• The Weekly Wager 3.18.26
    Mar 18 2026
    The Weekly Wager with Ben Brust and Josh DiMaggio went live from the Potawatomi Sportsbook as the madness officially tipped off. With the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament underway, the focus was simple: find the best value and cash in. The guys dove into First Round bets, highlighting key spreads and totals, identifying upset alerts, and calling out matchups the public might be getting wrong. From bracket busters to sneaky value plays, they zeroed in on games worth targeting during the most unpredictable stretch of the tournament. Looking ahead, they broke down Championship futures — separating true contenders from overvalued favorites while spotlighting sleeper teams with realistic paths to a title. The goal: lock in strong numbers before the bracket chaos shifts the odds. Beyond the picks, the show emphasized strategy — how to approach the First Round versus later rounds, when to bet early versus waiting things out, and how to manage risk during one of the wildest betting weekends of the year. And as always, the audience was part of the action — debating national champions, upset picks, and best bets live as the madness unfolded.

  • 2-28-26 Saturday Scramble - Green Bay Packers’ NFLPA Grades Plummet — Is This on LaFleur & Gutekunst?
    Feb 28 2026
    Saturday Scramble has you covered this morning with Pablo Iglesias and Wally Lukachinsky The Green Bay Packers just took a major hit in the latest NFLPA Report Card — and fans should be paying attention. After ranking 7th overall last year, the Packers dropped all the way to 21st in the NFL. The grades? Concerning. Poor marks in treatment of families, training room facilities, training staff, offensive coordinator evaluation, and even head coach Matt LaFleur ranking near the bottom in player respect. What happened in Green Bay? Why did the organization’s reputation decline so sharply? Is this a front office issue under Brian Gutekunst? Does this change how we should view LaFleur as a leader? And how quickly can the Packers realistically fix this? We break down what this means for the culture inside Lambeau, whether this affects free agency moving forward, and if Packers fans should be concerned about long-term organizational stability. Plus: 🏈 A quick look ahead to the NFL Combine — how would WE stack up athletically? 🔥 “Riled Up” returns with the takes you’ve been waiting for. If you care about the future of the Packers, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Is this overblown… or is something actually wrong in Green Bay?

  • Ben Wins $800 at the Slots, Builds a Parlay + Packers Ticket Drama - The Weekly Wager 2.25.26
    Feb 26 2026
    Live from Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, Ben Brust and Josh DiMaggio kick off Weekly Wager… a few minutes late because Ben got stuck at a slot machine winning $800. To make up for it, Ben promises to give Josh and Strouf $50 each — but the guys decide to roll the $100 into a college basketball parlay instead. They also react to Brian Gutekunst’s comments about the Packers’ inability to close out games. Then things get weird (as usual): 17-year-old Soren from Hartland calls in to continue his ongoing beef with Josh — while walking into church — and casually shouts out his pastor mid-call. The guys pivot to Evan Cohen’s ESPN Radio comments and Aaron Popkey’s remarks about the Packers revoking more tickets, which sends Josh into a passionate rant about a “community-owned” team nickel-and-diming its fans. The show wraps with the crew finalizing their parlay — which could net Josh and Strouf $250 each — and a replay of Ben hilariously yelling at himself on Strouf’s behalf earlier in the day on KBN.
