Episode 550: Week 8 Betting Preview: Upsets, Hot Seats & Underdogs With Bad Intentions · The Crazy Sheet - CFB Handicapping

0:02
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's your favorite time
0:04
Speaker 1: of week. You get to download the crazy sheets, spend
0:07
Speaker 1: some time with Scotty and Mark talking about some college football.
0:10
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio. Scotty's at home. Wow.
0:14
Speaker 2: Wow.
0:15
Speaker 1: Wow. How about that last weekend?
0:18
Speaker 2: What a week. I mean, was that not crazy? I mean,
0:21
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody had Georgia losing on their bingo card.
0:28
Speaker 2: That's last name is not. Shug Jordan or Dyle or,
0:36
Speaker 2: I mean, just crazy. I mean, that was crazy. Man,
0:40
Speaker 2: Kentucky OU. Kentucky finding a way to keep getting it done.
0:45
Speaker 2: I mean, that is wild. Ole Miss put it on Missouri.
0:52
Speaker 2: I mean, finally that Ole Miss defense made it look
0:55
Speaker 2: like they were capable of something. Bama could do nothing.
0:59
Speaker 2: Against Big Orange. I mean, that was a shocker. I mean,
1:04
Speaker 2: Kamario Taylor not playing for Mississippi State. That's the easiest
1:07
Speaker 2: 14 points you could have ever laid. All of my
1:09
Speaker 2: friends were– we had friends at the market. They're like, oh,
1:13
Speaker 2: I bet we stay within the number. I'm like, okay.
1:16
Speaker 2: I mean, that made my whole weekend how much I
1:20
Speaker 2: bet on that game. So, I mean, it was great.
1:22
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Indiana. Ohio State now down Julian Sane. I mean,
1:31
Speaker 2: several questions. What's that do for Texas' strength of schedule
1:34
Speaker 2: if they go on to lose another game or two?
1:37
Speaker 2: Because I think that's entirely likely. I have to tell you,
1:41
Speaker 2: when they went for it, they got the ball first
1:44
Speaker 2: and goal inside the two. Ryan Day, I don't care
1:49
Speaker 2: how many national championships he wins. I don't care. I
1:53
Speaker 2: don't care if he's listening. He's a dumbass. The first
1:58
Speaker 2: three plays, Jeremiah Smith, the best player in college football,
2:03
Speaker 2: is standing on the sideline, and they've got three tight
2:06
Speaker 2: ends in. You've got the best player in college football
2:09
Speaker 2: standing on the damn sideline. Oh, they bring him in
2:12
Speaker 2: on fourth down, and oh, what happens? They get a
2:14
Speaker 2: guy wide-ass open because they have to triple cover the
2:18
Speaker 2: best player in college football. And Sane almost made a
2:21
Speaker 2: bad throw in that pass, and it was almost incomplete,
2:24
Speaker 2: and they would have lost that ballgame. All because he's
2:27
Speaker 2: a dumbass. And everybody's going, well, he didn't. Doesn't make
2:30
Speaker 2: him not– doesn't make him intelligent all of a sudden.
2:35
Speaker 2: That was horrible. Whoever made those personnel decisions ought to
2:38
Speaker 2: be fired in Columbus. I mean, that was coaching malfeasance.
2:43
Speaker 2: It was Smith. That's exactly who it was. And Tennessee
2:48
Speaker 2: Titan fans, they traded– he's the one that got rid
2:52
Speaker 2: of A.J. Brown, and they still hadn't recovered. And that
2:55
Speaker 2: idiot was the Steelers' offense coordinator, and it finally drove
2:59
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin into retirement. I'm telling you, that was awful.
3:04
Speaker 2: Worst thing I saw the entire weekend, Notre Dame loses
3:09
Speaker 2: to Miami. They have no business in the playoff. They
3:13
Speaker 2: went and got that ass spanked. I know they had
3:15
Speaker 2: a chance to win, but BYU didn't have one of
3:18
Speaker 2: their very best players, too. And being without a stud
3:20
Speaker 2: running back, That was an impressive win for BYU. I
3:26
Speaker 2: don't think they're the number two team in the country
3:28
Speaker 2: because I have eyes. But Notre Dame's got no business
3:32
Speaker 2: in the playoff if they go get thumped by Miami.
3:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're Notre Dame, there's got to be a
3:37
Speaker 1: little bit of a pucker factor because that strength of
3:39
Speaker 1: schedule is not very good. And I know we've been
3:42
Speaker 1: riding them for a while, and I had a conversation
3:45
Speaker 1: with a guy who was telling me, The Notre Dame fan, graduate,
3:48
Speaker 1: goes to games. And he told me before the game,
3:50
Speaker 1: he said, this team just doesn't look fast to me.
3:52
Speaker 1: And I was like, really? He's like, no. He goes,
3:54
Speaker 1: go look at what we've played. He goes, we haven't
3:56
Speaker 1: beaten anybody good in two years. And he goes, we've
3:59
Speaker 1: played good teams well. He goes, but we haven't won.
4:03
Speaker 1: He goes, I don't think we're going to win on
4:04
Speaker 1: the road. And, I mean, I was on BYU plus
4:07
Speaker 1: the number at jump on that one just because you're
4:10
Speaker 1: going to a– that's a great environment for college football.
4:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to give Utah the state. I'll throw Utah
4:18
Speaker 1: State in there. Utah, the state, as far as a
4:21
Speaker 1: college football stadium environment, Rice-Eccles, Provo, I mean, for places
4:26
Speaker 1: that you can't get your hand bone on and pound
4:29
Speaker 1: about 80 beers, those dudes get it rocking in there. And,
4:32
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a true on-field advantage, plus you're at altitude.
4:35
Speaker 2: No question.
4:37
Speaker 1: I mean, great environment for BYU in there. And their
4:40
Speaker 1: game day experience looks fantastic, too.
4:42
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I mean– I will tell you this on BYU.
4:45
Speaker 2: I think they're benefiting from the age factor. You know,
4:48
Speaker 2: the Mormon missions, especially on the line of scrimmage. But
4:51
Speaker 2: they got more mature players across the board. And as
4:54
Speaker 2: a result, I think they're beating a lot of these kids.
4:57
Speaker 2: You got a bunch of dudes out there that have
4:58
Speaker 2: to grind, that have to work hard. And they're not
5:02
Speaker 2: the marquee recruits. I will also say, Bachmeier, that dude
5:08
Speaker 2: could get them to run through a wall. That team
5:11
Speaker 2: follows him. He's a leader. You got to be impressed
5:16
Speaker 2: by that. Mark, we can't not talk about... How about
5:19
Speaker 2: that Florida State-Miami ending? And how about that shitholding call
5:23
Speaker 2: that didn't get us a two-point conversion to tie that
5:27
Speaker 2: game and send it to a third overtime? That was
5:29
Speaker 2: a terrible call. I get why they called it. I
5:33
Speaker 2: think the kid slipped as much as he was jerked down,
5:36
Speaker 2: but the ref didn't see it, and he saw an
5:38
Speaker 2: immediate fall, and he thought the kid got held. But whatever...
5:43
Speaker 2: It just blocked a guy. He wasn't in danger of
5:45
Speaker 2: getting to the, that was like calling a backside hold
5:49
Speaker 2: on an 80 yard run. It went right. And they
5:51
Speaker 2: call it on the tackle on the left side. And
5:54
Speaker 2: that guy had, and he was going around the guy's
5:56
Speaker 2: outside edge. He didn't have any chance to make a play.
5:59
Speaker 2: It had no bearing on the play and, and it
6:03
Speaker 2: robbed us of a great, what could have been a
6:05
Speaker 2: great ending, but then we got the fourth down throw,
6:08
Speaker 2: and holy smokes, they almost did it again from 10
6:10
Speaker 2: yards farther back. Wide receiver got his hands on it,
6:13
Speaker 2: and Miami DB took it in the air. What an
6:17
Speaker 2: ending to a football game that I'm guessing 90% of
6:22
Speaker 2: America didn't see. They just saw it on Twitter.
6:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with you. But the thing is,
6:30
Speaker 1: last week, let's get back to our big conversation we
6:33
Speaker 1: had whether Arch was going to get Sark fired or
6:36
Speaker 1: whether Sark was going to get Sark fired. And you
6:39
Speaker 1: and I had been debating this off air in conversations
6:42
Speaker 1: for a bit.
6:43
Speaker 2: And it's got a great possibility to be both.
6:46
Speaker 1: Good. But I will say this, the fact that Arch,
6:49
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that Sark publicly came out this
6:51
Speaker 1: week and said, the backup's going to get some one
6:54
Speaker 1: reps in practice, to me was, Hey, you know, and
6:59
Speaker 1: I'm all for it because it's like it's like you
7:01
Speaker 1: and I talked about. They are grown men. They are
7:03
Speaker 1: getting paid. Are they young men?
7:04
Speaker 2: Yes.
7:05
Speaker 1: But are they grown? Yeah. And you need to treat
7:08
Speaker 1: them with like that. It's like, look, man, you are
7:11
Speaker 1: not getting it done. It's like we got a damn
7:13
Speaker 1: good football team, but they've now lost Colin Simmons. I
7:16
Speaker 1: think he's done for the year.
7:18
Speaker 2: By the way, he's not. I think he's back four
7:20
Speaker 2: to five weeks is what I heard this week. But Mark,
7:24
Speaker 2: their season may be over. That's right. Will he come back?
7:28
Speaker 2: He may mail it in. Two things on that. First,
7:32
Speaker 2: how about him standing on the field and basically he
7:35
Speaker 2: is sitting there injured as they're looking at his knee
7:38
Speaker 2: and he's pointing at the guy that clipped him, you know,
7:40
Speaker 2: or cut him low and cussing him, calling him up. Oh,
7:47
Speaker 2: that's beast mode. I mean, look, there are probably people
7:52
Speaker 2: that frowned on his language or whatever. Great. That dude.
7:57
Speaker 2: knew he had been hurt, he knew it potentially ended
8:00
Speaker 2: his career, and he called that guy exactly what he
8:03
Speaker 2: needed to be called for trying to injure what is
8:06
Speaker 2: likely the number one pick in the draft if it
8:10
Speaker 2: doesn't have a serious injury. Second part of that, how
8:13
Speaker 2: about Sarkeesian and that asshole answer he gave? There's nothing
8:18
Speaker 2: likeable about Steve Sarkeesian. There's really not. I mean, there's
8:22
Speaker 2: just like if I'm as a dad– He is one
8:26
Speaker 2: of the least people I would want my son to
8:29
Speaker 2: go play for. He's crazy, but I just, I just
8:32
Speaker 2: don't think he's a leader. Like I don't see things
8:34
Speaker 2: about him that I, that I want my son to be,
8:37
Speaker 2: you know? And, and at the end of the day,
8:39
Speaker 2: you got a guy who's going to have a ton
8:41
Speaker 2: of influence on kids. I don't know how he recruits
8:44
Speaker 2: the way he does. I would not, I think it's
8:46
Speaker 2: because a lot of dads are out of it. Um,
8:49
Speaker 2: because I don't think there's a lot of dads that want,
8:52
Speaker 2: I want their kid playing for the art. I don't
8:53
Speaker 2: know how he, I don't know how he sold the
8:55
Speaker 2: Mannings to come there because he hasn't developed. One of
8:59
Speaker 2: two things has happened either. He sucks as a developer,
9:03
Speaker 2: which we've got a pretty long history of saying it
9:05
Speaker 2: may be him. Well, look what he did. Alabama, man,
9:08
Speaker 2: don't talk to me about Alabama. How many coordinators went
9:11
Speaker 2: through there on offense and defense that have all been
9:14
Speaker 2: head coaches now? You know, Pete Golding didn't say it
9:17
Speaker 2: was all Steven. No, great. The guy, uh, Had so
9:21
Speaker 2: much talent and was such a great coach. He made
9:24
Speaker 2: all of those people better. I don't want to hear it.
9:26
Speaker 2: But let's see what Sark does with a marquee guy
9:29
Speaker 2: that he got in there, hasn't developed at all. And
9:33
Speaker 2: I just, but that, man, that comment on, I'm going
9:37
Speaker 2: to give you a chance to change your answer. He's
9:39
Speaker 2: potentially the number one pick in the draft. But we
9:44
Speaker 2: all know he ain't playing Saturday. We don't have to wait.
9:48
Speaker 2: until Wednesday to find out, man, comment and be a,
9:52
Speaker 2: you know, be a man of character. You know, it's
9:54
Speaker 2: just the way I saw that as an opportunity to,
9:57
Speaker 2: but the way, the way he treated the reporter was,
10:00
Speaker 2: and I love that the reporter pressed right back at him. Well,
10:03
Speaker 2: he is, you know, potentially number one pick in the draft,
10:05
Speaker 2: one of the best players in the country. So I
10:07
Speaker 2: think there's people want to hear about it. Good, good
10:09
Speaker 2: for him because Sarkisian is not Nick Saban. It does
10:13
Speaker 2: not get to speak to people like that. So anyway, I,
10:18
Speaker 2: I think what I really think, and I think I
10:20
Speaker 2: posted this on X, the walls are closing in on
10:22
Speaker 2: him and he knows it. Yeah.
10:23
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. A hundred percent. A couple more things on this.
10:27
Speaker 1: We need, I watch a lot of hockey. I'm going
10:31
Speaker 1: to get any hockey lovers out there. Hit me up.
10:33
Speaker 1: I'm down with some hockey. A couple of things.
10:38
Speaker 2: Officiating.
10:39
Speaker 1: If we're going to go to a 2014 playoff, which
10:42
Speaker 1: I am not against. Okay. I will say this. I just,
10:45
Speaker 1: For my whole lifetime, I got told about the bowls.
10:48
Speaker 1: I got told that it was too taxing on their schedule.
10:50
Speaker 1: And then one day I found out there was a
10:52
Speaker 1: whole other league of football that had the playoffs. Who
10:55
Speaker 1: knew that that could happen? And it could happen so successfully.
10:58
Speaker 1: And then we've had all these ridiculous things. And so
11:00
Speaker 1: now it came down to, again, like you and I,
11:03
Speaker 1: it's a made-for-TV product. Hence the fact that ESPN was
11:08
Speaker 1: the major part of the negotiation of where they're going
11:10
Speaker 1: to get that. Now, what's going to happen to the
11:12
Speaker 1: Pop-Tart Bowl? I don't know because it's by far the
11:15
Speaker 1: best game that you're going to get that's not part
11:17
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. But if we're going to go to
11:19
Speaker 1: this level, we need to do one more thing, too.
11:22
Speaker 1: The fact that the last weekend was the first time
11:25
Speaker 1: I saw the ACC, I think the Big 12, and
11:29
Speaker 1: I think the Big 10, but not the SEC, were
11:33
Speaker 1: allowing you to hear the officials talking about the replay. Okay?
11:38
Speaker 1: And the transparency– needs to go on. It's better that
11:43
Speaker 1: way or they need to send everything to one spot
11:46
Speaker 1: and you've got the same group of people that are
11:49
Speaker 1: making the decision because it's across the board. Because we've
11:51
Speaker 1: now seen several games this year that have ended that
11:56
Speaker 1: in the end of balance, there were plays taking place
11:59
Speaker 1: that couldn't put more time on the clock and have
12:02
Speaker 1: changed the outcome.
12:04
Speaker 2: And like the BYU game, which that's one you're clearly
12:07
Speaker 2: talking about this weekend, it That's simply because they let
12:11
Speaker 2: them storm the field. Okay. All right. So you made
12:14
Speaker 2: that decision as an official. Then that means your conference
12:18
Speaker 2: needs to fine your ass. And I don't mean like
12:22
Speaker 2: a little fine. I don't mean a half million dollars
12:25
Speaker 2: like the normal fine is in the SEC. I mean
12:28
Speaker 2: two or three million dollars because it's too important. It's
12:33
Speaker 2: too important to let those people rush the field before
12:36
Speaker 2: the ball game's over. I don't even care if you
12:38
Speaker 2: want to let them on the– look, man, I did
12:40
Speaker 2: it when I was in college. You know, you– It's
12:43
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. Kids are going to be kids.
12:46
Speaker 2: It's part of, to me, the college experience. Two things
12:50
Speaker 2: need to happen. We need to make sure that they're
12:52
Speaker 2: not on the field before we finish the game. And second,
12:55
Speaker 2: that they are not up in opposing players' faces. That
12:59
Speaker 2: deal at the University of Texas, which has now come out,
13:01
Speaker 2: that kid had nothing to do. Supposedly went to another
13:04
Speaker 2: school in Florida. and how he gets on the field,
13:07
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody knows. But shoot that kid, the bird.
13:12
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what he needed. He needed one
13:15
Speaker 2: of those Florida players to come over and punch him
13:17
Speaker 2: right in the damn face. That's what he needed. Kids
13:20
Speaker 2: don't get their ass kicked enough. That's one of the
13:22
Speaker 2: main things that's wrong with America because you won't act
13:24
Speaker 2: like that. We'd have gotten hit in the face. And
13:29
Speaker 2: that's what that kid deserved. And to walk around and
13:32
Speaker 2: be doing that, knowing the players can't do anything. A,
13:35
Speaker 2: you're a coward. And if you're listening or if anybody
13:38
Speaker 2: listens that knows him, you send him that he's a
13:40
Speaker 2: coward because he is a coward. There ain't any way
13:43
Speaker 2: he'd do that to their face without them there. And second,
13:50
Speaker 2: we've got to make sure we finish games. Can't have
13:53
Speaker 2: the players where they're put in a poor position because
13:57
Speaker 2: people are idiots, especially when they've been drinking. And then
13:59
Speaker 2: we've got to be able to finish football games in
14:01
Speaker 2: a timely manner. Kudos to Michigan, even though they shouldn't
14:04
Speaker 2: have had a play in that ballgame. At least they
14:07
Speaker 2: could run it. They did something right.
14:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's– I don't know, man. We're in an interesting
14:13
Speaker 1: spot in the game. I mean, and so– and I'll
14:15
Speaker 1: throw this out there. In another where I'm going with
14:17
Speaker 1: the 24, we've been talking about this, and I'm not
14:19
Speaker 1: going to harp on this because I don't really care
14:20
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I want more competitive games
14:23
Speaker 1: that we can wager on, and that's all I care about.
14:26
Speaker 1: I mean, people ask me anymore. I don't hate teams
14:29
Speaker 1: as much as like I used to.
14:31
Speaker 2: I just do.
14:32
Speaker 1: I enjoy the game. I literally turn it on, and
14:34
Speaker 1: I'm like, here's what we're cheering for or if we're
14:36
Speaker 1: not cheering for it. But I kind of just got
14:38
Speaker 1: to where I enjoy the sport for the game itself
14:40
Speaker 1: at this point. And so I'm not upset on Tuesday
14:45
Speaker 1: when we lose on Saturday. I know a lot of
14:46
Speaker 1: people are, but that's not me anymore. And it's not
14:49
Speaker 1: because I matured because I'm a degenerate idiot. And so,
14:53
Speaker 1: I mean, trust me, it's like I can have as
14:54
Speaker 1: much fun as the next guy, but it's just that
14:57
Speaker 1: the game has evolved a lot. And so the 24
15:00
Speaker 1: is fine if we're going to do that. But we've
15:03
Speaker 1: got to get some standardization in the officiating. Because here's
15:06
Speaker 1: the other thing. There's not– what is it? There's not 1,700
15:12
Speaker 1: Division I football players in the United States that are
15:14
Speaker 1: that good between 24 teams. And so these teams do
15:19
Speaker 1: not have the depth. And you're about to start seeing
15:22
Speaker 1: it real big. Like they keep talking about is an
15:25
Speaker 1: SEC team going to get in with three losses. The
15:27
Speaker 1: answer is probably yes this year. For sure. If not,
15:32
Speaker 1: they're really fucked because you can't fill a 24– With
15:39
Speaker 1: a JMU– Oregon State may end up being 11-1 or 10-2. Right.
15:46
Speaker 1: And you can't finish the season and think people are
15:50
Speaker 1: going to want to turn that stuff on. So there's
15:52
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting things that are going to go on.
15:54
Speaker 1: I'm more for competitive football. And I'll throw this one
15:57
Speaker 1: last thing out there. Man, if you were waiting on
15:59
Speaker 1: a quarterback to draft this year to help rebuild your franchise, bro,
16:04
Speaker 1: you are going to be out of O-job come next
16:07
Speaker 1: year because– The quarterback crop coming in, I mean, Trinidad Chambliss,
16:11
Speaker 1: is he great? Yeah, he's 5'11. So he's going to
16:13
Speaker 1: look like Kyler Murray standing on the field out there.
16:16
Speaker 1: You don't realize how small he is because he takes
16:19
Speaker 1: every snap seven yards deep. Whereas you get under center
16:22
Speaker 1: at 5'11, you're a small man. And so you've got.
16:26
Speaker 2: And you get seven yards deep in the NFL and
16:28
Speaker 2: these gazelles at end are back there on you before
16:31
Speaker 2: you get a chance to do anything.
16:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so– It's a different game. I mean, and
16:35
Speaker 1: like you said, Sam Levitt, who I think is– I
16:37
Speaker 1: think Sam Levitt's fun to watch. I think the dude's
16:40
Speaker 1: got some grit. I mean, he's got a little too
16:42
Speaker 1: much Brett Favre in him. In a sense, like he's
16:45
Speaker 1: convinced he can win the game.
16:47
Speaker 2: But then you're starting to see– He's not accurate enough
16:49
Speaker 2: with the football for me. No, totally not.
16:51
Speaker 1: But you're starting to see some QBs mature. The lagway
16:54
Speaker 1: kid at Baylor, terrible game last week. Apparently, TCU's entire
16:58
Speaker 1: goal is to slow the game down to a point
17:01
Speaker 1: that it just– retards the other team's offense to death
17:04
Speaker 1: because it's so slow and so boring. No one can
17:09
Speaker 1: get any more. They still haven't scored, dude. They're averaging
17:13
Speaker 1: like 14, 15 points a game. And this week will
17:17
Speaker 1: be interesting. They're about to play Rich Rod and Michael Hawkins.
17:20
Speaker 1: And you don't know what you're going to get from
17:22
Speaker 1: those guys. They may run for four and then he'll
17:24
Speaker 1: throw for four. You have no idea. And so I
17:27
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm fascinated with it. The game is interesting.
17:30
Speaker 1: You got great stories. UCLA, holy ding dong. These guys
17:35
Speaker 1: are trending towards a big championship.
17:37
Speaker 2: One of the best coaches in America.
17:39
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, again, Sunbelt Billy, he may have just
17:43
Speaker 1: gone to JMU, bathed himself. Go Dukes, baby, and just
17:47
Speaker 1: get it done.
17:48
Speaker 2: Why don't Coach Nick say that when you can just
17:50
Speaker 2: go coach at JMU? Just go coach at JMU. Nothing
17:54
Speaker 2: in the water is going to help. Sunbelt, Billy. I
17:56
Speaker 2: agree with you about the officiating. We need more transparency.
18:01
Speaker 2: Zero doubt about it. Next to impossible to argue. My
18:04
Speaker 2: only thing on 24 is I'm coming around to your
18:08
Speaker 2: point of view. Do I think that it does lessen
18:13
Speaker 2: the regular season 100%? But most people are like me
18:17
Speaker 2: and you. They're more worried about gambling and watching good
18:19
Speaker 2: football games. They don't really care. I'll tell you how
18:22
Speaker 2: much college football's changed. My ass is going to be
18:26
Speaker 2: cheering for the Rebels on Saturday. That's how unlikable the
18:32
Speaker 2: Longhorns are to me. That's how unlikable. That's something that
18:35
Speaker 2: I would have never uttered for decades has officially left
18:40
Speaker 2: my mouth. I will cheer for the Ole Miss Rebels
18:43
Speaker 2: because it's hard to explain how much more likable. Look,
18:47
Speaker 2: Pete Golding is like a dude you went to college with.
18:51
Speaker 2: He looks like Your buddy you hadn't seen in a
18:54
Speaker 2: few weeks. He looks like he ought to be at
18:57
Speaker 2: a Grove tailgate with his visor on and salt and
19:02
Speaker 2: pepper hair and a little bit of a belly. He
19:06
Speaker 2: looks like an Ole Miss frat guy 30 years later.
19:09
Speaker 2: That's exactly what he looks like.
19:11
Speaker 1: And he sounds like it. He sounds like he came
19:14
Speaker 1: out of the Grove, put his headset on, and just like,
19:17
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go.
19:20
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, I'm not ripping on that. Look, I
19:24
Speaker 2: think I've said this about Jeff Levy. He's the most
19:25
Speaker 2: likable guy in my lifetime that's been in that job
19:30
Speaker 2: at Mississippi State. I also will tell you the two
19:33
Speaker 2: most arrogant guys that have ever been in that And
19:38
Speaker 2: that seat are the two most successful guys that have
19:40
Speaker 2: been in that seat. So maybe it needs to be
19:42
Speaker 2: a little more arrogant, less nice. But it is a
19:44
Speaker 2: different age. Some of these guys are actually beginning to engage.
19:48
Speaker 2: And I think you're seeing them. make a difference. And
19:50
Speaker 2: you look at Bob Chesney. That guy's a likable guy.
19:54
Speaker 2: It's the, man, the days of the drill sergeant and
19:58
Speaker 2: grinding them. And man, you better be a likable. It
20:02
Speaker 2: doesn't work. I mean, you better be relatable to these
20:05
Speaker 2: kids and you better be able to illustrate for them
20:08
Speaker 2: how you're going to get them to their goals and
20:12
Speaker 2: how the team is going to get them their goals
20:16
Speaker 2: and how the two work together. And that is a
20:19
Speaker 2: gigantic difference. It always was team first, individual second. That
20:25
Speaker 2: ain't how it works now. It's individual first and how
20:27
Speaker 2: you're going to get the team to that matter. And
20:30
Speaker 2: the Texas Longhorns are no bigger example because if Arch
20:33
Speaker 2: Manning's last name was Denson, he would have already been
20:36
Speaker 2: benched and probably would have been benched last year and
20:40
Speaker 2: would have been fighting for his job again this year.
20:43
Speaker 2: Or he may not even have started last year because
20:45
Speaker 2: he would have been still developing as a player.
20:47
Speaker 1: So.
20:50
Speaker 2: That is a prime example of itself. How do you
20:52
Speaker 2: mix those two? And right now, it's not working in Austin.
20:58
Speaker 2: They have too much talent to have lost these games.
21:02
Speaker 1: It's the most expensive roster in the country, and they're
21:06
Speaker 1: going to miss the playoffs again. Ohio State may not
21:09
Speaker 1: be far behind him. Like, if you're Jeremiah Smith right now,
21:11
Speaker 1: you're like, man, I'm probably not going to win the Heisman.
21:14
Speaker 1: Because if you're playing them, you just double him up.
21:16
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you'd be doing.
21:17
Speaker 2: But anyway. Well, especially now. Especially you are. But, Mark,
21:21
Speaker 2: before we get off of them, I don't think people realize, like,
21:27
Speaker 2: what we have coming up. Like, what the Longhorns have left.
21:31
Speaker 2: They got– because they're in the midst of a three-game homestand.
21:36
Speaker 2: They just lost the first one. And the whole month
21:40
Speaker 2: of October, they never leave the state of Texas because
21:42
Speaker 2: they were in Dallas. They lost that game. They just
21:46
Speaker 2: lost at home. And you got the Ole Miss Rebels
21:48
Speaker 2: coming to town. And then you got Mississippi State coming back.
21:53
Speaker 2: Camario Taylor's back. They for sure got an opportunity to
21:57
Speaker 2: win that game. And then they're at Missouri, at LSU,
22:01
Speaker 2: Arkansas at home, at A & M. I would tell
22:04
Speaker 2: you it's an uphill battle for those guys to make
22:07
Speaker 2: the playoff at this point. Oh, 100%. I think the
22:11
Speaker 2: only way you could guarantee that they're going to make
22:13
Speaker 2: the playoff at this point is if 8-4 gets them in,
22:18
Speaker 2: and there ain't no way 8-4 gets them in. There
22:21
Speaker 2: ain't no way. Because the best thing that's going to
22:23
Speaker 2: be on their resume is that Ohio State. But what's
22:27
Speaker 2: that Ohio State win going to mean? That saying's out.
22:30
Speaker 2: How much are they going to win coming down the stretch?
22:33
Speaker 2: Who knows? There's a lot going on. This is exciting.
22:37
Speaker 2: The good part about college sports, well, I think the
22:39
Speaker 2: quality of play is way down, and I do. I
22:41
Speaker 2: think the quality of the play is terrible. I don't
22:46
Speaker 2: think these teams are nearly as good as they used
22:47
Speaker 2: to be. Boy, anybody can beat anybody. And you get
22:53
Speaker 2: wild swings and performance. I mean, just wild swings and performance.
22:57
Speaker 2: Last thing before we get to this week, how about
22:59
Speaker 2: my man John Sumrall mid-game just basically saying, to hell
23:03
Speaker 2: with it. We're getting after that ass. We're going to
23:06
Speaker 2: go after the quarterback. Just scratches their game plan mid-second quarter,
23:10
Speaker 2: and it worked. I mean, that is so awesome.
23:13
Speaker 1: I think he was so frustrated from the last couple
23:15
Speaker 1: of weeks that he was like, I'm not, I can't
23:18
Speaker 1: lose again. I'm not doing this. And so I just
23:20
Speaker 1: love it.
23:21
Speaker 2: I just look, man, do everything you can to win
23:23
Speaker 2: the ball game. You know, it's, it was, it was,
23:27
Speaker 2: So much to love about last week. The excitement, just
23:30
Speaker 2: flipping on the game and watching upset after upset. And
23:33
Speaker 2: really what it was was just wild performance after wild performance.
23:37
Speaker 2: I mean, Ole Miss was obviously favored at home, but
23:41
Speaker 2: the way they drilled Missouri was completely unexpected. So just
23:47
Speaker 2: last week was just full of, wow, what's going to
23:50
Speaker 2: happen next moments. And Miami and Florida State really kind
23:55
Speaker 2: of brought it all to a head. Like, I mean,
23:57
Speaker 2: the Hail Mary and everybody. I mean, I was openly yelling.
24:01
Speaker 2: And then you're like, oh, that's the worst call ever.
24:04
Speaker 2: You know, you're like, that is terrible. I'm like, come on.
24:07
Speaker 2: And then it hits that kid's hands. I thought he, because,
24:10
Speaker 2: you know, in the scrum, I'm waiting to see who's
24:12
Speaker 2: coming out of it with the ball. I'm like, they
24:14
Speaker 2: did it again. I mean, and then you realize what
24:17
Speaker 2: happened is they did do it again. And the Miami D.B.
24:19
Speaker 2: just took it from him as they were going to
24:21
Speaker 2: the ground. What an ending to a game. What an
24:23
Speaker 2: ending to a great weekend. But here we go, baby.
24:26
Speaker 2: Let's move on to this week.
24:28
Speaker 1: Let's do it all over again. Pretty good week last week.
24:31
Speaker 1: Voided some of the funniness of it. We'll try to
24:33
Speaker 1: get through another one. One last thing. Pour a little out.
24:38
Speaker 1: Rest in peace for any of y'all that grew up
24:40
Speaker 1: watching football in the 90s. Chuck the Breastamato passed away
24:44
Speaker 1: this week at 80 years old. If you don't know
24:47
Speaker 1: Chuck the Breast, you can literally just go Google Chuck
24:50
Speaker 1: the Breast. And you'll see him pop up. Love that guy.
24:53
Speaker 1: He had some great sound bites. He was with Bobby
24:55
Speaker 1: Bowden for years before he went to NC State. Old school,
24:59
Speaker 1: great football coach. Pour a little out for him. Let's
25:01
Speaker 1: see if we can get some wins. All right, Scotty,
25:04
Speaker 1: we're recording this on Wednesday. I don't know if anybody's
25:05
Speaker 1: going to get a chance to listen to it. Sam
25:07
Speaker 1: and New Mexico State playing again. I want to take Sam.
25:11
Speaker 1: Every time I take them, I lose. I'm not taking Sam.
25:14
Speaker 1: They're currently on the no bet list for me. I'm
25:16
Speaker 1: out on that. And I've got a good friend whose
25:18
Speaker 1: son plays. I'm cheering for him. Get it done, boys.
25:22
Speaker 1: Let's go, Bearcats. Scratch them up. I can't bet this
25:24
Speaker 1: team anymore. Thursday night, Sunbelt Billy traveling to Boone to
25:29
Speaker 1: get it going. Ten and a half is the line here.
25:32
Speaker 1: Appy State at home over-unders 56 and a half. I'll
25:37
Speaker 1: tell you what, man. Thursday night, there's some pretty decent
25:41
Speaker 1: games in the southeastern corridor you've got from that. I
25:44
Speaker 1: can get down with some happy plus 10.5 here. I
25:46
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm totally involved in this spot, but
25:49
Speaker 1: if I were going to play this game, that's where
25:50
Speaker 1: I would go. Next one, you've got Liberty and Kennesaw.
25:55
Speaker 1: Liberty laying 10. Liberty might be a little bit of
25:58
Speaker 1: a wagon this year. Over under here is 15.5. Last game,
26:03
Speaker 1: East Carolina plus 10 at Memphis. East Carolina is getting
26:08
Speaker 1: a lot of love in this one. Scott, any of
26:11
Speaker 1: those games on Thursday, you got your eye on any
26:13
Speaker 1: of them?
26:14
Speaker 2: Give me the flames, baby. I like this game. I
26:17
Speaker 2: think this is actually a pretty good opportunity to win
26:20
Speaker 2: some games. I'm owning this already. Can't wait for Thursday night, baby.
26:24
Speaker 2: I just don't think– Kennesaw last year was actually a really,
26:27
Speaker 2: really talented team. Got riddled a little bit in the portal,
26:30
Speaker 2: which is going to happen when you're a startup Division
26:33
Speaker 2: I team. But I like Liberty here. I don't think–
26:37
Speaker 2: you know, the coach was so sick. Was it Chadwell?
26:40
Speaker 2: Jamie Chadwell was so sick last year and just went
26:44
Speaker 2: through some issues. A, they look to be back, and
26:48
Speaker 2: he looks to be back, the coach that got him
26:51
Speaker 2: this job at Coastal Carolina. I think this is a
26:55
Speaker 2: team that's playing really, really well this year. Give me
26:58
Speaker 2: the Flames.
26:59
Speaker 1: I'll ride with you on the Flames. Laying 10 on
27:01
Speaker 1: the Flames. First bet on the board. Let's get that going.
27:03
Speaker 1: Kennesaw State's kind of been on the slide. They've lost
27:06
Speaker 1: five in a row. They've covered three times, but a
27:10
Speaker 1: huge number they were catching against Tennessee. Arkansas State was
27:13
Speaker 1: kind of a backdoor deal. Jacksonville State, they're just not
27:16
Speaker 1: very good this year. Give me the Flames. I'll roll
27:18
Speaker 1: with you. Friday night, you've got a couple games. I've
27:20
Speaker 1: already got one in pocket. Let's get this going. Army
27:23
Speaker 1: Black Knights playing the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Tulsa's D-line is
27:27
Speaker 1: still pretty solid, man. They've got a couple of NFL
27:31
Speaker 1: players on there laying one and a half. I got
27:33
Speaker 1: the money line at minus 120. Give me Tulsa. This
27:36
Speaker 1: will be the third option team in a row that
27:40
Speaker 1: Tulsa will have played. They have played Navy. They have
27:42
Speaker 1: played Rice. And now they're back here. They're at home
27:46
Speaker 1: for this one. Army, to me, has not been... army
27:50
Speaker 1: of old. And I say that last week and the
27:51
Speaker 1: backup quarterback came up and blew the doors off of it.
27:55
Speaker 1: So I could be holding the dead ass loser in
27:57
Speaker 1: this spot, but I like the cane. I like the
27:59
Speaker 1: golden hurricanes just to win, not lay one and a half,
28:02
Speaker 1: but the, where this game is interesting to me though,
28:05
Speaker 1: is the totals 54 and a half. That's a big
28:08
Speaker 1: number for a service Academy game. And so I'm going
28:11
Speaker 1: to lean with Tulsa, get it going on that one.
28:14
Speaker 1: Only other two games of interest to me, Duke and Virginia.
28:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:18
Speaker 1: Virginia, to me, man, this has been a physical squad.
28:21
Speaker 1: The betting against Manny Diaz, I don't do well when
28:24
Speaker 1: I got that. Do you have anything in pocket in
28:26
Speaker 1: that one?
28:27
Speaker 2: I do not, but if I do, I'm taking Duke.
28:30
Speaker 2: That is the bottom line. They lost last week, and
28:33
Speaker 2: I think that's the reason this line is the way
28:35
Speaker 2: it is. But I'm with you. Every time I feel
28:38
Speaker 2: like I've got to read on this team, they jump
28:40
Speaker 2: up and do something they shouldn't do.
28:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so, I mean, the only other game you've
28:44
Speaker 1: got Stanford at home playing NC State, you've got that
28:48
Speaker 1: three-time zone travel rule. If you want to lay it,
28:52
Speaker 1: but getting six and a half with Stanford, if you
28:55
Speaker 1: haven't laid your eyeballs on Stanford football this year, it
28:58
Speaker 1: is not a pretty watch. So I don't know if
29:01
Speaker 1: I would get it, but I would lean to Stanford
29:03
Speaker 1: getting six and a half, maybe getting seven, purely on
29:05
Speaker 1: a time zone game. Let's jump into some fun stuff here.
29:09
Speaker 1: Jordan-Harris Stadium, LSU. Going down to play the other Tigers
29:14
Speaker 1: of Auburn in this one. Line here's at seven.
29:16
Speaker 2: And a half.
29:17
Speaker 1: Not moving. Not moving, Scotty. Everybody got to see Auburn
29:20
Speaker 1: last week. And people don't realize, if you're not from
29:23
Speaker 1: the south, how much Auburn hates Georgia. Like, everybody thinks
29:28
Speaker 1: it's Auburn, Alabama. They hate Georgia. Most Auburn fans actually
29:32
Speaker 1: dislike Georgia fans way worse than they dislike Alabama fans.
29:36
Speaker 1: Last week's win was a huge win for the Auburn program.
29:40
Speaker 1: you got an lsu team that's coming down here both
29:43
Speaker 1: these teams have similar records uh five and two at
29:46
Speaker 1: lsu four and two at auburn that's a gross four
29:48
Speaker 1: and two but lsu is a is in a must
29:51
Speaker 1: win spot if they're in any chance that they've got
29:54
Speaker 1: can make a run to get to the playoffs this
29:55
Speaker 1: year they have to win this game i just don't
29:58
Speaker 1: know if If I want to lay seven and a
30:00
Speaker 1: half with LSU, I would actually probably trend to the
30:03
Speaker 1: under in this one. I may just be watching this
30:05
Speaker 1: one on the sideline, but I think the LSU defense
30:08
Speaker 1: is going to give this Auburn offense all kinds of problems.
30:11
Speaker 2: Every time I think of this game, I think back
30:13
Speaker 2: to the Jamie Howard game in the mid-90s when he
30:17
Speaker 2: threw six picks against Auburn.
30:21
Speaker 1: LSU love hates that guy, by the way. I mean,
30:24
Speaker 1: they love and they hate that guy so much.
30:28
Speaker 2: So that is what always comes to my mind. And, look,
30:31
Speaker 2: it's happened a couple of other times. There's been Auburn
30:33
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that went down to Baton Rouge through a bunch
30:35
Speaker 2: of picks. There's been LSU quarterbacks that have thrown three
30:38
Speaker 2: or four picks in this game. This is always a
30:40
Speaker 2: wild game for teams that aren't rivals but obviously used
30:46
Speaker 2: to play each other all the time. I think this
30:50
Speaker 2: game– I think Auburn probably stays within this number. I
30:55
Speaker 2: think this game is closer– then I think LSU would
30:59
Speaker 2: like for it to be, but I do think they're
31:01
Speaker 2: going to figure out a way to get it done.
31:05
Speaker 2: But I do like Auburn plus the points here.
31:07
Speaker 1: Next one I've got, Texas Tech traveling to Cincinnati. This
31:11
Speaker 1: is a big game. This is a brand Sorsby game here.
31:13
Speaker 1: If you don't know the story, let me give it
31:15
Speaker 1: to you real quick. Apparently Cincinnati knew Sorsby had a
31:18
Speaker 1: little gambling issues, and then when Sorsby left to go
31:22
Speaker 1: take a bag and go be Texas Tech's quarterback, they
31:25
Speaker 1: just kind of slid that out there to anybody that
31:27
Speaker 1: might want to know. And Cody Campbell, who pretty much
31:31
Speaker 1: runs Texas Tech University, he's been all about it. Joey
31:34
Speaker 1: McGuire is his boy. He's hand-picked coach to be in
31:38
Speaker 1: this position. And Cody's been pretty vocal that he wants
31:41
Speaker 1: to do some retribution when they play Cincinnati. The only
31:45
Speaker 1: reason I might get involved in this one is because
31:47
Speaker 1: of that. Tech looked really good last week after coming
31:50
Speaker 1: off a bye. I finally started to see a little
31:51
Speaker 1: bit of leadership in this team. That defensive line is
31:54
Speaker 1: going to cause problems. As a matter of fact, give
31:57
Speaker 1: me Texas Tech. Let's buy it down to 10. I'm
31:58
Speaker 1: going to take it. Here's what we're going to do.
32:00
Speaker 1: The defensive line for Tech is going to cause all
32:03
Speaker 1: kinds of problems for the Cincinnati team. I'm just telling
32:05
Speaker 1: you right now. They're not going to be able to
32:07
Speaker 1: churn and run like they think they can, and they
32:09
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball whatsoever. And defensively, this is one
32:12
Speaker 1: of the worst defensive teams in the country, especially on
32:14
Speaker 1: the Power 5 level. Give me Texas Tech minus 10.
32:18
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to take their foot off
32:19
Speaker 1: the gas in this one. So unless they just come
32:21
Speaker 1: out tight because they're so hyped up for this one,
32:23
Speaker 1: Joey McGuire is not taking his foot off the gas
32:26
Speaker 1: in this one because the dude that signs his check,
32:28
Speaker 1: I guarantee you is going to be texting his ass
32:30
Speaker 1: like every time. You keep going. You keep going.
32:33
Speaker 2: Satterfield last week opens up the offense. They throw for
32:37
Speaker 2: almost 400 yards. And then when it matters– Now, look,
32:42
Speaker 2: I think me and you and our daughters could throw
32:45
Speaker 2: for 400 yards against that West Virginia defense. But when
32:49
Speaker 2: it matters, and there's three minutes left in the game,
32:52
Speaker 2: he's got fourth and three. And, yes, he's on his
32:54
Speaker 2: like on 35 or 40-yard line. Nobody has stopped anybody
33:00
Speaker 2: in that game. I mean, I think it was 42-42
33:03
Speaker 2: at this point. And nobody has stopped anybody, any punts. And,
33:09
Speaker 2: of course, they take it down, run out the clock,
33:12
Speaker 2: and kick a field goal to win the ball game, 45-42.
33:15
Speaker 2: Terrible decision. The only reason I go for it is
33:18
Speaker 2: because they at least can't run out the clock if
33:20
Speaker 2: they've got it at your own 35, and you'd have
33:23
Speaker 2: gotten a chance to get the ball back. At least
33:25
Speaker 2: you had a chance. The second he punted that ball game,
33:28
Speaker 2: unless West Virginia turned it over, that ball game was over.
33:32
Speaker 2: Couldn't believe he did it. Anchors hang over there. You
33:35
Speaker 2: talk to any Cincinnati fan, they are ready to fire Satterfield.
33:39
Speaker 2: They hope he's losing.
33:40
Speaker 1: They were ready to fire him last year.
33:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he won just enough to stay. And now
33:45
Speaker 2: here comes Texas Tech. So I can get behind this
33:49
Speaker 2: just because I think there may be a pretty good
33:51
Speaker 2: hangover for the Bearcats.
33:52
Speaker 1: I can lay a big number in there. Nard Dog
33:55
Speaker 1: traveling down to the Coral Gables, getting 19 and a half,
33:59
Speaker 1: 48 and a half. This would be a layup with
34:03
Speaker 1: Miami or no play. I can't bet Nard Dog anymore.
34:06
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. I mean, I want to
34:09
Speaker 1: take those points bad. I can't do it. Let's go
34:11
Speaker 1: to the next one. Michigan hosting Indiana. Is Josh Hoover hurt?
34:15
Speaker 1: Is he playing in this game? I need to get
34:17
Speaker 1: some confirmation on that. Indiana laying seven on the road
34:21
Speaker 1: at Michigan. Michigan's going to be starting cards. CJ Carr's
34:25
Speaker 1: little brother, most likely. I think the quarterback.
34:28
Speaker 2: Lloyd Carr's other grandson.
34:30
Speaker 1: Yes, is done there. You've got a Michigan team kind
34:34
Speaker 1: of like a little bit of a wounded animal trying
34:35
Speaker 1: to figure out what they're going to do, but they're
34:37
Speaker 1: still 4-2. But they are 1-5 to the under. Give
34:42
Speaker 1: me the under, baby. I think I'm going under, and
34:44
Speaker 1: this one's at 41.5. It's one of the lowest numbers
34:47
Speaker 1: on the board. I think Kyle Whittingham is not going
34:49
Speaker 1: to let himself get beat having a young quarterback, and
34:52
Speaker 1: he's going to try to dial up something that's a
34:53
Speaker 1: little bit different. Plus, they don't have a lot of
34:55
Speaker 1: tape on this kid. And so you've got to wonder
34:57
Speaker 1: what they're going to do here, Indiana. And one thing
35:00
Speaker 1: with Indiana, I just finally came to the realization of
35:03
Speaker 1: it this year. They're not blowing people out. Last year,
35:05
Speaker 1: they smoked everybody. This year, I don't think they got it.
35:09
Speaker 1: Hoover's a little off. You've got Marsh and Becker are
35:13
Speaker 1: super nasty, by the way, but they can't really run
35:16
Speaker 1: the ball. And so I think that's where they're going
35:18
Speaker 1: to struggle in this one. Give me the Wolverines plus seven,
35:22
Speaker 1: but I really like the under 41 and a half.
35:24
Speaker 1: It might make me a little same game teaser. That's
35:26
Speaker 1: pretty gross, but I'm not sure I'll get there.
35:28
Speaker 2: If this follows the trend at all of what we've
35:35
Speaker 2: seen all year, Indiana's fixing to come up there and
35:37
Speaker 2: lay a turd. I mean, lay a turd. Can Cignetti
35:44
Speaker 2: overcome that is, to me, the big deal. I ain't
35:47
Speaker 2: Michigan's going to cover this line because, look, Carr is
35:51
Speaker 2: doing what I think they wanted Underwood to do. Take
35:55
Speaker 2: what's available and run when you need to. He did
35:59
Speaker 2: a great job of it Saturday. So I think this
36:03
Speaker 2: team just– look, I don't think this is not talented
36:06
Speaker 2: Michigan team. That defense is nasty. You just got to
36:10
Speaker 2: score and control the clock. And I think they may
36:13
Speaker 2: be able to do that more. Kudos to Underwood. I
36:15
Speaker 2: was hard on him early in the year about how
36:18
Speaker 2: he handled that in the press conference and all of that.
36:21
Speaker 2: Then he came out and played really well leading into
36:24
Speaker 2: the next ball game. Last week, when they pull him
36:28
Speaker 2: and they score that first touchdown, the first dude on
36:33
Speaker 2: the field congratulating Carr was Underwood. Kudos to him. That's
36:37
Speaker 2: how you handle it in an environment where it's me, me, me, me, me.
36:41
Speaker 2: And a dude's getting paid all kinds of NIL money.
36:44
Speaker 2: That kid was out there cheering on the guy who
36:46
Speaker 2: just replaced him. Kudos to that young man.
36:50
Speaker 1: A couple of games, TCU's laying 10 at home against
36:53
Speaker 1: West Virginia. That line stinks to heaven. I would probably
36:57
Speaker 1: lean to West Virginia, but their defense is so bad
37:00
Speaker 1: that it might allow TCU to score more than 15 points.
37:04
Speaker 1: So I, I may have to find a TCU team
37:06
Speaker 1: total over and see if I can get involved in that.
37:09
Speaker 1: If it's over 21 and a half, I may get involved,
37:12
Speaker 1: but I'll let you know. Moving on, Scotty. Western Michigan
37:16
Speaker 1: at Toledo, baby. Toledo laying three at home. You got
37:20
Speaker 1: a little Mac shit on here?
37:22
Speaker 2: Two best teams in the Mac. Of course we got
37:24
Speaker 2: to talk about it. I mean, come on. Look, I
37:27
Speaker 2: have felt all year long like Western Michigan was the
37:30
Speaker 2: best team in the league. They've let me down a
37:31
Speaker 2: little bit with their play, have not looked as crisp. Toledo,
37:35
Speaker 2: just the opposite, has looked phenomenal all year long. I mean,
37:40
Speaker 2: it's played really, really well, but I like the three
37:42
Speaker 2: and a half. I think this is going to be
37:44
Speaker 2: a hard-fought game. Give me the points for the two
37:47
Speaker 2: best teams in the MAAC. I'll take the underdog Western Michigan,
37:50
Speaker 2: plus three and a half, although I think Toledo is
37:53
Speaker 2: a really, really good football team.
37:55
Speaker 1: Next one I got, Scotty, the Ducks. Traveling time zones, baby.
37:59
Speaker 1: Going to see big Bert Bielema. Bert getting nine and
38:02
Speaker 1: a half at home. Over under here is 50. This
38:05
Speaker 1: Illinois team can put up some digits, man. If you
38:07
Speaker 1: haven't watched them play, this is a little bit different
38:09
Speaker 1: squad than what we're used to seeing from Bert. Oregon
38:12
Speaker 1: is a mess, an absolute mess. And I like Dan
38:16
Speaker 1: Lanning a lot, but I think this squad is off
38:18
Speaker 1: the rails, and I think they kind of know it.
38:20
Speaker 1: Because you've got to look at this team. Everybody came back.
38:22
Speaker 1: We heard about Dante. We heard about Rashada. I mean,
38:25
Speaker 1: not Rashad. Dylan Riola is a backup. I mean, we've
38:28
Speaker 1: got defensive linemen on our ass. We've got wide receivers everywhere.
38:32
Speaker 1: They just can't perform. And you've got to wonder how
38:35
Speaker 1: pear-shaped it's getting around there. They're rolling in. They're traveling
38:38
Speaker 1: across two time zones to play an Illinois team that
38:41
Speaker 1: can put up some points. They're scoring 31 a game.
38:44
Speaker 1: Illinois' defense is not very good. They are giving up
38:47
Speaker 1: a lot of points. I think this is going to
38:48
Speaker 1: be a shootout. Give me plus nine and a half.
38:50
Speaker 1: I'll take the fight in the line out here.
38:52
Speaker 2: I kind of like fighting Burt Villamas here, mainly because
38:55
Speaker 2: you've got a long travel day, and this is a
38:58
Speaker 2: team not playing well.
38:59
Speaker 1: Don't have quarterback.
39:01
Speaker 2: And that's a lot of points. Could you see Burt
39:05
Speaker 2: with an upset?
39:06
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Fucking stinky-ass upset. Plus three to one? Hell yes.
39:11
Speaker 1: Don't think I'll have some money on that.
39:13
Speaker 2: Love it.
39:14
Speaker 1: Texas A & M getting 14, traveling to Tuscaloosa. Over
39:18
Speaker 1: under here is 50 and a half. I got a
39:21
Speaker 1: feeling that everybody is going to bet Bama like they
39:24
Speaker 1: know the outcome of this game. And this just seems
39:27
Speaker 1: like one of those disgustingly gross games. that you're going
39:30
Speaker 1: to look up at A & M will have never
39:32
Speaker 1: been in the game and somehow they're going to cover.
39:34
Speaker 1: It's going to be like 29 to 42. And somehow
39:37
Speaker 1: you lost your bet. I got no action here because
39:40
Speaker 1: I cannot trust Texas A & M to do anything.
39:43
Speaker 2: Well, you can't trust either one of these teams at
39:45
Speaker 2: this point. I mean, you know, you got Ryan Williams
39:47
Speaker 2: out or whatever his hyphenated name is now. Was it
39:50
Speaker 2: Coleman Williams? Yes. He's out. So this Bama team's beat
39:56
Speaker 2: up a little bit. Here's the deal. Alabama's going to
39:59
Speaker 2: figure out that Hill's their third best running back at
40:01
Speaker 2: some point, and he can't hold on to the football.
40:03
Speaker 2: I mean, he may get DeBow or fired. I mean,
40:08
Speaker 2: the kid fumbles. I mean, that's the bottom line. Look,
40:10
Speaker 2: against Mississippi State, they got lucky and recovered it. But
40:13
Speaker 2: they get that turnover on that fumble to start the game.
40:16
Speaker 2: And the first play, he almost turned it right back
40:18
Speaker 2: over to them. The kid fumbles. He had a huge
40:21
Speaker 2: fumble last week in the Tennessee game. At some point,
40:25
Speaker 2: they're going to figure out that the two freshmen are
40:27
Speaker 2: the two dudes, and they need to put him in
40:30
Speaker 2: when they need pass pro, and that's it. So, the
40:32
Speaker 2: bottom line is, I don't trust he's one of these
40:34
Speaker 2: two teams. I think Bama's talented. I think they're a really,
40:37
Speaker 2: really talented football team. But there is a disconnect. There
40:42
Speaker 2: is a disconnect with this coaching staff and the kids
40:46
Speaker 2: that he's– I guess that he's being forced to recruit. Or,
40:50
Speaker 2: you know, the kids that are in the southeast or
40:52
Speaker 2: whatever it is. But the bowler doesn't look like he's
40:54
Speaker 2: having any fun. I can't believe he got a contract extension.
41:00
Speaker 2: And I like Jeff– I like Greg Byrne. But, whew,
41:03
Speaker 2: that may be an expensive contract because– Bama fans are
41:08
Speaker 2: going to lose their mind.
41:10
Speaker 1: If they lose here.
41:11
Speaker 2: If they lose another game or two. And look, when
41:13
Speaker 2: they play LSU, Tredary's Green's back.
41:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
41:18
Speaker 2: Or Tredary's Green, or whatever his name is, is back.
41:21
Speaker 2: And that's a different football team when that cat's there.
41:24
Speaker 2: I agree. Because he can get open. So it's going
41:27
Speaker 2: to be interesting to see. Because that LSU team, and look,
41:30
Speaker 2: that quarterback continues to get better. Say what you want
41:34
Speaker 2: about Kiffin and as flawed as he is. He is
41:37
Speaker 2: a good football coach. On a side note, did you
41:40
Speaker 2: see the letter that's bouncing around the Internet about Lane
41:44
Speaker 2: Kiffin that supposedly said there's no way this is real,
41:47
Speaker 2: but whoever made it is fabulous. But I really hope
41:50
Speaker 2: that the Auburn president did say it basically about he's
41:53
Speaker 2: asking all the sorority girls to watch out for themselves.
41:57
Speaker 2: There's a guy come to town that likes to prey
41:59
Speaker 2: upon girls.
42:01
Speaker 1: Oh, that's rough.
42:02
Speaker 2: It is fabulous. Check my Twitter feed if you've not
42:05
Speaker 2: seen it. I've re-sent it. It is fabulous. I'm sure
42:09
Speaker 2: by now most everybody listening has seen it, but it
42:12
Speaker 2: is too awesome. No way it's accurate. No way it's
42:15
Speaker 2: not some internet dude starting it, but it's still fabulous.
42:18
Speaker 2: If I was the president of Auburn, I'd claim it
42:20
Speaker 2: and just say, well, I wasn't smart enough to think
42:22
Speaker 2: of it, but that's fabulous.
42:25
Speaker 1: Real quick, we got Sac State versus Ball State. A
42:30
Speaker 1: little crotch game here, baby. I don't know who I'm
42:33
Speaker 1: getting involved with, but Ball State, Testicle Tech is laying
42:36
Speaker 1: 14 and a half to Sac State.
42:39
Speaker 2: They're at home, right?
42:40
Speaker 1: They're at home. Again, I do not know where I'm
42:43
Speaker 1: going to get involved in this. I just want to
42:45
Speaker 1: bring up that there is a game between Ball State
42:48
Speaker 1: and Sac State. The battle for your crotch right here, baby.
42:52
Speaker 1: Moving on. I would take Buffalo minus three against Bowling Green.
42:56
Speaker 1: Bowling Green's terrible, but I'm not going to bet that game.
42:59
Speaker 1: Here's the one I like. BYU's traveling all the way
43:01
Speaker 1: to Orlando to play UCF. They're laying six and a
43:05
Speaker 1: half on the road. Very low total, 43 and a half.
43:08
Speaker 1: I kind of lean towards the Knights here.
43:12
Speaker 2: Oh, I like the Knights here. It's just what I
43:15
Speaker 2: said about if this follows trend, BYU is fixing to
43:19
Speaker 2: lay a turn. Oh, and they're flying all the way
43:21
Speaker 2: across the country to go do it and play it
43:23
Speaker 2: in the middle of the afternoon? They're playing it like noon,
43:26
Speaker 2: body clock time, or something like that. This is an
43:30
Speaker 2: early game. Do I wish it was an early game? 100%.
43:34
Speaker 2: But I still like UCF. Look, they performed exactly like
43:37
Speaker 2: I expected them to against Houston and then backed it
43:40
Speaker 2: up against Oklahoma State. Boy, what a moment for Scott Frost.
43:46
Speaker 2: if he can figure out how to get this done.
43:48
Speaker 2: Not only do I think that they cover, I think
43:50
Speaker 2: they are a live dog.
43:52
Speaker 1: Now we're going to match them up with Burt Bielema.
43:55
Speaker 1: Now we're getting somewhere. I like everything about this. Next
43:58
Speaker 1: one we've got, I've got another one for you. I'm
43:59
Speaker 1: about to throw it right in your face hole. Iowa
44:02
Speaker 1: going to play Minnesota. Minnesota getting six and a half
44:06
Speaker 1: at home. Iowa has announced the quarterback's going to play here.
44:09
Speaker 1: Minnesota coming off of a loss after a bad spot
44:13
Speaker 1: for them. Lose to Purdue. But that was two weeks ago.
44:17
Speaker 1: But those were after those two huge wins for them
44:20
Speaker 1: where they beat Washington, then they beat Michigan. And you've
44:23
Speaker 1: got this one going on. This game actually has a name.
44:26
Speaker 1: This is the Florida-Rosedale game, I think. Isn't that right?
44:29
Speaker 1: The Iowa-Minnesota game where they give out the big giant pig.
44:32
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's right. Give me Minnesota and the
44:35
Speaker 1: fighting P.J. Flex plus six and a half here.
44:40
Speaker 2: I love the fight in P.J. Flex. Off week, coming back,
44:45
Speaker 2: I was at a pretty rough stretch too. I guess
44:48
Speaker 2: it's a great football game, but I'm with you. I
44:50
Speaker 2: think it's too many points. You might even consider buying
44:53
Speaker 2: the hook up here if you can. Some books will
44:56
Speaker 2: let you do that. If you can get it to seven, boy,
44:59
Speaker 2: that gives you a lot of insurance. But I do
45:02
Speaker 2: like Minnesota here. I don't think anybody in America is
45:05
Speaker 2: surprised if Minnesota gets the win. in this ballgame. This
45:09
Speaker 2: will be a hard-fought good ballgame.
45:12
Speaker 1: Oklahoma has traveled down to start Vegas for this one.
45:15
Speaker 1: OU laying four and a half on the road. Gross
45:19
Speaker 1: over under here is 44 and a half. I don't
45:22
Speaker 1: know if Camario is going to play or not, but
45:24
Speaker 1: here's where I'm at. The OU defense is legit. It's
45:27
Speaker 1: a legit unit. It's one of the best in the country.
45:30
Speaker 1: It's coached well. It's schemed well. It's given everybody they've
45:34
Speaker 1: played problems. I'm going under the total on this one.
45:37
Speaker 1: I have no idea who's going to win. I cannot
45:39
Speaker 1: see– if Camario plays, I think OU will struggle. But
45:43
Speaker 1: I think also Camario won't have seen– I don't think
45:47
Speaker 1: he's going to see this difficult of a defense to
45:49
Speaker 1: try to figure out. That's my personal opinion. And if
45:52
Speaker 1: Puckett or the backup Billy plays, I know he hasn't
45:55
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. And last week, I know it
45:57
Speaker 1: was really windy in that LSU game, and that was
46:00
Speaker 1: probably a lot of the problem with Mississippi State's very
46:03
Speaker 1: pass-heavy offense. But I just think you're going to lead
46:05
Speaker 1: to another under in this spot. I'll go under 44
46:08
Speaker 1: and a half where I like this game.
46:10
Speaker 2: There's no chance if Kamario Taylor didn't. It doesn't play
46:13
Speaker 2: that this game's going under. That's probably one of the
46:15
Speaker 2: safest bets. That state defense is not very good, but
46:18
Speaker 2: it's also not as bad as it looked against LSU because, look,
46:26
Speaker 2: Superman's sitting on the bench, and make no mistake, that's
46:29
Speaker 2: what Kamario Taylor is to this team. He makes an
46:31
Speaker 2: average team really, really talented, and he makes everybody around
46:36
Speaker 2: him better. And without him, I think that team was
46:40
Speaker 2: kind of shell shocked in what is already a very
46:42
Speaker 2: difficult environment and a difficult point in the schedule for
46:47
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. I don't think there's any chance it goes under.
46:50
Speaker 2: I think you've got to watch that. If he plays,
46:53
Speaker 2: I think it's sales over because I don't think State's
46:55
Speaker 2: defense is going to be able to slow Mateer down.
46:58
Speaker 2: I think it's a get-right game for Mateer because State
47:01
Speaker 2: likes to play bend, don't break. But he'll still do
47:04
Speaker 2: something to screw it up. That's what I'm saying. He'll
47:07
Speaker 2: still make some mistakes. So it's going to be fascinating
47:10
Speaker 2: to see how the defense for State tries to play
47:13
Speaker 2: this and what they try to do. Also, don't forget
47:16
Speaker 2: last week in that ballgame against LSU, they crossed the
47:19
Speaker 2: 55 times. I mean, they were in field goal range,
47:24
Speaker 2: I think, four, like legit field goal range four times
47:28
Speaker 2: and just couldn't close it out. Taylor gets points on
47:30
Speaker 2: the board. And they're taking some of those field goals.
47:33
Speaker 2: That ball game's a whole lot closer than that score
47:37
Speaker 2: looks if Taylor plays at all. What I'm fascinated to see,
47:40
Speaker 2: I said this, I said this to anybody that was
47:43
Speaker 2: involved with Mississippi State that had ears, there was no
47:45
Speaker 2: chance I would have played Taylor or Fluff Bothwell last week.
47:49
Speaker 2: They did not. Now comes the question of your season
47:52
Speaker 2: if your Mississippi State starts today. You start a five-game
47:57
Speaker 2: slate where you got a chance to win all of them.
48:01
Speaker 2: Probably only one of them are you really not competitive in.
48:05
Speaker 2: Camario Taylor's there. But if they don't play him today,
48:08
Speaker 2: they're not going to play him next week at Texas either.
48:10
Speaker 2: I think they'll rest him and bring him back for
48:12
Speaker 2: that Vandy, Auburn, Tennessee Tech Ole Miss stretch in November.
48:16
Speaker 2: So Saturday's a big game. What does Mississippi State try
48:19
Speaker 2: to do? Don't think Botwell's going to be healthy. So
48:23
Speaker 2: they're not going to have the same type of running game.
48:26
Speaker 2: So what does Mississippi State and what does Jeff Levy
48:29
Speaker 2: do with him? Because this also isn't a one-year decision.
48:33
Speaker 2: Turf Toe doesn't get better in two weeks. I mean,
48:35
Speaker 2: this kid's going to have it all year. But the
48:37
Speaker 2: longer you can rest him, the better. State can win
48:40
Speaker 2: seven games. They got Vandy, Auburn, Tennessee Tech. They win
48:45
Speaker 2: seven games and be going to Oxford. It doesn't matter
48:47
Speaker 2: what they do the rest of the year. Yeah, it
48:49
Speaker 2: hurts their national perception, but anybody that knows what's going
48:52
Speaker 2: on with Taylor is going to realize what he's doing
48:56
Speaker 2: with his schedule this anki goes out and has a
48:58
Speaker 2: great portal year state's got a lot of people back
49:01
Speaker 2: and that can come back on this portal on this
49:03
Speaker 2: football team that matter i mean hell evans has got
49:06
Speaker 2: another year if he wants it now i think he'll
49:08
Speaker 2: go pro but you just don't know and when you
49:11
Speaker 2: have a marquee quarterback some kids might come by hell
49:14
Speaker 2: kelly jones has got another year if he wants it
49:16
Speaker 2: stunned if he comes back because he's probably a first
49:18
Speaker 2: rounder but having said all that, there's a lot of momentum.
49:22
Speaker 2: Levy's got the freedom to do whatever he wants to do.
49:25
Speaker 2: So you got to find out, have your phone in hand,
49:29
Speaker 2: find out what's going on in this ballgame Saturday. Wait
49:31
Speaker 2: and find out if Taylor's playing because that's going to
49:34
Speaker 2: affect your bet. This is an under all day long,
49:38
Speaker 2: all day long. If Taylor doesn't play. It's probably still
49:44
Speaker 2: going to go under if Taylor does, but I think
49:48
Speaker 2: they'll be able to score on these guys, which will
49:53
Speaker 2: force this Oklahoma offense to try to move football down
49:57
Speaker 2: the field.
49:59
Speaker 1: Next one I got, Scotty. South Carolina at home laying
50:02
Speaker 1: two and a half to the Tennessee Bulls after they
50:05
Speaker 1: just beat Alabama. Over under here is 50.5. This will
50:11
Speaker 1: be the stinkiest line of the week. If you've been
50:15
Speaker 1: gambling a while, I would recommend you take South Carolina
50:18
Speaker 1: either on the money line or to cover or you
50:21
Speaker 1: don't play this game at all because this line stinks
50:25
Speaker 1: and I almost will be certain I will have a
50:28
Speaker 1: ticket in my pocket for South Carolina on Saturday just
50:32
Speaker 1: because the line stinks so bad and they're not moving it,
50:34
Speaker 1: which lets you believe that Vegas knows something, and I'm
50:38
Speaker 1: not saying it's fixed. I'm just telling you, those dudes
50:41
Speaker 1: get dialed in, and you see these lines happen all
50:44
Speaker 1: the time. Are you involved in this at all?
50:47
Speaker 2: No, but I'll tell you something to think about. This
50:50
Speaker 2: is a road game in their eighth week of the season.
50:54
Speaker 1: That is correct.
50:54
Speaker 2: Without an off week.
50:56
Speaker 1: LSU's in the same boat. That's right.
50:59
Speaker 2: That's why this line is where it is. LSU's in
51:02
Speaker 2: the exact same boat. Both those lines, I think, are
51:05
Speaker 2: where they are. But, gosh, how is this– it just
51:09
Speaker 2: feels like this defense is– I don't think this is
51:12
Speaker 2: enough points. Auburn, it is enough points for me to
51:15
Speaker 2: get involved. I don't think this is. This defense– man,
51:18
Speaker 2: I watch Mississippi State, and that defense makes sellers look pedestrian.
51:24
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine the volunteers aren't going to be able
51:27
Speaker 2: to do it. But the difference is Taylor played great.
51:31
Speaker 2: Tennessee doesn't have a quarterback. I mean, they are banged up.
51:35
Speaker 2: This offense is very, very hard for them to stretch
51:37
Speaker 2: it out. So I will stay away from this ball game.
51:42
Speaker 2: But if you're going to take it, it does feel
51:45
Speaker 2: like South Carolina may be the way to go.
51:48
Speaker 1: You know you're going to have a ticket Saturday. UCLA
51:51
Speaker 1: laying 14 against Michigan State. I would lay it with
51:54
Speaker 1: UCLA at home. You've got a three-time zone of travel.
51:57
Speaker 1: Michigan State going all the way across the country. Michigan
51:59
Speaker 1: State's not very good. I think UCLA's got a ton
52:01
Speaker 1: of momentum. I haven't gotten involved in it yet, but
52:03
Speaker 1: I would lay the 14 there. move on down the
52:06
Speaker 1: board a couple other games. Wazoo, Boise State. Wazoo at
52:10
Speaker 1: home getting 13.5 points, but over under here is 51.5.
52:15
Speaker 1: Seeing a lot of action come in on Wazoo here.
52:19
Speaker 1: You're part of that movement, aren't you? Don't you have
52:21
Speaker 1: a little Wazoo ticket?
52:23
Speaker 2: I do like me a little Wazoo here. Look, Boise
52:26
Speaker 2: is clearly the better team, but this is a lot
52:28
Speaker 2: of points, so I like Wazoo here.
52:33
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech getting two and a half at Clemson. Big game, James.
52:38
Speaker 1: Is he going to get one done here? I mean,
52:40
Speaker 1: he's coming off a bye. Didn't he have the Cal game? Oh, no,
52:43
Speaker 1: he played Virginia Tech last week and won. That's right. Yep.
52:46
Speaker 2: Yes, I do like big game James here. I still
52:50
Speaker 2: can't get over watching some of the plays I've seen
52:54
Speaker 2: from Clemson against talented football teams. I think Franklin may
52:58
Speaker 2: get it done here.
53:00
Speaker 1: Texas, Ole Miss. Texas is at home laying three and
53:04
Speaker 1: a half against the Ole Miss Rebels. Again, another line
53:08
Speaker 1: that reeks in this spot. I think you bet– I mean,
53:13
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to handicap it. I'm just telling
53:14
Speaker 1: you it's like– it's so obvious to take Ole Miss
53:18
Speaker 1: plus three and a half that you have to bet
53:20
Speaker 1: on Texas. And I know that may not make any
53:22
Speaker 1: sense to you, but that line stinks so bad that
53:26
Speaker 1: I don't know how you cannot think, okay, something ain't right.
53:31
Speaker 2: Give me over 54.5 in this game.
53:33
Speaker 1: I can see that, yeah.
53:34
Speaker 2: Give me over 54.5. That's the way I'm going to
53:37
Speaker 2: play this game. Again, I told you I'll be– especially
53:40
Speaker 2: without Simmons, and I understand the other end is very,
53:43
Speaker 2: very good and this defense is good. But I think
53:46
Speaker 2: he is a really, really good football player. I think
53:48
Speaker 2: they're going to be able to make some things happen.
53:51
Speaker 2: But it was an emotional game for them with Lee
53:52
Speaker 2: and Simmons coming back last week in that Missouri game.
53:56
Speaker 2: Now they go on the road, but this is at
53:58
Speaker 2: Texas State. So I think they're up and they're ready.
54:01
Speaker 2: They get their best shot. I think Texas has got
54:04
Speaker 2: to start throwing the football down the field. I think
54:06
Speaker 2: we get some points in this ballgame.
54:08
Speaker 1: I actually could see that. USC laying three at Wisconsin. Again,
54:12
Speaker 1: another line that stinks. USC, this is their third trip
54:17
Speaker 1: at least to the Central Time Zone this season. They
54:20
Speaker 1: didn't look good at Rutgers. They covered at Penn State.
54:23
Speaker 1: Here we come back to a Wisconsin team that is improved.
54:28
Speaker 2: God, I'm going to do it again.
54:29
Speaker 1: Give me the Trojans.
54:31
Speaker 2: Is this his year? Is this his year? He's finally
54:35
Speaker 2: going to make the playoff and get the monkey off
54:38
Speaker 2: his back. Because if he wins this ball game. I
54:42
Speaker 2: think they're going to be in a really, really good
54:43
Speaker 2: position as they go forward. Because if they win this
54:48
Speaker 2: ball game and they don't lose any of these games because, look,
54:51
Speaker 2: they've traditionally lost them all, I think this win will
54:55
Speaker 2: take him to 500 on the time zone travel if
54:58
Speaker 2: he wins it. I think he's gotten his record to
54:59
Speaker 2: four and five at this point now. So it's been
55:02
Speaker 2: better when he played these teams. And, look, Wisconsin, I
55:09
Speaker 2: took them last week. They were awful. I mean, absolutely
55:15
Speaker 2: awful is can they string together enough to score? I
55:19
Speaker 2: think you may be right. One other thing, Mark, we
55:22
Speaker 2: were talking about lines. You got the Kentucky Wildcats hosting
55:26
Speaker 2: another eight-week team with Vandy going on the road, but
55:31
Speaker 2: the Cats have had a couple of huge wins. I
55:35
Speaker 2: still think they get it done at home.
55:39
Speaker 1: Look at that. Six and one, Kentucky.
55:43
Speaker 2: The cats, baby. Both of them are on week eight.
55:46
Speaker 2: Both of them are on week eight.
55:47
Speaker 1: Do we know if he gets an automatic extension on
55:50
Speaker 1: his contract if he wins seven games?
55:52
Speaker 2: I have no idea. But if we get an upset
55:59
Speaker 2: from Burt, he may get a contract extension, all right,
56:02
Speaker 2: right on out to damn Oregon.
56:05
Speaker 1: That may be true. I don't know. We'll see.
56:09
Speaker 2: New Mexico.
56:10
Speaker 1: North Dakota State, give me New Mexico minus four, but
56:13
Speaker 1: where I really want to go with this is I'm
56:15
Speaker 1: going to go under 41.5. New Mexico's offense is snail's pace.
56:20
Speaker 1: They've been almost a dead under all season long. This
56:23
Speaker 1: North Dakota State team is running completely out of gas.
56:28
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of games they've pulled out of
56:30
Speaker 1: their ass to get the wins to. Traveling down to
56:33
Speaker 1: New Mexico, I just don't think they have the depth
56:35
Speaker 1: to get it done here. All they can do is
56:37
Speaker 1: run the ball. They don't have any downfield passing whatsoever.
56:40
Speaker 1: The defense in New Mexico is a solid unit. Go
56:43
Speaker 1: ahead and give it to me. I mean, the New
56:44
Speaker 1: Mexico defense, both these teams defensively are giving up 11
56:47
Speaker 1: and 10 points. Okay, where are you going to get
56:50
Speaker 1: to 41? And so give me New Mexico.
56:51
Speaker 2: Both don't want to run the football.
56:53
Speaker 1: I'll take the under. Yeah, I'm taking the under. Last
56:55
Speaker 1: game I want to tell you about, it's probably a
56:56
Speaker 1: big game. A lot of people may not watch unless
56:58
Speaker 1: you just love these teams. The Cougars traveling up to
57:01
Speaker 1: Rice Eccles. Six and a half. Over-under is 56.5. Give
57:06
Speaker 1: me the Cougs plus 6.5 in this one. I'm starting
57:09
Speaker 1: to like what I see from Willie Fritz, man. I'm
57:13
Speaker 1: going to take them in the spot. This is a
57:14
Speaker 1: huge game, huge game for these teams. Winner of this
57:17
Speaker 1: game kind of puts themselves in a good position to
57:20
Speaker 1: get a chance to play in the Big 12 championship
57:22
Speaker 1: and really still leaves the door open for them to
57:24
Speaker 1: get a bid. And so I would tell you the
57:27
Speaker 1: Cougs are a live dog in this one. But getting
57:29
Speaker 1: that win against Oklahoma State, 35 to 32, was a
57:32
Speaker 1: big deal. I didn't think they were going to do it.
57:34
Speaker 1: They did. Go ahead and give me the Cougs in
57:36
Speaker 1: this spot. You interested at all with this one?
57:38
Speaker 2: I like this game. You can get me interested. Wagman
57:43
Speaker 2: is playing really well. Let me tell you what I think.
57:49
Speaker 2: Is everybody about 90 minutes up the road, which is
57:51
Speaker 2: his ass was still in College Station. That's what I think.
57:55
Speaker 2: Because if they were getting this kind of production out
57:57
Speaker 2: of their quarterback, it's a totally different season for the Aggies.
58:02
Speaker 2: The reason you can get me on board with this
58:04
Speaker 2: is I know both the quarterbacks are hanging up big
58:07
Speaker 2: numbers and they're different type players, but I'm not a
58:10
Speaker 2: huge fan. You got to know who your dude is
58:12
Speaker 2: when it matters because you're going to start getting in
58:14
Speaker 2: the games where it matters. And I think this is
58:17
Speaker 2: one of those games. I think Wegman's old enough, experienced enough.
58:20
Speaker 2: He's been through so many games and so many tough
58:23
Speaker 2: environments that going on the road to a tough environment
58:26
Speaker 2: with a good football team, he may be able to
58:28
Speaker 2: bring him out of there with a win, but certainly
58:30
Speaker 2: close enough to keep it within a touchdown. So I
58:32
Speaker 2: do like the Cougars.
58:35
Speaker 1: Oh, let's get it done, Scotty. You got an underdog
58:37
Speaker 1: parlay for me this week? I'm sure there's.
58:39
Speaker 2: Something gross in there. We can string together a bunch.
58:42
Speaker 2: I like many. I like UCF. I like– I mean, gosh,
58:48
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of teams I like. I mean, are
58:50
Speaker 2: you going to be surprised if Michigan doesn't win?
58:52
Speaker 1: No.
58:52
Speaker 2: I mean, are you going to be surprised if Virginia
58:55
Speaker 2: Tech doesn't win? I mean, there are so many ways
58:59
Speaker 2: to go on this underdog, but I think I will
59:02
Speaker 2: take– UCF, unless that's the game you want. And if
59:07
Speaker 2: you do, then I'll give you I'll. many.
59:11
Speaker 1: I'll go with Illinois.
59:14
Speaker 2: Let's go UCF and Illinois then.
59:17
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll wrap those two together. That's a good payout.
59:20
Speaker 1: That'll be our underdog play of the week. Folks, enjoy
59:23
Speaker 1: your Saturday. College football is fun. It is made to
59:26
Speaker 1: be fun. It's made to enjoy. Throw you a couple
59:29
Speaker 1: units down. Enjoy the game, brother. It's going to be fun.
59:33
Speaker 1: We've got a long way to go with this season.
59:35
Speaker 1: I know we're week eight, but I'm still telling you,
59:37
Speaker 1: there is a lot of weird shit to happen. We
59:39
Speaker 1: haven't even gotten to that one weekend that they've been
59:41
Speaker 1: talking about yet. What's it, November the 7th, when all.
59:44
Speaker 2: The big teams play each other?
59:46
Speaker 1: We've still got two weeks to get to that. And so,
59:48
Speaker 1: It is going to be on. Thank y'all for the download.
59:51
Speaker 1: Give us some reviews. Give us some notes. Tell us
59:53
Speaker 1: we're idiots. Have a great time. We love y'all, and
59:56
Speaker 1: we will talk to y'all next week.
