Happy Halloween, gamblers! On a special spooktacular episode, Chad Millman and Simon Hunter deep dive into their best bets for NFL Week 9. They tell their gambling audience their favorite NFL matchups across the board, leading up to their final five against the spread bets for their weekly NFL pick 'em pool contest.

NFL betting picks and predictions provided today include their best bets for Sunday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks vs. Washington Commanders. They also dive into the red hot Indianapolis Colts led by Daniel Jones facing Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, a huge AFC matchup between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen as the Kansas City Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills, and Bo Nix and his Denver Broncos traveling to play C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. We get a long look at the Arizona Cardinals facing the Dallas Cowboys led by Dak Prescott, as well as a huge NFC battle with Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings taking on Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions.

| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
| 0:04.8 | Welcome to Sharper Square, presented by Hard Rock Bet. |
| 0:09.1 | We are part of the volume podcast network. |
| 0:11.0 | This is the betting show that makes the squares sharper, makes the wise guys. |
| 0:16.2 | Pay attention. |
| 0:17.0 | I am Chad Milman. |
| 0:18.5 | I am joined by my BFF, my companion, my compadre, professional better Simon Hunter. |
| 0:26.5 | Hello, Simon. |
| 0:28.0 | Chad, how we doing? |
| 0:29.7 | Listen, this is like our official Halloween episode, and for those who don't know, Matt Mitchell is a fiend for Halloween and all themed |
| 0:44.6 | episodes. So I would expect it to be very spooky today. Spookier than the lines themselves. Simon, I know you like to go out and celebrate Halloween. |
| 1:02.0 | It's what all single dudes in their 30s love to do. |
| 1:06.0 | Definitely back in the day, all about it. |
| 1:09.0 | You could just go out and enjoy the festivities. Now, I literally do the old man move. I got a buddy who lives the town next to me. It's a one-known 10 South Jersey. A lot of people know it's called Haddonfield, and they really do it up. These really old Victorian homes, they do up for Halloween. Like, literally make them like haunted houses and like a whole street gets blacked off. |
| 1:29.3 | And it's a middle age shit show. It's a really good time. You basically just go there, walk from house to house, black out, maybe take some psychedelics. Who knows? And it's a really good time. Again, because everyone's in a mask, you don't know if you're talking to a 50-year-old or a 20-year-old. It's a really funny time. So, yeah, definitely going to be a fun night Friday. Yeah, I said to my wife this morning, so, you know, tomorrow's Halloween, how do we get the fuck out of here and go somewhere so we can avoid it all? She goes, what do you mean? There's so many kids who are |
| 2:02.4 | going to come by. We can't disappoint them. I'm like, we don't even have kids at home. She goes, |
| 2:07.1 | I know, but all the kids in their costume, they're so cute. We got to be here, at least for a little |
| 2:12.9 | while. I lost that battle. Yeah, my favorite thing, which you can do if you want to have fun, is I saw there's a guy every year he gives out potatoes. Oh, yeah, I saw this on TikTok. I was loving this guy because kids come by and they're like, I still have my potato from last year. I saved it this whole year and now I have another one. I don't know. I think it's just being funny and the kids are into it. So I just made me think, you know, I don't |
| 2:37.6 | give out candy. I just put a bucket out. We'll put out the bucket and, you know, hopefully people |
| 2:44.2 | are kind and they don't take all the candy at once. That's what we hope for. This is our Thursday |
| 2:49.2 | week nine episode. We're going to narrow down |
