Liv Moods is back, and Let Me Liv is diving straight into the heart of the NFL season! In this episode, Liv recaps Week 1 action while dropping some valuable betting advice for both seasoned bettors and newcomers alike. From wild touchdown celebrations to shaky rookie performances, there’s plenty to unpack—and of course, some hot takes along the way.
Building a Community Around Sports Betting
Liv kicks things off by talking about her vision to create a sports betting community where fans can connect, share their picks, and grow together. With three years of experience in the sports betting world, Liv’s no stranger to the weekly grind of picks, player props, and, of course, internet trolls. But instead of letting the trolls get the last word, Liv is calling on all her listeners to step up and join the conversation.
The goal? Build a betting group that goes beyond just placing bets. She’s planning to launch a broadcast channel on Instagram, where followers can share their picks, create parlays, and even start fantasy leagues together. If you’re new to sports betting, no worries—Let Me Liv promises to teach you everything you need to know along the way.
NFL Week 1 Recap: Tyreek Hill Steals the Spotlight
One of the biggest talking points from Week 1 is Tyreek Hill’s viral touchdown celebration, and Liv doesn’t waste any time diving into the story behind it. Before the Miami Dolphins’ first game of the season, Hill was reportedly pulled over for speeding just hours before kickoff. Fans caught footage of him on the ground with his hands behind his back—an incident that led to one of the involved officers being placed on administrative leave.
But Hill didn’t let the drama shake him. In classic Tyreek Hill fashion, he went on to score a crucial touchdown and celebrated by recreating the police moment on the field. His teammate Jalen Waddell even got in on the fun, pretending to cuff Hill in a playful yet fitting tribute to the wild events of the day.
The Dallas Cowboys Are Already Proclaiming “This Is Our Year”
It wouldn’t be Week 1 of the NFL without Cowboys fans shouting from the rooftops, “This is our year!” Liv pokes fun at Cowboys Nation for their perennial optimism, reminding us that while it’s fun to dream big after one game, it’s important to keep things in perspective. After all, this is the 28th straight season we’ve heard the same tune.
While the Cowboys’ Week 1 performance has their fan base buzzing, Liv emphasizes that we’re only at the beginning of a long season. There’s plenty of football to be played, and anything can happen before Week 18 rolls around. So, Cowboys fans, proceed with caution.
Bryce Young: NFL’s Next Big Bust?
One of the most disappointing performances from Week 1 was rookie quarterback Bryce Young’s debut with the Carolina Panthers. Liv admits she was all in on Bryce Young, even betting on the Panthers to lose by fewer than three points (Panthers +3.5). But, instead of a close game, the Panthers got blown out, losing by a whopping 37 points.
Liv raises the question: Could Bryce Young be one of the biggest busts of the season? Despite his incredible college career at Alabama, where he racked up awards and accolades, his NFL debut left much to be desired. The Panthers, as Liv points out, looked worse than last year, even against a middling Saints team. While it’s still early, Young’s shaky start is a cause for concern.
Is Sean Payton on the Hot Seat in Denver?
As a diehard Broncos fan, Liv turns her attention to Denver’s Week 1 struggles. The Broncos’ offense looked dismal, with only two safeties, three field goals, and a late touchdown from a rookie quarterback. Liv questions how much longer Broncos fans will have to endure losing seasons before head coach Sean Payton faces real pressure.
While it’s easy to blame Russell Wilson for the team’s issues, Liv reminds us that Payton was brought in to fix things. If Denver continues to struggle, Payton’s job security could become a big topic of conversation as the season progresses.
Liv’s Hot Take: NFL Quarterbacks Need Preseason Reps
Liv’s boldest take from this episode? NFL starting quarterbacks should be required to play at least one full preseason game. Week 1 saw a lot of rusty quarterback play across the league, and Liv argues that these kinks should be worked out during the preseason, not in games that count.
Yes, there’s always a risk of injury, but Liv believes that the benefits of getting reps in the preseason outweigh the risks. By the time Week 1 rolls around, quarterbacks should be sharp and ready to go—not using the first game to shake off the rust.
Betting Tips: Don’t Try to Outsmart Vegas
As always, Liv wraps up with some key betting advice. The number one rule? Don’t try to outsmart Vegas. Week 1 once again proved just how sharp Vegas is when it comes to setting lines. Liv uses the Broncos-Seahawks game as an example, where the spread was 5.5 points and the Seahawks won by exactly six points.
If a line looks too good to be true, it probably is. Liv warns against getting too confident heading into Week 2, advising bettors to stay cautious and trust the numbers. Vegas often gets eerily close to the exact outcome, so be smart with your bets and don’t let emotions take over.
