RJ Bell's Dream Preview

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers break down NFL Week 5 from a betting perspective. Dave Essler also provides a best bet.NFL Week 5 Picks and AnalysisThe podcast opens with RJ Bell providing a quick promotional offer for 7- and 30-day access packages, highlighting the current hot streaks of various handicappers like Greg Shaker and A.J. Hoffman (00:11-02:25). Steve Fezzik then joins in, sharing his overall season stats, noting a recent down week but still being up +57 units for the year (02:25-02:30).The conversation transitions into analysis of recent NFL trends, with a key focus on load management in the NFL, a concept borrowed from the NBA. Fezzik notes that teams are increasingly conservative with player injuries, using the example of Justin Herbert, suggesting players are being rested for the long haul rather than pushed to play during regular-season games (05:08-06:34).The core of the podcast features the team’s "best bets" for Week 5. Fezzik’s five-weight pick is the New Orleans Saints (+5.5) against the Kansas City Chiefs for Monday Night Football. His reasoning revolves around yards per play (YPP), highlighting that while Kansas City has had success in close games, they’re not playing like a 4-0 team. He anticipates value in betting against Kansas City due to their perceived lack of urgency (07:09-08:17).Fezzik also predicts that Kansas City is overvalued, emphasizing that they will not have the urgency to maintain their hot start (08:17-08:50). RJ Bell concurs, discussing the Chiefs' success rate compared to EPA (Expected Points Added), underscoring Kansas City’s reliance on big plays rather than consistent performance. He highlights Green Bay’s reliance on big plays, comparing it to Kansas City's ability to convert key moments into victories, despite overall middling success (13:14-16:04).Further analysis dives into Patrick Mahomes' performance. Scott Seidenberg notes that Mahomes has thrown seven turnover-worthy passes, second only to Jalen Hurts, and this hasn't been a typical start for the MVP quarterback (17:48-18:10). Fezzik agrees that Mahomes isn’t playing well, making poor decisions, though he’s optimistic Mahomes will adjust as the season progresses (18:55-19:45).Fezzik's four-weight pick involves betting on the Rams against Green Bay, citing their tendency to rely on big plays as unsustainable. He and Bell predict a regression for Green Bay's offense, suggesting their early-season success is not built to last (24:13-29:09).The podcast also covers the intricacies of the betting market. Fezzik discusses how Rams wide receivers are decimated by injuries, downgrading their home-field advantage in Los Angeles, where 60% of the crowd is expected to support Green Bay. This leads to skepticism about the Rams' chances, despite their defensive struggles (31:26-36:00).Scott Seidenberg closes with an interesting stat about Patrick Mahomes, noting that when he's more than a field-goal favorite, he's only 38-43-3 against the spread (18:25-18:35), underscoring why betting on the underdog Saints is a value play.

Key stats include: UNLV is 20th in rushing offense. Syracuse ranks 3rd in passing yards per game, with Kyle McCord leading their aerial attack. Ben points out Syracuse’s weak rush defense, ranked 94th, as a vulnerability. UNLV’s ability to get to the quarterback (10th in sack percentage) is also highlighted as crucial to containing Syracuse’s passing game. Ben confidently picks UNLV to cover the spread (-6.5).Missouri vs. Texas A&MAnalysis (6:11 - 7:38)Missouri is praised for their balance on offense and defense, ranking in the top 20 for both, while Texas A&M’s struggles in quarterback play are noted. Despite Texas A&M's rushing offense, which accounts for 60% of their plays, they are only 45th in yards per rush. Missouri’s stout rush defense gives Ben confidence in his pick of Missouri +2, while Warner leans toward under 48.5, expecting a low-scoring affair.Betting Strategy and Predictions:Ole Miss vs. South CarolinaAnalysis (8:48 - 9:37)Both teams are analyzed in terms of their offensive styles—Ole Miss relies heavily on quarterback Jackson Dart, while South Carolina prefers a ground game approach. Ole Miss’s elite rush defense, allowing only 1.5 yards per play, contrasts sharply with South Carolina’s run-heavy offense. Despite this, Ben picks the under (53.5), believing both teams' strengths cancel each other out.Miami vs. CalAnalysis (16:38 - 18:28)Miami’s high-powered offense, ranking 4th nationally, is a key talking point. In contrast, Cal’s offense is weak, averaging only 20 points per game. Ben expects Miami’s offense to exploit Cal’s defensive weakness, particularly against the pass. He confidently picks Miami (-10.5), predicting a runaway victory.Final Best Bets: UNLV (-6.5) - Ben’s confidence in UNLV’s playoff push and improved quarterback play leads him to choose them over Syracuse. Washington (-2.5) - Both Warner and Ben agree that Washington, playing at home and with a strong tailgate scene, has the edge against Michigan, despite Michigan's solid form. Miami/Cal Over (55) - Warner anticipates a high-scoring game, especially given Miami’s explosive offense. Conclusion:The podcast provides an in-depth breakdown of key games, offering both statistical analysis and betting recommendations. The speakers back their picks with detailed insights into team and player performance, emphasizing specific matchups like UNLV’s rushing attack against Syracuse’s weak defense and Missouri’s strong rushing defense versus Texas A&M’s struggling offense. Their track record of successful bets adds credibility to their predictions, making this a valuable resource for college football bettors. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, SleepyJ and Steve Reider talk NFL player Props for Sunday. The guys also preview two MNF games and offer up a best bet prop.IntroductionMunaf Manji (0:12 - 0:51) opens the discussion for Week 4 NFL player props, focusing on key positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. He is joined by Steve Reeder and SleepyJ.Quarterback Props SleepyJ (4:01 - 4:51) kicks off by suggesting a prop for Justin Fields to go over 40.5 rushing yards. He highlights the Colts' weak rushing defense, pointing to past games against Malik Willis and Joe Mixon. Steve Reeder (5:42 - 8:05) suggests fading Jordan Love, citing his injury concerns and the tough defense he'll face. Steve predicts that Love won’t be at full strength and is up against a Vikings defense that recently limited opponents like CJ Stroud. Munaf Manji (8:55 - 10:30) focuses on Kyler Murray, suggesting over 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Washington Commanders. He notes how the Commanders’ defense has allowed two passing touchdowns per game to every opponent so far this season. Running Back Props SleepyJ (10:50 - 12:09) proposes a prop for Choba Hubbard to score a touchdown at even money, emphasizing his heavy volume of touches (26) in the previous game. Hubbard's matchup against a vulnerable Bengals defense makes him a solid pick. Steve Reeder (13:05 - 14:52) backs Bijan Robinson over 69.5 rushing yards, despite concerns over his shoulder injury. He praises the Falcons’ improved offense and highlights their upcoming matchup against a Saints defense that has struggled against elite running backs like Saquon Barkley. Munaf Manji (14:53 - 16:39) suggests Aaron Jones over 21.5 receiving yards against the Packers. Jones has been a consistent performer in the passing game and could shine again against his former team. Wide Receiver Props SleepyJ (17:34 - 18:51) recommends Kyron Williams over 16.5 receiving yards. Williams is becoming more involved in the Rams' passing game due to injuries to other key players. Steve Reeder (19:54 - 21:44) focuses on Josh Downs over 34 receiving yards. Reeder highlights his strong connection with quarterback Anthony Richardson, believing that the Colts will rely on Downs more heavily in the passing game. Munaf Manji (23:59 - 24:55) suggests Dalton Kincaid over 37.5 receiving yards, citing the Ravens' vulnerability against tight ends this season. Tight End Props SleepyJ (24:56 - 27:17) backs Travis Kelsey over 4.5 catches, noting that he will likely bounce back after a disappointing start to the season. Kelsey has consistently performed well against the Chargers, making this a solid play. Steve Reeder (28:32 - 29:58) takes an under prop for Kyle Pitts under 36.5 receiving yards, arguing that Pitts has not been a major part of the Falcons' offense this season. Monday Night Football Preview Munaf Manji (34:57 - 36:17) begins by previewing the Titans vs Dolphins game. With quarterback concerns for Miami and a struggling Titans offense, he and the co-hosts suggest a low-scoring game. Steve Reeder (38:32 - 40:09) believes the game will be dominated by conservative play, focusing on limiting turnovers and relying on the ground game. SleepyJ (36:18 - 38:27) leans toward the Titans but admits the game could go either way due to Miami’s unpredictability. The second Monday Night Football game between the Seahawks and Lions is discussed next. Steve Reeder (41:46 - 43:20) backs the Lions, despite the market moving against them, citing their stronger overall team and home-field advantage. Munaf Manji (43:21 - 45:01) agrees with Steve but highlights the injuries to the Lions’ offensive line and key players like Sam Laporta. Best BetThe group concludes with their best player prop: Jackson Smith-Njigba over 48.5 receiving yards. Munaf points out that slot receivers have consistently performed well against the Lions this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg give out NFL Week 4 Picks. The guys deep dive into some of the leagues best and worst teams. Dave Essler also chimes in with his Week 4 best bet.Introduction (RJ Bell: 0:16 - 1:38)The podcast opens with RJ Bell commending the insights shared, specifically Steve Fezzik convincing him to back a game he was initially unsure about. The team then dives into a promotion for "Weekender" packages for sports betting enthusiasts, offering access to picks across multiple sports for $10, down from the usual $89.Analysis and Key Team TrendsJacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) vs. Buffalo Bills (Steve Fezzik: 13:24 - 16:59)Fezzik's top pick for Week 4 is the Jacksonville Jaguars at +6.5 against the Buffalo Bills. He critiques the significant shift in odds after Jacksonville’s poor performance on Monday Night Football. Fezzik believes the line overreacts to recency bias, citing how Jacksonville’s spread moved from +4.5 last week to +6.5 against a Bills team that is only a few points better than Houston. He argues that the number is too generous and sees value in backing the Jaguars. Quote (Steve Fezzik: 14:57 - 15:12): “It's the situational spot...you got a three and Buffalo team that just played Monday night...and you got a Baltimore team 1-2 needing the game like blood.”Ravens vs. Bills (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:30)Fezzik also notes an interesting trend where big dogs (teams receiving more than 5 points) are performing well this season, covering the spread at 14-2. On the flip side, small dogs (teams receiving 5 points or less) are 11-19-1.
