0:00I'm Warren Sharp of Sharp Football
0:02Analysis and I'm pretty sure that this
0:03has become your favorite new sports
0:06betting podcast and that's because we
0:08continue to deliver successful bets and
0:12successful information and hopefully you
0:15guys love both of those aspects of this
0:17show. Today we're going to preview week
0:19two of the NFL season, week three of the
0:22college football season with a team of
0:24experts that I have assembled that are
0:26going to deliver best bets to you all
0:29show long. We're going to hit LSU versus
0:32Old Miss, the Bengals versus the Texans,
0:35the Jaguars at the Broncos, the Saints
0:37at the Ravens, the Browns at the Bucks,
0:40and the Monday Night Football game
0:42between the Giants and the Rams. And of
0:45course, what a lot of you guys come here
0:47for, the best bet of the week. I'm 37
0:50and 13 lifetime. That's 74% on podcast
0:54best bets after going 1 and0 last week
0:57and 14 and four the year before. And
1:00I'll be sharing another best bet during
1:02the show. So sit back, grab your
1:04notepad, and let's start breaking down
1:06these games.
1:10Before we get into all of our best bets,
1:13I'm going to hit on a number of things
1:14that I noticed from last weekend's games
1:17that you need to be aware of heading
1:18into this weekend's games and how it's
1:20going to relate. And the first one we're
1:22going to talk about is Houston's
1:24revamped offense potentially lowering
1:26opponent play volume. Now, we have a big
1:30concern, of course, in this game whether
1:32or not Nico Collins will be active. So,
1:34make sure that you're paying attention
1:35to that because it's definitely going to
1:37impact the outcome of this game. But we
1:41know that Nico Collins will make a
1:44massive impact whether he's here or not.
1:46The key question will be the sheer
1:49number of plays that we're going to get
1:52out of the Houston Texans offense if
1:53Nico Collins is here. The number of
1:56plays the Bills defense was on the field
1:58for in week one was nearly identical to
2:01the number of plays that the Detroit
2:03Lions defense was on the field for. And
2:05they played an overtime game last week.
2:08And I just want to say before we get
2:11deeper into the show, if you're betting
2:13the NFL this season, you need to hit
2:15that subscribe button right now. Not
2:16only do we give you picks, we also give
2:19you the information behind the best bets
2:22that we like. And I think that's going
2:24to help you breaking down the matchups,
2:26the trends, the officiating crews, all
2:28of the data. And if that's the analysis
2:29you want to get, make sure that you're
2:31subscribed. But as you keep going
2:33through here, um the Bills were scoring
2:35on explosive plays. Yes. So that meant
2:38that the Houston Texans were going to
2:40have more opportunities to possess the
2:42football. But let's look at their
2:44intent, which is the key thing here as
2:46it translates to their game against the
2:48Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. In the
2:51first half versus the Bills last week,
2:53the Texans passed the ball only 51% of
2:56snaps. That was number four lowest of
2:59any team last week. In the first half,
3:02they took 34 seconds for the play clock
3:05between snaps. That was the number five
3:08longest time to snap. The only other
3:11team in the NFL last week that went
3:14slower with a similar rate of running
3:16the football was the New York Jets. That
3:19was it. Houston also gained a new set of
3:22downs or scored a touchdown 78% of its
3:26series, up from 68% in 2025. It ran 73
3:32plays last game, which was second most
3:34in the NFL. And they've scored 30 plus
3:37points in four of their last seven
3:38games. So, this is something that the
3:41Houston Texans offense is morphing into
3:43a little bit more running, but the
3:44ability to keep you out on the field and
3:46wear you down. and we'll see if Nico's
3:49up and if that has an impact on the game
3:52this weekend between the Cincinnati
3:54Bengals and the Houston Texans. But
3:56definitely something to pay attention to
3:58in the future for the way that the
3:59Houston Texans are going to play offense
4:01this year. All right, next up I want to
4:03talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
4:05defense. Tampa's off of a loss and
4:07they're going up against the Cleveland
4:08Browns who are also off of a loss. Now
4:10look, I know that Deshun Watson was
4:13terrible. He is terrible. He's probably
4:15going to be terrible in this game, but
4:17the key in this game is he's going to be
4:19blitzed a lot and that's going to just
4:21reveal the warts even more when that
4:24happens. Todd BS dials up pressure at
4:26one of the highest rates in the NFL and
4:28I think he's going to have success
4:30getting after Deshun Watson because
4:32Deshun Watson holds the ball a ton.
4:34Let's break down some of these numbers
4:35here. Watson averaged 3.2 seconds to
4:39throw, which was fifth longest of any
4:42quarterback in the NFL last week. This
4:44is not a bug. This is a feature of
4:47Deshun Watson's game. He never had a
4:50quick time to throw. Even in his first
4:53years, rookie year, second year down in
4:55Houston. He holds on to the football and
4:59creates bigger plays, moves about the
5:00pocket, tries to go for some long longer
5:03plays down the field or ultimately then
5:05scrambles with the football. The thing
5:07though is he's not the same as he once
5:09was when he was younger and could move
5:11faster within the pocket, looked deeper
5:14down the field, and didn't care as much
5:17as it seems like he does now. He's not
5:20caring at all. He's keep bearing his
5:22head. He wants to avoid being sacked,
5:24but he's taking these hits in the
5:26pocket. He's fumbling the football, and
5:28I think it's going to be a disaster. He
5:30had a league high 19% sack rate last
5:34week's game against the Jacksonville
5:35Jaguars. That was the fourth straight
5:38start for Deshun Watson with a
5:40double-digit sack rate. Tampa Blitz last
5:44week at the second highest rate of any
5:46defense in the NFL 46% of the time. I
5:51think they're going to have a lot more
5:52success getting pressure in this game.
5:55If you're thinking about, oh, Tampa
5:56blitzed a lot, but it really didn't work
5:58last week against Joe Burrow, so maybe
6:00it's not going to work here. Maybe
6:01they'll dial it back. I encourage you to
6:04think again because they went up against
6:06Joe Burrow, who got the ball out in 2.43
6:09seconds time to throw, which was the
6:11fourth fastest. And as I mentioned,
6:15we know that the pass time to throw from
6:18Deshun Watson is a feature, not a bug.
6:22He holds on to the ball a long time. Uh
6:25in Cleveland, every single year that
6:26he's been there, he's averaging between
6:282.85 seconds and 3.3 seconds time to
6:32throw. Here's the last kicker on this
6:34game for me. The last three years,
6:37obviously, he didn't play one of them,
6:39but he's played three years in Cleveland
6:41here. The last three years, he has only
6:44played one game versus a defense that
6:46blitzed him over 32% of dropbacks. In
6:49that game, he completed just 57% of
6:52passes for 5.3 yards per attempt while
6:55taking eight sacks, recording one
6:57fumble. And that was the New York Giants
6:59defense in 2024. We're not talking about
7:01some sort of juggernaut like to 20,000
7:04Ravens or the 85 Bears. Like, we're
7:06talking about the 2024 New York Giants.
7:09They're the only team that blitz them a
7:10lot and they've recorded eight sacks.
7:12That was a 32% blitz rate. We're now
7:15talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
7:17that blitz last week at a 46% blitz
7:20rate. Last week against the Jacksonville
7:21Jaguars, Deshawn Watson was hit nine
7:24times, took five sacks. His quarterback
7:27EPA falls off drastically when he is
7:30under pressure. And also, he's terrible
7:34against main coverage. Five dropbacks
7:36versus man coverage. Last week he
7:38averaged negative -1.1
7:40EPA per drop back. Took three sacks and
7:43had only one completion on five total
7:46dropbacks. It's hard to average over a
7:49point lost on every single dropback
7:51because dropbacks are what's supposed to
7:53earn points more than rushes. And he's
7:55losing points just dropping back against
7:58man coverage. This is what Todd BS likes
8:00to do and blitz and apply pressure. I
8:03think it, you know, Deshun Watson is
8:05going to absolutely struggle in this
8:07game and, you know, this is going to be
8:09a fun game for Ruben Bane to record his
8:12first NFL sack potentially. It's going
8:14to be a fun game for Tampa Bay
8:16Buccaneers to get back on track
8:17offensively because they're going to
8:19have opportunities because I don't think
8:21the Cleveland Browns are going to be
8:22able to sustain drives with the way that
8:25Deshun Watson is going to play football
8:27against the man coverage and against the
8:28blitzes that Todd Bulls is going to
8:30throw at him. Last quick topic here to
8:33get into before we start breaking down
8:34the games is what is going on in
8:37Philadelphia. This Eagles offense
8:39failure to take flight. We saw it last
8:42week even though they won their game.
8:45The Eagles averaged 1.6
8:48yards per play on first down. That was a
8:52league low. That was the worst rate in
8:54the NFL. As a result of being so
8:56inefficient on first downs, they faced
8:59third downs 70% of their sets of downs,
9:04which was the worst in the NFL. For
9:07comparison, they're at 70%. The league
9:11average was 44%.
9:14We're not even talking about the best
9:15teams. We're talking about the league
9:16average 44%. You're way down here at 70%
9:20of the time. That means like seven out
9:23of ten times that you have a first down,
9:25you're going to end up in third down.
9:27That's horrible. And that was against
9:29the Washington Commanders defense. I
9:31know they're improved, but there's no
9:33excuse for that for the Philadelphia
9:36Eagles. Now they're going to be down
9:38Landon Dickerson, one of their key
9:39offensive linemen they're going to have
9:41to replace. I know he was struggling in
9:43the game last week, so you know, he
9:45wasn't at 100% anyways, but that's going
9:48to be something that they're going to
9:49have to overcome.
9:51We also thought with Shawn Manu calling
9:53plays, we were going to get Jaylen Herz
9:55under center and doing a lot of
9:56different things. Jaylen Herz was only
9:59under center for 34% of his draw of his
10:02snaps in total. But most of the time
10:04that they were going under center, it
10:06was just to run the football. He had
10:09only uh five under center dropbacks the
10:13entire game. They used play action just
10:158% of the time. That was the lowest rate
10:18of any team in the NFL. And it's not as
10:21if they were losing this game and so
10:24they had to abandon that and go to some
10:26sort of quick shotgun game. They were
10:27leading this game and sometimes by
10:29larger margins and yet they're still not
10:31going under center. They're still not
10:33calling play action. It's kind of
10:36disappointing at this point for us not
10:39to see a little bit more creativity,
10:41especially just with what happened to
10:43that offense last year and the reason
10:45why they had to get rid of their prior
10:47offensive coordinator because it was
10:48just so terrible. We thought we were
10:50going to get a lot more innovation
10:51potentially here. We did not see that in
10:54week one and it caused them to struggle
10:56and it caused them to punt the football
10:58back too often to the commanders without
11:00scoring points. They were scoring points
11:02on explosives. without those explosives,
11:04they were struggling with the
11:06consistency offensively and it gave the
11:08Commanders opportunities. You know, if
11:10Stefon Diggs doesn't jump on the goal
11:12post and hug it, uh then we're kicking
11:15an extra point. This game is probably
11:17tied going to overtime potentially.
11:19Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles are
11:21lucky to win this game by two points
11:24thanks to their defense playing
11:26outstanding football. And that's what's
11:28going to have to happen when this team
11:29goes on the road in Tennessee. This
11:32defense has to play lights out because
11:34I'm still worried a little bit about
11:36what this offense is going to bring to
11:38the table. All right, now let's welcome
11:39in our college football betting expert,
11:41Ryan Mcrist. We're going to talk about
11:44the LSU versus Old Miss game with Ryan.
11:46Ryan's got a take and a betting
11:48prediction on the outcome of this game.
11:50And I can't wait to watch this game. We
11:52got Lane Keifin going back to Old Miss.
11:55The former coach returns. He's been
11:57playing that villain role. Let's see if
11:59he can spoil things for Old Miss on
12:02their home turf on Saturday night. Let's
12:05kick it to Ryan.
12:06>> All right, week two's game of the week,
12:08LSU at Old Miss. I was all set to take
12:11LSU in this matchup and then on
12:12Wednesday, we found out that quarterback
12:14Sam Levit is listed as doubtful, which
12:16really threw a wrench into things. If he
12:17doesn't play, that's a huge advantage
12:20for Miss. If LSU has to throw an
12:22inexperienced quarterback out there into
12:24an extremely hostile environment with
12:26Lane Kein's return to Miss in that
12:29environment for a first-time starter,
12:31that's a bad situation, especially with
12:32a very experienced quarterback, Heisman
12:35contender, Trinidad Chamblas on the
12:37other side. If it comes if it if we
12:39eventually find out that Levit's not
12:41going to play, that would certainly seem
12:42to give an edge to miss. However,
12:46I'm not assuming that Levit isn't going
12:47to play yet. This is Lane Kein after
12:50all. And no coach currently in college
12:53football, maybe in the history of
12:54college football, has ever more brazenly
12:58abused the rule book. If he thinks there
13:00is the tiniest little gray area where he
13:02can wedge in there and gain an
13:04advantage, he will do it. And it's
13:06pretty easy to apply that logic to this
13:08situation. Listing Sam Leva as doubtful
13:11does not mean he won't play. It means
13:14that he has a 25% chance of playing.
13:17Now, if Gifin went through the whole
13:18season and just kept listing starters as
13:20doubtful, if Levit were doubtful every
13:21week and he kept playing, I'm sure Miss
13:23would get in trouble. But if he picks a
13:26spot in a big game against Miss where he
13:28decides to list a starting quarterback
13:30is doubtful just to play mind games with
13:32the other side and it turns out Levit
13:34plays, it's going to be pretty hard to
13:37prove that Levit wasn't hurt, wasn't
13:39dealing with some sort of injury,
13:40especially since he was coming off a
13:42season ending injury a year ago and is
13:44probably still recovering from that to
13:46some degree. It would be really hard to
13:49prove that he's not, right? if this is
13:51just a one-off thing or something that
13:52he does once or twice. It seems like an
13:55obvious evolution of Lane Kein always
13:57trying to gain an edge, especially in
13:59this matchup. Because the other reason
14:01why I think that Lane Keifin is probably
14:03playing with the rules loosely here is
14:05that earlier this week, Miss served
14:08Princeuel Oman, LSU's best pass rusher
14:11in a transfer from Miss with court
14:13papers because they're trying to get
14:15some money back from some of the guys
14:17who transferred from Miss and followed
14:19Lane Kein to LSU. Why would they serve
14:22him court papers this week? Seems pretty
14:24obvious, right? They're trying to get
14:25inside of his head and play mind games
14:27with him. and the culture of Lane Kein
14:30trying to bend the rules. He absolutely
14:31left that behind at Old Miss. Pete
14:33Golding has been doing all the same
14:34thing. Tampering with players before
14:36they're in the portal, tampering with
14:38players after they've already
14:39transferred to another program. Golding
14:42is up to the same tricks that we would
14:43expect from Kein. I think this was Kein
14:46punching back. It's just a theory. We'll
14:49find out on Saturday if he actually
14:50plays. I think the fact that the line
14:52has barely shifted. It shifted. LSU was
14:55favored by a field goal, you know, about
14:5724 hours. Since we've we've heard of
14:59that, it had shifted to, you know, just
15:01two minus two and a half. It seems like
15:04most people are at least thinking along
15:06the same lines as me that this it's
15:08tough to trust Lane Kein. Any other
15:10coach in the country says their
15:11quarterback is doubtful. It means his
15:12quarterback is hurt. But with Kein, I
15:14don't know that we can really say that.
15:16Now, I wanted to address something else
15:18about the princel Mellan issue because
15:21that was actually initially one of the
15:23reasons why I started to like LSU more
15:25was after Miss serves him with those
15:27papers because LSU's roster is filled
15:29with transfers. Now, on Miss's side,
15:32this is a huge game from them. A lot of
15:33those players are holdovers. Kein left
15:36them before the playoffs. They're bitter
15:38about it. We obviously know how the fans
15:40feel about it. So, it will be in a tough
15:41environment at Miss. But do LSU players,
15:45all these transfers really care about
15:47this LSU Miss game? They're not here for
15:49Kein. They don't really have Kein's
15:51back. They're here for the paycheck. And
15:53Kein Kein happens to be the head coach
15:55who's helping get them paid. But most of
15:58them, especially guys on the defensive
15:59side of the ball, have probably talked
16:00to Kein once or twice maybe other than
16:02when he's, you know, up in front of the
16:03whole team talking. They don't know
16:05Kein. They're not they're not amped up
16:07for this game to like help Kein get back
16:10at all miss for whatever reason Kein
16:13might have to want to get back at them.
16:14It's unclear exactly. He's the one that
16:16left them. So I I don't really see LSU
16:19getting up for this game. So initially
16:21in the offseason when I looked at this
16:22game I thought you know what this looks
16:23like even though I think LSU is the
16:25better team I thought Miss I would
16:27probably pick Miss when this game rolled
16:28around. This was one of the reasons that
16:31started tipping me towards LSU because
16:33those players don't know Kein, but they
16:35know Prince William Ellen, one of their
16:37best defensive players. So, some of
16:39those transfers on the defensive side of
16:41the ball that might not really see this
16:43as a rivalry or a big game other than
16:45just another good SEC game. They do care
16:48about their teammate and he's going to
16:50be pissed off about getting served those
16:51court papers this week. They're going to
16:53be extra fired up for this game. Well,
16:54Miss basically gave LSU's players a
16:57reason to treat this as a bigger than
16:59usual game the same way a lot of Miss's
17:01players were already viewing it. So, I
17:03think it almost like leveled the playing
17:05field from a motivation standpoint,
17:07which in college football sometimes
17:09matters a lot. A lot of big upsets
17:11happen when it feels like the Super Bowl
17:13for one team and for the other side is
17:15just sort of another game. I thought
17:17that that might be where we were at with
17:19this game, but I think that this back
17:20and forth has sort of leveled the
17:22playing field where both sides are
17:24coming into this game feeling like it's
17:25a huge matchup. Now, let's get into some
17:28of the ex's nos's a little bit and more
17:29than just the drama off the field.
17:31There's two big reasons why looking at
17:33the matchup and what we've seen early
17:35this season, I like LSU. The first is
17:37Miss's defense. I've got big questions.
17:40Like we said, they lost a few transfers
17:41who followed Kein, most notably Oman.
17:44their best pass rusher is now on the
17:45other side of the field. Miss in that
17:48first game of the year, they struggled a
17:49little bit against Louisville. Gave up
17:516.9 yards per play. I wasn't too
17:53concerned initially because it looks
17:55like Louisville found a good quarterback
17:56and Lincoln Keen Holtz, you know, he's
17:58he was a playmaker for them. It seems
18:00like Louisville has a good offense. But
18:02then last week against Charlotte who
18:04went 1 and 11 last year and opened the
18:06season losing to the Citadel, an FCS
18:09program, they allowed 5.3 yards per
18:12play. Now, the final score wasn't close.
18:14Miss was never in trouble in that game,
18:17but Miss's defense did not step up and
18:20dominate the way you would expect them
18:22to dominate one of the worst FBS
18:23programs. And that's a major red flag,
18:26especially when you factor in how they
18:27looked against Louisville. So, I have
18:29some serious questions. And we also,
18:31especially if Levit plays, we know what
18:33LSU's offense is capable of. Keifin is
18:35going to be able to exploit the
18:36weaknesses in that defense. At the very
18:39least, it's going to be a high-scoring
18:40game because I don't see any reason why
18:42Miss's defense the way they've looked
18:44can slow down what we've seen from LSU.
18:47Now, the other issue is when LSU is on
18:49offense. Obviously, they're going to
18:50make plays. Trinidad Chamblas, he's a
18:52legitimate Heisman contender. He's going
18:53to put up some points, but I worry about
18:55the offensive line, especially in the
18:57run game against LSU's defense. Miss was
19:00breaking in two new starters at both
19:01tackle positions. And then in the season
19:03opener, they lost their right tackle. So
19:05now they've got an inexperienced right
19:07tackle out there as well. You know,
19:09there's a chance their their initial
19:11starter is going to be back for this
19:12game, but you know, he's on the injury
19:14report. If he does play, he's going to
19:15be less than 100%. It's a bad situation
19:17going up against a good LSU defense
19:20here. You know, this was one of the area
19:22the run game specifically was one of the
19:23areas where LSU was actually already
19:25pretty good last season, even though
19:27they had some issues on defense based on
19:29opponent adjusted numbers. LSU ranked
19:32fifth in the nation in yards allowed
19:34before contact. So, they were already
19:35excelling at getting to the line of
19:37scrimmage, getting into the back field,
19:39and we've seen them just pick up right
19:41where they left off. They've been
19:42absolutely dominant through two games
19:43this year. They're allowing 0.2 yards
19:46before contact per attempt to running
19:49backs and they're contacting opposing
19:51running backs behind the line of
19:52scrimmage 66% of the time. Now, they had
19:55an easy game last week, but you know,
19:57they did play Clemson in week one.
19:59Clemson is not a good, you know, a good
20:01power five team, but they are they are a
20:03power conference opponent who can run
20:04the ball a little bit. I I think this
20:07LSU defense is going to be really nasty,
20:09especially against the run with LSU
20:10having some inexperience and some
20:12injuries on the offensive line. I think
20:13that's a bad situation. I think it's
20:15really going to put the whole offense on
20:17Chambless's back and I just don't know
20:19if he's got the weapons surrounding him
20:21in the way that LSU does. So, if Sam Lev
20:24plays, I think LSU can dominate this
20:26game. If you want to wait to see if he
20:29actually plays before betting it, that's
20:30absolutely reasonable. But if you're
20:33thinking along the same lines as me, I
20:35think maybe Kein actually gave us a
20:36little bit of an edge here, lowering
20:37this line to below a field goal. So, I
20:39will lay the points and take LSU in this
20:41matchup. All right, I tell you what,
20:43it'll be interesting to see if it plays
20:45out the way that Ryan thinks, but no
20:46doubt about it, he's got some great data
20:48to support his position. Let's take a
20:50quick break. We are taking a quick break
20:53because our week 2 special is still
20:55running and I don't want you to miss out

22:11Sunday. All right, now it's time for one
22:13of my favorite segments of the show.
22:16It's when I'm joined by Rich Reebar, our
22:19fantasy football expert over at Sharp
22:20Football Analysis and member of the
22:22Sharp Prop Squad. He loves Ben and Props
22:25as much as we all do and as much as you
22:27guys do at home as well. He's got three
22:30of his favorite props for you this week.
22:33Two different games. We're gonna first
22:35start talking about the game between the
22:37New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore
22:39Ravens where he has one prop there and
22:41that prop is going to be on Lamar
22:44Jackson and his passing yards. Rich, I
22:46know this is probably related to the
22:49fact that Baltimore's got some injuries.
22:51Their point spread favors this as well.
22:53Uh right now you can find Lamar Jackson
22:56under 221 and a half yards over here at
23:00DraftKings. So that's the line we'll go
23:02with for the show. Talk to us about why
23:05you like this one.
23:06>> This one has a multiple pulling pulling
23:08factors. Obviously, you know, with if Z
23:11Flowers doesn't play and Jacobe Lane
23:12already being out, that's that's two
23:14wide receivers. The Ravens are being
23:15down, but it also has to go into
23:18incorporating the game climate and the
23:21opponent. Uh just four players have hit
23:24this number against the Saints since
23:26they hired Brandon Staley. Jared Goff
23:28needed 39 passes in overtime last week.
23:30to throw for 206 yards. Uh we're not
23:33going to get 39 pass attempts with the
23:35Ravens as uh you know home seven point
23:37home favorites without you know
23:39potentially two wide receivers. So in
23:42general this is a good line I think
23:43anyways without even factoring any of
23:45those things. Um and then when you
23:48factor in them being seven-point
23:49favorites and where the Saints, you
23:51know, struggled uh last week really was
23:54defending the run and outside zone runs.
23:56We really went into that heavy on the
23:58matchup show with Derrick Henry. So,
24:00check that out. I think this just sets
24:01up to be a Derrick Henry game. So, and
24:04then last week the
24:06uh Indianapolis Colts played man
24:08coverage at the highest rate of the NFL.
24:10Lamar Jackson had 18 yards per pass
24:12attempt. 18 yards per pass attempt
24:14against cover one, which the Colts
24:16played uh 39% of the time to open the
24:18year. Brandon S played man coverage 1.4%
24:21of snaps uh in week one. Uh that was the
24:24case last year, too. their bottom five
24:26team. He plays very passive. Uh makes
24:28you throw underneath the it's predicated
24:30on coming up coming up and tackling. So
24:34all those factors in here have me
24:36leading to Lamar Jackson and under.
24:39>> I love that stat. It's almost hard to
24:41believe. I know that they played the
24:43terrible quarterbacks in the NFC South,
24:45but for Staley to allow this number only
24:47four times since he's been there, which
24:50obviously is what, like 18 games, uh
24:53that's that's pretty remarkable. So,
24:55we'll see how this one goes. Your next
24:56game is the huge matchup between the
25:00Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville
25:02Jaguars. You've got two of your favorite
25:03props from this game specifically. So,
25:06let's start with another passing yards
25:07prop. We're going to look at Bo Knicks
25:10passing yards for the uh Denver Broncos.
25:13Right now, you can go under 222 and a
25:16half over at DraftKings. It's 220 and a
25:19half at several other spots out there.
25:21So, this is the best line for sure. Talk
25:24to us about why you like Bonix under his
25:27222 and a half passing yards here.
25:31Obviously didn't come anywhere close to
25:33this last week against the Kansas City
25:35Chiefs who just maintained massive time
25:37of possession on Monday Night Football
25:39and Bonenix certainly looked terrible.
25:42Do they figure it out in this game,
25:44Rich? And uh give me a quick opine if
25:47you will about the play calling
25:49situation there. This is pure
25:51speculation on your part, but what
25:53happens there? How long does Shawn
25:54Payeyton bite his lip? Is he heavily
25:56involved in the game plan for this
25:58week's game? Does he does he get into
26:00the headset during timeouts and help
26:01steer things? At what point might he
26:03take over play calling entirely? Talk to
26:06us about that as you talk to us about
26:07why you like Bo Knicks over his passing
26:09yards.
26:11>> Yeah. Yeah. There's like I saw the
26:12interview of Shawn Payeyton at halftime.
26:14They asked if he was going to call plays
26:15and he was like, "We'll see how this
26:16goes." And you just kind of flip, you
26:18know, it's always tongue and cheek, but
26:19it was it was a disaster, right? Like
26:21you can't get excited to bet about what
26:23you saw on uh an over for based on what
26:25you saw on Monday night. Like I
26:26understand, but uh this was this one's
26:29pretty far away from my projection here.
26:31And I don't know if anyone listened to
26:33the show last year, but we actually gave
26:35out this same prop at a way higher
26:37number last year in this matchup. Uh and
26:40that's why I kind of want to have some
26:41faith you kind of going back here. The
26:44Jacksonville Jaguars since the start of
26:46last year are the number two pass funnel
26:48in the NFL. Teams have thrown the ball 4
26:50and a.5% over expectations against them.
26:53They have an awesome run defense, which
26:54we'll get into in a second. Uh, in this
26:57matchup last year, the Denver Broncos
26:58threw the ball 9.6%
27:00over pass rate expectations. Bonix had
27:0347 pass attempts. Uh, threw for 350
27:06yards in this matchup. They're just
27:08going to have to throw in this in this
27:10game. So, I want to play from a value
27:12perspective. Obviously, we are, you
27:14know, taking a step of faith that
27:15they're going to, you know, throw for
27:16more than 4.7 yards or pass attempt and
27:18that Boon Knicks is going to throw the
27:20football downfield to the degree where
27:22we told we were told this preseason they
27:24were going to and did not see in week
27:26one. We talked about in the matchup show
27:28giving some of these firsttime play
27:29callers that ran up against good
27:32defensive coordinators. Uh maybe a
27:35little bit of of a grace period, a
27:37little bit of cart blanch. You know, we
27:38had David Blau going against Vic Fangio
27:40and David Webb winning against Steve
27:41Spagnolo on the road in week one. Uh
27:44Steve Spagnolo's made a lot of a lot of
27:45play callers look bad. Uh I do think
27:47that they'll that we're going to see a
27:49lot of passing in this game and see a
27:50bounceback at least in terms of counting
27:52stats. Like that's not me saying like
27:54the Denver Broncos are going to look
27:55like this, you know, you know, air it
27:57out and look like this awesome offense
27:59because in that game that they played in
28:01week 16 year ago, Bonick's drew for a
28:03lot of yards, but they lost the game and
28:05it wasn't particularly pretty. But this
28:07this line being 220 and a2 I think is
28:10significantly low. Shawn Watson threw
28:12for 205 yards against them in week one
28:14on just 22 passes. I know some of that
28:16was you know late game script but that's
28:18why you know also you you get this
28:20factored in. I have this one just as a
28:22median projection in the 240s. Uh this
28:24is one last year we laded into the 300s
28:27and obviously got the 350. So um looking
28:30at Jacksonville they had the highest you
28:31know success rate uh per passing play in
28:33in week one. Uh, I think they're going
28:36to drive game scripts because this
28:37offense looks like an absolute wagon.
28:39Uh, and that's what we're going to have
28:41here where the Denver is chasing points
28:42and potentially having to throw the
28:44football against this very pass funnel
28:46defense. Yeah, a couple of your props
28:48this week are unders. And so this is the
28:50only over and we always like to ask you
28:53when you're betting one of these overs,
28:54do you like the lading potential here?
28:56So it sounds like you do. You have the
28:58line at 240. Uh, do you think that you
29:01ladder higher than 250 here? I know we
29:04said we laded it even higher last year,
29:06but uh where would you kind of want to
29:08stop with your own personal lading?
29:11>> I mean I honestly personally I probably
29:13will take this to the threes uh just by
29:16that I mean the way that Jacksonville
29:18opened the season compared to where they
29:20left off like I have kind of no
29:22questions about this unit. I mean they
29:24went into they went into Denver last
29:25year and put up 38 points. Uh, I think
29:28they're going to with Denver coming, you
29:30know, on a short week on the road, I
29:32think they're going to move the
29:33football. So, I I I still probably would
29:36take this to three uh on my own, but
29:38like, you know, definitely probably 250
29:40if you want to stop. Uh, we didn't even
29:41say like, you know, week one, you know,
29:43you know, the week one's always kind of
29:44a wonky week and we had like one great
29:46ladder with Devon Veillay and I also
29:48gave you guys an over for a player that
29:50had zero yards in the game. So, you
29:52know, we're, you know, we're working
29:54some things through. We're trying to
29:55find that sample size and work some
29:57things out as well. But, uh, this is one
29:59where I think we're it's overactoring,
30:01overindexing what happened in week one
30:03for the Denver Broncos. Uh, and I do
30:05think that they're going to have some
30:06passing success here, at least in terms
30:07of counting stats.
30:09>> Yeah, I'm looking at uh, some of the
30:11odds here. 300 plus yards is as high as
30:16plus 690. Uh 275 plus yards is
30:22uh as I scroll through here uh plus 300.
30:27Uh 280 is plus 410. So there's some nice
30:31payouts on some of the ladders if Boicks
30:34cross our fingers can get back on track
30:36here in week two against the Jags pass
30:39funnel. And that leads us to your second
30:42prop. same game and you're going to the
30:45same Denver Broncos offense, but this
30:46time you're looking at an under and
30:48you're looking at the under on JK
30:50Dobbins rushing yards. Right now, the
30:52best line in the market that we're
30:54seeing is 61 and a half. So, you can
30:56find 61 a half out there and you're
30:58looking to go under 61 and a half yards
31:01against the Jacksonville Jaguars run
31:03defense. Talk to us about that. Yeah,
31:05one thing I'll say at the top of this to
31:06keep an eye on is you might end up
31:08getting a better number on this later in
31:10the week depending what happens with
31:11R.J. Harvey. Uh he missed practiced
31:13yesterday with a hamstring injury, but
31:15because Denver played on Monday night,
31:16it wasn't a true practice day. It was a
31:18speculation. He finished the game. So,
31:19it seems like it could just be
31:21precautionary, but just something to
31:22keep an eye on because if R.J. Harvard
31:24to be ruled out, you might get a couple
31:25extra yards on this uh where it goes up.
31:28But I still think this number in general
31:30gives you a lot of outs. One, if R.J.
31:32Harvey plays, we know that there's
31:33potential there's just going to be a
31:34backfield split. Uh I already talked
31:36about too the Jacksonville Jaguars being
31:39a a pass funnel and pushing teams to
31:41throw the football at a higher rate for
31:43expectation. And it's not just because
31:45they're a good offense and they score
31:46points. They're also a really good run
31:48defense. In 2025, they were fourth in
31:51the NFL in yards per carry allowed the
31:53running backs. They come right back out
31:54in week one and allow 34 yards on 13
31:57runs. Yes, Cleveland Browns, but again,
31:59proof of concept to last year. This is
32:01something consistent. Just three running
32:03backs since the start of last year have
32:05run for 62 or more yards against the
32:07Jacksonville Jaguars and two of them
32:08were Jonathan Taylor. So, uh, this was
32:11one they're a team that we had a lot of
32:12success, you know, betting unders, uh,
32:14last last year in the run game. This
32:16one, I think, for all the things we
32:18covered with the Bo Knicks angle, the
32:19potential of a backfield split in the
32:21matchup uh, just correlates really well
32:23and lines up uh, with what we talked
32:25about. So, this one uh, we'll put a bow
32:28on that with that. All right, so we got
32:30three outstanding props from Rich
32:32Reebar. One lading opportunity, two
32:34unders. Great appearance here in week
32:37two's episode. Looking forward to more.
32:40Good luck with everything this weekend,
32:41Rich. Good luck. All right, now it's
32:43time for our outstanding referee expert
32:46Joe Gibbs to break down three of the
32:49most impactful games where he's going to
32:51be talking about that third team on the
32:54field. You've got team A, team B, and
32:56the refs. And the refs definitely have
32:59trends and tendencies that need to be
33:01incorporated into your analysis. This
33:04week he's going to hit the Cincinnati
33:06Bengals at the Houston Texans, the
33:07Jacksonville Jaguars at the Denver
33:09Broncos, and the Monday Night Football
33:11game when the New York Giants travel to
33:14take on the Los Angeles Rams. Three
33:16great games. Let's hear what Joe has to
33:19say.
33:19>> Okay, Bengals at Texans Adrien Hill, the
33:21referee. Uh last week 66% of penalties
33:25from Hills crew on the offensive side of
33:27the ball. That was the Patriots Seahawks
33:29game. After one week they lead the
33:31league in false start penalties. Last
33:33season 2025 they led the league in
33:34offensive holding penalties per game. So
33:37there is an emphasis from these guys
33:38along that line of scrimmage and the
33:40best way to negate that would be have a
33:41very disciplined offense. Cincinnati has
33:43been just that over the past five
33:45seasons. So they may hold an edge there
33:47on Sunday. Um we're going to look at
33:49automatic first downs by penalty. Last
33:51season, the Texans ranked in the top
33:53three. They're currently ranked in the
33:54top three after one week of this season.
33:56They're very good at picking up those
33:57illegal contact and defensive holding
33:59penalties. The past five seasons, the
34:01Bengals have ranked in the top five,
34:02generating automatic first downs via
34:04penalty, primarily via defensive pass
34:06interference and defensive holding. So,
34:09the way this game is adjudicated on
34:11Sunday on the edges, the battle between
34:13the wide receivers and the defensive
34:14backs will be fascinating and will play
34:17a part in the game. Do Hills crew let
34:20them play or do they get a little ticky
34:21tack? They start calling a lot of little
34:23different things. And so there's a huge
34:25variance as to which way they approach
34:27the game from an officiating standpoint.
34:30Both teams have the ability to get those
34:32easy yards and automatic first downs via
34:34the penalty. Cincinnati have played 10
34:36games with Hill in the Joe Burrow era.
34:38They're 72 and one in those contests.
34:40The one was a tie versus the Eagles in
34:422021. Point being, they do have a good
34:45record with him in that many games. No
34:47referee. they have a better record with.
34:49So, there's clearly something there.
34:51Maybe it's just coincidence, but there's
34:53something there that they excel when
34:55Adrien Hills crew is on the game. So,
34:58the game itself, to me, it's a coin toss
35:00game. I I like both teams. I think they
35:03both can make the playoffs, but
35:05ultimately only one can probably win
35:06unless it's a tie on Sunday. And for
35:09that reason, I've got to go with the
35:10underdog here. And so, Cincinnati,
35:12they're getting the points on Sunday
35:14against the Texans. And so that's the
35:16only way I can look with this is the
35:17Cincinnati Bengals plus the points on
35:19Sunday.
35:21Okay, so the Jaguars at the Broncos,
35:23John Hussy, the referee. Interesting
35:25note from week one, Hussy's crew, 74% of
35:28their overall penalties were assessed
35:29via pre- snap infractions, which led the
35:31league. And to put that in perspective,
35:33the league average most years is around
35:3538%. So they went above and beyond
35:37enforcing those pre-nap penalties last
35:40week. If that continues this week, uh
35:42it's a huge help for Denver, who has one
35:44of the best homefield advantages in the
35:46league. And the crowd noise, it really
35:48creates confusion on the opposing
35:50offensive line, and it creates those
35:52pre- snap penalties. So, keep that in
35:53mind. Uh Hussy himself, a fantastic
35:56homefield referee. Here's some numbers
35:57from the last decade with him. Home
35:59teams against the spread, 9961 and five.
36:03So, 62% against the spread with John
36:05Hussy. That's the best in the league
36:07over that time. and they're one and0
36:09straight up and against the spread this
36:10year with him. That was the Cincinnati
36:11Bengals last week. So, some positive
36:14signs there for Denver. What we saw on
36:16Monday night was an absolute debacle.
36:18Um, I guess the only way is up. And then
36:21you combine that with it's their home
36:22opener. There will be a focus on getting
36:25things right this week and then you have
36:27the best homefield referee in the
36:29business on the game. So, the
36:32overreaction from week one to week two
36:34is immense. people get carried away with
36:37what they saw in week one and it's
36:38almost a leap of faith that teams that
36:40were terrible in the opening week that
36:43you get back on them the second week but
36:45history shows that teams do tend to turn
36:47things around and quickly so for that
36:50reason all those elements combined the
36:52Broncos off a terrible performance at
36:54home home opener the best homefield
36:57referee and a relatively low number all
36:59things considered we're going to go here
37:01with the Denver Broncos as a small
37:03favorite versus the Jacksonville Jaguars
37:05all All right, so the Giants at the
37:06Rams, Monday Night Football, Brad Allen,
37:08the referee. Home teams over the past
37:10decade, 83 60-1 straight up, 59% with
37:14Brad Allen. So there's some positives
37:15for the Rams right there. Over that same
37:17period, those home teams about 52%
37:20against the spread. So as far as the
37:23game and the way it's going to be
37:24officiated, Allen's crew last year
37:27averaged the fewest penalties per game.
37:28Now fast forward to this year, week one,
37:30they averaged the most penalties, 22.
37:33So, you're going to see them make a
37:34concerted effort to really reduce that,
37:36which may help the Giants in theory. Uh,
37:39the Rams are one of the most disciplined
37:40teams, so they'll be fine. The issue
37:42last week for the Giants versus the
37:44Cowboys was the defensive secondary.
37:46They surrendered five automatic first
37:48downs by penalty, primarily by defensive
37:50pass interference. And so, that looms as
37:53a potential problem on Monday night.
37:55You've got Puka and you got Devonte
37:58Adams. Puker in particular is very good
37:59at fighting through the ball and getting
38:02those calls. if he doesn't actually get
38:03the catch itself. So, Giants need to be
38:06mindful of that. Um, get the pressure up
38:09front. Don't give Sappa time to really
38:10launch those things downfield. Um, the
38:13Giants, I was really impressed with them
38:15last week. I said the big three, Cam
38:17Scatteraboo, Jackson Dot, Malik
38:19Neighbors. My concern was how many games
38:21that they played together. Well, as it
38:22turns out, they got through that one
38:24unscathed and they're going to be there
38:25on Monday night versus a Rams team that
38:28look, they came in as the Super Bowl
38:30favorites and that was built off the
38:33fact that they're going to have Miles
38:34Garrett, Aaron Donald. Well, Miles
38:36Garrett's out and I'm not sure what the
38:38deal is with Aaron Donald. Is he
38:40playing? Is he not playing? The point is
38:42the Giants are not facing that team that
38:44everybody had circled as a Super Bowl
38:46team this season. So, they catch a break
38:48here in that regard. John Harour himself
38:51has a pretty good head-to-head record
38:53with Shawn McVey. Obviously, that was
38:55with Baltimore and Lamar, but there are
38:56sim some some similarities here with the
38:58Giants. You've got that physical running
39:00game that can control the line of
39:02scrimmage and control the clock. So,
39:06look, I like the Rams. I still think
39:07they're going to make the playoffs, but
39:08it's going to be a lot more choppy than
39:10people initially expected when the
39:12season began. So, for that reason, I
39:14like the Giants here getting a big
39:16number on Monday Night Football against
39:18the LA Rams.
39:20>> All right, that was some outstanding
39:21information from Joe as usual. I'm
39:24looking forward to hearing from him all
39:26season long. Let's keep it rolling.

40:08best bet of the week. All right, guys.
40:10Now it is time for my best bet of the
40:13week. It's a great feeling to start out
40:15the season with a win like we did last
40:17week. But last week's in the rearview
40:19mirror. Let's focus on the future. But
40:21before we do, it's hard not to mention
40:22we're 37 and 13 lifetime on these
40:26podcast best bets. Outstanding track
40:29record. I hope to keep it going here in
40:32week two. And for that, I'm going to
40:33turn to my odds jam screen, and we're
40:36going to go to Bucky Irving, the running
40:39back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This
40:41line is a solid 58 and a half at
40:44virtually every single book that's out
40:46there with a line, and we are going over
40:5058 for Bucky Irving rushing yards
40:54against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday
40:57afternoon. I've got a variety of reasons
40:59why I like Bucky Irving to have 60 plus
41:02rushing yards in this game. Let's first
41:05start with the fact that this
41:06interesting nugget that I dug up about
41:09teams playing back-to-back road games in
41:12Florida to start the season. May not
41:14hear this from anywhere else. Did the
41:16research last night interesting factoid
41:18here. We know that the Cleveland Browns
41:20just played down in Jacksonville last
41:22week. That was in Florida. And Cleveland
41:24is obviously not from Florida. They're
41:25from Cleveland, Ohio. where it's not
41:28nearly the temperature and humidity like
41:31it is down in Jacksonville. Now they
41:33have to go back and go even further
41:35south to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
41:38This is the first time in my database
41:40that goes back to 1990 that a team has
41:43gone back-to back road games weeks one
41:47and two of the season in Florida. I
41:50think that matters. I think it's
41:51difficult to acclimate yourself to that
41:54weather. I think it wears you down and I
41:57think it's going to cause problems for
41:59them. We'll talk about some of their
42:00missed tackles. But one of the
42:02interesting other facts here is related
42:04to how often has that happened even in
42:07the first seven weeks of the season
42:09where a team that's not from Florida has
42:11had to go to Florida twice in two weeks,
42:14two straight games. It's only happened
42:16four times since 1990. So super rare
42:20that in the first seven weeks of the
42:22season, forget the first two, the first
42:24seven, a team goes back to back in
42:26Florida, those four teams 0 and4
42:28straight up 0 and4 against the spread.
42:31And the biggest stat here that factors
42:34into this game in my opinion, I know
42:35it's a super small sample size, guys,
42:37they've allowed 190 rushing yards per
42:40game in that second meeting, second trip
42:43to Florida, 190 rushing yards per game.
42:46We they saw games of 248 rushing yards
42:49allowed. 223, 166, and 123 rushing
42:53yards. They're allowing 5.1 yards per
42:56rush in those games. And all those teams
42:58were short underdogs of between two and
43:00a half and four and a half points. Not
43:03like what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are
43:05laying points to the Cleveland Browns in
43:07this game. Cleveland just allowed last
43:11week in Jacksonville who and I don't
43:14think those two running backs are super
43:16dynamic or elite. You got Chris
43:18Rodriguez, you got Bashalt Tutin. I I
43:20think Bucky Irving is better than both
43:22of them and Buckyy's actually healthy
43:24right now. Um they allowed 4.32 yards
43:28after contact per rush to Jacksonville
43:31Jaguars running backs last week. They
43:33allowed 121 rushing yards overall at 4.8
43:368 yards per carry to Jacksonville
43:38Jaguars rushing backs last week. Bucky
43:41Irving played 62% of the snaps last
43:44week. The issue for Bucky Irving and why
43:46he only had less why he had less than 50
43:49rushing yards is Tampa goes down 14-3
43:53thanks in part due to Baker Mayfield and
43:56other fumbles, right? They go down 14-3
43:59with two minutes in the first quarter
44:00remaining. They're down 21-3 midway
44:04through the second quarter. This is not
44:06the situation that you can run the
44:08football. This is not a run first
44:09opportunity for you in that first half
44:12because of the way that the game was be
44:14playing out. Bucky Irving had just five
44:17rushes. That's that's nothing. Five
44:20rushes. You know how many yards he still
44:21gained? 31. 31. And it wasn't just one
44:25run for like 25 yards. He had three runs
44:28that gained at least nine yards. He
44:31averaged 6.2 yards per carry. They just
44:33couldn't run the football enough because
44:36they were losing so badly that they had
44:39to pass the ball a bit more and they
44:41kept turning the ball over as well. Due
44:44to the score, Tampa Bay had only six
44:46running back runs in the second half. Um
44:49Gainwell got some run in the second half
44:52because of the game state because it was
44:53sort of like a pass play where Gainwell
44:56would be more likely to be in there, but
44:57they're calling a run check into a run
44:59or it's a run play that just better
45:01suited Gainwell. Gainwell averaged three
45:04yards a carry on those runs. Bucky
45:06Irving was at 5.6 on those second half
45:08runs. I just don't think that Gainwell
45:11is a legitimate threat to Bucky Irving.
45:14Um, I think Irving had just eight rushes
45:18in the entire game.
45:20There's no way Todd Bulls allows that to
45:23happen in this game against the
45:24Cleveland Browns.
45:27Todd BS is going to come out here,
45:29especially the way Baker was running
45:30around, fumbling the football, having it
45:33strip sacked, all this nonsense, and
45:35he's going to say, "We're running the
45:37football with Bucky Irving, and we're
45:39going to have success against this
45:40defense that just was gashed for 121
45:43rushing yards last week at 4.8 yards per
45:46carry.
45:47Bucky doesn't even need to get half of
45:49the 121 rushing yards, right? like he he
45:52is still going to eclipse this number uh
45:55with slightly less than half of that and
45:57he's obviously going to get way more
45:58than half of the rushing attempts here
46:00for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think
46:02their game state is going to be better.
46:04I think their head coach being defensive
46:06minded top BS is going to lean into the
46:08run a little bit more and I think Bucky
46:11offers bigger upside and the potential
46:13to break explosive runs uh better than
46:16BEA Tutin or Chris Rodriguez. So, I just
46:18think that Bucky Irving is in a great
46:20spot here. Um, like last week, I told
46:23you that I had a lot of props that I
46:25like, and I'm always going to be direct
46:27with you guys in terms of how I'm
46:29feeling about certain things.
46:32I don't love the fact that the time I'm
46:34recording this show, I don't have
46:36markets right now for props for longest
46:39rushes or longest catches or things of
46:43that nature. Those just aren't lined
46:44right now. And we'll have to see if I
46:46need to adjust when I'm recording this
46:47show to accommodate our ability to use
46:51more of those types of props on the best
46:54bet segment. But I go through my list
46:57and I like compile all the games and the
46:59data and the analysis and come up with
47:01my list of props that I like. I told you
47:03last week that there were a number of
47:05props that I really liked at the top I
47:07felt strongly about and I went with the
47:09Kenneth Walker receptions. We ended up
47:12going seven and one with my strongest
47:15props last week, those elevated props
47:17that we gave out. Seven and one for
47:20subs. I feel very strongly about the the
47:23props that we've got this week at the
47:24top. The ones that I feel very strongly
47:26about, I'm selecting the Bucky Irving,
47:28but there's a lot that I'm leaving out
47:31there. some numbers that I just don't
47:33understand. Some unders that I'm looking
47:35at that I just I just don't understand
47:38how they could possibly line these guys
47:40at those numbers. We're going to be
47:42giving those out to subs uh as well. So,
47:45I feel good about the card this week,
47:46but for the purpose of the best bet,
47:48we're going with Bucky Irving rushing
47:50yards over 58 and a half. Let's try to
47:53improve to 2 and 0 on the season. 38 and
47:5613 lifetime. And that'll do it for our
47:59week 2 Sharp Football Analysis show.
