00:00A lot of excitement around here when it comes to Drake May Sunday, what's where you looking at when it comes to this game?
00:05But I just you didn't think you were gonna get that right with the soccer just now
00:09I mean you nailed it. Honestly, it's pretty good. You are not bad
00:12I should say I would say that you surprise me, but you don't your knowledge is vast every single spring
00:19And I just and I just want to say that on my driver's license. It says I'm five foot nine
00:23Who am I to disagree with the government?
00:25There yeah, there's a lot there should be a lot of optimism right now around Drake May
00:30Um, I would be optimistic if I were a Patriots fan
00:33I don't know how well this weekend's gonna go and I'm gonna give you kind of a lukewarm opinion on this game
00:37It's actually not lukewarm, but I just don't have a firm side here. Um, I think this game goes one of two ways
00:43It's possible given that Nico Collins is out for the Texans, right?
00:47And the Texans offense doesn't be great this season. Like what if Drake May's awesome on Sunday?
00:52It's it like that could be something that happens like he could be really good. Also, he could be really bad
00:57So I think anyone out there that's listening if you want to bet the Patriots on Sunday
01:01I would just bet the Patriots to win the game like forget it forget about plus seven bet them to win
01:06I think they are more live to win the game with Drake May
01:10Obviously than with Jacoby Brissett
01:11But on the flip side if you think this is gonna be disaster offensive line can't block like they set up for failure here
01:17I wouldn't lay seven with the Texans
01:19I would like like lay 13 and a half 14 and a half alternate lines
01:23I think Texans either win in a blowout or the Patriots win the game outright
01:27But uh, yeah, I'd be really pumped if I were a Patriots fan season starts this weekend
01:31So so Nick I you mentioned like if you think the Patriots have a chance like that
01:35You should just bet them to win. My thought too was I would just bet a Drake May anytime touchdown because I like you
01:42Saw it in the preseason. They want to get him the football. He's gonna be a weapon when you get inside the 10-yard line
01:47So if you think they're gonna score and they're somehow gonna come close to winning
01:50You're almost equally as better off just betting the anytime touchdown, which you're gonna get a better number on anyways, right?
01:55Um, I don't know about like maybe I mean just again like the offensive lines really bad
01:59Are they gonna design runs for him? You could be right. I just don't know how this is gonna look I'd be more interested
02:05personally in playing
02:08Jalen Polk and DeMario Douglas like that's what I'm excited about and look may is a really good athlete
02:13We did see that in the commanders preseason game where I may look better than
02:17Daniels played in that game, but I'm excited for the connection now between the rookie quarterback and the young receivers
02:22I think Douglas is really good and hasn't been unlocked yet because the quarterbacks have been bad
02:26I think Polk's definitely good would have liked to seen him get his feet down in the end zone last Sunday against Miami
02:31But that's what I'm pumped for here
02:33Maybe may scores in anytime touchdown, but let's see the may Polk and may Douglas collect connections on Sunday
02:39Nikki just brought up Jade and Daniels the battle of the DMV Baltimore minus
02:45I'm seeing one. It says minus seven. Where are you? Where are you falling in this game?
02:50Is this a game that you like?
02:52Washington or is this something that you know, Baltimore is gonna be able to win this game by more than seven points
02:58So like betting betting wise Washington's been a really interesting team because it's taken the betting market a long time
03:04To catch up to how good the commanders actually are
03:07So we've seen a couple instances recently Washington a couple weeks ago against Arizona last week against Cleveland
03:13we're like sharp bettors quote-unquote are going against Washington because of what their power ratings tell them coming into the season and
03:20And I bet Washington both games and I was on the public side and the public won both times and I won both times
03:25I'll be on the public side again here
03:27Washington's offense is just too good like for now until Cliff Kingsbury
03:31Very handsome oatmeal for brains until his offense gets figured out later in the year. He looks like Ryan Gosling
03:38But the offense is too good right now. Like if the point spreads too big
03:41I like the commanders a lot to cover the spread coming up on Sunday
03:46Costas we were talking about college football this week and Curtis gave us a lock. Just want to know your thoughts
03:51Can't wait for this ducks. No noted college football betting expert Chris Curtis. What do we got here?
03:57He's taking the Ducks plus three in the over great I'll book his action I'll take Ohio State
04:06I'm still I'm still reeling over the three nil halftime
04:10humble brag
04:12That was a humble brag. You'd set me up to talk about Manchester United. I
04:15Slay I gave you ten out of ten what you asked me for
04:18That was actually very impressive to just go straight to soccer and you didn't miss a beat. Yeah football
04:24You have a young child, how are you watching all of us? Well, it's a great question
04:29Yeah
04:31Costas you are a noted Giants fan
04:34Do you think you have any shots Sunday night hosting the Bengals not if Malik neighbors doesn't play in all seriousness
04:39Like kind of concerning neighbors was concussed 15 days ago
04:43So it was two weeks ago yesterday and that Thursday night Giants Cowboys game still hasn't cleared concussion protocol
04:49Like he could practice today that's possible. I think it's unlikely
04:53He's trending towards not playing also cave on Thibodeau one of the Giants like young stud pass rushers broken wrist
04:59He's weak to weak now. He's gonna miss this game as well
05:02I'm gonna give you like an underrated aspect of this game that I think the broadcast will talk about on Sunday night if the
05:06Big Bowses ack mouse one of Cincinnati's running backs plays on Sunday night
05:09Like I'm not saying he's someone that matters for the point spread
05:12But he's their past protecting running back and he's gonna make a huge difference
05:16Protecting Joe Burrow in this game against the Giants pass rush. I think he's gonna play and I think Burrows gonna nuke this Giants defense
05:22I hate to say it. I'd only bet the Bengals on Sunday night
05:25Well, clearly Nick you weren't looking at page six because Malik neighbors was partying hard at the I believe was Travis Scott concert
05:33So looks like yeah, it looks like he'll be able to get through the concussion protocol. Well, I don't think you get your well
05:39I shouldn't say what I was gonna say. I'm not gonna say anything
05:41My concern with Malik neighbors is more his taste in music is terrible then
05:47Going to a concert. I'd rather him go with shine to see the gin blossoms at an ocean city
05:52I'm blossoms were a great time man. You should have been there
05:55So Costas, I got another one for you here. I Courtney has been keeping track of my pics
06:00They haven't been great. But I we hit last night on Gino Smith. Shout out to Gino Smith my pick for the week
06:06Me we is me
06:09Those who bet based on how shine the royal
06:13Is such a massive person a personality. He's now plural. Yep, exactly
06:18And so so my thought over the weekend is is I'm gonna go with the AJ Brown over receiving prop here
06:25I love AJ Brown to have a bounce-back week coming off the injury coming off the bye week
06:30And he's going up against Cleveland who is giving up a ton of yards to number one receivers and number one quarterbacks
06:37Your thoughts, please what's it do you have the number I believe it last look it was 69 and a half nice. Yes
06:44No, yeah
06:45Definitely over. Yeah, I think that's our that's a really really really strong. Look. Yeah
06:5070 and a half. Yeah, like I'm honestly like I we this will be way I'm with you on this one
06:55So we use you and me at the very least here. I think that's a
06:58I'm gonna take that this weekend and I'm gonna bet it and I will give it out as my own on Sunday
07:03We hit on Packers minus three last weekend. Shout out to the Packers
07:07So you and I at it again the cost those shine lock of the week AJ Brown 70 plus receiving yards
07:12I mean look, it's if it if it loses it loses. It's an easy bet to make you should go way over
07:18You guys know you guys are the Sharps you never lose. Well, we're 1-0 when we're aligned
07:22So I had I had the under in the game last night and there were 900 points scored
07:26So that that didn't go great for me have been slaying the baseball playoffs
07:33Every single time a gambler admits they miss a bet they immediately follow it up with ten bets
07:37You've never heard of that. They nailed. Well, you did give them out on this program last week
07:44You have to be a huge subway series guys, no, I'm not I am you know why they call it the subways
07:51So this is this a true story just like and this will be more of like a fan thing here
07:55But my dad actually died like ten like almost ten years ago to the day today
08:00It's okay, but I just think about the way it's all good in
08:032000s my dad was a huge Yankees fan
08:06We all root for the same teams my dad during the subway series Yankees Mets
08:10actually couldn't sit to watch the games because he was so nervous at the thought of losing to the Mets because
08:15Like locally like we wouldn't we are big brother as Yankee fans. We would never hear the we're expected to win
08:21We'd never hear at the end of it
08:23He would literally leave the house to walk around the block because he couldn't sit because he was so nervous
08:28Like like the stakes the stakes for Yankees Mets for Yankees fans are incredibly high
08:33because if the Yankees win we're expected to win and if we lose we will actually
08:36Never hear the end of it for Mets fans and the sad thing is and honestly like I've got the answers to the test for
08:42You guys right now when it comes to betting the baseball playoff. So you're ready for it
08:45Yeah, I'm gonna tell people how to make money. I'm a Yankee fan telling you this
08:48Okay, if the Yankees make the World Series, I think they're going to they should beat the Guardians of the Tigers
08:53They will not win the World Series
08:55They do not have the pitching to do it and the hitters for the most part are choke artists
08:59So whoever wins the National League
09:01Dodgers Padres Mets you bet that team in the World Series against the Yankees, and I think you're going to win
09:06I'm also that's a lock and I don't know
09:09I think I feel really strongly about it and walk it off if you want to make money
09:13Tonight the Dodgers are playing the Padres game five of the NLDS
09:17You should be rooting for tonight the dot and I bet the Padres in the series
09:21You should be rooting for the Dodgers tonight because if it's Mets Dodgers in the NLCS
09:26The Mets are going to win that series and you will get them at plus money
09:30So Mets over Dodgers whoever wins the National League over the Yankees in the World Series
09:35It pains me to say that but that's how I feel like we make money at betting the baseball playoffs
09:39Nick another week and more gold from you. You are the best
09:43It's my guy Dermot still there. I know
09:46How freaking cool was that
09:50That song slaps, yeah, it does. I hate that word. Sorry. That's on rips
09:59All right, Nick, what would you wish us if you're allowed to wish us only one thing
10:04Minute black and I wish you a couple things minimal sweats when he bets in the absolute very best of luck
