About this episode

On today's episode, Jason joins us from parts unknown (as you can tell by the audio quality) to explain how he's been able to make a little money betting on the college football bowl season. In a world where most of the best players are opting out and half the games are getting canceled due to COVID, our fearless leader managed to find an edge. Plus, Jason explains why he's expecting Ben Roethlisberger to take a loss in what should be his final home game as the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the bright side, with Big Ben on the way out, the Steelers suddenly become one of the top destinations for disgruntled quarterbacks looking for a change of scenery - like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Later, professional sports bettor Brad Powers swings by to handicap the College Football Playoff games between Georgia, Michigan, Alabama and Cincinnati, and share some quick thoughts on a few of his favorite bets for the NFL weekend. Finally, Jason closes the show with the NFL Week 17 edition of the Best Bet.
