| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 917 of the official. |
| 0:20.3 | Establish the Run.com podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | My name is Adam Levittan, and we are gathered here today at the quarter poll of the NFL |
| 0:27.7 | season to discuss the softest remaining NFL betting market. |
| 0:33.7 | It is the awards markets. |
| 0:36.4 | For this, today I am joined by our own award specialist. You can read his column about the awards. Every other week on the site, Ryan Reynolds. How's going today, buddy? You know, looking to chop it up with you and Mark again, man. Like you said, it's the softest market that's still out there. So hopefully we can find some good value. Also joined by the projection savant you know and love, Mark Dankenbring. Mark, how's it going today? It's good. Yeah, this is a really fun show. And I think the future is in awards markets. I just love looking into them. And every time we get the show going, you know, I'm doing the research and the juices are flowing. And so it's really fun to put together a portfolio of like good bets and hopefully give yourself, you know, a great chance to make some money at the end of the year. So I'm really excited to dive in here. On today's show, we are going to discuss seven of the bettable awards markets, MVP, offensive rookie of the year, defensive rookie of the year, offensive player of the year, |
| 1:28.9 | defensive player of the year, coach of the year, and comeback player of the year. |
| 1:33.7 | Important note, we are looking at draft king's markets here on the screen for those of you |
| 1:38.6 | watching on YouTube and we'll discuss mostly draft king's lines. |
| 1:41.5 | But one of the reasons this market is so soft is because there |
| 1:45.2 | are wildly different lines across different books. Be sure, I'm begging you, don't listen to |
| 1:50.3 | Silva. Be sure you shop for the best line. If you need new accounts, be sure to get the sign up bonuses |
| 1:57.6 | when you get those new accounts. To do that, go to the props tab on Establish the Run.com, |
| 2:02.5 | go to the section titled Sign Up Bonus by State |
| 2:06.0 | and find your state site you wanna sign up for. |
| 2:09.9 | Links are all there. |
| 2:12.0 | One more thing I wanna say before we start here. |
| 2:14.3 | This is the one NFL betting area where I do not have a lot of respect for the market. |
| 2:22.0 | I have no respect for the market, actually. I mean, just last year, the books posted, and people |
| 2:26.9 | were blasting into Sam Darnold for comeback player of the year, even though the Associated Press |
| 2:31.4 | who runs these awards, they told everyone coming back from sucking was not the criteria. |
| 2:35.9 | So we got a chance to pile in on Joe Burrow, 5 to 1, 7 to 1, 8 to 1, easy game. |
