Joe Lisi | College Football Analyst & Sports Betting Personality Delivers His Week 3 NCAAF Picks · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I've got a big college football weekend coming up, starting
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with the Hurricanes, taking on Wake on the road tonight.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Lisi, GoForTheTwo.com, and his television work that he's on,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I believe, twice a week with Tommy Bowden. Good morning, Joseph.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: How are you, pal?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Doing well, Sid. It's Terry Bowden, me and Coach Bowden,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Tuesdays and Friday nights. Tommy's a great coach.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, Terry, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I confuse the two sometimes, Terry and Tommy. I'm actually
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: closer with Terry. I was, at least, than I was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: with Tommy. So I'm glad you're working with Terry. Twice
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a week, Tuesday and Friday. And where can they find
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you again, Joseph?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it's up on X. It's up on YouTube and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: FanStream Sports Network. Seven o'clock tonight, we give out the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: games and the picks.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, great. Well, we start tonight with Miami. And, of course,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm an alma mater. And they look great so far
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this year. But Stanford and Florida A & M, hardly
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: stiff competition. Now, I'm not sure which is either. The
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes are still a three-touchdown favorite on the road, but
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a little step up on the last two games. What
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: do you expect to see from the Hurricanes tonight?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: What we saw for the first two games, Darian Mensah
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and Malachi Toney to take over. Now, this line opened
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: up in Vegas and Jersey. 23-and-a-half, we saw short money
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: come in. We're seeing 20-and-a-halves in the market. But I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: still think it's Mario Cristobal. I think it's Mark Fletcher.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's all Hurricanes tonight. I think they win
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: this ballgame convincingly, move to 3-and-0.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So do I. They're going to kill him. So last
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: week I was doing this great event at Madison Square
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Garden at the Theater for the Cops for September 11th.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So I didn't see it on TV, but this Texas comeback.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Leopard dead by the Buckeyes. Leopard dead. And of all people,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning leads this incredible comeback. And Texas is now
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the number one team in the country. That was unbelievable
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: last Saturday, Joe.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a tale of two halves. Ryan Day and Arthur Smith,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator for Ohio State, really blew it in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the second half. They got conservative and it bit them. And,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know, credit Steve Sarkeesian and Arch Manning for the comeback.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think Arch Manning played all that great. He
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: did throw for a touchdown and an interception on 197 yards.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But again, they are the best team for knocking off
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a top five opponent. Now we have to see if
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: they can do it on the road, Sid. They were
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: undefeated at home last year. Last year, they were 4-3
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in road environments. That's where they really need to step up,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: have a critical game in a couple weeks against Tennessee
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and Knoxville. We'll see if they can pull it out.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: All right, so what do you think? Ohio State, that's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a very, very difficult loss. And they're still, of course,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in the championship picture. You can lose one game these days,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: especially being the Buckeyes and play for all the money.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Miami lost a couple games last year, and they played
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for all the money. But how do you think they
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: rebound after that horrible loss last week?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it all depends. I mean, are you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: going to lay the 52 and a half, 53 that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: they're laying this week? I would just sway against it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It's not a game I would gamble on this coming weekend.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But again, if you're going to get Ohio State's best effort,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it would come after a disappointing loss, whether it be backups.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith, to me, is the best wide receiver in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: college football. Took the game over last week, expecting a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: bounce back performance. They don't lose at.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Home in Columbus.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't Lay in 53-and-a-half, I would advise against it,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: but they should dominate this matchup.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What other games coming up this weekend are you taking
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a good look at, and what teams have really shocked
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you so far this year, good or bad?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think the one right now is,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm still, like, not sold on Alabama. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: know that, you know, we saw them dominate Kentucky. But, again,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think Alabama, to me, is still not looked at
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: or viewed at, in my opinion, as a dominant team.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, they're not the same. I agree. They're not
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the same as the Saban teams. This kid, Russell, a quarterback,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: does not have a lot of experience. But... They have
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: looked pretty good the last two weeks. Again, they're not
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: playing Georgia, but they look pretty good the last two weeks.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're playing Florida State this week. And I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: know Norvell potentially has one foot out the door. This
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: line opened up at 20 and a half. It's down
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to 18 and a half. I actually like Florida State
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to show well in this ballgame. They beat them last year.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They're able to run the football. And again, I'm not
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: sold on Keelan Russell, big picture. He threw for a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: buck 88, a touchdown and two interceptions last week. A
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure on Alabama to avenge last year's loss.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I think Florida State could be within the number on
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon, so we'll see how it plays out. I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: also think Maryland. Keep an eye out for Maryland. They're
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: taking on Virginia Tech and James Franklin. They have the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: better quarterback in Malik Washington. I think it's a step
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: up in competition from VMI and Old Dominion. They're laying
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: only two and a half. Franklin has dominated Loxley, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: this team is much better than people think. I think
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Maryland wins the ballgame outright. And then another spot that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: people love the dog is Miss State. I like South Carolina.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's the better side. They get Dylan Stewart,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: their defensive end, and peak their offensive tackle back. One
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of the best rushing attacks in college football, 341 on
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the ground, and the sixth-best third-down offense in the country,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: converting 63% of their opportunities. And I'll throw a cherry
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: on top. Mississippi State hasn't won in Columbia since 1998.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: They've only played five times since then, but they've lost
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: those five games by 14 points per game. I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: South Carolina rolls on Saturday.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So do I. They're good. Their quarterback is good. He
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: makes plays. And I like South Carolina, too. The matchup
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that will intrigue everybody the most tomorrow, though, has Lane
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Kiffin taking on his old team, the team he deserted
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: last year before the bowl game. He's at LSU now.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: A lot of Ole Miss people are still really pissed off.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: How about Lane up against Ole Miss?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So people think I'm a homer because I do like
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: LSU from the fan perspective. My daughter went there last year,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but I have to look at things objectively. I'll just
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: say this, Sid. I'm not sold on their defensive coordinator,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Blake Baker. Go back the last couple of years. Mobile
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks abuse LSU. I know they're athletic, but until they
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: shut down a mobile quarterback, I need to see it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: before I believe it. And I think the two best
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in college football to me, Darian Mensah from Miami
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and Trinidad Chambliss. I think Chambliss... Hands down could take
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: this game over. He's the best player on the field.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not betting this game. I'll be rooting for LSU.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But if I had to bet, I'd take the points
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: with Ole Miss.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: What do you think about Penn State? This quarterback Rocco,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this kid Rocco, comes over from another school last year.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I forget the schools already. Iowa State. Iowa State. Anthony
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Beck's kid. Right. There you go. Anthony Beck's from the Jets.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's right. And Campbell, the coach, is from Iowa. Almost
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the whole Penn State team at this point was on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Iowa State last year. But they do seem to be
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: better than Franklin's version the last couple of years. What
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're playing Buffalo this week. They're lined open
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: up at 39 and a half. They didn't cover last week.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It's up to 40 and a half. They didn't cover
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the 23 and a half point number against Temple. Interesting rivalry.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: In this matchup, they should roll. They have Cupcake out
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of conference schedule. They should be 3-0 after this weekend,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: potentially put up a 50 spot. Buffalo's a Mac team.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: They're down this year. I think it's all Rocco Beck,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: all the rushing attack. I think they dominate this 40-point number.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I do, too. All right, so on the way out, Joseph,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you're great. You really are fantastic. Tell everybody one more
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: time where they can find you online with Terry. Where
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: are all the places you can find Joe Lisi?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you can find me tonight, FanStream Sports Network, 7 p.m.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: with Coach Bowden, Bowden Ball. It airs live, best bets
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and predictions. And then I do an algorithmic model show
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: on X and YouTube tomorrow morning. We've been doing it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: for the last two weeks. It's a pregame show, 10.30
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: on X and YouTube Live. We break it all down,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: me versus the computer.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I love that. What time is that, 10.30?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: 1030. Yep.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to do better than what's his name?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Stanford Steve. No, what an ESPN.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Some of these games and why people should tune in
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: is because I cover the top 25 games. The computer
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: picks out their best seven games. They gave out UCLA
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: last week. which I didn't even like. They laid 12
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and a half against San Diego state. They scored a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: touchdown in the final two minutes to win that ball
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: game by 18. Their best bets are two and oh,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and they, they picked under the radar games. Like two
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, we had North Dakota state and Fordham. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you never know what the computer picks out, but tune
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in 10 30 sharp. It's the fastest hour and a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: half in college football led by yours. Truly.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Joe Lisi, you're terrific. You really are. Great job here today.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You're always great. I enjoy having you on. Have a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: great weekend. Enjoy the games. We'll do it again soon, Joe.
