RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for week 3. RJ Bell (0:06–0:28) opened the Week 3 recap with Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers, pointing straight to the Rams’ late collapse. Steve Fezzik (0:28–0:37) vented, “Shitty RJ, shitty from the Rams … in the goddamn fucked up end game,” showing how devastating the ending was. RJ Bell (0:37–1:20) argued the odds of the result were “astronomical,” rejecting the idea it was routine. Steve Fezzik (1:20–2:29) explained the math: only a 0.3% chance of a blocked kick returned for a touchdown, calling it a once-in-hundreds scenario. RJ Bell (2:50–4:14) reminded listeners the Rams had a 99% chance to cover for most of the second half and 99.9% on the final snap. RJ Bell (4:57–5:56) noted only two teams lost with over 50% average win probability: the Rams at 63% and Packers at 66.2%. Mackenzie Rivers (8:53–8:57) confirmed the Rams’ average win chance was still just 59.5%, proof of how sudden the collapse was. RJ Bell (10:15–10:57) highlighted the Rams at 83% to win before the blocked kick. Steve Fezzik (31:14–31:43) still upgraded the Rams by one point, pointing to their +0.8 yards per play edge. RJ Bell (32:32–35:56) contrasted Philadelphia’s negative point differential with the Rams’ +3.8 average, moving the Rams ahead in power ratings. RJ Bell (39:23–42:52) introduced explosive play data: Rams –3, Eagles +3, Packers led at +8 while Titans and Steelers trailed at –7, showing the correlation to wins. Fezzik (42:52–43:39) then analyzed Green Bay’s loss, with RJ Bell (43:39–45:31) stressing the Packers allow 8.2 fewer points per game than average, best in the league. Turning to Pittsburgh, Fezzik (49:09–49:33) said their 21–14 win masked problems, as they were outgained by 160 yards but survived on a +4 turnover margin. RJ Bell (50:07–50:28) defended Mike Tomlin, saying he simply wins close games, backed by a 67% average win probability. Fezzik (55:44–55:56) blamed Houston’s turnovers in their loss to Jacksonville, while RJ Bell (55:56–56:10) admired the Texans’ effort despite 0–3. Fezzik (1:05:48–1:05:53) downgraded Atlanta –1.5 after a 30–0 loss to Carolina, noting Carolina had only 224 yards but capitalized on Atlanta’s failure to reach the red zone. Seattle’s 38–13 rout of New Orleans was credited to special teams, with Fezzik (1:07:04–1:07:10) saying much came from flukes. RJ Bell (1:09:29–1:09:56) flagged Dallas’ defensive weakness after a 34–17 loss to Chicago, now allowing 6.5 more points than average, while the Bears controlled the game with 81.5% win probability. Fezzik (1:10:25–1:10:52) called the Chargers’ three-point win over Denver “phony,” noting a 29–9 first down edge. Fezzik (1:16:18–1:16:25) lamented Marvin Harrison Jr.’s drop in Arizona’s narrow loss to San Francisco, though the Niners still posted +1.6 yards per play. RJ Bell (1:21:28–1:21:39) praised Washington’s backup-led win over Las Vegas with 7.5 yards per play and 82.6% win probability, while Fezzik (1:20:09–1:20:45) criticized the Raiders’ poor defense. RJ Bell (1:25:10–1:26:54) listed struggling teams: Cincinnati (–8.5), Miami (–8), Saints (–12.5), Raiders (–5.2), Jets (–7), Titans (–6.8). He also tagged over teams like Dallas (+8.9) and Chicago (+6.75) versus under teams like Green Bay (–8) and Cleveland (–7). Finally, RJ Bell (1:28:12–1:28:31) previewed Packers vs. Cowboys as the next big game, with the line moving from Green Bay –2.5 to –7 after CeeDee Lamb’s injury. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 3. NFL Player Props – Week 3 [Opening Segment] (timestamps vary by section) The discussion centers on betting angles for Week 3 player props, with analysts pointing out favorable matchups and statistical trends. Direct quotes reveal a focus on efficiency and expected production. For example: “You have to look at how many times he’s being targeted in the red zone, that’s where the value comes in.” This emphasizes the importance of opportunity over pure yardage totals when evaluating props. [Quarterbacks] Attention is given to pass attempts and touchdowns. One speaker highlights: “Daniel Jones is averaging nearly 35 pass attempts per game, but the efficiency is what’s holding him back.” This implies that volume alone does not guarantee fantasy or betting success—completion rates and game scripts matter. [Running Backs] Breece Hall is scrutinized for underwhelming production despite decent yards-per-carry averages. “He’s sitting at 4.7 per carry, but without consistent usage, you can’t back the over.” This underscores the risk of betting on backs whose offensive systems don’t prioritize them. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason is framed as an emerging value: “He’s looked better than Aaron Jones on limited touches, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.” This points to his growing role in the Vikings’ backfield. [Wide Receivers & Tight Ends] The analysts debate Kyle Pitts versus Cade Otten, noting Pitts’ “11 receptions on 13 targets, 96 yards” compared with Otten’s potential boost due to Buccaneers’ injuries. The commentary suggests Pitts remains a frustrating hold while Otten could be a buy-low play. For receivers, Keenan Allen is praised for “17 targets and two touchdowns already”, reinforcing his role as Justin Herbert’s primary option. [Team-Level Context] Defenses are tied into betting strategy. The Buccaneers’ run-stopping prowess—“allowing just 105 rushing yards total through two games”—is highlighted as a reason to fade certain running backs. Conversely, the Panthers’ weak rush defense bolsters confidence in Atlanta’s ground-heavy attack led by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for week 3. Dream Podcast – NFL Week 3 Picks Breakdown [Steve Fezzik] (0:00 - 0:04) opens abruptly, his words more like a countdown rhythm, setting a casual yet energized tone. [RJ Bell] (0:06 - 0:42) quickly frames the session with enthusiasm, declaring, “Fez was strong on this one. Acme. Just think Acme is the key word.” He underscores the rarity of what’s being offered, stressing this is one of only “four times in the year” where buyers can get unusual value. His analysis implies urgency and scarcity, pressing listeners to act. [Steve Fezzik] (0:43 - 0:48) confirms, “Normally the best deal is you buy for 10 bucks, you get $50 that’s offered like once a year.” The importance is clear: maximizing bankroll through this offer is a bettor’s edge. [RJ Bell] (0:48 - 1:57) elaborates, repeating “10 gets you 50” while comparing bulk dollars to currency that “never expires.” He emphasizes, “You can spend bulk dollars just like cash never expires,” framing them as stable and advantageous. His implication is that investing here amplifies purchasing power and locks in long-term flexibility. [Steve Fezzik] (1:57 - 2:00) briefly shifts, noting “Hey doc, sports is still going strong,” signaling momentum and reinforcing credibility. [RJ Bell] (2:00 - 2:22) redirects to performance, praising Fezzik: “In college football this season, Steve Fezzik is up 43 units plus. How do you do that in three weeks?” The statistic highlights extraordinary profitability, anchoring Fezzik’s authority. [Steve Fezzik] (2:22 - 2:23) explains simply, “High volume,” acknowledging his strategy. [RJ Bell] (2:23 - 2:36) pushes further, asking about availability of picks, emphasizing immediacy. [Steve Fezzik] (2:36 - 2:47) clarifies, “I got my Thursday, Friday college football package up. So I got plays multiple plays for Thursday and Friday,” stressing preparedness and access. [RJ Bell] (2:47 - 3:02) advises Fezzik to release weekend packages early, suggesting buyers will maximize the $10-to-$50 offer, showing a direct connection between financial deal and betting content. [Steve Fezzik] (3:04 - 3:14) adds credibility, noting, “I already won my underdog game of the year. Georgia Tech beats Clemson bonus pick… Clemson under nine and a half wins.” These stats reinforce his sharp projections and long-term leverage, demonstrating foresight on both single games and season totals. [RJ Bell] (3:14 - 4:54) amplifies Fezzik’s success: “That’s over 10 units. That’s like 14 units a week.” He frames it as “crazy,” underscoring just how rare such hot streaks are. His analysis ties the value of the bulk dollar promotion to Fezzik’s picks, arguing this is the “wise guy move.” He instructs listeners to buy through Pregame.com, directly linking purchase mechanics to betting success. [Steve Fezzik] (4:55 - 5:18) pivots to NFL observations: “There are no upsets in the NFL anymore… if you just money lined every four point favorite and higher so far, you are undefeated.” This team-level trend reveals a major shift in survivor pool dynamics, implying fewer surprises early in the season. He cautions it may be an “aberration” but still impactful for Week 3 strategy. [RJ Bell] (5:18 - 5:20) challenges why lead with an aberration, sharpening the analysis. [Steve Fezzik] (5:28 - 5:47) closes this segment by pointing to contrarian betting: “If you had done nothing but bet 0–2 teams week three in the NFL catching points 48, 27…” His stat illustrates historical strength of fading public panic on struggling teams, reinforcing his long-term contrarian philosophy.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Week 4. Early Reflections (0:32 – 4:26) Griffin celebrated the “first 2-0 of the season.” Lonte added, “Great weekend for us going 2-0… all the big games delivered.” Griffin recalled missing Tennessee-Georgia moments at an Arkansas watch party, while Lonte defended his Southern Miss pick, saying they “dominated this game” over App State. Market Volatility (4:27 – 6:40) Griffin called college line swings “chaos compared to the NFL or MLB.” Lonte noted CLV matters only “55% on three-plus moves.” Utah vs. Texas Tech (6:40 – 11:07) Utah’s “60% rush success rate” and Morton’s road issues (“80 grade at home, under 60 away”) led Lonte to lean Utah/under, projecting “23-20.” Griffin agreed: Utah -3. Michigan vs. Nebraska (11:43 – 14:33) Underwood’s 114 yards, 2 TDs boost Michigan vs. Nebraska’s weak run defense (“outside top 120 EPA”). Lonte leaned Huskers as home dogs; Griffin backed that angle. Auburn vs. Oklahoma (16:09 – 19:13) Auburn’s defense “first in rush success rate allowed.” Lonte called for “23-20 or 20-17,” taking Auburn +6.5 and under. Griffin agreed, eyeing +7. Illinois vs. Indiana (20:21 – 25:02) Illinois’ veteran team and Duke road win contrasted with Indiana QB Mendoza, who “struggles against blitz and man coverage.” Lonte liked Illinois +4.5/over. Best Bets (26:03 – 31:12) Lonte: UConn -21 (UConn “top 15 in success rate” vs. Ball State’s defense “outside top 110”). Griffin: Utah -3 (trust in home edge, QB splits). Takeaway Defense, weak schedules, and market inefficiencies drove every angle. Player stats (Underwood’s rushing, UConn’s efficiency) and team metrics (Auburn’s #1 defense) shaped sharp Week 4 picks.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 2. NFL Week 2: The Picks Breakdown [RJ Bell] (0:05 - 3:09): “Alright guys, just finished up.” He immediately introduced the night’s action, noting a major play on Washington at +3.5 from South Point and +3 at even money elsewhere. His breakdown emphasized confidence in the pick, urging listeners to follow the reasoning provided throughout. He also highlighted Steve Fezzik’s hot streak, up 32 units already this season, and A.J. Hoffman’s consistent multi-year success. This was used to reinforce credibility and demonstrate sharpness in market reads. [Steve Fezzik] (3:09 - 3:19): “Pick them to win outright.” He argued the bet was justified given the game flow, explaining it would predictably settle within a narrow margin. His comment underscored the razor-thin line between winning and losing in close spreads. [RJ Bell] (3:19 - 3:49): “But, once again, if they would have went for it down on, what was it, like the 15? Yeah, could have had a tie.” He expressed frustration over a coaching decision, pointing to how single calls can swing results. The implication was that bettors often find value or heartbreak in these fine margins. [RJ Bell] (3:52 - 3:59): “But, we almost won in the first half.” He reflected on momentum swings, stressing how first-half edges can foreshadow outcomes. His excitement revealed how bettors savor small victories even when final results turn. [Steve Fezzik] (3:59 - 4:10): “Nothing is better than betting like a baseball first five and then watching your team get their teeth kicked in.” His analogy showed the gambler’s paradox—sometimes the bet is safe despite later collapses. This framed the unpredictability of sports betting as both painful and exhilarating. [RJ Bell] (4:11 - 4:39): “All right.” He explained their betting breakdown: two dimes split, with one having no vig. This transparency gave insight into bankroll strategy and why certain plays carry less risk. [Steve Fezzik] (4:39 - 4:42): “If you’re listening during the summer, you won the Cincinnati under 46.” He referenced past success, reinforcing the credibility of sharp picks on season totals. [RJ Bell] (4:42 - 4:58): “By the way, Fez, I thought you were a little, let’s just say, much about Seattle losing.” His pushback highlighted accountability in analysis. The back-and-forth emphasized how handicappers debate variance versus bad beats, reflecting broader conversations among bettors. [Steve Fezzik] (5:02 - 5:10): “Yeah, but I liked the spot.” He defended his position, showing conviction in handicapping angles beyond raw results. This reinforced how context matters more than outcome in evaluating a pick. Key Takeaways Player and Team Stats: The discussion referenced Washington’s spread value, Seattle’s underdog position, and Cincinnati’s win total under 46. These stats were central to their betting angles, showing how sharp bettors exploit lines beyond just wins and losses. Strategic Insights: The speakers revealed how bankroll management (splitting dimes, avoiding vig) and situational angles (coaching calls, first-half strength) shape betting success. Implications: Their commentary stressed that variance and razor-thin spreads define the betting landscape, where judgment, timing, and discipline matter more than hindsight complaints.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for week 3. Game Previews Georgia at Tennessee (6:05 – 12:39) Line: Georgia -3.5 (down from -7.5). Smith: “I don’t really trust Gunner Stockton… it’ll be a run heavy approach on both sides.” Stat: Georgia top 10 in rush success rate. First-time road starters are 3-10 straight up, 3-9-1 ATS. Lean: Under 49.5, with Tennessee backers getting value if they grabbed +7. Clemson at Georgia Tech (13:33 – 15:59) Line fell from -9 to -3.5. Smith: “This is a good buy low spot for Clemson.” Concern over GT QB Haynes King’s health and their 91st-ranked pass success rate. Clemson’s defense and potential WR return could tilt the matchup. Florida at LSU (17:24 – 23:12) Line: LSU -7, total 48.5. Florida’s discipline issues showed with 11 penalties for 101 yards. Smith: “Under would be the only way I would look.” LSU’s defense is improving, while QB Lagway’s success depends on teammates cleaning up mistakes. Texas A&M at Notre Dame (23:13 – 30:33) Line: Notre Dame -7, total 49.5. Smith stresses urgency: “This is a must win for Notre Dame.” Player stat: Jeremiah Love had 14 touches for 78 yards; Smith insists he must see 20+ carries. A&M ranks outside top 100 in 3rd/4th down success rate. Lean: Notre Dame under 7 and under the total. Best Bets (31:47 – 35:15) Lonte Smith: Southern Miss +2.5. “I think Southern Miss wins this game outright.” He cites App State’s struggles against weak opponents and the Marshall-to-Southern Miss coaching/player pipeline. Griffin Warner: Tennessee +3.5. “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol.” He backs the Knoxville home-field edge against Georgia. Takeaway The discussion highlights Florida’s lack of discipline, the volatility of young QBs like Stockton, and Notre Dame’s must-win spot. The week closes with confidence in two home underdogs—Southern Miss and Tennessee—as the sharpest plays. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year’s success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May’s solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders’ poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver’s elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina’s porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers’ quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina’s ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson’s historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson’s breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns’ passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco’s chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland’s passing attack matches well against Cincinnati’s suspect defense and that Flacco’s recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week’s most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk college football betting for Week 2. The Week 2 preview of the College Football Podcast on RJ Bell’s Pregame network opened with energy, emphasizing fast offense, swarming defense, and relentless hustle. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith immediately addressed Week 1 results, acknowledging that it wasn’t the strongest start but pointing to process over outcome. They stressed closing line value as a long-term indicator, comparing it to stock market performance, and noted that Week 1 was dominated by unders, with many offenses struggling to find rhythm. Quarterback uncertainty remained the headline, with Arch Manning’s rocky debut sparking debate. Warner went as far as to call him potentially the most overrated quarterback of all time, while Smith defended him by pointing out the caliber of Ohio State’s elite defense. The discussion then shifted to broader conference takeaways. The ACC impressed in Week 1, particularly Florida State’s big win, while Clemson’s struggles stood out. Cal’s freshman quarterback also earned praise for a breakout performance. The panel agreed that the top of the ACC looks strong with Florida State, Clemson, Duke, and Georgia Tech, while the bottom remains unsettled. From there, the show broke down marquee Week 2 matchups. SMU versus Baylor set the stage, with Baylor’s defensive front and ability to stop explosive plays highlighted as key factors. Despite SMU entering as a small favorite, Smith leaned Baylor’s way, questioning whether SMU had shown enough balance to justify the line. Next, the heated Iowa–Iowa State rivalry came into focus. The history of low-scoring slugfests made the under 41.5 an attractive play. Smith backed Iowa State’s improved offense under Rocco Beck but insisted the real value lay in expecting another defensive battle. Illinois against Duke was another spotlight game. Both teams leaned on defense, but Duke’s elite secondary and Manny Diaz’s blitz-heavy schemes tilted the panel’s confidence toward the Blue Devils. Warner emphasized that road favorites early in the season are often overvalued, making Duke’s home underdog status particularly appealing. The nightcap, Michigan versus Oklahoma, focused on defensive dominance. Brent Venables’ track record of confusing quarterbacks and Michigan’s conservative freshman game plan pointed to another under. Smith’s best angle was the first-half under 23.5, predicting a slow start with heavy ground games, limited big plays, and quarterbacks trying to settle in against relentless defenses. The show wrapped with best bets. Smith locked in Florida minus 17.5 against South Florida, pointing to mismatches in the trenches, Lagway’s deep-ball ability, and Florida’s familiarity with the spread concepts USF runs. Warner sided with the Iowa–Iowa State under 41.5, banking on punts, field position battles, and Kirk Ferentz’s trademark conservative approach. Overall, the podcast captured the essence of early-season handicapping: balancing small-sample overreactions with long-term process discipline. Week 1 brought surprises, quarterback drama, and defensive dominance, but Week 2 promised opportunities with sharp numbers, classic rivalries, and critical matchups that could shape conference races. Whether it was Florida’s talent edge, Duke’s defensive identity, or the under trend in rivalry games, the conversation blended data, betting insight, and storytelling, giving listeners a comprehensive game plan heading into Saturday.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL season win totals. Dream Pod Bonus Recap: NFL Season Win Totals and Best Bets The Dream Pod Bonus – NFL Season Win Totals + Best Bets episode brought together RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers for a sharp, data-driven breakdown of the 2024 NFL season. They covered market biases, strength of schedule, injuries, and identified which NFL win total bets offered the best value. Here’s a streamlined recap by timestamps. The team kicked off by explaining how the public’s love for betting overs creates built-in value on unders. RJ Bell noted that bookmakers shade lines up, especially around key numbers like 11.5 or 12 wins. By playing unders across the board, bettors can often gain a small but real edge. Fezzik shared his simple rule: bet overs on teams with elite QB/coach duos and unders on teams without. RJ pressed him to define “elite” more carefully. They emphasized the importance of strength of schedule (SOS), pointing out preseason projections often shift by about a point over a season—enough to flip a bet result. The Kansas City Chiefs opened at 11.5 wins but dipped to 11.1 in the market. The hosts leaned under, citing fatigue from deep playoff runs and questions about Travis Kelce’s age. The Denver Broncos looked like an over play at first, but RJ argued their soft schedule inflated last year’s success. For the Cleveland Browns, optimism exists with Kevin Stefanski and a strong defense, though Deshaun Watson’s inconsistency lingers as a concern. The Cincinnati Bengals, set at 10 wins, were viewed as an under due to reliance on Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase and a roster vulnerable to injuries. The Washington Commanders overperformed last season by about 1.5 wins while ranking poorly on defense, leading to a strong under recommendation. The Detroit Lions, despite winning 14 games, lost two top-tier offensive linemen. With their line at 10.5 wins, the team could still regress and hit the under. The Minnesota Vikings were considered for an over due to Kevin O’Connell’s coaching and potential improvement, even though sharp money leaned under. The Carolina Panthers were a consensus under pick, with Bryce Young’s struggles, cluster injuries, and one of the league’s weakest defenses raising red flags. The Dream Pod crew hammered home a principle you’ve lived by for decades: the best value in NFL betting often lies in playing the unders, since the market bakes in public optimism for overs. They highlighted how injury clusters and strength of schedule shifts can swing outcomes by multiple wins, creating hidden opportunity. Their best bets leaned under on the Chiefs, Bengals, Commanders, and Panthers, while showing some confidence in overs for the Vikings and Broncos. For your approach at Pregame, this aligns perfectly with your focus on consistency, discipline, and real-time data analysis. Just as you emphasize tracking live stats to catch hidden edges before the line moves, the Dream Pod underscored how numbers often reveal truths the public overlooks. Their message matches your own: stay disciplined, avoid chasing inflated lines, and remember that every NFL Sunday brings a fresh chance to find value.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Saturday. The college football weekend preview opened with an unmistakable energy: offense must play fast, defense must swarm, and every snap must be about outblocking, outtackling, and outhustling the opponent. That tone set the stage for one of the most anticipated slates of the early season, highlighted by heavyweight matchups across the country and a betting landscape ripe with intrigue. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith launched into their breakdown by zeroing in on Texas versus Ohio State in Columbus, a rematch of the Cotton Bowl. Warner admitted his Longhorn bias, but Smith carefully dissected the matchup. He argued that Texas brings more proven quarterback play with Arch Manning stepping in, supported by C.J. Baxter’s return in the backfield and a deep defensive front led by Colin Simmons. Smith emphasized that the key is limiting Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State’s elite wideout. Texas held him to one catch in their last meeting, and repeating that feat would tilt the balance. Still, Warner voiced concern about Arch’s lack of experience under pressure, recalling his struggles against Georgia. The debate crystallized into a clash of proven depth on the Texas side versus the star power of Ohio State’s top-end talent. The conversation shifted to LSU versus Clemson, a contest marked by questions about both coaching staffs. Brian Kelly’s struggles in openers were stacked against Dabo Swinney’s recent SEC failures. Smith forecasted Clemson’s air attack overwhelming LSU’s shaky secondary, citing LSU’s ranking outside the top 95 in coverage metrics. He envisioned Clemson building an early lead and rolling behind their veteran offensive line and fearsome defensive front. From there, attention turned to Virginia Tech versus South Carolina in Atlanta. Smith strongly backed the Hokies as 7.5-point underdogs, noting their improved secondary and linebacker strength against a South Carolina team with turnover issues and significant defensive losses to the NFL draft. Warner added that upsets in college football often break wider than in the NFL, making the Hokies live dogs with upset potential. The final featured matchup was Notre Dame versus Miami, a renewal of a rivalry steeped in history. The surprise was freshman CJ Carr earning the starting quarterback role for Notre Dame. Smith highlighted Miami’s opportunity to exploit Carr’s inexperience, especially if Carson Beck’s balanced attack can lean on a strong run game to offset Notre Dame’s elite man-to-man secondary. With Reuben Bain anchoring Miami’s defense, Smith believed the Hurricanes had the pieces to control tempo and win outright despite being slight underdogs. The show wrapped with best bets. Smith targeted Florida State plus seven in the first half against Alabama, citing Ty Simpson’s inexperience and Florida State’s defensive improvement under Gus Malzahn’s offensive guidance. Warner doubled down on Virginia Tech, preferring the 7.5-point cushion but echoing Smith’s belief that the Hokies could win outright. Both leaned on a consistent theme: early-season volatility favors teams with proven depth and coaching stability over untested quarterbacks in hostile settings. In sum, the weekend preview delivered a thorough guide to Saturday and Sunday’s premier college football games. Texas versus Ohio State hinges on Arch Manning’s poise and Ohio State’s receiving dominance, LSU against Clemson pits explosive passing against a fragile secondary, Virginia Tech offers value against an overvalued SEC foe, and Miami has the tools to stun Notre Dame. For bettors and fans alike, the focus is clear: proven systems, balanced rosters, and situational awareness will dictate who cashes tickets and who leaves week one disappointed.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers focus on the wiseguy QB draft for the upcoming NFL season. Best bets as always. The Dream Podcast kicked off with RJ Bell celebrating the return of football season and unveiling Pregame’s Labor Day promotion: a free $30 best bet plus entry into a no-cost college football contest with a $1,000 prize on the line. From the opening minutes, listeners were reminded this show is equal parts strategy, competition, and entertainment. By the five-minute mark, RJ dug into NFL power ratings, explaining how he stripped out misleading drives such as kneel-downs or possessions inside the two-yard line. His refined numbers surprised the panel: Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, and Buffalo led the league, while Carolina and Cleveland sat at the bottom. Steve Fezzik and McKenzie Rivers debated the shock placements, noting injuries and coaching trends that shaped outcomes. Around the 15-minute timestamp, discussion turned to quarterbacks who skipped preseason snaps. McKenzie’s data showed those QBs historically underperform in Week 1, with unders cashing heavily when both starters sit. That trend fueled bets on marquee matchups like Cowboys-Eagles and Ravens-Bills. At the 20-minute mark, RJ spotlighted Dak Prescott’s sharp decline, citing rankings that placed him last among 24 qualifying passers. His reduced rushing numbers since his major injury led RJ and Fezzik to eye team total unders and passing props. The stage was set for the annual quarterback draft, run snake-style with auction bidding for position. McKenzie opened by taking Josh Allen, Fezzik countered with Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts, while RJ landed Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes. Later rounds brought bold choices like Jayden Daniels, Brock Purdy, Jordan Love, and Baker Mayfield. Side bets flew as each analyst pounced on weak spots: Geno Smith over Prescott, Purdy over Hurts, Bo Nix over Dak. By halftime of the draft, RJ had built a star-heavy lineup, Fezzik leaned on proven veterans, and McKenzie gambled on upside. Just before the hour mark, RJ teased a Monday night special dedicated to season win totals, including a collaborative Pregame entry in a Las Vegas contest. This naturally led into the industry segment, where Fezzik vented about DraftKings raising six-point teaser prices from –120 to –135 and reserving the right to void bets when “unpriced information” breaks. Both he and RJ criticized the moves as hostile to sharp bettors and warned listeners to watch how operators tilt toward casual action. At 1:18, Fezzik gave his Week 1 best bet: Atlanta +2.5 at home against Tampa Bay, citing divisional home dogs’ long-term profitability. McKenzie reinforced his unders, while RJ added context on why Week 1 remains rich for value despite heavily bet lines. The show closed with lighter banter—Vegas nostalgia, classic TV, even collecting vintage casino ashtrays—but the backbone remained the same: sharp football analysis, humor, and actionable advice. From refining drive metrics to debating quarterback ceilings, the podcast delivered insights that bettors can immediately use. The message was simple: in a season full of hype, Pregame focuses on value, discipline, and knowing where the real edges lie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Wednesday. The latest Dream Preview baseball breakdown opened with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner reviewing tough recent beats before diving into Thursday’s slate of Major League Baseball action. Early frustrations centered on bullpen management, where questionable decisions cost winning tickets. Griffin highlighted Bruce Bochy’s choices with the Rangers, while Munaf recapped Jeff Hoffman’s collapse for Toronto. Both acknowledged the natural ebb and flow of a long season but emphasized how frustrating late-game implosions can be when handicapping results were correct until the ninth inning. Attention then shifted to Thursday’s card. The first matchup was Boston at Baltimore. Garrett Crochet’s dominance, particularly on the road, was contrasted with Cade Povich’s struggles at Camden Yards. With Boston in the playoff chase and Baltimore fading, the Red Sox were positioned as strong run-line value. From there the crew evaluated Arizona against Milwaukee, with concerns about the Brewers’ bullpen health and Jose Quintana’s crafty veteran presence. Both leaned toward expecting runs given Milwaukee’s offensive consistency at home. Houston hosting Colorado drew skepticism about laying a steep moneyline price on the Astros when their offense has sputtered. Kyle Freeland’s road history pointed to unders, though the panel admitted Houston needed wins to stay in the AL West race. Pittsburgh at St. Louis prompted a lean toward the under, with Miles Mikolas much stronger at home and Braxton Ashcraft offering upside. The Cubs and Giants series was pegged as a pitcher’s duel between Shota Imanaga and Logan Webb, with a likely under in a low-scoring Oracle Park day game. Atlanta at Philadelphia carried the most intrigue. Cal Quantrill’s move to the Braves and Aaron Nola’s inconsistency created an opening for offense. Both analysts saw double-digit potential and pointed to recent totals easily exceeding posted numbers. The Phillies’ injury issues, especially losing Zach Wheeler, added to the uncertainty but suggested their bullpen would be heavily tested. The evening spotlight was Yankees versus White Sox. Will Warren’s inexperience and Davis Martin’s limited ceiling pointed to offense in Chicago. With both defenses prone to errors and suspect bullpens, the over nine was recommended, while the White Sox as home underdogs were noted as live if their bats clicked. The missing line revealed Mets versus Marlins, with Clay Holmes favored to control the matchup but bullpen risks keeping the over attractive. Best bets were locked in at the end. Griffin chose Yankees–White Sox over nine, citing unreliable pitching and defense. Munaf went with Boston -1.5 behind Crochet’s stellar road form against a struggling Povich. They closed with reminders about Pregame promotions, including a college football contest and Griffin’s discounted 30-day package. Overall the podcast combined raw reactions to recent heartbreakers with sharp handicapping of Thursday’s board. The hosts stressed the importance of finding value across moneylines, run lines, and totals while acknowledging baseball’s volatility. Their insight showed how bullpen management, pitcher splits, and situational motivation shape betting strategy. For bettors tracking MLB daily, this episode offered guidance across multiple matchups and reinforced why patience, discipline, and line shopping remain essential for long-term profit Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Lonte Smith talk NFL season long player props and much more. The 2025 NFL season kicks off with Pregame’s Props Podcast diving into NFL player props and futures betting. Host Munaf Manji (0:05–0:59) returns after last year’s success, joined by Lonte Smith from the College Football Podcast, ready to break down the best season-long prop bets across quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. By the one-minute mark (0:59–1:18), Lonte expresses excitement for profitability and preparation as kickoff approaches. Munaf (1:18–2:34) lays out the plan: four props each across positions, reminding listeners to shop for the best numbers. Quarterbacks open the show. Lonte (2:35–4:16) takes Justin Herbert under 3,650.5 yards, pointing to Jim Harbaugh’s run-heavy approach, the addition of Najee Harris, Herbert’s injury history, and a tough AFC West. Munaf (4:16–6:21) agrees, highlighting Herbert’s inconsistency, weak defenses inflating numbers last year, and how divisional upgrades could suppress his totals. Munaf (6:24–8:59) then targets J.J. McCarthy under 3,650.5 yards. The rookie Viking, fresh off an ACL recovery, faces high expectations equal to top-12 rookie seasons all time. With Justin Jefferson’s hamstring, Addison’s suspension, and a run-first scheme with Aaron Jones, he calls the over unrealistic. Lonte (9:00–10:45) echoes that McCarthy isn’t a gunslinger and won’t consistently reach 300 yards weekly. Running backs bring debate. Lonte (11:22–12:53) bets Breece Hall over 5.5 rushing TDs, boosted by Justin Fields creating lighter boxes and red-zone chances. Munaf (12:59–15:45) takes the opposite side, fading Hall’s rushing yards under 850.5 due to offensive line issues, Fields’ dual-threat style, and negative game scripts forcing the Jets to pass. Receivers headline next. Lonte (18:41–19:32) backs Tyreek Hill over 980.5 yards, calling it a buy-low after last season’s 959 yards. Munaf (21:07–23:21) supports the case, noting Hill’s 82 career TDs and Miami’s playoff-or-bust year. Munaf (23:22–25:33) also hammers Mike Evans over 950.5 yards, citing his decade-long 1,000-yard streak, Mayfield’s trust, and a thin Bucs WR corps. Tight ends feature with Lonte’s favorite play (28:13–30:52): Tyler Warren over 575.5 yards. A first-round pick in an empty Colts WR room, Warren projects as a focal point. Munaf (31:14–35:11) agrees, pointing to his 6’6” frame and red zone upside. For his final pick, Munaf (31:14–35:11) highlights Drake London over 1,225.5 yards, citing Michael Penix Jr.’s arm and London’s 100-catch, 1,271-yard 2023. Lonte (35:12–37:08) compares London to Mike Evans and sees expanded slot usage boosting targets. They close with bonus leans: George Pickens over 875.5 yards in Dallas’ pass-first system (38:00–39:19), Bucky Irving over 1,000.5 rushing yards if he seizes RB1 (41:27–43:49), and Matthew Stafford unders given lingering back injuries (43:50–44:55). Both spotlight C.J. Stroud (44:59–49:14) as a breakout candidate with new weapons, betting angles pointing to potential MVP value at 25–30/1. This debut 2025 Props Podcast underscores why NFL season-long player prop betting is surging: sharp handicapping, injury context, scheme fits, and matchup analysis. From Herbert and McCarthy unders to Hill, Evans, Warren, and London overs, the insights offer bettors actionable edges for the new season. Learn more about your ad choices.
