  Speaker 2: to tell you above that. I just don't want to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: do this anymore. I have never seen anything like this.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Man with the slump continuing. Two straight losses, not a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: good day at all. Own four, I have not had
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a good season.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: slump continues, I've.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: browins hack Man, I don't know what is going on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with the Bruins arch hape? Is that what it is?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I don't even know it's it's March ninth, I think

  Speaker 2: yesterday it did not go well for me. Own five.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: The worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: years doing this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: To the slump yesterdays, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody, It's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: towed back with you for Toadstool Sports, Monday, January fifth.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We had a huge day on the show yesterday. I mean,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: we're continuing where we left off at the end of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, I guess because the beginning of twenty
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: twenty six has been.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Good as well.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yesterday it was awesome, obviously, three and all with the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: NFL plays, all of them outright winners. You could have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gotten at least four on all of them. Didn't even
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: matter though, obviously because they all went out right. New
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Orleans got a little bit dicey. But I mean, when
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you a situation where Atlanta only scores nineteen points or
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: whatever it was, it's pretty unlikely they're going to really
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: cover that number most of the time.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Although we needed a back door cover.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: At the end of that A late touchdown from New
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Orleans after shock almost shucked us by throwing a pick.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I think when they were down I think they were
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: down two when he threw a pick, and then they
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: were down nine, and then they did get the touchdown
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to cut it back to two, so we were able
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to get the cover.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Actually, that one didn't outright win. What am I saying?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Why did I say they all went out right?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: No?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: New Orleans did not win out right, but they covered Detroit,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: no sweat, they went out right. That line was up
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to about four as well. Detroit almost blew it. They
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: had a sixteen nothing lead going to the fourth quarter.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm still telling you this Bears team is not that good,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and I don't know how, like how the Bears keep
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. They got two touchdowns and two
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: two point conversions really late to tie the game, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: then Detroit one anyway with a field goal they got
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: into makeable field goal range. I kind of questioned Dan
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Campbell's play calling at the end of that because usually
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be like the most aggressive dude, and it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: seemed like he kind of took his foot off the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: gas at the end when they had some time to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: run some more plays, and I'm thinking, well, get a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: little bit closer, like make this a more makeable field goal,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Like we're in Chicago, it's cold, Like you're looking at
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like a forty yard field goal here, Like, let's run
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the ball a couple more times.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Well, they only had I think they had two time
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: outs left at the time.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you doing? Like, I don't know.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It seemed like they just stopped and they were like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: let's just set up the field goal here. Take the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: rest of the time off the clock on. It seemed
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit odd, but whatever, they baits made the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: field goals.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: So that was good enough.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Plus you know, you know me with my frustrations with Chicago,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: so I was happy about that. And then we got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the win with these Steelers as well. I didn't see
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: how the game went, although I know they were losing early,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and then I know they I think didn't give up
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: another touchdown. If they give up a touchdown early in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the game, I think they didn't even give up another
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one until late in the game. And it did wind
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: up coming down to Baltimore attempting a forty something yard
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: field goal to try to win the game by one
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: point late. But of course we were gonna cover regardless,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but the field goal missed and Pittsburgh has now made
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Oh and with New Orleans loss, I apologize
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Bay fans. With New Orleans loss, yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that means Carolina is in the playoffs, and.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Dude, they're the team everybody's gonna make fun of. Man.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, Like I wanted to take Carolina
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: just on instinct, basically in the first game, just because
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they're that team that everybody's like, Oh, everybody wants to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: play this team.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be so easy.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately they drew the Rams, and the Rams already
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: lost at Carolina once, so I think the Rams won't
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: take them lightly.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, still it still might make sense to take
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Caroline in that game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's a very unfortunate draw.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I think from a handicapping perspective, like I'd rather have
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Carolina catching some team that didn't play them in Carolina
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this year probably, or some team that annihilated them that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: will think it's.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Gonna be easy again. That would be awesome. But whatever,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So Pittsburgh won. Congratulations to them.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That line was up to four and a half a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: game time with these NFL plays, I should keep clarifying that,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: like you can pretty much wait up until game time
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with most of the NFL stuff that I do, because
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm fading the public in most cases, especially that night game,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you pretty much knew the public was gonna be on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the Ravens side, even though it looked like some of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the professionals kind of were as well. But I'm like, eh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I liked the spot, and yeah, again, when the public
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: comes in, the NFL is like the only sport where
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the public can actually affect the lines at all.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So usually if you're.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Fade in the public, you can usually get the best number,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: like close to game time. So just something to keep
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in mind. Could have had like a little bit more
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: value on some of those numbers. College basketball was good
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: at two and zero. Southern Illinois outright win there. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: think it was a wire to wire cover from them.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I was only briefly checking the score on that one,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: so I didn't see, but like every time I looked,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they were like winning by a small margin.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, they won the game by one, all right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It was a low scoring game, seemed like it went
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: our way. And then Saint Mary's. Maybe we got a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: little lucky on that one. Uh, they started out slow,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they were actually losing the game early in the second half,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and they were still not covering later in the game,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Like they hadn't been winning by margin until really late
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in the game in Seattle. Seattle didn't score for the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: last like two minutes of the game, and Saint Mary's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: didn't take their foot off the gas and they just
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: kept scoring and they wound up winning by seventeen. But
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the game was a little bit closer than that, although
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you look at the stat sheet, I don't know how
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's didn't even like, I don't know how the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: game was even close in the middle of the second
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: half because Saint Mary's, like it looked like they should
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have won way more easily. The only real outlier in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the game was that Seattle had very few turnovers, like
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: four or five turnovers, but Saint Mary's only had nine,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: so very very low turnover rate in the game, completely.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: On both sides, so I don't know that was a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: little bit weird.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's absolutely dominated the rebounds in the game, so
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they didn't run away with that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: game more easily.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Than they did.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Both teams were pretty hot shooting in the game, but
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's wound up getting the cover even if you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: got the worst numbers, because that number was gone, like
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: right after I gave it out on the show ten
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and a half, it was already like twelve. But I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: guess lucky for us, they covered every one of those numbers,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit dicey man to take Saint Mary's.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: We did lose.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The one loss was the hockey play, and of course
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: my second favorite hockey play did win Florida. Wait, yeah
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it was Florida, right, I think it was. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Florida beat the Avs.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I think right.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That was my second favorite play, and the Devils did
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not get it done for us.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: They lost three to one. The game was.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Fairly close statistically, they got slightly outplayed in the game
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and they lost. And then we won by Nets whispering
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on the the NBA game. Easy win, blowout, outright win
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: for the Nets. So we got that one right against
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that Denver I believe, right against a jokic list Denver team.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So we'll move on to today. Today it's a.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Small board, but I got a decent sized card today.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have one college play college basketball because college
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: football doesn't resume. I think it's a Wednesday one hockey
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: play that I like quite a bit, and then NBA
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: three plays and there's one that is close to being a.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Play as well.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I like the NBA board today a lot, and hopefully
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we can win on the NBA because of it. So well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it. Tyson, what's up man? Thanks for
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: hanging out.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Kyle, what's up? Yeah?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, as long as I'm on the side that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is rigged. Yeah, Steelers scored twenty six in the second half?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Did they?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Because I know they were down seven to nothing. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: then the next time I checked the score because I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was on Jewels Great Pill Show and I didn't have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the game on over here, And the next time I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: checked the score, Pittsburgh was winning like thirteen to ten
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or something, So I was like, okay, So I don't know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It didn't seem like they went on they were.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It didn't seem like they were down by that margin,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: except for when they were down seven to nothing.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Although I could be wrong.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Saint Mary's and I wouldn't say it was a huge comeback.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think, what were they losing by like four six.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had to go on a huge run
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to cover. But yeah, Saint Mary's definitely the better coached
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: team there have. They still have what's his name, Randy Bennett.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's his coach, been there a long time.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Very well coached Saint Mary's team. Although the discipline was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: good on both sides in that game, like very few turnovers.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think I saw what the halftime score was,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: but somebody in the chat said it was seven to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: nothing Ravens towards the beginning of the game. Then after
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the show was done, I checked the score and it
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was like thirteen to ten, or maybe it was still
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: during the show.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't think they had zero
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: at the half. I can look.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, you know, I usually have to look
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: at the box scores. I want to look at the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: box scores eventually, just so I could see how the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: game really played out. Baltimore was winning ten to three
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: at the half, and then Pittsburgh was winning thirteen to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: ten at the end of the third quarter.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So that's the score that I saw. So yeah, okay, So.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was losing by that margin for the entire first half.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Baltimore didn't really score a ton. So that's that's how
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it played out, all right. We'll get into today.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Today. We do have some college basketball. We have.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of smaller conference games. My play is actually
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in one of the bigger games, and you probably know.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: What it is already.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It is actually probably the biggest well, I don't know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can argue it's either the biggest or.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: The second biggest game.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think it might be the better of the two,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the more competitive of the two. We do have Columbia
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and Cornell starting early ish at five pm Eastern for
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, and this is the IVY League. Beginning the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: IVY League has had no conference play yet, so the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: IVY they do weird things, man, And they didn't have
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a conference tournament for a while either, where now they
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: have a four team tournament to decide the winner of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the conference at the end instead of just the regular
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: season winner, so that there's some additional competition there.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it pisses me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Off the conference tournaments because chaos can ensue and the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: best team a lot of times won't represent the conference
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the actual tournament. But if you look at this
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the records for these two teams here, Columbia's eleven and three,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Cornell is seven and six. But you know what I'm
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about to say, Cornell is actually the favorite in this game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So it's another one of those situations where you get
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to this point of the season basically all you've had
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is non conference play so far, and teams can have
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: had wide varieties of like how difficult they're out of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: conference schedule was, And I think it's pretty obvious that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Colombia's was easier than Cornell's wasn't again, that was the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: case last year too, and then Columbia.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Columbia looked similar to this last year.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: They had a really good record going into conference playing
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: then they completely fell apart. So I don't know if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that's gonna happen again this year. But the oddsbeakers are
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: telling you that actually Colombia is only like the slightly
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: better team. Basically, Cornell is a two and a half
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: point favorite.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: There's no real situation to look at here.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think both teams are think just being a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: non Division one team or something. So I would lean
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to Cornell just because it looks like the line just
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: looks very sketchy, like it looks way too easy to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: take the team with the better record as the underdog.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I think Cornell is Cornell. To me, Cornell might even
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: be the better team. Like I'm not sold on Columbia
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: at this point at all, because when have they ever
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: done anything.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Cornell is a two point.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Favorite here, up from one eighty three percent of the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: tickets ninety eight percent of the cash on Cornell. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: don't think this is really a game getting a lot
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of public action, even though it is kind of this
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: isolated early game where if people can't help themselves, if
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they have no control, maybe they'll jump in and play
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this game. But I think most of what we're seeing
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: here in the market is probably more so professional money there,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and I do not disagree. I would lean to Cornell, Nebraska,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and Ohio State. This is gonna be my play. If
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you want to give off the play right away, I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do it right now. Nebraska is at number thirteen
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in the country. Ohio State unranked, but Ohio State is.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I think ken Bum has them somewhere in like the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: thirties ranking wise, Like this is an Ohio State team
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that could definitely make the tournament this year. Let's just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: put it that way. Right now, they're looking like a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: bubble team. I don't have the bubble boy drop though,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: but if I were to guess right now, I would
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: guess Ohio State will.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Make the tournament this year.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: But we will see they have a little bit of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: an edge and that there are a known program.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So some of these name.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Programs just sneak in even when they maybe shouldn't. Although
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I think Ohio State might be good enough to get in.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But this game is at six thirty pm Eastern Fox
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Sports One. You probably already know what I'm gonna do
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: in this game. I'm gonna lay it with Ohio State
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: minus two and a half.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I think you might have to lay three on This.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Might concern me a little bit because yes, Nebraska is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the better team, so you're really relying on situation plus
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Ohio State's home court advantage here.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: But I think Ohio State gets it done.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I know I've gotten caught a couple of times recently
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: laying points where my favorite one and didn't cover. So
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: if you want to go money line, you can, but
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the money line's probably about minus one fifty on this.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I still wouldn't say no to doing that because I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: think Ohio State's gonna get the thing done here now.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's one of these games. I always talk
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: about this in basketball especially, but in football as well,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but more even more so in basketball because there are
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: so many more games.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: What is this game?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: This game is one of those situations where you have
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a home team, or you have an unranked team excuse you,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that's favored over a ranked team. So the oddsmakers are
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: telling you not to trust the rankings makers that much.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The rankings makers might have this a little bit wrong,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: or at least the disparity that you would think would
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: be there between.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: These two teams is not what it looks like.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And the public is just gonna come in on Nebraska
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: like why wouldn't They're undefeated team, they're ranked, they just
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: beat Michigan State and luckily US plus two and a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: half players got Michigan State on that one. Still close call,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: but that's exactly why I'm gonna fade Nebraska in this game.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: For all those reasons. It looks way too easy to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: take the points with them, Like why wouldn't you again
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: as an undefeated team.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I'm still not sold on them.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know I talked about their out of their out
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of conference schedule being mediocre, moderate difficulty. Let's say I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: hadn't been that impressed by much of what they did,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: except they did beat me when I faded them with Illinois,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and they somehow pulled off that big upset. Illinois was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a big favorite in that one. Nebraska continues to do
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: what they do, but now they're coming off beating Michigan State. Man,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that was a huge win for Nebraska. They're three and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: zero conference. They beat one of the elite programs in
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten. That's huge for a program like Nebraska
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that usually isn't this good. That's a massive win. Man,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And you want to talk about elite programs basketball. Who
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do they playing next? In five days they play Indiana,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: which I think is on Saturday. That's a huge win,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: even if a huge game, even if Indiana is maybe
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: not as good this year as they usually are, or
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: maybe the last couple of years are not really as good.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But that's still Indiana. Man's that's the Hoosiers. You're gonna
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: get up for a game like that. I could see
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: them overlooking Ohio State here, Man, Ohio State not exactly
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as they're not a program that's as historically renowned in
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: basketball as Indiana.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: As Let's just put it that way.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So I think this is a sandwich spot actually, but
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: at the very least, I think this is.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: A letdown spot.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And yes, I know Nebraska did win that road game
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: at Illinois, but that was their only road game so far,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: so it is one game, so you can't really draw
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that much from it. Maybe an outlier. Now they have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: another true road game here might be a little bit difficult.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: This Ohio State team is still pretty decent, and Ohio
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: State didn't play well in their last game.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I think they might have been looking.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Ahead or they just thought they were gonna easily beat Rutgers.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Rutgers is bad, and Ohio State went in there.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Ohio State was the favorite, and I don't know if
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they covered or not. They're won by seven, but this
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: game was a bit close for comfort. And when a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: favorite has a close game like that against a team
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they should beat more easily, I keep.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Talking about that situation too.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I think the favorite usually realizes that they refocus, they
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of a scare. Rutgers was kind
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of in that game late in the game. It was
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: like a two possession game pretty late in that game,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so I think Ohio State they didn't play their best.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They got a little bit scared. I think they were
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: already looking ahead to this game. Now they're gonna play
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: this game. I think they're gonna show up for this man,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and I kind of like this even better because of
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the Illinois common opponent year.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: People are gonna look at that as well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Oh No, Ohio State lost to Illinois, which that was
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a loss for us on the show as well, So
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: maybe I should have been playing this one, but I am.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: People are gonna see that Ohio State lost at home
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to Illinois. Nebraska beat Illinois on the road, So how
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: could Nebraska not little not only cover this but win
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the game outright?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be the public sentiment on this, like how
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: are we getting points here? Like it looks almost like
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a steal. Nothing is that easy. Ohio State is the play.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's my only college basketball play today. The number is
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: up to three. I'm hoping that maybe some TakeBack happens.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't really understand the percentages right now. Fifty eight
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: percent of the tickets and ninety one percent of the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: cash on Nebraska. I'm going with my situational analysis and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: my number read as far as what number.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Do the books put this out add although they put
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: it out at.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: One apparently, and I think Ohio State immediately got hammered up.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But what I am kind of concerned about is that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: if we see the percentages reflecting take back on Nebraska,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: maybe that was a false move. But then again, I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely do not think that the professional money is going
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to be on Nebraska in this game. I just don't like,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I know how these guys think. I mean, I'm I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like to consider myself to be one of them, so
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna think about this game the same
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: way that I do.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So I think Ohio State is the play there.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: That's a hopefully you can get a decent number on that.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: That is the one play.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: If you want to talk about any of these other games,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I will most of these games are pretty uninteresting though.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Really we do have Oregon at Rutgers, and of course,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: as I just mentioned, Rutgers did just play Ohio State
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: pretty close, so maybe they'll be a little bit out
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of gas here. Oregon coming into this off of a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: win at Maryland, so now they're adjusted to the Eastern
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: time zone. They come back and they play Ohio State, Nebraska,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and Michigan Michigan State after this, though, actually the Nebraska
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: game's a road game, the other ones are at home.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So maybe you got to worry a little bit about
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a look ahead and that Oregon just still won't take
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Rutgers that seriously. That would kind of be the one
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: concern there, and that Oregon's just not that familiar with
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that venue either. I do think i'd probably lay it
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: if I was gonna play this game, because Rutgers just
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: might not have as great an effort this time, because
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: they did put up a fight against Ohio State. Oregon's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a six point favorite here. We don't see the percentages yet,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: but Oregon they've been one of the worst teams against
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the spread this year though, and they don't win by
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: margin that easily. And it's a fairly low total at
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: one forty two, So those would have me a little
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: bit concerned by the way the total in the Nebraska
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Ohio State games in the mid one fifties. And one
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: thing I forgot to mention is Ohio State is sort
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of a mid tempo team, maybe a little bit on
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the slower side. Nebraska likes to play really fast, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: if Ohio State can slow this thing down a little bit,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that hopefully will frustrate Nebraska as well.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: The totals right there up in the middle.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It is expected to be a little bit of a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: faster base game because both teams are not really slow
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: at least. But the other thing I like about that
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: game is Ohio State is pretty low in kemp Bump's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Luck Index two twenty four, and Nebraska is quite high.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: He does have Nebraska and Ohio State separated by seven
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: teen ranking spots, but he has Nebraska forty first in luck,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: so he's telling you Nebraska has overperformed so far. And yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I do know Nebraska is technically the better deepfense getting points.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I understand that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: But we're basically just asking Ohio State to win the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: game here in a spot that I think is favorable
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to them.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: So that is what we're doing in that one. All right.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: These other games, I mean, really most of these other
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: games are not that interesting to me. I mean, Milwaukee
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is playing Green Bay. I looked at the scheduling spot
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for this, and Milwaukee did just play a big game
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: against Right State.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Right State is.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Up at the top of the horizon right now, sitting
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: with one loss in conference. Right State's looking like a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: pretty competitive team in this conference right now, and Milwaukee,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: as an underdog on the road, played them to within six.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Now they're playing a third straight road game, so this
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: does look a little bit difficult, and they do have
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky up next and they've been pretty good overall
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: as well, so Milwaukee might overlook this. Doug Gottlieb led
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Green Bay team Doug Gottlieb coached Green Bay team that's
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: been way up and down. I don't really want green
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Bay either here, though I think they will show up
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: for the game. But they pulled off an upset of
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: IPFW on the road in their last game where they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: absolutely crushed them. It was pretty much dominant in that game.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Surprisingly because green Bay they're very very hard to predict
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: this year, man Milwaukee is up to a two and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite in that game. I would probably
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: have a tendency to slightly still lean to Green Bay
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in that one, but I think both teams are in
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: bad spots there, so I do not want to touch
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that one. There were a couple other games that are
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: like those games where you have a misleading spread based
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: on what the team's records are, like, I think one
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of them is East Texas A and M.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: And New Orleans.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I think it was kind of the big one, yeah,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: where New Orleans is four and ten and East Texas
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: A and M is six and nine. But New Orleans
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: is already the better They already have the better record
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: in this conference, so obviously New Orleans must have played
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the more difficult out of conference schedule, although they actually did.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I think they won against TCU in one of those
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: difficult games, but they're definitely the better team, to the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: point where they're an eight and a half point favorite.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: In this one.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So this is another one of those games. You have
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a very misleading line in this one. I didn't see
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a whole lot as far as the schedule was concerned
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that would lead me to lean one way or the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: other here, So I think based on how misleading that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: number looks, I think I would lay the points in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that one. With New Orleans, they're like pretty obviously the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: better team, and that's kind of been known all year.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: East Texas A and M is not good here in
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the Southland Conference. In New Orleans, they've been decent at
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: times like over the.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Last few years.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And last year their whole season got derailed because they
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: had guys that were point shaving and throwing games because
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: they were betting. They were tanking, but that was because
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they were betting against themselves. So they had a scanned.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Well New Orleans did, so New Orleans is past that now,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: so they should be a better team this year. So yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I would lay the points with New Orleans and that
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: one if I was gonna play that one. And then
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: we do have one other Big ten game here to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: finish off this slate. Again, if you want me to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: talk about any of the rest of these games, I will,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But again, I just don't really have a whole lot
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: of interest in most of these games.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: And we got.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Swack Ivy Horizon. There is a little bit of colonial
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: action in here as well. I still call it the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Colonial Southland, and I think that's about it today. And
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: then yes, we do have the other huge Big ten
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: game is a ranked versus ranked matchup number twenty four
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: USC and number nine Michigan State at eight thirty pm
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Eastern on Fox Sports One.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: The late Game.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: People might the public might get involved in this one,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: trying to get some of their money back from earlier
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and also because it's.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: A game between two ranked teams.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Now, USC just got drilled by Michigan not really that surprising, but.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe it means USC can't.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They're not on the level of these like upper echelon teams,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: man which I think Michigan State might be one of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: those teams. I think they are probably legitimately a top
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: ten team where it's kem bum and no kembum as
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: in fifteenth now, but they are still considerably better than USC.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: For USC though getting drilled by their last opponent, like
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to lose by thirty, so maybe they will
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: show up for this, although it is difficult to do
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the Michigan back to back if you want to call
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it that. Not on back to back days, but playing
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: both Michigan schools on the road one game after the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: other is not that easy to do. But maybe they
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: will bounce back from getting blown out like that. And
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I do think the spot is probably worse for Michigan
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: State because they to just get locked into that battle
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: against Nebraska and only lost by two. That was a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: big game, so I could potentially see them maybe being
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the team that's in the.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Worst spot here.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So I guess if you forced me to pick a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: side here, I guess I would lean to USC plus
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the points here. Not very interested in it, though the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: money seems to be somewhat agreeing with that. Early on, well,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: early on, Michigan State moved up to an eleven point favorite.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: But now we see fifty six percent of the tickets
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: on them, ninety five percent of the cash coming back
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: on USC here. And this is the Battle of the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: what do we want to call the Battle of the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Ancient Warriors. It's the Trojans versus the Spartans. So the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: money does look like it is coming back on the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: USC side. One issue here is that this is a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: pacing contrast type of game, where USC wants to go fast,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Michigan State wants to go slow.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: They probably will.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Be able to effectively slow this pace down, but that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: also does mean that it might be a little bit
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: more difficult for Michigan State to win by margin if
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: there are a fewer points scored in the game. One
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one is the total. So they think
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the oddsmakers kind of had to bridge the gap between
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a fast paced and a slow paced team in this one.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: But it yeah, I mean, I don't really have other
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: thoughts on that, but that's those are my thoughts on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Soab, what's up man? Thank you sir. Yes, great day today.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: You're on Utah and the Bulls. Interesting this this SOB guy, Man,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: he's he's definitely spying on me. We're we were together
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: on the nets yesterday. Let's get into hockey here, man,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I have one play in hockey.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: You probably know what it is. It's this first game
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: up here. Here we go. I am in agreement with
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: SOB on this. What else is new?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Utah is my one hockey play here? The Mammoth, The
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Mammoth at the Rangers. I looked at this and I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this is this is a pretty good spot.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of things are a lot of things are
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: coming into line here for a Utah play.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Utah is coming off a loss, first of all, against
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a pretty decent New Jersey team. But nobody wants to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: lose four to one man, so I think they're gonna
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: bounce back from that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: They aren't playing a really.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Tightly packed schedule here, like they've had days off in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: between these games. I'm fine with that. And they're staying
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: in the New York area. UTA has been in the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: New York area since Thursday, so they're really not having
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to do a lot of travel here.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: So I like that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And it's actually the Rangers that are doing way more
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: travel here. So I think, Utah, they're just sitting up
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: here pissed off and ready to go.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be focused on this.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: And of course, as I always point out, with Ranger
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: home games, they're not good at home. Five ten and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: three at home, that's pretty ugly the Mammoth, they're ten
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: thirteen and ten to thirteen and two away from home.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: They're not much worse on the road than they are
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: at home. They don't really have a huge home road dichotomy.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: The Rangers obviously do have a massive one still where
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: they've been a little bit better at home as of late,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: but they're still a bad home team now the Rangers.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Couple all of that with how bad the spot is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: for the Rangers here, the Rangers, as we already knew,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: they're coming off looking really good. In the Winter Classic
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in Florida, the Rangers, in a highly publicized game, they
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: stomped Florida five to one. And I told you Florida
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: would be angry about that yesterday. But I also think
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the Rangers are now in a letdown spot because where
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: do you go from here after you do that huge
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: win over the returning champs in the Winter Classic in Miami.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Still doesn't sound right.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The Rangers get that huge win five to one, and again,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: when you win five to one, I'm probably gonna be
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: looking to fade you in the next game. If you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: look at what happened in this game, yeah, I mean
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: there was an empty netter at the end. Florida actually
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: outshot the Rangers by seventeen and they had eighteen more
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: hits as well, though the Rangers won the face off battle,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: but there were some indicators that Florida was somewhat of
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the better team in the game. Although Florida, but I mean,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Florida is the better team overall. But Florida you could argue, well,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: they were throwing up a bunch of shots because they
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: were down three to nothing. Yeah, that is true as well,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: but that wasn't until like the middle of the second period.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: So there are some indicators that the Rangers were not
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: exactly as good as they looked in the game. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: now out on top of that, what else are the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Rangers doing here. They're returning home from a road trip
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: after Christmas. They started this road trip on the twenty seventh,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: though they were in New York for that one, so okay,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: but they've still been on the road for a week,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: even if you don't include that. They went to Carolina,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: played them into overtime, went to Washington, and then they
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: went down to Florida, played the Winter Classic, had a
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: huge win in that game, and now they're returning home
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: from that. And yes, I know they have two days off,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: but I talk about how days off don't really help you.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think when you're returning home, because I think
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: it just kind of exacerbates the distraction a lot of times.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: So I always talk about it when a team returns
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: home from a road trip, they can get distracted because
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they're coming back home. They have stuff that hasn't been
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: getting done around the house that the men need to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: get done. It could be a distraction. You know, your
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: wives and shoulder distract you. Those annoying bitches, they can
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: distract you. So you know a lot of things coming
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: into play, and if you have a couple of days off,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: especially coming off of a win like that. I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you're kind of thinking about that win, getting a little
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: bit overconfident, and you're just I think settling back in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: at home and not focusing on hockey. Utah is not
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: exactly the team that's really gonna draw your focus right now.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: They've been mediocre, they've been bad really for a while,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and then Buffalo is their next opponent. We know Buffalo
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: has been really, really hot, even though their streak came
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to an end, and I think we had that streak busting.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Game I believe as a win on the show.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: So I think the Rangers might look ahead to Buffalo
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and then they dove Boston after that. It's an original
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: six matchup there at the very least. Buffalo at least
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is a I guess an in state rival ish sort of.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's a horrible spot for the Rangers.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: A lot of things coming into play in that one.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: We will be on the Mammoth. The Rangers are down
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for minus one to five to minus one ten. Looks
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: like reverse live movement here. Public is playing the Rangers.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: They like what they saw out of the Rangers in
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the Winter Classic. The Rangers have the better overall record
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: right now, so why wouldn't you right, seventy three percent
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: of the tickets on them. It's it looks so easy
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to take them, especially now that the line on them
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: is less than home Ice.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Now it looks so easy to play the Rangers.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Utah's the side ninety six percent of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the cash on Utah. I don't actually think they're the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: better team here, so I wish there was a little
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: bit more line value.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: But I think as long as you're getting.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Pretty much just to pick the winner price here or
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: better than minus one ten especially, I think it makes
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: sense it's a great spot to take them.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Utah is the play.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Sab and I are in agreement here. The net Stranger,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I thought you lost your streak. Now I'm I'm I'm
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: trying to that's your job. Yeah, you're you're the ode spy.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm dude, I'm I think you're in saying if you're
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: actually trying to play on every single NETS game, like
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: even if you're good at predicting their games, I still
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: think that's crazy, Like you don't want to force yourself
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to have to do that every game when it's a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: i don't know, like a game that you just don't
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: really have many angles to work with and whatever.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I can't do that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Correct Utah, Yes, way less travel for Utah here, Jeffrey,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: what's up man? Thanks for hanging out. You change into
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Wizards. Why didn't I disagree with the Wizards?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought I disagreed with that. I
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what my thoughts are. I know I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: had no real thoughts.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: On that game though.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was the game that I recommended not playing. Yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I did not have any good feeling about that game.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: No era of good feelings. All Right, we have Anaheim
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and Washington. I think both of these teams are actually
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in focused spots here. Anaheim is coming off a pretty
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: ugly loss it was to Minnesota.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Minnesota has been hot.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Anaheim's on a five game losing streak, But now they
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: have two days off and they get to start a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: road trip.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So I think this is a good thing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I talk about this all the time when a team
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: is on a losing streak, having a break can help
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: because it could disrupt that losing momentum. Coming off a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: loss by three goals at home also tends to be
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a positive spot in hockey.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Because you get more focus.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You want to bounce back from that, and starting a
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: road trip usually your focused because you want to get
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the road trip off on the right foot. So a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: lot of things that are looking like a positive spot
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: for Anaheim here in my opinion. Although yes, they are
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: having to travel to the East coast, but that's not
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: that difficult for a West coast team to travel east
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and play at seven pm Eastern.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: It's like they're playing at four pm their time.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Totally fine, but also they've probably already gotten out there
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and adjusted whatever. However, I think Washington is also in
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a pretty good bounce back spot. They just lost to
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Chicago pretty ugly low, they've lost two in a row.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: They're staying at home here.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I expect them to show up as well, even though
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: they do have Dallas next. But when you're losing like this,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you don't really overlook your next opponent, in my opinion,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: so I think both teams are in decent spots here.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: If you forced me to pick a side, I probably
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: would say Anaheim is in this slightly more positive spot
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: because I do still you doll still have to worry
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that Washington does have Dallas looming on the horizon here.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Seventy eight percent of tickets, ninety eight percent of the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: cash on Anaheim Washington down for minus one fifty to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: minus one forty five on the money line. So those
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: are my thoughts on that game. Detroit is at Ottawa.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Detroit is coming off losing both games in the home
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: at home to Pittsburgh, including losing at home four to one.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: That's probably got to piss them off, man, So I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: kind of expect that they're going to show up for
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: this game, even though it is kind of a weird
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: single game travel spot. They don't have another game for
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: three days, and when you're losing like this, sometimes it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: good to just leave home for a game, focus on
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: that game, get away from it all. So I don't
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: think the Red Wings are in a bad spot here
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: for the Senators here, they're staying at home. They have
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: won two games in a row. They beat Washington, nice win,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: it broke their low streak. They actually didn't suffer a
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: let down, and they beat Win a peg in the
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: next game, not a win that's really gonna make you
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: over confident or anything like that. So I don't really
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: see this being a horrible spot for Ottawa. But then
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the team that looks better in the last couple of games,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: So I think Detroit is probably the way I would
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: lean here, just maybe thinking maybe you get a little
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: bit of value going that way, just based on recency bias.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Even though Ottawa is staying at home.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I don't really think they're gonna overlook Detroit though, so
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: this obviously is not when I'm that interested in The
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: money seems to agree with Detroit, though, even though Ottawa
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: did go up for minus one forty eight to minus
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: one fifty one on the money line eighty six percent
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: of the tickets, it's sixty three percent of the catch
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: on them, so they look public with less of the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: actual money on them. So the market seems to agree
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: with me on these ones so far. Seattle at Calgary,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: this is one ugly game here. Two teams that are
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: just not good. Seattle probably actually the worst of the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: two teams at this point. Seattle's been off for a
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: couple of days. Shouldn't be a horrible spot for them.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: They just beat Vancouver in a shootout. Don't think they'll
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be in letdown spot. I don't know if they're really
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: gonna look ahead to Boston either. I wouldn't really imagine
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: that they would when you're Seattle like this.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, they do have an okay record, so I
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I just don't see them really not
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: showing up for this game for any particular reason. Calgary
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: just lost at home to Nashville. That did break a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: win streak for them.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I think they were.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Kind of in a letdown spot at that point because
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: they'd beaten Edmonton, Boston and Philadelphia on a row. Yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I mean they might have overlooked Nashville a little bit.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Although I don't think Calgary's good either. Calgary took the loss.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: They are staying at home. They did have a couple
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: of days off before that game, and they've had another
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: day off after that game, so they're pretty well rested here.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a horrible spot for Calgary.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: So this game. I don't have a good read on this.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I would I guess lean to Calgary. It does look
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: like that's where the money is Calgary. Oddsmakers are telling
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: you Calgary is actually the better team as well, So
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that's what I said. The line might look a little
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: bit suspicious because why is the team of the somewhat
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: worse record laying a favorite price like this, right, So
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: that is something to consider as well. Calgary up for
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: minus one fifty five to minus one fifty seven, seventy
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: two percent tickets, ninety two percent of the cash on Calgary.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: So I agree with the money in that one slightly,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: But that's the weakest of all of those so far.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I would say, you played Ravens to win it all.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Everything stays in the in the family. What are we
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: talk We're talking about incests. What are you talking about here?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Wait?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: When when did you make your Ravens bet? Because I
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: didn't think it was a horrible call. Like the Ravens, dude,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: they're a good team of the lo talent. It's just
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that this season nothing came together for them. Jackson got
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: hurt and then it looked like he wasn't himself, Like
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know mentally, physically, I don't know.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: What the deal was with him.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: But that was why I gave out the Steelers as
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a play yesterday. Part of the reason why. I mean,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I liked how the spots set up too though, based
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: on what the teams did the previous week.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Ravens.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Prior to the season, I said the Ravens were gonna
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna win the super Bowl prior to the season,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: but of course the entire season got derailed by the injury.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: And then, yeah, I didn't expect Lamar Jackson to look
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: like he just didn't even want to be out there
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: on the field anymore. So their entire season again got
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: totally derailed. Harbaugh, I don't know, man, his run in
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Baltimore might be coming to an end. Man, I don't
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: think he's good, to be honest, everybody thought he was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: good for a long time.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe something changed.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just something going on with that team
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: that's absolutely not right and right now his brothers much
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: better oach.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: In the NFL.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: With Jim Harbaugh, and not just because the Chargers are
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: indeed in the playoffs this year playoffs. What Minnesota at
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the Kings is the last game here, and this, I
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: believe is a second matchup between these two teams in
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a row. Yes, Minnesota lost at the Kings on Saturday,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: five to four in a shootout. So I don't really
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: know if there's much of a zigzag opportunity here other
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: than if you want to do a Jeffrey and look
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: at for an under in this game because the other
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: game was very high scoring.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't really have a real.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Good reason to say no to that. I don't I
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: don't have a feel for the total really. But as
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: far as the side, I don't know about zig zagging
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: it because yeah, one of the teams won, LA won,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: but they won in a shootout. Although you could argue, well,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is the better team and losing at the Kings,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the Kings are just not a very good home team.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe it should be as about where Minnesota does zigzag
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: this thing and bounce back. They don't really have anything
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: bigger upcoming. I don't think the Kings are going to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: overlook Minnesota, even though they did just beat them.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: It's still a big.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Game against a big opponent. And they only play Jose.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: They only play Jose, this guy, Jose, my former co host.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: They play him next to Nough. They play San Jose next.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Kings are still not good at home, though somebody keep
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: in mind a little bit better, I guess recently six
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: nine and four homes still pretty bad though, and Minnesota's
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: twelve six and three on the road. They've been one
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: of the better road teams in hockey. The line has
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: moved on Minnesota, flipping them from plus one oh three
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to minus one seventeen. I don't know what the line
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: was on them in the first game. I presume they
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: were a favorite.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: But I don't know by how much.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was more than this, So there might be
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: some value there because they lost the previous game eight
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and nine percent of tickets ninety eight percent of the
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: cash on Minnesota. But because Minnesota is the better team
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and they did lose the first of these two matchups here,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: probably my feeling would be, yeah, they will make the
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: adjustments here, so I probably would lean in Minnesota in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: this one, But no real strong opinion there. NBA we
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: have I think eight games here and I have opinions
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: on really on four of these games, I have pretty
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: strong opinions, and I'm going to give out a play
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: on three of the four and hopefully the Bubble Boy,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: which I got to get that drop man. Hopefully my
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Bubble Boy today is not a bubble Burst. Hopefully they
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: don't win while one of my other plays loses. But
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: that's the name of the game.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: You gotta narrow down your card.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: You got to figure out where to end your card,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and then if you're good at this, you will have
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: games that you leave off your card that you're still
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: correct about. But you want more of the stuff on
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: your card to win than a dozen of course, and
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday was a huge day obviously, six and one. But
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I want to keep having winning days, man, that's the goal.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: We do have probably the biggest.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Game of the days, Nix Pistons at seven pm on Peacock.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: This game is not one of the games that I'm
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: very interested and I think I actually disagreed with the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: market in this one. The Knicks are coming up a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: pretty ugly loss at home to Philadelphia. Philadelphia beat them
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: one thirty to one nineteen, the Knicks giving up one
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty plus points. Yeah, I think the Knicks
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: are probably gonna be in a bounced back spot here. Man.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe they were even looking ahead to Detroit already, but
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I think it might be good for them to just
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: get out of home focus on a game here. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: know they're playing a lot of games in quick succession
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: here though, three games of four days, although with the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: first two of those being at home that makes it
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit easier.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: But also the fact they got.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Swept in the home stand were ugly in both games.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Going out on the road might help them in and
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: help them refocus here as far as Detroit is concerned,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: they just beat Cleveland, so I think they might be
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: in a little bit of the worst spot here, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that was yesterday, Although they're not that much less rested
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: than the Knicks are because the Knicks have played a
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: pretty tight schedule. Even though the Knicks didn't play yesterday,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Troit had a couple of days off prior to yesterday,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're gonna be totally tired.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: But they won at Cleveland yesterday, And man, I told
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: you I liked to Detroit in that game yesterday too.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: I believe they won outright as an underdog.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I thought the spot was better for Detroit in that game,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: even though it was one of those lines that looked
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: very misleading, like why is Cleveland a favorite over Detroit?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Whatever Detroit got the win is a dog. Now, they're
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: not going to overlook the Knicks. But I just think
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that because they're coming off a big win as an underdog,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: it's a back to back. The Knicks are coming off
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of really ugly losses. I think the only
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: way that I could look at this game would be
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: towards the Knicks, but the money is disagreeing with me
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: on it. The Knicks are up to a two and
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite. I didn't really see anything in
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the injury report that indicated anything going on here as
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: far as this line being like weird looking, Like, yes,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: it is weird looking fifty four percent of the tickets
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: around the Knicks, sixty one percent of the casual on
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: the Pistons. But how could the public be on the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Knicks in this game? Even though I know the Knicks
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: are good. Everybody pretty much knows they're good. But Detroit
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: has the better record and they're at home, so you
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: got to think the public would still favor Detroit in
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: this game, right as far as where they were gonna
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: be putting their money in this game. So to me,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: it looks like a weird, like misleading line, like why
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: would the Nicks be favored on the road. The oddsmakers
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: are pretty much telling you the Knicks are the better team,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: although the Knicks haven't been that good on the road,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: So somebody keep in mind, there's seven and eight on
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the road, Detroit's been good at home, twelve and three
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: at home, but if one team is gonna be able
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: to beat them at home, it should be a team
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: like the Knicks. It's actually a better team than Detroit. Yeah,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and like I said, the injury report isn't really showing
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: a whole lot going on here. Tobias Harris is out
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: for Detroit, but I think that's been the case for
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: a long time. And the Knicks, Josh hard is out.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: He's been out for a while too. But obviously that
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: would not affect the line.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: That would not make the line go up on the Knicks.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't. It probably wouldn't move the line at all.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: In fact, so the odds makers are telling you, like
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: right in playing sight here, they're telling you the Knicks
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: are actually the better team here, enough so that they're
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a road favorite in this one. So for me, lean
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: to the Knicks. Next up, best bet time, let's go now.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know this is the one that I agree with,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: SOB on this one, but I kind of like a
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: couple of these other plays, maybe better than this one.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I think the next one after this I think I
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: like better than this one, But who knows. I don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: know how to weigh the strength of these sometimes, but
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I am with sab on this one.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: We're gonna fade my boss's Celtics here. Hopefully.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I know my Celtics, like I said, I usually I
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: know them. We're gonna take the Chicago Bulls here plus
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: the points. Now, the Celtics are good. Like, who would
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: have thought the Celtics would be a half game out
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: of first place this deep into the season. Right now
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: with no Jason Tatum. What the Celtics are doing is crazy, dude.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: They still have a lot of roster depth. Jalen Brown
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: is he's becoming like the guy like he's been able
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: to do it these role players that they have been good. Gonzales,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: who was their first draft pick this year, late in
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: the first round or whatever, he is putting in a
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: ton of effort to Like that guy doesn't show up
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: on the stat sheet because he doesn't score a lot,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: But if you watch what that guy's doing out there,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: he's going after every ball. He's playing really really intense,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: man like just on defense and going after rebounds.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: So that guy, I think he was a good draft
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: pick by the Celtics and he fits their mentality as well.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Celtics have gone up to an eleven eleven and a
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: half point favorite from nine. I don't know how much
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: weight to put into these numbers right now, those seventy
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: six percent of the tickets eighty one percent of the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: cash on them. I think we might see the market
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: move around to agree with me throughout the day because
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I think the only way you can look at this
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: is that it's not a good spot for the Celtics,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: and I think it is a decent spot for the
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Bulls as well, because the Bulls just lost at home
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: one twelve to ninety nine to the Charlotte Hornets.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: That's awful, dude.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: So one of the best things you can do when
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: you have a bad loss in home and forget about
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: it go out on the road. And also, they were
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: kind of in a bad spot if you think about it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: They're on a back to back. They beat Orlando, who's
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: probably a playoff team the game before that, and they
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: had Boston in Detroit and Miami all up next, so
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that was a sandwich spot. So I think you can
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: kind of explain why it was a horrible performance from
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the Bulls. There now a day off going on the road.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I know it's a third game in four days, but
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the first two were both at home. Again coming off
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: a horrible loss at home, one day off, starting a
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: road trip, you should be focused.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: For all those reasons. You want to get the road
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: trip off on the right foot.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna focus when you're playing the Boston Celtics
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: and they're playing well. Right now, the Celtics are and
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: again coming off a horrendous loss. All of those things
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: look positive for the Bulls and for the Celtics. I
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: think it's not a good spot as the Celtics actually
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: only had one day off. Yeah, they were returning over
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: from a road trip. Man after Christmas. They've been on
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: the road since then. They went to Indiana and then
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: out to the Pacific Coast to Portland. They came back
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: to Utah in elevation, then back to the Pacific Coast
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: again to Sacramento and then La to the Clippers.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: And the Celtics had a very successful road trip.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: They only dropped the game in Portland, won all the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: rest of the games.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: So I told you it was.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a somewhat easy road trip and that the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Celtics better at least go above five hundred on that
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: against all those pretty weak opponents. They did successful road trip, achieved,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: they won four out of the five games. Now they're
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: back at home and they get this Chicago team that's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: been middling at best. They're below five hundred out and
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: then oh yeah, the Celtics turnaround and on Wednesday they
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: get the Denver Nuggets on ESPN. Although it's without Jokic,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: but that is still a huge game, playing Denver on
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: ESPN televised game. So I think this is bad for
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a bunch of reasons. Of course, the return home.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Spot means the Celtics could be distracted coming back home.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: They got to get stuff done at home, get back
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: to home life. They might not totally focus on a
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Bulls team it's just not really that good. And with
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the look ahead spot as well, potentially to Denver. And
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: then they do play Toronto San Antonio after that. So
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: three games against better opponents right now, the Chicago is
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: and the TV game aspect of the next game. Horrible
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: spot for the Celtics. Maybe I do like this one,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: but more than I led on.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I like it. Obviously it's on my card. We'll take
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the points with the Bulls in this one. And I
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's any sort of indicator if we
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: could read anything into it. But the last time, I
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: think the last time I was at a Celtics game
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: was in the middle of last year. Last season. It
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: was the Bulls at the Celtics and the Bulls beat
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: them out right, and it was like right before Christmas,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and the refs screw the Celtics, but the Celtics came
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: nowhere close to covering the number. In that game, the
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Bulls played them really tough. So I don't know if
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a repeat of that or not,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: but the line was around where this one is, even
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: though it was the Celtics with Jason Tatum and that
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: was the game where Joe Mizzula was yelling at the
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: refs and then and they made some bad calls at
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, and in the press conference
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: they asked him what he said to the ref and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: he was like, I was just wishing him a merry Christmas.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Didn't think I was gonna see him again before the Holidays.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, he's so funny, man Missoula man. Yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely a fan. The way he's coaching the team
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I mean you can't argue with it,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: even though I liked you Dooka and he's doing well.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I think with Houston right now, didn't think they should
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: have gotten rid of him. But Missoula, he's got his
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: own thing going. I think he's hilarious in press conferences too,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: So we're on the side of Joe Man. Also, Joe
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: is in coffee. Because I'm constantly pounding that Atlanta at
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Toronto this game, I don't have as much of a
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: feel for this is actually a zig This is a
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: potential zigzag though, because these teams just played on Saturday,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: and I gave you guys a play on Toronto on
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Saturday because Atlanta had just upset Minnesota and the Knickson
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: back to back games, and I think Toronto was coming
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: off some ug performance, so I said go with Toronto.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: We got an easy win with Toronto. But now the
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Toronto won that game by seventeen, I could definitely see
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: this argument for the zigzag here where the line is
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: about the same though, so the oddsmakers haven't really adjusted
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: because it was Raptors three and a half in that game.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I gave out it's.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Still three and a half three here, but I still
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: think you might be looking at a spot where Atlanta
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: was so bad in that last game that they're the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: team that has adjustments to make.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: And if you're Toronto, like what do you really have
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: to fix? Right?
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: You don't have a whole lot to fix here because
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: everything worked for you.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: In that last game.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Now, one thing to be aware of is what's going
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: on with the injury report here. Trey Young looks like
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: he's still out, so I shouldn't be an issue. And
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I've heard some stuff like I don't know if Trey
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Young's really injured or not, Like it seems like when
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: he plays, the team just doesn't do as well.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at all.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: These losses they lost the last five games that he played.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: They actually if all the games that he's played this year,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: they've lost eight out of ten or yeah, is that right?
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the rest of this is preseason, So Atlanta
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: might even actually be better without Young in the lineup.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: It seems like he might be disruptive to their chemistry,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: even though he's their most talented player. It's crazy to
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: think about. I would lean to the Hawks here if
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I was gonna give out a play on this. I
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: think they will make some adjustments and put into better
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: performance this time. Neither team really has a look ahead,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: and I don't think or anything like that, so there
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: isn't really any other situational aspect to look at. Hold on, Yeah,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Toronto will plays Charlotte next, who cares? But still I
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: think the zigzag might be the only real factor in
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: this game. Sixty percent of tickets, ninety percent of the
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: cash on the Raptors though, for whatever reason, but I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: would lean. Yeah, obviously I'm leaning to the Hawks in
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: that one, but it's not a play for me. Next
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: up is the next play that I have because I
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of them in the NBA. Like I said,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: we're gonna lay it with Houston minus eight and a half.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Even though yes, Phoenix obviously in the in the best
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: of circumstances, they should get up for a game against Houston.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: But look at the scheduling spot that Phoenix is in, man,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how they're gonna.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Be able to do this.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Phoenix beat Oklahoma City yesterday. Oklahoma City is the team.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: In the NBA.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Man, there, I don't see how anybody's gonna knock out
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City in like a seven game series. Yeah, they
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: lose individual games, but they're so good that it's a
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: huge achievement when you beat them. And not only did
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Phoenix beat them, but that was yesterday Phoenix beat them.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, even though I.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Know they're starting a road trip here, they're on a
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: back to back playing a third game in four days, actually,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a fourth game in six days, fifth game in eight days,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: sixth game in ten days, and seventh game in eleven
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: days actually, with a bunch of those games being on
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: the road to start out, so they have not really
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: had a whole lot of rest here coming up that
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: huge game. I just think they won't have a whole
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: lot left in the tank.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I think they're in trouble in this game. And they're
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: traveling from Phoenix to Houston. I know technically they're starting
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: a road trip, but again, horrible spot with no time off,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of or a very substantial lack of rest here,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: I should say, and having to travel and coming off
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: their biggest win of the year, and I think Houston
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: is going to show up and be angry. Houston technically
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: is returning home, but they only went to Brooklyn on
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Thursday and then they were back in Texas, although I
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: know Dallas isn't that close to Houston, but they were
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: in Dallas and they lost the game. Then I know
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: sometimes i'll talk about how you lose a win streak,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: it'll hang you over. But Houston they were on a
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: four game win streak. But I think it's more likely
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: they're going to show up for this game before they
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: go back out on the road. I know these one
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: game home stants can be tricky, and usually I want
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: to go against a team when they have to get
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: stuffed done at home. But they haven't been away for
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: very long at all, and they're already in Texas, so
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I think it is a positive. I think they saw
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: what Phoenix just did to Oklahoma City and they will
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: be on notice. So I think Houston is the right
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: approach in this game. I think they're going to be
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: in a bounced back spot of ugly loss at Dallas.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Houston had to have been a favorite in that game
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: on the road, So when it comes down to it,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: you have the Sun's in a major letdown spot of
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: a giant win is a big underdog versus Houston coming
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: off an ugly loss is a pretty decent sized favorite.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Houston's got to be the side here, sixty percent of ticket,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: sixty four percent of the cash on them for now.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe the public will be slightly on the Houston side
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: as well, but I think it's the right side. I
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: think the actual money will come in on Houston as well.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: So this one. You might not get a better number
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: on this one. As the day progresses, we'll see. Sometimes
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not good at predicting where the number is gonna
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: move though. I'm just trying to jump on the situation
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: as I see it, and that's just how I do it.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, couple that with the market read and
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: But the rocket's a rough from eight and a half
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: to nine now, but I think you probably still find
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: eight and a half's right now. So that is that play,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: and I I just love one more.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Charlotte is at Oklahoma City here, Charlotte, as I already mentioned,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: they're coming off an upset of Chicago. Now, obviously they're
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: not gonna overlook Oklahoma City, but they're playing a third
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: game in four days, fourth game in six days, all
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: in different cities, coming off of a pretty nice upset win.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I just don't know what they're gonna have left in
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the tank here for Oklahoma City, man, and they might
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: encounter an angry Oklahoma City team. It's coming off of
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: a loss. Oklahoma City is tactically returning over from a
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: road trip. But they did go to the Pacific Coast,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: but it was just Friday Sunday, so a two game
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: road trip, not exactly a long road trip. I know
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: they're on a back to back, a third game in
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: four days and different cities, but they don't really have
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: anything big upcoming to me, I think they're gonna show
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: up in this game. This Oklahoma City team has a
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: ton of depth. I guess you have to see if
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: heart and seeing his back from injury or whatever. But
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: they just have so many players. Man, they don't do
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: that badly a lot of times in the back to back.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I think in this game it's either you lay the
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: price with the thunder or you leave the game alone.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: That would be my opinion. In this game, they're fifteen
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: fifteen and a half point favorite here. Yeah, my opinion
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: would be that lay the points or don't play the game.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: As far as the side is concerned a scheduled loss spot,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I don't think
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: the Hornets are just gonna you think they might rest people,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I mean the Thunder or the team that's in the
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: back to back, though the Hornets are not. I don't
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: think the Hornets are gonna rest their guys in this game.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: I just think they won't be able to.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I just think they won't be able to cover in
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: the game, Like they just won't have enough left in
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the tank to do it. That would be my opinion there.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: And I think Oklahoma City is going to show up
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: with focus. Yeah, Oklahoma City, and they don't really have
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of names, Like everybody knows SGA but and
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I guess homegrown and stuff. But this Oklahoma City team,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of names that are not household
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: names and they're doing it and they have a lot
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: of depth yet and it's with these guys that people
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: could not name these guys.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy, all right.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Next up this is he's the one that's almost on
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: my car, Denver at Philadelphia. Denver is coming off losing
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn yesterday. Horrible loss for Denver, and of course
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: we got that right on the show. Denver had played
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: close against Cleveland the game before that. They had Philly
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: in Boston coming up next.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a spot where they were gonna overlook.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: The Nats finally feel that Jokic injury coming into play.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: It happened, they got killed.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: But now because of that happened, they should be in
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: a bit of a better spot here coming off that loss,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: because nobody wants to lose by double digits to Brooklyn.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: But I have some issues with it right, can't quite
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: get there with Denver. I don't know if we should
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: worry a little bit about the fact that they do
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: have that TV game on Wednesday against Boston. I don't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: know that they're really gonna overlook Philly. But they are
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: playing a lot of games in quick succession here. They're
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: on a back to back with travel though it's only
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: New York to Philly here, but they're playing a third
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: game in four days, fourth game and six days, fifth
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: game in eight days, sixth game and ten days, and
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: seventh game in twelve days, going all the way back
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: to the Christmas game.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: So they've played a very pack schedule.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: And even before that, what is that nine games in
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: fifteen days, nine games in fourteen days, whatever, So Denver
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: really has not had a whole lot of rest. They're
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit thin roster wise because they're still without
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon, obviously without Jokic now, so I do have
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: my concerns with it. Obviously they're gonna be a huge
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: underdog though because of those circumstances. Philadelphia is coming to
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: a big win over the Knicks, huge upset win. They
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: looked awesome in the game, and there returning over from
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: a road trip. Philadelphia has been on the road since Friday,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: December twenty sixth. They went to Chicago, Okasee, Memphis, Dallas,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: New York. Now, I know the trip back from New
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: York is short, but it is still a return home spot, man,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: So it's a spot where maybe the team could be distracted.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: But is Philadelphia are gonna overlook Denver with Washington next.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I tend to not think so. I mean, Denver is
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: clearly the bigger of those two games without Yokic in
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: the lineup, But I still could see this being a
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: bad spot for Philly, like a letdown spot off the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Knicks game. It is a return home spot, so I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: have my concerns with it. But a lot of things
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: do line up the way that I handicap things towards
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: playing the Nuggets in this game, And that is the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: way that I would lean in this game.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: This is if I was gonna.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Add a game to my card, it would be this one.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: It would be the Nuggets plus the points. They're an
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: eleven and a half point dog, seventy nine percent of
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: tickets on the Sixers, sixty two percent of the cash
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: coming back on the Nuggets. So do with that information
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: what you want to, Although, is the public really coming
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: in on the Sixers to that degree? Though, Like, does
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: the public really want to lay double digits with the Sixers?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they do.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks like such a crazy number,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: even though we do know that Jokic is out. But
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: it's man, it's been a crazy adjustment. And the number
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to that plus I think were the number is probably
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: factoring in the nuggets lack of rest situation here as well.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: I like the Nuggets plus the points in that one.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: I think there is some value there and the spot
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: mostly sets up really nicely for it. But I can't
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: quite get there with that one. For the concerns that
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: I raised, Golden State is at the LA Clippers.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I almost just said, La, They're at the Clippers.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Golden State just got trounced by the Celtics, man or
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: the Clippers did?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: What am I saying?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: The Clippers got trounced by the Celtics during that Celtic
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: road trap. The Clippers streaky team that won six games
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: in a row. Now they lost that streak. Now do
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: they continue losing? Do they have a lost streak coming
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: on here? Do they feel a lost street.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Coming on here? Maybe?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Because I talk about when a team loses a win streak,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: especially in a game, they probably get up for mentally,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: they they do tend to have a little bit of
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: a lapse after that and they.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Do lose focus.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't know the Golden State is really a
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: team that you're gonna overlook. But they do play the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Knicks next, so that almost sounded like knick knack. Maybe
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: they'll get Patty whacked in this game.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It looks to me, it kind of
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: looks like mostly a.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Negative spot that they Usually you'd say, when you lose
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: by thirty one at home, you're gonna be angry and
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: bounced back from it. But I think it could be
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a lose to the same game twice situation. When you
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: have a long win streak ended like that. Their win
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: streak had started prior to Christmas. Now for Golden State,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: they just beat Utah, No real big deal there. They're
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: going out on the road now for a single game
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: against the Clippers. They don't exactly have huge games up
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: coming here, even though they get in Milwaukee with Yannis
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: back in the next game. But I think the spot
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: actually does set up a little bit better for Golden
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: State in this game. That would be my opinion. The
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: money seems to agree with that minus one and a half.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: They're down for minus one and a half to minus one,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: but sixty four percent of the tickets ninety five percent
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: of the cash on the Warriors.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: So I agree with the Warriors in this one.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: They won't be able to keep up with Okay. See,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: I agree with that Warriors next on the schedule.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: What are what are we talking about here? The Warriors
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: are I don't I don't know what are you saying?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Sob and I don't get it?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Two days rest game versus okaysee, who beat them?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: What are we talking about? Two times? Oh?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: The Warriors rested their players against Oklahoma City. Yeah, but
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: maybe they figured they wouldn't beat Oklahoma City anyway, so
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: maybe that was a scheduled loss for them basically, So,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: oh my god, tanking.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Tanking is still not a thing, but yes.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: There are certain there are certain situations where, yes, in
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: the NBA, the Greg Popovitch phenomenon is a thing where
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: teams will pick rest spots to rest their players. But
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: they're doing that because they think it's better in the
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: long run. It's like a future oriented thing.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I think the reason why the Warriors just aren't that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: good though, just because they're just an old team.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's about it.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Steve Karr though, Like I
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: don't know, I think he's an idiot politically and whatever
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: he goes out there and politically grandstands.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: Fuck Steve Kerr kind.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Of sucks because I used to watch the Bulls and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I liked Michael Jordan whatever Kerr was on
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: that team. But whatever, Maybe Michael Jordan was right to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: hit Steve Kerr. If you guys know that story, there
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: was some altercation between the two and he he hits
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr to basically toughened him. Mop Michael Jordan, baby
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: all right, the last game. You know where I'm going
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: with this. The last game.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: I do have a play here.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: We are going to take the points with the Utah
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Jazz here plus the six. I know I prefer taking
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Utah home. But we're talking about a Portland team that's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: really not that great of a team obviously right now.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: And Portland is still without Grant and Holiday it looks
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: like until at least the next game. So I think
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: we're still looking at this thin rostered Portland team here.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Utah.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: I know they're without Kessler is at his name, whatever
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: he's been. He's obviously out for the season, but that's
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: in the case for a while.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Utah.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: They've been okay at times, and of course they've lost
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: three games in a row now. But I think they're
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be focused on this game, man, because when you're
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: on a losing streak, you've lost both games on the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: road so far, I think you're gonna show up and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: try to win a game. And you know they're not
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: gonna win against Oklahoma City in the next game. But
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna be a look ahead.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna show up and try to win
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: against Portland. Here now Utah, staying in the Pacific time zone.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Going from northern California up to Portland not a horrible
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: travel situation for them. I think they have one day
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: off there as well. Portland, they were turning over from
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a road trip, and I know it's not a long
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: road trip. It was from Wednesday through Saturday, but they
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma City, New Orleans and then they finished
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: the road trip by beating San Antonio. So I'm not
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: using the road trip return as the primary factor in
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: this one, like I kind of am with the Celtics
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: because there's a shorter road trip, but it is still
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: a form of road trip return, so that they might
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: be a little bit distracted having to get back to
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: home life and they're coming up beating San Antonio on
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: the road. Man, that was a monster upset win for Portland. Now,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know did Wemba play in this game or
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: did he not? No, I think he was out.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: He got hurt. So that was one thing I forgot
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: to mention.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: By the way, with the Spurs, they were in an
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: injured player theory spot, right, let me see, Oh, no,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I guess they were in the injured player theory spot
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: against Indiana. I guess yeah, because Wemby got hurt in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: the Knicks game. My mistake, by the way, I forgot
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: to mention the injured player. Theory spot for the Spurs
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: was the game at Indiana, so I forgot to factor
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: then into the handicap. But I didn't give out a
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: play in the game anyway, So my apologies.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I did forget that.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so Portland beat the Spurs without Wemby, but
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: that's still a huge win man an upset win on
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the road against a good Spurs team. So they are
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: coming off of that plus the small return home spot,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: and they face this Utah team. It's really easy to overlook.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: And then who does Portland play next? They play Houston
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: twice and then New York and Golden States, so all
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: of those games are bigger games in this one against Utah.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: So this is a sandwich spot that the Trailblazers are in.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we're blazing the trail here to a play
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: on the Utah Jazz. That's what we're doing. Looking at
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: the injury report, we do have a couple of game
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: time decisions with Nurkic and Bailey here Bailey dude, I
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: liked Bailey at Rutgers. Man, he's I think he's a
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: guy that he comes in. He serves a nice like
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: role player type of role I guess you want to
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: call it that right now. But we'll see how good
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: he can be man. But hopefully these guys play for
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: our purposes. Utah doesn't need Nurkic a bit because they
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: need more big men. They need big bodies, man, that's
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: what they need in this one.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a drop.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: Why not true blood and Chose. That's a very physic goal.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: I love watching Blaze like that. I know you like
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: all those bubble screens and three others. That's right. I
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: love to see.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: Big bodies man.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: That is an old clip man. The running back there
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers was Lea Garrett Blunt. Back then he
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: was a blunt instrument man. That guy was pretty sizable,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: big dude. He was like not not quite like Jerome
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Bett as the boss, but he was big. And yes,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: like I said, Holliday and Grant is still out for Portland,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: so that's been the case for a long time. But
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: that thins out their roster a bit, and it looks
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: like they might get Robert Williams back in the paint.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: There a paint presence.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: He's good in the paint, but we don't know how
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be with a bad knee, Like he's gonna
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: be like like the poor man's version of Joel embiid here.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I like Williams though, man. I liked him when he
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: was on the Celtics, Like I don't know. I loved
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: having that big, kind of physical, like that physical big man.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Their big body's banging. Yeah, that's what I liked. But overall, yes,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: horrible spot for Portland. I think we're gonna take the
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: jazz in this game. Hopefully we're gonna be playing some
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: jazz music in this one. Hopefully Urkice Place we can
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: kind of counter Robert Williams the third coming back. But
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: either way, I like the jazz. The money seems like
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: it's agreeing. Probably could have gotten the Blazers at seven
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: at some point. I never saw it. I know it's
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: a key number ish in basketball, but I think we're
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: still okay taking the points here. Six is the number
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: that I see seventy eight percent of tickets, eighty nine
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the jazz. I don't really
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: see the jazz being a public side. Really, like what
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: public better is gonna come in and play the Jazz.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really see it. They have
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: the worst record obviously. I know the Jazz aren't great
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: on the road, Like I said, they're better at home,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: but four and eleven on the road, I know it's
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: not good. But the Blazers have not been exactly great
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: at home either. It's seven and nine straight up. So
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: and we're not even asking the Jazz to win. We
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: just need them to cover.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: So go Jazz. Oh, that's what I need. I need
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: the Celtic Pride clips.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Whatever that Dan Ackroyd quote is from that movie. We're
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: there are four to root for the Jazz to stay
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: out of just stay out of prison after they kidnapped
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: the jazz star player looking very good, very fresh, Go
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Jazz whatever whatever the line was there, Dude, I need
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: to I need to get that clip, and I need
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: to get the Utah sucks.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Utah sucks. Another game.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Another movie that I'm an extra in, by the way,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Celtic Pride. If you slow it down, I think you
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: could see me as a kid with my dad there.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: We were extras for that movie. I love that movie. Man,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to say. It's a stupid comedy.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: People hate it, but it's ridiculous if you haven't seen
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: it before. It's Dan Akert and Daniel Stern with bad
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: like fake Boston accents. Really, Dan aker is the only
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: one trying to do one. And they are crazed Celtics
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: fans during the NBA Finals, and they sort of unwittingly
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: wind up kidnapping the best player of the Utah Jazz
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: after a night of drunkenness where they were really just
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: trying to get him drunk so that he wouldn't be
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: able to play well the next day, and they wind
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: up kidnapping him, and a whole bunch of stuff happens.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: Crazy movie, funny movie. Judd Apatow actually had some involvement
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: in that movie. Say what you want to about him,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: but he you know, I mean, he has some decent comedies.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: So there is that. Next day they barely beat the Jazz. Yes,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: you agree with those plays, all right, sob here we go.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: That's gonna do it.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Man, I appreciate it. Thanks everybody for hanging out Monday.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: It's small board, but the card is somewhat substantial. Here
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: we got college basketball. We got Ohio State minus the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: points in that one, or if you want to go
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: money line, you can, because you know, I think value
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: wise with the number, you're really teetering on the edge there.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: But I think it just has to be a play.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Man has to be based on the situation, and the
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: situation coupled with the unranked favorite versus ranked underdog situation
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: which worked out really well last year. But I don't
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: blindly play those right like I'm doing it based on
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: that plus it being the situation. Then NHL were on Utah.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: It's a very Utah day. Today NBA were on the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: Bulls plus the points, Rockets minus the points, and Jazz
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: plus the points. And I did have a lean to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets plus the points as well, which if I
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: was gonna add another play today would be that one.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: But I have my concerns about it, so that's gonna
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: do it. I appreciate everybody, thanks for hanging out.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Learn to tone on Twitter.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: You need subscribe to me there, like Jeffrey, you get
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: to be in a group chat with us. It's not
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: active at the moment, but once more subscribers come in,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: it'll be a more fun time.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: We got that learn a tone.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: On Instagram from my short form version of this content.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: We got to obviously like subscribe here on the channel YouTube.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Let's bump this channel up, baby, pump it up, dude,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: that's what I need.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: The Elvis Costellos. Pump it up. Yeah, we need to
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: get that going on.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I'll it'll be a copyright strike unless I use like
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: ten seconds of it or whatever. We're on audio as well.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: You can listen and review on audio. That helps me
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: out as well. On Apple and Spotify. Covered in you
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: because my yuke channel on YouTube, you can check that
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: out as well. We got patreon, dot com, slash and
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: learn to to. I got some decent pagre on support.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: I appreciate all you guys. I'm gonna have to start
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: handling these yuke requests. Man, it's not gonna be that easy.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Once I get through the once I feel the holiday
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: like days being over, I'm gonna try to get to that.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: I know, Charles says like three those are gonna trickle
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: in slowly if I'm able to do them. I got
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: another request. I got requests from a new guy, so
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: I gotta do. I gotta do at least one of
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: his probably first, I'm gonna try to do it. We'll
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: see if I can. But hopefully people are okay with
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: me taking my time on these, because especially when I
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: have to learn a song that I don't know that well,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: that takes me. If I if I know the song,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: it's gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna do it a.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Lot quicker so White Christmas.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: I know the song, I just never played it on
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: you before. But because I know the song, it was easier.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: So I did that for Charles. I'm ranting. I know
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the plug segment. I'm turning
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: into Austin Picard or whatever ten minute plugs where I
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: just go. I just sidetracked myself a million times. But yes,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: pedroon dot Com learned to tone for the bonus yuke stuff.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Check out the Loser cast. Of course, we'll be back
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Probably we'll see who won the biggest loser
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: of this past week. We had a lot of people
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: up for vote this week, and I had probably at
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: least four suggestions in this.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Hopefully one of mine was a winner. I don't know.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I kind of forget. I had Stefan Diggs as one
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: of them for the sports people there. I think I
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: might have had two sports related ones. Actually I forget.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I definitely had him up there, and I can't remember
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: if I had another one or not. Yeah, and that's
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: about it. I was on Gray Pilled last night with Jewels.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: It's a conspiracy themed podcast, so that it was more
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: of a kind of hang out interview type of thing
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: because I'm not totally in the conspiracy thing. But we
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: talked about various conspiracy related things, political conspiracies, we talked
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: about supernatural stuff. We talked about all kinds of things man,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: flat Earth, hollow Earth, we talked about ghosts, UFOs. Yeah,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: just all all different types of things. So you can
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: go check that out as well. And I will be
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: on Dude. I apologize to say keep forgetting the name
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: of the show. Let me see if I can get
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: it up here, because I can't remember the name of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the show. I'm gonna be on a show on Wednesday night,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: which is going to be Oh man, what's the name
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: of the show. Let me see it is, dude, here
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: it is. It's with these guys, Mark and Jake. The
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: name of the show is something with whiskey. I think
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: if by Whiskey. I think it's the name of the show.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Is that right.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on that show on Wednesday. Yeah, if
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: by Whiskey is the name of it, you can find
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: that they have some pretty big guests on that show.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Many apologize for not really knowing that much about the show.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: But that's the show. I'm gonna be on Wednesday night.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what time it is, but there
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: will be some tweets about it, I'm sure as well whatever,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: and if you follow them, it's probably I would imagine
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: it's on YouTube and whatever. So that's the show I'll
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: be on Wednesday.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: That's gonna do it. Man.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: Texans are not playing on the on the afternoon on Saturday. Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: they're They're playing the Monday night game, I think, right
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: against the Steelers. So that's uh, yeah, I don't know that.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: That might be one of the games that makes my card.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know yet.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Great pill, it's the it's the great But I think
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: I think the great pill just yeah, refers to like
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: it's like any of the other pills, where it's a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: form of thinking in a certain way or understanding. I
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: think the great pill just basically means that you're your
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: conspiracy pilled essentially like you, you understand the conspiracies. Man
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: Like you, you're able to see beyond like what people
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: Perceie Eva's reality. Yeah, not that kind of jewel. But yes,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Jeffery are rooting for the Eagles. They actually have a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: decent shot. So that's the other thing I should say
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. Of course, I will have to
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: do a special where I fill out my NFL bracket
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: that will come soon.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: That might be tonight, I don't or maybe I don't know.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: It will happened one of these days.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: And I think I'm gonna have Clint back on for
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: a new edition of Bald where we were going to
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: be cause I mentioned it on the Tower Gang New
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Year's Day. Check that out by the way, if you
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: unit see. And it wasn't really Tower Game, but Clint
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to do a stream and it wound up being
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: just him, me and then Tyler drunk and studio less.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: We did a Tower Gang New Year's show, so you can.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Go check that out.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: That's I had to take it down from the YouTube,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: but it is still on the Rumble, so you can
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: go check that out. That was on New Year's eve
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: into New Year's Day. So if people miss that, it
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: was a bit all over the place, but the Tower
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Gang fans probably enjoy it a little bit in a
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: style there.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so I did mention.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: With Clint there that yeah, we should do an episode
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: of Bald do the NFL playoff prediction.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: So I think we will do that.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: We got to do it this week at some point
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: before the weekend, so I'll talk to Clint and figure
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: out when we want to do that. It'll be one
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: of the nights this week, although I may do my
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: personal bracket special. I may do prior to that, though
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: you already know my thinking probably before that.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: But that's I don't know. It's kind of just the
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: way that it is.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I want to start doing bracketology shows,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: and I think Monday is a good day to do them.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, I'm almost considering maybe doing
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: it in the afternoon today. I got to think about
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: it because or I could do it tonight and do
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: the and do the the NFL like filling out my
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: brackets tonight too, because that show is not going to
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: be very long. So and then I don't know how

  Speaker 1: the bracketology is going to go, but I'm just obsessed
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: with bracketology. So i might have a subset of this
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: channel where I'm just talking about bracketology and stuff. Because
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: it's the year Man March madness. We're all every conference
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: is beginning conference play as of today, I think, so
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: I think the IVY is the last one to start.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: So we're we're into it. Man, We're into the the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: interesting stretch of college basketball here, and I start getting
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: excited trying to figure out who these teams are, so

  Speaker 1: be on the lookout for it. Of course, another reason
• 1:21:21

  Speaker 1: the notifications when I'm about to go live, because I
• 1:21:26

• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: come and I'll put the thing out and then it
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: will like you know, like I'll create the stream and
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: then I'll be still setting stuff up and whatever. So
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: usually I'm not starting it immediately after you get the notification.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, I'm ranting. Thanks guys, let's get
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: some wins today and peace for now be on the
• 1:21:55
