We have a phenomenal weekend of college football on the horizon, so who better to break it down with than Sports Cheetah of WagerTalk.com?

Tuesday was a cause for celebration on BangTheBook Radio because Sports Cheetah once again joined us for the Hunting for Winners segment. Host Adam Burke was certainly excited as we got back to normal here on BangTheBook Radio with one of our favorite guests and one of the most successful bettors in the industry. On this week's show, the guys covered a couple of listener questions from last week regarding buying points and buying back or middling so we could get the math perspective on those two things. The guys looked at a ton of games, with Washington State vs. Cal, Florida State vs. Duke, Michigan vs. Indiana, Utah vs. USC, Navy vs. Memphis, and Auburn vs. LSU. The amount of thought that goes into handicapping games is something that most people probably take for granted, but not us, and especially not Cheetah, so this was a great segment for anybody that wants to be serious about betting.

They'll also touch on some NFL with Chargers vs. Giants and Packers vs. Cowboys. Wes Reynolds joins us for the Wednesday Wagering with Wes Reynolds segment, as the guys dig deep into Week 5 of the NFL. They'll discuss the Thursday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as the Jaguars vs. the Steelers and the Chiefs vs. the Texans. Wes is a smart, high-volume handicapper that knows how to look for edges and it is always good to get his input on the show.

Unfortunately, the great Sports Cheetah is unable to join us this week, but we found the best pinch hitter that we could and we're confident that you are going to be impressed. Collin Wilson, who joined us back in early August for some college football season win total stuff, was back on the program to fill the big shoes of Cheetah. This was a really solid segment that allowed us to get a different voice and a different perspective. Some listener questions, some thoughts on adjusting to conference play, and analysis on updating power ratings were all parts of the early portion of the segment. Game breakdowns included listener requests for Eastern Michigan vs. Toledo and Florida Atlantic vs. Old Dominion. The guys also talked about the big line movements between Duke and Virginia and also Miami and Florida State. They talked about San Diego State vs. UNLV and also Stanford vs. Utah in this segment as a couple of games that have a lot of betting intrigue, including some extra-added value for Collin on the UNLV

Then they'll look ahead to some Wednesday night Fun Belt action, Louisville vs. NC State, West Virginia vs. TCU, and Miami Florida vs. Flo
