Welcome to Sharp or Square presented by Hard Rock Bet. We are part of the volume podcast network.

This is the betting show. The number one betting show. It makes the squares sharper and makes the wise guys pay attention.

I am Chad Millman and I'm as always, by my co-host.

My BFF, my companion, my compadre professional better, Simon, Hunter.

Hello, Simon.

Chad, how we doing, brother?

Dude.

So at the end of our show on Sunday night,

we were talking about favorites dominating, and it feels a little bit like

they are picking up where they ended last season. They were winning at such a rate last year

that the biggest sportsbook operators in the world, in their earnings calls in the third and fourth quarter of the year,

had to reduce their revenue projections because of what they described as customer-friendly outcomes.

It means the favorites are winning too much, right? And that means the public is winning too much

because all the big favorites are covering and winning outright.

So our pal Evan Abrams, greatest researcher in the world, had a tweet on, I don't know, Sunday night, Monday morning, that favorites who closed at more than four are 12NO straight up this season, 64 and 7 since week 13 of last year.

Faves of six plus points are 47 and 4 in that span.

A reminder over this past weekend, the four-point favorites were San Francisco, one.

Baltimore, one. Detroit, one. Buffalo, one. Rams. One. By the way, those teams all covered as well.

The two that didn't cover, but still one, were the Cowboys and Cardinals. The Cardinals who gave it away in the final five minutes.

So it's why we added Simon,

that money line round Robin for favorites.

The dogs can't win.
