Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the first show of twenty twenty six
on Lawren's Pressman. This is the best betting show ever.
We got four college football games, all bowl games going tonight.
We got a whole slate of NFL one last week.
Starting tomorrow, we got NHL, NBA College basketball. Art This
Caesar and Joinery joining us.
Speaker 2: Boys.
Speaker 1: I'd ask you both how your New Year's are, but
you're both old and I hear you were asleep by
nine and I don't think Joe made it till eleven.
Speaker 3: Al Art Art told us he wasn't making it till
till nine o'clock.
Speaker 2: Did you at least make it to the end of
the Miami game?
Speaker 3: Art?
Speaker 2: Is my question?
Speaker 4: That was kind of that was my cutoff point. Let
me watch the end of this, and I mean, trust me,
I was already in bed lights off.
Speaker 2: Yep, one of the team the TV was on.
Speaker 1: Guys, hit that like button. Subscribe to our channel, make
sure to comment. We got absolutely a shit ton to
discuss today. Let's get straight into it. Brother. We're going
to start with NFL, the Panthers and the Bucks. This
is a crucial game maybe, but it will be in
the moment Seahawks and forty nine Ers, I mean, beautiful
choice there, and the Ravens and Steelers, three absolutely essential
games with the We're not going to discuss Miami and
the Pats or anything Cincinnati and Cleveland though.
Speaker 4: I mean we talked about Cincinnati earlier in the weevening,
you know, we had a little bit of juice on that.
Speaker 5: But no, you're right.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously these three NFL games are you know,
the biggest three games of the weekend, Carolina and Tampa.
You know, we took initial money on Carolina early in
the week at plus three, and then when we were
Tampa minus two minus one sixteen, one of our sharpest
NFL accounts came in and laid Tampa there. So now
we're back up to three on Tampa. Also took sharp
money on the under under forty four. We're now forty
three on that game. The Seattle on San Francisco game,
this is a game that we had kind of touched
on earlier in the week, but we had opened the
game pick and we had opened the total forty nine
and a half. We've seen significant under money at forty
nine and a half, pushing us to forty seven and
a half, and then we saw pretty good Seattle money
as well come in. Obviously us sitting at Seahawks minus
one and a half. Now, I even saw some places
this morning go to two two and a half on
the game.
Speaker 5: Now, obviously some places.
Speaker 4: Might have different needs, so maybe they're pushing a number
one way to get a little action back. We have
not moved off that one and a half. And then
the Sunday night game Baltimore Pittsburgh. The sharp's laid three
with Baltimore. It's now three and a half total has
been bet down as well, from forty two to forty
and a half.
Speaker 2: Kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: He's supposed to be absolutely freezing on that Sunday night
game too.
Speaker 2: Their art. But now that Lamar has said he is
playing there.
Speaker 3: Did the move come before that announcement or were you
guys just always assuming Lamar was going here or didn't
make a difference between him and Hontley.
Speaker 5: It's a great question, Joe.
Speaker 4: The move came before Lamar, but we always assumed he
would play. You know, and listen, there are some people,
and I might even be in the camper people right
now think Hontley gives them a better chance to win.
But obviously, if Lamar is right, he's going to play,
even though I don't think he's one hundred percent healthy,
but we always assumed he was going to play in
this game.
Speaker 1: There we go three important games where the money is
going on all three art we've got four college football
games going today as the college football season starts to
wind down, you were gonna tell us where the money
is going. This is the Navy Cincinnati game, Wake Mississippi
State and Zona against the Mustangs for us in ye.
Speaker 4: Now listen, this is the last day of like kind
of these bulls that don't matter, and trust me, we're
happy to be done booking these games. You know, Navy
and Cincinnati. They laid two and a half and three
early with Navy. You know, Cincinnati quarterback not playing. We're
now sitting at seven and a half on Navy. Interesting two,
Sharp's laid four this morning on the first half. So
we're now four and a half for Navy minus four
and a half on the first half. There one lead
Cincinnati in the game Wake in Mississippi State. A little
bit of Mississippi State money moved us from two and
a half to three. But the big move here has
been on the total from an opener of fifty six
now down to fifty three. Sharps hit that a couple
of times fifty six and fifty four, and Arizona SMU
we took basically throughout the whole process SMU money plus
three plus two before I came back here to be
on with you guys. We're now SMU minus one, so
obviously a lot of SMU money has come in. Sharp's
also got the under from fifty two and a half
to fifty one one and a half.
Speaker 3: So I got to ask our lot of upsets in
the quarterfinals here, how did the books.
Speaker 2: Do with Miami starting on what New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3: And then I think Oregon closed a dog in that
spot there. Indiana was the favorite, but certainly Old Miss wasn't.
How did the books do here with three dogs outright
winners here this past week?
Speaker 5: Well, usually when that happens, it's a good thing.
Speaker 4: Now the Miami Ohio State game is weird for us
because obviously we knocked out a lot of stuff with
Ohio State with moneyline parlayes and all that. But Ohio
State was actually our best result in the future book. Wow,
So it was Retten, Yeah, it was not great to
lose them there. And then when you got to the
next day with the three games, Oregon was a really
good result for US, Indiana was not a good result
for US, and then we closed the night out with
Old Miss being a really nice result for US. We
had gotten some sharp money that day on a really
respected account took Old Miss, so we really booked to
need Oldness in the game. And obviously not only did
they cover, but they won out Right, there you go.
Speaker 1: I've had an outstanding college football bowl season and my
one big play was on Alabama. They did not show up.
That quarterback lost that run at the first quarter where
he could have got the first down and didn't change
the entire game.
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's what happened in Alabama. I mean, I
didn't think he was gonna get off the plane. The coach.
I thought, for short Kalin de Borr might have had
to divert and take another plane somewhere. They are not that.
That was humiliating for Alabama. Humiliating like setting that program
back a long way. Man, My goodness, that's terrible. Hey, Nick,
you wanna Hio many times before they call Nick Daban
You wanna any chance you want to come on back
here because this ain't where well.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you gotta love when your fan
base holds that type of expectations. I mean, they made
it to the quarterfinals. Yeah, like you know, pre Nick Saban,
I didn't think Alabama would ever. I thought Alabama was
going the way of Nebraska. So you know, I thought
the days of the role Tide were over. So yeah,
everyone needs to have a little perspective. Joe Ranieri, aren't
you taking me to the Winter Classic which happens to
Pe today and I'm still in Toronto?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my man, I thought you were actually in town already.
Speaker 3: So I'll go instead, though, and I'll let you know
how it goes, because I'm hoping I have the right
clothing for this Winter Classic.
Speaker 1: It's going to be super cold.
Speaker 3: The air conditioning is going to be cranked, Jop there
at Marlins Park.
Speaker 4: So yeah, no, as far as the Winter Classic goes,
it is booked just like a regular game.
Speaker 5: The action is the same. Yeah, nothing crazy.
Speaker 1: Art real quick. I don't I always forget to ask
you this question. Are you making any personal bets in
the NFL this coming weekend that we should know about?
Speaker 4: You know, when it comes to the NFL, especially in
Week eighteen, it's just impossible to navigate this. I will
say this, I'll probably find a way to tease two
of the important games. And I think if I were
to do that, I would lean Carolina and San Francisco. Yeah,
and San Francis. I would get them both up over
a touchdown. So I think if I attack the NFL
this weekend, that's the way I'll attack it.
Speaker 3: Anything with New Orleans and Atlanta yet art or has
it been just study?
Speaker 2: I know a Labby is out now he's got blood cleats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was there. There is a line move
there are we got three and a halves out there now.
Speaker 4: Well, of course with a Lave being out and the
Lave's had obviously this research and you know, breakout back
season and him and the rookie quarterback have this great connection.
So now listen, I think, and you guys know, the
Saints are gonna come out and play their butts off.
I mean, they're gonna do everything in their ability to
win this game. That's what they've been doing the last
month of the season. But obviously, losing a Lave is
a huge loss.
Speaker 2: Yep, big time now, and if Taylor wins.
Speaker 3: I would imagine you'll start to see what you think,
you'll see more Atlanta money come in or more New
Orleans money come in.
Speaker 5: Well that's great.
Speaker 4: What I think it will do is it will amp
up the betting on the game. I'll say that, Yeah,
you know which side that you know happens to be on.
I think you'll get two way regardless, because I think
a lot of people too, just even with the lave out.
Goo hey, the Saints are hot right now. They're making
people money. So around the back Saints.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, so uh Art the Caesar. We gotta
go to our parlay of the day is this is
an NFL only parlay. Why don't you start?
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna go to Sunday Night and listen,
they've killed me all year, but I'm gonna do Ravens
money line part of the parlay.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I can't believe you're going there, praz What
do you got.
Speaker 1: Uh Joe, I'm gonna take Atlanta and I'll and if
we're gonna do it all on the money line, I'll
take them on the money line. Wow wow.
Speaker 3: All right, So just a recap here art you are
going pres is going to Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Art, you're gonna go Ravens.
Speaker 5: Yep, Ravens.
Speaker 3: All right, Well then I'm going Tampa Bay. There it is,
all right, Tampa Bay, Ravens.
Speaker 1: We're still winning freaking parlay.
Speaker 3: That's a huge that's gonna be excellent.
Speaker 2: Yes, that that's.
Speaker 1: You know what, Let's double the units on that party
to parlay parlor, that banger.
Speaker 2: Parlay.
Speaker 1: Were you guys? Oh so, guys, stay with us. Joe
and I have an unbelievable promo coming your way in
like two minutes. Art, what do you got to promote?
Speaker 4: Listen, guys, obviously that we're going to have a lot
of playoff stuff that we're going to be able to
talk about here in the upcoming week.
Speaker 5: We'll obviously break down.
Speaker 4: The college a little bit more and let me throw
a couple of college basketball things out there that I
weren't you know, I wasn't able to mention all sharp stuff.
We saw money on Cal at minus four, saw money
on Mental Tennessee State at six. We saw money on
Portland at plus twenty two and a half.
Speaker 1: Oh, perfect, there we go. Art, have a killer weekend. Brother.

Speaker 1: I love these names, dude. Sacred Heart. Where is Sacred Heart?
Speaker 2: New York?
Speaker 1: Upstate New York? Yeah, Quinnipac. I mean yeah, I don't care. Yeah,
could could care less. Okay, brother, let's get into some business. Joe,
I got us a really great promo, one of those
buy one, get one freeze. I used to do these

with me and you together, as we do shows every
day together. This is a seven day all Act access pass.
You get both Joe and my plays, every single play
we release, every sport, every bet we make for the
next seven days. It's only ninety nine dollars. To give
you a perspective, it's ninety nine dollars for each of
us individually on a regular basis. This promo is for

and myself and Joe. There's no coupon code required. All
you have to do is head over to your page
or my page and it'll be there. It's ninety nine bucks,
it's a week. It's a great freaking promo.
Speaker 3: Love it seven days, ninety nine dollars, two for one.
Can't go wrong, there, braz love it, yep there and look.
Speaker 1: You know you all know me with my NHL. My
college basketball is I'm down slightly, but I'm but pretty
close to break even in my NBA is profitable again.
College football five and two on the bowl season, NFL
look forward to kicking ass in the playoffs, and Joe
Ranieri last year number two most profitable expert over at
wager Talk. So there you go, guys. I asked Head
office for this probo five minutes before the show began.
They sent it to buy one, get one free, ninety
nine bucks. Okay, what do you got good with the clients, bro?
Speaker 3: We do have also a couple of other just a
great opportunity to take advantage of this and get all
of the NFL Week eighteen plays because there's a lot
of edges that can be had this week here, and
I love the numbers that we're getting in a lot
of spots, So I think it's a big opportunity not
to mention. By this time next week, we'll already have
a I believe the two semi final games if you
have the balls next Thursday, and I believe Friday will
decide who plays for a national championship. So this would
be a great time to jump on for ninety nine bucks.
Speaker 1: There you go, Joe, we got our NFL bets. I've
got two of them, two minutes one each. Both are
related to I guess the New York Jets. We're gonna
start with the Buffalo Bills. Now, I get it. They
got nothing to play or Josh Allen might not play.
He might, he might not. I don't really care. This
is strictly a bet against the New York Jets, and
at minus six and a half minus seven, we are
going to look to bet the Buffalo Bills. And really, Joe,
the bottom line here is the New York Jets. It
feels like are trying to lose. It feels like this
New York Jets team is done. They've quit and it's
time to call it a day. At minus seven, I
think Buffalo gets us no matter who their quarterback is,
at least seventeen to twenty four points. I don't know
if the New York Jets are even going to score.
They put ten up against New England, six up against
New Orleans, Yeah, twenty spot against Jacksonville, but they lost
by twenty eight points and a ten against Miami. This
team hasn't had a sniff of covering seven in four
straight games. I think Buffalo puts the SmackDown on this team,
regardless of who starts. Take the Bills and then in
keeping with the New York Jets, we're gonna look to
take the New England Patriots minus ten and a half
against Miami. And yeah, Miami played the Jets last week,
got it done, not the Jets. And New England played
the Jets last week and got it done. They put
up forty two. And this is strictly a play on
Drake may winning or going with the MVP. In order
for him to win the MV he puts up four
touchdowns in this game, he wins the MVP, and trust me,
they want him to win the MVP over in New England.
So I think they come out flying. I think they
aired the ball up and I think Miami has done
I think they quit on their coach. They didn't quit
last week on their coach, but I think they quit
this week on their coach. There's nothing with them to play.
They're playing in reason cold weather. A couple of days
after New Year's This Miami team wants to get into Boston,
get out of Boston and start Goulding. Take New England,
take Buffalo, both blowouts. Joe, you're up.
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that, Prez.
Speaker 3: All right, So then I am going to go to
the AFC South and concentrate in a couple of games there.
I'll start with Jacksonville and Tennis se Jacksonville can at
the very least lock up the AFC South and at least.
Speaker 2: The number three seed with a win.
Speaker 3: A lot of that will, of course, depend on what's
going to happen in the next game I'm going to
talk about plus the four o'clock game with the Denver Broncos.
But Trevor Lawrence has absolutely been crushing it. So is
this offense and the Tennessee defense has basically nobody left.
Starting wise, on the defensive side of the ball, They're
starting safety Xavier Woods.
Speaker 2: Their backup safety is gone. The backup to the backup.
Speaker 3: Safety secondary is absolutely atrocious. That's a bunch of practice
squad guys. I don't They're not gonna have Arden Keith
and I'm gonna have one of their best rushers. I
think cam Ward is gonna be under total durest this
entire game. I think Jacksonville is just going to steam
roll Tennessee, lay the big number. I don't see any
reason why they won't win this game by more than
two touchdowns, lock up the South, and lock in at
least that number three seed, because the other side of
that equation is gonna be when Houston takes on. Indeed, now,
let me ask you a question. If Riley Leonard was
really the future, if they thought he was the future,
how in the hell do you jump through a million
hopes to go ahead and bring in a forty four
year old grandfather and Philip Rivers. The answer is you don't.
The reason you do is because you know he can't play,
and you know he sucks, which is exactly what you're
gonna see firsthand. Here against this Houston defense, who again,
Houston needs a win and a Jacksonville loss and they
are your AFC South champions and get the three seed.
The problem is they're both playing at the same time,
which means there won't be any scoreboard watching. It'll just
be pure annihilation by both Houston and Jacksonville against those teams.
Speaker 2: Press Joe.
Speaker 1: Before we get into the NHL rundown, we got three
rookie not rookie coaches, two rookie coaches in Jacksonville and Chicago,
and then we've got rabel over in New England. Who wins.
The Coach of the Year.
Speaker 2: Should be Sean Payne.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, do you have Denver is
only losing three games and being you know, the road
to the Super Bowl for Denver as I sure.
Speaker 2: As hell didn't. I thought they'd be all right.
Speaker 1: But I went about car What about if Carolina makes
the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Can't give a Coach of a Year to a five
hundred team like Okay, yeah, Grant most improved. But if
we're talking about you know, the what did you see
bow Knicks as being? Then you know, I don't know
anybody that so we knew they had all good defense,
but I didn't see them losing three games and the
road to the Super Bowl going through Denver that I
did not see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if Ago or Jacksonville ends up with
home field advantage all the way through. And I got
to tell you, dude, Shanahan performed the best.
Speaker 3: But he also had that easiest schedule, so he you know,
he did more with less.
Speaker 1: But New England schedule, and and that's why I wouldn't
put That's why I wouldn't put them either.
Speaker 3: I just didn't think Denver. I thought they'd be good.
I didn't think they'd be twelve and three, number one
seed good.
Speaker 1: And you know what it's gotta be between Peyton and
Johnson because Chicago schedule was deadly, dude. I mean they
they had to play Detroit and Green Bay twice and
those aren't pofcakes. And then you've got Denver had a
deal with the largers, they had to deal with Kansas City.
Good point, good point. Okay, we got our NHL rundown,
Joe ran AERI there's only a few games in the
NHL tonight, four of them. Let's get into it. Start
with Vegas playing Saint Louis and man, I tell you,
I don't know what to make of this Vegas team.
I really felt like this was a Stanley Cup contending
team and they just can't seem to get out of
their own way. They're not playing good, there's discontent, their
goaltending is horrible. I think we got to look at
Saint Louis here as a plus one twenty dog and
the Rangers playing Florida. This is the Winter Classic in Florida.
I like the under in this game, Joe, probably my
favorite play on the board.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I understand that Florida has played in the overall year,
but the New York Rangers are one of the biggest
under teams in the league. And I think as we
get deeper into the season that Florida Panthers are going
to play more playoff style hockey. I think we take
the under in this game. Seattle is playing Vancouver here, Joe,
and you know, I mean, I'm not gonna bet this game,
but I'd have to look at the dog here Seattle
on the road. The Seattle team is finally starting to
play much better hockey. There was a lot expected from
Seattle coming into the season, and they had just an
earst thirty games or twenty games. Now, they're playing much better,
and I think Vancouver regresses. So at plus one thirty,
we'll take the Dog and Minnesota playing Anaheim. I think
there is a small amount of value on Anaheim. At
plus one ten, I think we see Minnesota have a
slight regression. They were just too hot for too long.
That's it for the NHL. Rundown, Joe, you can borrow
my thirty and add some college hoops.
Speaker 3: All right, let's do it here, pres So we'll start
with the NBA quickly though, as the Nets in the
Wizards started off. The Nets I believe already second.
Speaker 2: Of a back to back.
Speaker 3: Apparently he could barely score a hundred points yes or
didn't score one hundred points yesterday. In fact, against Houston,
they'll have a little easier time for the Wizards. But
I believe Can Thomas is not available in this game,
which is a problem for the Nets. I would look
at a Nets team total under here, the Spurs no
victor Webby Yama here tonight, Prez, and they'm not gonna
need him to beat the Indiana Pacers here, I would
still lay it. It's up to six now Hawks and
knickt Karl Anthony Towns just popped up on the injury report.
He may not go, but this line was hovering around
six and a half seven. I did like the Hawks
hurry up, though, because if he gets ruled out, that
number is.
Speaker 2: Gonna come cratering down here.
Speaker 3: The Nuggets are getting thirteen and at what Yeah, they
are because they suck. Everyone's hurt, the Joker's gone, Bronz gone,
they don't have anybody.
Speaker 2: Gordon's out, and I.
Speaker 3: Believe the Calves are looking to go a little scorch diart,
so I would still with the Cavs in this spot.
The Bucks laying five and a half against the Hornets.
The Bucks also going a little scorched dirth. Ever, since
getting Yannis back, the Magic should be able to handle
the Bulls is the Bulls just can't handle that physicality.
Magic might be getting a little healthier too. Keep an
eye on who's out and who's not. The Pelicans at
home against the Trailblazers. It's almost to pick them. Pelicans
have been the number one over team at home. I
don't think that stops here. The Suns laying twelve and
a half against the Kings. Zach Labine looks like he
is back in that lineup here tonight for the Kings.
I'll take the twelve and a half points the Warriors
getting eight and a half. Questions about whether or not
Steph is going I believe he is, and if he is,
this number is gonna keep dropping. So get as many
points as you can and back the thunder on this one,
and the Lakers will play no defense. I'll still take
the over against the Memphis Grizzlies and a couple of
college basketball games going on here tonight. Listen, We're gonna
learn all we need to learn about Nebraska and whether
it ten or oh start to the season is for
real taking on Michigan State here tonight. If they can
handle the physicality, we gotta have a different conversation about Nebraska.
I don't think they will. I think getting Michigan State
with points not a bad look. And by the way,
one more for you quickly here Oregon traveling three thousand
miles across the country to play Maryland in a conference game,
which is asinine. We've seen this over the last couple
of years, these West Coast teams having to fly out
for a couple of quick basketball games. Usually doesn't work out. Well,
I'll take the points in Maryland in that one as well.
Speaker 5: Press.
Speaker 1: There we go, Joe, outstanding week, Brother, and New Year's
in the back behind us. Thank god. I will be
in Florida on Monday, but I'll be doing this show Monday, Tuesday,
and likely Thursday Friday. Steve Merrill hosting on Wednesday. Joe Niari,
