So the Jets experiment is over until they get a new QB - that was fun. The Bills and Josh Allen bounce back, as do the Chiefs as Kelce and Chris Jones rejoin the squad. The Lions lose in surprising fashion to the Seahawks. Is your head spinning yet? So is ours, but that's not stopping us from laying down the law in form of week 3 picks and locks of the week! Week 2 locks are still pending tonights MNF double-header, but by the time you're listening to this, we'll both be 2-0 and still undefeated...

We're back and laying down locks and lotittiotas's right out of the gate (less than 2 minutes for Mad Money Mike's first lotittiotas) as we preview the upcoming NFL season by going over all 32 NFL team's season win totals and breaking down why they're going to suck or why they are going to win the Superbowl. Don't worry about the math, it doesn't add up, because at the end you'll just be worrying about what to do with all the cheddar we're going to be stackin'. Let's get crackin'! It's a lock is...

We're back, like the Miami Heat, not like the Lakers, and definitely not like the Celtics. Can the Heat continue to make magic as huge underdogs to Jokic and the dominant Nuggets? Already down 1-0 and working with less rest and no altitude, Butler and the gang are up against the wall already. Don't worry, we're still finding locks and value even in this lopsided series. A dash of NFL, we mention the words golf and hockey, locks of the week, and diaper dad diaries all packed into this episode - e...

Yes it's been about a month but that just means we're coming at you hard and fast with insights and analysis you can't find anywhere else. The theme of the pod is game 7s... bet 'em like you're betting on the sun to rise tomorrow because it's gonna happen. We're all in on NBA playoffs, from recapping the first two rounds to predicting the Conference and NBA Finals. Then we hit some NFL news and notes coming out of the draft, locks of the week, and close out with diaper dad diaries. Enjoy!

OK OK OK, we know what you're thinking - who blew it worse this past week, our podcast or Brooks Koepka. Well, let us answer that definitively by saying we didn't lose out on $3.2 million dollars. But yes, every pick we made was essentially the kiss of death - Rory and JT miss the cut, Homa doesn't sniff the top 20 and Horschel (who's nickname requires me to click the "explicit" tag here on Spotify) teases us by making the cut but then proceeds to essentially get dead last. Not to worry - we've ...

The UConn Huskies complete their domination of the NCAA Tournament with a statement victory over the SDSU Aztecs, and we're here to recap the entire Final Four weekend for you. Then, we touch on NBA as the playoff race is coming to a climax, MBL as opening day and the rule changes have dramatically changed the sport, then we zone in on.. The Masters... (insert Masters piano music). Tiger is back, LIV is here, can Rory complete the career grand slam, so many storylines, we've got them all and som...

What happened to episode 28 you ask? Don't worry about it - let's just say the combination of March Madness and a knee surgery was enough to KO us for 1 week but that's it! Anyways we're back to recap the madness thus far and preview the Final Four - can UConn cut down the nets as -125 favorites (ridiculous!) or can Miami, FAU, or SDSU continue their Cinderella story before the clock strikes midnight! We've got you covered. We do touch on NFL as season win totals came out, of course, locks of th...

Join us as we get some serious schooling from college basketball expert and special guest MacDaddyBets.

Spring training just started but that's not stopping us from hitting all the sports now that we don't have 16 NFL games to dissect. Don't worry though, we kick it off with NFL news and notes - the QB carousel is heating up but the dominos haven't started falling yet - we break down who should go where, especially Aaron Rodgers since he is just getting out of his darkness retreat. Then we head to golf and recap some recent tournaments and look ahead to The Players Championship. Was Tiger's showin...

Wow. Just wow. 59 minutes of championship level football only to be ruined by the refs. Of course we have to open with that. Of course we have to bash the refs. They ruined an excellent performance by the two best NFL teams vying for the ultimate title. But, we are able to eventually put that aside and talk football, the actual Super Bowl game itself. Wow, what a game! 73 points, Chiefs coming from down 10 at half and a re-injured Patrick Mahomes puts on a gutsy performance to once again remind ...

Sorry for the delay but it took this long to stack all the ched from the Divisional Round thanks to the favorites winning besides the Bengals who routed the hapless Bills. Join us as we dissect all the nuggets from each game then turn them into insights and betting angles for two awesome Championship matchups - 49ers Eagles and Bengals Chiefs (the rematch).

Back from Vegas, we start off with some tales from Sin City before diving into the WILD-card round of the NFL playoffs. The Vikings are finally and once-and-for-all ousted by the Giants and forever marked as frauds, Tom Brady and the Bucs get dominated by the Cowboys, and lots more. Then we look ahead to the Divisional Round and oh boy we load up the bet tracker as Mad Money Mike keeps riding with the dogs. He must not like money. Close it out with locks of the week and diaper dad diaries, enjoy...

The Steelers almost make the playoffs but the @&#$ Jets can't beat the Dolphins so we'll have to watch Skylar Thompson get demolished by the Bills next week - oh well, at least the Lions were able to end the miracle resurgence of the Packers so we can all stop talking about Aaron Rodgers but we know that won't happen. Live, from Vegas!!

Ring in the New Year with a recap of some crazy NFL and CFB action that kept us up until the clock struck midnight. The clock also struck midnight for many teams across the sports, as Ohio State and Michigan both took L's and will be watching Georgia vs the TCU Horned Frogs in the CFB Championship game. In the NFL, the Jets and the Commanders also turned in their playoff bids in disappointing fashion. The Packers somehow control their own destiny and Aaron Rodgers is as snide as ever, the Steele...

This special overstuffed Christmas edition has it all as we break down the wild and crazy NFL week that was riddled with comebacks including an NFL RECORD-BREAKING comeback by the Vikings. Poor Colts. And then salt in the wound they lose JT for the season with a high ankle sprain. The Bucs and Cowboys blow 17 point leads, the Texans take the Chiefs to overtime, and so much more. Then, we look ahead to the Christmas week of games, including 3 games on Xmas day but the NFL schedulers really gave u...

Big Bet Brent's downward spiral in locks of the week continue as the Vikings finally lose a one-score game in Detroit to the Lions. Apparently the sharps and Vegas do know something about NFL as they had the Lions as favorites all along. Oh well, there's always a 3rd mortgage. Meanwhile, Mad Money Mike rebounds in spectacular fashion as the 49ers easily crush the Bucs and the 3.5 point spread 35-7, although Deebo Samuel's injury may prove to crush their Superbowl dreams. That plus a full rundown...

Another week of mind-blowing NFL action and week 13 was no exception. Mad Money Mike is somehow rich while Big Bet Brent takes a dive just like the Titans did vs the Eagles - 10 to 35??? Come on Vrabel... The Lamar-less Ravens still somehow squeak past the hapless Broncos 10-9 - poor Broncos fans are going hungry as Russ has been cooking up goose eggs. The 49ers dominate the Dolphins even with a rookie 3rd string QB Brock Purdy as Jimmy G goes down and is out for the season. The Bengals must hav...

This week's special pod focuses on the Thanksgiving day games, where the Bills eek out a win in Detroit over the Lions, the Giants get a backdoor cover vs the Cowboys, and the Vikings win an unexpected shootout vs the Patriots. Then, we look back at our preseason picks and compare to how the season is progressing thus far, lamenting on terrible picks such as the Packers to be good (we blame second hand hiawaska smoke), and pat ourselves on the back for 9000 IQ picks like the Giants over. We take...

A special Thanksgiving episode for our loyal listeners as we break down week 11 much like the Cowboys broke down the Vikings in a 40 to 3 route. I wish I could tell you we called that. Patriots return a punt for a TD (first TD of the game and first punt return TD of the entire season) to bust the Jets and also bust Mad Money Mike's bankroll. Eagles squeak it out 17-16 over Saturday's Colts in a thriller, Bengals top the Stillahs, and much more. Then, we look ahead to the 3 turkey day games and t...

Mad Money Mike is broke and calling in from under a bridge as the NFL upsets continue to decimate our bankrolls. The Bucs beat the Seahawks in Germany, the Lions beat the Bears(???), the Viqueens best the Josh-Allen led Bills in OT, the Colts with their temp HC Jeff Saturday beat the Raiders in Vegas, and the Packers snap a 5 game skid to beat the Cowboys. Wow wow wow - I hope we can write off these losses in our tax returns. Not to worry, as we wise up to the NFL's mischievous ways and hone in ...

I took Mad Money Mike to the cleaners and so did the books so MMM is understandably pissed and in rare form with his hot streak ending so abruptly. I'll admit it though, nobody saw the Bills losing outright to the Jets - the NFL execs and Joystick Johnny really got us good this time. And how about that afternoon slate of 2 TERRIBLE GAMES? 15 punts? Come on Rams & Bucs... hand-written letter incoming, that's just unacceptable all the way around. The week 10 games are sure to have their surpri...

Week 8 surely was a Halloween trick by the NFL as Joystick Johnny and the execs were at it again, dialing up crazy upsets and comeback victories. The Panthers are robbed by the refs - sorry, Falcons - as costly penalties lead to a missed PAT and a missed FG in OT, allowing the Falcons to sneak away with the W 37-34 in OT. The ghost of Tua's past leads the Dolphins back from a double digit deficit to overcome the Lions 31-27. CMC and the 49ers crush the Rams 31-14, and the Commanders led by Cmdr....

You'll have to listen as we make sense of it all and turn it into stone cold locks as we then look ahead to the week 8 slate. Locks of the week and diaper dad diaries close out this beauty - enjoy!

Mad Money Mike is zagging hard this week! We close it out with Locks of the Week and Diaper Dad Diaries - enjoy!
