2 Weekend Bets, and 6 Must-Listen Betting Podcasts

This Week’s Betting Picks

Last Week: 2-0 | +1.85u

  • Quinshon Judkins u78.5 Rush Yds (-113) ✅ | The UNDERground Lab +.88

  • Broncos/Jets Under 43.5 (-105) ✅ / Locksmith +.97

2025 Record: 64-48 | +16.51u

The Broncos have really defended mobile QB’s well as they’ve held Fields, Jones, and Hurts under this line.

It makes sense because Joseph’s scheme is to cage the QB in and rely on pressure and containment to avoid scramble plays.

With the Giants receiving core down bodies, expect more emphasis defending the line of scrimmage where Skattebo and Dart love to make plays.

The field should also shrink for the Giants without a true vertical threat making the Broncos defense commit to stopping the run.

While USC brings a top-ranked offense, their efficiency drops on the road - especially in the red zone and on third downs - against physical, well-structured defenses like the Irish.

With poor weather expected in South Bend and both teams capable of extended drives, expect the Irish to force USC into longer possessions and field goals, driving this game under the 60.5 total.

Must-Listen Sports Betting Podcasts

Let’s be real.

The majority of sports betting content out there isn’t made by professional bettors.

Most of what's out there comes from creators who don't have true depth or insight into how the industry actually works, or, worst of all, those who are just trying to funnel you toward a paid product.

These podcasts are not that. At all.

I listen to every one of these religiously.

And if you're serious about sports betting, or even just curious about the gambling world, you'll be hooked after one episode.

These hosts get it. They understand the process, variance, edges, and what actually matters when it comes to betting.

Here are the shows worth your time and attention:

Risk of Ruin

I'm crowning Risk of Ruin as my "Top Overall" gambling podcast, but it's very far from the average podcast you'll listen to in this space.

Episodes play like a documentary, weaving each interview with narration and real stories from the gambling world.

It's not about "winning picks."

It’s about understanding how the sharpest thinkers in betting approach risk, edges, and life itself.

Why you'll like it:

  • Original, in-depth, and impeccably produced

  • Goes far beyond surface-level betting talk

  • Offers rare insights into how professional gamblers/sports bettors actually think and operate
