BangTheBook Sports Betting Talk Radio Podcast February 9

Our Thursday mega show is coming your way with about 90 minutes of content to get you ready for this weekend and beyond. We'll start things off with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com for this week's "Powers Picks" segment. The focus is now on college basketball for Brad, as he keeps working in the background on college football and the upcoming NFL campaign. We'll talk about his contrarian betting styles and talk about the different ways that handicapping basketball can work in both college and the NBA.

Next up, Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com joins us for this week's College Basketball Capping segment. We'll talk about another round of upsets in the college basketball world and also take a look ahead to the weekend with his top situational and technical plays of the weekend. College basketball is unique in that there are wide gaps in terms of opponents. Should we still be taking the full body of work into account? Is it best to limit it to conference play at this stage of the game?

Jay Primetown of MMAOddsbreaker.com is back on the broadcast with an in-depth look at UFC 208. This event is in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center and features a main event between Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie for the new women's featherweight title. Anderson Silva and Glover Teixeira are also on this card, so we'll get some picks and predictions from Jay to help you bang the books this weekend.
