Sounds like we might have a little pirate trade to talk about. That should be interesting. But first, our friend Nick Costos. He's on the line right now, host of You Better You Bet, Odyssey Sports Betting Insider, Insider Calls presented by BetMGM. Make it legendary. Check out the latest lines on the BetMGM app. Catch You Better You Bet weekdays, 3 to 7 p.m. Eastern. And You Better You Bet countdown to kickoff Sundays, 11 to 1 Eastern, leading up to kickoff on the BetMGM network and the Odyssey app. Nick, have I made you a Bo Nix believer yet? Here we go. We're tied. Yeah, I guess we are tied at this point, right? Good job by the Broncos last week beating the Green Bay Packers. I lost money on that game.
I did bet Green Bay. Overall, a winning week for me last week, and that is Sports Betting Content Creator 101. Yes, I may have lost this game, but let me tell you about a bet that I won also. So, yes, that was a loser for me last week, and good job by you with the Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. So where do we decide this, Nick? I think this should be the deciding game this week. Can I pick a game, perhaps, where there's a discrepancy and we'll have a little lunch on the line? Well, I think now I'm still one up, right? Limits, is that correct? No, from what I believe, you were one up, but after this past week, we are now tied again. I think that's because I think we pushed a couple weeks ago with Packers-Bears, and I was two up, and then you won last week, so now I think I'm one up still.
That's true. You're right about that. He's right. Of course he's right. He's always right. Well, I don't know if I did like the Packers. Yeah, we can definitely work. Yeah, what do you like this week?
What are Nick Kostos' thoughts on the Steelers vs. Lions game?
And we can see if we can find a discrepancy. We can do that now or at the end if you want. I think we should do it right now. I think that the Ravens are going to win and cover against the Patriots. You like that one? I do like New England, but they're potentially down three starting members of their secondary. I don't want to make that bet. Well, let's see if we can find another one. How about this? If we can't find another one, then I'll do that one with you and I'll take New England. But maybe we can find something better. Do you dare pick against Bo Nix again? Because I'm picking them to win outright and cover at home against the Jags. The number's three and a half now. How about this? Do you think it'll be a higher scoring or lower scoring game?
Donnie, I'll let you go there. I'll go higher. I'll go higher. Well, I like higher also. How about the Bears and Packers? I'll go Packers on the road to cover against the Bears and win outright. You know what? I'll take Patriots plus three. Okay. Let's do that, Donnie. You like that? A little Sunday night fun. A little Sunday night fun. Nothing better for a Pittsburgh audience than you guys betting on the Baltimore Ravens to win a cover on Sunday night. The ultimate kibosh. That means they'll go down. So am I a Yinzer now? Am I using that correctly, even though I'm a New Yorker, since I'm taking the team to beat the Ravens and help the Steelers coming up on Sunday night? I think so. Yes. Unofficial Yinzer. Yes, you are.
It's great to be here. What about this game? From New York to Yinzer. 9-6.5, Lions over the Steelers. What do you got on this one? So Pittsburgh has been the preferred betting side in this game, guys, because this number was 7 for a lot of the week. So we've now seen the number come off 7. And we are expecting a high-scoring game here. The total in the game is 52. And I do agree with the move off 7 towards the Steelers. And I think last week was pretty interesting, right, what the Steelers were able to do to Miami. And that was kind of like a men versus boys game. It was pretty embarrassing for Miami, honestly. Also featuring, and Joe, I believe you're like an old-time wrestling fan, right? So I think you'll appreciate this reference.
I am a little bit more than Joe. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. So just to use a more modern reference then, like when Darnell Washington caught that pass in the flat and like took seven dolphins to bring him down, that's like the spot at the Royal Rumble every year where like the great Khali's in the ring and it takes like eight wrestlers to get him over the top.
