RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk Preseason to NFL Week 1 best bets. The latest Dream Podcast episode, “PreSeasonPalooza, 15 Bets!!,” is a classic mix of sharp betting systems, insider debates, and off-the-rails humor, the kind of show that feels like sitting in a sportsbook bar where the conversation drifts from ATS systems to Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson. RJ Bell opens by reminding listeners about the special Pregame discounts and touting the records of handicappers like AJ Hoffman, Goodfella, and others, before pivoting into the heart of the show: an unusually strong batch of preseason Week 3 betting angles. McKenzie Rivers kicks things off with a light story about the Taste of Chicago festival, which leads RJ into a tangent about Stevie Wonder's 2008 performance and the eternal debate over Chicago deep dish pizza, the type of side story that illustrates how much the Dream Pod thrives on detail and memory. From there, the real substance begins. RJ emphasizes that this preseason slate may be the best group of plays he has seen, with twelve recommendations and five best bets, while McKenzie contributes three researched totals for Week 1, giving listeners over fifteen actionable wagers. McKenzie's primary research zeroes in on the effect of quarterbacks who do not play a single snap in the preseason. Since the NFL moved to a three-game preseason in 2021, those teams have gone 27–12 to the under in Week 1, with an average ATS margin of –2.6 points. Their team totals also fall short, averaging –3.2 compared to expectations. RJ pushes back, calling the no-snap approach “idiotic,” arguing that football players improve by playing football, but McKenzie notes the trend has only grown stronger. They cite teams like the Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Falcons, Rams, Bills, and Ravens as Week 1 under candidates, especially in games like Cowboys vs Eagles, Buccaneers vs Falcons, and Ravens vs Bills. In classic forum fashion, the pod spins into a debate about Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady, with McKenzie insisting the numbers favor Manning's brilliance and RJ countering that Brady's postseason success and rings will age better historically. From there they wander into Bird vs Magic, Bill Walton's brief dominance, and Gilbert Arenas' scoring outbursts, demonstrating how sports arguments naturally expand. Eventually RJ reins it back in with his own powerful Week 3 preseason system: play favorites who lost both straight up and against the spread in Week 2. Since 2021 these teams are 14–5–1 ATS, but the real gold is in the first quarter, where they are effectively undefeated with massive scoring margins. At home the trend is even stronger, with a 10–1 ATS record and a combined +180 point margin. RJ breaks down which teams qualify this year, including Kansas City, Detroit, the Jets, and Dallas at home, plus Bills, Steelers, Raiders, and Chargers on the road. He highlights home teams in the first quarter as the true best bet subset, noting an 11–0 record with an average +9 point differential. The conversation shifts to how small sample size intersects with logical consistency, with RJ stressing that this system passes the test because it makes sense up and down the spectrum. McKenzie adds that home momentum explains why the advantage continues beyond the opening quarter. As always, the pod mixes sharp betting insight with humor, from round robin discussions to jokes about Britney Spears movies on Easter. The episode closes with RJ previewing Pregame's content schedule: the annual Quarterback Draft, the Season Win Totals Over/Under show, and weekly Dream Previews through the Super Bowl. The takeaway for bettors is clear: Week 1 unders for teams with zero preseason QB snaps, and Week 3 first quarter plays for favorites off a loss, especially at home, form the strongest edges going into the season.

RJ bell, Steve Fezzik and Scott Seidenberg talk NFL Preseason and much more. RJ Bell opens with humor, likening obvious seasonal choices to betting decisions, and transitions into a sales pitch for pregame season picks, stressing that buying early is always best. He notes past success from cappers including A.J. Hoffman at +75 units, Goodfella at +50, Shaker with 20–26, and Steve Fezzik with 10 of 12 winning years, though Fezzik is down this year with 30 pending bets. A podcast coupon TOUCHDOWN75 offers $75 off. Light conversation covers Fezzik “holding down the fort,” movies like Dances with Wolves and Tin Cup, and McKenzie's trip to Chicago. Shifting to football, Fezzik reports a preseason week one scoring surge: 14 overs, 2 unders, 44.9 points per game, about eight points above totals and eight higher than last year's week one. Yardage and first down numbers barely rose, suggesting other causes, chiefly a new kickoff rule moving touchbacks to the 35-yard line. Week one saw an 80% return rate, same as last year's first week, but higher variance from returns creates more scoring opportunities than uniform touchbacks. Another factor is improved field goal prep—kickers now get balls earlier—producing 88.8% accuracy on 63 attempts, including 18 makes from 50+ yards and a 70-yarder, up from 86% last year. RJ and Fezzik argue this, combined with kickoff variance, will cut punts and boost points. Fezzik advises betting overs now before public momentum inflates totals. They analyze betting market evolution, noting early-week line moves remain sharp but late-week ones have softened due to more public money from legalized wagering. Bookmaker practices limiting sharps quickly are discussed alongside anecdotes from Pinnacle's Henry about reading bettors. Strategic implications emerge for team totals and props tied to strong kickers and returners. RJ prefers season-long overs before adjustment; Fezzik expects kickoff returns to stay near 85% in the regular season. RJ stresses finding betting niches you enjoy. Scott shares success in “longest rush/reception” props using YAC and missed tackle data. Preseason takeaways include that league-wide rule effects matter regardless of personnel, while starter-vs-starter glimpses gain value as preseason progresses. Fezzik's best bet is Detroit +3.5 vs Miami, citing the Lions' third game and 8 days rest against Miami's second game, short week, and back-to-back road travel. RJ outlines how Hall of Fame game participants excel late in week one due to conditioning depth. Scott's best bet is Eagles -4.5 vs Browns, exploiting Cleveland's depleted QB depth versus standout Eagles backup Tanner McKee. Scott presents an offensive tackle composite ranking from PFF and pass block win rate to find teams facing weak tackles; 49ers rank second easiest, making Nick Bosa a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year at +1500, sack leader at +1100, or 15+ sacks at +250. Using the same method, the Giants face the third toughest tackle slate, leading RJ to target under on Brian Burns sacks. Discussion notes good defensive lines facing strong tackles make sack production harder. They close with an announcement that Scott will appear less often due to new opportunities but will return during the season, ending with thanks, a Johnny Cash anecdote, and Fezzik quoting Cash lyrics.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Tuesday. Best bets as always. The June MLB betting preview episode from RJ Bell's Dream Podcast, hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner, covers 13 games with available lines, diving into team form, pitching matchups, and betting leans. Missing initially were lines for Dodgers-Rockies and Rangers-Orioles, though the latter appeared late in the episode. They open noting Munaf's bounce-back 5–1 week and Griffin chasing closely behind in season-long picks. The first matchup—Blue Jays vs. Guardians—features even odds. Griffin sees value in whoever becomes the underdog. Munaf highlights Logan Allen's stark ERA split: 6.18 in day games, 2.79 at night. The A's-Tigers game sees Tigers favored at -275. Griffin critiques the price despite Skubal's Cy Young form. Munaf adds that Tigers are 20–5 straight up in series openers and 11–1 at home. Yankees vs. Reds features rookie Chase Burns in his debut against Carlos Rodon. Griffin notes the Yankees are built better for the park, while Munaf explains Rodon's recent regression—12 ER in June compared to 5 in May. Braves-Mets has Strider returning, though Griffin questions his sharpness. Munaf notes Monteas' poor historical outings vs. the Braves and leans Strider, citing a recent quality start against the Mets. In D-backs vs. White Sox, Ryan Nelson's 1.87 ERA at night vs. 10.95 in the day impresses Munaf, while Griffin mocks the Sox as a “Double-A team.” For Pirates-Brewers, Peralta is dominant at home (6–1 SU), prompting a team total under lean from Munaf. Griffin applauds Milwaukee's base-stealing and efficiency. Mariners-Twins rematch Castillo vs. Paddack: both had elite starts earlier this month. Munaf likes the under (8.5), while Griffin again hails Cal Raleigh's ("Big Dumper") surge. Rays-Royals sees Griffin supporting Bubich, especially given Tampa's recent inconsistency. Munaf notes Taj Bradley's 13 ER in two starts. Cubs-Cardinals analysis finds Griffin liking STL as a home dog, with Munaf highlighting McGreevy's sub-1.00 WHIP and 2–1 team record in his starts. In Phillies-Astros, both agree Suarez and Valdez are elite. Munaf reveals Valdez's 6–1 under trend at home, while Suarez is 3–0–1 to the under on the road. Under 7.5 is Munaf's best bet. Red Sox vs. Angels pits Crochet's 2.20 ERA and 125 Ks against inconsistent Tyler Anderson. Griffin leans Angels as a value play; Munaf backs Boston's run line. Nationals-Padres gets light treatment—Williams has a 5.54 ERA and Padres are favored. Munaf suggests SD's first-five team total over. Giants-Marlins rounds out the card with Verlander's return. Griffin hesitates to back either starter but leans under unless conditions are hot. Munaf prefers the Giants, questioning Miami's bullpen. A late line appears for Rangers-Orioles. Griffin picks Baltimore ML (-130) as his best bet, citing Charlie Morton's improved form and Texas' offensive struggles. Munaf agrees, referencing Morton's 6 IP, 2 ER outing vs. TEX last year. The episode concludes with Griffin plugging a promo code (RBI20) for discounted betting picks access and teasing more comedic yet informative breakdowns through summer.

RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Finals betting and NFL this week. The "Dream Podcast NBA Finals Game 3 Reaction & NFL Wind Report" is a sports discussion hosted by RJ Bell alongside Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers. The conversation begins with light banter and references to “Happy Days” before transitioning to a Father's Day promo and hot betting streaks by Andre Gomes and Fezik. RJ highlights their impressive records—49-21 and 25-7 respectively—with total units gained standing at +59 and +37. The analysis then turns toward the NBA Finals Game 3, where the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC) lost to the Indiana Pacers. Mackenzie breaks down the collapse, emphasizing OKC's rotational rigidity as a critical flaw. Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) played 42 minutes, his brief rest early in the fourth allowed a 10-0 Pacers run, turning a 103-100 OKC lead into a loss. RJ critiques OKC's systemic inexperience, noting their league-second-fewest 24 clutch games in the regular season. Meanwhile, Indiana's superior poise in tight games continues, now boasting a 9-1 playoff record in clutch situations, defined as within five points during the final five minutes. Scott lauds Pacers coach Rick Carlisle for implementing a Spurs-like approach—balanced scoring and consistent fourth-quarter performances. The Pacers have scored 32 or more points in every fourth quarter of the series so far. Indiana's Benedict Mathurin came off the bench to score 27, bolstering the team's depth. RJ discusses the market perception of the Thunder and Pacers, suggesting OKC was overvalued due to their youth and playoff inexperience. Historically, NBA teams favored by -600 or more have gone 10-1 over the last 50 years; should Indiana win, it would rival the 2011 Mavericks' upset and perhaps even eclipse it. The discussion transitions into betting market mechanics, specifically the zigzag theory, which expects teams to rebound after a loss. While this strategy is currently hitting at 66% against the spread in these playoffs, RJ notes it's not profitable long-term due to line adjustments. The team cites that home dogs in Game 3 receive an average 4.5-point boost, and home favorites see about 8.5 points. They then preview Game 4, citing that OKC is 5-0 after playoff losses, averaging a +8 first-quarter margin. Yet, the Thunder are 0-8 against the spread on the road during the postseason. The podcast closes with a detailed look at NFL betting trends related to wind. Since 1999, games played in over 25 mph winds have gone 33-10-2 to the under, a 77% rate, averaging 8 fewer points than the line. Even at 15-19 mph, the under holds a 2-point edge. Finally, they briefly touch on Aaron Rodgers' surprise marriage and his move to Pittsburgh, noting that Vegas markets had already priced in his team change, keeping the Steelers' win total at 8.3 and showing no Super Bowl odds shift. The Dolphins' win total dropped from 8.1 to 7.5, the largest decline in the NFL, potentially due to depth issues or quarterback concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk all things NFL and NBA this week. The guys get into an interesting discussion about the Roman Empire. Best bets as always. The Dream Podcast delivers a high-level breakdown of NFL power rankings, survivor contest strategies, and NBA playoff betting trends, hosted by RJ Bell with sharp insights from Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers, and Scott Seidenberg. The episode opens with Fezzik's scorching 12-0 MLB run and a hot NHL Game of the Year pick, prompting a promo code for free premium plays. In the main NFL segment, RJ unveils his 2025 power rankings, derived from updated win totals and simulation modeling. Philadelphia leads at +7.5 points over average, followed by Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City, and Detroit. The hosts contrast these with ESPN's FPI, critiquing its inclusion of schedule and kicker factors. They highlight value bets such as Detroit +3.5 at Philly and Rams -2.5 hosting Tampa Bay, both driven by scheduling fatigue and injury recovery dynamics. Fezzik also shares deep game theory around Circa's $100K survivor contest, including how to leverage Week 1 volatility with rebuy options. The podcast shifts to the NBA, where the Thunder's statistical dominance is dissected—highlighting their 18-4 ATS record in Game 1s and home/road performance splits. Mackenzie outlines SGA's MVP-level production and long-term franchise upside, while debating futures odds and playoff series pricing.

What if the abundant life isn't found in doing more—but in becoming more of who God created you to be?In this episode of Free to Dream, we challenge the cultural pressure to perform, produce, and prove… and lean into the sacred invitation to abide, align, and become. Because burnout isn't a badge of honor—it's a sign you've been building from the wrong source.We'll talk about: ➤ Why doing less may be the most obedient thing you can do ➤ How to stop chasing everyone else's expectations and start becoming who God says you are ➤ The mindset shift that frees you from hustle and anchors you in identity ➤ And how Jesus never hurried—but always walked in powerThis episode is for the dreamer who's tired of doing it all, trying to be it all, and losing themselves in the process.You weren't made to keep up. You were made to become—on purpose, with God, and in His perfect pace.It's time to do less… and become more.ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A DREAMER?Take these next steps…..DARE TO DREAM - Self Guided Course: https://thejuliagentry.com/daretodream/(For all my Free to Dream Podcast listeners, use FREETODREAM to receive a discount!)BUY MY BOOK & Workbook || DREAM - I Dare You: https://thejuliagentry.com/dream-book/BOOK ME AS A SPEAKER - https://thejuliagentry.com/speaking/SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL - The Julia GentryLISTEN TO MY PODCAST- Free to Dream -: https://thejuliagentry.com/podcast/FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Julia Gentry Instagram: @thejuliagentryFacebook: @thejuliagentryLove the show?

Scott Seidenberg (7:26-8:24) declared Kansas City's schedule as brutal, starting in Brazil, facing the Eagles, and enduring short-week matchups against Buffalo and Baltimore. RJ (8:24-13:19) added context about KC's fatigue from years of dense scheduling and pointed to their 11th hardest schedule overall. Fezzik (13:20-14:32) explained that by Robbie Greer's method, the Giants had the hardest (+1.6 per game) and the 49ers the easiest (-1.4). Fezzik (16:48-20:05) outlined a strategy of betting unders on NFC teams, due to their road-heavy schedules.
