The logo of Bet 365 and the Action Network shines on the stage, and I, Chad Melman, Chief Content Officer, welcome you to the Sunday Night episode of the Favorites podcast, where we review the two games we had in our contest and share our thoughts on the upcoming Week 6. I'm joined by my co-host, Simon, and we're both still trying to process the crazy end to the games.

We discuss how the Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson's mistake in overtime led to a brutal loss, and how we wish we could've forced a kick to win. We also lament the Bengals' kicker's missed 53-yard field goal, which would've given us a push. I write in my notes that “no one can stop anyone,” even when the Ravens were trailing in a shootout game.

We examine how the underdogs with six or more points are doing this season, with an 11-8 straight-up record and 16-1 against the spread. The conversation shifts to the Steelers and Saints, who are facing each other tonight and tomorrow, respectively. We look back at our disastrous day, where bad quarterback play and befuddling coaching decisions ruined our chances of going 3-0 or even 2-1.

We'll discuss how the half points are becoming increasingly important, especially with the historically low spreads this season. This week, we'll also touch on the Houston game, where the Texans were up 20-3 in the second half before a shocking late collapse. That game exemplifies our struggles, and we'll get into the details on Tuesday's show.
