Our division-by-division betting breakdowns will begin at the end of this month. But before we get to that, Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter do our annual table-setter episodes to prepare us for all things betting in the NFL for the 2025 season. Today we do some playoff prognostication with the help of our Action colleague Brandon Anderson. He did a similar episode on the Action Network Podcast with Anthony Dabbundo, and we loved the concept. Together the trio will predict this year’s 14 playoff teams, but Brandon has a little twist. Since NFL moved to 14 playoff teams, an average of 6 teams drop out of the playoffs from one year to the next. Over 40% have been new participants! Without telling them that, Chad and Simon submitted their predicted playoff teams. And in this episode, we go through where the trio agree (3 teams per conference) and where they disagree (4 teams per conference) to highlight the volatility of the playoff race. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s show Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter are joined by Chris Gerlacher, a reporter with Prediction News who's covered the rise and regulation of prediction markets worldwide for several years.  The influence of these prediction markets as businesses has become an increasingly important narrative in the sports betting space overall. Now legal in all 50 states, Kalshi just raised $185M and is valued at $2 billion. Internationally-focused Polymarket announced a raise the same week to hit unicorn status of $1 billion. Meanwhile, prediction markets stand to benefit the most from the continued legislation which impacts professional bettors, as well as continued bans from operators who don’t want their business. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
