As we have been doing over the last few weeks, we're just filling an entire show with his brilliant mind, so Cheetah and host Adam Burke just went back and forth for over an hour on a bunch of different college football games, betting angles, and answers to some listener questions. How can you predict line movement? What is a sharp? Those were two burning questions from our listeners that we answered and then carried over to some game breakdowns and used some specific examples of lines that moved last week and lines that could move this week. As far as game breakdowns, there were three Big Ten games with Northwestern vs. Wisconsin, Nebraska vs. Illinois, and Iowa vs. Michigan State. We talked some USC vs. Washington State at the top of the show, hit the SEC with Mississippi State vs. Auburn, went in-depth on Memphis vs. UCF, and wrapped things up with Nevada vs. Fresno State.

We've got a lot of things to discuss on the Hump Day edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will get things started with professional handicapper Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com.

They'll dive into the MAC and look at Ohio vs. Eastern Michigan per listener request and also at Miami of Ohio vs. Central Michigan.

The guys will take a deep dive into the Rams vs. 49ers game on Thursday Night Football and a

It's Tuesday and you know what that means. Host Adam Burke was joined by Sports Cheetah for another full broadcast this week on BangTheBook Radio. We actually wound up keeping Cheetah a little bit longer this time around, but that's because Week 4 presents so many interesting handicapping angles. With free picks and betting tips, the guys went through a bunch of games on the card to talk about handicapping techniques, matchups, and more. Listener questions about adjusting spreads based on totals and about why getting the best number matters started off the show, as well as a discussion of how to treat the Florida teams that have not played since Week 1. Mississippi State vs. Georgia, Texas A&M vs. Arkansas, Wake Forest vs. Appalachian State, TCU vs. Oklahoma State, and Florida Atlantic vs. Buffalo were all discussed in depth, with other games making cameo appearances based on the spots or the line moves.
