- 0:15Speaker 1: Aary and Brian power with us, and let's start right
- 0:18Speaker 1: off the bat with you. Bri, how was your college madness?
- 0:22Speaker 1: How was the last four days?
- 0:25Speaker 2: We eked out a winning record?
- 0:27Speaker 3: Feels like it was, you know, take a big body blow,
- 0:30Speaker 3: land one back on the books, six and five.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Overall, I was very happy. At least you guys know that.
- 0:37Speaker 3: I take it as a sense of personal pride to
- 0:39Speaker 3: be on the big upset always. I did have Iowa
- 0:42Speaker 3: yesterday against Florida. That was a nice way to close
- 0:45Speaker 3: the weekend. Lost my five percent, which sucked obviously on Friday.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Take a winning week considering how the month had started
- 0:53Speaker 3: so and looking forward to this sweet sixteen, which you know,
- 0:57Speaker 3: I know everyone complains about no upsets, but this is
- 0:59Speaker 3: gonna be a great sixteen present Joe that we've got
- 1:02Speaker 3: coming in the beginnings.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Duran area, how did you make out this weekend?
- 1:07Speaker 4: Well, President, tournament has gone great. Twelve and six up
- 1:11Speaker 4: twelve units here since Thursday in March Madness. Doing great
- 1:16Speaker 4: in the NIT as well. But of course we lost
- 1:20Speaker 4: our five percent last night because I don't even know
- 1:24Speaker 4: what the hell Texas Tech was doing there.
- 1:27Speaker 5: That was outstanding.
- 1:28Speaker 4: But when you let a team grab every friggin rebound
- 1:31Speaker 4: on the mankind and they shoot ninety percent from three,
- 1:34Speaker 4: I guess you're gonna have a long day. But it's
- 1:36Speaker 4: been a very profitable NIT and March Madness here, so
- 1:43Speaker 4: I will take that in the long run, because ultimately
- 1:46Speaker 4: that's what it's all about.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I too had a winning start, barely my five percent
- 1:53Speaker 1: was what carried me over the top. Bri, you don't
- 1:57Speaker 1: define Iowa over Florida's an upset because I know you
- 1:59Speaker 1: said there were no upsets, so that's not an upset
- 2:02Speaker 1: for you.
- 2:02Speaker 3: No, I said that was I generally speaking, there were
- 2:06Speaker 3: no upsets, but no I had I had Iowa yesterday.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I mean.
- 2:10Speaker 3: But before that, I mean, obviously, all if you went
- 2:13Speaker 3: on social media, all everyone was saying was, oh, there's
- 2:15Speaker 3: no upsets all.
- 2:16Speaker 2: What happened to the upsets? All everyone was doing for
- 2:19Speaker 2: three days?
- 2:20Speaker 3: We finally did get one, though, obviously, like you said
- 2:22Speaker 3: late Sunday, and I was glad I was on it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Yeah, big one, nice said, nice call, guys, let's get
- 2:27Speaker 1: into making some money.
- 2:29Speaker 4: That's not I mean again the favorites thirty nine and
- 2:33Speaker 4: nine straight up and twenty seven and nineteen against the number.
- 2:37Speaker 4: It's been as chalky a tournament, just like it was
- 2:41Speaker 4: last year. The idea and I don't think there's a
- 2:44Speaker 4: mid major left. Is there so much for the Cinderella alive?
- 2:47Speaker 4: And while because yeah, no, it's just the big boys
- 2:50Speaker 4: left ready to roll now.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Yeah, all Power five conference teams in the Sweet sixteen, Joe,
- 2:56Speaker 3: not a single team outside the Power five conferences. I
- 2:59Speaker 3: discussed it actually in the Morning Wager. Can I throw
- 3:01Speaker 3: you guys some talking points? Actually, obviously, I think look
- 3:07Speaker 3: nil on the transfer portal obviously have contributed to the
- 3:09Speaker 3: lack of upsets, But I think it's it's kind of
- 3:12Speaker 3: a lazy answer just to say that's all it is.
- 3:15Speaker 3: The bottom line is and we had talked about this
- 3:17Speaker 3: on the show. I know I talked about in a
- 3:19Speaker 3: Morning Wager was in on. I think I brought it
- 3:20Speaker 3: up here as well. On the less there were a
- 3:22Speaker 3: lot of upsets at the mid major level in the
- 3:25Speaker 3: conference tournament, so we were not necessarily getting the best
- 3:29Speaker 3: of the best from the mid majors. As a matter
- 3:30Speaker 3: of fact, there were only two teams guys, two mid majors,
- 3:34Speaker 3: I should say that could say they were regular season
- 3:37Speaker 3: champions of their league and were in the NCAA Tournament
- 3:40Speaker 3: last year. Those were high Point and Troy high Point
- 3:43Speaker 3: was the only mid major, the only to win as.
- 3:46Speaker 2: A matter of fact, in the first round.
- 3:48Speaker 3: And then something I retweeted yesterday is the Committee's just
- 3:51Speaker 3: better with seeding now, the metrics that are at their disposal, Joe.
- 3:57Speaker 3: They remember we used to have twelve seeds favored over
- 4:00Speaker 3: fives and eleven seeds over sixes, and we would just
- 4:03Speaker 3: rub our hands together and say, oh yeah, the public's
- 4:05Speaker 3: gonna fall for this, and they're gonna take the higher
- 4:07Speaker 3: seed team.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see that very much anymore.
- 4:11Speaker 2: You see these teams correctly.
- 4:13Speaker 4: We're just never going you know, every maybe now in
- 4:17Speaker 4: a blue moon, you'll get a Sweet sixteen from a
- 4:20Speaker 4: mid major, but those the likelihood I think of that
- 4:24Speaker 4: happening now with how top heavy conferences are, and when
- 4:29Speaker 4: you know money listen just ask Kentucky. Money is not
- 4:32Speaker 4: buying you a championship. That's twenty two million dollars pissed
- 4:36Speaker 4: right down the drain there and you get bounced out
- 4:39Speaker 4: by a team that didn't even have their best player
- 4:42Speaker 4: available yesterday. But for the most part, the teams that remain,
- 4:47Speaker 4: if you looked in the books, I would bet prays
- 4:51Speaker 4: that those are probably the sixteen top nil funded teams
- 4:56Speaker 4: in the country here, and that reality is not going
- 4:59Speaker 4: anywhere time soon. Oh it's mine time. We're now we're miming.
- 5:06Speaker 4: I don't, well, there we go.
- 5:08Speaker 5: I don't.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with it.
- 5:10Speaker 5: So it is what it is.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I you know, I don't.
- 5:12Speaker 5: I don't think.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the goal should be to create
- 5:18Speaker 1: parody between five hundred teams. I think the goals should
- 5:21Speaker 1: be to get these.
- 5:21Speaker 5: After the holiday points.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Yep, solid, I'm totally good with that. Any early go ahead, Brian,
- 5:29Speaker 1: what did you want to say?
- 5:31Speaker 5: Say?
- 5:31Speaker 3: It's interesting we did get for an eighteenth consecutive year
- 5:35Speaker 3: a double digit seed in the sweet sixteen.
- 5:38Speaker 2: But hold on, hold on, Joe, I'm getting there. I'm
- 5:42Speaker 2: gonna all together. Third year, thirty year in a row.
- 5:47Speaker 3: It's only one double digit seed in the Sweet sixteen,
- 5:49Speaker 3: and third year in a row. That double digit seed.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Joe is from where a power five conference Arkansas last year,
- 5:57Speaker 3: NC State two years ago. So guys, if you are
- 6:00Speaker 3: looking file this away for twenty twenty seven and beyond.
- 6:03Speaker 3: If you are looking for that double digit seed to
- 6:06Speaker 3: make a run of the Sweet sixteen, look at the
- 6:08Speaker 3: first four. Look at a power five team that is
- 6:12Speaker 3: a double digit seed as opposed to the mid majors.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I think that is going to be the way of
- 6:16Speaker 3: the future.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Shout out mount bless too, by the way, for once
- 6:21Speaker 4: again being terrible.
- 6:23Speaker 5: Yes, Mountain West, shout out to them.
- 6:27Speaker 3: He still only had one, and he still only had
- 6:30Speaker 3: We still only had one this year, though, Joe, because
- 6:32Speaker 3: like I mean, how many times in the last ten
- 6:34Speaker 3: to twenty years we're oh, this is the year for
- 6:36Speaker 3: the Mountain West.
- 6:37Speaker 2: What a deep league this is gonna be.
- 6:38Speaker 3: They're going to show up And they always thought I
- 6:40Speaker 3: was glad they only got one team in. They only
- 6:43Speaker 3: deserved one team in.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Great this year, Well, as let's do a quick look ahead.
- 6:48Speaker 1: We got some fairly a big favorites Perdue minus seven.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You got Arizona minus eight and a half, Duke minus
- 6:58Speaker 1: six and a half, miss Michigan minus.
- 7:01Speaker 5: Ten and a half.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Anything jump out to you, Brian Power on any any
- 7:07Speaker 1: of those games or any other game you see early.
- 7:10Speaker 3: So Joe mentioned Alabama shooting last night. It was absolutely preposterous.
- 7:15Speaker 3: One would imagine it is going to come back down
- 7:18Speaker 3: earth next game. They had a game last year, Joe,
- 7:20Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong when they beat EYU. I
- 7:23Speaker 3: think that they shot the lights out and next game
- 7:25Speaker 3: came back down to Earth.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to look that up. I'm just going
- 7:28Speaker 2: off the top of my head as I think about it.
- 7:30Speaker 3: But I like Michigan's path to the final four. Right now,
- 7:34Speaker 3: you mentioned Iowa State thing without Jefferson, Joe, they're a
- 7:38Speaker 3: double digit favorite against Alabama and then and look president
- 7:43Speaker 3: Joe I said before the tournament. I liked Arizona. I
- 7:45Speaker 3: thought there's a lot of value on them to win
- 7:47Speaker 3: the national championship. But they might be laying too many
- 7:49Speaker 3: here to Arkansas, a very good Arkansas team. So that's
- 7:54Speaker 3: I guess my initial impression here the Sweet sixteen lines.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Look at some of these totals, Prez too, well, you
- 8:00Speaker 4: see how somebody I mean, these are some and I
- 8:03Speaker 4: think maybe Saint John's and Duke might be the lowest
- 8:06Speaker 4: of them all when the game is said and done.
- 8:10Speaker 1: One sixty seven and a half Arkansas Arizona.
- 8:15Speaker 5: That's good.
- 8:16Speaker 4: But look at these one thirty fives with Iowa Nebraska
- 8:19Speaker 4: and under one hundred and forty points. And I still
- 8:23Speaker 4: think Duke and Saint John's is going to be the
- 8:25Speaker 4: heavyweight fight of all heavyweight fights where that one is
- 8:28Speaker 4: going to be first one to sixty five wins. And
- 8:32Speaker 4: that's what that feels like. There, So a lot of
- 8:34Speaker 4: low totals I think coming in was the big initial look.
- 8:38Speaker 5: I wonder how much lower some of these are going
- 8:41Speaker 5: to go.
- 8:41Speaker 4: I mean Tennessee and Iowa State have both played at
- 8:44Speaker 4: faster paces this year, both have turnover. You know, Tennessee's
- 8:48Speaker 4: got a turnover problem. Is that number going to get
- 8:51Speaker 4: too low to a one.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Thirty eight right now? One thirty eight and a half.
- 8:54Speaker 4: So some of these totals are a little bit interesting
- 8:57Speaker 4: as well there bp.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Yeah, something to up is a lot of times we
- 9:01Speaker 3: see not a lot, but a fair amount of times
- 9:03Speaker 3: we've seen the past some of these regional semifinals take
- 9:05Speaker 3: place in these big cavernous stadiums, Joe and Press. That's
- 9:10Speaker 3: not the case this year. It's every correct me if
- 9:12Speaker 3: I'm wrong, Joe. All of these Sweet sixteen venues are
- 9:16Speaker 3: NBA arena. Well, San Jose's an NHL arena, but you
- 9:20Speaker 3: get the drink right. You're looking at the Rockets Arena,
- 9:23Speaker 3: the San Jose Sharks Arena, where the Capitals and Wizards
- 9:26Speaker 3: play in DC, and then obviously the United Center is
- 9:29Speaker 3: where the Chicago Bulls play.
- 9:31Speaker 5: MGM Grand Arena too. Huh. That's oh yeah, no, sorry,
- 9:35Speaker 5: that's that's gonna be the.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Women's Crown, just the crown, the crown.
- 9:40Speaker 4: But I'm looking forward, and we still got a couple
- 9:43Speaker 4: of uh, you know, we still got the Nit Press
- 9:45Speaker 4: as well, and some other randomness happening. So yeah, there's
- 9:50Speaker 4: still a lot of college basketball to be played here
- 9:52Speaker 4: coming up.
- 9:54Speaker 1: N IT tomorrow, Telsa, wich A, US State, Saint Joe's,
- 9:58Speaker 1: Joseph's vers New Mexico.
- 10:01Speaker 5: Let's keep the.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Show moving, boys. I got a ski day ahead of
- 10:04Speaker 1: mere our Harlay of the day. There's only one NHL
- 10:09Speaker 1: game going, and I like the Ottawa Senators in a
- 10:12Speaker 1: regulation to get it done. Over the New York Rangers.
- 10:16Speaker 1: No NHL rundown today, only one game and that's the play, Brian,
- 10:20Speaker 1: what do you like?
- 10:22Speaker 3: Let's go over to thirty one in Raptors Jazz. I
- 10:26Speaker 3: think the Raptors have a bounce back game offensively after
- 10:29Speaker 3: scoring only ninety eight last night and lost to Phoenix.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Utah Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the league. Guys,
- 10:36Speaker 3: But what else does Utah have besides the worst defensive
- 10:39Speaker 3: rating in the league. Well, they average one hundred and
- 10:40Speaker 3: twenty one points per game at home, which is second
- 10:43Speaker 3: most of the league. If they get anywhere, If Utah
- 10:46Speaker 3: gets anywhere close to their season average one hundred and
- 10:48Speaker 3: twenty one points per game, this one's flying over because
- 10:51Speaker 3: Utah is a double digit dog. So give me the
- 10:54Speaker 3: over there in Toronto and Utah. Little Canadian flavor for
- 10:58Speaker 3: you there.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Pres Thanks, They're appreciated.
- 11:01Speaker 5: Yes, that's good stuff. Yeah.
- 11:04Speaker 4: Why is Golden State a favorite over anybody is beyond me,
- 11:08Speaker 4: But they are tonight against Dallas in Dallas, and Dallas
- 11:12Speaker 4: has been a little feisty and I got no problem
- 11:15Speaker 4: backing him as a home dog here tonight because Golden
- 11:18Speaker 4: State they're hoping Steph Curry comes back for what reason.
- 11:21Speaker 4: I have no idea why Steph Curry would come back,
- 11:23Speaker 4: but he won't be back for this game, and feels
- 11:27Speaker 4: like maybe Dallas and company might have a shot at
- 11:31Speaker 4: the outright up.
- 11:32Speaker 5: State if Golden State wins.
- 11:33Speaker 4: By the way, this is going to be a shocker.
- 11:36Speaker 4: They're going to eliminate Dallas from playoff intention, which is amazing.
- 11:41Speaker 4: It took this long for Dallas to actually be ruled out.
- 11:45Speaker 4: That tells you how bad some of these teams really are.
- 11:48Speaker 4: That only eleven games left in the season and now
- 11:51Speaker 4: Dallas is actually officially eliminated from the postseason.
- 11:56Speaker 1: I'm going out on a limit saying Dallas eliminated themselves
- 12:00Speaker 1: long time ago. Yeah, predictive markets. Bitcoin is up seventy thousand,
- 12:06Speaker 1: five hundred right now. We've had a a surge of
- 12:09Speaker 1: twenty six one hundred in the last twenty four hours.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Where are we going here, Joe? What are our numbers?
- 12:17Speaker 1: I say, up and over seventy thousand, and five hundred
- 12:21Speaker 1: and fifty.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Forty one cents to the over there any chance we
- 12:26Speaker 4: get to over seventy thousand, eight hundred press.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're gonna have a nice I think
- 12:33Speaker 1: we're gonna have so momentum today. I think we get
- 12:35Speaker 1: I think we get over seventy one. But the official
- 12:38Speaker 1: bet is seventy thousand and five fifty.
- 12:41Speaker 4: That's it, forty actually forty cents right now, you can
- 12:44Speaker 4: you can hop on in with that one there, PRESS,
- 12:47Speaker 4: so not a bad way to look at it, And
- 12:50Speaker 4: of course now would be a good time to take
- 12:52Speaker 4: a look at some of these future markets here PRESS
- 12:55Speaker 4: when it comes to, of course college basketball. These are
- 12:58Speaker 4: the updated numbers that we're in to Sweet sixteen, So BP,
- 13:03Speaker 4: Arizona is your favorite here the top trading in around
- 13:07Speaker 4: twenty two cents, Michigan right around the same price, Duke
- 13:11Speaker 4: eighteen cents, Houston eleven cents, and then you know, you
- 13:15Speaker 4: start getting into some of these interesting numbers with Illinois, Purdue,
- 13:20Speaker 4: Iowa State, yukon all single prices here obviously chalk with
- 13:27Speaker 4: Arizona and Michigan up at the top, but I don't know,
- 13:29Speaker 4: there seems and again, we don't need these teams to
- 13:33Speaker 4: actually win it all.
- 13:34Speaker 5: We just need them to get to the.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Final four and to the final there BP, and we're
- 13:39Speaker 4: gonna get a hell of a lot better price than
- 13:41Speaker 4: what we're seeing here right now.
- 13:43Speaker 3: No, yeah, you look at the top of the market there. Joe,
- 13:47Speaker 3: going back to what I said earlier, I think Michigan,
- 13:49Speaker 3: when you compare just Arizona, Michigan, Duke, I think Michigan's
- 13:53Speaker 3: the best value of those three. You look at the
- 13:55Speaker 3: respective paths forward to the final four. I mean, Michigan's
- 13:59Speaker 3: a ten is a double digit favored over against over
- 14:02Speaker 3: Arkansas or Party against Alabama, and then they get the
- 14:05Speaker 3: winner of Tennessee Iowa State. I think that's demonstrably easier
- 14:09Speaker 3: than what is in front of Arizona and Duke. You
- 14:12Speaker 3: mentioned Duke the heavyweight fight with Saint John's. Then they
- 14:14Speaker 3: get the winner of Yukon Michigan State. Arizona's got a
- 14:17Speaker 3: very tough Sweet sixty matchup against Arkansas, and then they
- 14:21Speaker 3: would probably run into Purdue, Joe and the Elita. I
- 14:25Speaker 3: think if you look beyond those top three teams, I
- 14:29Speaker 3: think Purdue might be the best value of the bunch,
- 14:34Speaker 3: Like Perdue against Texas and the sweets to win.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Seven cents, I mean, think about a VP if they
- 14:39Speaker 4: win two more games. Yeah, yet that seven cents is
- 14:43Speaker 4: going to be a whole looking a whole lot different
- 14:46Speaker 4: in that spot there. So by low and B first,
- 14:49Speaker 4: that's kind of the best way to look at it there.
- 14:52Speaker 5: So I'm kind of with you.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Listen, Iowa State might very well be getting back Jefferson.
- 14:58Speaker 5: He swears he's.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Going to be ready to play coming up this this
- 15:02Speaker 4: next game. You know, Iowa State is also an interesting
- 15:07Speaker 4: look here. You know, you get those kinds of single
- 15:11Speaker 4: digit prices six seven cents, and we only need them
- 15:14Speaker 4: to watch when another game or two here and you're
- 15:17Speaker 4: making money. That's what makes the predictive markets so much fun.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Is I don't need Iowa State to win any I
- 15:23Speaker 4: just need to win another game, and we're gonna make
- 15:26Speaker 4: money there. Mine time we're back to Miami.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Sorry, guys, my foot I got so much going on here.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I was gonna point that out too, Joe. But out
- 15:35Speaker 1: of the top grouping there.
- 15:36Speaker 5: I like Duke.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I think Duke has some value there, and and I
- 15:41Speaker 1: and and look, any one of those favorites get through,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and they're all you're gonna make my mon one of
- 15:47Speaker 1: them exactly mean literally, you know you look at these
- 15:52Speaker 1: double digits. You know you've got Michigan at minus ten
- 15:54Speaker 1: and a half. Well, if they get through that, you
- 15:56Speaker 1: made money.
- 15:57Speaker 4: Yes, so yeah, they're all the biggest favorites, even I mean,
- 16:02Speaker 4: Duke isn't that big a favorite, but the I mean
- 16:04Speaker 4: al Arizona and Michigan are certainly. But again, we just
- 16:08Speaker 4: need them to win. I mean winning you're in right,
- 16:11Speaker 4: what side of the bracket is Duke on there? Bp
- 16:15Speaker 4: they're on the They're on the east side there, right
- 16:17Speaker 4: on their they're on the left side.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Rather, I mean, Joe, look at Joe. Look at Purdue here.
- 16:23Speaker 5: I know.
- 16:25Speaker 1: They may be Texas and that seven is twenty.
- 16:30Speaker 5: That's crazy. I mean, that's just absolutely crazy when you
- 16:33Speaker 5: think about it. I don't know.
- 16:36Speaker 4: I think there's some opportunities on this board here to
- 16:39Speaker 4: invest and get the hell out.
- 16:41Speaker 1: It almost feels like if you take Yukon and Michigan State,
- 16:45Speaker 1: you're gonna make money just on whoever wins that game.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Well, you've got Yukon is on the same side as
- 16:52Speaker 4: what Duke and Saint John's right, Yes, so's I'm kind
- 16:59Speaker 4: of with you on that side. I think that side
- 17:01Speaker 4: is interesting, right because Duke is going to take on
- 17:04Speaker 4: the Johnnies. Now, if Duke wins, Duke is likely I
- 17:07Speaker 4: think Yukon is going to be in the past, and
- 17:11Speaker 4: then you can bet both of those right now. And
- 17:14Speaker 4: I I I'm kind of with you. I think both
- 17:18Speaker 4: if they both win, I think you can cash out
- 17:20Speaker 4: on both Duke and Yukon here before you even get
- 17:24Speaker 4: to them playing one another on that side, unless I'm
- 17:26Speaker 4: missing another game in between.
- 17:28Speaker 5: BP No.
- 17:29Speaker 3: And you know a team that we have not brought
- 17:31Speaker 3: up that's on this list, and people may be staring
- 17:33Speaker 3: at his Houston Houston. Obviously it's not on campus, No,
- 17:38Speaker 3: but in Houston.
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's in Houston. It's a hot skip and a jump.
- 17:42Speaker 3: I know it's a tough matchup they have with Illinois
- 17:44Speaker 3: here in sixteen, but here's the thing.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Houston, Illinois.
- 17:49Speaker 3: All due respect to Nebraska and Iowa, I feel that Houston,
- 17:53Speaker 3: Illinois is the true regional final there.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Wever wins, it will be a big favorite the Elite.
- 18:01Speaker 5: YEP, love it, guys, hit that hit that like button.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Subscribed to our channel if you've never watched the show.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Every Monday, the three of Us, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

- 18:20Speaker 1: Let's start with you.
- 18:21Speaker 5: What do you have to promote?
- 18:23Speaker 3: We have one NBA play up, great situation that one
- 18:27Speaker 3: underdog is in on Monday's slate, I mentioned yesterday we
- 18:30Speaker 3: capped a winning week in the n Cuba Tournament with
- 18:33Speaker 3: a nice outright win on Iowa. I think you know
- 18:36Speaker 3: we want to take the points here tonight in the
- 18:38Speaker 3: NBA asident Joe, but maybe we don't need them, so
- 18:41Speaker 3: it'll be a buzz slash BP. I'm on a thirty
- 18:44Speaker 3: nine and twenty NBA run by the way sixty six percent,
- 18:47Speaker 3: So that's where you.
- 18:48Speaker 6: Go, Joe, I got yeah, go ahead, Joe, No, No,
- 18:54Speaker 6: well well done again. I got guys, I got nothing
- 18:58Speaker 6: business wise for today at one NBA play I'm passing
- 19:01Speaker 6: in the NHL, Joe and Airy, what do you got
- 19:05Speaker 6: going for the clients?
- 19:06Speaker 4: Locked and loaded four percent, NBA top play up and
- 19:10Speaker 4: ready to roll here. I think I'm kind of in
- 19:13Speaker 4: the same ballpark with BP, because it is a very
- 19:18Speaker 4: much a barking dog situation here tonight, which I think
- 19:22Speaker 4: the NBA Tonight Press could see our fair share of
- 19:26Speaker 4: just that, a whole lot of barking dogs so keep
- 19:29Speaker 4: an eye on that one, guys, available over at wager.
- 19:32Speaker 5: Talk dot com.
- 19:32Speaker 4: And I already I'm already locked into two sweet sixteen
- 19:37Speaker 4: plays that you can also get over at wager talk
- 19:39Speaker 4: dot com.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Right live on air.
- 19:42Speaker 1: You want to handle the rest, no NHL rundown, you
- 19:45Speaker 1: hang out with Joe to the NBA rundown and MLB
- 19:48Speaker 1: Opening Day and all the hell out of here.
- 19:50Speaker 5: Look at that.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I never know what's going to happen on this show. Okay,
- 19:55Speaker 2: all right, all right, Joe, you and.
- 19:57Speaker 4: Me, all right, so get him. Let's just get him
- 20:02Speaker 4: the hell out of here. BP, So we are good
- 20:04Speaker 4: to go. We you and I will run down each
- 20:07Speaker 4: of these games here in the NBA.
- 20:10Speaker 5: I'll throw them at you.
- 20:11Speaker 4: And you tell me whether or not you want to lady,
- 20:14Speaker 4: four touchdowns with some of these spreads, which are just
- 20:17Speaker 4: absolutely absurd, I'm laughing.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Was that was that a choice?
- 20:23Speaker 5: Or was like, yeah, that's correct.
- 20:25Speaker 4: You have no choice here at this point, so you
- 20:28Speaker 4: just yeah, you just stay right there, BP, and we'll
- 20:31Speaker 4: get a going there for it. So all right, you're
- 20:34Speaker 4: ready to come on? Here we go, Here we go,
- 20:36Speaker 4: come on, let's go NBA rundown. How about Atlanta and Memphis. Anyway,
- 20:41Speaker 4: Memphis keeps this thing close. It feels like an over
- 20:45Speaker 4: at two forty one though, any which way you cut it,
- 20:48Speaker 4: how about you?
- 20:49Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the way the markets. I don't want to
- 20:51Speaker 3: lay fourteen with Atlanta. This is a sneazy pass.
- 20:53Speaker 2: I keep waiting. I keep waiting for Atlanta to stubb.
- 20:55Speaker 5: It's toll.
- 20:56Speaker 2: They lost that one game to Houston. I don't know.
- 20:58Speaker 3: I mean the Hawk actually going to cool off. It's
- 21:01Speaker 3: the Hawks, for God's sake. Mark Zo hates the Hawk.
- 21:04Speaker 5: I agree.
- 21:05Speaker 4: The Lakers in Detroit the only other game of interest here. No,
- 21:08Speaker 4: Luca is not suspended after his sixteenth you know technical there,
- 21:14Speaker 4: but they're red hot? Are we stepping in front of
- 21:17Speaker 4: a Lakers team here tonight? This also feels like maybe
- 21:20Speaker 4: we get a bit of an under in this spot.
- 21:23Speaker 4: Detroit got to show me they can beat a West
- 21:26Speaker 4: Coast team before I start betting on them, especially without Cad.
- 21:29Speaker 5: What do you think?
- 21:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I get no Kate Cunningham for the Pistons, but
- 21:33Speaker 3: they are ten and two. Ats Joe as a dog
- 21:36Speaker 3: this year, Zenno and I did make the case in
- 21:37Speaker 3: the morning wager. We liked to it would be Pistons
- 21:40Speaker 3: are passed. I'm not a believer in the Lakers. They're
- 21:42Speaker 3: the sixth best team in the Western Conference.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Could be a mirage, but anytime you got luka, you
- 21:47Speaker 4: got a shot. Indiana Orlando Orlando is terrible. Indiana is
- 21:51Speaker 4: about to lose what sixteen straight? I think they've lost
- 21:54Speaker 4: or this is going to be sixteen awful there? But
- 21:58Speaker 4: can we really trust Orlando win by double digits?
- 22:02Speaker 5: No? I did.
- 22:03Speaker 2: It's the same handicap as Atlanta, Memphis.
- 22:05Speaker 5: No thank you?
- 22:06Speaker 3: Where I have I mean, you have to ask yourself. Guys,
- 22:09Speaker 3: these teams that are just rotting corpses, No thank you.
- 22:12Speaker 2: I don't want to bet Indiana.
- 22:14Speaker 5: No, they're awful there.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Oklahoma City and Philadelphia sixteen. I have no idea who's
- 22:19Speaker 4: playing for Philadelphia, so any Deers it won't be embi'd
- 22:25Speaker 4: and we won't see Maxie until the postseason.
- 22:27Speaker 5: So what, I don't know. What do you do here?
- 22:30Speaker 3: Of all those teams scrambling between five and ten in
- 22:32Speaker 3: the East, JOW Philadelphia is clearly the worst in my opinion.
- 22:35Speaker 3: This is again though it's very similar to Memphis, Atlanta, Indiana, Orlando.
- 22:38Speaker 3: I'm not going to take a corpse, but I don't
- 22:40Speaker 3: want to lay this many points either.
- 22:41Speaker 4: Chicago's got a big rest advantage over Houston. I don't
- 22:44Speaker 4: know if that matters Houston laying eight. I do not
- 22:47Speaker 4: trust Houston. Chicago in clear tank mode, but I still
- 22:52Speaker 4: don't trust Houston a lay that kind of number.
- 22:53Speaker 5: Here.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Houston the fewest double digit wins among the contenders in
- 22:57Speaker 3: the West. Joe, and you mentioned the rest edge, just
- 22:59Speaker 3: to drive that point home for those who may not have,
- 23:01Speaker 3: you know, a matchup page opener, don't know it. The
- 23:04Speaker 3: Bulls have had three days off, the Rockets are playing
- 23:06Speaker 3: their third game in four nights.
- 23:08Speaker 5: There you go.
- 23:09Speaker 2: You can only take the dog there.
- 23:11Speaker 4: No, all right, Well, you talked to Utah, Toronto, I
- 23:14Speaker 4: talk Golden State, Dallas. Nobody really cares about Brooklyn or Portland.
- 23:18Speaker 4: So that leaves us the Clippers taking on Milwaukee here.
- 23:23Speaker 4: A lot of question marks on who's playing who's not.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Kawhi is still questionable. Mtharne is still out, but it
- 23:30Speaker 4: looks like Collins is in. So for the most part,
- 23:33Speaker 4: as long as Darius Garland is in for the Clippers here,
- 23:37Speaker 4: I don't think they'll have a problem. But it does
- 23:39Speaker 4: feel the market is heading to the under here. I'd
- 23:42Speaker 4: be weary of an under with how fast the Clippers
- 23:46Speaker 4: are playing now with this new look.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Yeah again, I hate to sell like a broken record,
- 23:51Speaker 3: but look, guys, you don't have to play every game.
- 23:52Speaker 2: It's it's the NBA and Monday.
- 23:54Speaker 3: You've just been sitting on your couch watching again CBAA
- 23:56Speaker 3: for four streat days.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Guys.
- 23:58Speaker 3: This is just like all those other games. It's a
- 24:00Speaker 3: double digit favorite that he would assume.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Is going to work.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Who wants to lay this kind of numb.
- 24:04Speaker 5: I agree nobody.
- 24:06Speaker 4: By the way, just in Jalen Suggs out tonight four
- 24:09Speaker 4: or Lando. I don't know if that changes anything here,
- 24:13Speaker 4: but they're still I'm still not laying twelve and a
- 24:14Speaker 4: half for them in any way.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Shape were playing the Pacers, I'm not playing the Pacers.
- 24:19Speaker 4: And oh Miami, and we forgot Miami San Antonio. By
- 24:22Speaker 4: the way, tonight was the other big game. Norm Pal
- 24:25Speaker 4: has just been upgraded and so is Stephen Castle, so
- 24:29Speaker 4: it looks like both teams will have everybody available to him.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Miami trying to stay out of that playing game, and
- 24:36Speaker 4: that total highest on a board two forty two and
- 24:38Speaker 4: a half, and that may not be high enough there, BP.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Miami the highest scoring home team in the NBA. Earlier
- 24:45Speaker 3: I mentioned Utah's number two, Miami is the only one
- 24:47Speaker 3: ahead of them. They average one hundred and twenty four
- 24:49Speaker 3: points per game at home.
- 24:50Speaker 4: Show unbelievable there, all right, BP, So the pres left
- 24:55Speaker 4: us with I don't know what the hell he left
- 24:57Speaker 4: us with, but I understand we for that. We also
- 25:02Speaker 4: have Major League Baseball Opening Day coming up here on Wednesday,
- 25:06Speaker 4: believe it or not. Hope you have your Netflix account
- 25:09Speaker 4: setting ready to go, because that's the only way you're
- 25:10Speaker 4: gonna be able to watch the game. But the Yankees
- 25:13Speaker 4: are in San Francisco taking on the Giants, freed against Web,
- 25:19Speaker 4: and you'd be hard pressed getting me to do anything,
- 25:22Speaker 4: especially early on, especially in a ball park. Then look
- 25:26Speaker 4: at anything. I'm on the under in the first five.
- 25:29Speaker 4: I don't give a rip if you can get a four.
- 25:32Speaker 4: I don't trust the offenses. I certainly don't trust the
- 25:35Speaker 4: offense of the Giants, and I do think both pitchers
- 25:39Speaker 4: will be pumped up on a Wednesday to get the
- 25:42Speaker 4: season going. It's San Francisco to Bay Area at night.
- 25:46Speaker 4: Marine Layer under only for me there bp what were
- 25:50Speaker 4: you thinking on this opening night of baseball?
- 25:54Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that old adage pitchers are always ahead of
- 25:58Speaker 3: the hitters this time of year, Joe, because you brought
- 26:01Speaker 3: up the first five under, and I'm looking to see
- 26:03Speaker 3: if we have a number on that yet it.
- 26:08Speaker 5: Was I believe, was it not?
- 26:12Speaker 3: Go?
- 26:12Speaker 5: We have fun first half? Five? If you can believe that?
- 26:20Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 26:21Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, that's and it's just all high. Hell,
- 26:25Speaker 5: four and a half is what we're looking at.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Sure, why not?
- 26:29Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I look, the public's gonna be
- 26:32Speaker 3: all over the Yankees at this short price, obviously, you know,
- 26:36Speaker 3: I'm sure, But yeah, you take the first five under, Joe,
- 26:40Speaker 3: Aaron Boone's poor decision making, then kind of out of
- 26:43Speaker 3: the equation. I agree, assume Freed is going to go
- 26:46Speaker 3: all five.
- 26:46Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know what the bullpen of the
- 26:49Speaker 5: Yankees is.
- 26:50Speaker 4: I mean, we still got some question marks there, but
- 26:53Speaker 4: we know that Devin Williams is now gone, so is
- 26:56Speaker 4: Weaver is gone, which makes well that makes what Bednard there?
- 27:03Speaker 4: I guess the closer and you got Cruise, you got Doval,
- 27:06Speaker 4: the former Giant, and I want nothing to do with
- 27:09Speaker 4: any of those guys. So I'll take my chances with
- 27:12Speaker 4: the lefty free keeping it in the ballpark. And Logan
- 27:14Speaker 4: Web already pitched for Team USA. He's already he's already
- 27:19Speaker 4: been in competitive games and ready to go here. So
- 27:21Speaker 4: I got no problem looking at the under in that one.
- 27:25Speaker 5: It should be.
- 27:26Speaker 4: And by the way, telefolks, what you got major League Baseball?
- 27:29Speaker 4: Where are you looking? You got any win totals? You
- 27:32Speaker 4: got anything ready to go? When do you start diving
- 27:34Speaker 4: into Major League Baseball?
- 27:35Speaker 5: VP?
- 27:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been busy diving into it already obviously, of
- 27:41Speaker 3: course Opening Day Wednesday night, and then a lot of
- 27:43Speaker 3: teams get in action Thursday and Friday. Rob Man for
- 27:47Speaker 3: the right Sweet sixteen. But anyway, yeah, Joe, you talk.
- 27:51Speaker 3: I was hoping you're gonna ask you about futures and whatnot.
- 27:54Speaker 3: I like that place on the Tigers is still too
- 27:57Speaker 3: short to win the Central.
- 27:58Speaker 5: I agree.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Winning the Central if it's not the Tigers, I mean,
- 28:02Speaker 3: barring some sort of catastrophic injury in the Motor City. Similarly,
- 28:06Speaker 3: Seattle's winning the AL West, and I think the New
- 28:08Speaker 3: York Mets are going to win the eight NL East
- 28:11Speaker 3: sleeper teams potentially in the American League, Tampa Bay over
- 28:15Speaker 3: their win total, Kansas City over their win total, Texas
- 28:18Speaker 3: over their win total.
- 28:19Speaker 2: I think at least two of those three are hit, Joe.
- 28:23Speaker 4: I got a very interesting one too, and I'm glad
- 28:25Speaker 4: you brought that up, BP, and let me see if
- 28:26Speaker 4: I can find it quick, because you just reminded me
- 28:30Speaker 4: of one which I thought was hysterical in the prediction markets.
- 28:35Speaker 4: They had a one of the markets is who will
- 28:38Speaker 4: have the longest losing streak this season? And all the
- 28:44Speaker 4: prices were are you ready to this? For the Nats,
- 28:47Speaker 4: for the Rockies, and for the White Sox, and every
- 28:51Speaker 4: one of them was around ten to fourteen cents. As
- 28:55Speaker 4: sure as I'm sitting here, it's going to be one
- 28:57Speaker 4: of those three teams that is going to have the
- 28:59Speaker 4: longest losing right, And I'd be careful with Colorado, But boy,
- 29:04Speaker 4: the Nats are not a good team this year at all.
- 29:08Speaker 4: It feels like one of those three is going to
- 29:11Speaker 4: have that longest losing She's gonna be hard for them
- 29:15Speaker 4: to rack up a whole lot of consecutive wins.
- 29:17Speaker 5: Feels like a lot more losses.
- 29:20Speaker 2: You know what, I don't think it'll be the White Sox.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I think I have some light.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I think they've got some life in them in the division.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. One of their I said
- 29:28Speaker 3: that I love the Tigers win that division, and I
- 29:29Speaker 3: kind of like the Royals. Over two teams that I
- 29:33Speaker 3: think could be worse than anticipated, maybe a lot worse,
- 29:37Speaker 3: are the Guardians and the Twins for a team, they've
- 29:43Speaker 3: got a tough ownership situation.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Joe, you talk about a team that could go on
- 29:47Speaker 2: a long losing streak.
- 29:49Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if Minnesota was a team that
- 29:52Speaker 3: threw in the towel at the trade deadline and maybe
- 29:54Speaker 3: just completely crater. Remember what they did at the deadline
- 29:57Speaker 3: last years, gave away everybody. Yeah, so I mean that
- 30:00Speaker 3: a bad baseball team in the Twin Cities.
- 30:02Speaker 5: Yes, I agree.
- 30:03Speaker 4: And also I think Milwaukee to miss the playoffs is
- 30:06Speaker 4: not a bad look either, because I don't know what
- 30:09Speaker 4: they're doing.
- 30:11Speaker 5: Is I don't know.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Do we like Pittsburgh? Everybody in their mother likes Pittsburgh
- 30:17Speaker 3: overs here? Is that too trendy for you?
- 30:20Speaker 2: Now?
- 30:20Speaker 5: Way too? It's Pittsburgh people.
- 30:22Speaker 4: They've got one of the they got the future shortstop
- 30:25Speaker 4: of Major League Baseball. And they won't even play it
- 30:28Speaker 4: because he hit a buck seventy one. But yet of
- 30:30Speaker 4: the seven hits, four they're still looking for the ball.
- 30:34Speaker 4: The kid is an absolute stud. He's only nineteen. But
- 30:37Speaker 4: at this point, what do you what are you playing for? Pittsburgh?
- 30:40Speaker 4: Bring the kid up, let them at beat an opening days, shortstop,
- 30:44Speaker 4: sell some jerseys and be on with it here. But
- 30:47Speaker 4: it's way too trendy BP to your point right now,
- 30:50Speaker 4: the love for pitt They make a couple of trades
- 30:53Speaker 4: and signings, and now all of a sudden, Pittsburgh's making
- 30:55Speaker 4: a run run at what? What are they making a
- 30:57Speaker 4: run at? Aute? They're gonna win what game? Every what?
- 31:01Speaker 5: Five days? Well, what's gonna happen here?
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul Skeins doesn't pitch every day. It's I'll tell you,
- 31:06Speaker 3: it's a fun ballpark to go to. They let you
- 31:08Speaker 3: walk around, the drink around it. That's always a good times.
- 31:13Speaker 2: I'll recommend.
- 31:14Speaker 3: I'll recommend going to PNC Park, But I got good
- 31:17Speaker 3: conscience recommend pirates overs right now. I think it's just
- 31:20Speaker 3: a little bit too trendy, you know, the National League guy,
- 31:23Speaker 3: so so, I don't know.
- 31:25Speaker 5: Very strange.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure Zeno on the the Morning Wager,
- 31:30Speaker 4: I am sure he's figuring out wades to fade the
- 31:33Speaker 4: Atlanta braves.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Am I close?
- 31:36Speaker 3: I mean you and I may be called into the
- 31:38Speaker 3: rotation sometime soon there that is unodvolvable.
- 31:42Speaker 2: What has happening is to start a rotation?
- 31:44Speaker 3: It's a uh San Francisco's forty nine ers situation. Start
- 31:48Speaker 3: your conspiracy theories. Is there were the trent? What is
- 31:50Speaker 3: that a transmitter or something?
- 31:53Speaker 5: Look?
- 31:53Speaker 2: Start looking? That's insane. How any injuries that rotation has?
- 31:56Speaker 4: And it's March, yeah, and it's only March, and you
- 31:58Speaker 4: know Akuon is getting her by the time we get
- 32:01Speaker 4: to May first, So it's just par for the course
- 32:03Speaker 4: with they about have burned some sage or something in Atlanta.
- 32:06Speaker 4: But it's good to have baseball back and I'm looking
- 32:10Speaker 4: very forward to it their BP. So you and Zeno
- 32:14Speaker 4: Morning Wager for can catch you what Monday through Friday
- 32:17Speaker 4: right over on the Wager Talk YouTube channel.

- 32:33Speaker 3: first week in March. Madness, man, I mean he absolutely
- 32:35Speaker 3: still that he both of you who bought the two
- 32:38Speaker 3: for one package. He kind of carried me a little bit.

- 33:00Speaker 4: It is a pleasure looking forward to speaking baseball with

- 33:08Speaker 4: to short change us once more and get out to
- 33:10Speaker 4: the skill slows.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question? Shoot, you know, did

- 33:24Speaker 3: you guys are maybe both I mean press only very
- 33:27Speaker 3: pull here. I didn't know that was an option that
- 33:29Speaker 3: you could just say peace out to the show.
- 33:31Speaker 5: You did you know?
- 33:33Speaker 4: Yes, apparently so, But that's okay bybe because that we
- 33:36Speaker 4: just gave the people way more information here in the

- 33:49Speaker 4: compliment you.
- 33:49Speaker 5: It's amazing, are you okay?
- 33:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's well, okay.
