The Gambler With Adam Kaufman

August 24, 2023: Host Adam Kaufman (Twitter @adammkaufman) is joined by guests Colby Dant (@tceonsgpn) from "The College Experience," MassLive's Karen Guregian (@kguregian), Sports Illustrated's John Hendrix (@johnjhendrix), and Scott Reynolds (@pewterreport) from the Pewter Report. NFL preseason's fun and all, but football returns for REAL with Week 0 at the college ranks Saturday. Dant goes game-by-game to offer his favorite locks and leans across the seven matchups. Guregian touches on Friday's preseason finale for the Patriots, whether starters will play, and what type of role we should expect to see from Ezekiel Elliott in the regular season. The show's tour of the NFC heads to the South with the Saints and Buccaneers. Hendrix is bullish on Derek Carr's fit in New Orleans, but not as high as he is on Chris Olave as an NFL sophomore. Reynolds believes the Buccaneers are being disrespected and are positioned well to overachieve. Plus, our new guy, Bryan Butt, makes his first show bet!
