Description

On today's episode, Jason starts things by telling us how impressed he was with the Indianapolis Colts and the way they thoroughly outplayed the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. The offensive line is tough and the defense is great, but the emergence of rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has turned Indy into a legitimate threat in the AFC. Suddenly, Philip Rivers is surrounded by weapons and all he has to do is manage the game for the team to be successful. Jason also shares his thoughts on Lamar Jackson's decision to vent about the predictability of the Baltimore Ravens offense. While Jackson's concerns are valid, in many ways it feels like his comments say more about his own limitations than it does about the playcalling. Needless to say, Sunday Night's matchup against the Patriots is a big one for Jackson and the Ravens. Plus, FanDuel director of trading John Sheeran swings by to explain why the NBA drives a bigger betting handle every season than the NFL, how difficult it can be to set the correct gambling lines given that there is no true home field advantage due to the pandemic, why he never believed in the 'The Sharps vs. The Squares' narrative that seems to permeate through sports media, why he doesn't agree with moving the lines just because the overwhelming amount of money is on one side, why the mantra 'never bet on bad teams' doesn't always pay off, and much more! Finally, Jason closes things out with his usual 4-for-1 NFL Sunday edition of the Best Bet.
