Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to nature daily wager. I ain't picking winners but I am
- 0:10making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20January 10th, 2026. And well, I was wrong last
- 0:26night, but it was a good kind of wrong.
- 0:28The wrong where? Thought it was going to be
- 0:30close, but it was an ass kicking and on the good side.
- 0:33Or that is I was on the good side of the ass kicking.
- 0:37So Indiana went out there to care business in a big way.
- 0:41Like I said, I was really expecting that to be close.
- 0:44I was not. Seeing that from the Hoosiers
- 0:46makes me excited. See this game next week with the
- 0:50EU and the I and tell you, the way Indiana's playing, they're
- 0:55going to, you's going to have to get Ray Lewis dressed up and
- 0:59maybe have him bring his knife too, because Indiana's looking
- 1:02like a jutter knot man. So all right, get that win
- 1:05today. We got the Pro Football.
- 1:07We got the games that count right.
- 1:09This is win or go home. Vinny, he's coming up next.
- 1:13He's taking care of the early game.
- 1:14I'm looking at this game up north.
- 1:17Classic Packers, Bears match up crappy weather.
- 1:21But here's the thing. Weather isn't going to be as bad
- 1:23as everybody thought it was going to be.
- 1:25Yeah, there was snow this morning.
- 1:26There's going to be snow late, going to be a little bit of rain
- 1:29in the afternoon, but it looks like it's actually going to
- 1:31clear up right around game time ish.
- 1:34The wind is really dying down. So that's not going to be as
- 1:37gusty. It's not going to be the just
- 1:39the win the run game as I think everybody was thinking and look,
- 1:43Bears like giving up points. Bears like scoring points,
- 1:46Packers like scoring points. They have at times prevented
- 1:50people from scoring points, but their defense has really been
- 1:52sagging. So I think this might end up a
- 1:55pretty good shootout. And looking at this over, it
- 1:58looks like I'm getting a discount on the vague.
- 2:00So I think everything's lining up for me to take that over.
- 2:03So that's what I'm going to do. It's currently sitting at 45
- 2:061/2. That looks just fine for me.
- 2:082424 getting or getting 24 out of each of these teams I see is
- 2:12totally possible. That gets us to 48.
- 2:14One's a little short, one's a little long.
- 2:16We get there. So we're going over 45 1/2 total
- 2:21points between the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears in
- 2:24tonight's NFLNFCN Wild Card football action.
- 2:29Is anything better than that? Pound it.
- 2:30That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
- 2:32Vinny, give him your shot. It's called Vinny.
- 2:36It's Wild Card Weekend Saturday, bonus edition.
- 2:41Usually I just come with you on Sunday, but today you're coming
- 2:44for the ride with me on Saturday as well.
- 2:47There's nothing like Wild Card Weekend.
- 2:49We got two games today, we got games tomorrow, we got games on
- 2:53Monday, and we're fired up. So on today's slate of games
- 2:57here, there's one game I really like cousin, and he just
- 3:00absolutely loves, loves the Carolina Panthers.
- 3:04And yeah, I got to admit, that sounds crazy out loud.
- 3:08I love the Carolina Panthers. If you would have told me a year
- 3:11ago that I love the Carolina Panthers against the LA Rams, I
- 3:15would have told you you're crazy.
- 3:17But but hear me out here. Hear me out here.
- 3:20Carolina is a 10 point dog today.
- 3:25That's right, a 10 point dog. That's definitely the biggest
- 3:29home dog in the playoffs that I remember in recent memory.
- 3:33The question is, is it warranted?
- 3:35Is are they really a 10 point dog?
- 3:38Cousin Vinny says they are definitely 1000% gonna cover the
- 3:4410 points. Let's not forget that these
- 3:47Carolina Panthers did in fact beat LA in week 4IN week 13 and
- 3:53ended their six game-winning streak.
- 3:56What did they do? What was the formula?
- 3:58Well they pounded the rock, they wore down L as defense and they
- 4:01used a running game to set up a passing game which which Bryce
- 4:05Young had his best game of his career with a 1147 QB rating
- 4:11that day. All right, so they know the
- 4:14formula to beat LA. And this is arguably A weaker LA
- 4:18team than they faced in Week 13, who was hot, had winners in the
- 4:23last six straight. Now they're facing an LA team
- 4:26that well has a defense that's kind of faded down the stretch
- 4:30who's average giving up 28 points per game in the last 6.
- 4:34And while I think the Rams lead today was a win, I kind of think
- 4:38they do. They're definitely not going to
- 4:40cover the 10 points. And so if you want easy money
- 4:43here, take the Carolina Panthers, a 10 point home dog to
- 4:49open up the wild card weekend. And if and if you're feeling a
- 4:53little risk, a little frisky today, a little frisky, I
- 4:56sprinkle just a little bit on that Carolina Panthers money
- 5:01line at plus 420 because why not live on the edge?
- 5:05Just sprinkle a little bit. You might thank me later.
- 5:08So until tomorrow, Wild card weekend Sunday.
- 5:11This is because of any with your luck of the week.
