0:14
Speaker 2: Sunday one and five.
0:15
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
0:18
Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
0:20
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this.
0:22
Speaker 2: Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
0:26
Speaker 2: good day at all.
0:27
Speaker 1: Own four that have not had a good season.
0:32
Speaker 2: Man with bookends slump that I'm on, and the slump continues.
0:37
Speaker 1: I've reached a new pink. Actually, I'm going to burn.
0:41
Speaker 2: My browins hack Man, I don't know what is going
0:44
Speaker 2: on with the Bruins arch hape?
0:46
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I don't even know it's
0:48
Speaker 1: March ninth, I think who even knows? Man, I don't
0:52
Speaker 1: know what data is anymore. I don't even know what
0:54
Speaker 1: data is anymore.
0:55
Speaker 2: Man, back with you after the worst day that I
0:58
Speaker 2: could possibly have, act with you as I always am
1:02
Speaker 2: until I die at least oh and two yesterday and
1:06
Speaker 2: yesterday did not go well for me. Own five the
1:10
Speaker 2: worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen years
1:13
Speaker 2: doing this I don't know what to even tell you
1:15
Speaker 2: about this anymore.
1:16
Speaker 1: Slump, Yes, the slump discontinuous. The slump continues. Somebody fucking
1:21
Speaker 1: kill me, please.
1:23
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
1:25
Speaker 2: point other than potentially.
1:27
Speaker 1: End it all.
1:33
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you with Toadstool Sports, Tuesday.
1:38
Speaker 1: March twenty fourth, one to zero.
1:42
Speaker 2: On the show yesterday, two days in a row, we
1:43
Speaker 2: hit a large underdog outright winter. It was the Indiana
1:47
Speaker 2: Pacers last night. So glad that I could give you
1:51
Speaker 2: guys that the cover was pretty much never in doubt.
1:53
Speaker 2: It was a question of whether or not they're gonna
1:55
Speaker 2: actually pull off the win.
1:57
Speaker 1: They did, So we.
1:58
Speaker 2: Got that, and we move move on to today. We're
2:01
Speaker 2: gonna have a couple of n I T games. I
2:03
Speaker 2: got one play. It's in hockey. There's a huge hockey
2:07
Speaker 2: board today, and then there are a few NBA games
2:09
Speaker 2: as well. We'll see if my voice holds up. As
2:12
Speaker 2: I always say, my voice is like fucked right now.
2:15
Speaker 2: I cut my head shaving over here whatever. Actually last
2:20
Speaker 2: week when I did it, so that's just that's just great. Anyway,
2:26
Speaker 2: let's uh, let's get into it, n I t we have.
2:31
Speaker 2: The first game up is Wichita State and Tulsa. Very
2:34
Speaker 2: interesting because these teams have already played each other three
2:38
Speaker 2: times this year they are in the same conference. Wichita
2:42
Speaker 2: won the excuse me, Tulsa won the game at home
2:45
Speaker 2: first and kind of dominated the game or winning almost
2:48
Speaker 2: the whole game.
2:50
Speaker 1: Wichita won the game at.
2:51
Speaker 2: Wichita, although if you look into that box score, yeah,
2:54
Speaker 2: Wichita did win like this is the statistical battle. But
2:58
Speaker 2: Tulsa was winning eighty three three percent of that game,
3:00
Speaker 2: and you could argue that maybe they shouldn't have been.
3:02
Speaker 2: But both regular season matchress Tulsa was winning like the
3:05
Speaker 2: whole game. And I mentioned that because I gave out
3:08
Speaker 2: Tulsa during the conference tournament as a play because Tulsa
3:11
Speaker 2: was coming off having already played a game, although it
3:14
Speaker 2: was a triple overtime game. But I think Tulsa actually
3:18
Speaker 2: did just run out of steam there, even though I
3:20
Speaker 2: liked it, because Wichita hadn't played a game yet in
3:22
Speaker 2: the tournament at all.
3:24
Speaker 1: But Wichita got that win. So now this is kind
3:26
Speaker 1: of a double revenge ish like zig zag.
3:30
Speaker 2: I mean, both these teams are gonna show up because
3:31
Speaker 2: they're trying to win the NIT and these teams don't
3:33
Speaker 2: like each other. But with Wichita winning the last two
3:36
Speaker 2: games between these two teams.
3:39
Speaker 1: I kind of think Tulsa gets it done here. Man.
3:42
Speaker 1: Tulsa's only laying three and a half.
3:44
Speaker 2: Here, which is I think it's too low to be honest,
3:48
Speaker 2: Like I thought this line would be like five six.
3:51
Speaker 2: Tulsa was I believe, about two on a neutral when
3:55
Speaker 2: they played Wichita in the conference tournament, and then I
3:58
Speaker 2: think they were almost favorite bat that much on the
4:01
Speaker 2: road as well, which maybe too much. But you know,
4:05
Speaker 2: I think we're definitely getting a short changed on this
4:07
Speaker 2: line here. I think there's valley on Tulsa. Wichita is
4:11
Speaker 2: the better defense.
4:12
Speaker 1: That is what you have to worry about here.
4:13
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna recommend a play on this, but I
4:15
Speaker 2: do lean to Tulsa here for those reasons. Wichita is traveling,
4:20
Speaker 2: although they're staying in Oklahoma for this, so it's not bad.
4:23
Speaker 1: For them really at all.
4:24
Speaker 2: Tulsa is staying at home and they're fifteen and two
4:27
Speaker 2: at home. Wichita pretty good eight and four on the road, though,
4:31
Speaker 2: But Tulsa.
4:32
Speaker 1: They've been very good in this venue. They won both
4:34
Speaker 1: games in this.
4:36
Speaker 2: Conference tournament already, They're coming off a game that they
4:40
Speaker 2: won as they should have against UNLV. Wichita just upset
4:44
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State on the road, So that was kind of
4:46
Speaker 2: a bigger deal for Wichita getting to beat one of.
4:49
Speaker 1: The big boys there.
4:51
Speaker 2: So you know, there is the argument that it could
4:53
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a letdown or something like that,
4:55
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would lean to Tulsa here. The money
4:59
Speaker 2: is not really a great here. Tulsa down to three
5:01
Speaker 2: and a half money on Wichita for now sixty two
5:03
Speaker 2: percent of ticket, sixty nine percent of the cash on them.
5:06
Speaker 2: We'll see if the market starts kind of turning around.
5:11
Speaker 2: Tulsa did drop from it opened at four and a
5:13
Speaker 2: half for Tulsa dropped to three.
5:14
Speaker 1: And a half.
5:15
Speaker 2: Again, I thought it was gonna be about five, maybe
5:17
Speaker 2: even six.
5:18
Speaker 1: So I think ken Bom has this number in around
5:22
Speaker 1: five or so, maybe four. So all things to keep
5:26
Speaker 1: in mind there.
5:27
Speaker 2: And then Saint Joe's is still alive in this tournament
5:30
Speaker 2: at New Mexico. Saint Joe's somehow went into Colorado State
5:35
Speaker 2: and into cal and beat them both. I mean, I
5:37
Speaker 2: guess you got to give them credit for that close.
5:41
Speaker 1: Win in both games. Now they're going to New Mexico.
5:44
Speaker 2: New Mexico has had it pretty easy in the tournament
5:46
Speaker 2: so far, beating well Sam Houston and Georgia Washington. Not
5:50
Speaker 2: bad teams obviously, but easy wins over both them. New
5:54
Speaker 2: Mexico hasn't really been tested yet, so Saint Joe's has
5:58
Speaker 2: a little bit of an advantage in that way that
6:01
Speaker 2: they've been battle tested in this tournament where New Mexico hasn't.
6:05
Speaker 2: But I kind of like New Mexico here, man, I
6:09
Speaker 2: think Saint Joe's finally is gonna run.
6:12
Speaker 1: Into the end here.
6:13
Speaker 2: Three road games in a row, having to go back
6:15
Speaker 2: into elevation again, play in a very difficult venue to
6:19
Speaker 2: play in New Mexico, laying ten and a half fifty
6:22
Speaker 2: nine percent of tickets fifty four percent of the cash
6:24
Speaker 2: on Saint Joe's. So it looks like Saint Joe's a
6:28
Speaker 2: little bit of a public underdog there, which you don't
6:31
Speaker 2: see too often, and I usually like to fade teams
6:35
Speaker 2: with that kind of market setup. So don't really have
6:39
Speaker 2: a strong opinion on both those games on ESPN two.
6:43
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, man.
6:45
Speaker 2: Saint Joe's, I mean, they do play good defense, so
6:47
Speaker 2: there is that, but I'm you know, I haven't been
6:50
Speaker 2: sold on that team all year.
6:51
Speaker 1: So that's what I think about it.
6:54
Speaker 2: Kyle, what's up? Thanks for hanging out all right? NHL
7:00
Speaker 2: first game up Toronto at my Boston Bruins.
7:05
Speaker 1: Bruins are gonna be a pretty big favorite here.
7:07
Speaker 2: Toronto not very good, but I think the spot is
7:09
Speaker 2: probably not terrible for Toronto here. Toronto's lost three games
7:13
Speaker 2: in a row. They just got killed by Ottawa five
7:16
Speaker 2: to two. They got two days off. I think it's
7:19
Speaker 2: a decent spot for them to kind of pick themselves
7:22
Speaker 2: up and try to get a win here. The Bruins
7:24
Speaker 2: have been really hard to beat at home though, Bruins
7:27
Speaker 2: coming off a couple of wins in a row, satisfying wins.
7:30
Speaker 2: They beat Detroit in their last game on the road
7:33
Speaker 2: four to two. Nice win for the Bruins. Swayman has
7:36
Speaker 2: played three games in a row, so it might be Corpor, Salo,
7:40
Speaker 2: and Net this time for the Bruins because they do
7:41
Speaker 2: have to play Buffalo tomorrow. That's a pretty big game, man.
7:46
Speaker 2: So this game is sandwiched in between bigger games Detroit
7:49
Speaker 2: and Buffalo, with Buffalo being tomorrow. Likely Swayman is gonna
7:53
Speaker 2: be the goalie for that game. That's a big game
7:57
Speaker 2: on TNT, through TVHBO Max and nesson tomorrow as well.
8:00
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would lean to Toronto in this game.
8:03
Speaker 2: Man, Bruins are up to minus one, ninety ninety four
8:07
Speaker 2: percent of tickets, ninety nine percent of the cash on them,
8:09
Speaker 2: I'd start looking towards Toronto puckline maybe something like that.
8:14
Speaker 2: That would be my opinion in that game. Carolina at Montreal,
8:18
Speaker 2: pretty good game here. Both teams haveing good seasons. Carolina
8:22
Speaker 2: just got to win over at Pittsburgh again. They've won
8:25
Speaker 2: three games in a row now, killed Pittsburgh in that
8:28
Speaker 2: last game.
8:28
Speaker 1: Now, I don't really think.
8:29
Speaker 2: They're gonna overlook Montreal, but a five to one win
8:32
Speaker 2: maybe has he feeling a little bit high on yourselves.
8:35
Speaker 2: Montreal coming into this game of satisfying win as well,
8:41
Speaker 2: beating the Islander seven to three on Saturday and staying
8:44
Speaker 2: at home here. Both teams you could argue, were kind
8:48
Speaker 2: of in those spots where they're you know, plumping gay
8:51
Speaker 2: as we say on the show. Here, it looks like
8:54
Speaker 2: the money is indicating on Montreal. Carolina is a minus
8:57
Speaker 2: one thirty two favorite right now under the tickets eighty
9:01
Speaker 2: one percent of the cash. So Carolina looking like a
9:04
Speaker 2: public side, not that heavy of a favorite with less
9:06
Speaker 2: of the money on them. So the market read is
9:09
Speaker 2: saying Montreal in that game. I don't really have a
9:13
Speaker 2: reason to disagree with that. So those are the thoughts
9:17
Speaker 2: on that one. Ottawa at Detroit Ottawa played yesterday. I
9:22
Speaker 2: think they might be the only team on a back
9:24
Speaker 2: to back here because the Rangers I think have the
9:26
Speaker 2: day off. Of course, Ottawa won at Madison Square Garden yesterday,
9:31
Speaker 2: because what else is new?
9:32
Speaker 1: The Rangers can't win at home.
9:34
Speaker 2: The Rangers, by the way, set like a historic low
9:38
Speaker 2: with nine shots on goal in the entire game.
9:42
Speaker 1: How bad is that.
9:43
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable how bad the Rangers are at home. They
9:46
Speaker 2: won sixty two percent of the face offs too. It
9:49
Speaker 2: makes no sense how you can win that many of
9:52
Speaker 2: the face offs and only get nine shots on goal.
9:55
Speaker 2: I don't get it. It's almost like they're trying to
9:58
Speaker 2: not take shots. Ottawa got the win there, three wins
10:01
Speaker 2: in a row. They're not gonna overlook Detroit, but they
10:04
Speaker 2: aren't a back to back playing a third game in
10:06
Speaker 2: four days, and actually it's worse because they're actually playing
10:09
Speaker 2: a fifth game in seven days, I think is what
10:12
Speaker 2: this is two back to backs in that span.
10:15
Speaker 1: So that's pretty difficult. Man.
10:16
Speaker 2: That's a rare scenario having to play that many games
10:19
Speaker 2: in quick succession like that. Detroit comes into this off
10:23
Speaker 2: the loss to the Bruins. They've had multiple days off,
10:26
Speaker 2: they're staying at home, so Detroit does have a huge
10:29
Speaker 2: rest edge here that will be built into the line.
10:31
Speaker 2: But I think you gotta lean to Detroit in this game.
10:34
Speaker 2: The money is saying Ottawa, which makes no sense to me.
10:37
Speaker 2: Detroit is up to minus one twenties. Still not that
10:40
Speaker 2: bad of a price, to be honest, seventy five percent
10:43
Speaker 2: of tickets on Detroit, fifty four percent of the cash
10:45
Speaker 2: on Ottawa. I do not agree with that. That game
10:48
Speaker 2: would be Detroit or passed for me in that one.
10:51
Speaker 2: I don't see how Ottawa is taking all that money
10:54
Speaker 2: in that type of spot that they're in there.
10:56
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
10:57
Speaker 2: The next game up is my one play of the day,
11:00
Speaker 2: so let's do it. We're gonna take Seattle on the
11:08
Speaker 2: money line plus one point fifteen is around where it
11:12
Speaker 2: is against Florida. You'll get them as a little bit
11:14
Speaker 2: of an underdog here. Seattle's on a three game losing streak,
11:18
Speaker 2: so I'm looking for them to bounce back here. They've
11:21
Speaker 2: had some bad games here. One of them was lost
11:24
Speaker 2: to Tampa, and we know Tampa is good. Then they
11:26
Speaker 2: started a road trip lost to Nashville and Columbus. They've
11:29
Speaker 2: had two days off. They're going from Columbus to Florida.
11:33
Speaker 2: Not horrible, I don't think, And it's you know, I
11:35
Speaker 2: think having those days off I think maybe could help
11:37
Speaker 2: them refresh. A little bit of five to two loss
11:40
Speaker 2: is pretty ugly to Columbus.
11:42
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get up for this game against Florida.
11:44
Speaker 2: I guess one concern is they did just beat Florida
11:47
Speaker 2: at home six to two, so Florida might actually pay
11:51
Speaker 2: attention to them for that reason. But as I'm gonna
11:54
Speaker 2: show you in a minute, other than that, I think
11:56
Speaker 2: Florida is in.
11:56
Speaker 1: A bad spot. Man.
11:59
Speaker 2: Florida was the last time Seattle won, by the way
12:02
Speaker 2: in Seattle. But if you look at Florida here, the
12:05
Speaker 2: reason we're fading them, you're gonna you know what I'm
12:07
Speaker 2: about to say. They're returning them from a from a
12:09
Speaker 2: road trip. Here, they've been on the road for over
12:12
Speaker 2: a week. It started with that Seattle loss. They did
12:14
Speaker 2: get a win over Edmonton during the road trip. It
12:17
Speaker 2: was not a successful road trip. They went one to
12:20
Speaker 2: three on the road trip, but it took them all
12:21
Speaker 2: the way to the Pacific Northwest. So for a team
12:24
Speaker 2: like Florida, that's like the furthest you're gonna go geographically
12:27
Speaker 2: is all the way up to Vancouver. So they're returning
12:30
Speaker 2: home from all that. They've been away for more than
12:32
Speaker 2: a week. Yes, I know they're coming off a bad
12:34
Speaker 2: loss to Calgary, which was a win that I gave
12:36
Speaker 2: out here on the show. I know they've had three
12:39
Speaker 2: days off, so a lot of times, you know, like
12:43
Speaker 2: you'll think that, oh, they're gonna be rested now, they're
12:44
Speaker 2: gonna bounce back because.
12:46
Speaker 1: They're at home. But I see it completely differently.
12:48
Speaker 2: I think when you've been away for that long, you
12:50
Speaker 2: get to get back to home life, you got stuff
12:52
Speaker 2: to do, and it could distract you and take your
12:55
Speaker 2: mind off the game itself.
12:57
Speaker 1: So I think it's a bad spot. You got to
12:58
Speaker 1: overcome that travel time zone differences.
13:01
Speaker 2: Although, yeah, having a couple of days off of help
13:03
Speaker 2: with the time zone stuff, but I still.
13:05
Speaker 1: Don't like it.
13:06
Speaker 2: And they got Minnesota on on deck on an ESPN
13:09
Speaker 2: game on Thursday, so yeah, so I don't like it
13:12
Speaker 2: at all.
13:13
Speaker 1: It could be a look ahead there. I like Seattle.
13:16
Speaker 1: That is what we're gonna go with.
13:17
Speaker 2: The money seems to agree with Florida dropping for minus
13:20
Speaker 2: one forty five to minus one thirty here, seventy one
13:23
Speaker 2: percent of the tickets on them, fifty five percent of
13:25
Speaker 2: the cash on the crack, and so the money coming
13:28
Speaker 2: in in Seattle. That's what we're gonna go with. That's
13:31
Speaker 2: my only play of the day, all right. Uh, Chicago
13:35
Speaker 2: at the Islanders. Chicago just lost in a close game
13:40
Speaker 2: against Nashville, again one of their rivals they have.
13:43
Speaker 1: It was an overtime game.
13:47
Speaker 2: They're going out on the road though, so you know,
13:48
Speaker 2: maybe they will still focus, you know, get out of home,
13:52
Speaker 2: go on the road, focus on hockey. They're playing a
13:54
Speaker 2: decent Islanders team here, so probably they will still get
13:58
Speaker 2: up for this game. The Islanders just beat Columbus at
14:01
Speaker 2: home in a return home.
14:03
Speaker 1: Spot, beat them one to nothing. Staying at home.
14:05
Speaker 2: But they do have Dallas on deck on Thursday and
14:08
Speaker 2: then Florida, so it's possible they're looking ahead to those games.
14:12
Speaker 2: I'm gonna slightly lean to Chicago here, but I don't
14:15
Speaker 2: really have a strong opinion here. The Islanders did drop
14:17
Speaker 2: from minus two oh five to minus one to ninety
14:19
Speaker 2: on the money line, ninety two percent of the tickets
14:22
Speaker 2: ninety six percent of the cash on them is what
14:24
Speaker 2: this site pregame is showing here. I think what we
14:29
Speaker 2: know is the Islanders are probably gonna be a bit
14:31
Speaker 2: of a public side. There could be a situation where
14:35
Speaker 2: you go money line on Chicago, or you know, split
14:38
Speaker 2: the bet money line puck line, the same thing that
14:41
Speaker 2: I said with Toronto. Basically, all right, there is a
14:44
Speaker 2: Hulu doubleheader here. The first of the two games is
14:46
Speaker 2: Columbus at Philadelphia. Columbus coming off a win. Oh no,
14:53
Speaker 2: excuse me, coming off a loss. They beat Seattle, That's
14:55
Speaker 2: what I was thinking of. But then they lost to
14:56
Speaker 2: New York the Islanders, like I just mentioned, so they
14:59
Speaker 2: actually their first game of the road trip to the Islanders.
15:03
Speaker 2: That lost a four game win streak for them. So
15:05
Speaker 2: a lot of times when a team loses a win
15:07
Speaker 2: streak like that, they will be hungover coming into the
15:10
Speaker 2: next game. They did beat Philadelphia here in Philly back
15:14
Speaker 2: on March.
15:14
Speaker 1: Fourteenth, so there's a bit of a quick.
15:16
Speaker 2: Revenge angle, if you want to call it that, for
15:18
Speaker 2: Philadelphia here getting to host kind of an isolated TV
15:22
Speaker 2: game for Philadelphia.
15:25
Speaker 1: Columbus does have Montreal on deck.
15:27
Speaker 2: Possibly they would be looking ahead to that Philadelphia. Like
15:32
Speaker 2: I said, they might get up for a game against
15:34
Speaker 2: for a game on TV, I should say, And they
15:37
Speaker 2: might be trying to win this game because the last
15:40
Speaker 2: literally their last home game, they lost to Columbus, So
15:43
Speaker 2: they might get up for this for that reason. But
15:45
Speaker 2: they're returning home from the Pacific Coast, and you know,
15:47
Speaker 2: I don't like that they were away for almost a week.
15:50
Speaker 2: They won every game on the Pacific Coast trip. And
15:53
Speaker 2: like I said, when teams fly back across the country,
15:56
Speaker 2: you have to come back home.
15:57
Speaker 1: You got stuff to do. Having extra time off kind
16:00
Speaker 1: of also helps you.
16:01
Speaker 2: Settle in at home, and I think actually adds to
16:04
Speaker 2: the distraction in a lot of cases. So I don't
16:06
Speaker 2: want Philly here. Man, if they weren't returning home, I
16:09
Speaker 2: would lean to Philly here.
16:11
Speaker 1: The money is saying Philadelphia.
16:13
Speaker 2: Here, So do with that information, what you want eighty
16:16
Speaker 2: four percent of the tickets, sixty four percent of the cash.
16:18
Speaker 2: On Columbus, they're minus one thirty two up for minus
16:21
Speaker 2: one twenty five. So the market read is saying flyers
16:25
Speaker 2: in this one. I mean, I guess I still kind.
16:31
Speaker 1: Of agree with that, but I don't like it. Man,
16:34
Speaker 1: at least for them. It's not like the longest possible
16:37
Speaker 1: road trip return. But it's not good. Charles, what's up?
16:41
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out all right.
16:44
Speaker 2: Next game up is Colorado and Pittsburgh. This is a
16:48
Speaker 2: pretty interesting game. Colorado just lost horribly at home to
16:53
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh not that long ago, seven to two. So I
16:56
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be seriously focused here because they know
17:00
Speaker 2: what this Pittsburgh team just did to them. Colorado coming
17:03
Speaker 2: up an overtime win against Washington whatever, I think they
17:07
Speaker 2: have momentum coming into this. I think they're gonna be
17:10
Speaker 2: focused for Pittsburgh. They are coming off getting blown out
17:13
Speaker 2: by Caroline Carolina.
17:17
Speaker 1: I think was focused because Pittsburgh almost beat them the
17:20
Speaker 1: previous sign they played them.
17:22
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh will try to get up for this game, but
17:24
Speaker 2: they're running into a team that's better than they are
17:26
Speaker 2: and if you get a focus Colorado team here, I
17:28
Speaker 2: think Colorado is going to win this game. Colorado is
17:32
Speaker 2: up to minus one sixty for minus one forty five,
17:36
Speaker 2: pretty big, Like that's the oddsmaker's telling you.
17:39
Speaker 1: There's a big gap between these two teams. Man, more
17:42
Speaker 1: than you might think.
17:44
Speaker 2: Eighty one percent of tickets, ninety seven percent of the
17:46
Speaker 2: cash on Colorado. It looks like the actual money is
17:48
Speaker 2: on the Avs side in that game. I also agree
17:52
Speaker 2: with it. I would lean towards Colorado there. It's getting
17:55
Speaker 2: a bit pricey for a money line, especially for a
17:58
Speaker 2: road favorite, though, so you know, you could maybe potentially look.
18:02
Speaker 1: Towards other markets.
18:03
Speaker 2: It's a very high total in this game, so you know,
18:07
Speaker 2: Colorado over their team total possibly makes sense where I
18:11
Speaker 2: don't trust Pittsburgh's goaltending, so there is.
18:14
Speaker 1: That aspect of it. Don't know if I have much
18:18
Speaker 1: else to say about that.
18:19
Speaker 2: They've been alternating Skinner and Sillovs, so it'll probably be
18:22
Speaker 2: still Ovs in net for Pittsburgh, which is probably even
18:26
Speaker 2: worse than Skinners.
18:27
Speaker 1: So do with that information what you want.
18:30
Speaker 2: Tn t HBO max A True TV has one game
18:33
Speaker 2: tonight at seven thirty pm. Eastern with Minnesota at Tampa Bay.
18:37
Speaker 2: This is a pretty good game. Minnesota coming off an
18:41
Speaker 2: overtime win over Dallas, big win for them.
18:44
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to.
18:45
Speaker 2: Put in a huge at for two games in a
18:46
Speaker 2: row now. Now, I don't think they're gonna overlook Tampa Bay.
18:49
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is really good. But they did beat Tampa
18:52
Speaker 2: Bay back on March third, five to one in Minnesota,
18:55
Speaker 2: so Tampa Bay might be more ready for this game.
18:58
Speaker 2: With Minnesota coming off a big game. Tampa Bay, though,
19:01
Speaker 2: they're returning home from a road trip, and that's the
19:03
Speaker 2: problem I have with Tampa here.
19:05
Speaker 1: They been on the road for a week.
19:06
Speaker 2: They went up to the Pacific Northwest, and like I
19:09
Speaker 2: just said, with Florida, that's not good. Tampa did lose
19:12
Speaker 2: to Calgary, so I didn't give out a play on
19:14
Speaker 2: that one, but I was correct on that game as
19:17
Speaker 2: well with Calgary. There, Tampa had beaten Edmonds in the
19:19
Speaker 2: game before that, already succeeded on the road trip. Now,
19:24
Speaker 2: returning back home TV game, I don't think they're gonna
19:27
Speaker 2: overlook a team that beat them so badly the last
19:30
Speaker 2: time they played them. A pretty good team in Minnesota,
19:32
Speaker 2: but again it's really tough to return home from a
19:35
Speaker 2: road trip like this. They only have one day off
19:39
Speaker 2: traveling basically the longest travel spot that could have.
19:42
Speaker 1: That's not easy, man.
19:44
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a really difficult spot for Tampa Bay.
19:49
Speaker 2: The money is coming in on Tampa. Looks like they're
19:51
Speaker 2: minus one seventy eight sixty percent of tickets ninety five
19:53
Speaker 2: percent of the cash on them. I kind of don't
19:57
Speaker 2: agree with that. I think I would actually slightly lead
19:59
Speaker 2: trips Minnesota there. Maybe you know an underdog puck line
20:03
Speaker 2: situation in that one too, splitting it puck line, money line, whatever,
20:08
Speaker 2: you know. I think the return home spot I think
20:10
Speaker 2: is worse than the situation that Minnesota's in in that one.
20:14
Speaker 2: All Right, Washington at Saint Louis, Washington just lost to
20:19
Speaker 2: Colorado in overtime. I think I said, yeah, so they're
20:22
Speaker 2: coming off a really tough game against Colorado. So you
20:25
Speaker 2: have a big game against a really good team like that.
20:27
Speaker 2: A lot of times it'll hang you over when you
20:29
Speaker 2: come that.
20:29
Speaker 1: Close to getting that win.
20:31
Speaker 2: They're going out on the road, and a lot of
20:32
Speaker 2: times I will say a team's gonna be focused to
20:35
Speaker 2: start the road trip, but coming off a game against
20:37
Speaker 2: Colorado that ended that way, losing an overtime. I don't
20:40
Speaker 2: like it, man, So I think it could be a
20:42
Speaker 2: hangover for Washington. Saint Louis is returning over from a
20:46
Speaker 2: road trip. Though, Man, I can't believe there's so many
20:48
Speaker 2: teams returning over from road trips.
20:50
Speaker 1: And I'm only fading one of them.
20:53
Speaker 2: Saint Louis has been on the road for less than
20:54
Speaker 2: a week, but they did go up to Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver,
20:58
Speaker 2: so returning home from that, I don't think it's exactly
21:01
Speaker 2: the greatest spot Washington coming up that tough game, though,
21:05
Speaker 2: could be worse. To be honest, I probably do actually
21:10
Speaker 2: lean to Saint Louis and this one slightly Washington Denver
21:13
Speaker 2: minus one fifteen to minus one to eight. But I'm
21:17
Speaker 2: pretty much gonna leave the game alone if I, you know,
21:19
Speaker 2: if I have a slight lean towards the team returning
21:21
Speaker 2: home from a road trip, which is rare in itself,
21:25
Speaker 2: and I think I've leaned towards two of them, and
21:27
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, maybe that's the only one so far, but.
21:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna stay away if that's the case.
21:36
Speaker 2: Uh San Jose at Nashville San Jose three losses in
21:41
Speaker 2: a row, not having a good stretch right now. Man,
21:44
Speaker 2: four losses in a row, my mistake, pretty much all of.
21:47
Speaker 1: Them blowouts to him.
21:49
Speaker 2: Uh so maybe it'd be good for them just leave home,
21:51
Speaker 2: go out on the road, a couple of days off,
21:53
Speaker 2: focus on hockey.
21:54
Speaker 1: I think it is a focused.
21:55
Speaker 2: Spot for San Jose, try to reset some things by
21:58
Speaker 2: having a couple of days off and starting a road trip.
22:01
Speaker 1: For Nashville, they just beat their rival. Like I have
22:05
Speaker 1: talked about with Chicago, they only have New Jersey on deck.
22:10
Speaker 2: I don't think excusey, I don't think that's really a
22:13
Speaker 2: big deal. But I think I would have to lean
22:15
Speaker 2: towards San Jose in this game.
22:19
Speaker 1: Let me see, where's the game. Nashville looks like they're
22:21
Speaker 1: kind of the public side.
22:22
Speaker 2: Seventy one percent of tickets but eighty six percent of
22:24
Speaker 2: the cash on them. Unthough they dropped for minus one
22:27
Speaker 2: forty five to minus one forty on the money line. Yeah,
22:31
Speaker 2: I would still lean to San Jose though. That's just
22:33
Speaker 2: what I think about that game. But it's not a
22:35
Speaker 2: strong opinion really, So the money for now is saying
22:39
Speaker 2: Nashville though, But I don't really agree with that New
22:42
Speaker 2: Jersey at Dallas. New Jersey coming off of a loss
22:45
Speaker 2: to Washington and they've had three days off since then
22:51
Speaker 2: having to travel to Dallas.
22:53
Speaker 1: But you got to think they're gonna get up for
22:54
Speaker 1: a game against Dallas. Man.
22:57
Speaker 2: You know, New Jersey probably not gonna make the playoffs
23:00
Speaker 2: year or anything like that, but this is one of
23:02
Speaker 2: those types of games that you will get up for.
23:05
Speaker 2: Dallas has played three big games in a row against Colorado, Minnesota, Vegas,
23:10
Speaker 2: every one of those.
23:11
Speaker 1: Games coming within one goal.
23:14
Speaker 2: So I don't love the spot for them here, even
23:16
Speaker 2: though they're gonna try to I guess split the home
23:18
Speaker 2: stand one to one. But they have New York the Islanders,
23:21
Speaker 2: excuse me, on deck, which might be a bigger game
23:24
Speaker 2: because the Islanders are having a pretty good season. So
23:27
Speaker 2: I actually like the Devils in this one. Dallas is
23:31
Speaker 2: public ninety five percent of the tickets.
23:33
Speaker 1: Of course they are.
23:33
Speaker 2: They have one of the best records in hockey and
23:36
Speaker 2: they are that good. Sixty six percent of the cash
23:39
Speaker 2: is a big cash dis verity here going against Dallas.
23:42
Speaker 2: They dropped from minus one seventy to minus one sixty three.
23:45
Speaker 2: The market read is pretty strongly indicating on New Jersey,
23:48
Speaker 2: and I agree with it.
23:49
Speaker 1: In that one.
23:51
Speaker 2: That would be yeah, split bet puck line money line probably,
23:54
Speaker 2: or if you want to be you know, you could
23:57
Speaker 2: just go money line straight. You know, just go all
24:00
Speaker 2: honey line if you really want to there. Vegas at Winnipeg,
24:04
Speaker 2: although I don't know if I would trust that. I'd
24:06
Speaker 2: rather have the puck line portion of it in my
24:08
Speaker 2: back pocket. Probably Vegas at Winnipeg. Vegas just beat Dallas,
24:15
Speaker 2: so right away, I think that could put them in
24:17
Speaker 2: a letdown spot. That was a big win at Dallas,
24:20
Speaker 2: and to make matters worse, they're in a sandwich spot
24:22
Speaker 2: because they have Edmonton on deck on ESPN.
24:25
Speaker 1: So I think they.
24:26
Speaker 2: Could definitely overlook Winnipeg in a spot like this, even
24:29
Speaker 2: though they did just end a losing streak and sometimes
24:31
Speaker 2: that will give you momentum. I got that Vegas Dallas
24:35
Speaker 2: game correct, by the way, with my lean, but yeah,
24:38
Speaker 2: this one, I'd be looking towards Winnipeg.
24:40
Speaker 1: The problem is, you know what the problem is. Winnipeg
24:43
Speaker 1: is returning home from a road.
24:45
Speaker 2: Trip not even a week long though it was only Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
24:49
Speaker 2: But they're playing a fourth game in six days, all
24:53
Speaker 2: in different.
24:53
Speaker 1: Cities, which is not easy to do.
24:55
Speaker 2: They had to go all the way to the East
24:56
Speaker 2: coast during the road trip. They have Colorado on deck
25:01
Speaker 2: twice in a row in fact, so I can't get
25:05
Speaker 2: there with it, man. I think I actually do still
25:07
Speaker 2: lean to Winnipeg in this game, but I don't think
25:09
Speaker 2: I can get there with it, So this has to
25:11
Speaker 2: be a stay away for me as well. Vegas down
25:15
Speaker 2: for minus one thirty to minus one twenty four, so
25:17
Speaker 2: the market read is on Winnipeg in this one. Eighty
25:20
Speaker 2: percent of the tickets on Vegas fifty one percent of
25:23
Speaker 2: the cash on them, so I really big ticket versus
25:25
Speaker 2: cash disparity in that game too, indicating towards the Winnipeg side,
25:30
Speaker 2: which is interesting, although I do slightly agree with that one.
25:35
Speaker 2: You know, the money's coming in towards the under there.
25:39
Speaker 2: But that's the type of game where I kind of
25:40
Speaker 2: lean towards an over because I think both teams are
25:43
Speaker 2: in bad spots.
25:44
Speaker 1: But for Winnipeg you will get hellabuck back in Net.
25:46
Speaker 1: I think he's he.
25:47
Speaker 2: Didn't play in the last game. I think they rested
25:50
Speaker 2: him in the last game, so you will get their
25:52
Speaker 2: best goalie and probably the best goalie on the planet
25:55
Speaker 2: back in net there for Winnipeg, so that should be
25:58
Speaker 2: an advantage that Winnipeg does have games the goaltending. The
26:02
Speaker 2: Kings are going to be at Calgary. You know, I
26:05
Speaker 2: keep talking about how the Kings are pretty good on
26:07
Speaker 2: the road. They're coming off three straight losses. They did
26:11
Speaker 2: just lose a tough game in elevation though, against Utah,
26:14
Speaker 2: so that might.
26:14
Speaker 1: Not be totally easy to overcome there.
26:17
Speaker 2: But they might show up because they are in a
26:19
Speaker 2: three game losing streak, and I do not like the
26:21
Speaker 2: spot for Calgary. Calgary is staying at home, but they
26:24
Speaker 2: just beat Florida and Tampa Bay in overtime against Sampa
26:28
Speaker 2: Bay at home, so Calgary could be in a letdown
26:32
Speaker 2: spot of those big games. And they're playing Anaheim next,
26:35
Speaker 2: and Anaheim is believing or not winning the division right now,
26:38
Speaker 2: these teams are all in the same division. I'm pretty
26:40
Speaker 2: sure LA Anaheim in Calgary, believe it or not, but
26:45
Speaker 2: LA is still ahead of Calgary and the divisional standings,
26:48
Speaker 2: of course, but Anaheim is in first place and Calgary
26:51
Speaker 2: is not going anywhere this year, So you could make
26:53
Speaker 2: the argument they could look.
26:54
Speaker 1: Ahead to Anaheim and it could be a sandwich spot.
26:58
Speaker 2: Kings eighteen nine and nine on the road Calgary, though,
27:03
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they're actually pretty good at home
27:05
Speaker 2: nineteen twelve and four at home, giving up pretty ugly.
27:08
Speaker 2: Their overall record is Calgary is definitely a better.
27:11
Speaker 1: Team at home.
27:12
Speaker 2: So I do slightly lean towards the Kings in that game,
27:15
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna stay away from it. LA up to
27:17
Speaker 2: minus one eighty nine percent of the tickets one hundred
27:20
Speaker 2: percent of the cash is obviously not accurate, but they're
27:24
Speaker 2: probably gonna be a public side. But I think LA
27:26
Speaker 2: would be the way I would lean in that one though.
27:29
Speaker 2: The second game of the Hulu doubleheader is Edmonton at Utah.
27:33
Speaker 2: Edmonton coming off a couple really disgusting losses at home
27:37
Speaker 2: to the Florida teams. Florida and Tampa Bay both beat
27:41
Speaker 2: them handily by a combined score of nine to two.
27:44
Speaker 1: That's pretty ugly. It might be good for Edmond to just.
27:47
Speaker 2: Have a couple of days off forget about that go
27:49
Speaker 2: on the road, so I think it is a positive
27:52
Speaker 2: spot for them. I think it's a focused spot for Edmonton.
27:55
Speaker 2: Utah coming up an overtime win against La at home.
27:58
Speaker 2: Like I said, they're just staying at home. I don't
28:00
Speaker 2: think they're gonna overlook Edmonton either, so I don't think
28:02
Speaker 2: it's a horrible spot for Utah, but I'm gonna lead
28:06
Speaker 2: towards Edmonton in this one. I think coming up those
28:09
Speaker 2: losses at home, getting to start the road trips more
28:11
Speaker 2: of an advantage. Utah down for minus one thirty five
28:14
Speaker 2: to minus one thirty four. Interestingly, the odds makers are
28:18
Speaker 2: basically telling you Utah is actually the slightly better team
28:21
Speaker 2: here because I think home ice is about twenty cents
28:24
Speaker 2: on the line, like minus one twenties, so fifty percent
28:27
Speaker 2: of tickets, eighty three percent of the cash on Edmonton.
28:30
Speaker 1: Some money somewhat coming in on Edmonton, although.
28:36
Speaker 2: I guess the favorite does have to be juiced a
28:38
Speaker 2: little bit more by the odds makers. But yeah, the
28:40
Speaker 2: money is saying Edmonton. I don't disagree with it. And
28:44
Speaker 2: then the last game is Anaheim at Vancouver. Not really
28:48
Speaker 2: an interesting one here. The Anaheim is better at home
28:51
Speaker 2: than they are on the road, so you might want
28:53
Speaker 2: to look towards to fading Anaheim. To be honest, they're
28:56
Speaker 2: coming up a big win over Buffalo. Buffalo's pretty good,
29:00
Speaker 2: so that was a good win for Anaheim. It was
29:02
Speaker 2: an overtime game on Sunday. Now they're going to Vancouver.
29:07
Speaker 2: They are starting a road trip. Usually your focus to
29:09
Speaker 2: start a road trip. But Vancouver is the worst team
29:12
Speaker 2: in the league, man, So I don't know how motivated
29:15
Speaker 2: you really get to play Vancouver. Vancouver's staying at home
29:18
Speaker 2: off a couple of losses, a couple of days off.
29:21
Speaker 2: They've had more time off as well, and they're staying
29:23
Speaker 2: at home. So I would actually have to lean to
29:25
Speaker 2: Vancouver in this one. Anaheim's very public. Ninety one percent
29:29
Speaker 2: of the tickets, only eighty eight percent of the cash,
29:32
Speaker 2: so less of the money on them. They're minus one
29:34
Speaker 2: seventy eight as a favorite. They're not much movement on
29:38
Speaker 2: the line there, So yeah, I would lean to Vancouver there.
29:42
Speaker 2: Puck line probably partially puck line, partially money line.
29:51
Speaker 1: Wait what, I don't get the mag.
29:54
Speaker 2: Of support thing. I don't understand it. Yeah, yeah, the
30:00
Speaker 2: juice is loose. OJ Simpson is alive and driving there
30:05
Speaker 2: all right. NBA Before we get out of here, there
30:07
Speaker 2: are four NBA games. There's a late doubleheader as well,
30:13
Speaker 2: which are the two better games?
30:15
Speaker 1: So at least there is that.
30:16
Speaker 2: The worst game is the first game Sacramento at Charlotte.
30:21
Speaker 2: God Sacramento having to travel to the Eastern time zone
30:25
Speaker 2: for this.
30:27
Speaker 1: Which isn't as bad as the opposite.
30:28
Speaker 2: Like I said, East Coast teams going out west for
30:30
Speaker 2: a really late night game is the worst for your
30:33
Speaker 2: biological clock. Like for Sacramento playing at seven pm Eastern,
30:37
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be a big problem.
30:39
Speaker 1: They did just meet Brooklyn.
30:41
Speaker 2: They lost at home to Charlotte back on March eleventh,
30:43
Speaker 2: so there is a little bit of a quick road
30:46
Speaker 2: revenge angle here. Maybe or maybe Sacramento has a little
30:50
Speaker 2: bit of momentum. Maybe they will they will show up
30:52
Speaker 2: focus for this to start the road trip. Charlotte is
30:56
Speaker 2: on another win streak here, three or four games, I
30:59
Speaker 2: think three, They've won three games in a row. They
31:02
Speaker 2: do have a big game on deck against the Knicks, though,
31:05
Speaker 2: so possible they overlook a team they just being on
31:07
Speaker 2: the road not that long ago. I would lean to
31:10
Speaker 2: Sacramento here. The Hornets are a huge favorite's seventeen seventy
31:15
Speaker 2: eight percent of tickets, ninety five percent of the cash
31:17
Speaker 2: on the Hornets I don't agree with that cash just
31:20
Speaker 2: verity there. I would take the points with Sacramento in
31:22
Speaker 2: that one or leave the game alone. I still think
31:25
Speaker 2: maybe Charlotte's getting a little too much respect in the
31:27
Speaker 2: market here, although we have seen the blow bad teams
31:30
Speaker 2: out too, so obviously that is a possibility still here.
31:36
Speaker 2: But they could also win without covering you know, so yeah,
31:42
Speaker 2: oh yeah, correct, yeah, one hundred percent of met Yeah,
31:46
Speaker 2: but they interviewed one guy who's met or basically, what
31:49
Speaker 2: they're saying is that everybody who still refers to themselves
31:52
Speaker 2: as maga just happen to be the people that still
31:56
Speaker 2: support Trump. Everybody that voted for Trump, that jumped off
32:00
Speaker 2: the Trump train is not considered maga anymore.
32:04
Speaker 1: It's so stupid, dude.
32:05
Speaker 2: It's like we're living in North Korea now. I think
32:09
Speaker 2: it was just that they support Trump. I thought, I
32:12
Speaker 2: don't know, Yeah, it's all bullshit, all right. New Orleans
32:16
Speaker 2: at New York New Orleans, they're not as bad as
32:20
Speaker 2: people think they are. They have the inverse record to
32:23
Speaker 2: the Knicks, which is funny. New Orleans has the same
32:26
Speaker 2: amount of losses that the Knicks have wins and vice versa.
32:32
Speaker 2: New Orleans coming into this off a tough game against
32:35
Speaker 2: Cleveland on Saturday. Man, they played Cleveland within five, so
32:38
Speaker 2: there is the potential that they're a little bit.
32:40
Speaker 1: Hung over after that.
32:41
Speaker 2: They're not gonna overlook the Knicks, but you know, they
32:43
Speaker 2: might run out of steam a little bit coming into
32:45
Speaker 2: this game. It's the start of a road trip against
32:48
Speaker 2: a good team though, so maybe they will still show
32:50
Speaker 2: focus in this game with a couple of days off
32:53
Speaker 2: as well. The Knicks just blasted Washington. There is the
32:58
Speaker 2: potential they're looking ahead because they do have Sho Marlott
33:00
Speaker 2: OKC Houston on deck. Those are difficult games, man, So
33:06
Speaker 2: and that's a road trip for the Knicks. There so
33:09
Speaker 2: possible they overlook New Orleans here. It's a tough call
33:13
Speaker 2: in this game. I don't know what to do with it,
33:16
Speaker 2: to be honest. The money is coming in on the Knicks.
33:18
Speaker 2: They dropped to eight and a half from nine and
33:20
Speaker 2: a half. I don't know if there's like an injury
33:22
Speaker 2: that we should be aware of here. Sixty five percent
33:25
Speaker 2: of the tickets, ninety eight percent of the cash on
33:27
Speaker 2: the Knicks. I'll probably agree with it and slightly lean
33:30
Speaker 2: into the Knicks, but I I don't have a good
33:34
Speaker 2: opinion on.
33:35
Speaker 1: It at all. Let me see injuries. Yeah, I mean
33:41
Speaker 1: we don't really see a whole lot.
33:42
Speaker 2: McBride has already been out for the Knicks, so there
33:44
Speaker 2: isn't really any change there. So I guess that line
33:47
Speaker 2: dropped just due to legitimate market movement.
33:51
Speaker 1: Orlando at Cleveland.
33:53
Speaker 2: This is the first game in the NBC Peacock doubleheader.
33:56
Speaker 2: We faded Orlando last night man with success the Indiana
34:00
Speaker 2: last night. Part of that handicap was that they were
34:03
Speaker 2: gonna be looking ahead to this game against Cleveland, which
34:06
Speaker 2: should mean that they will show up for this, but
34:08
Speaker 2: they got to travel from Orlando to Cleveland with no
34:11
Speaker 2: time off. But they should be in bounced back mode
34:14
Speaker 2: as well, because yesterday's game was really ugly for them.
34:16
Speaker 2: So they're positives and negatives here for Orlando. For Cleveland,
34:22
Speaker 2: they're coming up barely getting by the Pelicans, like I said,
34:25
Speaker 2: so I think they are going to be focused here,
34:27
Speaker 2: but they're turning over from a road trip.
34:30
Speaker 1: They've been on the road for a week.
34:31
Speaker 2: But at least what's good for Cleveland is they stayed
34:34
Speaker 2: right in the area. They only went to Milwaukee, Chicago,
34:37
Speaker 2: and New Orleans, so that's not really that bad. So
34:41
Speaker 2: I have a tough time reading this game.
34:43
Speaker 1: Man.
34:44
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna be that typical return
34:45
Speaker 2: home spot where the team gets like really.
34:49
Speaker 1: Distracted or whatever.
34:51
Speaker 2: Cleveland's minus ten and a half, sixty seven percent of tickets,
34:54
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the cash on them, so the
34:56
Speaker 2: money is indicating on Cleveland.
34:58
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure I agree with that.
35:00
Speaker 2: And the other thing that we have to look at
35:01
Speaker 2: is the status of Wagner because he was supposed to
35:06
Speaker 2: be back like around this time. It looks like they
35:07
Speaker 2: pushed that timetable back. It looks like he.
35:12
Speaker 1: Is not back yet.
35:13
Speaker 2: And Orlando lost Suggs due to an illness, so he's
35:17
Speaker 2: not playing tonight either. He didn't play in the previous
35:19
Speaker 2: game either, which I didn't even realize. He didn't play
35:21
Speaker 2: last night either, so that was their first game without Sugs.
35:24
Speaker 2: This is gonna be their second game in a row
35:27
Speaker 2: without him. So Orlando very shorthanded here, which is part
35:31
Speaker 2: of the reason why the Cavs are up there to
35:33
Speaker 2: minus ten and a half. I almost kind of want
35:37
Speaker 2: to lean towards taking the points of the magic and
35:39
Speaker 2: that one man, even though they're very shorthanded. A lot
35:42
Speaker 2: of times the team will step up their game that way,
35:45
Speaker 2: and I think the value wise, I think there probably
35:47
Speaker 2: is some line value on Orlando, like the lines being
35:51
Speaker 2: skewed towards Cleveland because of the guys that aren't playing
35:54
Speaker 2: for Orlando because Orlando's on a.
35:56
Speaker 1: Back to back, you know.
35:57
Speaker 2: But there was such a bad game for the Magic yesterday,
36:00
Speaker 2: But then again, Cleveland's coming off kind of a bad
36:02
Speaker 2: game themselves, so that's a very difficult read. And then
36:06
Speaker 2: the last game, the second of the NBC Peacock doubleheader,
36:09
Speaker 2: is Denver and Phoenix. Phoenix another situation where they're a
36:14
Speaker 2: home underdog.
36:15
Speaker 1: Man, they seem to.
36:16
Speaker 2: Be home underdogs a lot, and they do well as
36:19
Speaker 2: home underdogs. Denver coming into this game off of beating Portland,
36:26
Speaker 2: single game road trip for them, seems like a spot
36:29
Speaker 2: where they should be focused. I mean, they're not really
36:31
Speaker 2: coming off of anything big. They don't have anything.
36:33
Speaker 1: Big on deck with Dallas coming up next.
36:36
Speaker 2: Phoenix just ended a losing streak with a win, and
36:40
Speaker 2: a lot of times that will propel you forward with momentum.
36:44
Speaker 2: It was a blowout revenge win against Toronto, so they
36:46
Speaker 2: might be feeling pretty good about that, but still they're
36:50
Speaker 2: not gonna overlook Denver. I wouldn't imagine we faded Phoenix
36:54
Speaker 2: the game before that where they lost to Milwaukee, because
36:56
Speaker 2: Phoenix was a turning home from a long road trip
36:59
Speaker 2: where they eaten Milwaukee on the road. So I was
37:04
Speaker 2: I've had a good gauge on Phoenix last two games.
37:07
Speaker 2: We faded them here on the show with the Milwaukee play,
37:10
Speaker 2: and then I leaned pretty strongly towards Phoenix in the
37:13
Speaker 2: game after that, and they did bounce back and get
37:16
Speaker 2: an easy win there. This one, man, this is tough.
37:20
Speaker 2: I think I do lean to Phoenix plus the points here.
37:23
Speaker 2: Denver's minus five and a half eighty six percent of tickets,
37:26
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of the cash on the Nuggets, so
37:28
Speaker 2: they're a public side with less of the money on them.
37:31
Speaker 2: I think I would lean towards taking the points of
37:33
Speaker 2: the Suns, but don't really have a strong opinion on it.
37:36
Speaker 2: The Suns are really good at home twenty three and fourteen.
37:41
Speaker 2: Denver's been good on the road though twenty three and fifteen,
37:43
Speaker 2: but the Suns are also a covering machine. The Sun's
37:47
Speaker 2: still without doing Brooks. He's coming back soon. Grayson Allen
37:51
Speaker 2: has been in and out of the lineup as well,
37:54
Speaker 2: so you know, the Souns do have some injury concerns there,
37:56
Speaker 2: but it hasn't really affected them that much. The Sun's
37:59
Speaker 2: been I think they're still the best covering team in
38:02
Speaker 2: the NBA this year, so although that means the oddsmakers
38:05
Speaker 2: do have to adjust the lines on them, uh, but
38:08
Speaker 2: it seems like whenever they're home underdog, it seems like
38:10
Speaker 2: they pretty.
38:11
Speaker 1: Much cover it. Though. That's gonna do it.
38:14
Speaker 2: Uh. The one play I gave out is the Seattle
38:16
Speaker 2: Kraken on the money line in hockey Huge Hockey Board
38:20
Speaker 2: with fifteen games, we isolated that one as the play
38:23
Speaker 2: today in bad spot for Florida. Let's uh, let's do it, man,
38:27
Speaker 2: Let's let's have another winning day. We gotta get we
38:31
Speaker 2: gotta get it right to win though we're playing a
38:33
Speaker 2: money line underdog this time. So it's the type of
38:36
Speaker 2: game where you don't need to win every single time
38:38
Speaker 2: to profit, you.
38:39
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.
38:39
Speaker 2: You only need to hit like probably even a little
38:42
Speaker 2: bit less than fifty percent of plays like that to
38:44
Speaker 2: a profit on those small dogs.
38:47
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it. Learn it tone on Twitter.
38:50
Speaker 2: You can subscribe to me there, learn a tone on Instagram.
38:54
Speaker 2: I always forget, like what my plugs even are. We're
38:56
Speaker 2: on audio Listen and you know, listen and give me
38:59
Speaker 2: a good review is whatever? On audio, Apple, Spotify, everything.
39:03
Speaker 2: We're on all the all the podcast platforms. I'm pretty
39:05
Speaker 2: sure covered in yuke My yuke channel on YouTube, Patreon,
39:10
Speaker 2: dot com, slash and learn to toad.
39:11
Speaker 1: You can throw me some support.
39:13
Speaker 2: There and loser casts will be back tonight. Hopefully my
39:18
Speaker 2: loser pick will spark some some fun discussion.
39:22
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it.
39:23
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, guys, Thanks for hanging out.
39:27
Speaker 1: Charles Kyle.
39:28
Speaker 2: I think it's been just YouTube this morning. But yeah,
39:30
Speaker 2: let's get it. Let's get the win. We'll be back
39:34
Speaker 2: with tomorrow. Major League Baseball Opening Day is tomorrow. Some
39:39
Speaker 2: fire up the fire up Netflix if you want to
39:42
Speaker 2: watch it. I hate I hate that ship man, I
39:44
Speaker 2: hate it. That's where it's gonna be. And then I think,
39:47
Speaker 2: hopefully it's just one game, but I might actually give
39:50
Speaker 2: out a play in it, Like I've thought it over
39:52
Speaker 2: in my mind, and there is a good angle to
39:54
Speaker 2: potentially use in that one.
39:58
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think that's all I had. Yeah, pretty much.
40:03
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And of course the tournament, the Sweet sixteen
40:07
Speaker 2: round starts in the NCAA tournament on Thursday, I believe,
40:11
Speaker 2: so Thursday night that action resumes, so we'll be talking
40:15
Speaker 2: about that too. Don't know if I love really anything
40:18
Speaker 2: in this upcoming round though, so I might be skipping it,
40:21
Speaker 2: but we'll see.
40:22
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it though. Peace,
