    UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Burns - Las Vegas Reopening

    0:00 Intro 1:48 UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Burns After a week off, the UFC is back this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Burns. That means it is time for another episode of the Sharp Edges podcast. Calvin and Brandon are back to discuss this weekend’s card that features plenty of young rising talent, as well as a number of juicy underdog bets to cash in on. After a brief discussion about the reopening of Las Vegas, Calvin and Brandon begin talking about this weekend’s card, starting with the very first fight of the prelims. The second bout, between Louis Smolka and Casey Kenney is the first one we see where Calvin and Brandon have some betting action. In the third bout, both Calvin and Brandon are in agreement on who to bet on in the bout between Tim Elliot and Brandon Royval. After a couple of more prelim discussions, Calvin and Brandon turn their focus on to the main card bouts. Mackenzie Derns is one of the biggest favorites on this weekend’s cards, but is her opponent Hannah Cifers actually the better bet? Roosevelt Roberts is another fighter who is highly favored as he takes on a tough Brok Weaver. However, Calvin and Brandon are both a little skeptical of this line. Spike Carlyle is the name to keep an eye on this weekend. Can he take down Billy Quarantillo with another quick knockout as he did in his last fight? The co-main event is our only Heavyweight bout on this card. Brandon leans one way while Calvin leans the other in a bout between Blagoy Ivanov and Augusto Sakai. Finally, in the main event, both Calvin and Brandon agree that either Tyron Woodley or Gilbert Burns is their best bet of the weekend. Who is it? With more UFC events coming for four straight weeks, listen in for more Sharp Edges podcast episodes each of the next four Fridays!

Calvin and Brandon cover every fight and give their opinions on each fighter. Which fighters were the most impressive and which ones looked like they didn’t even belong in the octagon.

    Coronavirus Talk - UFC 249 - UFC Fight Night Smith vs Teixeira

    0:00 Intro 1:32 Coronavirus Talk 19:05 UFC 249 54:50 UFC 249 Best Bets 55:51 UFC Fight Night Smith vs Teixeira After a two month hiatus, Calvin and Brandon are back for another episode of the Sharp Edges podcast. It’s been a long two months but we finally have some live sports action this weekend in the United States as the UFC is set to return on May 9th. This week’s episode starts off with some talk about the current Coronavirus issue. Brandon has been doing some extensive research over the past couple of months and gives his input on how he feels the Coronavirus situation will pan out. Calvin, on the other hand, just hopes that sports will get back to normal sooner rather than later. Taking a look at the first live sporting event in the United States in nearly two months, Calvin and Brandon go through every match set on the UFC 249 card. Even the early prelim fights have some solid matches, one of which really intrigues Brandon. Heading into the second wave of prelims, the card starts to get stacked. Brandon’s favorite pick of the card was set for the prelim fights. However, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza tested positive for Coronavirus shortly after the podcast was recorded. Therefore, his match with Uriah Hall has been canceled. Once we get to the main card, we are treated with two title fights. However, Calvin’s favorite fight of the entire card isn’t one of those title fights. Instead, Calvin is excited to see an all-out brawl between two of the biggest hitters in MMA history when Francis Ngannou takes on Jairzinho Rozenstruik. After giving out their favorite picks of the entire UFC 249 event, Calvin and Brandon take a quick look ahead to UFC Fight Night: Smith vs Teixeira which will take place on Wednesday, May 13th. Listen in to see who you should be betting on this weekend and next week. Come back next Friday as Calvin and Brandon will have more updated talks on the Coronavirus and discuss next weekend’s UFC event.

It’s not just all basketball, as they talk some XFL action, Brandon informs you on some UFC action this weekend and Calvin talks a little Premier League Darts action. Wichita State and Memphis lead off the college basketball card. It’s a big AAC matchup for both teams but Memphis needs this game more. They are small favorites at home. Can they get the crucial revenge win or will their season be in jeopardy? New Mexico and Utah State battle in the Mountain West tournament. The Lobos defeated the Aggies just last week. Can Utah State rebound and cover the big double-digit spread? In the Pac-12, Washington State takes on a struggling Arizona. The Wildcats have lost their last three-game and the Cougars have struggled all year. Is there a good spread bet in this one or should you focus on the total instead? In another Pac-12 game, Cal takes on Oregon. The Ducks are still looking to at least get a share of the Pac-12 regular-season title. It’s another double-digit spread game but the total appears to be a better bet in this one. XFL Week 5 is this weekend and Calvin continues to bet a couple of small games per weekend. Brandon is still doing some reconnaissance on the XFL before he begins betting. If you’re into betting the XFL listen in to a couple of Calvin’s suggestions and see if you want to fade or follow.

    Wilder vs Fury 2 Recap - College Basketball Betting Picks - XFL Week 4 Betting Picks - UFC Fight Night 169

    0:00 Intro 4:14 Wilder-Fury 2 Recap 12:22 Ohio State/Nebraska 18:45 Arizona/USC 23:50 Saint Mary’s/Santa Clara 26:22 Oregon State/Oregon 34:00 XFL Week 4 37:05 UFC Fight Night 169 51:37 Best Bets Calvin and Brandon kick off another episode of the Sharp Edges podcast with a recap of last week’s action, including the Deontay Wilder/Tyson Fury “fight”. Then Calvin and Brandon look at some Thursday night college basketball games and also discuss some futures bets for the NCAA championship. A quick look at some XFL and then a few fights from this weekend’s UFC card close out the show. Calvin and Brandon recap the Wilder/Fury fight and how they both failed to make a good read on the fight. Fury dominated Wilder from the start so bad that Calvin doesn’t even consider it a fight as much as he does a beatdown. Fury is the top dog in boxing and Calvin and Brandon both look forward to what comes next in his career. The college basketball card starts off with some Big Ten action between Ohio State and Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have struggled all year and Ohio State has been up and down, so can the Buckeyes cover the big spread? In the PAC-12, Calvin’s darkhorse team Arizona takes on USC. For the first time in a while, Calvin and Brandon have strong opposite opinions on a game. Who wins this one? The next college basketball game comes out on the west coast as Saint Mary’s takes on Santa Clara. Santa Clara won the first meeting, at Saint Mary’s, can the Gaels get revenge or will they fall again? The final game of the episode is another PAC-12 game as in-state rivals Oregon State and Oregon battle it out. The Beavers upset the Ducks in the last game and now the Ducks are 10-point favorites. Can they really cover that high of a spread? As a bonus, Calvin and Brandon look at some of the NCAA futures bets and whom they think provide some solid value. Also, what are some good strategies for betting on futures? Three weeks of the XFL season are in the books. Viewership is continuing to drop but both Calvin and Brandon like to tune in on weekends and check out some games. Calvin has two picks he likes this weekend for some small dough bets. Brandon, on the other hand, is going to continue to spectate without any action, for now. Another weekend another UFC card. This weekend it is UFC Fight Night 169. The card isn’t the strongest but there is a title fight and Brandon has a few fights that he has his eye on. After looking into a few fights, Calvin and Brandon bring out their best bets of the week. They each have one UFC pick that they agree on and then their own CBB game. Listen in and get some winners. CBB formula picks are 20-10-1 over the last five episodes, so don’t miss them!

Calvin and Brandon look at a few college basketball games for Thursday night. Then, they head over to the XFL to discuss what picks they favor for this weekend. Finally, they close out the episode with some UFC action followed by some discussion about this weekend’s mega-fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. Starting off with college basketball, Calvin and Brandon take a look at a few games scheduled for tonight. Starting with UConn and Temple, Calvin likes one team to win this game outright despite recent line movements. Heading out to the Pac-12, the two cover a match between a disappointing Oregon State and a rising Arizona. Can the Wildcats cover the double-digit spread? The third game is a WCC contest between San Francisco and Gonzaga. Gonzaga only won by four in their last meeting, can they really win by 18+ points tonight? Finally, Calvin adds in six more picks that his formula likes tonight. Calvin’s CBB formula is 16-7 in the last four weeks on the Sharp Edges Podcast so make sure to listen in and get those winners! Week 3 of the XFL is this weekend. After two weeks we start to see the league slowly take shape as we are finding out which teams are contenders and which are pretenders. Between the weekends four games, Calvin and Brandon each found two picks that they really like. Brandon even has some insight from some of the sharpest minds in Vegas and who they are rolling with this weekend. We got another UFC card this weekend as UFC Fight Night 168 takes place in New Zealand. Brandon believes this is a sneaky good card with some fights that could be very entertaining. Throughout the whole card, Brandon has three or four fights that he really likes and will be putting his money on. Calvin sees two fights of his own that he likes and will be betting as well. Finally, Calvin and Brandon take a look at this weekend’s mega-fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. It’s a rematch of the fight that ended in a draw more than a year ago. Many believe this will be one of the biggest boxing matches in over a decade and Calvin and Brandon agree. Who do they think has the upper hand in this match? They both are declaring this boxing match one of their best bets followed by Brandon’s UFC best bet and Calvin’s CBB best bet. Can’t get enough free winners?

    College Basketball Betting Picks - XFL Betting Picks - UFC Fight Night 167 - Premier League Darts

    0:00 Intro/Recap 2:36 Wichita State/UCF 5:33 Memphis/Cincinnati 8:20 Iowa/Indiana 12:31 Colorado/Oregon 16:12 Two CBB Formula favorites 16:46 UFC Fight Night 167 36:08 XFL 42:29 Premier League 44:37 Best Bets We’re about halfway through the month of February which means college basketball is starting to get closer to tournament time. Calvin and Brandon take a look at some games tonight that could be key in deciding what teams will be dancing come March and which ones will be sitting at home watching like the rest of us. The XFL had a successful first week and Calvin and Brandon are ready to discuss a few picks this weekend as they take their first crack at the new league. Brandon has another UFC event this weekend he wants to discuss and Calvin has a surprising sport to talk about at the end of the show. Starting off with college basketball, Calvin and Brandon take a look at two AAC games. The first one is Wichita State and UCF. Wichita State has lost their last three games but is favored tonight. Can they not only get the win but the cover tonight or will they continue to slide? The next AAC game is Cincinnati against Memphis. The Tigers won the last meeting but the Bearcats are huge favorites tonight. Who gets the cover? In the Big Ten, Calvin and Brandon take a look at a matchup between Iowa and Indiana. Iowa is a ranked team now while Indiana has been tanking of late. The Hoosiers are a small favorite and they need this game for their tournament resume`, can they pull it off? Out in the Pac-12, two ranked teams in Oregon and Colorado face off. Colorado got the best of Oregon last month, can the Ducks get their revenge? Calvin throws in two more quick picks that his formula absolutely loves tonight. The CBB formula is 12-5 over the last three Sharp Edges Podcasts. It’s time to jump on the hype train! Brandon takes a look at some key UFC fights this weekend. After seeing a bad showing by the judges last week, Brandon is looking forward to this weekend’s card with better fights and better judging. Anderson and Blachowicz meet in the main event with the winner moving one step closer to taking on Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title. A few other fights caught Brandon’s eye this week as he is expecting a solid card from top to bottom. Week two of the XFL is just two days away. All eight teams will be in action again and Calvin and Brandon take some quick looks at this weekend’s matchups after discussing last week’s results. Calvin won his only XFL bet last week, now he is taking a stab at all four games with Brandon liking a couple himself. Before taking a look at their best bets for the week, Calvin throws in some Premier League Darts action. Week 2 of the Premier League is Thursday afternoon and Calvin quickly gives you his winners for all five matches. Never bet darts before? Neither has Brandon but Calvin has been doing it for years. Listen in, get your picks and see for yourself if darts is entertaining (and profitable) enough for you to become a fan. As always, the two share their best bets for the week to close out the show. Best of luck to everyone on their bets this weekend!
