This week, I dig into the NFL and college football totals settled September 21-27, 2026. Six of the 10 exact totals backed by the most distinct podcasts won. NFL podcast-attributed game totals went 93-63-1, and college football totals went 74-51-1.
Before the report, I walk through how I use podcast clusters as a starting point for research, including a White Sox moneyline example at +130, and check in on The Count. I also talk about where I want to take Betcast so you can research the data in your own workflow.
Shout-outs to the report’s tracked 2026 totals leaders, Tonys Picks for NFL and Sports Gambling Podcast Network for college football, plus the six-show weekly ranking: Sports Gambling Podcast Network, The Feinline, BettingPros Podcast, Tonys Picks, Print Factory | Run Pure Sports, and Bets Utopia LIVE.
These are descriptive results from different lines, odds, and stakes. One week does not establish that podcast support predicts wins or that these groups were profitable. The research example is my experience, not a betting recommendation. Future research interfaces discussed in the episode are plans, not features available today.
Check out the report and let me know what you think.
