SleepyJ and Mean Gene talk UFC betting for UFC 322 Madalena vs Makachev headlines a stacked UFC 322 card from MSG, with Sleepy J and Mean Gene breaking down eight fights. They agree early on Erin Blanchfield vs Tracy Cortez, both backing Blanchfield due to improved striking, strength, and ability to control exchanges despite Cortez winning their pre-UFC meeting. They also align on Roman Kopylov as a live underdog over Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues, citing Rodrigues’ shaky chin, tendency to brawl despite having grappling advantages, and Kopylov’s power and durability after facing an elite Paulo Costa. Next, both pick Bo Nickal over Rodolfo Vieira, expecting Nickal to lean on his elite wrestling in a measured, mistake-free game plan after his setbacks, likely controlling the ground without risking unnecessary stand-up exchanges. Their first disagreement comes with Beneil Dariush vs Benoit Saint-Denis: Gene picks BSD, trusting his pressure, power, and revived momentum, while Sleepy prefers Dariush’s superior skill and grappling if he can avoid big shots. Another split follows with Carlos Prates vs Leon Edwards; Sleepy sides with Edwards’ championship experience and durability, while Gene believes Prates’ relentless forward pressure and destructive power will break Edwards as others have recently. They reunite on Sean Brady over Michael Morales, expecting Brady’s grappling, control, and veteran savvy to neutralize Morales’ explosive striking and deliver a “vet lesson” in a key contender matchup. In the co-main event, Gene backs Zhang Weili moving up for two-division glory, praising her evolution, volume, and ability to capitalize on Shevchenko’s occasional grappling mistakes, while Sleepy takes Valentina Shevchenko as the stronger, cleaner, more technical striker with superior size and takedown defense. In the main event, both predict Islam Makachev dominates Jack Della Maddalena early, with Makachev’s wrestling, control, and improved striking overwhelming a dangerous but out-classed champion who still has defensive gaps against elite grapplers. They expect an early submission or dominant finish as Makachev pursues champ-champ status. The show wraps with confidence in the card’s quality, a few strategic disagreements to help bettors evaluate both sides, and reminders to use code HOOK50 at Pregame. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf and Lonte get into NFL week 11 player props. Munaf and Lonte break down NFL Week 11 props on the Dream Preview: Munaf hosts with guest Lonte filling in for Sleepy J. They discuss the ugly Thursday game and move to QB props. Lonte’s QB pick: Josh Allen over ~219 pass yards vs Tampa, noting Buffalo’s bounce-back spot, Tampa’s recent defensive struggles (Goff 241, Mac 347, Darnold 341, Maye 270) and Buffalo leaning pass-heavy. Munaf’s QB pick: Jacoby Brissett over 236.5 pass yards vs SF based on four straight overs (320/279/261/258), injuries to Cards WRs, weak SF pass defense, and expected negative script. RB props: Lonte takes Kenneth Walker under 44.5 rush yards vs SF citing inconsistent workload, Charbonnet usage, SF run D, and poor matchup for Walker’s style. Munaf takes Jalen Warren over 101.5 rush+rec yards vs CIN after 158 last meeting, consistent recent volume, CIN giving up 141 rush yards + 44 receiving to RBs. WR/TE props: Lonte pivots to TE Brock Bowers over 70.5 yards vs Dallas due to mismatch vs DAL LBs, expected target spike, and previous big bounce-back after a one-catch game. Munaf backs Jaylen Waddle over 78.5 vs Washington (recent 95/99/82/84 games, WAS secondary allowing 178 to WRs, Waddle’s YAC and target expectation). Lonte doubles with Dalton Schultz over his receiving yards AND anytime TD vs TEN, referencing strong Mills-Schultz connection, 11 targets last week, red-zone usage, and TEN allowing TE production. Munaf plays Zach Ertz over 43.5 yards vs Miami (recent 46/54, Dolphins allowing 71 to TEs, WAS injuries, 5+ targets in 4 of 5). TD props: Lonte—Schultz. Munaf—Pat Freiermuth +230, Jonnu Smith +230, Ladd McConkey +155, and Aaron Jones +135. They plug the Pregame contests and Ready50 promo. Agreed best bet: Joe Flacco over 255.5 pass yards vs PIT; Steelers have been shredded by QBs (4 of prior 5 over 340 yards), Flacco threw 342 vs PIT in TNF matchup, comes off 470-yard game, has Chase/Higgins/Chase Brown, Bengals airing it out 45+ attempts often, extra rest helps shoulder.

They discuss Fezzik’s strong college football season, best bets from previous weeks, and review wins on Jets spreads, Houston-Denver unders, Washington and Cincinnati games, plus Rams and London totals, noting a streak of strong “spot seven cover” results. McKenzie recounts past real-estate ventures as the trio jokes, then they shift into Week 11 analysis: Bengals second-half performance vs Pittsburgh, predictive metrics showing large first-half/second-half splits, and why Cincinnati +3.5 in the second half is RJ’s best bet. They break down Green Bay’s injuries, Philly line moves, wide-receiver depth concerns, and how market shifts through key numbers signal anti-Green Bay sentiment. They analyze Tampa Bay vs Buffalo, Baker Mayfield’s lack of recent rushing, and whether injury or coaching changes explain performance dips. They touch on Tennessee improving after coaching changes, Kansas City’s struggles, and how situational scheduling affects motivation. Fezzik gives his picks: Miami 1Q -130, Ravens-Browns under 39.5, and props including Brock Bowers and McBride overs, with McBride’s volume spike under Jacoby Brissett emphasized. RJ questions line discrepancies in receiving props and discusses weather-driven total movement. The group debates quarterback traits, offensive limitations, and matchup-specific vulnerabilities, including Arizona’s resilience and aggregate point-loss profile.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith cover 5 big games for college football Week 12. Best bets as always. College Football Week 12 Best Bets – Georgia-Texas, Bama-Oklahoma, and the Underdog Uprising Pregame.com’s Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith rolled into Week 12 of the College Football Podcast with confidence after a 2-1 week, spotlighting four massive matchups and a best-bet combo built on underdogs and unders. They opened with Notre Dame (-11.5) at Pittsburgh, where Warner questioned Pat Narduzzi’s “I don’t care if we lose 100-0” quote and its locker-room impact, while Lonte leaned to the over 56, citing Pitt’s seven of nine home overs and Notre Dame’s explosive two-headed backfield of Price and Love. Game two took them to Los Angeles, Iowa at USC (-6.5, 49.5 total), where Warner admitted last week’s Iowa under cashed again, and Lonte argued the Trojans’ power-run identity under Lincoln Riley is something the Hawkeyes haven’t faced, liking USC to cover as home dominance meets Iowa’s one-dimensional grind. The SEC spotlight then shifted to Alabama (-6) vs. Oklahoma, with both handicappers dissecting the Tide’s “B+ ceiling” — good enough to win but not blow teams out — while Lonte pounded the Sooners plus the points. He cited Brent Venables’ pressure schemes and Ty Simpson’s tendency to rush throws under duress, predicting Oklahoma’s dual-threat QB John Mateer could expose Bama’s struggles versus mobile passers. Warner agreed it’s a classic live-dog spot, noting Alabama’s lack of a killer instinct after the LSU survival. Finally, they previewed the heavyweight clash between Georgia (-6) and Texas, Arch Manning’s first true test after a breakout against Vanderbilt. Lonte liked the Longhorns to cover and possibly shock the Bulldogs, arguing Georgia’s defense has slipped and that Arch’s confidence plus Texas’ tackling could push the champs to the brink. Warner, donning his trademark burnt-orange shirt, echoed that Georgia’s once-feared front isn’t what it was, and if Texas’ defense dictates tempo, the upset window opens. They wrapped with promo code “BOMB50” for $50 off Pregame’s all-access football package, then delivered best bets: Lonte’s Michigan State +7.5 over a reeling Penn State (“How do you get off the mat after that loss?”) and Warner doubling down on his sweet spot with Iowa–USC under 49.5, trusting punts and field position more than fireworks. With Week 12’s playoff picture tightening, both hosts agreed it’s the moment when market edges meet motivation gaps — fading complacent favorites, riding disciplined dogs, and trusting totals over hype. Pregame’s data meets gut instinct, and in a sport built on chaos, that blend is how sharp bettors stay undefeated in November Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for week 10. Here’s a tight, 3200-character (with spaces) no-line-break summary of RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for Week 10: RJ Bell opens by recapping Sunday’s NFL action with Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers, starting with Carolina’s loss to New Orleans. Fezzik stayed with Carolina in Survivor and noted how the team keeps failing as a favorite. RJ highlighted the Saints’ dominant defense and improved offense with six yards per play, nearly 400 yards, and late red-zone chances. Mackenzie said metrics showed New Orleans should’ve won by 15, confirming their superiority. Fezzik described halftime betting adjustments and rare line movements, explaining how small second-half line shifts can mislead bettors. The crew discussed the Eagles-Packers matchup and how Carolina’s poor showing after beating Green Bay exposed Bryce Young’s struggles, agreeing he looks like a future backup QB. Shifting to Buffalo-Miami, RJ asked how the Bills lost by 17 despite being strong favorites. Fezzik said turnovers and Miami’s efficiency made the score misleading but fair. They discussed Kansas City’s standing and how market perception shapes betting lines. Lions-Washington followed, with Fezzik citing Dan Campbell’s record off a loss, the Lions’ 546-yard offensive explosion, and Washington’s inept defense. RJ and Fezzik analyzed how Detroit dominates as a big favorite, while Seattle eases off late in blowouts. Both agreed Seattle’s defense and DVOA rank were elite, with Mackenzie noting they were top-ranked historically. The trio reviewed Super Bowl odds, seeing Kansas City, Rams, Seahawks, and Lions in a cluster. They debated kick distances, field goal post dimensions, and quirky rule-change ideas like multi-tiered posts for extra points. They then analyzed Colts-Falcons, where Fezzik said Indy’s sacks masked dominance. RJ detailed Jonathan Taylor’s game-breaking runs and argued elite backs still matter. Discussion turned to Vrabel’s clock management before halftime, balancing touchdown odds with time control. RJ and Fezzik debated analytics-driven plays and the evolving tension between strategy and entertainment, warning about over-analysis diminishing football’s simplicity. Fezzik proposed rule fixes like stopping the clock on intentional penalties (“The Fezzik Rule”). Later, they covered Rams-49ers, crediting the Rams’ offense and questioning Trey Lance’s legacy versus Mac Jones. They discussed the Bears’ improvement, Caleb Williams’ mobility, and how young QBs must run to succeed early. Fezzik compared run-heavy QBs’ durability risks. RJ outlined the link between rushing ability, learning curves, and NFL survival. They reviewed misleading finals like the Jets game where bad offenses combined for 47 points, Cleveland’s poor road offense, and statistical anomalies between yardage, success rate, and results. Finally, they debated Texans-Jaguars’ late collapse, noting Houston’s comeback from 19 down, and closed on Colts-Falcons, where stats favored Indy despite a close overtime finish. RJ teased his next best bet streak continuing and wrapped with a promise to deliver Thursday’s betting pod picks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for week 10. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J host the NFL Week 10 Props edition of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview, opening with the early Berlin matchup between the Colts and Falcons. Sleepy starts by betting Daniel Jones under 243.5 passing yards, citing Atlanta’s top-ranked pass defense and expectation of a run-heavy, clock-chewing game featuring Jonathan Taylor. Munaf agrees, benches Jones in fantasy, and counters with Baker Mayfield over 246.5 passing yards versus New England, arguing the Patriots’ rush D is elite but their secondary vulnerable. Sleepy concurs, noting Tampa’s bye week prep and New England’s difficulty stopping air attacks. Moving to rushing props, Sleepy doubles up: Daniel Jones over 15.5 and Josh Allen over 26.5 rushing yards, both facing heavy blitz teams (Falcons, Dolphins) that force quarterbacks to scramble. Munaf supports the logic and shifts to Christian McCaffrey over 50.5 receiving yards against the Rams, highlighting his consistent over trend, matchup history, and integral passing role. Sleepy backs the pick, expecting San Francisco to trail and throw often. On receivers, Sleepy picks Rome Odunze over 3.5 receptions (-145), predicting a “squeaky wheel” response after Odunze’s father publicly complained about his lack of targets; he expects a bounce-back game against the Giants’ poor secondary. Munaf echoes that, expecting early targets and likely over by halftime. He then takes Amon-Ra St. Brown over 80.5 receiving yards vs. Washington, noting Detroit’s offensive rebound spot, his four straight 86+ yard games, and heavy target share. Sleepy agrees, warning “never fade Amon-Ra,” then adds Zach Ertz over 34.5 receiving yards for the injury-depleted Commanders, expecting Mariota’s tight end usage. Munaf approves and adds Dalton Schultz over 34.5 receiving yards vs. Jacksonville, pointing out the Jaguars’ vulnerability to tight ends and Davis Mills’ reliance on Schultz. Touchdown section: Munaf picks Rome Odunze (+155), Jackson Dart (+170), and Aaron Jones (+105), forecasting scoring from dynamic playmakers and dump-off opportunities. Sleepy goes contrarian, taking longshot Jaguars tight ends Johnny Munt (+850) and Alan Trammell (+800) due to injuries thinning Jacksonville’s depth. Their agreed best bet: Marvin Harrison Jr. over 55.5 receiving yards vs. Seattle, backed by Brissett’s deep passing confidence, expected trailing script, and Harrison’s big-play potential (96 yards last week). Sleepy endorses, citing Brissett’s freedom to air it out and Harrison’s earlier 66-yard game vs. Seattle. The show closes with promos: use coupon “SWEEP50” at Pregame.com for $50 off NFL/CFB season packages and Sleepy’s $299 college basketball package. Both hosts expect profits and emphasize their prop track record, wrapping with optimism for Week 10 and anticipation for Week 11’s follow-up show. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 10. RJ Bell opens discussing early college basketball betting value with discounted season packages before turning to NFL Week 10. Joined by Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers, they dissect matchups and betting logic with humor and insight. Fezzik recalls “wax on, wax off” fundamentals and admits to pregame bourbon. Discussion starts with Pittsburgh’s turnover-driven defense, strip sacks as skill not luck, and how fading the Steelers has burned bettors. Bell then challenges Fezzik on correlation in QB rushing props, arguing Mahomes and Allen’s attempts should be positively related since trailing QBs and peer competition both increase rushing, despite Fezzik’s kneel-down caveat. Fezzik’s best bet is Steelers +3 vs Chargers, citing injuries and inflated home-field edge; Bell reads data showing Greer’s model rates L.A.’s home edge too high due to time zone and turf, but agrees it matters slightly. They pivot to Chargers’ offensive-line woes, strip-sack risk, and discuss under 24 as team total. Bell worries Chargers will play ultra-conservative, strengthening the under; both concur. Next, Bell touts Jets +2½ as best bet, saying trades of Gardner and Williams remove malcontents, boost morale, and the market overreacted. He argues the Browns’ offense has collapsed under their new QB, while Fezzik doubts locker-room psychology but concedes value. They estimate Cleveland would need a historically low power rating for current pricing. Talk shifts to Baltimore-Minnesota: Bell calls Vikings +4 a top play, seeing market overadjustment; McCarthy’s emergence offsets Ravens’ hype. Fezzik agrees. McKenzie’s best bet is Rams –4½ over 49ers, citing defensive injuries to Warner and Bosa and San Francisco’s fading metrics; Bell agrees line aligns with true injury impact. Fezzik’s second bet is Bears WR Odunze over 5 catches after a zero-target game—expecting “feed the star” correction. They banter on Cubs nostalgia before Bell endorses the logic. Fezzik’s teaser pairs New England +8½ and Philadelphia +8½, fading overrated Tampa and Green Bay; Bell likes the reasoning but downgrades Pats’ schedule. Their third core debate centers on Houston-Jacksonville: Bell favors Houston or Jaguars team-total under 20, expecting a grind with backup Davis Mills and Demeco Ryans’ disciplined D; Fezzik projects low pace and agrees under likely rises. They elaborate on clock tactics, situational play-calling, and coach analytics gaps, with Fezzik’s mock “Omaha” cadence comedy. Later, Fezzik reveals surviving in a 1,500-player contest, leaning Carolina over New Orleans in Survivor, while Bell praises the logic. They close ranking NFC teams—Rams, Seattle, Detroit, Philly—with Seattle surging and Detroit flagged as “fraud alert.” Bell muses about prediction markets, election betting, and “super-forecasters,” proposing such analysis for future shows. After humorous tangents on coaches, parenting, and old movies, they recap best bets: Bell—Jets +2½, Vikings +4, Houston under setup, Patriots +; Fezzik—Chargers under 24, Odunze over 5 catches, Pats/Eagles teaser; Mackenzie—Rams –4½.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith dive into this weeks College football slate. The guys have been hot. College Football Podcast: Week 11 Breakdown with Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith The College Football Podcast from Pregame.com delivered another deep dive into the sport’s biggest Week 11 matchups as hosts Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith broke down the betting angles, playoff implications, and standout performances shaping the season. The duo opened the show reflecting on a rough previous week after an earlier hot streak, then jumped straight into analysis of Texas Tech’s clash with BYU. Lonte emphasized the Red Raiders’ dominant defensive line and BYU’s reliance on the run, calling Texas Tech the clear side and liking the over thanks to their prolific scoring at home. From there, the conversation moved to Oregon vs. Iowa, where Griffin leaned toward the home dog and the under, anticipating a slugfest dictated by field position and strong defenses. Lonte noted Oregon’s inconsistent offense and Iowa’s capacity to rise against elite opponents, making it a tricky number hovering around six points. Next up was Missouri hosting Texas A&M, where the guys agreed Mizzou could hang tough by leaning on its ground game, exploiting A&M’s weakness against the run, and controlling tempo. Despite A&M’s unbeaten SEC run, Lonte pointed out the Aggies’ vulnerability in stopping power backs like Ahmad Hardy, giving the Tigers a shot to cover and push the under. The show wrapped with the LSU–Alabama rivalry, once a national spectacle and still a bettor’s delight. With Brian Kelly out, Lonte predicted the “new-coach bump” would spark LSU to compete deep into the fourth quarter, while Griffin backed the Tigers’ talent depth and recruiting base as key edges against an Alabama squad that has struggled to dominate weaker teams. The hosts agreed Bama’s defense and game-management lag behind its reputation, noting how NIL parity has leveled talent across the SEC. For best bets, Lonte offered a weekday MACtion appetizer—Ball State moneyline vs. Kent State—and LSU plus the points in Tuscaloosa. Griffin backed Oregon–Iowa under 40.5 as his top play. They closed by reminding listeners to use promo code Passing50 for $50 off season packages on Pregame.com. With humor, candor, and sharp insight, Warner and Smith blended betting strategy, analytics, and college football passion into a fast-paced hour that felt both educational and entertaining. It was a show for sharp bettors and diehard fans alike, showing why the Pregame Network’s college football coverage continues to stand out. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL week 9 recap and much more. RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 9 before Monday Night Football, starting with Kyler Murray’s benching and market reactions showing roughly a two-point QB difference. They discuss how slow information moves during the sports equinox and debate sharps versus books on early bets, limit sizes, and the game-theory of dummy moves used by bettors like Billy Walters. Fezzik notes boomerang line moves and how fakeouts create opportunities; RJ cites studies showing originators hit 57 percent and those betting three points worse break even. They analyze RJ’s Houston–Denver under “pleaser” win and Fezzik’s data on key numbers shifting: sevens less valuable now because teams go for two, making eight and one more important. Their math argues games landing on three will drop from ten percent to lower under new rules. They segue to the fairness of ties and hockey’s three-point system, debating game theory and equilibrium in overtime. Fezzik likens NHL overtime strategy to poker chops and argues ties should yield shared points without creating asymmetric rewards. They shift to Seattle’s dominant but misleading win, noting fourth-quarter coasting makes them better than stats show, a live-bet underdog/under opportunity. JSN and Sam Darnold shine; Darnold ranks #1 PFF, #3 QBR, ahead of Dak, Herbert and Stafford. They recall past QBR outliers like Case Keenum and Carson Wentz to stress sample-size limits. Power ratings place Seattle fifth behind KC, Baltimore, Buffalo, and Rams; RJ and Fez praise Neflo Robbie Greer’s method of regressing models toward market lines. They break down Buffalo’s dominant win over KC: Allen efficient, Mahomes didn’t run despite career-high rushing rates, dropping Chiefs to 5-4 and underdogs in the division. They debate statistical versus score truth—acknowledging randomness, unknown factors and trench play as the real signal. Fezzik upgrades Buffalo ½ point. They examine Chargers–Titans (Chargers dominant despite defensive/special-teams scores) and model turnover EPA (~4.7 points each). Injuries lower Chargers value by ≈0.3 points. RJ vents about a bet graded wrong on a kick-return first down and argues books must follow NFL stats; Fez agrees. They dissect Mahomes/Allen rushing parlay correlation—Fez expected slight negative via kneel-downs, RJ argues positive peer rivalry correlation; priced +550 was great value. They analyze Pittsburgh’s turnover-driven win over Indy and how strip sacks are earned turnovers. Parity dominates the league: no elite team, ≈12 can win it. They link Super Bowl value to number-one-seed odds (Eagles, Rams, Seahawks top NFC; Bills favorite AFC). They cover Packers’ phony loss, youth and immaturity; Philly–Green Bay line movement; Denver’s win helped by Stroud’s injury; Bears–Bengals defenseless shootout; 49ers’ grit and Dart’s poise; Giants’ and Dayball’s decline; Indy’s fragility pre-Germany trip but historical ATS records of teams before international games; Vikings’ upset of Detroit; and how poorly disciplined teams commit false starts near the goal line. They close on coaching styles—grit versus modernity—and agree no team rates above +5 in power rankings. RJ signs off for their Wednesday pick show. Learn more about your ad choices.

(24:37–35:06 RJ) RJ fires his best bet: Houston–Denver Under 40, explaining how both teams’ offenses collapse under defensive pressure, why line moves misprice QB injuries, and how coaching style (Sean Payton’s conservatism) locks games into “rock fight” mode.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith dive into CFB Week 10 betting. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith review a strong Week 9, going 2-0, and dive into CFB Week 10 betting. They start with Vanderbilt vs Texas. Texas is a 1.5-point favorite at home, total 44.5. Lonte praises Vanderbilt’s resilience after a key injury and their ATS success. He notes Texas’ comeback over Mississippi State led by Arch Manning before his concussion. Texas’ defense can dominate, but their offensive line and rushing attack are weak, ranking low nationally. Lonte expects a run-heavy game and likes the under, leaning Texas if Arch plays. Griffin doubts Arch clears concussion protocol quickly and expects Texas to rely on the run, facing a vulnerable Vanderbilt D-line. Both agree the trenches favor Texas, making the under appealing. Next, they preview Texas Tech at Kansas State. Tech is -7.5, total 52.5. Lonte discusses QB injuries—Hammond’s ACL tear and Morton’s durability concerns. Kansas State, led by Avery Johnson, has covered four straight, averaging over 35 points since their bye. Their passing game shines when not blitzed, but rushing remains weak. Lonte likes K-State as a home dog, citing Tech’s strong D-line but potential rust from Morton. Griffin agrees, noting Manhattan’s tough environment and potential line value. Moving to Oklahoma at Tennessee, Tennessee is -3, total 57. Lonte calls it fair, citing Tennessee’s underrated home-field edge and Oklahoma’s elite but untested defense. Tennessee’s offense, led by erratic but explosive playmakers, should expose Oklahoma’s lack of offensive balance. He prefers Tennessee and leans under. Griffin questions why Tennessee’s only a field-goal favorite at home, calling the line suspicious. Lonte points to market respect for Oklahoma’s defense despite their struggles versus Ole Miss and believes Tennessee’s speed and weapons make them the right side. Finally, Cincinnati visits Utah, Utah -8.5, total 56.5. Lonte praises Cincinnati’s undervalued run, 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS, but warns about Utah QB Devin Dampier’s status. Cincinnati can control the clock with their run game, while Utah’s limited explosiveness favors the under. Griffin asks how competitiveness affects totals. Lonte prefers both teams to stick to their run-heavy identities, producing long drives and a smooth under. Best Bets: Lonte takes Cal +4 vs Virginia, noting UVA’s lucky wins and travel fatigue, with Cal’s efficiency and home-field edge key. Griffin backs K-State +7.5 vs Texas Tech, trusting their recent form and home edge against a shaky Tech QB situation.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers break down everything that happened for NFL Week 8. RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 8, beginning with RJ joking about bagels before diving into betting trends. They note that favorites dominated and spreads barely mattered, leaving teasers and parlays heavy on Kansas City exposure. Fezzik observes that this week’s final scores were mostly fair reflections, without many misleading results. The trio then shift into a long discussion about gambling integrity, comparing insider sports info to stock-market crimes. RJ argues that injury and lineup leaks are like insider trading and should carry harsh penalties. They cite NBA and college cases—LeBron injury rumors, Billy Walters, trainers leaking info—and imagine coded Twitter “dead drops” for illicit tips. RJ stresses that while some data like “LeBron out” has modest betting value, when players underperform deliberately or fake participation it becomes true corruption. They call for severe lifetime bans for manipulating personal stats, while leaks should draw lighter suspensions. Prop-bet abuse and small limits follow; Fezzik suggests $200 caps to deter fixing. They praise monitoring systems such as U.S. Integrity that now flag irregular betting instantly, citing the caught Alabama baseball coach. RJ says AI and DraftKings-style tracking would have exposed Donaghy within weeks. After that, they pivot to NFL: criticizing Harbaugh and the Ravens’ handling of Lamar Jackson’s surprise absence, speculating that transparency rules need enforcement. They analyze that game, calling the 30-16 Ravens win a “phony final” where Baltimore overperformed. Next comes Tampa Bay’s misleading 22-3 over New Orleans—“ten-three at best,” Fezzik says—before RJ celebrates a same-game-parlay win. They review the Jets-Bengals comeback, noting lucky two-point conversions and that modern analytics justify going for two down eight. They dissect Bills, Giants, Steelers, and Packers games, emphasizing how late-game yardage can distort stats. RJ calls Cincinnati’s defense “donezo.” They highlight teams awful versus the run (Giants, Bengals, Ravens) and conclude Pittsburgh’s defense is overrated. Green Bay’s D, by contrast, grades top five by EPA. The pair debate coaching: RJ says O’Connell is top five but mysteriously poor in night games, while Fezzik defends him. They agree the Vikings’ O-line injuries keep them fragile. Closing out, they praise Belichick’s Patriots for exposing Cleveland’s travel defense, mock Dallas’s showboating after Denver’s blowout, and observe that great offense vs. great defense matchups often yield one-sided results. The show ends with schedule notes for next week’s taping and RJ joking about his underdog pick and podcast timing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SleepyJ and MeanGene talk betting for the entire main card of UFC 321. Sleepy J and Mean Gene break down the entire UFC 321 main card from Abu Dhabi in a fast-paced betting preview. They open with their best bet—Azamat Mirzakhanov over Aleksandar Rakić—calling him the hungrier fighter with knockout power and better fight IQ while questioning Rakić’s motivation and durability after a long layoff. They both see Mirzakhanov’s aggression, southpaw power, and confidence carrying him through, especially overseas where judges may favor pressure and damage. They next debate Jailton Almeida vs Alexander Volkov: Sleepy J likes the veteran Volkov’s size, balance, and cardio at dog odds, while Gene sides with Almeida for his submission skills and athletic upside but warns of cardio issues if it goes late. In the bantamweight bout, they tackle Umar Nurmagomedov vs Mario Bautista. Sleepy J grabs Bautista at +440 just for the value, citing his streak and toughness, but admits Umar likely wins; Gene breaks down Umar’s title-fight loss to Merab Dvalishvili, the broken hand, his elite grappling, and motivation to reclaim the title, calling him a “guaranteed” parlay piece even at –600. Sleepy J then drops a promo code before they preview the co-main—Mackenzie Dern vs Virna Jandiroba—for the vacant strawweight title. Gene picks Dern, citing her improved striking, world-class jiu-jitsu, and UFC marketing push but admits her wrestling and tendency to crumble under bright lights are concerns; he expects a submission or decision win if she stays composed. Sleepy J counters with Jandiroba, highlighting her five-fight win streak over names like Angela Hill and Marina Rodriguez and the revenge angle from losing to Dern years ago, arguing the line is off and that Dern is being overvalued for marketability. Finally, they dive deep on the heavyweight title fight—Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane. Sleepy J sees both as elite athletes but leans Aspinall and bets the over 1.5 rounds, thinking both start cautiously; he views Aspinall as the next long-term champ once he beats Gane. Gene delivers his most confident take ever, calling Aspinall a generational heavyweight—fast, technical, powerful, and mentally tougher—and insists Gane’s poor ground game, low fight IQ, and quit factor from the Jon Jones fight will doom him. He predicts Aspinall by submission and urges listeners to parlay him at –300 to –400 or take “inside the distance” at –275 as safer value. The show closes with Sleepy J praising Gene’s conviction, both agreeing Aspinall rules the division unless Jon Jones returns for legacy money, and teasing an extended episode for UFC 322, which they expect to be one of the best cards in years, urging fans to follow them on X and use promo code TOM20 at Pregame dot com for 20% off.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB Week 9 betting. Offense play fast, defense swarm and tackle, out-block, out-hit, out-hustle, leave no doubt tonight. Welcome to the Pregame.com College Football Podcast; Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith recap last week’s bets, one-and-one overall. Griffin laments Alabama-Tennessee over missing by 1.5 points; Lonte says it was still the right handicap. Arkansas barely covered against A&M, but a win’s a win. Transitioning to Week 9, Griffin vents about Texas surviving Kentucky in overtime, clinging to playoff hopes despite a sputtering offense led by Arch Manning. Lonte defends Manning’s potential but notes he’s struggling behind an injured line and inconsistent weapons; Texas’ defense elite but the offense stagnant. Next, they preview Ole Miss +5 at Oklahoma. Lonte worries OU quarterback John Metier isn’t healthy enough for deep throws, leaning OU and the under, expecting Oklahoma’s defense to dictate and Ole Miss to feel a hangover from blowing a 9-point lead at Georgia. Griffin agrees it’s defense-driven and wonders whether back-to-back road trips doom the Rebels. Then Kansas State +2.5 at Kansas: Lonte wants K-State at +3, notes both off bye weeks, K-State trending up with a strong run game versus Kansas’ weak rush defense. Over 57 also appealing with both offenses capable. Griffin points out Kansas State’s pattern of close games and home-field edge from the Jayhawks’ new stadium atmosphere. Next, Missouri at Vanderbilt (-2.5): both surprised how competitive Vandy’s become. Lonte likes the Commodores at home, praising coach Clark Lea’s culture shift and Barton Simmons’ roster building. Mizzou coming off back-to-back emotional games and travel; Vandy’s defense shaky on late downs but the run game and energy trending up. Griffin jokes about ESPN calling their LSU win a “thumping,” agrees Vandy controlled the game and didn’t rush the field. Both like Vanderbilt and the over, expecting a 40-ish shootout. Finally, Texas A&M -2.5 at LSU: Lonte loves LSU, especially if line hits +3. Brian Kelly has lost only one home night game; the Tigers’ defense solid though the offense lacks rhythm. A&M banged up with back-to-back road trips, while LSU just needs to stay on schedule and run efficiently. Griffin reads angry texts from an LSU alum demanding Kelly’s firing, joking that fan unrest may be a perfect betting signal for a home-dog bounce. Both think LSU live to win outright in Death Valley. Wrapping up, they plug promo code CATCH20 for $20 off a football-access package, noting Griffin’s birthday Oct 27 and thanking listeners for staying with them through 10 weeks. Best bets: Lonte takes Michigan State +14 vs Michigan, trusting Sparty’s defense and rivalry motivation, noting Michigan struggles laying big road numbers; Griffin grabs Vanderbilt -2.5 vs Missouri, trusting the Commodores’ form and Mizzou’s fatigue.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down the opening games for the NBA season on Wednesday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji opens the RJ Bell’s Dream Preview NBA podcast, back from being under the weather and ready for the new season. With 13 games on Wednesday’s slate, he and Mackenzie Rivers break down four key matchups, offering sides, totals, and best bets. They begin with the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden facing the New York Knicks. The Cavs are 1.5-point favorites with Darius Garland out, DeAndre Hunter questionable, and Max Strus recovering from foot surgery. The Knicks are missing Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, while Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable with a quad strain. Mackenzie likes the Cavs, citing their improved offense, depth, and consistency, noting that even without Garland they’re better structured and cohesive. He argues the Knicks’ injury list and new coaching approach create uncertainty, favoring Cleveland’s early-season form. Munaf agrees, expecting Donovan Mitchell to shine and dominate offensively, particularly with the Knicks lacking frontcourt strength. Both lean slightly toward the over at 227.5, anticipating a strong Cavs offensive showing. Next, they preview the 76ers visiting the Celtics, Boston favored by 2.5. With Paul George, Jared McCain, and Trenton Watford out for Philly and Jason Tatum sidelined for Boston, Mackenzie sees both teams uncertain but leans Sixers due to Joel Embiid’s presence, citing his offseason conditioning and potential resurgence. Munaf shares optimism for Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, predicting a big game and slight Sixers edge against Boston’s thin frontcourt. For the Spurs at Mavericks matchup, Dallas is -2.5, with key absences including De’Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk, and Jeremy Sochan for San Antonio and Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, and Dante Exum for Dallas. Mackenzie leans Spurs, expecting Victor Wembanyama to impress against Anthony Davis, while acknowledging Dallas’s experience advantage. They debate rookie Cooper Flagg’s outlook, agreeing he’s talented but unlikely to have a historically impactful rookie season, noting his youth and the rarity of immediate dominance. Munaf adds that Flaggs’ Rookie of the Year odds are overvalued given his supporting cast. They touch on Dallas as a trendy Western Conference pick, with Mackenzie calling it “a hipster choice” but doubting their title chances given chemistry and reliance on a rookie. Munaf concurs, seeing potential but too many variables. Wrapping up, they promote the “Beat Dave Esler NBA Contest” at pregame.com, with $1,000 in prizes and a $75-off code (NBA75) for Mackenzie’s full-season picks package. In best bets, Mackenzie doubles down on Cavaliers -1.5, emphasizing matchup dominance, cohesion, and depth. Munaf’s best bet is the Chicago Bulls +4.5 vs. Detroit, citing preseason sharpness, defensive improvement, and Detroit’s injuries and lack of reliable scoring beyond Cade Cunningham. Mackenzie agrees, backing dogs early-season trends. They close with light banter about gas prices and Munaf’s Houston connections before signing off, urging listeners to subscribe and enjoy opening week of the NBA season.
