PointsBet, a live betting company, announced that former quarterback Ryan Leaf has joined its talent roster and will be hosting ‘The Straight Line with Ryan Leaf’. The show will be broadcasted four times a week with NFL editions on Monday, Thursday and Friday and a college football edition on Wednesday.
Premiering on September 8, the show will feature the biggest NFL and college football storylines, with wagering analysis, targeting spreads, totals, player props, futures and more.
It will be broadcast via PointsBet’s new digital studio located in downtown Manhattan. The PointsBet Studio will be the home to multiple shows per week with the capabilities to live-stream, record video podcasts and create social-first content.

“With the unveiling of the PointsBet Studio, we’re able to produce and curate content in-house that is tailored to the PointsBet user. We couldn’t be more excited to kick off the NFL season with content produced alongside our newest brand ambassador, Ryan Leaf.”
Leaf has an illustrious career in professional football, having played for the San Diego Chargers, the Dallas Cowboys (between 1998 and 2001), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks. He was selected second overall in the 1998 NFL draft by the Chargers and spent four years in the league.
Speaking about his new show, Leaf remarked: “I’m thrilled to join the PointsBet team as we work together to produce premium football content during this upcoming football season. With PointsBet’s market-leading emphasis on live betting options and their best-in-class user experience, it was an easy decision. I’m eager to use my knowledge of the game in a new and exciting way that connects me to sports fans and bettors on a regular basis.”
