 This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network I am pretty pumped for week number eight in the NFL looking ahead right now. The schedule does not look too shabby They're not a lot of high scoring games, but there are some pretty fun Interesting games on the schedule. Unfortunately Most of them are not in prime time as those spreads are all eight and a half as of right now But still pretty fun week ahead. We're gonna dive into week eight later on I'll talk about where my model is showing value for this week over a Fandall sportsbook But first we're talking about the futures market I dig into the Baltimore Ravens discuss whether they have the ceiling to take down the whole kitten caboodle this year with Ryan Williams and get his reading the futures market for this week This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and Fandall research My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a managing editor of digital media for Fandall research Joined here as mentioned by Ryan Williams check them out on Twitter at Ryan Alexander underscore w Ryan heading into week number eight. How you doing today? Man week eight. We're almost to the midway point of the season. I can't believe it Jim. It feels like we just started It's ridiculous, but no, I'm feeling I'm feeling good, man I'm feeling good about you know what our picks last night I'm feeling good about, you know, the state of the state of the slate for week eight And we got some some midseason Picks to to be able to do second next week for the people. So it's all it's all good stuff happening over here Covering the spread. Yeah, you kind of saved the podcast last week because I had a pretty bad week seven So luckily you were able to swoop in and kind of salvage things at the last second Thank you for that as always saving my skin there But yeah, I think that week eight is setting up pretty well pretty fun games there and like you said I think there's some value out there to be had entering weekend We're talking about the Ravens Specifically and you talk about their outlook here in just one second the first a reminder to make sure you're subscribed To covering the spread wherever you get your podcast You can find us on Apple podcast Spotify wherever you get your podcast if you like what you hear leave us a five-star rating on Apple podcast or Spotify. You can also find us on the Fandall YouTube page and Fandall TV plus Let's start things off here Ryan by talking about the Baltimore Ravens huge win for them over The Detroit Lions this past week and as things stand right now the Ravens Super Bowl odds are 12 to 1 So when you look at this Ravens team What to you is their ceiling like are we talking them as a consideration to win the whole thing or are they more so? Divisional markets conference markets. Where do you think we're looking at for the ceiling of this Baltimore team? Yeah, I mean the the divisional market Is one that you think is pretty much theirs to lose I mean even right now there they're still minus 105 and you know how often that or how much I've been talking about the Cincinnati Bengals Which you know as far as like Shots in the dark to think I think they're one of the the better ones Just knowing how many divisional matchups are left in the AFC north But yeah, I think right now the Baltimore Ravens they kind of control their own destiny You know, they're not talked about in the same breath as you know Like a Buffalo Bills the Kansas City Chiefs the Cincinnati Bengals the Miami Dolphins for this year if you will but this this team You know in shout out to you know, Todd Monk and you know, let's give the guys some credit We were all kind of talking about oh, it's gonna be a different look offense We're gonna see you know more explosive plays and things like that The way the season kind of started for them You know it wasn't coming to fruition, but now you see that you know come through where Lamar You know, he's throwing for over 300 yards as a passer I believe he was maybe he was right behind my home's because my home's had like his the Lamar's yard It's total like halfway through the third quarter But you know for Lamar to be able to put up 350, you know throw for three touchdowns rush for a touchdown I have a passer rating over 150. We talked about him a couple weeks ago You know being being a good value to be MVP and now you're looking at him seven to one to win the MVP race Like that's how quickly these things can change when you know teams are coming into the forefront and so yeah I think for me the ceiling I Still don't know if I'm ready to place them as the AFC representative in the Super Bowl You know even at the at the 12 to 1 odds that seem kind of favorable six to one to win the AFC I'm sorry, it's 12 to 1 to win the Super Bowl It is looking like if this defense the defense really is the one that I'm looking at they can stay healthy and on the field They are going to cause problems for teams and you know, just the fact that Zay flowers is getting going We're hoping that OBJ can stay healthy for for Baltimore He seems to be kind of like a security blanket for Lamar when Mark Andrews isn't open But you know, they they're gonna figure out the running back situation There's still like moves to be made to Jim that can like change up landscapes as we haven't like yet got to the trade deadline And so I'm interested to see how that kind of shakes out not to say that Baltimore may or may not be in the mix But like, you know, I'm thinking of teams where you know running backs are available And like if they could trade if they traded for a guy who was like a slam dunk play that would be crazy So I love this Baltimore team. I love the attraction that we've been getting on them all season right now I think for this week, we're gonna hold back, but it would not surprise me to see them You know when a game or two on the playoffs for sure And I think that I'm on board with you where I think that they're properly kind of for in the market But I think that if I were to give a counterpoint here to myself I mean saying that I'm not interested at 12 to 1 just now If I look at my model and run it without a prior and priors do still matter even at this point in the year That's still small samples, but like if I look at just 2023 data The Ravens rank sixth in my offensive power rankings and third on defense and that's with all the injuries They've had like that's not giving them a bump up for the guys like Ronnie Stanley Tyler Linderbaum Odell Beckham Rashad Bateman Marlott Humphrey like all these guys who have missed time for them both offensively and defensively They're still in the top six in both numbers. So overall they rank second for me right now again Just for 2023 behind the 49ers. So I think that'd be the counterpoint is that they can kind of hang with those top-end teams Because of what they've done so far this year in a year where they've had a lot of injuries and a lot of weird luck So I think they're at least worth a consideration at 12 to 1 I have not taken this myself and probably will not but I'm at least More interested Ryan than I thought I'd be before I dug into what the data was saying Yeah, I I think that they are, you know, I Definitely like their chances to go a little bit further than Miami Miami's just had such an easy road to the schedule like this Baltimore team and we talked about before like the the games early on the season They could have been looking at being undefeated, you know being in the close matchups and just Brad bricks going their way but Yeah, they're definitely they're definitely in the mix I just feel like that the top teams right now are the top teams for a reason and I'm gonna, you know, keep keep the respect there for now I'll be doing the exact same thing Okay, let's talk about other teams who saw their stock rise across week seven Ryan beyond Just Baltimore who got the biggest boost for you based on what we saw from week seven and before that as well Yeah, let's talk about the Atlanta Falcons right now, which I guess it's gonna be kind of two-fold for me because it talks about another team I'm gonna talk about another team in the NFC or NFC South that is downgrade for me but the Atlanta Falcons, you know, they're just kind of going out there and you know When I guess winning games every other week But they're kind of winning the games that they you know should be winning the commander's loss that they had two weeks ago Is it's a tough one? It's a tough pill to swallow there, but these teams that are in the NFC South are not separating themselves From from the Atlanta Falcons anyway shape or form, you know, the Carolina Panthers They're they're basically out of it like there's no no shot to take them at 60 to one Even where things stand the New Orleans Saints talk about later Tampa Bay Buccaneers kind of same type of thing There's plus 100 to win the South like I feel pretty good about that They have one of the easier if not the easiest schedules in the NFL like remaining They get to play the Titans the Falcons the Cardinals the Saints the Jets the Bucks the Panthers and then the Colts And then the Bears and Saints to round up the season like I'm throwing up these teams These are not, you know, playoff teams playoff caliber teams winning teams So they kind of control their own destiny again in the South and I do like them to win some of these games here Is they have, you know, I'm looking at four four actually four and four foreign Home games and five road games To finish out the season, but you know, we've shown that they have the propensity to win on the road as they just did in Tampa So I like this team. I like what Arthur Smith is doing there I like that the way the defense is playing, you know, Desmond Ritter Can keep can keep things afloat here You like to see that the guy the guys in the offense and that's the passing game Don't know what's going on the rushing game passing game at least is getting going We hope that Bijon will be able to get things going here soon. So I like the Falcons outlook Plus 100 to win the NFC South Yeah, you mentioned their schedule and their schedule probably gonna get easier too as the week goes along because it seems like Ryan Tannehill is trending towards not playing in Week number eight and based on what we saw from a leak Willis last year in that very short action before after Tannehill got hurt a couple weeks ago to and Based on the fact that Will Leviss has not taken that spot over yet That's a pretty big downgrade for Tennessee if Tannehill cannot go in this matchup with Atlanta So again another boost for them even in a an overall easier schedule now. I'm not gonna say They're a lot to be the Mike Vrable team because Vrable does some really weird stuff when he's back into a corner So maybe they'd still want to being okay But they do benefit there from a schedule perspective as well. They mentioned the Saints They're plus 175 right now to win the NFC South. They're coming off of tough tough loss of the Jaguars And I think the concerning thing Ryan at that matchup was the defense because the offense has been with is and it did show Some life there, but the defense has been pretty rock solid. They were not once they finally faced a pretty good offense there So since like you're down the Saints as well entering week number eight Yeah, they just They just don't look good Jim They just don't look good in any capacity structure form I guess I shouldn't disrespect Alvin Camero like that because he had been Disrespected coming into all the season and he's just you know out there In pretty much, you know being being the Swiss Army knife out of the backfield as we know him to be With his you know crazy reception totals That are that are pretty much on pace to break, you know a lot of records out of the backfield there But other than that Derek Carr, I don't know I mean the stuff that he's doing on the sidelines, you know reacting to Crystal Lave Possibly not running the right route, but you could just you know He's not been able to keep his composure there for quite some time a quite the past couple weeks And that's just not a Derek Carr that we're used to seeing from the Raiders So I just think like the the stuff that's happening like maybe off the field is kind of transitioning onto the field You're saying the defense as well, too Given up some points now I will say the one caveat about the Saints as well is that they do have a pretty, you know Easy schedule as well for looking at the out of Division opponents or out of conference opponents as well for the Atlanta Falcons, you know That still carries some weight to the same similar team in the same division So they do have some chances, but I just have not seen it yet and I'm not willing to you know Put put any stock into this team that really has just shown struggles time and time again And are kind of basically getting by by their namesake like we're not used to seeing the Saints struggle in this capacity And I feel like you know people are people are giving them the benefit of the doubt But the doubts creeping engine doubts creeping it's it's definitely there for sure And it's concerning because I did like the Saints can be into this year I thought that Derek Carr Coming in to be an upgraded Randy Dalton and you know so far the offense has struggled Is it because of Carr's shoulder injury or something else? I don't know offensive line of struggle for sure But like whatever the reason is it has not been good for sure for the Saints and that is a Pretty big issue for them going forward. Any other futures you're targeting entering week number eight Ryan Yeah, we're gonna go We're gonna go back to the to the squad here with with the Buffalo Bills and You know, I know that most people will say stock down for them I just I just still believe in the talent. I still believe in you know, the offense in defense of prowess and When you're looking at the Miami Dolphins there who are the favorite by you know A pretty wide margin there at being minus 160 compared to plus 175 for the bills to win the AMC East like the Miami Dolphins have Not beaten anybody with a winning record, you know They got boat race by Buffalo In their same division the Eagles pretty much controlled the whole state of that game And I just feel like the Miami Dolphins will they'll get healthy on defense like they're they're pretty fragile here Like they they are, you know, they're I don't know if they're made to stand the test of time So to speak but Buffalo's been there before I still trust in I still trust in what midtermic does I still trust in Alan even though, you know, he's been turned over prone as of late But I'm still wanting to take shots on the Buffalo Bills where I can and then similarly in that same vein The running back situation for the bills is just absolutely atrocious And you know, I know you've talked about James Cook a time time in the time again And I'm not saying that the dude can play They're just not utilizing these backs and the way that you would expect like Latavius Murray has been talked about Of getting some run and that just is like worrisome knowing how old Latavius Murray is So when we go into the futures and I'm looking at it to pull it up I believe he's 12 to 1 and that's Steph Von Diggs to lead the league in receiving guards He's, you know, kind of he's a little bit far behind Tyree Kill even that much further behind AJ Brown But at 12 to 1 to you know, lead the league and receiving yards, you know This guy is capable of putting up, you know, a hundred yards per game for the rest of the season type of thing You know barring no any injuries and and he really is just a guy like Dawson Knox is now banged up Gabe Davis has not been able to get going. No other receivers their Dalton Kincaid is probably The second favorite target for Josh Allen if we're going forward So I do like getting some action on Steph Von Diggs there I think the other thing that's beneficial for that and it might not work out well for the bills division laws Which I do like I agree with you where I think that they're a good value there But I think that benefits to find digs in this market is that those defense is very banged up And they're probably gonna be in more shootouts this year than what they've had in previous years as a result of that So when you're in more shootouts that force is more throwing that forces more back and forth affairs That's how you get like true upside in these markets now digs currently is 678 receiving yards Tyree Kill is 902 So Pretty big lead there, but there is a long way to go things can happen Yeah, I think that's a very interesting bet Ryan both because it's digs But also because again, I think this defense having all the injuries is gonna force the bills to be a bit more aggressive And they've shown that when they get in shootouts the guy they're gonna lean on is to find it Yeah, absolutely, and this is a guy who I believe has finished top three and two of the past four seasons Did finish one in 2021 2020 2020 one of those two seasons I have to go back and look it up through through my notes But I say that to say he's been in the mix since joining the Buffalo Bells And you know, well, let's put some respect on his name at being 12 to 1 the other one that I think Is interesting if we're if we're looking forward and it doesn't feel that great right now as it stands, but I'm still gonna maybe go back to the Chargers Making the playoffs It's two to one right now 205 I believe that's what we have it on the Fandall Sportsbook And they just when you're looking at their schedule like they do have a lot of winnable games coming up They're you know, they're gonna have to play the Lions in three weeks They're also gonna have get to play the Ravens, but at home And then they're gonna play the bills But also that game is at home and then they get a chiefs game at home So, you know, they just lost on the road to the cheese a tough match up for them as well But playing against teams like the Jets the Packers the Patriots the Raiders the Broncos twice They do still have some merit and with seven teams making the playoffs like we could see Them turn the tide Especially, you know, if they're if they're able to get things going here I know the defense has kind of been a little bit concerning But they were in that game with the Cowboys on Monday night two weeks ago They really have only lost game, you know, they've been in one score games pretty much all season They lost the Dolphins by two week one Lost the Titans in overtime by three. This team has kind of been in the mix So I'm willing to take a shot on them to potentially make the playoffs there at 205 It is very painful, but you are likely correct. I'm still trying to get over the Chargers did that game against Dallas that Very very annoying game and like I do still have again the Chargers inside the top ten of my power rankings both in the model That includes the prior still and if I look at just 2023 But I don't want to do it. I I'm just so I've been so burned by this team so many times and like The justification the excuse I'll use is a Mike Williams injury But like honestly Ryan it is just because my feelings are hurt like that's the only reason I'm not I'm not buying it this team is just my feelings are hurt Although I did bet them for sorry week eight against the Bears. I did lay the points in the Tyson-Bajan game So I guess I'm not totally off the Chargers. Unfortunately, it's at the expense of your Bears, but hey helps the draft pick, right? Hey, you got to do you got to do what you got to do with the models Tony, Jim That's right. Well, that's exactly what we'll do in just a bit We'll take a look here to week eight lines the first Ryan want to thank you for swinging by for today as always Good luck to you in week number eight We'll talk to you once again Monday to talk about Jared Goff and the Raiders for Monday night football next week.

It's the Cowboys at home coming off a buy And those things do matter quite a bit But I think this number overall undersells the Rams the Rams offense has faced a really tough string of defenses and they grade out well offensively once you make the adjustment for the opponent's safe face They rank ninth in my offensive power rankings after adjusting for schedule. That's ignoring all priors Whereas Dallas is just 18th. That's kind of funky and I think that gap will tighten as the year goes along But the Rams have played well so far and at least on offense. They're still relatively healthy Even when you account for the Cowboys by week my motto makes this spread at 3.1 points So quite a bit of value at six and a half. It is minus 115 at fanduel So make sure you're counting for that as well because minus 115 is pretty decent price to pay But that is also why I'll take a bite at the money line as well the implied odds the plus 225 or 30.8% My model is Rams at 38.4 to win this game So again layering this bet where I put you put enough on the spread In order to profit should they cover but then put some on the money line as well in order to Give yourself upside should the Rams wind up winning this game outright. So to me I think the Rams are the preferred side of this game. I do feel pretty good about them And mok with the Rams plus six and a half and a bit on the money line at plus 225 Second bet of the week is going to be in a pretty gross game I mean, I'm kind of excited for it because I like watching this Jets offense Now that they're actually willing to trust Zach Wilson, but I actually want to bet on the opposing side That is a new york giants who are currently plus three at fanduel sportsbook. Uh, that is minus 115 and I think that the giants are a bit undervalued for the second consecutive week talked about that with that last week against the commanders they won that game outright and I think they're undervalued here now The two factors to consider here is that a this is a neutral field because it is an east east or otherford I care about travel and there's no travel for the Jets different locker room I guess might not be on different locker, but by the way no travel for the Jets So no home field advantage and the Jets are coming out there by Whereas the Giants played last week So a couple of bumps up for the Jets in what is in theory in a way game I'm guessing that this number is as heavily in favor of the Jets is because the Jets have had I would say improvements on offense ever since they switched to this let it rip as philosophy on the offensive side before they're by where Nathaniel Hackett is letting Zach Wilson throw in early downs, which he should do because if you want to You know send your quarterback into a tailspin a very good way to do so is having him throw exclusively odd late downs in bad situations They're letting him actually be an advantageous spots now and the offense has looked better Even though if you look at just those three games with this new approach Wilson's that negative point oh two passing that expected points per drop back again NEP is number fires expected points model league average tends to be around point one It's been lower this year But regardless Wilson has been below average even when you look at just three three games with this new approach now That's a better number than where he was at before and it does help that he Faced a chase with defense and there has played very very well So it's a it's a decently impressive mark from Zach Wilson But it's also still not the model of efficiency On the giant side of things they seem likely to get left tackle Andrew Thomas back this week after a pretty long absence That's a boost up for them, especially against a very good defensive line I honestly don't care whether it's daniel jones or charade taylor Probably maybe that's wrong. I don't know but like you know charades played pretty well so far So i'm okay not making a huge adjustment based on who plays quarterback for the giants And if anything it'd be an upgrade of jones were able to go Which would help the model a bit here Which does view this game as basically a toss-up I do the jets as slight favorites here, but not enough to justify Laying three points in this situation. So I like the giants plus three that is minus 115 at fan dual sports book and you could take their money line of plus 130 again because I do use the pretty tight game the reason i'm inclined to take the points is because the total here is so low it's 36 and a half and When you get points in a very low total game And you're showing value there. I think that's pretty hard to turn down my model actually does do this total as being justifiable I've got a 36.3 and it's a 36 and a half so low total We're getting points I think that all aligns well where the giants are a good value for this week and plus three again That's minus 115 at fan dual sports book final bet I want to mention for this week or final money line or spread I want to mention for this week is In a game that i'm pretty jazzed for that is the pittsburgh stealers hosting the jacksonville jaguars Now if you listen to this show a lot since the start of last year You're probably gonna think that i'm on the jags here because i've been on the jags a lot and it's been very profitable and very fun but I think this is a bit too low on pittsburgh given how well they played If I look at my model that ignores priors so not looking at Expectations coming into this year pittsburgh ranks 21st in my offensive power rankings despite playing without deontae johnson for most of the year That is a worse mark than jacksonville to be sure the two defenses have actually been pretty similar so far this year And that's a compliment to the jags because the steward's defense is very good So to me it is clear that jacksonville is a better team in this matchup I just don't know if they're better enough to justify Being two and a half point road favorites against a team that has played pretty solid football so far this year So again I view this as being a pretty close matchup between these two teams and we're getting plus 128 on the stealers in this spot I think that's enough to justify buying in to pittsburgh here Do I want to buy into a team that is probably going to get some buzz this week because they beat the rams? Not really You know, it could mean that they're overvalued in this spot, but at least based on just my model I think pittsburgh is a good value of plus 128 to win this game So it pains me to bet against my jags in this spot But I'm going to follow me where the numbers tell me to go Or follow where the numbers tell me to go and they tell me to go on the stealers here a plus 128 So I'm going to take that personally for this one Final bet for me is on monday night football. That is between the raiders and the lions We're right now the total in this game is 44 and a half And i'm going to take the over on that one at bandwell sports because i'm showing a lot of value on that side of things It's at 45 in most spots and I think it should be at 45 at vandal as well I think it's there for good reason Although the pace in this game is pretty low and that does matter quite a bit Both offenses can move the ball when they're healthy. I'm expecting jimmy garoppolo to play here and Even with the the interceptions he has thrown this year garoppolo has still been efficient when healthy He's been above league average when he's been healthy so far this year the lions Got torched by the ravens last week kind of know what other way to put it, but I don't think that's a huge long-term concern for them. They're back at home here facing a lesser defense than the ravens And they're indoors, which is a benefit as well So my model actually puts the total for this game at 49.8 in part because it does show the lions covering in this game And if they're going to cover an eight and a half point spread There kind of has to be a lot of points scored in the game So I do show value in the over here 49.8 again is my number Before it gets to 45. I would want to take it. I'd take it at 45 to honestly because I'd still show a good amount of value there I think you could also consider parlaying The lions with the spread here with the over on the total here I would note that if you're doing this at fan duel, they know that those two bets are correlated to Get to over 44 and a half points and you're betting a team to cover an eight half point spread So that's why if you parlay them it's plus 235 They're not dummies. They know what they're doing. So like you're not going to pull one over on them by doing that But I do think there is a bit of value there both those bets individually Are values based on my model and they do correlate pretty well also So I'm not opposed to that with the lions, but we'll go with for today Over 44 and a half minus 115 at fan duel sportsbook So the four bets I am on for this week in week number eight are going to be the lions raiders over 44 and a half minus 115 the sewers moneyline plus 128 the giants plus three against the jets at minus 115 And the rands plus six and a half With a sprinkle on the rands moneyline as well at plus 225 against the dallas cowboys That's going to close up shop before the week eight first look before we dive into or weeks week eight first look Before we dive a close-up shop for today overall We got to go back to last week and recap recommendations from here on the show And like I said rough week for the podcast overall ed fang I was a guest here on the college football and NFL side of things find ed on twitter at the power I could check out his work at the power right dot com ed went one-on-one for this week Like penn state a lot in that game against ohio states He said to either take them plus four and a half take their team total over 20 and a half or take the over For the game at 45 and a half against ohio state ohio states defense continued to play Very good football they've done that in a small sample, but like they keep doing it So kudos to them for the win. They won that game 20 to 12. So Hopefully it took just one route to this game But either way all three of those routes did not get there So good win for ohio states and no win on the college side of things Ed though did like the giants plus three against the commanders. They won that game outrights I mentioned that I was on that one as well. I did like it Quite a bit didn't really understand why the commanders were getting that much love But the giants played well to rod taylor again playing pretty well And I think that does how we feel better about taking them Against the jets in week number eight again follow Ed fang on twitter at the power rank We had JJ Zachary's not to talk some player props last week JJ is on twitter at late round qb find his work at late round com and the late round fantasy football podcast JJ was due for some regression because he's been really good so far this year One in three for the week the hit was isaia pacheco over 14 and a half receiving yards at minus 114 Pacheco, I think at 28 yards, but also a touchdown through the air. So Doubled up his receiving yardage prob there. This is where christian watson were 53 and a half receiving yards He got hurt pretty late in that game not sure if it impacted this one, but did get hurt at some point there Chris godwin anytime touchdown He's going to score eventually His usage is too good not to then puke and nikua hadn't uh jj had him for anytime touchdown But nikua went nuts So Unfortunate week from a results perspective, but I think the process was definitely there for JJ Again follow him on twitter at late round qb mentioned that ryan did well in last night's game That does include the spread he liked the vikings plus six and a half against the 49ers And of course they won that game outright so good call By ryan there ryan and I both liked the over in that game at 43 obviously that did not hit Looked for a bit like it might but uh that turnover late by the 49ers offense prevented things from getting there That was a 43 And the under hit on that one Player props went very well for ryan. He had george kittle over 47 half receiving yards that hits he had kittle Uh that five plus receptions at plus 132 that hit as well Did not get the kittle anytime touchdown, but getting the plus 132 on five plus receptions was good for ryan for sure He had tj hawkinson over 49 and a half receiving yards that one hit as well pretty early in that game kj osborne didn't do a ton but did go over 41 and a half receiving yards I think he had 47 so that one hit too Then one mr ryan and the player props was juan jennings for anytime touchdown That was plus 480 jennings did play a pretty good role in this game, but no touchdown there So overall really good day uh from ryan On the show last night again follow ryan at ryan alexander underscore w Rough week for me one and three in the nfl side of things I had the dolphin's money line at the lion's money line and the bucks minus two and a half and The lions and dolphins money lines both moved against me and they should have because those were bad recommendations that did not hit, uh, so Probably bad process and bad results there, which at least makes you feel a bit better Better than losing when you had good process bucks minus two and a half I I don't know the falcons fumbled twice towards the goal line They probably should have won by more than they did so it felt like it was close But honestly probably didn't deserve that one either the one hit felt good about this one of the broncos packers under 45 That one pretty comfortably under so uh the hit was good, but Overall rough we can look into bunts uh bouts back in week number eight Nascar would did not go well either uh in the truck series. I christian ecas 9 to 1 to win there He had a speeding penalty had another penalty earlier on that race So kind of shot himself in the foot uh throughout that race did not win there I had austin hill at 9 to 1 and chanler smith 11 to 1 next finity smith had some issues pretty early on that race He had a wreck and I think blew up uh later on Hill was 9 to 1 but couldn't quite catch sam mayer mayer was very very fast late in that race rally herps is fast too once again so No win for austin hill or chanler smith in the cup series at elks bowman plus 170 Uh to finish top 10 bowman was pretty fast and looked good in practice So I felt good about this bet going into the race and showed a lot of value on it on sunday morning as well But he got I don't know his first run was kind of weird and got pinned to lap down never really could make up for it I think he might have had a initial in pit road too So he got back in the lead lap late, but didn't really have a shot to uh cash that bet So rough week overall probably worked at worst week i've had so far this year But we'll see how things go in week number eight That's all we got here for today on covering the spread one to give a big thank you once again to Ryan williams our guest check him out on twitter at ryan alexander underscore w I am on twitter at jim sonnis j i m s a n n e s You can also follow me on threads at jim dot sonnis and check out fan dual research at fan dual research We are back once again tomorrow talking college football week number nine We'll hope to talk to all of you that this has been covering the spread right here on the fan dual podcast network
