The Spread Zone | Oregon Blowout Watch, Steelers Revenge, and Mississippi State Mayhem Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

Scott Rizzuto, Anthony Stalter, and Tim McKernan return to The Spread Zone riding high off a 13–8 week with a perfect 3–0 sweep on their FanDuel locks—and the boys are fired up to keep the momentum going. In College Football Week 9, the crew unloads on Alabama, Cincinnati, Oregon, and Michigan State, with a full-on split over Texas vs. Mississippi State. NFL Week 8 brings even more spice: Rizz is fading Miami hard, Anthony takes a narrative-rich Steelers side, and Tim is still somehow backing the Giants. With FanDuel locks on the Eagles and the Falcons-Dolphins over, this week’s bets are bold, unhinged, and possibly genius.

The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.
