ATS.io - Sports Betting Talk Radio

We're back to recap the weekend and look at the week ahead on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke welcomed Joe Everett to the program to start us off with the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview segment. The guys chatted about tonight's big Vikings vs. Seahawks game on MNF and took a look back at some Week 14 talking points. They hit on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, a tough loss for the Rams, the Raiders surprising the Steelers, and how the Panthers are having problems.

The hybrid College Football First Look and Handicapping the Hardwood segment with Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com was chock full of great betting information today. The guys talked about some interesting bowl betting trends and some notable conference ATS trends for said bowl games. They also looked ahead to Saturday's first round of bowl games and gave quick picks and thoughts on the Cure Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Camellia Bowl, and New Orleans Bowl.

On the college basketball side, the guys hit some year-to-date numbers, signs of regression, and a couple games on a very light CBB week.

We closed the door on another fine week of BangTheBook Radio broadcasts with our last two items of business for the week. Host Adam Burke employed the help of Joe Everett for this week's Westgate SuperContest Selections segment. Adam's BangTheBook Podcast entry failed to get over the hump last week with a 2-3 showing and sits at 28-31-6 on the season, but he had a lot of thoughts and betting advice on today's show with four picks and a set of leans.

Brent, the head risk manager at DSI Sportsbook, joined us once again for The Odds Report, which is a favorite segment among our listeners. The guys talked about the action so far on the Army-Navy Game and also about how the process of managing risk goes when it comes to the bowl games. Adam and Brent also had a lot to discuss on the NFL side, as lines are dropping for popular, public teams this week. The Bills are in rare air this week and we also have some big situational spots to consider. Six games have had sharp action at DSI and those six sides and totals wrapped up this fine segment.

We've got a lot to talk about in the football betting world and we had one of the best in the business to help us out with that on our Thursday December 6 edition of BangTheBook Radio. That person was Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com and he joined host Adam Burke to chat about the Army vs. Navy game, the bowl game lines, and then a few NFL games for Week 14.

It is Week 15 in college football, which means just the Army vs. Navy game. Brad gave us his thoughts on that matchup in Philadelphia. Then the guys touched on early bowl game thoughts, including some openers that Brad played, what some of the NFL Draft announcements should mean to the lines, and some bowl betting angles that are of great importance.

They also hit the NFL to talk about tonight's Jaguars vs. Titans, Rams vs. Bears, Vikings vs. Seahawks, and about some general NFL betting tips for late-season games with varying motivation, playoff implications, and a lot of public perception influences in the lines.

The shenanigans of BlogTalkRadio can't stop us. We got yesterday's show done on Skype with Ralph Michaels and moved Brian Blessing back a day to get him on this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke talked some NFL and NHL with the savvy veteran handicapper, as the guys hit on what they intended to discuss on yesterday's program. The guys hit Ravens vs. Chiefs, Colts vs. Texans, and Patriots vs. Dolphins with a trio of NFL matchups and then also talked about how both the Capitals and Golden Knights will respond after Tuesday's emotional game, the hiring of Ken Hitchcock by the Oilers, and a betting angle you want to be aware of.

Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us for this week's Wednesday Wagering segment. The guys did something a little different today. Wes relocated to Las Vegas recently, so the guys talked about the offshore climate vs. the Vegas climate when it comes to betting odds, using apps vs. websites, and how the odds are skewed and set a little bit differently between the two sets of sportsbooks.

Technical difficulties prevented us from having Brian Blessing on today’s edition of BangTheBook Radio. He was on a tight schedule and BlogTalkRadio’s BS forced him to miss out on today’s appearance. In any event, we had a strong show with just one guest, as host Adam Burke talked with Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com about college football and college basketball.

Pro handicapper Ralph Michaels had a lot of good insights for us on today's show. Adam and Ralph talked about the Army-Navy Game on Saturday and also took a look at some early bowl thoughts and betting angles. They talked about lines that stand out, motivation, home field advantage, and the rash of players skipping the bowl games to worry about the NFL. They also talked about college basketball and about an interesting spot for BYU that led into a chat about CBB rivalry games. They also talked about the Big Ten going back to non-conference and several other picks, previews, and trends.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Bowl season is finally here. That was a big talking point on the Monday December 3 edition of BangTheBook Radio, but not before we took a look at the NFL. Host Adam Burke started things off with Joe Everett of DraftScouts and Insider Football for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The guys previewed Redskins vs. Eagles on MNF and then recapped Week 13, including the firing of Mike McCarthy, the Jaguars stepping up, the Titans doing the same, the Cowboys vs. the Saints, and the Vikings running on empty.

Kyle Hunter from HunterSportsPicks.com joined us for the College Football First Look / Handicapping the Hardwood hybrid segment. The guys discussed Army vs. Navy and also the opening bowl lines, including some betting tips for these unique games. Spoiler alert: they talked about motivation. On the college hoops side, the guys talked about some betting angles regarding low cover rates to start the year and early conference games. They also looked at Northern Kentucky vs. Cincinnati, Washington vs. Gonzaga, and Saint Louis vs. Southern Illinois.

This week and this month on BangTheBook Radio came to a close with our two regular Friday segments. Host Adam Burke shared his picks, thoughts, stats, and other supporting evidence for Week 13 of the Westgate SuperContest during our SuperContest Selections segment. The BangTheBook Podcast entry is 16-8-1 over the last three weeks, so hopefully Adam can stay on the right track. He enlisted the help of Joe Everett to talk about the card and had four picks and three leans for consideration this week.

Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report to discuss sharp action for Week 14 of the college football season and Week 13 of the NFL season. The guys talked about those games, analyzed the market and the moves, and also talked about the process of setting and maintaining college football bowl game lines, which will start popping up on Sunday.

Hope you're ready for a lot of game breakdowns because that's what you get every Thursday on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke talked every FBS college game on the board this week with professional handicapper Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com. The guys hit the major games like Georgia vs. Alabama and Utah vs. Washington, but also hit the rescheduled games like East Carolina vs. NC State and Marshall vs. Virginia Tech. All 14 CFB games were covered and with a little more detail than usual with the smaller card.

Tony George from Doc's Sports also joined us. We haven't had much NBA flare on the show, so Adam and Tony talked about tonight's two late games in the Association with thoughts on Clippers vs. Kings and Pacers vs. Lakers. The guys also dug into the college hoops side of things as Big Ten play starts this weekend. Tony gave his thoughts on the conference and how things change now with handicapping conference play. Finally, they hit Vikings vs. Patriots to round out the show with a little NFL insight.

We're going to throw you off for the week with this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. That's because usual Monday guest Kyle Hunter joined us on Wednesday this week instead. With host Adam Burke unable to do the show and Kyle under the weather anyway, we started a day later, but we're happy to be going full steam ahead now. Adam and Kyle took a look at four conference championship games, as they chatted about UAB vs. Middle Tennessee in the Conference USA Championship Game, Louisiana vs. Appalachian State for the Sun Belt Championship Game, Georgia vs. Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and Northwestern vs. Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Wes Reynolds also joined us for this week's Wednesday Wagering segment. The guys talked about Colts vs. Jaguars and Chargers vs. Steelers. The guys also talked about the ACC vs. Big Ten Challenge results from last night and then looked at tonight's matchups, including North Carolina vs. Michigan and Purdue vs. Florida State.

We started our week on BangTheBook Radio just a little bit later this week. Brian Blessing was the leadoff hitter for host Adam Burke with today's Betting the Board segment. The guys took a look at Thursday's Saints vs. Cowboys game and then moved on to Bills vs. Dolphins and then took a college football look at the MAC Title Game between Northern Illinois and Buffalo. The guys also took a look at the landscape in the NHL with a big card tonight and a lot of interesting handicaps.

Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com was next up on the show with some college football and college basketball thoughts. The guys dug into the college football side of the equation first by looking at Utah vs. Washington, Texas vs. Oklahoma, and Fresno State vs. Boise State. All of those are conference championship games. Then they talked about college basketball and the ACC vs. Big Ten Challenge. They also talked about where things currently stand and about how oddsmakers and sportsbooks are adjusting.
