Welcome to the favorites the podcast presented by Bet 365 we are part of the action network I am

Chad Millman chief content officer of the action network today is our week one

Thursday NFL best bets episode.

I know I did a lot of this housekeeping on Tuesday for our first Tuesday episode of the season but I do want to we have a lot of new

listeners who don't know sort of how we work during the season so I want to be

clear every week for years my co-host Simon Hunter who I will bring on in a second

professional better we have been picking five games against the spread for a

big money season-long pick-um contest on Tuesday's episode we do an early look at all of the games and we start

narrowing down the field. We will talk about our Simon Saysbet. We did that this week. That was the Texans

plus 10. We talk about our exec decision bet. That was the Steelers plus

two and a half. On Thursday, today's episode, we take the seven, eight, nine games that we loved.

We get closer to narrowing it down to our five favorite bets that we will likely put into

the contest.

Our five official picks are locked around Sunday at noon.

You can go check the Action Network app for that.

Follow the Phase 5 in the Action Network app if you want to see what those official five picks are.

Couple of massive, massive changes this year. One, we're adding a Sunday night recap episode,

probably on the air by 730.

After the afternoon games before the Sunday night football game.

We are spending way too much time on Tuesday,

rehashing Sunday's pain.

We're going to get that out of the way. We can all share the emotion together.
