00:00Summer weekend Curtis, maybe one last summer weekend in the 80s this weekend and a game time, right?
00:07It's gonna be a perfect weekend to go to it. Oh
00:1378 on Sunday and I gotta tell you wiki has ruined my day
00:18Because I am now fully in on Brady. I had told it's just like bringing me right. It's in
00:24It's perfect
00:25Perfect couple when Nicole Kidman is getting the tangerine tonic poured for her and I literally had to run away from the TV
00:32It brought me back to like oh that looks so effing good
00:40I'm traveling this weekend. I need a forecast for Lake Winnipesaukee
00:45Yeah, it's gonna be a little cooler with a very good chance of douchey
00:48Okay, all right
00:52Not do she at all anywhere you go is
00:59People's Lake
01:02Is pretty nice
01:05I would never leave a beach or a waterfront on the ocean for a lake. Call me crazy. I'm not as you I
01:12Don't love lakes. I really prefer pools
01:15Okay, but it was my order would be pool one
01:20Ocean to Ocean to Lake three. I don't like the the muck stuff that is on the bottom of the lake
01:26I'm ocean one. Yeah, I'm with you
01:29That's surprising for you. Yeah, I mean well night you like a clear ocean. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah clear ocean
01:35But I'm not like I
01:38Like that, but just the beach feel is bad beach
01:41Sexist well, I probably make my way over to the Nazwa on
01:46Saturday afternoon beautiful spot up there right on the lake great nachos
01:51So yes, all right time for if you're gonna wager this weekend a little advice from our guy Nick Costos
01:58Who is the host of you better you bet and Odyssey sports betting insider?
02:04insider calls presented by bet MGM check out all the latest lines right now on the bet MGM app and
02:10make sure you listen to you better you bet and get more analysis from Nick and
02:15He is here this morning on a Friday as he always is. Hello, Nick. What's going on guys?
02:20I will say in defense of Greg if I'm going away somewhere. I want it to be as douchey as possible
02:26So I'm fully fully fully support that
02:31Yeah, I mean listen like you work hard man that you deserve to go somewhere douchey
02:35I'm like and spend money and be and be amongst it and a hobnob with the elite
02:39I could not agree more you're right about everything except the spending money part
02:45Soul mates you and I soul mates. Yes, sir. Ah that game last night. We've been talking about all morning. I
02:53To a time for him to
02:56Unfortunately, I think say goodbye
02:58Yeah, I just you know, it turns your stomach when you see him on the ground like think about this
03:02Thinking about this this morning just preparing for my own show today think about how many like we're all big football fans, right?
03:08We've all been watching football forever
03:10How many concussions we see watching football that either we we can identify immediately or like we don't even know what's happening
03:17How many concussions we've seen and then compare and contrast that with how many concussions we've seen where a player goes into like that?
03:25Fencing motion. Yeah, it almost never happens and I watch like every NFL game for 30 years
03:30We've seen it now twice with two into in in two seasons and like to two calendar years
03:36It turned my stomach last night watching it. Um, I
03:39Sincerely and I'm not trying to like people could say call me a baby. What? Oh, it's a football physical game
03:44It's in and also the NFL at some point
03:47I was I you know
03:47we talk a lot about Taylor Swift and the new fans that she's brought to the game like I
03:53They can't they have to look at that and go this is not something
03:57That looks good for the game when people are when the casual fan is watching the game. Yeah, I
04:04it's it's
04:06It's awful. I'm not I'm not this is not a defense of the league the league
04:11Anyone will tell you the league will tell you that they need to do better
04:14Maybe what we'll see is they they'll have like players that have suffered multiple concussions
04:18Maybe force them to wear the new like Guardian helmet that's been debuted this season that a couple players have worn
04:23But look like on a human level just like for you know, it's football's physical game
04:28Like what if that's like a family member? I'm not trying to be hokey
04:30Just like come on like have a little empathy for the guy
04:32Can I just give one betting thought here and just on and obviously like the most important thing is that he's okay
04:38but there is a potential money-making opportunity here off of this and it doesn't mean like you have to identify the right person in
04:44Offensive player of the year right now
04:46But all these markets are open that you can bet Tyree kill is like the is the co-favorite to win this award right now with
04:52Saquon Barkley like Tyree kill can't win like it's over like two two is gonna be out at minimum like
04:59Probably for the rest of the season. I shouldn't say that
05:02I don't know that for a fact, but you would imagine it'll be an extended absence at the very least
05:05Yeah for to a tongue of Iloa Tyree kill can't win
05:09So I would identify the guy that you like in that betting market cuz Tyree's taking up so much win probability
05:14And I think that's actually a betting market to attack today because again the co-favorite has a zero percent chance of winning right now
05:22neck unless the
05:24G-o-a-t walks
05:26through the door
05:27I
05:28Would uh, I would love that if brave Brady came out of the booth and played for the Miami Dolphins
05:32By the way, if that happens like Miami would be one of like the four Super Bowl favorites
05:37Immediately if that happens, all right this listen. Oh
05:42Curtis you see what I'm saying?
05:44What would the problem with that because he played for a team in the division who cares? No, no problem
05:49I just don't I can't I think it's a real thing Wiggy Curtis. I don't know Courtney
05:54I don't think it I wish it would happen. It would be great. That's amazing sports story, but I don't he's not doing it
06:03Why I don't know he's got 375 million reasons, but I don't know he lost all that money
06:08He lost so much money. I guess that he didn't do a roast and embarrassed his family a couple months ago, right?
06:13So, I don't know maybe maybe he does need the money
06:16Which by the way was one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen
06:22And Nick you just said that this would propel Miami to be one of the Super Bowl
06:28You love Staten Island and that was one of the most disgraceful things. You've ever seen Curtis. I'm not from Staten Island
06:33I just live in Staten Island. Yeah, like how would how would you feel you have kids right Curtis?
06:37Do you have kids one but one boy? Yes
06:39yes, I how would how would you feel how would your son feel if you did like a comment like a thing that millions of
06:44People watch and and and the mother of your child was dragged in front of everybody. I would never
06:49Of course you wouldn't right that was just and like Brady's the greatest athlete ever the greatest quarterback ever like who wants to defend that
06:56Horrific. It was pretty good to watch
06:58Well, she did the football stuff was great. I could do without them like dragging like the mother of his children
07:04Nick Nick she did treat him like trash and basically moved on
07:08He didn't lie about my whole thing and was with the jiu-jitsu guy like okay, and she was banging another guy behind his back
07:17Listen this is this is just me like I have a child now no matter how much I could ever like hated my wife or
07:23Ex-wife whatever. I would never air her out publicly because she's the mother of my daughter
07:28Okay, so if you walked in on her and she's doing but naked jiu-jitsu
07:33With the instructor you gonna feel the same way
07:36I mean I would probably be really angry
07:38But but again like your children are the most this is and people can disagree with me, and that's fine like that's great
07:43That's like my really strong opinion football stuff was also awesome Robert Kraft saying like like Tom Brady taking Jimmy Garoppolo's job a second time
07:50Like that was great. I loved it. I could do without the other stuff
07:54this weekend New England Patriots with the opportunity to go to an O and
08:00How are you betting this one? I'm not going to I I was interested in Seattle
08:05But I read something this weekend and wiggy you could speak to this a million times better than me. I was reading about
08:11The game this past weekend and about the Patriots defense
08:14And this is not meant to be a shot at Bill Belichick who's the greatest coach ever the greatest defensive coordinator ever?
08:20But the Patriots for the first time in a long time obviously since Bill's been there are
08:24Starting to do some new stuff on defense and that the Patriots and Gerard Mayo
08:27Borrowing a little bit from what we see Mike McDonald the new coach of the Seahawks like what what he's been doing and he's being
08:33Called like the Sean McVeigh of defense as defense is kind of being revolutionized around the NFL
08:38So I think that the Patriots there's a chance that they're not and that was just a great spot that they caught Cincinnati on
08:44I think there's a chance that this defense might be on to something here. It might be really good
08:48Even without Christian bar more so look if you gave me a hundred bucks and made me bet the game
08:52I'd lay Seattle minus three that would be the bet I'd want to make but I do think that we may be
08:57Seeing the Patriots here the defense be friskier than originally expected if they're running some of these new concepts
09:03I could be way wrong on that, which is why I'm not betting the game. So again, make me bet
09:07I'll take Seattle, but I do think there's a chance. The Patriots will be more interesting this year than we thought so Nick
09:13I know last night you tweeted about the WTF game the wrong team favored game. It's a good gimmick, right?
09:18Yeah, I like it a lot. Actually, that's why I'm bringing it up. So I look at the you can't have it I can
09:24Okay, thank you. No, no can't. Oh darn. Well, he went over last night
09:28Yeah, he needs any help. Well, we would say that WTF and it would not mean wrong team favored, correct?
09:34So I my question for you though is I look at this Rams Cardinals game and I know that the Rams are really banged up
09:40But they held their own against that Lions team took him to overtime and Matthew Stafford looks healthy and good at Cooper Cup looks
09:46Like he could be another triple crown winner again
09:49Like is the wrong team favored in this game with the Cardinals being favored by a point possibly
09:54I don't know if I'm willing to say that here because the Rams Rams right now have
09:57Like so many like so many injuries on the offensive line and the coup was out for at least four games and probably gonna be
10:04More you're right about Cooper Cup. I think he's an interesting choice for offensive play
10:08I mean he's get if we've redrafted fantasy leagues right now Cooper Cups the top five pick and it's not even a question
10:14But the Rams left tackle is suspended like four of their other offensive linemen are hurt to are on IR now
10:20So look if we get to Sunday and Arizona gets bet out a little bit
10:24Let's like Arizona might is two two and a half
10:26I probably bet like the best Rams money line price I could find but I think this will be a game
10:31I'm on the sidelines for a chime. You might be right
10:33I'm just I'm not sure what the offensive line injuries right now for the Rams
10:37Nick when it comes to our survivor pool the wei survivor pool wiggy
10:42Unfortunately did not survive week one. Do I get referred to as like dad moving forward? No
10:47I was really hoping that wasn't gonna come up this week
10:51Yeah, daddy
10:53Anyway
10:55I'm going with the Jags this week
10:59And I want to know how you feel about that. I don't feel good about it for you
11:02No, I so I would bet the Browns in the game plus the points
11:06But before you finalize that pick and I don't have you finalize. Yes. Yeah, it's locked
11:10Yeah, so like they might not have like Myles Garrett didn't practice yesterday
11:13He's obvious the best offensive player in the league maybe so you want to have him and also their second best pass rushers
11:18Darius Smith didn't practice yesterday now like if if both of those guys are gonna play then then yeah
11:24Like I I would like Cleveland here, but actually know that what I'm saying is in supporting you
11:28So both those guys are out then yes, I would like Jacksonville
11:31So I do think Jacksonville is likely to win the game
11:33But if those guys play I would bet the Browns plus three my apologies
11:37Nick so you I'm kind of can you would bet the Browns even after what you shot?
11:42Soughted to Sean Watson like for me at least right now
11:44It feels like the Browns and Panthers are just auto either bet against or avoids. Yeah
11:50Yeah, the Panthers definitely and avoid completely because the roster is horrendous
11:54but the Browns team is actually pretty good and the great thing about sports betting is and like I did a
11:59I did this on my show earlier this week
12:01For as bad as a quarterback can be and as bad as a team can be
12:05There always has to be like Ted DiBiase, right?
12:08Like everybody's got a price like there has to be a price where you would consider playing on that bad
12:13quarterback and on that bad team and for Cleveland if it's gonna be plus three or three and a half and the offensive lineman are
12:19All gonna play because they did not have a healthy offensive line last week against Dallas and the pass versus are all gonna play
12:25Like that's a price where even if Deshaun Watson's a terrible player and a worse human being I would still bet the Browns in the game
12:31I took the Ravens in our survivor pool
12:36I'm likely to win. I think I like the Raiders to keep the game close. I bet Vegas
12:42My concern with the Ravens again, like I think they'll win. I don't think they'll cover
12:47We watched the NFL season opener last Thursday night against the Chiefs. Their offensive line is terrible
12:53Terrible replacing three of five starters from Lamar's MVP season last year. They could not protect Lamar
12:59Running for his life the entire game
13:01It was like a horizontal offense with like an average depth of target of two yards down the field
13:06Which is atrocious and now here comes like Max Crosby and Christian Wilkins
13:10I don't know how they're protecting Lamar in this game. So look Baltimore is better
13:14I think the Ravens will win. I would not feel especially confident in that as a survivor play
13:20And if you if you want to bet no sweats one lock you got one lock for this week
13:26Yeah, I'll take my terrible team give me the the New York football Giants on Sunday to win on the road in Washington
13:32I think Brian D'Abel stinks. I think you should get fat again
13:36You won't fat they ball. I want fat table like I forget I do
13:42Shine you look great. Like is he a good play caller skinny D'Abel? No Zempik would be my answer
13:47Honestly, I'm happy that's still getting laughs because it's like the 30th time. I've told that joke this week. I think it's pretty good
13:53We heard
13:54So look like he's awful. Like the Giants are terrible. Daniel Jones is terrible
13:59They are definitely they're definitely better than the commanders and I love Jaden Daniels. He's great
14:05He's 50 times better than Daniel Jones, but the commander's offensive line is terrible. This is like a sexy Dexy
14:11Thibodeau Brian Burns
14:12I think just up demolished Jaden Daniels in this game and the commander secondary did make Baker Mayfield look last week look like prime Tom Brady
14:20So I think the Giants will go into Washington and win that is a WTF game
14:24It used to be the Washington football team the WFT this weekend WTF wrong team favored Giants win in Washington
14:31Where's Tommy Cutlets?
14:34They want Fat D'Abel and Tommy Cutlets back. He's probably like next door to me here in Staten Island
14:39All right, Nick. You're the best. Thanks, bud. We appreciate it always great
14:43Wishing everyone minimal sweats winning bets the absolute very best of luck
