Transcript
- 0:01What's up guys it is week 11. The first set of rankings have
- 0:07come out so now it's about to get serious.
- 0:10I am Darren this is a targeting winters a college football
- 0:13betting podcast. I am joined by Tim looking like
- 0:16a little outdoor set up there. How we doing today?
- 0:19Yes. Doing great, enjoying the
- 0:22sunshine, sort of. It's a little cloudy, but I
- 0:26think next week if I'm stuck down here again, obviously not
- 0:29home, there's a little memorial down the road, some kind of
- 0:33picnic area with a used Black Hawk helicopter.
- 0:38I might just jump in a helicopter and, you know, have
- 0:42some fun with that. I mean, everyone needs a hobby.
- 0:44I mean, if you know, stealing military helicopters is one of
- 0:48them, go for it bro. But you know, as long as you
- 0:52have reception from jail, yeah, if you got jail reception where
- 0:55you can at least still come out and give your picks.
- 0:57I think you have Wi-Fi there. I saw that Cocaine quarterback,
- 1:00he was, he had Wi-Fi in jail. So we're good.
- 1:02There you go. Oh, good.
- 1:04All right, well, let's get right into it.
- 1:05As we mentioned at the top, the rankings came out, I believe it
- 1:09was Tuesday night. And if you're watching us on
- 1:13YouTube, you see the current bracket as it sits after the
- 1:17committee's first rankings are done.
- 1:20I took a look at this. I don't really get too into the
- 1:25first set of rankings because there's a good chance that a lot
- 1:29of this will not look the same four or five weeks from now.
- 1:34Did you have any thoughts? Did you agree with it?
- 1:37Was there anybody you thought was ranked too high that should
- 1:39have been in what? What are your first thoughts on
- 1:42these rankings? You know, well, rankings in
- 1:45general, as you know, I hate but this whole voting thing, but I,
- 1:51I mean, is Memphis really, I mean, I know they're the top
- 1:54group of five team, but if we're going to limit it to 12 teams
- 1:57and every year they they try to nerf it for an SEC team and when
- 2:01it seems like keep changing the rules here, but you know, they
- 2:05should probably give that spot to somebody else.
- 2:07I mean, I've, I mean, I know Memphis looks really good this
- 2:09year, but do they do you really think they can beat, you know,
- 2:13Ole Miss or UVA or anybody like that?
- 2:15I don't think they can, but. No, I agree.
- 2:18We saw it last year when Boise came in and SN well, SNU is not
- 2:23a group of five, but we we saw they there was not a lot of
- 2:26success from the lesser conferences or the board, Boise
- 2:29State for that matter. But this is what we got.
- 2:33You're not going to run a group of five playoff brackets.
- 2:36So I guess everybody gets a chance.
- 2:39Who knows, this could be 16 or 14 next year.
- 2:41Who the hell knows what they're going to do.
- 2:42But personally, I mean, I just take a look at, you know, me,
- 2:45I'm a Notre Dame guy. I think they're ranked a little
- 2:48too high. I don't think they should be at
- 2:5210. I know some people are saying,
- 2:54well, their metrics say that, that they're right where they
- 2:56should be. But you know, after they went
- 2:59oh, and two, everybody's like they went out and they're in.
- 3:02And as we sit here 7-8 weeks later, that's that's the same.
- 3:05If they go 10 and two, they're going to get in.
- 3:08So, but the one thing I do like about the first set of rankings
- 3:12is I kind of look at the teams who are just on the outside,
- 3:16like they like teams like 13 to 18.
- 3:19And I kind of look to play on them because I think they know
- 3:22what's ahead of them. They know they have to win their
- 3:24next three or four games depending on how many they have.
- 3:27And I think for those teams, you're going to get the best
- 3:29effort for the rest of the season.
- 3:31So actually one of my picks falls in that line of thinking.
- 3:35But yeah, nothing else I really disagree with.
- 3:40I last year, sorry about last year with the first round of the
- 3:44the playoffs here. I I wish I pulled the trigger on
- 3:46it. I was going to just bet all four
- 3:48home teams to cover because they all did.
- 3:52I'm looking at doing the same thing again this year.
- 3:54The only you know, according to the the only pause I have here
- 3:59is according to this, Oregon would be a road team playing at
- 4:03Texas Tech. But other than that, I mean, if
- 4:05it holds like this, I'm I'm seeing, you know, just bet
- 4:10Georgia, you know, was that Ole Miss bet Notre?
- 4:15Dame not betting BYU, man, that's good.
- 4:18That's one home team you're not taking, you're taking the.
- 4:21Oh, yeah, the the other home team, I'll get Notre Dame.
- 4:23I I see the bottom. I always assume bottom is the
- 4:25home team. Yeah, that's great.
- 4:27Yeah, it's reversed in this one. So they got a, they got the home
- 4:30teams on the top, on the bottom and the top.
- 4:33Yeah. Oh, it's just weird.
- 4:35Yeah, it'll all look different next week, so, but well, maybe
- 4:38not all of it, but I don't see Ohio State and Indiana losing
- 4:41their spots anytime soon. But I don't know.
- 4:44But anyway, they're out now. Everybody's going to pay
- 4:46attention and bitch and moan for the next four or five weeks.
- 4:48We'll hear coaches complaining and plug in for their team to be
- 4:51I. Don't want to hear it, I really.
- 4:53Don't. Yeah, but you're going to
- 4:54because. That's.
- 4:55What these coaches are supposed to do?
- 4:57When they went to four, I mean, hey, in my eye I'm a Homer, but
- 5:02he's the greatest coach of all time, Bobby Bowdon said.
- 5:04Once you have one and two, who cares about three and four?
- 5:06Who cares about 13 through whatever what you got top 12,
- 5:09you can't finish in top 12. Shut the hell up.
- 5:11I don't want to hear. It you know, you know it's all
- 5:13about the mighty dollar and the. More Yeah.
- 5:15Like none of this has anything to do with getting making the
- 5:18game better or they don't care who really wins.
- 5:21They don't care about finding a championship.
- 5:22They all just want to make more money.
- 5:23And it's a bunch of people that don't care about football at all
- 5:26making these decisions. I kind of like the first round.
- 5:29I I like that four campuses get to at least host a home game
- 5:33that, you know, that means something when the season's
- 5:34over. I'm not against that.
- 5:36And you know, hey, we're a betting show.
- 5:37More games we have to bet at, the happier we are so.
- 5:41That's true. Don't hate it.
- 5:43Don't know if I want to see it go to 14 or 16, but we don't
- 5:46need to be playing college football into March.
- 5:48But. Yeah, but if it holds true the
- 5:51way it did last year, I think 8's the perfect number.
- 5:54I mean, I think so too. Last year, 9 through 12 had no
- 5:57business being in the playoffs and they showed it.
- 5:59They got worked. So.
- 6:00Yeah, we'll see. All right.
- 6:03Well, Speaking of getting worked, we've been doing some
- 6:05work on winning some games here. So if you're new to the channel,
- 6:09thanks for checking us out. If you've been watching or
- 6:12listening since the beginning, thank you guys as well.
- 6:14We appreciate your loyalty. Last Tuesday, you and I are
- 6:19falling in love with these YouTube shorts now that we're
- 6:22competent enough to actually throw them out there.
- 6:25And from last Tuesday to yesterday, which Tuesday,
- 6:29Wednesday, Friday, Sunday when I do it.
- 6:31Yeah, 9 days. Yeah.
- 6:32So I I did some math. I know you're shocked.
- 6:35I did math. Not math.
- 6:37Not math at math. That's.
- 6:39Me, I'm down in Florida. I do the math here.
- 6:41That's fine. But if you've been rolling with
- 6:43our picks, dude, I don't know if you know this or not.
- 6:45We are 12 and four since last Tuesday, spearheaded by Pete's
- 6:50five and O. But yeah, exactly because he did
- 6:56GO-5 and O5 consecutive unders. So you know, he's, he's in a
- 7:00meeting, he had an emergency meeting pop up, probably because
- 7:03he's spending all his money from hitting all his unders and he's
- 7:05off to. It.
- 7:09And four midweek action worked well.
- 7:15We started off. What did we have?
- 7:17I gave out Akron -10 1/2. I think it went up to like 12
- 7:201/2 by kick off. They won by like 30 something.
- 7:22So that was that was fun. Yesterday you had two bets on
- 7:26the Toledo N Illinois match up. You hit Toledo -14 1/2 and be
- 7:30over 41 1/2. We don't care of the overall
- 7:32about themselves. And then in typical Mac fashion,
- 7:38there was a Ball State, Kent State, and I don't really want
- 7:40to get into that because I just stopped vomiting about like 3:00
- 7:45this morning. You saw it.
- 7:47God, I'm sorry the three hours of your life went to that.
- 7:51I was watching YouTube, had a stream, because I do have
- 7:54YouTube Tvi can watch it, but somebody was streaming it on
- 7:57YouTube for me. Just awful.
- 8:04I don't know if you watched it on YouTube it's basically like
- 8:08neither team was wanted to get like trying to find other school
- 8:12win. Just awful bad time management
- 8:17from the Kent State coach who just got the interim tag
- 8:19removed. He literally wasted like a good
- 8:2140 seconds when they were trying to get the the game-winning
- 8:25touchdown. Just awful.
- 8:26Just I all right, screw it. I'm about to get sick again.
- 8:30All right, so let's go on. I mean, yeah, I was gonna say do
- 8:34you have anything for for your games or what you watch from
- 8:37Matt? Well.
- 8:37Thanks to bad eyesight, my 2 bets were at an accidental
- 8:41parlay, so I'm up. Technically I'm up 2.3 units I
- 8:46think because I instead of doing 2 individual bets it went down
- 8:50as one parlay. So you.
- 8:52Gotta watch that, man. Those apps are sneaky.
- 8:54Yeah. I mean, we're old and blind.
- 8:56So I told you yesterday I'm like, yeah.
- 8:57I mean, you know, we still got to count that as singles for the
- 9:00show 'cause that's what you gave out, but your bankroll is a
- 9:02little bit healthier and that's always a good one.
- 9:05But all right, so again, yeah, let's get into this because now
- 9:09I'm in a bad mood from talking about.
- 9:10And I, I cashed Ball State, by the way, and I'm still angry.
- 9:14So we talked about not being able to watch college football
- 9:17on YouTube TV. Our butt cheeks of the wards.
- 9:19Those butt cheeks should be like, yeah, they should be
- 9:22rusted and covered with fecal matter.
- 9:24Because let me tell you something, Disney, ESPN, Google,
- 9:27YouTube TV, you all suck, All right, Get it done.
- 9:31Your trillion dollar corporations.
- 9:33You're hurting us. All right?
- 9:34We just want to watch football, ESPN, We know what you're doing.
- 9:37You want to get everybody to cancel YouTube TV and go to your
- 9:40app. By the way, your app sucks too,
- 9:42because nobody can watch anything on it.
- 9:44So yeah, we're done. Shout out to Pat Mac if you
- 9:47basically told his bosses. Stop shilling and having all
- 9:50your personalities tell you to go to this website.
- 9:51I I think this is more Disney and ESPN than it is Google and
- 9:56YouTube TV, but there's certainly plenty of blame to go
- 10:00around. But on one.
- 10:02Side you got, you know, Google and YouTube, the you know, the
- 10:06Champions of censorship and all that.
- 10:08You know guy, you've said the wrong thing on YouTube but
- 10:10whatever. And on the other side you got
- 10:12Disney who killed Star Wars. So I hate all these people
- 10:15involved. I mean.
- 10:19So I mean the butt cheeks is perfect for them.
- 10:21They are a boiled inner cheek of society.
- 10:25It is like. Literally a quadrant of inflamed
- 10:28hemorrhoidal tissue. I can't stand all four of these
- 10:30people. It's like, really, how many
- 10:32billions more do you need? And the problem is, because
- 10:34YouTube TV apparently is not caving in, they're just like,
- 10:37no, we're not going to do that. Yeah, we have Google.
- 10:40We can outlast this financially longer than you can.
- 10:43But yeah, I mean, we're going on two weeks now.
- 10:46Come on. Just, you know.
- 10:47What we need, you know, that's how bad they are.
- 10:50They're going to make me root for Mr. Amazon.
- 10:52How he can buy college football, put it all on Amazon.
- 10:55There we go. Boom, 13 bucks a month no doubt.
- 11:00All right, well, let's get into your food.
- 11:02Delivery. Let's go now we have.
- 11:04Lots of our negativity out of the way.
- 11:05So we've got another five game slate between Thursday and
- 11:08Friday. We've actually got 3 bets on
- 11:11those five games. So let's take a quick peek at
- 11:13the 2:00. We we don't have any locked in
- 11:16action on but we may have some thoughts.
- 11:19Starting off Thursday we've got Georgia Southern travelling to
- 11:22App State, Boone, NC. Lovely place to watch a game.
- 11:25From what I'm told App State is laying 5 1/2 with a total of 61
- 11:291/2. I didn't really have anything
- 11:32other than I I believe Georgia Southern was a a midweek game
- 11:35couple weeks ago and and our man Drew asked our thoughts.
- 11:40I was like slightly into the over whoever they were playing.
- 11:42Both defenses were ass and it was like 21 to 14 at the end of
- 11:44the first quarter. I I had nothing here spread went
- 11:49down from 6 1/2 to 5 1/2. So there is some Georgia
- 11:51Southern money, but I I don't think I bet on or against app
- 11:54state all year. What was?
- 11:55The over under on that 160. 1 1/2.
- 12:01Yeah, they are ass. I don't know if they're that
- 12:03much ass. Well.
- 12:04They can score and apparently they can not prevent anybody
- 12:07else from scoring so. Yeah, I think we can write down
- 12:12the why. I would probably lay the points
- 12:15then if it's going to be that high scoring.
- 12:18Yeah, yeah, I'd lay the five and a half, you know. 2 bad teams,
- 12:23man. I'm coming off back-to-back days
- 12:24of Akron, UMass and Kent State. Ball State, I can't do it again.
- 12:28So a pass for me here. And the one Friday game we have
- 12:32nothing on. Northwestern travelling out to
- 12:35USC in that great Big 10 library.
- 12:38Yeah. Northwestern getting Yeah,
- 12:41right. Northwestern getting 14 1/2 with
- 12:45a total of 50 1/2. Thoughts on that?
- 12:51That's still USC so I'd bet the over but God Northwestern.
- 12:57I mean, I don't care, I know they're playing better, but two
- 13:03time zones USC take. Them, yeah, that's slightly into
- 13:07USC myself, but yeah, you're right, Northwestern is.
- 13:10Playing actually. A winning record for them at
- 13:12that point. Well, you got the hook there as
- 13:13well. I mean, if you're a numbers
- 13:15player, you know, the hook looks enticing.
- 13:17But I'm with you. If if anything for this Friday
- 13:21night, I'm leaning Usci won't touch it because it starts late
- 13:24and I got to get up at like 4:00 Saturday morning for work.
- 13:26But yeah, slightly in USC here as well.
- 13:30All right, well, let's get into the games that we do have some
- 13:34bets on Pete's. Pete does have one for Thursday,
- 13:37but he like I said, he's in a meeting.
- 13:38So we'll we'll recap that at the end by Friday.
- 13:42You got something on two of the the other two games that are
- 13:45taking place. So what you got?
- 13:49All right, well, the line is Houston -2 1/2.
- 13:52It actually went down to Houston getting a point or getting a
- 13:56half a point. When I be honest, I just bet the
- 13:58money line here on Houston, they're pretty efficient.
- 14:02They've been on the road. Their third down conversions are
- 14:06are pretty solid, a little over 40%.
- 14:10What I like is, you know, you, you, you know, what tells us is
- 14:17they don't need to blow out UCF. They just need to, you know,
- 14:21pretty much not screw up in the fourth quarter.
- 14:24So I like them just straight up to win the game.
- 14:28I'm also betting the over here we, we saw a lot of big plays
- 14:32when we saw West Virginia play them a few weeks ago.
- 14:36So I think there's going to be some big plays, some quick
- 14:39scores. I so I'm the over order went
- 14:44down to 47 1/2. For some reason.
- 14:45It was, I think it opened at 48, so it went down.
- 14:49So I'll take the extra point there, a half point.
- 14:52So I like I have two bets on this game.
- 14:54Actually, I'd like Houston to win the game outright, and I
- 14:57also like the over of 47 1/2. Yeah, I like the Houston side of
- 15:03this. It seems like a great buy.
- 15:05Low opportunity after that, whatever the hell that was
- 15:08against West Virginia last week, you.
- 15:11Know decency. Bias, man, everybody's like,
- 15:14wow, this team just lost to West Virginia.
- 15:16They're terrible, especially after we saw West Virginia two
- 15:18weeks ago and they got puddled by UCF.
- 15:21But yeah, there's this. I I would agree with this, at
- 15:25least from a side point. I don't have any thoughts on the
- 15:27total, but yeah, perfect by low spot on Houston right here.
- 15:31Wasn't super impressed with what we saw at UCF, but then again it
- 15:36was West Virginia so but yeah, definitely like the like the
- 15:40side play here. Yeah, there's going to be a lot
- 15:43of points. I mean, there's I think I of
- 15:46course, you know, 10 seven final now that I just, you know, 85
- 15:52bears against 2000 Ravens. So here we go.
- 15:56That's the way it's going to do. But yeah, I saw that because I
- 15:59originally when I looked at it, I thought it was low and so I
- 16:03just went with it and it went a little bit lower for me.
- 16:05So why not just jump on it? Bet the over?
- 16:11Well P had his other game. Who will will go over?
- 16:13His, yeah, we'll get him. We'll get his at the end.
- 16:17All right, so we'll do. I could.
- 16:19Yeah, both mine are tomorrow. So chronologically, here we are.
- 16:23So we got the Tulane in Memphis. I'm just looking at the 55 1/2
- 16:28point line. Both teams are pretty much
- 16:32offensively, they're kind of high octane.
- 16:34They're putting them nearly 38 points a game for Memphis and
- 16:37has a pretty much balanced attack.
- 16:39Tulane is about, you know, 25 to 30 points a game themselves.
- 16:44They create turnovers on defense.
- 16:46I believe that the turnover ratio favors them as well.
- 16:50I don't have my chart with me, but the passing attack for
- 16:55Tulane can quickly turn the field into a scoreboard of the
- 16:59on their own. So both teams shown they can
- 17:02score in bunches. So I'm looking at this one and
- 17:06it's 55 1/2. I like the over on this one.
- 17:10The weather looks fine so it won't be any crazy rain or
- 17:14anything. I so yeah, 55 1/2.
- 17:18I am betting on the over for Memphis and Tulane.
- 17:24I'm just going to agree with you man, I didn't look at this game
- 17:26at all, not going to lie. Well, now he's just jinxing me.
- 17:30No, man, I'm, I'm just going to agree with everything you said
- 17:32because you broke it down. I did not I, I think I've, I
- 17:37after the Mac thing. I, I really tried to look
- 17:39because you know, you, you win a couple games like you hit a game
- 17:42Tuesday, you hit a game Wednesday.
- 17:43There are video out there. You know, you're putting all
- 17:46your stats out there. First thing you want to do is
- 17:49bet a game on Thursday. I took a look at the two games
- 17:51on Thursday and I'm like, no, not going to do it.
- 17:54Then I got into Friday and I was like, oh, you as senior guy?
- 17:58No, I'm like, you know what, screw it.
- 17:59I didn't even look at the other two.
- 18:02I'm just going to wait till Saturday and and just.
- 18:05Yeah, it's funny how we pick our game.
- 18:07So I just look at the, you know, look on, look at the odds and I
- 18:09look at the games. I'm like, OK, well, that game
- 18:11looks interesting. This looks interesting.
- 18:13And then I look at the I think what the line would be for what
- 18:15I put it at. And then I I see it's different,
- 18:18like, OK, then I look at a little bit more and yeah, the 55
- 18:221/2. I mean, I think this spread
- 18:24should be like the Georgia one, like up in the 61 or whatever
- 18:27and it's 55. So, you know, that's what that
- 18:31was based on me thinking. I think these guys are could
- 18:33score more than you know, Georgia Southern and what app
- 18:35state so. I don't know, man, You guys,
- 18:39some really crappy defenses in that game.
- 18:41But yeah, if that's on ESPN, we won't have to worry about
- 18:45watching it. So yeah, I don't have.
- 18:46To worry about sweating any of these games so I got the next
- 18:49two nights free I'll. Try and get check Pete's because
- 18:52he's got something tonight. So we'll root for no points in
- 18:56his bet for Thursday. But yeah, I like not stressing
- 19:00until Saturday. It's it's it's amazing.
- 19:02All right, Speaking of Saturday, I only did two things.
- 19:05Oh, Nope, that's Pete's. Oh, no, that's Pete's too.
- 19:09There we go. All right, A-Team.
- 19:12I can't figure out the God damn Florida Gators.
- 19:17I think I bet 3 Florida Gator games this year either on or
- 19:20against them, and I've lost all three.
- 19:21So take I've got them figured out.
- 19:23Do you? I don't.
- 19:25Like them? OK, well, you don't like
- 19:27anybody. That's not Florida State to be.
- 19:29Fair. Well, I'm betting them.
- 19:33I'm laying the three here. I I mean, they played well
- 19:38against Georgia and you can complain about that game all you
- 19:41want and you and I did because we both laid the seven with with
- 19:44the Bulldogs and they decided to take the knee.
- 19:47Smart football play, yes, good play for us, not so much.
- 19:52Neither of these teams offensively really excites the
- 19:55hell out of me. But I do think Florida is a
- 19:57little bit better on that side of the ball.
- 19:59You look at some of the common opponents they've had Kentucky
- 20:02against good defenses. Does not put up a ton of points
- 20:06here. Their offense is still
- 20:07struggling even with their with their new quarterback cutter who
- 20:11seems to be doing OK. I don't I haven't seen a whole
- 20:15lot. You know when when Napier left
- 20:17about a ton of kids transferring out.
- 20:20I bet their their injury report they've got like 13 guys that
- 20:23are out but seven or eight of them are already out for the
- 20:26year. But I guess the rules say they
- 20:28still have to be on the report anyway.
- 20:30So Kentucky, I mean, you, you look at this injury report, you
- 20:34could make like half of another program.
- 20:36Both these programs have so many kids on the injury report here.
- 20:39That is true. I just, you know, I still don't
- 20:42trust Kentucky. And I know they went into Auburn
- 20:44and beat Auburn, but I think I've learned my lesson that
- 20:46Auburn is a train wreck. Then I'll get into that because
- 20:50oddly enough, they're my next game.
- 20:52I just think they're gonna like, they seem to put up a a spirit
- 20:55endeavor for Billy Gonzalez in his first game as head coach.
- 20:58I don't think they've checked out.
- 21:01You know, I, I think Kentucky has played worse against lesser
- 21:04opponents. And again, this is a good
- 21:05defense and Kentucky has shown all season long they go up
- 21:08against good defense. They struggle.
- 21:10So at 3, like some apps had three and a half, I probably
- 21:13would have let this one go, but I did get 3 here and I did use a
- 21:20nice little another MGM boost. They gave me two boosts this
- 21:23week. I used one on Ball State
- 21:24yesterday. I'm using the other one on
- 21:27Florida here. So slight plus money laying the
- 21:30three. But yeah, not not a ton of
- 21:34confidence to to go 2 units here.
- 21:36But I think Florida is the better team.
- 21:37They should win this one by a touchdown or more.
- 21:39So I got 1 unit on Florida laying 3.
- 21:42Yeah, I like the way they're seem to be playing for the new
- 21:45coach again. Forgot his name.
- 21:48I don't need to know, Billy. Gonzalez, OR.
- 21:50Whatever. But you know, getting back to
- 21:53the coaching from the game last week, I think son, I forgot to
- 21:56mention we were beneficiaries and victims of the good
- 21:59coaching. We we love to watch because with
- 22:02Pete's under hit and what North Carolina, Syracuse, North
- 22:06Carolina gets the ball 7 minutes left.
- 22:08You know, 1 scorer puts the over in.
- 22:09And what does Belcheck do? Run the ball 30 seconds off the
- 22:12clock, run the ball 30 seconds off the clock, run it all the
- 22:15way down. And where any other coach is
- 22:17probably lining up, doing a hurry up shotgun spread
- 22:20shooting, turning the ball over and or scoring.
- 22:24And they don't need to. And then we got another good
- 22:26coach with Kirby Smart. Well, just take the knee, get
- 22:28the win and get out of town. So, yeah, great for the good
- 22:32coaching. But it was it hurt us and it
- 22:34helped us. But back to the game.
- 22:37Yeah, I like this with the new coach.
- 22:38Maybe they'll hire this guy as the as the new one if they've
- 22:42seen he's he's a sport of lifer. Man, they they seem to play well
- 22:45for him. He's been with that program for
- 22:47a long, long time. So.
- 22:48Oh, nice. OK.
- 22:49I mean, I like when I saw against George, I really thought
- 22:51George was going to stop them. Florida was winning in the
- 22:56fourth quarter and you know that that play that was ruled not a
- 23:00catch. Sorry, man, that was a catch.
- 23:02No wonder these SCSEC officials are getting permanently banned
- 23:05because they still suck apparently.
- 23:07But but again. Didn't see it, couldn't find it.
- 23:10It didn't matter, we didn't win the game, so whatever next.
- 23:13Oh good, the game was on ABC. Nope Nope.
- 23:17That's part of Disney too, so yes it.
- 23:19Is it all is All right, All right.
- 23:22And my last one, yeah. So here now where I said I was O
- 23:27and three picking Florida games. I went back through my stats,
- 23:31Vanderbilt games, whether I'm picking on or against them.
- 23:33I'm 3 and O, So I feel good about this game here because
- 23:35Vanderbilt is involved. I talked earlier about how like
- 23:39when those rankings come out, especially after the first week,
- 23:42I kind of look at the four to 16 that are just on the outside.
- 23:44Well, Vanderbilt's sitting there at 16.
- 23:47What I like about teams in that position is, you know, they're
- 23:50six and two, seven and two, you know, because some teams haven't
- 23:53had their second bye week yet. But you know that when you're in
- 23:58that range, that 13 to 18 range, I mean, you basically know you
- 24:02got to win out. There's going to be a ton of
- 24:04chaos in front of you over the next 4 weeks.
- 24:07Win out. And, and you could very easily
- 24:09get into this bracket. And I look at Vanderbilt, they
- 24:12have Auburn, they end at Tennessee, and they got somebody
- 24:16else lame in the middle. Might be Kentucky after this,
- 24:19I'm not sure. But Vanderbilt's schedule is
- 24:21certainly set up for them to run the table, go 10 and two and
- 24:25make a case to be in this bracket.
- 24:28Not impressed with Auburn at all.
- 24:30I mean, three points against one of the worst defenses in the SEC
- 24:34in Kentucky. Ashton Daniels, as awful as he
- 24:37was, he's going to be the starter.
- 24:39So I feel a little bit better about that because he didn't
- 24:42look that good against Kentucky either at 6 1/2.
- 24:48You know, again, a number play. If this gets to seven, it
- 24:51wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't necessarily do the
- 24:54seven because I've already had like two or three pushes this
- 24:56year. But I think Vanderbilt knows
- 24:59what's in front of them. I I mean, you already look at
- 25:02the rankings. BYU is 7, Texas Tech is 8.
- 25:04They play each other this week. So somebody's going to go down
- 25:07there. You know, Oklahoma plays Alabama
- 25:10the following week. Somebody's going to drop there.
- 25:12I mean, it's there for, for those teams that are just on the
- 25:16outside looking in. And Vanderbilt definitely has
- 25:18one of the best schedules to make the case here.
- 25:21Plus, you know, they, what they, they lost to Missouri a while
- 25:26ago and then Texas. I mean, they were getting
- 25:27shellacked against Texas and I was like, for once, the spread
- 25:31went in my favor because I laid 2 1/2 early in the week.
- 25:33It ended up going off 3 1/2 at kickoff.
- 25:36And then Vanderbilt puts up 21 points in the fourth quarter
- 25:38against that defense. No reason why they can't do the
- 25:41same to Auburn here. I, I, I don't even know if if
- 25:45Hugh Free is getting fired, if they're going to have the, you
- 25:47know, the coach bump, Max effort, whatever.
- 25:50I I just don't I mean, there's nothing I don't know.
- 25:55I mean, nobody can call plays worse than you freeze
- 25:57apparently. So maybe there's some some
- 25:59optimism there. But going to Vandy knowing what
- 26:02Vandy needs to do, I think Pavi will finally actually have a
- 26:06good game. You know, he hasn't really been
- 26:09lighting it up, but defense is solid, just as good as Auburn's.
- 26:13I think. I think at home they'll win this
- 26:15one by ten or more. So I do have a one unit play on
- 26:19The Commodores here. Oh yeah, I agree.
- 26:22I'm ACT. Was anyone really surprised
- 26:25Freeze? I saw Freeze getting fired the
- 26:26day they hired him. I mean, I didn't think it was a
- 26:28good hire from day one. I mean, I was, I was like, why
- 26:31it was bad? Yeah.
- 26:34Such a bad situation. Yeah.
- 26:37It'll be interesting to see how they play out the rest of the
- 26:38schedule and get into the playoffs.
- 26:40They play Tennessee at the end, don't they?
- 26:42Yeah. I think they go to Tennessee,
- 26:43but I'm pretty sure it's Auburn and Kentucky at home.
- 26:46I, I, I know I think it's Kentucky.
- 26:49Don't. I looked and I was like, wow, 2
- 26:50bad teams and a Tennessee team with a really bad defense.
- 26:55There's certainly a team that can go 10 and two.
- 26:58But yeah, I mean, they know what's in front of them.
- 27:00They know if they lose their done.
- 27:01So a lot of teams that are looking at that situation, I
- 27:04mean, hell, it works for Notre Dame.
- 27:06Let's just lose all our games by Week 2 and then we'll just put
- 27:09that pressure on ourselves for the next three months.
- 27:11And it worked out for them. So you know, Vanderbilt's only
- 27:13got to do it three times. Notre Dame got to do it 10.
- 27:15So, you know, I think the nice little bounce back here for
- 27:20Vandy, they might have found sun in that fourth quarter.
- 27:22And you know, the reason I bet Texas against Vanderbilt, that
- 27:24Texas fourth quarter against Mississippi State, I was like,
- 27:27maybe they found something. Hey, you know what, Maybe
- 27:29Vanderbilt got a little back on track with 21 points in the
- 27:32fourth quarter at Texas. So same, same thought process
- 27:36with this handicap. So yeah, 6 1/2, I'll, I'll take
- 27:39it. Just one unit though 'cause you
- 27:42know, I can't figure out Auburn for the life of me either, but I
- 27:45think they're pretty much at right bottom.
- 27:48We're trucking through this without the other guy here, but
- 27:50so let's move on. We'll do the the RPO segment.
- 27:56Yeah, I didn't put too many games on this this week, but
- 28:01most of the most of the big ones with everything with conference
- 28:04implications there. But Indiana laying 14 1/2 going
- 28:08to Happy Valley, total of 448 1/2.
- 28:12Thoughts. I'm running to the over, I
- 28:16think. I think Indiana's just going to.
- 28:18They've been crushing people left and right.
- 28:21I like Indiana, but I'm going to play it.
- 28:23I'm going to go over here. I think they're going to put up
- 28:25kind of like Toledo the other night.
- 28:26They're going to put up like 42 or something by themselves and
- 28:29that means I'm going to get about 10 and they can probably
- 28:32handle that. Yeah, I'll watch you run to the
- 28:34window. I'm going to sit back and not
- 28:36touch this game at all. It's something frightens me
- 28:39about It's been too easy for Indiana that there's got to be a
- 28:41bump in the road somewhere. It may it might not be this
- 28:44weekend, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happens.
- 28:47Georgia laying 9 1/2 at the home of the cowbell.
- 28:50Mississippi State total of 57 1/2.
- 28:52What do you? Think I hate the cowbell.
- 28:55Oh my God, I'd love to see Georgia jump up.
- 28:58So maybe we, if we do have to watch this game, they can put
- 29:01the cowbells away early. But again, I'm going to lean
- 29:04over. I I like I like this game to be
- 29:07over. Mississippi State can score.
- 29:10Georgia can obviously score when they're not playing Florida.
- 29:13So yeah, I like the over here. Getting 9 1/2 intrigues me.
- 29:19I'm not gonna lie, Georgia really should win this game by
- 29:2321 points, but with their defense not at the level that
- 29:27it's used to, wouldn't surprise you.
- 29:28Mississippi State sticks around. Here's a nice match up. 7 versus
- 29:338 in the new rankings. BYU getting 10.
- 29:36Complete disrespect going to Texas Tech with a total of 52
- 29:411/2. LJ Martin supposed to be back in
- 29:43the BYU backfield. Think that makes a difference?
- 29:48I am passing on this game. I'm leaning heavily towards BYU,
- 29:52but if it was at BYU it would be one thing.
- 29:56BYU can make you play their game, so I even though Texas
- 30:01Tech can put up the points I like, I'm going to pass, but I'm
- 30:04really leaning heavily towards BYU.
- 30:07Yeah, I I would lean the other way, but I've been thinking BYU
- 30:10was a fraud all year long and every week they proved to me
- 30:13they're not. But I'm going to hang on one
- 30:15more week and assume that they're a fraud.
- 30:16And I think text to text going to steamroll here, but not
- 30:20confident enough because BYU already screwed me once this
- 30:22year. SMU fresh off their win over EU,
- 30:27who apparently is not back. No, they're not at Boston
- 30:32College. 55 1/2 let down spot for SMU or are they going to
- 30:36steamroll here? I think they steamroll here.
- 30:39This is one of the ones I was actually looking at towards
- 30:41betting so I would you know I would run pick SMU late at 10.
- 30:45I think they steamroll. Doesn't matter about the travel.
- 30:48Yeah, personally, I'm avoiding this game, but I'm going to hope
- 30:51that Boston College pulls the upset because my Louisville bet
- 30:55to win the conference is still has a shot.
- 30:58Another SMU loss wouldn't hurt, however.
- 31:02Your boys with Texas A&M laying 7 at Missouri, 47 1/2 for a
- 31:07total. What how you feeling about your
- 31:09Aggies this week? Feeling good.
- 31:12I think they're playing well. I think they had the bye week
- 31:15last time. We could give a honorary mention
- 31:18for the butt cheeks award to Yahoo Sports.
- 31:20They had an article today about who's going to win the Heisman
- 31:24and their top three were saying Samson and Mendoza barely a
- 31:30mention of Marcel Reed. So they get my honorable mention
- 31:33for the butt cheeks award. But I like A and M -, 7.
- 31:37I should like the over 2. I think they can put up the
- 31:40points. So yeah, I like both of those
- 31:42bets actually. Yeah, I would lean A&M, but
- 31:46again, when we were in Florida, I watch their defense give up 42
- 31:49to Arkansas. So I'm like, I have a hard time
- 31:53putting my hard earned American dollars on them, but there's
- 31:57really no, I mean, Missouri's Tribulus out, you know, Marcel
- 32:02Reed is not. There's no reason why Tex A&M
- 32:04should not cover this spread. Ah, hey, this one was odd.
- 32:07I added this because this this total kind of shocked me a
- 32:11little bit. Oregon making the trip almost
- 32:14all the way across the country, laying 6 1/2 at Iowa, a total of
- 32:18only 40 1/2 in an Oregon game. I mean, what does that tell you?
- 32:24What do? What do you think about this?
- 32:27I'm running to the over. I may actually put this one in.
- 32:30I'll fall. If that's a trap, I will dive
- 32:32head first right into it. But absolutely, 40 points total
- 32:37with a game involving Oregon. OK, let's let's let's roll the
- 32:41dice. See, now I'm thinking that
- 32:43that's a lot of respect for Iowa, like you're giving them 6
- 32:461/2 points, but that you're going to tell me this is like a
- 32:4924 to 17 game or something like that.
- 32:52It's just stinks to high heaven. I don't want anything to do with
- 32:56it because, like you said, either Oregon's going to win,
- 32:58like, you know, 38 to 17 or they're going to lose, like 17
- 33:03to 13. I know whatever I choose, I
- 33:05would be on the wrong end of it. So credit to you for thinking
- 33:10about betting this. But yeah, I don't want any part
- 33:12of this at all. I mean, like I said, Oregon's
- 33:14only win against the team of the winning record is Northwestern,
- 33:17I believe. I mean, like, who would they
- 33:19really be? I mean, if Gronowski can only
- 33:23suck maybe half the game, you know this would be a potential
- 33:27money line. Sprinkle here on Iowa for me.
- 33:29But. Break up the salt.
- 33:32Yeah, no salt here. Can't do it.
- 33:35Ah, your boys. I always put your boys in here
- 33:37because I know you love to rant. They're getting only a point and
- 33:411/2 at Clemson, total of 56 1/2. I just think this game could
- 33:46probably go over because you know, these defense looking they
- 33:49have any idea what they're doing.
- 33:50But what do you think? Yeah, if, well, if the defense I
- 33:53played last week shows up, it could be the under.
- 33:56I don't know if they can do it two weeks in a row.
- 33:58I like that they finally won and Norvell gets a week off the hot
- 34:01seat. Hopefully that continues in the
- 34:04minority here. I hope they keep him.
- 34:07I'll touch on that. Probably next week there'll be
- 34:09another show coming out. But yeah, I'll, I'll just roll
- 34:14with my boys. I'll take Florida State, I'll
- 34:15take the point and a half and I'll take the under.
- 34:19I'll give you both right there. All right.
- 34:22LSU Speaking of, will we see a bump in performance due to a
- 34:27coach being fired, getting 10 points going to Alabama total of
- 34:3249 1/2. What do you think?
- 34:37I wish for the interim they would have brought back Coach O
- 34:39for this game. Bull Tigers.
- 34:41It's cool, but getting 10 at Alabama, Alabama's been good
- 34:49since the loss. So 49 1/2 too.
- 34:54That's juicy. These line makers are good, I
- 34:57got to tell you that. That's why they make the big
- 34:59bucks. Yeah, I'm.
- 35:00Going to pass on this one. This real lean towards Lane the
- 35:02points with Alabama here. Yeah, I've heard a lot of people
- 35:06buying into the coach bump in a good way for LSU, but can't
- 35:14like, I know, yeah, usually during the season you have a
- 35:16stinker. Alabama had there's Week 1.
- 35:18I kind of feel like there's another one coming, but I don't
- 35:24know if this is it. I it's not like LSU was really
- 35:27good beforehand. I think they've had a couple
- 35:29defensive players that are not playing here.
- 35:31I thought I read somewhere Harold Perkins was not going to
- 35:33play, which would be a big loss if that's the case.
- 35:36But yeah, I don't want anything to do with this game.
- 35:38But I would lean Bama but not not enough to to make a bet and
- 35:43the last one the Dylan the Patrick Mahomless Nebraska
- 35:46Cornhuskers getting a point and 1/2 at UCLAI would I would
- 35:54Nebraska this all day long man I'd I mean UCLA is still pretty
- 35:59bad as Riola that important to this team?
- 36:06He might be. I guess we'll find out, but.
- 36:10Yeah, I mean leaning towards over actually just with I think
- 36:15they're both not really that good on defense either, but
- 36:17maybe a little. But yeah, I'm going to pass on
- 36:20this one. I'm surprised no lane kipping
- 36:23games here. You didn't give me a chance to
- 36:24pass on any of those. Well, Old Miss is playing the
- 36:28Citadel I believe, so there's really no I don't even know if
- 36:34there's a spread out for that, but I'm sure whatever it is,
- 36:36it's at least it's at least in the 40s.
- 36:38So I didn't figure that was relevant enough to make the
- 36:40list. Yeah, I'm passing on this one.
- 36:44Yeah, Nebraska are nothing for me, man, but we'll see.
- 36:47All right, let's recap all. Right.
- 36:51Well. We're undefeated.
- 36:53Yeah. I'll run through his real quick
- 36:55here. He's tonight he's he's back.
- 36:59He was 5 and O all his games were the under last week.
- 37:01So he is he's rolling with the under hair.
- 37:04He's got Thursday. For tonight, he's got UTSA and
- 37:07South Florida under 67 1/2, Temple Army under 46 1/2, Navy
- 37:14and Notre Dame under 55 1/2 and Colorado, West Virginia.
- 37:19Wow, what an exciting game that won't be under 54 1/2.
- 37:27Tim, recap your picks, baby. Oh they got, they got my 2
- 37:30winners this week at Toledo over Northern Illinois by 14 1/2 and
- 37:35I got the overnight game 41 1/2. I have 3 bets on two games I've
- 37:40got Friday I got Houston got then the money line over UCF and
- 37:45I also have the over of 47 1/2 on that game.
- 37:48And also Friday night, Tulane and Memphis, I got the over of
- 37:5255 1/2. All right, matching was Betty.
- 37:56Betty good to me, at least for the first week.
- 37:59I have nothing tonight or tomorrow, but Saturday I do have
- 38:02Vanderbilt lane 6 1/2 over Auburn and using a Bet MGM
- 38:05profit boost for a lane 3 over Kentucky and a little bit of a
- 38:10plus money. Thanks, Dan.
- 38:11Nice. Yeah.
