Double Down Trent

We welcome Seth Greenberg to the show to discuss all things college basketball and how he thinks the NBA could return to action. We get some great stories about beating Coach K, which coach has the best and worst post-game handshake, and Seth also gives us a nice Michael Jordan story. We also get Seth's take on Netflix's hit show Tiger King as well some golf and pizza stories. We are all waiting for an invitations from Jay Bilas to play a round of golf. Go follow him on Twitter @SethOnHoops and subscribe to his podcast Courtside with Greenberg & Dakich.

Ryan and Coulter discuss AMC's Better Call Saul, the incredibly well made spin-off/prequel of Breaking Bad. While Saul may have started slowly, it has earned a spot amongst TV's best shows and is making a run at is predecessor as a Mount Rushmore show. Ryan and Coulter breakdown the many plotlines that make this show so good, discuss some of the new characters like Kim Wexler, Nacho and Lalo Salamanca. Needless to say, if you have not watched Saul or Breaking Bad, there are a lot of spoilers. And if you haven't seen either of those shows, please go watch them now.

The calendar has turned to March and that can only mean one thing, March Madness. This episode we are previewing 4 of NCAA Conference tournaments and make our picks. We welcome back our Insider Coulter as we discuss the Big 10, the Pac 12, the ACC and the Big 12. In our second segment, we focus our attention back to the NFL and Tom Brady. Our beat reporter Hews has been tracking Tom's every move and lets us know his thoughts on a possible landing spot (29:09). And of course, we are giving the listeners the odds and future bets that you might want to put down for both the Conference Tournaments as well as Tom Brady's next team.

2019 was a good year for movies and this weekend's Oscars will declare the winner of the Best Picture along with all the acting and directing awards. Joker has the most nominations with 11, which was a major surprise to a lot of people. But right behind it are Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman and 1917.  We set the line for win totals for these movies and gamble on whether they will go Over or Under the lines set by Aaron. Will there be any major surprises? Will their be a Yorgos gambling line that looks too good to be true? Can Parasite become the first International film to win Best Picture? We discuss that and more on Episode 67.

The Super Bowl is finally here as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs. There are plenty of storylines here even though it feels like there isn't much juice to this game. Our NFL Insider Coulter joins us to talk about two potential dynasties in the making. Both of these teams have young quarterbacks and talent all over their rosters. Patrick Mahomes feels like the obvious choice here but Handsome Jimmy G has a lot of star power as well. We provide the listeners with plenty of prop bets that you may want to drop $1 on such as "First Player to Score" and "What color will the Gatorade shower be". But then we cover a few bets that are more likely to hit, and should be on your radar for larger sized bets. Finally, we make our picks for who we think will win the game, as well as picking the Over/Under

We take a look back at the 2019 College Football Season to get a better picture of how the Model performed. Aaron gives the listeners a rare peak behind the curtain as we look at things like Closing Line Value, Winning Percentages and Year over Year performance metrics. What if I told you that this episode contains both high-level understanding of gambling strategies, but also has clips from The Fast and The Furious, Rounders AND Zoolander? This episode is truly representative of our slogan, "Sports, Gambling and Pop Culture". 

Start the NFL Championship Weekend off on the right foot with a brand new episode of Double Down Trent. We look back at the Divisional Round which included a stunning upset of the Ravens and one of the most insane, crazy gambling games of all time between the Texans and the Chiefs. We discuss how Bill O'Brien possibly has a job left and then we preview the upcoming Championship Games. This weekend's game feature two rematches from earlier this season, the Titans vs Chiefs and the Packers vs 49ers. Our insider Coulter has a Super Bowl parlay from September and both of his teams are still alive. Should he hedge? The model breaks it down for you, as well as a few prop bets you may (or may not) want to jump in on. 

The NFL Wildcard Weekend did not disappoint as we had close games, overtime endings and PLENTY of questionable coaching decisions. Ryan and Coulter breakdown some of the key decisions that swung some of these games, and wonder why so many bad coaching moves were made. With the news of Joe Judge being hired by the New York Giants, of course Ryan has some thoughts, plus a really intriguing conspiracy theory you don't want to miss. Then they look ahead at the Divisional Round match-ups and there are some big spreads on the board. Should you ride the underdogs and take the points, or go BIG TRUSS and roll with the better teams? Finally, LSU takes on Clemson for the College National Championship and it is shaping up to be an incredible game. The line on this game from Vegas has Coulter and Ryan scratching their heads, but tune in to see who they pick.

Its a new year, and as such Double Down Trent reflects back on their preseason picks. The Man, the Model and our NFL Insider Coulter looked at team win totals and predicted other over/unders for several teams. How did we do? Well, not great Bob. That included taking over 6 wins for the New York Giants. Then we look ahead to the NFL Wildcard Weekend of games. We are sticking to our competition, one regular pick and 1 key pick, but we've added a few wrinkles. We are adding in the over/under as a option to choose as well as a Challenge, in which you can directly oppose someone's picks. 

Ryan is out sick on his death bed, so Aaron and NFL Insider Coulter brave NFL Week 17 alone. The boys go in reverse order starting with their NFL Week 17 picks, before reviewing the NFL Week 16 - the week that was. Ryan is going to need a therapy session with his Giants winning (and scuttling any potential of a top draft pick) and the boys are in a sprint to see who will win the overall pool for the NFL regular season.
