Episode notes
Week With Heavy Byes Shrinks Betting Market
- The hosts call this week 'Bi-amageddon' because six teams have byes, drastically reducing betting options and Survivor choices.
- Fewer games concentrate market moves and make line value more important than usual.
Exploit Situational Spot Value
- Bet situationally when teams are coming off bad losses or short weeks; those spots often create value.
- Chase the number (e.g., Miami vs. Atlanta) rather than forcing a side at a worse line.
Ravens 'Get‑Right' Spot Hinges On Lamar
- The hosts see value in Baltimore versus Chicago because the Ravens are in a 'get-right' spot and the Bears matchup is poor.
- Lamar Jackson's health remains the main unknown that could change the line's value.
