  Okay, let's do a little check in with the boys. Chris, how are we doing this week? How are you
• 1:09
  feeling? How's your wallet? How's everything? I know it's the All-Star game, I know there's only
• 1:17
  the dub today, as you experts put it. Care to share anything about that?
• 1:26
  Yeah, I mean, this is the worst part of the betting calendar. Yeah, All-Star game yesterday
• 1:35
  as of timer recording. I did all right. I live bet the AL when they were down 3-0,
• 1:41
  so that was fun. They came back in one. Home Run Derby, I was terrible, had four bets, went
• 1:47
  0-3-1. The dub going on right now, 0-2 in my first two bets, but Caitlin Clark, she needs to pull
• 1:59
  off there for your boy. Who could care about betting at a time like this? This week sees the
• 2:07
  release of the greatest sequel follow-up, whatever you would call it, of the most anticipated piece of
• 2:17
  media in years. Twisters 2, or Twisters, comes out on Friday, starring Glenn Powell.
• 2:27
  Oh, yes. Get your tickets now. It's gonna be fantastic. I can't wait. I pre-ordered my tickets,
• 2:37
  so I can't wait. I can't wait for Twisters, starring Glenn Powell in theaters everywhere, July 19th.
• 2:45
  Not a sponsor. Nothing else I believe is happening on July 19th. So clear your schedule. Go to the
• 2:56
  theater. Take your best gal. Go to the theater. See Twisters, starring Glenn Powell.
• 3:04
  Your best one. Your best gal. Hard to be sad when Twisters is coming home.
• 3:13
  Oh, yeah. That little football game is also...
• 3:17
  There you go. Yeah, but obviously Twisters is fine, but yes, College Football 25 is coming out,
• 3:29
  is out, depending on what your status is of ordering it, and it's impossibly sad in times
• 3:35
  like these, because College Football is back in our video game lives, and I'm over the moon.
• 3:44
  Hell yes.
• 3:45
  So that's how I'm doing. Hell yes. Sean, how are you doing?
• 3:53
  Yeah, I'm doing great. I've been not retired for this past weekend. Just taking trend centers plays
• 4:06
  and just dropping nukes and walking away and withdrawing almost every time. It's great. Fantastic.
• 4:18
  Oh yeah, just dropping fucking... Except for last night, which was not a trend center play.
• 4:26
  It was more of a group chat play. No run first inning in the All-Star game. Got a little sweaty
• 4:33
  at the top of the first, but that cash dropped a nuke on it, essentially paid for the College
• 4:43
  Football 25. As soon as that won, I withdrew and I bought the game immediately. I was going to buy it
• 4:54
  anyways, but I was like, okay, well, this is justifiable now. So yeah, things are good right
• 5:04
  now. I'll say just keep following. I think this is the perfect time to really get on
• 5:10
  trend center and just look through their college... I'm sorry, I got college ball in the mind.
• 5:16
  Just look through their MLB picks. It's cash money. I mean, some of them are... The lines are
• 5:27
  a little juicy, the money lines, but just nuke it, responsibly, just nuke it. But
• 5:34
  you'll come out, you'll be all right. Yes, responsibly. These are not guaranteed wins.
• 5:47
  These are just picks based on math and science and history, unraveling the mystery. All started
• 5:54
  with the big bang. I'm sorry, that just immediately just popped into my head.
• 6:00
  It was weird. Okay, I was gonna say you went through all the school subjects. Like, what about
• 6:08
  literature? He was doing the big bang theory things. Okay, okay. Well, no attitude.
• 6:19
  Not a fucking nerd. I don't watch that show. It shows for everybody. That's what people don't
• 6:24
  understand. Yes. I mean, yeah, I haven't really been betting this much this week, but it's a
• 6:37
  decent week in the personal life. Yeah, great. But college football, this new game comes out and
• 6:46
  you know, spoiler alert, this week's show is mainly going to be about college football and also the
• 6:54
  game. I mean, we're just gonna dive into that. I haven't been able to play it yet, but we're gonna
• 7:02
  dive in a little bit of that. And I was looking, we were doing some futures today with college
• 7:11
  football and I was, I'm really not in the college football kind of brain set. I was just looking
• 7:19
  at all these teams. I'm like, I have no idea what to think about these teams from a betting
• 7:26
  standpoint. So I was like, all right, so I kind of start with the big teams, but we don't have to
• 7:32
  get into that immediately right now. But yeah, how are we gonna kick this off?
• 7:39
  What is this game seems incredibly realistic? Like we were playing it before, before we started
• 7:47
  the pod and it looks like real life. You know, it's insane. Yeah, it does. Yeah, I played, I
• 7:59
  first played it today. It was my first time playing it Wednesday for a little paint behind the curtain.
• 8:05
  Yeah, it was incredible. My first game, I played with Tennessee because I wanted to beat up on some
• 8:14
  chicken shit team, which I didn't really do that. I only went by like 10. But just seeing
• 8:21
  like the players come out of it, which it's not specific for Tennessee, but like any team when
• 8:26
  you see like the players coming out of the tunnel, it's, I hate to be like this guy because I remember
• 8:34
  back when I was a kid playing video games and like one of my parents would come to the room and
• 8:38
  they'd be like, whoa, this looks like real life. And I'd be like, okay, it really doesn't. But I
• 8:44
  guess compared to what you're used to, it looks like real life. But it looks like real life.
• 8:53
  Like when you see players rolling through the tunnel, a lot, they have a lot of like the pre-game
• 8:57
  traditions like built in like Tennessee running through the tee, like Clemson, Touch on the Rock,
• 9:02
  all that shit. It's like, I feel like I'm watching some sort of pre-game. Like I hate to, I sound
• 9:11
  like a very old person, but I, it looks so realistic. It's so fucking cool, dude. I love this game so
• 9:22
  much. I agree of just the fact that, you know, your parents who walk in and be like, oh my god,
• 9:30
  this looks like real life. This actually does look like real life and it plays like real life.
• 9:37
  I mean, everything from like, if you're the opposing team to the stadium hype, like,
• 9:43
  that'll get you messed up. That will make you call the wrong play or the wrong play will be
• 9:49
  called, I don't know, like, but some, some trickery is bound to occur with the stadium hype and it's,
• 10:01
  it's real. I'll just go ahead and say, Chris and I played a match or a game today before,
• 10:10
  right before we started this, Chris just wonked on me 60 to seven. I think I threw four
• 10:19
  interceptions, two pick sixes, the two or one. One pick six, but yeah, I think before the four
• 10:29
  interceptions. Yeah, it was, it was real rage and, you know, like that happens in college. It happens.
• 10:40
  So I, I can't wait to dive more into this because that's really the only, that's the second game
• 10:50
  I've played. But I can't dive more into this. I mean, it's, Sean, I'm, I'm so incredibly excited
• 11:02
  for you and you as well will to experience like a dynasty mode with like, because Sean, you're,
• 11:09
  you've said, you're going with Colorado State, Will, Western Michigan, you're doing it the right way,
• 11:15
  you're going to struggling, quote unquote, programs, rebuilding them. That is how it's
• 11:20
  supposed to be. I am incredibly excited to see y'all's journey in this game.
• 11:27
  Oh, it's going to be completely frustrating. It's not going to be fun, but I am excited to do it.
• 11:35
  Yeah. Very excited. And I'm, I have selected San Jose State. It's,
• 11:42
  FCS West gave me a run for a little bit there. I'm not getting a lot. I was the second game I played
• 11:49
  just in general with the game on the game. And I was like, what the hell is happening? Because
• 11:55
  in CWA 14, you schedule an FCS, whatever, or FCS, whatever, you hang 70 in the first half if you
• 12:03
  want to. Yeah. And this one, this, this one is like, okay, we're, it's a little, we got a game.
• 12:13
  We got a game on our hands. So it's, it's going to be, it's going to be awesome. And I'm excited to
• 12:21
  experience it or watch you guys experience it. Can I, can I ask what you named your coach?
• 12:28
  Yes. Catfish slaughter. Okay. How did you, how did that name come about?
• 12:37
  I had one of my guys on one of the old MLB road to the show guys, I named him Catfish slaughter,
• 12:45
  because I already did one as Chris Walker. So I was like, I need to think of one of like a fun name.
• 12:52
  And I just went through all the names that like the computer could say, and there was Catfish.
• 12:57
  And I was like, okay, gotta get, that's an awesome name. Gotta get like a cool last name. And then
• 13:01
  slaughter. Oh, this is perfect. So I just carry that name throughout. Like anytime I don't want
• 13:08
  to use my name, I use Catfish slaughter. So, so yes, I am the OC at San Jose State. We are currently
• 13:17
  one in one, beat FCS West lost in embarrassing fashion to Air Force through four interceptions
• 13:26
  and lost by a touchdown. Okay. But yeah, that's how we're doing. It's fun. So,
• 13:34
  again, when you, when you choose your coach name, do you have to choose like the pre selected names
• 13:40
  because they say him or no, no, no, they don't say him. You can, you can do whatever you want.
• 13:47
  Okay, I know, I know exactly what name I'm going to, I'm going to pick now. Yeah.
• 13:51
  Oh, it's gonna be okay. What is it? So Corinthians Thompson. Oh, God, that's a cool name.
• 14:03
  That's a cool name. The Corinthians. I feel a little lame.
• 14:08
  Why did you do Sean Dixon? No, I didn't do Sean Dixon.
• 14:13
  I did, I did Tommy touchdowns. I thought that'd be, I thought that'd be funny. But
• 14:18
  okay, there it is. He is, he is as tall and as fat as you can make your player. And I didn't like
• 14:30
  that you couldn't customize like the face. So I just chose the ugliest dude that I,
• 14:36
  that I could just Tommy touchdowns. I feel the, I feel the judgment.
• 14:44
  You should know I that's yeah, I mean, that's bad, but it's bad, but it's hilarious. It's
• 14:55
  I was looking for a like a bad name like I don't know how to put this, but like
• 15:04
  I don't know. You can take the L now I just want to delete. I just want to delete my dynasty and
• 15:09
  just rename him now. Absolutely not. No, I need a week by week update on how Tommy touchdowns
• 15:18
  is like, yes, it is stupid, but I need to know how Tommy touchdowns is doing at all times.
• 15:28
  I thought, I thought this was going to go a lot better than
• 15:31
  I named my coach Tommy touchdowns. What do you guys think? All excited.
• 15:40
  We're like, do John, that is an amazing name. Why did we think of that?
• 15:50
  No, I take, I'll take the L for no, the remainder of my dynasty. It's an L. It's an L. It's okay.
• 16:00
  Well, when Tommy touchdowns wins the national championship with Colorado State, you'll have
• 16:05
  the last laugh. Yeah. Sure will. I yesterday at work, I was bored. So I made a randomizer
• 16:19
  wheel and that's how I chose my college football team. And of course, I didn't put every
• 16:27
  single college football that's like Division one college football team in there. That would have
• 16:31
  been insane. That would have been a lot of typing. Yeah, but I, I just did two separate wheels, which
• 16:42
  were the conferences in Division one that aren't that aren't the power five spun it.
• 16:51
  Group of five is what that's called. Okay, well,
• 17:00
  got the Mac. And then I was like, okay, it's a Mac team. The best, honestly. And then I spun it
• 17:07
  again with all the teams. Western Michigan. Here we go. I don't even know their mascot. Broncos.
• 17:14
  Broncos. Go Broncos. Let's go. I'm Kalamazoo, Michigan. Corinthians Thompson. New hot OC.
• 17:25
  He's coming. He's coming for him. I'm excited. Yeah. I fun fact, I've never really played
• 17:37
  a football game before. I've played a I played a retro bowl on my phone. I'm very good at that one.
• 17:48
  It's like a eight bit. It's like an eight bit like football game, like an NFL style.
• 17:55
  It's actually really fun. It's fun. Yeah, it's fun. Not hating on ice. I've never heard of it.
• 18:01
  So yeah, you can like draft players and sign players and you have a cap and it's
• 18:07
  it's like a pretty watered down like GM mode that you also play as the as the team. And you
• 18:15
  don't play defense. It's pretty fun. You can get through a season real quick. But I mean, other
• 18:23
  than that, I think I played some some Madden game on my on my phone for a little bit. And then I was
• 18:31
  like, this is I don't want to do this on my phone. And so I just stopped. So this will be like my first
• 18:40
  football game, not just Madden, not just college football, but like football game. So here we go,
• 18:49
  boys. Hell of a time to get into it. Hell of a time. I have a I did look up today on TikTok,
• 18:59
  like what the general consensus was. And it seems like the general consensus is this might just be
• 19:06
  the greatest sports video game of all time. That's that is the consensus I'm I'm getting, honestly,
• 19:14
  like the the realism behind, you know, I I told Sean this last night. But I was listening to the
• 19:24
  radio. And one of the one of the hosts told a story about how he was playing the game. He
• 19:31
  he started as Vanderbilt's third quarterback, and was like played throughout the whole season,
• 19:39
  won the backup. And then he in the last game of the season, they're playing LSU. And starter gets
• 19:48
  his he tort tears his Achilles, and he gets thrown in to Death Valley at LSU. And so what what ended
• 19:56
  up happening was he threw a pick six on his first play. It seems like that's a pretty common thing
• 20:01
  that happens. Everyone throws a pick their first play throws another pick, those another pick,
• 20:10
  those like six picks. And it's like, Yeah, like he said that, you know, whenever the play started,
• 20:20
  players were not going where they were supposed to go. Like the lines for the routes were
• 20:28
  not happening. And the the just the stadium noise was taking was taking him out of it. And he's like,
• 20:36
  that sucked. But that's actually what happens when you're an 18 year old kid,
• 20:43
  and you win the backup job and you get thrown into Death Valley, playing for Vanderbilt. And it's like,
• 20:51
  that's crazy. So yeah, I've seen I saw a TikTok the other day, it was a guy who was going to be
• 21:02
  like a he was doing the Rotoglory mode. And it was like, he was going to back up corner or whatever
• 21:09
  at Alabama, I think he was like lining up for his like first drill and like practice, he's like,
• 21:14
  All right, time to put the claims down. And the guy just blows by him every single time. He's like,
• 21:21
  Oh, wow. This game is hard. It's real. So I have yet to dabble into the Rotoglory mode.
• 21:30
  It seems like it's going to be infuriating, which I appreciate that. But also it's gonna piss me off.
• 21:36
  I know it is. So I'm going to wait until I'm actually kind of get a game to try that. But
• 21:43
  yeah, it's it's going to be it's going to piss me off. I know it is. And because it's because it's
• 21:49
  an amazing game, because it's incredibly realistic. I also saw a tech doc today that was like,
• 21:55
  if you don't keep your GPA up, like you get kicked out or you lose your scholarship or
• 22:04
  or something. And it's like, you don't have to like go to class, but you have to like, you know,
• 22:08
  click the button to go to class. And like, you know, it's, you know, but but like that also goes
• 22:16
  into like, you know, if your GPA is higher, that unlocks stuff for like running extra plays or like
• 22:26
  getting getting the coach's trust or something or, you know, it's like, it's really intuitive.
• 22:36
  What I might do is wait until I get this could be a while, but wait until I get like actually
• 22:42
  good and to just only play road to glory when I'm drunk and just Johnny football it and just be
• 22:49
  like, I'm never going to class. I'm just going to parties. And then I go out on Saturday and throw
• 22:55
  eight touchdowns. That'd be awesome. I think that that might be the move.
• 23:02
  Could be the move could be. Eventually, I just I just get like cut and have to like start for
• 23:08
  FCS like northeast. But I think that would be a lot of fun. It's just only playing when I'm hammered
• 23:18
  and just doing college things and just like, you know what, let's see what happens. I pretty much
• 23:26
  do that with my own college career. Might as well do it with a.
• 23:28
  I was, I was, I didn't want to be mean, but I was like, like, isn't that kind of what you did?
• 23:37
  But like, you got it together. You got it together. You got it together.
• 23:41
  I want to live my normal how I live my college life. But if I was just a phenomenal.
• 23:50
  But just a five five star quarterback. Just yeah, I want to live out Blue Mountain State
• 23:57
  is what I'm saying. Yeah, I got it. It's not a bad. I don't think that's that's a bad thought.
• 24:03
  That's a bad thought. I think that could be really fun. Now I'm excited.
• 24:08
  Now that's like my main motivation. Get good so I can get away with being like having a 1.2 GPA.
• 24:17
  But yeah, well, I don't go to fucking like biology, but I threw six touchdowns against LSU. So what do
• 24:24
  you want? So do you guys hear that story? Do you guys kind of have mapped out where you want to go?
• 24:35
  Like where, you know, you're starting at San Jose State. Chris, like, do you have an idea of like
• 24:43
  where you want to go after that? No, I don't think it's really up to us. It's really not.
• 24:50
  You kind of once you get like good, you go into like, or actually, I mean, after every year,
• 24:57
  you can go into like the coaching. It's called the coaching carousel. At least it was on the old
• 25:00
  game out enough. It is on this game. And you can if you want to pick a new job, you can go to a new
• 25:04
  job. Or if you want to stay, you can stay. Obviously, I always stay if I'm rebuilding some
• 25:11
  dog shit program, no offense, San Jose State. I like to stay at least like
• 25:16
  I wanted to go like to the ceiling because I think on NCAA 14, the only one I didn't really win like
• 25:23
  a national championship with was MTSU. I got there a couple times, but I just could not win.
• 25:31
  So after like the second loss I left for like, I think it was Minnesota, as some like, I never want
• 25:38
  to leave to like, Georgia, or someone that's like amazing at the time, go to like a, at the time when
• 25:44
  I went Minnesota, I guess it's still ours, like a whatever big 10 team. So like, yeah, go to like a
• 25:50
  whatever Power 5 team, build them up into a dynasty and then just rattle off five national
• 25:56
  championships is the goal. But yeah, take San Jose State as far as I physically can is my main goal
• 26:04
  right now. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I don't know how you guys feel about this, but I
• 26:12
  and it's not going to happen, especially now, but I really hope that this like they don't,
• 26:21
  they kind of don't release another college football game next year. Like I just want to keep
• 26:29
  playing this one, like we just, you know, ran NCAA 14 into the ground until like it was time to put
• 26:37
  it to bed. Like I, I want to keep going like on this game. So I don't want to get tired of it,
• 26:47
  I guess. I don't know. I don't want it to you want to you want to play out your dynasty, which
• 26:53
  could take especially if you have multiple ones could take longer than yeah years. Yeah, could
• 27:00
  take years. Like real time years going back to MLB Road to the show. I played on the
• 27:06
  show. I played on 19 for a very long time just because I was writing out career mode.
• 27:14
  Right. I was like, why would I get another game when I I'm playing what I want to right now? So
• 27:22
  I guess, I mean, I guess, I guess the option there would just not to be the to buy the the next one
• 27:31
  that comes out. So but yeah, I don't know. I'm not saying that I want, you know, another 10,
• 27:39
  11 year gap between games because that's ridiculous. But I would like for like every,
• 27:46
  you know, two, three years, like take your take your time with it. Like they obviously
• 27:52
  took their time with this game. I mean, I think they announced it like three years ago, maybe two.
• 28:02
  I can't remember exactly, but it seems like they they took their time and it's very attention to
• 28:08
  detail. And I just don't want the next one to just be a pile of crap. You know what I'm saying?
• 28:15
  Yeah. I mean, this one has already it's not even like officially out yet, I guess you could say
• 28:23
  it is already made a ton of money. So they're probably going to make one every year. Yeah,
• 28:29
  I mean, it's EA. I mean, they make they make a new FIFA NHL, NBA, and NFL like they make a new one
• 28:38
  every single year. And it's the same. It's the same thing every single year. So honest,
• 28:44
  like I am if this game, like if the other games are as like just the same as this, I'm just going
• 28:52
  to play this one until whenever I feel like not playing it anymore. Yeah. I played in NA 14 on
• 29:00
  the Xbox 360 up until two days ago. So I mean, I think the argument could be made that
• 29:14
  NCAA 14 was the most perfect sports game out there. And up until this point, I think it's
• 29:27
  still yet to be determined. But I think that you the argument could be made for
• 29:34
  NCAA could be the greatest sports game of all time. I mean, that argument can definitely be made
• 29:40
  because because we played it for 11 years. But then you can also say we didn't have a choice.
• 29:47
  Yeah, you could. But then counter that, you'd be like, okay, yes, but I still had an amazing time.
• 29:55
  Yeah. I mean, it was in less, in less amounts of fun. If this game, if this game just were to
• 30:03
  never exist, like no rumor of it, nothing to ever happen with it, I would play NCAA 14 until I was
• 30:09
  dead. That's like, I just I would keep my Xbox 360 solely for NCAA 14 and I would play until I was
• 30:18
  dead. And then eventually, that would be like the, you know, the highest, like that game would cost
• 30:29
  thousands of dollars eventually in the future. Oh, yeah. Easily. Like I think I looked up in
• 30:37
  CAA like 14 during COVID or something. And it was already like 250 bucks for just like a used copy
• 30:46
  on eBay. And I was like, Jesus, that's ridiculous. I mean, you can't get anywhere else. I know. That's
• 30:52
  yeah. Yeah. But it is dumb that you pay like that anybody would pay that much for a, I guess at the
• 31:00
  time a seven year old game. But yeah, I mean, people pay more for a lot older games. That's
• 31:08
  very true. I can't, I really can't wait to really, for this weekend to really just deep dive into it.
• 31:19
  Me too. Like I'm gonna, this weekend alone, I'm gonna log many, many hours
• 31:26
  to put it conservatively on this game.
• 31:33
  Oh, yes. Say something, Will.
• 31:36
  No, I mean, like, it's, it just seems to go on from your point there, Sean, where you hope you,
• 31:44
  we don't get another one for a while. It's just because there is so much to this game,
• 31:57
  like to this game and even NCAA 14, like there's just so much. Was there like,
• 32:06
  I don't know, I don't know if you tested these limits yet, Chris, you probably have, but
• 32:11
  is there like a limit on like the amount of years you can do on a dynasty or?
• 32:20
  I mean, maybe there is. The farthest I ever got was like the 2030s, which for a game that came out
• 32:29
  in 2013 is a long ass time. There is like a trophy you can get. I think it was to be a 50 year
• 32:39
  head coach. I don't know if, yeah, I don't know if it lets you go any further than that,
• 32:47
  but so you could do it at least 50 years. Are you talking trophy is in like an achievement
• 32:54
  for the get like the thing that like pops up on the game? Like it, it was either like a trophy
• 33:01
  you get in the game or it was like an achievement like, like, it was like an achievement. Either
• 33:07
  one, I forget what it was. I never sniffed that because I would just after a while when I would
• 33:14
  just get bored of winning so much. All right, let's start rebuild the fucking another one.
• 33:22
  Well, I mean, that game like for as perfect as the game as it is, when you get to like
• 33:31
  to play it over and over and over again, you know what to do to be the game.
• 33:36
  Right. So it's like, okay, yeah, it's like, I haven't lost the game like three years, like
• 33:43
  I need something to like a challenge to get the competitive juices flowing again. So let's,
• 33:49
  let's rebuild Yukon or fucking whoever. So yeah, but yeah, 50 years was the I think was like the
• 33:59
  maybe the max, I don't know, but 50 years was the only like
• 34:02
  cap, I guess, for a lack of a better term, you could say that I saw in that game.
• 34:10
  So I'm looking up the, at least the PlayStation like trophies, which are like, you know, the
• 34:15
  achievements. There's only 15 of them, which I kind of hate. I feel like they could have made
• 34:23
  more like, because there are some that are like, throw in 80 yard passing touchdown. It's like,
• 34:30
  you know, you could make more trophies like that with like cooler plays, I guess, but
• 34:37
  the highest week, the highest one you can get is besides, you know, platinum, which is collect all
• 34:46
  all the trophies is compete in any matchup across all 134 teams, which I'm not going to do that.
• 34:56
  I'm just telling you right now, that's for this one. Yeah. Yeah, that would be if they don't come
• 35:04
  out with another game for another 11 years. If the NIL deal like goes away. Yeah.
• 35:15
  And we don't get another one for a very long time. It's like, maybe I'll do it, but
• 35:20
  I don't really see myself, you know, trying to accomplish that task at the moment. That would
• 35:26
  be, I mean, if this game, if this was the NCAA 14, and let's say that like that was an achievement
• 35:34
  on that game. I mean, during COVID, that would have been a hell of a time to do it.
• 35:39
  Yeah. So we need another pandemic. Just give us some time.
• 35:56
  We joke. We joke. We joke. There were parts that were like, yeah, that was pretty cool.
• 36:03
  But yeah, there were there were times during the pandemic where we were, we just talked about this
• 36:12
  too, privately, but we were betting on simulated NHL games. Yes. And that was, I remember this so
• 36:26
  vividly. And I was like, it was a great time. I had a great time doing it. But I remember asking,
• 36:32
  I was like, is this is this helping you, Chris? And then you were like, it scratches the itch.
• 36:40
  And yeah, I mean, I was like, yeah, I had to do something.
• 36:49
  And you also have to remember in the in the pandemic, well, like the middle of the pandemic,
• 36:58
  from like March till like the end of the summer, Tennessee did not have legal sports betting yet.
• 37:06
  They got that later on in the year. So that was kind of more or less my first introduction to
• 37:14
  like gambling with the boys off of Nichols and Dimes off of some simulated NHL game. And we would
• 37:21
  just randomize the teams. And it was like, all right, I got the red wings minus one and a half.
• 37:26
  Like, yeah, simpler times. And, you know, that's why I say we need a new pandemic. Just just give
• 37:35
  us simpler times again. It was a lot. That was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun.
• 37:42
  Just hanging out. We also played that quarter, the quarters game with the from the last dance that
• 37:48
  MJ would play with Jerry, the security guard. That was infuriating. I hate that game. So mad.
• 37:59
  It was fun though. I wouldn't trade for anything. Well, that's not true. But it was not even for a
• 38:07
  million dollars that I could gamble on quarters. But no, it was a lot of fun. Yeah. Just we just need
• 38:22
  time. I wish this game came out on like a holiday weekend or something. That would have been perfect.
• 38:28
  Just give us like a three day weekend. Just run through the game. That's all.
• 38:36
  Yeah. Yeah, that would have been nice.
• 38:40
  Oh, well, we have to play it on a normal weekend.
• 38:45
  Oh, boo. Okay. Moving on from the NCAA 25 video game. Now we're going to go to our
• 38:57
  2024-2025 NCAA win total future picks. Because you know, tis the season. Tis the season.
• 39:11
  The game is here. We're probably going to, you know, dabble a little bit more into college futures.
• 39:16
  Because I'm pretty sure we've kind of done every single, I guess, category of NFL futures. But I
• 39:23
  do. But we are circling back on the NFL futures. I have a win total ready for later. But let's dive
• 39:34
  right in to these college win totals. I only have one. So I'm going to throw it to one of you.
• 39:42
  And y'all are going to go first. Okay. I'll go. Real quick. Chris, how many do you have?
• 39:50
  I have two good ones. Okay. I have three, but we'll save those for another day, I guess.
• 40:01
  Wait, you just want to do one a piece then? Yeah, let's just do one. Sounds good.
• 40:08
  All right. So we're going to take a ride with the devil himself. And I hope he doesn't have any
• 40:17
  open containers in his car. Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State Cowboys. I'm taking them to win over seven
• 40:26
  and a half games this season. If you look at their schedule, almost every game is a toss up with
• 40:34
  Arizona State, Arkansas, Baylor, BYU, Colorado, Kansas State, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, and West
• 40:43
  Virginia. That's a lot of, that's like, I think like 10 teams that could be a complete toss up.
• 40:51
  But that's the beauty of the Big 12. I also think it's worthy to note that Mike Gundy has never won,
• 40:59
  has not won fewer games than seven regular season games since 2018. And hasn't won fewer games
• 41:07
  than, hasn't won fewer than six since 2005. I like the risk on this one. It's at minus 120,
• 41:16
  a little Jewish, but I think it's worth throwing a few bucks on. So give me Mike Gundy's Oklahoma
• 41:22
  State Cowboys over seven and a half wins for the regular season. Will, what's third to you?
• 41:29
  So my one college football future, and let me just double check if I wrote this down correctly.
• 41:42
  Oh, I did not.
• 41:46
  Way to go.
• 41:46
  This is actually pretty juiced.
• 41:53
  But I'm going to go with it anyway, because I'm not as well versed in college football as
• 41:57
  the other two of y'all, I would say. So I'm going with a big team. I'm going,
• 42:05
  I'm going Alabama. I'm going under nine and a half wins minus 142.
• 42:13
  And yeah, it, so let's, so I mean, they, you know, there's teams that they're obviously
• 42:21
  going to stop, but when we're talking about teams that are probably not going to stop,
• 42:32
  lose against Georgia. I think Tennessee is a toss up. I think, I think they're probably going to lose
• 42:38
  to LSU and there, there's the iron bowl. That's always crazy. That's a toss up. And also, I mean,
• 42:51
  Nick Saban's gone. Like he's this, this is going to be a weird period in Alabama football. It's,
• 43:00
  they're still going to be a good team because they have good players. I don't know much about
• 43:06
  their, their, their new coach. If I'm going to be real, I also don't know his name, didn't care to
• 43:13
  look it up. And I think they're going to lose a game outside of the games that I mentioned.
• 43:25
  Because it's, it's just bound to happen. Nick Saban's gone. And they're going to lose,
• 43:33
  they're going to win nine games. They're going to win nine games. And all of the fans in Alabama
• 43:40
  are going to shit their pants. And just because they're just not used to this.
• 43:47
  I don't think it'll be like a huge upset that they'll probably lose. I mean,
• 43:52
  you know, depending on what kind of game South Carolina puts together, Missouri sometimes comes
• 43:59
  out of nowhere. I mean, they play Oklahoma. They'll probably win that one, but it is in Oklahoma.
• 44:07
  Could happen. I don't know. I out of the, the three, the, the two losses I mentioned,
• 44:14
  and the two toss ups, they're going to lose a game outside of that. And that's, that's my pick.
• 44:23
  It's, it's Bama under nine and a half wins minus to 142 on fan duel. It's pretty juiced because
• 44:31
  I mean, I guess everybody else has the same thought as me, but yeah. But Chris, what, what,
• 44:37
  what do you got? Before I get into mine, I want to just say the general consensus I've seen from
• 44:47
  Alabama fans, like social media message boards and stuff is like, if they go nine and three,
• 44:52
  all things like, they'll be fine. And I call bullshit. It's easy to say you'll be fine with
• 45:01
  going nine and three. When you lose that second game though, oh boy, especially if it's someone
• 45:06
  you're not supposed to lose to. I mean, they're going to, those fucking hillbillies are going to
• 45:13
  riot. They, they're not, no college football fan base is rational, but no, they, they have had
• 45:24
  just the world handed to like, they have had everything given to them because they had
• 45:32
  the best, the best college football catch of all time. And now he's gone and they're coming
• 45:36
  crashing back to reality. So they can say they're fine with nine wins now. They're not going to be,
• 45:43
  they're going to win nine football games. That is my prediction and the world, their world will
• 45:49
  burn and they're going to be calling for people heads on, heads on the stick after that happens.
• 45:56
  I think it's a good pick. It's a transitional period. DeBoer is a, is a good coach.
• 46:03
  That's his name, Will. Kailin DeBoer. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Coach Washington last year.
• 46:09
  Coach Washington last year, national championship appearance. He is a good coach. I do think,
• 46:15
  I remember that. I think it, I think the transitional period is the biggest part of this pick.
• 46:23
  And I, I think the assessment of nine and three is correct.
• 46:31
  Yeah. I just want to pull your schedule quick because do they go to Oklahoma? They go to somewhere
• 46:38
  that's tough. They go to Oklahoma. They go to LSU. They go to Tennessee. They go to, is this
• 46:46
  Wisconsin game? The true road game? Or is that Wisconsin? That's, I mean, Wisconsin's not very
• 46:54
  good and on paper they should blow them out. But going to Madison early in the season, 11am kick,
• 47:00
  that's not a gimmie. New coach, that's not a gimmie. Yeah. I can't remember the last time
• 47:06
  Alabama played a true road non-conference game. That's a, that's a game to keep your eye on.
• 47:13
  September 14th. That's a game to keep your eye on.
• 47:16
  This was Georgia the next week. Look ahead. Oh, the bad, oh, oh, oh, I like the Badgers already.
• 47:24
  That's going to be a goofy, Bama's going to be like minus two and a half or something. That's
• 47:30
  going to be a weird. I mean, I can't wait to bet Wisconsin. Oh yeah. I mean, Western, Kentucky,
• 47:39
  South Florida, Mercer, those are all, you know, guaranteed wins for pretty much, pretty much any
• 47:48
  SEC team, except maybe Vandy on Western Kentucky. Maybe. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, yeah, like you
• 47:57
  said, they go to Oklahoma, they go to Death Valley. They, did they, they lost LSU last year, right?
• 48:05
  I can't remember. I think so. I think they did. Was that the overtime? I think that was the
• 48:10
  overtime game. Oh, they won against LSU. They won. They won. They won 28. They won a 42 to 28.
• 48:21
  Do you know that off your dome or did you look that up?
• 48:23
  Oh, I just have it right here. Oh, I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking about then. But
• 48:29
  yeah, no, I like that. Well, they're going to win nine games. I mean, at Tennessee, they almost
• 48:34
  lost to Arkansas last year. Yeah, I think, yeah, Tennessee is, it's the perfect, like,
• 48:42
  I mean, Knox was going to be rabid. And yeah, yeah. And if Alabama does lose that one, and then
• 48:48
  they go on to be fucking amazing under DeBoer, then their fans will be like, well, that one didn't
• 48:54
  count because it was his first year. And that's what they're going to say. But I like that. Well,
• 49:02
  I like nine wins. I think, or I like under nine and a half. Is there, if they can, if there's a
• 49:09
  bet for them to finish at nine wins exactly, I would like that a lot. Probably on a Fadal.
• 49:16
  Yeah. I just, I just say that because Fanduil has a lot more options. No free shout outs,
• 49:26
  obviously, but they do have a lot more options than just draft Kings or MGM.
• 49:35
  I'm looking to see if I can find one right now. I only see when totals on. Yeah,
• 49:41
  you're right. Yeah. All right. I'll just, I'll just go into mine then. So, wait, wait, see more.
• 49:46
  Yes, Chris. I love it. All right. The Indiana Hoosiers, the Indiana Hoosiers were dog shit
• 49:54
  last year. They were terrible. One of the worst Power Five teams in the country.
• 50:00
  New team this year. Their win total is set at five and a half.
• 50:04
  Now, what if I told you there is a non, there's actually a pretty realistic chance. They could
• 50:13
  start out six and a half. They have, I would, I would say you're correct. Just pulling up their
• 50:20
  schedule here. Their first six games, FIU, Western Illinois at UCLA. That's a tough one.
• 50:28
  Indiana, going to California. UCLA is not that good. That's a toss up. That's a toss up.
• 50:36
  Charlotte, Maryland is terrible at Northwest. Let's say at worst, I think at worst, they go
• 50:46
  five and one, if I'm being honest, because they have three cupcakes and then
• 50:53
  they have to win two of UCLA, Maryland and Northwest. Maryland and Northwest are terrible.
• 51:04
  Yeah. I think UCLA is really the only toss up there just because, and I have this
• 51:11
  other school in the big 10 that I want to, a win total that I want to mention,
• 51:18
  but this is really the first year that these schools or like a school in New Jersey is playing a
• 51:25
  school in Southern California. And it's like, yeah, it doesn't make any fucking sense, but we'll get
• 51:36
  into it next week. I'm sorry to cut you off, but yeah, I'm interested to see how this travel works
• 51:44
  and how it affects the players. Me too. And that's why I think, yeah, going to California,
• 51:51
  that's a weird game, but whatever. Let's say they go five and one. Their next, the back half of their
• 51:57
  schedule, hold on, that's Alabama's. The back half of their schedule is pretty brutal. They have
• 52:05
  a lot of, they go through the meat of the big 10, but they do finish with
• 52:11
  um, rival Purdue. And I think Purdue is going to be terrible. So let's say they go five and one
• 52:19
  through those first six games, which I think they will. Um, they end with Purdue at home,
• 52:28
  revenge game, because last year Purdue, I think kind of stopped them if I remember correctly,
• 52:34
  but I really like this Indiana team. Um, like I said, one of the worst Power five teams in
• 52:40
  college football last year, they bring in the JMU coach, Kers Ignetti has never lost more than seven
• 52:47
  games in his head coaching career. Um, they bring in, um, crap, who was that? This is where I wish I
• 52:55
  had, I had an article pulled up and I lost it. Um, they have a, yeah, they have a transfer
• 53:03
  quarterback coming in, transfer quarterback coming in from Ohio, whose name escapes me off the top
• 53:08
  of my head. He was the Mac player of the year last year. He's coming in, Perum with Signetti.
• 53:13
  I think this team wins easy six games. Oh, uh, Tyler, Tyler Cherry. No, no, no, no. No, no,
• 53:21
  it was something Rourke. Curtis, Curtis, Curtis Rourke, Curtis Rourke. Yeah. Out of Ohio. Yeah,
• 53:29
  he was a ranked Mac offensive player of the year, I believe. Um, Perum with Signetti, this team is
• 53:35
  winning six games. I think it's minus one 20 on draft Kings last summer. Is there, is there line
• 53:41
  six or is there line five and a half? It was five and a half last summer check. Okay. Did it move?
• 53:47
  I don't know. Um, I, I, I see, I see this more with, uh, college win totals that, you know, they
• 53:54
  just have six or seven and they don't have a half. So I was just curious. It was five. Let me
• 54:02
  pull it up right now. It was five and a half last summer. I checked, uh, six. Honestly, I still take
• 54:08
  it because I feel like at worst you get a push. I mean, yeah. And honestly, like they play Washington.
• 54:18
  I mean, what they could, they could be Washington because they, I mean, Washington lost everyone.
• 54:25
  We talked about them just losing their coach. I mean, they lost everyone that was worth a
• 54:29
  shit on that team last year. So I think, I mean, Indiana could catch them. So yeah, I, I really
• 54:37
  like, it's weird to say, I'm really high on Indiana this year. They're not going to win like eight games
• 54:43
  or like go to the big 10 championship because they're the back half their schedule is pretty
• 54:47
  brutal. They play Ohio State and Michigan, I believe, but, um, I like them. They'll win six
• 54:53
  games. They'll get, they'll go bowling. I like them a lot. Yeah. I, I like that too. I can see it now.
• 54:58
  You know, uh, weeks one through four, they're four and oh, uh, come back home. Maryland's playing,
• 55:06
  you know, they're, that's college game day. You know, like, yeah, that's that's college game day
• 55:14
  in Indiana. Like,
• 55:18
  where's their Wento? Hold on.
• 55:19
  This isn't looking, but anyway, five and a half, six, whatever it is, I like up to six. I like
• 55:28
  six and a half. Then you're kind of, you'll need, you'll need an upset and that's, that's never fun.
• 55:34
  But yeah, up to six, I really like Indiana. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. That's our, uh, that's our win
• 55:43
  totals. I guess we'll have some more next week. Um, now let's move on to, uh, to the NFL.
• 55:49
  Now we have some NFL win totals. Um, we, uh, we, I mean, we're all drinking at a bar last week.
• 55:57
  We were like, dude, we can't think of a new, a new category to go off of here. And so we're
• 56:05
  running it back. We're starting from five or six weeks ago or however, however many, uh,
• 56:12
  many category plays we got. So we're doing win totals again. Who, who wants to go for, you know
• 56:18
  what? I will go first. Well, I will go first on this win total. I just want to be clear is like,
• 56:24
  okay, I thought I was prepared to put a lot into, uh, college picks this week. So, uh, we could have
• 56:34
  done some other NFL, like, you know, some sack leader or like some defensive or like, how many
• 56:41
  points a kicker will get or whatever. Like we'll, we'll do it, but I thought that this would just
• 56:49
  be the easier option since we were very college focused this week. But we will have picks of,
• 56:57
  you know, MVP, Super Bowl, uh, all that most of the awards probably, except probably, I mean,
• 57:06
  maybe not comeback player of the year, but I don't know if we can do it. We can do whatever,
• 57:10
  but I thought this would be, because we usually do a couple of these anyways, right? Like I,
• 57:17
  I usually have a couple of win totals per year anyways. Yeah. So, yeah. Oh yeah. Um,
• 57:28
  so may I, may I go? You may go. Thank you for asking. Oh yes. Thank you. You're welcome. Um,
• 57:36
  so couple of weeks ago, we were picking the, uh, the, uh, the division, a division winner,
• 57:48
  a division winner future. And my pick was the Packers would win the NFC North at plus 185.
• 57:56
  I also have the Green Bay Packers over nine and a half wins at minus 138. Listen, I went
• 58:07
  through this schedule. This team will get 10 wins easy. I'm counting 11 wins,
• 58:16
  five toss ups, and one guaranteed loss.
• 58:19
  And I will go through this for you. I'm saying, wait, no, that's two losses.
• 58:31
  Oops. Uh, they're playing, playing the Eagles. That's a loss playing the Colts,
• 58:38
  the Titans and the Vikings. Uh, those are three wins. They're three and one. They play the Rams,
• 58:45
  call the toss up. They're playing the Cardinals. That's definitely a win. Texans, Texans are hot
• 58:50
  right now. That's a toss up. Uh, they're playing Jacksonville. That's an easy dub. I have them
• 58:57
  splitting with the Lions, so they're going to win one and they're going to lose one. Um,
• 59:03
  I've got them winning both games against the Bears. Uh, they, they, uh, they're, they're
• 59:08
  probably going to lose against the, uh, the 49ers. Um, they play the Dolphins. That's a dub.
• 59:14
  They play Seattle and New Orleans. Um, those are dubs. And then, uh, the last, uh, last time they
• 59:22
  play the Vikings, I'm calling it a toss up. Um, so when they play the Vikings, they're definitely
• 59:26
  going to win one. And then the second one's a toss up. Um, that's, that's 11 wins. That's five
• 59:33
  toss ups. And that's two losses. Like that's, that's easy. They've only gotten better in the
• 59:42
  off season. They signed Josh Jacobs. Um, hopefully Andre Dillard won't have to play left tackle,
• 59:48
  uh, because then this pick will be dead.
• 59:51
  Boom. Um, yeah. Boom. He is a bum. And I mean,
• 59:59
  last year was kind of Jordan loves, kind of coming out, show, party, whatever, whatever you
• 1:00:06
  call it. And now he's, this is, this is where he establishes who he is. Um, you know, I'm not a
• 1:00:13
  little Jordan love guy, but I do think he's a pretty good player. Um, and so yeah, that's what I
• 1:00:19
  got. Green Bay Packers over nine and a half wins minus 138. I think that's a great pick. Uh, Sean,
• 1:00:27
  you go. Next. Okay. Um, I just want to say, uh, I think the Green Bay Packers have done a great
• 1:00:36
  job at developing Jordan love. I mean, sitting him for four years was absolutely the move.
• 1:00:47
  So, especially after all the shit they kind of got, like, why would you draft this guy when
• 1:00:54
  you still have Aaron Rogers for however many years? Yeah, they, it was the correct move. Uh,
• 1:01:00
  yeah, this team is in pride position to, I mean, I've seen some like sexy, dark horse, Super Bowl
• 1:01:06
  Picks. Yeah, they're, they're one of like the, the trendy Super Bowl picks, you know, like,
• 1:01:13
  the, yeah, like you said, the dark horse or yeah, when you, when you don't want to say like the 49ers
• 1:01:18
  or I can't believe I'm saying get the Lions, the 40, yeah, yeah, the Packers are who you think.
• 1:01:25
  Right. Okay. Well, um, I'm going to go with, uh, the New England Patriots under four and a half wins.
• 1:01:38
  Um, dude, have you looked at their schedule? I have not. I'm eagerly waiting this description.
• 1:01:48
  It is kind of brutal for like this team that is obviously in a transitional period and
• 1:01:57
  trying to rebuild like, I mean, Jesus Christ, week one, bang at Cincinnati, facing the bankers.
• 1:02:06
  That's just week one. L L. Yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Yeah. He Hawks in Foxboro. They go to the Jets. They go to San Fran.
• 1:02:20
  Host the Dalthans. Host the Texans. Go to Jacksonville. Host the Jets. Go to Nashville. Go to Chicago.
• 1:02:30
  Go to the Rams. Go to Miami. Host the Colts. Go to Arizona. Face the Cardinals.
• 1:02:43
  Go to Buffalo. Host the Chargers and host the Bills. I mean, this is a, this is a pretty hard
• 1:02:51
  schedule for this team. Um, I think that getting rid of Matt Jones was the best move for them.
• 1:03:03
  But, uh, handing over the quarterback position to Jacobi Bresset or and probably Drake may,
• 1:03:09
  um, just you're not going to win five games. Uh, this, they just seem like they're heading for
• 1:03:20
  another top five draft pick. Uh, this is a total tank year. Um, this is a league low of a win total
• 1:03:32
  at four and a half. Um, no easy games. I think it's doubtful that they win four of these games.
• 1:03:43
  Doubt. Yeah. I mean, it's, they don't even have that Belichick factor now where it seems, it seemed
• 1:03:52
  like not, not so much on the tail end of, of his tenure there, but it seemed like there was a period
• 1:03:59
  like right after Tom left where they had Matt Jones and it was kind of like they still kind of had
• 1:04:06
  the, we're still the Patriots, just not those Patriots. Well, it's like, it's, it's, you don't
• 1:04:16
  have Tom, but you still have Bill. That's the, that was the mindset and now they don't have either.
• 1:04:23
  Okay. So yeah, like it's kind of when up in the air really, it's, it's not good.
• 1:04:34
  I think a perfect example of that. I think a perfect example of, of the Bill Belichick factor
• 1:04:40
  is when they played that snow game against the bills and they just ran it up the middle
• 1:04:48
  of the entire time. Matt Jones only throw it like four times and they won. He, he throwed it.
• 1:05:01
  Yeah. He throwed it. Yeah. He throwed it. Yeah.
• 1:05:07
  Whole four times and they won that game. That's the factor when, when they still had Belichick,
• 1:05:15
  even though time was gone. But now that's gone. Yeah. They're, they're probably going to be
• 1:05:20
  one of the worst teams. They're just a normal, terrible team now. Like there's nothing special
• 1:05:26
  about them. Yeah. They're just, they're down to earth now. They're, they have crashed into the
• 1:05:37
  earth. They have made a crater mile wide. Yeah. A crater. Chris, what you did?
• 1:05:46
  Do that one more time? Do that one more time? No, this is the, this is the
• 1:05:54
  the big crater. Chris, what you picked? Okay. So I do not remember if I gave this out when
• 1:06:04
  we first talked about wind totals because that was such a long time ago. So in case I did,
• 1:06:09
  I have another couple of college football features to make up for it just in case. Okay. So
• 1:06:16
  all three are actually plus money. So my NFL wind total feature is dolphins under nine and a half
• 1:06:22
  plus one 15. I like it. I was looking at that. I don't like them. I don't like them at all.
• 1:06:29
  I didn't like them last year when they were beating the shit out of all these terrible teams.
• 1:06:34
  I do not like them. They are the third best team in this division. Like they just are.
• 1:06:43
  The defense or defensive coordinators have an, have like a full year of tape on this.
• 1:06:49
  What was supposed to be otherworldly Mike McDaniel offense, which turned out to be like,
• 1:06:53
  oh, you can only be the Broncos and teams like that. They didn't really add anyone of no,
• 1:07:03
  like they added Shaq Barrett and like Jordan Poirier who were like fine, but also old and
• 1:07:11
  like coming off of injuries. So it's like whatever their non-divisional schedule is kind of a gong.
• 1:07:18
  They got Jacksonville. They got to Seattle. The Titans go back there and we know what happened
• 1:07:23
  last time the Titans were in Miami. One of the most historic upsets of all time. They go to Indy,
• 1:07:31
  to LA, the Rams that is to Lambo at Houston, San Francisco at home at Cleveland. Brutal.
• 1:07:40
  You're, I mean that with like their pretty tough vision other than the Patriots who
• 1:07:46
  like, well, or like Sean said, are terrible. You're telling me there's 10 wins there? I don't buy it.
• 1:07:52
  So plus money, plus 115 on draft Kings. I give me the dolphins under nine and a half wins.
• 1:08:00
  And just in case I gave that on the off chance, I gave that out last time we talked about wind
• 1:08:05
  totals like a month and a half ago. I have two group of five teams that can make the college
• 1:08:13
  football playoff in 2024. One group of five team is guaranteed to make it in the 12 team playoff.
• 1:08:20
  So number one, these are both plus 400 on draft Kings. Number one, Boise State. They are the,
• 1:08:30
  I love Fresno. I love Fresno State. Boise State is the best team in the mountain.
• 1:08:34
  They just are. They are returning a lot of guys. They're returning the running back
• 1:08:38
  who rushed for 1300 yards and I believe like a lot of touchdowns last year.
• 1:08:45
  They're returning their best defensive end. I like them a lot. They have names are escaping
• 1:08:52
  right now, but they have the USC quarterback, USC transfer coming in who is the top recruit in 2023
• 1:08:59
  going to be the quarterback. I like them a lot. I think they're going to win the mountain west.
• 1:09:04
  So if they win the mountain west, I believe they will be the best group of five team.
• 1:09:09
  They might not be on paper. She has a mountain west is very competitive. So that's plus 400
• 1:09:16
  by the way on draft Kings. If they don't make this the college football playoff, the only other
• 1:09:21
  group of five team that really has a chance is Liberty also plus 400. Liberty is going to go
• 1:09:27
  undefeated again. They're scheduled as dog shit. They went 13 and 0 easily last year.
• 1:09:36
  They only had two games that they won by a single digits to like that's insane.
• 1:09:45
  I didn't even know they went undefeated. Yeah, they went 13. Well, they went 13.
• 1:09:49
  One if you count their bowl game where they got just stomped by Oregon.
• 1:09:54
  But I didn't they're going to make it like I almost said they're going to make it back,
• 1:10:00
  but they're going to be undefeated because they're they don't play any tough non-conference games.
• 1:10:07
  They're their toughest non-conference game is Appalachian State.
• 1:10:13
  And like, would you be surprised if they won that by two touchdowns? No, no, they returned their
• 1:10:20
  quarterback who their quarterback was like the best player on the planet last year.
• 1:10:26
  He led he led conference USA and Russian as a quarterback.
• 1:10:32
  Yeah, he rushed for like 1500 yards. This guy, I mean,
• 1:10:37
  they're I don't think they're going to win a game, but they're going to make it.
• 1:10:41
  And if I hate like they're not going to be better than Boise, but they will have they will probably
• 1:10:49
  have a better record than Boise. So I think you take either one of those plus 400, you're going to
• 1:10:55
  make money. So there you go. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Going back to the the Dolphins real quick. Is that
• 1:11:05
  Titans game another Thursday night game? Did they play Thursday night last year? Because I see it's
• 1:11:12
  it. Oh, Monday. Okay. Because I see it's at 6 30. And, you know, the Titans only have one
• 1:11:20
  prime time game this year. And it's a Thursday night game. So I think it is the Dolphins.
• 1:11:27
  Titans are September 30th, six o'clock. Let's see what September 30th. That is a Monday night.
• 1:11:36
  No Monday night. Okay. Run it back. Run it back. I love it. I mean, and unlike take like the whole
• 1:11:46
  the monumental choke job that the that the Dolphins had last year, which
• 1:11:51
  we all need to talk about was the biggest choke job in history. Take that out of it.
• 1:11:58
  The Titans could be like, they are good enough to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins are not that good.
• 1:12:05
  The Dolphins are sexy. They have fun. They're fast. They have a good offense. Cool. Their defense
• 1:12:10
  is shit. I don't count on Tuo to stay healthy whatsoever because he was pretty healthy last
• 1:12:16
  when was the last time in his like football career since high school that he was healthy for two
• 1:12:21
  consecutive seasons. I can't name one. I just I don't buy it. I I'm not buying into like whenever
• 1:12:30
  there's like some new hip team that's like, oh, this offense is going to change the game. They don't.
• 1:12:36
  They just don't. The Dolphins are not going to win this year. I think the Dolphins hype is over.
• 1:12:46
  Like I do think their their window has closed more or less. I think this is their last chance.
• 1:12:55
  Yeah, you you could you could say that and you know, people could agree with you.
• 1:13:04
  I I don't know. It's like I like I like Mike. I think he's a good coach.
• 1:13:12
  He's fun. He's cool. He's fun. He's cool.
• 1:13:16
  I don't think he's a good coach. Yeah, I don't I I don't think he can get you there.
• 1:13:23
  I don't think he he had he he has had the roster for like three years now.
• 1:13:33
  And it's just nothing to show for it. I think he'll be fired in a couple if they don't do something
• 1:13:42
  sit like win like me full playoff games, he'll be fired in two seasons. Yeah, I don't I think he is a
• 1:13:49
  phenomenal offensive coordinator. I don't think that coach. I think he's a great football mind.
• 1:13:57
  I I think he fits a role as OC better than HC. I agree 100%.
• 1:14:06
  But yeah, I think that I think the Dolphins are completely overrated. A lot of people were
• 1:14:14
  picking them to win the division last year. Don't think that happened.
• 1:14:21
  No, they're a wild card. Yeah, if memory serves correct, I don't think that happened.
• 1:14:27
  They lost like the coldest football game ever. Yeah, which I mean, I don't care. I don't care where
• 1:14:37
  you play. That's hard. That's hard to do. You know, like playing a game on like the moon,
• 1:14:46
  they're not being the chiefs. They just yeah, you can't. Yeah. I mean, I will I will say
• 1:14:53
  not to mention that they do have basically a brand new defense. They literally didn't
• 1:15:01
  re-sign anyone on their defense like and like I mean, their defense. Their defense wasn't
• 1:15:09
  bad last year. A lot of guys got hurt, which and then they just yeah, they brought in
• 1:15:17
  like like poye and check bear are the only like notable names and they're not like
• 1:15:23
  if this was three years ago, fantastic science. But now it's like, okay, they could be serviceable, but
• 1:15:29
  they like they're they're just not good enough. The dolphins as a whole are just not good.
• 1:15:36
  Yeah, and they never will be to be honest. They won't. I mean, they won't.
• 1:15:43
  Okay, I think that's a good spot to wrap up here the pod this week. Thank you so much for
