josh lander: lyb origins

Land Your Bets was founded in 2023 by Josh Lander, a seasoned sports bettor and long-time sports media personality. He started the LYB network to give amateur and professional bettors alike a place to learn and get better at betting together. That's why it's about more than just the picks, it's about the process.

Josh creates his own betting projections from the ground up, focusing on advanced volume metrics to find untouched edges wherever he can. This detailed approach allows him to identify mispriced player prop lines, staying ahead of public perception and lazy pricing.

While the NBA remains his bread and butter, Josh also applies his system to the WNBA and NFL, ensuring Land Your Bets members receive sharp, data-driven plays across multiple sports.

In 2025, Josh partnered with Travis, founder of SwishAndKick.com, a platform powered by proprietary AI betting bots that have been built, tested, and refined over the last 10 years. Travis’s bots track recent player performance data, closing-line movement, and injury report updates to create independent player projections and spot market inefficiencies.

However, these models don’t just crunch numbers — they scour the internet daily for every possible edge, digging into podcasts, coaching interviews, beat writer reports, and other real-time media coverage to surface insights most bettors miss. Combined with deep statistical modeling and matchup-based context, our player prop projections offer high-confidence plays that consistently stay one step ahead of the books.

Subscribers to SwishAndKick.com can query these bots directly, getting instant data-driven answers that speed up research and sharpen decision-making.

Together, Josh and Travis formed Swish Land — a collaborative brand that combines Josh’s slate-by-slate handicapping expertise with Travis’s AI-powered analytics. Swish Land delivers daily player stat projections for the NBA, NFL, and WNBA, with plans to expand into UFC and golf.

The partnership gives bettors the best of both worlds: real-time AI insights and human-driven betting strategy, all in one place.

nate weitzer: the weitz stuff

For the first time, Land Your Bets is bringing in another featured handicapper to provide betting picks and analysis! Nate Weitzer is more than just Josh’s co-host on Coast 2 Coast — he’s a respected sports journalist with over 15 years covering the NFL and NBA for The Boston Globe and ESPN.

For the last eight years, Nate has been a senior NFL handicapper for TheLines.com, earning a loyal following with his sharp reads on sides, totals, and player props. His betting edge starts with early market entry — identifying soft lines before the public and sportsbooks fully adjust — and extends to spotting under-the-radar prop numbers days before game day.

Nate blends statistical modeling with film study, coach interviews, injury analysis, and scheme breakdowns, giving bettors insight that goes far beyond the box score. In addition to his bets and write ups, he'll provide:

- Early sides and totals every Monday & Tuesday

- Early player prop looks before most lines are released

- Monday + Thursday Night Football breakdowns

- Weekend game previews and betting analysis
