Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football and Monday Night Football.
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 9, starting with Seattle’s 28-0 first-half dominance over Washington behind Sam Darnold’s near-perfect performance and Jackson Smith-Njigba’s 129-yard night. They discuss NFC West odds, Seattle’s legitimacy, and Darnold’s resurgence replacing DK Metcalf with new depth. The Commanders regress toward mediocrity while Jaden Daniels’ arm injury raises concern. Survivor pool chaos sees major eliminations with the Packers’ and Lions’ upsets, while Rams and Chargers deliver wins. In betting markets, downgrades hit Houston (due to C.J. Stroud’s possible injury), Green Bay after a shocking loss to Carolina, and Indianapolis after six turnovers against Pittsburgh, while the Chargers drop slightly with another lineman injury. Upgrades go to the Panthers, buoyed by Bryce Young’s steadiness and Rico Dowdle’s run game; the Vikings after upsetting Detroit behind J.J. McCarthy; and the Steelers’ steady improvement. The Bills’ win over Kansas City restores faith, though the Chiefs still own them in the playoffs, while Josh Allen edges into MVP favorite status despite Matthew Stafford’s impressive season and 17 TDs. The conversation shifts to Stafford’s elite play, Rams’ contention in the NFC West, and how the MVP race could open up beyond Allen or Mahomes. They preview Monday Night Football—Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys—where Jacoby Brissett replaces injured Kyler Murray. Munaf prefers Brissett’s current form, citing his efficient recent starts (275+ yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) and the Cowboys’ leaky defense, predicting a high-scoring shootout. Mackenzie notes the market swing from Cardinals +2.5 to +3.5 with Murray ruled out but leans to the under before conceding that both teams’ defenses point toward the over. Munaf and Mackenzie expect strong passing performances from both quarterbacks, with Brissett’s prop at 246.5 yards and Prescott’s at 266.5, supported by a trend of opposing QBs torching Dallas’ secondary. They propose a same-game parlay: both QBs 250+ yards, over 53.5 total, Cowboys -3.5, paying about +650. They plug Pregame.com’s SNAP15 promo for discounted picks and highlight Mackenzie’s NBA hot streak, encouraging listeners to grab his season-long NBA package. For best bets, Mackenzie takes the Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 over the Pacers, expecting regression for both teams, while Munaf’s top play is Brissett over 35.5 pass attempts, citing his prior games (44 and 36 attempts) and Arizona’s reliance on his arm. They close thanking listeners, teasing upcoming contest, survivor, and NBA pods, and expressing excitement for the rest of the NFL and NBA seasons.
