| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:11.5 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:13.1 | We are brought you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:16.8 | We've had some pretty great, I don't want to say legendary, |
| 0:19.5 | but some pretty great recap screens over the last couple of days, really the last few days on the winning side of it. Let's see how we did before we bring in the stars of the show, and one of them is sitting right next to me in studio, folks. Three in one, Jeff Hockman hits again, back-to-back days where he hits the Ottawa Senators. Larry Hartstein hits his pick very easily. E.C. hits his play on the over. And Tom Casale had that over 12 and a half points. Well, listen, PJ Edwards had 10 in the first half and somehow didn't get to 13. So very easily could have been 4-0. But ladies and gentlemen, we'll take 3 in 1. And we'll take this cast right here, right now, on the early edge. |
| 0:55.2 | Because ladies and gentlemen, we've got Taft Gant sitting right next to me. We got Mikey B. We got Mike McClure, and we've got Sien Najad buckets. I don't, okay, that's fair. Oh, top button. I totally get it now. All right, Mikey B, I want to go to you first, |
| 1:10.3 | but first I got to go to, |
| 1:11.6 | because we got the NBA stuff to talk about, |
| 1:13.3 | but Taft, you're sitting right. I totally get it now. All right, Mikey B, I want to go to you first. But first, I got to go to, because we got the NBA stuff to talk about. |
| 1:28.2 | But Taft, you're sitting right next to me. You got some golf picks. I'm sure you're looking great. I'm sure the looks like game is alive and well in the chat. How you doing, buddy? Super Bowl week just means waste management for the golf market out there. if you're not ready to wait until Sunday to sweat out those bets, |
| 1:30.9 | let's give you some bets to sweat out for the next four days. |
| 1:49.1 | I'm so happy to be here with you. Thanks, man. WM. Phoenix Open. Mike McClure, you got to be pretty excited about this one. I mean, golf season is very much underway. Yeah, we have the Super Bowl to sweat. You got a lot of Super Bowl commentary you've been given out across all the different CBS platforms. But how excited are you about the Phoenix Open? It's the start of the golf season for me. See ya. None of the fake golf tournaments with multiple courses and all the all that. |
| 1:55.3 | Look, yeah, this is the start of the season. And I'm very fired up for it. I love the field that we |
| 2:00.0 | have. Scotty, a ridiculous |
| 2:02.1 | 25% Sim win percent for me. Love it though. I think it creates a lot of interesting questions |
| 2:08.4 | in the market. Huge DFS slates for it as well. Multiple million dollars out there on the line |
| 2:14.5 | in DFS for golf this week. So absolutely loving everything that's going on this week. Yeah, I know there's been some questions, Mike, about some DFS stuff. We're going to try to get something carved out for everybody. But if you have DFS questions in the chat, put them in there. If you have questions, golf related, put them in the chat. Buckets, what's up with the top button? By the way, you look amazing today. |
| 2:35.7 | Thank you. |
| 2:36.9 | No, just trying something new, you know, |
| 2:39.1 | trying to mix things up a bit, |
