Transcript
- 0:00Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Your favorite time of week. You
- 0:03download the crazy sheets and get you some cold to drink, and you get
- 0:06ready to talk about some college football betting. I'm Mark and I'm in the
- 0:10college football podcasting studio actually known as my backyard, and Scotty's at home.
- 0:15Brother, How the hell are you man? Good? Glad to be home?
- 0:18Sorry? Miss? Last week, our schedules were a mess. Couldn't
- 0:21really get going. You had night and I had day booked and we just
- 0:25couldn't just couldn't get it rolling. One night we could have recorded, I
- 0:28was at dinner until the wee hours, so I did not want it,
- 0:35and listeners probably did not want any part of me after I'd been drinking for
- 0:40about six hours either or so might have had a little bit of a thick
- 0:43tongue, a little thick tongue to take sure go sure, got you there?
- 0:47Not a bad week last week, I mean we actually want some money.
- 0:50We bet some other games we talked about. The podcast did pretty well,
- 0:53but interesting things. I mean, Washington showed out our ticket that we've
- 0:57got preseason on Washington to win the pack twelve. Looks good, but at
- 1:02the same time, I'm really looking forward to hopefully seeing the Oregon Washington rematch
- 1:07to win the pack to him. I thought that was a great game.
- 1:10I thought that was a tremendous game. It was everything it was cracked up
- 1:14to be. I want to comment on bow Knicks. We want a lot
- 1:19of money betting against that guy on the road. He's played two really tough
- 1:23ro games because that environment at Lubbock was tough early in the year, and
- 1:29he's played well. Yeah, I mean he is. I mean, I
- 1:33am. Look, he was super talented coming out. Dad was a good
- 1:36quarterback in the SEC. Kid obviously had talent. But I mean, I
- 1:40am just amazed at the at the progression he's made since he left Auburn.
- 1:48I mean, he is just it really is impressive. And there's two things
- 1:51that come to mind. First, you gotta go where you're a good fit.
- 1:55He doesn't go to Auburn. If Dad hadn't have been the quarterback at
- 1:57Auburn and he grew and he had grown up an Auburn fan his whole life,
- 2:01and he basically wasted three years of development. That guy may already be
- 2:06in the NFL had he gone through an Oregon or a proper fit initially,
- 2:13and you know, but kudos to that kid. And I find myself really
- 2:19cheering for him because as much as I, as much as I lament transferring,
- 2:25no kid ever needed to leave more than that kid needed to leave the
- 2:30situation and get a fresh start. And kudos to him for taking advantage of
- 2:35it and capitalizing on it. Is he's playing really good football. Because he
- 2:39played well enough to win the second half, they were the better football team
- 2:43in that ball game, and I just I feel like the crowd and the
- 2:46road environment was probably the difference in that ballgame. But I think both those
- 2:52teams are really good. I have not seen anything that makes me think that
- 2:55they're candidly not two of the five six best teams in the country. So
- 3:00I think both those teams you know, ought to be in still in the
- 3:05national title all because I think they're both really good football teams. I would
- 3:08tell you right now if you I'm not a big Heisman better I've never won
- 3:12the Heisman, But if you go out and look, you can find bow
- 3:15Nicks at thirty to one to win the Heisman. And the reason I put
- 3:20this out there is they've still got some big games ahead of them, they're
- 3:23gonna be faking in all of them, and then they're there, and Washington's
- 3:27got a much tougher schedule. Morton muche Cupper road down the stretch here.
- 3:30Yeah, I agree. And so if you're looking at just taking a flyer
- 3:35pizza money, fifty bucks, twenty bucks, hunter bucks whatever at thirty to
- 3:39one, which you can still get at a lot of places, it's pretty
- 3:43open at commonly at twenty to one, I wouldn't tell you that's a bad
- 3:46bet because if you look around at anybody else that you think could be in
- 3:50the Heisman conversation, Drake May at North Carolina, I mean, they're doing
- 3:53great things that are out there. I don't know what big win he's got
- 3:58left on their schedule that's gonna to propel him to that. Pennix obviously is
- 4:01the leader in the clubhouse. I think Pennix is a little banged up,
- 4:05but they've also got a really tough roads. Like you said, ahead Caleb,
- 4:10I think is done after that showing last week against Notre Dame. Quinn
- 4:14Ewers hasn't done anything. McCarthy up there hadn't done anything as much as I
- 4:19would have loved to brought Bowers make a run at it. He's out at
- 4:23least until the SEC Championship, and they're not saying a guy who deserved it.
- 4:27Yeah, he was the most I would tell you he was. He's
- 4:30gonna be the most influential player. And by that what I mean is losing
- 4:32him, George's offense is gonna have to change. Somebody in that receiving room
- 4:36is gonna have to make a step up, and it may be you know,
- 4:40Mconkee Thomas could think. I think he's gonna be roight Rod Thomas.
- 4:45He's got the ability to do it. They've just been so reliant on him
- 4:49because he was such a blanket. I think that the money they spent in
- 4:55the portal getting him, I think is gonna end up now being money well
- 4:59spent. Because still think the only game they could lose down the stretch is
- 5:01at Tennessee, so that that puts them in the national title I mean in
- 5:05the SEC title game with a chance to play for the nagging because if you
- 5:09look at the end of Georgia's schedule, there's some actual I mean, I
- 5:12like, I think Ole Miss could be a problem for him. Well,
- 5:15without Bowers, I hadn't thought that the whole year. But without Bowers,
- 5:18this is a different football team. I agree, and and so yeah,
- 5:23I mean they got to go to Athens, so that's gonna be tough.
- 5:26But uh, Rabble was playing good football and they could easily be I think,
- 5:30I'll be honest, I think Kiffen got caught up in a mental in
- 5:35in a mental war with Saving, and it cost his team the football game.
- 5:41Uh he did some overthinking in that football game. So anyway, I
- 5:45say that I think the Rubbels are good. That defensive problem though they're man,
- 5:48it is good, but uh and I know that. And man,
- 5:53they're signing guys like mad I mean, you would think that defense would would
- 5:58would be getting better, and I guess it is getting better, but man,
- 6:00it's still a long way from good. So and going against those guys
- 6:04every day in practice, because that offense is good and it's talented, you
- 6:08would think they would get better. So anyway, that'll be an interesting game.
- 6:12Savings just churning right along, you know. I mean outside of this
- 6:15game, there's really not much else he can lose this weekend that's left on
- 6:19the schedule, So you know, those guys are craying along I mean,
- 6:24obviously they can lose to LSU, but I would be very surprised that they
- 6:28did as bad as that LSU defense looks. So it'll be interesting to see.
- 6:34The That is intriguing to me is Oklahoma. Even after that win,
- 6:41nobody's talking about it. I agree, I agree, And I'll tell you
- 6:45what, man, I loved Dylan Gabriel when he was at UCF and then
- 6:47they kind of wrote him off, and then last year he was hurt.
- 6:49I loved him last year until we got hurt. They were that was actually
- 6:53a pretty good man. He was explosive in some games and then gets hurt
- 6:57and it's like they just went in the tank and everybody's like, oh,
- 6:59they're terrible, and they fire their coach. I'm like, well, their
- 7:00quarterbacks been hurt all year. Yeah. I totally agree. And I actually
- 7:04snatched up after one of the games we watched. I gotta know you ticket
- 7:08at twenty five and one to win the national championship, and I mentioned it
- 7:11on the show and it was for fifty bucks, right, But I've got
- 7:14that. I've got a Washington one and one another I can't remember what it
- 7:15is. But point being is their Oklahoma's schedule with you look what they've got
- 7:19left. It's very manageable. The Big Twelve is not very good now.
- 7:24When they play Texas again, most likely in the in the Big Twelve Championship,
- 7:28Texas will be favored again and Texas probably should have won that game last
- 7:31time. But oh you got it done. They're still pretty healthy. They
- 7:34did lose Mattower, their right guard. It's like a five year starter kid
- 7:39transferred in from cal and that one. But I think he's gonna be back.
- 7:45I ran into him a couple of weeks ago when he was in town,
- 7:46and it seems like he'll be back by the end of this And he's
- 7:49just a pretty good leader on the offensive line. But don't sleep on Oklahoma.
- 7:53I think Venables has done a really good job improving that defense, and
- 7:58which is hard to do when you're running a offense that wants to run as
- 8:01fast as they can run. And so I've been good there, but a
- 8:05couple of teams I'm gonna talk about. I've impressed with Missouri. Man,
- 8:09he's done a great job. Lock's done fantastic. I thought out there.
- 8:13I've I've bought in. Uh, I mean, what he's got going Theo
- 8:16Weese, the transfer from Oklahoma, and Lynn Barton the other wide receiver them.
- 8:22Man, they're playing lights out and that that team looks solid h all
- 8:26the way around. Let's talk about the Wagon and the Sun Belt. Can
- 8:31we talk about James Madison for a second. Yes, that's where I was
- 8:33gonna go talking about another team. Nobody's talking about. Man, they are
- 8:37giving up less than two yards of care. I mean at that they're playing
- 8:41some football. I mean, not only are they undefeated. I want to
- 8:45comment on one thing. Last week ended up betting Pittsburgh and everybody's like,
- 8:50are you crazy? Have you seen Louisville. I'm like, that team's not
- 8:52good enough to go undefeated. I'm like they've got more holes and Swiss cheese.
- 8:56They're just getting it done because they got good coaches. I'm like,
- 9:00sooner or later they're gonna go on the road and they're gonna lay a third.
- 9:03Well it came Saturday. James Madison doesn't feel that way because they play
- 9:07such good defense, and that is to me, that is what's gonna make
- 9:15this team, I think be able to carry on this record. Are they're
- 9:18going to go undefeated? Probably not. I mean they may lose this weekend.
- 9:22I don't think so, but they certainly could. But they look good
- 9:26and I want to talk about going back and some of my teams we were
- 9:31big on, but they lost some games. You know, I kind of
- 9:35backed off of South Alabama a little bit after James Madison gas Candam and I
- 9:41thought, well, maybe I missed on these guys. Maybe, you know,
- 9:43I man, I'm not gonna keep riding it. Total mistake. Now
- 9:46they're in the fun belt and getting back at it, and just gas Cannon
- 9:50people and I made bet against Southern miss every game this week. They got
- 9:56murdered last week. Go on the road to app State next this coming week.
- 10:01I mean that's probably another game they're probably not gonna play very well in.
- 10:03Although I'm not a huge amount of Appellites and State fan either, but
- 10:07uh man, they do not look good. South Alabama playing again next week
- 10:13early in the week. I think I'm about to get back on those guys
- 10:16too. Yeah, there's there's some good teams if you're willing to dig into
- 10:20it. The MAC is terrible. Just Terri in the conference across the board
- 10:24has been better. I'll tell you he's playing well. We're gonna talk about
- 10:28him again. I don't need to cut into it, but Arford, Ohio
- 10:33Miami of Ohio's kind of got it, got it rolling. I don't think
- 10:35I think those guys are covered. I think they're undefeated against the spread if
- 10:39I remember right. I've got some notes written down on that game. But
- 10:41the uh, but man, they're playing pretty good football. Stunned Ohio couldn't
- 10:46get it done last week, uh on the road. That they're better.
- 10:50That feels like they're a better team than that. They let that one get
- 10:52away from them. Uh and that you know what may cost them their division
- 10:56and get and cost them a chance to uh to play for the conference championship.
- 11:01So as a big loss for the Bobcats. Yeah, so, I
- 11:05mean there's still be a long way to go. You know, we talked
- 11:07about this after three weeks in. Here we are six weeks in. You
- 11:11know. One of the things we said we wouldn't talk about it anymore was
- 11:13Colorado they won't be I mean not because we don't like Colorado, just we
- 11:16didn't think they'd be in the picture again. But somehow Prime has got him
- 11:20back in there. The Stanford game last week, when they gave up all
- 11:24those points to lose. It was just amazing. But I'm gonna say one
- 11:28thing and we can move on. Travis Hunter is amazing, and yes he
- 11:33is. But the thing is, dude, you can't. I mean,
- 11:37if you haven't watched Stanford play yet, both Stanford and Colorado have to be
- 11:41running tempo wise top fifteen, top twenty teams in the country as far as
- 11:46just seconds per snap. Travis Hunter played one hundred and fifty seven snaps in
- 11:52Boulder at Altitude last week. I think they're gonna fucking kill that kid.
- 11:56I mean, I know he's special, but like on offense, a freak
- 12:00in that game. But defensively you could tell at the end of the game
- 12:03they and they think it, yeah, he was out of it, and
- 12:07and so I just kind of wonder that, you know, and I get
- 12:11it what they're trying to do. And I wish there was more kids that
- 12:13would snub into go, you know, play corner when they're you know,
- 12:16for ten plays or twenty plays a game that are wide receivers or what it
- 12:20may be, or vice versa. But that kid, I mean, I
- 12:24think they're just gonna run the run, the rubber right off the tires on
- 12:26that man. And he is. He's a special kind of athlete. I
- 12:31said this on Sunday talking UH to some guys. We were talking about football
- 12:35and what you think, and I said, basically the same thing you and
- 12:37I have not talked about Travis Hunter. I said, the sad part for
- 12:41this kid is where his I believe where he transitions in the NFL's wide receiver
- 12:46I do too. I think he's a slot guy in it. I think
- 12:48he's a slot guy in the NFL and the and the guy is impressive.
- 12:52He can make plays and he can get open. But the problem is he's
- 12:58not playing enough at either either one to concentrate on it to get grade at
- 13:03his craft. And that's gonna hurt him at the end of the day.
- 13:07And you got I understand he's talented, but man, it takes a lot.
- 13:11These kids put in a lot of work to get grade at their craft.
- 13:16And I just wonder, like you, at the so many snaps,
- 13:20is that get taken a lot of tread off his tires, a lot of
- 13:24tread And the NFL worries about that. They get concerned about that, and
- 13:28he's gonna roll up there like he played eight years of college football. Oh,
- 13:33Scott is gott it. That was last week. Man, we had
- 13:35a winning week. What's our total app for the podcast for the season,
- 13:39thirty seven, thirty two and one. Had a couple of difficult weeks after
- 13:43a couple of really good weeks. But we're about to get it back,
- 13:46baby. Getting into October. You and I have always struggled a little bit
- 13:50in October, and I think it's because the books get dialed in and then
- 13:54we always kind of find our stride into October first of November. So here
- 13:58it comes, baby, Let's get on track this week. First game we
- 14:01got Wednesday night, Battle of I ten. I read this morning. This
- 14:05is the one hundredth time these two teams have played. And see you suh.
- 14:09That would be New Mexico State traveling two l Passole to play the mighty
- 14:13Miners that you've got out there. I'm with the New Mexico State on this
- 14:18one. I think I talked about it a little bit if you caught the
- 14:20Monday podcast I put out just trying to get ahead of things. I laid
- 14:24three with New Mexico State in this one. They got a quarterback, Diego
- 14:26Pavia. Kid's probably gonna be the best player on the field in this one
- 14:31and UTEP's defenses. UTEP has not been playing well. I think Dana Dimmel
- 14:35is on a massive hot seat. They did get the win last week,
- 14:39but this New Mexico State team's playing for some revenge. They haven't won this
- 14:43game in several years. They're four and three straight up. This team's two
- 14:46wins away from getting to go to a bowl game. And I mean,
- 14:50if you're Jerry Kill, he's got them dialed in. They seem to play
- 14:54Hungary. It's a rivalry game. I would normally really like the points in
- 14:58this one, but I just think New mex Coast State's a better squad.
- 15:01I'm gonna lay the three with New Mexico State Aggie's in this one. When
- 15:03they travel to l Passole tonight to play this game, I do too.
- 15:07Look, I think this will be a I think this will be an ugly
- 15:09game, but I think it's the ability for New Mexico State to run the
- 15:15football averaging six yards of carry versus that UTEP defense given up five yards to
- 15:20carry. Strength on weakness generally translates well when you're playing in a ball game.
- 15:24And look, while this is on the road, what is this thirty
- 15:30minutes apart, I think apart something like that, something like it's not max
- 15:35hour. Yeah, it's not very I mean it's it'd be like me driving,
- 15:37like people driving down from Denton for North Texas to go play s m
- 15:41U. Yeah, I mean that's basically what this is. Like. I
- 15:45think they'll have a good crowd at this one. And the other thing too
- 15:46is if you get a chance to, if you listen to this, and
- 15:48you listen on your way home and get home, turn on the sun Bowl.
- 15:50It's a it's it's a beautiful venue set right there in the side of
- 15:54the mountains. It's a great spot. So let's ride New Mexico State maybe
- 15:58minus three Wednesday night, the use the game Thursday night, Sunbelt Baby.
- 16:03James Madison will be traveling to Hunting to West Virginia to get this one on.
- 16:07This is an old lift CS rivalry. These teams have played several times
- 16:10over under Here's forty nine and a half. James Madison's laying somewhere between two
- 16:15and a half to three and a half. It's pretty well painted across the
- 16:18board. At this point, we talked about how much we think James Madison's
- 16:22a wagon. Are we gonna ride him in the snow? Are we gonna
- 16:23ride him Thursday night? We're gonna ride them in? And look, I
- 16:26like Charles huff At Marshall. I think he's doing a good job. You
- 16:30know, he's a State he's a Penn State. Mississippi State former running back
- 16:34coach left State to go to Alabama under Saban. I think he's a potential
- 16:38big time head coach. Uh, just simply because that's what he was was
- 16:42a good recruiter at all of those schools. Uh, he's the guy who
- 16:45signs Aquarius Marks and Dylan Johnson or Washington listeners recognized Dylan Johnson Missippi State transferred.
- 16:52That's up there. And then Marx is obviously the best player Mississippi State's
- 16:57got by a couple of miles. So it's ah, So he's a good
- 17:02recruiter. Can I do ify talent? And I like him, But I
- 17:06just think this James Madison team is playing really, really good football and no
- 17:11one has ever made the jump better than they are making the jump. And
- 17:18I understand they're not playing in the Southeastern Conference or whatever. They're playing some
- 17:22decent football teams. And to get this early in your tenure to six and
- 17:27zero and already be Bowl eligible as we're talking about before Halloween. Man,
- 17:33that's impressive. I like James Madison. I mentioned their run defense. They're
- 17:37giving up one point five yards a rush. That is impressive. I don't
- 17:44care if you're playing middle schoolers. That is a really, really good job
- 17:48of playing defense. I think that is the difference in this ball game.
- 17:52Again, I like James Madison. I like the opportunity for him to get
- 17:56it to get it done. They they're able to make everybody a one dimensional
- 18:00team, and yet they can get enough pressure on the quarterback that it creates
- 18:06problems or plus four in the turnover department. Marthall's minus two in the turnover
- 18:11department, and that's all from that defensive line being able to dominate upfront.
- 18:15They're able to drop guys, create some pressure on some guys without having the
- 18:19blitz every day. So that's what I like about this football. One thing
- 18:22I want you to keep in mind too, when you're thinking about James Mason's
- 18:26the season goes on, because I got to feel them. But this won't
- 18:26be our last time we're going to be on these guys. This team cannot
- 18:30play for the Sun Belt Championship because they can't go to a bowl. The
- 18:34only way they get to go to a bowl is if there's not enough teams
- 18:37that qualify, and then they can slide in, I do think, and
- 18:41if I'm wrong, somebody hit me up on Twitter. Though. If this
- 18:42team qualifies for a New Year's sixth Bowl, they actually could get a chance
- 18:48to go to one of those. And definitely can do that. And so
- 18:51the one thing I will tell you is is this team's gonna have a lot
- 18:53of grit in its teeth all season long. And that's the reason I'm not
- 18:56scared to lay points on the road against this more Marshall team that I do
- 19:00think is good. But I think this Madison team gets it done. Only
- 19:03other game I got Scott during the week. I haven't played it yet,
- 19:07but I may lay some Rice team total. They're against Tulsa. Tulsa's defense
- 19:12is terrible and J. T. Daniels has been spinning the bean pretty solid
- 19:17for this Rice team. He's got into three and three here and they're scoring
- 19:19thirty two points a game. So if I can find a good number,
- 19:22I may dive in on that. I need to look at the weather in
- 19:25the SMU Temple game. That game is going to be played in Philly.
- 19:27Temple's backup quarterback came in for Kurt Warner's kid last week. He's rough,
- 19:33bro, It's all I'm telling you. You may want to look at a
- 19:36team total in SMU as well. If you can get something around a twenty
- 19:38seven and a half, I would tell you that could even be playable and
- 19:42go from there. It's moving on. Let's go to big ten. I
- 19:45think we leave James Madison. Got one other thing I want to say.
- 19:48Yeah, if your Virginia Tech, if you don't go hire Kirk Signetti,
- 19:56then you deserve everything you get. I mean, he's definitely winning the battle
- 20:00at the DMV from recruiting standpoint. I mean, it's unbelievable. He already
- 20:06knows the state. I mean, he's got a better program than both those
- 20:10big schools. Oh yeah, one hundred percent he does. It's not even
- 20:12close. Yeah, how the if that guy didn't get that or the Virginia
- 20:15job. You deserve everything you can deserve. You can get everything you deserve.
- 20:21So anyway, Scotty, moving on. Biggest game we got on the
- 20:23board this weekend or gotta be the biggest game this weekend Penn State Ohio State.
- 20:27This will be a noon Eastern kickoff over under here is listed at forty
- 20:30five and a half. Ohio State is getting four and a half. Are
- 20:34excuse me, laying four and a half points in this one? Penn State
- 20:37scoring forty four points a game, they're only giving up eight, six and
- 20:41oh straight up. And as you know, James Franklin's coaching this team,
- 20:45and that motherfucker knows what the spread is. Every week. He's six and
- 20:47oh against the number. Ohio State is also six, is scoring thirty six
- 20:51points a game, given up nine point seven. He's six and oh straight
- 20:53up three two and one against the number. I'm gonna roll real quick on
- 20:57this one and see what you gotta think. But I like Penn State in
- 21:00the spot. Penn State getting four and a half. Might even look for
- 21:03a five in there if you can, you might find one. The only
- 21:07thing is Ryan Day has absolutely owned James Franklin since he's gotten up there.
- 21:12I think he's something stupid like thirty five and zero against Ohio State teams that,
- 21:17excuse me, the big ten teams that aren't Michigan. And on the
- 21:21flip side, of that, James Franklin against ranked teams is like four and
- 21:25fourteen, and so this being on the road, Jim Knowles's defense has absolutely
- 21:30stepped up. They were the difference last year in this game was JTT that
- 21:34defensive tackle that they've got there was a huge difference. But I like what
- 21:38I've gotten from Penn State. They've got physicality defensively, they've played well.
- 21:42We're gonna find out what they've got. And to me, Ohio State just
- 21:48looks a little off. And I don't know if Trevon Henderson's gonna play or
- 21:51not. They're kind of banged up in the wide receiver position as well.
- 21:55But if they can't run the ball, I just can't see him being overly
- 21:57explosive against Penn State. They've got three NFL defensive backs on that Penn State
- 22:02football team. I'm gonna roll Penn State to get it done this week.
- 22:06I think they pulled the upset. Frankly, great point on Penn State.
- 22:11That was one of the things I have They don't want here since twenty eleven.
- 22:14Lord, you get a program like Penn State, Man, they're not
- 22:18supposed to go twelve years without beating anybody on the ruck. I mean serious.
- 22:22They shouldn't be losing to anybody six straight times on the road. They
- 22:26really shouldn't. They have too good of a program to do that. I
- 22:30agree with you. To me, this is all about Ohio State. Can
- 22:33they figure out a way to get that run game going. And if they
- 22:37can't, I don't think you're gonna see a whole lot of dropping eight from
- 22:41Penn State. They're gonna be getting after his ass because I think they feel
- 22:45like they're one of the few schools They've got good enough defensive backs to actually
- 22:51cover some of these guys. Look Harringson's legit. I mean that, no
- 22:55matter who they're playing or how good the guy he's playing is, he's gonna
- 22:57get his Yeah, you drop that guy most NFL rosters, and he's gonna
- 23:00be the best player on the on their roster. That wide receiver. Just
- 23:04a handful of schools that he wouldn't be I guy a player. Ohio State
- 23:08obviously has great wide receivers. They always do. It's not just him.
- 23:11They've got some good some other good ones. But I believe they have to
- 23:17be able to run the football, and they have not done it. If
- 23:19they can't run the football better against than they did against Notre Dame. They're
- 23:23gonna lose this ball game. I don't care if it's at home. Understand
- 23:27that ball game was in South Bend. I don't care. They're gonna lose
- 23:32the They're gonna lose this football game. They have to be able to take
- 23:36some pressure off that quarterback because at the end of the day, Penn State
- 23:40is going to be aggressive. I like Penn State and this ball game as
- 23:44well. I love getting this many points, but I agree with you.
- 23:48I think Penn State may win this football game. Yeah. Notre Dame defensively
- 23:52put up a hell of a fight against Ohio State, and they had a
- 23:55chance to win that game. And I think Penn State's defense I've graded it
- 23:59out a little bit higher, and so that's where I'm gonna roll with it.
- 24:02But yeah, the only thing that gets me is Franklin just being able
- 24:04to get over the hump. But they win here a ton of momentum.
- 24:08It's exciting. Let's see how you know how big You know how big that
- 24:11game in a couple of weeks will be. If because they play Michigan November
- 24:17eleventh at home, you know how big that game will be Oh, because
- 24:21I think this is the first time market If I'm not, I think that
- 24:25this is the first time they're going to have done two whiteouts. Oh was
- 24:29that right? I didn't know in the same season. If I know,
- 24:32I read that somewhere and I just can't. I'll ask one of my buddies
- 24:36next week and confirm that he's a Penn State guy. But man, I
- 24:40am pretty sure that's the case. They're gonna do it again. That's gonna
- 24:42be another huge game. If they win this ball game, that sets up
- 24:47something just gigantic with a trap game waiting on deck at Maryland right before it.
- 24:53So that's an interesting, interesting part of the schedule. But they get
- 25:00to play two straight home games and then and in Michigan State on the neutral
- 25:03field after mission that get Rutgers in Michigan State on the neutral field. They
- 25:08win this ball game, you're talking about Penn State having a legit chance at
- 25:12a national championship even if they lose that game to Michigan. Yeah. I
- 25:18think if you want to buy a Penn State National championship ticket, I haven't
- 25:21looked at the odds, but you probably have to put some pizza money on
- 25:22it now. Uh And and I don't think it's a bad investment. I
- 25:26mean, because it's not a bad ticket to hole the only thing. How
- 25:30big of a ship burger do you think Fox feels like they're having to eat
- 25:34the fact that they're going to have to roll out either Michigan, Ohio State
- 25:38or Penn State to play Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game because they still
- 25:45have conferences in there. Like if you're if you're Fox, don't you go
- 25:48to the Big Ten and be like, hey, look man, we'll write
- 25:49y'all check for ten million. So that, but but don't make us put
- 25:55Iowa in the Big Ten Championship. Yeah, don't don't. Don't make us
- 25:56put don't make us put Iowa. And they so that they can just somebody
- 26:00can just go get brittled. And the sad part is the sad part is
- 26:07I believe it is entirely possible that we end up with all three of these
- 26:11teams one loss, probably because I think they're all really good football teams.
- 26:17Big ten's really top heavy because the rest of that league is just kind of
- 26:19mad. But boy, to three at the top are really good football teams.
- 26:23We're not going to get see one of two of those three play again.
- 26:29Sucks. Well if you're you know, if you're the Big Ten next
- 26:33year when they I don't know how they're going to do it. I haven't
- 26:34seen anything. But when you roll Oregon, USC, UCLA, and Washington
- 26:40in there, at least at this point, they'll have a conference championship.
- 26:44That makes sense because you're gonna have seven or eight heavyweights in there based on
- 26:48how those programs are all rolling. So that's next year. I'm excited for
- 26:51it, Scotty. Let's stay in the Big Ten. Let's do an interstate
- 26:56rivalry game. Wolverines will be traveling out to Sparti and East Lansing to play
- 27:00Little Brother. We were all on Sparti last week and they had a chance
- 27:03to win that game. They made so many errors at the end line here
- 27:07is twenty four over unders forty eight. If you've watched Michigan play all season
- 27:11long, and they're just bullies, and I mean that in the best way.
- 27:15They are physical, they play as a team. I mean, I
- 27:19guarantee you, if you're not a Michigan fan, you might not be able
- 27:22to name three players on their team. But trust me when I tell you
- 27:26as a unit. These guys can get it done, and they have just
- 27:30played so well. I've been so impressed with them. Sparti on the other
- 27:34side, I think d Antonio coming in is a big spike, big spike
- 27:38for this team. But they've still did the rosters just depleted. It's not
- 27:44nearly as good. I mean, look at the quarterback for Auburn was supposed
- 27:48to It was this quarterback at spring training at Michigan State. The guy that's
- 27:52probably gonna win the Bolitnikoff Keon Coleman at Florida State was on the roster the
- 27:59spring training and so I mean, that's what kind of talent left this roster
- 28:03that they've had to replace, never mind all the other stuff that's gone around
- 28:06it. I'm gonna I mean, I think you're on the same side.
- 28:08I lean Michigan to cover this one, but you're gonna laugh how I'm gonna
- 28:11play this game. I think Michigan State's gonna come out with their hair on
- 28:15fire, throw everything they can at this game. I may take me a
- 28:18Sparty, especially if I can get me a Sparty plus fourteen and a half
- 28:22ish for the first half and then turn around and play Michigan second half in
- 28:26Michigan second for the game total. This Michigan team in the second half reminds
- 28:32me of Penn State a few years ago, when like you almost had to
- 28:34set your alarm to go bet Penn State in the second half because they're just
- 28:37so physical that they just wear you down. And if granted these are lower
- 28:42level teams that low yeah, and so I like it, but that's where
- 28:45i'd roll with it. Michigan minus twenty four. Yeah, Look, Michigan
- 28:52just keeps They just keep doing a good job just pounding guys. That's the
- 28:56second half, You're right. I mean they look where I take that Minnesota
- 29:00game, and that game was competitive for a long time in the first half.
- 29:04Hell, I think they were behind for a little while and just you
- 29:08look up and their gaps can I'm at the end of the game. It's
- 29:11like that every week. They just body blow, body blow, body blow.
- 29:17They're terrible in the first half for the most part. They come out
- 29:21flat, and I think that's a testament to how good this football team is.
- 29:25It's not a raw rah, it's not all jazzed up. They just
- 29:29come out with a workmanlike attitude and go to town and just wear you down,
- 29:36and they just keep coming and coming, and you look up and you've
- 29:38lost my four touchdowns. And that is that's the way this team. That
- 29:44is truly the way this team feels. I love watching this hardball football team.
- 29:48This is the best team to me that he's had, So I'm excited
- 29:52with you. I actually like exactly what you're talking about. I like all
- 29:57three of those lines on gonna take the number because I think they're gonna they're
- 30:02gonna put their line out second half number if you're right, and it is
- 30:07close, because this is really the first game we're gonna have gotten some a
- 30:11game where these kids care and they're fired up, free game, wanting to
- 30:15really put a boot in somebody's neck. So I don't know if they they
- 30:18may come out their hair on fire, which they hadn't done all year.
- 30:21Is the reason I'm gonna lay off that first half. But if Michigan States
- 30:25are going to keep it close, you bet your bottom dollar I'm taking Michigan
- 30:27second half, and I'll obviously be on the game total as well. So
- 30:32yeah, we both like we both like Michigan in this small game. Lite,
- 30:34let's stay in the Midwest Gotti. Toledo will be traveling to Oxford,
- 30:37Ohio to play Miami of Ohio. Over under here is forty eight and a
- 30:41half. Miami of Ohio is getting one and a half. Both of these
- 30:45teams are six and one straight up. Miami of Ohio is six and one
- 30:49against the number, whereas Toledo is two and five against the number. I'll
- 30:55put this out there because I know what your MC play of the week,
- 30:56But if you go look at who these teams have played, Miami Ohio has
- 31:00got a much more difficult schedule than what Toledo's played thus far. Could we
- 31:04get a home dog pulling an upset here against what would be the power of
- 31:10the MAC Conference. You know we're gonna get a upset here. I do
- 31:12like Miami in this ball game. Toledo has not. I thought kendidly,
- 31:17I thought they were gonna look better than they have. So yeah, I
- 31:19got a lot of concern for him going on the road here. I agree
- 31:22with you. Miami has already got a really good win against Cincinnati, uh
- 31:26in that ball game earlier in the year. This is a pretty good football
- 31:30team. I like these guys as both of them. Both of them are
- 31:33six and one difference is Miami six and one against the number six and one
- 31:38against the number six and one overall as well, I like them here to
- 31:42move to seven and one against the number which will align this close very likely
- 31:47means they win the ball game as well. Give me some Oxford Ohio Miami
- 31:52Ohio for the cover on the MAC Play of the week. Yeah, I
- 31:56like it. I think I think Miami's got a better quarterback play. I
- 31:59like Daykon Fin a lot quarterback at Toledo. I know a lot of y'all
- 32:02this game is not gonna get watched. It's gonna lose in the wash because
- 32:06it's gonna be buried somewhere. But but I think I think Gabbert has done
- 32:10a really good job at Miami Ohio, and so I like what they've done
- 32:14here. We've bet on this team a lot over the years. Hopefully we'll
- 32:16be back on him as the weeks start coming for Martin's a good football coach,
- 32:20told. I mean, people don't realize he's this is a tenth year
- 32:24year there. I mean that is I mean that's crazy. I mean that
- 32:29is a long time to be there. I mean, yes, he does
- 32:32not have a winning record versus the FBS. But man, he's done an
- 32:40awesome job. Fourteen games under but he's twelve games over the spread. So
- 32:45I mean, at the end of the day, these teams are competitive,
- 32:47they get they get ready to play when they need to. He had a
- 32:51great record at Division two when he was there. I think Chuck Martin's a
- 32:53good football coach. Let's stay in a small conference game, Scotty. Let's
- 32:59travel down to Lafayette, Louisiana for a Sunbelt matchup that we've got there.
- 33:04I gotta find this game on the board. I pulled up in front of
- 33:06me. Georgia State ULA LA be playing Saturday night in Lafayette. Ula LA
- 33:13lay in three at home. Georgia State's coming in here. They're five and
- 33:17one straight up, four and two against the number. Ula LA is four
- 33:21and two straight up, two and four against the number. I'm gonna say
- 33:23this, I really am surprised at Ula LA, but that they've played this
- 33:29well thus far. This was a team I had downgraded a lot after last
- 33:34season, you know, because when you lose Sun Belt Billy to go coach
- 33:37at the University of Florida, I thought he took the magic with him.
- 33:40Like he took all those kids on that roster, and so I'm surprised that
- 33:44they've played as well. But to be laying three against the Georgia State team,
- 33:47who I think has a chance to win the Sun Belt, I don't
- 33:51know what about you. You know, at the end of the day,
- 33:54I love made some Georgia State. They've been playing well all year a lot,
- 33:59the way they're running all we talked about that that game at Coastal and
- 34:01then just off the radar, I came back and took Coastal the next week
- 34:06against Happy. That team's not as bad as Georgia State made them look.
- 34:10And I think Georgia and look, Georgia State just went full gas can last
- 34:15week against Marshall. I mean that was just that was a shredding And I
- 34:19just think this team's playing well and they're doing it because they're able to run
- 34:22the football. Ula LA's turning the football over. We lost this game with
- 34:25Texas State and ula LA a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get that
- 34:29game wrong and there's a couple of huge turnovers that cost us that game,
- 34:32and they were run after they were catched. They were runs after the catch.
- 34:37Turnovers where guys are, you know, moving the ball down the field
- 34:42and then fumble the football. So I don't think we got that game wrong.
- 34:45I don't think a lot of texts that good. They made a couple
- 34:47of big plays. There weren't eight people in this stadium for that ball game
- 34:52during the day. There probably won't be but sixteen there this week for Georgia
- 34:55State. Give me Georgia State. They're gonna beat these guys because are going
- 34:59to win at the line of scrimmage. Take Georgia State in the money line.
- 35:02Baby, get you a little sprinkling there, get you some extra cheese.
- 35:05I'll have to look that up here in a little bit, Scotti.
- 35:07These next couple of games, we've got who baby Alabama Tennessee. Big game.
- 35:14Let's smoke us a cigar. We got a little revenge factor on this
- 35:16one from last season. If you remember last year Tennessee, this is when
- 35:20they're kind of coming out party happened when they beat Alabama and people thought,
- 35:23oh my god, this team's for real. Over under. Here's forty eight
- 35:28and a half. Alabama's laying eight and a half. When you look at
- 35:30this team, Tennessee scoring thirty three points a game, giving up seventeen.
- 35:35They're five and one straight up, four and two against the number. Bama
- 35:37scoring thirty points a game, giving up sixteen. They're five and one straight
- 35:40up, four and three against the number. I'll tell you what's funny about
- 35:44these two teams to me is this is it. Everybody kind of threw Bama
- 35:47in the garbage after they lost to Texas, watted them up, threw them
- 35:52away. This team's not any good. Their offensive line can't block Milroe,
- 35:57can't throw, blah blah blah blah blah. Well, now we look up
- 36:00and BAM is probably gonna win the SEC West and maybe he has a chance
- 36:05to win the SEC Championship. I like them to win the SEC. Tennessee.
- 36:08On the other hand, if you haven't watched them play this year,
- 36:10this is not last year's Tennessee's the what's the fat kid's name that's on King
- 36:16of the Hill, that's the little you know talking about that TV show that
- 36:20I don't want it. Bobby, Bobby. Every time I see Josh Haipel
- 36:24on TV, he looks like Bobby from King of the Hill. I mean,
- 36:28he's got it. He is not aging well, he is just he
- 36:30and Burt Belama are not gonna be any modeling competitions anytime soon, because those
- 36:36are some I mean, have you seen how big Burt Belam is. He
- 36:38is. He is as fat as that kid that plays d tackle for Tennessee
- 36:45that's rolling in at like four to twenty eight. But anyway, this is
- 36:50not the same team from last year Tennessee's bab They're really built more around their
- 36:54defense, especially the front seven, and they've been playing really well physical.
- 36:59They've got some talent in They did a great job recruit and putting them in
- 37:01there. Joe Milton can he has not looked great chunking the deep ball.
- 37:06I never thought he looked good throwing the deep ball at Michigan. Even when
- 37:08he was here, people forgot he had the starting job that first game against
- 37:12Pitton lost it, and so I haven't been I've been whelmed by what he's
- 37:16been able to accomplish. And that's the reason Scott it I'm going under the
- 37:21total on this one. I'm gonna try to find a forty nine, may
- 37:22even buy it up to that. I could see a lot of grind in
- 37:25this spot, and with this being a rivalry game, I think you're gonna
- 37:29get everybody's top effort in this one, but I just see this one being
- 37:31a little bit closer than maybe the number. But I also think if Alabama
- 37:36can get up on Tennessee, Tennessee has very many explosive plays all season long,
- 37:40and so I don't know how the one thing that they might could be
- 37:44able to do is exploit that defensive secondary a little bit for Alabama, But
- 37:47I just I don't know if Hypel's gonna want to take those shots because he
- 37:52hasn't proven that he can effectively do that game in and game out. Whereas
- 37:55last year, Tennessee's offense was a lot like the Baylor offense under our browsers
- 38:00Ago RPO, but they were looking downfield score from far, big chunk shots.
- 38:06Milton just doesn't do it for me. And I can't believe they haven't
- 38:08rolled in the freshmen that they recruited. But I still think they're a solid
- 38:12defensive unit and they can run the rock. I'm gonna go under for I
- 38:17think they're doing this for defense. Look we've seen what's coming. Saturday.
- 38:21Both these teams played Texas A and M and basically played the exact same football
- 38:24game twenty to thirteen. Last week Tennessee A and M. Bama went on
- 38:29the road twenty six to twenty. You know how many times Bama has gone
- 38:32over a forty nine total this year, once when they played Mississippi State because
- 38:37State's defense sucks and they can't get to the quarterback. SEC teams are averaging
- 38:43ninety percent completion against Mississippi State. They suck. It isn't that this Alabama
- 38:47offense suddenly found itself. It hasn't. It's got lots of problems. It's
- 38:52going to be a defensive dominated game. Same things pretty much true for Tennessee
- 38:57as well, though A and M. The tall was thirty three height South
- 39:00Carolina and UTSA out of it because both those defenses don't measure up Florida in
- 39:06a loss, they scored sixteen points for a total of forty nine in that
- 39:09game, and that stellar team Austin p they got a whipping forty three for
- 39:15their game total. I absolutely loved the under in this ball game to go
- 39:21fight and phone booth. Both these teams hate each other. Both of them
- 39:23have got major problems. Stretching the field at the offensive spot doesn't have anything
- 39:29to do with skill on the at the wide receiver spots got all to do
- 39:32with skill of the kids throwing it down the field. Both these teams are
- 39:37good against the run. I think is a very low scoring they fighting phone
- 39:39Booth also think Tennessee stayed within a nine number. I could see that the
- 39:44one thing I think definitely changed Tennessee's offense more than probably a lot of people
- 39:47want to talk about. Losing Bruce McCoy was a big deal because not only
- 39:52that he's an NFL wide receiver, he was a leader on the field.
- 39:57But you know what else he did. He blocked, blocked really well,
- 40:00and he ran into a lot of double coverages there where they would have to
- 40:02bracket him. And so losing him really changes that what you can have to
- 40:07do against those guys, because I think kool Aid and the rest of those
- 40:09guys get Alabama, could you man up, but I won't be surprised to
- 40:13see him in a two high shell for a lot of the game and just
- 40:15and that's that's the biggest problem. If you're Tennessee and you're Alabama in this
- 40:21game, why you would man up is beyond me. You run a two
- 40:24high shell with those guys and you make those quarterbacks throw into a zone.
- 40:29They're gonna have problems you're seeing in the NFL on Sundays with these newer quarterbacks
- 40:34that come in. You make those guys throw into his zone, and they
- 40:37don't see the big openings because you don't just see a guy running wide open,
- 40:39you know, across the field. They or they don't see the guy
- 40:43sliding over. I won't and you're you're dealing with a fantastic defensive mind.
- 40:47To Nick Saban here, look for that to happen this week. Go under
- 40:51forty nine and a half. Now, Scottie, let's talk about a really
- 40:54gross game. Let's talk about Iowa and I don't even know if this is
- 41:00really gonna be a play, but we're gonna talk about it. Let's talk
- 41:01about Iowa and many Minnesota in this one. Iowa has dominated, France has
- 41:07dominated PJ. Fleck. I can't wait till my buddy hears this. He
- 41:10hates PJ. Fleck. He thinks he's the biggest blowhard out there. But
- 41:15I just can't see. I mean, caliak Man as the quarterback at Minnesota
- 41:20has not been solid all year long. I can't imagine he's gonna be effective
- 41:23throwing the ball into this Iowa defense, because not only does Iowa out scheme
- 41:28most teams, but they've actually got better talent than what most people realize.
- 41:32Their linebacking corps is gonna be in the NFL. They've got a defensive tackle
- 41:36that's gonna be in the NFL. And so this is a struggle for these
- 41:39guys. And on the flip side with Iowa, don't worry about Brian Farence
- 41:45getting his contract renewed. If he doesn't score twenty five points a game,
- 41:46he's not gonna get there. But by once they get past this game,
- 41:51though, the rest of their schedule is a joke. But I don't think
- 41:52I think they win this game similar to what they did against Wisconsin. They
- 41:57just get out there and suffocate that team a lot of three, grind it
- 42:00out, wait for somebody to make a mistake, and then they pounce on
- 42:04it. Last week, the Missouri punter out through in one pass he had
- 42:08more touchdowns and more yards than Deacon Hill did. The quarterback that's at Iowa.
- 42:14If you haven't seen this kid play, tune in for just a second.
- 42:16It's gonna give you some rest in peace, brother, but it's gonna
- 42:20give you some more. Jared Lorenzen vibes. My man is sixty three two
- 42:23sixty. He is not moving around in the pocket. If someone breaks through,
- 42:29motherfucker is hitting the ground because he can't do anything like he tries to
- 42:32roll and it just I mean it's like they're literally you know, second grimace.
- 42:37I mean, just wrap your arms around him and just roll him over.
- 42:38He's going to the ground and that stuff. So I don't know if
- 42:42it's official play for us or not, but thirty one and a half is
- 42:45too sweet of a number to not bet under on that, because that's a
- 42:47fun game to watch her out there, grind her out in thirty one and
- 42:50a half. This is the definition of it. Ain't under pill, it's
- 42:53over. This is it right here? I am telling you both these things
- 42:58are terrible. Do you realize that Friends' contract says he's almost got to cover
- 43:02this. Then I have a chance to get over this number. Because Minnesota's
- 43:07actually pretty good on defense, I mean minus minus minus what Michigan did to
- 43:13them, they've actually played pretty well against in this st Michigan's offense. So
- 43:17it is just this is an ugly game, man. If they go under
- 43:22thirty one for the first time, because I've been laughing about. You're not
- 43:28gonna keep telling everybody to contrug I don't care if his contract says he's got
- 43:32to score eighty games, They're not got don care if it says he got
- 43:36to score fifteen game and he doesn't. If they win the Big Twelve,
- 43:40I mean the Big ten West, they are not going to fire their offense
- 43:44coordinator because guess what's happening. If you fire him, you're firing his dad
- 43:47too. And no one's ever gonna take that job, because just that's why.
- 43:53How would y'all have Ain't exactly easy. There ain't got eight people in
- 43:59that state that a d one guy is coming out every year. Nobody you
- 44:02know, one time Obama or USC or somebody big time went to Iowa to
- 44:07sign a player. And if they go it's for alignment. They don't have
- 44:12a skilled guy one up there. I mean, look, man, it
- 44:15may be ugly football, but the dude wins. And I watched him come
- 44:21down and beat Youill moorehead in a ballgame with Mississippi State having three first rounders
- 44:25on a team, and that dude goes and beats them. Don't tell me
- 44:30he can't coach football. The dude can coach football. I mean I was
- 44:32watching that game thinking, if he took this talent and played his talent,
- 44:37he went by four or five touchdowns, he would That's the bottom line.
- 44:40Just unfortunately, it's very hard to get the talent up there to do it.
- 44:44He's a good football coach. But guy, this came goes under thirty
- 44:46one. Oh man, this is an indictment of offense in twenty twenty thirty.
- 44:52Oh boy. That's all we got, folks. This week. A
- 44:54couple of games I'll throw out the lane on or at least like I think
- 44:59if Duke, If Leonard's back, I think Duke's a live dog. I
- 45:04don't know if they could come back and win that game at Florida State,
- 45:06but I definitely think could be a much better game. The lines at thirteen
- 45:08and a half. But I wouldn't play it without him. We said that
- 45:13last week, and then they came out and won and covered same thing with
- 45:16Miami. If Tvd's playing, I like this team against Clemson, but I
- 45:22don't know if Tyler Van Dimes is playing or not. I've heard he's banged
- 45:24up. I haven't seen a practice report for today. As we record this
- 45:28on Wednesday. But those are two interesting games that I've got, and that's
- 45:31about it for me. I'm gonna give you two more and then we can
- 45:36call it a day. The Hugh Freeze Bowl, Baby, I'm gonna tell
- 45:40you something. He's gonna throw everything but the kitchen sink at the Rebels on
- 45:46Saturday. I don't think it's gonna be enough. I ain't Old Miss probably
- 45:52covers that game. But when I tell you he's gonna throw everything he's got
- 45:58at that game, I'm not kidd That'll be the best game Auburn plays,
- 46:02not Alabama, and Auburn at the outside of Alabama all year long. Freeze
- 46:07is gonna give it all he'd got and make no mistake going down there and
- 46:12looking like, hello, Elis, you've got nothing to do with this ball
- 46:15game. They mailed it in. They are gonna give it all they got.
- 46:19Old Miss coming off of bye week, interested to see does that offense
- 46:22keep humming coming out of that byeway. You could seem start a little slow,
- 46:27could definitely see it seems started a little slow. It happens a lot
- 46:30out of a bye week. Auburn's a tough place to play. That's a
- 46:32routy environment when they get down there for a big game and that trust me,
- 46:37this is gonna be a big game. And then the other one I've
- 46:38got for you, Illinois live dog against Wisconsin at home. But I mean
- 46:45Illinois at home plus two and a half. But you got to back up
- 46:50quarterback in Braydon Locke, who with third team at Mississippi State under Mike LEAs.
- 46:57He was signed with Lee, so he likes to run this kind of
- 46:59wide open offense. But candidly, from everything I was told to actually hear,
- 47:04he was the betting. You know, he's thirteen, with the better
- 47:07of the quarterbacks that were that were younger, because Baylor is obviously struggling with
- 47:12one of the guys who transferred as well. But I think that's gonna be
- 47:15a big difference in the ball game this weekend. No Mordecai for Wisconsin going
- 47:20on the road, back up quarterback playing for the first time with significant action.
- 47:24I do not expect him to play well. This is a pretty good
- 47:28still a pretty good Illinois defense, and while not as good as I think
- 47:31they thought they were going to be, still a pretty good defense. I
- 47:34think they'll be able to create enough habit getting to the quarterback that they're a
- 47:37live dog at home live dog. And if they get two wins over Wiskey
- 47:43back to back, that'll be wild. Illinois beat these ship out of these
- 47:46guys last year, and I mean this was a much better Illinois team last
- 47:51year. He's got this year. But I do agree with you, and
- 47:52so it'll be it'd be be fascinating. Navy do they cover? Does Navy
- 47:59stay with than eleven of Air Force? Man? You know, last week
- 48:04I've covered this that I had. I had a money line parlay with which
- 48:07I won the line with Wyoming. But I had a money line parlay and
- 48:12I'd already covered it with Pitt and it was paying gigantic odds, and I
- 48:17really felt like Wyoming had a chance to win that game, and they did.
- 48:22It's not the Air Force is better than certainly than they've been. I
- 48:27mean, people talking, I don't care if they go twelve and oero they
- 48:30put those jake legs and tape, let them take one of the bull spots.
- 48:35And I'm gonna be so pissed because they do not have any talent.
- 48:37And I know this is Navy, but yet it feels like they alll bell
- 48:40stayed within this number. Looks like the weather's gonna be bad up there too,
- 48:44maybe a little bit of rain and win. If that's the case.
- 48:46Yeah, I think you do take I think you do take Navy. I
- 48:50think air Force is much better than this team this met and that granted,
- 48:52they just got their little little curse. They got ranked for the first time
- 48:57this season, and we know what happens with those teams that happened to get
- 49:00ranked the first time. Seems like they puffed their chest out a little bit
- 49:04bigger that week and then lay an egg the next week. I just don't
- 49:06think they do it this week in Stavy. I don't think cover eleven.
- 49:08But I think air Force easily wins the Commander Trophy this year, So that's
- 49:13what I'd be leaning there. But folks, it's been a lot of fun.
- 49:15Hit us up on Twitter, smash just give us a like, give
- 49:19us to your friends whatever it may be. Having a pretty good season and
- 49:22joined some college football, and we are looking forward to rolling things out.
- 49:25We may start trying to put out some earlier midweek shows because now we've got
- 49:30full midweek slates, which is never a bad thing. We've only got like
- 49:32twenty eight more days in a row, or something like that of football.
- 49:36On every single day that being said, thank you for everything. We'll talk
- 49:39to you next week.
