Summary
The kickoff of the 2026 NFL Playoffs Divisional round is almost here, and betting expert Chad Millman is joined by professional sports gambler Simon Hunter! Before loyal Hoosier alum Chad Millman flies to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami for the College Football Playoff National Championship game, he joins pro gambler Simon Hunter to discuss all things betting in the Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs! Plus, we hear their reactions to the news that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach has stepped down after nearly 20 years in the Steel City.
Then we hear Chad and Simon provide initial betting picks and predictions for the Divisional round games, covering both spreads and totals as their free SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST continues throughout the playoffs at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/
Today's betting coverage starts with two huge Saturday matchups, as Josh Allen and the wounded Buffalo Bills go to Mile High to face Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. On Saturday night, gamblers experience an NFC West showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Can Brock Purdy and coach Kyle Shanahan get the better of quarterback Sam Darnold? Sunday slate betting picks and predictions cover the up-and-down quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans, who head to Foxboro to take on Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. We also hear the latest betting analysis of Sunday night's game between likely NFL MVP Matt Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, who travel to arctic Soldier Field for a showdown with quarterback Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in the Windy City.
And finally the duo welcomes on friend of the show Joshua "Duck" Nunn, a college football handicapper and co-host of the Big Bets On Campus podcast. Together they discuss the game from every betting angle, and provide the latest betting market information from Florida's only legal sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet. All their final and official betting picks, all in one fast-paced episode! #Volume
