Oh what’s up everybody and happy Friday welcome to the early Edge we’ve got an amazing Friday show for you as usual before we get to the stars of the show let’s take a look at the recap screen all right more green than x here more green than red we’ll take three out of

Five and we will try to improve on it and I’ll tell you what uh later today at four o’clock you know how we do it on Friday we’ve got the wildcard player props show today at 4 pm Eastern it’s your standard cast of characters of course that’s going to be EC proy and

Dave Richard very much looking forward to that and honestly I I love this chat right now everybody in in a good mood happy Friday pgaa we hit my PGA bet yesterday I know people are waiting for a PGA bet uh today but before we get to

That we got a lot to talk about so you know how we do it on Friday it’s a little bit different so let’s get it started with big pick energy yeah yeah yeah there we go Mike McClure very very active today I gotta be honest when I

Don’t see the newspaper I get a little I get a little sad I want do you not have a newspaper available no newspaper available I can’t use the same one every time so it is a collector’s item from the World Series after all so I don’t

Want to destroy it uh no I’ve got a I got a nice little book here just catching up on a little reading this morning absolutely love it all right well let’s catch up a little bit on some college football Futures listen a lot of news broke uh this week with NFL coaches

And with college coaches we know of course what happened with Nick Sabin uh deciding to leave Alabama and we actually have at Bed MGM some college football futures for next year of course so we haven’t turned the page fully on college football yet chip Patterson uh

Let’s take a look at these odd here is there anything here that intrigues you in any way oh it’s all intriguing are you kidding me we end a season we start going to the next one so no one loves to hear you should take the favorite but

Looking at this board let’s just run down Georgia yes I think they’re going to be stockpiled they’re loaded they’re number one with a bullet Alabama absolutely not I do not want to invest in that especially at that price given the fact that it’s not just a coaching

Change from the greatest coach to ever do it but also a 30-day window where the transfer portal will be open and that talented roster will be poached but then that next name Ohio State loading up in the portal key NFL players that decided not to go to the draft like Ty Williams

Jack sawer Denzel Burke they’re all back so thinking about this you like Georgia yes Alabama no Ohio State no Michigan no excuse me Ohio State yes Michigan no Texas no I just think we got massive Exodus here and then looking down the rest of the list the only one that I

Might get to is Oregon that is because the ducks have not just one but two quarterbacks with power five experience because they got Dylan Gabriel from Oklahoma and the transfer portal and they got Dante Moore from UCLA now Dante Moore didn’t look fantastic but he was

Young he was thrown into the fire the rest of that UCLA offense wasn’t great so the ducks have that you know you’re buying a Futures ticket here in January you need to know that you’re not just one injury away from having it go and I think because of Oregon’s quarterback

Depth when you’re looking down you you get some Georgia you get Ohio State but if you want more value take a look at the Ducks very very interesting uh Mike McClure I’m going to bring you in here we’ve got the odds here courtesy of B MGM uh any value down the board or

Perhaps at the top of the board yeah I mean I think you have to consider Georgia for sure uh you know argument there they could have easily been the national champion this season uh still so yes Georgia definitely reloaded as far as Bama I would wait and see for

Sure uh there’s a lot of moving pieces there going on Old Miss is someone that intrigues me uh mostly because of the expanded playoff format keep in mind it’s going to be easier overall maybe not for everybody in that conference but it’s going to be easier to get into that

Playoff which is really what matters once you get to that point so they kind of have a schedule that’s somewhat similar to what Michigan had this year in that Michigan had two games on the schedule they had to worry about it was Penn State uh and the Ohio State game

That’s kind of the story here for all miss this season they do have to go to LSU and then they play Georgia other than that they will be favored in every single game on the schedule uh so I think that they win one of those two

Games between say they beat ol Miss and then or they beat LSU lose to Georgia there’s a good shot that they’re able to sneak in and then one more bit of a homer pick but further down the board Kansas State 60 to one likely G to be

Looking at a cash out scenario I’ll bet them more once we have odds to make the playoff available their schedule insanely soft they have a stretch where they have five games in a row at home uh in the second half of the Season that week three match up with Arizona’s one

To potentially keep an eye on but their quarterback Avery Johnson the reason will Howard is now going to be at Ohio State when you look at Avery Johnson’s metrics our colleagues at 247 sports do what they call a freaks list he was the first quarterback on this list when you

Look at all of his athletic grading he graded out significantly higher than Jaylen Herz and Lamar Jackson when they were the same age in college here uh just an absolute freak athlete at quarterback for Kansas State very soft schedule overall on that conference W great hair too Avery Johnson’s blonde

Flow is incredible I love that Kansas State pick right there especially just given Big 12 is gonna be nuts I mean see did you hear him say Arizona Arizona Kansas state is a conference game in the Big 12 college football is gonna be crazy to wrap your mind around that’s

Weird by the way uh speaking of blonde locks buckets we’re five minutes into the show I haven’t said hi to you you yet how you doing on this Friday blonde locks I’ve got like half an inch of hair up here right now see but I’ll take the

Compliment I’m doing well today we get to welcome back European football we’ve got German Bundesliga back Italy Seri a France League uh so it’s a good time to be a footy fan I love that and by the way speaking of sports that aren’t maybe quite as conventional as let’s say

College football Danny Brasco like At first I thought this was like shtick I thought it was a bit I thought okay Danny Brasco he’s he’s good at pretty much everything he does including NFL and of course UFC MMA all those things you really are you are super sharp but you have

Become I don’t even know how to say this like a cricketeer handicapper like what is that how you say it like you are hitting these bets it’s crazy yeah man I’ve recently become obsessed with Cricket uh shout out to my buddy for getting me into it and all of a sudden I

Find myself up at 5:00 a.m. watching Australian big bash T20 League formats learning all the live betting Market is insane it’s a lot there a lot of opportunity there actually and it’s been fun learning about a new sport through betting on it sort of unbiased with no preconceived notion so that’s one thing

That’s what I’m doing in my uh aside but office hours today UFC is back NFL playoffs are right around the corner and we got a lot to talk about absolutely uh by the way uh we’ve got the Maestro in the chat we’ve got mckeny Brooks in the

Chat Ben Herer uh and the the regular cast of characters of course big cheesy Bradley Jacob snug the cat in here uh Zack Phelps everybody Mark buckolz how’s Emma doing let us know on that he says I’m waiting for JMU odds to make the college football playoff uh well you’re

Gonna have to wait a little bit longer for that all right uh we have to get to some NBA Marquee matchups uh but before we do that let’s see your message from our [Applause] progress my my my territory welcome to the the end of the all right it’s me and Mike McClaren

We’ll bring bring everybody back in just a couple of minutes but listen Mike it is a big NBA slate today I just want to isolate maybe a few games for us to talk about and let’s just go ahead and start with the Kings at the Sixers Sixers at

Home minus one and a half I don’t believe we’re seeing Joel embiid It’s a 241 and a half point total any takes on this yeah it’s fascinating whenever you have all these conversations without Joel embiid so frequently first of all I want to mention uh he can only miss I believe

Nine more games or eight more games to even be eligible for the MVP awards so something to consider there uh if he does run into what I would deem to be a more serious injury situation uh having said all of that the king’s struggle on the road uh that’s been something that’s

Been an issue for them for quite some time now I think the 76ers are undervalued here as The Slight home Underdog I would make the minus three favorites in this game uh it’s just a a road trip here for the Kings again they start slow on the road I think that

Markets typically overreact when you see a guy like Joel embiid uh not being there he obviously does have an impact I just think it’s slightly overstated here so I will take the Sixers as a home dog by the way these things uh these lines shift pretty fast and we know we we

Don’t always have the injury information Sixers were a one and a half Point favorite this thing flipped to the k Kings minus one and a half so that’s why Mike is referencing the home dog 76ers here all right let’s go speaking of players that are out the Orlando Magic

At the Miami Heat I mean we don’t exactly know Mike and may maybe you do I don’t think we exactly know who’s playing for each of these teams particularly on the heat side but the heat are favored by three and a half points it’s a 221 and a half point total

This one’s at 810 Eastern Standard Time any takes on this one yeah so the Miami Heat are a team that typically have this unique ability to be competitive no matter who they throw out there on the floor uh it’s pretty telling that they’re favored in

This game still it is a home game not a ton of significant travel not the best schedule spot for Orlando but it is not really uh intimidating travel when you’re talking about going from Orlando to Miami I’ve got Jimmy Butler listed doubtful Kyle Lowry doubtful Tyler hero is listed questionable as is Caleb

Martin I expect both of those guys to go uh but on the other side Orlando has been kind of ravaged with injuries a big guy Wendell Carter Jr also listed questionable tonight so for me Orlando’s been a fantastic team they’ve been great against the spread they’re in a rough

Spot with injuries right now so if I I I’m not playing anything here if I had to it actually would be the Miami side as this team is still conditioned to playing uh without their Superstar and Jimmy Butler yeah so that I mean that’s the thing I think I I was surprised by

This three and a half point line too but this isn’t Eric’s folster thing like I I keep saying it’s been years that I’ve been saying I think he’s the best coach in the NBA and I you know listen I don’t know that I’m right about that nobody would actually can actually objectively

Say all right this is the best coach versus some other coach but spola like the way that offense runs I mean they look like they don’t miss a beat when they have uh major issues with injuries so I actually I’m surprised by the line it makes me like the heat even more Mike

I like the heat minus three and a half here at home all right uh the last one we’re going to deal with today Pelicans at the Nuggets nuggets minus eight and a half here’s another game where we’re not 100% sure what’s going on with the Pelicans in terms of who they’re

Pedaling out today it’s a 229 and a half point total this one at 1010 Eastern Standard Time what are you likeing this nuggets are nothing here for mea I think this is a great bounceback spot for them uh you know we we talked about this game the nuggets and the Jazz earlier this

Week we talked about taking the Jazz you know with the points uh Jazz won outright in that game by 13 points nuggets can bounce back in a big way here it is a tough travel spot for the Pelicans they’re in the middle of this road trip we know that guys like Zion

Don’t typically play a ton of those back-to-back sets this one’s at altitude they’ve already got Brandon Ingram listed doubtful Trey Murphy doubtful Zion and CJ McCollum both listed questionable that is essentially the entire uh offensive unit there either already out or potentially out in this

One this is also the front end of a back-to-back another back-to-back set for them they will play tomorrow uh at Dallas so this is a situation where because they’re at altitude because in the middle of the road trip against this Superior opponent like this I could see

Them sitting everyone and trying to beat a beat up Dallas team right now uh so I think that this is a spot where it’s Denver or nothing because I think they’re going to be down at least three starters in this game against the Nuggets love it yeah my lean is to the

Nuggets as well especially with all those injuries uh that it looks like those like some of those main guys will actually be out tonight all right those are three games to cover obviously when you’re talking about NBA pick Sports line is going to have a host of NBA

Picks on top of the Marquee matchups that we discussed by the way big cheesy says Kings money line plus money I mean no shocker that he says King’s money line plus money uh but Japan light the beam don’t Japan don’t let don’t let big cheesy influence you all right I mean I

Every big cheesy somehow you got everybody ring around you um I’m interested to see what happens in that game though maybe maybe I’m rooting for you there because I don’t think I’m gonna have a play on that bet all right my play right now is to bring everybody

Back on the show but before we do that let’s hear a message from our partner [Applause] it’s time to get to our official bets we got back Danny Brasco and buckets buckets with the the rise smile I don’t know what went on when you guys were back there but apparently some Antics uh

Like button buckets go ahead one sec see I got to hit the like button real quick this is embarrassing but I have not done it yet so let me get that there we go no we’re good we’re good now let’s talk about the English Premier League because

You know that when we have a topof the table clash between teams like Liverpool and Manchester City there’s just so much hype and everybody wants to get in on it unfortunately that’s not what we have today instead what we have is a relegation bound match up between two

Noly promoted teams that are both struggling to find any kind of form right now I’m looking at Burnley hosting luten town and this is a difficult match for a lot of reasons but the main reason being this is a match that has the potential to be a six-point swing if

Either one of these teams win this game outright six points is a massive jump for a team that is sitting in the relegation Zone at this point in the season when I’m looking at this match there’s only one way I want to bet it and it is of course with our favorite

Bet here of both teams to score at minus 1225 at 245 this afternoon when newly promoted teams have played in the EPL this season they are averaging over 4.2 goals per match in these games we have two teams that are desperate to find any kind of result two teams that do not

Play defense and two teams that as soon as one of them does go down one nil it is going to be absolute Hellfire on this pitch seea I love btts between this match with that being said no clue who’s GNA win this game absolutely no idea

I’ll tell you what Bradley Jacobs is on the same page as you and he says it love it when we are on the same page buckets a lot of soccer C in this chat as you know snug the cat usually has something to say about the soccer picks among

Others so uh love the contributions in terms of the picks uh from the chat again Ben ho in there dropping some hockey plays if you’re interested in that and I know you’re all interested in golf plays so let me let me go ahead and drop my round two matchup here now I’ll

Say this yesterday I had a round two matchup at hit of course and a lot of people texted me or I should say messaged me after the show about matchups they had at their book because we know there’s not a ton of consistency and I responded to all of those people

Whether it was a a Twitter message or whether it was a Twitter comment and I’m pretty sure I don’t know this for a fact but I’m pretty sure all of those answers ended up being hits and you guys can correct me if I’m wrong in the chat so

The only reason I say that is because if you don’t have this match up at your book I welcome you because we have time right this doesn’t start for another few hours most of these matchups won’t start for another three four five hours if you

Have a three ball that that that I I’m not putting out and it’s at a different book please go ahead and send me that and I will try to answer it if it’s a stay away I’ll tell you it’s a stay away but what I’m on is Alex norn you

Remember Alex norn was one of my one of my three first round leaders yesterday he actually had a really good round unfortunately his back nine he just ended up parring it the whole way through I like what he did yesterday he wasn’t great on approach he was good off

The tea and he’s great with the Putter and that’s why I’m actually taking him over Patrick Rogers because I’ll say this about Patrick Rogers he’s been pretty good on approach with the ball striking Patrick Rogers is really coming on but he typically a sometimes has problems on approach but B A lot of

Times has problems with the putter and that’s not a weakness of Alex norn and on this course I really want somebody who can get hot with the putter just like Alex norn was uh yesterday with the putter so I think the ball striking is gonna bounce back a little bit for noren

Uh but I think the putter is going to be the difference here I think Patrick Rogers is going to miss too many and I’m gonna take Alex noren at a pretty modest price minus 122 over Patrick Rogers again if you have a matchup that you

Like or that you want to ask me about go ahead and uh ask me that and I’ll tell you this this is not as much a fade on Patrick Rogers like the Dei play was a fade on Dei yesterday this is really more of a play on Alex Thorn so just

Keep that in mind all right that’s my golf pick sorry for the the extra stuff there but I I just really want to implore upon all of you that because there’s no consistency in these golf picks bookto book uh you might not have this play and so again go ahead and

Message me if you don’t Danny Brasco you always come Friday with an NFL play but we also have UFC to talk about so the floor is yours my friend that’s right CA UFC is back after a brief Hiatus fight fans have been itching to get back to

The octagon and here we go back to the Apex we go so let me open with that and I’m gonna go away from the main event big favorite maged analaya minus 550 against Johnny Walker be sure to check out my Sportsline article about that fight and nine other fights as well to

Get some insight but my pick here is old man Jim Miller at minus 134 now where I gave him in sports line on Wednesday when the article came out is at minus10 and the line is on the Move man this guy’s 40 years old the most fights

Logged in UFC history the most wins in UFC history and I think he’s going to add one more on Saturday when he beats Gabriel bitez Miller is second alltime in submissions just behind Charles Oliva with 11 subs and all of a sudden he’s turned from legendary Grappler into

Menacing bruising boxer as he’s gotten older he’s relied on his power and even against fellow Strikers he looks to get right in the pocket and throw massive Hooks and see if his opponents can stand and bang with him so far they have not been able to I think old man Miller’s

Got the power to really put bonitz on his on his butt in this fight bonitz is a good kickboxer himself he’s got stinging kicks good knees but unless he can land a flash shot like that to put Miller out I think Miller wins those exchanges in the pocket so give me Jim

Miller on the money line and maybe even look for a Sprinkle on the inside the distance prop for plus money there I like Miller in that fight then let’s transition to NFL CA and I will be on the show tomorrow to talk further on these maybe give another pick in this

Game but I’m looking at the Dolphins and the Chiefs and I’m targeting the under 44 surprise surprise this game should be heavily impacted by weather conditions and I’ve been playing meteorologist all week monitoring the wind wind gusts always a big factor in terms of how they impact totals can they kill the air

Yards and special teams and right now wind looking like about 10 plus mile per hour but really more than anything it’s the temperature it’s going to be below zero when you factor those wind gusts in I mean frigid for a dolphin to go out there in Kansas City and we know Tua has

Struggled on the road against teams above 500 Road or neutral games in those situations he’s two and 10 straight up so in a frigid kind of stiff and cold atmosphere with Tua having had his struggles uh with Tyre kale Jaylen Wadd being injury liabilities I can see this

Game turning more into a war in the trenches than sort of an Air Raid Offense where both teams are looking to establish the Run game and that could mean the Chiefs are relying on their defense which has got it done all season behind that secondary and that linebacking core and the Dolphins are

Trying to establish the run and those things could lead this game script to playing out to an under so you’ve heard M Square talk about the key number of 43 all year let’s get this B while it’s above that number and play Chiefs Dolphins under

44 all right I love that I I you know I definitely lean toward the under there as well and by the way you referenced tomorrow’s show so tomorrow we have a show I believe and Jake can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe it’s at 3:30

Tomorrow so everybody keep that in mind that’ll be an NFL show for everybody to consume all right Mike McClure we just got off an NFL play here and you have a very interesting NFL play that honestly I I’m fully behind here and by the way if you want to catch some more NFL

Content Mike and I will be on fantasy football today DFS at 11 o’clock today we’re gonna give out our favorite DFS plays but of course uh those implicate props and and game scripts and things of that nature too so it’s certainly not just a DFS show but Mike you like the

Rams talk to us about it love the Rams CA uh look I have the Rams favorite in this game against Detroit uh I think Detroit is one of the more fraudulent teams in the NFL especially defensively I have this team rated 24th and everyone has them rated 24th if you look at

Actual defensive EPA uh but when you look at the Rams here this Rams team has been phenomenal won seven of their last eight games call it six of seven if you want to remove the game that doesn’t really matter the final week of the season but that lone loss in that Str

Stretch came on the road against the Baltimore Ravens where they scored 31 points and covered the spread they lost the game on a punt return touchdown in overtime uh this Rams team is healthy it is a far different team now than when they started the season the first four

Or five weeks dealing with injuries they’ve got a ton of weapons Detroit surrenders a ton of explosive plays in the passing game the passing game absolutely will be there because of how good Kiren Williams is on the ground he’s going to have his way against Detroit uh and then you’ve got the

Familiarity with sha McVey on the other side I think this is a great spot to back the Rams I think they’re significantly undervalued I think that they are the second best team in the NFC uh and maybe a hot take you might like Dallas a lot more there we will see

Because I think we’re going to get that matchup uh next week but give me the Rams here winning this one outright uh when you find a number like plus 145 uh which is still floating around in the market that implies for 40% I think the Rams have a significantly higher than

40% chance of winning this football game again I make the number 51% just a massive massive Edge on the Rams money line by the way I I love first of all I love that play I’m probably just so everybody knows because this is I put a play on Sports Line yesterday against

The spread uh which Sportsline members will know that hopefully have my notifications turned on but I’m going to play the Rams too I’m probably not going to play the Rams money line uh Mike I I totally get playing the plus 14 I’ll probably end up taking the points but what’s really interesting Mackenzie

Brooks anyone like Durham SMI over 18 and half receiving yards I love that Duram Smite has been the subject of our NFL shows literally for two weeks in a row and for the record I I do kind of like that I hit that exact prop on that

Exact number two weeks ago last week during the show we actually talked about it he ended up hitting the over on that as well so uh yeah I’m I’m a fan of Durham Smite especially if we see waddle out for that game uh real quick there were some questions about golf before

Chip before we get to your pick um I am not running Fitzpatrick back over Hideki matama if that was a little like it’s minus 135 again I don’t like how Fitzpatrick Clos and I thought I saw glimpses from Hideki mama if that was more like minus 110 I’d consider it but

Not at minus 135 the hat and three ball Zack that you recommended I think that’s a good one um and I there was another question about uh I think noren over Ry I don’t like that I I fear Ry today I think he could have a good tournament all right chip Patterson it’s

Interesting because I see your pick right now and I’m like all right chip is always good for a golf pick too so I’m I I I know you don’t have a golf pick today but I love that as we do these Friday shows you’re gonna pepper in some

Golf picks as well but today we have college basketball let’s go oh yeah we’re gonna go with the 9:30 tip off in Parker Carver Hawkeye Arena Iowa city where it’s snowy outside but you know what warm you know what’s really comfortable just a trend that goes back for Seasons upon Seasons upon Seasons

Because Iowa with its blistering Pace just right up and down the floor with the way that they can launch it from outside the ark Iowa has been traditionally a pretty good over team this year 11-4 to the over and when they’re playing at home with those

Friendly rims for the offense s and one to the over this year so sometimes when you see these numbers on the extreme like the really really low total when Virginia is playing in a game and the total is 116 sometimes the models and the markets can’t make it low enough because of the

Way that two slow teams will just exponentially make it slower here’s what we have and Nebraska is not like an overwhelming Tempo team but when they have played uptempo teams they’ve gotten sped up and the Corn Huskers have an efficient enough offense that with more possessions in the game and I’m

Certainly expecting that given the way that Iowa plays as one of the fastest teams in all the power Conference basketball you’re going to get more buckets so this one and I I said this on Sportsline earlier this sticks out like a sore thumb looking at Friday’s board

You’re like 165 it might be 166 I like 166 too but I promise you this is going to be a spot where you’re going to see the pace and if Nebraska doesn’t have any hangover from beating Purdue and if they are able to get some buckets as

Well I mean this thing might finish above 170 I love you that you brought up Nebraska against Purdue because we hit that play first half and I know a lot of people were on Nebraska for the upset Plus s and half mikee McClure go ahead

Uh yeah I just want to back chip up on this one here how insane this is uh Iowa the pace of play is absolutely incredible easily a top five team but when you narrow it down to like the teams that we really follow and care about definitely the top team in Pace

But the free throw shooting both of these teams two of the better free throw shooting teams in college basketball here if this game is competitive like we think it is we could literally see one of those games where it’s a foul contest at the end we’re literally talking 20

Point points in the final three minutes of the game love that love that let’s go Iowa at a high Pace uh that’s not anything I thought I would ever hey no this this is the thing man it’s like Fran mcaffrey scores more than Kirk frence I understand the college football

Approach to like Iowa but and the other thing is that Iowa’s defense is bad like they the football and the basketball team are inverse of each other I mean I’m here for I’m here for all of this uh Japan says Rams vers Browns in the Super Bowl you know what

My my sort of contrarian Super Bowl pick buckets I’m going to you I need your Super Bowl pick is the Browns versus the San Francisco 49ers I mean the ners were my preseason pick to win the Super Bowl as well I think the Browns are really good uh buckets who’s your Super Bowl

Pick we we all have been clamoring to know uh who’s still in it aren’t we in playoffs now yes okay can you think of any teams Chiefs I know Chiefs Mike is here there all right Chiefs in the Super Bowl and versus Rams Rams I heard Rams
