Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 678 ratings
  • Solid Insights but the gambling & ads are too much

    I am actually a fan of J Mac and his insights. The issue with his pod are numbers of ads (4 minutes of ads to start a podcast) and the gambling aspects leaves me with a grimy feeling so whenever her talks gambling I turn it off

  • Long time fan

    I love the takes from you and Rob G, but can you please keep the politics out of this show! Rob G explaining the Macklemore sitch was great but you’re little jab. Is not needed but I come here for the sports not your opinions on politics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Straight Fire - TNF Bears-Patriots Preview + Countdown to Kickoff co-host Jared Smith
Q: Do you have anything on Thursday Night Football, Patriots, Bears?
Smith likes Chicago at three points. He says Caleb Williams' quick-release throws helped restore his rhythm after injury, while New England's turnovers, road setting, and short week make the Patriots less appealing.

Q: How much are you using AI on the gambling front, and which ones do you kind of prefer at this point?
Smith uses AI daily to learn how to build models, work with databases, and find relevant information such as major college football injury news. He names Gemini, Grok, and Claude as tools he finds broadly comparable.

Q: What do you see around the NFL?

Straight Fire - Author Peter King on the NFL, ESPN & More!
Q: If the NFL expands, is there a market that would work for a team?
King says Germany may be a stronger European market than England, but questions whether a permanent overseas team would work because players may not want to relocate and owners would have to address the salary cap.
