What do Devante Adams, George Kittle, Justin Jefferson, Debo Samuel, and Amon-Raw St. Brown all have in common?

0:06.7

Well, besides being some of the most reliable hands in the game of football, they're also the stars of the new Netflix series Receiver.

0:13.2

From the same team that brought you the show quarterback, receiver takes you deep inside the huddles, locker rooms, and personal lives of five of the best past

catchers and playmakers in the NFL. Catch receiver now playing only on Netflix.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode seven of the Tatecast.

0:49.9

This is not going to be like the last six episodes of the show where it was kind of open format and we talk about, you know, some takes, some football, some soccer, whatever. This is going to be a

0:55.9

preview for the World Cup for betting and daily fantasy purposes. I'm going to go through the odds.

1:02.5

I have Bovada pulled up if you want to look at the odds that I'm using. If you're a sharp

1:07.7

sports better out there, if you, you know, if you're a subscriber to the Action Network and you know how to shop and get all the best lines, obviously these prices on Bovada

1:15.3

are terrible. It's just if you've ever hosted a podcast before, Bovada is the easiest to navigate.

1:21.4

It's the most successful for American customers. That's what most of my friends use.

1:25.9

I'm being joined by Sean Nusham from the Action Network.

1:30.6

How great is it that you're a tout now, man?

1:32.5

You can come on the show and rep a product.

So it's nice. It's nice to finally get that consistent income instead of having to rely off the DFS income. Just consistently punting at DFS, really. Rough times, you know. It's difficult. I mean, I won't, when I won't share my lineups with you, you know, you don't even know what to do. I mean, clearly. Copy and paste my lineup to you. Like, how can you even generate a lineup? Clearly. I mean, that's clearly what certain people on Twitter think. So, I mean, I don't know how I survive out there. Like, it's difficult, right?

2:20.9

It's tough. Yeah. So what we're going to do is we're just going to go through every group of the World Cup, A through, I think the last one is H. We're going to give out some bets that we like. Maybe if we're feeling really nice, we'll give you some set piece takers from these teams for daily fantasy purposes, talk a little bit of daily fantasy

2:39.8

strategy for each of the teams and, you know, predict our winner of the World Cup. And then actually,

2:45.6
