With Bo Nix pushing back on what his coach Sean Payton was saying about his ankle injury, the Patriots seem like the only team in the AFC who aren't having any turmoil or trouble.

Tickets are now available for the Patriots' send off rally at Gillette Stadium this Sunday and the deadline for space savers had expired discussed in the New England Nightly News.

The biggest story in tonight's Headlines is Jayson Tatum now thinking about not returning to the Celtics since it might shake up the team chemistry. If Boston is worried about this, then Tatum should go up on the trade block. Then, Patriots are set to host a send-off rally for fans while Southie's space saver deadline has expired in the New England Nightly News.

Bobby explains why he understands the reasoning while Matt was with the Patriots through some of the controversies. Meanwhile, the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl and Matt talks about the angle that Mike Vrabel can bring to his team. Shedeur Sanders going to the Pro Bowl doesn't feel right. The Titans are building a nice support staff and it could signal a big turnaround for the team. Matt questions Bobby on the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. Bobby and Matt discuss the recent weather and their struggles through the storm. Placekicker Rodrigo Blankenship talks about his signature look and his journey to Georgia and the UFL. Rodrigo is also still looking for his shot in the NFL and explains how hard it is to prove yourself and keep a roster spot on a team.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday and much more. On Thursday, January 29, 2026, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler convened for another episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, breaking down NBA matchups, reacting to major league news, and adding another layer to their ongoing Super Bowl prop discussion. The show opened with reflections on recent betting results, including strong NBA reads despite a narrow college basketball loss, before pivoting quickly to the headline news that dominated the day. A report emerged that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be headed for a new home at or after the February 5 NBA trade deadline, with Milwaukee listening to aggressive offers. Rather than a direct trade request, the framing suggested leverage-building by the Bucks, prompting a discussion about timing, asset maximization, and which contenders could realistically assemble a package centered on draft capital and young talent. Teams like New York, Miami, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Toronto were evaluated, with Houston standing out as a long-shot futures value due to its combination of veterans, young players, and draft assets, currently priced around 19 to 1 to win the NBA title. The conversation then shifted to the night's NBA slate, starting with Detroit at Phoenix. With Devin Booker sidelined, both hosts leaned into the defensive profiles and slow pace of the matchup, favoring the under and expressing interest in Phoenix as a home underdog. Jalen Duren's rebounding production against the Suns was highlighted, leading to a prop recommendation on his over 10.5 rebounds based on consistent head-to-head success and Detroit's interior scoring emphasis. The second game analyzed featured Oklahoma City visiting Minnesota in a divisional rematch. Despite market movement toward the Thunder, concerns about Minnesota's back-to-back fatigue, Oklahoma City injuries, and inflated road chalk drove both toward the under on a relatively low total of 224.5, with cautious disagreement on the side. Attention then turned to Super Bowl props for Patriots versus Seahawks. Dave Essler added Rhamondre Stevenson over 76.5 rushing and receiving yards, citing his late-season workload, rest advantage, and Seattle's vulnerability to running backs in the passing game. Munaf countered with Cooper Kupp over 32.5 receiving yards, pointing to modest usage thresholds, recent playoff production, and the likelihood that New England's defensive focus on Jaxon Smith-Njigba opens opportunities elsewhere. In best bets, Essler went off the board with a futures play on Michigan at 5 to 1 to win the NCAA men's basketball championship, grounding the pick in offensive and defensive efficiency trends. Munaf closed with his official play on Jalen Duren's rebounding prop, reinforcing confidence in the matchup. The episode wrapped with reminders about Pregame promotions and a promise to return with more NBA analysis and Super Bowl props as the week continued. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys preview the NFL draft, the top running back prospects and how frustrated they will be watching the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Will the two leaders of the Broncos get over this "spat"? We react to the updated timetable for Aaron Gordon's hamstring injury as he will be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks. Should the Nuggets regret giving Gordon a contract extension after multiple soft tissue injuries derailing the past two seasons? 

In this episode, the crew discusses the latest NFL news, including the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and the Broncos.
