    On Tilt: SEC Sues LSU & Lane Kiffin + College Football Week 1 Best Bets

    The SEC's legal battle with LSU and Lane Kiffin is escalating just as College Football Week 1 kicks off — and the On Tilt crew is breaking down the controversy, the biggest betting lines and their favorite plays. Joe Raineri, Kelly Stewart and Ariel Epstein react to the SEC filing a federal lawsuit involving LSU and Lane Kiffin over conference rules surrounding former NFL players returning to college football. The crew debates whether the conference has gone too far, what the fight could mean for LSU and why the dispute has become one of college football's wildest off-field stories. Then it's time to bet College Football Week 1. The crew examines where the public money is flowing, including Georgia Tech, Rutgers, Illinois and Utah, and discusses the danger of laying massive point spreads against overmatched opponents early in the season. Colorado vs. Georgia Tech gets a deeper breakdown as Kelly explains why she likes Deion Sanders and Colorado as an underdog, while Joe targets the first-half under and questions how Georgia Tech's offense will perform without Haynes King. Plus, the crew dives into NFL Week 1 Survivor strategy, including a heated debate over whether the Chargers are worth using immediately and Joe's risky plan involving the New York Jets. Also on the show: reaction to the massive punishment involving Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers, concerns surrounding Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, MLB futures, and the latest sports-media controversy involving Diana Russini. Best bets: Kelly backs Colorado against Georgia Tech, Joe targets the Colorado-Georgia Tech first-half under, and Ariel delivers an MLB strikeout prop.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    On Tilt: Dabo Calls College Football “Embarrassing” as LSU Sparks SEC Outrage

    College football is back — and On Tilt is already living up to its name. Joe Ranieri, Kelly Stewart and Ariel Epstein dive into the growing controversy surrounding Lane Kiffin and LSU as questions swirl over former NFL hopefuls potentially returning to college football. With coaches and programs criticizing the situation, Joe argues everyone is overreacting to players who may not actually move the needle for LSU. Then it's time for one of Week 1's biggest games: LSU vs. Clemson. Dabo Swinney calls the current state of college football “embarrassing” and complains that the sport has virtually no enforceable rules, while the crew debates whether Dabo has failed to adapt to the NIL and transfer-portal era. Can Clemson's more experienced roster survive Death Valley at night, or will Lane Kiffin's rebuilt LSU roster overwhelm the Tigers? Joe makes the case for an LSU statement victory, while Kelly and Ariel examine the point spread, the under and how LSU's new-look offense could perform in its first major test. Plus, the crew tackles the latest NFL and fantasy football storylines, including Josh Jacobs' uncertain status, Jahmyr Gibbs' rushing outlook, Aaron Donald's return timeline and the latest Comeback Player of the Year odds. And they close things out with their latest betting picks. On Tilt is powered by Hard Rock Bet on the Sport & State Network. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    On Tilt: College Football Is BACK! Week 0 Best Bets, Bill Belichick’s Must-Win & Coaches on the Hot Seat

    College football is BACK, and On Tilt is getting you ready for Week 0 with best bets, upset picks and plenty of controversy. Joe Raineri, Ariel Epstein and Kelly Stewart break down Bill Belichick and North Carolina vs. TCU in Dublin, including why UNC enters as a sizable underdog, the history of college football games in Ireland and whether the Tar Heels could pull off the outright upset. Kelly explains why she's taking the points with North Carolina and even sprinkling the moneyline. Could Belichick already be coaching for his job? The crew examines the pressure surrounding North Carolina and the other major coaches entering the season on the hot seat, including Florida State's Mike Norvell and USC's Lincoln Riley. Then it's over to the NFL, where quarterback chaos is taking center stage. The crew debates Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns, Shedeur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel, whether the Raiders should let rookie Fernando Mendoza develop behind Kirk Cousins, and why the Steelers are carrying so many quarterbacks behind 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers. Plus, Ariel delivers a Yankees-Red Sox strikeout prop, Kelly targets North Carolina +9 against TCU, the crew looks at NFL preseason betting trends, and Joe makes his pick for Ravens-Commanders. And in one of the wildest stories of the week: a man allegedly convinced multiple women that he was a San Francisco 49ers player who didn't actually exist, complete with a fake signing celebration.
