Still No 'D' in Dallas, Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Like the Golden State Warriors & Weekend Best Bets Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a deep dive into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season-opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense marched up and down the field all night but were unable to capitalize on the Buccaneers turnovers and went just 1-for-4 in the red zone. Even worse, the Dallas defense was as porous as ever. On the flip side, Tom Brady continues to defy Father Time as he absolutely carved up the Cowboys. Were it not for all the turnovers, Brady may have hung up a 50 burger. The scary part about all this is the Bucs probably played a C-level game and they still never really looked like they were in danger of losing. Tampa Bay has an embarrassment of riches offensively; In fact, you could argue that they're almost like the Steph Curry-Kevin Durant-Klay Thompson Warriors of the NFL. Later, Jason closes the show with an extended NFL and College Football edition of The Best Bet!

NFL Division Winners, Wild Card teams & Super Bowl Prediction Sep 08, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason brings you his official NFL preseason predictions on the eve of the 2021 season. Starting in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas Chiefs appear to be locks of the century to win their respective divisions. The AFC North is the arguably the toughest in the conference, but an easy schedule will be the reason why the Cleveland Browns win the division and the Baltimore Ravens settle for a wild card berth. The AFC South is a dumpster fire and things are setting up very nicely for the Jacksonville Jaguars to become the next team to go from worst-to-first, while the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos ride stout defenses and game-managers at quarterback to the final two wild card spots. In the NFC, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers should be able to roll their rather weak divisions. The San Francisco 49ers have the deepest roster in all of football, and that should be enough for them to win a very tough NFC West. What's more, as mentioned previously, most of the teams in the conference are mediocre at best, so Jason is predicting that all four NFC West teams - 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals - will make the playoffs. And if you thought that was crazy, wait until you hear who he's picking to win the Super Bowl...

The $80,000 College Football Parlay + FOX Sports Radio host Bernie Fratto Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by paying homage to the bettor who hit a 14-team parlay over the weekend and turned a $10 bet into almost $80,000. WOW! Parlays are always fun and can be very profitable - provided you don't throw anything more than 'pizza money' down at the window. Plus, Jason tells us why Ole Miss' impressive victory on Monday night over Louisville proves once again that Lane Kiffin is one of the better offensive minds in all of college football. If Ole Miss can't navigate a tough SEC, quarterback Matt Corral could be in the Heisman race, and Kiffin could find himself getting courted by another upper-echelon program. Later, 'Straight Outta Vegas' on FOX Sports Radio host Bernie Fratto swings by to discuss which NFL week 1 games he's looking to wager on, why history says you should take underdogs facing a division rival in week 1 (Houston Texans), why historical gambling trends are only good when you consider the context of each game as well, why so many bettors are teasing down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Dallas Cowboys and parlaying that with a San Francisco 49ers victory over the Detroit Lions, why he's so low on Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles entering this season, why he's leaning on the underdog New Orleans Saints heading into their week 1 showdown with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, how the rookie quarterbacks (Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, etc.) could impact the gambling lines throughout the season, and much more!

Brian Kelly's Attempt at Humor, Week 1 College Football Recap + ESPN Fantasy Football analyst Matthew Berry Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick defense of Brian Kelly after the Notre Dame head football coach joked that his players should be executed after the way they played against Florida State. Can’t anyone take a joke these days? It’s not that serious. Speaking of serious, Producer Rob G’s UCLA Bruins put the college football world on notice after they dismantled LSU on Saturday. Suddenly, Chip Kelly’s Bruins look like serious contenders to win the Pac-12. Then again, all of this might be for naught given what we saw from Alabama in week 1; They are an absolute juggernaut and should be heavily favored in every game they play this season. Later, ESPN fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry swings by to discuss what it’s like playing in a fantasy league with Jay-Z and Chris Paul, why he’s down on Saquon Barkley entering the upcoming season, why he disagrees with Jason that Derrick Henry is in for a down year, why guys like Nick Chubb are better in real football than they are in fantasy football, why he’s all-in on Chargers running back Austin Ekeler, why it’s so important to try and draft a quarterback who can get you some points with his legs as well as his arm, and much more!

Pump the Brakes on the Buckeyes, Week 1 CFB Best Bets + Professional sports bettor Brad Powers Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the Ohio State Buckeyes' victory over Minnesota on Thursday night. Yes, OSU covered the spread. Yes, quarterback CJ Stroud threw 4 touchdowns in his first career star. But, let's not act like the Buckeyes were all that impressive in the win. They're going to have their hands full against Oregon next week. Later, founder of BradPowersSports.com and professional sports bettor Brad Powers swings by to discuss how he was able to grab the elusive 'middle' of the Notre Dame-Florida State game, why he loves the under on this weekend's showdown between Alabama and Miami given how loaded each team is on the defensive end, why it should feel like an LSU home game when the Tigers travel to UCLA this weekend, why he prefers to bet on games almost as soon as the betting lines come out, which week 2 games he's already looking to bet - including Ohio State vs Oregon, why there are certain sportsbooks that he prefers more than others, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special 7-pack - SEVEN! - edition of the Best Bet.

COVID is Taking Over Sports... Again + Fantasy Football analyst Evan Silva Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on how COVID-19, or more specifically, the health and safety protocols brought upon by COVID-19, is taking over sports for the second year in a row. Whether it's Cam Newton possibly losing his job in New England because he wasn't vaccinated or Urban Meyer saying the Jacksonville Jaguars considered vaccination status when deciding on their Final 53, it seems as thought every single day we have a new COVID-related headline in the world of sports. Later, EstablishTheRun.com founder and fantasy football analyst Evan Silva swings by to discuss how gambling and fantasy are so intertwined, why the Chicago Bears defense could give up big numbers to opposing wide receivers, why he expects Calvin Ridley to have a stellar season for the Atlanta Falcons, the dreaded 'Talent vs. Volume' debate in fantasy football, how the JK Dobbins injury impacts the Baltimore Ravens backfield, which rookie running back could become a league winner for you in the second half of the season, why he's lower on Saquon Barkley than at least one of his colleagues, why the decision to dump Cam Newton and start Mac Jones actually boosts the upside of every single New England Patriots skill position player, why it's hard not to be concerned about the availability of unvaccinated players like Lamar Jackson and Kirk Cousins from both a gambling and fantasy perspective, and much more!

The Upside Play on Mac Jones, Potential Landing Spots for Cam Newton & the Ben Simmons Problem Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the New England Patriots’ decision to cut team captain Cam Newton and name rookie Mac Jones their starting quarterback. This feels like an upside play for the Patriots. Unlike Newton, who is limited as a passer at this point in his career, Jones has shown in the preseason that he’s capable of playing several different styles. What’s more, recent history tells us that it’s usually a quarterback taken later in the first round that tends to pop early in his career because he’s surrounded by better talent around him (See: Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes). With a loaded defense and a revamped receiving core, Jones could see early success in New England. On the flip side, Newton heads into free agency facing a ton of uncertainty. Jason argues that there are probably just three potential landing spots for Cam: the Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are a familiar spot for Newton and they don’t have a legitimate franchise quarterback in place, the Texans are in desperate need of any kind of star power given how bad their overall roster is, and the Dolphins clearly don’t believe in Tua Tagovailoa. Finally, Jason closes the show with a quick thought on the report that Ben Simmons has demanded a trade out of Philadelphia. We’ve known for a while that Simmons and the Sixers were headed for divorce, but this news could help speed up the process. Only problem is, with Simmons threating to boycott training camp, will Philly be forced to take a lesser deal just to get their disgruntled star out of town?

Carson Wentz Can't Catch a Break + FOX Sports college football analyst Brock Huard Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Carson Wentz getting placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Even though he hasn't formally acknowledged his vaccination status, we can infer that Wentz still has not been vaccinated. What Wentz chooses to do with his body is his own business, but it is a bit confounding that someone with such an extensive history of missing games would further jeopardize his own availability by refusing to take the vaccine. This is definitely something to monitor if you're an Indianapolis Colts fan. Later, FOX Sports college football analyst Brock Huard swings by to discuss what's gone wrong for Scott Frost during the first few years of his tenure as the head coach at Nebraska, why he believes the UCLA Bruins could give the LSU Tigers a tough time when the two teams meet this Saturday night, the biggest difference between teams in the SEC and Big Ten and everyone else, what the big showdown between Georgia and Clemson this weekend could mean for the College Football Playoff, why the Seattle Seahawks felt compelled to make Jamal Adams the highest paid safety in NFL history, and much more!
