00:00Hello, Nick Costos.

00:02What's going on? The way to solve the whole Valentine's Day

00:05thing and gifts and having to one up it is to have a kid.

00:09That does the job. It's right. Yeah, you have to do anything

00:12anymore. It's all about you. You have a kid and then and then

00:15that ends it and then and then you're good to go.

00:18You must be you in New Orleans. Hence why we're not seeing you

00:21on our Twitch feed or on our YouTube. Correct. Correct. How's

00:25the week been down there?

00:27It's awesome. Like I love these shows are so different than the

00:31shows we do like the rest of the year. Basically, like all

00:34interviews the entire time. Our new producer on the show is an

00:37absolute stud Bill Zimmerman who produced for Bad Dog Russo

00:40when I worked at Sirius XM with him for a long time. The guests

00:43have been crazy. The shows have been great. New Orleans is an

00:46incredible host city. Food's awesome. People are awesome.

00:50Like I just I love the way the city looks cool. I've had an

00:54awesome week. I can't wait to go home but but great week of

00:56shows a little bit of a maybe the Noro or some other viral bug

01:02thing going around the Eagles locker room. Is that something

01:07we should be concerned about when it comes to wagering?

01:10I would say you should be concerned if the betting market

01:13starts moving like towards Kansas City, which goes like

01:15betters will know and just as an example, I'm guessing people are

01:19really not in the weeds on this stuff, which is totally fine.

01:22Like everyone thought Lamar Jackson was going to win MVP

01:24yesterday, right? Because he won. He was first team all pro

01:26quarterback. And yesterday, there's this like a there's a

01:29second exchange called Kali market. And it's the only place

01:32that you could bet this because everything gets taken down once

01:35the season ends, basically, right? Because everything

01:37locks. And Josh Allen got bet into oblivion, because people

01:42knew like better betters will know basically before anybody

01:45else. So if you see Kansas City, all of a sudden, like a two and

01:48a half three point, it wouldn't go to three, but two and a half

01:50point favorite, then I would say there's cause for concern.

01:52Otherwise, not at all.

01:55That was interesting. What about the I feel good about Jalen

01:59Hurts. Anytime touchdown.

02:03Yeah, I mean, tough not to scores all the time scored on

02:06what three times when they played two years ago in the

02:08Super Bowl and Super Bowl 57. Yeah, I guess like you need you

02:12need a particular like state of like state of events to unfold,

02:15like to get Jalen Hurts into the end zone, right? Because if the

02:18Eagles are going to score from far out, it's going to be say

02:20Kwan, it's going to be AJ Brown, it's going to be Devante Smith,

02:23you basically if you make that bet, and he can definitely

02:26score, you're looking for like first and goal from like the one

02:29or the two, where you know that you're going to get the

02:31tushkosh a couple times and he's very likely to score. Yeah, if I

02:34had to bet, I would bet that he will score a touchdown. Also,

02:37it feels like a pretty good bet.

02:38Nick, as a as a sharp, how do you bet the Super Bowl?

02:43I don't know. I don't know if I would call myself a sharp, but

02:45I appreciate that very much. Um, yeah, I'm gonna give you like

02:49very surface level. So as someone who's really smart, how

02:52do you do this? Well, here's a stupid answer. Um, I get Patrick

02:56Mahomes. The other team doesn't have him. I win. Great. So

02:59that's how I bet the Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes is in it. I

03:02bet on the Chiefs, especially in a small spread game. I really I

03:06really think it's as easy as that. And Greg, we've had tons

03:10of guests come on the show this week. And they all say the same

03:13thing. The Eagles are better than the Chiefs. They are like

03:16the roster one through 53 is better than Kansas City. But the

03:19Chiefs have Mahomes that you could also say, you know, they

03:21have Andy Reid and they have to expect Oh, well, that's true

03:24also. But but they have they have the best quarterback. And

03:27he's he's like Brady. And I'm not saying he's better than

03:30Brady, not yet, at least. But like, he's like the new Brady.

03:33And I want I want my money on him at the end of the game when

03:36the game is close. If the Eagles are going to win Greg, I guess

03:40he would be like by sharp betting advice. And we'll see

03:42how it plays out. I can be wrong. I it's kind of similar

03:46to the to the NFC Championship game a little bit. I think if

03:49you like the Eagles, I think you should bet alternates. Meaning

03:53like lay nine and a half with the Eagles, like bet the Eagles

03:57to win by a lot. I think that's how they win. Because if the

04:01game is close at the end, like Mahomes is gonna win. So close

04:05game Chiefs win. If the Eagles win, I think it looks like when

04:09Brady and the Bucs beat them in Super Bowl 55. Like I don't know

04:12if it would be your 3110 or whatever that game was. But I

04:15think that's how the Eagles win the game. So I guess if you like

04:17Philly, lay alternates. And if you like Kansas City, just bet

04:21the game line.

04:22Costas, I know Wiggy mentioned the Jalen Hurts anytime

04:26touchdown. I know you have tweeted out in the past and

04:29done it before. You're a fan of taking a long shot on a guy to

04:31score a touchdown. Is there a guy that is a relative unknown

04:35to most people that you're interested in taking a you know,

04:38a small money shot at the score touchdown in the Super Bowl?

04:41Yeah, look like this, this market chime got totally nerfed

04:44a couple years ago. Yeah. Um, so like, you used to be able to

04:47bet like the Andre Hopkins is the chief fourth receiver,

04:50right? You used to be able to bet him at a really good price

04:52now. Like I don't have it in front of me. It's like plus

04:54like, like 300. Yeah, it's five to one right now. Oh, yeah,

04:57that honestly, like that, that's, that's probably the best

05:00the best one, like in that range would be the Andre Hopkins at

05:03five to one. So I do like that. But you're looking for something

05:07further down the board, right? We're looking for someone better

05:10than that. So how about this one? And I love I love the way

05:13man. I love the way Jim Nance says this guy's name. I sound

05:18like Jon Gruden. Let me tell you about Jim. Nico Remy he Oh,

05:23yes. You guys know who that is? The kick returner. That's right.

05:27The chief electric kick and punt returner. Now yesterday, in the

05:31you better you bet power hour on NBC Sports Now, which everyone

05:35can watch on peacock. We had Dante Hall on remember Dante

05:38Hall throwing up the best kick returners to that if all is

05:40she's awesome, right? We were I was talking to Dante about Nico

05:43Remy he Oh, and he's gushing over Nick. Nico Remy he Oh,

05:48loves him. I love him too. Every time he gets the ball in his

05:51hands. He looks like he's going to score now. In each of the

05:54first two playoff games the Chiefs have played. There has

05:57been at least one return where he's really close to breaking

06:01one really close. And Dante said the same thing. He's so close to

06:06breaking through. So look, he's like 30 time you have it in

06:10front of you 30 to 133 to 133 to one. So yeah, like he's 33 to

06:16one for a reason like he needs to return a kick like to cash

06:19this bet. I have placed that bet. I have also bet him to

06:23score the first touchdown of the game. Allah Devin Hester and

06:26Super Bowl 41. That's like 125 to one. And because I'm a sicko.

06:32I have parlayed all both of those things with the Chiefs to

06:34win the game and Duke to win the national championship in

06:37college basketball.

06:39Nick, when it comes to Kendrick performing at halftime, not like

06:43us, where are you putting money if you're putting money money on

06:45it? He's gonna do it and it's gonna be the second to last

06:49song, I believe. Oh, wow. Okay. And then Gatorade. Um, yeah,

06:56like that that market got like bet into oblivion. So like, I,

06:59I think I know what it is. But like, I, I don't feel

07:02comfortable saying it at this point, because it can change.

07:05Yeah, like, I would say people go check it out. There's a huge

07:08favorite in the market now. That information got out. But it can

07:13change. So I would say be very careful with that. Is it the

07:16orange? It is not orange. Well, what's the favorite that you see

07:20right now in the marsh? I'm should have that. Like that MGM

07:23has that blue glass.

07:25Yeah, it's probably the blue is probably the favorite. But yeah,

07:28so just like just like be careful with that one. It could

07:31be traditional style, though, throw everybody for a loop.

07:34What about the coin toss? That's a big one for shine.

07:37Yeah, it's a tail. So it's a scientific fact.

07:41Unless it does, which it has recently like a good amount.

07:44Yeah, like I always, I bet tails every single year. It's a

07:48really just to be clear. It is a really, really, really stupid

07:52mathematical bet. It's a horrible bet. Because you are

07:55paying a big on something that's literally 5050 is a 5050

07:58proposition. And, yeah, it's just really fun, man. Like

08:03before the game starts, when what can I say the hard B word

08:07on the show or no, say whatever you want. Baseball or the rise

08:11of which Can I say that? Yes. I gotta tell you when that when

08:14that coin when that son of a bitch is in the air, man. What

08:17a what like, I'll do my best from Legion of Doom

08:20impersonation, man. Oh, what a rush.

08:29I don't want to get in trouble or anything with the missus. But
