Speaker 1: seven run over the last two days after tonight it
0:08
Speaker 1: was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna start
0:11
Speaker 1: off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I don't
0:14
Speaker 1: even know what to tell you above that. I just
0:17
Speaker 1: don't want to do this anymore. I have never seen
0:20
Speaker 1: anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two straight losses,
0:25
Speaker 1: not a good day at all. Own four, I have
0:29
Speaker 1: not had a good season. Man with wookends slump that
0:34
Speaker 1: I'm on, and the slump continues, I've reached a new peak. Actually,
0:40
Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn my Bruins hat man. I don't know
0:42
Speaker 1: what is going on with the Bruins arch hape? Is
0:45
Speaker 1: that what it is? I don't even know it's March ninth,
0:48
Speaker 1: I think who even knows? Man, I don't know what
0:51
Speaker 1: data is anymore. But I don't even know what data
0:53
Speaker 1: is anymore. Man, back with you after the worst day
0:57
Speaker 1: that I could possibly have, Back with you as I
1:00
Speaker 1: always am until I die at least oh and two.

1:15
Speaker 2: Slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
1:20
Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
1:22
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
1:25
Speaker 2: other than potentially end it all.
1:33
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? It's towed back with you with Toadstool Sports, Friday,
1:38
Speaker 1: February twentieth. I hate the board tonight. It's not a
1:42
Speaker 1: huge board. I will give out one college basketball play,
1:46
Speaker 1: not sure how much I even love it. I don't
1:48
Speaker 1: like the NBA board. It's a good thing. I didn't
1:50
Speaker 1: do anything with the NBA last night because I was
1:52
Speaker 1: wrong about most of the games. So yeah, it was
1:57
Speaker 1: not good. I read on the NBA line last night,
2:00
Speaker 1: which is why I tend to not dive really hard
2:03
Speaker 1: into the NBA right out of the All Star break.
2:07
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll talk about it. I'll mention Olympic hockey,
2:10
Speaker 1: I guess briefly. Yeah, and that'll be That'll be it,
2:15
Speaker 1: all right, dirty sock? What's up?
2:18
Speaker 2: Man?
2:20
Speaker 1: And thanks for hanging up with the Bracketology show last night.
2:22
Speaker 1: Really was just Garrett in there last night, and I
2:24
Speaker 1: was I was making fun of his Charlotte bet. You know,
2:31
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't don't bet with your bias just
2:36
Speaker 1: because that's like the team that you like, is all
2:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And Houston should have covered that. They were
2:41
Speaker 1: winning by double digits with four minutes left in that game, dude,
2:44
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, I think Charlotte was a really
2:49
Speaker 1: really lucky cover on that one, even though they were
2:53
Speaker 1: winning earlier in the game. Houston had turned it on
2:56
Speaker 1: and put that game away. I don't know what they
2:58
Speaker 1: did in the final couple of minutes of the final
3:00
Speaker 1: couple of minutes though my plays last night, William and
3:05
Speaker 1: Mary did not get there, and that was the only
3:07
Speaker 1: one where the market Reid wound up disagreeing with me
3:09
Speaker 1: after the number did move up. But I liked the spot,
3:12
Speaker 1: and they looked like they were gonna win that game.
3:14
Speaker 1: They're winning the majority of that game, even though you
3:17
Speaker 1: look at the game statistically, you know, they weren't actually
3:20
Speaker 1: really out playing Campbell in the game statistically. But Willim
3:23
Speaker 1: and Mary, they were up eight at halftime. They blew
3:26
Speaker 1: most of the lead, but then they got the lead back.
3:28
Speaker 1: They had the lead, you know, for again. They had
3:32
Speaker 1: the lead for the majority of the game, they just
3:34
Speaker 1: couldn't really pull away. And then at the end they're
3:36
Speaker 1: winning the game with four seconds left and Campbell had
3:41
Speaker 1: a nice play. At the end of the game. They
3:42
Speaker 1: drove to the basket. William and Mary, I mean they
3:46
Speaker 1: were trying to not they were trying it not to foul,
3:49
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know. They let Campbell get
3:51
Speaker 1: a drive to the basket. It was defended, but still
3:55
Speaker 1: Campbell got the ball. I mean, Campbell got the basket,
3:58
Speaker 1: I should say, and they won game at the buzzer.
4:01
Speaker 1: So we were we were literally less than a second
4:05
Speaker 1: away from going three and zero. Last night on the show,
4:08
Speaker 1: we went two and one. That was the loser, you know,
4:12
Speaker 1: very very close game. Unfortunately, I watched the end of
4:15
Speaker 1: it two, which usually I don't. I did watch the
4:18
Speaker 1: end of the Citadel game as well. That game, that
4:21
Speaker 1: was what I was talking about with the final two minutes,
4:23
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at the scores and I'm like, all right,
4:25
Speaker 1: we're gonna win the William and Mary playing, We're gonna
4:27
Speaker 1: lose the Citadel play. Well, at halftime, I was like,
4:30
Speaker 1: we're gonna win both because the Citadel were winning out
4:33
Speaker 1: right at halftime. They were winning by three at the half.
4:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're gonna cover this, Like all they have
4:38
Speaker 1: to do is not get outscored by fourteen in the
4:41
Speaker 1: second half. Oh yeah, But then they actually proceeded to
4:43
Speaker 1: do exactly that. They were getting outscored by twenty throughout
4:48
Speaker 1: most of the second half. So then everything flipped. Then
4:50
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we're actually gonna get the Citadel wrong
4:53
Speaker 1: and William and Mary right, and then we wound up
4:55
Speaker 1: the opposite wound up happening like in a two minute span,
4:59
Speaker 1: those games both flipped again, and the Citadel Dude, I
5:02
Speaker 1: don't know what happened in that game at the end
5:04
Speaker 1: of it. I mean I had some of it. I
5:06
Speaker 1: had I was watching some of it, but it was
5:08
Speaker 1: like they were down seventeen with two minutes left and
5:12
Speaker 1: then and they almost won. So yeah, I don't know
5:16
Speaker 1: what exactly happened in that game with who are they
5:19
Speaker 1: playing against Samford? Samford. I think they just went home
5:23
Speaker 1: early basically, and the Citadel were like, not so fast,
5:26
Speaker 1: and the Citadel cut that game to like two points.
5:29
Speaker 1: I think maybe even one that was insane, like down
5:33
Speaker 1: seventeen in with two minutes ago. You're usually you're not
5:37
Speaker 1: even gonna cover the ten and a half. But they
5:41
Speaker 1: did that and they almost won the game. I think
5:43
Speaker 1: they only lost by a couple of points. And then
5:45
Speaker 1: we got Georgia State, right, although that game was a
5:47
Speaker 1: little bit close, it was kind of uncomfortable. Although they
5:50
Speaker 1: were winning for most of the game. They wound up
5:52
Speaker 1: winning I think by only two, but they did have
5:54
Speaker 1: the lead in the final minute of the game. I
5:57
Speaker 1: think they were winning by three with not much time left.
6:00
Speaker 1: I think they committed a foul, probably intentionally. I didn't
6:03
Speaker 1: see the end of that game, but you know, when
6:05
Speaker 1: you're up three with a few seconds, like a lot
6:07
Speaker 1: of times, you'll intentionally foul so that the team can't
6:10
Speaker 1: get a three point attempt off, you know what I mean.
6:13
Speaker 1: So I think that's what happened, because Georgia Southern only
6:16
Speaker 1: got one more point, so they probably made one of
6:18
Speaker 1: the free throws. They probably missed one intentionally to try
6:21
Speaker 1: to get the ball back and didn't do it. So
6:24
Speaker 1: we did win that one with Georgia State. All right,
6:28
Speaker 1: let's get into today. Man, CBS Sports for some reason
6:33
Speaker 1: at six thirty is giving us Akron and Ball State.
6:36
Speaker 1: I mean, Acron's a good team. Ball State is not
6:40
Speaker 1: a good team. Akron did already beat ball State at
6:43
Speaker 1: home by ten, but obviously Akron did not cover that
6:46
Speaker 1: number because they're favored by more than ten on the
6:49
Speaker 1: road here. So you know, they must have been like
6:51
Speaker 1: a twenty point favorite in that game against a ball State,
6:54
Speaker 1: but they probably just kind of went through the motions
6:56
Speaker 1: then one by ten. I don't know if that means
7:00
Speaker 1: they're really going to take ball State seriously here though.
7:03
Speaker 1: It is a fourth road game in five games for Akron,
7:05
Speaker 1: which isn't exactly that easy. They got Buffalo on deck
7:09
Speaker 1: and then Kent State. I mean, ball State is literally
7:12
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the standings here, so if they're
7:14
Speaker 1: gonna overlook anybody in the conference, it may very well
7:18
Speaker 1: be ball State. Ball State. They're coming into this game
7:23
Speaker 1: off of a losing again to Ohio. I don't know
7:27
Speaker 1: how competitive they were in this game. They're obviously big underdogs. Yeah,
7:32
Speaker 1: I mean, they were down eight late in the game.
7:33
Speaker 1: It wasn't a horrible performance from them. I'd probably still
7:37
Speaker 1: have to lean to taking the points of ball State
7:39
Speaker 1: in this one. It looks like that's where the money
7:41
Speaker 1: is coming. Akron's up to a fourteen and a half
7:43
Speaker 1: point favorite, seventy five percent of the tickets are on them,
7:47
Speaker 1: seventy three percent of the cash on ball State. I
7:49
Speaker 1: think Akron will win the game, but you know, I mean,
7:52
Speaker 1: if I was gonna have to decide on the spread,
7:56
Speaker 1: I guess I would lean to ball State. There. Next
7:59
Speaker 1: game is my one play of the day, and you
8:01
Speaker 1: pretty much know where I'm going with this. This is
8:10
Speaker 1: ESPN two at seven pm. This is the best matchup
8:13
Speaker 1: in the in the Atlantic ten. Man, these are the
8:16
Speaker 1: two best teams in the Atlantic ten. We're gonna take
8:19
Speaker 1: VCU plus seven and a half against Saint Louis VCU.
8:25
Speaker 1: This is game of the year type of stuff for
8:28
Speaker 1: VCU man, even though yes, Saint Louis will show up
8:30
Speaker 1: for this as well. This game has huge bearing on
8:34
Speaker 1: who's gonna win the A ten regular season title. It
8:37
Speaker 1: doesn't really have bearing on home advantage or anything like that.
8:40
Speaker 1: In the tournament is the tournament. I believe the tournament's
8:44
Speaker 1: on a neutral site or at least late the late
8:47
Speaker 1: tournament games, I think, or at least on a neutral site.
8:49
Speaker 1: I think they play in Washington, DC or something like that.
8:53
Speaker 1: That'll help George Washington if that's the case. But yeah, VCU,
8:58
Speaker 1: they did just beat George Washington, but they're not gonna
9:01
Speaker 1: overlook Saint Louis man. VCU is on a nice role here.
9:04
Speaker 1: They got momentum. They're on I think a nine game
9:09
Speaker 1: win streak, ten game win streak, and that's the kind
9:12
Speaker 1: of winstream I'm not gonna try to jump in front of,
9:15
Speaker 1: you know, to get busted. Although of course I'm not
9:17
Speaker 1: saying VC who's gonna win this game. I am saying
9:19
Speaker 1: that I think they're gonna cover the game. Now, these
9:22
Speaker 1: two teams did already play at VCU and Saint Louis
9:25
Speaker 1: won the game, So we have a road revenge angle
9:28
Speaker 1: working for us for VCU here. So that's one angle
9:30
Speaker 1: that I do like. When a team lost the first
9:33
Speaker 1: game and didn't cover, and in this case, VCU was
9:37
Speaker 1: actually favored, believe it or not, So that's an angle
9:40
Speaker 1: that I like as well, even though they're only one
9:41
Speaker 1: and a half way favorites. When a team is at
9:43
Speaker 1: home and they're favored and then they lose that game
9:46
Speaker 1: and then they're on the road the next game, I
9:49
Speaker 1: like looking at that road team, So we have that
9:51
Speaker 1: angle working for us. So if you look at what
9:53
Speaker 1: happened in this box score. Saint Louis won the game
9:56
Speaker 1: by nine, but VCU had an atrocious shooting performance. They
10:00
Speaker 1: shot twenty nine percent from the field man so there
10:05
Speaker 1: are definitely some outliers going on in this game. Rebounds
10:09
Speaker 1: were exactly even in the game, so this was a
10:11
Speaker 1: much closer game than the final score makes it look.
10:14
Speaker 1: It was just VCU had a horrific shooting game, and
10:17
Speaker 1: that was really the one the one real outlier there
10:20
Speaker 1: was that shooting percentage, even though yeah, VCU did get
10:23
Speaker 1: to the line more. But even so I think that
10:28
Speaker 1: should we should see some sort of regression positive regression
10:32
Speaker 1: for VC. I don't think they're gonna shoot that poorly again.
10:35
Speaker 1: So that's the way you have to look at in
10:37
Speaker 1: this one. And then the other part of the situation is,
10:40
Speaker 1: of course, one of the other angles that I've liked
10:42
Speaker 1: to talk about this year, though I've only actually used
10:45
Speaker 1: it a couple of times for actual plays. But when
10:48
Speaker 1: you have a team that is on a massive win
10:50
Speaker 1: streak like Saint Louis was, and they lost the wind streak,
10:53
Speaker 1: Saint Louis literally had one loss on the season. It
10:56
Speaker 1: was in a neutral site game against Stanford one point
11:00
Speaker 1: loss for Saint Louis way back in November. They literally
11:04
Speaker 1: had not lost its November, so they had a loss
11:07
Speaker 1: for getting close to three months, and then they finally
11:11
Speaker 1: lost a game. You know, I like to fade a
11:13
Speaker 1: team when all that momentum gets lost, when you haven't
11:16
Speaker 1: lost since the beginning of the season basically, and you've
11:19
Speaker 1: won that many games in a row. They had won
11:23
Speaker 1: eighteen games in a row and then finally lost that
11:26
Speaker 1: losing to Rhode Island last time out, And I thought
11:29
Speaker 1: I liked Rhode Island as a side. I didn't really
11:31
Speaker 1: think Saint Louis Is gonna lose outright, but they did.
11:35
Speaker 1: It was a third road game in four games for them.
11:37
Speaker 1: You know whatever. But when a team loses, even if
11:40
Speaker 1: it was a loss, is a big favorite, and you know,
11:43
Speaker 1: a lot of times I'll stay well, that team should
11:44
Speaker 1: bounce back after they lose as a big favorite. Not
11:48
Speaker 1: in this case. When a team again, when they lose
11:50
Speaker 1: a massive win streak like this, I think it can
11:53
Speaker 1: hang them over into the next game and they could
11:55
Speaker 1: effectively lose the same game twice. So that's where we're
11:59
Speaker 1: going with that. And then when we look at ken
12:01
Speaker 1: Bomb here, these teams are not separated by that much.
12:05
Speaker 1: I think VCU is good enough to be a tournament team.
12:09
Speaker 1: He's got Saint Louis even though they're ranked eighteenth in
12:11
Speaker 1: the country. He's got them twenty sixth, so outside the
12:15
Speaker 1: top twenty five. VCU is at forty fifth. VCU is
12:19
Speaker 1: in the top seventy in both offense and defense, although
12:22
Speaker 1: Saint Louis is in the top forty one in both.
12:25
Speaker 1: But the offenses are both almost rated the same, just
12:29
Speaker 1: Saint Louis does have the better defense. We got to
12:31
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Both teams actually play fast this year,
12:35
Speaker 1: so there's not going to be any sort of real
12:38
Speaker 1: tempo mismatch here. I don't think both teams will just
12:40
Speaker 1: play pretty much at the pace they prefer. And then
12:44
Speaker 1: if you look at the luck Index, Saint Louis is
12:46
Speaker 1: more than one hundred ranking spots higher in luck. So
12:49
Speaker 1: ken Bomb is telling you Saint Louis is overperformed a bit.
12:54
Speaker 1: VCU is underperformed a bit, and VCU has faced a
12:57
Speaker 1: more difficult schedule as well. Saint Louis is about seventy
13:00
Speaker 1: ranking spots lower in strength of schedules so ken Bump's
13:05
Speaker 1: metrics bear this out a little bit, although I believe
13:07
Speaker 1: he does have this number around seven or eight. But
13:10
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. VCU will be my one play
13:12
Speaker 1: of the day. Uh, they look like they are getting
13:15
Speaker 1: the money here. The line's already dropped to seven fifty
13:17
Speaker 1: eight percent of the tickets eighty seven percent of the
13:19
Speaker 1: cash on VCU. I think the public they're gonna have
13:23
Speaker 1: a tendency to think Saint Louis is gonna bounce back,
13:25
Speaker 1: like that's what they tend to think. Oh, this team
13:27
Speaker 1: that's winning every single game, you know, they finally lose
13:31
Speaker 1: a game, right, the public's gonna be like, they're certainly
13:34
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back, like they beat VCU on the road.
13:37
Speaker 1: How could they not win at home? Right? And Saint
13:39
Speaker 1: Louis team that had one loss prior to their last game,
13:42
Speaker 1: the public always thinks that team's just gonna bounce right
13:44
Speaker 1: back from that, but that is typically not what actually happens.
13:48
Speaker 1: So VCU will be the play there. She's squealed, what's up, man,
13:54
Speaker 1: what's going on? Thanks for hanging out all right, let's
14:00
Speaker 1: see Saint Peter's and Iona is kind of an interesting game.
14:03
Speaker 1: In the matt Ac Conference. Saint Peter's they already played
14:08
Speaker 1: at Iona once. They did win by fourteen at home,
14:11
Speaker 1: so you do have a little bit of a revenge
14:13
Speaker 1: angle in mind here for Iona. It is possible that
14:15
Speaker 1: Saint Peter's doesn't take Iona seriously. Now, Saint Peter's they
14:19
Speaker 1: did just beat Fairfield, who is above Iona in the standings,
14:23
Speaker 1: but Saint Peter's has Siana up next, even though they
14:26
Speaker 1: already beat Sianna once. That's a big game. Sianna's right
14:30
Speaker 1: behind them in the standings, So there is that definitely
14:32
Speaker 1: a potential look ahead here. And Iona is coming up
14:35
Speaker 1: a really a pretty ugly loss to Niagara. Niagara's really bad.
14:40
Speaker 1: Iona was playing a bunch of road games in quick
14:43
Speaker 1: succession there. Now they're back at home and they lost
14:45
Speaker 1: their last home game to Mount Saint Mary's and actually
14:48
Speaker 1: the prior one to Fairfield. So I like that angle.
14:52
Speaker 1: When a team's returning home from a couple of games
14:55
Speaker 1: on the road in college and they didn't play well
14:57
Speaker 1: in their last home game, I think they tend to
14:59
Speaker 1: stay up their game quite a bit. So I like
15:01
Speaker 1: Iona in this game. I don't think Saint Peter's is
15:04
Speaker 1: as good as their record looks either. Ken Bom kind
15:07
Speaker 1: of bears that out as well. I was Saint Peter's
15:09
Speaker 1: only being two hundred and forty second in the country.
15:12
Speaker 1: He's got Iona fifteen ranking spots lower, and Iona is lucky,
15:17
Speaker 1: but so is Saint Peter's. So both teams have overperformed
15:20
Speaker 1: a bit. But if people are gonna look at this
15:23
Speaker 1: and want some action on it, they're also gonna see, well,
15:25
Speaker 1: how am I getting, like basically pick the winner price
15:28
Speaker 1: on Saint Peter's here when they have the way a
15:30
Speaker 1: better record? Right, it looks too easy to play Saint
15:33
Speaker 1: Peter's at like one and a half or whatever, So
15:35
Speaker 1: I would lean towards IONA in that game. The money
15:40
Speaker 1: is disagreeing with me on that. Saint Peter's a one
15:42
Speaker 1: point favorite, eighty two percent of the cash on them,
15:45
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of tickets on Iona. There's no way
15:48
Speaker 1: that I buy that there's an actual public ticket percentage
15:50
Speaker 1: on IONA in that game, But yeah, I would lean
15:53
Speaker 1: to Iona. There any other games that are of interest here.
16:00
Speaker 1: I looked at Milwaukee and Detroit Mercy briefly. Milwaukee lost
16:05
Speaker 1: to Detroit Mercy at home the first time, and they
16:07
Speaker 1: were like six and a half point favorites in that game.
16:09
Speaker 1: So that is an angle I like to use. When
16:12
Speaker 1: a substantial home favorite lost the first meeting and they
16:16
Speaker 1: play the other that team again on the road, they
16:18
Speaker 1: usually tend to do better in that road game. But
16:20
Speaker 1: I have my issues with how this sets up for
16:23
Speaker 1: Milwaukee here. They did just beat green Bay and they
16:26
Speaker 1: have Oakland on deck, so you could make the argument
16:29
Speaker 1: this is a sandwich spot. I mean, Milwaukee and green
16:31
Speaker 1: Bay their rivals. They're both like at least former affiliates
16:36
Speaker 1: or branches of the University of Wisconsin, whatever they are,
16:40
Speaker 1: their Wisconsin rivals, so that was a big game. Green
16:43
Speaker 1: Bay is near the top of the standings and Oakland
16:46
Speaker 1: is one of the best teams in the horizon, and
16:48
Speaker 1: that's who Milwaukee has on deck. So I do have
16:51
Speaker 1: my concerns that this is a sandwich spot here, even
16:55
Speaker 1: though they are also in a road or veng j angle.
16:57
Speaker 1: But they're also playing a third road game in four games.
17:00
Speaker 1: Is not that easy for Detroit Mercy. They did just
17:03
Speaker 1: beat Youngstown, that was a decent win for them. They
17:05
Speaker 1: got green Bay on decks, so they do have the
17:07
Speaker 1: potential that they might just look past Milwaukee because they
17:11
Speaker 1: already beat Milwaukee on the road. So you know, I'm
17:14
Speaker 1: still gonna lead towards Milwaukee in this game, but I
17:16
Speaker 1: don't love it. Detroit's a one and a half point
17:19
Speaker 1: favorite in this one. Don't really see the percentages yet,
17:21
Speaker 1: but yeah, I would slightly lead towards Milwaukee in that one.
17:26
Speaker 1: And then green Bay and Oakland in that same conference
17:28
Speaker 1: is an interesting game. Although Oakland is definitely the better team,
17:32
Speaker 1: they will be the favorite here. These pictures of Doug
17:35
Speaker 1: gottlieb are just insane. Dude. He got banned apparently he
17:39
Speaker 1: I guess he's not coaching in the games, and he
17:42
Speaker 1: got a one game ban for yelling at the refs
17:46
Speaker 1: and then trashing them after the game after they lost
17:49
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. So that's great. So I think Doug gottlie
17:53
Speaker 1: will not be coaching this game. He's out of control. Man.
17:57
Speaker 1: He threw a chair earlier this year, but it was
18:00
Speaker 1: not cool like Bobby Knight. He took a chair like
18:03
Speaker 1: as he was exiting the stadium and you couldn't really
18:05
Speaker 1: see him do it be Bobby Knight. Man just throw
18:09
Speaker 1: it right onto the course. So so yeah, Doug Gottlieb.
18:14
Speaker 1: He won't be coaching in this game, so I don't know, dude,
18:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's outburstol fire his team up.
18:21
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they are coming up that loss
18:23
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee that was a big rivalry game. Like I said,
18:26
Speaker 1: they're playing another road game here, although I don't think
18:29
Speaker 1: they're gonna overlook Oakland. Man and Oakland embarrass them at
18:33
Speaker 1: home by twenty five points earlier this year, so I
18:36
Speaker 1: actually think green Bay might get up for this game
18:38
Speaker 1: and they might play hard for whoever the assistant coaches
18:43
Speaker 1: that's gonna coach this game. Oakland is coming up three
18:46
Speaker 1: straight losses, though, and they got absolutely embarrassed in their
18:49
Speaker 1: last game by Robert Morris, so it's not like Oakland's
18:52
Speaker 1: in a bad spot here. Even though they did beat
18:55
Speaker 1: green Bay on the road. I just don't see how
18:56
Speaker 1: they overlooked them when they've had three losses in a row. Well,
19:00
Speaker 1: but that recent loss was just horrendous against Robert Morris,
19:03
Speaker 1: so I would think that Oakland would show up in
19:07
Speaker 1: this game as well. But I do actually lean to
19:09
Speaker 1: them to green Bay. I would take the points here.
19:12
Speaker 1: Oakland's a seven or six and a half way favorite here,
19:15
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the tickets, ninety five percent of the
19:17
Speaker 1: cash on green Bay. I agree with that money in
19:20
Speaker 1: that one. I would look towards green Bay and that
19:22
Speaker 1: one plus the points, but I don't have a strong
19:24
Speaker 1: opinion on it. Yeah. Yeah, Doug gottlie Man, he's I
19:31
Speaker 1: don't like him as an analyst. I don't really like
19:33
Speaker 1: him as a coach either, but it's entertaining to watch
19:36
Speaker 1: what he's out there doing. So all right, then we
19:40
Speaker 1: got a fox at eight pm. We have the big
19:43
Speaker 1: game of the night is Indiana at number seven Perdue.
19:46
Speaker 1: This is a rematch and this is an Indiana rivalry game.
19:50
Speaker 1: Indiana actually beat Purdue at home earlier this year, so
19:54
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of a revenge angle for
19:55
Speaker 1: Purdue here. Indiana's had a lot of time off. I
19:58
Speaker 1: think they haven't played for like almost a week here.
20:01
Speaker 1: They lost their last game at Illinois by twenty points,
20:05
Speaker 1: so they probably will show up in this game. I
20:08
Speaker 1: think there's no doubt about that. They consider themselves to
20:10
Speaker 1: be the little brother now to Purdue, so I think
20:13
Speaker 1: you will get, you know, an effort out of Indiana here.
20:16
Speaker 1: I think you'll get an effort out of Purdue too,
20:18
Speaker 1: though Purdue did just lose a four game win streak.
20:21
Speaker 1: But you know, they didn't do well against Michigan, but
20:24
Speaker 1: it was a big game. It was a game you
20:25
Speaker 1: do get up emotionally for. But I don't really see
20:28
Speaker 1: them overlooking Indiana because they did lose to Indiana earlier
20:32
Speaker 1: this year. Although Purdue does have Michigan State on deck. Purdue,
20:35
Speaker 1: we know they are already gonna be like either a
20:37
Speaker 1: two or three seed in the tournament. So you could
20:40
Speaker 1: make the argument this game means more to Indiana. If
20:42
Speaker 1: you saw my bracketology last night, Purdue was obviously in
20:46
Speaker 1: the tournament. They will be a high seed. Indiana is
20:49
Speaker 1: still a bubble team. So Indiana, you know, there is
20:52
Speaker 1: a little bit maybe more motivation on the Indiana side here,
20:55
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be getting a lot of points against
20:57
Speaker 1: a slow down team Purdue for ten and a half
21:00
Speaker 1: to eleven here, sixty seven percent of tickets, eighty percent
21:03
Speaker 1: of the cash on Purdue. I mean, I would probably
21:08
Speaker 1: lead towards taking the points with Indiana and this one,
21:13
Speaker 1: I think Purdue will be the public side. I think
21:15
Speaker 1: the public expectation here, the public will lay the points
21:19
Speaker 1: with the ranked team, they'll think, oh, Purdue is in
21:21
Speaker 1: revenge mode. Purdue just lost to a great Michigan team.
21:25
Speaker 1: They should bounce back here. I'm not sure it's that easy.
21:28
Speaker 1: And Purdue does play slow, we know this, so they're
21:31
Speaker 1: gonna slow the game down at home. The total is
21:33
Speaker 1: not that high in the one forties, so I know
21:36
Speaker 1: Purdue does play really well offensively even though they play slow.
21:40
Speaker 1: But they do still get into some of these like
21:41
Speaker 1: low scoring games at home because of the slow pace.
21:45
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Those are my thoughts on that.
21:49
Speaker 1: ESPNU at eight pm, Siana at Merrimack. These are actually
21:53
Speaker 1: probably the legitimately the top two teams in the Mattac Conference.
21:58
Speaker 1: As I told you, I don't think Saint Peter's is
22:00
Speaker 1: as good as the record looks. Cianna and Merrimack already
22:03
Speaker 1: played once, and Sianna lost at home as a favorite,
22:08
Speaker 1: so I think they're probably about a three and a
22:10
Speaker 1: half point favorite, I guess in that game, so they're
22:13
Speaker 1: in a road revenge angle here. Five and a half
22:15
Speaker 1: actually my mistake. So Sianna lost as a Jesus sized
22:19
Speaker 1: favorite at home, and you know, I like to look
22:20
Speaker 1: at that angle. I like the road team to bounce
22:23
Speaker 1: back when they play that team again on the road.
22:27
Speaker 1: So I do like Cianna here, but I do have
22:29
Speaker 1: some issues with it. They're playing a third road game
22:32
Speaker 1: in four games, and they played a bunch of like
22:35
Speaker 1: difficult games in a row. Man, they had to go
22:37
Speaker 1: to Saint Peter's. They're at home against Quinnipiac, which I
22:41
Speaker 1: believe I gave out a lean on Quinnipiac in that one.
22:44
Speaker 1: Then they had to go to Maris and they won
22:46
Speaker 1: that game. Those are three big games, man, against three
22:48
Speaker 1: of the better teams in the conference. Now they're facing
22:51
Speaker 1: they're basically facing the top four teams besides them in
22:54
Speaker 1: the conference all in a row. So that's not that
22:57
Speaker 1: easy to do, and having to do most of that
22:59
Speaker 1: on the So even though I'll lean to Sianna here,
23:02
Speaker 1: there's a you know, I don't love how the scheduling
23:05
Speaker 1: spot sets up for them. Merrimack won six games in
23:08
Speaker 1: a row. They did just win at Quinnipiac, which was
23:10
Speaker 1: a nice win for them, off of a very satisfying
23:13
Speaker 1: blowout win of Maris the game before that. So yeah,
23:16
Speaker 1: you could make the argument it's not that much easier
23:18
Speaker 1: for Merrimack here. They are at home though, but they've
23:22
Speaker 1: been traveling a bit. They're coming off two big wins themselves,
23:25
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna lean to Sianna in the road revenge angle,
23:28
Speaker 1: but not something that's gonna be on my card. Merrimack's
23:31
Speaker 1: is three point favorite here, fifty percent of the tickets,
23:34
Speaker 1: ninety one percent of the cash on Sianna. Merrimack does
23:37
Speaker 1: get themselves in a lot of ugly, low scoring games too,
23:40
Speaker 1: so asking them to cover is usually something I don't
23:43
Speaker 1: like to do. Cover is a favorite, I mean, although
23:46
Speaker 1: they're a small favorite in that game. And then CBS
23:49
Speaker 1: Sports at eight thirty. Bowling Green is at number twenty two,
23:53
Speaker 1: Miami Ohio number twenty two, Miami Ohio, who still has
23:59
Speaker 1: not lost game, and they keep setting up decently. Man,
24:02
Speaker 1: Miami Ohio keeps catching these teams in like decent scheduling
24:06
Speaker 1: spots to catch them. Although this scheduling spot is both
24:10
Speaker 1: good and bad, I would say for Bowling Green. Now,
24:13
Speaker 1: Bowling Green lost to Miami Ohio at home earlier this year.
24:17
Speaker 1: Bowling Green, believe it or not, we're six point favorite
24:19
Speaker 1: in that game and they lost by ten. Now you
24:23
Speaker 1: could make the argument that line is a little bit off, okay,
24:26
Speaker 1: but if they were a six point favorite on the road,
24:29
Speaker 1: they really should probably be maybe a one point dog
24:32
Speaker 1: in this game. And you know, they're a much much
24:34
Speaker 1: bigger dog than that here now, so this line has
24:37
Speaker 1: changed probably way too much. So I do think there
24:40
Speaker 1: is line value on Bowling Green here, like the fact
24:44
Speaker 1: that Bowling Green is a six point favorite. Yeah, even
24:46
Speaker 1: if that wasn't right, and even if you think, well,
24:48
Speaker 1: maybe they should have been like a you know, maybe
24:51
Speaker 1: even let's say they should have been a three point
24:53
Speaker 1: home favorite in that game, there's still should not be
24:56
Speaker 1: this swing to Miami. OHI being like an eight point
24:59
Speaker 1: favorite here or whatever they are. So I think there
25:01
Speaker 1: is line value on the Bowling Green side here. And
25:04
Speaker 1: because they lost at home as a favorite, you know,
25:06
Speaker 1: that puts them in the road revenge angle as well.
25:09
Speaker 1: And Bowling Green is good on defense, so you're getting
25:12
Speaker 1: the better I think you're getting the better defense. I'll
25:14
Speaker 1: look at ken Bum in a minute, but I think
25:16
Speaker 1: you're getting the better defense getting points in a road
25:19
Speaker 1: revenge angles, you though. I like all those angles, But
25:22
Speaker 1: the thing I don't like is that Bowling Green just
25:24
Speaker 1: had a big game against Kent State. So again Miami
25:27
Speaker 1: Ohio catches the team coming off a big game, Like
25:30
Speaker 1: Miami Ohio just caught you Mass coming off a game
25:33
Speaker 1: against Akron, and Miami Ohio was going to pay attention
25:37
Speaker 1: to you Mass, I thought, because U Mass almost beat
25:40
Speaker 1: them at Miami Ohio. So Miami Ohio had the advantage
25:44
Speaker 1: in that scheduling spot. They have at least one advantage
25:47
Speaker 1: in this scheduling spot, which is Bowling Green's coming off
25:50
Speaker 1: of Kent State. So they might be tired coming into
25:53
Speaker 1: this game, but at the very least Bowling Green does
25:57
Speaker 1: have the road revenge angle working for them here. Miami Ohio.
26:00
Speaker 1: We know they're undefeated. Yeah, yeah, They're probably gonna end
26:05
Speaker 1: the regular season undefeated. At this point, their biggest remaining
26:09
Speaker 1: tests will be the road game at Ohio to finish
26:11
Speaker 1: the regular season. You know, I still don't think they're
26:15
Speaker 1: as good as Achron. I still don't buy Miami Ohio.
26:18
Speaker 1: They face it really. Look at how weak their schedule
26:21
Speaker 1: was out of conference, Dude. The best win that they
26:24
Speaker 1: got was against Wright State in the out of conference
26:27
Speaker 1: So I mean this is not a good Miami. I mean,
26:31
Speaker 1: it's not a great Miami Ohio team. Let's put it
26:33
Speaker 1: that way. Ken Bum still has them in the eighties
26:36
Speaker 1: ranking wise, that's Miami Florida. I'm hold on, Miami Florida
26:41
Speaker 1: is in the forties. Yeah, Miami Ohio eighty seven. They're
26:44
Speaker 1: the sixteenth luckiest team in the country. They're bottom sixty
26:47
Speaker 1: strength the schedule, and they're not very good defensively. They're
26:51
Speaker 1: a mid tier defensive team. They're a pretty good offense,
26:54
Speaker 1: and they play fast. Now, Bowling Green, they are the
26:58
Speaker 1: better defense here. Like I said, Green is not good
27:00
Speaker 1: on an offense, they are good on defense. They're not
27:03
Speaker 1: a horrible team. They're very unlucky according to kem Bomb.
27:06
Speaker 1: They're bottom at twenty in luck and Bowling Green, believe
27:09
Speaker 1: it or not, actually does play somewhat fast, so they
27:12
Speaker 1: won't totally be thrown off by this fast tempo that
27:15
Speaker 1: you know, Miami Ohio is gonna run. I would have
27:18
Speaker 1: to take Bowling Green plus the points in this game
27:20
Speaker 1: if I was gonna play it. Miami Ohio is laying
27:23
Speaker 1: eight points. Like I said, I think that line is
27:25
Speaker 1: also too high. Although ken Bomb I think has the
27:27
Speaker 1: number around seven or eight, But I still think that
27:31
Speaker 1: that's too much of a shift from the first game.
27:34
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of ticket, sixty three percent of the cash
27:36
Speaker 1: on Miami Ohio. Yeah, so I agree with the market
27:39
Speaker 1: and that when Miami Ohio is going to be an
27:41
Speaker 1: extremely public side. But yeah, I would take the points
27:45
Speaker 1: with Bowling Green. And you know that, dude, Miami Ohio,
27:49
Speaker 1: at some point they're gonna lose a game that people
27:51
Speaker 1: don't expect them to lose. And you know, I mean,
27:54
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be this one. Who knows, maybe it'll be
27:56
Speaker 1: one where there's a road revenge angle and the better
27:59
Speaker 1: defense this is getting points. You know, Bowling Green is
28:03
Speaker 1: not a bad team. So that's what I have to
28:06
Speaker 1: say about that. All right, we'll talk about the NBA here.
28:11
Speaker 1: I think there are like eight NBA games here and
28:13
Speaker 1: then I gotta get out of here. I don't have
28:15
Speaker 1: anything in the NBA. I hate these games today. NBA,
28:20
Speaker 1: we do have some games where some teams played yesterday
28:23
Speaker 1: and other teams have been off since the All Star break.
28:27
Speaker 1: But what I talk about is, you know, when teams
28:29
Speaker 1: are coming back from the All Star break, you have
28:31
Speaker 1: to look at how they went into the All Star break,
28:33
Speaker 1: because if they went into the All Star break, on
28:35
Speaker 1: a good note. I don't think the All Star break helps.
28:38
Speaker 1: I think the rest hurts them because it'll end their momentum.
28:41
Speaker 1: But I think if they went into the All Star
28:43
Speaker 1: break on a bad note, the rest is good for
28:46
Speaker 1: them because it'll break that losing momentum. Yeah, so hold on,
28:52
Speaker 1: give me a second. I'll be right back, and we're
28:54
Speaker 1: gonna go intermission here and then i'll do the NBA.
28:56
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show the NBA board here for you. Though
28:59
Speaker 1: we have eight games today, I believe were yesterday we
29:02
Speaker 1: had more than that. I believe alright, one second, all right,
30:00
Speaker 1: NBA first game up is Cleveland at Charlotte. Both of
30:05
Speaker 1: these teams played yesterday. Cleveland had a much easier game yesterday,
30:09
Speaker 1: beating Brooklyn in a blowout. I thought Brooklyn might set
30:13
Speaker 1: up to play better in that game. That did not happen.
30:16
Speaker 1: Cleveland is going to be a really dangerous team in
30:18
Speaker 1: the playoffs, which I don't like as a Celtic fan. Now,
30:22
Speaker 1: Cleveland does have Oklahoma City on deck in a TV
30:24
Speaker 1: game that is a big game on Sunday, and the
30:27
Speaker 1: Knicks after that, So there you could make the argument
30:30
Speaker 1: there is a potential that they overlook Charlotte here. They
30:34
Speaker 1: did beat Charlotte at Charlotte back on January twenty first,
30:38
Speaker 1: by seven, so you know, there is there are some
30:42
Speaker 1: arguments to be made for Charlotte here. But Charlotte had
30:44
Speaker 1: a tough game last night, a much more difficult game
30:48
Speaker 1: against Houston, although they are staying at home here so
30:51
Speaker 1: that helps them a little bit. I'm back and forth
30:54
Speaker 1: on this game. It's not a game I would want
30:55
Speaker 1: any to have anything to do with, really, But the
31:00
Speaker 1: Calves are getting the money, and you know, I don't
31:02
Speaker 1: really disagree with that, but they are up to a
31:04
Speaker 1: six point favorite. I think they are definitely like one
31:08
Speaker 1: of the top teams in the East right now. Though
31:10
Speaker 1: like eighty five percent of tickets ninety five percent of
31:13
Speaker 1: the cash on them. They're from four and a half
31:14
Speaker 1: point favorite to a six point favorite. I lean towards
31:18
Speaker 1: the Calves. I don't know about that number, though the
31:20
Speaker 1: number does seem a bit high at this point, but
31:22
Speaker 1: I don't think I would want to play Charlotte in
31:24
Speaker 1: that spot, So I think the Calves will win. I
31:28
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not they'll cover. I kind of
31:31
Speaker 1: lean that way. Indiana and Washington, we have a zigzag
31:34
Speaker 1: spot here, and I liked Washington. That was one of
31:36
Speaker 1: the reads I was correct on yesterday because they had
31:39
Speaker 1: gone into the break on a bad losing streak, so
31:42
Speaker 1: I thought the break would end their losing streak, which
31:44
Speaker 1: it did. Indiana took the loss. If you look at
31:47
Speaker 1: what happened in this game, the major outlier in this
31:50
Speaker 1: game was the turnovers. Indiana was minus thirteen in turnovers,
31:55
Speaker 1: so that's why they lost the game. They would have
31:57
Speaker 1: won the game otherwise they outreb to Washington. They were
32:01
Speaker 1: the better teams. So my guess is that Indiana will
32:04
Speaker 1: clean that up and that the zigzag actually will work
32:07
Speaker 1: in this one. I like Indiana in this one to
32:09
Speaker 1: bounce back from that bad performance in the prior game.
32:14
Speaker 1: You know, when you replay the same game over again,
32:16
Speaker 1: if something was an outlier in that first game, I
32:19
Speaker 1: think you want to look to fade what happened. There's
32:22
Speaker 1: the potential Washington looks ahead to Charlotte in the next
32:25
Speaker 1: game because they're playing a team they just beat yesterday,
32:29
Speaker 1: and the Pacers were two and a half point favorites
32:32
Speaker 1: last night and now they're only a one and a
32:33
Speaker 1: half point favorite. So I think you're getting a little
32:35
Speaker 1: bit of line value for no reason other than the
32:38
Speaker 1: fact that the Pacers lost last night. So eighty three
32:41
Speaker 1: percent of the tickets eighty eight percent of the cash
32:43
Speaker 1: on the Pacers. I absolutely think the Pacers can clean
32:46
Speaker 1: that up and not have twenty three turnovers again. So
32:49
Speaker 1: I would lean to the Pacers in that one, all right,
32:54
Speaker 1: Utah and Memphis, and I would lay the points. Like
32:57
Speaker 1: you know in college basket all specifically, if you have
33:01
Speaker 1: a one one and a half two point favorite, it's
33:04
Speaker 1: advantageous to actually play the money line instead. But in
33:06
Speaker 1: the NBA, I don't think that's the case, So I
33:08
Speaker 1: think laying the points would be the way to go
33:11
Speaker 1: in that one. Utah and Memphis, these teams have not
33:13
Speaker 1: played since before the All Star Break. Utah lost pretty
33:18
Speaker 1: badly at home to Portland. Although Utah is you know,
33:21
Speaker 1: tanking in a way because they are benching their best
33:25
Speaker 1: players late in games now, and they now no longer
33:28
Speaker 1: have Jackson. He's been shut down for the season after
33:31
Speaker 1: they traded for him. They know they're not going anywhere
33:34
Speaker 1: this year, so he's injured and he's out for the season.
33:37
Speaker 1: So that's something that's going on with Utah here. Both
33:41
Speaker 1: these teams are complete mash units to dude, Like, both
33:44
Speaker 1: these teams have nobody playing for them as far as
33:46
Speaker 1: I could tell. Nurkic looks like he's out for Utah
33:50
Speaker 1: as well. Kessler we already know has been out for
33:53
Speaker 1: the season for quite a while. From Memphis, I mean,
33:56
Speaker 1: they have a pretty large injury list as well. I
34:01
Speaker 1: don't know if Walter Clayton Junior is gonna suit up
34:03
Speaker 1: for this game. They got him in the trade. I
34:05
Speaker 1: think he's doubtful, so he's not playing. You know, it's
34:09
Speaker 1: just a mess, a mess of a game where you're
34:12
Speaker 1: gonna get backups versus backups. Very very hard to predict
34:17
Speaker 1: anything about this game, man, And I believe both teams
34:21
Speaker 1: went into the All Star Break on a loss as well,
34:25
Speaker 1: so there's no you know, scheduling dynamic advantage one way
34:30
Speaker 1: or the other. For Memphis, I'm assuming they don't have. Yeah,
34:36
Speaker 1: I don't even see morant on. Did they trade Miranda?
34:39
Speaker 1: I don't think they did. But Moran's not even listed
34:42
Speaker 1: on here. Neither is Zachi Edie, so they're both done
34:45
Speaker 1: for the season. Probably. This is a ridiculous game, dude.
34:49
Speaker 1: It's like almost impossible to handicap this thing. Yeah, Memphis
34:53
Speaker 1: went into the break on a four game losing streak.
34:56
Speaker 1: They actually played competitively though, in the last couple of
34:58
Speaker 1: games on the road at Golden State and Denver, so
35:01
Speaker 1: that's at least a decent sign that Memphis is out
35:04
Speaker 1: there trying, whereas it seems like the Jazz or not.
35:08
Speaker 1: Memphis is down from a three and a half paint
35:10
Speaker 1: favorite to a pick them though, and the money is
35:12
Speaker 1: coming in on the Jazz for what it's worth, sixty
35:14
Speaker 1: eight percent of the tickets ninety seven percent of the
35:16
Speaker 1: cash on the Jazz. I probably disagree. I probably lean
35:20
Speaker 1: to Memphis because they had a longer losing streak going
35:23
Speaker 1: into the break, and it looked like they were trying
35:26
Speaker 1: in those games, So I think I probably disagree the Jazz.
35:31
Speaker 1: They I mean, they look like they're just intentionally not
35:34
Speaker 1: playing their best players. So yeah, that's what I think
35:39
Speaker 1: about that. And I believe these are the two teams
35:42
Speaker 1: that traded with each other, right, Like Memphis traded Jackson
35:45
Speaker 1: to Utah, I'm pretty sure, and he's not gonna play
35:48
Speaker 1: now against his former team. I don't know. Miami in
35:50
Speaker 1: Atlanta is the first instance of a team playing on
35:54
Speaker 1: huge rest versus a team that played last night. So
35:57
Speaker 1: Miami has a major rest advantage here, But you're gonna
36:00
Speaker 1: see that's factored into the line. Miami has not played
36:03
Speaker 1: since before the All Star Break. They beat New Orleans
36:06
Speaker 1: going into the All Star Break, but I don't think
36:08
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I don't think the All Star
36:09
Speaker 1: Break is gonna like ruin any really real momentum that
36:13
Speaker 1: they had because they didn't really have any back up.
36:15
Speaker 1: February third, Miami did lose at home to Atlanta, so
36:19
Speaker 1: that's who they're playing here, So they do have a
36:20
Speaker 1: little bit of a quick road revenge angle here against Atlanta.
36:24
Speaker 1: But they were one point favorite at home against Atlanta
36:28
Speaker 1: and that game, and now they're like a three point
36:30
Speaker 1: road favorite here against Atlanta. So I don't know that
36:32
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of line value on Miami here.
36:35
Speaker 1: And some of the line move is because Miami has
36:38
Speaker 1: a huge amount of rest here whereas Atlanta played yesterday,
36:41
Speaker 1: so you know, the Osbakers had to adjust for that
36:44
Speaker 1: huge rest disparity. But I think part of the other
36:46
Speaker 1: reason why the line is where it is is because
36:49
Speaker 1: Tyler hero I believe is making his return. We made
36:53
Speaker 1: a hero he's coming back in this game, and I
36:57
Speaker 1: believe he hasn't played since I don't know, January, probably,
37:01
Speaker 1: so that does make it a reverse injured player spot
37:04
Speaker 1: on Miaman, You know, I talk about that when one
37:06
Speaker 1: of your star players comes back, sometimes there could be
37:09
Speaker 1: an adjustment period that he has to get used to
37:11
Speaker 1: playing again. The team has to reassume their roles. It
37:15
Speaker 1: might make it easier that they're doing it coming out
37:17
Speaker 1: of the break, but it might make it worse in
37:19
Speaker 1: a way because they're just not used to playing with
37:21
Speaker 1: them and now they have to come in cold, and
37:23
Speaker 1: they're all gonna be cold out of the break. So
37:26
Speaker 1: I could see that being both good and bad. So
37:29
Speaker 1: it makes this a very hard handicap. But when you
37:32
Speaker 1: have the star player coming back, it does affect the
37:34
Speaker 1: line and usually you get line value going against that team.
37:37
Speaker 1: But I can't play at Lanta after they had a
37:39
Speaker 1: big win on the road at Philadelphia last night, so
37:43
Speaker 1: they're playing a back to back and having to return
37:45
Speaker 1: home from Philadelphia. So I would still have to look
37:49
Speaker 1: at the heat in this game as the only way
37:51
Speaker 1: to really look at this game. But I don't think
37:53
Speaker 1: I could lay three and a half on the road
37:55
Speaker 1: here man, fifty three percent of ticket, sixty nine percent
37:58
Speaker 1: of the cash on the heat. I mean, if you
38:00
Speaker 1: want to try to go like money line with it
38:02
Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, I mean, that might
38:05
Speaker 1: be okay. I don't know how great the money line
38:08
Speaker 1: prices are going to be on that. But Miami is
38:10
Speaker 1: already up from a two and a half point FAVA
38:11
Speaker 1: to a three and a half point FAVA. It looks
38:13
Speaker 1: like they might wind up being a four point favorite.
38:17
Speaker 1: I think Miami will get the job done, but I
38:20
Speaker 1: think it's just too hefty a price there on Miami.
38:24
Speaker 1: ESPN does have a doubleheader here in the first game
38:27
Speaker 1: is Dallas at Minnesota, and unfortunately for ESPN and for
38:31
Speaker 1: the viewers, Flag is not back. We remember Flag was
38:34
Speaker 1: injured prior to the All Star Break. I thought he
38:37
Speaker 1: would be back out of the All Star Break, but
38:39
Speaker 1: he is not, so he's still not playing. Dallas went
38:43
Speaker 1: into the All Star Break on a huge losing streak.
38:46
Speaker 1: They lost to nine games in a row. I think
38:49
Speaker 1: is what this was. But if you look at the
38:51
Speaker 1: teams that they lost to, most of the teams were good.
38:55
Speaker 1: They lost to the Minnesota team that they're playing tonight
38:57
Speaker 1: at home, by the way, so there is a road
39:00
Speaker 1: vengjangle here for Detroit because they lost at home to
39:03
Speaker 1: Minnesota not that long ago. But the other teams they
39:05
Speaker 1: lost to, you were the Lakers, Charlotte, Houston, Boston Spurs twice,
39:11
Speaker 1: Phoenix Lakers again. So during that losing streak, the Mavericks
39:16
Speaker 1: did not lose to any team that isn't good. So
39:19
Speaker 1: they had a really, really difficult stretch there. So the
39:22
Speaker 1: MAVs are not quite as bad as they might look
39:25
Speaker 1: based on that losing streak. They've had a bunch of
39:28
Speaker 1: time off to break that losing momentum. Yeah, they won't
39:31
Speaker 1: have flag here, but obviously it's gonna be factored into
39:33
Speaker 1: the line. There is the potential that Minnesota doesn't take
39:36
Speaker 1: them seriously because Minnesota beat them in Dallas, I think
39:39
Speaker 1: in a game that flag probably did play. And now
39:43
Speaker 1: they're at home playing against you know, a Dallas team,
39:47
Speaker 1: a flagless Dallas team, and up next Minnesota does have Philadelphia.
39:52
Speaker 1: Minnesota went into the break on a two game win streak. Now,
39:57
Speaker 1: maybe Minnesota will show up just because they are hosting
39:59
Speaker 1: a team game, but you know, I mean, it's the NBA,
40:02
Speaker 1: you're the te Wolves. You do host a lot of
40:04
Speaker 1: TV games, So I'm still not sure how up they're
40:07
Speaker 1: gonna get for this game. I would have to lean
40:09
Speaker 1: to Dallas plus the points in this one not gonna
40:12
Speaker 1: make my card. But the money's kind of all over
40:15
Speaker 1: the place here. Te Wolves are thirteen and a half
40:18
Speaker 1: point favorite here, sixty seven percent of tickets, sixty nine
40:21
Speaker 1: percent of the cash on them. I would take the
40:24
Speaker 1: points with Dallas, but yeah, I'm skipping it. As as
40:28
Speaker 1: I said, I'm skipping this entire board here, Carrot, what's
40:32
Speaker 1: up man? Thanks for hanging out Milwaukee at New Orleans.
40:37
Speaker 1: Of course, this is Milwaukee with no Jannis. It's a
40:40
Speaker 1: very injured Milwaukee team right now. Milwaukee went into the
40:44
Speaker 1: break somehow beating Oklahoma City almost by twenty points on
40:49
Speaker 1: the road on a back to back with travel. I
40:52
Speaker 1: don't know what happened in that game. Of course, it
40:55
Speaker 1: was Oklahoma City without Sga, but still Oklahoma City is
40:58
Speaker 1: really really deep. They're good even without him. I don't
41:01
Speaker 1: know how this Milwaukee team did that. So they went
41:04
Speaker 1: into the break on a really good note. They won
41:06
Speaker 1: five of six games and pulled off a huge upset,
41:09
Speaker 1: so I think that the break will disrupt their momentum.
41:13
Speaker 1: I think if you're gonna look at this game and
41:15
Speaker 1: that you gotta fade Milwaukee. Although they almost got caught
41:18
Speaker 1: by New Orleans last time they played them at Milwaukee,
41:21
Speaker 1: New Orleans took them into overtime, So for that reason,
41:24
Speaker 1: maybe Milwaukee might kind of take them seriously. But I
41:28
Speaker 1: still don't see how you go into the All Star
41:30
Speaker 1: Break off of that massive upset of Oklahoma City and
41:33
Speaker 1: then come out of the All Star Break having potentially
41:36
Speaker 1: lost that momentum that you had for winning five of
41:38
Speaker 1: your last six games, you know, and get up for
41:42
Speaker 1: this game. I don't really see it on New Orleans
41:44
Speaker 1: went into the break on a bad note losing to Miami,
41:48
Speaker 1: so I think they will be up for this game.
41:49
Speaker 1: So I would have to lean to the Pelicans. And
41:52
Speaker 1: the Pelicans are a favorite in this game, and they're
41:54
Speaker 1: getting the money. They're up from three and a half
41:56
Speaker 1: to four here, eighty three percent of the cash on them,
41:59
Speaker 1: fifty of the time it's on the bucks. I have
42:01
Speaker 1: to lean to the Pelicans in this one. This one
42:04
Speaker 1: is almost on my card. Like I think, if I
42:06
Speaker 1: was gonna add any of these NBA games today, it
42:08
Speaker 1: would be this one. I would lay it with New Orleans,
42:12
Speaker 1: although I know that sounds crazy. It sounds difficult to
42:14
Speaker 1: do looking at the team's records. I mean absolutely, nobody's
42:19
Speaker 1: gonna want to lay points with New Orleans in like
42:21
Speaker 1: any situation. But there's a reason why they're favored here. Man.
42:25
Speaker 1: I think they're the less injured team at this point.
42:28
Speaker 1: I think they have most of their guys pretty much
42:30
Speaker 1: here though. Actually Murray and Murphy are both out though,
42:34
Speaker 1: but they do have Queen Zion. You know, those guys
42:37
Speaker 1: are playing, so I don't know. We'll see what happens.
42:39
Speaker 1: But I like the Pelicans in that one. And you know,
42:43
Speaker 1: I might consider it if Milwaukee had a bigger game
42:45
Speaker 1: up next, but I don't think they do. Let me see,
42:49
Speaker 1: well they do of Toronto. I mean, Toronto is looking
42:51
Speaker 1: like they might be a playoff team. You know, I'll
42:58
Speaker 1: skip it, but I like the Pelicans. And one Brooklyn
43:01
Speaker 1: is at Oklahoma City. Brooklyn played yesterday and got absolutely
43:05
Speaker 1: destroyed by Cleveland. But now they're having to travel with
43:08
Speaker 1: no time off from Cleveland to Oklahoma City here. And
43:13
Speaker 1: while I think they'll get up for this game. Oklahoma
43:15
Speaker 1: City went into the All Star Break on that horrible note,
43:18
Speaker 1: losing to Milwaukee, and now they've had the entire All
43:20
Speaker 1: Star break to fix things, you know whatever. SGA is
43:24
Speaker 1: still not back. I don't know if he's gonna come
43:27
Speaker 1: back for the next game. But the concern for Oklahoma
43:29
Speaker 1: City is that their next game is a big TV
43:32
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland, so there is the potential they look
43:35
Speaker 1: ahead here. But this game, I gotta think it's probably
43:39
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City or pass here. Oklahoma City's up to an
43:42
Speaker 1: eighteen point favorite even without SGA. They have a huge
43:46
Speaker 1: rest advantage, so I know that's being factored in. But
43:49
Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma City wins that game in a blowout.
43:52
Speaker 1: But I you know, I don't want to, you know,
43:56
Speaker 1: bank on it or anything like that, but if I
43:58
Speaker 1: was gonna lean in that game, I would lean towards
44:01
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. Covering. The second game of the ESPN doubleheader
44:04
Speaker 1: is La La Clippers Lakers. Clippers played yesterday. They beat
44:10
Speaker 1: Denver too, so they had a nice comeback win against Denver.
44:14
Speaker 1: They're staying in La here. That was at home and
44:16
Speaker 1: now they're going to the Lakers. Nice win though for
44:19
Speaker 1: the Clippers yesterday, Man playing on a back to back
44:23
Speaker 1: after a big win like that, I don't know if
44:25
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to handle a full rostered Lakers team,
44:29
Speaker 1: because you know, the Lakers are back at full strength Man,
44:31
Speaker 1: Luca's been back for a bet. Reeves played the last
44:34
Speaker 1: like three or four games, I think before the All
44:36
Speaker 1: Star break, so these guys are all back. Lebron I
44:40
Speaker 1: assume is playing as well. So we got a fully
44:43
Speaker 1: intact Lakers team now, and the Lakers have not played
44:46
Speaker 1: this before the All Star breaks, so they do have
44:48
Speaker 1: a huge rest advantage here. They beat Dallas going into
44:53
Speaker 1: the All Star break, I don't think that's a big deal.
44:56
Speaker 1: They do a Boston next on Sunday, and you know,
44:59
Speaker 1: we know that's a map survivaly Lakers versus Celtics on NBC,
45:04
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Is there the potential that the
45:06
Speaker 1: Lakers overlook the Clippers, I guess, But because the Clippers
45:09
Speaker 1: just had a massive game yesterday, Lakers have the rest.
45:13
Speaker 1: I would probably have to lay it with the Lakers
45:15
Speaker 1: if I was gonna play this, sixty tickets eighty seven
45:18
Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Lakers. They're six and
45:21
Speaker 1: a half point favorite, and the line is a bit high,
45:23
Speaker 1: I believe, just because again the odds Bakers have to
45:26
Speaker 1: skew this number a bit because of the rest. Like
45:29
Speaker 1: I think, if the rest situation wasn't what it was,
45:32
Speaker 1: the Lakers would probably be like a four point favorite here.
45:36
Speaker 1: So you know, you're not really getting a ton of
45:38
Speaker 1: line value playing the Lakers. But if I was gonna
45:41
Speaker 1: do anything with the game, I think I would still
45:43
Speaker 1: have to lay it with the Lakers and then Denver
45:45
Speaker 1: at Portland. Denver, of course lost the game yesterday the
45:49
Speaker 1: Clippers tough game, and now they're having to travel from
45:53
Speaker 1: the Clippers to Portland. They might not totally take Portland seriously.
45:58
Speaker 1: And up next they got Golden State, Boston, Oklahoma City,
46:02
Speaker 1: Minnesota four straight TV games on ABC and ESVN, So
46:07
Speaker 1: those are four big games coming up after this Portland game. Man,
46:10
Speaker 1: so you could make the argument this is maybe a sandwich.
46:15
Speaker 1: I guess I would lean to Portland in this one. Portland,
46:20
Speaker 1: I don't believe they played since the All Star breaks,
46:22
Speaker 1: so they do have a lot of rest here, so
46:24
Speaker 1: they're a much more rested team. Will of course that
46:26
Speaker 1: will factor into the number here. Though, but I think
46:29
Speaker 1: Portland is still going to be a home underdog in
46:31
Speaker 1: this game. Though Portland Drew Holliday came back shortly before
46:35
Speaker 1: the All Star Break, I think he will play in
46:37
Speaker 1: this game. He had a couple of good games in
46:40
Speaker 1: there Portland. The fact they went into the All Star
46:44
Speaker 1: Break winning four of five, I mean, I guess you
46:46
Speaker 1: could argue the All Star break might hurt their momentum
46:49
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I'm expecting them to show up.
46:52
Speaker 1: With the Nuggets coming to town, I would look towards
46:54
Speaker 1: the Blazers in this game if I was gonna play it.
46:57
Speaker 1: Seventy two of the ticket sixty percent of the ash
47:00
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets, so they're a public side with less
47:02
Speaker 1: of the money. They are favorites still, although down from
47:06
Speaker 1: three to one and a half. But you know the
47:07
Speaker 1: public's gonna look at that and be like, oh, pick
47:09
Speaker 1: the winner. This is easy. Pick the Nuggets, right. The
47:12
Speaker 1: Nuggets should bounce back, but it's a tough spot. Man
47:15
Speaker 1: with travel with no days off, I would have to
47:18
Speaker 1: lean to the Trailblazers in that game. And though those
47:21
Speaker 1: are my thoughts on the NBA, man, I think if
47:24
Speaker 1: I was gonna play any of them. It would be
47:26
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, though, but I think the number is just
47:30
Speaker 1: a bit high for my liking there, So we're staying
47:32
Speaker 1: away from all that. I wonder do we have hockey?
47:37
Speaker 1: Does pregames show us any of the hockey here? All sports?
47:42
Speaker 1: Let's see if they do. I don't think they do.
47:45
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the the Olympic hockey in here, man,
47:48
Speaker 1: they just have NHL. But what I could tell you
47:51
Speaker 1: in Olympic hockey is we have the semifinals today, I believe,
47:57
Speaker 1: actually probably coming up soon. I might I might even
47:59
Speaker 1: be missing the boat here on this. I don't know,
48:02
Speaker 1: because I think it's in Italy right. But for the
48:05
Speaker 1: hockey games, I think it's obviously just destined to this point.
48:09
Speaker 1: I think that you're gonna get US versus Canada in
48:11
Speaker 1: the final for men's hockey. I know the US women's
48:15
Speaker 1: team just won. I don't even think women's hockey exists,
48:17
Speaker 1: so I think they beat Canada. But US and Canada
48:22
Speaker 1: are both huge favorites here. One of them is playing Finland,
48:25
Speaker 1: one of them is playing Slovakia. I forget which is
48:28
Speaker 1: even playing which, But I think those games the favorites
48:30
Speaker 1: are gonna win the games easily because both the US
48:33
Speaker 1: and Canada both got taken into overtime in their last
48:37
Speaker 1: games by inferior teams, so I expect a better showing
48:40
Speaker 1: for both the US and Canada. I would be looking
48:44
Speaker 1: towards maybe going over their team totals or something like
48:48
Speaker 1: that in the games today. You know, I'm not an
48:51
Speaker 1: Olympic Hockey handicapper, but I know how scheduling dynamics working.
48:56
Speaker 1: When you had two teams that were big favorites and
48:59
Speaker 1: almost lost, I expect both those teams to show up
49:01
Speaker 1: with a lot more intensity, so I think that's what
49:05
Speaker 1: you'll get. I think the US and Canada will both
49:07
Speaker 1: certainly win their respective games today. You couldn't look to
49:11
Speaker 1: lay like puck lines with them, maybe, but they're both
49:14
Speaker 1: huge favorites, so the puck lines, you're probably gonna be
49:17
Speaker 1: asking them to win by multiple goals, so that might
49:20
Speaker 1: not be that preferable. I think over their team totals
49:23
Speaker 1: might be the way to look for both of those teams.
49:26
Speaker 1: And those are my thoughts on Olympic hockey very briefly.
49:29
Speaker 1: There if one of the teams has a major outlier
49:32
Speaker 1: in the game, though, you might want to look to
49:34
Speaker 1: fade that team in the next game, because I think
49:37
Speaker 1: US versus Canada almost entirely likely that will be the matchup.
49:41
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a close line between the
49:43
Speaker 1: US and Canada. I think they're pretty closely matched. I
49:46
Speaker 1: don't think one team is that much better than the other.
49:48
Speaker 1: I think Canada will be a slight favorite. So that's
49:52
Speaker 1: what I'm expecting. But I don't know that much about it.
49:55
Speaker 1: So but based on you know, what happened in like
49:58
Speaker 1: the Foreig Nations last year. Whatever. But we'll see. I'm
50:01
Speaker 1: watching the Miracle on Ice documentary on Netflix right now,
50:06
Speaker 1: the one that came out not that long ago, so
50:09
Speaker 1: we'll be in Olympic hockey mode at least. And one
50:12
Speaker 1: thing I didn't realize is that back in nineteen eighty,
50:15
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't alive yet, so I didn't realize
50:17
Speaker 1: this that the US team was basically all college players
50:22
Speaker 1: that year because NHL players were not allowed to play
50:26
Speaker 1: on the Olympic team, which seems ridiculous. Like the NHL players,
50:30
Speaker 1: like the NHL players who are from the US, like
50:32
Speaker 1: they're obviously like the best players in the US. That's
50:35
Speaker 1: why they're in the NHL and you're not allowed to
50:38
Speaker 1: have them on the Olympic team. That seems stupid. So
50:41
Speaker 1: I'm glad that that changed, where obviously the NHL players
50:45
Speaker 1: are playing in the Olympics now, but that seems just
50:47
Speaker 1: insane to me that that was the case back then.
50:50
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why the US played so
50:52
Speaker 1: well that year was, first of all, the game was
50:54
Speaker 1: in the US, it was in Lake Placid, New York.
50:57
Speaker 1: But also there was a lot of continuity there because
51:00
Speaker 1: like a large group of the US team were guys
51:04
Speaker 1: that played at the University of Minnesota, and they had
51:07
Speaker 1: their coach from the University of Minnesota, and all those
51:09
Speaker 1: guys were there and the you know, and being coached
51:13
Speaker 1: by that coach for the US team. So it kind
51:17
Speaker 1: of reminded me of like, that's why Drake did as
51:19
Speaker 1: well as they did last year, the Drake in college basketball,
51:23
Speaker 1: even though all those guys had moved up from Division two.
51:25
Speaker 1: But when you have guys that have this chemistry together,
51:28
Speaker 1: this core group of players, that's what happened. Man with
51:31
Speaker 1: like Ben McCollum, he brought all of his players up
51:34
Speaker 1: from Division two and they were Drake last year, and
51:37
Speaker 1: that's why they played so well, and now they've had
51:39
Speaker 1: some of that continuity into Iowa as well. But of
51:42
Speaker 1: course they're playing you know, they're playing much tougher competition
51:46
Speaker 1: with Iowa. But it does look like they will make
51:48
Speaker 1: the tournament. And I think they have fewer of the
51:52
Speaker 1: guys that they had last year, but they still have
51:53
Speaker 1: a few of them. No, there's no way Canada loses
51:59
Speaker 1: to Finland and it's not gonna happen. Absolutely not Finland.
52:05
Speaker 1: Finland just almost or excuse, Canada just almost lost their
52:11
Speaker 1: last game, so you know they're gonna show up. They
52:13
Speaker 1: almost lost to some inferior team. No, no way, you're
52:18
Speaker 1: gonna get the better team in a focused spot. Canada
52:21
Speaker 1: is gonna blow them out. Finland. Who did Finland just beat?
52:26
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Did Finland want an overtime too?
52:30
Speaker 1: Didn't they? I don't know. So, I mean they'll try
52:33
Speaker 1: to show up. But if you're gonna get the better
52:34
Speaker 1: team Canada in a focused spot, no, I don't think so.
52:40
Speaker 1: Hold on Finland, who do they just play? I'm looking
52:46
Speaker 1: right now Milan Olympics. Yeah, yeah, they went to overtime
52:57
Speaker 1: against Switzerlandia, so that wasn't a great performance. From them.
53:01
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they were the favorite in that one, but no,
53:05
Speaker 1: I don't think so, especially since the prior game Finland
53:08
Speaker 1: put up eleven goals against Italy against the home team.
53:12
Speaker 1: But Italy, I mean they can't play hockey, So no,
53:15
Speaker 1: I don't buy that at all, even though, yeah, Finland
53:20
Speaker 1: did have a tough game in the last game, like
53:22
Speaker 1: they had a game where they underperformed in the last
53:25
Speaker 1: game because they were coming off an eleven goal game.
53:27
Speaker 1: But no, I don't see it. Canada's coming off a
53:30
Speaker 1: bad performance themselves. So yeah, no, I think Canada wins
53:34
Speaker 1: easily in that game. But that that is gonna do it. Plus,
53:41
Speaker 1: you know, it's just obviously we're just destined to have
53:45
Speaker 1: US versus Canada. That's the matchup that everybody wants to see.
53:48
Speaker 1: Nobody gives a shit about Finland. Who does Finland even
53:51
Speaker 1: have on their team? They probably do. They have My
53:53
Speaker 1: boy took a rask Ise their goalie. He might be
53:58
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's yeah. No, I don't think
54:02
Speaker 1: some Canada is the better team coming off a bad performance.
54:05
Speaker 1: I think they will win by multiple goals in that game.
54:10
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it. Oh yeah, once again, My play
54:13
Speaker 1: for today is VCU plus the points in college basketball.
54:17
Speaker 1: We're jumping on the the two angles that I like,
54:20
Speaker 1: the road revenge plus the lose the same game twice
54:23
Speaker 1: angle for a team that lost a massive win streak.
54:27
Speaker 1: We'll go with VCUU. That's gonna do it. Learn a

55:16
Speaker 1: and I will be back tonight, I guess. Because we
55:19
Speaker 1: got college basketball, we still don't have hockey, so the
55:22
Speaker 1: Saturday will still be a little bit easier for me,
55:25
Speaker 1: but I'll probably have to do college basketball tonight. Last
55:29
Speaker 1: week it was easier for me because it was only
55:30
Speaker 1: college basketball. But we'll do college basketball and then there
55:34
Speaker 1: will be NBA tomorrow. Unfortunately, I'll have more work to do.
55:39
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll finally have an NBA play again. I feel
55:41
Speaker 1: like I'm skipping the NBA a lot, man, but I'm
55:43
Speaker 1: trying to be selective here, so that's gonna do it.
55:48
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and yeah, I'll be back.
55:51
Speaker 1: You know, you'll see the notification when I go live.
55:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be tonight or tomorrow because
55:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a lot of handicapping to do it
55:57
Speaker 1: the Saturday college basketball slate, but you know, I'm gonna
56:01
Speaker 1: have some place because it's a giant board. So that's
56:04
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Thanks everybody, Thanks for hanging out. Dirty
56:07
Speaker 1: sock Garrett, she squealed, Thanks guys, I hope Jeffrey is
56:12
Speaker 1: all right. We haven't seen Jeffrey in a long time.
56:14
Speaker 1: He might have splurged his entire bank roll. I don't know,
56:17
Speaker 1: Maybe he's hanging out a Buffalo wild Wings with no
56:21
Speaker 1: more money to bet. I don't know. Well, I think
56:24
Speaker 1: he's fine because I see him on Twitter a little bit.
56:26
Speaker 1: But yeah, hopefully he comes back, come back to us.
56:30
Speaker 1: Jeffrey all right, that's gonna do it for now. Thanks guys,
56:33
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Peace,
