Speaker 1: Hello there everyone. My name is Dan Harris, and if
Speaker 1: you are a fan of pretty much any of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Bros. Podcasts, then you already know me. I'm the
Speaker 1: host of the Leading Off Fantasy Baseball podcast, the sometimes
Speaker 1: host of the Weekly Fantasy Bros. Baseball podcast, and the
Speaker 1: host of the Sunday Night Fantasy Bros. Football Podcast. Now,
Speaker 1: you might be thinking, but I am listening to none
Speaker 1: of those podcasts at the moment. Well, that is a
Speaker 1: fair point, and I admire your attention to detail. The
Speaker 1: reason for that is that you are listening to a
Speaker 1: new podcast, the Betting Pros NFL Podcast, and it's something
Speaker 1: we're pretty excited about. And my guess is if you
Speaker 1: come along with us, you're going to be too. Right now,
Speaker 1: already about twenty percent of states are taking sports bets,
Speaker 1: and that number is going to jump to about thirty
Speaker 1: three percent by the end of the year. And if
Speaker 1: you think playing fantasy football is fun, wait until Damian
Speaker 1: Williams catches his fifth ball of the game to win
Speaker 1: you you're over under prop bet on how many catches he'll
Speaker 1: have that week against the Broncos, or when the Rams
Speaker 1: and Saints win you the over on whatever preposterously high
Speaker 1: total your local sports book has set, or when Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers there's a late and probably unnecessary touchdown pass to
Speaker 1: Devontae Adams to cover the spread for you against the Lions.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You're a responsible person. Before you
Speaker 1: make any lineup decision for your fantasy football team. You're
Speaker 1: doing your research, you're checking your rankings, You're putting your
Speaker 1: energy into ensuring that whatever decision you're making that week,
Speaker 1: you've got a good reason to do so. And do
Speaker 1: you think that we're going to let you wander into
Speaker 1: the wilderness of NFL sports betting without proper guidance. No,
Speaker 1: of course we're not. And that's why we've created Betting Pros,
Speaker 1: and that's why we're doing this podcast this week during
Speaker 1: the NFL season. We're gonna have sports betting experts on
Speaker 1: and together we're gonna break down some of our best
Speaker 1: bets for that week's game. We'll talk about bets against
Speaker 1: the spread, over unders, prop bets, the works. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get concrete, actionable advice from people who are pretty much
Speaker 1: focused on the NFL twenty four to seven, and we're
Speaker 1: not gonna wait until the regular season begins to get
Speaker 1: started because there's plenty of action to be had right now.
Speaker 1: So here's the schedule. Beginning next week, we'll be doing
Speaker 1: one episode per week in August. Throughout the preseason, we're
Speaker 1: gonna cover our favorite over underwin totals who we like
Speaker 1: at their current odds to win the division or make
Speaker 1: the playoffs, as well as individual player bets for the season.
Speaker 1: We might even dip into preseason game betting or even
Speaker 1: just some sports betting one oh one. But when the
Speaker 1: regular season comes, we're gonna bump that to two episodes
Speaker 1: per week. In the first, we'll examine the early lines
Speaker 1: for the following week's games, and in the second, we'll
Speaker 1: focus on our best bets of the week. That's it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be well informed, you're gonna hear from some
Speaker 1: of the best in the business, and if I do
Speaker 1: my job right, you're going to be entertained and win
Speaker 1: some money. So we'll be back next week with our
Speaker 1: first guest of the season, my good friend Mike Tagliere,
Speaker 1: to get you started on what is going to be
Speaker 1: the best NFL season of your life. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you then
