- 0:18Hello, and welcome to episode 191 of the All Systems Go Sports
- 0:25Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:27I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on everyone?
- 0:34Happy Monday, a new week begins and we got a lot to get to on a
- 0:39big Monday getting back into the swing of things.
- 0:41Hope everyone had a great weekend.
- 0:43I have for you today a three pack of sweats.
- 0:46It's going to be all hoops. I got 2 plays in college
- 0:48basketball, including a buy low money line favorite, as well as
- 0:52a total where I'm hoping for some points here and going over
- 0:56the total hopefully. And then also a play in the NBA
- 0:59looking toward a line move here in a rest versus tired
- 1:01situation. So a three pack overall.
- 1:03Hopefully we can get 2 out of 3 eek out of winning night.
- 1:06And then I also want to talk about the NFL postseason because
- 1:09I have some interesting stats that are pretty dirty, pretty
- 1:12ugly. If you're contrarian, better
- 1:14like me, if you're if you're the public, you're going to be very
- 1:16happy. As we know, it was a very chalky
- 1:18year in the NFL. But I do have some final end of
- 1:20season stats here for dogs and favorites straight up and money
- 1:24line. And then also I want to start
- 1:26talking a little bit early here about these NFL post season
- 1:30games because we have wild card weekend coming up, one of my
- 1:32favorite weekends of the year. We got two games on Saturday,
- 1:363:00 on Sunday and a Monday Night Football game as well.
- 1:38And we're going to talk about historically, what have we seen
- 1:41in terms of Wild Card weekend, the postseason betting strategy
- 1:44systems. We'll hit on it all today to
- 1:47finish up the pod here once we talk about our 3 plays for
- 1:50tonight. Also want to mention, thank you
- 1:52all for tuning in to the Rhythm live stream yesterday.
- 1:55We broke the record for most people logging in and watching
- 1:59the live stream, so that was great to see from my myself and
- 2:03James Santor. Also by the way, we are going to
- 2:05do rhythm live streams on Saturday and Sunday, so double
- 2:09dip here for wild card weekend. So stay tuned for that.
- 2:12I don't know exactly what time it'll be, but once I find out,
- 2:15I'll let you know. So you can always follow me on
- 2:16Twitter at Josh under score insights.
- 2:19I'll keep you updated there and then, of course, always follow
- 2:22the all systems go best bets on Juice reel.

- 2:33then go to the social tab, click find juicers, type in ASG under
- 2:37score podcast. So I was put in some plays this
- 2:39weekend and overall it was a pretty good weekend.
- 2:42Guys, last time we talked on Friday, that was a three and two
- 2:45day plus 0.43 units. We had Georgetown and Temple
- 2:49getting it done for the team Minnesota.
- 2:51The Gophers lay in the 9 1/2 in the bowl game.
- 2:53They came through Texas State in the bowl game, did not cover in
- 2:57Ohio State. One of my favorite system
- 2:59matches. Remember that unranked home fave
- 3:01ranked opponent. Unfortunately, they couldn't get
- 3:03it done. But then A21O on Saturday,
- 3:05Buffalo on the money line. That was a play that we had
- 3:08talked about on Friday's pod and the Buffalo, not the the Bills.
- 3:12The Bulls had a big win there in that bowl game, which was nice
- 3:15to see. Remember that was a dog to fave
- 3:17line move. And then I added Cincinnati on
- 3:19the money line. And as we always talk about
- 3:22always money line short favorites.
- 3:24The Cincinnati Bengals won the game.
- 3:26It was a sweat, you know, crazy sweat in that one because they
- 3:29almost blew it late. They had a big lead.
- 3:31But that's why you money line short favorites end up winning
- 3:33the game. But they won by two and they
- 3:35closed -2 1/2. So you lost if you if you went
- 3:39Cincy in the points or laying the points, you actually won.
- 3:42Mike Tomlin as a dog did it again.
- 3:45But as always, money lining short favorites came through
- 3:47with the Bengals. And then yesterday I mentioned
- 3:49on the pod, I didn't really have any plays at the time of
- 3:52Friday's pod. But as always, tune into the
- 3:55Visen Sharp reports that I write each day.
- 3:59Pretty good day as well as the Juice Reel best bets.
- 4:01The Jets were a play for me. They're really sharp dog to fave
- 4:04line move. Had a couple player props that
- 4:06came through. Brian Thomas over 79 1/2.
- 4:09Foster Moreau did it again over 21 1/2.
- 4:12You may have even added, who is it, the Jacksonville Jaguars
- 4:17plus 3 1/2. They lost by three and then the
- 4:19Vikings couldn't get the Vikings.
- 4:21I really like them +3 even close 2 1/2 at some shops.
- 4:24But Sam Darnold, man, I thought he had a really good year.
- 4:28He played very well, but he did not play very well last night.
- 4:31So couldn't get the Vikings unfortunately.
- 4:34But it was a great day if you had the Texans over 9 1/2 win
- 4:37total. And that one was dicey because
- 4:40we needed to win yesterday to catch the over 9 1/2.
- 4:42This is a play that I had put in a quite a while ago, so you can
- 4:44always find some of my futures bets on Juicereal as well.
- 4:48But that was scary because that line actually moved toward the
- 4:51Tennessee Titans. It was Titans dog to fave or
- 4:54short fave to a bigger fave. Like I think they close -2 1/2.
- 4:57But to answer the one who brung you, thank the Lord Texans came
- 5:00through. So it was a good three in one
- 5:02Sunday plus 1.57 units. So let's see if we can keep the
- 5:05vibes, the good vibes going. Let's get right into it with
- 5:08some college hoops as well as NBA.
- 5:10And then we're going to talk some NFL early wild card betting
- 5:13systems and a couple kind of pretty good leans I have for
- 5:17some of these early games. So starting off with some
- 5:19college hoops, I want to begin with one of the biggest games of
- 5:22the night, Wisconsin and Rutgers big match up here.
- 5:27Wisconsin comes in 11 and three, Rutgers 8:00 and 6:00.
- 5:30If you haven't watched Dylan Harper junior, Ron Harper's kid,
- 5:34he's pretty damn good. So you'll be able to sweat him
- 5:36for the first time tonight. Now, I was leaning a little bit
- 5:39on Rutgers. You know, this game was like -1
- 5:421/2 Wisconsin on the road, it's up to two.
- 5:45I was thinking about buying low on Rutgers.
- 5:47It's a contrarian play, but rhythm has got it like basically
- 5:51at 1 1/2, two. And then if you look at Ken
- 5:55Palm, he basically has Rutgers losing by 4.
- 5:58So I did want to go contrarian and play Rutgers.
- 6:01But I said, you know what, I like the total more.
- 6:03I'm going over with this one, guys.
- 6:05Over 157 1/2. Now this game opened about 157
- 6:101/2. At one point it got all the way
- 6:11up to as high as 159. Some books are showing 158 1/2
- 6:15right now, but shop around. 157 1/2 is available if you want to
- 6:19play this over with me. FanDuel, ESPN, Bet and Bet MGM
- 6:22all have 157 1/2. What I like about this over a
- 6:26couple things. So at one point again, it did
- 6:28rise to 159. It never got any lower than 157
- 6:31half. So basically it's either stayed
- 6:33the same or ticked up, but I really like the bet splits on
- 6:35this game. If you look at DraftKings, you
- 6:37know this is one of the most heavily bet games of the night
- 6:39and typically one of the most heavily bet games. 7:00 Fox
- 6:42Sports 1. You would imagine, hey, Publix
- 6:45going to hammer that over, but they're a little bit worried
- 6:47because this total is kind of high for a college game.
- 6:50So at DraftKings, it's basically 5050.
- 6:53Only 52% of bets are on the over, but the over's taking in
- 6:5764% of dollars. And then at Circa, only 38% of
- 7:01bets are on the over, but it accounts for 48% of dollars.
- 7:04So basically, you have a 5050 low bets, higher dollars split
- 7:09on the over at DraftKings, and you have a legit contrarian over
- 7:14available here at Circa based on those splits.
- 7:16Now here's where it gets good. Ken Palm, our guy, is predicting
- 7:20a final total of 160. Again, he has, as I mentioned a
- 7:24second ago, Wisconsin winning 82 to 78.
- 7:28So even if he's off a little bit, we just need this thing to
- 7:31land at 158. Boom.
- 7:33We have a little bit of an edge there with a predicted 160.
- 7:36I also like the fact that this is a very short spread.
- 7:39You know, Wisconsin's basically -2 so short spread overs back
- 7:42and forth, maybe get maybe get overtime, who knows, whatever it
- 7:46takes to cash this over. But it's much better than having
- 7:49a big spread when you get up big, take your foot off the gas.
- 7:52And then also, these are two good offensive teams.
- 7:55Wisconsin's averaging 84 points a game.
- 7:57Typically Wisconsin is a defensive low scoring team.
- 8:00Not this year. They've been doing very well
- 8:02offensively and you have Rutgers averaging 79.3 points.
- 8:06So both teams are averaging, you know, basically 80 points a
- 8:09game. Then you look at some of these
- 8:12offensive metrics. Wisconsin is number 12 offensive
- 8:15efficiency in all of college hoops.
- 8:17Rutgers is number 70. So again, both are are pretty
- 8:21decently up there. Effective field goal percentage
- 8:2454.4% Wisconsin 51.9% Rutgers. Also 3 point shooting.
- 8:30Both these teams are pretty good. 3 point shooting teams
- 8:3335.3% for Wisconsin, 33.2% for Rutgers.
- 8:38Can you make your free throws again when you're pulling it
- 8:41over, you got to make every free throw.
- 8:42Those are free points. You got it, you got a bank.
- 8:45Wisconsin, believe it or not, is number one in college basketball
- 8:48and free throw percentage 85%. Rutgers isn't bad.
- 8:51They're 71%. So I'm saying to myself, hey, we
- 8:55got a really short spread. Should be a competitive game.
- 8:58We have both teams who can score very well.
- 9:01These teams can, you know, get into the the 90s if they want to
- 9:05or if you know, things are dropping.
- 9:07So told me, hey, you know, my heart tells me and you know, I'd
- 9:11love to play the contrarian play Rutgers +2.
- 9:14I'm rooting for anyone who goes contrarian and takes the points
- 9:16of the Rutgers. But I said, you know what, this
- 9:18over looks a little bit more appealing to me.
- 9:21So we got a good bat split 5050, more money, little bits, higher
- 9:24dollars, contrarian over Ken Palms predicting 160 again, good
- 9:29offense, effective field goal shooting, 3 point shooting, free
- 9:32throw shooting. It got as high as 159.
- 9:35I'm going to play this over here. 7:00 Hopefully we can
- 9:38start our night off with a win. Let's root for points.
- 9:41I'm on Wisconsin, Rutgers over 157 1/2 Next one for you,
- 9:47Incarnate Word and Lamar. That's right, tiny little game
- 9:51you probably didn't expect me to talk about.
- 9:53This is an added game, extra game.
- 9:55And I will admit I, of course, I talked about this all the time,
- 9:58but I respect added game, extra game line movement.
- 10:00So this line did go to Incarnate Word.
- 10:03Incarnate Word comes in nine and five.
- 10:05Incarnate Word has won four in a row.
- 10:08Lamar comes in eight and six. But Lamar's playing pretty well
- 10:10also. They have won 123-4567 of their
- 10:14last eight. Now it did move toward Incarnate
- 10:17Word. They were opening, getting 4 1/2
- 10:20the lines down to 3 1/2 or 3. So as soon as this line dropped,
- 10:23you got to respect the fact that some sharp betters took
- 10:26Incarnate Word plus 4 1/2. But now if you're at a book with
- 10:30a -. 3 Lamar, I think we have an opportunity to buy low on Lamar
- 10:34here. That's what I'm going to do.
- 10:35I'm going to go money line Lamar now.
- 10:37I got Lamar on the money line at -160 that was at Bet MGM.
- 10:41And here's the reason why I think it's an opportunity to buy
- 10:44low on Lamar. One is the fact that Ken Palm
- 10:48has a really good advantage play here.
- 10:50Ken Palm has Lamar winning by 6. So if you're blame the, you
- 10:54know, opener -4 and half with Lamar, yeah, you had a 1 1/2
- 10:57point edge based on Ken Palm's projections.
- 11:00But now if your money lining Lamar at -3 and Ken Palm's got a
- 11:04winning by 6, that's a pretty good edge there.
- 11:07So I'm going to buy logo money line Lamar.
- 11:09I also noticed Ken Palm has Lamar ranked way higher, ranked
- 11:12196 in the country versus 251 for Incarnate Word.
- 11:17A big advantage here for Lamar is defensively.
- 11:20They rank 131 in defensive efficiency versus 313 for
- 11:24Incarnate Word. Also you have a bunch of
- 11:27advantages here. Lamar is 17th in the country in
- 11:31block shots per game. So hopefully you can, you know,
- 11:34swat away some perspective baskets from Incarnate Word.
- 11:37Better free throw shooting team, 69% versus 67% More rebounds per
- 11:42game. 39 versus 36. They share the ball more. 17
- 11:46assists a game versus 13. They steal the ball more. 9
- 11:50versus 7 per game. And our friends at Rhythm have
- 11:53Lamar -3.5. So you're pretty much right on
- 11:57the number here. But here's what I also like
- 11:58about Lamar Home Rd. splits. Lamar is four and one at home.
- 12:03Incarnate Word is one and four on the road.
- 12:06And it's also a bit of a schedule spot because you have
- 12:08Incarnate Word playing their second straight Rd. game versus
- 12:12Lamar playing their third straight home game.
- 12:15So hopefully that is a kind of a home Rd. split advantage here in
- 12:19favor of Lamar. So if you told me you got
- 12:21Incarnate Word plus 4 1/2, I'd tell you, hey, you're looking
- 12:24good right now, you're beating the closing line.
- 12:25But now that's all the way down to three.
- 12:28I'm going to buy low on Lamar, hope that they can win this game
- 12:30and put some trust in Ken Palm telling me this should be a six
- 12:34point win by Lamar. So give me Lamar on the money
- 12:37line for Bet MGM -160. Now over to some NBA because
- 12:42there was one NBA game here that caught my eye with a line move
- 12:46as well as kind of some intangibles here that are going
- 12:49on. So I'm going to look at a late
- 12:50game 10:00 Eastern Time tonight on NBA TV, Miami Heat and the
- 12:55Sacramento Kings. Now going into this one, both
- 12:58teams are kind of dealing with some things.
- 13:00One positively, 1 negatively. I would say in terms of Miami,
- 13:04they're 17 and 16 on the year, but they've lost two straight.
- 13:08They just suspended Jimmy Butler actually kind of love what Pat
- 13:10Riley did. Jimmy Butler, who I like as a
- 13:12player, good player, but quit on his team was saying some really
- 13:16negative things post game, pretty much demanding a trade.
- 13:19You know what Pat Riley did? He said F you Jimmy Butler,
- 13:22you're suspended and you're not getting paid.
- 13:24So you want to you want to come with the king, you best not
- 13:27miss. So I like kind of how Pat Riley
- 13:29handed that handled that even though I do like Jimmy Butler as
- 13:32a player. But again, you're not as you're
- 13:34not as you're not bigger than the team buddy.
- 13:37Anyway, Sacramento Kings, they've won three straight and
- 13:39they just fired their head coach.
- 13:41So kind of that new head coach boost.
- 13:43I believe their coach is Doug Christie, who was part of that
- 13:46really good. And I'm showing my age here.
- 13:48I'm 37. But I remember I think it was in
- 13:50high school. It was like middle school.
- 13:52Remember pages Stojakovic, Vladi Divots, Doug Christie, Chris
- 13:56Webber, that really good that Kings team back in the day.
- 13:59I believe he's their coach now. But anyway, we've seen this line
- 14:03move toward the Kings. It opened around kings -2 1/2 at
- 14:06home -3 at some shops it's now up to -3 1/2.
- 14:11And a lot of shops are juiced up like it may even go to four.
- 14:13And I even do see one book at 4:00.
- 14:15So it's been pretty consistent. Open the current line moving
- 14:18toward Sacramento Kings. Now I look at the spread bets at
- 14:21circa 75% of bets, 98% of dollars on Sacramento.
- 14:26So it tells me out in Vegas, the wise guys are leaning toward the
- 14:29Sacramento Kings also. I really like this.
- 14:32Rest first tired. The Sacramento Kings last played
- 14:35on the 3rd of January and the Heat last played on the 4th.
- 14:39So one day rest advantage. But if you even pull the clock
- 14:41back a little bit or the calendar back, this is the the
- 14:45Sacramento Kings only their second game in five days versus
- 14:49the Heat who are playing there. Let me get this straight, their
- 14:534th game in six days. So the Heat played on New Year's
- 14:57Day, the second, the 4th and then now tonight versus the
- 15:00Kings who played New Year's Day, the third and then now obviously
- 15:05playing today. So rest first tired in favor of
- 15:08the Kings. I'm going to bank on the Kings
- 15:10offensive efficiency. They're ever they are 7th in the
- 15:13in the in the country in the NBA versus 13th for the Miami Heat.
- 15:18I did dial up in my database home favorites.
- 15:22Again, this is just them winning straight up.
- 15:24You're paying juice. You're you're paying a big
- 15:26price. So it's not profitable overall,
- 15:27but home favorites are 217 and 97 straight up.
- 15:32That is a near 70% win percentage.
- 15:34And I also like the fact that non conference favorite.
- 15:37So Kings from the West, heat from the east.
- 15:40Lack of familiarity benefits the better team historically.
- 15:44So I'm going to go money line here.
- 15:45Just win the damn game. Sacramento Kings again, you got
- 15:48the Jimmy Butler issues with the heat.
- 15:50They're in a tough spot playing their 4th game in six days.
- 15:53Sacramento Kings new coach boost got the line move and they're
- 15:58they're rested in the spot. So I'm going with the Sacramento
- 16:01Kings to win this game. I got them on the money line at
- 16:03Bet MGM -165. Now let's talk about a couple
- 16:10post season trends or betting systems and then I'll talk about
- 16:14some NFL post season games for the wild Card weekend.
- 16:17We're where we're already seeing system matches and line moves.
- 16:20So I want to start off with unfortunately, cover your ears
- 16:23earmuffs. It wasn't a great year for us
- 16:26contrarian betters because it was an epic public year.
- 16:29You don't need me to tell you about that, but it's I'm going
- 16:32to build a basically information and then ask you a question.
- 16:36So great year for the public, bad year for books and
- 16:39contrarians favorites on the year.
- 16:41Now you did see dogs go nine and seven ATS last yesterday, which
- 16:44was nice to see. But on the year favorites 143
- 16:48and 124 against the spread 54%. That was the best ATS chalk year
- 16:53since 2017 and it was the 4th best chalk year since 2003.
- 16:59So total aberration in terms of all these favorites.
- 17:03Then you look at favorites, straight up they went 177 and
- 17:066473%. That was the best chalk year
- 17:10since 2005. Obviously not good for us
- 17:13contrarians. That basically just meant a lot
- 17:15of favorites covered dogs didn't bark.
- 17:17And even for the books, like you couldn't even get a dog to win
- 17:20outright. You know, we can't get a dog to
- 17:23cover 3 1/2 and you know, typically you'd cover the 3 1/2
- 17:26and you'd win the game. That just didn't happen this
- 17:28year. So my question is if you are a
- 17:32public better, I would assume you had one of your best years
- 17:35ever and now you're going in the playoffs saying give me more
- 17:38favorites because they did so well this year.
- 17:40But I'm thinking hopefully, fingers crossed we see
- 17:44regression to dogs. Now, here's some good stats to
- 17:47remember. And I tweeted this at Josh under
- 17:50score insights, my Twitter, if you want to just, you know, kind
- 17:52of look at it or book market. But since 2017 in the
- 17:57postseason, pretty good sample size.
- 17:59Playoff dogs 52 and 34 against the spread, 61% dogs do very
- 18:05well in the postseason. These lines are very, very sharp
- 18:08because the odds makers have a lot of data and they've
- 18:10basically tweaked their power ratings to create really sharp
- 18:13numbers. You have the influx of public
- 18:15betting in the postseason, especially a public that is fat
- 18:18and happy after having a really good year.
- 18:20So hopefully it will pay to go the other way.
- 18:23Now, wild card dogs in particular, since 2017, they're
- 18:2624 and 12 against the spread 67%.
- 18:29And then if you dig a little deeper, playoff dogs who missed
- 18:32the playoffs the previous year. A lot of people you'll hear in
- 18:35on Twitter, like, who are they? The bright lights?
- 18:37They're not used to it. They don't have experience.
- 18:39That's true. But it's actually been probable
- 18:42to buy low on those teams. We have some matches this
- 18:44weekend. Those teams went 39 and 20
- 18:47against the spread, 66% since 2017.
- 18:50A playoff dog playing an opponent who missed the playoffs
- 18:53the previous year. Unbelievable.
- 18:55They've gone 14 and one against the spread since 2017.
- 18:59So if you tell me, you just say, hey, Josh, I bang my head
- 19:03against the wall with dogs are not covering for me.
- 19:05I'm going favorites this postseason.
- 19:06I would say, hey, you have the power to do that.
- 19:09But based on these stats and the year that the books had, I'm
- 19:12hoping that we see some regression towards some dogs.
- 19:15Now that being said, couple early games I want to hit on
- 19:19Chargers Houston. This is the early game on
- 19:22Saturday 4:30 PM, and I've noticed some sharp money,
- 19:25believe it or not, on Houston +3.
- 19:28Now this game open chargers -3 the public is all over the
- 19:32Chargers on the Harbaugh bandwagon.
- 19:34Fading Houston here. CJ Stroud obviously didn't have
- 19:36the greatest sophomore campaign, but 82% of bets on Chargers they
- 19:41open -3 they've either stayed 3 or even gotten down to 2 1/2.
- 19:45So that tells me we got some smart money here going Houston
- 19:47+3, some line freezer RLM. You also have wild card dogs
- 19:53versus opponent who missed the playoffs the previous year. 14
- 19:56and one ATS that would match on Houston.
- 19:58Houston is one of your top contrarian plays of the wild
- 20:01card weekend. Only 18% of spread bets at
- 20:04DraftKings, but Circus got a really good split on the Texans.
- 20:0720% bets, 49% dollars. So my angle here is I'll be
- 20:13taking the +3 with Houston now. You can consider grabbing it now
- 20:18because there are a lot of shops getting down to 2 1/2.
- 20:20But if it gets down to 2 1/2 and you missed the three, this is a
- 20:23great teaser play taking Houston 2 1/2 up to 8 1/2.
- 20:26So those would be your options here because that's the Wong
- 20:29teaser that goes through three and seven that wise guys like to
- 20:31play. So plus three, 2 1/2 to 8 1/2.
- 20:35I'll be on Houston here this weekend.
- 20:38I didn't notice smart money under here.
- 20:39It opened 4444 1/2. It's down to 42 1/2.
- 20:43Publix on the over, yet it fell. Texans were one of the best
- 20:46under teams in in the NFL this year.
- 20:49They're 11:00 and 6:00 to the under.
- 20:52And you do have when the total falls at least 1/2 point in the
- 20:54playoff game, 58% to the under since 2017.
- 21:00Next one I wanted to mention Washington, Tampa Bay.
- 21:03I'm looking toward the Commanders plus 3 1/2 here now.
- 21:06It opened around Tampa -3 and there's kind of been a back and
- 21:10forth where the books are juicing up Tampa -3 -, 115.
- 21:14But every time the sign gets to 3 1/2, it keeps coming back down
- 21:17to Washington. So that tells me you have a
- 21:20little bit of dueling smart money on maybe some pros like
- 21:23Tampa -3 but then a lot of maybe other pros like Washington plus
- 21:283 1/2. Now I like the 3 1/2 with
- 21:30Washington, they're only getting half the tickets, but 67%
- 21:34dollars at DraftKings and they would match that playoff dog who
- 21:37missed the playoffs the previous year. 39 and 28 TS 28% since
- 21:422017. So if you like Washington, hold
- 21:45out for the hook on this one. Also, the total is the highest
- 21:48total of any game this wild card week and it's 50 1/2 even 51 if
- 21:53you can get access to a 51. I would lean under here.
- 21:56It opened fifty and a half pretty much hasn't moved.
- 21:58That's important because the public, even though it's a high
- 22:00total, they're still going over. 70% of bets are on the over, but
- 22:05only 30% bets. But 45% dollars are on the
- 22:08under. And when you have a playoff high
- 22:09total of 47 or more, the under is 62% since 2018.
- 22:15So I'd lean under here as of now.
- 22:17And I would look toward the hook if you can get it with
- 22:20Washington. But my favorite game of a wild
- 22:24card weekend is a Monday Night Football game.
- 22:26Vikings, Rams. Now, this is the biggest,
- 22:29sharpest move that I've seen for wild card weekend.
- 22:32It opened Minnesota -2 1/2 public even only saw Minnesota
- 22:37get blown out last night, which was annoying to me because item
- 22:40plus 3. But anyway, they're still
- 22:42playing Minnesota. As of right now, you are getting
- 22:4568% of bets on the Vikings. But guys, the line didn't get up
- 22:49to three or three and a half. This is down to 1 1/2 the lines
- 22:52falling toward the Rams, even though public 2/3 of batters are
- 22:56on Minnesota. So big sharp reverse line move
- 22:59again. When the line is moving away
- 23:01from the popular side toward the unpopular side in favor of the
- 23:03Rams, there's a good contrarian play.
- 23:06LA is only getting 32% of spread bets.
- 23:09Could be a great teaser play. Now that it's down to 1 1/2.
- 23:14You know you're thinking of either taking the 1 1/2.
- 23:16You could be a little bold and money line the Rams, but you can
- 23:19get the 1 1/2 up to 7 1/2 with the Rams.
- 23:23Maybe you pair that with Houston 2 and half to 8 1/2.
- 23:25I think that could be worth a look.
- 23:27The other angle here is when you take a wild card dog and you
- 23:32tease them up six points, they're 29 and 781% covering the
- 23:37number since 2017. Also put in there, hey, Rams
- 23:41have a lot of experience. They won a Super Bowl a few
- 23:43years ago, Stafford McVeigh versus Minnesota and Darnold,
- 23:47who Darnold did not look good in the bright lights last night.
- 23:50There's also an angle there of you know, the Rams sat there
- 23:53guys last yesterday Minnesota to play a really physical game
- 23:57against Detroit. So it's almost the rest first
- 23:59tired in favor of the Rams. So keep an eye on that.
- 24:02And I think there's a stat there.
- 24:04I want to say the team that plays the Detroit Lions the
- 24:09following week. I believe they're six and ten
- 24:11straight up speaks to how physical the Lions are.
- 24:14So I'm looking at Rams. So that about does it guys.
- 24:17Just wanted to wet your whistle, give you a little bit of taste,
- 24:19hear of some post season talk because this is really the best
- 24:23time of year you get post season.
- 24:25We're really going to start to focus heavily on college hoops,
- 24:28March Madness, conference tournaments.
- 24:30That's not that far off. And we'll continue to look at
- 24:32NHL and NBA as well. And before you know it, I know
- 24:35baseball. Baseball is not that far off

- 28:43have the college football final four here so we have to talk
- 28:46about that coming up here. The next game is Notre Dame and

- 28:53Notre Dame I just saw they move -1 1/2 up to -2 and then Ohio
- 28:57State. Texas.
- 28:58Everyone loves Ohio State in that one.
- 29:00Will it be a buy low Texas? Can we get a 6 1/2 with Texas?
- 29:04Those are just some early thoughts but I haven't played
- 29:05any yet. But anyway guys, best of luck as
- 29:09always. Stay sharp, stay contrarian, bet
- 29:11against the public, place yourself on the side of the
- 29:13house. Always be with the smart money,
- 29:15never against it. Will smart money when every
- 29:16time? Unfortunately, no, because
- 29:19betting is hard if you haven't realized yet.
- 29:21But we can win. We can win if we stay true to
- 29:23the model that games with our head and not our heart.
- 29:25Against the public, with the sharps, with the pros, with the
- 29:29house flat bet, no parlays, get that CLV.
