Today I joined Raheem Palmer on The Ringer Gambling Show to talk about Week 2 of the NFL preseason, NFL Futures, and even a little NBA schedule release. It was a great conversation that results in a few preseason bets, a few Week 1/2 NFL Best Bets to get ahead of now, and even some very intriguing long shot futures. Give it a listen ⬇️
There was a Week 1 bet Raheem gave out that I emphatically agree with, and there is one remaining book with this number in the market. I’m going to share that now so you guys can get action on it, but listen to the show to hear the rest!
Miami Dolphins vs Jacksonville Jaguars Over 48.5 (-115, ESPNBet. 1.5units)
Raheem said his model has this game north of 50, and it hovers around the key number of 49. With books already pushing this total up to 49.5 and the possibility it reaches the 50s, this is absolutely worth taking now and making it a strong play. Miami is electric on offense when healthy, and have a new defensive coordinator on the other side. This game is the first week in September in Miami, the weather is of little concern this far out. The Fins were also a strong home team, the Jags a strong road team last year, and have a an easy in state travel spot from north Florida as they take their talents to South Beach.
This was also the front end of a home and home between our podcasts, as Raheem is joining me on The Advantage Sports Betting Podcast next week. We are going through 2024-25 NFL Rule Changes, and discussing how they make impact the game, the betting market, and maybe even certain teams/situations. That will be Tuesday at 12ET, I will send out a podcast or YouTube link next week!

The summer break for me is officially over- WNBA is back, NBA schedule is released (I already bet opening night games), NFL is about to be in full swing. I’ll remind you guys two things: 1. There is an ongoing “SUBSTACK” promo code to get $100 off the 4 month or full year packages, and I give everyone $50 back for simply leaving a review, and any referrals! 2. The intention behind a picks package was to generate revenue from how much work I do and value I provide in the gambling content space, but I don’t care to keep it super exclusive. Reach out to me and we can work out a price if the ones I’ve set are an issue.
