Another week of BangTheBook Radio came to a close with two strong Friday segments.

Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report to talk Clemson vs. Alabama and the four Wild Card Weekend NFL playoff games. Sharp money is out there on all five games, so Adam and Brent had a lot to discuss regarding line moves, where these lines could end up closing, and about how to manage risk with so much public action coming in. 

With five big football games coming up, host Adam Burke enlisted the help of Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com for the full hour on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio.

We're closing out 2018 with a lot of NFL talk on this edition of BangTheBook Radio. Unfortunately, Kyle Hunter's out sick for today's program, so we had a little bit of a different show today. We started out with Joe Everett of DraftScouts and Insider Football to chat with us about the Wild Card Weekend games.

To wrap up 2018, host Adam Burke had a little bit of time to himself on the show to discuss some betting resolutions. This is a time of the year when everybody is reflecing on something or other, so Adam took the time to talk about what worked and what didn't work for him. He talked about what listeners may want to consider as they go into 2019 searching for some adjustments to make.

We wrapped up this week on BangTheBook Radio as only we know how. Host Adam Burke talked about his Week 17 SuperContest picks as he looks to finish the season on a high note.
