Let's create smarter business. IBM. Welcome in what's Right with Nick Wright. Episode 403. Our Red Hot Gambling show. All year long we have said the gambling show would turn things around right when the Chiefs did. Turns out the gambling show turned things around and the Chiefs have not. But such is life. And here's the deal. This episode of what's Writing Nick Wright is brought to you by Boost Mobile. Reminder to everybody Like Rate Subscribe Review it helps us out a lot. And reminder also. All lines are From Hard Rock bet. All right, last week Damanze just 3 and 2 but such a sturdy 3 and 2 that could have so easily been 4 and 1. I feel great about it. So if we show you the picks. Last week we had Jacksonville getting two against Indy they won by three scores. We had Pittsburgh getting six against Baltimore they won the game outright. We had Seattle laying seven at Atlanta, they won by 100. Now we had one of the worst picks of the year, Washington getting to at Minnesota, they got shut out and really the whole thing was a total embarrassment but still just a loss. And then Philly minus three at the Chargers. I'm still a little bitter about it. A little bitter about it.
D
I was about to say that they, they never really looked good to cover that game. I get they had the lead and stuff but it was just like.
E
No, you're, you're right. But it looked like I was going to steal one at the end. Yeah, when they first intend from the 17 and overtime score a touchdown to cover. But that's 3 and 2 which puts us on the year 35, 33 and 2 which is 51.4% winning but not yet profitable. But this week, let me do some quick math real here calculator for this one to see if we go 4 and 1 this week to Monze and we're 39 and 34 and 2 and the 2, the 2 pushes don't matter. That would put us into profitability. 4 and 1 would put us into profitability for the year. We are very proud of the fact that four of the five years we've publicly done picks, we not only were winners, we were profitable. Including the vig. We want to keep that going. We have a big week in front of us with some massive point spreads. Yeah, a lot of huge favorites this weekend. So we'll get to that in just a moment. First, I got to remind you, Today show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock bet. The holidays are here and the sports schedule is packed tighter than Santa's gift bag.

So there are 16 games this weekend. We are obviously not going to be discussing Bucks Falcons, which is tonight, but you guys will be hearing this tomorrow. I'm just going on the record. I think the Bucks are going to win and cover, but that is of course not one of our picks. I'm just letting you guys know that is what I think is going to happen in a game that by the time you hear or see this has already taken place. So you can see if I'm right or wrong. All right, Demonte, what are we staying away from?
D
First off, we're staying away from Chargers at Kansas City. With Kansas City being five and a half point favorites, are we staying away from this one?
E
I mean I'm obviously not betting against the Chiefs, but five and a half is an outrageous line. Like the Chiefs have not earned the right and it's four and a half in some places. Five and a half. Here the the Chiefs have not earned the right to be five and a half point favorites against a nine and four Chargers. I mean this is Vegas. Vegas is having a harder time coming to the realization of where the Chiefs are right now than I am. So I think the sharp side of this is the Chargers. But I would never so I'm just staying away. Next.
D
Next you Got Washington at The Giants. Giants 2 1/2 point favorites.
E
Yeah, I mean just an ugly game with a rookie quarterback against a backup quarterback. Washington showed real fight against the Broncos and then none whatsoever last week when I thought they would pardon me against Minnesota. The Giants, though also a weird season, keeps getting weirder. They just fired one of their assistant coaches because of a dispute over seating on the team plane. I. Which means had to be. Yeah. The reporting is like he was pissed about where like it just. This is two bad teams, two teams looking for next season to one team that's fired their coach, another team that feels terrible about where they're at in Washington. We're staying away.
D
Next Cleveland at Chicago. Chicago, seven and a half point favorites.
E
I looked long and hard at Chicago because I do not think Shador is going to have back to back excellent games. And that's not a knock on Shador. I'm not the. I just think even if the, the he is on the right trajectory, which he pretty clearly is, and even if that game last week was awesome, which it pretty clearly was, asking any rookie quarterback to string together consecutive good games, particularly this one coming against a desperate Chicago team is really dangerous. With that said, Chicago's offense has not been quite consistent enough for me to feel comfortable laying seven and a half against Cleveland. As good as the running game's been, Caleb's been hit and miss and Chicago's defense has lived and died by forcing turnovers. So maybe Shedor can, you know, there's some backdoor cover potential. Like last week they're down 14 with three minutes left. Shador led two awesome late drives. But so I'm just, it's just, I'm just staying away. I'm just staying away Also. We're going to talk about it more on the show today. Bruce take yesterday that he just fully believes Shador is going to outplay Caleb. I thought was one of the wildest sports takes of the week. And Brew didn't even think it was like a controversial opinion. I am again, I'm happy Shador had that game and we talked about it a lot on Tuesday. I don't think all of a sudden it's like, okay, well Shador Sanders established quality NFL quarterback. Like he is still at a point where him playing well should be surprising the way it is for any rookie quarterback, much less a 5th round rookie making his 4th or 5th career start. All right, do you, do you want to say something there?
D
Yeah.
E
No.
D
I mean he did just have a, he just had a good game and if they do have something there. Then maybe he does have another good game. And it's not wise to take Chicago -7 and a half.
E
Yeah, okay. Yeah, fair enough. All right, next.
D
Next you got Arizona at Houston. Houston's nine and a half point favorites.
E
I had Arizona plus nine and a half in the picks initially and I took them out. And the reason I had them in was because Houston's offense is just so, oh, unreliable. I'll say that. Laying 10 points with them feels ambitious. But Arizona, when. Arizona has Arizona at the beginning of the year when they lost these heartbreakers. So Arizona lost to the Niners by one, to the Seahawks by three, to the Titans in that outrageous game by one, the Colts by four, the packers by four. They. They were losing heartbreakers. Since then, they lost to the Seahawks by 22, to the Niners by 19, to the Rams by 28. What's that number? 28. Now they also did have close games against the Jags and Bucks, but they were losses. I worry the Cardinals have just packed it in. So I liked the Cardinals plus nine and a half, but the fact that they all of a sudden are getting blown out and Houston Stevens is playing that well and CJ I thought was good in the first half against the Chiefs. I'm going to stay away from it. Next.
D
Next we got jets at jags. Jags are 13 point favorites.
E
Excuse me. Sorry guys. Took a lot of self control to not bet the Jags here. I mean, right? But it's such a big number and could be a little inclement weather, a little rain, not. Not Jacksonville. So not a lot of cold. That worries me a bit. The jets quarterback situation is such a mess that I really thought about laying the 13 with Jacksonville. But that is the worst scene.
D
Their quarterback situation.
E
Fields is. Fields is hurt. No, Fields is hurt and benched. Tyrod got hurt. Brady Cook. No, it's not the worst in the league. We'll get to the worst in the league shortly. 13 is just too many points to lay with Jacksonville. I'm staying away.
D
Next, Green Bay at Denver. Denver's two and a halfway Dogs.
E
This is a great game and one we haven't talked about. This is one of the best games of the weekend. Huge for both teams. Green Bay trying to stay alive for the one seed. Denver trying to keep control of the one seed. A little insulting to the Broncos where they're getting nearly a field goal at home, but I also think this is a Green Bay win by a field goal game. But Denver, I've lost, you know, betting on the Chiefs and betting against the Broncos is what's cost me more than anything so far this year. I'm staying away from it because I was leaning Green Bay. I think the sharp side would be Denver getting points at home on a 10 game winning streak.

What a matchup we got, y'.
D
All.
C
This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride. A game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at Ashington. Fans, school coach colors everywhere. And in ice cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

Let me tell you about Ready or Not, the tactical first person shooter where you take command of a SWAT team and feel the weight of the badge. Recently, I reunited with my Legion of Boom teammates and Cliff Averill, Cam Chancer, Michael Bennett and Walter Thurman. We partnered with Ready or Not to go through actual SWAT training and film the whole experience. Watch it now at the Richard Sherman Podcast YouTube channel. Here's what makes this game different. It's not just mindless run and gun. Just like the Legion of Boom built an elite defense on strategy and teamwork. Ready or not demands the same mentality. You're commanding a SWAT team, clearing rooms, protecting civilians, making tactical calls. As a coordinated team with 18 missions that challenge you in completely different ways. Every operation demands that same discipline and teamwork. Best part? Try it for free for a limited time on PlayStation and Xbox go solo or squad up with five players in full crossplay support. If you want strategic, high stakes action that rewards elite tactics and and fast thinking, then this is the game for you. Try Ready or Not for free today on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

That's why Halion, makers of Advil, Tums, Sensodyne, Centrum and Voltaren, is teaming up with US Soccer to launch for the Assist. It's a new campaign that celebrates those everyday acts of support that help people achieve their goals. Whether it's the fans cheering their hearts out in an electric stadium or the rec player who's keeping fit for weekend games, Halion is there for them.

D
Rams are 6 point favorites if I.
E
Was gonna bet this game to Monte, I'd bet the Rams cause I'm very confident the Rams are going to win. But Detroit and Dan Campbell have had a lot of success against the Rams and though they've been come down to the wire games so that's a mark in favor of taking Detroit plus the 6. But I think this is probably a Rams 2824 win but it's a stay away because of that. I like the Rams. I don't want to lay the points. I I don't love betting underdogs if I don't think they can win outright unless they're getting more than a touchdown. So I'm staying away.
D
Next Carolina at New Orleans New Orleans 2 1/2 point dogs.
E
New Orleans was good last week against the Bucks. Carolina has not been a great road team so I thought long and hard about New Orleans plus the two and a half and then and I probably shouldn't do this because I am real. I am trying to just pick the best bets but if I have six bets I like Ty sometimes goes to game I want or don't want to watch and I don't really want to have a vested interest in Carolina New Orleans too many other good games this weekend. But the side I'm leaning is New Orleans plus two and a half. Next.
D
All right, Minnesota Dallas Dallas six point favorites.
E
So I like Dallas here. I got burned though last week by thinking Minnesota was dead and so I'm just staying away. But I think this is another one there. There were four games this week Damanze that I really considered as my final game. Arizona plus nine and a half, New Orleans plus two and a half. Dallas minus six. I thought long and hard about I think Dallas wins. Oh, and the Rams minus six. But it was two of them. Like, man, I think they win. I don't know if they win by margin. I'm staying away from it but. But I would be shocked if Minnesota wins this game. Next.
D
Yeah. Miami at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's three and a half point favorites.
E
I understand they just beat the jets and they're on a nice little winning streak. Tough to rely on TUA in the cold. Also don't love laying more than a field goal ever with Pittsburgh. A true definitional stay away reminder, everybody. All our lines are from Hard Rock bets. So that gets us through all of our game or all of our stayaways. Let's go to our five actual picks.
D
All right. First off in the Drake and Josh bowl we got Buffalo minus one at New England.
E
Yeah. So I understand that this is a. Is that a Drake and Josh?
D
It's a Drake and Josh photo shoot. The treehouse episode. Drake lost inside of there.
E
Wow. Great, great knowledge. The. It's a good reason to watch on YouTube. Listen, I understand variable off a buy has been really, really good. I don't really look at this as betting a divisional road favorite because this is a pick them like minus ones. A pick them essentially. And this line's been bouncing back and forth from minus 1 plus 1 depending on the day and depending on the book. I just think Buffalo's better. Right. Let me rephrase it. I don't know that I think Buffalo is better, but I think Buffalo. I think it's close enough that the fact that Buffalo desperately needs this game to stay or else they're eliminated from the division that Buffalo I think understands the opportunity in front of them with the Ravens and Chiefs and Bengals and such disarray. And I think that Buffalo is going to be able to to run the ball on New England and where Buffalo's biggest weakness is running run defense. New England. The only thing New England doesn't do really well on either side of the ball is run the ball. So I will take the Bills to win the game. Bills minus one in New England next.
D
Solid. Seattle minus 13 and a half versus Indy.
E
The Colts might be playing Philip Rivers in 2025 as their starting quarterback against this Mike McDonald ferocious defense. All lay the two touchdowns and deal with it.
D
Have we learned nothing from Joe Flacco? Have we learned nothing?
E
Flacco was an active player, bro. Philip Damanze, Philip Rivers.
D
When was the last time Flacco had played though? Since then. When like when the Browns called him up was like three years ago or something like that. Like I can't remember if I go playing recently.
E
I don't. Let me. Hold on, let me look. Flacco. No, Flacco never demands a. He would never stopped being on rosters. So Flacco hadn't been a full time starter since like 2019. But in 2020 he started four games for the jets and in 2021 he started one game for the Jets. In 2022 he started four games for the Jets & then in 2023 he started five games for the Browns. So he, you. You understand. I mean like even if he hadn't been on a roster that year he had played the previous.
D
Year.
E
Yeah. Philip Rivers last game demand and last day on an NFL roster was three weeks before Tom Brady won the super bowl with the Bucks. Think about that. Philip Rivers last game played was three weeks before the Chiefs Bucks super bowl. Like that is. So I just. I'll lay the two touchdowns also nobody loves being in a regional. No one's going to watch it Window as a big favorite like Sam Darnold. Darnold is 110 as a 7 plus point favorite now that's straight up obviously but 9 and 2 against the spread. I've been riding Seattle. I'll keep riding them.
D
Next. Oh you got Vegas plus 11 and a half at.
E
Philly. So here's the deal on that. Vegas is terrible. Everybody knows it. Everybody knew it before the year except for me. Hand up. That was. That was as bad as it gets. I can't trust Phillies offense right now to win by two scores. And Vegas showed us this past week they will fight for a backdoor cover up to an including kicking a field goal with one second left down 10 and I'm getting 11 and a.
D
Half.
E
And I teams that played an overtime game the previous week against a team that didn't are 24 and 49 against the spread in the last 70 or so. You then add to it it was an overtime Monday night game for Philadelphia. I'll take my 11 1/2 points with the Raiders.
D
Next. San Francisco minus 12 1/2 versus Tennessee. Yeah, this is probably one of the crazier betting weeks I've seen from.
E
You.
D
Yeah. All these favors.
E
Yeah. Yeah. It's like college football. But here's the deal. The Titans got their win of the, you know, of the month last week and big Bob Salah against rookie Cam Ward all lay the 12 and a half I think that the Niners need Can the Niners get to if they can get to 24 I feel like I'm guaranteed to cover. I do not think the Titans can get to 13 points against this Niners defense. And the flip side to it is if Kevin Stefanski and Shador Sanders can rack up 400 yards of offense essentially against this Titans defense, what is Kyle Shanahan and that and Christian McCaffrey and Purdy and Kittle and that Niners team going to do off a buy no less. All lay the 12 and a half with San Francisco and then finally.
D
One small spread, Cincinnati plus two and a half versus.
E
Baltimore. Yeah.
D
I it's.
E
Fair. I think Lamar is over it in Baltimore not being a Raven but this regime and I think Joe Burrow while he's talking about being sad does.
D
Understand. Joe Burrow sounds like he's over it.
E
Too. Yes, that's true. No, no that is true. But Joe Burrow also understands I think he cost him that game against the Bills. He was great and then those back to back picks just killed him. And so I think you're going.
F
To get.
E
A and cincy offense that is able to move the ball. I don't love that. I assume T. Higgins is going to miss the game but Baltimore right now is just not to be trusted. And I the other thing is this. I'm getting two and a half points at home in a divisional game with Burrow playing. I'll take it. So my five picks this week are Buffalo laying one at New England, Seattle laying 13 and a half against Indy at home, The Raiders getting 10 and a half at Philadelphia. They the Niners laying 12 and a half at home against Tennessee and Cincinnati getting two and a half against Baltimore. Before we get to Demons, Red Hot teasers. You ever notice how everything keeps going up? Rents going up, streaming services going up? Your favorite burrito spot suddenly thinks salsa should cost extra. But with Boost Mobile you and your phone bill don't have to play the Will this go up soon game. Why? Because Boost Mobile has an unlimited talk, text and data plan at a price that that'll never go up. In fact, it's the same price you'll pay for life. So switch now for unlimited wireless at a price that'll never go up. Only at boost mobile after 30 gigs customers may experience lower speeds. Customers will pay $20 per month as long as they remain active on the Boost Unlimited plan. All right, Damanze, you went big game hunting last week. Instead of a three teamer, you went with a four teamer. How'd it.
D
Do? So, yeah, Jags. It covered Jags plus 10. That covered very well. Seattle plus one covered Pittsburgh plus 14, covered crazy. And then Cleveland plus four. By the skin of my teeth, you told me to take and put.
E
The. That's why you get those points. Oh, yeah, I did tell you to take that one out, but what did I tell you to.
D
Put? You told me to put the bucks in there as a.
E
Pickup. Oh, I would have cost.
D
You. Yeah, that an hour ago.
E
100%. I would have cost you your.
D
Teaser. Unbelievable. I'm really glad I stood my ground there this week. Week 15, three team eight point teaser at plus 100. Going to tease Cincinnati up to plus 10 and a half. And my thought process earlier, the super bowl take that I had was if the Ravens managed to blow this for me and this and Cincinnati doesn't cover ten and a half, we're super well bound. I know there's a lot of other dominoes who need to fall, but us beating the Bengals by more than 10 points divisional game, I. I'd feel pretty good about. We're going.
E
For. Okay, love.
D
That. So Cincinnati up to plus 10 and a half, and then the Chargers up to plus 13 and a half. And then Chicago basically to a pick them at plus point five or plus half. Um, yeah, that's my week 15. Uh. Oh. What? What is it? Is it, Is it.
E
Chicago? No, here's the thing. I just don't love. I don't feel like you're getting enough value with the Chargers and that you're not getting it through 14. That's all. Like it the. Yeah, but I, I, the. I like the but I'm just gonna keep doing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. B minus. Every time I give you a B minus, you.
D
Win. I'll take it. I'll take.
E
It. Do I have a touchdown genie this week? You guys want to.
D
Know?
E
Yep.
D
Kelsey. Oh, what are the odds on that.
E
One? He's down on himself. He's sad. Mahomes wants to. You know, he doesn't have potentially that many home games left.
D
Kelsey.
E
Yeah. Plus 225. All right, what about the offer to.
D
Monse? So our offer didn't hit. For our 400 400th episode special, Shador Sanders ended up being the best candidate for the quarterback, throwing over 400 so this week we have a cross sport parlay. We're going to tie up Chiefs moneyline plus SGA to win the cup MVP for plus.
E
114. Love it. I'm taking that offer. Chiefs Moneyline Shay to win the the NBA cup mvp. Oh my goodness. I you know I feel like that's free money except for the Chiefs might break my heart again. Reminder everybody Like Rate Subscribe Review Appreciate you guys listening. Good luck to Demons Teasers. We're looking for a four in one week to get to profitability for the year.

In this Week 15 special of "What's Wright with Nick Wright," Nick and Damanze break down their NFL picks against the spread, discuss the quirks and trends affecting this weekend’s matchups, and analyze which games they’re backing, fading, and flat-out avoiding. The duo also recap last week’s wagers, reflect on betting logic, and dive deep into which teams are worth gambling on as the playoffs approach.

| Game | Nick’s Pick | Reasoning | |------------------------------|---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Bills at Patriots | Bills -1 | Bills’ urgency; edge on ground game | | Colts at Seahawks | Seahawks -13.5 | Colts QB crisis; trust Seattle/Darnold as heavy favorite | | Raiders at Eagles | Raiders +11.5 | Philly unreliable by margin, Vegas scrappy for covers | | Titans at 49ers | 49ers -12.5 | Titans weak offense; Shanahan to exploit mismatches | | Ravens at Bengals | Bengals +2.5 | Divisional home dog, trust Burrow, lack of faith in Ravens |
Nick and Damanze stay disciplined on their approach, warning listeners about traps for the gambling public, especially with large spreads and unpredictable offenses. They balance deep analysis with relatable banter and bold, sometimes comedic, predictions. The show is fun, accessible, and especially useful for fans considering NFL bets or seeking smart context on Week 15 matchups.
