I have to say, I’m glad you opened today’s newsletter, because I have some big news — Well, it’s big news for me, but maybe not for you — legalized gambling is coming to Tenne see!That’s big news because I live here. For the past three years Danny Mendick Jersey , I’ve been circumventing the state’s gambling rules by betting Kohl’s cash on everything and although that has been exhilarating, I’m ready to graduate to the real thing. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this $11,000 in Kohl’s cash that I still have, but Christmas is right around the corner, so I’m sure I can think of something. I might even buy a present for Cody since he’s done such a great job of holding down the fort and getting this newsletter out every Wednesday.It’s nice that I can now gamble legally since half this newsletter is about gambling. By the way, if you like gambling or this newsletter or me or have ever shopped at Kohl’s, be sure to tell everyone you know to subscribe to the newsletter. All you have to do is .

People love when you share political stuff on Facebook.Alright, let’s get to the rundown.1. Today’s Show: Daily fantasy picks and advice for Week 8If you’re like me and you want to win some money that’s not Kohl’s cash, then a good way to do that is to play daily fantasy. On Thursday’s episode of the podcast, Will Brinson was joined by guru Frank Stampfl, and they went over all the best fantasy options for the 12 games that are being played on Sunday in Week 8. During the podcast, Brinson and Stampfl offered their best value plays for the week, so let’s take a quick look at those (These are guys you can purchase for $4,000 or le s).Brinson: Patriots RB Rex Burkhead ($4,000). Trying to figure out which Patriots running back is going to get the bulk of the snaps in any given game is like trying to do a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded: It’s nearly impo sible. However, Brinson thinks he’s got things figured out this week and that’s why he has Rex Burkhead as his best value play.Stampfl: Browns TE Harrison Bryant ($3,200). With Odell Beckham out for the season, Baker Mayfield is going to need someone to throw to and that someone could very well end up being Bryant. The tight end is coming off a career game against the Bengals where he caught four pa ses for 56 yards and TWO touchdowns. He also has a friendly matchup coming up this week against the Raiders.If you want to make some money this weekend, Bo Jackson Jersey . 2. Getting you ready for Falcons-PanthersBack in April, I promised myself that if there was an season, I would not complain about a single game, so I’m not going to complain about the fact that we’re getting two teams with a losing record for tonight’s game. I’m simply not going to do it. I mean, I should, but I’m not. I was actually excited about this game because I thought it was going to give us the return of Christian McCaffrey — he’s on my fantasy team and I cry every week he’s out — but unfortunately, he won’t will be keeping him out for at least one more week.As always, Jared Dubin handled our preview for Thursday Night Football. As Dubin notes, although the Panthers won this game the first time around 23-16 back in Week 5, Julio Jones didn’t play in that first meeting and he’s going to be on the field tonight. That’s important for the Falcons, because their offense has averaged 31.5 points per game this year when Jones is on the field (They’ve averaged 21 points in the two games he’s mi sed).As for the Panthers, Dubin won’t be surprised if Teddy Bridgewater has a big game and that’s because the Falcons defense is giving up a 113.8 pa ser rating to opposing quarterbacks. Dubin’s prediction: Panthers 30-24 over Falcons.For Dubin’s full .3. NFL Trade Miguel Gonzalez Jersey deadline: One deal each team should look to makeWith just five days to go until the NFL trade deadline, I’m fully expecting there to be total chaos over the next 120 hours and Cody Benjamin decided to get the chaos started by proposing 32 trades that need to go down before Tuesday’s deadline. I’m not sure if Cody is trying to get a general manager job in the NFL, but if he is, someone should hire him because these proposed trades are fantastic. Cody made 32 proposals so that there would be one for each team. Let’s take a quick look at three of the proposals.Dolphins trade Ryan Fitzpatrick to Cowboys. Although the Cowboys are absolutely horrible, Nicky Delmonico Jersey the fact of the matter is that they play in the NFC East, so winning the division is still po sible. Benjamin thinks they should go after Fitzpatrick and you know what, I kind of like the idea. Dolphins get: 2022 fifth-round draft pick.Texans trade Will Fuller to Packers. If the Packers simply would have drafted a receiver this year, we wouldn’t be speculating about a potential trade like this, but here we are. Green Bay could use some receiving help and since there’s a chance the Texans could have a fire sale, they seem like a good trading partner. Texans get: 2021 third-round draft pick, 2022 conditional fifth-round pickPatriots trade Stephon Gilmore to Raiders. I don’t think Bill Belichick is going to be willing to deal Gilmore unle s the Patriots are out of contention, which could actually happen if they lose to the Bills on Sunday. At that point, there will be almost no chance for the Patriots to win the division and Belichick dumping a sets in exchange for draft picks is something he would absolutely do. Patriots get: 2021 first-round pick, 2022 fourth-round pick.For the rest of Cody’s .4. Week 8 NFL Best Bets from two guys who are on a rollJordan Dajani and Tom Fornelli don’t know each other, but maybe they should starting hanging out, because they’ve both had a pretty decent year with their . Dajani is currently 61-38-3 against the spread on the season, which means if you had been betting his picks every week, then you’d have enough money to buy your own Money Bin and . With that in mind, let’s check out one pick from each guy for Week 8. Dajani: Raiders (+2.5) upset Browns. “I’m not sold on the Browns, and I’m not going to praise them for mounting a comeback against the one-win Bengals. They have a -21 point differential this season, which is the third-worst point differential by a five-win team through seven games since 2000.” Dajani’s pick: Raiders 28-24 over Browns.Fornelli: Patriots (+3.5) upset Bills. “If there’s a game for the Patriots offense to get right, it’s against Ervin Santana Jersey this Bills defense. The Buffalo defense ranks 26th in rush defense DVOA, and that’s something we know Belichick will be happy to exploit on Sunday.” Fornelli’s pick: Patriots 23-17 over Bills.For a look at Fornelli’
