Set 1: College Football Week 1 and NFL Futures (w/Bear) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Bear.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: God bless football, gentlemen. Look, I don't think God was
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: blessing football last night on the banks of the Raritan
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: with the University of Massachusetts Minutemen. Close to a 30-point
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: dog winning by 17 points. That was quite an eye-opener
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It sure was. And the fact that UMass was paid
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: over a million dollars to get that victory over Rutgers.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The fact that Rutgers still went on with the fireworks
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: show after the game because they were so pleased with
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: their performances. Laugh out loud. Funny. But Bear, I have
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: grown up. I grew up in the Northeast. Rutgers have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: been bad my entire life. Why would they be favored
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: by 30 points over anybody? I mean.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Because UMass hadn't beaten a team in the Power 4,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Power 5 league since they went up to the FBS level.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: They scored 14 points, I believe, four times last year
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in any game. The bigger question from all this to, look,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I hate talking about all the off-the-field shit, but all
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the conference expansion talk, why? I think we're going to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: reach a point where we're going to have conference-like contraction.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I know the times have changed. We're adapting and evolving
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: in college football as we go along. What does Rutgers
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: bring to the Big Ten?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: The basketball team stinks. I don't think any of their
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: non-reb sports are upper echelon in the Big Ten. They're
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: close to New York in terms of proximity. Not like
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: anyone in New York is chosen to watch and turn
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the television on. Like, is there a point where the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Big Ten was like, it just kind of is like, nah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Go to the A-10 or whatever.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have 20 teams now, so you just
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: shave it down to 19 is what you're saying.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Like, that's the, and I think with the whole.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The Big 19.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Protect college sports, like. Do you trim a team and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: do you bring in a team that actually has a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: legitimate football team or has a legitimate basketball team or
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: has a legitimate, not like you can talk about like, oh, Nebraska,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Nebraska at least got an unbelievable volleyball team. Maryland has
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a good women's basketball program. I mean, if you want
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to talk about teams that don't really, but what does
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Rutgers bring into the Big Ten?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Nothing. Well, no, they bring us laughs. I mean, they do.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, to have a firework show after being a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: 30-point favorite at home and losing that game outright and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: still going on with a firework show, I appreciate Rutgers,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I want them to stay right there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: How about that? And they paid $ 1. 5 million to UNAS
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to play that game. And I would just say, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: if you're already pot committed, go ahead and play the fireworks.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You already spent the money on them anyway, so. What's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: another couple of grand?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Let's take Rutgers out of the Big 20 and put
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: UMass in. How's that sound? What do you think?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Yes. Exactly. We'll get the combo Boston market there
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: in a lovely Amherst mess.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yes. I can't believe you're in Bloomington, Indiana right now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That we are starting college football seasons. Mikey, this is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: unbelievable that we are starting college football seasons in Bloomington, Indiana,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: because Indiana is on top of the football world, man.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Bear, if I would have told you 365 days ago, hey,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: next year, you're going to need to be in Bloomington,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Indiana to start the season because that's going to be
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the central hub of the college football world.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: What would you have said to me?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I would have laughed at you and told you you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: were absolutely insane.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Actually, you mean Indiana's going to play a big non-conference
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: game against a big, powerful opponent to start her off? Oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten's going to start with Indiana, Ohio State,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate? That would have been my reaction.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: As a Miami alum, when I kind of pulled in
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: late last night, I kind of had a little wheezy feeling.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to throw up after just kind of, oh, God,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this is it. I'm going to be here for a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: national championship celebration. But, hey, give them credit, man. They
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: won the title, and they are deserving of all of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the accolades that they are. I might even plagiarize and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: steal your question that you asked the other day on
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the show tomorrow. I might ask during the show, like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Indiana fans, are you a basketball school or a football school?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, you should. Yes.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think it was John Fanta who was on with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: us yesterday. He said, if you ask an Indiana fan,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: would you rather win a national championship this year in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: basketball or football? He felt like most people would respond basketball.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that. Maybe in a weird way, though.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's because... The basketball program has been down for
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: so long, and they haven't won a title in forever.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And they got to the title game with Mike Davis in, what, 2002? Yeah,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Mike Davis, yes. Maryland? Yeah. But the basketball team's been down. So, like,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in a sense, the football team was at the bottom,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and they came back up and won a title, maybe
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in that sense. But I'd be curious to get the reaction.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yes. What'd you make of Colorado pulling that one out
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: on the road? Georgia Tech, I'm so accustomed to Georgia
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Tech getting off to that 2-0, 3-0 start and being
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: ranked like number nine in the country, and then they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: just fall out of the top 25 eventually. Not the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: case this year. But Deion gets a big win on
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the road. That was impressive for Colorado.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: That was because we all laughed and had our chuckles
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: at the videos that they were sending out and kind
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of looking like an undersized JV team. But they... that's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: an alarming loss for Georgia tech, man.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Like if you're Brent key and you pride yourself on
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: running game and offensive line and toughness in the trenches
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and you get manhandled by Colorado up front and both
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball, that is a bad, bad deal.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But give, give CU credit. They, they really should have
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: been up bigger in the game. It probably should not
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: have come down to what it did at the end,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: but that they, they came out and they made the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: plays when they had to. And, Good for them for winning.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if my big noon travels have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: me headed to Boulder in a couple weeks.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just surprised, Dion. You know what? I think a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: lot of people just assume once Shador was gone, Dion
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was gone. Dion is in this for the long term.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He wants to be a coach. Yeah, he takes it seriously.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And good for.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Him because I think it kind of dispels a lot
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of myths and puts people in their place. He does
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: want to be involved in these kids' lives, and he
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: does want to coach, and he loves the sport, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: he loves... being a mentor and a teacher to all these. But, yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: after the way last year went, the way they finished,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: who would have blamed him if he was like, yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I can't do that, my health problems. But I think
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: he has a lot to prove to himself, too.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to some picks here in a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: few minutes. Everyone very thrilled with Bear last week because
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he gave us North Carolina. And Virginia. And Virginia. Taylor
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is thrilled because Carolina is off, which means they get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to be 1-0 for another week. He can sit back
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and relax and not have to worry about Bill Belichick
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: losing another game. The Canes play Stanford tonight. Bear went
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to the University of Miami. So we will get to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the picks here in just a second. But what do
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you make of what's going on? I don't like discussing
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it either. I can't wait for the games to start.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: But Lane Kiffin, I mean, this guy and the SEC–
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And now you have the SEC suing LSU. And Lane
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Kiffin doesn't give a bleep about any of it, including
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the kids. And this is, listen, my overall problem with
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin is this. He comes out of a meeting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He announces to everyone, my kids are okay with this.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: They're on board with me getting professional players and bringing
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: them here to LSU. And what I'm telling Lane Kiffin is,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care what they say. I don't care if
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: every one of them says, yeah, we're okay with this, Coach.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: They're afraid to say otherwise. Lane Kiffin is trying to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: justify something that cannot be justified. These kids want to play.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: They don't want competition. They've been there the entire time,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and now two kids are going to waltz in who
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: play to the University of Mississippi and take somebody else's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: playing time. Nobody, and I mean nobody, not one kid
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: in that locker room is okay with this.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing that I have an issue with
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: here is that the kids that are on the team,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the young kids that are looking to get an opportunity
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to play, that's who this is hurting. Yes. I couldn't, like, why,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: what are we doing? Every possible decision that is being
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: made and going to court is ultimately hurting the sport.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Kids who are getting recruited, kids who have sat and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: waited a year with the expectation that they're going to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: move in, like, I he can't play them I mean
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: not even Lane can be that obtuse to to play
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: these guys knowing of the potential ramifications down the line
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Just like there but just imagine the reaction if one
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of those kids says hey you know what Lane I'm
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: not okay with this this is BS he's too.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Afraid to say it right correct you know no one's
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: no one's gonna get disagree And I don't want to
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: say I don't blame Lane, but all these coaches, it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: all about self-preservation.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: All they want to do is win. But here's another
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: thing that not many people will bring up or have
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: brought up. Some have. What does this say about Lane
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and his opinion of the roster that he has. He's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: looking to bring back a couple of guys that didn't
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: make it in camp in the NFL and are looking
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to come back. Is this a potential sign of, like,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: maybe my team isn't as good as I thought it
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: was and I can really help myself out now?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't blame Lane either. I mean, he's doing stuff,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I guess– He's doing stuff that he can do, okay?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So I don't blame him for that. Just don't sell
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: me on every kid in the locker room is okay
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: with what it is you're doing. That's all. That's what
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I care about because they're not, not one of them. Yeah, Mike.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You're saying we don't blame Lane and we don't blame Lane.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Then who are we blaming?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at like the scape.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Of college football.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And while I don't agree with what's happening- We kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: of have to be like, well, this is kind of
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: what you asked for. You wanted to be paid like professionals.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You wanted to make the money and all that. We
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: got to kind of treat you like professionals. And yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: we keep saying the kid is going to be upset
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: and the kid's going to be upset. But the kid
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: is now being like, nope, I deserve to be paid
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: for my, and he does. But at some point, all
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the other stuff that comes with making all that money
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: has to come with it. And that is somebody else
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: is better.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, but not somebody else who already turned pro. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: don't think any of the kids ever expected they'd be
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: dealing with that, and that's the problem. I agree with you.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I agree, and this feels icky.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: This just feels icky.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: All of it feels icky.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, I go, well, this is
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: kind of the slope you went down, isn't it?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yes. No, but I think kids are okay. I think
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they realize the game has changed, that people are going
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to come in, that they're going to have to deal
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with people coming in from the transfer portal that they
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: weren't expecting. What they didn't factor in was that Lane
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Kiffin was going to go to the NFL and get
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: guys who weren't good enough or didn't want to be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there yet, who have already declared themselves for the NFL,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and have them come back to college. I don't think
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: any kid could have envisioned that, you know? Is that fair, Bear? Fair, Bear.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think that is fair. I think, ultimately... when Mikey
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: was saying it was about who do we blame? I
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to blame. I think the blame does lie
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: ultimately with the NCAA for not having their eyes wide
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: open as to what was going on and not thinking
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that we were headed towards ultimately a situation where we're
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: going to have players that need to be paid. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: this is going to ultimately end with some type of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: collective bargaining agreement. And I know that creates other issues
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: down there with, employment status and taxes and however else,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: but that's the only way to, to make this as
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: clean and for you kind of get, you have five,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you got five years to play for this. You can
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: get cut all the, all the other things that, that,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that is ultimately what has to happen. None of the,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: none of the government intervention where it's clear the government
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is looking out for the, for the, for the schools
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and the university and the conferences and not the players.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's, I can't believe I'm rooting for Dabo Swinney. All right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: let's get into the weekend. I can't believe this is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the conversation we're having headed into college football week one.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Week zero was last week. There are games to be played.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: We're sitting here stuck in a courtroom. It is just unbelievable.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: All right, Bear, we have the pen and paper out.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And by we, Mikey has the pen and paper out.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: He snapshots it and he sends it over to me.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And I send it to you and then we all
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: place the bets before we put the episode out so
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: as the line is not to move.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So what are you thinking about this weekend, Bear? What
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: are we thinking?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I laid the points with Miami tonight against Stanford, laid
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: 24 and a half.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I just think it's going to be a hard time
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: for Stanford to move the ball and score points. Their
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: offensive line is devastated today. with injuries after week one,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they'll be able to block Miami.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I think Miami, they have a bunch of guys who
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: are looking to get into the rotation and get playing
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: time in addition to the starters already. Mario has had
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a tendency to kind of run it up on Stanford
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in the past after a couple of really bad losses
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to the Cardinal earlier in his coaching career. So I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: laid 24 and a half with Miami. I took two
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: with Cal against UCLA.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I think one of my unproven, unscientific theories that I
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: have no research result based on is when a line
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: moves across zero, Cal opened up as the favorite in
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: And now UCLA is the favorite. I love when you
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: get the team that was the favorite and they are
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: now the underdog. Again, I've got nothing to prove that
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: this is right or wrong, but in my own head,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I like this. Yes. It should be a fun game.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I think both offenses will be good. I think Cal's
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: roster right now is better than UCLA. I took Cal
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: plus two. I took Oregon minus 24 and a half.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: If I could just stop you for a second here.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: He wants to back up. He wants to back up.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: With the Hurricanes and Stanford quickly, is that as much
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Stanford being bad as it is Miami being good? Your
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts on tonight's game?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I think it's a perfect storm.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's both. I think Miami is much better
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball than a lot
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of people think they're going to be. And I think
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: just the situation with Stanford and their offensive line and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: not really having the skill position players to put a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: threat into Miami. So that's where I am at. Mikey,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: what can you tell me about Tarleton State?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: What can you tell me about tarleton state.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Uh tarleton state tarleton state the texas um yep.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be saying yep to taking the two and
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a half points against bowling green wow yeah they gave
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: up uh tarleton had an opener they gave up 30
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: against prairie view last week which isn't great but their
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: offense they got a A really good quarterback-running back combination.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Dylan Hines and Caden Anderson's team made FCS playoffs last year.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I believe they're top five right now in the preseason.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Bowling Green completely collapsed down the stretch last week. Offensively,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: in the quarterback situation, they got problems. They're a slight
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: favorite at home. There's no home field at Bowling Green.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: So I took Harlan State plus 2.5.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You were headed to Oregon at one point, and I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: cut you off.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: That's okay. I love Oregon. I love Oregon. This might
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: be my favorite play of the week. This might be
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: my unloaded. I think Oregon on the defensive line is
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: going to wreak havoc on Boise. Boise is kind of
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: weak at the quarterback position, weak on the offensive line.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, remember Ashton Genting? They went
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to Oregon and played the Ducks tight. But I think
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: everybody coming back for Oregon, pointing to this season, it
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: feels like a big win for Oregon. And I got
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: two more for you.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, wow. Exciting. I mean, listen, it's college football week one.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I try not to go crazy week one. But then
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: what happens a lot of times is, and I'm sure
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you've discovered this and Mikey's discovered it and Taylor, there's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: certain people out there, in certain sites that you like
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to fade. Like when certain, they pick a side and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: you're like, I got to take the other side just
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: for prerogative sake. I laid 29 and a half with
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Texas against Texas State. I think it's too easy to
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: say that they're just going to pull their starters. They
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: got Ohio State next week. They're looking ahead to that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: They don't care. Texas's roster is loaded. Cam Coleman, one
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: of the best wide receivers in the country. We'll see
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: what happens with Arch this year. They're going to put
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: up a bunch of points on Texas State. I don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: think even if they pull their starters, it's going to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. And then one of my ugly
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: dogs of the week is FIU.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Ooh, an ugly dog. FIU. Billy Gill is going to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: be thrilled about this pick. Getting 14.5 against South Florida.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Brian Hartline's first game as USF head coach at the Bulls.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: But FIU, Simmons is building a little bit of a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: culture there. They were kind of plucky at times last year.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Good running game, solid on the defensive side of the ball, really.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: They're kind of that team that you're getting guys from
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Florida that maybe they're not good enough to play at
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the big three or whomever else. But the depth in
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: athleticism here, 14.5 against a new look USF team with
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Brian Hartline in his first game as head coach. I'll
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: take the Golden Panthers there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Is that game at Pitbull Stadium?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: No, Pitbull. No, it is up at Raymond James, Pirate Ship,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Big Sombrero, whatever stadium it is right now, backfield.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yes. You know what's happening with FIU and other programs is,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you're right, they're getting kids that maybe weren't good enough
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to go to Miami. They're getting kids who go to Miami, USF, Florida,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Florida State, who aren't getting the playing time they thought
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: they were going to play. And FIU reaps the benefits
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of getting some of those kids. That's the good thing
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: about the transfer portal, is those kids get an opportunity
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: if indeed they want it, you know? Yeah. All right,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: so he likes FIU. We have to come up with
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: names for these. The unloaded game.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Unload the clip is Oregon versus Boise. Unload the clip,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: take the money clip off, and start going like... If
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I use the dirty dog of the week.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Mikey, you have all these written down? All of them?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: What is this, my first day? No, it's not your
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: first rodeo. I'm just wondering if we need to announce
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: him again to the audience in the event that they
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: missed him. It's a podcast. Rewind it. Give us another listen.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's such a jerk. All right, Mikey A., listen, it's
• 20:50

• 20:54

• 22:51
  Speaker 1: get to the NFL, Taylor raised a very interesting question
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: on the show yesterday. I've been thinking about it for
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a long time. Can you be, I've been all night, actually.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Can you be a fan? Can your favorite player of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: your favorite team be a guy that you never saw play?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Meaning you weren't born when he was playing. Like if
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you're a Dallas Cowboys fan and you were born after
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Roger Staubach retired, so you never saw him play. And
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: someone says, hey, who's your favorite Cowboys? Can your response
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: be Roger Staubach?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Of course not.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: That's a ridiculous, ridiculous question.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Taylor thinks you can?
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I think it's different for different teams. If
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you ask Jet fans who is their favorite Jet of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: all time, many of them might say Joe Naiman. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I understand why, even though they hadn't seen him play,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and I understand why. They haven't had anyone better to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: root for since Naiman.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: They've had Darrell Rivas. They've had Curtis Martin. They've had– no,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: this is crazy. This is a crazy question.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I think maybe there's a different word to use than favorite.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe best, most impactful, legendary. But, yeah, no, favorite, like
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I could– Yeah, no, I couldn't say my favorite Jet was–
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: even though I did see– I was four when Joe
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Namath played his last season in the NFL.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't blame someone if they say
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Namath just because the Jets have been– you do, Mikey.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I do because all you know of Joe Namath is
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the highlights. You don't know– you didn't watch him start
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to finish in any game and see, oh, man, he
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: missed that guy, but I know he's going to come
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: back because I've watched him.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: No, all you know is highlights.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So if an Oiler fan says, hey, my favorite Oiler
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of all time is Wayne Gretzky, he can't say that,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: even though he never saw Gretzky play? No, he can't. Okay.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Because he never saw him play. I mean, but if
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you hold on a second, if you were born after
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan retired and you're a Chicago Bulls fan. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: all you've heard growing up in that city is Michael
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Jordan this, Michael Jordan that. He was the greatest. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the Bulls have been lousy since Jordan retired. Why can't
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan be your favorite Bull of all time?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: You could have him as the best player of all time.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: You could have him as the best Bull of all time.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: But he can't be your favorite. You don't know the
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: hurt when he left to play baseball and the joy
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: of having him come back.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You didn't have that. You can't have that be your thing.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he could be the greatest. But no, Joe Kim
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Noah is everybody's favorite ball. Derek Rose.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Well, someone brought up Derek Rose yesterday. He won an MVP.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: So I guess I don't know. Maybe. I understand what
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you're saying. All right, let's get to the NFL here, Bear.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It kicks off in six days. Very excited. What are
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you thinking here?
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Giants under seven and a half wins is certainly something
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: that's there.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I think... Yeah, I'm not high on the Giants at all.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's so bizarre. Like, oh, OBJ is back.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And the fact that OBJ might be your number two
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: or number three wide receiver, that's a problem. It is. Like,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: they're wide receivers not being fully healthy. I was just
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: watching TV here before, and Skadaboo wasn't sure he really
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: wanted to play again. Jackson Dart lives in the tent.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I know they had a great draft, but they're not
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: as good as the Eagles in that division. They're not
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: as good as the Cowboys. They're closer to the Commanders
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: than they are. And you look at the late season schedule,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they're getting to eight wins.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: But, Bear, did you see that catch in 2014? I mean,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: come on. One moment Hall of Fame. What else are
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you looking at for the season here?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I bet the Ravens to win the Super Bowl. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: think people are kind of– people are sleeping, I think,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit on the Ravens this year.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So, wait, when did you put this in, Bear?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: The hand is up.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, when did you put this in?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: When did I put it in?
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, what were the odds when you put it in?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, 12-1.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: 12-1. I don't know what they are now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I think people are like– look, people high on the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Bengals in that division. Nobody else, I think, is any
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: good in this. Steelers stink. brands are terrible but i
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: think people because harbaugh's gone it's a first year head
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: coach i think people view that as a negative yeah
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: what i've heard in camp this year like like the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: attention to detail and it's kind of like a re-motivated
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: refresh like lamar i'm told is like having fun again
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: for the first time in a couple of years because
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: apparently it wasn't great the last I think after the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: year they had last year and all the questions about
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: playoff Lamar, I think the Ravens are going to be
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: pretty good. And I know there are some, I don't
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: know if it's up in every state. You can bet
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: who will the last undefeated team be. I bet this
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: as well for the Ravens. I forget. It might have
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: been 17-1 maybe. I can't recall what it was. So
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: forgive me if I gave the wrong info. But if
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: you look at the Ravens' schedule, I believe week three
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: they have the Cowboys. But all other six games that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: they have are super winnable. So if you can get
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to week three, they beat the Cowboys, and then you're
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: looking at 7-0 might be doable. But I am high
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: on the Ravens this year. It's a little bit of
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a bet against the Bengals and the buzz and the
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: steam that the Bengals have. But I think the Ravens
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: are poised for a big season.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Bear, what else are you looking at here?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: If you're looking for a real super ridiculous long shot
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in the rookie of the year markets, R. Mason Thomas
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: from the Kansas City Chiefs is a rookie gen from Oklahoma.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Really disruptive pass rusher. He's getting a lot of buzz.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: He was 75-1. I don't know what he is now.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: It's probably considerably lower, but he might be worth it
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: because in that Kansas City defense, someone is going to
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: have to He could be the beneficiary of all the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: attention Chris Jones and some others are getting. Offensive side
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: of the ball, Javante Williams is someone running back from
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Denver that I think is worth a play. I believe
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: it was 55-1 when I bet him.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: He's a good player.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the Cowboys before with the Giants. I bet
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys to win the division.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I hate the fact that I'm doing that. I hate
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the fact that I'm buying into that. I usually laugh
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: when I hear about– Are the Cowboys a Super Bowl contender? Again,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, is he the best court? But it's hard
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: to argue that they don't have a ton of talent
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball. And they made
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: massive improvements on the defensive side, whether it was free agency, trades, draft.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I think they are going to be light years better
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: than they were last year. And if they can stay healthy, like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Cowboys stock, Brian Schottenheimer, coach of the year, like 18-1, 16-1.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Cowboys to win the division at like plus 205. All
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: of those things, I think, make a ton. Schotty is,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: it's weird. We always talk about these coaches who like
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: when they become, go from coordinator to head coach and
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: it never pans out. Schotty is like the opposite of that.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: He's a much better head coach than he was coordinator.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: And that's rare. So, like, he wasn't– every now and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: then he'd take a couple of shots at him as
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: coordinator and maybe he'll look and whatever. But as a
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: head coach, he's much better as a head coach. I'm
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: a lot higher on the Cowboys, I think, than I've
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: ever been and probably than I ever wanted to be.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Shottie's done a good job, and that division is interesting
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: from this standpoint. Dallas has stability. I can't believe I'm
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: saying it, but they have some stability there. And when
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you compare it to the rest of the division, Giants,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: new head coach, questions still about Jackson, Darb, Philadelphia, they
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: lose A.J. Brown, and we're constantly questioning Nick Sirianni. But
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how the Eagles
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: look without A.J. Brown. And, of course, you have the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Commanders with Jaden Daniels coming back from an injury. And
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: so why not the Cowboys? I actually like that pick.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I love that pick. It's my favorite pick of all
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the picks you've given us here. Yes.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I got one more for you.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Remember this time last year, we're sitting here. Is Matthew
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Stafford ever going to play again? How's Matthew Stafford's back?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Is he ever going to be healthy? Who will the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Rams quarterback be? It's no way Matthew Stafford's going to play.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And then he went out, had an MVP season, stayed healthy.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Now we're just talking about, Like, oh, it's a foregone conclusion. Oh,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: he's fine. There's no worry about it. He played last year.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: He'll be okay. When you're looking at these player props,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: more things can go wrong than can go right. I
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: bet Stafford under 38, 99 and a half passing yards.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Adams is a year older. Who knows if Pook is
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: going to be suspended or if he can stay healthy.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Can Stafford stay? We're all assuming. that this is going
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to go swimmingly this year in L.A. And we hope
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: it does. We'd love to see everything go well and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: him have a great year like the talent. But who's
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to say it doesn't get nicked up? Who's to say,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: in fact, it doesn't flare up? Who's to say his finger,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: he had hand problems in the past? Under 38, 99.5
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: passing yards on Stafford.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: All right. I like it, Mikey. I like that. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: like it. The NFL ones. I love, I mean, I'm
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: not saying I don't love the college ones, but I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: love the Cowboys. And I love that Stafford bet right there.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Who is to say bear who, huh?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: In that division as well. Like they're just being anointed.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Everyone's forgetting about the Seahawks. Seahawks won the damn Superbowl
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: last year. And it's like, they're like total afterthought.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yes. How do you feel about this bet? Taking Seattle
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to not make the playoffs?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I don't hate taking Seattle to miss the playoff or
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the Rams to miss the playoffs. Look at the Rams'
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: first five games.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Other than the one game, I think they have the
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Giants in the first five games. There are four losable
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: games in the first five games. If you look at
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: a Rams season win total under, Rams to miss the playoff,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: all of those. I kind of equated this with college
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: football as well. I think we talked about last week,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: someone that we don't expect to miss the, to miss
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the playoff is going to miss the play. And it's
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: going to happen that way in the NFL as well.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Someone who think is bulletproof and great and a Superbowl contender,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: something is going to happen where they're going to hit,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: whether it's the Rams, whether it's the Seahawks, whether it's
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: the bills, whether it's the Bengals, someone is going to
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: hit a rough patch and they're going to be sitting
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: there nine and eight and hoping that the tie breaks
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: fall their way. at the end of the season.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, it happens every year. The Rams, just quickly here.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, that game's in Australia, neutral field. Then they're
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: home with the Giants. And this is the, I think
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: this is the gauntlet you're kind of talking about here.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Three consecutive weeks. At Denver, at Philadelphia, home with Buffalo. Stuff. Yeah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Bear. We appreciate it, as always. Bears, Bets,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcast, if you want all those
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: picks for the upcoming week and the upcoming season. Enjoy Bloomington, Indiana.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you can, but enjoy it. Do
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: your best. Hang in there.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Actually, good, good, good, good little town.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Good little town.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Good little college town. Yeah, I love a good little
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: college town. Right. Walk around all day. Ask people and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: report back to us on Monday if they would rather
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: win a basketball championship or a football championship this season.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you doing this. It is time for this
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: week's edition of Still You Got. All lines are courtesy
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of our friends over at FanDuel and the FanDuel Sportsbook.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Very exciting. First edition of Still You Got. First week
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of college football. Week one. I know we had week
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: zero last week, but college football starts this weekend. Let's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: get to the games. Tonight's game, Miami, minus 23 and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a half at Stanford. It's a big number. Stanford has
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: all the ingredients to be a good college football program.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: They're lacking one. good players. Miami, they have great players.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Minus 23 and a half. I don't like giving up
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: this many points on the road, but Miami's that good
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and Stanford is that bad. Miami wins the game by
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: 31 points. They cover the spread on the road. James Madison,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: minus six and a half. They're taking on Liberty. Buy
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: it down to six. James Madison, they win, they cover,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: they win by 13 points at home. Penn State, they
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: lose James Franklin. Addition by subtraction. That means Penn State's
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: going to be good. And I'm sorry to whomever got
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: James Franklin. I think it was Virginia Tech. You're not
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: going to be that good. But Penn State, they're good.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I like Matt Campbell. I like this team. Sneaky good team.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: They're minus 24 at home, taking on Marshall. I think
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Penn State wins, and they cover the spread. Penn State
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: by 31 points at home. The big game, Saturday night, Clemson, LSU, Dabo, Lane,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: LSU favored by 10 and a half. I think LSU
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: wins the game. I think Clemson keeps it close. Buy
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: it up to 11. LSU wins. Clemson covers. The Tigers
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: win by five points at home. Northwestern, a sneaky good
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: team out of the Big Ten, I think, this year.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: That's right. I said it. Northwestern. Had I said it
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: about Indiana a couple of years ago, you would have
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: laughed at me. I'm saying about Northwestern right now, they're
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: minus 12 and a half, excuse me, taking on South
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Dakota State. Northwestern wins. They cover the Wildcats with Chip
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Kelly by 17 points over South Dakota State. And finally,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and this is why college football starts this weekend, Mikey,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: it's Hawaii. They're at home. Midnight Eastern. They're taking on UNLV.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Dan Mullen and his Elvis impersonator. Hawaii, plus three and
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a half, taking on UNLV at home. I like Hawaii
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to win the game outright. Buy it up to four.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would do that. I like
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Hawaii to win the game and win it outright, but
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: still buy it up to four. Hawaii wins by three
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: points at home over UNLV. Those are the picks, everyone.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Enjoy week one. And good luck.
