Transcript
- 0:18Hello, and welcome to episode 122 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 Wednesday. We are halfway through our work
- 0:37week, guys. Only one more day until we get
- 0:40football back in our lives. I'm already looking at the
- 0:42Patriots and The Jets for tomorrow night as well as South
- 0:46Alabama, Appalachian State. Stay tuned.
- 0:49I'm going to give you some early thoughts.
- 0:51One game, I like the movement, but it's a little public.
- 0:54The other game, I love the movement and it's very
- 0:56contrarian. So stay tuned for an early look
- 0:59ahead for some games for tomorrow.
- 1:01Now looking toward today, guys, I am just going to have one bet
- 1:04for you. It's going to be a Major League
- 1:05Baseball bat, so stay tuned for that.
- 1:08And I'll tell you in a second why I am very careful and not
- 1:11gonna bang my head against the wall with MLB because I think
- 1:14it's hard to bet right now if you have not been betting all
- 1:17season long. It's very, very difficult in
- 1:20terms of weight down the stretch, a lot of volatility,
- 1:23you know, a lot of weird things happening.
- 1:25So I do have one baseball bet for you today.
- 1:27But then also we're going to do a lot of continued homework and
- 1:31continuing to build our portfolio for this upcoming
- 1:34weekend for college and NFL. So obviously on the pod, I want
- 1:38to not just talk about, you know, the games on the day of
- 1:40the game, but talk about them earlier in the week, identify
- 1:43some games that catch our eye and then maybe put in a couple
- 1:46bets throughout the week and hopefully get good numbers set
- 1:49by the time Saturday rolls around for college or Sunday
- 1:52rolls around. NFL.
- 1:53We already have a couple games in pocket where we have some
- 1:55closing line value. So that is the goal.
- 1:57So I already had one game in pocket with a bet in the NFLI
- 2:01added another one today. I'll tell you what that is.
- 2:03And there's several games I'm monitoring right now with some
- 2:06very interesting movement as well as another college game
- 2:09that I added to the list here. That just happens to be the
- 2:12number one contrarian play of the week.
- 2:14This dog at home is only getting 13% of spread bets.
- 2:18So we'll be talking about it all on today's edition of the All
- 2:21Systems Gopod episode 122. One baseball game and a lot of
- 2:25legwork, homework, research, whatever you want to call it.
- 2:28A lot of updates here with college and pro for this
- 2:30weekend. Now looking back toward last
- 2:32night, 1 and 3 -, 2.1 units. Now we were able to get a WNBA
- 2:37play. It was funny.
- 2:39I had some people DM me and say you're really betting WNBA
- 2:41again. What is wrong with you?
- 2:43Well, I'm glad we did. Got a winner there with the
- 2:45Mercury and the Sparks over 163 1/2, landed 167.
- 2:49I thought we were in for a lot of trouble in the first quarter
- 2:52when they only scored 28 points. The way I look at it is, hey,
- 2:55totals around 160. We need at least 40 a quarter.
- 2:58I'm like, oh great. I think at one point it was like
- 2:59a four to four-game halfway through the first quarter, but
- 3:02luckily they turned it on. We're able to cash that over.
- 3:05Remember our friends at Rhythm, we're predicting I believe 168.4
- 3:08maybe. So they're literally almost
- 3:10right on the dot there. So we got a WNBA winner.
- 3:13But man, baseball last night was so freaking frustrating.
- 3:17The Atlanta Braves jump out to a 5 to one lead, they blow it and
- 3:21lose 6:00 to 5:00. So that one hurt.
- 3:23The Red Sox had a 2 nothing lead, then a blowing it late
- 3:26losing 8 to 3. Guardians threatened multiple
- 3:28times come up short against the Twins.
- 3:30So overall guys 1 and 3 -, 2.1 units baseball right now.
- 3:35I kind of alluded to it to start the pod, but I just feel like
- 3:38man, it is just it is hard to cap baseball correctly and you
- 3:42see this and really not just all season long.
- 3:44I feel like we've had a good year betting baseball, but
- 3:46anytime you get to the end of a season, same thing with the the
- 3:49early part of a season. Weird things happen,
- 3:52unpredictable situations. Last night was brutal and told
- 3:55me, hey, maybe it's a good reason why I'm focusing my
- 3:58attention more to football and less on baseball.
- 4:00So only one baseball game for today, but remember we are going
- 4:03to have the playoffs here before you know it and playoffs are a
- 4:07great time with betting system matches and going contrarian and
- 4:10sharp line move. So if you want to dial it back
- 4:12like I'm dialing it back with baseball because last night was
- 4:15almost the last straw for me seeing 33 favorites all lose
- 4:19with the dogs barking against them.
- 4:22Then I think it's not a bad idea again to dial back and get ready
- 4:25for the postseason. So for today, 1 baseball game, a
- 4:28bunch of college and NFL updates, and I'll also mention
- 4:32tonight one reason why I decided not to force too many baseball
- 4:36bats because it's really only baseball today, is that I'm
- 4:38going to Post Malone at Fenway Park tonight.
- 4:41That's right, I'm a huge Post Malone fan.
- 4:43I'm not a big country fan, but I got to admit he just released
- 4:46his country album and I love every single song on the album.
- 4:49So it's my first concert at Fenway Park.
- 4:52I've been meaning to see a concert at Fenway.
- 4:55We'll be driving in for Post Malone, me and me and the wifey
- 4:58probably going to get some food around, maybe game on or cask
- 5:01and flag in or maybe the maybe the Bleacher bar.
- 5:06But I'm very much looking forward to seeing Post Malone at
- 5:08Fenway tonight. So if you're in Boston, you're
- 5:10like me and a lot of people go on the show.
- 5:12If you're around, maybe, yeah, maybe you can, I don't know, see
- 5:15me on, DM me on Twitter and maybe we'll get a beer together.
- 5:18But any Post Malone fans out there, I know you're jealous.
- 5:21I'm seeing them tonight at Fenway.
- 5:23With that being said, let's get into our sweats here for today,
- 5:26guys. Only one of them.
- 5:27But this is a game that really, it was screaming at me not only
- 5:30to cash our win total, maybe it's win total Wednesday, but
- 5:33just a sharp early bet that I wanted to mention.
- 5:36The only one I'll be sweating today and then we'll get all to
- 5:38all of our football breakdowns here.
- 5:40But you guys know who it is, The Snakes, the Arizona Cardinals,
- 5:44sorry, not the Cardinals, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
- 5:47They have been sitting on 83 wins for a little bit here.
- 5:52They remember we played him in the first game of the series.
- 5:54They lost three to two. I didn't play him last night.
- 5:56They lost 8:00 to 2:00. So this is the final game of the
- 5:59series. They're maybe going to get swept
- 6:01here against Colorado, who's a terrible team, but I don't think
- 6:04so. I'm going to play them to win
- 6:05today. I got them at -165 on the money
- 6:08line and I'm going to hope that we double up here with a win for
- 6:11today and a win for the over 83 and half win total.
- 6:14But anyway, of all the games say, why did I pick this one?
- 6:18Well, good sharp steam move. Let's talk 1st about the
- 6:20pitching matchup. We have a couple lefties on the
- 6:22bump. It's important because we'll get
- 6:24to it here in a second in terms of how both these teams hit
- 6:27lefties, Big advantage to the snakes, but Arizona is going to
- 6:30go with Eduardo Rodriguez. Two and three, 5.5 O ERA started
- 6:34great, hasn't been as good recently.
- 6:37He'll be opposed by Austin Gomber, who's 5 and 10 with a
- 6:404.44 ERA. What are we seeing across the
- 6:43market, though? I want to mention first, this is
- 6:44a 3:10 PM Eastern Time first pitch, so I'm going to try to
- 6:47get the pot out little bit earlier today.
- 6:49So if you want to play this one again, it's an early game, but
- 6:51anyway, first thing I noticed is a good sharp line move toward
- 6:55the snakes. Arizona open this game as low as
- 6:57-140 -, 150. They're all the way up to -165 S
- 7:01pretty much overnight movement, early morning, early afternoon,
- 7:05all movement in favor of Arizona with no buyback whatsoever.
- 7:09A lot of great system matches here.
- 7:12First, the bet splits jumped out to me.
- 7:13Only 77% of bets, but nearly 90% of money is on Arizona.
- 7:18So both the pro and Joe play here.
- 7:19But again, I don't know how much betting public is is you know
- 7:23Joe betters are betting MLB right now.
- 7:25But anyway, I got 7 system matches on Colorado.
- 7:28Favored off a loss, first opponent off a win. 60% this
- 7:31year, 3% ROI Rd. favorite with steam playing a team who missed
- 7:35the postseason the previous year, 68 percent, 13% ROI Rd.
- 7:40favorites off a loss 57% Rd. favorites with steam 63%.
- 7:45And I have another system called the best chalk teams.
- 7:48So if you look at teams who are favored, this was another one
- 7:51that was frustrating yesterday because the Cleveland Guardians
- 7:53were the number one team in terms of chalk coming through
- 7:55for you and they lost for us last night.
- 7:57But Arizona is 50 and 29 as a favorite.
- 8:00That is the 4th best chalk team in baseball, 64% with an 8% ROI.
- 8:06They're even better against teams below 500 as well as
- 8:10coming off a loss. It's another angle here to play
- 8:12Arizona. But aside from the system
- 8:14matches, the line move, the bet splits, I'm really going to bank
- 8:17on hopefully the offense of Arizona showing up today hasn't
- 8:20shown up so far this series. They've only scored what, four
- 8:23runs at Mile High, which is definitely not what you would
- 8:26expect. But hopefully they they wake up
- 8:28today. They're hitting 264 on the year,
- 8:30194 homers, 826 runs scored. Colorado's only hitting 242 with
- 8:36169 homers, 641 runs scored. Arizona again, even though
- 8:40they're down O2 in the series, they are pretty good on the
- 8:43road. 41 and 35. Colorado just 36 and 38 at home.
- 8:47Arizona is 8 and four head to head against Colorado and
- 8:52mentioned this a second ago, but two lefties on the bump.
- 8:55We've talked about this quite a bit throughout the season.
- 8:57It's pretty much stayed true. But the Diamondbacks are the
- 8:59number one team in baseball batting average wise.
- 9:02Against lefties, they're hitting 284.
- 9:04Best in baseball, Colorado is hit is hitting 236.
- 9:08Against lefties, that's 20th, but also if you go to ESPN and
- 9:12you go to the kind of just the game matchup tab, once they
- 9:16release the lineup, still show the lineups, then you can click
- 9:18either season or career versus the pitcher.
- 9:21And I just noticed real quick that Colorado, like none of
- 9:24these guys have ever faced Eduardo Rodriguez.
- 9:26But Arizona, you have a ton of familiarity in a ton of it bats.
- 9:30Everyone in the lineup has faced Gomber quite a bit, guys like
- 9:33Corbin Carroll, Katel Marte, Christian Walker, you know,
- 9:38Perdomo McCarthy, Moreno Suarez, I mean they've really faced
- 9:41Gomber a lot and have really lit him up historically.
- 9:44So hopefully that's a benefit to the Arizona snakes here today.
- 9:48Maybe partly why you're seeing that big steam in their favor.
- 9:50But add it all up guys. Maybe it's win total Wednesday.
- 9:53Wouldn't that be nice? Let's see if Arizona can get a
- 9:55win for us today and cash that over 83 1/2.
- 9:58I am on the snakes today at -165.
- 10:03Now over to the NFLI. Want to give you some updates.
- 10:06To me, one of the my favorite parts of the NFL is the routine
- 10:10of it. Obviously Sundays are the days
- 10:12you sweat. I love the obvious prime time
- 10:14games on Monday or Thursday or Sunday night.
- 10:17But I really kind of love the routine and the rhythm of
- 10:20basically tracking games and, you know, throughout the week,
- 10:24trying to identify sharp action and then deciding, hey, you
- 10:27know, when should I place my bet?
- 10:28So here's a few games that I wanted to mention.
- 10:31Now, I already bet Arizona +3. This is a game we talked about
- 10:35yesterday, but I love this spot for the Arizona Cardinals.
- 10:39This game opened Detroit at Arizona.
- 10:41Detroit was as high as -4 1/2. The line is down to three.
- 10:45So the lines moved in favor of Arizona and the Cardinals are
- 10:48only getting across the market. Great contrarian bet split.
- 10:52Not crazy contrarian. It's more 5050, but 5050 line
- 10:55move. They're only getting 47% of
- 10:58bets, yet the line is really moved in their favor.
- 11:01And in addition to that, the fact that you are looking at a
- 11:04great spot with Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray has a dog 26 and 14
- 11:08against the spread, 65%. But the reason why I bet it
- 11:11yesterday and why I think if you want to play it, you should bet
- 11:14it now is paying attention to the juice.
- 11:16Arizona right now is +3 at -115 -, 120 and make it down to 2
- 11:211/2. So if you're conscious of key
- 11:23numbers, which you always should be when you're betting football
- 11:26in general, pro or college, you got to get that three before it
- 11:29falls that way. Hopefully, if they end up losing
- 11:32by three, you push instead of lose your bet.
- 11:34So I'm already in pocket officially on Arizona +3.
- 11:38Now, another one that I added today as an official best bet is
- 11:42I took the 3 1/2 with Atlanta. Now, we talked yesterday how the
- 11:46Atlanta Falcons were super sharp because this is a big public
- 11:50play toward the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 11:51The Chiefs are getting across the market, 79% of bets yet
- 11:56Chiefs open -4 1/2, they're down to 3 1/2.
- 11:59And we talked on yesterday's pod, Hey, you know, we've
- 12:01identified Atlanta being super sharp.
- 12:03They're only getting 21% of spread bets, similar spot to the
- 12:0716% that they got against the Eagles.
- 12:10But it's a prime time game. They're super contrarian, the
- 12:12lines moving in their favor automatically.
- 12:15I said, hey, we're going to be on Atlanta here.
- 12:17However we talked yesterday, it was -3 1/2 KC or plus 3 1/2
- 12:21Atlanta, doesn't matter either way you look at it.
- 12:24But it was -110 both sides. So I said, hey, it's moved
- 12:27already toward Atlanta. There's no need to bet it right
- 12:29now. This is me yesterday because
- 12:31we're -110 Juice. Well, guess what, guys?
- 12:34I'm seeing the juice rise toward Atlanta.
- 12:36So a lot of books are now basically Kansas City -3 1/2 at
- 12:41minus one O 5. Now Atlanta's being juiced up
- 12:44plus 3 1/2 at -115 so I officially bet today.
- 12:49Atlanta plus 3 1/2. Now shop around because I was
- 12:52able to get a book with Atlanta plus 3 1/2 still at -110 but the
- 12:56fact that Atlanta is getting juiced up tells me this may be
- 12:59getting down to three. So if you like Atlanta, you
- 13:02should bet it right now. And that's what I did.
- 13:04Because again, if they lose by three, most common key, key, key
- 13:07number and margin of victory, we want to cash with the hook.
- 13:10Can't can't tell you how important the hooks are.
- 13:13So I'm officially on Atlanta plus 3 1/2 as well as Arizona
- 13:16+3. Now those are the two games I
- 13:18have in pocket. Let me give you a few more than
- 13:20a monitoring. Some we talked about before,
- 13:22some are new. One is the New Orleans Saints.
- 13:26Now I immediately saw a move toward the New Orleans Saints.
- 13:29They opened up like -1 at home. Some books were even a look at
- 13:34line of like -3 Philly on the road be kind of reopened very
- 13:37short toward New Orleans around a one point favorite at home.
- 13:43We immediately saw New Orleans get bet up to -2 1/2.
- 13:47And now New Orleans may even be going to -3 So I immediately saw
- 13:51the fact that hey, lines going to the Saints.
- 13:54Now the Saints have looked really good so far to start the
- 13:55year. Their offense is clicking at a
- 13:57ridiculous level. I love the line move toward the
- 14:00Saints. My only worry is that they're
- 14:02getting 70% of spread bets. So in football, I want to be,
- 14:05you know, on the 30% side, not the 70% side, but this might be
- 14:09pro and Joe because it's 70% Saints, but 80% money on the
- 14:14Saints now. No A.J.
- 14:15Brown for Philly. We also have Philly on a short
- 14:18week, having played on Monday. I do like the fact that New
- 14:22Orleans is a short favorite in a high total game.
- 14:25So total this one is 4949 1/2. Remember high totals when you're
- 14:30looking at football to me are close to 50.
- 14:32Low totals are close to 40, but short favorite with a high
- 14:36total. Basically that's an that's a
- 14:38correlative betting advantage to the favorite because it's easier
- 14:42to cover the number when more expected points are scored.
- 14:44You also look at New Orleans as a non division favorite.
- 14:47So lack of familiarity benefiting quote UN quote the
- 14:49better team. So Long story short, I am
- 14:51leaning toward the Saints. Again.
- 14:53I hate that they're getting 70% of bets, but they look sharp as
- 14:56well and you have some good system matches.
- 14:59Saints on the money line -145 that's one that I'm leaning
- 15:02pretty hard on right now. Let's see how that develops.
- 15:05Let's see if there's any buyback closer to Sunday.
- 15:08Also mentioned the Tennessee or did I mention Tennessee?
- 15:13This is one that I noticed now. Something literally changed
- 15:16right after I wrote the sharp report for visa.com.
- 15:18So if you look at this game, Green Bay at Tennessee, Green
- 15:22Bay's one and one they won with Malik Willis last week.
- 15:25Tennessee is O and two, I bet them both weeks and they were
- 15:27close and then either coughed it up or blew it late.
- 15:30So I'm mad at Tennessee right now.
- 15:32But Tennessee looks sharp, guys. I got to admit, the Titans open
- 15:35this game as a very short 1 1/2 point home favorite.
- 15:39Titans are now up to -2 1/2 - 3. And why is that important?
- 15:42Because everyone's betting Green Bay.
- 15:44I get it, Titans look bad. Green Bay won with Malik Willis.
- 15:48Currently you're getting 70% of bets on Green Bay in the points.
- 15:53But the lines going to Tennessee -1 1/2 up to -2 1/2 - 3.
- 15:57So why is line going to Tennessee if everyone's betting
- 15:59Green Bay? It sounds crazy, but it looks to
- 16:02me like Sharpshaw in Tennessee here.
- 16:04Fading a trendy dog. Tennessee's only getting 30% of
- 16:08bets but 60% of money. A great low bets, high dollars
- 16:11bet split. Here's a nugget for you.
- 16:13A betting system. If you're an O and two team in
- 16:15week 3, you are 38 and 22 against the spread. 63% with a
- 16:2123% ROI since 2017. Now, right before I started the
- 16:26pod, I did see a tweet that Jordan Love is was practicing
- 16:30today. I'd be surprised if he played.
- 16:33I saw him, he was practicing, but he was limping pretty hard
- 16:36after getting hit late in the ankle or leg or knee.
- 16:40He was an ankle against the end of the Eagles game in Brazil.
- 16:44But Tennessee was -3 News that Jordan Love is practicing.
- 16:48They are down to 2 1/2 so let's see the next move.
- 16:51Does it get down to two? I mean if Jordan Love plays,
- 16:53obviously he's going to get back down toward to pick em.
- 16:55But as long as Jordan Love doesn't play and we stay
- 16:58similar. Tennessee -2 1/2 around there.
- 17:02I'll have to hold my nose and go Tennessee here.
- 17:04But again, let's wait on Jordan Love status.
- 17:07Another game that caught my eye. The Rams.
- 17:10Anyone got the the Stones, the cojones to take the Rams?
- 17:14They look bad. Oh, and two to start the year,
- 17:16but it's a big number at home in a divisional game.
- 17:19They are at home against the 49ers.
- 17:22We open this game around 49ers minus.
- 17:26I mean, the look at on this line was was pretty short.
- 17:29It was closer to like 3 or 4. But basically we kind of
- 17:33reopened San Fran around a 7 1/2 point Rd. favorite.
- 17:37And some of these seven and a halfs are getting down to 7.
- 17:39And that's notable because no one wants to bet the Rams.
- 17:42You're getting only around 30% of bets on the Rams, yet they
- 17:46just fell +7 and half down to seven.
- 17:49Now one thing I like about the Rams in the spot is a betting
- 17:52system. Play winless teams in Week 3
- 17:56just mentioned this. It would match with we just
- 17:58talked about the the Titans 63% dogs getting 6 and half or more.
- 18:04Did you guys know? They're 8 and against the spread
- 18:06so far to start this year. They're 58% ATS since 2022.
- 18:10But in particular, divisional dogs, you've obviously, if you
- 18:13haven't heard about it, I'm sure you have, But McVeigh, Shanahan,
- 18:16they go way back. Usually they play each other,
- 18:18you know, pretty tight. But if you look at the Rams in
- 18:22the spot getting 7 1/2, I'm intrigued by Ram 7 1/2, I guess.
- 18:26I guess that's what I'm getting at.
- 18:28You should have A7F still available.
- 18:30You could also wait this out because a lot of minus sevens
- 18:33are juiced up -7 -, 115. But also seeing friends got a
- 18:37lot of injuries, guys, Debo Samuels hurt, Mccaffrey's hurt.
- 18:41You know, is this a 7 point win where you can cover in the
- 18:44division with the hook on the Rams?
- 18:45I I'm intrigued by the Rams. Keep an eye on them.
- 18:48Also mentioned yesterday, Miami, Miami's interesting because it
- 18:52looks like Skylar Thompson is going to get the start.
- 18:54I know they I think they picked up Tyler Huntley on waivers or
- 18:58from a practice squad. But anyway, Seattle coming off a
- 19:01big win against my Patriots, even though luckily Patriots
- 19:03covered with the hook. Miami coming off a bad loss
- 19:06obviously to to the Bills and two is now hurt.
- 19:11But this game open Seattle like -6 1/2 at home.
- 19:14Now it's down to -4 1/2 and that's important because only
- 19:1838% of bets are taking Miami. Yet the lines going in their
- 19:21favor. Now they're getting more than
- 19:2250% of spread bets. But you also have a rest
- 19:25advantage. Miami last played on Thursday
- 19:27Rd. Dogs this year, 61% against the
- 19:30spread. Miami looks pretty sharp.
- 19:32And if you want to tease them up, 4 1/2 up to 10 1/2.
- 19:35Not a bad teaser play there. Minnesota Vikings.
- 19:40Love the Vikings. They're just a monitor for me
- 19:42now because I missed the three. Minnesota at home, they open
- 19:45getting 3 1/2 or even as high as plus 4 1/2.
- 19:48Now they are down to 2 1/2. So you've gone through the
- 19:51three, may even be getting down to two, like 2 1/2 might be the
- 19:55best number you get. You want to tease up Minnesota 2
- 19:581/2 up to 8 1/2 could be a great play there.
- 20:01Two undefeated teams take the home dog 69% against the spread.
- 20:04That would match with Minnesota. So I'm looking at Minnesota
- 20:07pretty hard here. But again, I feel like at 2 1/2,
- 20:10I'm kind of in no man's land, so let's see if maybe this thing
- 20:13creeps back up to three. If not, I'll take the points.
- 20:16But Minnesota is definitely sharp as well.
- 20:20So I got Arizona plus 3 already in pocket officially Atlanta
- 20:23plus 3 1/2. I'm monitoring the Saints,
- 20:26Tennessee, the Rams, Miami, and Minnesota now.
- 20:29Quick comment on the Patriots game for tomorrow because this
- 20:32one is interesting for me. If you throw away the bet
- 20:36percentages, the Patriots look like the play Patriots open on
- 20:40the road getting 7 or 6 1/2. I noticed today that a lot of
- 20:45these books are down to six. So the lines going toward the
- 20:47Patriots now, dogs getting 6 1/2 or more, 58% against the spread
- 20:52this year. Patriots are primetime dog,
- 20:55Patriots are Rd. dog. Patriots are divisional dog,
- 20:58their dog in a low total game. I mean, there's a lot to like
- 21:01about New England from a line move and betting system
- 21:03standpoint. Getting the points here.
- 21:06My only thing that's tripping me up is that the Patriots are a
- 21:09bit of a trendy dog. They're getting 60% of spread
- 21:13bets, which worries me. Like if New England's getting
- 21:1630% of spread bets and they had these system matches and the
- 21:19line move in their favor, you know, no questions asked, I'm on
- 21:21Patriots. I don't like that they're the
- 21:23public play 60% in a prime time game.
- 21:26So I'm going to give it another day.
- 21:28Again, let's see if there's any buyback.
- 21:29Let's see if that's 60% tomorrow gets closer to, you know, 5050
- 21:33bet split. I'd love to see the public start
- 21:36to bet The Jets and not make the Patriots so trendy.
- 21:38But I must admit line is going to the Pats.
- 21:42The total is intriguing to me as well because it looks like a
- 21:44deadbeat under, you know, open as high as 40 ish.
- 21:48It's down to 38 1/2. If you've seen, aside from the
- 21:53drop, a lot of system matches here you have divisional unders.
- 21:57Outdoor divisional unders are three and O so far this year,
- 22:0056% since 2021. When the total falls at least a
- 22:04point or half point, the under is 57% since 2021.
- 22:08Divisional unders that drop prime time unders are 60%.
- 22:12In terms of the weather, shouldn't be too bad.
- 22:15Mostly cloudy, about 70°, seven mile per hour winds.
- 22:19John Hussey though is a really good under F so I'm leaning
- 22:23under as well. But again, I'm I don't like the
- 22:25fact that the under is a trendy under right now.
- 22:28You're getting 57% of bets on the under, around 62% of
- 22:32dollars. So it looks like New England.
- 22:34It looks like the under. The only reason I haven't bet it
- 22:37yet is both New England and the under are the public side.
- 22:40So let's wait that out. Just wanted to give you at least
- 22:43my initial thoughts for that game.
- 22:45I wanted to mention now some college games that caught my
- 22:47eye. Let's start with tomorrow, South
- 22:49Alabama and Appalachian State. This one probably not on your
- 22:54radar, but obviously it's the only game tomorrow night, so
- 22:56it's going to be extremely heavily bet, but I'm leaning
- 22:59pretty hard on South Alabama in the points.
- 23:02Now, if you haven't kind of come across this game yet, you open
- 23:07this game around App State, around favorite around -7 Now
- 23:12App State got as high as -8 now it's down to 7 1/2 or even down
- 23:16to seven. Now, why is that notable?
- 23:19Because App State is the big public play.
- 23:21App State is getting 67% of spread bets.
- 23:25So if App State's getting all the bets in a heavily bet
- 23:27primetime game, 7:30 tomorrow night, you know, why is the line
- 23:31coming back towards South Alabama?
- 23:33South Alabama has a great bet split.
- 23:34They're only getting 33% of bets, but 55% of the money.
- 23:39So Long story short, I'm keeping my eye here on South Alabama and
- 23:44ideally South Alabama at +7 and a half.
- 23:46A lot of those seven halves are down to seven.
- 23:49But a lot of sevens are juiced up toward App State, like it may
- 23:51go back to 7 1/2. So again, maybe we can wait it
- 23:54out, but early, early lean here for me is South Alabama and the
- 23:57points. But again, just like the
- 23:59Patriots game, let's give it a day.
- 24:01I'll give you my official bets for tomorrow.
- 24:04A couple other games and college football that caught my eye.
- 24:07Some we talked about, some are new.
- 24:09Now the new one here that jumped out to me, Oh my God, I could
- 24:13not believe this bet split Tennessee at Oklahoma.
- 24:17Now this is the 7:30 PM at night primetime game on Saturday and
- 24:23you have Tennessee coming in three and O rank 6 in the
- 24:26country. Oklahoma is also three and O
- 24:28rank 15th. But no one wants to play
- 24:31Oklahoma. Everybody and I mean everybody
- 24:33is on Tennessee. Tennessee currently is getting
- 24:3687% of spread bets. Now right off the bat,
- 24:41automatically, without even talking about the actual spread
- 24:43number, without talking about the line, you know, 87% one side
- 24:47and a spread sport like football, primetime, heavily
- 24:50bet, public sport, 13 percent is the side that I want to be on.
- 24:54However, it's not just a contrarian play.
- 24:57It's kind of a little bit sharp. You open this game around -7 for
- 25:03Tennessee. Tennessee got up as high as I
- 25:06want to say -7 half -8 but now a lot of these 7 1/2's are coming
- 25:10back down to seven. So the Lions kind of coming back
- 25:14toward Oklahoma, even though they're only getting 13% of
- 25:17spread bets and most heavily back game of the night.
- 25:20So I'm looking at possibly taking the points with Oklahoma.
- 25:24I got to get the hook there. No reason to bet it right now
- 25:27because there are some 7 1/2's, but also a lot all the sevens
- 25:30mostly I really juiced up toward Tennessee.
- 25:32Like it may go back to 7 1/2, but if you're giving me kind of
- 25:36a line freeze, a little bit of reverse line move, buy back most
- 25:39heavily back game of the night prime time.
- 25:41Everyone, literally everyone. Not literally that would be
- 25:44100%, but almost everyone 87% are on Tennessee.
- 25:48Guys, I'm looking at going Oklahoma, either taking the hook
- 25:51now 7 1/2 or waiting if it if it creeps back up.
- 25:54But I am digging Oklahoma there as the ultimate contrarian play
- 25:58of the weekend. Now USC, Michigan, I will be on
- 26:01Michigan here. This game opened as high as I
- 26:06think it was -6 for USC, 6 1/2. It's down to 5 1/2.
- 26:11You're kind of in no man's land, even though the public is all
- 26:14over USC, Michigan across the board, I think.
- 26:17Let me double check, just give you the updated number here.
- 26:22Michigan is getting, let's see, they're getting 17% of spread
- 26:29bets. So no one wants to play
- 26:30Michigan. So, yeah, it's still a very,
- 26:32very contrarian play. I'm just holding out for the
- 26:37six. No man's land, 5 1/2.
- 26:39Can we get a six right now? You have -110 both sides at most
- 26:42shops. I'm going to hold out for a six.
- 26:44If not, I'll take 5 1/2. But Michigan still on my radar.
- 26:47Arizona State, Texas Tech. I really like this angle toward
- 26:50Arizona State. We mentioned this one yesterday.
- 26:53We open this game. Texas Tech -3 1/2.
- 26:56It's down to three. Arizona State only getting 30%
- 27:00of bets. Good sharp reverse line move dog
- 27:02who can score offense, short Rd. dog, four or less system match.
- 27:06Problem is you need the hook. Now.
- 27:08A lot of these books are -3 -, 115 toward Texas Tech.
- 27:11So I think if we wait, you might be able to get the 3 1/2.
- 27:15You might, if you want, you could buy it up because you are
- 27:17a juice down toward Arizona State +3 at minus one O 5.
- 27:20You could take it up by the half point to 3 1/2 at like -120 but
- 27:25let's wait that thing out. We might naturally get the hook
- 27:27there. A couple more that I wanted to
- 27:29mention. BYU, man, we nailed BYU
- 27:33yesterday. I'm kicking myself a little bit
- 27:35for not being heavier on playing it yesterday because the line
- 27:38move further toward BYU. Now BYU is at home against
- 27:42Kansas State. It's the 1030 game, the late
- 27:45night game. Everybody is on K State 77%.
- 27:49AK State opened laying 7 even 7 1/2.
- 27:53Yesterday we talked about as a line freeze type play looking
- 27:56like it would be 7 half down to seven.
- 27:59Well, I woke up today and I was happy to see it's down to 6 1/2.
- 28:03Tells us that we're on the right side with BYU lines going in
- 28:05their favor. Despite being super contrarian,
- 28:07I don't love the fact that I personally missed the seven, so
- 28:11I'm going to wait it out. Let's see if it comes back.
- 28:15Right now you are juiced up a little bit toward K State minus
- 28:176 1/2 -115. But I'm I got greedy yesterday
- 28:22saying, hey, it's seven, can I get a 7 1/2?
- 28:24Well, sometimes this happens. You get greedy and now it's
- 28:27falling even further. Gift and a curse.
- 28:28Good thing it's going to the sharp side.
- 28:30BYU. Not great that like me, you
- 28:33might have missed the number. So let's wait that thing out.
- 28:35Maybe it goes back to seven. If not, I'll be taking 6 1/2
- 28:38with BYU and then also Arkansas and Auburn.
- 28:42Looking toward Arkansas here. I don't know if we're going to
- 28:45get the hook, which is again, why I'm monitoring this one
- 28:48right now. But Arkansas 60% bets, 76%
- 28:52dollars. Don't love that it's public, but
- 28:54it is low bets, higher dollars, bet split.
- 28:56But this game open Auburn -4 even 4 1/2.
- 29:01Now it's down to three. And again, doesn't look like
- 29:04it's going to go either way as of right now -110 both sides.
- 29:07But I'm going to hold out for Arkansas with the hook with the
- 29:10plus 3 1/2. But again, really that Oklahoma
- 29:13game is the one that I I was excited to to share with you
- 29:16guys because man, that's right up my alley has a sharp
- 29:19contrarian buy back line freezer RLM play.
- 29:22I'll be that about dozen guys. I know we only had one official
- 29:25bet snakes afternoon sweat, but hopefully you enjoyed some of
- 29:28those updates in the NFL and college football and I think
- 29:31that's what you can expect throughout the football season
- 29:33on the pod. Obviously we get excited for
- 29:36games that day, but you got to put in the work throughout the
- 29:39week and identify sharp games, hopefully get good numbers
- 29:42before they move. And we did a lot of that today.
- 29:44So that was a good thing. But anyway, now that the pod is
- 29:47done, I'm going to leave you with a few things always mention
- 29:50right off the bat toward the tail and when we wrap things up.
