FirstDown RunDown

Hayden and Matt dive deep into betting odds and their relation to win percentage according to ESPN BPI and FiveThirtyEight. Also on the show is a little Stanley Cup Finals preview as well as a U.S. Open preview accompanied by some Super Bowl and shaky NFL team predictions for the upcoming season.

Matt is back on the pod and the two brothers discuss the recent controversy that took place on Tuesday during the media day for the LIV Golf Tour. Do people really have reason to be mad? Who should they be mad at? Plus, will the Rangers be able to pull together an incredible comeback for the 3rd straight series? Or will the Lightning be headed back to the Stanley Cup Finals for a 3rd straight year?

Hayden goes solo for this one and talks about some key takeaways from Game 2 of the NBA Finals as well as how the Avalanche are so good at defending players like Connor McDavid. Also: does Aaron Donald really deserve the amount of money he got? Hayden says yes and explains why the inner workings of the contract actually give Donald a lot of options.

The brothers are back in person to talk about why people might have been too high on the Warriors heading into the Finals. An argument is also made against Golden State's finesse style of play and how it sets the Celtics up perfectly. Plus, will the Lightning be able to stop the absolute tear that the Rangers are on right now?

Hayden and Matt evaluate what happened in each NBA Conference Finals series and give some predictions for the Finals that are to come. Also on the pod is some early NBA Draft talk: which of the top 3 prospects in this year's draft will go #1 overall? And finally, what's been up with Ferrari recently and why have they seemed to crumble in each of the past two races after dominating in qualifying?

The brothers talk about the weird dynamic of NBA Playoff games being blowouts much more often than one would think this year. Plus, they hold a deep discussion about DeAndre Ayton's future in Phoenix and why the Suns should do away with him, give some background on the somewhat predictable fall of Mito Pereira on the last day of the PGA Championship, and finally evaluate whether the Lightning are headed to their 3rd straight Stanley Cup.

Hayden and Matt bring on a good friend, Mitchell Marcus (who also appeared on Season 1), to talk some end-of-season English Premier League hype: what's at stake, who is set to succeed and who isn't, and of course we had to throw in a couple betting locks. Also on the episode is a RunDown of the Nick Saban/Jimbo Fisher beef and how NIL plays into it, and finally a conversation on if Marcus Smart is actually as valuable to the Celtics as fans are making him out to be.

Matt goes solo on this episode, discussing how the Mavericks might not be better off getting Luka more players. Then he dives into the Suns collapse and what might be going on behind the scenes. We have to mention the NFL Schedule Release and what this means for teams throughout the league, as well as Tom Brady's HUGE new deal with FOX that hopefully delivers as much as we think it should. Finally, Matt wraps up by explaining how the NHL games are featuring so much more scoring, as well as a preview of this week's PGA Championship. Please subscribe, leave a review, and tell a friend! Enjoy!

The brothers sound off on the 76ers and how the Harden-Simmons trade has essentially fit in perfectly to the narrative we've been seeing in Philly over the past few years. Also on the show is some NHL Playoff Would You Rathers and a You're Wrong Man of the week!

Hayden and Matt talk about the impossible winner of the Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike, and discuss just how improbable this Kentucky Derby turned out to be. Also on the show is an appraisal of whether Max Verstappen will continue his tear in Formula One to the end of the season and a diagnosis of why Mercedes has seemed to have fallen off a cliff this year.
