About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Brendan Sorsby's gambling addiction on Texas Tech's football season and betting odds.

Brendan Sorsby is away from Texas Tech to address a gambling addiction — and it could have major implications for the college football betting market. Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down what this news means for Texas Tech, how the odds have already started to shift, and whether this changes their outlook as a legitimate College Football Playoff contender. With Will Hammond expected to step into the starting role, the guys discuss what to expect from the new quarterback, how the offense could change, and whether there’s any value in the Heisman odds market going forward. Is Texas Tech still a threat in college football? Or does this news lower their ceiling when it comes to winning a national championship? This episode dives into everything bettors need to know — from line movement to futures value — following the Brendan Sorsby update. 🔵 New to FanDuel Sportsbook?
