A summary of his thoughts on the NFC South, the teams he previewed for us at BTB, wrapped up that segment.

To finish things up for this week, Adam took the reins once again and hit on the college football games that we had not covered previously throughout the week. He also gave a few MLB betting tips for this weekend and beyond as rosters are about to expand.

A big Tuesday show is on hand this week as host Adam Burke is once again joined by Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio, and also Ralph Michaels, professional handicapper from WagerTalk.com. Week 4 of the NFL Preseason is here, which means that most of the starters will sit as a precautionary measure for the start of the regular season. Adam and Brian will talk about how to approach this week and also about what we've learned in the preseason so far. The guys will also take a deep look at the Dell Technologies Championship, which is the second FedEx Cup playoffs event.

Ralph Michaels, professional handicapper from WagerTalk.com, will join us to chat college football. The guys will look at power ratings updates coming out of Week 0 and also with some of this week's announcements. They'll also hit Syracuse vs. Western Michigan, San Diego State vs. Stanford, FAU vs. Oklahoma, NIU vs. Iowa, Washington vs. Auburn, and wrap things up with the Pick Six segment with six games in rapid fire fashion.

The appetizer portion of the college football season is done and now we can get into the main course. Host Adam Burke was joined by Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com to break down the Week 1 action. The guys will talk about making power ratings adjustments and about what we saw over the first weekend of the season. Then they'll look at Thursday's Week 1 games, with a focus on UCF vs. UConn, Northwestern vs. Purdue, New Mexico State vs. Minnesota, and Wake Forest vs. Tulane. They also brought back the Pick Six segment with six games in rapid fire fashion to add some more analysis for this week.

With Joe Everett unable to join us (don't worry, we'll talk with him Wednesday), Adam wrapped up the show with some baseball betting talk, as he dug into the numbers of some pitchers in line for some regression based on what they've done since the All-Star Break. He also talked about some MLB betting angles for September and gave out a couple picks for Monday and Tuesday.

A full week on BangTheBook Radio came to a close on Friday with another fine edition of the show. Host Adam Burke got together with Ken Barkley, aka Locky Lockerson, to finish up the talk about the Pac-12, touch on the Big 12, and also the Ohio State futures situation. We finally got a different opinion on the Wyoming vs. New Mexico State game to kick off the segment and then took a deep dive into the Pac-12 South to touch on futures prices, new coaches, and the team in the best position to knock off USC. Thoughts on the "anybody but Oklahoma?" Big 12 and a look at the National Championship betting market with regards to Ohio State wrapped up the segment.

With a few minutes to finish out the show, Adam talked about the current landscape in Major League Baseball and talked about how to evaluate situational betting and sort through some of the narratives being created at this time of the year.

Two professional handicappers join us on this Thursday August 23 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will first chat college football with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com, as the guys talk about whether or not they will adjust Ohio State based on the Urban Meyer suspension. They'll also look at Saturday's four games to kick off the season and then look ahead to Week 1. They'll talk about when line moves will show up and Thursday's matchups.

Tony George from Doc's Sports will also join us today, as the guys take a look at the NFL Preseason for Week 3. It's Dress Rehearsal Week, which means we should see the starters for more time than we've seen them in the previous two games. Adam and Tony will discuss the Chiefs vs. Bears matchup and also the game between the Texans and the Rams. They'll also touch on some look-ahead thoughts for next week's college football betting action.

Two smart men join a decent radio show host on the Wednesday August 22 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will be joined by professional handicapper Bryan Leonard of WagerTalk.com to chat about how to handicap late-season Major League Baseball and then preview the Big 12. We won't be able to talk a lot of baseball going forward on BangTheBook Radio, so this was a good opportunity to plant some seeds for the remaining six weeks of MLB betting. Adam and Bryan also took an in-depth look at the Big 12, with frontrunner Oklahoma and a bunch of hopefuls.

Ed Feng from The Power Rank joined us to talk about a few interesting betting concepts in the college football world. Adam and Ed talked about the impact that the preseason polls can actually have in the betting markets. The AP Top 25 is out and so is the Coaches Poll, so the guys chatted about what you can use that information for going forward. They also talked about applying linear regression to college football to find good betting opportunities.

Three different sports betting markets will be covered on this Tuesday August 21 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will talk with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline first, as the guys take a look at Week 3 of the NFL Preseason and also break down The Northern Trust, the first event in the FedEx Cup playoffs. It's "Dress Rehearsal" Week in the NFL, so Adam and Brian will look at teams with choices to make and evaluate how coaches will handle these games. On the golf side, after a near-miss at the PGA Championship, is this the week for Tiger Woods to get a win?

Ralph Michaels, professional handicapper from WagerTalk.com, joins us to chat NFL Preseason and also college football. The guys will talk about some NFL betting angles for Week 3 of the preseason and then transition to the college side. Ralph has a few key betting points for Week 0 and Week 1 and the guys will also look at Wyoming vs. New Mexico State and Hawaii vs. Colorado State. A detailed breakdown of the Sun Belt Conference will wrap up today's show.

A new week begins on BangTheBook Radio as we have actual, real-life college football games to talk about. We also have a Monday Night Football game! It almost feels normal. Host Adam Burke will start with Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The guys will talk Ravens vs. Colts with Andrew Luck expected to play into the second quarter. They'll also talk Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the Denver Broncos, and Todd Haley.

Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joins us for this week's College Football First Look. The guys will talk about Saturday's two FBS matchups, with Wyoming vs. New Mexico State and Hawaii vs. Colorado State before breaking down the ACC to look at one of the deepest conferences in the country. Clemson and Miami are heavy favorites, but there is a lot of intrigue to the rest of the league.
