- 2:12SPEAKER_01: We'll just see some real action, actual football, people hitting each other on purpose, throwing the ball around, running to the end zone.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: And we're gonna see it in person, obviously, at UVA.

- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Um, all day my thing.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Except this came in a mixed mix pack, and it's you know, like you get three that you love, but then there's that fourth one.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: The fourth in the mix pack is peach.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: And so there's some peach something in this all day IPA.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Anyway, less said the better.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: It's not bad.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: I've I've had a few sips, and you know, we're gonna we're gonna get through it, okay?
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: Very nice, very nice.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Mr.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: Franson, how are things?
- 3:03SPEAKER_02: Uh Sprite Zero Chilled is mine one again.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Cherry line flavored.
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: Very nice, very nice.
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: I'm drinking a coconut pineapple LaCroix.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: I don't even like these.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: I think they were on sale.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: I think my tall my wife got them, but you know, it's cold, wet, we'll do the job tonight.
- 3:17SPEAKER_01: Uh, so I was uh watching my three-year-old earlier.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: I got a bit of a headache tonight.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Uh obviously, three-year-olds do three-year-old things.
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: We were walking up the stairs and he um just fighting me.
- 3:26SPEAKER_01: I had to like change his diaper or something, and I was like kind of hugging him kind of close, and he did this like uppercut jump thing, and just like my jaw went like straight into my head.
- 3:36SPEAKER_01: Like, I have still have a headache.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: Like I got my ass kicked by my three-year-old today.
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: I'm seeing stars, yeah, both physically and emotionally.
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: I'm like, I'm very embarrassed right now to get beat up by a three-year-old, my own three-year-old.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: So I'm navigating that tonight.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: But this cold drink is helping me, and obviously, talking about football with you guys makes me feel much better.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: But we're all gonna power through.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: We are gonna power through.
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: It has not been a great Tuesday, but uh we are uh I almost had Wednesday, uh, which means we're home day towards sports, and that's great.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: Uh, tonight um we're gonna talk about uh our new quick six uh pick-up game, which I'll Darren get into, and then we're gonna do some preview of the week zero slate.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: Light slate, as we all know, only eight games.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: So uh we're and frankly, not all of them are particularly interesting, which we'll get into.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: Um, but doesn't matter, football's on, it sure beats uh not watching football.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: So excited for that.
- 4:26SPEAKER_01: Uh with that, uh Darren, I'm gonna take it to you.
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: Show us what we do tonight.
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: What's our new thing?
- 4:31SPEAKER_02: Man, anybody who's to the quick six.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: The quick six is coming.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: So anybody who knows me knows I love playing a little game.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: And so I've got a little game, and it's all gonna be settled on Saturday.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: These are questions, not exactly about um the outcomes of the game or who wins by what, how much, but more like what's what's important, what's going on around the matchup.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: So uh I want us to score some points.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give you guys some multiple choice.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: We're gonna pick some yeses and no's and overs and unders of weird different things.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: And on Sunday, when we wake up, we can see who has won the first quick six.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: And here's a little secret I haven't told you yet.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: I got a prize waiting for the winner of the week zero quick six.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: I hope everybody listening um is able to jump on the Discord.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: We'll post some questions as well and see how you chime in on the quick six.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: But I got six questions for you.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Are you ready?
- 5:32SPEAKER_01: I absolutely let's do this.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: Not gonna tell you what the prize is yet, but it is it is something Mike Blitz podcast related.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: Love it.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: Uh first first place we're gonna go is Las Vegas.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: So you got that, you got a little, you got a little theme music for us here, Michael.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, here we go.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: Now I feel like I'm in Las Vegas.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: Turn it up a little bit if you can.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: Um Memphis is coming to Las Vegas, and Michael, you said this perhaps is a college football playoff eliminator game here in week zero, right?
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: Because you sure did.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and why is that, Michael?
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: Well, this is one of my, yeah, I this was one of my fourth bold predictions.
- 6:15SPEAKER_01: I didn't get to do it, but I am of the mind that UNLV and Memphis are both going to win their conferences, respectively, Mountain West and American, and this actually might have legitimate playoff implications.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: I think these are two teams competing very, very highly for the G6 playoff spot.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so the story of this game is that Charlie Huff is our coach um coming into Memphis for the first year this year, and he has not named a starting quarterback, and that's gonna be true until game time.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: He is keeping it a secret uh from the fans, from the opponents for whatever reason.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: So the question is, guys, very simple, who's gonna start a quarterback?
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: And I'll tell you a little bit about these guys.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: Number one, Air, first name Air.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: We're off to a good start.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Air Noland, 6'2, 214.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: He was the fifth quarterback on the Ohio State Buckeyes roster two years ago.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: And last year he played at South Carolina, where he was the fourth quarterback on their roster.
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: He did play a couple games, and so he has two years of eligibility left.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: Um, he did get in a little bit of action last year for the South Carolina Game Cox, and this is Air Noland.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: Or is it gonna be Marcus Stokes?
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: Marcus Stokes had a heck of a year last year for the West Florida Argonauts, a D2 school in Florida.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Uh, he was the conference offensive player of the year.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: He had a huge stat line last year.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: This is Marcus Stokes.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: He's 6'2, 209, too.
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: He had 30 throwing passing touchdowns.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: He had 10 rushing touchdowns as well.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: These guys are about the same size.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: Um, Marcus Stokes had a lot of action in D2 last year.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Air Noland hasn't seen the field as much, but he did make the roster at Ohio State and South Carolina.
- 8:07SPEAKER_01: That says something.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: Who you think Coach Huff should start?
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: Michael Wade.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Oh, Mark, Mark, hit it.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: Yep, yep, yep.
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: All right, so Air Nolan, lefty, five-star recruit.
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 8:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: But I mean, you you're you're we're talking the difference between potential and results.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: And even if the results are in in D2 at West Florida, Harlan Hill trophy finalist.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: Oh, there's a poll.
- 8:35SPEAKER_02: I mean, hey, it's like my guy Tyson Bajent from Shepard, right?
- 8:38SPEAKER_02: I think he's a D2.
- 8:39SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 8:40SPEAKER_02: My beloved backup quarterback behind uh Mr.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: Caleb Williams.
- 8:45SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna go with Stokes.
- 8:48SPEAKER_02: You're gonna like yeah, diehard Chicago Bears fan over here.
- 8:51SPEAKER_02: Of course, of course, Bajent.
- 8:52SPEAKER_02: If um yeah, I'm gonna go with production over promise.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, good call.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like Stokes a lot here as well.
- 9:00SPEAKER_01: Uh Aaron Owen's clearly the higher ceiling prospect.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: He hasn't figured that out yet.
- 9:03SPEAKER_01: Obviously, being two years at two SEC programs, you would have think he would have seen a little bit more action just given the pedigree he came with.
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: But for Stokes, going on the road playing in Vegas week one, I think they're like six or seven-point dogs, which we'll talk about a little later.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: I think Charlie Huff wants competence.
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: I think he wants guys that can protect the ball.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: I think what he wants people to who can execute.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: Memphis is gonna win this game because their defense is, I think, the better, the best unit on the in the whole game, frankly.
- 9:29SPEAKER_01: And I think he needs a quarterback who's not gonna blow it for him.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with Stokes as well.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, we we should.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna and I'm gonna just come off the right off the top here um and do it.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: And Stokes is my pick as well.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: So I want to score, I want to score points.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't want to throw away a point because I want the uh super secret awesome prize that's gonna come to one of us.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: Uh and if I win this pick six, of course, I'll be keeping it for myself.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: So we got three votes for Stokes on to question number two.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: In Florida State, we got um Florida State Seminoles hosting New Mexico State.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: Now, the spread on this game is 31 and a half points.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: Seminoles.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: So the story here is the Seminoles should dominate the game.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: So says the Vegas Point Spread.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: So my question's about that.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: And when I when I look at you know these domination games, sometimes you get some garbage time touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, the score doesn't always tell the story of the game.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: I think what will tell the story of the game, though, is after three quarters, what will the score?
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: What will the spread be?
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna put that point spread at 28.5.
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: So tell me where you stand on Florida State Seminoles after the third quarter only at 28 and a half points.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: Now, a little bit of context as you think, New Mexico State on the uh good old Lindy Sports ranking list is three from the bottom, ranked number 135 out of 138, one of the easily worst teams in the FCS team.
- 11:15SPEAKER_01: They shouldn't be the FTS.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: They're an FCS team.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: Totally, totally.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: On the other side of that, we got Norvell on the absolute hottest hot seat this year.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: And so players, coaches, coaching staff are probably a little bit nervous.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Um, is Florida State actually gonna come out here and dominate this thing?
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: Or are they gonna be, you know, shaking, shaking in their boots a little bit about how quickly Coach Norvell will get fired this year?
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: So after three quarters, you got uh 28 and a half points.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Are the Seminoles going to cover that spread?
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: Or you got New Mexico.
- 11:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm gonna jump out and take this one.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna give me Florida State to cover.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna look, I'm not gonna look at Gift Force in the mouth.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: Florida State's not gonna get many of these.
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: Mike Norvell's not gonna get many of these because he's not gonna be there for very long.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in fact, this might be the only one.
- 12:05SPEAKER_01: Uh the only thing I can think that I mean, what would help, not a lot, but it would help, would be just a vintage ass whooping from Florida State on anybody.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: And I think that that would make that would keep the wolves at bay for a little while.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: If they look weird, if they look bad, if and they're not clicking, if Mike Norvell's not calling good plays, I think he took over play calling and Gus Malzan retired.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: Like, no, I think they I think Norvell knows how how much trouble he's in, and I think this is a free shot.
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: And I think though, I think they're gonna get Deuce Robinson out there, he's gonna catch a couple balls.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna they should be able to plow right through them.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: I'm expecting all the starters to be out by halftime, but the score to be 35-0 by then.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: So give me I'll take a 20, I'll take Forge to cover.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: 29 points or more at the at the end of the third quarter.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: To cover after three.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: And who cares about what what happens in the fourth quarter?
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: All right, I'm gonna take the other side of that, Mark, to take you off the hook a little bit.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: The other side, I'm gonna go ahead and take um New Mexico State to just keep it close.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: To come out there with something gonna run the the single wishbone something or another that nobody saw coming, and it's gonna be a low-scoring game, and they're gonna have a shot by being within 24 points at the end of three quarters.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: Give me New Mexico State.
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: New Mexico State for just for just for a fun fact, is 25 to 1 to win the conference USA, the worst conference in college football.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: So we are not exactly talking about Ohio State over here.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: So if they're if they're gonna show you, if they're gonna show you something, nobody knows what it is.
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: We're all gonna find out together.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: So you're telling me there's a chance.
- 13:35SPEAKER_02: That's exactly what I'm telling you.
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: There's a chance.
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: Let's call that one in a million talk.
- 13:39SPEAKER_02: Mike, you have fan duel up right now.
- 13:40SPEAKER_02: What's the current line on the game?
- 13:42SPEAKER_02: Is it 30 and a half or 30 and a half?
- 13:44SPEAKER_02: 30 and a half over under 50 and two.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: So that uh so that implies has moved.
- 13:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that implies 31 and a half.
- 13:51SPEAKER_01: That implies Florida State winning 42 to 10, about something somewhere about that range.
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:57SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm also I'm gonna take the under.
- 13:59SPEAKER_02: I think the line is gone.
- 14:00SPEAKER_02: I think Florida State comes out and stumbles in the first quarter.
- 14:03SPEAKER_02: I'd be surprised if they score a touchdown in the first quarter.
- 14:06SPEAKER_02: Um I do think I think that 30 is gonna be close, and I think they're gonna get a garbage, some garbage points in the fourth.
- 14:14SPEAKER_02: But I think when we go into the third quarter, um, I think New Mexico State will.
- 14:18SPEAKER_02: You said 20 and a half.
- 14:20SPEAKER_02: I'm taking the under.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: So New Mexico State to keep it close.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: All right, question number three.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: Go Aggies of Mexico State.
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: San Jose State.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: Speaking of another domination game, we got San Jose State going to uh South uh uh Southern California, uh Trojans.
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: This is another domination, 38 and a half point spread.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: Um, so the question is will USC play more than one quarterback in this game?
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: Are they gonna pull Jaden Maiava at some point?
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Like you just said, Michael, you expect Florida State to dominate, and all the starters get pulled.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: So uh Trojans should dominate this game, I believe in my heart, uh, early and often, and they should be up by much more.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: I would take USC minus whatever number.
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: Uh Jaden Maiava is remember 10th in the Heisman odds right now.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: He's right there with John Mateer, uh, Sam Levitt.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: And so he's a Heisman guy.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: He's golden boy right now, just like Caleb Williams once was a couple years ago.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: San Jose State 120 out of 138 on this Lindy's rankings.
- 15:41SPEAKER_00: They're also in the absolute bargain basement.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: So if domination does happen in uh Southern Cal, will USC play another quarterback?
- 15:52SPEAKER_00: Yes or no?
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: My heart immediately says, of course they will.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: Of course they'll pull another quarterback.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: But like, I neither, you know, like Heisman campaign starting early.
- 16:00SPEAKER_01: He might just hand the ball off 40 times.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: This is a good chance to get their feet wet.
- 16:04SPEAKER_01: USC's got a tough schedule coming.
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: Um, and they they might they want to make sure he's ready to go.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: I'll say he stays in, and I'm gonna kick myself later.
- 16:13SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say only one quarterback plays.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: My Ava goes the whole game.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: My Abba goes the whole game.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: All right, Mark, what you got?
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: I already hate my decision.
- 16:21SPEAKER_02: Darren, you made this call with your heart.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna make this call with my head.
- 16:26SPEAKER_02: There will definitely be two quarterbacks playing in this game.
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: Uh USC's gonna go up big, they're gonna go up early.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: This game's gonna be over at halftime, and um we'll we'll have back, we'll have a backup quarterback in, at least a second backup quarterback in at USC.
- 16:43SPEAKER_00: And we got one vote for each, and I'm with you, Mark Franzen.
- 16:48SPEAKER_00: There will be a second string quarterback in this game for the Trojans.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: Question number four.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh, uh-uh.
- 16:59SPEAKER_00: Let's go to hey, let's go to Charlottesville.
- 17:02SPEAKER_00: We are going to Charlottesville.
- 17:04SPEAKER_01: All right, deal.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: See you Saturday.
- 17:05SPEAKER_00: The old NC State Wolfback is coming to Charlottesville to play the Who's.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: Um, and I like the quarterbacks.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: I love the quarterbacks, honestly.
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't want to put love in the same sentence as the Who's, but I got to love Prabula.
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: I actually love Eli Holstein as well.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: Um Prabula, by the way, so um uh this is crazy.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: Last year he dislocated his ankle uh in October of last year and got wheelchaired off the field, and his ankle was pointing in all kinds of weird directions.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dislocations.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: And get this, he came back and played the last two games of the season.
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: And get this, Bo Prabula uh last year, the last game of the season at Arkansas, he ran for 78 yards and a touchdown about five weeks after a dislocated angle joint.
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: Anyway, Prabula is six foot two, two oh nine, good size.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: On the other side of the ball, CJ Bailey for the Wolfpack.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: He's 6'6, 213, big boy, very un underrated.
- 18:16SPEAKER_00: Uh maybe, maybe he's underrated, maybe he's properly rated, uh, quarterback in the ACC.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: He's he's a heck of a quarterback.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I want to see these guys run.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: We're going to Charlottesville, we're gonna be there 25 rows up, watching these guys.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: I want to see him run.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: So the question is about rushing yards.
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: The projection for Prabula Prabula is about 40 yards of rushing.
- 18:39SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: Um, CJ Bailey, his projection is more like 20 yards based on his um his game average the last year or so.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: Uh, but last year they did play each other, and uh uh CJ Bailey, NC State, ran for 44 yards and two touchdowns.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: So he kind of ran all over UVA last year.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: So let's just um put put those projections in a little blender and spit out an overunder.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: The quarterbacks combine for over or under 70 yards.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: What do you think, guys?
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna take the over because I'm gonna take the over because in college football, sacks count as negative rushing yards, and I think both these offensive lines are gonna do their job.
- 19:21SPEAKER_01: I don't think we're gonna see a lot of sacks.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna see I think we're gonna see the them getting the ball out pretty early, and I think Bo Purbule is gonna have a pre-design, pretty pretty a lot of well-designed scampers, at least a few.
- 19:31SPEAKER_01: I like the all UVA running backs, but I think Purbule's gonna get his chance to tuck it and go a little bit.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: I also stand by what I said in preseason.
- 19:38SPEAKER_01: I think UVA has the second or third best offensive line, the ACC.
- 19:41SPEAKER_01: They're all like fifth, sixth, and seventh year.
- 19:43SPEAKER_01: They're all old men blocking for those guys.
- 19:46SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna see a lot of yards.
- 19:47SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna see a lot of offense in general.
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna go over.
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm thinking there's gotta be at least one.
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: I don't think everyone's gonna get sacked.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: Two, there's gonna be some third and 16 jailbreak, you know.
- 19:59SPEAKER_01: Back that they drop into zone coverage, everyone's got their back to the quarterback, and someone's gonna scamper for 20, 25 yards.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: So I'm I'm over combined.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: No sacks, over 70.
- 20:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm gonna go over 72.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: And the worst possible thing that an away team can do when the home team is feeling the juice is just a quarterback scramble for 50 yards or more, or some sort of crazy busted, busted play that blows the whole thing up.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: I think CJ Bailey can definitely do that.
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: I think he's an underrated quarterback.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: People are talking about him, but I think he's gonna come out as a stud this year.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Stud.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: And he and he wants to prove it this weekend, and he's gonna come out.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: He might cover 70 himself.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: Uh Prabula's gonna have a great, a great rushing game, too.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: He's just a good quarterback.
- 20:48SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 20:49SPEAKER_02: I don't agree with you guys on this one.
- 20:51SPEAKER_02: Why?
- 20:52SPEAKER_02: And here's why.
- 20:53SPEAKER_02: The UVA wide receiver core, they've had they've had their two top two guys transfer out.
- 21:00SPEAKER_02: I think one went to Oklahoma, yeah, and the other guy graduated.
- 21:03SPEAKER_02: They've had two wide receivers hurt in springball.
- 21:07SPEAKER_02: Bo's learning a new offense, and he may scramble, but I don't think he's gonna put up all the yards.
- 21:16SPEAKER_02: On this flip side, something that's something that's crazily rare now in college football is some continuity at the quarterback position, right?
- 21:24SPEAKER_02: And and if CJ's there for his second year, I think he's gonna sit in the pocket.
- 21:29SPEAKER_02: He's got a quick release, he keeps his eyes downfield.
- 21:32SPEAKER_02: I don't think he's gonna need to run.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: God, 70's such a good number, and it's gonna be close.
- 21:37SPEAKER_02: But I'm going to take the under.
- 21:41SPEAKER_02: I'm going to take the under because I think CJ Bailey's gonna stay in the pocket.
- 21:45SPEAKER_02: Um and not have to scramble.
- 21:48SPEAKER_02: And I I can see Bo scrambling because his wide receivers can't get open, but not enough for 70.
- 21:55SPEAKER_02: That's a lot of yards, man.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: Listen, a Fisher Camac and Cam Robinson sack, and that's like minus.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Eight rushing right there.
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: You know, like this, this could if there's if the pass rush, which right now both teams don't really think they have, UVA thinks Fisher Kamak could be that guy, but like NC State, we don't really know.
- 22:11SPEAKER_01: Dave Dorn usually has good defenses, but we don't know.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: The point right now, we're going to this game.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: I think both teams have an undefined pass rush.
- 22:18SPEAKER_01: If it shows up and it does, that happens first time of season, first week of the season all the time.
- 22:23SPEAKER_01: Unexpected things happen.
- 22:24SPEAKER_01: News at 11.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: Like you could see a situation where if each team's giving up a pair of sacks or so, that's way it's heavily negative yards.
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: That's minus 30, 40 yards right there.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: Then you're talking about 100 yards to compensate.
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: So I don't I don't hate the under either, is my point.
- 22:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, with these quarterback rushing yard totals, I mean, those sacks are just killer.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: And you UVA could absolutely sack a scrambling CJ Bailey for 20 yard loss at some point.
- 22:50SPEAKER_00: So that's you know, good call.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: So we got two uh two overs and an under.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: Question number five.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: All right, let's go to Dublin, Ireland.
- 23:07SPEAKER_00: All right, marquee game, I'd say, uh, just because it's in Dublin, Dublin Island.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: A vivo stadium.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: Aviva Stadium.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: Uh, we're going noon kickoff local.
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: Uh TCU versus UNC.
- 23:22SPEAKER_00: And what happens every year we watch this game?
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: It rains like crazy.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're calling for more than they're calling for like British Open style.
- 23:29SPEAKER_01: It's like a supposed to be a bog.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: I've been watching.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: It's foggy.
- 23:33SPEAKER_00: The grass is grown pretty high over there for this reason.
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: And it's rainy and it's slushy.
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: So the uh the spread here is 7.5 points TCU, touchdown TCU.
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: The total is pretty low, 47 and a half points.
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: So the Vegas odds makers are saying this score is a gonna end up around 27 to 20, 28 to 20, something like that.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: My question for you is will either team score over 27.5?
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna put an over-under for either team to score 28 or more, yes or no.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: Uh they played each other uh last year, of course, in the opener.
- 24:21SPEAKER_01: Jordan's Jordan's opening game.
- 24:25SPEAKER_00: Bill Belichick and Jordan.
- 24:28SPEAKER_00: Uh and the score came out UNC uh 7-0 right off the bat.
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: UNC comes down, marches down the field, and scores right away.
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: Final score, TCU 48-14.
- 24:39SPEAKER_00: And so these two teams know each other a little bit, uh, but this time they're taking a plane across the pond into the rainy Dublin, Ireland, Aviva Stadium.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: Will either team score over 27 and a half points?
- 25:35SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say yes.
- 25:36SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say there's gonna be a defensive score.
- 25:37SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say there's gonna be some sloppy games.
- 25:39SPEAKER_01: I I think there's what someone's gonna someone's gonna figure out something on offense.
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: And I actually I actually kind of think it's gonna be North Carolina.
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: I kind of think they're gonna get the upside here.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna take the over.
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna I think a defensive score.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: I see it grinded out.
- 25:53SPEAKER_01: Four touchdowns.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: I don't think they're gonna kick many field goals.
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna be going, I think they'll be doing long, sustained uh rushing play drives.
- 25:59SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna I think we're gonna see four touchdowns.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: One team will get in the end zone four times.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say over.
- 26:05SPEAKER_02: Mark.
- 26:08SPEAKER_02: I'm going.
- 26:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm gonna take the over too.
- 26:12SPEAKER_02: I think I'm gonna take the over.
- 26:13SPEAKER_02: We've got uh the Harvard transfer, Jaden Craig coming into TCU.
- 26:18SPEAKER_02: The guy, I was watching some highlights.
- 26:20SPEAKER_02: The guy's got a he releases it fast.
- 26:22SPEAKER_02: He might not have the strongest arm in the world, but the guy, I mean, he he out threw uh Ryan Fitz magic and all of his passing yards at Harvard.
- 26:30SPEAKER_02: I think he comes out guns blazing and with Belichick's son on medical leave, so they don't have a defensive, you know, their defensive coordinators down at UNC.
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: I I see TCU putting up some points here.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Guys, awesome because you're both crazy.
- 26:45SPEAKER_00: This is going way under.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: No way, no way.
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: A team scores four touchdowns.
- 26:51SPEAKER_00: There's not gonna be a touchdown in the first half, I don't think.
- 26:54SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be nine to six and a cloud of dust.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, mud.
- 26:58SPEAKER_01: Mud.
- 26:59SPEAKER_00: No, I'll give me the under.
- 27:00SPEAKER_00: I thought I put the line too high, so kudos to me.
- 27:03SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, no team score.
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be a mess, and people are gonna start saying, Should we be playing international college football games?
- 27:12SPEAKER_00: And smart guys like you and me are gonna say, No, get these things back on campus.
- 27:17SPEAKER_00: This is dumb.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: That's true.
- 27:19SPEAKER_00: All right, five questions down, sixth question.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: Thanks for playing along, ladies and gentlemen, as well by the to the uh the first inaugural quick six of the Mike Blitz podcast.
- 27:35SPEAKER_00: Question number six, back in Charlottesville.
- 27:38SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be there.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: Um one of the one of the major events of the day is gonna be DJ Diesel coming to campus.
- 27:48SPEAKER_00: This is Shaquille O'Neal coming to DJ a lawn party on the campus of UVA at 1 p.m.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: Now I didn't know this, but I found out today it's for students only.
- 28:02SPEAKER_01: It's in the student section, it's below the uprights.
- 28:04SPEAKER_00: It's in the hold on.
- 28:07SPEAKER_00: Here's what I think I learned.
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be on the observation hill, oh hill, something like that.
- 28:14SPEAKER_00: Sorry, UVA fans, if I got that wrong, but it's gonna be on a student lawn um a block or two away from the stadium, honestly.
- 28:22SPEAKER_01: Oh, I thought Observation Hill was the student section.
- 28:25SPEAKER_00: No, so it's on campus, Michael.
- 28:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: We were talking about this, we might see him.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: So my question is, are we so we're not gonna be able to go?
- 28:33SPEAKER_00: So it's at one o'clock.
- 28:34SPEAKER_00: We cannot get into the lawn party at one for students only.
- 28:39SPEAKER_00: The question is, are we gonna catch a visual glimpse of Shaquille O'Neal somehow, some way on Saturday, start to finish?
- 28:49SPEAKER_00: Is he gonna come in the stadium, maybe, stand on the sidelines?
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: Are we gonna walk down the street at one or two o'clock and like peek onto Observation Hill and see him a mile away standing up on a stage somewhere with a bunch of fog machines and stuff all over him?
- 29:07SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: So the question is yes or no?
- 29:09SPEAKER_00: Will we get a visual, visual confirmation of DJ Diesel Shaquille O'Neal on Saturday?
- 29:16SPEAKER_00: Mark, what you got?
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
- 29:17SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, Mark.
- 29:18SPEAKER_02: I say not only are we gonna see him, I think Mike's gonna have an LSU shirt on underneath.
- 29:23SPEAKER_02: They're gonna glock eyes, they're gonna sit there and talk about some crawfish et touffe.
- 29:29SPEAKER_02: And oh my god, I think Mike and Shaq could get a picture together during uh during some time on campus in Charlottesville this weekend.
- 29:37SPEAKER_02: Heck yeah, we're gonna not only see him, I think there's gonna be photo documentation of it in order to show it to him.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: Interacting.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: Oh man, all right.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: So obviously, we're not getting I'm disappointed.
- 29:48SPEAKER_01: I thought he was I I was convinced he was in the stadium, so I didn't realize that.
- 29:52SPEAKER_01: It's good intel, I figured it out.
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: But that said, I cannot imagine him being there and not sitting on the stands for a while.
- 30:00SPEAKER_01: He's gonna he is going, he's gonna be on the UVA sidelines, he's gonna be sitting around the 10-yard line.
- 30:05SPEAKER_01: At some point, they're gonna say, ladies and gentlemen, DJ Diesel, and he's gonna give a little wave to the crowd.
- 30:10SPEAKER_01: I know he has no affiliation to UVA or NC State, but there's no way he came this far.
- 30:15SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be national television.
- 30:16SPEAKER_01: Like he's he'll he's going to the heel.
- 30:18SPEAKER_01: We're gonna see him on the sideline.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: That's my that's my that's what and I think in front of us, and instead of section 129.
- 30:24SPEAKER_01: That's my prediction.
- 30:25SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say yes as well.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: I like your energy.
- 30:27SPEAKER_00: I feel I feel it.
- 30:29SPEAKER_00: I hear what you're saying, but honestly, I gotta say, there is a very decent chance that he's gonna pack up his uh turntables and hit the old tour bus and head out of town because DJ Diesel is like on tour across America.
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: It's kind of strange to see what Shaquille is doing with this DJ Diesel thing.
- 30:47SPEAKER_00: He's playing campuses and shows all over the place.
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: He might just be up and out of there at 3 p.m.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: He's like wheels up.
- 30:55SPEAKER_00: So I'll go no.
- 30:57SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't think you know, as much as I want to see what a seven foot three monster looks like um in person.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I just I'm just gonna go ahead and go no on DJ Diesel.
- 31:12SPEAKER_02: All right, I'm gonna make it my goal in life that day to ensure that you see him.
- 31:16SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 31:17SPEAKER_01: I have seen him, I've seen him at an LSU game before.
- 31:19SPEAKER_01: And you and I I that when I was at that game, I was in the nosebleeds, I wasn't down low, and I I could see him from where I was.
- 31:26SPEAKER_01: Like that's that that's that that massive human being.
- 31:28SPEAKER_01: That's that's Shaquille O'Neal.
- 31:29SPEAKER_01: You could tell it's impossible to miss.
- 31:31SPEAKER_00: Be sure to have some yellow on underneath your shirt, Michael.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: It's a good idea.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: Just in case I think Mark has spoken it into being.
- 31:37SPEAKER_01: That's a good idea.
- 31:38SPEAKER_01: I like that.
- 31:39SPEAKER_01: Good stuff.
- 31:39SPEAKER_00: That's the quick six for for week zero.
- 31:41SPEAKER_00: Thanks for playing, boys.
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: Awesome, good stuff.
- 31:43SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Darren.
- 31:44SPEAKER_00: Quick six all around.
- 31:45SPEAKER_02: Darren, wonderful work, wonderful work.
- 31:47SPEAKER_01: Good stuff.
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: All right, folks.
- 31:49SPEAKER_01: Uh, let's time for some picks and previews.
- 31:51SPEAKER_01: What we're gonna do now is we're gonna kind of work through the uh week zero slate, the menu, so to speak.
- 31:56SPEAKER_01: A little tasting here and there.
- 31:57SPEAKER_01: Um, again, kind of slim pickets as we know.
- 31:59SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh we'll give you our kind of our insights, opinions, where we are, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna try and decide if we can get some uh some agreement on sides, on totals on bets.
- 32:10SPEAKER_01: What we do as we did in previous uh iterations, whatever we agree on, we'll put into a bet, a parlay, multiple legs.
- 32:17SPEAKER_01: We will that'll be a parlay that we will link in the chat and the um and on Discord.
- 32:22SPEAKER_01: So if you want to tail with us, you can give us a chance to uh agree or disagree.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: Obviously, of course, if you hate our picks, let us know.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: We love all kinds of feedback.
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: So let's start with the main event, or at least what I think is gonna be the main event.
- 32:32SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, a game that we're not gonna be watching.
- 32:33SPEAKER_01: We'll be too busy having fun in Charlottesville.
- 32:35SPEAKER_01: North Carolina versus first TCU of Viva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland, kickoff is noon, eastern line right now.
- 32:41SPEAKER_01: TCU minus seven and a half over under 47 and a half.
- 32:45SPEAKER_01: Um, couple things I like about this game.
- 32:47SPEAKER_01: Uh UNC revamped their offensive line, big offensive line.
- 32:51SPEAKER_01: Bobby Petrino, which we talked about uh previous week ago, really good offensive guy.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: He's really good at running the ball.
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: Uh, I I like the running back June a whole lot as well.
- 33:00SPEAKER_01: Um, I think I think uh Belichick knows he has to play good defense and keep it close.
- 33:05SPEAKER_01: I like UNC plus seven and a half.
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: Uh, I think between the rain, the bog, unfamiliar, sloppy football, wet football.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: Uh, just I just like taking points this early in the week.
- 33:17SPEAKER_01: I don't think anybody's earned.
- 33:18SPEAKER_01: I mean, obviously, I I know that USC is a 39-point favorite for a good reason, but no one's earned these spreads yet.
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: I think this is a classic chance where we might be talking about two 50-50 squads.
- 33:28SPEAKER_01: For all we know, you UNC might be better, TC might be worse.
- 33:30SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna take points.
- 33:31SPEAKER_01: So I'm I'm thinking UV UNC plus seven and a half.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: What do you guys got on this one?
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: So I like the idea of taking points.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: I don't like it though.
- 33:42SPEAKER_00: I don't like this particular game just because I think the under is such a play.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: That was my second play.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: You can talk me to that.
- 33:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so you know, I'll definitely give give some confidence on the under.
- 33:54SPEAKER_00: But as far as seven and a half points, I mean I see a nine to eighteen game here or something, you know, something real ugly in the rain and the mud, 20 to 10, um, seven and a half.
- 34:08SPEAKER_00: I just don't have any confidence in North Carolina.
- 34:10SPEAKER_00: I think they're the laughing stock.
- 34:12SPEAKER_00: I think that quarterback has a little bit of juice, but it's gonna not gonna happen in week one or week zero.
- 34:18SPEAKER_00: You know, he hadn't been he hadn't been working with this team long enough.
- 34:22SPEAKER_00: They got off a plane in Ireland and everybody's you know, half drunk on Guinness from breakfast.
- 34:28SPEAKER_00: That's just how they do there.
- 34:30SPEAKER_00: So I don't like it.
- 34:31SPEAKER_02: All right, Mark.
- 34:33SPEAKER_02: Uh as long as uh Billy Edwards' family doesn't fight in a bar after the game, like uh Avery Johnson's family from K-State last year.
- 34:41SPEAKER_02: Never forget.
- 34:42SPEAKER_02: No, I mean you you had me.
- 34:44SPEAKER_02: I mean, the quick six apart from this, you had me with the weather.
- 34:49unknown: Yep.
- 34:49SPEAKER_02: You had me with the long turf, you had me with like the inability to score.
- 34:55SPEAKER_02: I also think I think a new quarterback, especially a former Wisconsin quarterback, I believe Billy Edwards Jr.
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: started there.
- 35:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I don't trust Wisconsin quarterbacks.
- 35:05SPEAKER_01: He was good at Maryland, went to Wisconsin, got hurt, then went back to UNC.
- 35:10SPEAKER_02: I thought he started, all right.
- 35:11SPEAKER_02: I thought he started at Wisconsin, then went to Maryland and got hurt.
- 35:14SPEAKER_02: But heck, either way, Maryland quarterbacks, Wisconsin quarterbacks in their first game in another country.
- 35:21SPEAKER_02: I man, you guys sold me on the under there.
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: Um I I I do think TCU's good.
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: I do think I like my boy, uh I like my boy Jaden Craig from Havid.
- 35:32SPEAKER_02: Um I think TCU is gonna put up some points.
- 35:36SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't think UNC covers, but I would definitely take the under.
- 35:40SPEAKER_01: All right, let's let's let's just play the under then.
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: I think everyone's on board with that.
- 35:43SPEAKER_01: Let's that's good stuff.
- 35:44SPEAKER_02: Loving it.
- 35:44SPEAKER_01: Loving it.
- 35:45SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 35:45SPEAKER_01: All right, moving on.
- 35:46SPEAKER_01: And what's the under app?
- 35:47SPEAKER_02: Give me the number right now.
- 35:48SPEAKER_02: 47 and a half.
- 35:49SPEAKER_02: And you have that good to you're good to what number on that one?
- 35:52SPEAKER_02: How low how how good are you willing to go if the if the line moves in the phone?
- 35:56SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna put I'm gonna put this in the second we the second we log off.
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but people go to our Discord and want to join us in the line moves.
- 36:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, point taken.
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: Um, 45 and a half, two points.
- 36:07SPEAKER_01: Okay, I think 45, six touchdowns and a field goal.
- 36:09SPEAKER_01: I think I would do.
- 36:10SPEAKER_01: Um, I think a sloppy, wet, uninspiring game is certainly in the cards for both teams, frankly.
- 36:16SPEAKER_01: Week one in Ireland in the soup.
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: So I think that's I think that's fair.
- 36:20SPEAKER_01: Uh all right, good stuff.
- 36:21SPEAKER_01: Let's move on to North Dakota State.
- 36:23SPEAKER_01: Uh Jacksonville State, uh, which is I think I think they're the Coosa.
- 36:27SPEAKER_01: They're playing North Dakota State.
- 36:28SPEAKER_01: North Dakota State's first game in the FBS.
- 36:30SPEAKER_01: But those of you who don't know, uh, North Dakota State, the bison, they uh play in the Fargo Dome, a crazy raucous environment.
- 36:37SPEAKER_01: They have won like 75 of the last 78 FCS national championships, been absolutely dominant that level.
- 36:44SPEAKER_01: They're making the jump uh this year.
- 36:46SPEAKER_01: Um, they are minus seven and a half at home versus Jacksonville State.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: Jacksonville State's pretty good.
- 36:50SPEAKER_01: I think they have a chance to compete in their conference, but North Dakota State is going to immediately establish themselves as the next JMU, a team they regularly beat back on their FCS.
- 37:00SPEAKER_01: I think North Dakota State is an excellent football team.
- 37:03SPEAKER_01: Their FCS tag doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
- 37:05SPEAKER_01: I got North Dakota State at home, first FBS.
- 37:09SPEAKER_01: The game is going to be raucous.
- 37:11SPEAKER_01: They are so excited to make this jump.
- 37:12SPEAKER_01: They've been waiting for it for a decade.
- 37:14SPEAKER_01: And I like Jacksonville State in general, even though they lost their best running back, Cam Cook, who's now playing for West Virginia.
- 37:20SPEAKER_01: This is just a bad spot for them.
- 37:21SPEAKER_01: Uh, give me the bison FBS inaugural game, big time win by 13.
- 37:26SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
- 37:27SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: Cover the seven and a half.
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: 100% with you.
- 37:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, seven, seven points, eight, nine, ten.
- 37:34SPEAKER_00: Uh, the line opened at 10, which is weird.
- 37:37SPEAKER_00: It got bought down with all those points for by Jack.
- 37:40SPEAKER_01: That is the that is the fly in the ointment.
- 37:41SPEAKER_01: I don't like that.
- 37:42SPEAKER_01: That's usually a red fan.
- 37:43SPEAKER_00: Now we're now we're on the buyback side, and I'm just with you that it's just gonna be juiced.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: It's gonna, we're in the Fargo Dome, like you said.
- 37:50SPEAKER_00: We're in a an indoor environment, and these folks are like welcome to the big time.
- 37:57SPEAKER_00: Uh, every fan, coach, player from North Dakota State is just gonna be juiced to death, and they're just gonna want to score, score, score more, more, more.
- 38:05SPEAKER_00: You know, here we are.
- 38:07SPEAKER_00: It's a coming out party.
- 38:08SPEAKER_00: So give me the give me the cover.
- 38:11SPEAKER_02: Mark, I mean, I I 100% agree with you guys, and I think Jacksonville State's a good team.
- 38:16SPEAKER_02: Um, I I really enjoyed watching some of their games last year, but I think the North Dakota State fans are gonna be the they're gonna be the X Factor in this game.
- 38:28SPEAKER_02: That place was nuts when they were when they were living the high life in FCS.
- 38:33SPEAKER_02: Now, I think some of the fan base become a little complacent when you win 10 years in a row, you just have different expectations.
- 38:39SPEAKER_02: But like to step up now, I think that place is gonna be a really hard place to win games.
- 38:45SPEAKER_02: And uh, I'm really excited to see what North Dakota State can do.
- 38:49SPEAKER_02: And I agree, I I think 10 plus they're gonna win that game.
- 38:53SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 38:53SPEAKER_01: Any anybody, any anything else on that one you mean to talk about?
- 38:57SPEAKER_00: Go bison.
- 38:58SPEAKER_00: Go bison.
- 38:59SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the big times.
- 38:59SPEAKER_00: Very cool.
- 39:00SPEAKER_01: All right, let's talk about the next one.
- 39:01SPEAKER_01: Memphis UNLV.
- 39:02SPEAKER_01: Uh Memphis at UNLV in Vegas.
- 39:05SPEAKER_01: Uh, Memphis plus four and a half, over under is 56 and a half.
- 39:08SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was higher.
- 39:10SPEAKER_01: Actually, it got bet down a little bit.
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: Some action came in on came in on Memphis.
- 39:14SPEAKER_01: Um, you and Memphis has a good defense.
- 39:16SPEAKER_01: So, this is Charlie Huff's third team in third three years.
- 39:18SPEAKER_01: He was at um uh Marshall, uh, took his pretty much all the best players and whole team to Southern Myths last year, continued his winning ways there, went, took his uh all of his talent with him from Southern Myths to Memphis.
- 39:29SPEAKER_01: And there's a player on uh Memphis's defense defensive line, last name Tap.
- 39:33SPEAKER_01: He is an SEC defensive tackle.
- 39:35SPEAKER_01: He is awesome.
- 39:36SPEAKER_01: He's going to be a huge problem for UNLV.
- 39:38SPEAKER_01: Clog up the middle.
- 39:39SPEAKER_01: Memphis, I think, has the best defense in the American, maybe in all of G6.
- 39:43SPEAKER_01: Uh, it's one of my kind of early quiet takes.
- 39:46SPEAKER_01: I'm half big.
- 39:47SPEAKER_01: I'm still kind of working on.
- 39:48SPEAKER_01: I think Memphis is a lot better than people think.
- 39:50SPEAKER_01: Uh, I I like Charles, I like Charles off a lot.
- 39:53SPEAKER_01: Dan Mullen's like one of my favorite coaches.
- 39:55SPEAKER_01: Love we did in Mississippi State and Florida for as well.
- 39:58SPEAKER_01: His two quarterback choices.
- 39:59SPEAKER_01: Do you guys know who who UNLV's quarterbacks are?
- 40:01SPEAKER_02: Jackson, Arnold, and uh Orgy.
- 40:04SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's Orgy, who might be the worst the worst forward passer I've ever seen in the history of football.
- 40:08SPEAKER_01: He used to play for Michigan.
- 40:10SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was supposed to be a fight last year between Calandria and Orgy, and Calandria obviously took the job.
- 40:14SPEAKER_01: Now he's in Nebraska, he's moved on.
- 40:16SPEAKER_01: And Jackson Arnold has been bad and then bad and then bad again.
- 40:20SPEAKER_01: He was bad at Oklahoma, he was bad at Auburn.
- 40:23SPEAKER_01: Again, I really do like Dan Mullen.
- 40:25SPEAKER_01: I've got a lot of faith in him.
- 40:26SPEAKER_01: I think he's one of the better coaches.
- 40:27SPEAKER_01: He's probably on his way back to the P4 at some point.
- 40:29SPEAKER_01: I don't think he's any good.
- 40:31SPEAKER_01: I like Memphis plus four and a half.
- 40:33SPEAKER_01: You could even talk to me to them winning outright at plus 146 if you were really feeling it.
- 40:38SPEAKER_01: So that's I've made my case.
- 40:39SPEAKER_01: What do you guys think?
- 40:42SPEAKER_02: Mark.
- 40:43SPEAKER_02: I followed UNLV last year.
- 40:45SPEAKER_02: Um, I I put money early in the year for them to win.
- 40:50SPEAKER_02: I think I put them in to win the conference, and I think they ended up losing the conference championship game, if I'm right.
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: Somebody else to fact-check me there in the comments.
- 40:59SPEAKER_02: But um, I agree with you.
- 41:00SPEAKER_02: I think the defensive coordinator at ULV, Paul Gunther, is is hot garbage.
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: Um and and I uh Mike, I think you sold me on this Memphis team.
- 41:10SPEAKER_02: I was I was uh a little here nor there, but I like as we start talking about that West Florida kid coming up and starting.
- 41:18SPEAKER_02: Now, they have not named a starter yet, but I also think this is pretty much head games for like you can't game plan against this if we don't tell you who's gonna start.
- 41:26SPEAKER_02: Um, but I I'm gonna jump on the Memphis bandwagon.
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: Marcus Stokes coming out of the D2 ranks, West Florida University, I believe it is.
- 41:35SPEAKER_00: Also player of the year.
- 41:37SPEAKER_00: So um yeah, I'm with you.
- 41:40SPEAKER_00: I think there's too much public love on the UNLV rebs.
- 41:44SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah.
- 41:45SPEAKER_01: Uh so so can I talk you can I talk you into winning or do you want the four and a half?
- 41:51SPEAKER_00: I th I like Memphis uh outright.
- 41:54SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 41:55SPEAKER_00: I like uh you know the points fine, but I think I think it's worth a worth a shot on Memphis outright.
- 42:00SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 42:01SPEAKER_00: Uh shot.
- 42:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're getting we're getting good odds here for a for a coin flip.
- 42:06SPEAKER_01: So Okay.
- 42:07SPEAKER_00: Heck yeah.
- 42:08SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 42:08SPEAKER_01: Uh good stuff.
- 42:09SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna take the Memphis money line.
- 42:11SPEAKER_01: Good stuff.
- 42:12SPEAKER_01: All right, we're we're saving UVA NC State for last.
- 42:14SPEAKER_01: Anything else on the other four games for either of y'all?
- 42:17SPEAKER_01: Do you have anything else on New Mexico, Florida State, Hawaii, Stanford, Sack State, Eastern Michigan?
- 42:22SPEAKER_02: Oh, I can't wait for Sack State to join.
- 42:24SPEAKER_02: I can't wait for Sack State to play ball state so we can ball sack.
- 42:27SPEAKER_02: Ball sack bowl is coming.
- 42:28SPEAKER_02: I think it's like October, but uh nothing I want to gamble on for those games.
- 42:33SPEAKER_01: So what do you think, Darren State?
- 42:35SPEAKER_00: Fade in Florida State.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: Fade in Florida State.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, it's just in any way possible.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: I would bet the Florida State team total under uh New Mexico with those points, New Mexico State.
- 42:48SPEAKER_00: I would, you know, a halftime New Mexico State line.
- 42:52SPEAKER_00: I'm just fading Florida State.
- 42:54SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to see him fizzle.
- 42:55SPEAKER_01: So the you you you don't think they're gonna cover the 30 and a half?
- 42:58SPEAKER_00: No.
- 43:00SPEAKER_00: No.
- 43:01SPEAKER_00: I think you're too much of your heart, not enough with your head on that one, dude.
- 43:04SPEAKER_01: Bad.
- 43:04SPEAKER_01: What about the total?
- 43:05SPEAKER_01: Total is 52 and a half.
- 43:06SPEAKER_01: That does that speak to you in any way.
- 43:09SPEAKER_00: Give me unders.
- 43:10SPEAKER_00: Give me unders and dogs and New Mexico State.
- 43:14SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's gross, isn't it?
- 43:17SPEAKER_01: I don't feel good about any of that.
- 43:18SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, don't.
- 43:19SPEAKER_00: I mean, nobody should.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: Nobody should.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: Um this is this is a hard play.
- 43:22SPEAKER_00: This is admittedly a heart play.
- 43:24SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 43:24SPEAKER_00: I love to Florida State is definitely a team that I love to hate.
- 43:29SPEAKER_00: Like I said, I was there with Michael Vick playing the uh national championship in New Orleans, and the Florida State Seminoles, um, with Chris Winky or whatever, uh, you know, gave us the loss.
- 43:42SPEAKER_00: So I've I love to hate him ever since.
- 43:44SPEAKER_02: I don't bet with my heart, I only bet with my head.
- 43:46SPEAKER_02: I can't go with your heart on this one.
- 43:49SPEAKER_02: Wise.
- 43:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I'm not I'm not asking for any.
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: I feel like I need a shower after that one.
- 43:54SPEAKER_00: All right, you know what else?
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: Just wait and see.
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: Just wait and see.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: Can't wait for it.
- 43:59SPEAKER_01: All right, so we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna lay off that one.
- 44:01SPEAKER_01: Sounds like the floor state game is gonna be gonna be no action.
- 44:04SPEAKER_01: All right, anything else on anything else?
- 44:06SPEAKER_01: San Jose USC.
- 44:07SPEAKER_01: I got nothing else other than the UVA and C State game.
- 44:10SPEAKER_01: Nope.
- 44:11SPEAKER_01: Okay, cool.
- 44:11SPEAKER_01: Let's fast forward to Homer time.
- 44:13SPEAKER_01: All right, end of the at the end of all the picks.
- 44:14SPEAKER_01: We always do the homer time.
- 44:16SPEAKER_01: Lucky enough, week zero, we actually have a homer team.
- 44:18SPEAKER_01: UVA is playing.
- 44:19SPEAKER_01: This is when the part of the show where we highlight our five favorite teams UVA, Virginia Tech, LSU, Tennessee, and Iowa.
- 44:24SPEAKER_01: So very excited to talk about UVA uh UNC.
- 44:27SPEAKER_01: Uh UVA is playing at home against NC State, as we all know.
- 44:30SPEAKER_01: Games at 3 30 Eastern in Charlottesville, supposed to be in Rio.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: It got pulled.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: Current line, it was minus three when it was in Rio.
- 44:37SPEAKER_01: It got it pretty much jumped about minus five and a half.
- 44:39SPEAKER_01: Half minus six, sitting at minus five and a half now.
- 44:41SPEAKER_01: Over under is 53 and a half.
- 44:44SPEAKER_01: We can't actually bet this because we're all in Virginia.
- 44:46SPEAKER_01: So we're just gonna talk about kind of hypothetical bets.
- 44:48SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh does anybody want to start?
- 44:51SPEAKER_01: I've got a leaning, but I don't want to inform you all yet.
- 44:53SPEAKER_01: What do you uh what do you think?
- 44:56SPEAKER_00: NC State outright.
- 44:57SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
- 44:59SPEAKER_00: Is this my is this my heart talking again?
- 45:01SPEAKER_00: Am I going to be?
- 45:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it's a it's a smart heart.
- 45:03SPEAKER_00: Am I going hard heavy here?
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: Like I said, I think CJ Bailey's ready to be superstar.
- 45:08SPEAKER_01: I like I I was gonna I was gonna say NC, I was gonna say UVA wins NC State covers.
- 45:13SPEAKER_01: I was gonna if I if I was to bet on this game, I would take uh NC State plus five and a half.
- 45:17SPEAKER_01: I just don't think NC State has enough other than him.
- 45:20SPEAKER_01: I think UVA is a more talented roster.
- 45:22SPEAKER_01: I think they're I think their back seven on defense is actually gonna be pretty good once they fit together.
- 45:26SPEAKER_01: They've got real question marks, UVA at wide receiver, but behind a good offensive line, good running backs, like I think UVA just brings more to the table.
- 45:36SPEAKER_01: And if CJ Bailey is the man, and we we I think we all kind of agree that he might be, he's kind of got kind of have to do everything.
- 45:42SPEAKER_01: Um, I like the over here as well, uh, 53 and a half.
- 45:46SPEAKER_01: I think we're like I said it previously, I think both offenses are gonna do well and they're gonna score.
- 45:51SPEAKER_01: I could easily see a 35-31 type game out of this blowing through the over.
- 45:57SPEAKER_00: Um, so do you think UVA is built for the trenches, but not the explosiveness this year?
- 46:04SPEAKER_00: Because I loved Chandler Morris.
- 46:06SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, I go there.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: I go again.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: But Chandler Morris last year was explosive.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, drew out a lot of plays and made a lot of magic happen.
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: It was it was great, great for the yeah, and that's not really Bo Prabula's game.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: Bo Pula's yeah, but they're not really an explosive team right now.
- 46:19SPEAKER_01: No, and they don't have Malachi Fields or Trell Harris or any of these guys.
- 46:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, UVA has had a really nice run of receivers, frankly.
- 46:26SPEAKER_01: Um, guys have been that have uh some of them, some of which are in the NFL now, and what on so they they might.
- 46:31SPEAKER_01: I mean, would they're they're they're starting three transfers as far as as far as I know, uh out wide.
- 46:36SPEAKER_01: So maybe they will, but no, I think Bo Prabula is gonna keep him on the ground a lot.
- 46:40SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna run the ball a lot.
- 46:42SPEAKER_01: Um, I still it's not gonna be the high flying offense that it was last year, but Tony Elliott's offensive guy.
- 46:48SPEAKER_01: Remember, he came from Clemson because of his offensive chops.
- 46:50SPEAKER_01: I do think he has a really good chance with this O-line to get the most out of Bo Prabula, but I don't think he's the kind of guy that's gonna throw the ball over the field.
- 46:58SPEAKER_01: Um, so I would yeah, I'm gonna stick with I'm gonna stick with NC State to cover and the over is my two plays, Mark.
- 47:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:05SPEAKER_02: All right, completely agree.
- 47:07SPEAKER_02: I can't wait for it.
- 47:07SPEAKER_02: And the best part of week zero is we have no idea what's truly gonna happen out there, and I am so excited to get it.
- 47:13SPEAKER_02: But um, yeah, I think defense, I think the defense is typically limp into the season.
- 47:19SPEAKER_02: And I yeah, I agree with you.
- 47:21SPEAKER_02: I think there's gonna be a lot of points.
- 47:22SPEAKER_02: I just can't see UVA.
- 47:25SPEAKER_02: I I can't see them uh winning by more than five and a half.
- 47:29SPEAKER_01: Okay, and stuff all right.
- 47:30SPEAKER_01: Well, if you're if you're listening to this podcast and you are in a state that that legally supports uh gambling, uh NC State plus five and a half or the over are two or two Mike Blitz recommendations.
- 47:41SPEAKER_01: So, well, we can't do that, so we're gonna stick to our three plays today.
- 47:44SPEAKER_01: Just got another line.
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: I got another line to throw in though.
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: Sorry to interrupt.
- 47:48SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:49SPEAKER_00: But I think we should look at um I think we should look at the Trojans.
- 47:52SPEAKER_00: I think we should look at USC.
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: They are um, you know, like we said, 38 point favorites or so.
- 47:59SPEAKER_00: What's the what's the over what's the total on that?
- 48:02SPEAKER_01: 60 and a half.
