  • His process for betting the NFL draft, and how it has changed since last year (7:45)
  • The best time to bet the draft (16:24)
  • Responding to new information (19:15)
  • QB Malik Willis and not thinking like an NFL GM (22:19)
  • Is there more value in betting on later rounds of the NFL draft? (25:58)
  • A general principle for predicting the NFL draft (32:32)
  • Seven bets on the NFL draft that Matthew has made (33:25)
  • The most intriguing team coming out of free agency (52:07)
