Transcript
- 0:03Good morning everybody, it is Saturday week 6 rolls on.
- 0:08We're excited to be here. Are you caffeinated?
- 0:10Because we sure are. So let's get to it guys.
- 0:15Last night was a fun filled Friday night in college
- 0:18football. What did you guys watch?
- 0:21What did you guys observe? Any thoughts, comments,
- 0:24complaints, 'cause you know, I got at least one complaint.
- 0:28So, Tim, good morning, all right?
- 0:32And the floor is yours buddy, go for it.
- 0:34I guess Mormons don't care if they cover the spread or not.
- 0:36So. And I say, oh, well, BYU, they
- 0:41got, they commit less turnovers. They commit less penalties.
- 0:45Someone forgot to tell them that, too.
- 0:47I guess last night they had more penalties, more turnovers, and
- 0:49they can't cover. And they still, you know, won by
- 0:53a couple of scores, but they could not cover.
- 0:55So yeah, such is my life. Backdoor covers suck so.
- 1:00You're usually good for a couple of years, so get you, get the
- 1:02one out of the way, you know? You're just This is my second
- 1:06one, so all. Right.
- 1:07So then you're done. You're done.
- 1:08All your no more backdoor covers for you.
- 1:10You've used your maximum allowable per.
- 1:12Season, My goodness. Oh, and two for backdoor covers.
- 1:15Nice. Pete, good morning out there in
- 1:18Michigan. How are you and and did you
- 1:21notice anything or would like to complain about anything from
- 1:23Friday night? I'd like to complain about the
- 1:25fact that I can't find a win to save my life here.
- 1:27That's what I'd like to complain about 'cause that I did not
- 1:29expect scoring of, of, of that magnitude by both teams last
- 1:33night. So clearly my math is all for
- 1:35something here. So I am hoping to resurrect
- 1:37myself today and and kind of redeem, redeem myself.
- 1:41But yeah, that was, I just did not expect that.
- 1:44I mean, you know, the first stuff looked OK, West Virginia
- 1:46wasn't doing much, but, you know, it it, it kind of turned
- 1:49on me. And once that started and the
- 1:51turnovers and all of that, we're not helping us.
- 1:53We're not helping my case at all.
- 1:54So it was just one of those games that went the wrong
- 1:57direction on me. So, yeah, I mean, I, it was, it
- 2:00was interesting to watch West Virginia.
- 2:01I mean, we mentioned earlier when we were talking before this
- 2:04way their 11th quarterback or whatever, you know, I mean, and
- 2:07we're going to see them in what, 2 weeks.
- 2:08So it would be interesting to see them live.
- 2:10So I'm looking forward to, to seeing them play.
- 2:12But anyway, I need to find some wins today.
- 2:14That's when my thing says I need some wins.
- 2:16Yeah, well, I have a worst record than both of you guys so,
- 2:18so I don't feel too bad. But West Virginia's quarterback,
- 2:23I hope that dude's got like some good health insurance because I
- 2:25don't know how many QB draws they ran or whether he just
- 2:28wasn't looking to pass the ball, but that poor guy's gonna get
- 2:33killed unless Rich Rod comes up with something a little
- 2:36different offensively. MY1 gripe I noticed a lot.
- 2:41You know, Tim, you and I used to start complaining about the, you
- 2:43know, the jet sweep at the 1 yard line and, and our favorite
- 2:47play to complain about is fourth and one and you line up in the
- 2:50shotgun. Has anybody in five weeks of
- 2:52college football seen one successful wide receiver screen?
- 2:56Do they not teach wide receiver blocking at all?
- 2:59Because I saw Western Kentucky do three of them yesterday and
- 3:02they got a combined 0 yards on all three.
- 3:04I I think that might be my new least favorite play in football
- 3:08'cause I have yet to see one work, so I I don't know.
- 3:12One more little gripe. I hope it's for nicknames, but
- 3:16BYU quarterback. His name is Bear.
- 3:17He has a brother named Tiger if I heard that correctly.
- 3:21That's another gripe just for that.
- 3:23Well, let's move on. That's legit.
- 3:26Aren't they, aren't they all related to like that guy Hank,
- 3:28which I last I checked is not the name of an animal, but maybe
- 3:32he's got a nickname like Sloth. I I don't believe he can run
- 3:35that much. I don't know.
- 3:36I don't know, but yeah, anyway, it's terrible.
- 3:39Bear Tiger. No, no.
- 3:40But anyway, ah, Drew is in. Drew, Congrats on your Notre
- 3:45Dame -4 1/2 last week, probably the easiest game any of us will
- 3:50have this year. So that was awesome.
- 3:52Go Irish. Yeah, other than the whole wide
- 3:55receiver screen thing. You know, at least I I already
- 4:00have surpassed my win total from last week.
- 4:03Thank you, San Diego State for actually displaying offense.
- 4:07Didn't expect that, but yeah, good times. 2 unit play hits and
- 4:12probably lose everything today. But anyway, all right, man, it's
- 4:16Saturday. Conference play is pretty much
- 4:18in full swing. We don't have the marquee
- 4:20matchups that we had last week, but we still got some good ones.
- 4:23So let's go to our Big 10 dude and and the Big Blue dude.
- 4:28So Pete, start us off Wisconsin at Michigan.
- 4:31What are we looking at here? Thank you Sir.
- 4:33I hesitate to make a play at this point, but anyway, so over
- 4:36under this game is 43 1/2. You know, Michigan has not been
- 4:41lighting the scoreboard up a whole lot.
- 4:43That's I mean, clearly with a with a young quarterback, they
- 4:45are leading into what they were going to do anyway, which is run
- 4:47the ball and play defense. That's what they do playing
- 4:50against Wisconsin, who kind of does the same thing.
- 4:53It's it's screaming under to me. That said, I don't trust myself
- 4:58at this point, but it's screaming under to me, even
- 5:01though the number's relatively low.
- 5:02But it kind of I, you know, see something like AI don't know, 27
- 5:06to 10 or something. Would not be surprising to me in
- 5:08this game. You know, I expect that Michigan
- 5:10will they better get up in this game.
- 5:12And if they're going to do that, which I expect they will do,
- 5:15they're going to slow it down. They're going to run the ball.
- 5:17And of course that defense is going to do what it does.
- 5:19So, you know, I wouldn't expect a a, a, a really high scoring
- 5:23output from either team, to be honest with you.
- 5:25I don't think Michigan's actually capable of scoring at a
- 5:28very high level at the moment. But so, yeah, something like 20
- 5:31to 7 to 10 or something like that would not be shocking to
- 5:33me. So I do like the under here at
- 5:3543 1/2. Tim, thoughts on that one?
- 5:40Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, I don't know how Wisconsin
- 5:44puts up more than Tyler P You're being generous giving Wisconsin
- 5:4710 this. You know, I hate to say it and
- 5:51and I don't think we like to see people lose their lose their
- 5:54jobs or anything, but there could be a handful of coaches
- 5:59updating their resumes tomorrow morning.
- 6:01Luke Fickle could very well be one of them.
- 6:03We're on what, Year 3? And he has done nothing but run
- 6:07this program into the ground. Actually, he hasn't run at all,
- 6:10which is the problem. He's passed his program into the
- 6:12ground, but he's he's. He's not the right fit there.
- 6:14I mean, he didn't fit his style, didn't fit in the beat in the
- 6:171st place. I know they were probably trying
- 6:18to change it up and do something different.
- 6:20It's it's not working. It's it's like when Michigan
- 6:22brought Rich Rod in back in the day.
- 6:24It was just a totally different style.
- 6:25Doesn't match the identity or culture of the organization or
- 6:28the school. So I yeah, I would not be
- 6:30surprised if they're looking for a new head coach after this
- 6:34year. All right, graphics guru.
- 6:38What? What's next?
- 6:44That's me. All right, University of
- 6:46Kentucky, add the Georgia Bulldogs.
- 6:50This, this is one of mine here. This is mostly a fade on what
- 6:55Kentucky is doing, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
- 6:59They've had Zach Calzetta. And who's this other guy?
- 7:02Cutter Bully. Neither one has has been pretty
- 7:05successful. Like QB, their wide receivers
- 7:07are really, really lacking in skill and experience.
- 7:10So this team has got no pass game to speak of.
- 7:13They can run with a little bit of success, but as much as we
- 7:17bash the Georgia defense for they can't get any pressure as
- 7:20it's not the defense of the 2022-2023 team.
- 7:23They're really good at stopping the run so that so Kentucky
- 7:25shouldn't be able to pass or run in this game.
- 7:29And with Georgia laying 20 1/2, this this could be a game a get
- 7:34right spot for Georgia here. I do worry that there may be a
- 7:37little bit of let down after that loss to Bama, but the other
- 7:41side of that is, well, they've got a loss.
- 7:44They're going to need to to beat up some teams that that they
- 7:46have the ability to beat on. This should be one of those
- 7:50games here. So I'm looking for something
- 7:53maybe like 38 to 7, something like that.
- 7:56This, this should be a get right spot for Georgia.
- 7:58Now Gunner Stockton hasn't thrown any picks yet this year.
- 8:03I think they are going to get some pressure here.
- 8:05So I took the 20 1/2. This has been a 20 1/2 most of
- 8:08the week. I don't know what it is now as
- 8:10we're just under 3 hours from kickoff, but as long as it stays
- 8:1420 1/2 here, I'm rolling with this.
- 8:17I'm I'm going another 2 units here on Georgia minus the 20
- 8:201/2. Double unit.
- 8:23Well, we're on such a roll with the double unit from San Diego
- 8:26State. I mean, I might as well blow it
- 8:28all in one game and get back to what I'm used to doing.
- 8:30So yeah, let's go for. It Yeah, Drew was on San Diego
- 8:33State, too. Oh, thank you, Drew for the
- 8:36faith after my O and three last week for getting back on board
- 8:39with me, man. But yeah, that was that was a
- 8:41nice catch. That was that was almost as easy
- 8:45a cover as what you had with Notre Dame last game.
- 8:49So yeah, let's go Georgia. Screw Kentucky.
- 8:54They're terrible. Any thoughts on that game guys?
- 8:56Love the bet. And I mean, I think I don't see
- 8:59how Georgia doesn't absolutely # them here.
- 9:00I mean, I, I cannot imagine anything other than that.
- 9:03I was looking at over unders 48 1/2.
- 9:04I was considering the under just because I don't think Kentucky's
- 9:06going to do much of anything here.
- 9:08But then again, every time I say that now, the team that I say is
- 9:11going to do nothing scores 3 touchdowns plus.
- 9:13So I stay back away from it here because it's just, you know,
- 9:16somehow I will will Kentucky to win by betting the under here.
- 9:20But yeah, I mean, if Georgia doesn't # them there's a
- 9:23problem, right? I mean, they need to get right
- 9:25in this game. They need to pound them.
- 9:26They should pound them. And so, yeah, I could see them
- 9:29winning by easy, easy 30 points here.
- 9:31That would not be surprising at all.
- 9:34Tim, I know you love you some Georgia Bulldogs.
- 9:36Any thoughts? I mean, I kind of, I was pretty
- 9:41much mirroring with what Peter just said here.
- 9:43Well, I don't think Kentucky's going to do much of anything
- 9:45either. But that being said, the way
- 9:46Iowa's been going, when we didn't think they're going to
- 9:49score and they shouldn't, they shouldn't do Greatest Show on
- 9:52Turf. But yeah, I'm, I'm in the same
- 9:54boat with Pete. I was thinking.
- 9:55About Stockton will throw his first pick like 3 minutes into
- 9:58the game and Kentucky will get. Upset with nothing after.
- 10:01Oh, OK, that's right. I forgot.
- 10:02It's 2 units, it's probably 4 picks.
- 10:04So yeah, what? Happened.
- 10:05Maybe we should take, maybe we should take Kentucky in the
- 10:07points right now, then I don't know.
- 10:08Not a bad idea. I don't usually get more than A1
- 10:12game-winning streak so yeah I would.
- 10:13I would fade that I guess. Air Force and Navy, I think this
- 10:19is one of yours too, Darren. Or is this here?
- 10:23This one is 1 of mine. So surface Academy game under
- 10:26over under is 52 1/2. You know, Air Force can score
- 10:31and then they've shown it. Then again, I, I did, I did like
- 10:33watch, enjoy watching Hawaii beat them last week.
- 10:36So that was kind of fun. But you know, 52 1/2 is a, is A
- 10:39to me, at least historically is a pretty high number for a
- 10:42service Academy. Yes, these have these games have
- 10:44evolved a little bit, but still right.
- 10:47These teams when they play each other, tend to trench down, beat
- 10:51the crap out of each other. It's a very physical type of
- 10:53game that I don't expect to be much different this time.
- 10:57And I think the passing rate will, you know, stay in the
- 10:59lower side. I think they're going to run the
- 11:00ball at each other quite a bit. And I, I do, you know, I, I
- 11:03really think if you think about how this script is going to play
- 11:06out, you'll end up with something like a 2420 kind of
- 11:09game with it's kind of what I'm thinking, maybe 2717, something
- 11:12like that. So I think there's a pretty big
- 11:14cushion here on this, on this under.
- 11:16I actually feel very confident about this one.
- 11:18I almost did 2 units on it but I am taking the under on 5052 1/2.
- 11:24Any thoughts Tan I I haven't seen much of either team yet so
- 11:27far this year. Well, if thankfully you have,
- 11:31that means you haven't had to watch Air Force.
- 11:32So that's always kind of gouging your eyeballs out of your head.
- 11:37But yeah, like Pete said, you you get a service Academy, like,
- 11:41yeah, you just go under and you and you don't even think about
- 11:43it. But yeah, these these teams are
- 11:45not really changing what they're doing.
- 11:47Air Force is trying to air it out a little more, but that's
- 11:49usually because they're giving up 40 plus points a game and
- 11:52they don't have a choice. I mean, literally like 113 play,
- 11:5711 minute drive is probably going to get this to the under.
- 12:02And these two teams are more capable of doing that than most
- 12:05teams in the FBS. So yeah, I, I, I never thought
- 12:09I'd see a day where a service Academy total.
- 12:11Would be in the 50s. Exactly.
- 12:15That's a gift. I, I, you know that Jerry
- 12:18Maguire, you had me at hello when Pete was like under.
- 12:20Yeah, you had me at under. I mean it just.
- 12:23Don't worry now that we said this, they'll they'll come,
- 12:24they'll score combined 65 points today.
- 12:26I mean, that's. 4945, yeah. Something ridiculous.
- 12:35Yeah. At that point I quit.
- 12:36So we're good. Right there.
- 12:40We go Tim, you and I both have this game but I'm gonna let you
- 12:42have the floor because my dumb ass bet like 5 games this week.
- 12:47Right. Well, this is another one of
- 12:49those where the the Florida State game with, with Alabama
- 12:52seems like it was like 5 years ago.
- 12:56They seem to have recovered big game last week.
- 12:59They still they don't turn the ball over, they don't commit a
- 13:01lot of penalties. And you add that to with
- 13:04Vanderbilt beating them last year, you just have to think all
- 13:09the Alabama players are like, we're going to beat these nerds
- 13:11into the ground. And I'm expecting, yeah, I know
- 13:14Vanderbilt's undefeated and all that.
- 13:16So, but I, I think Alabama big here.
- 13:21I'm thinking probably by at least 24.
- 13:25I'm, I'm thinking big. They're just going to like
- 13:26destroy them just to make up for last year.
- 13:30So that's basically what I'm going on.
- 13:32And with the fact that Vanderbilt does commit a lot
- 13:34more penalties in Alabama as well, So and the turnover ratio
- 13:39ratio does favor Bama a little bit.
- 13:41They're both on the positive side of it.
- 13:43But so I guess Bama forces more. But yeah, everything to me is
- 13:49looking for Alabama in a romp. I I agree with you, I threw a
- 13:57unit on Bama at 10 1/2 as well. And for all you DraftKings
- 14:01users, just a heads up, they are offering a 33% profit boost on
- 14:06either this game or the Miami, FL state game.
- 14:10So if you have DraftKings in your state and are interested in
- 14:13betting either of those two games, hop in, get that, get
- 14:16that profit boost 'cause you know, we, we never turned down
- 14:19the chance for free money. But yeah, the only thing I'll
- 14:23add to everything that Tim said was my my only concern with Bama
- 14:26is that they haven't shown that they can stop the run.
- 14:28And Vanderbilt and Diego, they got no problem running and they
- 14:34do it successfully. So hopefully Alabama has come up
- 14:36with something to at least minimize the damage that
- 14:39Vanderbilt is going to try and do on the ground.
- 14:41On the flip side, and I get Vanderbilt is the talk of the
- 14:45college football world and they're talking a lot of smack
- 14:48and they think they're going to go in there and blow out the
- 14:50tide. That's all well and good, but
- 14:53strength of schedule ratings, you know, Bam has played the 5th
- 14:56of his schedule so far. Vanderbilt is 107th.
- 14:59Don't don't tell me their win over South Carolina was
- 15:01impressive. South Carolina is down this
- 15:03year. They also beat Virginia Tech,
- 15:05but we know they're a train wreck.
- 15:07They've already they were the first coach to get fired this
- 15:09year. I don't think they've seen
- 15:11anything like what Alabama is going to show them offensively.
- 15:15You know, we talked about Stockton for Georgia not having
- 15:18any picks. Well, neither does Ty Simpson.
- 15:20I, I don't think he ends up with any picks after this game as
- 15:24well. Tim, I agree with you.
- 15:26I think I mean, and if and if you're a revenge spot believer,
- 15:31obviously that would, would, would lead you to bet Bama here.
- 15:33But I think this is going to be a game along with another game
- 15:37I've got later on where, where the underdog might get, might
- 15:41get a little bit of a reality check today here.
- 15:43So I agree with you, Tim, I did 1 unit using the DraftKings
- 15:47profit boost on Alabama -10 1/2. Pete, any thoughts on this?
- 15:54Yeah, I mean, logic, logic would suggest that Bama should
- 15:57firebomb them, right? That that's what you would and
- 15:59the whole revenge factor and all of that.
- 16:01So that would not be surprising. I to me, if that's true.
- 16:04And if we think that's going to happen, that line is really
- 16:06short. Like I would lay that all day
- 16:08long because that's a really short line.
- 16:10Now the over under is 55 1/2. I kicked this sucker around.
- 16:13It was just, I don't know what the Vanderbilt's going to do,
- 16:16right? I mean, I think Alabama will
- 16:18probably score 40 points by themselves or something like
- 16:21that. So the question was, you know,
- 16:23'cause I was thinking over Will Vanderpool, they'll score at all
- 16:26or are they gonna score enough to get over that line?
- 16:28I thought maybe, you know, I would be surprised if Vanderbilt
- 16:32keeps it close. But hey, if we're at halftime
- 16:34and it's a close game, it could get really interesting in the
- 16:36second-half. So it could be a lot of fun to
- 16:38watch. If it's close, 'cause I think it
- 16:39could get a little nasty on the field.
- 16:41It could be interesting. So we'll see how this thing
- 16:43plays itself out. But I I love the bat.
- 16:45I think that's a short line. And if what happens, if what you
- 16:48think is going to happen actually happens, then yeah,
- 16:50it's a, it's a great, it's a great play.
- 16:51So I love it. Yeah, it opened like 13 1/2,
- 16:54fourteen and then got bet all the way down to like 10 1/2.
- 16:58Went back, yeah, 11 1/2 and now back.
- 17:01I think it's 11 1/2 now, but like Tim and I jumped on it at
- 17:0310 1/2. The other thing, what was what
- 17:05was the? What was the total you had?
- 17:0755 1/2 is what I saw. OK, the other thing to think
- 17:10about is, you know, we all remember Bam was like a 24 point
- 17:13favorite when they rolled into Vandy and got beat.
- 17:17Can you see Bama running up the score if they have the chance
- 17:20to? Yeah, as much Vanderbilt is
- 17:23talking. That's why I was leaning toward
- 17:25the over on that right just alone if they get up and if they
- 17:27dominate this game like they can, they are.
- 17:29Why would they? Why would they stop?
- 17:31They were not going to throttle back at all, so yeah.
- 17:33I think their team total, I, I, I don't call.
- 17:35I thought I saw it in the week like Alabama's team total 33
- 17:381/2. I would go over that, yeah.
- 17:41Oh, yeah, I'll go. That.
- 17:41I love that. Yeah.
- 17:43Well, the game last year wasn't the game last year like 3835 or
- 17:46something. Like that 4035, Yeah, it was
- 17:49crazy something. Like that?
- 17:51Yeah, and Vanderbilt's better so but and you know, but I guess,
- 17:54you know, we also Vanderbilt's probably gonna try and run the
- 17:56ball to keep Bama's offense off the field.
- 17:58Maybe that slows it down. But if this game goes like the
- 18:01spread is telling you it should go, why would Bama just run out
- 18:05the clock against these guys? I mean this this seems to be
- 18:07like a full blown rivalry now. So Bama team total over, game
- 18:12over, Alabama covering all sounds good in theory I guess.
- 18:17Right. This is mine.
- 18:20OK? I hate both these teams with a
- 18:22passion. But this line the other day got
- 18:27all the way down to Texas 4 1/2, and I'm like, you know what?
- 18:30That's too low. So I'm throwing a unit on Texas
- 18:34here. Do I like Arch Manning?
- 18:36Not at the moment, but do I like the fact that Trey Weisner is
- 18:42coming back and Emmett Mosley is set to make his his debut at
- 18:47wide receiver for Texas? I do like that a lot.
- 18:51I know weather is supposed to be a factor here.
- 18:55And you know, everybody complained about how Arch
- 18:57Manning played in that week one game against Ohio State.
- 19:00But, you know, we're big fans of Box 4 breakdowns here.
- 19:03If you take a look at that game. I mean, they had, I wrote it
- 19:07down, they had 130 more yards than Ohio State did.
- 19:11Ohio State only got 11 first downs on this team.
- 19:17They also rushed for 166 yards. And Ohio State only had 34
- 19:20carries for 77 yards. So the the focus was on how bad
- 19:24Arch Manning looked, but the box score shows that pretty much
- 19:27everybody else on Texas did their job and that was Ohio
- 19:30State and arguably one of the best defenses in the country and
- 19:33that they were moving the ball. They just couldn't get, you
- 19:35know, they just couldn't get the scores turnovers at bad times.
- 19:38I believe you had a pick in there somewhere.
- 19:41But if you look at Florida, and maybe this is me betting with my
- 19:47cold black heart, but I took them in the seven and a half two
- 19:51weeks ago when they were playing Miami.
- 19:53I have never seen a team look so bad offensively than what I saw
- 19:58from Florida. They got dominated on both lines
- 20:00of scrimmage and they were already banged up on defense
- 20:03going into that game and they ended up getting a couple more
- 20:06players hurt. Aaron Gates, one of their
- 20:10secondary guys, is now out for the season.
- 20:13The big one, Dejon Johnson, he got hurt.
- 20:15He's out for the season. So there's two guys in the
- 20:17secondary that start that are gone.
- 20:20Maybe Arch Manning can take advantage of that with Mosey's
- 20:22return. Who knows?
- 20:23A defensive line. Caleb Banks got hurt, he's out.
- 20:27Their linebacker, LJ McCray is out.
- 20:29And yeah, this defense is good. But at some point, these
- 20:31injuries are going to have to start to catch up with Florida
- 20:35offensively. They look ass and if we're
- 20:38giving out a bronze ass cheek award for today, I guess give it
- 20:41to the Florida offense. Billy Napier's press conference,
- 20:44he says I am still calling the plays.
- 20:46Well, you can guess how that went over on Florida Twitter.
- 20:50They are ready to just guys. I do I, I read it for like 5
- 20:53minutes. I'm like, did this, this is not
- 20:56OK. I I, I'm kind of worried for
- 20:57Napier as he's walking into the stadium today.
- 21:00But yeah, this spread got down to 4 1/2.
- 21:02I was willing to play it at 6 1/2 where it opened, but then I
- 21:05saw it start to drop. I'm like, I'm going to wait.
- 21:07I'm going to wait. FanDuel had four and a half the
- 21:10other day. Other books had five and a half.
- 21:12Mike, screw it. I'll lay the little bit of extra
- 21:14juice here. I'll lay the four and a half.
- 21:16I, you know, we, we know there's always a time when Florida seems
- 21:20to suck it up and play great for Napier.
- 21:22They did it last year. I thought it was going to be two
- 21:24weeks ago against Miami. Horrible call on my part.
- 21:28I don't think this is going to be the game.
- 21:29I mean, you struggled against LSU in Miami.
- 21:32Well, guess who statistically got a better defense than those
- 21:34two teams? Yeah, that burnt orange team
- 21:37right there. So, yeah, give me Texas.
- 21:41Lay the four and a half. I think it's 5 1/2 this morning.
- 21:43I would still go up to 6 1/2. I'm not saying arch breaks out
- 21:47here, but he certainly could with the injuries that that
- 21:51Florida got in the secondary. So give me a unit on Texas.
- 21:55Tim's there anyway. Well, I mean, do you think if
- 22:00they win, if Florida wins this game and maybe wins a couple
- 22:04more down the road, do you think Billy Napier keeps his job?
- 22:07Sure, I hope so. So let's.
- 22:09Because who are you? Who are you going to get besides
- 22:11him? And I heard a lot of talk about
- 22:13firing James Franklin at Penn State.
- 22:16But the one question everybody brought up was, well, who?
- 22:18If you have somebody lined up, OK, fine, go ahead and get rid
- 22:21of him. But you know who?
- 22:23Who are you going to get? Who are you going to take?
- 22:25I don't know, but this can be funny if like they've come
- 22:28together, they all want to fire them, they win a few games in a
- 22:31row, all let's keep them, let's give them one more year.
- 22:32If they can just keep doing that for like the next 5 or 10 years,
- 22:35that'd be lovely. But I don't know.
- 22:38PV. Any thoughts on the line on this
- 22:39one? No, that's the caveat here.
- 22:41I mean, Texas is a better team. Texas should win this game.
- 22:43I like that line. I like laying those points.
- 22:46I think it's a really good play over under 42 1/2, which I just,
- 22:49I don't like that number at all. I don't know where that's going
- 22:52to go. That's sad, right?
- 22:54You know, this team has come together for this guy before.
- 22:59If it's going to happen, this is it, right?
- 23:01This is it. I mean, this is it's a swan
- 23:03song. If they get if they get killed,
- 23:04which they very well could get blown the hell off the field if
- 23:07that happens. He's definitely done.
- 23:11Yeah. I mean, it'll be the end, right?
- 23:12But so if if this team, these players seem to like the guy a
- 23:16lot, I mean, so if they're going to show up at all, it will be
- 23:20today. So it'll be interesting to see
- 23:22if that happens or not. I don't actually expect that to
- 23:24happen. I think they're done.
- 23:25I think it's 10 years done. I think it's time to change to
- 23:28your point, I don't know where they go next, but that, you
- 23:30know, I think he's got to go. So yeah, I fully expect.
- 23:33And once again, I you can say the same for Texas because Texas
- 23:36hasn't looked great either in a team that everybody was talking
- 23:38about as a potential national championship team, right?
- 23:41Well, they're going to have to put up or shut up here too.
- 23:43I mean, they can't keep trudging through these games.
- 23:45You know, they need to show that they can do it and this is the
- 23:49time to do it right. So it's interesting the
- 23:51storyline and both this is going to be a great game.
- 23:53The storyline I think is interesting on both sides.
- 23:55So coach fighting for his life with a team that might, might
- 23:58try to play for him and a team that I've talked about Texas
- 24:02before after the Ohio State game.
- 24:03This is a team that continuously steps on their own freaking toes
- 24:07over and over and over again. They're in a position to beat
- 24:09good teams and they just can't get over the hump.
- 24:12They can't score in the red zone.
- 24:14They turn the ball over. Just bad things happen.
- 24:17So I would not be surprised or shocked if somehow Florida
- 24:21pulled this off because Texas threw a late pick or did
- 24:24something idiotic. Would not be surprised.
- 24:25But I do like the bags. I think logic speaks to Texas
- 24:30just beating the crap out of them today.
- 24:32That's that's what I think. But anyway.
- 24:36I'm going to move on to 1 of mine.
- 24:37Hey guys, is UCLA any good this year?
- 24:42Yeah, they're great. No, so I guess Penn State ought
- 24:46to be able to beat them 'cause if they were ranked, yeah, Penn
- 24:50State would have a problem. But as usual, I think this is my
- 24:53weekly fate of UCLA for the rest of the year.
- 24:57I think they're getting 25 1/2. You know, James Franklin beats
- 25:02up on the lesser teams, and when he plays a good team, you know,
- 25:05show me. Let's see something.
- 25:07He hasn't won. So anyone with any kind of a
- 25:10ranking. So yeah, I'm expecting just a
- 25:12really big win, even though I'm ignoring the two time zones.
- 25:17UCLA sucks, Penn State does not. Penn State always beats up on a
- 25:21littler teams. So it just looks like they
- 25:24should be able to cover this. 25 1/2.
- 25:27That's basically all the research I did.
- 25:28I'm fading UCLA every week the rest of the year.
- 25:32The floor is yours, boys. Yeah, hard to argue.
- 25:36That, I mean, I, they, they really, I think they're going to
- 25:38absolutely destroyed them and they, and they should, and James
- 25:41Franklin and they get, they, he did his thing.
- 25:43So he, that's fine. That's over.
- 25:45And so now I expect Penn State will be back to what they are,
- 25:48which is really good. So I expect they will play
- 25:51really well. I think they're going to look
- 25:52good for the rest of the year. It'll be interesting if they can
- 25:55get in the playoff and we see what happens, especially if they
- 25:58end up meeting Oregon again 'cause I'd like to see that game
- 26:00again in the playoff. That would be very interesting
- 26:03to see. So I, you know, I mean, nobody
- 26:06beats up James Franklin more than me, but I think his team
- 26:08will play for him today and I think they'll actually kill him.
- 26:10So I love, I love that. Yeah, I mean, Tim, shout out to
- 26:13you, man. Sometimes the simplest handicaps
- 26:16are the best. I, I mean, James Franklin, he
- 26:18always seems to know the point spread and again, that that's
- 26:22why you're not going to fire him because he beats everybody else
- 26:25except that any team ranked in the top five.
- 26:29Yeah, even the the time zone thing doesn't even really worry
- 26:32me here either. UCLA showed a little bit of of
- 26:36something in the second-half last week, but that was
- 26:39Northwestern. Penn State, I'm going to say is
- 26:41a little bit better. Yeah.
- 26:45The Nico thing has not worked out.
- 26:46They fired their offensive coordinator this week.
- 26:48UCLA did. So now we've got 2 new
- 26:50coordinators and a new head coach.
- 26:53No idea what this offense is going to look like, but against
- 26:55the Penn State defense, it probably doesn't matter.
- 26:59And you're at the point in the season now where if you have a
- 27:01loss, you need to show this committee who's gonna come out
- 27:05with their rankings. And whenever the first one is
- 27:08like a month or so from now, you know, you need to to boat race
- 27:11these teams that you're supposed to boat race.
- 27:13So I totally expect Penn State to to roll here.
- 27:19If I didn't have 9 bets already, Tim, I would be piling on to
- 27:22this one, as well as your Alabama bets.
- 27:24This, this could get ugly. OK.
- 27:28Oh boy, here we go. Bye.
- 27:31See you later guys. See you later.
- 27:33Have a good. Day.
- 27:36I'm out of coffee so I'm I can go get another cup you'll.
- 27:38Probably still be waiting. By the time I get back.
- 27:41Go brew a new pot, you got plenty of time.
- 27:43Actually this is another very, very little research on this one
- 27:47as well. I've seen this this meeting
- 27:50about 30 plus Times Now. So look, if Miami wins, they're
- 27:55going to blow our doors off. If Florida State wins is going
- 27:57to be close. I think the first option is more
- 28:01likely. I took Miami, I'd love to lose
- 28:05this bet. I'll be fine with it.
- 28:06But yeah, I think they're I think they can cover that 4 1/2.
- 28:10That's what I got them at. I know everyone says these
- 28:13rivalry games are close, but one defense did not look good
- 28:17against Virginia. Miami's offensive line, they're
- 28:21massive. So God, this is tall order.
- 28:27And yeah, it's going to be a long night.
- 28:29So I have to call a jig bottle of Jim Beam and a shot class
- 28:33ready to go. I'll be fine.
- 28:34I'll be take. The FSU Homer thing off of your
- 28:38screen. You can't bet against your team
- 28:40in a game like this and. Call yourself an FSU if it
- 28:42jinxes of hey whatever, but. Listen, you bet with your head,
- 28:45not with your heart. Credit to Tim.
- 28:47More balls than a ping pong tournament in China.
- 28:50Good job, buddy. I'm just going to say this, this
- 28:55was almost, you know, Tim, I sent you the money line sprinkle
- 28:58for the week and I went a little bit with a bigger underdog.
- 29:01This was the second game that I had here.
- 29:05I think the best thing that and further, it's not that you guys
- 29:07couldn't stop the run. You couldn't tackle anybody.
- 29:09I mean, Virginia players were bouncing off you guys like a
- 29:11pinball machine last year. And I think the best thing that
- 29:14happened to Florida State was losing that Virginia game
- 29:17because now they're desperate. They don't want a second
- 29:19conference loss. You're going to get their best
- 29:22effort tonight. Does it mean they win?
- 29:24I have no frigging idea because if I did, I would bet
- 29:26accordingly. But I think you're going to see
- 29:29the best game Florida State has played since the Alabama win.
- 29:34They, they need it. They're desperate.
- 29:36They, they have the bet. We we know there's a crystal
- 29:38ball moment waiting to happen. Would it surprise you if it's
- 29:41tonight? I I respectfully disagree, but
- 29:47I'll be pulling for your team because I have Louisville
- 29:51winning the ACCI need Miami to get a loss.
- 29:53But yeah, I I think ulterior motives there, But I I honestly
- 29:58do think you're getting Florida State's best effort tonight
- 30:02because they have to. They, they, they, they.
- 30:04We're going. To get that anyway, but I mean
- 30:05it's. Well, not necessarily.
- 30:07I mean, I mean, your defense didn't look like they were
- 30:09really interested in tackling anybody on Virginia.
- 30:11But, you know, can we still trust Cristobal?
- 30:15Can we still trust Carson Beck? I think I can trust that.
- 30:19Florida State's coming out with their best effort tonight.
- 30:21Yep, agree. I agree on a percent.
- 30:23I, I think you're going to see a really good showing out of your
- 30:25team. Whether they win or not, it's
- 30:26hard to tell. But yeah, I think they're going
- 30:29to, they're going to step up and play and that's all you're going
- 30:31to ask, right? At the end of the day, if
- 30:32Miami's better, they're better. I mean, but I'd like to see Beck
- 30:35running for his life the whole game.
- 30:36That'd be fantastic. So I think you might see some of
- 30:38that over under 53 1/2. I thought seriously about the
- 30:42under here because I'm thinking the Florida State's going to
- 30:44play well. This is going to be a physical
- 30:46game and I think that it could lay lay the going under that
- 30:50number I think is very likely if Florida State's going to win
- 30:52this game. Once again, I'm not playing it
- 30:54because I just don't know. But I think it should be a lot
- 30:56of fun to watch and I think it will.
- 30:57I think it will be a close game. I do truly believe that.
- 31:01Right. All right, my last one, here's
- 31:05what I think is not going to be a close game.
- 31:07I, I got on this a few days ago and it was 14 1/2 some place.
- 31:10It's already up to 16 1/2. I'm sorry, Mississippi State,
- 31:13Pete, you already cast your over win total on them.
- 31:15So I know you could care less about the Bulldogs from here on
- 31:17out. They already did what they
- 31:18needed to do. I talked about the Georgia
- 31:21Kentucky game being maybe a reality check for some of these
- 31:24teams. Dude, I, I've got 2 units on
- 31:27Texas A&M rolling tonight. I take it up to 16 1/2.
- 31:31And Tim, this is going to be a Heisman boosting game for you.
- 31:35This is going to be a conference boosting game for you, a win
- 31:38total boost for you as well. You know, we talked about
- 31:41strength of schedule in the Bama Vanderbilt match up.
- 31:44A and Ms. played the 9th toughest schedule, Mississippi
- 31:47State the 89th and I remember they had a, they had a nice last
- 31:50second win against Arizona State in there as well.
- 31:53The offense for Mississippi State has looked good.
- 31:55Blake Shaven's played well, he's healthy.
- 31:57Fluff Bothwell, my favorite name for running back of all time is
- 32:00playing well. They've already picked off 7
- 32:03passes. But again, sometimes we talk
- 32:05about the mindset coming off a game from last week.
- 32:08They should have beaten Tennessee.
- 32:11They should have won that game and then losing it in overtime.
- 32:15Could that be crushing? Yeah, possibly.
- 32:17The other thing I don't like, they're starting right tackle
- 32:19Albert Reese is out, so that's not going to help Blake Chapin
- 32:23too much. And A&M's got 14 sacks on the
- 32:26year in four games. So this is a defense that that's
- 32:28living in the backfield week after week.
- 32:32And Mississippi State has yet to have a buy.
- 32:34This is going to be their 6th game in six weeks.
- 32:38I don't know reality. I think Mississippi State
- 32:40finally remembers. Oh, hey, our win total was only
- 32:423 1/2. They're they got 4.
- 32:44If they end the season with five, that's certainly a
- 32:46possibility. The rest of their schedule's
- 32:48brutal, but I think going to Kyle Field here is going to be
- 32:51going to be too much for them. My 3rd 2 unit play of the week
- 32:55guys what the hell is it? I don't know what's going on,
- 32:57especially with our records. This year, 2 units, especially
- 33:00with mine. Yeah, let's do.
- 33:02It I have, I had the Houston Cincinnati game when I was in or
- 33:05the Houston Colorado game when I was in Disney.
- 33:07I should have just stopped there and hit the one.
- 33:08Yeah, apparently I'm just all left up and, you know, out of
- 33:11coffee. I don't know.
- 33:12I, I just think this is, you know, another reality check game
- 33:15here. I think George rolls, I think
- 33:16A&M rolls. I think all Tim's bets take a
- 33:19bump in the right direction for him.
- 33:21This yeah, up up to 16 1/2 where I believe it currently is.
- 33:25Don't go to 17. You don't want to have a push
- 33:27potentially. But you know, the back door
- 33:30thing is is always out there with the spread this big.
- 33:32But yeah, man, yeah. Yeah, Reality, maybe.
- 33:37Yeah, I mean, that's right. Normalization.
- 33:40I mean, it's been a weird year. It's been difficult to bet some
- 33:42of these games. There's been a lot of bizarre
- 33:43things happening, especially with the points.
- 33:45I just, I usually have a pretty good feel by now of what people
- 33:48are going to score. I don't, and that's weird.
- 33:51So, yeah, but I think it's got to normalize at some point.
- 33:53It's got to become what it's supposed to be, right?
- 33:55Which you would expect a team like A&M to absolutely roll
- 33:58here, Right. Thank you, Mississippi State.
- 34:01Good, good year for them, honestly, at the end of the day,
- 34:03they cannot win another game. Nobody expected that.
- 34:05They played well. Hats off.
- 34:07Good year. But this ain't your place, man.
- 34:09You're going to you're going to get throttled.
- 34:10And and I love that that I'd lay those points all day long.
- 34:13So that's that's excellent. So, yeah, that's what I would
- 34:16expect. A&M is going to kill them.
- 34:17I mean, over and over. It's like 55 1/2.
- 34:19It's like it's too big of a number because I don't know what
- 34:21Mississippi State's going to do, although I think it's probably
- 34:23leading over, but who knows? But yeah, I would agree with
- 34:25that, Tim. You're the A&M guy in in this
- 34:27little group here with the thoughts.
- 34:30Oh yeah, keep it rolling A&M. Hopefully Marcel will get up
- 34:34there. Maybe have like to see him have
- 34:37another 100 yard running game. Maybe we get a couple of passing
- 34:40touchdowns with a running touchdown.
- 34:42Keep no turnovers. Just keep his touchdown.
- 34:47The turnover ratio looking good. You know, like we said, we
- 34:50talked about the other day, it's got to catch up with Mendoza and
- 34:55Dante Moore up there in Oregon. So Yep, keep my eyes been bent,
- 35:00looking good. So hopefully sooner or later
- 35:03they start talking about them more because they're not talking
- 35:05about them at all. I can't, which I really can't
- 35:08believe you look at some of the numbers he's put up.
- 35:09But hopefully this is another national televised game.
- 35:13Keep it rolling, rolling into that Texas scam at the end of
- 35:15the year, that'll be on everyone's set.
- 35:17If they can win all those games, they have to give it to them or
- 35:21at least invite them to New York, and then we'll see what
- 35:24happens from there. But.
- 35:25Jim, I have a question for you. Pete had mentioned earlier about
- 35:28you changing your FSU Homer for next week.
- 35:31Would you possibly change that to A&M Homer because.
- 35:34You have like. I'm just saying with your 11
- 35:37futures bets involving Texas A and MI, just thought maybe a a a
- 35:41name change at the bottom like Pete said is A is a solid idea.
- 35:46Well, it wouldn't be a Homer. You can't.
- 35:48You can't keep that one up there.
- 35:49After this week, you got Marcel Homer.
- 35:51Especially if. You're cheating.
- 35:52Yeah. I mean, a Marcel Homer.
- 35:53Yeah. I don't care what Aggie Homer.
- 35:55Marcel. What do you call it?
- 35:56But I think if you're going to bet against FSU, like Pete said,
- 36:00yeah, I don't know how you can put FSU.
- 36:01Homer as you, especially if anyone doesn't care how you can.
- 36:05And God forbid, dominate this tonight and actually really like
- 36:08show win, win big tonight, man, that's got to come down.
- 36:11That's not you can't keep that up well.
- 36:12If they do that, they're going to show me something.
- 36:14I just, we always say we know our teams, right.
- 36:18Yeah, that's that's fair. That's fair.
- 36:19So. So do you want to talk about the
- 36:22Western Kentucky money line sprinkle you gave out there?
- 36:25Darren yeah, there we go. Look at that nice looking
- 36:31goatee. Yeah.
- 36:33I mean, I we on Thursday's show, I was like, yeah, I I think
- 36:38Western Kentucky was the better team.
- 36:39I did watch a lot of that game. But to be fair, that was kind of
- 36:43a lucky hit because as we had talked about before we started
- 36:47here, Delaware had two key turnovers and missed a last
- 36:53second 42 yard field goal to end this game in overtime.
- 36:55So if you rolled with that play, Congrats.
- 37:00But there was a fair, well, more than a fair amount of luck
- 37:04involved there. So, yeah, I mean, we'll take a
- 37:07win whenever here on this show, I guess, especially given my
- 37:10record to start the season. But yeah, yeah, lesser Kentucky,
- 37:14the the money line weekday sprinkle I guess has hit because
- 37:19of course we have another one today because.
- 37:21Oh yeah, let's keep the sprinkles coming.
- 37:22Oh, like a money line sprinkles. All right, for you adventurous
- 37:27guys who who may have hit on anything Thursday or Friday, I'm
- 37:32going to roll with Purdue here on the money line.
- 37:35I think the spread is somewhere around 8 and a half, 9/9 and 1/2
- 37:38depending on where you shop. But you can get almost 3 to one
- 37:41on the money line here. We're we're kind of down on
- 37:44Illinois and while they did show out a little bit against Duke,
- 37:47Duke is not anything like the anybody thought they should be.
- 37:53We saw maybe what Illinois looked like when they went to
- 37:55Indiana. They did pull out that last
- 37:58second win against USC. So maybe there's a little bit of
- 38:00a let down there. I remember last year Purdue,
- 38:02Purdue was God awful and they only lost 50 to 49 at Illinois.
- 38:08They tried to go for two to win the game and did not get it.
- 38:11This is a much better Purdue team here.
- 38:16Do I expect them to win? I I don't know if I would expect
- 38:19them to win, but everything is is ripe for a little money line
- 38:24sprinkles. So if you're ahead and you got a
- 38:26little money, at what time is this game even at noon?
- 38:29All right, So if you guys hit on anything Thursday or Friday
- 38:32night and you want to sprinkle a little half unit on on something
- 38:36ridiculous, give Purdue a look, man, I don't know Pete, you're
- 38:40the Big 10 guy. I don't know what your thoughts
- 38:41are. I know you're kind of anti
- 38:43Illinois as well, but are you enough pro Purdue to to somewhat
- 38:48maybe agree with that pick? I'm not pro either team.
- 38:52So at the end of the day, I could, I could, I could, I could
- 38:55see, I could see that happening. I mean, over under 54 1/2.
- 38:58I actually thought about going over on this just because of
- 39:00last year's scoring and Purdue's a better team.
- 39:03So I would expect. But then again, the way I'm
- 39:05going at it, it'll probably end up to be a, you know, 20 to 14
- 39:07game. But yeah, I would, that would
- 39:10not shock me at all. I don't, I don't think.
- 39:11I think Illinois is very hot and cold.
- 39:14I think that they they could absolutely get beat here, would
- 39:18not shock me a bit. So yeah, I mean, that's I think
- 39:21that's a pretty reasonable logical sprinkle.
- 39:24I think it makes some sense here.
- 39:25I think it definitely could happen.
- 39:26Yeah, I just, you know, if you're playing these, these are
- 39:28probably like half unit plays, Max.
- 39:31I mean, yesterday's West Kentucky was only getting three.
- 39:33It wasn't an insane money line play by any stretch of the
- 39:36imagination. So maybe on those lesser ones,
- 39:38if you're feeling frisky or have a little extra sprinklage in
- 39:42your bankroll, you know, go for it.
- 39:44But usually, you know, there's a reason these teams are severe
- 39:47plus money because it usually doesn't work out.
- 39:50So for all these that we're going to give out, and Tim, you
- 39:53did tell us pre show there will be multiple graphics with your
- 39:56Dome and Pete. Yeah.
- 39:59All right. So because, you know, I don't
- 40:00want to be the only one putting myself out there picking
- 40:02ridiculous underdogs. But you know, Tim was like, I
- 40:07need your money line sprinkle of the week.
- 40:08I'm like, I'll get it to you. Like 5 minutes later I'm like, F
- 40:11it. Let's go Purdue, baby.
- 40:13I'm just going to say going back to the prior game here, I I
- 40:16would not mind an FSU money line at home.
- 40:18I would not mind that. I would not.
- 40:20Mind. Yeah, I I agree with that.
- 40:22I agree with that. I'll have to get those graphics
- 40:25out for next week and you can see them on YouTube.
- 40:27So if you like and subscribe to our YouTube channel, you'll be
- 40:29able to see all my guys. It is 9:40 in the morning.
- 40:31Who wants to look at that? Come on, I don't even want
- 40:36another cup of coffee now. All right, RPO segment, who
- 40:47wants to start it off? Got Iowa State plus 1 1/2 at
- 40:52Cincinnati. What you thinking?
- 40:55I'll jump on that one real quick.
- 40:57Over under 55 1/2 on on that one.
- 40:59I, I took a look at it. I mean, I, I think it's likely
- 41:01an underwrite. Cincinnati's offense has been
- 41:03inconsistent once again, because I said that plus score 50.
- 41:06But I don't expect that to happen.
- 41:08I think it will be a closer game.
- 41:09I think it it will be under that number.
- 41:12So I'm leaning that direction, not playing it, but I I would
- 41:14not be surprised if it was under that number actually maybe
- 41:16handling into that number. I would take Cincy all day long.
- 41:20Iowa State just lost two of their starting corners for the
- 41:22year. Brandon Sorsby, like Pete said,
- 41:24has been inconsistent, but when he's on, he's pretty on.
- 41:27That's a night game at Nippert Stadium.
- 41:30I would take Cincinnati all day here.
- 41:33All right, Clemson -14 at North Carolina, I'm going to run with
- 41:37Clemson. I'll take it.
- 41:39This is the toilet bowl. I wouldn't watch this one with a
- 41:42gun in my head. I, I, I, I called the Belichick
- 41:44thing before the season even started that that's a dumpster
- 41:47fire that was always going to happen.
- 41:48And Clemson's burning and sinking at the same time, too.
- 41:51Both of these teams, I think both of them need a coaching
- 41:54change immediately. So we'll see how that goes.
- 41:56But yeah, this is, this is not even worth watching to me.
- 41:59This is 2 garbage teams. I will go a step further and I
- 42:03would rather watch a 20 minute repeating loop of a monkey
- 42:07taking a dump then watching this.
- 42:10And not just a regular dump, like the monkeys kind of
- 42:13constipated and he's really angry that he can't take a dump
- 42:16and he's just repeatedly punching himself in the head in
- 42:19an effort to get the dump out that.
- 42:21Would be Belichick in the sideline?
- 42:24I know if this is the only game on.
- 42:28I'm doing something else. Exactly.
- 42:30Yeah, no interest in this at all.
- 42:33Kansas State Plus. 5 1/2 at Baylor.
- 42:36I like Baylor As for some reason after the first couple of weeks
- 42:40that's like the way they look. I'm I I'd probably run with
- 42:42Baylor on this one. I would lean Candace stay here.
- 42:48Dylan Edwards did come back last week, and Kansas State certainly
- 42:52looked a lot better offensively. And Baylor's defense is kind of
- 42:56bad. Pete, I don't know what the
- 42:59total is here, but an over would be a consider.
- 43:02Yeah, it's probably high. But yeah, yeah, I'm saying I I
- 43:04would have considered over at 61 1/2, which to me is just too
- 43:07high if it. Was like me too high.
- 43:08Yeah, mid. 50s I would consider it.
- 43:10This is just as. High Boise State plus 21 at
- 43:14Notre Dame. Your boys there.
- 43:16What are you thinking? Over nothing else.
- 43:18I still don't trust Notre Dame's defense.
- 43:23Yeah, I wouldn't play this one either.
- 43:26But again, this is kind of like a maybe like a playoff
- 43:28eliminator game of sorts. We know if Notre Dame loses,
- 43:31they're not going. And like we talked about
- 43:33earlier, in a game like this where Boise State is kind of
- 43:37well respected after last year, Notre Dame probably needs to
- 43:40cover this as well. So yeah, another big, I mean,
- 43:43they ran a fake punt when they were up like 30 points against
- 43:47Arkansas. Yeah, they're going to need to.
- 43:51I would take Notre Dame because they need to cover.
- 43:53But with Notre Dame's defense, I mean, if this was like 49 to 27
- 44:00or something, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
- 44:02I would mean Notre Dame in the. Old, I mean, it's a big number
- 44:05over under 62 1/2, but still, could they clear that?
- 44:08Quite, quite possibly they could.
- 44:09My confidence level is not high, but I think that that over, I'm
- 44:12leaning that direction is probably in play.
- 44:14I do expect Notre Dame to score a bunch at home, so we'll see
- 44:17what Boise can do. But yeah, I think it'll be a
- 44:19pretty high scoring game, at least on the Notre Dame side.
- 44:22At Virginia, +7 at Louisville. I want to run to the window with
- 44:25Louisville on this one. I like Louisville here, Aaron.
- 44:29Yeah, I do too. Virginia coming off that that
- 44:32big double overtime win against FSU, who knows what they're
- 44:36going to be like or what they have left in the tank.
- 44:38I haven't been fully impressed with Miller Moss, but the the
- 44:42defense is played actually a lot better than I thought.
- 44:45The running backs are remotely healthy, but they're both should
- 44:49be able to go this week. So yeah, I mean, I would look
- 44:51for a 6 1/2, but I would I would still lay the seven with
- 44:55Louisville here. Yeah, I think it'll be a game
- 44:58similar to what we watched last year.
- 45:00I think it's gonna be a high scoring game.
- 45:01So 61 1/2 I think you know, over under is in play.
- 45:04Once again, not playing it, but I am definitely leading at the
- 45:06over here. I think this could be a very
- 45:07high scoring interesting, fun game to watch.
- 45:09I think if I if this games I don't at the same time as some
- 45:12of this other garbage, I'll probably watch this so anyway.
- 45:15Yeah, Washington -5 1/2 at Maryland.
- 45:19I'd run with Washington on this one.
- 45:21Any thoughts Pete? Same.
- 45:23I think they're going to be pissed off, I think to come out
- 45:25and fight and then and fire the ball all over the God damn
- 45:27place. So over under 53 1/2.
- 45:29I mean, I was seriously considering the over here just
- 45:32because what I think Washington themselves will do.
- 45:34So yeah, I I would take Washington away those points all
- 45:37day. Darren.
- 45:38Yeah, it's it's Washington or nothing.
- 45:41There's just something about Maryland I don't trust yet.
- 45:44You know, if they ball out today and prove me wrong, so be it.
- 45:46But I'm not putting my money on on either side here.
- 45:49I'm running away. Michigan State plus 12 at
- 45:53Nebraska. I'm passing on this one.
- 45:56Darren, any thoughts? Michigan State or nothing for
- 46:00me. I just think that's too many
- 46:03points for Nebraska to be laying here.
- 46:06But not not an actual bet, not even really like a strong lean.
- 46:10But if you're like, bro, you have to pick this game, all
- 46:13right? I'm putting like the smallest
- 46:15unit I can think of on Michigan State.
- 46:19I mean, for my futures bet, I need Nebraska to win this game,
- 46:21which I think they will do now. They're going to cover that
- 46:24number was like 11 1/2 or whatever it is now 12 there.
- 46:27It's 11 1/2 here. Yeah, it's I don't think they'll
- 46:30cover that number. I think we should state will
- 46:31keep it close. But I do think Nebraska will win
- 46:33this game. They better for my sake or is
- 46:34another Battana crapper. Texas Tech -12 1/2 at Houston.
- 46:41I'm leaning in Houston. I'm probably going to run with
- 46:43Houston. I like those points at home.
- 46:44I don't know, Darren, what do you think?
- 46:46I agree this this was almost the money line sprinkle the week but
- 46:51I didn't want to go too crazy here.
- 46:53I only watched Houston one time and that Colorado game.
- 46:55I like what I saw but again, that's Colorado.
- 46:58Texas Tech much different animal here but that may I agree with
- 47:02you man that that might be too many points.
- 47:04I would be in Houston here as well.
- 47:06I almost played that 100 is only 51 1/2, which I think is light
- 47:09on this game, to be honest with you.
- 47:10I I think they're going to, I think I'm heavily leading on the
- 47:13over. I almost play.
- 47:14I still might play it, I'm not sure.
- 47:15But yeah, I and I do kind of like Houston at home for sure.
- 47:19So I think I like that. I I like taking the points with
- 47:23Houston and home as well. So this is an interesting game
- 47:25to me. And we got Duke -3 at California
- 47:29Pass Hard pass. Damn, what do you think?
- 47:35I would take California Air if you wanted another money line
- 47:38sprinkle possibility. Duke traveling across the
- 47:41country hasn't really looked like you know their their little
- 47:44transfer quarterback that they paid like 4 million or 8 million
- 47:46for or whatever. Not lived up to it so far.
- 47:49I don't get why Duke is a favorite here.
- 47:53Yeah, I would I would take Cal. I mean, if it if it drops to 2
- 47:571/2 because a lot of Cal money comes in, I would just, you
- 48:00know, screw it, do the money line if you can still get the
- 48:03three. Yeah, I would take the three
- 48:04here. I think Cal wins just came out
- 48:06right. Peter yeah, I said I really
- 48:10don't care at this game. I, I think they're both not sure
- 48:12of good teams and I don't really care, so I'm out.
- 48:17You'll get brutal honesty on this show, people.
- 48:23All right, Pete, let's round it up.
- 48:25What do we got this week from you?
- 48:27Yeah, a loss already, which I don't want to talk about, but
- 48:29anyway, so we've got that that BYU West Virginia game scoring
- 48:32that I didn't expect. So that's a loss.
- 48:34Air Force Navy under 52 1/2, leaning into the service
- 48:38Academy, kind of beat the crappy out of out of each other
- 48:41approach. And then Michigan, Wisconsin,
- 48:43under 43 1/2, which will probably bite me in the ass
- 48:46because obviously it's a blue here.
- 48:47I'd love to see them score 40 points.
- 48:49So that ain't going to happen. So going on that under 1 unit 43
- 48:521/2. All right, Speaking of Friday
- 48:55night losses, I too, well, the Mormon screwed me over last
- 48:59night, but I also have Miami -4 1/2 over Florida State.
- 49:03Penn State -25 1/2 / U CLAI got Alabama big over Vanderbilt -10
- 49:101/2. Darren.
- 49:12Yeah, my picks on the ear deserve their own bronze ass
- 49:15cheek award. But anyway, at least we've
- 49:17already surpassed the win total from last week with a 2 unit
- 49:21win. San Diego State, I'm beating
- 49:23Colorado State, but for today I got 2 units.
- 49:25Georgia -20 1/2 over Kentucky. Texas -4 1/2 over Florida.
- 49:29Bama -10 over Vanity. That plus 123 is taking
- 49:33advantage of the profit boost on DraftKings and tonight's Game 2
- 49:36units. Texas A&M laying 14 1/2 over
- 49:40Mississippi State. All right, well, that'll wrap it
- 49:43up. Thank you for watching,
