Also on the show is Jonathan Davis, VSiN NHL Betting Analyst & Host of Ice Cap on Sirius XM NHL, as they give a betting preview of today's NHL slate.

The numbers told the story the Alysando's idiots will believe in the analytics.

This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander gons.

Our number two, but numbers game at Vison these sports Betting Network, Visa dot Com, Game Plus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV and of course Serious XM Channel one fifty eight. It's Gil Alexander, It's my buddy, Kelly Bidlin, everybody hanging out. Producer number nine, so much more than a producer. Still to come this hour. Jason Weingarten from Under Cloud of Smoke giving us all his plays. Jonathan Davis on hockey. Maybe we should require a super Bowl thought from everybody, regardless of your sport. I think the Davis hockey. But what's your super Bowl fifty nine? Thought Paul Carr coming up on soccer, But what's your super Bowl fifty nine? Thought?

I think that's fair for that. We ask every guest from now until kickoff, and every guest should give us. Kendrick Clamore choice as well.

No, not not that part. Yeah, that's right. We get tweets and beating the book. Corey Henderson seven to seventy five. He says, uh after Kendrick Lamar sings that song in the cool Mode de Voice three days later go see the low Yeah, but apparently Drake dropped the lawsuits, so we won't have to see the lawyer, is what we're dealing. DJ jams Jam, he is disagreeing with Jonathan Montobel about the halftime show, says All the Stars will be played in the middle of the show when they bring sizz Out on stage. Definitely not the first song played. Oh, and I think they'll play Not Like Us at least three times, maybe only for ten seconds each. But it's going down. Oh, I completely agree. Not Like Us. It's absolutely being played. I think it's worth a bet first, but it's it could be the last two, it could be the last song played as well instead maybe, but it's going to have a prominent place in the show. You cannot avoid it. Kelly's nodding, of course, he's like, you know the numbers guys regarding Fezik in his robotic mind. My uncle responding to my aunt's question of why won't you answer your phone? This phone's route going calls only. Yeah, that's kind that's kind of it. James Sott, thanks Kelly, Because when country club and Music starts, I got to get up and dance in my Apple watch. Thanks we for standing up. Eh, there you go. And we're just trying to make America healthier. That's what we're doing. That's right, That's what Country Club is all about, Tennis, golf, not secondary you know what, more.

Than America, Gil because I think you can watch YouTube TV anywhere.

That's true. You can't definitely go to vson dot comedy and we certainly know that. To Canada, we are we are Ontario. We are large in Ontario, big stars in Regina. Love you Toronto. What you know about Regina Saskatchewan? Man r Okay, I thought you were like to get name in streets in Toronto, like I'll meet you on the corner of Spadina and something else.

You remember our Saskatoon Regina conversations last week?

Yeah, that's right. And by the way, he did begin that with it, or he did a great tweet. Ladies and gentlemen, Let's talk some soccer with a man who just moves the chains every time he's on the show. Quietly comes on, He's like, oh, here's three soccer picks. You guys might enjoy these. It's Paul Carr. Everybody from true media sports and of course the host of the Expected Value podcast. He joined his courtesy of the Progressive guest line. By the way, I never mentioned it, but his Twitter is Paul Carr cleverly c a r R. Which is awesome to be able to just grab your name on Twitter. And of course he has the Ringer for every once in a while. Now you're doing a Ringer gambling thing. Is it regular or is it only a big events?

Pretty much every Monday night we record a Ringer soccer.

Show every Monday night.

Okay, yeah, so we put our Champions League big preview up Monday night Tuesday morning. So you want the long form version of these thoughts and some other picks, then you can tune in there.

There you go. It's a great podcall. You love it.

I think I brought up last time for the soccer hardos Man. All I know was above my head, but it was a great conversation.

The thing about Paul is Paul is so polite that I'm on here. I'm always talking about true media networks. I'm always talking about the Expected Value podcast, but I rarely bring up the ring that the fact that he's doing this Ringer Soccer gambling podcast, and that's on me, man, that's on me every week. Check it out, right. Speaking of the Champions League, which I don't know if I've spoke of before, but let me just say, speaking of can you explain the format, Let's just start there the for the average American sports fan.

And I know we do this lot, but it's even more important this year because they've changed the format of the tournament again. It's basically like playing the INTABA tournament at the same time as the regular season, where all these clubs are from different countries and leagues in Europe and take the top few and throw them into Champions League. Historically, last twenty plus years, there have been thirty two teams, eight groups of four. You play the group stage in the September through December, and you're in the knockout stage in February. This year they expanded to thirty six teams in one big group. They call it the league phase. So today we're getting eighteen simultaneous games. Ye man, trying to track who's where in the standings, Like I might just stare at a live standings table all day the game, I watched the team little know, yeah, down up down.

Paul, Are they doing that? What's like the red Zone ripoff show they do?

Yeah, GOS has a paramount or CBS has a Golazo show they call it.

That's the way to check out.

We run through all of them. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be easier than trying to find games that matter.

So this is a monster than Global Soccer Day right.

Here, I think. So they've never done it like this before. Yeah, we'll see. But what's at stake? So again, thirty six team table or standings. The top eight will get a bye to the round of sixteen, and I believe only two have clinched a top eight spot, so technically there's six upper grabs. If you finish between ninth and twenty fourth, then you advance to essentially the round of thirty two or the playoff round, and then the bottom eight are eliminated. So there's really not much difference between ninth and twenty fourth. I mean, they're seeding things, but I don't think anyone's going to worry about those too much. But if you can get in the top eight, you get a bye. You know, it's essentially the one seed in the NFL, which is obviously huge. So that's where it could get wild with some teams trying to get in that top eight and goal difference is your first tiebreaker, So oh man, there's gonna be some there's some weird lines out there because teams are so incentivized to win by a lot of goals today.

Okay, so this, yeah, this creates all kinds of different layers of handicapping. Then this is pretty interesting. By the way, Liverpool remains the short shot to win the Champions League at plus four fifty Real Madrid and Arsenal both at six to one, followed closely by butifed on at plus six fifty Bayern Munich the only other one in single digits. You think that's all properly priced, by.

The way, Yeah, yeah, that's about right. And Liverpool is a good example of weird price today because they've clinched the top two, they're going to advance. They're playing PSV and normally Liverpool would be a decent favorite here, but PSV on the three way is favored at plus one twenty five or so because they technically haven't advanced, and they even have an outside shot at top eight, but realistically they're just trying to get through so win's pretty important for PSV and Liverpool. You know, we haven't seen lineups obviously, but I wouldn't expect they would play all their starters in this one.

PSV iinoven out of the Netherlands. That's right, Kelly, Wow, you know this guy, this guy, you can go home. You're done, get done, right, bring me in for European soak. You've done all you could do. It's awesome. There's also you were also mentioning off air, and I guess you do have a play in this. So let's start with this that when it comes to Stuttgart and PSG, that they are incentivized.

For mostly to both of them to draw in a way. So in twenty fourth and twenty second place and again the top twenty four advance either goes through with a win, PSG definitively goes through with a draw. Stute Gart may go through with a draw, they do need some other results to go their way. So there's a world where that they kicking around the ball for the last half hour of this game or something. I a Euros last year I think it was Romania Slovakia where a draw would send them both through and they both scored in like the first half hour, and then it was kind of like, ah, yeah, we're good. So it's not for sure that they would do this. But you look, the draw price is plus one thirty or so, which is a super ridiculous.

Yeah.

Usually you're rarely below plus two hundred and usually close to plus three hundred.

Okay, but you still went over two and a half on this. Explain that I did.

I can't like this would normally be priced over two and a half, would be at least minus two hundred or so your default over underline would be three three and a half for this game. I just don't I'm not totally convinced that they'll kick it around at least the first half or so. PSG very potent offense, Stutgart not a super stringent defense, so I think we'd get some goals early. You know, PSG I could get through with a loss, but probably not. I just think, you know, to two very in play two to one, you know, if they just decide they're not gonna bother it, because again, if Stutgart wins, they're definitively through, so they have some incentive to you know, you win. You don't have to worry about anything else. Uh PSG again probably through or through with a draw. But I just think that price, that even money over two and a half is just too juicy or not juicy in this case to pass up.

Okay, you were also mentioning off air by Aaron is like a minus a million against Slovon Bratislava as well.

Slavon Bradislava's eliminated Byron has to win by a lot and probably get a lot of help to get top eight. But there's a chance so their line. I've seen it as high as like minus thirty thousand to win this game. It was off the board a good chunk of yesterday. Just some wild stuff. The default spread was like minus four and a half in this one, So some wild lines as a result of the incentives here.

Okay, back to the official picks though. Should guard PSG over two and a half goals it even money for Paul, then you like it upset here or no, no, no upset you're taking the goal line here.

See Okay, I've been fade in man City all year fairly successfully Club Bruges plus one and a half. Now I played this yesterday at plus one seventy. This morning, I saw it like plus one thirty five ish, which I can't really recommend below plus one fifty. But Bruges has often been a Champions League dormat not as much this year. They beat Askeda Villa, they beat Sporting, They've been competitive against uvent Ac Milan in the game they lost three to one but had a red card. Even Dortmund they lost three mil but it wasn't that much of a route. So Club Bruges they need a draw to go through. They would obviously go through with a win as well, and they could even get through with a one goal loss depending on how the games go. Manchester City has to win, so they're obviously incentivized to go for it as they can. But yeah, this could easily be a man City to to one type of game, and they could both shut it down in the last twenty minutes because City would have to win and Bruges might be through with a one goal loss. So I like plus one and a half at plus money, and I think that's why the prices dropped so much in the last twenty four hours, all.

Right, and then also over three and a half goals in the Barcelona Atalanta game.

I have some very sophisticated analysis here it is. Did you see the Benfico Barcelona game last week?

We did?

We did, we did.

That's pretty much it. Barcelona doesn't have much to play for. They've clinched the top eight spot, but Atalanta is in seventh and probably has to win to stay in the top eight. So Barcelona again maybe the best attack in the world, terrible defense Hotslanta is more an open team as well. They got a couple injuries that are out, but it shouldn't matter because I think they're going to go for us. There's just going to be goals here. One word or the other doesn't really matter who Barcelona starts that they decide to arrest people, They've got enough attacking talent on the bench to still put in a couple of goals. So over three and a half minus one twenty.

So where should we ladder up to Paul? About six and a half today?

Like over over eight and a half at plus sixty five hundred that that sounds good?

Yeah, stut guard PSG two to two, final scores twelve to one, Super Bowl fifty nine.

Who you got ball?

Hit it?

Chiefs? I mean Kansas, but don't pick the Chiefs, then they kick me out.

Is that how that works? A steam yet?

Know that?

Though you're right, I feel a little awkward having this conversation without Mark Way Again, Mark.

Mark, we need to get a little analytical baseball ride on it, ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if you know this, but a special Numbers game investigation tells us that we are not quite down the stretch of the hockey season, but we are deep into it. And it's been a while since we brought Jay con to talk hockey with us because of football, But Jonathan Davi is true to the task. He is our visa NHL betting analyst, host of ice cap on series XMNHL. You can follow him on Twitter at West Coast HKY, Get That Hockey, West Coast Hky. He joins is now Curtis the Progressive guest line. How you doing, Jonathan, I'm doing great, boys.

How are you doing?

Doing very well? We have a couple of things we got to get out of the way before we get your picks. One super Bowl fifty nine and you might be a hockey guy, but you have a thought on Super Bowl fifty nine.

Not anymore. After my Bills got knocked down.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that.

You know, growing up in Toronto, you know that was you know that that was our team. That was my team, drove down to Denbridge Stadium all the time. Yeah, very depressing.

Okay. The other question I have is a very is a very DC oriented, very selfishly DC oriented where I grew up question, which is the Washington Capitals look like they could win the President's Cup. Winnipeg Jets of Washington with the most points in the NHL at this point in the season. Both have seventy three. I believe it is. It never goes well when the Caps win the President's Cup. Well, probably doesn't go well for a lot of teams here when they win the President's Cup, at least in terms of winning the Stanley Cup. Do you view that with Washington and Winnipeg this year as well?

Oh, for them to win the President's Trophy.

No, to win the President's Trophy, but do you view them as none, as not real your top contenders to win it all? Though?

Well, I don't think you can dismiss but Washington is done.

I mean, you know, they've got the Coach of the Year in my opinion, and unfortunately, the odds right now are just you know, you can't bet on me even to win Coach of the Year.

But definitely legit candidates.

You know, in the case of the Winnipeg Jets, you know, their goalie Connor Hellibuck, who's.

A legit MVP candidate, has had back to back horrible playoffs.

So until we see something where he can you know, get his team at least through round one, I'm going to wait and see mode with the Winnipeg Jets.

Okay, you have a lot of picks tonight three, and they're focused in on three games, the first of which is the Flyers of the Devils. The Devils are big favorites. Minus won ninety favorites in this game, but you have figured out a creative way to bet this.

Well, it's the third time in eleven days that these two teams will meet.

They played they played two nights ago and the Flyers won that game four to two.

They won the first meeting three to one, but Minus won ninety.

You know, if you're going to play a side in this one, it has to be Philadelphia. New Jersey just doesn't as good as New Jersey has the potential to be. They're not good enough to be minus one ninety. They're not good enough to be minus one ninety. Now that Jacob Marx, from their starting goalie, is out for six weeks and Jake Allen is now taking.

Over as the number one goalie. Allen's lost his last seven starts.

He's given up at least three goals in e or the opposition to score at least three goals in those seven losses. So for me, my big play in that game, I would play the Flyers team total over two and a half. I did that on Tuesday. It's rather cheap at minus a dollar fifteen. So I really like that.

And then you.

Know, like baseball, like when you guys get baseball starting pitchers, it's a big deal, right, Like you're basing a lot of it on who's starting.

Would that be a fair assumption, of course?

Yeah.

So in hockey for.

Me, you know, until you know who the starting goalie is, like that takes a lot into account, account into the line, and it takes a big account for me into player profs. So Dougie Hamilton of the New Jersey Devils is not a big scoring threat, but he seems to be a big scoring threat when he faces Samuel Erson, the Flyers goalie.

He scored in both games this year. He's got three goals in three games against Erson.

I played him on Tuesday at plus six hundred. The books are catching on. He's at plus five point fifty to score a goal. I'm good for that at a quarter unit anytime I play, at any time goal it's.

Small a quarter unit for me.

And then Owen Tippett of the Flyers, He's got three goals in four games against Jay Gallen, the Devil's projected starting goalie. You can get him at about plus two to sixty to score a goal like him as well in this game quarter unit Owen Tippett anytime goal.

All right, Flyers team total over two and a half two units on that, but then less than a unit. Let's say on Dougie Hamilton anytime goal, Owen Tippett anytime goal as well. The Flyers right now on the outside looking in of the playoff picture with a little less than half a season remaining in the hockey's regular season. Kings at Panthers, let's go to that one tonight Panthers minus won sixty favorites. What are you doing with this?

All right?

Another game where it's important to know who the starting goalie is, especially in the case of the Florida Panthers. Spencer Knight is projected to be the starter. He faced La the last time that these two teams have met. He's on a run, on a first period run in his games, the under his cash in sixth straight. Prior to the Vegas game on Sunday night, he had five straight games that the first period ended zero zero.

So I'm going to attack it tackles two ways.

I'm going to play the under one and a half goals in the first period minus one point fifteen for two units, but I'll play an exact score zero zero at the end of one. Get that at plus three fifty for a quarter unit, and then Adrian Kempe of the La Kings.

The Kings can't score goals, but Adrian camp Bay canademy.

I think the Kings have scored two goals or less in nine of their last ten games. Kempe's got a goal, I believe in eight of the King's last eleven games. You get him at plus two hundred to score Baal. I'll take my chances with Kempe at a quarter unit play to score goal tonight.

Wow. I love these. Okay, all these again visa dot com slash picks for subscribers. If you miss him on the show, let's review that Jonathan's playing first period under one and a half goals. That's his biggest bet of the trio here. But then a quarter unit each on first period exact score zero zero, Kelly, Can I interest you in that at plus three fifty and then a quarter unit on Adrian Kempe anytime goal in this game at two to one. All right, let's go to Nashville Vancouver the Canucks at the Preeds tonight. Preed's a minus one forty favorite. How are we betting this?

I'm going to stay away from both sides.

I mean, the Canucks have put together back to back wins for the first time in about two and a half months. They've only won three in a row once this year, and that was when they had a four game win streak back in October.

Nashville comes home after a three road trip they had.

They finished with a loss on the road trip, but they did win their five games prior. They've beaten the Canucks twice. They've beaten their former goalie Kevin Lankett in twice. I still don't trust the Predators as a favorite. I'm not willing to lay a dollar forty. It's not a big price for you know, at home. But what I am willing to wager on is Steven Stamkos to the Predators, whose eyes light up.

Like you've never seen like.

I mean, he gets so excited when he faces the Canucks and when he faces Lankt And he's got five goals in six games against Lancoln and he speed him three times this year. He's got nineteen goals in twenty two games against the Canucks.

We'll play him for a quarter unit.

You can get him to score goal tonight at about plus one seventy. And then Jonathan Marciasto, who plays on the same line as Stam cooast. He's had a pair of assystem in the two games against Vancouver, got fifteen assists in twenty four career games against the Canucks. You can get him at plus one twenty six just to get an assists tonight.

I'll play both of them for a quarter.

Unit, all right, Stamp cost anytime goal plus one seventy for a quarter unit. Jonathan Marsh so over half an assist plus plus one twenty six. Love shop around for your price of quarter unit in this game Preds against the Canucks. Would you have expected more? Obviously, stamcos a lightning grade. Marsh saw a golden Knight's grade both on the Predators. Now, would you have expected a better half season plus from the Predators with these acquisitions?

Well, I bet them to win the Stanley Cup at about forty to one back in June and win the conference at about twenty two to one. So yeah, but I think that you know what we're seeing is is just two guys that at their age, you know, are much better when they've got the man advantage than when the.

Teams aready even strength. It just hasn't worked in Nashville. They just don't.

Have They've been weak down the middle, and they can't get those guys to the pockets as much as they did, you know, both in Vegas and in Tampa.

So it's been very disappointing. Absolutely, you know.

As they say, the editor won the off season, but they're sure a losing the regular season.

Yeah, well, we can say that about a bunch of teams and a bunch of sports through the years. I'm thinking about my Washington football team for so many years in the early part of this century. Jonathan, always a pleasure man. Appreciate you coming on anytime.

The article will be up at about ten am Pacific.

Just want to wait for starting goalie.

Confirmations, all right, so about ninety minutes from now at vsin dot com. Check out Jonathan's work on the NHL. Jonathan comes to us once again courtesy the Progressive guest line at West Coast HKY for Jonathan on Twitter. How about some jacent Weingarten on the other.

Side, feel it.

I just came up with it. It's a good way to say it, though. Yeah, I have a question for you. Sure. So I finally got a chance to watch more than ten seconds of the old TGL the other night in the ESPN. Okay, Tomorrow's Golf League. By the way, for those scoring at home, that's what it stands for you.

You know what I you know what I thought it was for like months.

It was just the Golf League. Oh, I thought you were say Tiger something. Yeah, No, I just thought it was the Golf leag It is the brainchild of Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy. Correct, and it is. Again it's it's it's a simulator, right, It's like in his indoor golf although there are greens and they're all and there are bunkers.

So yeah, you start your your drive and then approach shot if it's further than fifty yards out or hit into a simulator screen and then they go over. It's all in an indoor arena, and then they literally walk over to a physical green and around the green complex and the green can rotate, it rotates, undulations can change yes on the green. It's very fascinating technology.

Two thousand people in attendance, it's indoors, it's in Florida, and it's very made for TV. It's confined to two hours. And you know, all we care about is can you bet on this stuff? And your answer, sir is an emphatic You're done with it? No?

Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm done with it, at least for now. I mean, I look, it's it's a new lea. They're still beginning. Could I learn some things along the way that might change my mind? Sure, but I'm going to put a pause on it for right now. I thought it was very interesting when it started that just the turf that they're chipping off of, and I'm like, there's some guys that are gonna figure this out a little quicker than others, So I thought there could be an edge. But there's just simple little things that I know. I know, I've got a little hate on Twitter for this couple of times, but like Bill Billy Orscheld made a joke the other week, it started with a couple back to back blowouts on TGL and Billy Horsha kind of made a joke about how the producers were asking them to keep it close, and like, as much of a joke or not joke as that might be for better, I think that's enough for me to say, Okay, there's enough percentage of a chance that something's going on here that this is not worth investing my money. And you know, the last match did go to overtime for the first time.

By the way, Tiger even said afterwards, He's like, I'm just glad one of these was close. He said it out loud. He also you mentioned the previous time he was on because Tiger is part or you know, there's what are there six teams, uh, six teams of four players each three are actually competing, and then there's an alternate like Steph Curry is part ownership of the San Francisco one, the Williams sisters part ownership of the LA one, so on and so forth. But Tiger participates in in on one of the teams. And the previous time you were saying, he hits a drive in the simulator and he says out loud, I can't hit at that flies, Yeah.

He flies over the green and he's just like I can't hit a ball that far. And and our good friend Jason Wingard and shared a video with me. Yeah, I mean this is you know, again, what's the background of this guy, and you know, all research that needs to be done, But it's a guy going through the different golf simulators that are out there basically points out that they're using about the fourth fifth best one just because Tiger has involvement with the company.

So like all of this, I think from.

A betting standpoint, becomes concerning to me if only we.

Had Jason Winingarten here to give his opinion, what do you know we do Jason Winegard and curtis the progressive guest line. You can vollow him on Twitter at spread Apedia comes to us from under a cloud of smoke. How you doing, Jason?

Pretty good?

Good morning guys. How's it going.

It's going great? You Buell, you're willing to bet on all kinds of things. Is this something you had been on?

I bet on I think the second the second week either, I think it was either the first or the second week. And I noticed the same thing Kelly noticed with Tiger Woods going over the green and not hitting his shots the way he normally would, And yeah, I lost my one hundred bucks that week, and I said, I don't think I'm gonna tune in again.

And I didn't watch it this last week.

I do kind of follow the discussions about it on Twitter just to hear what people are saying, and yeah, I just think this is a product that's probably not for me. I also thought it was called the Golf League, not Tomorrow's Golf League.

They've done a really bad.

Job even, you know, branding it and explaining what TGL even means. But they're not going to give up on this. They put a lot of money into it, so we're gonna get a full season out of this, and I think it actually will improve. I think the product will proof, but it's just not it's not that interesting to me. It's, well, it's Monday night filler program and when there's no football.

Yeah, it makes perfect sense for the players. I mean, let me, we we come at it from a betting perspective. But for the players, this is awesome because it's kind of their reward for not going to Live. Kind of feeling too, it's that you guys didn't take the money for Live, what about this awesome thing? You can earn extra money from and not have to go anywhere from. So from a player's perspective, I totally get it, Like good for them, and it's just as an entertainment product.

Yeah, I think there's a certain level of entertainment to it. But if you're a big golf fan and like you want to hear, we always we always enjoy at least a little bit when these guys are miked up in any sport, right, So it's from that perspective, it's it's entertaining. It's just I think, you know, we said this yesterday, right if you if you know what's a made for television product.

To start with, you gotta be a little weary.

About the betting implications of that. Why did John Rohm pull out? He's the one guy. It's supposed to be six teams of four, there's twenty three he pulled out.

I'm not actually sure. Yeah, okay. He also still has not despite the rumors, has never gone over to live despite the rumors that are out there that he won day might Jason super BOWLT what are we betting?

You know, I haven't I haven't had a you know, I haven't had a need to rush down and bet this this line. Yet, you know, with with having another whole week and and all the props and everything, but I'm gonna have a hard time not betting Kansas City. I mean, you know that, what's the what's the sort of explanation.

For the Eagles here? You get two weeks to prepare, they're healthy.

Maybe I just think you're gonna give me Kansas City minus one and a half by game day. That's probably where my money is gonna be. I don't think I'm gonna change my mind in the next week. But I don't want to say I'm disappointed with this matchup because Super Bowl it's gonna be a great game. But of all the matchups, this was the one I wanted the least.

Why would you say that? Why do you for what reason?

I just I don't know. I don't I don't want to say I don't care.

I just I wanted I wanted the Rams, I wanted the Packers, I wanted the Ravens, I wanted the Bills. I was just more interested in seeing any of those teams in the Super Bowl. Instead, we're getting, you know, Kansas City Eagles rematching. Hey, good for them, They're gonna go for the three feet. I think that's a really cool thing and a really cool story. No, you know, nothing against them. If they they pulled off, they're gonna be one of the greatest teams of all time. I'm just not super excited. I know it'll end up being a great game. I'm a little interested, you know, I've been watching the playoffs like everyone else has.

I thought the scoring for.

The the championship games was abnormally high, like, and I want to go back and look, was it something that the refs were calling or was it you know, like because we've seen this in playoffs stuff where where the rules kind of change from from one year to the next, and it's you know, they want they want scoring, So kind of thinking this is gonna be a high score in Super Bowl this year.

Yeah, I mean the the NFC game was thirty four to twenty three before it then got out of hand with oh, let's just go for fourth down here in our own territory kind of thing. So even before that it was still high scoring. And then the AFC, I mean, look, you can't get the Chiefs off the field either that easily. And the Josh Allen is Josh Allen, I mean those were the nature of these teams. I don't know. We were just talking earlier. How in the Vison betting guide Adam Burke, who puts it together it's a super Bowl betting GUYE was talking about how a lot of visent hosts most are on the over here, which again love everyone including you know at this desk, liking the over, but whenever that happens, it worries me. Right, okay, everybody's fada complee that it's going to be an over Maybe it won't be, you know how that goes total set at forty nine and a half. By the way, is as Jason was going through all the teams, He's like, I would rather see the Rams and the Packers that he's like the Jaguars and the Panthers. I'm like, waiting, where is it? And skins fair Again, he never got around to it.

I agree with Jason though he gets a great matchup. I guess gonna be a great game. I think it's fair to have chiefs fatigue at this point like it is.

But I also don't understand the sort of chiefs because because the connotation of fatigue is you're sick of them. Uh, and you're and you just want them to go away. I just don't see how people can't appreciate this, that's right.

I don't come from a from a malicious or hate standpoint. It's just I'm a little tired and it's already a matchup we've seen before.

Yeah, the same way I felt about the Patriots with Tom Brady. It was probably because I frequently embedding against them and betting on them. They want them to lose sometimes it's expensive every time the chief win it I need I need them to lose every once in a while.

Before you go, is there is there an exotic that you usually bet national anthem halftime anything like that.

But I will remind everybody last night was the end of the Mexican Pacific League. The winner baseball leagues are widening down. We got the Series Kreeba starting I think on Friday, and because it's being played in Mexicali this year, I don't think Cuba was able to get visas.

So they're bringing a team from Japan like a not not like an All Star roster, but like a Winter League All Star roster.

So it'll be interesting to see the Japanese team here maybe we'll talk about it on Friday, but I'm pretty excited for.

The series by Let's do that little.

Siri MLB network in English.

So yeah, let's talk about that, Okay, Syriah Krebe preview or or fix from Jason on Friday. Thank you, Jason appreciated.

Pleasure attacked against Friday.

Coming back on a numbers game and recent these sports betting.

Networks numbers game on the Sports Betting Network.

Back on a numbers game live from Circles or Casino downtown Las Vegas. Kill Alexander Kelly Bedlet producer number nine, so much more than a producer, which reason us to our best bets of the day courtesy of g Bank, the official bank of v Sin. We do it every show, not only us, but every show on the network, recapping all the bets during that show from hosts and guests alike in every sport. Once again, I'm on the Chiefs.

I bet it immediately Sunday Night, this past Sunday Night, Chiefs minus one and a half versus of the Eagles.

Yeah, it could move, could move against me. I don't care. Seventeen straight one score one possession wins in a row for the Kansas City Chiefs seventeen in row, twelve of them this year. Unless you believe the Eagles are blowing out the Chiefs, which I don't, that's enough for me. And there's all kinds of Patrick Mahomes stats beyond that that are just one more amazing than the previous. But that right there is a great catch all seventeen one score wins in a row. Do you think we will ever see that again? I don't know that we will.

That's a great question. I haven't asked it that way before.

It's an entire regular season of doing that. Probably, I mean probably not. I want to say, imagine if you every every one of your seventeen games ended that way. Two in tennis this morning as well. One on the lady side. These are indoor hard courts. This is in uh In, Lynn's Austria, Lynn's Austria. Am I gonna allow Austria? Am I gonna laugh at the gyms again? Oh? You are gonna die at some of these, like the one in Singapore. It's like playing in somebody's basement.

Well, it's really nice if the do have donated the gym from Hoosiers over to Europe for them to play tennis.

Rebecca sarram Cova. Plus one is the play over Anastasia Potapova. And then on the men's side in Montpellier, France, Dominic kept for plus one oh six against Alexander Publick, who hates himself some clay, but still likes himself some hard courts. Indoor heards not as much, but he's not in top form, so we're fading him and then you.

Sir, yeah, NBA A little I did a little addition today, just one kind of unit size here, just for people at home, just to give a little perspective of how I'm attacking each one of these clippers a little bit bigger bet for me. So the two units on that one, one unit on these other two. In the NBA tonight, Clippers laying three, that number has gone up a little bit. I think at four you can still grab though I would still like it at four. This is against San Antonio. You asked JVT earlier about the traveling with San Antoni Indiana. Not exactly a factor for me in this game. This is just if there's anything to that, then great it goes in my favor. This is just more about the two teams that are facing off the Clippers six and three in their last nine plus thirteen point seven net rating in non garbage time minutes that's over at cleaningglass dot com. That is the second best in the NBA during that time, the best defense in the NBA San Antonio meanwhile two and four with the fourth worst net rating Victor Wembinyama. Always a problem, but Zubat's one of the most underrated defenders the NBA, probably at center for the Clips, so went with them. Went with the Pelicans catching points at home against the Mavericks team that is a little undermanned right now, that numbers come down to it's one and a half right now, probably still be a play, but I'd go even lighter on that. And then Timberwolves, I'm joining GVT. This was not this line wasn't up on the openers when I was looking at him last night Timberwolves at Phoenix, as he pointed out, Durant questionable with a thumb, and we haven't seen Durant miss a game in a while, I believe, so I think there's a good chance he misses that anyway, misses the game. But my numbers point towards Timberwolves having a little value here anyway, So one unit play on the Wolves, and then my two prop bets so far for the Super Bowl Kareem Hunt over forty two and a half rushing yards, Isaiah Pacheco longest rush under eight and a half yards.

How about how did my Kendrick lamar bettz not make g Bank best bets of the day for God's sakes, not like us? Two to one first song played not like Us and then a flyer on swimming Pool drank thirty three to one. Those are my two. Kendrick le Moors JVT was on earlier. Jonathan Bond Tobel He's on the Bills, excuse me, the Bills, the Bulls part of me Bills fans, Bull team total under bull team total under one hundred and eight and a half tonight in the Association T Wolves money line versus the Suns for JVT, and then Super Bowl fifty nine Super Bowl Licks he's on the Eagles money line versus the Chiefs plus one ten and the Eagles not to convert a fourth down No tullus push for JBT plus five. Fitty, I like that one. That's a fun one, yeah, until you see.

That team lineup and oh, here's my buddy.

But plus five to fifty, I get it, I get it, I get it.

Yep.

Matty Cox from three man weave at three mw underscore CBB, he's on Loyal in Chicago. He only had one play for US today, Kyle Hoops Loyal in Chicago plus seven and a half versus George Mason out of Northern Virginia Loyal to Chicago plus seven and a half for Matty Cox. And then Paul Carr This is what a day of soccer eighteen concurrent games and the Champions League. He is on Stuttgart PSG over two and a half goals, which is an interesting play because again Stuttgart and PSG might be okay with a tie, and when you think tie, you're thinking neil nil or one to one. But he's going over two and a half goals at even money, and Kelly just likes saying shut guard, don't you? Yeah Stuttgart? Yeah, what did I find?

Two to two pays twelve to one if you want to play that exact school?

Okay, Club Bruge plus one and a half goals plus one seventy at Man City is his second play, and then Barcelona Atalanta Barcelona Atalanta over three and a half goals coming off his Barcelona what nine goal outcome the other day, Yeah, five to four outcome. So three plays from Paul Carr g Bank best bets of the day. Oh and for God's sake, the best save the best for last. Jonathan Davis with a bevy of sock of a hockey place that I in the Flyers game. He's on the Flyers team total over two and a half. He's also got Dougie Hamilton anytime goal at six to one and Zer and Tippett anytime goal at plus two sixty. He only has a quarter unit on the anytime goals. Then the King's Panthers game, he's got the first period under one and a half goals. That's his biggest bet of the bunch. Then he also has little plays on the Kings Panthers first period exact scored zero zero at plus three fifty, and he's got a little play on Adrian Kempe anytime goal at two to one in that game as well. And then finally with the Nashville Predators, he's got both a Steven Stampcos anytime goal at plus one seventy and then I think he has it. Yeah, there it is Jonathan Marshasaw over a half an assist in that game as well. Plus one twenty six.

We get tweets at beating the book. This is from Vegas regular Jason doesn't have Dodgers fatigue he says. But Jason, Jason has fatigue for these of this matchup in the super Bowl, but he doesn't have Dodgers of fatigue. Give me a break, he says. And then Brian Moriannon, what I'm hearing from Kelly is the best bet is Zubot's Defensive Player of the Year two hundred and fifty to one. Yeah, not what I said.

Now, I'm just hoping you can slow down wimbin Yama enough, all right, what I mean?

But Brian m just brings up a good point.

Though.

Where do your season long NBA awards place? And?

Oh, man, I got a couple that's a, that's a that's a good one.

I've got a bunch of bad and a couple really good.

You know, they usually start with the good six well, most improved player, which I don't know why, Gil I mean, I feel like I've got a better rate on it than a lot of people. But it's it's whatever reason the award market. I constantly do the best. And so Kate Conneham right now is minus one fifteen. I have a twenty two to one ticket on him. Before the season, Me and you might get in a fight because Norman pal is the only guy like don't have exposure to, and he is right behind him at plus one seventy.

Five, and I have him at what twenty eighteen to one? I want to say, Okay, I don't have to check, and I have Tyler.

Tyler Hero is third right now plus seven fifty Michael Montasano and I have a fifty five to one on him.

So Tyler, he and Tyler Hero, So we're all very well positioned. Yeah, we are well positioned. That's going to be a fun race. Let's say.

I think that's pretty much it. Rookie of the Year has been I haven't made a bet. That market has been all over the place all season, as it should be. When he's out in my seven to fifty to win Defensive Player of the Year, he's gonna win that six Man of the Year. I didn't really get involved in at any point. I would be careful with this one. Peyton Pritchard's and the odds are coming back down. He's at minus one fifty five now. He's been the big favorite for most of the season. DeAndre Hunter Drew brought him up a couple weeks ago as being a guy to look at to bet. Here The only problem is watch how Atlanta handles rotations over their next few games. With Jalen Johnson now being ruled out for the season, you get a little worried about some of these guys getting inserted in the in the starting lineup. They could play themselves out of this award, So be careful with that. One coach of the years. Fascinating because this Atkinson price is coming down. You brought you up, he may U Doka yesterday. He's jumped up there. I big if you're a believer in the Pistons. Bigger staff at eighteen to one is that is a long number. With what he's been able to do with that Detroit team is pretty impressive. If I had to make a bet anywhere right now, that's probably where i'd go. Number plus four to fifty and clutch player, this is the one I'm really.

Excited about because love clutch player. Would I bring this up a week and a half ago? Wasn't even that long ago.

Trey Younger got twenty five to one, he's second the second shot.

Now it's six to one.

Tyrese Maxi is at twelve to one.

I think I got fifteen to one on him. Those two guys leading clutch scoring, and Monisano is going to be very angry that shake. Gil just is not going to win Defenseive Player of the Year, that is your prediction. I think so, Yes, yeah, he is. He is working himself up into a ladder. He's very angry about this because the logic changes from year to year. I get his point right now, it does. Money moves with Stormy bout A Toni and Grace Remington.
