  • Good show

    Good content but the phrase “over here” every other sentence gets really grating after a while. You can’t unhear it once you notice it. Solid show just some (hopefully) constructive criticism

    I would never make a parlay without first listening to this podcast. Not only do interesting people come on the show, but it keeps you listening. Look into the mirror and ask yourself, “do I really wanna listen to the Joe Rogan Experience again?” No, no you don’t. You want to listen to NFL Spotlight and stop making stupid bets.

  • My new go to podcast fot NFL

    Great podcast with wonderful insights (and solid predictions). Ari is great and he must just have the best producer in the biz with Ben Allen setting him up with great questions.
