Experience

Brandon is an NBA and NFL staff writer for Action Network. He's been betting on something sports related for pretty much his entire life and writing fantasy football columns, weekly NFL picks articles, and futures awards long shots picks over the past couple decades. Brandon worked as a freelance writer over the past decade with featured work at Sports Illustrated's The Cauldron, Sports Pickle, Grandstand Central, Pivot Analysis, BetMGM Sports, and elsewhere.

Education

Brandon studied Bible and Math at Wheaton College (IL) and got his masters in Biblical Exegesis there. When he wasn't studying, he spent most of his time working at the school's Phonathon, where he called alumni and parents and asked for financial gifts for the school. He went on to run the Phonathon program for a decade and then spent half a decade consulting in the fundraising and development world on Phonathons, grant research, writing, and data analysis. What are you talking about -- working at Action Network is a perfectly natural progression!

Wiggins and youths for KD, send it in. Superbook odds. If KD goes, this becomes a coin flip. If not, whatever, go Steph. 6/30/22

Trey Lance+5000
2023-24 NFL MVP
0.5u
NFC wide open, only 1 of the top 8-10 QBs in the NFC and this is the likely starting QB for a possible 1 seed at a wild bargain. Could he be next year's Jalen Hurts? SF is loaded with weapons and blocking, and Shanahan turns every QB into gold. Add in Lance's rushing threat on top of the passing and he could explode with defenses focusing on CMC, Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk. Major discount on odds because of the SF QB situation. These odds will be cut in half or shorter by Opening Day if he's starting.

Bijan Robinson+450
2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
2u
He's the fav, but should be way shorter. ROY goes to a top 12 pick (15 of last 19), it's opportunity and teams feeding the high pick Atlanta turns dudes off the street into 5 YPC backs. Arthur Smith will make Bijan how new Derrick Henry and feed him 300+ touches. Could be an immediate monster, like contend for rushing title type upside. Far and away ROY favorite. Ludicrous number. Multi unit play. DK 4/27

Breanna Stewart+300
2023 WNBA MVP - To Win
2u
Stewie is the favorite but should be by more. Top 3 MVP all four years since breakout, darn near won it last year despite t-5th best record. Superstar on top 2 team and “deserves” a second, while voters may not give Aja a third in 4 years basically putting her on par with Leslie Swoopes etc among the all time greats. Narrative heavily favors Stewie getting a second on a new team in a major market. Honestly not sure this should even be +200. I might halve it to +150. Joining @TurveyBets here 🤝

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Every time I spot a wild long shot futures bet and pre-tell the narrative on how that player will make a run at the award and then slowly watch the odds fall from 150-1 to 75-1 to 25-1 to 5-1 as the national media finally has the conversation. Think Joe Ingles 6MOY.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Every time that wild long shot futures bet ends up losing anyway even at immense value after making an incredible run, making me feel both genius and idiotic simultaneously. Think Jordan Clarkson 6MOY.
