Hello, my name is Nigel. Jason Hammer right over there with a very special guest on the hotline.

**Jason Hammer** (0:16)
He is a professional sports better. He is the man that owns the company, Follow Never Fade, followneverfade.com. David Stephanoff joins me.
David, my man. Happy NFL season. How are you?

**David Stephanoff** (0:33)
Hello, Hammer. Hello, Nigel. Thank you for having me. Yes, NFL is back a couple of days ago. We're ready to make people some money and all the juniors out there. Thank you for following. Let's make some money.

**Jason Hammer** (0:42)
Yes. Yeah, I got to win some money back. I had a rough night last night, David.
I didn't get any help at all from the Rams. I didn't need them to win even. I just needed them to score a couple of times, and they couldn't give me that. The old decrepit grandpas.

**David Stephanoff** (0:59)
They just looked like they...
San Fran looked... Everybody counted San Fran out. They looked healthy. Their defense was impressive last night. The Rams looked... They couldn't move the ball. Bad turnovers. And the coach pulls the starting quarterback with about four minutes to go. I didn't understand that at the end of the game, but anyways, we'll move on. Let's make some money with this Colts game this weekend, though.

**Jason Hammer** (1:18)
Let's do it. So this is what we're going to be doing throughout football season. David is the pro.
I'm the Joe. I'm not a professional sports gambler. I'm just a guy that does it an awful lot.

**Nigel** (1:29)
And I'm the joke.

**Jason Hammer** (1:33)
So each week around this time, we will give you a Colts pick of some kind and any other game that we want could be college, could be the NFL. David, I'm making this perfectly clear. You're not allowed to pick high school games, OK? I know you're a degenerate, but you can't be picking the winner of the new pal game. OK?

**David Stephanoff** (1:55)
No problems. OK, we'll keep it legal. 18 and over.

**Jason Hammer** (1:58)
Got it. All right. Colts and the Ravens home opener opening day.
Baltimore is a three and a half point road favorite against the Indianapolis Colts. The over under David is around forty seven and a half. What are you thinking?

**David Stephanoff** (2:17)
OK, well, we know how the Colts are. I this game, I'm not going to be at my heart. I know who you're on, Hammer. We're not going to tell anybody yet, but I love new offensive coordinator for the Ravens, new head coach for the Ravens. I coach the best two players or two of the top three offensive players. Daniel Jones, Pierce, both not healthy. I like the under in the first half of this game. I think both with two new coaches from Baltimore.
You know, the offense, you have the same guys from my actual, they're going to try to run the ball. The Colts know what they're going to expect. Lamar Jackson is a turnover machine. I just don't know if Daniel Jones and Colts are going to come out on all cylinders at first. I think it's going to be a slow start for both teams, a lot of new things going on. I like the first half, Colts, Ravens, under 24 But before I do that, just for Nigel, every week, we're going to do, we're going to do it anytime touchdown, Mo Ali Cox.
Every week, we're going to bet it. I love betting Mo Ali Cox. Whenever it hits, we're going to, I'm going to write it. I'm going to put $10 each week and we're going to write it. Whenever it hits, we'll donate to whatever the Mo Ali.

**Jason Hammer** (3:24)
I love it.

**Nigel** (3:24)
Oh, we lose him?
David. Oh, no, we lost him.

**Jason Hammer** (3:29)
We lost him. There he is. There he is. We lost you for a second, but we got you back. All right. So David is on the under 24 first half.
I, I'm taking the home team with the points. I like the Colts plus three and a half. Now, David, I know this, but explain to those who may be new to sports betting, why 3.5 is so important compared to just three.

**David Stephanoff** (3:56)
In NFL football, unlike most of the things, in college, there's a lot of two-point conversion. NFL's key numbers, three, four, six, and seven, maybe ten sometimes. Phil Go games, a lot of games in NFL, people bet the favorite to go lay three. If you get three and a half, a lot of games, if you go back in NFL, a lot of games are divided by three points or less. And you're catching, you're catching the Phil Go and the hook means you land on three, you're gonna win the tie. Especially the home team, I like your, I like the home teams in first week in NFL. They're known to cover in the first week. They're really, plus a lot of home dogs went out right. I don't know if the Colts are ready to win out right. But I just think, you know, you're getting the Phil Go and the health of half a point.
