It may be a day off for some, but not here for us on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke opened up the show with some thoughts from the first weekend of college football and then took a look at the world of Major League Baseball, as we're into the final month of the season. Adam gave some interesting stats on favorites in the month of August and looked at historic results in September for favorites as rosters expand and the playoff races are on.

The guys discussed the business as only they can, with some great insights from behind the counter. They talked about a variety of college football games, some with sharp action and some that just had notable line moves. They also talked about what Andrew Luck means from a betting odds standpoint and about how that situation gets handled within the office.

College football is back on Thursday night, so we had lots to celebrate on this Thursday August 29 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Unfortunately, Thor Nystrom was unable to join us today, but that meant that we had Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com for a full hour. The guys started light with NFL Preseason and a full slate of Thursday night action for Week 4. Then it was all college football for the rest of the show.

We're getting you through the work week one day at a time on BangTheBook Radio. On this Tuesday August 27 edition of the show, host Adam Burke was joined by two guests, as Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and professional handicapper Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com hopped on the program.

Host Adam Burke was back on the BangTheBook airwaves to recap the weekend and set the stage for what should be a very fun week of college football. In order to do that, he called on the help of professional handicapper Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com for the full hour.

The guys opened with the breaking news that came over the weekend about Andrew Luck and his impact on the Colts, their season win total, the AFC South, the AFC in general, and how to bet Indianapolis going forward. Then it was all college football, all the time, as the guys talked about some season win total bets and some position groups that Kyle really likes based on some new coordinator hires.

Finally, game breakdowns, as the guys touched on UCLA vs. Cincinnati, BYU vs. Utah, Kent State vs. Arizona State, Utah vs. BYU, Purdue vs. Nevada.

Our first full week of shows is in the books, as host Adam Burke rounded out a fine week of shows with two solid guests.

We've focused on the different ways of handicapping this week and Christian brought another new perspective to the show with his focus on prop and derivative markets.

Brent, the head risk manager at DSI Sportsbook, joined us to talk about what the job of a risk manager actually is. He discussed the use of information to move lines and then looked at some of his futures exposure in college football and the NFL. We do have sharp action out there for Week 1 games in both college football and the NFL, so the guys discussed those and also more along the way about the whys and hows of the job.

Thursday editions of BangTheBook Radio are going to be great once again this season. Professional handicapper Brad Powers joined host Adam Burke to chat about Week 3 of the NFL Preseason to get us going for today's program.

The guys hit Florida vs. Miami, Arizona vs. Hawaii, UCLA vs. Cincinnati, FIU vs. Tulane, and Utah vs. BYU in the Holy War.

Thor Nystrom of Rotoworld then joined us to talk about his college football handicapping. His style is a very intricate one and this was a phenomenal conversation about different ways to handicap, the factors that matter, and about the meshing of the new school and the old school that he uses to pick games. We had a chance to scratch the surface with Thor on this episode and can't wait to see what else he has in store.
