Episode Six: Is Bill Belichick’s Time in New England Over?

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 09:00:00 -0700

On another amazing week of the Winner’s Circle, Jenna is officially back and joins Mr. Outlaw and Kade as they discuss a big week in the NFL which included the return of Kyler Murray in the backfield for the Arizona Cardinals and a big win by the 49ers over a surging Jacksonville Jaguars team. As good as things looked for the NFC stateside, things didn't go as planned for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots after a 10-6 loss to the Colts in Germany. With only two wins on the season, could this signal the end of the Bill Belichick era in New England? Mr. Outlaw discusses his best bets of the weekend just before our human encyclopedia Nolan Dalla joins the show in the Bettor Angle, a segment that is bound to help you for this week's NFL games! From the NFL to college basketball, the crew discusses the excitement they have for this week’s Arizona Tip-Off at Desert Diamond Arena; before diving into the biggest game last week, Arizona’s upset win over Duke at Cameron Indoor. While it's easy to focus on the ranked teams, James Madison has emphatically been putting on a show to start the season with an upset over Michigan State and a win over Kent State which was spurred by a very late comeback by the Dukes. From basketball back to football, Harbaugh’s absence from the sideline didn't stop the Wolverines from taking down Penn State and securing another top 10 loss for James Franklin. Despite a big win over Michigan State, Ohio State fell off the top as Georgia is now the number one team in the country, but why make that change now? Jimbo Fisher is out as the head coach at Texas A&M and with the deep pockets the athletic program has, we question what direction the school will go in when deciding their next head coach. Nolan joins us again for the Facts in 40, with a big game in Tucson as the Utah Utes makes the trip for a top 25 matchup. We wrap up the show with Lost in Translation and breaking down the early season suspension of Draymond Green (no surprise there). Sit back, relax, and enjoy the start of your weekend the right way!

In-season tournaments are the big talk of this week’s episode with the start of the NBA in-season tournament and there are plenty of questions surrounding the future of this tournament for the NBA including if these court designs will be a one year thing or if this may be foreshadowing the return of revamped court designs for the NBA Finals and the return of the Larry O’Brien Trophy to the court. With Jenna being out, the remaining crew cannot guess any German phrases so they opt to discuss some college football, including Arizona’s return to the College Football Playoff Rankings for the first time since 2017.

After another amazing weekend of sports throughout the Valley, which included the Diamondbacks winning game two of the World Series, the Suns winning their home opener, the Coyotes beating up on the Blackhawks 8-1 and both Arizona schools getting a win in football, Mr. Outlaw, Jenna and Kade had to come back to reality as the Rangers were on the verge of winning their first championship (which they won Wednesday night). The crew dove into the NFL trades as the trade deadline came to a close which included a Washington Commanders fire sale and Arizona’s starting quarterback Josh Dobbs being traded to the Vikings after Kirk Cousins Achilles injury. A chaos filled and unpredictable week eight leads us into our picks for week 9 of the NFL season which included our picks and a deeper look into player props on the Bettor Angle with Nolan Dalla, a segment you won't want to miss if you plan on betting on the action this weekend! Along with all the major trades and injuries in the NFL, in college football the first College Football Playoff rankings were announced which had the Ohio State Buckeyes as the number one team in the country, but some of us didn’t quite agree with that decision as a particular rival school is considered to be the number one team by one of the hosts on the show… make sure you stay tuned for that. Nolan wraps up our college football talk with the Facts in 40 and the success both Arizona schools had on the football field this past weekend. We end the show with Lost in Translation where we focus on the Coyotes recent success, the Suns tough loss to the Spurs and a quick look at the NBA in-season tournament along with Arizona Tip-Off which will be hosted by Desert Diamond Arena November 17 through 19.

Even though baseball was the focus of many Arizona sports fans, it was still a great week for football especially with all the upsets throughout the league including wins by the Patriots, Giants and Broncos. An uncharacteristic week eight sets the stage for what should be an unforgettable week nine as Mr. Outlaw and the crew give their picks and Nolan Dalla joins in for the Bettor Angle, a segment you want to take a close listen to if you plan on betting on any of this week’s NFL action!

Can the Astros bounce back and secure their third straight trip to the Fall Classic?
