Speaker 1: Yep. Inside, I want to kill myself. We are on
0:05
Speaker 1: Own seven run over the last two days after tonight
0:08
Speaker 1: it was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
0:11
Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
0:15
Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you about that. I
0:17
Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
0:20
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two
0:25
Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Oh four,
0:28
Speaker 1: I have not had a good season. Man with wookends
0:33
Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues, I've
0:37
Speaker 1: reached into pink. Actually, I'm I'm going to burn my
0:41
Speaker 1: browins hat man. I don't know what is going on
0:43
Speaker 1: with the bruins arch hape? Is that what it is?
0:46
Speaker 1: I don't even know it's March ninth, I think who
0:50
Speaker 1: even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
0:53
Speaker 1: I don't even know what data is anymore. Man, back
0:55
Speaker 1: with you after the worst day that I could possibly have,
0:59
Speaker 1: Back with you as I always am until I die
1:03
Speaker 1: at least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not
1:07
Speaker 1: go well for me. Own five the worst month that
1:11
Speaker 1: I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this. I
1:13
Speaker 1: don't know what to even tell you about this anymore. Slump,
1:17
Speaker 1: the slump discontinuous, the slump continues. Somebody fucking kill me, please.
1:23
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
1:25
Speaker 1: other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody? It's
1:34
Speaker 1: towed back with you for better off dead? Wednesday? I
1:39
Speaker 1: never remember what date is, man, Everything's a blura Wednesday, Uh, October?
1:45
Speaker 1: No November fifth? Yeah, oh well, we got to remember
1:48
Speaker 1: the fifth of November. It's Guy Fox Day. Babies, you
1:52
Speaker 1: can I don't know. I can't say. I can't say
1:56
Speaker 1: anything about that day. Go watch V for Debta today
2:00
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm watching the Beetlejuice sequel on Netflix before
2:05
Speaker 1: it's gone from Netflix, so that's what I'm doing, which
2:09
Speaker 1: I actually haven't seen it yet, so I'm like more
2:12
Speaker 1: than halfway through it. It's it's good, I think, dude.
2:17
Speaker 1: There's a lot of unriginality now in Hollywood, which kind
2:20
Speaker 1: of angers me. But some some of these, some of
2:23
Speaker 1: these movies can still hit. It feels like everything's a sequel,
2:26
Speaker 1: everything's a remake. A lot of these things are unnecessary,
2:30
Speaker 1: but that one, I mean, not that bad. Some of
2:34
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. Michael Keaton is still exactly what you
2:38
Speaker 1: expect as Beetlejuice. I mean, he's the main guy. So yeah,
2:43
Speaker 1: we did well on the show yesterday. Three and one.
2:46
Speaker 1: The play that I added late Philadelphia Flyers. We gotta
2:50
Speaker 1: win on that one. A nice underdog win. They're winning
2:53
Speaker 1: the game three to nothing and then they blew the
2:55
Speaker 1: entire lead and they were actually losing four to three.
2:58
Speaker 1: They tied it and then they want up win over time.
3:02
Speaker 1: I mean, any game that goes that way and you
3:05
Speaker 1: have an underdog, especially at that price plus one thirty
3:08
Speaker 1: eight or whatever, I'm pretty sure it's the right side.
3:10
Speaker 1: You can go look at the stats. I think they
3:12
Speaker 1: had more shots, although it seemed like they didn't really
3:14
Speaker 1: win the other statistics, but you give yourself a good
3:17
Speaker 1: chance of winning as an underdog like that, I think
3:20
Speaker 1: it's the right side. So we got the win on that.
3:22
Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes was easy. They won easily against the Rangers.
3:26
Speaker 1: I think it might have been three to nothing or something.
3:28
Speaker 1: I didn't check what the final was, but I'm pretty
3:31
Speaker 1: sure they were just running away with it or skating
3:33
Speaker 1: away with it. We lost on the New York Islanders,
3:36
Speaker 1: but at least that means the Bruins won. I think
3:40
Speaker 1: the Islanders slightly outstated the Bruins in that game. It
3:44
Speaker 1: was kind of a close game back and forth. Islanders
3:48
Speaker 1: had some chances to win. Well. I gave out Islanders
3:50
Speaker 1: in regulation it went into overtime. So if you playing
3:55
Speaker 1: in regulation, as soon as it goes into overtime as
3:57
Speaker 1: a loss anyway, So what can you do but the Bruins.
3:59
Speaker 1: At that point, I'm like, go Bruins because then I
4:02
Speaker 1: don't feel as bad because it's like the full game.
4:05
Speaker 1: Bets would lose as well, so it didn't matter like
4:08
Speaker 1: how I gave it out, and I'm a fan of
4:10
Speaker 1: the Bruins, so I'm like, okay at that point, just
4:12
Speaker 1: let the Bruins win, which they did, so that was
4:15
Speaker 1: a loser on the show Can't Win Them All Man,
4:18
Speaker 1: And then easy win on the NBA game last night
4:20
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors. NBA continues to be quite good for
4:25
Speaker 1: me for the most part, as expected because it is
4:29
Speaker 1: my best betting sport. But easy and win with Toronto yesterday,
4:32
Speaker 1: so that was good. Just I think they won by
4:35
Speaker 1: about eighteen points. It was pretty much never in doubt,
4:38
Speaker 1: dirty sock. What's up, man, thanks for hanging out. You're
4:43
Speaker 1: in California. Wait oh yeah, dude, California. I forgot about that.
4:47
Speaker 1: California is the worst of everything. Dude. They're like basically
4:52
Speaker 1: a communist state. Well, I mean they were leftist, progressive state.
4:55
Speaker 1: But you expect the progressive states to at least have betting,
4:58
Speaker 1: like Massachusetts New York does. Like a lot of the
5:02
Speaker 1: states that don't allow it are the more conservative states.
5:04
Speaker 1: But California is the worst of everything, and they don't
5:07
Speaker 1: allow betting either. It's insane. You could go you could
5:12
Speaker 1: do some offshore betting though, or depending on where you
5:16
Speaker 1: were in California, you could have driven to Las Vegas.
5:19
Speaker 1: That's what people do in California. If they're in southern California,
5:22
Speaker 1: they drive like a couple hours to Las Vegas to
5:25
Speaker 1: make bets for a little bit, or just wherever you
5:30
Speaker 1: are in California, if you just if you can just
5:32
Speaker 1: cross the border into Nevada, then you can make bets.
5:35
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I don't know how close you were
5:37
Speaker 1: to the border. No, yeah, California has nothing. The best
5:42
Speaker 1: states as far as betting are like the most books
5:46
Speaker 1: that you can get are Colorado has a ton? Illinois
5:50
Speaker 1: I believe has a lot. You're in Colorado, right, so
5:54
Speaker 1: you have probably the best. You have probably the most
5:57
Speaker 1: books available. I think probably they're what like about a
6:00
Speaker 1: dozen in Colorado. Maybe I don't know. I haven't done
6:04
Speaker 1: I don't think I've done any betting in Colorado. I've
6:06
Speaker 1: been to Colorado, but I don't think I was doing
6:08
Speaker 1: any betting when I was there. Yeah, you're in San France.
6:13
Speaker 1: You could you could take take a quick flight to Reno.
6:17
Speaker 1: You can get from San Franzo Reno on a plane
6:19
Speaker 1: in like under an hour. I've done it before. Well,
6:22
Speaker 1: I've done the reverse. I went from Reno to San
6:24
Speaker 1: Francisco on the way back from the Libertarian convention, and
6:30
Speaker 1: then San Francisco decided to change my flight from one
6:34
Speaker 1: end because San Francisco's airport is like a five pointed
6:37
Speaker 1: star basically not six. That would be a lot worse. No,
6:42
Speaker 1: But like my gate was because I had to fly
6:45
Speaker 1: I was flying a red Eye back to Boston, and
6:47
Speaker 1: there was like, uh, my gate was like down one end.
6:51
Speaker 1: Like well, the gate where I landed was like right
6:53
Speaker 1: near where my gate was supposed to be for the
6:56
Speaker 1: red Eye flight. So I was like, okay, cool, Like
6:57
Speaker 1: I'm in the same terminal. My red eye flight is
6:59
Speaker 1: down the into this one. Then with like twenty minutes ago,
7:03
Speaker 1: they changed my gate to the very end of one
7:05
Speaker 1: of the other points in the star. So I'm like
7:07
Speaker 1: running through the San Francisco Airport. I made it, but
7:11
Speaker 1: then my flight wound up being delayed anyway, although I
7:13
Speaker 1: would have made it anyway, but man, that's annoying running
7:17
Speaker 1: through the San Francisco Airport. I was booking it. Man,
7:21
Speaker 1: I only had a backpack because I travel light. But
7:23
Speaker 1: I was able to make it like the longest possible
7:26
Speaker 1: distance through the San Francisco Airport or whatever terminal that was.
7:30
Speaker 1: I was able to do it in probably seven minutes
7:33
Speaker 1: or so. So at least there was that that wasn't
7:35
Speaker 1: too bad. Jeffrey, what's up man, Thanks for hanging out.
7:41
Speaker 1: We can get into today. I mean, there were a
7:42
Speaker 1: few things that I kind of threw out to mention yesterday, well,
7:47
Speaker 1: just about college basketball in general. So Duke, you know,
7:52
Speaker 1: it was the big game yesterday. Duke did win and
7:54
Speaker 1: cover yesterday, and Texas was kind of in that game,
7:57
Speaker 1: like they were only down five with I think several
8:00
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game, but they fell short in
8:02
Speaker 1: the end. I think they lost by fifteen or so.
8:04
Speaker 1: One thing that I completely forgot, though, is that Texas
8:07
Speaker 1: has Sean Miller as their coach now. He came over
8:12
Speaker 1: from Xavier. He used to be the coach at Arizona,
8:15
Speaker 1: if people remember that way back in the day. I
8:17
Speaker 1: believe he was the one at Arizona who sweat through
8:20
Speaker 1: his shirt. By the way, let me know how my
8:22
Speaker 1: audio is because I took my dynamite stick out again.
8:25
Speaker 1: The dynamite stick is really just overkill, so I took
8:28
Speaker 1: that out and I cranked the game up on my
8:30
Speaker 1: scarlet against Let me know if this is all right,
8:33
Speaker 1: But yeah, Sean Miller is the coach at Texas now
8:36
Speaker 1: because they decided to get rid of don't even remember
8:39
Speaker 1: who their coach was last year. But Miller. I mean,
8:42
Speaker 1: he brought over some of his guys from Xavier, so
8:44
Speaker 1: they're gonna probably change their style a little bit. But
8:47
Speaker 1: Texas wasn't really totally out of the realm of playing
8:51
Speaker 1: kind of a similar style anyway. It also seemed like
8:53
Speaker 1: Texas was like always playing Xavier in the tournament like
8:57
Speaker 1: they played in the playing game. I think last year
8:59
Speaker 1: and the year before that they met up in the tournament,
9:02
Speaker 1: so that was interesting. So I forgot about that, and
9:05
Speaker 1: I also forgot Drake after last year. They brought up
9:09
Speaker 1: Ben McCollum from Double Double A from Division two and
9:13
Speaker 1: he brought all his guys up and they actually did
9:14
Speaker 1: really well just because they had so much chemistry. I
9:17
Speaker 1: think that Drake team basically was like a one year thing.
9:19
Speaker 1: They're gone. McCollum. I don't know if he took any
9:22
Speaker 1: of his players still with them, but he actually went
9:24
Speaker 1: to Iowa, so that's somebody keep him mind. McCollum. I
9:27
Speaker 1: didn't realize what was going on with that. I think
9:28
Speaker 1: Drake will probably continue to play like a slow down
9:31
Speaker 1: style of game though, But McCollum went to Iowa, which
9:34
Speaker 1: is very weird because Iowa, under like McCaffrey, Iowa was
9:38
Speaker 1: playing like really really fast. That's what they were known for,
9:42
Speaker 1: extremely fast tempo. And it's gonna be a complete change
9:45
Speaker 1: with Iowa with McCollum there, because he's gonna slow the
9:48
Speaker 1: pace way down. It's gonna it's gonna be pretty interesting.
9:51
Speaker 1: So just things I was gonna point out that I
9:53
Speaker 1: completely forgot about. You're in Delaware, okay, but yeah, you're
9:59
Speaker 1: from the Philly air I believe Jeffriesly four and three
10:02
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I will say the Bulls. I don't
10:06
Speaker 1: know what number you got on the Bulls, but the
10:10
Speaker 1: only point where the Bulls are ever even leading in
10:12
Speaker 1: that game was was literally the final score. Like Philadelphia
10:16
Speaker 1: completely blew that game. Philadelphia was up I think double
10:20
Speaker 1: digits by the end of the I think they were
10:21
Speaker 1: up eighteen at the end of the first quarter, and
10:24
Speaker 1: they were up nineteen at halftime. Philadelphia, there's no way
10:27
Speaker 1: they should have lost that game. It almost seemed like
10:29
Speaker 1: it was rigged. Mister Pinsey, what's up man? Thank you,
10:33
Speaker 1: thanks for hanging out again. Yeah, yesterday it was good
10:36
Speaker 1: three and one. I mean, obviously, I'm happy about that.
10:39
Speaker 1: Trying to get back on track here. Every day is
10:41
Speaker 1: a different animal. Though. We'll get to today in a second.
10:44
Speaker 1: I don't want to take too long to get into it.
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out two college basketball players today, so
10:49
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into college basketball for the first time.
10:51
Speaker 1: I have one NBA play. I do not like the
10:54
Speaker 1: hockey board. It's a small board. And college football, there's
10:58
Speaker 1: more maction and it's just it is ugly, man. So
11:02
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything with that. Restore Christendom, what's up?
11:05
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out, and Beid is a problem. Yeah,
11:11
Speaker 1: I mean one point five, so you actually got the
11:14
Speaker 1: win on that because it went off at two and
11:15
Speaker 1: a half. But yeah, like I said, I recommended against
11:20
Speaker 1: the Bulls yesterday. It was not a play for me,
11:22
Speaker 1: but Bulls and Packers. I do like the Packers. That
11:27
Speaker 1: might wind up being a play for me. As I
11:30
Speaker 1: sort of have alluded to over a few recent shows.
11:33
Speaker 1: I agree with the Packers. I did not agree with
11:35
Speaker 1: the Bulls yesterday. All Right, college basketball, I mean, we
11:39
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot that I really want to
11:41
Speaker 1: talk about here, Although what I will say is we
11:43
Speaker 1: start getting into situations where now you have some games
11:47
Speaker 1: where you have a team that already has a game
11:48
Speaker 1: under their belt versus a team that's coming in cold.
11:51
Speaker 1: And I can kind of see that going both ways,
11:53
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when a team has already
11:55
Speaker 1: played a game, they kind of get that pressure off
11:57
Speaker 1: and now they're used to it, especially if they won
12:00
Speaker 1: and it was like not a seriously important game now,
12:03
Speaker 1: they kind of have like momentum a little bit if
12:05
Speaker 1: it was just like an easy win or something like that.
12:07
Speaker 1: So sometimes the team that already has a game under
12:11
Speaker 1: their belt and it was an easy win, sometimes that's
12:13
Speaker 1: a positive. But I don't necessarily want to fade teams
12:16
Speaker 1: that are like in their home opener or anything like
12:18
Speaker 1: that either. So some different situations, but those don't really
12:21
Speaker 1: factor into the situations that I'm gonna be looking at today.
12:25
Speaker 1: We do have one ranked team playing today, which is Creighton,
12:28
Speaker 1: ranked twenty third in the country against celt Dakota. I
12:31
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot to say about that game.
12:33
Speaker 1: Creighton is up to a twenty nine point favorite, So
12:36
Speaker 1: I mean, Creighton, they've been a force in the Big
12:39
Speaker 1: East for a while now, they're one of the better
12:41
Speaker 1: teams in the Big East. Still, they haven't played yet,
12:43
Speaker 1: but they do have Gonzaga coming up next lethough they
12:46
Speaker 1: have almost a week between now and then, so I
12:49
Speaker 1: don't know if they're really gonna look ahead to Gonzaga
12:51
Speaker 1: or not. It is possible that they do. Celt Dakota,
12:57
Speaker 1: I believe, did already play but they lost. But yeah,
13:00
Speaker 1: they played against Utah Tech in just a game nobody
13:04
Speaker 1: gave a shit about. So soelth Dakota does at least
13:06
Speaker 1: have a game under their belt. It was a close game.
13:08
Speaker 1: I think it was a game of a close line
13:09
Speaker 1: though too, so I don't know. I just figured I
13:12
Speaker 1: would briefly mention that game. I'm also gonna mention Eastern
13:16
Speaker 1: Washington and Loyal and Merrymount. I'm not going to make
13:18
Speaker 1: a play on this, but I think it's a little
13:20
Speaker 1: bit interesting. Eastern Washington looks like they played UCLA really close.
13:25
Speaker 1: They just went to UCLA two days ago. I think, yeah,
13:28
Speaker 1: on Monday, number twelve in the country Ucla, Eastern Washington
13:33
Speaker 1: came within six points of UCLA. So it looks like
13:36
Speaker 1: a spot where maybe you want to fade Eastern Washington
13:40
Speaker 1: coming off of that. And they do actually play another
13:42
Speaker 1: bigger conference team next. They have Colorado up on Saturday,
13:46
Speaker 1: so that's going to be another big game for them.
13:48
Speaker 1: So this does kind of look like a sandwich spot
13:50
Speaker 1: where they have to go to Loyal and Marymount. And
13:52
Speaker 1: if you're a team that's somewhat unfamiliar with playing in
13:55
Speaker 1: Loyal and Mary Matt that's a bit more difficult to do.
13:58
Speaker 1: Eastern Washington's in the Big Sky, so I don't know
14:01
Speaker 1: that they usually go and play at Loyal and Marymount
14:04
Speaker 1: who's in the WCC. So kind of a weird spot
14:09
Speaker 1: for for Eastern Washington here. Loyal and Marymunt put up
14:13
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty seven points in their first game,
14:15
Speaker 1: so that might make them look a little bit too good,
14:17
Speaker 1: although that was against a non Division one team Lincoln California.
14:21
Speaker 1: Whatever the hell that is Eastern Washington. Though, if you
14:25
Speaker 1: dig into this box score a little bit, this game
14:27
Speaker 1: was not close, like, even though it looks like it was,
14:31
Speaker 1: they obviously covered. UCLA was a twenty nine and a
14:33
Speaker 1: half point favorite, So it looks like Eastern Washington really
14:37
Speaker 1: good performance. Looks like you might want to fade them.
14:39
Speaker 1: By the way, I hate the ESPN now defaults to
14:41
Speaker 1: the win probability chart. It's like, what the fuck? Like,
14:44
Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here. Yeah, UCLA was like a
14:47
Speaker 1: above a ninety percent favorite to win the game the
14:49
Speaker 1: entire time. No, I want to see the game flow there.
14:52
Speaker 1: It is so Eastern Washington was close early, but then
14:55
Speaker 1: they just they were losing by a lot due they
14:58
Speaker 1: were losing by almost twenty points later, the game, they
15:00
Speaker 1: were down double digits, so the fact that they cut
15:03
Speaker 1: it to six late was like pretty cosmetic. They were
15:06
Speaker 1: still down double digits in the final minute, so it's
15:08
Speaker 1: not like they were really that close to winning against UCLA,
15:11
Speaker 1: but it was still a big game. They still didn't
15:14
Speaker 1: go away. So I would lead to loyal and merrymount
15:17
Speaker 1: in this game, and the money has certainly shown up
15:19
Speaker 1: on them. They're already up from a seven point favorite
15:21
Speaker 1: to an eight and a half point favorite. Seven is
15:24
Speaker 1: a key number in basketball because teams stop intentionally fouling
15:27
Speaker 1: at that point. I would still lean that way. I
15:31
Speaker 1: would lay the points. Probably even an eight and a half,
15:33
Speaker 1: I would still do it. If I was gonna play
15:35
Speaker 1: that game. That one's not gonna make my card, although
15:37
Speaker 1: I am gonna have two other plays. I don't know
15:41
Speaker 1: if there's really anything else that I wanted to talk
15:43
Speaker 1: about as far as today, I don't think there are
15:46
Speaker 1: any of the ranked teams playing today. With the Indiana
15:48
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're playing today. They're a solid program.
15:52
Speaker 1: Usually they're just not ranked right now, but they have
15:54
Speaker 1: a very weak opponent in Alabama A and M. So whatever,
15:59
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything else totally in dressing except
16:02
Speaker 1: for the games. Then I'm about to give up plays
16:04
Speaker 1: on King of the Court. I don't even know, do
16:08
Speaker 1: I know what that I'm not even sure what that is.
16:10
Speaker 1: It's something to do with basketball, but hell yeah, you
16:12
Speaker 1: get bonus bets. Hell yeah. Just don't let draft Kings.
16:18
Speaker 1: Don't let them start limiting. Don't let them limit you, man,
16:20
Speaker 1: because with winning betters, they might do that. Second in
16:26
Speaker 1: the first week, tie, tie for first the second week.
16:29
Speaker 1: I don't even really know what that is really like,
16:31
Speaker 1: if I use Draft Kings, I'm just using it for
16:34
Speaker 1: you know, making bets basically just single one off bets,
16:37
Speaker 1: like I've used some of their like free bets and
16:40
Speaker 1: stuff obviously, But other than that, the magic with Baine, yeah,
16:44
Speaker 1: they picked up Baane, dude, I think the Orlando magic.
16:47
Speaker 1: It's just that they completely changed. They're trying to change
16:51
Speaker 1: their entire their entire personality. I don't think it's Bane specifically,
16:56
Speaker 1: but like you go from a team that's a physical
16:58
Speaker 1: defensive team with some really like physical guards, like big guards,
17:03
Speaker 1: and then you go no, or big guards slash forwards,
17:06
Speaker 1: and then you go, no, we're gonna start playing up
17:08
Speaker 1: tempo now, like that's a dumb idea. I don't know
17:10
Speaker 1: why they're doing that, although I think they're starting to
17:12
Speaker 1: play a little bit better. By the way, with Orlando.
17:15
Speaker 1: I did also forget to mention they were playing Atlanta
17:18
Speaker 1: last time. I'm pretty sure I forgot to mention that Atlanta.
17:20
Speaker 1: I believe was in an injured player spot because Trey
17:23
Speaker 1: Young got hurt. I mean, what else is new. It
17:25
Speaker 1: seems like he's hurt a lot, but I didn't even
17:28
Speaker 1: realize that was the case when I looked at that
17:30
Speaker 1: game yesterday. So Trey Young is out, So just something
17:32
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. I think he's gonna miss a
17:35
Speaker 1: bit of time. Oh okay, yeah, you picked the player
17:39
Speaker 1: on Tuesday that as the most points plus rebounds plus assists. Gotcha?
17:45
Speaker 1: But who is the Bucks coach? Now? Do they? They
17:47
Speaker 1: got rid of Doc Rivers, right, I don't know. I
17:50
Speaker 1: have no idea. Well, yeah, I mean the back to
17:52
Speaker 1: back was definitely part of the handicap, even though it
17:55
Speaker 1: was they the books tried to factor them into the line,
17:58
Speaker 1: although I said it wasn't enough. Like everything about that
18:00
Speaker 1: spot was just like it's set up really well for
18:03
Speaker 1: Toronto in my opinion, So I had to make that
18:06
Speaker 1: a play live. Been in college basketball totals, it seems like, yeah,
18:11
Speaker 1: the books early on, especially with the new college of
18:14
Speaker 1: basketball landscape, the books seem to yeah, be struggling to
18:20
Speaker 1: kind of catch up to it. Willy Green? U wait,
18:26
Speaker 1: is that is that the new Bucks coach? I don't
18:27
Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is, to be honest,
18:29
Speaker 1: I don't even know who the Bucks coach is right now?
18:31
Speaker 1: Is that who that is? And they're calling to fire him?
18:33
Speaker 1: The Bucks are off to The Bucks are off to
18:35
Speaker 1: a good start, though, well, yeah, the Thunder of the
18:39
Speaker 1: best team in the league. They're really deep, there's no
18:41
Speaker 1: question about that. Like, they have some injuries right now
18:43
Speaker 1: and it still doesn't even matter Thunder. Yeah. Oh, Willy
18:47
Speaker 1: Green is the Pelicans coach? Yeah, I would not fire
18:49
Speaker 1: him right now. They finally got to win the Pelicans.
18:52
Speaker 1: They had a really, really brutal schedule to start the season,
18:55
Speaker 1: and Zion Williams keeps Zion Williamson keeps getting hurt, so
18:58
Speaker 1: it's like, what can you do. Williamson was actually out,
19:01
Speaker 1: That's another thing I forgot to mention. Williamson was out
19:04
Speaker 1: in the first Williamson was out in the first win
19:07
Speaker 1: that the Pelicans got, so it was actually an injured
19:09
Speaker 1: player spot for the Pelicans there, so something I also, dude,
19:12
Speaker 1: I can't keep track of all these NBA injuries, Like
19:15
Speaker 1: so many guys are in and out of the lineup,
19:17
Speaker 1: and sometimes you don't notice it in the line because,
19:19
Speaker 1: like the Pelicans are just always a big underdog, so
19:22
Speaker 1: it went kind of unnoticed. But they won that game.
19:26
Speaker 1: So uh, A white girl went missing from Willie Green's house.
19:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look that up. I am. I'm
19:34
Speaker 1: a true crime afficionado. Actually I've never heard of that
19:37
Speaker 1: case though, but probably because the media doesn't want you
19:42
Speaker 1: to know about that in Philly. That is pretty interesting,
19:46
Speaker 1: miss dude. I like missing missing person's cases are like
19:49
Speaker 1: kind of they're my favorite thing. I know that sounds
19:52
Speaker 1: like morbid or whatever, but I like mystery and I
19:54
Speaker 1: like trying to like see if I can like grasp
19:58
Speaker 1: it in my mind and try to like figure it
20:00
Speaker 1: out and solve it in my mind. I don't know,
20:01
Speaker 1: it's just the way my mind works. So yeah, I
20:04
Speaker 1: mean I like that stuff and just other like unsolved cases,
20:08
Speaker 1: that's kind of my thing. I'm interested in it all. Right,
20:11
Speaker 1: let's go to the College of Basketball plays here. This
20:13
Speaker 1: is this is already the best bets segment. Fuck it,
20:18
Speaker 1: one of these. You're gonna think I'm out of my mind,
20:21
Speaker 1: possibly this first one up. But I've done I mean,
20:24
Speaker 1: sometimes in these early season games, I do lay gigantic favorites,
20:29
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm gonna do here. Georgia minus thirty
20:31
Speaker 1: one and a half. And I believe Georgia might have
20:34
Speaker 1: been one of the teams that I did actually lay
20:35
Speaker 1: a huge number with last year, and I think it
20:38
Speaker 1: maybe was a winner. And I don't remember. I think
20:40
Speaker 1: I had Georgia, maybe Florida. I don't know one of
20:43
Speaker 1: those teams I laid like a huge number with early
20:46
Speaker 1: in the season because the spot was good. I like
20:48
Speaker 1: this one, even though I know if you look at
20:50
Speaker 1: it it's a low total. I get it one hundred
20:52
Speaker 1: and forty one and a half, so that makes it
20:54
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. Holy shit, Georgia is already
20:56
Speaker 1: thirty three and a half. I mean, find the best
20:59
Speaker 1: number that you can on this, man, It was literally
21:01
Speaker 1: thirty one and a half like a half hour ago.
21:04
Speaker 1: Georgia is already flying up in the market from thirty
21:07
Speaker 1: to thirty three and a half. These college basketball lines,
21:10
Speaker 1: they get out of control real fast. Man. You gotta
21:13
Speaker 1: try to jump in and get this value. The total
21:17
Speaker 1: is low, yes, which sometimes is gonna make it more
21:19
Speaker 1: difficult for a team to cover a number like this.
21:22
Speaker 1: I know that Georgia, if they're winning by a huge margin,
21:25
Speaker 1: there is the risks that they're gonna just pack it
21:26
Speaker 1: in and give up some garbage time shit. But Maryland
21:30
Speaker 1: Eastern Shore, I mean, they're in a horrible spot. They're
21:33
Speaker 1: also a terrible team, and they're terrible offensively. They're like
21:36
Speaker 1: one of the twenty worst teams in Division one. They're awful.
21:41
Speaker 1: And part of the reason why the total is so
21:42
Speaker 1: low is because Maryland Eastern Shore is excuse me, a
21:46
Speaker 1: slow paced team and they can't score. And Georgia is
21:51
Speaker 1: kind of a mid mid paced team, which ken Bum,
21:55
Speaker 1: you can't really read into these numbers too much right now,
21:57
Speaker 1: But ken Bum does have Maryland or actually the eleventh
22:02
Speaker 1: worst team or twelfth worst team in all of Division one,
22:05
Speaker 1: and he has them as the third worst offense at
22:08
Speaker 1: all of Division one so far, and they're a bottom
22:10
Speaker 1: twenty tempo team as well, so they're slow, and they
22:14
Speaker 1: don't score and that's pretty bad. And their defense is
22:17
Speaker 1: also not good, although defense is their strength relatively for Georgia.
22:24
Speaker 1: Ken Bom has them at thirty six in the country.
22:26
Speaker 1: He has them to one hundred and forty second in
22:28
Speaker 1: tempo right now, and he has them in the top
22:29
Speaker 1: forty in both offense and defense. But again, very very
22:33
Speaker 1: small sample size, so ken Bum's numbers you can't really
22:35
Speaker 1: read into very much this early. I believe he does
22:40
Speaker 1: not have Georgia winning quite by this amount. I think
22:42
Speaker 1: he has them winning by about twenty nine or thirty,
22:45
Speaker 1: which go pay pay for ken Bomb, though I don't
22:47
Speaker 1: want to give out all of his numbers that you
22:49
Speaker 1: have to pay for. Here the numbers here on this
22:51
Speaker 1: main screen you could see for free. But yeah, I
22:55
Speaker 1: recommend buying ken Bum. I mean, it's very inexpensive. It's
22:59
Speaker 1: like a one it's a yearly cost of like thirty
23:01
Speaker 1: bucks or something. I think it used to be like
23:04
Speaker 1: less than twenty two, but whatever. But yeah, Georgia, I
23:09
Speaker 1: mean I think that even though they're kind of a
23:11
Speaker 1: mid tempo team that's sort of in the top half
23:13
Speaker 1: tempo wise, they're a team that could speed this thing up,
23:16
Speaker 1: So that's not gonna be good for Maryland Eastern Shore
23:19
Speaker 1: because they do not want to play at a fast pace,
23:21
Speaker 1: and usually the better team can control the tempo, especially
23:25
Speaker 1: at home, which is what Georgia is here. Maryland Eastern
23:29
Speaker 1: Shore just played Georgia Tech, and Georgia Tech is a
23:33
Speaker 1: slower tempo team at two hundred and eighty fourth th
23:36
Speaker 1: tempo at least early on in the season. But they
23:38
Speaker 1: are definitely a slower team than Georgia And because of
23:42
Speaker 1: Maryland Eastern Shore almost pulling off that ridiculous upset, which
23:47
Speaker 1: would have been kind of unimaginable, I think they were
23:49
Speaker 1: about a twenty eight and a half point underdog there.
23:51
Speaker 1: I think you gotta fade them here, man, I think
23:53
Speaker 1: they're gonna get run out of the building in this one.
23:55
Speaker 1: I mean they went to Georgia tack as twenty eight
23:58
Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs, played this just absurdly low
24:02
Speaker 1: scoring game that I talked about yesterday, took Georgia Tech
24:05
Speaker 1: into overtime, so they had to play an extra period
24:08
Speaker 1: as well. Two days ago almost pulled off this basically
24:11
Speaker 1: unimaginable upset, and now they have to go from that
24:15
Speaker 1: to facing Georgia, which is a step up in class.
24:18
Speaker 1: Georgia obviously better than Georgia Tech. Georgia is also in
24:22
Speaker 1: a better conference as well, So although I know this
24:25
Speaker 1: is a new season and whatever, so these teams aren't
24:27
Speaker 1: really ballots est yet, but I think this has Hangover
24:30
Speaker 1: spot written all over it. Man, it's just a question
24:33
Speaker 1: of whether or not Georgia is gonna take their foot
24:35
Speaker 1: off the gas because this is such a complete mismatch.
24:38
Speaker 1: Georgia should be able to get this thing done. Georgia
24:42
Speaker 1: has already played a game as well, so they're not
24:44
Speaker 1: coming in cold. They had an easy win over Bellerman
24:47
Speaker 1: in their first game, and they actually did win by
24:50
Speaker 1: enough in this game too. They were a twenty three
24:52
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite in this one and they won.
24:54
Speaker 1: They scored over one hundred points, so that's a good
24:56
Speaker 1: sign because they think Bellerman usually kind of gets into
24:59
Speaker 1: like slower tempo games if I'm not mistaken, at least
25:03
Speaker 1: from last year. And Georgia's still score over one hundred
25:06
Speaker 1: against them and won by whatever the hell that is
25:09
Speaker 1: what is at forty five points, so they were able
25:11
Speaker 1: to cover this number by a decent margin here, So
25:14
Speaker 1: that's a decent sign as well. Yeah, we're gonna lay
25:17
Speaker 1: it with Georgia. This is at Athens, Marylandson is sure
25:20
Speaker 1: they have this back to back road slate here in Georgia.
25:24
Speaker 1: You know that the game they got up for was
25:26
Speaker 1: the Georgia Tech game. I mean, there's no question about it.
25:29
Speaker 1: It was the more winnable of the two games at
25:31
Speaker 1: the very least, and they somehow were almost able to
25:33
Speaker 1: do it. And when a team like that that's really
25:36
Speaker 1: really awful almost pulls off an upset that would almost
25:39
Speaker 1: be unheard of and then they have to play again,
25:41
Speaker 1: it is a terrible spot for them. Lay the points
25:43
Speaker 1: with Georgia. Hopefully you can get a decent number on
25:46
Speaker 1: this because that number is getting out of control. And
25:49
Speaker 1: the other play I'm gonna give out in college basketball
25:51
Speaker 1: is you see Davis minus three. Although ken Baum actually,
25:55
Speaker 1: as you see, Davis ranked significantly lower than their opponent
25:59
Speaker 1: here on North dakot To State. But I just think
26:01
Speaker 1: this is a spot playing ken Bomb. I mean again,
26:05
Speaker 1: his numbers mean a little bit less early in the season.
26:07
Speaker 1: I think he actually has you see Davis losing this
26:10
Speaker 1: game outright, So hopefully, because sometimes I don't like to
26:13
Speaker 1: buck Ken bomb Man like to this extent where I'm
26:16
Speaker 1: going against him by multiple points. But the money's coming in,
26:19
Speaker 1: and you see Davis here, they're already up from one
26:22
Speaker 1: and a half to three. The numbers kind of going
26:24
Speaker 1: through the three. They have sixty percent of the tickets
26:26
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the cash on them, So I
26:28
Speaker 1: think the real money is also bucking Ken bom here
26:32
Speaker 1: and going with you see Davis, I like this one
26:35
Speaker 1: on North Dakota State's coming off. I believe pulling off
26:39
Speaker 1: an upset. Let me see, why did I like that? Dude?
26:43
Speaker 1: I looked at this like a little while ago. No,
26:45
Speaker 1: they almost pulled off an upset at Oregon State. My mistake.
26:48
Speaker 1: So yes, they are already on the Pacific Coast. But
26:50
Speaker 1: this is kind of similar to Maryland Eastern Shore where
26:53
Speaker 1: North Dakota State they were playing Oregon State. Now, Oregon
26:56
Speaker 1: States still considered to be like one of the big boys,
26:59
Speaker 1: one of the big comp teams, even though they're in
27:01
Speaker 1: the WCC now in basketball, but they were a former
27:04
Speaker 1: Pac twelve team, So I think that's still a big
27:06
Speaker 1: deal for North Dakota State to go and play Oregon
27:09
Speaker 1: State and they almost pulled off the upset. They were
27:12
Speaker 1: nine and a half point underdogs in Corvallas, and they
27:15
Speaker 1: almost pulled off the upset. Big performance from North Dakota State,
27:18
Speaker 1: and it looks like they lost on like a late
27:21
Speaker 1: layup right at the end of the game. Yeah, with
27:22
Speaker 1: two seconds left, So they almost took this game in overtime.
27:26
Speaker 1: I think North Dakota State is going to be in
27:28
Speaker 1: a bad spot coming off of this. Man Now they
27:29
Speaker 1: have to go face you see Davis, which Davis might
27:33
Speaker 1: be a team that is kind of flying under the
27:35
Speaker 1: radar a little bit. You see, Davis did already get
27:38
Speaker 1: a game out of the way. They played a non
27:40
Speaker 1: Division one team men Low, whoever the hell that is.
27:44
Speaker 1: I'm assuming some California team. You see Davis is able
27:47
Speaker 1: to get an easy win in that game, so they
27:49
Speaker 1: have a little bit of momentum coming into this game.
27:51
Speaker 1: This game will be at home, so it's also kind
27:54
Speaker 1: of an unfamiliar spot these early season games. Remember, these
27:57
Speaker 1: teams have to play road games in these states that
28:00
Speaker 1: they're not used to. That's also usually a little bit
28:03
Speaker 1: extra benefit to the home team in cases like that.
28:07
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll lay the points that you see Davis
28:09
Speaker 1: in this one. I don't like how it sets up
28:11
Speaker 1: for North Dakota State, coming off what I think was
28:13
Speaker 1: their big game to open the season. I think they
28:15
Speaker 1: could be in a bit of a hangover spot here.
28:17
Speaker 1: You see Davis minus three. Those are That's how we're
28:21
Speaker 1: starting out of college basketball slate here for the season.
28:26
Speaker 1: All right, NHL don't love these games today, man, I don't.
28:30
Speaker 1: I'll try to run through these games. Utah at Toronto.
28:34
Speaker 1: Utah is on a back to back. Utah one in
28:38
Speaker 1: overtime yesterday. I mentioned, I think I mentioned I leaned
28:41
Speaker 1: to Utah yesterday. They got the win to kick off
28:44
Speaker 1: the road trip, went into overtime against Buffalo. But they're
28:47
Speaker 1: on a back to back. They're playing a third game
28:49
Speaker 1: in four day's all in different cities, so not exactly
28:52
Speaker 1: an easy spot for them. They're gonna be in a
28:55
Speaker 1: little bit of a fatigue mode. You assume they're gonna
28:58
Speaker 1: use van a check and net this time of a
29:00
Speaker 1: Milka van check has actually been okay for them, So
29:03
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really a big downgrade for Utah.
29:07
Speaker 1: Toronto is the more rested team, though Toronto's coming in
29:11
Speaker 1: here with a record only a little bit above five hundred.
29:14
Speaker 1: I think Toronto is actually probably better than the record looks.
29:17
Speaker 1: Toronto's got a little bit of momentum here after beating
29:20
Speaker 1: both Pennsylvania teams Philly and Pittsburgh. Toronto's now staying at home,
29:24
Speaker 1: and they actually do have one day off, so the
29:27
Speaker 1: rest spot does set up better for them. I don't
29:28
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna use stilars in net again or not.
29:31
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters a great deal for Toronto
29:34
Speaker 1: here spot Uh. To me, it almost sets up a
29:38
Speaker 1: little bit better for Toronto. Although you could argue that
29:41
Speaker 1: Utah got a scare yesterday because they almost lost to Buffalo,
29:46
Speaker 1: which Buffalo is not a great team, But I don't
29:48
Speaker 1: know about that, man. I think Toronto's a little bit
29:50
Speaker 1: under the radar. There's a reason why Toronto's favored even
29:52
Speaker 1: though they have a lesser record than Utah. Right now,
29:55
Speaker 1: the osmakers are telling telling you that Utah is actually
30:01
Speaker 1: not as good as Toronto, although the line has dropped
30:03
Speaker 1: from minus one sixty to minus one fifty on Toronto,
30:06
Speaker 1: so the money's actually coming in in Utah. And I
30:08
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with that. Sixty percent of the tickets
30:11
Speaker 1: on Toronto fifty five percent of the cash coming back
30:13
Speaker 1: in on Utah. I have a very slight opinion on
30:17
Speaker 1: Toronto in this game, but certainly don't love it at all,
30:21
Speaker 1: and I would not want to really buck what the
30:23
Speaker 1: market is doing, so I'm staying away Saint Louis at Washington.
30:27
Speaker 1: This is the closest that I would be to a
30:29
Speaker 1: play here, and I actually disagree with the market in
30:31
Speaker 1: this one too, So I don't love disagreeing with the
30:33
Speaker 1: market man, but I actually leed to Washington in this game.
30:37
Speaker 1: Market is seemingly disagreeing at least now, although it's early,
30:40
Speaker 1: and again in hockey, because there's not a lot of
30:42
Speaker 1: public action in hockey, especially with all these other sports
30:46
Speaker 1: going on. You got to take these numbers with a
30:48
Speaker 1: little bit of a grain of salt because usually, yes,
30:51
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a big disparity between the cash and
30:53
Speaker 1: the tickets, because where the cash is is usually indicative
30:56
Speaker 1: of where the bigger bets are. But I think most
31:01
Speaker 1: of the like percentages that you see here is all
31:04
Speaker 1: professional money almost for hockey, because the public just doesn't
31:07
Speaker 1: get that much involved. So you got to kind of
31:11
Speaker 1: weigh it and like figure out, like what's actually going on, like,
31:13
Speaker 1: how do you read this market here? Although disparity like this,
31:16
Speaker 1: you gotta think it is still actually an indicator that
31:18
Speaker 1: the actual money is coming in on Saint Louis. And
31:21
Speaker 1: we see Washington drop for minus one fifty seven of
31:24
Speaker 1: minus one forty eight on the money line, So it
31:26
Speaker 1: looks like there is actual money on Saint Louis, sixty
31:29
Speaker 1: one percent of the cash on them, seventy percent of
31:31
Speaker 1: tickets on Washington, and not surprised that the public is
31:34
Speaker 1: on Washington because of what they did last year. And
31:36
Speaker 1: Saint Louis has a bad record right now. So in
31:38
Speaker 1: a way, yeah, you could argue what I argued in
31:41
Speaker 1: Saint Louis's last game. You could argue that Saint Louis
31:43
Speaker 1: is not as bad as the record looks. I would
31:45
Speaker 1: agree with that argument, but I don't like the spot
31:48
Speaker 1: for Saint Louis here. They got that win for us
31:51
Speaker 1: against Edmonton last time out, man, so they pulled that off.
31:54
Speaker 1: They had to come back in the game, they were
31:56
Speaker 1: down two to nothing, they came back, that won the game,
31:58
Speaker 1: big win over Edmondon and Man and now they have
32:00
Speaker 1: to fly out to Washington. I think it could be
32:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of a letdown spider for Saint Louis,
32:07
Speaker 1: although you could argue that because they ended that long
32:09
Speaker 1: lost streak. Remember, I'm the streak buster, Streek breaker, baby,
32:13
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try to do it in the NBA
32:15
Speaker 1: today too. Streek breaker for me and for Saint Louis.
32:18
Speaker 1: And sometimes when you do break along law streak like that,
32:21
Speaker 1: it will actually give you momentum moving forward. So that
32:24
Speaker 1: is at least some positive for Saint Louis. Here and
32:27
Speaker 1: starting a road trip, usually you are focused. They'll probably
32:31
Speaker 1: try to be focused on Washington because it is Washington.
32:33
Speaker 1: They're known as a pretty good team. They play Buffalo tomorrow,
32:36
Speaker 1: but you got to think if they're gonna show up
32:38
Speaker 1: with more effort for one of these games, it's probably
32:41
Speaker 1: gonna be the Washington one. The problem is will they
32:43
Speaker 1: get tired by the end of it, because two huge
32:46
Speaker 1: effort games in a row not that easy to do
32:49
Speaker 1: against teams that are both better than Saint Louis. Says.
32:54
Speaker 1: Washington's coming off kind of an ugly loss, and they've
32:56
Speaker 1: had a bunch of days off. They last played on Saturday,
32:59
Speaker 1: and they're also trying to bust their own loss. Streek
33:01
Speaker 1: They've lost four games in a row, with the worst
33:04
Speaker 1: being their last game, losing in a shootout to Buffalo.
33:09
Speaker 1: To me, it does look like kind of a bounce
33:11
Speaker 1: back spot here to Washington, they've had a lot of
33:12
Speaker 1: days off, and when you're losing like that, having days
33:15
Speaker 1: off might actually help you fix some things and work
33:18
Speaker 1: on some things and bust that losing momentum a little bit.
33:21
Speaker 1: So I don't agree with the market in this one.
33:22
Speaker 1: I like Washington in this game, but I'm not gonna
33:26
Speaker 1: make it a play al though I was actually kind
33:27
Speaker 1: of tempted to do it, but I held myself back
33:31
Speaker 1: on that one. Columbus is at Calgary in this game.
33:35
Speaker 1: The money is indicating on Calgary. They're up for minus
33:38
Speaker 1: one h two to minus one fourteen, eighty four percent
33:40
Speaker 1: of the cash on them, seventy seven percent of the
33:42
Speaker 1: tickets on Columbus. Public is not gonna want anything to
33:46
Speaker 1: do with Calgary. I mean, they're one of the worst
33:47
Speaker 1: teams in the NHL this year. I'm pretty sure the
33:49
Speaker 1: record's bad as far as how this sets up, but
33:53
Speaker 1: I don't know because Columbus just lost a four game
33:55
Speaker 1: win streak, and I talk about this sometimes when you
33:57
Speaker 1: lose a win streak, it does hang you over into
34:00
Speaker 1: the next game. And they do have games that are
34:03
Speaker 1: probably bigger games coming up against Vancouver and Edmonton, which
34:08
Speaker 1: Calgary is a team that is gonna get overlooked quite
34:10
Speaker 1: a bit. So Columbus I might agree with the market
34:13
Speaker 1: in this one because I don't really love the spot
34:15
Speaker 1: that they're in, having their winning momentum stop there. They
34:18
Speaker 1: haven't played since Sunday, so they do have a little
34:20
Speaker 1: bit of rest here. But don't really love the spot
34:23
Speaker 1: by the way it sets up for Columbus, and I
34:25
Speaker 1: think Columbus could be a little bit overvalued right now.
34:27
Speaker 1: They're above five hundred right now, there's still a team
34:30
Speaker 1: that I don't think their goaltending is very good. They
34:32
Speaker 1: could definitely score, but it's kind of like last year.
34:35
Speaker 1: I think they're also bad defensively and not very good
34:38
Speaker 1: in the goaltending department. But Columbus is certainly a team
34:42
Speaker 1: that could beat anybody in the league at any given point.
34:44
Speaker 1: I mean, it is the NHL, after all. Columbus almost
34:48
Speaker 1: made the playoffs last year, and it wouldn't shock me
34:50
Speaker 1: if they did make the playoffs this year. But that's
34:53
Speaker 1: kind of where they're at. I think they're a mediocre team.
34:56
Speaker 1: Calgary's bad. But Calgary did just end a lost street
35:00
Speaker 1: theys as they beat Philadelphia last time out on a Sunday,
35:04
Speaker 1: so that can maybe stop there losing momentum. The problem
35:07
Speaker 1: I have with Calgary is they were turning over from
35:09
Speaker 1: a road trip and they went to Eastern Canada and
35:11
Speaker 1: then down to Nashville. It wasn't a long road trip,
35:14
Speaker 1: but they've still been a waste since Tuesday, so it
35:17
Speaker 1: was a four game road trips. They had some rest
35:19
Speaker 1: in the mix in there, but still it is still
35:23
Speaker 1: a road trip or turn spot, and one of over
35:25
Speaker 1: a week. So I don't want to play Calgary either, man,
35:28
Speaker 1: you know me. I mean, there's almost never a situation
35:31
Speaker 1: where gonna be on a team it's a turning home
35:33
Speaker 1: from a road trip like that. I'll probably either fade
35:36
Speaker 1: the more pass on the game. Even though the spot
35:38
Speaker 1: doesn't look great for Columbus here, you could argue the
35:41
Speaker 1: spot's worse for Calgary here, even though they may have
35:44
Speaker 1: ended their losing momentum. The returnover from a road trip
35:47
Speaker 1: is not an easy thing to do. A lot of
35:50
Speaker 1: times you wind up being distracted because you have stuff
35:52
Speaker 1: that needs to get done at home. As I always
35:54
Speaker 1: talk about, that's a real thing. I mean, these guys
35:56
Speaker 1: have families and whatever. Columbus maybe not a team that's
36:00
Speaker 1: gonna completely draw their attention, although with Calgary, I mean,
36:04
Speaker 1: they can't really overlook anybody with the way they've been playing.
36:06
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna stay away the market. Reda saying Calgary.
36:09
Speaker 1: I would actually probably slightly disagree with that one too,
36:13
Speaker 1: just because I think the return home spot is just
36:15
Speaker 1: so bad. But yeah, I don't want to do anything
36:18
Speaker 1: with that game. Blackhawks are playing the Canucks Chicago at Vancouver.
36:23
Speaker 1: Chicago was hot for a little while, but they've cooled
36:25
Speaker 1: off again. They're on a three game losing streak. They're
36:28
Speaker 1: playing a fourth game in the middle of this long
36:30
Speaker 1: road trip here. They've had one day off. You could
36:34
Speaker 1: argue that maybe they're in a little bit of bounce
36:35
Speaker 1: back mode. They're gonna have night back in net here.
36:37
Speaker 1: Who is they're better goalie because they use soder Bloom
36:40
Speaker 1: in their last game. They should be focused on this.
36:43
Speaker 1: I mean it is Vancouver. Vancouver tends to be a
36:46
Speaker 1: team you get up for him. They're coming off a
36:48
Speaker 1: game against Seattle. That's kind of an ugly loss, even
36:50
Speaker 1: though Seattle has been off to a decent start. They're
36:53
Speaker 1: a pretty mediocre team. I think Chicago only is Calgary next.
36:57
Speaker 1: They're not a good team. Although Chicago they've definitely cooled off.
37:01
Speaker 1: They've fallen to like a five hundred record. Vancouver is
37:04
Speaker 1: also at five hundred. Vancouver's are turning over from a
37:07
Speaker 1: road trip, though so not a long road trip. They've
37:10
Speaker 1: been off. They've been away since last Thursday. It was
37:12
Speaker 1: a three game road trip, took them to Saint Louis,
37:15
Speaker 1: Minnesota in Nashville. They actually won two of the three games,
37:19
Speaker 1: both in overtime. Now they're coming back home. I do
37:23
Speaker 1: think the spot is a bit worse for Vancouver here
37:25
Speaker 1: because again it is still a return home spot, not
37:28
Speaker 1: from the longest road trip. But maybe they do overlook
37:30
Speaker 1: Chicago a little bit here. That is possible because Chicago
37:34
Speaker 1: just hasn't been that good recently. The money is coming
37:36
Speaker 1: into Chicago. I do agree with that one. Vancouver down
37:40
Speaker 1: for minus one seventy seven of minus one sixty two
37:43
Speaker 1: on the money line, fifty four percent of the tickets
37:45
Speaker 1: on Vancouver, eighty seven percent of the cash on Chicago.
37:49
Speaker 1: I mean, you could get a little ballsy and maybe
37:53
Speaker 1: maybe take a flyer on the Blackhawks on the money
37:56
Speaker 1: line in this one. I don't mind that idea. I
37:58
Speaker 1: would lean with the market and that one. That's the
38:01
Speaker 1: first of these games where I actually where I actually
38:03
Speaker 1: am in alignment with the market, which usually I don't know.
38:07
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good sign or not
38:08
Speaker 1: for me, But maybe that means Chicago's one of the
38:12
Speaker 1: stronger plays today because I agree with the market on
38:15
Speaker 1: that one. So when all those things line up, I
38:17
Speaker 1: could see that the situation is not that great for Vancouver.
38:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, Chicago, Or if you want to do one
38:22
Speaker 1: of those split bets where you make your own like
38:24
Speaker 1: plus one puck line, that seems okay as well. I
38:28
Speaker 1: think they have a decent shot at winning that game.
38:30
Speaker 1: Chicago does, and then San Jose at Seattle is the
38:33
Speaker 1: last game on the board. Oh man, don't love that one.
38:38
Speaker 1: San Jose ugly team. They're coming off a couple of
38:42
Speaker 1: big overtime games. They're actually coming off a few huge
38:45
Speaker 1: games in a row. They beat New Jersey, they beat
38:49
Speaker 1: Colorado in overtime, then they went into overtime with Detroit
38:53
Speaker 1: on Sunday and they lost in a shootout. Now they
38:55
Speaker 1: have to go up to Seattle for a single game
38:58
Speaker 1: road trip and then they come back home. They pay Winnipeg, Florida.
39:02
Speaker 1: They could overlook Seattle potentially in the spot. Man, I
39:05
Speaker 1: still don't know that Seattle really like draws that much
39:07
Speaker 1: attention from teams, So I do think it's a pretty
39:10
Speaker 1: bad spot for San Jose. A couple of days off
39:13
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know if that's really gonna help
39:16
Speaker 1: them or not. Seattle just busted a two game loss
39:19
Speaker 1: street by beating Chicago and they're staying at home, so
39:22
Speaker 1: they do have a little bit of momentum here. Don't
39:24
Speaker 1: know if there's really any anything to look ahead to,
39:27
Speaker 1: or that they're really gonna be, you know, in a
39:29
Speaker 1: letdown spot or anything like that. Off the Chicago game.
39:31
Speaker 1: This spot to me sets up better for Seattle. So
39:33
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with the market again. In this game,
39:37
Speaker 1: San Jose is eighty three percent of the cash on them,
39:39
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the tickets on Seattle. Seattle's dropped for
39:42
Speaker 1: minus one seventy to minus one fifty nine on the
39:45
Speaker 1: money line, So again I disagree with the market. Don't
39:49
Speaker 1: really understand what's going on here with the market slightly
39:52
Speaker 1: to Seattle for me in that one money line a
39:54
Speaker 1: little bit pricey, So maybe a Seattle and Regulation play
39:58
Speaker 1: on that one. But all those Santos seems to go
40:00
Speaker 1: into overtime quite a bit, so that's a little bit risky.
40:05
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not giving out a play on that,
40:06
Speaker 1: but that's just that's an opinion. Let's go to the
40:10
Speaker 1: NBA A. First up, we have Philadelphia against Cleveland, and
40:13
Speaker 1: this is one of those misleading lines right away because
40:16
Speaker 1: you have Philadelphia at five and two and they've actually
40:19
Speaker 1: been good on the road at three and one. Cleveland
40:21
Speaker 1: is only four and three to start the season. Yet
40:24
Speaker 1: Cleveland's up to a ten point favorite year. So the
40:27
Speaker 1: public's gonna look at this and even though they probably
40:29
Speaker 1: realize Cleveland's the better team, still, they're probably gonna think
40:33
Speaker 1: this number is really really high, and they're gonna have
40:35
Speaker 1: a tendency to want to take the underdog that has
40:38
Speaker 1: the better record. So I would I would disagree with that.
40:41
Speaker 1: I would probably lay the points of the Calves in
40:43
Speaker 1: this one. Sixers. They haven't faced that difficult of a
40:46
Speaker 1: schedule really, and I think they're not really as good
40:49
Speaker 1: as they look. Uh, sixty three percent of the tickets
40:52
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent of the cash on the sixers, So
40:54
Speaker 1: they're like a public road underdog here, which is usually
40:57
Speaker 1: not what you want. If you're laying the points of
40:59
Speaker 1: the calves, know that you're at least putting your money
41:02
Speaker 1: on a good team in this case, so that's not
41:05
Speaker 1: a bad thing. Philadelphia is, of course on a back
41:07
Speaker 1: to back, so that's gonna probably push the line up
41:11
Speaker 1: on Cleveland a little bit. They're actually playing a fourth
41:13
Speaker 1: game in six days, all in different cities, coming off
41:17
Speaker 1: that close call against Chicago where Philadelphia blew the game
41:20
Speaker 1: when it looked like they were gonna beat Chicago all
41:23
Speaker 1: the way yesterday, they had to lead the entire way
41:25
Speaker 1: except for the final score, where they gave up a
41:28
Speaker 1: game winning three pointer I think with like a couple
41:30
Speaker 1: seconds left. So yeah, Philadelphia should have won that game,
41:34
Speaker 1: and now they have to turn around and play again
41:36
Speaker 1: right away. Yes, they should be focused on Cleveland. But
41:40
Speaker 1: who's the best team Philadelphia has even played this year?
41:43
Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue that it's the Celtics, even
41:46
Speaker 1: though the Celtics obviously are not a completely intact team here,
41:50
Speaker 1: but maybe you could argue it's the Bulls yesterday, which
41:54
Speaker 1: would kind of put in Philadelphia in a bit of
41:56
Speaker 1: a hangover spot issue, even though I know, yeah, you're
41:59
Speaker 1: gonna try to focus for Cleveland, but I don't think
42:02
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has been really that tested yet. Cleveland, I think,
42:05
Speaker 1: is actually facing the more difficult schedules so far. I mean,
42:07
Speaker 1: they faced Boston as well, they faced Detroit, Milwaukee, New York.
42:11
Speaker 1: Those are that's a pretty difficult schedule, a fairly difficult schedule.
42:15
Speaker 1: They beat Atlanta in their last game. Atlanta is an
42:18
Speaker 1: okay team as well, and I think that was before
42:20
Speaker 1: Trey Young got hurt. Cleveland has multiple days off as well.
42:24
Speaker 1: They haven't played since Sunday. After breaking that loss or
42:27
Speaker 1: go the win over Atlanta, he got to think Cleveland
42:30
Speaker 1: is going to show up for this game against Philly too,
42:32
Speaker 1: Because Cleveland only plays Washington next. That Washington game looks
42:35
Speaker 1: like it might be a bit of a sandwich spot
42:37
Speaker 1: with Cleveland up the day after that. But yeah, I
42:39
Speaker 1: would lean to Cleveland laying the points in this one.
42:42
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play it, but that's the heartbreaker and
42:46
Speaker 1: streak breaker. Yeah, there should be a sauce. It could
42:49
Speaker 1: be a song. But now all I'm thinking about is
42:52
Speaker 1: another Seinfeld reference with the Steinbreker. Hey, Heykurd, So what's
42:56
Speaker 1: the name of that song? You remember that song that's
42:58
Speaker 1: up there, heartbreaker, bovem Kurn, you know whatever. He messes
43:04
Speaker 1: up the lyrics, like whatever it is. That's uh, dude,
43:07
Speaker 1: I love that episode. Side, dude, I love so many
43:09
Speaker 1: Signfeld episodes. That's the episode where George has Jerry's carpenter
43:16
Speaker 1: build like this whole like area under his desk where
43:19
Speaker 1: he can hide under his desk and nap, and he
43:22
Speaker 1: has all of his stop under his desk. And George
43:24
Speaker 1: is hiding under his desk while all that's going on,
43:27
Speaker 1: and he can't make noise, can't get found by the kids,
43:29
Speaker 1: doesn't want Steinburning to realize he's slacking off on the job.
43:34
Speaker 1: That episode is, dude, I love that episode. And meanwhile, yeah,
43:39
Speaker 1: Jerry has issues with that same carpenter or contract or
43:42
Speaker 1: whatever he is because the contractor is completely indecisive and
43:46
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what to do. And then he remodels
43:48
Speaker 1: Jerry's kitchen and he makes it just totally awful and
43:52
Speaker 1: like basically like walls off like the kitchen area from
43:55
Speaker 1: the rest of the like living space. Oh man, Yeah,
43:59
Speaker 1: that episode's good, but that's kind of an under the
44:01
Speaker 1: radar episode. Yeahoo with the money at San Jose, so
44:06
Speaker 1: showing what the pregame screen is also showing. I just
44:08
Speaker 1: don't agree with the situation and that one nets Pacers
44:12
Speaker 1: is gonna actually be my play, So I'm gonna skip
44:15
Speaker 1: that for a second. Some of these other games, I
44:18
Speaker 1: mean Boston just really briefly, I mean, Boston is a
44:22
Speaker 1: huge favorite against Washington eleven and a half. What I
44:24
Speaker 1: would say is that the Celtics just lost as a
44:26
Speaker 1: double digit favorite at home to Utah, So you gotta
44:30
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a bounce back spot where the
44:31
Speaker 1: Celtics will show up. So I would actually lean to
44:34
Speaker 1: the Celtics here, But the money's coming in against them.
44:36
Speaker 1: They're down from twelve to eleven and a half, sixty
44:39
Speaker 1: two percent of tickets, only fifty three percent of the
44:41
Speaker 1: cash on them. I don't love what I see in
44:44
Speaker 1: the market there. I don't really necessarily agree with that.
44:47
Speaker 1: I just don't necessarily see the Celtics playing really poorly
44:51
Speaker 1: in back to back games. The Celtics. One thing they
44:53
Speaker 1: were known for, Like throughout the Joe Missoula era, here,
44:56
Speaker 1: one thing the Celtics do well is bounce back from
45:00
Speaker 1: a really disgusting, ugly loss. The Celtics are good at
45:03
Speaker 1: making adjustments and playing better in the next game, so
45:06
Speaker 1: that is something to keep in mind. A Utah is
45:09
Speaker 1: at Detroit, Detroit's a huge favorite as well. The money's
45:12
Speaker 1: coming in on Utah, with Detroit up to a nine
45:14
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite, fifty four percent of the
45:16
Speaker 1: tickets and eighty percent of the cash. Though on Utah,
45:20
Speaker 1: I mean, the Oswegers are telling you that Utah is
45:22
Speaker 1: still not a very good team. There's still kind of
45:24
Speaker 1: a bottom tier team here. With the fact that this
45:27
Speaker 1: big of an underdog Utah just beat Boston, so that's
45:31
Speaker 1: I would probably lay the points with Detroit in this one.
45:33
Speaker 1: Utah is playing a third game in four days, fourth
45:35
Speaker 1: game in six days, all of them in different cities,
45:39
Speaker 1: coming off of an upset of Boston in Boston, a
45:42
Speaker 1: double digit upset, you got to think it's somewhat of
45:45
Speaker 1: a hangover spot. So I was actually pretty tempted to
45:47
Speaker 1: play Detroit in this game. Detroit came back from that
45:52
Speaker 1: win over Dallas in Mexico City, and they came back
45:54
Speaker 1: and actually still played well at Memphis, although you could
45:59
Speaker 1: argue this is now I have a return home spot
46:01
Speaker 1: because they've been away since before Saturday when they had
46:04
Speaker 1: to go down to Mexico City, So a little bit
46:06
Speaker 1: of a return home spot. So I do have a
46:08
Speaker 1: little bit of a hesitation there where maybe they have
46:10
Speaker 1: to get back to home life. Whatever. Well, they really
46:12
Speaker 1: overlook Utah though, when their next opponent up is Brooklyn,
46:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say probably not. So I disagree with the
46:19
Speaker 1: market in that one as well. I'm disagreeing with the
46:21
Speaker 1: market a lot today. Man, We'll see how those opinions go.
46:25
Speaker 1: I would lay the points with Detroit, though. I just
46:27
Speaker 1: don't see how you could be on Utah again after
46:31
Speaker 1: they pulled off that upside over Boston. Sixers coach, what
46:36
Speaker 1: did you do? What did you do last night? I
46:37
Speaker 1: mean the Sixers fucked up in a lot of ways.
46:40
Speaker 1: I think last night. We have an ESPN doubleheader tonight
46:43
Speaker 1: in the Indie NBA as well. These games are good
46:46
Speaker 1: games on Minnesota at the Knicks is the first game
46:48
Speaker 1: on ESPN Minnesota. They're just kind of rolling into this
46:53
Speaker 1: game off of a couple of easy wins over Charlotte
46:56
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn, so I don't think they're in a bad spot.
46:58
Speaker 1: I think they will show up for this game. This
47:01
Speaker 1: is also an interesting one because this is the This
47:05
Speaker 1: is another rematch between the two teams that traded, right,
47:08
Speaker 1: because this is Karl Anthony Towns versus Julius Randall. They
47:12
Speaker 1: got traded, although that was a while ago. Now, that
47:14
Speaker 1: was before last year, so these teams played after that
47:17
Speaker 1: like last year, so I think it's a little bit
47:19
Speaker 1: less of a thing, but it is still those teams
47:21
Speaker 1: playing against each other, so it's a bit of a
47:24
Speaker 1: rivalry issh just because of that trade. The Knicks are
47:27
Speaker 1: coming off of an easy win as well over Washington,
47:29
Speaker 1: which I thought might be a letdown spot They were
47:31
Speaker 1: going to back to back after beating Chicago, and they
47:35
Speaker 1: still did not suffer a letdown. They got to win
47:37
Speaker 1: over this very bad Washington team. So both teams should
47:40
Speaker 1: show up focus for this game, and when that's the case,
47:43
Speaker 1: I usually tend to lean towards the team and I
47:45
Speaker 1: think is the better team. When you expect both teams
47:48
Speaker 1: to show up and play well, and that would be
47:50
Speaker 1: the Knicks, although the Knicks have actually dropped a little
47:52
Speaker 1: bit from four and a half to three and a
47:53
Speaker 1: half with juice, but it looks like they're getting the
47:56
Speaker 1: cash percentage sixty two percent of the tickets, ninety percent
47:59
Speaker 1: of the cash on the Yeah. And again, in a
48:01
Speaker 1: game like that where I think the public's gonna look
48:03
Speaker 1: at it and think it's kind of a close matchup,
48:05
Speaker 1: both teams are four and three, the public might have
48:07
Speaker 1: a tendency to want to take the points, thinking, oh,
48:10
Speaker 1: it's a close game, let's take whatever points we can get.
48:13
Speaker 1: I would lean against that a little bit, and I
48:15
Speaker 1: would probably lay it with the Knicks. The Knicks are
48:17
Speaker 1: four and oh at home, they've been way better at home,
48:20
Speaker 1: Like they've had a huge home road dichotomy, although Minnesota
48:23
Speaker 1: has actually been really good on the road to at
48:25
Speaker 1: three and one, but the Knicks. Literally all of the
48:28
Speaker 1: Knicks losses are on the road and all of their
48:30
Speaker 1: wins are at home, so they've had a pretty extreme dichotomy.
48:35
Speaker 1: Houston is at Memphis. Also a pretty good game here,
48:39
Speaker 1: Houston coming off beating Dallas. That was a pretty big win.
48:43
Speaker 1: I mean, they beat Boston and then they beat Dallas,
48:45
Speaker 1: right after that, it is still like an in state
48:48
Speaker 1: type of rivalry game. Even though you could argue that well,
48:51
Speaker 1: Houston was a big favorite and they didn't cover. Yeah,
48:54
Speaker 1: that's also true. But I think it is a big
48:55
Speaker 1: win over Dallas. Now they got Memphis in here, and
48:58
Speaker 1: up next they do have San Antonio. So it actually
49:00
Speaker 1: makes this game kind of a Texas sandwich. It's like
49:03
Speaker 1: a barbecue brisket sandwich here. So what is possible They
49:07
Speaker 1: kind of overlooked this roller coaster of a Memphis team
49:10
Speaker 1: who's below five hundred here. Memphis, they just don't have
49:13
Speaker 1: any continuity, man, because John Morant keeps like fucking with
49:16
Speaker 1: their with their team chemistry. I mean, he's not a
49:20
Speaker 1: good player for team chemistry. He did play in their
49:23
Speaker 1: last game, he was suspended, he came back whatever. I
49:26
Speaker 1: think they didn't play well in that game they lost
49:29
Speaker 1: to Detroit. Although Detroit's a decent team. But Memphis, I
49:32
Speaker 1: do think they're a little bit better than the record
49:34
Speaker 1: looks though, when they're actually playing the way that they
49:37
Speaker 1: have the ability to play. When Moran doesn't like fucking
49:40
Speaker 1: with their chemistry, Memphis three game lost streak here, man,
49:47
Speaker 1: I would probably look to take the points with Memphis
49:50
Speaker 1: in this one. I think it is a bit of
49:51
Speaker 1: a Texas sandwich for Houston. Might be a spot where
49:53
Speaker 1: maybe they overlook Memphis. Memphis I believe got Morant back
49:57
Speaker 1: from his from his suspension in the last games. That
50:02
Speaker 1: was the game where they had to get the chemistry
50:03
Speaker 1: back again or whatever, and they didn't play well, So
50:06
Speaker 1: I think they might bounce back from that and play
50:07
Speaker 1: a little bit better here. Although they are playing a
50:09
Speaker 1: third game in four days, they're playing a fourth game
50:12
Speaker 1: in six days, and actually a fifth game in eight
50:14
Speaker 1: days in a six game in ten days, with the
50:17
Speaker 1: first couple of them being on the road. But they
50:19
Speaker 1: are back home for the first time, back home for
50:21
Speaker 1: two games in a row for the first time since
50:23
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. So I would probably lean
50:25
Speaker 1: towards taking the points with the Grizzlies in this one,
50:29
Speaker 1: and the market seems to agree with that. The number
50:31
Speaker 1: is actually up from six and a half to seven
50:33
Speaker 1: and a half. With the Rockets being a pretty big
50:36
Speaker 1: road favorite, sixty eight percent of the tickets on them,
50:39
Speaker 1: but sixty two percent of the cash coming back in
50:41
Speaker 1: on the Grizzlies. It seems like a big line on Houston.
50:45
Speaker 1: Looking at the injury situation, there isn't a whole lot.
50:48
Speaker 1: I mean, zachied I don't think Edie has played yet
50:51
Speaker 1: this season. If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong
50:53
Speaker 1: about that, but I don't know, man, So yeah, I
50:57
Speaker 1: don't believe he's played yet, right correct, He has not
51:00
Speaker 1: played yet. He hasn't played since the playoffs last year.
51:03
Speaker 1: So Eadie hasn't been there all season. So that's not
51:07
Speaker 1: gonna really be a factor in this game, other than
51:09
Speaker 1: the fact that it's already factored into the line. So yeah,
51:13
Speaker 1: something to keep in mind there. So I don't think
51:15
Speaker 1: the line is that big. Because of that, I think
51:18
Speaker 1: Grizzlies might be getting a little bit undervalued. There is
51:22
Speaker 1: Brooklyn tanking. No, I mean Brooklyn was in that game
51:26
Speaker 1: against the Sixers where I gave up Brooklyn as a play.
51:29
Speaker 1: In that game, Brooklyn was like right there in that
51:32
Speaker 1: game until the fourth quarter, Like into the fourth quarter,
51:34
Speaker 1: Brooklyn was within like three or four points in that game.
51:38
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. No, I don't think they're tanking. They're
51:41
Speaker 1: just bad. I mean, tanking. Tanking is not a thing
51:47
Speaker 1: early in the season, and these guys, they're professional athletes.
51:50
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go out there and just intentionally lose
51:52
Speaker 1: a game, like seven games into the season, there's no
51:55
Speaker 1: way like you still have pride, especially when you're a
51:57
Speaker 1: team that doesn't even have a win yet. I mean,
51:59
Speaker 1: that's it's pretty embarrassing. But I'm gonna talk about that
52:01
Speaker 1: when I talk about the Brooklyn game, which you probably
52:05
Speaker 1: know what my play is in that game already based
52:08
Speaker 1: on what I just said there. But no, and the
52:11
Speaker 1: NBA has the draft lottery too, so tanking is not
52:14
Speaker 1: as much of a thing in the NBA as it
52:15
Speaker 1: is in football, especially because football has so few games
52:19
Speaker 1: you can really just tank your way to a better
52:22
Speaker 1: draft pick in football. It's not as much of a
52:26
Speaker 1: thing in the NBA, man, And the lottery kind of
52:28
Speaker 1: mitigates it a little bit because you're not guaranteed to
52:30
Speaker 1: get that first pick. All right. We have one of
52:35
Speaker 1: the other games I haven't talked about yet. My excuse me,
52:38
Speaker 1: New Orleans is that Dallas. I'm gonna try to I
52:40
Speaker 1: guess I'm gonna hit every one of these games. We
52:42
Speaker 1: only have college football left, so that's not too bad.
52:46
Speaker 1: Dallas coming off that game where they played fairly well
52:48
Speaker 1: against Houston. They covered. I believe Jeffrey gotta win on
52:51
Speaker 1: that one. I kind of disagreed with it, but Houston
52:54
Speaker 1: never really was able to build that margin to get there.
52:58
Speaker 1: Dallas was able to cover. It was a big game
53:00
Speaker 1: for them. Now they come home and they play this
53:02
Speaker 1: New Orleans team. It's off to a very bad start
53:04
Speaker 1: and I think Zion is out. So I think Zion's
53:08
Speaker 1: out for about a week. So they're playing New Orleans
53:10
Speaker 1: without their best player or two. Dallas has somewhat bigger
53:14
Speaker 1: games coming up next. The question is Dallas at two
53:16
Speaker 1: and five, are they gonna overlook anybody? I don't know,
53:19
Speaker 1: but they are coming off. They're coming off a couple
53:21
Speaker 1: of big games, really and actually returning over from a
53:23
Speaker 1: road trip because they went to Mexico City to play Detroit,
53:26
Speaker 1: then they went to Houston. Now they're back home. Although
53:31
Speaker 1: Houston to Dallas not a huge trip, although I think
53:33
Speaker 1: it's about what like a five hour drive maybe probably
53:36
Speaker 1: because Texas is big. New Orleans. They at least broke
53:41
Speaker 1: their losing momentum. They finally got that monkey off their back.
53:43
Speaker 1: They gotta win against Charlotte, which was the weakest opponent
53:47
Speaker 1: they faced all season, New Orleans has faced a gauntlet
53:50
Speaker 1: so far, so I don't think New Orleans is as
53:53
Speaker 1: bad as their record looks. Yes, it is a back
53:56
Speaker 1: to back for them, though, and they're playing a third
53:57
Speaker 1: game in four and as fourth game and six actually
54:00
Speaker 1: and fifth and eight all in different cities, and it
54:04
Speaker 1: was like a sixth and ten days as well, so
54:06
Speaker 1: that's a pretty jammed schedule for New Orleans, so that's
54:10
Speaker 1: not great. They got the win in the injured player
54:12
Speaker 1: spot with Zion with the first game that he was
54:15
Speaker 1: out again, so they could maybe potentially take a step
54:17
Speaker 1: back in this game because he's not there anymore. They're
54:22
Speaker 1: on the back to back, which isn't that grade either.
54:25
Speaker 1: Dallas is a seven and a half point favorite here.
54:27
Speaker 1: I don't really see any percentages yet here on this
54:29
Speaker 1: we we don't so hard to gauge what the market
54:31
Speaker 1: is actually doing in this game. I mean, my first
54:35
Speaker 1: look at this was that Dallas would being a little
54:37
Speaker 1: bit of a hangover spot after the Houston game and
54:40
Speaker 1: maybe not take New Orleans without Zion totally seriously, but
54:45
Speaker 1: the spot for New Orleans is bad as well, So
54:48
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't love this game, so
54:50
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would want to do with
54:51
Speaker 1: this game. And the MAVs have injuries as well. Anthony
54:55
Speaker 1: Davis is still out looks like until their next game,
54:58
Speaker 1: and also Derek Lively. But the Pelicans are without Zion,
55:02
Speaker 1: so the Pelicans can't really take advantage of Dallas also
55:05
Speaker 1: being without their big men. So both teams are without
55:08
Speaker 1: their big men in that one. Yahoo, Yeah, I just
55:14
Speaker 1: don't give a shit with Yah. Who is showing to
55:15
Speaker 1: be honest? I mean, whatever their numbers are, I don't
55:18
Speaker 1: think they're correct. I don't know if they're just looking
55:21
Speaker 1: at one book or what the fuck they're doing, But yeah,
55:23
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I disagree with that. I like
55:26
Speaker 1: the Knicks in that game. A lot of injuries in
55:31
Speaker 1: this game, true Pelicans MAVs big men are out all
55:34
Speaker 1: over the place in that one. Miami at Denver. Miami
55:39
Speaker 1: off to a decent start playing with their new like
55:41
Speaker 1: up tempo style. They did just pull off a win
55:44
Speaker 1: at the LA Clippers. Miami. They're on a difficult road
55:48
Speaker 1: trip here, man. Since Thursday, They've had to play at
55:50
Speaker 1: San Antonio, at the Lakers, at the Clippers. Both of
55:53
Speaker 1: those games on a back to back now they're playing
55:55
Speaker 1: a third game in four and as all in different
55:57
Speaker 1: cities and having to go into elevation come out of
56:00
Speaker 1: I believe what was an upset win. Yeah, the Clippers
56:03
Speaker 1: were seven and a half point favorite. Don't like the
56:05
Speaker 1: spot from Miami here. Man in Miami over the last
56:09
Speaker 1: few years of Miami has actually been pretty bad against
56:11
Speaker 1: Denver as well. So of course, going back to I
56:16
Speaker 1: believe Miami lost to Denver in the finals a couple
56:18
Speaker 1: of years back, a few years back, which I don't
56:20
Speaker 1: want to remember because that was the season that the
56:24
Speaker 1: Celtics wound up losing to Miami and getting knocked out
56:27
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. And I think Jason Tatum, what else
56:29
Speaker 1: is new, got hurt in that game seven as well.
56:32
Speaker 1: He's always getting hurt during their playoff runs. They did
56:37
Speaker 1: get a championship the one year that he didn't get hurt,
56:39
Speaker 1: so there was that. But Celtics things can be a
56:42
Speaker 1: lot different with the Celtics. Man, it seems to always
56:44
Speaker 1: be the case, like Len Bias dies, Reggie Lewis dies
56:49
Speaker 1: on the court because he's a cocaine addict, both of
56:52
Speaker 1: them because they were cocaine addicts. I'm pretty sure and
56:55
Speaker 1: then they lose Jason Tatum repeatedly to these severe injuries.
57:01
Speaker 1: Between those two things, Rick Patino came in and traded
57:03
Speaker 1: away Chauncey Billups. I mean, Celtics could have had had
57:07
Speaker 1: some more championships than they do. Man. I mean, they
57:10
Speaker 1: do have a lot, so I'm not complaining. I think
57:12
Speaker 1: they have the most in NBA history, but a lot
57:13
Speaker 1: of that was because Bill Russell that era they won
57:16
Speaker 1: eleven and thirteen years so I was not alive back then. Miami.
57:23
Speaker 1: I mean the Celtics in my lifetime, the Celtics have
57:25
Speaker 1: been just kind of a loser team because I was
57:27
Speaker 1: born on the tail end of them being really good
57:30
Speaker 1: in the eighties, so I didn't really witness much of that.
57:33
Speaker 1: Like I remember Larry Bird like just at the end
57:35
Speaker 1: of his career and telling me to fuck off when
57:37
Speaker 1: I tried to get his autograph and whatever after he
57:40
Speaker 1: was coaching Indiana at that point. But anyway, Miami, they
57:43
Speaker 1: haven't been good against Denver recently, so Denver does have
57:48
Speaker 1: some recent history that have been good against Miami. So
57:51
Speaker 1: I don't like how this sets up for Miami. Really.
57:55
Speaker 1: Denver's coming off a win where they just won didn't
57:57
Speaker 1: cover at home against Sacramento. Whatever. I don't really think
58:01
Speaker 1: they're gonna overlook Miami here because Miami is playing fairly well.
58:04
Speaker 1: So I'll lean to Denver in this one, laying the points.
58:07
Speaker 1: Miami looks like they're setting up as a public underdog
58:10
Speaker 1: as well, which is usually not what you want to
58:12
Speaker 1: look for. Sixty Well, you want to look for it
58:14
Speaker 1: and go against it. Sixty two percent of the tickets,
58:17
Speaker 1: only fifty one percent of the cash on Miami. Denver
58:19
Speaker 1: is up from nine to nine and a half. I
58:21
Speaker 1: would lay it with Denver if I was gonna play it.
58:23
Speaker 1: I like Denver in that one. Uh. The second of
58:25
Speaker 1: the ESPN game is a pretty good one with san
58:28
Speaker 1: Antonio at LA at the Lakers. It's gonna be Wemba
58:32
Speaker 1: against uh Luca here. Pretty sure Lebron is still out
58:36
Speaker 1: and we have no idea when Lebron is coming back,
58:39
Speaker 1: if ever, so just to keep that in mind. As
58:43
Speaker 1: far as the injuries Fox, I don't think he's even
58:47
Speaker 1: played this year after san Antonio they traded for him
58:50
Speaker 1: last year. He's definitely an offensive He's a player that's
58:54
Speaker 1: gonna approve san Antonio's offense when he might actually weaken
58:57
Speaker 1: their defense. So the fact that he's out probably helped
59:01
Speaker 1: San Antonio's defense. But I don't think he's played this year,
59:04
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter. Austin Reeves has listed his
59:08
Speaker 1: game time decision for the Lakers. That's kind of the
59:10
Speaker 1: biggest thing going on with them. I expect him to play, though,
59:14
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big game. If he can play,
59:16
Speaker 1: he'll play. San Antonio coming into this off their first loss,
59:19
Speaker 1: so I could actually see this going both ways, and
59:23
Speaker 1: I called it on the show. I got stubborn and
59:27
Speaker 1: I said, I already leaned to Phoenix to cover that one.
59:30
Speaker 1: But I got stubborn, and I said, you know what,
59:32
Speaker 1: that is gonna be san Antonio's first loss, and I
59:35
Speaker 1: was right. It was also the first game where Wemba
59:37
Speaker 1: was not the leading scorer for San Antonio. They played
59:42
Speaker 1: a bad game at Phoenix. Man, they've had a couple
59:44
Speaker 1: of days to try to bounce back from that. You
59:47
Speaker 1: gotta think they were looking ahead to this big game
59:49
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. So I do think they're in kind
59:52
Speaker 1: of a bounce back spot him one way, because that
59:54
Speaker 1: game was really ugly against Phoenix. And I'll show you
59:57
Speaker 1: the box scoreing him, and if Phoenix just had absurd
1:00:00
Speaker 1: shooting percentages in that game, like massive outlier, so I
1:00:04
Speaker 1: would start looking back looking towards San Antonio for those reasons.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: The only issue I really have is is that gonna
1:00:11
Speaker 1: hang them over into the next game, because sometimes when
1:00:13
Speaker 1: you lose that first game, like I say, it hangs
1:00:15
Speaker 1: you over a little bit into the next game. So
1:00:17
Speaker 1: that would worry me slightly. LA off to a good start. Obviously,
1:00:21
Speaker 1: they're six and two LA. I mean they faced Honestly,
1:00:26
Speaker 1: they face somewhat of a week schedule, I would say
1:00:29
Speaker 1: so far are their best opponents. They face their Golden
1:00:31
Speaker 1: State and Minnesota twice, although they did beat Minnesota twice
1:00:37
Speaker 1: coming into this game. They're playing a third game in
1:00:38
Speaker 1: four days, and they had kind of an odd trip
1:00:40
Speaker 1: to Portland in between the two, which seemed like a
1:00:43
Speaker 1: bad spot. But Portland had beaten them in LA not
1:00:47
Speaker 1: that long before that, so I think they actually did
1:00:48
Speaker 1: just show up with some focus there. They got the
1:00:51
Speaker 1: win in that one. Both teams are gonna show up
1:00:54
Speaker 1: for this. LA is still playing a third game in
1:00:56
Speaker 1: four days, fourth game in six days. On they've been
1:00:59
Speaker 1: zig zagging all over the place kind of. And they're
1:01:01
Speaker 1: actually playing a fifth game in eight days and actually
1:01:04
Speaker 1: a seventh game in eleven days, so the Lakers actually
1:01:07
Speaker 1: have the more packed schedule here. So the rest scenario
1:01:10
Speaker 1: actually sets up better for san Antonio. The Lakers are
1:01:15
Speaker 1: not that good defensively, They're pretty middle of the pack defensively.
1:01:18
Speaker 1: Luca not really known for his defense man. He's more
1:01:21
Speaker 1: of an offensive player. San Antonio, when by I mean
1:01:24
Speaker 1: Wemba already is the favorite to be the Defensive Player
1:01:26
Speaker 1: of the Year and he's one of the favorites for MVP.
1:01:30
Speaker 1: San Antonio has the better defense man. So if you
1:01:32
Speaker 1: buy into that aspect of this, san Antonio is the
1:01:35
Speaker 1: better deepense getting points here. And the money has come
1:01:37
Speaker 1: in towards the under maybe expecting this to be more
1:01:40
Speaker 1: of a defensive game, which I think is somewhat correlated
1:01:43
Speaker 1: to san Antonio. And what else was I gonna say
1:01:48
Speaker 1: about this? Oh? Yeah, the money seems like it's coming
1:01:52
Speaker 1: in on the Spurs. Fifty eight percent of the tickets
1:01:54
Speaker 1: and seventy six percent of the cash on the Spurs.
1:01:56
Speaker 1: The money is kind of coming in on the Spurs. There,
1:02:00
Speaker 1: I agree with it. I'll lean to the Spurs in
1:02:01
Speaker 1: this one. I think they have a better rest scenario here.
1:02:04
Speaker 1: I think maybe they will bounce back off of that
1:02:06
Speaker 1: game against Phoenix, which oh yeah, I said I was
1:02:08
Speaker 1: gonna show that looking at the box scoring that game Phoenix,
1:02:13
Speaker 1: I mean, this is ridiculous. Phoenix shot fifty eight point
1:02:16
Speaker 1: two percent from the field, and if that wasn't crazy enough,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: they shot fifty seven point six percent from three. That's
1:02:23
Speaker 1: just out of control. There's no possible way that you
1:02:26
Speaker 1: see a team repeat a performance like that, even though
1:02:29
Speaker 1: I know it's LA at this time, but there's no
1:02:30
Speaker 1: way any team is gonna do that like on a
1:02:33
Speaker 1: night to night basis. That's just absurd. And San Antonio
1:02:36
Speaker 1: was really bad from three in the game twenty four
1:02:39
Speaker 1: point four percent, So some massive outliers in this one.
1:02:43
Speaker 1: And Phoenix lost the turnover battle, which usually that's not
1:02:46
Speaker 1: a good sign for San Antonio that they won the
1:02:48
Speaker 1: turnover battle and still lost. But again, the tale of
1:02:51
Speaker 1: this game was that Phoenix just couldn't miss, and that's
1:02:54
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen again with LA here, especially against
1:02:57
Speaker 1: the San Antonio team that's known for being a better
1:02:59
Speaker 1: defensive teams. So yeah, I somewhat like san Antonio. In
1:03:04
Speaker 1: that game, you like Denver, Miami keeps scoring because they
1:03:09
Speaker 1: keep pushing the pace, which I think Denver might actually
1:03:12
Speaker 1: try to maybe slow them down a bit. Yeah, I
1:03:16
Speaker 1: think Denver is able to win that game and take
1:03:18
Speaker 1: care of business. You need them to cover a number
1:03:23
Speaker 1: in that one though, But yeah, money also coming in
1:03:26
Speaker 1: on the under in that Spurs Lakers game, by the way,
1:03:28
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, which I think is somewhat correlated
1:03:31
Speaker 1: to san Antonio. Like I said, Oklahoma City is at Portland.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: Interesting line in this game where it's lined pretty competitively,
1:03:39
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe this will be the streak buster, maybe
1:03:42
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City will take their first loss. Oklahoma City has
1:03:45
Speaker 1: actually faced a pretty easy schedule so far the season.
1:03:48
Speaker 1: I mean the best team they faced was Houston, I
1:03:50
Speaker 1: would say in the first game of the season. Since then,
1:03:54
Speaker 1: their most difficult game was I guess the game they're
1:03:57
Speaker 1: coming off of though, at the Clippers. But they were
1:03:59
Speaker 1: able to handle bit business beat the Clippers in LA.
1:04:02
Speaker 1: That was yesterday, and now they have to go to
1:04:04
Speaker 1: Portland on a back to back, third game in four days.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: They don't only have a big game up next against Sacramento.
1:04:10
Speaker 1: The way Sacramento hasn't been playing well, but it's possible
1:04:13
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City gets caught here. Man, Portland is actually a
1:04:15
Speaker 1: little bit under the radar, and they've been pretty good
1:04:17
Speaker 1: at home. I believe Portland. Oh, they're only two and
1:04:21
Speaker 1: two at home, but for me, like the last couple
1:04:23
Speaker 1: of years, Portland has been pretty decent at home. Portland
1:04:26
Speaker 1: is coming off facing some pretty difficult games though, against
1:04:29
Speaker 1: Denver and then they played the Lakers a couple of
1:04:31
Speaker 1: days ago and lost against the Lakers. But they do
1:04:34
Speaker 1: have an extra day of rest. They're staying at home,
1:04:35
Speaker 1: and they actually had a couple of days of rest
1:04:37
Speaker 1: between the Denver and LA games, so they're the more
1:04:40
Speaker 1: rested team staying at home. And Portland has actually faced
1:04:44
Speaker 1: the more difficult schedule. They faced LA twice, the Lakers,
1:04:47
Speaker 1: I mean, they also did face the Clippers, they faced Denver,
1:04:50
Speaker 1: they faced Minnesota, Golden State. Portland actually the more battle
1:04:53
Speaker 1: tested team, So I lean to Portland to this game. Man.
1:04:58
Speaker 1: The number is plummeted though, from seven to four, So
1:05:01
Speaker 1: you gotta think maybe there's some injury on the side
1:05:03
Speaker 1: of the Thunder here. Well, I know the thunder has
1:05:06
Speaker 1: some injuries that aren't really like their main It's not
1:05:08
Speaker 1: like SGA or anything like that. But for some reason,
1:05:11
Speaker 1: this line is tanked to four fifty two percent of
1:05:14
Speaker 1: the tickets ninety four percent of the cash on the Blazers.
1:05:17
Speaker 1: I do agree with the Blazers in this one. It
1:05:19
Speaker 1: is possible Oklahoma City takes their first loss here Dort
1:05:23
Speaker 1: I know is a game time decision. It is possible
1:05:26
Speaker 1: they rest Dort here man, he's one of their better defenders,
1:05:30
Speaker 1: so that's you know, of course that's gonna have to
1:05:33
Speaker 1: downgrade Oklahoma City a little bit. He's not worth three
1:05:35
Speaker 1: points though, but I think he might not play in
1:05:38
Speaker 1: this game because it is a back to back. I
1:05:40
Speaker 1: think so they might just rest him here. Let me see,
1:05:44
Speaker 1: it is a back to back, right, I'm pretty sure
1:05:46
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, So it is a spot where maybe
1:05:49
Speaker 1: it looks like Oklahoma City might just start resting players.
1:05:52
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why the line is where it is.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: And then Jalen Williams has been out for a bit,
1:05:58
Speaker 1: so he's out as well. That also kind of hurts
1:06:01
Speaker 1: the Thunder a little bit. He's a key role player
1:06:04
Speaker 1: there and he's not coming back for a bit. So
1:06:07
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, there's that, and then guys not listening
1:06:10
Speaker 1: on the injury report might actually be getting rested in
1:06:13
Speaker 1: this game. So I think those are some of the
1:06:16
Speaker 1: reasons why the line is where it is. But I
1:06:19
Speaker 1: kind of lead to Portland in that one, and then
1:06:21
Speaker 1: Golden State at Sacramento. Golden State will be without Curry tonight.
1:06:25
Speaker 1: Curry is sick, but I also think the Warriors are
1:06:28
Speaker 1: on a back to back, so I think they're just saying, well,
1:06:31
Speaker 1: he's sick, it makes sense to just rest him in
1:06:33
Speaker 1: this game. Because he is sick. I think if the
1:06:35
Speaker 1: Warriors thought it was important, they'd try to get Curry
1:06:38
Speaker 1: out there and play. But I think they're gonna just
1:06:40
Speaker 1: kinda They're gonna rest a little bit in this game,
1:06:44
Speaker 1: I would say, So Curry is definitely out for this one.
1:06:47
Speaker 1: Warriors are public because the public probably just doesn't even
1:06:50
Speaker 1: realize that and they're like, Oh, the Warriors are the
1:06:52
Speaker 1: better team than the Kings. Why are the Kings a
1:06:54
Speaker 1: three point favorite? Well, part of it is obviously because
1:06:57
Speaker 1: Curry's not playing. Sixty two percent of the tickets on
1:07:00
Speaker 1: the Warriors seventy two of the cash so on the Kings,
1:07:03
Speaker 1: I'm not really gonna disagree with the Kings here. Warriors
1:07:06
Speaker 1: are on a back to back, although they only beat
1:07:09
Speaker 1: Phoenix yesterday, but they do have Denver up next, so
1:07:11
Speaker 1: I do think the Warriors, again, we know the rest
1:07:14
Speaker 1: and Curry here looks like a spot where maybe the
1:07:17
Speaker 1: Warriors are gonna take a little bit of a take
1:07:20
Speaker 1: their foot off the gas a little bit. And I
1:07:22
Speaker 1: think Horford has listed as day to day as well,
1:07:24
Speaker 1: so he might not play in this game as well.
1:07:27
Speaker 1: So Golden State just to me, it looks like Golden
1:07:30
Speaker 1: State's just not really taking this game seriously. Sacramento is
1:07:33
Speaker 1: only two and five. Sacramento's coming off that close game
1:07:37
Speaker 1: against Denver though, and they're returning over from a road trip.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: They've been away for more than a week. So I
1:07:41
Speaker 1: don't like the spot for Sacramento either here. I mean, yeah,
1:07:45
Speaker 1: they're not gonna overlook Golden State. They're gonna try to
1:07:47
Speaker 1: get up and play. And this is kind of their
1:07:49
Speaker 1: closest rival too in Northern California, so they're not gonna,
1:07:53
Speaker 1: I don't think, be distracted really and overlook Golden State.
1:07:56
Speaker 1: But it is still a difficult spot to return over,
1:07:58
Speaker 1: return over from a road they just played in Denver.
1:08:02
Speaker 1: They're able to beat Milwaukee on the over the weekend,
1:08:04
Speaker 1: which was a win for me on the show. They
1:08:06
Speaker 1: played fairly close against Denver and what was a loss
1:08:09
Speaker 1: for me on the show. The spot doesn't set up
1:08:12
Speaker 1: well to me for Sacramento, man, so I can't get
1:08:15
Speaker 1: there with the Kings in this one. The line is
1:08:19
Speaker 1: a little bit high on the Kings as well, just
1:08:21
Speaker 1: because of the rest sent era that the Warriors remember
1:08:24
Speaker 1: that return home spot for the Kings. Don't love it
1:08:26
Speaker 1: at all. Gotta stay away from that. My one play
1:08:29
Speaker 1: is gonna be on the Brooklyn Nets, the non tanking
1:08:32
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets at plus six and a half. I would
1:08:35
Speaker 1: wait on this because I think you're gonna be able
1:08:37
Speaker 1: to get seven on this. The money looks like it's
1:08:39
Speaker 1: headed towards seven. So actually, let me see if it's
1:08:41
Speaker 1: seven yet. If you can get seven at some point today,
1:08:45
Speaker 1: like just by looking at it during the day, I'm gonna,
1:08:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna score this at seven if you
1:08:51
Speaker 1: can let me sing. I don't see it yet. I
1:08:55
Speaker 1: see six and a half's across the board right now,
1:08:57
Speaker 1: but I think it looks like seven might show up here.
1:09:01
Speaker 1: We'll see Pacers are very public, eighty five percent of tickets,
1:09:05
Speaker 1: only fifty percent of the cash. Win is a one
1:09:08
Speaker 1: win team without their best player ever this public. It's crazy, dude,
1:09:12
Speaker 1: that how much the public hates this Brooklyn Net team.
1:09:14
Speaker 1: And yeah, the Nets might be the worst team in
1:09:16
Speaker 1: the league, but I think this is a spot where
1:09:19
Speaker 1: the Pacers might get caught. The money is indicating on
1:09:21
Speaker 1: the Nets, of course, with only fifty percent of the
1:09:23
Speaker 1: cash evenly split, so the money is disagreeing with the
1:09:26
Speaker 1: very public eighty five Pacer team here eighty five percent
1:09:30
Speaker 1: of the tickets on them, And I think this is
1:09:32
Speaker 1: a very bad spot for the Pacers. And they're still
1:09:35
Speaker 1: without most of the guys that have been heard. I
1:09:37
Speaker 1: think they got topping back, but they're still without Nemhart
1:09:40
Speaker 1: and Mathern in this game. Yeah, they're both missing this game.
1:09:44
Speaker 1: They're both listed as out until the eighth. A couple
1:09:46
Speaker 1: other guys might be out in this game as well.
1:09:49
Speaker 1: So obviously in Halliburton obviously is out for basically the season.
1:09:52
Speaker 1: So you know you're not getting a fully intact Pacer
1:09:55
Speaker 1: team here. And look at what the Pacers did in
1:09:57
Speaker 1: their last couple of games. They beat Golden State, and
1:10:00
Speaker 1: then they played really hard against Milwaukee that was still
1:10:04
Speaker 1: a big game for them. Milwaukee had that game circled on.
1:10:07
Speaker 1: Milwaukee wanted to get the revenge against Indiana for knocking
1:10:09
Speaker 1: them out of the playoffs. But Indiana performed really well
1:10:12
Speaker 1: in that game as a home underdog. The game I
1:10:15
Speaker 1: think was close pretty much the whole way. Let me say,
1:10:19
Speaker 1: although it looks like on the win probability, maybe not. Yeah,
1:10:23
Speaker 1: actually maybe not. Milwaukee had built a decent lead at
1:10:25
Speaker 1: some points, but really their biggest lead was like, yeah,
1:10:28
Speaker 1: it was eleven in the fourth quarter, and Indiana not
1:10:31
Speaker 1: only didn't go away, but they cut it to one
1:10:33
Speaker 1: possession again in the last minute. So Indiana refused to
1:10:37
Speaker 1: go away in that game. Now they get this awful
1:10:39
Speaker 1: Brooklyn team and Indiana up next. They got the Denver
1:10:44
Speaker 1: Nuggets man and then Golden State. So I think they're
1:10:46
Speaker 1: just gonna not totally be focused for this game and
1:10:49
Speaker 1: it's a sandwich spot. Indiana pretty much knows they're not
1:10:52
Speaker 1: really doing anything this year with how injured they are.
1:10:55
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be seeing them get up. I mean,
1:10:56
Speaker 1: you want to talk about tanking, I mean, at what
1:10:59
Speaker 1: point does India maybe start looking like they're in tank mode.
1:11:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna happen early in the season, man,
1:11:05
Speaker 1: in the NBA. These guys are still playing for pride.
1:11:07
Speaker 1: But I think Indiana put much more effort into that
1:11:10
Speaker 1: Milwaukee game, and they're gonna be a little bit more
1:11:13
Speaker 1: focused for this upcoming road trip here. I think it's
1:11:16
Speaker 1: a decent spot for Brooklyn to actually maybe get their
1:11:18
Speaker 1: first win. Brooklyn's coming off a couple of horrible losses
1:11:22
Speaker 1: where they lost by double digits. I mean they were
1:11:24
Speaker 1: against good teams though, Philadelphia and Minnesota. The good thing
1:11:29
Speaker 1: for them is they have one day off and they
1:11:30
Speaker 1: get to just get away from home for a game.
1:11:33
Speaker 1: So I think they might actually show up more focus
1:11:35
Speaker 1: here on the on the road, just get out of home,
1:11:38
Speaker 1: just not you know, not listen to whatever's going on
1:11:42
Speaker 1: at home, not listening to the distractions you know at home.
1:11:44
Speaker 1: Of course, the media is probably comparing them to the Knicks.
1:11:48
Speaker 1: Why does Brooklyn suck? Like? Why are the Knicks the
1:11:50
Speaker 1: way better team? Although it's kind of always been that way, right,
1:11:53
Speaker 1: Like the Knicks have always been the team that is
1:11:57
Speaker 1: the New York team, and Brooklyn are kind of like
1:11:59
Speaker 1: the bastard child. Brooklyn used to be in New Jersey,
1:12:02
Speaker 1: of course, and then they moved to Brooklyn, and they
1:12:03
Speaker 1: were I believe, an expansion team at some point, so
1:12:08
Speaker 1: they came along after the Knicks were already a thing.
1:12:13
Speaker 1: But yeah, Brooklyn, I mean they've played competitively in some
1:12:16
Speaker 1: of their games this year. They lost by eleven at
1:12:19
Speaker 1: San Antonio, that's not that bad. They actually played Cleveland
1:12:22
Speaker 1: within seven, Atlanta to within five, so I mean they've
1:12:25
Speaker 1: been close in some of their games. This is just
1:12:28
Speaker 1: a horrible spot for Indiana, and Indiana's gonna be one
1:12:32
Speaker 1: of the weakest opponents they've faced all season. And I
1:12:34
Speaker 1: know they opened their season with a just a horrible
1:12:36
Speaker 1: loss to Charlotte, which was the weakest team they've played
1:12:39
Speaker 1: they've played all season. But since then, Brooklyn has actually
1:12:42
Speaker 1: faced all good teams since then, Like every team they
1:12:46
Speaker 1: faced since then is a potential playoff team. So they're
1:12:49
Speaker 1: actually stepping down in class to face Indiana here. So yeah,
1:12:54
Speaker 1: take the points with Brooklyn waight a round. See if
1:12:56
Speaker 1: you get the seven on that, Portland plus three and
1:12:59
Speaker 1: a half, Yeah, I mean it's I like Portland in
1:13:02
Speaker 1: the game. I think it's just a bad spot for
1:13:06
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma City in that one. I think Oklahoma City
1:13:08
Speaker 1: it might be one of those games of Oklahoma City
1:13:10
Speaker 1: just I mean you you just don't you can have
1:13:13
Speaker 1: full focus on every single game. Then it might be
1:13:16
Speaker 1: one where Oklahoma City just doesn't have it in that one.
1:13:19
Speaker 1: But it's a little bit of a short line. Although
1:13:21
Speaker 1: it also looks way too easy to lay the points
1:13:23
Speaker 1: with the Thunder as well. You gotta look at the
1:13:28
Speaker 1: box score for the Thunder from last night, like, well,
1:13:32
Speaker 1: which one of those games on a back to back,
1:13:33
Speaker 1: which one of those games do you think the Thunder
1:13:35
Speaker 1: would pay more attention to? Right, Like, you have to
1:13:38
Speaker 1: say that it's the Clippers, like they're gonna put more
1:13:40
Speaker 1: weight into that Clipper game. Looking at the box scorer
1:13:43
Speaker 1: last night, you are right though they did rest guys,
1:13:47
Speaker 1: but Dork got hurt as well, so he was out
1:13:49
Speaker 1: of the game. They have two Jalen Williams this so
1:13:52
Speaker 1: that was the other Jalen Williams the worst one. But
1:13:55
Speaker 1: it actually looks like, I don't know, man, Oklahoma City, Yeah,
1:13:59
Speaker 1: I mean there roster to me seems a little bit
1:14:01
Speaker 1: thinner than it usually is right now, But You're right
1:14:04
Speaker 1: they did. I guess somewhat rest their starters in this game,
1:14:08
Speaker 1: kind of because it was a blowout, though I would
1:14:10
Speaker 1: say Dork got hurt. But then Sga played twenty nine
1:14:13
Speaker 1: minutes he usually plays in the thirties, home runs still
1:14:16
Speaker 1: played thirty. You got twenties in the twenties out of Hartenstein.
1:14:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they're not like totally overworked after
1:14:23
Speaker 1: that game. But I still think they put more focus
1:14:24
Speaker 1: into that game. I do not agree that the Pacers
1:14:28
Speaker 1: should be laying more, obviously because I'm taking the points.
1:14:32
Speaker 1: I actually think this line is too high the Pacers.
1:14:37
Speaker 1: It's a bad spot for them, and they're they're not
1:14:39
Speaker 1: a good team, man, Like, what can I say the Pacers.
1:14:42
Speaker 1: They're just a decimated team injury wise. I mean, there
1:14:44
Speaker 1: were one win team. They're just not very good right now,
1:14:50
Speaker 1: all right, college football. I mean that's and also the
1:14:53
Speaker 1: public perception. The public is all over the Pacers in
1:14:57
Speaker 1: that game for that exact reason, Like they think that
1:15:00
Speaker 1: the line looks way too short, But I'm telling you
1:15:02
Speaker 1: right now, it's not. I think Brooklyn wins the game outright.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: Quizn the toad, That's right, Quiznos Quiznos still exists in
1:15:12
Speaker 1: a few places. Man, Quizno's. They kind of screwed with
1:15:15
Speaker 1: their business model. They were actually good, man, they had
1:15:18
Speaker 1: they had a decent product, toasted subs. It's not bad,
1:15:21
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. The subs are pretty tasty, tasty
1:15:24
Speaker 1: and toasting. They should come back in more locations. Man,
1:15:28
Speaker 1: They just they screwed up as far as how they
1:15:30
Speaker 1: ran the business. College Football maction before I get out
1:15:34
Speaker 1: here in the hour long, hour and a half long show,
1:15:37
Speaker 1: the first game up is just horrendous, Like, who the
1:15:40
Speaker 1: fuck is gonna watch this game at seven pm on
1:15:43
Speaker 1: ESPN U Kent State at Ball State. You have two
1:15:46
Speaker 1: of these two teams are two of the worst teams
1:15:48
Speaker 1: in FBS. Dude, Kent State is legitimately like one of
1:15:52
Speaker 1: the worst, like probably five teams in FBS. And yes
1:15:55
Speaker 1: they have two wins, but one of them was against
1:15:57
Speaker 1: U Mass who, as we saw last night, is absolutely
1:16:00
Speaker 1: the worst team in FBS. They're gonna go back down
1:16:03
Speaker 1: to FCSU Mass. This transition to FBS has been absolutely
1:16:08
Speaker 1: nightmarish for them. So that was one of Kent State's wins.
1:16:11
Speaker 1: And then their other win was last week against Bowling Green.
1:16:14
Speaker 1: Kent State did get that win with the realist Clark
1:16:18
Speaker 1: getting a punt return or kit return touchdown or whatever
1:16:21
Speaker 1: to somehow scrape by FCS Merrimack. So Kent State's only real, legitimate,
1:16:28
Speaker 1: legitimate win was last week against Bowling Green. So I
1:16:31
Speaker 1: think they might be in a letdown spot after that.
1:16:33
Speaker 1: I mean, this Kent State team, they can't score. I mean,
1:16:36
Speaker 1: they're not a good team, and that was a ridiculous upset.
1:16:39
Speaker 1: They were a double digit underdog. I'm pretty sure. Oh no, wait,
1:16:42
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Actually it was at Kent State and Bowling
1:16:44
Speaker 1: Green was only a seven and a half point favorite.
1:16:46
Speaker 1: I thought they were an underdog in this game, man.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: But still it could be a letdown spot. I mean,
1:16:51
Speaker 1: Bowling Green still outgained Kent State by close to one
1:16:53
Speaker 1: hundred yards. There were no turnovers, so I don't even
1:16:56
Speaker 1: really know how Kent State won. That game seems last
1:17:00
Speaker 1: played on Saturday, the twenty fifth, so there's no rest
1:17:03
Speaker 1: advantage one way or the other. Really here, Kent State,
1:17:06
Speaker 1: I think they're in a little bit of a They're
1:17:09
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a letdown spot. In and
1:17:11
Speaker 1: the Kent State at three and five they're actually worse
1:17:16
Speaker 1: than their record looks, believe it or not, so I
1:17:19
Speaker 1: would start leaning towards ball State in this one. Although
1:17:21
Speaker 1: Ball State is also a pretty bad team, but they're
1:17:24
Speaker 1: coming off a loss of the event extra rest to
1:17:26
Speaker 1: kind of pick themselves up after that loss to on
1:17:29
Speaker 1: Northern Illinois. Northern Illinois is not great, but they at
1:17:32
Speaker 1: least run the ball decently and play decent defense. Ball
1:17:37
Speaker 1: State could bounce back from that. They get to host,
1:17:40
Speaker 1: you know, a primetime game, so they'll probably be up
1:17:42
Speaker 1: for it. I mean, they don't really have a whole
1:17:43
Speaker 1: lot left to play for. I guess you could argue technically,
1:17:46
Speaker 1: these both teams are actually still potentially trying to become
1:17:50
Speaker 1: Bowl eligible here, although I don't really see that happening
1:17:53
Speaker 1: for either team, but it's possible we will see. I mean,
1:17:56
Speaker 1: it is actually pretty possible the ball State wins their
1:17:59
Speaker 1: next two games and then it starts looking more likely.
1:18:01
Speaker 1: But I just don't see them winning their last year
1:18:03
Speaker 1: road games. But still that is a little bit of
1:18:05
Speaker 1: a motivational angles still for both teams here. That's actually
1:18:10
Speaker 1: in play. Ball State's offense is also quite bad for
1:18:14
Speaker 1: the most part. They're I mean They've had decent rushing
1:18:18
Speaker 1: beforress I guess in some of their games, and their
1:18:20
Speaker 1: quarterback is kind of a dual threat quarterback, but they're
1:18:23
Speaker 1: still pretty bad offense. There's I think there's still better
1:18:26
Speaker 1: than Kent State is though, so I actually think this
1:18:30
Speaker 1: line is short. Like ball State, They're up from a
1:18:33
Speaker 1: two point favorite to a three point favorite. But I
1:18:35
Speaker 1: think even though the records are the same, I think
1:18:38
Speaker 1: ball State is better than Kent So maybe the line
1:18:42
Speaker 1: is still indicating that because maybe Ball State, I mean,
1:18:44
Speaker 1: they obviously don't have a strong home field advantage, so
1:18:47
Speaker 1: maybe they due only get about two points for home fields.
1:18:49
Speaker 1: The oddsmakers are telling you that the better team, But
1:18:51
Speaker 1: I think Kent State is bad enough that maybe Ball
1:18:54
Speaker 1: State should actually been laying a little bit more than
1:18:56
Speaker 1: that sixty percent of the tickets at sixty percent of
1:18:59
Speaker 1: the can on the Kent State side here though, but
1:19:02
Speaker 1: I just don't agree with that. I think ball State,
1:19:05
Speaker 1: in a better spot, demounts back Kent State in a
1:19:07
Speaker 1: bit of a letdown spot. I think ball State is
1:19:09
Speaker 1: the better team still Kent State, I mean, I think
1:19:13
Speaker 1: there's still pretty much as bad as they were last
1:19:15
Speaker 1: year when they were like a one like a one
1:19:18
Speaker 1: win team or whatever. So Jeffrey enjoyed Chipotle. Man, thank you, sir.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have any plays on either of these,
1:19:27
Speaker 1: either of these college football games. I do lean to
1:19:29
Speaker 1: both home favorites in these games. They'll just to let
1:19:32
Speaker 1: you know. But thanks for hanging out, man. I know
1:19:34
Speaker 1: it's a long show here. I try to get a
1:19:36
Speaker 1: lot of information packed into these. As far as the
1:19:39
Speaker 1: total and Kent State Ball State, it actually went up
1:19:42
Speaker 1: to forty seven and a half. But I actually kind
1:19:44
Speaker 1: of lean to the under just because both offenses stink.
1:19:48
Speaker 1: I know that the defenses are not that good either,
1:19:50
Speaker 1: so that might help the offenses. Maybe I'm totally wrong
1:19:52
Speaker 1: about it. Fifty five percent take it, sixty five percent
1:19:55
Speaker 1: of the cash coming in on the over, so the
1:19:56
Speaker 1: money seems to be disagreeing with it a little bit.
1:20:00
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think it's gonna be an ugly game,
1:20:04
Speaker 1: so we'll see about that. But both teams, I mean,
1:20:08
Speaker 1: the argument for the over. You could see that the
1:20:11
Speaker 1: argument is that both teams are coming off playing better defenses.
1:20:13
Speaker 1: So Kent State played Bowl and green Ball State played
1:20:16
Speaker 1: Northern Illinois. Those two teams are better depfenses than these
1:20:19
Speaker 1: two teams that they're gonna be phasing each other this time,
1:20:22
Speaker 1: so they're both stepping down in class as far as
1:20:24
Speaker 1: the deep fenses are concerned. And then the other game
1:20:27
Speaker 1: a little bit better is basically offense versus defense, but
1:20:31
Speaker 1: I actually like the offense in this one. Northern Illinois
1:20:34
Speaker 1: against Toledo. Toledo is actually up from a fourteen to
1:20:37
Speaker 1: a fourteen a half point favorite, And the public is
1:20:39
Speaker 1: looking at this probably and thinking, well, how is a
1:20:42
Speaker 1: four and four Toledo team that much of a favorite
1:20:45
Speaker 1: really against anybody? Northern Illinois two and six. Well, Northern
1:20:49
Speaker 1: Illinois is not a very good team. They play decent deepfense.
1:20:51
Speaker 1: Like I said, they do run the football. Toledo is
1:20:54
Speaker 1: gonna be a team that can move the ball through
1:20:56
Speaker 1: the air more. Toledo can throw the ball a lot
1:20:58
Speaker 1: better than Northern Illinois, and Northern Illinois really just runs
1:21:02
Speaker 1: the football. But that also means that if Northern Illinois
1:21:04
Speaker 1: falls behind, they don't really have the ability to come back,
1:21:07
Speaker 1: even though their defense is okay, they just can't throw
1:21:10
Speaker 1: the football. Toledo is better than their four and four
1:21:13
Speaker 1: record looks though, So yeah, Northern Illinois public sixty percent
1:21:17
Speaker 1: of tickets, sixty one percent of the cash now, but
1:21:20
Speaker 1: I think the Republic underdog. I would lay the points
1:21:22
Speaker 1: with Toledo, even though the total is very low at
1:21:25
Speaker 1: forty two and a half, and it looks like the
1:21:27
Speaker 1: money's coming in towards the under in that one and Toledo.
1:21:31
Speaker 1: You gotta dik Toledo is correlated with the over in
1:21:34
Speaker 1: this game, though, just because if they're gonna cover a
1:21:35
Speaker 1: big number like that as the better offensive team, excuse me,
1:21:41
Speaker 1: you probably got to expect some points being scored in
1:21:44
Speaker 1: the game on Northern Illinois. I think both of these
1:21:47
Speaker 1: teams last played on Saturday the twenty fifth as well,
1:21:49
Speaker 1: so the rest is about the same. Northern Illinois finally
1:21:53
Speaker 1: won an FPS game, man, so maybe that gets the
1:21:56
Speaker 1: monkey off their back because they're all only win was
1:22:00
Speaker 1: against holy Cross, which is an FCS team, and they
1:22:02
Speaker 1: barely beat holy Cross. I actually gave out Northern Illinois
1:22:06
Speaker 1: a play way back on September fifth, and they actually
1:22:09
Speaker 1: covered against Maryland, so we got the win in that one.
1:22:12
Speaker 1: But Northern Illinois bad, dude. I mean, the best team
1:22:15
Speaker 1: they faced all season was Mississippi State and they pretty
1:22:18
Speaker 1: much got blown out in that game at Mississippi State.
1:22:22
Speaker 1: I know San Diego State has been playing well recently
1:22:24
Speaker 1: and they actually had a six to three loss to them,
1:22:29
Speaker 1: But this Northern Illinois team, and they've been bad pretty
1:22:31
Speaker 1: much all season. They got the win against Ball State.
1:22:34
Speaker 1: Ball State also a pretty bad team, and Northern Illinois
1:22:37
Speaker 1: really did not do a whole lot offensively in that game.
1:22:39
Speaker 1: They still got the win, So you could argue that
1:22:41
Speaker 1: kind of gets that monkey off their back, gives them
1:22:43
Speaker 1: a little bit of momentum moving forward. I don't think
1:22:46
Speaker 1: they're gonna overlook to Ledo because Northern Illinois pretty much
1:22:48
Speaker 1: knows they're not gonna be Bowl eligible. I don't think,
1:22:50
Speaker 1: although who knows, because they get to play UMass and
1:22:53
Speaker 1: Kent State in the remaining schedule and Western Michigan home.
1:22:58
Speaker 1: So if they could somehow pull up an upset Toledo,
1:23:00
Speaker 1: they could actually become Bowl eligible, which would be really insane.
1:23:04
Speaker 1: If they were able to do that. I don't think
1:23:05
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, obviously. I think they're not gonna beat Toledo,
1:23:09
Speaker 1: but that might actually focus Northern Illinois a little bit more.
1:23:13
Speaker 1: Toledo the one bad thing about Toledo is they've been
1:23:16
Speaker 1: all over the place where well sort of, they just
1:23:18
Speaker 1: had to fly out to the West coast and they
1:23:21
Speaker 1: actually caught Washington State in what I thought was a
1:23:23
Speaker 1: bad spot for Washington State, and Toledo still didn't play
1:23:26
Speaker 1: well and did not win the game. Obviously, they lost
1:23:29
Speaker 1: twenty eight to six. Olho, I think Toledo actually played
1:23:32
Speaker 1: better than the score looked. They were pretty close in yardage.
1:23:37
Speaker 1: Washington State only outyarded them by like twenty something yards,
1:23:41
Speaker 1: so it was actually close Washington. Toledo actually won the
1:23:44
Speaker 1: turnover battle too, So I don't know how Toledo lost
1:23:46
Speaker 1: that game twenty eight to seven. But that was a
1:23:49
Speaker 1: big game for Toledo though, because they got to play
1:23:51
Speaker 1: one of the bigger conference teams and they only did
1:23:54
Speaker 1: that one other time this year and actually played pretty
1:23:56
Speaker 1: well against Kentucky. So I mean, I can see a
1:24:00
Speaker 1: couple of arguments. I can see arguments in both ways
1:24:03
Speaker 1: in this game. You could argue that it's a bad
1:24:04
Speaker 1: travel spot because Toledo has to fly back from the
1:24:07
Speaker 1: Pacific coast, but at least they have more time off
1:24:10
Speaker 1: here because they last played on Saturday, the twenty fifth,
1:24:12
Speaker 1: so that can help with their travel here. They're still
1:24:16
Speaker 1: going to show up because they're still trying to become
1:24:18
Speaker 1: Bowl eligible at the very least. Although I think they
1:24:21
Speaker 1: definitely had aspirations of winning the MAC. Although its a
1:24:24
Speaker 1: two loss MAC team, I think that is still possible.
1:24:27
Speaker 1: Even though I think a couple of the MAC teams
1:24:29
Speaker 1: are undefeated right now, they're not technically out of it yet.
1:24:32
Speaker 1: They get to host this game in ESPN too, although
1:24:34
Speaker 1: they're pretty much used to doing that at this point,
1:24:36
Speaker 1: but it'll be their first midweek game get that they
1:24:39
Speaker 1: get to host, so they should be focused for it,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: I think, and I still think they're better than their
1:24:45
Speaker 1: record looks man. I mean, they had some weird upset
1:24:47
Speaker 1: losses to Western Michigan, I don't know how that happened,
1:24:50
Speaker 1: and to Bowling Green and Games. I think they were
1:24:52
Speaker 1: favored in both games on the road, so Toledo. Yeah,
1:24:56
Speaker 1: they were a double digit favored in both of those losses.
1:24:58
Speaker 1: So Toledo, they probably should be six and two right now. Like,
1:25:03
Speaker 1: I just don't know how they lost both those games.
1:25:06
Speaker 1: They actually could easily be a one loss team. Actually,
1:25:09
Speaker 1: the way that they caught Washington State, they were actually
1:25:11
Speaker 1: a road favorite at Washington State as well, so three
1:25:14
Speaker 1: of Toledo's four losses, they were actually favored in those games.
1:25:17
Speaker 1: So Toledo is better than the record looks. So that's
1:25:20
Speaker 1: why I kind of lean towards Toledo here. But you
1:25:22
Speaker 1: could argue the travel spot's a little bit bad. So yeah,
1:25:26
Speaker 1: I mean some conflicting factors there. I don't want to
1:25:28
Speaker 1: play it at all, but that's gonna do it. Man.
1:25:31
Speaker 1: Thanks guys for hanging out my place today one more time.
1:25:33
Speaker 1: We're laying an ass load of points here. And by
1:25:36
Speaker 1: the way, college basketball already started in middle Tennessee had
1:25:39
Speaker 1: some weird early game against some Division two team. Don't
1:25:42
Speaker 1: even know if it's televised, but yeah, college basketball, we're
1:25:45
Speaker 1: jumping into the fray. We're gonna lay the points with Georgia.
1:25:48
Speaker 1: I found it at thirty one and a half. Hopefully
1:25:50
Speaker 1: you can find a decent number on it. You see
1:25:52
Speaker 1: Davis minus three is the other one, and then Brooklyn
1:25:55
Speaker 1: nets plus the points. I said, wait on this one
1:25:58
Speaker 1: to see if you can get the seven. Because the
1:26:00
Speaker 1: public's pouring in an Indian I think it actually might
1:26:02
Speaker 1: hit the seven. Seeing six and a half with juice
1:26:05
Speaker 1: at some spots right now, so I would wait because
1:26:08
Speaker 1: if you get six and a half or six, it's
1:26:09
Speaker 1: not really that big of a deal. So hopefully we
1:26:13
Speaker 1: can get a seven on that. That's gonna do it.
1:26:15
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, guys, Thanks for hanging out again. Let's
1:26:17
Speaker 1: keep winning. Let's kick off college of basketball right because
1:26:20
Speaker 1: the way I finished in college basketball it was horrendous.
1:26:23
Speaker 1: I was really bad in March. I apologize. Last two years,
1:26:27
Speaker 1: I was really good in college basketball, especially during the
1:26:30
Speaker 1: conference play section of the regular season. I tend to
1:26:33
Speaker 1: do really well. I tend to pick some good spots
1:26:35
Speaker 1: in the early season as well, so I don't know
1:26:37
Speaker 1: what happened during tournament time. Whatever. I was really bad
1:26:40
Speaker 1: man in March. So I apologize for that. But let's
1:26:45
Speaker 1: get it done. Learn a tone on Twitter, learn it
1:26:47
Speaker 1: tone on Instagram. Like subscribe to the channel here, leave
1:26:50
Speaker 1: me some good comments. Let's boost this channel. Get it going.

1:27:27
Speaker 1: out there, I'm looking into it. It might take me
1:27:29

1:27:32
Speaker 1: when I don't really know the song at all, it's
1:27:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to listen to it a bunch of times,
1:27:35
Speaker 1: and it'll take me a lot longer to do it.
1:27:38
Speaker 1: I have to look at the chords and see if
1:27:39
