00:00Good morning, Nick. What's going on guys? How are we doing today? Happy Friday. How are you? Happy Friday as well
00:04I'm doing great. I just have I have I have more beef with the parlay playboy. Oh damn. Okay, so
00:11Cuz Jermaine Wiggins unfortunately has devolved into like he's basically like a Twitter troll that I know in real life
00:17Yeah, so I get in it says no you is people on Twitter. I got great great pic
00:21I get this I get an Instagram DM
00:24It's not even like we don't we follow each other on Twitter like you can have my cell phone
00:27We have to DM me on Instagram. I do Instagram. Okay, that's okay. He doesn't like to text us either
00:32He was blaming you for love. No, I wasn't. Yes, you were. No, I was Monday
00:37You were blaming him on Monday
00:38So I get I get a DM for like like the body is not even cold yet for the Giants against the Panthers in Germany
00:44Yeah, I get a DM. I don't even it was something
00:46It was like like like Twitter like chat GPT like write a troll tweet about a losing bet
00:51It was like great call with the like great call with the Giants dude something like that
00:56It was I all in caps I FN hate the Giants
01:02That was I jumped on Nick's thing. I picked the Giants. I gave you I gave you the Patriots man
01:08You were gonna lose anyway
01:12And you were spot-on last week when I cuz I didn't want to bet the Broncos
01:16Chiefs game and you said okay if you want to bet the Broncos don't do the money line take the points and you were right
01:22With that. Well, actually I think honestly, I think you may have been right with that cuz I should have won the game
01:25I got the good result. That was a really good call by you. Honestly. Thank you. I hate the Giants
01:30I would love to see I do Dion and Shadour in New York. No, we're not we don't know that's I mean our
01:36Ownerships way too dumb to do something like that
01:40Unfortunately, so I had a parlay playboy. I
01:43Don't know man. What is he you have there still alive and kicking? No, he was gone
01:47I think I think the part parlay playboy might be dead too
01:51Can you be a playboy if you've yet to win a single parlay, that's my question for the playboy
01:57I mean at least the princesses won a couple one two. Yeah. Yeah, wiki. Yeah
02:03Yeah, man. Well, I mean he's taught me everything
02:05I know I'm Kevin vice Nick I listen as and I didn't I it was a DM to you and it wasn't like
02:11publicly so it was more of like it which almost made it worse because I can at least got gotten some clout if you had
02:18More just like a needle to me while I'm sitting on my couch. It's a Giants against Carolina. Yeah, we suck man
02:25Yeah, we suck dude. I don't know to tell you we're horrible. Nick. What are you doing when it comes to pass Rams?
02:30Ah and that number being five. Oh man, but a couple of Super Bowl rematches here Patriots gonna cheat in this one or no
02:38So Rams are four and a half point out road favorites, I kind of think the point spreads, right?
02:43They're conflicting opinions on this game
02:45I've talked to some people that I really respect to think up Matthew Stafford might nuke this Patriots defense and and and look last week
02:52The Bears are terrible obviously in the Patriots had nine sacks
02:56How much of that had to do with how bad the Bears are?
02:58Like was that more Patriots good or was it more Bears bad or like what was the combination of those two things?
03:04The way that I will choose to play this game though, and it's not one of my favorite bets
03:08I think on the same thing guys is last week. Like let's lean into uncertainty here
03:13I actually think Matthew Stafford's been bad the last couple. He was not good on Monday night against the Dolphins
03:17I I love me some Drake may I love the Drake?
03:20I I think the Patriots might win the game same
03:22So if I was going to bet this game and to be clear, I'm not but if there were wiggy like a hypothetical, right?
03:29You're like 13 team money line parlay. Let's let's juice that. Let's can I say so can I say the word in SOB or no?
03:36Shine you're the expert. I think you can yes, I'll do the Stone Cold Steve Austin
03:40Let's juice that some bitch up and let's put the Patriots in it. All right, what about Ravens Steelers? I
03:45Love the Ravens. Oh
03:48Love I don't well, you can yell. I can be wrong
03:51Uh, I loved the Eagles last night and the corollary between the two and the Eagles point spread moved to four and a half
03:57I let a cheap plug for my show on Monday. We talk about the stuff all week
04:02I said on Monday equals minus three it closes four and a half
04:04We got some closing line value the bet one similar here my guess is I can be wrong, but I think I'm probably right
04:10I think this will close a little above three. I think it's may close Baltimore three and a half
04:14It's close to being there right now. I think the Ravens are a good amount better than Pittsburgh. I'm not a Steelers hater
04:21I met them last week against the commanders
04:23So I had this but that was part of our money line parlay last week was Steelers this week
04:27I don't think the Steelers can stop Lamar and the Ravens offense
04:30I think Russell Wilson comes back down to earth. Give me the Ravens laying the three and then a hypothetical money line parlay
04:36Let's put the Ravens in it. All right, I got the Ravens
04:38I I can ask him to parlays to close me out for my 13 lego
04:42What if Greg said no, I mean then I would I would not ask him Kansas City at Buffalo and that I took
04:48Buffalo and then Cincinnati
04:50Hold on you could change my mind and then since no
04:53But I want to know why you think it's a good idea to bet against Patrick Mahomes because I love the way Josh Allen is
04:58Playing this year. I think he's gonna be the I think he's the MVP. I love what he's doing
05:03I think that you know that Buffalo team just for some reason he's got them on his back
05:08So that's why I'm leaning towards him. The offense is a struggling a little bit Casey
05:13They're gonna be on the road hostile environment. No Taylor that no Taylor
05:17That's why and then I got to go in January and then I got Cincinnati going to the charges and I took Cincinnati
05:22Okay, so all right, I will I'll check I'll change your mind in one of them
05:27Okay, but okay. So this this becomes a little more difficult
05:31So regardless of what anyone thinks about Harrison Butler and his politics, whatever. This is like irregardless of all of that
05:39The the fact is is that Harrison Butler is one of the best kickers in the history of the NFL, right?
05:45And is one of the most clutch kickers in the history of the NFL
05:47So if people did not see this yesterday Harrison Butler is on injured reserve
05:51He's gonna miss the next four games
05:53The Chiefs signed a kicker off the Jets practice squad, right think about like Greg Zerlein missing those kicks a couple weeks ago in the
06:01Jets Patriots game
06:02This is a guy that couldn't beat out Greg Zerlein at the time to be the Jets kicker
06:05Spencer Schrader says curtain jerk and jabroni Spencer Schrader will be kicking for the Chiefs
06:10So like if it's Harrison Butler and you need Butler to make a game-winning kick like you feel like he's gonna make it
06:16He's done it his whole career, right? I don't know if I have the same confidence in Spencer Schrader now
06:21There is no quarterback in the history of the NFL in the history of the league who has performed better as an underdog and winning
06:28Games outright than the great Patrick Mahomes. So I don't know how you can go against that regardless of who the kicker is
06:34I used irregardless and regardless one of those is certainly incorrect Chiefs money line. So let's take the Chiefs. Okay, I do wiggy
06:41I make my point spreads in the NFL. I make the Bengals a small favorite in the game
06:45My point spread is Bengals minus one
06:47The fear is is that the Chargers coaching staff is 50 times better than the Bengals coaching staff
06:53But with that said I'll trust kind of my initial opinion on the game. So let's leave the Bengals in
06:59Yeah, and let's switch the pick to the Kansas City Chiefs. All right now the Bengals even though T Higgins won't be there
07:04Well, he did practice left yesterday in a limited fashion. So he may be on track to play in this. Okay, so switch
07:10I've got to tell you something that stat on Mahomes is awesome
07:1411 and 3 straight up as an underdog including the playoffs as a starter
07:19I think this is a game while you're right the kicker hurt that being hurt hurts them
07:23But this is an MVP game for Mahomes where it's 4th and 3 at the 35. He's making those first downs
07:29There's nobody better at 4th and 5 and under maybe Lamar Jackson, but Patrick Mahomes
07:33I think gets the MVP on Sunday. I made the switch and that's that Curtis is even more sad
07:38I don't have it in front of me when you look at like the people behind him and how much better he is
07:43It's not just that he's first. It's that he's first with a bullet in that category
07:47Yeah, Brady who I don't know if this is playoffs is 37 and 26
07:51Which is the winning percentage is awful compared to Mahomes on that one. I made this switch for you Curtis
07:56Do you have a lock this week? I don't know
07:58I'm too hesitant to jump back in the pool
08:00But I do hate Notre Dame and I do think Virginia is not awful getting 23 and a half points at South Bend on Sunday
08:06I like Notre Dame a little bit sandwich spot for Virginia
08:10I did we I had Virginia last week against Pitt really tough schedule coming up for Virginia
08:15Notre Dame is gearing up for a big game next week against army
08:18So this is not like like I'm not gonna bet this game if I had to bet the game
08:22I would go against you Curtis and I would lay Notre Dame. I hear you, but it's never a look
08:25I mean everybody's got their own game
08:27I hear you, but it's never a look. I mean everybody looks towards South Bend
08:31It's not like people in Virginia are gonna be like, oh, I don't need to prepare for Notre Dame
08:34Are you are you are you betting the game physically? Yeah, are you actually gonna bet it?
08:38No, I like how you're like arguing with me about this like you're not even you're not even gonna bet it
08:42Well, but it's an asset I think to say that you're gonna look past Notre Dame. I mean, that's like the game
08:45It's not it's not look past Notre Dame
08:47It's the idea that you've got this gauntlet schedule coming up here and college kids may not be as focused
08:52Well, they're in Virginia. They're smart. Will you wager on the fight this evening?
08:56Oh, what an insulting question
09:00Duh, of course, uh, I have a couple bets number one. I'll take Jake Paul to win
09:06Yeah, just just just in case people don't know this. So Tyson's Mike Mike Tyson's 58 Jake Paul's 27
09:12So they have leveled the playing field a little bit since one guy said 30 years older than the other so the rounds
09:18It's true 27 close enough the rounds actually no 31. He's 31 to 58 to 27. My math is bad
09:26The rounds are two minutes long tonight
09:28Yep, so Tyson can be a little fresher and the gloves are not as heavy
09:32So that benefits Tyson a little bit
09:34But we have not seen Mike Tyson in a sanctioned boxing match in 19 years and people will say oh well four years ago in
09:41That uh in that exhibition against Roy Jones jr. He looked good
09:44Like does anyone remember what was happening four years ago?
09:46Like how long ago that was like come on and Mike said he was pulling his punches in that fight, too
09:51And that's possible and look like I think Jake Paul might pull his punches tonight because there's a lot of money to be made in
09:55A potential rematch, so I'm gonna bet this fight. I'll have a couple bets
09:58I'm not sure
09:59This is not like the money-making opportunity that Mayweather McGregor was when it was greatest boxer ever
10:05Versus guy who has never boxed before and guy who has never boxed before was getting bet by everybody like Mayweather
10:11That's the greatest betting opportunity of our lifetime was Mayweather in that fight
10:14This is not that but I do like Jake Paul to win the fight and I don't think Paul knocks him out because there's no
10:20Money in that I think the fight will go to decision. I think Jake Paul wins the decision
10:25So you can get Jake Paul on decision at three to one right now
10:29Yeah, right. I like I think plus 280 yesterday. Maybe it's been bet up a little bit and also a UFC
10:35309 tomorrow night
10:37Steve Amy Ocich and the main event is a huge under huge underdog against John Bones Jones
10:43We had Ariel Helwani on our show yesterday. He said that he thinks this is close to a 50-50 proposition
10:48I'll bet Steve Amy Ocich at huge odds tomorrow night to beat John Jones Nick. You are the best. Thank you as always
10:55But do we do we feel good about the money line parlay for this week? I just last I got the Colts
11:01Stop ready. Here. It is Packers Lions. I got the Vikings. Yep
11:06Dolphins, yep Patriots. Yep Browns. Oh
11:10Okay, Colts
11:13Ravens nope Broncos. Yep Niners. Yep. Chiefs Bengals. All right, let's get rich
11:19All right
11:20That is the host of you better you bet an odyssey sports betting insider Nick Costos
11:25And are you wishing anything for us before you go?
11:28Yes
11:28I am wishing for Jermaine Wiggins to not DM me at the bed loses on Sunday
11:32Which everyone minimal sweats when he bets the absolute very best of luck
