00:00A lot of excitement around here when it comes to Drake May Sunday, what's where you looking at when it comes to this game?

00:05But I just you didn't think you were gonna get that right with the soccer just now

00:09I mean you nailed it. Honestly, it's pretty good. You are not bad

00:12I should say I would say that you surprise me, but you don't your knowledge is vast every single spring

00:19And I just and I just want to say that on my driver's license. It says I'm five foot nine

00:23Who am I to disagree with the government?

00:25There yeah, there's a lot there should be a lot of optimism right now around Drake May

00:30Um, I would be optimistic if I were a Patriots fan

00:33I don't know how well this weekend's gonna go and I'm gonna give you kind of a lukewarm opinion on this game

00:37It's actually not lukewarm, but I just don't have a firm side here. Um, I think this game goes one of two ways

00:43It's possible given that Nico Collins is out for the Texans, right?

00:47And the Texans offense doesn't be great this season. Like what if Drake May's awesome on Sunday?

00:52It's it like that could be something that happens like he could be really good. Also, he could be really bad

00:57So I think anyone out there that's listening if you want to bet the Patriots on Sunday

01:01I would just bet the Patriots to win the game like forget it forget about plus seven bet them to win

01:06I think they are more live to win the game with Drake May

01:10Obviously than with Jacoby Brissett

01:11But on the flip side if you think this is gonna be disaster offensive line can't block like they set up for failure here

01:17I wouldn't lay seven with the Texans

01:19I would like like lay 13 and a half 14 and a half alternate lines

01:23I think Texans either win in a blowout or the Patriots win the game outright

01:27But uh, yeah, I'd be really pumped if I were a Patriots fan season starts this weekend

01:31So so Nick I you mentioned like if you think the Patriots have a chance like that

01:35You should just bet them to win. My thought too was I would just bet a Drake May anytime touchdown because I like you

01:42Saw it in the preseason. They want to get him the football. He's gonna be a weapon when you get inside the 10-yard line

01:47So if you think they're gonna score and they're somehow gonna come close to winning

01:50You're almost equally as better off just betting the anytime touchdown, which you're gonna get a better number on anyways, right?

01:55Um, I don't know about like maybe I mean just again like the offensive lines really bad

01:59Are they gonna design runs for him? You could be right. I just don't know how this is gonna look I'd be more interested

02:05personally in playing

02:08Jalen Polk and DeMario Douglas like that's what I'm excited about and look may is a really good athlete

02:13We did see that in the commanders preseason game where I may look better than

02:17Daniels played in that game, but I'm excited for the connection now between the rookie quarterback and the young receivers

02:22I think Douglas is really good and hasn't been unlocked yet because the quarterbacks have been bad

02:26I think Polk's definitely good would have liked to seen him get his feet down in the end zone last Sunday against Miami

02:31But that's what I'm pumped for here

02:33Maybe may scores in anytime touchdown, but let's see the may Polk and may Douglas collect connections on Sunday

02:39Nikki just brought up Jade and Daniels the battle of the DMV Baltimore minus

02:45I'm seeing one. It says minus seven. Where are you? Where are you falling in this game?

02:50Is this a game that you like?

02:52Washington or is this something that you know, Baltimore is gonna be able to win this game by more than seven points

02:58So like betting betting wise Washington's been a really interesting team because it's taken the betting market a long time

03:04To catch up to how good the commanders actually are

03:07So we've seen a couple instances recently Washington a couple weeks ago against Arizona last week against Cleveland

03:13we're like sharp bettors quote-unquote are going against Washington because of what their power ratings tell them coming into the season and

03:20And I bet Washington both games and I was on the public side and the public won both times and I won both times

03:25I'll be on the public side again here

03:27Washington's offense is just too good like for now until Cliff Kingsbury

03:31Very handsome oatmeal for brains until his offense gets figured out later in the year. He looks like Ryan Gosling

03:38But the offense is too good right now. Like if the point spreads too big

03:41I like the commanders a lot to cover the spread coming up on Sunday

03:46Costas we were talking about college football this week and Curtis gave us a lock. Just want to know your thoughts

03:51Can't wait for this ducks. No noted college football betting expert Chris Curtis. What do we got here?

03:57He's taking the Ducks plus three in the over great I'll book his action I'll take Ohio State

04:06I'm still I'm still reeling over the three nil halftime

04:10humble brag

04:12That was a humble brag. You'd set me up to talk about Manchester United. I

04:15Slay I gave you ten out of ten what you asked me for

04:18That was actually very impressive to just go straight to soccer and you didn't miss a beat. Yeah football

04:24You have a young child, how are you watching all of us? Well, it's a great question

04:29Yeah

04:31Costas you are a noted Giants fan

04:34Do you think you have any shots Sunday night hosting the Bengals not if Malik neighbors doesn't play in all seriousness

04:39Like kind of concerning neighbors was concussed 15 days ago

04:43So it was two weeks ago yesterday and that Thursday night Giants Cowboys game still hasn't cleared concussion protocol

04:49Like he could practice today that's possible. I think it's unlikely

04:53He's trending towards not playing also cave on Thibodeau one of the Giants like young stud pass rushers broken wrist

04:59He's weak to weak now. He's gonna miss this game as well

05:02I'm gonna give you like an underrated aspect of this game that I think the broadcast will talk about on Sunday night if the

05:06Big Bowses ack mouse one of Cincinnati's running backs plays on Sunday night

05:09Like I'm not saying he's someone that matters for the point spread

05:12But he's their past protecting running back and he's gonna make a huge difference

05:16Protecting Joe Burrow in this game against the Giants pass rush. I think he's gonna play and I think Burrows gonna nuke this Giants defense

05:22I hate to say it. I'd only bet the Bengals on Sunday night

05:25Well, clearly Nick you weren't looking at page six because Malik neighbors was partying hard at the I believe was Travis Scott concert

05:33So looks like yeah, it looks like he'll be able to get through the concussion protocol. Well, I don't think you get your well

05:39I shouldn't say what I was gonna say. I'm not gonna say anything

05:41My concern with Malik neighbors is more his taste in music is terrible then

05:47Going to a concert. I'd rather him go with shine to see the gin blossoms at an ocean city

05:52I'm blossoms were a great time man. You should have been there

05:55So Costas, I got another one for you here. I Courtney has been keeping track of my pics

06:00They haven't been great. But I we hit last night on Gino Smith. Shout out to Gino Smith my pick for the week

06:06Me we is me

06:09Those who bet based on how shine the royal

06:13Is such a massive person a personality. He's now plural. Yep, exactly

06:18And so so my thought over the weekend is is I'm gonna go with the AJ Brown over receiving prop here

06:25I love AJ Brown to have a bounce-back week coming off the injury coming off the bye week

06:30And he's going up against Cleveland who is giving up a ton of yards to number one receivers and number one quarterbacks

06:37Your thoughts, please what's it do you have the number I believe it last look it was 69 and a half nice. Yes

06:44No, yeah

06:45Definitely over. Yeah, I think that's our that's a really really really strong. Look. Yeah

06:5070 and a half. Yeah, like I'm honestly like I we this will be way I'm with you on this one

06:55So we use you and me at the very least here. I think that's a

06:58I'm gonna take that this weekend and I'm gonna bet it and I will give it out as my own on Sunday

07:03We hit on Packers minus three last weekend. Shout out to the Packers

07:07So you and I at it again the cost those shine lock of the week AJ Brown 70 plus receiving yards

07:12I mean look, it's if it if it loses it loses. It's an easy bet to make you should go way over

07:18You guys know you guys are the Sharps you never lose. Well, we're 1-0 when we're aligned

07:22So I had I had the under in the game last night and there were 900 points scored

07:26So that that didn't go great for me have been slaying the baseball playoffs

07:33Every single time a gambler admits they miss a bet they immediately follow it up with ten bets

07:37You've never heard of that. They nailed. Well, you did give them out on this program last week

07:44You have to be a huge subway series guys, no, I'm not I am you know why they call it the subways

07:51So this is this a true story just like and this will be more of like a fan thing here

07:55But my dad actually died like ten like almost ten years ago to the day today

08:00It's okay, but I just think about the way it's all good in

08:032000s my dad was a huge Yankees fan

08:06We all root for the same teams my dad during the subway series Yankees Mets

08:10actually couldn't sit to watch the games because he was so nervous at the thought of losing to the Mets because

08:15Like locally like we wouldn't we are big brother as Yankee fans. We would never hear the we're expected to win

08:21We'd never hear at the end of it

08:23He would literally leave the house to walk around the block because he couldn't sit because he was so nervous

08:28Like like the stakes the stakes for Yankees Mets for Yankees fans are incredibly high

08:33because if the Yankees win we're expected to win and if we lose we will actually

08:36Never hear the end of it for Mets fans and the sad thing is and honestly like I've got the answers to the test for

08:42You guys right now when it comes to betting the baseball playoff. So you're ready for it

08:45Yeah, I'm gonna tell people how to make money. I'm a Yankee fan telling you this

08:48Okay, if the Yankees make the World Series, I think they're going to they should beat the Guardians of the Tigers

08:53They will not win the World Series

08:55They do not have the pitching to do it and the hitters for the most part are choke artists

08:59So whoever wins the National League

09:01Dodgers Padres Mets you bet that team in the World Series against the Yankees, and I think you're going to win

09:06I'm also that's a lock and I don't know

09:09I think I feel really strongly about it and walk it off if you want to make money

09:13Tonight the Dodgers are playing the Padres game five of the NLDS

09:17You should be rooting for tonight the dot and I bet the Padres in the series

09:21You should be rooting for the Dodgers tonight because if it's Mets Dodgers in the NLCS

09:26The Mets are going to win that series and you will get them at plus money

09:30So Mets over Dodgers whoever wins the National League over the Yankees in the World Series

09:35It pains me to say that but that's how I feel like we make money at betting the baseball playoffs

09:39Nick another week and more gold from you. You are the best

09:43It's my guy Dermot still there. I know

09:46How freaking cool was that

09:50That song slaps, yeah, it does. I hate that word. Sorry. That's on rips

09:59All right, Nick, what would you wish us if you're allowed to wish us only one thing

10:04Minute black and I wish you a couple things minimal sweats when he bets in the absolute very best of luck
