The Favorites Sports Betting Podcast

Chad opens the show by talking about how well the year is going for him so far, with the exception of a few instances where his family hasn't adhered to the rules and standards of "The Year of Kindness." Scooch then joined to talk about the Bama-Clemson National Championship Game line, before analyzing the lines, and where the smart money is, for each and every NFL Divisional game. Spoiler alert:...

With the National Championship tonight and round one of the NFL playoffs coming up, Geoff, Paul, and BlackJack go over the sharpest plays of each game. The guys discuss Kansas City's horrendous playoff record, whether or not the Patriots can make another run in the postseason, and what Adam Sandler song best describes Cody Parkey's double-doink missed field goal Sunday night. Learn more about your...

The Supercontest show is back, now with a slightly different format since the actual Supercontest is over. That said, Blackjack and Chad's love for each other hasn't changed at all, which is truly all that matters. The guys breakdown the NCAAF National Championship Game and the NFL's Wild Card slate, deciding which games they are most and least confident about. Plus details on the live podcast Jan...

Chad and Scooch relive their (lame) New Years Eves and then look back on the year in NFL betting, including Chad taking out his betting vengeance on a colleague.  Then Chad and Scooch talk through the Wild Card games. In what game are the public and wise guys aligned? Why are the Bears laying 6?  Also, how many points is Lamar Jackson worth, compared to Joe Flacco? What is Baker Mayfield worth? An...

Chad and Blackjack do their usual battle for five picks in the last week of meaningful games of the NFL season. But they're joined by a special guest, who's budding rivalry with BlackJack is becoming ... problematic. But it'll get settled.  The guys agree quickly on a few games (NE-BUF) and are on opposite sides of a few others (SEA-KC).  Plus, BlackJack has a message to the Patriots, after backin...

First, another song from the Skootles that will enrage Mrs. Scooch (should she listen, which she probably won't). Then, Chad and Scooch go through the entire slate of Week 16 games. What is the most lopsided game on the board? Are the pros really siding with Buffalo against New England? Is Minnesota for real, or just the next example of recency bias?  Then... Fresh off both winning in Scooch Roule...

After cracking the formula for how to win the parlay (pick on the moneyline), the boys are back and are dying to cash a ticket.  What does Geoff think of his brother's Chiefs chances in Seattle this week? Why did Paul resurface on baseball Twitter this week? What is going on with Sean McVay and the Rams? And can the boys finally cash a nine-teamer?! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www....

BlackJack is ill today, but the guys are able to pull it together to make more square picks. Can BlackJack convince Chad to lay 2.5 with New England in Pittsburgh? What crap-tastic teams will Chad and Blackjack agree on this week? Which employee does Chad value more: BlackJack or Darren Rovell? (This one gets heated.)  Plus some details on the live podcast and Chad's son's squash career.  Please r...

Scooch is hot off of Vegas's second-best weekend of the season (thanks, Raiders, Cardinals, and Jags!). So hot, he even sings his first song of the year.... which makes sense, because he reveals he is IN A BAND AND HAS BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME?!?! Scooch explains why he thinks one disappointing team will bounce back this week, the difference between Mitch Trubisky and Chase Daniel (if there is one), a...

Did anyone cash a single bet this weekend? Yikes! Geoff, Paul and Blackjack are back at it this week to take some money back.  Paul continued his run of hilarious bad beats, and then Blackjack and Geoff give a eulogy for the miserable week gone by.  With college football winding down, some new sports enter the parlay this week (maybe that'll help change their luck). Can New England finally shake M...

Off a rough 1-4 last week, Chad and Blackjack have a hard time landing on five games they like this week, even though Georgina is back to save them from each other.   Can Blackjack convince Chad to bet Kansas City as massive road favorites against Oakland? Who do they like in MIN/NE? And what gets Blackjack fired up the most this week (hint, it's not NFL-related).  Please review, rate and subscrib...

The Favorites welcomes Pat McAfee, former Colts punter, legendary podcaster, stand-up comedian, and broadcaster to the show for a very special episode.  The guys ask Pat about whether NFL players know point spreads, how the AFC South will shake out (remember when the Colts went for two and lost? that may have been a turning point), where Le'Veon Bell will play next year, his WWE career, and how Pa...

It's Week 13 and just like each and every other week, Chad and Scooch are here to help you navigate your way through the week's lines.

Welcome to another week, and another Parlay show, with Chad, Paul, and Geoff. This week's picks are heavily centered around the championship games taking place in the MAC, Pac-12, Big 12, SEC, and AAC--those are the ones that the guys came to a consensus on, at least. Moving over to the NFL, LoDuca floored it, throwing caution into the wind, and Chad grabbed the emergency break, challenging one pi...

It's Thanksgiving, and even though Chad is in the Greenwich mansion and Blackjack is in Florida, the boys still come together to insult each other and agree on five NFL picks against the spread.  Do Colt McCoy or Chase Daniel make it into the five? Can Blackjack convince Chad to take a giant road favorite? Can the boys pick something other than bad teams... for once?  Note: Georgina has a Thanksgi...

It's Week 12, THANKSGIVING WEEK, which means a lot of Thursday football watching while full of food, drink, and potentially regret. As always, Chad and Scooch are here to help you navigate your way through the week's lines. Chad doesn't like many of the games, and, as a bookmaker, Scooch doesn't really like Thanksgiving. Ultimately, though, the guys were able to pick out at least a couple of match...

In advance of eating preposterous amounts of food, this Thursday, Geoff, Paul, and no, not Chad--Blackjack-- build a nine-team parlay, largely based around the NFL's Thanksgiving games. Don't worry, though, the guys also make their usual college picks (as is tradition). Oh and, as Chad's proxy, Blackjack defends the honor of the Bears against Paul's wild claims about their defense. 5:16 Geoff pick...
