It has been a 4 man show all season long, but it started with this trio: Pregame Pros Marco D'Angelo and Vegas Runner, and Host Gill Alexander.  As a tribute to that initial format, the three keep the circle tight and dissect the Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots (AFC) and the NY Giants at San Francisco 49ers (NFC) from every conceivable betting angle.  It's the last NFL MegaPod hurrah of the year before the super-sized Super Bowl Props edition.  Plus, VR gets into a UFC and ESPN-related Twitter war.  It's all on Friday's Betting Dork (January 20, 2012).

Their Sunday evening fall routine coming to a close, Pregame Pro Dave Essler and Host Gill Alexander discuss the NFL playoff picture, assess next week's betting lines, and highlight the rare opportunity to take advantage of correlated parlays, something specific to this time of year, on Sunday's Betting Dork (December 18, 2011).

It starts off like any other week.  Host Gill Alexander welcomes back NationalFootballPost.com NFL Analyst and Writer Joe Fortenbaugh to the weekly roundtable to break down this weekend's matchups from a betting perspective, with Pregame Pros Marco D'Angelo and Vegas Runner.  Then, after no mention of Tim Tebow is made in the first 16 minutes, audio glitches begin. When the talk finally gets around to the New England Patriots at Denver Broncos, the audio returns to its pristine form, only to suddenly cut off when the chronically Tebow-fading D'Angelo steps up to the mic.  Divine intervention?  You be the judge.  Oh.  That, and the Pittsburgh Steelers at San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals at St. Louis Rams, and Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans, the big favorite most likely to lose outright, and game with least value on the spread.  But if it's a full dissertation on the Pats/Broncos line movement you want and the single most definitive Tebow stat there is, this is the place to be, on Friday's Betting Dork (December 16, 2011)
