Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

Latest Episodes:

Lakers Are One Win Away, LeBron or AD for Finals MVP? & an NFL Conversation with Field Yates Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers nail-biting victory over the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. LeBron James was fantastic in the second half, but it was Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who made the biggest plays down the stretch. In fact, Jason argues that it’s AD – not LeBron – who is most deserving of the Finals MVP. Not only is Davis putting up comparable stats offensively, but he’s playing all-world defense. That’s not to say that LeBron hasn’t been fantastic (and Jason has a few choice words for all the LeBron Haters out there), just that Davis has been better. Plus, ESPN NFL insider and podcast host Field Yates swings by to explain why he believes scoring is up through the first 4 weeks of the season, why he doesn’t share Jason’s optimism about the Kansas City Chiefs going 16-0, why Dak Prescott has a massive payday on the horizon – even if it’s not with the Dallas Cowboys, why the New York Jets being forced to choose between Sam Darnold and Trevor Lawrence could be the most interesting decision of this upcoming offseason, and much more!

Chiefs Can Go 16-0, Super Bowl Contender Packers? So & The Hard Truth About the Texans Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason tells us he wouldn’t be surprised to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs run the table and finish the regular season 16-0. Have you seen their schedule? It’s not exactly a Murderer’s Row. Now, there are two things that could derail their perfect season (which Jason lays out very eloquently), but if the Chiefs are locked in 16-0 is absolutely in play. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to take a small victory lap after Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers rolled to yet another victory, and the guys wonder aloud why Rodgers still doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Jason also shares his thoughts on the Houston Texans’ decision to fire head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien. The Texans are 0-4 so the decision to axe O’Brien shouldn’t come as much of a surprise – and neither should the fact that another Bill Belichick disciple flamed out. But, even though Houston has a franchise quarterback in place in Deshaun Watson, don’t expect the best candidates to come beating down the door to become the Texans head coach. In fact, Jason argues that the soon-to-be vacant New York Jets head coaching job is actually more desirable. Finally, Jason closes out the show with a bang as he unveils the Tuesday NBA Finals Game 4 edition of The Best Bet.

Dumpster Fire Dallas Cowboys, Josh Allen for MVP?, Tom Brady Turns Back the Clock & 'The Jimmy Butler Game' Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the trouble brewing under the surface within the Dallas Cowboys. The 1-3 record is bad enough, but now Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott are taking subtle shots at other members of the team. It could already be the beginning of the end for Dak in Big D if things don't turn around quickly. Plus, has anyone improved more year-to-year than Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen? Allen is suddenly a top-flight quarterback, and the Bills are starting to look like a legitimate Super Bowl contender as a result. Jason goes on to explain why he’s been so impressed with Tom Brady’s play through the first month of the season. As the saying goes, age ain’t nothing but a number. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to recap the rest of Sunday’s Week 4 NFL action, and the guys share their thoughts on Jimmy Butler’s legendary performance in Game 3 of the NBA Finals to help the Miami Heat avoid the dreaded 0-3 series hold. Finally, Jason gives you two guaranteed winners in the Monday Night Football double-header edition of the Best Bet.

The M-E-S-S JETS JETS JETS, "Look at Me" Kyrie & NFL Week 4 betting with Ace Karalis Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason is forced to host through the tears after his beloved New York Jets put on (another) embarrassing performance on national television. How can Adam Gase still have a job this morning after what he’s done to this once-proud franchise? If the front office had any sense, Gase would be fired before you finish listening to this episode. Plus, Producer Rob joins the show to help make sense of Kyrie Irving’s decision to throw subtle shade at LeBron James regarding his late-game performance over the years. Not only is it clear that Kyrie is desperate for attention, but what he said was factually inaccurate. Later, professional sports bettor Ace Karalis swings by to discuss how certain groups are manipulating the betting lines at various sportsbooks, why he doesn't concern himself with out the public bets when he makes his own wagers, which NFL week 4 gambling lines he likes (and which he doesn't), and much more! Finally, Jason closes the pod out with a bang as he reveals the NFL Sunday edition of his Best Bet.

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers' demolition of the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. But more than that, he explains how a series of moves and a culture built around superstar LeBron James has put them in position to win the NBA championship. Jason also explains why the foot injury to Heat guard Goran Dragic could be the proverbial nail in the coffin to Miami's hopes of coming back at all in this series. Later, former NFL All-Pro and host of the 'Lights Out' podcast Shawne Merriman swings by to explain why he would've had a hard time adhering to the NFL's strict COVID-19 measures if they were in place when he was playing, why he thinks that Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons could be the most overrated and Joe Burrow could be the most underrated quarterback in the League, how he ultimately got the nickname 'Lights Out', and much more! Finally, Jason uses his head - and his heart - to explain why he's picking the New York Jets to cover in the Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Week 4 NFL Lines to Bet Early, LeBron is Feeling the Pressure, Heat Giving Off '04 Pistons Vibes Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason starts things off by giving you 5 good minutes on last night's Presidential Debate. Whatever side of the aisle you're on, you have to admit that it looked more like an SNL skit than a debate to help decide the leader of the free world. Later, Jason takes a midweek lookahead to the NFL Week 4 gambling lines and gives you the inside information you need to make money betting on the games. Sometimes the best odds can be found earlier in the week rather than later, and this week is no different. Plus, Producer Rob joins the show to help preview Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Is LeBron James feeling the pressure to win his 4th ring? Are we feeling a 2004 Detroit Pistons vibe from this Miami Heat team? Will the Lakers be able to handle the Heat zone defense? Finally, Jason closes the show by giving out his Game 1 pick against the spread in the Wednesday edition of the Best Bet.

Patrick Mahomes is the Steph Curry of the NFL, More Clippers Melodrama & MLB Playoffs preview with sports analytics expert Edward Egros Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason explains why Patrick Mahomes’ virtuoso performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football (386 passing yards, 5 total TDs) further cemented his status as the Steph Curry of the NBA. Father was a professional athlete? Check. Under-recruited out of high school? Check. Slipped in the draft? Check. Came out of nowhere to interrupt greatness? Check. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to discuss whether or not last night’s game proves that Lamar Jackson isn’t really an elite NFL quarterback given that he still hasn’t show the ability to win games from behind as a passer, and help make sense of the Los Angeles Clippers decision to fire head coach Doc Rivers. Now that Doc is out of the picture, will Paul George be the next man to go? And, why has Kawhi Leonard been able to escape criticism through all this? Plus, sports analytics expert Edward Egros swings by to help preview the MLB Playoffs from a betting perspective, and he explains why bullpen play is going to play a huge role in determining who wins the World Series, why the data supports the Los Angeles Dodgers being listed as the prohibitive favorites, why you shouldn’t be surprised to see the Cincinnati Reds make a deep postseason run, and much more!
