  Speaker 2: Inside, I want to kill myself. We are on Own

  Speaker 2: seven run over the last two days after tonight.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It was just complete bullshit.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Sunday one and five.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you above that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: slump continuing. Two straight losses, not a good day at all.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Own four that have not had a good season.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Man with bookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: slump continues.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I've reached a new peak.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm going to burn my Bruins hack Man, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: don't know what is going on with the Bruins.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Arch epe is that what it is? I don't even
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: know it's March ninth, I think who even knows? Man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what data is anymore. But I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: even know what data is anymore.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Man's back with you after the worst day that I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: could possibly have, Back with you as I always am.
• 1:01

• 1:05
  Speaker 1: yesterday it did not go well for me. Own five.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: years doing this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
• 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
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: point other than potentially end it all.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody's towed back with you?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Toadsol Sports, Friday, December twelfth, Jeffrey.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome back?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I was worried about you, man, although I was kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of like, oh well, Jeffrey said that he wasn't like,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: like you said, you ran out of your bank rawl though,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so does this mean you reloaded now that you're back?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I don't want to lead you astray man, but also
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: so you know the way that we do things here,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a grind and obviously I'm giving
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: out like exactly what I am or would actually be
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: betting on and nothing more, nothing less.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So like you have razor thin margins here, man, So I.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Don't know, Like I don't like to toy around, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I just try to say this is it. These are
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the players. We either win or we.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Lose on them, and that's it. I don't try to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: chase anything then you know, move on to the next
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: day or whatever. Yesterday was a win on the show
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if you do what I what I recommend that you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: do and you put some percentage of the underdog plays
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: on the money line, because it was a two and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: two day. But with the Bucks outright win and plus
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: one of the hockey plays as an underdog, I mean
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they both almost were so hopefully that got you a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: slight win yesterday.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I mean the way that I do things that would
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have been.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Iowa almost got an out right win for us as well.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: That was that was the right call. It was a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: wire to wire cover by Iowa. They stormed out of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the gate man, well as much as a team like
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Iowa can storm. I mean they play slow, but Iowa
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: had a double digit lead, like right away in that game.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, this is going well, and then I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: figured they probably were not gonna be able to hang
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on to the outright win. But at that point it's like,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you better just at least cover this thing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Of course they did. It was never close to not
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: being a cover.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They they took that game like right to the wire
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: man and they unfortunately they lost by I think four points.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It was a two point game right at the end,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and I think they fouled one more time. But yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it was wire to wire cover easy cover for Iowa
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: almost got the outright win there. That's one where I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: would have said, like put like three percent on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: money line on that one.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: The money line part of it almost hit. And then
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: now the money line did hit.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: As I was.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Alluding to on the Milwaukee Bucks against my boss's Celtics,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: maybe my Celtic radar is.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Is no longer malfunctioning.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Finally, the Celtics fell flat, and it was I kind
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of called that too, because the Celtics had a pretty
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: big lead in the middle of that game, like double
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: digit lead, and I was, like I said on the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: show yesterday, the Celtics they get complacent when they have
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a big lead. Man, So it's like back door covers
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: can happen against the Celtics. And not only was that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a back door cover, the Bucks took over.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And won the game outright.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I mean they had they had a double digit lead
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: by the fourth quarter and wound up hanging on for
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the outright wins. So that was good, well, at least
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it was good for the wallets at least, so the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Bucks they got there. Hopefully that gave you the extra
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: money line cash on that one.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And then the.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis Blues they might be an unbettable team at
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't know what else to tell you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The game was statistically not as bad as it looked.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, if it's a seven to two hockey game,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the stats are not gonna really indicate that it was
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a blowout of that magnitude because those just don't exist
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: in hockey. Less, some weird stuff happens, but the game
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: should have been closer. But man, Bennington, he's awful, dude,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell you. He's their
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: better goalie and doesn't look like it at this point.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We've lost a couple of plays in a row in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the Blues with him a net not good, and then
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Vancouver should have won. I mean, that was that really
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: pissed me off. They were up two to one in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the middle of the game.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It was a tied game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Then they wound up losing three to two, and they
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: had a lot of time to try to tie that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Thing back up.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: You look at the stats, Vancouver dominated that game. They
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: had more than double the shot attempts of Buffalo, they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: had way more hits, they're way more physical, and they
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: won like sixty percent of the face offs, So like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: how do you lose that game and you dominate like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: all of the major statistical categories, it wasn't even close statistically,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So I'm pissed about that one. That I don't think
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that was a wrong call whatsoever. Vancouver was the right
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: side in that game.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Just pisses me off.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And now we move on to today where we have
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: another pretty small board today, two today, and they're both
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in college basketball. Jeffrey probably back at the right time
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: because they're both gonna be pretty substantial underdog plays, so
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: hopefully we can get some more basketball here. Oh no, Jeffrey,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: never do a ten X bet, man, Uh, you gotta
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this is the thing, man, Like, well, I mean, if
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: if if people want to like do this serious, Like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: one of the major mistakes is like you can pick
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: winners and have more winners than losers where you should
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: be up, but if you don't like bank roll it correctly,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: then you could still lose, you know what I mean, Like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you never want to put too much on one thing,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So it's like it's always recommended somewhere between one and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: five percent on every single bet. I do three percent
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: literally on everything, just to really keep myself in check.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And I don't you know, it makes me not have
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to weigh like how way any of the bets more
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: heavily than others, although maybe I should, because some of
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the ones I feel really strongly about do tend to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: do better.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But pins see what's up? Thanks for hanging out. Iowa.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Iowa State went on a fourteen oh run to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: start the second half.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That's pretty brutal.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: But even even with that, it was still a wire
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to wire cover. That's that's how much yeah, I mean,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that was how much of a right side Iowa was
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: in that game. They could give up a fourteen to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: oh run, which one of those analytics sites, oh god,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: one of those analytics sites said, tracks like how many
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: ten plus ten plus oh runs?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They're already I forget what he.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Calls them, the uh the kill shot. I think it
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: might be Evan Maya. I forget one of those guys
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: tracks them so you could see how how many Yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think he calls it the kills shot. How many
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: kill shots each team has? Because those are runs that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: just completely swing the game. Uh so, yeah, that was
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a kill shot for Iowa State in that one, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they didn't kill the bet and they and they still
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: almost lost.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The game outright.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So all right, we'll get into today and then I
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: gotta figure out what I want to do tomorrow because
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I assume there's gonna be a lot of college basketball,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: so I might have to finally transition over to doing
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: college basketball Saturday shows on Friday night. But well, I'll
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: figure it out. If you subscribe to the show, you'll
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: see if I go live tonight or not. But we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: have college basketball to talk about today. There's not a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: whole lot of action. We had a couple of fairly
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: packed Fridays recently. Today is not one, and for the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: remainder of the season, I think the Fridays are gonna
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: be pretty pretty light. We have an early ish game
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: at six pm between Army and Maryland Baltimore County.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to really say about it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I guess usually shout out the earlier games just because
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they're kind of isolated. Army is coming off beating Gala Debt.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's who that is, which they're a school
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: for the deaf. So does that mean they're a deaf
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: basketball team too, I have no clue to.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Probably not, but who knows. Army beat those guys.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: They're not as one team now. They're coming into this
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: game off of a win that should just be kind
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of like a tune up. So not a bad spot
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: for them. U NBC had a tougher game against Buffalo,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and that was a game where I thought UNBC was
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: gonna win that game. I did mention that game on
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the shows a slight lean to UNBC. I think they
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: had the lead late in that game and they blew
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it and lost. So they're coming up of a much
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: more difficult game. So I think Army.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Probably would be a slight lean for me in this one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Definitely not one that I'm interested in really, but UNBC
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is up from six to six and a half. Yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean small opinion on that one for me would
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: be to look towards taking the points there. Yeah, Army Navy,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and there's Army Navy the Celebration Bowl, in the LA
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl or all tomorrow, dirty sock, what's up man? Thanks
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: for hanging out all right, and then we'll get right
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: into these bets.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Man. I mean this is just the way that it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is today. Best bets.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: There's only two hockey games and there's a pretty light
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: NBA slate today too, so usually a little bit heavier
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on Friday, but we're kind of in the NBA Cup
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: days here, so there aren't as many NBA games.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: First off, we're gonna take the points with Missouri.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: State plus eighteen, I think is what you can get
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: on this against Xavier. Now, I know Missouri State likes
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to play slow and Xavier likes to play fast, so
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that is one potential concern here. Xavier is gonna try
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to speed the game up here that will benefit Xavier
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and hurt Missouri State. But I think this is a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: bad spot and I'm not that worried about it because
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the total is still pretty low in the one forties,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: even though it is climbing. But we're taking a lot
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: of points with a somewhat low total. So you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I like to take points in games with low totals.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You know that by now because the points are worth more.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Sixty percent of tickets are on Xavier. If the public
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: plays this game and they want action down, they might
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: be looking at this game because it is a big
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: East team in the seven PM slate, and they're only
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: gonna be on the Zaia your side here because they
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: know the name.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Missouri State's got ninety percent of the actual money right
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: now though, so I think at least for now, the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: actual money's coming into Missouri State. And we'll see if
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the professionals see what I see in this game, me
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: not being a professional.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: This game is on True TV, by the way.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: So the the people out there can watch it if
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they have cable as well or whatever. Xavier, this is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: a sandwich spot, man. I mean, it doesn't get more
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: simple than this really for me. They're coming off their
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: huge Cincinnati rivalry game because Xavier is a Cincinnati school
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and they beat Cincinnati, who I think they still consider
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to be their bigger brother because it's the University of Cincinnati.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's always a big game. It's always a physical game.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: They're hated rivals. Xavier got the win in that game.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I believe they were an underdog as well in that game.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, you see, maybe I'm wrong about that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Actually it was really close to a pick them, actually,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. For some reason, yeah, because Xavier is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: kind of down this year for some reason. I thought
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati was more of a fai than that. But Xavier's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: coming up that huge rivalry and they start Big East
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: play with Creighton in five days at home, So I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: think Xavier is in a spot where they may just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: overlook a Missouri Valley team like Missouri State Justin's Missouri
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: State Bears here. Yeah, I mean it looks like a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: spot where Xavier is probably just gonna try to get
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: in get out. So that helps as well as far
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: as like worrying if Xavier is gonna really try to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: push the tempo here. I don't really think they have
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the motivation to really do that necessarily, because I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it's a game where they can kind of figure they
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: can go a little bit easier and still get out
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: of here with a win. But when teams think that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: way again, you want to fade them and they might
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: get caught.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Missouri State.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I do realize Xavier six and one at home, Missouri
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: State's own two on the road not great. But of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: course we're not asking Missouri State to win the game.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you that they're gonna win the game.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you I think more likely than not
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to cover Missouri State's playing a second straight
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: road game here, which it's a little difficult. But what
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I do like is they already have a couple of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: road games under their belt now, so they're not gonna
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: be totally intimidated by this. I wouldn't think this is
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the first Power Conference team they're playing, and I think
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: maybe the only one all season. But so that means, well, yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: maybe they might be intimidated, but what it also means
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is it's their biggest game of the season. Man Like,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: when you're a team like Missouri State and you have
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: one game against the Power conference team, you're gonna circle
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: that game. Man, You're gonna show up and try to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: perform in that game. So I like that for Missouri
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: State as well. Their last game, that road game at Tulsa,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: was a bad loss. I mean not a bad loss,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: because Tulsa is not that bad, but they lost by
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Tulsa also on my good side right now
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: because they got us a win the other day, So
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: but I like it. I really don't like how this
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: sets up for Xavior. Really that's the handicap. Xavier is
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: in a sandwich spot, but I think Missouri State could
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: be in a bit of a bounce back after that
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Tulsa loss as well, So Missouri State plus the points
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is the first play there. And even though I really
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna win the game, I still recommend
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that because I just like to have like a small amount,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: like one percent of the bet on the money line,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: just to have that little.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Bit there in case it does happen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: On next up, we're already we're in the best bet segment,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And here's the whole best bet segment because my other
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: play is in the one big game of the day
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: at eight pm on Fox. The public's gonna be coming
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: in on this game Man Texas and Yukon, and you
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: know which way they're gonna be going in this game
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: if they're gonna play this number five Yukon. Yukon is
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: legitimately a top five team in the country for sure. Uh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yukon came like they basically landed like right on the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: number in the previous game. So that play that I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: gave on a Yukon dependent on which number you got.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: But now I think this is a play. Uh, this
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: is a spot where we play Texas. Man Texas plus
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: fifteen or whatever the number is here it looks like
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the money kind of agrees with that. Fifty percent of
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: ticket sixty seven percent of the cash on Texas. Uh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the total dropped as well, down to one forty. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yukon likes to play slow, so that's the other thing.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Texas does, like to play a little bit faster. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: if Yukon's gonna play slow, yeah, in a way, it
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: could frustrate Texas, But then that means it's gonna be
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: a lower scoring game. You could see the oddsmakers are
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: projecting that as well, with the total being in the
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: one forties. So again you're getting a lot of points
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: going up against a team that wants to play slow.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So again, that slow style that Yukon plays sometimes it's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: not exactly conducive to laying a ton of points here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And neither is the spot that Yukon is in. This
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: is a sandwich spot as well.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yukon.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: They're coming up that win over Florida a few days ago. Man,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that was a huge win. I mean, you beat the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Returney Champs Florida, And as I pointed out in that game,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons I gave out Yukon in that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: game was that was tournament revenge for Yukon as well,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: because Yukon almost eliminated Florida from the tournament, Man, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: then Florida went on to win the whole thing. Yukon,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: you know, they had that game circled. You remember the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: team that ended your season, man, A Yukon had it circle.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They got the win.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Now they play this Texas team, which I know Texas
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: is a big name, but they're an unranked team. They're
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: kind of down this year and up next Butler is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: their next opponent. That is Yukon's big East opener in
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: four days. So I think that game is bigger to them,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: man than Texas is. Even if Texas is a little
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: bit better than Butler is. This is a bad spot man,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. Yukon, they're good at home, I know
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: five and one, but this is a not at stores
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Connecticut though. So this is in Hartford because of course,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: whenever Yukon is one of these bigger games, they want
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to pack the stadium with more Like it's all about
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the money. They want more tickets sold, so they go
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to the bigger arena. So this is at the Hartford
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Civic Center. But you remember what I said about that
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: with Yukon. Their biggest home advantage is when they literally
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: play on their campus because they get like the rowdy,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: drunk students there, you know what I mean. When they're
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: in Hartford, fewer students go to the game, although they
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: might show up for a game against Texas, but the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Hertford crowd is more oriented towards like the rich Yukon
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: alumni who live in the area, you know what I mean,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Like less rowdy.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: So it's the the Yukon old money crowd is what
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: these games are.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're still gonna have a big crowd.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I could have kind of said the same
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: thing when Yukon was just playing in Madison Square Guard
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: and the other night too, but.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You knew that crowd was gonna be Yukon biased, and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it was. This will be as well.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: But again, it's not the full home court advantage that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yukon usually gets Texas. I mean, they are a power
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: conference team. They've already played some big teams. They're not
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be intimidated here. Yeah, this is only their second
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: true road game and the only other one they have
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: is against Shamanad, which is not even a D one school.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: But the setup is just much easier for Texas. They're
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: coming off an easy bounce back win over Southern so
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: kind of a tune up.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be focused on this.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I know I worry a little bit about the fact
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that they're traveling to the Eastern time zone, but they've
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: traveled to other places already, so they did where do
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they play Duke?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Actually, let me say that this was in the Eastern times.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: They had to play Duke in Charlotte, so that was
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a semi road game for them. So that did battle
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: test them. And see them going to the Eastern time zone,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: so this is not the first time they're doing that either,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So I like it. I like how it sets up.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: We will take Texas plus the points there and those
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: are the two plays of the day. Hopefully we can
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: get them. Man, we want to go too and on
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: one and one's gonna be a loser, so we want
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to go too and oh here, but we'll see. You
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: can parlay the underdog spread and the money life there. Yes,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you can do that. Well, some books might not allow that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because the books that's more of a
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: professional thing to do like that. That's that's called a
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: middle essentially where you can have the underdog covering, but
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you also have money on the favorite to just win
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the game, and it lands in the middle of those
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: two things, so you can scoop the entire pot. Yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: that's a middle. Some guys try to they're guys out
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: there that just play middles basically, like they try to
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: predict where the line is gonna go, so they bet
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: on the line towards that direction, and then when it
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: moves in that direction, they come back and bet the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: other side. When they when it goes through like a
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: key number, you know what I mean, like seven in
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: football or something like that. They if they see like, oh,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: this team's at six and a half, let's push it
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: all the way through the seven, they lay the six
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: and a half, get it all the way up through
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the seven.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Then they come back and they also play the other
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: side plus seven and a half, you know what I mean,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and if it lands seven, they win everything.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: There are guys that do that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But of course I don't even know if there's enough money,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: like enough like positive ev to do something like that,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to be honest, because the percentage chance at a game
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: like that's gonna land seven is not that huge, so
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: probably not enough to overcome it. Syracuse and I I
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: did Syracuse not cover I'm not sure if they did
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: or not. Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I've ever tried to do a middle, unless you count
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: like like hedge, like when you have a future on
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: something and then you bet the other side, you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: against that to hedge some of it back.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I've done that before, but I don't know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: That's not really technically a middle, I guess. But anyway, Yeah,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: those are the only two plays. Say, if you want
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: me to talk about any of these other games, I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: guess I can. But there isn't really anything else that
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I found to be of interest here in college basketball.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: We have two.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Hockey games, which I'm not really interested in either, especially
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: because I gotta stay the hell away from the Saint
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Louis Blues Man And now they're on a back to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: back they're playing Chicago. Both these games are at night tonight.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Chicago has more rest here because they played on Wednesday,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: but they beat New York the Rangers three and up.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: The Rangers actually lost on the road. Go figure Blackhawks,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: nice shutout win there. Now they have this single game
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: roachor to Saint Louis and tomorrow they got Detroit. You
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: gotta think Chicago might have one eye looking ahead to Detroit. Man,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: the Saint Louis team has been ass so I don't
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: know if Chicago's really going to be paying attention to it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: So I don't love the spot for Chicago, but if
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you want Saint Louis, you're gonna have to deal with
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: them on a back to back. Although it means Hawfer
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: will be back in net this time, which is probably
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: better than Bennington. At this point, they've lost most of
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Bennington's recent games.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so do with that information what you will.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I guess they are playing a third game in four
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and as though, and they're just in Nashville last night.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: But Saint Louis got wrecked in their last two games,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I by a combined.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Score of twelve to four.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So I actually kind of lean to Saint Louis in
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: this one, even though you normally don't like the team
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: on the back to back. Chicago looks like a public
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: underdog here, which is concerning if you like Chicago. Sixty
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: five percent to tickets fifty two percent of the cash
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: on them, Saint Louis dropped for minus one forty two
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to minus one twenty three. Although that line move might
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: have just been the books having to adjust for like
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis announcing their goalie or something like that. I'm
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: not really sure, although you can kind of assume anyway.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna be Bennington because he played last night,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: so they're not gonna have him in there on a
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: back to back, especially when he was terrible last night.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So do with that information what you will.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: But I do think Chicago is not as good as
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: their record looks, as I keep saying, So probably Saint
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Louis is a lean in that one, but I don't
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: love it at all. Syracuse money line aaint Saint Joe's
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: plus the points. Yeah, I was an idiot last night,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Like I swear, ESPN had that game listed as being
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, and then I looked later and it
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: was like, no, the game's in Syracuse.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like what.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on with that, But
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I still thought Saint Joe's plus the points was the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: right side, So I gave that out as an opinion.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I think it wound up being correct as well, So
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: there you go. Predators have improved.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: They may have or I just I think they really
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: underperformed last year.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: They're like they're.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Better talent wise, they should be better than what they've
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: been doing. But I don't know, man, I mean, Saint
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Louis is just really bad.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Nashville. I think they're still I don't know.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: They're They're not a team that I'm really interested in
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: playing until we see that they can stop letting me down,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: like they keep losing when they're against teams.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: In bad spots.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: So I don't love that. The second game tonight is
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Seattle in Utah. Now, Seattle's coming up an overtime win
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: two nights ago against the La Kings. That is a
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: pretty big win, but I think it's more of a
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: positive for Seattle, Like I don't think they're really going
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to be in a letdown spot here because they've lost
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: six games in a row prior to that. So when
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a team ends a lost streak like that and it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: not like a monumental win that they do it with,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: sometimes that will give them new momentum and they'll carry
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that winning momentum into the next game. They are having
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: to travel to Utah here, though into elevation.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Utah has lost three games in a row.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: They're staying at home, and they're probably gonna want to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: try to salvage this last game of this home stand
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and not go oh for on the home stand.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: They're own too on the home stand. But they're coming
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: out of.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: A difficult game against Florida last time out, man, so
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: that might put them in a little bit of a
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: bad spot. People might also notice that Utah just lost
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: at home to the La Kings on Monday, and then
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Seattle beat those same La Kings in Seattle on Wednesday,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: So people might think, oh, well, if Seattle can beat
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: La and La beat Utah, then it makes sense to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: grab Seattle here right as what's gonna be a Seattle
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: at an underdog price here? You know, I struggle with
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: this game a lot. I suppose I would agree with
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the Utah side here, just that like common opponent thing
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: kind of puts me over the top a little bit.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: That and the market read seems like it's indicating on
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Utah for now. With seventy nine percent of the tickets
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: ninety two percent of the cash, they're a fairly substantial favorite, though,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: down for minus one seventy five to minus one seventy two.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: So the odds makers are still pretty much telling you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that Utah is actually right now. Utah is better than
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the record would indicate that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: They are right now.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it, obviously, but maybe a slightly
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: in towards Utah. The do it you gotta like do
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: one of those split bets or play them to win
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: in regulation or something. And I don't love that type
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: of thing, all right, And then we got NBA. I'm
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: skipping this entire NBA board, man, I just there's nothing that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I really love here. Chicago is that Charlotte.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Now we're looking at a situation like I talked about yesterday,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: where these teams are coming out of extended breaks right now,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: because there was a break in the NBA action just
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: for the NBA Cup stuff. So that's something to keep
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: in mind, like which teams are coming off of Cup games,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: even though I usually don't even pay attention to that,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: but more importantly, which teams, Like what did teams do
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: going into the extended layoff is really the more important thing.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: So Chicago they went into that layoff on as bad
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a note as possible.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Man, They've lost seven games in a row.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: They got annihilated by Golden State, and that was a
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: loss that we took on the show. I thought it
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: was a bad spot for Golden State. I don't know
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: what that was for the Bulls, but now that they
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: have extended time off, you gotta think that's a positive.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And one of those losses was to the team they're
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: playing tonight, Charlotte.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: So I think the Bulls have to show up focus here. Man.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They're gonna use that extra time off to fix things.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: When you go into time off, it's like a bye
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: right when you go into that time off on a
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: really bad note like that, I think it's a good
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: thing to have that extra time off and then you
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: fix the things. So I think Chicago is in a
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: positive spot. Charlotte has also been off for the same
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: amount of time since Sunday. They lost to Denver in
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: a much less embarrassing effort where they only lost by
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: nine to Denver and they got Cleveland tomorrow. So my
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: opinion would be leaned towards Chicago in this game. The Bulls,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: where are they at here? They're definitely a favorite, right, Yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: they're down from three and a half to three with juice,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: but fifty percent of tickets fifty eight percent of the
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: couch and the Bulls. I think laying it with the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Bulls is the right way to go here. I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: the public is not really gonna want to do that
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: with a Bulls team because the public is very recency bias,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and who's gonna want to lay points on the road
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: with the Bulls even if it is a It's a
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: bad hornet team. So I think the Bulls are the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: right side and that one. Yeah, Memphis minus seven is high.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I will talk about that.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And what I think is going on with that number.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Atlanta at Detroit this game. This might be my strongest
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: opinion in NBA. Take that for what it's worth. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: guess Atlanta they've been off since Saturday. Technically they went
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: into the buying a good note, but they only beat Washington,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: so I don't or not a vibe and into that
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: extra time off. I don't think that extra time off
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: is really gonna hurt them that much. That win against
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Washington did break a losing streak for them, But they're
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: playing Detroit here, man, so I don't think they're gonna
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: overlook Detroit. They actually played well last time they were here,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: back on December first. They only lost by one at Detroit.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Although you might argue, well, Detroit's gonna remember that and
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: make some adjustments here, but I don't like the spot
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Detroit is in. Detroit went into the break on a
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: good note. They've been off since Saturday as well. They
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: went on a two game win streak, so I think
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that break could hurt their momentum a little bit. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: after they play Atlanta, who they already did just beat
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the team they got next, Man, they're gonna be circling
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: this game they have up next against the Boston Celtics,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: because they're gonna remember that. The Celtics are the team
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that ended their bid to try to get the longest
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: win streaking Detroit Piston history. Detroit was on the verge
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: of making history. They had thirteen wins in a row.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: That's what everybody was talking about, fourteen wins, and they
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: have the biggest win streak in Detroit history. The Celtics
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: ended that street for them, So I think they're absolutely
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: gonna be looking ahead to that Celtic game. That would
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: be my opinion here. Don't have this as a play,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: but if I was gonna play an NBA game, it
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: would probably be this one. Taking the points with the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks. Pistons are up to a seven point favorite,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: So you get the key number here of seven maybe
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: even seven and a half, sixty seven percent of ticket,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: seventy eight percent of the couch on the Pistons. I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: don't love it enough to make it a play, but
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I would take the points with the Hawks and that one.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really hate the Bulls either.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: In their game tonight Indiana Philadelphia, I mean, this game
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: is fairly ugly, although Indiana is basically they're at a
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: point where they're kind of as healthy as they're gonna
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: be at this point without Haliburton. Indiana coming of a
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: loss of Sacramento on Monday, so they've had less time off.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to refresh my memory of which games
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: are in the NBA Cup. But the NBA teams that
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: are in the Cup I don't think are playing today,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: so well, that and I don't know if we really care, Oh,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: this team got eliminated from the NBA Cup.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if teams really care that much about it,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: like the teams. As I always point out, the teams
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: that care more about the Cup are usually the teams
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: that want some like sort of victory, some sort of championship,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and don't think they're going to be a contender for
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the NBA title, although the Thunder is so good, they
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: might win both because they're still in it for the cop.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Indiana went into the break on two wins in a row,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: being a Chicago and Sacramento.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Extra time off.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: They've only been off since Monday, but that could hurt
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: their momentum a little bit.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: They're going to Philadelphia here.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They might show up still though, because Philadelphia is an
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: alright team. Atlanta really, I mean, excuse me, Indiana can't
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: really afford to overlook anybody the way they're playing. Anyway,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the spot I think does set up a little bit
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: worse for Philly, although they went into the extra break
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: on a loss, but it was a big game against
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the La Lakers, and they came to within four points
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: of the Lakers. Now they get this malfunctioning Indiana team,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: if you want to call them that, and they have
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Atlanta and Naxa. They did just lose to Atlanta, a
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: loss for us on the Show in that brutal two
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: overtime game, so they might be even looking ahead a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: bit to Atlanta and then New York, two winning teams
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that they have to play after this.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So looks a little bit sandwiche to me.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Man, So my opinion in this game would be take
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the points with the Pacers. Where are we looking at?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Where's the market on this?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Oh? Here it is.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it's all the way down to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the bottom when it's one of the earlier games. But
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Sixers are already down from seven and a half to six.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You already missed out on the keyest number there, although
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I guess that could be because somebody's resting for the Sixers.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know, fifty two percent of the tickets on
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the Sixers, eighty two percent of the cash on the Pacers.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: So it looks like the money is strongly agreeing with
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: me on that on that game. Taking the points of
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the Pacers EMBIID is a game time decision, and so
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: is Maxie. Uh to me, I think Max he's gonna play.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: He's probable. It says he's sick, whatever, he he'll play.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sick as well. I was pretty bad yesterday.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's gonna play.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I mean the line kind of tells you that he
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: is anyway, Embiid who even knows Man he's probable as well.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: So the Sixers look like the will have of a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: full line up here for this one.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: So do with that information what you want to, I guess,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: but I would.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Take the points with Indiana Cleveland at Washington Cleveland right now.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Man, I mean, Cleveland is better than the record looks. Man.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I mean they've been dealing with some injuries. There's still
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: one of the top teams in the East. They have
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: had a long break. They've been off since Saturday, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: they went in on a pretty ugly note, losing to
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Golden State without Steph Curry. Golden State has been not
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: that great that rhymes I'm poetic here, So Cleveland might
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: use that extra time to fix some things.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: They don't have any big games coming up next really,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: so I actually think they're gonna show up for this one,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: even though it is against a really bad Wizard team,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the Wizards. They're also coming off an extended break. They've
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: been off since Saturday.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: It'll be a positive spot for them too.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: For sure, they should show up against Cleveland. They went
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: into the break on three straight losses, so they'll probably
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: use that break to fix some things, but this is
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a game memory. I think if you play the game,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: you gotta lay it with the calves. Man, that would
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: be my opinion. It's the NBA again. In the NBA,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: you don't really want to be scared off every single
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: time from laying double digits on the road. It's different
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: from the NFL because NBA has a lot more points
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: scored and this is a high total in the two
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: forties too, So I wouldn't be that scared to lay
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: it with the calves here. Sixty percent of tickets, ninety
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: eight percent of the cash on the calves. If both
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: teams are gonna show up in the calves are the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: better team, then that's kind of what I expect, all right.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Now Utah at Memphis.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Memphis up to a seven point favor The money
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: looks like it's coming back taking the Jazz fifty percent
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: of tickets, seventy five percent of the cash on the Jazz.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Now Memphis, I mean, I think it's hard to really
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: line Memphis, Like we don't even know who Memphis really is,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Like they've just been they just don't have an identity. Really,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the thing. But I think the recreational
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: betters might look at it and think, there's no way
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay seven points with a below five hundred team,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: which that kind of makes me want to lay the points, uh,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: because you know, like the oddspeakers are telling you that
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Memphis is significantly better than Utah, and looking at their records,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: it might look tempting to come in and take Utah.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: You has been a bad road team as well, two
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and eight, so that's not great for Utah. I think
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I've only played Utah as a home team this year,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: which is that's usually where you want to play them. Now,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: looking at the situation, there's kind of a lot going
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: on on the Memphis side of things in this game
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: that need to be accounted for here. Now, Utah went
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: into their break, They've been off since Sunday. They lost
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: two games in a row in blowout fashion, but to
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the Knicks in Oklahoma City.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Good teams.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Now they're coming out of that, yeah, I mean they
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: should refocus having that time off. I don't expect them
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to not show up for this game. But Memphis, Yeah,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: they went into the break on a good notes that
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: could disrupt their momentum. So the situation does look like
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you should be looking towards Utah Memphis. You know, they
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: could have their momentum stopped by going into the break
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: with two straight wins. But there are a couple there
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: are a couple of wrenches being thrown into this thing, man, where.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Zach Edy is now injured.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: He's gonna be out for like multiple weeks, and I
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: don't know what his injury is because he played in
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the last game against Portland. So now that kind of
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: puts Memphis in an injured player spot because he's he's
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: their best player pretty much with with Morant not there,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: although you know what I think about Moran, he rex
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: team chemistry. But with Edie out, that kind of means, oh,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: injured player spot. It means the team's gonna step up
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: in his absence, right the first game without him, They're
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: gonna show up for it. But there's another wrench being
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: thrown into this where now it looks like John Morant
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: might be back in this game. So if he comes back,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a weird chemistry shift, man, where it's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: like you're replacing Zachi Eidie with John Morant, which I mean,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: obviously they play completely different positions, but it's just it
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: is weird.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Utah does have some big men that maybe could
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: take advantage of Edie not being in there. Morants, I
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: do think he's a chemistry killer, man, And if he
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: comes back, I think it's a negative, especially in the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: first game back. That's like the reverse injured player spot.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: If he's even injured, I don't know. He comes back,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that's gonna throw another wrench.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Into this whole thing.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: And the team has to get used to him being back.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: They're gonna get into their new roles whatever. Again, he
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: seems like he's just a destroyer of team chemistry.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: He's questionable right now. So you got to keep an
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: eye on this. And with Memphis being a seven point favorite,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: you would think that that pretty much means Moran is playing.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I would think, because if he's playing, the osmakers are
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: gonna move the line towards the Grizzlies. Even if he
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: kills chemistry, he's still John Morant, so he affects the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: line only in one direction.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: So that's a long analysis there, But you throw all
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: that into a blender. I guess I would lean towards
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: taking the points with Utah but I don't love it, man,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I really don't. That's one of the more confusing games
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: that I've seen. I mean, that's that is not something
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I want to get involved in it all. Brooklyn at Dallas,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: this is a pretty ugly one. Uh Brooklyn. They won
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: last Saturday, or they won on Saturday before going into
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: their extended time off, could be a bit of a
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: momentum stopper having the time off. Although the win was
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: against the hapless New Orleans Pelicans, Brooklyn now coming into
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: this game going out on the road now, I do
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: think the spot is worse for Dallas though, because Dallas
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: went into the break on pretty much the best note
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you could have. They beat Houston. That's big, man. I mean,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Houston's one of the top teams in the West.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Dallas.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: It means even more to Dallas because Houston is now
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: kind of the big brother in the state of Texas.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: They're the best of the Texas three right now. So
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: that's a huge win for Dallas, and they went into
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the break on that. I think they're going to come
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: out of that a little bit flat, man, So I
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: would lean towards Brooklyn in this game. MAVs are up
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: from seven to eight fifty five percent of tickets fifty
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: nine percent of the cash on them for now.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: But I don't really agree with that move.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I'd see the market kind of flip around as the
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: day goes on that game, I would look towards taking
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the boys with Brooklyn, and then we have Minnesota Golden
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: State to finish this off. Now, I pointed out this game,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: which was part of the reason why I liked the
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Bulls against Golden State, was I thought Golden State would
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: have a huge look ahead to this game because this
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: is playoff revenge.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Minnesota is the team that eliminated Golden State from the
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: playoffs last year, and this is the first time they're
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: playing this season, so you know, Golden State has to
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: have this game circle man. The last time they faced Minnesota,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: they were getting bounced from the playoffs. So this is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: a huge game for Golden State. It's a big game
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: for both teams, but I think Golden State has more
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: of a motivating factor here Minnesota.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Right before they went into their break, which they've only
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: been off.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Since Monday, they lost a five game win streak to Phoenix.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: So against Phoenix, I should say they'd won five games
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: in a row before that, but they beat New Orleans
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: twice and the Clippers for the last three wins. They're
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: in a WEMBA list San Antonio team in that strike.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: So the best win in that whole stretch was the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: one against Boston where they had a nice comeback win there.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: So that win stream for Minnesota wasn't that good. Now,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Remember the other thing I said about Minnesota is they
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: still only have two games where they've won against winning teams,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and it was those two against Boston and San Antonio
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: without their best players. So this Minnesota team, they have
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: not stepped up well in class. The fact that they
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: lost their win streak, even though they've had extra time off,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I think that kind of hangs them over a little bit.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: When a team loses a win streak, a lot of
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: times it will hang them over. They got to go
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: out to the Pacific Coast where, yes, they did do
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: that already this year, and they did fine, so maybe
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: not a huge concern, but it's still gonna be late
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: on their biological clock. For Golden State, they're technically a
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: winning team by the way, as far as Minnesota versus
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: winning teams, Golden State, Hey, they're one game above five hundred.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Now it makes it seem like maybe you should play
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Golden State here. But I'm gonna hesitate with that too,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: because they had two wins going into their break against
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: even in Chicago. Of course, that Chicago game I don't
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: want to talk about anymore, a couple of big wins.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: They're going into the layoffs, so that layoff could break
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: their momentum as well.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: They're also returning over from a road trip.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Although they've had plenty of time off to get whatever
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: they need to get done at home, but a lot
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: of times that extra rest will cause you to settle
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: in man and actually exacerbate the distraction.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that either.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: The Golden State had gone out to the East Coast.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: They had been away between Thursday and Sunday, so not
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: a long road trip, but still technically a road trip return.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Now another negative for Golden State, which again, if you
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: don't watch my show, you're gonna say, how is this
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: a negative? Steph Curry is back, man. He hasn't played
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: since late November. He's not on the injury report. I
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: went to their.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Depth chart just to check.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: He's not listed as even questionable or out, So I'm
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: pretty sure Curry is playing in this game, So that
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: does set up a reverse injured player spot on the
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: spot of Golden State. Now and your star player has
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: been out for an extended period of time like this,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: he's been out for like two weeks. Yeah, when he
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: comes back, there's an adjustment that has.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: To be made.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Man Like, the team could ease up a little bit
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: because they were winning a little bit the last couple
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: of games that were winning without him. Oh, now our
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: star player is back, maybe we could take it a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: little bit easier. You know that just type of mindset
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: that's hard to It's hard to get that out of
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: your head. You know, as a player, you just kind
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: of it's just kind of naturally you tend to do that, right, Like,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you know, rely on the star player. Once he's back,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the teams have to kind of reassume their roles readjust
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: to it. So it's it's a bad spot, dude, for
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Golden State. I mean, it really is. So I think overall,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: I would probably have to lean in the direction of
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the tea walls here, even though normally I was gonna
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: rely on the the playoff revenge factor being one of
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: the best factors in this game. But I think that
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: gets negated by the reverse injured player theory and the
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: return homes spot, et cetera. So I think the Wolves
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: are the side to look at in this game. Sixty
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: two tickets, ninety five percent of the cash on them
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: money seems to agree with me. Warriors down from two
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to one here one and a half. So it's like
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: a pick the winner. Oddsmakers telling you the Tels are
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: the better team, although the records would also tell you that. So,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: although the records can be misleading. But that's it, man,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: those are the games today. I'll be back at some point.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: College football resumes tomorrow, mister, Thursday Night continued last night.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I gave you guys a lean on Atlanta plus the points,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: and they erased a fourteen point deficit in the fourth
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: quarter and one outright. I watched the end of that game.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: It was, dude, I like seeing Kirk Cousins do well. Man,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: It's just I don't know I like him, so that
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: was kind of fun to see. Plus I got the
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: pick right in my pick and pools or whatever. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: didn't even have it in my like money picks or
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: anything like that. Preview for the NBA show this NFL
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: show this week. I like a lot of the NFL
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: games this week, man, so I'm gonna have a hard
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: time trying to focus and narrow it down. I'm gonna
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: have somewhere between two and four plays probably. I don't
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: know how I'm really gonna narrow it down, because there
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: are multiple that I really like.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Where the last few weeks I haven't liked the board
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: This NFL week, I like a lot of it, So
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: hopefully that means we're gonna have a good week, but
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: we will see. I'm now twelve two and one I
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: think in the Thursday night games with my spread leans
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: and or plays three and one in the actual plays,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: I think, or maybe four and one.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bears Browns, Panthers Panthers Saints. Oh god, well Bears Browns. Yeah,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: that's that might be my best play of the week
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: in that game. So you might know what I'm thinking already.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: If you know how, I think you probably already know
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: what it's gonna be. That is almost definitely gonna be
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: one of my plays. Bjon Robinson, Yeah, are you in
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: the playoffs? Dirty sock dude. If somebody's in the playoffs
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: and they had Kyle Pitts last night.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, you.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Get like whatever thirty points out of your tight end slot.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, dude, My tight end is gone. I had
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Sam Laporta, so I'm like streaming tight ends. Now I
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: just have junk tight ends. I have a barner in
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Loveland right now, and I'm gonna buy this week. I'm
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: the number one seed in my main league, so I'm
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: gonna buy. But I have to to get into the money.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I have to win at least one game here. I
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: have to win the semifinals to get a buy here.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: So or I mean, I mean to get into the
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: money because the top three get paid in my league.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: So although I think third place only gets your money back,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: but I gotta do it. Man Stacks, what's up? Man?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out, but I am about to close
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the show out here once again. The two plays today
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: sandwich spots in basketball. We got Missouri State plus the points,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Texas plus the points.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Those are gonna be the place tonight. Thanks guys for
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: hanging out. We'll be back.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I'm you might be back tonight and start doing night
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: college basketball because Saturdays are just way too much to
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: do in the morning.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Even though I know I did it last year, but
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: that might be what I do.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Hopefully I'm gonna heal more throughout the day because I
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: don't feel good right now.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Hydrate and seuch. That'll do it for now. Man, Learn
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: it tone on Twitter, Learn it tone on Instagram. Like
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: subscribe to the show here, give me good to the comments,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Listen on audio, give me good reviews on audio. Dude,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: my Monday on audio completely blew up, which was the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: day that I dropped the normal Monday show, but I
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: also dropped the College Football Bowl preview and playoff preview
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: show to audio there even though you can't see what
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I'm doing with the bracket on audio, but that was
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: my biggest day that I've had on audio. It was
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: It was like six times bigger than my previous biggest day.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Somehow that one.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Got picked up. I don't know that was big. But
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: we've settled back into like normal normal see, which is
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: not good enough. So listen on Apple and Spotify. Give
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: me good reviews over there. Covered you is my yuke
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: channel here. I'm gonna try to get some more Christmas
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: stuff out at least Patreon dot com Slash learn the
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: toad for Yuke requests and a Yuke Spotify feed that
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the Christmas stuff up on it yet.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I know I gotta do that. Hopefully I can get
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: that done at some point.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: But preparing for all the bulls crap is really irritating
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: to the bulls. Like I'm constantly having to pay attention
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: to all the line moves in the bulls, man, that
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: you really have to pay attention. Plus I'm in like
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: bowl pick'ems and stuff, so you gotta like really stay
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: on top of that, like where's the line now?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Where am I getting value?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Like the spreads have locked like much earlier, so oh,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: we're getting a huge amount of value on this side
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: of the spread whatever that the bulls get crazy. And
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: then the confidence one on ESPN where it's straight up
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: but you assign a confidence value to that gets really insane.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Not really as good as that, because there are a
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: lot of underdogs that can win, So you gotta take
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: those favorites that you don't think you're gonna do well
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: and push them down in confidence at least, if not
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: just pick against them.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: So lots going on here, man.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Also check out the loser cast We had episode two
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: earlier this week. Me Leyton, Tyler, Yankee, a couple of
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: guys I know their names, Brosif and whatever, the other
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: dudes Zennis to Menas.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Go check that out.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: It's the new comedy panel podcast emer All Losers and
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: we nominate people for being even greater losers than we are.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: So go check that out.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Be on the lookout for the g spot the Giants
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Podcast New York Giants with me and Ben Weir, which
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: is going to start at some point probably this weekend.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: We might we might just kick it off with a
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: live watch party of Giants versus Redskins there, so we'll see.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Which is probably not one of the games I'm gonna
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: have a play on. I'll give you that one. That's
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: not one of the ones I'm really interested in. I'm
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: not really interested in Panther Saints either.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: That game.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Those are games that kind of confused me a little bit.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, you're up against. The number one seed
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: is twelve and one. Geez, a number one seed. My
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: league is super competitive, and I went ten to four,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: and usually the one seed in my league is at
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: best like ten and four, So we'll see. I think
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: it was ten and four, ten and four, yeah, something
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: like that. But good luck to you, sir. Hopefully I
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: can get one win out of this thing. I don't
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: even know who I'm playing.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: In the first rowd. We won't know until we see
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: who wins this week. But I don't know. I don't
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: know if I have a preference, whatever.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: But my team is My team's on thin ice, dude,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: because I have Pat Mahomes and Rashie Rice and they
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: have had excellent seasons. And I have Jonathan Taylor. But
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: now look at what's happening. Kansas City's falling apart. Colts
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: just lost their quarterback. So I don't know, man. I mean,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: maybe that does mean the Colts are gonna rely on
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the run more. Maybe that'll help Taylor, But I don't know, man.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: If there's no threat of the past, the defense is
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: can Key on the run and that's not good either.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Philip River is gonna come in for the Colts and
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: start lighting it up.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I can't believe they're doing that. Man.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: It seems like he might actually start the game this weekend.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I no, I don't even know who the Colts quarterback
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: is gonna be, So bet On the Colts obviously.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Actually, maybe we'll see about that one. Yeah, but I.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Don't know, Well what just happened? What was that streamyard
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: just buffering out? And I apologize? Maybe it's my internet connection.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: My internet connection is usually good though, because I live
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: too close to a city. But the benefit is that
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: you have internet that doesn't go out.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: All the time.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna do it, man. Yeah, yeah, thanks
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: for hanging out, guys. But yeah, Kansas City. At least
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: I have their defense against the Titans next week already
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: lined up, and then they play the Broncos the next week,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: which maybe I'll keep them for that if I make it,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: because the Broncos often sucks too.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Picks on which which show? Which show? Are we talking about?
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Loser casts? Loser cast? We will we pick losers? No?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: No, I'm my losers lose like I have not gone like.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: The only one that was decided so far was a
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Tyler one with Ashley Saint Clair in the first one
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: because he picked the most famous person, so he.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Had it really easy there. I don't do that.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I my pick this week with somebody nobody's ever heard of,
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: but it was because of what he did and it
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: was probably the most hilarious discussion possible.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: So that's why I did it. I don't care about
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: winning minutes loser cast. I care about the show.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: So oh well, we don't know yet because none of
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: none of the bowls or the college football playoffs.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Have happened yet.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Or you mean Monday, Monday morning? What did I have
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: on Monday? I don't even remember what was my Monday.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: I can look real quick, you see, Monday, it was
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a light day for me. I'm pretty sure on Monday.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I had for actual plays on
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: the Monday Show, but people were probably mostly listening to
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: the football show.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Let me see if they listened to my other show
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: on that same day, Monday, What did I have on Monday?
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: It was one to Oh it was the La Kings.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: They won.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did well. We won the one play on
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Monday with the La Kings.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, but yeah, hopefully we get some wins today.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we keep it going. We're we're closing out the
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: year pretty strong, man.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've been all right for the last week
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: or so, not like ridiculously hot or anything. Some ups
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: and downs, but some small wins in there for the
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: most part. So I mean, I'd like bigger wins, but
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna complain too much about a small win
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: like yesterday, though well I will because Vancouver should have
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: been a win, so I am pissed about that, but
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: that's gonna do it. I'll be back up possibly tonight
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: for a college basketball show, so I don't have to
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: do it in the morning, but we'll see. I gotta
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: look at see how many games are being played. If
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: it's a lot, then it will probably be tonight. So
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: subscribe here and you'll get the notification for that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I'll be back either.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Then or tomorrow morning, or it'll be both. Probably that'll
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: do it for now. Let's get some wins tonight and peace.
