NBA Weekend Preview + Best Bets !!
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend. The NBA pod opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers running through key injuries and early-season trends, starting with Jalen Brunson’s grade-one ankle sprain and Mack’s view that his value to the line has dipped as New York evolves beyond a Brunson-centric offense. They discuss the Hawks thriving defensively without Trae Young and whether the Knicks can mirror that dynamic with Bridges and Anunoby taking on more facilitation. Paolo Banchero’s groin issue is next, with Mack noting the timing hurts Orlando just as its offense was improving. They touch on LeBron’s return to a Lakers team that’s started well behind Luka and Austin Reaves, but Mack doubts LA’s true strength given their soft schedule and negative net rating. The Clippers’ bleak outlook follows: Beal’s season-ending injury, Kawhi’s worrisome foot-ankle-tendon chain, poor roster construction, and Mack’s three-point downgrade leading him to think they’ll miss the playoffs. Munaf notes LA’s 3–8 start and wonders if they’ll eventually blow it up; Mack doubts the trade market would give them meaningful return. They then shift to the league’s three one-win teams — Brooklyn, Indiana, and Washington — with Indiana’s mountain of guard injuries dragging them down, Brooklyn being exactly as bad as projected, and Washington playing an absurd pace that inflates opponent scoring and creates easy team-total overs. Discussion moves to Houston’s elite but low-pace offense and how fast-playing opponents, like Washington, artificially boost Houston’s scoring ceiling. They revisit the firing of Mavs GM Nico Harrison after the controversial Luka-for-AD trade; both hosts believe the move likely came from ownership rather than the front office, noting how illogical the trade was on basketball grounds. Munaf and Mack then debate Mack’s question of the week: Would you take OKC and Denver versus the field to win the title? Mack argues the betting market undervalues this combo, giving them ~43% implied odds, while he thinks OKC and Denver are clearly the two best teams, with OKC even better than last year despite missing Jalen Williams and SGA playing at a historic efficiency level, and Denver pairing elite cohesion with Jokic’s playoff elevation. They consider the Rockets as the next-best Western challenger and view the Warriors as dangerously thin behind Curry. The Timberwolves get credit for consistently battling Denver with Gobert’s Jokic defense, while the Spurs’ young core remains too inexperienced to threaten top teams. They preview Lakers–Bucks with both on a back-to-back, leaning Lakers due to better rhythm and the disruption of Giannis returning mid-stride, and then Nuggets–Wolves, where Mack prefers Minnesota as a home dog given Denver’s soft early schedule and Minnesota’s matchup strengths. The pod wraps with best bets: Mack taking OKC to win the title at +210, citing market inertia, and Munaf taking Clippers to miss the playoffs at plus money given age, injuries, poor construction, and likely sell-off potential, before closing with brief notes on Phoenix’s strong start despite injuries and plans for more game-focused pods ahead.

NFL Week 11 Contest Pod Picks !!
Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler talk NFL contest podcast. On this Week 11 NFL Contest Podcast, Munaf Manji hosts McKenzie Rivers and Uncle Dave Essler as they recap Circa Survivor results, ATS contest performance, and dive into their picks. Survivor dropped from 1,769 to 1,000 entries after heavy eliminations on the Panthers and Bills, with implied value at $18,718. McKenzie leads off with his best bet: Giants–Packers over 43.5, arguing historically fired-coach games trend over, especially when the interim coach is offensive-minded, and noting Jameis Winston’s volatility driving fireworks and overs. He views the market wrongly dragging the total down. Munaf agrees on Green Bay offensive urgency and New York’s defensive issues, leaning Giants +7. Dave pushes back, preferring the under due to forecasted rain and wind in New York, expecting Green Bay to run and limit pace. The group embraces the value in hearing both sides. Dave’s pick is Chargers over Jaguars, citing Jacksonville’s inconsistency, Trevor Lawrence’s regression, lack of trust from teammates, run-game issues, key injuries, and a deflating blown lead to Houston. Munaf agrees, noting the offensive injuries and mental state of Jacksonville. McKenzie calls both teams fraudulent and wants to fade the winner later. Munaf’s pick is Bills -5.5 vs Buccaneers, a bounce-back spot after a nasty Miami loss, with Buffalo’s run game through James Cook and Tampa’s cluster injuries at WR/RB. Dave agrees, citing weather favoring Buffalo’s ground game, Mayfield’s inexperience in those conditions, and adjusted scores suggesting Buffalo didn’t play as poorly as the box score indicated. Survivor talk: Dave likes Vikings over Bears, noting Chicago’s inflated record from weak opponents, poor defense, and Minnesota’s home edge. Munaf thinks the Cowboys or Chargers are viable if available. McKenzie says his and Dan’s survivor entry still alive and prefers Patriots as the top play, Ravens as second choice. They close with shoutouts to Sleepy Jay, pregame promotions, and plans for next week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bermuda Championship & DP World Tour Championship Picks
Will Doctor has sharpest mind in the world of golf and gets you ready for this weeks big golf events. Find out why everyone is now listening to @drmedia59 for his weekly golf suggestions. Bermuda & Dubai Golf Picks – Doc’s Redemption Card for Week 45 Will Doctor returned to Pregame’s Golf Preview podcast down 17.4 units but fully dialed in for the Bermuda Championship and the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. After recapping Ben Griffin’s third PGA Tour win and another “movie” finish for Aaron Rye, Doc framed Bermuda’s Port Royal as the ultimate equalizer — a 6,800-yard coastal track where wind trumps power and players grind for cards, not glory. He broke down the favorites: Rico Hoey (22-1) fading on Bermuda greens, Thorbjorn Olesen (22-1) a pass due to poor wind splits, and Nico Echevarria (28-1) his key play — elite on this surface, top-20 (+110) locked in. Supporting tickets: Matti Schmid (35-1 outright and +300 top 10) riding form from Cabo; veteran Matt Kuchar (40-1) whose precision game and Bermuda prowess mirror past wins at Mayakoba and Sony; and value sleeper Vince Whaley (+300 top 10) chasing another Port Royal top-finish. His DFS card stacked those names with David Ford and Will Chandler for salary balance. Shifting to Dubai, Doc highlighted a star-packed Earth Course: Rory McIlroy, already lending his name to the new “Rory Award,” and Tommy Fleetwood, both scorching hot after Abu Dhabi. His DP World Tour tickets were minimal but potent — Fleetwood top-5 (+110) and McIlroy to win (4-1). As the 2025 season wanes, Doc vowed to claw back the deficit with precision plays, coastal form analysis, and full transparency.

NFL Survivor Week 11 Entries
NFL Survivor Week 10 – Broncos the Pick, Colts Overreach, and Lessons from the Board As Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera hit the midpoint of the NFL Survivor season, their focus sharpened after cruising through Week 9 with the Rams and eyeing Week 10’s Thursday matchup in Denver. The pod opened with a fiery debate over the Colts’ blockbuster trade for Sauce Gardner — Rivera blasting GM Chris Ballard’s “all-in” gamble after years of bad drafting, while Rivers agreed the move screams desperation more than championship intent. With survivor strategy in mind, they shifted to this week’s slate, identifying the Broncos as the sharp early-week play: a rested home favorite facing a Raiders team gasping after an overtime road loss and heading into altitude. Rivera admitted discomfort with Bo Nix’s inconsistency but trusted Denver’s elite defense and the short-rest trend crushing visiting teams off overtime games. Rivers backed him with data — such teams are just 7-18 ATS since 2012 — and both hosts agreed the Broncos’ defense is the league’s steadiest unit by line-of-scrimmage metrics. They compared alternatives: Bills-Dolphins (potential letdown after KC win), Lions-Commanders (Detroit bounce-back vs. collapsing Washington), and long-term planning for Seattle’s Week 12 spot at Tennessee. Wrapping with trademark sarcasm and sponsor plugs, the duo declared the official Survivor play for Week 10 is Denver — no spreads, no hedges, just survival. Their mantra: pick stability, fade exhaustion, and stay alive one ugly favorite at a time Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SOVam Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !!
SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for week 10 and preview Monday Night Football Eagles at Packers. Straight Outta Vegas AM Weekend Rewind: Sleepy J filled in for Munaf Manji with Mackenzie Rivers to recap NFL Week 10 and preview Monday Night Football. They opened with MVP talk: Drake May’s Patriots are rolling, his odds now 3-1 with three winnable games ahead; Sleepy argued that even if he posts modest stats, continued wins will push him near even money, so bet him now. Mackenzie agreed, noting MVP favorites often fall after one loss and the Patriots’ schedule and QB narrative keep May in pole position. Discussion shifted to Survivor pools—Sleepy liked the Panthers and Bills setups that both backfired; Mackenzie stressed survival over cleverness, saying the Broncos were safer than Carolina. They moved to upgrades: Patriots and Seahawks each +1 point, legitimate conference contenders; then Mackenzie’s top-five teams: Rams, Chiefs, Bills, Seahawks, Packers, while Sleepy leaned Eagles #1 as defending champs pacing themselves. Downgrades centered on Arizona after a 28-0 blowout; both debated Denver vs Buffalo with Mackenzie downgrading the Bills more, citing Josh Allen’s slump. They discussed market reactions: short-term line moves aren’t knee-jerk but reflect meaningful data in small NFL samples. On coaching hot seats, Mike McDaniel’s win over the Bills cooled pressure, while Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon looked doomed amid poor locker-room support and Kyler Murray uncertainty. Turning to Monday Night Football—Eagles at Packers, line GB -1, total 45½—Mackenzie favored Green Bay as a buy-low home team versus an overrated Eagles squad ranking mid-league in EPA and PFF metrics. Sleepy countered that Philly remains the better, deeper, rested team and likely to reassert itself as title form returns; despite Green Bay’s rush defense, missing WR Reed limits their attack. Mackenzie’s “pizza bet” best play was Packers +1, expecting hunger after a loss and a flat Philly favored -3000 in the NFC East. Sleepy’s best bet was a prop: Dallas Goddard over 32.5 yards. Rationale—Packers’ elite rush D forces Hurts to throw; Goddard is his go-to safety blanket, and Green Bay ranks near bottom defending tight ends. Sleepy projected 5–7 catches and about double the posted yardage. Mackenzie endorsed that prop, noting edges lie more in player markets than tight game lines. They agreed the matchup should be tight, around 23-20, decided late, making props the sharper angle. Closing banter covered Mackenzie’s dormant X account and upcoming Instagram picks, joking about his social-media withdrawals. They reminded listeners to follow @sleepyJ and @MackenzieRivers, check pregame.com, and wished everyone good luck. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

CBB Weekend Preview + Best Bets !!
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk CBB weekend hoops action. Best bets as always. Emilio “Griffin” Warner hosts the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast with Big East Ben on the Pregame.com network, diving into early-season NCAA hoops. They recap matchups like Arizona–Florida and Texas–Duke before Ben spotlights IU Indy, calling the Jaguars’ relentless pressing style revolutionary, comparing it to hockey shifts. They discuss the team’s DII coach Ben Howlett and their up-tempo system before previewing major weekend games. First up, Arkansas at Michigan State: Ben favors Izzo’s Spartans for their home-court edge, rebounding, and transition play, noting they were strong ATS and an under team last year. Griffin agrees, citing cohesion and home crowd importance while teasing the under. Next, Alabama vs St. John’s at MSG: Ben praises Patino’s transformed Johnnies, citing balanced offense led by Hopkins, Jackson, and Sellers. Griffin questions the line but sides with home court, both agreeing St. John’s should cover. Their banter wanders through mayoral satire and MSG’s “wine and cheese crowd.” For Oklahoma vs Gonzaga in Spokane, Ben expects OU to hang within 11 points, doubting Gonzaga’s new backcourt of Braden Smith and Adam Miller, though acknowledging a strong frontcourt with E.K. and Grant-Foster. Griffin shares amusement at Miller’s on-court antics and warns against fading the Zags too early, leaning to the over if the Sooners keep pace. Sunday’s neutral-site Marquette–Indiana matchup follows, projected near Indiana -2, total 152. They debate Marquette’s athletic rebuild under Shaka Smart after losing Cam Jones, Joplin, and Mitchell, with Sean Jones and Chase Ross stepping up. Ben predicts a scrappy, defense-driven start and likes the first-half under. Griffin favors Marquette’s athleticism and depth, doubting IU’s cohesion under new coach Darian DeVries, whom Ben criticizes for jumping jobs and holding back his son’s eligibility. They joke about DeVries joining Ben’s “moral shit list,” riff on Dan Dakich, NIL hypocrisy, and even player names. Griffin emphasizes Marquette’s underdog value and crowd support in Chicago, envisioning a close finish. The show closes with betting picks: Ben’s best bet is George Washington +1.5 vs South Florida at Mohegan Sun, fading USF’s transfer-heavy roster. Griffin’s best bet is Michigan State -1 over Arkansas, highlighting home strength and early-season intensity. They plug promo code COLLEGE75 for $75 off season-long picks, encouraging listeners to subscribe through March Madness.

NFL Contest Pod - Week 10 Picks !!
Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contests for Week 10. NFL Week 10 brought the trio of Munaf Manji, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers together once again on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview to dissect contest standings and serve up their best bets. After Week 9’s modest 1–2 showing, optimism was high for a bounce back. Munaf opened with updates from the Circa Survivor, Circa Grandissimo, and SuperContest leaderboards: 288 eliminations last week left 1,769 Survivor entries alive, each now worth an implied $10,587, while 11 Grandissimo survivors chase over $627,000 apiece. The Circa Millions and SuperContest “top five” consensus picks continued to flounder at below 40% against the spread — a reminder that fading public favorites remains profitable. Shifting to picks, Dave “Uncle Dave” Essler led off with the Rams (+4.5) against the banged-up 49ers, citing Los Angeles’ superior defense, healthier roster, and underrated Matthew Stafford performance from their previous matchup. Mackenzie agreed, noting the Niners’ injuries and questioning San Francisco’s home-field edge in a rivalry where both fanbases travel. Munaf joined the chorus, backing the Rams and highlighting Stafford’s MVP-caliber form. Mackenzie’s own Week 10 best bet landed on the Denver Broncos (-9) over a weary Raiders squad that had just played a 70-minute overtime thriller. His trend-based handicap pointed to 31 ATS losers in 41 similar short-week, post-OT situations, and he praised Bo Nix’s steady climb to mid-tier quarterback status behind Denver’s elite line play and defense. Dave and Munaf concurred, calling it a bad situational spot for Las Vegas and predicting a double-digit Denver win. Munaf’s best bet was Detroit (-7.5) over Washington, framing it as a “get-right” opportunity after the Lions’ stumble versus Minnesota, with Jared Goff’s balanced offense poised to torch a Commanders defense that has surrendered 25+ points in four straight. Both co-hosts agreed, pointing to Washington’s injuries and lost season. For Survivor contests, the panel leaned Denver, Detroit, and Pittsburgh as safe Week 10 options. Dave endorsed the underdog Steelers (+3) against the Chargers, citing Mike Tomlin’s historic ATS success, while Mackenzie doubled down on Denver for his own Survivor pick. Wrapping up, Munaf reminded listeners of Pregame’s new College Basketball Contest (with $1,000 in potential prizes) and the “RUSHING50” promo for discounted football subscriptions. The crew signed off with their usual banter about Twitter bans and contest momentum, confident Week 10’s sharper reads — Rams grit, Broncos’ altitude edge, Lions’ rebound — would set a winning tone heading into midseason.

NFL Fantasy Football - Week 10
Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for Week 10. NFL Fantasy Week 10 — Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji On Straight Outta Vegas AM, Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji tackled NFL Fantasy Week 10 with their trademark blend of humor and insight, helping listeners navigate injuries, bye weeks, and late-season playoff pushes. Both noted that 2025’s fantasy season has been one of relentless waiver-wire churn — few “every-week locks” have survived the chaos. With heavy-hitting teams like Cincinnati, Dallas, Kansas City, and Tennessee on bye, depth and creativity became crucial. The pair opened with Thursday Night Football, a Raiders–Broncos matchup featuring Bo Nix’s steady rise and Denver’s surprising 7–2 record. Munaf acknowledged skepticism around the Broncos’ legitimacy but credited Sean Payton’s efficient offense and fierce defense. Both agreed Denver should prevail, with Rod eyeing Brock Bowers’ receiving props after a 12-catch, 127-yard, three-TD explosion in Week 9. They recommended overs on Bowers’ yardage and Bo Nix’s passing touchdowns, while warning that the -9.5 spread favored Denver but carried backdoor risk. Shifting to fantasy strategy, the hosts spotlighted waiver finds: Raiders WR Trey Tucker as a sneaky pickup post-Jacoby Meyers trade, and Denver’s emerging rookie WR Troy Franklin, now seeing nearly 80% of snaps with Marvin Mims sidelined. In the Broncos’ backfield, RJ Harvey’s steady PPR output — three straight games with touchdowns — made him a dependable flex despite J.K. Dobbins’ presence. Munaf also liked Loveland as a Bears tight end streamer after a breakout 118-yard, two-TD game, while Rod shared frustration from benching him last week. They debated running back Monongah’s outlook if DeAndre Swift remained sidelined, with Rod leaning Carolina WR Ted McMillan for stability and Munaf favoring Monongah’s upside versus New York’s soft run defense. Other flex calls included Dalton Schultz over Parker Washington in a Texans–Jaguars tilt due to Schultz’s chemistry with Davis Mills, and Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. over Purdue RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., citing Fannin’s red-zone role and Cleveland’s lack of receiving depth. They closed with deeper debates — Juwan Jennings vs. Khalil Shakir (edge to Jennings amid 49ers injuries) and backup QB rankings, where both chose Sam Darnold over Daniel Jones, Stafford, and Jacoby Brissett for Week 10. Munaf finished with promo plugs for Pregame’s contests and reminded listeners to use “RUSHING50” for discounted season picks. The show wrapped on optimism: fantasy managers who stayed alert, exploited matchups, and trusted players like Bowers, Franklin, or Harvey could find themselves solidly in the playoff hunt entering Week 11.

NFL Survivor Week 10 Entries !!
Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 10 Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera open their Week 10 NFL Survivor discussion, reflecting on surviving Week 9 with the Rams and noting they’re halfway through the season. Mackenzie mentions recording early because they love their pick this week, while teasing Dan about the Colts’ trade for Sauce Gardner. Dan blasts the move, saying GM Chris Ballard hasn’t drafted well since 2021, calling it an overpay of two first-rounders and A.D. Mitchell for a corner, arguing the Colts haven’t earned “all-in” status and are beating only bad teams. Mackenzie agrees, noting the Colts’ veteran QB situation limits upside versus AFC powers like Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson. They pivot to Week 10 Survivor talk: Denver Broncos over the Raiders. Mackenzie cites the Broncos’ home edge, elevation, and the Raiders’ fatigue from an overtime loss, while Dan admits Bo Nix isn’t great but says the Raiders are worse. They recall the 2021 Survivor heartbreak with Buffalo losing to Urban Meyer’s Jaguars and justify being more aggressive on Thursday games. Dan worries about Broncos defensive injuries but predicts a 28-14 or 28-20 win, saying the Raiders have hit their floor. Mackenzie adds data: road teams after overtime on short rest are just 4-10 ATS since 2012, making Vegas a fade. He defends Bo Nix’s improvement to mid-tier status and praises Denver’s elite defense by non-turnover metrics. They compare alternatives: Bills-Dolphins and Lions-Commanders. Dan likes Buffalo if they stay motivated post-Chiefs win but notes a possible letdown; Mackenzie calls Dolphins desperate but flawed. Both prefer the Lions against a crumbling Washington, assuming Detroit’s offensive line heals. They agree the Commanders’ defense is collapsing and the team has bottomed out, making Detroit a solid secondary choice. Next they mention Seahawks-Cardinals: Dan urges saving Seattle for Week 12 vs Tennessee but says Jacoby Brissett stabilizes Arizona; still, Seattle’s defense should handle them. Mackenzie quips about Titans being unbackable, then plugs Pregame.com’s Spartan pick with humor before joking about his “spectrum-like” delivery. They banter about that, closing with gratitude and clarity that Denver is the official pick for Week 10. Dan’s final segment looks ahead: Week 11 has few good Survivor options—Jets at Patriots on Thursday is likely best, maybe Vikings over Bears. He warns that weaker teams are cratering and the pool of trustworthy picks is shrinking. Mackenzie agrees, calling Week 11 thin outside Texans-Titans or Vikings-Bears, and they project using Seattle in Week 12. The pod wraps upbeat: “On to Week 10—Go Broncos!” and a tongue-in-cheek plug to “invest in generational wealth” via Pregame.com, maintaining their dry, witty tone and betting camaraderie throughout.

World Wide Technology Championship + Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship preview & picks
Will Doctor gives you the sharpest preview for the week 45 action in the world of golf. Golf Preview Podcast: Worldwide Technology & Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships This week’s Golf Preview Podcast with host Will Doctor took listeners around the globe for twin tournaments—the PGA Tour’s Worldwide Technology Championship in Cabo and the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship—pairing sharp betting insight with a clear read on form, course fit, and odds value. Will opened with the major headline that LIV Golf will expand to 72 holes in 2026, a necessary step toward earning official world ranking points. He applauded the move but joked that LIV must “ditch the shotgun start, put their pants back on, and bump fields to 125 players” to be taken seriously. Turning to Cabo’s El Cardinal at Diamante, Will dissected wide fairways, coastal winds, and massive 8,000-square-foot greens that demand patience and putting precision on paspalum. He ran through the favorites—Ben Griffin at 13-1, J.J. Spahn at 14-1, and Siwoo Kim at 20-1—praising their ball-striking while noting putting woes make them risky pre-tournament bets. Rico Hoey and Michael Thorbjornsen earned honorable mentions for potential live plays, while Max Graceman’s length and putting prowess made him a strong lineup anchor despite inflated odds. Will’s card featured Matt Kuchar outright at 60-1 on FanDuel, citing Kuchar’s coastal pedigree, recent form, and runner-up finish at Diamante two years ago. He paired that with Max Graceman top-10 (+200) and Thorbjornsen top-10 (+275), plus a sleeper top-20 on Isaiah Salenda at +333, banking on his paspalum putting bounce-back. His lone matchup pick was David Ford over Chandler Phillips (–105), backing the rookie’s consistency off the tee and elite putting splits. In Abu Dhabi, Will spotlighted Rory McIlroy (6-1), Tommy Fleetwood (7-1), and Tyrrell Hatton (9-1) as clear threats at Yas Links, with Matt Fitzpatrick (18-1) his top outright due to sustained top-10 consistency and motivation to close the season strong. Rafa Cabrera-Bello rounded out his picks with a top-20 (+240) and long-shot outright (200-1), leaning on course history and renewed confidence with the putter. Will closed by promoting Pregame’s EAGLE20 discount code and teasing next week’s Bermuda and Dubai finales. With humor, precision, and elite statistical depth, the podcast offered a comprehensive blueprint for golf bettors navigating late-season chaos—smart, fast, and perfectly dialed in to the global game.

SOVam Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !!
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football and Monday Night Football. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 9, starting with Seattle’s 28-0 first-half dominance over Washington behind Sam Darnold’s near-perfect performance and Jackson Smith-Njigba’s 129-yard night. They discuss NFC West odds, Seattle’s legitimacy, and Darnold’s resurgence replacing DK Metcalf with new depth. The Commanders regress toward mediocrity while Jaden Daniels’ arm injury raises concern. Survivor pool chaos sees major eliminations with the Packers’ and Lions’ upsets, while Rams and Chargers deliver wins. In betting markets, downgrades hit Houston (due to C.J. Stroud’s possible injury), Green Bay after a shocking loss to Carolina, and Indianapolis after six turnovers against Pittsburgh, while the Chargers drop slightly with another lineman injury. Upgrades go to the Panthers, buoyed by Bryce Young’s steadiness and Rico Dowdle’s run game; the Vikings after upsetting Detroit behind J.J. McCarthy; and the Steelers’ steady improvement. The Bills’ win over Kansas City restores faith, though the Chiefs still own them in the playoffs, while Josh Allen edges into MVP favorite status despite Matthew Stafford’s impressive season and 17 TDs. The conversation shifts to Stafford’s elite play, Rams’ contention in the NFC West, and how the MVP race could open up beyond Allen or Mahomes. They preview Monday Night Football—Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys—where Jacoby Brissett replaces injured Kyler Murray. Munaf prefers Brissett’s current form, citing his efficient recent starts (275+ yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) and the Cowboys’ leaky defense, predicting a high-scoring shootout. Mackenzie notes the market swing from Cardinals +2.5 to +3.5 with Murray ruled out but leans to the under before conceding that both teams’ defenses point toward the over. Munaf and Mackenzie expect strong passing performances from both quarterbacks, with Brissett’s prop at 246.5 yards and Prescott’s at 266.5, supported by a trend of opposing QBs torching Dallas’ secondary. They propose a same-game parlay: both QBs 250+ yards, over 53.5 total, Cowboys -3.5, paying about +650. They plug Pregame.com’s SNAP15 promo for discounted picks and highlight Mackenzie’s NBA hot streak, encouraging listeners to grab his season-long NBA package. For best bets, Mackenzie takes the Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 over the Pacers, expecting regression for both teams, while Munaf’s top play is Brissett over 35.5 pass attempts, citing his prior games (44 and 36 attempts) and Arizona’s reliance on his arm. They close thanking listeners, teasing upcoming contest, survivor, and NBA pods, and expressing excitement for the rest of the NFL and NBA seasons. Learn more about your ad choices.

Best-bet segment: Ben picks Oregon (100-1) for its core of Nate Biddle and Jackson Steltzad plus CAA transfer T.K.

NBA Weekend Preview + Best Bets !!
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend. Munaf Manji welcomes listeners to RJ Bell’s Dream Preview NBA podcast, joined by analyst Mackenzie Rivers. With the NBA season underway, they discuss early trends—especially the surge in scoring and betting implications. Overs are hitting 61% and home underdogs 70%, leading Munaf to ask why points per game are the highest since 1962. Mackenzie notes three-point volume is up, referees are calling more fouls—26.5 free throws per game, the most since the mid-1990s—and speculates officiating emphasis or league marketing might be behind it. He jokes about NBA manipulation theories, suggesting higher scoring could benefit new TV deals on Peacock and Amazon. Munaf counters that books will adjust totals, asking when value shifts to unders. Mackenzie replies that even during record scoring years, overs end near 50%, so patience is key. They shift to team trends: early injuries are reshaping expectations. Indiana’s backcourt absences hurt them; Giannis, Davis, and others are banged up. Mackenzie discusses upgrades and downgrades from his model—boosting Milwaukee, Utah, and San Antonio. The Spurs’ start sparks talk of Victor Wembanyama, whom they call potentially the best 21-year-old ever, already dominant on both ends and evolving like a mix of Shaq’s power and Durant’s agility. Munaf highlights the excitement and the Spurs’ best-ever 5–0 start. They turn to Philadelphia, where Tyrese Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe have shined without Embiid or Paul George. Mackenzie tempers hype, saying Embiid must still be the centerpiece if they hope to contend. Despite that, the Sixers are upgraded and now third favorite in the East, though he keeps Boston slightly ahead. They discuss whether Paul George’s $51M salary should be moved or reintegrated, agreeing his best value remains in Philly if healthy. The East looks open, with the Knicks, Cavs, and Sixers as true contenders. Moving west, Mackenzie praises Denver’s load management strategy with Jokic’s reduced shot volume, calling it sustainable, and shares anecdotes about trust in coach David Adelman. For betting picks, Munaf and Mackenzie analyze upcoming matchups: Rockets vs. Celtics, where Mackenzie favors Houston as a small road favorite, seeing depth and efficiency improving despite early defensive lapses; Mavericks vs. Pistons in Mexico City, where Mackenzie leans Detroit due to stability and Dallas’s guard uncertainty without Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis; and Orlando vs. Washington, where Munaf’s best bet is Magic team total over 122.5, citing Washington’s poor defense and Orlando’s improving offense. Mackenzie’s best bet is Jazz +3 vs. Suns, arguing Utah’s underrated start and Phoenix’s inconsistency make the line mispriced. They close with Pregame.com promos—the Beat Dave Esler NBA contest with up to $1,000 in prizes and a TREAT15 code for discounts—and encourage listeners to subscribe, support, and check Mackenzie’s NBA model picks. Mackenzie jokes about his rough Octobers but strong finishes, promising better results as data builds. Munaf signs off wishing everyone luck cashing tickets and a great basketball weekend.
