Double Down Trent

Are the 3-0 Chicago Bears a real threat in the NCF North now that Nick Foles is under center? The Aaron Rodgers "Spite Season" continues as the Packers offense is averaging 40 points per game after the first 3 weeks. The NFC East is such a dumpster fire and the Double Down Trent crew tries to figure out which New York team is worse. And we have our first Dr. Melfi session of the season as Ryan tries to come to terms with his beloved New York Football Giants being embarrassing for the third straight season. What his solution? Listen to episode 80 now to find out. Spoiler alert: It involves Dave Gettleman being "taken care of" the way Tony Soprano solves problems. 

Ryan, Aaron and Coulter take a look back at Week 2 and discuss the pure carnage it produced. Not only in terms of player injuries, but also in our picks. We tackle some of our favorite topics like Bad Coaches, which includes Dan Quinn, Matt Patricia and of course Adam Gase. But Week 3 is here and the slate of games looks fantastic highlighted by the Sunday and Monday night games, Packers vs Saints and Chiefs vs Ravens. tmrSFrCeIDKhU4pmO9M2

What did we learn about the NFL in week 1? Some things change, and some things stay painfully the same. The Browns, Bengals, Lions, Jets and Giants continue to struggle and our favorite punching bags Bill O'Brien and Matt Patricia make some head-scratching decisions. Aaron and Ryan breakdown the key takeaways from week 1 and then look ahead to Week 2. Seahawks vs Patriots headline the slate of games for Week 2 and Ryan provides a gambling motto to stick with. 

The NFL is back and so is the Man vs Model Challenge. Go to doubledowntrent.com to submit your picks and play along Ryan, Aaron and Coulter. We discuss some of the interesting storylines such that this season brings. No fans in the stadium takes away major homefield advantage for teams like the Saints and Seahawks. Also, no preseason games could mean that Vegas doesn't trust its Week 1 lines. A lot of value on the board this week as we deliver some best bets and a few prop bets.

Now that sports have (mostly) returned to action, Double Down Trent is back as well. Ryan, Aaron and Coulter talk about what the NBA, NHL and MLB are doing well like scheduling playoff games during the middle of the day and giving us something to watch around the clock. We also discuss some of the big losers so far, like the Big 10 Conference and the 7 inning doubleheaders in MLB. Then we shift our attention to the NFL as it appears they are going full speed ahead with their season. We are giving you some Team win totals, Rookie of the Year candidates and a few other bets to consider before the season.

What's the best "Gangster Movie" of all time? What makes a movie a "gangster movie"? Ryan, Coulter and Hews are breaking down these topics and also put together their own top 5 lists. We made a few rules such as "The Godfather "and "Godfather Part 2" cannot be on your list because they are universally accepted as being in the Top 5. The other big rule is that you can only pick 1 movie per director (we're looking at you Martin Scorsese). 

Coulter and Ryan are talking all things AFC East and for the first time in 20 years, it finally feels wide open. Tom Brady took his talents to South Beach, excuse me, Tampa Bay, and the Patriots are no longer the betting favorites to win the division. In addition to who will win the division, Coulter and Ryan are talking individual prop bets that you might want to look at. Players like Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and LeVeon Bell. We also have a few value plays and long shoots to consider.

The Michael Jordan documentary is about to wrap up so Coulter and Ryan discuss the high points of the series. The seventh episode was exactly what we were waiting for, and it delivered big time. Then, we pivot to the NFL as its possibly the only thing we can bet on right now. We discuss Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year winners as well as MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year.

The 2020 NFL Draft was a major success for Roger Goodell and company as it recorded the highest viewership in the history of the draft. Ryan welcomes on Double Down Trent's very own NFL Insider Coulter and resident Pats fan Hews to break it all down. Of course we discuss how our teams did as the Giants, Pats and Broncos all had solid drafts. Who are the big winners? Who are the big losers? 

With the NFL Draft here Aaron, Ryan and Coulter talk about some of the most intriguing gambling lines to consider. For instance, would you bet Burrow-Young-Tua for being the first three picks of the draft? We have the odds for that as well as a few other combinations that have value. Over or Under 2.5 players from the ACC picked in the first round? Plus a lot more betting options. Then, our resident Patriots fan Hews joins to talk about the return of Gronk, and to see if he will now be a Bucs fan.
