This week on Circle Back, the crew dives into the Miami Heat's YouTube slip-up, a scheduled livestream titled "LeBron James Introductory Press Conference" for July 27th that got posted, then quickly deleted. The team says it was a mistake made while preparing for a possible signing, but that hasn't stopped the theories. Was this a genuine accident, or a deliberate leak designed to move the needle on prediction markets before anything is even official? From there, the conversation shifts to prediction markets more broadly, after a platform CEO publicly admitted a majority of users lose money. Is that refreshing honesty, or a red flag? We compare it to loss rates at traditional sportsbooks, casinos, and horse tracks to find out if the number is really as bad as it sounds. Then we dig into a new report showing nearly half of all sports event contract volume in the country comes from just two states without legal sports betting, California and Texas, and debate whether that's really a "gold rush" or something else entirely. Hosted live by Jacob Gramegna, joined by Isaac Rose-Berman, Joey Knish, and Mike.

Plus, the guys are opening it up to your college football betting questions, so bring your lines, your futures bets, and anything else on your mind as we get closer to kickoff.

Argentina stunned England with a late 2-1 comeback to set up a World Cup final showdown with Spain, and the reaction is pouring in.

Live on this week's Circle Back, the crew breaks down one of the biggest cross-sport news days of the year. The United States have advanced in the FIFA World Cup, but the win is overshadowed after a controversial red card to Florian Balogun that will now see him miss a massive matchup against Belgium. The panel discusses what the decision means on the field — and what it could mean for the betting markets moving forward. The biggest story of the day comes out of the NBA, where Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges tied to an alleged sports betting scheme involving point shaving and prop bets, with reports indicating a voluntary surrender is being coordinated this week. The conversation digs into what this means for the league, the integrity of sports betting, and why this case could have ripple effects well beyond one player. Later, the crew reacts to Jordan Spieth's comments on betting in golf, and the perceived contradiction between his public stance and his partnership history in the space. Hosted by Jacob Gramegna on Circle Back, part of Circles Off on The Hammer Betting Network, joined this week by Thon Misser, Joey Knish, and Isaac Rose-Berman.

The biggest college football games of the 2026 season are already on the board, and Brad Powers and Joey Knish are breaking down the early betting lines from FanDuel. From Ohio State vs. Texas and Michigan vs. Oklahoma to Georgia vs. Alabama, Notre Dame vs. Miami, LSU vs. Ole Miss, and the annual showdown between Ohio State and Michigan, the guys discuss which numbers stand out, where the betting value could develop, and which games they're willing to bet months before kickoff. Is Texas the right favorite against Ohio State? Can Michigan bounce back against Oklahoma? Is Georgia undervalued against Alabama? And which early line offers the best value on the entire board? Plus, Brad and Joey reveal their favorite bets, discuss how they expect these numbers to move throughout the offseason, and explain the importance of betting Game of the Year markets before the rest of the market catches up.

The 2027 quarterback class is already generating massive hype, but could it actually become the greatest QB class in NFL Draft history? Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the top quarterback prospects expected to headline the 2027 NFL Draft, including Arch Manning, CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Bailey, Nico Iamaleava, Fernando Mendoza, Josh Hoover and more. Would Arch Manning really be the No. 1 overall pick if the draft happened today? Is CJ Carr the safest quarterback prospect in college football? Could Dante Moore ultimately become the best NFL quarterback from this class? The guys rank their top quarterback prospects, debate where the consensus is getting certain players wrong, and make bold predictions about how many quarterbacks could be selected in the first round and first three rounds of the NFL Draft. They also discuss elite non-quarterback prospects like Jeremiah Smith, Leonard Moore and Dylan Stewart, and whether the 2027 NFL Draft could become one of the most talented draft classes in recent memory. Will this quarterback group live up to the hype, or are expectations already getting out of control?

In this episode of Hit The Books, Brad Powers and Joey Knish dive into one of the most debated topics in all of college football right now: which head coaches are actually being overrated by the market, the media, and fan perception. The conversation gets heated quickly as they break down the gap between reputation and real results across the sport. Mario Cristobal at Miami comes under the microscope, with discussion around elite recruiting versus actual on-field execution and whether the results truly match the hype. Dabo Swinney's Clemson tenure is also heavily debated, especially as questions continue to grow around whether the program has adapted enough to modern college football after recent down years. The guys also take aim at Lincoln Riley and whether his offensive brilliance is being overshadowed by deeper program-building concerns at USC, especially after expectations shifted following his arrival. Coach Prime and Colorado are brought into the mix as well, focusing on whether early momentum can realistically be sustained in the new transfer portal era or if regression is coming. From there, the debate escalates into some of the biggest names in the sport. Steve Sarkisian at Texas is questioned in terms of win consistency versus roster talent and program investment, while Kirby Smart at Georgia sparks one of the most controversial takes of the episode, with Brad and Joey challenging whether results fully match the national perception of dominance in today's college football landscape.

Which college football coaches are REALLY on the hot seat heading into the 2026 season? Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the coaches they believe may not survive the year at their current schools, including Bill Belichick at North Carolina, Deion Sanders at Colorado, Dabo Swinney at Clemson, Shane Beamer at South Carolina, Mike Locksley at Maryland and more. The crew debates whether Bill Belichick will still be coaching at North Carolina in 2027, if Deion Sanders missed his chance to leave Colorado, and whether Dabo Swinney can still compete in the modern era of college football. They also discuss which programs are falling behind financially, the toughest jobs in college football, and which coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season. Will Bill Belichick succeed at North Carolina? Can Deion Sanders keep Colorado relevant without Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders? Is Clemson heading toward a major fall under Dabo Swinney? Let us know in the comments which college football coach you think is under the most pressure this season.

College football is changing fast, and Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down one of the biggest questions facing the sport today: does college football need a salary cap? With NIL spending exploding across the country, some college football programs are reportedly pushing toward $40 million and even $50 million rosters. Knish and Powers discuss the future of NIL, donor fatigue, conference spending wars, playoff expansion, and whether the current model of college football is financially sustainable. The guys debate how schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, and Texas A&M could separate themselves financially from the rest of college football, while programs across the SEC and Big Ten try to keep up in the NIL arms race. Joey Knish and Brad Powers also discuss NIL collectives, booster spending, revenue sharing in college sports, the future of non-revenue sports, and whether college football could eventually break away from universities entirely. They also examine how conferences like the SEC and Big Ten could shape the future of the sport as spending continues to rise. Joey Knish and Brad Powers give their thoughts on where college football is headed next and whether the sport can continue spending at this pace without major changes. Hit The Books is part of The Hammer Betting Network sponsored by FanDuel.

In this episode of Hit The Books, Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down what a 24-Team College Football Playoff could look like and whether expanding the CFP would completely change college football as we know it. The guys discuss how a 24-Team Playoff would impact the regular season, conference championships, rivalry week, strength of schedule, automatic bids, at-large teams, and the overall structure of the College Football Playoff. They also debate whether college football can realistically support a larger playoff format without damaging what already makes the sport unique. Would a 24-Team CFP improve college football or completely break it?

College football is heading deeper into chaos, and the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech has sparked one of the most controversial eligibility debates we've seen yet. On this episode of Hit The Books, Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down the latest developments surrounding the Sorsby case, the NCAA's handling of eligibility rulings, and why this situation is raising bigger questions about the structure and governance of college football as a whole. What starts as a single player eligibility story quickly turns into a much larger discussion about enforcement, inconsistency, and whether college football is losing control of its own rulebook. Is Texas Tech really going to get Brendan Sorsby on the field? Or is this another example of a system that no longer has a clear authority? We also get into the broader implications for the sport — from conference power dynamics to what this means for the future of NCAA oversight and whether we're heading toward full-blown structural change in college football. This is Hit The Books, part of The Hammer Betting Network.

College football spring practice 2026 has reshaped the national title conversation, but the central question remains: how many teams can actually win it all? On this episode of Hit The Books, Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down the biggest contenders in college football, including Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, and others across the national landscape. The debate centers on whether college football is truly more open at the top or still defined by a small group of elite programs capable of winning a national championship. Joey Knish argues there are now roughly twelve to thirteen teams with a realistic path to a title, pointing to increased parity across the sport and the expanded College Football Playoff creating more legitimate contenders. Brad Powers disagrees, arguing the true number is closer to seven teams that can realistically win multiple high-level playoff games and actually get through the full postseason gauntlet. The conversation also covers spring takeaways from major programs across the Big Ten, SEC, and ACC, including where teams like LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Miami, Texas Tech, BYU, and Louisville fit into the national title picture. The guys also discuss how quarterback play, roster strength, and schedule difficulty separate true contenders from playoff participants. Ultimately, the question is whether the top of college football is expanding into a deeper championship field or whether only a small elite tier truly has a path to winning it all.

Bryce Underwood entered the offseason with massive expectations at Michigan — but coming out of spring camp, there are already growing questions surrounding the former five-star quarterback. Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down the reports coming out of Ann Arbor, including concerns about Underwood's development, inconsistency during spring practices, and what his performance could mean for Michigan heading into a brutal 2026 schedule. The guys also discuss Michigan's offensive outlook, pressure on the quarterback position, Tommy Carr generating buzz behind the scenes, and whether the Wolverines can realistically compete at a high level if Underwood doesn't take a major step forward this season. Is the concern around Michigan being overblown? Or are there legitimate warning signs already appearing this early in Bryce Underwood's career? This episode of Hit The Books dives into one of the biggest quarterback storylines in college football entering 2026.

A sports bettor on Twitter revealed he was missing the last bit of money needed to pay rent, so he decided to tail a Dub Club pick seller that was being promoted as a winning bettor. The story sparked a massive discussion about gambling responsibly, the dangers of relying on sports betting for income, and the growing trust issues around pick-selling culture online. The crew also reacts to another Gambling Twitter controversy involving a bettor posting an empty Cavaliers bet slip for engagement before eventually placing the wager at a much worse number after getting called out publicly. Plus, more discussion around the ongoing drama, accountability, and credibility problems surrounding betting content online. Jacob Gramegna is joined by Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor), Joey Knish, and storm_pig for another episode of Circle Back on Circles Off, part of The Hammer Betting Network.

UCLA football is entering the 2026 season with a very different kind of conversation around the program — and it's not just about wins and losses anymore. Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down why there's growing belief that UCLA could be one of the most interesting breakout teams in college football, with some even drawing comparisons to Indiana's recent championship run as a program that took a major leap forward. With increased investment, roster development, and a potential step forward in overall talent, the discussion shifts to whether UCLA is being undervalued heading into the season — including early betting interest around their win total of 5.5. Is this actually a real breakout spot for UCLA in 2026? Or is the hype getting ahead of the reality of where the program truly stands in a new conference environment? This episode of Hit The Books breaks down the upside, the uncertainty, and whether UCLA is a legitimate sleeper heading into next season.

Brendan Sorsby is away from Texas Tech to address a gambling addiction — and it could have major implications for the college football betting market. Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down what this news means for Texas Tech, how the odds have already started to shift, and whether this changes their outlook as a legitimate College Football Playoff contender. With Will Hammond expected to step into the starting role, the guys discuss what to expect from the new quarterback, how the offense could change, and whether there's any value in the Heisman odds market going forward. Is Texas Tech still a threat in college football? Or does this news lower their ceiling when it comes to winning a national championship? This episode dives into everything bettors need to know — from line movement to futures value — following the Brendan Sorsby update.

This episode covers a wide range of topics across betting, prediction markets, and probabilistic thinking. We start with the Brendan Sorsby situation after reports surfaced about a major gambling-related issue involving the Texas Tech QB, including over 10,000 bets placed dating back to 2022. The conversation focuses on what this means for gambling integrity in college sports and the broader responsibility discussion that comes with it. From there, the panel reacts to Isaac Rose-Berman's recent article on prediction markets and the way they are positioned as an alternative to traditional sportsbooks. The discussion explores whether that framing is accurate, how these platforms actually generate profit, and what bettors often misunderstand about their structure. The group also breaks down a viral take from Plus EV Analytics on parlay thinking and how human intuition struggles with probability when outcomes are layered together. Host Jacob Gramegna is joined throughout the episode by Joey Knish, Isaac Rose-Berman, and Chris Dierkes (Flupnolide), a trader at Novig, with all four contributors involved in the full discussion across gambling, markets, and bettor psychology.
