a guide.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL betting for this week. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler opened their latest Cash That Ticket podcast with a transparent look at recent betting results before turning full attention to the NFL divisional round. The discussion centered on sides, totals, and selective props for all four matchups, with an emphasis on situational factors, injuries, and market movement rather than hype. Early in the show, the conversation briefly shifted to league news, including the reported hiring of John Harbaugh as head coach of the New York Giants, a move both viewed as immediately changing the balance of the NFC East. Essler noted the Giants' foundation and timing, while Manji suggested division futures would be worth monitoring once markets opened. The focus then moved decisively to Saturday's games, beginning with Buffalo at Denver. Essler leaned toward the Broncos at home, citing defensive strength, altitude concerns, revenge from last season's playoff loss, and Buffalo's depleted receiving corps. Manji countered by backing Josh Allen plus the points, arguing the game would hinge on late execution and defensive pressure on Bo Nix. Both agreed the under was the preferred total, expecting a slower, run influenced game with limited explosive plays. The Saturday night matchup between Seattle and San Francisco produced a sharper divide. Essler backed the Seahawks minus the number, pointing to San Francisco's tendency to lose by margin, travel fatigue, and Seattle's defensive consistency. Manji took the points with the 49ers, citing divisional familiarity, coaching adjustments, and the likelihood of another low scoring contest, making the under his strongest angle. Sunday's slate opened with Houston at New England, a game framed around quarterback contrast and offensive reliability. Essler outlined scenarios where the Patriots could falter but ultimately trusted Drake May's mobility, coaching preparation, and Houston's limited weapons. Manji agreed, projecting a Patriots win and an under, while acknowledging the Texans would need another defense driven performance to advance. The final game featured the Rams at the Bears, where both saw Chicago's momentum and resilience as undervalued. Essler questioned why Los Angeles was favored given recent defensive breakdowns and travel demands, while Manji highlighted Caleb Williams' late game composure and Chicago's balanced offense. Both leaned toward the Bears plus the points, with Manji also endorsing the Bears team total over as his top play. The episode closed with best bets, as Essler selected Florida Atlantic in college basketball and Manji locked in Chicago's offensive production, reinforcing a weekend approach built on discipline, matchup analysis, and market awareness rather than narrative.

After a weekend of playoff football, Evan and Tiki hit the harshest reality for Jets fans. The Patriots look sharp, Drake May is already being talked about like a future MVP, and Josh Allen is still standing in the AFC. The question becomes brutally simple: can the Jets realistically find a quarterback who can go toe to toe with those two in the division? The guys rip into the gap between the Jets and the best coached playoff teams, debate Aaron Glenn's future, and react to a perfectly timed shot from an Amazon Prime pregame clip that sums up the Jets' current reputation. Then the punchline arrives: the Jets announce a futures deal with Bailey Zappe, turning the whole situation into peak “are we being trolled?” energy. It's Jets despair, league wide trolling, and the uncomfortable truth that nothing changes until the Jets start winning.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football action and much more. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 16 Sunday action, beginning with Sunday Night Football, where the Patriots erased a double-digit deficit to defeat the Ravens 28-24. Lamar Jackson exited at halftime with a back injury, forcing Tyler Huntley into action, while Derrick Henry dominated early but surprisingly stopped receiving touches late. A missed pass interference call on New England did not derail Drake May, who threw for over 380 yards, including a highlight touchdown to Kyle Williams, as the Patriots scored 15 unanswered points capped by a Rhamondre Stevenson rushing score and a game-sealing Zay Flowers fumble. The loss likely ends Baltimore's playoff hopes and sparks discussion about John Harbaugh's future, Lamar Jackson's durability, and the Steelers' path to clinching the division, with praise given to Mike Tomlin's sustained success. The conversation then shifts to awards, with Matthew Stafford emerging as the MVP favorite over Drake May and Mike Vrabel leading the Coach of the Year market.

Eagles versus Bills is debated, with Buffalo trusted more long term than Philadelphia. Attention turns to Monday Night Football, where both hosts like the 49ers on the road against the Colts and lean under the total due to Indianapolis' limited offense with Philip Rivers and a slower game script. Jonathan Taylor usage and George Kittle props are discussed, with Kittle's receiving yards favored due to matchup trends.

The 2025 football season is shaping up to be a compelling saga of triumph and unprecedented milestones, particularly within the New England Patriots organization, which has successfully navigated the complexities of a post-Brady era. Their current standing as the number one seed in the American Football Conference is a testament to their resilience and strategic prowess, driven by the remarkable performances of second-year quarterback Drake May. With an impressive 3,412 passing yards and 23 touchdowns under his belt, May's emergence as a leading figure in the league symbolizes a transformative period for the Patriots, who are redefining their identity on the field.Furthermore, the landscape of rushing statistics has also undergone a significant transformation this season.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend betting action and much more. The guys also discuss the MNF game. The Week 13 Weekend Rewind show opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers reacting to a wild Sunday night game where Denver beat Washington 27–26 in overtime despite constant swings, flags, and late chaos. They credit Marcus Mariota for filling in effectively, though rookie Jaden Daniels is expected back next week. Both agree Washington's two-point try was obvious given their season situation. They note Denver stays atop the AFC West at 10–2 while the Commanders fall despite fighting hard. Mackenzie expects fatigue effects next week because both teams played high-volume offensive snaps. Survivor carnage dominates the middle of the show: Thanksgiving wiped out over 850 entries as every underdog won (Packers over Lions, Cowboys over Chiefs, Bengals over Ravens, Bears over Eagles). They discuss hedging strategy, noting a six-way tie in the Grandissimo contest paid each over $1M. By Sunday only 45 entries remained with one more pending Monday night. Biggest downgrades: Vikings after J.J. McCarthy's disastrous 4-INT outing amid confusion over concussion protocol; Chiefs fall from 5.5-point favorites to 3.5 vs Houston as the market finally stops giving them elite benefit of the doubt; Rams downgraded after losing outright as double-digit favorites to Carolina; Lions downgraded partly due to Goff's slide and Amon-Ra St. Brown's injury. Upgrades: Cowboys after back-to-back wins over Eagles and Chiefs; Jets with Tyrod Taylor playing efficiently and running for the winning TD; Bears dominating the Eagles on the ground and maybe becoming legitimate NFC North contenders; Bengals with Burrow healthy again; Texans improving behind CJ Stroud, rookie receivers, and a defense that continues to outperform expectations. They analyze division markets: AFC South tight among Colts, Jaguars, Texans; NFC East still Eagles-favored but Cowboys lurking; NFC North wide open with Chicago rising. They move to Monday Night Football: Patriots (10–2) vs Giants (2–10). Drake May is surging in MVP odds, and New England has won nine straight with strong defense and Travion Henderson emerging as their lead back. The Giants are better ATS than straight up on the road but struggle to finish games. Munaf likes Henderson's rushing yards over given New York's awful run defense (6.2 YPC allowed, 219 given to Gibbs last week). Mackenzie prefers Drake May under 245.5 passing yards, predicting Vrabel leans on the run. They mention Jackson Dart returning for New York and expect high pass attempts if they fall behind. They wrap with NBA chatter: whether the Thunder can break the 73-win record; Mackenzie predicts around 70–12. They close discussing the 49ers' strong defensive form, Purdy's connection with Kittle, and optimism for San Francisco's division race before signing off with promo codes and reminders for upcoming pods.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action for Week 12 and preview MNF 49ers at Panthers. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NFL Week 12, starting with the Rams' dominant win over the Buccaneers and the early 21-0 surge built by Matthew Stafford, whose MVP odds jumped as Baker Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury; they note the Rams' rise as Super Bowl favorites and discuss how New England's coaching and Drake May's progress have shifted expectations, while the Buccaneers' divisional outlook hinges on Mayfield's MRI; Survivor results showed minimal carnage with most players advancing but big picks resting on the 49ers Monday night; downgrades hit the Raiders after firing OC Chip Kelly, the Vikings after J.J. McCarthy struggles, and the Saints after more offensive issues, while Mack criticizes Minnesota's QB choice by comparing McCarthy's historically poor EPA to JaMarcus Russell; upgrades include a major market move on the Bengals with Joe Burrow's expected return despite their lost season, plus rising confidence in the Texans behind an elite defense and the Colts' solid metrics; the Cardinals get a slight bump while Tampa projects a bigger drop when Mayfield's injury is priced in; they preview 49ers-Panthers, discussing San Francisco's healthier offense with Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle, and Pearsall, noting defensive injuries but expecting the Niners to roll against a Panthers team with inflated results and limited passing production from Bryce Young, though Carolina's Ted McMillan stands out as a key weapon; they outline prop angles including Young's passing overs and Kittle's receiving overs, and evaluate paths for a Panthers upset that mostly require an offensive explosion against a depleted SF defense; they also highlight Rico Dowdle's emergence, Young's likely high attempts, and the Niners' efficiency edge; the hosts touch on Dallas' comeback over Philadelphia, concerns about the Eagles' struggling run game, Hurts' limitations on third down, and why Munaf prefers the Rams over the Eagles in the NFC; they close with best bets—Mack taking Cowboys +3.5 on Thanksgiving due to the Chiefs' overtime-to-short-week ATS trend, Munaf laying 49ers -7.5 on Monday night expecting turnovers and a comfortable SF win, and Mack calling an exact 42-20 Niners score—then wrap with notes on Survivor hopes, Thanksgiving content, and a beard-themed sign-off.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 12. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera break down NFL Week 12 Survivor strategy, MVP odds, team power ratings, and future-week planning. Mack opens by noting major movement in MVP markets, especially Matthew Stafford rising against Drake May, and argues Stafford should be the favorite due to team strength, narrative, and veteran status. Dan emphasizes that betting awards requires thinking like the media, and the Patriots' soft schedule hurts May's candidacy. They discuss power-rating models showing the Rams as the top team, the Chiefs second, and surprisingly the Texans third due to strong underlying metrics despite a .500 record. Shifting to Survivor, they highlight Seattle as the top Week 12 option versus the Titans: Tennessee grades as bottom-tier across analytic systems, has one of the league's worst offenses, and relies on Cam Ward, whose turnover tendencies create multiple paths for a Seahawks win. They compare alternative Seattle usage weeks but conclude Week 12 is optimal even assigning pessimistic turnover scenarios. They cover other big favorites: the Lions (whose home splits and Jekyll-and-Hyde Jared Goff profile point to a strong bounce-back vs the Giants), the Ravens (concerns around Lamar's health, short-week turnaround, and potential Joe Burrow return in Week 13), the Packers (Jordan Love inconsistency, injuries to Josh Jacobs/Tucker Kraft, and JJ McCarthy volatility), the Rams vs Bucs (Rams may “screw around,” Bucs too injured and erratic), and the 49ers (better held for Week 15 vs Tennessee after a bye). They repeatedly stress that late-season future value is more important than raw win probability. They examine Week 13 Thanksgiving lines: Lions over Packers, Chiefs over Cowboys, Ravens over Bengals, and Eagles over Bengals (depending on Burrow's readiness). They warn that using the Ravens in Week 13 is riskier than the market implies, given divisional familiarity and Baltimore's offensive stagnation. They touch briefly on off-the-wall options like the Bears, Saints, Jaguars, and Patriots but generally dismiss them due to fluky profiles or better future deployment. Dan notes the Saints may become viable in Weeks 16–17 when they face the Jets or Titans. Ultimately both hosts circle back to Seattle as the cleanest Week 12 Survivor pick, citing matchup, quarterback disparity, and Tennessee's inability to generate offense without extreme turnover luck.

On this episode of Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will, the guys bulldoze through another wild week on the gridiron. They break down Texas A&M's insane 27-point comeback on South Carolina and what it revealed about Mike Elko's team, then dive into the latest College Football Playoff drama: why Miami sits behind Notre Dame despite beating them head-to-head, and whether the ACC is there for the taking with James Franklin now at Virginia Tech and Dave Doeren feeling very “end of an era” at NC State.They also hit Fernando Mendoza's surging Heisman case, fire off a fresh round of Sports Stat nuggets (from SEC history to Josh Allen's alien performance and Matthew Stafford vs the blitz), and detour into a fun 3-on-3 Robin Williams movie draft. In the NFL corner, Yarbs & Will wrestle with what Bryce Young's record-setting day vs the Falcons really means, rant about officiating accountability in “Get Off My Lawn,” question the Drake May coronation tour, talk Shador Sanders' tough debut, wonder if Justin Fields is officially done, and admit—even while complaining—they still watch every single international NFL game at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday.

JT says the Patriots' 27–14 win over the Jets is the final proof New England is officially back — and Buffalo officially blew their window. He argues the Patriots flipped their entire future overnight by hiring Mike Vrabel, spending real money, and landing Drake May, while the Bills wasted five straight years being conservative, missing on first-round picks, and clinging to aging veterans like Von Miller. JT calls the Bills' roster mismanaged, overpaid, and stuck with no cap space, while New England is younger, cheaper, more aggressive, and already better despite still having holes. He says the Patriots are built to take big swings next offseason — the same swings Buffalo was too scared to take — and that Drake May looks like the guy who will eventually knock off Patrick Mahomes. In JT's eyes, the Bills are done as contenders, the Patriots are the new top dog in the AFC East, and New England will win a Super Bowl before Josh Allen ever gets close.
Steak and Sandra talk about the hot start of the season by the Patriots and Drake May. The Patriots handled Justin Fields and the Jets Thursday, and both quarterbacks contrast greatly, but how does Falcons' quarterback Michael Penix Jr stack up to them both?

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year's success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May's solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders' poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver's elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina's porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers' quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina's ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson's historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson's breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns' passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco's chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland's passing attack matches well against Cincinnati's suspect defense and that Flacco's recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week's most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing. For fans and bettors alike, it offers a blend of strategy, insight, and practical plays to launch the NFL season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
