SOVam Weekend Rewind - NFL Week 7 + MNF Preview

SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 7. The guys also look at some up and downgrades and talk Monday Night Football. In the latest S&B AM Rewind Show, Mackenzie Rivers and Sleepy J break down NFL Week 7 with humor, insight, and betting angles. Mackenzie, pleased with his 49ers’ resilience, discusses their defense’s bounce back despite injuries, while Sleepy upgrades San Francisco and sees Atlanta as stagnant. They review a wild Sunday, including Denver’s massive fourth-quarter comeback over the Giants, the Packers’ late rally, and survivor pool chaos. The hosts debate the market’s treatment of the Giants versus other teams that blow leads, touching on coaching perceptions and expectations around Kyle Shanahan. They preview Green Bay at Pittsburgh, with Sleepy leaning Packers, trusting Aaron Rodgers to deliver against a tough Steelers defense. Their biggest upgrades and downgrades feature the Rams’ London win over Jacksonville and the Jaguars’ lack of discipline and penalties. Mackenzie hails the Rams as potential NFC West leaders while calling the Jaguars frauds. They credit the Bengals’ resurgence under Joe Flacco, criticize the Jets’ offensive futility, and cite the Patriots’ steady play behind Drake Maye. Both downgrade Miami after a turnover-filled loss and note Tennessee’s continued slide. Dallas earns an upgrade for offensive improvement led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, while Washington suffers a downgrade after Jaden Daniels’ injury and an offense in disarray. Mackenzie sees league-wide regression catching up to teams like Jacksonville and Washington. They promote pregame.com’s bulk dollar deals before turning to Monday Night Football, highlighting Lions-Buccaneers and Texans-Seahawks. Both favor Detroit, praising Dan Campbell’s historic ATS record and the Lions’ balance, though Sleepy warns Tampa can’t keep asking Baker Mayfield to be Superman. Mackenzie defends Mayfield’s career and notes his surprising statistical success as Cleveland’s best modern QB. The conversation turns to MVP odds: Mackenzie names Mayfield as current MVP but expects Patrick Mahomes to overtake him; Sleepy agrees, saying Mahomes offers strong betting value as Kansas City regains dominance. They discuss Sam Darnold’s 60-1 longshot odds and spotlight Seahawks rookie Jackson Smith-Njigba as a rising Offensive Player of the Year candidate. Mackenzie recalls recommending Mahomes at 4-1 weeks earlier and still sees him as the safest MVP pick. Sleepy closes with his Monday Night best bets: under 41.5 in Texans-Seahawks and Seattle -3, citing Houston’s limited offense and Seattle’s defensive strength. Mackenzie agrees, offering line-shopping advice for value bettors and closing with thanks to Sleepy for Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
