Host 1
All right demonte, let's get to the stay aways for this week.
Host 2
Yeah, stay aways. We got teams on buys. Chiefs, Bengals, Cowboys, Titans. And the first day is Buffalo at Miami. Miami's nine point Dogs.
Host 1
All right, so here's the deal. Miami, Miami I think is the right side here. Let down spot for Buffalo. Miami played them closer than the score would indicate the first time they played. Miami also I, you know, is on extra rest having played on a Thursday. Miami also I thought actually moved the ball quite well against Baltimore. The problem is I thought Miami played well against Baltimore and got blown out and scored six points like I am. Just like the. The Dolphins are right now a very, very difficult team to put money on against good teams. Even though I think they are the right side in this game. So I definitely would not lay the nine with Buffalo. I'm staying away from it because I just think Miami's ex high leverage execution's been so bad. But Miami's the right side of this one.
Host 2
Next, Baltimore at Minnesota. Minnesota's four point dogs.
Host 1
I almost included Minnesota in this. I think Minnesota at home getting four with that defense and that coach I think is the right side. However, J.J. mcCarthy still scares me. Baltimore having extra rest and being obviously, you know, every game. Playoff.
Host 2
Lamar's not coming off his first game back either.
Host 1
Correct. And Lamar looked so good. You know, basically after the first quarter and a half I just felt like, man, you bet Minnesota, this thing could be 17 to 3 at halftime and you just feel dead. So the, I think Minnesota is the sharp side. Getting four with a great coach at home and a defense coming off a really good performance, but I just couldn't do it.
Host 2
Next, Cleveland at the Jets. Jets two point dogs.
Host 1
Yeah. So the jets are the right side of this. The jets were two point favorites and then they traded away their guys and it flipped. And the reality is trading away two defensive players shouldn't move the line four points. However, I am concerned that that other players on the jets are okay, season over. Yeah, season over. We're done. And so I can't as a matter of principle. And by the way, that's three straight home dogs. I can't bet Cleveland when I could have gotten them plus two at minus two. But I also am too anxious to put money on the jets until I see them play post these trades. So I'll stay away there.
Host 2
Next, New Orleans at Carolina. Carolina's five point favorites.
Host 1
I don't think Carolina has won a game as a favorite in four years.
Host 2
Be insane.
Host 1
Well, they're never crazy.
Host 2
Oh yeah.
Host 1
So it's a little misleading, but I do believe that's true. I also think they would be the right side of it. But if a team hasn't covered as a favorite in four years, then I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I feel like there.
Host 2
Are other games on the land.
Host 1
Yeah, there's other games. And also this is not the greatest process, but I liked games enough this week that it was okay. Ty can go to. I don't want to care about this game. I don't want to care about this game at all. So I just stay away.
Host 2
Next we got Arizona at Seattle. Seattle, six and a half point favorites.
Host 1
I almost included Seattle. Arizona is just frisky enough with Jacoby that I kept it as a stay away. But Seattle's really good. Seattle is laying less than a touchdown. Seattle can be a prolific offense. Seattle is on a tiny rest edge because Arizona played Monday night. But that the Cardinals have been in almost all their games this this year and the offense has looked good with Jacoby. They've gotten Marvin more involved. So I'll stay away. But I did look long and hard at Seattle.
Host 2
Next we got Rams at San Francisco. San Francisco is four and a half point dogs.
Host 1
So the sharp side of this I'm certain is San Francisco. And if you're going to play a side here, you almost have to play San Francisco. A great coach at home against a team he has a lot of success against getting more than a field goal. However, I really believe the Rams are going to win. And so I'm basically saying I think this is going to be a 1, 2, 3 or 4 point Rams win if I, if I believe they're going to win. And I bet San Francisco so I'll stay away from it. But I know the right side of this game is San Francisco. I feel very confident in that.
Host 2
Next Detroit at Washington. Washington's eight point dogs.
Host 1
This is where gambling can be tough and where maybe my process is bad. This should be a Detroit smash spot.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
Because Washington is. It's Mariota. Their season's done. Detroit just lost. But I just laid eight points with Detroit and they lost outright and got that bet was dead immediately. I don't want to do it again. I that's probably dumb. I should probably just swallow the eight points with Detroit but instead I'm staying away. Next one.
Host 2
Philly at Green Bay. Green Bay's two point favorites. Yep. You kind of talked about them on the show yesterday and you ended up being a stay away. Which way were you leaning before?
Host 1
I was leaning Philly. Philly off a buy healthy. You know it feels like Philly getting points is a great spot.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
And what kept me away from it is the desperation disparity where Philly their players saw Washington season and Dallas's season end last week and Green Bay on the other hand knows how much they need it. So I that was enough to just have it be a stay away. But I think Philly getting points is a against basically anyone in the NFC is almost a must bet but not quite.
Host 2
I imagine Jalen hurts led team is still very focused after this buy. A lot of desperation.
Host 1
Yeah I no I, I do. I agree. I just think so. Again that's why I'm staying away. But I like the Philly side of it all Right. Damanze all our lines from Hard Rock Bet we've got five games here. Let's go to the first one.
Host 2
First off, you've got Atlanta plus six and a half versus Indy.
Host 1
Yeah. So this was Atlanta minus or plus five and a half plus.
Host 2
This is also a Berlin game.
Host 1
Yes. For everybody Sunday morning. This is Atlanta plus five and a half before the Colts traded for sauce. That's stupid. That is a fans overreacting to a trade. A corner does not move the point the game a full point. It just doesn't. And so I'm getting a little extra value. I also feel like I know the Europe games favorites tend to win and win outright and cover. I think I know they went outright a lot. It feels like this is a one possession game. I do think that Atlanta's defense might be able to slow down a bit. That's prolific in the offense. I also feel like this indie team is different on turf on a fast track than it's going to be in Berlin. And I could see Atlanta winning. I certainly can see Atlanta having this game be tied at halftime or a four point game in the fourth quarter. Bijan's gotta get going. Drake London was awesome. Unbelievable this past week and I panics, worries me. But I'll take the extra point I'm getting because of the sauce trade and I'll take it. Laying a plus the six and a half. All right.
Host 2
Next Tampa Bay minus two and a half versus New England.
Host 1
Yeah, I think. I think New England's really good but Tampa I think is better. They are off a buy. The Patriots were flirting with a loss last week that you know, they are kind of due for a loss so to speak. Drake May is getting hit a ton of and he admitted some of that's on him. That concerns me a bit. Baker off a buy four and oh straight up as a favorite and six and four against the spread with extended rest with the Bucks Again I'm getting what I think is the better team and there's no disrespect to New England. The better team with the better quarterback at home off a buy at and I'm laying less than a field goal. So as good as New England's been, I think Tampa wins this game and I think Tampa wins this game by at least a field goal. So I've got Tampa minus two and a half.
Host 2
Next Jacksonville minus one at Houston.
Host 1
Yeah, this is just purely.
Host 2
Who has the better offensive line?
Host 1
Well, fading Davis Mills. I mean the Texans offense was awful with cj.
Host 2
I wasn't even Thinking about CJ Stroud not playing. Yeah. That being minus one for the Jags, I think is kind of crazy.
Host 1
Yeah. I mean, Davis Mills has started amazingly 25 games in his career. They're 519 and one in those games. And so the Jags defense is really good. I understand there it's, you know, a road divisional favorite. But the. The Broncos offense was awful this past week. Now, Houston's defense had something to do with it to their credit, but Houston could do nothing because CJ was out of the game and CJ's already been ruled out. So I'll just swallow the point with the Prince. It's bad for the Chiefs. By the way, if the Jags win this game, the Chiefs need one of those teams in the playoff picture to fall out. The Jags are the one most likely to do so, but I just think the Jags are the.
Host 2
Yeah, that line could have been minus three, three and a half. I feel like.
Host 1
With Davis, with Davis Mills being the quarterback, I'll just take Houston just to win. It's all I need at minus one. So I'll take Jacksonville next.
Host 2
Next you got Chicago minus three and a half versus the Giants.
Host 1
So I'm going to continue fading the Giants because my belief that the Giants season ended with that devastating Broncos loss has just been validated by their last two performances getting annihilated by the Eagles and getting beat by double digits by the Niners.
Host 2
Jackson want to say it, but he's hurt right now.
Host 1
Yeah, that's a great point.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
Jackson dart spanged up. Scatter. Boo's out, obviously, for the year. Neighbors has been out. Brian Dabel after starting 7 and 2 as a rookie head coach, they have started 2 and 7 each of the last three years. He's just always mad at everyone who should be mad at himself. And the Bears have. Have an explosive offense and by the way, a little benefit. This line is four and a half in most other places. It's three and a half at Hard Rock Bet.
Sponsor Voice (PayPal)
My.
Host 1
My theory on that, for the record, is Hard Rock Bet, obviously you can use it in Jersey, so Giants fans there. It's also the exclusive betting provider in Florida. A lot of New York transplants there's. So I think it has been bet down from four and a half plus four and a half to three and a half because all that money's coming in on the Giants. They're trying to get some Chicago money. We'll take advantage of it. Chicago minus three and a half. And I just don't trust the Giant Stevens right now and I think that their spirit was stolen in that Broncos loss. So I'll lay three and a half with Caleb now.
Host 2
Might be my favorite. Pittsburgh plus plus three at the Chargers.
Host 1
Yeah I the Chargers without Joe all against an all of a sudden one game but rejuvenated Steelers defense and I'm getting three points with Tomlin and so obviously the Steelers have to go east to west which is an ideal but I'll deal with it. Tomlin again 67, 40 and 4 against the spread as an underdog and the week after winning outright as a dog. He's 13, 6 and 2 against the spread. I think the chart, I think the Steelers win this game and if they don't I think it's a last second type of game. I'm getting three points. So our five games are Atlanta getting six and a half against Indy and Berlin, Tampa laying two and a half at home against the Patriots, Jacksonville laying one on the road against Houston, Chicago laying three and a half at home against the Giants and Pittsburgh getting the full three on the road against the Chargers. Oh one other thing about that Steelers game that's going to be a silent count game for the Chargers Damanze that's going to be all Steelers fans taking over SoFi in LA. And so that's the other piece that's not really a road game for them. All right, you think about upgrading to the all new iPhone 17 Pro.

Host 1
All right, pal, rough teaser. We. We, you know, we alluded to it. You had Detroit down to a pick them. They lost outright. You had the Chiefs getting six and a half. They lost by seven. You did have the Chargers down to a pick em. They won. I gave you an A. It was kiss it down.
Host 2
I don't think Detroit was covering at any point. Maybe when the game. Yeah, I don't think any point, but.
Host 1
They were never covering. Absolutely.
Host 2
Yeah. So this, this week, we're going with another three team eight point teaser. First off, we're going to tease Buffalo down to basically a pick them. We're teasing Cleveland. Yes, we're teasing Cleveland up to plus 6 and then I'm taking Philly to plus 10. Yeah, we, we gotta turn the ship. It's. It's getting rough. Four and five now. Five and five coming.
Host 1
Well, I've got, I've got good news for you. I'm gonna give this a C minus.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
Which is which when I give you bad grades, you tend to hit them. Just the Cleveland part of this. Cleveland was getting two. Now they're laying two. You're teasing through the zero. You're not getting the seven. I hate every piece of it. Buffalo I like in Philly. I like. I hate Cleveland leg.
Host 2
Yeah, I understand that. I understand that. But they're gonna go out there and take care of business. Come on, man. That defense just got deplet it a little bit. Need y' all to go in there and make it a game. Act like you get paid to do this. But yeah, I think this team's five and five coming up. I'm sure.
Host 1
I think I would have. Instead, I would have teased. If I were going to tease through the zero, I would have teased Jacksonville up to plus seven because I don't think Davis Mills is blowing anybody out.
Host 2
That's fair.
Host 1
Since I wouldn't tease through the zero, I think I would have teased Atlanta. No, because they could get blown out. I think I would have teased Pittsburgh up to plus 11. But listen, your teaser. You're fine.
Host 2
I'm riding it out.
Host 1
The teaser's been average. The picks have been average. What has not been average is this still undefeated. Touchdown Genie. Yes, I. Go ahead, pal.
Host 2
So last week you picked Josh Allen Anytime touchdown score at plus 100. And he got it. He cashed out.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Chiefs are on a buy this week, so is there anybody else around the league that's catching your eye? Anytime touchdown scorer.
Host 1
What is. Hold on. Yeah, I do have one Roma dun. No, it's none of. None of the ones listed. And I bet this is plus 200. What is manoon guy. Can you guys look that up? The Bears running back. What is he minus? He's minus 125. Oh, well, then I.
Host 2
We can't do that.
Host 1
I. I mean, I. I thought I was. I guess I'm not the only guy.
Host 2
You found the landscape.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
I was like, okay, that. That makes it tough. You know, let's just stay undefeated. We're going one guy minus 125. I like it. All right, what do we have for. What do we have for the offer?
Host 2
So you smartly declined the World Series offer last. Last. On. Yeah, last Thursday. Um, this week we are going within. We're going with your picks and going in the same game. Barley, Jonathan Taylor and Bijon Robinson to both score a touchdown at plus one. 35.
Host 1
I'll take it.
Host 2
You'll take that, though. Okay. Yeah, I don't. For two guys to score a touchdown at +1.35. I didn't know if that was, like, great odds, but it's because they're running back.
Host 1
Oh, it's. It's not. Yeah, I mean, it's. It's not, but it's just. They've been two of the most reliable touchdown scorers of the year. But you're right. I'm so proud of you. You're correct.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
I just thought you would, in theory, like better odds than that on these, but those.
Host 2
The.
Host 1
The anytime touchdown scorer bets are. Are tough to get sick odds on. But, yeah, I. I think they're both gonna score a Touchdown in Berlin.
Host 2
Lock it in.
Host 1
So I will take it. Jonathan Taylor and Bijan.

Featuring Nick Wright
Aired: November 8, 2025
Episode Focus: In-depth NFL Week 10 gambling/prediction show — Eagles-Packers, Rams-49ers, Bucs-Patriots, Ravens-Vikings, Steelers-Chargers and more.
This episode dives deep into NFL Week 10, with Nick Wright and co-host Damanze breaking down betting lines, sharing strategy, and dispensing takes on each matchup. The focus is both on direct picks and nuanced "stay away" games, using Hard Rock Bet's lines and statistical insights.
“Detroit minus eight and a half against Minnesota — they lose outright. Kansas City minus one and a half against Buffalo — they lose outright and get thoroughly outplayed... winners were pretty clear cut winners.”
— Nick Wright [04:04]
Nick and Damanze methodically run down the slate, identifying tricky matchups to avoid:
Bills at Dolphins: Miami’s high-leverage failures scare Nick off.
"The Dolphins are right now a very, very difficult team to put money on against good teams." — Nick [12:36]
Ravens at Vikings: Likes Minnesota +4, but fears Lamar Jackson’s form.
“Minnesota is the sharp side… but I just couldn’t do it.” — Nick [13:52]
Browns at Jets: Concern that Jets’ locker room may have ‘checked out’ after trades.
"I’m too anxious to put money on the Jets until I see them play post these trades." — Nick [14:50]
Saints at Panthers: Panthers haven’t won as a favorite in four years; not touching it.
“If a team hasn’t covered as a favorite in four years, then… I don’t want to care about this game at all.” — Nick [15:51]
Cards at Seahawks: Jacoby Brissett makes Cards “frisky enough” to stay away.
“Seattle's really good...but the Cardinals have been in almost all their games this year." — Nick [16:44]
Rams at Niners: Stats say SF +4.5 is sharp. Heart says Rams eke it out.
“I know the right side is San Francisco. I feel very confident in that.” — Nick [17:33]
Lions at Washington: Detroit “smash spot,” but Nick’s gun-shy after last week’s Lions pick busted.
“I should probably just swallow the eight points with Detroit but instead I'm staying away.” — Nick [18:22]
Eagles at Packers: Wanted Philly as dogs, but “desperation disparity” with GB at home worried him.
“Philly getting points against basically anyone in the NFC is almost a must bet but not quite.” — Nick [19:13]
Why: Overreaction to the Colts trading for Sauce; Europe games often close.
“Feels like this is a one-possession game.”— Nick [20:33]
Why: Bucs off bye, better team and QB, Baker great with extra rest.
“As good as New England’s been, I think Tampa wins this game and I think Tampa wins this game by at least a field goal.” — Nick [22:11]
Why: Fading Davis Mills (Texans backup), Jags defense, line movement after Stroud out.
“Davis Mills has started amazingly 25 games in his career: They’re 5-19-1 in those games.” — Nick [23:37]
Why: Giants’ spirit “stolen" after collapse vs. Broncos. Giants fans’ betting activity shifted the line at Hard Rock Bet.
“I just don't trust the Giants defense right now and I think that their spirit was stolen.” — Nick [25:50]
Why: Chargers lack home field, Tomlin excels as a dog, improved PIT defense.
“That’s going to be a silent count game for the Chargers… all Steelers fans taking over SoFi in LA.” — Nick [26:38]
Damanze’s 3-team, 8-point Teaser:
Nick (skeptical):
“I hate every piece of [the Cleveland leg]. Buffalo I like and Philly I like… But listen, your teaser. You’re fine. The teaser’s been average. The picks have been average.” — Nick [33:43]
This episode is a must-listen if you care about smart, nuanced NFL picks — not just for bets, but for understanding the why behind each play, including sharp observations about team psychology, matchup history, and betting line movement. Nick Wright is characteristically candid, admitting when picks are “probably dumb” or when he’s “gun-shy” after a bad loss, making the analysis accessible as well as expert.
For actionable picks and the sharpest edges, Nick likes Atlanta (+6.5), Tampa (-2.5), Jacksonville (-1), Chicago (-3.5), and Pittsburgh (+3), with fun props and a healthy dose of skepticism about teasers. Lots of great insights into why staying away from certain games can be as smart as making that “must-bet.”
