• 2:04
  Speaker 1: welcome in, sir. How are you?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I am doing well. How about yourself?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You know, we're doing good. Waiting on that rainstorm. You're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: down in Louisiana right now, correct? Yes. So y'all are,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I guess, out of the eye of the storm.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: No, we'll probably get some wind, maybe some small bands
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that maybe will come through, but nothing like some parts
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of the panhandle we'll probably get, especially, I mean, they're
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: saying it could rain.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Go to a three.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I do a lot of research on hurricanes because I
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: do betting odds on a number of works. So it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: only 10 degree. It's only 10 miles per hour difference
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: to move it to a two to a three for landing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So I think it can be easily become a three,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: especially how warm the waters are.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Let's jump into some of these action. Get into some
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: plays here. Got two ballgames going on tonight. Jacksonville State,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Kennesaw State. That's a 16-14 ballgame edge on Kennesaw and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then Florida International FIU versus New Mexico State. Just kind
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of look at some of these matchups the rest of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the week. Tomorrow we've got a couple ballgames, about three
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of them. I don't know if any of those interest you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe South Florida. You know what's interesting? South Florida UTSA.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: UTSA is a seven-point favorite, 49.5. They had a $ 6
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ticket going on at UTSA tomorrow night.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Wow. Or Roadrunners.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, actually, I like the Roadrunners. I mean, some
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: places have seven even money. Just like today or tomorrow.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I like Liberty, but I like them first half. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: don't want to lay 13 and a half. I think
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: they run wild early, so it wouldn't shock me if
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: they go up ahead early.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's go to Friday night. Louisville, Florida State. Big
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: one for both teams. Louisville trying to stay in the race,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: trying to stay in the hunt. Florida State would like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to do the same. Everybody's chasing Miami right now and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: maybe Duke. We'll talk about Duke maybe a little later.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: But Florida State, Mike Norvell's trying to save his job.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: They're at Louisville, Florida State, plus three and a half.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That totals at 59 on a Friday night. Who do
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you like in this ACC quote showdown?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Nothing better than go to the Louisville stadium, grab a
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: bucket of chicken, some KFC and watch the Cardinals beat
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Florida State. I'm a little bit shocked that this number
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: has not moved to four. I'm just not sold on
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Florida State. We've been bashing them pretty much all season long.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: And I thought Louisville would be up there in a
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: hunt with Miami and stuff like that. So I think
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: there's a bigger game for them at home against a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: struggling Florida State team where people are thinking, is this
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: going to be our coach next year?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Another Friday night matchup, Iowa at Washington. Iowa took it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on the chin to Ohio State. I don't think anybody's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: surprised by that. They go out to Washington, who played
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: USC well over the weekend. I believe it was USC,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: or maybe it was Penn State. I can't remember. It
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was Penn State. Penn State, thank you. Iowa, though, they've
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: got legitimate college football playoff aspirations. Can they go out west,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and can they get a win on Friday night?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: It all depends on how Iowa plays their game. If
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: they muddy it up, which they did in the first
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: two quarters against Ohio State, and then Ohio State said, hey,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: we have the best player in college football. Let's let
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: him win our game, and that's what they did. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: if you can muddy the game up, and I think
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Iowa's a live dog here on the road against Washington.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: If not, pretty much if you see Iowa on your schedule, like, okay,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: we need to score 24 points or more to take
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: care of business against the Hawkeyes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Staying– I think we got one more Friday night ball game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Iowa State at BYU, and I bring this up because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I want to talk a little Big 12 real quick.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: BYU minus 10.5, and the total is at 46.5. There
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: may be a couple other Big 12 games to get into,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but I was talking about this Monday on my show.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The Big 12 could throw a major monkey ridge in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff because you could have a lot
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of 9-3 teams, 3 or 4 in the SEC, 3
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: or 4 in the Big 10, maybe 1 in the ACC. BYU,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Utah, and Oklahoma State, they don't all play
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: each other. And only a couple of them play each
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: other once. You can get a situation, if they continue
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to trend the way they're trending, where you get a 12-0, 11-1,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a couple 10-2s. The Big 12 can make it hard
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on the playoff committee.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I would say three of those are correct. I'm not
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: going to throw in Oklahoma State. I think they have
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: a hiccup.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Down the road.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: But the other three, I mean, besides we still have
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the Holy War, That BYU and Utah, because that can
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: maybe derail someone who loses that and maybe they lose
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: the game after that. That can maybe derail us. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: that was a great win of Oklahoma State against Oregon.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, but I just can't put them
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: in that mix of four. I only got them three
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: being legit contenders.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So obviously I'm assuming you would. So BYU, you think
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they cover that ten and a half against Iowa State?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: That's a big number because now when you're looking at
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: BYU and Utah, are they looking ahead to the Holy War?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is probably going to be one of
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the biggest Holy Wars that I can forecast because this is,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, both teams ranked. Both teams have great offenses
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and defenses.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It's a big number.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, BYU will win this game, but I don't
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: want to lay 10, 10 and a half on it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, Indiana at Nebraska. Indiana minus seven and a half.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Totals at 49 and a half. Indiana has looked somewhat pedestrian.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You know, had a little trouble there with Northwestern. They're
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: having trouble in Nebraska on Saturday.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Yes. I used to live in Indiana. My youth.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: And there was a phrase that there's more than corn
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: in Indiana. Well, that's going to bite you in the
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: butt because it would not shock me if Nebraska, the Cornhuskers,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: take care of business.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You're at home.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, Indiana's got a target on their head. They
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: lost one of their key running backs a couple of
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: games ago. They've had some injuries on both lines, offense
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and defense. I can see Nebraska putting a big game
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: on this one. It wouldn't shock me if Indiana finally
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: gets an L. When was the last time they lost
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: a game?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's been quite a while. Missouri, they took
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: it to Florida last week, went down to Mississippi State
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, Texas A & M. They're looking
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for a signature win. They're a three-point dog on the road,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: 11 o'clock against Missouri. That total is at 48.5.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: If this was any other game that Missouri is playing,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I would be fading them. But I ain't putting none
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: of my money on A & M. I don't care
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: who they're playing. Nope, I can't do it. So it
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: went shockwave. Missouri beats A & M.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Had a Florida caller call in today, a little concerned
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: about South Carolina, kind of like a wounded dog coming
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: into Gainesville, Florida licking their wounds. Florida's a 12.5-point favorite.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Seems like a pretty big spread. That totals at 61.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: That seems like a high number there. Is the play
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the under 61?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I think it is because if you're Florida, if you
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: go up high in this game, are you just going
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to run a ball and just get this game over with?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I understand with South Carolina, betters coming in and all that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: But what's the quarterback's mindset saying that he could be
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: benched last week? The head coach is gone at the
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: end of the season. Yes, that defensive guy is probably
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: going to play in this game. But does the defensive
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: side want him? There's just too many question marks. It's
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: either under or past for me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: This has got to be the lowest total. We're visiting
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with Rafael Esparza of ESI Doc Sports. Make sure to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: follow him on all social channels. MyBookie.ag. Use the promo
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: code JakeWim and get in and play today. 39 is
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the total on Texas, Oklahoma. Seven and a half is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the line. That may be the lowest. You've got to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: go back to the 30s to find an Oklahoma-Texas total
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: at 39. You have to.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Have you seen Oklahoma play offense?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: This total opened up at 41 and a half, so
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: it's moved two points. I don't know if there's any
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: weather involved. I've been so concentrating with... Like with New
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Orleans and everything, and a panhandle and above the wind,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: when his hurricane goes, I didn't look at Texas's weather.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any weather involved.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I just think this is just a horrible offense that
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma has forecast.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And I can see Texas easily winning this game. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: want nothing. to do with Oklahoma, what I've seen on
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: their offense. They're just awful. I've said this thing three
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: weeks straight. I've had them total season wins over. That
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was a for sure winner. This team stinks.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not any good. All right, are we putting
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Oregon on upset alert? UCLA travels into Oregon. They're 4-0.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Bob Chesney's got UCLA in the Bruins. Even Nico Amaliava
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: doing enough with a big run game out in California
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and L.A. Oregon's going to be without Dante Morgan. Looks
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like they're going to go with Dylan Raiola. Are we
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: putting the Ducks on upset alert?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think they win this game. I just
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: think it's a big, big number. I mean, this UCLA
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: team is pretty good. They can run the ball. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: we've seen it in college football, and we've even seen
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: it in the NFL. If you can run the ball,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: You can upset and win games. If you can't run
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the ball, a.k.a. Cincinnati Bengals, a.k.a. Houston Texans, you lose games.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: So we're not shocked if UCLA establishes the run and
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: is able to run on Oregon. They keep this one close.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss back in action. Nashville, they couldn't tackle before
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the break. Maybe they've got that fixed. Their 10-point favorite.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt feels like they're fading just a little bit. They
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: got a couple wins. One of them was the gift
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: wrap from NC State. This totals at 56-and-a-half. Ole Miss,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: get back on the right side of things here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't sold on Vanderbilt all season long. Yes,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: they played some well, but Ole Miss, they needed some
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: time off. I think they take care of business.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Also, a couple more here. LSU, should we put LSU
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: on upset alert? Eight-and-a-half point favorite, totals at 52, headed
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to play Kentucky. Kenny Minch, he's playing good football. You know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: he almost won that Notre Dame job, didn't get it. C.J.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Carr got it. He goes to Kentucky. They're playing really
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: good ball. Can Kentucky keep this into the fourth quarter?
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, even though A & M' s struggling this year,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: you still lost. Kentucky still went to Texas A &
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: M and won by double digits. They're 4-1, but they're
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: also 4-1 against the spread. I'm not sold on LSU.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been here. I finally go back to
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the West Coast next week.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I am so glad because– To hear the news portray
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that easy victory that they had against McNeese State, you
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: thought you played an SEC team.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, the LSU offense got fixed. Oh, they did this.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, really? This is why I can't wait for them.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: To either get rid of these non-conference or cupcake games,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: or you just don't let them count. You can still
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: play them. McNeese State can still get their six figures
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: or a million dollars and all that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You can still play the game, but it does not count.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: for your college football stats or rankings.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: All right, we've got USC-Penn State. If you want to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: touch on that, this feels like an elimination game. I mean,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Penn State's already been beat a couple times. USC needs
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a win to stay alive in the Big 12, or
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: should be the Big 10. Right up next to Georgia-Alabama.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Looks like we're going to get this one in. Bama's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a one-and-a-half-point favorite. Total's at 52. I thought Bama looked
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: like old Bama last week against Mississippi State. They put
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: their hands in the ground. They ran the football. And
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they've got a really good one in Keelan Russell. But
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I like Georgia- I feel like the wrong team's favorite.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Give me Gunnar Stockton. He's got more experience at quarterback.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I like Kirby Smart in this, even though Alabama's had
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: their number. Your thoughts?
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: You know me, I have Georgia two tickets, total season
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: wins over and to win the SEC. But this Alabama
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: offense is really fun to watch. Remember last year they
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: couldn't run the ball? This offense is a lion. You
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: got to give them some credit because they're able to
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: run the ball. This is one I'm just going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: sit back and enjoy the game. I have no action
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: on it. I can't wait for this game.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Let's roll over to the NFL real quickly and grab
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: some of these games. You know, when we kind of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: start looking through the NFL, some injuries are taking effect
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: on some of these teams. We do have the Bears
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: at Packers, 12 o'clock on Sunday. Chicago, minus 2.5. That
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: totals at 45.5 in one of the greatest, oldest rivalries
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this one's going to be interesting because– Bears are
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: the road favorite. I'm going to read you a stat.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Bears are minus two and a half road favorite versus
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Green Bay for the first time in 20 years. They've
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: been a road favorite. Last time they were a road
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: favorite was 2006 week one where the Bears won 26
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to nothing. They're a minus three and a half point favorite.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I like the Bears in this spot. I don't care
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: who's the quarterback.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: They just, I mean, they have three quarterbacks that have
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: W's this year.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. Any chance that the Browns,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And the only reason I'm bringing up Cleveland is because
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: they're sitting with a tie with Baltimore right now in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: their division at 3-1. Did they get upset by the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Jets this weekend? They're a two-and-a-half-point dog on the road.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I could see the Jets.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Jets still play good defense. I mean,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: we make fun of the Jets because mostly it's because
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: of their offense.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: But they still play good defense. It wouldn't shock me
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: if the Jets win this one.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: But, boy, wouldn't it be fair if Watson wins another
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: road game and just putting pies in our faces the
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: whole season?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Colts at Steelers. Steelers minus two and a half. Totals
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: at 44 and a half.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I'm fading it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I always fade a team that's coming back from an
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: England game. That's what the Colts did, even though it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. And he'll throw anybody underneath the bus when
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: he can. I'll take the Steelers laying a soft number
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: at home.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Raiders.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Impressive story so far. They're on the road. They got
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to go all the way across the coast, play New England.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: New England's a three and a half point favorite. Totals
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: at 45. Can the Raiders keep the storybook season going?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Or does New England kind of shut the door on
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: them here?
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I think New England wins, but I think the Raiders
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: are going to be a hard out. They're going to
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: cover a lot of games. They're going to make teams
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: wish they didn't put them on the schedule. I think
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: New England, big win last week. I think the trend continues.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Vikings only a two-point favorite on the road at New
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Orleans who got just blanked by the Falcons the other night.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Totals at 42. New Orleans able to rebound or Vikings
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: go in and get another win? Stay undefeated.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: This one seems like a trap game. I don't know.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: You said it. I don't understand why the Vikings, even
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: though the Vikings have had success at the Dome, if
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I would miss miss, was it a penalty in that
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: playoff game where the Vikings won with a St. Should
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: have won a passing interference call that was missed like
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the Vikings.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I think they still stay undefeated. Crystal Lobby has not
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: practiced all week.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Big one in the NFC West, 49ers Seahawks. Seahawks get
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the nod, minus three. That totals at 46 and a half.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Niners have looked really good.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Seahawks defense is the reason why
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: they give the first to San Francisco. I like to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: see a Seahawks defense at home.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Two more and we'll get you on your way. Ravens, Falcons,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Sunday night, 720 kick, Eastern time. Falcons a three and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite, totals at 43 and a half.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: They have run, Jimmy, run, run the football. Can they
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: continue to do that on Sunday night?
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Jackson still has a bum ankle, and we've
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: seen the best player in football play on Monday night.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: He wears a Falcons jersey. B.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: John Robinson.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I think the Falcons.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And Monday night, speaking of, 6-15 Central, 7-15 Eastern. Bills
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: at the Rams out in L.A. L.A. minus three, totals
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: at 54.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to bet the over in this game
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: just because I think we're going to see both quarterbacks
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: have big games. If you're looking for good props, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: like both quarterbacks to throw one plus touchdowns. I'm looking
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: to bet a lot of props on this game.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I like the over a little bit.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I know you got baseball right in the midst of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Tell everybody we want you to play. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of plays to be played.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Braves just went home. The Dodgers took care
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: of business. The Braves are out. Cleveland took care of business.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: They're still in. So we have baseball playoffs. NHL hit
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the ice. Most of the soccer leagues start up this weekend.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: We have UFC Vegas 122 this weekend.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: And the NBA kicks off in two or tips off
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: in two weeks.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Hard to believe. Hey, we'll take a pass tomorrow. I'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: be on the road traveling. Can you do Friday?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I think so. I'll text you. Okay. I'm almost positive.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I'm almost positive.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, travel day, I got to go down to the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Gulf Coast and do a football game tomorrow night for
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: junior college.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: You're not sandbagging? Is that where you're going? I'm going
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: to go there. Where are you going next week?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow? Pearl River Community College. It's in South Mississippi. We
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: got a game tomorrow night.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, South Mississippi. I thought you said like down the panhandle.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you going there?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Not at all.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Esparza, we'll do Friday. Appreciate you, brother.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Have a good one.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks. Rafael Esparza on your stream tonight. Make sure that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you subscribe to the show on YouTube. Also, check us
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: out on X at Jake Wim. And then get in and,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of course, play, whether it's use the promo code, Jake Wim.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Let's bring in our next guest. Always kind enough to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: give us some time. Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Also, you
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: can get him at Go For The Two. He'll tell
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you where you can get all his shows, Carver, Lissy,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: all the things. Joseph Lissy. Lissy, welcome in, brother. What's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Getting ready for dynamic week number six, Jake. What do
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we have, 61 days of college football that kicked off
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday night? I mean, this is the best time
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of the year. We're only in October, and we have
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: separation Saturday for a number of different teams, but most
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: importantly in the SEC and Big Ten this weekend.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: No, we do, and let's jump into some of those matchups,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about storylines and things going on. We've
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: got a couple games, like you said, football every day.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You've got three games tomorrow night, Friday night, Florida State
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: is at Louisville. Florida State, a small favorite in that,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: plus three and a half. That totals at 59. Mike Norvell,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: who needs this win more? Is it Mike Norvell or
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: just Louisville? Because I don't think either one chases Miami,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: but you know, the chase is on.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely Mike Norvell. I mean, we
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: talk about a Seminoles team that, yeah, they're playing good
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: right now. Knocked off Virginia 38-7, but they haven't won
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: a road game, Jake. Dating back to, what is it, 2024?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, they were 0-5 last year on the road
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and lost by an average margin of defeat of 11.5
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: points per game. Their one road game came against Bama.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: They covered as an 18.5-point dog but lost the game outright.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: So you saw this line, 5.5 points in favor of Louisville.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Sharp action came in and they took the Noles at
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: plus 5.5 points. I'm going the other way as much
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: as I like the nodes overall, and we'd love to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: see them get back to a ball game. I think
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this is a right spot for Louisville. They're averaging a
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: buck 98 rushing on the ground. I like Jeff from
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: in this spot. I think they have a little bit
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: more consistent offense with kind notes. I think they win
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: this ball game and cover it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, 11 o'clock. We got some pretty good intrigue.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: One I'm going to be watching. I'm sure you will
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: be too. Indiana has, has looked pedestrian. There are a,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and a hook seven and a half point
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: favorite on the road at Nebraska total 49 and a half.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Is this a spot to maybe put them on a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: slight upset alert?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's possible it's back-to-back row games and you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: have Ohio state looming. So, I mean, yeah, I mean,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: it's safe to say it could be a similar situation
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: like Florida. I want to say, but you know, Indiana
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: has been going under the radar. We've heard about Florida.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: We've heard about Georgia. We heard about Texas. We heard
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: about Bama. and obviously Notre Dame and Ohio State, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like the team that's not being talked about
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: enough is Indiana. Now, they covered the number against Rutgers
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: last week, 23.5-point road favorites. They're running the football really well, though.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: They're averaging 252 on the ground. They put up 327
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and rushed for 8.4 yards per carry against Rutgers. Prior
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to that, they put up over 200 against Northwestern since
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: week two. They've been running unbelievably with that offensive line,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and they're averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Josh Hoover, who
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: threw last year 29-13, 15-0 right now through five weeks.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: He's playing very clean, maybe not as, I want to say,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: as electric as Fernando Mendoza, but he's playing within the system. And,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you know, statistically, Nebraska giving up 100 yards per game
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: on the ground, only 165 through the air. But who
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: have they played, really? I mean, I think that's really
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: when you look at the body of work, this is
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: a different animal. Biggest game for Matt Rule, you could say,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: for Nebraska in the past 10 to 15 seasons. But
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I think Indiana paced them in this game. I think
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Nebraska's good. I don't think they're elite. And I think
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Indiana wins this convincingly on Saturday afternoon.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Bama, Georgia here in a minute. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: got some questions from both Bama and Georgia fans in
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the chat. We will hit that as we kind of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: comb through it with Joseph Lissy here in just a bit.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M, boy, they put a ton of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: money into their program. They have looked very lackluster. They
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: don't have an answer at quarterback, it seems like. Missouri
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: is a team that really, I mean, took it to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Florida and just wore them out last week. They've got
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M at home. Does Missouri and Eli
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Drinkwitz continue this run, or can Texas A & M
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: turn this thing around this weekend?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I talked about this with Coach Bowden. Forget
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: the upper echelon of SEC teams, Georgia, Bama, Texas. Take
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: all three of those out. The second tier, LSU, Florida,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Miss State, You want to throw Missouri in there. That's fine.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Inconsistency week to week, right? You never know what you're
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: going to get. And Texas A & M came off
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the mat and covered a dominating fashion against Arkansas. We
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: talk about Missouri matching up against Florida. They had won
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: three of the last four against the Gators in Columbia. Well,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Texas A & M has won three straight against Missouri.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: And if you watch this game last year, Casey Concepcion
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: had a field day against that secondary. I know he's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: on the Browns now, but Marcel Reed and that team
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: were able to run the football. They had success. I
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: like A & M here as a dog. I feel
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: like they got some of their confidence back. I'm not
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: buying into A & M big picture, but I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: in this spot in Columbia, I just think personnel-wise they
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: match up well with the Tigers, and I think they
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: make it a game and potentially win it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Florida's back at home. They take on South Carolina. It's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a wounded animal. They're going to get the big defensive
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: player back, it looks like, at defensive end slash linebacker.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer is in a corner. Can he come out swinging,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: or does Florida knock him out this weekend?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: You know, there's two ways to look at this. Is
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Florida going to take South Carolina lightly? Even though they
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: got blown out last week, they're at home. This team
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: is 0-3 in the SEC. And do they just make
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it a game, South Carolina, because Florida comes out flat
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: again and just makes it a four-quarter game? It's possible.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: The other flip side is that you had a South
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Carolina team that, indeed, Two home games had a double-digit
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: lead by 16 points and 17 points over both Kentucky
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: and Miss State and lost both of those games in
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the second half. They completely shut down, no second-half adjustments,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: and how much longer does the team... And how are
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: they able to respond if somebody punches you in the mouth?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: What if it goes the other way and they down 14-0?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Are they going to respond knowing that, you know, they
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: just lost two games where they jumped up? That is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the concern. I mean, again, the numbers suggest South Carolina,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: but I would probably, if I had to bet this game,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I probably would lay it with Florida, but I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: like it in any capacity. Cause I don't know what
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: you're going to get. It wouldn't shock me if Beamer's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: fired after this game either.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Me either. Especially if it's a poor showing. All right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You may know. I've never seen this Texas, Oklahoma.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: This totals at 39. You may have to go back
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: into the forties or the thirties, 1930s. I'm serious. Just
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to find a total that low in this ball game,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: but that's where we are with Texas and Oklahoma. You
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: talk about a struggling team. Oklahoma is that, Texas, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: has not looked like Alabama. They have not looked like Georgia.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: What are we going to see with this?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, both teams coming out of
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: a bye, so there should be preparation, right, on both sides.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: This is Oklahoma's Super Bowl. I mean, they're not going
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to the college football playoff. All you have to hang
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: your hat on is this rivalry game against Texas. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: when you look at Texas, to your point, they're two
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and six against a number in road spots, including bowl games, right?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you know, all right, they're three and what? They're three
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and six. If you count the road win over Michigan
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: against the number dating back to last year, that's pathetic, Jake.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: They didn't cover in five road games last year. They
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: lost three of them outright. Ohio State, Florida, Georgia, didn't
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: cover Miss State, didn't cover Kentucky. They didn't cover against
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Tennessee this year when they should have covered. But Will
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Muschamp took his foot off the gas. Again, I told
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Coach Bowden, Is it me or, like, where's the killer
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: instinct in this Texas team? You're up 10 against Faison Brandon, who,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: no offense, he's a freshman that's not ready to play,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and he lost his job to McIntyre. He had 34
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: yards passing. in that loss to Texas, how you will
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: allow him in the fourth quarter to double his production
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: by playing prevent defense in the final three minutes. When
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: you sack him 10 times, you tell me, I asked
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: coach Brown, what, like, what are you afraid of? You're
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: up double digits. If you give up a touchdown. Okay.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: But you really think he's going to give up a
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: touchdown when you sack them 10 times and he had
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: 34 yards passing in the whole game. and he couldn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: even complete a five-yard out, and you're Will Muschamp, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: you play an umbrella defense to allow them to get
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: back into the game, and by the way, they almost
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: lost it? I mean, that's crazy to me. I don't like...
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: The lack of killer instinct on Texas. Yes, they pulled
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: out the fourth quarter against Ohio State, but I'm going
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: to ask you, have we seen four complete quarters from
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: this team all year? I'm going to take the points
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: with Oklahoma. Look, Oklahoma doesn't have to win. If they
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: lose 24-20, 20-17, 20, you know, 20 to 14, some
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: ugly type of game. I'm willing to take a shot
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: because I think Venables could be fired after this game.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: And if you're not going to get up for Oklahoma,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: meaning after a bye week with nothing to play for,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and this is their Super Bowl, when are you going
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to get up? You're going to get Oklahoma's best effort
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: after getting blown out from Georgia. I'll take the points.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Texas has not shown, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that killer instinct where some of these other teams have.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: They didn't show it last year. And I don't know
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: if that's a leadership thing or if that's a coaching thing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And conversely, I agree with you on Venables. This could
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: be it for him if it goes really south. Oregon,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: looks like Dante Moore is not going to play this week.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: They'll go back with Dylan Raiola. They got UCLA coming in.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Bob Chesney has got this team playing ball. Should we
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: put the Ducks on upset alert?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I think you can. And I told Coach Bowden he
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: disagreed with me. But I'll say this. Dylan Raiola is
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: no longer the backup. He's the starter. And, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: he comes in last week or two weeks ago and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: he's got to perform because it's reactionary. You're not prepared.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Dante Moore goes down with the concussion. He's out of
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the game. You have to come in and you're just reacting. Right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: They're calling plays. You don't have a chance to think
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: about anything, and that's probably the best situation, and he
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: did fantastic, not taking away from his performances. But we
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: saw Dylan Rayola when he was the starter at Nebraska. Now, granted,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: there was less talent around him than there is at Oregon,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: but now he's got the bullseye on his back. He's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: had all week to think about this game. It's an
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: undefeated opponent, a blue-collar team. They play slow. You know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I like UCLA with the points. I'm not sold on
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Oregon either. Consistency wise, they need to win this game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And I worry about that because again, every week is
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: you need to win. You need to win. You need
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to do that from the get go, but let's not
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: forget they came out flat in two games. So if you,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: if they didn't give you that, then right. Can we
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: carry that through, even though they got the win against USC?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Are we for sure that they're refocused without their starting quarterback?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I'll take a shot with the Bruins with the points.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss back in action. Pete Golding, I know there's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: some issues tackling, issues on that defense. We'll see if
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: they get that corrected. They go to Nashville this weekend
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to take on Vanderbilt. Should they have any problems?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: No, one of my best bets of the weekend, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: people think I'm nuts, but Vanderbilt back-to-back. losses to Auburn
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: and Georgia, depending upon when you bet that game, they
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: covered the Georgia line 24 and a half. Jared Curtis
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: didn't start, but let's not forget he's a freshman. So
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: even if he does start, right, in this game, Berlowitz
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: came in. He completed 12 of 23 for $ 1. 90. You
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: play two blue-collar defenses, Georgia and Auburn. You got beat
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: up in the interior. And now here comes a finesse
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: speed team. They're going to stretch you. I don't care
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: that it's bad weather. Again, even if it's 30-mile-an-hour winds,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Trinidad Chambliss can scoot. Kiwan Lacy's supposed to come back.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, from the series perspective, played 1-5 straight. by 24.4
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: points per game, and they're coming off a bye week.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: If you're not going to get Ole Miss' best effort
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: this weekend in Nashville against a beat-up dog, when are
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: you going to get it? So I'm laying it with
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss. I don't care what the weather is. I
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: could see Chambliss rushing for 100, Lacey as well. I
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: just think they put up a 35 spot. At least
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: maybe Vandy gets 17, but that's a blowout win as
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Will Stein took the podium this summer and started talking about,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: sounded very Curt Signetti-ish, saying, hey, if we win, it'll
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: be because of me. You know, we're going to play
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: left lane, hit the gas. We're going to do all
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: this stuff. They have tried to do their best version
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: of that, and they have looked pretty good at times.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Can they take LSU into the fourth quarter?
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: They can. You know, I told somebody this. The last
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: time I bet this game, And I have to go
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: back and look. It was the weekend, and this is
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: how crazy I am. I was at a wedding, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: this is the weekend that Zach Calzada was on A
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: & M and was catching 18 and a half against
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban and Bama. It was A & M and
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Bama and LSU and Kentucky. And I think it was
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Burroughs' first year with Eddie Yell, or maybe it was
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the year after. but after they won it in COVID.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: But that year, that total was off the rails, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Kentucky won that game. But they scored, I think, 35
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter, and the total came through.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't shock me if this game gets into the 60s.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't shock. Now, I think LSU should win again,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: but this is not going to be an easy game
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: in Lexington. Crazy things happen on a Saturday night, like
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: when Florida or LSU go to Lexington at night. It's crazy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I'm hesitant. I lean to LSU, but don't love it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: USC, Penn State. And, you know, I felt like coming
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: into the season, this was teed up for Penn State.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The schedule is pretty manageable. You know, they've got talent.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: They brought a lot of talent in from Iowa State. But, man,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: they have really stunk it up here early. USC needs
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to stay alive here in this Big Ten race. Do
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: they do that this weekend traveling across the country?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Man, I don't know. Jake, this game, it wouldn't– on
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning, I'm going to watch it, but if you
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: didn't watch it, and Sunday morning you put it up
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: and Penn State wins 28-21 or USC rolls 50-20, it
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me either way. I'll just say this, though.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: If UCLA picks up the victory on Oregon– How much
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: more pressure is on Lincoln Riley to win this game
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: at night, knowing that UCLA just knocked off Oregon at 330?
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Because that was a team that they had dead to
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: rights in the second half, and they couldn't close it out.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And now his crosstown rival comes in in year one
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and knocks off Dan Lanning. How much pressure is that?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: By default, Jake, I'm going to lean to Penn State.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: They've lost two straight. They don't look good. But we
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: know Lincoln Riley on the road is atrocious. What is he,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: five and eight straight up?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I can't back that type of team. Again, both teams
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: have problems, but I'll take the home team on a
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: whiteout and we'll see what happens. Don't love it, though.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Last week against Mississippi State, Alabama looked like the old
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: form of Alabama. Just went away by that. They put
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: their hand in the dirt. They were able to run
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the football, control the line of scrimmage. At times they
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: were getting pressure with three. Kamara Taylor didn't look good.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: There's some injuries there. But you've got to credit Alabama.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: They looked really good. Georgia has looked really good. This
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: will be their first big test. It hasn't gone well
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: against Alabama. I like Georgia in this because of Gunnar Stockton.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Who do you like in this game?
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I love Georgia. And again, Ole Miss and Georgia are
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: my two best plays for the weekend. I just think this,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: and I've said this, yeah, Kalen DeBoer is 2-1 against Kirby,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: but the last time they played, Kirby shut down Ty Simpson, who,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: by the way, was a first-round draft pick for Sean
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: McVay in L.A. And they completely shut him down 28-7.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I've said from the get-go, I believe personally Georgia's the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: best team in the country. They have done nothing in
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: the first five weeks of the regular season– that lead
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: me to believe that Bama's better. It's not a knock
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: on Bama. Bama's playing very well. But Georgia has not
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: done one thing wrong to lead me off my assessment
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: or my analysis. They're averaging 51 points per game. They're
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: rushing for 213 on the ground. They're averaging well over 4.5
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: yards a carry. Gunnar Stockton's completed 75% of his passes,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: 13 touchdowns, one interception. They're holding opposing offenses to 53
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: rushing yards per game, and all I hear about is Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And granted, Bama knocked off Kamario Taylor, but he still
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: threw for 280. He was a little turnover prone, one touchdown,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: two interceptions. But Bama's beat, and I don't want to
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: take away from the success of Jeff Lebby this year,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: but Bama's owned Mississippi State. It was their 17th straight win. So,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I would much rather go back three weeks
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: ago and look at a passing attack in Florida State
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: that had struggled and put up 377 passing yards on
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: supposedly the best defense in secondary and college football. That's
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: all I heard all offseason. Five-star, five-star, five-star. And they're
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: getting absolutely abused, giving up 221 through the air. So.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Again, yes, Alabama's good. They're 15-1 under DeBoer at home.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: They've won by an average margin of 29.3 points per game.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: But again, I still don't think that Georgia has done
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: nothing to lead me off believing that they're the best
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: college football team in America. And I think that that
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: domination of Oklahoma laying 13-1⁄2 That carries more weight for
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: me than I think other people. I think more people
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: are enamored with the victory over Miss State and the
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: victory over South Carolina and covering against Florida State. But,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could throw Oklahoma in that mix and
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: say defensively they're as good as any one of those teams.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Let me go off the beaten path. A couple more questions.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: We'll get you on your way. We're not talking a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: whole lot about Miami because they haven't played a whole lot.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: You know, great competition. We're not talking about Notre Dame.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Those two will match up next month, end of the month.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: You look at the offensive coordinator for Miami. He came
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: out last week and took a shot at the SEC.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: You can tell there's some frustration maybe in that locker
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: room because they're not getting recognized. Mario Cristobal's been pretty quiet.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Hadn't said a whole lot. Are we– and I say sleeping.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're sleeping on them. It's like Indiana.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: They're getting into the meat of their schedule. Georgia, you
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: said you think is the best team in the country.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. You can definitely make
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that argument. are we not giving Miami and Notre Dame
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: enough credit?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: No, I just think that, hey, we're going to have
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: their chance, right? You know, they're going to square off
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and Notre Dame goes to Provo in a couple of weeks. And,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll see what Florida State does on Friday
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: night against Louisville. They're going to square off in that
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: rivalry in a couple of weeks as well. So we'll
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: get a good gauge about where Miami is. I personally
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: put Georgia one. I would put Miami two. I'm not
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: in the camp of putting Texas two. one or two,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: because I don't think they've shown consistency the way the
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: other two teams have. And again, you play who's on
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: your schedule. Again, Miami's just been as dominant as well.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: The one outlier was they took their foot off the
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: gas against Wake Forest, but still didn't cover but won convincingly.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I think Mensah and Chambliss, and you want to put
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Keelan Russell in that mix now, are the three best
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks right now in college football. But I think Miami
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: has the best defense up there with Georgia, and I
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: think they're going to be there. I think clearly I
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: put Miami's defense better than Notre Dame right now. Notre
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Dame showed some, I want to say, inconsistent. against North
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Carolina last week. They allowed 26 points. I saw that
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: secondary give up some points. We saw week one against
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Colton Joseph where he had some success. They played down
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: to the level of competition. Georgia and Miami have just
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: been head and shoulders. You know, they're pulling away from
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: the competition, but I think all three of those teams
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: will be there for a college football playoff appearance, no
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: matter what transpires.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Lastly, and we've talked a little bit about the Big 12,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: but I went down a Big 12 rabbit hole Monday
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: on my show and I got to looking at it
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and talking about it and saying, hey, look, Texas Tech, BYU, Utah,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: and then maybe Oklahoma State because it looks like they've
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: got this thing going in the right direction. There's not
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of crossover of those teams playing each other.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: You'll get a couple in there. You get the Holy
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: War and some others. Could we see a situation possibly
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: brewing to where three of the four or four of
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the four are at ten wins and better, and then
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a cluster of nine-win teams out
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: of the SEC, the Big Ten, maybe the ACC. to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: where the committee is putting a big predicament here by
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the Big 12.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And, again, we talk about brand recognition and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: we talk about margin of defeat. Let's just use Florida
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: for an example. If they're a two-loss team, and let's
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: just say with Oklahoma State, let's just throw it. And
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Oak State has the win against Oregon. And, you know,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: obviously Florida has the win against Ole Miss. But, you know,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: you look at just where we're at now, and, you know,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Florida got blown out by Missouri. So if we're going
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: to say that type of situation and Oak State has
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: two losses and they're small and marginal, their first loss
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: came against Tulsa by 14 points, I think the committee
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: would have a decision to make. You know, now the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: SEC would be like, hey, we're the best conference. We
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: play top 25 ranked opponents each and every week. But,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I said it to you last week, if
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Iowa gets the win over Ohio State, they're a shoo-in.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Meaning as long as they have two losses, they're a shoo-in.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Two or less. Same thing with Nebraska. Nebraska now picks
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: up this victory, and they only have two losses, and
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: it's between Nebraska and Oregon? I would take Nebraska and
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: it's not a knock against Oregon. It's just, you were
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: a 23 and a half point road favorite over an
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: unranked Oklahoma state team. I don't care where Oak state finishes.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: When you played them, they were unranked and you didn't
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: step up. You took that game for granted. And that's,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: that's what makes, you know, the controversies, what drives the sport,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: but I would be in that camp. I am. I, I, yeah,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not just a shoe into, are we going to give,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: if A & M runs the table, are we giving
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: A & M the benefit of the doubt getting blown
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: out in two games? You know, as a, as a
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: 10 point dog, a favorite, a 14 point favorite to Kentucky,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: you lose by 10. As an eight and a half
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: point dog, you lose by 29 to LSU. Can't do it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: You got to lose close.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: You got to, the real, and let's not forget the
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: reason why Notre Dame was in the conversation was, was
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: not just because they lost their first two games at
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: 110 straight, but those two losses came by a total
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: combined of four points. You know, nobody was going to
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: be talking about Notre Dame if they lost those first
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: two games by 35 or 40 points, right? It was
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: because of the narrow margins, why they were in the
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: conversation as a 10 and two football team.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Lastly, um, broad scope from college football,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: all the stuff's going on Capitol Hill. We'll see if
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: this thing passes. I don't have a whole lot of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: faith in it. Southern Miss gets beat last night by Troy.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: And I bring that. It was bad, really bad. And
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: we're seeing now numbers come out and I can't remember
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the exact numbers three and 73, meaning, Hey, the, the,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: the group of six versus the power four, we're seeing
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: numbers like never before. Nobody's talking about what do we
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: do with a group of six and, You know, we're
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: going to 24 probably on this playoff. That looks like
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: that's trending, and it's where we're going to go in
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the future, in the near future. Excuse me. But nobody's
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: talking about the group of six. When are we going
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: to start talking about the group of six and an
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: actual put them in a bucket by themselves, let them
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: play a championship, and you may think I'm crazy here,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: but nobody's talking about it because the disparity between the two,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: group of six and power four, is as wide as
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: it's ever gotten or been, and it's going to only
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: get bigger.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because NIL, right? You know, now you have kids
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: going from the group of six schools and getting the
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: bag of cash. And now it's very difficult to keep
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: those kids home. And, you know, it's almost like the NIT.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Do we create an NIT for the group of six teams?
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: You know, but ultimately that'll get phased out. Or, you know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunate, but do you take like, do you merge
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: the FCS top 24 teams in the FCS with the,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: with the group of six, it sounds crazy, but you
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: want competition. You want parody. You want, you want to
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: see what we're seeing in the power for each and
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: every week. And we're not getting that anymore. And that's
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: the problem is I love the sport. I love the
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: bowl games. We're just killing everything as we go. You know,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I said to you, let's keep it at 12, but
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you know, army and Navy deserve a piece of the
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: table too, because they're a unique situation and air force
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: where I would love to see in a, a one-game
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: situation and scenario where a team has to defend the
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: triple option on a one-game turnaround. That's very difficult. You know,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: where anything can happen. I think we need that back
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: for the sport. You know, I just don't want to
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: see Bama and Georgia play every year. I want to
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: see an opportunity, but I want to see it on
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: the football field. I don't want to see scheduling just create,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you know, these easy paths. I want to see the
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: upsets as they play out.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Hey, tell everybody where to find you.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I know you got a lot of stuff going on
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: this week. You guys will be covering all. You'll be
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: wall to wall with it.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Wednesdays I'm on. I just did every Wednesday

• 46:03
  Speaker 2: from Coach Terry Bowden. And then Saturday morning, we bring
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: in the algorithm and the model of It's the model
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: versus the encyclopedia. It's up on X, up on YouTube, 10.30 a.m.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: We go through a majority of the top 25 games,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: and the computer picks seven under-the-radar games. Jake, there's some
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: crazy games. We were covering JMU and Marshall last week.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: We have New Mexico. It was a 5-2 heater, again,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: for the computer, and not just– You know, angles, we
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: go totals, we go teams, team totals. So it's a
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: pretty unique show and love doing it. Fastest hour and
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: a half in college football.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Joseph, always appreciate you. Look, have a great week. Enjoy
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the game. So we'll do it again next week.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: You too, brother. Love the show.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Joseph Lissy on your live
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: stream tonight. Before we break, let me tell you about
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: the high school football action. There are several movements in
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: high school football around the state as some games are
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: getting moved to tomorrow night because of potential storms. Biggest
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: games of the week, courtesy of Mississippi Gridiron, you got
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: number seven, Oak Grove, four and one versus number two, Petal,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: six and oh. Battle of the Pine Belt, always a
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: good one, one of the biggest rivalries in the state.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I like Oak Grove to win this ballgame, though. Brandon Shields,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: courtesy of Mississippi Gridiron with Chris Brooks, they have Oak
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Grove winning a shootout, 42 to 35. Germantown is three
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: and two. They're headed to Starkville. Big Region 2-7-8 game
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: in the state. Starkville's four and one. I like Starkville
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: getting the win. Starkville starting to find their sea legs
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: under first-year head coach Brett Morgan, who comes over from
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: West Point. Starkville 28, Germantown 21. Gulfport, 4-1, takes on St.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: Martin.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: St. Martin is 6-0. Shout-out to St. Martin on the coast,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: but I still think Gulfport is too strong under Blake Pinnock.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I like Gulfport to win. So does Brandon Shields and
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Mississippi Gridiron with Chris Brooks, 38-20. New Hope, 3-2, takes
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: on Lafayette, 5-1. Lafayette should roll in this ballgame. Shields
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: has them 27-20. Also, Louisville. Louisville. I did it again. Louisville,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the Wildcats, not the Cardinals, takes on Kosciuszko and the Whippets.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Whippets 6-0, Louisville 4-2. Shout-out Breck Riley and everything going
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: on up there in Kosciuszko. Caden Wade, what a story,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: playing in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game. Louisville, though, give me
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: the cats here. Shields likes the cats, 27-21. Also, Clarksdale
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: taking on Senatobia. Clarksdale, 4-2. Senatobia, 6-0. Senatobia is rolling.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Let them roll on, 26-19. Also, Columbia, 4-2. Takes on Macomb, 4-2.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Macomb lost a heartbreaker last week in a shootout. Double
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: overtime game against Picayune. Check that. Poplarville. This week, cats
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of Macomb bounce back, 32-26. And speaking of big ball games,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Mendenhall is rolling down South 49. They take on Morton
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: at 5-1. They travel across up 49 over to 28.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: But I like Mendenhall and what they're doing with the
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Tigers at Mendenhall. Mendenhall, 30-23. Knoxville County, Winona, this won't
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: be the only time they play. They'll play again. Knoxville, 5-1. Winona, 6-0.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I like Winona, though, to win, 34-24. And you got
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Jackson Prep, 6-1. They got the big win over Jackson
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Academy last week, taking on Hartfield. They travel up the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: road on Highway 25, Lakeland Drive, to take on the Hawks.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: I like Prep to continue the run. Show the Shields, 28-17.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: So a lot of teams off this week. I actually
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: get a thrill this week and kind of a gift.
