Welcome to Sharper Square, presented by Hard Rock Bat. We are part of the volume podcast network. This is the show that makes the squares sharper and makes the wise guys pay attention. I am Chad Milman. I am joined, as always, by my co-host, my companion, my BFF, my compadre professional better, Simon, Hunter. Hello, Simon. Chad, let's get into it.

How is your night, brother? Dude, look at this. It's so weird. It's so weird to root for a school that in football is literally the second losing his program in NFL history to love the school, to love the fight song so much. And to see this team that has been so historically bad when I had gone to so many games where we'd start off the season 3 and O and then we'd be. play Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, whoever, in that rinky dink memorial stadium and it'd be empty except for me and one other guy, my buddy Matt, and like we'd get blown out and that would be the season. And we were physically dominant on the offensive line. We were strategically brilliant.

We were strategically brilliant. We had mistakes. We got breaks. There was pageantry. The idea that there is a generation of people right now who are going to grow up thinking Indiana football is an exciting thing to experience that Indiana tailgates on a Saturday afternoon in Bloomington are all of a sudden something people want to go to, that college game day and big noon kickoff are going to want to start the season at Indiana. Like, it's insanity to me. The Indiana a fight song being sung on national television at the end of that game. Even my wife was happy for me. Like it's just, it's, it's remarkable. It's the number of texts I'm getting for congratulations. And when all I did was sit on my couch and watch the game. Amazing. Kudos to you for giving out

the here's your 24 hours before the game. Yeah, I wish I got to take credit for it. But yeah, that's just following very smart people, it's smart money. But yeah, it's, yeah, it's, It's what draws people into college football. I know it's a sport that gets a lot of hate because it's so top-heavy. And, you know, you give teams hard times because it's like, you know, if you're a diehard Arkansas fan, what is that life? You're never going to be relevant. But this is the exact scenario why you never give up, right?

If you get the right coach with the right kind of NL money, we should start with the top of that. NIL money, yeah. Yeah, and the coach is the most important part, anything is possible in college football, right? If you can strike getting the coach before they leave for the big time school, you can do it. You might become a big time school. He's signed now for a long time. So I just,

I can't get over the turnaround. If he's doing this with, you know, three, four star, two star recruits, a couple of five star now are going to start rolling in.

It's, it's bizarre, whenever a college basketball school, like Duke, uh, is now a team winning their conferences in football. It's, it's Duke,

Indiana. It's a bizarre time right now in the college football space. I love it. Freaking bizarre a world. Uh, The NIL money transfer portal, go hire an old coach who's proven in it he can win. The money does the recruiting for you. There's a blueprint here that's really, really fascinating.

But it's not what we're talking about today, Simon, because this is the semi-stripped down in the room, eavesdropping version of Sharp or Square. You and I are going to make our final five picks. And the good news now, this is the first Sunday with our brand. new pick-em contest we are all playing from the exact same lines folks final reminder final reminder you still got time you can sign up now for free make your picks and compete directly with me and simon to earn your shot at our grand prize a trip for two to the incredible seminal hardrook hotel and casino in sunny south florida go to sharp or square dot the volume dot com that's sharp

square.thevolume.com. If you want to know me and Simon, our team name, Chad and Simon BFFs, because that's who we are. Are you ready, my BFF, my brother, to get into it for today, Sunday, week 14. You're ready? Yeah, buddy. All right, here we go. Games we zeroed in on the other day. Indy at Jacksonville. Look, I think we both come around. We're on Jacksonville at this point. I've actually bet Jacksonville on the money line. I didn't even bother with the spread. There might be massive thunderstorms and rain in this game. I don't love Trevor Lawrence in any scenario,

but I'm just sort of going to lean into it. I'm going to lean into the storm. I'm going to be like, you know, in Caddyshack. It's like the hard stuff's not coming down for a while. Go Jags. I just, I'm too worried about Daniel Jones. They've also got injuries of Rallon. the defensive line, the Colts, which I think is impactful for them.

So we're going to stay on the Jags. Yeah, on the Jags, but it's definitely a type of game where, you know, you don't want to make a huge position on it because of what Chad has talked about. You're factoring an unknown factor into a game where we've seen it time and time again. It's not a strength at all for Trevor Lawrence to play in bad weather. I mean, just off top of my head, the one that really pops up because I'm an Eagles fan is that game with the Jaguars and the Eagles, Jaguars dominating the game,

beating the Eagles, and I think he had four fumbles. He might have lost three of them against the Eagles, and the Eagles came back and won that game in the second half. So I don't love it for our Trevor Lawrence belief and bet here. But the truth still holds true, which is, I think this is a Jaguar team. It's going to give real problems, Daniel Jones, that offense on the cold side,

on the offensive side, I still think, but I'll take advantage of this cold secondary. So like Chad said, it's, if it's going to be, one of our five, we kind of wanted to be perfect scenario with this Jaguars team because we both have such reservations about backing Trevor Lawrence. So this kind of gives us the out here if we do not want to put this in one of our five just because

it makes me lead confidence knowing that's going to be really bad weather down there. All right. Well, we don't have to do it. We don't have to do it. Tennessee of Cleveland, another game we don't have to do. Cleveland is a three and a half point favorite. We both bet Cleveland here. You had the line of the week on Thursday where you're just like, we seem to get so locked in on these games. We talk ourselves into it.

Are we going to try to talk ourselves out of it on Sunday? The line has moved from three and a half to four. There are fours in the world. It's been trending in that direction over the last 24 hours. So I feel a little bit better that the money is starting to come in on Cleveland. I don't think it's just public money. I think it's professionals betting on the Browns. But do we like it enough to be?

put it in. Yeah. I've dug in all week about how I just love this Browns team because it's really a bet to me on their defense. And shockingly, there are some four and a halfs popping up there. So like chat said, there is not just professional money. Obviously, public money is coming in here on this Brown's team. And I think it's because people are seeing the weather report this morning, which is cold, freezing, sideware, snow and rain and just bad winds right now what they're predicting for Cleveland. So it's another game where we can lean into it. trust his defense and we talked about they just simply got outplayed by their own special teams last week this brown's team right i think if you go back and watch it chad gave up the stat every drive

felt like it started their own side their own 50 for the 49ers right the 49ers kept being at the ealing the browns 40 the browns 30 you know coach was going for on their browns own 30 and gave the 49ers a start on their own 30 so it's a little scary knowing that uh shodorer standards is such a big favorite here but i told you this to me is not him being a big number here this is this big number is this defense. This is purely a defensive number. And it's all about what we're confident, right? We literally dove into this exact position.

I don't know. It feels like 10 years ago, but it was probably four or five weeks ago on Miami versus Brown's team in this exact spot. Yes. With David. Right. With Gabriel, which is no different than Sanders. My model really has a difference of half a point between these two guys.

So if we believe in a chat, we're simply betting a good number, which Hard Rock is right now, minus three and a half because this number is going to four and a half for it a lot of books and we're banking on this defense in this weather at home it just feels like a unique spot so I'm still in on it I don't know if you want to join me like I've joked about it I'm probably 0 for a hundred on this Tennessee team these last two years but I just feel like this is a unique spot back on this brown team we have no rhythm when it comes to the Tennessee Titans none zero we we we cannot catch the falling knife on this team but but we have a lot of rhythm with the Browns. Yeah. And so I've, I'm still on it. I've bet into it. I'm not walking away from it. Let's just commit to it. Let's put it in a green app. Let's own it. Let's own it. Yeah, let's own it. Because don't forget, these lines are dynamic in this contest. So you can start betting it as soon as the lines open and up until kickoff. And if you decide to make changes along the way, you're going to make changes to everything. So it's part of the sort of gamification of this contest.

The United States. This was Chad's choice to two and a half in the contest, not the best number because it's been three for much of the week. I still love it. I bet the Jets, I bet the Jets at three. I bet the Jets at three on Wednesday. I bet the Jets at three. I think again on Thursday.

I bet the Jets money line. I'm all in on the Jets here. And maybe I'm making a mistake. Maybe I'm sort of overenthusiastic. But I just don't see how a Jets team that was a two and a half point underdog on the road against the dolphins in week four is now still as bad as that Jets team in week four when we've all seen the issues the dolphins have as well. So the line hasn't changed in 10 weeks. It doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah.

And unfortunately, this is one of the games that won't be affected by the cold or bad weather. I think it's going to get up above 40 here in Jersey by kickoff. Sunny skies, no rain, no snow, none of that, which is something I honestly was hoping for in this matchup. I thought I was going to play into our favor, especially, you know, early in the week we were talking. It was supposed to be in the 20s, low 30s in this matchup, which, you know, we all know the stats, too. It tends to struggle to this exact climate, but I love it. It's a pros, pros game. It's truly all the, it's just pro money on the Jets.

Yep. All the other money is all public money on this Miami team. and for good reason, right? Miami, they have as much crap as we like giving them. We thought they were deader than dead, right? They kind of given up on the season and they've totally not turned it around, but they've at least showed up for their head coach here down the stretch, right? After they fired their general manager, I think they've won three of their last four. So it's a unique spot here for this Miami team that, you know,

I think the public is starting to finally believe in them where we talked about this Jets game, we were never going to be able to avoid it. We like the number. This probably should be closer to a pick. It's totally overreaction to the public to me on this Miami side. And then the flip side, Taylor, we've got on the stats. Tyrod Taylor, last eight starts, 7-0 and 1 against the spread. It's just continually undervalued against the public.

And we've been backing them along this whole stretch. So nothing's changed here, right? We like the number, like you said, perfect world. Just like last week, we would have loved to gotten this to that three and a half. That would have been a really safe, secure number. It's never gotten there. Like you said, the three has come down at two and a half from us every book. So we'll take down the contest and that.

get scared off by this number. We will not be scared off because we think the Jets are going to win this game. Outright. New Orleans at Tampa Bay, the line is currently eight and a half. The Saints are eight and a half point underdog. Simon, this is going to be a rock and a hard place, hard rock. Bet of the week. You talked about the Saints a bunch on Thursday.

It took me a minute to come around. I am on the Saints now. I bet the Saints at plus eight and a half. I bet the Saints on the money line. Oh, God. Yeah, just for fun, just a little taste. Not like, listen, not like, you know, college tuition money. Just like, you know, a burrito bowl, Chipotle.

But I just sort of feel like the bucks have not been playing up to the level that everyone thinks they are. and the Saints, I'm not going into the, oh, the Saints are more competitive than you think, but their underlying metrics aren't as bad as you think. So I'm not uncomfortable playing the big number here in the division, a game that was much more competitive than the score indicated the last time these two played. Yeah, and I love it too because it's back in the Saints team, we're either going to be in a really close backdoor type of game where they have an opportunity. Or it's dead in the first corner.

Exactly. We will either or we'll be down 30 nothing in the first half and just getting totally blown out. So these are the gross, ugly dogs I like betting. Gave out that stat on Tuesday. Again, we didn't really talk much Thursday because I think, like you said, it wasn't much on your radar, but I did quietly love it. I look at this one where it's pretty best based off just kind of like that Jets game where the public continues undervalue the Saints team.

And we've gone back now the last couple of years. You know, this Saints team divisionally on the road is an underdog or 8-0 against to spread. So they've had a run here these last three, four years where they keep getting undervalued by the general public. They go on the road in their division, which we joke all the time, the NFC South. No one knows what's going to happen, but you can't bank on taking the dogs and a lot of these matchups, right? And we've kind of had that proven out. So you said it best. The last time they played, they got blown out, I think, three to 23, something like that. Yeah. But it was not a 23 to 3 game. That was a, the score was 23 to 3.

The circumstances that led to it being 23 to 3 were not dominance by the Bucks. It was fluky plays, a lot of luck. They were only winning 7 to 3 at half, and that was because of a pick 6. Like, nobody was playing well in that game. I was to say, total meltdown by the sense if you go back and watch it. But we do give some grace. That was when we think Baker had an injury. He didn't disclose and he was fighting through it.

And they had a bunch of injuries, obviously, to the offense. No, God went no Mike Evans, no Buck Irving. So, yeah, this matchup for me, it's really just backing about the public, just moving this number too much and overrating this Bucks team that, yes, they're going to be better now. They have a lot of their guys back.

But that defense, there ain't no guy coming off the bench that's going to save this defense for this Bucks team. They have been terrible against the run, and they've really struggled this season with teams that can push the ball downfield, which, you know, as much crap, he's like to give Shuck.

He's actually been pretty good pushing the ball downfield consistently. So, yeah, we both love this number, and really it's about the line, plus eight and a half at every book. I can't avoid it. Another game I just love on this dog. I'm glad we at least have one road team. We're here backing.

Warren Sapp is not walking through that door. No. I put Houston plus three and a half at Kansas City on this list. Wow. This number was four and a half at a book on Saturday afternoon. I don't know if you saw that. I grabbed Houston at four and a half. It's now back down to three and a half at most places.

you know, I just wanted to throw it in there because we're getting the better defense in the contest. We're getting the better defense and the hook against a team that has basically played all close games this year, whether we think the chiefs will win a close game and there'll be some regression to the mean in a positive way or they're going to lose a close game. Getting the hook feels important to me in this contest, especially when we know the chiefs are not going to have their starting left tackle. They might not have their starting left tackle. they might not have their starting right tackle. He was doubtful slash out on the injury list yesterday.

So they're going to be playing two backup tackles for protecting Patrick Mahomes against possibly the best pass rush and definitely the best defense in the NFL Sunday night. Yeah, but again, it's no different that Dallas Lions game shot. And it's something where we joke about it, but if the line just seems off

and there's something fishy, and it's what, week 14 here, you got to trust your instincts here. So I get where you're taking a position on Houston, everything you said is true. I just, I want people to be wary of this game. Because what Chad just said, why is this not keep,

it was moving to three. Like I got a bunch of threes on the Chiefs. It was moving in the three, two and a half direction. Now their left and right tackle might be out. It's going up the four, four and a half. So be careful.

I'm on the Chiefs. I guess we're just, split here. Like you said, everything is very logical. You said in Houston, they have the best unit on the field, obviously, in this defense. They're just incredible. This actually is a pretty good match for them, but I think on the flip side, this is the exact type of game Spags gets right against this Houston offense. So to me, it's going to be the type of game that, you know, is going to be one in the red zone. And I think Chiefs, Mahomes, they take advantage of this Houston team in the red zone on the flip side. I think Houston continues to struggle in the red zone. So I get Chad's

perspective here, people, but just be careful. There's something very fishy about this number and the way it's moving where I'm on the Chiefs, but very, very leaky confident. You can hear my voice. I just, I don't trust this Chief's team at all, but it's just like the lines. I'm simply playing a fishy spot on a team that historically tends to bounce back in this exact spot. I'm only on the Texans at four and a half.

I'm kind of agnostic or ambivalent about it at three and a half. I bet the minus three and a half on the Chief, honestly. It's not scared me, but it's like, again, I just, to be one of our five, it's like, man, I really wish you came in super confident of the chiefs. I'm not going to back you up here, but it sucks for split. So I guess we'll just avoid it. Well, look, I think we have three games we're agreed on so far. Cleveland, the Jets, and the Saints.

Boy, that's a magnificent trio. That's like the Indiana University football team of the 1970s trio right there. So now we got to make. What's Atlanta in this contest? Atlanta is, hold on. Is it six and a half now? I think Atlanta is six and a half. So this is where it gets tricky, right?

Because Atlanta, which I liked a lot, six and a half. That's a very, very sharp. A lot of sharps I know like Atlanta, but I do not see it. Drake, I backed out of it because Drake London's not playing. And I'm not going to buy in to Drake London. Buffalo and Cincinnati. Cincinnati six and a half. That's interesting to me.

You want that six and a half? I like Cincinnati at six and a half. All right. That could be one of years. But, but the other games that we've liked all week, Baltimore, we've liked all week,

it's up to six and a half in the contest. Yeah, I wouldn't let that. I mean, again, very smart professionals have taken the six and a half on Pittsburgh. So that could be my little bit of hesitation. And I don't know if you saw them more,

apparently got stepped on in practice and he missed the day. And he did come back, I believe, on Thursday or Friday. He did practice. But it's not, again, I wish I could be more confident betting this Ravens team. But the historical data just shows like Pittsburgh as a dog here. You're supposed to blindly bet it. But I just, I can't get there. It just sucks.

It's a bad number. Like five and a half, I'd honestly make us put this Ravens game in. Six and a half. If we can't find anything else, I'll put it in. but it's obviously not that good of a number. The Jags, by the way, in the contest are two and a half. So that, to me, changes the calculus a little bit. Jags are two and a half?

In the contest. That's crazy, yeah, because Hard Rock is one and a half here. Yeah. I mean, I could get into it. Damn it. There's weather, though. I'm trying to keep perspective. It's like we're betting Trevor in the rain, but that's a great number.

The other game that I want to bring up, I know we're bouncing around here, we're looking at contest lines. The Las Vegas Raiders are now eight and a half against the... Okay, good. I'm glad. Listen, you mentioned the Raiders the other day. I don't want to do it, but I wanted to respect the mention.

I told you, I got more invested in Denver's money line, so I just, I don't want to be sweating that. All right, well, we got some... I've already used to come down. I'm probably going to lose that money, but my God. We got some tough choices to make then. So like... Yeah, like again, I don't know if you're going to like these games.

Like, we're supposed to be betting Green Bay. Like, you know we're supposed to be betting Green Bay. But it's a hard spot because it's like Green Bay has not covered this number at all, all season. Bears have lived up expectations. I mean, they've gone far and above what we all predicted. They've been covering a machine. I just don't get why this number is not budged. all week. If anything, it's going to seven at a couple books. Yeah, I saw that.

And it's been never ending amounts of Bears money. I went to the book on Tuesday. Both guys in front of me in the line were betting the Bears. I went to the book on Wednesday. Four different people in the line were talking about those bears. I wish I loved the bear. It's never any amount of love. I'm just saying for the general book on this bear as well. So again, we don't have to get there. I know you don't love it because you're, you want, you know. I bet the Bears on the Money line. Listen. I'm a year. I told you. I made that bet. The Chad normal the bet. The Bears money line with Indiana Hoosiers money line.

But my God, this number is the officious line of the week. Simon, do you see this? Do you see this? Do you know what's underneath it, by the way? Do you know what's underneath it? Hold on. The Bears T-shirt. All right.

Chad, show me his nipples, people. So I got the Bears T-shirt and the Indiana hoodie. I root for champions. But I don't want to put them in the contest. What's our favorite, though? We need to get a favorite in here, Chad, because we, last week, I think we got smoked. Listen, we loved the, well, we have Cleveland in. Don't forget.

Right, right, right. Three and a half. Okay. Look, look, I'll say something crazy here. I say it. Okay? We loved the Rams at seven and a half, and we bet it at seven and a half. It's at nine and a half because there's a bunch of injuries for the Cardinals.

Why not the Rams? Nine and a half right now. Terrible number. but I think if they win there's going to be a blowout. All right. I can be talked into it. I'm heavily invested in the Rams.

I'll do that. All right. So I will take a sec. Message here from Hard Rock Bet. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet. The holidays are here

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?

What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nasree. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us

on the night-to-night bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like, After you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store.

I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes. In Rebel Spirit, season two, goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you write? represent that. They are just fueling a fire that is really catching. You'll see what I mean.

Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No, I didn't want to manifest that.

I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. this is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, brother. So the way I'm looking at it right now, Jacksonville plus two and a half, Cleveland minus three and a half, Jets plus two and a half. New Orleans plus eight and a half, L.A. Rams minus nine and a half.

Those are our five. All right. All right. Well, listen. Listen, Chad and Simon BFFs just put that into the Sharper Square contest page. Everyone can go sign up sharper square.thevolume.com. You still got a chance. You can find Chad and Simon BFFs.

you'll see our picks. It's all there. Simon, one more thing before we get out of here. As a native of England, I know how much you love the actual, original football. Please confirm that for me. I love it. I know you do. I know, and I know when you watch your favorite English Premier League team, you only speak with an English accent. The preeminent international soccer tournament will be hosted right here in America. this summer the draw for that tournament, as I said, took place on Friday.

It drew more viewers worldwide than the Super Bowl. Seriously. I don't know nearly as much as you do on the subject, but I do know a couple of things. The tournament has expanded, so nearly 50 countries are going to play 100 total matches because America is the host country, the U.S. men's national team automatically qualifies, which is nice. But I hear you've got big expectations. I saw the course the other day said he had big, big expectations.

hard rock bet right now you can already bet on every single match in the first round with hundreds of markets available for every single match plus you'll find tons of futures like group winners top score MVP Simon I know you got a whole group of people like guys who tell you when to bet Indiana what are you hearing about early soccer bets people might want to find in the hard rock bet app right now I hope maybe I can persuade you to get into it because it's in the summer This is like the prime time to be betting these exact type of spots. Like it's right around NHL, NBA playoffs, and this is the tournament, right? This is all the different countries.

And Chad just talked about it. The viewership is insane for these types of things. Just reading off the list of where these teams are going to, what groups these teams are going to play in, the better number of the Super Bowl. It's just you can't wrap our head around it, how many people are obsessed with this exact tournament. So from the top, the very basic, this is, have you been there before to the party, right?

If just like if you win a Super Bowl and football, it's easier for some reason to win another Super Bowl. It's the same in this tournament. If you've done it before, it's easier to do. And if you haven't, it's basically impossible. If you're not anybody at the party, you're never going to do it. So it's very top-heavy people off the basis. If you just want to pick a team and that's your team for the tournament, the top four, Spain, England, France, Argentina, you can just pick one of them. If you want to do that in your future market, that's a move to make.

Right now when I look at this, there's one group of days. death. Unfortunately, my favorite team is in that group of death, and that is Norway. Norway, which is a team that, if you don't know, they have a guy named Holland. He's the greatest striker in the world. Basically, he's in the homes of the sport. Basically, now you can get, he's just the best of what he does at a certain position. And in this sport, soccer, the whole game can change if you have an unnaturally gifted goal score because it's so hard to score in this tournament, because everyone's just so tight. It's just such a big deal of these guys. guys. So unfortunately, they're in the group of death, which is group I. They have France. It's

France, Norway, and then Senegal, which if you know anything about Senegal, it's an African country that is filthy, filthy at soccer. They are pure Dallas Cowboys, tons and tons of offense, no defense. And they're really fun. We're in that group. France right now is minus 180. You can get Norway plus 280 at Hard Rock plus 260. If you want to bet that and them to win it all, which Overall, the whole, you know, cup, I think there are plus 3,000. A lot of books, it's moved now to 25 to 1. So it's, Norway has come down a little bit. People have been hidden that even though they're in the group of death.

If you are very lazy, American better, we have done it, people. We are in the exact group you want to bet American for the first time in my lifetime. This might be our best opportunity in the next 200 years to win this 20. just because at home for us, and they basically laid it out where we're not going to face any good teams for the first month. They've really put us on a nice spot here

for the first couple of weeks. And basically USA is in Group D. We are plus 120 right now at Hard Rock. I talk to a pro that makes us minus 200 in this group. That's how bad. Again, I'm not trying to pick on USA. That's just how easy our group is. We don't have any of these big times,

South America or European teams, are our hardest competition right now is not even decided yet. It could be Turkey, which, again, that doesn't put up a lot of fear in here or Paraguay. Those are just not that good of teams. And then fishing out the bottom of the group is Australia, I think they're 8 to 1 to win this group.

So to me, if you're looking for a very home or bet, I don't hate it. If you want to bet the USA to win the World Cup, there is a path. I can squint my eyes and see it just because it's a new year. There's 48 teams in this new tournament, the way they've laid it out. And a lot of these countries have not dealt with America,

of humidity. So I can see the opportunity for America. You want to bet them the long shot to win at all. I think you can still get them at 66 to 1 or 50 to 1. But to me, group play to win their group plus 120, there's good value there to win them group D. So really fired up for USA's prospects in this tournament. Listen, United States could be the Indiana of global soccer this year. And reminder, hard rock bet is your betting home for all of this summer's. global soccer action. Reminder, our picks are in. Chad and Simon BFFs. We're at Jacksonville plus two and a half. That's the number in the contest. We're a Cleveland minus three and a half. New York Jets plus two and a half. New Orleans Saints plus eight and a half and Los Angeles Rams

minus nine and a half on the road against the battered Arizona Cardinals. This has been Sharper Square, part of the volume podcast network.

I'm Danny Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move.
