  Speaker 1: company that does this every single day. And that's why

• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No case. It's too big or too small. So is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: being described as edgy a good thing, Chad?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I would think so. Yeah. I would think that's a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: pretty good thing.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you weren't edgy before. I wouldn't want
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to be on edge. But edgy? Is that different?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: So having an edge to me is more of a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: compliment than you seem edgy. Because edgy almost seems anxious.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yes. Nervous.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I think what Steve Sarkeesian is saying when he says
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the following is a compliment. Okay. He said, I think
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: that somebody texted me today that we lost the aw
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: shucks kid, you know, and we've created something else.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we've lost him.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We created this. We did all of us, y'all included,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: meet the whole thing, right? Everybody on ESPN, we've created this.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: That is what Steve Sarkeesian said. says quarterback Arch Manning.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: That's why he describes him as edgy. Now, when I
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: hear ESPN, the media, it goes back to the Holly
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Rowe thing that he got criticized for because he's been
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a very different interview ever since then. He's been very quiet,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: very monosyllabic. He doesn't have a lot of personality, not
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of smiles when he's talking. So yeah, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: think the media coverage of Arch Manning has made him edgy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I take that as both edgy in that I've got
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a chip on my shoulder and I'm pissed off all
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And edgy as he's got a little bit more of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: an edge.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Remember the end of the Ohio State game when he
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: was caught on camera on the sideline saying, I'm just
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: about to say, I'll bleep it and just go out
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: there and play and let it rip. And that's when
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the comeback started for Texas. I needed just to say,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: screw it and go play. Where's that Arch Manning been? Well,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I thought he was very cautious against Tennessee. In that game.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: To the point of getting sacked probably more than he
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: needed to because he was, like Faison Brandon, not really
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: seeing things great and willing to rip the ball. They
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: need that Arch Manning, I think, in this game to win.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: They need him edgy. They need him also playing with
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: an edge if they're going to go beat Ole Miss.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: For longer than that quarter, right? And I would say this, too.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Sarkeesian has created this because of the first-team reps for
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the backup. That would also put me on edge a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: little bit because you haven't seen this, right? Yeah. Sarkeesian's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: got to get this right. He's the quarterback whisperer. The
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Manning family chose him as the, you know, this is
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: where they're going. You've got the roster around him. You know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's got to be way better than what we've seen.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The development factor. He sat two years. You know, like
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: where's the– maybe he's just not good, but I refuse
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to believe that. I do too.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And we've also seen moments of him being good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He was good at the end of last season. He
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: was good against Michigan in that bowl game. We've seen
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the good Arch Manning at times. And it is absolutely
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkeesian's job to find the right buttons to push.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: He is a quarterback guy. He's an offensive guy. Find
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the right buttons to push with him. But also, it
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is his job to not worry about the future. You've
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: got to worry about the here and now.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You can't worry about what if I bench Arch and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: What is the legendary Manning dynasty and family going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: think of me if I make this move? And what
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: does it mean for next year and the other quarterback
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I'm recruiting? You can't think about those things now if
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you're a head coach in college football.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Because it's now that matters. Josh Heupel with Faison Brandon
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and George McIntyre. I guarantee you Faison Brandon wants to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: start now. I don't know why Josh Heupel won't just
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: say George McIntyre is the starter when everyone knows he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: getting all the first team reps. and he's going to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: be the starter. That's a weird move to me that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he continues to act like, I don't know who I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: going to start yet, when everybody knows he knows exactly
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: who he's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Going to start.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But Josh Heupel can't worry about, well, what if Faison
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Brandon transfers after one year because he's not playing? What
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: if I make George McIntyre mad if I go back
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to Faison Brandon when he's struggling? In today's college football,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you just go and adjust. If both guys leave, does
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Tennessee want that to happen?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But guess what you do? You've got a lot of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: quarterback money now to go spend on somebody else. You're
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: going to be able to go replace him with some
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: other high-priced quarterback. You just replace the guy that wants
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to leave.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You know what you do? You go play in the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: college football playoff is what you do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: That's what you do. And every decision you make should
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: be to try to do that, to accomplish that goal.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck going at it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Nearly to blows. Nearly fisticuffs. We know who would win
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that battle.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Put up your dukes, said Joe Buck.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We could take this outside like men.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's straight ahead, Harold Hunt DeWittrow. Chad, good morning to you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Once again, we've got.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Our Crockett coffee here. Cheers to Crockett coffee to you.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like Troy Aikman and Joe Buck could use
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a nice little cheers of Crockett coffee to each other
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: at this point. How about the vitriol here with Aikman
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and Buck nearly coming to blows prior to one of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: these games because Aikman says that he was stabbed in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the back. saying that for weeks this past summer, when
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Joe Buck was extended his contract, there's reporting that Aikman
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: was left out in the dark. You know, he was
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: kept in the dark on this from ESPN and from
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Joe Buck, and that ESPN even during negotiations came to,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I guess, alluded to the fact that, yeah, you're back.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: The $ 100 million contract is what Joe Buck signed for
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: for Monday Night Football. You're back, but we may not
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: have Aikman with you the entire time. And he signed it,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: didn't tell Aikman about it. So I'm team Aikman here
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: all the way. First off, Troy Aikman would have beat
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the hell out of Joe Buck if this thing came
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to blows. The fact that this nearly came to blows,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: according to witnesses I'm thinking about, that would not have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: ended well for Joe Buck. It was Buck who kind
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of went at him, who blew up on him, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That's what I believe. Well, I think Buck, like, hey,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: are we going to talk about this or not? Kind
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of confronted him with attention in the booth. and brought
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it up, and then Aikman proceeded to go off. But
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: if that thing would have gotten physical, that would not
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have ended well for Joe Buck.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They're still calling games together right now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Troy Aikman is a physically intimidating dude. He's in great shape.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: He does not seem like someone to be effed with.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Anytime I've seen him talk about anything, in every documentary
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I've seen on the Cowboys or anything else, he is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a serious guy that I would not want to offend.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: So that would not have gone well for Joe Buck. Also...
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: they've been together for 30 years, 20, 30 years as
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a broadcast team.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: You don't tell that guy that, Hey, I've been offered
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a contract extension. I think I'm going to sign it
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: at any point. Like, do you actually listen to ESPN bosses?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You're like, Hey, we gotta, we gotta keep this a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: secret from Troy. We're going to give you an extension,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: but not him. We've been in a similar situation like this,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: where we were offered something that our co-host wasn't from
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: our company. We were up front with our co-host at
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the time and said, No, actually, our contract offer was this,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and it was for this long, and then we decided
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to make a decision collectively about what to do next
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: based off that information.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And you're right.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: The fact that Joe Buck would hide this is every
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: account that he didn't tell him that he signed, he
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: didn't tell him what the offer was, is crazy. Yep.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: That means that there was vitriol prior to this blowup,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: prior to Buck doing this, signing the contract. with ESPN
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: without Aikman. Now, it was Aikman who signed prior to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck back in 2022 when they took over Monday
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Night Football. But Chad, you're right. They've been together 25 years.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That is the new broadcast duo NFL historic record for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a broadcast team surpassing Pat Summerall and John Madden. That
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: blows my mind that they've been together longer than Pat
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Summerall and Joe Madden.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and John Madden.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, John Madden, sorry.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Joe Buck, it's all the Joes and Johns mixed together.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it's crazy. And again, I am team
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Troy Aikman on this. Joe Buck should have told him
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: what was going on. That's what you do as a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: friend and a professional is, hey, I got a contract offer.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to sign it. I don't mind that he
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: signed it without me. If he wants to stay and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: do Monday Night Football games, DSPN, and they're offering him
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: more money to do it, and they're not going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: offer Troy Aikman, that's fine. But it's on you to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: go to the person you've been with for that long
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, I think I'm going to do this.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And Troy Aikman has every right to get mad, upset,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: whatever he wants to do. But at least then he
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: told him something. I completely understand why Troy Aikman got
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: upset and wanted to punch Joe Buck by all reports.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Based off of this. And he probably tried to hide
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: his anger for a while. And then when Joe Buck
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: gave him the opportunity to talk about it, that's when
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: things got heated between the two. But they both are
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: very professional. And you can't tell anything on the broadcast.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: They do the games professionally. I can't sense anything. between
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the two when I watch these Monday Night Football games.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And apparently Buck said something like, we're all adults. We've
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: got our jobs to do. Let's move forward. Let's have
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a great year. That was Buck's message, Joe Buck's message. So,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, look, the other thing here, too, is I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: think without a year, ESPN's got the Super Bowl. What
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: would this dynamic be like without that final game? Aikman's contract,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that's his final game paired with Joe Buck. Without the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I wonder how Aikman handles this right now.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Just given the fact that they're in the booth together
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and it's awkward. You can tell the expression on their
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: face when they go to the open that they're clearly
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not happy. But you're right. I think Aikman's my favorite analyst.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He goes after officials. He discusses NFL rules that he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't like, and he's willing to be open and honest
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: about it. And he'll call out players, which is also
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: difficult for some of these people to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really good. Look, I think that he would
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: handle it the same way, even if they didn't have
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and he would finish out the season.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And here's why. I believe he wants to continue doing this.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And now with the news that J.J. Watt has signed
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a multi-year agreement to officially replace Tony Romo at CBS–
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Greg Olson and Troy Eggman, their contracts expire. They are
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: going to be the two biggest color analyst free agents
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: in NFL media. So they want to go somewhere else.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know where that landing spot is going to be,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: but whether it be in a studio or doing games,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and I think both these guys are really good at
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: doing games and that's what they should keep doing. They're
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: going to have some opportunities. So if you want to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: be in that mix to be a high level free
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: agent to go call games, then I think you, Be
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a professional the way he has. You finish out the season.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: You do a great Super Bowl broadcast. And you go
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: find your next landing spot.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, the dynamic of the business behind the scenes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So CBS doesn't wait on Aikman to pair with Jim Nance.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Nance wants J.J.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Watt.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And Nance went on a podcast and discussed his preparation
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes. That's a clear shot at Tony Romo
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: when he's saying that. Speaking of J.J. Watt, if you
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: start to look around at the openings... We had Olsen
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on to discuss the fact that Tom Brady took his spot, right?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And so that spot's taken. They're not going to put
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Aikman in Brady's spot. I did read where they have
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: an out in the contract with Kirk Herbstreit on Thursday
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Night Football. And with Amazon and the money that they
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: have and it being Al Michaels, I could totally see
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: them pairing Aikman up and throwing the bank at his.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Has to say, hey, do you want to pair up
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with Aikman and see what Al Michaels says about it?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I think him or Greg Olson would be great in
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that spot for Amazon on Thursday night.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Olson replaces Aikman, though. Oh, Olson.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You're saying Olson going to ESPN.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think so. That's what I'm thinking. The top broadcaster.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Could be.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Could be. Could be someone else out there that we
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: don't even know about yet. I think of the Romo
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: sensation where he was such a star early on. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: it's like, okay, now we've got to go find the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: next Tony Romo. And, of course, we know how that
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: all ended. But I think Mike Tomlin's kind of that
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: guy in NFL media this year.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: On Sunday Night Football. He's very good. He's as good
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: as everybody expected, maybe even better. And he's not afraid
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to take shots at players and coaches also. Does he
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: want to eventually do games? Or does he like the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: role that he has right now with NBC? That's someone
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: else that I would watch.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay has also been floated out there a couple
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: years ago. with his interest in what, $ 20 million was
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the report that the media was offering him. I wouldn't
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: be surprised if that happens again, especially if they kick
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it into gear and they end up on this run
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And hey, I wouldn't be surprised if
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee is where they turn, because they turn to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: him for literally everything. He's already there at Monday night.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's also an interesting one, because again, ESPN is all
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in with McAfee, and he does literally everything that they
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have on their programming.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: McAfee's awesome, very talented, extremely hard worker. You can be
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: overexposed at one network, and that would put him past
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the limit of overexposure if he was suddenly the guy
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to replace Troy Aikman on Monday Night Football. I'd say
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the same about Kirk Herbstreit. When I tune in on
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Thursday night to Prime Video and I hear Kirk Herbstreit's voice,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: it's never felt right to me.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Kirk Herbstreit's a college football voice. Kirk Herbstreit's a great
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: voice on College Game Day and the Game of the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Week on ABC. That's who he is. It's just been
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a forced match with Herbstreet and Al Michaels. Not that
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Herbstreet is bad or does a bad job on the games.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: He's good. But it's just it doesn't feel right when
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I hear him calling NFL games on Thursday nights.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So I read Andrew Marchand had Pat McAfee's first Monday
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Night Football alternate cast. His alternate broadcast had 351,000 viewers,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: according to a source. That's around half of what the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Mannings have and have received. and that compared to other programming.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: He was outdrawn by NextGenStats telecast on NFL Network in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: week six based on those numbers. I had no idea
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he was even doing this.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised he got half of what the Mannings got, honestly.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I thought it would be about the same with him
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: debuting that and doing it for the first time. I
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: watched it, Hutton. He's an awesome broadcaster. First and foremost,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I don't care how many people watch the thing, he
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: was calling play-by-play from the end zone. as well as
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: a play-by-play guy would call it. He knew every player
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: without looking at everything. He was calling it straight up
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: with his own style and flair, play-by-play, and then going
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to other people for what was happening the whole time.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: The five minutes I saw of it, I was very
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: impressed with him on it. I don't know what the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: longevity of that segment or that alternate broadcast would be.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I like what the Mannings do. I know that it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: got sort of a law of diminishing returns with the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: amount of people who watch it, but I still think
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it's very entertaining. with their alternate cast. I look at
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: what ESPN and Disney's doing with the Super Bowl, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, man, if you want to bastardize a Super
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Bowl broadcast, look no further than Disney Corporation and what
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: they've done with it. They've got like five different Star
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Wars themed broadcasts with it. It's crazy the amount of
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: different things they're doing with the game. I understand the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: thought behind it, but man, oh man, you've got an
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: alternate broadcast for absolutely everything on Disney and ABC.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It's remarkable. ESPN had 6.6 million ABC 10.3. That's also
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: part of the audience. You stick on it. But ESPN
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: 2 is where McAfee was. You found it. I didn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: even look there. I'm not even looking for it. Well,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I went there because I wanted to see the Manning cast.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And then I saw there was actually Pat McAfee's alternate
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: cast that night. That's how I mistakenly saw it and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: ended up watching some of his broadcast. ESPN has the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl again in two years. They will have that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on an app. is my prediction. And it's because the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: NFL is also a part owner with them. They're partners
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: on it. I don't think this... The whole Disney thing
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: is about conditioning you. Just like they did the Nickelodeon
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: stuff on CBS. You know, that Nickelodeon game or whatever
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it's called.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: McAfee, by the way, I was watching the moment where
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels threw the ball away on fourth down.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And his reaction doing the play-by-play, but also someone... It's like, well,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels decided to just throw it out of bounds
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: on fourth down. Does he know it's fourth down? What
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: exactly is happening here? And that's when they caught Dan
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Quinn not knowing clearly, and he was asked about it
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and lied and said, oh, of course I knew it
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: was fourth down. He did not know that it was
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: fourth down. Neither did Jaden Daniels the way he played
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: that one. But it was funny listening to McAfee doing
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: play-by-play during that moment.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Such a great point, too, about the oversaturation. I don't
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: even think about tuning in to McAfee because I see
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: him everywhere. You know, like, so I see him on
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: college game day. I see him everywhere. So I'm not
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: going to watch another show with him.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Dude is omnipresent. He is the voice in all of
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: our heads at this point. I mean, you cannot escape him.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: He's everywhere all at once.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yep. Hey, also all at once, you can get the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: top 10 college football games of the weekend. Withrow's got
• 18:23

• 18:39

• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Chad, last week's schedule for college football was the Camelot
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of schedules, right? Where would you rank this week's schedule
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: compared to last week's schedule if last week was number one?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Last week's schedule was the second most watched college football
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Saturday on record. I'm saying of all time.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Of all time.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Of all time with the games last week. If that
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: was Camelot, this is the Flintstones of college football weekends.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to sugarcoat. I'm not going to, you know,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: try to make a chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what here.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: It's a rough week.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It's a rough week, 1 through 10, for college football.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: But we're going to get to it right now, Hutton,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: starting with game number 10 for this weekend in college football.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech, eighth-ranked Red Raiders, 10.5-point favorites on the road
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: at Cincinnati. This is a 12 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Central kickoff on FS1.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: J.C.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: French IV, quarterback of Cincinnati, 1,338 yards passing, over 70%
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: completion percentage, zero interceptions. One of the least talked about
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: great quarterback stories in college football this year has been J.C.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: French IV. Texas Tech, they really don't do anything great
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: on offense. 53rd in pass efficiency, 86th in rush efficiency, Hutton,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: but yet here are the Red Raiders ranked eighth in.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: The country going on the road. And they have plenty
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of talent. I mean, their quarterback Hammond. Do not be
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: fooled by this spread, though. Right now it's a 10.5
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: at Hard Rock Bet. Cincinnati is 4-0 straight up at
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats are third nationally in offensive explosiveness.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: They have one of the most efficient run games, Chad,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: in the country with Tab in the backfield. Scott Satterfield,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: one of the most aggressive coaches on fourth down attempts.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: This could be one of the upsets because Cincinnati's playing
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: at home and they play so well there.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Nippert Stadium, by the way, I believe either the oldest
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: or one of the oldest continuous college football stadiums in America.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Don't quote me on that. That's just lying around in
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the recesses of my brain somewhere. But I have been
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to the University of Cincinnati when I was a younger man.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I remember getting the lay of the land, and that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is one of the older stadiums in college football. Game
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: number nine. The Aggies of Texas A & M on
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the road in Tuscaloosa to take on the 13th-ranked Alabama
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Crimson Tide. Alabama, a 14-point favorite, 3.30 Eastern time, 2.30
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Central on ABC. Bama's big play offense took a big
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: hit against the Vols a week ago. They're going up
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: against the Texas A & M Aggies team that has
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: struggled to stop the big play or get one for
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: themselves offensively. Can Keelan Russell and Alabama Hutton get back
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: some of that mojo that they lost in Knoxville last week?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I think this is a great bounce-back opportunity for Alabama
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I love the under, over-under at 50.5 at
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet. Russell has been held to under 200
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: passing yards in back-to-back weeks now. Is this a trend?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: A & M hasn't scored a touchdown on the road
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in SEC play, and they've scored just 13 points combined there.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: This is a low-possession grinder. I'm taking the under.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Meat grinder of a game.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Alabama is going to put up
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: a ton of points on this.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: A & M defense. But there's still a separation of score, yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: But I think they're going to be very alive and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: well for a possible college football playoff bid after Saturday.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Come Sunday morning, I think they're going to still be
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: sitting there with two losses after they beat Texas A & M.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Game number eight. Number two, BYU Cougars, talk of the nation.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: After that big win at home over Notre Dame last week,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: they got to go on the road across the country.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So you talk about relief syndrome that Lane Kiffin spoke
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: about earlier this week. BYU only a 6.5-point favorite at UCF,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: who's not exactly lit the world on fire this year.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: This is a 3.30 Eastern time kickoff on ESPN. UCF
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: coming off a bye week. Also, they've had time to
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: get rested and get healthy. The problem is their starting
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: quarterback has been injured. Keon Jenkins, the backup, is set
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: to start for the fifth straight game for UCF. BYU
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: hunting 6-0 for the third straight season. That is a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: program record under Kalani Sataki.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: A quarterback wearing, what, 47? Is that right? Bear Bachmeier,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: number 47, yep. Hey, six and a half, I did
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a double take at that. You'll see, though, where UCF
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: is 3-0 at home, 3-1 against the spread as an underdog.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't think BYU has a cross-country letdown, but
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I think they wear the Knights down in the fourth quarter,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and I think they cover the six and a half.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: The bounce house, I think is what they call that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: The bounce house, yeah. Whatever that thing is at UCF.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Much like you don't go into Kroger Field and push
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: them around. You don't go into the bounce house and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: push around the UCF Knights. Game number six this week, Hutton. Tennessee,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: number 11 at South Carolina. The Gamecocks, now a two-and-a-half
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: point favorite, 3.30 Eastern time on ESPN. We've talked a
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: lot about Tennessee this week. We haven't talked a lot
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: about South Carolina. coming off a bye. The week before that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: they go to the Swamp and they dominate. It looks
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: like Shane Beamer has rallied the troops. Lenora Sellers is
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: going to be a load for everybody, including this great
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Tennessee defense. For Tennessee, it's coming off that emotional high.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Cigar smoke in the air in Knoxville at Neyland Stadium.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Can Jim Knowles dial up another game plan and execution
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to the level of what they just did to Alabama?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: They can do it. They've shown they're capable. They can
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: shut a team down and wreak havoc all day. Can
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: they do that on the road at Williams-Brice Stadium? It's
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: a tough place to play. It's been a tough place
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: for Tennessee to play. This is the classic trap for
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Tennessee to go in and lose. That's what Vegas is
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: predicting to happen, Hutton. What say you about Tennessee and
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: South Carolina on Saturday afternoon?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it can be a trap when
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: South Carolina is favored. That would be bulletin board material
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: for me. And it is for Tennessee. Yeah, at Tennessee,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: 6-1 to the under. The under is 50 and a half,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: by the way. The Vols forced four turnovers last week.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And you've got USC, who is 109th in turnover margin.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: They have played the 14th toughest schedule. They're the home favorite.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And the turnover issues for the Gamecocks, Chad, I think
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is the difference here. The Vols have an opportunity to defense.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And you pair that with the atrocious pass defense that
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: South Carolina has. I think McIntyre goes play action. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I think it works well. I'll take Tennessee plus two
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: And Tennessee's shown, too, George McIntyre doesn't have to be
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a hero for them to win. He just made some throws,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: hit a couple slants, hit a couple rollouts, did a
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: good job one time of making something happen where it
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: looked like he was going to throw it away and
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: threw it back across his body. Just make some plays.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: They're not going to put the whole game on you.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Be a good game clock manager, control time of possession,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and Tennessee's going to have a great chance to get
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: out of South Carolina with a win.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We've discussed this prior, but again, I think Beamer remains
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: head coach with a win here, and he's already got
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the win over Florida. I don't think they want to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: fire him and pay the buyout anyway. I'm sure a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: lot of people do at home. When they play at home,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: they have the 13-point leads and then give them up,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: or 17-point leads. But you beat Tennessee after already beating Florida.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's working with house money for Beamer.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: There may be some South Carolina fans rooting against them
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: because they really want the guy fired. Everybody in South
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Carolina wants, like, heck, for him to win. Saturday because,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: like you said, they avoid the buyout.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: They win this game. We're not even talking about it anymore.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: He is going to be the head coach at South
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Carolina moving forward. Game number five. Virginia Tech at Clemson
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: in the ACC. The Clemson Tigers a two and a
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: half point favorite at home. Seven o'clock Eastern kickoff on ESPN.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Clemson blown out against Miami. We haven't really seen them
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: in three weeks because they followed that blowout loss with
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: an open week and then they beat Charleston Southern a
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: week ago. So Virginia Tech They've lost a couple in
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a row here recently. Can they get back on track?
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: And a big chance for Clemson to continue to not
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: completely fall apart by getting a home win here against
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: James Franklin.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: In year one. Man, Clemson's passing game is at rock bottom.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: They got one touchdown every 95 pass attempts is what
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I read. I mean, that's abysmal. And the Hokies' run
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: defense is number one in tackle for loss rates. So
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: if you think about the fact that they're going to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: shut down the run and then Clemson can't pass for touchdowns.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Virginia Tech, the run stuffing front,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: they're going to cover this as a favorite. It's a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: elimination game too, right? You get boxed out of the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: ACC championship game here. Yeah, yeah, it is.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, winner stays alive, losers out of it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Game number four, as we go through the top five.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Number 18, LSU, seven and a half point road favorite
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: at Auburn, 12 noon, 11 a.m. Central time on ABC. Hutton,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: both teams can and will play fast in this game.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Here's the big difference, though. Auburn is 133rd nationally in
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: time of possession, so them playing fast costs their defense.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: LSU can mix up tempos and still control time of possession.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I said it earlier this week in our Going for
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the Bundle parlay. I really like LSU to win going
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: away in this one on the road. I'm conflicted on
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: this because while I think LSU should do that, they
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: should double the spread. This is a live home dog
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: coming off the win against Georgia at 11 a.m. Central
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: that could make it a dogfight. You know, can they
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: actually parlay these consecutive upsets? I don't think so.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't trust LSU here on the road after
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: what I saw in Kentucky. I know it was a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: close game. I wouldn't have went for two. But, you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: you got Kiffin complaining about the schedule. Maybe, you know,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: he's firing them up for this. It's 11 a.m. kickoff.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: This is not at night down in the bayou. I'm
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: conflicted on it. I'm staying away from it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it has a chance to be a
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: really good game. I see LSU pulling away. Auburn coming
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: out with that big win. If I were betting it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I would take LSU minus a seven. I like what
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin had to say for LSU's chances. We were
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: really rooting for Auburn to win that game because we
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: thought they'd let down the next week if they won it,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and then they won it. I feel like that's kind
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: of Lane Kiffin calling a shot. Game number three. Number six,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Indiana at Michigan. Big noon kickoff on Fox. Michigan can't score.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: It's pretty simple. They have scored more than 19 points
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: twice all year against UTEP, and they scored 21 in
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: the win last week against Penn State. That's only after
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: pulling Bryce Underwood as starting quarterback and going with young
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Tommy Carr as their quarterback. On paper, Indiana should blow
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: them out in this game. They're much better. They should
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: suffocate them defensively. They're going to get enough done. Marsh
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: at wide receiver. If he doesn't step out of bounds,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: what are we talking about Indiana right now? They're far
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: and away the number one team in the country. With
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: a win over Ohio State, I think Indiana's about to
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: go on the road and beat Michigan. But playing in
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the big house, Michigan does play better there. Gives them
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: some sort of chance.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, I mean, the line's 7 1⁄2, but the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: over-under is key here at Hard Rock Bet. Michigan's pass
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: defense is 8th in the country. Indiana's coming into this
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: game after a bruising matchup against Ohio State. The over-under's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: 41 1⁄2. They're favored by 7 1⁄2. So to me,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: IU's winning... but it's a game with the total at 41.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Give me the points here because I'm thinking with 41,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: it's a low-scoring game, and they're saying Indiana's going to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: score the majority of them. You're right. Michigan can't score.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I'll take the Hoosiers.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Game number two. Let's go to the Big 12. Number 14,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Houston at number 10, Utah in Salt Lake City. First
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: time in AP poll history, two teams from the state
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: of Utah ranked in the top 10. BYU at number 10. Utah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, BYU number two, Utah at number 10. Never
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: happened before.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Great time to be a college football fan in the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: state of Utah. This game, a Hutton special. 9-15 Eastern
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: time kickoff on ESPN. Houston offense leads the nation in
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: success rate. Connor Wigman has been terrific. Utah's defense, sixth
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in defensive efficiency nationally, Hutton. A battle of a great
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: offense going up against a great defense.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Biggest game of the Big 12 of the season, right,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: to date. You've got Utah and a win that keeps
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the Utes unbeaten. It's all headed towards Utah-BYU, but yes,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: for right now, yep. And then you've got a fourth
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: straight Big 12 win for 6-1 Houston if that happens here.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: That would vault them past Utah in that conference driver's seat.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Utah's going to score plenty on the ground. Houston is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: number one, as you mentioned, in their success rate. Shootout's here, right?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Shootout is here, and I'm taking the cover. Game number one.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the SEC. Number seven, Ole Miss at
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: number 19, Texas. The Longhorns, a three-and-a-half-point favorite. 7.30 Eastern time,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: 6.30 Central kick on ABC. Texas has got what looks
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: like the punk son of some booster kid getting kicked
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: out of Darryl K. Royal Stadium forever because he's on
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the field with a sideline pass flipping off Florida players
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: with a bandana around his neck. What the hell is
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: going on with Texas? Arch Manning, I think, said the
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: right things, handled everything well. about how he's got to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: stop caring so much. He's got to go out there
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and let it rip. He hasn't played well, hasn't been
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: good enough. Arch Manning will be the starter in this game.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: How quick will the hook be for Steve Sarkeesian if
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: he starts rough offensively and Ole Miss takes an early lead?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: We saw what Ole Miss is capable of with Trinidad
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Chambliss in that game against LSU. They have blown out
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: their last two opponents at Vandy, Missouri at home. Now
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: they go on the road with a chance to possibly
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: end Texas's playoff chances. I think there's going to be
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: a three-loss SEC team in the playoffs, so it certainly
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't mathematically eliminate them, but it makes it really tough
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: if the Longhorns drop three in a row by losing
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: at home to Ole Miss.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Chad, this is a glaring styles clash here. Ole Miss,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: they struggle on defense, and Texas has problems on offense,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but look, I'm going to take Chambliss and Lacey, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I think the Rebels are locked in, and if they
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: come in and start scoring fast, they're going to put
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the backup in, yes, And if the Rebels end up
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: winning the SEC title game, they'll be the favorite to
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: be locked in for that, right? With a straight up
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: win here.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I'm glad this is number one. I think wrong team favorite.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Do you agree?
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I think Ole Miss is a better team. Absolutely. I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: think it's going to say a lot about Sark and
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Arch in this game because this is a back against
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the wall game at home. They're going to get a
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: really good environment at night in a primetime kickoff. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I have a hard time picking Ole Miss, but in
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: terms of wrong team favorite, yes, Ole Miss is the
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: better football team. And if they play really well, they're
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: going to win.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And to me, the three-loss SEC team, it would be
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a team like Tennessee, hypothetically, who lost by three to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Texas at the time.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Number one, right?
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: And we'll see who those teams beat and who they don't.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: You know, all that has to remain to be seen
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: about their big quality wins, too. Yes. I do think
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: somebody this year is going to get in with three
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: losses in the SEC. Don't know who that is yet.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be at least one team.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: And Texas is ranked where right now?
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Texas is 19th.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: 19th. I think with a loss here, they're going to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: go so far down, they won't be able to make
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: it back up that high.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: They'll drop out of the top 25.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: With three losses.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: It's a tough line to back up.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: With three losses before November, they'll drop out of the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: top 25. All right, 10 through 1.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: College football. This week's games of the week. Number 10,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: number 8, Texas Tech at Cincinnati. Number nine, Texas A &
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: M at number 13, Alabama. Number eight, back in the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Big 12, BYU at UCF. BYU only a six and
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: a half point favorite. Game number seven, you've got USC
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and Wisconsin, which I believe I skipped that game earlier.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Apologies to USC and Wisconsin. It went right to Tennessee
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: and South Carolina. We'll talk about that more. Game number six,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Tennessee at South Carolina. The 11th ranked Vols. Number five,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Virginia Tech at Clemson. Number four, Number 18, LSU at Auburn.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Game number three, Indiana at Michigan. Number two, number 14,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Houston at number 10, Utah. And game number one, number seven,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss at number 19, Texas. Three and a half
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: point favorites. You know, I skipped right past USC and Wisconsin.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Easy to skip past Wisconsin. Easy to skip past USC
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: They've only got one loss. I know.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're sitting here. They got the home loss
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: to Oregon, and they were kind of forgotten about then,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: but I tell you what, that offense, Jordan Maiava is
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: averaging over 310 yards passing per game. They are lighting
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: some teams up, so they get a chance on the
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: road at Wisconsin. So we mark that game at number
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: seven because USC quietly is still right there in contention.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Chad, right now they lead the Big Ten in third
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: down conversion and fourth down conversions. That's hard to do
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: in that league. But they rank 120th. in yards allowed
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: per pass attempt, their defense. It's, what, two and a half,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: three and a half at Hard Rock Bet. I think
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin could be a live dog here, just given the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: fact that Wisconsin's defense is not going to allow USC
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to stay ahead of the chains. They're very good on
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: early downs. USC's not. They're constantly converting on third and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: fourth down this season. This is a great game, and
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: USC surprised me on the road. They couldn't win on
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the road, Lincoln Riley. He couldn't take his team cross country.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Now they are.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Hutton, I can't wait. College Football Weekend is here.
• 37:01

  Speaker 1: this week.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Bet what you know, and we know the SEC, and
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: we went three deep on SEC games in our bundle
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: So I love it. Let's lock it in. Hey, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: tonight you've got Virginia.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Tonight, give me the Wahoos.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Virginia.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Friday night, hunting, trying to go to 16-1. I may
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: even release like a little secret pick. I've been eyeing
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: that Wyoming game in Laramie tonight against Air Force also
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: as a live home dog. My Wyoming Cowboys, the home
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of Josh Allen, being a possible live home underdog against
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Air Force to win outright. I'm going to see if
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I pick that a little bit later, but I'm definitely
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: picking Virginia minus two and a half at home against
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Duke in a rematch of last year's ACC championship.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, and for Hard Rock Bet, we profit like
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: it's hot. I'm going with Kenneth Walker III. Over 84.5
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: rushing yards. Look, he's returning back to Seattle. He's coming
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: off of back-to-back outings of 177 and 128. Facing his
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: former team. Look, he's chewing up clock. here the the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are the road underdog which is rare you can
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: get plus money right now at Hard Rock Bet give
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: me over 84 and a half rushing yards for Kenneth
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Walker III Tony Pollard for the Titans under 66 and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a half why because he plays for the Titans' offense
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: behind that offensive line. Under, Tony Pollard, 66.5 rushing yards. Chad,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: they're also playing the Cleveland Browns very good at stopping
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the run. That was one of your props last week,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and they faced the Cleveland Browns. Derrick Henry did. He scored,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: but he didn't rush for very many yards. I'm taking
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Pollard under. And Jameer Gibbs, over 93.5 rushing yards. The
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: guy is coming off a bye week. The Lions are
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: taking on the Packers. And I think they're going to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: run and get him the ball a lot in this game.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: That's what they do. They've got a solid quarterback play
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: this year. No interceptions. And look, Gibbs is one of
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the best in the league.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Run, run, run, run, run for the Detroit Lions and
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Jameer Gibbs. I like it. I'll be playing all three
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: of those. I've got one for you. The Tennessee Titans
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: cannot run and they cannot pass.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go Cam Ward under... 187 and a
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: half yards. I thought that number was crazy when I
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: first saw it. A guy who can't throw for 100
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: yards in a win. The Browns defense is good. I
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: feel very confident Cam Ward going under 187 and a
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: half yards. I'm taking that as my prop this week.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Chad, last week it was 202 passing yards. It was
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: under that as well. I like it. You think it
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: was 79? I'd rock that. Am I right?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Did he throw for 79 yards last week? Is that
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: total 97?
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: He threw for 102 yards.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: 102, okay. So he did go over 100.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of that second half. I think the Titans
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: had 49 yards total or something.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: I get all the miserable stats confused. Did he throw
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: for 79 yards recently at some point? Or am I
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: making that up? Probably.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe not?
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. I'll find it.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: You can see there on the screen, Monday we made
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: what with Hard Rocks? That's because we're very confident going
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: into the weekend. Let's win, Chad. Let's win. It's time.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Time to win.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Happy football.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Happy football to you, Hud.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Yes. Join us Monday here on Sporting State for a
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Hutton and Withrow presented by Hard Rock Bet.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend to all.
