Billboard Latin Music Week 2022: Touring, Publishing and 'Power Players' panels on tab

Does everything about Latin music move you?

If so, you might want to make plans to be in Miami all of next week. 

 (Billboard) Latin Music Week, a six-day conference featuring showcases with varied performances, dozens of panels and the Latin Music Billboard Awards (Show), airing live Thursday, September 29 on Telemundo, returns to Miami for it's 32nd edition from Sept. 26-Oct. 1. 

Here is a rundown of a few of the top panels.

'The Power Players': (Billboard) Latin Music Week's signature panel, brings together Jorge 'Pepo' Ferradas, Eric Perez and Isael Gutiérrez to openly discuss their respective strategies in developing successful music acts such as Camilo and Rauw Alejandro.

'Latin Touring Goes International':  

Well-respected industry manager Rebecca León moderates a discussion on the overall success Latin artists such as Camilo (200,000 tickets sold in his return to Spain this year) and Bad Bunny (top selling artist in ticket sales) are having all over the world. Wisin Y Yandel and Live Nation reps will join León to discuss the magic behind selling tickets at a torrid pace -- while singing in Spanish.

Latin beats: Billboard Latin Music Week returns to Miami, starting Monday, Sept. 26, for it's 32nd edition.

'How To Choose An Indie Distributor' 

With Latin music going super global, a growing number of distributors are always at the ready with options for emerging and established artists - while many eye different territories and countries. Reps from OneRPM and Cinq Music peel back the curtain on a variety of  hybrid deals, including label services and production budgets.

NFL/College football best bets this week : It's time to bet against the Bills and Hurricanes.

> Old rivals highlight the NFL's Week 3 betting board as the Dolphins (2-0 SU, ATS) host the Bills (2-0 SU, ATS) with early-season AFC bragging rights on the line. Buffalo, coming off a dominant Monday night home win, has had little trouble with Miami in recent years, but the Dolphins (+6), underdogs for the second straight week, are feeling pretty good after a miraculous win against the Ravens and have a chance to make quite a statement vs. the Super Bowl-trendy Bills.

> Can the Cowboys (+1), aided by a very good defense led by Micah Parsons and a little help from Cooper Rush, put the Giants to sleep as short road 'dogs on Monday Night Football? 

> Is Mario Cristobal, charged with getting the home fav Hurricanes (-26.5) ready for Middle Tennessee a week after a listless performance at Texas A&M, really over his head at Miami? 

How old is too OLD to wear a football jersey?

Last week, I promised I would officially retire from making anymore football picks in this space. Seriously. It's officially the weekend and you're probably busy googling 'Drinks', not consumed with an NFL and college football betting hack coming off a 2-4 week, which included sending you to sleep on Monday night feeling like a total loser --  after the Vikings wet the bed in Philly.

But at 9-8 and still over .500 for the season, including (4-2) in the NFL and (5-6) in college football, we're just going to forget about what happened at Syracuse last Saturday and move on to another week of best bets - instead of putting on a fake mustache and moving to San Juan, Puerto Rico, because why look worse than I already do? 

See you at the cash window, everyone.

Bills @ Dolphins (+6.5): I'm not betting long-term on the Dolphins or people who wear football jerseys - especially if you are 60+ and have grandkids. However, this is a bad spot for the Bills, playing a third game in 18 days and dealing with a host of injuries to their secondary. Buffalo, on a short week after a Monday night home win, has already criss-crossed the country after opening the season in L.A. The Dolphins, feeling themselves a bit after sneaking up on the Ravens from way behind, have opened talks with the City of Miami Gardens to build a Tua Tagovailoa statue. Bet the home 'dog, kids.

Heads up: The Dolphins (+6.5), coming off a straight up, come-from-behind win in Baltimore as a road underdog, host the Bills in an early-season AFC clash at Hard Rock Stadium. Photo Courtney: Getty Images

Cowboys @ Giants Under 39: Have you watched the Titans or Panthers lately? I thought so. Now, the Giants, and specifically QB Daniel Jones, have to deal with a star pass-rusher in Micah Parsons who helps the rest of the 'Boys D disrupt the offensive flow of any opponent. Dallas, still without QB Dak Prescott, was fortunate against a mediocre Bengals defense last week. Let's trust it's a quick moving game and Cooper Rush is on his best behavior. Bet the under.

Middle Tennessee (+26.5) @ Miami: Who doesn't love a honeymoon? Unfortunately, I think Mario Cristobal's cafecito is running out of steam rather quickly. The Blue Raiders have the kind of pass rush capable of giving Miami, a huge home favorite, some serious problems. I'm also not sold on this 'Canes coaching staff. Bet Middle Tennessee to stay inside the number, if not put a real scare into a Miami team that rarely covers against non-conference opponents. Be careful. 

Favorite son: Mario Cristobal, coming off his first loss as UM head coach after a lackluster performance vs. Texas A&M, looks to get the Hurricanes (-26.5) back in the win column - against Middle Tennessee at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
