Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik take a look back at NFL Week 6. They also discuss Week 7 and pools in Las Vegas and much more. Quote Analysis: Munaf Manji (0:53-1:51) begins by discussing the NFL Circa Survivor contest, noting that this week, 216 of 221 contestants advanced. He references Doug Peterson's situation and highlights that this week was calmer than earlier weeks of the contest. Steve Fezzik (1:52-2:18) explains that despite a rough week where he went 3-4, he still managed to remain in the top five of the contest standings. He criticizes the impact of line movements, especially in college football, where major line movers lost. Steve Fezzik (3:18-4:20) observes that home underdogs went 0-8 straight up and against the spread, with seven teams losing by double digits. This broke the trend of NFL parity, where home underdogs generally perform well. Player Statistics and Analysis: Las Vegas Raiders vs Pittsburgh Steelers (4:41-6:08): Fezzik points out that, despite the Steelers' 19-point win, the game was closer than it appeared. Both teams had similar yardage and first downs (293 to 275 yards). Key stats: Steelers rushed for 183 yards compared to the Raiders’ 57. Steelers' QB Aidan O’Connell threw for 1 TD and 1 interception. Bengals vs Giants (7:08-7:55): Fezzik expresses frustration over the Giants' late loss, highlighting a missed field goal and a Bengals TD that sealed the game. He recalls that Chase Brown could have knelt down to run the clock but instead ran into the end zone. Team Statistics and Insights: Home Underdogs (3:18-4:20): Home underdogs went 0-8 against the spread and straight up, making it one of the worst weeks for those betting on underdogs. The games were mostly uncompetitive, with seven of the eight losing by double digits. Pittsburgh Steelers (4:41-6:08): Despite winning by 19 points, the game was closer statistically. Fezzik mentions the misleading final score due to turnovers and similar yardage from both teams. Denver Broncos (14:17-15:22): Fezzik upgrades the Chargers by 2 points, despite Denver managing 6 yards per play, while LA averaged 4.7. Fezzik criticizes Denver's performance, noting turnovers and ineffective play. Power Rankings and Key Insights: Steve Fezzik (10:45-11:50): Fezzik discusses major adjustments in his power rankings. He downgrades the Broncos and Cowboys by 1.5 points due to poor performances, while Detroit gets a modest upgrade despite injuries. He also downgrades Denver for their poor showing. Phony Finals: Pittsburgh vs Las Vegas (4:41-5:08): This game is highlighted as a misleading final due to the close statistical battle but a wide scoreboard gap. Cincinnati vs Giants (7:08-7:55): Another phony final mentioned, where Fezzik discusses the disappointing finish for Giants bettors, attributing the loss to strategic errors. Betting Market and Strategy: Public vs Books (3:18-4:20): The public had a good week with favorites, and the sportsbooks took losses, but Fezzik reminds listeners that the “lights don’t turn off” at the books, indicating the house always finds a way to profit. Circus Swim (25:52-26:45): Fezzik praises pools in Las Vegas, highlighting Circus Swim and Caesars Palace as standout locations. He reflects on how pools have shifted from relaxing venues to more party-centric environments. Conclusion: The podcast offers a detailed breakdown of NFL Week 6, with Fezzik providing key insights into power rankings, team statistics, and betting strategies.

Griffin Warner: Acknowledges a profitable playoff season, reflecting on the regular season's success (0:52-1:08). Discussion Highlights: Orioles vs. Royals (0:27): Manaf: Mentions Griffin's prediction on the under for the Orioles-Royals series, highlighting a dominant Royals pitching performance that limited the Orioles to three total runs. Griffin: Notes the Royals advanced without any overs, indicating the defensive strength that helped the Royals (1:25-1:26). Impact of Home Field & Umpiring: Griffin: Discusses the significance of home-field advantage, mentioning all series being tied 1-1. He emphasizes the challenge for teams with no extra-innings games played thus far, noting the importance of "last at bats" and competent umpires (2:55-4:06). Umpiring is critical, with Griffin noting that umpires are calling more strikes than usual, making it harder to score runs. Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians (Game 3 Prediction): Pitcher Analysis: Detroit's pitching strategy, led by Bo Brisky, is likely to challenge the Guardians, who rely on Alex Cobb, who hasn’t pitched in a postseason game since 2013 (4:54-9:48). Griffin: Suggests the Tigers have an advantage with AJ Hinch's managerial experience and bullpen depth. Manaf: Underscores Cobb's long gap between playoff appearances and suggests that the Tigers' ability to string hits together could carry them through. Phillies vs. Mets (Game 4 Prediction): Mets Confidence: The Mets lead the series 2-1, and Griffin discusses their momentum and superior bullpen despite flaws (12:36-14:51). Player Performance: Manaf highlights the strong recent performances of Mets' pitcher Jose Quintana and Phillies' Ranger Suarez during the regular season. Quintana’s solid 7-inning shutout against the Phillies is noted (14:52-17:25). Both predict a low-scoring game, favoring the under in the first five innings. Yankees vs. Royals (Game 3 Prediction): Griffin: Expresses skepticism about the Yankees’ ability to win on the road, emphasizing the importance of playoff baseball strategies like aggressive baserunning (stealing bases) and capitalizing on every opportunity (17:26-22:16). Manaf: Points out the underwhelming postseason performance of Aaron Judge, particularly his high strikeout rate (21:02-22:15). Both lean toward betting on the Royals and another under bet due to the tight defense and pitchers' performance. Dodgers vs. Padres (Game 4 Prediction): Griffin: Stresses the significance of the Dodgers’ struggling pitching rotation, with Landon Knack stepping in due to key injuries (26:36-31:26). He expects a high-scoring game but predicts that the Padres’ strong bullpen will help them close the series. Manaf: Agrees, predicting early runs and suggesting a first five innings bet on the over as the best strategy. Betting Advice and Best Bets: Griffin’s Best Bet: Tigers to win at home, citing a mismatch between Cobb's long layoff and the Tigers’ efficient bullpen management (32:06-32:55). Manaf’s Best Bet: Under four runs in the first five innings of the Phillies-Mets game, betting on solid starting pitching from Quintana and Suarez (32:55-34:37).

Griffin and Ben reflect on how this signals a potential downfall of SEC powerhouses like Alabama and Georgia, while Vanderbilt shows signs of improvement.

They discuss past Red River games, emphasizing how unpredictable the rivalry can be. Next, the hosts break down Penn State vs. USC, both agreeing the offenses are overrated. Ben takes the under 50 points, expecting Penn State’s defense to control the game.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest cards for the Black Desert Championship and Open De France. -Going over top 5 odds favs for Black Desert, -3 matchups, -1 t20, -2 outrights, -Sleeper, FRP, -Scoring prediction, -Best bet for Black Desert, -Open De France matchup, outright, and best bet. Will Doctor kicks off the podcast by reviewing the Sanderson Farms Championship and Dunhill Links Championship, followed by his predictions for the upcoming Black Desert Championship. Key Player Highlights: Kevin Yu: Secured his first PGA Tour win after a clutch 15-foot birdie putt in regulation. He climbed to 60th in the FedExCup standings. His stellar junior and college career at Arizona State laid the foundation for this victory. Keith Mitchell: Disappointed after missing out on a playoff due to poor driving and a three-putt on the 72nd hole. Mitchell admitted, “I only hit one fairway,” reflecting his back-nine struggles. Will Doctor points out that Mitchell’s driving accuracy will be less of an issue at the wide-open Black Desert course, but his putting remains a concern. Bo Hosler: Known for strong putting, Hosler lost the Sanderson Farms playoff, and his attempts to manipulate relief rulings raised eyebrows. Will criticizes Hosler for "trying to get an unfair drop," casting doubt on his ability to close out tournaments, especially since he's yet to secure a professional win. Event and Course Insights: The Black Desert Championship returns the PGA Tour to Utah for the first time in 60 years. The course has wide fairways and few hazards, likely leading to a birdie-fest. Will predicts a winning score of 29-under-par and emphasizes that driving accuracy won't be crucial this week. Picks and Predictions: Outright Picks: Lucas Glover (40:1): Despite a tough 2024 season, Glover’s recent form and improved putting make him a strong contender. Will believes his ball-striking prowess and past success set him up for a solid performance. Michael Thorbjornsen (40:1): Thorbjornsen’s ball-striking and ability to excel in birdie-heavy tournaments make him another strong pick. Top 20 Pick: Patton Kizzire: Known for thriving in birdie-fests, Kizzire’s consistent form makes him a solid choice for a top-20 finish at +240 odds. Matchups: Ryan Fox over Steven Yeager: Fox’s strong recent form and consistent play give him an edge. K.H. Lee over Justin Suh: Will favors Lee’s experience in shootouts, while Suh’s ball-striking has been subpar this season. Vince Whaley over Matt McCarty: Whaley’s recent improvement in approach play and McCarty’s struggles transitioning to the PGA Tour lead Will to back Whaley. Best Bet and Final Scoring Prediction: Best Bet: Lucas Glover to finish in the top 10 at +450 odds. Winning Score Prediction: 29-under-par due to the course’s forgiving nature and birdie opportunities. Will Doctor wraps up with his thoughts on the Open de France, giving an outright pick of Victor Perez to win at 28:1 and backing Justin Rose over Matthew Pavan in a head-to-head matchup.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 5 recap. The guys also look ahead to NFL Week 6 Steve Fezzik (0:48-3:36) highlights the recent uptick in scoring after a slow start to the season. He notes that, contrary to expectations, the kickoff rule changes haven’t led to more scoring, but Week 5 saw more offensive touchdowns. Fezzik suggests that this increase could be tied to offenses adjusting to defenses, which initially had the upper hand. RJ Bell (1:15-5:38) agrees, positing that early-season defensive strategies caught offenses off guard, but Week 5’s spike may indicate a shift as offenses find ways to counter. Fezzik believes betting the over on total points may now be profitable. Field Goal Trends and Red Zone Efficiency: Scott Seidenberg (7:47-8:47) observes a significant increase in long field goals. Through five weeks, 11 teams are averaging two or more field goals per game, up from just five teams last season. This rise points to field goal kickers becoming more important, even as teams continue to go for it on fourth down. The group also discusses San Francisco’s red zone struggles. Despite leading the NFL in red zone plays, the 49ers rank 22nd in red zone efficiency (EPA), a sharp decline from last year’s top spot (18:49-20:23). This inefficiency is a concern, especially for a team expected to compete for championships. Key Team and Player Performances: Kirk Cousins (6:15-7:47) draws attention for his steady performances. Fezzik views him as a borderline top-10 quarterback, but RJ argues that Cousins’ play this season ranks even higher. The group compares him to more volatile quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, noting that consistency is key. The New York Jets (13:40-14:20) come under scrutiny for their disappointing 2-3 start. Seidenberg points out that despite high hopes with Aaron Rodgers, the offense has stagnated, scoring the same amount of points as last season under Zach Wilson. However, the Jets' defense ranks second in the NFL, giving them a glimmer of hope for a playoff push. Betting Insights and Power Ratings: Fezzik suggests that power ratings need drastic adjustments after Week 5 (3:36-5:38). Teams like Washington, initially viewed as weak, have outperformed, while Cleveland has underwhelmed. Washington’s dominant win over Cleveland forces a reassessment of both teams’ strengths. The group also discusses how to handle quarterback unpredictability in betting. Fezzik suggests quarterbacks who significantly outperform expectations should bump the team's rating, but warns that quarterback volatility makes it tough to rely on any one metric. Phony Final Scores: Fezzik highlights "phony final scores" where the stats don’t align with the result (34:00-34:24). For instance, despite being outgained in yardage, Pittsburgh nearly defeated Dallas through turnovers and grit. Such games can mislead bettors relying on the final score rather than underlying metrics. Chiefs’ Dominance and Week 5 Scoring Spike: The podcast emphasizes the Kansas City Chiefs’ dominance (17:10-19:49), noting that they’ve played the fewest defensive snaps while trailing this season (48 plays), reflecting their ability to control games. In comparison, San Francisco is second with 49 plays while trailing. This speaks to both teams' dominance in holding leads. Finally, Week 5’s scoring surge (15:10-16:18) is noted, with an average of 50 points per game, nearly six points above expectations. While Fezzik sees this as unsustainable, the group agrees that it reflects a shift in offensive effectiveness. Conclusion: The podcast provides in-depth insights into NFL Week 5, from evolving scoring trends to team evaluations and betting strategies. With a focus on key performances, player analysis, and statistical breakdowns, the hosts guide listeners on how to adjust their betting strategies moving forward, particularly as teams like Washington and Kansas City emerge as key players this season.

Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik engage in a discussion on Fezzik’s results and key observations from Week 5. Contest Updates (0:02 - 5:04) Fezzik, a two-time Super Contest winner, reflects on his 2-5 record in the 2024 Circa Invitational, contrasting it with a 12-4 record for his clients. He explains that betting variance plays a big role, with numbers differing between contests and client picks. Despite his struggles, Fezzik remains in the top five but admits that improving from a 50% win rate will be challenging. Fezzik: “People were like how in the world did you go two and five in the contest but you went 12 and four for your clients?” (2:10) Survivor Pools and Betting Trends (5:04 - 8:55) Fezzik dives into Week 5 Survivor Pool eliminations, focusing on the unexpected losses by the heavily favored Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. He points out how underdogs have consistently upset favorites this season. Fezzik: “There’s just something about this season where five and a half to six-point favorites are falling flat.” (6:21) Phony Finals and Game Breakdowns (8:56 - 12:39) Fezzik shares insights on misleading final scores: Buffalo vs. Houston: Though the scoreboard appeared close, Houston dominated in yards per play and total yardage. Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville: Fezzik is baffled that the game was tied late, given Jacksonville’s statistical dominance. He criticizes Deshaun Watson harshly, suggesting that Cleveland should bench him in favor of Jameis Winston. Fezzik: “It’s time to relegate him... that dude is not getting it done.” (9:55) Quarterback Rankings and Player Evaluations (13:50 - 16:26) Fezzik ranks Jaden Daniels as the 15th-best quarterback this season and expects him to rise into the top 10. He expresses disappointment in Deshaun Watson, ranking him 32nd and labeling him as one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Fezzik: “I have him 32nd, four and a half points worse than an average quarterback.” (15:05) Power Ratings and Team Updates (17:05 - 20:05) Fezzik discusses teams that saw the most significant movement in his power ratings: Cleveland drops three points due to Watson’s struggles. Carolina drops one point, with Fezzik suggesting their defense is among the worst in the league. Fezzik: “I make Cleveland four and a half worse than an average team.” (17:17) He also addresses the Cincinnati Bengals, noting their defensive woes, though he keeps their power rating unchanged due to Joe Burrow’s strong offense. NFL Parity and Final Thoughts (20:05 - 23:05) Fezzik highlights the parity in the NFL, explaining that no team has been dominant. He considers Kansas City the best team but notes that the gap between the top seven teams is minimal. Fezzik: “The best team in the league is Kansas City, and they’re just barely...” (20:05) Conclusion and Vegas Tips (25:17 - 27:38) Fezzik concludes with Las Vegas recommendations, encouraging visitors to explore downtown as construction for the upcoming F1 race disrupts the Strip.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers break down NFL Week 5 from a betting perspective. Dave Essler also provides a best bet. NFL Week 5 Picks and Analysis The podcast opens with RJ Bell providing a quick promotional offer for 7- and 30-day access packages, highlighting the current hot streaks of various handicappers like Greg Shaker and A.J. Hoffman (00:11-02:25). Steve Fezzik then joins in, sharing his overall season stats, noting a recent down week but still being up +57 units for the year (02:25-02:30). The conversation transitions into analysis of recent NFL trends, with a key focus on load management in the NFL, a concept borrowed from the NBA. Fezzik notes that teams are increasingly conservative with player injuries, using the example of Justin Herbert, suggesting players are being rested for the long haul rather than pushed to play during regular-season games (05:08-06:34). The core of the podcast features the team’s "best bets" for Week 5. Fezzik’s five-weight pick is the New Orleans Saints (+5.5) against the Kansas City Chiefs for Monday Night Football. His reasoning revolves around yards per play (YPP), highlighting that while Kansas City has had success in close games, they’re not playing like a 4-0 team. He anticipates value in betting against Kansas City due to their perceived lack of urgency (07:09-08:17). Fezzik also predicts that Kansas City is overvalued, emphasizing that they will not have the urgency to maintain their hot start (08:17-08:50). RJ Bell concurs, discussing the Chiefs' success rate compared to EPA (Expected Points Added), underscoring Kansas City’s reliance on big plays rather than consistent performance. He highlights Green Bay’s reliance on big plays, comparing it to Kansas City's ability to convert key moments into victories, despite overall middling success (13:14-16:04). Further analysis dives into Patrick Mahomes' performance. Scott Seidenberg notes that Mahomes has thrown seven turnover-worthy passes, second only to Jalen Hurts, and this hasn't been a typical start for the MVP quarterback (17:48-18:10). Fezzik agrees that Mahomes isn’t playing well, making poor decisions, though he’s optimistic Mahomes will adjust as the season progresses (18:55-19:45). Fezzik's four-weight pick involves betting on the Rams against Green Bay, citing their tendency to rely on big plays as unsustainable. He and Bell predict a regression for Green Bay's offense, suggesting their early-season success is not built to last (24:13-29:09). The podcast also covers the intricacies of the betting market. Fezzik discusses how Rams wide receivers are decimated by injuries, downgrading their home-field advantage in Los Angeles, where 60% of the crowd is expected to support Green Bay. This leads to skepticism about the Rams' chances, despite their defensive struggles (31:26-36:00). Scott Seidenberg closes with an interesting stat about Patrick Mahomes, noting that when he's more than a field-goal favorite, he's only 38-43-3 against the spread (18:25-18:35), underscoring why betting on the underdog Saints is a value play.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college football betting for Week 6. Ben and Griffin are hot with best bets as usual. Overview: Griffin Warner and Big East Ben analyze key games for Week 6 of the college football season. They break down each matchup, offering betting insights and discussing player and team performances. Their analysis is geared toward bettors looking for an edge, with emphasis on game totals, spreads, and player stats. Key Quotes and Analysis: (0:06 - 0:31, Unnamed Speaker) Offense play fast. Defense swarm. Swarm and tackle. The opening motivational quote emphasizes the importance of out-hustling opponents. This sets the tone for a competitive mindset, reflecting the analysis that follows, where hustle and execution are key. Griffin Warner (0:32 - 0:55) Griffin welcomes listeners to the podcast, sharing enthusiasm for their recent betting success. Warner’s excitement about their “green-hot” performance sets the stage for the podcast's betting focus, encouraging listeners to follow their picks for Week 6. Team and Player Insights: UNLV vs. Syracuse Analysis (3:30 - 5:17) Big East Ben notes that UNLV is having a strong season, particularly after replacing their former quarterback with Haj Malik Williams, who has led the team to a 4-0 record against the spread. Key stats include: UNLV is 20th in rushing offense. Syracuse ranks 3rd in passing yards per game, with Kyle McCord leading their aerial attack. Ben points out Syracuse’s weak rush defense, ranked 94th, as a vulnerability. UNLV’s ability to get to the quarterback (10th in sack percentage) is also highlighted as crucial to containing Syracuse’s passing game. Ben confidently picks UNLV to cover the spread (-6.5). Missouri vs. Texas A&M Analysis (6:11 - 7:38) Missouri is praised for their balance on offense and defense, ranking in the top 20 for both, while Texas A&M’s struggles in quarterback play are noted. Despite Texas A&M's rushing offense, which accounts for 60% of their plays, they are only 45th in yards per rush. Missouri’s stout rush defense gives Ben confidence in his pick of Missouri +2, while Warner leans toward under 48.5, expecting a low-scoring affair. Betting Strategy and Predictions: Ole Miss vs. South Carolina Analysis (8:48 - 9:37) Both teams are analyzed in terms of their offensive styles—Ole Miss relies heavily on quarterback Jackson Dart, while South Carolina prefers a ground game approach. Ole Miss’s elite rush defense, allowing only 1.5 yards per play, contrasts sharply with South Carolina’s run-heavy offense. Despite this, Ben picks the under (53.5), believing both teams' strengths cancel each other out. Miami vs. Cal Analysis (16:38 - 18:28) Miami’s high-powered offense, ranking 4th nationally, is a key talking point. In contrast, Cal’s offense is weak, averaging only 20 points per game. Ben expects Miami’s offense to exploit Cal’s defensive weakness, particularly against the pass. He confidently picks Miami (-10.5), predicting a runaway victory. Final Best Bets: UNLV (-6.5) - Ben’s confidence in UNLV’s playoff push and improved quarterback play leads him to choose them over Syracuse. Washington (-2.5) - Both Warner and Ben agree that Washington, playing at home and with a strong tailgate scene, has the edge against Michigan, despite Michigan's solid form. Miami/Cal Over (55) - Warner anticipates a high-scoring game, especially given Miami’s explosive offense. Conclusion: The podcast provides an in-depth breakdown of key games, offering both statistical analysis and betting recommendations. The speakers back their picks with detailed insights into team and player performance, emphasizing specific matchups like UNLV’s rushing attack against Syracuse’s weak defense and Missouri’s strong rushing defense versus Texas A&M’s struggling offense. Their track record of successful bets adds credibility to their predictions, making this a valuable resource for college football bettors. Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite two recent top-12 finishes, his season has been underwhelming. Will advises against betting on him. Seamus PowerPower is also 25-to-1 but fares slightly better due to his global experience. However, poor iron play in recent events diminishes his chances, making him a risky pick. Maverick McNeelyListed at 28-to-1, McNeely’s inconsistency and poor recent performances make him a risky choice. Will believes his odds should be higher. Mackenzie HughesDespite winning this tournament two years ago, Hughes’ poor performance at the Presidents Cup makes Will pass on him at 28-to-1 odds, citing fatigue and inconsistent form. Nick DunlopAt 30-to-1, Dunlop is a promising young player with strong birdie conversion rates. Will sees potential in Dunlop but acknowledges the risks due to his inexperience. Key Matchups and Predictions Nick Dunlop vs. Eric ColeWill picks Dunlop over Cole at -140 odds, noting Cole’s poor driving and iron play compared to Dunlop’s consistency. Henrik Norlander vs. Chandler PhillipsNorlander, with three top-four finishes at Jackson, is favored due to his course familiarity. Will backs Norlander at even money. Rico Hoey vs. Sam StevensHoey is favored at -105 over Stevens, given Hoey’s sharp iron play and Stevens’ struggles throughout the 2024 season. Outright Picks Patrick FishburneAt 35-to-1, Fishburne’s strong putting and consistent fairway play make him one of Will’s top picks for an outright win. His recent form has been impressive. Grayson SigPriced at 90-to-1, Sig’s familiarity with Jackson and solid recent performances position him as a good value pick for an outright win. Best Bet and Final Thoughts Mack MeisnerWill’s best bet is Mack Meisner to finish in the top 20 at +220 odds. Despite a missed cut at Napa, Meisner’s comfort on Bermuda greens and solid iron play make him a great pick. Conclusion Will concludes with final thoughts on the Sanderson Farms Championship, offering listeners sharp picks and teasing future episodes covering the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and the Corn Fairy Tour Championship.

Munaf Manji, SleepyJ and Steve Reider talk NFL player Props for Sunday. The guys also preview two MNF games and offer up a best bet prop. Introduction Munaf Manji (0:12 - 0:51) opens the discussion for Week 4 NFL player props, focusing on key positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. He is joined by Steve Reeder and SleepyJ. Quarterback Props SleepyJ (4:01 - 4:51) kicks off by suggesting a prop for Justin Fields to go over 40.5 rushing yards. He highlights the Colts' weak rushing defense, pointing to past games against Malik Willis and Joe Mixon. Steve Reeder (5:42 - 8:05) suggests fading Jordan Love, citing his injury concerns and the tough defense he'll face. Steve predicts that Love won’t be at full strength and is up against a Vikings defense that recently limited opponents like CJ Stroud. Munaf Manji (8:55 - 10:30) focuses on Kyler Murray, suggesting over 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Washington Commanders. He notes how the Commanders’ defense has allowed two passing touchdowns per game to every opponent so far this season. Running Back Props SleepyJ (10:50 - 12:09) proposes a prop for Choba Hubbard to score a touchdown at even money, emphasizing his heavy volume of touches (26) in the previous game. Hubbard's matchup against a vulnerable Bengals defense makes him a solid pick. Steve Reeder (13:05 - 14:52) backs Bijan Robinson over 69.5 rushing yards, despite concerns over his shoulder injury. He praises the Falcons’ improved offense and highlights their upcoming matchup against a Saints defense that has struggled against elite running backs like Saquon Barkley. Munaf Manji (14:53 - 16:39) suggests Aaron Jones over 21.5 receiving yards against the Packers. Jones has been a consistent performer in the passing game and could shine again against his former team. Wide Receiver Props SleepyJ (17:34 - 18:51) recommends Kyron Williams over 16.5 receiving yards. Williams is becoming more involved in the Rams' passing game due to injuries to other key players. Steve Reeder (19:54 - 21:44) focuses on Josh Downs over 34 receiving yards. Reeder highlights his strong connection with quarterback Anthony Richardson, believing that the Colts will rely on Downs more heavily in the passing game. Munaf Manji (23:59 - 24:55) suggests Dalton Kincaid over 37.5 receiving yards, citing the Ravens' vulnerability against tight ends this season. Tight End Props SleepyJ (24:56 - 27:17) backs Travis Kelsey over 4.5 catches, noting that he will likely bounce back after a disappointing start to the season. Kelsey has consistently performed well against the Chargers, making this a solid play. Steve Reeder (28:32 - 29:58) takes an under prop for Kyle Pitts under 36.5 receiving yards, arguing that Pitts has not been a major part of the Falcons' offense this season. Monday Night Football Preview Munaf Manji (34:57 - 36:17) begins by previewing the Titans vs Dolphins game. With quarterback concerns for Miami and a struggling Titans offense, he and the co-hosts suggest a low-scoring game. Steve Reeder (38:32 - 40:09) believes the game will be dominated by conservative play, focusing on limiting turnovers and relying on the ground game. SleepyJ (36:18 - 38:27) leans toward the Titans but admits the game could go either way due to Miami’s unpredictability. The second Monday Night Football game between the Seahawks and Lions is discussed next. Steve Reeder (41:46 - 43:20) backs the Lions, despite the market moving against them, citing their stronger overall team and home-field advantage. Munaf Manji (43:21 - 45:01) agrees with Steve but highlights the injuries to the Lions’ offensive line and key players like Sam Laporta. Best Bet The group concludes with their best player prop: Jackson Smith-Njigba over 48.5 receiving yards. Munaf points out that slot receivers have consistently performed well against the Lions this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Match 6: Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele vs. Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im Analysis: Docter favors Cantlay and Schauffele (-145), citing Cantlay’s outstanding form and Schauffele’s recent clutch play. Sungjae Im’s poor showing on Thursday is highlighted as a concern, making this a lopsided match. Match 7: Collin Morikawa and Sahith Tagala vs. Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith Analysis: With Morikawa carrying the team and Tagala making key birdies, Docter sees the Americans as favorites (-140). Pendrith’s strong day-one performance is noted, but Scott’s lackluster play could be a factor. Match 8: Max Homa and Brian Harman vs. Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Jason Day Analysis: Docter criticizes international captain Mike Weir for sending Bezuidenhout back out despite his struggles. Homa and Harman (-105) are the favored duo. Match 9: Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau vs. Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes Analysis: Clark’s flawless play and Finau’s pivotal birdies make the American team (-115) a strong contender. Docter questions Weir’s decision-making in waiting until match four to send Conners and Hughes out. Match 10: Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley vs. Si Woo Kim and Byung-Hun Ahn Analysis: Scheffler and Henley (-195) are heavily favored. Docter believes Weir made a critical error by not pairing Tom Kim with Si Woo Kim, missing an opportunity to challenge Scheffler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg give out NFL Week 4 Picks. The guys deep dive into some of the leagues best and worst teams. Dave Essler also chimes in with his Week 4 best bet. Introduction (RJ Bell: 0:16 - 1:38) The podcast opens with RJ Bell commending the insights shared, specifically Steve Fezzik convincing him to back a game he was initially unsure about. The team then dives into a promotion for "Weekender" packages for sports betting enthusiasts, offering access to picks across multiple sports for $10, down from the usual $89. Analysis and Key Team Trends Jacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) vs. Buffalo Bills (Steve Fezzik: 13:24 - 16:59) Fezzik's top pick for Week 4 is the Jacksonville Jaguars at +6.5 against the Buffalo Bills. He critiques the significant shift in odds after Jacksonville’s poor performance on Monday Night Football. Fezzik believes the line overreacts to recency bias, citing how Jacksonville’s spread moved from +4.5 last week to +6.5 against a Bills team that is only a few points better than Houston. He argues that the number is too generous and sees value in backing the Jaguars. Quote (Steve Fezzik: 14:57 - 15:12): “It's the situational spot...you got a three and Buffalo team that just played Monday night...and you got a Baltimore team 1-2 needing the game like blood.” Ravens vs. Bills (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:30) Fezzik also notes an interesting trend where big dogs (teams receiving more than 5 points) are performing well this season, covering the spread at 14-2. On the flip side, small dogs (teams receiving 5 points or less) are 11-19-1. Fezzik highlights that his power ratings show no team being significantly better than others this year, with only a 5-point spread between the top and bottom teams in the league. Player Insights and Statistics Trevor Lawrence (Scott Seidenberg: 21:03 - 21:23) Scott Seidenberg notes Trevor Lawrence's struggles, pointing out his 0-8 record straight up in his last eight games. However, Seidenberg finds value in the Jaguars’ ability to cover the spread as a significant underdog, referencing a historical trend of teams who lose by 30 or more points and then cover as dogs the following week. Quote (Scott Seidenberg: 21:06): "I do think there's value baked into this line...I think that the public saw Jacksonville get absolutely destroyed, but they’re better than that.” Team and Player Statistics Favorite Trends RJ Bell provides macro trends on favorites this season, noting that favorites have gone 20-5-1, but larger underdogs (over 5 points) are outperforming smaller ones. This discrepancy highlights the unpredictable nature of NFL betting so far this season. Power Rankings Insights (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:44) Fezzik reveals that his NFL power rankings are tighter than ever. No team is rated more than 5 points higher than an average team, with New England being the worst team at -5.5 points. This compressed ranking suggests no elite team dominance, making the NFL season more competitive. Conclusion The podcast emphasizes sharp betting strategies, advocating for value picks based on contrarian analysis. Fezzik’s insights into power rankings show a very balanced NFL season, while historical betting trends favor significant underdogs. The group urges caution, particularly with betting favorites, and encourages listeners to look beyond recency bias. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for all five Thursday Fourball matches for the Presidents Cup. Follow Doc on X @drmedia59 for more on the world of golf Introduction and Overview In the podcast's introduction, Will Doctor sets the stage by bringing his sharpest predictions for the PGA Tour event, the Presidents Cup (0:15–0:42). His energy and focus immediately engage listeners, promising a detailed breakdown of Thursday’s Fourball matches. The matchups feature top golfers from both the USA and international teams, with Doctor providing his take on the betting odds and insights. Match 1: Xander Schauffele & Tony Finau vs. Jason Day & Byung-hun Ahn (0:42–14:57) Doctor starts with the first match, where Schauffele and Finau are favorites at -180 on DraftKings. He questions U.S. captain Jim Furyk's decision to split Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, who have a strong history together, but he supports the flexibility of pairing Schauffele with Finau. Despite Finau’s driving accuracy issues earlier in the season, Doctor believes Finau has improved and will excel on the greens at Royal Montreal. For the opposition, Jason Day's recent struggles—finishing 33rd at the BMW Championship and failing to qualify for the Tour Championship—are highlighted. Doctor is not confident in Day's current form, pointing out his ongoing issues with driving accuracy. Ben Onn, too, has limited success in the Presidents Cup, which makes Doctor strongly favor Schauffele and Finau. Statistical Insight: Day has underperformed in the Presidents Cup, and his driving accuracy has been problematic in 7 of his last 11 events. Schauffele and Finau, on the other hand, are in good form with Finau showing late-season improvement. Prediction: Schauffele & Finau to win. Match 2: Collin Morikawa & Sahith Theegala vs. Adam Scott & Min Woo Lee (14:57–24:30) Morikawa and Theegala are slight favorites at -135. Doctor praises Theegala’s performance in the 2024 FedEx Cup and Morikawa’s solo second place at the Tour Championship. Morikawa’s consistency, with 8 top-ten finishes in 2024, makes him one of the top players in the world. Doctor, however, acknowledges Adam Scott’s determination to improve his Presidents Cup record, which currently stands at a disappointing 18-25-6. Statistical Insight: Despite Scott’s veteran status, his poor Presidents Cup record weighs heavily, while Morikawa’s consistent high-level play positions him as a key player. Theegala’s form in recent events further strengthens their chances. Prediction: Morikawa & Theegala to win. Match 3: Scottie Scheffler & Russell Henley vs. Sungjae Im & Tom Kim (24:30–32:00) Scheffler and Henley are -142 favorites. Doctor supports Furyk’s decision to pair Henley with Scheffler, noting Henley’s stellar driving accuracy (5th on the PGA Tour) and top performances in major events. On the other hand, Tom Kim's form is questioned, as his recent performances have been underwhelming, finishing 52nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Statistical Insight: Scheffler, ranked number one in the world, paired with Henley’s accuracy, makes them formidable. Conversely, Tom Kim’s struggles this season raise doubts about his ability to perform at Royal Montreal. Prediction: Scheffler & Henley to win. Match 4: Wyndham Clark & Keegan Bradley vs. Taylor Pendrith & Christiaan Bezuidenhout (32:00–38:30) Clark and Bradley are favored at -112. Doctor criticizes Mike Weir’s decision to pair Pendrith with Bezuidenhout, citing Bezuidenhout’s poor form in recent tournaments. He points to Bezuidenhout’s struggles with his driver and short game, which make the pairing less competitive against the sharp form of Clark and Bradley. Statistical Insight: Bezuidenhout’s loss of shots in four consecutive starts is a red flag. Clark and Bradley’s more consistent recent performances make them the stronger pairing. Prediction: Clark & Bradley to win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college football week 5 betting. Griffin and Ben are ready to cash some best bets this week. They cover this weeks biggest games and more. Opening Thoughts (0:06 - 0:31) Speaker 3 delivers a motivational message emphasizing teamwork and tenacity: "Outblock them, outtackle them, outhit them, outhustle them...Leave no doubt tonight." This quote sets the tone for the podcast, signaling a focus on outworking the opponent in both football and sports betting, where preparation and focus are key. Best Bets Review (0:52 - 2:40) Griffin Warner and Big East Ben recap their Week 4 bets, reflecting on losses like Maryland failing to cover against Villanova. They inject humor, with Warner making a light jab about AI: "Ben looks very intelligent today, and we’re going to bring you some intelligent picks." Big East Ben humorously criticizes Maryland for losing focus in the second half, referencing their past basketball glory led by Juan Dixon and Steve Blake. This serves as a reminder that discipline and consistency are crucial, both in sports and betting. Game 1: Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State (3:47 - 7:03) Kansas State is favored by five points against Oklahoma State, a game influenced by Kansas State’s performance in Provo, where BYU scored multiple touchdowns via special teams and defense. Ollie Gordon's struggles are highlighted as Ben points out that a player with Heisman potential has been disappointing: "He has been garbage. I don't know why... Some journalist tweeted out he had syphilis." Though debunked, this illustrates how rumors can swirl around underperforming players, impacting perception. Game 2: Louisville vs. Notre Dame (7:03 - 8:16) Notre Dame is a six-point favorite, facing a Louisville team led by a quarterback with 830 passing yards in three games. Ben anticipates a high-scoring game due to Louisville’s offensive firepower and recommends betting the over (46.5 points). Warner notes that Notre Dame's earlier loss to Northern Illinois was a “black mark,” yet he believes they will recover, laying the six points on Notre Dame. Game 3: Georgia vs. Alabama (8:55 - 10:43) Georgia is a 2.5-point favorite over Alabama in what’s described as a potential “game of the season.” Ben anticipates a tight contest between two elite quarterbacks and suggests betting the over, predicting a high-scoring game. Warner, however, picks Alabama as a home underdog: "It’s scary to be against Georgia, but... I think Alabama passes that test." Game 4: Illinois vs. Penn State (10:45 - 12:45) Illinois is an 18-point underdog against Penn State, a team coming off a bye. Despite this, Ben backs Illinois, referencing Penn State’s mediocre record against the spread in whiteout games: "Penn State is 8-7 historically... 4-2 under James Franklin." Warner agrees, suggesting the game could stay low-scoring and backing the under (47.5 points). Game 5: Arizona vs. Utah (12:45 - 15:23) Utah is favored by 11.5 points against Arizona. Ben is wary of Arizona’s poor form, specifically their loss to Kansas State, but believes they can stay within the number. Both Ben and Warner recommend betting the under (48.5 points), highlighting Utah’s defense and the challenges Arizona will face playing at high altitude. Best Bets and Conclusion (17:40 - 19:32) Ben’s Best Bet is Kansas State minus five, taking aim at Oklahoma State, a team he describes as "broken." He calls for the end of Mike Gundy’s reign: "Chop off that mullet Mike Gundy. You are done this year." Warner sticks with Alabama plus 2.5, pointing out that the new 12-team playoff format reduces the need for undefeated seasons, making road games more manageable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor delivers the sharpest prop card for the 15th Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club (Blue Course). Stay tuned for Doc's Presidents Cup daily picks throughout the tournament. You can find him on X @drmedia59 In this episode of the Golf Preview Podcast, Will Docter provides an in-depth preview of the 2024 Presidents' Cup, offering analysis on team compositions, key players, and betting tips for the tournament at Royal Montreal. Overview (0:16 - 22:05) The Presidents' Cup is a biennial event where the U.S. competes against an international team (excluding Europe). The tournament features 30 matches over four days: five on Thursday and Friday, eight on Saturday, and twelve singles matches on Sunday. Historically, the U.S. has dominated the competition, winning every Cup since 2003. Docter doesn’t expect that to change this year due to the talent disparity between the teams. U.S. Team: The U.S. team is missing Bryson DeChambeau but remains strong with elite players like Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, both boasting impressive Presidents’ Cup records. Schauffele, who has a 6-3-0 record in the Presidents' Cup, is one of Docter’s top picks for the tournament, especially given the course’s emphasis on accuracy. Tony Finau is another player Docter highlights, noting his solid ball-striking and improved putting. International Team: The international squad, led by Mike Weir, faces a significant challenge without LIV players like Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann. Key returners include Sungjae Im, Si Woo Kim, and Hideki Matsuyama, but Docter questions whether they can carry the team. He also emphasizes the importance of Canada’s Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith performing well after their disappointing 0-4-0 records in 2022. LIV Golf Controversy: Docter criticizes the LIV Golf format, calling it a "joke" and blaming it for excluding top international talent from this year’s event. LIV players were not allowed to compete in the Presidents’ Cup, despite being eligible for other events like the Ryder Cup. Betting Insights: Docter provides several betting recommendations, starting with Team USA to win at -250. He offers three prop bets: Xander Schauffele to be the Top USA Point Scorer at +450, citing his flexibility in pairings and strong Presidents' Cup record. Tony Finau as the Top USA Captain’s Pick at +650, emphasizing his ball-striking and respectable team event history. Sahith Theegala to finish as the Top USA Rookie at +250, praising his recent form and energy, which will be crucial in a high-stakes team event. On the international side, Docter passes on many categories but backs Si Woo Kim as the Top International Captain’s Pick at +350. He notes Si Woo’s strong ball-striking, recent form, and history of excelling in team formats. Key Quotes and Stats: "The United States has won every Presidents' Cup since 2003, and I don’t think that changes this week." Docter establishes that the U.S. remains the heavy favorite, particularly with the absence of key international players. "Xander Schauffele has a 6-3-0 record in two Presidents' Cups." Schauffele’s experience and versatility make him a strong bet for top U.S. scorer, especially given the challenging setup of Royal Montreal. "Si Woo Kim’s ball-striking has been phenomenal over his last two events." Docter’s confidence in Si Woo stems from his recent finishes and history of delivering in big moments, making him a standout pick for top international captain's choice. Time Stamps: Introduction and overview (0:16 - 0:29) Presidents’ Cup format breakdown (0:39 - 22:05) Team analysis and key players (various segments within 0:39 - 22:05) LIV Golf controversy and implications (15:00 - 17:00) Betting recommendations (22:05 - 40:00) Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg and Steve Fezzik talk NFL Week 3 recap and more. The Week 3 NFL recap dives into key team performances, player highlights, and betting strategies. The podcast, hosted by RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg, and Mackenzie Rivers, opens with a breakdown of Monday Night Football, highlighting the Buffalo Bills’ dominance over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Buffalo’s strong defense and offensive firepower stood out, while Jacksonville’s early-season struggles raised concerns. A key focus was the Cincinnati Bengals’ disappointing start. Fezzik and Bell discussed how the Bengals, with a soft schedule, have underperformed, leading to a downgrade in their power rating. Their upcoming game against Carolina will be critical for their season trajectory. Meanwhile, Washington earned praise for exceeding expectations, showing solid defensive play and warranting an upgrade in their power rating. Fezzik shared insights into betting on in-season win totals, explaining how calculating win shares based on the likelihood of winning each game helps bettors identify value. This strategy is particularly useful early in the season, when teams' strengths and weaknesses are still being revealed. The San Francisco 49ers were also a major topic of discussion, given their injury struggles. Despite losing key offensive players like Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers remain competitive. Fezzik and Bell agreed that the team should not be significantly downgraded, thanks to quarterback Brock Purdy’s solid performance. A broader conversation on the NFL’s growing trend of aggressive fourth-down calls sparked debate. Bell and Fezzik noted that while going for it on fourth down used to be innovative, defenses have now adjusted, and this strategy is less effective. Betting trends also emerged as a central theme. Fezzik highlighted the fact that teams exceeding the ATS margin by 50 or more points in the first three weeks often struggle to cover the spread in Week 4. This applies to both the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, two teams that have dominated early but face tougher competition ahead. Bettors should be cautious of inflated lines following such performances. The Los Angeles Rams earned credit for their gutsy comeback against the injury-depleted 49ers. McVay’s coaching prowess kept the Rams competitive despite numerous setbacks, warranting a slight power rating upgrade. On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive struggles were dissected. Two consecutive weeks of being overpowered by strong rushing attacks from Alvin Kamara and Derrick Henry have led to a significant downgrade in their power rating. Bettors should be wary of trusting Dallas until they can shore up their run defense. As the discussion shifted to the Minnesota Vikings, the panel emphasized that their early success and dominance have inflated betting lines. While the Vikings have impressed through Week 3, history suggests they may struggle to cover the spread in Week 4, particularly against stronger opponents like the Green Bay Packers. In summary, Week 3 of the NFL season provided a mix of surprises and disappointments, with some teams like Buffalo and Washington outperforming expectations, while others like Cincinnati and Dallas are struggling. The panel shared key insights for bettors, stressing the importance of in-season win totals, ATS trends, and cautious evaluation of inflated lines. Looking ahead to Week 4, teams like Minnesota and Buffalo may face challenges, while Washington continues to rise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Skubal leads the AL with 17 wins, 221 strikeouts, and a 2.48 ERA, while Sale dominates the NL. Betting odds and predictions are key parts of the episode. Scott breaks down playoff scenarios, noting the Tigers' -370 odds to make the playoffs, with the Royals at -155. The Mariners are extreme long shots at +1200. Discussion moves to possible World Series matchups, with a Yankees-Dodgers series being the dream scenario, given the star power and history between these teams. Towers also expresses confidence in the Padres, seeing them as strong contenders for the National League title. Meanwhile, Scott shares his betting success this season, highlighting a 55.8% win rate over 369 bets. Key Points: Yankees are one win away from clinching the AL East. Orioles’ collapse since August 21 has dropped them in major metrics. The Tigers are tied with the Royals for the final Wild Card spot. Kansas City faces a potential playoff disaster after seven straight losses. The Astros have already secured their division title. Tariq Skubal and Chris Sale are close to winning the Triple Crown in pitching. Betting odds show the Tigers favored to make the playoffs, with the Mariners as long shots.

Fezzik upgraded Pittsburgh after initially betting under 8.5 wins. Defense remains key as they won despite being outgained by Denver.

Only Mahomes consistently delivers, while Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence have struggled, especially with third-down conversions. (10:25) Baltimore Ravens: Despite leading the league in yards per play (6.0), turnovers and poor late-game execution plagued the Ravens. Lamar Jackson's offensive line issues contributed to his inconsistency, and Fezzik downgraded them by half a point. (22:34) Denver Broncos: Although Denver outgained opponents, they failed to win due to turnovers and poor execution. Russell Wilson's flashes of brilliance weren't enough, as Fezzik pointed out their yardage success was misleading. (05:08) Philadelphia Eagles: Sirianni's decision to throw on 3rd-and-3 with 1:46 remaining in Week 2 cost the Eagles the game. Fezzik criticized the decision, calling it "a fireable offense," as Atlanta capitalized to win. (59:28) San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy’s Week 3 was a rollercoaster. Despite strong stats (319 yards), late-game fumbles and interceptions cost the 49ers. Fezzik questioned Purdy’s ability to handle pressure.

Fezzik emphasized Mahomes’ unmatched ability to capitalize on mistakes, setting him apart as the best quarterback.

Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik talk NFL Week 2 aftermath. Fezzik and Munaf also do a quick reaction to NFL Week 3 and talk Vegas steak locations. NFL Week 2 Recap: Phony Final Scores, Betting Tips, and Quick Reactions to Week 3 In this episode of Fezzik's Focus, Steve Fezzik and Munaf Manji provide an in-depth analysis of the key games from Week 2, focusing on misleading final scores, the impact of player injuries, and power rankings adjustments. They also offer their quick reactions to Week 3 and some recommendations for the best steak spots in Las Vegas. Phony Final Scores (02:34) Fezzik identifies several "phony" final scores where the scoreboard didn’t reflect the true game dynamics. For instance, the Las Vegas Raiders’ upset win over the Baltimore Ravens is considered misleading. The Ravens dominated in yards per play but collapsed late in the game, a recurring issue for Baltimore. Similarly, Detroit outgained Tampa Bay in yardage but struggled in the red zone, leading to a deceptive loss. Impact of Injuries (14:47) Injuries played a huge role in Week 2, particularly for the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The Rams were decimated, losing key offensive players like Cooper Kupp, leading to a three-point downgrade in Fezzik’s power ratings. Fezzik also points out that Bryce Young was benched in Carolina, giving the Panthers a two-point upgrade with veteran Andy Dalton starting. Betting Strategies (07:54) Fezzik emphasizes the importance of betting early to get the best lines. Using the Denver vs. Pittsburgh game as an example, he explains how the line moved from +3.5 to +2.5, showing that missing the best number can turn a winning bet into a losing one. Week 3 Reactions (18:16) Fezzik and Munaf agree that due to injuries on both teams, the best bet for the San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams game is the under. Both teams are struggling with offensive injuries, making it likely that scoring will be low. Steakhouse Recommendations (19:29) For those visiting Las Vegas, Fezzik recommends several steakhouse options. Ellis Island is his go-to for budget dining, while SW Steakhouse at the Wynn is a top choice for high-end dining with a great view. Key Quotes: Steve Fezzik (02:34): "Raiders got whomped on in the stats... Ravens collapsing in the fourth quarter, nothing new there." Munaf Manji (14:04): "Bryce Young has shown nothing so far. This is a two-point upgrade with Dalton starting." Steve Fezzik (18:16): "With all these injuries, the bet to make is the under for the 49ers-Rams game." Learn more about your ad choices.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the MLB Postseason races and have a spirited MVP debate. Summary: The Inside Pitch with Josh Towers - MLB Postseason and MVP Race In this episode of The Inside Pitch, Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg dive deep into the tight MLB postseason races and the heated MVP debate. They analyze division leaders, playoff outlooks, and key performances from players like Francisco Lindor, Shohei Otani, and Aaron Judge. Postseason Race Breakdown Scott Seidenberg (0:12) opens by discussing the current standings across the MLB divisions. The Yankees lead the AL East, while the Phillies and Dodgers are on top in the NL. As Josh Towers (1:46) points out, experience and mental toughness will determine who can handle the pressure, citing Houston’s dominance in the AL West. However, the Twins, despite leading the wild card race, may falter due to bullpen overuse and inconsistency. Francisco Lindor: Underrated MVP Contender Scott Seidenberg (11:43) makes a strong case for Francisco Lindor as a National League MVP candidate, noting his impressive stats and leadership as both a defensive and offensive powerhouse. However, Josh Towers (17:33) argues that Shohei Otani’s historic offensive season, with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, puts him ahead despite playing primarily as a DH. MVP Debate: Otani vs. Lindor The hosts debate the value of defense in the MVP conversation. Seidenberg (22:09) points out that Lindor’s two-way contributions at shortstop give him an edge, while Towers (16:45) believes Otani’s offensive feats make him the clear choice, despite not playing in the field. Yankees’ Aaron Judge in the MVP Mix Scott Seidenberg (15:16) highlights Aaron Judge’s consistency as a key reason he remains a strong MVP candidate. While Josh Towers (33:16) acknowledges Judge’s dominance, he also brings up Bobby Witt Jr. as a contender, particularly with his base-stealing and triple-hitting prowess. Detroit Tigers’ Playoff Push Detroit’s 22-10 record since August 11 is the best in MLB, as Josh Towers (37:02) credits the Tigers' coaching for turning the team around. The upcoming series against Kansas City is pivotal, with Towers emphasizing that if they sweep the Royals, their playoff hopes are alive. Conclusion As the MLB season winds down, the competition for playoff spots and the MVP title intensifies. Teams like the Twins and Tigers are fighting for survival, while stars like Lindor, Otani, and Judge vie for MVP honors, making the final stretch of the 2024 season must-watch baseball.
