The Spread Zone | Louisville Lock Party, Rizz Redemption Arc, and Betting Vandy Again Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Scott Rizzuto, Anthony Stalter, and Tim McKernan are back in The Spread Zone with Week 6 college football picks and Week 5 NFL leans—featuring a passionate group lock on Louisville and Rizzuto’s attempt at redemption after a brutal start to the season. The guys debate whether to trust Texas A&M (again), why Vanderbilt keeps making the card, and how Penn State stacks up in a revenge spot. On the NFL side, they’re fading the Titans, firing on the Cardinals to cover again, and sprinkling moneyline value on the struggling Giants. With FanDuel locks in place and internal beef over conflicting sides, this episode blends sharp angles with unhinged loyalty.

The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.
