Welcome back. This is You Better You Bet, presented by BetMGM here on the BetMGM Network. Femmia,

and BevFa, hanging out with you guys on this Thursday.

40 minutes from now, we'll be joined by Nick Costos with his thoughts on the Lions and Chargers ahead of the 2025 season.

Of course, the two teams facing off in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game in Canton tonight.

Right now, the Lions a one and a half point favorite total sitting at 34.

We're fired up for some football, fired up for the baseball trade deadline as well, about two and a half hours away. A lot's already been happening since we went off the year yesterday. We'll get caught up on all things, MLB trade deadline. And get some analysis from our guy, Jake Hassan, our baseball officialado here on You Better, You Bet. But joining me right now like he does each and every weekday at 320 Eastern. It's our executive producer, Bill Zimmerman. Bill, what's going on? How we doing today, man? A lot happening in the sports world, which makes for a really, really fun show here on this Thursday. Yeah, jam pack show. Like you talked about it. We've got Hall of Fame game. We've still got eight buckets to do on this show. We've got the, you know, the trade deadline. We've got guests galore. We've got so much going on, excited to get into it. Plus, this is my last work day until August. So that's right. As well. That's right. Bill off tomorrow. Take it next week off. All of next week. There we go. So, G, what are you that plan? Are you guys just showing? No one to a lakehouse.

So. Take it next week off. All of next week. There we go. So, G. What are you having next week? Are you guys just showing into a lake house. So okay pontoon boats and beer. That's what I got planned for next week. Hey man. That was me earlier this month. Pontoon boats and beer. So I'm jealous. I must be jealous. Yeah, that's that's awesome. Enjoy the time. We'll miss you, obviously. And then once you come back, it's going to be an NFL preseason,

ramping up Enjoy the time. We'll miss you, obviously.

And then once you come back, it's going to be NFL preseason, ramping up to the regular season, man, we will be right in the thick of it. But enjoy the time off. Yes, very much jealous. This is like the ultimate Friday for Bill here on a Thursday. All right. Let's get to the stuff that matters most, though, to the audience. Let's get to

the top headlines that we have on this Thursday. Bill, what's the number one story we need to know

this afternoon? All right, Femmy, let's kick it off with football because we have an actual game.

May not have anyone we've heard of play, except for a few guys, but we have an actual game

here. The Hall of Fame game tonight in Canton, Ohio. It's the LA Chargers and the Detroit

Lions. As you mentioned, a couple minutes ago, the lion's sitting at a point and a half favorite.

Total points just 34. But Femmy, here it is. Football games that we can actually bet on. Oh, I'm absolutely fired up for this one. I'm actually right now checking the weather because I saw earlier today there was some rain out there in Canton, Ohio. And I think it was supposed to rain for a good amount this afternoon and early into the evening. But it looks like the rain will subside though by the time we get to kickoff. So no weather concerns.

At can't, sometimes we get lightning.

There's been times where they've, like, just canceled the Hall of Fame game, crossing our fingers that it has not happened tonight because I do want to watch a little bit of football. And I also want to sweat my bet because I bet this game and I bet the Detroit Lions in the first half on the money line. I didn't want to trust it with the full game because like let's see what this Hendon Hooker thing looks like.

So I'm a little bit last preseason.

I don't want to trust it with the full game because like, let's see what this Hendon Hooker thing looks like. So I'm a little bit last preseason. I don't know. Like, it could go one of either way. Like, he could be decent. He could be terrible. The one thing I do like, though, about Detroit, especially early on in this game. I think they're out there looking to accomplish something because they do have a quarterback two competition. Who will the qb two behind jared gop will it be hooker or will it be kyle

allen so like i like teams that are looking to accomplish something in the preseason motivated to go

out there and not obviously empty the playbook nobody would ever do that but to maybe show a little
