    CFB Week 12 Preview + Best Bets !!

    Griffin Warner and Big East Ben break down college football Week 12 from a betting perspective. Griffin and Ben both give out best bets. CFB Week 12 Preview & Best Bets In Week 12 of college football, hosts Griffin Warner and “Big East” Ben explore game predictions, betting odds, and the new 12-team playoff expansion. Balancing stats and insights, the podcast covers major matchups and players, offering listeners valuable betting advice. College Football Playoff Expansion: 12-Team Format (0:29-5:48) Warner and Ben discuss the expanded playoff model, highlighting its potential to engage more teams and fans. While the traditional "must-win" intensity shifts, the model supports more playoff contenders and allows teams a chance to overcome occasional losses without derailing their seasons. Texas vs. Arkansas Showdown (5:49-9:23) Texas, a 13-point favorite, faces Arkansas with QB Kaelin Green back. Ben bets on the over (57.5) due to Texas’ defensive inconsistency and Arkansas’ weak defense, predicting high scores. Warner, skeptical of Texas QB Quinn Ewers’ consistency, favors Arkansas to cover at home. Utah vs. Colorado: Comeback Test (10:27-13:54) Following a disputed loss to BYU, Utah, a 10.5-point underdog, must rally against Colorado. While Ben sees Utah possibly deflated, he trusts Coach Whittingham to inspire. Warner chooses the under (46.5), betting on Utah’s defense compensating for offensive challenges without QB Cameron Rising. Tennessee vs. Georgia: Road Challenge for Volunteers (13:56-16:45) Georgia, a 10-point favorite, hosts Tennessee, largely untested on the road. Both hosts predict Georgia covers the spread, with Warner expecting a low-scoring game under 48.5 points, due to Tennessee’s inexperience in hostile environments. Oregon’s Strong Away Record at Wisconsin (16:47-18:41) Oregon, favored by 14, faces Wisconsin. Ben trusts Oregon’s road performance, while Warner thinks Wisconsin’s slower pace could limit Oregon’s scoring, favoring the under (52). Kansas at BYU: Suspicious Betting Line (20:16-23:52) Kansas, a three-point underdog, faces BYU, which both hosts see as a “rat line.” Warner chooses Kansas to cover, citing their unpredictable away record, while Ben takes the over (55.5) due to close, high-scoring potential. Best Bet: South Carolina vs. Missouri (25:53-27:16) Ben’s top pick is South Carolina to cover a 12-point spread, given Missouri’s poor away record and South Carolina’s recent momentum. Additional Picks & Promo (27:26-30:09) Warner’s best bet is Arkansas covering against Texas, and he shares a $15 promo code “BOMB15” on Pregame.com. A sneak peek of the upcoming college basketball podcast adds a light-hearted close to the episode. Key Team and Player Highlights Quinn Ewers: Warner doubts Ewers’ consistency post-injury. Kaelin Green: Ben sees Green’s return as essential for Arkansas. South Carolina’s Momentum: Solid recent games make South Carolina a strong pick. Wisconsin’s Control Strategy: Warner anticipates Wisconsin’s slower style could counter Oregon. Kansas Road Record: Kansas’ away struggles prompt caution in their BYU matchup. Final Takeaways This Week 12 preview blends betting strategies with insights on pivotal games, key players, and the new playoff format. Warner and Ben’s analysis provides listeners with engaging, informative perspectives as college football enters its final season stretch. Learn more about your ad choices.

    NFL Recap NFL Week 10 + Week 11 Lookahead

    RJ Bell, Steve Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 10. The guys discuss who these teams really are at the midway point of the season. In Week 10 of the NFL, analysts RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg, and Mackenzie Rivers discuss surprising game outcomes, statistical insights, and playoff impacts. This recap covers the standout performances, stats, and key coaching decisions that could shape Week 11 and beyond. 49ers Narrowly Beat BuccaneersThe 49ers secured a close 23-20 win over the Buccaneers, though they controlled the game statistically with 413 yards to Tampa’s 215 and 6.8 yards per play. Missed field goals kept the game close, revealing special teams as a potential weak point. Chiefs’ Controlled Play Against BroncosKansas City edged out the Broncos in a tight game, leveraging a balanced strategy with both offense and defense ranked 11th in EPA. Mahomes’ team used long drives to manage the clock, emphasizing KC’s tendency to grind out close wins rather than pursue big margins. Steelers’ Defensive Edge vs. CommandersPittsburgh’s second-half surge continued, defeating Washington 28-27. Coach Tomlin’s experience against mobile QBs was evident, as Pittsburgh’s defense effectively handled Jaden Daniels, helping maintain their high defensive ranking. Ravens Outlast Bengals with Analytical PlayBaltimore’s efficient offense, ranking 4th in EPA, secured a win over Cincinnati, whose analytics-based choice to attempt a two-point conversion failed in the last minute. Analysts speculate Baltimore could be an AFC contender, though Lamar Jackson’s playoff track record leaves room for doubt. Giants’ Quarterback Woes in Loss to PanthersThe Giants’ 20-17 loss to Carolina cast more doubt on Daniel Jones as their franchise QB. Two red-zone interceptions underscored his struggle under pressure, making his contract a liability and pushing New York closer to searching for a new quarterback. Eagles’ Dominant Win Over CowboysPhiladelphia’s offense shined in a 34-6 blowout of Dallas, recording the highest EPA of the week. Dallas had the weakest offensive EPA, suggesting issues in consistency. The Eagles are seen as NFC contenders, while Dallas faces coaching concerns under McCarthy. Cardinals’ Offensive Success Against JetsArizona dismantled the Jets 31-6 with a record 91.6% drive success rate, exposing defensive weaknesses since the Jets’ firing of head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets have fallen to 32nd in defensive EPA, showing their reliance on Saleh’s defensive strategy. Lions’ Comeback Win Over TexansDetroit, led by Coach Dan Campbell, rallied for a win over Houston, demonstrating the team’s resilience under Campbell’s leadership. Despite five turnovers, Detroit’s energy and aggressive style proved pivotal in securing the win, keeping them in playoff contention. Conclusion Week 10 showcased the varied strengths and weaknesses of NFL teams. The 49ers and Eagles highlighted strong offensive play, while teams like the Giants and Cowboys displayed gaps in key areas. The Chiefs and Ravens are shaping up as AFC contenders, but both rely on close-game strategies that may face challenges. Meanwhile, standout performances by the Cardinals and Lions underscore coaching influence as teams head into Week 11. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Fezzik's Focus - NFL Week 10 Review + Vegas & Gambling

    Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 10 review. Sleepy and Munaf talk NFL product, Vegas and more. Key Game and Team Analysis Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints (2:47): SleepyJ critiques the Falcons' missed opportunities, noting their game stats were impressive with 11 more first downs and 100 additional yards. Yet, turnovers, missed field goals, and penalties ultimately cost them a game they could have won. Manaf echoes this view, emphasizing Atlanta’s struggle with discipline in critical plays, pointing out the importance of closing games for playoff hopefuls. Minnesota Vikings vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (5:21): The Vikings’ control was evident with 18 more first downs and 260 additional yards. SleepyJ calls out Sam Darnold’s mistakes, highlighting his three interceptions and the team's inability to convert strong drives into decisive victories. SleepyJ asserts that Minnesota's defense saved the game, given the Vikings' control over possession for 42 minutes. Detroit Lions vs. Houston Texans (8:07): SleepyJ and Manaf analyze the Lions’ turnover-heavy game, with Jared Goff’s five interceptions keeping Houston competitive. Detroit’s defense was key, as it pressured CJ Stroud into turnovers, though both analysts feel that Houston squandered a winning opportunity. SleepyJ laments sloppy play across the league, attributing it partly to inexperienced quarterbacks. Trends in Player Development Quarterback Development Concerns (12:06): SleepyJ discusses the impact of NFL teams rushing college quarterbacks into starting roles before they are ready. He believes this dilutes the quality of play and suggests teams should allow rookies a season to adjust to the NFL. This has led to disappointing careers for former high picks like Baker Mayfield and Jameis Winston, who are now backups. Team Insights Trending Up (21:36): SleepyJ identifies the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, and Pittsburgh Steelers as teams showing upward trends. Notably, Josh Allen’s performance and the Steelers' defensive strengths bolster these teams’ prospects for playoff contention. The Lions, despite a challenging game, continue to show resilience, while the Bills address wide receiver issues effectively. Trending Down (18:47): Teams like the New York Jets, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears have struggled. The Giants' poor performance in Germany against the Panthers and the Jets’ issues at quarterback with an aging Aaron Rodgers raise questions about their playoff viability. For the Bears, a poor record on the road further weakens their chances. Betting Strategies and Vegas Insights Betting Strategy During Multi-Sport Season (29:15): With various sports in full swing, SleepyJ emphasizes focusing on NFL and college football at this time of year. He advises against betting on multiple sports simultaneously to avoid spreading analysis thin. He also recommends sticking with familiar teams in other sports for more targeted bets. The Chargers Outlook (24:53): SleepyJ critiques the Chargers, calling them “fool’s gold” and the most overrated team in the NFL. He believes their success is skewed due to weaker opponents and predicts a potential losing streak. SleepyJ recommends betting under on the Chargers' win total, citing a tough upcoming schedule with few easy wins. Casino and Gaming Preferences Craps and Casino Preferences (36:38): SleepyJ shares his preference for craps over blackjack and roulette, enjoying the open-table atmosphere and less crowded gameplay. He avoids blackjack, finding it unfavorable and too dependent on the dealer’s advantage. For a more relaxed experience, SleepyJ recommends playing video poker at the bar for a chance to unwind.

    NFL Week 10 Player Props + MNF Preview !!

    Munaf Mani and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 10 player props. The guys also talk MNF and much more. In this NFL Week 10 betting preview, hosts Munaf Manji and SleepyJ dive into player props, team stats, and game analysis to help bettors make informed picks. Focusing on key players and team trends, they cover player props for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends, while also discussing the Monday Night Football (MNF) matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Rams. Key Topics and Bets 1. Christian McCaffrey’s Return and 49ers’ Playoff Strategy Munaf and SleepyJ highlight the impact of Christian McCaffrey’s (CMC) return to the 49ers lineup. CMC’s careful reintroduction signals San Francisco’s playoff focus, with the team prioritizing a healthy roster over quick wins. 2. San Francisco 49ers and NFC West Race The 49ers’ offensive depth, including Jordan Mason and George Kittle, positions them well for a playoff run in a tight NFC West division. SleepyJ notes that playoff-bound teams, like Kansas City, follow similar strategies by carefully managing key player health. 3. Quarterback Props: Sam Darnold & Daniel Jones SleepyJ picks Sam Darnold to throw over 1.5 touchdowns, banking on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ weak pass defense. Munaf chooses Daniel Jones to surpass 203.5 passing yards, noting Carolina’s struggles against passing attacks. 4. Running Back Props: Kareem Hunt & Jonathan Taylor SleepyJ bets against Kareem Hunt going over 72.5 rushing yards, citing potential fatigue after a 28-touch game. Munaf picks Jonathan Taylor for over 19.5 receiving yards, relying on Buffalo’s difficulty defending against pass-catching backs. 5. Wide Receiver Props: Ladd McConkey & George Pickens SleepyJ recommends betting under 5.5 receptions for Ladd McConkey, expecting Tennessee’s strong defense to limit his receptions. Munaf picks George Pickens to exceed 63.5 receiving yards, citing his chemistry with QB Russell Wilson and Washington’s poor pass defense. 6. Tight End Bet: George Kittle Over 56.5 Receiving Yards Both hosts select George Kittle to surpass 56.5 receiving yards due to his key role in the 49ers’ offense. Kittle’s chemistry with QB Brock Purdy and Tampa Bay’s weak pass defense support this prop bet. Monday Night Football: Dolphins vs. Rams Analysis The Rams are favored to win against the Dolphins in a high-scoring game. With Cooper Kupp and other key players back, the Rams’ offense has an edge, especially given Miami’s potential road fatigue following a close game last week. Best Bet for MNF: Devon Achane Anytime Touchdown The hosts pick Miami’s Devon Achane for an anytime touchdown, noting his versatility and frequent red-zone touches, especially with Tua Tagovailoa’s quick pass preference. Conclusion As Week 10 unfolds, bettors are advised to leverage accumulated data for more reliable prop bets. With detailed player insights and game strategies, Munaf and SleepyJ provide a roadmap for those looking to make targeted bets, especially on key players like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Devon Achane.

    CBB Friday Preview + Best Bets !!

    Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball Friday. The guys discuss this weekends action and give out best bets. "CBB Friday Preview + Best Bets!!" Podcast The "Need for Seats College Basketball" podcast hosts, Griffin Warner and Big East Ben, preview five early-season NCAA basketball matchups, offering analysis, stats, and betting tips for each game. The podcast covers notable players, team strengths, and home-court advantages, along with the hosts' recommended bets. Here’s a concise breakdown of the key insights. 🏀 Game Analysis and Key Points Kansas vs. North Carolina Kansas, ranked #1, showcases strong home-court power at Allen Fieldhouse. While North Carolina’s backcourt stars, including R.J. Davis, present a challenge, the team’s frontcourt is unproven. Griffin favors Kansas, but Ben anticipates a close game, making UNC a potential spread play. Houston vs. Auburn Houston’s home advantage positions them as favorites against Auburn, who often excels at home but struggles on the road. The hosts agree Houston’s depth and experience give them an edge. Both recommend backing Houston, especially given Auburn’s inconsistency away from home. Arkansas vs. Baylor Arkansas has freshman Boogie Flann, but Griffin and Ben question their overall readiness. Baylor, needing redemption after a recent Gonzaga loss, has the experience to secure a win, making Baylor a strong pick at current odds. Tennessee vs. Louisville Tennessee faces setbacks due to limited transfer success, while Louisville has strengthened its roster with notable transfers. Ben is confident in Louisville’s chances, seeing them as a sleeper in the ACC. Griffin still supports Tennessee under coach Rick Barnes, but Ben’s bet leans heavily on Louisville. Memphis vs. UNLV Despite a turbulent offseason, Memphis has a history of early-season success. UNLV, led by standout guard Dayton Thomas, presents a potential upset. Griffin doubts Memphis’s stability and favors UNLV as a home underdog, while Ben backs Memphis based on their strong starts in recent years. 📊 Key Team and Player Statistics Big East Struggles Against the Spread: The Big East conference has a tough start with a 2-10 ATS record. Houston’s Home-Court Edge: Houston’s returning lineup solidifies their early-season success at home. Louisville’s Transfer Boost: Key recruits like Chucky Hepburn add depth, making Louisville a dark horse in the ACC. UNLV’s Dayton Thomas: Projected as a future Mountain West standout, Thomas adds value to UNLV as an underdog pick. 💼 Best Bets and Betting Recommendations Houston over Auburn: Favoring Houston’s home-court strength over Auburn’s away performance. Baylor to Rebound: Baylor’s recent loss likely undervalues them, making them a valuable bet. Louisville as an ACC Sleeper: With a revamped roster, Louisville’s value against Tennessee stands out. UNLV as a Home Underdog: Memphis’s offseason instability enhances UNLV’s value at home. Conclusion Griffin and Ben combine in-depth analysis with betting insights, emphasizing stability, team chemistry, and strong home-court advantages. Their recommendations favor Houston, Kansas, and Baylor for early returns, with sleeper value in Louisville and UNLV. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    World Wide Technology Championship Preview + Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship outright

    -Discussing top 7 favorites in Cabo -2 matchups -2 outrights -Sleeper -FRL, scoring, best bet -Abu Dhabi HSBC outright For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59  The Worldwide Technology Championship (WTC) at El Cardinal and the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yaz Links feature prominently in this preview by Will Doctor on Pregame’s Golf Podcast. With insights on player form, betting odds, and course fit, the guide provides analysis and top betting picks. Event Overview The WTC at El Cardinal, Cabo San Lucas, favors high-scoring players with strong putting. It’s a prime opportunity for players vying for PGA Tour status. The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, however, brings a stronger field for the DP World Tour’s playoff stretch in Dubai, featuring players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood. Key Player Analyses Max Graesserman (18-1) – Graesserman’s recent hot streak with his putter is promising, though his approach stats (104th in the PGA) and lack of wins caution against an outright win bet. Better value lies in matchup bets. Cameron Young (20-1) – Although a skilled player, Young has struggled with putting and hasn’t won this year. Doctor believes 20-1 is too high given his recent inconsistencies. Doug Gim (25-1) – A top pick, Gim’s scoring capabilities and recent runner-up in Vegas make him a strong choice for an outright win, despite occasional inconsistency across four rounds. Bo Hosler (25-1) – Hosler has shown promise but struggles with iron play and final-round stability, making him less suitable for a high-scoring course like El Cardinal. Harry Hall (28-1) – Hall’s scoring average and birdie potential make him an interesting pick, particularly in matchups against struggling players like Tom Hoagie. Lucas Glover (28-1) – Despite good finishes, Glover’s weak putting makes him a risky pick for a course demanding birdies. Matchup Recommendations Graesserman over McNeely: McNeely’s recent struggles with the putter make this a favorable matchup for Graesserman. Hall over Hoagie: Hall’s strong scoring record contrasts with Hoagie’s driver and putter issues, making Hall the better pick. Top Outright Picks for WTC Doug Gim (25-1) – Doctor favors Gim for his strong recent form and scoring ability. Harris English (30-1) – Although inconsistent with irons, English’s putting and experience make him a good candidate in a straightforward course setup. Sleeper & First-Round Picks Carson Young (Top 20) – Young’s course familiarity and recent top finishes make him a strong sleeper pick. Rico Hoey (5-1, Top 10 After Round 1) – Known for low first-round scores, Hoey ranks well for a first-round top-10 finish. Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Pick Nikola Hojgaard (45-1) – Hojgaard’s familiarity with UAE courses and recent strong performances make him Doctor’s choice for an outright win at Yaz Links, despite a tough season. Conclusion Doctor expects a high-scoring event at El Cardinal, with the winner likely needing 25 under par. He places strong confidence in Doug Gim and Harris English for the WTC, while Hojgaard is favored in Abu Dhabi due to his experience in Dubai courses.

    CFB Week 11 Preview + Best Bets !!

    Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college football week 11 from a betting perspective. Ben and Griffin both give out best bets. 0:06 - 0:31 (Speaker 3): A coach emphasizes aggression, urging players to "out-block, out-tackle, and out-hustle" their opponents with a "no doubt" mentality. 0:31 - 1:26 (Griffin Warner): Hosting the podcast, Griffin recounts his recent betting successes, standing at 6-4 on best bets for the season, and aims to continue his positive streak. 1:28 - 2:41 (Big East Ben): Ben reflects on a tough week, expressing regret over betting on Nebraska, who struggled against UCLA. He notes Nebraska's failure to perform, underscoring a pattern of poor choices leading him to cautiously optimistic takes for future games. 2:54 - 4:16 (Griffin Warner): Griffin observes that as the college season progresses, certain matchups stand out as "easy" bets, although betting inherently carries risk. He mentions the public’s heavy backing of teams like Nebraska and Pitt, noting that such bets often flop, highlighting a need for caution in popular picks. 5:06 - 6:32 (Griffin Warner): Shifting to Florida vs. Texas, Griffin shares insights on Florida’s underdog status (+21.5) against a Texas team. While Texas has a strong defense, recent close games (such as their three-point win over Vanderbilt) suggest a potential vulnerability. Warner leans towards Florida covering the spread, citing Texas’s inconsistent performances. 6:48 - 7:47 (Big East Ben): Ben elaborates on Florida’s momentum, noting their five-game streak of covering the spread, including a close game against Georgia. He believes Florida’s recent form makes them a good bet to cover against Texas, adding that the team’s underdog status adds value. 7:48 - 9:12 (Griffin Warner): Griffin backs Ben’s optimism on Florida, acknowledging Texas’s tendency to play close games despite their top ranking. He adds that the 11:00 a.m. kickoff in Austin could impact Texas’s fan turnout, making the underdog Florida bet appealing. 9:14 - 10:08 (Big East Ben): Transitioning to Georgia at Ole Miss, Ben is surprised by Georgia's narrow favorite status (-2.5). He highlights Georgia's weak track record against the spread (2-6), indicating this matchup could result in a high-scoring game, so he leans towards betting the over (55). 10:09 - 11:43 (Griffin Warner): Griffin echoes caution with Georgia, noting that they often struggle away from home. He advocates waiting on the spread, as odds could shift with public betting, favoring a wait-and-see approach for a potential value bet. 11:45 - 13:06 (Big East Ben): For Vanderbilt vs. South Carolina, Ben sees a "letdown spot" for South Carolina, who recently bested Texas A&M. He praises Vanderbilt’s disciplined gameplay and suggests they could surprise South Carolina, proposing Vanderbilt +3.5 as a solid pick. 13:06 - 14:00 (Griffin Warner): Griffin supports Ben's Vanderbilt pick, attributing their steadiness to a lack of turnovers. He suggests Vanderbilt could capitalize on South Carolina’s post-victory vulnerability, recommending +3.5 for Vanderbilt. 14:01 - 15:53 (Big East Ben and Griffin Warner): The duo discusses Colorado’s game at Texas Tech, with Ben recalling Colorado’s consistent recent form. He highlights their playoff aspirations and ability to win on the road, favoring Colorado to cover the -3.5 spread. 15:53 - 17:43 (Griffin Warner): Griffin, however, is skeptical about Colorado’s spread value, suggesting that while Colorado may cover, he sees potential in betting the over (63) given Texas Tech’s weak defense. 17:43 - 20:10 (Big East Ben and Griffin Warner): Looking to Alabama vs. LSU, they agree this game will be tightly contested. Ben highlights LSU’s home-field advantage, and they both advocate for betting on LSU to cover the three-point spread (+3) in a challenging night game. Learn more about your ad choices.
