What's up, everybody?

0:10.7

Welcome to the Early Edge.

0:12.6

We've got a great show lined up for you today because we've got a big night of Thursday night football.

0:18.2

And, of course, Major League Baseball playoffs.

0:20.6

And we've got the team to break it all down for you. And by the way, that team includes you, Kareem and Scott and Joe and Jason, Farsat in here, fantasy life in here. Let's see how we did yesterday. We didn't have a lot of picks. I was one of them. And oh my goodness, did Delaware not show up for that game? My bad, Delaware minus two

0:38.9

and a half doesn't even come close. Buckets hits his even money parlay and Amex had the Mariners.

0:44.1

That was looking good at first until it absolutely wasn't. We go one and two, but we've got a lot of

0:49.8

picks. We got a lot of ability to rebound for this show. Let's bring in the stars of the show.

0:55.3

This is a heavy hitter lineup.

0:56.8

And I got to be honest, guys, no pressure. We kind of need a bounce back. It's been a few days in a row. We've had some, I wish I could call them middling picks. And part of this is on me. I've had some bad picks myself over the last week. But sniper, Larry, Mike, prop stars, we're going to need to turn it around.

1:12.3

And prop stars, I have to start with you because you are the king of turnarounds, although that's turning it around for our show. You've been absolutely on fire. I know you have another prop for Sunday that you're bringing to this show. We've got a lot of Thursday night stuff, but I just got to give you a pat on the back because you've been red hot fire. Thank you, see you. Good morning, gentlemen. Yeah, I'm fired up. This is the NFL season. I live for this. We're in the thick of things. Larry and I are still alive in the Circa Survivor contest. So that's very exciting. We'll be making our pick probably within the next couple of hours as well. But yeah,

1:44.9

just kind of surveying this landscape that we have this Sunday, also starting tonight as well.

1:51.4

There's some great matchups, and I think I'm going to have quite a few props again this weekend.

1:55.7

I'm just looking forward to getting down to business. Larry, are we going to leak what teams you guys

2:00.8

are considering, or are we just keeping that under wraps? I don, are we going to leak what teams you guys are considering,

2:01.9

or are we just keeping that under wraps? I don't think we need to take any victory laps.

2:05.8

We've hit six. We have to go 20 and O to even get a share of this, so way too early. But yeah,

2:11.7

it's exciting to be alive with about 4,400 other people in Vegas.

2:18.3

Sniper, we got two games tonight.

2:20.3

Anything surprise you from last night's game?

2:22.1

I mean, that, again, it looked like, oh, we're on our way to 3-0,

2:25.6

and then all of a sudden it was just over.
