BettingPros Podcast

It's time for another round of best bets against the spread and we're kicking things off with a few wagers neither of our hosts can agree on.  We eventually net out on our five, but listen in to our reasonings for and against the Raiders getting 2.5 against the Bills (4:58) and the Saints laying 3.5 against the Lions (11:23). Should the 49ers be such heavy favorites with all of their injuries (14:12) and are the Browns starting to figure things out in time to push the Cowboys in Week 4 (19:05)? Despite Russell Wilson's MVP season, could the Dolphins be the right pick at +6.5 (32:20) and will the Ravens play angry enough to cover as 12.5 point favorites (36:03)? Get our thoughts on all the games this weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 3 of football is here and we're back to give our picks against the spread. Matt's feeling confident while Dan isn't a huge fan of the games, but in the end, we've got our top five plays of the week and we're starting with our favorite game featuring the Patriots and Raiders (7:23). Can the Titans go into Minnesota and cover or will the home team take care of business (9:49)? We've got some big disagreements to talk through with the Cowboys (16:49) and the Giants (23:39), but we do find our five plays including the AFC Super Bowl on Monday night (32:20). Listen in through the whole show as Matt drops a bonus futures play that you'll want to take advantage of now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back to blitz through all the matchups in Week 2 to give our top 5 best bets against the spread. After nearly going 4-1 in the first week, we'll look to better that mark in a week filled with difficult plays to make. The Panthers are getting 9.5, but will the real Tom Brady show up after a porous outing (5:45)? We discuss one of the easier picks of the week (8:17) before getting into the first matchup with a 5.5 point spread which Matt stays away from, but will he be talked into it (13:37)? The Vikings ran into the Hall of Fame version of Aaron Rodgers in the first week and are now underdogs against Philip Rivers who looked quite the opposite of his prime (22:50). Listen in as we run through games we are staying away from (27:55) before recapping our top 5.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 1 has arrived and we're here to give our favorite plays that we'll be actually using in our DraftKings Pick'em Championship contest. Listen in as we debate which teams make our cut of our top five favorite bets against the spread. Should the Cardinals getting 6.5 points from the 49ers be on your radar (5:21) and will the Falcons show the oddsmakers they were wrong to make them a home underdog in week 1 (7:11)? Is there a reason the Bengals aren't heavier underdogs (13:29) and what is Matt's rule when it comes to 5.5 point spreads (18:34)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back tackling the NFC after giving Over/Under win predictions for the AFC last week. The pandemic will undoubtedly have an impact on teams this year, especially ones with new head coaches or new players in prominent roles. Looking at the NFC East (3:39), there are a couple of teams that fit that description. The NFC North (11:12) has more continuity, but can Aaron Rodgers repeat a 13 win season (11:37)? If there's ever a year for the Saints to push for a Super Bowl, this is it (18:15) and Tampa Bay will be much more competitive, but will it be enough to bet them on the over for 9.5 wins (20:57)? The West is filled with talent and continuity (27:48), but there are high expectations out there that the books are setting for the 49ers and Seahawks. Will either hit the over?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are just two weeks away from football making its way back into homes and it's time to revisit the AFC as we preview each division and predict whether teams will hit the over or under. It's a double dose of BettingPros hosts with Dan Harris back to get the season started alongside Matt Perrault who's been giving his daily takes on our Daily Juice podcast. With both being AFC East fans, the show kicks off talking about our favorite bet in the East, the Jets (5:58). The North features a Bengals team with a rookie QB, but can Joe Burrow lead them past 5.5 wins (13:05)? The South has a pair of quality teams that should provide strong Over plays (20:43) while the West leads to a disagreement about the Raiders (29:44).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the launch of the 2020 schedule, we're evaluating the latest lines across the NFL. Joining us is Andrew Caley, senior editor at Covers, to blitz through each division and identify where your money should be wagered. Starting with the AFC East, despite the Patriots moving on from Tom Brady and making minimal impact moves in the draft or free agency, they're still the favorites, but are they the smart bet (2:41)? The Ravens are the rightful overwhelming favorites in the North, but is there any value in this division (8:56)? The Cowboys are the favorite in the NFC East, but their recent history of under-performing  is concerning (23:24). Did Tom Brady and Gronk tank any value the Bucs may have had (36:15) and are the Seahawks the easy value pick in the NFC West given Russell Wilson's greatness (39:25)? Get our picks for the division winners (AFC 44:44, NFC 47:00) and lastly, which lines stood out now that we know what's on the schedule for Week 1 (51:10).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NFL Draft is just about here and we've got Rich Ryan of the Gridiron Gamble podcast on the show to help breakdown all the best prop bets out there worth wagering on. We start with a pair of Tua Tagovailoa props (6:12 & 8:23) before moving on to who the No. 3 overall pick will be (14:24). Will Mel Kiper Jr. make another accurate prediction on the New York Giants (20:37)?  Could CeeDee Lamb fall down the draft board (36:49) and how many running backs will go in the first round (40:29)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the AFC to now the NFC, we're looking at all the projected win totals and picking out our favorite bets. Joining us is Iain MacMillan of Odds Shark to break down each division starting with the NFC East (2:50). A disagreement on the Cowboys (3:13) and multiple head coaching changes (7:40 & 9:42) make the East a difficult one to navigate. Should we expect the Packers to lose 4 games more than they did last season (12:56) and what will the South look like with a pair of aging Hall of Fame quarterbacks (18:48)?  Can Iain's mind be changed on the Saints (23:14) and what can we expect out of the crowded West (26:40)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the NFL Draft around the corner and early Over/Under win totals being available, Adam Burke of BangTheBook Radio joins the show to talk about the best bets available across the AFC. The AFC East is a wild card with the Brady-less Patriots, but how much will actually change in the division (2:37)? After flopping in 2019, are the Browns primed to hit the over on their projected win total of 8.5 (14:59)? What do you do with a large projected win total like that of the Ravens (23:26) and which team offers up the best bet in the AFC South (25:24)? To round out the AFC, there's one team in the West, that is being underestimated (33:36).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
