Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Public is betting overs. The money is betting unders. Boston
- 0:05Speaker 1: College and SMU, we got 97% of the money on
- 0:08Speaker 1: the under on only 25% of the tickets. Middleton C
- 0:12Speaker 1: in Kansas has got the exact same split. And over
- 0:15Speaker 1: in the Sun Belt, James Madison opened 13.5 against Marshall.
- 0:20Speaker 1: It is 19.5 now. That is six points of steam.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I feel like nobody's really talking about it, but we're
- 0:26Speaker 1: going to.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Can you believe it? It's football. I've been watching it
- 0:32Speaker 2: for 40 years.

- 1:01Speaker 1: Friday Pod.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I'm your host, Gary. This is the undercard.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It's everything that ain't in the 10 best, ain't in
- 1:06Speaker 1: the next 15, and usually is not in Three Dog
- 1:09Speaker 1: Thursday as well. We got line moves. We got where
- 1:13Speaker 1: the money is against where the tickets are. We got
- 1:15Speaker 1: the undercard breakdowns, Friday night games, Saturday midnight, a trend buffet,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and I'm going to give you a watch guide with
- 1:24Speaker 1: basically every window so you know where to park it
- 1:27Speaker 1: on the couch. Let's go on and jump in. Let's
- 1:32Speaker 1: start with the board. These are DraftKings numbers. They're open
- 1:34Speaker 1: to current. Biggest move on the undercard is James Madison.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Opened minus 13.5 against Marshall. Now it's minus 19.5. That's
- 1:43Speaker 1: six points. Right through 14. Right through 17. Behind that,
- 1:47Speaker 1: Georgia State opened a 1.5 point dog to Old Dominion.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Now it's Georgia State minus 2.5. That is a favorite flip.
- 1:53Speaker 1: You guys already know. If you follow me on BuyMeACoffee.
- 1:58Speaker 1: what's going on there. UMass went from 2.5 to 6
- 2:00Speaker 1: against Eastern Michigan. Toledo went from 17.5 to 20.5 at
- 2:05Speaker 1: Ball State. Texas State went from 4.5 to 7.5 at
- 2:08Speaker 1: San Diego State. And we'll talk some about that in
- 2:13Speaker 1: the mumps. And Georgia Southern flipped from a 1.5 point
- 2:20Speaker 1: dog to a 1.5 point favorite at Coastal. As far
- 2:24Speaker 1: as other moves, Moves that went toward the dog. Wyoming,
- 2:30Speaker 1: 21 down to 17.5 against North Dakota State. Buffalo, 16.5
- 2:34Speaker 1: down to 14 against Western Michigan. And San Jose State, 5.5
- 2:39Speaker 1: down to 3 at Hawaii.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Now, the totals, I.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Feel like this is the story of the weekend. Bowling
- 2:47Speaker 1: Green at Miami of Ohio opened 50.5. It's now 43.5.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I mean, that's seven points of movement. Western Michigan, Buffalo,
- 2:54Speaker 1: it's down 5.5. UTEP New Mexico down 5. Temple USF
- 2:57Speaker 1: went down 4. Of the 11 undercard totals that moved
- 3:01Speaker 1: 3 points or more, 8 of them went down. The
- 3:04Speaker 1: only ones that are climbing are UTSA Rice. That went
- 3:07Speaker 1: up 4. I mean, that tracks because I don't think
- 3:09Speaker 1: Rice can stop UTSA. Indiana Rutgers went up 3. And
- 3:14Speaker 1: Army and Louisiana Tech went up 3. So, let's talk
- 3:19Speaker 1: some splits. I went through every page of the DraftKings
- 3:22Speaker 1: betting splits. just to get it from one specific book.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I'm only going to talk about the games where the
- 3:28Speaker 1: money and the tickets disagree, because 100% and 100% on
- 3:31Speaker 1: a MAAC game is... I mean, that's about three bets.
- 3:34Speaker 1: That's not a signal, that's a group chat, right? So,
- 3:40Speaker 1: let's start with Boston College at SMU. The under has
- 3:43Speaker 1: 97% of the money on 25% of the bets. BC
- 3:46Speaker 1: plus 21 has 79% of the money on a third
- 3:49Speaker 1: of the tickets. When you see stuff like that, it's...
- 3:53Speaker 1: Very interesting. Middle Tennessee at Kansas. Same shape, right? Under
- 3:59Speaker 1: has 97% of the money, 25%.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Of the bets.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Temple plus 6.5 at South Florida. 81% of the money
- 4:08Speaker 1: on Temple on just 36% of the tickets. I typically
- 4:12Speaker 1: don't like to be on this side of it. But,
- 4:15Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. Navy plus 3.5
- 4:17Speaker 1: against Air Force. 66% of the money on 40% of
- 4:21Speaker 1: the bets.
- 4:22Speaker 2: And Arkansas.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And Texas A & M, total bets are split 50-50.
- 4:27Speaker 1: The money is 100% on the under.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Found that interesting. Found that interesting.
- 4:35Speaker 1: On the big games, you've already heard about the under
- 4:36Speaker 1: monies everywhere, right? Ohio State, Iowa, under 96% of the
- 4:39Speaker 1: money on 9% of the bets. Auburn, Tennessee, 94 on 13. Washington, USC,
- 4:45Speaker 1: 83 on 5%. So keep this in the back of
- 4:51Speaker 1: your mind this weekend. The public has bet the over.
- 4:53Speaker 1: The money has bet the under. I'm intrigued. I am very,
- 4:58Speaker 1: very intrigued. Let's go to.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Well, before we do that, before we get into the games,
- 5:08Speaker 1: if you're enjoying the show, and I hope you are,
- 5:11Speaker 1: do me a favor. Hit the subscribe button. Whether you're

- 5:19Speaker 1: nice five-star review if you would so kindly. If you're
- 5:21Speaker 1: on the podcast side... Leave a review. I'm going through
- 5:25Speaker 1: my YouTube notes.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Leave five stars. I would appreciate that. Tell me what
- 5:31Speaker 2: you like. Tell me what you don't.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Like, that's the easiest way, the cheapest way to help
- 5:34Speaker 1: this thing grow. It takes about 20 seconds or so.
- 5:38Speaker 1: We'll keep the gambling insights and the entertainment coming. You know,
- 5:41Speaker 1: you just help us spread this thing. That's all we
- 5:44Speaker 1: got to do. All right, let's get to the games.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Let's go with a Friday game we have not discussed
- 5:49Speaker 1: just yet, and that's Liberty at Delaware. It is 6 p.m.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Central Time on CBS Sports Network. Liberty opened minus 7.
- 5:59Speaker 1: It is 6.5 now.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Total is 50.5.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It hadn't budged. This is Conference USA. This league is
- 6:05Speaker 1: wide open. Next week, by the way, starts Tuesday night football.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday night football. And I am stoked about it.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Kennesaw State is struggling. Western Kentucky has been awful. The
- 6:17Speaker 1: winner between Delaware and Liberty really takes a step forward here.
- 6:20Speaker 1: So I think it's a pretty important game What's weird,
- 6:25Speaker 1: Liberty got 87% of the spread money and 73% of
- 6:28Speaker 1: the bets, and the line moved towards Delaware. And, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 1: it's reverse line movement. The money's on one side, number
- 6:36Speaker 1: moves the other way. On the money line, Delaware pulls two, wait. Yeah,
- 6:42Speaker 1: Delaware plus 230. That is pulling 37% of the money
- 6:46Speaker 1: on 8% of the tickets. So there's people taking a
- 6:51Speaker 1: big swing on this home dog. But there is an
- 6:54Speaker 1: asterisk with it, right? The Delaware quarterback, Nick Minucucci, I
- 7:00Speaker 1: hope I said that right, he hurt his knee against Virginia.
- 7:02Speaker 1: He was listed questionable earlier this week. There's a couple
- 7:06Speaker 1: of spots that think that the passing game is going
- 7:07Speaker 1: to struggle with or without him. 20% on third down
- 7:12Speaker 1: against Vandy, 29% at Virginia, but those are not Liberty's defense, right?
- 7:19Speaker 1: But Delaware's pass rush leads Conference USA at three and
- 7:22Speaker 1: a half sacks a game. The run defense held Virginia
- 7:24Speaker 1: to 2.9 yards a carry. Now, Liberty is coming in
- 7:29Speaker 1: off a big win at Coastal 34-17 last week. Delaware
- 7:32Speaker 1: beat that same Coastal team 22-14. Liberty won the meeting
- 7:36Speaker 1: last year 59-30, but these are completely different teams now.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm interested in this, right? Like, reverse line movement, a
- 7:50Speaker 1: projection inside the number, a home dog with You know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: pretty nasty pass rush.
- 7:55Speaker 2: I got kind of lean Delaware here. Just keep an
- 7:59Speaker 2: eye on the quarterback.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Right? I don't know that there's going to be a
- 8:03Speaker 1: huge difference. I'm just Delaware at home. This is an
- 8:06Speaker 1: experienced roster. I'm curious about it. Next one up, we
- 8:12Speaker 1: got to talk a service academy game. Cannot believe we
- 8:16Speaker 1: didn't put this on the next 15. Navy at Air Force.
- 8:20Speaker 1: This one is 11 a.m. Central, CBS. It's in Falcon Stadium.
- 8:24Speaker 1: No neutral site, nothing like that. But it's the first
- 8:28Speaker 1: leg of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy. Navy has won the last two.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Last year, Navy edged Air Force 34-31. Air Force opened
- 8:36Speaker 1: minus 1.5. That's now up to 3.5. It went right
- 8:40Speaker 1: through that key number to 3.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Total opened 49.5.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It's now 46.5. It got down to 45.5 at one point,
- 8:43Speaker 1: and people started taking the over. I mean, if you
- 8:51Speaker 1: look at the money, 60% of the bets are on
- 8:53Speaker 1: Air Force. 66% of the money is on Navy plus
- 8:56Speaker 1: three and a half. The total, like 100% of the
- 9:01Speaker 1: handle is on the under. I find that interesting. It
- 9:07Speaker 1: also lets you know that betting splits are not always
- 9:11Speaker 1: completely accurate. There's a lot of different models that have different.
- 9:22Speaker 2: on this.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I've seen some that have this more of a pick-em game.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I've seen some that have Air Force by a touchdown.
- 9:32Speaker 1: The bigger bets, the computer, those are on Navy. Both
- 9:36Speaker 1: teams run the triple option. That means fewer possessions and
- 9:39Speaker 1: a running clock. It's why this totals in the mid-40s.
- 9:43Speaker 1: It kicks at 10 o'clock in the morning mountain, which
- 9:44Speaker 1: is early for a Navy team that had to fly
- 9:46Speaker 1: halfway across the country. You're getting the hook on three.
- 9:51Speaker 1: The money's on the dog. And in a short possession game,
- 9:55Speaker 1: a field goal and a hook matter a lot. I
- 9:58Speaker 1: would tend to lean Navy here. I don't feel great
- 10:01Speaker 1: about it because I know that Air Force can open
- 10:04Speaker 1: this thing up so I'm curious I'm curious what they're
- 10:09Speaker 1: saying or what ends up happening this is going to
- 10:12Speaker 1: be a lot of fun to open up Saturday with
- 10:14Speaker 1: but you're going to have to have it on a
- 10:16Speaker 1: side screen because I know you want to watch Keelan
- 10:18Speaker 1: and Camario So let's talk Boston College and SMU. This
- 10:24Speaker 1: one's 11 a.m. Central Time on the CW in Dallas.
- 10:28Speaker 1: The loudest split on the board here. SMU opened minus 21.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Now it's 21.5. The total opened 56.5. It's now 55.5.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Two-thirds of the bets are on SMU. 79% of the
- 10:35Speaker 1: money is on Boston College plus 21. And as far
- 10:36Speaker 1: as the total, three out of four tickets on the
- 10:38Speaker 1: over are 97% of the money is on the under.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I mean, that's about as lopsided as a split gets, right? I'm...
- 11:00Speaker 1: I don't think that I would want to fight 97%
- 11:01Speaker 1: of the money. Like, the under 55 and a half
- 11:06Speaker 1: does seem to make sense. BC has a pretty decent defense.
- 11:12Speaker 1: And SMU hasn't exactly shown that they are capable of, like,
- 11:17Speaker 1: blowing out anybody.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Boston College.
- 11:19Speaker 1: has hung in with a lot of teams that I
- 11:21Speaker 1: didn't expect them to. So I'm, again, interesting spot. I
- 11:29Speaker 1: don't know that I would fight against 97% of the money, but, man, boy,
- 11:36Speaker 1: that'd be a huge sportsbook win, wouldn't it? Syracuse and UConn,
- 11:40Speaker 1: 11 a.m. Central on CBS Sports Network. Syracuse opened minus 6.5.
- 11:43Speaker 1: That's now 7. The total dropped from 53.5 to 50.5.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Syracuse is 1-2, and I.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Mean, good gracious.
- 11:59Speaker 1: I'm looking through this. The bets are split 50-50 on
- 12:03Speaker 1: the spread. 93% of the money is on Syracuse. You
- 12:06Speaker 1: flip it to the money line, though, UConn plus 215,
- 12:08Speaker 1: it's got 63% of the money on 21% of the bets.
- 12:11Speaker 1: A lot of people liking UConn to win this thing outright.
- 12:15Speaker 1: So the big spread bettors like the Cuse and the
- 12:17Speaker 1: big money line bettors like the dog. I don't think
- 12:25Speaker 1: I would want to lay a touchdown with Syracuse right now.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Not on the road.
- 12:28Speaker 1: But the way that everything went last year, Fran Brown
- 12:32Speaker 1: made his boys run sprints after the UConn game. I mean,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I'm a pass on this one. Syracuse should win it.
- 12:45Speaker 1: They should be way better. But, man, it seems like
- 12:49Speaker 1: Steve Angeli has kind of dropped some things. I'm curious
- 12:52Speaker 1: about this backup quarterback, what they're going to end up
- 12:54Speaker 1: looking like. It's the kid that, it's Odom that was
- 12:58Speaker 1: the starting quarterback at Kennesaw last year. So I'm curious
- 13:02Speaker 1: which direction they go if they keep running with Angeli
- 13:04Speaker 1: because he just, he don't look the same that he
- 13:06Speaker 1: did when he started off last season. Stanford at Wake.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Another 11 a.m.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Game.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Wake open 12 and a half. It's now 13.5. Wake
- 13:16Speaker 1: has 76% of the spread money. On the money line,
- 13:20Speaker 1: Stanford plus 400 has 75% of the money on 3%
- 13:23Speaker 1: of the bets. That's pretty crazy. That's an early game.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Home favorite. Steady team.
- 13:36Speaker 1: It's on the ACC network. I'm so curious about this
- 13:43Speaker 1: Wake Forest team. Like, does Jake Dickert let them have
- 13:47Speaker 1: an emotional letdown? Like, I doubt it, but who knows, right?
- 13:55Speaker 1: I mean, this is a big-time spot for them. They
- 13:57Speaker 1: lost to Miami. They come back. They beat Louisville on
- 14:00Speaker 1: the road. Now they've got to come back home. Stanford,
- 14:04Speaker 1: this is a really early.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Game for them.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I mean, this is a 9 a.m. body clock game
- 14:08Speaker 1: for them. So I would stay away from it, personally.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to expect out of this.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Marshall at James Madison. This one, 2.45 p.m. Central Time
- 14:19Speaker 1: on ESPNU. It's the biggest line move on this entire undercard.
- 14:23Speaker 1: James Madison opened minus 13.5. It's minus 19.5 now. I mean,
- 14:30Speaker 1: that's such a huge move. The second biggest one from
- 14:35Speaker 1: an opener behind Miami and Clemson. When a number goes
- 14:38Speaker 1: through 14 and 17 like that, either the opener was
- 14:41Speaker 1: wrong or the market knows something that we don't. Like,
- 14:44Speaker 1: I could not find a public reason for this. I
- 14:47Speaker 1: would check the injury bug, you know, injury report before
- 14:50Speaker 1: you bet it. Like, the splits are all JMU, spread
- 14:53Speaker 1: and over. But, I would imagine it's thin volume, so
- 14:58Speaker 1: I'm not going to read too much into the percentages. Like,
- 15:02Speaker 1: James Madison is 4-0. They are just murdering everybody. I'd,
- 15:10Speaker 1: The value, I think, kind of got squeezed out of
- 15:12Speaker 1: this if you were going to bet James Madison. Like,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I wouldn't chase the steam here. I mean, if anything,
- 15:20Speaker 1: if I had to make a selection, if you're in
- 15:22Speaker 1: a pick-em or something like that, I would almost go
- 15:25Speaker 1: with Marshall at this number because I still trust that offense.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I think the defense is okay. I think the bad
- 15:33Speaker 1: showing against Gardner-Webb was just, that's an absolute look-ahead spot.
- 15:37Speaker 1: They don't care about that one. The Penn State game,
- 15:40Speaker 1: they didn't care about that one. That's a bye game.
- 15:42Speaker 1: You start playing second string, third string really early there.
- 15:47Speaker 1: This is where you get into conference play. So I
- 15:51Speaker 1: think that this Marshall team is better than they've shown.
- 15:55Speaker 2: But who knows?
- 15:56Speaker 1: I mean, James Madison does look really, really good. They
- 15:59Speaker 1: look fantastic. Arkansas and Texas A & M. This one,
- 16:03Speaker 1: 6 p.m. Central Time. This is a night game on ESPN2.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Kyle Field. Not bad.
- 16:09Speaker 1: It's weird that this would be called an undercard game,
- 16:11Speaker 1: but Arkansas has been so bad. A & M opened
- 16:14Speaker 1: minus 14.5. Yes, this A & M team that just
- 16:17Speaker 1: got destroyed by LSU 35-6, they are now over a
- 16:21Speaker 1: two-touchdown favorite over Arkansas. Total went from 51.5 down to 50.5.
- 16:27Speaker 1: A & M' s got 89% of the spread money, but
- 16:31Speaker 1: the bets are split right down the middle. It's 100%
- 16:34Speaker 1: of the money on the under. On the money line,
- 16:36Speaker 1: Arkansas plus 450 Or plus 455. It has 64% of
- 16:41Speaker 1: the money on 6% of the bets. So, there's some
- 16:44Speaker 1: people that are betting the upset here. I don't know
- 16:46Speaker 1: what they could possibly see on this. You know, models
- 16:55Speaker 1: like the under. The money likes the under. The numbers
- 16:59Speaker 1: already moved a point.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Like, I'm... I don't know. I don't know. Marcel Reed....
- 17:08Speaker 1: He threw 12 interceptions last year. A & M rebuilt
- 17:12Speaker 1: their offensive line through the portal. They lost four starters.
- 17:19Speaker 1: When the model and the money and the market all
- 17:21Speaker 1: point the same way, I would lean the under 50.5
- 17:26Speaker 1: because I don't trust Marcel Reed in that offense to
- 17:28Speaker 1: be able to get anything going, even against Arkansas. I
- 17:33Speaker 1: really don't expect Arkansas to be able to get anything going.
- 17:35Speaker 1: That place looks like a dumpster fire right now.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Good gracious.
- 17:41Speaker 1: So that one's 6 p.m. Central time. God's time zone
- 17:43Speaker 1: on ESPN2. Utah State and Boise State. 6.30 p.m. Central
- 17:48Speaker 1: on CBS Sports Network. This one on the blue turf.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Boise minus 20.5. It hadn't moved.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Total's up 2. 49.5 to 51.5.
- 17:53Speaker 1: 90% of the total money is on the over. And that's,
- 17:55Speaker 1: you know, last year these two played a 25-24 game.
- 17:57Speaker 1: It's 20.5 because Utah State just got destroyed by Utah.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And they were scoring about 10 points a game through
- 18:10Speaker 1: the first three. So it's not like their offense has
- 18:13Speaker 1: gotten anything going.
- 18:16Speaker 2: But people like.
- 18:16Speaker 1: The over for some reason.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I mean, that's just wild.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Absolutely wild. And maybe they're expecting Boise to be able
- 18:26Speaker 1: to run it up. You know, I can't trust Utah
- 18:32Speaker 1: State to score, so why would I bet them even
- 18:35Speaker 1: at plus 20 and a half? Like, that's the crazy thing.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Temple and USF, USF minus 6.5 now. God, I mean,
- 18:41Speaker 1: that thing was at 4.5 or 4, moved up to 6.5.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Total dropped four points, 52.5 to 48.5 from what I
- 18:45Speaker 1: can tell. 64% of the bets are on USF, but
- 18:47Speaker 1: only 19% of the money. Some of my money's on
- 18:48Speaker 1: that USF.
- 18:49Speaker 2: That's just a guess.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Temple Plus 6.5 has 81% of the handle on about
- 19:14Speaker 1: a third of the tickets. I mean, that's pretty wild.
- 19:20Speaker 1: When the money is that far from the tickets, like,
- 19:23Speaker 1: I get very squeamish. I get curious.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Indiana at Rutgers.
- 19:29Speaker 1: 7 p.m. Central, Big Ten Network. You know, finally, Indiana
- 19:35Speaker 1: goes on the road. I mean, it's October now, so
- 19:38Speaker 1: finally they're not playing a game in Bloomington.
- 19:41Speaker 2: But it's Rutgers.
- 19:43Speaker 1: So just kind of wild. Indiana opened minus 23.5.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Totals up three. 53.5 to 56.5.
- 19:47Speaker 1: And it's one of the only one of these games
- 19:51Speaker 1: I'm talking about that's actually going up. 68% of the
- 19:53Speaker 1: spread money is on Indiana. And on the money line,
- 19:56Speaker 1: Rutgers plus 1,200 has half of the money on 8%
- 19:57Speaker 1: of the bets. Feels like somebody's buying lottery tickets out there.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Although I will say that Indiana has not exactly looked good. So,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you know, the Rutgers, I mean, like Rutgers got destroyed
- 20:23Speaker 1: by UMass.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Just destroyed.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I do not anticipate Rutgers winning this ballgame. I think
- 20:30Speaker 1: this is more of a spread problem, not a result problem.
- 20:32Speaker 1: I think Indiana wins. The question is whether you're going
- 20:35Speaker 1: to lay 24 and a half, like in your first
- 20:37Speaker 1: road trip of the season. So I'm going to pass
- 20:40Speaker 1: on the side on this one. But this is, you know,
- 20:45Speaker 1: another interesting data point before Indiana plays, you know, a
- 20:48Speaker 1: real team. That's not to say Northwestern wasn't. I think
- 20:51Speaker 1: Northwestern is actually pretty good. But the way that that
- 20:55Speaker 1: schedule shaped up, I mean, it set them up perfectly
- 20:57Speaker 1: to get back to October. Fresno State and Washington State,
- 21:04Speaker 1: interesting one, 8.30 p.m. Central Time on USA Network. Wazoo
- 21:07Speaker 1: minus 1.5, it's the closest line that I'm talking about today.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Washington State is 1-3, but it makes sense if you
- 21:14Speaker 1: look at the schedule. On the spread, Fresno plus 1.5
- 21:18Speaker 1: has all the money, 100%, like on two-thirds of the bets. So,
- 21:22Speaker 1: on the money line, Washington State has 70% of the
- 21:24Speaker 1: money on 25% of the bets. So, you've got money
- 21:28Speaker 1: on both teams, depending on which market you look at. Like,
- 21:32Speaker 1: this is a Late game, West Coast coin flip.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Like, I'm going to watch it. I'm not going to
- 21:37Speaker 2: bet it.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Because I don't know if I can trust this Fresno
- 21:40Speaker 1: State offense. Like, I just, we'll see. And Washington State,
- 21:45Speaker 1: you know, you've only seen them play against really good
- 21:47Speaker 1: teams or better teams. So I'm not sure what to
- 21:50Speaker 1: do with that. Let's rapid fire some of these from,
- 21:55Speaker 1: you know, open to now. Memphis at Charlotte, who is
- 21:59Speaker 1: over right now, 21.5 down to 20.5.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Which makes sense.
- 22:02Speaker 1: My model's got it like 18.5 to 19, somewhere around there.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Toledo at Ball State, 17.5 up to 20.5. Western Michigan
- 22:12Speaker 1: at Buffalo, 16.5 down to 14. All the spread money's
- 22:17Speaker 1: on Buffalo. Buffalo is awful. I'm curious about that one.
- 22:22Speaker 1: New Mexico over UTEP, 21 up to 22.5. North Dakota
- 22:26Speaker 1: State over Wyoming, that one went from 21 down to 17.5.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Georgia State over Old Dominion. We talked about this one.
- 22:34Speaker 1: That was a favorite flip. Georgia Southern at Coastal flipped
- 22:38Speaker 1: to minus 1.5. South Alabama over winless Louisiana Monroe, ULM.
- 22:43Speaker 1: That's 14. Louisiana over Arkansas State. That's 4, up to 6.5.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Texas State and San Diego State, 4.5, up to 7.5.
- 22:53Speaker 1: That one's interesting. I got that thing at 4.5. Bet
- 22:59Speaker 1: it in favor of Texas State. And my reasoning there
- 23:03Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the fact that... So first off,
- 23:06Speaker 1: San Diego State looks like they're going to be down
- 23:07Speaker 1: to their third string running back. I don't trust Denigal
- 23:11Speaker 1: to be able to throw the football at all, even
- 23:14Speaker 1: on this Texas State defense. Texas State's offense has been
- 23:17Speaker 1: absolutely freaking rolling lately. So that is something to pay
- 23:22Speaker 1: attention to. And then, of course, the big news that
- 23:27Speaker 1: came out yesterday... San Diego State has 14 players that
- 23:33Speaker 1: have the mumps. They have not announced which 14 players
- 23:37Speaker 1: it is. I suppose we will see on Saturday. Head
- 23:43Speaker 1: coach Sean Davis said that, yeah, they can't talk about
- 23:48Speaker 1: it because it's a HIPAA and a FERPA violation, but
- 23:53Speaker 1: at some point we've got to know who's playing the
- 23:54Speaker 1: game and who's not. Or if we're still playing the game,
- 23:58Speaker 1: depending on how many people have actually caught it. Like,
- 24:01Speaker 1: I don't even know that Texas State would want to
- 24:02Speaker 1: play it. But, I mean, what happened to the MMR vaccine? Yeah,
- 24:09Speaker 1: we're not going to get into that.
- 24:10Speaker 2: We're not doing that. All right.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Army and Louisiana Tech, 3.5 down to 1.5. Hawaii, San
- 24:15Speaker 1: Jose State, 5.5 down to 3. UMass in eastern Michigan. 2.5
- 24:24Speaker 1: up to 6. I think people are finally catching on
- 24:26Speaker 1: that UMass is actually a pretty good football team this year.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Ohio at Kent State.
- 24:31Speaker 2: That was 5.5.
- 24:31Speaker 1: It's down to 3.5. A lot of people thinking that
- 24:34Speaker 1: Kent State is going to be pretty good. I mean,
- 24:36Speaker 1: that quarterback's awesome. DeShields, I believe, is the name of
- 24:39Speaker 1: the guy. Didn't do anything against their non-conference late. But
- 24:45Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of these smaller G6 teams that... understand, okay,
- 24:51Speaker 1: we're not going to make the playoff because we've got
- 24:52Speaker 1: to play Georgia and we've got to play whoever.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Penn State. Whatever it is.
- 24:57Speaker 1: But we can rest up and we can still win
- 25:01Speaker 1: our conference and that matters. I wonder if that's the
- 25:05Speaker 1: thinking with some of these. Miami of Ohio is down
- 25:08Speaker 1: a quarterback so they're down to 13.5 as a favorite
- 25:13Speaker 1: over a winless Bowling Green.
- 25:15Speaker 2: That total went way down.
- 25:17Speaker 1: 15.5 down to 43.5. The to Kansas over middle Tennessee,
- 25:23Speaker 1: 21 and a half down to 19 and a half.
- 25:24Speaker 1: And that tracks because like my model has middle Tennessee
- 25:28Speaker 1: covering that game.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Very interesting. Um, let's do, let's do a plug real quick.

- 26:30Speaker 1: I totally do. All right, let's hit the trend buffet.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Let's do this thing. This is the big one, right?
- 26:39Speaker 1: Public bets overs, money bets unders.
- 26:41Speaker 2: That's the trend.
- 26:43Speaker 1: On the undercard, we've already talked about Boston College SMU.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee, Kansas is the same thing. Wyoming, North Dakota State,
- 26:49Speaker 1: 100% of the money on 33% of the bets. Arkansas
- 26:54Speaker 1: A & M, 100% of the money on the under
- 26:56Speaker 1: on 50% of the bets. Navy Air Force, 100% on 58%.
- 26:59Speaker 1: And the total is more degrees. Eight of 11 big
- 27:04Speaker 1: total moves went down this time.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Second trend.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Spread games where tickets are on the favorite and the
- 27:11Speaker 1: money is on the dog. We got a lot of those.
- 27:14Speaker 1: BC plus 21%. Temple plus 6.5. Navy plus 3.5. Buffalo
- 27:18Speaker 1: plus 14. Fresno plus 1.5. That's five of them. Third,
- 27:23Speaker 1: we've got our steam list. James Madison, six points. Georgia State,
- 27:27Speaker 1: a four-point flip. UMass, three and a half. Toledo, three points.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Texas State, four points.
- 27:33Speaker 2: No, three points. Three points, sorry.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Georgia Southern, that one flipped. Like, the ones that are
- 27:40Speaker 1: moving toward the dog, Wyoming, Buffalo, and San Jose State. Um....
- 27:47Speaker 2: Let's look at some of these lottery tickets. And this
- 27:51Speaker 2: is just a fun one to kind of close this out, right?
- 27:53Speaker 1: The big money, money line dogs. Charlotte plus 850 with
- 27:56Speaker 1: a 97% of the money line money. Middle Tennessee plus 800,
- 27:59Speaker 1: 94% of the money. UTEP plus 1100, 83%.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Rutgers plus 1200, half of the money on 8% of
- 28:02Speaker 2: the bets.
- 28:16Speaker 1: On a dog that big, I guess one guy with
- 28:20Speaker 1: a strong opinion and paycheck can swing those numbers. So
- 28:23Speaker 1: I feel like that's entertainment, not a signal. Whoever it is,
- 28:27Speaker 1: I'm rooting for them. I know that much. I know
- 28:32Speaker 1: that much. All right, let's do our watch guide right quick. Friday,
- 28:38Speaker 1: 6 p.m. Central, Liberty and Delaware on CBS Sports Network.
- 28:42Speaker 1: That's right alongside Pitt at Virginia Tech. 8 o'clock, Northwestern
- 28:46Speaker 1: and Penn State on Fox. It's the opening of the
- 28:50Speaker 1: new Ryan Field in Evanston. So go ahead and check
- 28:53Speaker 1: that out. Saturday, noon window, Navy at Air Force on CBS.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Also at noon, you've got Boston College at SMU on

- 29:14Speaker 1: This is intriguing. The 330 window has got some interesting stuff.
- 29:23Speaker 1: That 11 a.m. slide is going to be just completely
- 29:25Speaker 1: hammered by Alabama and Mississippi State. Ohio State, Iowa is
- 29:34Speaker 1: going to be awesome. Miami-Clemson, Like, that's where we're at.
- 29:40Speaker 1: I can't do this watch guide right now. It's going
- 29:47Speaker 1: to be a weird week. This is a fun week.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Next week is going to be absolutely friggin' loaded. Absolutely loaded. Alright.
