NFL Week 7 Player Props
Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 7. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with the NFL Week 7 player props podcast from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, delivering four player props each, two anytime touchdown plays and the pod best bet. Munaf arrives after sweeping his player props four and zero last week, and the pod best bet cashed comfortably on Matthew Golden on Sunday Night Football, while Sleepy notes that every pick on this episode also went out to his clients. The quarterback segment begins near the 2 minute mark with Sleepy taking Kyler Murray over 202.5 passing yards, arguing that a Colts pass defense that faced Athan Kaliakmanis, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Ward looks better than it is, while a rested Vikings offense gets Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Mason back with Justin Jefferson expected to play. Around the 4 minute mark Munaf flips to the other side with Daniel Jones to throw an interception at minus 119, pointing to a Brian Flores defense that has intercepted every quarterback it has faced except Malik Willis and to Jones throwing a pick in all three career meetings with Minnesota. The running back props follow at the 7 minute mark, as Sleepy backs Ashton Jeanty over 79.5 rushing plus receiving yards against a Rams run defense ranked seventh worst, with Davante Adams out and Jeanty drawing six or more targets in five of his last six games, and Munaf answers near the 10 minute mark with Bijan Robinson over 26.5 receiving yards against a 49ers defense that allows just under 80 rushing yards per game but gives up 46 receiving yards per game to running backs. Sleepy opens the wide receiver segment at the 13 minute mark with DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard both over 4.5 catches against the Saints in Paris after the duo combined for 27 targets last week in a quick release Aaron Rodgers offense, with a parlay of both available at plus 170. Munaf counters near the 17 minute mark with Malik Nabers over 68.5 receiving yards as JJ McCarthy starts against a Texans secondary allowing 195.5 receiving yards per game, though Sleepy warns a new quarterback could try to do too much against a defense that has finally woken up. At tight end near the 22 minute mark, Sleepy lays chalk on Tucker Kraft to record four or more receptions at minus 190 against a Lions defense that has allowed nine touchdowns and more than 500 yards to the position, and Munaf fades Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards in Seattle, citing a Seahawks unit allowing roughly 25 yards per game to tight ends and an ankle injury that limited Kelce in practice, while Sleepy pushes back that Patrick Mahomes leans on a healthier Kelce in big games. The touchdown props arrive at the 31 minute mark with Sleepy predicting a two and zero week behind Kyren Williams at minus 155 and Munaf taking Jaylen Warren at minus 120 against a Saints defense that has allowed a rushing touchdown to every opposing running back. Sleepy then highlights the Beat JR contest for the NBA season and code TOUCHDOWN20 for 20 dollars off a month of NFL and college football picks at Pregame.com. The episode closes at the 36 minute mark with the pod best bet, now four and two on the season, on Ja’Marr Chase over 78.5 receiving yards against Baltimore, as Chase comes off the Bengals bye with at least 12 targets and 110 yards in each of his last four meetings with the Ravens, a matchup Marlon Humphrey admitted he would rather avoid.

World Series Preview + Best Bets !!
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk World Series betting. Cash That Ticket returns for one more baseball session as Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler deliver the official 2026 World Series preview from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays with series prices, exact game props, MVP odds and their official picks. The episode opens at the 1 minute mark with Dave noting these were the two best teams in their leagues all season, yet few expected either to be here. Near the 2 minute mark Munaf lays out the resumes, with the Brewers winning the NL Central at 103 and 59 under Pat Murphy, posting a league best plus 214 run differential, going 55 and 26 at home and sweeping the Dodgers, while the Rays topped the AL East at 98 and 64 under Kevin Cash with the same home record. DraftKings lists Milwaukee at minus 165 and Tampa Bay at plus 145. At the 4 minute mark Dave frames Game 1 as rest or rust for Jacob Misiorowski, who has not pitched in nearly two weeks, and points to a pricing gap with the Brewers around minus 215 in the first five innings but only minus 161 for the full game despite the better bullpen. Munaf follows near the 6 minute mark with postseason numbers, including a 2.03 staff ERA for Milwaukee and a 2.59 mark for Tampa Bay, and the 7 minute mark brings Dave to a contrarian look at the first five over 3 in Game 1, reasoning that everyone expects a low scoring game. Near the 10 minute mark Munaf calls both managers elite and praises Drew Rasmussen, who has allowed three earned runs in 21 postseason innings with a 1.29 ERA. Dave answers at the 12 minute mark that Game 1 matters more to Milwaukee because of expectations, gives Kevin Cash a slight edge and takes the Rays at plus 145, arguing shortened postseason rotations narrow the gap. At the 14 minute mark Munaf runs through the series menu, with over 5.5 games at minus 180, over 6.5 games at plus 205 and Brewers to win Game 1 and the series at plus 120, and Dave calls Game 2, likely Logan Henderson against Freddy Peralta, the pivotal game, noting Peralta knows the Brewers lineup better than anyone. The MVP market comes up near the 17 minute mark with four of the top five favorites on Milwaukee, Junior Caminero the lone Rays name and Peralta at 40 to 1. Munaf makes his official pick at the 18 minute mark, Brewers to win the World Series at minus 165 plus Brewers to win Game 1 and the series at plus 120, and imagines a scoreless duel decided by the bullpens. Near the 22 minute mark the hosts note neither franchise has won a title, with the Brewers falling to the Cardinals in seven games in 1982, and Dave tabs Chandler Simpson and Jake Bauers as the unexpected heroes who could swing the series, while Munaf adds Christian Yelich chasing his first ring and Yandy Díaz after his big home run in the ALCS clincher. At the 26 minute mark Dave adds Rays plus 1.5 games at minus 145, and Munaf closes with the schedule, the free Beat JR contest for up to 1,000 dollars in Pregame bucks and code REPLAY20 for 20 dollars off 30 days of NFL and college football picks through November 2. Both hosts agree on one final point, this series will not be a sweep. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

CFB Week 8 Predictions + Best Bets !!
Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for College Football Week 8 Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return for Week 8 of the RJ Bell Dream Preview from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, delivering a sharp college football betting breakdown with sides, totals, team totals and two best bets. Dave arrives on a heater with only one best bet loss all season after cashing Air Force last week, while Lonte sits at three and four and is chasing a return to break even and beyond. The episode opens near the 1 minute mark with Tennessee visiting South Carolina, where the Gamecocks are favored by 2.5 as an unranked team against a ranked opponent, a spot Lonte notes has produced 63 wins and 33 losses straight up in his Power 4 sample. Dave points to five straight high scoring meetings and the ability of LaNorris Sellers to put points on the board as reasons to back the Gamecocks and the over, while Lonte also sides with South Carolina on the moneyline but expects a defensive game against a Tennessee unit under Jim Knowles that leads the nation in scoring defense, allows about 159 passing yards per game and has 30 sacks through seven games, with the Vols quarterback situation between Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre still unsettled. Around the 6 minute mark the hosts move to USC at Wisconsin, and both like the Badgers and the under, with Dave citing a Wisconsin defense whose only losses came to UCLA and Notre Dame, a revenge angle from 2024 and a Luke Fickell program that needs this game more, while Lonte highlights a secondary ranked 10th in EPA per pass allowed and suggests grabbing plus 3 where available despite a penalty problem that cost the Badgers more than 100 yards last week. Virginia Tech at Clemson follows near the 11 minute mark, with both hosts on the under in Death Valley as Clemson has failed to top 28 points against any FBS opponent and has thrown just two touchdown passes in six games, while Lonte waits on a 3 to back James Franklin and the Hokies and likes the first half under as well. At the 15 minute mark LSU visits Auburn laying 7, and Lonte sees Lane Kiffin and his Tigers pulling away late for a double digit win, while Dave prefers Auburn plus the points and the under, noting that Alex Golesh and his team already beat Georgia and that LSU still looks overvalued. The strongest agreement comes near the 20 minute mark on Ole Miss plus 3.5 at Texas, as Lonte calls Trinidad Chambliss the best player on the field with Colin Simmons likely out for Texas, and Dave argues the Rebels play with a chip on their shoulder while the Longhorns have fallen from first to 19th in ten days. Dave delivers his best bet at the 24 minute mark, taking Stanford plus 6.5 against NC State on Friday night and fading an ACC team traveling coast to coast, and Lonte answers at the 25 minute mark with Tulsa on the moneyline against Army, pointing to a defensive line that has now seen three straight option style quarterbacks and a series of Army games in which nine of the last ten against FBS teams were decided by four points or fewer. The rapid fire segment covers Indiana at Michigan, where both like the under and Michigan plus 7, a Texas Tech team total over at Cincinnati, Oklahoma and the Mississippi State team total under in the Jeff Lebby Bowl, an Aggies team total under at Alabama, North Dakota State plus 4.5 at New Mexico on a market move Dave calls a math problem, and a Houston team total under at Utah where altitude could take a toll after halftime.

NFL Week 6 Recap + MNF Preview !!
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL Recap for Week 6 and talk MNF Commanders at 49ers. Munaf Manji and Diamond Dave Essler deliver the NFL Week 6 Weekend Rewind on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, recapping every Sunday result, the biggest injury news in the league and the first Week 7 lines worth a look. At 0:56 Dave sets the theme of the weekend, noting that every winner on Sunday also won the turnover battle except New England, which survived the Jets thanks to a big edge in the red zone and on third down. At 1:45 the guys break down the Texans 34 to 31 win over the Jaguars in London, a cash for Dave as a best bet on the RJ Bell Dream Preview, with C.J. Stroud throwing for 312 yards and three touchdowns and Marvin Harrison Jr. clearing his prop in his Houston debut. Dave explains why a loss would have let Jacksonville all but clinch the AFC South in October. At 6:43 Caleb Williams returns and completes his first 12 passes as the Bears beat the Falcons 31 to 23, and Dave says that slowing down Bijan Robinson is the blueprint against Atlanta, a team he is downgrading in a big way. At 11:30 the Browns grind out a 13 to 10 win over a Ravens team playing without Lamar Jackson, and Dave questions why the market still treats Cleveland as a short favorite at Tennessee. At 15:19 the Titans win their first game of the season over the Colts despite gaining just 186 yards, the Colts fire general manager Chris Ballard the next morning, and Dave says the real Daniel Jones has arrived while pinning the problem on coaching rather than the front office. At 21:04 the Saints rally past the Giants 34 to 27 behind a plus three turnover margin, and Dave digs into the Cam Skattebo situation under John Harbaugh and the quarterback questions surrounding J.J. McCarthy and Tyler Shough. At 28:14 the Panthers handle the Eagles 25 to 14, and Munaf delivers the biggest news of the weekend, that Jalen Hurts is out for the season after doctors found multiple blood clots in his lungs, leaving Tanner McKee in charge of a reeling Philadelphia offense. At 32:57 Drake Maye throws three touchdowns in a win over the Jets, though the Patriots head into a short week with injuries to Romeo Doubs, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Morgan Moses and Ben Brown. At 36:09 Aaron Rodgers rallies the Steelers past rookie Jalon Daniels and the Buccaneers in overtime, a win Dave refuses to upgrade. At 39:47 Kenneth Walker III powers the Chiefs past the winless Chargers 22 to 6, and Dave says he would be all over Kansas City at plus 3 in Seattle. At 42:56 the Cardinals stun the Rams 18 to 16 as 12.5 point underdogs, and Dave questions why Los Angeles is still laying points on the road in Las Vegas. At 48:02 Josh Allen and the Bills outlast Kirk Cousins and the Raiders 33 to 30, with Dave still worried about the Buffalo defense. At 51:57 the Packers beat the Cowboys 23 to 13 by forcing two Dak Prescott interceptions, and Dave would take Green Bay plus 3.5 at Detroit with Josh Jacobs due back. At 56:18 Munaf shares the Pregame.com football special, every NFL and college football best bet for 30 days at 195 dollars, reduced to 175 dollars with coupon code DRIVE20 through October 26. At 57:36 the guys preview Monday Night Football between the Commanders and the 49ers, with Dave leaning toward San Francisco in the first half and the Washington team total under, and Munaf leaning toward the full game under 51.5. Dave also flags the Colts team total under next week and likes Carolina at home against Tampa Bay, giving bettors plenty to build a Week 7 card around. Learn more about your ad choices.
