November 17, 2025 SOVam Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !!
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action from week 11. The guys also preview MNF Dallas at Raiders
The episode recaps NFL Week 11, starting with the 49ers’ dominant 41–22 win behind Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey as they keep pace in the NFC West. The hosts break down Eagles–Lions Sunday Night Football, where Philadelphia won 16–9 in a defensive struggle marked by questionable officiating, Detroit’s 0-for-5 fourth-down failures, and one of Jared Goff’s worst performances as pressure forced errant throws and stalled drives. They discuss league-wide analytics trends, like Miami opting not to kick a late field goal in a 16–13 win over Washington, contrasting aggressive versus conservative decision-making. The NFC North race tightens as Chicago beats Minnesota, exposing concerns about rookie QB J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings’ sputtering offense, while Detroit still appears capable of rebounding despite injuries and a tough remaining schedule. Survivor pools saw minimal carnage, with the Patriots widely chosen and victorious; only small Falcons, Vikings, and a lone Chiefs pick were eliminated. The Chiefs’ 22–19 loss to Denver raises questions but the hosts still expect Mahomes to get them into the playoffs despite their 0–5 record in one-score games. Downgrades include Kansas City, Detroit, Tennessee and Minnesota; upgrades go to the Patriots, Bills and Bears as market ratings shift based on injuries and performance. Quarterback injuries pile up: Aaron Rodgers’ wrist fracture, Michael Penix Jr.’s aggravated knee, Justin Herbert’s uncertain status, Dylan Gabriel’s concussion leading to Shador Sanders’ debut, and Josh Jacobs’ non-season-ending knee issue. They highlight Jacoby Brissett’s NFL-record 47 completions in a loss to the 49ers, big receiving days for Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, and Purdy’s efficient three-TD outing. Looking ahead, the 49ers face a soft stretch versus Carolina, Cleveland and Tennessee. For Monday Night Football, the Cowboys visit the Raiders as 3.5-point favorites with a 49.5 total; Dallas’ explosive offense contrasts with its weak defense and Vegas’ struggling offense. The hosts expect points, leaning to Dallas’ team total over, Dak Prescott’s overs, Brock Bowers’ receiving overs, and even some Geno Smith passing props due to Dallas’ vulnerable secondary. They close with best bets: Cavaliers -6.5 in the NBA, Brock Bowers receiving and receptions overs, and laying the massive number with Oklahoma City against New Orleans after the Pelicans’ coaching change and poor form, expecting a blowout.

November 15, 2025 NBA Weekend Preview + Best Bets !!
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend.
The NBA pod opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers running through key injuries and early-season trends, starting with Jalen Brunson’s grade-one ankle sprain and Mack’s view that his value to the line has dipped as New York evolves beyond a Brunson-centric offense. They discuss the Hawks thriving defensively without Trae Young and whether the Knicks can mirror that dynamic with Bridges and Anunoby taking on more facilitation. Paolo Banchero’s groin issue is next, with Mack noting the timing hurts Orlando just as its offense was improving. They touch on LeBron’s return to a Lakers team that’s started well behind Luka and Austin Reaves, but Mack doubts LA’s true strength given their soft schedule and negative net rating. The Clippers’ bleak outlook follows: Beal’s season-ending injury, Kawhi’s worrisome foot-ankle-tendon chain, poor roster construction, and Mack’s three-point downgrade leading him to think they’ll miss the playoffs. Munaf notes LA’s 3–8 start and wonders if they’ll eventually blow it up; Mack doubts the trade market would give them meaningful return. They then shift to the league’s three one-win teams — Brooklyn, Indiana, and Washington — with Indiana’s mountain of guard injuries dragging them down, Brooklyn being exactly as bad as projected, and Washington playing an absurd pace that inflates opponent scoring and creates easy team-total overs. Discussion moves to Houston’s elite but low-pace offense and how fast-playing opponents, like Washington, artificially boost Houston’s scoring ceiling. They revisit the firing of Mavs GM Nico Harrison after the controversial Luka-for-AD trade; both hosts believe the move likely came from ownership rather than the front office, noting how illogical the trade was on basketball grounds. Munaf and Mack then debate Mack’s question of the week: Would you take OKC and Denver versus the field to win the title? Mack argues the betting market undervalues this combo, giving them ~43% implied odds, while he thinks OKC and Denver are clearly the two best teams, with OKC even better than last year despite missing Jalen Williams and SGA playing at a historic efficiency level, and Denver pairing elite cohesion with Jokic’s playoff elevation. They consider the Rockets as the next-best Western challenger and view the Warriors as dangerously thin behind Curry. The Timberwolves get credit for consistently battling Denver with Gobert’s Jokic defense, while the Spurs’ young core remains too inexperienced to threaten top teams. They preview Lakers–Bucks with both on a back-to-back, leaning Lakers due to better rhythm and the disruption of Giannis returning mid-stride, and then Nuggets–Wolves, where Mack prefers Minnesota as a home dog given Denver’s soft early schedule and Minnesota’s matchup strengths. The pod wraps with best bets: Mack taking OKC to win the title at +210, citing market inertia, and Munaf taking Clippers to miss the playoffs at plus money given age, injuries, poor construction, and likely sell-off potential, before closing with brief notes on Phoenix’s strong start despite injuries and plans for more game-focused pods ahead.

November 14, 2025 CBB Friday/Saturday Preview !!
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball for Friday and Saturday.
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben break down upcoming college basketball matchups for the weekend, revisiting their early-season bets and observations. They start with Arizona vs UCLA at the Intuit Dome, debating home-court dynamics and lineup strengths, with both leaning toward UCLA as undervalued despite early struggles. They move to BYU vs UConn in Boston, discussing BYU’s shift away from ball movement, concerns over efficiency, and UConn’s defensive reliability, with Ben favoring UConn while Griffin worries about BYU’s depth. They dive into Clemson vs Georgetown, contrasting KenPom and Torvik projections, critiquing Clemson’s roster turnover, and noting Georgetown’s strong defensive pieces despite awful three-point shooting; Ben likes the under, Griffin leans Georgetown. They preview Houston vs Auburn in Birmingham, emphasizing Houston’s physicality, Auburn’s flawed roster, and questions about Bruce Pearl’s absence, with both expecting Houston to control the matchup. Ben presents his best bet: High Point -2.5 at UAB, praising High Point’s talent, depth, and upside while mocking UAB’s transfers and program direction. Griffin’s best bet is Georgetown as a short home underdog or up to -3, backing Buzz Williams’ early momentum. They close with promo details, scheduling notes, jokes about their dads’ picks, and plans for more episodes as the season ramps up.

November 13, 2025 NFL Week 11 Contest Pod Picks !!
Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler talk NFL contest podcast.
On this Week 11 NFL Contest Podcast, Munaf Manji hosts McKenzie Rivers and Uncle Dave Essler as they recap Circa Survivor results, ATS contest performance, and dive into their picks. Survivor dropped from 1,769 to 1,000 entries after heavy eliminations on the Panthers and Bills, with implied value at $18,718. McKenzie leads off with his best bet: Giants–Packers over 43.5, arguing historically fired-coach games trend over, especially when the interim coach is offensive-minded, and noting Jameis Winston’s volatility driving fireworks and overs. He views the market wrongly dragging the total down. Munaf agrees on Green Bay offensive urgency and New York’s defensive issues, leaning Giants +7. Dave pushes back, preferring the under due to forecasted rain and wind in New York, expecting Green Bay to run and limit pace. The group embraces the value in hearing both sides. Dave’s pick is Chargers over Jaguars, citing Jacksonville’s inconsistency, Trevor Lawrence’s regression, lack of trust from teammates, run-game issues, key injuries, and a deflating blown lead to Houston. Munaf agrees, noting the offensive injuries and mental state of Jacksonville. McKenzie calls both teams fraudulent and wants to fade the winner later. Munaf’s pick is Bills -5.5 vs Buccaneers, a bounce-back spot after a nasty Miami loss, with Buffalo’s run game through James Cook and Tampa’s cluster injuries at WR/RB. Dave agrees, citing weather favoring Buffalo’s ground game, Mayfield’s inexperience in those conditions, and adjusted scores suggesting Buffalo didn’t play as poorly as the box score indicated. Survivor talk: Dave likes Vikings over Bears, noting Chicago’s inflated record from weak opponents, poor defense, and Minnesota’s home edge. Munaf thinks the Cowboys or Chargers are viable if available. McKenzie says his and Dan’s survivor entry still alive and prefers Patriots as the top play, Ravens as second choice. They close with shoutouts to Sleepy Jay, pregame promotions, and plans for next week.

November 12, 2025 Bermuda Championship & DP World Tour Championship Picks
Will Doctor has sharpest mind in the world of golf and gets you ready for this weeks big golf events. Find out why everyone is now listening to @drmedia59 for his weekly golf suggestions.
Bermuda & Dubai Golf Picks – Doc’s Redemption Card for Week 45
Will Doctor returned to Pregame’s Golf Preview podcast down 17.4 units but fully dialed in for the Bermuda Championship and the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. After recapping Ben Griffin’s third PGA Tour win and another “movie” finish for Aaron Rye, Doc framed Bermuda’s Port Royal as the ultimate equalizer — a 6,800-yard coastal track where wind trumps power and players grind for cards, not glory. He broke down the favorites: Rico Hoey (22-1) fading on Bermuda greens, Thorbjorn Olesen (22-1) a pass due to poor wind splits, and Nico Echevarria (28-1) his key play — elite on this surface, top-20 (+110) locked in. Supporting tickets: Matti Schmid (35-1 outright and +300 top 10) riding form from Cabo; veteran Matt Kuchar (40-1) whose precision game and Bermuda prowess mirror past wins at Mayakoba and Sony; and value sleeper Vince Whaley (+300 top 10) chasing another Port Royal top-finish. His DFS card stacked those names with David Ford and Will Chandler for salary balance. Shifting to Dubai, Doc highlighted a star-packed Earth Course: Rory McIlroy, already lending his name to the new “Rory Award,” and Tommy Fleetwood, both scorching hot after Abu Dhabi. His DP World Tour tickets were minimal but potent — Fleetwood top-5 (+110) and McIlroy to win (4-1). As the 2025 season wanes, Doc vowed to claw back the deficit with precision plays, coastal form analysis, and full transparency. His message: bankroll bruised but conviction unshaken — Bermuda and Dubai are redemption week

November 12, 2025 NFL Survivor Week 11 Entries
NFL Survivor Week 10 – Broncos the Pick, Colts Overreach, and Lessons from the Board
As Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera hit the midpoint of the NFL Survivor season, their focus sharpened after cruising through Week 9 with the Rams and eyeing Week 10’s Thursday matchup in Denver. The pod opened with a fiery debate over the Colts’ blockbuster trade for Sauce Gardner — Rivera blasting GM Chris Ballard’s “all-in” gamble after years of bad drafting, while Rivers agreed the move screams desperation more than championship intent. With survivor strategy in mind, they shifted to this week’s slate, identifying the Broncos as the sharp early-week play: a rested home favorite facing a Raiders team gasping after an overtime road loss and heading into altitude. Rivera admitted discomfort with Bo Nix’s inconsistency but trusted Denver’s elite defense and the short-rest trend crushing visiting teams off overtime games. Rivers backed him with data — such teams are just 7-18 ATS since 2012 — and both hosts agreed the Broncos’ defense is the league’s steadiest unit by line-of-scrimmage metrics. They compared alternatives: Bills-Dolphins (potential letdown after KC win), Lions-Commanders (Detroit bounce-back vs. collapsing Washington), and long-term planning for Seattle’s Week 12 spot at Tennessee. Wrapping with trademark sarcasm and sponsor plugs, the duo declared the official Survivor play for Week 10 is Denver — no spreads, no hedges, just survival. Their mantra: pick stability, fade exhaustion, and stay alive one ugly favorite at a time

November 10, 2025 SOVam Weekend Rewind + MNF Preview !!
SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for week 10 and preview Monday Night Football Eagles at Packers.
Straight Outta Vegas AM Weekend Rewind: Sleepy J filled in for Munaf Manji with Mackenzie Rivers to recap NFL Week 10 and preview Monday Night Football. They opened with MVP talk: Drake May’s Patriots are rolling, his odds now 3-1 with three winnable games ahead; Sleepy argued that even if he posts modest stats, continued wins will push him near even money, so bet him now. Mackenzie agreed, noting MVP favorites often fall after one loss and the Patriots’ schedule and QB narrative keep May in pole position. Discussion shifted to Survivor pools—Sleepy liked the Panthers and Bills setups that both backfired; Mackenzie stressed survival over cleverness, saying the Broncos were safer than Carolina. They moved to upgrades: Patriots and Seahawks each +1 point, legitimate conference contenders; then Mackenzie’s top-five teams: Rams, Chiefs, Bills, Seahawks, Packers, while Sleepy leaned Eagles #1 as defending champs pacing themselves. Downgrades centered on Arizona after a 28-0 blowout; both debated Denver vs Buffalo with Mackenzie downgrading the Bills more, citing Josh Allen’s slump. They discussed market reactions: short-term line moves aren’t knee-jerk but reflect meaningful data in small NFL samples. On coaching hot seats, Mike McDaniel’s win over the Bills cooled pressure, while Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon looked doomed amid poor locker-room support and Kyler Murray uncertainty. Turning to Monday Night Football—Eagles at Packers, line GB -1, total 45½—Mackenzie favored Green Bay as a buy-low home team versus an overrated Eagles squad ranking mid-league in EPA and PFF metrics. Sleepy countered that Philly remains the better, deeper, rested team and likely to reassert itself as title form returns; despite Green Bay’s rush defense, missing WR Reed limits their attack. Mackenzie’s “pizza bet” best play was Packers +1, expecting hunger after a loss and a flat Philly favored -3000 in the NFC East. Sleepy’s best bet was a prop: Dallas Goddard over 32.5 yards. Rationale—Packers’ elite rush D forces Hurts to throw; Goddard is his go-to safety blanket, and Green Bay ranks near bottom defending tight ends. Sleepy projected 5–7 catches and about double the posted yardage. Mackenzie endorsed that prop, noting edges lie more in player markets than tight game lines. They agreed the matchup should be tight, around 23-20, decided late, making props the sharper angle. Closing banter covered Mackenzie’s dormant X account and upcoming Instagram picks, joking about his social-media withdrawals. They reminded listeners to follow @sleepyJ and @MackenzieRivers, check pregame.com, and wished everyone good luck.

November 08, 2025 CBB Weekend Preview + Best Bets !!
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk CBB weekend hoops action. Best bets as always.
Emilio “Griffin” Warner hosts the Need for Seeds College Basketball Podcast with Big East Ben on the Pregame.com network, diving into early-season NCAA hoops. They recap matchups like Arizona–Florida and Texas–Duke before Ben spotlights IU Indy, calling the Jaguars’ relentless pressing style revolutionary, comparing it to hockey shifts. They discuss the team’s DII coach Ben Howlett and their up-tempo system before previewing major weekend games. First up, Arkansas at Michigan State: Ben favors Izzo’s Spartans for their home-court edge, rebounding, and transition play, noting they were strong ATS and an under team last year. Griffin agrees, citing cohesion and home crowd importance while teasing the under. Next, Alabama vs St. John’s at MSG: Ben praises Patino’s transformed Johnnies, citing balanced offense led by Hopkins, Jackson, and Sellers. Griffin questions the line but sides with home court, both agreeing St. John’s should cover. Their banter wanders through mayoral satire and MSG’s “wine and cheese crowd.” For Oklahoma vs Gonzaga in Spokane, Ben expects OU to hang within 11 points, doubting Gonzaga’s new backcourt of Braden Smith and Adam Miller, though acknowledging a strong frontcourt with E.K. and Grant-Foster. Griffin shares amusement at Miller’s on-court antics and warns against fading the Zags too early, leaning to the over if the Sooners keep pace. Sunday’s neutral-site Marquette–Indiana matchup follows, projected near Indiana -2, total 152. They debate Marquette’s athletic rebuild under Shaka Smart after losing Cam Jones, Joplin, and Mitchell, with Sean Jones and Chase Ross stepping up. Ben predicts a scrappy, defense-driven start and likes the first-half under. Griffin favors Marquette’s athleticism and depth, doubting IU’s cohesion under new coach Darian DeVries, whom Ben criticizes for jumping jobs and holding back his son’s eligibility. They joke about DeVries joining Ben’s “moral shit list,” riff on Dan Dakich, NIL hypocrisy, and even player names. Griffin emphasizes Marquette’s underdog value and crowd support in Chicago, envisioning a close finish. The show closes with betting picks: Ben’s best bet is George Washington +1.5 vs South Florida at Mohegan Sun, fading USF’s transfer-heavy roster. Griffin’s best bet is Michigan State -1 over Arkansas, highlighting home strength and early-season intensity. They plug promo code COLLEGE75 for $75 off season-long picks, encouraging listeners to subscribe through March Madness. The podcast ends with humor, mutual jabs, and gratitude to fans, promising more weekly episodes as college football winds down.
