The Supercontest show is back, now with a slightly different format since the actual Supercontest is over. That said, Blackjack and Chad's love for each other hasn't changed at all, which is truly all that matters.

Chad and Scooch relive their (lame) New Years Eves and then look back on the year in NFL betting, including Chad taking out his betting vengeance on a colleague.  Then Chad and Scooch talk through the Wild Card games. In what game are the public and wise guys aligned? Why are the Bears laying 6?  Also, how many points is Lamar Jackson worth, compared to Joe Flacco? What is Baker Mayfield worth? And how many points is Nick Foles worth, compared to Carson Wentz? The answers will absolutely surprise you.  Plus details on the live podcast Jan. 28 in NYC (actionnetwork.com/favorites).

Chad and Blackjack do their usual battle for five picks in the last week of meaningful games of the NFL season. But they're joined by a special guest, who's budding rivalry with BlackJack is becoming ... problematic. But it'll get settled.  The guys agree quickly on a few games (NE-BUF) and are on opposite sides of a few others (SEA-KC).  Plus, BlackJack has a message to the Patriots, after backing them all year - but fading them preseason.  For more on the live podcast Jan. 28, please go to actionnetwork.com/favorites!   Follow us @thefavoritespod for bonus content during the holiday week! 2:27 WSH-TEN 2:33 BAL-LAC 3:34 CIN-CLE 5:41 TB-DAL 6:03 MIN-DET 7:07 BUF-NE 12:15 GB-NYJ 12:50 HOU-PHI 19:22 ATL-CAR 20:14 IND-NYG 21:40 JAX-MIA 21:56 LAR-ARI 22:19 CHI-SF 23:44 PIT-NO 25:19 KC-SEA Learn more about your ad choices.

First, another song from the Skootles that will enrage Mrs. Scooch (should she listen, which she probably won't). Then, Chad and Scooch go through the entire slate of Week 16 games. What is the most lopsided game on the board? Are the pros really siding with Buffalo against New England? Is Minnesota for real, or just the next example of recency bias?  Then...

BlackJack is ill today, but the guys are able to pull it together to make more square picks. Can BlackJack convince Chad to lay 2.5 with New England in Pittsburgh?

Scooch is hot off of Vegas's second-best weekend of the season (thanks, Raiders, Cardinals, and Jags!). So hot, he even sings his first song of the year.... which makes sense, because he reveals he is IN A BAND AND HAS BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME?!?! Scooch explains why he thinks one disappointing team will bounce back this week, the difference between Mitch Trubisky and Chase Daniel (if there is one), and what two games are surprisingly drawing the most money this week. Plus, can the Patriots can break their weird curse playing in Miami, and who wins the NFC East matchup between Philly and Dallas this weekend? 9:30 TEN-JAC 11:49 LA-CHI 14:58 CAR-CLE 19:15 NO-TB 20:23 IND-HOU 22:05 NYG-WASH 23:08 BAL-KC 24:40 GB-ATL 27:45 NE-MIA 29:54 DEN-SF 31:33 CIN-LAC 36:15 DET-ARI 36:27 PIT-OAK 38:15 DAL-PHI 45:35 MIN-SEA Learn more about your ad choices.

Did anyone cash a single bet this weekend? Yikes! Geoff, Paul and Blackjack are back at it this week to take some money back.  Paul continued his run of hilarious bad beats, and then Blackjack and Geoff give a eulogy for the miserable week gone by.  With college football winding down, some new sports enter the parlay this week (maybe that'll help change their luck). Can New England finally shake Miami on the road? Will Indy bounce back after a shutout loss? What the hell is happening with Carolina?  9 picks for $20,000 - don't miss it.

Off a rough 1-4 last week, Chad and Blackjack have a hard time landing on five games they like this week, even though Georgina is back to save them from each other.   Can Blackjack convince Chad to bet Kansas City as massive road favorites against Oakland?

Welcome to another week, and another Parlay show, with Chad, Paul, and Geoff. This week's picks are heavily centered around the championship games taking place in the MAC, Pac-12, Big 12, SEC, and AAC--those are the ones that the guys came to a consensus on, at least. Moving over to the NFL, LoDuca floored it, throwing caution into the wind, and Chad grabbed the emergency break, challenging one pick and talking Paul out of another. Time is running out on this football season, and Chad is getting serious.

It's Thanksgiving, and even though Chad is in the Greenwich mansion and Blackjack is in Florida, the boys still come together to insult each other and agree on five NFL picks against the spread.  Do Colt McCoy or Chase Daniel make it into the five?

Can the boys pick something other than bad teams... for once?  Note: Georgina has a Thanksgiving bye week, but she'll be back next week.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Week 12, THANKSGIVING WEEK, which means a lot of Thursday football watching while full of food, drink, and potentially regret. As always, Chad and Scooch are here to help you navigate your way through the week's lines. Chad doesn't like many of the games, and, as a bookmaker, Scooch doesn't really like Thanksgiving. Ultimately, though, the guys were able to pick out at least a couple of matchups that look good for this weekend's slate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In advance of eating preposterous amounts of food, this Thursday, Geoff, Paul, and no, not Chad--Blackjack-- build a nine-team parlay, largely based around the NFL's Thanksgiving games. Don't worry, though, the guys also make their usual college picks (as is tradition). Oh and, as Chad's proxy, Blackjack defends the honor of the Bears against Paul's wild claims about their defense. 5:16 Geoff pick 8:34 Paul pick 12:46 Blackjack pick 14:26 Geoff pick 16:53 Paul pick 22:53 Blackjack pick 25:21 Geoff pick 28:08 Paul pick 30:51 Blackjack pick 32:59 Parlay recap Learn more about your ad choices.

You get Chad and Blackjack, trying to make five picks for the chance to win over one MILLION dollars in the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest.

The Millimonster and bookmaker to the stars, Scooch, are back, dissecting the lines for all of the NFL's Week 10 matchups. Also, since Chad and Scooch are men of the people, they made an announcement on last week's show that will help you to make smarter bets. You can now submit your bets for judgment via voicemail, every week.

It's another Monday and another Parlay Show, where Chad, Geoff, and Paul pick nine games they like for the upcoming week, using the earliest lines available. Chad couldn't make this week's show, so Geoff took over as host and ceded his usual spot to a tidal wave of charisma, packed into a cowboy hat and blazer--Blackjack Fletcher! The NFL lines weren't very appealing to the boys, so most of the games in our parlay were plucked from the upcoming college slate. There was one pick from the NFL, made by Paul, and to say that it infuriated Blackjack would be both a lie an an understatement. I don't want to ruin the pick, but let's just say Paul is putting some faith in a guy whose name rhymes with Candy Malton. 6:45 Geoff Pick 9:25 Paul Pick 11:45 Blackjack Pick 13:29 Geoff Pick 15:46 Paul Pick 19:11 Blackjack Pick 21:05 Geoff Pick 22:49 Paul Pick 25:36 Blackjack Pick 27:58 Parlay recap Learn more about your ad choices.

Chad and Scooch tackle the lines for each and every NFL Week 8 game, and there are so many line changes that even Scooch got tired of the celebratory line change horn.

The word of the week is: Contrarian. If there's a good team to bet against, the guys are doing it. Go big or go home, right?

Before going through, and analyzing, all 16 of this week's NFL games with bookmaker Bob Scucci, Chad takes care of some important business. Simply put, Scooch needs a theme song. He's a legend, and should be treated as such. We came up with two options, and now the rest is up to you. Time for a Twitter vote. Aside from figuring out Scooch's sonic identity, Chad takes some Twitter Q+A, including a question about when the best time to make a bet is. Also, Scooch takes you behind the scenes of how he set his lines for this week's games:  Cleveland-New York Jets (10:40) Carolina-Cincinnati (14:34) Saints-Falcons (16:59) Denver-Baltimore (20:03) Tennessee-Jacksonville (23:34) Buffalo-Minnesota (24:27) Chiefs-49ers (28:21) Indianapolis - Philadelphia (31:57) Oakland - Miami (33:35) New York Giants-Houston (36:07) Green Bay - Washington (41:12) Chargers-Rams (42:30) Chicago-Arizona (44:18) Dallas - Seattle (46:37) New England - Detroit (48:45) Pittsburgh-Tampa (50:45) Finally, Scooch Roulette.

Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, and the guys' first attempt at a 9-team parlay had ... mixed results. Chad went undefeated. Geoff and Paul didn't fare quite as well.  But before getting to the betting there were a few questions to answer...are the Bucs for real (6:00)? What do we make of Cleveland's defense? Had our two athletes ever seen anyone pull a Vontae Davis and retire mid-game before (12:00)? Then, the guys each give us their three favorite bets for the upcoming week (14:00). Along the way, Geoff tells a story about playing against Peyton Manning, we hear about the guys' longest win streaks in the pros, and why Chad Millman freely admits to liking the FAVORED Cleveland Browns in Week 3.  Welcome to The Favorites.
