Episode 143

In this episode, host Shane Mercer is joined by Andrew Pace and John Wilson for a candid and sometimes hilarious deep-dive into the current state of football and sports betting. The crew kicks things off with a recap of betting picks and a discussion about what’s currently plaguing the NFL—from chaotic coaching decisions and crumbling franchises, to the alarming drop in quarterback performance and overall gameplay quality.

The episode tackles everything from gut-wrenching bad beats and the frustrations of modern sports betting, to the influence of legalized gambling on addiction rates. They compare the NFL’s woes with other leagues, highlight the critical role management plays, and exchange stories about wild bets, lost fortunes, and how society is getting hooked on the dream of a big win.

With news, stats, personal tales, and the occasional laugh about lost comic books and rare trading cards, the hosts offer a fresh look at why sports—and betting—aren’t quite what they used to be.
