0:02
What's up guys, welcome to Conference championship weekend.
0:06
This is targeting winners 8 college football betting
0:08
podcast. I am Darren, joined as always by
0:11
Tim and Pete. Tim, how we doing today?
0:14
I'm doing good, still licking my wounds from rivalry weekend.
0:19
Well, you still have a long way to go before you match my 2020.
0:22
Fewer futility, so I don't feel bad.
0:25
Pete, how you doing man? Well, you know, after last
0:28
weekend, which was not not surprising at all, I'm I'm doing
0:31
OK. So I was just hoping to be
0:34
searching for a coach ourselves this week and unfortunately we
0:37
are not. So I with Michigan, we're a
0:39
little conservative. We have to wait to really suck
0:42
before we actually fire somebody.
0:43
So by about mid next season, we'll be lamenting the fact that
0:47
that Jackass is still here. But until then, here we are.
0:50
I do see your special teams coach was let go.
0:53
So I mean, you know, it's. Yeah, great.
0:54
Yeah, Yeah, he was, he was the problem.
0:56
He he was definitely the problem, not the fact that we
0:58
have virtually no talent at the skill position because he can't
1:02
recruit anybody. That's not the problem at all.
1:04
That's. All his fault.
1:05
It's all his special teams fault.
1:07
All right, guys, we're going to talk about a few things here.
1:10
First, we're going to clean up a little bit of housekeeping.
1:12
First of all, we know we have some podcast listeners from
1:15
Missouri. And if you're a resident of the
1:17
Show Me State, congratulations. Welcome to sports betting.
1:20
As of December 1st. You can suffer with the rest of
1:23
it. There you go.
1:25
Applause to Missouri. So yeah, if this is your first
1:27
time joining us, you're looking for some little bit of info on
1:30
college football. Welcome.
1:31
If you've been listening to us all, now you can.
1:34
Now you can blow some money like we do.
1:36
Second thing, for the third year in a row, we are running a bowl
1:40
game pick em contest through ESPN.
1:42
It's their Capital One Bowl Mania pick em contest is set up.
1:47
We got a couple of you in there already.
1:48
Basically, you're going to pick every bowl game against the
1:50
spread. Once that schedule comes out,
1:52
the lines come out. ESPN does not change them.
1:55
You just need to make sure you get your pick in before the kick
1:58
off of each particular game. Probably going to throw at least
2:01
a couple $100 in there depending on how many people show up and
2:05
sign up. Usually we just it's winner take
2:07
all, but if we get enough people, maybe we'll play second,
2:09
maybe 3rd. I'm going to put the link is up.
2:12
If you're part of the Facebook group, you can check it there.
2:14
If you check out our YouTube home page, it is there on the
2:16
post tab and I will also put a link to the contest in the
2:21
description. It's private.
2:22
The password is TW2025I don't think you need that.
2:25
If you click the link, but sign in, join up, it's free.
2:29
You get to win Tim's money because you know he's the one
2:31
with the profitable only fans account.
2:33
So that's where it all comes from.
2:37
But yeah, sure. Yeah, I mean, whatever pays the
2:41
bills, right? All right, so before we get into
2:44
the nine games, guys, I don't know if you noticed this or not,
2:47
but there was one or two coaching changes on Sunday, a
2:53
couple dozen. I mean, some of them within like
2:56
minutes of each other. We're not going to get into them
2:58
all here because that's that's another show for for the
3:01
offseason. And Tim actually put out a video
3:04
with Mark from coacheshotseat.com where they
3:05
went over some of those openings.
3:08
The thought process by and keeping a guy by and firing a
3:10
guy. Have some video.
3:11
Check it out if you get a chance.
3:13
All right, guys, we've gone through them.
3:16
You know, you've seen them all. Pete, we'll start with you.
3:18
What is your favorite hire so far and why?
3:23
Well, I mean, we talked about James Franklin already, which I
3:25
think was a really good one, but that happened before this
3:27
weekend. All right.
3:28
So to me, I think, I think Pat Fitzgerald that Michigan State
3:32
is really interesting, right? So I, I think the Big 10 is
3:36
served well by Michigan State being at least serviceable, if
3:40
not better than serviceable. I mean, the writing was on the
3:42
wall for a while that Jonathan Smith was going to be out,
3:44
right. No surprise there.
3:46
You know, Pat Fitzgerald, a guy that knows the Big 10 did a did
3:50
a good job at Northwestern. Obviously with the, you know,
3:53
stuff that happened there, which, you know, in retrospect,
3:56
with the, you know, with the hazing, the stuff that happened
3:58
and all that, it turns out in retrospect that he didn't know
4:00
what was going on. At least he was cleared of
4:02
knowing what's happening. So it looks like he was in the
4:05
clear, at least I hope he was. But I think he will do a good
4:09
job at Michigan State. It's a good place for him to
4:11
land. It's a good program or can be a
4:13
good program. And they showed this in the
4:14
past. So, yeah, I mean, I think he can
4:17
do well. I mean, it was funny.
4:18
We were talking about it, Darren.
4:20
Like that name popped up immediately.
4:22
I mean, it was like that was ready to go.
4:24
It's it's it's not a big surprise to me.
4:26
It it fits the profile of who that team is.
4:29
So, so yeah, I think it makes a heck of a lot of sense for them.
4:33
I mean, they didn't give Jonathan Smith a chance.
4:35
I mean, that was another to me, that was their rich rod at
4:38
Sparty. It's like they just never gave
4:40
the guy a chance. I mean, you bring in a guy from
4:41
outside the conference and it just never, it never had
4:45
traction. So whatever, that's fine.
4:46
But yeah, I think I think that could work out well, at least to
4:50
stabilize things that that program's been a mess for a
4:53
while now. So if nothing else, I think
4:55
you'll stabilize the program, get things under control, you
4:58
know, so I think they're going to start winning nine games
4:59
anytime soon. I do not, but I but I do think
5:02
they can be a serviceable program.
5:03
So for that program, I like that higher.
5:07
I think it's a good one. Dan, what's your favorite?
5:10
Well, I mean, it's real easy to, you know, to pick the obvious
5:14
one that sent shockwaves through the coaching, the coach, the
5:18
college football world, if you will.
5:20
I mean, obviously I'm talking about Jim Mora to Colorado
5:22
State, but I'm not going to talk about that one because there was
5:26
someone named Norvell fired, but not the one everyone thought
5:28
that it was. Jay Norvell.
5:31
My favorite is also a good qualifier is my least favorite
5:36
because of where he went. But John Sumrall to Florida, I
5:39
think he was the best group of five coach available to and the
5:43
fact that he's might actually make Florida good makes me sick
5:49
to my stomach a little bit. But I really, as I covered in
5:53
the coaching episode, you can go back and check it on YouTube.
5:55
Ding So but yeah, it's my favorite.
6:00
Could be my least favorite. At the same time, yeah, he might
6:04
do good things. Or Florida.
6:05
And that, that upsets me greatly.
6:10
Well, there there was, there was, there was about 5 or 6 that
6:12
I actually did like. But I think when I looked at
6:14
everything together, I think James Franklin is actually still
6:17
my favorite one just from a recruiting standpoint.
6:21
He's familiar with that area of the country.
6:23
I mean, say what you want about him, the guy did win.
6:26
I mean, you always talk about Penn State being contended for
6:29
the Big 10 title. You know, they did get to the
6:31
final four in the initial 12 team playoff.
6:35
And Tim, I was talking with you on the phone the other night.
6:37
What's the big knock on him? Well dude, can't beat a top five
6:40
or a top top ten team. I don't know if anybody's
6:41
checked the AC. Not a problem in the ACC.
6:44
He's certainly going to the right conference if he's looking
6:47
to avoid top ten team because the ACC does not have any.
6:51
So you can strike that from from the knock against him.
6:54
Even today, signing day was yesterday.
6:57
He took a ton of early commits to Penn State and flipped them
7:00
over to him. I think the portal opens on
7:03
January 2nd. He's probably going to get some
7:05
more Penn State players to come and join him and we all know
7:08
that team's bad as their record was, there's still a lot of
7:11
talent on that squad. So everything considered, he
7:15
eeks out some of the other guys I had written down as my
7:18
favorite. So I'm going to I'm going to
7:20
stick with with our boy big game.
7:22
James. Tim, we'll start with you.
7:24
If you have a different one than Summerall that you hated or
7:28
don't like for a certain program, what which one is that?
7:32
Well, I mean, yeah, obviously the one I already said, the one
7:36
that you were just talking about as well, is that makes Virginia
7:38
Tech good. That also affects the Florida
7:40
State a little bit. So I really don't like that too
7:42
much. But if it does, maybe get some
7:44
more coaches to come to the ACC and make the conference better
7:47
as a whole because I don't think any teams going anywhere, just
7:53
not one. I don't see one that I really
7:54
just hate. Another one that I kind of like,
7:56
just addition by subtraction would be Auburn get rid of Hugh
8:00
Freeze. So we'll see what the goal is
8:03
Likes does over there in Auburn, but I can't think one that I
8:07
really hate, you know, 'cause they haven't really done
8:11
anything yet. But yeah, if I had to pick
8:14
another one to hate, it would be James Franklin making that good.
8:17
So that's. Right.
8:20
If Florida State was good, they could.
8:23
Really, it's another team that's going to beat Florida State.
8:26
That's the only. Reason.
8:26
Yeah. So, you know, I think.
8:28
What's the one? What's the one you don't like?
8:31
And before I say that, I mean, you mentioned Jim Mora.
8:33
I thought that was a pretty good hire for that program as well.
8:35
I mean, I think he'll he'll stabilize that program.
8:37
I think he'll do a good job there.
8:38
So that was a good that was a good hire.
8:40
The two that I just don't quite think are going to do anything,
8:43
Stanford, Tavita Pritchard, that guy wasn't getting a coaching
8:45
job anywhere else. So I don't know what where
8:47
that's going at all. I mean, that was the only place
8:50
that guy was going to get a coaching job.
8:51
So I don't I don't know what that is that that I think is a
8:54
dud. And then Oregon State going with
8:56
Jamarcus Shepard. Hell, they could have got
8:58
Jonathan Smith back. I mean, who did a great job and
9:01
why not go bring him back? I mean, that doesn't make any
9:03
sense at all to me when you could have got Jonathan back.
9:05
So that that one I don't get. But those are the two that I
9:08
just a bit a bit baffle me, but those are that those two.
9:13
Yeah, no, I agree with that. The one I didn't like, I wasn't
9:16
thrilled with the whole way that Arkansas kind of handled
9:21
everything they did. Like somebody leaked out early
9:24
last week that they had gotten goalish and then goalish came
9:27
out last Friday and was like, that didn't come from me or any
9:30
of my people, you know? Then goalish goes to goes to
9:34
Auburn. And then I feel like they kind
9:36
of just settled on Ryan Silverfield from Memphis.
9:41
I mean, yeah, I mean, you won at Memphis.
9:42
That's great. But in in all those years there,
9:44
you never won a conference title.
9:46
It's not like the American was loaded with high quality teams
9:49
top to bottom. Then again, Hunter Eurocheck is
9:53
their AD. If you've watched him on the
9:54
college football ranking show, you know, he's a complete tool.
9:57
So I mean, it doesn't really surprise me, but yeah, I I
10:01
wasn't a fan of that one at all. I don't know who he's going to
10:05
get to follow him. Taylen Green is supposedly out
10:07
of eligibility, so I don't know who he's going to, you know,
10:10
what he's doing at the quarterback position.
10:13
I mean, obviously between now and the portal opening, a lot
10:16
can change with these rosters. But yeah, I just think how that
10:20
was handled I think already kind of sets it up for for kind of
10:24
felt like he was like the fourth or fifth choice and that's who
10:28
they got. And I'm not so sure he's going
10:30
to succeed there, at least not initially.
10:33
But we didn't even, we didn't mention Lane Kiffin, which was
10:37
foregone A conclusion for a while, right?
10:39
So, yeah, yeah. While I was driving, I was
10:42
listening to Colin Coward and he had Joel Klatt on, I believe
10:48
who's and he's not like a Skip Bayless, Stephen A Smith type.
10:50
He kind of like more. He was meant talking about the
10:54
Penn State opening and he was saying that one of the reasons
10:59
that they haven't had a coach yet is that that coach is still
11:02
coaching and he went through the process of elimination.
11:06
Now here's the scenario he he mentioned, he says he has no
11:09
proof of this, but I want this to happen is that he thinks that
11:14
one, one of the coaches Penn State may be going after, we've
11:17
got Manny Diaz, Caitlin de Boer. So could you see a scenario
11:23
where Caitlin de Boer takes the Penn State job?
11:26
Alabama comes open. Lane Kiffin 2 weeks over there
11:32
to Alabama. I want that to happen so bad.
11:35
No, not going to rain on your parade, but de Boer already came
11:38
out today and said he's got no interest in the Penn State job.
11:41
Nobody's contacted him. His people haven't reached out
11:43
to them, so I don't think that's going to happen.
11:46
Did he say he's going? To pray on it like Glenn Kiffin
11:49
did before. No, we're not praying.
11:51
Maybe he's some kind of devil worshiper.
11:52
I have no idea, but maybe he. Cranks up the White Zombie
11:55
always tell the truth. I mean, maybe he just cranks up
11:58
the White Zombie and lets the the voices in his head tell him
12:01
what to. Who knows?
12:01
Apparently the two odds on favorite are the guy currently
12:05
coaching them right now, whose name escapes me, and our boy
12:10
Ray's favorite head coach of all time, Brian Dayball, apparently.
12:13
Yeah, I've heard. That.
12:15
From you. So we'll see how that goes.
12:18
All right, but enough about that.
12:19
We're going to have a whole show on that once all these vacancies
12:22
get filled, probably sometime in February or early March or
12:26
whatever. But we're all here for one
12:28
reason. Well, nine reasons actually.
12:30
So Tim, I'm assuming you have these in chronological order.
12:34
We've got bets like. I think I have.
12:38
Well, you've got 8 and then you have BYU to win the conference.
12:41
That's the only game you didn't bet on.
12:43
Well. Technically I did, but yeah.
12:45
That's what I'm saying. Not today.
12:47
So get it going, man. All right.
12:51
First one, we got Conference USA, Jacksonville State, the
12:55
line opened at Jack's 8 -, a point and a half they're
12:59
actually getting. It's shifted over to the last
13:01
time I checked on Hard Rock, they were getting 2 1/2.
13:04
I got them just money line to win this game.
13:09
They do have a rushing advantage and the turnover favor.
13:14
This is something we're looking for, the turnovers.
13:16
This game is actually played in Alabama.
13:17
This is one of those better record gets.
13:20
The home field turnover advantage is +9 to a -, 2.
13:26
So that's going to be, I'm thinking, a couple extra
13:28
possessions for Jacksonville State.
13:31
The edge on special teams, I guess are slightly better for
13:34
Kennesaw, but that's not going to.
13:37
I'd rather have the turnover differential than the kicking
13:40
game advantage. I think Kennesaw State will keep
13:44
it interesting. I think it's going to be a one
13:46
score game, so I'm looking at it and I think it's going to be
13:49
something like, you know, 2724 or something.
13:51
But I think Jacksonville State can actually pull this one out
13:54
here and so I went with that on the money line.
13:57
I got plus 115 Jack State to win Conference USA.
14:05
You got it. Yeah, I like it.
14:07
I mean, I looked over under 58 1/2.
14:09
I looked at it. You know, I think the score
14:11
might be a little more than that, but I like where you're
14:13
going with that. So, and I was considering the
14:15
over on this play on this thing. I didn't pull the trigger on it,
14:19
but I did consider it because I think there's going to be some
14:21
scoring here. So I do, I do like your bet.
14:25
I think this is going to be an offensive forward offense
14:27
forward game. I would not be surprised.
14:30
It's a bit of a shootout here, so it should be kind of fun.
14:32
That 58 1/2 is not absurdly high, especially for a game like
14:35
this. So I think this is a very
14:37
achievable number. And so that's what I think.
14:40
So I was leaning on this over said I didn't play it, but I
14:43
would not be surprised at all this thing went over.
14:44
So those are my thoughts. I, I, I got a strong lean to the
14:47
over as well. Kennesaw State, man, they play
14:49
with some serious tempo. If if you're you're a Mac guy
14:52
from back in the day when Sean Lewis ran the Kent State Golden
14:55
Flashes and they ran a play like every second and a half.
14:59
It's basically Kennesaw State is almost kind of the same thing.
15:03
Two decent quarterbacks. This could be I, I got a feeling
15:07
this is this is going to be in the mid 60s, but I didn't bet it
15:10
either. Totals aren't really my thing,
15:12
but just looking at pace of play, yeah, Kennesaw State's
15:15
going to run these boys up and and Jacksonville State's going
15:19
to have to do everything they can to keep up, and I think they
15:21
will. But yeah, seriously into the
15:24
over on this one. Interesting.
15:29
Well, should we just keep on going?
15:30
Run right through. Absolutely all.
15:32
Right. What we got now we got James
15:35
Madison and Troy. You guys have any thoughts on
15:37
this game? You just want me to just keep on
15:38
running. You guys only put in a couple
15:40
bets. I thought we were betting on all
15:41
of them. That's why I just went ahead and
15:43
looked into these for. Yeah, why would we ever force a
15:46
bet just to have a bet on every game?
15:47
I hope Troy wins because Pete's got them in the future to win
15:50
the Sunbelt. So I'm exactly that's what I do.
15:54
I don't care how much learned on Troy is I'm pulling for Troy,
15:57
OK? Well, money line, Troy, that's
16:00
the bet here. Go for it.
16:02
Come on, Troy. Well, I did not bet on a on a
16:05
winner here. I did bet.
16:07
I took a went to the Pete playbook.
16:09
The over under was 47 and. 1/2. I mean, just by looking at the
16:14
points per game, I mean James Madison, they're averaging in
16:17
the 30s and Troy's averaging in the mid to high 20s.
16:19
So just right there. But I also like the third down
16:23
efficiency for James Madison or they stay on the field an awful
16:28
lot. I think Troy's defense bulls, I
16:33
think it's going to struggle a little bit because James
16:36
Madison's a little more balanced.
16:38
I think that Troy can still reach, you know, about 20 to 25
16:42
points. I think James Madison will take
16:44
the take it from there. So I like this.
16:47
I like James Madison probably getting into the 30s by
16:50
themselves, like 30-5, maybe even 38 on this.
16:53
So, and I was originally looked at it before I looked at the
16:55
lines. I was thinking the overrunner
16:57
would have been like 56 or something.
16:58
And I thought it was 47. So that's when I really looked
17:01
into it. And yeah, so I think look at it
17:05
this way. I'm getting about eight points
17:07
on this and I probably, if it was still in the 50s, I'd
17:10
probably still bet the over. So I'm going to bet the over at
17:12
47 1/2, Aaron. I'm, I'm obviously pulling for
17:20
you, but I don't know how Troy's going to even score 14 points in
17:24
this game. I mean, Goose Crowder is
17:25
supposedly back working his way back from an injury.
17:28
James Madison's defense is legit, but they could certainly
17:31
get into the 40s on their own here.
17:35
But yeah, I just, I I want Troy to win for the sake of Pete's
17:38
futures bet. But this is going to, this might
17:41
be the the ugliest game of the weekend.
17:43
I, I, I fear for Troy. Plus, I mean, James Madison,
17:47
they need some style points. I mean, if they want to, you
17:50
know, if they want to get into the into the 12 team, it would
17:53
not hurt them to to put a whooping on if the opportunity
17:57
presents itself. But yeah, I wouldn't touch this
18:00
game vote. Troy.
18:03
Yeah, exactly. But yeah, in summary, absolutely
18:06
go Troy. Absolutely.
18:08
Troy. So any final thoughts, Peter,
18:12
other than go Troy? No, just go, Troy.
18:18
OK. All right.
18:19
The ACT. Anybody else got a bet on this
18:23
one? Is it just me again going solo?
18:24
Yeah, I'm going too, but you can go first.
18:27
Oh, OK. For this one, I got North Texas
18:31
that are giving up two and a half.
18:32
They are a scoring machine. I like how both coaches seem to
18:36
be sticking around for this game.
18:38
So they're not going to. I guess with the Power 5 going
18:41
up, it's not a big deal as you know, going to one of your
18:43
rivals into another different conference.
18:46
So yeah, I think Tulane's going to struggle to keep up with the
18:52
offense a little bit. I think 2 1/2, if it was 3 1/2,
18:55
I might have a difference. But yeah, I'm expecting some
18:58
big, big plays, fast scoring and even on the road, I think North
19:02
Texas can cover this. They are 10 and two against the
19:04
spread this year. I just like the way it's
19:06
thinking. And yeah, over under is pretty
19:09
enticing as well. Be I'm I'm guessing you bet on
19:12
that. So let me have it.
19:14
What you got? Indeed I did.
19:16
I agree with you what you said. There's going to be some scoring
19:18
total of 66 1/2 that I got. You got 67 1/2 on a slide, but I
19:21
got 66 1/2. Yeah, there's going to be some
19:24
scoring for sure. North Texas is going to light it
19:26
up. I think Tulane is going to try
19:27
to light it up along with them. I think you can get a bit of a
19:30
shootout here, which happens in these championships games quite
19:33
a bit other than the SEC and such.
19:35
So we'll talk about that later. But yeah, I expect there's going
19:39
to be some scoring and especially in a game like this,
19:42
some late game aggression if it's close.
19:43
So they're going to be flinging a ball around.
19:46
I think it's going to, I think we're going to see a lot of a
19:48
lot of touchdowns here. So explosive plays on both sides
19:51
could be fun to watch. The total is high, but it's not
19:53
ridiculous. I mean, easily, I mean, I can
19:56
see 30s on both sides. I could easily see this thing
19:58
going over. So once again, it could be a fun
20:01
game to watch. It's in obviously it's in New
20:02
Orleans. The weather is not a factor.
20:04
I mean, so it's it's set up to be a shootout.
20:07
You got one team that's definitely going to score North
20:09
Texas. So and Tulane can I've watched
20:12
them do it this year. So I expect that they will try
20:14
to do so as well. So could be a fun game and I am
20:18
going on the over here of 66 1/2.
20:21
So those are my thoughts. I agree with everything you guys
20:25
said. Nothing to add over then enjoy
20:27
Drew Mestermeyer before he goes to Oklahoma State with Eric
20:30
Morris and leads them to a three and nine season next year.
20:35
I like the North Texas play. Yeah.
20:36
I don't know. Tulane can score.
20:38
I don't know if they can keep up, man.
20:40
I mean they're. Going to try.
20:42
Like on a different level, it seems you never thought I'd be
20:44
saying that about anybody in the in the American.
20:47
But yeah, I like North Texas to win and cover here.
20:52
OK oh and you guys with me on this one.
20:56
I got the Mountain West. I am not on that one.
21:00
All right, well. You are but not into Go UNLV
21:06
another one of futures bets for. Pete.
21:09
To win this game. Yes, All right, well, Boise
21:12
State, take it on UNLV. It's going to be cold and rainy
21:15
conditions at home. It's going to be city rain
21:17
throughout the night. The passing edge for UNLV is
21:21
going to be diminished a little bit by by that.
21:24
I think boys are taking control of the clock.
21:26
They got to the good ground game.
21:28
It'll be fewer big plays. There's still be a couple, but
21:31
there's not going to be a lot more.
21:32
If it were a clear, you know, bombing 40° or something like
21:36
that, this is going to be probably about 33° with steady
21:39
rain at kickoff. I did double check what the
21:44
weather is like in Nevada since we were there in the winter time
21:47
before a few years ago, Pete. And yeah, it was kind of cold
21:51
there. It's all 60s all week, so it's
21:53
like a 30° difference with the slick rain and everything.
21:57
I think that will play a factor in this instead of betting on
22:03
the line. I got the under of 58 1/2,
22:06
opened up at 57 1/2, went to 58, so I took the extra point.
22:09
I'm taking the under of 58 1/2. This would be a muck up game.
22:14
Lower Swaring. Yeah, interesting.
22:18
I mean, first of all, go UNLV. But outside of that, yeah, I
22:22
mean, I, I would if the weather was going to be good, if this
22:25
were like, you know, in a Dome somewhere, whatever, I would go
22:28
over. But that that weather is
22:30
definitely a factor, right. And I think if it is going to be
22:33
like that, I like that play. I mean, definitely leading that
22:36
under if it's going to be a steady rain.
22:38
And that's kind of what I tried to do with the Michigan, Ohio
22:41
State thing last year. I was expecting the snow to
22:42
start earlier and the snow would have helped and it would have
22:44
been, you know, it would have helped my play.
22:47
So, yeah, if it's going to rain, I like your under bet so good.
22:50
Good bet. Otherwise, I don't care what the
22:52
hell it does go. You went.
22:53
I'll be. Yeah.
22:54
It did say steady rain and a high was 38, so I believe by the
22:57
end of the game it's probably going to be down, you know,
22:59
later. Right now it'd be 3332 losing
23:01
rain. Cold, slick ball.
23:03
Yeah, that would lead to an under, right?
23:06
Yeah, a lot less third down conversion.
23:08
I'm thinking a lot of punting. Hopefully they don't pull.
23:11
What was that punter for the Giants at one time?
23:14
He just went to punt the ball on the ball, just like.
23:16
Rift on the ball. Yeah, hopefully none of that
23:19
happens at least so any quick scores, but I'm taking Yeah, I
23:22
like the under here tear us apart.
23:24
I I effed up this open at 3 1/2, and I should have taken Boise at
23:28
the time because now it's 4 1/2 and I don't want any part of
23:31
that again. Pulling for UNLV for the sake of
23:34
Pete. Yeah.
23:35
I mean, they've never won in Boise.
23:37
They've been playing a little bit better since the start of
23:40
the season. Maddox Madison is supposed to be
23:43
back for Boise State here, which might have something to do with
23:47
the line going up. But yeah, I missed the 3 1/2, so
23:51
shame on me. I want UNLV but I think Boise is
23:56
going to get this done here. Probably the case.
24:01
Moving on, oh America's conference, the Mac, Well, it's
24:09
a rematch, so we got the Western Michigan's taking revenge for
24:12
their only Mac loss opened up at Western Michigan -3 1/2 over
24:17
under 43 1/2. Either of you guys got a bet on
24:20
this one? I do not.
24:22
Oh, Darren chimes in. Yeah, this line drop, I don't
24:27
really understand. I took Western Michigan -1 1/2
24:31
here. Maybe I'm biased because I
24:33
watched a few Western Michigan games in November.
24:36
Didn't really check out Miami. Statistically, a lot of
24:39
similarities here. But you have to remember Miami,
24:41
Ohio offensive numbers that they had.
24:43
Most of that I was with Daquan Finn as the quarterback.
24:47
He quit because apparently he needs to prep for the next
24:51
level. Bro, I know you're not
24:53
listening, but if you are, you spent seven years in college.
24:57
The only thing you need to prep for is putting the fries in the
24:59
bag. If you were going to the NFL,
25:03
you wouldn't have spent your last four years in college.
25:05
But I digress. You know, I mean they got a 2
25:08
headed monster running Brock Lowry at QB, Jaden Buckley
25:12
running back. I mean both these defenses are
25:15
excellent. I mean, obviously with a total
25:16
of 43 1/2, but all these teams are going to try and hang out
25:19
the ball as long as humanly possible.
25:22
But I love the Lowry, Buckley combination.
25:25
Western Michigan statistically does have a little bit better
25:27
defense or second on the back. Miami of Ohio was third.
25:31
Yeah, the quarterback, they tried this Hessen, whatever he
25:33
was asked, they brought in Thomas Gostkowski, I believe is
25:37
how you pronounce his last name. He's had a couple of good games,
25:39
4 TDs, no picks. But that's Buffalo and Ball
25:42
States. I mean, the three of us can get
25:44
8 viewers and probably put up 4 touchdowns and no picks on
25:47
Buffalo or Ball State. So you do have to consider the
25:50
the opposition there. Yeah.
25:53
I don't know why this line went down.
25:55
Obviously, people smarter than me know what they're doing.
25:57
But I took Western Michigan minus the 1/2 to avenge their
26:00
loss and be your 2025 Mac winners.
26:03
OK. Well, I want a different route
26:06
one with the the Pete were here and I took the the over under
26:09
bet here. Well they got the back and
26:12
quarterback as we as we mentioned earlier, but they can
26:15
still generate yards. So I think both teams have
26:19
positive turnover margins and you know, I think there's going
26:24
to be a few and that creates a short field.
26:26
So the over underline was 43 1/2.
26:29
That seemed a little bit low to me.
26:31
So I am betting the over of 43 1/2.
26:35
I think the the rushing attack, especially in the red zone is
26:37
going to help Western Michigan out a lot.
26:40
So despite the backup QB, these two are going to light up the
26:44
scoreboard a little bit. I think the score gets into the
26:46
50s. I don't know if that's
26:48
technical. It's not North Texas by any
26:50
means, but I'm seeing a final score, you know, you know, 3121,
26:56
something like that. So.
26:58
I'm gonna do one more stat that I that I didn't read because I
27:02
was going from memory. Shows you how good that works
27:04
out. You know, guys, I love me some
27:05
3rd and 4th down success rate Miami offensively on 3rd and 4th
27:10
down, they're 113th in the country in offensive success
27:14
rate, defensively, 3rd and 4th down success rate, they're 110th
27:18
in the country. So they're not good at
27:19
converting. They're not good at stopping
27:21
other teams from converting, which was another reason I'm
27:24
rolling with Western Michigan here.
27:28
Iris. Yeah, screw you, Jaquan Finn put
27:34
the fries in the bag. That's I don't know, sorry.
27:42
You got any thoughts on this? And do you want fries?
27:45
Yeah, I'd like some fries with that, please.
27:46
Thank you. Very.
27:47
Much. We'll get them all in the bag
27:48
for you. Yeah, Tim, I like, I like your
27:51
bet. Usually with a game like this, I
27:52
would lean under. However, right there is
27:55
something weird about Mac championship games at Ford Field
27:59
where they just tend to score more than they usually do.
28:02
There's just something about that place.
28:05
I've gone to a few of those games because obviously I live
28:07
in Michigan. It's something weird about it.
28:09
I don't know what it is. They just tend to score more
28:11
even if they don't normally score, does not.
28:13
So it would not surprise me if this thing total ended up around
28:17
50 or something a little north of there.
28:19
Not surprised me at all. So love that bet.
28:22
So yeah, I would go over just because of where it is and that
28:26
it's a match championship. Yes, you do not have to worry
28:28
about the weather. It's indoors.
28:29
I'm. Saying it's dry in there,
28:30
there's no Blizzard or hurricane or typhoon or all three going on
28:34
at the same time. So yeah.
28:35
Right. So all right, where's the truck?
28:38
Oh, here we go I did not place a bet on this game, but I do
28:45
technically have a money line bet on BYU.
28:49
So go Cougars. Here we go.
28:52
You know, coach is staying. He was also in line for the Penn
28:56
State job. He's the crumble cookie company.
29:00
Billionaire said no, you're not going anywhere.
29:02
So I guess they send them a whole bunch of money and free
29:04
cookies for life, I guess. Texas Tech 11 and one against
29:08
the spray. That is scary.
29:11
But yeah, I'll be, if for no other reason if BYU wins, you
29:14
know, I hit my bets and it'll put the final nail in the coffin
29:18
for Miami. They will not be in the playoff.
29:20
And that'll make me double happy.
29:22
Considering what happened to me last week, I think I deserve
29:24
some happiness this week. So I'm hoping BYU delivers, give
29:28
me my future bed, knock Miami out once and for all, and that's
29:33
all I got to say about that. What do you guys think?
29:35
I'll go even a little quicker than that again for you.
29:38
Go BYU if I give the other games.
29:42
I don't know man, they got smoked by Texas Tech last time
29:46
and it wasn't even as close as the final score was like 29 to 6
29:50
or something horrible like that. 27 to 9 I think I want.
29:53
To was it? Maybe it was, it was ugly,
29:55
whatever it was. But you know what they they know
29:57
what's at stake. So I would expect a better
29:59
effort. But man, Texas Tech, good for
30:03
you guys. You went in all in on the
30:05
portal. It's paying benefits.
30:06
You guys are legit. If and I I haven't looked to see
30:10
what the futures are You like usually about making a national
30:12
championship bet at this point because I didn't have one at the
30:15
start of the season. When the bracket comes out, I am
30:18
going to look at Texas Tech's odds.
30:21
Why not? Yeah, I mean, they they
30:24
certainly are good enough to to at least get to the final four
30:27
and present a little hedge opportunity.
30:30
God, that defense is ridiculous. But pulling for BYU?
30:36
Go Cubs for Tim. Go #47 Bear, Brockmire
30:45
Quarterback Edwards #47 How do you not love that?
30:49
Probably his iqi have no idea. Yeah, how many fries Dequan
30:53
Whitney's to put in a bag. 42nd Get ready for the next level,
30:59
Dequan. What do you think about the over
31:01
here Pete? Out of four, my my concern, 49
31:04
1/2 is what I saw as the total. Yeah, Texas Tech is going to
31:08
score. I just don't know what BYU is
31:10
going to do. That's why I didn't touch it,
31:12
right? Like if BYU does something like
31:15
like they can do, then the over is in play.
31:17
But I don't trust BYU. Texas Tech could come out here
31:20
and just blow them out. I don't, I don't know.
31:21
So I did not touch it for that reason.
31:24
I just don't know what BYU is going to do.
31:27
Right, we're getting down to the nitty gritty here.
31:30
Oh, it just means more. Here we go, George and Alabama.
31:36
Any of you guys got anything on this one?
31:38
I do. All right, well, total is 47
31:44
1/2. So Georgia Bama screams all day
31:48
to be a blood gore, choke each other out kind of fast, right?
31:52
This is like an MMA kind of game.
31:55
That's the way I see these things.
31:56
That's the way these things quite often turn out, right?
31:58
Elite defensive talent on both sides of the ball.
32:01
That's the way these games tend to play themselves out.
32:04
They're going to pound the hell out of each other.
32:05
So every yard is a bloodbath. This is like, you know, it's SEC
32:08
now. It's like old school Big 10 kind
32:10
of thing. That's what I expect to see in
32:12
these games. So you know, these games can get
32:14
weird. I I wouldn't be surprised.
32:16
It was like 17 or 7 or something weird, Who knows, right.
32:19
So to me that 47 1/2 is high like like high, high.
32:25
So I mean, this to me is an under all day long.
32:27
Now, of course I say that and somebody will come out and score
32:31
40 points or something ridiculous the way this season
32:34
is going because you can't read anything this year.
32:36
But to me that number is really high with a game like this.
32:38
I mean, they're going to play conservative, run the ball, play
32:41
great defense is what I expect to see.
32:45
Yeah. I mean, that that's this type of
32:47
game. So I would expect nothing other
32:49
than that it should be an excellent game if you like
32:52
defensive football. So yeah, it's be fun to watch in
32:55
that respect. But yeah, to me this is an under
32:58
all day long. So under 47 1/2, Darren.
33:03
I bet Georgia all day long twice on Saturdays.
33:07
Oddly enough is the day this game is being played.
33:10
So just a couple things to take from the first game.
33:12
We know Alabama went into Georgia 124 to 21.
33:16
Wonderful. Good for them.
33:17
If y'all remember 2023 Michigan, and I'm Pete, I'm sure you do,
33:21
One of the things they were really good at was making
33:24
halftime adjustments. They only allowed like 7 points
33:27
a game or in the half. In the second-half.
33:29
I mean whatever they were doing at halftime, they were just
33:32
dominating teams in the second-half.
33:35
Well George has kind of done the same thing.
33:37
Alabama is 24 points in that first game all came in the first
33:40
half and then they got shut out after that and George is
33:42
actually only allowing 7.1 points in the second-half of
33:46
games this year. So we've been ripping their
33:48
defense and rightfully so because you know, God forbid
33:51
they don't have 60 sacks already on the year.
33:54
But I mean, they lose so much NFL talent every year.
33:56
At some point it was going to have to catch up to them.
33:58
But Georgia excellent at those half time adjustments.
34:01
Now you look at Alabama that that first game, you know, they
34:06
had, they had their full offensive line this game, two of
34:09
their offensive tackles have already been ruled out.
34:11
Georgia, that first game, they had two of their tackles that
34:14
were injured as well. They're both back now.
34:16
They are losing their center, the offense coordinators kid.
34:19
He, he is out here. So that may hurt a little bit.
34:21
But Alabama has not been able to run the ball all year long.
34:24
Their leading rusher doesn't even have 500 yards, Jim Miller,
34:27
and he's questionable. So even if he plays, he's
34:29
probably not going to be 100%. I think Alabama comes into this
34:33
kind of 1 dimensional and even though Georgia can't, you know,
34:37
they're having some trouble getting sacks, they're still
34:40
excellent at stopping the run. They're like second in the in
34:42
the conference that run defense. So they'll be able to play their
34:45
normal defense, maybe have an extra safety in there to help
34:48
with the pass. But you know, I have been super
34:51
impressed with Alabama. I mean that Iron Bowl, you know,
34:54
they got out to 17 nothing lead and that which apparently was
34:56
really impressive to the committee, but not impressive
35:00
that they ended up tied 1717 before finally winning that
35:03
game. But I think Georgia has been
35:05
playing better ball the last month.
35:06
Alabama, not so much. And I know Kirby Smart can't
35:09
beat Alabama. He's like 1 of 11 or whatever
35:12
the hell he is. But in a game like this where
35:14
the spread is under 3, now kind of take a peek at special teams
35:19
now. Alabama's field goal kicker, 13
35:20
of 20, that's 65%. Georgia's field goal kicker, 15
35:26
of 16. And that includes eight of nine
35:28
for 40 yards or more. So in a game with a spread of 2
35:31
1/2, a field goal could be huge here.
35:34
So give me Georgia, give me Kirby to finally, you know, beat
35:39
his demons and beat Alabama here.
35:42
I laid 2 1/2. Obviously I didn't get didn't
35:44
get the 1 1/2 because I bet a little bit late, but.
35:47
Give me Georgia that as well. Love it, love it, love that bet.
35:50
By the way, every score you just mentioned, every scenario you
35:53
just mentioned screams under, right?
35:55
It's. Under, yeah.
35:58
Yeah, yeah, I too. I also took Georgia -2 1/2, the
36:02
same thing. I started looking at all these
36:04
games. I did them pretty much in order.
36:06
So it opened up at 1 1/2, and by the time I got done with
36:08
Conference USA and all the ones we already did, it went up to 2
36:11
1/2. So I still don't mind, you know,
36:14
laying the 2 1/2. Alabama does, I believe, have
36:18
the better quarterback. But you know, where there's
36:20
smoke, there's fire, and where there's Kirby Smart, there's a
36:22
pass rush, and Georgia's got a good one.
36:25
I think they can get to him a lot during this game.
36:29
They can defend the run on the way to the quarterback.
36:33
So I like Georgia here. Not to mention with all the
36:35
things that you said, they're also 73% on 4th down.
36:38
So if it gets to that point where they have to start getting
36:41
a four down territory, they're confident enough to convert on
36:46
that. So I like Georgia laying the 2
36:48
1/2 as well. I'm starting to get nervous.
36:52
We agree. I don't like that.
36:53
So am I. Yeah, we're oh boy, is this a Oh
37:03
no, this one, the one that everybody's talking about.
37:10
I, I think if Duke wins, I think that also keeps Miami out.
37:15
So I I think is that is that right?
37:17
I don't know if you put an ACC team in if Duke wins.
37:20
I mean, seriously, I'd be OK with that as long as Miami's not
37:23
in. I'm not one of those conference
37:24
Hawks like all the in the Big 10 in the SEC.
37:27
Like I don't care if any of these teams get in.
37:30
So maybe we'll root for Virginia 'cause then they don't, you
37:34
know, they don't want to, you know, give two ACC teams.
37:39
So. But I like how Duke gets here
37:40
with a five way tiebreaker. Because college football, that's
37:45
why. This conference is ass, that's
37:48
why. So well, as much as a Virginia
37:52
victory would keep Miami out, I'm thinking I did bet on this.
37:57
I did bet on Duke. I took the money line on this
38:01
one. The opening line was Virginia
38:03
giving 2 1/2. You know, I think with the
38:07
quarterback play, they do have some explosive plays over there
38:10
at Duke. He'll have the defense playing
38:12
well. For what it's worth, I think
38:16
Duke's played a tougher schedule this year than Virginia, so
38:20
we'll put say, whatever that is. But they're going to have more
38:23
explosive plays. They're very efficient in the
38:27
passing game. The quarterback plays really
38:29
well. They have twice as many
38:33
touchdowns as passing touchdowns as Virginia does, so on 1st down
38:38
they're also very effective. So I like the explosive
38:41
playability and I like Duke here just to win this game outright
38:45
and confirm the ACCSL laughing stock everyone thinks it is.
38:50
So go Duke. Oh Duke.
38:55
I picked up plus 1:40 on that, so that's a nice, nice little
39:00
price. Pick this out I think.
39:05
You want to go first because I'm going to respectfully.
39:08
I couldn't have less interest in a game this weekend.
39:10
Every other game is more interested, including the Mac,
39:12
than this thing. I I will not watch this game.
39:16
Yeah, well, that's because there's another, there's an
39:17
actual promising game Saturday at 8:00 that I think most people
39:21
will be watching. Yeah, I, Tim, I'm bowling for
39:23
you. But Duke's defense is asked this
39:25
year. This this is not 2024, Duke.
39:27
I mean, they're giving up 400 yards a game.
39:29
Virginia usually has no defense, only giving up like 300 yards a
39:33
game. I love Chandler Morris.
39:35
I may love Darian Mensa too. If anything, I would go over
39:38
here because neither of these teams scream the 85 Bears.
39:43
But yeah, I I would I would lean the other way just because
39:47
Duke's defense isn't what I feel.
39:49
That's weird because Manny Diaz is usually like a defensive guy.
39:52
And last year their defense was really, really good.
39:56
I'm not sure what have they lose a bunch of people, the
39:58
graduation or the portal, I don't know.
40:00
But this is not the Duke, the Duke defense from from 2024,
40:04
but. That's just my thought, but they
40:09
bought themselves a nice quarterback, so they certainly
40:11
do have a chance. But yeah, their defense is
40:15
asked. Any final thoughts where it just
40:18
means more Pete and the ACC boy? Yeah, OK, I guess we'll just
40:27
kick. That's horrible.
40:29
They got final. Conference, any other conference
40:32
so. Well, I think people will be
40:36
watching this game number one against #2 Indiana seven and
40:42
five against the spread. Ohio State ten, 1:00 and 1:00.
40:49
Wow, kind of like North Texas fives here.
40:52
Do you guys got any play on this or is it just me again?
40:55
No, I got one, but you can go first.
40:57
All right. Well, the over under is 48 1/2.
41:00
I actually got it at 47 1/2. I bet the over both of these
41:06
offenses, great quarterback play, great receivers.
41:09
They're both pretty balanced. This came to be, you know, don't
41:15
overthink this one. So Indiana scores and everybody,
41:18
Ohio State scores and everybody. Neither of these defenses seem
41:22
built to slow either one of these offenses down, so I'm not
41:25
going to overthink it too much. 47 1/2, I love that number.
41:30
I thought it would be up, you know, 5859, somewhere around
41:33
there given the quarterback play and the receivers and the
41:35
offense and all that. You know, 56% on 3rd down.
41:40
Both teams are 56% on 3rd down. They're going to stay on the
41:42
field a lot. I thought this game would be a
41:45
lot higher. Swearing this game is indoors.
41:49
Indianapolis. We've been there.
41:50
They don't think they've taken the roof off of Lucas Arau
41:52
Stadium, have they? Have your Colts done anything to
41:55
the stadium? No.
41:57
Well, they could. Open it, but they're not going
41:58
through this time of. Year well they better not open
42:00
it that would that would really put us so that.
42:03
'D be fun. I'd like to see that.
42:05
But yeah, I like 47 1/2. I like the over here.
42:08
I almost spent 2 units on this one, but I'm like 1 and four and
42:10
two unit plays this year, so I'm going to stop doing that.
42:13
But yeah, this is my strongest confidence one which is doomed
42:17
to sink it. So over 47 1/2 in this game.
42:22
Let's hear it, Darren. The line draw.
42:25
I was going to leave this game alone, but DraftKings yesterday
42:27
morning dropped Ohio State -4 and I, I hopped on the Buckeyes
42:31
here. Again, looking at the stats,
42:34
there's nothing that you can differentiate these two teams
42:36
with. They're both really good
42:37
offensively. They're like top two in the
42:39
country defensively. So there really isn't any stat
42:42
that would lead me to favor one team or the other here.
42:46
But I did take Ohio State for a couple reasons.
42:48
You remember last year we kind of banged on their offensive
42:51
line and it turned out to be kind of like unfairly soaked.
42:54
They actually played really well.
42:56
They only ended up giving up 17 sacks last year.
42:59
Well, if you've watched any Ohio State games and watched the
43:03
networks interview Julian saying after and you're like, wow, did
43:06
he just change his jersey? No, he's been sacked 6 times in
43:10
12 games. That why that dude looks
43:12
Immaculate at the end of the fourth quarter.
43:14
He's never getting hit. Oh, Jackson, not the Bo Jackson,
43:19
but the other Bo Jackson currently runs for Ohio State.
43:23
He's kind of established himself as the go to guy in that
43:25
backfield. So I'm going to give an
43:27
offensive line edge here to the Buckeyes.
43:30
And also I heard some reports saying that like, well, you
43:34
know, Ohio State kind of went through this last year.
43:37
They played all these playoff games.
43:38
They kind of know what it takes. They want to be healthy.
43:41
They haven't really been showing everything every week.
43:44
I don't really believe that. But I also heard, well, they
43:48
finally beat Michigan. You know, they hadn't done that
43:51
in four years, Man. There's going to be a little bit
43:53
of a let down. You know what else they haven't
43:56
done in four years? Win the freaking Big 10.
43:59
So don't tell me that there's going to be a let down here.
44:01
Ryan Day will have these guys focused and ready to go.
44:04
Now, on the flip side, does the loser really get hurt here?
44:07
No, they're probably still getting a bye week regardless of
44:10
what happens, but the the three best players on the field,
44:15
Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate and Caleb Downs, they're all on the
44:19
same team. So you know what?
44:21
Call it a a hunch. I don't know, man.
44:24
It dropped a four. That's a nice number for me.
44:26
I'm going to expect this to go back up if it's four where you
44:29
play Snagit because I think it's going to win by 7 or more here.
44:36
I could see that. Any thoughts Pete on your?
44:39
Yeah, Pete's the Big 10 guy. That's why we were wrap it up
44:41
with with him because. I'd I'd like to disagree.
44:44
I really, really like to disagree.
44:47
I mean, we're. Doing that a lot on this show.
44:50
I, I, I'd like to see Indiana do something and, and they could
44:53
right, really good team. I'd like to see what they can do
44:55
here. Yeah, I wasn't all that
44:57
impressive. Ohio State, Michigan's largely
44:59
inept at this point. They're A1 dimensional team, no
45:01
pass rush. I don't think Ohio State looked
45:03
all that good against Michigan and Michigan.
45:05
'S not all that good, period. Right.
45:06
I mean, we don't have any skill players.
45:08
I mean, I don't think we're all that good.
45:10
So. But then it's a rivalry game.
45:12
You got to throw that out, right?
45:13
So it's always going to be close no matter what.
45:17
I mean, I remain not overly impressed with Ohio State, but
45:21
then again, you know, they keep winning and they're going to
45:24
keep winning until somebody actually, you know, holds them
45:28
down and beats them. And I'm not sure Indiana's
45:31
A-Team to do that. Now, do I think they're going to
45:33
roll through the playoffs this year?
45:35
No, I don't. I think somebody will beat them,
45:36
but it's probably not going to be Indiana.
45:39
So I think, you know, I think this could be a pretty high
45:43
scoring game though, which would be a little bit odd for the Big
45:47
10, but it's the right place for it.
45:49
So yeah, it could be an interesting game.
45:51
I look forward to it. I'd love to see Ohio State lose,
45:54
but the problem with that is that'll just piss them off.
45:57
Then they'll probably win the national championship again.
45:59
So I'd rather see them win here and then losing a playoff
46:02
honestly. So that would be the ideal
46:04
scenario. So just win the damn game, go to
46:07
the playoff and lose somebody else.
46:08
I'm good with that so. I'm just going to say this.
46:12
We know Ohio State's defense is legit, but how legit do they
46:15
have to be for Matt Patricia not to come in and screw them up
46:18
You. Know.
46:20
If Patricia can't screw this up, this might be the best.
46:23
This defense might be better than last year's.
46:25
Yeah, this defense is killer. They have those players in that
46:28
team. I mean, that defense is killer.
46:29
I mean, they're really, really good.
46:32
You know, So what, Michigan will get another crack at Ohio State.
46:36
What, 300 and 360? Dollars.
46:39
Oh, it's going to be worse. They're going.
46:40
To get $360.00, they got to go to the. 2 next year.
46:43
If any of those Blues think they have a chance next year, that's
46:45
already a loss. These morons don't know what the
46:48
hell they're thinking. They're going to get
46:49
slaughtered. Does Sharon Moore coach that
46:51
game next year? No, he won't.
46:53
He'll be gone. Well, actually Michigan doesn't
46:55
fire coaches in the middle of the season, so he'll coach, I
46:57
think. He does coach that game next
46:58
year. Yeah, they don't fire coaches in
47:00
the middle of the season, but he'll be gone right after it.
47:02
The day after, he'll be gone. It was nice to see him guard
47:05
their their 50 yard line. At least they played some
47:07
defense at some point. Yeah, I mean, that was beautiful
47:09
coaching. That wasn't him.
47:11
I mean, that was Wayne KU. You leave so the best player in
47:15
the field you single cover him on 1/12.
47:18
Yard line. Brilliant although that was.
47:20
That was also a touchback. But besides that.
47:23
It was. It was a.
47:24
Touchback. Yes, I saw that after work.
47:27
Yeah, that was touchback. Yeah, let's single cut.
47:30
I would have triple covered it. I would have, I would have
47:32
bumped them in a line. And if somebody often have
47:33
somebody in the back like there's no way I let him beat me
47:35
there, no way. But whatever.
47:38
You can have adjustments. Ohio State makes them too, just
47:41
like Georgia. You look at their their close
47:43
games. I mean, somewhat close against
47:44
Michigan, shut Michigan down the second-half. close game against
47:48
Penn State in the first half, shut Penn State down the
47:51
second-half. I'm telling you, man, but
47:53
Michigan was better. Don't get me wrong, Indiana is a
47:55
lot better, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Indiana as
47:58
they cash by over 8 1/2 nine games into the season.
48:01
But I think Ohio State's better, too.
48:04
Yeah, they're better. They're better.
48:05
But Michigan, Michigan has inferior coaching and they're
48:07
one-dimensional, so they don't count because we can't.
48:09
We have no, we have no receivers.
48:10
What are you going to do? We have no tight end.
48:11
Who are you going to throw to? You can't throw the ball.
48:14
So yeah. Whatever.
48:15
No time to get on the phone to Larry Ellison's wife again and
48:18
see if we can find a couple of receivers for you.
48:19
Yeah, we. Need some money We need We need
48:21
a check we got to go get. Some guys, Oh, this is terrible.
48:24
Well, college football's be coming.
48:25
It's just. So.
48:29
Any final thoughts on that? Should we wrap this up?
48:31
We'll go to our review, wrap it. Do we have to?
48:35
Yeah, sadly. God damn.
48:38
Look at all those bets. All right, you want to go first
48:44
since I got the the main. Yeah, we're, we'll go 1st and
48:49
then sign off and you just finish in like 30 minutes and
48:51
we'll send me the video when it's done downloading.
48:55
Let me just do my 2:00 so that way I can take a nap while
48:58
you're talking. So so yeah, North Texas 2 lane
49:02
over 66 and a half one unit. And then Georgia and Alabama
49:07
under 47 1/2 one units. Those are my 2 plays this week.
49:12
I only have three. I got Western Michigan land a
49:14
point to have over Miami. I've got Georgia land 2 1/2 over
49:18
Bama and Ohio State land 4 over Indiana.
49:23
All right, the Hindenburg landing went more smoothly than
49:26
my champion. My rivalry week last week was
49:29
horrible. Oh my God, I'm going to do this
49:32
quick for I have to look at this.
49:32
So we got the Jacksonville State money line over Kennesaw State.
49:37
I have Duke also money line over Virginia, UNLV, Boise State
49:42
under 58 1/2. I have North Texas -2 1/2 over
49:47
Tulane, Ohio State and Indiana over 47 1/2, Georgia -2 1/2 over
49:54
Alabama and Troy, James Madison over 47 1/2 and last but not
49:59
least Miami, Western Michigan over 43 1/2.
50:07
Any final thoughts General wrap this up?
50:09
Go BYUUNOV and Troy. Troy UNLV Yeah.
