Sharp Football Analysis by Warren Sharp

NFL Week 8 takeaways from the numbers with Warren Sharp. Minnesota put seven in the box on 88 percent of Detroit's snaps and blitzed Jared Goff on 79 percent of his dropbacks, both the most in the week, and the Lions ran for 218 yards anyway as Jahmyr Gibbs went from 3.4 yards a carry in the first half to 9.7 in the second. Baker Mayfield completed 0 passes and Tampa Bay won. Dallas led Arizona 17-3, ran it 15 times for 1.9 a carry on second half early downs, threw on the drive that should have ended the game and lost in overtime. Denver finally gave the ball to Jonah Coleman and beat Kansas City, Buffalo beat Baltimore 36-10, and the AFC picture changed. Plus Curtis on Monday Night Football, Bears at Seahawks.

The show opens with a tribute to Brendan Donahue, our mock draft expert, who passed away last week at 45. The most accurate mock drafter in the nation for seven straight years and a friend to everyone at Sharp Football. We will miss him.

NFL Week 6 takeaways from the numbers. Atlanta had the best run game in the week on a per carry basis and called 12 rushes, the fewest in the week, while Michael Penix got blitzed and sacked at the second worst rates of any quarterback. The Cowboys slipped, literally, and ran the worst early down run game of any first half in the week. 2026 is the second most penalized start to a season since 2000 and delay of game flags are at an all time high. The Steelers went from first and goal with 1:38 left to fourth and goal with 1:23 left and needed overtime to beat Tampa Bay. The Giants collapsed against the Saints, and Jalen Hurts' London numbers fell off a cliff after halftime on 36 hours without sleep, before the news that he is out for the season. Plus a best bet for Monday Night Football with Curtis.

NFL Week 5 best bets, player props and referee picks, plus three of the biggest college football games of the weekend. It starts with three keys that decide how you bet the weekend: Sam Darnold against a 49ers defense that takes away the middle of the field, the Bengals possibly without Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and why that might help Chase Brown against a Dolphins run defense with a split, and the Bears running outside zone at a Packers defense that cannot stop it. Then Ryan McCrystal on Alabama at Georgia, Oklahoma vs Texas and UCLA at Oregon, Rich Hribar with three props including Monday night, Joe Gibbs on the referees for Lions at Cardinals, Ravens at Falcons and Bills at Rams, and the best bet of the week to close.

NFL Week 4 best bets, player props and referee picks, plus three of the biggest college football games of the weekend. Warren Sharp opens with three matchups that decide how you bet the weekend, then Ryan McCrystal on the Saturday college slate, Rich Hribar with three favorite props including the first London game of the year, Joe Gibbs on the Week 4 referee crews, and the best bet of the week to close.

50% off any season long or monthly package with code SHOW50: https://sharp.football

Covered in this episode: Brian Flores, Kirk Cousins, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Daniel Jones, Brad Allen, Craig Wrolstad, Land Clark.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
• Why the number one blitz rate in the NFL on early downs is a problem for a quarterback who has not faced an above average blitz yet
• The play action split that makes one offense look like two different teams, and the defense that is elite without it and bottom five against it
• Why a pass rush that gets home on 59% of third downs only gets there on 25% of early downs, and what that means for a quarterback who is barely pressured
• Three college games where a coordinator change, a missed tackle rate and a quarterback holding the ball decide the number
• How three referee crews are calling penalties this season and which teams it helps

NFL Week 3 takeaways from the numbers. Dallas mismanaged the clock at the Baltimore 7, the Chargers got 5 Buffalo turnovers and did not even cover, and halftime adjustments decided several games. Plus a few best bets for Monday Night Football, Eagles at Bears, with Curtis.

What You'll Learn

• Why the Cowboys' timeout with 15 seconds left, the throwaway and the touchback handed Baltimore a chance
• Derrick Henry's short yardage numbers: 53% first down rate on 75 runs, ranked 70th of 73 backs

• The four Chargers drives inside the Bills 30 that produced three field goals, a miss and an interception
• Mike McCarthy's halftime change: shotgun from 73% to 52%, third downs from 7.2 to 4.3 yards to go
• Why Cincinnati saw the lightest boxes of the week and still ran only 16 times
• Jacksonville's run game against the Patriots, and why New England's early down runs against light boxes had a 0% success rate
• Drake Maye holding the ball 3.3 seconds and the lowest third down passer rating of the week
• How Seattle threw for 393 yards, outgained Washington 6.8 to 4.0 yards per play, and lost
• Marcus Mariota pressured on 54% of dropbacks with 0 interceptions and 3 touchdowns
• Bryce Young against man coverage versus zone
• Monday Night Football: Eagles at Bears, with Curtis on the angles he is watching

NFL Week 3 best bets, player props and referee picks, plus three of the biggest college football games of the weekend. Warren Sharp is 38-13 (75%) lifetime on podcast best bets, and this is the full Week 3 card: his best bet of the week plus a second bet, three props from Rich Hribar, Ryan McCrystal on three Saturday games and Joe Gibbs on the Week 3 referees.

It starts with four NFL matchups. The Chargers defense, stout against the run and falling apart against the pass, going to Buffalo to face Josh Allen. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has every Seattle touchdown this season, against a Washington defense that blitzes. The Cleveland Browns, who have played the two toughest run defenses in the league and now get one of the softest. And Drake Maye going to Jacksonville, into the coverage that keeps finding him.

45% off the season: the computer totals are back, and code SHOW45 takes 45% off any full season betting package. 70% on computer total recommendations historically over the last six seasons, and 739-431 since 2006, a 63% win rate. https://sharp.football

Games covered: Ole Miss at Florida, USC at Oregon, Texas at Tennessee, Chargers at Bills, Seahawks at Commanders, Browns at Panthers, Patriots at Jaguars, Jets at Lions, Titans at Giants, Chiefs at Dolphins, Texans at Colts, Rams at Broncos on Sunday Night Football and Eagles at Bears on Monday Night Football.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Why the Chargers are number two in the NFL against early down runs and still in trouble in Buffalo
• The play action and two high mismatch that Buffalo does not have to work to create
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s blitz usage and what Washington’s blitz rate does to it
• Why Cleveland’s whole offensive profile has been a strength of schedule story, and what changes this week
• The coverage Drake Maye keeps seeing, and who plays it most in the NFL
• Ryan McCrystal on three Saturday games, including the one data point he trusts this early in the season
• Rich Hribar’s three Week 3 props and the numbers behind each one, including where he ladders
• The referee trends behind Joe Gibbs’ three picks, including a crew the Broncos are 1-6 with at home
• Warren’s Week 3 best bet, plus one more bet on a second game

It starts with three things from Week 1 that change how you bet Week 2. Houston's revamped offense and what it does to opponent play volume against the Bengals.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
How Houston's offense changed its intent in Week 1 and why opponent play volume is the number to watch
Why Tampa's blitz rate against a slow time to throw is the mismatch of the week
Why the Eagles offense is a problem even in a win, and what the first down and play action numbers say
Ryan McCrystal on LSU at Ole Miss, the doubtful quarterback, and why the line has barely moved
Rich Hribar's three Week 2 props and the numbers behind each one, including where he ladders
