  Speaker 3: kinds of sports gaming. We've got some breaking news on

• 1:28
  Speaker 3: adjusted the lines. And, of course, Joseph Lissy, SiriusXM, will

• 1:37
  Speaker 3: in Rafael Esparza, my man, on a Wednesday. Esparza, always
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: glad to see you, brother.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Always good to see you. Almost had to cancel because
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my phone blew up with this LSU news coming in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I think Kiffin's part of my French.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I hope the kids are sleeping. Fucking with us right now.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: This would be huge if he doesn't play. Do you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: know why he's in it? I just saw listed, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I was doing– I'm not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: going to lie. I was watching the last episode of Reacher.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to lie.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: The only thing we have right now is what was
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: said earlier, and like when I say earlier, I'm talking
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: 15 minutes ago. 15 minutes ago.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: 30 minutes ago. Like, hey, we're hearing, and I'll read
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you the exact text I got. Yes. We are hearing
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that Sam Levitt is doubtful for the game on Saturday
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: against Ole Miss. We are trying to triple confirm this,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: quadruple confirm this, because we do not want to be wrong.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this was posted. I'll share this on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: screen real quickly. This was posted by on3. com, on X,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and I just shared it at Jake Wim. You can
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: see it right here. This is courtesy of on three.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: This is the injury report or initial report posting out.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Philip Wright, the third Jaden Baker, rice and Guillory and
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: a doubtful Sam Levitt for a, and of course, again,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that's posted just so you'll know from Wilson Alexander with
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on three sports. And he put that out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: 28 minutes ago, of course, as far as, and then
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we're getting that news quicker than we do.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: And, and even a lot of the media just because
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of the sports gaming industry. So, Let's start right there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Has the lines been taken down?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Somebody said that DraftKings or somebody removed the game off
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: their book.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You can't say DraftKings did. Pretty much everyone has adjusted already.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Everyone has a new number up. It's still LSU, one
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Total is still 57 and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a half. FanDuel has 56 and a half. So, yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of speechless on this one because I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: don't believe it. I don't. With all the hype, with
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all the news, with all the security issues that we're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: hearing here at the boot because of this game. I'm
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: sure you're hearing a lot of security issues going in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this game. Now, all of a sudden, he's not playing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: This is doubtful. I didn't see him get hurt. Really,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he got hurt by a Bulldogs defense, La Tech, last week. Right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm scratching my head on this one. I don't maybe–
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It would not shock me. They just want to keep
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this game in the news, period. I mean, we have
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills opening up their new stadium tomorrow with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions who let the Saints score with ease
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in the second half. So how do you maybe steal
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: away the thunder from an NFL Thursday or NFL week two?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: The biggest game of maybe college football this year is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: LSU Ole Miss. So why don't we put a monkey
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: wrench in it so we can talk about it?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: No, and I agree with you. Somebody had mentioned that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: in a text group. I mean, they said, hey, could
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this be gamesmanship or not gamesmanship?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Could this be.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Lane being Lane out here playing with everybody?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: All the reports that I'm seeing, and I saw the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one from Pete Damo, I saw the one on 1-3
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and all the people that I'm talking to, they're saying doubtful,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but they're not saying why he's doubtful. They're not saying knee, shoulder, family.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They're not saying anything. They're just saying doubtful. I mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I was doubtful for my back surgery, but I could
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: probably play a game if I was getting millions of dollars.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: No, you're right.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You're right. So does that change how you feel about–
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: About the outcome of this ballgame.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, huge. Without Sam Levitt, I think LSU has
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: no chance of winning. Yeah. No, I would agree. I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're trying to tell me Chamberlain versus– I don't even
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: know who's the backup quarterback for LSU. I don't even
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: know who the backup quarterback is, to be honest with you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure either. I'm not sure either. All right,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: let's jump into some of these games for this week and,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of course, kind of chalk through. First, let's go to
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the NFL and let's go to tomorrow night. We've got
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: a big NFL game. Detroit Lions at the Buffalo Bills.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Right now I'm looking at it courtesy of Penn Gaming
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and other books that I've got pulled up here. Buffalo
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: minus five, that total at 54 and a half. Both
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: got wins in week one. They're both 1-0. Should be
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: a great Thursday night matchup.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you wanted to take the Bills,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you should have taken it this morning when there were
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: still fours out there and four and a half. This
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: will probably be a solid six because people who are
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not novice football enthusiasts in the nfl they're gonna turn
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on the tv a half hour before the game starts
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and like holy crap buffalo's opening up the new stadium
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: holy crap they're gonna do all this detroit let the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: saints almost beat them uh on week one if it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't for a failed two-point conversion uh i think they're
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: gonna keep on pounding buffalo so i wouldn't shock me
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: if we see a six or six and a half
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: uh the way that detroit defense looked at last on
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sunday was awful Let's shift to college.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Friday night, we got a good one.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Houston, man.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: The Houston– I said this in the offseason. The Houston Cougars,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: they were the quietest 10-win team in football last year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: They won 10 ballgames. Texas Tech at home, seven-and-a-half point
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: spread in favor of the Red Raiders. That totals at
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: 53 when we see some wild, wild football on Friday night.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when's the last time we saw Texas Tech total
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: this low? That just tells the respect that they're giving Houston.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And I love that half a point on Houston. Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: If Texas Tech jumps on them early with their high-power offense,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I think it could be a long day for Houston.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But it's all about defense. This is one of those games,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: live bet it. Wait to see how Houston plays defense
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter or how's the game going. What's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the tempo like? Because we saw tempo in Texas, Ohio State.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Remember me and you were talking about that. I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: understand why were people betting this all the way up
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to total 49.5. What happened? I had it. I had
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it under in the game. Tempo in college football is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so huge. It makes you look at the tempo in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're absolutely correct.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Arkansas looks so bad. I don't know how much you
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: watch that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I watched a little bit of Arkansas, a half of
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Arkansas and Utah the other night and then said, I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: going to bed. They look terrible. They are a 25
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and a half point dog against Georgia. No pun intended.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Total at 54 and a half. Anyway, they stay in
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: this number.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I know, and I like the over in this one.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: We've seen it with Miami. We've seen it with other teams.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: We've seen it at Notre Dame. Style points are going
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to mean a lot this year because there's so many
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: good teams. It wouldn't shock me to see Georgia put
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: up 60-plus on this team.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I don't want to call it a hot seat game
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Saturday at 11, but it may be just that. North
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Carolina at Clemson. Clemson's minus three. Total's at 43. Bill Belichick,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Davo Swinney.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Who you got? Did the loser get fired? Is that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what you're saying? Could be. Is that what you're saying? Yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's– I think Dabble wins this one. I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: still not 100% sold on North Carolina. Yes, they won
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: game one in Dublin, but this has got to be Dabble.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the negative news. I mean, the story
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: came out how he told Camara he was going to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: recruit him. Dabble is just being– his name is being
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: dragged through the mud the last couple of years.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: No, it is. Great one at 230.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I say a great one. A really good one out
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: of the ACC.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: SMU at Louisville. Both teams ranked in the APA. At
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: 16 for SMU, 23rd for Louisville. Louisville's a slight favorite,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: minus two. Totals at 59. What would you say if
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I told you I thought the wrong team was favored?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I would hate you for that because what did I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: tell you before football season started? I thought Louisville could
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: win the ACC. So this right here would prove my
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: point if they do or they don't. You need this
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: game in your backyard if you're going to be contenders,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: not for your conference, just in college football in general.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: This is a great win if you can get this
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: one at home. I got to stick with my guns, Louisville.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: No, and I think it's a great game. Kentucky hung
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: with Alabama for a half, and then Bama's, I think, experience,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and then also just talent.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: More money, better talent, took over against Kentucky.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Are we going to see the same thing down at
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: College Station with Kentucky at Texas A & M? Aggies
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a 16-and-a-half point favorite. That totals a 50-and-a-half.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the mindset of Kentucky right now? You host Alabama.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You maybe think this is maybe our year to beat Alabama.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: because it's not the same Alabama team that's come to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Lexington year after year, and you have a horrible end
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of the third quarter and a horrible fourth quarter. Yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: what's their mentality? The A & M whacks them.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Big one for the state of Mississippi and inside the SEC,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Camario Taylor, Mississippi State. They took care of Minnesota last
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: week easily. They travel to South Carolina. They're a three-and-a-half-point dog,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and that total is at 58-and-a-half. So far, so good
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: for Jeff Levy and Mississippi State.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to apologize. I think on your show
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I leaned towards Minnesota and under. I lost both of them,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: so I apologize for that one. Man, but that's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: hard place to steal a road game in South Carolina.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pass on this one. Yeah, this was
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a two-one because I was so impressed with Mississippi State
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: last week. I don't want to stick my foot in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: my mouth back-to-back Wednesday nights with you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: No, I get it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Look, it's tough.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, Mississippi State doesn't play South Carolina every year,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: but the last time they beat South Carolina was 1998
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: in South Carolina. They've lost about four games since then.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You were in high school still, right?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You were still in high school.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: In 1998, right? 98. I was actually a sophomore at
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State, believe it or not. Almost high school. Almost
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: high school. But you were close on that. Florida goes
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to Auburn. Florida's a two-and-a-half point favorite. That total's at 53-and-a-half.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Auburn has looked okay. I mean, they got the week
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: one win against Baylor. Byron Brown has not lived up
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to the hype so far. Which one of these new coaches,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: these group of six coaches turned SEC coaches, wins on Saturday?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Am I crazy if I think the Gators can steal
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: this road game? I'm going to wait to see what
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: this number does. I mean, it's a 6 or 7
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern Standard Time. It's 2, 2 1⁄2. If I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: can get a better number on the Gators, which I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: think they can run the ball against Auburn, you know
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the rules. Control the line of scrimmage. Control the run game.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You win games. I think that's the path for Florida victory.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Yet again, that LSU line, if you're just joining us,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: has dropped to minus 1 1⁄2 because Sam Levitt's doubtful.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: At this point, if you're gaming, do you even game
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: this game at this point?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, because now you're going to get flooded.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: This is one of those games that I wish I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: was in the counter because right now everyone is just
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: waxing Ole Miss money, Ole Miss money. And if Kane
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: pulls the rug, Lane Kiffin pulls the rug, yeah, this
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: is a bad middle spot for books right here. But
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you keep this one open because now it just boosted
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: up the value of watching and betting this game.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And of course, that's going to be the, you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the excitement on the nightcap. Let's roll over to the
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: NFL while I got you for a little bit. And
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: of course, we'll visit with you tomorrow at 430. We
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: talked a little bit about Buffalo and Detroit. You've got
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: looking through this list here. You know, how about the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Bears and the Vikings? The Vikings doing it with a
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: different quarterback. Vikings go into Chicago. Chicago is a four
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: and a half point favorite. That totals at 48 and
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a half.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Now, we might see some weather on this game because
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the number came down a little bit. It was 49.5.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Everyone thought, oh, it's going to be 50, 51.5. This
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: reminds me of the Texas-Ohio State. Everyone thinks this game
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is going to go over. Everyone thinks fireworks are going
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to happen. I lean towards the under depending on how
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: bad the weather might be. I would jump on the 48.5.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I think this one goes under. I think the Bears
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: win this one, but I was really impressed. With Minnesota,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I can't think of anything. Carson Wentz, three touchdown passes
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and zero INTs. He wasn't prepared to play that game.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: No, he wasn't. The Patriots need a win. They lost
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: open week. They are a five-point favorite against the Steelers
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: at home. Total 41.5.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Steelers get the win and go to 2-0, or do
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the Patriots get to 1-1?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who's the wide receiver for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the Patriots now. Brown out. This one's going to be interesting.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think the Patriots win this one. Don't forget, the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers won because of Watt having an interception to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: run back for a touchdown. If that wasn't for that,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the Falcons win that game.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Commanders at the Cowboys.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Cowboys are 0-1, off to a rough start.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Good game against the Giants the other night. Dallas giving
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: up four, laying four. That totals at 50-and-a-half. That's a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: 325 ballgame on Sunday.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I like Dallas. Yes, they looked bad, and the Giants
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: looked really good, but it was the 25th anniversary of 9-11,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and you're going to New York to play that game?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat off,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are going to bounce back
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and have a great showing at home in Jerry's world.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I love the Cowboys this weekend.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Let's go one more.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Monday night, the Giants, so as we said, got that
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: 1-0 start against the Cowboys. They travel to the Rams,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: who got just beat to sleep against the 49ers across
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the pond. Rams a seven-point favorite. That totals at 48.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Does Sean McVay and that team, do they bounce back?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I think they win by like three points. I'll take
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the plus points. I'll take the seven, seven and a half.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The only thing that scares me about the Giants, yes,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: impressive win. But this quarterback and this winning back, Cam Scadamou,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they don't– They play 110%, and one of these times,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: both of them are going to be in a blue
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: tent at the same time. They need to think that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it's a seven-game year. This is not one game. It's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: not the Super Bowl. Week one is not the Super Bowl.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: No, you're right. Tell everybody where to find you, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to let you on your way, and we
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: will visit tomorrow.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You can find me on exitvsi.sports. You can find me
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: on Instagram at Rafael Esparza, and you can find me
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tomorrow on Jake's show. And don't forget to use the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: promo code patio at my bookie when you sign up.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Very good.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Esparza, have a great night.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Talk to you tomorrow. Take it easy.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get in and use that promo code patio as
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: we let Rafael Esparza go and get ready for our
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: next guest. Of course, again, we're going to get to
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: him with Joseph Lissy here in just a bit. Again,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: if you missed it, breaking news about 40 minutes ago,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Sam Levitt is listed as doubtful for LSU. And let
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: me set this up real quick and get ready to
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: get Joseph in here Real quickly, we'll go ahead and
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: bring him in. Joseph, welcome in, brother. How are you?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, the calm before the storm, Jake. This is great.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Breaking news. Unbelievable. Out of Baton Rouge. I'm shocked. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: just got home from the gym. I'm reading about it now.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: It's like crazy. But, you know, from the gambling perspective,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: if you took Ole Miss, you're definitely capitalizing on that
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: move right now.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: No, and look, is this– and people have already started
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: asking this. Is this– a Lane Kiffin move to mess
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: with everybody. I mean, I don't even know how to
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: take this. I mean, with everything that's gone on this
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: week with, you know, I saw a list today put
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: out by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. There's going to be
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: like 80 additional highway patrolmen. The New Orleans Police Department's
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: coming with horses. Boy, they have just made this thing
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: a spectacle, which we figured they would.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. And again, you know, Lane comes out and
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: says the pressure's on Golding, Trinidad, and Kiwan Lacey. And
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: I think that's complete window dressing. I really think that,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: you know, he's the one getting $ 91 million, right? He's
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: the one $ 13 million a year to erase all of
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: the negativity for the last three years of Brian Kelly.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: And what do you have to show for it right now? Again...
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: I've said this, and I've been banging this drum for
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: a long time, Jake, in the offseason, and I'll stick
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: to it. I don't believe the weakness of LSU was
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: their offense, and I understand what Nussmeier and that offensive
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: line last year, they couldn't run the football. But all
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: you hear is everybody's in love with the defense, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: that's true when they play just a pocket passer like
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Chris Vazina against Clemson, and they're able to get after it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: They have 12 sacks. through two games, but you look
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: at the games that they've lost. And my daughter went
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: to LSU, you know, she doesn't go there anymore, but I,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: you know, I look at these games objectively and I'll
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: say mobile quarterbacks give LSU's defense problems. Now we're not
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: talking about the Glenn Dorsey, Patrick Peterson, honey badger. We're
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: not talking about those defense. I'm talking specifically about, since
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Blake Baker's arrived at Baton Rouge from Missouri, go back
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: to the losses. The losses are glaring against mobile guys.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: And people will say, well, look at Lenora Sellers last
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: year and DJ Lagby. Florida and South Carolina, when they
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: played them, had terrible offensive play. Terrible. The offensive line
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: for South Carolina was one of the worst. I think
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Sellers got sacked. 38 times last year. Go back two
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: years ago when the game was in Williams-Price and Lenora
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Sellers and Rocket Sanders were running all over LSU. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Milrow two years ago rushed for 150 yards on LSU.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: And Marcel Reed rushed for three touchdowns on LSU. You know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Pavia converted multiple plays outside the pocket. Chambliss, they couldn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: get off the field on third down. When you look
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: at it from the football aspect, and people will say
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: this defense is different. Well, show me. That's what LSU
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: has to do, and that's why the pressure is on
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin, and more importantly, Blake Baker. He gets a pass.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: They love him. He gets $ 3. 5 million, but nobody wants
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to call him out because his defenses get abused by
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: athletic quarterbacks. So until that changes, the best quarterback on
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the field is... with or without Sam Levitt was the
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: guy in Oxford that I thought was the best quarterback
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: last year and should have been taken number one over
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza. And I'm sorry. I'll, I know it's against
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: the grain, but I'm tired of it. You know, the
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: kid shameless came out of nowhere. He's the only reason
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: why Ole Miss was where they were last year.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I totally agree with you. Totally agree with you. And
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I've said all week, I'm picking Ole Miss to win
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: this game for two reasons. One, if, All things are
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: equal and both quarterbacks are healthy. I'm taking Chamberlain. over Levitt.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: And then two, the home field. I mean, I think
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: it matters.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You know, not that LSU's scared to go in there,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: but I think, you know, to play behind that crowd.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm taking Ole Miss to win.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I picked Ole Miss. Believe it or not,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'm a homer. I'll be rooting for LSU. Don't get
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: me wrong. I want to see them win. But if
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I'm betting this game and I'm not, my money would
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: be on Trinidad, Chambliss, and Ole Miss. Again, I think
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Lacey and Trinidad, Chambliss are the best one-two combo. I mean...
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: you just look at that game against Louisville and his throws.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: And Louisville had one of the best secondaries in the
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: ACC last year. I mean, Deuce Alexander's still running the
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: seam route in that matchup. Look, I hope it's a
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: great game. And the last two have been really close
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: when Jaden went there two years, three years ago, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: obviously in last year's game, but this is a different animal.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: It holds a lot more weight. It holds a lot
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: more from perception and, and the LSU fan base, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: whether they want to believe it or say it or not,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: they are looking at this as a gauge to where
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: the program is. And, and, If they lose this game
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: by double digits or it looks similar to Vanderbilt, what's
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: going to be the answer then?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: No, I agree with you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. Granted, we've got a long way
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: to go and a lot of season to play, but
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: this will tell us a lot about both teams. All right,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: let's move into some more games. Friday night, I want
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: to get your take on a game there on Friday night.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Houston at Texas Tech, and I told Rafael and I've
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: told others this, Houston to me was the quietest 10-win
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: team last year in college football. They're a touchdown underdog
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: against Texas Tech. But like we've said before, you see
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: some weird things on Friday night. Can they give Texas
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Tech a run?
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Of course they can. And again, Willie Fritz has done
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: a great job of narrowing the gap. You look at
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the 10 wins. They knock off LSU in the Texas Bowl.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: With or without backups, it didn't matter. I mean, Michael
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Van Buren started that game, and they still put up
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: 45 points on LSU and won it. I mean, this
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: is a team that's confident. I think the problem, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I've said this in the offseason too, was how much
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: hype Texas Tech got. Like, we just automatically penciled them
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: in to the college football playoff as being the head
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: and shoulders team in the Big 12. And they lost Rodriguez.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: They lost David Bailey. And those players are not easy
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: to duplicate or just replicate. by plug-and-play. I need to
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: see it. And that defense gave up 21 points to
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Braden Atkinson last week. He threw for, what, over 400 yards?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: He was chucking it. And Will Hammond is nowhere near,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: in my opinion, where even Barron Morton was last year.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you go back to Will Hammond's games,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: go back to the game when he took over for
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Barron Morton against TCU in Fort Worth. I mean, he
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: lost that game. He fumbled the ball. He's a deer
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: in the headlights. Go to the game against Arkansas two
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: years ago where they got boat raced in the bowl game.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, Will Hammond is good. He's not elite. This
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: game could be close. That being said, this is a
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: major spot for Texas. You're at home. You're laying seven
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: and a half. And, you know, you should be able
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: to take away the rushing attack, which then says of Houston.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: then it's on Connor Wegman. And he could do it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: He's a battle-tested guy. He's played a lot better at
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Houston than he did at Texas A & M. But
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: at home, I lean to Texas Tech. Again, not one
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: of my better selections for the weekend, but I think
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Tech should win it in cover.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Let's move to Saturday.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Got a good slate at 2.30.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: You got kind of some snoozers on the early set,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: but SMU at Louisville, 2.30. Big one in the ACC.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Both of these teams have been mentioned as kind of
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: next team up to Miami.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Which one of these teams do you like? The line
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: that I've got in the shop I'm looking at, Louisville
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: minus two, so neutral side, this is a push.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I like Louisville. Again, I believe in
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Jeff Brom. I think the defense is just a little
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: bit better than SMU. I think the rushing attack with
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Isaac Brown and those running backs are a little bit better.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Quarterback advantage is Kevin Jennings over Kynholtz. But, you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: seeing what Kynholtz did against Ole Miss, I mean, he
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: was making plays with his legs outside the pocket. Which
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: quarterback are we getting? Are we getting the one in
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: the first half or the one in the second half?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Because if you get the one in the second half,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I think it's all Louisville. Again, I think it is
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Jeff Brom. That's the difference. Laying a short number, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: would lay it with the Cardinals over the Mustangs in
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: this matchup. But whoever wins, if it's decisive, that team
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: automatically becomes the second best team right behind Miami automatically.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Everybody would want to see that as the championship game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Florida State canned their athletic director this week. That's never
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: a good sign for a sitting head coach. Florida State's
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: a 20-point dog in Tuscaloosa, where Alabama plays much better
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: than they do on the road. They struggled with Kentucky
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit first half last week, ended up pulling
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: away from them. If Bama runs them out of the building,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: is this the last weekend for Michael Rell?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes. Now, I don't know about that report with
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: the reporter asking them about the boxes and the moving trucks.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: You know, again, you know, they want him out, right?
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I'm going to take the 19 and
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: a half, and it sounds crazy. You're right. Florida State
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: beats them last year. It's a revenge, rematch situation. They
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: snapped Alabama's 24-game week one winning streak. I mean, Alabama
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: had reeled off 24 straight week one performances. The last
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: loss came, I think, in Tuscaloosa, 2001-2004. to ucla and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: cory poss when he was the quarterback there i gotta
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: double check but it was definitely ucla in 2001 and
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: so here's the thing keelan russell played good he didn't
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: play a lead he's still turnover prone with two interceptions
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: florida state could run it they're averaging 208 on the
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: ground they've had an extra week of preparation i mean
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: if you're not going to get florida state's you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: uppercut or best, you know, Buster Douglas moment, if it
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: ain't coming in the first half or in this game,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: you're never going to get it, right? And nobody's expecting
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Florida State to show with an extra week of prep
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: against a team they beat by double digits last year,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take a shot that this game is
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: closer than people think. I think there's more pressure on Alabama.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Keelan Russell's a redshirt freshman. All eyes at 3.30. It's
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: great to play a conference game away from home, but
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Lexington is not obviously Jordan Hare or Death Valley. So
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: this game is a measuring stick of where Alabama was
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: from last year to this year. And maybe they just
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: have their numbers. So I don't think they'll feel fear
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Alabama either. Ashton Daniels played in the iron bowl, had
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: a really good iron bowl last year. Deuce Robinson was
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: on the team last year with Castellanos. I'm going to
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: take the 19 and a half, but I believe if he,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: if they lose by 30, he's gone by Monday.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: No, I agree with you a hundred percent. Um, moving
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: on to three 15, um, Mississippi State handled Minnesota easily.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: In this state, and you know, I mean, it's Mississippi
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: State and Ole Miss. And for the last several years,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: it's been all Ole Miss. And the biggest divide we've
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: seen in the state in my lifetime, I'm 50, that
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: we've ever seen between State and Ole Miss. Having said that,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: State fans can taste it. They're eager. They've got a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: hero in Kamario Taylor. Their nickname in this guy, I mean,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: it's just been Kamario. If we're not talking LSU and
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss, it's Kamario Taylor. They go to South Carolina Saturday.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: They're a slight underdog against Lenore sellers in South Carolina.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: They haven't won there since 1998. Now granted they haven't
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: played there a lot either. So that not the normal,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: you know, that was back the old East West format
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: where they just play Kentucky and rotate it off. If
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: state can win Saturday, they play Missouri at six 30 tomorrow, next,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: next Saturday at Davis way. That place will be unlike
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: anything we've seen since Prescott was there.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Can they do that Saturday?
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Well, they can. And again, I have some missed state fans.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I picked under their win total, so they hate me.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: But I might as well go all in. This is
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: one of my better picks for the weekend. I like
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: South Carolina. Now, they're supposed to get Dylan Stewart and
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Pete back, right? Dylan Stewart's supposed to be back for
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: this game. We'll see if he plays. Whether he does
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: or he doesn't, that front seven's still been playing very well. Now, granted,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: they play Kent State and an FCS opponent. I get that.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: They've had cupcakes the first two weeks of the regular season,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: but They're sixth best third down conversion rate in the country,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: South Carolina, 63%, and they're averaging 341 on the ground. So,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: you know, I look at it like this. You mentioned
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: they've lost five straight in Columbia, haven't played since 1993.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: You know, that factors in at some point, whether they
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: know that or not. I still think it's on the
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: coaching staff. They understand the pressure. It's back-to-back road games.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Don't like that so much. Kamario Taylor playing lights out.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, seven touchdowns, no interceptions, over 60% completion percentage.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: He can run it. He can throw it. He's playing great.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: But this is a tough ask. I just think it's
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: a step up in competition. Now, if they get this victory,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I'll change my whole assessment because, you know, Williams-Brice, one
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: of the underrated because, you know, we talked Death Valley,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: we talked Tuscaloosa, you know, the Swamp. It's not up there,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: but it's still a very difficult, place to play at 4.15
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Eastern time. And I just think that catches up to them.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: And again, does that mean they don't get back to
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: 500 or a bowl team? No. But this is, I
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: just think, a slight step. Great win last week against
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Drake Lindsey and Minnesota. They completely shut down Darius Taylor
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: in the rushing attack. So credit, you know, Zach Arnett
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: and that defense. But this, I think, Lenore Sellers could
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: be a problem on Saturday.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Moving on to the afternoon. Florida at Auburn. This is
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: a 6 o'clock kick. Florida a slight favorite, minus 2.5.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: That totals at 53.5. Byron Brown has not played. at
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: least through two weeks. You know, a cupcake win against
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Southern Miss last week. We love Southern Miss, but just
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: nowhere near the team that can stay on that field.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Does Florida go in there and grab a win? Is
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: the wrong team favored here?
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: I think the wrong– I would make it a pick.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I would make it, you know, Auburn minus one just
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: for the home field advantage. Again, you know, different team
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: last year, but, you know, Florida on the road or
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: on a neutral field was 0-6. They didn't win a
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: road game with Napier and that staff last year. They
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: got blown out by an average margin of defeat. A 15.1
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: points per game. Their closest defeat came in in Jacksonville
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: when they played Georgia, you know, and they lost that
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: game by four points. So, again, I have questions about
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Philo and as bad as or inconsistent Byron Brown's played.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: He's played in a lot more bigger games, you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: with maybe less competition around them than what he's got
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: now on the planes. I like the rushing attack. Now
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: you give the edge to Florida, you know, Auburn's at
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: 234 on the ground. Florida's at 247. Jaden Baugh's averaging
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: a first down, 10 yards per carry per rush. He
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: leads the team with 295. But the defense to me
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: in physicality and coordinator and, Talent, I lean to Auburn.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: 34% third down defense, only giving up 74 rushing yards
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: per game. I just think Jordan Hare at night, I'm
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: taking the much more experienced quarterback and Byron Brown and Golish.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Of course, we talked Ole Miss and LSU. Any other
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: games on the docket that you're looking at this weekend?
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I like the over in Clemson and
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: North Carolina. It goes against the numbers. you know, when
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: are we going to start talking about Clemson? They dropped
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: this game on Saturday, Jake. We need to have a
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: serious discussion about Davo Sweeney. I was, you know, under
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: their win total this year, but this team, they've won
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: seven straight against North Carolina. But obviously, you know, you
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: look at what TCU did last year and then they
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: come out of the gate and how Bill shut down
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Jaden Craig. Tate Reynolds is a freshman, you know, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Here's the problem. Third down offense, 136 out of 138
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: teams in FBS. They have converted, Jake Clemson, three of
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: 27 attempts on third. That is 9%. You're not going
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: to win. You're not going to win football games when
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: your offense is consistently going three and out and your
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: defense isn't good and you can't run the football. They're
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: averaging 95 rushing yards per game. That being said, I
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: believe that Tate Reynolds is an upgrade because now you've
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: got to worry about the RPO game. I lean to
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: North Carolina in the game, but I really like the over.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I think you look at the last three games, 49.3
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: points per game total. They're banging this under. It opened
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: five points lower than that at 44.5. We're seeing 42.5s
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: in the market, a touchdown under the average for the
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: past three meetings. I like the over. I think we
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: blow right through it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was shocked that they brought Chad Morris back, honestly.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, he couldn't cut it at Arkansas. He had
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: good success at SMU, but that was a long time ago.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: You couldn't get anybody. And that's the problem, I think,
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: with Dabo. He's got to bring in guys he's comfortable
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: with as opposed to maybe getting the best coordinator to
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: lead this team. And we've said it, Jake, there's no
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: speed on the outsides. TJ Moore is a good wide receiver.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: He's not Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson out there. There's
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: no Mike Williams. There's no Sammy Watkins. There's no Justin Roth.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: They have no speed on the perimeter to run off
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: the secondary and open up running lanes like they used to.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: That RPO game with Deshaun Watson and Trevor, it's all gone. Now,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: they can bring it back with Tate, and that's why
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I like the over, but they lose this game. They
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: would then, if they lose this game, Jake, they would
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: then have seven home losses dating back to 2023. Seven.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: They lost four last year, six since 23, and they
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: only lost two home games from 2014 to 2022. Where
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: is the identity? We need to start. And people that
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: are saying they don't want to call out Dabo because
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: of two national championships. I get it. But we talk
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: about ROI. You know, between him and Lincoln Riley, Riley
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: should feel more pressure. But Dabo's getting paid 11 million
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: bucks not to go seven and six.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Totally agree. Totally agree. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: We got some great games. Hey, I know you've got
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: some great content coming out, and you've already done it
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: this week, but you've got more coming up.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Tell people where they can find that content from now
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: to Saturday.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so all the content's on the website, goforthetwo.com. Friday

  Speaker 4: night show with Coach Bowden will be up on FanStream Sports.
• 35:27

• 35:34
  Speaker 4: You get Coach's. from the coaching and players' perspective. It's
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: a unique show. Really enjoy doing it. And then Saturday,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: the model and the encyclopedia versus the encyclopedia. I mean,
• 35:46

• 36:03
  Speaker 4: and playoffs coming around, Check it out. The stats are unbelievable. And,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: you know, we cover games that not a lot of
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: people cover. I mean, we covered North Dakota State in
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Fordham two weeks ago. Last week was that Vanderbilt-Delaware game.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we cover the big ones, but
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: we're also the computers spits out some crazy predictions. And
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: I was all over UCLA last week, so they got
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: in the final two minutes another crazy game. These college
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: games are crazy.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's like it really used to be, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: you have a team dead and buried. Now it's like
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: college basketball. You have to weather these storms and the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: 20-0 run, and you've got to keep fighting. Like, you know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: the way that Ohio State game changed last week, amazing. No,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: It was such a fun game. Joseph, thank you so much. Look,
• 36:54

• 37:36
  Speaker 3: we get out of here for the night. I want
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: to remind you tomorrow we got Hines Community College football.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: I'll be down at Southwest. We'll have a show three
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: to six, Hines at Southwest, and then, of course, high
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: school football on Friday. And let me get in here
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: is Patch says Alabama by a ton, roll tide. He
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: said his picks are Bama. South Carolina over Mississippi State,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Florida over Auburn, LSU over Ole Miss, all straight up.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And he says take the over on LSU and Ole Miss.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Patch, for putting that in there. And, look,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I do agree. Bama's going to win big on Saturday
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: against Florida State. I like Mississippi State, and that's not
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: a homer pick to go win just because of Kamario Taylor.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: A close ballgame, a four-quarter ballgame. I like Florida at Auburn.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: And I've got Ole Miss with a slight edge. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: do agree at taking the over. on Ole Miss and LSU.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Drop a comment before we get out of here if
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about something real quick. High school
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: football on Friday, some big matchups. Number two, Oxford, 3-0
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: at number one, Tupelo. These two played for the north
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: half in 7A last year. This should be a heck
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: of a game on Friday night. This is going to
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: be at Tupelo. Brandon Shields picks Tupelo to win 31-24.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: I'm reading off MississippiGridiron.com. Appreciate Chris Brooks and Brandon Shields
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: always putting out great content.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I think Tupelo gets the edge. Number three, Gulfport, 2-0
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: at number.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Eight, Petal, 3-0.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: This is going to be, you know, an oil check
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: moment for both teams. Gulfport won 7-8 last year. They replaced,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously some key players at running back and quarterback.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Petal and Marcus Boyle is trying to make that next step. Eileen, Gulfport,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised to see Petal hang around. Schiltz has
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Gulfport to win 35-24. Starkville, 3-0 at number nine, Louisville, 2-1.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Starkville rated number four in the state. Again, a golden
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: triangle slugfest between these two stalwarts. I like Starkville to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: win this ballgame by just a bit. Shields does 21-17. 21-17.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Lanier is off to a 3-0 start under Tommy Kelly.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: They're off to the fast track again. They tuck on
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Leak tomorrow night, 3-0. I like Lanier to win a
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: close ballgame, a low-scoring ballgame. Shields does as well, 16-14 Lanier.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: McComb is 3-0 at Brookhaven.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: 3-0.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Boy, two really good teams here, but I like Brookhaven.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Old Brook with a big walk-off win. A goal line
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: stop on a two-point try against Madison Central last week
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: over on the Parkway.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Brookhaven continues to roll. They roll this week.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Shields has them rolling 34-30. Cleveland Central at Grenada. Both
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: teams undefeated. Cleveland Central 3-0 at Grenada. 2-0 Grenada off
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: and running. I like Cleveland Central a little bit. Brandon
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Shields likes Grenada just a little bit, 34-32. Pearl River Central, PRC,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: 3-0 at Poplarville, 3-0. Give me Poplarville. Look, PRC is
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: really a good football team. They've come out the gate hot.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: They've got some really good offensive pieces there. But I
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: like Poplarville. I like Ty Keyes, who's headed to the
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: University of Miami. And, you know, you look also at
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Caden Bradford. He's in that backfield with Ty Keyes. Poplarville
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: should win. Shields has them winning 31-17. Also, Seminary 2-1
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: at PCS. I like PCS to win. That move to
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: the MHSA has been great for them. Shields has them
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: winning a shootout, 45-40. Hartfield 2-1 at Jackson Academy on
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Friday night.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: The Hawks take on JA.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: JA, though, I think is too tough on the offensive side.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Hartfield has some really good pieces. Shields has Jackson Academy
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: to win 38-27.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: MRA at.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Jackson Prep, MRA, 3-1.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Prep, 4-0.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Should be a really, really good ballgame. I like MRA
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: by just a little bit. Shields like Prep by just
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit. So it should be a good one.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And also, Brandon is hosting West Monroe for homecoming. West
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Monroe comes in at 2-0, one of the biggest names
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: in the state of Louisiana. They've got eight state championships
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: to their credit. Brandon's coming off a two-game winning streak.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I like the Dawgs to win at home by just
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit. It should be a good one.
