- 0:00Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself. We're on OWN
- 0:05Speaker 1: seven run over the last two days after tonight it
- 0:08Speaker 1: was just complete bullshit. So that's that's what I'm gonna
- 0:11Speaker 1: start off this show, horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:14Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you above that. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:19Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two
- 0:24Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four
- 0:27Speaker 1: that have not had a good season. Man with bookends
- 0:33Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues, I've
- 0:37Speaker 1: reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
- 0:40Speaker 1: bruins hat Man. I don't know what is going on
- 0:43Speaker 1: with the Bruins arch hape. Is that what it is?
- 0:46Speaker 1: I don't even know it's It's March ninth, I think
- 0:49Speaker 1: who even knows? Man, I don't know what day is anymore.
- 0:52Speaker 1: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 0:54Speaker 1: back with you after the worst day that I could
- 0:58Speaker 1: possibly have, Back with you as I always am until
- 1:02Speaker 1: I die, at least ohe and two Yesterday and yesterday
- 1:06Speaker 1: it did not go well for me. Own five, the
- 1:09Speaker 1: worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen years
- 1:12Speaker 1: doing this. I don't know what to even tell you
- 1:14Speaker 1: about this anymore. The slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what
- 1:24Speaker 1: I should do at this point, other than potentially end
- 1:27Speaker 1: it all. What's up for? It's towed back with you
- 1:34Speaker 1: with Toad Steel Sports. I don't even know why I'm
- 1:37Speaker 1: still here. I don't know why I'm doing this. I
- 1:39Speaker 1: was seriously considering just not even showing up, not even
- 1:43Speaker 1: doing this. I hate this show. I hate myself, I
- 1:48Speaker 1: hate my life, I hate everything about this h I
- 1:53Speaker 1: hate the board today. The board is overwhelming. I don't
- 1:56Speaker 1: even know what I'm doing anymore. I'm gonna give about
- 1:58Speaker 1: ten plays. I don't I don't really want to have
- 2:01Speaker 1: a long show here. I want to go fast. I
- 2:05Speaker 1: don't want to talk about every game. I just don't
- 2:08Speaker 1: want to do it. Everything is fucking bullshit. South Florida
- 2:13Speaker 1: yesterday actually covered if you or they pushed excuse me,
- 2:16Speaker 1: if you got the best number on it. They were
- 2:18Speaker 1: losing by double digits at the half, so they were
- 2:20Speaker 1: in a massive hole. They wound up winning by six
- 2:23Speaker 1: in overtime. So if you got right on it when
- 2:27Speaker 1: I gave it out, I think you may have gotten
- 2:29Speaker 1: the better number. Maybe it was already gone by them.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else to say about that.
- 2:36Speaker 1: These college basketball lines moved way too fast. It was
- 2:38Speaker 1: a push at the number that I got. And then
- 2:42Speaker 1: the football game last night. Football was horrendous yesterday, Dude,
- 2:47Speaker 1: Do I want to take an own three in like
- 2:49Speaker 1: my picking pools? No, my pick five? At least I
- 2:53Speaker 1: only had Baltimore and I didn't have the other games
- 2:56Speaker 1: in it. And that game was unbelievably misleading. I mean, statistically,
- 3:01Speaker 1: yardage wise, the game was close, but also Baltimore had
- 3:05Speaker 1: like a one point three yards per play edge in
- 3:08Speaker 1: the game, Like the Baltimore had like over six yards
- 3:12Speaker 1: per play in the game, and Cincinnati had like four
- 3:15Speaker 1: or four point whatever, four point eight maybe whatever it was. Uh,
- 3:19Speaker 1: Baltimore was the better team in the game. It's just
- 3:21Speaker 1: they had like five or six turnovers and about half
- 3:25Speaker 1: of them were a little bullshit. Baltimore was about to
- 3:28Speaker 1: take what would have been an eight point lead in
- 3:30Speaker 1: the second quarter. They would have been up eight if
- 3:32Speaker 1: they got the extra point, and instead it was a
- 3:35Speaker 1: fumble into the end zone. So another play where you
- 3:38Speaker 1: have a touchdown basically and just a matter of inches
- 3:41Speaker 1: and it gets fumbled into the end zone instead, and
- 3:43Speaker 1: it was initially ruled its touchdown, and the touchback rule
- 3:47Speaker 1: is the worst rule in any professional sport. How can
- 3:50Speaker 1: you go from an inch away from the goal line
- 3:53Speaker 1: to no longer even having possession And it's like a
- 3:56Speaker 1: fourteen point swing in the game. Fuck you, that rules
- 4:00Speaker 1: did not happen. Then there was that other play where
- 4:02Speaker 1: one of like whatever four or five fumbles for the
- 4:07Speaker 1: Ravens also fumbles, by the way, they're random essentially as
- 4:10Speaker 1: far as who recovers it, and it was like the
- 4:12Speaker 1: Ravens didn't recover any of them. They had more lost
- 4:15Speaker 1: fumbles than like any team in any game this year.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And one of them was not even a fumble. If
- 4:21Speaker 1: you saw that, it was absolutely forward motion on Lamar
- 4:24Speaker 1: Jackson's arm and they call it a fumble makes no sense.
- 4:29Speaker 1: It was clearly an incomplete pass. It wasn't even close.
- 4:32Speaker 1: And then there was another play where a Ze Flowers
- 4:36Speaker 1: little bit of a push and they call offensive pass
- 4:38Speaker 1: interference taking away a touchdown from the Ravens. That was
- 4:42Speaker 1: earlier on. I think that would have been a play
- 4:45Speaker 1: that would have put them up by I think there
- 4:47Speaker 1: would have been back up six maybe if if that
- 4:51Speaker 1: had happened, or five, I guess if that had happened,
- 4:52Speaker 1: whatever it was, And Jamar Chase was doing that all
- 4:56Speaker 1: fucking game, So if you're gonna call that, you better
- 4:59Speaker 1: call it evenly and calling them both teams fuck you,
- 5:03Speaker 1: Like every team was doing that yesterday. Every single team
- 5:06Speaker 1: was doing it. And the only time it gets called
- 5:08Speaker 1: is when Zay Flowers was like a little bit of
- 5:10Speaker 1: a push and it's a touchdown and they have to
- 5:13Speaker 1: take the touchdown away because the refs have to rig
- 5:15Speaker 1: the fucking game. That game was not what it looked
- 5:18Speaker 1: like at all. It was the most frustrating game that
- 5:20Speaker 1: I've ever fucking seen. And then even though Baltimore was
- 5:24Speaker 1: moving the ball pretty well against Cincinnati's travesty of a
- 5:27Speaker 1: fucking defense, they it didn't result in any fucking points.
- 5:33Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. It's fucking ridiculous. And Cincinnati's offense wasn't great
- 5:38Speaker 1: with borrowback, I mean it was better ish, but the
- 5:41Speaker 1: whole part of that handicap was Baltimore is gonna score
- 5:44Speaker 1: a ton of fucking points here, and the points just
- 5:46Speaker 1: kept getting taken off the board in every way possible.
- 5:50Speaker 1: It's fucking insane. Baltimore should have at least topped thirty
- 5:53Speaker 1: points in that game. It's it's so bad. I don't
- 5:57Speaker 1: want to talk about it anymore. I'm never gonna talk
- 5:59Speaker 1: about about it again. What's up, everybody, Jeffrey Charles. This
- 6:05Speaker 1: is not a party. This is gonna be like a funeral.
- 6:08Speaker 1: SOB what's up? Fuck South Florida. The number that I
- 6:14Speaker 1: gave it out at, like I said, was a push,
- 6:16Speaker 1: But what what can you do? College basketball? These lines move?
- 6:20Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about college basketball right now. I don't
- 6:23Speaker 1: even want to do it. There's a game coming up
- 6:25Speaker 1: in an hour at ten thirty am Eastern for some
- 6:28Speaker 1: fucking reason in the Bahamas between Virginia Tech and VCU,
- 6:33Speaker 1: which my assumtion would be the VCU kind of has
- 6:38Speaker 1: like they kind of want to show up in a
- 6:39Speaker 1: game against one of the bigger Virginia schools, little brother,
- 6:43Speaker 1: big brother situation. However, VCU has been better than Virginia
- 6:47Speaker 1: Tech the last multiple years, like it's been a while,
- 6:50Speaker 1: so maybe Virginia Tech kind of is assuming the role
- 6:54Speaker 1: of the little brother. Now I don't want anything to
- 6:57Speaker 1: do with this game. VCU lost to Vandy yesterday, which
- 7:02Speaker 1: I mentioned. Vandy was a lean yesterday, but of course
- 7:05Speaker 1: that was not one of my plays they covered. Virginia
- 7:08Speaker 1: Tech had a tougher game yesterday, losing to Saint Mary's
- 7:12Speaker 1: and not only that, but that ended their undefeated season,
- 7:16Speaker 1: although they haven't really faced anybody good yet except Providence.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I guess if you even want to call them good,
- 7:22Speaker 1: So Virginia Tech, I think they're kind of in the
- 7:24Speaker 1: worst spot because they had a tougher game yesterday against
- 7:26Speaker 1: a better opponent. Well, actually I don't know, is Saint Mary's.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about that. Maybe Saint Mary's is actually
- 7:33Speaker 1: not better than Vandy anymore. It's been so long since
- 7:36Speaker 1: that hasn't been the case though. But Saint Mary's does
- 7:40Speaker 1: play like a more kind of physical, slow down, deepense,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and the fact that that was their first loss that
- 7:45Speaker 1: could hang them over into this game. My lean in
- 7:47Speaker 1: this game would be to VCU, but it's not strong.
- 7:50Speaker 1: The money does agree with it. They're up to two
- 7:52Speaker 1: and a half already from a one point favorite. When
- 7:54Speaker 1: I looked like a half an hour ago. Basically it
- 7:57Speaker 1: was one and a half. So again, college basketball lines
- 8:01Speaker 1: don't listen to me. Just I don't know. Just get
- 8:05Speaker 1: into my head, do what I do, and play the
- 8:06Speaker 1: game before I even talk about it on the show,
- 8:08Speaker 1: because otherwise you're not gonna get as much line value.
- 8:11Speaker 1: There's nothing I can fucking do about it unless I'm
- 8:14Speaker 1: gonna do the shows overnight, which fuck that, I'm not
- 8:16Speaker 1: gonna do that. Seventy one percent of the tickets on
- 8:19Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, ninety three percent of the cash on VCU
- 8:22Speaker 1: money agrees with me. Whatever, noon, we have number one
- 8:27Speaker 1: perdue against This just a joke of an Eastern Illinois team.
- 8:31Speaker 1: But Purdue is technically in a bad spot because they
- 8:34Speaker 1: did just beat Texas Tech. They just won whatever the
- 8:36Speaker 1: hell of this tournament is that they were in. I
- 8:38Speaker 1: think I don't even know what it was. Don't really care.
- 8:41Speaker 1: The Baha Mahr and the Bahamas. They do have Rutgers next,
- 8:46Speaker 1: so they do start Big ten playing next, and then
- 8:48Speaker 1: a bunch of other big opponents up next. So this
- 8:50Speaker 1: is a game that they could just want to get in,
- 8:52Speaker 1: get out, not really put in a full effort in
- 8:55Speaker 1: the game. They don't need to to win the game.
- 8:58Speaker 1: It's a bigger game for Eastern Illinois if they can
- 9:00Speaker 1: even try to compete with Purdue. But Purdue, you're asking
- 9:04Speaker 1: them to cover like a forty something point spread here,
- 9:06Speaker 1: and Purdue does play slow as well. So I would
- 9:09Speaker 1: take the points in this game. Do I really want
- 9:11Speaker 1: to do it? No? But produe's down to a forty
- 9:14Speaker 1: point fave right, sixty percent of ticket, seventy two percent
- 9:17Speaker 1: of the cash on them. I mean, I don't love
- 9:20Speaker 1: the idea of having money on a team as bad
- 9:21Speaker 1: as Eastern Illinois, but I just don't really see much
- 9:24Speaker 1: of an incentive for Purdue. And the totals low at
- 9:27Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one and a half, you think
- 9:28Speaker 1: they're gonna win this game by forty like you're basically
- 9:31Speaker 1: asking like for that to happen, Eastern Illinois would have
- 9:34Speaker 1: to not even get to like fifty in the game,
- 9:36Speaker 1: which I mean, it's definitely possible, but I don't I
- 9:39Speaker 1: don't really see it happening. Purdue is actually not as
- 9:42Speaker 1: good defensively as they are offensively, even though they play slow.
- 9:46Speaker 1: H Northeastern is playing wake Forest in Winston Salems this
- 9:50Speaker 1: is at Wake Forest Wake Forest easy game against Campbell
- 9:55Speaker 1: after you thought maybe they would be in kind of
- 9:57Speaker 1: a hangover spot, let downs, spot, whatever after playing Texas
- 10:01Speaker 1: Tech and Memphis in that Bahama tournament. Didn't matter, they
- 10:04Speaker 1: came back, they won anyway, Maybe they look ahead because
- 10:07Speaker 1: they got Oklahoma West Virginia up after this, so probably
- 10:12Speaker 1: not the greatest spot for Wake here. Northeastern is also
- 10:15Speaker 1: coming off a big win though, They just pulled off
- 10:17Speaker 1: I believe, an upset over Ducane, so that's kind of
- 10:20Speaker 1: a big win too, and now they're gonna go out
- 10:22Speaker 1: on the road after that, although you got to expect
- 10:24Speaker 1: the least show up for a game against an ACC
- 10:27Speaker 1: team like Wake, although both teams are in somewhat bad spots.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I would probably take the points with Northeastern, but not
- 10:33Speaker 1: a strong opinion at all. Eighty to nine percent of
- 10:36Speaker 1: the tickets, ninety two percent of the cash on Wake,
- 10:38Speaker 1: they're very public side down slightly to eighteen and a half.
- 10:42Speaker 1: We have a really big game at twelve thirty on
- 10:45Speaker 1: Fox at Madison Square Garden between number five Yukon, number
- 10:49Speaker 1: thirteen Illinois. This game it's closer to Yukon obviously, Yukon's
- 10:55Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of I think they're gonna have
- 10:56Speaker 1: a pretty decent amount of crowd support. But as I
- 10:59Speaker 1: point out, Yukon, like their biggest home advantage obviously is
- 11:03Speaker 1: the arena on their actual campus. Like when they go
- 11:07Speaker 1: to these bigger arenas, they get like kind of the
- 11:09Speaker 1: rich New england Ers whatever in the area that kind
- 11:12Speaker 1: of show up for it. Whatever. Still I kind of
- 11:16Speaker 1: lean towards Yukon here. I mean, they're the better team
- 11:18Speaker 1: and they're gonna be the team that's gonna try to
- 11:20Speaker 1: slow it down and frustrate Illinois because Illinois wants to
- 11:23Speaker 1: play fast. I'd probably be looking towards Yukon in this one. Yukon.
- 11:29Speaker 1: They just had an easy win over Bryant where they
- 11:32Speaker 1: won by a lot and still didn't even cover. And
- 11:34Speaker 1: that was a win for us on the show because
- 11:35Speaker 1: I just expected Yukon to just kind of go through
- 11:38Speaker 1: the motions and not care and that is pretty much
- 11:41Speaker 1: what happened, and they won anyway, it didn't even matter. Illinois.
- 11:45Speaker 1: They're a good team this year. They're off to a
- 11:47Speaker 1: decent start here, and they had kind of a lackluster
- 11:49Speaker 1: game in their last game against ut Rio Grande Valley
- 11:53Speaker 1: where that was the game where again I thought Illinois
- 11:56Speaker 1: was probably just gonna not have to put in a
- 11:58Speaker 1: full effort, and they only won by fourteen, and they
- 12:00Speaker 1: were probably more than a thirty point favorite. I would
- 12:03Speaker 1: guess in that game they were I think, clearly looking
- 12:05Speaker 1: ahead and they just knew they could just get in
- 12:08Speaker 1: get out of that game with a win and not care.
- 12:10Speaker 1: So both teams are coming off uninspiring performances, which I
- 12:14Speaker 1: think basically means you're gonna get. You're gonna get. Both
- 12:17Speaker 1: teams showing up in this game. Connecticut has already have
- 12:19Speaker 1: from two to four on the line though, so again
- 12:22Speaker 1: line value gone eighty percent of the tickets and cash
- 12:25Speaker 1: on them, so they're public. But the money's coming in
- 12:28Speaker 1: towards the under, and this is a game where Yukon
- 12:30Speaker 1: is correlated to the under in my opinion, because they're
- 12:34Speaker 1: the team that plays slow. Illinois wants to speed the
- 12:36Speaker 1: game up, so I think Illinois would be correlated to
- 12:39Speaker 1: an over. I think the fact that the money is
- 12:41Speaker 1: coming in on both the under and seemingly on the
- 12:43Speaker 1: Yukon side at least to move that line, even though
- 12:46Speaker 1: they do look public as well. I think Yukon is
- 12:48Speaker 1: the correct side in that game. Do I want anything
- 12:52Speaker 1: to do with it? Absolutely not. Rio Grande Valley. Yeah,
- 12:57Speaker 1: they're the the Caros, which I don't know what are vacaras.
- 13:02Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know, they're like cowboys, They're ranchers
- 13:06Speaker 1: or something. I have no fucking idea. Saint Mary's in
- 13:09Speaker 1: Vandy this is the one that I was kind of
- 13:11Speaker 1: referring to a little while ago in the Bahamas. Kind
- 13:14Speaker 1: of an interesting one. This might be the championship game
- 13:17Speaker 1: in this thing, yet is in the Battle for Atlantis,
- 13:19Speaker 1: So once you get to the championship, I mean, you
- 13:22Speaker 1: kind of expect both teams are going to show up
- 13:24Speaker 1: for this. But it's an interesting one because Vandy this
- 13:29Speaker 1: is actually tournament revenge and it gets to happen in
- 13:32Speaker 1: a in one of these early season tournament challenges or whatever.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Saint Mary's eliminated Vandy from the tournament last year, like
- 13:41Speaker 1: the actual March Madness tournament, so Vandy, interestingly, they get
- 13:45Speaker 1: to match up against against Saint Mary's here, So I
- 13:48Speaker 1: think Vandy is probably gonna come into this with a
- 13:50Speaker 1: little bit more focus. But are these teams so different
- 13:54Speaker 1: from last year that Vandy deserves to be a three
- 13:57Speaker 1: and a half point favorite here, whereas last year Saint
- 13:59Speaker 1: Mary's was a four and a half point favorite against
- 14:01Speaker 1: them on a neutral, Like, have these teams profiles changed,
- 14:05Speaker 1: so much of the line should change? Whatever that is
- 14:08Speaker 1: eight points, I'm not entirely sure about that. I mean,
- 14:14Speaker 1: both teams are coming off wins yesterday, obviously because they
- 14:16Speaker 1: both advanced in this tournament. Saint Mary's more impressive win
- 14:20Speaker 1: over Virginia Tech. But did that take more out of them?
- 14:23Speaker 1: Maybe Vandy only had to beat Western Kintuck or no,
- 14:26Speaker 1: they excuse me. They beat VCU yesterday, so my mistake.
- 14:29Speaker 1: VCU is actually a pretty good team, so that's an
- 14:31Speaker 1: impressive win as well, So never mind. So both teams
- 14:35Speaker 1: really kind of in a similar spot here. It's just
- 14:37Speaker 1: that Vandy is playing with that tournament revenge. But throw
- 14:41Speaker 1: up to a three and a half point favorite, and
- 14:42Speaker 1: the money's coming back on Saint Mary's sixty eight percent
- 14:45Speaker 1: of the tickets on Vandy, seventy three percent of the
- 14:47Speaker 1: cash on Saint Mary's, the money taking the points to
- 14:50Speaker 1: Saint Mary's. Osmager's telling you Vandy is the better team, right, now,
- 14:54Speaker 1: and if that's the case, I think it's very slight,
- 14:57Speaker 1: Like I don't know if they deserve to be this
- 14:59Speaker 1: much of a favorite. Ken does have them six ranking
- 15:01Speaker 1: spots higher. But the other thing is that Saint Mary's
- 15:04Speaker 1: profiles is a good underdog because they play good defense
- 15:07Speaker 1: and they slow the game way down. Vandy is the opposite.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Vandy is offense and fast, so it's gonna be this
- 15:13Speaker 1: weird pacing collision. So again, it's a game where there's
- 15:17Speaker 1: gonna be probably you get. Vandy is correlated to an over.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Saint Mary's is correlated to an under. In this game,
- 15:23Speaker 1: the money is coming in on the under. I mean,
- 15:27Speaker 1: my first glance at this, I wanted to lean into
- 15:29Speaker 1: the revenge angle for Vandy, but I don't know. The
- 15:32Speaker 1: more I look at how the Marcus shaping up, the
- 15:34Speaker 1: more I look at it, and the fact that the
- 15:36Speaker 1: number seems too high, I would probably take the points
- 15:39Speaker 1: with Saint Mary's, but I really don't love it. I mean,
- 15:41Speaker 1: that revenge angle is gonna still be there. The Cowboys, Yeah,
- 15:47Speaker 1: not the Dallas Cowboys. Let's not. Let's not talk about
- 15:50Speaker 1: those fuckers. San Francisco is playing Nevada here. San Francisco
- 15:56Speaker 1: took a loss yesterday and whatever this tournament is, the
- 15:58Speaker 1: Children's Hospital whatever thing in Palm Springs, California. San Francisco
- 16:05Speaker 1: just lost along wind Streak as well. They lost to
- 16:07Speaker 1: Colorado yesterday. San Francisco is actually the favorite in the game,
- 16:10Speaker 1: so I could see this kind of going both ways,
- 16:12Speaker 1: because yeah, they were the favorite, but that's still kind
- 16:15Speaker 1: of a big deal playing a big twelve team. They
- 16:18Speaker 1: lost the game, lost to wind Streak, So is that
- 16:20Speaker 1: gonna hang them over or are they gonna be in
- 16:22Speaker 1: a bounce back spot because they lost as a favorite.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I don't really know. It's hard to gauge, man. When
- 16:28Speaker 1: I see, like, you know, like the way that I
- 16:30Speaker 1: look at these things, they kind of conflict with each other.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I was correct about Washington yesterday. By the way, is
- 16:36Speaker 1: Washington bounced back nicely from that really ugly game against
- 16:39Speaker 1: Southern They beat Nevada pretty easily and covered easily as well.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Should have given it out as a play, but I
- 16:46Speaker 1: did not. I don't know. I just didn't feel strongly
- 16:49Speaker 1: enough about it. So Nevada's coming off that ugly loss,
- 16:53Speaker 1: does that mean it's gonna set up better for them? Here?
- 16:56Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to say that, because
- 16:58Speaker 1: even though Nevada has this kind of name recognition in basketball,
- 17:01Speaker 1: because they seem to always kind of be in there
- 17:04Speaker 1: in the tournament, whatever, San Francisco is the better team.
- 17:07Speaker 1: The oddsmakers are telling you that, like Nevada's down this year,
- 17:10Speaker 1: in San Francisco probably gonna be competitive at least in
- 17:14Speaker 1: their conference there. They're up from five to six now,
- 17:17Speaker 1: So there the money looks like it's coming in on
- 17:19Speaker 1: San Francisco. I don't know if I love the spot
- 17:22Speaker 1: for it, but I'm not really gonna disagree with it either,
- 17:24Speaker 1: So probably I would agree with it with San Francisco.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Cleveland State is playing Missouri at Missouri. But Missouri, you
- 17:34Speaker 1: could argue they have a look ahead to North Dakota
- 17:36Speaker 1: or North Dakota, a Notre Dame and at Kansas. Uh,
- 17:40Speaker 1: those are yeah, bigger games, clearly, I don't know. Uh,
- 17:44Speaker 1: that's really the only like situational angle I see in
- 17:47Speaker 1: this game. Uh. Cleveland State did end their a lost
- 17:50Speaker 1: street with the win over some non Division one teams
- 17:53Speaker 1: that'll at least give them momentum and probably won't make
- 17:56Speaker 1: them over confident. I would probably lean towards taking the
- 17:59Speaker 1: points the Cleveland State, but I mean the number has
- 18:03Speaker 1: gone down for twenty nine and a half to twenty
- 18:04Speaker 1: nine on Missouri, but it is a very high total
- 18:07Speaker 1: because I believe both these teams want to play fast.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Total down to one hundred and seventy could be a
- 18:15Speaker 1: lot of points in that one. I don't love it
- 18:18Speaker 1: at all though, Texas State Seattle. I was close to
- 18:21Speaker 1: giving this one out. This game is in Las Vegas,
- 18:24Speaker 1: and that's the reason why I have some hesitations with
- 18:26Speaker 1: the Texas State side here, because that is the side
- 18:29Speaker 1: that I do like in this one. But it has
- 18:31Speaker 1: not made my card. And most of it hinges on
- 18:34Speaker 1: the fact that Seattle just had their first true road
- 18:36Speaker 1: game and they pulled off an upset at Stanford. That's
- 18:40Speaker 1: a big win, dude. I mean, Stanford maybe they're not
- 18:43Speaker 1: great right now. I mean, they've had decent histories of
- 18:46Speaker 1: basketball program, and they were double digit favorites here against
- 18:49Speaker 1: Seattle at home, and they're inn acc teams, which sounds
- 18:53Speaker 1: still very weird to me. Seattle pulled off that big upset.
- 18:57Speaker 1: They were actually losing the game by double digits and
- 19:00Speaker 1: they came back and won the game. Seems like a
- 19:02Speaker 1: bit of an outlier though Stanford had a horrible shooting
- 19:05Speaker 1: game thirty seven percent from the field twenty eight percent
- 19:08Speaker 1: from three. Seattle is forty four percent from three, so
- 19:13Speaker 1: loose like kind of a fluke could set them up
- 19:15Speaker 1: for a let down here, man, So I'd be looking
- 19:16Speaker 1: to take the points with Texas State in the in
- 19:19Speaker 1: the Resorts World Classic in Las Vegas. Too many Las
- 19:23Speaker 1: Vegas tournaments going on. Texas State has some momentum right now.
- 19:27Speaker 1: They've won five games in a row, but mostly beating
- 19:30Speaker 1: not great teams, and they're coming off a win over
- 19:32Speaker 1: some non Division one team, but that will give them momentum.
- 19:36Speaker 1: I like Texas State, but the only issue I have
- 19:38Speaker 1: with this is how are they gonna respond to playing
- 19:42Speaker 1: in the Pacific time zone for the first time this year,
- 19:44Speaker 1: which they have not done. They've stayed I believe they've
- 19:47Speaker 1: been the Central times on the entire season so far,
- 19:51Speaker 1: and so not only do they have to do that,
- 19:53Speaker 1: although at least it's an early game for them, so
- 19:55Speaker 1: that's not as bad. But the other thing is it's
- 19:58Speaker 1: an afternoon game, so that's five issue. The other thing
- 20:00Speaker 1: is are they gonna get distracted? By Las Vegas because
- 20:05Speaker 1: Seattle is much more used to playing there because they're
- 20:07Speaker 1: in the Whack, which is whack but the Whack or no, sorry,
- 20:10Speaker 1: they're in the WCCN Now, I didn't even realize that
- 20:12Speaker 1: they moved into the WCC. But either way, both of
- 20:17Speaker 1: those conferences actually play their conference tournaments in Las Vegas,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and Seattle has been in the Whack, so they're used
- 20:23Speaker 1: to playing in Las Vegas and they're actually staying in
- 20:25Speaker 1: the Pacific time zone. Well yeah, I mean, obviously they
- 20:29Speaker 1: played in the Pacific times on all season, I believe
- 20:31Speaker 1: because they're in Seattle, so and they made that one
- 20:34Speaker 1: road trip to Stanford whatever. I can't quite get there
- 20:38Speaker 1: with this one, but I do like the Texas State
- 20:40Speaker 1: side in the game. Seattle has gone up from a
- 20:43Speaker 1: six point favorite to seven point favorite with juice, though
- 20:46Speaker 1: low to a very low and one hundred and thirty
- 20:48Speaker 1: six and a half. That's the other thing Seattle, they
- 20:51Speaker 1: do not profile well is a big favorite because they
- 20:53Speaker 1: play pretty slow. They play ugly, so they don't cover
- 20:57Speaker 1: huge numbers as often. Another reason maybe to look towards
- 21:01Speaker 1: Texas State. I like it, but I have some stronger
- 21:04Speaker 1: opinions on some other games, and I just worry about
- 21:08Speaker 1: the location as well. In that one, Oklahoma Marquette, pretty
- 21:13Speaker 1: big game in the afternoon on NBC. Of course, the
- 21:16Speaker 1: show is gonna still take forever, even though I don't
- 21:18Speaker 1: want it to. I hate it. I hate it. I
- 21:21Speaker 1: fucking hate it. Oklahoma coming off an easy win over
- 21:25Speaker 1: alcorn State where I assume they didn't cover. I mean,
- 21:27Speaker 1: it was not an impressive performance there. Marquette, they're coming
- 21:31Speaker 1: off a win that's gonna give them a nice bounce
- 21:33Speaker 1: back and end a lost streak that they had beating
- 21:36Speaker 1: Central Michigan. But with Marquette, they haven't stepped up well
- 21:39Speaker 1: in class man. They faced three Power Conference teams so
- 21:42Speaker 1: far and they've lost two and they lost them both
- 21:45Speaker 1: to Indiana and Maryland. And then they face Dayton, who
- 21:49Speaker 1: Dayton's a fairly strong team, but they're not really a
- 21:52Speaker 1: power conference. They're in the A ten. But Marquette lost
- 21:55Speaker 1: that game too. So Marquette, when they've stepped up in
- 21:57Speaker 1: class they have not played well this year, which is
- 22:00Speaker 1: not great. This is in the Bad Boy Mowers series
- 22:03Speaker 1: in Chicago. So the location is more helpful to Marquette
- 22:07Speaker 1: because they're like a Milwaukee School, so they are closer Oklahoma.
- 22:11Speaker 1: They've lost to both Power Conference teams as well, but
- 22:14Speaker 1: one of them was on the like a true road
- 22:16Speaker 1: game at Gonzaga. I mean, I didn't expect them to
- 22:19Speaker 1: win that game Gonzaga. Despite what happened the other night,
- 22:21Speaker 1: they're still elite in my opinion. Oklahoma also lost a
- 22:26Speaker 1: close one in Kansas City, I think against Nebraska. I forget.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Maybe that wasn't in Kansas City, I forget, but Nebraska,
- 22:33Speaker 1: I mean they're an Okay team as well. Not gonna
- 22:36Speaker 1: really give Oklahoma too much crap for that, but yeah,
- 22:39Speaker 1: I mean you can tell them probably, you can probably
- 22:41Speaker 1: tell them leaning towards Oklahoma, and this one the money
- 22:43Speaker 1: seems to agree. They flip from one point dog to
- 22:46Speaker 1: a one and a half point favorite. Marquette is the
- 22:48Speaker 1: public side. People maybe just not buying Oklahoma getting into
- 22:52Speaker 1: the tournament last year, maybe forgetting that they did, because
- 22:56Speaker 1: Oklahoma had a really good non conference part of the
- 23:00Speaker 1: schedule last year where they were really really hot, and
- 23:02Speaker 1: then they weren't as good an SEC play last year
- 23:05Speaker 1: and then people just kind of forgot about them. But
- 23:07Speaker 1: they still made the tournament and they got bounced right
- 23:09Speaker 1: away by Yukon. So people I think give Marquette more
- 23:13Speaker 1: credit because they look pretty decent in the Big East.
- 23:17Speaker 1: They have for the last few years, and they've made
- 23:19Speaker 1: the tournament all those seasons. But I think Marquette's a
- 23:21Speaker 1: little bit on the downswing man so, and Oklahoma seems
- 23:25Speaker 1: to kind of be going on, like moving in the
- 23:28Speaker 1: right direction. So sixty two percent of tickets, fifty one
- 23:31Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Marquette, Marquette's the public side
- 23:34Speaker 1: at basically have picked the winner price my opinion is
- 23:38Speaker 1: Oklahoma and that one we have right state facing Butler,
- 23:43Speaker 1: right states, you know, sort of geographically in the same area.
- 23:47Speaker 1: They're right state. I believe they're in Are they in Ohio?
- 23:50Speaker 1: Is that right? I keep getting it wrong. I think
- 23:52Speaker 1: they're in Ohio. Butler coming off a nice couple of wins.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Man Over Well, they've come off three big games in
- 23:59Speaker 1: a row where they took SMU to within two points
- 24:02Speaker 1: on the road and a true road game beat South Carolina.
- 24:06Speaker 1: I know South Carolina might be the worst or they're
- 24:08Speaker 1: one of the worst two SEC teams, but still it's
- 24:11Speaker 1: an SEC team. Butler beat them, and they beat Virginia
- 24:15Speaker 1: and Virginia seems to be improving a bit, and they
- 24:17Speaker 1: had got a lot of weight behind their name in basketball,
- 24:20Speaker 1: so those are big wins. Now they're coming off all that,
- 24:23Speaker 1: and now they're facing Right State. Could be a spot
- 24:26Speaker 1: where maybe Butler is a little bit hung over here,
- 24:29Speaker 1: maybe you don't get the greatest effort out of them here.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Right State they're on a little mini run here of
- 24:35Speaker 1: two wins, although they only beat a non D one
- 24:37Speaker 1: team and then Stetson, who are quite bad this year.
- 24:41Speaker 1: But you gotta think Right State's gonna show up for
- 24:43Speaker 1: this one because this is a game against a power
- 24:46Speaker 1: conference team. The only other time they faced one this year,
- 24:48Speaker 1: they actually were pretty respectable and as ten point loss
- 24:51Speaker 1: in a true road game I believe at Cow, so
- 24:54Speaker 1: that's a decent sign. I would take the points with
- 24:58Speaker 1: the Right State. But Butler has gone up from fourteen
- 25:00Speaker 1: and a half to sixteen here, and the money looks
- 25:02Speaker 1: like it's on their side for now. Though again don't
- 25:05Speaker 1: want to put much weight into these early reads here,
- 25:08Speaker 1: but sixty two percent of the tickets on Right State,
- 25:10Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the cash on Butler, but I disagree.
- 25:14Speaker 1: I would lean towards right state. We have Providence in
- 25:17Speaker 1: number ten, Florida playing in San Diego and whatever the
- 25:20Speaker 1: hell this tournament is. No, that's the Children's one, the
- 25:23Speaker 1: Jenny Craig one. I don't know. I forget what the
- 25:25Speaker 1: Palm Springs one is. Then who cares Florida. They're number
- 25:29Speaker 1: ten in the country. They took a pretty ugly loss
- 25:32Speaker 1: yesterday to TCU. Man, Florida, they've actually lost. I mean,
- 25:38Speaker 1: losing to Arizona is one thing, because Arizona is a
- 25:40Speaker 1: really good team. But losing to TCU, I don't know, man,
- 25:44Speaker 1: I mean, is TCU actually better than we thought that
- 25:46Speaker 1: they were because TCU did look good against Michigan or
- 25:50Speaker 1: were those games outliars? I don't know. I'm still leaning
- 25:52Speaker 1: towards those games being outliers. Florida was an eleven and
- 25:55Speaker 1: a halfway favorite in this game, and they looked poised
- 25:58Speaker 1: to win this game. I mean, they looked like they
- 26:00Speaker 1: were gonna start pulling away with it. You know, they
- 26:02Speaker 1: were up double digits in the second half and then
- 26:05Speaker 1: lost the league. But then they were still starting to
- 26:07Speaker 1: rebuild it late in the game, and they still somehow
- 26:10Speaker 1: wound up losing the game to TCO huge upset for
- 26:13Speaker 1: TCU Florida. I could see it going both ways. You
- 26:16Speaker 1: could argue that maybe Florida will be angry about that
- 26:19Speaker 1: and bounce back from that, or because I mean, they
- 26:23Speaker 1: lost as a big favorite, so when that happens, teams
- 26:25Speaker 1: will tend to bounce back. But you could also argue that, well,
- 26:28Speaker 1: they haven't lost in so long, it could actually hang
- 26:30Speaker 1: them over a little bit, and maybe they just won't
- 26:32Speaker 1: care now that they can't win this whatever this tournament is.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Maybe they'll just be hung over in this game. They
- 26:38Speaker 1: do have Duke and Yukon up next, possible they overlook Providence,
- 26:42Speaker 1: and Providence is probably gonna be angry as well because
- 26:45Speaker 1: they got embarrassed yesterday by Wisconsin. I know Wisconsin is
- 26:48Speaker 1: a solid team, but Providence losing that game by over
- 26:51Speaker 1: twenty and giving up one hundred points, that's not great
- 26:55Speaker 1: Providence not a great team defensively really, which still, I
- 26:59Speaker 1: mean a Florida shows up, that'll be a problem because
- 27:01Speaker 1: Florida obviously can score. But I don't know, man, I mean,
- 27:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean to Providence plus the points in this one,
- 27:09Speaker 1: but I I mean, obviously I don't have a strong
- 27:11Speaker 1: opinion on this. Plus, do you really want to play
- 27:13Speaker 1: Florida when they're six six six on the on the
- 27:17Speaker 1: betting board here? Is that what you want? You want
- 27:18Speaker 1: to go up to the window, gim me number six
- 27:21Speaker 1: six six ninety two percent of the tickets, only seventy
- 27:25Speaker 1: six percent of the cash on Florida, so they look
- 27:30Speaker 1: public with less of the money on them. Uh, they're
- 27:32Speaker 1: up from an eleven point favorite to a twelve point favorite.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I know Providence is not that good though, I mean,
- 27:37Speaker 1: obviously that is built into the line. Though total is
- 27:40Speaker 1: also high up to one hundred and sixty nine. Because
- 27:42Speaker 1: we're looking at Florida likes to play fast. That is
- 27:45Speaker 1: probably what will happen here. Providence, I think, also is
- 27:48Speaker 1: a somewhat fast paced team, if I recall, Uh, I
- 27:51Speaker 1: still have to get my gauge on some of these. Yeah,
- 27:53Speaker 1: they're actually a very fast tempo team, Providences, and they
- 27:56Speaker 1: don't really play defense, so probably gonna be a very
- 28:00Speaker 1: high scoring game in that one. No way, what the
- 28:04Speaker 1: six six six, Yeah, do not do it? All right?
- 28:09Speaker 1: I'm shouting out Arkansas State because they are hosting whatever
- 28:12Speaker 1: this tournament is in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I believe they're hosting
- 28:16Speaker 1: whatever it is they're hosting North Dakota State here. Don't
- 28:19Speaker 1: don't really have an opinion on it. Both teams, I believe,
- 28:22Speaker 1: just beat Jacksonville State in this tournament thing, so same
- 28:25Speaker 1: common opponent. They both beat them by around the same amount.
- 28:29Speaker 1: So what do we do with this game? Well, we
- 28:31Speaker 1: don't play it. But Arkansas State looks like they're getting
- 28:34Speaker 1: the money up from two to two and a half.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I kind of think they're the better team, and they're
- 28:38Speaker 1: at home, so it is possible. But maybe that line
- 28:41Speaker 1: is short changing them a little bit. On North Dakota State.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I mean, they're one of the better Summit teams, but
- 28:46Speaker 1: I think Arkansas State may be the better team. Let
- 28:49Speaker 1: me see, ken bum has them in one hundred and
- 28:51Speaker 1: seventy fourth. Actually he is North Dakota State slightly better,
- 28:55Speaker 1: So I guess my gauge is wrong at least according
- 28:58Speaker 1: to ken Bommel, though I think his number is still
- 29:00Speaker 1: kind of shifting around a little bit. Tulane, I mean
- 29:06Speaker 1: I think there was yes, Yeah, I guess the angle
- 29:08Speaker 1: here would be, well, they just beat BC, they beat
- 29:10Speaker 1: an ACC team, so maybe there'll be a little bit
- 29:13Speaker 1: hungover from that or yeah, like it'll be a letdown
- 29:16Speaker 1: spot maybe off of that. They're facing Nickels here. Nichols
- 29:20Speaker 1: is coming out of a decent performance at Oklahoma State
- 29:23Speaker 1: where they only lost by fourteen, but they're fair. They're
- 29:26Speaker 1: playing another two road game, one of these teams that's
- 29:29Speaker 1: in one of these lesser conferences that just schedules all
- 29:32Speaker 1: road games early in the season to try to get
- 29:34Speaker 1: some win or something there. Yeah, I don't know, but
- 29:38Speaker 1: two Lane's down from ten point favorite to a nine
- 29:40Speaker 1: a half point favorite, and it does look really really
- 29:43Speaker 1: easy to lay those points with Tulane. I mean, they're
- 29:45Speaker 1: laying below double digits and they're four and two against
- 29:48Speaker 1: an zero to five Nichols team. It looks way too
- 29:51Speaker 1: easy to lay it with Tulane. But tu Lane's not
- 29:53Speaker 1: exactly the greatest basketball program either, So I would take
- 29:56Speaker 1: the points, and the number seems to be moving in
- 29:58Speaker 1: that direction, down from ten to nine and a half.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I don't really want to do it, but I mean
- 30:04Speaker 1: that's not one of my plays. Of course. Finally we'll
- 30:07Speaker 1: get into Betts whatever throwing up the graphic here, I
- 30:11Speaker 1: still need more drops if I'm even if I'm even
- 30:15Speaker 1: gonna continue to do the show, which is questionable. We're
- 30:18Speaker 1: gonna take njiit plus the points. I know. NJIT is
- 30:22Speaker 1: a horrific team. I understand it. They've looked really bad recently.
- 30:27Speaker 1: They've regressed. I told you they would because they started
- 30:29Speaker 1: the season looking better than they actually are. They're horrible,
- 30:33Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. But this is Eastern Michigan
- 30:37Speaker 1: that we're talking about. In Eastern Michigan is laying fourteen
- 30:41Speaker 1: and a half. Really, I mean, I don't know, it
- 30:44Speaker 1: seems high, but when you look at what Eastern Michigan
- 30:46Speaker 1: just did, this is a bad spot. Dude. Eastern Michigan
- 30:49Speaker 1: just played on the road at Louisville and they expectedly
- 30:52Speaker 1: got blown out. But then they went into Cincinnati. If
- 30:55Speaker 1: they won the game as twenty two and a half
- 30:58Speaker 1: point underdogs in a low total type of game, or
- 31:01Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati does play all these like kind of
- 31:03Speaker 1: low total games. I believe there's Cincinnati is a fast
- 31:07Speaker 1: paced team, though, it's just that their offense is miserably bad. Cincinnati,
- 31:12Speaker 1: I mean again, they're like Saint John's, but nowhere near
- 31:16Speaker 1: is good. Like it's just a bad profile. Like I
- 31:18Speaker 1: don't understand how you can be a fast tempo team,
- 31:21Speaker 1: be really good defensively, but have absolutely zero offense. It
- 31:25Speaker 1: makes no sense Cincinnati. They're just way too lopsided of
- 31:28Speaker 1: a profile. But yes, they lost that game outright to
- 31:33Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan, and Eastern Michigan is a slower paced team.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty second in tempo, we're nick kembum.
- 31:39Speaker 1: They don't play good offense, and you're asking them to
- 31:42Speaker 1: cover a fourteen and a half point favorite. So none
- 31:44Speaker 1: of that looks good, like laying huge numbers with a
- 31:47Speaker 1: team it's mediocre, barely cracking Kenbump's top two hundred. They
- 31:52Speaker 1: play slow, and they play better defense than offense. That's
- 31:55Speaker 1: not a great profile. And they're high in his luck
- 31:58Speaker 1: Index at thirty nine, so he's telling you they've overperformed
- 32:02Speaker 1: a bit and they're coming up that huge upset, so
- 32:05Speaker 1: they're in a big letdown. So, I mean, that was
- 32:08Speaker 1: like a pretty monumental win for that Eastern Michigan program.
- 32:11Speaker 1: And now they face NJ t Or. They're really gonna
- 32:13Speaker 1: be excited about that, and after this, they gonna turn
- 32:16Speaker 1: around and they gotta play Butler after this, which is
- 32:18Speaker 1: a that's a much bigger game, a big East team. Yeah,
- 32:22Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna have enough in the tank
- 32:24Speaker 1: here to beat NJIT by margin. I mean, I'm not
- 32:27Speaker 1: gonna say they're gonna lose the game outright, but I
- 32:30Speaker 1: think NJIT is gonna hang around in this game. I
- 32:33Speaker 1: know how bad they are. They also just got blown
- 32:36Speaker 1: out by Louisville. But people were also gonna look at say,
- 32:38Speaker 1: oh my god, nj T just got blown out by
- 32:40Speaker 1: Cincinnati by twenty seven points. So this is so easy, right,
- 32:46Speaker 1: Cincinnati beat NJIT by twenty seven points, and Eastern Michigan
- 32:50Speaker 1: just beat Cincinnati. So and you're only asking him to
- 32:52Speaker 1: win by fifteen. Of course that's gonna happen. It looks
- 32:56Speaker 1: way too easy to do that. I'm not gonna fall
- 32:58Speaker 1: into that. I'm not gonna do it. We're gonna take
- 33:01Speaker 1: nj T. I mean, they're gonna be embarrassing, man. I mean,
- 33:04Speaker 1: come on, even though it was Louisville. We know Louisville's good.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I don't think they're quite as good as sixth in
- 33:08Speaker 1: the country, But losing to Louisville, even though it was Louisville,
- 33:12Speaker 1: you lose that game by what was that fifty seven points.
- 33:15Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, that is embarrassing. You're gonna
- 33:18Speaker 1: want to come with a better performance after that. And
- 33:20Speaker 1: they're stepping way down in class to face the Eastern Michigan.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I know Eastern Michigan is also stepping down in class here,
- 33:26Speaker 1: but come on, man, yeah, I think nj T will
- 33:31Speaker 1: hang around in this game at least enough to cover
- 33:33Speaker 1: this number against then Eastern Michigan team. It's really not
- 33:35Speaker 1: that good. So that's where we're gonna go in that one.
- 33:38Speaker 1: I know NJIT is awful. I get it. Ken Bommes'm
- 33:41Speaker 1: in like the bottom twentieth. They're really high in as
- 33:44Speaker 1: luck index. I get all of that. They don't score.
- 33:47Speaker 1: I understand they're bad, but it's all about the spot
- 33:50Speaker 1: in this one, man. And yes, they want to play
- 33:53Speaker 1: a bit a little bit faster than than Eastern Michigan does.
- 33:57Speaker 1: But that's okay because Eastern Michigan. Actually, you can get
- 34:00Speaker 1: sixteen on this game now, so fuck it, well, we'll
- 34:03Speaker 1: increase it to sixteen because I'm doing the show right now.
- 34:07Speaker 1: It'll be the better number you can get on it.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Right now. We'll get plus sixteen on it, or you
- 34:12Speaker 1: might it might have to be fifteen and a half,
- 34:14Speaker 1: but whatever. It is all updated in the show description.
- 34:18Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I don't know what else I
- 34:20Speaker 1: have to say about it. Yeah, a slope ace team
- 34:23Speaker 1: that's gonna be controlling the pace asking them to cover
- 34:26Speaker 1: a huge number like that in a sandwich spot. Yeah,
- 34:29Speaker 1: we're gonna fade it. I don't know. I don't know
- 34:33Speaker 1: if I'm gonna continue the show. I really do not.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I dude, this is gonna be a two and a
- 34:39Speaker 1: half hour show here. The board is massively overwhelming, and
- 34:44Speaker 1: git the I don't even know what the new Georgia
- 34:48Speaker 1: Institute or technology. Dude, FanDuel, you gotta get more books,
- 34:52Speaker 1: Jeffrey FanDuel is just screwing you with the extra juice there,
- 34:56Speaker 1: and they don't give you another option, Like there's no
- 34:59Speaker 1: reason to have to lay juice on sixteen and a half.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Like you should be able to just like find a
- 35:03Speaker 1: book that's offering you like sixteen or fifteen and a half,
- 35:07Speaker 1: even at just minus one ten, like I would do that.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pay minus one fourteen for that bullshit
- 35:13Speaker 1: for a point that's in like a dead number range
- 35:15Speaker 1: that really doesn't matter much. Next up, all right, another
- 35:20Speaker 1: play here. We're gonna take Charleston Southern. Here's another fairly
- 35:24Speaker 1: big underdog for you plus seventeen. It might be higher
- 35:27Speaker 1: than that. Now, let me see, I actually can get
- 35:29Speaker 1: probably eighteen and a half nineteen on this. Now, I
- 35:32Speaker 1: knew this line was going up, so I was like,
- 35:34Speaker 1: it's probably gonna get higher than that. Charleston Southern plus
- 35:37Speaker 1: eighteen and a half nineteen, whatever, we're fading South Carolina here.
- 35:42Speaker 1: This is a big game for Charleston Southern, dude, because
- 35:45Speaker 1: they're in South Carolina, so they're gonna step it up
- 35:48Speaker 1: in this little brother big brother situation, and because it's
- 35:51Speaker 1: an SEC team. But I think it's just even more
- 35:54Speaker 1: of a motivator for a lesser, you know, team in
- 35:57Speaker 1: the state of South Carolina. They want to beat the
- 35:59Speaker 1: un University of South Carolina. South Carolina is also not good,
- 36:04Speaker 1: as I said, I mean, sure, they're an SEC team.
- 36:06Speaker 1: They're better than Charleston Southern obviously, but they're not a
- 36:09Speaker 1: good SEC team. And South Carolina's coming off a run
- 36:13Speaker 1: of games where they played Butler and Northwestern close, both
- 36:16Speaker 1: as underdogs. I believe now they're coming off that and
- 36:19Speaker 1: they gotta play this week Charleston Southern team. They know
- 36:23Speaker 1: they can win this game without covering too So I
- 36:26Speaker 1: just don't think you're gonna get a huge effort here
- 36:27Speaker 1: for South Carolina. They were playing these games in West
- 36:30Speaker 1: Virginia and they took They took Northwestern basically to the limit.
- 36:34Speaker 1: And Northwestern is a big ten team. They're five and one.
- 36:37Speaker 1: They've been in and out of the tournament recently. That
- 36:39Speaker 1: was a pretty big game for South Carolina. Man, they
- 36:41Speaker 1: almost pulled off the moderate upset of like four or
- 36:45Speaker 1: five points in that game. Now they got Charleston Southern,
- 36:48Speaker 1: and coming up next in a few days they got
- 36:50Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, which is gonna be a much bigger game
- 36:53Speaker 1: for South Carolina. So it's a sandwich spot. I think
- 36:56Speaker 1: they overlook Charleston Southern. I think you're gonna get extra
- 36:58Speaker 1: effort from Charleston Southern because they are in South Carolina.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I know they're bad. I know they have two really
- 37:05Speaker 1: really bad losses to Alabama A and M and linden Wood,
- 37:08Speaker 1: and like half of their wins are against two of
- 37:11Speaker 1: their five wins are against non D one teams. I
- 37:13Speaker 1: get it, but they at least have some momentum right now.
- 37:16Speaker 1: They got a couple of Division one wins out of
- 37:18Speaker 1: the way. Now they have a Division two win last,
- 37:20Speaker 1: so they're not gonna be overexerted coming into this one.
- 37:23Speaker 1: They'll just have a little bit of confidence. They'll show
- 37:26Speaker 1: up in this one, I would imagine. I think they
- 37:29Speaker 1: can get within the number. South Carolina. I mean they
- 37:32Speaker 1: play ugly offensively, dude, just like their football team, although
- 37:36Speaker 1: actually their offense is better than their defense. Avequard to kembon,
- 37:39Speaker 1: but they're not good on either side of the ball really,
- 37:41Speaker 1: and they also play a somewhat slow tempo. I know
- 37:45Speaker 1: he has them low and his luck index, so he's
- 37:46Speaker 1: saying they're underperforming right now. But I mean they're four
- 37:49Speaker 1: and two, So how underperformance could they really be right now?
- 37:53Speaker 1: When he has them at eighty eighth in the country,
- 37:55Speaker 1: which is not you know, they're not an overwhelming team.
- 37:59Speaker 1: They're not really expected to make the tournament or anything
- 38:01Speaker 1: like that. I know Charles's Southern's higher and the luck index,
- 38:04Speaker 1: and faced the week schedule, they want to play faster.
- 38:07Speaker 1: But again that's okay because you're looking at at Charles,
- 38:09Speaker 1: you're looking at a South Carolina team that's a slower
- 38:12Speaker 1: paced team that needs to cover a huge number, you know,
- 38:15Speaker 1: I like to fade that. And by the way, both
- 38:18Speaker 1: these totals are low in these games. So this is
- 38:20Speaker 1: at one hundred and fifty and a half. I mean
- 38:22Speaker 1: that's not high, So I'm alright with taking the points there.
- 38:25Speaker 1: The other total is lower in the NJIT game. It's
- 38:28Speaker 1: at one forty one, very low total in that game.
- 38:31Speaker 1: So again, taking the points a little bit of a
- 38:34Speaker 1: better idea when it's a lower total. So yeah, Fandel
- 38:40Speaker 1: is cocking you. Yeah, plus seventeen and a half at
- 38:43Speaker 1: a good price there, that's good. But yeah again, sign
- 38:47Speaker 1: up for some more books. All right. Colorado State South
- 38:51Speaker 1: Florida in the Bahamas, I believe this is this? Is
- 38:55Speaker 1: this a championship and whatever? This is in the Battle
- 38:57Speaker 1: for Atlanta. No, it's a fifth place game. What am
- 38:59Speaker 1: I thinking? Both teams won yesterday is what I was thinking,
- 39:03Speaker 1: But I guess both teams also have a loss already.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Colorado State beat Wichita yesterday. It's a decent win. I mean,
- 39:09Speaker 1: Wichita not a horrible team this year. It's looking like
- 39:13Speaker 1: South Florida had an escape though against Western Kentucky. I
- 39:16Speaker 1: know they had to play into overtime. Sometimes you play
- 39:19Speaker 1: that extra period. Having to go play the next day,
- 39:21Speaker 1: it's a little bit difficult. But they took a scare
- 39:24Speaker 1: man and there's no way they should have been anywhere
- 39:25Speaker 1: near as bad as that. So I kind of like
- 39:28Speaker 1: South Florida it bounce back in this one and play better.
- 39:31Speaker 1: They flipped from a one point dog to a one
- 39:33Speaker 1: to that point favorite. That is my opinion. In that game.
- 39:35Speaker 1: I would lean to South Florida in that one. Out
- 39:39Speaker 1: in Palm Springs. We do have Washington and Colorado. Washington
- 39:42Speaker 1: had that nice win and cover, which I thought they
- 39:44Speaker 1: would after that ugly game against Southern. Like I said,
- 39:47Speaker 1: they beat Nevada pretty easily yesterday. They do have UCLA
- 39:51Speaker 1: coming up next, but I don't know if they're really
- 39:52Speaker 1: gonna overlook Colorado here. This is the championship in this tournament,
- 39:57Speaker 1: so I expect both teams will probably show up for this,
- 40:00Speaker 1: and they're both Power Conference teams, so why not. Colorado
- 40:03Speaker 1: had a nice upset and win over San Francisco, though,
- 40:06Speaker 1: although I don't know if they could well they consider
- 40:08Speaker 1: that to be an upset in their own minds. I
- 40:10Speaker 1: don't know. I think Washington had the easier go of it,
- 40:14Speaker 1: though yesterday they had the game that required them to
- 40:18Speaker 1: exert less energy winning as a favorite. They are the
- 40:21Speaker 1: favorite here, they are the better team. Although the money's
- 40:23Speaker 1: coming in on Colorado. I don't really agree with it,
- 40:25Speaker 1: though Washington den for four to three and a half,
- 40:29Speaker 1: seventy eight percent of tickets ninety eight percent of the
- 40:31Speaker 1: cash taking it with Colorado. In a situation like this,
- 40:34Speaker 1: I think I would go with the better team and
- 40:36Speaker 1: the team that's not off of an upset, and that
- 40:38Speaker 1: is Washington. So I would probably lean towards Washington. Laying
- 40:43Speaker 1: the points there not a strong opinion for Jeffrey. University
- 40:48Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania is hosting some thing in Philadelphia. Still, they're
- 40:53Speaker 1: basically they're in a Philly cheese steak sandwich here man,
- 40:56Speaker 1: because they're coming up wins over Saint Joe's and Drexel,
- 41:00Speaker 1: both Philly area teams. Those are big wins for Pennsylvania.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know they I assume they definitely
- 41:06Speaker 1: consider themselves to be a little brother to Saint Joe's,
- 41:09Speaker 1: maybe not to Drexel, but they just blew out Drexel
- 41:12Speaker 1: on the road. Now they're coming back and they're facing
- 41:14Speaker 1: a non Philadelphia team that somehow is playing in this tournament. Merrimack,
- 41:19Speaker 1: who are fairly new to Division one and they're in
- 41:22Speaker 1: northern Massachusetts. Don't really know how they're in this Philadelphia thing,
- 41:26Speaker 1: but they are. Penn might just overlook them, man, because
- 41:29Speaker 1: Penn has to face LaSalle tomorrow and that's another Philadelphia
- 41:33Speaker 1: area school there, so they're in a Philly sandwich. They
- 41:37Speaker 1: might overlook this Merrimack team that hasn't been good to
- 41:39Speaker 1: start the season. With Merrimack, I mean, they face some
- 41:42Speaker 1: pretty decent teams. I mean, they face Auburn, Florida is
- 41:46Speaker 1: more than decent. They played South Dakota State. Those are
- 41:48Speaker 1: not easy games. So this Merrimack team, they're decently tested
- 41:53Speaker 1: and they're stepping down in class after a Florida game,
- 41:55Speaker 1: So even though they got blown out in that game,
- 41:57Speaker 1: this should be easier for them out of an underdog.
- 42:01Speaker 1: I would agree with the Merrimack side. Pennsylvania is already
- 42:04Speaker 1: down from five to three, so you're getting less value
- 42:07Speaker 1: on it, but I would probably still take the points,
- 42:09Speaker 1: fifty percent of tickets, ninety seven percent of the cash
- 42:12Speaker 1: on Merrimack's pretty strong market. Read on Merrimack in that one.
- 42:16Speaker 1: I agree with that IVY League, even though you're a
- 42:22Speaker 1: Philadelphia guy, I don't really agree with that. There's no
- 42:27Speaker 1: way that they don't like step up their game against
- 42:29Speaker 1: the other like local schools. I mean, every team does.
- 42:32Speaker 1: There's no way that that there's some outlier that just
- 42:35Speaker 1: doesn't do that. Oh you think if Penn faces Villanova,
- 42:39Speaker 1: you think they don't consider that to be a big game.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I've won on taking Pen. I think I won last
- 42:44Speaker 1: year with Penn upsetting Villanova. Maybe that was two years ago.
- 42:48Speaker 1: I definitely had a win on them in the recent
- 42:50Speaker 1: the last couple of years where they actually upset Villanova outright.
- 42:55Speaker 1: So no, I don't buy that. Don't buy it. All right, next,
- 43:01Speaker 1: we're gonna have another play here. It is gonna be
- 43:03Speaker 1: We're gonna lay the points with Wisconsin minus five and
- 43:06Speaker 1: a half in this San Diego thing. You know I'm
- 43:08Speaker 1: gonna do this. We're gonna fade TCU. I know this
- 43:11Speaker 1: is the conference or this is the championship game in
- 43:15Speaker 1: this tournament, whatever the hell it is, the Rady Children's
- 43:19Speaker 1: Invitational in San Diego. TCU just upset Florida, though, Man,
- 43:23Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Florida, the returning champs. Do you
- 43:27Speaker 1: really think they care about winning this tournament that everybody's
- 43:29Speaker 1: gonna forget about in like two days. No, I don't
- 43:33Speaker 1: really think so. I mean, sure, ideally they want to
- 43:35Speaker 1: step it up to face Wisconsin, because Wisconsin is a
- 43:38Speaker 1: pretty good team. But beating Florida is a huge deal, man,
- 43:41Speaker 1: I mean, big game. They pulled off a massive upset.
- 43:44Speaker 1: They had to make multiple comebacks in the game they
- 43:46Speaker 1: pulled off. The upset is double digit underdogs. I don't
- 43:50Speaker 1: really see them having much left in the tank here.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Wisconsin had an easy goal of it yesterday against Providence.
- 43:55Speaker 1: They're gonna be the team that had to exert a
- 43:57Speaker 1: lot less energy yesterday, even though I think they played
- 43:59Speaker 1: later in the day than Florida did yesterday. But still,
- 44:04Speaker 1: I don't think that that totally evens it out. Man.
- 44:06Speaker 1: We're gonna lay it with Wisconsin here, TCU. I think
- 44:10Speaker 1: they also look a little bit better than they are
- 44:11Speaker 1: right now. Though this line's already climbing, it's up to
- 44:14Speaker 1: six and a half. Hopefully you can get it lower
- 44:16Speaker 1: than seven. Try to lay the six and a half
- 44:19Speaker 1: on this would be my recommendation here. Seven being a
- 44:22Speaker 1: key number. So yeah, that's what I would do here.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Wisconsin is the better team. This is also not your
- 44:29Speaker 1: father's Wisconsin. They don't actually play slow. They play somewhat fast,
- 44:34Speaker 1: and they have a good offense. That's a good profile
- 44:36Speaker 1: for a team that you want to cover as a favorite.
- 44:39Speaker 1: And they're balanced. I mean, they're okay defensively as well.
- 44:43Speaker 1: They're the better team all around over TCU, though, Man,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I would say, actually Ken bums TCU slightly better defensively,
- 44:49Speaker 1: but Wisconsin way way better offensively. And TCU plays kind
- 44:53Speaker 1: of a mid tempo style as well. Yes, I know
- 44:56Speaker 1: he has them as underrated right now as far as
- 44:58Speaker 1: his luck index, but this is just a bad spot, man,
- 45:01Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that I buy that TCU is overrated.
- 45:05Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they looked a little bit
- 45:07Speaker 1: better than they actually are against Florida and Michigan. They're
- 45:11Speaker 1: probably better than we thought they were to start the season.
- 45:13Speaker 1: I know that they got Jamie Dixon, they're well coached, whatever,
- 45:16Speaker 1: But yeah, I think this is a this is a
- 45:19Speaker 1: bad spot for them. I like Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin
- 45:22Speaker 1: gets it done. Yeah, and they again, they profile is
- 45:26Speaker 1: a decent favorite and the team with the significantly better
- 45:31Speaker 1: offense and the defenses are similar. That That is what
- 45:35Speaker 1: I think about that game. Penn, Yeah, I mean they
- 45:40Speaker 1: have a print. Sure, they have a rival in Princeton.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Teams have multiple rivals, though, Like I still don't buy
- 45:46Speaker 1: that they don't get up for games against other schools
- 45:49Speaker 1: in their area. Again, every team in college does. So.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Xavier against Texas A and M Corpus Christie, Xavier coming
- 45:58Speaker 1: off and win over West Virginia. That's a pretty big win.
- 46:00Speaker 1: I mean these teams are geographically close, so, but also
- 46:04Speaker 1: West Virginia is a big twelve team. Xavier played pretty
- 46:07Speaker 1: close against Georgia in the prior game as well, So
- 46:10Speaker 1: pretty big games that Xavier is coming off of here.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Could be a little bit in a letdown spot here, man,
- 46:15Speaker 1: maybe not having a ton in the t tank here,
- 46:18Speaker 1: and you're gonna be asking them to cover a big number.
- 46:20Speaker 1: I'm still not sold on Xavier being any good this
- 46:23Speaker 1: year really, because again they lost Sean Miller and now
- 46:25Speaker 1: they have Richard Patino there. Oh right, yeah, inside I
- 46:31Speaker 1: want to kill myself, have to do the Patino drop
- 46:36Speaker 1: every time. I'm not Rick Patino, but richer. But Texas
- 46:39Speaker 1: A and MCC that has got to win against a
- 46:42Speaker 1: Division two team, which I think is good because they
- 46:45Speaker 1: were losing and that'll break their lostek. I know they're
- 46:47Speaker 1: only wins are against non Division one teams so far.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I get it. But their schedule has been pretty difficult. Man.
- 46:53Speaker 1: They faced SMU, Kansas Oklahoma State all on the road
- 46:56Speaker 1: and we had a win here on the show, I believe,
- 46:58Speaker 1: on Tarlatan State again, which was a game where they
- 47:01Speaker 1: played closer, but I just thought it was a really
- 47:03Speaker 1: bad spot for them because I think they're actually fairly
- 47:06Speaker 1: close against SMU. So yeah, we got the win on
- 47:09Speaker 1: that one. But it's been a difficult schedule for A
- 47:11Speaker 1: and mcc. Man. I think they're one of the better
- 47:13Speaker 1: teams in the Southland. I mean that's been the case
- 47:15Speaker 1: in recent years. So and now that they broke that
- 47:19Speaker 1: long or long ish lost streak with a win, I
- 47:21Speaker 1: think that'll propel them forward a little bit. I would
- 47:23Speaker 1: take the points with an mcc here. It's not a
- 47:26Speaker 1: play for me, but Xavier is down from sixteen to
- 47:29Speaker 1: fifteen and a half low total as well, so yeah,
- 47:34Speaker 1: I would take the points. ESPN and at night has
- 47:38Speaker 1: Miami and Georgetown this game. I mean, both these teams
- 47:44Speaker 1: seem to me maybe somewhat on the rise. There are
- 47:46Speaker 1: two Power Conference teams that have been down a little
- 47:48Speaker 1: bit over the last Well. For Georgetown, it's been a
- 47:51Speaker 1: long time. For Miami, it's been a couple of years.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Miami coming off of ten point loss to BYU, I
- 47:58Speaker 1: mean it was a big game for them. How close
- 48:01Speaker 1: was the game? I don't know because ESPN doesn't show
- 48:03Speaker 1: us the game flow. Oh wait, they do now. I
- 48:07Speaker 1: mean Miami just kind of they had get the leader
- 48:10Speaker 1: early in the second half and then they just kind
- 48:12Speaker 1: of faded away. So it wasn't really that close, but
- 48:15Speaker 1: still kind of a big deal play facing BYU. Georgetown
- 48:19Speaker 1: coming up an overtime loss to Dayton, but that was
- 48:22Speaker 1: a I mean, that was a decently big game and
- 48:24Speaker 1: reasonably big game. I think it was a close line
- 48:27Speaker 1: to the game. And Georgetown also took their first loss
- 48:30Speaker 1: of the season, so I always talk about how that
- 48:32Speaker 1: can hang you over a little bit, and they had
- 48:35Speaker 1: to play that extra overtime period yesterday. So do I
- 48:38Speaker 1: want to do anything with this game? No, I do not.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Miami is getting the money. I mean, I guess I'm
- 48:44Speaker 1: not going to really disagree with it when there's not
- 48:47Speaker 1: really much of a situation to rely on here. Miami
- 48:49Speaker 1: is up from four to five sixty four percent to
- 48:52Speaker 1: take as ninety six percent of the cash on them.
- 48:54Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to disagree that they're the
- 48:56Speaker 1: better team, so I would agree with it. That's the
- 48:59Speaker 1: way I would lean slightly Wichita in Western Kentucky. I
- 49:04Speaker 1: think Western Kentucky probably is done now after that, man.
- 49:08Speaker 1: I mean two big games where they played close against
- 49:11Speaker 1: Vandy and then they somehow were able to put in
- 49:13Speaker 1: an effort again yesterday, where my analysis they were gonna
- 49:17Speaker 1: be hung over off that Vandy game. They played well
- 49:19Speaker 1: again as an underdog against South Florida. I really do
- 49:22Speaker 1: not see them having much left in the tank here
- 49:24Speaker 1: for this consolation game or whatever in the Bahamas against Wichita.
- 49:29Speaker 1: Wichita did have a couple of close games as well, though,
- 49:31Speaker 1: against Saint Mary's and Colorado State, and those are pretty
- 49:34Speaker 1: big games too, so I don't love that. But I
- 49:39Speaker 1: still think the spot is a bit worse for Western
- 49:41Speaker 1: Kentucky and they're the lesser team, so I would lean
- 49:44Speaker 1: to Wichita. They're up from five to six here sixty
- 49:48Speaker 1: percent of tickets ninety five percent of the cash of them.
- 49:50Speaker 1: I don't disagree with the Wichita side there. Stanford is
- 49:54Speaker 1: facing Saint Louis in Palm Springs, so I think the
- 49:57Speaker 1: location helps Stanford a little bit. But Saint Louis has
- 50:00Speaker 1: been out of California for a while now too. But
- 50:03Speaker 1: Stanford is of course also coming up that well. Actually,
- 50:06Speaker 1: my mistake, they actually already bounced back from that loss
- 50:09Speaker 1: to Seattle. They beat Minnesota in this tournament, so they're
- 50:12Speaker 1: actually coming up a nice win over a big ten team.
- 50:15Speaker 1: So my mistake, maybe that will hang them over a
- 50:18Speaker 1: little bit. I don't know. But Saint Louis played a
- 50:20Speaker 1: really big game yesterday too against a pretty good Santa
- 50:23Speaker 1: Clara team, and Saint Louis escaped that game with a win. Well,
- 50:26Speaker 1: I don't want to say they escaped. They were a
- 50:28Speaker 1: small favorite. I think I thought Santa Clara would get
- 50:33Speaker 1: that one done. I mean, I thought the location would
- 50:35Speaker 1: help them. I'm not quite sure that Saint Louis is
- 50:37Speaker 1: actually the better team over them. I don't know which
- 50:41Speaker 1: way I would lean in this game, to be honest.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Both teams are kind of they're coming in in similar situations.
- 50:48Speaker 1: Let's just say Saint Louis is actually favored. So the
- 50:51Speaker 1: osmakers are telling you Saint Louis, despite playing in California,
- 50:54Speaker 1: they're actually better than Stanford by enough that they're a
- 50:57Speaker 1: four point favorite, although it's down for fourid half fifty
- 51:00Speaker 1: three percent of tickets on Saint Louis eighty one percent
- 51:03Speaker 1: of the cash on Stanford. So the money coming in
- 51:07Speaker 1: on Stanford. Oh, man, I don't know if I really
- 51:11Speaker 1: necessarily want to agree with that. I don't know, man,
- 51:15Speaker 1: I mean, being out of California does help, I guess,
- 51:17Speaker 1: but again, Saint Louis is already out there now, I
- 51:21Speaker 1: guess Stanford. I don't know, man, I don't know which
- 51:24Speaker 1: team is coming off the more like the game that
- 51:27Speaker 1: required more effort. I mean, it's a very difficult handicap.
- 51:29Speaker 1: I guess I'll lean towards Stanford just because the money
- 51:33Speaker 1: is saying it, But I don't have an opinion on it. Really.
- 51:37Speaker 1: Clemson's facing Alabama A and M. Clemson. I would say
- 51:42Speaker 1: they're probably in a bit of a They're in a
- 51:43Speaker 1: sandwich spot here, man. I mean, I don't quite want
- 51:46Speaker 1: to do this because A and M is Alabama A
- 51:48Speaker 1: and M is a horrible team, and it's a pretty
- 51:51Speaker 1: non competitive match up here. But Clemson is a slope
- 51:54Speaker 1: ace team this year, so they don't profile as a team.
- 51:57Speaker 1: It's gonna be good as a huge favorite. Clemson coming
- 52:00Speaker 1: off two big games in a row. They beat West
- 52:02Speaker 1: Virginia and Georgia. I believe in overtime that's a big
- 52:07Speaker 1: win man, in the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic, whatever the hell,
- 52:12Speaker 1: big win for them, man against Georgetown against Georgia, excuse me,
- 52:16Speaker 1: better than Georgetown in overtime, huge game. And now they
- 52:20Speaker 1: faced Alabama A and M. And they have to turn
- 52:22Speaker 1: around after this and play Alabama and BYU. So those
- 52:25Speaker 1: are bigger games. Man, this is a game I think
- 52:28Speaker 1: they're gonna get caught in a sandwich spot. Alabama A
- 52:31Speaker 1: and M is awful though, and I don't think they're
- 52:34Speaker 1: as good as a three and one record looks either.
- 52:36Speaker 1: I mean, they've played basically nobody, although their only loss
- 52:39Speaker 1: is to Indiana, which is expected, but that's their only game.
- 52:44Speaker 1: There's stepped up in class on the road. They lost
- 52:46Speaker 1: really badly. Will they be able to hang with Clemson here? Maybe?
- 52:52Speaker 1: I mean that's the way I would lean in this game.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Something just feels a little bit off about it to me.
- 52:57Speaker 1: Although I don't know, Man, it's a low total. Do
- 52:59Speaker 1: we want to add this one? I don't know. It's
- 53:01Speaker 1: a lowt's total. Clemson never twenty eight to twenty seven
- 53:03Speaker 1: and a half here totals one hundred and forty one,
- 53:06Speaker 1: which is definitely low Clemson. They play slow, and I
- 53:10Speaker 1: don't think they're quite as good as they were last year, man,
- 53:12Speaker 1: even though they actually do have decent balance. Ken Bum
- 53:15Speaker 1: has them in the middle in luck index. They play slow,
- 53:19Speaker 1: which again doesn't profile well as a big favorite for
- 53:24Speaker 1: Alabama A and M. I mean, ken Bum has Alabama
- 53:27Speaker 1: A and M is the luckiest team of the country,
- 53:29Speaker 1: though at number one in lock. I'll stay off of
- 53:33Speaker 1: it even just for that reason. But they do also
- 53:36Speaker 1: like to play slow. I would take the points in
- 53:38Speaker 1: this one, but I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it. I'm
- 53:40Speaker 1: gonna leave it alone. I'll leave it off my card.
- 53:44Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and De Paul. I mean, technically, this is
- 53:47Speaker 1: a Power Conference matchup Georgia Tech one of the lesser
- 53:52Speaker 1: ACC teams, to Paul, one of the lesser Big twelve teams.
- 53:56Speaker 1: Both teams coming off some kind of easyish wins. Although
- 53:59Speaker 1: Georgia Tech didn't really play well against Georgia Southern and
- 54:02Speaker 1: I thought they would bounce back. I think Jeffrey got
- 54:04Speaker 1: this one right with West Georgia up barely. I thought
- 54:08Speaker 1: Georgia Tech after that Georgia Southern game would play better,
- 54:11Speaker 1: and I think they could have covered in that game. Man,
- 54:15Speaker 1: it was like right on the line there and West
- 54:18Speaker 1: Georgia just snuck in within that number. Could argue that
- 54:21Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is in a little bit of a look
- 54:23Speaker 1: ahead spot looking towards the Mississippi State here. Maybe they
- 54:26Speaker 1: overlooked a Paul because they've been so bad over the
- 54:29Speaker 1: recent years. This is in the Emerald Coast Classic, which
- 54:32Speaker 1: is in destin Florida, wherever the hell that is somewhere
- 54:37Speaker 1: in Florida. Yeah, I mean slightlyan to DePaul for me
- 54:43Speaker 1: in this one, but I don't love it. They flipped
- 54:46Speaker 1: from one point Dog and one that boy favorite ninety
- 54:48Speaker 1: eight percent of the cash and then fifty percent of
- 54:49Speaker 1: the tickets or evenly split. We got SMU and Mississippi State.
- 54:55Speaker 1: At Mississippi State. I expect both teams to show here,
- 55:00Speaker 1: but Mississippi State's coming off a really bad performance against
- 55:04Speaker 1: New Orleans. Mississippi State almost lost the game, which I
- 55:07Speaker 1: think is why I faded New Orleans after that. Mississippi
- 55:10Speaker 1: State was coming off that tournament in Kansas City, though,
- 55:13Speaker 1: where they almost beat New Mexico. Had to play Kansas
- 55:16Speaker 1: State before that, so I think they were in kind
- 55:18Speaker 1: of a sandwich spot because they did have SMU coming
- 55:21Speaker 1: up after that, so I think they didn't pay attention.
- 55:23Speaker 1: They almost got caught. That's why they didn't cover their SMU.
- 55:27Speaker 1: I mean, they just really they haven't been tested. Man.
- 55:30Speaker 1: Their biggest game was against Butler, and yeah they won
- 55:33Speaker 1: the game, but they're having a step up in class
- 55:35Speaker 1: and faces Mississippi State here, man, So I like Mississippi
- 55:39Speaker 1: State in this one. SMU is a one point favorite,
- 55:41Speaker 1: so the oswigers are telling you they're actually the better team.
- 55:44Speaker 1: Mississippi State a bit down this year, but I don't
- 55:48Speaker 1: love it. And this is also SMU's first true road
- 55:50Speaker 1: game this deep into the season. I don't like that either.
- 55:54Speaker 1: In Mississippi State. Again, I kind of like Mississippi State here,
- 55:59Speaker 1: and nobody gonna want them because who's gonna want a
- 56:02Speaker 1: three and three Mississippi State team against a seven to
- 56:05Speaker 1: zero SMU team. Pick the winner. Nobody's gonna want that.
- 56:09Speaker 1: Mississippi State's coming up. That ugly game against New Orleans
- 56:12Speaker 1: or Mississippi State barely covered. They almost lost the game.
- 56:16Speaker 1: They had to make a huge comeback here and win
- 56:19Speaker 1: it in overtime. And this game was on the twenty fourth,
- 56:22Speaker 1: so they've had a few days off after that, but
- 56:24Speaker 1: they are staying at home. You know what, I like
- 56:27Speaker 1: Mississippi State in this one. I think we're gonna do this.
- 56:30Speaker 1: Let me see what does ken Bom have for this.
- 56:34Speaker 1: He's got Mississippi State. They're definitely down this year, mid
- 56:36Speaker 1: tempo team, middle in the Luck Index. They're fairly balanced,
- 56:40Speaker 1: at least top one hundred in both offense and defense,
- 56:42Speaker 1: top one hundred overall. He does have SMU top fifty.
- 56:46Speaker 1: He has some top fifty offensively outside of the top
- 56:49Speaker 1: fifty defensively, faster tempo, so Mississippi State might be able
- 56:53Speaker 1: to slow them down a little bit. Although they're not
- 56:56Speaker 1: exactly a slow team SMU hiring the Luck Index here.
- 57:00Speaker 1: I mean, Mississippi State is clearly more battle tested, though,
- 57:04Speaker 1: which is why they're three and three. I mean they
- 57:06Speaker 1: lost to Iowa State, Kansas State, New Mexico. I mean,
- 57:10Speaker 1: those are better teams. Those might all be better teams
- 57:13Speaker 1: than everybody that SMU is faced. I mean, how good
- 57:16Speaker 1: is Butler ken bom As Butler of forty six? So
- 57:19Speaker 1: I guess they're better than New Mexico. But yeah, that's
- 57:23Speaker 1: about it. So you know what, Yeah, I kind of
- 57:28Speaker 1: like this one. Let me see what can we get
- 57:29Speaker 1: for a number here? You can probably get Mississippi State
- 57:31Speaker 1: as a home dog here. Let me see, yeah, Mississippi
- 57:38Speaker 1: State can get them at a let me see. Yeah,
- 57:43Speaker 1: you can get them at plus one right now, it
- 57:44Speaker 1: looks like it's the best money line. There's no money
- 57:48Speaker 1: line underdog price for them. Plus one seems to make sense.
- 57:52Speaker 1: You can get plus one at like a normal price,
- 57:54Speaker 1: so at least what I'm seeing at Caesar's. All right, Yeah,
- 57:59Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. Destin is in the Panhandle, all right,
- 58:04Speaker 1: good to know? Interesting? All right, we're adding Mississippi State.
- 58:09Speaker 1: I know I'm adding more plays on the fly. I
- 58:15Speaker 1: know I have to do my stupid Instagram videos. Dude,
- 58:18Speaker 1: this is so much easier when I didn't do these videos. Sorry,
- 58:22Speaker 1: but that's just the case, we're on Mississippi State. It's
- 58:25Speaker 1: gonna be a very Mississippi State heavy day. So now
- 58:28Speaker 1: you know what I'm doing. My last playing college basketball
- 58:31Speaker 1: is here. We're gonna take the points with Pitt. You
- 58:34Speaker 1: can get it five and a half. I snagged a
- 58:37Speaker 1: five and a half earlier where I saw that you
- 58:39Speaker 1: could snag it. I think you can still do it.
- 58:41Speaker 1: Ohio State. It looks like they're getting the public action,
- 58:44Speaker 1: so the line might still be just hovering around that number.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Sixty percent of tickets on them, sixty eight percent of
- 58:50Speaker 1: the cash coming in on pit. This is a low
- 58:53Speaker 1: total in this one. So I like that as well.
- 58:55Speaker 1: For taking the points. We're taking them at home with
- 58:58Speaker 1: Pitt here, We're to do this Ohio State. They're in
- 59:02Speaker 1: a bad spot here. Man. I don't think Ohio State
- 59:04Speaker 1: is exactly great. I mean people consider themselves to be
- 59:08Speaker 1: a big name. I mean, this is not football. Though
- 59:10Speaker 1: ken Bum does have them outside of the top twenty five.
- 59:12Speaker 1: I mean he has some kind of borderline at thirtieth
- 59:16Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, they're a balanced team, but he does
- 59:19Speaker 1: have them high in the luck into six seventy fourth
- 59:21Speaker 1: and they have not played a difficult schedule So far,
- 59:24Speaker 1: they're in the bottom six strength of schedule in all
- 59:27Speaker 1: of D one according to Ken Bom, so they have
- 59:30Speaker 1: not really been tested. Their biggest test was against Notre
- 59:33Speaker 1: Dame and they almost lost the game. And this is
- 59:35Speaker 1: gonna be their first true road game, which is never
- 59:37Speaker 1: really that easy. Pitt, They're gonna get up for it,
- 59:40Speaker 1: man and Pit. They don't look good, you know, as
- 59:42Speaker 1: far as their record at four and three, but they're
- 59:44Speaker 1: four and one at home and they've at least been
- 59:47Speaker 1: more battle tested. I mean, they lost to West Virginia.
- 59:50Speaker 1: West Virginia seems to be on the way up again.
- 59:53Speaker 1: They lost to UCF, but now they're coming off a
- 59:55Speaker 1: kind of inexplicable loss. Man, maybe it was because that
- 59:58Speaker 1: UCF game kind of sent them spiraling a little bit.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: But now Pitt's coming off losing a Quinnipiac. I mean,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: come on, man, Pitt was twelve and a half way
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: favorites in this game. It was a low total game
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and they lost the game outright. That's pretty bad. A
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Quinnipiac shot absurdly in this game, though, fifty seven percent
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: from the field and sixty five percent from three. It's
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: like that's the type of game. There's just nothing you
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: can even do about it, like you're not gonna win
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: the game. When a team shoots like that, it's just
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: a complete outlier. That's just the way that it is.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Pitt was the better team in the rebounding department, which
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: is more of a sustainable metric, So I like that.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: I don't know, do we take UCF off of that
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Quinnipiac game. I don't know, because UCF didn't actually cover,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: so I hope we didn't. But that would have been
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: a fade spot for Quinnipiac. But I think I lay
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: it off, but just because I thought maybe they'd still
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: get up for UCF. But this is a spot where
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I think Pitt does show up in this one, and
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: for Ohio State. It's not really about the spot being
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: bad for Ohio State necessarily, except for the fact that
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: it is a first true road game and they do
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: start conference play next against Northwestern in Illinois, so maybe
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: they just don't pay as much attention to Pitt here
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: in Ohio State did just put up one hundred and
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: thirteen points man winning by fifty three against Mount Saint Mary's,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: So I think when you do that to anybody you're
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: gonna be feeling a little bit cocky coming into the
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: next game in Ohio State. They had not put up
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: over one hundred points since their first game against IU Indie.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: And we know how fast IU Indie likes to play
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: and how little defense they play. So Ohio State is
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: not exactly that team that we saw in those two games.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: So I don't think they're gonna top one hundred points
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: in this game against Pitt. Let's just put it that way.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Pit plus the points, Yeah, I mean yeah, if I
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: stop ball, I'll yeah, I'll put them in Patreon. I
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Man,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: this takes a lot out of me, and yesterday was
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: unbelievably frustrating. Then I'm looking at this board today and
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, man, I have to talk about
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: all of this. It's just Uh. We have a game
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: going on in k back in Quebec between a bunch
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: of New York teams. I guess Colegate is playing Albany,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: but Colegate's coming off a pretty difficult game, or they
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: took Cornell to within one point. I guess at Cornell.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: I think Colgate probably considered considers Cornell to be a
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: bigger brother. I think all these teams are in Upstate
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: New York. That was a pretty big game for Colgate.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: I mean, Cornell, they're usually kind of one of the
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: better teams in the IVY, so that was a big
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: game for them. So maybe they'll be a little bit
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: hung over here against Albany. Albany likely to step up
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: against Colegate Albany coming off a loss to Seana, who's
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: another one of the teams in that area. In Upstate
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: New York. There Colegates all all the way up from
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: a six point favorite with seven and a half point favorite,
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: But I would fade them. I would take the points
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: of Albany. The total is also pretty low at one
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: hundred and forty two and a half, so I don't
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: have a whole lot else to say about it. But yeah,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: it's just weird that these teams are playing in Canadia.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: In Canada, we have BYU playing Dayton in Florida. BYU
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: ninth in the country. I mean, I think they're slightly
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: slightly overrated. I mean, I just always think that BYU
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: is overrated. That's just my thing. BYU coming off a
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: couple of big wins, huge games, actually three huge games
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: against Yukon in Boston, almost coming back and pulling off
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: the upset, then smashing Wisconsin back at BYU even though
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: I thought Wisconsin was in a revenge spot and we
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: took a loss in that one, and then BYU beat
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: Miami here in Florida, I believe, So that's a pretty
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: big win as well coming up all that. I don't know, man,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: it could be a little bit of a letdown scenario here,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: although Dayton is coming up beating Georgetown in overtime. That's
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: a decent win as well against a big ten team.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Although nothing look what BYU just had to do, although
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Dayton did have to beat they beat Marquett in overtime
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: a couple of games before that, and then I believe
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: we gotta win an NC Central in the sandwich spot
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: between the two n C Central covered. So I mean,
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: this is not a game I'm gonna touch, but I
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: would probably take the points with Date. With Dayton here,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game where I think it's
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: also probably a contrast of styles where I think if
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: you like BYU, you probably like the over Dayton plays slow,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: and they're probably correlated to an under seventy six percent
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: of tickets, fifty one percent of the cash on BYU
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: as a ten point favorite, totals down to one hundred
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: and fifty and a half, so I think, yeah, probably
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: it looks like Dayton getting some of the money there.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: I would take the points with Dayton. And then we
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: do have Santa Clara and Minnesota here in that Palm
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Springs thing. Santa Clara might actually be the better team,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: but they did take their first loss of the season.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: I talk about how somebodys that'll hang you over a
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: big game against Saint Louis, big loss, but will they
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: still step it up for a Big ten team like Minnesota.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Maybe they win Minnesota coming off a close loss as
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: well to Stanford, So not exactly in a great spot.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Santa Clara is up to a five
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. So the oizweckers are telling
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: you Santa Clara is the better team, but the money
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: seems to be coming in against them. Eighty percent of
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: the ticket, sixty one percent of the cash on them,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: so the money is fading them low total at one
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine and a half, So I guess
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: I would agree with the money and taking the boys.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: With Minnesota, I think they will probably slow the game down.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: But it's interesting that you have a West Coast Conference
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: team being the better team over a Big Ten team.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: We're seeing lines like that with Santa Clara and San
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Francisco this year, so those teams are better than maybe
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: they look. Let's go to hockey Poutine Bowl. Yeah, that's yeah, dude.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: I like poutine by the way. I mean, I don't know.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Some people seem to shit on it, but I like it.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: There are a lot of things you can do with it.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: I like the classic poutine. We have hockey basically all
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: day today. There's a lot of afternoon action. There is
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: a game at noon between Tampa Bay and Detroit. It
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: is interesting that Tampa Bay is a favorite on the
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: road at Detroit. So oddsmakers are telling you Tampa is
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: actually the better team, and they do have the better
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: record now because they've been on fire recently, and they're
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: actually good on the road too. At six two and two,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Detroit's okay at home eight five and one. Tampa Bay.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: They're just on a roll right now. They just beat Calgary,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: which is not really a game that I think they're
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: really gonna care about. I don't think they're gonna be
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: over confident or anything like that starting a road trip.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: They should be focused here. They did play Detroit earlier,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: I think, did they? I thought they did. Maybe they
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: didn't know they did. They lost at Detroit in October,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: so I guess maybe there is some revenge aspect of
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: this game. But it is a positive spot for Tampa
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: because they're starting a road trip with momentum too, So
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: I talk about how that is a positive spot. Usually
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: focus the momentum can carry through them. Detroit's bounce back
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: spot though, man, I mean, they just took a horrendously
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: ugly loss to this bad Nashville team coming off a
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: big game against New Jersey where they fell just short.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: So I think they fell into a sandwich spot. So
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: they're in a bounce back spot too. Both teams are
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: in good spots. I don't really have a strong opinion here.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: But the money's coming in on Tampa although they drop
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: for minus one twenty forty minus one seventeen, looks like
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: they have fifty two percent of the cash on them.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Fifty seven percent of the tickets are on Detroit, so
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: the money is saying Tampa. But there is a reason
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: why they're road favorite here. I won't really disagree with that,
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: but I don't feel strongly about it either. Red Wings
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: are dysfunctional. Yeah, that is what I'm what I'm being told.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: I don't really know. I don't know anything about like
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: the personnel or the I should like look into it
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: more because I do kind of have a dysfunction angle
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: in one of my football plays today. But yeah, that game.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: I just don't really pay attention to the hockey. And
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: I need to figure out when the dad trips are
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: man because that used to be a huge angle that
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: I would use in hockey, and now I just don't
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: even know when they're happening anymore. Like they might not
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: even be happening anymore. COVID might have killed them. I
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: don't know. Rangers at my Bruins at one pm Eastern here.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Rangers got to win for us the other day, big
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: win at Carolina could be a bit of a letdown
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: spot after that. They got Tampa after this. Do they
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: overlook Boston here? I don't know, because I think is
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: this a divisional matchup or is it not? No, I
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: think New York's in the metro right hilariously. The Rangers
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: are in last place in their division even though they
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: have more wins than regulation losses now, which is ridiculous.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: But will they show up for Boston. I don't know, Man,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: it does look like it's a letdown spot. I will
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: say that although Tampa Bay is not in their division either.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay is in Boston's division, but still Rangers.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: I mean, Tampa Bay's hot and they do have to
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: play Excuse me, yeah, Tampa Bay is hot and the
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: Rangers do have to face them tomorrow. So I don't know.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: The spot's not exactly great for the Rangers. He although
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: they're definitely good on the road. Bruins, they're in third
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: place in their division, even though their record isn't that good.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: Bruins are returning home from a road trip though I
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: know they're already back on the East Coast. They got
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: to win against the Islanders, which I didn't think they
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: were gonna win that game. Now they're in the actual
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: return home spot, though they haven't been back to Boston.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: So I talk about how that's not a good spot.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: When you return home from a road trip, you can
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: be distracted. You have to get back to home life.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: They've been away for over a week. They went to
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: the Pacific Coast, so it's not a good spot for
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: the Bruins. Rangers still good on the road, ten to
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: four and one on the road, although the Bruins have
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: been better at home than on the road. They're eight
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: to four and oh at home. Solid home record for
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: the Bruins. I mean, I probably lean with the market
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: here to the Rangers. I think that return home spot
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: is it is a big It is a bad situation,
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: man like, that's worse than the letdown spot. I think
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: that the Rangers are in lean to the Rangers here.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: There's also a reason why the team of the worst
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: record is favored on the road. Oddsmaker is still disrespecting
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: the Bruins. Money is coming in on the Rangers, but
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: you could have gotten them at a better price earlier
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: at minus one twenty four. They're minus one forty two
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: now sixty eight percent of the tickets and seventy six
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Ranger. So the money
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: is coming in on the Rangers side. I don't disagree
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: with that, but you gotta pay a little bit more
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: for it now I would if I was gonna do
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: it I would still probably do that money line, but
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: I don't know Flyers already did the Dad Trip? When
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: was it? Dude? I need to know this information, Like
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: you look it up online. You can't even find the
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: info about when it's happening. You got to tell me, man,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: when was that? Did they win? The dude? The Dad
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: Trip is a huge motivational spot. I need to know
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: when those are because you're usually getting that team at
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: a cheap price because they're they're away rich kids. Weren't
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: in January yet, they're all rich white kids pretty much
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: all right. I don't want to talk about every one
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: of these games that I just don't New Jersey at
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Buffalo is close to being a play for me. New Jersey.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: They're coming up of an overtime win, but it was
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: against Saint Louis. But I don't know, man, I mean,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: it was still overtime two days ago. But this is
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: a weird single game road trip against Buffalo. And New
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: Jersey has a bigger game up next against Philadelphia tomorrow
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: back at home, because those two teams don't like each other.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: And New Jersey just lost to Philadelphia on November twenty
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: second at Philly, and it was kind of an embarrassing
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: six to three loss. I think New Jersey is they're
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: in a look ahead spot here, man, so I think
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: they might get caught. I think Buffalo might be able
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: to get this one. Buffalo. We faded them in their
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: last game against Pittsburgh and we did get the win there.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Buffalo is in a letdown spot coming off the game
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: against Carolina we got the win. They're a bit more
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: rustic because they did have a couple of days off
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: before that. They're coming back home, but only from Pittsburgh
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: to Buffalo, very short trip there. I expect them to
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: show up against New Jersey. So this one's not quite
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: strong enough. But I like Buffalo. In this game. They
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: flipped from plus one on one dog to a minus
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: one twelve favorite. So the money is agreeing with me here.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Fifty three percent of tickets fifty six percent of the
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: cash on Buffalo. Yeah again, obviously I agree with that one.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: But we'll see. They did win a mom's trip. I
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna The mom's trip would be a
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: massive distraction like that would be awful. The dad's trip
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: is good because it's you know, you get to like,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: you want to impress your dad, Like the mom's trip
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge distraction. It's not actually happening.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: I assume. I assume you're joking. Philadelphia. I know it's
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: always a two day trip, but I got to know
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: this information. Man, was it a what was it? Was
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: it Saint Louis Dallas? Is that what it was? It
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: was probably this trip? So they got the win, dude,
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: I faded them. Fuck, come on, man, you gotta tell
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: me when it's a fucking dad trip. Because I faded
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: them in that first game on it against Saint Louis.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: I think this was it, but it was a horrible
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: spot for Philadelphia. Otherwise I would have at least probably
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: just not given it out as a play. But Saint
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: Louis is up five to three with three minutes left
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: in that game. I'm fucking pissed, dude. But Philadelphia was
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: coming on that game against Edmonton, so I didn't like
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: to spot at all. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, that was
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: a play for me. And then they got wrecked in
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: the other game on the dad trip on a back
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: to back against Dallas, assuming that was that trip. Anyway,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about, Well, I don't know if I'm
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: gonna talk about Philly in a bit. Gladwell did a
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: study on it that is pretty weird. Actually, how that
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: is the case, I don't know, man, Just guys that
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: love the cold Buffalo. Yeah, I mean, that's close to
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: making my card. You come on, there's no way a
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: mom's trip please, dude, I have to know when these
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: things are. When these things are happening, trip is solid.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: The dad trip is like a dude's rock type of thing. Man. Like,
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: it's a huge motivational angle because the guys they get
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: to take their dads along and they get to play. Well,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: it's like you're back in like high school, you know
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: what I mean, playing in front of your Yeah, like
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: you get to play for your dad. I'm the mom's
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: trip is gonna be a distraction. I think it's gonna
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: be a negative because your mom is just gonna be
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: like nagging you about shit, whereas your dad isn't gonna
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: do that. Like, your dad's just gonna pump you up,
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Dude's rock. Like I said,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: what other games am I gonna talk about? Oh, Philadelphia
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: and the Islanders. Oh that's one of my plays. And
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: I was just talking about them anyway. So we're on
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: the Islanders money line and minus one forty here. This
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: will this will be a play if you wanna. You know,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: if the price starts getting a little bit too high,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: usually my cut off is about minus one forty So
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: if you want to play it in a different way,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: you could do that. The money seems to be now
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: disagreeing with me. So this is what I have to
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: say about the market. Here, six percent of tickets, fifty
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Islanders. They did move
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: up for minus one thirty five to minus one forty five.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: Maybe this means the money line will come back down
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: a little bit in the minus one forty something range.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: Money line I think still makes sense, but I do
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: not like the spot for Philadelphia. I mean, first of all,
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: they just beat Florida and they I know they did
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: that already this year. I think they played Florida three
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: times already, but they've lost both games after playing Florida
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: so far. I mean, they were into Florida Sandwich early
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: in the season and they lost to Carolina, although they
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: played well, they took them into overtime. But then they
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: beat Florida after that, and then they got smacked by
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: winnipegg in the game after that, five to two. So
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Philadelphia is zero to two coming off of games against
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: Florida and they're own one and had one of their
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: worst games coming off the win against Florida. Now they're
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: coming off beating Florida again. They got to face the
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: Islanders here coming back up to the New York area,
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: and tomorrow they got that game against New Jersey, which
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: I said is a big game, even though Philadelphia did
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: beat I'm not that long ago. Again. I mean, Jeffrey
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong. But the New Jersey
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: fan base is split where you basically have South Jersey
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: is like the Philadelphia crowd and North Jersey. I mean
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: it's kind of samely. It's a Philly New York split basically,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: but like North Jersey, some of those are yeah, some
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: of those people like the New York teams, typically the Rangers.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Within the New Jersey fan base is up there in
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: North Jersey as well, and there's a divide in the
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: state of New Jersey. Big game, I think. So I
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: like the Islanders here, man, I think it's kind of
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: a sandwich spot. It's possible Philly overlooks the Islanders. But
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: even though the Islanders are ahead of them in their division, again,
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: you can only focus on so many games, right, So yeah,
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: I like the Islanders here. New Jersey is also a
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: divisional opponent, and they're just a better opponent, so might
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: be that look ahead spot there and because of the rivalry.
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: But also the Islanders are coming out of an ugly
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: loss staying at home. They're gonna want to split this
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: home stand, man, or get it beat back to two
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: and two because it's a long homestand they continue playing
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: at home after this. But they're one and two on
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: the home stand right now, coming off an ugly loss.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: But they only scored one goal. I know the Islanders
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: haven't been scoring recently. Three games in a row they
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: only scored one goal each, but I think they're gonna
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: be able to score more than that against a Philly
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: team that's let's just say questionable defensively and as questionable
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: goal ending, and the Islanders focus more on defense. So
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: I don't think that's a great matchup necessarily for Philadelphia either.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: So I like the Islanders here. Man, that's play one
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: in hockey. Wait, Lindro's bane, Brindemore's wife and is that
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: talk at Toche? It's Toche right, because Tooche? Did he
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: say Tooche after he knocked him out? Talk at knocked
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: him out? Yeah? Correct? Sell Jersey as flyers. Yeah, North
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Jersey is the devils. Yeah. I don't like the market
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: reads starting to disagree with me on that, But I
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: like the Islanders. I really don't like the spot for Philly.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: We have Ottawa at Saint Louis. I don't know if
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: I have a ton to say about this. Saint Louis
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: is coming up a couple of difficult losses to the
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Rangers and New Jersey in overtime against New Jersey, and
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: they're turning on from a road trips. This is a
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: pretty bad spot man for Saint Louis. They've been on
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: the road for over a week and I know, you know,
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: I talk about that when a team returns home from
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: a road trip, they tend to be a bit distracted.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: It's a bad spot. They went up to Eastern Canada,
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: they were out on the East coast. Now they're coming back.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: They do have a conference game up tomorrow against Utah.
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: Possible they overlooked this out of conference Ottawa team, even
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: though Attawa has been playing decent, but Ottawa. I know
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: they're in the middle of a road trip here, but
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: they're having to come out of the Pacific time zone
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: to Saint Louis, and they just beat Vegas in a shootout,
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: and they have Dallas next, So this was like a
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: sandwich spot in the Dallas that Ottawa is in here.
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: So I just can't do it. Both teams are in
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: terrible spots. This is a complete stay away from me.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: I think the spot is probably worse for Saint Louis.
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: I do think the return home spot is the worst
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: of the spots. But Autawa up for minus one fifteen
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: to minus one sixteen, seventy four percent of tickets, seventy
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: six percent of the cash on them. I mean slightly
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: in to Ottawa, I guess for that reason. But it's
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: horrible spot for both teams. Can't get involved in the
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: side there. Usually when I see situations set up like that,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: I lean towards an over. The total dropped a little bit,
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: I guess, to five and a half. It wasn't a
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: significant move, though it looks like the actual money might
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: be on the over eighty nine percent of tickets, ninety
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: six percent of cash on the over I'm not gonna
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: disagree with an over in that one. Like I said,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: I mean, that is probably my preferred approach in that game.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: Dirty sock, what's up? Man? I started early again. I
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: didn't even think I was gonna do the show at all.
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: I was, yeah, like pretty much contemplating like bridge jumping
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: last night. I don't know if we're allowed to say
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: it on the show. I saved my NFL Week two video,
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: By the way, it got taken down this many weeks
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: later for who knows what. I don't know if people
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: were reporting me or what, but it might have been
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: an automatic YouTube thing. But I appealed it and I
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: won the appeal and they restored the video because they
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: I don't know, they took it down for promoting a
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: gambling that's not legal in my state, which I wasn't like.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: I went and I looked at the video, and at
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: that time, I was just talking about the dildo props
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: in the WNBA, which I think we're legal at certain
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: sports books. And then I was talking about the look
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: A headlines, which I was just looking at a at
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: CBS to talk about the look A headlines. So I
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: don't know, but we're back up baby. All right, we
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: have Montreal in Vegas. I'll talk about it because it's
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: a fairly big game, but both teams are pretty solid. Vegas,
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: they returned home. They took a loss to Auto one.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: A lot of times I talk about when a team
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: returns on from a road trip, they get caught in
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: just traction spot. They tend to play better, bounce back
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: in the next game. Maybe they will do that here.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: So it's a somewhat positive spot for Vegas. Montreal coming
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: in from elevation after beating Utah, and they do have
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Colorado tomorrow. Will they really overlook Vegas though? I don't
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: really think so. But I don't know. I think the
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: spot sets up better for Vegas to me, But the
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: money's disagreeing. Vegas is up for minus one eighty to
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: minus one eighty four. Fifty percent of the tickets are
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: on them, sixty three percent of the cash coming in
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: on Montreal, so the money's on Montreal. I don't really
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: agree with it though, So we'll see what happens there.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: La and Anaheim is a big game between the two
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: kind of rivals that are down the street from each other.
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: And again, this is a game where the oddsmakers are
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: telling you not to buy into Anaheim because LA is
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: a favorite on the road, although both teams actually at
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: this point have similar records, and remember LA has been
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: basically the Rangers of the West. LA has been really
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: good on the road, really terrible at home. Although here
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: it's like something's got to give because LA is really
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: good on the road and Anaheim's good at home, and
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: both teams are really close to each other. So what
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: gives in this game? I don't know. LA's already up
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: for minus one thirteen to minus one thirty, so the
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: oddsmakers are telling you LA is the better team. Sixty
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: percent tickets only sixty five percent of the cash on LA.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: Though this is a tricky handicap man all around. We
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: faded Anaheim on Wednesday and they lost to Vancouver. We
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: got the win there, kind of an ugly loss. I
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: thought it was a bad spot because Anaheim had just
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: beaten Vegas and they did have this LA game next,
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: so that basically indicated that I felt that Anaheim would
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: show up in this game, and I do. I think
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: both teams will, though that's the issue. So Kings, I
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: think they're gonna show up as well. They just ended
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: a three game loss Streek with a win over Ottawa
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: and now they're they have a single game roadrope, but
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: they just have to go down the street and they've
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: had three days off. I don't know if that like
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: time off is gonna hurt their momentum or not, because
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: they just broke that lost streak, So I don't know.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: Man Like, if it disrupts a win streak, I do
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: think it's disruptive, but the fact that they only had
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: one win before going into the rest, I think the
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: rest will be helpful. So I think both teams are
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: gonna be focused. I kind of lean to LA because
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: they're good on the road and the oddsmakers are kind
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: of telling you what to think in the game. They're
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: nine to two and three on the road, which is solid,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: although I know Anaheim is eight three and zero at home.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: Anaheim is very good at home, but LA is significantly
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: better on the road than they are at home. So
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: although maybe the home distractions or are why LA is
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: not good at home, and maybe uh those will still
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: be in play here because they're still so close to home,
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: they could probably just still you know, be at home
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: right now. So I don't know. We'll see what happens. Oh,
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: thank you, sir. I'm glad that people appreciate this, but
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: uh yeah, I don't know, man, I I do not
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: appreciate myself. I know I've been really hot until last
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: night when I was so angry about being wrong about
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: all three games. Just today in the nflum I pick him.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: If only I got the Ravens right, I would have
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: not felt that way, and that game was complete bullshit.
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: You can go see my rant at the beginning of
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: the show. That was a bullshit game. It was not
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: what it appeared at all. Paid for being a tout.
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: I mean, well, dude, I mean, I don't know, because
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: my politics just are so like wild and I say
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: such uncouth crap on Twitter. I don't know if it's
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: gonna happen. I mean, I've hung out with some of
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: those people and they liked me, but I don't know
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: if they quite knew. Although Chris Thurst and ct bets
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: followed me on Twitter, I don't he might still follow me.
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I warned him when he
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: followed me, because I talked to him when I was
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: at that thing during March Madness back into twenty twenty four.
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: I was at a bar for the Final four and
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: it was like a Viva hard Seltzer thing. I've told
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: you about it where Kelly and Vegas was promoting and
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: she was there. It was in the Boston area, Yeah,
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: she was there. It was It was at a bar
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: restaurant that has like a ton of TVs. It was
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: a good setup for watching a ton of games at
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: once and every dude, it was awesome because we had
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: our own section. It was just all sports betters. There
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: were some guys from other podcasts there. Yeah, ct Bets.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: I warned him though, how like like uncouth I am
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: and whatever, And I think he is kind of like
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: a right leaning guy politically, but you know, I mean
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: those people have a lot of beefs with me too,
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: hugely so. And I think Kelly is too, but I
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: don't know, man, she doesn't follow me, though she interacts
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: with me on Twitter sometimes. And it was them too,
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: and uh no, no, walking Bets was not there, Jimmy
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: the Greek. Yet Kelly was like the only woman at
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: the whole thing. And dude, I mean she's fun, I
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: will say. I mean, as I've already pointed out, I
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: mean she he definitely likes to hit the sauce, let's say.
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: But I mean that's well known. But I mean I
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: don't think she like overdoes it or anything. But she
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: gets into like she talks a lot. She loves her dogs.
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: She starts talking a lot about that. She's I think
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: she's a happy drunk, if you want to call it that.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: That was fun and I like, like I said, Joe
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: Ranieri from wager Talk was there, and I liked hanging
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: out with him. He was mostly hanging out kind of
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: right at the bar, really, but he's funny dude. He's
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: really funny in person. Like I think I vibed with
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: him the best out of all of them. Yeah, I
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: kind of want to hang out with that guy again.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: I liked him. And then I met some other people there,
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: some people who do I mean, it was all people
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: that bet at least and whatever. This other guy followed
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: me who goes by like the Caveman or something, and
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: I glanced across the bar and I thought he was
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: Marco DiAngelo. He looks like Marco, but it's but it
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: was not Marcos. This dude called the cave Man. I
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: think it's from around here somewhere. He followed me. I
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: don't know if he had enough of my Twitter shit posting,
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: and maybe he still follows me. I don't know. I
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: liked that guy too, though, I mean I liked all
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: these people hanging out with them. Whatever it was. We're
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: doing it as a non alcoholic and I was hitting
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: the non alcoholic beers that they had there, which is
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: now my thing. I'm in the craft non alcoholic beer
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: space now, like trying out more of that. I had
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: a deal pickle one from Athletic yesterday. I have some
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: of them left, so shout out to them, which I
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: love pickles. And that is a wild beer man, It's
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: a sour. I like it a lot. I like the
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: strangeness man. But yeah, I'm going way off topic here,
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: but that event was fun because everybody in our area
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: had bets on like everything, and like I had an
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: under on one of the baseball games that was on
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: and I'm watching that. It was like Cubs, I forget
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: it was at Wrigley Field. It was one of the
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: days where the wind was blowing out. I forget who
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: it was Cubs and somebody I was like, yeah, I
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: got the under in that game. Everybody had action on
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: like the Final Four. To some extent, I think a
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: lot of the guys that I was with were on
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: Alabama plus the points against Yukon, and I think they
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: might have covered, like just snuck in at the end
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: and we all like barely won because I think I
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: had an Alabama team total under in that game because
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: there was such a three point shooting team, and I
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: thought moving into that big venue for the Final Four,
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: I thought would affect the site lines. I wasn't totally
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: right about it, but they did still sneak in under
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: their total because it was that plus Yukon plays way
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: slow and plays deep then, so I'm like, yeah, it's
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: gonna slow them down, man. So but we all won,
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: and we all barely won our bets. Right at the end,
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: everybody went nuts because it was like Alabama covered that
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: they went under their team total for me and we're all,
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: fuck yeah, everybody's high five and you know, yeah, I
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: mean that was fun for sure. Uh. I don't think
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: the other people in the restaurant appreciated it. They're probably
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: what the hell was going on because our space was
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: like right in the middle of the restaurant. We were
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: on one side of the bar because the restaurant. The
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: bar is right in the center of the restaurant, So
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: one side of the bar was where we were set up,
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: and it was all blocked off for the party that
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: we had with tables and stuff there and one half
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: of the bar, and then the other side of the
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: bar was for the rest of the restaurant. Oh man.
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: But of course, if you get a table at the
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: restaurant and you don't have to go up to the bar,
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: obviously they serve you, you know what I mean. So, yeah,
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: that's that's how it was. What is that, Hakeens? Is
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: that how you pronounced that? A pickle vodka? Sounds good
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: to me? Sixty proof? That's that's low for a vodka,
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: isn't it thirty percent alcohol? It seems like it should be.
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: It seems like it should be. It should be probably
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: at least eighty proof, I would imagine. But yeah, I
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: do it. I mean I used to drink lot of alcohol,
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: so we know. I was a craft beer guy. I
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: also loved a lot of the whiskies. I delved a
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: little bit into the rest of the stuff. I mean,
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: I would drink almost anything. Never really a wine guy, though,
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: that's that's not my thing. But you know, all right,
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: let's get back to the rest of this. Vancouver and
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: San Jose. I mean this game. I don't know if
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: I have a ton to say about this, but Vancouver
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: they did pull off that upset over Anaheim. That was
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: a big game, and they do have La tomorrow and
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: then Colorado, so it does look like a sandwich spot.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: So I guess you know, I do have something to
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: say about this. I would fade them in this game.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: I would look towards San Jose. The problem I have
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: with it is that San Jose is clearly not as
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: good as their record looks, because I think Vancouver, who
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: has the lesser record than San Jose, are favored on
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: the road at San Jose despite being in a bad spot.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: So that does worry me a little bit. But you
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: gotta think San Jose's in a bounce back spot. They
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: just lost six to nothing. I know it was to Colorado,
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: but Colorado also had a revenge motive because Colorado did
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: lose an overtime at San Jose, and after that game,
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: San Jose did actually play well on a back to back.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: The next day they took Detroit to a shootout, so
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: San Jose actually has played well after playing Colorado before already,
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: but they did have to travel to Elevation this time
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: and then come back, whereas the other time both games
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: are at home. So I don't know this game. It's tempting.
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: It's close. I think I'm leaving it off my card.
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: It's close. But the money is actually saying Vancouver in
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: this one, and I don't really know why. Throughout for
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: a rounds one twelve to minus one thirteen, seventy percent
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: of tickets on San Jose, fifty two percent of the
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: cash coming in Vancouver, So the money's coming into Vancouver.
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: So marcut Reede says Vancouver. I don't really agree with it,
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: though I would. I would lean to San Jose in
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: that one for sure, but it's not on my card. No,
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: I did not. I was a good boy. I did
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: not drink in high school. I had a little bit
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: in college, you know, because I was in the men's
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: glee club and it was like you gotta at least
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: do it, man, you gotta at least have some of it,
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: you know, not really hazing, but it was like kind
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: of like you gotta kind of do it, you know,
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: just to be in it. Like a lot of those
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: guys are frat guys and whatever. All right, so drink
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: some really like crappy beer. Whatever that was about it
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: not gonna InCred well saturret limitations is up, baby. But
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: I never was really into it. I never liked it
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: until until I started working in Boston. Like, I never
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: really did it hard, Like I was pretty much a
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: non drinker. I would have it like very very occasionally.
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: Never really did it up until I started working in
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: Boston my second job, and it was a massive party
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: at like an e commerce like retail website, which is
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: probably why the company went under and they had to
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: like lay everybody off as well. But that was a party, man,
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: And that's when when I really started doing it. No,
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: not for me. It wasn't for the young, No for me,
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: it was for me. It was between the ages of
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: twenty eight and thirty six is when I was doing
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: it for the most part. I wait fluctuated in college
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: quite a bit. I wighed about what I weigh now
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: in college almost like, well, I don't know, well, at
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: my best in college, I think I was close to
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: what I weigh now, maybe a little bit less in college.
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: But I started working out in college, so maybe some
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: of it was muscle, but I didn't weigh that much
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: like I was when I graduated high school. I kind
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: of looked like I do right now, like I was
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: probably in the one sixties, which is still where I
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: am right now. My weight has gone all over the place.
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: So and in college, dude, Like in college, you could
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: eat a ton and not gain weight, Like you just
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: have a good metabolism when you're young. And then I
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: started working out, like like junior senior year, we were
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: using the gym a lot, but it was easier to
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: do it because I was doing intramural basketball. I was
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: playing for an intramural basketball team, but I was also
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: the coach of that team. We were the only team
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: that even had a coach, which was hilarious. It was
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: a fun time. I got an interviewed for the school paper.
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: I started just because there was a random neck tie
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: on the floor of the gym, and I just put
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: it on and started coaching. And then I went out
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: to Dix and I got like a clipboard, started drawing
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: up plays and we got serious about it. Like my
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: team was like an undersized team and we were good shooters.
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: So I started like not that type of shooter, So
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: I started like running like Princeton offenses and stuff. Yeah,
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. We did well, Like we
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: made the fun of four in one of the one
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: of the years, and we lost to the eventual champion,
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: and we were beating them at halftime. It's just our
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: shooting went cold and they got too physical with us.
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, but yeah, And I would
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: go to the gym with a lot of the guys
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: that were on that team. We'd go, we'd lift weights,
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: we'd run, you know, all that time. Some of the
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: basketballs I kind of supplant the running. But yeah, and
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: then I was in the one sixties like around that.
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: I think I looked pretty good because I think some
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: of it was muscle too. And then after college I
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: got really bad, and really really quickly because I went
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: from working out like almost daily to not doing anything.
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: And I was working, you know, with computers, sitting at
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: a desk, and I was like, I can just I'm invincible.
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: I can still just eat all this garbage all the time.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: I got real fat, and then I had a stroke
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: and I almost died when I was twenty six. So
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: I got really fat and I started having a headache
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: issues because of blood pressure as well. After college, it
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: started right away, man, and I ballooned up to like
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: two hundred pounds, and then I finally got rid of
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: that weight. In twenty seventeen, I went like Keto and
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: I lost forty five pounds, so I got all the
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: way down to I got down like to one forty nine,
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: I think my lowest, and then I've gained a little
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: bit of a back. But I've been like at like
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: one sixties, like in the low one sixties is where
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: I've been for a long time. Now, That's where I'm at.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: But I'm really like I'm small. I'm five to six,
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: so I don't know. Yeah, I think it was impossible
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: for me to get fat in college, even though I
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: was eating a lot of crap. I was the player coach. Yet,
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: Bill Russell, that is true. And yeah, there are other
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: stories that I'll talk I think I've talked about them
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: before on the show, with us almost getting thrown out
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: of the league and then me getting a bunch of
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: ringers after we had multiple guys thrown off of our
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: team because we were doing things that we were not
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, Namely, we were using players that
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: didn't go to my school, which was not allowed. It was.
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: It was nowhere near as bad as you think, but
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: that's what we were doing. And we only got called
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: out because we had a rivalry with another team and
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: they like contacted the like league over us because of that. BS. Yeah,
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: I'll talk more about it at some point. With the
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: way the way that I the way that I went,
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: it was almost like a movie the way that I
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: got out and got a bunch of ringers. Although we
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: were probably not exactly the most sympathetic characters. Maybe we were.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: We were kind of like a don't a RAGTAGI ish
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: type of team. All Right, we have Toronto at Washington. Dude,
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: I gotta get through this fucking video. We still have
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: all this football to talk about and NBA. I knew
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: this was gonna happen. I hate this. I have to
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: get this done within the next like half hour, dude,
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: Like I have to do it. Toronto just beat Columbus
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: to break a law streak and that was a win
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: for us on the show. Maybe that will give them
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: some momentum to move forward into this game. Washington's coming
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: off kind of a bigger game against Winnipeg staying at home. Yeah,
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: you know, and they do have the Islanders next. Toronto
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: just hasn't been playing well, so I would lean to
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: Toronto here. The money seems to agree washing up to
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: minus one fifty seven here, sixty percent of the tickets
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: on them fifty or sixty seven percent of the cash
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: on Toronto market seems to agree with me on that one.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean as I as I will say,
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: I'll agree as well. I still don't like that the
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: markets disagree with me on the Islanders game. But whatever,
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: Winnipeg and Carolina. Carolina is a huge favorite in this
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: game though, so I don't know, like, what do you
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: want to do with this? I just mentioned it because
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: I still consider Winnipeg to be a good team. But
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: they've lost three games in a row. Maybe they'll be
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: motivated coming into this one because it is Carolina. Carolina
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: has been really good Carolina. They're coming off two losses.
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: The way, they're in a positive spot because they took
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: that loss that we were right on with the winner
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: on the show with the Rangers. Carolina took that loss
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: in a bad spot or return home spot. Now the
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: second game back home, it is a better spot. So
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: it is a positive spot for both teams here in
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: my opinion, Carolina is pretty decent at home. It's sixty
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: three and one. Winnipeg is alright on the run, it's
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: six' five and, One SO i, MEAN i don't. Know
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: with a line like this and both teams being, focused
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: maybe there's some Value and looking towards Taking, winnipeg there
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: are fifty five percent of tickets On carolina sixty nine
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: percent of the cash On. Winnipeg the numbers down from
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: minus two twenty three to minus two, thirteen So carolina
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: heavy favorite money seems to be fading. Them BUT i
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: don't know IF i really want to do anything with that.
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: GAME i MEAN i, don't BUT i MEAN i could
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: See carolina winning, it though pretty. Easily in a better
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: spot for Them nashville And. Chicago WHAT i will say
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: is that this is a rivalry, game which is basically
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: Why i'm talking about, it even though both teams are not. Great.
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: Uh CHICAGO i think is still overrated looking at their,
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: RECORD i don't think they're as good as their. Record
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: nashville has been playing like ass although they're coming off
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: a blowout win Over, DETROIT i don't think they're gonna
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: be in a look in A i don't think they're
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: gonna be in a letdown spot, though Because chicago they don't.
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: Like these teams don't like each. Other, man there's a
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: rivalry between these two teams for whatever. REASON i don't
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: really understand, it but that is just the way that it. Is,
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: chicago they're on a four game skid, now and they
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: did just Take minnesota into, overtime and they played its
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: tough game Against colorado of the game before. That SO
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: i don't know IF i love the spot For. Chicago
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: it seems like a tough spot for both. Teams looking
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: at that the money's coming in In. NASHVILLE i, mean
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: you really want money On. NASHVILLE i know they got
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: the money in the last, game but, Ugh chicago down
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: for mind is one to fifteen, aunts one oh nine
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: eighty three percent of the tickets on, Them so they're
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: public because it's like pick the winner, here but the
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: oddsmakers are telling you that even Though nashville's record is way,
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: worse that they're actually the better. Team chicago's not even
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: getting home ice factored into the line. Here as far
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: as how heavy of a favorite they, are how not
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: heavy of a. Favorite they are seventy eight percent of
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: the cash coming back On. Nashville i'll agree With nashville
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: in that, one BUT i don't love. It but, YEAH
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: i mean it's one of those, situations, RIGHT i think
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: just the records are not representative of who the teams.
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: Are thank, you, sir the Toad Lore, sab you like
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: The maymmoth and you Like. Toronto when is when Did
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: matthews come? Back? Though because wouldn't that be a reverse
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: injured player? SPOT i, MEAN i agreed With toronto, today
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: BUT i don't. KNOW i, MEAN i don't really factor
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: the reverse injured player spot into hockey that much, Though
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: BUT i don't know when he came back, Either so
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: if it's his first game, back that would still kind
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: of be a slight reason to maybe not Love. Toronto.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: UH i give out The islanders as a. Play but
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: speaking of, which my other play Is utah on the money.
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: Line speaking of, Which, SAB i don't, know he's in my.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: HEAD i Like utah as. Well we're gonna go With
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: utah here on the money. Line we're gonna Fade. Dallas
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: money seems to very much agree with. This dallas is
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: down for minus one forty two to minus one thirty,
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: seven seventy five percent of the tickets on, them seventy
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: six percent of the cash back On. Utah so the
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: money coming back On. Utah he played in the last.
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: GAME i gave out a play On toronto in the last.
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: GAME i wasn't paying any, attentions SO i don't, know
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: but at least that, means, yeah they're gonna have some
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: rhythm with him, Back so that's, BETTER i guess For.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: Toronto now money coming in On. UTAH i liked the
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: spot For utah. Here utah did just take a loss To,
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: montreal WHICH i mentioned that on my. Show that was
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: close to being on my card BECAUSE i said it
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: was a sandwich. Spot utah was coming off Wrecking, vegas
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: a Big Western conference, matchup and then they had this
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: out of conference game Against. MONTREAL i thought it was
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: a bad. Spot and again because they also had to
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: go To dallas next so that's a much bigger game as,
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: well so Another Western conference. Foe SO i thought it
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: was a sandwich. SPOT i didn't give it out as a,
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: play ALTHOUGH i was four and oh that. Day but
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: my additional leans went two to one that day with
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: the only loss being The chicago overtime. Loss but, YEAH
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: i Thought utah was in a bad, spot but NOW
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: i think they're gonna be in a bounce back. HERE
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: i know we might have to deal With vanachek and
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: which hasn't been as, good BUT i don't think it's horrible,
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: Really and you gotta think they're gonna be focused On dallas. Here.
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Man In, dallas they do like to play some lower scoring,
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: games so an underdog is more likely gonna be in
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: a game Against, dallas at least an underdog that knows
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: how to play, defense which is Not. Edmonton dallas coming
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: off that huge win Of edmonton the other night With
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: ottinger back and. NET i gave it out out as
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: a play that was a winner for. Us huge game For.
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: Dallas that was, revenge playoff, REVENGE i believe for last
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: year or, no they already got playoff. Revenge so that
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: was the second time they Beat. Edmonton BUT i think
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: it was a bad spot For, edmonton huge win For.
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: Dallas they turned around the next night with The smith
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: back in, net and they didn't even. Lose they Beat.
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: Seattle so Now ottinger's back in, net and now we're
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: looking at even though, yes he is their better. Goalie
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: but we're looking At dallas being in a return home spot, now,
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: Man SO i don't like. That as you, know they've
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: been off for over a. Week they had to go
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: up to The Pacific, northwest coming back home from a
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: successful road. TRIP i think they might be distracted against
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: A utah. Team it's not been playing that well recently
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: in the return home AS i talk, about you have
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: to get back to home. Life you got stuff to
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: do at. Home, YEAH i think they're gonna be in
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: this distracted spot. Here SO i like. It we'll Take
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: utah money line in that, game, Man and that is
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: the play, there all. Right montreal is a sneaky. Dog
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: vegas loss ers iss ujuh On montreal's. Momentum knights in
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: a return home. Spot, no The knights are in the
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: second game back. Home i'm pretty SURE i just talked about.
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: THAT i Like vegas in that. Game, vegas they're in
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: the second game back. Home they lost the first game back.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: HOME i think it's a positive spot for. Them And
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: montreal is coming off winning in elevation and having to
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: keep that up a second straight. Game. Toronto Beating toronto
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: was big for them, too SO i. DISAGREE i Like
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: vegas in that, game all. Right money doesn't agree with me,
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: though so Sob you're on the side of the. Money
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: so the market read is on your, side but the
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: mark get read is on your. Side BUT i DON'T
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: i don't agree with. IT, nba come, on, MAN i
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: don't want to DO i really have to talk about
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: all this shit and then we still have college. Football
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: this is, awful. DUDE i haven't EVEN i don't even
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: have my video On instagram out for the noon. Game.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: FUCK i don't Want i'm not gonna talk about every.
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: Game cleveland is At. ATLANTA i, mean that's a somewhat
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: big game. Here calves are coming off a blowout loss To.
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: Toronto they've had a bunch of days, off so it's
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: a pretty positive. Spot although they may look ahead, though
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: Because boston Embarrassed. Cleveland My celtics Beat cleveland by twenty
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: points In, boston so that is a rematch For cleveland,
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: there so there is a potential look at head hero.
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: THOUGH i gotta Think cleveland's gonna want to bounce back
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: from that ugly loss there and that they will show Up.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: Atlanta though they're coming off and even ugly your loss
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: getting blown up by almost twenty points By. WASHINGTON i, mean,
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: really that's an insanely bad. Loss so you gotta think
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: that they're gonna be in bounced back. Mode and maybe
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: they got caught looking ahead and they do have a
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: couple of days off as. Well, oh by the, WAY
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: i forgot to mention the other THING i like about
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: fading The Dallas stars is that they're playing a third
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: game in four, day's all in different. CITIES i forgot
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: to mention. THAT i believe that's the, Case so that's bad.
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: Too but, anyway back to, this both of these seems
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: to me look like they're in bounced back. Spots so
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: what do we do in this? Game the money's coming
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: in on The calves up from five and a half to.
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: SIX i kind of disagree with, it, though sixty and
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: ave percent of, tickets fifty six percent of the cash
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: on The. HAWKS i know The hawks look like a
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: public home, underdog which you never want to be on
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: a side like, that BUT i don't really see how
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: they're the. Public how would they be getting the public
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: action against The. CALVES i just don't get. IT i
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: think the spot could still potentially be a look ahead,
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: though And atlanta's loss was more. Embarrassing SO i kind
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: of Like atlanta in that. Game, man all, right some
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: of these, GAMES i, MEAN i, again these some of
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: these games are so. UGLY i just have nothing to.
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: Say i'll give out my play now more best. Bets
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: it's always the best bets. SEGMENT i have ONE nba
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: play and here it, is and it's going against the.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: Market but again the. Market can you, know take that,
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: Gesture we're gonna take The Orlando magic plus the three
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: and a half Against. DETROIT i think this is a
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: bad spot For. Detroit. MAN i saw some three and
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: a half's out. There you might have to get three.
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: Now BUT i, Mean detroit just took a loss to
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: my boss And. Celtics huge win for The. Celtics but,
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: AGAIN i talk about this when a team loses a
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: long win stream like. That detroit had not lost Since
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: october twenty. Seventh they literally had gone almost two months
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: without a, loss and now they take a loss in
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: a hard fought, game, which by the, way the refs
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: tried to hand the game To. DETROIT i don't know
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: if you saw That cunningham got foul when The celtics
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: were basically intentionally. Following he threw up a three from
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: almost half, court and the refs reviewed it and they
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: gave him the three free. Throws absolute. BULLSHIT i absolutely hate.
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: That he obviously was not gonna shoot the fucking ball
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: WITH i think they had like a two point lead
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: at that. Point obviously he was not gonna do. That
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: it was so fucking. Stupid but he actually missed the
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: last free throw and The celtics wound up. Winning but
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: that all that. Aside detroit's coming off of, that so
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: that could hang them, over, MAN i talk about, that
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: when you haven't lost it so, long you can definitely
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: be a hangover. Spot not only, that but they already
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: Beat orlando at home by almost thirty Or he's almost
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: twenty points at, home which was the win that started
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: their win. Streak So detroit did already Beat. Orlando orlando
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: might want a little bit of in season revenge, here
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: but of Course orlando's gonna show up anyway because It's.
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: Detroit you gotta think. So But detroit's also returning over
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: from a road. Trip they've been on the Road november.
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: EIGHTEENTH i know they didn't go that. Far they. BASICALLY
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: i mean they kind of stayed in the area sort.
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: Of they went To, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Indiana, boston but it's
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: still a return. Home spot could be a bit of a.
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: Distraction and they do Get miami, next And miami's been
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: hot And miami is A i, Mean miami's got a
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: better record Than orlando right, Now miami's leading their, division
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: And miami has their starting lineup back now basically, Too
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: so that's a bigger game. Too so bad, SPOT i
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: think For detroit Here man for a whole bunch of,
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: REASONS i don't like it at. All and that was
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: even bigger because they were trying to set a franchise
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: record fourteen straight wins and they didn't get. It so
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: now that's all. Gone they had to stay at thirteen,
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: wins SO i think maybe that might even add something
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: to this. Too as far As orlando is, concerned they're
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: starting to play better since they started not trying to go.
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: FAST i THINK i think they, decided let's just do
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: what what we were good at last year and play slow.
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: Again and, YEAH i know they're coming off a blowout.
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: WIN i get it Over. Philadelphia they blew them out
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: by forty one. Points that's. Ridiculous NORMALLY i don't want
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: a team that blew a team out by forty one.
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Points but are they really gonna be in a letdown
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: spot out of beating This philadelphia? Team and by the,
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: Way PHILADELPHIA i had like nobody in their lineup in that.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: Game there was no mb there was No Paul. George
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: SO i don't. KNOW i, mean There's orlando really gonna
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: be like overconfident off of. THAT i just don't think.
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: SO i think they're gonna show up for A detroit
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: team to kind of embarrass them earlier in the. Season
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: detroit team is all the rage right now and it's
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: like the top of the. Conference, YEAH i Think orlando
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: will show. Up orlando had a couple of days off.
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: Too they're trying to finish the road trip here and
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: they're one and one on the road trip right, now
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: so they have a chance to split the road. Trip
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: the line looks ridiculous at three and a half. Two
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: it almost looks way too easy to Play. Detroit AND
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: i know they're really good at home seven and, ONE
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: i get, It but if you're gonna Fade, detroit they're
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: they're good homean way like it doesn't even really matter
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: that much right. Now but and, YES i Know orlando
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: is Without, benchero so it looks, really really weird For
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: detroit to only be laying this many. Points the oddsmakers
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: might be accounting for a little bit of the situation,
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: here but even all that being, SAID i don't Think
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: cunningham's out of the lineup or anything like. That SO
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: i don't know this. Line it looks way, way way
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: too easy to lay the. POINTS i don't understand how
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: it looks like fifty one percent of the tickets are
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: on The magic right. NOW i don't get. That and
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: The piston's down from five and a half to three
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: and now with eighty percent of the cash on. Them
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: that makes me worried that there is some, injury but
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: looking at the injury, report that doesn't seem to be.
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: Anything So i'm going with the. Spot we're gonna take
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: The magic plus the points in that one plus three
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: and a. Half, YEAH, mgm they kind of, YEAH, mgm
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: kind of lags behind a little. Bit, Yeah vegas played To,
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: ottawa that's, correct stronger. Leans, yeah every. GAME i wasn't
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: planning on doing every game in, football but there were
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: a lot of big games of, football all, right and
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: then what else do we have here as far as THE.
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: NBA i, mean there are a lot of these games
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: THAT i just don't. Like. MAN a lot of these
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: games are just huge favorites WHERE i just don't really
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: have a strong opinion on most of these. Games. MAN
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: i mean, again LIKE i looked at these games And i'm,
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: LIKE i got. NOTHING i Mean Milwaukee New, YORK i
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: guess was the only other one where there WAS i don't,
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: know kind of an interesting thing going on here Where.
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: Milwaukee i'm looking at this game And i'm, like, Well
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: milwaukee just lost At, miami but they did play them.
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: Tough now they're going To New. York The. Knicks you,
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: know they have the better record right. Now The, KNICKS
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: i believe are still Without. Anonobay but The knicks are
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: returning over from a road. Trip BUT i know they
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: blew Out charlotte to finish the road, trip but that
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: road trip is mostly against some kind of weak, Teams
- 1:52:46Speaker 1: like the teams that they beat were all weak Teams, Dallas,
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: brooklyn And. Charlotte now they're returning home from a road.
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: Trip they've been on for over a, week so that
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: could be a bad spot returning over from a road,
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: trip and they Have toronto, neck so that's a big.
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: LOOK i had. SPOT i Think toronto really really hot right,
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: now and Then boston after, that so they might overlook
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: This milwaukee. Team except THEN i looked at this, game
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: and the problem Is milwaukee looks like they might be
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: in a reverse injured player spot Because yiannis looks like
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: he's coming back. Here, man he's, questionable AND i think
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: if he's gonna, play if HE'S i think if he can,
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: play he's probably gonna do. It because this is a
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: game against The. Knicks it's. Big yannis has been insane this,
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: year averaging over thirty one points a, Game so if
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: he's coming back in you, KNOW i always talk about
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: how when a star player comes, back especially the dude
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: who's literally carrying the, team well not exactly literally but.
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: Almost you, know when that, happens he's got to work
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: his way. Back the team's got to shift roles. Again
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: it's kind of a chemistry. Thing the line's gonna overadjust to.
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: That so that is WHAT i worry, about because if
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: he wasn't coming, BACK i would pretty much be all
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: over The bucks in this. Game the spot is really
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: bad for The. Knicks oither up to an eight and
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: a half point in. Favor they're very, public ninety six
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: percent of the, tickets ninety eight percent of the. Cash
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: i'd be looking to take the points of The, bucks
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: BUT i worry about that With giannis coming. Back min
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: although If jannis was coming back with the line be
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: this high on The, KNICKS i don't exactly. Know, maybe
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: SO i worry about, it. Man so it's got to
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: be a stay. AWAY i, mean maybe if it's announced
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: That giannis is not, playing maybe we have to jump
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: in on. THAT i guess IF i, do Maybe i'll
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: put it on An instagram video on. It but, YEAH
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: i MEAN i don't love. It and, AGAIN i don't
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: really have much to say on these other, games SO
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: i know we're gonna abbreviate the show a little bit.
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: Here but we got, football lots of football. Noontime my
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: first game. Up we have one game at noon and
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: this is gonna be. It it's in. Football we're gonna
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: be On Mississippi state plus seven and a. Half this
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: is a, weird weird setup in this, game. Dude one
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: of the weirder ones That i've ever, seen to be,
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: honest this, game it looks Like mississippi is public for.
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: Now but so we're fading the PubL with a little
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: bit more of the cash on. THEM i don't know
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: if it's really gonna stay it that. Way seventy percent of,
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: tickets eighty one percent of the cash on Ole. Miss
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: we're gonna Fade Old miss here, though man an Ole.
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: MISS i, MEAN i don't want to say everything is
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: in front of Them like, NORMALLY i like to fade
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: teams that are basically like they control their own destiny
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: and win in they're. In that's not the case for Ole,
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: miss h Ole. Miss they can only get into THE
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: Sec championship if they win and teams above them. Lose
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: AND i think they kind of Need alabama gonna. Lose, well,
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: no they do have the, TIEBREAKER i guess Over ALABAMA
- 1:55:30Speaker 1: r AND i forget how it works, out but they.
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: Can't it's not just win and they're in THE Sec.
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: Championship they need at Least georgia to. LOSE i Think Ole.
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: MISS i, mean as far as they're, Concerned, yeah SO
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: i know they're. Not they don't control their own. Destiny
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: but BASICALLY i think if they, win they're gonna be
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: in the playoff, Though like even if they don't get
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: into THE Sec, CHAMPIONSHIP i think if they, win they'll
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: be in the playoff because they'll be a one LOST sec.
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: TEAM i think there's no way they can get left
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: of the playoff if they. Win but there's some things
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: going on With Old miss THAT i do not like at,
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: all and that is mostly That Lane kiffin is like
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: meeting with other teams and they're saying he's gonna make
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: his announcement after this, Game so what the hell is?
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: That like what kind of a motivational thing is? That, Like,
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: like do you think the team is gonna show up
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: and play in this game really hard if they don't
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: know If Lane kiffin is, staying like he's gonna coach this.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: Game but it's like the team's got this huge question,
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: mark like, oh hanging over their heads, now like what
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: is Lank kevin gonna? Do and it seems like he's
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: gonna be, Leaving so he's almost like a lame duck coach.
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: Now so it seems totally bizarre for a team that
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: might make the playoff to have a coach that's leaving
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: and gonna be a lame. Duck AND i think if
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: he was, staying he would have announced it before this
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: game to get the team pumped up for this rivalry
- 1:56:50Speaker 1: game The Egg. BOWL i don't, know, MAN i think
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: they're gonna have this in their. Heads it's a big
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: time question. Mark it's gonna throw some unstabil some instabil
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: into this. Situation. MAN i don't like it at. All,
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: YEAH i, MEAN i don't know what to say about.
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: It Ole. Miss GENERALLY i would be not really wanting
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: to fade them because they came off that game Over
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: florida or they didn't play that. Well but now it's
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: Like Lane kiffin might be. Gone it's very very, bizarre.
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: Man and Ole miss has actually played a fairly weak schedule.
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: TOO i, mean their biggest win was on the road
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: Against ou THE lsu win is not looking very good right.
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: Now in the other, game they lost At georgia and
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: blew a big lead in that. Game, yeah they played,
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: well but Ole miss is probably not exactly as good
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: as their record, looks. Man and now they're gonna be
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: up against a Hungry Mississippi state team that this is
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: gonna basically be a game where they're gonna go all, out,
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: man Because Mississippi state they could get a six win
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: here and make a, bowl which they have not made
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: a bowl since twenty twenty, one which is also the
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: last time they Beat Ole. Miss SO i think there's
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: a lot of motivation on the side Of Mississippi state, here.
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: Man they're a little. Brother it would mean a lot
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: to this program to get back to a bowl this.
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: Year they're coming off an ugly loss In, missouri a
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: couple of ugly. Losses they've actually faced some more difficult
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: schedule Than oh MISS i mean out of. Conference they
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: had to Play Arizona, state they had to Play. Tennessee
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: they played competitively. There they lost TO a AND, m
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: but that game was somewhat closer towards the end of the.
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: Game they played pretty competitively Against texas and they lost To.
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: Georgia and then yeah they lost Some, MISSOURI i mean.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: Whatever but more difficult schedule in the sid Of Mississippi state, here.
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: MAN i like it for all those. Reasons we're gonna
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: take the points With Mississippi state and that one and
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: hopefully the cowbells Get we need more cow bell in that.
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: Game The Egg. Bowl, YEAH i don't, KNOW i don't really.
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: KNOW i think it's because the trophy is supposed to
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: be a, football but it looks like an, egg so
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: it's the egg bowl. Stacks what's? Up thanks for hanging.
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: OUT i gotta get out of here soon. Though, man
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: this is like we do Have utah and nebre And kansas. Year.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: Now the thing About utah they can make The Big
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: twelve championship, still but they need a lot of, things
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: like it looks like they can't even do it BECAUSE
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: i don't know how they can even get, in which
- 1:59:04Speaker 1: there is some scenario where they get, in AND i
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: don't really understand it Because utah lost TO byu And Texas,
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: tech which are the two teams ahead of them in
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: The Big, twelve so they don't have the, tiebreaker so
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: how could they possibly get. In but there is some
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: scenario where they get. IN i don't really understand, it
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: but there. IS i think they need LIKE byu to.
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: LOSE i think they Need Texas tech to lose as,
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: well and they Need Arizona state to. WIN i don't.
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: Know it's some very very bizarre. SCENARIO i don't. Know
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: but when they're in a scenario like that of The
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: utah can kind of just focus on the game because
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: they're in a situation where it's like you don't control
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: your own, destiny, right and there's just this outside chance
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: that they might be able to get, In so like
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: all you can do is really. Win DO i really
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: want to lay points With utah on the, Road not.
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: Really In, kansas they didn't make a bowl last. YEAR
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: i don't think they made a bowl two years, ago
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: so they. Could they need a win to get bowl.
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: Eligible so maybe they'll be motivated. Here and it is Senior,
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: day by the, way WHICH i forgot to. Mention In Mississippi,
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: state these home teams are in their Senior day this,
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: week so that's big. Too the final home game where
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: you're gonna go all, out especially if you think you
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: might not make a, bowl you're gonna go all out
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: and try to do. That, Man and, like at the
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: very least you get to play well On Senior. Day,
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: kansas they'll be trying to make a bowl at the very.
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: LEAST i think they'll show, up especially because they were
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: embarrassing last. Week we took that embarrassing loss last week was.
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: Terrible you does down from thirteen to ten and a,
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: Half you're sixty eight percent of the tickets seventy one
- 2:00:30Speaker 1: percent of the cash on. Them DO i really want?
- 2:00:34Speaker 1: TO i don't, know, MAN i don't really have a
- 2:00:35Speaker 1: strong opinion on. THIS i would probably lean towards taking
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: the points With, kansas BUT i don't love it at.
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: All iowa At, nebraska WHICH i think Is, zach that's your, team, Right?
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: Nebraska there is? It No, Nate it's, RIGHT i DO
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: i get everything mixed? Up now It's. NATE i THINK
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: i don't even remember this. GAME i, mean both of
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: these teams don't really have a whole lot to play for, now.
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: Man Iowa. Nebraska iowa was up from five to, six
- 2:01:01Speaker 1: is a road favorite, here fifty seven percent of, tickets
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: sixty percent of the cash coming in In. Iowa the problem
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: With nebraska is they're Without. Ryola and after they had
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: that one really big step up game For latif playing
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: in his you, know home crowd basically IN la and
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: they BEAT, Ucla nebraska was really bad in his next
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: game back home Against Penn. STATE i had that as
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: a lean Towards Penn state on the. SHOW i should
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: have given it out as a, play should have added
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: it to my pick, five pick, six, whatever pick, seven
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: but Maybe nebraska they're just not as good without Latif.
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: MAN i know this is senior day for, them BUT
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: i don't. Know, again both these teams are not going.
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: Anywhere they're both going to some bowl at, Least But
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: iowa had an ugly performance last week, themselves barely Beating
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: Michigan state in their senior. NIGHT i don't. Know i'm
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: kind of leaning Towards iowa in this. Game with a
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: defensive team in a low total, game laying points on
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: the road is not not very appealing to. Me ohio
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: At buffalo and the Mac ohio pretty. MUCH i think
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: they're in a situation where if they, win they're into
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: THE Mac. Championship, so you know, WHAT i don't love
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: that when a team controls their own destiny because it's
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: almost like the pressure builds too. Much it's like winning you're,
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: in you know WHAT i, Mean like teams play looser
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: when they don't control their own, destiny when it's kind
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: of like out of their. HANDS i talk about this
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: at the end of THE nfl. SEASON a lot didn't
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: really have situations like that THAT i really jumped in. On last.
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: WEEK i was more looking for teams THAT i just
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: thought wouldn't be motivated at. All But. OHIO i mean
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: they're going on the road To buffalo. Here buffalo is
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: gonna want, it, man Because, buffalo they they still need
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: to win to Become bowl. Eligible AND i know they
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: were in a bowl last. YEAR i think they, were
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: but still that's one of their goals this year is
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: to make a. Bowl it's Senior day for, them so
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: it's their last home, game so they're in one of those.
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: SITUATIONS i think they're gonna go all out as. Well
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: i'll just try to get into a bowl. Here they
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: also have a chance, to you, know kind of spoil
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: it For, ohio even THOUGH i know they're not the
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: biggest of. Rivals but Still, BUFFALO i think they're maybe
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: a little bit worse than the record makes them. LOOK
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: i don't think they're a horrible team in THE mac.
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: Here they're getting a lot of points at home, too
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: AND i think With ohio, again you're having to lay
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: a lot With ohio in a game where they just
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: need to, win and they're in, too so they don't
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: need style points. Either they don't need to win and
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: cover in this. One fifty four tickets fifty two percent
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: of the cash on them totals all the way down
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: to fifty, four which makes it a lot more tempting
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: to want to take the points with the home underdog.
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: There that's the WAY i would Lean buffalo plus the points. There,
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: yeah don't have a whole lot else to say about.
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: That we got some ugly other games. Here i'll talk
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: about the bigger games and my, plays and Then i'll
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: try to get out. Here, WELL i have to talk
- 2:03:40Speaker 1: ABOUT nfl. Too number Four georgia and number twenty Three Georgia.
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: Tech this is a weird. Game this game is very
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: hard to. Handicap the motivation, Man, georgia they're number four right,
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: now so they still have a chance to be one
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: of the teams that gets to buy in the. PLAYOFF i,
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: well actually maybe They maybe they don't BECAUSE i think
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: the conference winners get. THEM i, Forget, NO i forget
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: exactly how it. Works. Now maybe that's not. RIGHT i don't,
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: know BUT i. Forget maybe they they do have An,
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: well of course they still have a shot because they
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: could win THE. Sec So georgia still has that in
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: front of them. Too but this is also not AN sec,
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: game So. Georgia as far As georgia getting into THE Sec,
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: championship that's out of their hands, now AND i know
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: that is one of their goals is to get into
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: THE Sec. Championship and their bigger goal though is to
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: make the, playoff is to like get you, know get
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: into the Play their goal is a, championship, right AND
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: i think if they take a second, loss they'll still
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: be in the. Playoff THE sec again is out of
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: their hands. Here so this is not AN sec, game
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: and last week's wasn't AN sec game. Either they barely
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: showed up Against charlotte and they didn't even cover The
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: they didn't even score the points spread in the. GAME
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: i think they were like a thirty eight point favorite
- 2:04:50Speaker 1: and they only scored thirty. Five but that being, said
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: it was obviously a game Where georgia just didn't even
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: show up and they still. Won now this, game how
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: much does it matter To, GEORGIA i don't, know. MAN i,
- 2:05:02Speaker 1: mean a second loss would at least kind of prevent
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: them from getting a buye in the, playoffs SO i
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: think they still kind of want. That they still want
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: to get to THE Sec championship for that, reason although
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: again for them to get into THE Sec. Championship they
- 2:05:14Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. Now they got one loss
- 2:05:16Speaker 1: and they just need teams to basically, WELL i think
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: they're basically. IN i don't. KNOW i don't know if
- 2:05:23Speaker 1: some teams could leap fraud them or, not SO i don't,
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: know but it is out of their hands. Now Georgia
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: tech dropped to number twenty. Three Georgia tech is a
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: very overrated, team AS i kept talking, ABOUT i don't
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: think they're even a top twenty five, team and they
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: just took a brutal loss To pitt that almost Eliminates
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: Georgia tech from THE Aec championship. Game they could still get,
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: in but this is not AN acc, game of, course
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: so it's out of their. HANDS i mean they. Can't
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: like they're gonna need teams above them to, lose and
- 2:05:51Speaker 1: they're gonna need a lot of things to happen to
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: get into THE Aec. Championship, now it's, possible but highly.
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: Unlikely so you might, say, well that might be the
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: dream crusher because they were gonna try to win THE.
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: Acc Georgia tech is not gonna wind up in the
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: champ in the playoff, now man LIKE i know THE
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: acc would have an automatic BERTH i think for the.
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: Winner But Georgia tech basically can't get there now unless
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: some really unlikely circumstances. Happened but does that mean that
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: Now Georgia tech is gonna treat this like their bowl?
- 2:06:18Speaker 1: Game it's still a huge game Against. Georgia it's the
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: final home. Game or it's not. Home ACTUALLY i think
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: it's a neutral site. Game let me. See, yeah it's In.
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: Atlanta it's At Mercedes Benz stadium where last YEAR i
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: think it was actually At. Georgia If i'm not, MISTAKEN i.
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: Forget but, YEAH i MEAN i see reasons why both
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: teams might show up, here but it's really really hard
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: for me to gauge this one. Man And georgia does
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: remember That Georgia. Tech if you, Remember Georgia tech took
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: them into like multiple overtimes last, year so that was
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: kind of. Crazy georgia kind of remembers, THAT i, think
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: and Maybe georgia will be more focused because they Know
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: Georgia tech almost upset them last. Year georgia is up
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: from thirteen to fifteen and a. Half here sixty six
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: percent of, tickets seventy five percent of the cash on,
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: Them So georgia is getting some of the money. Here
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: if you liked, them you probably needed to get it
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: before they went through the two touchdown threshold because that
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: is a significant move through the. Fourteen i'm staying away
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: from this game, completely but, YEAH i, MEAN i don't
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: want to do anything with the. Game But georgia is
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: definitely the better. Team Georgia tech is overrated, completely Whereas
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: georgia is probably somewhere around the top five, teams so
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: they're not very. Overrated Georgia tech is definitely still overrated
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: and has been throughout the, season SO i don't, know
- 2:07:36Speaker 1: that's WHAT i think about. That And georgia has the
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: way better deepfense. Tours Georgia tech is more of an offensive.
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: Team temple has to win to Become bowl. Eligible, yeah
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: that is gonna be a motivating. Factor next, Up i'm
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: gonna give out another. Play we're gonna Take New mexico plus.
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: One nobody Thought New mexico would even be in this. Situation,
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: Man we're gonna Fade San Diego. State they're down for
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: minus one and a half to minus, one sixty one
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: percent of the tickets on, them so they're public sixty
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: two percent of the cash On New, Mexico so the
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: money's coming in On New. Mexico San Diego. State they're
- 2:08:10Speaker 1: in a spot where they control their own destiny. Completely
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: they're atop The Mountain. West they already Beat Boise, state
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: which was their huge. WIN i don't believe they PLAYED,
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: unlv But New mexico is just kind of in, there
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: and it's, like who are these? Guys San Diego state
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: might overlook. Them man In San Diego state, again if they,
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: win they're gonna host The Mountain west title. Game so
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: they win and they're the one seed in the in
- 2:08:33Speaker 1: the conference and that's. It they can lose and still
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: get into the championship game as. Well by the, way
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: so there is that scenario where they actually don't need
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: to win to get into The Mountain West. CHAMPIONSHIP i
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: think the only they could actually get knocked out of,
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: it BUT i think a lot of stuff would have
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: to happen for them to get knocked, out although it
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: is possible Because New. Mexico from their, Perspective New mexico
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: could actually if they win this, game they're gonna take
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: the tiebreaker away From San Diego. State So San Diego.
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: State if they, lose they're gonna Need Boise state to,
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: LOSE i, believe or ACTUALLY i don't, know Because San
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: Diego state has a tiebreaker against them because they beat,
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: them so maybe they, don't so Maybe San Diego, State
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, know are they actually locked into the championship.
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: GAME i didn't think they. WERE i don't think they.
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: Are but still they basically control their own destiny here
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: where it's like win and they're the. Host BUT i
- 2:09:22Speaker 1: Think New mexico is absolutely just free rolling. Here Man
- 2:09:25Speaker 1: New mexico didn't think they would be anywhere close to
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: this this. Year they got a new coach this year and,
- 2:09:30Speaker 1: whatever and they've played quite. WELL i know they haven't
- 2:09:33Speaker 1: had the most difficult, schedule But New, MEXICO i mean
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: they've played competitively and like pretty much all their most difficult,
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: games and those all came on the road, too like
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: At michigan and At Boise. State they didn't play horribly
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: in those, games and those are both on the, road
- 2:09:48Speaker 1: and they did lose by seven At San Jose. State
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: but they're better than the record. Looks And New mexico
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: won on the road AT. UNLV i KNOW unlv is,
- 2:09:56Speaker 1: overrated but still that's a good. Win And New mexico
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: is also under feed it at, home so and it's
- 2:10:02Speaker 1: gonna be their senior, day so they're gonna go all
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: out for. This and, AGAIN i think when a team
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: didn't even think they were gonna be here at, all
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: and basically like if they win and then a couple
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: other things, happened they can actually get into the they
- 2:10:13Speaker 1: could actually potentially host The Mountain West. Championship, YEAH i,
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: MEAN i think the team's just gonna be playing way
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: more loose man because, again they just didn't even think
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: they were gonna be. Here and For San Diego state last,
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: WEEK i, mean they weren't a letdown spot because they
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: Beat boise the week before, that but, Again boise lost
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: their quarterback the week before. THAT i, KNOW i Liked
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: boise in that game because it was an injured player
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: at theory, spot but they couldn't get it. Done that
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: backup quarterback For boise is. Awful San Diego state should
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: have been an a let down coming off of. That
- 2:10:45Speaker 1: they didn't exactly play well Against San Jose. State even
- 2:10:48Speaker 1: though they beat them twenty five to, Three San Jose
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: state Outgained San Diego state in this, game but they
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: lost the turnover battle by, two so statistically it looks
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: like the game should have been way. Close oh, sir
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: And San Diego state actually kind of got. Outplayed that's
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: not a good. Sign and the other not good sign
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: For San Diego state is they haven't been good on the.
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: Road they got blown out By Washington state on the.
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: Road they got blown out By hawaii on the. Road
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: so their two losses both came on the road in
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: really ugly. Fashion they do have some road wins Against,
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: nevada though they Suck. FRESNO i, Know fresno's kind of
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: in the mix there in this conference sort, of but
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: they're not that good. Either and then that was. It
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: so oh In Northern iowa they only are excuse, Me
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: Northern illinois they only beat on the road six to,
- 2:11:35Speaker 1: three and that No Northern illinois. Team they're decent defensively
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: that they are bad beating them six to. Three that's pretty, bad.
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: Dude SO i Like New mexico in this one man
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: and the money seems to. Agree so that's the next.
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: Play oh, god how we're gonna get this? Done? Man
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: temple And North texas it is ON Espn North, texas
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: they can get into The American Championship. Game if they,
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: win they're gonna be. In but, AGAIN i don't like
- 2:12:02Speaker 1: teams to control their own. Destiny navy was able to
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: get it done last, NIGHT i, think WHICH i didn't
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: think they were gonna be able to do. IT i
- 2:12:09Speaker 1: Thought memphis would win that. GAME i was. Wrong But North,
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: TEXAS i mean people have seen, that like Crazy North texas.
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: Offense oh and now all they need to do is
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: win and they're in and it is their senior night.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: Whatever BUT i don't, know, Man temple is gonna be
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: motivated again because they could spoil it For North, texas
- 2:12:27Speaker 1: but also they need to win to Become bowl, eligible
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: WHICH i think would be fairly big for them BECAUSE
- 2:12:32Speaker 1: i don't know when the last time they were in
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: a bowl. Was they're on a three game skid right,
- 2:12:36Speaker 1: now AND i think they might show up for. It.
- 2:12:39Speaker 1: Man they might treat this like a big, game like
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: if they're not gonna make a, bowl this could function
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: as their bowl game and who, knows like maybe they'll
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: be able to pull it. OFF i don't. KNOW i,
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: mean probably not as a twenty point. Underdog but if
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: you Want, temple you only need them to cover the
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: number here ninety three percent to take a sixty five
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: percent of the. Cash On North, texas they're very. PUBLIC
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: i would take the points With. TEMPLE i don't think
- 2:13:01Speaker 1: they're gonna, win BUT i think they're gonna be motivated
- 2:13:05Speaker 1: enough they can come within this, number AND i Think
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: North texas's motivation is a little bit. Questionable, SO i,
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: MEAN i know it's winning they're, in but, again that
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: kind of puts more pressure on you and it makes
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: that team overvalued in the market because the oddsmakers know that.
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: Too boise is At Utah. State boise still has a,
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: chance SO i don't want to say their dream crush.
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: IT i, mean if they, win they're pretty much gonna
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: be in into The Mountain West championship, still SO i
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: think that is a spot where that doesn't mean they
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: control their own destiny, though which AGAIN i don't Like
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: Utah state In Senior night they have a chance to
- 2:13:38Speaker 1: spoil the. Season Although Utah state did just Become bowl
- 2:13:42Speaker 1: eligible last, week and that is big for them because
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: they haven't been to a BOWL i think for a bit,
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: now so that's. Big but of course they're gonna show
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: up For boise as well at home On Senior, Day
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: SO i would take the points With Utah state Here
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: boise is down from three to one and a. Half
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: it almost looks too easy to Play boise here sixty
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: five percent to take a seventy nine percent of the
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: cash On Utah. State so, YEAH i MEAN i would
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: look towards taking it With Utah state. THERE i Mean
- 2:14:10Speaker 1: indiana And. PURDUE i Mean indiana is a giant. Favorite
- 2:14:13Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot to really say about. This
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: they're probably gonna remain undefeated and be in The Big ten.
- 2:14:18Speaker 1: Championship purdue likely we'll try to show up in what's
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: gonna be their final game of the Season senior night at.
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: Home they're not going to a. Bowl SO i would
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: probably take the, points, uh Because indiana they don't even
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: really need style points right. NOW i, mean they're gonna
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: be one of the top seeds in the playoff almost.
- 2:14:34Speaker 1: Certainly sixty nine percent to take a seventy nine percent
- 2:14:37Speaker 1: of the cash In, indiana they're a twenty eight point
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: favorite twenty eight and a. Half though on the. Road,
- 2:14:42Speaker 1: PURDUE i mean they're an in state little brother at
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: this point Doing, indiana SO i expect them to at
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: least come out with motivation. There whether or not they can,
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: COVER i don't, know but it is a big. Number
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: i'd take the points and then my final. Play we're
- 2:14:55Speaker 1: doing a lot of you, know we're doing a lot
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: of fading. Perception we're gonna Take texas plus two and a,
- 2:15:02Speaker 1: half ALTHOUGH i think you don't have to take this
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: now BECAUSE i think it's it is actually already at,
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: three so we're Gonna i'm gonna list it at. THREE
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: i think. THERE i was gonna, say wait to get a,
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: three But i'm pretty sure if it's not there right,
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: now you'll be able to get. It BECAUSE a AND
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: m is gonna be. Public sixty percent of, tickets fifty
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: nine percent of the cash ON a AND. M they're.
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: Public they're up to. Three now they're having to go
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: on the road to Face. Texas texas is the better. Defense.
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: MAN a AND m is a decently balanced team to
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: definitely the better, offense but better defense at home getting,
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: Points i'm gonna start looking that way In. TEXAS a AND.
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: M they're undefeated and they are absolutely not the third
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: best team in the. Country, Man i've expected the wheels
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: to come OFF a AND m for a. While looking
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: at their, schedule it has not been that. Difficult they
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: had that nice win At Notre dame earlier in the
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: season When Notre dame was kind of struggling out of the.
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: Gate and since, then what have they. DONE i, mean
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: their biggest wins are AGAINST lsu on the, road AND
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: lsu Had they've completely fallen. Off they're not that. Good
- 2:16:02Speaker 1: and then they did win At, missouri AND i don't
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: remember If missouri's quarterback was injured at that point or,
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: not but that was a BAD i think that was
- 2:16:10Speaker 1: a loss For russ on the, show but, yeah that
- 2:16:11Speaker 1: was not. Great and then they almost. Lost they were
- 2:16:14Speaker 1: down thirty to three To South carolina and they somehow
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: escaped with a win in that. Game and last week
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: they had an easy game Against. Samford but now they're
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: having a step way up in class to Face. Texas
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: texas is legitimately gonna be the best team that they've
- 2:16:26Speaker 1: faced since they Played Notre. Dame, DUDE i, mean they
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: have not faced the team as good As texas for a.
- 2:16:31Speaker 1: WHILE i know everybody makes fun Of texas's. Offense the
- 2:16:34Speaker 1: public doesn't want them Arch manning's not, GREAT i get,
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: it but this is still a good defense in a
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: spot WHERE i expect them to show. Up, Man texas
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: pretty much knows they're not gonna be in the playoff,
- 2:16:45Speaker 1: now ALTHOUGH i think there's an outside chance. THAT i
- 2:16:47Speaker 1: don't want to say that because they have three, losses
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: so they're probably not gonna get. In but they probably know,
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: that and they're gonna treat this like Their Super. Bowl.
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: Man they get to spoil the party for a and
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: m knock them from the ranks of the. Unbeaten and
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: these teams don't like each. Other it's a home game For,
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: texas so it's Senior, day it's the last game of the.
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: Season texas is gonna care more about this than if
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: they missed the. Playoff texas is not gonna give a
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: shit about whatever bowl that they're. In they're not gonna.
- 2:17:13Speaker 1: Care so they're gonna be a team you want to
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: fade in their, bowl though they'll probably have a bunch
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: of players drop, out WHICH i hate because then you
- 2:17:19Speaker 1: can't get value fading them. Anymore but this is the
- 2:17:22Speaker 1: game they're gonna show up. For, MAN i think this
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: game matters more than whatever bowl they're gonna be. In
- 2:17:26Speaker 1: they're likely not to make the, playoffs SO i think
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: they're gonna show, up AND a AND m not as
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: good as their record, looks so we're going With texas
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: plus the, points and then we do Have arizona Against Arizona.
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: State arizona twenty Fifth Arizona state. Twentieth, REALLY i think
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: the handicuff comes down To arizona wanting revenge for last
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: year Because Arizona state came Into arizona's house and beat
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: them like forty nine to seven last, year just a
- 2:17:51Speaker 1: totally embarrassing, loss AND i Think arizona's gonna want to
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: redeem themselves from. That we Faded arizona last week BECAUSE
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: i thought this would be such a huge look ahead
- 2:18:00Speaker 1: spot to this, game and they still want to cover
- 2:18:02Speaker 1: it and beat. US i don't know, how but that
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: does show you That arizona they can just play well
- 2:18:06Speaker 1: even in a bad. Spot Arizona state's coming up easily
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: beat In, colorado but that's not, impressive, MAN i, mean
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: their last couple of wins really haven't been that. Impressive
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: SO i kind of Like arizona in this, game but
- 2:18:18Speaker 1: the money's disagreeing with, me don't know Why arizona did
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: go up to one and a half point road. Favorite
- 2:18:23Speaker 1: so the odds makers are telling You arizona is the better.
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: Team but part of that is Because Arizona states quarterback
- 2:18:29Speaker 1: has been gone for a while, Now, levitt so he's
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: not coming. Back Arizona state's offense is definitely worse without.
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: Him sixty nine percent of the tickets On, arizona's fifty
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash On Arizona. State BUT i
- 2:18:40Speaker 1: just don't agree with. It my lean would beat Two
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: arizona in that. Game and then we do HAVE, nfl
- 2:18:46Speaker 1: and you know the way THAT i lean in THE nfl.
- 2:18:48Speaker 1: Game it's not a play for. Me but this is
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: just simply the oddsmakers are telling you what to. Think
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: The eagles are a seven point. Favorite if you agree
- 2:18:56Speaker 1: with me with The, EAGLES i think you got to
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: lay the seven before it gets to seven and a
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: half BECAUSE i think it. Will they have sixty eight
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: percent of tickets seventy five percent of the cash on.
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: Them both teams are sitting at eight and, three and
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: when you see an eight and three team favored by a,
- 2:19:08Speaker 1: touchdown the public's gonna want to come in and take
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: the underdog here like perceiving the teams, incorrectly. Basically but
- 2:19:16Speaker 1: the oddsmakers again are telling you The bears are, fake
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: And i've been saying that all. Along The bears have
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: only beaten two teams with winning, records and one of
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: them just became a team with a winning record, Yesterday.
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: Dallas and the other team is some team it's like
- 2:19:30Speaker 1: barely above five, Hundred, pittsburgh the team that they beat last.
- 2:19:33Speaker 1: Week every other team The bears have beaten this year
- 2:19:35Speaker 1: are teams with losing. Records they. Suck The eagles have
- 2:19:38Speaker 1: faced a much more difficult. Schedule the only problem THAT
- 2:19:41Speaker 1: i have with The eagles is that they have not
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: won by margin a lot this, year so that's kind
- 2:19:46Speaker 1: of the. Issue they've won a lot of close, games
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: SO i do worry about, that and the fact that
- 2:19:50Speaker 1: it's otal is. Low BUT i would lay, it and,
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: AGAIN i would do it before it gets to seven
- 2:19:54Speaker 1: and a. Half lay the, seven even with like a
- 2:19:56Speaker 1: little bit of an extra, juice because seven is the key.
- 2:19:58Speaker 1: Number but this spot is really just about Fading chicago
- 2:20:04Speaker 1: being a massively overrated, team AND i think at some
- 2:20:06Speaker 1: point it's gotta, happen even THOUGH i do expect both
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: teams to show up. Here chicago does Have Green bay,
- 2:20:11Speaker 1: next which is a huge, game And i'm not gonna
- 2:20:13Speaker 1: say that they're gonna overlook The. EAGLES i wouldn't say that,
- 2:20:16Speaker 1: because of, course The eagles are the returning. Champs everybody's
- 2:20:19Speaker 1: gonna get up for. That but The eagles are coming
- 2:20:21Speaker 1: off an embarrassing loss To. Dallas so they blew a
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: twenty one to nothing lead and never scored. Again they're
- 2:20:27Speaker 1: gonna BE i think they're gonna be, really really angry
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: after that coming into this one, man they're gonna get
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: a pissed off The eagles. Team they don't have anything
- 2:20:34Speaker 1: to look ahead. Too even though it's a primetime, game
- 2:20:36Speaker 1: it's against AN afc, Opponent. CHARGERS i think The eagles
- 2:20:40Speaker 1: are gonna show up in this one. Man AND i,
- 2:20:43Speaker 1: mean at least they did win and cover against like
- 2:20:46Speaker 1: The giants Of, minnesota THOUGH i know again looking for
- 2:20:50Speaker 1: them to win and cover it hasn't happened that that.
- 2:20:52Speaker 1: Often but and one of the times that it did
- 2:20:54Speaker 1: against The, rams and they covered Against Tampa bay, TOO i.
- 2:20:57Speaker 1: Think but against The wims that was on that kick are,
- 2:21:00Speaker 1: touchdown which was total, Bs but, ANYWAY i think it's
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: a bounced back spot for. Filling chicago is probably the
- 2:21:07Speaker 1: most fraudulent team that we've ever seen in THE. Nfl
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: As i've been pointing, out they still have a negative
- 2:21:12Speaker 1: point differential minus, three meaning that teams have outscored them
- 2:21:16Speaker 1: on the season in their. Games they have a negative
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: yards for play differential in the games that they, played
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: meaning that teams have gained more yards for play against them,
- 2:21:27Speaker 1: consistently WHICH i think they've only had more yards for
- 2:21:30Speaker 1: playing only a handful of games this year than their,
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: opponent a few games that face an extremely weak. Schedule
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: and what else DO i have to say about? It Caleb,
- 2:21:38Speaker 1: williams his numbers aren't very. Good i'm just not buying.
- 2:21:41Speaker 1: It The chicago offense is mediocre at. BEST i think
- 2:21:45Speaker 1: they're below average if you look at the guys that
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: do like the, metrics and then they're a bottom five
- 2:21:50Speaker 1: defense in THE. Nfl So phillies should be able to
- 2:21:53Speaker 1: move the ball Against. Chicago, Man SO i Like filly
- 2:21:57Speaker 1: in the. Game it's not a play for, me but
- 2:21:59Speaker 1: that's gonna do. It once, Again my play is because
- 2:22:02Speaker 1: we have a ton of. Them college Of basketball n
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: G I t plus the, Points Charleston southern plus the,
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: Points wisconsin minus the, Points Mississippi state plus the, One
- 2:22:12Speaker 1: pittsburgh plus the. Points football Also Mississippi state plus the,
- 2:22:17Speaker 1: Points New mexico plus the, One texas plus the, points

- 2:22:35Speaker 1: yeah fuck The. Bears I'm i'm ready to be right
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: finally and see The bears epically. Collapse AND i don't
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: Like Caleb williams, either BECAUSE i just think he. SUCKS
