Bye Bye Ball And Chain, Hello Betting Matters with Jess Udy

The Ball and Chain podcast is history, and Mark Thomas kicks off the new Betting Matters podcast with his good pal, Jess Udy. Mark and Jess begin with the NFL playoff picture, first chatting about Jess' Buccaneers, then moving on to Mark's Packers, and wrapping up with the rest of the NFC and AFC. Then they get into some picks for this weekend's NFL playoff games and Jess talks about some of his recent sports betting wins in the NFL, college football, NBA, and college basketball. Jess breaks the news that he's moving to Miami, and Mark talks about how amazing it's been since he moved to Miami in October. Lastly, they give the big thumbs down to Hub Arkush, the reporter from Chicago that has an MVP vote and who says that he's not voting for Aaron Rodgers for MVP despite him being the best player on the field.
