Marvin McNutt, Doug Wagner and BettorEdge Guys Join Hawkeyed - S5E22

Hawkeyed with Dave O'Hara

In this episode of *Hawkeyed*, Dave O'Hara sits down with Iowa's all-time great wide receiver, Marvin McNutt, to discuss his unique journey from quarterback to wide receiver and how it informs his perspective on the current Iowa football team. Marvin shares insights into the team’s offensive evolution, noting how quarterback Brendan Sullivan's play style has unlocked new possibilities for the offense, particularly with dynamic running backs like Kaleb Johnson.

Marvin also touches on the improvement of Iowa’s defense, which has found its rhythm and become a critical part of the team’s success. He emphasizes the importance of complementary football, with special teams stepping up to create excellent field position.

As the Hawkeyes prepare for a challenging match against UCLA, Doug Wagner from iHeart Media joins the discussion to offer his thoughts on Iowa's dominant performances and the hurdles they'll face on the road. Doug believes the team's offense, defense, and special teams are all firing on all cylinders, and he’s confident that Iowa is peaking at the right time.

The conversation then shifts to *BettorEdge*, a social sports betting platform, where co-founders James Seils and Greg Kajewski discuss the company’s growth and how the Iowa football team’s success—particularly Kaleb Johnson’s standout performance—has increased betting interest, including buzz around his Heisman candidacy. James notes that while Johnson isn’t yet in the top 10, his performances could push him into the spotlight, especially with big upcoming games like the one in Pasadena against UCLA.

Greg also highlights the unique, low-pressure nature of *BettorEdge*'s social betting platform, which allows bettors to engage more casually. The platform also supports charitable causes, where users can donate a portion of their winnings to charity. Greg mentions the platform’s partnerships with organizations like TB1F and Chad Greenway’s “Lead the Way” Foundation.

This episode offers an in-depth look at Iowa football’s current form, the growing interest in betting on their success, and the positive impact of charitable initiatives tied to sports betting.
