Welcome to the favorites, the podcast from the volume podcast network. I am Chad moment, cheap content officer of the action network.

We're kicking off the second of our Super Bowl, 2 week cycle previews, huge show today, before we announce our guests, I want to welcome in my BFF, my companion, my compadre, professional better Simon Hunter, hello, so I'm in.

Hello, Chad, how you doing? I'm so good, brother, listen, for those listening on amp, we're giving away two new favorites hoodies to two lucky listeners at the end of our show today, courtesy of the volume podcast networks, a new merch store,

Also reminder, coming up next week, next week, next Tuesday, might be the most important podcast we do before the Super Bowl, other than this one and then when we did on Tuesday and maybe the one we do next Thursday.

Chris Raybond and Sean Kroner, who are two of the top five most accurate projectionists according to fantasy pros, and that's a reason I'm reason I'm emphasizing fantasy pros, we're going to talk about Super Bowl props on Tuesday, on Thursday, right before the Super Bowl, our Thursday episode, best bet show with brand and Anderson.

But today a very special episode with two very special guests, I mentioned fantasy pros joining us today, my former nemesis at action network, the man who I am so sad, he still not at action.

Matthew Friedman, now the director of content at fantasy pros and betting pros, the man who is responsible for making sure Raybond and Kroner are ranked, and I love that he holds no animosity against these guys as former colleagues of his and he still ranks them so high, that's how credible fantasy pros is.

Well, hello, Friedman, I should say hello to you.

Hey Chad, thanks for showing up on time, it's great to see you, it's great to see Simon to I don't even know why Simon's here, he is in the bag in England, but cross continent, that's some commitment to the contract.

The hardest working menu, Jenny, you can ask me about my trip, you see what I'm dealing with here Freeman, we've got a selfish boss here at action, God is going to ask me how much trip in England's going, he's just right to the picks in the business unbelievable.

Yeah, I know, this one of the reasons I left so selfish and Chad rest assured, even though we are no longer at the same company, I am still always your nemesis.

It's true, a couple of things are true, number one, I don't care about the people, number two, you're my nemesis, number three, Freeman's right, I was late because I was having a very important meeting with the CEO of better collective, the company that bought action network, he's in town from Copenhagen, it ran a little long.

I couldn't tell him that I had to go ditch for some podcast with, you know, some old Englishman who's half in the bag and some dude who used to work with us, but he would have been sad that I was keeping our next guest, Evan Abrams waiting, of course, Evan is a director of research, probably the only beloved person by me at the company, total genius makes everything we do at action better and he's a mixture with our bet labs database, all of this is true.

I listened to him on this morning's episode of my favorite podcast, the action network podcast with Ray Bonn and Stucky, great Q and A episode covering Super Bowl betting data, he gathered so much info, we had to have him on this one as well, it was too much good stuff for just one episode, so he's here to take us through some of the trends and betting nuggets he has for Super Bowl 57 between the chiefs and the Eagles.

Evan Abrams, hello, first of all Chad, someone needs to back you up, someone needs to say something nice, it's been a good start for you, so I'll be here to say something nice and then probably, you know, then, dig you later, but it's okay, we'll start, we'll start fun, but I'm going to give you some information, so I'm going to give you three facts that I gave on the 10 pod yesterday, I think we should repeat, but let me go through them quickly because you should go back to listen to that episode.
