- 0:18Hello, and welcome to episode 160 of the All Systems Go sports
- 0:24Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:27I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on, everyone?
- 0:34Happy Monday. A new week begins as we roll
- 0:37through the early portion here of November.
- 0:40Holiday season will be here before you know it, but boy, do
- 0:42we have a lot to talk about. On today's podcast.
- 0:45We're going to recap how the weekend went.
- 0:47Hope you had an epic Saturday like I did.
- 0:49I think you might have. But then also we're going to
- 0:51talk about all of our sweats for today, including a four pack.
- 0:55I have two plays here on Monday Night Football with the Dolphins
- 0:58and the Rams. I got to play on the total.
- 1:00I have a lean on the side and I have a player prop as well.
- 1:03Hoping this kind of supplementary or lesser known
- 1:06wide receiver can go over the receiving prop for us tonight.
- 1:09But then also we're going to look at 2 college basketball
- 1:12games tonight. Couple obscure sharp line moves,
- 1:15very low back games. One's a late night sweat, one's
- 1:18an added game extra game, but both have really sharp line
- 1:20moves. Hoping that we can get a couple
- 1:22winners here in college basketball.
- 1:24And then I know it's early, but I want to mention a couple NFL
- 1:27games for Week 11 that have already seen some line movement.
- 1:30And I'm thinking of one in particular that has a really
- 1:32good system. Match already has a good move
- 1:35and I'm thinking we should grab it now before it falls too much.
- 1:37So talk NFL sharp report early one for Week 11, two plays on
- 1:42Monday Night Football and two plays in college basketball.
- 1:46So 4 pack overall. Can we find a way to get three
- 1:49of them? That is the goal now looking
- 1:51back toward the weekend, not too bad guys.
- 1:53Hope everyone had a good weekend.
- 1:55Saturday was epic. 5 and O from our best bets on the pod here on
- 2:00Saturday plus 4 point O2 units. We had a great winner there in
- 2:03the UFC biting with our guy Charles Radke coming through
- 2:07with the TKO and then just a great day of college football.
- 2:10I mean, this was the situation where I've told you guys before,
- 2:15like my favorite angle in college football are very
- 2:17heavily bet games nationally televised where ideally the
- 2:21public is all over the road favorite.
- 2:23But the line moves toward the contrarian home dog.
- 2:26And we saw it come through epically over the weekend.
- 2:29Kansas with a huge winner, Ole Miss getting it done over
- 2:33Georgia and then Utah, even though Utah ended up losing the
- 2:36game by one point, they covered that number.
- 2:38In addition, we had Boston College, remember that was a - 1
- 2:41to -3 line move with a good rhythm system match.
- 2:44So sweeping the board on Saturday, that was fantastic.
- 2:48Sunday, two and two of our official bets -0.2 units.
- 2:52Houston Texans came through. I know people got a little antsy
- 2:55because that line tipped up to as high as 4/4 and 1/2, but if
- 2:58you got a four, maybe even got a 3 1/2, they end up losing on a
- 3:01field goal, so you cover the number.
- 3:02It's good to see some of these primetime contrarian dogs start
- 3:05to bark. Then the Patriots.
- 3:07I should have also played the under, the windy under, but took
- 3:09Pats in the points, then up, winning the game outright pretty
- 3:12easily. So Patriots covered for us Jets,
- 3:15Soj, same old jets, sharp line move, they get rolled, what do
- 3:19you know? And then the Chargers under that
- 3:21was annoying because we were pretty much going to sail under
- 3:24the whole time. And then there was a meaningless
- 3:26touchdown that absolutely meant nothing by the Titans with like
- 3:29a minute left to kill our under. Now you may have had an even
- 3:32better day because if you tune into the live stream, the Sunday
- 3:35Sweats edition, which is myself and James Santor or our buddy
- 3:40Sam Wagman filled in a couple weeks ago.
- 3:42Yesterday my buddy Adam Rosenberg joined the show, so we
- 3:45had a great hit with four and one with our top plays on the on
- 3:50the live stream. And you might have added the
- 3:52Denver Broncos. That was a late addition to me.
- 3:54I saw that Broncos line +98 and a half get down to 7 1/2, so
- 3:58that kind of fit the bill. Broncos were a late addition.
- 4:01I forgot to mention on Friday had another winning day.
- 4:03Three and 2 + 0.58 units. Remember, New Mexico came
- 4:07through, UCLA had San Diego as our revenge spot against BC.
- 4:12We lost with the Caps and the Pelicans.
- 4:13But since Friday, guys 10 and 4 + 4.38 units.
- 4:18Not too bad. Let's see if we can keep it
- 4:20rolling as we flip the calendar to a new week here.
- 4:23So I want to start off with NFL, of course, because this is the
- 4:26final game of NFL Week 10. Of course, big my football
- 4:29showdown here, and this one's interesting for a couple
- 4:32different reasons. So let's set the stage.
- 4:34I'll give you my lean on the side, I'll give you my official
- 4:37bet on the total and then I'll unveil the player prop for you.
- 4:40But going to this one, Dolphins at Rams 8:15 tonight, ESPN
- 4:44Dolphins come in two and six. They've dropped three straight.
- 4:46They just fell to the Bills 30 to 27, but did cover as a 6 1/2
- 4:50point Rd. dog. Meanwhile, the Rams go in the
- 4:53opposite direction. They're starting to turn it
- 4:54around 4:00 and 4:00. They've won three straight, just
- 4:57beat the Seahawks 26 to 20 in overtime, covering as a 2 point
- 5:01Rd. favorite. So what are we seen across the
- 5:03market here? Well, this game opened with a
- 5:05very early number of LA -1 at home.
- 5:08Now, that number did not stick around very long.
- 5:10It immediately got bet up to -2 1/2.
- 5:13And again, some people ask about like, what's a true opener?
- 5:15I think there's a couple things you want to do when it comes to
- 5:18football. There's going to be an opener
- 5:20that's available to bet pretty much coming out on Sunday when
- 5:23the games end. But then things there's going to
- 5:25be an adjustment. So there's a true opener in
- 5:27terms of what it literally opened at, what you could bet if
- 5:30you were just ready to go as soon as it was posted.
- 5:33Then there's kind of the what I would call the kind of consensus
- 5:36opener that will kind of, you know, take take shape within 24
- 5:40hours. So, for example, Rams were -1
- 5:43after the Rams had a big win over the Seattle Seahawks and
- 5:45the Dolphins lost but cover to the Bills, that immediately shot
- 5:48up to -2 1/2. So you blink your eye, it was
- 5:51already up to 2 1/2. But here's the thing.
- 5:53The public is all over the Rams tonight.
- 5:55The Rams are getting 75% of bets, but what's interesting is
- 5:59that this line really doesn't want to go to three.
- 6:01The odds makers, despite this heavy betting on the Rams, they
- 6:04don't want to go to three. That's notable to me because if
- 6:06you're getting 75% of bets, you're sitting -2 1/2, you
- 6:10should get up to -3 -, 3 1/2. That's normal movement, what you
- 6:14would expect with heavy lopsided betting in One Direction.
- 6:16Odds makers, theoretically we want to move the number toward
- 6:19the popular side, make you pay a more expensive price, but then
- 6:22also simultaneously put a better number to the opposite side to
- 6:26kind of entice some betting in that direction.
- 6:29That's not what's happened. This is pretty much stayed 2
- 6:311/2, even got down to 1 1/2 one about 3 or 4 days ago.
- 6:36So the fact that everyone's playing the Rams, the line won't
- 6:38go to three, you know, the true opener was closer to 1.
- 6:43I'm thinking the sharp value play here is Miami guys.
- 6:46Now, if you're playing Miami, there's kind of a couple things
- 6:49you're looking at one contrarian line freeze heavy betting Rams.
- 6:53You're contrarian and betting into the public by taking Miami
- 6:56line really hasn't moved off 2 1/2.
- 6:58So again, why isn't this line risen up as we mentioned
- 7:01further, despite being so popular, but then also classic
- 7:04buy low, sell high Miami on a three-game losing skid Rams on a
- 7:08three-game winning streak here. Obvious play.
- 7:10Public says give me the Rams, but typically you want to buy
- 7:13low on a team that isn't playing well and sell high on a team
- 7:16that is playing well. That's kind of the ultimate
- 7:18value play that data minded betters are always looking for.
- 7:22If you digging a little bit deeper here, the Dolphins are
- 7:26Rd. dog 48 and 41 against the spread Rd. dogs this year 54%.
- 7:30Prime time dogs on the road are 99 and 78 ATS, 56% since 2019,
- 7:37but not a huge deal. But Ron Torbert, the lead ref,
- 7:40is 57% ATS to the road team historically.
- 7:43And I think if you're playing Miami, like my lean here is
- 7:46Miami, I would look at it a couple ways. 1, you could buy it
- 7:50up to three. You could wait to see if it goes
- 7:52to three. If you want to buy it up, I
- 7:54would look toward a book like DraftKings.
- 7:56Like right now they're -2 1/2 -, 120 for the Rams.
- 8:00So Dolphins are plus 2 1/2 at plus 100.
- 8:03You could take Dolphins up to three at like -115 -, 120, You
- 8:08could wait, you could buy it up. Or I think it's a pretty good
- 8:10teaser opportunity. So if you look at the Rams -2
- 8:151/2 or in this case, Dolphins plus 2 1/2, you can do that long
- 8:18teaser. Miami plus 2 1/2 up to plus 8
- 8:211/2. You go through the three, you go
- 8:23through the seven. That could be worth a look.
- 8:25Tyree Kill, keep an eye on him. He's questionable.
- 8:28Will he play? Will he not play?
- 8:29We're going to hopefully get some clarity on that shortly.
- 8:32But Long story short, to me, it's Miami or nothing.
- 8:34I can't play the Rams because it's a very heavily back game.
- 8:38Everybody's playing Rams. The line really hasn't moved.
- 8:41You're basically, you know, buying a team at its highest
- 8:43point. To me it's either Miami or
- 8:46nothing. And I would mention, you know,
- 8:47last, you know, yesterday, yesterday in all the yesterday's
- 8:51results, you finally started to see that regression that we were
- 8:54hoping for is data-driven contrarian better.
- 8:56So you finally saw dogs perform well, nine and three against the
- 8:59spread yesterday. Unders were 8, three and one.
- 9:02Remember, we went through about a month of just favorites,
- 9:05popular plays, you know, overs flying over the books were
- 9:09getting crushed. No one's going to cry for the
- 9:10books. But I'm starting to again, get a
- 9:13little bit hopeful here that we're going to see that, that
- 9:16kind of vengeance from the dogs in the unders, which again,
- 9:19today would be a dog play, a very contrarian opportunity.
- 9:22So I lean Miami. I didn't play Miami because I
- 9:26like the total better. I'm going to give you my play
- 9:28here in a second, but I would go Miami or nothing and it's either
- 9:31bite up to three. You could just take the 2 1/2
- 9:33reduce juice if you want, you could tease them up, but to me
- 9:37it's Miami or nothing. I guess when you're betting on
- 9:39sports, at least know when you want to get down on something or
- 9:43layoff. That's always important.
- 9:45I'll mention this too though, on the Miami Feather in the cap
- 9:48rhythm. Our friends at Rhythm are
- 9:49predicting Miami plus 1.1. So again, even if you're only
- 9:53getting 2 1/2, there's some value there.
- 9:55So I lean and I'm going to be rooting for Miami as a very
- 9:58unpopular contrarian Rd. dog. Now, my official bet on this
- 10:01game is the under. I like the under in this one,
- 10:04guys. The total opened at 50.
- 10:06The public sees, you know, Rams can put up points, Dolphins can
- 10:09put up points. Public's going over.
- 10:12The over right now is getting 59% of bets.
- 10:15But what happened with the total?
- 10:16It's actually fallen 50 down to 48 1/2.
- 10:19Some books even creeping down to 48 now I found a book fanatics
- 10:23that was offering 49. So it's still available right
- 10:26now if you can get it. 49 kind of a key number of totals.
- 10:30Key number totals are obviously not nearly as important as with
- 10:32sides, but 49 you think about a, you know, 2623 game, 2722 game,
- 10:39you know, 2920 game. Like sometimes you do see that,
- 10:43you know, kind of come into play here.
- 10:45But fanatics I got the under 49. It's still available as of right
- 10:48now, but even under 48 1/2, I'll play that under it's contrarian
- 10:52public over yet totals dropping and then also high total unders.
- 10:56If you look at when the total is 48 or more this year, the under
- 10:59is 17 and 1357%. And if you look at prime time
- 11:05games when the total is 47 or more, the under is 26 and 1563%
- 11:10since 2022. So with Miami, again, still feel
- 11:14like that's the value play, but I like this under.
- 11:17I'm looking for a lower scoring game.
- 11:19By the way, rhythm is predicting a four 7.7 combined final score
- 11:24here or total, I should say. So with that in mind, I'm going
- 11:27with the under here. Guys, give me the under 48 1/2
- 11:31again, if you can find that 49, even better.
- 11:33Now with my player prop, as we like to do, often times focus
- 11:37on, you know, players that aren't quite as popular, maybe
- 11:40not your star receiver, but a backup or second or or third
- 11:43tier player. And I landed on DeMarcus
- 11:46Robinson, wide receiver for the Rams.
- 11:48I'm going to go Robinson over 27 1/2 receiving yards.
- 11:53Now, the important thing here is Fanduel's at 27 1/2.
- 11:56But this really goes to show you how these props can really vary
- 11:59in terms of their prices at different books.
- 12:01Like Fanatics is at 30 and a half, Caesar's at 29 1/2.
- 12:05Bet MGM is at 31 1/2. So that is a huge difference.
- 12:09I mean, FanDuel over 27 half, that's pretty good value.
- 12:12Now this, I'm not going to do this, but you know, I'll be an
- 12:16epic middle. You take over 27 1/2 FanDuel,
- 12:18you take under 31 1/2 Bet MGM. He lands anywhere 2829, 30 or
- 12:2331, you cash both. So that just came to mind.
- 12:26But I'm just playing the over 27 half of FanDuel and I'll give
- 12:29you guys a couple reasons why. DeMarcus Robinson, he has gone
- 12:33over this number in six of eight games this year.
- 12:35So he's six and two to the over. He had 6 catches for 94 yards
- 12:40last week against Seattle. He's second on the team and
- 12:43receiving yards. He's 3rd on the team and
- 12:44targets. I know Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup
- 12:47obviously are your star wideouts here and Jalen Ramsey's gonna
- 12:50shadow one of one or the other, but that could really benefit
- 12:54DeMarcus Robinson because if Nikua and Cup are kind of the
- 12:57emphasis in terms of who want who Miami wants to stop on
- 13:00defense, that leaves Robinson against, you know, second or
- 13:04third or fourth, you know, tier cornerback, nickel corner.
- 13:07That's a good match up that hopefully Robinson can can feast
- 13:10on. Also the game we played at a
- 13:12Dome or closed roof stadium. So perfect conditions, high
- 13:16total could expect some offense here.
- 13:18And then the cherry on top is our friends at Rhythm are
- 13:21predicting DeMarcus Robinson 33.7 receiving yards.
- 13:26So again, second tier guy, you definitely try to get that
- 13:29FanDuel number over 27 1/2. Let's see if you can get closer
- 13:32to 34. I'm going DeMarcus Robinson over
- 13:3627 1/2. Now over to some college hoops.
- 13:40I'll be honest, guys, there's a little bit of NHLA, little bit
- 13:42of NBA tonight. Nothing really grabbed me.
- 13:45But I did notice in college hoops, there were two games
- 13:47that, you know, right up our alley.
- 13:49And again, think back to Friday when we're talking about San
- 13:52Diego against Boston University. Why was that important?
- 13:55Because that's that angle that I love, that obscure added game,
- 13:59extra game, the game that no one cares about, the public doesn't
- 14:01care about. They can't even find it on their
- 14:03app. Yet if you see a line move in
- 14:05those games, they're very important because it tells you
- 14:08that even though the public doesn't care about that small,
- 14:10tiny match up, the wise guys do and they're moving the number.
- 14:14So the first one that caught my eye 6:00 tonight.
- 14:17This is on ESPN plus Stetson against citadel.
- 14:22Now this one's interesting for a couple reasons.
- 14:24One, it's an added game extra game game three O 662-730-6628.
- 14:30So add a game extra games just to rehash.
- 14:32They're hard to find on your app.
- 14:33You got to click added or extra that extra tab.
- 14:36They're hard to find for the betting public.
- 14:38Public doesn't care about these games.
- 14:39Six O clock is kind of a weird start time.
- 14:41This one is like really under the radar and it's very low bet,
- 14:45but we're seeing a very sharp line move on Citadel.
- 14:48This game opens Stetson listed as a very short one point Rd.
- 14:52favorite. And now we flipped all the way
- 14:54to citadel -2 1/2 - 3. So that is a huge dog to fave
- 14:59line move in favor of Citadel. Now I'm going to go money line
- 15:02here. I got Citadel at -150 again.
- 15:05I'm not going to lay a three, some looks even might might be
- 15:08creeping up to 3 1/2. But Leia three, win by one or
- 15:11two and lose, win by three and push.
- 15:13I'm more than willing. Even though I don't want to pay
- 15:15a more expensive price. I think it's worth it to get
- 15:18that added protection and the sweat's so much easier knowing
- 15:20that hey, let's just win the damn game instead of having to
- 15:23win by four or more. But anyway, got it -150 at
- 15:25FanDuel Bet MGM is -155 ESPN, Benton, Caesar's are like -170
- 15:30so of course, shop around. But dog to fave line move in
- 15:33favor of Citadel. They're only getting 45% bets
- 15:36but 64% of dollars. So good low bets, higher dollars
- 15:39bets split. Now I know both teams are one
- 15:42and one and you know it's a small sample size, but through
- 15:46two games, much better defense is Citadel.
- 15:49Citadel's only giving up 6262.5 points per game.
- 15:53Stetson's giving up 77 points per game.
- 15:56So hopefully Citadel's defense can come to play.
- 15:58And then also this is a bit of a schedule spot because it's the
- 16:03second straight home game for Citadel and this is your first
- 16:07true Rd. game for Stetson. So kind of a tough spot for
- 16:11Stetson. Again, home Rd. to me is really
- 16:13important in college. It's not as important in the
- 16:15pros because they're adults, they've been there, they've done
- 16:18that. Going on the road doesn't really
- 16:19faze them. 1819 year old college kids going on the road can be
- 16:23difficult, especially with the crowd going nuts and everything.
- 16:25So I lean a lot on home versus Rd.
- 16:28A little cherry on top here, Rhythm has a predicted final
- 16:32score of 75 to 72.5 in favor of the Citadel.
- 16:36So Rhythm has Citadel winning by 2 1/2 points.
- 16:40We've gone dog to fave in favor of Citadel.
- 16:42We got a good bet split. We have the better defense.
- 16:45We have a good schedule spot. My first bet tonight in college
- 16:48hoops. Added game, extra game, obscure
- 16:50line move system match. I'm on Citadel money line at
- 16:54-150 another very low back game. Late night sweat here. 9:30 PM
- 16:59Eastern Time, North Dakota State and Cal State Bakersfield, both
- 17:03teams again coming in one and one.
- 17:05Now this is not an added game, extra game.
- 17:07It's game 881882. But it's a very low bet late
- 17:11night game. And again, with a bunch of games
- 17:13today, I think there's like 30 games.
- 17:15This is just not an important one that people are are caring
- 17:18about. Also, it's going to be taking
- 17:20place smack dab in the middle of Monday Night Football.
- 17:22So, you know, who's going to say, oh, I really want to sweat
- 17:25Cal State Bakersfield, North Dakota State on a Monday Night
- 17:28Football game. No, this is just not a popular
- 17:30play. But again, same theory.
- 17:32Line moves in low back games are important because they're driven
- 17:35by respected vendors. So this game opened at roughly a
- 17:39pick em. Some shops open Cal State
- 17:41Bakersfield -1 I saw one book that opened, I want to say North
- 17:45Dakota State -1 So we'll split the difference.
- 17:48Call it a pick em game, but all movement has been on North Cal
- 17:52State Bakersfield. CS Bakersfield, they're taking
- 17:55in the money, they open again, pick them -1 now they're up to
- 17:59-3 so good sharp line move, good steam in their favor.
- 18:03Now Cal State Bakersfield is predicted to win by one point
- 18:06according to Ken Palm. So not a huge Ken Palm edge, but
- 18:09this is a money line play for me.
- 18:11Got him at -155 at FanDuel. But there's a big advantage
- 18:15here, hopefully offensively. If you look at defensively, both
- 18:18teams are about equal again through two games, both giving
- 18:22up around 69 points a game. But Cal State Bakersfield is
- 18:26averaging 98 points a game versus 82 for North Dakota
- 18:29State. So much better offense, bigger
- 18:32big advantage on the boards. They're averaging 48 rebounds a
- 18:35game versus 37 through the better field goal percentage.
- 18:38The other angle that I really like is rhythm is predicting Cal
- 18:42State Bakersfield -4.3. So that's a pretty good
- 18:46discrepancy. Again, at open pick them or -1
- 18:49ideally you would have money lined Cal State when they are
- 18:51close to -1 but even at -3 Rhythm's predicting them to win
- 18:55by 4.3, so still a good advantage there.
- 18:59And then also another schedule spot.
- 19:01This is the first true Rd. game for North Dakota State.
- 19:04This is the second straight home game for Cal State Bakersfield,
- 19:07so add it all up here guys. Late night 930 game ESPN plus
- 19:12line move has been all in favor of Cal State Bakersfield.
- 19:15Ken Palm edge, Rhythm edge stat categories and schedule spot
- 19:21match for Cal State. So I'm on Cal State Bakersfield,
- 19:24I got him at -156 at FanDuel. So Cal State Bakersfield and
- 19:28citadel on the money line under 4948 1/2 and one at football and
- 19:33DeMarcus Robinson over 27 and half receiving yards.
- 19:37Now before we finish up the pod, I wanted to look ahead to NFL
- 19:40Week 11. And boy is the NFL season flying
- 19:43by rarity Week 11. But there are a couple early
- 19:45games that caught my eye. The first one is my New England
- 19:50Patriots. Patriots at home against the
- 19:52Rams. Now the first thing you notice
- 19:54about this one is the immediate move was toward the Patriots.
- 19:58Now in lookhead spot where the very early opener you had the
- 20:01Rams on the road. It was a one O clock game.
- 20:04That's important. I'll get to that in a second.
- 20:06But open Rams around a -, 5 1/2 even -6 1/2 Rd. favorite.
- 20:11And the immediate move once the line dropped and was available
- 20:14to bet. All movement toward the
- 20:16Patriots. The Patriots are now down to
- 20:18plus 4 1/2. So the line has been quickly
- 20:20adjusted in favor of New England.
- 20:22Now the Patriots have a pretty good bet split as well.
- 20:26They're only getting 33% of bets, but 53% of dollars.
- 20:30So that's a really good low bets, higher dollars bets split
- 20:33tells us the bigger, sharper wagers on the Patriots and the
- 20:35points here. The other angle that I like is
- 20:38this is kind of a tough schedule spot for the Rams.
- 20:40The Rams, obviously you're playing tonight.
- 20:42Now they are on a short week, have to go cross country,
- 20:46California to New England. So long flight.
- 20:49And then also on a short week, of course.
- 20:52But then also, you know, this is kind of a classic spot for me to
- 20:55fade these West Coast teams going east for 1:00.
- 20:58Because if you think about it, you know, as a football player,
- 21:01you operate on a body clock. You know, you have a, you know,
- 21:04basically a car crash every Sunday.
- 21:06You know, you're stiff, you're sore for two or three days, then
- 21:08you start to feel better. And you're always programmed,
- 21:11you know, for kind of that that 1:00 start with the West Coast
- 21:14team going east, especially on a short week like the Rams here
- 21:18because they got to play tonight, a 1:00 game in New
- 21:20England, it's going to feel like a 10 AM start for West Coast
- 21:24players here. So I always like fading West
- 21:26Coast teams going east for an early kick off.
- 21:29It just screws up your body clock.
- 21:30You just you kind of feel off. You're maybe not ready to go,
- 21:33maybe you're groggy, maybe you're jet lag, something like
- 21:35that. So that's a way another angle to
- 21:38fade the Rams. But then also you do have a dog
- 21:40low total. This total is 43 1/2.
- 21:42Patriots are getting 4 1/2 here. Also, if you want to tease up
- 21:47New England plus 4 1/2 to plus 10 1/2, you're able to go
- 21:50through a couple key numbers there with the seven and the 10.
- 21:53And then other angle here is, hey, I'm holding the under 4 1/2
- 21:56win total with New England. They had a big win against the
- 21:59Bears and I'm starting to see this team kind of believe in
- 22:02Drake May. He's playing really well.
- 22:05You know, he's kind of showing himself to be a true leader.
- 22:07I think the arrow is kind of pointing up on New England here.
- 22:09So maybe my under 4 1/2 win total is in trouble because
- 22:12they've now won three games. But I hope they can cover this
- 22:15spot. And the line move is toward the
- 22:17Patriots. I'm actually putting this in
- 22:19right now. I got the Patriots plus 4 1/2
- 22:22this Sunday against the Rams. The other game that caught my
- 22:25eye, Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos.
- 22:28Quick adjustment here and line move in favor of the Denver
- 22:31Broncos. Now you saw this line open.
- 22:33Look ahead as high as like Atlanta, favored by I saw some
- 22:37look at it like -2 -, 3 -, 1 1/2.
- 22:41The immediate adjustment was toward Denver.
- 22:43Now we're seeing the Denver Broncos flip dog to favorite
- 22:46very quickly getting a point or two now laying -1 1/2.
- 22:51The Denver Broncos are also a 5050 bet split, so bet splits
- 22:55are right down the middle. Public doesn't know where to go.
- 22:57I know it's early in the week, public tends to bet later in the
- 23:00week, but 5050 yet this line's going to Denver.
- 23:04Denver's also getting 60% of spread of spread dollars.
- 23:07So good low bets, higher dollars bet split and it's not really a
- 23:10schedule spot, but I like Denver as a short favorite typically
- 23:15with that altitude advantage in terms of the Mile High because
- 23:19it's always tough for Atlanta, you know, lower sea level Dome
- 23:23team going out in the elements to Colorado where again, you're
- 23:26getting some some some rarefied air.
- 23:29Denver Broncos are used to it. The Atlanta Falcons are not.
- 23:32That's an advantage, especially as a non conference favorite in
- 23:35favor of the Broncos. So I'm looking at Broncos here,
- 23:37guys. I don't think there's any reason
- 23:38to bet it right now unless maybe it gets up to two or continues
- 23:42to rise. But still, this is going to be a
- 23:43money line play for me. You could consider playing it
- 23:45now. I would just hate to see maybe
- 23:47some buyback and if it drops because we don't know where it's
- 23:50going to go next. But if it comes back closer to a
- 23:52pick, I don't want to be laying like -120 right now -125 if
- 23:57within three or four days, maybe it's down to -115 So let's put a
- 24:01pin in the Broncos. But looks pretty sharp early dog
- 24:04to fave in favor of Denver. Now the big one, the most
- 24:08heavily back game. It won't be as heavily bad as
- 24:10the Sunday Night Football game, but 425 maybe it's an AFC
- 24:14championship game showdown. Kansas City and Buffalo.
- 24:18Now the first thing you got to know about this one is Buffalo's
- 24:20favored by 2 1/2 at home. Why is that important?
- 24:24Because the Chiefs would be a Patrick Mahomes dog play.
- 24:27Patrick Mahomes has a dog 12 and one against the spread in his
- 24:30career. Andy Reid as a dog, 68% ATS as a
- 24:33dog in his career. So if you want to blindly take
- 24:36the 2 1/2 with Kansas City, I can't argue with you.
- 24:39Kansas City has been incredible as a dog, but I, I am leaning my
- 24:44instincts toward Buffalo here because this looks like it's
- 24:47going to be an epic fade. The trendy dog play now.
- 24:49Right now it's 5050 down the middle that split.
- 24:53But remember, this game opened, if you didn't notice, it opened
- 24:56at around a -, 1 Buffalo or even like a -, 1 on the road Kansas
- 25:00City. So all the money that flowed in
- 25:03as soon as this line was available to bet has been on
- 25:05Buffalo. So we're seeing Buffalo again -1
- 25:08+ 1. Pick them up to 2 1/2.
- 25:11It is a low bets higher dollar. 70% of dollars are on Buffalo.
- 25:15To me, this is a play where again, you love taking Kansas
- 25:18City as a dog, but looks like the early movement is toward
- 25:21Buffalo. So again, I'm going to put a pin
- 25:23in this one as well. Let's just see how it
- 25:24progresses, you know, over the next, you know, few days here,
- 25:29but that one caught my eye because this line early move is
- 25:32toward the Buffalo Bills, also Cincinnati and the Chargers.
- 25:36This is a Sunday Night Football game and I noticed one thing
- 25:39very early in this one. You are now -1 for the Chargers
- 25:44at home. I want to say some books.
- 25:46Open -1 1/2 - 2. It's down to one.
- 25:50This line has moved a little bit towards Cincinnati, but I took
- 25:53one look at the bet splits and the Bengals are getting 81% of
- 25:56spread bets. Excuse me.
- 25:58So if this continues to be a Sunday Night Football game where
- 26:02the Chargers remain a short favorite and everyone's taking
- 26:04Joe Burrow as a dog, I'm wondering if we're going to get
- 26:07a buy low money line play to back the Chargers in this spot.
- 26:11So again, that's just important to me because you're a Sunday
- 26:13night favorite that's only getting as of right now, 19% of
- 26:18spread bets. So that's a that's a contrarian
- 26:20favorite opportunity. So again, just a few games here
- 26:23early on that caught my eye again, Patriots with a sharp
- 26:27line move, Denver Broncos, Buffalo with those sharp line
- 26:31move. And will the Chargers be an epic
- 26:33Sunday Night Football contrarian play?
- 26:36So that about does it as we just wet the whistle.
- 26:38Had a couple glances here at the slate upcoming for this week in
- 26:42the NFL. But first is First things first.
- 26:45We got to get through Monday at Football tonight.
- 26:47But as always, guys, this is part of the pod where we wrap
- 26:49things up. And I start by asking a favor of
- 26:52you. Could you please do me a solid,
- 26:54do me a favor, make my day by helping me to grow this podcast
- 26:58as we can hopefully reach out to more and more average Joe
- 27:01regular betters who love betting maybe aren't winning the way
- 27:05they want. They're realizing betting is
- 27:07very difficult. It's not as easy as they might
- 27:09have thought it was, but there is a method to the madness, the
- 27:12data-driven model. So if you wanna do me a favor
- 27:15and help me grow the pod, there's one thing you can do.
- 27:17You can just quickly and easily give this podcast a five star
- 27:20review. If you're listening on Spotify
- 27:22or iTunes, go to rate and review, give it five stars.
- 27:25It would mean a lot to me. Help us to grow the pod, rise up
- 27:28the charts, gain some more listens and follows.
- 27:31If you want to click that follow button, that way you get alerted
- 27:33as soon as the pod drops each day, that'll be great.
- 27:36And if you want to leave a nice review or recommend it to a
- 27:40friend, word of mouth is always great as well.
- 27:42But again, A5 star review would go a long way on Spotify or
- 27:45iTunes. Secondly, if you enjoy this
- 27:48podcast, you look forward to the breakdowns because again, you've
- 27:52learned to embrace the data-driven model and now you
- 27:54want to learn more about data-driven betting.
- 27:57Well, guess what? I wrote a book and I would love
- 27:59for you guys to pick up a copy. If you just want to support the
- 28:02team, gift it to a friend or buddy or colleague.
- 28:05Give it as a stocking stuffer as the holidays aren't that far
- 28:07away. But if you want to go to
- 28:09Amazon.com and type in the everything guide to sports
- 28:12betting, that's my book. All you got to do is type that
- 28:16in. You can also go to Barnes and
- 28:17Noble. It's available there as well.
- 28:19But it's really got everything I've learned in the industry.
- 28:21And remember, I started off, you know, just like everyone else
- 28:24does, as a public better. I was in my, you know, very
- 28:27early 20s betting with my friends.
- 28:29We would always take the Red Sox, the Patriots, the Bruins,
- 28:32the Celtics. We'd parlay everything.
- 28:34I didn't really ever win, but I love the sweat.
- 28:36I fell in love with betting and I realized betting with my head
- 28:40or sorry, betting with my heart, playing my favorite teams,
- 28:42that's not a recipe for success. But I learned to read the
- 28:45market, which has really changed everything for me.
- 28:47So my book, the Everything Guide to Sports Betting, it's all
- 28:49about how to read the market in order to make sharp bets, how to
- 28:53go contrarian, how to read line movement, how to identify smart
- 28:56money, how to set up a bankroll management plan, chapters on all
- 29:00the major sports, how to place a bet in person or online.
- 29:02It's all included in the Everything Guide to Sports
- 29:04Betting. So pick one up and again, I
- 29:07will, I'll sign it for you and I'll buy you a beer if you bring
- 29:09it to the book. But that about does it
- 29:11everybody. One last thing or a couple last

- 30:44description of the podcast. For example, it'll say something
- 30:48like in episode 160, Josh dishes out A5 pack or 4 pack of sweats
- 30:53for it. Today, Sunday for NFL preview
- 30:55for Week 11. OK, Scroll below that.

- 31:02way. Now to wrap things up, as
- 31:05always, whether I see you at the Borgata in Atlantic City, Twin
- 31:09River in Rhode Island, the Brook of New Hampshire, Foxwoods or
- 31:11Mohegan Sun down in Connecticut, at the Encore in Boston, or
- 31:14Plain Ridge Park Casino or MGM Springfield.
- 31:17In my neck of the woods in Massachusetts.
- 31:18Or out in the desert where the true grinders get down.
- 31:21Or Billy Walter sends his number runners with lowest 2 as
- 31:23possible is found at the South Point.
- 31:25Or sweat and sharp contrarian plays jumping in the stadium
- 31:27swimming pool. When you catch a big ticket at
- 31:29Circa, wherever it may be, you're going to show me some
- 31:32nice winters over the last few days.
- 31:34Show me from Friday, New Mexico, UCLA, San Diego.
- 31:38How about A5 and O Saturday BC, Kansas, Ole Miss, Utah UFC Radke
- 31:43biting. How about the Houston Texans
- 31:45covering the number the patriots?
- 31:47Maybe you added the Denver Broncos, maybe added a couple
- 31:50player props like Breece Hall or Cortland Sutton overs from the
- 31:53live stream. But guess what guys first one's
- 31:55on me, next one's on you. We're going to post about the
- 31:57book. Sweat some sharp contrane place
- 31:59together. So, as always, remember whether
- 32:02we're running hot, whether we're ice cold, whether up, whether
- 32:05we're down, whether we're treading water.
- 32:07The model never changes. If we can consistently bet games
- 32:10with our head and not our heart by reading and interpreting the
- 32:12market, we'll be all right. So as always, stay sharp, stay
- 32:16contrary and bet against the public.
- 32:17Place yourself on the side of the house.
- 32:19Always be with the smart money, never against it.
- 32:21We'll smart money when every time.
- 32:23Unfortunately not because sports betting is difficult.
- 32:25Weird things happen. Razor sharp lines, the odds
- 32:28maker said. We got to overcome the juice.
- 32:30A player can screw up for us, so a ref can make a bad call.
- 32:34But here's the thing, anything can happen in a one off.
- 32:36But if we consistently stay true to that model long term bet with
- 32:39our head and not our heart, against the public, with the
- 32:42house, with the pros, flat bat, avoid parlays and get that CLV.
- 32:46If we can do that, and I'm confident that we can guess what
- 32:49we're going to be successful sports betters.
- 32:51So enjoy the sweats everyone. Hope you had a great weekend.
- 32:53Let's see if we can have a good night here to kick off a new
- 32:56week in November. I'll best of luck.
- 32:58Have a great Monday night and as always, we'll be back at it
- 33:00tomorrow for a big episode 161 of the All systems go sports
- 33:05betting podcast powered by rhythm.
- 33:08Good luck everybody, enjoy Monday Night Football.
