Welcome to the favorites presented by Draft Kings. The Crown is yours. I'm Brandon Kravitz,

joined by one of my two faves, the Prime Minister Stucky along for the ride. Kendra is still somewhere gallivanting around Europe.

We did get a voice message that has since disappeared, but we wish her well.

And we'll chat with her on Sunday for the week eight recap.

Another week in the NFL is upon us on today's episode.

We're going to submit our official plays for the week. We've got our

stat of the week as well, our two kings and a queen parlay, some more public darlings that are

out there that you need to be aware of, a couple of which I actually quite like this week.

Like and subscribe wherever it is. You are tuned in. Gambling scandals of plenty in the NBA. Stucky. I'm glad that that's not anything we have to deal with over here. I'm a little surprised that that's not something you hear about in the NFL. It's like we haven't really dealt with that much. It's been very much an NBA driven thing. Terry Rozier arrested, by the way, if you haven't seen the news.

Yeah, I mean, it's a lot harder to do in the NFL. I mean, there's only 17 games. The only one,

you know, you don't have the ball enough unless you're like a quarterback. Quarterbacks make so much money. Like, what are you going to just start throwing incomplete passes? Like,

if you're a basketball player, you feel like you can, you can like, if it's like prop driven, you can like impact the pro, you can like impact the game, like even going back to some of the college scandals. Like you could go, you could impact the game as a point guard to make sure that you don't cover, but you still win. It like a quarterback in the NFL, like, what are you going to do?

Like, you just throw away a couple possessions.

Like, you're going to lose. So, yeah, there's, there's, it's just, it's a whole different ballgame. It'd be so much harder to do in the NFL. In football, the only time, it's happened before, like the college ranks with quarterbacks.

It's much easier to do in basketball.

It doesn't really surprise me.

A lot of people are going to point to legalization as a reason for this. I actually

have a different take, and it's that part of the reason we're catching some of this stuff. Now,

you could say like the prevalence of props and all that stuff,

maybe it is more widespread, but this stuff's been going on forever and it would never get

caught. And I think it's now more likely to get caught. So I think it's actually a good thing

that these things actually come to the forefront. So yeah, but not something we have to worry about with the NFL.
