Speaker 1: Welcome to the best sports betting show on the planet.
This is Wager Talk Today. I am your host, Andy Lang.
It is five dollars Tuesday, and we are college football heavy.
Jesse Jesse's gonna break down USC in Illinois and then
he's gonna give us two teams to either bet on
or fade. Brian Power is gonna join us, and we
got to talk this crazy Tigers Guardians situation in Major
League Baseball. If you haven't been following this, it's it's
pretty remarkable. Then we're gonna look ahead to Thursday night football,
Seahawks and Cardinals. The Prez is gonna join us. We're
gonna talk Vikings and Steelers. We got a Dublin Ireland game.
We got a big, big show. Let's let's let's build momentum.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: Let's keep having a really, really good week, and let's
get it started with Jesse. Jesse. Happy Tuesday. Let's start
with this USC Illinois game. Boy, playing Western Illinois than
Duke then Western Michigan sure feels a lot different than
playing at Indiana For Illinois. What happens there? Sixty three
to ten. I didn't even watch that game. I just
saw the score was like, oh my god, what is
going on? What happened in that game?
Speaker 3: What happened is Illinois ran into a buzzsaw. You remember, Andy,
I came on this show in the preseason. I gave
out three teams dark horses to make the playoffs. Illinois
was one of them, and I said, they're going to
have to win either the game against Indiana or this
one at home against USC. They need one of those.
So now they didn't just lose, I mean sixty three
to ten. They got just shell ACKed and they need
this one or the playoffs are probably not going to happen.
Unfortunately for them, they did lose their best defensive back,
all Big ten defensive back Xavier Scott, with an injury.
In fact, their entire secondary is just decimated by injuries,
and that's really bad news. With the USC coming to down,
Jaden Maiva is lighting it up. He's thrown for over
twelve hundred yards and nine touchdowns. USC comes in averaging
fifty three points per game. I don't have a ton
of faith in USC's defense, but I don't see Illinois
stopping them here. I expect to see a high scoring game.
The totals right around fifty eight and a half. I
think it goes over the number. I'd lean USC, but
I think the best bet might be the USC team
total due to the injuries to the Illinois secondary, and
you know, and this is a spot where I'd love
to come back with Illinois after they got beat that bad,
you know, sort of a bounce back game. But when
you don't have the personnel, especially the secondary, when you're
facing USC a Lincoln Riley team, you know, it's just
a terrible situation for Illinois. Here.
Speaker 1: Been pretty impressed with Lincoln Riley and the job he's
done this season. It feels like he's working wonders with
that quarterback. He's done a masterful job. So I get
pretty big coaching edge the USC. Correct. Do you agree
with me on that?
Speaker 3: When you first said that you were impressed with Lincoln Riley,
I was. I sort of scratched my head because he
was basically on the hot seat until I know, so, yeah,
I mean, certainly, we're only three games in the season,
so you know, I think I'm a little bit skeptical
on you know, give it a while, give it, but yeah,
they're off to a great start. It does look like
they hit on the quarterback. I like Bi Lama too,
though I'm a Blama guy. That's why I like. I
said I was high on Illinois, and I would probably
have Illinois if it wasn't for the injuries, to be
honest with you, but with those injuries, it changes a lot,
all right.
Speaker 1: Each week we give you the option to teams to
bet on or fade. It's obviously a lot more fun
to just give his team to fade, So I'm assuming that's.
Speaker 3: What I've ever chose to bet on. It's always fade.
Speaker 1: Well, give us two teams for fading this week.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess if people didn't think I was nuts already,
they're gonna think I'm nuts when I tell them who
to fade this week because Ohio State. And you know,
it's hard to convince anybody to fade Ohio State. They
are the defending national champions, but I'm putting them on
upset alert this week. They're heading to Washington. They opened
as a ten point favorite. That that line's down to
eight and a half. And you know, I know everybody's
gonna look at this and say, Ohio State win by
double digits at Washington. That's easy. It's not easy to
win at Washington. Just ask USC just to ask Oregon.
This Washington team is very competitive and they have a
huge edge at quarterback. In my opinion, here this is
Julian Sayin's first road start saying, you know, I'm not
that impressed with them so far. In fact, Ohio State
hasn't really played anybody outside the Texas game. I was
on Texas in Week one and Texas dominated that game
statistically as far as first downs, total yards, time of possession.
Arch Manning was so bad, I mean, with any kind
of capable quarterback play. Texas wins that game. Again, that
was a home game. Now they're on the road and
Demon Williams, the quarterback for Washington, is absolutely lightened up.
Seven hundred and seventy eight yards, six touchdowns, no picks,
two hundred and twenty rushing yards. This Washington offense can
hume along. Of course, Ohio State's going to have the
advantage on the lines of scrimmage. Washington probably wants to
turn this into a bit of a shootout, but certainly
this is going to be a tricky spot for Ohio State.
So I think they're on upset alert. Take the points,
sprinkle on the money line, let's go Dogs. Huskies.
Speaker 1: All right, next team. I just agree with you on
this one, but I still don't like it, But go ahead.
Who are you faking?
Speaker 3: Florida State? Yeah, they beat Alabama in Week one. If
you remember this, summer quarterback Thomas Castellano said, Alabama, they
can't stop me. They don't have Nick Saban to save them.
I tore up the acc by my own damn self,
he said. These were his comments two reporters. This was
a quote he gave as bulletin board material for the
Alabama Crimson Tide. Obviously a very foolish move, but what happens.
He looks like a genius. He did all the talking,
but he backed it up. They beat Alabama, so really
inflated egos the Seminoles. People love the Seminoles. You know,
it's hard not to like the Seminoles after beating Alabama.
But that was a home game, and you know, since then,
they've played a couple cupcakes. Who do they play East
Texas A and M. I don't know a lot about
East Texas A and M. And anybody who tells you
they do is either from that area or they're lying.
And then Kent State, we know they're one of the
worst teams at all of college football, so they haven't
played anyboy since this is a tough spot. They're on
the road at Virginia. This line stinks to High Heaven
Florida State minus seven. All they got to do is
win by a touchdown at Virginia. Well, this is a
tough tough spot because they got Miami on deck next week.
Look ahead spot. As I said Thomas Castellanos, those comments
he made, you got to ask yourself, a guy that
talks like that ahead of an Alabama game, what do
you think he's thinking to himself right now heading into
this game versus Virginia. He probably thinks that he likes
his own smell. He's going to be very confident, very overconfident.
I think the Seminole's going to strut into town here,
think basically treating this like it's a bye week or something.
And Virginia they got themselves a quarterback, senior quarterback Chandler
Morris is this is fifty. I think this is sixth
season he started at Oklahoma. He had three years at TCU,
then last year, big breakout season. Throws for a ton
of yards and a ton of touchdowns, at North Texas
and he's threatening to do the same thing here at Virginia.
So Virginia's got the better quarterback in my opinion, They've
got the offense to hang with the Seminoles. Much like Washington.
They need to turn this into a shootout. But if
it does end up being a shootout, I like Virginia.
The line now opened at nine nine and a half.
It's down to seven. I'm gonna say, screw it. Don't
take the points. Just money line plus two forty five
on the money line Virginia.
Speaker 2: No, no, all right.
Speaker 1: I can't argue with the breakdown. I can't argue with
the numbers. But I'm a Florida State fan, so great
breakdowns as always. Jesse, it's five dollars Tuesday. Tell everyone
what you have up.
Speaker 3: I've got a big baseball play for five dollars Tuesday,
and I'll be working on that football card. Tough loss
last night with the Ravens, and now my record is
taking a big hit. I'm down to fourteen and three
with the NFL so far this season. I'll try to
do better next week. Guys.
Speaker 1: Thanks Jesse. Let's try and get it together. Please come on,
try a right fourteen and three. Very impressive. Congratulations on that.
Let's say, Mark says, Andy, you look like you woke
up seven minutes ago. It's been a busy morning. You've
already recorded Contender series videos. I will tell you if
it's my eyes. It's September in Indiana. We all kind
of have this look on her face. It's just pollen
and allergies. And now it's raining, and it's gonna rain
for the next four days. So this is just how
I'm gonna look probably for the next few weeks. So
but thank you Mark, thank you for joining us, and
thank you everyone. Please hit the like button and make
sure you comment below. Shout out to the chat. You
guys have been You guys are very nice. To Jesse
Duffel need some Fantasy football vice? Is Kayleb Williams for
Dereck Henry a good trade? I would take Derrick Henry
ten times out of ten on that one. I wouldn't
I would not be trading Derek Henry. I wouldn't be
trading I wouldn't be trading four Caleb Williams at this point.
So all right, let's bring in Brian Power. And Brian
we have to talk about this, Yes, are you okay?
Speaker 4: Well I'm okay. Well no, actually I'm not okay because
I think I know what you're gonna bring up? Right now?
Speaker 1: What am I gonna bring up?
Speaker 4: Are you gonna bring up the Rams Eagles finished from Sunday?
Speaker 1: Andy? No, no, no, no, I wasn't. Oh no, this
Tigers and Guardians game that you're gonna break down and
this like the Guardians are one game away from the Tigers.
I mean, this is crazy. If everybody hasn't been following baseball,
Brian set the scene for us. So what's going on
in the standings here? This was the Tigers team that
looked like world beaters a couple months ago, So what's
what's going on here?
Speaker 4: Sure, i'd be had. This is a much more pleasant
topic for me to talk about than what I thought
you were gonna bring up there, Andy, So yes, let's
talk about the Tigers and the Guardians. Guardians looking to
complete one of the most stunning come from behind efforts
in the history of baseball. What Andy was just referring
to is the fact that back on July ninth, Guardians
were fifteen and a half games behind the Tigers in
the Al Central. That deficit. As Andy just said, it's
been cut. The one game now Guardians of one, ten
and eleven did lose Sunday. Tigers have lost six straight,
all at home. Mind you, Guardians starting rotation, You look
at what they've done. It has been the key to
the team's success recently. No starter over the last seventeen
games in this Guardian's rotation has allowed more than three
earned runs. Tonight's starter Gavin Williams, He's allowed three earned
runs or less in six consecutive starts. Not to mention,
he is a one point six to seven ERA in
six career starts against the Tigers. That includes eleven scoreless
innings in two matchups this season. However, Andy Kevin Williams
not the better starting pitcher in Tonight's matchup. That honor goes,
of course, to Trek Scoubel of Detroit, who has posted
a point four to one ERA in three starts versus
Cleveland this year, thirty two strikeouts against only two walks
in twenty two innings pitched the Guardians. For all their
recent exploits still second fewest number of runs scored at
home this season, ahead of only Kansas City. If the
Tigers are gonna win this game, guys. And I know
there's a lot of people listening to the show. I
can see from all the comments about the Lions, one
would assume that a lot of people are rooting for
the Tigers not to blow this year. I know many
in the wager Talk, if not everyone in the Wager
Talk home office, is rooting for the Tigers not to
blow this Well, allow me to say what they are. No,
if the Tigers are gonna win tonight, it's gonna be
on the arm of Schooble. And I think they could
score at least two runs off Williams and that would
be enough to be leading after five. Honestly, I think
one run might be enough for the Tigers to be
leading after five here, and so I will recommend to
lay the first or to lay the half run in
the first five Tigers first five run line is my
official lean for this one.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk Eagles ramp No, Can I.
Speaker 4: Bring it up because I actually you're here on the program,
mister pres. I spoke to him after the game because
I had the Rams, he had the Eagles, and he said,
you know, he was very nice. What Price said? And
he said, Bry I read you right, You're right up,
was fantastic you had this handicapped. Oh way that as
a brutal loss, itaid, well, thank you. It doesn't make
me feel any better, but at least I wrote well
about the game. Look. I was on end Zone Live
for the first half with you and pres Leastart others,
a cast of thousands, if you will. And when I
left that stream, the Rams are winning nineteen to seven.
I migrated down to the basement. They scored a quick touchdown.
They're up twenty six to seven, and I was feeling
pretty good, Andy, and I said, okay, we'll just coastin.
From that point on, I never felt good again about
the game. And I know, really no, I told this depressed.
I saw it come in the whole whole way. You know,
Dan Alexander. You think you're so tough with your your Google,
with your Google Docs and your tush push. You think
you're so great, don't you, buddy. Okay, let me tell you.
I saw it covered the whole way, the whole soap, Andy,
And you know this, maybe you're more positive than I am.
When I've got the lead on the fire, when I'm
covering on the final drive, I just want the game
to end. I don't want anything crazy to happen. I'm
just like, get me to try. I was screaming at
the television, get me to triple zeros, Get me to
triple zeros. And then when they get ready to line
up for the game winning field goal, I'm like, all right, please,
dear guys, just don't let this get blocked. Just get
the ball in the air. And as soon as that
ball got blocked, like time freezes, I knew what was
gonna happen. You know. The Truth be Told. Teddy scared
the crap out of me when he came on that show.
At the outset, He's like, oh, a lot of sharp
money just came in on the Eagles, because already I
was feeling like the Rams were kind of a square dog.
So I just felt sick to my stomach even with
it's when they give up that touchdown right away to
make it twenty six pore, I said, guys, this one
ain't gonna be easy, and it wasn't, and they lost,
so I saw it coming. The all way Truth be.
Speaker 1: Told was that, I mean, that's that's an all time worst.
Speaker 4: Okay, uh? Why in Miami, Ohio, on Saturday as well,
which was this, which is why I knew it was
coming because it was the same damn thing. Look, I
was happy that the Eagles blocked that first of the
two kicks, Dan, because it meant that if the Eagles
went down and scored a touchdown on that drive, which
they did and got the two, I was going to
avoid overtime. So I mean, I already Andy, Like I
guess the moral of the story is not just to
me me to be ranting like a loon here on
the program, but it is that I saw it coming
the whole way, and I was just going through the
various permutations in my head. How are the Rams gonna
blow this? How are the Rams gonna blow this? And
the answer to that question is they were gonna have
the game winning field goal blockerom turned for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Someone take the graphics away from Dan.
Speaker 4: Uh. You know, you know I'm gonna you know, you know,
hold on, Andy, This will maybe get him to stop.
You know, Dan, I like you a lot. I think
you're a very fine person. Congratulations on your recent marriage.
But if you're not careful, I will curse this Eagles
team like I did two years ago when you yelled
at me when they were nine and one O one.
I said, all they do is win close. They're gonna
regress and guess what they lost that year in the
wildcard round.
Speaker 1: I think my worst beat. I don't. We had a
soccer team to not score a goal, and uh they
had zero shot attempts, like not shot not zero shots
on goal, zero shot attempts except the other team's defender
kicked the ball his own face into the goal and
they scored an own goal. So we lost the under
half a goal on a team that had zero shots.
Speaker 4: That's all I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, I don't know how. I still
don't know how that happened. Let's talk Thursday football here,
Seahawks and the Cardinals. Seahawks, boy, they have a making
of a really good defense. The defense seems to be
pretty legit. Cardinals, what is going on with Marvin Harrison junior?
My gosh, this is a very interesting line here. Pick
them the over under forty three and a half. I
don't know. I kind of like the Seahawks team. They
got a little mojo here on this. What's your take
on this game?
Speaker 4: So last week on the show, Andy, when I previewed
Thursday Night Football, I recommended betting Buffalo to go over
their team total thirty and a half. That was a
situation where hopefully you got that one early enough, guys,
because the Bills ended up scoring thirty one, and I
think the team total closed thirty one and a half
at many shops. I know it did at Trafkings and
Fan Duel. Well, this week, I'm gonna preach patients when
it comes to betting the Thursday night game way. This
line is trending, and I would agree with some of
the things you're saying. Andy, is that the Seahawks are
going to probably close as a road favorite here in Arizona.
So what I want to do, guys is wait and
hopefully this line gets bet to plus one and a half.
I know that's asking a lot, but I could see
it happening. And if it does, get the Seattle minus one.
And if it gets to minus one and a half
for the Seattle, Andy, I would tease the Cardinals up
to seven and a half. I had some success on
Sunday with the Bears, who were a favorite flipped to
an underdog. Teased them up from one and a half
to seven and a half, and it turns out I
didn't even need to do that because they kicked the
Cowboys ass. But that's a different story for a different day.
I know the Cardinals kind of as you alluded to,
are unimpressive two and one Marvin Harrison m i A
running back James Connor has been lost for the season,
but all three of their games have been decided by
seven points or less. And Seattle is impressive as these
scores look. The last two weeks double pair of double
legit wins. I don't trust them to win by margin
on the road, not with Sam Darnold's quarterback. Full disclosure,
I was not very high on the Seahawks coming into
this year, so maybe I was wrong. But you look
at these last two wins andy for Seattle, and they've
really been fueled by special teams. Some may disagree with
this following assessment, but I am one who tends to
think special team success can be pretty random, especially when
you look at what the Seahawks have benefited from these
past two weeks. That win in Pittsburgh really swung on
just a head scratch. You played. The Steelers kick returner
forgot the rules. He just didn't feel the ball and
Seattle grabs it scored a touchdown. That's not gonna happen
every You're not going to see that again, probably the
rest of the NFL season. Then last week, Seattle blocks
a punt which leads to an early touchdown, and then
you get a punt return for touchdown and to knock
the Saints out early. The Saints are the worst team
in the league, so I'm not gonna put a ton
of stock into that result. Again, patients, I want to
see what this line does the rest of the week.
I think if we if Arizona gets to plus one
and a half, I'm teasing them up to seven and
a half. I just don't think the Seahawks win this
game by more than a touchdown on a short week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, these Thursday games, And you're right, special teams
is pretty It is pretty candy. But I mean some
teams are good.
Speaker 4: But you look at what Seattle did that against the
crummy New Orleans team and against the I mean, that's
a middle school level mistake that fits for gade against
the I'm just forgetting to feel to kick off.
Speaker 1: It's true, it is good. It is kind of weird
that of all of all the teams in the league
that like have this complete weapon as a kicker, it's Dallas.
You wouldn't think Dallas would be the team that like
comes up with this amazing thing. But they got a
guy that can just hit seventy yard field goals out
of nowhere. So yeah, special teams saw a lot of
block kicks. I don't know, it doesn't see me that
it doesn't see It's like, where did all those come from? Like,
are you just do you have that play in your
back pocket you just held until till the end of
the game. I don't know. Kind of crazy. All right, Brian,
it's five dollars Tuesday. What do you have about for everyone?

Coming off of I mean, Brian just talked about the
bad beat on on the Brands, but you were the
benefactor of the Eagles and that was fun watching it
with you. Lawrence, how are you today muted as you
have no sound? Brother, there's no sound?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I forgot to unmute me. You know why
I forgot to I mute me. It's because I mute
me because.
Speaker 1: I don't shut the hell up.
Speaker 2: And Andy, Dan, could you hear me during that I
was dying to come on, Andy. I was like, put
me in, Coach, put me in. I wanted to I
wanted to talk to Jesse. I wanted to ask Jess.
And I just want to start by saying that you
have the top two NFL experts this season on your
show today. Jesse Schule number one most profitable expert at
wager Talk in NFL right now this year pres number two.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: But we asked Jesse to come on the End Zone
Show live, the End Zone Show with you and myself.
We do this every Sunday one to four thirty, and
he mentioned that he hurt his hip, which prevented him
from coming on the show. Curious how his hip had
any relevance to sitting on a couch and talking on
the air. Strangely, his hip is okay to come on
your show today, but his hip was not okay to
come on the Sunday show. So that's the first thing.
Speaker 1: If he said sore throat, you could be oh, okay,
your throat hurts something. It was hurt to talk, but Andy, I.
Speaker 2: Got to run. I can't do your show. I just
stopped my left toe.
Speaker 1: H Lawrence, we're gonna talk this, uh this Dublin Ireland game.
But uh, I had I have some pretty I have
some pretty cool news I want. I wanted to tell
you live here on the air. You ready for this.
I'm not gonna be here Thursday and Friday. Steve Merrill
is gonna sub My buddy from New York called me
last night. He's got free VIP tickets to the Ryder
Cup in WOWK. Yeah, So I'm leaving Thursday to go
to go do the whole VIP thing at the Ryder Cup.
I could not be more excited that. That's one of
those where you drop what you're doing and you go.
Speaker 2: You just socket a bucket list event. I hope you
have a freaking blast. And I'll tell you man. When
I was hosting the show, I would lean on Steve Merrill.
He's so good. H. He also did mention that he
would be there for the end Zone on Sunday. I
guess he heard his.
Speaker 1: Hip bummer bummer. So yes, I'm very very excited.
Speaker 2: Why something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I was just I was saying we had
tried to go and the tickets were just like, not
only were they expensive, they were unavailable, They're sold out,
and then uh it comes through at the last second.
So very very excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I hope you guys joined us for the
end Zone. What a fun day and my god, like
you got to see me losing my shitt at a
high level. I don't know if you guys checked out
my Twitter. Last night at preswager Talk, I talked about
the Detroit Lions, Andy and I used the term I
tried to come up with an adjective to describe their offense.
One word adjective and I'm not talking about describing it
like as in unstoppable, like okay, you know an adjective
that describes the style of their offense one word, And
I came up with beautiful. It's it's just goddamn freaking beautiful.
Speaker 4: It makes me happy.
Speaker 2: It's like watching Friends back like twenty years ago. Just
you watch the Detroit Lions and all you can do
is smile, whether they make fourth down and two on
the most ridiculously bad call ever or not.
Speaker 4: It's just stunning. It's stunning to watch all right.
Speaker 1: Put in the chatter the comments section. What's a word
to describe the Lions offense, Johnny Detroit, This one's for you.
I'm with you. It's so aesthetically pleasing. Oh, like, it's
just it's just it's it's great to watch. It's not clunky,
it's free flowing, it's using different guys. They're both running
backs are incredible to ballsy, that's a good word.
Speaker 2: Word, but it doesn't describe this like bullsy one hundred percent.
But if you look at the Ravens, they just run
the ball down your throat, you know. You look at
the villadelv Eagles, they're just like a power offense. You
look at the Rams back when Court Warner ran it
and they were this like sort of ballet. What Dan
Campbell has been able to achieve is the best of
both the best of Peyton's colts, Kurt Warners Rams and
the Eagles running game like it is. It's just it's
absolutely Kate Upton, if you will.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean this is like, this is kind
of similar to Indiana football. Graduated from Indian University and
our team has been terrible forever, and we get a
new coach and all of a sudden you know they're winning.
But the best part is they're fun to watch. That's what.
That's what when your team that you root for is
fun to watch, it just it's it's night and day different.
Speaker 2: So I become a Lions fan. I just want to
let everybody like it. And now, finally, it has been
twenty years since I've cheered for a team. That team
was the Dallas Cowboys, way back when finally found a
team to cheer for. The Bills on one side, Detroit
on the other.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about this vikings in Steelers game in Dublin.
We only send our best over there, so of course
they're going to get old Aaron Rodgers with Carson Wentz
as the quarterbacks. So put your breakdown. How do you
break down this game? It's early, early start for them,
nine point thirty our time.
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing we have to figure out first
is what kind of tariff will be levied on this game?
Are they allowed to bring their kickers? Do they have
to leave half the team behind? Will they be deducting points?
Are touchdowns only worth four field goals won? So those
things have to be researched in depth before we break
the game down. And I don't know the actual tariff
rule for the NFL going into Europe, so assuming it's
all the same, I love them Soda in the spot, Andy,
and this is a Straightford a bet on Minnesota and
a bet against Pittsburgh. Let's start with Pittsburgh. This team's horrible.
Andy they was I think it was fourteen fourteen with
New England driving to win the game and the turnovers
were five. Nothing Pittsburgh. If you get five turnovers and
you're in a dogfight with three to go, you suck
California Bears. But what that said, Minnesota is way better
than most people think. And what we are finding out
Sam Darnold, JJM Carson, Wentz, Kirk Cousins, it doesn't matter
who is behind center. Their coach is a gaunt. He
is a quarterback whisperer at the highest freaking level. Minnesota's
defense is better than Pittsburgh's. Minnesota's offense is better than Pittsburgh's.
Minnesota's quarterback is at least you know, born in the
last seventy years. I think Minnesota is the play here.
I'd like to see more money come in on Pittsburgh
so we could get it down to minus two and
I can come back with a money line at minus
one thirty five. But I do not believe in Pittsburgh
and I do believe in the Vikings. So that's where
I'm going with all that said, Andy, I find it
really hard to bet these games overseas, and I think
they all should ultimately be stay away games. Crazy shit
happens over there, so I'm likely not going to get
to the window. But if this game was played on
a neutral field in America, the Vikings minus seven and
a half.
Speaker 1: Minus seven and a half. Wow, you hate the Steelers team?
Speaker 2: Well, I thought, I hate, I hate not.
Speaker 4: Sport.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just you know what.
Speaker 2: Any of their defense looks horrible. And I understand that
they stepped up last game against the New England Patriots,
but Drake May is a walking turnover, so wow, way
to go. And they could not move the ball and
they haven't, you know, other than playing the Jets, and
we now know what the Jets are. This is not
a good Steelers team. And I am so high on
the Vikings. I mean, you know, I've said it before,
Bro I would I would, I would, I would smoke
the Vikings if they were a straight.
Speaker 1: The Vikings is a great name for a string. Yes,
it is that. That's an incredible name.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 1: I would like uh.
Speaker 2: Of the Viking, please.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a UFC fighter.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: They asked him, They asked him, you know if he
looks at film on other fighters and he goes, no,
Vikings didn't get to watch films, so I don't either.
What does that happen to do with anything? So all right,
the Vikings, that's your that's your uh, that's your strain.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: All right, it's great, Prez. Talk about the show that
you have and also Telemhon we have up for five
dollars Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So before we get into that, Justin P says
I had the same energy with the Cowboys last week. Andy,
all we do is get yelled at for losing. Like
I want you to understand, I went five and two
last week for my clients. That's five wins, two losses,
ten and four in the last two weeks, sixty four
percent of the season in NFL. Absolutely perfect in both
parlays four and O and ats bets four and O.
But Justin P. Wants to mention the loss, and I'm
okay with that because I love Justin p and I'm
missing Justin's one of the best. Good Thank you, Justin.
Speaker 4: You're a good man.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh yeah, So what promotions? What do you want
me to do? Talk promotions? I could do anything. I'm
here forever. I'm never gonna leave. Andy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, tell us about the fire. The Viking strain
is going over very well in.
Speaker 2: The yat vikings Cush. Yet I want that one, and
I want.
Speaker 1: Pike Purple Viking cush. You need to trademark that trademark
that thing purple.
Speaker 2: Like a slogan in attacked with no defense. I don't
know what this is.
Speaker 1: This is great, this is so great, all right, all right?
So yeah, five start with five dollars Tuesday. What do
you have a five dollars Tuesday?
Speaker 2: So I got an NFL parlay bet, and I dedicate
all my parlay bets to you because I was totally
anti parlay and then you showed me the light.
Speaker 4: You showed me.
Speaker 2: That you can win betting parlays. And since then, nine
and one, nine and one, since January twenty twenty four
four and oh this year, I think I have mastered
the art of the money line parlay and none of
these are huge favorites. Last week was a one fifty
seven of minus, but the week before was a dog.
The week before that was a dog. Now this one's
around to pick them. So yeah, grab my NFL moneyline
parlay bet for only five dollars over at wagertalk dot

Speaker 1: Thanks you to your show kicks ass as well Lawrence Presman.
And yeah, presidential addresses coming up very very soon. So
congratulations to present is good start in the NFL season.
All right, we're gonna go to all around the world. Boy,
you know, something just occurred to me. Did pres just
mush himself by patting himself on the back about Parlays
talk about how good he was, and he just said
he mastered the I was like, it just occurred to me.
I was like, oh yeah, yeah, run run for the hills.
We'll hear more about it Tuesday. I'm sure. Oh and
three coming over? Oh and three?
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no no, it's two and one with a
brutal He got a good, bad beat going his way
with the Eagles this past weekend, Andy, So it's gonna
be two and one with the joking Prez is going
three and always cashing. But if he doesn't, we'll at
least get to make fun of him on Tuesday for
calling himself a master of the parlay.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely all right. Couple couple free plays here Fever
and Aces. Natasha Howard over nine and a half points.
She's gone over in six out of seven games. Crazy stat.
She's gone over in sixteen out of the last seventeen
games against the Aces. That's an incredible streak. Mets at
the Cubs. This comes from the free picks page at
wager Talk. If you want free picks, we got a
ton of them that are up there. A lot in
MLB looking at the Cubs money line. Peterson pitching for Mets,
giving up eighteen hits and twenty one runs last four starts.
The Cubs do hit well against lefties. And Horton is
pitching for the Cubs. He's got an ERA under one
since mid July. And UFC. This is in Perth, Australia.
I mentioned this Cam Ruston Roston before this guy fought
in Contender Series a few weeks ago. He won, they
fast tracked him and put on this Australia card. I
don't think he's that great. Andre Petrowski is one of
the most boring UFC fighters around, but he's good in
the clinch. He can wrestle. I just don't think camp
Ruston's a good UFC fighter. The only reason he's on
this card is because it's in Australia and he's Australian.
If this was not an Australian card, he's not fighting
in the UFC. So Petrowski's minus one fifty five. It's
not going to be an exciting fight. But Petrowski's just
gonna put on a veteran performance and get their win
over him. So sf niner says, please do not bet
the w NBA play guys, save your money. He says,
how many times you're gonna give us the same w
NBA pick that never cashes. Will fade it, You'll be rich.
You got it all figured out. Let's fade it all right, Dan,
Let's pull up the Contender Series. It's Tuesday night, so
it is Contender Series. My five dollars best bet is
in Contender Series. We will be live on the Winning
in the Shadows YouTube channel watching the fights live. Live
bets and Contender Series are fantastic. So every Tuesday. I
make the case for the underdog in each of these fights.
We'll start here at the bottom. Raphael Tobias and OLIVERA. Dan.
This is the fight where I'm having a really tough
time making a case for the underdog. This guy's terrible.
He's fought nothing but absolute cans. The last two guys
he beat like we're like one hundred years old. He's
sloppy on the feed. The case is that Tobias hasn't
fought very many people and he's only twenty two years old.
But I can't make Yeah, he's pretty terrible, all right.
I can make the case for Javey Araus and Justin
Justice Torres. Torres and Reyes are kind of the same fighter.
They can strike, they're not really good on the ground.
I have this sneaky theory, Dan, I don't trust Reyes
because he can't get his hair right in his fights.
He has this long, frizzy hair and he puts into
ponytail and two minutes into the fight it's just exploding.
In the entire fight, he's screwing around with his hair.
I don't trust him. These guys are not very good.
I would be stunned if either one of them got
a contract Torres in a very very close split decision.
Montenegro and Chavez. Both of these women don't have a
lot of experience. That's the only case I can make
for the underdog. The problem with the underdog is the
combined record of her opponents is zero to eight. She's
not fought one person that has won a fight. They
both can't do anything on the ground. They're both kind
of lazy with they're striking lean. Montenegro but Chavas is
hard to make a case for. I can absolutely make
the case for Malgamedev over Zurcher malgam Madoff. If this
is not a wrestling magam Madoff. This guy strikes. He
gets in these car crash types of fights. He will
make this thing chaotic. He has bad striking defense, but
man is he resourceful. If he gets in trouble, he
can switch things around. I actually expect this fight to
start off on the feet in the first round, kind
of in the second round, it starts to take place
on the ground a little bit where Zurcher wants it too.
But magam Madoff, his striking is good, He's got finishing ability.
He can absolutely take Zurcher in this one and the
main event this fight. I would be stunned if it
gets out of the first round. This is just an
absolute hammerfest between two guys that can finish. And anytime
you get a fight like this, it's dog or pass.
We saw it last week, a big underdog one. When
I told you guys, be careful with these fights where
these two guys come out swinging. Both of these guys
are finishers. I believe Mantis can get the knockout in
the first round. So yeah, there's a case to make
for some of these underdogs here. All right, that's gonna
do it for us. Great show, everyone, Please hit the
