NFL Contest Pod - Week 4 Picks !! Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL contests for week 4. Munaf Manji (0:06 – 2:21) opened by welcoming listeners, recapping Week 3, and noting that Circa Survivor lost 3,154 entries with 13,811 remaining, each valued at $1,355. He emphasized that fading the top five most-selected teams has been profitable as they went 2-12-1 ATS at Westgate and 3-12 ATS at Circa, with one entry leading Circa Millions at 14-1. Sleepy J (5:45 – 8:53) chose the Titans +7 vs the Texans, saying “I think the Titans are slowly building. Cam Ward is looking a little bit better each and every game.” He highlighted Houston’s lowest points per game, Tank Dell’s absence, Mixon’s struggles, and a weak offensive line. He argued Tennessee is hungrier and capable of an outright win. Munaf (8:53 – 10:08) agreed, calling the Texans’ line inflated, citing receiver losses, Nick Chubb’s decline, and predicting a fairer line closer to six. Dave Essler (10:09 – 10:43) also agreed, calling +7 too many points, though doubting Tennessee’s ability to win outright. Mackenzie Rivers (10:52 – 12:06) picked Buccaneers +3.5 over the Eagles, arguing “The Eagles have underperformed all season. If you look at advanced stats, they could easily be one and two or oh and three.” He dismissed Philadelphia’s late-game magic, noted Wirfs’ return, Mayfield’s strong play, and called the line exaggerated. Dave (13:27 – 16:29) agreed on Tampa, then picked the Broncos -7.5 over the Bengals, pointing to Denver’s defense being top 10 in yards per play, number two in the red zone, and number one in TDs not allowed per game, while Cincinnati averaged only 49 rushing yards per game with Browning already turnover-prone. Munaf (16:30 – 17:12) backed this, citing Chase Brown’s meager 93 yards on 2.0 YPC and Browning’s five interceptions. Sleepy (17:14 – 19:17) hesitated on Denver due to the spread, saying “I would much rather pick a dead number game” but admitted Cincinnati’s WRs could still threaten Denver’s defense. Munaf (19:17 – 21:45) chose Steelers +2.5 vs Vikings in Dublin, pointing out Wentz faces new pressure, Pittsburgh’s defense improved with T.J. Watt, and Jalen Warren emerged as a passing-game weapon. He predicted mistakes from Wentz would cost Minnesota. Sleepy (21:59 – 23:58) liked the Steelers too, stressing the importance of the 2.5 line in a low-total game, warning Wentz has struggled under pressure and “when you get a level-headed Aaron Rodgers, you don’t get five turnovers.” Mackenzie (24:37 – 26:52) disagreed, backing Vikings, criticizing Rodgers’ rankings (31st in PFF, 22nd in QBR), pointing to Pittsburgh’s poor metrics, and saying “Favorites do well internationally.” Dave (27:07 – 27:50) sided with Mack, calling Pittsburgh’s run game the second worst in the league and Rodgers incapable of carrying them. Survivor picks followed: Dave (30:12 – 32:01) took Patriots over Panthers, dismissing Carolina’s win as turnover-driven, while Sleepy (32:06 – 35:42) also chose New England, adding, “How many chances are you going to get to really play New England? I think the chances to play them is this week.” Munaf (35:42 – 37:33) added Denver and possibly Texans as options but leaned Broncos. Mackenzie (37:34 – 38:50) favored Detroit, citing a profitable trend where underdogs who win as big dogs typically fail the next week, saying, “The Browns traveling to Detroit get smoked. And I think Carolina also is going to be a little bit overmatched in New England.” The show closed with humor, coupon codes, and Dave joking about being offered Fritos for Chase Brown, ending with optimism about continuing to deliver valuable picks

SOVAM Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !! Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 3 recap. Plus, the guys dive into MNF Ravens and Lions. Munaf Manji (0:14 – 1:13) opened by recapping Week 3, noting the Chiefs’ 22–9 win over the Giants. He stressed New York’s failure to score a touchdown and hinted at looming coaching and quarterback questions. The Chiefs covered –5.5, the total stayed under, and the game was defined by defense. Mackenzie Rivers (2:25 – 4:13) said, “the Chiefs defense now three games in a row has been pretty good,” but highlighted offensive struggles with Travis Kelce at just 26 yards and Hollywood Brown leading in receiving. He framed Kansas City’s attack as steady but no longer explosive. Munaf (4:13 – 6:26) pointed to Isaiah Pacheco’s 45 rushing yards on 10 carries and Taekwon Thornton’s 71 yards and a touchdown. He noted Harrison Butker’s missed kicks left four points on the field, yet argued Kansas City remains in control of the AFC West. Discussion shifted to the Giants (6:44 – 9:26). Fans called for Russell Wilson’s benching, while Mackenzie criticized Jackson Dart’s limited usage and compared Malik Nabers’ inefficiency to Carmelo Anthony. Survivor contest carnage followed (9:33 – 12:16). Nearly 3,000 entries were eliminated after Packers and Falcons losses, leaving only 58 alive. Mackenzie mocked anyone who picked the Dolphins as “setting your money on fire.” Market moves (12:16 – 26:25) showed upgrades for the Browns (+1.5), Vikings (+1.5 with Wentz’s 173 yards, 2 TDs), and Colts (+1.5 behind Jonathan Taylor’s 102 yards and 3 TDs). Downgrades hit the Cowboys (–2), Packers, Bengals with Jake Browning’s 5 picks, and Titans for a 3–17 ATS record. Munaf stressed Houston’s NFL-worst 38 points scored in three games. The preview (27:13 – 35:18) focused on Lions vs. Ravens. Detroit was +4.5 after scoring 52 against Chicago, while Baltimore’s defense allowed 4.67 yards per carry. Munaf liked Jared Goff over 35.5 pass attempts, expecting volume. Both leaned Detroit +4.5. Closing (35:18 – 43:34) included Pregame.com’s $10-for-$50 bulk dollars promo, Mackenzie’s reminder that five of the last seven games with totals over 53 involved Detroit and went over, and a cautious lean under. They ended with best bets on Detroit +4.5 and excitement for the NBA season.

NFL Fantasy Football Podcast - Week 3 Sep 20, 2025

Show notes

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for NFL Week 3.

NFL Fantasy Football Podcast – Week 3

NFL Fantasy Football Podcast - …

[Rod Villagomez] (0:08 – 0:39)
Rod sets the stage: “It feels like it’s just started, and yet we’re fully into this with injuries and all of these things happening.” This opening stresses how quickly the season has escalated, creating chaos for fantasy managers.

[Munaf Manji] (0:40 – 1:57)
Munaf expands: “You probably had Joe Burrow… Jaden Daniels… Brock Purdy… and now you’re scrambling.” His analysis reflects the immediate fantasy impact of quarterback injuries, especially in superflex leagues, and sets up the episode’s theme: making difficult replacement and flex decisions.

[Rod Villagomez] (1:58 – 3:55)
Rod shares personal experience: “I have lost Brock Purdy, Jaden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy in pretty much one of each of my fantasy rosters.” This illustrates the broader point—injuries are forcing managers into uncomfortable waiver moves like starting Daniel Jones. The implication: adaptability is now critical for survival in fantasy leagues.

[Game Analysis & Stats]
Munaf cites James Cook’s breakout: “284 rushing yards through three games, four total touchdowns, 355 scrimmage yards.” Cook’s consistency demonstrates the value of recognizing rising backs early. He also notes Josh Allen’s “three passing touchdowns yesterday and no interceptions thus far.” On the Dolphins’ side, Tua’s regression is key: “He’s thrown an interception in every game thus far… four interceptions total.” The takeaway is that fantasy managers should consider benching Tua until stability returns.

[Flex Debates]

Cade Otten vs. Kyle Pitts: Both agree Otten may deliver more short-term fantasy relevance because Pitts is overshadowed by Bijan Robinson and Drake London.
Breece Hall vs. Michael Pittman: Rod and Munaf favor Pittman, citing Hall’s lack of usage and Tampa Bay’s elite run defense.
Jordan Mason vs. Drake London: Both back Mason, especially with Aaron Jones on IR, making Mason the clear RB1.
Tyler Allgeier vs. Rachaad White: Consensus leans Allgeier, as Atlanta’s matchup with Carolina suggests heavy run volume.
Keenan Allen vs. Xavier Worthy: Allen’s “17 targets, 71% catch rate, two touchdowns” firmly positions him as a must-start over a questionable rookie.

[DFS Lineup Build] (46:13 – 55:30)
They construct a DraftKings lineup, spotlighting Dak Prescott, Jordan Mason, Alvin Kamara, Keenan Allen, CeeDee Lamb, Troy Franklin, Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers, and Falcons DST. The discussion emphasizes value hunting—“Jordan Mason at $5,400 is a great play”—and strategic stacking (e.g., Dak with CeeDee Lamb).

Survivor Podcast - NFL Week 3 Entries Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor entries for NFL Week 3.

Survivor Podcast – NFL Week 3 Entries

Survivor Podcast - NFL Week 3 E…

[Mackenzie Rivers] (0:14 – 1:36)
Mackenzie opens: “No favorites have lost, essentially, at all this season… does that mean there’s a fundamental change?” He frames the survivor context—favorites are dominating, with field-goal favorites now 18-3. The implication is that while carnage hasn’t struck yet, it eventually will.

[Dan Rivera] (1:37 – 6:10)
Dan critiques the Broncos-Colts game: “Sean Payton… you deserve to lose. Your defense was manhandled all game.” His analysis underscores poor coaching decisions and Denver’s collapse. He emphasizes that despite chaos, his survivor strategy remains unchanged: avoid saving teams without attaching them to specific weeks and look for calculated creative plays.

[Mackenzie Rivers] (6:11 – 10:17)
Mackenzie ties league trends to survivor dynamics: “Teams are scoring on 41% of their possessions… an all-time high.” He connects higher efficiency to favorites’ success, explaining why survivor pools remain crowded. Yet he warns of regression, reminding listeners that waves of upsets inevitably strike.

[Consensus Pick Strategy]
The hosts weigh options: Packers, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Colts, Falcons. Chiefs are dismissed due to Thanksgiving/Christmas scheduling needs. Bucs are avoided because of injuries and Todd Bowles’ poor Week 3 record. Packers are sidelined due to uncertainty with Jordan Love. That leaves Seattle, Indianapolis, and Atlanta.

[Final Decision] (37:35 – 39:41)
Dan and Mackenzie agree: “Let’s make Atlanta Falcons the official pick.” They cite “least variance” and reliance on Bijan Robinson against Carolina’s weak defense. The implication is clear—the Falcons’ rushing attack provides the most stable survivor path, minimizing upset risk.

NFL Contest Pod - Week 3 Picks !! Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Lonte Smith talk NFL contest picks and much more. NFL Week 3 Contest Breakdown and Picks Munaf Manji (0:08 – 0:59) Munaf opened by setting the stage for the Week 3 contest discussion, reviewing Circa Millions, Circa Survivor, and the Westgate Super Contest. He emphasized injuries at quarterback across the league and noted that their picks could be used to guide or fade depending on listener preference. Dave Essler (1:00 – 1:12) Dave candidly admitted, “We did some good things last week, we did some bad things. Came out slightly ahead.” His honesty framed the cautious optimism for Week 3. Lonte Smith (1:43 – 3:00) Lonte joked about Denver’s penalty issues but pivoted into praise for Daniel Jones, noting, “They’re not trying to make him do things he’s not capable of.” He highlighted quick decision-making, mobility, and effective coaching as reasons for Jones’ improvement. Munaf Manji (3:00 – 7:13) Munaf recapped Week 2 contests. In Circa Millions, 24 entries sat at 9-1, while nine entries were 0-10 chasing the booby prize. The most popular Week 2 picks went 2-3, including losses by the Cowboys (-5.5) and Jets (+6.5). In Circa Survivor, 68 of 69 $150,000 entries survived, with over 16,900 entries still alive overall. He stressed the importance of contest line timing and teased upcoming Survivor picks. Dave Essler (7:14 – 9:30) Dave announced his pick: the Cleveland Browns. He reasoned, “I’ll never lay more than a touchdown in the NFL,” citing Cleveland’s defensive stats—holding Baltimore to 45 rushing yards and 25% third-down conversions. He also bet the under at 42.5, expecting a defensive struggle against Green Bay. Munaf Manji (9:31 – 11:16) Munaf confirmed contest lines at +7.5, echoing support for the under and highlighting yards-per-play stats, where Green Bay and Cleveland rank first and second defensively. He suggested it could be an “ugly week” with possible upsets. Lonte Smith (11:16 – 12:27) Lonte backed the Browns as well, noting Baltimore’s defensive touchdown inflated the final score. He stressed, “Dog and under with a total like this is typically one of the better bets.” He believed Cleveland could outright win if they maintained a ground game. Lonte Smith (13:27 – 15:02) His personal pick was the New York Giants +6.5 versus Kansas City. He doubted the Chiefs’ offense without Rashee Rice and believed the Giants could manage clock control through the run game. Munaf Manji (15:09 – 17:48) Munaf disagreed, siding with Kansas City, trusting their defense under Steve Spagnuolo and forecasting a strong Patrick Mahomes performance. He warned it could be a “flat spot” for the Giants after a tough division loss. Dave Essler (17:48 – 19:39) Dave leaned with Munaf, doubting Giants’ discipline and coaching, pointing out, “Wilson throws for almost 500 yards and loses… I don’t trust Dable.” He leaned Chiefs but hesitated at the spread. Survivor Picks (31:12 – 38:57) Lonte chose Tampa Bay against a Jets team on the road with a backup QB, calling Todd Bowles’ defense a bad matchup. Dave proposed the Bears over Dallas, criticizing Jerry Jones’ leadership, but also liked Tampa. Munaf supported Tampa and Seattle, emphasizing Baker Mayfield’s leadership and Seattle’s defensive edge against Spencer Rattler. Lonte also floated Baltimore over Detroit, citing Lamar Jackson’s history of dominance at home. Closing Thoughts (39:23 – 42:49) The group briefly discussed Minnesota, with Dave and Lonte agreeing Carson Wentz could be an upgrade over J.J. McCarthy, especially with Justin Jefferson needing targets. They closed with lighthearted banter about Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase’s relationship and confirmed they’d return for Week 4 with more contest and survivor insights

Open De France Picks and Predictions Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Open De France
-Discussing top 5 on odds board
-1 matchup
-1 t20
-3 outrights (50/1, 100/1, 125/1)
-Sleeper
French Open Preview with Will Doctor (0:15 – 0:28)
Will Doctor opens with high energy, promising sharp insights for the upcoming French Open at St. Nom. His words, “Nice to have you with us as I bring you the sharpest picks for the latest PGA Tour event,” set the tone for an in-depth analysis filled with betting angles and course breakdowns.

Course and Field Context (0:40 – 30:08)
Doctor describes St. Nom, a Robert Trent Jones design, as a “narrow thinker’s test” that has not hosted since 1982. He emphasizes its 7,000-yard length, tree-lined fairways, and small greens. His assessment, “I expect some pretty low scores this week,” highlights the scoring potential. He recalls its recent use in the 2022 World Amateur Team Championship, noting players like Wenyi Ding, Sam Bearstow, and Martin Kuvra, who all feature this week. Betting odds and past performance details underscore the predictive analysis, such as Julian Sale’s recent Challenge Tour results and Tom Volant’s top-10 finish at the Eisenhower Trophy.

Review of Last Week’s Betting Card (30:08 – onwards)
Doctor reflects on wins and losses, spotlighting Scottie Scheffler. He recalls backlash for betting him early, countering with “He is all about firsts,” noting Scheffler’s six wins in each of the last two seasons. His dominance, especially forcing Ben Griffin to fold under pressure, is framed as comparable to Tiger Woods’ psychological impact. Key stats include Scheffler tying for 40th on the all-time PGA Tour wins list and joining Tiger as the only two players since 1983 with six or more wins in multiple seasons. This contextualizes Scheffler’s place in modern golf.

Doctor also reviews struggles: Ángel Iora’s poor short game despite strong driving, Rory McIlroy’s doubles costing him contention, and Tommy Fleetwood’s rust. Successful tickets included Maverick McNeely’s top 20 and Oliver Lindell’s top 20, but overall, the week ended down 2.8 units.

French Open Favorites (Harry Hall to Minwoo Lee)
Doctor dissects leading contenders:

Harry Hall (12-1): praised for consistent form but passed on due to limited value.
Corey Connors (12-1): strong ball-striker with past success at La National but questionable putting; Doctor expects better live odds.
Jordan Smith (25-1): consistent but hampered by poor chipping, making him a pass.
Adrian Satie (25-1): recent hot streak, including near-wins, but poor national tournament history reduces appeal.
Minwoo Lee (25-1): streaky play and weak irons lead to another pass.

Matchups
Two betting angles emerge:

Tom Volant over Frederic Lacroix (-135): Volant’s strong iron play and past success at St. Nom outweigh Lacroix’s struggles with irons and putting.
Elvis Smiley over Julien Guerrier (-125): Smiley’s resilience and consistent cuts contrast Guerrier’s recent missed cuts and declining form.

Best Bets and Outrights

Martin Kuvra (50-1 outright, 2-1 top 20): Cited as the best bet thanks to regained form at Wentworth and proven winning pedigree.
Guido Migliozzi (100-1): A past French Open champion whose iron play is resurging.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello (125-1 outright, +750 top 10 sleeper): Veteran Spaniard showing renewed consistency, strong putting, and proven success in France.

Closing
Doctor concludes by affirming confidence in his picks: Kuvra as the anchor bet, Migliozzi as value, and Cabrera-Bello as a sleeper. His final note, “That’s the card. That’ll do it for the French Open preview,” signals readiness for the Ryder Cup next

SOVAM Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !! Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 2. The guys also discuss two MNF games. SOVAM Weekend Rewind and MNF PreviewOpening (0:15 – 1:02)

Munaf Manji welcomed listeners to the Week 2 recap and double-MNF preview, joined by Mackenzie Rivers. He promised instant reactions, contest updates, and best bets.

Munaf contrasted Week 1’s fireworks with Week 2’s defense-heavy slate:

“It took about 57 minutes for us to see the first touchdown of the game from Mr. 1, Tyler Algier.”

The Falcons beat the Vikings 22–6. Team stats: Falcons 326 yards vs Vikings 198; time of possession 36:32 to 23:28; turnovers 4–1 against Minnesota. Despite five red-zone trips, Atlanta settled mostly for field goals.

Bijan Robinson shined, but rookie QB J.J. McCarthy faltered with sacks and giveaways. Mackenzie noted his new fatherhood could explain the struggles, but warned:

“You do have to prove positively that you are an improvement over Sam Darnold.”

In SERCA Survivor, most entries leaned on the Cardinals (5,169) and Ravens (4,420). Steelers and Vikings picks led to hundreds of eliminations. In Circa Millions, top sides (Cowboys, Jets, Broncos) all failed, with only the Eagles cashing. Mackenzie marveled at long field goals:

“People kick 64-yarders in overtime… wow.”

Mackenzie’s top risers:

Packers – line moved from -7 to -9, driven by defense and Micah Parsons.
Bills – from -10.5 to -13 after dominating the Jets.
Colts – Daniel Jones looked sharp, Taylor balanced the attack.

Munaf agreed, adding the Lions, who dropped 52 on the Bears, proving Ben Johnson’s departure didn’t stall the offense.

Mackenzie listed three fallers:

Jets – QB Justin Fields left concussed; 3-of-11 for 25 yards.
Bears – crushed despite Caleb Williams’ 207 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT.
Dolphins – porous defense, Tua’s late INT sealed loss to Patriots.

Munaf added Bengals, with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury. Mackenzie said:

“A 4.5-point move from Joe Burrow to Jake Browning… probably the end of the Zach Taylor era if it’s three months.”

Munaf admitted a blunder starting Justin Fields, who netted 3.8 points, but his roster (Taylor, Neighbors, Adams) carried him. Mackenzie joked his own fantasy team was “trash.”

Texans -2.5, total 42.5. Injuries: Bucs missing Wirfs and Godwin, Texans without Mixon. Munaf stressed the Texans are 8-3 to the under as home favorites under DeMeco Ryans. Both leaned Tampa and under 42.5.

Raiders +3.5, total 46.5. Mackenzie liked the Chargers’ road edge and prep advantage. Munaf emphasized Justin Herbert’s dominance in Vegas, topping 314 passing yards in all four appearances. His best bet: Herbert over 253.5 yards. Both suggested Chargers could cover alternate spreads like -13.5.

Mackenzie: Clippers -8 vs Jazz in their NBA opener, expecting focus after off-court drama.
Munaf: Justin Herbert over 253.5 yards vs Raiders.

The hosts closed by thanking listeners, promoting Pregame.com’s Touchdown25 code, and inviting feedback, including prop bet requests.
