Episode notes
Early Futures Example: Daniel Jones
- Warren Sharp mentions they already hit a futures idea: Daniel Jones being named Colts starter.
- This illustrates how early futures can cash before the season starts.
Bet Against Tennessee To Make The Playoff
- Avoid overrating Tennessee because they lost top defensive pass rushers and their quarterback situation is unsettled.
- Betting Tennessee to miss the playoff at minus-375 is reasonable given roster downgrades and an inexperienced QB.
Senior Returns Make Penn State A Safe Back
- Penn State's mass senior returns create one of the clearest playoff paths despite coaching doubts about big-game wins.
- You can profit by backing them to make the playoff since they only need to lose a couple key games and still reach 10 wins.
