Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.
If you are new, we always start this show by
being transparent. It is Tuesday. There were no games on Monday.
We didn't do any shows over the weekend, so not
really anything to talk about here today. But it's nice
to have a big five game slate and nice to
be back here with you, Robino. So I'll just ask
you how you doing today? How everything been okay with you?
Speaker 2: Everything's good, Ski Ruff a little preseason winner last night
with Bengals and Commanders over the forty three and a half.
So the football game got there easy for us and
ready to focus back in on the WNBA.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. We got a loadus slate,
so no need to waste any time. We'll go in
rotation order like we always do. That means six thirteen
six fourteen. Minnesota and New York are first open, with
Minnesota as the one point favorite. We've seen a flip
of favors now, we've see New York minus three even
three and a half popping up, so to open up
six and a half, not a whole lot of movement
there as far as injuries are concerned. Still no fee
for the Liberty. Still no Stewie, no Sobbily, no Izy Harrison.
These teams will be playing for the fourth time so
far this season, and I believe the Links have won
two out of three from they won all three. Maybe
actually let me double check here the Links. Yes, they
won all three meetings so far this season one hundred
and ninety three eighty three seventy one, eighty six to
eighty no fee, no problem in that last one. Granted
there's no study for the other side. But now the
Liberty are back at home this time around. They did
just play about what three or four days ago. The
Liberty had a pretty poor start in that game, Rob
you know, and you know they have to do some
catching up. It's tough when you put yourself in that
big of a hole right out the gate. But they
showed some fight. They show some ability to play aggressive defense,
and they were having success with that for a while.
Do you think they can put it together for a
full forty minutes here in this one at home and
finally get a win in the column in this series
this season?
Speaker 2: I feel like they need to ski. Who wants to
go zero to four against the Links when the general
thought is that these two would meet up for the championship.
You don't want to head into a huge series like
that if it comes to be having lost four straight
to Minnesota. It's crazy too. The schedule maker, I don't
know who makes this schedule, but this will be the
fourth game in twenty one days between these two. I mean,
all of these Minnesota wins have been recent, so you're right,
a lot of no Stewart, a lot of no, a
lot of known to Fishakli or four Minnesota. But that
loss the other day I thought was agonizing. It was
agonizing for me because I hit the Liberty team total
over eighty two and a half and sitting at seventy
eight with three seventeen left in the game, and you're
watching stuff like Natasha Cloud wide open to the rim
blowing a layup. They just the last three seventeen of
that game. Not good for the Liberty. They outshot the
Links from the field forty five to forty three percent.
They made more three pointers eleven to seven, but they
got crushed on the free throw line. Minnesota shot thirty
three free throws, side shot eight twenty five, and they
turned it into a plus eighteen point advantage Minnesota. Even
though Minnesota down the stretch blew a bunch of free throws,
dik Kale McBride just kept missing from the free throw line.
Minnesota couldn't excuse me. New York couldn't capitalize. But I'd
expect them to be focused to your ski tonight to
get this one win. Sabrina had a tough game offensively
five of sixteen from the field. I think two of
seven from three. New York crowds should be ready to go.
I played this game. I played it earlier this morning.
I played first half New York first half minus one,
thinking that you know, if you're gonna correct. I always
think that coaches like to correct what went wrong, and
you mentioned it. What went wrong was the first quarter.
I think they only scored twelve points. They were getting
buried by fifteen in the first half and made their
way back. But I think they'll start quicker here tonight.
I don't know what Minnesota has left to play for,
to tell you the truth, they're twenty eight and five.
They never seem to take the floor though without a purpose,
So I guess they're gonna come to play. I would
imagine that, but I just think New York has more
motivation here. I think they've got the personnel to at
least win this first half by a bucket. So that's
the way I played it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not mad at that. I think that's a
good play. Minnesota has been really strong in the third
quarter in particular, so maybe avoiding the second half could
be a good look there. Man, what do the Links
have to play for? I just think every time they
see the Liberty like it's up, it's they're ready, you know,
after last season and Courtney Williams especially, she's done a
lot of talking, you know about this matchup. She's shown
up in all the games. I have a hard time
thinking she gonna show up again in this one. Chris
is asking what I think about Kayler McBride over fourteen
and a half points. She's hitting all three games versus Liberty,
but nine of her points last game came from free throws?
Is that a reason to stay away?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm betting on somebody. It's Courtney Williams. I mean, I
don't want to necessarily talk you off, Kayler McBride, but yeah,
just the person I see going off if anybody is
Courtney Williams. That would be my pick. Mark says Links
still making a point. Han't let go of last year's chip.
I agree with that. You know, in that last game, Rob,
you know, it was was it? It was one one.
I think the first half was lower scoring and in
the second half they just started to go crazy and
make everything right. Yeah, the total is right around where
it was last time. I mean, we know both of
these teams are great offensively. They're also two really good
defensive teams. Liberty haven't been shown it as much lately,
but they did show it, like I mentioned, and I
believe it was that second quarter. It was a really
good defensive second quarter. You know, Sabrina talked about that
and how they got to, you know, build on that.
That needs to be part of their how do I say?
It needs to be part of what they're doing on
a daily you know. And then for Minnesota we keep
hearing players coaches say defense is their identity. Do you
think this one has played more like that first half
or do you think it's more like that second half?
I would think it's a little bit more like the
first half.
Speaker 2: I've been of the opinion since she went out Ski
that New York would be worse defensively without Brianna Stewart.
I just again, I know I'm repetitive with this, but
when I watched that team play, her offense is whatever
her offense is, it's there on some nights, it's not
on others other Knights it's three for eleven. But defensively
she stood out to me all season long. Since she
hasn't been in the lineup, New York's given up a
bunch of points. It's nice to say it. I just
don't know that they can do it against the team
of this caliber. All that being said, you know, if
you erase that twelve point first quarter, they had sixty
eight in the last three quarters New York did and
sixty five on the other side for the links, that's
like one thirty three. But to your point earlier, they
had a ninety five point second half combined. It was
a big second half. So I don't know. I thought
the odds maker put the total in a good place,
and you know me, I'm always quick to look at totals,
but I couldn't find an advantage to this one. So
you know, maybe they can. Maybe the talk turns into
results defensively for New York. I just don't like them
on defense without Brianna Stewart. When she comes back, I
think we'll see improvement on that side.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Mark reminding everybody to go pick up the
five dollars play today says less than a cup of car. Yeah,
we'll talk about a little bit more at the end
of the show, but appreciate you. Mark. It is five
dollars Tuesday today, and we have best best up and available.
We'll keep moving down the list. That means next game
is six fifteen six to sixteen Connecticut Son Washington. Mystics
opened up minus six and I still see six is
pretty much out there. Total open one fifty eight and
a half. We'll call consensus one fifty eight. As far
as injuries are concerned. Nobody on the report for Connecticut.
For Washington, I do see Steph Dowson and Ja C.
Sheldon listed this out. Mystics a little bit surprising here lately. Rob,
You know they have back to back wins after what
they trade away. I mean they trade away Cites a
little bit ago, and then Austin sat out a game.
I think they still won that game. Yeah, Mystic's off
two wins as underdogs. I don't necessarily see them or
view them as the team to be laying points with.
I think, you know, once I start to get in
the favorite of above minus minus two or three, that's
kind of where I draw the line here. Connecticut. They
played well for most of their last game. They did
end up losing. They cover the spread barely. They won
the game before that. I think they're a little bit
more competitive, so I'd be leaning towards, you know, getting
the six points. I just I don't think Washington is
worth laying with. I know they have technically something to
play for in the standings, but I just don't trust it,
do you.
Speaker 2: Well, I know what I'm done with skin and I'm
done saying maybe Washington is tanking because the last three
games they took that and you know, totally proved otherwise.
I thought maybe that trade of Britney sites was an
indicator that we're not going to get there this year,
so we'll just make the trade. But they've been so good, offensively,
surprisingly good, let's put it that way. I'm going to
ring you some numbers for Washington in their last four
second halfs without the benefit of overtime. No overtime here,
sixty one points in the second half against Dallas, fifty
five points in the second half against Golden State, forty
eight points against Indiana, forty two the other day after
a fifty three point first half against the Sparks. We
know everybody scores against the Sparks, but still you get
my point. Washington with this lineup, and Shakira Austin did
come back last game ninety five points against LA the
other day. So if I'm looking at anything here, knowing
that Connecticut doesn't play a lot of defense, I'm probably
gonna look at Washington team total, which is eighty one
and a half. Connecticut gives up eighty two just by
showing up most nights, and you're right that lost the
other day against Indiana. I mean, credit what a performance
by Kelsey Mitchell second half, because I believe she had
like nothing in the first half, and then second half
in overtime she winds up with thirty eight or something
crazy in that game, Washington, excuse me, in again a
huge comeback against Connecticut, which again just goes to show
that defensively they can be exposed. So for me, you know,
maybe I'm just a you know, a prisoner of the
moment here with the Washington offense. But they've surprised me
with that lineup and especially the three games without Shakira Austin,
that they were able to score the way they've been
able to score. So eighty one and a half looks
like a very doable number to me in this game.
Speaker 1: And that's the team total, right, yeah, Miss sixteen total
eighty one and a half. H I don't have any
reason to talk to me about you off the team total.
A couple guys in the chat looking at Tina Charles
over her fourteen and a half points today, says just
give her twenty four plus minutes. I mean, I think
Tina can score her. I think the Sun will keep
this one competitive. And if they do and Rob Veno's
team total hits, that means the full game is going over.
So if we had the opposite, if we had Shakira
out and Steph Doson in, I would run to the
window and go bet the over. Dulson just, you know,
a better shooter, not really great defender, Shakira not shooting
it from outside, much better rim protector, I don't know.
Just kind of keeps me off of the total for
this one. But Son I could very well get to
the window. With next game up, we have six seventeen
six eighteen Seattle storm hitting in Chicago. Take on the
sky opened up minus eleven and a half looks like
minus eleven is the consensus total open one fifty four,
looks like one fifty eight. It's pretty much everywhere injury report,
nobody on there for Seattle. For Chicago, Aero Atkins is probable,
so it's Hayley van Let and Andrew Reese is listened
is questionable. I mean, she has been listed to doubt
for her out all these times. We'll see if she
makes a reappearance here. The storm finally got off the snide,
right Rob. You know, they are still desperate for wins.
They need them, trying to fight for that playoff spot.
But can they play well enough to win by ten
and a half. That's that's a tough question that I
have to ask. I mean, I could look at it
how you said the other day, right, you know, I
We're just gonna say it. I expect this guy a little,
but she doesn't seem so hard anymore. So. I guess
when we look at it like that, it's storm or pass.
How are you doing this?
Speaker 2: Well? You know, well, and again we'll repeat what we
said the other day about Angel Reese her quote. In
due time, she has started to practice again with the team.
But in due time, it's it's on her, it's on
her schedule. I think when she feels like coming back,
she's gonna come back. But I did handicap this game
for the justin case that she does play. Obviously, we'll
see the number go way down. If she plays, this game,
probably goes from eleven down to eight and a half.
She's probably worth that much to the sky. But I
played the Seattle Storm team total over eighty four and
a half. It was a bet that I made, and
I'm just in this constant fade of the Chicago defense
to give up ninety the other day to Golden State
and the majority of that ninety if I'm right, I'd
have to go back and look it up. But I
just remember Golden State pulling away in the second half
in a huge way. It was close, close, close, maybe
like a I don't know if Golden State covered first
half the other night's ski Chicago may have covered first half,
stayed close, and then got destroyed by thirty four. In
the long run, defense is bad. The backcourt defense is
bad Chicago. Their turnover rate is worse than the league,
and Seattle is like third best at scoring off of
turnovers points off of turnovers. That's a bad matchup right
away for the Sky. And then another bad matchup for
them is the Sky's paint defense, which gives up the
highest percentage of highest field goal percentage inside the paint
in the league. And Seattle's very good inside the paint.
So a couple of bad matchups here for Chicago. I'll
add to it their backcourt defense. We've talked about it
a lot of Chicago's backcourt is you know, you might
rate that the worst backcourt in the league. And Chicago,
excuse me, Seattle with Britney Sykes now has a little
more firepower inside the back court. You talked about them
needing wins. They're in that eight seed right now. They
need this win to stay alive. They're game under five hundred,
even though they won the other night. So it's a
big game for them, and it's the start of a
five game road trip. Let's mention that Seattle's got five
straight on the road. They get this game with Chicago
where they're double digit favored. The next game is against Dallas,
where they'll be favored, and you have to win the
winnable games if you're Seattle. They scored ninety five against
Chicago the first time around. Angel Reese did not play
in that game. If she doesn't play again, they probably
get to ninety five again. But I think there's a real,
real good shot they get to eighty five at least here,
just because Chicago can't defend much of anything lately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's solid. I think that's solid. Chicago's
defense has looked pretty bad. We'll see if a motivated
Seattle team could take advantage. I think that's a solid
play there. Let's keep going down the list. People in
the chat licking Gaby Williams in this game, and I
didn't look too deep into props. But y'all don't have
any reason to talk to y'all really, anybody versus that
Chicago defense. Next, pretty good game here six nineteen six
twenty Atlanta Dream Las Vegas Aces open up minus two
and a half for at I'm sorry for Las Vegas
and hasn't really moved total open one sixty four and
a half looks like one sixty five and a half
is a consensus as far as who's available, No Jordan
Canada for Atlanta should still be out for a little longer.
And Aces, I mean everybody's healthy who's been playing this
season will say it like that, ass I mean, ever
since they who was that, Ever since Minnesota took their
belt off and gave them a spank spank, the Aces
looked like the best team in the league, right They
won I think six games in a row, maybe seven.
I guess probably just kicks in after a beatdown like that,
and they start playing and looking like the Aces we've
been looking for all season. The Dream have also played
well post All Star the Dream had I mean, the
Aces have beaten the Dream both times I believe this season,
or if they didn't play twice, they did beat them
at least once. Let me just double check that. So
they did play once. Aces won eighty seven to seventy five,
so one rather easily. I mean, if we're just going
off what we've seen lately, Aces playing away, they're playing
at home, it's hard to look the other way. And
if I'm looking at the total, I think I trust
the Dream a little bit more than an Aces defense.
So yeah, maybe just more than anything. Lean Ace is
here at the house. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, Ryan Howard wasn't present in that game
where Las Vegas won eighty seven to seventy two, their
only matchup. But now Jordan Canada's not present, right, so
Atlanta just seems to continue overcoming things. The other night,
they didn't play very good, you know, that game against
Golden State. It was like twenty five to twenty three
or something at halftime, something stupid, and then Atlanta broke
loose in the second half, which they've been prone to
do a lot this season. Their first half play has
picked up, but their second half player. I remember the
beginning of the year there for second half totals over
were winning at a high rate, and they came up
with fifty four in the second half. They still find
ways to score. They found a way to get the
seventy nine in that game. I like what you said
last about which defense you trust more, And it's why
I played the dream team total the visit to the
underdog team total here over eighty two Las Vegas. I
don't know why I shied away from full game Ski,
and maybe I won't in the end, because Las Vegas
during this winning streak. I think last five games, they're
averaging ninety one a game, ninety one and offensively, first
of all, Asia Wilson looks unstoppable, and second of all,
she's getting the help now. Twelve who used to dribble
out the clock, is now making shots, scoring points. Juwel Lloyd,
we talked about her since she's been coming off the bench,
Jackie Young, those four have been really, really good offensively lately.
I know Atlanta's the better defensive team. That's probably why
I shied away from full game total, but I do
think that Atlanta's good for eighty three against this defense.
If you just go back through the Vegas win streak,
they're still giving up points. They're just scoring at a
huge rate at this point in time. So to me,
Las Vegas has picked up the pace, the tempo in
their games. If it gets to be a quicker game,
which I think it will, I trust Atlanta. I think
you had a number. I think you had a number
last week about points scored by Atlanta on the road
in like it was at the time their last five
games or something. It was maybe eighty five plus in
every game, and then they just scored seventy nine on
the road at Golden State, but that was with a
twenty three point first half or something crazy like that.
I don't think that happens again. So probably a high
scoring game, probably a really really competitive game. I don't
want to bet against the Aces right now, that's for sure,
But I do think Atlanta gets to eighty three, whether
they win or lose.
Speaker 1: You know, Dream have been making some making some money
lately for me. I know, I said Alina Aces, but man,
I'm just trying to glance at this last time they played,
just seeing who all was available. Brie Jones did play,
Brittany Grinder did play, just Ryan didn't play. Really, I mean,
I when I think about a little bit more, I
kind of agree with this comment from Mark. I think
he was here. No no, no, yeah yeah. He says
Atlanta side is gonna bother Las Vegas. He says aces
recent wins not that impressive. The thing I'll say is
the Biggs didn't bother the Aces in their last meeting.
Both of them played, they didn't bother them. But in general,
my thought is like when Ages does play the bigger
like Sinners or Biggs, like she struggles, like when she
plays secure Austin. I don't think she plays well, but
like I said, she already did do it once versus
Dream Team. This is a tough one. It'll be a
really good game to watch. Let's just see a couple
more comments here, maybe they'll help us out. James likes
the Aces, Drew likes to Dream. Mark thinks that Dream
are the second best team in the league. They've been
playing like it lately. I guarantee that. James says Ace's
ball screen will kill those bigs. A lot of different
opinions here, Dancers Dreaming payback on their mind. Man Chris,
I think is a green that we should see some
points here. It says Dream ard over team on the
road and Aces are going to push the pace. This
is this is tough. I think I need a little
bit more time here. Dream have been the more consistent
team in general to me. I know A has been
playing better lately, and it's even hard to say that
because Dream have been really on fire post All Star
this one. I'm just I'm wrecking my brain here, Raven.
I think I want to need more time.
Speaker 2: I want to try and go back here Ski real
quick and just see how many it was July twenty two.
I'm just gonna try and see how Asia Wilson did
in that game. She had twenty four and twelve shot
nine of eighteen, fifty percent from the field, six of
seven from the foul line, twenty four points, twelve rebounds me.
She to me, she looks unstoppable right now. The one
thing I'll say about Atlanta is you've got ten balls
to give between Brehanna Jones and Britney Grinder off the bench.
You can, you know, get up on her if you
if you want. By the Las Vegas has been pushing
pay so much, and Asia doesn't need to be at
the rim to score her jumpers. Just as I don't know,
I think that I don't want to bet against it
Las Vegas right now, but I do think the Atlanta
offense is trustable against this particular defense. I still think
I'm just looking here Las Vegas. As last five gave
up eighty six, eighty six, eighty three, eighty seven, and
seventy seven, So four of the five have gone over.
What's required tonight out of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Man, man, man, man, man, you know this is this
is a tough one. I'll lean with the over and
I'll just stay. I'll stay neutral on the side for now.
Speaker 2: Maybe you could go end games Ski.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be watching for sure, So I'll be.
Speaker 2: Mark.
Speaker 1: Mark knows how to get me to the window.
Speaker 2: That'll be in one hand with a ticket in the other.
Speaker 1: He knows how to get me to the window for sure.
It says, need a tequila and I walk around the block, Ski, Ski.
Speaker 2: That walk around the block will seal the deal.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh. One last game for today that looks
like six Phoenix and Golden State. This one opened up
minus six for Phoenix. Not a whole lot of movement.
We'll call it six and a half to to open
one fifty six and and seeing it as low as
as low as one fifty three and a half. It's
a lot of different numbers out there, but as low
as one fifty three and a half. Injury report mccannie,
I mean, she's on here, but it doesn't say anything
next to her name. Let's see probable. This is probable
for Golden State. It's like mobilings Maria C and Iliana
all out. Valkyrie's all right here, here's her. What I'll
say about this one first thing that comes to mind, Robino,
is both of these teams have been really good defensively.
We know Golden State games have been really lower scoring,
but Phoenix as well Valkyrie. We've talked about this on
the show once before. In revenge situations, they've been able
to lock people down. Whatever Coach Nikosi's doing over there,
if I said that wrong, I apologize. She has some
good game plans for a second time around. Seeing these
teams that they've lost to, they are to do a
reminder here and let's toss it up on the screen.
Toss it up on the screen here, let's see boom boom,
And I know that I have to go back and
push the button. There we go. So you can see
in revenge spots, Valkyries are nine to one to the
under team oppon his team total nine to one to
the under. They lock them down. So my initial thought
is to try to get there with the under anyway,
to you know, find reasons try to back that under.
Maybe even just Phoenix team total it is eighty. I
mean I could very well see that at the house.
How are you viewing this one, robo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just doing quick math. I mean, if Phoenix wins
the game, just seventy eight, seventy four something like that
team total isn't under It doesn't sound that unreasonable. Seventy eight,
seventy five. A little surprised that Golden State was catching
so many points at home. Ski. They're off of a
bad second half to Atlanta. Like we said earlier, Atlanta
destroyed them fifty four to thirty six second half, and
all of a sudden that Golden State defense was just
caved in by an Atlanta onslaught. But you know, Atlanta
does that to people. I'm not so sure Phoenix will
do that to them on the road. The number keeps climbing,
which I keep looking for. You know what is everybody seeing?
That pushes this game from six, which I thought was
overpriced to start with, to six and a half and
into a couple locations minus seven. Golden State at home
in front of that crowd, very very good, pesky defensively,
if it's a lower scoring game, generally those two correlate,
right underdog and under, and home underdog getting six and
a half and under should correlate. To me, this was
the absolute toughest game on the ball to get to
and I think it's probably mostly because I never trust
Golden State shooting against a good team against the weaker teams,
like what they did to Chicago. Yeah, they love to
let it fly from three. Maybe Zandalasini gets hot. They've
they've got players with potential to get hot, and I
think that's what pushes me somewhat to their side. If
I had to play at ski, I would play Golden
State at home plus six and a half. They're still
in the playoff race, just the same as Phoenix is.
They're just vuying for different positions in the standings. For Phoenix,
twenty wins has them as the four seed, but they've
played a couple games less than everybody else, so they've
got time to make up some ground here. If they want,
or if they can, they can win. I just don't
know that they win this game by seven points. It
seems like a lot to me in this venue.
Speaker 1: Falgry's I've been really good at home. I mean, it
does seem like a lot of points. I agree with
you on that. It seems like most of the Chad
Grease too, Mark took the Valkyries. Yeah, a lot of
people mostly. I haven't seen one person say the Mercury, so, uh,
everybody on the Valkyries, Huh.
Speaker 2: I've seen this one before.
Speaker 1: I let everybody be I'm I'm not gonna run to
the window or try to be too make too many
cases for Phoenix. Here makes sense. I mean, both teams
do have something to play for the playoff standings, but
six and a half points at home off of a
really bad loss, I think that they could They could
play a lot better here in this game. So Lean Valkyries,
lean under. You put them together. That means Mercury team
total under. And man, I don't know, it didn't seem
like thirty minutes here, Rob, you know, but it's been
thirty minutes. We got through all five games. I think
we do the pretty solid job. So we'll move it on.
Or before we move it to best bets, let's let's
get Raveno on Acre. Raveno makes the therapy five dollars Tuesday.
So uh, somebody mentioned this earlier in the show. But yeah,
we have top players on our page and you can
get them today for just five dollars. So it's a
chance for people to check out, you know, maybe how
what a write up looks like for one of us.
You know, see what you think about it, if you
cash out, and if you you like what you see
you can come back and rock with its longer term.
So on that note, Veno, I will pass it back
to you and ask you if there's anything else you
would like to promote, and if you have a best
bet for the show, we would love to hear it.
If you do not, no worries.
Speaker 2: Real quick Ski. Besides the five dollars Tuesday, which is
always a great day for anybody who has never been
involved with any of the handicappers, including Ski and myself,
it's a good day to get involved. Wager Talk also
released an offer this morning where you buy the month
of September, get the remainder of August for free. We're
sitting here on August nineteenth. That's a thirty one day month.
You do the math, you're going to get almost two
weeks for free. On top of that, they do the
math for me, so I could just read it to
you less than forty nine dollars per week or less
than seven dollars per day if you join in now
on the all access pass for September. And of course
with football here, this is the time of year, guys
where you start to get all these crossover sports. You're
not just going to get WNBA, you start to get
college football, NFL football, you get everything. So it's quite
a bit probably a very good package price reduced rate
there for by September, get the rest of August free
move on to best bet ski. I've got a choice
here to make, and I don't want to use my
five dollars play as the freeze, So I'm going to
go to the one we talked about towards the end there.
Atlanta team total over eighty two, a game that I bet,
a game that I have released to clients here. I
just you know, I gave a lot of reasons why
I trust Atlanta to tell you the truth, and it
really doesn't matter all season longer hasn't mattered all season
long who's in the lineup and who's not in the lineup.
They do what they do. Chris pointed out what I
was saying in my analysis when he chimed in with
Vegas is going to push pace and Atlanta has been
a very good road over team team totals over with Atlanta,
and like I said, I think you had the numbers
last week eighty five plus in maybe six of their
last seven. So give me that one as the best
bet for today going to be Atlanta Dream Team total
over eighty two.
Speaker 1: I like it. Good stuff there for mister Robino. For myself,
I mean, we did the five dollar promo, right, That's
what I have. So what rob said about the where
was it by September? Get the rest of August free? Yeah,
that will include what college college football, NFL, and I
did win in both of those sports last season. I
am gonna have. I already know what my my top
player is going to be in college football. I just
haven't haven't put it out yet because I was just
working on doing a good enough right up. But I
know what my player is going to be for college football.
I will have it out shortly. NFL, like I said,
we had a profitable year and I'm gonna be getting
involved in week one as well, So it could be
a dual to take advantage of WNBA going right now.
I put some tennis. I had a winner on Paulini
uh in the semi finals. I didn't play the finals.
So if you're looking for some tennis some WNBA to
add to what you have going in September, that looks
like a good deal right there. My best bet for
the show, I'm gonna just I'm gonna keep it simple,
keep it simple for me, and my thought process is
I'm not a believer in Washington as Washington as a
favorite by multiple possessions. I just one don't think they're
that good. They've already outperformed twice in a row, winning
back to back as underdogs. I think they come back
down a little bit to earth here, and so if
Connecticut plays zone that enough will disrub Washington from what
I've seen with them, especially without Steph Dolson there, Like
when the two bigs are together, it's not gonna be spacing,
you know, Shakira and Kiki is not gonna be enough
space if Connecticut runs on. So if they have a brain,
if they're trying to win this game, I think that
they can. They can at least keep it competitive. I'll
go with best never I can get. Right now, it's
minus one fifteen, but it is six and a half
for Connecticut. That will be my best bet for the show.
And you know, before we get out of here, let
me ask you did you notice anything different today? Anything
different today on the show, And I'll ask the chat
too if you notice anything different. I want to know,
did you notice anything different today?
Speaker 2: I noticed how relaxed you are in that chair.
Speaker 1: It is pretty comfortable.
Speaker 2: Definitely different scenery, so you're not home real quick. Let
me just ask the chat when the Lamar fans are
going to start chiming into your ski, because you're due
for a Lamar Jackson battle coming up pretty soon within
the next two or three weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for him too, you know, I think of
that one. Is it a gift or me? And however,
recall it's the guy with one guy with the sword
and it's the whole army coming at him. I'm ready
for y'all. But yeah, I am on the road, and man,
you know, I'm just thinking about this now. I might
not be able to do a show the rest of
the week. You know, got you know, a couple of
funerals stuff to go through that nature, got some other
family stuff I gotta do, so, uh, this might be
my last show for the week, so I guess, uh,
we'll get back with you guys next week. Vino the
chat room here, here it go. You get them, Jeff, glad.
Speaker 2: We could open up that can of worms early.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's always great to talk and break these games
down with you. Veno appreciate you taking the time to
do so. Everybody in the chat, we appreciate you as well.
Great people, great cappers, and just help make the show
what it is. So always want to let you know
you appreciate it. Yout YouTube, Shorts, Twitch, x kick, Spotify, Apple,
We appreciate everybody out there watching. And I'll say something
different today. Yes I'm on the road, and two I
didn't have my medicine today, so I just want to
see if it was noticeable. But we'll be back again
next week to break down all these games and we'll
be able to talk somewhat some college football next week too.
Rob ain't a little bit. So yeah, it's some good
stuff coming up. Best of luck everybody on all your
action and we will catch you guys later
