NFL Week 9 Recap + MNF Preview !!
2026/11/09
Munaf Manji, SleepyJ and Dave Essler talk betting for the NFL. Favorites ruled NFL Week 9, going 13 and 1 straight up and 10, 2 and 1 against the spread, and Munaf Manji, Uncle Dave Essler and Sleepy J break down every result on this edition of the Weekend Rewind from the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The crew opens with honest reflections on a rough Sunday before heading to Madrid around the 3 minute mark, where Joe Burrow threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns and Chase caught 10 passes for 155 yards in a 34 to 17 Bengals win. Uncle Dave calls the Falcons a fade no matter the price, while Sleepy J points to Atlanta ranking 29th in third down conversions and turnovers. Near the 8 minute mark the focus shifts to Dallas, which outgained Indianapolis 508 to 271 behind 195 receiving yards from CeeDee Lamb yet committed 14 penalties in a 27 to 23 win that may have been the final game for Jonathan Taylor as a Colt. The panel also covers the Jessie Bates trade to Jacksonville and a Jake Ferguson knee injury before Kansas City handles the Jets 35 to 12 behind three Kenneth Walker touchdowns, with a Patrick Mahomes elbow scare and a Xavier Worthy hamstring injury worth watching. Around the 19 minute mark Detroit grinds out a 19 to 9 win in Miami by converting all four fourth down tries, and the Saints edge Cleveland 23 to 22 in overtime after the Browns go for two, a decision Sleepy J and Uncle Dave both question. The Giants beat the Eagles 19 to 11 in a game with 13 combined sacks, and Sleepy J predicts Nick Sirianni will not last the season. Past the half hour mark Puka Nacua catches 14 passes as the Rams top Washington 20 to 13, Denver survives Carolina 26 to 21 despite being outgained, and C.J. Stroud throws five touchdowns in a 44 to 22 rout that drops the Chargers to 0 and 8, prompting Sleepy J to call them the doormat of the league while Uncle Dave surprisingly leans toward the Chargers getting 5.5 points in Baltimore. Near the 50 minute mark Green Bay routs New England 45 to 27 as Drake Maye throws three interceptions, and Uncle Dave, a Patriots fan, says he would bet them to miss the playoffs. San Francisco forces five second half turnovers to beat the Raiders 38 to 17, and Uncle Dave makes the case for the over in the Raiders game against Seattle next week. Just past the one hour mark Seattle beats Arizona 17 to 3 behind Drew Lock, then Chicago survives four Caleb Williams interceptions to beat Tampa Bay 27 to 24 on Sunday Night Football as Todd Bowles earns credit for his halftime adjustments. The show closes at about 1 hour 12 minutes with a Monday Night Football preview of the Buffalo Bills at the Minnesota Vikings, where Carson Wentz starts for the injured Kyler Murray. Uncle Dave backs the Vikings, citing a Buffalo defense that keeps allowing 29 or more points and a Minnesota defense that held the Bears to three, while Sleepy J refuses to fade Josh Allen laying three. Munaf Manji has his own pick posted at Pregame.com, where 20 dollars gets you 100 Bulk Dollars through midnight tonight. Connecting…Claude is AI and can make mistakes.

NFL Week 9 Weekend Preview + Best Bets
2026/11/06
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL betting for Week 9 Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler break down the NFL Week 9 betting card on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, opening at 00:06 with Munaf riding an 18 and 2 NFL run and bracing for regression while Dave reflects on how hot and cold streaks can mislead any bettor who forgets that neither one tells the whole story. At 02:51 the show heads to Madrid, where the Falcons catch three points against the Bengals with a total near 52.5, and Dave makes the case that Atlanta is the sharp side because 82 percent of the tickets on Cincinnati still have not moved the line through three, adding that the scoreless Falcons effort in a Tampa Bay storm should be thrown out entirely. His best bet is the Falcons team total over 23.5, while Munaf likes Michael Penix Jr passing yards and a monster day for Bijan Robinson with Brian Robinson Jr out with a hamstring injury. At 08:19 the focus shifts to Denver at Carolina, a game Dave openly says he hates, yet three quarters of the money on the Broncos has not pushed the number to three, so he lands on the under 44.5 because a close game points to a lower score, while Munaf backs the Panthers plus 2.5, citing a 16 and 7 record against the spread off a loss under Dave Canales and extra rest after a Thursday night game. At 15:59 the hosts move to Foxborough, where the Patriots lay three against the Packers despite a long injury list, and Dave dismisses the noise, notes Green Bay cannot run the ball, and takes New England at home in a late afternoon kickoff that should feel like a night game, leaning to the over, while Munaf eyes the Patriots team total over 23.5. At 24:01 Sunday Night Football brings Tampa Bay to Chicago with the Bears laying six, and although both hosts respect the points, Baker Mayfield has barely thrown in two weeks, the Bears have scored 30 plus in three straight games, and Ben Johnson is 10 and 4 against the spread at home, so Chicago is the call, with a tease or the money line as options. At 34:34 Munaf explains his one star play on the winless Chargers plus six against Houston, and Dave fully agrees, calling Los Angeles the sharp side and liking the under. At 38:39 the show covers Shedeur Sanders starting for Cleveland, the Jacoby Brissett trade from Arizona to Baltimore, Drew Lock starting for Seattle and Carson Wentz starting Monday night for Minnesota, before Dave offers quick hits at 40:44 on the Eagles with Joe Milton, Washington plus 4.5 against the Rams and Miami getting a touchdown against Detroit. The episode closes at 43:17 with early Week 10 value on the Steelers plus 3.5 against a Bengals team returning from Spain and Kansas City minus three at Atlanta before the number moves.

NFL Week 9 Player Props
2026/11/05
Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Player props for Week 9. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return to the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for the NFL Week 9 props edition, with the best bets sitting at five and three on the season for plus 3.40 units and Sleepy coming off a four and one week. At 1:35 the hosts sort through a wild quarterback carousel, as Jacoby Brissett is benched and dealt to Baltimore, Gardner Minshew takes over in Arizona, Deshaun Watson enters concussion protocol with Shedeur Sanders on deck, Joe Milton replaces Tanner McKee in Philadelphia, and Sam Darnold is sidelined by a quad injury that hands Seattle to Drew Lock. At 3:05 Sleepy opens with Michael Penix Jr. over 219.5 passing yards against a Cincinnati defense that has been shredded by Aaron Rodgers, Cam Ward, C.J. Stroud, Trevor Lawrence and Tyler Huntley, and at 4:58 Munaf reveals the identical play, calling it a classic buy low spot after a four interception outing. At 5:59 Sleepy backs Christian McCaffrey over 60.5 rushing yards against the second worst run defense in the league and urges listeners to pair it with a Kaelon Black rushing over once that number posts, and Munaf admits he had the same play written down. At 9:13 Munaf turns to Jonathan Taylor over 18.5 receiving yards against Dallas, noting 202 receiving yards on the season and four straight games over the number, while Sleepy argues the Colts want to showcase Taylor as a three down back for trade suitors and calls it one of the strongest plays of the year. At 13:08 Sleepy takes Dolphins rookie Caleb Douglas over 38.5 receiving yards against a Detroit defense missing linebacker Jack Campbell, and Munaf flags Malik Willis over 1.5 passing touchdowns since every quarterback to face the Lions this season has thrown at least two. At 17:01 Munaf rides Malik Nabers over 72.5 receiving yards against Philadelphia after four straight games above 110 yards with J.J. McCarthy leaning on him, while Sleepy sees both sides with Quinyon Mitchell likely in coverage. At 21:07 Sleepy plays Sam LaPorta over 43.5 receiving yards against a Miami defense ranked third worst against tight ends, and at 23:13 Munaf counters with Harold Fannin Jr. over 41.5 receiving yards against New Orleans, backed by his target share in Shedeur Sanders starts. At 26:13 the touchdown props arrive with Kaelon Black at plus 260 and Fannin at plus 210 on DraftKings, with Sleepy noting the books seem eager to limit action on the rookie. At 29:47 Sleepy details the Pregame.com offer, a free 25 dollars just for signing up plus code RUSHING15 for 15 dollars off any pick. At 30:45 the hosts lock in the official best bet, Drew Lock over 210.5 passing yards against Arizona, citing his 235 yard, three touchdown performance against the same Cardinals in Week 2 and a betting market that undervalues backup quarterbacks in moments of league wide panic. The episode wraps with Sleepy recounting a survivor pool exit at the hands of Gardner Minshew and Munaf noting that Kyler Murray is in doubt for Monday night with Carson Wentz on standby ahead of a Tuesday trade deadline.

CFB Week 10 Preview + Best Bets !!
2026/11/05
Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for CFB Week 10. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return to RJ Bell Dream Preview from Pregame.com fresh off a 2 and 0 week and break down one of the most loaded Saturdays of the college football season. At 0:32 Lonte recaps the latest winners, including the outright Iowa State cash from Dave, before the show heads to Columbia at 1:42 for Texas at Missouri. Dave makes his position clear at 2:56, saying he does not trust Texas, pointing to a Missouri team that is unbeaten at home and has allowed just 33 points to three SEC opponents, and taking the Tigers plus 2.5 with the under. Lonte backs him at 5:01, noting the line refusing to reach three, a power rating that makes the game a pick, and a Texas offensive line without left tackle Trevor Goosby facing a Missouri front that could force Arch Manning to speed up, while the return of Ahmad Hardy alongside Jamal Roberts gives the Tigers a dangerous backfield. At 6:38 the focus shifts to LSU hosting Alabama, with both teams at 6 and 2 and a third loss likely ending their playoff hopes. Dave argues at 7:48 that Alabama has fallen further than people think and names the LSU team total over as his top angle, while Lonte adds at 9:46 that the Tigers rank first nationally in net adjusted EPA per play and that Sam Leavitt simply needs to protect the football. The marquee matchup arrives at 11:24 as No. 1 Miami visits Notre Dame, where the Hurricanes have not won since 1984 and a Malachi Toney ankle injury has moved money toward the Irish. Dave delivers the most memorable take of the night at 12:27, telling fans to rip up their Miami title tickets and comparing Darian Mensah to Gino Torretta and Ken Dorsey before playing the Notre Dame team total over. Lonte prefers the full game over at 14:48 and believes CJ Carr leads the Irish to a double digit win. At 16:20 the hosts preview Georgia laying 3.5 at Ole Miss in a rematch of last season playoff game won by the Rebels, with Lonte leaning on the home dog because Gunner Stockton thrives against the blitz. Dave counters at 18:23 with the under as his best bet in the game, plus Ole Miss in the first quarter, and Lonte adds that sharp angle to his own card. The Holy War follows at 20:54 as BYU visits unbeaten Utah, and Dave takes BYU plus the points at 22:23, citing three straight series wins and the steady preparation of Kalani Sitake, while Lonte leans BYU and the under at 24:19 but passes, weighing a strong Utah offensive line and the elusiveness of Devon Dampier against the need for Bear Bachmeier to test the Utah secondary. The best bets come next, with Dave taking Air Force plus 3 at Army at 26:10 and Lonte grabbing UConn plus 7 against North Carolina at 28:01, pointing to a Huskies team that is 3 and 1 against the spread at home and a Tar Heels team that is 0 and 2 as a favorite after two high leverage games. From 29:21 the hosts run the rest of the card, liking unders in Florida State at Boston College, UCLA at Minnesota, Oregon at Ohio State and Kentucky at Tennessee, backing Appalachian State against Georgia State, taking South Carolina and LaNorris Sellers at home against Texas A&M, leaning Florida and the under against Oklahoma, and debating whether West Virginia plus 17.5 can find a back door against Texas Tech. It is a complete betting guide to a Saturday packed with playoff stakes, delivered with sharp numbers, honest opinions and a few laughs along the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

NFL Week 8 Recap + MNF Preview !!
2026/11/02
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler recap NFL Week 8. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler break down every Sunday game from NFL Week 8, hunt for early Week 9 value and deliver their Monday Night Football read on the Chicago Bears at the Seattle Seahawks on this episode from the Pregame.com Podcast Network. At 1:45 the show opens with the biggest story of the week, as Lamar Jackson leaves the Bills game in the first quarter with a thumb injury on his throwing hand that requires surgery and a move to injured reserve, and backup Tyler Huntley follows with a turf toe injury, forcing Baltimore to its emergency quarterback in a 36 to 10 loss. Buffalo outgains the Ravens 426 to 144, and Uncle Dave makes the Ravens team total under against Jacksonville his first Thursday night play. At 6:38 the Bengals need overtime to survive the Titans 43 to 36 despite 462 passing yards and five touchdowns from Joe Burrow, and Dave explains why he wants to buy Cincinnati but simply cannot trust that defense after it allowed 158 rushing yards. At 11:38 Gardner Minshew and Tyler Allgeier rally the Cardinals past the Cowboys 33 to 30 in overtime, Arizona outgains Dallas 467 to 261, and Dave says nothing changes in Dallas until Jerry Jones changes while flagging the Cowboys team total over at Indianapolis. At 17:57 the Lions hand the Vikings their first loss 19 to 15, and Dave would take Minnesota catching a field goal at home against Buffalo on Monday Night Football while leaning Miami as Detroit lays seven on the road. At 22:22 the Patriots beat the Dolphins 24 to 19 but Miami covers late, cashing a large ticket for Dave, who now likes the over in Patriots and Packers. At 26:40 the Raiders outlast the Jets 38 to 33 behind two Brock Bowers touchdowns and two defensive or special teams scores, and Dave wants to fade the Jets sooner rather than later. At 31:00 the Steelers run for nearly 200 yards in a 27 to 6 win over the Browns, while Dave questions whether that ground game is sustainable and leans New Orleans in Week 9. At 35:57 Tampa Bay runs for 324 yards in a weather soaked 16 to 0 shutout of Atlanta with Baker Mayfield attempting just three passes, and Dave targets Falcons overs going forward. At 39:41 the Jaguars crush a Colts team in full fire sale mode 42 to 7, at 44:11 the Rams handle the winless Chargers 24 to 9, and Dave likes Washington plus 5.5 against the Rams while Munaf would lay 4.5 with Houston against the Chargers. At 48:39 Bo Nix and the Broncos rally past the Chiefs 28 to 24 with a 15 to 0 fourth quarter, and Munaf backs Carolina plus three at home off extra rest. At 53:31 the Commanders beat the Eagles 27 to 10 on Sunday Night Football, and Dave says Philadelphia has bigger problems than anyone realizes when Saquon Barkley is held to 30 yards, backing the Giants on the moneyline next week. At 59:32 the crew previews Bears at Seahawks, with Seattle laying three and drifting toward 3.5 on a total of 46.5. Dave doubts Jeffery Simmons moves the needle in less than a week and sides with the Seahawks, who cannot afford a fourth loss, while Munaf notes Seattle has not allowed 200 passing yards to any quarterback this season but would grab the Bears at plus 3.5 and lean over. Munaf also reminds listeners that promo code NFL26 unlocks one month of his NFL All Access at Pregame.com for 99 dollars through November 9, and Dave closes with a reminder to stay disciplined as college basketball season begins.

CFB Week 9 Preview + Best Bets !!
2026/10/29
Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk CFB betting for Week 9. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return to RJ Bell’s Dream Preview from Pregame.com with a five-game breakdown of the Week 9 college football card and best bets for the weekend. At 0:31 Lonte sets the scoreboard, with Dave at 7 and 1 on best bets and 10 and 6 overall while Lonte looks to climb out of a 3 and 5 hole. At 2:12 the show opens with Florida and Georgia, moved from Jacksonville to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for the first time in 30 years, with Georgia laying 11.5 and a total of 55.5 to 56. Dave explains why the rivalry means more to the Gators, why Georgia may struggle to cover both this game and next week at Ole Miss, and why Florida has scored exactly 20 points in each of the last four meetings. Both hosts land on the under, with Lonte citing offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner’s past success against Kirby Smart and adding the first half under at 28.5, while Dave expects Jon Sumrall to shorten the game behind Jadan Baugh. At 7:58 the focus shifts to Clemson at Florida State in prime time on ACC Network, where Dave lays the points at anything under a touchdown against a Clemson offense whose best output came against FCS Charleston Southern, and Lonte agrees, noting Clemson has only two passing touchdowns all season and adding the under at 50.5. At 12:07 the hosts split on No. 22 Arizona at Texas Tech, with Lonte backing the Red Raiders to rebound from a loss to Cincinnati and Dave taking Arizona and the points behind Noah Fifita, refusing to flip a pick he wrote out early. At 16:13 No. 20 Northwestern visits Oregon with the Ducks laying 3.5, Dylan Raiola under center, a new play caller in Eugene and Chip Kelly returning to Autzen as Northwestern’s offensive coordinator, and both hosts like the under at 47.5 as Dave notes Oregon has scored just 42 points in its last three games. At 20:23 the marquee game arrives as No. 2 Ohio State visits USC with freshman Luke Fahey making his first career start, and Dave lays the 6.5 by leaning on the nation’s third best scoring defense and two weeks of preparation, while both hosts like the USC team total under. At 25:56 Dave delivers his best bet on Iowa State plus 9.5 at home against Oklahoma State, and at 27:54 Lonte answers with Oregon minus 3.5. At 28:43 Dave adds the over in Cal at NC State and reads the market on Maryland plus 2.5 against Illinois, calling the Terps the sharp side with the money on Maryland despite most tickets on Illinois. At 31:44 the show closes with a look at how playoff money, recruiting, NIL and coaching bonuses will shape motivation across the final month of the regular season.

NFL Week 8 Player Props
2026/10/29
Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 8 Player Props. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return to the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with the NFL Week 8 player props edition, delivering one prop at every offensive position, two touchdown scorers and an agreed upon best bet. Munaf arrives riding back to back perfect weeks on his player props, while Sleepy J finally cashed a touchdown prop last week. At 1:27 Munaf flags the Colts fire sale and the Josh Downs trade request, urging bettors to watch the injury report and trade wire closely. At 2:20 Sleepy J opens the quarterback segment with Aaron Rodgers under 219.5 passing yards, citing a Cleveland pass rush that sacked Rodgers five times in the first meeting, a shaky Steelers offensive line, and a receiver room without Roman Wilson and Michael Pittman Jr. He expects Pittsburgh to lean on Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren. At 4:17 Munaf adds the post international trip letdown angle, then fades his own fantasy quarterback with Caleb Williams under 229.5 passing yards on Monday Night Football, noting that no quarterback has reached 200 passing yards against the Seattle defense this season. At 7:17 Sleepy J plays Ollie Gordon II under 76.5 rushing plus receiving yards against a healthier Patriots run defense, pointing to limited receiving work and a likely negative game script for Miami. At 9:59 Munaf counters with Tony Pollard over 60.5 rushing yards against the Bengals after Pollard rumbled for 129 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries against the Browns, while Sleepy J warns that a blowout could cost Pollard late carries. At 12:45 Sleepy J backs Tee Higgins over 66.5 receiving yards, calling him a top ten wide receiver and a matchup nightmare, and Munaf notes that Chase missed Wednesday practice with an ankle issue. At 15:03 Munaf takes Zay Flowers over 76.5 receiving yards as Lamar Jackson returns for a high total showdown in Buffalo, highlighting a 137 yard effort last week and long catches of 54, 52, 31 and 48 yards. At 18:30 Sleepy J plays Hunter Henry over 3.5 receptions and over 38.5 receiving yards against a Miami defense that has been gashed by tight ends, and at 20:21 Munaf reveals the same yardage over, the first time in eight weeks the hosts have matched on a player prop. At 21:40 Sleepy J calls Trey McBride to score at minus 125 against Dallas, noting how few players in the league see more targets, and Munaf co signs before adding a 5 to 1 long shot on Justice Hill against the Bills at 23:10. At 24:42 the hosts share the Pregame.com offer, with code NERD26 unlocking one month of picks from Munaf for 99 dollars as he sits up 29.05 NFL units. At 26:56 the agreed upon best bet arrives, Ashton Jeanty over 27.5 receiving yards against the Jets. Jeanty has cleared that number in every game but one, with recent totals of 37, 68, 50, 36 and 61 receiving yards, and Sleepy J argues that a Raiders offensive line that cannot run block forces Las Vegas to get Jeanty the ball through the air with Kirk Cousins at quarterback. The episode closes at 31:32 with a look ahead to the Friday weekend preview alongside Uncle Dave Essler and a discussion of the 18 and 2 run Munaf has put together over his last 20 NFL plays, with Sleepy J reminding bettors that streaks like this are rare and worth riding.

NFL Week 7 - Weekend Preview !!
2026/10/23
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL betting for Sunday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler deliver the NFL Week 7 Weekend Preview on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, sharpening sides, totals, player props and Survivor picks with Friday injury reports in hand. The episode opens at 0:00 with a Thursday Night Football recap, as Cairo Santos split the uprights from 58 yards late to send Bears vs Patriots over the total while Chicago covered in a 30 to 24 win. At 1:56 the conversation moves to Paris, where the Steelers lay three against the Saints with a total of 44.5. Dave argues both recent wins were really about the opponent beating itself, and backs Pittsburgh, the under and a Saints team total under, while Munaf leans on Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard and a T.J. Watt pass rush against Tyler Shough. At 5:31 the hosts tackle 49ers at Falcons, with Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans all out for San Francisco. Dave calls it the game he least wants to touch, and both lean under if the total climbs to 50. At 10:13 Baker Mayfield returns for Tampa Bay, but a total that dropped despite heavy over money pushes Dave toward Carolina and the under, with Tetairoa McMillan receiving overs his favorite angle and Munaf backing Panthers minus three. At 14:52 the Bengals come off a bye to face a Ravens team with a limping Lamar Jackson, and both hosts side with Cincinnati as Munaf makes the case for Ja’Marr Chase over 78.5 receiving yards after games of 193, 264, 110 and 132 yards in his last four meetings with Baltimore. At 20:03 Packers at Lions carries a 53.5 total, with Dave on the Lions team total over and Munaf on the over plus a Packers team total over 25.5 as Josh Jacobs returns and Detroit sits 5 and 0 to the over. At 24:39 the Rams visit Las Vegas without Davante Adams and with Puka Nacua questionable, and both hosts take the Raiders as home underdogs under Klint Kubiak with Kirk Cousins playing efficient football. At 29:05 Sunday Night Football brings the Chiefs to the defending champion Seahawks, where Dave explains how Kenneth Walker III can help Eric Bieniemy attack the Aden Durde defense he practiced against for years, and both hosts take Kansas City plus three while Munaf adds Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards. At 34:31 the guys trade quick takes on Dolphins vs Jets and Browns vs Titans, with Dave leaning Tennessee against heavy public money on Cleveland. At 36:41 Munaf highlights the free Beat JRO NBA Contest and promo code AUDIBLE20 at Pregame.com for 20 dollars off one month of NFL and college football picks. At 39:09 the Survivor segment names the Texans and Vikings as the top options, with the Cardinals, Dolphins and Panthers offered as flyers for multi entry players. The show wraps at 42:51 with a promise to recap the weekend and preview Cowboys vs Eagles on Monday Night Football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
NFL Week 7 Player Props
2026/10/22
Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 7. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with the NFL Week 7 player props podcast from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, delivering four player props each, two anytime touchdown plays and the pod best bet. Munaf arrives after sweeping his player props four and zero last week, and the pod best bet cashed comfortably on Matthew Golden on Sunday Night Football, while Sleepy notes that every pick on this episode also went out to his clients. The quarterback segment begins near the 2 minute mark with Sleepy taking Kyler Murray over 202.5 passing yards, arguing that a Colts pass defense that faced Athan Kaliakmanis, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Ward looks better than it is, while a rested Vikings offense gets Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Mason back with Justin Jefferson expected to play. Around the 4 minute mark Munaf flips to the other side with Daniel Jones to throw an interception at minus 119, pointing to a Brian Flores defense that has intercepted every quarterback it has faced except Malik Willis and to Jones throwing a pick in all three career meetings with Minnesota. The running back props follow at the 7 minute mark, as Sleepy backs Ashton Jeanty over 79.5 rushing plus receiving yards against a Rams run defense ranked seventh worst, with Davante Adams out and Jeanty drawing six or more targets in five of his last six games, and Munaf answers near the 10 minute mark with Bijan Robinson over 26.5 receiving yards against a 49ers defense that allows just under 80 rushing yards per game but gives up 46 receiving yards per game to running backs. Sleepy opens the wide receiver segment at the 13 minute mark with DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard both over 4.5 catches against the Saints in Paris after the duo combined for 27 targets last week in a quick release Aaron Rodgers offense, with a parlay of both available at plus 170. Munaf counters near the 17 minute mark with Malik Nabers over 68.5 receiving yards as JJ McCarthy starts against a Texans secondary allowing 195.5 receiving yards per game, though Sleepy warns a new quarterback could try to do too much against a defense that has finally woken up. At tight end near the 22 minute mark, Sleepy lays chalk on Tucker Kraft to record four or more receptions at minus 190 against a Lions defense that has allowed nine touchdowns and more than 500 yards to the position, and Munaf fades Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards in Seattle, citing a Seahawks unit allowing roughly 25 yards per game to tight ends and an ankle injury that limited Kelce in practice, while Sleepy pushes back that Patrick Mahomes leans on a healthier Kelce in big games. The touchdown props arrive at the 31 minute mark with Sleepy predicting a two and zero week behind Kyren Williams at minus 155 and Munaf taking Jaylen Warren at minus 120 against a Saints defense that has allowed a rushing touchdown to every opposing running back. Sleepy then highlights the Beat JR contest for the NBA season and code TOUCHDOWN20 for 20 dollars off a month of NFL and college football picks at Pregame.com. The episode closes at the 36 minute mark with the pod best bet, now four and two on the season, on Ja’Marr Chase over 78.5 receiving yards against Baltimore, as Chase comes off the Bengals bye with at least 12 targets and 110 yards in each of his last four meetings with the Ravens, a matchup Marlon Humphrey admitted he would rather avoid.

World Series Preview + Best Bets !!
2026/10/22
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk World Series betting. Cash That Ticket returns for one more baseball session as Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler deliver the official 2026 World Series preview from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays with series prices, exact game props, MVP odds and their official picks. The episode opens at the 1 minute mark with Dave noting these were the two best teams in their leagues all season, yet few expected either to be here. Near the 2 minute mark Munaf lays out the resumes, with the Brewers winning the NL Central at 103 and 59 under Pat Murphy, posting a league best plus 214 run differential, going 55 and 26 at home and sweeping the Dodgers, while the Rays topped the AL East at 98 and 64 under Kevin Cash with the same home record. DraftKings lists Milwaukee at minus 165 and Tampa Bay at plus 145. At the 4 minute mark Dave frames Game 1 as rest or rust for Jacob Misiorowski, who has not pitched in nearly two weeks, and points to a pricing gap with the Brewers around minus 215 in the first five innings but only minus 161 for the full game despite the better bullpen. Munaf follows near the 6 minute mark with postseason numbers, including a 2.03 staff ERA for Milwaukee and a 2.59 mark for Tampa Bay, and the 7 minute mark brings Dave to a contrarian look at the first five over 3 in Game 1, reasoning that everyone expects a low scoring game. Near the 10 minute mark Munaf calls both managers elite and praises Drew Rasmussen, who has allowed three earned runs in 21 postseason innings with a 1.29 ERA. Dave answers at the 12 minute mark that Game 1 matters more to Milwaukee because of expectations, gives Kevin Cash a slight edge and takes the Rays at plus 145, arguing shortened postseason rotations narrow the gap. At the 14 minute mark Munaf runs through the series menu, with over 5.5 games at minus 180, over 6.5 games at plus 205 and Brewers to win Game 1 and the series at plus 120, and Dave calls Game 2, likely Logan Henderson against Freddy Peralta, the pivotal game, noting Peralta knows the Brewers lineup better than anyone. The MVP market comes up near the 17 minute mark with four of the top five favorites on Milwaukee, Junior Caminero the lone Rays name and Peralta at 40 to 1. Munaf makes his official pick at the 18 minute mark, Brewers to win the World Series at minus 165 plus Brewers to win Game 1 and the series at plus 120, and imagines a scoreless duel decided by the bullpens. Near the 22 minute mark the hosts note neither franchise has won a title, with the Brewers falling to the Cardinals in seven games in 1982, and Dave tabs Chandler Simpson and Jake Bauers as the unexpected heroes who could swing the series, while Munaf adds Christian Yelich chasing his first ring and Yandy Díaz after his big home run in the ALCS clincher. At the 26 minute mark Dave adds Rays plus 1.5 games at minus 145, and Munaf closes with the schedule, the free Beat JR contest for up to 1,000 dollars in Pregame bucks and code REPLAY20 for 20 dollars off 30 days of NFL and college football picks through November 2. Both hosts agree on one final point, this series will not be a sweep. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
CFB Week 8 Predictions + Best Bets !!
2026/10/22
Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for College Football Week 8 Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return for Week 8 of the RJ Bell Dream Preview from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, delivering a sharp college football betting breakdown with sides, totals, team totals and two best bets. Dave arrives on a heater with only one best bet loss all season after cashing Air Force last week, while Lonte sits at three and four and is chasing a return to break even and beyond. The episode opens near the 1 minute mark with Tennessee visiting South Carolina, where the Gamecocks are favored by 2.5 as an unranked team against a ranked opponent, a spot Lonte notes has produced 63 wins and 33 losses straight up in his Power 4 sample. Dave points to five straight high scoring meetings and the ability of LaNorris Sellers to put points on the board as reasons to back the Gamecocks and the over, while Lonte also sides with South Carolina on the moneyline but expects a defensive game against a Tennessee unit under Jim Knowles that leads the nation in scoring defense, allows about 159 passing yards per game and has 30 sacks through seven games, with the Vols quarterback situation between Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre still unsettled. Around the 6 minute mark the hosts move to USC at Wisconsin, and both like the Badgers and the under, with Dave citing a Wisconsin defense whose only losses came to UCLA and Notre Dame, a revenge angle from 2024 and a Luke Fickell program that needs this game more, while Lonte highlights a secondary ranked 10th in EPA per pass allowed and suggests grabbing plus 3 where available despite a penalty problem that cost the Badgers more than 100 yards last week. Virginia Tech at Clemson follows near the 11 minute mark, with both hosts on the under in Death Valley as Clemson has failed to top 28 points against any FBS opponent and has thrown just two touchdown passes in six games, while Lonte waits on a 3 to back James Franklin and the Hokies and likes the first half under as well. At the 15 minute mark LSU visits Auburn laying 7, and Lonte sees Lane Kiffin and his Tigers pulling away late for a double digit win, while Dave prefers Auburn plus the points and the under, noting that Alex Golesh and his team already beat Georgia and that LSU still looks overvalued. The strongest agreement comes near the 20 minute mark on Ole Miss plus 3.5 at Texas, as Lonte calls Trinidad Chambliss the best player on the field with Colin Simmons likely out for Texas, and Dave argues the Rebels play with a chip on their shoulder while the Longhorns have fallen from first to 19th in ten days. Dave delivers his best bet at the 24 minute mark, taking Stanford plus 6.5 against NC State on Friday night and fading an ACC team traveling coast to coast, and Lonte answers at the 25 minute mark with Tulsa on the moneyline against Army, pointing to a defensive line that has now seen three straight option style quarterbacks and a series of Army games in which nine of the last ten against FBS teams were decided by four points or fewer. The rapid fire segment covers Indiana at Michigan, where both like the under and Michigan plus 7, a Texas Tech team total over at Cincinnati, Oklahoma and the Mississippi State team total under in the Jeff Lebby Bowl, an Aggies team total under at Alabama, North Dakota State plus 4.5 at New Mexico on a market move Dave calls a math problem, and a Houston team total under at Utah where altitude could take a toll after halftime. The show closes with a reminder about accountability, shopping for the best number and betting responsibly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
