Week 9 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 63)
Welcome to Week 9! Dan and Matt are back at it to drill down their five favorite picks for the week against the spread. We start in LA with the Chargers, but an early disagreement doesn't land that game in our final picks (3:50). What does make our list is the Seahawks heading to Buffalo as underdogs (7:05). The two have another disagreement with which side to take in the Ravens/Colts matchup (13:47), but find common ground in a game with a double-digit spread (20:11). The Saints are getting Michael Thomas back, but is that enough to cover +4.5 in Tampa (26:38) and despite the Patriots' struggles, should bettors take them against the lowly Jets (30:39)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 8 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 62)
Is it possible for Dan and Matt to agree on all their picks this week? NO. There is hope though as the two are back and they kick the show off with back-to-back agreements for the week (5:02 & 7:50). Weather is going to start becoming a problem with the first November games this Sunday, but will it hamper the Saints in Chicago (18:08)? Is it out of this world to take the Chiefs as 19.5 point favorites (30:45) and can the Vikings do anything in Green Bay as the underdogs or will Aaron Rodgers and Co. cover the 6.5 point spread (37:11)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 7 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 61)
After another winning week, the guys are back and will try to for a clean sweep with their five best bets in Week 7. Things start off a bit rocky with Matt's favorite bet getting shut down by Dan (5:38) and Matt returning the favor (8:35). Despite this, we do end up with five games that the two agree on including a prime time divisional matchup between the Seahawks and Cardinals (16:50). Is the spread big enough this week to actually take the Jets (25:44) and despite going on the road, the Packers are favored against the Texans, but are they the right play (28:48)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 6 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 60)
We're back for Week 6 as we give the betting lowdown on all the games. We kick things off with the defending Super Bowl champs heading into Buffalo (7:43). And while Dan and Matt agree on the first two games they discuss, the disagreements follow for the next two including the Packers heading to Tampa Bay as 2.5 point favorites (13:19). The 49ers were blown out by the Dolphins at home, will the same happen against the Cardinals (22:50)? Is there any spread that's too high for a team going against the Jets (30:17) and does the return of Cam Newton make the Patriots' -9.5 spread something worth taking (36:06)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 5 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 59)
Week 5 on first sight may not look like the prettiest week to make bets, but there are games and lines to take advantage of and we're touching on them all. The Titans have put the NFL in a rough situation and it's important to know how the books are handling bets for that game (5:08). Can the Colts put a stop to the Browns' recent turnaround (15:07) and which way will the Texans go after firing Bill O'Brien (18:06)? Is there any reason to believe Arizona doesn't cover against the Jets (24:06) and find out which way we'd lean if we had to bet on either the 49ers (35:19) or the Washington Football Team (36:35).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 4 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 58)
It's time for another round of best bets against the spread and we're kicking things off with a few wagers neither of our hosts can agree on. We eventually net out on our five, but listen in to our reasonings for and against the Raiders getting 2.5 against the Bills (4:58) and the Saints laying 3.5 against the Lions (11:23). Should the 49ers be such heavy favorites with all of their injuries (14:12) and are the Browns starting to figure things out in time to push the Cowboys in Week 4 (19:05)? Despite Russell Wilson's MVP season, could the Dolphins be the right pick at +6.5 (32:20) and will the Ravens play angry enough to cover as 12.5 point favorites (36:03)?

Week 2 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 56)
We're back to blitz through all the matchups in Week 2 to give our top 5 best bets against the spread. After nearly going 4-1 in the first week, we'll look to better that mark in a week filled with difficult plays to make. The Panthers are getting 9.5, but will the real Tom Brady show up after a porous outing (5:45)? We discuss one of the easier picks of the week (8:17) before getting into the first matchup with a 5.5 point spread which Matt stays away from, but will he be talked into it (13:37)? The Vikings ran into the Hall of Fame version of Aaron Rodgers in the first week and are now underdogs against Philip Rivers who looked quite the opposite of his prime (22:50). Listen in as we run through games we are staying away from (27:55) before recapping our top 5.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 1 NFL Best Bets (Ep. 55)
Week 1 has arrived and we're here to give our favorite plays that we'll be actually using in our DraftKings Pick'em Championship contest. Listen in as we debate which teams make our cut of our top five favorite bets against the spread. Should the Cardinals getting 6.5 points from the 49ers be on your radar (5:21) and will the Falcons show the oddsmakers they were wrong to make them a home underdog in week 1 (7:11)? Is there a reason the Bengals aren't heavier underdogs (13:29) and what is Matt's rule when it comes to 5.5 point spreads (18:34)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
