In the first hour of Sharp Money, hosts Patrick Meagher and Dustin Swedelson are joined by Aaron Halterman to handicap the CFB Week 1 slate.
This is Sharp Money with Patrick Maher on VSEND, the Sports Betty Network.
Sharp Money the Sports Betty Network. It's a big day. That's the big guy the d downtown Las Vegas. I'm Patrick Maher live from Los Angeles. As we welcome you in. If there's a little extra energy today, it is warranted. One more sleep, all right. And it's funny because I was at the local coffee shop here. I saw two different dudes fan drafting at six thirty am on their computers, like get away from the family, got to lock down the team, gotta lockdown the squad for this year. And it just feels good as we're going to turn the page, get into that twenty four to twenty five NFL season coming up tomorrow night, and we've got a little bit of that three point boogie going on the three point dance. Remember, you're constantly hunting. Let's just focus on the NFL for a second, constantly hunting those key numbers. So it's very simple to remember you go three, seven, six, fourteen, ten, But three is the most important margin of victory in the NFL. And frankly, whether it's Thursday night in Kansas City or Friday night, lights in Sal Paulo, Brazil. That three is key. So again, if you want to lay it with Kansas City, you can lay the two and a half. If you want to take it like the big guy in Baltimore, you can take the three. Though we are focusing on the total. We'll get to that coming up in just a bit. He looks nervous today, a little concerned about him before I go to him Green Bay and Philadelphia. This number is pretty interesting because the threes have evaporated, so we are now down to Philly laying two and a half. I think the wrong team might be favored here to start the year. I think this is a pickham on a neutral court. Of course in Brazil now it's not neutral. You know what, I'll leave that alone. I want to go to Brazil. I'd like to go to South America, whether it's for a football game or just to site. See you understand what I'm saying. So two two and a half, mostly two and a half's in the market for the Eagles right now, over love and a very talented young team and the Green Bay Packers. What's coming up on today's program. Let's go ahead and show who's to come. We've got an all star line up today. We're gonna do some of these guys a little early in the week. It's okay, big guy, we don't have it. It's okay, don't stress. Aaron Halterman is going to join us. One of our partners, Josh Applebaum, a long time mainstay VISA insider, and Mike Samich. And I should give Stormy and Samach some credit here. As I was getting set up, you know, with Shawn and Laerber and the closet there, I saw Samage doing a great breakdown of chalk and they're breaking down some you know, sports betting parlance er terms, and he was talking about chalk and tying it back to, of course where chalk originated with the horse races. So I enjoyed that conversation very much. What are we going to do outside of Halterman, apple Bomb and Samich, Well, we're gonna have a little fun. First off, you should know that Jamar Chase is in uniform today. Duh. I mean this is it's only going to become accelerated literally the next going into the year. NFL wise, you're gonna have double the amount that held in this year because the template continues to get reinforced, and all you have to do is chill. Players hate two things in the NFL franchise, tags and training camp. So if you're a Trent Williams and you're on your way to Canton already, why the hell would you want to practice in the heat. If you're Brandon Ayuk and you look around and you see people getting paid, why wouldn't you use leverage? And if you're Jamar Chase and arguably the third best wide receiver, I think most would say you could have a conversation about Hill and Jefferson then Chase for me, along with DeVante Adams and some others would be three. Jamar Chase is like, yeah, I'm watching all of these dudes, including Jalen Wattah Oppo Hill get paid. Bookoo, give me the cash, show me the money. You understand, Jerry. So that's what happened, and it looks like Jamar Chase is gonna give it a go. That would be my intention or their intention when New England visits Cincinnati on Sunday. So, Kyle Pitts, I should let you know that Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring. So take that incidente for Atlanta's opener, and we're gonna talk about Caleb Williams his open at home against the Titans, and what's happened since the merger with the number one overall pick being a quarterback, what they've done ats and straight up in that first game. Okay, so rookie quarterbacks, of course, I have. We've got a lot for you as far as futures coming up in today's program as well, I've got five. I've got my five season win totals best bets. As I was going over them this morning with the Big Guy, I started to realize these are pretty unpopular. I think when we unveil the list. I'm not pretending like a mister contrarian, but these aren't I don't think these are common. As far as if you go to the NFL betting guide over at vson dot com, I think I've got some surprises here. I've got some alt lines as well with some plus juice, so we'll have some fun with that. The Big Guy went nuts with his futures, whether it be Super Bowl Division Offensive Player of the Year MVP, and I know he's added more to the mix, so we'll get into that as well. Okay, so we set the table, and let's set a bigger table because my man likes to eat and say hi to Dustin Sweedelson's cracking big guy.
Ah yeah, Well, we're looking at twenty bets already for this upcoming weekend between college and the NFL, so things are getting a bit out of control.
I will admit that.
You mentioned the wrong team being favored though on Friday with the Eagles and Packers, and I think there's no doubt if both teams play to their top end ability. The Eagles are the better team, but it's Brazil, so it feels like a little more bottom end, if you know what I mean.
I do.
I do know what you mean, and for a multitude of reasons, I'm not gonna have you elucidate. So a nice little start to the show for the big guy that should carry him for the next two hours. Okay, I will say we've been talking about the new three point zero of vsin with the new lineup, which is awesome. I was texting and I think it's been announced by our good buddy Bill ad in the daily newsletter The Man of Mystery. You can go sign up right now. Vson dot Com All you do is enter your email address. I Bill knows that I'm a huge fan of the newsletter because it's just like, hey, you just poured your coffee, why don't you set the betting template for the day, the menu for the day. And he mentioned that one of our old partners and coworkers, Adam Shine, is going to be writing two articles a week. He used to write for NFL dot com, and I think most know by now he's going to be joining us on the air. I was texting with Shine earlier to congratulate him, and I will tell you this. He used one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine ten. Now that's him. Okay, you're gonna notice with the energy in Adam Shine, you know mad Dog Sports RADIOCBS, NFL dot com. He used it looks close to twelve exclamation points to tell me he's excited. So that that checks, right, that kind of checks.
Yeah, who's better than you, Patty?
Yeah? He would he gets stuck on things, Shine. So what would happen is we'd see each other for all those years in the hallways in New York City at Serius XM, and all he would say is he points to me to say how about those Lions. Well, the curious thing about somebody asking me for forty plus years about the Lions is it always ended with a chuckle. And seemingly now the Lions are not just the talk of the NFC, but most are like, I'm gonna get crazy this year and have the Lions in the super Bowl. That's not crazy. Last year would have been crazy.
Okay, words, I never thought i'd say out loud. I couldn't get down on the Lions to win the Super Bowl because the number.
Was too short. I just can't have funny. I can't do ten to one. I can't do that.
And that's funny how that works. Isn't that funny how it works? Just as an aside, And then we'll come back and talk about tomorrow's Thursday night till to open up the season in Kansas City with Baltimore in town. How about the idea your New York Football giants had the hard knocks? Now, I think did they do the traditional hard knocks, because now there's in season hard knocks, which I think is a little bit more interesting.
They were pre season hard knocks, and they were definitely re enacting things that already happened, and people were getting annoyed thinking that they were real.
Now, if you're looking at the most losses this year, I would say the New England Patriots are one with a bullet and then you start to have the conversation after that, most are talking about the Giants like there aren't a lot of expectations for the Football Giants this year. I also believe that when you have this hard knock situation, I think sometimes it can expose the brain trust. And Joe Shine, no relation to Adam. Joe Shine is the general manager of the Giants. I think he should stop everything. He needs to stop talking, He needs to stop putting down his quarterback. He needs to stop thirsting over Jaydon Daniels just take it easy, because he said to Ryan Poles. Now, the expectations are off the charts for the Bears this year. A number one quarterback has never walked into a situation like Caleb Williams is going to walk into. I think Kayleb Williams is going to be special. I think the market's overrating the Bears this year in division and conference and even win total. Having said that, I think they're going to be very good. I think the defense is very good. But Joe Shine said to Ryan Poles, quote, it's got to be nice to be scouting quarterback. Joe, you chose to re up with Daniel Jones you to year what?
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. I'm shaking my head.
I'm completely flabbergasted by what the Maras and the Tishes are doing with this organization right now. The reason is that's a buttoned up organization. Okay, most would agree they've got day ball and year two. Take it easy. They've got day ball in year two, undressing the quarterback and the team and losing his freaking mind on the sidelines. Now, whether or not he's going to be a good coach, I don't know. Year one wild card and now he's got his general man. Tell me how usurping the dude that you chose to extend in any way that confidence is key coming off the injury. Tell me how the general manager and coach constantly discussing other quarterbacks can be helpful for a guy that needs to prove himself this year. And Daniel Jones, I'm begging you to do so. At six and a half on the season win total for the Giants, please explain yourself.
He could have been scouting quarterbacks the last two years, but he chose to sign Daniel Jones to the contrary. That's on you, bro, you decide to latch yourself to Daniel Jones, that's a mistake that could cost you your job, and I'd actually argue with you. I don't think the Maras run a very good organization. I think there's been a lot.
But let me just say this to follow up. I think Malik Neighbors is going to be great. Some would say it's a rookie move by a general manager just to take the flashy toy on the board. I'm just saying, is this Dave Gettleman three point zero like vs? I mean, what is happening here?
People?
Three is the key Tomorrow night in Kansas City, We're back sharp money.

It's a great time of the year. Excited to be here at Dustin Sweetelsen the d You know there's something going on because Dustin turned around and remember the bartender that he's got a crush on over at the d right over his right shoulder. She delivered him waters without him asking, so he's feeling himself. The issue is he started dating this girl in Los Angeles two weeks ago and he's already bored o her. So that's an issue. Sorry to Dustin's mom for breaking the news. Another issue on today, Yay.
Broke it to the girl as well. Did we not learn our lessons on this show? No, she knows I'm sarcastic.
I'm totally joking. Another issue on today's show is I am battling through two hours with one zen left one three milligram zen Winter Green bill Adoing knows my struggle. This one's gonna be popped at twelve, that is forty three minutes away. Let's get to it. You've got three in kans. Honestly, Dustin, every girl that's ever dated you knows that I am a lying, sarcastic person. And if she doesn't get it by now, she better get it because everything I say is opposite day.
I'm just saying.
The last time this went down on this very show was with maybe Mary, and things did not end well with maybe Mary when she started listening to the show via by the Way Downlod the show.
Where we get your podcast.
It's where this young lady downloaded and heard me making fun of her after like our fourth date.
Right, But the key point is you made fun of her, not me. Clear conscience, Cande three take it easy. Forty seven. You can find over at Westgate right down the road, and you and I are going to be on the under in Baltimore Kansas City, so you may want to drive over to the Westgate after work because the best number I can find in the market right now is forty seven. Most shops showing forty six in a half. And one thing to note about this one, You know Kansas City's number is because of the name recognition and brand recognition and Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, the totals are always going to be shaded upward. And the last twenty two played at Arrowhead they are eighteen and four to the under. I love the under to start the season defenses ahead of the offenses, so we have plenty of time to get into that matchup big Guy, which we'll do coming up in just a bit. If we could, could we get to my season my top five season win total, so over unders. I came up with my top five list, and I do believe these are going to be unpopular, maybe a little contrarian. And I'm going to start with it's not in order, but I'll start with number five. Okay, so the list doesn't look like it's an oora. It's a good job by the big guy. I've been talking about the Commanders for a long time now. If you dig through the analytics nerds, sports batters and the people that want to talk down to you, they say the ceiling is six wins for the Commanders. Well, I hope not, because I'm going over six and a half with the dollar thirty juice. This ceiling is the roof. Okay, this team is going over. I can see this team making the postseason four and thirteen last year. What's the issue with the four and thirteen Commanders? Last year? They had by far the worst coaching staff in football, with a Ron Rivera that couldn't wait to get to Pebble Beach to go play thirty six. Okay, Ron Rivera is a great guy disaster as a coach. Eric b Enemy he couldn't cover the quarterback, meaning he couldn't draw up coverage. Sam Holl got sacked more times than Dustin's girlfriends. I mean that was a disaster last year. And so four and thirteen you get a new coaching staff, a new coaching staff which is invigorated with enthusiasm, and it starts with backward cap dan Quinn I can't get enough now. Cliff Kingsbury, I'm not a huge fan of he is a terrible head coach coach, but I think he's going to scheme up Jaden Daniels and that's where the handicap starts. If we're being honest. Jayden Daniels, I think he's going to be special. I don't really have much of a distinction between Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels when the play breaks down and the offensive line is suspect. But when the play breaks down, Dustin Sweedelson, Jayden Daniels is Lamar Jackson running the football. That's factual. He's going to make such a big difference. I think the two years ago Austin Eckler shows up this year, and if that happens, we're talking about seventy to eighty receptions out of the backfield. Brian Robinson Junior is a little bit of thunder to that Eckler lightning and he showed a little extra pepin a step. Why is that important? Hello? Heading into last year he got shot a la Ricky Pearcell. Okay, Brian Robinson Junior. I like it. Terry McLaurin, scary Terry, what's cracking? And we know he's wide receiver one. Now you go to the defense, and this is where the big difference has to take place. That was the worst defense in football last year, and that's Ron Rivera. Here comes Dan Quinn. What did you do with the Dallas defense? We know? Armstrong comes in, Follower Junior comes in, Bobby Wagner comes in. I think the defense just has to be middling mid, as the kids say, to get to seven wins. That's all I need for over six and a half. Oh, by the way, don't sleep on Senate the rookie tight end and adding the Vet and Ertz if he's healthy, that's a lot of catches in a security blanket. Oh, I don't like it, Dustin. I love the commanders. Over six and a half, Okay, I don't say too much because I gotta get to my whole list.
If they're gonna go over, it's because of those outer division games they capitalize on.
You have to like from your perspective.
Carolina at home, the Bears matchup with Kayler Williams at home, Steelers at home, Titans at home.
Those are all four winnable games for them.
Thank you, buddy. Now you better plug your ears on this next one. The Carolina Panthers win total is set at five and a half and frankly in the market right now, the sharpie they like the over five and a half, a big step forward in Canalis's first year with the Panthers. Do I like the over five and a half?
Nay?
Do I like the under five and a half?
Nay?
Alt line, I like under four and a half wins for the Carolina Panthers at plus one eighty. All right, the wide receivers are gonna be better. That's an easy division and an easy schedule. Too much is unknown. Do we have ice people? Did we watch Bryce song last year?
He?
I don't want to say this respectfully. Is slow?
Oh?
I don't know how to say this respectfully. He's tiny. This is a bad football team.
Got better?
Personnel wise. Uh, you know, I have him at four wins. It's not bad. In Canalys's first year when they won just two games. You double your win total from last year. ALT total under four and a half. Carolina Panthers plus one eighty what up?
It's disrespectful just to my guy, Dave Canalis and these Panthers they're gonna be much better. They're going over the win total. I back you, I believe in you, but for this one and I can't follow you.
Next up, all total plus two to twenty five? Does that sound juicy? All that has to happen is Jared Mayo Drawd has to go under three and a half wins with the Patriots. That is happening, people. This is a one to two win team.
That's a lock.
Now they're total in the market, They're true total. As far as season win totals four and a half, that's kind of laughable. We're going under three and a half. Here's the question I have for you, Dustin. Does New England want to win or do they want a draft Travis Hunter?
They want a draft Travis Hunter?
Yeah, they do, they do, and they will and they're gonna win one to two games. Under three and a half is a gift at plus two to twenty five. Let's go number two on my list. This is an over, and this one's cake cake cake cake cake cake like la. You know what I'm saying, Dustin, This is over ten and a half on the Detroit Lions. Look, they won twelve games last year. The roster got better. With reader Carlton Davis nine and three straight up indoors last year. Why is that important? They play three outdoor games this year? In total, they were eight and two at home. Why is that important? They're gonna do it again this year ten and a half on a team that just got better. You gotta be kidding me. With Dan Campbell starting to figure it out as a head coach. Ten and a half is Kwanza. It is Hanukkah and Christmas rolled up into one and a Persian in La and a pear tree. Number one is San Francisco. Now this is unpopular. Look at him laughing. He liked that one. San Francisco is an unpopular play. San Francisco is going under eleven and a half. Super Bowl hangover schedules brutal at Buffalo Rams, Chiefs Jets to open up the year. And here's the problem. Kyle Shanahan overrated. Frankly, look at the Super Bowls. He's had leads in both of them. He had a pretty big lead as an offensive coordinator against the Patriots. I think you've heard of it. And this is a team that is not just injury prone. They're coming into the season banged up. And oh, by the way, maybe a slept on story. Their rookie wide receiver got shot in the chest and thank god, he's okay, you're let he got my man went to an event for the team rolling through San Francisco. Homeboy said, that's a nice watch. Bam shot him through the chest, went out his back. That's not a good homen people. Eleven and a half to the under. My goodness, that's five and zero to start the year. Aaron Halterman is next, shot the Persia.
This is Sharp Money with Patrick maher on v send the Sports Betting.
Network the Sharp Money vsent D Sports Betting Network, as we welcome you back on Patrick maher Live from Los Angeles. Dustin Sweedelson hanging out at the D in downtown Las Vegas over the weekend. Our next guest. He went five and oh for vsonprosover at Vson dot Com and the best bets is that good Dustin Sweetelson to go five and.
Oh, and I believe there were a few plus money prices in there.
Dogs. I mean he just he.
The word value gets thrown around a lot. Aaron Halterman is.
Value and we value him as a contributor here on Charp Money. And we say hi to Aaron Halterman Racing Dudes dot Com at Racing Underscore Dudes Progressive Guest Line brings you, mister Halterman, of course, dudes who bet on sports and a nice little five and oh weekend for you. Thank you from all the listeners and Vson pros.
It was a good weekend. Yeah, hopefully we don't blow it this weekend. We've got more plays coming up, so hopefully hopefully we keep it going. But yeah, look, it was nice to get out to good starting college football.
I really felt like I was really.
Prepared hard this offseason for this first couple of weeks because I've been getting beat the last couple of years in these first couple of weeks, so to have that success early is nice.
Just hope it doesn't fall apart, and that's what We're gonna.
Try to do a little humility. You know how he does dust and he comes in with the five and zero sweep of the board over the weekend, comes in with the humility. Makes you and I look bad more in particular you, because all you do is brag.
Well, yeah, but I don't talk about the bad moments. Why would I talk about the bad moments. They're just getting away the good moments.
It helps you keep a job. Or so, Baylor and Utah, we should start there. Three twenty nine Baylor Utah. Now you laid the best number, because this number did drop down to fourteen. Now Utah obviously laying it, it has jumped up the fourteen and a half. I am seeing fifteen's in the market right now. Let me just see where this opens. So this open is high as seventeen. I think a couple of shops open seventeen and a half. So Baylor at Utah open seventeen and just yesterday got hit down to fourteen. That's when you bet it. It is up to fourteen and a half. Mister Halterman, Yeah, Utah.
Is a weird team so far early as far as how they're being valued. Guys, I thought it was weird. They were like thirty five point favorites thirty four and a half I think last weekend against Southern Utah, which I thought was crazy, and now we're at fourteen against Baylor. I just think this Utah team is much better than Baylor first game of the Big Twelve, so that'll be a big deal as well. They're at home. I think they'll be jacked up for this one. And I watched every play of that Utah game because I bet him last week and I saw what I wanted to see out of Cam Rising. I think the biggest thing with him, you want to see how he was moving around.
He kind of just wanted to see.
Overall how he looked coming off that year long injury last season.
He looked fine.
And look this Utah defense, that's one thing we didn't have any question marks about. We knew they would be really good. You know, they should have been good Week one, and they were. I think they'll be very good against Baylor. Baylor's got a young offense. I think Utah will swarm them. I think they'll hold them down and then it's just a matter of can Cam Rising kind of get that offense going enough to cover. You know this fourteen point spread or fourteen and a half you're betting it now. I like both numbers. I think Utah wins this one pretty comfortably. And again they're kind of my ride or die. I really like Utah all year, so it just makes sense to play them at this spot for sure.
Yeah, and you know with Kuthi back, they're two best players on offense back from injury that you mentioned the Big twelve, and they're a much different team in Salt Lake. That's when you want to back this Utah team and winning him. Next up, Oklahoma State is hosting Arkansas, So let's talk about the number here. So opened as high as nine and a half and has been bet down to seven and a half. Oklahoma State lay in the seven and a half. With Arkansas coming to town, this is an interesting game.
You know, they haven't played in a long time, but this used to be a big rivalry and I think it'll develop into one with these two schools.
They're very close together.
You know, you looked at last week Lahoma State hosted South Dakota State, who was a you know, an FCS school, but they're on a long winning streak, a very good team and they were nine and a half point favorites, just nine and a half point favorites Oklahoma State was they took care of business.
They dominated that game.
I didn't think it would be, you know, that close of a game, but I also didn't think they'd win forty four to twenty, so that was kind of impressive. They get Arkansas in here this weekend. Now, look, I think Arkansas is going to be better guys, I do, but I don't think they're quite at the level of Oklahoma State just yet. I think Oklahoma State has a program a couple of years ahead of them. Arkansas's got a lot of experienced players, but not experienced together there at Arkansas a lot of transfer portal guys. So I kind of think this is an early season game where you can jump on the Cowboys in Stillwater.
They're another team.
You mentioned Utah being good at home, Oklahoma State very good at home as well. So with the line coming down to seven and a half, I thought it made a lot of sense. I just think that Oklahoma State's got enough experience to really kind of jump on a kind of a younger Arkansas team early. And Taylor Green for Arkansas quarterback, I'm just not completely sold on him yet either. So I just think enough pieces are there that the nones are there. Oklahoma State, we know what they are. So I think this line being just seven and a half, I'm gonna lay it with the cowboys.
You know what's crazy about Arkansas and Dustin. I think maybe we were on the air on the radio when this was all going down. But they say time, time heals all wounds. Well, when Bobby Petrino was coaching at Arkansas, he was like, he told his wife, I'll be right back right then he hopped on the crotch rocket and went and picked up his assistant and then and then spilled it with her with shorty on the back, got fired at the neck, brace on at the presser, and went on to do a couple of things. Now he's back running the offense at Arkansas, big guy. The sec just is different. You're gonna hire homeboy back like that? Is you really want a good offense?
Yeah?
It does feel a bit like breeding.
Like you left as the man in charge, now you're back in a lesser role. It's a weird relationship now. But here's the He's offense. But I don't know what Arkansas has it's a weird transitional year for them, and Sam Pittman's kind of all in.
He has to like prove it to keep his job.
Yeah, Petrino knows offense, he should know defensive driving a little bit better, stay on the whip, bro. All right, let's continue with mister Halterman. Yeah, there you go, big guy Dustin for those on the radio, was pretending he was riding a motorcycle. That is the contributions I'm looking for. Okay, let's see he's a host. He host mariners A's first five under four Halterman.
Yeah, I mean self explanatory here with this when both teams really can't hit. Seattle definitely can't. Oakland really can't either. I do want to shout out Oakland for a second though. Guys, for as bad as everybody thought they would be in their situation that they're in, they're a competitive team. I mean, they're not great. They're six eight and mostly because they can't hit. But give them credit. Yeah, they've come out and they've played well really the second half of the season.
But anyway back to this under four.
In the first five, you've got Kirby on the mound for Seattle, You've got JP Sears on the mound for Oakland, both very reliable pitchers. Especially in the first five for JP series, he is very good. I think this has got two to one, three to two written all over talking about the full game.
So I'll take the under four for the first five. It's just one of those things. Every every way you handicap it, every way you.
Look at it, it just feels like this is gonna be a low scoring game tonight.
So I think the first five makes sense.
Okay, death taxes and Halterman betting the Snakes laying a run and a half. That's really what it comes down to. Diamondbacks at the Giants. You're gonna lay the run and a half with the Snakes.
I mean, would it have been right if I came on here and didn't mention this. You have to bet the Diamondbacks if you're me, it's my thing. Now.
Look, they kind of I think came down to earth a little bit, losing three out of four to the Dodgers over the weekend. I think they went into that thinking, Okay, maybe we can make up ground here on them obviously in the division, and it didn't go that well. They did bounce back though they got to win last night in San Francisco, and now tonight at plus one twenty five, laying a run and a half, I think it makes sense. Gallon on the mound obviously one of their better pitchers, so obviously that's going to be in the favor of kind of holding down this Giants offense.
It's hit and miss for sure, so I think Gallen will have success.
And then Hayden Burns Song on the mound against against the Diamondbacks.
I mean, that seems like a total mismatch to me.
And that's the thing.
You know, we talked about the Diamondbacks early they just weren't really hitting.
Guys were in slumps.
That's how they've come out of.
This, guys.
I mean, the pitching's always kind of been decent there, but they kind of went in a slump hitting early, and now they've come out of it. So I'm looking at it and going, look, if we can get five or six runs tonight, we should cover this at run and a half and again plus money at plus one twenty five.
It just made too much sense to me.
So yeah, listen, I gotta say brand guys, I gotta take the Diamondbacks.
They're my guys. Hopefully they can keep it going get another win tonight.
Nothing if not consistent. Aaron Haltman, Hey, big guy, I'm just counting up Aaron's place for today. He's got four of them. We're gonna get those on the sheet.
I'm looking. I believe they're all now up there and good to go.
Yeah.
While he was talking one, two, three, four, did.
You have anything to say to Aaron before we say goodbye?
Aaron?
If the Orioles play the Diamondbacks in the World Series, who.
You rooting for?
Ooh wow, what a great question.
The Diamondbacks, because I have a lot more money on the Diamondbacks.
And that would be Oriole.
Third, did you get thirty to forty on the Snakes forty forty?
Yeah, so, I mean, I there, it'd be like the Panthers. You know, we would become Diamondbacks. Bring out Mountain Rushmore. We'll be back, but Diamondbacks instead of Panthers.
Your your Chiefs tomorrow night. What's up?
It's the regular season, right, so who knows what will happen with the Chiefs. They were very bad in the regular season last year, but look, they should be better guys, they really should. They've done things to make the offense better. I will take the Chiefs tomorrow. I will take the chiefs lamar in Kansas City. Give me, give me the Chiefs.
Okay, lay the two and a half. You can find that number and again, if you like the Ravens, take the three. Aaron Altman, as always, you are the best. Racing Dudes dot com a lot of horse racing this weekend. Head over to Racing dudes dot com. Thank you.
I appreciate it, all right, thanks guys.
When we come back, the big guy got mad because I was talking about those season win totals, So we'll get to his futures next. Sharp Money.
This is Sharp Money with Patrick maher on VSEND the Sports Betting Network.
Ray Sharp Money vs D Sports Betting Network. We're just seeing if any news is breaking right now. Doesn't look like it. I guess the biggest news so far today it has been announced that jamar Cha showed up in pads at today's practice. So does that mean you're going to see the star wide receiver against New England on Sunday with the Bengals hosting?
Most likely?
We welcome you back. I'm Patrick Maher live from Los Angeles, Dustin Sweedelson at the d in downtown Las Vegas. Josh Applebaum joining us in just about twelve thirteen minutes. Of course VSIN analysts, and we've got Mike Somich coming on the show early in the week, so we appreciate the effort from Mike, who worked earlier today on that money Moven. Now, Dustin got upset with me because we were talking about some futures. Now again, if his graphic is correct, there's going to be issues because mine was just thrown together. I gave you my five best season win totals, and of course I'm looking at Dustin's graphic. Those of you watching on YouTube TV and VSIN just wait till you see the detail in this graphic. It's his I understand just quickly. I had three overs and two unders for the Big Guy, San Francisco under eleven and a half minus one forty five juice love it, don't like it. The Lion's over ten and a half minus one thirty five. Gift. I've got two alts. I've got New England under three and a half plus two twenty five. You kidding. I've got Carolina under four and a half alt plus one eighty thank you, and then I've got Washington over six and a half minus one thirty one. Arm bandit. I just hit the slot. So now we go to the big guy. He's got his futures and just like his words, it's gonna be filled to the point where you can't even read the graphic. So we get to it. Let's go Dustin.
Okay, let's begin with the Super Bowl. I wanted to get one.
AFC, one NFC team that I thought the number was just too large, one long shot. So of course I've been high on these Eagles ever since they started fixing the coaching staff in the offseason. I think Saquon Barkley is a massive addition for the explosiveness of this offense. I am high on them, and I think fifteen to one doesn't match the talent that also goes for the New York Jets at twenty one to one, Patrick, because if everything goes right for the Jets, they are super Bowl bound. If everything clicks, they are the best team in football, and I think at twenty one to one it is worth the risk. And then my final Super Bowl play that I know you will agree with, me on, look, if you let Sean McVay into the dance and this thing becomes in a vacuum, a one game prep session to cram week after week in the playoffs, I will back Sean McVay every step of the way. That's why thirty to one just seems way too big. So I had to get the rams in as part of my Super Bowl trio of bets.
I agree with you. I like all your bets. The quarterback coach combo. If you want to put Reed and Mahomes number one, that's fine, But number two with a bullet is McVeigh Stafford.
And by I may be adding Stafford MVP at thirty to one, just because that number is so big, and I think there's an element that if Aaron Donald's out of the way for that defense and those other players struggle a bit, that's fine. McVeigh doesn't care. He'll go shot for shot with anyone. That's why they have a chance to go to the Super Bowl. But if that happens in Stafford's just dropping back like old days in Detroit with Calvin Johnson and just chucking the ball to cup, throwing it to Nakua, making things happen. I think there's potential for him to have just obscene passing numbers. Therefore, he'd be in the MVP mix.
And they always get rookies to pop. They somehow find, you know, Karen Williams. The biggest concern for the Rams, and I don't think this is breaking any news, but you've got somebody that was always taking doubles and sometimes triples, often times triples in the middle of that defense. That isn't going to free up the rest of the d So that is the only question. And they lost their defensive coordinat that don't get Atlanta.
Yeah, yeah, So we'll see how it goes for the Rams. But I do think that if look, there's an outside chance they win that division. I don't think it's a crazy talking point. You're on the under for the Niners. Things could go really poorly for the Niners. They're dealing with injuries, they're dealing with drama. There's a lot of pressure on them. Feels like the Rams can be kind of free and loose to start the year.
I'm with you, what's next?
The next one we will.
Go to an MVP and that is Jared goff I mentioned when you were talking about your win totals. I couldn't get down on the Lions at ten to one. It's just such a short number for franchise. That always lets you down. However, you talked about the not having to deal with the outdoor games. Well, that's been Wood's done. Jared Goff in year after year, the small hands, the cold weather. He's going to get to play indoors. He kept his offensive coordinator, the offense is established. They're probably going to be better because Jamison Williams is going to take the top end off of things and be a burner for them this year. I just think when you account for this could be the best team in all football. They're probably the best team in the NFC. You don't have to deal with the elements, and Jared Goff has everything around him working in his favor. You have to take the shot at twenty five to one for MVP.
Tremendous point about Goff and his struggles outdoors. They're playing three outdoor games this year. That's a good point. Jared Goff and MVP in the same sense. Kind of got me to chuckle. But it's worth a shot there, big guys.
It's Ben Johnson's Award, then Ben Johnson wins the award.
Yeah.
True, there are a lot of ways you can fade the New England Patriots.
You go get the Vson NFL Betting Guide, you will see that the entire staff is looking for ways to fade this team. I just debated getting down on them at twenty to one to go zh to seventeen this year, and if the.
Vison staff handing out more Patriot fades than your barber.
Where was he on January sixth?
I have them to be the last winless team at plus four to seventy five. This team won four games a year ago. They're actually worse than a four win team right now. Player for player, They're underdogs in every single game right now in twenty twenty four. The spread isn't less than a field goal until Week seventeen, when they face the Chargers. You look at Jacoby Brissett. This is a guy who hasn't won a road game since Week one.
Of twenty twenty two. New England starts three of four on the road.
They've got the Bengals, the Jets, and the Niners in that mix. The one thing that can mess up this entire bet is Week two hosting Seattle. But I think the Seahawks are gonna be awesome. I think the Seahawks are a playoff team. I think they're a dangerous team. I think there'd be a way more balanced team with Mike McDonald at the helm. So then you start looking at the schedule. Where does the win come for the New England Patriots. I don't know, it's maybe Week seven, week eight when they have Tennessee.
But realistically, this.
Is a team that could be losing deep into the twenty twenty four campaign.
Like everything so far, Yeah, it's gonna be interesting for the first time in a long time in a Seattle game without Carol chomping that gum with a confused look on his face, and it's ending like, you know, he's in the mix.
And spin zoning anything bad that happens as if it was a positive.
It's okay, dude, you can admit things didn't go right.
I like how he took on an advisory role with the front office and how he's like literally working in another state.
He's teaching at USC I believe.
Yeah, so dual jobs for a seventy anyway, but we call.
That a hybrid roll Patrick and it's the future. Don't knock it. Let's see the interception market.
I bet on two guys to lead the league in interceptions because I thought the numbers were just too good.
The first one is Josh Allen.
There's more pressure on this guy to throw the ball and be better as a passer than there's ever been before. However, he lost to Von Diggs, right, he lost his number one go to weapon. Now he's mixing in Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir and the rookie Keon Coleman. I don't care what you say. It's a big downgrade. It's a massive downgrade. By the way, Gabe Davis is down in Jackson. Davis offered a lot of big plays for him because of that, because more of the burden on Allen. And this is the guy who has the most interceptions in the NFL sixty six over the last five seasons. He's finished second in interceptions the last two years. I think there is a very good chance he leads the leagues in pickles. So at ten to one, I will back Josh Allen and the other one shout out to Kelly Bidlin because he and I were discussing this on Live Bet Sunday a couple months ago, and we just thought, look, Tennessee's goal is find out if Will Levis is that dude, what comes with that territory. They're gonna let Will Levis sling it, not like he's slaying it during the offseason in those videos. He's gonna sling the ball around and they're gonna let him go out there and take shots down the field, and they're gonna keep sticking with him until he proves one way or the other if he is or isn't the guy. I think because there's a long leash on will Levis at twenty three to one, there is a chance he leads the league in interceptions.
Okay, there you have it. It's like if you if you thought Dunsin was gonna bring up Will lev Is without doing the most simplistic thing, which is mentioned a per like a situation during the offseason, you just haven't been paying attention, Like look one plus one. You know what I mean.
Well, if you're good, if you're gonna bet the NFL, you have to dissect the film. And I can tell you I left no inch of that film unwatched.
Did you talk about Bo Nicks.
Uh, Bo Nicks thirteen to one Offensive Player, the Offensive Rookie of the Year. I just thought it was a it's a good number. I got it a few weeks ago. We'll see if I'm right about that. But remember bad defense, They're gonna be losing a lot. These people vote for awards are gonna look at numbers at the end of the year because Caleb Williams is playing for a playoff potential team, because Jayden Daniel's gonna run the ball a lot. I think bow Knicks's passing numbers could make him in the mix for the Offensive Rookie of the Year, And at thirteen to one, it was worth a shot.
And you're just gonna keep doubling down on Saquon Barkley until he retires.
Well, thirty to one for him.
I also think twenty nine to one on Jonathan Taylor from Indy, I think we're underestimated for Offensive Player of the Year. I think we are underestimating that Jonathan Taylor in that system with Anthony Richardson behind an elite offensive line, the way they don't want Richardson to throw the ball and mess things up, Jonathan Taylor could be on pace for a monster season.
There you have it. Dustin Sweedelson a great job on his NFL futures. He's proud. You can tell he's feeling himself. Josh Applebaum joins us snacks can't wait.
