• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's my answer.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: I think you know good wide receivers are a lot more available than your high-end cover guys.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, anything about uh Colorado's uh loss against Kansas?
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, obviously, did you see that Kansas has won three straight?
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_01: Kansas is the first team with losing records to beat three ranked opponents back to back to back weeks.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like, this is what we all thought Kansas was supposed to be a long time ago.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Lance Lipold and um Devin Neal and Jalen Daniels finally healthy.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: They look awesome.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: They ran for like 300 yards.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like I think they're gonna go end up going bowling, but like this is the kind of thing where it's like, where was this in September when they were like two and six to start the season?
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Devin Neal went off.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, Jalen Daniel Daniels continues to look awesome.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, yeah, you know, we were spot on on this pick.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, we went with the over, nailed it.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, didn't expect Colorado to lose, though.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Me, neither.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's that was terrible as well.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, very cool.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: All right, last one.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: Arizona State is good, should have lost.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: So, this is the Arizona Bizarre Arizona State bizarre ending with BYU.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: They had the ball first and goal.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: They were trying to run out the clock.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: He hikes the ball, scrambles around, doesn't want to give it back.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: So he doesn't want to get fieldwork, no touchdown.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, finally, he gets penalized for that.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: They're seven seconds left, fourth down.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: He snaps the ball, he runs around, he throws the ball as high as he can uh into the stands, doesn't kill the clock.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone thinks the game is over.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: They storm the field, they bring them all back out for one second.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: Kenny Dillingham is going bonkers, banana.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was one of the weirdest things you've ever seen in college football.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: BYU has the ball, the 45-yard line with a chance to Hail Mary to win, throw the ball in the end zone, it gets caught, but tackle two yards, tackle two yards short.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: That was I've never seen anything like that.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even know.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: I just go ahead and give me your thoughts on the BYU Arizona State final.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just a weird one.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I just that this is one of the things that makes college football so fun sometimes, is like they're not everyone's not the best at what they do and have been through all of these situations a thousand times and coached to the nth degree to know every situation.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're not, you know, good decision-making 30-year-old men.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: They're just college kids and and college coaches doing their best.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so weird things happen and it creates such weird moments.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know how to explain it other than that.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Did you see the video of the guy in?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: So obviously, so they all stormed the fields and it took them forever to get them off.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: They were like ushering them off, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: And then they get they had to get them off the sidelines, like up through like where the uh the ramps are where the trucks and all the gear come in.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like it took them forever to get them off.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: But it was one Arizona State fan who hid in the BYU injury tent.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: So during during the Hail Mary, you see him filming a selfie video from behind BYU in the injury tent.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: One, I've never seen the inside injury tent, so that was kind of cool.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Two, uh, this is incredible, brilliant.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: In the chaos, get in there, hide, and watch the game from BYU sideline injury tent.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Is that's just peak such a weird, funny thing to do, though.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like peak college football, and every such imagination, just you love to see that.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: How about before I move on?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Give me your James Franklin take.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Minnesota down to the wire, calls the fake, picks it up the fake game off.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so this is so this was actually a game that I was impressed with James Franklin.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, they didn't have it.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: There were things something's working out.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: Look at they were gonna lose outright, frankly.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: And Minnesota had every chance to win this.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: Minnesota was a solid team.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I should give them a lot of credit.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and uh he went for it.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: The fourth down call was great.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: The only thing I really don't like actually was um was row the boat, gentlemen.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: PJ Fleck not kicking the field goal, not playing for the win.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: Like, what do you have to lose?
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: You have a chance to win that game.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: And he thought I was gonna get the ball back, and he didn't.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Franklin, this was a this was one of the rare times where Franklin does what he's supposed to do, which is play to win and not play to not lose.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I was actually impressed with Franklin.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: It actually gave me a bit of endorsement.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: I don't love that his team came out flat for the first half and got down to got down to Minnesota at least 10-0.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: But other than that, I don't know.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: I feel pretty good about him bouncing back.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: What do you got?
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, just again, um, piggybacking on what you're saying, Franklin, gutsy call.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, the call that won him the game, basically, because you get the ball back to Minnesota there late.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they've been moving the ball well, and he just went for it and it worked.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so, yeah, tip tip of the cap to him.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well done indeed.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right, uh, to the homers.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: We've got to get the show rolling.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, UT did exactly what it needed.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty flawless.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: And this is funny.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: This was again, this was the game you were worried about.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: You didn't think they were gonna do it.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: They won 56 to nothing.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: You take we would cover because the cover spread was 42.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: 42 in a points.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: They covered by two touchdowns with 56-0.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it was exactly what Pipo did exactly what he needed to do, which was in light of the chaos.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: That game was at 3 32, it was earlier, right?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was a one o'clock game.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think one o'clock game.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: So, again, he did not know the SEC stuff behind him.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: He was in the same situation Indiana was in.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: He was like beauty contest mode, gotta do what's right.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: Did not know that Ole Miss was happening at the same time, didn't know about AM, didn't know about Bama.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: So did exactly what we're supposed to do and just beat the brakes off of UTEP.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't even watch this game.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: I was kind of tracking it on my phone.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Anything takeaway?
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody healthy?
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everyone uh relatively healthy.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: James Pierce came out with a little bit of a shoulder.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: He had a nice game, though.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, my only the only negative was Dylan Sampson didn't get enough carries.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: He went 11 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Would have liked to see him get a few more, uh, get over 100 just to keep that rolling.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, uh good game.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, did look a lot of good things about that game.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: Hard be upset about 56.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's also UTEP.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's hard to be said about 56, nothing.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: Uh uh, who we got next?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh UVA.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: UVA never had a chance.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: I foolishly thought they would.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: I bet on UVA, you bet on SMU.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: You were right.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: SMU pasted them, comes down to the Commonwealth Cup.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, they gave up uh nine sacks, which is tough.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh SMU.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's incredible.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: Bad.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you UVA's offense, 1.4 yards per pass attempt.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: So passing offense obviously was a non-factor.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: They are at five and six, which I guess is where they're supposed to be.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: And SMU we think might be a playoff team.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess that's okay, but that was just a tough loss.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Gonna come down to the Commonwealth Cup, UVA versus Virginia Tech.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: Only one of our beloved Virginia born and red raised raised Commonwealth teams are gonna make a bow.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a bummer.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, anything, any UVA SMU takes?
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: No, that was just pretty brutal.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, maybe even worse.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Hokies uh onto their third stringer, uh, three and turn quarterback went down to uh Durham and lost to Duke, and their catastrophic season continues.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: They are now sitting at five and six, unlike UVA, which we thought might be around where they are.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: They're supposed to be a nine and three team right now, and they are not that.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um injuries have clearly caught up.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: It was nice to see Tootin out there, but defense had no answer for um Malik Murphy and the Blue Devils.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, any, I mean, I'm just I'm I'm just heartsick for my hokey friends.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: Anything on the any Hokie Duke takes?
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I know that we're we're unsure on Brent Pry, but I don't know that anybody can can go win on the road with a third string quarterback against you know a solid, a good solid team.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Duke is a good team.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: They're not they're you know, they're eight and three, they're not terrible.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: They're a good team, they're a good ACC team.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and so you know, I just they they almost had it again.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Another one score loss.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't know what you can say about it.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're they're still playing hard, they're they're still toaching them up.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Tootin had a had a good game.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, just got to look look look to the next week and look on the next year.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Plug some of those holes.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I think next year is the the year, it's kind of the make or break year for Pry.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think hookies are gonna win this week, and we'll talk about the game that's coming in a second.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I think they're gonna get to a bowl.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they're gonna move on from Pry.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: I think this was a frustratingly bad season because of just a lot of kind of bad luck.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, the Vanderbilt double overtime, Rutgers was a little weird, the Miami Hail Mary situation, Syracuse.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um uh uh drones is hurt, Colin Schley couldn't really deliver.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm I'm making a lot of excuses, but my point is is like the Hokies were like two plays away, three plays away from being that nine and three team, 10 and 2 team.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: So, like, I kind of hope the Hokies keep keep keep the show rolling as it is.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: I really do think Pry is the guy.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: This is just this is a tough year, tough, tough way to wrap.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, we'll see.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, last one before we move forward.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, LSU, nice win.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: One 24-17 against Vanderbilt.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: This game was actually not as close as the score looked.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, we were pretty pretty controlled.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: This game, uh, Garrett Nussmeyer obviously had his best game maybe all year in terms of efficiency.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: Run game was really good, defense was outstanding.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: Our true freshman center, or sorry, freshman center was making good reads.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Will Campbell, left tackle, went SEC offensive lineman of the week.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, this was a kind of spot where we were all afraid in light of the the awful recruiting news.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: And those of you don't know about Bryce Underwood, LSU lost number one uh recruit in the 2025 cycle to Michigan uh past week, and obviously we're coming on the heels of the Florida thing, the Florida loss vibes and Baton Rouge were down, they were down bigly.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: And we played the gold game, we put our gold jerseys on, which I thought were a pretty cool alternative look for one game, and we got a win.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: And we got a win that we really, really needed.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: We're sitting at 7-4 going to the last week, uh, eight and four.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: National signing day, our early signing day is next week.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: This was a much, much needed shot of positivity in Bat Rouge.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm really, really glad we got it.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: And it kind of gives me some optimism uh about moving forward.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, any LSU van you takes?
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, LSU's defense, you got to give it to them.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um, didn't let Vanderbilt you know do what they like to do.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, they they like to you know grind it out, slow the clock down, eat up clock, run the ball, pick up third downs with Pavia uh's legs.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, they didn't they went two for 10 on third downs.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Pavia only ran for like what 40 yards, something like that.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, good good defensive game for for the Tigers.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: What was really nice was you probably noticed they they put in Nate Johnson a lot, which is um formerly Utah's backup quarterback.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: He's now the backup at Vanderbilt because they they what they are trying to do, and I don't I don't blame them at all, was the same thing that uh AM with Marcel Reed and Bama with Jalen Miro did so well to us, which was the zone read quarterback run keeper game.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: And Nate Johnson is not as good as Marcel Reed or Jalen Miller, but he's still pretty fast.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: And LSU was actually ready this time, and we actually stopped him and we did gap control and we played assignment football, and that didn't go anywhere.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: Vanderbilt tried to do the same thing that's beaten us a lot this year, and it didn't work.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: So, from a sign of my point, blah, blah, blah, of LSU's defensive growing, that gives me optimism.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: It sounds like the defensive staff's adjusting, guys are listening, guys are doing their role.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: So give me a lot because honestly, Jackson Arnold's a good runner.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're playing him next week, Oklahoma, be a little stiffer test.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we're gonna have to stop a running quarterback again in five days.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: And and you actually ran the ball pretty well on offense, and we actually ran the ball on offense.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: It is amazing how easy, how much easier it is to play defense and throw the ball when you run the ball.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: So, one thing that I'll note speaking of my I'm putting my tinfoil hatty on here for a second.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: Off to coordinator is Joe Sloan.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, he's had an up and down year, mixed bag.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: First year's a play caller for LSU.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: Brian Kelly, I think for the first time this season, had a play calling chart in his hand on the sidelines.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if he is calling the plays and running from Sloan, and we don't know about it, or maybe he's Sloan, maybe he's checking Sloan out of plays, saying, no, no, don't do this.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: But it seems like Brian Kelly also might have his hand tipping the scale of the play calling.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that's anything.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: That cheat in his hand might just be like, I want to know what he's talking about.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm just trying to do some research.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Uh no, it's it's the breakfast menu at Danny's.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it sure was.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know all the colors and all the squares.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that's anything, but keep an eye on that.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe Brian Kelly is getting more involved in the office of play calling because it definitely was different.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: We ran the ball like an SEC powerhouse team is supposed to do, and that was really, really nice.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, all right.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, that is enough of week 13.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Anything else you want to talk about looking back?
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: No, let's look forward.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: Let's look forward.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right, it is time for uh rivalry week.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think we should go ahead and pick some winners, and there it is.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: All I do is win, win, win, no matter what.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that stop.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, I couldn't find the sound buttons, had to do it.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, and just for the people out there, this is we didn't hit on the big bet this week or last week again.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but two weeks in a row now, we've been what?
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Six and two.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Six and two, six and two.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: Two is good record, and I'm gonna go one step further.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: This is the fifth week in a row.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: If you count the last time we hit it, which was five weeks ago.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: If you just took all of our picks and just straight bet them, like ten dollars on each of the ones, you'd be winners five weeks in a row.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: We've been above 500 on all of our picks, five weeks in a row.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: We were four and three, four weeks ago, five and three, three weeks ago, six and two, six and two, and then we hit it all five weeks ago.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, my point is like we're not making silly money, but we're pretty dialed in.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: So if you don't want to do the parlay with us, maybe consider just straight banging us all.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: These are these are good picks that are doing really well.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't know.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Feel good about that.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so that's the bike blitz better.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's go ahead and jump into it.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, Oregon State at Boise.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: This game is Friday.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna start with the Friday game.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna try and do chronologically as much as possible.

  SPEAKER_00: I I kind of like Boise in this in this in this state.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Oregon State, although they are riding high, prior to that had lost five straight.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think Boise State is still, you know, even though they're in the playoff right now, they still have a lot to play for.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: And um, I don't know.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going Boise.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to boyisey's cover.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: I want to take Oregon State, but they're on the road, so I don't feel great about that.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: A few weeks ago, you said Oregon, you said this was gonna be a strip-up spot for for the Broncos.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: Over under 50 57 points.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, who knows?
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, Genty, they just went to Laramie and won the ugliest game against Wyoming, which is two and eight, an awful, awful, awful two and nine Mountain West team.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: Stay away.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: Staying away.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right cool.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: All right, next one.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Oklahoma State at Colorado.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: Colorado, though, this spread is 16 and a half points, so it's come down a little bit.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: It was 17.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: Over under is 65.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it's in Boulder, it's gonna be freezing cold.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be noon on Friday, the day after Turkey, um, 10 a.m.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_01: local time.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, does Mike Gundy show signs of life?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_01: They scored 55 points against Texas Tech last week, so there's that.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I like Colorado to win this game.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if they cover me neither.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I I do kind of like the over, though, even though that's a big number.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, both teams have shown paper bags, so we have seen both teams play horrific defense multiple weeks in a row.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: So you want and and the Colorado over should have hit last week.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: We were right there for like a quarter and a half.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a the over-under was 59 and a half.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Our other our only other miss was the over-under on this Colorado Kansas game, and it was at 57 points for like a quarter and a half, and somehow it didn't go over 59 and a half.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm with you on the over.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Let's do let's do Colorado over 65.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: All right, very cool.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: Because remember, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State just went 55 to 48 last week.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: So there's there's potential for real points.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: All right, very cool.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Mississippi State at Ole Miss.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: This is the egg bowl.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: You win a golden egg if you win.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: So that's neat.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the spread is oh my god, 26 points now.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, almost four touchdowns.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, that seems like a lot of that seems like a lot of touchdowns.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh over under is 61 and a half.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, any egg bowl takes.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: This game is always a good game.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: I I just I don't care.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's always a good game, it's always a close game.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's too many points.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oldness just got deflated.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: Give me Mississippi State in the points all day.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, right there with you.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: Very cool.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: Classic, classic rivalry stop.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: We're doing okay.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: We're taking Mississippi State plus 26.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Totally agree.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: So many points.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: That's so many points.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: All right, next one.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Georgia Tech at Georgia.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, this is the uh what they call the clean old-fashioned hate.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Georgia is a 19 and a half points spread, it looks like.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, any um, there it is.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 19 and a half over under is 53 points.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, give me your old clean old-fashioned hate Ravalry Week game.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, George Georgia Tech.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: Georgia Tech is a pretty good team.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: And again, that seems like a lot of points for me.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: I could easily see this being like a 17-point Georgia win.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I think it's closer than the spread for sure.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: So sleepwalk game.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, give me the the the Georgia Tech yellow jackets, baby.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: They looked bad against UMass last week.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: They I don't think that Georgia cares about Georgia Tech that much.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't, I mean, I'm not, I do not live in Georgia.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, our friend Ian does.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: We could ask him, but do they hate each other?
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is there real legitimate beef between those two?
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I think Georgia Tech cares a lot more about this game than Georgia's, and Georgia has locked, has punched its ticket to Atlanta, which is a game of much greater value than next week.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: This is another sleepwalk spot.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: Give me Georgia Tech plus 19 and a half.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: Is that what you're thinking too?
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yeah, 100%.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Plus 19 and a half.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: All right, love her.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: Taking points.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Last one on Friday that I want to talk about, unless you want to add one.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Nebraska at Iowa.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: Nebraska is a five and a half point dogs game, is in where's Iowa play?
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: Iowa City.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: I should know.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Des Moines.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, god, I'm not cousin in Iowa.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: I should know.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: Iowa City.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Iowa City.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right, I said the first time.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: Kinneck.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Kinneck, Kinnick Stadium, right?
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: They waved the hospital.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, over under is 39 and a half.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's low.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's a low point total.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I don't know who wins this game, but I like the over.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: I actually won.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: We got absolutely cooked on the Nebraska under last week, so I'm a little sad about that.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I legitimately think Dana Holgren has figured some things out on offense, and I don't think Iowa's defense is nearly that good as we once as we thought they were, as good as we thought they were usually are, and they've figured out some things on offense as well.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: 39 and a half points is not a lot of points.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, do you like to spread or the over under here?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: I like Nebraska.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: I can take the over, but I like Nebraska.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think Nebraska's a better team.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're searching.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Call me a victim of the moment.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we I get hit with one of these like each week, but it's a feeling, and usually I'm right.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I think Nebraska's surging, and I like Royola.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, give me give me Nebraska.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: I I also I like your take on the over as well.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: I would rather take the points, five and a half, because I think there's I also think there's a world where like it goes this game is like I don't know, 21-24, and the over hits anyway, but it's also a three-point game.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I feel I'm with you.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: I think Nebraska is surging.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think they found some life, I think they figured out a couple things on offense.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I just this could very easily be a field goal game.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: I I want to do plus five and a half.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: Can I talk you into that?
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: All right, cool.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do let's do Nebraska.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think Nebraska for the record, I think Nebraska wins outright.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: But but I'm I'm on board.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm on board.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, I'm gonna ask, do you want to bet bat?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: You want to bet plus one plus before.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's be safe.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, temper, temper.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: All right, we're taking, we're just gonna we're just gonna take plus five and a half.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: All right, very cool.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: All right, we are into Saturday, Michigan at Ohio State.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: This game is called the game, which is nonsense because um man, they just Ohio State just loves the, you know, they're the Ohio State, they just really like calling themselves the the team.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: So whatever.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_01: Spread is 20 and a half points, spread is 39.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, the total's gone down.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: Total is now 39 and a half.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, oh no, no, 43, excuse me, excuse me.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: 20 and a half to spread 43 over under.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I don't know.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Does Michigan muck this up?
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Is Ohio State out for blood?
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: People are Discord are claiming that Ohio State looking for revenge, which I can see it's a reasonable position.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, give me your take on the game.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think this is one where the rivalry aspect of it really does matter.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is a very important game to both of these squads, and I think you'll probably see the best performance that Michigan shows all year.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I I my question is just like, is it enough?
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: 21 is a lot, but Ohio State's certainly capable of doing that.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think the line is is right for me, you know.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I think it's spot on.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have strong takes um one way or the other.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: I could potentially go the over though, because I do think Ohio State's gonna put up some points.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: I 43 points is not a lot of points.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'm kind of with you on the over.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Because if you say if you think if you figure it's a 43 point total and the spread's 20 and a half, that means Vegas thinks Ohio State's gonna win 31 to 10.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think I think Michigan's gonna score more than 10 points.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: I really do.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I'll go.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: I also could see there's also a world in my mind.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking about Jim Harbaugh year two when uh Dwayne Haskins was hitting those wide receivers.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: They just couldn't cover them.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I think I think Ohio State won like 55 to 13.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like this could be a you've beat us three times.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: We are the big brother, you're going down, you're in the shoe.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like just bloodbath.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, I could see that for sure.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't see a world where Michigan keeps it super close or wins.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: So I think we're on the over.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's do, yeah, let's do the over.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Michigan, Ohio State.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: Over.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: All right, very cool.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh God, we still have so many games talk about.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have to bet these all.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Just keep in mind we have a 20-leg parlay for the last week.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: We're still gonna pick them.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: We'll we'll we'll figure out as far as they may.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, all right, South Carolina um at Clemson.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: The Palmetto bowl um over under is 49 uh points.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um so obviously, South Carolina's surging.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: There's that.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um, they're clinging on to that three-game loss hope.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, this is one of those games where the fans really do hate each other.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think Death Valley is gonna be rocking.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: And honestly, I think Dabo, they're starting to hear some voices around him.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he lost bad to Louisville.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, they got the breaks being off against Georgia.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this is I I think this is gonna be a really good game.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be a really good game.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: I could see a seven-point win either way, so I'm kind of leaning stay away, actually.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: I know I just said we should bet every game, and I'm starting with this one.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the spreads for over-under's 49.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: Doesn't mean anything to me.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: It could be a 20-point game or an 80-point game.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is a coin flip to me.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's it's it's at Clemson.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, if you had the if you if you had to pick one, I'm taking Clemson for the win because it's at home and I think they've got a lot to play for right now.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: How how good is South Carolina?
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think South Carolina's pretty good.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: Still don't really know how good Clemson is, to be honest.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I would I would pick Clemson, but I'm staying away when we're talking on bets.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'll stay away from that one, too.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: All right, cool.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I would pick South Carolina to win that game just for fun, just because I think Lenora Sellers and the defensive end or defensive linemen are gonna get after it, but I could obviously be wrong.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Kansas at Baylor.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Kansas is red hot team.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this game opened as Baylor minus one.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: It has moved, it is now Kansas minus one and a half.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: So money is coming big in on Kansas.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: This game is played at Baylor.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so uh it'll be played in Texas.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh over over under is 61 and a half.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh wow, that's going that's a big point spread.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go ahead and say it right now.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: Mike Wade, game of the week.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_01: This game is gonna be fun to watch.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, love Sawyer Robertson, that offense.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: Love Devin Neal.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I know that we are big Baylor stands on this podcast.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, but that's not true.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: Big Dave Aranda stands on this podcast, and for good reason, I'm on Kansas.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: Beat three ranked teams in a row.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: That offense is finally humming.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: J Lon Daniels is killing it, Devin Neal is killing it.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: Vegas seems to like Kansas.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: I got Kansas winning this one.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I do too.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Baylor's hot.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: Baylor's hot as well.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: Baylor's won five in a row.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but they've done it against pretty bad teams.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, they beat Houston, who's abysmal, 20 to 10.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think Kansas is surging.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: I like I like the Jayhawks.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Kansas to win.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Notre Dame.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, uh minus seven and a half points at USC.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_01: This battle for the jeweled chalet.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Can you tell the good people what a jeweled chalet is, real quick?
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: Chaleley.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a wand.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a walking stick.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: The magical wand walking stick.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: Magical walking stick.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: Spread is seven and a half points.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: USC is getting over a touchdown at home.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, over under 52 and a half, over under 52.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, I was talking earlier about Notre Dame just bullying bigger teams, just being stronger than them.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: This is a long flight.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, USC's getting USC's getting a touchdown at home.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have any faith in this one.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um, uh, 52 seems like a big number.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_01: I think if anything, I'd bet the under in this game.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um, just because I think Notre Dame's gonna just gonna try and run the bejeezes out of the ball and kind of shorten the game effectively.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I honestly did you if you hear what USC's comments about their quarterback, you know, it used to be air it out, get big numbers, win the Heisman, be the California kid.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's like protect the ball, make good decisions.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: I think they're playing conservative football, manage the game, manage the game, which is not what you ever want to hear.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_01: Lincoln Riley of all people saying about the quarterback position, but they are.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I would go under if I was doing anything here, but also could be a stay away for for all the purposes.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: I just call me a hater.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: I just still don't fully believe in Notre Dame.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: I still don't think I think this could be a trap kind of slip-up game, not a trap game because they're well aware of everything in the table, but I do think that USC has enough talent, and Miller Moss is a good quarterback.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: He's just struggled at times.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_00: He's he's really flashed, he's looked really good at times as well.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I think this is gonna be a good game.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I I kind of like USC to win it, but uh from a bet betting standpoint, I think it's a probably a smart stay away.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, we're gonna, yeah, we're we're gonna go ahead and lay off that one.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, very cool.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna pick uh uh I'll pick I'll pick the under, but I don't I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Iron Bowl all Auburn at Alabama.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: This game is in Tuscaloosa, which is not usually a good sign.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: I don't Auburn usually doesn't win in that in that stadium.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the spread is 11 and a half, so it's gone up a little bit.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh over under is 52.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, just by like just rule of college football fan.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: Any team getting 11 and a half points, you should say, okay, I'll take that.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this is one of the most hated, best, fiercest rivalry anywhere.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Auburn is what is kind of like Virginia Tech.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: They're like two or three weird things away from actually being a pretty good team, being a seven and three, eight and four type team.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_01: I don't see why Alabama's getting 11 and a half points, especially now that their season just got crushed and Alabama is fighting for their life.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: I like Auburn plus 11 and a half just because things get weird in this game.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: Things do get weird in this game.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I I I don't quite know what to expect, but I like your train of thought.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_00: Auburn has kind of figured out some things on offense.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: They've the big thing that's been killing them all season has been the turnover bug.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: And if they can if they can limit that, um, this is really for me kind of the the Jalen Milrow game, you know.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_00: Is he gonna play the way he's capable of playing?
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_00: Is he gonna put the team on his back?
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: Does he care enough to do that?
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: If that, you know, I don't know where his mental headspace is.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: They're still knocking on the door and there's still potential for them to be in the college football playoff.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: So, what how does Caitlin de Bohr have them prepared and ready to go?
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think Auburn's gonna be ready.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, so that's my question.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I I'm with you.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm willing to take Auburn in the points here.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's go Auburn plus 11 and a half.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_01: I don't, I'm not sure they win.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if I'd probably bet Alabama to win the game just because there are some talented issues for sure, but I just think Auburn's gonna come out hair on fire.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: And they look, they're five and six.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_01: If they can go, they know this week, right now, they're like, if we can somehow play out of our minds and get to a bowl, beating our in-state rival, like the shift, the energy shift, suck to suck that much life out of Tuscaloosa and to inject into the planes.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like, this is just a golden, golden opportunity to really sway the momentum back to Auburn in the post-Savan era.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, give me Auburn, I think, to come step up and seize the moment um and cover.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_01: And lose by 10.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: Lose by 10.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: 11 and a half is a good number.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Miami at Syracuse.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Miami is a 10 and a half point favorite.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, they are a shoe-in for the ACC championship.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_01: They're giving up 10 and a half points.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and at Syracuse, which played in the dome, the over-under is 67 and a half, so they're not expecting a lot of defense.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I don't know, 10 and a half points on the road against Miami's awful defense.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of like Syracuse here.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I kind of like Miami here, but I think it's a shootout.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think I think Miami, again, you know, they they're still fighting, they're still not um there's still style points still matter, I think, is what I'm trying to say.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think Miami can can put up some points.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I think it's you know, probably a 13, maybe 13-point game when it's all said and done.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of points for both sides.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so it sounds like we're gonna stay because I like Syracuse, and I think the the over-under is already pretty high, 67 and a half.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: So we agree there's gonna be a lot of points.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't feel super strongly either, so I'm staying away here.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna stay at this game.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: I'll take Syracuse because I this is just this is just one of those weeks where I'll I'll take the dog and the points, but you know, that's just and he'll take Miami, obviously.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Ruckers at Miami at sorry, Michigan State.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I think the spread moved a little bit.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: Ruckers plus two.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't this is the Mike Blitz game.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: This is the Mike Blitzgit game.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_00: Why else would we be talking about Ruckers and Michigan?
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is the game that Ruckers has to win to get to six and a half wins to for me to prove to you that he's the greatest coach of all time.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: And I was supposed to prove it last week with the Illinois game, didn't work out in my favor.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this game is uh in East Lansing, Michigan.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um uh I really want them to win, and I'm not confident they will.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: I just for the record, I don't I have zero takes on this game.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is this is this is not on my radar.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_01: I've already got all right.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not betting this game.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_01: I got enough riding on that.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_01: I've got my six and a half wins ticket.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_01: We're skipping it.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's keep it rolling.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_01: All right, we have like five more games and we're running long.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Florida against Florida State.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, this game is the sunshine showdown.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, 15 points.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_01: Florida is clearly 50 points better.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_01: Any reason to think Florida State shows any signs of life in this game?
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_01: In Doke Walker, home game for Florida State.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_01: If any fans even show up.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_00: No, I no, no, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida's surging, Florida's playing for a lot of of pride and and they're gelling in a lot of ways.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't care that this is a rivalry game because the team stopped caring weeks and weeks and weeks ago.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, this is a team who who lost by 23 touchdowns to a North Carolina team that just fired their head coach.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_00: That was just a couple weeks ago.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_00: So no.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm thinking Florida.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Florida 15.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: I think you're right.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, this is obviously probably the most interesting game of the day.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Texas at uh Texas AM, a rivalry from the Big 12 that we've that brought to the SEC.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_01: One of the better games they stopped playing old tiny big south, right?
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_01: Tiny Big South, that's right.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um major, major stakes.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: Texas AM is actually still in control of its destiny.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_01: If Texas AM wins this game and beats George in the SEC championship, they're going to the playoff, whether anybody likes it or not.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: Don't think they will, but they're obviously this obviously they're really a high stake game.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_01: Texas AM is going to give them their best shot.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Quinn Ewers, bum ankle.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Texas, a little fraudulent, haven't played anybody or beaten anybody good.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_01: Their best win is like Arkansas or Vanderbilt's at this point.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_01: Um, obviously got shelled by Georgia at home a month and a half ago.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_01: Bogey move.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, what um nice I you know I don't know there.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think the spread is, I'll tell you the truth.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_01: I think the spread is perfect, and I think the over-under is perfect.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_01: I think five and a half points and 48 and a half is like right where I'd kind of put it anyway.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm if you do you have a strong leaning on anything here?
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, I feel like Texas edges this one out in a really close back and forth game.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm really excited about this one.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: This has been a long time coming for both of these fan bases, and um, yeah, I think it's it's it's a must must see TV.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_00: Can't wait to watch it.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_00: I think Texas ultimately gets the win.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, it's a it's kind of a coin flip.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's gonna be a good one.
• 33:58
  unknown: All right.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_01: So we're I think we're gonna stay away from this one from the betting standpoint.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, cool.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: All right, uh, also games that we're not gonna we're not gonna bet on, but I just want you guys to know because it's rivalry week, the governor's cup, Kentucky against Louisville, the Territorial Cup, Arizona versus Arizona State, the Apple Cup, Washington State versus UW, and the old Oaken Bucket, Battle of the Bucket, Indy, Indiana versus Purdue.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: So Rivalry Week is awesome.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: Keep your eyes on all those games.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_01: One or two of them will be interesting, I promise.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: All right, lastly, Homers, Homer time.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know what?
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_01: Let's start with the big one.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_01: The Virginia Homers playing each other.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_01: UVA at Virginia Tech, seven and a half point spread, 48 and a half.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_01: This is the Commonwealth Cup.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: Only one of our beloved four teams is gonna have a chance to win a bowl in this game.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh one to one's gonna go in, one's going five and seven, one's not.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: One's bowling, one isn't.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know who needs it more.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_01: They both really do, both in year three, both having underwhelming seasons.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_01: What are your what do you got?
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: You know, this would be an easy Virginia Tech pick for me if their quarterback position was a little bit healthier.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_00: That that's such a big question mark for me.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna have to lean on defense, they're gonna have to lean on a banged up Tutan to get the job done.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: It is at home, and I think they they probably do uh edge out the Wahoos, um, but not an easy pick for me.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take Virginia Tech.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think I am as well.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um I think they're gonna win.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna cover, but not by a lot.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be a 10-point game.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um, uh I think they're gonna, I think, I think Virginia Tech's defense is gonna do play play well.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_01: I think the home crowd, I think, I think Hokie Nation is gonna step up.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: I think Blacksburg's gonna be a tough place to play.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna get loud.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think um uh Ener Sandman's gonna be thumping, and I think the vibes are gonna be a little higher than they are than the than UVA.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: This is one of those games, it doesn't matter how these teams are playing, it doesn't matter what their records are, it still means a lot.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: And both of these van bases are kind of used to being in this position where, like, hey, this is our season.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go ahead and you know, put a stamp on it.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, own the state.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Oklahoma at LSU.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_01: LSU is a six-point favorite.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of points for my Tigers.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, spread over-under is 47 points.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, I'm so biased in these games.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_01: It's so hard for me to pick these ones.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'll tell you how I feel.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_01: I am relieved that we are six-point favorites.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_01: That means people smarter than me think we are six points better.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I saw Oklahoma did last week to Alabama.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_01: I saw Alabama did to us.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I saw what we did to Vanderbilt.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_01: This game should probably be closer to a pick'em.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I can't bet on Oklahoma, so I'm not going to.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I if I were, if you were forcing me to, I would take Oklahoma plus six.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: I will not out of principle, but that's what I would do.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what worries me in this game is LSU's inability to run the football because you have to be able to run the ball against the pass rush that Oklahoma has.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_00: They've got a nasty front seven, they've had one all season.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: They wreak havoc in the backfield, and you're not going to be able to sit back and drop back and pass.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_00: Nussmeyer is going to get killed.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to turn the ball over, he's going to force things.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think LSU wins this game, but um, they've got to be doing some game plan and some scheming.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna have to figure out a way to run the ball.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't think Oklahoma can do enough on offense.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_01: So we're not gonna put the spread.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to put the total?
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_01: Just 47 points.
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_01: And 47 points seems right to me.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: It seems like a good line.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm staying away.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's good as my gut.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_01: All right, we're gonna stay right with this one.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_01: All right, last one.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Tennessee um against Vandy.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Vandy is a let's see, they are 11-point um underdogs.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_01: This this spread has moved a little bit.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: It was nine and a half or ten when I first wrote it.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, over under has sat at 48 and a half, still is.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, do the vault the vols are in.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this is the last game of season if they win.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_01: And are do they feel the need to bludge in Vanderbilt in a half construction stadium?
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like Vanderbilt.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know that they can.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is some I think this is probably a two-score game, you know.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's gonna be a pretty close game.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't think Vanderbilt can do enough as far as explosive plays go.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Tennessee's defensive line needs to control the line of scrimmage.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're their linebackers need to work north uh uh east and west and and keep Pavia contained.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_00: If they do that, I mean if this is a tackle for loss game.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_00: If Vanderbilt gets behind the sticks, they can't, they cannot pick up first downs.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: They just won't be able to.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then Tennessee can pour it on.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: So if Tennessee gets up early, I think they I think they can win by multiple scores.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but this is completely one of those games where it's all about the flow of the game.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_00: If Vanderbilt can control the flow of the game by by salting it away, picking up these, you know, every time it's third and mid, run of the game.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_00: Stay ahead of schedule and another first down.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I could kind of see it going either way.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_00: I think Tennessee wins, but um, you know, I don't have any confidence they cover.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's stay away from that one as well.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, because I'm also in the same boat.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: I could I think you're right.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think this is this is the kind of game that I've always gonna bet on that for the first quarter.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like, let me see what what they're showing me.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_01: Let me see if Vanderbilt can do can do what the Vanderbilt thinks they want to do, like they did Alabama, they could pull that upset and Virginia Tech.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but you know, I also wouldn't be surprised if Nico uncorked a couple and gets away.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_01: If they're at 14-0 early, then like that's what it is.
• 39:18
