- 0:35good. Awesome.
- 0:37Well, let's hope our picks are just as sunny this weekend then.
- 0:39So today we got we got a little little different week set up for
- 0:44this week. So today we're going to preview
- 0:47the Thursday and Friday slate. There are a half a dozen games
- 0:50to look at. We do have 3 bets that we're
- 0:52actually going to give out towards the end of the show.
- 0:54But the main topic for today is, as you know if you've been
- 0:57following us, we made about three dozen or more futures
- 1:01bets, win totals, Heisman conference winners, national
- 1:04championship, things like that. So we're going to kind of give
- 1:06an update of those here as as we've hit the five week mark of
- 1:09the season, there are some adjusted odds here based on what
- 1:12we played. We'll go over those if that is
- 1:15indeed applicable to that particular bet.
- 1:18And then Saturday, we are going to do something we have yet to
- 1:23do on a Saturday and that's a one hour live stream.
- 1:26So this Saturday from 9:00 to 10:00 Eastern, feel free to drop
- 1:30in, share your bets for the day. We will go over all our Saturday
- 1:33bets. That'll be like the regular
- 1:35Thursday show. We'll have our bets breakdown on
- 1:37those games. We'll do the rapid fire segment
- 1:39at the end. So yeah, it'll just be like a
- 1:42regular show. It's just going to be like 30-6
- 1:44hours later than you're used to it.
- 1:45So bring your bets, bring your thoughts, bring your questions,
- 1:47bring your comments, and join us this Saturday morning from 9:00
- 1:51to 10:00 Eastern. So all right, with all that
- 1:53being said, guys, let's take a look at some of our futures.
- 1:57We've got a couple that have cast.
- 1:58We got one that's dead in the water.
- 2:01Some look good, some not so much, but let's get into it with
- 2:04the ACC Pete, we'll start with you since you had the privilege
- 2:09of cashing the first futures bet on the year.
- 2:12We were all yes, exactly. Well, Clemson hating the start,
- 2:17the start the preseason with your hatred was, was well
- 2:22funded. So start reviewing your your ACC
- 2:25futures bet and how we're looking.
- 2:28All pretty good. I mean, Clemson we did beat up
- 2:30pretty good and they started off beautifully for me.
- 2:32As you can see a 2 unit play at Clemson, which is great.
- 2:35They've they've done a fantastic job by sucking this year, which
- 2:39has been absolutely fantastic, which was expected all the way
- 2:41along. So I kind of felt this bet was
- 2:44going to be in the bag pretty early and, and it, it, it was so
- 2:48that was a really good a good bet.
- 2:50My other one that I have is Syracuse under 5 1/2.
- 2:55Yeah, I mean that one gets me a little, a little nervous, right.
- 2:58I need, I guess I need less than three more wins to to get there
- 3:02'cause they are they currently have three wins.
- 3:04I'm semi confident. You know, I think they could
- 3:07beat SMU and or Pitt and maybe BC at home.
- 3:10So there's three games I think they could win.
- 3:12So if they win two of them, I'm good.
- 3:13If they win all three, I'm dead in the water.
- 3:15So that's my thought of that. I'm still relatively confident.
- 3:18Let's say 5050 on that one, but we'll see how it plays out with
- 3:21this schedule. But as I said that last game BC
- 3:23at home, I would expect them to win that.
- 3:26So I got one of two others that I need them to lose either
- 3:30either Pitt or what's my SMU. So we'll see how that plays out,
- 3:34but those are my 2. And Tim, you and I have
- 3:39different bets on the same team and we are looking not as joyous
- 3:44to start out here, but go. Ahead so well thought Belichick
- 3:53would be better actually. So I have a little pull up the
- 3:58remaining schedule. I mean they are.
- 4:01I see what is their conference schedule right now?
- 4:03They are O and 1 I believe. No, no conference games yet.
- 4:08So. No conference games yet.
- 4:09OK, so technically they could might be able to get to the
- 4:13game. I guess who they got, I mean,
- 4:14they got Clemson. They're not that good this year,
- 4:16obviously, thanks to Pete. Or as at least he pointed out,
- 4:20they have a game against Syracuse.
- 4:22I believe Pete's hoping North Carolina takes that one there as
- 4:25well. Yeah, Stanford.
- 4:28I mean, they're winnable games. I mean, it's not like they're
- 4:31playing in Miami. I don't see Miami on there
- 4:33anywhere. I don't see Florida State on
- 4:35there anywhere, anywhere. I mean, who knows?
- 4:39It's not totally dead in the water, but they're taking out a
- 4:42lot of water. They're they're gonna sink
- 4:44eventually, I think. But these next few games,
- 4:48obviously conference play is starting right now.
- 4:50I don't know if you had any other thoughts.
- 4:51Maybe you shot in the dark. Maybe they get better as the
- 4:53year goes on. Well, if you go back to one of
- 4:56my 2 ACC bets, my bet is retained so much water.
- 5:00I don't even know if if there's any hope here.
- 5:03I bet over 7 1/2 hoping that they would at least go three and
- 5:08one in their non conference schedule.
- 5:10They came out of it two and two. Norm you would think all right,
- 5:13one game off they can make that up.
- 5:15But things and those two losses they have look like they have no
- 5:17idea what they're doing out there.
- 5:19Tim, I, I know you bow down to the home of Gio Lopez at least
- 5:23twice a morning. He's not it man.
- 5:26If Max Johnson doesn't come out of this by week at least
- 5:28starting against Clemson, this bet is is pretty much not going
- 5:33to happen here if you are still a believer or if you're even
- 5:38anti North Carolina. The adjusted win total currently
- 5:40sits at 4 1/2. So you know, do with that info,
- 5:45which you will, but my win total bet not looking good.
- 5:50The other bet I made for the ACCI did bet Louisville to win
- 5:56the conference. So their first conference game
- 5:59last week, they gave up seventeen quick points to
- 6:01Pittsburgh, tied it up, gave up ten more quick points to
- 6:04Pittsburgh and then scored 17 to pull out a nice Rd. win.
- 6:07So they're kind of up there near the top one and O win conference
- 6:11play. Taylor Moss not doing as great
- 6:15as I would hope, but he's not at least a train wreck either.
- 6:19So with Clemson already having two conference losses, that
- 6:24certainly helps because initially I think I was looking
- 6:27to see who could Clemson play in the in the title game for the
- 6:31ACC and then maybe do a hedge. But only 8 conference games, you
- 6:35lose 2, it's going to be tough for Clemson to work their way
- 6:38back in there. So Tim, I'm going to be a huge
- 6:42Florida State fan this week because I would love for Miami
- 6:44to pick up a nice conference loss to start with.
- 6:48But yeah, I mean, impressed with the comeback win on the road.
- 6:53They've got Virginia this week and then they go to Miami.
- 6:56They have a buy between those two games.
- 6:58And then their last two conference games are Clemson and
- 7:00SMU. So the schedule's still a little
- 7:02tough, but at least starting out one and O with a road win gives
- 7:07me some hope that that I won't be hating that one, at least
- 7:09until we look at these again in another month or so.
- 7:11So that's where that sits. Oh boy.
- 7:17Here we go. Let's go to the next conference
- 7:18here. Big 10.
- 7:19All right. And you got a couple with the
- 7:21same team. Go ahead and start us out here
- 7:23with. All right, well, you know, I
- 7:26like to swing for defenses. So my big swing for defenses, I
- 7:29have Washington to win the conference because it was plus
- 7:336000. Hopefully they can get there and
- 7:35get to the game and look at a nice little hedge they held Ohio
- 7:40State. I mean, I I expected both teams
- 7:42last week to score, you know, 48 to 41 final, something like
- 7:46that. They did hold them to 24 points.
- 7:50You know, I expected them to score a lot more.
- 7:52The defense did look better. The offense did not look good.
- 7:54They seem to be got to get back to somebody's offensive
- 7:58coordinators in college football that is not really good at play
- 8:00calling. You take away the one thing that
- 8:02they do well and they have nothing to go back on.
- 8:05They they don't really set things up.
- 8:06They kind of just go and give the ball to the, you know, great
- 8:10athlete, you know, the quarterback there.
- 8:12So and just hope he makes a play, which seems to be a lot
- 8:16what a lot of these coordinators seem to do.
- 8:18So I did have them and I also have them for over 7 1/2 wins.
- 8:22We can hopefully pull up their schedule here.
- 8:27Rips. They do have some winnable games
- 8:30on their schedule. I mean, you know, they've got,
- 8:32you know, Michigan on the road, they've got Illinois at home,
- 8:35they can beat Wisconsin, Purdue, UCLA, Maryland.
- 8:40So to get to 7 1/2, and I believe they are currently, I
- 8:46think there are four or four in one right now.
- 8:49I like the way that's looking right now.
- 8:51Three in one. Yeah, I like the way that bet
- 8:53looks. Yeah, I do too.
- 8:55There, there's, there's five winnable games on there.
- 8:57Elite. I like that way that one's
- 8:58going. So, Dan, do you have one?
- 9:02Yeah, you got Indiana, so I can pull.
- 9:04Up this I'm I'm I'm happy with this one here.
- 9:07You know, I got 8 1/2 at a little bit of plus money.
- 9:10Their last two games they they they did quite well against
- 9:14Illinois and then avoided and that down went to Iowa and
- 9:18actually came away with a win there.
- 9:20So they're five and O their win total is adjusted up to 9 1/2
- 9:26and it is juice like -250 to the over at DraftKings.
- 9:30So Vegas is thinking that this is A10 win team here.
- 9:34Of course, I say that going to Oregon, not ideal, but those
- 9:39next three after that certainly looks like this could be an 8 in
- 9:43one team. And then, you know, you want to
- 9:46lose to Penn State, that's fine. But you should be able to handle
- 9:49Wisconsin at home and Purdue on the road.
- 9:51So barring A Mendoza injury, their quarterback, this one
- 9:56looks, this one looks good. Yeah, go Kurt Cignetti.
- 10:00Google him. Google him.
- 10:01Absolutely all. Right, Pete, you got one as well
- 10:06in the Big 10. Well, what one are you looking
- 10:08at? I do.
- 10:09I got Nebraska this one, you know, you know, I don't feel so
- 10:13great about it. I got three wins.
- 10:14I need five more. You look at the schedule, it's
- 10:17possible and I needing five more.
- 10:19I gave myself maybe a 25% probability today of, of, of
- 10:23hitting that. I mean, Michigan State, they can
- 10:25win that game because Michigan State's not great.
- 10:27Maryland, I don't know. Minnesota at Minnesota, probably
- 10:30not. Northwestern, they can win that.
- 10:32USC, I don't know about the Iowa thing.
- 10:36And UCLA they can win. So I think, I mean, I could see
- 10:39three to four wins here remaining.
- 10:43That fifth one could be elusive. It really depends.
- 10:46I mean, they have to be in Michigan State if that, if they
- 10:48don't beat Michigan State that then this is dead as far as I'm
- 10:50concerned. We'll see how that goes.
- 10:52But they win that game, you know, and maybe they pull off a
- 10:54little upset somewhere here. It would be, it'd be good to
- 10:56see, but we'll see. We'll see how it transpires.
- 11:00But you know, I think it's really going to turn pretty
- 11:02quickly in the next couple weeks which direction this goes.
- 11:05I think they got a chance against the UFC at home.
- 11:08Yeah. You want one of the upsets that
- 11:10they pulled. Off their defense is is way
- 11:12better. I mean that that certainly could
- 11:15be one that that they they can win.
- 11:19I think we did good with this conference, yeah.
- 11:23It's not terrible. I mean, the technically those,
- 11:25those all, they don't even look bad five weeks in the season.
- 11:29They all look like they have a decent shot.
- 11:30So yeah, good job. Apparently we should just do a
- 11:33Big 10 show and screw the. Rest up, targeting Big 10
- 11:37winners. Here we go.
- 11:37Targeting Big 10. All right, Big 12 is next.
- 11:41All right, Tim, I'm just going to let you go last because you
- 11:43have 41 bets in this conference. So, Pete, why don't you keep
- 11:47going with yours and let us know where you're sitting currently
- 11:50with your Big 12 futures? Yeah, So Big 12, I'm not so
- 11:54confident in so Kansas over 7 1/2, they've got 3, so I need
- 11:58five more looking across their schedule and I see maybe three
- 12:02or four wins. To me, I think this one is
- 12:05pretty much dead in the water. I just don't see how that
- 12:08schedule is going to play itself out in their favor to get that
- 12:10many wins. I just, I don't see that
- 12:12happening. I'd like to see it, but I don't
- 12:13see it happening. West Virginia.
- 12:15Interesting, right. So over 5 1/2 I've got 2.
- 12:18So I need four more. Hopefully when we are in Florida
- 12:21and what, 2 weeks we're going to see a win there and hopefully
- 12:25I'd like I need to get two more after that.
- 12:28So I I don't know. I mean, I really don't like the
- 12:32way the schedule plays out for them going forward here.
- 12:35I mean, Texas Tech, no Arizona State, no, you know, Colorado at
- 12:39home, sure, maybe Houston, probably not.
- 12:42So so that UCF game and play BYU is not going to happen.
- 12:48I will talk about that in a little bit with our best for
- 12:50this week, but I don't see that happening.
- 12:51They're probably gonna get crushed there.
- 12:53So yeah. So I'm not feeling all that
- 12:57confident here that this is going to turn the right
- 12:58direction unless they get hot. But still, it's a schedule is
- 13:02just not not favoring where I want to go.
- 13:04So I think I'm not totally dead in the water, but I am taking on
- 13:08water and listening to the starboard.
- 13:13What you got, Aaron? I just have one.
- 13:17I bet Oklahoma State under 4 1/2 wins.
- 13:21The five and a half of Super Juice DraftKings dropped it to 4
- 13:241/2 at some plus money. I jumped on this initially.
- 13:28I figured they would go 2 and one in their non conference
- 13:31slate. As we all know, the big twelves
- 13:32got 9 conference games. I mean they did go O and nine in
- 13:35the conference last year. I didn't think they would be
- 13:37that bad, but I figured two and seven added together four and
- 13:40eight team. All right, fine.
- 13:41I'm betting the under the help that I got was they lost at home
- 13:47to Tulsa. So they're currently sitting at
- 13:501:00 and 3:00. I believe they are, yeah, 'cause
- 13:53they lost to Baylor last week. So they're one and three.
- 13:56It's nothing but conference play from here on out.
- 13:59They would need to win four of these games to lose here.
- 14:06They're probably not winning. God, any of them.
- 14:12I'm trying to be generous here looking.
- 14:14Right. Yeah, I mean this one, I feel
- 14:19good about that. I'm just going to say I feel
- 14:22good about this one. Yeah, I don't know where there's
- 14:25two. What was I thinking, thinking
- 14:27they were going to get 2 conference wins.
- 14:29I I don't know where they are guys.
- 14:32But anyway, if you were still very anti Cowboy, their two
- 14:36their win total is 2 1/2 juiced to the under.
- 14:40So again, Vegas is not seeing two wins from here on out and
- 14:46they yeah, I think they're right.
- 14:49I I just don't know. I mean, Arizona's playing good.
- 14:52Houston's playing good since he's playing good.
- 14:57Maybe UCF, but that's on the screw it, this one better cash
- 15:02or I'm just gonna quit. Yeah, it's all right.
- 15:06This one looks good. Where there's no water here.
- 15:08We're we're sitting at the top of the yacht.
- 15:11It hasn't sunk yet. Yeah, I already threw my North
- 15:15Carolina life raft out to get Tim and I out of the out of the
- 15:18drowning. But yeah, this one looks OK.
- 15:20I, I, I I'm happy with where this one currently sits.
- 15:24If it doesn't hit, Pete and I will be joining you next year
- 15:27for IF. It doesn't hit.
- 15:28How ironic would it be that Oklahoma State that already took
- 15:31four years off my life thanks to the 2023 season or somehow their
- 15:35home game against Iowa State, they're sitting at like 4:00 and
- 15:387:00 and I have to sweat this out.
- 15:39I will probably go into some kind of sepsis attack or
- 15:43something and just. It'd be very poetic, very
- 15:44poetic. That would just be ironic.
- 15:47I just thought I was like, wow, just terrible.
- 15:50But anyway, Tim, you got a half a dozen futures bets here, so.
- 15:54I do. What are we looking at?
- 15:55OK, You know, if you could see my computer screen, I've got
- 15:58like all these windows on here like NASA would be like, dude,
- 16:02you need to tone it down a little bit.
- 16:03None of them have my bets. So I'm reading them off of this
- 16:06beautifully done graphic off the top here.
- 16:10So I have Colorado BYU at 8. I got to blow it up here.
- 16:19All right, Utah 50, BYU at 7:50 and to win the conference and
- 16:27Colorado plus 1600, that was my swing for defenses I had them at
- 16:33last year. Was it +4000 or +3000?
- 16:36Yeah, plus 4000 last. Year and it was a log jam ever
- 16:40since. When we started doing this show
- 16:43two years ago, I said the Big 12's a dumpster fire.
- 16:46I'm expecting a log jam at the top as there was last year when
- 16:51I had 4000. Two weeks out.
- 16:53I was off getting offered buyouts and I waited too long.
- 16:56I waited one week too long. I could have got, I believe, 20
- 17:00units if I cashed out and then. Like 2020, like almost 23 I
- 17:06believe. And then I made that bet.
- 17:08For you because of the Dragons had 4000.
- 17:11And then when I when they lost, they lost to Kansas.
- 17:14They were heavily favored against Kansas.
- 17:15I believe it was they lost to Kansas and it went down to like
- 17:189 units. So but but they do offer these
- 17:22things I like, I still like BYU, I still like Utah to win a
- 17:27conference. And So what we can do now, let's
- 17:32see go back here and let's pull up.
- 17:38So I I think the Colorado bets dead.
- 17:41They are not playing well and if they pull up some upsets, that
- 17:46kind of that's going to hurt my other conference bets.
- 17:50So I'm kind of hoping that if this is the one that dies, if it
- 17:52dies, it dies. So Utah, I like the rest of
- 17:57their schedule. They have the one game against
- 17:59BYU, which could be counterproductive, but they have
- 18:03a tough game against Baylor. I think they're going to be
- 18:05there towards the end. They have a really good shot at
- 18:09doing it. I'm just down.
- 18:11I mean, I know. I think I originally predicted
- 18:14Kansas State to win but didn't bet on them.
- 18:16Bet on everybody but the team I picked to win.
- 18:18So did Iowa That that we're not. Looking at that, it's funny how
- 18:21the the thing works and BYUI really like they got a game
- 18:24tonight. We'll get to that later.
- 18:27So oops, now we're going back into our next category.
- 18:32I don't think any of these are if they're going to win, I think
- 18:36let me see if we pull out the standings.
- 18:40So BYU, they got over 7 1/2 wins.
- 18:45Well, they're at four and oh, I like the way that looks right
- 18:46now. I mean, I I'm looking at look at
- 18:48their schedule. I just had it up here a little
- 18:50bit ago. Can I do that?
- 18:53No, I can't. So, but anyway, the Utah over 7
- 18:581/2 wins, they got another four wins left on that schedule as
- 19:03well. I think the win totals are
- 19:05there. It's going to be interesting as
- 19:07we get down to the title, title game.
- 19:11I'm hoping at least one of these teams makes that title game.
- 19:14Yeah, Iowa State being a pain and you got Arizona State also
- 19:18being a pain. So that's where I stand.
- 19:23I I like the futures bets or the win total bets, The conference
- 19:27championship. I'll probably only be able to
- 19:29buy out on one of those. I was planning on hopefully
- 19:32buying out on at least two of them to get down to the last
- 19:35week before the championship game.
- 19:37I was hoping Colorado would have been one of them so I would have
- 19:39got a nice buy out there, but I don't know one a little crazy
- 19:45with the Big 12 guys. What can you say?
- 19:46I'm a I'm a sucker for a dumpster fire.
- 19:48Indeed. Feel your pain man, I I I
- 19:53totally get where you're coming from.
- 19:55I like the BYU 1 though because Utah losing to Texas Tech would
- 19:58have to jump them into standing so yeah.
- 20:01BYU still sitting there undefeated in the conference.
- 20:04So yeah, I I like where you're at with BYU there.
- 20:08Well, why don't we go to the next conference where it just
- 20:11means more guys. It just means more.
- 20:14It means everything. Just means more All right guys,
- 20:17SEC Pete, this is your second cash already so go ahead and
- 20:22start us off. And again, Tim leads the team
- 20:24with 15 futures bets, so. Well, I mean, there's not a
- 20:31whole lot to say. And with the Mississippi State
- 20:33over 3 1/2, they've already got 4.
- 20:35They've been playing well and looking good, which I expected.
- 20:39Not quite to this level, but I'm happy to see they got those wins
- 20:41in. So that was, I believe, my only
- 20:45bet in this conference, correct. So I think you got a Missouri.
- 20:48I'm sorry, I've got Missouri. I'm sorry.
- 20:50I look at my sheet. So let's talk about Missouri.
- 20:52Mississippi State's in the bag. That's a winner, winner chicken
- 20:54dinner. So I'm moving on to Missouri
- 20:56over 6 1/2. They already have 5.
- 20:59I need two more wins and I think it is a tough schedule in front
- 21:03of them, but Mississippi State at home and Arkansas, Arkansas
- 21:07on the road I think are potential wins.
- 21:10So I, I think that this is maybe 5050 chance of hitting here with
- 21:13those two. So we'll see how it plays.
- 21:16Not the prettiest of schedule. If you look look at the schedule
- 21:18and it's not, it is not an easy path in front of them, but I, I
- 21:21do see two more wins for them in front.
- 21:24So I'm still pretty optimistic this could, could come home.
- 21:27I said 5050 on this one. We'll see how it plays out but
- 21:31but so far so good with five wins.
- 21:32So those are my 2. Oklahoma.
- 21:39Yeah, if you want to talk about an ugly ass schedule.
- 21:41So I I bet Oklahoma a little bit of plus money to get at least
- 21:45eight regular season wins. So start of the season went
- 21:51well, they won their first key game against Michigan and then
- 21:55they took care of Auburn. So things were looking good.
- 22:00This win total is currently off the board because the used to be
- 22:04Heisman front runner John Metier decided you know what screwed
- 22:08Aaron in his futures bet at plus money.
- 22:10I'm going to break my throwing hand.
- 22:14So now I need to find what three wins out of this.
- 22:20Wait, what are they four and O 5 and OI don't even know what the
- 22:23hell they are, but oh wait, oh, they got 123.
- 22:26They got eight games left, so they're four and O Kent State,
- 22:30OK, you should probably win that even with the backup QB.
- 22:35So that would get you to five. There is some talk that he might
- 22:41be back the following week to play Texas in the Red River
- 22:43Shootout. I'm not sure I feel super
- 22:45confident about that. But Texas's offense hasn't
- 22:49really been all that so far. So maybe you can get that one.
- 22:53If not, South Carolina's kind of not very good this year.
- 22:58But the rest of that schedule, man, there's a lot of numbers
- 23:02less than 15 on there. So not sure how I feel about
- 23:09that. I mean, Lane Kiffin usually
- 23:10throws a dud in there. Maybe it's when they go to
- 23:12Oklahoma at the end of October. But yeah, nothing on that
- 23:18outside of Kent State really inspires I Kent State, South
- 23:22Carolina gets into 6. So somewhere in that other
- 23:25cluster of. They.
- 23:28Need to find few more wins. LSU could be I mean maybe
- 23:34Missouri, I mean Tennessee struggled against Mississippi
- 23:38State. Maybe I mean it's all going to
- 23:39depend on it. Their defense is going to keep
- 23:41them in in every game and give them a chance.
- 23:44The problem is just if, if we're still using Michael Hawkins, you
- 23:48know, at the end of the month, that guys Ole Miss, I, I'm not
- 23:50going to be happy about this at all.
- 23:52But you know, beating Auburn and Michigan certainly got this bet
- 23:57off on the right foot. And now unfortunately, it fell
- 24:02on the wrong hand. So now I, I, I don't really
- 24:05know. I don't know, I, I felt good
- 24:09until the report came out about the broken hand.
- 24:11I'll just say that, but we'll see.
- 24:15Not as confident as I was two weeks ago on that one.
- 24:18Right. Let me ask you guys a question.
- 24:21What's the most wrong you've ever been?
- 24:25Oh. God ends what time, you ask my
- 24:29wife? It could be like.
- 24:31Like daily you want you want them listed alphabetically or
- 24:35order of importance? Because we we could get lists of
- 24:38those if you want that. I don't think any of them will
- 24:41match to my one future bet, Vanderbilt under 4 1/2 wins.
- 24:46And if you're looking at the standings, they're right up
- 24:48there at the top at 50 after five weeks.
- 24:52So yeah, that one sucked. That one's dead in the water, if
- 24:57you played that, sorry. And why?
- 25:03Dude, I was in agreement and they lost a lot.
- 25:05I didn't think they would be not and I think it's they're they're
- 25:09actually really good like. Now.
- 25:12Everybody's talking about like they're going to beat Alabama
- 25:14again. Hey, they're all paying players
- 25:17now. Everybody can do it.
- 25:18Let's that's. True you.
- 25:20Know I'm sure their academic standards will start to drop a
- 25:24little bit and all of a sudden it starts so I don't even know
- 25:31do they even go to class now or do they show up and play or
- 25:34because they're getting paid I mean that's.
- 25:38Where it got them. So yeah, I'm sure.
- 25:40They did. So all right now I do have a lot
- 25:43of futures bets, but they're mostly with, well, other than
- 25:46the wonderful Vanderbilt bet, they're with Texas A&M.
- 25:51I'm expecting it. I just think this could, it's
- 25:53still looks good. They all look good For right
- 25:56now. We will get, I have Marcel Reed
- 25:59Heisman plus 4000. We'll talk about that a little
- 26:03bit later in the show cause Pete also has a Heisman bet, Texas A
- 26:08and M / 7 1/2 wins. And I have Texas A&M to win the
- 26:11conference and the natty plus 3000 for the natty plus 1400 for
- 26:16the conference. They are, I believe four and O
- 26:20right now could be, but they got to get 7 1/2 wins.
- 26:26I think they got Florida coming up at home.
- 26:29They have South Carolina at home.
- 26:30They have a powerhouse Sanford coming in.
- 26:34So the over bet right there with the win total looks good.
- 26:38They have Texas on the road that hopefully that will have a good
- 26:42effect on the Heisman. Bet you know, Arkansas, LSU on
- 26:47the road. That's going to be a difficult
- 26:49game. I'm not.
- 26:50Doing it, whatever it is. No, it won't.
- 26:52I'm surprised you didn't count that already as a win.
- 26:56Did you watch Arkansas last week?
- 26:58Against the worst. Defense of the nation in Notre
- 27:00Dame, they put up 13 points. Come on.
- 27:05You know, I just, I think they they can get there with one loss
- 27:10that might get them into the into the game.
- 27:13You know, for that, I think they're barring obviously an
- 27:18injury, don't want an injury to anybody.
- 27:20You know, we take that out of it.
- 27:21That's not what we do here, but it's looking good.
- 27:25They're going to be there in the playoff come playoff time.
- 27:29So I like that bet. I don't know if you guys have
- 27:31any thoughts on it. I'm expecting, I think this is
- 27:32going to be like that special year 20 years from now, Like
- 27:34remember that team from 25 that that A&M team, how great they
- 27:38were, blah, blah, blah. So I don't know if you guys have
- 27:41any thoughts. I just, I love the offensive
- 27:42line, the running backs, the front 7 on defense.
- 27:46I'm actually considering betting them this Saturday morning, wait
- 27:51and see what the line is, but I dude, where you're sitting at
- 27:53with all those bets, I love all man.
- 27:55I mean they, they. All look really good.
- 27:57It's. A big year from A&M, Loving A&M.
- 27:59Let me do this. I want to move along and see
- 28:07where are we now. Let's get into the group.
- 28:12Here we go. A fun one.
- 28:14The fun conference here, Yes. Alright, I'm going to go first.
- 28:20Hawaii over 5 1/2 wins. This was, to me, obviously a
- 28:24home play, right? Going to Hawaii and playing
- 28:27there is difficult, and so I was leaning into home games and
- 28:30leaning into the ability for them to beat teams they
- 28:33shouldn't at home because they do that and they do that all the
- 28:35time. So over 5 1/2 they've already
- 28:38got 4, including a nice little Rd. win last week when they shot
- 28:42the Air Force out of the sky, which is fantastic.
- 28:45This bet's licking golden. I like this bet a lot.
- 28:47They've got three more home games.
- 28:51I need two of those to win the bet.
- 28:53So I'm pretty confident they can win two of those.
- 28:55So I like I like what I see here and I think this thing is
- 28:58trending in the right direction. Go rainbow warriors.
- 29:02They they they look they look pretty good last week.
- 29:04So it was kind of fun to watch. This is why UNLV.
- 29:11Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot about that.
- 29:12So, well, not much to say yet. I mean, you know, they're they
- 29:16haven't played a conference game yet.
- 29:17They're foreign over overall. So they they look good.
- 29:19I think they will continue to look good.
- 29:21So they're in play, you know, so until we see a few conference
- 29:24games here and see how that kind of works out a little bit, they
- 29:27they look good. I think they they have a good,
- 29:29good chance. Still in my my opinion hasn't
- 29:31changed in this one. We'll see how it plays out.
- 29:36Darren, what you got? We have pretty much the same.
- 29:40San Jose State San Jose State man, you waited till now to get
- 29:44a kicker after you literally lost two games on last second
- 29:47field goals. You should be 3 and one if you
- 29:49could kick. But no, your 380 LB kicker cost
- 29:52you 2 games and now you're sitting at 1:00 and 3:00.
- 29:55So yeah, this this bet is right on there with my North Carolina
- 29:58win total bet. Apparently 7 1/2 is a horrible
- 30:01number for me to bet, regardless of the team.
- 30:06Yeah, just once. They lost to Central Michigan in
- 30:08the first week. I was like, wow, that that
- 30:10should never happen. And that wasn't even.
- 30:12That's 'cause they had three turnovers in like, the first
- 30:14four drives. Yeah, not, not what I was
- 30:17expecting from San Jose State here.
- 30:21But I mean, looking at that schedule, I mean, you need to go
- 30:24six and two out of that. So you're probably losing to
- 30:29Utah State the way they the way they're playing.
- 30:31You're probably losing to San Diego State the way they're
- 30:34playing. And the fact that you just out
- 30:36and out suck. Yeah, you're probably going to
- 30:38lose one more game before that. So not a fan of where this bet
- 30:42is sitting. Thanks, San Jose Bastards.
- 30:51Well, my bad. San Jose State to win the
- 30:53conference. Well, so far they they look
- 30:58really far down. Doesn't look that good, but
- 31:00their conference record I believe is.
- 31:02Oh and I. They're in an 8 way tie for
- 31:04third. You're still alive.
- 31:05That's right as. Long as they don't have to kick
- 31:08you'll be fine. OK.
- 31:10Perfect. Well, they they're addressing
- 31:11the kicker problem before conference play, so that's
- 31:13always good. They did.
- 31:14They do have a new one, so we'll see what could possibly go
- 31:17wrong. Right.
- 31:20All right, Well, what should we do right here?
- 31:22A little. Yeah, we got a best of the rest.
- 31:25We got a few more. We didn't have as many in the
- 31:26other conferences, but yeah, let's get those out of the way
- 31:29and see where. We're at USA all right, I'll
- 31:36have our bets up. I was going to say I don't
- 31:38remember everything that we did, but yeah, put that slide up
- 31:41there so we can see what we got. Let.
- 31:44Me. See, I don't think I have that
- 31:45slide. Let's go one belt.
- 31:49There it is, best of the rest, you got that slide.
- 31:54But it's not on the one. It's not on the the conferences
- 31:56start with. Start with the two conferences
- 31:59you got there, man. All right, the Sunbelt.
- 32:03That's Pete's conference, Pete. But I'm starting at the bottom
- 32:08here I find. Now we're going with the order
- 32:10of the slides. Ah, fantastic.
- 32:13So, yeah, so Troy, I have here to win the Sunbelts.
- 32:17So they haven't played any conference games yet.
- 32:18Obviously they're about to start this.
- 32:20I don't love the way they look. I don't love the way they're
- 32:22playing. So my confidence in this bet has
- 32:25gone from, I don't know, 25% to 2.5% at this point.
- 32:31Once again, haven't played a conference game.
- 32:32We'll see what happens. But I, I just, I do not like the
- 32:35way they look. I, I, I, I, I don't think, I
- 32:37think this thing is dead, but you know, I could be slightly
- 32:39optimistic going forward. But yeah, has that not not
- 32:43feeling so good about it. So that's that's my bet here.
- 32:46What are you going to do? Heisman last right?
- 32:49Yeah, that'll be on a on A later towards the end of the show, so
- 32:52we'll get to that one later. All right, Darren, Bowling.
- 32:56Oh, you got bowling. Let's do some.
- 32:58Yeah, I have what I have. Southern Miss one and O so far,
- 33:04I believe. Yep, they have that one winning
- 33:05conference play. So, so far, so good.
- 33:07Nothing else to report on that one.
- 33:09That one seems healthy. And I have what you want to go
- 33:14do over to the Mac. Yeah.
- 33:17We got a couple. Toledo believe, what, 8 1/2
- 33:20wins? And I believe they have 3
- 33:23already. So looking at that schedule,
- 33:31that's Bowling Green, that's me, that's your Mac Bat.
- 33:34There we go. I was gonna say I don't see
- 33:36Toledo on here anywhere, so no, on the road to Washington State,
- 33:42they've got Northern Illinois looks tough.
- 33:47I think it's manageable. I'm not going to declare this
- 33:49one dead or on life support by any means.
- 33:52You know, they got Kent State there.
- 33:55You know they got you got your bowling.
- 33:57I. Seem to like where that one is.
- 33:58Man, Miami of Ohio is not playing good ball right now that
- 34:02that all of a sudden became a much more winnable game.
- 34:05Right. And what did you have You had
- 34:07Bowling Green? I had Bowling Green under 6 1/2.
- 34:12They did upset. Well, I don't know if you want
- 34:14to call beating Liberty and upset anymore.
- 34:16Liberty is kind of just they're done.
- 34:18But I mean, Bowling Green still sits at 2:00 and 3:00.
- 34:22They they really are starting over.
- 34:24I mean, you look at the those two home games they got coming
- 34:27up. I mean, they should lose to
- 34:29Toledo, Central Michigan. I don't really know what you're
- 34:31going to get from Central Michigan from week to week, but
- 34:33I can't wait till November when I bet on them and they drive me
- 34:36friggin crazy. You know, Kent State almost beat
- 34:40Buffalo a couple weeks ago. I'm not even going to go out on
- 34:43a limb and give Bowling Green a win on the road at Kent State
- 34:46quite yet. But yeah, I mean, there's what,
- 34:49seven games there? They have to win five of those
- 34:54to get to 7 and five and beat me.
- 34:58So I need 3 losses. Let's just say Toledo, Buffalo,
- 35:03I don't know, maybe I'm going to need another up to, I mean, I
- 35:06need Central Michigan to get him 'cause, you know, having UMass,
- 35:09Akron, you know, and Kent State, I guess on your schedule
- 35:13certainly leads me to believe that they'll get to 5 at least.
- 35:15But yeah, I, I mean, losing to Liberty would have, I would have
- 35:20felt really, really good about that.
- 35:22So sweating it a little, but they'll, they'll blow a key one
- 35:25somewhere to make up for that. So I'm not freaking out about
- 35:27that one yet. OK.
- 35:30And I've got East Carolina, the one the American well before we
- 35:35go to that slide and which other one didn't we not cover Middle
- 35:38Tennessee State at Conference USA?
- 35:42Oh yeah, let's go to Conference USA so I can get my vent out for
- 35:45the week. I know I've been kind of
- 35:47thoroughly already, but. All right, Sir, the floor is
- 35:50yours. Should be.
- 35:51I spent enough time on it bitching about these games.
- 35:55Yeah, so I bet UTEP over 5 1/2 when I thought that Malachi
- 35:59Nelson was going to actually be good when he won the starting
- 36:02job over Skyler Locklear. But congratulations Malachi, you
- 36:06have won my ass award for the week because you are literally
- 36:09the biggest pair of cheeks I've ever seen take a snap from
- 36:12center. How many pick sixes are you
- 36:14going to throw before Scotty Walden benches your ass and
- 36:17gives the job back to Locklear? Hopefully it'll be over the bye
- 36:20week because that schedule is definitely doable where they can
- 36:24still get the six wins, but not with Nelson under center.
- 36:28This team is absolute garbage right now.
- 36:31Dodd fire them all. Congrats Malachi.
- 36:33The weekly ASS award which I just started right now goes to.
- 36:40You I. Mean look at that schedule.
- 36:41I mean, we all know Liberty is ass.
- 36:43Sam Houston's O and four Kenneth thought sucks.
- 36:45Jacksonville sucks, Missouri State sucks, New Mexico State
- 36:48sucks. I mean that there's six wins
- 36:50there. But you know, if Locklear
- 36:52doesn't come out of the buy as as the QB, come on man, this.
- 36:58That's still a six win team right there.
- 37:01But I guess we'll find out. October 8th is what, Wednesday?
- 37:06What's today? Yeah, Wednesday.
- 37:08Beautiful. Conference USA takes over
- 37:10weekdays in October. Get ready 'cause there's going
- 37:12to be much more griping coming out of the show.
- 37:17Sorry Tim, I'm done now. Go ahead.
- 37:19It's all right. Well, my Conference USA pick
- 37:23technically still in 3rd place, but the O and one not a good way
- 37:26to start the conference play and in the American East Carolina
- 37:31want to know in a conference. So both still alive not going to
- 37:35pull up their schedules. I'm liking them both.
- 37:39I still I think Milton TN can come back.
- 37:41You hate to have the early season loss in conference, but
- 37:44you know things happen for a reason.
- 37:50Anything to add there, Peter? No, I'm good for now.
- 37:53Keep rolling. He's got his high a bit.
- 37:56Getting closer to our bets yes, here we go.
- 38:00So there we are. We have our Heisman bet.
- 38:02So I got them both on here. I got Jeremiah Love there at the
- 38:06bottom. I've got what the hell
- 38:10autocorrect, but I read at the top it says reach what is read.
- 38:15So we got 9 touchdowns. The only two I think that are
- 38:20more I've got the the more up in Oregon.
- 38:22I got Mendoza in Indiana highlighted.
- 38:25The other three were kind of they were talking at the
- 38:27preseason. You know, my tears hurts.
- 38:30I kind of took him off. I had to do it to the kid, but I
- 38:34know I like to bet. Plus 4000.
- 38:36I don't know what you're thinking there.
- 38:37Peter for yours. Yeah, I'm not liking mine very
- 38:39much. I mean, he's been Jeremiah's
- 38:41been good, but he hasn't been great.
- 38:44And I think it would require him to be great the rest of this
- 38:47year to have a chance to win this this award, you know, so
- 38:51he's been he's been good. He's been serviceable.
- 38:53I mean, look at his numbers. They're they're fine.
- 38:55They're not eye popping. There's there's nothing, you
- 38:57know, he hasn't thrown the team on his back and carried them to
- 38:59victories. None of the things that you
- 39:01would need to see from a running back to win the Heisman, Simply
- 39:05put. So, you know, unless, you know,
- 39:07unless this thing turns around, unless he becomes the the stud
- 39:10that he is the rest of the rest of this year, then yeah, this
- 39:14this bet is not going anywhere. So unfortunately, I hate to say
- 39:18it, and he has kind of gone the way of Notre Dame not looking
- 39:20all that great either, which has been a problem.
- 39:22So the team doesn't look that great.
- 39:24And it's just it's just hurting him as well.
- 39:27So I think it's just not just him.
- 39:28It's a whole team thing. So yeah, what else is actually
- 39:31hurting him is not so much the Chris trash run defense, it's
- 39:34the fact that Genarium Price has actually had a pretty decent
- 39:37year as well. He's not he's not the backup
- 39:40that we all thought he was probably going to be.
- 39:43We thought it was going to be pretty much a Jeremiah Love run
- 39:45heavy offense, but price has played well.
- 39:48So you know some love stats that were that we were looking for to
- 39:51to help with this bet. Unfortunately, price has has
- 39:55taken some of them, but as long as his defense sucks nuts, he'll
- 39:59still have a chance to put up some numbers.
- 40:01So. Don't, you know, don't hate you.
- 40:04I mean, he's he's, he's the better of the two, but yeah.
- 40:07He is. Yeah.
- 40:09Just I'm Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not sinking this one yet,
- 40:11but. No, I wouldn't either.
- 40:13We're going to need something see something better from the
- 40:15second. You've probably got to get
- 40:16closer to 30 touchdowns. I think for for a running back
- 40:19that's I mean you you. Prorate that out.
- 40:22He's got 5 rushing 3. I mean, that's a 24 touchdown
- 40:25season. I mean that's pretty impressive.
- 40:27But, you know, I'd like to see, you know, 500 yards at this
- 40:33point instead of like, what's that 342?
- 40:35But, you know, when your defense is this bad and your offense is
- 40:40back out there so quickly because they're giving up points
- 40:42and bunches, I mean, who's going to get tired?
- 40:43You've got to have somebody else run the ball.
- 40:46He can't do it all the time. So.
- 40:49And their offense is actually playing real.
- 40:52I'm sorry, CJ Carr, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
- 40:54You are not the problem. But yeah, the problem is, you
- 41:00know, if you play Jeremiah all the time with as many times as
- 41:03the offense has to come back on the field so quickly, yeah, it
- 41:06it hurts a little, but the defense can't possibly suck this
- 41:10bad forever, I hope. And then we'll get a little more
- 41:13to see and love that's. The whole care, right?
- 41:15That's what I'm expecting to say.
- 41:16So we'll see how it plays out. I'm still waiting for people to
- 41:20a lot of it's exposure They got to start talking about Marceau
- 41:23Reed a little bit. They're not even mentioning them
- 41:25at all. Which.
- 41:27Well, you know what? He got A prime time game this
- 41:29week against an impressive Mississippi State team so.
- 41:32Well, there you go, the. Problem that Notre Dame game
- 41:35that they won, he his stats weren't like he was like what,
- 41:3819 of 39 or so? I mean, he wasn't.
- 41:41Just under 300 yards passing, he was close to 300 yards passing.
- 41:47Dude, you and I could throw for over 300 yards on Notre Dame's
- 41:50defense right now. They they don't pressure
- 41:53anybody. They're secondary, all right.
- 41:55I was done after Malachi. L stop it.
- 41:57It sounded like me last year, so I am I'm.
- 42:00Going to start texting you all my Notre Dame gripes.
- 42:04Well, that's it. Let's move into this week there.
- 42:06Anyone do your pick first for tomorrow night?
- 42:09Well, you know what the the the bets that we have are actually
- 42:12the last two games on Friday night.
- 42:14So I'm just going to run through the four games leading up to our
- 42:17bets. Let's see if you guys have any
- 42:19thoughts on these and then we'll wrap it up with our bets.
- 42:21So tonight, if you are really a full blown degenerate, and God
- 42:26bless you if you are, you can watch.
- 42:29Speaking of Conference USA, Owen for Sam Houston laying 2 1/2 on
- 42:33the road at two and two New Mexico State.
- 42:37I went back and forth on this game.
- 42:38I actually was going to bet New Mexico State.
- 42:41Apparently they're top defensive player Tyler Martinez,
- 42:44linebackers out for this game. And then I just kind of looked
- 42:48at it. Why is an O and four team
- 42:50favored on the road? It just seems like Vegas is like
- 42:54please take New Mexico State so when Sam Houston wins by 7, they
- 42:59make a lot of money. But these offenses both stink.
- 43:03These defenses both stink. I'll watch just because I have
- 43:07issues. No thoughts on this game at all.
- 43:10What about you guys? I'd.
- 43:13Rather have dental surgery. I, I tried to look at it, I was
- 43:16like, you know what? I'm I'm out.
- 43:18This is bad. Football, I'm out.
- 43:20Match the remote out the window and it's not exactly.
- 43:24The good thing is it starts at 9:00 eastern which is only like
- 43:2715 minutes before my bedtime so you know I I won't watch more
- 43:30than maybe like the first 7 minutes but I'm hoping.
- 43:33I almost feel like. Alright, that's my goal.
- 43:35I hope so. Yeah, I hope so.
- 43:37And hockey starts on Tuesday, so you got something else.
- 43:40All right, So then Friday we got A5 game slate.
- 43:42So the first game Friday, Charlotte on the road, getting
- 43:4528 1/2 points at South Florida. Any thoughts on this game, guys?
- 43:49Tim, we'll start with you. You like South Florida?
- 43:52I like that bet the way they're playing.
- 43:54So yeah, I'd I'd go South Florida if I had to, but I'm not
- 43:57going to. Yeah, I kicked around.
- 43:59I kicked around the under here, 55 1/2.
- 44:01I thought, yeah, it's pretty, pretty big number.
- 44:03I can see this thing staying under there.
- 44:04I can see a score like, I don't know, 38 to 10 or something like
- 44:08that would not be surprising. So agree with what you just said
- 44:11to him. And yeah, I think the under was
- 44:13enticing. I actually had this rated at a
- 44:14four out of five confidence. So pretty well.
- 44:17I decided not to play it just because I really not interested
- 44:19in this game. But but that said, I think the
- 44:22under probably isn't play here. All right, the next game Friday
- 44:26night, Western Kentucky getting three points on the road at
- 44:30Delaware. The surprising Blue Hens
- 44:33ineligible for the conference title because the NCAA obviously
- 44:36is so smart with their rules and regulations.
- 44:39But Delaware 3 point home favorite over Western Kentucky.
- 44:42Pete, we'll start with you. What do you think?
- 44:44I think. There's going to be a lot of
- 44:46scoring. So over under 61 1/2, I'm not
- 44:48playing anything here, but this is another one where I, you
- 44:51know, I think it's just that number's a little big, you know,
- 44:54So I do expect a, you know, pass heavy game.
- 44:56I expect scoring, you know, so I expect this number to be high.
- 44:59So, you know, I was leaning over here just to me that number was
- 45:03high. And this year I've just not.
- 45:04It's been a really weird year with overs.
- 45:06So I've been struggling with them and it's just watching
- 45:09teams try to chase the number. So I was like, you know, I'm
- 45:12going to stay away. But I still think the overs is
- 45:14potentially in play here. We'll see.
- 45:18Friday night, take the home team.
- 45:22I know that all too well. Not going to revisit it.
- 45:24You don't want to get me going. So all.
- 45:27Right. Well, last week I gave out a
- 45:29couple of money line sprinkles on Auburn and Alabama.
- 45:31Alabama hit. Auburn did not.
- 45:33I I would recommend another one here on Western Kentucky.
- 45:36Give me fuel, give me fire. Give me Maverick, MacGyver,
- 45:39Western Kentucky's QB. Yeah, almost 1500 yards in four
- 45:43games this year. 11 TDs, 2 picks.
- 45:46We're going to see if the stage is too big for Delaware or not.
- 45:49But don't even give me the field goal.
- 45:51Just give me MacGyver. Oh, MacGyver.
- 45:54It's actually McIver. But yeah, I, I I would take West
- 45:59Kentucky. You want to take him with the
- 46:00three? That's cool.
- 46:01You want to take a little sprinkle on the money line?
- 46:04I'm I'm cool with that as well. Keep it going, keep going 'cause
- 46:08this is. Mine.
- 46:09Yeah. So this one, oh wait, no, we got
- 46:12one more for Friday night before we get into ours.
- 46:14New Mexico getting 2 1/2 at San Jose State.
- 46:19I'm Jose. San Jose State screw em take a
- 46:22New Mexico outright money line. Give me the points till San Jose
- 46:27State can kick a field goal of under 32 yards.
- 46:29I guys thoughts on that? Over under, 5858, 1/2.
- 46:37I think it's a big number. I like the under here.
- 46:39I'm not playing it, but I'm definitely leading under in this
- 46:41game. San San Jose State is garbage,
- 46:43so yeah. There's touchdowns or nothing.
- 46:47That's it. So I I kind of like the under
- 46:49here, but I didn't play it. All right, so the Friday slate
- 46:52still has two games remaining. This is where all our bets come
- 46:55in. So I will go first because this
- 46:56is mine. I am taking San Diego State
- 47:00here, 2 units, laying the six points at home against Colorado
- 47:03State. This is kind of a bet on San
- 47:08Diego State defensively, but this is more a fate of whatever
- 47:12it is Colorado State is trying to do offensively.
- 47:15They benched Braden Fowler, Nicolosi, the guy they put into
- 47:18play last week, they were at home, I believe, against
- 47:21Washington State. In 60 minutes of play and time,
- 47:24he led the team to three points. I'm not really sure what's going
- 47:28on with Colorado State, but offensively, they just do not
- 47:30have it together and this is the wrong defense to try and get
- 47:33anything fixed. Jaden Denigal has actually
- 47:36played well for San Diego State. Nobody's going to confuse these
- 47:40guys with Oregon anytime soon. But I mean, this is a team that
- 47:44shut out Cal 34 to nothing. And yes, I know it's Cal, but
- 47:48it's still an ACC team. They should have way better
- 47:50athletes than what San Diego State's got going on San Diego
- 47:52State. Slack them.
- 47:54This defense only giving up 225 yards a game.
- 47:57The next closest Mountain West team is Hawaii at 300.
- 48:01I mean, they're the only Mountain West team allowing
- 48:03under 100 rush yards a game. They're the only Mountain West
- 48:05team allowing under 140 passing yards a game.
- 48:08I mean, this team right now defensively is, is one of the
- 48:12best in the country that nobody is talking about.
- 48:14So the total is low. So that does worry me when I lay
- 48:18a touchdown with with a team like this.
- 48:20Defense is so, so good. And right now, Colorado State's
- 48:24offense is just like in turmoil. So lay the 6th someplace.
- 48:28It may be 6 1/2. I wouldn't go to seven if it
- 48:31goes there. But yeah, give me San Diego
- 48:34State baby minus the six. Beautiful.
- 48:39Yeah, over, under 40 1/2. Everything you said.
- 48:42I agree 100%, which is exactly why I mean, I'm leaning under
- 48:45exactly why I didn't bet it. So I figured it would come back
- 48:47and bite me in the backside, right.
- 48:49Somehow Colorado State will score 30 points or something
- 48:52ridiculous, which I don't think is even possible against.
- 48:54I don't know. I just I got worried about this
- 48:56thing like, you know what, I agree that what I, what I would
- 48:59expect to see is exactly what you said.
- 49:01I would expect the city of state defense to control this game.
- 49:04I'd expect him to win, probably something like, I don't know, 30
- 49:08to 10 or something, but still too close to that over under
- 49:12total of 40 1/2. So I just tried to stay away
- 49:14from it. But I I agree with you all.
- 49:20Right, Pete, the floor is ours now.
- 49:23So do you want your got your boy?
- 49:26What in West Virginia going to play BYU?
- 49:29Yeah, excited. We're going to see my boy in a
- 49:31couple weeks too. I'm excited for this.
- 49:32This is great. So yeah.
- 49:34So going to BYU over under 47 1/2.
- 49:38So BYU is obviously favored by a bunch.
- 49:42I think they're going to win by a bunch.
- 49:44I'm not would not be surprised by that at all.
- 49:47However, so I do like this under at 47 1/2, you know where
- 49:52they're playing. Obviously the altitude is going
- 49:54to create some issues which is going to which which is going to
- 49:59slow the offenses down, especially in the second-half
- 50:01with West Virginia. So I think that's going to be an
- 50:04issue for them. So I expect defenses to be
- 50:07playing, playing well here, particularly BYU.
- 50:11So I think West Virginia is going to have a real difficult
- 50:13time moving the ball consistently.
- 50:15It's going to be a problem for them.
- 50:16So so I think BYU is going to score a lot probably.
- 50:19I mean, I wouldn't be surprised of another like once again, 30
- 50:23to 10 or something like that, or maybe even a little more on BYU
- 50:26side. So not surprising, but still
- 50:28under and I think pretty handily under that 47 1/2.
- 50:31So I feel pretty confident. I gave it a 4 1/2 out of five in
- 50:34terms of my confidence rating for this one.
- 50:36So one unit BYU under West Virginia, BYU under 47 1/2.
- 50:43OK, well, I went with BYU gave 18 1/2 Your boys, his teams are
- 50:48sloppy. So they commit a lot of
- 50:50penalties. They turn the ball over a lot
- 50:52and it's been they're doing that this year.
- 50:55I'm expecting a couple turnovers from West Virginia and on 3rd
- 51:01down, they don't stay on the field that often.
- 51:03So I'm looking at it this way. Plus you got to travel going
- 51:07across going into the altitude, you know, the the turnover rate
- 51:11differentials 8 in favor of BYU time of possession penalties, a
- 51:17lot of penalties with West Virginia and a lot of them seem
- 51:20to be procedural false starts, not getting set right, illegal
- 51:24formation and all that crap. Yeah, I like this one.
- 51:28I yeah, to under. I don't think what we need to
- 51:32score is that much. Maybe final score would be, I
- 51:35don't know, like 35 to 3:35 to 7:00, something like that.
- 51:42But I like BYU big against West Virginia.
- 51:47Any thoughts boys? I agree with everything you both
- 51:51said. They just lost their
- 51:55quarterback. They already lost their running
- 51:57back and one of their wide receivers a few weeks ago.
- 51:59I think BYU actually looks better without Retz laugh as
- 52:02their QB. I I was close to what Pete had
- 52:05said. He said 30 to 10.
- 52:06I was thinking like 31 to 10 and that 10 coming like late in the
- 52:10fourth quarter when BYU was playing, you know, the hot dog
- 52:13Bender, the beer guy and the band leader and eight other
- 52:15schmucks from the audience. I just, yeah, this is.
- 52:19But the good thing is I don't work this Saturday, so I'll be
- 52:21up watching. Well, the quarterback's name is
- 52:24Bear and he wears #47 which is awesome.
- 52:29Just putting that out there. That's after that's is that.
- 52:33Bockmeyer. Is that like Hank Bockmeyer?
- 52:34I don't know what the hell I know.
- 52:35It's bear. I don't bear.
- 52:36Well, that's his real name or not, I don't care.
- 52:38He's wears #47 I'm like, he had a quarterback with 47 on his
- 52:43jersey. That's awesome.
- 52:44I guess he right in the fields right here.
- 52:46Perfect. Ideally Malachi Nelson should
- 52:48transfer to West Virginia and then we just have the biggest 2
- 52:51cheeks combined to make. Can we get like a picture of
- 52:56like some bronze ass cheeks so I can give it out every week on
- 52:59the show because I feel like Malachi Nelson deserves A bronze
- 53:02pair of ass cheeks because. I will look into that for next
- 53:05week or for Saturday morning. We'll unveil it on the live
- 53:08stream. TuneIn thank you Gravis guy 9:00
- 53:10AM. Saturday to see Darren and his
- 53:13bronze ass cheeks. It's going to.
- 53:16Be an old. Malachi must be like French for
- 53:19ass. Okay, wrap it up there and let's
- 53:30go. Yeah, so all right, so again,
- 53:32we'll just do a quick recap. The bets Jimmy'z got BYU lay in
- 53:3518 1/2 over West Virginia. Pete has the BYU West Virginia
- 53:38total under 47 1/2. I have a tune to play on San
- 53:41Diego State -6 join us Saturday 9 to 10 live show previewing our
- 53:48bets, going through the rapid fire segment.
- 53:51Bring your plays, bring your comments, bring your questions,
- 53:53bring your bronze ass cheeks. Bring it all.
- 53:55We'll see you Saturday. Morning.
- 53:56We'll have bronze ass cheeks Saturday morning.
- 53:59Thank you all for listening everybody.
