Speaker 1: Welcome to Way Did You Talk Today, the gold standard
of sports betting shows, where we talked the Talk, Walk
the Walk. It is Monday. We got a big, big
lineup to start the week. Dan, come on in here.
Who do we got on today's show?
Speaker 2: Oh dude, Well, you know it's a Monday edition.
Speaker 3: We got to recap a little bit of what we
saw yesterday, hopefully get you some winning bets for some ugly,
cold Monday night football. But coming up, of course, we
start off Steam Report Johnny the Greek.
Speaker 2: We got crack Man Bill Krackenberger stopping by.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have a prop for you, and you know
he's gonna have a rant for you as well.
Speaker 2: That is the lock of the Century Andy.
Speaker 3: And then we're gonna wrap things up as far as
the guests go. Steve Merrill doubleheader action that he'll be
talking in NBA tonight. He'll get you some plays and
Pistons versus Celtics, Rockets versus Nuggets, and of course he's
gonna get his thoughts on this cold game tonight.
Speaker 2: Andy. We got all around the world. We got prop
plays coming from Andy.
Speaker 3: We got WTF or LFG on a incredible two and
zero run after Saquon Barkley got pull credible. Thank god
that the Eagles you know, ended up blowing out the
Raiders because we had Saquon Barkley under eighty and a
half yards. He had seventy eight yards rushing before these
starters were pulled out for the fourth quarter. So Andy,
I'm pumped, super excited to start off this week.
Speaker 2: And you know, how'd your weekend go? Brother?
Speaker 1: Not good? Listen, We'll tell you what we will tell
you when we lose. We were ready for. Yeah, we
were due for a bad weekend. We've been on such
a tear and the regression hit us this weekend. We lost.
It's kind of frustrating ause we had a winning record
in NFL, but we lost the big play, which is
always really frustrating.
Speaker 4: UFC.
Speaker 1: UFC didn't go well. We lost a cricket game. So
it was just one of those all the group, all
the all the the numbers had to come back. Eventually.
It just came back this weekend.
Speaker 2: So and you know what's great.
Speaker 3: We talk about how we have to handicap weekend and
week out.
Speaker 2: It's it's what we do here. It's what we do
with the show.
Speaker 3: Whether we win either we lose, We're coming back here
on Monday, and no better way to turn the page
and kick things off with our man VR and start
talking some steam report, right Andy.
Speaker 1: Let's bring him on Yanni, Happy Monday. How are you, sir?
Speaker 5: Never better?
Speaker 6: I told you we're we're now fishing with dynamite and
it's been nothing but stealing of late bro.
Speaker 5: Seriously, it's not even a fair fight.
Speaker 6: I don't even feel not to tell, but it's just
been like the games are just jumping off the board.
I have so much information. As long as I process
it correctly, there's no way we shouldn't be winning and
nailed to five percent yesterday with the Saints three and
Ozero on Sunday Night football Minnesota plus five Minnesota money
line under twenty seven and a half Dallas Cowboys team
total like I had this player prop. Like I'm getting
a lot of good stuff and getting better and better
and really seeing where the value is with all these groups,
because it's only been like six months that I'm now
working with these new guys and really worked with Johnny
to get a steam sheet together and really get to
a place where I could just funnel this information correctly.
Speaker 5: So far so good.
Speaker 6: Again, can't guarantee a day every day, every week, every month,
but I'm very confident we're going to close strong twenty
twenty five and twenty twenty six is going to be spectacular.
Speaker 5: What I love is the bowl games start tomorrow. Bro.
Speaker 6: We started last week Saturday had Washington Army doesn't count,
so we want to zero in the bowl games and
they start tomorrow. We have bowl games every single day,
more or less multiple bowl games some of those days.
And then the playoffs are coming to as well as
college football playoffs. So I mean, this is a really, really,
really good time where even the recreational betters could make money.
If you stay away from the negative v shit, stay
away from teasers, stay away from parlays, take your bank
roll and actually put it to work for you, you
could make some money because betters are out there now.
Speaker 5: People are all from work. It's the holidays.
Speaker 6: People are chasing people need money, want money, and you're
just seeing it that the landscape of the market. You
just saw the change over the last two weeks, you're
seeing it with college basketball now that there's not Saturday
college football to bed on. So this influx of recreational
money over these next four to six weeks really is
going to offer a lot of opportunity for us.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at basketball. What do we got
going on on the hardwood today?
Speaker 6: All right, there's like fifteen place probably all together in
the steamsheet, but I'll break some down for you. Start
off with Boston Celtics. They laid the one and a
half with the Celtics. Didn't get any follow through there,
but I am seeing some public money on Detroit. They
also took the Jazz, the Utah Jazz as dogs that
plus two and a half and plus two there. It
looks like an island, looks like the Sharps and the
public both like the home dog books are definitely gonna
need Dallas. And then over that they just kept betting
Houston Denver. They went over two thirty three on the
opener they went over to And this is the kind
of adjustment you need to pay attention to. If you
have your Odds Logic screen up, or at least your
wager Talk screen up, hit that matchup and look at
the total between Houston and Denver. This is what a
real move should look like. They took an initial limit
bet at two thirty three. They moved it to two
thirty four when they sold another limit bet immediately from
that same player, they went the two thirty six. They
didn't even give them the benefit of placing two or
three more limit bets to get the two thirty six.
They jumped immediately and said, so what now, we're open
for a middle. We trust that he's right and we'll
open that up for you guys. So when you see
a move like that, those are as legit as they
come college basketball. I know there's a limited board, but
they're betting signs in totals. First game on the board,
East Texas and m Lions plus five and under two
thirty nine and a half Woford and Gardner Webb.
Speaker 5: They bet this one would follow.
Speaker 6: Through over one fifty three and a half, then followed
through it over one point fifty five. They went with
North Alabama minus one and a half, minus two, minus
two and a half. So they gave them because that
two thround the key number when you're talking, you know, hoops,
that's why you sold half point increments. But wonn't be
surprised to see that one keep climbing because they also
went over one thirty four, followed through going over one thirty.
Speaker 5: Six in that game.
Speaker 6: And last but not least, actually the first legit move
that went into that steam sheet in college basketball was
Wyoming Wyoming minus.
Speaker 5: Four and a half. So that's some of the college
basketball and NBA.
Speaker 6: Again, there's more in there for subscribers, steamsheet guys, and
more should be coming in throughout the day, coupled with
some of those NFL player pop props later on Monday
Night Football.
Speaker 1: That that line is interesting. So when that happens at
like one book in particular, does it end up kind
of having the ripple effect that it moves across all
all books?
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and that it's where Andy is the difference
today than back when I got here, because all that
book has to do is look on their screen and
they saw that this book book this took it at
you know, uh, two thirty what was it, two thirty three,
They took a bet.
Speaker 5: They took a bet at two thirty four and went
right the two thirty six.
Speaker 6: Now, you know, most books probably didn't take that same
wager because they were probably firing off screen to not move.
Speaker 5: The screen a lot.
Speaker 6: But while that's happening, you look up and you see
that the Sharper Books moved it to two thirty six.
You now have that ability to move to two thirty
six with never having booked the bet, which we call
moving on air. Back in the day, that would never happen.
I would have had the bet over two thirty four
to thirty five to get the market to two thirty
six all across. Now they just do it moving on
air like you never have to book a bet, And
that's where the landscape's changed. We're now dealing with bookkeepers,
not bookmakers. There's very few books makers in the world still.
Most they're just bookkeepers. They're keeping book they're managing risk.
There's a computer program that shows them what they're hold
is how they need to balance that risk. It doesn't
take very much again no disrespect, but it doesn't take
all that much insight. The computer programs telling you exactly
how much risk you have, telling you exactly if you
move the line at half point this way, you'll entice
money that way, if you move it a half point
that way, you'll get money the other way.
Speaker 5: And they're just bookkeeping, just managing risk.
Speaker 6: If you out there the John Murray's like we have
on the show, Dave Mason bet online that you have
on the show. Guys like that actually book make they
have an opinion, they're willing to take a bet at
their number at their opinion. A lot aren't willing to
do that, and that's why you see those kind of
movements without ever having taken a bet.
Speaker 1: Interesting. How did UFC wrap up for you?
Speaker 5: I didn't do well, Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't do it.
Speaker 6: I didn't get crushed like I had like two percent
plays that were like at the plus two hundred range.
You know, just thought there was some ev there, but
don't expect to cash too many of those. Even when
you're running hot, you're gonna throw six out of ten
of thos away. But I got there with Copp which
I needed. That was a four percent and closed out
the last MMA card and bet with a winner. That's
good springing into twenty twenty six because, like I said,
it has been my worst year and over the last
five six since I got signed with the UFC, this
has been my worst year betting I won on my podcast,
I turned the profit. I turned the profit on the
show for the UFC that I do as well, but
that's not what I did in real life. Like, it
looks like I won on both those shows for twenty
twenty five, but in real life I lost. Like if
you booked me an MMA, you made money off me
because I had a losing year. And that's gonna happen.
You know, four or five straight winning years, I have
a losing year. I trust twenty six.
Speaker 2: I'm going to.
Speaker 6: Progress back towards my meme, which is profitable, MMA better.
But I had a tough go of it this year.
I don't know how you did when the dust settled.
I know you were running hot when I was running cold.
So I hope you ended up with a profit, but
I did not.
Speaker 5: I did not. It hurt my overall for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: In fact, yeah, we ended up down a little bit
for the year as well. It was a difficult year.
It was in UFC, it was it was pre fight.
Pre fight was tough.
Speaker 5: You nailed it, So I'm not my originate or did
the same thing.
Speaker 4: We lost.
Speaker 5: He lost with me. He won because of live betting,
but he lost pre fight with me.
Speaker 1: Well said, yeah, I don't know what the difference was
this year. Why we could just watch the shows that
watched the fight, to watch the events and you learn
nuggets of information or you know, something happens. But you know,
moving into twenty twenty six, it's definitely gonna be live betting,
a lot more live betting and less pre fights. So
uh yeah, UFC was really really tough.
Speaker 6: Yeah, David in the chat just said the same thing,
And I got that from sharp betters.
Speaker 5: I got it from recreational betters.
Speaker 6: Like no one really bragged about twenty twenty five in MMA,
and it was even a weird year with the wrecked
in with the ipoe like just the that. Let's just
move on to twenty twenty six when it comes to
mixed martial arts.
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of moving on, we can even move off
of the MMA, Giohanny, because you mentioned how excited you
are here coming up for Bowl season. You know, you
had you had the LA Bowl this past weekend. I
already have some questions coming in, you know, some look
aheads too for some of the you know, New Year's
six games. I thoughts Sean's asking about anything that you're
seeing maybe in Texas first Michigan, but more in the
fore ground, Johnny, what do we see coming up this
week here for you as tomorrow?
Speaker 2: We already got the Veterans Bowl Troy and Jacksonville State.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Let me, I'm pulling up the steam sheet the seacoas.
There's a bunch of college football in there, he said.
Speaker 5: The Michigan game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this one's not until I haven't seen
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't seen anything on Michigan game yet, but
the ball's coming up this week. I saw Old Dominion
get bet at plus three and a half. I saw
Louisiana Lafayette get bet at plus three. I saw Memphis
get bet at plus six. Later some of those playoff
games or what have you. Oklahoma plus one and a
half got the money, Miami plus four got the money.
A couple other four and a half, four and a
half and four couple other college football.
Speaker 5: Steam moves forward.
Speaker 6: I'll just give them to you byu minus three and
three and a half, San Diego State from plus six
all the way to plus three and a half, Missouri
State plus one and a half to plus two and
a half.
Speaker 5: Forgive me the minus one.
Speaker 6: So they flipped the favorite there, and who else Toledo
Toledo double digits, getting ten on Toledo and even late
fifteen to get the ten when they adjusted, so they're
definitely betting these college football As you notice, I'm strictly
giving out signs because there's so much manipulation and middles
taking place on the totals and uh coach leaving player
not playing effects those so much. I would hate that
to urge you to lock in at a bad number
where you know later on a lot of things change.
But with the signs, we tend to see like what
I share is legit. You'll get some take back because
things change to now and kick off, but they are
legit moves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just one thing I want some quick clarification on yan.
You mentioned in that Ventures Bowl ul Lafayette Delaware. You
mentioned you saw plus three, so that I mean they
were taking Delaware in that because you mentioned ul Lafayette
plus three there minus three, So they're taking the dog
in that one.
Speaker 2: They like they like the Blue Hens.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, Delaware plus three and plus three and
a half, that's what I But the ulll that's the
thing at minus three at minus three, So you see
this a lot if that's where it's.
Speaker 5: Sitting that way now, because I just got.
Speaker 2: To take back it's just ll today.
Speaker 6: Actually gotcha where one of the first places in the
steam sheet was Delaware plus three and a half, and
that's what you're going to see.
Speaker 2: And now it's gone, it's three painted.
Speaker 3: There's even two and a half's out there and you're
already on the other side, so that they know.
Speaker 5: Exactly and you'll see that. You'll see that in college
football with these bowl games. Yeah, there was another one
point where.
Speaker 6: We did that and we actually came we're in the
steam sheet it said like team A, and then we
came back bet team B for like I saw two, three,
four x the amount and I let them know we're actually.
Speaker 5: Coming in opposite what it shows on your sheet.
Speaker 6: Yes, that got steamed, but now we're hitting this side
as the real move and you get to see that
play out.
Speaker 5: So that's why you'll I worry about.
Speaker 6: Locking in positions two three weeks ahead because I don't
want to come back and piss off subscribers, be like, dude,
this one got set up and we're now have to
come back and go three X on the other side
and confuse people. So I've been waiting, confirming, then releasing,
so we don't have that issue. But it happen with
the with the bowl games and the playoffs because the
lines are tight this late in the season.
Speaker 1: All right, Yanni, what you got up for everybody on
this Monday? You've been running red hot, Let's keep it going.
What do you got for everybody?
Speaker 6: The Monday Night Football Pass has been up from before
the weekend.
Speaker 5: That was a confirmed move earlier, so that's already in there.
A four percent.
Speaker 6: Play lately, we've been able to confirm side in total
on these primetime games. Not one hundred percent there, but
I'm pretty close, so don't be surprised if that happens
between now and kickoff. But there'll be more in there
because of the player prompts, the team totals, like yesterday's
Sunday Night game. I will not have a package in
NBA College Basketball or NHL because of the steam sheet.
Speaker 5: All of that will be in.
Speaker 6: There already, and if anything gets confirmed to subscribers, I
always put an asterisk in that sheet so they'll get
it for that instead of having to do multiple packages.
All of that will be in there. Not a lot
of games on Monday, but definitely opportunities. Let's just keep rolling, man,
keep grinding. Holidays are ahead. We all need some money
in our pockets. So let's grind, all right, you need
the Greek.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. Let's have a
big week, all right, Dan, we gotta got quite a
few questions from NFL Week fifteen. Let's let's dive in.
Let's dive in. Uh, Chiefs in rebuild mode next year?
Speaker 3: I mean, with the injury to Pat Mahomes, it's not
like you're just going to pick up where you left off, right,
And this is an aging roster already. You know the
two leaders that you have on either side of the ball.
You have Chris Jones on one side, you have Travis
Kelcey on the other. These guys are in the twilight
of their career.
Speaker 2: So you know, Andy, let's be real.
Speaker 3: One of the hot takes I had coming in and
I took quite some flak here on the show, was
Chiefs are gonna miss the playoffs this year now in
the resounding fashion which they did. I didn't expect Pat
Mahomes a year to get injured or anything. But heading
into the year, man, you got to find out what's
the timetable for him.
Speaker 2: But they need to get some youth on that roster.
Speaker 3: They need to figure out something at the running back position.
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's going to be full rebuild.
Speaker 3: When you have Pat Mahomes under center, you're never in
a you can always win, right, But how does that
injury comeback? Look like they need to retool. That's for certain.
I would be very active in free agency. I would
be very active in trading and accumulating draft picks.
Speaker 2: If I'm the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That's just brutal. It happened so late in the year now,
I mean, at the beginning of the year is in question.
That's that's exactly. I didn't change this question from last week.
Who's the best team in the NFC South?
Speaker 2: Throw at dark dumps dumps. The fire.
Speaker 1: Is Joe Burrow the next Andrew Luck.
Speaker 2: That hear him talking every every press conference.
Speaker 3: He's talking like like you know what he when he
came back and he won the game, he was like,
we get paid millions. It was really great answer. To
play a kid's game. That's why I want to play.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: He's basically in the press conference saying I suck yesterday,
Like it feels bleak for Joe Burrow. But let's be real,
that's what this Cincinnati Bengals kind of team and how
they're set up can do to you.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've kind the lame duck head coach for
way longer than they should. They've done nothing to really
capitalize on the fact that they had a three headed beast.
Speaker 2: In the receiving corps.
Speaker 3: Nothing up front to help Joe Burrow as far as
offensive line goes. So if you were Joe Burrow, would
you want to keep trotting yourself out there get shut
out in division?
Speaker 4: Hell?
Speaker 1: No, no way. Sorry for the typo. There was Philip
Rivers better or worse than we expected.
Speaker 3: He was a quarterback that played football yesterday, Andy, That's
probably about the best that we can say about Philip Rivers.
I was watching that game. I mean, he's getting the
ball out quick. But could Riley Leonard really be that
much worse than him? I think what yesterday showed was
this Colts team is good enough to still complete hang
with the team they went on the road. You know,
they're thirteen and a half points. They nearly win that
game outright, But Philip Rivers wasn't the reason that they
were close in that game, you know what I mean?
And it make horrible mistakes, but he looked like a
grandfather playing football in twenty twenty five, and that's that's
what we can say.
Speaker 1: I thought it showed that Seattle's not not there yet.
They're they're they're they're just too they're too limited on offense.
They have well one guy, their running backs are not
very good. Sam Darnold just he'll let you down. Of
the biggest moment that was I thought that was a
bad look for them.
Speaker 3: Well, if you remember on Friday, one of the games
that was one of my favorite picks heading into the weekend,
was that that ten point essentially line move that you
saw in that Seattle Seahawks and Coltskin. The reason being
was three and a half was your look ahead line.
There was no quarterback in the world that is worth
ten points to that line and Mike McDonald. You know,
this year it's been better, but under Mike McDonald, this
Seahawks team has not covered with regularity or won with margin.
Outside of a couple of blowouts that they had this
season at home. They're better on the road under Mike McDonald,
which is really strange when you think about what you
typically know about Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: By the way, you and I make no sense you're
betting on my team. I'm betting on your team. Like
and we both want we both we both won, whatever reason,
and then uh listen to Hideesight's twenty twenty. Did Dallas
win the Parsons trade? You almost have to say yes
at this point. I mean, you obviously don't know it.
You'd know something like this was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But I mean, okay, they they you know, they got
some draft picks whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Well the biggest I didn't pay him. They
didn't have to buy him. That is a lot of
money that that that they saved from.
Speaker 3: Well, they still have to have it be Jerry Jones
and co. Who will be managing that roster and deciding
who they will overpay. So they didn't fight, they didn't
overpay him, but they'll find someone.
Speaker 2: To overpay there in Dallas, for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to where the books won, Where
the public won not a ton. There was a lot
of money on the Arizona Houston under and people were
most of the tickets were on the Giants, which is
mind blowing. But here we are, where are the public one?
Houston minus points, Eagles minus points, Jacksonville in the under?
In in the Colts, And the second that game started,
I was like, why didn't I bet the under, Like
like the Seahawks Colts, you can just see what was
gonna happen. Colts are gonna run, run the clock down,
and uh that that was That was a really good one.
All right.
Speaker 3: They pro pointed out, Yeah, they'll they'll overpay Pickens next. Yeah, well,
I don't know if Pickens is really doing much to
earn a overpay when he's half aassing on routes. He's
he's maybe reading the same book A J. Brown Roade
during the season as.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tough, tough stretch for George for for for mister Pickens. Okay,
it's a lot of you are in fantasy football playoffs. Uh,
most of us are betting props. So let's go to
the winners. I mean Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts. I
was really upset at myself. I didn't put that Kirk
Cousins passing yards properly in and loved it, and he
obliterated that one. Kyle Pitts shows up out of nowhere.
Bo Nicks, Cortland Sutton have big games Andandre Swift is
playing really well down the stretch. Travion Henderson has potentially
been a league winner. Krosskey Merritt did the most with
with the Rodriguez getting out. That was a sneaky one.
Dallas Goddard, your boy had a good one. And the Jags,
I mean Trevor Lawrence and Travis etn I don't know
how many teams are in fantasy playoffs that would have
started these guys. I am in the league where somebody
did start Trevor Lawrence. They also started Trey McBride and
Kyle Pitts and Nico.
Speaker 2: Five touchdowns he accounted for yesterday five.
Speaker 1: I mean, starting Trevor Lawrence in your fantasy playoffs is insanity.
Speaker 2: But it's a choice.
Speaker 1: Who's this I have never heard of this Jordan guy
for Houston. He just comes in has success immediately. Of course,
uh Pooka and a Monrock come through huge and Brock
Party had a really big game as well. Losers, George
Pickens in more than one way. Pickens is losing money,
he's losing stats, he's losing your games, he's.
Speaker 3: Losing his teammates respect now he's pounding all over the
sideline in close games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not not been a good run.
Speaker 1: For Pickens Justin Jefferson, it's just not happening. It's just
not happening with JJ McCarthy hit.
Speaker 4: Him in the hands.
Speaker 3: When you've seen Justin Jefferson drop touchdown passes wide open
in the end zone, hitting him in the hands, there
is just zero chemistry between him and JJ McCarthy. And
also JJ McCarthy throwing the most uncatchable knuckleball at his
wide receivers time after time certainly doesn't help.
Speaker 1: Uh, Sdar Sanders, that was rough. All the Bengals really
let everybody down. I guess Jamar Chase in PPR was okay.
Uh just that Chargers Chiefs game, that was a stat vacuum.
Brock Bauers, I know he got over his receptions, but
he didn't have any yards in Ashton genty. Just those Raiders, guys, man,
have they been in disappointed it with stats? So all right,
those are your props Fantasy football, big winners and losers.
Let's bring in a big winner, Bill Crackenberger, Bill, Happy Monday,
how are you hey?
Speaker 4: Popped the blood vessel in my eye? That's that's how
I am.
Speaker 2: Oh No, one of those weekends.
Speaker 4: Oh man, it looked so much worse. Two days ago.
Speaker 7: It looked like a horror, like a Frankenstein movie.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I uh it's you could do that.
Speaker 7: I didn't realize it by sneezing, Like I have friends
that are doctors. The doctor said to me, you can't
bend over when you sneeze. I was like, doesn't everyone
like go like that?
Speaker 4: Oh you start getting older.
Speaker 7: The proper way is to put your hands on your
chest and sneeze.
Speaker 2: What for the.
Speaker 3: Crook of your arm, like I hands over the chest
is wild, Like you're you're being like like a mummy.
Speaker 2: You're being Mamma fied.
Speaker 4: And and that's not actually how this though this this
might happen.
Speaker 7: I was down in hard rock in Florida for three
days and I had a touch of food poisoning.
Speaker 4: So I guess that was spraining. I actually was.
Speaker 7: Throwing up, which don't mean to say that, but if
anyone knows, you guys hate who likes to draw up.
But I think that's when it happened. And yeah, now
the hard rock food is great. But I went to
the downstairs to the coffee shop.
Speaker 4: I mean to the gift shop and got some of
those like roll ups. What do you call them like
like you're like Brazuto and cheese. I obviously that was
something wrong with it. So anyway, yeah, just but however,
I love it down there.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, what a great property, what a great
just a great time down there. It's one of the
best properties in the world. Absolutely love hard Rock, a
really good time. And uh I stayed in the.
Speaker 4: Guitar Tower, but I don't recommend staying in that tower.
Speaker 7: I recommend staying in the tower that's like next to
it almost looks like.
Speaker 4: The Fountain Blue of Miami.
Speaker 7: I rounded tower, which they have all the sliding glass
doors in your own personal deck, and that's just a
standard room over there too.
Speaker 4: I believe great pools, great great time.
Speaker 7: The casino itself, busiest casino in the world as matter
of fact, Park Rock Tampa on hard Rock Hollywood. There's
not one casino in this town that does more money
than them. There's some one in number two in the
United States. If anyone's been down there, you realize it.
You see how much money it is for everything. You're like,
I had a comp room and I was not checking
out and I still charged me forty five dollars a night.
Resorts here, what it's a comp like there's so many
little fees they get you on and you know, be
prepared to get busted out down there. It's it's everything's
high end, but it's nice. It's like being in the Bahamas.
It's like being at Bahamar or something's really nice.
Speaker 4: I say that.
Speaker 7: Then you go outside the property to the wah wah
on the street and it might be one of the
worst wah wahs in the country, Like you really have
to worry.
Speaker 3: Yeah I could. I couldn't go with the Florida wah wah.
You know what I mean as a Philly guy through
and through. You know, I know I know a good
wah wah when you see him. I don't know if
that would be my first stop when I'm in Florida.
Is we see how the wah wahs are doing down
here in Florida, but they're.
Speaker 2: Taking over the East coast.
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, I like I like publics down there. They
make these sandwiches that are we don't have that here
in Vegas. So that's the one about food.
Speaker 7: But it is part of uh it is part of
my life though, so uh, you know it is what
it is.
Speaker 3: Well, Andy, what what I always love about Mondays is
you know you're gonna get a problem crack man here,
you know we're gonna get to break down what happened
on Sunday. I didn't know that we were gonna get
handicaps on how to sneeze properly, So you never know
what you're gonna get when we when we got man
stopping buy in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, it's just as you get old, you know,
the more candles on the cake, more problems you have.
Speaker 4: So that's uh, it is what it is.
Speaker 7: But yeah, no, this weekend was a weird weekend for
like everyone I know. Everyone I know had a tough
weekend this weekend. So listen, I'm maybe one of those
at Johnny is also and I know Andy is too.
Speaker 4: I'm very transparent.
Speaker 7: Listen, I've had lots of winning weeks in a row,
and I come on in the space and say it.
Speaker 4: I'm the first one to say I had a losing week.
Speaker 7: So, but however, how many weeks in a row can
you win? I really had a having a great season.
I couldn't have asked for anything better. NFL props have
been great. College basketball hold my own college, I mean
the NBA props winning so I definitely had had a
bad week. But you know down there when I was
down in Florida, I think I have got twenty nine props.
Like how do you give out a dozen to people?
They would get like, what are you doing? We don't
have to bank roll for a dozen props, So you
hope to pick out the stronger ones and give them
the ones that I doubled bet on.
Speaker 4: And yeah, just.
Speaker 7: This week didn't didn't turn it out good, but hey,
it happens, I said Bill.
Speaker 3: Speaking of those nice big prop sheets, you got anything
that you're looking for tonight for the folks that you
can you can throw out their NBA anything in this
NFL game, Any props that stand out the board that
maybe you could throw for our listeners here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I do have an NBA prop.
Speaker 7: We've won a couple of these in a row on
the show, So see if we can pick off another
one here. I'm going with Scottie Barnes and the Raptors
over twenty eight and a half points in rebounds.
Speaker 4: This Toronto team has lost six of the last seven
after winning thirteen or fourteen. It's so crazy, So trying to.
Speaker 8: Get back on track tonight in Miami, and he'd have
been playing a small lineup, So Barnes should be able
to get some points in the paint tonight and control
the boards as Scotty Barnes.
Speaker 4: Over twenty eight HAF points in rebounds. So there's a
free prop for you guys.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at a couple of different sites here that
have that number, so.
Speaker 4: You know, I always like to give out an obtainable number.
Speaker 9: So there you go.
Speaker 2: What else is Scotty Barnes actually playoffs?
Speaker 4: College football playoffs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what we were going to actually ask you
here next Bill.
Speaker 3: We already had some questions coming in obviously the game's
going this weekend Friday Saturday. You know, one of the
questions was, what's the thought Alabama being favored over Oklahoma?
Do you factor in any of you know, your personal
power rankings when you're looking at how these games go.
Are you checking out on line move work since they've
been posted for a while, as far as betting these
college football playoffs? Any thoughts on the games themselves or
how you're just handicapping this part of the season.
Speaker 7: I like when that first line or two goes up there,
and you know, people think there's many different bookmakers. That's
not the case at all. As a matter of fact,
there may only be one or two in Las Vegas.
But the real line comes from Costa Rica, from Chris.
That's Costa Rican International Sports. They put up the lines first,
and most of the other books copy that. Now that's
not to say always, because the Westgate will put up
lines on certain things before anybody.
Speaker 4: Also, and like either or in college basketball.
Speaker 7: The tournament, sometimes Chris Andrews over there at South Point
will put up games before anyone. It's not as hard
as you think that get an efficient line after the
entire season, though, so goes. It's not that hard, but
there'll still be groups that bet both ways. So only
one or two sportsbooks put up a line. I'd like
to know what Chris puts up, because Chris has someone
bet without the lines being public, bet into them first.
And I know the guy that bets into them, very
sharp guy. So he'll formulate the lines. But you know,
we're against them all the time, and you know it's
hard to it's hard to bet every single game, so
it's almost like every single game he puts up a line,
they put up a line. He kind of gives him
a force bet what he thinks every single way.
Speaker 4: So I know that is so I know.
Speaker 9: That process works.
Speaker 4: Alabama versus Oklahoma, well it should be a close game.
Speaker 7: That doesn't take the amazing Crescin to say that, But
I think it's a this is a grind it out
type of like twenty to seventeen type of game. Could
come down to the last position, possession and what else
Mississippi's out there. I think Mississippi should believe it or
I you know, it's hard for an old school a
handicap or a slash person like myself.
Speaker 4: But you have to evolve. And I want to talking about.
Speaker 7: Is I never bet fit big favorites. I still won't
bet a big favorite in the NFL. I refuse to
do it. I'm not laying double digits first anything.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: On my Fox Sports radio show, we do a nationwide show.
I'm a five hundred network, So bring I get to
bring on the director of MGM.
Speaker 4: There's no one hire.
Speaker 7: He's the director of risk for the entire company. He
comes on with us and he is a cash register.
But my brain still won't buy it.
Speaker 4: All the time.
Speaker 7: You know, when they do these line splits and stuff,
and you see these percentage of people that you see
a website, a percentage of people that's on this game.
Speaker 4: I don't believe it. How's that sound? I need to
know from the sports book directly.
Speaker 7: I don't believe those splits unless unless the splits are
coming in directly to the at that place where at
the media source, I don't buy it. So, however, I
got a guy here that's controlling, you know, one hundred
millions of the one hundred million dollars on weekend.
Speaker 4: I want to know what's going on. And like, yesterday
shocked me.
Speaker 7: I just seen you guys had had a graphic up
that said the public was on Jaguars.
Speaker 4: Well, at bet.
Speaker 7: MGM, eighty percent, eighty percent of the betters were on
the Jets plus fourteen.
Speaker 4: So he was like, this is unusual for us.
Speaker 7: They're always rooting for the dogs in those big double
digit games. This was the only time this year eighty
percent was on. Also, eighty percent on Carolina, which is
only unusually. Said, everyone bet Carolina. We need the Rams,
we need the Saints desperately. He got home with that.
What was the third game? Oh, Seattle, Indianapolis. Everyone bet Seattle.
We can't make the line high enough for Indy so
three and ol yesterday again on the bookmaker sides, and
was where was Bill Bill Krackenberger's money?
Speaker 4: None of them.
Speaker 7: I don't like bettan NFL sides, So what an idiot
I am? Again, I have I have an assistant that
keeps track of these things. I'm embarrassed to say that
that's sixty for the over sixty percent now for the season,
now that they went to yesterday. Just listening to christ
just listening to Christian the MGM director, all I can
say is again, God protects the bookmaker. It's all I
can say. And I'm that serious. It's amazing how they
get there with that kind of decision, that kind of
money on that Jacksonville game, which usually they're rooting for
the Jets. For some reason, they had all Jet money
and that just showed me with the publics on. So anyway,
going back to what I was preferring to, that got
me here, Mississippi should cover the sixteen versus Tulane. I
just don't see to Lane's defense stopping Old miss They
can put up sixty in this one. So that's what
I mean by evolving. I can bet those double digit
favorites in college football, especially the beginning of the season,
and even here in a playoff.
Speaker 4: You know it, there's interesting. Now.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go right back, and I don't know if
you guys were expecting all these plays from me. I'm
gonna go right back now and say the most interesting
thing to me, and let.
Speaker 4: Me just make sure it's still twenty one and a half.
Speaker 9: It was moving a little bit.
Speaker 4: Twenty one and a half.
Speaker 7: Okay, he's still twenty one half right here at Westgate.
The most interesting one to me, hear JMU versus Oregon.
You know my co host on on Fox's Jeff Schwartz,
who played for Oregon, played and played in the NFL.
Speaker 4: He's on the opposite side here of me. He thinks
that you know, likes he's like the biggest JMU player
is the smallest guy on Oregon.
Speaker 7: He's just comparing squads and schools. But that's why you're
getting twenty one and a half points. A lot of
people think Oregon's gonna completely dominate this one, and they're
twenty one and a half point favorite. But JMU has
a good defense, and uh, you know, they have a
good run game. They'll try to control the clock a
little more, keep the ball out of Oregon's hands both
Oregon's offensive offensive, quarter and defense.
Speaker 4: Quarner took head coaching jobs. They will be with the
team for the.
Speaker 7: For the playoff run here, but they could easily be
distracted with their new jobs.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of different.
Speaker 7: Things going on, you know, when they take these jobs
mid seeds well it's not called mid season, but it does.
Speaker 4: It could, it could distract. I'm not saying. I'm not
gonna say, jam who's gonna win this game? Out right?
But I think they'll be able to keep.
Speaker 7: This one close and hopefully, uh you know, cover the
three touchdowns spread here. Now, I give out more games
than I usually give out here, and they're not giant bets.
Speaker 4: These are, but their their bets though, but they're not
big bets that.
Speaker 7: Are gonna uh be like a bigger higher higher percentage
for me or anything. We're just talking shopping, trying to
give you guys some other things on how I feel.
Speaker 2: So there you go this all right?
Speaker 4: Love it? Bill?
Speaker 1: Tell what you have up at wager talk.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So again I always say, guys, you should join me
for the full season, you know, go at least to
super Bowl props for sure, because we have some great
things coming up here. Playoff props, super Bowl props. I
imagine the super Bowl. It's like six weeks away, eight weeks,
seven weeks, No, seven weeks away.
Speaker 4: This is crazy.
Speaker 7: We don think like seven weeks the seasons. The official
season is over. We're you know, we're rolling along here
so fast. But yeah, join me over there. Look at
the even the weekly or the monthly program. Like I said,
but get me through the end of super Bowl. We
got lots of props for you, lots of college basketball,
lots of NBA.
Speaker 4: Props, and yeah, fun time.
Speaker 7: I appreciate the time, guys, and letting me go off
here on different ranch anytime.
Speaker 4: Bill.
Speaker 1: Why we love having you on here. Bill Krackenberger, all
of his plays over at Wager Talk. Take it easy, Bill,
good luck on that. I uh, that happened to me,
Dan that it was brutal, it was awful. Although I
was surgery. Oh yeah, I'd have emergency surgery. Man. My
eye filled up with blood. I oh, it's terrible.
Speaker 3: It's all well, Andy before before the chat, uh strings
us up. We bet we we got to give somebody
a free play because the chats Phoenix.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, they're itching.
Speaker 3: They're itching right here for for a free play, So
all right, and I'll do I'll do WTF or LFG.
Speaker 2: And then we got Steve Mail coming up.
Speaker 3: Plenty of free plays, plenty of analysis, folks, Just breathe,
it's all gonna be okay. Here, uh Andy, we started
h and two on these WTF lfg's. They were great
Dave material until they weren't two and oh on the
last two here, So let's make it another one. You
and I were talking when we did the prop show,
you and Andrew McGinnis, and you can check that out now.
The guys break down receiving props, rushing props, passing props,
all of them in thirty minutes or less. You can
check that out on the channel right now. A Monday
Night football prop preview, a prop that I'm betting that
you guys alluded towards but didn't quite pull the trigger.
I'm looking at Darnell Washington, the tight end here for
the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2: We're taking his longest reception over twelve and a half yards. Now.
Speaker 3: The issue with playing volume on Darnell Washington is they
use all three of the tight ends. They're gonna use
John hus Smith, They're gonna use Pat Fryarmouth, And as
of late, Washington has been a featured piece in this offense.
As a matter of fact, he's gone over this number
five out of his last six games. And the thought
process here for me is andy. It's going to be cold,
it's going to be windy, it's going to be a
rough game with checkdowns to the tight ends. So opportunity
should be there for Darnell Washington if he grabs a ball.
What defender on the Dolphins is going to want to
tackle the thirty or the three hundred pound guy who
bowls people over in the open field he breaks a tackle.
Twelve and a half isn't a crazy number for a
big guy to get over. Like I said, he's going
over at five out of the last six Dolphins. They're
also a team who is susceptible to giving up some
yardage to tight ends. Even last week alone, Mason Taylor
of the Jets went over fifty receiving yards. So for me,
I don't want to go volume one Washington. I want
to have a catch for a good play over twelve
and a half. It's only minus one ten LFG. Are
we tailing or wtf are we face?
Speaker 1: I'll give you a LFG on this one. I watched, Yeah,
I have watched defenders get out of the way when
Darnaul Washington has been running at him. I watched the
big boys do that. He's huge, and so, yes, you're right,
he gets ahead of steam going in that cold. He's
really hard to tackle. So he's a kind of guy
that can turn a ten yard pass into thirteen or fourteen.
So I'll give you a slight LFG on Darnaul Washington
over his.
Speaker 2: The longest pass a slight So maybe not an LFG.
Speaker 3: This one's just an LG. This one's just a let's go.
Let's Randy comment below. Let me know are we tailing
or are we fading? Darnel Washington over twelve and a half?
Speaker 2: There Steve Merrill coming up.
Speaker 3: But first, Andy, before we turn the page, what do
you have rocking for tonight?
Speaker 2: Primetime? Props?
Speaker 3: As has been the Andy Lang effect? Has that continued?
Or are we locked and loaded for tonight?
Speaker 2: What do we got?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sat out last night's game, glad I did,
but we're in play tonight twenty five and thirteen in
primetime games on the NFL this season. So it's just
I say it every week. I don't know why it
continues to work, but it does. So partner up with us,
Join up. It's just one play tonight. I do have
an NBA play that I'll attach to that one as well.
So looking to close out this week with a winner
on Monday Night football. Only one best bet, it's the
only one I need to cash to night. You can
get that at wt DO Buzz Slash al should be
a good night. All right, let's bringing Steve Merril. We
got to talk about this Monday night football game. We'll
also talk about a couple of NBA games. Steve, Happy Monday.
Speaker 2: How are you hey, boys?
Speaker 9: Doing well?
Speaker 2: One will good? Good good.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Dolphins Steelers game. Dolphins on the
road in the cold, normally a recipe for disaster, but
Steelers not exactly world beaters at this point. How do
you break down this game? Pittsburgh three point favorites, which
kind of surprises me. This Dolphins team's been running the
ball really well, controlling the clock over under forty two
and a half. What do you what do you make
of this game?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 10: It's gonna be extremely cold. It's the first thing definitely
want to point out. In fact, Dan Alexander pointed this
out to me as I was recording the video earlier
this week. I believe Twua is now zero to five
straight up. When it's below thirty, low thirties or less,
it's gonna be in the teams with the windshell. So
it'll definitely be called. And you know, Hawaiian quarterback via
Alabama and now Miami is not good in the cold
Shoka right jockey news here on wager Talk TV. So
you know that that hurts your side with the Dolphins,
maybe hurts the over a little bit. But then we
flip the script and TJ. Watt is out for Pittsburgh
with a lung injury. Sounds awful. Cannot play football with
a lung injury. And you know a lot of times
I don't overreact due to defensive injuries, but what is
as important as anybody in the league. They have been
weaker without him the last few years when he hasn't played.
And then of course we have to talk about Micah Parsons,
now out for Green Bay. Saws the numbers last night,
number one in pressures this year. In fact, nobody in
the NFL the last five years has more pressures than
Micah Parsons, So there are certain defensive guys that you
have to factor. So I really think it's kind of
a wash yere two in the cold. No watt for
Pittsburgh gets me to the over and it's forty two
forty two and a half. I think if you're gonna
play this game, you want to look at the over
should be some points. Both defenses are suspect, and Pittsburgh
also has been a surprisingly good offensive team, at least
from a points scored. You know, I don't think there
are a great offense. Statistically, have not thrown the ball
well at all this year, yet they keep putting points up.
Team totals around twenty two and a half. They have
put up twenty seven or more in three of their
last four games, and if you go back to the
start of the season, they've put up more than twenty
two and a half in about sixty seventy percent of
their games, I believe. So it's a situation where yesterre
coming off the big Baltimore win, maybe a little bit
of a fortunate win last week, and they do have
to look ahead at Detroit this coming Sunday. But the
fact it's a home game Monday night football, I don't
think it's a sandwich spot. And with the Ravens winning yesterday,
Pittsburgh has to keep winning. So it's a focused spot
here for both teams that are in the playoff mix. Miami,
by the way, inns off of four straight wins. They've
gone five and one their last six after a one
and six straight up start. They've won five of their
last six. But I think the over is to play here.
Miami had actually gone under five straight until that thirty
four to ten win against the Jets. I'm not sold
to this Dolphin defense. I don't think they've all of
a sudden fixed the problems they had earlier.
Speaker 9: In the season.
Speaker 10: Lean over forty two to forty two and a half.
And if you are worried about the cold weather factor
with Tue, which I do think is real, then just
take him out of the equation and play the Steeler
team total over twenty two and a half and I'll
check the current number. I did that video earlier this week.
It's still twenty two and a half over minus one
twenty five. That goes at eight fifteen eastern, not on
ESPN Andy.
Speaker 3: Just one thing real quick, I want to throw in there,
because Steve alluded to those numbers, so we'll give the
people the exact numbers too. Steve nailed at oh and
five straight up and TUA is one in four against
the number. And this is when the temperature is at
thirty six degrees or below so on or around.
Speaker 2: Freezing at that thirty two degree mark.
Speaker 3: Oh and five straight up, one and four against the spread,
last three when it was less than thirty degrees like
it'll be tonight, oh and three straight up, oh and
three against the spread.
Speaker 2: So you know, so some.
Speaker 3: Nice stats there, some nice fodder for you folks. You
have those exact numbers. Those are via Mark Lawrence, who
does a great job accumulating stats like that. So those
are the exact numbers there for you.
Speaker 1: I would kill for it to be thirty six degrees
where I am right now.
Speaker 2: Oh it's colder than thirty six.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, it's like zero where I am right now.
It's miserable. Man, it's awful, awful, And I'm.
Speaker 3: Supposed to be moving back to You can't be telling
me these kind of temperatures dear God.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Dan, we got a windshow like in single digits yesterday,
which is unbelievably unusual in Virginia. Told people drip the
fulsets last night. Yeah, we have like a high in
the twenties today. So yeah, I can'not wait.
Speaker 9: Man, pits for the whole East Coast is frigid.
Speaker 10: And yeah, we're gonna see if Tua can play in
the cold, because this will be I think he had
a game, was it last year? The year before, like
Kansas City where it was as cold as this? But yeah,
this is well below thirty six, as you pointed out,
So it's like.
Speaker 2: It's like fifty six degrees here in l A.
Speaker 3: And I have like a blanket on my lap right now,
so I'll be in What was I thinking that I
just bought?
Speaker 2: I bought a house on the East coast nursing, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm like, I'm like the president that had
the polio I got the would be.
Speaker 9: A Fdr Franklin.
Speaker 10: Those of you that are Dan's there and don't have
this big president that had polio?
Speaker 9: What was who was he?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who was that guy? The polio guy?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Millard Fillmore.
Speaker 1: Ah, God, all right, Well, Steve, we got to talk
some NBA here. We got a couple of games here.
We got Piston, Celtics, great game, Rockets, Nuggets. This is
a great game. Let's break both these games down. Let's
start with the Pistons and the Celtics and then we'll
move to the West coast. How do you break down
this game? Books are telling us should be an awesome
mcgame tonight minus two over under two thirty and a half.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know, not a guy we talk about Injie
concerned a lot of time, but Peyton Pritchard is listed
as questionable and not a household name out of Oregon.
It's been the league for about five years now. But
he's the third leading scorer, second assist guy for the Celtics,
and he's fifty to fifty as of a mid afternoon
here with a right neck spasm. So we'll see if
he goes or not. If he does, I don't expect
him to be one hundred percent. That's a little bit
of a knock on the Celtics tonight if you're handicapping
this game. And of course the Pistons twenty and five
on the season, Boy have they broken out the last
couple of years, you know, bottom feeder pick up Cunningham
a few years ago is trying to rebuild the team,
and it looks like it's working. Excellent current form here.
Not only they twenty and five in the season, but
they've won five of their last six straight up well rested.
Also coming into this game, Detroit's been off for two days,
Boston has been off for three days. We had that
whole NBA Cup semi finals this weekend that gave all
the other teams rest, So you.
Speaker 9: Know, we'll see it.
Speaker 10: Pritchard probably's a go with the extra rest, just don't
know how fully healthy he is. And the bye came
in a good time, the mini buye. I guess you
can call it. That came it a good time for
the Celtics because they had that fifteen point loss of
the Bucks, shot just thirty eight and a half percent
from the field, gave up fifty eight percent. So really
coming off maybe one of the worst games of the season,
now playing one of the hottest teams in the league.
You know, a lot of time, whether we're talking football
or even the All Star break in basketball, I'll call
this a mini buy Bye's usually favorite teams that are
struggling and maybe hurts team that are an excellent current form.
With that said, though I'm not in a hurry to
lay points against a twenty and five rested team. With Detroit,
I would still lean towards the Pistons plus one and
a half, but wouldn't be shocked if this is a
little bit of the public dog tonight with Detroit. The
other game we're gonna look at here is Rockets and
the Nuggets. This should be a good one. Sixteen and
six Rockets, eighteen and six Nuggets, two of the best
teams in the NBA. And if, and that's a big
quotation mark, if somebody is going to beat the Oklahoma
City Thunder, it's probably gonna be the Thunder beating themselves.
They had that narrow loss to San Antonio this weekend.
There's only their second loss of the season. But these
are the two other co favorites in the Western Conference,
and maybe this is a runner up game tonight in Denver,
and the Nuggets are playing well. You know, they've kind
of slipt walk through the regular season the last couple
of years after that championship run, been very mediocre in
the regular season.
Speaker 9: That's not the case.
Speaker 10: They're putting more focus on winning some of these regular
season games, and the eighteen and six start definitely shows that.
And here again a little bit of a mini buy
for both teams. Denver played last Thursday. They've been off
for three days and are off of four straight wins
blowout win at Sacramento. They have shot over fifty two
percent or better in each of their last four games,
but if you look at their defense, they've given forty
five percent or worse in five straight. They've given up
fifty one percent or worse th three of those last five.
So they've been playing some high scoring games, and not surprisingly,
the over has been to play. Nine of their last
ten games have now gone over the total. Meanwhile, the
Rockets have gone over back to back games. They enter
here three and one straight up their last four. They've
also shot fifty percent or better in three of their
last four games. However, we're gonna go contrarian with the
total in this one. I mentioned that many buy for
both teams, and I think this is a playoff atmosphere
type game. Total open two thirty two, it's up to
two thirty seven and a half. I think that's a
little bit of an overreaction. I look for more playoff
intensity than expected in this one, and we'll go contrarian
with the under here. Two teams that could put up
some points, but I think they're gonna have some playoff
defense tonight as well. Under two thirty seven and a
half between the Rockets and the Nuggets. That's at nine
to forty Eastern. And by the way, both these games
and not on the Peacock Network. So two national TV
games for you tonight on Monday. Talking some basketball here,
but don't forget, I'm breaking down every college football bowl game.
Free videos for every bowl game on the board. We
started you off with Washington and the I Love La
Bawl speech featuring Gronk, so already want to know in
those free bowl plays, and I've got about forty more
coming for you. We've got Tuesday's game coming up this
afternoon on Monday that should be posted sometime this evening.
The Veterans well between Troy and Jacksonville State. I do

Speaker 1: Steve Merrily, you got any thoughts on the NBA Cup
Championship tomorrow Spurs Nick should be an awesome game.
Speaker 10: Yeah, As I mentioned Andy, you know, the Thunder only
their second loss of the seasons as the Spurs pulled
the upset there. Nick performance by Brunson over forty points,
I think it's like the nineteenth time he'd head over.
Speaker 9: Forty with the Knicks and they flashed.
Speaker 10: The other two guys that have done that more times
it was Bernard King and Patrick Ewing.
Speaker 9: Had like over forty games doing it.
Speaker 10: Brunson's always kind of been the last several years my
favorite player of the NBA because he he's not a
big guy, he's not a flashy guy.
Speaker 9: He just gets it done. Should be a good matchup there.
Speaker 10: He kind of got the up and coming Spurs against
the Knicks, who you know are considered one of the
contenders in the East. I haven't dug into the game yet,
take a look at it tomorrow. I think these one
off games are tricky because it doesn't even count in
the regular season standings, which I think is weird. But
then again, you know, the Thunder pick up a loss
because they had to play a quality team in the Semis,
and then you see what they do with some of
these other games. They try to match up good teams
and we got to, you know, an excellent game tonight
with the Rockets and Nuggets because of it. I wasn't
a huge fan of the Cup when it started. I've
warmed up to it. I'm still not a huge fan
for the courts looking like you're on LSD. But other
than that, I think it's been a pretty good thing
for the league and should be a great game tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: I think it's been a home run for the league.
The team's care.
Speaker 3: Things that Silver has done well, Yeah, I would agree,
this is.
Speaker 10: Like yeah, I mean yeah, anything makes them play their
regular starters in December is a positive in my book.
So and you know, for me, I wasn't sure the
guys would care about it. But and not to be mean,
but it was a little soccer ish. Not a huge
soccer fan, but yeah, I think it's a good thing.
And you know, NASCAR did that, as you know, Andy
with the stage racing, which I like for that same reason.
You know, it gave some meaning that laps two hundred
and three hundred and a four or five hundred overlap race.
Speaker 9: So yeah, anything like that is positive.
Speaker 3: I mean, borrowing some things from soccer, the most popular
worldwide sports.
Speaker 2: You're not the worst idea, maybe not the worst idea
in the world.
Speaker 10: Soccer needs to do it for other reasons though, because
like that it gets a little boring at times in
the middle games they're.
Speaker 1: Very fair, all right, Steve Merrill, thank you so much
for joining us. Great breakdown. To make sure you check
out Steve's free play videos on Way you Talk. All right,
it's time to do some free plays with all around
the world. Dan, if you have to ask you, are
you feeling better about your Eagles?
Speaker 3: It was the Raiders, but the Eagles badly needed a
game like that. Like whether it's the Raiders are not
shutting out a team thirty one nothing, that's the Eagles
first shutout in seven years. Now with Dallas losing two,
Eagles magic numbers down to one to win their division
and be the first repeat champion of the NFC East
in over twenty years.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. The jury is out.
Speaker 3: I want to see how they stack up against the Bills,
because all you have left is two games against Washington,
the game against Bills as the That's the litmus test
for me.
Speaker 2: Has this team gone past?
Speaker 3: Because the play calling was better, man, the play design
was better, the execution was better, but you were.
Speaker 2: Executing against the Raiders.
Speaker 3: I want to see it at against the Bills and
do or die mode, you know, playing for their playoff
livelihood as well.
Speaker 2: That's the game that I have circled.
Speaker 3: Is has things really changed for this Philadelphia Eagles team
going on the road for the Bills this weekend, get
the win, win the division and then and then take
it from there.
Speaker 2: But I want to see how they stack up against
the Bills.
Speaker 3: But I really want, Andy, is to see how you
stack up as we go all around the world.
Speaker 2: What do you got for the folks?
Speaker 1: All right, stupid free plays. We'll start in the NBA.
We're going to Aaron Holiday over one and a half
mad threes. He's gone over in seven out of eight,
and he's getting over six attempts per game. He's shooting
forty eight percent. His usage rate his way up, his
minutes are up. He's been a really nice addition to
this team. They have all the size inside and Aaron
Holliday and Readship, but have been really good on the outside.
So Aaron Holliday to go over his threes. I know
a couple of people mentioned in the live chat Jalen
Wright over his rushing. I agree completely. He had twenty
four carries one hundred and seven last week when a
Chane went out, and I just don't think you go
away from a guy that that performs that well. I
think they run the ball a lot tonight. I don't
see a game script where Miami's getting blown out where
they have to throw. Even if they they get down
a little bit, I still think they're gonna commit to
the run. We've bet over Tua and his struggles in
the cold, so I like this rushing attack with Miami.
They really figured something out. I think Jalen Wright gets
gets rewarded with some extra carry tonight and then I'll
go to the Celtics Piston games. I like Jordan Walsh
over his points tonight. He's gone over and four straight.
His minutes and usage is going up. Piston struggle. They
give up twenty four points per game to power forward.
Jordan Walsh isn't gonna take a lot of shots, but
they're normally pretty good, high percentage shots. So those are
free plays. Holiday over his threes, Jalen Wright over is rushing,
and Jordan Walsh over his points. All right, that's gonna
do it for us. On today's show, Danny're gonna watch
this Monday night football game?
Speaker 3: Or is this I'm addicted to football? Andy, I'm gonna
watch the entire game.
Speaker 2: Hope for the under.
Speaker 3: But folks, again, we got the Darnel Washington over longest reception.
Speaker 2: Let us know if you're tailing or fade in that one.
Speaker 3: If you enjoy, we got over a thousand people watching, Andy,
make sure you like and subscribe here. We did have
some questions coming in here, Andy about some of these
Bowl games. Tomorrow you have Jacksonville State taken on Troy.
There is a free play video up right this very second.
You can Steve Merrill's full take on that game side
and total, and tomorrow on the show we'll get you know,
any late Steam moves that you're seeing.
Speaker 2: We'll have some handicappers talking about that one.
Speaker 3: So if you want to find it right here on
the channel, Steve Merrill breaks down the whole game and
that's the reason to subscribe, and you can get all
of those videos. So gotta love it, brother, great Monday show.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1: I also just I get worried about some of these teams.
I mean, I remember last year we had a bet
on a team in the day of the game. The
quarterback decided to sit like it it can't do the
ball games early. Yeah, like like, yeah, yeah. We put
out videos to kind of help get bets down, but
of course me personally, I'm not betting until the day
of these games if we have anything. Player props have
been good last season we did really good with player
props and Bowl games. That's how I want to tack it.
But you gotta wait till the day of sure that
these teams are playing.
Speaker 3: And you know, Marco has said as much, Yanni has
said as much. Yes, you want to be on the
right side, but think of when Yanni was on here earlier, Andy,
and he was talking about the ul Laffa at first
Delaware game. He was saying, the three and a half
were there, they bet Delaware when it moved to just three.
It's only been action on UL Lafayette. So that's what
you're getting in these bowl games, guys. You know, yeah,
it is what it.
Speaker 1: Is, absolutely absolutely all right. Best bet is up tonight
for Monday Night football. Go grab that that's at WT
do buzz, slash al. Let's do it again tomorrow. Get
some more free plays. But let's hope our pockets are
a little bit fatter after Monday Night Football tonight. We'll
see everyone tomorrow. Thank you very much for joining us.
Good luck in your bet tonight, and take care
