Avoiding the Vig is a weekly (and sometimes more often) podcast oriented around sportsbetting hosted by Deep Marreddy, Jimmy Stroup, and Matt Kitson. In it we make takes, predict winners and losers based on evidence and gut feelings, evaluate the field from a gambling perspective, and try very hard not to make fun of Jon Gruden and Mike Tomlin. We used to make fun of Andrew Luck but he quit playing, so we quit, too. Follow us on Twitter: @avoidingthevig
