Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Wadger Talk today, the gold standard of sports
Betty shows where we talked the talk and walk the walk.
It is five dollars Tuesday. We got Marquee NBA matchups,
college hoops. We got a lot going going down and Dan,
you're gonna get us started with a lacrosse WTF LFG.
We have two plays for clients. You're gonna go over
one of them, and you pretty you love these plays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I said to you, I always suggest,
I mean I put him in as three unit plays
for me. So we have one that's going at one
o'clock and get over at Andy's page WT dot Buzz
slash Al. We got this other one that's going at
four Andy and WTF or LFG. We are laying the
wood with Johns Hopkins Blue Jays as they're taking on
the townsand Tigers, little in state rivalry Andy, and really
you hear at the beginning of seasons. Ralph Michaels has
come on before and talked about college football teams, teams
with a GUB a game under belt and that helps
or hurt some teams. Well, in this season, it's seeming
like the teams who have gotten off to action early
have really benefited and Johns Hopkins has a game under
belt seventeen to two win over Robert Morris Towson season
opener that was going to be a nice test for
them against UNC canceled Andy because they are deciding to
play lacrosse when it is twenty degrees outside and that
doesn't really work. So a lot of these games have
been canceled. Reason for me, Andy lay in this number.
I'm confident doing it. Johns Hopkins in this rivalry they
play every single year since they're in state together. Towson
has lost four straight against Johns Hopkins. Last year was
a close game, but outside of that, there haven't been
many close games. And it seems to me that early
on in this season, Johns Hopkins is a little bit
different of a team Towson. Also, Andy. Last thing I'll say,
they haven't covered this number at Homewood Field, where Johns
Hopkins plays since two thousand and six. They've had nine
tries to lose by less than four goals. They're one in.
Speaker 3: Eight against the spread sitting at this number, lay the three.
Speaker 1: And a half. It goes at four o'clock today. Johns
Hoppins lacrosse were following or fading Andy.
Speaker 2: Well, clearly we're following. I mean the seventeen X beat
down was impressive last week. And yeah, I believe in
Games Underbelt that that was very very Yeah. Yeah, that
was really good from John Hopkins. So this should be
available on most of your sportsbooks. Here line is holding
strong at minus three and a half. You got plenty
of time to put this one. That one in that
is definitely an LFG. All right, we got a lot
to get to. Let's bring in the Steve Merrill. While
we're doing that, guys, please hit the like button. It
really helps us out. Steve Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 4: How are you not fading Dan on lacrosse?
Speaker 1: That's for sure.
Speaker 4: I was thinking about that is because Andy and I
did that segment Friday. I'm like, and how in the
world would I even make a counter argument to fade
Dan and lacrosse? And I will say the Game Underbelt,
I think the only you know, advantage or disadvantage. I
don't think it's ever a disadvantage, even in football. I
think that well, the disadvantage is a couple of things,
you know, something they've flated the lines in recent years.
I don't know if they do that on lacrosse, but
I guess the disadvantage would be they've had a full
month to prepare for that opponent, where the team that
had to play a game only has like a week
to prepare for him. So maybe that would be the
disadvantage to having a game on your about not having one,
But I made a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Steve too, you know in this again, is
something that you can use across other sports. And because
of this whole like weather angle that's kind of popping up,
you're seeing it kind of happened in college basketball the
last few weeks where teams weren't able to travel were
able to travel. Initially, there was a game scheduled for tousand,
which was why I wanted to come back in because
it was a game that they got canceled, and it
was the day of that the game ended up getting canceled,
so it wasn't like all eyes ahead.
Speaker 3: So I like the I like the point there for sure.
Speaker 1: And it is something again, guys, that you can use
as a handicaping tool, and that's something that we like
to do here.
Speaker 3: Steve does it in his solo gamers as well.
Speaker 1: Is sure we're going to give you picks here, folks,
We're gonna get because that's what we know you want.
But all so we can arm you with some tools
that you can use across different sports or to just
become smarter betters. What do we always say on the video, Steve, learn,
earn win together, And that's what Wader talks about.
Speaker 4: Maybe, And that's why they should also comment below and
let us know if they agree or disagree with your
lacrosse play. I want to know who's on the other
side of it. That's more important. You can, you can
agree or disagree, but who's actually putting money where their
mouth is and playing the other side of Dan Alexander's
lacrosse plays?
Speaker 1: Not me? Not me?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, we got some messages. It's just two
and a half on Draft Kings. Why you shop around
with love even more love this team that won by
fifteen last week. All right, Steve, let's go to the
let's let's do NBA here, We're going to do this
Mavericks and Sun's team. I you know, we're gonna do
a segment a little bit later on NBA teams tanking
and how can we take advantage of that? And you know,
I'm looking at this Dallas team and I just think
they're a lot better than this record ten and thirty three.
You watch him, I mean, Cooper Flagg is just my god,
the sky is the ceiling for this guy. But they've
lost some games in the row in Phoenix, you know
they're right in this play in spot here they're thirty
one and twenty two, easily one of the top three
pleasant surprises from a perspective here. So these two teams
are facing off, I'm looking at starting lineups. It looks
like we're gonna get pretty much the majority of the guys.
Grayson Allen's out, Klay Thompson's questionable, but they got the
Phoenix suns here at minus eight and half over under
two twenty eight and a half. Do you agree with
the line makers it says Phoenix should win this comfortably.
Speaker 4: Well, we've definitely seen some money move on this as well.
Phoenix opened seven and a half, it's now up to
eight and a half. Total has really been hit two
twenty six and a half up to two twenty nine.
So we've seen some sharp money on the over in
this game, and some of it might have to do
with lineups. Who's going to be in Grayson Allen is
listed as out. I saw him questionable on the Odds
Logic screen, the Don Best screen, but he's listed as
out with the new Eastern NBA reports, so he's not
expected to play. Of course, Kyrie has been out lively.
He's out. As you said, Klay Thompson's questionable. He's probably
the only guy in nimrod g league. This is a
Dallas team that's really been banged up this year.
Speaker 1: They made the.
Speaker 4: Trades last week as well. And yes they're on a
downward spiral. And we always talk about not catching that
falling knife. Well, the Mavericks are definitely a falling knife
right now. Not only they oh and seven straight up,
they're just two and five against the spread, and they're
oh and three against the spreading those last three losses.
It's not like they're starting to turn the corner. With
that said, though their last four losses came against Houston,
Boston and the Spurs twice, they also played Minnesota and
the Lakers and oh a feisty little team called the
Charlotte Hornets in betweens. They played a tremendously tough schedule
and while the Sun's are having a surprisly good season,
this is still probably a little bit of a step
down in class. With that said, though I'm not in
a hurry to back a team on a seven game slide.
I do think at some point Dallas will start to
play better here in the next month, maybe with the
new pieces now that the trade deadline has passed, they'll
start to round out. But we want to see that
bottoming process first on A team that's on a seven
game slide should be a focused spot. Also for Phoenix,
they're on a one in three straight up one and
three ats slide, but still a solid team overall, and
they're coming off a bad offensive game, really three bad
offensive games, and those three losses one hundred and three
points are less scored each of those three times. I
think they get back on track though, against a Dallas
defense that's routinely giving up over fifty percent shooting recently.
And I talk a lot about the value of team totals.
If I think it's a good bounce back spot for Phoenix,
if we've seen sharp money on the over in this game,
let's look at the Phoenix team total up and over
one eighteen and a half. I like the Suns up
and over one eighteen and a half. Good bounce back
offensive performance tonight. And if Dallas does start to play better,
as I think they will soon, that takes a little
that of risk away. Can just play the Suns team
total up and over one eighteen and a half.
Speaker 2: Did you see what happened in the Charlotte game last night?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I did not, Actually I did not see the Charlotte game.
Just brawl brawl though I heard those game, so that
was the Charlotte game.
Speaker 1: I'd heard about a brawl, but okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's and of course involved Isaiah Stewart. They all do.
But I got to tell you this Eastern Conference playoffs,
this is setting up for an absolute rock fight with
the Knicks, the Pistons, the Hornets now getting into it.
This Eastern Conference playoffs could be a lot of fun.
So anytime you get Isaiah Stewart coming in, flying off
the bench, attempting to maul and mug a Charlotte Hornet,
Charlotte credit man. They did not back down at all.
So it was a really really fun game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's kind of like the enforcer.
Speaker 4: He's like the thug that comes off the bench in
an NHL game, and that's what you got them there for.
By the way, that snapped Charlotte's I talk about while
they were playing. That snapped their nine game win streak,
which was like their best in like several decades. I mean,
it's interesting, Andy, I was telling someone else, this is yesterday,
about a month ago. You know the NBA stats, the
advanced stats page, you can toggle like five games, ten
games full season. It was about a month ago, and
I put last ten games, and the Hornets had the
best net rating in the NBA. This is like early January,
but I think they'd only gone like five and five
straight up, but they had the best ready, which is
offensive efficiency minus defensive efficiency. It's a really you know,
it's basically who's playing well. So, you know, I thought
that was interesting because they were a mediocre team at
the time and now they've since basically they won like
nine straight right after that, so it's something to keep
an eye on. It was a, you know, a barometer
of something that was about to happen. We'll see if
they come back down to earth or not. Three of
their last four games forty one percent shooting or worse.
So there again, that's a little bit of an indicator
sometimes when teams are turning that corner. And I would
say be careful with the Hornets over the next several weeks.
They're probab due to regress, and they've got, oh, by
the way, Atlanta, Houston, Cleveland on deck. And then those
feisty Washington Wizards who are playing for a championship even
though they won't be eligible for the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that Hornets team. I don't know if
they regress. I think they're really good, so they'll be
there'll be a fun, fun team to watch here. All right,
we're gonna move to college basketball. We're going to talk
Purdue in Nebraska. Don't know much about Nebraska except for
they're a polarizing team apparently with are they are they great?
Are they not great? Overrated? Properly rated? One and a
half point favorite here? Basically pick them over under one
forty eight and a half start with Nebraska. What's your
take on this team?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasna say.
Speaker 4: First of all, I think the betty markets are a
little conflicted as well, because if you check some of
the early numbers here, you know, some of the initial
books opened, like one, it's one forty eight, but most
other books open one and a half too, and that's
exactly where the side and totals are. So very little
movement in this game. And by the way, this is
your national TV game. It's seven Eastern on Fox Sports
one Tuesday night. Nebraska's for real. I write them as
one of the best teams in the country. I have
them pretty much the last several weeks now my top ten,
top twelve of my power Metrics, along with Purdue as well.
Purdue had lost three straight after a seventeen and one
start seven to zero in the conference. They dropped three
in a row against good UCLA, Illinois, and Indiana squads.
Gotten back on track the last two games with wins
against Maryland and Oregon. Stepped down in class, but this
is another step up in class for Purdue. They did
struggle against those other quality teams I mentioned, barely beat
usc barely beat Iowa. They did blow out Auburn earlier
this year, which is one of the class teams they played,
but they also lost by twenty three against a good
Iowa State team. So Purdue has been a little dicey
when stepping up this year, and that is something I'd
like to look at when we're talking about if a
team's a quality like one, two or three seed, I'd
like to look how they'd done against other quality teams.
Nebraska a twenty and oh start nine to zero the
conference up until the last week of January, and then
they dropped back to back games against Michigan and Illinois.
No shame in those losses. Coming into this week, I
had them both as possible one seeds. I think Illinois
probably ended up as like a two seed. Michigan, as
you all know, I've talked about this a lot. I
think they're the most talented team of the country, the
most dangerous team. Everyone's like Arizona's number one seed. How
dare you say that? Well, Michigan's the most dominant team
down low, both two point defense and offense. And when
you have to win six games in a row in March,
I like teams that don't really on the three quite
as much in the more interior strength. So a lost
to Michigan, lost to Illinois, no shame there. They did
bounce back. This is Nebraska bouncing back Saturday as expected
with a twelve point win at Rutgers. So two solid
teams here. You look at how Rutgers. I'm sorry. Nebraska
has stepped up in CLASSA this year. They beat Michigan
Wisconsin by thirty and they'd also beaten Illinois, so that
was also a revenge game from Illinois. They've beaten them
earlier in the season on the road. I like Nebraska.
I think they're for real, and for the fact that
they are kind of conflicted in the betting markets, we
continue to get some value with them. Two evening matched teams.
I'll take the home team in this one. By the way,
both teams give up a lot of shots from three
point range. There's three hundred and sixty five teams in
the nation and Division one men's basketball, and these two
teams ranked bottom twenty or however you want to phrase it.
They both give up the bottom twenty as far as
the most amount of shots from three point range. They
both allow theirtonus to shoot almost forty five percent of
their field goal attempts from beyond the arc, So that's
going to be an important aspect here. I believe that
home teams normally shoot better from three point range, favors
Nebraska and Dulso. Nebraska takes more threes this season, and
they have the better three point defense statistically, So I
like the matchup here. I think they hit their threes tonight,
and I take the Cornhuskers here to keep the roll
going and move their record this year now to twenty
two and two straight up and eleven and two in
the conference. If you're gonna play it, I would lay
it in Nebraska minus the one and a half that's
at seven Eastern on Fox Sports one.
Speaker 2: Nice. All right, Steve, hold it up, let's see it.
Speaker 4: So it's it is five out, five out five dollars.
I do that because I have three, maybe for the
first time ever, three five dollars Tuesday best bets. You know,
we used to be allowed to put up one play
and I didn't Actually I didn't say anything, but I'll
say that I said something. I said, No, that's not
fair to a blanket in the legacy of one of
the greatest American presidents. We should be able to do
multiple five dollars plays. So now it is unlimited on Tuesdays,
and I'm taking advantage two NBA one college wo's my
strongest college basketball best night bell on the entire board
tonight for five dollars, and then my top two NBA
plays for five dollars each. As you know, we've been
read out in the NBA hit almost sixty percent the
past several months, number one all time on NBA side
best bet profit and normally it'd be seventy five dollars
to get all three plays tonight. Nope, five dollars each
because it is five dollars Tuesday, no promo code need it,
And of course a bonus free play every day every afternoon,
I put the last cut for my best bet card
up as a bonus free play. Stevemarrillwager talk dot com

Speaker 2: It's fifteen dollars Friday for Steve over.
Speaker 1: Tuesday day of the week. Andy was so excited for
you on Friday. He still thinks it's Friday. And I
love that, Andy, Thank you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 4: And sorry about that bad bet you had in the
Super Bowl. We didn't get to talk yesterday. I know
you had over fifteen and a half punts at like
plus one million, so I feel bad for you there,
but I know the prop master but occasionally Yeah. Also
over twenty and a half field goals and punts combined
for plus two millions. So that was a That was
a bad beat, man, That was a bad beat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also it was a bummer five percent on minus
forty eight thousand for a couple to not get married
during the halftime show. Just yeah, bummer of losers like
all over the place, Steve.
Speaker 1: Bad beat, just yeah, bad beat on that one. Hey,
let me ask you real quick.
Speaker 4: I don't think they don't have live gatorade markets, right,
everyone pulls that down before the game.
Speaker 1: The only spot is now Steve. I know, you guys
talking about on the best betting show ever, like these
prediction markets that are just so insanely manipulatable that those
are essentially live until until the prop is graded. So
that not not on a regulated sports book, no, but
people were very excited and were hammering that yellow and.
Speaker 4: You get where I'm going with that, right, Yeah, you
guys saw that they had the wooden spatchelor and they
were staring at about the two or three minute mark,
and it did occur to me like, I bet there
is somewhere that has these odds up still.
Speaker 1: Hey, but that's the great thing about the mark. Some
local guy that was just like he was in the
bathroom and he was like, goddamn screwed.
Speaker 4: Course, So I didn't kill them, probably as much as
it would have had it been like blue or if
the Patriots were you know, winning or something, because yeah,
yellow line. Yanni came on Friday, Dan and gave it
to us here on wager Talk Today, and the syndicated
hit it and it was like even money in most spots.
So but yeah, I thought of that. I was like,
this is crazy. They're like literally showing the winning color
when the team has a double digit lead here.
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: Oh good stuff, all right? Steam mail has not one,
not two, but three five.
Speaker 4: I can only get one day, Andy, I can only
get one because I've only got enough for one fifth
of another play for some reason, I have a dollar
bill here along with the five.
Speaker 1: Check the couch, Go fine, go find about a quarter
the other day?
Speaker 4: Actually, I saw some pennies down the other day, and
I normally wouldn't pick up a penny, but now that
they're not making them anymore, Like, if I see pennies.
Speaker 1: I'm grabbing them. It's electors items.
Speaker 4: They're collector's items, exactly are These are pretty nasty pennies,
but they're still worth more than the scent. It costs
three cents to make a penny nowadays, that's why they
discontinued them. But I think it's like fifteen cents to
make a nickel. It's even more expensive to make nickels.
I think it's thirteen cents, So I mean nickels are
going to be next right, we can't do nickel Friday anymore.
Nickel beers. Andy lived on nickel beers at a university.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: We ad a bar that did penny beers until the
first person went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: That was a that's an electric promotion, that's all.
Speaker 2: But the bar would open beers and they just gave
you a little cuffs. Beers were a penny, and the
bathrooms were like right over there, and you just you
held it. You held it, you held it. And then
the first person that would go to the bathroom beers,
what's regular place, and everyone would start booing, oh yeah,
except then everyone would just run over and follow him,
thinking God.
Speaker 1: That you're like, you're a jerk. Thank you, you're a jerk.
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, promotion must be back because the
local CBS saw a spike in depends purchases.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just gonna say, that's the first thing
I thought it. Dan, I wouldn't do that, but like
I was thinking that. But then again, it doesn't do
any good unless you have a really weak bladder, because
if anybody else goes it wouldn't matter at that point.
But you don't want to be that guy or that girl.
Speaker 1: Don't want to be that guy. Don't bring that's a
great promotion, Andy, I love that idea. Well, guys, don't
be that guy and not take advantage of five dollars Twoday.
Steve's got three of the five dollars Tuesday plays and
he's got stuff up as well, all of them do.
So don't be that guy either Steve or girls.
Speaker 4: Hey, we're equal gender offensive on this program, so don't
be nice girl either.
Speaker 1: Damn it. Yes, it is very fair. We're equal opportunity
offenders right here. Steve always a pleasure buddy, Thank you man.
See I have a good one. Check out Steve on
the channel as well, guys. He still has his Top
twenty five video coming. It's college basketball edition, So Steve,
I think the video ended up being like almost a
half hour because he breaks down anytime there's a top
twenty five team in action.
Speaker 3: So Steve doing the work for you guys. Hit that
like button, subscribe and a great.
Speaker 1: Way give him a little five dollar tip with the
five dollars Tuesday, Andy, what do you got rocking for today?
Speaker 2: Big cash last night for a four percent NBA play
that makes four winners in a row, going for five
straight tonight, it was a no brainer to put up
a five dollars play for NBA. So we're running really
really good in NBA, running good in all sports. We
had a nice four percent tennis cash overnight and the
small we're running the six days for the price of three,
you get all of our plays NBA golf, cricket, tennis, rugby,
anything that's just six nine dollars. And we're running the
one year special. It's five hundred dollars off and you
get a bonus twenty five percent coupon that you can
use on anything, anybody and any handicapper. So that is
a smoking deal. That adds up. So Dan, Yeah, twenty
one units in twenty twenty six. Yeah, one hundred and
forty one the last three years, Nobody wager talks one more.
So got good short term, good long term. But it
starts to night with the four percent NBA best bet.
That is a really really excited about that. Feeling frisky
here Dan, the comments section, I'm feeling generous here. First off, Rex,
you won. My friend you we had a little friendly wager.
We didn't see you yesterday. So Rex, you get a
free three day pass. Uh So in the comment section
after the show, make sure you do it. After the show,
give us your wager Talk user name and i'll give
you we'll apply a three day pass to your account.
Correctly called the I mean you didn't even call bread
all spread? Uh he called So that was a that

get this finish team.
Speaker 1: All right? Then Finland Finland men it is? And then Boses,
I'll go into comments and bury him like people do
to us when we love it. Keep the comments coming, guys,
let us know what you're betting the night.
Speaker 2: All right? Wow, okay, so you've gotten lacrosse, You've got
some Olympic hockey. We're watching the the US. That's why
I'm wearing my US A hoodie here. I'm watching the
doing in the early Yeah. US is up one nothing,
So all right, let's bring in Jesse. We got to
talk about what's up Jesse.
Speaker 1: How are you had a pretty good weekend? Boys? Oh
tell me that I gave you a shout out on
the the the show yesterday, Jesse, because I was talking
about how I got buried. None of my Super Bowl
squares hit. My props weren't really all that great. However,
I had an eight to one on Kenneth Walker to
win the MVP thanks to Jesse Shoole. So at the
worst man we had, we had a at least break
even night thanks to the breakdown you gave here on
the show.
Speaker 5: So great work there, man, how you been Yeah, thanks
for the Showdowed. I actually tuned into the show right
at the moment. I didn't even hear about your losses
in the Super Bowl. As soon as I turned on
the show was Dan saying, oh, man, Jesse Shoule called
the m v P, and I the damn it's good timing.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that was That was a hillacious call. I
wouldn't have had the to do one.
Speaker 1: And I also got to sound like a genius in
front of all my friends because I was like, did
you know no one's won the running back MVP since
nineteen ninety seven? It was the Broncos who were in
the Super Bowl, and everyone was like, how do you
know this shit? I was like, yeah, I at the.
Speaker 5: Risk of inflating my ego. Dan, do you remember my
passing yards prop from two years ago?
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, that was that was? Why what was that?
That was like a thirteen to one that was I.
Speaker 5: Think it was also eight to one, but it was
Joe Burrow to lead the playoffs in passing yards and
he had a two hundred yard lead on Mahome. So
everybody assumed, of course Mahomes is gonna throw for over
two hundred yards in the Super Bowl, and I said, well,
you know, probably, but maybe not. And of course that's
that's a couple of big hits in the last three years.
So that's that's something to be happy about.
Speaker 1: Jesse's the future Shool. Jesse the future Shool the new nickname.
Speaker 5: Of course, I did party a little bit too hard
over the weekend. Probably had a few too many bottles
of red wine. Eight damn near a whole smoked pecania
by myself. So I'm really behaving myself during the week
this week on another water fast.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the NBA, Jesse. Let's talk
Spurs and Lakers. Doncic remains to be out. Spurs look
like they'll be on, They'll be on full full full
mode ahead. Austin Reeves played last night, but he is
still dealing with a little bit of an injury. I'm
keeping my eye on this on this lineup for the
Lakers because Lebron doesn't like to play back to backs.
You're putting Austin Reeves a little bit compromised out there
on a back to back. Feels a little dangerous. But
right now, the Spurs are minus eight and a half
over under two twenty seven and a half. For me,
it would be Spurs or nothing. Thundertook care business against
this Lakers team. How do you break it this one down?
Speaker 5: Well, there's not a lot of money to be made
fading Andy Lang in the NBA, so I'm gonna tend
to agree with how you open there. Yeah, the Lakers
coming off that law to the Oklahoma City Thunder and
not an Oklahoma City team playing at full strength. Oklahoma
City's missing two or three of the top four scores
as well. And yeah, Lebron played twenty nine minutes. It's
not just that Lebron on the second game of a
back to back, but you look at the minutes that
both Lebron and Austin Reeves played. Both played twenty nine minutes,
and that's an indication to me that they're throwing in
the towel here in the second game of a back
to back, because, as you mentioned, Lebron doesn't like to
play back to backs at the best of times, and
Reeves was operating on a minutes restriction. He was gradually
bumping up his minutes, and there's no point in having
a minutes restriction if you're going to bump it up
to twenty nine minutes and then send him out there
the next day. So I would be very shocked if
Reeves plays many minutes at all tonight. I think the
same is true for Lebron. And yeah, this has a
double digit blowout written all over it. The Spurs thirty
six and seventeen, sixteen to ten on the road. There
are just four points out of first place in the
NBA behind Oklahoma City, and they've absolutely owned the Thunder
this year. With the injuries to the Thunder, I think
the Spurs have a legitimate chance to pass Oklahoma City
and finish first in the standings this season. They're healthy,
they're getting healthy at the right time. Wemby's back playing
his regular minutes, and then you got a guy like
Stefan Castle going off for a forty point triple double
against the Mavericks in his last game. You know, I
wasn't high on Wemby and the Spurs coming into this season.
I wasn't as high as most people were. I'm not
ashamed to admit when I'm wrong because it doesn't happen
that often anyways. But yeah, the Spurs are the real deal.
I expect them to win this game by double digits.
If I wasn't already scheduled to talk about this game,
they'd be in the fade. I'd be fading the Lakers today,
but I'll fade them anyways. Take San Antonio to win
by double digits.
Speaker 2: Move on here to a fade and you don't have
a You know, there's not a lot of options with
teams to fade, and I appreciate you not taking the
weasel way out by saying, oh, the Pacers, Yeah, maybe
the Pacers who are openly tanking are a fade. I
don't like their chances tonight, so appreciate you not doing that.
Speaker 5: What's a team, Well, that would just be disrespectful to
the fade in general to do something like that, because
that goes against the entire principle of betting against big
public teams and pissing everybody off and then getting a
bunch of comments about how this guy dosn't no ball,
and which I absolutely love. By the way, when I
encourage people to comment and hit me up with your
wrong and as long as it's before the game, because
you know coming in after the game is not productive.
But yeah, come at me, tell me how wrong I am,
because my record. When I get a lot of pushback
from the comment section, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: You live for it. You live for it. So what's
a team we're gonna look at fading tonight?
Speaker 5: As I said, pretty light schedule tonight. It was hard
to find a team that people were going to be
pissed off if I was fading. But maybe we'll have
a few Rockets fans that don't like to hear this,
but I want to fade the Houston Rockets. They're laying
eight points at home against the LA Clippers. Clippers come
in with a losing record, just twenty five and twenty
seven on the season, twelve and eighteen on the road,
but they're coming off back to back wins against Minnesota
and Sacramento. Of course, there was the James Harden trade.
They got rid of hard and I think this line
indicates to me that people are down on the Clippers
since they traded Harden. I don't think that's as big
of a loss as some might feel it is. In fact,
they're four and two straight up without Harden in twenty
twenty six. They're nineteen and six in their last twenty
five games overall. They've split the season series with Houston
this year, the one loss at Houston by a score
of one point fifteen to one thirteen. Kawhi Leonard has
averaged thirty two and a half points, eight and a
half rebounds, and four and a half assists in the
two games against the Rockets, and he's averaging over thirty
points per game in his last five games overall. Yes,
the Rockets are the better team. They have the better record.
They're thirty two and nineteen at home, seventeen and six, sorry,
thirty two and nineteen overall, seventeen and six at home,
fourth in the West. They're coming off a one to
twelve one OZH six win over Oklahoma City, but again,
that was an Oklahoma City team without three of its
top four scores, and the Rockets are just three and
seven against the spread in their last ten games. They
haven't won a game by seven or more than seven
points in their last seven games. Overall, to me, this
looks like a game that should be closer than eight points.
The Clippers have been playing awfully well lately, and even
though they don't have James Harden anymore, I believe the
Clippers can compete in this game. I'll take the points
with the La Clippers.
Speaker 1: We're fading the Houston Rockets, Jesse Schule. Not afraid fade Houston,
he says. And comment below before the game goes, and
let us know if you're agreeing or disagreeing with our man, Jesse. Jesse,
we talked about these great deals that are going obviously
five dollars Tuesday one of my favorite days simply because
folks who typically wouldn't try us out. Maybe you got
five dollars laying around, you grab one of these guys
featured plays. What do you have up and if folks
are adept buying with that great deal that you can
get six days of all action for just the price
of three, what do they have coming towards this weekend?
Speaker 5: As well, brother, all right, Well, I do have a
play in the Big ten, my Big ten best bet
for five bucks tonight. I'll have steady NBA props and
sides and totals moving forward. And now that football season's over,
and I've been doing pretty damn well with my money
line picks here at Wader Talk since I joined Wade
Your Talk, I am a number one with money line plays,
up one hundred and sixty nine units since twenty twenty two.
With my money line sides NBA. I'm not the best.

he was number one with I think five percent NBA.
But steady winning, And I'll give you the numbers. Up
seventeen units with NBA in twenty twenty six, up forty
three units with NBA since twenty twenty four, sixty nine
units since twenty twenty two, and eighty four units since
twenty twenty one. You can't buy a Lamborghini with those profits,
but you can have a pretty good weekend. And if
anybody wants to have a pretty good weekend, join me.
Speaker 1: I love it. That's Jesse the Future and the money
line Shool always a pleasure buddy, good luck with your
action night, Willie, will see you next week. Thanks, Jess,

so just keep those comments coming.
Speaker 2: Then, why have already done a promo code? Why have
we done a promo code?
Speaker 1: Hey thirty, Hey, hold thirty. Hey, I know Johnny's in

Please hit that subscribe button tell your friends to do
the same. We're looking to get half a million subscribers
is the goal for us here. As we head on
out of football season into what people call the slower
time of year. Trust me, folks, wager Talk today ain't
slowing down. You're gonna want to be the subscribed as
we move forward here, so a whole three. It's a
trio of you guys. Not a bad idea there. Not
a bad idea there that only gives out curling plays.
Maybe we'll see.
Speaker 3: We'll see for you, Kierra, I appreciate you tuning in.
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in the pen. Ralph. Michael's joining
the show.
Speaker 3: Oh he's got this, Ralph, where were you last night?
Speaker 1: You got all those singles?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, Dan, you had said, you know, for
those smaller betters that only want to pay for a
five dollars play at wager Talk on Tuesday, Well, guess what,
I'm very excited that we are now offering seven dollars
plays every day of the year moving forward at sports Memo.
And it's not only wager Talk people, it's all the
cappers on all the wager talk sites. They're allowed to
load one client play for seven dollars each and every day.
It's a great way to try someone if you're not
a bigger, better and you want to try some short
term or smaller price packages. Make sure you check out
sportsmemo dot com.
Speaker 1: I love that, Ralph sportsmemo dot com seven dollars plays,
and we love this five dollars Tuesday. That's now seven
dollars every single day. And one thing that I'll say,
because maybe folks who are tuning in, they say, oh,
you're buying a play, what do you really get? You know,
it's not just hey, here's what I'm betting and they
tell you, hey, good luck with it. There's analysis, you know,
when you're buying from a guy like Ralph, a guy
who you know likes going into databases. That's not the
sole base of his handicap, but there's some things that
you can do that arm yourself and you learn the
guy's handicapping style. So you could say, maybe this is
a guy who I like, a spot guy, or maybe
it's a guy that you like that's a trend guy.
You get to try these folks out and find out
how they arrive to the plays that they find, and
it's their livelihood, folks, so you know that they find
a method that works for them, and maybe it works
for you too, Right, Ralph.
Speaker 7: You know what I was going through the comments.
Speaker 6: I think it was on this show for yesterday and
someone said, oh, they're just going to throw up a
one percent.
Speaker 7: Guys.
Speaker 6: The rule is this, if any of our campers load
to play at Sports Memo, it has to be an
actual client play at wager Talk or on their main site.
So these are not people just adding plays to try
to get a seven dollars sale. These are actual client
plays that they're betting and each and every one of
their all access clients gets. So it takes these seven
dollars plays to an entirely different level.
Speaker 1: I love it, man, absolutely love it. Ralph. So that's Ralph.
Michael's check them out wd Dot Buzz backslash r M.
But Ralph, we've got some action to get to here,
my friend, let's talk some of these college basketball games
on the card at for today. It's a huge slate
and some actually really good matchups. When you're running down
the board here, we'll kick it off with you. We
got you NC and Miami. We're seeing the short road
favorite here for the tar Heels. You know, pretty much
a standard total that we're looking at here, Ralph, how
are you looking to attack this game? Well?
Speaker 7: Number one I'm gonna guess this.
Speaker 6: Most people would probably come on this show and say,
I absolutely have to fade North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Why.
Speaker 6: Well, if you look at Hubert Davis's quotes, it's pretty
eye opening.
Speaker 7: You know, after they.
Speaker 6: Beat number After they beat number four Duke and came
from behind at home, Davis said, I am a bit
numb after that dramatic win, and he.
Speaker 7: Goes, some of my players are as well.
Speaker 6: So you're at home, you're a home dog, you're pull
an upset against an AP top five team. What happens
the next game, Well, that's why we go to the database.
Conference home dogs that beat an AP top five team
have gone forty nine and twenty eight sixty four percent
against the spread. And if that team one is a
conference home dog against an AP top five team and
you think now they have to travel, maybe it's a
fade situation. Not so fast, twenty eight and sixteen sixty
four percent against the spread. So again, if you're at
a bar talking, there's people that are gonna say this
is a flat spot. Make sure you know the actual
numbers before you speak. Without knowing what the data is
on the season. North Carolina now nineteen and four straight
up against the number fifty seven schedule. In ACC action,
there's seven to three against the number fourteenth schedule, so
they've played a week ACC schedule. But Miami is eighteen
and five. Their strength of schedule is number one nineteen
and while they're seven and three in the ACC, they
have played the eighteenth schedule. Yes, there are eighteen teams
in the ACC, so Miami has played the weakest schedule.
Speaker 7: That is a concern for me.
Speaker 6: In conference offense and defense rankings, these are conference only stats.
North Carolina number one on offense, number fourteen on defense.
That has you thinking overs Miami seven on offense, seven
on defense.
Speaker 7: Middle of the road for both.
Speaker 6: Now, Miami has missed a very important piece the last
couple games. They lost to Cal at home, they went
to Boston College, they struggled, and that is because True Washington,
their point guard and shooting guard, has missed the last
two games. He is still listed as game time decision,
so he's a big part of this puzzle. If you
tune in and he's not playing, that makes my upcoming
North Carolina lean even stronger. At home, Miami only one
in seven against the spread with five straight ATS losses.
No North Carolina's ATS numbers are in between. They're nine
to five ATS at home, but as a big favorite
or a big dog, they're four to zero against the
spread when they are playing conference games between the sevens,
so plus seven to minus seven. Against conference teams both
home and away, they're zero to five against the spread.
Failing to cover by ten point three points per game.
That's significant if you fail to cover by one or
two points. It depends on it the last shot, when
in or out. When you're failing to cover by double digits,
that's a trend you want to pay attention to. We
look at again, we look at North Carolina. They are
a balanced, balanced team. Of course, they are young. We
saw this team struggle early. You have a freshman point
guard in Dixon, you have a freshman power forward in Wilson.
You have a sophomore Powell who's playing important minutes. And
that's why early in the season they lost to Michigan
State in a neutral setting. They lost to SMU on
the road, They lost to Stanford on the road, They
lost to cal on the road. Now that we're in
the heart of the AC season, we saw them to
go to Virginia and get a f point win. We
saw him going to Georgia Tech and win by sixteen.
I think the maturation process has started. Yes, that Duke
win certainly helps these young freshmen to go.
Speaker 7: To Miami and win this game.
Speaker 1: So I will do this.
Speaker 6: Miami is three and six against elite offenses or bad defenses,
with a high total of one point fifty two a higher.
But both covers were against teams as a twenty point favorite.
The other cover was on the road when they're playing
a very good offense, they struggle. I think North Carolina
does get this done. They get the win, and this
young team gets even better after knocking off the Hurricanes.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: Ralph Michaels and people who have been paying attention.
Speaker 1: Yes, Frank was seeing the shirt color revealing the pick there, Ralph,
so you knew that UNC. You were coming on here
to talk UNC. So the the outfit matched the way
we were.
Speaker 7: I am not that not that smart guys. Do not
give me credit.
Speaker 1: I math Ralph michael Zay before we got Wisconsin and Illinois.
That's a much bigger spread. First, I want you to
just let folks know what you have rocket here tonight.
You mentioned the seven dollars plays at Sports Memo. We
got five dollars Tuesday, and I'd be remiss. You know,
we're talking about this just daily action, you know, six
days action for just the price of three. Ralph, this
is a great time to hop in here. I knows
football is done, folks, but the the you know, the
grind don't stop just because NFL has turned the page.
Speaker 6: Right, Ralph, absolutely, you know I only have one play today,
college basketball. Great college basketball run overall eight and two.
The last ten plays eighty percent thirty one and fourteen,
My last forty five plays sixty nine percent. My college
basketball on A thirty and thirteen run seventy percent, with
college basketball bets bets fourteen and five seventy four percent.
Speaker 3: I do want to mention to all our viewers.
Speaker 1: My play is.
Speaker 6: Only available at wager Talk today for the five dollars.
Why you don't have to worry about going to Sports
Memo and saying I want to buy someone's top play.
The top play of any camper has to be loaded
at wager Talk. So if you get to Sports Memo today,
you won't find me there. Only cappers with multiple plays
get listed there. So just FYI doesn't mean you can't
go look at sports memo but my play. Again, I
only have one play today. Therefore that single play is
always loaded at your home site. That of course WT
buzz backslash RM my shortcut to wagertalk dot com.
Speaker 1: Love it. Ralph Michaels, all right, you got one game
that was much closer one and a half point spreads.
Let's talk Wisconsin and the fighting line. I we're seeing
Illinois pretty much painted on my odd logic screen. We're
seeing ten and a half. You think this is a.
Speaker 3: Rightful double digit favorite here, Ralph? How are you breaking
this one down?
Speaker 6: Well, you look at Illinois and really you're trying to
handicap the mental aspect of Illinois in this game. They're
all the loss. They were eleven and two in the
Big Ten. They were at Michigan State, they lost in overtime.
And you want to talk about a coach that went ballistic,
Brad Underwood. After the game they were taking the ball out,
Miami had a fall and he said there was at
least four legitimate falls that Miami was trying to follow
their point guard. They called none of them, and then
they called a fall on Illinois player. Miami makes two
free throws, then they call a cheap fall in Illinois,
Miami gets two free throws. Excuse me, Michigan State gets
two free throws to beat him in overtime eighty five,
eighty two. You look at Wisconsin, Wisconsin had you know,
excuse me, guys, I miss spoke there. The Wisconsin situation
was the one where they followed late and they had
Gary Gard so upset in the seventy eight seventy seven
lost to Indiana. So my apologies on that, but listen
to this. When a team, when both teams are often
overtime loss, since twenty twelve, it's only happened fifteen times.
That's the situation we have here. We have two conference opponents,
both off and overtime loss. FYI the home favored in
that role of two or more like Illinois twelve and
three against the spread eighty percent, Wisconsin sixteen and seven
versus the number fifty two schedule. In the Big Ten,
they're eight and four versus the number fourteen schedule. So again,
a week's slate of schedules, Illinois twenty and four versus
the number fifteen schedule eleven and two in the Big Ten,
a week schedule again versus number twelve. Illinois is number
six and eleven conference stats, Indiana one and four and
both offense and defense. But don't this Wisconsin team has
played much better. I'll tell you guys one trick I
like doing. Barktorvik dot com is a free site. It's
very similar to ken Palm, but you could put ranges
or dates in there to find out how well teams
are playing of late. If you go back to January
fifth and Monday after the new year, these two offenses
are number one and number five in the country inefficiency rankings.
Speaker 7: Wisconsin guards have played very well.
Speaker 6: They're not they don't like physical play in Illinois's physical
That's why I'm going to be leading on Illinois. But
this wisconsint team started the season zero to two ats
on the road. They have covered four straight road games
by twelve points per game. The reason why I'm leading
with Illinois is this awful loss. They have rebounded. They
are three and zero and they have dominated also holding
those three opponents to very low scores and very low shooting.
It together, and you look at these teams coming back
home often away loss. Yes, Wisconsin, the offense has become elite,
but their defense is not what we're accustomed to.
Speaker 7: It's top sixty, but just barely in that range. And
I think Illinois can pull away in this game late.
This is just a light lean for me.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 7: You know the other play is a lot stronger for me.
Speaker 6: But I cannot bet on either team because it's very
difficult to not if you don't know how the locker
room feels. Both teams think they deserve those wins on
the road. Both teams now had to travel Wisconsin playing
a second straight road game, Illinois traveling back home after
that Saturday game, both teams playing on short rest. But again,
all of that does have me with Illinois. Illinois has
a deeper bench and the quality depth in their five, six,
and sevens clearly outrank what Wisconsin does.
Speaker 1: Love it and just the lean to ARD's the big
favorite there, which is why Ralph of course is not
wearing an orange. Sure, it's just lean there on Illinois.
Ralph always a pleasure man. Thanks for coming on, best
of luck with your plays and we'll see you next week, buddy.
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Ralph Michael's wt Doup buzz backslash Folks, if you're liking
the show here, still got some free plays to come.
Andy's gonna go over some NBA streaks. Are they live
or are they unsustainable? We're gonna do that in just
a second. But while you're hanging out with us, hit
that like button and subscribe you're watching on the rewatch
comment below and let us know which games you're betting on.
We'll be chatting with you up until game time. And
if you're just joining us, reminder we're on Johns Hopkins
this evening, four o'clock Johns Hopkins two and a half
point favorites over at the Green Book.
Speaker 3: I still like it at three and a half if
that's all you can get.
Speaker 1: But just reminding you, lacrosse play and Andy's got one
loaded WT up buzz backslash al both of those plays up.
What's the other one?
Speaker 3: We don't have to go there to find out. But Andy,
let's talk some of these streaks, buddy.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, now that we're now that we're done with
football season, we're going to dive here into some NBA
And there's a free tool here that I want to
go over and show you guys to way to look
at some streaks that are unsustainable and how you can
figure out when a team is over or underperforming. So
this is ev Analytics. It's free. Just create a log
in and it's got all kinds of filters that you
can look at last ten games home away. So here's
what I like to do with them. I like to
look see what teams are just performing way over their skis.
There's an Olympic reference for you, So there's a Yeah,
there's a couple of perfect examples today, and they have
first half spreads, first half totals, first quarters, they have
everything here. So I like to go to the spreads
and I like to look and see at the last
ten who's performing way above their season average. And we
have a perfect candidate this year. The New York Knicks
are nine and one ATS in their last ten games. Dan,
for all you athletes out there, that's ninety percent that
that is unsustainable. So then I can go to how
they have done this season. And this is a team
that's twenty nine and twenty three, so a little bit
over fifty percent. So I'm looking at this and I'm going,
all right, the books are getting ready to adjust this
because the Knicks have been on fire. We're gonna see
regression to the mean. So I would look at the
Knicks moving forward to not cover some spreads. Here, there's
also one, Yeah, there's also one that's going on for totals,
and there's a team that is on the same nine
and one streak on the under, and that is the
Boston Celtics. They are one and nine to the under.
I would say ninety percent is fairly unsustainable in this aspect.
And we can also look, now this team is an
under team this year nineteen and thirty four, but it's
still way way above this average. So if you're looking
for a tool to try and figure out, hey, who's
hitting this ninety percent mark and when are we gonna
start coming back to earth, I would say the Knicks
against the spread. Now they're playing the Pacers tonight, so
good luck with that. But then the Boston then the
Boston Celtics nine and one to the under, and you,
I mean, you can do this all day. You can
go to the first half spreads, the first half totals,
you can go to home and way, you can go
to just about everything that they have on here. So
that's a pretty good tool here.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that is free Andy. I love it because
essentially what you're you're looking to do here, and this
is something that, like Andy said, we'll dive into this
just to give you guys some thoughts on maybe how
to hop in or hop off some of these hot streaks.
But essentially the breakdown there is this is a team
who has been right around Yeah, the complex matter get
getting the ninety percent right off the top of the head.
That's why Andy gets paid the big bucks here. But
but Andy like it makes a hell of a lot
of sense because a team who's performing right around average
right have been an average team who is currently on
a hot streak.
Speaker 3: Folks are riding that, you know, folks are betting that.
Speaker 1: Now you don't want to, as Steve Merrill says, catch
the falling knife or anything like that. But as adjustments
come from the sports book naturally to kind of balance
out some of that action and also with the you know,
recency bias we know gets baked into the line. It's
just the nature of the beast here, you know, looking
at how a team has performed year over year, much
more indicator, as we know, the bigger sample size we have,
the more predictive we currently you know, believe that to
be The only time that I would maybe say, Andy
that this would be a difference maker is if it's
right around a big trade that happened or a big
injury that happened, you know what I mean. That's where
you have to take those numbers with maybe a grain
of salt, because what is the reasoning behind this big explosion?
Speaker 3: Is it just variance or was it a big change
that happened to one of these teams. So yet you
can't just look at those numbers and worship at the
altar of it. You have to take it and pair
it with maybe you know, diving into these leagues a
little bit more.
Speaker 1: But I love that info, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a filter. It's something to look at, say, hey,
I really liked the knicks to cover the spread? Go
got man nine and one? Is that like, is that
a sign that they're on a massive run against the spread?
And is that coming back to earth? And I will
tell you I see props that go on much bigger
runs than ats.
Speaker 1: The books.
Speaker 2: The books will adjust the the the ats and the
over unders when they see like at the end of
the year, if when we go look at over unders
and NB, I'd be stunned if there was a team
that was over sixty two percent, like like for the season.
They're pretty quick to adjust those. I know Phoenix has
been a really good ats against the spread and Boston
pretty good under. But yeah, that's free tool for everybody
that's out there.
Speaker 1: So Andy, real quick before we go all around the
world here. So this past year, Andy was barf and
I was the dude Jay and Silent Bob. Maybe in
our future here, Andy, fifteen bucks, little man, put that
ship in my hand.
Speaker 3: If that money doesn't show you owe me ow me. Oh,
that could be in our future.
Speaker 1: Andy.
Speaker 2: See what was nice about our costumes this year is
they were really funny together on screen. But then we
could just go our separate ways.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's like if you're just Silent Bob, if
you're just Jay and Andy living in Indiana and me
and Pennsylvania, we're probably not going to be at the
same Halloween party. I guess we could FaceTime each other,
well at least lift and we could do it. We can,
we can do it just yeah, let's strap it to
your chest. Uh, but we we could do it just
for the show potentially, but we we have a lot
of time, folks. It's it's February tenth. We'll we'll, we'll
have something for you cooked up come come Halloween. But
we got a hell of a lot to do before then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even Valentine's Day. We have enough time
to plan in our Halloween schedule. So six days for
the price of three six nine dollars valentine'sd a special.
All right, let's go all around the world. Let's do
some free plays before we get out of here, right,
Nicks Pacers Jose Alvarado over seven and a half points.
I did this for free play video. We've hit four
of these in a row, and Jose Alvarado gets a
great chance tonight. The Knicks play the seventy six Ers tomorrow.
This is a big spread, the Knicks playing the Pacers,
and again the Pacers top three team that do not
want to win. Do not be surprised if Alvarado plays
a lot in the fourth quarter. First game with the Knicks,
he had twelve points. A lot of that production was
in the fourth quarter in a blowout. And this is
an Alverado that's gonna play minutes in the playoffs. He's
gonna need to get reps in minutes with his teammates
and the Knicks first leg of a back to back.
Don't be surprised if Alvarado plays a lot goes over
seven and a half. This comes from Ben Burns off
of our free picks page over at wager Talk Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Milwaukee over IU Indianapolis. Wisconsin very much underachieved according
to the power rankings nine and seventeen this season IU
seven and eighteen. That was expected because of the terrible
season that was Konslwaukee's been having. You're getting just a
straight money line at minus one ten. Dan Wisconsin has
won ten straight against IU Indianapolis, So this is this
is kind of a no brainer here, and then we'll
do golf here. We got the Pebble Beach Pro Am
Scottie Scheffler top five including ties. Danny's finished first and
third this year going back to last season, eight straight
top five finishes, and Dan he was like, I think
he was four shots out of the outside the cut

the top three. So we're gonna go over a lot

So it was one of those where everything was looking good.
There was no reason to push it, and I missed

down every single day, that would have been an easy cash.
So I left money on the table. But we are
never going to complain about a winning week in a
certain sport. So we'll have We'll have a bunch of
plays this week, including a four percent live play, which
