The quarterbacks - Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson - were big topics of conversation, along with the running backs and wide receivers.

The world of sports keeps moving forward, even without the NFL, as we move a day farther away from Super Bowl 52, but a day closer to the start of a new season. Two guests will join host Adam Burke on the Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio, as Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline and old friend Tony George of Doc's Sports share their insights on a variety of topics. With Brian, the guys will put a wrap on Super Bowl LII from the perspective of both teams and the sportsbooks. It is also a busy night in the NHL with a lot of intriguing spots for teams. Tony George makes his return to the program to chat some Big 12 college basketball as we continue our focus on that betting market. An exciting game between West Virginia and Oklahoma last night and two more games in that conference tonight will be the basis for a discussion of the conference as a whole and the challenges of betting a league in which everybody beats everybody. Tony has a lot of experience in college hoops and will be a valuable resource for a breakdown of this league.

A day closer to Super Bowl LII and we're ready to keep bringing the insight and analysis that you've come to expect from BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will have two guests today, as he chats with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline, about Super Bowl 52, the prop bets, and the return of the NHL from the All-Star Break. The guys will discuss how little Patriots money we've seen in the marketplace and how some Vegas books have already gone to -4. They'll also hit some of Brian's favorite Super Bowl props and talk about the NHL games for Tuesday night's card. Adam recorded a segment with Marc Meltzer, a freelance man about town in Vegas to discuss some of the restaurants and viewing parties that those heading out to Sin City for the Big Game or for March Madness may want to consider. This was a good segment for anybody that hasn't been out to Las Vegas for a while or those that are unsure about how it works for big events like this.

On we go into another edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will start things off with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline, to chat about the early Super Bowl LII lines and the movement that we've seen so far. Prop bets are also out very early this year, so we have a lot of those to consider already as well. They also discussed the NHL All-Star Break and if the NHL should be handicapped differently this week. Adam asked Brian if he sees any teams coming out hot following the layoff and if he sees some teams coming out sluggish as we head towards the Trade Deadline. We also welcomed back Ed Feng of The Power Rank to discuss Super Bowl LII and spend a little bit of time on tonight's college basketball card. Adam and Ed chatted about what the betting market has said about the Eagles vs. Patriots game thus far and also highlighted some key matchups that look likely to influence the way this game is broken down. They also talked about Ed's approach to prop betting and what his early thoughts are. On the college basketball side, the guys looked at a few of tonight's marquee games and looked for some other edges in the data that is out there.

The Conference Championship games are coming up with Jaguars vs. Patriots and Vikings vs. Eagles, so we got Brian's thoughts on the lines and those matchups. On the NHL side, the guys talked about handicapping goaltenders, whether "having a team's number" matters, and day games. Ed Feng of ThePowerRank.com joined us to chat about some college basketball betting futures. With Selection Sunday now less than two months away, looking ahead to March Madness betting opportunities makes a lot of sense. Ed has his own set of metrics and models to evaluate college basketball teams, so we'll ask him about the data that he uses and then take advantage of that data to isolate some teams that are good futures bets to make in hopes of turning a nice profit.

It is a slow go for a lot of people this morning after last night's big game, but we're ready to get it going once again on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will start things off with Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline.

Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily joins us to chat some NBA in the second part of today's show.

They'll talk about which teams are best equipped to handle the scheduling spots around the day off with lots of scheduling spots. The NBA is a star-driven league, but outside of those stars, some guys have a huge impact. Philip will discuss some of those guys that really have a big input in how things happen and they'll also look at several games over the next two days.

We've got three new voices coming your way on BangTheBook Radio for this Tuesday edition of the show. Host Adam Burke will start things out by talking hockey with Brian Blessing, who is the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline out in Sin City.
