The love fest with last week’s card didn’t totally work out as planned, but Adam is ready to give it another go in the Westgate SuperContest and Circa Sports Million with this week’s picks. Four very likely picks and a set of three leans were discussed on the segment this week, as Adam provided his supporting evidence for why he likes the sides that he does in the SuperContest and he focused a little more on the Circa Million this week, as one line stands out as one that has more value in that field.

Brent from DSI Sportsbook once again joined Adam for this week’s version of The Odds Report. Sharp money is omnipresent in the college football and NFL betting markets and we are fortunate enough to get a head risk manager’s insight and analysis on everything that is going on. The guys had a long list of games in both markets to discuss and had plenty of fun along the way. College football games included Kansas State vs. Texas Tech, Texas A&M vs. Georgia, and Penn State vs. Ohio State, while the NFL sides and totals included Broncos vs. Bills, Raiders vs. Jets, and all three signature games of the weekend, with Cowboys vs. Patriots, Packers vs. 49ers, and Ravens vs. Rams.

Host Adam Burke and professional handicapper Kyle Hunter always have fun when they get together. They started on Monday November 18 with the College Football First Look for Week 13. The guys ran through some misleading box scores, stats, trends, and then matchup analysis on the early-week games and then they bounced around to tackle the action coming up over the weekend.

Then it was time to talk college hoops on the Handicapping the Hardwood portion of the show. Adam and Kyle talked about how totals continue to be bet down with the new rules and the success of the under thus far. They also looked at some very noticeable tempo changes with a couple of teams that are moving faster and those that are moving slower. After a look at some trends regarding this time of the schedule, the guys went way under the radar for three game breakdowns, with thoughts on Montana State vs. Grand Canyon, Belmont vs. Lipscomb, and New Mexico vs. New Mexico State to find betting angles, picks, predictions, and all of the stuff that you have come to expect from these guys.

Host Adam Burke was quite excited about his picks for Week 11 in the Westgate SuperContest and the Circa Sports Million as he ran down those thoughts for us in our first segment on our November 15 edition of the show. After a quick intro and some reminders, Adam launched into some notes about how the field is doing and how our entries are doing across both contests. Then, it was time for the NFL picks. A set of three very likely picks and three leans, two of which were stronger than the third, followed with lots of supporting evidence, matchup analysis, stats, and an assessment of the betting market and what has been happening with these games and lines rounded out the segment.

Brent, the head risk manager at DSI Sportsbook, joined Adam for this week’s version of The Odds Report. Sharp money is out there for both college football and the NFL and Brent told us about where it is, at what line, and about where those lines are likely to go as we head on into the weekend. The segment was a little more college-heavy again this week, but there were a lot of good games and games that will draw a lot of betting interest covered on the segment, including Indiana vs. Penn State, Oklahoma vs. Baylor, and Patriots vs. Eagles.
