- 0:00Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself. We are on
- 0:05Speaker 1: OWN seven run over the last two days after tonight
- 0:08Speaker 1: it was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
- 0:11Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:14Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you about that. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:20Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing, two
- 0:24Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four
- 0:28Speaker 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 hat man, I don't know what is going on
- 0:43Speaker 1: with the bruins. Arch e is that what it is?
- 0:46Speaker 1: I don't even know it's March ninth. I think who
- 0:50Speaker 1: even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 0:52Speaker 1: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 0:55Speaker 1: back with you after the worst day that I could
- 0:58Speaker 1: possibly have, Back with you as I always am until
- 1:02Speaker 1: I die at least oh 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. Slumpy.
- 1:16Speaker 2: The slump, discontinuous slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
- 1:25Speaker 2: other than potentially end it all.
- 1:33Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you. Toad School
- 1:36Speaker 1: Sports Super Bowl Sunday, February eighth, yesterday, we did not
- 1:42Speaker 1: do well on the show. Two and three started out
- 1:46Speaker 1: nice with an easy Utah cover. It was exactly what
- 1:50Speaker 1: I thought Kansas not putting up a ton of offense,
- 1:53Speaker 1: win and non cover from Kansas basically the whole way.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I think it was a wire to wire cover for Utah.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Northwestern State played it just monstrously ugly, low scoring game,
- 2:04Speaker 1: and they wound up not being able to cover that.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You might have been able to get a two on
- 2:09Speaker 1: that instead of a one and a half, but they
- 2:10Speaker 1: lost by four. They didn't even get fifty points and
- 2:14Speaker 1: still only lost by four. That game was horrible, and
- 2:18Speaker 1: then Seattle absolutely blew it. I am absolutely not happy
- 2:22Speaker 1: about that at all. Seattle was winning that game by
- 2:25Speaker 1: margin throughout the middle of the game. It just it
- 2:27Speaker 1: wasn't a high scoring enough game. But they blew the game.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But I think they lost the game outright, and they
- 2:32Speaker 1: were winning the game, probably by double digits in the
- 2:34Speaker 1: middle of the game. I was like, all right, this
- 2:36Speaker 1: is going well. They were still winning by several points
- 2:39Speaker 1: pretty late in the game. Absolute implosion from Seattle, even
- 2:43Speaker 1: though they're known for having a good defense. I'm not happy.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And then we did have a Pacific was an easy win,
- 2:50Speaker 1: so one of the West Coast Conference games got there.
- 2:52Speaker 1: That was a laugher. Then the Atlanta Hawks also blew
- 2:56Speaker 1: it for me, So all three losses were close the Hawks.
- 3:02Speaker 1: The Hawks never had a huge like lead in the
- 3:05Speaker 1: game or anything like that, but they did lead for
- 3:07Speaker 1: various points in the game. The game was close down
- 3:10Speaker 1: the stretch. They definitely had chances to do it and
- 3:13Speaker 1: they did not. So, yeah, we're gonna move on from that.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I guess if things are rigged, I guess I shouldn't
- 3:20Speaker 1: have had the Hawks. Yes, so I just liked the situation.
- 3:22Speaker 1: But if you think about it, people were pointing out
- 3:24Speaker 1: yesterday how the George Mason Patriots beat the Saint Joe's Hawks.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Patriots over Hawks. Then that game you had Charlotte Hornets,
- 3:37Speaker 1: Drake May went to North Carolina beating the Hawks. Uh,
- 3:43Speaker 1: North Carolina over the Hawks. I don't know, man, I
- 3:47Speaker 1: don't know. Is everything rigged? I don't know. We'll find
- 3:50Speaker 1: out today. I gave you my Super Bowl plays already.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I will really reiterate them in this show. But go
- 3:56Speaker 1: watch my super Bowl show. It's not too long. It's
- 3:59Speaker 1: like an hour. I think you have time to do it.
- 4:01Speaker 1: If you want to go see my actual analysis on that.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'll do like a really quick breakdown of all of
- 4:06Speaker 1: them at the end of the show. Here. I did
- 4:09Speaker 1: add one more play as well, I think two days
- 4:11Speaker 1: ago one more prop So i'll talk about that and
- 4:14Speaker 1: how I like break down the how I break it
- 4:16Speaker 1: all down. I'm gonna add one college basketball play and
- 4:20Speaker 1: that'll be it. There's a short NBA card as well,
- 4:22Speaker 1: which I'm gonna avoid. But there is one big game.
- 4:26Speaker 1: The Celtics are playing a pretty big game today, so
- 4:29Speaker 1: there is that. Alexander, what's up man? It is not
- 4:33Speaker 1: West Virginia, although I probably agree with that, Garrett, what's
- 4:37Speaker 1: up man? Yes, you must be happy about that. The
- 4:41Speaker 1: duke implosion in North Carolina getting the win, I'd be
- 4:45Speaker 1: looking to fade North Carolina in their next game. I
- 4:47Speaker 1: don't even know what it is, but that's what I'm
- 4:49Speaker 1: gonna be looking to do. That was a monster win, obviously.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And then you have John shire Or being a baby.
- 4:55Speaker 1: All he does is go out there and complain about
- 4:58Speaker 1: court storming every time it happens to them. It's like, okay, well,
- 5:01Speaker 1: then don't lose the game. Like you're the better team,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you have a big lead in the game. How about
- 5:06Speaker 1: you don't lose and then you don't have to worry
- 5:08Speaker 1: about it. It's stupid, really really stupid, Kyle. What's up?
- 5:15Speaker 1: The Dolphins? Theah their their absolute ass. I am sort
- 5:19Speaker 1: of neutral on the Patriots at this point. I hate
- 5:21Speaker 1: their fan base, but we're going I like Drake May,
- 5:24Speaker 1: but we're gonna go with the Uh, We're going with
- 5:26Speaker 1: the Patriots because that's my play for today. I did
- 5:29Speaker 1: actually bet it as well, even though you know me,
- 5:32Speaker 1: I'm waiting to have my funds freed up and figure
- 5:37Speaker 1: out what I'm really gonna actually do. But I did
- 5:38Speaker 1: actually put money on the Patriots side. What Zipper, What
- 5:48Speaker 1: I do not purchase from fanatics, Let's just put it
- 5:51Speaker 1: that way. This is from another place where I can
- 5:54Speaker 1: get the same quality, possibly better at wholesale for like
- 5:59Speaker 1: thirty So that's where this is from. And it's still
- 6:02Speaker 1: got the stitching on numbers and everything. I don't know.
- 6:06Speaker 1: You could tell me if you think it looks any
- 6:08Speaker 1: worse than a fanatics. Jersey fanatics are a scam. They
- 6:14Speaker 1: do also have a sports book that's available here in
- 6:17Speaker 1: mass shy or yeah, he's a baby. Let's get into
- 6:22Speaker 1: this man. College basketball, I'm gonna try to run through this.
- 6:25Speaker 1: The first game up is a pretty good game in
- 6:27Speaker 1: the American Conference between what I think are the two
- 6:29Speaker 1: best teams in that conference, Tulsa in South Florida. Both
- 6:35Speaker 1: teams are gonna show up for this game. I think
- 6:36Speaker 1: there's pretty much no question about that. Although Tulsa did
- 6:39Speaker 1: just beat FAU in their last game, so they're playing
- 6:42Speaker 1: a second straight road game coming up a pretty good
- 6:44Speaker 1: road win there, so that type of setup isn't great,
- 6:48Speaker 1: but I do think that will show up. And one
- 6:50Speaker 1: big part of this handicap is Tulsa. I believe they
- 6:53Speaker 1: were a small favorite in the first game at home
- 6:55Speaker 1: against South Florida and they lost the game by double digits,
- 6:58Speaker 1: so there is a little bit of a road revenge
- 7:00Speaker 1: angle here. Really it would be that Tulsa knows what
- 7:03Speaker 1: went wrong in that game and they'd be able to
- 7:05Speaker 1: make the adjustments. Maybe that will be what happens here
- 7:09Speaker 1: Self Florida. They are not going to overlook this game either, though.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Self Florida is coming off of an easy win over Utsa,
- 7:17Speaker 1: so the situational setup based on what these teams did
- 7:21Speaker 1: in the last game is actually better for South Florida.
- 7:24Speaker 1: One other thing is that people are gonna see Tulsa
- 7:26Speaker 1: as this really pretty looking record, Yet Self Florida is
- 7:29Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite here because they're
- 7:31Speaker 1: gonna be a decent amount a decent amount of home court.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I do actually think Tulsa is the better team, but
- 7:36Speaker 1: it's not by a significant margin. So this line is
- 7:41Speaker 1: I would say it's maybe slightly high, but it is
- 7:44Speaker 1: something to take note of. When the team with the
- 7:46Speaker 1: worst record has a favorite price attached to them, that
- 7:50Speaker 1: is usually something to look at. However, in this game,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I think I would lean to Tulsa just because of
- 7:55Speaker 1: the avenging road underdog angle is pretty wrong and the
- 8:00Speaker 1: market does seem to be agreeing with it, and I
- 8:02Speaker 1: think they're the better team, and I think the line
- 8:04Speaker 1: might be slightly high. I think you know you're gonna
- 8:06Speaker 1: get an effort out of them, and if they change
- 8:08Speaker 1: some things up from the first game, South Florida might
- 8:11Speaker 1: not know what Tulsa is about to do, which is
- 8:13Speaker 1: why that zigzag if you will does work more often
- 8:18Speaker 1: than it doesn't. Seventy percent of the tickets are on
- 8:20Speaker 1: South Florida, sixty six percent of the cash on Tulsa.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I'll agree with Tulsa plus the points in that one.
- 8:27Speaker 1: South Florida is looking like they're teetering on being a
- 8:29Speaker 1: four point favorite. There. Yes, sir jay Forte, what's up man? Yes,
- 8:36Speaker 1: thanks for hanging out everybody, dirty sock? What's up man?
- 8:39Speaker 1: All right? That's on espn U. By the way, at noon.
- 8:43Speaker 1: All the games are in the afternoon because the Super
- 8:45Speaker 1: Bowl gets the wide open TV spot. Obviously, man, no
- 8:50Speaker 1: sports can go on during the super Bowl, so all
- 8:53Speaker 1: the basketball is done by five pm or so. Also
- 8:58Speaker 1: at noon USC at Penns on the Big Ten Network.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Really great representation of the Big Ten here, USC coming
- 9:05Speaker 1: up a really nice win over Indiana. That was a
- 9:07Speaker 1: win that I gave out on the show. Nice spot
- 9:09Speaker 1: to play USC in that when we got it. Right now,
- 9:12Speaker 1: they're going on the road to Penn State. I know
- 9:14Speaker 1: Penn State's bad, but there is the potential that USC
- 9:18Speaker 1: is gonna overlook this game because they do have Ohio
- 9:21Speaker 1: State on deck USC Ohio State, they're both kind of
- 9:23Speaker 1: tournament bubble teams right now, Illinois on deck after that
- 9:27Speaker 1: when they return home big win over Indiana they're coming
- 9:30Speaker 1: off of which Indiana is another bubble team. So USC
- 9:34Speaker 1: does kind of need to notch these wins like it
- 9:37Speaker 1: would be very good for them to notch these wins
- 9:39Speaker 1: against these bubble teams. Not that I mean, if they
- 9:43Speaker 1: lose to Ben's State, that's obviously not gonna be good
- 9:45Speaker 1: for their resume either. But there is definitely the chance
- 9:48Speaker 1: they can overlook this game. Penn State. They're definitely bad.
- 9:52Speaker 1: They got that win, which was another win that I
- 9:54Speaker 1: gave out on the show against Minnesota. That was their
- 9:56Speaker 1: first conference win. I thought that might to get that
- 10:00Speaker 1: monkey off the back, give them some momentum. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 1: they were not gonna win at Michigan, but they got
- 10:05Speaker 1: absolutely destroyed at Michigan, losing one, ten to sixty nine.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Anytime you lose like that to anybody, I know, it's
- 10:13Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the country, but I
- 10:16Speaker 1: think you do show up with some sense of pride
- 10:19Speaker 1: after you like, you know, you've got to show up
- 10:21Speaker 1: and try to do better than that after a game
- 10:23Speaker 1: like that. Nobody wants to lose to that extent to anybody.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So I like Penn State in this game, plus the points,
- 10:31Speaker 1: USC only a three and a half point favorite. Four
- 10:34Speaker 1: point favorite looks way too easy to play USC based
- 10:36Speaker 1: on these teams records, so that is not what I
- 10:39Speaker 1: would do again. It's also a pretty unfamiliar venue for
- 10:42Speaker 1: them because they're new to the Big Ten. I don't
- 10:44Speaker 1: even know if they've played at Penn States as they've
- 10:46Speaker 1: started participating in the Big Ten. So definitely not a
- 10:50Speaker 1: familiar venue for them. At the very least, ninety three
- 10:52Speaker 1: percent of tickets ninety four percent of the cash on USC,
- 10:55Speaker 1: they're gonna be a heavily public side. Looks too easy
- 11:00Speaker 1: a lot you know, when things look too easy, A
- 11:02Speaker 1: lot of times they are not. Although there are some
- 11:04Speaker 1: situations where I will actually agree with that side if
- 11:07Speaker 1: there is a strong situation, but that is not one
- 11:10Speaker 1: of them. The situation, in fact, I think is negative
- 11:13Speaker 1: for USC in that one, so lean Penn State plus
- 11:16Speaker 1: the points. CBS has the classic football Rivalry Part two
- 11:22Speaker 1: in basketball number two, Michigan at Ohio State. Ohio State
- 11:27Speaker 1: played pretty well at Michigan, already covering but losing the game.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Losing by twelve at Michigan. No shame in that, man.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I think Ohio State will show up in this game
- 11:37Speaker 1: as well. Of course, they get to host Michigan now
- 11:40Speaker 1: in a little bit of revenge, but maybe because they
- 11:42Speaker 1: played pretty competitively against Michigan, maybe Michigan will take them
- 11:46Speaker 1: seriously as well. Ohio State coming in off an easy
- 11:49Speaker 1: win at Maryland. Maryland is absolutely terrible, maybe worse than
- 11:54Speaker 1: Penn State, to be honest, I don't know. I'd have
- 11:56Speaker 1: to see Ken Bump's power ratings on that, but I
- 11:58Speaker 1: just don't care right now. Michigan coming off that win
- 12:01Speaker 1: where they looked really good even though it was against
- 12:03Speaker 1: Penn State, putting up one hundred and ten points. I mean,
- 12:06Speaker 1: everybody's gonna want to be on a team when they
- 12:09Speaker 1: just scored one hundred and ten points. Man, So I
- 12:12Speaker 1: think Michigan's gonna be the public side here. Not really
- 12:15Speaker 1: a strong opinion here, but I would probably have to
- 12:17Speaker 1: lean to taking the points of Ohio State, although, like
- 12:20Speaker 1: I said, because Ohio State did cover barely against Michigan
- 12:24Speaker 1: in the other game, maybe that means Michigan will take
- 12:27Speaker 1: them a bit more seriously. But still I don't know, man,
- 12:32Speaker 1: because it was still a double digit win for Michigan.
- 12:34Speaker 1: So Michigan up from nine to ten and a half here,
- 12:37Speaker 1: But seventy seven percent of tickets only seventy one percent
- 12:39Speaker 1: of the cash on Michigan. The percentage has just changed
- 12:43Speaker 1: to us. Start agreeing with me. By the way, I'd
- 12:46Speaker 1: probably take the points, but again not a strong opinion there. Fox.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Here's your Texas Tech West Virginia game here, number thirteen.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Texas Tech at West Virginia laying not a huge price
- 12:57Speaker 1: with Texas Tech does look some way easy to do here.
- 13:01Speaker 1: But remember West Virginia. They play a really really slow
- 13:05Speaker 1: brand of basketball, even slower than under the Huggins eraw
- 13:08Speaker 1: with what's his face from North Texas. There very very
- 13:12Speaker 1: slow basketball from West Virginia. They play a lot of ugly,
- 13:16Speaker 1: low scoring games, which is good when you want them
- 13:19Speaker 1: as a home underdog. That's a good thing because they
- 13:21Speaker 1: get involved in these just monstrously ugly games. The totals
- 13:25Speaker 1: one thirty six with money looking like it's coming in
- 13:28Speaker 1: on the under, so I probably wouldn't disagree with the
- 13:31Speaker 1: under either. I think you're getting two teams that are
- 13:33Speaker 1: pretty good on the defensive end here, although maybe that's
- 13:36Speaker 1: just my perception of Texas Tech from years past. Actually yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that Texas Tech is actually better on
- 13:42Speaker 1: offense this year than defense, and they play like a
- 13:45Speaker 1: mid temp boll But I do think West Virginia is
- 13:46Speaker 1: gonna be able to slow this thing down to a crawl.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And Texas Tech is coming off a big game primetime
- 13:53Speaker 1: loss to Kansas. They did lose the favorite, but that
- 13:56Speaker 1: type of loss, a big game like that that can
- 13:58Speaker 1: hang you over and having a to Morgantown bit of
- 14:01Speaker 1: a weird travel spot. Now. I wish they had Arizona
- 14:04Speaker 1: up next in their next game, because then we'd be
- 14:07Speaker 1: looking at a sandwich. I might be on West Virginia
- 14:09Speaker 1: if that was the case, but they do have Colorado
- 14:12Speaker 1: mixed in there, so I'm not gonna do it. But
- 14:14Speaker 1: I would agree with West Virginia plus the points in
- 14:17Speaker 1: this one. It'll be a big game for them hosting
- 14:19Speaker 1: Texas Tech at home. I don't believe these teams have
- 14:21Speaker 1: played otherwise this year, and I think this is the
- 14:24Speaker 1: only time they play this year. West Virginia coming up
- 14:27Speaker 1: another one of their patented hideous games or I said
- 14:30Speaker 1: that game was probably gonna be an under against Cincinnati.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Cincinnati just can't score, man. West Virginia went in there
- 14:36Speaker 1: and beat them. Decent win for West Virginia there, But
- 14:39Speaker 1: they'll show up for a home game against Texas Tech
- 14:42Speaker 1: and nobody will want West Virginia because they play these
- 14:45Speaker 1: hideous games. In that game, neither team even got to sixty.
- 14:50Speaker 1: So yeah, West Virginia would be my lean in that one.
- 14:52Speaker 1: They're getting six now from Texas Tech, eighty five percent
- 14:56Speaker 1: of the tickets and eighty six percent of the cash
- 14:58Speaker 1: on Texas Tech. They're gonna the public side, like I said,
- 15:01Speaker 1: Texas Tech will be so yes, West Virginia would be
- 15:04Speaker 1: a lean there. My best bet in college of basketball
- 15:07Speaker 1: is next and this one is I dude, I know
- 15:14Speaker 1: we're we're gonna be on a really, really bad team here,
- 15:17Speaker 1: but I think the number is pretty big and the
- 15:20Speaker 1: situation calls for this. We're gonna go on with UNC
- 15:23Speaker 1: Greensboro plus twelve and a half ken Bum, I believe
- 15:27Speaker 1: has this number at eleven. It goes to eleven, so
- 15:32Speaker 1: that is fine with me, even though, yes, I know
- 15:34Speaker 1: if you look at ken Bum's numbers, I know we're
- 15:36Speaker 1: fading Firman here in Furman is the better team. He's
- 15:39Speaker 1: got Furman, you know, just in the pretty much in
- 15:42Speaker 1: the middle of the pack everywhere. Offense, defense, they're balanced,
- 15:45Speaker 1: they play on the slower side of things. They are
- 15:47Speaker 1: a little bit lucky according to ken Bum, But I
- 15:50Speaker 1: know if you look at Greensboro, their offense is not
- 15:52Speaker 1: that much worse than Furman's with their defense is absolutely miserable,
- 15:56Speaker 1: like bottom fifteen defense. I know, I don't usually like
- 16:00Speaker 1: teams like that, but again I think the numbers too
- 16:03Speaker 1: high and the situation calls for this. Both teams play slow,
- 16:07Speaker 1: so again that might mean that points might be a
- 16:09Speaker 1: little bit more difficult to come by in this game,
- 16:11Speaker 1: even though I know the totals at about one point fifty,
- 16:13Speaker 1: so it's not exactly a low total. And that's because
- 16:16Speaker 1: Greensboro can't stop opposing offenses. They are also on the
- 16:21Speaker 1: luckier side of things, which worries me. I know Greensboro,
- 16:25Speaker 1: ken Bum is telling you they've overperformed, although he's telling
- 16:28Speaker 1: you Furman has overperformed as well. Now for you and
- 16:31Speaker 1: see Greensboro, I think the setup is fine because they
- 16:33Speaker 1: just broke a three game losing streak with a home
- 16:35Speaker 1: win over a Western Carolina team that has pulled off
- 16:39Speaker 1: some upsets in the Soacon here this year the Southern Conference,
- 16:42Speaker 1: but they're not a very good team, So I think
- 16:45Speaker 1: that's just a good win in that UNC Greensboro will
- 16:48Speaker 1: break that losing momentum and carry it forward. Now they're
- 16:51Speaker 1: playing Furman. Furman already went into UNC Greensboro and embarrassed
- 16:55Speaker 1: them by twenty three points. And you know what I
- 16:58Speaker 1: say about that, when you have an avenging road underdog
- 17:01Speaker 1: in the second meeting, I do like to look that
- 17:02Speaker 1: way because the team that went into their place and
- 17:05Speaker 1: beat them, especially if they're a big favorite, if they
- 17:08Speaker 1: went in and they just crushed that other team on
- 17:11Speaker 1: their own floor, they're gonna overlook that team more often
- 17:14Speaker 1: than not. And the team that got crushed might be
- 17:16Speaker 1: able to make the adjustments or whatever. So I know
- 17:18Speaker 1: you would see Greensboro was way down this year, but
- 17:20Speaker 1: I think they'll get up for this game for those reasons.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna be really easy for Furman
- 17:25Speaker 1: to overlook this, especially when you see what Furman just did.
- 17:28Speaker 1: They just lost the three game win streak I talk
- 17:31Speaker 1: about sometimes when you lose a win streak, you'll be hungover.
- 17:34Speaker 1: But look at what the game was where they lost
- 17:37Speaker 1: that streak. They had to go to East Tennessee State,
- 17:40Speaker 1: the top team in the conference. They took them into
- 17:43Speaker 1: overtime on the road and fell just short. So I
- 17:46Speaker 1: think they're gonna be in a flat spot after that. Man,
- 17:48Speaker 1: this has like hangover, let down, whatever you want to
- 17:51Speaker 1: call it, written all over this thing. Furman was winning
- 17:54Speaker 1: this game too, like they had East Tennessee pretty much
- 17:57Speaker 1: dead to rights. Furman was winning this game by double
- 18:00Speaker 1: digits in the second half and they fell apart lost
- 18:03Speaker 1: the game in overtime. That's just absolutely brutal for Firman Man.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And they shot really well in the game too. They
- 18:09Speaker 1: shot fifty three percent from the field in the game,
- 18:11Speaker 1: which is part of the reason they were even in
- 18:15Speaker 1: the game, because East Tennessee did have more possessions than
- 18:19Speaker 1: they did, although Furman did actually out rebound them. Oddly enough,
- 18:22Speaker 1: it was a very strange box score in that game.
- 18:24Speaker 1: But still that was a huge game. Now they get
- 18:27Speaker 1: this UNC Greensboro team where they already embarrassed on the road,
- 18:31Speaker 1: and up next they got to play Mercer, who is
- 18:33Speaker 1: legitimately one of the better teams in this conference as
- 18:35Speaker 1: well and is right behind them in the standings. Although
- 18:38Speaker 1: they did beat Mercer already once but only by two
- 18:41Speaker 1: at home, so that is a big that's a bigger
- 18:43Speaker 1: game up next man against Mercer. So we have a
- 18:46Speaker 1: sandwich spot here plus an avenging road underdog angle here.
- 18:51Speaker 1: UNC Greensboro will be the play here. Looks like the
- 18:54Speaker 1: cash is not really agreeing with me on this one
- 18:56Speaker 1: right now. Sixty nine percent of the tickets and eighty
- 18:58Speaker 1: five percent of the cash on Furhman. But this is
- 19:00Speaker 1: what we're going with. This is my situational read. This
- 19:04Speaker 1: is where it leads me. This is my only non
- 19:08Speaker 1: super Bowl play of the day. It'll wet your palette
- 19:11Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl. UNC greens Borrow plus the points
- 19:14Speaker 1: is the play, all right. We have a few games
- 19:18Speaker 1: that are not actually on TV, but all the non
- 19:20Speaker 1: TV ones are on ESPN, plus Wichita at Tulane in
- 19:24Speaker 1: the American It's not the greatest game, but I do
- 19:27Speaker 1: think Wichita is a bit under the radar. Still, they
- 19:30Speaker 1: just beat Charlotte. I've been talking about how Charlotte is
- 19:34Speaker 1: just a complete fraud, like the fact that they're up
- 19:37Speaker 1: here top four in the conference standings BS. They're not
- 19:41Speaker 1: good at all. But Wichita just beat them. That should
- 19:44Speaker 1: be a win. That'll just give them momentum coming into this.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I think they'll show up for this game. But the
- 19:49Speaker 1: problem is they do have South Florida and Tulsa on deck.
- 19:52Speaker 1: So there is the worry about the look ahead there
- 19:54Speaker 1: for Wichita because those are gonna be huge games against
- 19:58Speaker 1: what I think are the best two teams in this
- 19:59Speaker 1: com conference. Tulane is not really that good, so there
- 20:03Speaker 1: is the potential that they that Tulane is overlookable here.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Tulane's coming of a nice road win at Memphis, though
- 20:10Speaker 1: I know Memphis might be a little bit down this year,
- 20:12Speaker 1: but Memphis was definitely a favorite. I think a fairly
- 20:16Speaker 1: substantial favorite. Although I said that I leaned to Tulane
- 20:19Speaker 1: in that game. They pulled out the they pulled off
- 20:22Speaker 1: the outright win. I think they were about eight and
- 20:23Speaker 1: a half point underdogs in that one. So they are
- 20:26Speaker 1: coming off a pretty big upset, So that kind of
- 20:28Speaker 1: puts Tulane in what I think is maybe a letdown
- 20:31Speaker 1: spot here because maybe they just don't care that much
- 20:34Speaker 1: about another team that's in the middle of the pack
- 20:36Speaker 1: that doesn't have the gravitas that Memphis does in this conference,
- 20:41Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. That did break a
- 20:43Speaker 1: losing streak for Tulane, though they lost five games in
- 20:46Speaker 1: a row. So sometimes when you break a losing streak
- 20:48Speaker 1: that will propel you into the next game. I just
- 20:52Speaker 1: you know, based on the spot, there is the worry
- 20:55Speaker 1: about the look ahead. But I don't I don't want
- 20:57Speaker 1: to play a Tulane team that is coming of an
- 20:59Speaker 1: upset that I would lean to Wichita. They're laying three
- 21:02Speaker 1: and a half on the road. They are laying that
- 21:04Speaker 1: for a reason they are the better team fairly substantially.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Tulane is also setting up to look like a public
- 21:11Speaker 1: underdog here, a very dreaded public home underdog, which is
- 21:15Speaker 1: not what you want. Eighty percent of the tickets and
- 21:17Speaker 1: only fifty nine percent of the cash on Tulane, So
- 21:20Speaker 1: I would want to fade them when I see a
- 21:21Speaker 1: market read like that as well. Public thinking that there's
- 21:25Speaker 1: value taking the points. Oh, Tulane, the record isn't that
- 21:27Speaker 1: much worse. Yeah, but the oddsmakers are telling you Wichita
- 21:31Speaker 1: is the significantly better team there, and so is Memphis
- 21:35Speaker 1: against Charlotte, by the way, which is the next game here.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Not a great game, although Charlotte again is up here
- 21:41Speaker 1: in the American standings. They're just not actually that good, man.
- 21:44Speaker 1: They made a run through. They've beaten a lot of
- 21:46Speaker 1: the bad teams in this conference, man like. They mostly
- 21:49Speaker 1: have just beaten the dormats of the conference. They already
- 21:52Speaker 1: played Rice twice. They beat UTSA East Carolina, an overrated
- 21:57Speaker 1: Tulane team at home, and then a good win at
- 22:00Speaker 1: Tulsa for sure or not Tulsa excuse a Temple, They're
- 22:03Speaker 1: not gonna beat Tulsa. They did win at Temple, that's
- 22:06Speaker 1: a decent win, and they beat wichitad home, which is
- 22:09Speaker 1: an all right win as well. But I'm not oppressed
- 22:11Speaker 1: by this Charlotte resume. They did just lose a four
- 22:14Speaker 1: game win streak with that loss to Wichita. Second straight
- 22:17Speaker 1: road game here. Surel They'll probably get up for a
- 22:20Speaker 1: game against Memphis, because everybody does. Memphis is coming on
- 22:24Speaker 1: a nice road win against UAB so there is that,
- 22:28Speaker 1: but I don't know if that's gonna put Memphis in
- 22:30Speaker 1: a letdown spot. Really, I think I would probably lean
- 22:32Speaker 1: to Memphis here. I'm looking at the line, it just
- 22:35Speaker 1: kind of looks ridiculous, like why would the lesser why
- 22:38Speaker 1: would the team with the lesser record be laying almost
- 22:40Speaker 1: ten points. Well, that's again because the oddsmakers are telling
- 22:44Speaker 1: you who the better team really is here, and that
- 22:46Speaker 1: is Memphis by a decent margin despite what their record
- 22:49Speaker 1: looks like. They had a more difficult out of conference schedule, etc.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So I would probably lean to Memphis here. It's not
- 22:57Speaker 1: a situation where I think it's like really horrible for
- 22:59Speaker 1: them or any sixty percent of the tickets at sixty
- 23:02Speaker 1: five percent of the cash on Charlotte though, with Memphis
- 23:05Speaker 1: laying eight and a half right now, So that's the
- 23:11Speaker 1: market read there, slightly disagreeing with Memphis. CBS Sports two
- 23:16Speaker 1: PM has this Big twelve game between UCF and Cincinnati.
- 23:19Speaker 1: These teams did already play once UCF one by one
- 23:23Speaker 1: at home and didn't cover, and I did like Cincinnati
- 23:26Speaker 1: in that game to cover, which they did. Now UCF
- 23:29Speaker 1: is having to play a second straight road game and
- 23:31Speaker 1: they did just have to go to Houston coming off
- 23:34Speaker 1: that big win over Texas Tech. They were not able
- 23:37Speaker 1: to and that was a win for US by the way,
- 23:39Speaker 1: with Texas Tech. With UCF over Texas Tech, they were
- 23:42Speaker 1: not able to maintain that effort two straight games. I
- 23:46Speaker 1: was not surprised by that really. Now they're coming off
- 23:49Speaker 1: of that game, still might be a bit of a
- 23:51Speaker 1: difficult spot having to play these big games like this,
- 23:54Speaker 1: and they did again still already beat Cincinnati, although it
- 23:58Speaker 1: was a close game where maybe they win. Will still
- 24:00Speaker 1: take Cincinnati seriously because Cincinnati did give them a close game.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Cincinnati is coming up that ugly home loss and just
- 24:06Speaker 1: staying at home though ugly loss to West Virginia, I
- 24:10Speaker 1: should say, I think the spot does set up better
- 24:13Speaker 1: for Cincinnati here and they're laying points, which just looks crazy.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that I want to lay
- 24:18Speaker 1: points really ever with Cincinnati because they just can't score.
- 24:22Speaker 1: But they are good on the defensive end. But there's
- 24:25Speaker 1: a reason why they're laying points here against the UCF
- 24:28Speaker 1: team that is likely to make the tournament at this point, Like,
- 24:31Speaker 1: why would Cincinnati has this bad record be laying three
- 24:34Speaker 1: and a half right, Like the public will be all
- 24:37Speaker 1: over UCF getting the points in this one. Looks like
- 24:39Speaker 1: they are ninety three percent of the tickets on Central Florida,
- 24:42Speaker 1: eighty six percent of the cash. I'd lean Cincinnati fade
- 24:46Speaker 1: the public in that one. The public, these public underdogs are,
- 24:51Speaker 1: they're like they're a total red flag man that you
- 24:53Speaker 1: definitely want to stay away from. But it's a game.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I'm just gonna avoid Maryland at Minnesota on the Big
- 25:00Speaker 1: Ten network. I don't know if I could bring myself
- 25:03Speaker 1: to give out a play on Maryland. Man, I'm avoiding
- 25:05Speaker 1: the game. Maryland is just really really bad, but you
- 25:08Speaker 1: got to think they're gonna show up for some of
- 25:11Speaker 1: these games. Like nobody wants to keep losing by twenty
- 25:13Speaker 1: thirty points every game. Maryland is awful, but I think
- 25:18Speaker 1: maybe they'll be able to hang in this game against Minnesota.
- 25:21Speaker 1: We had Minnesota in their last game. They caught Michigan
- 25:23Speaker 1: State in a really good spot to catch them. Michigan
- 25:26Speaker 1: State was in a big time sandwich spot. We got
- 25:28Speaker 1: the win with Minnesota. They want outright. That was a
- 25:31Speaker 1: monster win for Minnesota beating Michigan State at home as
- 25:35Speaker 1: nine point underdogs so staying at home, this does look
- 25:39Speaker 1: like a flat spot for Minnesota. They do have to
- 25:41Speaker 1: go out to California after this tool. I don't know
- 25:43Speaker 1: how big that really is because Washington and Oregon are
- 25:46Speaker 1: not good this year, but so it's not really a
- 25:49Speaker 1: look ahead really, I think it is simply a letdown
- 25:52Speaker 1: spot though in Minnesota does play slow and they don't
- 25:56Speaker 1: score a lot, so Minnesota asking them to lay points
- 25:59Speaker 1: like this is not really a great thing for Minnesota.
- 26:02Speaker 1: And you know, I also don't like when a team
- 26:03Speaker 1: was a huge anti public underdog one game, like Minnesota
- 26:08Speaker 1: was against Michigan State and now they're like a public
- 26:10Speaker 1: favorite in the next game. That's a red flag too
- 26:13Speaker 1: where you probably want to fade that team, like just
- 26:15Speaker 1: completely shifting roles from one game to the next. So
- 26:18Speaker 1: I would have to play Maryland in this game. If
- 26:20Speaker 1: I was gonna play it, I would take the points
- 26:22Speaker 1: with Maryland doesn't make my car though Minnesota down from
- 26:25Speaker 1: nine to eight and a half, seventy two percent of
- 26:27Speaker 1: tickets on Minnesota, fifty five percent of the cash on Maryland. Though.
- 26:31Speaker 1: If I was gonna add any other game, it would
- 26:33Speaker 1: be this one though, As I mean, it's real, real ugly.
- 26:36Speaker 1: But yeah, this is my second second strongest opinion would
- 26:41Speaker 1: be Maryland plus the points. The total is pretty low
- 26:45Speaker 1: at one thirty nine. Rice in UAB probably the worst
- 26:50Speaker 1: of all the games on TV today, at least from
- 26:54Speaker 1: a college basketball perspective. Rice did just beat North Texas.
- 26:57Speaker 1: They're down this year. They'll probably show up for a
- 27:00Speaker 1: game at UAB. Ua B has been a decent team
- 27:02Speaker 1: in this conference for the most part. UAB coming off
- 27:06Speaker 1: a tough game against Memphis. They did lose by ten
- 27:08Speaker 1: though at home, but they also do have Tulsa up next,
- 27:11Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a revenge game too. Tulsa beat
- 27:14Speaker 1: them at UAB, so UAB maybe in a look ahead
- 27:17Speaker 1: here as well, I would probably have to lean Rice
- 27:21Speaker 1: in this one. Uab's laying eight and a half. They
- 27:23Speaker 1: have eighty eight percent of the tickets ninety nine percent
- 27:25Speaker 1: of the cash. It looks like for now, but I
- 27:27Speaker 1: don't know how much I really buy that that percentage
- 27:30Speaker 1: is accurate. I would be leaning towards Rice in that one.
- 27:34Speaker 1: And then the last game on Fox Sports one is
- 27:37Speaker 1: a big ten game between Northwestern and Iowa, and I
- 27:40Speaker 1: think Northwestern is very undervalued. Man the fact that the
- 27:45Speaker 1: record looks really bad. I keep saying that they're not
- 27:47Speaker 1: as bad as their record looks, and they just got
- 27:49Speaker 1: absolutely blasted by Illinois, and that, unfortunately was a loss.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I know I've been mentioning some winners that we've had
- 27:55Speaker 1: on the show that was a loser. We have losers
- 27:57Speaker 1: here too. I'm not gonna lie about it. We had
- 27:59Speaker 1: to lose Day yesterday too, But yeah, Northwestern got absolutely
- 28:03Speaker 1: annihilated by their big brother and rival, Illinois. Illinois is
- 28:07Speaker 1: a very good team, but I thought that the spot
- 28:10Speaker 1: was bad for Illinois. I thought Northwestern would put in
- 28:12Speaker 1: a much better effort. They just couldn't hit anything. Man,
- 28:14Speaker 1: they couldn't hit any shots. So coming out of that
- 28:17Speaker 1: an embarrassing forty point loss, I think they will show
- 28:21Speaker 1: up in this game at Iowa, even though yeah, they
- 28:23Speaker 1: have Michigan next. But I don't think you're gonna overlook
- 28:26Speaker 1: whoever your next opponent is if you have a loss
- 28:28Speaker 1: like that. Iowa comes into this with it coming back
- 28:32Speaker 1: from the Pacific Coast, so they do have travel involved here.
- 28:36Speaker 1: It went out there and they beat Oregon AM Washington.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Not that impressive because Iowa was, of course better than
- 28:41Speaker 1: those two teams, But I don't know, man, that return
- 28:45Speaker 1: from the Pacific Coast is still kind of a weird
- 28:47Speaker 1: thing for these Big ten teams to do. Unfortunately, they
- 28:50Speaker 1: don't have a big game up next, they only have Maryland.
- 28:52Speaker 1: But I would probably look towards taking the points with
- 28:55Speaker 1: the Northwestern in this one. Anyway, Iowa already dropped from
- 28:58Speaker 1: thirteen and a half to twelve. Don't see the percentages yet.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Some of the value looks like it's a little bit
- 29:03Speaker 1: gone here. But Iowa plays. We know they're the Ben
- 29:06Speaker 1: McCollum Iowa. Now, they're not the Iowa of the of
- 29:10Speaker 1: the McCaffrey days where they just speed the game up
- 29:13Speaker 1: and go really really fastest score one hundred points or whatever,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and no, Iowa goes really slow and they like might
- 29:20Speaker 1: not even score seventy sometimes that's what they do now.
- 29:23Speaker 1: So laying twelve with them total one thirty nine and
- 29:25Speaker 1: a half against an underrated Northwestern team, yeah, I would
- 29:29Speaker 1: not want to do that with Iowa. I would take
- 29:31Speaker 1: the points with Northwestern in that one. It's gonna be
- 29:34Speaker 1: difficult for Iowa to be able to cover a number
- 29:36Speaker 1: like that. I think they'll probably win, but I would
- 29:39Speaker 1: not want to be you know, I would definitely fade
- 29:43Speaker 1: them from a spread perspective there, all right, NBA, there
- 29:47Speaker 1: are four games. I don't have anything in the NBA here,
- 29:50Speaker 1: but I do have opinions. Of course. The big game
- 29:53Speaker 1: on ABC is Nicks and Celtics. Huge game, man, The
- 29:58Speaker 1: Celtics might be playing with a little bit of a
- 30:00Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder here. The teams are one and
- 30:02Speaker 1: one against each other this year, with I believe the
- 30:04Speaker 1: home team winning each game if I'm not mistaken, which
- 30:07Speaker 1: would make sense in a minute when I show you
- 30:09Speaker 1: what the team's road and home records are. But the Celtics,
- 30:13Speaker 1: because they lost to the Knicks in the playoffs last
- 30:16Speaker 1: year playoffs, the Celtics might still have a little bit
- 30:20Speaker 1: of a chip on their shoulder there. Yeah. The Knicks
- 30:22Speaker 1: beat the Celtics at home in the second game of
- 30:24Speaker 1: the season, and the Celtics beat them in Boston in December.
- 30:28Speaker 1: This game is in Boston. The Knicks are coming off
- 30:31Speaker 1: a blowout loss to Detroit, and a lot of times
- 30:34Speaker 1: I will like a team to bounce back from a blowout,
- 30:36Speaker 1: and I liked Detroit in that game. Unfortunately, it was
- 30:39Speaker 1: not a play that I gave out, but I was
- 30:40Speaker 1: correct about Detroit in that one. The Knicks were coming
- 30:43Speaker 1: off a double ot game against Denver, and I thought
- 30:46Speaker 1: they might even look ahead to the Celtics game, to
- 30:48Speaker 1: be honest, because it's a big TV game on Super
- 30:50Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. So it was kind of a bad spot
- 30:53Speaker 1: for them. But now they're in a spot where they
- 30:55Speaker 1: just lost a long win streak. They lost an eight
- 30:57Speaker 1: game win streak, and you know, I talk about when
- 30:59Speaker 1: teams lose really long win streaks like that, a lot
- 31:01Speaker 1: of times they will be hung over in the next game.
- 31:05Speaker 1: For the Celtics, the Celtics are coming off of a
- 31:08Speaker 1: game where they were getting annihilated in this game by Miami.
- 31:11Speaker 1: That was a win for me the other day Friday Night,
- 31:14Speaker 1: My only plan Friday was Miami plus the points. That
- 31:18Speaker 1: was a win. On the show, Miami was beating the
- 31:20Speaker 1: Celtics by twenty points in that game. Man, Miami probably
- 31:23Speaker 1: should have won the game. But the Celtics did what
- 31:26Speaker 1: they do, and when they get punched in the mouth,
- 31:28Speaker 1: the Celtics come back. In a lot of games, man,
- 31:30Speaker 1: They're able to erase huge deficits even with their bench players.
- 31:34Speaker 1: But on the other hand, when the Celtics get a
- 31:36Speaker 1: big lead, they get complacent and blow big leads too,
- 31:39Speaker 1: But that was a game where they're way behind they
- 31:41Speaker 1: came back and won. But having a really really bad
- 31:44Speaker 1: game like that as a favorite, and again the reason
- 31:46Speaker 1: why I faded the Celtics. They were coming off a
- 31:48Speaker 1: huge opset of Houston with Brown not even playing in
- 31:51Speaker 1: the game, and they had the Knicks on decks on
- 31:54Speaker 1: like it's gonna be a sandwich spot there, and it was.
- 31:57Speaker 1: But now the Celtics continued their momentum, which I think
- 32:00Speaker 1: is good. They didn't lose their win streak. They got
- 32:03Speaker 1: punched in the mouth and they got a scare, a
- 32:05Speaker 1: real scare out of Miami. And when a favorite gets
- 32:07Speaker 1: a scare like that, I like to look at them
- 32:09Speaker 1: in the next game. So I do prefer the Celtics
- 32:11Speaker 1: in this game. And then if you look at the
- 32:13Speaker 1: home road splits, the Knicks, believe it or not, are
- 32:16Speaker 1: just awful on the road eleven and thirteen straight up
- 32:19Speaker 1: on the road. The Celtics are good at home seventeen
- 32:22Speaker 1: and eight straight up at home. I know you're gonna
- 32:25Speaker 1: be laying points with the Celtics here, but that is
- 32:28Speaker 1: probably what I would do if I was gonna play it. Interestingly,
- 32:31Speaker 1: the osbeakers are actually telling you the Celtics are the
- 32:33Speaker 1: better team, which is really crazy to think about because
- 32:38Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm basically on record basically saying that
- 32:41Speaker 1: I think the Knicks are the best team in the
- 32:42Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. If the Celtics had Tatum, they probably would be.
- 32:47Speaker 1: But I don't think Detroit is totally for real. I
- 32:49Speaker 1: think Detroit is probably third. So it's very interesting to
- 32:53Speaker 1: see the Celtics laying four here and they're getting the
- 32:56Speaker 1: money sixty three percent of the tickets, seventy five percent
- 32:58Speaker 1: of the cash on the Celtics. I'm not gonna disagree
- 33:01Speaker 1: with the market in this one. I'll have a slight
- 33:04Speaker 1: opinion towards the Celtics hopefully they win as a Celtic fan.
- 33:08Speaker 1: But the line being four, I was like, the Knicks
- 33:11Speaker 1: have to have injuries or something going on here, right,
- 33:13Speaker 1: But it looks like the main guys that might be
- 33:16Speaker 1: injured are all game time decisions. So I expect all
- 33:19Speaker 1: of them to play if they're gonna be if they're
- 33:21Speaker 1: gonna be available, And that's heart and Anobi and Karl
- 33:24Speaker 1: Anthony Towns. They're all game time decisions. But we'll see. Man. Yeah,
- 33:29Speaker 1: so Heart's questionable again. If somebody is questionable and they
- 33:32Speaker 1: have this big game, Annobie questionable, they're all gonna try
- 33:36Speaker 1: to play if they can. Man, Yeah, all three of
- 33:39Speaker 1: them are questionable. Kats is an I thing. I mean,
- 33:42Speaker 1: I highly doubt that he doesn't play. So yeah, it's
- 33:46Speaker 1: interesting that the line is four because that would seem
- 33:49Speaker 1: to indicate there might be an injury on the Knicks side,
- 33:51Speaker 1: but there doesn't really seem to be one. So those
- 33:55Speaker 1: are my thoughts on that game. Jeff, what's up man? Northwestern?
- 34:01Speaker 1: On the money line, it's possible. I mean, Iowa plays
- 34:06Speaker 1: all these slow, slow games that could be pretty close
- 34:10Speaker 1: for comfort there. I don't know. I wouldn't be shocked
- 34:14Speaker 1: if that happened, But it's not like a really really
- 34:19Speaker 1: horrific spot for Iowa or anything. Miami at Washington. Miami
- 34:25Speaker 1: is coming up that huge performance against the Celtics. Like
- 34:28Speaker 1: I said, they went into Boston and they had the
- 34:30Speaker 1: Celtics totally on the ropes. I don't know how Miami
- 34:33Speaker 1: blew the game, to be honest. They were winning the
- 34:35Speaker 1: game by twenty I think in the second half they
- 34:37Speaker 1: lose the game. That's a very deflating loss. Man. When
- 34:40Speaker 1: you have a good team on the ropes like that,
- 34:42Speaker 1: as an underdoing you fall just short. Looks like a
- 34:44Speaker 1: big time hangover spot. Now going to Washington, Unfortunately Miami
- 34:49Speaker 1: doesn't have a big game on deck. They play Utah tomorrow.
- 34:52Speaker 1: They're in a Celtic Pride sandwich though, between Boston and Utah,
- 34:56Speaker 1: the teams in that movie. But still it looks like
- 35:01Speaker 1: a flat spot where they may very well overlook the Wizards.
- 35:04Speaker 1: The Wizards though, they're on a back to back, so
- 35:06Speaker 1: I don't know if I really want anything to do
- 35:07Speaker 1: with the Wizards, and they're traveling back from New York
- 35:10Speaker 1: and they're playing a third game in four and as
- 35:12Speaker 1: all in different cities, which isn't great. The Wizards got
- 35:15Speaker 1: me that win against Detroit. I gave them out plus
- 35:17Speaker 1: the points, and I said, whenever you take an underdog,
- 35:20Speaker 1: just put a little bit on the money line, man.
- 35:22Speaker 1: So the Wizards did get one. That one done for
- 35:24Speaker 1: us on the show. With that upset of Detroit. They
- 35:27Speaker 1: were in a bad spot after that, for sure. I
- 35:29Speaker 1: just didn't know if laying six made a lot of
- 35:32Speaker 1: sense with a team like the Nets there, but they
- 35:34Speaker 1: did cover, so the Wizards are coming up a pretty
- 35:37Speaker 1: ugly loss to the Nets yesterday. It was a bad
- 35:40Speaker 1: spot for the Wizards. I would lean to the Wizards
- 35:43Speaker 1: here because I think the spot is really bad for Miami,
- 35:46Speaker 1: but I don't really want to get involved with a team,
- 35:49Speaker 1: a bad team on a back to back with travel,
- 35:52Speaker 1: so I'll stay away. But I probably take the points
- 35:54Speaker 1: of the Wizards if I was gonna do anything with it.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Heat have gone up from ten and a half to
- 35:59Speaker 1: eleven and a half. They are public seventy five percent
- 36:01Speaker 1: of the tickets but ninety percent of the cash. It
- 36:04Speaker 1: looks like right now in the Heat as well. But
- 36:06Speaker 1: I also think you might get a little bit extra
- 36:08Speaker 1: line value in Washington, at least because they are on
- 36:11Speaker 1: the back to back. The oddsmakers have to skew the
- 36:13Speaker 1: number a little bit. So sometimes it is fine to
- 36:16Speaker 1: actually be on the team on the back to back,
- 36:19Speaker 1: even though I generally avoid it, just because I really
- 36:23Speaker 1: do think it is not the greatest spot. But Miami
- 36:25Speaker 1: is in a very bad spot off of that Celtics game. Stacks.
- 36:29Speaker 1: What's up man, Thanks for hanging out all right, Indiana
- 36:33Speaker 1: at Toronto. Indiana coming off a close loss to a
- 36:38Speaker 1: Yannis list Milwaukee team. It looks like they're now going
- 36:40Speaker 1: to keep Yanas to try to rebuild the team around him.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Jannis has not been happy, man. The team is just
- 36:46Speaker 1: not playing well around him. They have some other pretty
- 36:49Speaker 1: good players there though, Like I don't know, like they
- 36:50Speaker 1: still have Porous, Right, he's good, So I don't know Indiana.
- 36:56Speaker 1: They're coming off that loss to Milwaukee going to Toronto.
- 36:59Speaker 1: They do have the Knicks on deck, but I don't
- 37:01Speaker 1: really see them overlooking Toronto. They're probably not gonna overlook
- 37:03Speaker 1: anybody while they're mired in a three game losing street.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Toronto did just beat Chicago. They're staying at home here,
- 37:10Speaker 1: but they have a couple of days off, so yeah,
- 37:12Speaker 1: they're rested. But they're coming off a decent win and
- 37:15Speaker 1: they have a big game on deck against Detroit. So
- 37:18Speaker 1: I don't really love Toronto in this game. I'd probably
- 37:21Speaker 1: lean to taking the points with Indiana. The market seems
- 37:23Speaker 1: like it does agree. Raptors are an eight and a
- 37:26Speaker 1: half point favorite, seventy four percent of the tickets on
- 37:28Speaker 1: them and sixty six percent of the cash The other
- 37:31Speaker 1: thing about the Raptors is you typically do want to
- 37:33Speaker 1: fade them as a home favorite. They're actually not good
- 37:35Speaker 1: at home, believe it or not. Fifteen to twelve straight
- 37:38Speaker 1: up at home, and you're asking them to lay points
- 37:41Speaker 1: like this, And if you look at their history this season,
- 37:44Speaker 1: the Raptors are not good as a big favorite, a
- 37:47Speaker 1: favorite in this price range. They have failed to cover
- 37:50Speaker 1: the majority of the time, and they've lost some of
- 37:52Speaker 1: those games outright too, So the Raptors do not do
- 37:55Speaker 1: well as a big favorite. Indiana though, they're three and
- 37:58Speaker 1: twenty one straight up on the road. That is really
- 38:01Speaker 1: really awful. So they are not a good road team
- 38:03Speaker 1: at all. Actually decent at home, but horrible on the road.
- 38:08Speaker 1: So I don't really want anything to do with Indiana either,
- 38:10Speaker 1: although you know, you don't need them to win the game,
- 38:12Speaker 1: you just need them to cover. And then ESPN at
- 38:15Speaker 1: three PM has Clippers and at tules Clippers. Don't know
- 38:19Speaker 1: when they're gonna have Darius Garland. We'll have to figure
- 38:23Speaker 1: that out. I guess the Clippers are coming off almost
- 38:25Speaker 1: losing at Sacramento, so that might kind of shock them
- 38:29Speaker 1: into focus here. They might have been looking ahead to Minnesota.
- 38:32Speaker 1: I know the Clippers had come off that ugly loss
- 38:34Speaker 1: to Cleveland right after the trade with them. Hardin also
- 38:38Speaker 1: did not play in that game for Cleveland. But yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 1: the Clippers, they bounced back, so they did get a win.
- 38:43Speaker 1: It was a win that probably scared them against Sacramento,
- 38:46Speaker 1: and again, maybe they were looking ahead to this, so
- 38:48Speaker 1: I expect focus out of the Clippers coming into this one. Minnesota.
- 38:53Speaker 1: They just lost at home to the New to New
- 38:56Speaker 1: Orleans though, which is just a horrendous loss. And I
- 39:00Speaker 1: did like New Orleans in that game. I told you,
- 39:02Speaker 1: I just didn't love the spot for Minnesota. They were
- 39:04Speaker 1: returning home from a road trip, and you know, I
- 39:06Speaker 1: always look to fade teams or just stay away when
- 39:08Speaker 1: they're returning home, so they got caught in that spot.
- 39:11Speaker 1: But when a team has a horrible game in the
- 39:14Speaker 1: return home spot like that, they usually will do a
- 39:16Speaker 1: lot better in the next game. So I think it's
- 39:20Speaker 1: an okay spot for both teams. But you know, I
- 39:24Speaker 1: might have to lay I might have to agree with
- 39:26Speaker 1: laying it with the Tea Wolves in this one. Man.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Although they're public seventy percent of the tickets, only sixty
- 39:31Speaker 1: six percent of the cash on them, So the money
- 39:32Speaker 1: is seemingly disagreeing with that. But eight and a half
- 39:36Speaker 1: point favorite staying at home off just an atrocious loss
- 39:40Speaker 1: that was kind of explainable in a bad spot there, Yeah,
- 39:44Speaker 1: I would probably have to lead to the Tea Wolves
- 39:45Speaker 1: unless there's some injury situation coming into play that would
- 39:50Speaker 1: indicate that I shouldn't. I don't. I don't really think
- 39:52Speaker 1: there is. And yeah, Garland still won't be there for
- 39:54Speaker 1: the Clippers, like basically from Minnesota generally, you're just like
- 40:01Speaker 1: figuring out what what is the status of Ante? He
- 40:03Speaker 1: had words pretty much as long as he has continued
- 40:07Speaker 1: to play, then we're fine. Yeah, he played in the
- 40:09Speaker 1: game against New Orleans. He'll play tonight too, so or
- 40:11Speaker 1: of today. So yeah, I think I would probably lean
- 40:14Speaker 1: to the t Wolves in that one. But the money
- 40:16Speaker 1: seems to be disagreeing, maybe thinking the t Wolves are
- 40:18Speaker 1: too heavy of a favorite. The Clippers have been like
- 40:22Speaker 1: a professional side for a bit now, like the professionals
- 40:26Speaker 1: have basically been. They've been leaning towards the Clippers because
- 40:30Speaker 1: the oddsmakers have been respecting the Clippers recently because they've
- 40:34Speaker 1: been a lot better recently and they're better than their
- 40:36Speaker 1: overall record looks, so they probably do deserve that amount
- 40:40Speaker 1: of respect, but in this game, yeah, I just don't
- 40:42Speaker 1: really like them, all right. And then we do have
- 40:44Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, where I already talked about it, so
- 40:46Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in detail here, but uh yeah,
- 40:49Speaker 1: check out my Super Bowl special show for it. But yes,
- 40:52Speaker 1: uh so, first off, we do have the New England
- 40:55Speaker 1: Patriots that'll be like, it's dude, don't over bet on anything,
- 40:59Speaker 1: even if it's the super Bowl. It's one game bet
- 41:03Speaker 1: size appropriately, I'm I would I recommend making this a
- 41:07Speaker 1: regular size bet, just the same that you bet on
- 41:10Speaker 1: anything else. Pretty much, if you have like ranges, you know,
- 41:13Speaker 1: then that would depend on how strongly you feel about this,
- 41:15Speaker 1: But don't bet more than you can afford. Obviously, bank
- 41:18Speaker 1: roll it like basically pretty much you're like like heavier
- 41:25Speaker 1: bet like pretty much you should be betting like like
- 41:27Speaker 1: one percent of your entire bank roll basically is really
- 41:30Speaker 1: kind of the that's like the the number that the
- 41:34Speaker 1: professionals always throw out there, like your your three unit
- 41:38Speaker 1: bet basically should be the should be a one percent.
- 41:41Speaker 1: And then if you have bets you feel less strongly
- 41:43Speaker 1: about put a little bit less on those, and then
- 41:45Speaker 1: the really strong ones you go up to like five units.
- 41:49Speaker 1: It would be like I guess you'd I guess on those,
- 41:54Speaker 1: make them rare, but I guess on those, you'd be
- 41:55Speaker 1: going up to about five percent of your bank roll
- 41:58Speaker 1: on those. Oh no, not not five five percent would
- 42:03Speaker 1: be insane. Not five percent. I can't even do math anymore.
- 42:09Speaker 1: What would it be? Two percent? Maybe? No, not to
- 42:12Speaker 1: one and a half percent something like that. I don't
- 42:14Speaker 1: know whatever it would be. I'll do the math right now.
- 42:16Speaker 1: I can't even do it. I'm so out of it
- 42:18Speaker 1: right now. It would be uh yeah, yeah, it would
- 42:28Speaker 1: be one one and two thirds percent whatever that comes
- 42:33Speaker 1: out to. But yes, you get what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 42:35Speaker 1: because yeah, because it's on a range of one, two, three,
- 42:38Speaker 1: four five. Yeah. All right, anyway, we're on the We're
- 42:41Speaker 1: on the Patriots here as a regular size bet plus
- 42:46Speaker 1: the points plus five or four and a half. Hopefully
- 42:48Speaker 1: it doesn't matter the prop bets. I'm gonnaive about some props,
- 42:53Speaker 1: and those I recommend playing it like the smallest amount
- 42:56Speaker 1: because you don't want because you're gonna have a number
- 42:58Speaker 1: of props. You don't want to overdo it with the props, right,
- 43:01Speaker 1: So I make each one of those about a third
- 43:04Speaker 1: of the normal sized bet, so that three props basically
- 43:07Speaker 1: become one, like the basically the monetary equivalent of one
- 43:12Speaker 1: bet that I would make, you know. So if I
- 43:13Speaker 1: have five props, it becomes like one. You know, it
- 43:17Speaker 1: becomes one and two thirds bets basically, if that makes sense,
- 43:22Speaker 1: which is what I did last year. But anyway, as
- 43:24Speaker 1: far as the side is concerned, really this is about
- 43:26Speaker 1: the just the perception. I do think Seattle is the
- 43:29Speaker 1: public side. Although we see fifty s percent of tickets
- 43:31Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of the cash on them. But everybody
- 43:34Speaker 1: saw what happened last right, and that's what the public
- 43:36Speaker 1: looks at. They're gonna look at the fact the Patriots
- 43:38Speaker 1: offense has been miserable. They look horrible in that game
- 43:42Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship. It was the worst game of
- 43:45Speaker 1: all time and shouldn't have even been played. That's the narrative. Meanwhile,
- 43:49Speaker 1: and the Patriots beat a backup quarterback, and they beat
- 43:52Speaker 1: bad offenses in the first couple of games of the playoffs,
- 43:55Speaker 1: and had the benefit of playing those dome teams outside
- 43:59Speaker 1: in the cold. I know, I've been saying that too,
- 44:01Speaker 1: that's true, but I think this it's now the case
- 44:05Speaker 1: where they're being an undervalue team, man. And everybody was
- 44:07Speaker 1: also saying the NFC Championship was the de facto Super
- 44:11Speaker 1: Bowl Seahawks rams whoever wins that game will just automatically
- 44:15Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Like that's basically been the narrative.
- 44:17Speaker 1: And when you have a narrative like that out there,
- 44:19Speaker 1: you want to fade it. That's been I've seen it
- 44:22Speaker 1: happen over and over again, man, and that's been the experience.
- 44:25Speaker 1: When everybody is saying that this is the actual Super Bowl,
- 44:28Speaker 1: that type of thing, you want to look towards the
- 44:31Speaker 1: other team in the other side of that Super Bowl matchup.
- 44:34Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing here. Both defenses in this
- 44:37Speaker 1: matchup are good, so I think that the defense can
- 44:41Speaker 1: kind of keep this game in check a bit, which
- 44:43Speaker 1: can hold it to, you know, in a range where
- 44:46Speaker 1: it's lower scoring as well. So I like that aspect
- 44:49Speaker 1: of this as well. And yeah, that's what we're gonna
- 44:52Speaker 1: do here, man. I think the line is just a
- 44:54Speaker 1: bit high as well. Like I said, I think if
- 44:59Speaker 1: those games last or two weeks ago didn't go the
- 45:01Speaker 1: way that they did, and we didn't see a high
- 45:03Speaker 1: scoring shoot out. Again, we didn't see the Seahawks put
- 45:06Speaker 1: up seventy something points in two games and the Patriots
- 45:09Speaker 1: only putting up fifty or whatever in three games. If
- 45:12Speaker 1: we didn't see that huge disparity there, I think this
- 45:15Speaker 1: line would be closer to three. So I do think
- 45:19Speaker 1: we're gonna be some value here we do have. Yeah,
- 45:21Speaker 1: the Seahawks have the more experienced quarterback technically, but neither
- 45:24Speaker 1: quarterback is experience in a Super Bowl in this level
- 45:28Speaker 1: of games, so I don't think that's a huge advantage
- 45:32Speaker 1: to Seattle. And on the other hand, I think the
- 45:34Speaker 1: Patriots have the coaching edge because they got variable who's
- 45:38Speaker 1: kind of been there, done that. He's coached more in
- 45:40Speaker 1: the playoffs. I believe the McDonald has when he was
- 45:42Speaker 1: with Tennessee. He's used to it all. And the Patriots
- 45:45Speaker 1: do still have their Super Bowl winning oc there who
- 45:48Speaker 1: was there for some of their Super bowls, Josh McDaniels.
- 45:51Speaker 1: So I think the coaching edge does go to the Patriots.
- 45:54Speaker 1: The coaching experience edge as well, which is not to
- 45:57Speaker 1: be overlooked. So we're gonna be taking the points of
- 46:00Speaker 1: the Patriots. Like I said, I'm trying not to go
- 46:03Speaker 1: into too grade of detail with this. Also, there are
- 46:05Speaker 1: some really really good trends with the underdogs that I
- 46:08Speaker 1: pointed out where I believe the underdog I believe has
- 46:11Speaker 1: covered nine of the last ten Super Bowls or something
- 46:14Speaker 1: like that. It definitely four of the last are in
- 46:17Speaker 1: all of the last five, I think five and zero
- 46:19Speaker 1: in the last five, the underdog is covered. Although we've
- 46:21Speaker 1: had small ish underdogs in some of them, but all
- 46:24Speaker 1: of them except for the Bengals against the Rams one outright,
- 46:28Speaker 1: and the Bengals probably shouldn't have covered, but let's not
- 46:30Speaker 1: go there because I'm still mad about it. But they
- 46:33Speaker 1: covered and didn't win in that one. And I had
- 46:36Speaker 1: the Rams half on the money line and half on
- 46:39Speaker 1: the spread in that one. So it was kind of
- 46:42Speaker 1: a That Super Bowl was a bit of a wash
- 46:44Speaker 1: for me. I think it was a slight loss. But anyway, whatever,
- 46:50Speaker 1: there are some good recent trends towards the underdogs and
- 46:53Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Let's just say that we're not in
- 46:55Speaker 1: like the We're not in the blowout era of football anymore,
- 46:59Speaker 1: where he had these just massive blowouts up through like
- 47:01Speaker 1: the nineties and whatever, we're not there anymore. Like, I
- 47:04Speaker 1: don't think this is one of those games, one of
- 47:06Speaker 1: those lop sided games. So and anyway, go watch my
- 47:10Speaker 1: Super Bowl video. You can see more analysis on that
- 47:13Speaker 1: if you want. I basically said the same thing though
- 47:15Speaker 1: as far as the total, I do agree with the under,
- 47:17Speaker 1: but at forty five and a half, I don't know.
- 47:19Speaker 1: I mean, forty five is kind of a key number,
- 47:21Speaker 1: but forty eight where it opened, and forty seven are
- 47:24Speaker 1: also key numbers. It would have been a lot better
- 47:26Speaker 1: to get the under forty seven, and it seems like
- 47:29Speaker 1: the public has not been able to drive this number
- 47:31Speaker 1: back up very much. So it's not gonna be a
- 47:34Speaker 1: total I'm gonna want to play, but I do have
- 47:37Speaker 1: other ways of playing the low scoring nature of the
- 47:40Speaker 1: game which I'm gonna which I've talked about many times,
- 47:44Speaker 1: but I'll reiterate it again. We have fifty seven percent
- 47:47Speaker 1: of tickets on the over, seventy percent of the cash
- 47:49Speaker 1: on the under. Though I don't disagree with an under.
- 47:51Speaker 1: I mean, I could see this game being low scoring,
- 47:53Speaker 1: but again, you're not really getting the greatest number anymore
- 47:56Speaker 1: on that, And sometimes these Super Bowls will just go
- 48:00Speaker 1: over in the late portions of the game, so as
- 48:03Speaker 1: the teams get more comfortable and they start kind of
- 48:06Speaker 1: loosening up their offense and doing some crazier things. But
- 48:09Speaker 1: that leads me into the first prop that I gave out,
- 48:13Speaker 1: which was no score in the first six minutes at
- 48:15Speaker 1: minus one forty. If you can find six and a
- 48:18Speaker 1: half minutes, you can get that price down. But the
- 48:20Speaker 1: books just seem like they just don't offer it anymore
- 48:22Speaker 1: because they know that the sharps just pick that off
- 48:26Speaker 1: and win with it. And that's what I've been doing,
- 48:28Speaker 1: like blindly, basically every year. I do that because the
- 48:31Speaker 1: vast majority of Super Bowls this hits, and the public
- 48:36Speaker 1: kind of doesn't like it because you usually have to
- 48:38Speaker 1: lay a little bit of a favorite price on it.
- 48:40Speaker 1: But what happens is the Super Bowls, especially when the
- 48:43Speaker 1: teams are unfamiliar with each other like this, and you
- 48:45Speaker 1: have good defenses. In this case, I think it's even
- 48:48Speaker 1: more likely because you have good defenses and you have
- 48:50Speaker 1: quarterbacks that just aren't that experience here, So I think
- 48:53Speaker 1: the both offenses are not gonna want to put the
- 48:56Speaker 1: load on the quarterbacks early, and they're not gonna want
- 48:58Speaker 1: to do anything stupid early, not take huge risks early.
- 49:01Speaker 1: So that's the way a lot of these Super Bowls going,
- 49:04Speaker 1: man is, it's a like a heavyweight fight and you're
- 49:06Speaker 1: feeling each other out for the first like several minutes
- 49:08Speaker 1: of the game. So looking for the game to be
- 49:10Speaker 1: low scoring early is the way to play these Super Bowls.
- 49:14Speaker 1: This is the way that I do it. Under in
- 49:17Speaker 1: the first quarter was a good way of looking at it.
- 49:19Speaker 1: But a lot of times you could get like a
- 49:21Speaker 1: double digit number on that And if you get under
- 49:23Speaker 1: the key number of ten, that was a pretty pretty
- 49:26Speaker 1: great approach as well. But you can't do it anymore,
- 49:29Speaker 1: man Like, the number is like eight in the first
- 49:31Speaker 1: quarter in this super Bowl. So this is my preferred approach.
- 49:35Speaker 1: Go with no score in the first six minutes to
- 49:37Speaker 1: just avoid you got to avoid like some fluky like turnover.
- 49:42Speaker 1: But I feel like that's that's pretty much it. And
- 49:45Speaker 1: this this has continued to hit. Like I think the
- 49:47Speaker 1: last time this didn't hit might have been the Tampa
- 49:50Speaker 1: Bay Kansas City super Was that what it was? No, Yeah,
- 49:54Speaker 1: it was Tampa Bay Kansas City, right, I think it
- 49:56Speaker 1: was that Super Bowl. The last time this was a loser.
- 50:00Speaker 1: I remember. I'd have to go back and look, but
- 50:01Speaker 1: I seem to remember that being the case something like that.
- 50:04Speaker 1: But the Patriots are actually really notorious for having very
- 50:08Speaker 1: low scoring early Super Bowls with Tom Brady, like they
- 50:13Speaker 1: hit this thing, I think, almost every single time in
- 50:15Speaker 1: the Tom Brady era, and that may very well continue
- 50:18Speaker 1: here too. So I like that one quite a bit.
- 50:21Speaker 1: If you can find a book that's given you the
- 50:22Speaker 1: six and a half minutes, get a better price on it.
- 50:25Speaker 1: I would do that because I don't think that extra
- 50:27Speaker 1: thirty seconds is gonna matter, and it's probably better to
- 50:30Speaker 1: get that price on it. But I couldn't find it.
- 50:37Speaker 1: It's on a couple of different books, but it was
- 50:39Speaker 1: there on the m oh The one that I'm talking
- 50:46Speaker 1: about here, the no score, no score in the first
- 50:49Speaker 1: six minutes, was on DK. I'm pretty sure FD might
- 50:53Speaker 1: have it as well, but they were not offering the
- 50:56Speaker 1: six and a half. I couldn't find those in any
- 50:58Speaker 1: other places. There might be some off the shore locations
- 51:03Speaker 1: that might have more granular ones, which is where I
- 51:05Speaker 1: used to play some things, so that might be the
- 51:08Speaker 1: case there too, though. The one that I just talked
- 51:11Speaker 1: about I'm pretty sure DK is where it is. This
- 51:15Speaker 1: other one is on well m MGM. I think we
- 51:20Speaker 1: could probably say it. I don't know. Steve Merrill mentions them,
- 51:22Speaker 1: so I don't know. This one, I'm pretty sure was.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Most of the books have this one, but they variant price,
- 51:27Speaker 1: So the best price I found was minus one fifty five.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Either team scores three consecutive times. I think this was
- 51:33Speaker 1: on m MGM. I'm pretty sure. I think a couple
- 51:36Speaker 1: of the other books might have had this low as well.
- 51:39Speaker 1: And with the public coming in, the public likes to
- 51:42Speaker 1: plain no on this at plus money because this is
- 51:45Speaker 1: that mind fucked prop that I was talking about. I
- 51:47Speaker 1: know there are a lot of professionals out there that
- 51:49Speaker 1: are saying, don't blindly play this anymore because well, I
- 51:54Speaker 1: don't even get what they're reasoning is because they're like, oh, well,
- 51:57Speaker 1: but I'm like why because the blowout era is over.
- 52:00Speaker 1: But I'm like, yeah, but we're we're in the offense
- 52:03Speaker 1: era of football now, Like these are still two pretty
- 52:06Speaker 1: decent offenses here, man, believe it or not, even though
- 52:09Speaker 1: the defenses kind of take top billing with these teams,
- 52:12Speaker 1: but the offenses are not bad. So yeah, so I
- 52:18Speaker 1: don't know what the deal is with that, but either
- 52:20Speaker 1: teams scoring three consecutive times, I heard I think it
- 52:22Speaker 1: was Steve Merrill who said this has only hit five
- 52:24Speaker 1: of the last ten years. But that doesn't seem right
- 52:26Speaker 1: because I I play this every single time, and I
- 52:30Speaker 1: don't I thought I thought that it had hit like
- 52:32Speaker 1: seven of the last ten. I don't have to go
- 52:34Speaker 1: back and look, but I know that generally it does
- 52:37Speaker 1: hit like seventy something percent of games and of super Bowls.
- 52:42Speaker 1: And yeah, in the blowout era, it was I guess
- 52:45Speaker 1: a bit easier to get it. But we're in the
- 52:47Speaker 1: offense era of football. Man, I'm still it's a you know,
- 52:50Speaker 1: it's a super Bowl. It's good weather, it's gonna be
- 52:52Speaker 1: in the sixties. It's in California, it's in San Francisco.
- 52:56Speaker 1: You know, the weather isn't gonna really impact anything. The
- 52:58Speaker 1: offenses should be able to get something done in this game.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Plus there is also the potential for turnovers that could
- 53:06Speaker 1: set up short fields and those That type of thing
- 53:08Speaker 1: does help this prop. When a team scores and then
- 53:11Speaker 1: they turn the other team over and they get another
- 53:13Speaker 1: score right away, that helps this prop too. But it
- 53:16Speaker 1: still happens much more often than it doesn't. I still
- 53:20Speaker 1: think this is a cheap price. I still think that
- 53:21Speaker 1: you can play this thing up to about minus one
- 53:24Speaker 1: seventy minus one eighty. I mean the fact, if it
- 53:26Speaker 1: hits like seventy something percent of the time or whatever,
- 53:29Speaker 1: then that basically means that it should be lined at
- 53:32Speaker 1: like minus I don't know, I forget what the equivalent
- 53:35Speaker 1: of it is. I should know this off the top
- 53:36Speaker 1: of my head, but I think minus two hundred maybe
- 53:40Speaker 1: actually probably even greater than that. I'll tell you in
- 53:43Speaker 1: a second. Oh, it's calculator, sold I should stop eyeballing it, man, Yeah,
- 53:51Speaker 1: imply probability calculator. Yeah, minus one seventy is only sixty
- 53:56Speaker 1: three percent, and historically it does happen more than that.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Minus one fifty five is sixty one less than sixty
- 54:03Speaker 1: one percent. Yeah, you'd actually you'd basically have to get
- 54:07Speaker 1: up to about minus two thirty or so, I would say,
- 54:15Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more than that. Yeah, you'd have
- 54:18Speaker 1: to probably get up to about at least minus two
- 54:20Speaker 1: thirty five to actually have what I think is a
- 54:22Speaker 1: fair line on this. To be honest, I don't know,
- 54:25Speaker 1: although I guess because the guys are saying that, well,
- 54:27Speaker 1: it's only happened five of the last ten. Okay, you know,
- 54:31Speaker 1: it still should be it still should be a heavier
- 54:33Speaker 1: price than this. I still think it's a cheap price.
- 54:35Speaker 1: The public never thinks that this will happen, but it
- 54:38Speaker 1: does way more often than it does. And so that's
- 54:40Speaker 1: the other game flow prop that I have. The beach books, well,
- 54:46Speaker 1: they're mostly in Europe. Uh, yes, okay, interesting, all right, Well, yeah,
- 55:03Speaker 1: I mean I'm in Massachusetts, so I mean, you know,
- 55:06Speaker 1: I mean, we have several books that are available here,
- 55:09Speaker 1: and of course those big ones are all right. And
- 55:12Speaker 1: then the other two props that I have, I gave
- 55:13Speaker 1: out two player props. I kind of like having one
- 55:17Speaker 1: on dude. Maybe I shouldn't, you know. Maybe I feel
- 55:20Speaker 1: like I'm forcing myself to do it now because I
- 55:21Speaker 1: did it last year and they both want Although we
- 55:24Speaker 1: kind of got lucky with the Worthy prop last year
- 55:26Speaker 1: because the game just got completely out of hand and
- 55:28Speaker 1: then the Eagles kind of just stopped going intense on
- 55:31Speaker 1: defense and the Chiefs just started going crazy on offense
- 55:34Speaker 1: late in the game. But Worthy got way over and
- 55:37Speaker 1: it looked like that prop was dead. We had worthy
- 55:40Speaker 1: over his completion or over his receptions, I think, but
- 55:44Speaker 1: we're still gonna do it. And again, the receptions and
- 55:46Speaker 1: completion props I think are more predictable, you know what
- 55:49Speaker 1: I mean, because you don't need like any flukes to
- 55:51Speaker 1: really happen. It's more of this like steady thing that's
- 55:54Speaker 1: gonna happen throughout the game. Although the first one that
- 55:57Speaker 1: I gave out is a little bit fluky because it's
- 55:59Speaker 1: a whole the backup running back from the Seattle Seahawks
- 56:03Speaker 1: over one and a half receptions. I found it at
- 56:05Speaker 1: minus one thirty five. I think it's a decent price
- 56:08Speaker 1: out there. And when I talked about this, basically I said,
- 56:11Speaker 1: this was like a really under the radar one because
- 56:13Speaker 1: nobody knows who this guy is. He just started playing
- 56:17Speaker 1: when sharbon A went down. But he's basically the replacement
- 56:19Speaker 1: for Sharbona. And I think you're getting a little bit
- 56:23Speaker 1: of value on him because people still don't know his name,
- 56:25Speaker 1: they don't know who he is. And if you look
- 56:28Speaker 1: at how this how Seattle runs their offense, Kenneth Walker
- 56:32Speaker 1: is the guy they're using to He's the bruiser, He's
- 56:34Speaker 1: the guy that is in there on the running place,
- 56:37Speaker 1: but on the passing plays they usually switch it up
- 56:39Speaker 1: to the other back. That was sharbon A, but now
- 56:41Speaker 1: it's gonna be Hallaning. So I think he's gonna get
- 56:44Speaker 1: the majority of the snaps on passing downs, which I
- 56:47Speaker 1: think is good. Especially I think they're gonna have a
- 56:50Speaker 1: lot of passing downs too because the Patriots. Both defenses
- 56:53Speaker 1: in this game are good at stopping the run, especially
- 56:57Speaker 1: the Patriots, So I think Seattle's gonna have to be
- 57:00Speaker 1: doing this repeatedly year. And for a quarterback like Sam Darnold,
- 57:04Speaker 1: where they don't necessarily want him to be taking huge risks,
- 57:07Speaker 1: he can be you know, checking it down, dumping it
- 57:10Speaker 1: off to receivers, you know, just in the flat, whatever
- 57:13Speaker 1: short passes. The beauty of this is basically that we
- 57:15Speaker 1: don't need Halana to even get any yards on this.
- 57:17Speaker 1: We just need him to make two catches for zero,
- 57:21Speaker 1: Like I'm pretty sure that they could be zero yardage
- 57:24Speaker 1: catches and it would still count as receptions. So that's
- 57:27Speaker 1: what we're going with here. Halani, when he's played, he
- 57:30Speaker 1: has typically been able to haul these passes in. They're
- 57:32Speaker 1: very high percentage targets, so he's usually not gonna drop
- 57:35Speaker 1: them because he's gonna be catching them in space, like
- 57:38Speaker 1: in the flat. And if you look at how sharbon
- 57:41Speaker 1: A was used four of his last five games, he
- 57:43Speaker 1: had two plus receptions before he got injured, and then
- 57:47Speaker 1: neither guy did in the charbone injury game in San Francisco.
- 57:51Speaker 1: That game was just out of hand anyway. I think
- 57:53Speaker 1: Seattle just probably started running the football and whatever. And
- 57:56Speaker 1: then in the most recent game, Hallani, did I believe
- 58:01Speaker 1: I have two? I believe he had two receptions. No,
- 58:03Speaker 1: he had three. Excuse me. I had four targets and
- 58:06Speaker 1: three catches in the Rams game. So the guy in
- 58:11Speaker 1: this role for Seattle has hit this in five of
- 58:13Speaker 1: their last seven games, So I like it. We're gonna
- 58:16Speaker 1: do that one. And then the other one that I
- 58:19Speaker 1: gave out was Drake May over nineteen and a half
- 58:21Speaker 1: completions and minus one twenty. You can find twenty out
- 58:25Speaker 1: there at a pick them price as well. Don't know
- 58:28Speaker 1: if it's worth it to get it down a half
- 58:30Speaker 1: point for the minus one twenty. I don't know, man,
- 58:34Speaker 1: I know, looking at what May has done in the playoffs,
- 58:36Speaker 1: this looks like it's never gonna happen. Because I don't
- 58:37Speaker 1: think he's hit it. I think he might have hit
- 58:39Speaker 1: it in the first playoff game, but didn't hit it since.
- 58:42Speaker 1: But that's the whole thing, man. Like you remember the
- 58:45Speaker 1: Denver game, the weather just really came in and started
- 58:48Speaker 1: impacting everything, so they had to change the way they
- 58:50Speaker 1: were playing. That's not gonna happen here. It's also not
- 58:53Speaker 1: gonna be cold like it was in New England. So
- 58:55Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be able to have an offense
- 58:57Speaker 1: that's gonna be able to do this more. But the
- 59:00Speaker 1: the reason why I like this is also that well
- 59:02Speaker 1: May was able to do this more often than not
- 59:04Speaker 1: this season. Like I believe he did this in ten
- 59:06Speaker 1: or eleven games. I think he had he had at
- 59:08Speaker 1: least nineteen I think in eleven games on the season.
- 59:12Speaker 1: I know that's not nineteen and a half, but he
- 59:14Speaker 1: did have I believe he had. He did hit this number,
- 59:17Speaker 1: I believe in nine of the games this season, so
- 59:20Speaker 1: it was still the majority of games. But the beauty
- 59:23Speaker 1: of this is who the defense is. That they're playing Seattle,
- 59:27Speaker 1: And as I show, I showed you the stat muse graphics.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Although I pay for statmus so, I mean I somewhat
- 59:33Speaker 1: recommend it just because when you want to look something
- 59:35Speaker 1: up and have like a full sheet of data, it
- 59:37Speaker 1: does help. It's not really that it is a monthly thing,
- 59:40Speaker 1: but I don't think it's that expensive. I don't know.
- 59:43Speaker 1: It might be like ten a month or something. But
- 59:48Speaker 1: the beauty of this is is the way Seattle plays defense.
- 59:51Speaker 1: There are zone defense, and that means there are holes
- 59:54Speaker 1: in the deepfense with they allow a lot of like short,
- 59:57Speaker 1: high percentage pass plays. And I think that also what
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: the Pacers are gonna want to do here, because I
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be able to run the football
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: terribly effectively against Seattle's defense. But Seattle does give up
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of passes to tight ends,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: so that's gonna help because again that's a high percentage target.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: But they also give up a ton of passes to
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: running backs. So I showed you the graphic. Seattle has
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: given up the most catches to running backs in the
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: NFL this season, and it's all these like low percentage
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: like checkdowns. So it doesn't kill Seattle because they're usually
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: not high yardage pass plays, you know, the checkdowns where
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Seattle does stop them from gaining yards, but they still
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: allow to catch right. So Seattle basically plays the type
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: of defense where they're fine with allowing all these short
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: catches and then they hit you basically immediately. And that's
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: another reason why I like this man, because we don't
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: care about the yardage here. We just need May to
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: be hitting a lot of like high percentage high you know,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: high percentage targets during the game, and I think Seattle's
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: defense is very conducive to that. So that's what we're doing.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Those are the two props man, the two player props,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: and that's it. That's that's the card for today. So
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: those are all the super Bowl props. Once again, the
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: college basketball plays UNC Green's barrow plus the points. Super Bowl.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: We have Patriots plus the points. We have Jilani over
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: one and a half receptions at a bit of minus money,
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: though May over his completions nineteen and a half at
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: minus money. I know these are all minus money, so
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: we need to win three out of four of them
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: to cash this. So that does get a little bit,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: you know, it gets it feels sketchy, but the percentage
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: chance that these things happen I think is still worth it.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: No score in the first six minutes or if you
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: can find six and a half, that's what I would do,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: and then either team was sort of three consecutive times,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I always play it, and then of course, like I did,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: I'm you know I mentioned some of the other ones.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: The length of shortest touchdown to be under one and
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: a half yards is another one of those mind fuck
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: ones where it happens way more often than it doesn't.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: But I added it to my car last year just
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: because of the tush push. I thought it made it
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: even more likely, and it did hit again last year.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: But that's another one where the public is like, that's crazy,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: like you're asking you, like you're telling me I need
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: exactly a one yard touchdown in this game, and it
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: seems like it wouldn't happen. But it actually happens more
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: often than it doesn't because of penalties in the end
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: zone that set up teams at the one yard line.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: So it does happen more often than it doesn't. So
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: there is that one as well. There is another one
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: that I haven't really talked about that is a lot
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: of professionals are on will there be a score in
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: the final two minutes of the first half which is
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: that like I think it's probably at about minus two
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: hundred or something like that. It might be a little
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: bit less than that, but that's another one with the public.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: They don't like to lay this minus money on it,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and they think that's kind of ridiculous, like like that
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: it's not that high of a chance that that'll happen.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: But that's wrong. It happened way more often than it
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: doesn't because that's just the way the game flows. Like
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: the team and has the ball at the end of
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: the half, they're really really trying to score and time
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: managed clock managed to try to get that score at
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: the end of the half, even if it means kicking
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: a field goal. And we have two good kickers in
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: this game too, and decent weather conditions, So you got
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Myers into Bora Goless Aurora Boragless. They're both good kickers, man,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: So that helps that prop as well, the fact that
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: a field goal can get you that prop and you
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: may very well see a long field goal attempt at
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: the end of the first half, and with these kickers,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: they can get that thing done if that's what happens,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: So that is a decent prop as well, even tho
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: they have to lay minus money on it. There is
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: a reason for it. So I figured I would shout
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: that one out as well, and I think that's it.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: You go watch my Super Bowl special. I talked about
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: other props. I talked about the novelty props. I can
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: tell you that I've heard some professionals that handicap the
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Gatoray color and they're going with yellow slash green, and
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: it needs to be all of that combined in one option,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: yellow green. But I don't I don't know why. I
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: don't know what they're thinking is behind that. Because I
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: had said blue, because I think the Patriots have a
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: decent chance to win, and I think if they do win,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: they're gonna replicate what they did in their last Super
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Bowl win and the one where they beat Seattle. Both
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: of those Gatoray colors were blue. So that's what I
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: That was my analysis of it. I don't know where
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: the yellow green is really coming from, although I did
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: say that if Seattle wins, I think they may be
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: using yellow green though, So maybe that's what the theory
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: is there. Maybe it's kind of a way to diversify
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: because I've heard the guy there are guys who like
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: the Patriots in the game, and they're playing like Drake
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: May on MVP basically as their way of playing the
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: the money line on it, because I've mentioned the money
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: line market usually gets swung towards the underdog because the
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: public loves to play money line underdogs because they like
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: to just bet a little to win a lot, even
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: if they're fading that team on the spread. So usually
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: you actually get a decent price on the money line
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: favorite in the Super Bowl. But if you like the
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: money line underdog, you can play Drake May to win
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: the MVP at like plus two forty or so, which
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: is way better than playing the Patriots at like plus
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: one ninety whatever. So that is a way because probably
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: the quarterback's gonna get it. More often than not, the
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: quarterback does get it, does get the MVP. So that's
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: another way of playing the money line of the team
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: that you think is gonna win. But in this case,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: I think some of these guys might be using the
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: yellow green gatorade as a way to play the Seahawks
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: money line, and maybe they're doing that to diversify again
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: because some of those same guys have made to win MVP.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Have the Patriots on the spread, but it might be
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: a way to diversify, and you do want to diversify,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: So that's the other thing, Like you don't want to
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: find like seven different ways of playing one thing and
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: play all of them, you know what I mean, Like
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: you don't want to go like no score first six
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: minutes and under in the first quarter and under in
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: the first have, you know, all those things and just
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: unload on every single one of those, you know what
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: I mean, because they're all kind of the same thing,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: and if one thing goes wrong, it could take all
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: those things out. So you want to kind of diversifying
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: with your props. I think you kind of want to
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: play ones that could hit regardless of the score of
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: the game. So I think that's what we're doing here
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: as well with my player props here. I don't think
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: they really have much of a bearing on who wins
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: and who covers the game and whatever, so and the
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: game flow of props as well don't really, So that's
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: that's that's the way to diversify it as well. Last
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: year they all hit, everything went well, we went five
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: and ohero on the props last year. Don't expect that
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: to happen again, But yeah, we'll see what happens. I
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: don't know if I have anything else I thought that was.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought there was one other thing.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for the MVP. Don't play a running back
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: to win MVP. The running backs almost never win it.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I guess because they're not flashy enough. They're like grinders.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: So yeah, usually it's the quarterback. But if it's not
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: the quarterback, it'll probably be either a wide receiver or
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: a linebacker. So that's another way to look at the
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: the MVP market. Although in this case, because it's two
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: you know, first time quarterbacks in the Super Bowl or whatever,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: unless the winning quarterback just really doesn't have a good performance,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: it still manages to win the game. I think they're
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: gonna give it to the winning quarterback. I mean, we
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: saw like Tom Brady and his first Super Bowl win.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he got it. And his stats were
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: atrocious in that game, and I think he still got it.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure. So, you know, keep an eye
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: off for stuff like that that's gonna do it. I think, man, Eric,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: not Eric, excuse me, definitely not Eric. What's up man?
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: You like the blue Gatorade? Yeah, I mean I think
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: blue Gatorade is a decent look in that one, but
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not really a Gatorade handicapper though, but
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: I could tell you that red has has not occurred
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: since before the year two thousand and recently purple has
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: taken precedence. But I don't know. This particular super Bowl
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: seems like it's not gonna wind up being purple and
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: orange has been big for the last like two decades,
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: but orange has kind of fizzled out and hasn't made
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: that much of an appearance recently, So I don't know.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: And in the history of the Patriots, it's always been
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: no gator it at all. Blue or clear is what
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: the Patriots have used in like all of their Super Bowls,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: you know, since their era started. So purple was better
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: odds for a no than others. Oh, I wasn't looking.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: I haven't seen the yes no. I was just looking
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: at the the multi prop you know, on its own.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean purple purple was like the Chiefs
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: thing for some reason. The Chiefs used purple for multiple
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: their Super Bowls. But I don't think it's gonna be
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: purple in this one. That's gonna do it. Let's get
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: some winslet's the joya, the festivities. Oh and I usually
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: talk about, like, you know, super Bowl food as well.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: I don't know, I usually talk about that too, but
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: I always kind of just say the same thing, man,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I mean for Super Bowl parties. For snack food, I mean,
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: you want something that's gonna be something you can carry
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: around with like a plate basically, and it's not gonna
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: be that much of a mess and you don't have
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: to worry about it too much, so you know what
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: I mean. So wings, and probably just don't overdo the
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: sauce on the wings. Wings are an obvious one. Pizza
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: probably works fine as long as it's not some crazy
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: messy pizza. One more, the slices like compact enough that
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: you can carry it around, maybe like some smaller pizza
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: party pizza basically, you know those ones that are the
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: big squares that are cut into like rectangles. Can carry
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: those around. Not a bad idea. I know a lot
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: of people like nachos. I don't know about the nachos.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. For some reason, I don't
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: think they're that like portable when you're walking around, So
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't love the nacho idea though
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: I like nachos, but I don't know about you know
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: that necessarily unless you want to just hang out like
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: around the snack table for a while and you know,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: and hang out and eat them there, you know, I
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe some other like meats, some like
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: small sausages. Many burgers like sliders and mini hot dogs
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: are actually not a bad idea. You can carry those
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: things around, even though it seems like more of a
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: summer like cookout type of food. But yeah, hell yeah, drumsticks,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: add your own sauce. Yeah, nachos yeah, they're just not
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: portable enough. Sliders are pretty portable. Like, I don't think
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: that's a bad idea at all. Burger sliders man, or
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: like if you know, maybe you have not even sliders,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: but like you can have like some burgers that are
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: like somewhat small and compact. You can still carry those
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: things around. Probably, I don't know, but sliders I think
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: is a decent idea. Then you don't overdo it because
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: if you want to try, you know me, I like
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: to try like basically everything that's on like a spread,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: Like I want to try at least one of everything,
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: just so I have the full picture, the full mix
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: of everything. Uh So having you know, a slider instead
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: of a full sized burger helps me do that without
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: overdoing it, you know. And then you know, I mean,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: and then of course, like beer is probably the obvious
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: uh drink of choice, although as he now, sober Man,
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: I am doing the non alcoholic beers now and I
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: do have a few of the I'll probably have a
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: few of those today. But yeah, the full experience, yes, correct,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess that's gonna do it. I always
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: love talking about food, but then I wind up taking
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: you on the Boston Food tour. That's not what I
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: want to do here, just talking about Super Bowl foods.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: I know, it's all like typical Super Bowl food stuff,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: you know what. Also for the wings, you know what,
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: I would almost maybe even uh prefer boneless because there's
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: less a less of a met like you don't, you know,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: like there are no bones that get left behind, you
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: know what I mean, like bone Obviously the bone in
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: wings have more flavor and whatever. But for a party
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: food or you're gonna be carrying it around and whatever,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: the boneless wings might even make more sense because then
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: you just devour that thing. You don't really have to
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: worry about anything. You just gotta throw your well, I
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: guess either way, you just got to throw the plate away,
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: even with the bones, I guess it doesn't matter that much.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: But but also with the bones, you know you're kind
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: of doing I don't know, you kind of got a
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: two hand. The thing boneless might make it a little
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: bit easier, I don't know. Or like maybe you go
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: like chicken fingers I don't know, and maybe with some
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: some fries in the mix there or something. All right, Uh,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: you know, that's I think that's gonna do it. I guess,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: you know, and then you know the people will have it.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: You know. Some of those like side dishes on the
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: table too. I don't know how well those work out.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I'm gonna put some mac and cheese
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: on my plate and walk around with it. I don't know,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: a potato salad. I don't know. I like those things,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: but I don't know if I'm gonna do that, like
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: walking around with something like that. All right, that's gonna
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: do it. Man. Enjoy all the games and the food
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: and the parties and whatever. I might be a little
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: bit snowed in up here. I know, we got a
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: decent amount of snow yesterday up here. I think it's
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: done now, but we'll see, Like how plowed it is
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: out there. Cheese cubes I like, I mean, I like it.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: I like cheese. If you do that, you probably have
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: to have some like meat, like some cold cut meat
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: on like sticks and whatever, you know what I mean,
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: to go with it, like some have like ham cubes
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: with it, Pepperoni cubes with it. That's not too bad.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: My mom used to make I don't know if she
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: would still do it, but she used to make calzones
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: that were like she made her own calzones with like
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: a breadmaker, and those cal zones she made like pepperoni
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: and cheese, ham and cheese you cut and chicken. I
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: think she made a chicken one at some point too.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: You cut those things up and they're in small enough
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: pieces that they're pretty Those pieces of calzone are pretty transportable,
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: believe it or not, So those are pretty good. A
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: dollar on the octopus, you're gonna get whatever it is,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: eighty bucks out of it. The books, they love the
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: people to play. They want the people to play the
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: octopus man because I think Jalen hurts actually did it once, right,
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: so everybody loves the octopus now, But I don't think
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, man, very very unlikely to happen. You
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: don't get good enough odds on it. Sixty five. I
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: think it's like thirty here if that maybe twenties meatballs, yeah,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: I mean meatballs, depending on how drenched they are in
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: sauce or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna say the
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: smokies like mini like sausages basically, yeah, yeah, on like
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: a stick. Those are easy to eat, carry around, yeah,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: like on like toothpicks. Yeah, yeah, whatever, as long as
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: the meatball isn't, you know, dripping sauce all over the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: for sure. All right, man, that's that's gonna do it.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: And to go along with the nacho nacho chip theme,
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: you could have like a buffalo chicken dip as well,
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: but that kind of gets into the same problem as
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: the nachos, where it's like kind of a messy thing
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: and you kind of have to just eat it while
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: you're standing around the table and then and not walk
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: around with it. But I like buffalo chicken dip, but
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: maybe not for a portable party snack. There that's gonna
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: do it, man. And you gotta have chips out though,
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Like you know, have some chips around. That's kind of
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: a standard. You just munch on those. That's gonna do it.
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: I don't even know what my favorite chip is, really,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: I don't know what. What would I say is it's
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: gotta be like I don't know, like those like jalapeno,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: like kettle cooked chips. That's what I like. That type
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: of thing. It's got crunched to it and it's a
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: little bit spicy. All right, I'm gonna get out of here.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: That's gonna do it. Thanks everybody, Happy super Bowl sun Oh,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: I forgot to take my screen down to Happy super
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. Let's get some wins here, even though the
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: fan base is going to be insufferable if the Patriots
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: actually win, I don't know if I want to deal
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: with it, but let's get it done man. Peace
