- 0:17Hello, and welcome to episode 200 of the All Systems Go Sports
- 0:23Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:26I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on everyone?
- 0:33Happy Friday. Our work week has come to an
- 0:36end. We are now within 24 hours of
- 0:39the NFL Divisional round, which happens to be one of my favorite
- 0:43betting weekends of the year. Enjoy it.
- 0:46While last year, guys, it's the last doubleheader or pair of
- 0:49doubleheaders that we have two Saturday, of course, 2 Sunday,
- 0:52then we'll get conference championship weekend and then
- 0:55obviously we got the Super Bowl coming up as well.
- 0:57But this should be a lot of fun. I have liens on all these games.
- 1:00As of right now, I don't have any official bets, but I do want
- 1:03to remind you all that we'll be doing a special rhythm live
- 1:06stream on Twitter, 11:00 AM Eastern Time tomorrow.
- 1:09It'll be myself and James Santor, so that's probably when
- 1:12I'll unveil some official bets as well as some player props
- 1:16that I'm monitoring at the end. At the tail end of this pod.
- 1:18I'm going to give you just some updates on just how I'm thinking
- 1:20through these four games here. And one of the reasons why I am
- 1:24going to wait a little bit is because we're kind of hanging
- 1:26around key numbers and hooks. Let's see where this late, late
- 1:29movement breaks. Obviously, I have leans and
- 1:32we'll talk through them all as well as some good system matches
- 1:34and rhythm edges. So hope to see you guys
- 1:36tomorrow, 11:00 AM Eastern Time for the rhythm live stream,
- 1:40which will be streamed live on Twitter.
- 1:42You can follow me at Josh under score insights and we'll be
- 1:45we'll be off and running tomorrow at 11:00 AM Eastern
- 1:47Time. Getting you ready for a big NFL
- 1:49weekend. Now looking toward tonight guys,
- 1:51let's finish up our week strong here.
- 1:53I have a four pack of sweats for you.
- 1:55It's going to be all college hoops.
- 1:57I got three dogs. I'm hoping that will bark for us
- 1:59as well as a total that I'm hoping we'll go over the number.
- 2:02This is a bit of a buy low over numbers really fall in here a
- 2:06bit. I'm thinking, hey, has it fallen
- 2:07too much? Going to root for some points in
- 2:09this one and then finishing up the pod with the UFC play for
- 2:13you. That's right biting in the
- 2:15arena. We got UFC coming up for
- 2:17tomorrow night. I believe it's a pay-per-view,
- 2:19but I do have one fighter here or biter who has a fantastic low
- 2:23bets, higher dollars bet split as well as a really sharp line
- 2:26move. And oh by the way, my buddy
- 2:28gamble and Lou, my colleague at V Sin, he likes this fighter as
- 2:32well or this biter as well. So hopefully we can get a winner
- 2:35for Saturday in the UFC. Now looking back to her last
- 2:38night, guys continuing to grind, not getting the brakes we want.
- 2:41Overall 2 and 3 -, 1.3 units. We had a couple nice hits.
- 2:45The Liberty UTEP over 134 1/2 was able to come through.
- 2:50The one that was kind of unbelievable and probably took
- 2:53ten years off my life was Portland.
- 2:56Boy, do we nail that Portland one.
- 2:57I remember 2 bad teams going head to They were down quite a
- 3:01bit, went to overtime, could have won it multiple times,
- 3:04could have lost it multiple times, but found a way to get it
- 3:07done. And we money line them when they
- 3:09were, I want to say -2 1/2, then up closing -3 1/2 - 4.
- 3:13So that was nice to see Portland come through.
- 3:16But the frustrating ones were the Devils.
- 3:19Come on Devils. They had a one nothing lead, a 2
- 3:22to one lead, a three to two lead.
- 3:23They blow all of their leads. They go to overtime, they lose
- 3:27in overtime. So I don't know what it is about
- 3:29some of these these teams blown leads for us, but that one hurt
- 3:32because the Devils were in control pretty much the entire
- 3:34time. And then you know what they did?
- 3:36They blew it for us. So that was not fun.
- 3:39Coastal Carolina went to overtime, end up losing by one
- 3:43and then Tennessee Tech was down big, made it interesting, end up
- 3:46losing anyway. So as always, guys win, lose or
- 3:50draw. Let's see if we can post a
- 3:51winning day here for today and maybe some of these breaks will
- 3:54start to go our way. Wouldn't it be nice instead of
- 3:56blowing leads where we come back and win?
- 3:59That would be nice to see. I'll be the way guys.
- 4:01Let's talk about our place for today, also UFC for tomorrow and
- 4:04then I'm going to finish up with some thoughts on these
- 4:06divisional round games in the NFL.
- 4:09So starting with college hoops tonight, guys, Couple games here
- 4:12that caught my eye. I want to begin with, we'll go
- 4:15in chronological order, a six PM game tonight.
- 4:18This is Ohio and Akron. Now.
- 4:20This one's kind of been all over the place, but if you haven't
- 4:23got it yet and you can get a pretty decent number at this
- 4:25point. So going into it, we have two
- 4:28pretty good teams facing off in this one.
- 4:31Reminder, early game, 6:00 PM. But we have Ohio coming in 10
- 4:35and six. They've won six straight.
- 4:36Just took down Ball State 86 to 71, covered as a nine point home
- 4:41favorite. You know, Akron 11 and five.
- 4:44They've won four in a row, just beat Toledo 8578, but did not
- 4:47cover as an 8 point home favorite.
- 4:50So what are we seeing across the board here?
- 4:51Well, this came open with Akron listed as a 2 1/2 point home
- 4:55favorite. And the public is playing Akron
- 4:57here. Short number at home, 66% of
- 5:00bets at DraftKings, 60% of bets at Circa, both playing the Zips.
- 5:05But this movement has been kind of back and forth.
- 5:07We at one point saw Akron fall from -2 1/2 all the way down to
- 5:11-2 even -1 1/2 at a few shops. I, I this keeps happening to me
- 5:17and it's very, very frustrating, but I played Ohio noticing that
- 5:21good sharp reverse line move at plus 2 1/2 and then after I bet
- 5:25the game about an hour later, it's now crept back up to Akron
- 5:29-3 1/2. So remember this happened the
- 5:32other night with Uri where I got, what was it 3 1/2.
- 5:35It closed 4 1/2. It lands on four.
- 5:37So the the patient better was able to cover that one where I
- 5:41probably vetted a little bit too early.
- 5:43It's always a tough decision when you see a line moving and
- 5:45you're not sure which direction it's going to go.
- 5:47But I will give you a couple angles here to still kind of
- 5:50like the points of Ohio. But Long story short, you're
- 5:53still can train with Ohio. You can get a 3 1/2 now at this
- 5:55point. And you do have some good bet
- 5:58splits here. Ohio at DraftKings, 34% of bets,
- 6:0147% of spread dollars. You also get circa 41% of bets,
- 6:0656% of dollars. So both books showing a pretty
- 6:09good low bets, higher dollars bet split.
- 6:11Ohio does have some advantages here.
- 6:13Better effective field goal percentage, 55% versus 52%, take
- 6:18better care of the ball 91st and turnovers committed versus 145th
- 6:23for Akron, OH would match a dog who can score system play.
- 6:27They're averaging 81 points per game.
- 6:29So either if you're going to cover as a dog, you got to play
- 6:31really good defense and keep the keep the number close or keep it
- 6:34down, or you got to put up a lot of points in order to keep pace.
- 6:38So averaging 81 a game. Hopefully Ohio's got the
- 6:40firepower here to cover this number.
- 6:43And here's a system match that still applies.
- 6:45Short Rd. conference dogs that are getting 4 points or less.
- 6:49They're 94 and 72 against the spread this year, 57% with an 8%
- 6:54ROI. So again, I jumped the gun a
- 6:56bit. This thing got all the way down
- 6:57to 1 1/2. I felt like it was time to grab
- 7:00the 2 1/2, but hey, maybe this is another Billy Walters back
- 7:03and forth head fake. It's now 3 1/2 but I'm going to
- 7:06dance the one who brung me. I'm sticking with my bad.
- 7:08Ohio 2 1/2. If you want to play it now
- 7:10again, 3 1/2 is available to you.
- 7:12And I would mention Rhythm does have this game.
- 7:15Ohio plus 2.4. So hopefully, hopefully it does
- 7:19land 2 or less, but I'm going to go with the dog here.
- 7:21Ohio again. You can now get them at 3 1/2.
- 7:24Next one for you, VCU and Saint Joe's.
- 7:28This is a 7:00 game. We have VCU coming in 13 and 4.
- 7:32They've won three in a row, just took down Saint Louis 78 to 62
- 7:36covered as a 10 point home favorite.
- 7:38Meanwhile, Saint Joe's, always remember Saint Joe's back in the
- 7:41day with Delonte West and Jameer Nelson.
- 7:44But 11:00 and 6:00 on the year just snapped A2 game losing
- 7:47skid. They blew out Loyola Chicago 93
- 7:49to 57 easily covering as a 5 point home favorite.
- 7:53So what are you seeing across the market here?
- 7:55Well, kind of a frustrating similar situation with back and
- 7:58forth line movement, but once again if you haven't got it yet,
- 8:01you are getting a better number. So what do I mean by that?
- 8:04This game open with VCU listed as a 2 1/2 point Rd. favorite.
- 8:08We saw VCU get down to -2 even -1 1/2 across the market.
- 8:14So once again I said hey let's grab, let's grab Saint Joe's
- 8:18plus 2 1/2. Now we've seen this creep up to
- 8:213 1/2. So who knows maybe another head
- 8:23fake here, but some reasons to still like VCU in this situation
- 8:27or sorry to still like Saint Joe's in this situation.
- 8:30One is Saint Joe's pretty good bets what only 42% bets 65%
- 8:35dollars. Ken Palm has VCU losing by two
- 8:39or sorry Saint Joe's losing by two.
- 8:42Rhythm has them just plus one or plus 1.5.
- 8:45So I do like that angle here playing this home dog.
- 8:49Also, if you look at Saint Joe's, better offensive
- 8:52efficiency, 54% versus 52%, better three-point shooting, 35%
- 8:57versus 32% and at the charity stripe, 74% versus 71%.
- 9:04Do have a rest advantage here. For the Saint Joe's Hawks, they
- 9:07last played on the 11th versus VCU last playing on the 14th.
- 9:11So a little extra time in the gym, rest rehab game plan, home
- 9:15Rd. splits. VCU is just one and two on the
- 9:17road, Saint Joe's seven and three at home, and we have
- 9:20another system match on Saint Joe's.
- 9:22If you are a short home conference dog getting 4 or
- 9:25less. Those teams this year, if the
- 9:27line stays the same, removes in their favor.
- 9:29Now this no longer applies because it did just creep back
- 9:31up, but that system was 31 and 20 against the spread, 61% this
- 9:36season, 15% ROI. So I'm going to stick again with
- 9:40my bad 2 1/2. If you want to play Saint Joe's,
- 9:43go contrarian again. Ken Palms got a 2 point game and
- 9:47we have what was it rhythm with A1 and a 1 1/2 point game.
- 9:52But if you want to go Saint Joe's Contrarian, you can now
- 9:54get a 3 1/2. Luckily one that hasn't moved
- 9:57against me, which is nice to see.
- 9:59Late night sweat. Boise State and New Mexico
- 10:02should be a really good game to the better teams here in the
- 10:05Mountain West. Boise State comes in 13 and
- 10:07five. However, they've been kind of
- 10:09back and forth rotated wins and losses over their last four
- 10:12games. They did just crushed Wyoming
- 10:14though, 96 to 55 easily covered as a 13 point home favorite.
- 10:19New Mexico. Meanwhile, 14 and 4.
- 10:21Remember, this is Rick Pitino's kid who's the coach just saw
- 10:25their seven game win streak come to an end.
- 10:26However, they lost to San Jose State 71 to 70.
- 10:29That was kind of a bad loss. They were favored by 9 1/2
- 10:32points on the road there. So what do we see across the
- 10:35market? Well, a true sharp line freeze
- 10:37in favor of Boise. I'm taking Boise State and the
- 10:40points plus 3 1/2. So this game open New Mexico 3
- 10:441/2 point home. Favorite public is leaning
- 10:46toward New Mexico. Lobos are getting 60% of bets at
- 10:50DraftKings. Yet the lines pretty much stayed
- 10:533 1/2. Now a couple shops did creep up
- 10:55to 4, immediately come back down to 3 1/2.
- 10:58Some books even got down to three and then came back up to 3
- 11:021/2. So split the difference. 3 1/2
- 11:04opener. Basically still 3 1/2 right now
- 11:07even though majority of bets are on New Mexico.
- 11:09So it tells me we got hopefully a live dog here in Boise State.
- 11:13Boise State, by the way, 40% of spread bets, 54% of spread
- 11:17dollars, a good low bets, higher dollars bet split.
- 11:21Ken Palm does have New Mexico winning, but only by two points.
- 11:24So pretty good edge there. If we're able to get Boise plus
- 11:273 1/2, which should be pretty much -110 across the board.
- 11:31Couple advantages here for Boise State, the better offensive
- 11:34efficiency, 29th in the country versus 95th.
- 11:37That's a good edge, hopefully with a dog who can score and
- 11:40keep pace and hopefully cover. Better effective field goal
- 11:43percentage, 54% versus 50%. Better offensive rebound
- 11:47percentage, 35% versus 32%. And also a big edge at the free
- 11:52throw line. Hopefully this is a benefit to
- 11:54Boise State. They're shooting 78% from the
- 11:56charity stripe versus only 68% for New Mexico.
- 12:01Also, Boise only giving up 66 points a game.
- 12:04New Mexico gives up around 73. And this will be another system
- 12:07match. Short Rd. conference dog getting
- 12:094 or less 94 and 72 ATS this year. 57%.
- 12:14So luckily this one hasn't moved against me.
- 12:16I don't know what's going on here with these back and forth
- 12:18moves. It's been, it's been frustrating
- 12:21to say the least. But anyway, this one stayed the
- 12:23same, which is good. I'd love to see it fall down to
- 12:26three, which would tell me more smart money here would be going
- 12:29with Boise, but I'm going to take Boise in the points plus 3
- 12:321/2. Our friends at Rhythm have Boise
- 12:35plus 2.7, so hopefully a good edge right there.
- 12:39Last game of the night, I got a total play for you, Iowa and
- 12:42UCLA. So this is a 9:00 game here
- 12:45tonight. You have Iowa coming in 12 and
- 12:47five, UCLA 11:00 and 6:00. If you want to sweat this one,
- 12:51it's on FS1, but I like the over in this game.
- 12:54Now, one thing I did notice in terms of the side is did move a
- 12:57little bit toward Iowa. UCLA open as high as -7 the line
- 13:01is down or even 7 1/2. Line is now down to 6 1/2.
- 13:05So line moving toward a dog. Hopefully that means competitive
- 13:08game, shorter spread is getting shorter, hopefully benefit
- 13:11toward back and forth play, maybe overtime, which would be a
- 13:14benefit to the offense. But this one has moved so much
- 13:18that it looks to me like it's creating a buy low over
- 13:20opportunity. So this total opened at 1:55 and
- 13:26now you're seeing this line get down to 151 1/2.
- 13:30Some shops even possibly 151. So definitely have to respect
- 13:35the fact that early money hit this under under 155 one 54153,
- 13:40maybe 152 1/2. But now if you're playing the
- 13:43under, yes, you're with the move, but you're also getting
- 13:45the worst of the number. So I'm looking at some angles
- 13:48here to buy low and play this over.
- 13:50I played the over 151 1/2 that was at some reduced juice, I
- 13:54believe was ESPN bet minus one O 5.
- 13:56So it'd be nice to hit that and get a get nearly a full unit
- 13:59back. But a couple things, we got the
- 14:01line moving toward the dog. Now Ken Palm has a 151 and
- 14:05Rhythm has a 151.6. So you're kind of right there on
- 14:08the number. But one thing I was looking at
- 14:11last night and that Liberty UTEP game was basically tempo scoring
- 14:17and being able to hit your threes, which is always a good
- 14:19sign for a for an over. But Iowa, this is a bit of a
- 14:23play on Iowa. They're scoring 90 points a
- 14:25game, giving up nearly 80 points a game.
- 14:27Their offensive efficiency is 17th in the country, effective
- 14:31field goal percentage nearly 60%.
- 14:34And here's the key. 3 point shooting 40%.
- 14:37One of the best 3 point shooting teams in college.
- 14:40Flip it. UCLA not quite as prolific
- 14:42offensively, but they do have an effective field goal percentage
- 14:45of 52%. If you're above 50 tells me it's
- 14:48it's pretty decent. And they are shooting 33% from
- 14:51three, so both teams can knock down threes.
- 14:54Iowa, one of the fastest tempo teams in the country, 72.1
- 14:58possessions per game. That's 18th fastest.
- 15:01And remember, there's over 300 teams.
- 15:04I also like the fact that these teams are rested.
- 15:06Iowa last played on the 14th of January.
- 15:09UCLA last played on the 13th of January.
- 15:12So the fact this thing is falling so much, I'm thinking
- 15:15it's an opportunity to buy low and go over here.
- 15:17Especially the fact that the line is moving toward the dog
- 15:19and we have fast pace, good shooting, good tempo, a lot of
- 15:24scoring. Hopefully this is a higher,
- 15:26higher scoring game. And think of it this way, if
- 15:29this lands 152, we'll be able to cash in the sharps with the
- 15:32under early would cash this one as well.
- 15:35So it's not always about you know what what what side you're
- 15:38playing or what side of the total, but what number you're
- 15:40getting and how how big that line is moved from the open of
- 15:44the current. But I'm going to see if we can
- 15:45maybe buy low and get this over 9:00 game.
- 15:48Iowa, UCLA, I'm on over 151 1/2. So let's get some dogs to bark.
- 15:55Let's get some high scoring games.
- 15:56Now over to the UFC biting in the arena.
- 16:00By the way, this is, I believe, at the Intuit Dome, which is the
- 16:04LA Clippers arena, but this is Makachev and Sarukyan too.
- 16:09Now I'm going to focus on a big bout here between Jamahal Hill
- 16:14and Yuri Prochowska. We've got some big boys going at
- 16:18it here. So for those who are new to
- 16:21betting UFC, get ready. It's the sweat of a lifetime
- 16:24because at any moment you can win or lose, you can knock or
- 16:27choke someone out, you could get knocked or choked out.
- 16:29So just prepare yourself. But I've come up with kind of a
- 16:33data-driven approach here over time where I want to marry the
- 16:36tail of the tape advantages with what the betting market is
- 16:39telling me. So I'm looking for fighters or
- 16:42fighters who are younger, taller and have a longer reach and then
- 16:46also have a low bets, higher dollars bet split and a line
- 16:49move in their favor. So I landed on Jamahal hill.
- 16:53I'm playing Jamahal hill now he's around -140 across the
- 16:56market. But I did find at ESPN bet he's
- 16:59-125 So as always, shop around, have multiple outs.
- 17:03That's my play. Jamahal Hill at -125 Now why am
- 17:07I playing hill? Let's start off with the betting
- 17:09data. Wait, I wake up every Friday
- 17:11morning and I get a nice little e-mail from my buddy John Ewing
- 17:14at Bet MGM who does a nice job of giving me the entire card
- 17:17bets and dollars and line movement.
- 17:19And the first thing I noticed is John Mahal Hill has a really
- 17:22sharp dog to fave line move. He actually opened as roundup
- 17:25even money plus 100 dog and he's now flipped to -125 -, 140.
- 17:31So that tells me a lot of steam came in on Hill.
- 17:34He's also got a really good bet split.
- 17:36He's only getting 54% of bets, but 92% of dollars.
- 17:41Really good low bets, higher dollars, bet split.
- 17:44So basically public split. Yet the line moving the big
- 17:46money is on John Mahal Hill. So that's where I want to be.
- 17:50It's not really an edge in terms of age.
- 17:52He's 33, his opponents 32. You're about equal.
- 17:56He does have a one inch height advantage, 63 inches versus 62
- 18:00inches. They're both around the same
- 18:02reach. So you have the height, you
- 18:04don't have the really the the youth or the reach.
- 18:08So it's not really a perfect play in terms of our system.
- 18:11But here's what kind of sent me over the edge of the hill,
- 18:14significant strikes per minute. I was reading about how both
- 18:17these guys, they don't like to go to the mat, they don't really
- 18:19wrestle. They're both kind of strikers.
- 18:22And John Mahal Hill is the much more aggressive striker.
- 18:25He is dishing out 7.2 significant strikes per minute
- 18:30versus only 5.4 for Yuri Prochaska.
- 18:34Then obviously you want to look at offense, but defense is also
- 18:37important because you got to protect yourself, not get
- 18:39knocked out. John Mahal Hill is only
- 18:42absorbing 3.5 significant strikes per minute.
- 18:45His opponent is absorbing 5.6. So he takes Hill, takes less
- 18:50punishment than his opponent defense of significant strikes.
- 18:5446% for Hill, only 31% for Prochazka.
- 18:59And then the little cherry on top every Friday, once I get
- 19:02that e-mail and I go through the data and I do a little research
- 19:05on my own. Then I I go to my guy gamble and
- 19:08Lou Lou Finocaro, who I work with that at V send and he does
- 19:11a great job. Really, he's the best when it
- 19:13comes to UFC. I throw him a few fighters and I
- 19:16say, hey, you like any of these? And he said, you know what?
- 19:18I'm on Jamahal Hill as well. So I like the fact that our
- 19:21buddy Lou also likes hill. So Add all up dog to fave line
- 19:26move. Great bet split, dishing out
- 19:28more offense, taking less, less punishment defensively.
- 19:32I'm going to play John Mahal Hill.
- 19:33I already did. I got him at -125 at ESPN bet
- 19:38now over to the NFL because even though I don't have any official
- 19:41plays yet, I got a lot of thoughts and I got a lot of
- 19:44liens. And I'm going to see you over
- 19:45the next 24 hours. If I can get maybe some, some
- 19:50some movement in the market, indicators in the market,
- 19:53that'll that'll make me feel more confident firing at some of
- 19:55these bets. So right now I'm leading Houston
- 19:58Texans. Kansas City Chiefs opened around
- 20:02-7 1/2 -, 8. They're now up to 8 1/2.
- 20:05But a lot of these eight and a halfs are juiced up towards
- 20:08Houston like it may get back down to 8.
- 20:10So I like the fact that Texans at rhythm are only a predicted
- 20:15plus 6.7 points. So that's a good edge if we're
- 20:18getting 8 1/2. And you would have an angle here
- 20:21of fading a divisional round. Favorite lot of people when it
- 20:24comes to? Betting the playoffs.
- 20:26They think that getting a buy is is huge, and it is, but it's
- 20:30somewhat overvalued if you actually bet against the teams
- 20:33who had a first round buy. That's a 58% ATS record 42 and
- 20:3830 ATS over the last about two decades.
- 20:41It's a pretty good sample size. So that caught my eye with with
- 20:45Houston. I did notice as well Sama JP
- 20:49Ryan over 9 1/2 receiving yards. I'm thinking about maybe playing
- 20:53him rhythms, predicting 18.6. And if you remember, P Ryan had
- 20:58a really good game against Houston earlier this year and
- 21:00he's become much more involved in the offense.
- 21:02So P Ryan caught my eye a little bit and I am leaning Houston.
- 21:05And hey, I know, I know everyone wants to tease down Kansas City.
- 21:08I'm not going to argue with you. 8 1/2 down to 2 1/2.
- 21:12Did see the total fall there. Windy cold.
- 21:15That was around 42 1/2 down to 41 1/2.
- 21:18Next one, Washington, Detroit. I'm holding out see if I can get
- 21:21Washington plus 10. If not, I think I'll take the 9
- 21:241/2. Rhythm has commanders plus 6.3.
- 21:28That's a pretty good edge there. That's new.
- 21:30That's literally 3 points off the current number.
- 21:33And if you look at a fading of a divisional round favorite, we
- 21:36just mentioned fading Kansas City.
- 21:38Will this be a fate of Detroit? And you also have divisional
- 21:42round dogs doing pretty well. They're around 59% ATS over the
- 21:46last about 20 years. So I'm keeping an eye on that.
- 21:49And I am interested possibly in Zach Ertz over 29 1/2 receiving
- 21:54yards rhythms predicting 39. So once again, I haven't played
- 21:57any of these, but these are my thoughts in the way I'm leaning
- 22:00right now. And if you put make me play the
- 22:02total, it's got to be under. Nothing open 5655 1/2 Publix
- 22:07hammering the over, yet it's kind of stayed the same or been
- 22:1055 1/2 juiced up to the under. If you were a high total of 47
- 22:14or more. The under is 3 and O this year
- 22:17it's 65% since 2018. So I am leaning toward that
- 22:21under as well. Rams and Philly, I'm leaning the
- 22:25dog plus 6 1/2 here with the Rams.
- 22:27I did see the line move toward Philly.
- 22:29It was as low as -5 1/2. Now up to six or 6 1/2.
- 22:32There's only a couple shops with the hook, but you can find a
- 22:35couple plus 6 1/2. Rhythm has Rams plus 4.1.
- 22:39So that's a pretty good edge there.
- 22:41Obviously you have the experience with Stafford and
- 22:43McVeigh and you do have, you know, a, a good two good
- 22:47defenses playing as well, which is why we have seen this total
- 22:49dip a bit, 44 1/2 down to 43 1/2.
- 22:52And I was reading reports of possibly a snow game.
- 22:55So it could be cold, could be snowy.
- 22:57But I'm also keeping an eye on that one.
- 23:00And then the big one, the one that we're all excited to sweat,
- 23:03Baltimore Buffalo. Nothing's gotten me off of
- 23:06Baltimore as of now. Most books were Baltimore minus
- 23:10one 1 1/2. There are some books still
- 23:12around to pick them. Pretty much every book is now
- 23:14showing Baltimore favored. They got a pretty good bet split
- 23:17at circa 52% bets, 96% dollars. And Rhythm has Baltimore -2 and
- 23:22if you remember Baltimore, I know it's a long time ago, but I
- 23:25think it was week four, week 5, somewhere around there.
- 23:27They crushed Buffalo like 35 to 10.
- 23:31So that's dog to fave good bet split.
- 23:33Rhythm tells me, hey, that's a should be a -, 2.
- 23:37I really can't, can't go against that one as of now.
- 23:40But again, I'm wondering if we continue to see Baltimore
- 23:44favorite or will there be buyback between now and Sunday?
- 23:47And then if you are looking at some props, a couple caught my
- 23:50eye. Curtis Samuel, receiver for
- 23:53Buffalo, 12 1/2 receiving yards in the market.
- 23:55Rhythm is predicting 19.2. He's been playing pretty well in
- 23:59last couple games. And then Dawson knocks 14 1/2.
- 24:04Rhythm is predicting 21. So those could be a couple guys
- 24:07worth a look. But truth be told, I haven't bet
- 24:09any of these. Again, when you tune into the
- 24:12live stream tomorrow morning at around 11:00 AM or at 11:00 AM
- 24:15Eastern Time, we'll go through all these plays.
- 24:17But I just want to give it a little bit more time as the more
- 24:20public betting piles in here and, and we'll see if we can
- 24:24hopefully squeeze out a few plays.
- 24:25But of the ones I mentioned, I can almost guarantee you I'll be
- 24:29betting at least a few of those. So that's it for now.
- 24:32But again, live stream 11:00 AM tomorrow, tomorrow morning on
- 24:36ESPN on Twitter and we'll be we'll be giving you some updates

- 28:01overtime. Liberty UTEP over.
- 28:03Whatever you do, Devils. What a pathetic Devils play that
- 28:07was that was sharp as a tack. 3 different leads blew them all
