  Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It's a very happy Friday. Why? Well,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it's October 2nd, and it's a press-free zone here today.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So instead, you get me, you get Art DeCesar. We're
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: going to talk some Friday Night Lights. We've got some
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: contest picks in college football we've got to go over,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: parlay of the day. We'll throw out an NFL prop
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: or two. We'll talk about These Major League Baseball playoff
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: games that are coming up in the series. So a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: lot to get to here, Art. But tonight, a couple
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of pretty good games, in fact, on tap with some
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: very familiar games. Very familiar names there. Penn State, Northwestern,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a little Big Ten battle happening there. ACC, Pitt, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Va Tech, two teams that have quietly been flying under
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the radar here. So what are you seeing with the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Friday night lights here tonight? Anything?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that Pitt-Va Tech game is really good. Both undefeated,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I believe, right?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, what a game. I mean, you saw Pitt
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: money early at plus four. It was sharp money. You're
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: now seeing two and a half out there. The one
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: surprise I saw, Joe, was that actually the total went up.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That's surprising to me. I mean, just looking at it
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: from just kind of what the numbers bear out to be,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it opened 53, got to as high as 55. It
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: has come back down to 54.5. I lean under in
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that game. I think it's a nice under spot. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: then the Penn State game, you saw under money as well.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: That opened 47. It's now 45.5. Penn State was like
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a two-and-a-half-point favorite. Moved to three. I don't want to
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: say that's necessarily sharp money. I think that's just books
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: moving with the public, moving with the number. Penn State
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: obviously is a name brand that's going to get some money.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: They just said, hey, we'll get to the key number
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of three.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I should mention, too, you've got two other
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: interesting games, too. Liberty taking on Delaware here, and Liberty
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: opened up the season not looking all that great. in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of games here, but a ball state, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: think in coastal Carolina, uh, they kind of righted the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: ship up here a little bit. And Delaware has been
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a little, I've been a little feisty here. So I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: think this is going to be an interesting game. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: did see some, uh, love earlier in the week on Delaware.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that continues. And then of course, Idaho
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't love a little late night, Idaho action, uh, here
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: taking on, uh, I believe it's a, is it Montana?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I believe it is a Montana here tonight, Montana state.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: there with Idaho getting almost 17 points. So a couple
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of games coming up here tonight should be a good one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: One of the plays here tonight is a best bet
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of mine over at wager talk.com. So you guys can
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: go grab that one Thursday night football. Wow. Art, did
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you have on your bingo card that the Cleveland Browns
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: would be 3-0 to start the season because I did
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not have that on the bingo card, or 3-1, rather,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to start the season.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: 3-1. Three straight, though.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three straight, though.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Three straight. There's a lot of things to like about Cleveland.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if the quarterback ever could get
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: back to even 75% of his form in Houston, they
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have some offensive weapons. They got some guys on defense.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It looks like they love playing for Munkin. I mean,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you see everything in the press conferences, the postgame stuff
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: in the locker room really feels like they're bought in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the monk in, you know, a tough spot for the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Steelers short week in the division going on the road.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But that was actually a very fun Thursday night game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It was very entertaining. It was higher scoring than the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: market thought for sure. But, you know, we're getting to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the point. This is I've always said it. This is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: why coaching matters more in the NFL than any other
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: professional league. Munkin is doing a great job of coaching
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: his ass off. And listen, we forget it wasn't that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: long ago that Deshaun Watson was considered one of the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: In the NFL.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So, amazing. Put him in a decent system. Don't ask
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: him to do anything crazy. And don't forget, they couldn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: protect him in Houston when he was there, if you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: remember that, Art. He got destroyed there. But now you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: give him a little protection. You get him to get
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: rid of the ball quickly. Good things are happening. And listen,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the Browns left a lot of points on that board.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: He had a couple of guys that he hit that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: dropped the ball that could have been huge plays. So, Ultimately, though,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a 56-yard field goal is what gets it done. Watching
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers meltdown is fantastic. Each and every game, it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: really is. But once again, I'm watching Pittsburgh last night, Art,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm going, this team's just, while the Browns have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: gotten younger, the Steelers have gotten older. And you can
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: see it across the board.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the Brown weapons, the tight end,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the two receivers, the running back, they're all like 22
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have some guys they can build with.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And you're right. Obviously, this is the Steeler, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: because it's Rodgers last year, his last ride. But even
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: some of those guys on defense, a little bit older, obviously,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: they just traded to Porter, Porter to the Cowboys. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: never loved McCarthy. The Steelers are in a weird spot
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: because even last week they had a great win. That
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: was a really nice win against Cincinnati. It's just so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: tough week to week to see maybe what you're going
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to get out of this team.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but hey, kudos. The Browns, I think their schedule
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: lines up pretty well, too.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Jets next week.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Jets next week, so very winnable games here. Could be
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a 4-1 lead in that division. I'll say it again,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Prez couldn't understand the trend that I threw
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: up there yesterday.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, those graphics were good, Joe.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We're good. Yeah, I mean, it's not, you know, call
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: me crazy. That's not unheard of to understand that. Yeah, Cleveland,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, in that spot has just dominated Pittsburgh
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: over the years. And that includes McCarthy now, too, as well.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So good win for them. But we got a lot
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of other things going on here. We mentioned the Friday
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Night Lights. We've got WNBA playoffs here. I believe the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: NHL with a couple of games. What are you seeing
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: here for sharp bets today?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Just sharp bets. The only thing they report in the NHL,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and it's a little bit of a bigger slate, or
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: kind of a medium slate, there's a little bit of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Ranger money that came in. They're on the back-to-back. They're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in Detroit tonight, so Ranger money after the good win
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: at home against the Lightning last night. And really, in MLB,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the only thing they report for Game 1 and Series,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and they're both the same thing, they're aligned, is you've
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: seen White Sox money come in, both on the Game
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: 1 and the Series.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Interesting there. Yeah, we should... We're going to keep an
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: eye on some of these series that are coming up
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: here in Major League Baseball for sure. All right. Talk
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to me here, Art. We did not do the college
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: football parlay of the day yesterday.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We screwed the pooch yesterday.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So screwed that up. But it's the Prez's fault, which
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is why he's not here. But... We should probably do
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that now and get it out of the way, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: then we'll do an NFL one also. So let's do
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: our college football parlay of the day, you and I,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: for Saturday. What are you looking at here? What do
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you like?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the latest game on the board,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Hawaii at home. They're three-point favorites. Give me them on
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the money line. Give me the rainbows.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I am going to take Virginia to beat Florida State.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And they'll get it done. It's a small number, two
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and a half, I think, Art. I'll even take Virginia
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on the money line, guys. Florida State is... They're not good.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They're not good in Tallahassee. They have no home field
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: advantage anymore. And I think Virginia lost to West Virginia,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we remember, not too long ago. I think Virginia bounces
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: back in a big way here and beats Florida State.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: All right, NFL here now, Art, this weekend. What are
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we thinking for a little two-teamer Moneyline Parlay?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we talked about it yesterday, and I think it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the coaching mismatch. I think Ben Johnson will eat Aaron
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Glenn's lunch. Give me the Bears on the money line.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You're going to go Bears on my poor Jets. Listen,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I hope they don't win a damn game here. That's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: what I am hoping. Listen, the hook is out there,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't like it. So I'm just going to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: lay it with the Rams. I'll lay the money line
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: with the Rams on the road against Philly. It's not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a great spot, cross country, but I don't want to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: lay three and a half either, but I definitely believe
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Rams will win that game. All right, so we
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: got a couple of college football and NFL, two teamers
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: there for you, not to mention we're going to have
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: some college football contest picks that we got to figure out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: How are we doing in that contest, Art?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: We're doing really well, Joe. We've had a winning week
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: every week. We started with three four and threes and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: then a five and.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Two, which is what we are now all about.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: 17 and 11 through four weeks. There are about 800
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: people in the contest. I believe we're in the seventies
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: right now. So just a couple of points out of
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the money. Cause they only pay the top 10 in
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that contest, but we're grinding it out. We're doing really well. Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You have to avoid the Owen sevens. The one in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: six is, and we've done a great job. of that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It is a marathon, not a sprint, that is for sure.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: But before we dive into it, Art, it is time
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for a little business here. Talk to us about what
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you've got locked and loaded for the clients over at wagertalk.com.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Got an NHL play up for today. Started off
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: nice in the NHL, two and one on the first
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: three plays. I've had a 5% NFL play loaded all week. So,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously always get involved with that or the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: weekend warrior. We'll have some college up later and I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: going to have some MLB playoffs later, obviously with that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: starting on Saturday and actually have a bunch of free
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: picks up there as well. So always go check out
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the page, WT dot buzz slash ad.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Slash a D. Did you see my damn Panthers last night? Art?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, a bar, a bark off, man. That's big. You
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: got to hope he's not. Yeah. I ain't, Because he
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: killed them last year not being there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: If he goes down in the second game and is
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: out for an extended period, that's going to be tough.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We got to hope not because he tore his
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: ACL and what, the MCL last year during training camp.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So let's hope. that nothing else is going on there
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: right now. But wild scoring games. Edmonton, nine goals last night. Nine, seven.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Where was that in the first game we wanted you?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: My goodness.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they kicked a late field goal to get out
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of there with a win. I mean, their games are insane.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They are ridiculous. A lot of overs last night, by
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the way, across the board.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of overs.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: A ton of overs. All right, Art, let's talk here
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: about what we've got. Oh, by the way, you guys
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: know my Friday night play is up. You can go
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: grab that. Plus, and Art said it here, the whole
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: weekend warrior thing is the way to go, guys. 49 bucks,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and you get every football play on Saturday and Sunday.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I am trending now for three and three, three on Saturday,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: three on Sunday. So hop on over there, take advantage here.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: $ 49 will get you an all-access football pass. We're also
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: doing well to start off undefeated so far in the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: wildcard round here. We rattled off a couple of wins there.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Now looking forward to the weekend here. in Major League
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Baseball as well. All right, let's talk here. Some contest picks, Art.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: What are we looking at? What are some of the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: numbers that stuck out to you in some of these
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: games here? Because again, it's not every game, but it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is certainly the numbers move, shall we say? So what
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: are we looking at here? Yeah, they do.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I'm going to mention the one that
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I put in the parlay of the day. I like that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: In the contest, Hawaii is minus 2.5, where it's now
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: 3 in most spots and probably trending even higher. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: think an interesting one is the one that you picked, Joe. Now,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's the worst number in the contest because it's 3.5,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and somehow Florida State money came in and pushed it
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: in a lot of places to 2.5, but I don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: even mind laying 3.5 in the contest with UVA because
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I kind of line up with you that FSU is
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a mess. I initially thought UConn at 6.5 was a play,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: but You've seen a lot of Syracuse money come in,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and that's now seven, maybe trending higher. So maybe I've
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: now flipped to thinking Syracuse in a contest play at
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: six and a half at the still number is the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: right move.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm also thinking, Art, that got to sell high
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: here on UMass right now. Are they on a contest
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: against Eastern Michigan? Are they even in there?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I'd have to double check, but... But if they are,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't hate that.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, again, the love. They're expecting a sold-out crowd for
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the first time ever at the game, Eastern Michigan. The
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: one thing I know is Chris Creighton, the head coach
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: over at Eastern Michigan, never back him as a favorite,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: but as a dog, he has been money over the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: years here. I think 21-7 against the spread and as
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: an away underdog. in Mac games. And that's exactly what
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: this is now with UMass. So yeah, I, uh, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: don't mind that one. Uh, what are we thinking about
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: some of the more high profile games here? Uh, 17
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: with Miami and Clemson. Uh, what are we thinking there? Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd want to lay it with Miami.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Um, I don't know that we have to. They're going
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to win the game.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. I'll say this, Joe. I think the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: values are collected. It probably is. You're probably right. I'll
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: be interested to see what you think about this one
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: because I'm 99% sure that in the contest, Iowa is 14.5.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So, you know, lower total. Iowa was good to us
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago. Going against Ohio State was good to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: us last week. You know, interesting spot there. You get
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in the 14 and the hook. So I don't hate that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Auburn's getting 7.5 in the contest.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I think Iowa either has a chance to win that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: game outright.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Or it's 31-0.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Or they get blown out. It's one or the other there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But at 45.5, a low total, and you're already spotting
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yep. Which, you know, is always nice. Auburn in the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: contest is 7.5, and that was sharp money. And now
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: it's basically seven everywhere. Obviously, Tennessee in kind of maybe
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a letdown spot here where they had number one on
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the ropes and probably could have won and should have
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: won the game. Auburn's been flying under the radar a
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: little bit. Their only loss is Florida. So, I mean,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you're catching seven and a half in that game. That's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: an interesting spot, too.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. And Arkansas is so terrible that I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: think if A & M is going to write the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: ship at home, this is probably a game. They're going
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to blow the doors off of Arkansas because they're not
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a very good team. And Texas A & M has
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: proven that, listen, they they have the quarterback. They're just
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: not good against the better teams. But this is probably
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a game that they are.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Where's the game, Joe?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's at Texas A & M. It's in College Station. Yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's in Texas A & M. So if there's going
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to be a write the ship game, it's likely going
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to be here. I've seen nothing but Colorado love too, Art.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's down to 12 and a half against
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech. That was 15 at the open. What's going
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: on there?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd have to double check the contest number.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the contest number, if it's anything, it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: probably 13 and a half.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So it's under two touchdowns there.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: That game is in Colorado, by the way. Yeah, okay.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there's a, you're going to have, we
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: saw the early money. I'm sure the public wasn't running
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to the window to back Texas Tech, who's looked terrible
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to this point. Yeah, that could be very interesting. Now,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: are we back to fading Kentucky here with you?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Man, we talked about this. South Carolina?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. South Carolina is kind of a mess.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It's in South Carolina, right? I'm pretty sure the game
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is back home in South Carolina for them. So that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: at home is one thing. Kentucky, I bless them. Me too.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I was dead wrong.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It's in South Carolina. It's now 3-3.5, but it opened
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: at 2.5.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: So it's been the South Carolina money late. So if
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we get under a field goal.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll double check that number, Joe. If it's
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: two and a half, I don't hate South Carolina.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Nope, I do not at all. I think that's actually
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: not a bad way to look. And then a big
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: question is Missouri. Are we taking the six?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's the right play. I mean, despite their
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: loss last week, Florida's coming in with their chest blown out. Saying, hey,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: we're a top 10 team. We're a team to be
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: reckoned with. We have a Heisman running back, all this stuff.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: But very hard to go on the road and win
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. And, you know, whether it's five and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a half, six in the contest, probably some value there.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Could very well be some value in that spot there. Also,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you got to love a 62 total in Colorado State
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and Oregon State, I'm just saying. You got to love
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not a lot of defense going to be played in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that one. All right, so we've got, those were a
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: couple of games for the college football contest spread guys there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, try to get yourself the best number you can.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. Also, Illinois laying double digits at
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: home against Purdue. I don't love that at all. even
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: though Purdue doesn't play a lot of defense. And Minnesota
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and P.J. Fleck at home getting five and a half
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: against Michigan. He's another guy that's been really good as
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a dog, especially at home.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You could talk me into Minnesota as one of our seven, Joe.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. Yeah, me neither there. All right.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: How about some NFL props here, Art, for not week three,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: week four. Don't pay attention to that. But go ahead, Art.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Lay them out for us here. What's one of the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: ones you're looking at?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually looking at two real quick. I'm going
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: to your team. I like Allen to score a touchdown.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I think that he gets in the end zone. Obviously,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: no Brees Hall. He's going to get a lot more opportunities,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and he's usually their goal line guy anyway. He gets
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a plus money on that. And listen, I saw this today,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and it's a high number at 31 and a half,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: but Lamar has gone over that rushing total every week
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: this year. He's 3-0 to that. He had 50 rushing
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: yards last week. He's back to where last year didn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: look like he wanted to run. He's back to running. So,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Lamar over 31.5 rushing yards.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Do not hate that. I actually kind of like the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Kansas City game and the Raiders because I think some
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: points are coming there. Mm-hmm. I think that Kirk Cousins
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: has thrown three touchdown passes in every game he's played
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: so far this year. And now he's got both his
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: tight ends there. Divisional matchup. I can see over one
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns for Kirk Cousins in that game
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: as well. I think points are going to be on
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the board there for Kansas City and the Raiders. Now,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are at home, so we got no weather issues,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: nothing along those lines. I think it's going to be
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: an old-fashioned shootout there, Art, between these two offenses this
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: rolling right now. And call me crazy, I think Geno
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Smith is going to throw the ball a lot. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: think attempts, completions, he's one of the more accurate guys
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: in the league right now. I don't trust the back
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: half of that Bears defense at all. So I do
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: think with no running game, he's going to have to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot. So his props looking over,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: they're not going to have a choice but to let
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Geno drop back a whole lot and throw the ball
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: 40 times, Arden.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: That's a sneaky overplay this week, too. Jets and Bears.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking there, too. All right, well,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we got some Major League Baseball coming our way here
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: now that the division, or the playoffs, rather, are all
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: set up here. The White Sox take on the Guardians.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: That's going to be 1 o'clock tomorrow. You get the Yankees, Tampa,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: San Diego, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, who had to... go to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a game three now gives the Dodgers the ridiculous advantage
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: here because the Dodgers have had off and they've had
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: plenty of time to rest their rotation. It's funny that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers get this kind of edge given the fact
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that they didn't even have the best record in Major
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: League Baseball or And yet San Diego's got to travel
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers, who were the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: best team in Major League Baseball this season. It's ironic
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: how that all works out there, Art.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: It is, and the Brewers, who have had no success
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: here in the postseason of recent memory, they're taking on
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the hottest team in baseball. I mean, the Padres enter...
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They won maybe 13 of their last 15.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: They were so red hot. They destroyed the Cubs. You know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: obviously Milwaukee is going to have the advantage with some
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of their starting pitching, but we know that the Padres advantages,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: they have more power because they hit the home run.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee does not. And the back end of their bullpen,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: they basically can make these games five inning game. So
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I really think the Padres are alive in this series.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I think at that price, the Padres are worth a look.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's, um, Padres are going to be
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a tough out here, no matter what. I am going
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to be interested to see who they decide in game one.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Dodgers, they're still undecided. They can go
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: with anybody. But we do know it's Cole and Rasmussen.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I see the total sitting at seven right now with
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays about a minus 30 favorite. Less
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: than the Yankees finishing it the way they did. Certainly,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: their rotation is not as affected here as obviously Atlanta
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: is going to be and What are we thinking here?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Rasmussen and Cole, where were you leaning here in this series?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: You know, and this is a lifelong Yankee fan who
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: wants the Yankees to win the World Series every year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I think Tampa's being disrespected in the series, Joe. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: am shocked that the Yankees are a favorite. I think
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Tampa should be the favorite. Rasmussen has owned the Yankees
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: outside of one start in July this year. His other
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: three starts were amazing. Tampa gives the Yankees all sorts
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of trouble. I get that the Yankees are favored because
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of the public money and the perception, but if you
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: just look at it from a real bookmaking standpoint, it
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: should be Tampa minus 120. Rasmussen in game one at
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: minus 130, minus 135 feels cheap as well. I don't know.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's incredible how Tampa gets no respect. And Joe,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: don't forget, you mentioned that total of seven. All those
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: games went over in the wild card. Basically all of them.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It was insane how they all went over.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yep. They went over big time, but you know what
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they did? They all stayed under in the first five. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: How we made money in all of those games there.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Cause the bullpens, as far as I'm concerned, can't be trusted.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: with any of these teams, with any of them. So,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: except for maybe the Padres, who have the best back-end
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: bullpen in all of the playoffs that remain. All right,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: so we've got some baseball coming up. Art, you're going
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to be locked and loaded this weekend here in Major
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: League Baseball?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: 100%. I'm going to have a play-up later, and I'll probably,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: once we get into the division series, I'll have a
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: play-up basically every day in these games. Only had one
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: play in the wild-card game It was a 5% play
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: on the Padres, which obviously hit in game one. So
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: that was good. So we're rolling really nice in baseball
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: right now. But now that we're going to get rolling
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: with all these series, I'll have baseball every day.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: All right. Baseball every day coming up here. White Sox
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and Guardians going to be sneaky, too. Parker Mezek and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Smith there, the big lefty, did a great job against
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the Astros in that opening game because they just threw
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the kitchen sink there and didn't really have a front-end starter,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: which cracks me up. But Parker Mezek is really good
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: as a lefty there. White Sox could have some problems.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: That might be an under for me in a big,
