| 0:00.0 | What's good, everybody, and welcome into your daily sports betting brand of record. |
| 0:13.8 | We like to call it the early edge. |
| 0:15.3 | We are powered, as always, by the almighty sports line, the best value in all of sports betting, |
| 0:20.2 | and it's not even |
| 0:22.2 | close. What a busy weekend we have at the brand at sports line. Every single sport, except the |
| 0:29.3 | UFC that you can think of, we've got to pick for you. We're covering it this weekend. Now, |
| 0:34.0 | before we look forward, as always, we must look back in a really good day at the brand on Thursday. |
| 0:40.5 | As we hit a bunch of straight picks, Mikey B hit the bucks, me and Mikey cleaning up in golf, |
| 0:46.3 | and then also Xavier last night. Nice little comeback down eight at a half time. They came back to win |
| 0:51.0 | the game on the court and what was one of the best games we've even watched in the postseason this season. Now, let's bring in the stars of the show on this Friday as the women take the court tonight in the final four. Calvin Wetzel, welcome back to the early edge, sir.

| 1:33.1 | in a second. But Mikey, me and you and Juller, we're all over in the Valero, Texas Open today. |
| 1:39.9 | We are all over the Valero, Texas Open today. And I just, you know, it's April Fool's Day. |
| 1:44.4 | We have to start with a little bit of a joke. And I want to tell you, it's my favorite day of this can't pass it. And then I was like, okay, |
| 2:01.3 | all right, they're just messing with me. So this day, it's a win-win for all of us today. |
| 2:05.6 | It really, really is. All right. Let's get into it. Storylines that could affect the betting |
| 2:09.2 | lines today. And I got to tell you, the NBA right now, we are clicking pretty good. But you've got to keep in mind, not every game is going to be like the bucks and the |
