10: The Punt Return: Betting on the NFL - Week 10
09/11/2018 Duration: 40minFor the third straight week the Punt Return Podcast was missing one-third of the usual trio. While Woot was active this time, Darryl Data was inactive. Before getting into their bets the boys talk very briefly about the first half of the 2018/19 NFL season. They outline their biggest surprises so far with the Rams finding another gear and Patrick Mahomes exploding immediately as an MVP candidate being their two biggest. This weeks plays are headlined by the biggest man vs machine of the season. Both Woot and Wye are all over the New Orleans Saints -4.5 while the model is absolutely infatuated with the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The Bengals at the +5 line is a monstrous +11% edge right now, making it one of the best plays of the month. The guys really like the Saints chances against a Cincinnati team that has been porous on pass defense over the last few weeks and will be without super star wide receiver AJ Green on offense. The result of this match shall be hotly discussed when all hands are on deck

18/10/2018 Duration: 38minIt's a week of superstitions and tinfoil hats as the boys from The Woot & Wye Show team up once again with Stats Insider's Darryl "Dr Data" Woodford to discuss Week 7 NFL Bets. Josh Wootton has his tinfoil hat on with regards to his Eagles' results when a certain referee is on the field. Woot also thinks Eli Manning is done. Cooked. "Scraping the burnt bits into the sink" finished. Josh Wye has his tinfoil hat on with Washington's win-loss record, and gives us a ridiculously long statistic to fuel his belief that "Washington are due for a loss this week." Darryl goes back to the psychology of betting, with "high totals over, low totals under." Whatever that means. Only 14 teams have a winning record. One undefeated team left. Will they remain undefeated after Week 7?
