- 0:25Applebaum. What's going on everyone, happy
- 0:31Friday. Our work week is coming to an
- 0:34end and boy do we have a lot to talk about on today's podcast
- 0:37because I have a ton of NFL and college football plays for you
- 0:41guys upcoming for today for Saturday.
- 0:44Did you know there's two Saturday NFL games as well as
- 0:47College Football Playoff games? And then of course we got
- 0:49Sunday. NFLI even have a play for you
- 0:52that I think we should grab right now for Monday Night
- 0:54Football with San Francisco and the Indianapolis Colts.
- 0:57So a ton to get to 1 college play for tonight.
- 1:01Big college ball playoff game here, Oklahoma and Alabama as
- 1:05well as one college playoff game for tomorrow.
- 1:07I have two NFL plays for tomorrow and then three on
- 1:11Sunday for the NFL one on Monday.
- 1:12So I really got a laundry list of plays to talk about and walk
- 1:16through here for today. And of course, because it is
- 1:19Friday, December 19th, we are now what, 123456 days away from
- 1:25Christmas? So if you are scrambling and
- 1:27this is really kind of your last weekend to get everything
- 1:30together, last minute shopping, getting your stocking stuffers,
- 1:34getting your gift for your uncle, your nephew, whoever it
- 1:36may be, I'm just going to tell you one last time that you can
- 1:40make it easy on yourself, make me happy and make that person
- 1:43receiving this gift happy by going to Amazon.com, typing in
- 1:46the NFL Sharp betting Playbook, as well as my first book, the
- 1:50everything Guide to Sports betting.
- 1:51If you get it now, still have a few days, but get it now, it'll
- 1:54be delivered in time. You can get it wrapped, get it
- 1:57in the stocking or under the tree, but it's really just
- 2:00everything we talked about from a day driven perspective, how to
- 2:02approach betting overall for all the different sports.
- 2:05That's the everything guide. And then of course.
- 2:07In particular for the NFL, the NFL sharpening playbook.
- 2:10So if you'd like to grab one or both of my books, they would
- 2:12really, really mean really mean a lot to me.
- 2:14And I think the the person. Getting that gift, they're going
- 2:16to like it more than a flannel shirt.
- 2:18Let's leave it at that. So just want to remind you guys.
- 2:21But anyway, looking back to our last night, guys, OMG, what a
- 2:25sweat. Arguably the greatest game of
- 2:28the entire season. And not only did we win, but we
- 2:32nailed it because the Seattle Seahawks came from behind.
- 2:36They were down. They took a lead when Walker had
- 2:38that long touchdown run. Then they get down by 14 points
- 2:41in the what was it? The fourth quarter, late third
- 2:44quarter, fourth quarter, Sam Darnold.
- 2:47I'm like, why did I bet Sam Darnold?
- 2:49I was waiting for the interceptions and he threw
- 2:51multiple picks and I'm like, Jesus, Darnold, you are just
- 2:54terrible. But Seattle Seahawks, just when
- 2:57one of my favorite, you know, quotes of all time, it's always
- 3:01darkest before the dawn, The Dark Knight.
- 3:03I think it was Commissioner Gordon who said that.
- 3:05But man, the Seahawks fought back again.
- 3:08Unbelievable. And I saw everyone complaining
- 3:10about the refs and Pukunaku obviously tweeted something out
- 3:14after the game. It was all the refs.
- 3:15People are saying the two point conversion was the incorrect
- 3:18call. But no, it was a backward pass.
- 3:20And you did see the Seattle Seahawks recover the ball.
- 3:23So that was a huge play. And then of course, obviously
- 3:27get late into the game. Just unbelievable going for the
- 3:30two point conversion, winning it at the end.
- 3:33Unbelievable. And why was that such a huge
- 3:35play? Well, of course we got to win,
- 3:37so we are one and O + 0.83 units.
- 3:40So it was a winning night. That's all we care about.
- 3:42But this is something that is so near and dear to my heart.
- 3:44I say it all the time and last night was a perfect example of
- 3:47why you money line short favorites, always money line
- 3:51short favorites. Why?
- 3:53Because again, if you look at that closing line, it was a good
- 3:55sign for us because some books closed, you know, Seattle as
- 3:58high as -2 they are pretty much sitting minus. 1 1/2.
- 4:01But the important thing there is Seattle only 1 by 1.
- 4:05So if you had laid a 1 1/2, and again, you always hear this if
- 4:09you really at least I do because I'm a big proponent of always
- 4:12money lining short favorites. I tweeted something out and of
- 4:14course people are battling me trying to argue the opposite.
- 4:17But it's just for reasons like last night.
- 4:20Why you do this? Because if you laid a 1 1/2 with
- 4:23Seattle or two, of course. I even saw one book I think
- 4:26close 2 1/2 out in circa in Vegas.
- 4:28I always like when Circa is more bullish on a side than other
- 4:31books because they're really sharp.
- 4:32Tells me the sharp money's on that side.
- 4:34But if you laid the 1 1/2 or more, you lost Seattle on the
- 4:37spread. But because we went money line,
- 4:39we protected ourselves. We got that decent money line
- 4:43price. What was it?
- 4:43I think it was -120 ish -125. It was worth those extra few
- 4:51cents there because Seattle walked it off going for two and
- 4:55gave us a winner. So again, when you hear.
- 4:57Me say always money line short favorites.
- 4:59Last night is a perfect test case why it was difference
- 5:02between a win and a loss. And I also hear people argue
- 5:05like, yeah, lay lay the 1 1/2 and you'll just save the juice.
- 5:08But that's basically the difference between winning .83
- 5:11units and like, you know, .89 units .9.
- 5:14You're still going to win, you're just winning a little
- 5:16less, but you're gaining the added protection of the outcome
- 5:19being exactly what we saw last night.
- 5:21So just an unbelievable sweat for the Seahawks.
- 5:24I my heart was racing in that fourth quarter, especially going
- 5:27getting down by two scores, but Seattle battled back just
- 5:30unbelievable ending. So Seahawks got us a nice little
- 5:331 and O + 0.83 unit night. So that being settled so we can
- 5:37keep the good vibes going and talk about one play for tonight.
- 5:41And then I got a huge list of plays for this weekend.
- 5:43So the one game that I'm focused on tonight, Alabama and
- 5:46Oklahoma. Now this one is very, very
- 5:48interesting for a variety of reasons, but I do have official
- 5:51play for you in this match up. So going into it got to know
- 5:55number one, this is not a bowl game.
- 5:56It is a College Football Playoff game first round.
- 5:59So obviously the stakes are high.
- 6:00You don't have to worry about opt outs or motivation or
- 6:04coaching Staffs who are leaving. They're both playing everybody
- 6:07and they're both going to try to win this game.
- 6:08So it's kind of a bit of an equalizer there.
- 6:11But anyway, let's set the stage talk, splits, line movement, see
- 6:14what rhythm and truth real have to say and I'll give you my play
- 6:17here. So coming into it, we got Bama,
- 6:19by the way, 8:00 kick tonight. Bama is 10 and three.
- 6:23They're the nine seed. They just got rolled by Georgia
- 6:2528 to 7 and the SEC championship game did not cover as a 1 1/2
- 6:29point neutral sight dog. Meanwhile, Oklahoma 10 and two,
- 6:33they're the eighth seed, just held off LSU 17 to 13 and their
- 6:37last game, but did not cover as a 12 1/2 point home favorite.
- 6:40So have you seen across the market here?
- 6:42Well, this game open, Bama listed around a 1 1/2 point Rd.
- 6:45favorite and the public doesn't know what to do.
- 6:48They know Bama is a huge powerhouse.
- 6:51But of course, they also got rolled by Georgia, Oklahoma, new
- 6:54to the SEC, good record. But I think there's this kind
- 6:57of, you know, bias a bit toward Bama, just name recognition,
- 6:59kind of like the Yankees, the pinstripes, something like that.
- 7:02But it's interesting to me that if you look at DraftKings, the
- 7:05tickets right down the middle 5050, public doesn't know what
- 7:08to do. They're saying Bama at basically
- 7:10a, you know, super short pick them or now even a dog more on
- 7:13that in a second or Oklahoma with true home field advantage
- 7:16laying basically now laying a short number.
- 7:18So public split, they don't know what to do 5050 And what do we
- 7:21always talk about when we start with splits that are 5050?
- 7:25Well, number one, we say, OK, no contrarian value because there's
- 7:28no heavy predominant lopsided side where you can go the other
- 7:31way. But 5050 tickets split.
- 7:34Again, we're not talking money, we're talking tickets.
- 7:37You would assume in a vacuum, theoretically speaking, a line
- 7:40shouldn't move at all because bets are even.
- 7:42Yeah equals equal on amount on both sides, so therefore you
- 7:46really shouldn't see that line move one way or the other.
- 7:48However, that's not what has happened here.
- 7:51Even though it's 5050, this line is shifted dog to fave.
- 7:54In favor of Oklahoma. So Oklahoma reminds me a lot of
- 7:58Seattle last night. Dog to fave obviously you know I
- 8:01hope we don't have to sweat it that hard but no matter what it.
- 8:03What it takes, I'll sweat this thing to the better end.
- 8:06We just got to get the Sooners to win this game.
- 8:08But we have this dog to fave in favor of Oklahoma, who went from
- 8:11plus 1 1/2 to now -1 1/2. So much one 1 1/2 around there.
- 8:17But if you look at Circa, this is what's interesting to me.
- 8:19DK is 5050. But at circa only 42% spread
- 8:23bets, but 86% of spread dollars on Oklahoma.
- 8:27So even though the public across the country is split at DK,
- 8:31you're getting a huge, huge low bets, higher dollar split on
- 8:34Oklahoma at Circa where the wise guys are at.
- 8:36So as I mentioned before, perfect example last night, I'm
- 8:40not going to lay a 1 1/2, have them win by 1 and we lose our
- 8:42bet. So I went money line here.
- 8:45I was able to get Oklahoma -112 at FanDuel other shops again,
- 8:50shop around because there are a few others like -115 but aside
- 8:53from the dog to fave line move. We also have Oklahoma at Circa
- 8:58getting 47% money line bets but 61% money line dollars.
- 9:02So low bets, higher dollars split on the money line as well.
- 9:05Tells me pros out in Vegas also going money line here.
- 9:09One big advantage for Oklahoma though, I'm going to give him a
- 9:11rest advantage because they last played on November 29th.
- 9:15Alabama last played on December 6th.
- 9:17So that's a full week rest advantage, which again, rest,
- 9:20rehab, injuries, but also game film preparing.
- 9:24It's Alabama, hopefully an advantage there.
- 9:26Sooners do have the better defense, only giving up 14.9
- 9:29points per game. Crimson Tide giving up 18.8.
- 9:33Oklahoma did beat Alabama earlier this year.
- 9:35I remember because we took the points there plus 6 1/2 on the
- 9:38road. They won 23 to 21.
- 9:41And then we get into a couple other angles here.
- 9:43I pop open rhythm. And Rhythm is also telling me to
- 9:46play Oklahoma. I have two Rhythm models.
- 9:48Get a load of this guy's. One model has Oklahoma -2.8,
- 9:54another model has Oklahoma -5.8. So again, favored by three as
- 9:59high as six. And we can money line a favorite
- 10:01around -1 -. 1 1/2. Love that one of the recommended
- 10:06place is also a Green Star money line recommendation.
- 10:09So again, also gets me a little bit more confident to play
- 10:12Oklahoma. Lastly, I popped open juice
- 10:15reel, noticed a 14% sharp mush edge in favor of the Sooners.
- 10:21So you add it all up here guys, we got a dog to fave.
- 10:23Move on Oklahoma 5050 line move at DK but super contrarian, low
- 10:27bets, higher dollars at circa rest advantage, better defense,
- 10:31good rhythm edge. Juice reel sharp mush edge as
- 10:33well. Add it all up.
- 10:35I'm going Oklahoma Sooners money line again.
- 10:37You can get them as low as -112 at FanDuel, some shops like
- 10:40-115. Now in terms of the total, just
- 10:43want to mention this, I didn't play it, but it is a bit of a
- 10:46line freeze windy under because it opened it like 40 1/2, got up
- 10:49to 41 1/2. Now it's back down to 40 1/2
- 10:52even though about 70% of tickets at DK are going over and we do
- 10:56have high 40. So it's not freezing cold in
- 11:00Oklahoma, but 15 to 20 mile per hour winds gusts up to 35 mph.
- 11:04So that is a windy under system match.
- 11:06So again, I'm not playing the total because I feel like my
- 11:08edge is greater. On the side, but just wanted to
- 11:11mention that windy kind of line. Freezer really hasn't moved.
- 11:14Did tick up slightly but came back down even though public is
- 11:17hammering the over. So I'll root for anyone who's
- 11:20playing the under here. You might be able to get a 41
- 11:22instead of a 40 1/2, but my play is a dog to fave sharp rhythm
- 11:26edge. Sooners money line.
- 11:28Let's go. Sooners win the damn game.
- 11:31Next one for you. Let's go to tomorrow.
- 11:34Big match up here between Miami, FL and Texas A&M.
- 11:38So this is your noon game tomorrow.
- 11:40I really don't understand why this is a noon game because
- 11:42James Madison, Oregon is the prime time game, but Oregon's
- 11:45favored by 21. Tulane Ole Miss is your 330 game
- 11:48to Ole Miss is favored by 17. The shortest and most
- 11:52competitive game. Why would you put it at noon?
- 11:54I don't get that. Texas A&M, Florida should be
- 11:56your your 8:00 game. Whatever.
- 11:58I don't make the schedule, but if I was I would definitely put
- 12:01this at 8:00 anyway. Miami is 10 and two the 10 seed
- 12:06Texas A&M 11 and one the seven seed.
- 12:08Miami has won four straight just beat Pittsburgh their last time
- 12:11out 38 to 7 Aggies 11:00 and 1:00.
- 12:14But they just suffered their first loss, loss to Texas, 27 to
- 12:1717, so. What are you?
- 12:19Seeing across the market here, well, this game opened, A&M
- 12:22listed around a 3 1/2 point home favorite.
- 12:24And the public is saying, give me A&M all day.
- 12:27You know, they have a slightly better record, better ranking.
- 12:30They're at home. It's a relatively short number.
- 12:32So right now you're getting nearly 70% of spread bets at DK
- 12:36laying it with the Aggies. However, Aggies haven't gone up
- 12:40-3 and half to -4 - 5. Nope, they're actually getting
- 12:43juiced up on the Miami side. Plus 3 1/2 -, 115 and a quite a
- 12:47few other books. You're actually down to three.
- 12:49So this is a true line freeze or reverse line move.
- 12:53Play public A&M very heavily back game on ABC.
- 12:57Again, it's not a prime time, but it's your early game that's
- 12:59very heavily bet. And even though Publix on
- 13:01Aggies, the liability with the juice and the line movement is
- 13:04going toward Miami, FL. So I took plus 3 1/2 with Miami.
- 13:09You can still get them plus 3 1/2 -, 115 at BET MGM.
- 13:12Other books are like plus 3 1/2 -, 120 and a lot of books are
- 13:15down to three, but you got to get the hook here.
- 13:17Miami loses by three most common key number.
- 13:20We got to be able to cover with that hook in addition.
- 13:23We have Miami as a dog who can score system match, so they
- 13:27average 33.1 points per game. So if a dog's going to cover a
- 13:30number for you, they have either got to have a great defense,
- 13:33keep it low scoring in cover, or be able to put up points, keep
- 13:36pace or backdoor cover. Carson back, also veteran QB.
- 13:41Obviously it was with Georgia. And then we get to our rhythm
- 13:44models. I have two rhythm models, both
- 13:46recommending Miami. First one is Miami.
- 13:49Plus 2.5, second one is Miami plus 3.1.
- 13:54So it's not like they're saying this should be a one point game
- 13:56or pick em game. But still, if you can get that 3
- 13:581/2, which you can still get it, it's available, you're getting
- 14:01about a full point or a half point edge over the rhythm
- 14:05recommendation. So everyone's on Texas A&M, but
- 14:09the juice and movements going toward Miami.
- 14:11We got a rhythm edge. We got a dog who can score
- 14:13system match. We have a contrarian play and a
- 14:15very heavily bet playoff game. I took EU + 3 1/2.
- 14:20Let's win the damn game outright or lose by three or less.
- 14:24Now let's talk about some games for tomorrow in the NFL because
- 14:27if you haven't paid attention yet, I'm sure you guys know.
- 14:29But we do have two NFL games for Saturday, and I got plays on
- 14:33both of them. So let's start off with the 5:00
- 14:35game. We have the Philadelphia Eagles
- 14:38visiting the Washington Commanders.
- 14:41Obviously this is kind of a, you know, discrepancy in terms of,
- 14:45you would think, you know, playoff chances and all that
- 14:47because Philly comes in nine and five.
- 14:50Philly is fighting to win or they pretty hopefully will win
- 14:53their division easily. I have them I.
- 14:55Bet a -, 170 before the year started future to win the NFC
- 14:58East, but going for a high seed, you know, looking toward the
- 15:01playoffs. Commander is the opposite.
- 15:03Jaden Daniels has been shut down there 4:00 and 10:00.
- 15:06They actually had a long losing streak before they beat the
- 15:09Giants last week, 29 to 21. Eagles just shut out Vegas 31
- 15:13nothing but for the 5:00 game here for tomorrow.
- 15:16Couple things jump out to me #1. Nobody wants to play Washington,
- 15:21Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles.
- 15:23They opened as low as -5 1/2 - 6.
- 15:27Now they've been bet up all the way to the key number of seven.
- 15:30And right now 81% of spread bets are on Philly.
- 15:34So anytime you get a, an island game like this, 5:00 tomorrow
- 15:38and 81% of bets are on the favorite.
- 15:41You know, I'm thinking about going with the dog here and
- 15:44that's what I'm doing. Give me Washington plus seven
- 15:46guys. Couple things going on here.
- 15:48Number one inflated line off the opener.
- 15:51So they open five and a half 6 now you can get A7 better number
- 15:54again also because some money came in on Philly got you got to
- 15:56respect that too. But if you look at the plus
- 15:59sevens, a lot of them are plus 7 -, 110, but some are plus 7 -
- 16:04115. So I'm wondering does it get
- 16:06does it get back down to 6 1/2 between today and tomorrow?
- 16:09That would be a good sign if you're going to go commanders
- 16:11with me and sweat. Marcus Mariota, however, +7
- 16:16Washington, it is your #1 contrarian play not only of
- 16:19Saturday but of the entire weekend.
- 16:21They're only getting 19% of spread bats.
- 16:24You also look at a divisional dog.
- 16:26Divisional dogs, again, they've been decent this year, 37 and 34
- 16:31against the spread 52%, but they're closer to 54 percent, 4%
- 16:36ROI since 2020. Built in familiarity, leveling
- 16:38the playing field, benefiting the team, getting points and you
- 16:41also have a relatively big dog low total.
- 16:45So total in this one is 44 1/2 and you're getting a 7.
- 16:49That's another angle here that's worth, you know, getting behind.
- 16:53Also, we've talked about Jalen Hurts before, but guys great as
- 16:56a dog and he's pretty good as a short favorite.
- 16:58But lane 6 points or more, he's only covering like 38% of the
- 17:02time. So is this a Philly win?
- 17:04Probably, but can Washington lose by 6 or less?
- 17:08I think there's a there's a case to be made here.
- 17:10And oh, by the way, I popped open juice, sorry, Rhythm.
- 17:13And I have three models on this game.
- 17:16One says Washington should only be plus 0.6, which is a little
- 17:20crazy, but plus 1.2 and another model plus 3.9.
- 17:25So even if you take the 3.9, maybe a four point game, maybe a
- 17:285, maybe a six point game. To me this isn't a sharp play on
- 17:31Washington, but it is your number one bet against the
- 17:34public play. Only 19% of spread bets.
- 17:36Divisional dog, inflated dog with some really good rhythm
- 17:40edges here. So I played Washington plus
- 17:43seven. I got -110 but shop around.
- 17:46I think it was Bet MGM. A lot of other books though are
- 17:50plus 7 -, 115 actually do see one book down to 6 1/2.
- 17:53So hopefully that seven will be your best number.
- 17:56So give me Washington +7 Green Bay, Chicago, your 820 game
- 18:01tomorrow night, your primetime match up here should be a great
- 18:03one. We have Green Bay 94 and 1
- 18:06Chicago Bears 10 and four Packers had a big winning streak
- 18:10and they lost to Denver 3426. Fine by us because we had Denver
- 18:14plus 2 1/2 their Bears, by the way, they have won.
- 18:18Let's see for their last five, 123456 of their last seven just
- 18:24beat Cleveland 31 to 3. So what do you see across the
- 18:27market here? Well, I don't know if it's just
- 18:29something in the air, but we got another dog to fave line move
- 18:32because Green Bay open this game as high as a -3 favorite on the
- 18:36road -3 1/2. And we've seen this line now
- 18:39flip to Chicago -1 1/2. So big injury here.
- 18:44Obviously you have Micah Parsons, who's out for the year
- 18:47now, you know, give up those multiple first round picks.
- 18:50Then he tore his ACL. Now seeing there are a few other
- 18:53injuries on the Green Bay side, but very clear here, dog to fave
- 18:56in favor of Chicago. Now you look at the splits at
- 18:59DraftKings, 63% bets but 78% dollars on Chicago spread, circa
- 19:0675% bets but over 90% dollars on the spread.
- 19:09So I don't love that it's technically public slightly in
- 19:12here. We have low bets, higher
- 19:14dollars, and we have that dog to fave line move in favor of
- 19:17Chicago. We also have a really good money
- 19:19line split. So I played Chicago on the money
- 19:22line at -121 at Bally bets or Bally Bet in Massachusetts.
- 19:27Other books are as high as -125 - 130, but I like how Chicago is
- 19:31like -1 1/2 - 2, but at Circa, they're they're -2 juiced up
- 19:37like it may go to 2 1/2. So again, it's always notable to
- 19:41me when Circa is more bullish on the side because it tells me
- 19:44smart money's in that in that direction.
- 19:46DraftKings money line 64% bets, 87% dollars.
- 19:50You also look at 1 angle that you know, we remember from last
- 19:55night in the Patriots Bills game is that when you're playing a
- 19:58divisional opponent for the second time, it's kind of hard
- 20:01for that team who won the first game to win the second game.
- 20:04It's just there's kind of a leveling of the playing field
- 20:07and it's really hard to sweep a divisional series.
- 20:10So we saw what the Patriots Bills where Pats won the first
- 20:12one, Bills won the second one. Ram Seahawks, remember, Rams won
- 20:16the first one. Seattle won last night.
- 20:18So Green Bay did hold on to beat Chicago.
- 20:22They were I think -6 1/2 just two weeks ago.
- 20:25And they beat the Bears 28 to 21, actually covered the spread
- 20:29there. But this is the second go around
- 20:31and they're at home. So I think that kind of rivalry
- 20:34or revenge angle does bode well here for Chicago.
- 20:38But we have a dog to fave line move.
- 20:39We also have a 7% sharp mush edge from our friends at Juice
- 20:43Reel on the Chicago Money line. And I did notice that Rhythm has
- 20:47one Green Star recommended play on the Chicago Money line as
- 20:50well. So prime time in Chicago.
- 20:53Dog to fave. Give me Dick on the Bears.
- 20:56I got the Bears money line -121 now few plays for Sunday.
- 21:02We haven't really talked about these, but we were talking about
- 21:04them last night on the Rhythm Rundown.
- 21:05So thank you all who have who tuned in last night.
- 21:08Reminder, if you want Rhythm, you can use promo code START 25
- 21:11to get 25% off. And Rhythm also just added a bet
- 21:14sync so that's really cool. You can go right from the Rhythm
- 21:17app to your sports book and get your bets in.
- 21:19But I have 3 plays for tomorrow. So the first one I'm going
- 21:23Giants plus three Giants are at home against Minnesota.
- 21:26It's a 1:00 game on Sunday, and we've seen a big move toward the
- 21:29Vikings because a lot of books open as low as, you know,
- 21:32Vikings -1 1/2 and we saw the Vikings get all the way to -3
- 21:37and really, nobody wants to play the Giants in this one.
- 21:41Giants are only getting 28% of spread bets.
- 21:43Everyone's playing JJ McCarthy, remember?
- 21:45I got to give them credit because they had a big win for
- 21:48us last week with the Minnesota Vikings going to the Cowboys and
- 21:53getting that win. What was the final score, 36 to
- 21:5624. So I think people are just
- 21:57saying, oh, JJ McCarthy is actually good.
- 22:00You know, Vikings have a better record.
- 22:01They're 6 and 8G men are only two and 12, but open -1 1/2.
- 22:05Minnesota got got to the key number of three.
- 22:08But here's the important thing. Even though everybody and their
- 22:10mother is on Vikings, they're getting 72% of spread bets.
- 22:14We didn't go through the three and get up to 3 1/2.
- 22:16We're starting to come back down to 2 1/2.
- 22:19So that's an. Indicator to me that you had
- 22:21some respected money hit the giants plus three, bring that
- 22:24number back down toward 2 1/2. Now the key here is you got to
- 22:26get the three because a lot of books are down to 2 1/2.
- 22:29But I did notice a couple we're still at plus 3 -, 120.
- 22:33You do have valley bet at plus 3 -, 117.
- 22:36So that's what I jumped on. But again, shop around, make
- 22:38sure you can get the key number of three because if G men lose
- 22:41by three, we want to push that bet instead of lose that bet.
- 22:44But super contrarian, only 28% bets, but 67% dollars on Jackson
- 22:49Dart in the G men, circa 45% spread bet, 70% dollars on the G
- 22:55men. You're also buying low.
- 22:56Vikings have won two in a row, Giants have lost man
- 23:00123-123-4567 eight in a row. So kind of the ultimate buy low,
- 23:06sell high. It is a low total of 43.
- 23:08So you can get that dog +2. And oh, by the way, I have three
- 23:12rhythm models. One says this game should be a
- 23:14dead pick em plus 0.0, another one 0.3, another one 0.9.
- 23:19So rhythm is saying should be about to pick em or a one point
- 23:22game. We can still shop around and get
- 23:24that three. It is available at a couple
- 23:26shops. You got to get that three.
- 23:27It's really key and we're very contrarian.
- 23:29But again, the key thing to me is it the threes are now
- 23:32starting to fall back, which tells me a lot of sharps did hit
- 23:35giants +3. So that's what I'm going to do.
- 23:37I'm taking the G Man +3 next one for you Chargers and Cowboys.
- 23:44You got to take the the Chargers, right?
- 23:46The Chargers are a dog. You got to take the Chargers,
- 23:48right? But Nope.
- 23:49What have what have we been saying all year long, especially
- 23:52I would say the last month or so, we've been saying that we
- 23:55hate playing the Cowboys when they are popular and everyone is
- 23:59is on the the boys bandwagon. But we love playing them when
- 24:03they're unpopular and no one wants to play them.
- 24:05So remember, Dallas Cowboys against the Eagles were very
- 24:09unpopular, won the game outright against the Chiefs, unpopular
- 24:12won the game outright. But they were a bit of a trendy
- 24:14dog against Detroit and got rolled and they were a very
- 24:17trendy favorite against Minnesota and lost last week.
- 24:21So this is actually a very rare sharp fade.
- 24:24The trendy dog play in favor of the Cowboys that give me the
- 24:27give me the boys here guys. I like the Cowboys in the spot.
- 24:30The more I'm looking at this game, the more it jumps out to
- 24:31me. So Dallas Cowboys opened mostly
- 24:35around -1 1/2 - 2. You've pretty much stayed -1 1/2
- 24:40- 2. Some books are even at 2 1/2
- 24:43year, even though no one wants to play the boys, Nearly 70% of
- 24:48spread bats are going Chargers. Yeah, you got to take the
- 24:51Chargers, the 10 and four, and they're getting points against
- 24:54Dallas. You got to play the Chargers.
- 24:56But he's a good spot to back a desperate Cowboys team because
- 24:59to keep their hopes alive, they got to win this thing.
- 25:02And for us again, we need to win.
- 25:04So I went money line with the boys once again, not laying a 1
- 25:081/2, two 2 1/2 have a win by one or two and I lose.
- 25:11So I got Cowboys at -127 I believe that was Bally Bet or
- 25:15might have been Bet MGM, but they're only getting around 30%
- 25:18of bets, but nearly 60% of dollars at DK.
- 25:21It's kind of a line freeze. There's still a favorite even
- 25:23though everyone's playing the Chargers.
- 25:25So it tells me books don't want to drop the line and give out a
- 25:28better number to contrarian. Cowboys betters money line at DK
- 25:3233% bets, 44% dollars and then I also have 3 smart signals on the
- 25:37Cowboys money line all from rhythm.
- 25:41So again, moral the story here guys, Cowboys, you look at them
- 25:44one of two ways they're popular. People are supporting the boys,
- 25:48believing in the boys. We want to fade them, but when
- 25:50they're gross, when no one wants to touch them, when everyone.
- 25:53Says the wrong team is favored. And they're hammering the
- 25:56Chargers, yet the line staying pretty much right where it's at
- 25:59tells me you got a good opportunity to back Dallas on
- 26:01the money line in this one. I have a system to, let's see,
- 26:05non conference favorite straight up.
- 26:07They've been really good historically.
- 26:09They're 70% this year, 49 and 21.
- 26:12They're 71% since 2020. So give me the boys here.
- 26:16Money line -127 last one coming up on Sunday before we wrap up
- 26:21with a Monday night game. Give me the Miami Dolphins.
- 26:24Dolphins are at home against the Bengals 1:00 on Sunday.
- 26:27And this is just to me a huge overreaction because Joe Burrow
- 26:32again, weird things are going on with him.
- 26:33He's you know, he's press conferences, he's talking
- 26:35philosophically about life. And it's just, I don't know,
- 26:38maybe he's done with Cincinnati. But if you look at Miami to A
- 26:42tag of Iloa has been benched. So he is not only the backup of
- 26:46the third string and they're going to start Quinn Newers, who
- 26:49you remember from the Texas Longhorns last year, who I
- 26:52thought was pretty good. He end up being a seventh round
- 26:53pick. But anyway, when this game was
- 26:56thought to be Tua, it was basically a pick em, pick em
- 26:59game or -1 one and a half with Cincy.
- 27:04Well, now this line with Quinn yours in has gone all the way up
- 27:06to cincy -4 1/2. So again, a huge, huge
- 27:11adjustment with yours in for two up.
- 27:13And to me, part of the part of the angle here is just the fact
- 27:17that, you know, you don't have to put up a million points, but
- 27:19can you just not turn it over? I mean, how many times have I
- 27:22sweat the Dolphins when 2 of throws picks and I'm like, dude,
- 27:25what are you doing? So maybe the advantage here is
- 27:28just again, limiting the turnovers.
- 27:30But anyway, plus 4 1/2 I jumped on Miami.
- 27:33Plus 4 1/2 feels like an overreaction play.
- 27:35It's very contrarian. Dolphins are only getting 32% of
- 27:38spread bets, but nearly 60% of spread dollars.
- 27:41Inflated dog opportunity. You also have conference home
- 27:45dogs 5 or less. They've covered 57% of the time
- 27:48since 2018. And since he I know it's Burrow,
- 27:52but what kind of frame of mind is he in?
- 27:54And their defenses are very good.
- 27:56I think T Higgins still might be banged up.
- 27:58I don't know his status, but I'm going to buy low and take Miami
- 28:00here plus 4 1/2. You got to shop around because
- 28:02some books aren't 4. But the other angle is an 18%
- 28:07sharp mush edge from Juice Reel. So that's a pretty, pretty
- 28:09sizable one. And then Rhythm.
- 28:11I have three models, Miami plus 1.4, Miami plus 1.6.
- 28:16And I have one model that says Miami should be favored -1.3.
- 28:19And this is factoring in Quinn humors.
- 28:21So you got it all up here, guys. You got to get the hook, but I'm
- 28:24going to play a good rhythm discrepancy A Bilo inflated dog.
- 28:29I got Miami plus 4 1/2. Lastly, again, we're going to
- 28:33come back on Monday for that'll be episode where we at.
- 28:36That'll be 420 of the pod where my I'm not going to make a joke
- 28:41there, but maybe maybe we'll watch the movie half baked on
- 28:44Monday as well. But anyway, San Fran in the
- 28:47Indianapolis Colts, everybody is on San Fran.
- 28:50You look at the splits right now, you are getting nearly 70%
- 28:54of tickets on the 49ers, but they open -5 1/2 - 6 and they
- 28:59really haven't moved at all. You're still 5 1/2 for six.
- 29:01So 7 out of 10 bets are on the 49ers.
- 29:05Why aren't they up to -7 - 8? You know, that hasn't happened.
- 29:09Tells me liability on the Colts here, Mr. old Man Rivers.
- 29:13So we are a Monday night game super contrarian.
- 29:16Colts only getting 30% of bets at circle.
- 29:19They're only getting 23% bets, but 64% dollars.
- 29:23There's a 17% sharp mush edge on the Colts.
- 29:27And Rhythm has three models. Colts plus 3.3.
- 29:30Colts plus 4.3. Colts plus 2.5.
- 29:34So I'm going to play Old Man Rivers and again, a lot of books
- 29:36are at 5 1/2, but you should be able to find that 6.
- 29:39I got plus 6 -, 1 -, 110. Some shops are again plus 6 -,
- 29:44115 -, 120, and some are at 5 1/2.
- 29:46So 6 is a kind of a bit of a key number.
- 29:48That's why I wanted to mention it today.
- 29:50So you can get the six so that if it's down to 5 1/2 or maybe
- 29:53it's down to five, who knows. On Monday, you want to be
- 29:55holding that CLV in your pocket. So I did play Colts +6.
- 30:00So that about does it. Guys hit on a lot of games.
- 30:02There should be hopefully a good weekend.
- 30:04A lot of great action to bet on. Didn't even mention college
- 30:07basketball. Huge slate tomorrow, but that
- 30:10should that should keep us occupied with some great
- 30:12football games. And don't worry, college hoops.
- 30:14I'm a huge college hoops guy. Got a couple of guys DM me and
- 30:17say, you know where your college basketball plays and I'm like,
- 30:20hey, football is is where it's at right now.
- 30:22We're doing pretty decent, knock on wood and want to capitalize
- 30:26because it's nearing the end of the season and pretty soon, you
- 30:29know, it'll be all college basketball.
- 30:30Don't worry, once we get to conference play and the calendar
- 30:33gets into January, let's see if we can maximize our edge again,
- 30:36as an old mentor of mine used to say.
- 30:39But anyway, guys, with that being said, wrapping up the pod
- 30:42here with a few final thoughts, words of wisdom, some resources.
- 30:45First off, I want to say thank you.
- 30:47Thank you for listening. Thank you for tuning in.

- 30:58should have money lined that one.

- 31:12a friend. That would all be fantastic.
- 31:14Next, as I mentioned before, holiday seasons coming up.
- 31:17If you enjoy these breakdowns, the style of betting, you want
- 31:20to learn more about data-driven betting or you got to get a gift
- 31:23for that person in your life that you have no clue what to
- 31:24get them. Well, you should go to
- 31:26Amazon.com, type in the NFL sharp betting playbook or the
- 31:29everything guide to sports betting.
- 31:31Grab one or both of my books, bring the sports book, I'll sign
- 31:34them for you and I'll buy you a beer next.
- 31:38Have you downloaded Rhythm and Juice Reel yet?
- 31:40My two favorite sports betting apps.
- 31:42Rhythm, great for their AI backed models and predictions
- 31:44for game bets and player props. And then of course Juice Reel.

- 31:51single best bet from this podcast.
- 31:53You can get it right from Juice Reel.
- 31:54It costs $4.99 a week, but think of it as tipping your podcast
- 31:58host, getting the plays early, or maybe just a Christmas bonus
- 32:02for your guy over here. But I'd love for you guys to
- 32:04support the pod. Get those $4.99 a week best
- 32:07bets. You also get the Robo Jackson

- 32:18Rhythm, give him a five star review in the App Store.
- 32:22Next you have a live odds page. If you don't have one, you need
- 32:25one. It's super important.
- 32:26Got to be able to track line movement and identify dog to
- 32:29fave line. Was very easy on the live odds
- 32:31page to see the top team, you know, open -1 -, 2.
- 32:34Now the bottom team is -1 - 2. So that's huge.
- 32:38Got to be able to track line movement splits, not splits, but
- 32:41shop for the best price, pull up the line history, identify
- 32:44steam. You can all do all of that and
- 32:47also monitor the market. That's the biggest thing.

- 33:01Lastly, Novig. Have you downloaded Novig yet?
- 33:05Novig is a sports betting exchange and not a sports book.
- 33:07So as a result you are getting a better juice price on every
- 33:11single game. So for example, I'm looking
- 33:14Oklahoma Bama, you get Bama plus 1 1/2 -, 1 O3 you get Oklahoma
- 33:19-1 1/2 at +100. You get over. 40 1/2 - 1 O 6
- 33:23under 40 1/2 + 100 So because you don't have to pay the juice
- 33:27to the book, and you're in an exchange, which means you're
- 33:30exchanging money and bets between other betters, you're
- 33:33getting better juice prices. So you can win at the same rate
- 33:35you would betting every game at DraftKings or FanDuel, but make
- 33:38more money because you're risking less juice, which means
- 33:41your risky unit, you're getting more on the back end, so you're
- 33:43making more money. And when you're doing well and
- 33:46winning, you're not going to get limited or booted.
- 33:48So download Novig, fund your account by using promo code Josh
- 33:52123. It'll tack on another 25 bucks
- 33:55to your account. Lastly, because the playoffs are
- 33:58getting closer every single day, please would you think about
- 34:01joining my Splash Sports Survivor contest for the NFL
- 34:05playoffs? I might have DM D you guys, but
- 34:08I tweeted about it. It's in the description of the
- 34:10podcast 25 bucks right now. You can join, but obviously you
- 34:14won't have the games in the slate until, you know, the
- 34:16playoffs come around, which I think is the 11th of January.
- 34:19But I'd love for someone to turn 25 bucks into 5K as our buddy
- 34:23Manny Davison did with the inaugural Applebaum splash
- 34:28contest there. So that about does it for
- 34:30episode 419 of the ASG Pod on a big fade the public Friday.
- 34:35As always guys, couple final thoughts.
- 34:37One, whether I see you at the Borgata in Atlantic City, Twin
- 34:40River in Rhode Island, the Brooklyn, New Hampshire,
- 34:42Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun down in Connecticut, the Encore in
- 34:45Boston, Plain Ridge Park, casino, MGM Springfield, the
- 34:47Nash and my neck of the woods in Nashua, NH on the border of New
- 34:52Hampshire and Massachusetts. Or of course, out in the desert
- 34:55where the true grinders get down or Billy Walters sends his
- 34:58number runners where the lowest use possible is found at the
- 35:00South Point where sweat and sharp contrarian plays jumping
- 35:03in the stadium swim pool. When you catch a big ticket at
- 35:05Circo, wherever it may be, you're going to walk up to me.
- 35:08You're going to show me a beautiful Seahawks money line
- 35:12ticket. That's why we money line short
- 35:15favorites, guys saves you. You win the game by one.
- 35:18You're not going to cover a 1 1/2 or two, but you will win
- 35:21your money line bet. So show me a Seahawks ticket.
- 35:24We'll reinvest it into into Oklahoma tonight.
- 35:27So as always, guys coming off a 1 and over and O and one, a
- 35:29winning night, a losing night, a great week, a terrible week, a
- 35:32hot stretch, a cold stretch. There's going to be ups and
- 35:34downs and betting. There's going to be nights where
- 35:37two point conversions go our way crazy, you know, situations like
- 35:40last night or you win on a walk off 2 point conversion.
- 35:43There's going to be nights when you lose on a walk off 2 point
- 35:46conversion that is against you or your team doesn't convert,
- 35:48but that's betting. But you know what we can do?
- 35:50May not be able to control the outcome, but we can monitor the
- 35:53market, identify the smart side with our head and on our heart
- 35:56and not put ourselves in the best position to cash.
- 35:59So again, we're always looking to find games that fit our model
- 36:02against the public with the house with the pros flap that
- 36:05avoid parlays and get that CLV. If we can do that, we're going
- 36:09to be successful sports betters. So have a great Friday night
- 36:11everybody. Have an even better weekend.
- 36:13I'll see you back on Monday for episode 420 of the All systems
- 36:18Go sports betting podcast powered by rhythm.
- 36:21Good luck everybody and have a great weekend.
