Let's get back to You Better You Bet on the BetMGM Network.

0:11.0

Oh, bring it up, oh, oh. Oh.

0:21.6

Oh, oh. Welcome to the final hour of you better you bet, otherwise known as the power hour.

0:51.5

This has been an awesome show.

0:52.6

It's Femmy at Bedfay, PJ Glasser, PJ filling in for Nick Costos. Nick has been an awesome show. It's Femmia, at Bebuffay, PJ Glasser, PJ, filling in for Nick Costos.

0:57.6

Nick will be back with us on Monday, but the Glassman has been holding things down through the first three hours.

1:03.5

We got a final 60 minutes on deck for you guys that you will absolutely be fired up about

1:08.2

because we're going to break down all the preseason games that we have this weekend, including tonight with 40 minutes from now, our power hour plays. It'll be coming at you here to give you Friday's games in the NFL. We got Major League Baseball with a really fun slate. We'll see if PJ has any WNBA. I don't have any WNBA tonight. I'll go ahead and put my hand up and say I did not

handicap that. Got lost in the sauce with the football. What do you want me to do? It's August. Hey, that's how things kind of broke. But we will get into all the national football league bets shortly. But I did want to pass this news item along that it came out about a half hour ago from ESPN Sham Sharania. PJ, we do have a couple of key dates in the NBA that have been announced.

1:47.5

So Shams went out. hour ago from ESPN Sham Sharania, PJ. We do have a couple of key dates in the NBA that have

1:47.1

been announced. So Shams went out there and put out the opening night and the Christmas

1:52.0

Day slate. So opening night, PJ, will be the defending NBA champion, Oklahoma City Thunder,

1:58.0

hosting the Houston Rockets. So Kevin Durant and the Rockets taking on SGA, J-dub, Chet Holmgren, and the Thunder. That'll be the first game. The second game, I mean, this is all reliable, right? Warriors at the Lakers. Pretty easy. Steph, LeBron, let's put it on opening night. Obviously, Luca's on the team as well for the Lakers, like Luca being like the biggest star on the Lakers. And they're not the biggest star, but the best player on the Lakers. The biggest star, though, being LeBron James. So that's the opening night slate. Christmas Day, five games on the NBA card. I kind of want to compare this to the three that we have in the NFL, but the five NBA games, we have Cavs at the Knicks, Spurs at the Thunder, so Wembe versus Chet, that's kind of like a budding rivalry, Rockets at the Lakers, so Katie and LeBron and Luca on the court together, that should be fun. Mavericks at the Warriors, so Cooper Flagg getting the Day treatment. I like to see that.

2:51.2

Mavs at the Warriors.

2:52.1

And then the late night game, T. Wolves at the Nuggets as those two teams renew their rivalry.

2:57.7

What's interesting about that, of course, because the NFL has now since taken over Christmas.

3:03.0

The NBA used to have Christmas.

3:04.3

The NFL now has Christmas.

3:05.4

The NFL slate on Christmas, that will be going up against those five NBA games. Cowboys at the commanders. I think a couple people might watch

3:12.8

that. Lions at the Vikings, a really, really fun game with between two really, really good teams.

3:18.8

And then do a cap it all off as you're sipping your eggnog after opening up all the presents.

3:24.0

Broncos at the
