Latest / Nate's Daily Wager / Nate's NFL Week 8 and EPL Wager 1026
Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:21October 26th, 2025 and well, got to win yesterday.
- 0:26That was nice. Little bit of a sweat early on,
- 0:29but as I was expecting, as I was hoping, BYU took over late, shut
- 0:34him down in the fourth quarter, put up some points, took it to
- 0:37the bank, covered and won out, right.
- 0:40So sprinkle worked, points worked, everything worked out
- 0:43for us. So that's positive.
- 0:44All right. So it's good to be back on the
- 0:46winning side of things. See if we can keep that momentum
- 0:49going, looking at some NFL football, of course, today
- 0:52because you know, it's Sunday in the fall, which reminds me, I
- 0:55gotta get this done, go out, get some leaves raked before the
- 0:591:00 starts. I think there's a 9:00 AM game.
- 1:01But you know, I mean, anybody really watched that?
- 1:03So anyways, I'm looking down South at this Texans 49ers
- 1:09matchup. If there was ever any evidence
- 1:11that wins are not a quarterback stat, it's what the 49ers have
- 1:15been doing, right? Because it ain't that bag of
- 1:17milk Mac Jones that's been keeping them afloat since Brock
- 1:20Purdy's been out. Yet they're still getting the
- 1:22wins. And I'm looking at this, I'm
- 1:24seeing the line. They have the Texans favored.
- 1:27I know the Texans are at home, but you just look at their
- 1:29recent body of work and this seems like a no brainer to me,
- 1:32even though it is Mac Jones sitting at QB and I know Bose is
- 1:36out. But still, I look at these two
- 1:37teams, I see what they've been doing and I say 49ers probably
- 1:42going to win this one and I'm getting points.
- 1:44I feel like I'm almost in the exact same spot I was yesterday
- 1:47with BYU, right? I'm going to get 2 1/2 points
- 1:49and I want to sprinkle the money line because that's how I think
- 1:53it's going to go. Now it is the NFL.
- 1:55So all of this could just be go the exact opposite way.
- 1:57Who knows? But that's what I'm feeling.
- 1:59That's my analysis, that's what I'm doing.
- 2:01That's what the gut says. That's where we're going.
- 2:03So we're going San Francisco 49ers plus 2 1/2 against the
- 2:08doubt that the Houston, Houston Texans in today's NFL football
- 2:13action. See anything better than that?
- 2:14Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:16to it. And Viddy's back.
- 2:19He's going to give you another winner and gaffer, then try to
- 2:21get back on track. Get you some more money, boys.
- 2:24Give him what you got. Ladies and gentlemen, the gaffer
- 2:27is back with you all. It's the English Premier League
- 2:30Sunday slate, the winning streak has come to an end.
- 2:34Couldn't get that Liverpool and Man United match up last week.
- 2:39That's OK, we're going to dust ourselves off, get back at it.
- 2:42We got a couple games going on right now.
- 2:44Man City's getting taken to the woodshed by the villains right
- 2:47now. Well, not really woodshed, it's
- 2:49one nil, but still. Arsenal's also got their game in
- 2:52hand. One nil.
- 2:53They're trying to get to the top of the tip or stay at the top of
- 2:56the table. We got a better game though.
- 2:58Later on we got Everton hosting the Spurs, we got 2 new managers
- 3:03at the helm there, We got David Moyes going back to Everton for
- 3:06like the seventh time or something like that.
- 3:08He's got the Everton Evertonians playing better and we got Thomas
- 3:12Frank new at the helmet. The Spurs after Angepost Chicago
- 3:16took them to the European Cup title last year.
- 3:19We're going to get a draw today in these two squads.
- 3:21Everton's playing at home, they're going to play pretty
- 3:23good and the Spurs are going to try to get their best foot
- 3:26forward. But it's going to be a draw.
- 3:28Are the team's going to not like it?
- 3:30It's going to be one point for each.
- 3:32Good luck. You're going to do that you.
- 3:34It's called so many. It's Week 8 and we're back in
- 3:37the win column looking to build some momentum here back-to-back
- 3:41wins incoming loading. So keep listening and I'll give
- 3:45you the pick. But first, let's talk about Week
- 3:478. Man, there's a lot of injuries.
- 3:52Let's just start with the slate of games here and go through
- 3:55these. Miami going into Atlanta got
- 3:58Kirk Cousins playing Drake. London might be out.
- 4:02Chicago, Baltimore, you know they're not Even so Mars out.
- 4:07I'm not even touching that. Caroline don't have Bryce Young
- 4:11playing against Buffalo. I I don't want to touch that.
- 4:14Cincinnati's on the backup quarterback.
- 4:17Purdy's out going to Houston. You look at even even Tampa Bay,
- 4:23who's going into New Orleans, they're without like half their
- 4:26offense or without Evans, Godwin, Bucky, just injuries all
- 4:32over the place and just a lot of stay away game for Cousin Vinny.
- 4:36But one game that I have kind of circled.
- 4:38I think it's going to be both a good game to watch and a good
- 4:40opportunity for some value here is that Dallas, Denver match up
- 4:45and Mile High Stadium. And what we're looking at here
- 4:48is probably going to be a shootout and also interesting
- 4:50kicking games. The first time that the Cowboys
- 4:53kicker Brandon Aubrey is going to be kicking in high altitude.
- 4:56So Cousin Vinny was scouring the books but could not find any
- 4:59prop bets on distances on overs for for Aubrey.
- 5:03So if you see anything come up on pop up on that, I'd sprinkle
- 5:06a little bit on it for fun. But for my official lock of the
- 5:09week, we're going to take the Cowboys.
- 5:12A couple things here. Denver's been off to a slow
- 5:16start and had a couple heart attack finishes, a couple big
- 5:18comeback, including what is a record comeback against the the
- 5:22Giants. Congratulations.
- 5:23But still, it was against the Giants and you know a comeback
- 5:28that Cousin Vinny does not want to remember that against the
- 5:31Eagles. Well, let me just say something.
- 5:33I think Denver's a decent team and I think Bo Nicks has a cool
- 5:36sounding name, but I don't think they're a true Super Bowl
- 5:39contender. And I do think they skated out
- 5:41both those games kind of lucky and they're probably not as good
- 5:43as their five and two record suggests.
- 5:46Meanwhile, the Cowboys, as much as I hate to say it, Cowboys can
- 5:50really score points. The one thing that I'm banking
- 5:52on by picking the Cowboys, getting 3 1/2 points in this
- 5:55game, the Cowboys, like the Eagles, like the Giants, can get
- 6:00out and get a big lead on Denver early in the game.
- 6:05And that's been a trend for Denver.
- 6:06It's just playing terrible for 3/4 or for at least half the
- 6:09game and then turning it on enough with enough time to
- 6:12salvage a win. And so I think you can only get
- 6:15away so many weeks in a row and so many games doing that, and
- 6:18eventually it's going to burn you.
- 6:23And why I think the Cowboys are going to win this game outright,
- 6:26which if you're a money line guy, it's sitting at plus 154 or
- 6:30something around there. I think there's a lot of value
- 6:33in that 3 1/2 points. And I always love getting that
- 6:36extra half point over 3 because even if Denver is able to claw
- 6:42back or the game script doesn't go as planned, I love having
- 6:45that half point. And I do think the Cowboys can
- 6:47move the ball even if they were to be behind and at least keep
- 6:50it close within a field goal. So we're going to officially
- 6:54lock in the Cowboys getting 3 1/2 points going in a Mile High
- 6:59Stadium and having some success there for the first time in a
- 7:01very long time. And for fun, if you can find
- 7:04your local book, we'll take any action on Brandon Aubrey.
- 7:07I'd also pound that. So Week 8, lock of the week,
- 7:11Cowboys plus 3 1/2 points. Take it to the bank, lock it up.
- 7:16This cousin Vinnie, we'll see you next week for Week 9.
