On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a quick thought on the latest in the James Harden Saga in Houston. Suddenly, the plan is to give him 'space' to help him cool down following a tumultuous offseason? Seriously? Just get it over with! The longer the Rockets wait to trade Harden, the worse the offers will get. Plus, DraftKings director of sportsbook operations Johnny Avello swings by to explain why he decided to leave his post as the Wynn in Las Vegas and take his talents to DraftKings, discuss what the future of gambling looks like now that it's become more mainstream and is slowly becoming legalized across the country, the process behind setting the gambling lines, and discuss all of the NFL Week 13 games from a wagering perspective. Later, Jason looks to get back to his winning ways with the NFL Week 13 edition of the Best Bet.
