HOUR#1-  Fresh off the AFC Championship game, we are in the studio for this tuesday edition of the LowDown.  Forquer and I dissect what happened to the Broncos against New England, as we go in depth on the issues that occurred, and we talk about who deserves the blame.  A tough way to end the season, in a game that was certainly winnable.  The Broncos move on from their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, and we discuss what the offseason will look like for the Broncos.  The wide receiver room will certainly be a topic throughout the summer, with a handful of big names that will be available.  Seattle beats LA on the NFC side, and Sam Darnold is heading to the superbowl while leading the league in turnovers.  We discuss how he will fair in superbowl 60, and where he ranks amongst SB Qbs of the past.

HOUR#2-   More super bowl talk here on the Lowdown, as we track a couple of big time basketball games as well.  The NFL coaching carousel has a couple of big additions as Mike Mcarthy gets hired to be the next head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Buffalo Bills stay in house and hire offensive coordinator Joe Brady to lead Josh Allen.  We discuss, and I make the comparison of when Pittsburgh drafted Kenny Pickett out of Pitt.  Three head coaching vacancies remain, the Cardinals, Raiders, and Browns.  The Nuggets are back in Denver tonight to lake on the NBA's best Detroit Pistons following what was a pretty hectic road trip. Christian Braun has now been out 10 plus weeks, and Jokic will be out for one more.  The Nuggets are in great shape, but they have a tough test against Detroit here tonight.  Undefeated Nebraska loses in Ann Arbor to Michigan, and I give my take on who should be the Raiders next head coach.

HOUR#1-  The Denver Broncos make a head-scratching trade with the New Orleans Saints, one that involves a bench player and multiple picks.  We break it down here on the LowDown.  Cody Reer joins the show (SmashHitSports) to discuss the looming college football season and some of his favorite wagers that he is looking forward to.  We discuss many blue-chip teams, including the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.   And Micah Parsons trade talks are heating up, we talk about where the all-pro Dallas defensive end will play this season.

HOUR#2- John Rein (VZP Digital) comes on the show to talk about the sanctions and the fallout from the Michigan cheating scandal.  We compare it to other controversies in the past, and discuss the severity of the punishment.  JR gives us a couple of his favorite wagers of the year, and explains why Penn State should not be picked to win a ton of games.  The New York football giants are in the midst of their final pre-season game, Jaxson Dart has slight injury while we are on air.  We talk about the Giants QB room and beg the question of just how good Russ Wilson's receivers have been throughout his career.

HOUR#1- Our first October show of the year, and it feels great.  Unfortunately not for my SD Padres, as they get eliminated in the wild card today by the Cubs.  Forqer and I break down some of these WC playoff games, as we deal with three elimination games today in the MLB.  We also have another Thursday night football game on the slate, as the LA Rams take on the SF Forty Niners in an NFC west division showdown.  The Broncos have arguably the toughest game of the season on Sunday, as they fly to Philly to take on the defending super bowl champs.  Although Philly is undefeated, they have been less than ideal when it comes to throwing the football, in fact they are basically last in the league when it comes to passing the ball, we discuss how this could bode well for the Broncos.  The AFC North this week will be starting Aaron Rodgers, Dillon Gabriel, Cooper Rush, and Jake Browning.  Its only Week 5 !!!

HOUR#2- John Rein (VZP Digital) joins us for our gambling portion of the show today, as we give out our favorite picks for week 5 in the NFL.  Although I have been not been very high on the Detroit Lions, I do love them this week as a ten point favorite against Cincinnati.  After blowing the doors off a great Cleveland Browns defense, the Detroit Lions find themselves going against one of the worst teams in football.  Detroit -10.5 is my play of the week.  Forquer takes the AZ Cardinals covering seven against Tennessee, and JR and I make our own separate wager on the Bills Patriots SNF game.  there is also a great Monday Night Football game on tap the 3-1 Jaguars taking n the KC Chiefs, FGorquer makes the claim that Trevor Lawrence wont get 200 yards.  Some NBA talk to wrap it up, Anthony Davis looks fat.  We talk some hoops to close the show.
