Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk all this sports and NFL Week 8. The guys also discuss Monday Night Football.
he SOVAM Weekend Rewind Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers covered NFL Week 8, previewing Monday Night Football between the Commanders and Chiefs while recapping Sunday Night Football where Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers beat the Steelers 35-25, improving to 5-1-1 as Love threw for 360 yards and 3 TDs with Tucker Kraft dominating tight-end day. They discussed the Steelers’ defensive issues, Rodgers’s average play, and Tomlin’s streak of mediocrity possibly ending with a sub-.500 season. Rivers predicted an 8-9 finish, noting upcoming tough games versus the Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Bears, Bills, Ravens, Dolphins and Lions, while debating AFC North parity as the Ravens regained control. They shifted to survivor-pool carnage where half the field was eliminated after losses by Atlanta and Cincinnati; Colts backers advanced thanks to Jonathan Taylor’s MVP-caliber performance. Munaf mocked the Bengals’ 39-point home loss to the Jets and noted Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury. Market-mover talk highlighted the Vikings’ downgrade after JJ McCarthy’s return, with debate on whether he or Carson Wentz deserved to start; the Saints’ decline after a 3-point game vs the Bucs; and the Falcons slipping while the Patriots, Texans, Broncos, and Chargers were upgraded. Rivers praised D’Amico Ryans and C.J. Stroud for outcoaching the 49ers as Houston’s balanced offense impressed despite missing Nico Collins. They agreed the Texans’ defense and Stroud’s consistency could make them a dark horse, while the Chargers’ road dominance and Titans’ late-game passing props (Cam Ward overs) offered betting value. They lamented a dull Week 8 where favorites went 10-2 ATS and most games were blowouts. For Monday Night Football, they liked Washington +10.5, arguing Marcus Mariota’s mobility could keep it close, with Mahomes now MVP favorite but Kansas City poor ATS as double-digit favorites. They built a same-game parlay: Commanders +10.5, Mariota anytime TD (+370), and Mariota over 234.5 combined yards for +950 odds. Discussion ended with AFC threats to Kansas City—Rivers ranked Bills, Colts, Broncos, and Patriots behind the Chiefs—while Munaf agreed the Colts’ Week 12 matchup at Arrowhead would prove their legitimacy. They closed with best bets: Rivers’s same-game parlay (+950) and Munaf’s Mariota rushing over 29.5 yards, then promoted pregame.com’s Jump 25 code (25% off NBA and college basketball packages, $431 NBA or $656 combo). Rivers admitted his NBA season started 1-5 but promised a rebound citing positive line value and encouraged followers to buy low; he also mentioned his Twitter hack and warned against Bitcoin scams. They closed by teasing contest, survivor, and NBA pods later in the week as the NFL season crossed its halfway point.
