get started with Gianny. You guys know what to do.
Hit that like button subscribe to the channel. Jiohnny. Good morning,
Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Sir mo Man, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1: First off, Yeah, first off, I need you to back
me up up here. After you left, people were mad
that there wasn't this big expansive Steam Report, and I
was trying to tell everyone just some days there's not
a lot of action going on and that's fine. We
don't want to force anything, so you know, just just
reiterate to everyone, Hey, sometimes there's going to be a
lot of action and sometimes there's not, and that's okay.
It's just part of the business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. And sometimes you know, we're covering other
things and going deep into some topics and you don't
get to everything. But there wasn't all that much going on.
It's not like they missed out. There's a bunch of
cappers coming on sharing a bunch of great information. So
you know, there's stuff every day to share. Nothing to
get upset about if one day you don't get a
lot of plays or no plays.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, where's the money going at today?
I'm sure it's all MLB.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do something just to make it up for
my man, what shout outs the block and for Andy,
because they shouldn't have give you shit for that. That's
not your fault. I could have yelled out the plays.
And what's crazy is yesterday there was a ton of bump,
but that doesn't that that was the past.
Speaker 2: Today's today. So here's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a four percent play that I
just sent out two subscribers in tennis. That's an underdog, Okay,
I'm gonna give you a plus one thirty dog. I
just bet at plus one thirty. And uh, here's what
I took. I told Gail Mon Phils, Gail Mon Phils
over Martin Fox Zovis Martin Foxsovis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where uh fuc s Obi? YESU.
Speaker 1: Careful with that, careful, careful with the pronunciation of the U.
Uh g audience a f A family show. I think
it's Foo. We'll go with Fukshovic.
Speaker 3: We'll go with yeah, Fuksovic, Buksovix where fading Fuksovix.
Speaker 2: We're on Gale Mond Phils.
Speaker 3: Good down the plus one tw probably good down to
plus one ten, as long as you're getting plus money.
I sent that out to subscribers probably five minutes before
I jumped on here.
Speaker 2: So that should uh cover yesterday's.
Speaker 3: Because again, when I give it out in the morning,
isn't confirmation isn't always isn't premium plays just some of
the stuff that we moved early that I'm looking to,
you know, try to confirm throughout the day, but this
has already been released A four percent play on Gail
mon Phil's I believe that's for tomorrow early in the morning,
so you don't want to miss it if you agree.
Piggyback that also want to tell you yesterday. Yesterday they
bet a series bet series bet on Colorado plus two
thirty five to win their series. Okay, they're down one nothing, right,
they lost to Houston yesterday, So for these guys to
cash that series bet, that means Colorado's got to win
today and what win tomorrow as well? They playing, So
there's just some information to use it how you wish.
But like I said, they took Colorado plus two thirty
five to win the series against Houston and they're down
one nothing, so take that as you will. The home
team Colorado bet to win that series. A couple other
plays for you two sides two totals early nine to
fifty six, New York Mets at plus one oh five,
nine to sixty Tampa Chalky minus one eighty five two
totals early early early Philly, San Diego over nine minus
one thirty even saw some over nine and a half
as well.
Speaker 2: They like that over in the Philly, San Diego.
Speaker 3: That's opposite the public who's betting that game under heavy
under money from the public. Wise guys outweigh that risk
by going over. And finally Yankees Toronto also over eight
and a half up to minus one thirty. So that's
Mets in Tampa and then over in San Diego. Over
in the Yankees Colorado the series, and of course Gail
Monfils and I know in about forty minutes, I'm gonna
get this group from Canada that bets a bunch of baseball.
Speaker 2: They're gonna fire their baseball.
Speaker 3: Hopefully it confirms on some of this stuff or some
of the leans I have lined up from last night.
Speaker 1: That's a curious bet on the on the Rockies. Did
they did they take that before the series started or
did they take that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, so they took it before the series yesterday.
Speaker 2: Right right before Game one, and.
Speaker 3: That was a close game. I mean they lost that
game by a run, and they took Colorado to win
that series. And Houston, I mean they jumped on I
think they yeah, I see now they were up like
six to one until Colorado came storming back, but just
couldn't get it done in the ninth. But yeah, they
took him plus two thirty five to win that series.
Like I said, they're down one number. Last week we
had that same scenario where they had bet Atlanta to
win their series and I think maybe Toronto to win
their series Atlanta did I believe or one of them
did one of didn't. They were down like one game,
same kind of situation, and I kind of used that
information that way, like if I like Colorado today, if
I dig into the game, I'm liking Colorado, that for
me almost signals of confirmation like they like them for
the series. I'm kind of down one game. If anything,
that gives me a little more confidence. But again that's
that's pending. I like Colorado in this matchup today against Houston,
and so far, I mean I don't I don't hate
them in this matchup, but they're going up against a
tough pitcher.
Speaker 2: In Brown today, that's for sure, you know.
Speaker 3: And if anything, this is probably the time to take
Colorado fading that that stud pitcher coming off of Stud game.
You know, is he going to regress coming off those
seven innings no earn runs, only three hits? I think,
so yeah, I like Colorado or pass today. I almost
poking myself on in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Bit nice. Yeah, Titans brings up the Phillies and the Mets.
They're on double head today. I just wanted to verify
those are the early games.
Speaker 2: Early games early?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that the nine to fifty three San Diego
Philly over and same thing with with the Mets game
the Mets was no. Nine to fifty six. That was
four pm this time, so one pm more time. Yeah,
that was the early game in the Mets too.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, it looks like it looks like it,
and that's that's interesting. I haven't heard much talk about
SERI series bets in baseball. Do you do many of those?
I can't say I've dabbled in series bets in MLB.
Speaker 3: Yeah myself, I don't, you know, I don't. I don't
look that far ahead. I love when I see them
in the accounts from the betting syndicates, because obviously they are,
you know, looking at at the three pitching matchups, you
pretty much know who's going to go, and they're more
or less handicapping the entire series. I kind of like
those because it also sets you up for possible hedges,
you know what I mean. You go up to nothing
or even if it's one oneted in that third game,
there's a lot of opportunities. So I like those series bets,
but they're very selective, very selective. I mean, we might
have placed you know, five of them, six of them
so far in the first half of you know, Major
League Baseball season, So they're very selective with those, but
they do come in on occasion, usually do well with
the series bets. Well, I'm interested to see how this
Colorado plays out.
Speaker 1: Are they all dogs?
Speaker 2: Usually almost always dogs? Almost always dogs?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, makes sense, makes sense. Let's see any steam
report on the Hot Dog Eating Contest?
Speaker 3: Uh No, And I get good information on that, man.
I think we've met like the last three or four thoughs.
I got this guy does very well on them, and
as soon as he sends me anything, I'll put that
out for sure. Hot dog Eating Contest has been good
for us, mostly on the female side, young Asian chicks.
He's been coming through for us, I think, like the
back to back years. Yeah, ever since I got this
one text from somebody that was like, we won't even
talk about that, but it was kind of inside information,
and since then we've done pretty good with the hot
Dog game contest. So if I get anything like that,
those kind of bets I love the most because anybody
that has information that wants to bet something.
Speaker 2: Like that, they usually have a really good in, like
something back in it. Kind of like the national anthem
in the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: There's usually that early money that knows exactly how long
the practice has gone and stuff like that, and they're
able to take advantage of it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it kind of compared to that.
Speaker 1: We've done well with it as well. I'll just tell
you we're looking at the under. They got the under
seventy six for how many hot dogs Joey chest that'll
take take the under. He's not going to need to
get to that many to win this contract. The under
has been a cash cow the last couple of years
because everyone ex again, it's kind of like anything else,
everyone wants to see the over. No, the value is
always in the under. They put the numbers so high.
There was also something us about the weather, like if
it's if it's like really hot, it's just it's too
hard to eat, more like you almost need the temperature
wow to come down. Yeah, there's like a real thing
about if it's too hot. Your The body just can't
absorb as much as when it's a little bit cooler.
So there are absolutely wasts to make money off off
of those things. So we will absolutely have bets on
the hot dog eating contest, no question. There's value out
there and there's there's a way to make money off
of it.
Speaker 2: Don't matter exactly, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: We'll find it. We'll find it absolutely. So, Uh, let's
see what do you have up for clients today.
Speaker 3: Package will be up with baseball when in the next
thirty minutes. Like I said, I just wait till that
one group from up north fires. They helped confirm.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 3: Usually rarely do I have a package up before I
finished this, unless we really got involved early on. But
like I said, today's a little bit slower than it
was yesterday, so we're gonna wait to see what they fire.
I'll have that package up within the hour for sure.
And yeah, just grind away, baby, just keep grinding, grinding, grinding,
know UFC. But I do think there's a PFL this weekend,
so I think I'm gonna dig.
Speaker 2: Into that a little bit tonight. See if there's any
other m M A weekend I'll work on.
Speaker 1: All right, Giohnny the Greek Everyone, thank you so much,
appreciate your time. Good luck and we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Good luck today boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just reminder, we're gonna be off on Friday, July fourth.
We're we're all gonna be taking the day off and
enjoying the festivities. So last show of the week will
be tomorrow. Titan says, I ain't betting on hot dogs.
Listen for me. Money's money. Our job is to try
try and make money off of this crazy business, and
that's what we'll do. I get it. It's not for everybody,
but if we can find our spots, we absolutely will.
Nothing but love Titans. I get it. It could be
a little odd sometimes. So let's see here, let's you
know what, let's do all around the world. Here, we
got a couple of free plays here, so we'll go
to the MLB. These are plays from the we just
talked free picks page. So Dan, let's go to the
Twins and the Marlins. Let's take a look at the
over four and a half in the first five innings.
We've got two pitchers that we're looking at. Fading Junk
that's his name. Era of five point four to three
in his career, Richardson four point four to two era
and the career. So we're looking at a nice over
and we're fading the we're fading the starting pitching. We
don't want the bullpens involved, so we're just gonna take
the over for both teams. First five innings. Let's go
to the Brewers at the Mets Brewers money line first
five innings. Mets have lost thirteen of sixteen. They got
swept by the Pirates. Praulta's pitching for Milwaukee today, Clay
Holmes pitching for the Mets. Big, big pitching advantage for
the Brewers. So we're not gonna want the bullpens involved
in this one. We just want to take advantage of
the starting pitching matchup, So Burs and Mets first five innings.
Will take a look at the Brewers. All right, Let's
bring in Ross Benjamin here real quick, and let's talk
about the Royals and the Mariners. Ross the Boss looking
great today? How are you very good?
Speaker 4: Thank you always a pleasure, buddy.
Speaker 1: How's everything going? I see you've been pretty hot on
some of these plays that you've been tasting, so life's
got to be pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, life is good. You know the free picks. I
can't do anything wrong on wager Talk TV. The combination
of my solo videos and my appearances here on wager
Talk today twenty seven and three with my last thirty
and forty four and ten with my last fifty four folks,
I know that sounds unbelievable, and I know if somebody
told me that's what they were over that course of time,
or had those records or those streaks, whatever way you
want to phrase it, I would certainly want information. And
you could do that by feel free to go to
my page over at wager talk take TV and go
to the archives. It will back it up the tape.
Don't lie as they say. And also premium picks on
a nice run to uh fifty seven and excuse me,
fifty six and thirty seven with my last ninety three
sixty up thirty nine units Andy, So a lot of
things clicking right now.
Speaker 1: Love it, love it well, let's talk. Yes, this is
the featured game of the day, Ross featured game.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: Fature the day. Oh again, all right, we're gonna go.
We're gonna go with the Twins and the Marlins as
the featured game of the day, and Ross, we want
to bring in. This is not the game that that
you that we assigned you to pick, but we're gonna
ask for your opinion. Here's how the game works after
the show, leaving the comments section the winner of the
Marlins and the Twins and the EXAs score. So, Ross,
I'm gonna give you a chance to put your pick in.
If you get it exactly right, we'll pick someone from
the comment section to give away some swag. But everyone
listening and everyone watching post in the comment section who
you think is gonna win this game? What's the final score?
Winner gets some free swag. So Ross on the spot.
Twins Marlins? What do you think?
Speaker 4: Well, I think that will see a high scoring game
today after yesterday. Miami's been really good of late, especially offensively.
So I am going to take the money line home
underdog here Miami Marlins, and I like a five to
four final score.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, There you go. Ross is
locked in. All right, everyone that's watching, make sure you
post in the comment section below who you think is
gonna win with the Twins and Marlins. You got Ross's
free pick there. Now, Ross, let's talk your game. We're
gonna talk a little bit here about the Royals and
the Mariners. We got Cameron going for the Royals, Gilbert
for the they split the first two games of the series.
We've got Seattle's a pretty big favor here. Minus win
eighty five and an over under a seven. That's a
really low total. But I do get it. These guys
have actually been good. Their eras are good. Records probably
don't reflect how good they've pitched. How do you break
down this game, Well, you hit.
Speaker 4: It right on the nose. You know their records overall records.
You would say, well, how could this total be so
low with these two starting pitchers and their season long
performance lines? But I mean you look at Logan Gilbert
and you look at Noah Cameron Jackal and Hyde home
and away splits for both pitchers. Gilbert's been very good
at home this year, not so good on the road.
Noah Cameron superb on the road and very shaky at home.
Noah Cameron four road starts this year, a one to
eleven ERA and ninety five whip, averaging six point one
innings pitch per start. And keep this in mind, folks,
because I am gonna eliminate both bullpens out of this equation.
I just don't trust either bullpen with a total this low.
So Noah Cameron four and oh to the under on
the road this year as a first five against the
first five inning total, Seattle has played fourteen to seven
and one to the under this year when facing left
handed starting pitchers like Noah Cameron in Kansas City. Five
and oh to the under this year on the road
if the total is seven and a half or less
and they're coming off and over in their previous game,
and both of the first two games of the series
went over to total, and as a matter of fact,
in that five and oh under in that exact situation,
Noah Cameron was a starter for Kansas City in two
of those five games. Logan Gilbert has historically pitched good
at home over the last two seasons. He's now seventeen
and four two the under in his home team starts
and gilbert six starts at home this year a two
thirty five era a microscopic zero sixty two with but
the one thing that stands out in those six home
starts is his average of only five point one innings
pitch per start and Gilbert is five and one to
the under as a first five inning total at home
this year. So again, that's why we're shortening this game
to five innings. And you know, with all that being said,
neither team is really lighting it up offensively right now.
Andy Kansas City three point one runs per game scored
in the last seven, only two home runs, hitting two
twenty six as a team over that course of time. Seattle,
on the other hand, over their last seven not much
better at three point six runs score per game and
only fourteen extra base hits four the Mariners over their
last seven games. So, like I said, I don't think
either is terrible, but I don't trust them enough with
a total this low, and I'm going to rely on
both starting pitchers to give us a good five innings
each in this game. And we're gonna go with the
Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners under the first five
inning total of three and a half. Uh So, there
you have it, folks, And that's at plus money, I
believe too, plus one oh five if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: Nice. Nice, Yeah, it's a low total, and you always
get nervous when they get like one runner on base,
But yeah, this said, the offensive Kansas City has just
been completely anemic.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, you know, you know what, Andy,
I think I recall you saying about low totals, and
maybe it was somebody else, but you know, if you
get a total of six and a half or less,
people are so inclined to go over to total. It
doesn't apply here, but just for the sake of conversation,
you'll find it if you did a history search on
totals of six and a half or less. In Major
League Baseball, more times than not the game goes under.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the line is low for a reason, like, yeah,
the books are putting out very low lines because they
don't expect there to be a lot. So sometimes the
line can absolutely tell you a story, and it goes
it goes the other way. I mean, there's every year
there's stats about like the highest NFL total the over hits,
you know, the highest NFL total every week hits like
sixty of the time. So yeah, absolutely, what do you
have up for clients today, Ross, I will.
Speaker 4: Have some baseball won possibly two picks in Major League
Baseball up in the next hour or so. Again, I
did not have anything in the early portion to card, folks,
I am not a guy that posts a day early
in Major League Baseball. For the most part, there are
there are exceptions to the rule, like I did have
the total yesterday that I had up was up on
Monday night and at won. But you know, for the
most part, you're not going to get real early postings
for me on the premium picks. My Major League Baseball
premium picks forty one and twenty eight last sixty nine
up close to twenty five units. Like I said earlier,
all sports run fifty six and thirty seven sixty percent
plus thirty nine units since May the thirteenth, So we're
going on a two month run there. College football just
around the corner, Andy, you know it's and people you
know sneaking up on us. And I have a great
college football annual package sale right now. It's an early
bird special. Four ninety nine will get you my entire
college football season right through the National Championship game. And
why should you consider making that investment with me? I'm
glad you asked number one in college football last year
at wager Talk and units earned and win percentage number
two in twenty twenty three. When you combine the last
two seasons in college football, I've earned the most units
at wager talk dot com, and man, there's a lot
of great handicappers there, so I'm very proud of that accomplishment.
And I finished last year in college football on a
sixty and thirty five runs sixty three percent. And then
since September thirteenth of twenty twenty three, my college football
premium picks are one, twenty five and eighty three and
a net profit of eighty five units. So a lot
to like they're in college football and to why you
should invest with me in that regard.
Speaker 1: I love how you said. I'm glad you asked before
I met my wife.
Speaker 4: She's always her timing is impeccable making a phone call
to me, so I apologize for that.
Speaker 1: For You're fine, Ross, Ross the boss, Benjamin, take advantage
of congratulations on that nice run. You've been having a
great breakdown. Let's cash all that on the first five
and continue.
Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, Andy, I promise you guys a
sleeper pick in college football, and I'll make this real short.
Arizona State. It's the Arizona State sun Devils plus ten
thousand to win the national title and over eight and
a half wins. Those are what I'm looking at right
now is sleeper picks. I especially like the over eight
and a half wins. I like Arizona State to win
the Big Twelve, which means they will be in a
college football playoff if indeed that occurs. And again I'm sorry,
so again, I think that if they make the college
football playoffs, like I'm predicting, there's gonna be an opportunity
to hedge with that plus ten thousand bets. So there
you have it.
Speaker 1: I love it plus ten I did not expect to
plus ten thousand bets. Yeah, I mean, I just think
that it's a great price for a TA. Look, they lost.
Speaker 4: Scataboo, but you look at the returning starters on that team,
and this is a team that got to the playoffs
last year, that won the Big Twelve last year. Their
schedule is soft for the most part, considering they play
in a power conference. So you know, again, I'm looking
at that plus ten thousand Andy. Look, it's a long shot,
a tremendous long shot, but I'm more banking on them
getting to the playoffs and me having the ability to
wager once or hedge once they get there.
Speaker 1: If that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely, it makes all the
sense in the world. So great stuff, Ross. We see
the coup of the Sleepers. You came with a sleeper.
That is awesome. Great work Ross the Boss, Benjamin everyone, Ross,
thank you. Can't wait to do it again next week.
Have a great fourth of ly weeks for having me
and I love Ross. Ross cracks me up. Glad you asked,
he said, all right, Today is one of the last
days to grab seven days of picks for just sixty
nine dollars. We're going to extend it out to July fourth,
less than ten dollars a day for full access every
play from the handicapper your choice. Listen, there's there's some
sports that are off this week and there's still a
ton of value out there. So pick your favorite handicapper,
get seven days for six nine dollars. And the beautiful
thing is you can use it with flex pick, so
you can pick one handicapper, then the next day you
can use another one, then you go back to another,
but you can use any handicapper that you want. You
can look at what plays they have up on the board.
I have a golf best bet that goes off tomorrow
for example, So if you're looking for a golf play,
grab that. I have an MLB team total. We cashed
our five dollars team total yesterday. You want to grab that,
you could use me today as reflex picks. Then tomorrow
you can use someone else. You can use it for
one handicapper. But it's less than ten dollars a day,
So seven days for six nine dollars. As we celebrate
fourth of July. All right, let's bring in John Murray
and listen. It is it is. It's contest season. But
like we got to start talking about these contests. They're
right around the corner, John, how are you? I'm good.
Speaker 5: The contests sign up started yesterday. Andy, it's not just
a round. It's here booths here. Are you ready for it?
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, So tell us a little bit about the
contests and then then we'll get into some some season
win totals and where some of the action is. So,
what are the most popular contests that you're running.
Speaker 5: I think the Super Contest College is going to be
really popular this year. We've never done that before. It's
a five hundred dollars buy in. It's fourteen weeks, seven
picks a week. You can have up to ten entries
and we're gonna pay out the top ten people. Never
seen a college contest in Nevada that people could make
the picks on their phone to come in here once
sign up, Maybe get a proxy service if you don't
live in Nevada, but you can submit your picks on
the mobile device all season long.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's that's new.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've never done. And then we also added a
Survivor contest this year five thousand dollars buy in Super
Contest Survivor, and we started taking sign ups for both
those yesterday. We also have the Classic Super Contest it's
been around forever, and the Super Contest Gold as well.
That's a five thousand dollars buy in winner take all.
Speaker 1: Wow, how many people you're expecting for that college that
was that was gonna be popular?
Speaker 2: It's tough to say.
Speaker 5: I mean with the five hundred dollars buy in, Like
yesterday we had guys that were coming in. They're getting
two entries, three entries, four entries. There's mean a lot
of I'm not really sure. I don't want to put
a number on it because I don't want to come
short of the number. And then you know, when I'm
talking to my bosses, I lie and I give them
a really low number that I know we're gonna get over,
you know what I mean. So I'd rather not I'd
rather not say. But I do think. I think the
college one is gonna be very popular.
Speaker 1: I really do. Under under promise, over deliver, classic strategy,
all class. Oh, we're only gonna have a couple. We'll
be lucky to to get.
Speaker 5: Well, maybe thirty or forty people in it. You know, Oh,
you know what, we got more than that the first week.
Speaker 2: I was wrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you do. It's like you said, a budget,
that's a that's a little inside baseball for you.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great, John. Are you taking any NFL
action this early on any wins or division.
Speaker 5: The super Bowl or anything on the one win total?
I keep seeing people bet is Miami under Miami. I
think it's at eight right now, and they keep betting
the Dolphins under. The Dolphins, of course made that trade
a couple of days ago where they acquired Fitzpatrick for Ramsey.
Speaker 1: But I get it.
Speaker 5: I think that division's tough. I think the Jets are
going to be better without the Aaron Rodgers distraction. Buffalo
of course will be good again. And I do think
New England looks to be as improved as any team
in the league. So Miami under eight seems to be
a sharp, sharp one. They've also bet Philadelphia under which
is pretty common when you have the defending Super Bowl champions.
That's another one that's been knocked around a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Any divisions are outright super Bowl winners or anything, or
is that pretty coop?
Speaker 5: Well, they they're mostly betting. You know, the popular team,
the forty nine ers. I know the forty nine ers
schedule sets up well for them. They had such a
bad year last year, so many guys got hurt, easier
scheduled this season. People expecting them to bounce back. I
know Perty got his big contract, I could see it.
Speaker 1: And then a team.
Speaker 5: That's really popular in the future book. They used to
be called the Redskins, then the football team. Now they're
the Commanders this season, Andy, and they are. They're very popular.
They're a team we got. We gotta see what happens
with with Daniels in his second season, but they're they're
a team that's getting a lot of action.
Speaker 1: Anything of note in MLB today on this Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, we need we need the Rays pretty big.
They're playing the former Oakland A's right now, and we're
really gonna need the Twins. And then we don't need
them yet, but I'm gonna go out on a limb
here and say that by the time the game starts
will be big White Sox fans. You know, there's nothing
really on the game right now, but I know the
way these things run. Last night we were big fans
the White Sox. We really got our money's worth there.
They came to play lost of the Dodgers, but we
pretty much need the Dodgers to lose and the Rockies
to win every day.
Speaker 1: I think I asked Art this at the beginning of
the season. It's like, do you just are you just
always rooting against the Dodgers. Yeah, yeah, wake up pretty much.
Speaker 5: I mean, like we could just it would just be
nice if the other teams could cover the run line,
We'll start there, you know. Or like if if Colorado
could cover a run line, that would be great. When
they play each other, it's just like, uh, you know,
it's all systems go. We need the Rockies huge every time.
That happens, and that happens all the time y're in
the same division.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't even think about that. Yeah,
it happens a lot more than you think.
Speaker 5: It's a tough way to get through the summer. Andy,
I'll tell you it's not an easy not an easy
job for guys with me and.
Speaker 1: Art rooting for the Rockies and rooting against the Dodgers that.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: You know, it's tough.
Speaker 2: It's tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your favorite season when total in NFL? What
is John Murray?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 5: I always I always go to that Miami one because
it makes the most sense to me. I do like
that one, and I do think the forty nine ers
are gonna bounce back. I think that they'll bounce back.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders are a little
bit better than people think. I think that they finally
have a professional coach, a professional quarterback.
Speaker 1: I like some of their.
Speaker 5: Pieces on offense. The only thing really holding me back
there is that division is so tough. That that division
is so tough, there's no reason why Denver won't be
good this season. Obviously, Kansas City is very good and
I think the world of Justin Herbert and Jim Harbost.
So there's not much room to go in that division.
But I do think the Raiders canna be better than people think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're actually gonna be breaking down the Broncos nine
and a half on their win total. I kind of
got a strong opinion on this one. You like that
you like Denver over under it that nine and a half.
Speaker 5: I just I can't like every team in the division,
you know, so I guess I'll have to say under
nine and a half. But man, they've got so many
good pieces on defense. I like Sean Payton as well.
It's just it's just a very very competitive division. Bow
Knicks was a guy I laughed when they took him
where they did last year in the draft, and after
watching him play, I have to admit that I was
wrong about that.
Speaker 2: I thought he played very well.
Speaker 5: But it's very common to see a second year quarterback
take a step back. So we'll see what happens. That
these defenses have had all off season to study the
tape on bow Knicks on Jayden Daniels, Let's see what
they look like in year two. I think that'll be
very telling.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And before we let you go, any teams
you're liking in college football this year you got high
hopes for and.
Speaker 5: I don't know you're you know, your your coworker, Kelly
and Vegas sent me this thing that had my alma mater,
West Virginia finishing last in the Big twelve, very dead last.
And you know nowadays there's like thirty teams in these conferences, right,
I had to scroll all the way down to see them.
After that, I kind of lost interest in in futures.
Speaker 1: I do uh.
Speaker 5: I will say that we've taken a lot of money
on Notre Dame here, and that surprised me a little
bit because Notre Dame is a team. They had a
dream season last year. Let's see what they can do
this year. Notre Dame they opened the year against Miami
the day before Labor Day.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't let me get back to you.
Speaker 3: On that one.
Speaker 5: I'll get back to you later this summer. With a
sleeper pick for college football, but it's part of a
sleeper in college football.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: I saw the segment before me Ross picked Arizona State.
I think at one hundred to one. But if they
get into the playoff, which they might, they're gonna be
such a big underdog against Ohio State, against Georgia, insert
whatever team you want to use there. It becomes difficult
to hedge at one hundred to one. I'm sure you could,
but it's difficult to hedge in the playoffs because these
teams are such huge dogs. Hopefully they do a better
job of the brackets this year, but I think one
of the favorites is gonna win in college football every
year of the nil.
Speaker 1: Era, absolutely absolutely, all right, So remind everyone how they
can sign up for these contests, and what contest you
have up right now.
Speaker 5: Super Contest, Super Contest that's a five thousand dollars buying
Super Contest Gold five thousand dollars buying Winner take All,
and the Super Contest College five hundred dollars buy in.
You have to come into the Westgate once sign up
and pay for your entries, but after that you can
make your picks online all season long.
Speaker 1: It's worth going to Vegas just to go go in
there once, Like, it's totally worth it. It's it's really
really awesome.
Speaker 5: It's so pleasant here in July and August too, and
to be here this time here. No, it's a good excuse.
It's a good excuse to come out here for the weekend.
Sign up for all your contests, maybe make a few
future bets, and get ready for the season.

the Rockies every day.
Speaker 1: Amazing, amazing how it works. Thanks John, appreciate it. Have
a great Wednesday and have a great Fourth of July weekend.
All right, let's bring in Dan and let's break down
the Denver Broncos. Don't forget here, guys, leave in the
comments section the final score of the Twins and the Marlins.
It can't be in the live Chat's gotta be in
the comment section after the show. Put it down in
the comment section. Who wins, what's the final score? And
the winner will get some wager talk swag. So Dan,
let's take a look here at the Denver nine and
a half. On the surface, it was a little big
seven and ten last year. Or no, no, they weren't
seven to ten last year. I got the wrong I
got the wrong team up here last year. Yeah, ten wins,
Sorry about that. I had yesterday's PFF twenty first in offense,
fourth in defense last year. This is a Sean Payton.
Just this team, screams Sean be like like like when
he picked this job. I was like, oh he picks
he picked this for a reason. Offseason moves. Loved the
signing of Evan Ingram. Yeah, Drake Greenlaw gets gets signed,
They get the safety from the forty nine ers. They
re signed DJ Jones and Yeah, they're just loading up
on defense. We'll go through the schedule. He'll here real quick.
Titans at Colts, at Chargers, Bengals at your Eagles. Then
this stretch is interesting. Jets, Giants, Cowboys at Texans, Raiders.
That's a lot of way they could pile up right there.
They get to buy. Then they get at Commanders at Raiders, Packers, Jags,
Chiefs and Chargers. It's a brutal division. I like this team.
I'm leaning towards the over on this one. I just
trust in Sean Payton. That defenses gnarly. I think Bodix
is the real deal. I like the pieces that they've
put on there for me. I think they get to ten,
possibly eleven. I was looking over my picks leading up
to I've had a lot of unders, and it's because
I've been waiting on some of these teams, like the
Denver Broncos. I'm going to be an over on this one.
I think they got I think they're gonna split with
some of these good teams like Chargers and the Chiefs,
and then I'm looking at Titans. I'm looking at Colts, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, Texans, Raiders.
Twice I think they pile up some wins. I think
they get to ten, possibly eleven. What do you think?
Speaker 7: So Andy, I thought we were going to be going
fisticuffs on this one because I too have a very
strong opinion on this team. I love the Broncos coming
into this year, and you and you heard John Murray
talking about what do we see out of some of
these quarterbacks in year two? To your point and to
his point, I don't think this team is going to
need to live and die with bow knicks in year two,
Like even if he returns to the pack here a
little bit, is it going to be that crazy if
they're still right around that same number that they were
ranked last year. Defensively is why this team over exceeded expectations,
not only in Peyton's first year, but certainly their year
last year, where they finally break an eight year playoff drought.
They break through and unfortunately they draw the Bills. No
one was going to be beating the Bills except the
Bills themselves, and we saw that play its way out.
Speaker 1: But Dude, the way that they got.
Speaker 7: The ten wins last year was largely thanks to that defense,
who I always like looking at yards per attempt that's
what That's one of the metrics that I like looking
at when I start my handicapping on what I think
about teams, how they match up against other teams. Second
best in YPA both on the ground, in the and
in the air defensively, on what they were able to
do really stifle what teams look to do offensively. So
for me, Andy, not only do I like this nine
and a half, it's a play that I bet myself
one of my strongest takes coming into the year, Andy,
and this is a hot one for sure. So drop
below in the comments, tell me what an idiot I am,
and then we can circle back when it actually comes true.
I don't think Kansas City wins the West this year.
I'm throwing down the gauntlet. I truly don't. I think
that this is finally the year. It's not just punching
bags in that division anymore. And I think you kind
of saw it a little bit last year. So you know,
plus three to fifty, I think there's some plus four
hundreds out there for Broncos. Not only do I like
them to potentially win this division, I think the Chargers
could win it too. It's not just a walk in
the Park for the Kansas City Chiefs anymore. And this
division more than any shows you that iron sharpens iron.
These teams go out of their division and give every
everybody tough games, and the reason being because they beat
the shit out of each other in division all year long.
And I'm also with John that I think the Raiders
are going to be a little bit better. So does
it seem kind of counterintuitive that I like all of
these teams in this division? No, I think that you're
splitting with your division and then you have some pretty
nice wins, you know. I look at them starting two
and l out of the gate, and then we're just
looking for Hey, where can we find another eight wins
on the schedule, And I think you can find them.
So it's a hot take for sure. I like the
Broncos over I like the Broncos to potentially win the
a f C West, ending the reign of the Kansas
City Chiefs. So Andy, you and I both pretty bullish
on the Broncos heading end of the year, and that
makes me feel pretty good because I like this team
quite a bit.
Speaker 6: Wow Wow, Yeahault, you weren't as hot as me, But
I'm glad to know that that nine and a half
doesn't scary off, I had ten and eleven wins that
that's what I kind of see on this schedule too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I see, I see ten wins there. I'm
a Sean Payton believer. I'm I'm a bow Knicks believer.
I love what they've done in the off season. It
looks like their their running back situation is gonna be strong.
So yeah, I'm with you, all right. But Dan and
I both both agree on the over on the Denver Broncos.
So all right, guys, that's gonna do it for us today.
