0:17
Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
0:19
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing.
0:24
Speaker 1: Two straight losses, not a good day at all. OWN
0:27
Speaker 1: four next have not had a good season. Man with
0:32
Speaker 1: wookends slump that I'm on, and the slump continues, I've
0:37
Speaker 1: reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
0:41
Speaker 1: brons haack. Man, I don't know what is going on
0:43
Speaker 1: with the Bruins archhape? Is that what it is? I
0:46
Speaker 1: don't even know it's March ninth, I think who even knows? Man,
0:51
Speaker 1: I don't know what data is anymore. I don't even
0:53
Speaker 1: know what data is anymore. Man, back with you after
0:57
Speaker 1: the worst day that I could possibly have, Back with
1:00
Speaker 1: few as I always am until I die at least
1:04
Speaker 1: oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not go well
1:07

1:11
Speaker 1: had in my eighteen years. Doing this. I don't know
1:13
Speaker 1: what to even tell you about this anymore. To the slump, praise,
1:17
Speaker 1: the slump discontinuous, the slump continues. Somebody fucking kill me, please.
1:23
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this
1:25
Speaker 1: point other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody,
1:33
Speaker 1: it's towed back with you better off dead. Thursday, October sixteenth,
1:38
Speaker 1: one and er on the show. Yesterday, we gave out
1:40
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. We got an easy win on
1:43
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. I think they were down two
1:46
Speaker 1: to nothing in the first inning and then boy they
1:50
Speaker 1: unloaded offensively after that, and uh yeah, they were basically
1:54
Speaker 1: only behind for that brief moment and then wound up
1:57
Speaker 1: with a huge win. I think they took a twelve
1:59
Speaker 1: to one, no, twelve to two lead right because they
2:01
Speaker 1: were down two to nothing early the twelve to two lead.
2:04
Speaker 1: They wound up winning thirteen to four easy when on
2:07
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. That's that's how you like it. We
2:11
Speaker 1: move forward from that, obviously. But yeah, we've had a
2:14
Speaker 1: nice past like month or so. Man, we're definitely hot,
2:18
Speaker 1: Like basically since football started, we've been pretty hot. Baseball
2:22
Speaker 1: playoffs have been really good too. I think I only
2:24
Speaker 1: one loss in the baseball playoffs. I think I'm what
2:26
Speaker 1: like five and one something like that, five to one
2:28
Speaker 1: and one. I haven't I'd have to go back and
2:31
Speaker 1: look at what the record is, but it's something like that.
2:34
Speaker 1: It's been good, Jeffrey, what's up. Thanks for hanging out.
2:37
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit earlier this morning. I'm not totally
2:39
Speaker 1: on schedule, but I'm close. I'm gonna only have one
2:42
Speaker 1: play today. It's gonna be in hockey. We do have
2:46
Speaker 1: all the sports that are currently in action or in
2:50
Speaker 1: action basically tonight. As we have a decent NHL board here,
2:54
Speaker 1: although I don't love it, but it's a decent size board.
2:56
Speaker 1: We got one college football game one and fell game,
3:01
Speaker 1: and both baseball series are in action as well. Yeah,
3:06
Speaker 1: let's get into it, man, Let's go to the breakdown.
3:12
Speaker 1: We'll start with baseball, even though I know it's crucial.
3:14
Speaker 1: It's the baseball playoffs, not only the playoffs, but the
3:18
Speaker 1: ALCS and NLCS. The ALCS, actually we'll talk about the NLCS.
3:24
Speaker 1: Is the first game up at six o eight pm
3:26
Speaker 1: Eastern on TBS, True TV and HBO Max. You get
3:30
Speaker 1: a lot of options to watch this one. I don't
3:33
Speaker 1: know why you'd pay for HBO Max just for this though,
3:35
Speaker 1: And if you have cable at all, you'll get the
3:39
Speaker 1: other two channels, TBS A True TV. So I don't know.
3:42
Speaker 1: This game is gonna be a little bit difficult to
3:44
Speaker 1: gauge because Milwaukee has not decided on a starting pitcher.
3:47
Speaker 1: If you look at the way Milwaukee has run the
3:49
Speaker 1: rotation the last time, the game after Peralta, which Paralta
3:53
Speaker 1: pitched in their last game, the last time they went
3:56
Speaker 1: through the rotation that way, they use an opener and
3:59
Speaker 1: then they use Missierowski for like four innings. So I'm
4:01
Speaker 1: guessing that's gonna be what they do today. I think
4:04
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be. I mean, it might be a
4:06
Speaker 1: situation where the manager is gonna mix a match, though,
4:10
Speaker 1: like it's probably it's either gonna be Missierowski or a
4:12
Speaker 1: Priester getting like the majority of the the usage I
4:16
Speaker 1: think for Milwaukee here. But my guess would be missed
4:18
Speaker 1: because the series is on the line. Here's the Dodgers
4:21
Speaker 1: are up two to zero, the series shifted to LA.
4:24
Speaker 1: I think it would be miss Zerowski. He might only
4:26
Speaker 1: go about four innings though he is a young, inexperienced
4:30
Speaker 1: pitcher though, which might be a concern. He might be
4:33
Speaker 1: following like an opener that comes in for one inning
4:36
Speaker 1: or something like that. We have no idea exactly what
4:38
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's gonna do. It's gonna be a pseudo bullpen game, though,
4:41
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really love those. I know last night,
4:44
Speaker 1: I really liked the starting pitching pitching matchup for Toronto
4:48
Speaker 1: last night, in addition to the fact that they were
4:50
Speaker 1: in total desperation mode. So I liked that. With Milwaukee here,
4:54
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that I like it. Man. Even
4:55
Speaker 1: though Milwaukee was a good road team this year, best
4:58
Speaker 1: road team in baseball. I think, forty five and thirty
5:01
Speaker 1: six on the road, very solid road record. Dodgers were
5:04
Speaker 1: very good at home though, fifty two to twenty nine
5:06
Speaker 1: at home. Dodgers' offense very good at home. They do
5:09
Speaker 1: have the better offense. The Milwaukee's offense was actually a
5:12
Speaker 1: better road offense bullpen wise, I mean, both teams were
5:18
Speaker 1: off yesterday, so the bullpens are rested pretty much. But
5:22
Speaker 1: Milwaukee does have the better of the two bullpens. But
5:25
Speaker 1: the starting pitching matchup, you gotta say the Dodgers have
5:28
Speaker 1: the edge here, man, Tyler Glasnow is pitching this This
5:31
Speaker 1: Dodger rotation at this point is they're probably gonna win
5:34
Speaker 1: the World Series again. Man, even though I picked Seattle
5:37
Speaker 1: in my bracket, this Dodger I have Seattle over the
5:39
Speaker 1: Dodgers in my bracket. This Dodger rotation is basically unstoppable. Man.
5:44
Speaker 1: I mean, they're up two to zero with two road wins,
5:46
Speaker 1: and Glasnow and Otani are pitching the next two games.
5:49
Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous. Uh, Glasno had a shortened season
5:54
Speaker 1: or he had like a big gap in the season
5:56
Speaker 1: because he was hurt again. He's healthy now. He had
5:59
Speaker 1: a good overall season three point one to ninety RA,
6:02
Speaker 1: one point one whip. He was really good at home
6:05
Speaker 1: two point seven to seven homey RA. He's pitched well
6:08
Speaker 1: in the playoffs so far. They kind of ramped him up.
6:10
Speaker 1: They actually like they kind of winded him down with
6:13
Speaker 1: a short start to end the season, which was against Seattle. Interestingly,
6:16
Speaker 1: he didn't give up any runs in that one. He
6:18
Speaker 1: was pitching well right until the end, pretty much, except
6:21
Speaker 1: he had too many walks in a couple of the
6:22
Speaker 1: starts in the last month. In September against San Francisco.
6:27
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, he came into the playoffs and he's
6:30
Speaker 1: been good. I mean, his walk rate has still been
6:32
Speaker 1: an issue though in the playoffs, but they kind of
6:35
Speaker 1: ramped him back up. He pitched in two games against
6:38
Speaker 1: the Phillies only when one to two thirds innings in
6:40
Speaker 1: the first one and then six innings his last time out,
6:43
Speaker 1: which was the better of the two outings. In that one,
6:46
Speaker 1: he had eight strikeouts, three walks, shut Philly out and
6:49
Speaker 1: only allowed two hits. He hasn't allowed to run yet
6:51
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's pitching well, high strikeout rate. The
6:55
Speaker 1: only concern is five walks in seven to two thirds innings.
6:59
Speaker 1: That is way too many walks. Ten strikeouts. Really good,
7:02
Speaker 1: but he's got to get that command back in order here.
7:05
Speaker 1: I think he can though. I mean, he's definitely a
7:08
Speaker 1: really good pitcher, a veteran pitcher. His numbers are good
7:10
Speaker 1: against Milwaukee two and seventy one at bats twenty six
7:13
Speaker 1: to eight strike a walk ratio one forty one batting
7:16
Speaker 1: average allowed to five to ten ops allowed, So he
7:19
Speaker 1: has historically been very good against Milwaukee. The money came
7:23
Speaker 1: in on the Dodgers early up from minus one seventy
7:26
Speaker 1: to minus one eighty five on the money line. They're
7:28
Speaker 1: at a pretty significant price here, but that's still probably
7:31
Speaker 1: the only way that I would look in this game
7:33
Speaker 1: would be towards the Dodgers. To win this thing, you'd
7:36
Speaker 1: have to probably lay a run line on them, though
7:38
Speaker 1: if you want it, like get them minus one and
7:40
Speaker 1: a half runs or whatever to get that price down.
7:43
Speaker 1: They hit well at home. I know doing that at
7:45
Speaker 1: home isn't ideal because if they're ahead, they won't bat
7:48
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning. But I do think the Dodgers
7:50
Speaker 1: are gonna win this game, man, I mean that's the
7:52
Speaker 1: way that I see it, even though Milwaukee's gonna be
7:55
Speaker 1: a very desperate underdog here. Don't want to actually give
7:58
Speaker 1: it out as a player or anything, but yeah, I
8:00
Speaker 1: just think the matchup is just too strong with the Dodgers.
8:03
Speaker 1: If you want to go first five inning run line,
8:05
Speaker 1: that is a way to look too, because Milwaukee their
8:09
Speaker 1: bullpen is the better bullpen. So if you can somehow
8:11
Speaker 1: get the Dodgers to be ahead at the end of
8:14
Speaker 1: five innings by a run or maybe even a half run,
8:18
Speaker 1: I mean that is probably worth a look as well.
8:21
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Yeah, Toronto. Yeah, I mean that was
8:26
Speaker 1: my favorite play of the day. And then I had
8:30
Speaker 1: the Blackhawks were almost to play for me yesterday, and
8:34
Speaker 1: I wish I did it because they won with ease yesterday,
8:38
Speaker 1: absolute blowout Blackhawk win over the Blues yesterday. Well, thank you, sir, Toronto.
8:48
Speaker 1: I didn't really have an opinion on the total, I
8:50
Speaker 1: don't think in that one, but I thought that, I mean,
8:52
Speaker 1: I thought the total at seven was like pretty ridiculously low. Actually,
8:56
Speaker 1: I guess, but I don't think I really had that
8:58
Speaker 1: strong of an opinion on that strong opinion was definitely
9:01
Speaker 1: on Toronto. But yes, thank you, sir. I'm glad I
9:03
Speaker 1: was correct about that. And we do have that series
9:08
Speaker 1: continuing Toronto at Seattle. The slump discontinuing for Toronto after yesterday,
9:13
Speaker 1: they had a really good game one thirteen to four.
9:17
Speaker 1: Don't know if it's really gonna continue here though, I mean,
9:21
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure about Seattle scoring and that one, to
9:24
Speaker 1: be honest, I mean, you needed them to basically score
9:26
Speaker 1: against Toronto's bullpen if Toronto is not gonna like put
9:30
Speaker 1: up a ton of runs in that game, although they did,
9:32
Speaker 1: but Seattle after Seattle only scored in two winnings in
9:36
Speaker 1: the game, like after the first inning, they never scored
9:39
Speaker 1: again until the very end, so they really didn't do
9:41
Speaker 1: They did hardly anything against Beieber, which was kind of
9:45
Speaker 1: my concern with that total. In this game Toronto at Seattle. Again,
9:50
Speaker 1: of course, we do have some bullpen usage to look
9:52
Speaker 1: at here. Seattle used three relief pitchers yesterday Toronto also
9:55
Speaker 1: used three. Some of the better relievers are still available,
9:59
Speaker 1: like Toronto's his back end is basically Dominguez and Hoffman.
10:02
Speaker 1: They're both still available here Seattle because it was a blowout,
10:07
Speaker 1: so no high leverage relief men really came in. Seattle
10:10
Speaker 1: still got Moon you know's aka send your Smoke and
10:14
Speaker 1: Bizardo I think is kind of their closer ish I believe.
10:18
Speaker 1: So those guys are still available today, so high leverage
10:21
Speaker 1: arms available. Seattle does have the better of the two bullpens.
10:25
Speaker 1: Toronto has the better offense, but Seattle is good at home.
10:28
Speaker 1: Remember the Blue Jays are not very good on the road.
10:31
Speaker 1: Forty and forty one Seattle fifty one thirty at home.
10:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I went against that with the
10:36
Speaker 1: play yesterday. But this game, Toronto I mean with basically
10:41
Speaker 1: the series on the line, they're going with Max Scherzer
10:44
Speaker 1: on the mud. I don't know, man, I don't know
10:46
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here. Yeah, he's a veteran, he's very experienced,
10:50
Speaker 1: but he is pretty much at the end of his
10:52
Speaker 1: career here. Man. He did not wind up having a
10:55
Speaker 1: very good season five point one to ninety RA one
10:57
Speaker 1: point two to nine whip. He pitched well for a
10:59
Speaker 1: while and then it seemed like he just really wore down,
11:02
Speaker 1: even though he didn't throw that many innings this year.
11:04
Speaker 1: I think just age kind of catching up to him.
11:06
Speaker 1: He couldn't really go the full season. They've given him
11:09
Speaker 1: some rest for that reason. So maybe he'll come out
11:12
Speaker 1: and actually pitch well again because he's had rest. But
11:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. He was bad on the road
11:16
Speaker 1: five point nine to one road RA even though yes,
11:19
Speaker 1: this is a pitcher from the park, he was very
11:21
Speaker 1: bad in the month of September with a ten point
11:24
Speaker 1: two ERA. Hasn't pitched now since September twenty fourth, So
11:27
Speaker 1: they've given him a lot of time off to you know,
11:32
Speaker 1: to try to like they're they're basically trying to rest
11:34
Speaker 1: him so that he can give them something in the playoffs,
11:36
Speaker 1: and this is the chance for him to do that.
11:40
Speaker 1: But we'll see. Man. His strikeout walk ratio is still
11:43
Speaker 1: actually fairly good in September, not great, but decent in
11:46
Speaker 1: September twenty to seven strike out walk ratio not elite anymore,
11:51
Speaker 1: but okay. His numbers against Seattle are not terrible and
11:55
Speaker 1: fifty four at bats eighteen to three strike out walk
11:57
Speaker 1: ratio two O four average allowed six ninety higher than
12:01
Speaker 1: you'd expect with that average being that low. He's allowed
12:04
Speaker 1: four home runs to them, two from Suarez, though Suarez
12:07
Speaker 1: is only three for nineteen off them with nine strikeouts,
12:10
Speaker 1: so it's like Suarez either takes some yard or strikes
12:13
Speaker 1: out pretty much against him. High variants, high variants bad
12:19
Speaker 1: are there from Suarez. It's hard to gauge with sat
12:23
Speaker 1: what Scherzer is gonna do in this game, man, I mean,
12:26
Speaker 1: I'm almost sort of leaning towards him not doing that well. Here.
12:30
Speaker 1: He's going up against Luis Castillo, who is the younger
12:33
Speaker 1: pitcher here and had a more consistent season. He's been
12:36
Speaker 1: the more consistent pitcher just recently as well. Three point
12:40
Speaker 1: five to four ERA one point one to eight whip
12:44
Speaker 1: really good at home two point six home era. He
12:47
Speaker 1: pitched twice in the Detroit series. I think he actually pitted.
12:50
Speaker 1: He pitched him relief in the fifteen inning games, so
12:54
Speaker 1: that's the last time he saw him. He didn't give
12:56
Speaker 1: up any runs over six innings pitched in that series.
12:59
Speaker 1: He only game of one hit when he pitched in
13:01
Speaker 1: that series. But he also walked four guys and have
13:05
Speaker 1: four strikeouts. He's gonna have to get that walk number down.
13:07
Speaker 1: But with him, he usually has pretty good command, so
13:10
Speaker 1: I'm not as concerned about that. Against Toronto, his numbers
13:13
Speaker 1: are just mediocre though. In one hundred and thirty three
13:15
Speaker 1: at bats, thirty two to six strike a walk ratio
13:18
Speaker 1: is definitely good. But two fifty six average, I mean
13:21
Speaker 1: that's not horrible either. Seven thirty nine ops a little
13:24
Speaker 1: bit on the getting into the higher ish range there.
13:28
Speaker 1: He's allowed five home runs to them, to five different batters,
13:30
Speaker 1: I believe. So I'm just gonna stay away from the game, man.
13:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're looking at current form
13:36
Speaker 1: and whatever in that matters, and I think Seattle does
13:38
Speaker 1: have the edge here. They also have the better bullpen,
13:41
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna go with Seattle. I think full
13:43
Speaker 1: game does make sense. You're getting a decent price on it.
13:46
Speaker 1: They're down for minus one thirty two to minus one
13:48
Speaker 1: twenty fifty one percent of tickets are on Toronto because
13:51
Speaker 1: the public they start shifting to what they saw last
13:53
Speaker 1: and they saw Toronto winning a blowout yesterday. So now
13:57
Speaker 1: the public wants Toronto a lot more than they did yesterday,
14:00
Speaker 1: even though it does still seem like the sort of
14:03
Speaker 1: in general, the public is kind of like, yeah, I
14:05
Speaker 1: don't know if we want Max Schurz or here. But
14:07
Speaker 1: also he has so much name recognition behind him. He's
14:10
Speaker 1: gonna be like in the Hall of Fame. So people
14:12
Speaker 1: are still like, oh, well, sures Are is pitching, Like,
14:14
Speaker 1: maybe it does make sense to take him as an underdog.
14:18
Speaker 1: I would lean towards Seattle in the game. They do
14:20
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of the cash now as well. That's
14:22
Speaker 1: the way that I see it. I think Seattle's gonna
14:24
Speaker 1: win the series. I think this game is huge obviously,
14:29
Speaker 1: like Seattle doesn't really want to have to be tied
14:32
Speaker 1: to too and have to go back to Toronto, although the
14:35
Speaker 1: next game will also be in Seattle. I believe I
14:37
Speaker 1: think it's a two three two series. But Seattle does
14:40
Speaker 1: not want to be in a two two game. I
14:42
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine even though yes, they'll have one more shot
14:44
Speaker 1: at home if that happens, to try to send it
14:48
Speaker 1: back to Toronto up three too, if that's what happens,
14:50
Speaker 1: So they probably that's not really ideal for them, obviously,
14:53
Speaker 1: So I would lean to Seattle in that one teams
14:58
Speaker 1: score in the first inning and then no more. Yeah,
15:01
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends. Like sometimes the pitcher is just
15:04
Speaker 1: shaky really early on. I mean Bieber with him, maybe
15:08
Speaker 1: it's just because I don't know, I think he had well, No,
15:11
Speaker 1: he pitched once in the playoffs already this year, and
15:13
Speaker 1: I was gonna say maybe just because he hadn't pitched
15:15
Speaker 1: in the playoffs like in a long time. I don't know.
15:18
Speaker 1: I don't really get it. Public are are basically the squares. Yeah,
15:21
Speaker 1: that's true. Usually I'm looking to go against what their
15:26
Speaker 1: sentiment is. NHL. I will have one play in the
15:29
Speaker 1: NHL here. I'm gonna not touch every game here, but
15:33
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about some of the bigger games. All
15:36
Speaker 1: these games are in the evening, the Rangers at Toronto,
15:38
Speaker 1: the Rangers probably glad to be on the road here
15:41
Speaker 1: because they have not scored a goal at home yet,
15:44
Speaker 1: which is unbelievable to me because they're really not this bad.
15:48
Speaker 1: But they're I believe they're two and zero on the road,
15:51
Speaker 1: so they're probably pretty happy to go on the road.
15:54
Speaker 1: Although the only teams they've beaten were Buffalo and Pittsburgh
15:56
Speaker 1: and those are not good teams. We'll see what with
16:00
Speaker 1: the Rangers, man, I mean, they do have a new
16:02
Speaker 1: coach here, so they're dealing with a new system, probably,
16:05
Speaker 1: you know, growing pains in order, you know, as far
16:09
Speaker 1: as that's concerned. Coming off a big game against Edmonton
16:12
Speaker 1: though where they played still pretty close, but it's still
16:14
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing. I mean, they only lost two to nothing,
16:17
Speaker 1: but it's still pretty embarrassing to get shut out in
16:19
Speaker 1: three straight home games like this. Even though Edmonton and
16:22
Speaker 1: Washington are both pretty good, Edmonton not not known as
16:25
Speaker 1: a defensive team, so I don't really know what went
16:28
Speaker 1: on in that game. Maybe good for the Rangers to
16:31
Speaker 1: get out of there and go on the road. Just
16:32
Speaker 1: forget about what's happening at home, not listen to the
16:35
Speaker 1: news media. You go on the road, you know, they're
16:37
Speaker 1: gonna be focused for this game. It's against Toronto. Toronto
16:40
Speaker 1: has been one of the better teams in hockey recently
16:42
Speaker 1: and they're just a big name in hockey. This is
16:45
Speaker 1: an Original six matchup as well, I believe, so it's
16:48
Speaker 1: a big game I think for both teams, though, in
16:50
Speaker 1: Toronto is staying at home and they do kind of
16:52
Speaker 1: have some momentum. They just had an easy win last
16:55
Speaker 1: time out against Nashville seven to four. They're number one
17:00
Speaker 1: goalie Stolars will be back in net this time because
17:02
Speaker 1: they use Primo in that Nashville game, which is part
17:05
Speaker 1: of the reason why they allowed so many goals. I
17:07
Speaker 1: would say, so it sets up decently for both teams.
17:10
Speaker 1: I don't really have a strong opinion on this game.
17:13
Speaker 1: The money is saying Toronto they're down for minus one
17:16
Speaker 1: fifty one forty five, but the Rangers, surprisingly, they're getting
17:19
Speaker 1: the public action. It looks like sixty one percent of tickets,
17:21
Speaker 1: although again with hockey, the public isn't you know, isn't
17:25
Speaker 1: like really involved in hockey necessarily. Although this game is
17:28
Speaker 1: probably gonna be one of the more publicly bet games
17:31
Speaker 1: on the hockey board with two big name teams, seventy
17:35
Speaker 1: two percent of the cash they don't want Toronto. I mean,
17:37
Speaker 1: that's what the market is saying. That would probably be
17:39
Speaker 1: what I would default to as an opinion just for
17:42
Speaker 1: that reason. But I don't know, man. I do think
17:44
Speaker 1: you're gonna see kind of an angry Ranger team here
17:47
Speaker 1: at the very least, But they just haven't done anything
17:49
Speaker 1: impressive so far, so I don't know. Difficult to read
17:55
Speaker 1: unders in the Red Wings game. I don't even know
17:58
Speaker 1: what happened in that game, I think, I what do
18:00
Speaker 1: we have with the Red Wings? I don't even remember.
18:02
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, then won four to one, so that probably
18:04
Speaker 1: went under or pushed on the total. I would imagine.
18:08
Speaker 1: I think there were two empty net goals in that
18:10
Speaker 1: game too. That's the thing about the totals that I
18:13
Speaker 1: really really get worried about is empty net goals send
18:17
Speaker 1: a lot of games over the total that shouldn't go over.
18:20
Speaker 1: I mean, that shit is just it's very, very dangerous,
18:24
Speaker 1: honestly to be on unders like. I mean, you could
18:27
Speaker 1: say the same thing about baseball with extra innings of
18:29
Speaker 1: this stupid ghost runner, but that doesn't happen that often. Hockey,
18:33
Speaker 1: empty net goals happened so fucking often that it's like
18:36
Speaker 1: those can just kill unders. It's just, oh my god.
18:39
Speaker 1: So if you saw me last year, I think I
18:42
Speaker 1: pretty much only played overs when I played hockey totals
18:45
Speaker 1: last year, and I didn't do it very often. I
18:46
Speaker 1: think I did Okay, I wasn't great, but I think
18:49
Speaker 1: I was slightly up in those totals last year. I
18:51
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna keep doing it. But it
18:55
Speaker 1: still went under the five and a half. It should
18:56
Speaker 1: have gone way under that. But the empty net goals
18:59
Speaker 1: are just ridiculous. I also thought Florida would win that game,
19:02
Speaker 1: and it was two to one late in the game,
19:05
Speaker 1: which nice segue. Well, actually I won't segue to that yet.
19:09
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Seattle in Ottawa just because there might
19:11
Speaker 1: be something to talk about here. Seattle to just take
19:15
Speaker 1: their first loss of the season. It was an overtime
19:17
Speaker 1: against Montreal. I mean Montreal they're on the upswing man,
19:22
Speaker 1: so Montreal, I mean they're a team that, like they
19:25
Speaker 1: already have a ton of name recognition obviously, but they're
19:27
Speaker 1: a respected team again, so it's a big game when
19:30
Speaker 1: you go and you play Montreal again. Now, Seattle played
19:33
Speaker 1: two overtime games in a row, beating Vegas big win,
19:37
Speaker 1: started the road trip, went into overtime again, lost to Montreal,
19:41
Speaker 1: and now they have to turn around and play Ottawa,
19:43
Speaker 1: who only has one wins so far. They do have
19:45
Speaker 1: Toronto up next, which I think if you're gonna pay
19:48
Speaker 1: attention to one of these games and have a bad
19:50
Speaker 1: game in one of these games, I think the bad
19:52
Speaker 1: game is gonna come here against Ottawa because they're only
19:55
Speaker 1: a one win team right now, even though I know
19:56
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs last year. They're not a bad team,
20:00
Speaker 1: but they might be flying a little bit under the
20:01
Speaker 1: radar right now. Seattle might be in a little bit
20:03
Speaker 1: of a hangover spot after that Montreal game. I would
20:07
Speaker 1: lean to Ottawa in this one. Maybe, I mean, they'll
20:10
Speaker 1: still draw some focus, but Ottawa they got to turn
20:12
Speaker 1: something around. They've lost three games in a row now,
20:15
Speaker 1: though one of them was to Florida, so you can't
20:17
Speaker 1: really blame them for that. On the road. They started
20:19
Speaker 1: out with three road games in four games, so that
20:24
Speaker 1: was part of the reason why the record isn't that good.
20:26
Speaker 1: But losing to Nashville and Buffalo both really ugly. I mean,
20:31
Speaker 1: that makes them look worse than they actually are. And
20:33
Speaker 1: remember that Buffalo game that was yesterday. They used Marilane
20:37
Speaker 1: or maryline And as their goalie, so Ohmark was not
20:40
Speaker 1: a net for that one. So it was a big
20:42
Speaker 1: downgrade for their goaltending position last night. So that's part
20:46
Speaker 1: of the reason why they allowed so many goals against
20:48
Speaker 1: a bad Buffalo team. Buffalo has finally won a game,
20:51
Speaker 1: by the way, so I had said that I thought
20:53
Speaker 1: San Jose would be the last team to win a game,
20:57
Speaker 1: even though they've gone into overtime a couple of times,
20:59
Speaker 1: and maybe that'll still be the case. I don't know,
21:02
Speaker 1: but Ottawa pretty embarrassing. I would lean towards Autawa here.
21:07
Speaker 1: The main issue that I really have those that it's
21:09
Speaker 1: a back to back. They were in Buffalo last night,
21:11
Speaker 1: now they're coming back home. I know it's not a
21:13
Speaker 1: huge travel leg there, but it's still something. They're still
21:17
Speaker 1: on the back to back. I know they'll have their
21:19
Speaker 1: better goalie back in net here and he's rested, so
21:22
Speaker 1: that's a good thing for Ottawa, so that kind of
21:24
Speaker 1: integates the back to back a little bit. But of
21:26
Speaker 1: course they're skaters all had to play yesterday, so it's
21:29
Speaker 1: still a back to back, they're playing a third game
21:31
Speaker 1: in four days, fourth game in six days, where they've
21:34
Speaker 1: zigzag all over the place like they're in Florida on Saturday.
21:37
Speaker 1: Back home Buffalo now back home again. Don't quite want
21:41
Speaker 1: to do it, but I do think Ottawa is the
21:44
Speaker 1: way that I would lean in this game if I
21:45
Speaker 1: was going to do anything with it. But the money
21:47
Speaker 1: is disagreeing with that. Auto is down for one forty
21:51
Speaker 1: five eighty seven percent of tickets on them, seventy four
21:53
Speaker 1: percent of the cash coming in at Seattle, so the
21:56
Speaker 1: market read is saying Seattle, I don't agree with it.
22:00
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I would lean to Ottawa in
22:04
Speaker 1: that one, but I certainly don't want to make it
22:05
Speaker 1: a play under in the Oilers plus leaning towards the Oilers.
22:10
Speaker 1: I could talk about that game. I didn't really have
22:12
Speaker 1: much of an opinion on it. Florida and the Devils
22:15
Speaker 1: the Devils, This is an interesting one man. Florida. They're
22:20
Speaker 1: on a back to back, as we know, they played
22:22
Speaker 1: last night, but Brovsky was back in nets, So will
22:25
Speaker 1: they use him on a back to back? They might,
22:28
Speaker 1: because I mean he's their better goalie. These tarsaw of
22:31
Speaker 1: in the game prior to that, the game that they
22:33
Speaker 1: lost to Philadelphia, which by the way, was very misleading
22:37
Speaker 1: because they gave up two empty net goals in that one.
22:39
Speaker 1: They also gave up two empty net goals last night.
22:41
Speaker 1: So Florida they're better than they look right now. But
22:45
Speaker 1: it is a back to back. It is a third
22:47
Speaker 1: road game in four days, which is a pretty difficult
22:49
Speaker 1: spot to be in. In fourth game in six days,
22:52
Speaker 1: all in different cities. So that's something you look at
22:55
Speaker 1: in hockey, NBA, whatever, When you see like a jam
22:57
Speaker 1: schedule like that, it's usually not a good thing. So
23:02
Speaker 1: some conflicting factors going on in this game, right I
23:04
Speaker 1: think Florida is not as not anywhere near as bad
23:06
Speaker 1: as they looked in those last couple of games, but
23:09
Speaker 1: it is still a difficult spot for them and for
23:11
Speaker 1: New Jersey. You know, New Jersey's gonna show up against Florida.
23:14
Speaker 1: Both of these teams will I think are gonna show
23:17
Speaker 1: up here New Jersey. This is actually their home opener.
23:21
Speaker 1: They played three road games to start the season, and yes,
23:23
Speaker 1: that does mean they're returning home from a road trip,
23:25
Speaker 1: which usually is a distracted spot. But do you think
23:28
Speaker 1: they're gonna be distracted when they've had multiple days off,
23:31
Speaker 1: they're at home, it's their home opener, and it's the
23:34
Speaker 1: returning champions coming to play them. I think New Jersey's
23:37
Speaker 1: gonna be focused here, so I think the scheduling setup
23:41
Speaker 1: is a lot better for New Jersey. They went up
23:43
Speaker 1: for minus one thirty seven to minus one fifty five,
23:45
Speaker 1: sixty three percent tickets on New Jersey though, which doesn't
23:49
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense to me. Really, I
23:50
Speaker 1: don't see why the public would be on that side.
23:53
Speaker 1: But seventy three percent of the cash coming in on Florida,
23:56
Speaker 1: I don't really get it. I would slightly link to
23:59
Speaker 1: New Jersey in that game, but I mean I don't
24:02
Speaker 1: want to play it obviously. Yeah, I mean it's it's
24:06
Speaker 1: a stay away from me in that one. But I
24:08
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I don't want to do anything
24:11
Speaker 1: with it fading Florida all season. They're injured, The injuries
24:15
Speaker 1: are factored into the into the line. Though. I think
24:19
Speaker 1: injuries don't matter as much in hockey unless it's like
24:22
Speaker 1: such a bad like cluster injury situation they just can't
24:26
Speaker 1: overcome it. But Florida, to me, I still think they're
24:29
Speaker 1: one of the better teams, even though the Osburgers are
24:31
Speaker 1: telling you New Jersey is the better team here. But yeah,
24:35
Speaker 1: I mean Florida. I don't think they're gonna win another
24:37
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup, but they're still a very good team in
24:40
Speaker 1: my opinion, So yeah, I mean, I'm only looking to
24:44
Speaker 1: fade them in like in spots where you want to
24:47
Speaker 1: fade them, because they're probably gonna be overvalued at some
24:50
Speaker 1: points because they are back to back defending champs. Like
24:55
Speaker 1: last year, they were actually extremely undervalued going into the playoffs,
24:58
Speaker 1: which is kind of crazy because they were the returning
25:01
Speaker 1: champs and I picked them to win the whole thing
25:03
Speaker 1: in my bracket, which was correct. Do you think they're
25:06
Speaker 1: gonna win at Buffalo? Yeah, I mean Buffalo sucks, but
25:09
Speaker 1: Buffalo did finally get a win. I don't know. I'll
25:13
Speaker 1: have to see how the situation sets up in that
25:15
Speaker 1: one see if I have any sort of opinion on him.
25:18
Speaker 1: Edmonton is at the Islanders. This is a weird game.
25:22
Speaker 1: I think you have Edmonton. Yeah, Edmonton doesn't have any
25:25
Speaker 1: regulation losses. They're two to zero to one. The Islanders
25:28
Speaker 1: are own three. But I think the Islanders are better
25:30
Speaker 1: than the record looks Edmonton is coming off a shutout
25:34
Speaker 1: of the Rangers. I mean, yeah, I mean I'm gonna
25:37
Speaker 1: disagree with Edmonton in this game. I mean they're coming
25:40
Speaker 1: off a couple of big games. They had a nice
25:42
Speaker 1: game against Vancouver to bounce back from that loss that
25:45
Speaker 1: were that we had correct on my show against Calgary.
25:48
Speaker 1: We had Calgary in that game. Calgary is not a
25:50
Speaker 1: good team, but I like the spot Edmonton bounced back
25:53
Speaker 1: from that in won two games after that. But they
25:55
Speaker 1: just beat the Rangers in New York. And when you
25:57
Speaker 1: go to New York, you know the Rangers are gonna
25:59
Speaker 1: be the team that draws more of your focus than
26:02
Speaker 1: the Islanders. Even if the Rangers are looking like they're
26:04
Speaker 1: a little bit down right now. Teams just overlook the Islanders. Man,
26:08
Speaker 1: That's just the way that it is. And they do
26:10
Speaker 1: have New Jersey up next, and then Detroit, Ottawa, montret
26:14
Speaker 1: also in this whole slate of games here. If they're
26:16
Speaker 1: gonna overlook one of these games, I think it's gonna
26:18
Speaker 1: be this one against the Islanders. The Islanders don't have
26:21
Speaker 1: a win yet. I think they're better than this winless
26:24
Speaker 1: record would tell you that they are they should have
26:26
Speaker 1: won that opener. I'm not just because I gave it
26:28
Speaker 1: out as a play, but they outplayed Pittsburgh in that
26:30
Speaker 1: first game, and I honestly don't even know how they
26:32
Speaker 1: lost that game. Then they lost to Washington in Winnipeg,
26:35
Speaker 1: and if you remember, those were the top two teams
26:38
Speaker 1: record wise in the NHL last year in their respective conferences.
26:42
Speaker 1: Winnipeg won the President's Trophy. So I mean, there's not
26:46
Speaker 1: a whole lot of shame in losing those games, although
26:48
Speaker 1: I know they lost both of them at home, but
26:50
Speaker 1: those are two good teams. Now, they get Edmundton coming in.
26:53
Speaker 1: They've had multiple days off, which I think is a
26:55
Speaker 1: good thing. When you get a break while you're not
26:57
Speaker 1: playing well, it kind of helps you fix shit that's
26:59
Speaker 1: going wrong, almost like a buye. So I think that's good.
27:02
Speaker 1: The Islanders have a rest advantage here. They're staying at home. Oilers.
27:06
Speaker 1: I know they're just traveling within New York right now,
27:08
Speaker 1: but coming off another big wim with one day off,
27:11
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna go Skinner again in this game,
27:13
Speaker 1: or if they might use Pickard in this one and
27:16
Speaker 1: then use Skinner again against New Jersey don't know what
27:18
Speaker 1: they're gonna do, but I mean, you know me, I
27:21
Speaker 1: don't love really either of the goaltenders. Did the Oilers have.
27:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean to the Islanders in this game. The
27:27
Speaker 1: public is all on Edmonton seventy seven percent tickets, only
27:30
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the cash. The money money line
27:34
Speaker 1: has dropped from minus one seventy one sixty eight. I'm
27:39
Speaker 1: almost considering wanting to make this a play. To be honest,
27:42
Speaker 1: I like the Islanders in this one. Yeah, I mean
27:45
Speaker 1: they're gonna be hungry try to get that first win.
27:50
Speaker 1: I'll stay off, but it's close. It is definitely close. Yeah,
27:54
Speaker 1: I mean, I the Islanders. You're getting a really nice
27:56
Speaker 1: price at home on them. I think they're pretty undervalued
27:59
Speaker 1: at this point. I would go with the Islanders in
28:01
Speaker 1: that game. All the money is coming in on the under.
28:03
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, The total did go up a
28:05
Speaker 1: little bit from five and a half to six sixty
28:07
Speaker 1: percent of tickets on the overs seventy three percent of
28:09
Speaker 1: the cousch in the under, though, I don't even know
28:13
Speaker 1: if I like that. I just I mean, I know
28:16
Speaker 1: it's public perception, but I still think you're looking at
28:18
Speaker 1: two teams that are decent at scoring in my opinion,
28:22
Speaker 1: and their goaltending is a little bit questionable. So I
28:25
Speaker 1: don't know, man, but I think the strongest look in
28:28
Speaker 1: that game is the Islanders side. Vancouver at Dallas. Pretty
28:34
Speaker 1: big game here. Dallas is a pretty big favorite. Vancouver
28:37
Speaker 1: not as good as they once were at this point
28:40
Speaker 1: in Dallas maybe the best team in hockey, to be honest.
28:43
Speaker 1: They've won three games out of the gate against Winnipeg
28:46
Speaker 1: and Colorado on the road, and then against Minnesota. I mean,
28:50
Speaker 1: all pretty good teams. Minnesota is the weakest team that
28:52
Speaker 1: played so far. They're staying at home here. Vancouver usually
28:56
Speaker 1: is a team that will draw your attention, at least
28:59
Speaker 1: because it is still the name the Vancouver Canucks. But Vancouver,
29:03
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be focused on this. They've had
29:05
Speaker 1: multiple days off to recover from a loss to Saint Louis,
29:08
Speaker 1: which I think was kind of in a bad spot
29:10
Speaker 1: after they had to return home off of a loss
29:12
Speaker 1: in Edmonton. Vancouver went with their second string goalie in
29:16
Speaker 1: that game in lanc And and so it'll be Demco
29:19
Speaker 1: back in net for them here. I would imagine they
29:21
Speaker 1: get to start a road trip here. You know they're
29:23
Speaker 1: gonna be focused on Dallas, so I think focus wise,
29:26
Speaker 1: it sets up a little bit better for Vancouver. In
29:29
Speaker 1: my opinion, Dallas is very public ninety six percent tickets,
29:33
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the cash, probably not accurate down
29:36
Speaker 1: for minus one ninety one eighty five. I would just
29:38
Speaker 1: have a slight lean on Vancouver. Maybe take them puck
29:41
Speaker 1: line or something like that. My Boston Bruins are having
29:45
Speaker 1: to go to Vegas. This will be their first road
29:48
Speaker 1: game of the season. I think, oh no, they played
29:50
Speaker 1: at Washington, my mistake. This is their first time traveling
29:53
Speaker 1: out of the Eastern time zone. They just lost, and
29:55
Speaker 1: a lot of times, did you take your first loss
29:57
Speaker 1: of the season, It can hang you over into the
29:59
Speaker 1: next game. Maybe it won't hear because they may be
30:02
Speaker 1: focused to start a road trip. They've had multiple days
30:05
Speaker 1: off to kind of forget about that loss, focus on
30:07
Speaker 1: this game. Vegas is a good team, so they should
30:09
Speaker 1: be focused on them. Bruins actually used Corpora salo again
30:14
Speaker 1: in that last game, which I did not expect them
30:15
Speaker 1: to do. Probably part of the reason they lost, to
30:19
Speaker 1: be honest against Tampa Bay and we only got the
30:20
Speaker 1: money line portion of that game, right should have gone
30:23
Speaker 1: with the regulation play ton on Tampa Bay in that one.
30:27
Speaker 1: Bruins will have Swayman back in net in this one, Vegas,
30:30
Speaker 1: I assume lev Aiden Hill back in that he's their
30:33
Speaker 1: top goalie, but I don't know how good he really is,
30:35
Speaker 1: to be honest. They have alternated between him and Schmid
30:38
Speaker 1: so far. And they're actually returning over from a road trip.
30:40
Speaker 1: And they went to San Jose, Seattle, and then they
30:43
Speaker 1: went all the way up to Calgary and they're returning
30:45
Speaker 1: home from that with only one day off, So they
30:47
Speaker 1: are returning over from a road trip or they've been
30:49
Speaker 1: away from home for like a week, so it is
30:52
Speaker 1: kind of a return home spot. They only have another
30:56
Speaker 1: game and it's Calgary up next to us, so it's
30:57
Speaker 1: not like a huge look ahead or anything like that,
30:59
Speaker 1: but it is a return home spot, so I actually
31:01
Speaker 1: think the spot sets up a little bit better for
31:03
Speaker 1: the Bruins in this game. Vegas huge favorite is the
31:08
Speaker 1: Bruins still getting a lot of disrespect in the market,
31:11
Speaker 1: and some of it is zefinitely warrant, And I don't
31:13
Speaker 1: think the Bruins are as good as the record looks.
31:15
Speaker 1: I don't think they're as bad as people projected them
31:17
Speaker 1: to be, though, Vegas up for minus two to end
31:20
Speaker 1: to minus two twenty sixty four percent tickets on them,
31:23
Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of the cash coming in on the Bruins,
31:25
Speaker 1: So the money is coming back in on the Bruins
31:27
Speaker 1: against that huge line there. If you take the Bruins,
31:31
Speaker 1: it would be a puck line play on that one,
31:33
Speaker 1: I would say, so we'll see what happens in that game.
31:36
Speaker 1: And then there was one other game where a team
31:38
Speaker 1: was returning on from a road trip. Was it this
31:40
Speaker 1: La game? Let me say, yeah, so the La Kings here,
31:46
Speaker 1: I think they might be in a bad spot as well.
31:48
Speaker 1: They're returning home from a road trip. But they went
31:50
Speaker 1: to shootouts in two of the games against Vegas and Minnesota,
31:53
Speaker 1: and lost to Winnipeg by one as well, So they
31:56
Speaker 1: had three one goal games, one score games returning on
31:59
Speaker 1: from a trip. But they do two days off, although
32:02
Speaker 1: sometimes when you have multiple days off, you kind of
32:04
Speaker 1: get settled back in at home, so I think it
32:07
Speaker 1: is kind of a bad spot though. Even though they've
32:09
Speaker 1: only played one home game so far, they're still looking
32:11
Speaker 1: for their first home win. So it gives me a
32:13
Speaker 1: little bit of pause on this one, but they might
32:15
Speaker 1: look ahead too. I mean, Pittsburgh not really a team
32:17
Speaker 1: that's gonna draw much focus, to be honest at this point,
32:19
Speaker 1: and they got Carolina up next, is one of the
32:21
Speaker 1: best teams in the East, so it looks like a
32:24
Speaker 1: bit of a sandwich spot in addition to me a
32:26
Speaker 1: return home spot. So a lot of times I would
32:29
Speaker 1: give this out as a play. I'm not gonna do
32:31
Speaker 1: it here, but I mean I'm tempted to do it.
32:34
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is already out in the LA area too, so
32:36
Speaker 1: they were in Anaheim two nights ago. They lost to
32:39
Speaker 1: Anaheim was not a good team, So Pittsburgh not traveling
32:43
Speaker 1: much between Anaheim and LA just thirty minutes up the road,
32:46
Speaker 1: and probably looking to play better here, looking to bounce
32:49
Speaker 1: back a little bit here. Probably they're gonna go with
32:52
Speaker 1: Silovs in net because they're just alterningning between their two goalies,
32:57
Speaker 1: and I don't think either of them are any good,
32:58
Speaker 1: So something to consider there. But I do lean to
33:02
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in this one. The money looks like it's coming
33:04
Speaker 1: in on LA though, even though they're down for minus
33:06
Speaker 1: two ten to minus two hundred seventy eight percent of
33:09
Speaker 1: tickets ninety six percent of cash on LA. I don't
33:12
Speaker 1: agree with it. I would be looking towards taking Pittsburgh
33:14
Speaker 1: on the puck line. And then we do have one
33:17
Speaker 1: best bet, which you might know what it is already,
33:19
Speaker 1: because I already kind of said that I was looking
33:21
Speaker 1: to do this. This is the only play of the day.
33:25
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Winnipeg on the money line minus one
33:27
Speaker 1: thirty five. I know it's a little bit of a
33:30
Speaker 1: price to be laying on the road, but I think
33:31
Speaker 1: Winnipeg is a significantly better team than the Philadelphia Flyers.
33:36
Speaker 1: Flyers the record doesn't look bad right now, one to
33:38
Speaker 1: one and one looks pretty good. That they only lost
33:42
Speaker 1: to Florida by one goal, lost in overtime to Carolina,
33:46
Speaker 1: both on the road. Those are good teams. And then
33:48
Speaker 1: they beat Florida last time out. But I talked about
33:50
Speaker 1: that game man, and I said it was a misleading result.
33:54
Speaker 1: I mean, we had two empty net goals at the
33:56
Speaker 1: end for Philly, and Florida absolutely dominated the game, like physically,
34:00
Speaker 1: at least they had way more hits, and they won
34:02
Speaker 1: the face off battle and the shot percentages and the
34:05
Speaker 1: shot total as well. So the game wasn't really what
34:09
Speaker 1: it appeared on the scoreboard. I think it's a letdown
34:11
Speaker 1: spot for Philly, even though I know Winnipeg is a
34:13
Speaker 1: good team that will draw your focus, But I just
34:16
Speaker 1: don't know if a bad team like Philly can kind
34:18
Speaker 1: of maintain that effort multiple games in a row. They
34:20
Speaker 1: will probably have flood r in net again here because
34:24
Speaker 1: they had multiple days off. But I think when you
34:26
Speaker 1: have multiple days off and you're coming off that huge
34:28
Speaker 1: win over the returning champs in your home opener, I
34:31
Speaker 1: think you're just kind of sitting there like kind of,
34:34
Speaker 1: you know, basking in it a little bit, maybe too much.
34:36
Speaker 1: Whereas Winnipeg, I mean, they're not off to an amazing start.
34:39
Speaker 1: They're two and one right now. They lost their opener
34:41
Speaker 1: to Dallas, but they were able to take care of
34:44
Speaker 1: the other two teams that they played, LA and the Islanders.
34:47
Speaker 1: They've had two days off as well, and they're only
34:49
Speaker 1: going from New York to Philly, so it's not a
34:51
Speaker 1: huge travel leg for them either. I think they got
34:55
Speaker 1: some momentum right now. I don't think they're really going
34:57
Speaker 1: to overlook this game because I mean, they're not coming
34:59
Speaker 1: off off a big game. They don't have a big
35:01
Speaker 1: game up next against Nashville, so I think they're just
35:03
Speaker 1: gonna play through with momentum, and Hella Book will be
35:06
Speaker 1: back in net here as well, because they use Comra
35:09
Speaker 1: Comi in the last game backup goalie and net there
35:12
Speaker 1: and won that game too, So you'll get arrested Hella
35:15
Speaker 1: Book in this one too. We're gonna go with Winnipeg here.
35:20
Speaker 1: The money's disagreeing with me. Fuck the market. I mean,
35:25
Speaker 1: I don't know what else is saying. Man, Sometimes I'm
35:26
Speaker 1: gonna disagree with the market. Winnipeg's down for minus won
35:29
Speaker 1: thirty seven mins, won thirty three, sixty percent of tickets
35:31
Speaker 1: on them, eighty nine percent of the cash of Philadelphia.
35:34
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't agree with that. I think
35:36
Speaker 1: Winnipeg is the right side. Maybe you could wait, you
35:38
Speaker 1: might get a little bit of a better number on Winnipeg,
35:40
Speaker 1: because it looks like the actual money is driving this
35:43
Speaker 1: line down. But I think Winnipeg is the right side,
35:45
Speaker 1: and that is my only play today. New coach for
35:49
Speaker 1: the Flyers, yeah, I mean a new coach sometimes when
35:53
Speaker 1: they're coming in though, like there's like growing pains and
35:56
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, you have to learn the
35:58
Speaker 1: new coaches system whatever, and sometimes it is not a
36:02
Speaker 1: good thing right away. But I mean, we'll see. I
36:04
Speaker 1: still know think Philadelphia is a good team though. All right,
36:09
Speaker 1: we'll go to college football. We have one game here
36:12
Speaker 1: in college football which I think I kind of disagree
36:14
Speaker 1: with the market in this one too. It's Tulsa in
36:17
Speaker 1: East Carolina, And yeah, I was definitely not right about
36:21
Speaker 1: those games last night. By the way, I thought Delaware
36:23
Speaker 1: would put up a better showing there, which it looks
36:26
Speaker 1: like they kind of did. I'll have to look into
36:28
Speaker 1: the box score there. MINNAKOUCHI like just destroyed through the
36:32
Speaker 1: air in that one for Delaware. I don't know how
36:34
Speaker 1: they lost that game the way that they did. I
36:36
Speaker 1: don't know, turnovers maybe. And then I thought UTEP sam
36:39
Speaker 1: Houston would be a lower scoring game, like just ugliness,
36:41
Speaker 1: but it was not. So I don't know what happened
36:44
Speaker 1: in those games Tulsa and East Carolina. Though this is
36:47
Speaker 1: a pretty ugly game too. This whatever, this is an
36:52
Speaker 1: American Conference matchup here. East Carolina is sitting at three
36:55
Speaker 1: and three. They're somewhat battle tests. I mean, they actually
36:58
Speaker 1: played pretty well against North Carolina State and Tulane, both
37:02
Speaker 1: on the road. They beat Army it was not terrible,
37:04
Speaker 1: and they lost to BYU at home in what I
37:06
Speaker 1: thought was a bad spot for BYU. So that wasn't
37:09
Speaker 1: a good showing for me East Carolina. But last time out,
37:12
Speaker 1: they played really well against Tulane and they were actually
37:14
Speaker 1: winning in the fourth quarter in this game at Tulane,
37:17
Speaker 1: they were six and a half point underdog, seven point underdogs.
37:20
Speaker 1: It was a big game, man. Tulane's been really good
37:23
Speaker 1: this year, Tulane with Jake Retz Laugh who BYU kicked
37:27
Speaker 1: him out because he had sex on campus but you
37:30
Speaker 1: can't do and now he's lighting it up for Tulane.
37:32
Speaker 1: So BYU with their stupid rules making their football program worse.
37:37
Speaker 1: But East Carolina played well in this game, man, I
37:39
Speaker 1: mean they were again, they were winning in the fourth quarter,
37:43
Speaker 1: they fell behind, they tied the game again with five
37:47
Speaker 1: and five forty eight to go, and then they lost
37:50
Speaker 1: on its touchdown right at the end. Brutal way to
37:52
Speaker 1: lose that game. So you know, I talk about that
37:54
Speaker 1: when you're an underdog in a big game like that
37:56
Speaker 1: and you lose in that fashion, sometimes it is called
38:00
Speaker 1: for you to get back up off the mat and
38:01
Speaker 1: that was another isolated Thursday game that I think was
38:04
Speaker 1: on ESPN or one of the ESPN family. Probably this
38:08
Speaker 1: game tonight's on ESPN as well. So I think it's
38:11
Speaker 1: a tough spot for East Carolina to bounce back from that.
38:14
Speaker 1: That was a big game for them. They almost pulled
38:16
Speaker 1: off that upset, and now they have to face this
38:18
Speaker 1: Tulsa team that really I think East Carolina has owned
38:21
Speaker 1: Tulsa over the last few years. Tulsa has not been
38:24
Speaker 1: a very good program. Tulsa coming into this game actually
38:28
Speaker 1: coming out of a bye. They haven't played since Saturday
38:31
Speaker 1: the fourth, so they had a bye and now they're playing.
38:34
Speaker 1: So I think it's a much much better scheduling spot
38:37
Speaker 1: for Tulsa here. Tulsa they went into that buy on
38:40
Speaker 1: two losses, including one to Tulane by the way, so
38:43
Speaker 1: the I think the public's gonna look at this and say, oh, well,
38:45
Speaker 1: Tulsa got blown out by Tulane by seventeen. East Carolina
38:49
Speaker 1: almost beat Tulane, so of course East Carolina is the
38:51
Speaker 1: better team, and yeah they are, but I just don't
38:54
Speaker 1: love the spot. Man. Tulsa lost to Memphis after that.
38:58
Speaker 1: Memphis is a pretty good team a, Tulsa lost them
39:00
Speaker 1: in an absolute blowout, So I think that's a good
39:03
Speaker 1: time to have a BUYE when you've lost four of
39:05
Speaker 1: your last five games, you've lost two in a row,
39:07
Speaker 1: you go into the buy on a total blowout loss.
39:10
Speaker 1: I think the buy is helpful and I think you're
39:12
Speaker 1: gonna use that buy to fix some shit. So yeah,
39:15
Speaker 1: I leaned to Tulsa in this one. Plus the points,
39:19
Speaker 1: the money seems like it's coming on East Carolina. I
39:21
Speaker 1: don't agree with that. They're out from fifteen and a
39:23
Speaker 1: half to sixteen and a half. It looks like you
39:24
Speaker 1: might be able to get seventeen on Tulsa if you
39:26
Speaker 1: like it. I'm not gonna give it out as a play,
39:28
Speaker 1: but it's actually I was considering it. It's somewhat close, man,
39:32
Speaker 1: I mean East Carolina. Yeah, I mean I think they're Yeah,
39:39
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say about this, but yeah,
39:40
Speaker 1: they're in a bad spot coming off that. I think
39:43
Speaker 1: they're in a hangover spot coming off that big game. Uh,
39:45
Speaker 1: Tulsa coming out of an advantageous buy, So I think
39:48
Speaker 1: the scheduling setup is pretty nice for Tulsa. Sixty three
39:51
Speaker 1: percent and tickets sixty nine percent of the cash coming
39:53
Speaker 1: in in East Carolina. But again I don't agree with that.
39:56
Speaker 1: I would take the points with Tulsa, especially if you
39:58
Speaker 1: can get seventeen on this the key number, and the
40:01
Speaker 1: total is at fifty three and a half. Moving towards
40:04
Speaker 1: the over a little bit, fifty eight percent tickets on
40:06
Speaker 1: the over, sixty two percent of cash on the over,
40:09
Speaker 1: I somewhat disagree with that. I mean, Tulsa, they're really
40:12
Speaker 1: ugly offensively, and they're actually not that bad defensively, and
40:15
Speaker 1: East Carolina is fairly one dimensional offensively. They mostly just
40:19
Speaker 1: throw the football, so I could see it being more
40:22
Speaker 1: of an ugly, lower scoring game actually, which I think
40:24
Speaker 1: could kind of help the underdog in the game as well.
40:27
Speaker 1: I think Tulsa as an underdog, I think is correlated
40:29
Speaker 1: to the under, and that one, which usually a big underdog,
40:33
Speaker 1: will be correlated to the under because it means the
40:35
Speaker 1: points are worth more. So those are my opinions there
40:38
Speaker 1: I would lean to, Yeah, I would lean to Tulsa
40:42
Speaker 1: in that one. And then we do have NFL, which
40:44
Speaker 1: this game has been really difficult for me to read.
40:47
Speaker 1: Steelers Bengals. Here we have an AFC North divisional matchup here.
40:52
Speaker 1: And if Pittsburgh wins this game, with Cincinnati being in
40:54
Speaker 1: second place behind them, Pittsburgh is gonna have a dominant
40:57
Speaker 1: lead in this division. Both teams gonna show op you
41:00
Speaker 1: know that. And we have the crazy battle of the
41:04
Speaker 1: Olds quarterback wise with Aaron Rodgers, who I think is
41:08
Speaker 1: forty two and Joe Flacco is forty. I mean, this
41:11
Speaker 1: is a ridiculous quarterback match up here. But Aaron Rodgers,
41:15
Speaker 1: I mean, he showed some vintage Rogers last week. He
41:18
Speaker 1: actually had some nice passes. One of his touchdown passes
41:21
Speaker 1: was a really tight, like threading the needle type of throw.
41:24
Speaker 1: Rogers looks pretty good still, man, for how old he is.
41:28
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks really good. The Steelers, Yeah, I
41:30
Speaker 1: do think they've overperformed so far, though of course, I
41:33
Speaker 1: mean nobody expected them to be four and one. I
41:35
Speaker 1: don't think they're as good as this four and one record.
41:37
Speaker 1: I mean, Rogers is not putting up like crazy numbers
41:40
Speaker 1: or anything, but they're just they're playing Mike Tomlin football. Man.
41:44
Speaker 1: They're not making a ton of mistakes. They're winning football games,
41:48
Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing. And their offense has been
41:50
Speaker 1: somewhat balanced. Jalen Warren came back, which is not good
41:53
Speaker 1: for me because I've gained well on my fantasy team
41:56
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna gain as well without with Warren
42:00
Speaker 1: back in there. But Pittsburgh, I thought they were in
42:02
Speaker 1: a bad spot last week, even though they were coming
42:04
Speaker 1: out of a bye. I didn't like it because I
42:06
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna be looking ahead with this quick
42:08
Speaker 1: turnaround time, and I thought they were coming off kind
42:10
Speaker 1: of a big win in the London game. They took
42:14
Speaker 1: care of business. They beat Cleveland. That was a close game.
42:16
Speaker 1: Actually at halftime that was only nine to three, so
42:19
Speaker 1: it was looking like one of those ugly games where
42:21
Speaker 1: the underdog is probably gonna cover, but then Pittsburgh was
42:24
Speaker 1: able to score too late touchdowns to push that number
42:27
Speaker 1: and win the game. I think the game statistically might
42:31
Speaker 1: have been a little bit closer than the score looked.
42:33
Speaker 1: Let me see, I mean not really, I guess somewhat.
42:38
Speaker 1: Maybe Pittsburgh outgained Cleveland by I think a little bit
42:42
Speaker 1: less than one hundred yards, but they really held Cleveland's
42:45
Speaker 1: offense down. But it was an easy game for Pittsburgh,
42:49
Speaker 1: So I do think Pittsburgh is gonna show up in
42:51
Speaker 1: this game, because I mean, that wasn't a big game
42:54
Speaker 1: for them against Cleveland. They always beat Cleveland at home,
42:56
Speaker 1: so I think it was just kind of going through
42:58
Speaker 1: the motions a little bit. You get the job done,
43:00
Speaker 1: and now this is a bigger game here in my opinion,
43:01
Speaker 1: although green Bay is gonna be a big game up
43:03
Speaker 1: next too because that's Aaron Rodgers returning to his former
43:10
Speaker 1: home there, which I don't know if he's done actually
43:12
Speaker 1: since he left green Bay. He probably hasn't because he's
43:16
Speaker 1: been in the AFC and they don't usually go to
43:17
Speaker 1: green Bay and he was hurt for an entire season,
43:20
Speaker 1: so it is actually probably Aaron Rodgers return there. So
43:22
Speaker 1: it is kind of a big game for him coming
43:25
Speaker 1: up next. But this is a big game too. Man
43:26
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh wants to seal the division. Cincinnati, of course, wants
43:30
Speaker 1: to do anything to try to stay in the division.
43:33
Speaker 1: At this point is they've lost four games in a row. Now,
43:35
Speaker 1: they've lost every game without Borrow. They actually played pretty
43:39
Speaker 1: well in their last game against green Bay. Green Bay
43:42
Speaker 1: did have chances to cover that though green Bay was
43:44
Speaker 1: winning that game twenty four to ten. I think in
43:46
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and then just pretty much didn't score again.
43:50
Speaker 1: They actually let Cincinnati cut it to twenty four to
43:52
Speaker 1: eighteen near the end. I think, even though I think
43:54
Speaker 1: the Bengals did kind of dominate this game. Yeah, four
43:57
Speaker 1: oh nine to two sixty eight yardage wise, not the Bengals,
44:01
Speaker 1: the Packers, excuse me. The Packers dominated the yard each
44:04
Speaker 1: excuse me. So the Packers probably could have won this
44:07
Speaker 1: game more easily than they did. But Cincinnati put up
44:10
Speaker 1: a nice performance. Man, it kind of hung in this game,
44:13
Speaker 1: which sometimes you want to go against the team when
44:15
Speaker 1: they do that, like when they play really well as
44:17
Speaker 1: a big underdog. They were a double digit underdog in
44:20
Speaker 1: that game. They were within one score late in that game,
44:22
Speaker 1: so sometimes you get a little bit hung over after that,
44:26
Speaker 1: which may be the case here, even though I know,
44:27
Speaker 1: of course Cincinnati is gonna show up. It's a huge
44:29
Speaker 1: divisional game, and usually the home team has a little
44:33
Speaker 1: bit of an edge on the short turnaround time, but
44:35
Speaker 1: when it's a divisional matchup, the home team has less
44:37
Speaker 1: of an advantage because of course the team it's facing
44:40
Speaker 1: them is used to going there, right, Like Pittsburgh goes
44:43
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati every year. The coaches are always like pretty
44:46
Speaker 1: familiar with each other, you know, the teams know how
44:49
Speaker 1: to defend each other, so on these short turnaround times,
44:52
Speaker 1: it's actually it's easier for the the road team to
44:56
Speaker 1: like to prepare for it if they're a divisional road team,
45:00
Speaker 1: and it's easier for the divisional teams to prepare for
45:02
Speaker 1: each other in general because they know each other, so
45:05
Speaker 1: the defense can be prepped a little bit more easily. Interestingly,
45:10
Speaker 1: even though Pittsburgh is a favorite, the money came in
45:12
Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh side, and I actually think it's legit
45:15
Speaker 1: they went up from four to five and a half,
45:17
Speaker 1: like right away, because that's not a key number. I
45:20
Speaker 1: actually think that was actual money coming in on the
45:22
Speaker 1: Steelers side. Like it's not like a false move, I
45:25
Speaker 1: don't think, because like it's nowhere near a key number really,
45:28
Speaker 1: So like what do you like, I mean, unless you
45:30
Speaker 1: think the professionals wanted to slam that up to four
45:34
Speaker 1: and a half just to come back in on the Bengals,
45:36
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, but usually you'll only see something like
45:39
Speaker 1: that around like three and seven, which this is not.
45:42
Speaker 1: It's kind of in the dead number range. So I
45:44
Speaker 1: think it was a legit move on the Steelers. Actually,
45:47
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals might be a little bit of
45:49
Speaker 1: a tougher spot to turn around and play another huge
45:51
Speaker 1: effort game like that. We don't know how good Joe
45:53
Speaker 1: Flacka really is. He was decent last week, but he
45:56
Speaker 1: wasn't like setting the world on fire or anything. But
45:58
Speaker 1: they played really good games a big underdog. Now they
46:01
Speaker 1: have to put in that effort again where they're kind
46:03
Speaker 1: of mismatched. Here fifty four tickets and cash on the Bengals.
46:08
Speaker 1: They almost look like a public home underdog, which is
46:11
Speaker 1: really ridiculous. Usually I would look to a home underdog
46:14
Speaker 1: in a spot like this, right like it's primetime, it's divisional,
46:18
Speaker 1: it's early in the season, although it's not as early
46:20
Speaker 1: in the season anymore. Bread and butter is usually looked
46:22
Speaker 1: on the home underdog. But I actually think this spot
46:26
Speaker 1: might actually be a spot to not take the home underdog. Yes,
46:29
Speaker 1: that's true. That is a good point. Tomlin has a
46:31
Speaker 1: terrible Thursday night record. You're correct about that. He has
46:34
Speaker 1: never won a divisional game on Thursday Night. I believe
46:36
Speaker 1: that is correct. I know he's really bad on Thursday Night,
46:41
Speaker 1: so that is something to keep in mind here, so like,
46:43
Speaker 1: why would you lay points with them on the road,
46:45
Speaker 1: And in this case, the market is saying to do it,
46:49
Speaker 1: and I think the spot is actually a little bit
46:51
Speaker 1: better for the stealers, so I lean that way. I'm
46:54
Speaker 1: gonna put my Thursday Night record on the line here
46:57
Speaker 1: with that. You know, I haven't been wrong about a
47:01
Speaker 1: Thursday Night spread this entire season so far. I was
47:04
Speaker 1: really good on Thursday Night last year or too. I
47:06
Speaker 1: think it took me until like week seven or eight
47:08
Speaker 1: to lose one. I know this is week seven now,
47:10
Speaker 1: so maybe it'll happen. I didn't get one wrong until
47:13
Speaker 1: I think week seven or eight last year. I don't
47:17
Speaker 1: think it was week eight. Well, I don't know. One
47:19
Speaker 1: of those weeks was my win on the Rams because
47:21
Speaker 1: I remember I was at bro Grove two because we
47:24
Speaker 1: were watching that game with Top Lobbs's father for a bit,
47:28
Speaker 1: the Rams against the Vikings. I remember that was one
47:30
Speaker 1: of my plays. I want some money on that game
47:32
Speaker 1: that night. Yeah, but I think it was a legit
47:37
Speaker 1: move on the Steelers. So I'm gonna just I'm gonna
47:39
Speaker 1: agree with it. Just generally, I think they are the
47:41
Speaker 1: better team. They have the better quarterback, like at this point,
47:45
Speaker 1: even though I know he's the older quarterback, he's just
47:47
Speaker 1: in better form. And there was a reason why the
47:50
Speaker 1: Browns were just okay with letting Flacco go. I mean,
47:53
Speaker 1: part of it is that they just he's not like
47:55
Speaker 1: part of their future plans and the Bengals just needed
47:58
Speaker 1: a quarterback right now, so it's kind of a mutually
48:00
Speaker 1: beneficial type of situation. But yeah, I don't know, man,
48:04
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bengals, they just have They've been really
48:07
Speaker 1: really bad since losing Joe Barrow. It just seems like
48:11
Speaker 1: kind of the wheels just fell off. So yeah, I mean,
48:14
Speaker 1: that's my opinion on the game. I'll lean slightly to
48:16
Speaker 1: the Steelers, even though it sounds ridiculous with Mike Tomlin there,
48:20
Speaker 1: with it being a road favorite like this, but it
48:22
Speaker 1: is again easier for the U road team to do
48:25
Speaker 1: this on a short week on Thursday, where they're used
48:27
Speaker 1: to going to that venue. It's a very short travel
48:30
Speaker 1: spot going for Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, so they're definitely used
48:33
Speaker 1: to it, and they are the better team. Even though
48:36
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh is kind of overvalued. I'm not giving
48:39
Speaker 1: it out as a play obviously, there's no way, but
48:43
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh, yeah, even though they're a little bit
48:45
Speaker 1: of overvalued, probably because of their hot start to the season. Yeah,
48:49
Speaker 1: I mean I think this particular matchup, everybody just kind
48:52
Speaker 1: of sees it as, oh, well, now Cincinnati has a
48:54
Speaker 1: decent quarterback with Joe Flackoh this is like a divisional
48:57
Speaker 1: battle where these teams like always battle each other. I'm
49:01
Speaker 1: not so sure that's gonna be the case in this one.
49:04
Speaker 1: So those are my thoughts on that. My only play
49:07
Speaker 1: today once again is Winnipeg minus one thirty five. I
49:10
Speaker 1: do like Tulsa plus the seventeen in the college football
49:14
Speaker 1: game too. That would be close to a play for me.
49:16
Speaker 1: And then, as I mentioned in hockey, there was one
49:18
Speaker 1: other one that was very close. What was it. I
49:22
Speaker 1: like Edmonton quite a bit in hockey, man, So there's
49:25
Speaker 1: that one as well. And then what was the other
49:29
Speaker 1: one that I don't know, I think that was That
49:31
Speaker 1: was the main one that I was at that I
49:32
Speaker 1: was looking at there. Yeah, edd Edmonton would have been
49:35
Speaker 1: the big one I think as far as that's concerned. Yeah,
49:40
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna do it. Yeah, learned it on
49:45
Speaker 1: Twitter and learn it Tod on Instagram, like subscribe to
49:49
Speaker 1: the channel here on YouTube, man better off dead, let's
49:51
Speaker 1: get these numbers going. We're on audio as well. Reviews
49:55
Speaker 1: helped me out there, listen and review on Apple and Spotify.
49:58
Speaker 1: That helps me out is my yuke channel where I'm
50:02
Speaker 1: starting to hook it up in streamyard. So I gotta
50:04
Speaker 1: start doing some like request hours there. Yeah, I mean
50:08
Speaker 1: I keep saying I'm gonna do it. I gotta start
50:10
Speaker 1: doing that. And then patreon dot com sas learn to toad,
50:12
Speaker 1: I gotta keep that up to date too. I know
50:15
Speaker 1: there's a yuke feed there for Patreons and uh prioritize
50:20
Speaker 1: requests as well. So that's that's about it, and then
50:26
Speaker 1: I will be uh recording with Jose I believe tonight
50:29
Speaker 1: we're doing we're starting a new series for our well
50:32
Speaker 1: starting a new uh book in our reading series, although
50:35
Speaker 1: it's more of a pamphlet. We're gonna do a Rothbarn
50:38
Speaker 1: anatomy of the State, which I've read multiple times before,
50:41
Speaker 1: but we'll do it on the show. It'll probably be
50:43
Speaker 1: like a few episodes and we'll get that one done. Uh,
50:45
Speaker 1: So that's starting. I think we're recording that tonight and
50:48
Speaker 1: then patreons of Jose. No way, Jose get that first.
50:51
Speaker 1: And then I believe he releases the episodes to the
50:54
Speaker 1: public like a week later or something. But that's gonna
50:57
Speaker 1: do it. Man, learn to tow it everywhere. Jeff, thanks
51:00
Speaker 1: for hanging out. You're the only one I appreciate it. Man,
51:02
Speaker 1: you keep coming back even though I'm a total asshole.
51:05
Speaker 1: I'm retired. This show is retired, and I don't know
51:08
Speaker 1: why you like it so much, but thank you. Man.
51:11
Speaker 1: Mister Thursday Night, yeah, you can call me that, I guess. Yeah.
51:14
Speaker 1: And Steve Merrill one of the handicappers on wager Talk.
51:17
Speaker 1: He's actually really good in the Thursday night games as well.
51:21
Speaker 1: He's been really good again for some reason, He's been
51:23
Speaker 1: really good on the Thursday Night games. He does like
51:25
Speaker 1: videos on every single one of them. I'm good on
51:28
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night games as well. I think more often
51:31
Speaker 1: than not I do agree with him, but sometimes I don't.
51:34
Speaker 1: I think in this game he might have given out
51:36
Speaker 1: an opinion on the total instead of the side. I
51:38
Speaker 1: don't remember what his opinion was on it, but that
51:40
Speaker 1: video's public. It's up there somewhere on wager Talk, which
51:43
Speaker 1: has a lot of good information up there. Yeah, I
51:47
Speaker 1: think that's about it. Yeah, And I think he gave
51:50
Speaker 1: up one other total earlier this season, but I think
51:52
Speaker 1: it was a game where he actually gave out a
51:54
Speaker 1: total and a side and got them both right. So
51:56
Speaker 1: I think he's undefeated on Thursday and his Thursday Night
51:59
Speaker 1: opinion as well. Unfortunately for me, I've only made one
52:03
Speaker 1: of them a bet the Dallas Cowboys plus the points
52:05
Speaker 1: in Week one, which was a winner. But we'll see, man,
52:09
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be another Thursday Night play that
52:12
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out at some point, but we'll be
52:14
Speaker 1: back tomorrow. I think there's one game that I like
52:17
Speaker 1: quite a bit on the college football board tomorrow, so
52:19
Speaker 1: I might have a college football play tomorrow night to
52:22
Speaker 1: kick off the college football weekend. I'll have at least
52:24
Speaker 1: a few on Saturday, and obviously NFL will continue on Sunday.
52:28
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of plays on the NFL card
52:31
Speaker 1: as well, we will, so stay tuned for that. Obviously,
52:35
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night will have the College Football Show be back
52:38
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning to talk about whatever's going on with the
52:40
Speaker 1: Friday slate, which I think is a bit of a
52:42
Speaker 1: light card, but there is. I think there are probably
52:44
Speaker 1: like five college football games tomorrow, though, so have to
52:47
Speaker 1: dig into that be back tomorrow man piece for now,
