[Ep. 30] 2026 Big 12 Betting Preview: Win Totals, Futures & Best Bets

College football preview season rolls on at Good Bets Good Times, and this week we're diving into the chaos of the Big 12 — the Monster Energy Big 12, if you're nasty. Nate breaks down the top betting favorites to win the conference — Texas Tech, BYU, Utah, Kansas State, and Houston — plus a 30-to-1 dark horse worth a sprinkle and a rapid-fire run through the rest of the league. We dig into futures prices, win totals, and the schedule spots that actually matter: why Texas Tech at plus-100 is a live buy even after the Sorsby saga, where the real value sits in the Kansas State market, why the top-heavy favorites are all a pass at their number, and the TCU long shot Nate's betting on Jaden Craig to pop. Plus win-total plays on Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and a few leans we're still waiting on a better price to pull the trigger. No touts, no Vegas-insider nonsense. Just clear football betting talk for degens and weekend warriors who want to win a little more, lose a little less, and have a damn good time doing it. Next week: the Big Ten.

[Ep. 29] 2026 ACC Championship Betting Odds & Preview — Top 5 Contenders + Dark Horse

College football preview season kicks off on Good Bets Good Times, and we're opening with the ACC. Nate breaks down the top five betting favorites to win the conference — Miami, SMU, Louisville, Clemson, and Virginia — plus a dark horse worth a small sprinkle and a rapid-fire run through the rest of the league. We dig into futures prices, win totals, and schedule spots that actually matter: why the Miami favorite number is a pass, where the real value sits in the SMU and Louisville markets, whether Clemson is a brand-name price or a live buy, and the Virginia bet that's already on the card. Along the way, a quick lesson on why you can bet a team's under and their conference futures at the same time — median outcome vs. tail. No touts, no Vegas-insider nonsense. Just clear football betting talk for degens and weekend warriors who want to win a little more, lose a little less, and have a damn good time doing it. Next week: the Big 12.

[Ep. 28] NFL Win Totals 2026: 5 Bets I've Already Placed

NFL win totals are posted and the lines are already moving. On Episode 28 of Good Bets Good Times, I walk through the 5 NFL over/under win total bets I've locked in for the 2026 season — why I'm getting down this early, where the value is, and which numbers are already gone. This isn't a picks service. It's how I actually think through win totals: raw model line vs. market-adjusted line, hit probability, and finding the right price across 12+ books. The 5 bets on the board: * Los Angeles Rams * Philadelphia Eagles * New York Jets * Pittsburgh Steelers * Buffalo Bills Plus the ones I'm still circling: Buccaneers, Falcons, Ravens under, Cowboys, Cardinals, and a Jaguars number that looks too good to be true. Why line shopping and getting in early actually wins you money over a full season — and the bets that already aren't available at the price I got. — New episodes drop every Wednesday.

[Ep. 27] What Kind of Sports Bettor Are You? The 6 Tiers, Honestly

What kind of sports bettor are you actually — not what you tell the group chat, what you tell yourself when nobody's watching? In this episode of Good Bets Good Times, Nate breaks down the three main tiers every bettor falls into — the Weekend Warrior, the Recreational Sharp, and the Aspiring Pro — plus three sideways tiers that get less honest airtime: the Picks Buyer, the Degenerate, and the Problem Gambler. The pitch is simple: most of the noise in this space pushes you to climb some imaginary ladder toward pro status. For 99% of recreational bettors, that's the wrong goal. The right goal is knowing your tier, being honest about it, and being the best version of yourself within that lane. You'll get actionable steps for every tier — bankroll discipline and line chopping for the Weekend Warrior, CLV tracking and specialization for the Rec Sharp, and the brutal realities of what it actually takes to bet professionally (mid-six-figure bankrolls, getting limited at every book within weeks of winning, and watching sports stop being fun). Closes with five principles that apply no matter where you land: know your bankroll, line chop, don't chase, track everything, and only bet what you can afford to lose. Follow the show so you don't miss next week's episode — diving into NFL win totals with a bunch of leans Nate's been working on. Hit him up on X @ntsports22 and let him know what tier you're actually in. Cheers.
