RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg talk all things basketball and nfl free agency. NFL Free Agency and Team Moves
Quarterback Transactions
Geno Smith was traded from Seattle Seahawks to Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick.
Sam Darnold signed a three-year, $100 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
Davante Adams joined the Rams after being released by the Jets, leaving Cooper Kupp without a team.
Josh Palmer signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Buffalo Bills, while the Chargers opted not to re-sign him despite having ample cap space.
High-spending teams often struggle: Historically, top-2 spenders in free agency have underperformed against the spread (ATS).
Houston Texans' veteran approach: Compared to the Bills, they are taking a more conservative approach to free agency.
Kansas City Chiefs' offseason strategy: Signed a veteran Pittsburgh tackle while franchising guard Trey Smith, aiming to protect Patrick Mahomes.
Scott outlines a systematic approach to picking March Madness winners:
96% of national champions since 2001 had a top 21 KenPom offense.
91% of champions had a top 31 KenPom defense.
Guard play and three-point shooting are critical factors.
Houston is favored to win the championship due to their elite three-point shooting (4th in the nation) and senior leadership.
First-half unders are effective in early tournament games due to tight play and conservative approaches.
Second-half overs are valuable, as teams foul aggressively to stay in the game.
If a favorite is down 14 points with three minutes to go, bet the over, as the game will extend due to intentional fouls.
Oklahoma City Thunder tend to score significantly more in the second half.
Analysis: Fezzik highlights that favorites outperformed underdogs last year, making it difficult for bettors who prefer dogs and unders.2. RJ Bell on Houston's Free Agency Strategy (59:10 - 59:36)“Whenever you go for a veteran, like the Bills did with Von Miller and Diggs... it hardly ever works.”
Analysis: RJ critiques the Texans’ reliance on veteran free agents, implying that big free agency spending often leads to diminishing returns.
3. Scott Seidenberg on March Madness Strategy (1:26:34 - 1:27:43)“Give me the guard play. Give me the three-point shooting. Houston, the national champs at +750.”
Analysis: Scott backs Houston for the NCAA title, citing elite guard play and three-point efficiency as historical indicators of championship success.Final Thoughts
