Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Early Edge. My name is Cian Ajad, and we are brought to you by

BetMGM, Make It Legendary. Stephen Ciccarelli doing my job for me. He says,

bash the like button on the way in.

I do want to bring in the stars of the show,

but we got to look at the recap screen first. Speaking of like buttons, maybe the opposite here. We have a pretty bad day. All our pre-fop plays lose. If you remember on the recap screen yesterday, buckets had hit that live play. A lot of you got on it. So we had it included. So we have it here, but listen, the pre-fot plays from Tom.

Nevada had a nice early lead. The Devils, but they gave it up. The Devils, that one got away from the Devils quickly. In West Virginia, last second three-pointer from Cincinnati to tie it up, avoids the cover and ends up being a two-point victory instead of a three-point victory. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll turn it around with the stars of the show. Listen, we've had an okay week. We went five and one the day before, seven and six the day before that, but we've got buckets, Mikey B, Martin Green, and Danny Brasco to turn things around today. Two soccer guys. Martin Green, what's going on? It's all going on, Cia. We've got a full slate of Premier League action today. There's Serial games. There's a big Portuguese Cup semifinal. So lots of soccer. Delighted to be on with you, fine gentlemen, talking about it. All right. We got Mike McClure in the chat talking about whatever you want to talk about. Take advantage of that and ask him anything you want. Danny Brasco, how you're doing? And are you here with NFL? We're still on a UFC break. We're not Paramount Plus is not rolled out the red carpet quite yet. No, it's a that six-week hiatus can't come soon. I can't end soon enough. January 24th, we're waiting for Justin Gachie versus Patty Pimlet. That's the big headliner. Amanda Nunes versus Kayla Harrison, but we wait longer. I'm here for playoff football. See you. Mike saying in in the chat, I cannot wait for these games. And I got a pick that I'm ready to lay the hammer on. I actually have a pick that because I cheated and I looked at your pick. I have a pick that sort of ties in with your pick kind of nicely and I can't wait to get your opinion on it. It's a bit of an NFL Super Bowl-ish type future. Buckets, what was going on with your hair for the audio listeners? You were like trying to part it and like heartthrob hair or something. What was going on there?

I don't even know, man. I was just fixing it. I just want to say, see ya. I don't know if this is on.

Bip, bit, bit, bit, bit.

I don't know if this is on purpose,

but any time I go on a cold streak on the early edge, all of a sudden,

Martin de Gourou green comes on,

and it feels like an older brother

or a father figure that's coming on to be like,

Bob. on a cold streak on the early edge, all of a sudden, Martin de Guru Green comes on. And it feels

like an older brother or a father figure that's coming on to be like, buckets, come on now. Like, let's turn it around. So it's always good to see Martin. But usually it's a bad omen for me for some reason. Well, you two will be on CBS Sports Network with me later on from 12 to 1. We're going to do a lot of college football, but we're going to do some EPL as well.

Mikey B, I trust you've got some NBA.

How's the NBA slate looking today? And then we'll get into picks. Very busy tonight. There are a few back-to-back situations that we have to monitor, but a big slate, I believe it's 12 games. We got a lot to look at tonight's year. We got a lot of picks to get through as well.

And by the way, we have a sports line pick with college basketball. But I know we have a big slate today. And I just want everybody to know there's a lot on the horizon. Obviously, UFC picks with Danny Brasco. Golf picks are finally coming back next week, thanks to the Sony Open, kicking things off. But I will tell you that we are committed to trying to

get more college basketball on here and a college basketball voice pretty much every day.

So a lot coming, like especially within the next week or so. It's the amount of picks and the

sports that we're going to cover. We're really going to lean into to all of that that I just talked

about. But Buckets, let's lean into a couple of soccer picks right now. Absolutely. I'm going to lean into to all of that that I just talked about. But Buckets, let's lean into a couple of
