Munaf Manji and Lonte Smith talk NFL Week 4 player props betting. [Munaf Manji] introduced props across positions. [Lonte Smith] began with Tua Tagovailoa over 243.5 yards Monday night, noting “he's averaged 254 against the Jets” and McDaniel will push him after Miami's 0-3 start. [Munaf Manji] agreed, adding urgency for Tua and coach jobs. His QB prop targeted Jordan Love's longest completion over 38.5, citing Dallas' defense surrendering multiple 40+ plays: “it just takes one pass.” [Lonte Smith] agreed, naming WR Golden as likely to hit. At RB, [Lonte Smith] chose Jameer Gibbs under 64.5, stressing Cleveland's rush defense at 57.3 yards allowed per game and Henry held to 11-for-23. [Munaf Manji] agreed, noting Browns allow only 2.25 yards per carry. His RB pick was Ashton Gentry over 63.5 vs Chicago, pointing to Bears' 5.34 YPC allowed, with Gibbs and Javonte Williams torching them. [Lonte Smith] called it Gentry's “coming out party.” At WR, [Lonte Smith] pushed Nico Collins over 71.5 yards, citing big games vs Tennessee's weak secondary and 8-for-104 last week. [Munaf Manji] doubled down, citing his home splits—70 yards and 16 TDs at home vs 54 and 4 on road—and Sneed's “who?” comment as bulletin-board fuel. At TE, [Lonte Smith] loved Hunter Henry over 40.5, calling it “my favorite play,” citing Panthers' struggles vs McBride and Strange, plus Henry's 23 team-leading targets and 8-for-90 line with 2 TDs. [Munaf Manji] agreed, saying the number is “a little low” and suggested ladder bets. They also mentioned Puka Nacua's steady 9+ targets weekly and Jackson Dart rushing overs at 34.5. For anytime TDs, [Lonte Smith] picked Woody Marks at +200, noting goal-line weakness in Tennessee and dual-threat usage. [Munaf Manji] picked Collins to score at +115, citing 14 TDs in 16 Houston home games, and Mahomes rushing TD at +340, warning it's “alarming” he leads KC in rushing but already has 2 TDs. Finally, both agreed the best bet is Bo Nix over 218.5 passing yards vs Cincinnati. [Munaf Manji] cited Bengals' weak pass defense: Flacco 290, Lawrence 271. He added Nix hit 219 and 3 TDs on them last year. [Lonte Smith] predicted “explosion” plays would push him over. They closed with consensus that Nix's passing over is week four's strongest prop, while Collins and Henry offer strong supporting plays. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, the Elixir Wizards wrap up Season 14 “Enter the Elixirverse.” Dan, Charles, and Sundi look back at some common themes: Elixir plays well with others, bridges easily to access languages and tools, and remains a powerful technology for data flow, concurrency, and developer experience. We revisit the popular topics of the year, from types and tooling to AI orchestration and reproducible dev environments, and share what we're excited to explore next.   We also invite your questions and takeaways to help shape future seasons and conference conversations. Season 14 doubles as a handy primer for anyone curious about how Elixir integrates across the stack.   Key topics discussed in this episode:   * Lessons from a season of interoperability * Set-theoretic types and what new compiler warnings unlock * AI in practice: LLM orchestration, fallbacks, and real-world use * SDUI and GraphQL patterns for shipping UI across web/iOS/Android * Dataframes in Elixir with Explorer for analytics workflows * Python interoperability (ErlPort, PythonX) and when to reach for it * Reproducible dev environments with Nix and friends * Performance paths: Rustler and Zig for native extensions * Bluetooth & Nerves: Blue Heron and hardware integrations * DevEx upgrades: LiveView, build pipelines, and standard project setup * Observability and ops: Prometheus/Grafana and sensible deployments * Community feedback, conferences, and what's on deck for next season   Links mentioned in this episode: Cars.com S14E06 SDUI at Scale with Elixir https://youtu.be/nloRcgngTk?si=g4Zd4N1s56Ronrtw https://hexdocs.pm/phoenixliveview/Phoenix.LiveView.html https://wordpress.com/ https://elixir-lang.org/ S14E01 Zigler: Zig NIFs for Elixir https://youtu.be/hSAvWxh26TU?si=d55tVuZbNw0KCfT https://ziglang.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/zigler/Zig.html https://github.com/blue-heron/blueheron https://github.com/elixir-explorer/explorer S14E08 Nix for Elixir Apps https://youtu.be/yymUcgy4OAk?si=BRgTlc2VK5bsIhIf https://nixos.org/ https://nix.dev/ S14E07 Set Theoretic Types in Elixir https://youtu.be/qMmEnXcHxL4?si=Ux2lebiwEp3mc0e S14E10 Python in Elixir Apps https://youtu.be/SpVLrrWkRqE?si=ld3oQVXVlWHpo7eV https://www.python.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/pythonx/ https://github.com/Pyrlang/Pyrlang https://github.com/erlport/erlport S14E03 LangChain: LLM Integration for Elixir https://youtu.be/OwFaljL3Ptc?si=A0sDs2dzJ0UoE2PY https://github.com/brainlid/langchain S14E04 Nx & Machine Learning in Elixir https://youtu.be/Ju64kAMLlkw?si=zdVnkBTTLHvIZNBm S14E05 Rustler: Bridging Elixir and Rust https://youtu.be/2RBw7B9OfwE?si=aRVYOyxxW8fTmoRA https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler Season 3: Working with Elixir https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTDLmInI9YaDbhMRpGuYpboVNbp1Fl9PD&si=hbe7qt4gRUfrMtpj S14E11 Vibe Coding the LoopedIn Crochet App https://youtu.be/DX0SjmPE92g?si=zCBPjS1huRDIeVeP Season 5: Adopting Elixir  YouTubeLaunchisode and Outlaws Takeover with Chris Keathley, Amos King, and Anna Neyzberg S13E01 Igniter: Elixir Code Generation https://youtu.be/WM9iQlQSF_g?si=e0CAiML2qC2SxmdL Season 8: Elixir in a Polyglot Environment https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTDLmInI9YaAPlvMd-RDp6LWFjI67wOGN&si=YCI7WLA8qozD57iw !!
