Episode notes
Colts' Start Is An Outlier Not A Guarantee
- The Colts' 6-1 start masks an easy early schedule and will face much tougher opponents moving forward.
- Brandon warns this performance likely regresses as Indianapolis faces top defenses and offenses.
Bet Smaller Or Chase Longer Shots This Week
- Be cautious this week and reduce unit sizes because many favorites show exploitable flaws.
- Consider smaller straight bets or larger longer-shot plays instead of big ATS wagers.
Target Cowboys Team Total Over 23.5
- Play the Cowboys team total over 23.5 instead of the moneyline, exploiting Denver's fragile defense vs. top offenses.
- Use escalators (26.5/29.5/35) to increase payout when you expect high Dallas scoring.
