Episode notes
Lean Niners If Kittle Plays
- Consider taking the 49ers as a home dog or teaser piece because their offense is hot despite defensive weaknesses.
- Account for Kittle's health and possible lineup/rest decisions before betting.
Contrasting Team Strengths Create Coin Flip
- The 49ers and Seahawks present inverted strengths: San Francisco scores easily but lacks pass rush, Seattle defends well but struggles offensively.
- That contrast makes their matchup a true coin flip dependent on game plans and turnovers.
Bet The Under In Steelers–Ravens
- Expect a low-scoring Steelers–Ravens game and consider under bets given injuries and offensive limitations.
- Monitor TJ Watt's participation and Lamar Jackson's mobility before sizing any wager.
