FIS Podcast Pilot: Monica Madrid w/ Special Guest Erica Davis from FOX Sports

Football is back, and so are we. Our Football Is Sexy pilot episode, hosted by CEO Monica Madrid, comes in hot with guest Erica Renee Davis — a powerhouse journalist, on-air host, and betting analyst for NASCAR and football.

It’s the perfect storm — literally. Erica calls it her “Tornado Season” because both NASCAR and the NFL are colliding, and she’s in the middle of it all.

From pop culture bombshells (Taylor + Travis 👀💍) to Week 1 NFL predictions and betting odds, this episode is packed with chaos, sass, and strategy.

🌟 Meet Erica Renee Davis

Erica is more than a journalist. She’s a sports storyteller. You’ve seen her on FOX Bet Super 6 and FOX Sports, breaking down the NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, and more with her sharp takes and contagious energy.

Whether it’s dropping betting advice, breaking news, or bringing her signature flair to live coverage, Erica is the type of analyst who can read a game, a play, or even a relationship (yes, Taylor + Travis, we’re talking about you).

🚨 Segment 1: What the Helly?!?!

The episode opens with chaos — Monica is literally driving when her phone blows up: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged.

Or as we call it… your English Teacher and Gym Teacher are getting married. TNT emoji, please. 💥

Monica and Erica dissect the New Heights Podcast, overanalyze every detail of the relationship, and of course, Erica throws in the betting over/under on their marriage. Because why wouldn’t we turn pop culture into prop bets?

Then it’s time for football money moves. Terry McLaurin’s $93 million contract gets the spotlight, along with the long parade of QBs he’s caught passes from. Terry ain’t poor no more!

The ladies also dive into Jayden Daniels’ impact and how that connects to the drama of the week — Micah Parsons’ trade request. Between nachos on the sideline, nine-figure demands, and Jerry Jones’ classic negotiation games, it’s basically Love Island: NFL Edition.

And just when you think it’s over… let’s just say the ending teaser will have you hitting replay.

💪 Segment 2: Flex or Next?

The ladies ask the big question: Is Joe Flacco a Flex or a Next?

At his age, is he QB depth or already on his AARP paperwork? The Browns clearly believe he’s still got enough to keep them in the playoff picture. Respect where it’s due — Cleveland always finds a way to stay in the headlines.

The convo also swerves into Shedeur Sanders, who’s been riding both hype and heat. The ladies weigh the good, the bad, and the messy — asking if fans have already written him off too fast. Because when your O-line isn’t even full roster material, can anyone judge you fairly?

🏈 Segment 3: NFL Week 1 Predictions

This is where it gets juicy — NFL Week 1 betting lines, matchups, and Football Is Sexy hot takes.

• Thursday Night Football: Eagles vs. Cowboys. The Super Bowl champs versus a Micah-less Dallas defense.
• Friday Night Lights (Brazil Edition): Chiefs vs. Chargers in Brazil, complete with Kerry G performing. The ladies spice it up with some TMI on Brazilian blowouts and waxes. ✨
• Jets vs. Steelers: Aaron Rodgers’ diva demands, QB swaps, and chaos in the making.
• Bills vs. Ravens: MVP vs. MVP. Did Josh Allen deserve it? Did Lamar get snubbed? Or should the crown go to a running back since, yes, running backs matter?

✨ Final Whistle

The wrap-up? Erica drops her pick for Comeback Player of the Year (better get your bets in). And of course, Monica delivers her thoughts on the 49ers’ road to the Super Bowl — especially since this year’s big game is at Levi’s Stadium.

From Taylor Swift engagement odds to NFL contract drama to Week 1 betting predictions, the pilot episode of Football Is Sexy delivers heart, sass, and serious football talk.

This is just the beginning — and trust us, you don’t want to miss what’s coming next.

Big love to Erica Davis, the crew at Sunset17 Podcasts in Long Beach, and our Football Is Sexy squad for bringing this show to life!
