0:00 - The Seahawks won Super Bowl 60. The Lombardi Trophy is headed back to Seattle. Man, that was a boring Super Bowl. It picked up a bit in garbage time, but whatever. The question we'll ask from now until the end of time: How would the Broncos have looked in that game against the Seahawks Defense with a healthy Bo Nix and JK Dobbins?15:24 - It was the most controversial Super Bowl halftime show of all controversial Super Bowl halftime shows! Gasp! What did you think of Bad Bunny yesterday?32:03 - Jamal Murray has been named to the NBA's 3-Point Contest. Good for him! He'll probably hit the gym immediately and start putting up shots to get ready for it. That's the type of person he is. He's a natural competitor. It's nice to see Jamal finally getting his flowers.

Denver Nuggets vs. Chicago Bulls NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nuggets vs. Bulls Injuries Bates, Gordon, Jones and Watson are out for Denver. Johnson and Jokic are questionable with Braun probable. Collins, Giddy and Jones are out for Chicago with Smith questionable. Recent Box Score Key Stats Nuggets at Bulls 8PM ET—Denver fell to 33-19 following their 134-127 road defeat against NY Knicks.

Evan and Tiki try to “breathe” after an insane double-overtime Knicks win at MSG that almost turned into an all-day referee meltdown. They break down Mikal Bridges' brutal night (and the massive corner three), why Knicks fans are suddenly saying “we don't need Giannis,” and the real takeaway: Mitchell Robinson looking like a one-man defensive cheat code against Jokic and Jamal Murray. Plus, trade deadline talk with the latest buzz, the Knicks' minor money move, what the buyout market could look like, and calls on Brunson's clutch DNA and a wild Draymond-to-NY idea. Then the hour takes a hard turn to hockey as the Rangers ship Artemi “Breadman” Panarin to the Kings, sending Sean into full Fan Focus fury about Drury, the direction of the franchise, and why this “retool” feels like a wrecking ball.

A wild double overtime night at Madison Square Garden had everything. Late whistles. Missed shots. Big nerves. And a Knicks team that refused to fold. Evan and Tiki break down the double overtime win over the Denver Nuggets and why this one felt different from past seasons. The conversation starts with the controversial loose ball foul that nearly flipped the night and why the Knicks overcame a moment that usually ends in disaster. From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline chatter and why a game like this makes you wonder if the Knicks even need Giannis Antetokounmpo to compete with the league's best. At the center of it all is Mitchell Robinson. His ability to guard Nikola Jokic in the paint and switch out onto Jamal Murray on the perimeter is dissected in detail, along with why his defensive impact might be the real difference between a good team and a Finals team. Jalen Brunson gets his due for late game poise, Karl-Anthony Towns' bloody toughness moment is discussed, and the roller coaster night from Mikal Bridges is put into full context. Plus, legendary calls from Walt Clyde Frazier add another layer to an already unforgettable night. A reminder to stay calm during an 82 game season, but also a clear message. This Knicks team can beat anyone when it defends like this.

The Denver Nuggets were apart of an instant classic at Madison Square Garden! Nikola Jokic and Oscar Robertson meet again in the record books and Jamal Murray put the cape on early and often. The injury bug hit the Nuggets again with P-Wat and Spencer Jones leaving the game. The Nuggets ran out of gas late in back to back nights. Koz was on the call from Broadway. 

The Denver Nuggets are in the midst of another tough portion of their schedule. Tonight they attempted to weather the storm behind clutch shooting from Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther but they ran out of gas late. Christian Braun came back tonight but the Nuggets are still figuring things until the calvary is fully back. Koz eas on the Call from the Motor City

0:00 - The Nuggets had a chance to win, but fell short of beating the Pistons last night at Ball Arena. It is what is it. Chalk it up to the travel debacle where they couldn't get out of Memphis. They sat on the tarmac for ages, and made it back to Denver less than 24 hours until tip. It is what it is. But, one positive takeaway: Jamal Murray was very open and honest in his postgame presser. He actually took responsibility for his mistakes instead of being flippant and dismissive with the media. 15:02 - The Law Firm of Payton and Paton addressed the media to wrap up the season. Even though they reached the AFC Championship, this team needs to make some adjustments in the offseason. Both Payton and Paton understand that.34:05 - Right now, the Broncos have Bo Nix dirt cheap on his rookie contract. They HAVE to capitalize on this window. How will Sean and George maximize their opportunities before they have to pay Bo?

0:00 - Sam Malinski just inked a 4-year extension with the Avalanche. Head Coach Jared Bednar had nothing but good things to say about Malinski and his journey this morning when he joined us for his weekly appearance. 16:57 - Last night, Jamal Murray was open and honest in his postgame press conference. He owned up to his critical mistakes in Denver's loss to the Pistons. That's a sign of growth from Jamal. In years past, he was snippy and dismissive with the media.Also, yesterday we learned that Bill Belichick will NOT be a First Ballot Hall of Famer. He'll have to wait at least a year. Seriously? We KNOW he's gonna make it in, but some people want to make him wait in order to send a message?32:10 - Turns out, the surgeon who looked at Bo Nix's ankle said a fracture was a matter of "if" not "when." Is this something we need to worry about?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover. The guys discuss if this will be a week where Evan Engram breaks out with big production and how many pass attempts they are expecting from Jarrett Stidham.

0:00 - The Nuggets keep finding ways to win without Jokic, and they did it again last night in Dallas. From here on out, we don't want to hear any more excuses. Denver has proven they can win games with whoever is able to lace em up on any given night. "Oh, they lost because they were missing [insert player name here] isn't an acceptable excuse any more, and that's a good thing.17:07 - We're making a call to the bullpen! DMac out, Raj in!The Bills Mafia got mad at us online for suggesting that the key to a Broncos victory is stopping the run. Raj dug up some numbers, and low and behold: when James Cook rushes for less than 100 yards, the Bills usually lose.32:26 - Jamal Murray is reaching new heights. He's even surpassed "Playoff Murray" or the so-called "Bubble Murray." 

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday Jan 14. Munaf Manji opened the January 14, 2026 edition of the Cash That Ticket Podcast by outlining a midweek betting discussion focused on NBA matchups, league news, and select NFL developments as the sports calendar moved deeper into January. Dave Essler joined the show and immediately referenced a successful live betting read from their previous discussion, noting they correctly anticipated a low scoring first quarter that finished exactly 3 to 0 before recommending the game over, which ultimately cashed at 32, reinforcing the value of game flow analysis and patience. Manji transitioned into an NBA recap, highlighting how player props can be derailed by blowouts, using Milwaukee's 139 to 106 home loss to Minnesota as the example. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 25 points and 8 rebounds, falling short of a 30.5 points prop and a 10.5 rebounds line after the game became noncompetitive, illustrating how reduced minutes can negate strong individual performance. Manji also referenced Phoenix erasing a 17 point deficit against Miami by winning the third quarter 38 to 21, only for late game execution to ruin certain bets, reinforcing the volatility of NBA markets. The conversation shifted to major NBA news surrounding Anthony Davis, with Essler noting conflicting reports but stressing that regardless of surgery language, Davis would miss several months. Essler pointed out Davis has frequently played only 20 to 50 games per season since 2020 and appeared in roughly 29 of 73 games with Dallas, questioning his trade value as he approaches age 33. Manji discussed potential fits, focusing on Detroit's 28 and 10 record and Cade Cunningham's MVP caliber season, arguing Davis could still impact both ends of the floor if healthy. Essler reframed the situation through a futures betting lens, citing Detroit at 20 to 1 and Toronto at 150 to 1 as examples of numbers that would move sharply if a trade occurred. The show then moved to Wednesday's NBA card, starting with Cleveland at Philadelphia, where the 76ers were favored by 1.5 with a 237.5 total. Cleveland entered at 22 and 19, while Philadelphia sat at 22 and 16 but just 10 and 9 at home. Essler explained why he liked Philadelphia despite most tickets on Cleveland, pointing to line movement from around 3.5 down to 1.5 and recent form with six wins in eight games. Manji agreed, citing Joel Embiid's matchup advantage, Cleveland's 8 and 9 road record, and ongoing chemistry concerns. Essler added that Embiid's presence often slows pace, noting the 76ers have averaged four to five fewer possessions than normal recently, making the under appealing. The discussion continued with Denver at Dallas, where the Mavericks were favored by 1.5 after Denver's 122 to 116 win in New Orleans. Jamal Murray logged 37 minutes with 35 points and 9 assists, Peyton Watson played 39 minutes, and Tim Hardaway Jr. played 33 minutes, raising fatigue concerns without Nikola Jokic available. Both hosts leaned Dallas, with Manji noting Najee Marshall's recent 22 and 17 point outings and the opportunity for expanded roles. The episode closed with NFL news as Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons as Steelers head coach. Essler praised Tomlin for leaving on his own terms and dismissed narratives around forced departure, emphasizing his record of never having a losing season. Manji noted the rarity of the move, as Pittsburgh has had only four head coaches since 1969, and suggested Tomlin may take time away before returning. The show concluded with best bets, including Manji backing the Knicks minus 10.5 and their team total over 120.5, and Essler selecting Charlotte plus 3.5 against Tulsa, reinforcing the theme of disciplined, market based betting rather than chasing narratives.
