Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk CBB weekend betting. The guys also give out best bets and preview the biggest games. CBB Weekend Preview + Best Bets (February 14, 2025) – Summary Introduction (0:14 - 1:31)Host Griffin Warner and co-host Big East Ben introduce the latest episode of the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast, presented by Pregame.com.

He also slams Alex Karaban, calling him the worst preseason All-American of all time.Warner counters, noting UConn’s late-season peaks, improved health, and their win at Creighton, despite foul trouble and injuries. However, both hosts agree UConn’s success is unsustainable if they rely on two players.Game Previews & Best BetsWisconsin vs. Purdue (6:11 - 8:56) Wisconsin is 9-2 against the spread (ATS) on the road and leads the Big Ten in three-point shooting. Purdue relies on interior scoring (highest two-point FG distribution in Big Ten). Defensive battle: Purdue has the 2nd-best defense, Wisconsin 3rd-best in Big Ten. Big East Ben’s pick: Under 149.5 points due to defensive dominance. Griffin Warner’s pick: Purdue -5, citing their dominance at home. Boise State vs. San Diego State (8:56 - 14:54) San Diego State is 2-8 ATS at home and struggles defensively without fouling (304th in free throw rate).

Griffin Warner’s pick: Illinois -6, doubting Michigan State’s resilience. Auburn vs. Alabama (23:41 - 30:26) Alabama is a 2.5-point home favorite, but Auburn is statistically the most talented team.

NBA Dream Pod Tuesday + Best Bets !!

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Tuesday February 3rd. The guys also give out best bets. Key Trades and Reactions1. Lakers-Mavericks Blockbuster Trade(5:10 - 13:22) Trade Details: Lakers send Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Mavericks. Lakers receive Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris. Immediate Reactions: Rivers was shocked, comparing it to waking up in a new reality. Luka's potential as a top-30 player all-time makes the trade stunning. Why would Dallas trade Luka? Concerns over his health and conditioning. His commitment to the game was questioned by the Mavericks’ front office. Lakers’ Perspective: Luka learns from LeBron’s longevity and conditioning regimen. Lakers’ future is now built around Luka as the post-LeBron centerpiece. Mavericks’ Outlook: Can Anthony Davis stay healthy? The odds shifted after the trade: Lakers went from 40-1 to 20-1 to win the championship. Mavericks dropped from 20-1 to 40-1. 2. Jimmy Butler to the Warriors(16:18 - 20:52) Trade Details: Golden State acquires Jimmy Butler from Miami in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Warriors also add a shooter from another team. Analysis: Jimmy Butler extends with Golden State for two years, $121M. The window for the Warriors is closing, but this move might extend it. Rivers isn't fully convinced: Warriors needed a Kevin Durant-level addition, not just Butler. Draymond Green is holding the team back. This trade makes them a playoff team but not a title contender. 3. Cavaliers Acquire De’Andre Hunter(22:24 - 23:42) Trade Details: Cleveland Cavaliers acquire De’Andre Hunter from the Hawks. Why This Matters: Hunter fits perfectly as a 3-and-D player. Cavs now have a strong starting five: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Hunter, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. Comparison made to the Denver Nuggets’ balanced championship lineup. 4. Bucks Swap Middleton for Kuzma(23:42 - 24:21) Trade Details: Bucks trade Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma. Analysis: Rivers isn’t a fan of Kuzma. Bucks might have just made the move to cut salary and stay under the luxury tax. With Giannis now injured, the Bucks’ short-term outlook is uncertain. Tuesday's Betting Insights & Game Analysis1. Raptors vs. 76ers (-7)(25:41 - 31:18) Key Points: Joel Embiid is questionable but likely to play. Sixers’ defense has been atrocious (30th in the NBA last month). Betting Pick: Rivers likes the Sixers (-7), believing they’ll turn things around. 2. Knicks vs. Pacers (-1)(32:14 - 33:59) Key Points: Knicks want revenge for last year's playoff loss to Indiana. Betting Pick: Slight lean toward the Knicks due to their bounce-back potential. 3. Pistons (-3.5) vs. Bulls(35:18 - 39:24) Key Points: Bulls are surprisingly better without Zach LaVine. Pistons are one of the most improved teams with Cade Cunningham leading. Betting Pick: Manji likes the Pistons (-3.5). 4. Grizzlies vs. Suns (-2)(40:50 - 43:50) Key Points: Memphis leads the NBA in pace. Phoenix’s defense is struggling. Betting Pick: Manji likes the over (238.5). Best Bets Mackenzie Rivers’ Best Bet: 76ers (-7) vs. Raptors. Believes Sixers are undervalued and will improve. Munaf Manji’s Best Bet: Grizzlies-Suns OVER (238.5). Memphis pushes tempo, and Phoenix can score. Final Thoughts The NBA trade deadline significantly changed team dynamics. Lakers now have their next franchise player in Luka. Warriors’ title hopes remain slim despite acquiring Jimmy Butler. Bucks’ future depends on Giannis’ health. 76ers are undervalued, and overs are trending in February. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dream Podcast Bonus - Super Bowl Special !!

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg drop a special episode for Super Bowl LIX. Don't miss out on all the picks and the same game parlay. Key Takeaways & Insights1. Super Bowl Betting Trends Scott Seidenberg (3:31 - 4:05) introduces a 10-0 betting trend where teams that received a first-round bye (like the Chiefs) are 0-10 against the spread (ATS) in the Super Bowl. Steve Fezzik (5:17 - 5:36) cautions about the validity of the trend, pointing out that lower-seeded teams (3rd-6th seeds) making the Super Bowl often indicate undervaluation. RJ Bell (8:56 - 9:04) states that in the current NFL playoff structure, upsets are more frequent, making pre-playoff seedings a weak indicator of true team strength. 2. Chiefs’ Strengths & Weaknesses Mackenzie Rivers (12:46 - 12:58) mentions that Patrick Mahomes ranked 8th in QBR this season, which is a drop from his prime years. RJ Bell (13:37 - 14:28) highlights Mahomes’ declining deep-ball passing (Average Depth of Target down from 9.7 yards to bottom five in the league). Steve Fezzik (16:13 - 16:29) debates how small moments in past Super Bowls (like Jimmy Garoppolo missing a throw) shaped Mahomes' legacy, arguing that one play could have changed the narrative. 3. Eagles’ Strengths & Concerns RJ Bell (15:31 - 16:13) argues that if the season were replayed, the Eagles would likely finish with a better record than the Chiefs. Scott Seidenberg (30:38 - 30:53) points out that the Eagles have dominated turnover battles in the playoffs (10 takeaways, 0 giveaways), while the Chiefs are -1. 4. Super Bowl Betting Market Moves Scott Seidenberg (16:43 - 17:52) reports a massive bet placed on the Eagles, potentially by legendary bettor Billy Walters. Steve Fezzik (17:19 - 17:39) states that Circa Sports increased their betting limits to $300,000 on Super Bowl wagers. Best Bets & Betting Strategies5. Same Game Parlay Concepts RJ Bell (21:13 - 22:08) proposes a high-value parlay based on historical game flow tendencies: Chiefs win Mahomes over completions Saquon Barkley over rushing attempts Game total under Payout: +2100 (21-to-1 odds) Steve Fezzik (21:52 - 22:08) notes that if the game total is low, the chance of a huge lead is lower, making the under correlated to a closer game. 6. Alternative Parlay Adjustments RJ Bell (26:05 - 26:09) tweaks the parlay: Mahomes' completions lowered Barkley’s rush attempts reduced Final payout: +700 Scott Seidenberg (43:45 - 44:03) creates another parlay based on a Chiefs blowout: Chiefs -9.5 Barkley 30+ rushing attempts Mahomes 40+ pass attempts Payout: +4600 (46-to-1) Prop Bets & Key Markets7. Player Prop Bets Jalen Hurts MVP (+350) – If the Eagles win in a close game, Hurts is the most likely MVP. Devonta Smith to lead in receiving yards (+600) – If A.J. Brown is contained, Smith becomes the primary target. JuJu Smith-Schuster receptions over 1.5 (-140) – Sharp money moving this line up suggests heavily bet over. Travis Kelce under receptions & yards – Market overvaluing Kelce’s role, potential sharp fade. 8. Game Script & Live Betting Strategies Fezzik (56:07 - 56:34) suggests betting Eagles live if they fall behind double digits, as they are built to rally. Mackenzie Rivers (1:04:34 - 1:04:41) suggests betting under 6.5 punts, citing historical offensive efficiency. Super Bowl Fun & Gimmick Bets Gatorade Color Shift (58:18 - 58:52): The betting market moved yellow/green Gatorade from +300 to -295, indicating inside information. Three Players to Attempt a Pass (+180): Kansas City & Philly have trick plays and gadget packages that could result in a non-QB passing attempt. Final Betting Recommendations Same Game Parlay (21-to-1 odds): Chiefs win, Mahomes over completions, Barkley over rushes, game total under. Devonta Smith over receiving yards (+600 to lead all receivers). Live bet Eagles if they fall behind 10+ points. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dream Podcast - Super Bowl LIX Preview + Best Bets !!

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk Super Bowl 59. The guys discuss a ton of the big game. Don't miss out on all the best information. 🏆 On Sharp Betting Strategies🗣 RJ Bell (17:28 - 17:46):"You know, I would make the case. So you're saying Henry would give you his power, effectively his game ratings for the game and say, go bet somewhere else on your, with your book, with your, with your, I'm using book as like, like the finance guys on Wall Street with your money or with Pinnacle's money, with Pinnacle's money."​🔎 Analysis:RJ compares betting syndicates to financial markets, illustrating how professionals leverage their knowledge across different books for maximum value. This highlights the arbitrage-style approach sharp bettors take when finding the best odds.📉 On Market Movements & Hidden Deals🗣 RJ Bell (18:33 - 19:25):"The way that the Olympic sports book and the Greek quote unquote, and Billy had a partnership that was, you know, from my understanding, went very deep and, and, and went for many years."​🔎 Analysis:This quote implies the deep, behind-the-scenes relationships between major sportsbooks and professional bettors. If true, it raises questions about line manipulation and insider strategies used at the highest levels of sports betting.💰 On Super Bowl Prop Betting & Correlation🗣 Steve Fezzik (1:31:10 - 1:31:23):"It makes me very happy because I win Scott's Circus Square zero zero first quarter bet. And also I get to Barry Horowitz pat myself on the back when my bet on both teams are no will score despite the first quarter going over."​🔎 Analysis:Fezzik celebrates a correlated betting strategy, where even if the first quarter total goes over, his other bet (both teams not scoring) still wins. This demonstrates how sharp bettors hedge their bets across multiple angles.⏳ On First-Quarter Super Bowl Betting Trends🗣 Scott Seidenberg (1:31:23 - 1:31:54):"Of the last ten Super Bowls, five of them were zero-zero. So five scoops, four splits. Only one time, only one time you lost them both."​🔎 Analysis:Super Bowls have historically started slow, making first-quarter unders and "No score in first six minutes" props sharp plays. Seidenberg reinforces that betting against first-quarter fireworks is often a +EV strategy.🔥 On Betting Against Mahomes’ Passing Yards🗣 RJ Bell (1:52:16 - 1:53:25):"Mahomes in general, his stats aren't as good as his rep or his winning. And I think Fangio is especially suited to slow him down. And I also think that the Super Bowl lends itself to the public betting over."​🔎 Analysis:RJ makes a compelling case for betting Mahomes' passing yards under, citing defensive coaching (Vic Fangio), public bias towards overs, and Mahomes' shift in playstyle. This aligns with a sharp bettor’s approach to finding value in overinflated markets.🏈 On Patrick Mahomes' Rushing Habits in Playoffs🗣 Scott Seidenberg (1:08:13 - 1:08:25):"This season, when trailing, Patrick Mahomes has only run the ball 12 times in 15 games. When leading, he ran 36 times."​🔎 Analysis:Seidenberg uncovers a key betting trend—Mahomes runs more when leading than when trailing, contradicting conventional thinking. This insight could shape rushing attempt props for Mahomes in the Super Bowl.📊 On Jalen Hurts’ Running vs. Passing Playstyle🗣 RJ Bell (1:17:57 - 1:18:05):"Almost one in three (29%) of Jalen Hurts' plays were runs. For Mahomes, it was 6%. Hurts was number one in the NFL, Mahomes was number 26."​🔎 Analysis:RJ emphasizes how much more Hurts runs compared to Mahomes, suggesting Hurts' rushing attempts over might be a strong play. Mahomes’ reliance on passing means sack props or passing yardage unders could hold value.🔍 On Betting the Super Bowl Over/Under🗣 Steve Fezzik (1:35:06 - 1:35:28):"Two years ago, these teams played a shootout. The total opened at 49.5, now it's 48.5 at sharp books. But I think the public's going to bet over."​ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
