- 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 wookends
- 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
- 0:41Speaker 1: browins hack Man, I don't know what is going on
- 0:43Speaker 1: with the Bruins archhape? Is that what it is? I
- 0:46Speaker 1: don't even know it's it's March ninth, I think who
- 0:49Speaker 1: even knows? Man, I don't know what day it 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 can
- 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: did not go well for me. Own five the worst
- 1:10Speaker 1: month that I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the slumperies, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues. Somebody
- 1:20Speaker 1: fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what I
- 1:24Speaker 1: should do at this point other than potentially end it all. Well,
- 1:33Speaker 1: what's up, everybody. It's Toad back with you. Toadstool Sports,
- 1:37Speaker 1: Sunday morning, December fourteenth. Thanks everybody who hung out for
- 1:42Speaker 1: the NFL show last night to give up three plays.
- 1:45Speaker 1: If you want to see my analysis, you can go
- 1:47Speaker 1: there or check out my Instagram. I'll reiterate what those
- 1:50Speaker 1: plays are at the end here, and we'll do a
- 1:53Speaker 1: final market read walk through whatever, like I usually do.
- 1:57Speaker 1: You've been with me on Sunday, you know the drill,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give it a couple additional plays. They're
- 2:04Speaker 1: gonna have one on. I have to put them into
- 2:05Speaker 1: the system, so we're gonna have one on one hockey
- 2:09Speaker 1: play and one NBA play today. I'm skipping college basketball today,
- 2:12Speaker 1: even though I know it was really good yesterday, but
- 2:16Speaker 1: I just don't see any real angle there. And I'm
- 2:18Speaker 1: hoping to turn this thing around in NBA, man, because
- 2:20Speaker 1: NBA hasn't been good over the last few weeks, even
- 2:24Speaker 1: though it's usually my best sport, So I'm not happy
- 2:29Speaker 1: about that. Yesterday. That's the way that it was yesterday.
- 2:33Speaker 1: So maybe I'm recency biased, but we went five and
- 2:35Speaker 1: one in college basketball, I guess today. I mean, all
- 2:38Speaker 1: the underdogs hit and none of them won outrightl though,
- 2:41Speaker 1: of course all of them are huge dogs except for
- 2:43Speaker 1: one of them. Penn State came pretty close, man, in
- 2:47Speaker 1: that first game that we had yesterday. They were in
- 2:49Speaker 1: that game. They were winning the game, I think late
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the game, and then they were down. They were
- 2:54Speaker 1: within two points late in the game too, and I
- 2:56Speaker 1: think they only lost about like four, or maybe they
- 2:58Speaker 1: lost by two. I don't know. That was a close
- 3:00Speaker 1: one for Penn State. Man, So they absolutely covered. They
- 3:03Speaker 1: had the shot to win the game, outright, which is
- 3:05Speaker 1: why I tell you, at least put a little something
- 3:07Speaker 1: on the money line, even with a huge dog like that,
- 3:09Speaker 1: maybe like one percent, you know, just have a little
- 3:11Speaker 1: bit of something on there, one percent of the entire bet.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I mean, so it's if your bet is one percent
- 3:17Speaker 1: of your bankroll, then it's one percent of one percent,
- 3:19Speaker 1: you know, just to have that little something George Washington.
- 3:23Speaker 1: They looked like they weren't gonna get there. They were
- 3:25Speaker 1: losing my margin I think at halftime in the game
- 3:28Speaker 1: against Florida. But they came back and they only lost
- 3:30Speaker 1: by ten, so I'll take that. Uh, Southern Miss was
- 3:34Speaker 1: kind of in their game against ol Miss. Ole Miss
- 3:37Speaker 1: never really got margin. I think Southern Miss came to
- 3:39Speaker 1: within six seven points in that game maybe, so that
- 3:42Speaker 1: was a cover as well. Mercer that line went up
- 3:46Speaker 1: to twenty three and a half, but it didn't really
- 3:47Speaker 1: wind up mattering because they covered anyway. Uh, they were
- 3:51Speaker 1: winning the game. I think maybe even at halftime they
- 3:53Speaker 1: were actually winning the game. Maybe I'm wrong about that,
- 3:56Speaker 1: but they were definitely they were in that think it
- 3:59Speaker 1: was wired to wire cover man for merse or although
- 4:01Speaker 1: they want up losing. I think they probably lost by
- 4:03Speaker 1: double digits, but they still covered. So we got that
- 4:06Speaker 1: one right. Illinois was the loser. I mean, I'm kind
- 4:10Speaker 1: of surprised. It was just it was not a good
- 4:13Speaker 1: game for Illinois. Man, they lost outright. I'm actually kind
- 4:15Speaker 1: of shocked by that because Nebraska was like a public
- 4:18Speaker 1: underdog in that one, as I had predicted. So what
- 4:23Speaker 1: can you do about it, man, It's one of those plays. Yeah,
- 4:25Speaker 1: I mean, I think I I don't know the market
- 4:29Speaker 1: Reid was right on that one, I thought, but it
- 4:30Speaker 1: was just it was bad that one did not work
- 4:33Speaker 1: and then we did get West Virginia, although they should
- 4:35Speaker 1: have won the game outright. West Virginia was winning by
- 4:38Speaker 1: five seven points outright late in that game, and for
- 4:41Speaker 1: a team that slows it down and plays defense like
- 4:44Speaker 1: West Virginia, you got to just finish that thing off, man,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and instead, the game, actually I think, went double overtime,
- 4:50Speaker 1: and that's not what you want with a four point underdog. Man.
- 4:53Speaker 1: If you're that close in regulation and then it goes
- 4:55Speaker 1: into overtime, you do not want that because your underdog
- 4:58Speaker 1: might get tired out and then you I lose by margin.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So I was worried, but I believe they lost by
- 5:03Speaker 1: twos they covered, or by one. Maybe they covered, but
- 5:07Speaker 1: they had multiple chances to win that game, probably should have.
- 5:11Speaker 1: The hockey game was an easy winner with Winnipeg, so
- 5:14Speaker 1: that was a nice one. Five to one I think
- 5:16Speaker 1: was the final there. They had a four nothing lead
- 5:18Speaker 1: in the game, so that was easy. And Okay, see,
- 5:22Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Okac Man, I should
- 5:26Speaker 1: have just stayed off of it, because, as I even
- 5:29Speaker 1: said on the show, like both teams are gonna be motivated.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I just thought that after the long layoff for Wemby,
- 5:34Speaker 1: I thought that it wouldn't go that well for san
- 5:36Speaker 1: Antonio and Oka See was out of the gate with
- 5:39Speaker 1: a double digit lead, like in the first quarter. Man, Like,
- 5:41Speaker 1: they were up eleven at the end of the first quarter.
- 5:44Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, it's looking like they're
- 5:46Speaker 1: just gonna run away with this thing. And then san Antonio,
- 5:49Speaker 1: I believe, opened the second quarter with like a sixteen
- 5:53Speaker 1: to oh run or something like that, or sixteen to
- 5:55Speaker 1: four's out of whatever it was. San Antonio had one
- 5:58Speaker 1: huge run and then they were in the game the
- 6:00Speaker 1: rest of the way. The game was close the entire
- 6:02Speaker 1: rest of the way, and actually they won. They won
- 6:05Speaker 1: the game outright. Uh So, yeah, I'm not happy about that.
- 6:08Speaker 1: We needed okay See to get back and have a
- 6:11Speaker 1: run of their own, and they didn't do it. Zach,
- 6:13Speaker 1: what's up Man, Thanks for hanging out, mister Penzy. What's up, Jeffrey,
- 6:18Speaker 1: what's up Penn State? Yeah, they had a force full
- 6:22Speaker 1: crowd there Yeah, it was at Penn State's campus. So
- 6:26Speaker 1: what didn Oregon do? Oregon had not covered I don't
- 6:28Speaker 1: think on the season did they actually cover yesterday? They
- 6:31Speaker 1: must have. I don't know. Well, yeah, Oregon. Yeah, I
- 6:36Speaker 1: mean I think I gave out a couple of losers
- 6:38Speaker 1: on Oregon this season. They were like zero to nine
- 6:40Speaker 1: against the spread to start the season or something like that,
- 6:43Speaker 1: so maybe they finally covered. All right, let's get into today. Man,
- 6:50Speaker 1: we have college basketball. Nothing really caught my interest when
- 6:54Speaker 1: I was going through this thing, like we have some
- 6:58Speaker 1: games noontime after noon. First thing that caught my eyes, Well,
- 7:02Speaker 1: Iowa State's playing here, right, So I'm thinking, well, is
- 7:05Speaker 1: Iowa staking to be in any sort of like hangover
- 7:08Speaker 1: because they did just have their big rivalry game against
- 7:10Speaker 1: Iowa But that was a win for us on the
- 7:12Speaker 1: show with Iowa covering, But you could see it going
- 7:16Speaker 1: both ways really, and that's the problem because Iowa State
- 7:18Speaker 1: was a huge favorite in that game too and they
- 7:20Speaker 1: almost lost. So like, is it gonna be a hangover
- 7:22Speaker 1: because that was a big game, or is it gonna
- 7:24Speaker 1: be they're gonna bounce back because they didn't play well
- 7:28Speaker 1: as a favorite. But then I'm just like, I don't
- 7:31Speaker 1: really care because they're playing Eastern Illinois. It's just such
- 7:34Speaker 1: a such a mismatch that I'm just like, I'm just
- 7:37Speaker 1: not gonna do anything with this Iowa State. It's a
- 7:39Speaker 1: forty four point favorite. I mean, they don't really have
- 7:42Speaker 1: any incentive to really cover that number, so it is
- 7:46Speaker 1: a huge number. But Eastern Illinois is really bad. Some
- 7:51Speaker 1: of the other big conference teams are playing some little guys.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Not a whole lot going on here. Two PM, Missouri
- 7:57Speaker 1: is playing Bethune Cookman. Missouri could argue does have a
- 8:00Speaker 1: look ahead here because after this it's off to the
- 8:04Speaker 1: Races Man. They play Illinois Florida and the Well Illinois
- 8:07Speaker 1: and then they start SEC play basically after that. So
- 8:10Speaker 1: this is their last remaining game really where they just
- 8:15Speaker 1: probably don't care that much against Bethune Cookman. Missouri has
- 8:19Speaker 1: been really good at home. Though they're eight to no
- 8:21Speaker 1: at home Bethune Cookman, the very least you can say
- 8:25Speaker 1: is they're not going to be intimidated like they started
- 8:27Speaker 1: out the season with that game against Auburn where I
- 8:29Speaker 1: think they took them overtime. That was a really good
- 8:32Speaker 1: performance from them. They had a pretty good performance at
- 8:34Speaker 1: Dayton as well, but they've also gotten smoked by Miami
- 8:39Speaker 1: and Indiana, so it's not all good for them. They'll
- 8:43Speaker 1: try to get up for the game. Nonetheless, like I
- 8:45Speaker 1: think Bethune Cookman is probably the way I would lean
- 8:47Speaker 1: in that game plus all the points if I was
- 8:50Speaker 1: gonna take it, but I'm not gonna do it. Missouri's
- 8:52Speaker 1: a nineteen point favorite in that one, up from seventeen
- 8:56Speaker 1: and a half. So just putting some of the information
- 8:59Speaker 1: out there. Games that I had any real thought on
- 9:02Speaker 1: at all, I don't. I don't think I had too
- 9:06Speaker 1: much of a thought on most of the rest of these,
- 9:08Speaker 1: except Iowa is playing on Big ten Network at three PM,
- 9:11Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, you know, the way that I do
- 9:14Speaker 1: things like this is a spot where I definitely would
- 9:16Speaker 1: want to fade Iowa because Iowa just took Iowa State
- 9:19Speaker 1: to the limit. Man, it was a monster game for them.
- 9:22Speaker 1: They went on the road, they covered, they almost went
- 9:24Speaker 1: outright huge rivalry game and they were a double digit underdog.
- 9:28Speaker 1: We got it right on the show because Iowa State
- 9:30Speaker 1: was coming off that massacre of Purdue. That was a
- 9:32Speaker 1: huge win for them, like a ridiculous win. So I'm like, okay,
- 9:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at Western Michigan here, right, We're gonna
- 9:40Speaker 1: be getting them as a big underdog. Iowa doesn't play
- 9:43Speaker 1: well as a big favorite because they're you know, they
- 9:45Speaker 1: played really really slow, so you don't really want to
- 9:48Speaker 1: lay points with Iowa. So that's another indicator to look
- 9:51Speaker 1: towards Western Michigan. The problem is Western Michigan is coming
- 9:54Speaker 1: off pulling off a pretty big upset of their own.
- 9:57Speaker 1: They went to SIU Edwardsville and they pulled it off. Man,
- 10:00Speaker 1: they were a substantial underdog in this game. I don't
- 10:03Speaker 1: know exactly what the line was. I would guess it
- 10:05Speaker 1: was probably about eight or so. So Western Michigan's coming
- 10:08Speaker 1: up a really nice win as well. And it was
- 10:10Speaker 1: an outlier as well. If you look at what happened
- 10:12Speaker 1: in this game, they shot sixty percent from three point
- 10:15Speaker 1: range and fifty seven percent from the field. I mean,
- 10:17Speaker 1: come on, man, like that's you're not going to see
- 10:21Speaker 1: that happen again. That's not gonna happen against Iowa, Okay,
- 10:26Speaker 1: but they will try to step it up because this
- 10:27Speaker 1: is one of their big games of the season. They
- 10:30Speaker 1: probably won't be intimidated because they did already have to
- 10:32Speaker 1: play on the road at Ohio State. But then again
- 10:35Speaker 1: it didn't go well. They lost horribly in that game.
- 10:38Speaker 1: So I'm a little bit all over the place in
- 10:40Speaker 1: that one. I would lean towards Western Michigan plus the points,
- 10:43Speaker 1: but it's not on my card or anything. You're getting
- 10:46Speaker 1: twenty eight points though, with a total of one hundred
- 10:50Speaker 1: and forty four, so asking Iowa to cover a twenty
- 10:53Speaker 1: eight points red is a lot man when they play
- 10:55Speaker 1: so slow, and they just might not really care that
- 10:58Speaker 1: much about this game. So yeah, I mean, if I
- 11:01Speaker 1: was gonna play it, I would take the points. We
- 11:04Speaker 1: have Florida Gulf Coast at New Mexico. Now New Mexico's
- 11:07Speaker 1: coming up, going to VCU and pulling off an upset there.
- 11:10Speaker 1: That was a big win for New Mexico, and then
- 11:13Speaker 1: they start conference play after this, although unfortunately it's not
- 11:16Speaker 1: against one of the bigger teams in the conference. It's
- 11:19Speaker 1: against San Jose State, but it is still a conference game,
- 11:22Speaker 1: so this is kind of a sandwich spot here. And
- 11:25Speaker 1: they'd beaten Santa Clara before they beat VCU too, so
- 11:28Speaker 1: New Mexico of two pretty big wins. My problem is
- 11:32Speaker 1: how is Florida Gulf Coast going to adapt to playing
- 11:35Speaker 1: in New Mexico in the pit like they have not
- 11:38Speaker 1: played in an environment like this this year, having to
- 11:40Speaker 1: go into high elevation, the furthest west they've gone, I
- 11:43Speaker 1: think is Illinois, so and they got smoked in that game.
- 11:47Speaker 1: But Illinois is better than New Mexico. But I don't know.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I just don't think I can quite do it, man.
- 11:52Speaker 1: A little Golf Coast is off of a kind of
- 11:54Speaker 1: ugly loss to Fau where I don't even know which
- 11:57Speaker 1: team is favored in this game. Golf Coast probably was fake,
- 12:00Speaker 1: but I bet it was probably a small favorite. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 1: it looks like that was probably about what it was.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I would lean to Florida Gulf Coast in that one,
- 12:08Speaker 1: but I can't really get there with that one either.
- 12:10Speaker 1: So they're seventeen and a half point favorite, or she's
- 12:14Speaker 1: seventeen and a half point dogs to New Mexico there
- 12:16Speaker 1: up from fifteen. So we'll we'll figure it out. Man,
- 12:19Speaker 1: We'll see you lost seventy seven, you're gonna win one
- 12:23Speaker 1: seventy seven? Should I don't know play my plays, man,
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm trying. I'm trying to get wins here. At least
- 12:30Speaker 1: yesterday was a really good day, six and two on
- 12:33Speaker 1: the show here yesterday. So I don't try to mess around,
- 12:36Speaker 1: man like I just give out exactly what I would play,
- 12:38Speaker 1: nothing more, nothing less, you know what I mean? This
- 12:40Speaker 1: is just it all straight bets, no gay bets. Charlotte
- 12:45Speaker 1: at Charleston. Now, Charleston is coming off a pretty close
- 12:50Speaker 1: call against South Florida. Man, South Florida was a pretty
- 12:53Speaker 1: big favorite in that game, so that was a big
- 12:55Speaker 1: performance from Charleston. Now they're coming off of that. I
- 12:58Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of a hangover spot coming
- 13:01Speaker 1: off of that game. Man, Charlotte one of the lesser
- 13:03Speaker 1: teams in the Carolinas. You got to figure they probably
- 13:06Speaker 1: get up for a game against Charleston. They're coming off
- 13:09Speaker 1: a pretty big game themselves though against Utah State Orthough
- 13:12Speaker 1: they did not play well. They got blown out. So
- 13:15Speaker 1: I think this is a better spot for Charlotte here.
- 13:17Speaker 1: That's the way I would lean in that game. Mostly,
- 13:20Speaker 1: it would be a fane of Charleston off their South
- 13:22Speaker 1: Florida game. That line is only five pretty low total
- 13:26Speaker 1: of one hundred and forty one and a half too,
- 13:27Speaker 1: so I would take the points with Charlotte if I
- 13:30Speaker 1: was gonna play it. And you know, again, a lot
- 13:33Speaker 1: of this is just you know, I am I'm one.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Am I trying to say. A lot of this is
- 13:39Speaker 1: just I'm trying to like give you insight into like
- 13:41Speaker 1: how I think about these games. You know, Kent State
- 13:45Speaker 1: is at Portland. Kind of a weird spot for Kent State. Man,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and actually this is their first true road game of
- 13:51Speaker 1: the season, this late into the season and they have
- 13:54Speaker 1: to go to the Pacific Coast to a very weird
- 13:56Speaker 1: spot for Kent State. Kent State is a good team,
- 13:59Speaker 1: like they're gonna be one of the best teams in
- 14:01Speaker 1: the MAC, Like they're definitely gonna be in the running
- 14:04Speaker 1: to win the MAC. But this is just a very
- 14:06Speaker 1: odd spot. Portland has been pretty good at home at
- 14:09Speaker 1: six and two, although some of those games are against
- 14:12Speaker 1: non D one teams, or at least one of them
- 14:14Speaker 1: was two of them actually, so they're coming up an
- 14:17Speaker 1: easy win, easy ish win over some Lewis and Clark
- 14:22Speaker 1: I think a non Division one team staying at home.
- 14:25Speaker 1: The problem with that is that Portland in three days
- 14:28Speaker 1: has one of their biggest games of this season. They
- 14:29Speaker 1: got to play the University of Oregon in three days,
- 14:33Speaker 1: and that is always a big deal for Portland because
- 14:35Speaker 1: that's the biggest brother in the state of Oregon, so
- 14:39Speaker 1: that is a little brother big brother matchup there, so
- 14:42Speaker 1: possible they overlook Kent State, although Kent State is good,
- 14:45Speaker 1: so they probably won't overlook them. So I would probably
- 14:49Speaker 1: lean towards taking the points with Portland in that one,
- 14:51Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna get there with that one either,
- 14:55Speaker 1: just because I am worried about the look ahead there.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I like the Yeah, Cleaveland Chicago is is probably my
- 15:04Speaker 1: strongest play on the entire NFL board, So do with
- 15:08Speaker 1: that what you will, but you're getting the hook on
- 15:10Speaker 1: the seven. I mean, I'll talk about it at the
- 15:12Speaker 1: end of the show, but I think Cleveland is my
- 15:14Speaker 1: favorite play. I mean that's I identified that spot like
- 15:17Speaker 1: weeks ago. I was looking to play the Browns in
- 15:19Speaker 1: this spot, and it the way that it worked out.
- 15:23Speaker 1: It did work out the way that I wanted to
- 15:25Speaker 1: make that play. Wake Forest is playing against my man, Queen's.
- 15:31Speaker 1: The only college basketball head coach who follows me on
- 15:35Speaker 1: Twitter is the coach of Queen's. Because I liked his
- 15:39Speaker 1: Thanksgiving ugly sweater. Maybe he's already unfollowed me. I don't know.
- 15:43Speaker 1: He seems like a cool dude, though I already forget
- 15:45Speaker 1: his name. I apologize. But they're playing Wake. I think
- 15:50Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards taking the points with Queens
- 15:52Speaker 1: in this one. I mean, you know, me like defaulting
- 15:55Speaker 1: to all these underdogs. But Wake is coming up a
- 15:57Speaker 1: pretty nice win over West Virginia. That was a bigger game.
- 16:00Speaker 1: They got Longwood and then they start well, they play
- 16:04Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and then they start acc play after that, so
- 16:07Speaker 1: they got bigger games on deck. This is a flat
- 16:11Speaker 1: spot I think in their schedule. Queens has been really
- 16:14Speaker 1: bad on the road though own four, Wake is five
- 16:17Speaker 1: and one at home. Wake also played They played Michigan
- 16:20Speaker 1: really tight as well, which I forget if that was
- 16:22Speaker 1: a home game or not. I think that was actually
- 16:24Speaker 1: a semi road game, but maybe I'm wrong. I would
- 16:26Speaker 1: have to look. But not gonna play this game anyway.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Queens is coming off a couple of easy wins against
- 16:32Speaker 1: Gardner Webb and South Carolina State, not good teams. South
- 16:35Speaker 1: Carolina State, by the way, that was bullshit in the
- 16:39Speaker 1: Cricket Celebration Bowl yesterday. If you saw any of that.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Prairie View A and M had a twenty one to
- 16:46Speaker 1: nothing lead in that game, and they were winning thirty
- 16:48Speaker 1: five to twenty one in the fourth quarter and it
- 16:51Speaker 1: went into overtime and they lost. Even though they dominated
- 16:54Speaker 1: South Carolina State in the game. They had one hundred
- 16:57Speaker 1: and forty more yards in the game than South Carolina State,
- 17:00Speaker 1: they were only minus one and turnover, so the game
- 17:02Speaker 1: made absolutely no sense. It was a single turnover in
- 17:05Speaker 1: the game. There's no way that Prairie View should have
- 17:08Speaker 1: lost that game, man. So I'm kind of angry about
- 17:10Speaker 1: that just because I was. I mean, I have to
- 17:13Speaker 1: pick all the bowl games in the Bowl pick THEMS,
- 17:15Speaker 1: so I lost a pick on it. So I'm not
- 17:18Speaker 1: happy about it because I thought I had the right
- 17:19Speaker 1: side and should have been. I was going against the
- 17:23Speaker 1: public with it. So the idiots got that one right
- 17:26Speaker 1: and I didn't, you know, and we're getting line value
- 17:30Speaker 1: in espians spread pick them. The spread had already locked it,
- 17:35Speaker 1: like South Carolina State minus one and a half, and
- 17:37Speaker 1: when the game went off, Prairie View A and M
- 17:39Speaker 1: was like a two and a half point favorite, So
- 17:41Speaker 1: you had the right side of the line as well
- 17:43Speaker 1: by being on Prairie View and overtime was just disgusting, dude.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I cannot believe that they lost in I think it
- 17:50Speaker 1: was triple overtime and or maybe four overtimes and whatever
- 17:55Speaker 1: it was. The teams didn't even score after the first overtime, like,
- 18:02Speaker 1: both teams scored a field goal, So even though it
- 18:04Speaker 1: was a high scoring game thirty five to thirty five
- 18:07Speaker 1: going into overtime, both teams I think scored a field
- 18:10Speaker 1: goal in the first overtime and then neither team scored
- 18:13Speaker 1: again until it got to the two point conversion section
- 18:17Speaker 1: of overtime and Prairie View A and M completely threw
- 18:21Speaker 1: it away and they and they failed on the two
- 18:23Speaker 1: point conversion attempt and South Carolina State got it and
- 18:27Speaker 1: that was the end of the game. It's just such bullshit, dude,
- 18:31Speaker 1: covering that bad number by a half point two. So
- 18:34Speaker 1: I'm pissed about it. But anyway back to this, Yeah, Queens,
- 18:38Speaker 1: I think it does set up better for them. I
- 18:40Speaker 1: think they will show up for a game against wake Forest.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I mean, wake Forest is a bigger brother in the
- 18:44Speaker 1: state of North Carolina too, because Queens. They are not
- 18:47Speaker 1: in Queens, New York. They're in Queen's North Carolina. They're
- 18:51Speaker 1: Queens n C. So yeah, big brother, little brother situation
- 18:58Speaker 1: there for Queens, so I would take the points with Queens.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Wake is up to a seventeen point favorite there. I
- 19:03Speaker 1: do worry because Wake does kind of play fast, so
- 19:06Speaker 1: it is a high total in the one sixties. There
- 19:09Speaker 1: By the way, I did not see if that total
- 19:10Speaker 1: went over in the Arizona game last night, because I
- 19:13Speaker 1: thought it would be very high scoring. I don't know,
- 19:15Speaker 1: I never saw what the final was. Then we have
- 19:18Speaker 1: North Texas and South Alabama. North Texas they're coming off
- 19:22Speaker 1: a pretty close game against TCU. Man they lost by ten,
- 19:26Speaker 1: but they were within like six seven points with a
- 19:28Speaker 1: few minutes left in that game. So they had a
- 19:31Speaker 1: huge game against in state big brother TCU, and now
- 19:34Speaker 1: they're coming off of that and they got to go
- 19:35Speaker 1: on the road to face South Alabama. North Texas did
- 19:39Speaker 1: not do well on the road the last couple of times. Well.
- 19:41Speaker 1: They lost badly to Saint Mary's and then of course
- 19:44Speaker 1: the other game they should have won though at Oregon State,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and they lost because they called a timeout with no
- 19:50Speaker 1: timeouts left and lost on technical free throws. Really really
- 19:54Speaker 1: ridiculous there. But yeah, North Texas, I think they were
- 19:58Speaker 1: in a bad spot here to go to South Alabama
- 20:01Speaker 1: after that close call against TCU. Cuthlabama does have a
- 20:05Speaker 1: good record though, and two and zero at home doesn't
- 20:08Speaker 1: really matter that much. But Cuth Alabama is also coming
- 20:11Speaker 1: off a real ugly loss at East Tennessee. East Tennessee
- 20:14Speaker 1: is good this year and they were a big favorite
- 20:16Speaker 1: in that game. So South Alabama is not as good
- 20:18Speaker 1: as their record looks. They played a pretty weak schedule
- 20:21Speaker 1: so far, which is what worries me about this game,
- 20:24Speaker 1: Like they're not as good as the record indicates, but
- 20:27Speaker 1: they are coming up of a blowout loss, So I
- 20:28Speaker 1: do think they are the right side here, and I
- 20:30Speaker 1: do think North Texas probably will be getting the public
- 20:34Speaker 1: action here. South Alabama is up from one and a
- 20:36Speaker 1: half to two and a half here, sixty seven percent
- 20:39Speaker 1: of the tickets in ninety two percent of the cash
- 20:41Speaker 1: on North Texas, so it looks like maybe the money
- 20:46Speaker 1: is kind of on the North Texas side for now.
- 20:48Speaker 1: But it's South Alabama or a pass for me in
- 20:51Speaker 1: that one. But again, I worry that they're a really
- 20:54Speaker 1: overrated team. Ken bum literally has Soeuth Alabama number one
- 20:57Speaker 1: in his luck Index, meaning that they've been the most
- 21:01Speaker 1: overperforming team, you know, all of college basketball so far.
- 21:05Speaker 1: So I don't like that. So it's a stay away. Then.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Probably the biggest game of the day is at six
- 21:11Speaker 1: pm Saint Mary's in Boise, although this is not at Boise,
- 21:14Speaker 1: it's in Idaho Falls, so it is a semi home game,
- 21:19Speaker 1: I guess for Boise State. Still maybe kind of a
- 21:21Speaker 1: weird spot for Saint Mary's have to go up to
- 21:23Speaker 1: Idaho a though these teams in the West Coast Conference,
- 21:26Speaker 1: they're used to playing in the Western US. But for
- 21:29Speaker 1: Saint Mary's they did also have to just travel to
- 21:31Speaker 1: the East Coast and they beat Davidson. Now they're coming
- 21:35Speaker 1: back up here. I don't know, man, I mean, I
- 21:38Speaker 1: would worry a little bit about Saint Mary's on the
- 21:41Speaker 1: basically on the road, like this semi road Boise easier
- 21:46Speaker 1: game for them because they're staying at home, and they
- 21:48Speaker 1: had that pretty easy win over Ducane in the last game.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Although Ducaine is pretty good, that actually looked like a
- 21:53Speaker 1: sandwich spot because Boise had just beaten Butler on the
- 21:57Speaker 1: road as a big underdog and they still showed up
- 21:59Speaker 1: and beat Duquesne anyway, and then they had Saint Mary's
- 22:03Speaker 1: coming up after this, so that does tell you something
- 22:05Speaker 1: that Boise was able to win by margin in a
- 22:09Speaker 1: bad spot, so kind of lean to Boise in this one.
- 22:13Speaker 1: They're getting eighty three percent of the tickets, ninety nine
- 22:15Speaker 1: percent of the cash. There are only two and a
- 22:17Speaker 1: half point dogs, although points are going to be at
- 22:19Speaker 1: a premium in a game like this where both of
- 22:22Speaker 1: those teams play really really slow, so an under also
- 22:25Speaker 1: probably makes sense that the total has already dropped to
- 22:28Speaker 1: one thirty five from one thirty eight, but that is
- 22:31Speaker 1: a game that is going to be at a slow pace.
- 22:36Speaker 1: And then we do have Washington State and USC is
- 22:40Speaker 1: the latest game at seven thirty pm Eastern. I don't
- 22:43Speaker 1: really have much of a thought on this. It's an
- 22:45Speaker 1: old PAC twelve matchup that no longer is one. Washington
- 22:48Speaker 1: State's coming up losington Nevada at home. Washington State's really
- 22:52Speaker 1: not that good though, man. I mean, I know former
- 22:54Speaker 1: Pac twelve team, they were in the tournament a couple
- 22:56Speaker 1: of years ago. They're really just not very good right now.
- 23:00Speaker 1: The USC is definitely the better team. Nevada was a
- 23:03Speaker 1: big favorite against them and they lost that game. USC, though,
- 23:06Speaker 1: is coming off some bigger games. I think actually no,
- 23:10Speaker 1: USC had their kind of flat spot in their last
- 23:13Speaker 1: game at San Diego and they still won by thirteen.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Don't know if that was a cover or not. It
- 23:17Speaker 1: probably wasn't, but that was kind of their flat spot.
- 23:22Speaker 1: So I kind of think they bounce back or played
- 23:24Speaker 1: better in this game back at home. So I don't
- 23:27Speaker 1: really want to do anything with this game. Positive spot
- 23:29Speaker 1: kind of for both teams. Looks like the money is
- 23:32Speaker 1: on the USC side eighty three percent of the tickets,
- 23:35Speaker 1: ninety seven percent of the cash, sitting at a fourteen
- 23:37Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Not a whole lot else
- 23:40Speaker 1: to say there, though, all right, hockey, we do have
- 23:43Speaker 1: one play. We'll just do it whatever. It's the first
- 23:46Speaker 1: it's the first game, so here it is the best bets.
- 23:50Speaker 1: I think it is a night game though, right everything
- 23:52Speaker 1: is a night game. Oh no, it is afternoon. It's
- 23:54Speaker 1: twelve thirty pm. We were going to take the Vancouver
- 23:57Speaker 1: Canucks again, even though I'm pissed at them because we
- 24:01Speaker 1: lost in their last game. Going with the Vancouver Canucks,
- 24:04Speaker 1: but I think it sets up to play them again
- 24:07Speaker 1: here because they've been off since that game on Thursday.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It was a pretty ugly loss to Buffalo, who is
- 24:12Speaker 1: not very good. Now they're starting a road trip with
- 24:14Speaker 1: two days off, So I like all of that. Like
- 24:16Speaker 1: when a team starts a road trip, that's usually a
- 24:20Speaker 1: positive spot because you want to get the road trip
- 24:22Speaker 1: off on the right foot. They're gonna be focused, and
- 24:24Speaker 1: it's a pretty good New Jersey team. You would have
- 24:26Speaker 1: to imagine leaving home is also a good thing because
- 24:29Speaker 1: you just get it out of the way, you know.
- 24:31Speaker 1: The one concern maybe is that, oh, this is gonna
- 24:33Speaker 1: be in an early start time for a West Coast team,
- 24:35Speaker 1: so they're starting at nine to thirty am their time.
- 24:38Speaker 1: But again, like I say, like, there's a reason why
- 24:41Speaker 1: dude to work out most like most of the times,
- 24:44Speaker 1: they're gonna do it early in the morning, right, It's
- 24:45Speaker 1: because that's when you have your energy. You get up,
- 24:48Speaker 1: you got your energy, you do it, you know what
- 24:50Speaker 1: I mean. So I think those early start times are overstated,
- 24:54Speaker 1: Like I think the late start times on the West
- 24:56Speaker 1: Coast for the East Coast teams are much worse. So
- 24:59Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. Again, I think that break is
- 25:02Speaker 1: going to disrupt their losing momentum. Leaving home is good
- 25:05Speaker 1: because you just focus on hockey. You don't have to
- 25:07Speaker 1: worry about what everybody's saying about you, you know, in
- 25:10Speaker 1: the local media and whatever, because Vancouver is a hockey
- 25:13Speaker 1: town and they're probably pretty mad about how bad team
- 25:17Speaker 1: is this year. But also that game against Buffalo, Vancouver
- 25:20Speaker 1: dominated this game, which is why I'm so pissed. They
- 25:22Speaker 1: should have won this game. Vancouver did have the two
- 25:27Speaker 1: to one lee late in the game, then wound up
- 25:30Speaker 1: losing on a late goal in the third period. But
- 25:33Speaker 1: look at the stats in this game, man, Vancouver thirty
- 25:36Speaker 1: two to fifteen in shots, they had more than double
- 25:39Speaker 1: Buffalo shots, twenty two to thirteen in hits, and they
- 25:42Speaker 1: had almost sixty percent of faceoffs one and fewer penalty minutes.
- 25:46Speaker 1: So how the fuck did they lose this game? Just
- 25:50Speaker 1: almost like luck of the draw, basically just not even
- 25:54Speaker 1: really bad goaltending because the final was three to two.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It's just I think we got really unlucky on that one.
- 26:00Speaker 1: So Vancouver was at least better, much better in that
- 26:02Speaker 1: game than what it looked like. But also, we're gonna
- 26:05Speaker 1: fade New Jersey in this one. I mean New Jersey.
- 26:07Speaker 1: They've definitely been struggling without Hughes, that's for sure. They
- 26:10Speaker 1: haven't been as good. They're coming off a win yesterday
- 26:14Speaker 1: against Anaheim, so they're on a back to back, although
- 26:17Speaker 1: I know they're staying at home, but you gotta think
- 26:18Speaker 1: Vancouver probably already did their travel, Like I'm assuming they're
- 26:22Speaker 1: already out there, so they're probably already adjusted to the
- 26:24Speaker 1: time zone. Big win for New Jersey against a pretty
- 26:27Speaker 1: good Anaheim team. Now they have Vancouver on a back
- 26:31Speaker 1: to back or I just think they're gonna overlook the
- 26:33Speaker 1: mantel though. New Jersey's probably gonna use Mark Strom in net,
- 26:36Speaker 1: but he's really not that bad. Both of their goalies
- 26:39Speaker 1: are like pretty even, I would say. But New Jersey
- 26:43Speaker 1: up next, they got Vegas. Man, they start a road
- 26:46Speaker 1: trip on Wednesday, and they have to go to Vegas.
- 26:48Speaker 1: That is a bigger game Vegas. Not only is Vegas
- 26:51Speaker 1: a better team, but Vegas just beat New Jersey three
- 26:54Speaker 1: to nothing in New Jersey, so I do think that
- 26:56Speaker 1: is a look ahead spot there. So this is basically
- 26:59Speaker 1: a sandwich. We will take Vancouver. The line already dropped
- 27:03Speaker 1: from minus one fifty to minus one twenty eight on
- 27:05Speaker 1: New Jersey. So it is a very cheap price on
- 27:08Speaker 1: New Jersey. And I think a lot of that has
- 27:10Speaker 1: to do with the fact that New Jersey's on the
- 27:11Speaker 1: back to back, although you got to think why would
- 27:14Speaker 1: it have opened at a higher price though, because you
- 27:16Speaker 1: knew they were going to be on a back to back,
- 27:18Speaker 1: So I don't know. But in the on the other hand,
- 27:23Speaker 1: the price just looks way too cheap, right, Like no
- 27:26Speaker 1: public better is going to be coming in on Vancouver
- 27:28Speaker 1: here on New Jersey doesn't have sixty five percent of
- 27:30Speaker 1: tickets ninety percent of the cash right now, But I
- 27:33Speaker 1: don't care. I'm going based on the spot. We get
- 27:35Speaker 1: Vancouver as a dog and that one that is my
- 27:37Speaker 1: one hockey play of the day. Yeah, Canucks in the matinee,
- 27:42Speaker 1: that is That is what we're going with there, all right.
- 27:48Speaker 1: The other hockey games here, we have Utah at Pittsburgh.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is on the back to back and they had
- 27:53Speaker 1: a brutal game yesterday, which somebody was alluding to this
- 27:57Speaker 1: in the chat last night. I hadn't seen what happened
- 27:59Speaker 1: in this game one of our I forget if it
- 28:02Speaker 1: was sob somebody was in the chat last night, I
- 28:04Speaker 1: said they had Pittsburgh to win in regulation in that game.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was winning that game against San Jose last night
- 28:11Speaker 1: five to one in the third period, and they lost
- 28:14Speaker 1: in overtime. I mean, that is that is insane, Like
- 28:17Speaker 1: I would be probably like ready to jump off a
- 28:21Speaker 1: bridge if I had been on that side of the game.
- 28:25Speaker 1: I mean, how does Pittsburgh lose when they're up five
- 28:27Speaker 1: to one in the third period. It makes no sense,
- 28:30Speaker 1: That's what happened. Now they're coming off of that with
- 28:32Speaker 1: no time to recollect themselves, and they do have to
- 28:34Speaker 1: play Edmonton after this, so possible they kind of just
- 28:39Speaker 1: don't have it in this one. Man, all those San
- 28:41Speaker 1: Jose is a bad team though, so that is a
- 28:43Speaker 1: pretty disgusting loss. It's an ugly loss. So I don't know, man, Pittsburgh.
- 28:49Speaker 1: The thing is, though they will have who is the
- 28:51Speaker 1: goalie that Pittsburgh just got Skinner right, so he's probably
- 28:54Speaker 1: gonna play in this game. But then the problem is
- 28:58Speaker 1: Skinner gets to vasis Armer team Tuesday. So I think
- 29:02Speaker 1: it's a look ahead for that reason too, because Pittsburgh Edmonton.
- 29:05Speaker 1: That was the goalie swap, and the goalie swap game
- 29:08Speaker 1: is next, so I think they might look ahead to it. Man,
- 29:11Speaker 1: so I think Skinner might be a net in this game, though,
- 29:14Speaker 1: I'm assuming because it's a back to back and Jerry
- 29:18Speaker 1: Jari was the one who got traded for him, and
- 29:20Speaker 1: Silov's played last night, so I'm assuming it will be
- 29:23Speaker 1: Skinner making his debut for Pittsburgh. I'm not gonna touch
- 29:27Speaker 1: this game, but I would probably lean towards Utah if
- 29:30Speaker 1: I was gonna play it for Utah. Utah just got
- 29:35Speaker 1: a win to break a lost streak and now they're
- 29:37Speaker 1: starting a road trip, so that is a focused spot.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Utah not a big win. It was a win over Seattle.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Seattle's really not that good, so I think that'll just
- 29:46Speaker 1: give Utah a bit of momentum coming into this road
- 29:48Speaker 1: trip to start the road trip, so I like Utah
- 29:51Speaker 1: in that game. Also pretty telling though, that Utah is
- 29:55Speaker 1: a road favorite against Pittsburgh even though Utah has the
- 29:58Speaker 1: worst record. The odds makers are telling you Utah is
- 30:01Speaker 1: the better team, although the money looks like it's coming
- 30:03Speaker 1: in on Pittsburgh. But I don't really agree. Utah down
- 30:06Speaker 1: for minus one thirty six minus one twenty seven sixty
- 30:09Speaker 1: two percent of tickets ninety five percent of the cash
- 30:11Speaker 1: on Pittsburgh. But also Skinner is starting. I mean, he
- 30:16Speaker 1: does have to get used to being, you know, in
- 30:17Speaker 1: a new environment and whatever. So who knows how he's
- 30:20Speaker 1: going to react to it all though, of course, when
- 30:21Speaker 1: you're a goalie, I mean, it's all pretty similar, right,
- 30:24Speaker 1: your job is the same no matter what. So but
- 30:26Speaker 1: you know, playing in a different city, whatever, maybe it'll
- 30:29Speaker 1: be a little bit weird. Who knows. But that's a
- 30:32Speaker 1: stay away of Philadelphia and Carolina. I think it's actually
- 30:35Speaker 1: kind of a zigzag spot in favor of Carolina, even
- 30:39Speaker 1: though Carolina won at Philadelphia yesterday. So these teams are
- 30:43Speaker 1: on a back to back traveling from Philly back to Carolina.
- 30:46Speaker 1: But Carolina did not do well in the game yesterday.
- 30:50Speaker 1: They almost lost to Philadelphia. But on the other hand, Philadelphia,
- 30:54Speaker 1: that's a brutal loss for them because they almost beat
- 30:56Speaker 1: Carolina and now after that close call, they have to
- 30:59Speaker 1: turn around and face Carolina again. And Carolina I think
- 31:03Speaker 1: realizes that they kind of escaped in that game and
- 31:05Speaker 1: they might just play better this time. Although I know
- 31:08Speaker 1: it's one of those weird single game home stands for them.
- 31:10Speaker 1: But they have to go back out on the road
- 31:12Speaker 1: after this, but they're only returning from a road trip
- 31:14Speaker 1: that they were on starting on Thursday, so not really
- 31:18Speaker 1: a huge road trip return spot. Yesterday was kind of
- 31:21Speaker 1: an iffy spot for Carolina too, because they had had
- 31:23Speaker 1: that huge win at Washington two days prior, and now, yes,
- 31:27Speaker 1: it does mean they're on a third game in four days,
- 31:29Speaker 1: all in different cities. Philadelphia is also playing a third
- 31:32Speaker 1: game in four and a's to know. Although two of them,
- 31:34Speaker 1: I think we're at home for them, but I think
- 31:36Speaker 1: Carolina is probably the right side. And this one throw
- 31:39Speaker 1: up from minus two to thirty to minus two forty.
- 31:41Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna play it, it has to be
- 31:43Speaker 1: like a money line play probably, or you could maybe
- 31:47Speaker 1: do something like Philadelphia under their team total might make
- 31:51Speaker 1: sense in a game like that, because Carolina does usually
- 31:53Speaker 1: like to focus on playing more defensively. Boston my Bruins
- 31:59Speaker 1: are at Minnio. The Bruins have more rest coming into
- 32:03Speaker 1: this one than Minnesota does. Bruins are on a nice
- 32:05Speaker 1: four game win straight, although they are coming off two
- 32:09Speaker 1: pretty big wins. I guess winning by three goals at
- 32:12Speaker 1: least against Saint Louis and Winnipeg, although both those teams
- 32:17Speaker 1: are not very good right now. So there is that
- 32:20Speaker 1: Swayman will be back in net for the Bruins here.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Corpor Solo will played the last game, although the Bruins
- 32:25Speaker 1: have won Corpor solos last two games, so I don't know,
- 32:28Speaker 1: but Swayman is definitely the better of the goalies, so
- 32:30Speaker 1: it will be him this time, assuming he's not hurt
- 32:33Speaker 1: or whatever. Bruins haven't played, you know, for a couple days.
- 32:36Speaker 1: They haven't played since the eleventh, I think, so the
- 32:38Speaker 1: Bruins are definitely more rested here. Minnesota played yesterday, So
- 32:43Speaker 1: Minnesota is playing a third game in four days, and
- 32:46Speaker 1: they're coming up beating Dallas and Ottawa and they have
- 32:49Speaker 1: to play Washington next and as I pointed out, that's
- 32:51Speaker 1: a big game. That was part of my handicap yesterday
- 32:54Speaker 1: and fading Washington was that I thought Washington was gonna
- 32:57Speaker 1: be looking ahead because this is the Hughes battle, not
- 33:01Speaker 1: Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes, by the way, still out for
- 33:03Speaker 1: New Jersey. So you know, just pointing that out as well,
- 33:07Speaker 1: because I mean that's been the case for a while,
- 33:12Speaker 1: and we're playing against New Jersey today. But yeah, for
- 33:15Speaker 1: Minnesota versus Washington, Quinn Hughes, I think it's his name.
- 33:18Speaker 1: He was the big trade element there and these two
- 33:21Speaker 1: teams are fighting over him, and Minnesota got him, so
- 33:24Speaker 1: I think this will be a bigger game for Washington
- 33:27Speaker 1: to show up and be like, well, we don't need him,
- 33:28Speaker 1: We're gonna beat you anyway. But I still think it
- 33:31Speaker 1: is maybe a look ahead spot from Minnesota here because
- 33:34Speaker 1: that is going to be the Quinn Hughes battle man.
- 33:37Speaker 1: So we'll see. He might be in the lineup tonight
- 33:40Speaker 1: from Minnesota against Boston. I don't know, but Minnesota played yesterday.
- 33:43Speaker 1: I assume he wasn't there. Yesterday they won against Ottawa,
- 33:47Speaker 1: so sorry, Sab, Sab lost the game in Ottaway yesterday.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I think I picked right out of all the hockey
- 33:54Speaker 1: games yesterday, my favorite was winnip Bag yesterday. It's the
- 33:57Speaker 1: only one I went with and we got that one right,
- 33:59Speaker 1: So I'm glad about that at least. Overall, Yes, I
- 34:03Speaker 1: lean to the Bruins in this game more rest I
- 34:06Speaker 1: think the spot's a little bit better for them. The
- 34:08Speaker 1: money seems to agree Minnesota is down for minus one
- 34:11Speaker 1: forty eight to minus one thirty five, fifty six percent
- 34:14Speaker 1: of the tickets on them, sixty six percent of the cash
- 34:16Speaker 1: on the Bruins. I don't love it though, so it's
- 34:20Speaker 1: a stay away again for me. Edmonton is at Montreal.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Edmonton's starting to play better again here. Uh. They actually
- 34:28Speaker 1: use their new goalie last night. Jari was in net
- 34:31Speaker 1: for them last night, so it will be Pickered tonight
- 34:35Speaker 1: in net for them against Montreal. Uh, they're on the
- 34:38Speaker 1: back to back. Edmonton is. They're playing a third game
- 34:40Speaker 1: in four d's, all in different cities, so it's not
- 34:43Speaker 1: exactly the easiest spot, coming off beating Detroit and Toronto
- 34:47Speaker 1: each by three goals. They're gonna be focused on Montreal though.
- 34:51Speaker 1: I mean Montreal they're playing fairly well this year, and
- 34:54Speaker 1: you're usually you're gonna focus on Montreal, especially if you're
- 34:56Speaker 1: another Canadian team. Montreal is, you know, Original six, they're
- 35:01Speaker 1: considered to be one of the the Ogs. But Montreal
- 35:04Speaker 1: is also on a back to back. They were also
- 35:06Speaker 1: playing a third game in four days, all in different cities.
- 35:09Speaker 1: They just lost in Madison Square Garden in overtime last night,
- 35:13Speaker 1: so the Rangers actually won a game at home, and
- 35:14Speaker 1: I actually said that I leaned that way yesterday. So
- 35:19Speaker 1: Montreal coming off a tough game that went into overtime,
- 35:21Speaker 1: and their travel spot is actually worse than Edmonton's here,
- 35:24Speaker 1: I think because they're coming back up from New York,
- 35:26Speaker 1: Edmonton's coming in from Toronto. I actually don't know which
- 35:28Speaker 1: one of those is less travel I actually don't know.
- 35:31Speaker 1: It's fairly similar, I guess. But Montreal's technically returning home
- 35:35Speaker 1: from a road trip, although they were only on the
- 35:37Speaker 1: road Thursday Saturday, so it was only a quick trip.
- 35:41Speaker 1: I think they will be focused still on Edmonton here.
- 35:44Speaker 1: So what do we do with this game? I mean, overall,
- 35:49Speaker 1: I do think Edmonton is the way that I would
- 35:51Speaker 1: lean here. They're up from minus one twenty to minus
- 35:52Speaker 1: one twenty five. The money seems to agree, even though
- 35:55Speaker 1: they're public seventy percent of the tickets eighty six percent
- 35:58Speaker 1: of the cash on them. Now, it's just trying to
- 36:02Speaker 1: look at the money here. The money still doesn't agree
- 36:03Speaker 1: with this Vancouver play, by the way, but whatever, But yeah,
- 36:08Speaker 1: I probably lean to lean to Edmonton, excuse me, in
- 36:11Speaker 1: that game, but not a strong opinion. And then we
- 36:13Speaker 1: have Buffalo and Seattle, and you want to see what
- 36:16Speaker 1: the odds makers think of Seattle. They're so bad that
- 36:19Speaker 1: Buffalo is a road favorite against Seattle. So that's that's
- 36:23Speaker 1: what the odds makers think of Seattle, even though they
- 36:26Speaker 1: have a winning record if you don't count the overtime losses,
- 36:29Speaker 1: and Buffalo has a losing record. Buffalo is coming into
- 36:33Speaker 1: this game off of that win over Vancouver, which is
- 36:35Speaker 1: a misleading win. Like I pointed out, they might come
- 36:39Speaker 1: more focused in this game against Seattle. They're finishing a
- 36:42Speaker 1: road trip here. They have had two days off, so
- 36:44Speaker 1: they should be a little bit less tired than maybe
- 36:47Speaker 1: they would be otherwise to finish a road trip because
- 36:49Speaker 1: they have that extra days off here, two days off.
- 36:53Speaker 1: I think Seattle has only had one day off and
- 36:56Speaker 1: they're traveling back from Utah, so I think the spot
- 36:58Speaker 1: is actually worse for And they do play Colorado next
- 37:02Speaker 1: at home, so uh yeah, I think the spot is
- 37:06Speaker 1: better for Buffalo. So I don't disagree with Buffalo in
- 37:08Speaker 1: this one, and the money seems to agree. Ninety one
- 37:11Speaker 1: percent of the tickets are on Buffalo. They're up for
- 37:13Speaker 1: minus one to fifteen to minus one sixteen fifty seven percent,
- 37:17Speaker 1: excuse me, fifty percent of tickets on Seattle, ninety one
- 37:20Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Buffalo. Excuse me. All right, NBA,
- 37:27Speaker 1: and then I'll do the final NFL market read here.
- 37:30Speaker 1: I do have one NBA play and we have some
- 37:33Speaker 1: games in the NBA today, Washington and Indiana. My read
- 37:37Speaker 1: on this is that probably the move is to fade Washington.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Washington's coming of a close call against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Man, Washington,
- 37:46Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna get like just boat raced
- 37:49Speaker 1: in that game. I thought Cleveland was gonna show up.
- 37:51Speaker 1: But I was wrong. Washington had chances to win that game. Man.
- 37:54Speaker 1: They're winning that game by a decent margin in the
- 37:56Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and of course they blew it because Washington,
- 38:00Speaker 1: but that that's a difficult game for them to come
- 38:02Speaker 1: off of. Man, I know they're starting a road trip,
- 38:05Speaker 1: and usually when you start a road trip your focused,
- 38:07Speaker 1: but I don't. I just don't really see it here. Man.
- 38:10Speaker 1: It's a bad Indiana team as well. They got San
- 38:12Speaker 1: Antonio next, who's obviously playing better. So I think Indiana
- 38:17Speaker 1: is the way to look in this game. Though, You're
- 38:18Speaker 1: gonna have to actually lay a lot of points with
- 38:20Speaker 1: them Indiana. They're coming up a pretty difficult game as well,
- 38:24Speaker 1: though they had some chances at Philadelphia. That was a
- 38:27Speaker 1: pretty big game for them and they lost. And they
- 38:29Speaker 1: do have the Knicks next, So I do worry about
- 38:32Speaker 1: this maybe being a little bit of a look ahead.
- 38:34Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna get there with this one and
- 38:36Speaker 1: lay the points. But if I was gonna do it,
- 38:38Speaker 1: that is what I would do. And hilariously, the Wizards
- 38:42Speaker 1: are a public side here. Ninety one percent of the tickets,
- 38:45Speaker 1: only seventy nine percent of the cash. The Wizards are
- 38:47Speaker 1: a public underdog. I think the public is basically like,
- 38:51Speaker 1: there's no way I'm gonna lay ten points with a
- 38:54Speaker 1: team like the Basers, who or whatever they are six
- 38:57Speaker 1: and fifteen or whatever. The public's not gonna do that.
- 39:00Speaker 1: But that is what I would do in this game.
- 39:01Speaker 1: They're rough from nine and a half to ten. There's
- 39:03Speaker 1: a reason why they're favored by that much. Man, the
- 39:05Speaker 1: Pacers are not really as bad as their start would
- 39:08Speaker 1: lead you to believe. Of course, there's still without Haliburton,
- 39:11Speaker 1: but they are pretty healthy otherwise now. And the Wizards
- 39:15Speaker 1: really really suck so and they're in a bad spot
- 39:18Speaker 1: so I think Indiana is the way to lean in
- 39:20Speaker 1: that one. Charlotte is at Cleveland. These teams are actually
- 39:24Speaker 1: in similar spots, which is interesting. Charlotte or No, that's
- 39:29Speaker 1: not what I was thinking. I was thinking of the
- 39:30Speaker 1: other side of this, the Chicago game, my mistake. I'll
- 39:33Speaker 1: talk about the Chicago game in a minute. Charlotte is
- 39:36Speaker 1: coming off losing close to Chicago, so that was a
- 39:40Speaker 1: tough game for Charlotte. I mean, a step up game
- 39:43Speaker 1: for them. This is gonna be another one though, So
- 39:46Speaker 1: I don't think they're really gonna be unfocused or anything
- 39:48Speaker 1: going to face Cleveland. But I do think you're gonna
- 39:50Speaker 1: get focused out of Cleveland here. Because they didn't play
- 39:53Speaker 1: well in their last game against Washington. Maybe you could
- 39:57Speaker 1: consider Golden State to have been a tough game. I
- 39:59Speaker 1: guess they had a lot of rest, but I guess
- 40:01Speaker 1: they just came into Washington cole just didn't focus on it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Now they do have Chicago up next, with Chicago's been
- 40:07Speaker 1: playing pretty bad, so I kind of expect a more
- 40:10Speaker 1: focus step for it out of Cleveland here in this one.
- 40:12Speaker 1: So I probably would lay it with Cleveland if I
- 40:15Speaker 1: was gonna play this up from ten and a half
- 40:17Speaker 1: to eleven. Cleveland a pretty big favorite here, but not
- 40:20Speaker 1: I mean, I actually think it's kind of a reasonable number.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I actually think Cleveland is better than the record looks
- 40:26Speaker 1: right now. They've had some injuries and guys in and
- 40:29Speaker 1: out of the lineup. Ninety six percent tickets, ninety nine
- 40:32Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Calves. Although the Calves,
- 40:36Speaker 1: by the way, after last season, their coach like explicitly said,
- 40:40Speaker 1: we focused too hard on the regular season last year
- 40:42Speaker 1: and then we got injured in the playoffs. We need
- 40:45Speaker 1: to like not focus as hard on the regular season,
- 40:48Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and then focus. So that is seemingly
- 40:52Speaker 1: what Cleveland is trying to do now. Sixers are at
- 40:55Speaker 1: the Hawks, Philly at Atlanta. This is one where we
- 40:59Speaker 1: lost on Philadelphia against Atlanta not that long ago, in
- 41:02Speaker 1: a game that Philly had chances to win the game
- 41:04Speaker 1: and they lost in double overtime. They're probably gonna remember that.
- 41:08Speaker 1: They're coming off kind of a questionable performance against Indiana,
- 41:13Speaker 1: although they did get the win by double digits. Now
- 41:15Speaker 1: they're starting a road trip. They play the Knicks next,
- 41:18Speaker 1: but it's not for five days, so I do expect
- 41:20Speaker 1: Philly to be focused in this one against the Hawks.
- 41:24Speaker 1: The Hawks coming into this game, I'm off of a
- 41:27Speaker 1: really ugly loss, though they lost one hundred and forty
- 41:30Speaker 1: two to one hundred and fifteen to Detroit. I know
- 41:32Speaker 1: Detroit's good, but no team wants to lose by margin
- 41:36Speaker 1: like that, So I think the Hawks are gonna show
- 41:38Speaker 1: up focused as well here. So in that case, I
- 41:41Speaker 1: think it does actually come down to which team is
- 41:44Speaker 1: the better team that is the Hawks. They're down from
- 41:47Speaker 1: five to four and a half. Sixty nine percent of
- 41:49Speaker 1: tickets seventy six percent of the cash on the Hawks,
- 41:51Speaker 1: so the money is indicating on the Hawks. I'm not
- 41:55Speaker 1: really gonna disagree with that. You have to see who's
- 41:57Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup for Philly as always,
- 42:00Speaker 1: embiid game time decision. He played in the last game,
- 42:03Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna play or not. Ubre is
- 42:05Speaker 1: still out, and then Maxie did not play in the
- 42:08Speaker 1: last game. So if he comes back, then that makes
- 42:12Speaker 1: me like at landa a little bit more. Actually, if
- 42:14Speaker 1: Maxie does come back, because after he misses a game,
- 42:17Speaker 1: he's their point guard and he has to get back
- 42:20Speaker 1: into it again. You know what I mean. It's the
- 42:22Speaker 1: guy who runs the offense after he's been out. Now
- 42:24Speaker 1: he comes back, it's gonna be kind of a chemistry
- 42:27Speaker 1: shift again. So if that's the case, I also kind
- 42:30Speaker 1: of lead to the Hawks. Next game up is my
- 42:32Speaker 1: actual play, and we are fading the market read in
- 42:35Speaker 1: this one, and I just don't care. We're gonna take
- 42:37Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets plus two against the Milwaukee Bucks. I
- 42:42Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in the market here, Like
- 42:44Speaker 1: you're really telling me eighty eight percent of the tickets
- 42:46Speaker 1: are on the nets. You're telling me the public is
- 42:49Speaker 1: on the nets. There's absolutely no way. There's no way
- 42:52Speaker 1: that the public is on the Brooklyn nets. Like, we
- 42:54Speaker 1: know how the public operates. Even if the Bucks aren't
- 42:57Speaker 1: playing well right now, although they did just beat the
- 42:59Speaker 1: celt there, which of course is gonna be a huge
- 43:02Speaker 1: piece of this handicap. Even if the Bucks are playing bad,
- 43:06Speaker 1: the public is still not gonna be on the nets.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Like if they look at this game, they would fade
- 43:10Speaker 1: the nets, you know what I mean. Like they're gonna
- 43:12Speaker 1: fade these absolute bottom dwellers, and I'm gonna find spots
- 43:16Speaker 1: where maybe I'm gonna play them, And this is one
- 43:18Speaker 1: of them. Eighty eight percent of the tickets on the nets.
- 43:21Speaker 1: I don't buy that number. Fifty two percent of the
- 43:23Speaker 1: cous on the bucks, not sure I buy it. We're
- 43:25Speaker 1: looking at one and a half two here for the
- 43:27Speaker 1: number getting Brooklyn is an underdog here. It also looks
- 43:32Speaker 1: way too easy, right, Like, again, what public vetter is
- 43:35Speaker 1: gonna look at this? Oh, it's basically a pick the
- 43:37Speaker 1: winner price. Oh, I'm gonna take Brooklyn who's six and
- 43:39Speaker 1: eighteen and they're two and ten at home. No, they're
- 43:42Speaker 1: not gonna do that. But Milwaukee, by the way, eleven
- 43:46Speaker 1: and fifteen and they're three and eight on the road.
- 43:48Speaker 1: So Milwaukee's not good on the road. They've lost six
- 43:51Speaker 1: games in a row on the road, as it says
- 43:53Speaker 1: right here, So Milwaukee has not been doing well on
- 43:56Speaker 1: the road. They're not doing well without Yiannis. He's not back,
- 43:59Speaker 1: And if he was, I'm back, I would probably still
- 44:01Speaker 1: fade Milwaukee and we'd be getting more value on Brooklyn.
- 44:05Speaker 1: It would be a reverse injured player spot. But you
- 44:07Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that in this one. Giannis
- 44:09Speaker 1: is not back Milwaukee. That was a big win for them, man.
- 44:15Speaker 1: I mean, I think Milwaukee realizes they're not going anywhere now.
- 44:18Speaker 1: But they just beat the Boston Celtics due and they
- 44:21Speaker 1: came back in that game. The Celtics were beating them
- 44:23Speaker 1: by double digits. But remember when I said, because I
- 44:25Speaker 1: gave the Bucks out as a play on the show,
- 44:27Speaker 1: we played the Bucks. They got the outright win by
- 44:30Speaker 1: fifteen points. They were losing the game at halftime, but
- 44:33Speaker 1: I said, the Celtics take their foot off the gas. Man.
- 44:36Speaker 1: That's just I don't know why they do it, but
- 44:38Speaker 1: they always do it. They get complacent, they take their
- 44:41Speaker 1: foot off the gas and they let teams get back
- 44:43Speaker 1: into the game. And not only did they do that,
- 44:46Speaker 1: but they lost to Milwaukee, like Milwaukee had completely swung
- 44:50Speaker 1: the game by the time it was the fourth quarter.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Huge win for Milwaukee, though. I mean, the Celtics are
- 44:55Speaker 1: still the Celtics. They're pretty good. And Milwaukee played Detroit
- 44:59Speaker 1: and Philadelphia in the prior games as well. Three games
- 45:03Speaker 1: in a row. They played Detroit, Philadelphia, Detroit. Now they
- 45:05Speaker 1: get this Brooklyn game. I think it's an absolute flat
- 45:08Speaker 1: spot here. It's a single game road trip, which is
- 45:11Speaker 1: also weird. And up next they got Toronto and then
- 45:14Speaker 1: they got Minnesota, and those are both bigger games too,
- 45:17Speaker 1: So I think it's an absolute flat spot as far
- 45:20Speaker 1: as Brooklyn is concerned. They're coming back home, but it's
- 45:23Speaker 1: only from a single game on the road at Dallas.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna cover against Dallas, and they
- 45:28Speaker 1: only missed by like a half point. They played alright
- 45:31Speaker 1: in the game, but prior to that they had a
- 45:32Speaker 1: ton of rest. So we're not really looking at, you know,
- 45:35Speaker 1: a tired Brooklyn team or anything like that. It was
- 45:38Speaker 1: only a single game on the road. Now they're back
- 45:39Speaker 1: at home. I think they'll show up with the Bucks
- 45:42Speaker 1: coming to talent. Man. When you're a team like Brooklyn,
- 45:45Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's too early, Like these teams
- 45:48Speaker 1: are not tanking mid season, you know what I mean
- 45:50Speaker 1: that you're still trying to figure things out and trying
- 45:52Speaker 1: to win some games here. So we're gonna be on
- 45:54Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. That's the only NBA player I have here. Yeah,
- 45:59Speaker 1: the New Jersey, that's correct. Yeah, I guess I don't know.
- 46:05Speaker 1: They just wanted to be like a New York team,
- 46:08Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So they moved in there.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Devils still haven't done that because the Devils won't do it,
- 46:14Speaker 1: because the Islanders are there. Basically, the Nets are basically
- 46:18Speaker 1: the Islanders of the NBA. Okay, we have a Sacramento
- 46:24Speaker 1: at Minnesota. Minnesota's coming up a pretty nice win over
- 46:27Speaker 1: Golden State. Man, Minnesota finally got another win against a
- 46:30Speaker 1: winning team, although Golden State after that loss is no
- 46:33Speaker 1: longer a winning team, so hilarious, I guess, but a
- 46:38Speaker 1: big win Golden State. I said that I thought Minnesota
- 46:42Speaker 1: would win that game because it was a reverse injured
- 46:44Speaker 1: player spot for Golden State with Curry coming back after
- 46:47Speaker 1: a decently long absence. So I didn't like Golden State
- 46:52Speaker 1: in that one. Even though Golden State was looking for
- 46:54Speaker 1: playoff revenge, didn't matter. Minnesota got the win, pretty big
- 46:58Speaker 1: win for them, and now they faced the sack Meto team,
- 47:01Speaker 1: which I assume they're still without Sabonis. Now, I don't
- 47:05Speaker 1: think Minnesota is really gonna show up for this one,
- 47:07Speaker 1: but they did lose at Sacramento in overtime last time
- 47:11Speaker 1: they played them, so maybe there is some element of
- 47:14Speaker 1: maybe they will show up here. As far as the
- 47:18Speaker 1: Kings are concerned, Yeah, Sabonis looks like he's coming back soon,
- 47:21Speaker 1: but he's not gonna be playing in this game, so
- 47:23Speaker 1: they're still without their best player. For Sacramento, they'll be focused,
- 47:31Speaker 1: I assume, you know. I mean they're playing against the
- 47:33Speaker 1: Minnesota team. It's a pretty good team, Sacramento. They're gonna
- 47:37Speaker 1: get up for games like this. I think they're coming
- 47:39Speaker 1: up playing Denver. But it was not a close game
- 47:41Speaker 1: at all, losing by thirty one, and now they're starting
- 47:44Speaker 1: another road trip. Usually, again, you are focused to start
- 47:46Speaker 1: a road trip, especially if you're leaving home after a
- 47:49Speaker 1: pretty ugly loss. So I would lean towards taking the
- 47:52Speaker 1: points with the Kings in this game. You're getting twelve
- 47:55Speaker 1: and a half up from eleven and a half, so
- 47:59Speaker 1: that is yeah, I don't know, that's the way that
- 48:02Speaker 1: I look at that one. Curry made a shot from
- 48:06Speaker 1: the tunnel? Are you sure you're not just talking about
- 48:08Speaker 1: that video that's been out there for like, I don't know,
- 48:11Speaker 1: like over a year. There's a video of him doing
- 48:14Speaker 1: it that's probably from like last year or maybe even
- 48:16Speaker 1: earlier than that. I don't know. I've seen that video
- 48:19Speaker 1: and I don't even know if it's real. Actually it
- 48:22Speaker 1: might be AI, I don't know, but that video has
- 48:24Speaker 1: been around for a while. All Right, what's the next
- 48:29Speaker 1: game New Orleans at Chicago. Oh my god, New Orleans
- 48:31Speaker 1: at Chicago. This is the game that I was talking about.
- 48:34Speaker 1: That's a similar situational spot for both teams, because both
- 48:38Speaker 1: teams just broke a long lost streak with a win.
- 48:41Speaker 1: New Orleans just smacked Portland by twenty three. But I
- 48:45Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna make them over com I mean,
- 48:47Speaker 1: how can you be overconfident when you're four and twenty two.
- 48:50Speaker 1: But I think that's good for New Orleans because that
- 48:52Speaker 1: breaks a long losing streak. I think they will be
- 48:55Speaker 1: focused on a game here against Chicago. I think they'll
- 48:57Speaker 1: be focused on basically anybody at this point. I guess
- 49:01Speaker 1: potentially they'd be looking ahead to Houston, but I just
- 49:04Speaker 1: don't really think so. I think they will show up here. Now.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Chicago did also break a long lost streak. Chicago had
- 49:11Speaker 1: been above five hundred all season pretty much, and then
- 49:13Speaker 1: they lost a bunch of games in a row, including
- 49:16Speaker 1: by the way losing at New Orleans though, so this
- 49:18Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a quick revenge spot
- 49:21Speaker 1: for Chicago because they lost at New Orleans as part
- 49:24Speaker 1: of that losing streaking. This is a very ugly losing
- 49:26Speaker 1: streak for Chicago. Man, I mean, they didn't play very
- 49:30Speaker 1: good teams in that lost streak for the most part,
- 49:33Speaker 1: so Chicago has been falling apart. But they did just
- 49:36Speaker 1: win at Charlotte to break the lost streak, and Charlotte
- 49:39Speaker 1: was one of the teams they actually lost to during
- 49:41Speaker 1: the road trip, so that's good. That should break their
- 49:44Speaker 1: losing momentum. Yes, they're playing New Orleans, who also did
- 49:47Speaker 1: beat them during that during that lost streak and during
- 49:51Speaker 1: that same road trip. But Chicago plays Cleveland twice next,
- 49:55Speaker 1: and then Atlanta twice, then Philly, the Milwaukee and the Minnesota,
- 49:59Speaker 1: so they have all been bigger games up next. So
- 50:01Speaker 1: I do worry about like a look ahead component for
- 50:03Speaker 1: the Bulls here. I think Pelicans plus the points is
- 50:07Speaker 1: probably the lean in this one. Ninety five percent of
- 50:10Speaker 1: the tickets, ninety percent of the cash on the Bulls.
- 50:12Speaker 1: They're down from six to five, So yeah, I would
- 50:15Speaker 1: lean towards the Pelicans in that one. Yeah. I don't
- 50:18Speaker 1: know if it was fake. He can probably make that shot,
- 50:21Speaker 1: but it's at least old though. Yeah, Like I remember
- 50:24Speaker 1: seeing that like last year, and I'm not sure if
- 50:28Speaker 1: it was from last year or before that Lakers are
- 50:31Speaker 1: at Phoenix. Now. I think the Lakers are going to
- 50:34Speaker 1: show up for this because the Lakers, I believe they
- 50:39Speaker 1: got knocked out of the NBA Cup by Phoenix. I'm
- 50:42Speaker 1: pretty sure, right, and it was at home. Actually maybe
- 50:44Speaker 1: this wasn't the cop. I don't know, but the last
- 50:46Speaker 1: time they played Phoenix they lost ugly man, which Luca
- 50:51Speaker 1: played in that game too, so and I don't know
- 50:52Speaker 1: if Lebron did, but Luca is the more important player
- 50:56Speaker 1: right now than Lebron. Okay, Lebron's just too old. But
- 50:59Speaker 1: the Lakers are coming like they had an ugly loss
- 51:02Speaker 1: at home to Phoenix Man one hundred and twenty five
- 51:05Speaker 1: to one hundred and eight, So I think they're gonna
- 51:06Speaker 1: remember that and they're probably gonna bring it in this one.
- 51:09Speaker 1: Oh excuse me, the Lakers got knocked out of the Cup.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Yeah here by San Antonio. That's right. So the Lakers
- 51:15Speaker 1: did get eliminated from the Cup. But I don't think
- 51:17Speaker 1: they really care about that because they're trying to win
- 51:19Speaker 1: the championship here. Like I said, there are certain teams
- 51:22Speaker 1: that are just gonna want the Cup more. And I
- 51:25Speaker 1: thought the Thunder once they got to the semi finals,
- 51:27Speaker 1: and I thought they would just just try to finish
- 51:29Speaker 1: it off. But I was kind of wrong about that.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Thunder had a really bad shooting game last night though,
- 51:34Speaker 1: so there was that they were never really I thought
- 51:38Speaker 1: they were gonna redeem themselves in the second half and
- 51:40Speaker 1: they didn't do it. I thought like a money line
- 51:43Speaker 1: play when they were losing that game. I thought money
- 51:44Speaker 1: line on OKC was probably a good move in that one.
- 51:48Speaker 1: You're getting them as like a smaller favorite, and that
- 51:50Speaker 1: still didn't happen. Good thing. I'm not alive better, really,
- 51:54Speaker 1: I'm a dad better. But yes, LA, I think they
- 51:57Speaker 1: will show up because Phoenix beat them pretty badly in LA,
- 52:02Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I do think they're
- 52:03Speaker 1: gonna focus on this game. It's the start of a
- 52:06Speaker 1: road trip for them. They've had some days off after
- 52:08Speaker 1: getting knocked out of the Cup, which I just don't
- 52:10Speaker 1: think they care that much about that game, you know.
- 52:12Speaker 1: I think it's a bounce back spot for them. So
- 52:14Speaker 1: I think the Lakers are the right side here. Phoenix
- 52:18Speaker 1: also just got knocked out of the Cup in the
- 52:20Speaker 1: semi quarterfinals, I think by okay C. So yeah, both
- 52:24Speaker 1: of these teams got knocked out in the same round
- 52:27Speaker 1: LA and Phoenix did. Phoenix did get blown out, but
- 52:30Speaker 1: they're actually technically start returning from a road trip here.
- 52:34Speaker 1: And you know I talk about this when a team
- 52:35Speaker 1: returns over a road trip, which by the way, Phoenix
- 52:39Speaker 1: started with that win over LA, a lot of times
- 52:41Speaker 1: they won't be focused and they'll have to get back
- 52:44Speaker 1: to family life. You know, they'll have stuff to do. Yes,
- 52:46Speaker 1: they have extra days off, but sometimes that makes you
- 52:49Speaker 1: more settled in at home. The problem I have with
- 52:51Speaker 1: this is that it's the Lakers, So I don't really
- 52:53Speaker 1: think Phoenix is gonna overlook the Lakers, you know what
- 52:56Speaker 1: I mean. Like I usually like the return home distraction angle.
- 53:00Speaker 1: I still lean to the Lakers here, but it's not
- 53:02Speaker 1: gonna make my card because I do think Phoenix might
- 53:05Speaker 1: still show up because it is the LA Lakers. The
- 53:09Speaker 1: market read is all over the Suns here. Lakers are
- 53:12Speaker 1: down from three and I have to one here. Seventy
- 53:14Speaker 1: two percent of tickets on them, seventy six percent of
- 53:16Speaker 1: cash on the Suns, So the money is coming in
- 53:19Speaker 1: on the Phoenix side. I don't agree with it, though
- 53:21Speaker 1: I would it would be Lakers or Pass for me.
- 53:24Speaker 1: In that game, so it's kind of an interesting one.
- 53:28Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea who that guy
- 53:30Speaker 1: was last night. You guys can go after him if
- 53:33Speaker 1: you want his Uh. His dms are closed on Twitter though,
- 53:37Speaker 1: ex Comba or whatever his name is. Yeah, he's ex
- 53:42Speaker 1: Comba on Twitter and x comber zero on YouTube or whatever.
- 53:45Speaker 1: He has no content. Who even knows of that. He's
- 53:47Speaker 1: a complete loser. No one knows who that guy is.
- 53:50Speaker 1: His Twitter like looked like it had no activity for
- 53:53Speaker 1: like years, and he almost looks like a bosch on Twitter.
- 53:56Speaker 1: So I don't know, but his dms are closed, stacks.
- 54:00Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Thanks for hanging out again, all right?
- 54:04Speaker 1: And then we do have the final NBA game. Here
- 54:06Speaker 1: is the Warriors at the Blazers Golden State at Portland
- 54:11Speaker 1: Golden State, sitting at five hundred again. Now this is
- 54:13Speaker 1: gonna be their second game with Curry back. Man. So
- 54:16Speaker 1: I talk about this. When the first game that your
- 54:19Speaker 1: start player comes back, a lot of times you won't
- 54:21Speaker 1: really coalesce and have the chemistry again. But in the
- 54:24Speaker 1: second game back, usually you got that game out of
- 54:27Speaker 1: the way and now you're gonna play better, you know
- 54:29Speaker 1: what I mean? And Curry did play well in the game.
- 54:31Speaker 1: He had thirty nine points. It was just that I
- 54:33Speaker 1: think they didn't really play particularly well as a team.
- 54:36Speaker 1: I think they'll put in a better effort this time,
- 54:39Speaker 1: so I don't mind Golden State in this game. However,
- 54:42Speaker 1: that was a big loss to Minnesota that Like I said,
- 54:45Speaker 1: Golden State had that game circle because Minnesota eliminated them
- 54:48Speaker 1: from the playoffs last year. That's the first time they
- 54:50Speaker 1: played Minnesota this year. So I worry about this being
- 54:54Speaker 1: maybe a hangover spot here. Although they're starting a road trip,
- 54:58Speaker 1: usually that's a focus second game injured players back, that's
- 55:03Speaker 1: usually a better spot as well. For Portland, they're turning
- 55:07Speaker 1: home from a long road trip, so that is a
- 55:08Speaker 1: bad spot for that reason. They've been on the road
- 55:12Speaker 1: since Tuesday, December. Second, that's crazy, dude, they had a
- 55:17Speaker 1: really bad road trip. But I think teams they don't
- 55:21Speaker 1: just bounce back right away from road trips. Man. That's
- 55:23Speaker 1: just the thing. Like a lot of times they get
- 55:24Speaker 1: distracted when they return home from a road trip. They
- 55:27Speaker 1: got stuff to do at home. Yeah, they've had a
- 55:29Speaker 1: couple of days off. Yeah, they're coming off a real
- 55:31Speaker 1: ugly loss to the New Orleans Pelicans almost an inexcusable loss,
- 55:36Speaker 1: although I think I did lean to the Pelicans in
- 55:38Speaker 1: that game. I mean, the question is that they're gonna
- 55:42Speaker 1: overlook Golden State. I don't think so. I mean, they
- 55:45Speaker 1: have Sacramento next. That's not a bigger game. Two in
- 55:48Speaker 1: a row against Sacramento. I mean, Golden State is steph curzy.
- 55:51Speaker 1: You gotta think they will show up. Although for Golden State.
- 55:54Speaker 1: By the way, Portland won at Golden State on November
- 55:58Speaker 1: twenty first, so maybe Golden State kind of remembers that
- 56:01Speaker 1: and they're gonna change some things up, you know what
- 56:04Speaker 1: I mean, Because that was a pretty ugly loss for
- 56:07Speaker 1: Golden State to lose at home to Portland. So there's
- 56:10Speaker 1: a lot going on in this game, which is why
- 56:11Speaker 1: I'm not playing it. The market read is saying to
- 56:14Speaker 1: take the points with the Trailblazers ninety two percent of tickets,
- 56:18Speaker 1: eighty percent of the cash on the Warriors up from
- 56:20Speaker 1: four and a half to five. I mean, I probably
- 56:23Speaker 1: wouldn't want to lay the points with Golden State on
- 56:25Speaker 1: the road like this, but I think there are more
- 56:29Speaker 1: positives for the Warriors here, man. I mean, I find
- 56:31Speaker 1: it hard to not lean to the Warriors in this one,
- 56:34Speaker 1: especially with the Blazers returning from a road trip. Bad
- 56:37Speaker 1: teams returning home from road trips are usually it's a
- 56:41Speaker 1: little bit worse for them, and like a lot of times,
- 56:44Speaker 1: you do want to play against them when they're an underdog.
- 56:47Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I kind of want to
- 56:49Speaker 1: buck that market read and lean towards the Warriors, But
- 56:51Speaker 1: I don't have a strong opinion on it. All right, brunch,
- 56:57Speaker 1: bagels and locks hell though, No, we got none of that. No,
- 57:03Speaker 1: my family is American, man, We're we're not Jewish. Both
- 57:08Speaker 1: of my parents are different versions of Christianity. My mom's Italian.
- 57:14Speaker 1: She grew up Catholic, but then she switched over to
- 57:17Speaker 1: a Protestant Congregational, which is what my father's side is.
- 57:21Speaker 1: They're Swedish, so that's that's what we are. But no,
- 57:25Speaker 1: it was like it was meat and eggs, baby, it was.
- 57:29Speaker 1: It was a classic classic brunch. It was it was
- 57:33Speaker 1: just me with my mom. Though, like I'm there were
- 57:35Speaker 1: a bunch of people at my family's all, you know,
- 57:38Speaker 1: around for the for the holidays and whatever. So there
- 57:40Speaker 1: are a bunch of people there at home. But yeah,
- 57:43Speaker 1: brunch was like it was just me with my mom though,
- 57:46Speaker 1: hanging out at my parents' house. All right, yeah, I'm
- 57:52Speaker 1: a mama's boy. Oh man, but that that makes me
- 57:55Speaker 1: sound more Jewish. Actually. If that's the case, all right,
- 57:58Speaker 1: that's gonna do it, man, And we'll look at the
- 58:01Speaker 1: final market read here, I guess for the Yeah, let's
- 58:04Speaker 1: do that first. Then I'll give up my plays one
- 58:06Speaker 1: more time. The market red looks like it's still against
- 58:08Speaker 1: some of my plays. Man. It's slightly indicating on the
- 58:11Speaker 1: Texans right now. But of course I have a play
- 58:13Speaker 1: on the Cardinals, so obviously I'm sticking with the Cardinals
- 58:16Speaker 1: plus the points. There. Market looks like it does agree
- 58:19Speaker 1: with the Raiders. Uh, so I do agree with that.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Market is still not agreeing with me on the Jets.
- 58:26Speaker 1: I like the Jets plus the points, but I mean
- 58:29Speaker 1: the Jags are public. The line value is there for
- 58:32Speaker 1: the Jets. So that's the way I'm gonna continue to lean.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Marger Reed is still slightly indicating against the Browns play
- 58:38Speaker 1: that I have, but I still like it obviously. So
- 58:41Speaker 1: and again, you're looking at percentages that are really close,
- 58:44Speaker 1: like when you see a team that's around eighty percent
- 58:47Speaker 1: of the tickets, and the cash is just slightly more
- 58:49Speaker 1: on them. In the NFL, I think you still kind
- 58:51Speaker 1: of want to fade them. I mean, they're it's not
- 58:54Speaker 1: that much of a disparity, you know what I mean,
- 58:55Speaker 1: there's still the public side. We'll see what these lines
- 58:57Speaker 1: look like in three hours, because I think I'm gonna
- 59:00Speaker 1: wind up being right on most of these. You know,
- 59:02Speaker 1: it looks like late money is coming in on the bills,
- 59:04Speaker 1: which is one of my other plays. So I like
- 59:06Speaker 1: that if you like the Bills, you gotta get it
- 59:08Speaker 1: in on that one man, like, do not let that
- 59:10Speaker 1: thing hit three, because I had said that. I think
- 59:13Speaker 1: the appropriate line in that game, in my opinion, was
- 59:15Speaker 1: Bill's minus three. So it's at two now one. I
- 59:18Speaker 1: gave it out at one last night. It's one, one
- 59:21Speaker 1: and a half two. Make sure you lay less than
- 59:24Speaker 1: three if you like the bills, man, or play it
- 59:28Speaker 1: on money line or something like that. The money is
- 59:31Speaker 1: not indicating on the Ravens really yet, although it's still
- 59:33Speaker 1: kind of only a slight disparity there. I like the Ravens,
- 59:37Speaker 1: as I already pointed out. I think they're an anti
- 59:38Speaker 1: public road favorite there market indicators do look like they're
- 59:43Speaker 1: on the Chiefs as an anti public play, hilariously, So
- 59:46Speaker 1: I do still need to the Chiefs. Money is somewhat
- 59:51Speaker 1: indicating on the Giants here a little bit, but again,
- 59:53Speaker 1: don't be fooled by this move the favorite flip, because
- 59:57Speaker 1: that had to do with the quarterback situation. Because the
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: annuals has heard again. So I still lean to Washington
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: in that game plus the points and the Giants. I mean,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: that's not much of a cash disparity there. I also
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: still lean to the Colts plus the points. I mean,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: there's just obviously there's no line value laying two touchdowns
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: with the Seahawks. Man, So yeah, that's my read on
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: that one. The market is indicating on the Packers, which
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: I still agree with there, and then let's see market
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: is still agreeing with taking the points of the Saints.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: I agree with that. The market is really indicating on
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: the Rams still, so I might have to change my
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: opinion on that one because that was one of my
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: weakest opinions. I kind of lean to the Lions, but
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: I'm the market is really strongly indicating on the Rams though. Man,
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: that is a significant disparity. Fifty three percent of tickets
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: seventy two percent of the cash, so I might have
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: to change that one. I still lean to the Titans,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: plus the points against the forty nine ers. Forty nine
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: ers are just extremely public in that one, and I
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: still do like the Cowboys in the night game, though,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: I mean that's a situation we're again. I think there's
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: line value again, don't be fooled by that line move
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: because the seven and a half was the look ahead.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: I think, yeah, even though the Cowboys will be public,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: I'm going against myself on what I said on this one.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Like the cash disparity on this one. This one might
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: change more because it's the night game as well. Even
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: though yes, I think the public are gonna be on
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but I think it's public professional agreement on
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that game. Man, I would only play
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that one. And then you know, we'll
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: see what happens with tomorrow's game on Monday night, although
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: as you know, I lean somewhat to the Dolphins in
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: that game, but we'll see. I worry about Tua in
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: freezing temperatures. By the way, Oh and by the way,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: it is snowing here in New England. So you get
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: a snow game in Bill's Patriots. But I'd said, I
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: think that's actually better for Josh Allen. I mean Buffalo.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: There's no more of a snow team than Buffalo. I mean,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: come on, man, They're not gonna be intimidated by snow.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: They literally played in snow last week, like I said.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: And I think Drake may might be more affected negatively
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: by it because he played at North Carolina. I think
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: he's not as used to playing in the snow man.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely like the Bills in that one. All right,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: and then that's gonna do it for that. Let's go
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: with my plays one more time here before I get
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: out of here. The plays today are Arizona plus ten
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: in NFL, or you might be able to get ten
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: and a half. Ten and a half is better than ten,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: So try to get the hook Cleveland plus seven and
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: a half with the Bears in the packer cheese sandwich. Baby,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: it is a cheese sandwich. I don't want to say
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: it's a grilled cheese, but maybe. I mean those are
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: those are tasty. It's a pretty tasty sandwich. So we
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: got Cleveland plus the seven and a half and we
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: got Buffalo. I gave it out of minus one last night.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: So sometimes it does pay to watch my show because
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I get some of these numbers out there before they move.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: I would still lay the two with Buffalo too, though.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: I mean there's not much of a difference between one
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and two, so hopefully you can still get there with it.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Hopefully they hopefully they win by a field goal and
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: everybody is happy with that one or more than a
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: field goal. And then Hockey Vancouver Canucks, money line, NBA
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: Brooklyn plus the points. Those are the plays today. Let's
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: have a good Sunday, everybody the Giants Podcast today. I
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: have no idea. Uh, we're probably doing something. The problem
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: is like I'm gonna like I'm right up to the
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: like I'm doing like betting stuff and picks, like literally
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: right up up to the moment of game time. So
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: it's almost like I would have to like jump in
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: after he starts the show and jump in onto the
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: stream when the game starts, you know. So it's I
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how we're gonna do it.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: We still have to figure it out. I think it
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: will happen, though, and it's either gonna be live stream live,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: you know, calling of the game live watch party or
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: a post show. I don't know what we're gonna do
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: post game show. I mean, yeah, I don't really agree
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: with that. I mean, I don't know. I'm I'm not
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: I'm not a Catholic. I mean I was. I grew
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: up Protestant, you know, because my mom had switched to that.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: I don't know. The Catholicism thing. I mean, the Catholic
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Church is just completely subverted at this point and overtaken.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: So I'm a man of the small small town churches,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: you know what I mean, where it's more actually about
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: like legit Christianity. So that's where I stand on that.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: That's gonna do it, mister Pinsey, Thanks for hanging out.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out everybody. Hopefully we get some wins today.

- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Loser Cast, the comedy podcast that just started. We're already
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: seemingly increasing it to two days a week, although the
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: way that it stands right now with the scheduling, I
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: might only be on the Tuesday ones. So I don't know.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: This is Adam Nutter's fault, so blame him the fact.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Oh he just can't do the ten pm Tuesday spot
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Like all right, like what are you men? What are
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: you listening to? Your wife? Like? What's going on Adam
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: or your girlfriend? Whoever? Come on Adam? Alright, you guys
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: can yeah, make fun of Adam for that go ahead.
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: It's okay with me. So yeah, loser cast, you can
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: check that out. And then, as Jeffrey mentioned, you had
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: the g spot, the Giants podcast will be starting. It'll
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: either be a live watch party of the Great Redskins
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Giants game, which I do not have much of a
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: stock in today. As you can see, I will have
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: to pick the game because I pick every game on ESPN,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: but other than that, I will have no stock in
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: that game other than watching it. And then I slightly
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: root for the Giants because I like Jackson dars So
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: and I like Winston too, So we'll see what happens
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: with that. It will either be a live watch party
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: or we're gonna do like a post game podcast. We'll
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: see what happens. That's gonna do it. I appreciate it.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: I'll be back tomorrow. I'm thinking about like starting to
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: do bracketology episodes because I love March Madis. I'm just
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: obsessed with brackets. It's always been though, as you can
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: tell from Tower Game, where I kept wanting to do
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: bracket and only one of them was really that good.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: But I might start doing it. Man, I just talk bracketology.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: I do my own bracketology, like I've been posting it
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: in like a spreadsheet. I've been doing it for a while,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: like I should get like a website or something for it,
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: but I've been doing that, so the graphics aren't good.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: The visuals aren't good. It's just spreadsheet because it changes
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: so much that I can't just make a graphic for
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: it every time. You know, I'm not Joe Lunardi where
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: I have ESPN's graphic team behind me. So it is
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: what it is. But my bracketology predictions are usually as
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: good as theirs are, so him and Jerry Palm. That's
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: gonna do it for now, but I will be back
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: at some point. If I start doing bracketology shows, it'll
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: probably actually be on like Sunday nights, because that's kind
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: of the lull. Like I don't know when the rankings
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: get updated for basketball. I think it's Monday morning maybe,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: but like Saturday is a huge day, right, so after
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: Saturday it makes sense to make your bracket bracketology adjustments,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: you know. And we're getting into the time of the year,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: so maybe I'll start doing it after the holidays. We'll
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: figure it out. That's gonna do it for now, though,
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: but if you subscribe to the channel, you'll see when
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I go live next hopefully if the notifications are working,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. And yes, I've transitioned to doing
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: the college basketball Saturday shows on Friday night because it
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: worked out well this week. I mean, it's just such
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: a huge slate. I think it did me well to
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: just only focus on college basketball on Friday night. Get
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: it done, do the show. We had a good day
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: yesterday in it, so let's keep it going. We have
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: huge swings in college basketball though, man, because it's such
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: high volume. So like after last season, I was down
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: like like probably thirty units or something. I was probably
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: down across the last few years in college basketball just
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: because of earlier this year, like specifically March was unbelievably bad.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: But we've had such an upswing this season in college
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: basketball already then I'm already like back to being up
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: forty units over that entire svan in college basketball. So
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: hopefully I can continue it. Man, it's gonna do it
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: for now. Peace, guys. Thanks
