  1. NFL Week 8 Recap + MNF Preview !!

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler recap NFL Week 8. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler break down every Sunday game from NFL Week 8, hunt for early Week 9 value and deliver their Monday Night Football read on the Chicago Bears at the Seattle Seahawks on this episode from the Pregame.com Podcast Network. At 1:45 the show opens with the biggest story of the week, as Lamar Jackson leaves the Bills game in the first quarter with a thumb injury on his throwing hand that requires surgery and a move to injured reserve, and backup Tyler Huntley follows with a turf toe injury, forcing Baltimore to its emergency quarterback in a 36 to 10 loss. Buffalo outgains the Ravens 426 to 144, and Uncle Dave makes the Ravens team total under against Jacksonville his first Thursday night play. At 6:38 the Bengals need overtime to survive the Titans 43 to 36 despite 462 passing yards and five touchdowns from Joe Burrow, and Dave explains why he wants to buy Cincinnati but simply cannot trust that defense after it allowed 158 rushing yards. At 11:38 Gardner Minshew and Tyler Allgeier rally the Cardinals past the Cowboys 33 to 30 in overtime, Arizona outgains Dallas 467 to 261, and Dave says nothing changes in Dallas until Jerry Jones changes while flagging the Cowboys team total over at Indianapolis. At 17:57 the Lions hand the Vikings their first loss 19 to 15, and Dave would take Minnesota catching a field goal at home against Buffalo on Monday Night Football while leaning Miami as Detroit lays seven on the road. At 22:22 the Patriots beat the Dolphins 24 to 19 but Miami covers late, cashing a large ticket for Dave, who now likes the over in Patriots and Packers. At 26:40 the Raiders outlast the Jets 38 to 33 behind two Brock Bowers touchdowns and two defensive or special teams scores, and Dave wants to fade the Jets sooner rather than later. At 31:00 the Steelers run for nearly 200 yards in a 27 to 6 win over the Browns, while Dave questions whether that ground game is sustainable and leans New Orleans in Week 9. At 35:57 Tampa Bay runs for 324 yards in a weather soaked 16 to 0 shutout of Atlanta with Baker Mayfield attempting just three passes, and Dave targets Falcons overs going forward. At 39:41 the Jaguars crush a Colts team in full fire sale mode 42 to 7, at 44:11 the Rams handle the winless Chargers 24 to 9, and Dave likes Washington plus 5.5 against the Rams while Munaf would lay 4.5 with Houston against the Chargers. At 48:39 Bo Nix and the Broncos rally past the Chiefs 28 to 24 with a 15 to 0 fourth quarter, and Munaf backs Carolina plus three at home off extra rest. At 53:31 the Commanders beat the Eagles 27 to 10 on Sunday Night Football, and Dave says Philadelphia has bigger problems than anyone realizes when Saquon Barkley is held to 30 yards, backing the Giants on the moneyline next week. At 59:32 the crew previews Bears at Seahawks, with Seattle laying three and drifting toward 3.5 on a total of 46.5. Dave doubts Jeffery Simmons moves the needle in less than a week and sides with the Seahawks, who cannot afford a fourth loss, while Munaf notes Seattle has not allowed 200 passing yards to any quarterback this season but would grab the Bears at plus 3.5 and lean over. Munaf also reminds listeners that promo code NFL26 unlocks one month of his NFL All Access at Pregame.com for 99 dollars through November 9, and Dave closes with a reminder to stay disciplined as college basketball season begins.

    Show notes

    Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk CFB betting for Week 9. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return to RJ Bell’s Dream Preview from Pregame.com with a five-game breakdown of the Week 9 college football card and best bets for the weekend. At 0:31 Lonte sets the scoreboard, with Dave at 7 and 1 on best bets and 10 and 6 overall while Lonte looks to climb out of a 3 and 5 hole. At 2:12 the show opens with Florida and Georgia, moved from Jacksonville to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for the first time in 30 years, with Georgia laying 11.5 and a total of 55.5 to 56. Dave explains why the rivalry means more to the Gators, why Georgia may struggle to cover both this game and next week at Ole Miss, and why Florida has scored exactly 20 points in each of the last four meetings. Both hosts land on the under, with Lonte citing offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner’s past success against Kirby Smart and adding the first half under at 28.5, while Dave expects Jon Sumrall to shorten the game behind Jadan Baugh. At 7:58 the focus shifts to Clemson at Florida State in prime time on ACC Network, where Dave lays the points at anything under a touchdown against a Clemson offense whose best output came against FCS Charleston Southern, and Lonte agrees, noting Clemson has only two passing touchdowns all season and adding the under at 50.5. At 12:07 the hosts split on No. 22 Arizona at Texas Tech, with Lonte backing the Red Raiders to rebound from a loss to Cincinnati and Dave taking Arizona and the points behind Noah Fifita, refusing to flip a pick he wrote out early. At 16:13 No. 20 Northwestern visits Oregon with the Ducks laying 3.5, Dylan Raiola under center, a new play caller in Eugene and Chip Kelly returning to Autzen as Northwestern’s offensive coordinator, and both hosts like the under at 47.5 as Dave notes Oregon has scored just 42 points in its last three games. At 20:23 the marquee game arrives as No. 2 Ohio State visits USC with freshman Luke Fahey making his first career start, and Dave lays the 6.5 by leaning on the nation’s third best scoring defense and two weeks of preparation, while both hosts like the USC team total under. At 25:56 Dave delivers his best bet on Iowa State plus 9.5 at home against Oklahoma State, and at 27:54 Lonte answers with Oregon minus 3.5. At 28:43 Dave adds the over in Cal at NC State and reads the market on Maryland plus 2.5 against Illinois, calling the Terps the sharp side with the money on Maryland despite most tickets on Illinois. At 31:44 the show closes with a look at how playoff money, recruiting, NIL and coaching bonuses will shape motivation across the final month of the regular season.

  3. NFL Week 8 Player Props

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 8 Player Props. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return to the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with the NFL Week 8 player props edition, delivering one prop at every offensive position, two touchdown scorers and an agreed upon best bet. Munaf arrives riding back to back perfect weeks on his player props, while Sleepy J finally cashed a touchdown prop last week. At 1:27 Munaf flags the Colts fire sale and the Josh Downs trade request, urging bettors to watch the injury report and trade wire closely. At 2:20 Sleepy J opens the quarterback segment with Aaron Rodgers under 219.5 passing yards, citing a Cleveland pass rush that sacked Rodgers five times in the first meeting, a shaky Steelers offensive line, and a receiver room without Roman Wilson and Michael Pittman Jr. He expects Pittsburgh to lean on Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren. At 4:17 Munaf adds the post international trip letdown angle, then fades his own fantasy quarterback with Caleb Williams under 229.5 passing yards on Monday Night Football, noting that no quarterback has reached 200 passing yards against the Seattle defense this season. At 7:17 Sleepy J plays Ollie Gordon II under 76.5 rushing plus receiving yards against a healthier Patriots run defense, pointing to limited receiving work and a likely negative game script for Miami. At 9:59 Munaf counters with Tony Pollard over 60.5 rushing yards against the Bengals after Pollard rumbled for 129 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries against the Browns, while Sleepy J warns that a blowout could cost Pollard late carries. At 12:45 Sleepy J backs Tee Higgins over 66.5 receiving yards, calling him a top ten wide receiver and a matchup nightmare, and Munaf notes that Chase missed Wednesday practice with an ankle issue. At 15:03 Munaf takes Zay Flowers over 76.5 receiving yards as Lamar Jackson returns for a high total showdown in Buffalo, highlighting a 137 yard effort last week and long catches of 54, 52, 31 and 48 yards. At 18:30 Sleepy J plays Hunter Henry over 3.5 receptions and over 38.5 receiving yards against a Miami defense that has been gashed by tight ends, and at 20:21 Munaf reveals the same yardage over, the first time in eight weeks the hosts have matched on a player prop. At 21:40 Sleepy J calls Trey McBride to score at minus 125 against Dallas, noting how few players in the league see more targets, and Munaf co signs before adding a 5 to 1 long shot on Justice Hill against the Bills at 23:10. At 24:42 the hosts share the Pregame.com offer, with code NERD26 unlocking one month of picks from Munaf for 99 dollars as he sits up 29.05 NFL units. At 26:56 the agreed upon best bet arrives, Ashton Jeanty over 27.5 receiving yards against the Jets. Jeanty has cleared that number in every game but one, with recent totals of 37, 68, 50, 36 and 61 receiving yards, and Sleepy J argues that a Raiders offensive line that cannot run block forces Las Vegas to get Jeanty the ball through the air with Kirk Cousins at quarterback. The episode closes at 31:32 with a look ahead to the Friday weekend preview alongside Uncle Dave Essler and a discussion of the 18 and 2 run Munaf has put together over his last 20 NFL plays, with Sleepy J reminding bettors that streaks like this are rare and worth riding.

  6. NFL Week 7 - Weekend Preview !!

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL betting for Sunday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler deliver the NFL Week 7 Weekend Preview on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, sharpening sides, totals, player props and Survivor picks with Friday injury reports in hand. The episode opens at 0:00 with a Thursday Night Football recap, as Cairo Santos split the uprights from 58 yards late to send Bears vs Patriots over the total while Chicago covered in a 30 to 24 win. At 1:56 the conversation moves to Paris, where the Steelers lay three against the Saints with a total of 44.5. Dave argues both recent wins were really about the opponent beating itself, and backs Pittsburgh, the under and a Saints team total under, while Munaf leans on Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard and a T.J. Watt pass rush against Tyler Shough. At 5:31 the hosts tackle 49ers at Falcons, with Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans all out for San Francisco. Dave calls it the game he least wants to touch, and both lean under if the total climbs to 50. At 10:13 Baker Mayfield returns for Tampa Bay, but a total that dropped despite heavy over money pushes Dave toward Carolina and the under, with Tetairoa McMillan receiving overs his favorite angle and Munaf backing Panthers minus three. At 14:52 the Bengals come off a bye to face a Ravens team with a limping Lamar Jackson, and both hosts side with Cincinnati as Munaf makes the case for Ja’Marr Chase over 78.5 receiving yards after games of 193, 264, 110 and 132 yards in his last four meetings with Baltimore. At 20:03 Packers at Lions carries a 53.5 total, with Dave on the Lions team total over and Munaf on the over plus a Packers team total over 25.5 as Josh Jacobs returns and Detroit sits 5 and 0 to the over. At 24:39 the Rams visit Las Vegas without Davante Adams and with Puka Nacua questionable, and both hosts take the Raiders as home underdogs under Klint Kubiak with Kirk Cousins playing efficient football. At 29:05 Sunday Night Football brings the Chiefs to the defending champion Seahawks, where Dave explains how Kenneth Walker III can help Eric Bieniemy attack the Aden Durde defense he practiced against for years, and both hosts take Kansas City plus three while Munaf adds Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards. At 34:31 the guys trade quick takes on Dolphins vs Jets and Browns vs Titans, with Dave leaning Tennessee against heavy public money on Cleveland. At 36:41 Munaf highlights the free Beat JRO NBA Contest and promo code AUDIBLE20 at Pregame.com for 20 dollars off one month of NFL and college football picks. At 39:09 the Survivor segment names the Texans and Vikings as the top options, with the Cardinals, Dolphins and Panthers offered as flyers for multi entry players. The show wraps at 42:51 with a promise to recap the weekend and preview Cowboys vs Eagles on Monday Night Football.

  7. NFL Week 7 Player Props

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 7. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J return on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with the NFL Week 7 player props podcast from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, delivering four player props each, two anytime touchdown plays and the pod best bet. Munaf arrives after sweeping his player props four and zero last week, and the pod best bet cashed comfortably on Matthew Golden on Sunday Night Football, while Sleepy notes that every pick on this episode also went out to his clients. The quarterback segment begins near the 2 minute mark with Sleepy taking Kyler Murray over 202.5 passing yards, arguing that a Colts pass defense that faced Athan Kaliakmanis, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Ward looks better than it is, while a rested Vikings offense gets Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Mason back with Justin Jefferson expected to play. Around the 4 minute mark Munaf flips to the other side with Daniel Jones to throw an interception at minus 119, pointing to a Brian Flores defense that has intercepted every quarterback it has faced except Malik Willis and to Jones throwing a pick in all three career meetings with Minnesota. The running back props follow at the 7 minute mark, as Sleepy backs Ashton Jeanty over 79.5 rushing plus receiving yards against a Rams run defense ranked seventh worst, with Davante Adams out and Jeanty drawing six or more targets in five of his last six games, and Munaf answers near the 10 minute mark with Bijan Robinson over 26.5 receiving yards against a 49ers defense that allows just under 80 rushing yards per game but gives up 46 receiving yards per game to running backs. Sleepy opens the wide receiver segment at the 13 minute mark with DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard both over 4.5 catches against the Saints in Paris after the duo combined for 27 targets last week in a quick release Aaron Rodgers offense, with a parlay of both available at plus 170. Munaf counters near the 17 minute mark with Malik Nabers over 68.5 receiving yards as JJ McCarthy starts against a Texans secondary allowing 195.5 receiving yards per game, though Sleepy warns a new quarterback could try to do too much against a defense that has finally woken up. At tight end near the 22 minute mark, Sleepy lays chalk on Tucker Kraft to record four or more receptions at minus 190 against a Lions defense that has allowed nine touchdowns and more than 500 yards to the position, and Munaf fades Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards in Seattle, citing a Seahawks unit allowing roughly 25 yards per game to tight ends and an ankle injury that limited Kelce in practice, while Sleepy pushes back that Patrick Mahomes leans on a healthier Kelce in big games. The touchdown props arrive at the 31 minute mark with Sleepy predicting a two and zero week behind Kyren Williams at minus 155 and Munaf taking Jaylen Warren at minus 120 against a Saints defense that has allowed a rushing touchdown to every opposing running back. Sleepy then highlights the Beat JR contest for the NBA season and code TOUCHDOWN20 for 20 dollars off a month of NFL and college football picks at Pregame.com. The episode closes at the 36 minute mark with the pod best bet, now four and two on the season, on Ja’Marr Chase over 78.5 receiving yards against Baltimore, as Chase comes off the Bengals bye with at least 12 targets and 110 yards in each of his last four meetings with the Ravens, a matchup Marlon Humphrey admitted he would rather avoid.

  11. NFL Week 6 Recap + MNF Preview !!

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL Recap for Week 6 and talk MNF Commanders at 49ers. Munaf Manji and Diamond Dave Essler deliver the NFL Week 6 Weekend Rewind on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, recapping every Sunday result, the biggest injury news in the league and the first Week 7 lines worth a look. At 0:56 Dave sets the theme of the weekend, noting that every winner on Sunday also won the turnover battle except New England, which survived the Jets thanks to a big edge in the red zone and on third down. At 1:45 the guys break down the Texans 34 to 31 win over the Jaguars in London, a cash for Dave as a best bet on the RJ Bell Dream Preview, with C.J. Stroud throwing for 312 yards and three touchdowns and Marvin Harrison Jr. clearing his prop in his Houston debut. Dave explains why a loss would have let Jacksonville all but clinch the AFC South in October. At 6:43 Caleb Williams returns and completes his first 12 passes as the Bears beat the Falcons 31 to 23, and Dave says that slowing down Bijan Robinson is the blueprint against Atlanta, a team he is downgrading in a big way. At 11:30 the Browns grind out a 13 to 10 win over a Ravens team playing without Lamar Jackson, and Dave questions why the market still treats Cleveland as a short favorite at Tennessee. At 15:19 the Titans win their first game of the season over the Colts despite gaining just 186 yards, the Colts fire general manager Chris Ballard the next morning, and Dave says the real Daniel Jones has arrived while pinning the problem on coaching rather than the front office. At 21:04 the Saints rally past the Giants 34 to 27 behind a plus three turnover margin, and Dave digs into the Cam Skattebo situation under John Harbaugh and the quarterback questions surrounding J.J. McCarthy and Tyler Shough. At 28:14 the Panthers handle the Eagles 25 to 14, and Munaf delivers the biggest news of the weekend, that Jalen Hurts is out for the season after doctors found multiple blood clots in his lungs, leaving Tanner McKee in charge of a reeling Philadelphia offense. At 32:57 Drake Maye throws three touchdowns in a win over the Jets, though the Patriots head into a short week with injuries to Romeo Doubs, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Morgan Moses and Ben Brown. At 36:09 Aaron Rodgers rallies the Steelers past rookie Jalon Daniels and the Buccaneers in overtime, a win Dave refuses to upgrade. At 39:47 Kenneth Walker III powers the Chiefs past the winless Chargers 22 to 6, and Dave says he would be all over Kansas City at plus 3 in Seattle. At 42:56 the Cardinals stun the Rams 18 to 16 as 12.5 point underdogs, and Dave questions why Los Angeles is still laying points on the road in Las Vegas. At 48:02 Josh Allen and the Bills outlast Kirk Cousins and the Raiders 33 to 30, with Dave still worried about the Buffalo defense. At 51:57 the Packers beat the Cowboys 23 to 13 by forcing two Dak Prescott interceptions, and Dave would take Green Bay plus 3.5 at Detroit with Josh Jacobs due back. At 56:18 Munaf shares the Pregame.com football special, every NFL and college football best bet for 30 days at 195 dollars, reduced to 175 dollars with coupon code DRIVE20 through October 26. At 57:36 the guys preview Monday Night Football between the Commanders and the 49ers, with Dave leaning toward San Francisco in the first half and the Washington team total under, and Munaf leaning toward the full game under 51.5. Dave also flags the Colts team total under next week and likes Carolina at home against Tampa Bay, giving bettors plenty to build a Week 7 card around.

  13. CFB Week 7 + Best Bets !!

    Show notes

    Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for College Football. Week 7 of the college football season brings a loaded card to the RJ Bell Dream Preview as Munaf Manji and Dave Essler of Cash That Ticket break down five featured games, deliver two best bets and fire through six more matchups in a lightning round. The show opens at 0:31 with a look at the midpoint of the season before the guys dive into the biggest game on the board at 1:21, No. 4 Ohio State at No. 5 Indiana in a rematch of the Big Ten title game from last season, which Indiana won 13 to 10. Munaf sees a battle in the trenches and a vulnerable Indiana secondary facing Jeremiah Smith, and he likes Ohio State tight end props, while Dave explains at 3:10 why Indiana is good but not great after losing its quarterback to the draft and why the Buckeyes, fresh off a bye, are his play on the team total over around 27. At 6:19 the conversation moves to Wallace Wade Stadium for Duke and North Carolina in the battle for the Victory Bell, where Munaf backs the Blue Devils in a classic fade spot for a UNC team coming off its first top 25 win under Bill Belichick, and Dave counters at 7:42 by trusting Belichick and the next man up approach over Manny Diaz, with Munaf adding the under 47.5. Florida at Texas follows at 10:20, and with the Gators losing two straight blowouts and the Longhorns trying to recover from the Oklahoma collapse, Dave breaks the game into derivatives at 11:48, taking Texas in the first half, the Texas first half team total over and the Florida team total under. At 13:43 the guys head to the Rose Bowl for Wisconsin at UCLA, a game reshaped by the season ending injury to Nico Iamaleava, and Munaf likes the Badgers and the under while waiting for a 3, but Dave refuses to step off the Bruins ledge at 15:51, praising Bob Chesney and a UCLA team that held Oregon to 15 points. The final featured game at 18:36 sends No. 6 Alabama to Neyland Stadium to face No. 14 Tennessee, where a total that dropped from 55 to 51.5 tells Dave that the Vols quarterback situation is shaky, so he leans Alabama and the Tennessee team total under, and Munaf agrees, noting Tennessee ranks 110th in passing offense and leans on DeSean Bishop and his 676 rushing yards. Best bets arrive at 24:13, with Dave taking Air Force at home over UNLV, calling Dan Mullen overrated and citing the altitude and the way service academies improve as the season goes on. Munaf answers at 26:39 with the Texas full game team total over 30.5, pointing to a Florida defense that ranks outside the top 100 in EPA per play and 123rd in success rate allowed. The rapid fire round begins at 27:56 with SMU in the first half against Virginia, the Missouri team total under against Ole Miss, Kentucky against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State plus the points at Houston behind quarterback Drew Mestemaker, the Mississippi State team total under at LSU, and a split decision on Notre Dame at BYU, where Munaf likes the Irish to roll and Dave prefers the home dog and the under in Provo. The show wraps at 35:14 with a reminder that the full card, not just the best bets, tells the real story, so tune in, grab your numbers early and join Munaf and Dave every week on Pregame.com for sharp college football betting analysis.

  15. NFL Week 5 Recap + MNF Preview !!

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NFL Week 5 recap and preview MNF Bills at Rams Munaf Manji and Dave Essler run back every Sunday result from Week 5 of the NFL season and preview Monday Night Football between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams on this edition of the Weekend Rewind Show. At 0:56 the conversation opens in Houston, where the Texans earned their first win of the season, a 26 to 3 handling of the Titans, with DeMeco Ryans back calling the defense and Marvin Harrison Jr. reuniting with C.J. Stroud in what Dave calls a much needed reset. At 3:41 the guys break down the Jaguars beating a short handed Eagles team on a 57 yard Cam Little field goal with one second left, and Dave calls the Eagles price a classic market overreaction after watching Jalen Carter dominate the Jacksonville line. At 7:45 the Bengals hold off the Dolphins 31 to 24 behind four Joe Burrow touchdown passes, but Miami running for 217 yards leaves Dave leery of the Cincinnati defense. At 11:18 the Packers crush the Bears 31 to 7 as Jordan Love throws for 367 yards, and Dave admits he is holding the scissors over his Bears division ticket. At 18:41 Drake Maye throws four touchdowns in a 45 to 17 Patriots blowout of the Raiders, and at 23:47 the Vikings move to 5 and 0 by holding the Saints to 142 total yards, even as Dave keeps waiting for the fraud alarm to sound. At 28:00 the Giants and Commanders finish 27 to 27 after Washington blows a 14 point home lead with brutal clock management, and Dave would upgrade New York and downgrade Washington going forward. At 32:52 the Jets beat the Browns 17 to 12 in what Dave calls a battle of which team was less bad, and at 36:07 Jaylen Warren piles up 188 scrimmage yards as the Steelers beat the Colts 34 to 22. At 39:02 Dave cashes his best bet as the 49ers win 32 to 29 at Seattle to stay unbeaten, with Mike Evans going for 113 yards while the Seahawks commit four turnovers and settle for five field goals. At 44:01 the Lions hammer the Cardinals 45 to 21 behind 151 rushing yards from Jahmyr Gibbs, cashing a Munaf team total, though Dave is still not buying the Detroit defense. At 48:58 the Broncos score the final 13 points to keep the Chargers winless, and Dave likes the Chargers plus 8.5 at Kansas City. At 53:41 Tyler Huntley leads the Ravens to a 30 to 23 overtime win in Atlanta after Michael Penix Jr. goes down, and at 56:22 the guys survey a wide open NFC South where Dave could be talked into a small Buccaneers futures bet. At 57:47 the Monday Night Football preview begins, with the Rams laying 3 to 3.5 and a total of 54.5. Dave says when in doubt take the points, backs Josh Allen plus more than a field goal and likes Keon Coleman props, while Munaf leans over the total, citing a Bills team that is 25 and 8 straight up and 21 and 12 against the spread off a loss since 2019. Along the way the hosts flag the key injuries for Week 6, preview early lines from London to Lambeau, and explain why looking back at where you have been is the best way to know where you are going as a bettor.

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk player prop betting for week 5. NFL Week 5 Player Props: Best Bets for QB, RB, WR, TE and Anytime Touchdown Scorers

    Munaf Manji and Sleepy J build a full Week 5 player prop card, covering anytime touchdown scorers, quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. The common thread is volume, matchup, and game script, and several picks correlate with each other.

    Anytime Touchdowns: Sleepy J takes DK Metcalf to score at +155 against an Indianapolis Colts pass defense he calls one of the worst in the league. Metcalf is Aaron Rodgers' top target but has found the end zone only once, a gap Sleepy J expects to close. Munaf goes back to Nico Collins at +120 on DraftKings against the Tennessee Titans. Collins has scored in each of his last four meetings with Tennessee and in both games he has played this season, and his target share from C.J. Stroud outweighs a low 38.5 total.

    Quarterbacks: Sleepy J fades Brock Purdy under 225.5 passing yards in Seattle against the league's top pass defense, which allows just 144 yards per game. With fullback Kyle Juszczyk out, he expects San Francisco to lean on the run, and Munaf adds that Purdy threw for only 159 and 127 yards in two recent trips against Seattle. Munaf backs Josh Allen over 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams at -105. The total sits at 54.5, the Rams have allowed multiple touchdown passes to Purdy, Bo Nix, and Jalen Hurts, and Allen has thrown three or more in all three career meetings with Los Angeles.

    Running Backs: Sleepy J likes Bhayshul Tuten over 58.5 rushing yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in London. Tuten has cleared this number in three of four games, every starting back has gone over it against Philadelphia, and with Jacksonville a 7.5 point favorite and Zack Baun likely out, the Jaguars should run late. Munaf takes Quinshon Judkins over 56.5 against the New York Jets, who were run on by Jahmyr Gibbs, Kyle Monangai, and D'Andre Swift in back to back weeks. Judkins has 35 carries over his last two games, and Sleepy J credits Todd Monken's run scheme for his growth.

    Wide Receivers: Sleepy J backs Carnell Tate over 50.5 receiving yards against the Houston Texans after a nine catch, 145 yard game. Houston allows 207.5 yards per game to wide receivers and was just carved up by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Munaf takes Michael Wilson over 71.5 against the Detroit Lions, who allow 207.25 yards per game to receivers. Wilson has drawn 30 targets in his last two games with 89 and 95 yards, and with Detroit a 5.5 point road favorite in a 54.5 total, Arizona should be throwing.

    Tight Ends: Sleepy J's featured play is a FanDuel parlay at -180 with Trey McBride 6+ receptions and Sam LaPorta 4+ receptions. McBride has six or more catches in all four games, LaPorta has four or more in three of his last four, and both face defenses among the worst against tight ends. He also flags Mike Gesicki and Kenyon Sadiq overs once posted, with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins banged up. Munaf takes George Kittle under 58.5 receiving yards against a Seattle defense allowing just 29 tight end yards per game.

    Show notes

    Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 4 recap + MNF Preview and more. Underdogs took over NFL Week 4, and Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Sleepy J go game by game through every Sunday result on this Cash That Ticket Weekend Rewind. At 3:02 Munaf reveals dogs went 9 and 5 and 1 against the spread and 6 and 9 straight up, before the crew breaks down the Colts beating the Commanders 30 to 13 in London after Marcus Mariota left with a knee injury. At 6:52 the focus shifts to Buffalo, where Drake Maye threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns in a 29 to 26 Patriots upset, and Dave admits he is still not buying that New England is all the way back while Sleepy calls it a season saving win. At 14:06 Jacoby Brissett throws three interceptions as the Giants beat the Cardinals 36 to 24 and climb to 3 and 1. At 20:10 Kyle Monangai runs for 146 yards and two scores as the Bears beat the Jets, and the crew splits on whether Chicago deserves to be a road favorite at Green Bay, with Sleepy predicting Case Keenum could start at 27:33. At 29:04 the Jaguars upset the Bengals as Chase suffers a concussion and Higgins also goes down, and Dave reminds everyone that the team making the fewest mistakes usually wins. At 37:56 the Rams rally from a 20 to 10 halftime hole in Philadelphia behind Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams, and Sleepy names the banged up Eagles his biggest downgrade of the week. At 43:21 the Packers survive the winless Buccaneers and Jalon Daniels, and even Sleepy, a Green Bay fan, downgrades both teams. At 46:43 Lamar Jackson leaves with an ankle injury as Baltimore beats Tennessee, and Dave upgrades the Titans in defeat. At 51:24 CeeDee Lamb catches 17 passes as Dallas drops Houston to 0 and 4, and Sleepy jumps on the Titans plus 7 against the Texans next week. At 58:06 the Vikings stay perfect with an ugly win over Miami that Dave calls a C game victory. At 1:00:40 Kenneth Walker III runs for 177 yards as the Chiefs edge the Raiders 30 to 27, and both analysts upgrade Las Vegas in the loss while Kansas City deals with injuries to Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton. At 1:05:22 the 49ers beat Denver to reach 4 and 0, and the Broncos lose Pat Bryant, Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss. At 1:09:43 Seattle beats the Chargers as Justin Herbert throws two interceptions, and Dave and Sleepy disagree on the Chargers catching 3.5 against Denver. At 1:14:53 Bryce Young and Tetairoa McMillan, who caught 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns, torch the Lions on Sunday Night Football, and Sleepy targets plus money Cardinals receiver props against a Detroit secondary he calls absolutely brutal. At 1:20:54 the crew previews Falcons at Saints on Monday Night Football with New Orleans favored by 1.5 and a total of 47.5, leaning toward points, the Falcons team total, Tyler Shough passing props and Kendre Miller over his rushing yards.
