A former college football star (Matthew McConaughey) whose injuries keep him from pursuing his dreams as a professional player, uses his ability to predict game winners by making his betting picks available on 900 numbers.

But their relationship becomes a power struggle as each man tries to maintain the upper hand. Also with Rene Russo, Armand Assante and Jeremy Piven. Directed by D.J. Caruso. [2:02]
