Episode 179: Weak-Bad Fix

In Episode 179 of The Mouthpiece, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow covers it all — from wild poker swings and finding balance in mix games, to his NFL season win total bets and Week 1 predictions.

Mike opens up about losing confidence in certain poker formats, making adjustments to his game, and booking a huge comeback win. Then the focus shifts to football: his top futures bets on the Bills, Bengals, Bucs, Lions, Steelers, and Panthers, plus why he thinks the Ravens can win the Super Bowl.

The episode closes with sharp talk on trendy “over” picks, why he’s fading the Jets, and why Dallas +8 on opening night could be the steal of the week.
