2026/10/20
We're BACK with Early Week Leans for NFL Week 7, and Keyshawn Johnson is in the building. Danny, Gavin and Keyshawn go game by game, brick by brick, through every single matchup on the Week 7 slate. Who's actually good in this league? Nobody knows. Underdogs keep winning outright, the good teams look bad, and the bad teams look good. We kick it off with Patriots-Bears on Thursday night, then fly over to Paris for Steelers-Saints. Danny's taking the stage for his own Super Bowl, Broncos-Cardinals, where he'll be boots on the ground in Glendale. Then it's Chiefs-Seahawks on Sunday Night Football and Cowboys-Eagles to close out Monday night. And to finish the show, Keyshawn gives you his parlay for the week.
Hop in, the water is warm. Drop your early lean in the comments.
Time to make some money.

Best Bets College Football: Ohio State-Indiana, Florida-Texas, Miss St-LSU, Alabama-Tennesse, Missouri-Ole Miss
2026/10/15
Week 7 is here.
The early window opens with one of the biggest games of the college football season. No. 4 Ohio State heads to Bloomington to face No. 5 Indiana, with the Buckeyes entering as 3.5-point road favorites. A top-five Big Ten showdown with major playoff implications. Elsewhere, Mississippi State heads to Death Valley to face LSU, where the Tigers are laying two touchdowns at home.
The afternoon brings Missouri at Ole Miss. The Rebels enter as roughly six-point favorites, looking to build on a dominant win over Vanderbilt. Missouri comes in with momentum of its own, setting up another SEC matchup that could have major implications in the conference race.
The night window belongs to the SEC. Alabama heads to Knoxville to face Tennessee in the Third Saturday in October rivalry. The Crimson Tide are favored by 8.5 on the road, but Neyland Stadium is never an easy place to play, especially in one of college football's biggest rivalries.
Ohio State-Indiana. Mississippi State in Death Valley. Missouri-Ole Miss. Alabama-Tennessee. Four massive games, conference title implications, and plenty of opportunities for an upset. October football is heating up. Drop your favorite Saturday bet in the comments. 🏈

Best Bets Thursday Night Football: Broncos-Seahawks
2026/10/14
Week 6 starts in Denver.
Thursday Night Football brings Seahawks at Broncos. Both teams enter 3-2, but they're coming off very different Sundays. Denver rallied for a 23-17 road win over the Chargers, while Seattle suffered a frustrating 32-29 loss to the undefeated 49ers, turning the ball over four times.
The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks are looking to bounce back behind Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year. But Darnold has thrown five interceptions over his last three games, and Denver's defense will be looking to take advantage. On the other side, Bo Nix and Sean Payton are trying to find consistency offensively against a Seattle defense that has yet to allow 200 passing yards in a game this season.
Now the Seahawks head into Mile High on a short week, where Denver will break out its throwback uniforms for a primetime showdown. The Broncos have a chance to move to 4-2 and make a statement against the defending champs, while Seattle is trying to avoid back-to-back losses with Kansas City waiting next week.
Seahawks-Broncos. Thursday night. Darnold and JSN against Bo Nix and a Denver defense looking to make life difficult at Mile High.
Week 6 starts under the lights in Denver. Drop your favorite Thursday night bet in the comments. 🏈

Best Bets College Football Week 6: Georgia-Alabama, Texas-Oklahoma, UCLA-Oregon, USC-Penn State
2026/10/09
Week 6 is here.
The early window opens with Indiana at Nebraska and Texas A&M at Missouri. Indiana looks to keep rolling in the Big Ten, while Missouri is coming off a statement win over Florida and looking to build momentum in the SEC.
The afternoon belongs to one of college football’s greatest rivalries. No. 1 Texas meets Oklahoma in Dallas for the Red River Shootout. Neutral field, split stadium, and a rivalry where records rarely tell the whole story. Elsewhere, UCLA heads to Oregon for a ranked Big Ten showdown, while Tennessee travels to Arkansas for another SEC battle.
The night window is loaded. USC heads across the country to face Penn State under the lights in Happy Valley. But the headliner is No. 2 Georgia at No. 6 Alabama. Two SEC powerhouses, both with championship expectations, meeting in Tuscaloosa for one of the biggest games of the season.

Best Bets Thursday Night Football: Cowboys vs Buccaneers
2026/10/08
Week 5 starts in Dallas.
Thursday Night Football brings Buccaneers at Cowboys. Dallas enters 2-2 and is coming off a 34-30 road win over Houston, while Tampa Bay is still searching for its first win at 0-4 after a 17-14 loss in Green Bay.
The Cowboys’ offense has been one of the best in football through four weeks, averaging 30.5 points per game — second in the NFL. CeeDee Lamb is coming off a monster 17-catch, 189-yard performance against Houston. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, is averaging just 19 points and 278.3 yards per game.
Now the Bucs have to turn around on a short week and head into AT&T Stadium against a Dallas team trying to build some momentum. Tampa Bay is desperate to avoid an 0-5 start, while the Cowboys have a chance to move above .500 before a tough stretch that includes Green Bay and Philadelphia.
Buccaneers-Cowboys. Thursday night. Dak and CeeDee against a Tampa Bay team with its season already starting to slip away.
