- 0:05Speaker 1: Get download the crazy seats, You get you something to
- 0:07Speaker 1: drink in nessle lid, and you get ready to talk
- 0:09Speaker 1: some college football of Barket Scottie, I'm actually out on
- 0:12Speaker 1: the road this week. I'm in New Mexico, landing and
- 0:14Speaker 1: Chapman under a smoking under a pile of wood somewhere
- 0:18Speaker 1: it scot you're actually in your car. I don't even
- 0:21Speaker 1: know if this is state that we're doing this.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm ready. I'm I'm pulled over on part.
- 0:26Speaker 2: We are all good, all good, ready to We're just
- 0:29Speaker 2: stay ready for a little football, little midnight, little midweek Maxim.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Last week went, I went five hundo last night. I
- 0:37Speaker 2: ended up betting on Western just because they were at home,
- 0:39Speaker 2: even though I thought Ohio was gonna win. I was wrong,
- 0:42Speaker 2: but I want to bet, so that's all that matters.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And then I got I got wrecked on I got
- 0:46Speaker 2: wrecked on Akron. So kind of is what it? Kind
- 0:50Speaker 2: of this don't bet on Joe Morehead. That's the that's
- 0:52Speaker 2: the statement. There never bet on Joe Morehead.
- 0:55Speaker 1: I took the under in that game.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Uh.
- 0:58Speaker 1: And then after the kid you know, got hit by
- 1:00Speaker 1: the punt and Kent scored the early touchdown. It was like,
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna lose this one. And so when my
- 1:07Speaker 1: wife asked me later how we did, I said, we
- 1:09Speaker 1: did unwell. We did very unwell in that game. I said,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I'm quit watching when the total hit like eighty after that,
- 1:15Speaker 1: because I was about forty points off that number. So
- 1:17Speaker 1: it wasn't very good to me. But last week it
- 1:21Speaker 1: was everything.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You know, last week was a was a crazy week.
- 1:28Speaker 2: I mean, we were on our way to covering Versus.
- 1:34Speaker 2: We were on our way to covering Versus on Indiana
- 1:37Speaker 2: and Penn State. They throw the bad pick, terrible pick,
- 1:40Speaker 2: then gives Penn State life and boom they almost win
- 1:44Speaker 2: the game. That At one point I was openly cheering
- 1:47Speaker 2: for Penn State because I'm like, if you a holes
- 1:49Speaker 2: are going to blow this cover, I want you to
- 1:51Speaker 2: lose straight up. Just lose because they're still going to
- 1:54Speaker 2: make the playoff. Doesn't matter in Indiana is Fool's Gold.
- 2:00Speaker 2: That is a flawed team, but that doesn't make them
- 2:04Speaker 2: different than any team in the country. Old Miss feels
- 2:08Speaker 2: like they're kind of getting it together. A and M
- 2:13Speaker 2: going on the road, just big, just finding different ways
- 2:18Speaker 2: to win, just outlasting teams. I think A and M
- 2:22Speaker 2: is significantly better than I think everybody thinks they are.
- 2:27Speaker 2: That defense is pretty doing good. They got a great
- 2:30Speaker 2: I love the York kid, their linebacker. I think that
- 2:33Speaker 2: kid is just a I mean, you win championships with
- 2:36Speaker 2: guys like that at every level. I mean the kid's
- 2:39Speaker 2: just a workhorse. I mean he talks about his dad,
- 2:42Speaker 2: he worked two jobs, used to sleep in his work clothes.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I mean, that's the kind of kid you want on
- 2:47Speaker 2: the football team. That's kind of kid. It's easy to
- 2:49Speaker 2: cheer for, too. Man Oregon Iowa. What a great game
- 2:53Speaker 2: in the rain, Oregon figuring out how to get it
- 2:57Speaker 2: done late in that ball game, I always should have won.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I mean it felt like they just they just couldn't
- 3:06Speaker 2: get it, just couldn't get it done. They couldn't figure
- 3:08Speaker 2: out how to get over the hump. They're gonna be
- 3:09Speaker 2: one of those teams that's really really good, but it's
- 3:13Speaker 2: just far enough away from being elite. But you know
- 3:17Speaker 2: that leads up leads them to an interesting game this week.
- 3:20Speaker 2: So all in all, a really really interesting week. Did
- 3:23Speaker 2: not see my Bulldogs getting crushed by Georgia the way
- 3:26Speaker 2: they did, but it feels like the Bulldogs of Georgia.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Bulldogs are really starting to get it together, all those late, late,
- 3:34Speaker 2: late game comebacks. Boy, they came out firing last week,
- 3:39Speaker 2: just really balanced, doing some really good things on offense.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Be interesting to see how Missippi State bounces back this week.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Of course, Georgia was in a flat spot, didn't come
- 3:50Speaker 2: out flat at all, and interested to see how they
- 3:53Speaker 2: do with Texas. I think they just heavy hand Texas
- 3:56Speaker 2: and ended up end up winning that game at home.
- 3:59Speaker 2: But and does that remove Texas from the playoff because
- 4:04Speaker 2: two of their losses are going to be to really
- 4:06Speaker 2: really highly ranked teams on the road. So where does
- 4:11Speaker 2: Texas fall in that playoff structure? So that's gonna be
- 4:14Speaker 2: an interesting look. Obviously, it'll be a point for the
- 4:18Speaker 2: Longhorns if they lose to A and M to end
- 4:21Speaker 2: the year at home. But if they win that ball
- 4:23Speaker 2: game and they've got three losses, gonna be interesting to
- 4:26Speaker 2: see whether if they get in or not. And are
- 4:29Speaker 2: they the fifth sixteen for an SEC team. Gonna be
- 4:33Speaker 2: really really interesting how the season plays out the rest
- 4:35Speaker 2: of the way.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in love it. Game day was lit.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Got to see me some DJ poly D, some of
- 4:44Speaker 1: the guys from game. They getting carted into the stadium
- 4:46Speaker 1: went the game. You're gonna laugh when I get in.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Tell you this. I roll in and I have on
- 4:51Speaker 1: my tech gear right in my polo I wear to
- 4:54Speaker 1: every game that they've never lost in. But I've got
- 4:57Speaker 1: my BYU Soak's shirt on underneath, and I was planning
- 5:01Speaker 1: on wearing it in the stadium. And I'm pretty old
- 5:03Speaker 1: for wearing a shirt this bed and when he gets
- 5:06Speaker 1: saved and everyone, I'm with this Mormon everybody, and they're
- 5:10Speaker 1: all decked out, and they were so nice. I thought,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I can't do it.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I can't do it, man.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I'm just I've gotten too old. I would have done
- 5:19Speaker 1: it thirty years ago, and I couldn't do it. And
- 5:21Speaker 1: so anyway, hung out with them BYU. Great effort from
- 5:26Speaker 1: those guys. They're very one dimensional. Bear Bachmeyer, that guy
- 5:29Speaker 1: weighs about two hundred and fifty pounds. They've got one
- 5:32Speaker 1: running back in LJ. Martin. They can get it done.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But TeX's defense just came out and strangled him. The
- 5:39Speaker 1: game was too big for Baron Morton. For a lot
- 5:41Speaker 1: of the first half, and you kind of saw that
- 5:44Speaker 1: some of the sacks that he took, and I really
- 5:46Speaker 1: think that, you know, Tech has a chance to win
- 5:49Speaker 1: the conference and get in the playoff and make some
- 5:52Speaker 1: noise because of the defense. The quarterback is going to
- 5:54Speaker 1: be the one thing that could hold him back, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how that evolves. But
- 5:59Speaker 1: then I got back, got to watch some like you said,
- 6:01Speaker 1: some Iowa, some Temple. Oh man, it was exciting getting
- 6:06Speaker 1: you a Temple win. And what about you God getting
- 6:09Speaker 1: it done last week?
- 6:10Speaker 2: Getting it done full upset, called the flat spot there
- 6:14Speaker 2: for the Dukies.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But yeah, we got three weeks left in college football,
- 6:18Speaker 1: A lot is going to change in the rankings. A
- 6:21Speaker 1: lot's gonna change on who's gonna end up in there.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I don't know that anyone wants to win the ACC. Uh,
- 6:27Speaker 1: just ACC.
- 6:29Speaker 2: The ACC's got a chance to not make the playoff
- 6:32Speaker 2: at all. If dude wins out and goes to the
- 6:37Speaker 2: ACC championship, wins the championship game, you're talking a four
- 6:41Speaker 2: loss conference champion. They're not gonna get in. They're gonna
- 6:45Speaker 2: take the Group of six guy over them.
- 6:47Speaker 1: No, it's an auto bid.
- 6:48Speaker 2: If you no, not if the group of six guys
- 6:52Speaker 2: higher ranked, they can take him if he's high ranked,
- 6:55Speaker 2: so it's not an auto bid if the other guy's
- 6:58Speaker 2: higher ranked. Man, if they get a group of sixteen
- 7:02Speaker 2: that bumps ahead of them in the rankings and they
- 7:04Speaker 2: don't take an ACC, you are literally and look, there's
- 7:08Speaker 2: not an ACC team that deserves to be in. They're
- 7:09Speaker 2: not won of the best twelve. If we're really trying
- 7:11Speaker 2: to get one of the best twelve, unless it's Miami,
- 7:14Speaker 2: it in them. They don't deserve one. Miamis the only
- 7:17Speaker 2: team in that league with any talent, and they got
- 7:19Speaker 2: a coach that could lose to anybody at any moment.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I mean, and when do they get tired of crystal
- 7:25Speaker 2: ball because they have totally wet the bed losing some
- 7:30Speaker 2: of the games they've lost. I mean, it's just I mean,
- 7:33Speaker 2: here they are. They still got a chance to win
- 7:34Speaker 2: the league, which obviously would get them in because Miami
- 7:37Speaker 2: is the highest ranked of those teams, and if they
- 7:39Speaker 2: keep winning and get to the ACC championship, they've got
- 7:42Speaker 2: they've obviously got a chance to win it. But how
- 7:45Speaker 2: fascinating would it be if Duke did get in and
- 7:48Speaker 2: got left out because Jmu's got one loss. I think
- 7:51Speaker 2: you know, two loss be hilarious. I mean, and it's
- 7:54Speaker 2: just complete chaos because I am poor. Complete chaos.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You saw Nard Dogs come in about the Notre Dame
- 8:02Speaker 1: game this week, didn't you.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Yeah, losing me one hundred and and I totally get
- 8:07Speaker 2: what he's saying. Like, of course, media people, what's an
- 8:09Speaker 2: interesting thing for a coach to say. Well, he's saying
- 8:12Speaker 2: that it doesn't affect them and their year in goal,
- 8:15Speaker 2: which is to try to make the playoff. That's all
- 8:17Speaker 2: he's saying. And people take things out of context all
- 8:20Speaker 2: the time. It just drives me nuts. I mean, anybody
- 8:22Speaker 2: with a brain knows what Nardoo's he's saying doesn't mean
- 8:25Speaker 2: he's gonna come lay down, That doesn't mean any of
- 8:28Speaker 2: those things. It just means whether we win or lose
- 8:30Speaker 2: this game doesn't matter for our year end goal, which
- 8:33Speaker 2: is trying to make to win the conference and make
- 8:34Speaker 2: the playoff. And he's just being honest about it. So
- 8:38Speaker 2: there was really no pressure on on on pit this weekend.
- 8:41Speaker 2: At home. They can go play freely. I think that's
- 8:44Speaker 2: all he was saying.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Nard Dog's a weird fuck though he is a weird
- 8:49Speaker 1: cat's got he's got game day coming to town. They're
- 8:53Speaker 1: going to be in Pittsburgh. I wanted a piece of
- 8:57Speaker 1: Notre Dame at minus ten because you got to think
- 8:59Speaker 1: there's gonna be as many Notre Dame fans at that
- 9:01Speaker 1: game as there's gonna be pitt fans. And so there's
- 9:05Speaker 1: no home field advantage because they're still playing in whatever
- 9:08Speaker 1: aptature stadium where the Steelers play, and so you just
- 9:12Speaker 1: don't get that home field vibe. And so you see
- 9:14Speaker 1: Pitt come in there and they could be getting it done.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But yeah, college football, we got a lot of left
- 9:19Speaker 1: to go. I still kind of feel like there's gonna
- 9:22Speaker 1: be a couple of weird upsets in there. They're gonna
- 9:24Speaker 1: dictate how the end of the season goes. I mean,
- 9:27Speaker 1: Texas having those two huge games left on their schedule
- 9:31Speaker 1: and arch manning and that team kind of not looking
- 9:34Speaker 1: like garbage anymore is interesting to me. I met the
- 9:38Speaker 1: starting center for ut last week. He may be playing
- 9:41Speaker 1: guard now. Super nice kid. He and I were standing
- 9:45Speaker 1: there after the game and we got I was like, man,
- 9:47Speaker 1: you're a big motherfucker, and he was like, yeah, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: go you play ball here? And he's like, no, I
- 9:51Speaker 1: play for Texas. I was like, no shit. And we
- 9:54Speaker 1: got to talking and it was interesting talking about all
- 9:57Speaker 1: the pressure with Manning and stuff like that that's come around.
- 9:59Speaker 1: He super nice kid, but yeah, I mean Texas has
- 10:03Speaker 1: got like, you know, as bad as the season has
- 10:06Speaker 1: been for them to start, they've got a path in
- 10:08Speaker 1: front of them that gets them into the playoffs and
- 10:11Speaker 1: well and on the way it would cast some big
- 10:14Speaker 1: ripples having to beat Georgia A and having to beat
- 10:17Speaker 1: A and M probably to get in.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they've definitely they cannot afford to lose more
- 10:22Speaker 2: than one. But you know, the interesting party all it
- 10:25Speaker 2: is is they had one bad, one bad loss. I mean, yeah,
- 10:29Speaker 2: they didn't look good against State. But at the end
- 10:31Speaker 2: of the day, man, it's a long season. Doesn't matter
- 10:34Speaker 2: how you look, it's do you win or do you lose?
- 10:37Speaker 2: And and it was the you know, we still had
- 10:40Speaker 2: the Billy Napier win one for Sunbelt and that and
- 10:45Speaker 2: they end up losing that game. You're realizing that lost. Look,
- 10:48Speaker 2: they've played Ohio State better than anybody, right, and so
- 10:53Speaker 2: it's you you realize that this Texas team is not
- 10:56Speaker 2: far away and the more experienced Manning get the better
- 11:01Speaker 2: he's gonna get. I mean, the kid's still really talented.
- 11:03Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen so many posted videos of him playing.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Oh I was this guy the number one guy in
- 11:10Speaker 2: the country. They act like he goes to a different
- 11:12Speaker 2: damn high school than Eli and Payton did. I mean,
- 11:16Speaker 2: how did they pan out and get so highly ranked
- 11:18Speaker 2: coming out of the same high school. It doesn't matter
- 11:22Speaker 2: that he's playing at small school. Talent is talent. There
- 11:25Speaker 2: is his name, maybe bumping him up some one hundred percent.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Is he completely untalented? No, And anybody's saying that's too
- 11:32Speaker 2: stupid for me to talk to about it. That the
- 11:35Speaker 2: kids learning and he's getting better like every quarterback, and
- 11:38Speaker 2: you can see him maturing and you can see him
- 11:41Speaker 2: getting better. I'm gonna tell you, I thought there was
- 11:43Speaker 2: a lot of toughness to be said for him coming
- 11:46Speaker 2: back and playing and not sitting out. There's no way
- 11:49Speaker 2: that he could. That was a concussion. That was not
- 11:52Speaker 2: an upper body injury that they called it. He got
- 11:55Speaker 2: rocked at the end of the Mississippi State game and
- 11:57Speaker 2: he didn't know where when he stood up. He was
- 11:59Speaker 2: kind of walked and sideways. Could those who kid for
- 12:02Speaker 2: bouncing right back and coming to playing. Some of that's
- 12:04Speaker 2: toughness too, and and I give him a lot of credit,
- 12:08Speaker 2: and that gives him a lot of credit for his
- 12:10Speaker 2: teammates too, and his teammates will appreciate that toughness. I
- 12:14Speaker 2: just think the guy's getting better. I think Texas is
- 12:17Speaker 2: one of those teams that you would not want to
- 12:19Speaker 2: play in the playoff if they're the eleven or the
- 12:22Speaker 2: twelve seed. I don't think the dude who's the four
- 12:25Speaker 2: seeds gonna like seeing them on the schedule at all.
- 12:29Speaker 1: In the five hole.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Yeah, so you and here comes Texas, You're like great,
- 12:35Speaker 2: you know, or you could be you know, yeah, because
- 12:38Speaker 2: because honestly, they'll probably even with three losses, they'd probably
- 12:41Speaker 2: be ahead of the group of five guys in the rankings.
- 12:45Speaker 2: So yeah, if you're the you're the you're the five seeds,
- 12:47Speaker 2: you're gonna be getting the I mean, the sixth seeds,
- 12:49Speaker 2: you're gonna be getting Texas. That's gonna be your You're like, boy,
- 12:53Speaker 2: that that that came out. Well, some some team that's
- 12:56Speaker 2: had a great year gets to match up against probably
- 12:58Speaker 2: one of the best three or four balent teams in
- 13:01Speaker 2: the country in the first round of the playoffs. So
- 13:04Speaker 2: it's gonna be a it's gonna be interesting to see
- 13:06Speaker 2: what happens to them, and they may very likely miss it.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I think they're gonna beat A and M. I think
- 13:10Speaker 2: they're gonna lose this weekend. I think they're gonna be
- 13:12Speaker 2: nine to three, and I think they're the last team
- 13:14Speaker 2: that gets in. That's what I think.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It'll be interesting.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Uh.
- 13:17Speaker 1: And the seating in that spot's gonna be weird too,
- 13:20Speaker 1: because you've got the four, five, six on where you're
- 13:22Speaker 1: gonna land. And obviously, if you're the five team, you
- 13:24Speaker 1: host the twelve, which you would assume is probably gonna
- 13:26Speaker 1: be a group of five team.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Uh.
- 13:28Speaker 1: But yeah, if you land in that five or six spot,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and let's say you're Texas Tech and Texas gets in
- 13:33Speaker 1: the last team in and they have to send them
- 13:35Speaker 1: out to Lubbock. Uh, you want to talk about.
- 13:38Speaker 2: That game.
- 13:40Speaker 1: That people? I mean, I mean it'll be huge. I mean,
- 13:44Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Game Day doesn't come back
- 13:46Speaker 1: to Lubvick for that one. I mean, it would be crazy,
- 13:49Speaker 1: crazy out there to get that game. And anyway, we
- 13:53Speaker 1: still go to that game.
- 13:54Speaker 2: If that's the first round playoff game, I may go
- 13:57Speaker 2: to that game.
- 13:58Speaker 1: It's it would be a thing. I'm telling you right now. Man,
- 14:01Speaker 1: all right, let's get this thing. Roland Scott a couple
- 14:04Speaker 1: of weird games. So we're going to try to go through.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I don't like this board at all, and so I
- 14:09Speaker 1: will apologize ahead of time that you are looking for
- 14:12Speaker 1: entertainment value and to pick some nuggets out. I am
- 14:15Speaker 1: going to tread lightly through here because I don't have
- 14:18Speaker 1: a whole lot that I'm getting off on. We got
- 14:21Speaker 1: a couple of This.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Is a teaser weekend. Mark. This is a teaser weekend.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Out of the old college teaser. I love when you
- 14:32Speaker 1: bring that up with somebody that's like a pro better
- 14:34Speaker 1: supposedly like you have a tea scout. Oh no, you
- 14:36Speaker 1: can't teach college games. It's like, all right, look at
- 14:39Speaker 1: this point, there's actually a couple of games I have
- 14:41Speaker 1: teasers on, and we'll bring that up because I'm just
- 14:43Speaker 1: trying to find somewhere to pull some value out of
- 14:45Speaker 1: this board because I don't like it at all, and
- 14:49Speaker 1: I've got a couple of games in there we'll talk about.
- 14:51Speaker 1: But uh, Wednesday, if this gets up and you get
- 14:54Speaker 1: a chance to listen to them. We got two back
- 14:55Speaker 1: games Northern Illinois and U Mass God damn unless you've
- 15:01Speaker 1: got a kid on the team, I don't even advise
- 15:03Speaker 1: watching this team. I mean this is they're two and
- 15:05Speaker 1: sixteen combined record and whoop, these teams are averaging. Let
- 15:12Speaker 1: me put this in perspective to you. If these teams
- 15:15Speaker 1: just scored what they normally score every single week, the
- 15:18Speaker 1: final score would be twelve to eleven, and you don't
- 15:21Speaker 1: want to watch this. I'm skipping it. Toledo typically the
- 15:25Speaker 1: best team in the back playing Ohio. Here Miami of Ohio,
- 15:29Speaker 1: Miami House getting four and a half points. We should
- 15:32Speaker 1: get a little weather, but I don't think it's gonna
- 15:33Speaker 1: affect anything Toledo as a favorite under this coach. I
- 15:38Speaker 1: think as a favorite under this coach is something stupid,
- 15:42Speaker 1: like they cannot cover and they don't ever seem to win.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I think if it's you, Scott, You've got to go
- 15:47Speaker 1: with the RedHawks in this spot.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Give me give me some red Hawks at home, the
- 15:53Speaker 2: little Oxford Midweek Martion. Love Toledo, love them, but man,
- 15:59Speaker 2: give me give me Miami Ohio plus the four and
- 16:02Speaker 2: a half. This is this looks like a real chance
- 16:04Speaker 2: they may win this game. Straight up. The four best
- 16:07Speaker 2: teams in the Mac, you could roll the dice and
- 16:10Speaker 2: toss them. You saw it last night with Western in Ohio.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Those teams were base are basically the exact same team.
- 16:17Speaker 2: There's no difference. Homes gonna gonna make a big difference.
- 16:20Speaker 2: The other two are Toledo and Miami of Ohio. I
- 16:23Speaker 2: like the home I like the home team getting more
- 16:25Speaker 2: than a field goal here. Can can Toledo squeak out
- 16:28Speaker 2: with a win? Sure they can, but I don't think
- 16:30Speaker 2: they do it by more than four and a half.
- 16:32Speaker 2: I like, I like Miami here, Uh take it, take it.
- 16:36Speaker 1: I kind of like Buffalo getting two and a half
- 16:38Speaker 1: in that second game, but I haven't put anything down
- 16:40Speaker 1: on it's got I might have you a little Mac
- 16:42Speaker 1: teaser there, a little six point teaser. Get me both over.
- 16:45Speaker 1: A key number is seven in these MAC games. That
- 16:48Speaker 1: may be what I do for my Wednesday afternoon entertainment.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Right there is Get me a little Mac teaser with
- 16:51Speaker 1: Buffalo and Miami of Ohio. Oh I like that. Moving
- 16:56Speaker 1: moving on a Thursday, Troy and Old Domino this is
- 16:59Speaker 1: an old domino, and just a couple of weeks ago,
- 17:01Speaker 1: we thought I had an inside track on bicycle playing
- 17:03Speaker 1: for the sun Belt Championship. Now they're laying eleven and
- 17:05Speaker 1: a half. They're six and three straight up against Detroit
- 17:08Speaker 1: team I got nothing here. You're gonna play I mean,
- 17:10Speaker 1: wins in this game where they think are gonna be
- 17:12Speaker 1: at twenty two miles an hour. So if you if
- 17:16Speaker 1: you see weather over fifteen, then you can check it.
- 17:19Speaker 1: I mean you've got to start looking at some unders
- 17:21Speaker 1: in that, because that's what really affects these games, is
- 17:23Speaker 1: the wind it is.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I do think Odeu is gonna win this ball game
- 17:27Speaker 2: pretty comfortably. Though I do like Odu. I would love
- 17:30Speaker 2: it if there were not weather in it. But I
- 17:33Speaker 2: still think they're gonna win it. And odie Us turned
- 17:36Speaker 2: out to be a pretty darn good team.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Yeah, much better Rick or honey Man. I mean he's
- 17:43Speaker 1: still there, right, and he's still a coach there. Oh yeah,
- 17:46Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's finally got the thing I think going
- 17:49Speaker 1: in the right direction. Next game we got on Friday night,
- 17:52Speaker 1: we got a couple of them, actually, Clemson in Louisville line.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Here's three over unders fifty one and a half. Again,
- 17:58Speaker 1: we're looking at having some wins. In the Louisville game.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Everybody seems to think Clemson is here. They still think
- 18:03Speaker 1: they've got the roster to compete. We were dead wrong
- 18:06Speaker 1: last week against the Florida State team. I like Louisville
- 18:09Speaker 1: minus three, but I haven't made a play yet.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen it. Two and a half three Louisville
- 18:16Speaker 2: is what is definitely where I'm leaning. I'm gonna keep
- 18:18Speaker 2: an eye on this game for the weather. Look, bottom
- 18:22Speaker 2: line is got Louisville coming off a parable loss. You've
- 18:25Speaker 2: got Clemson coming off a big win. But at the
- 18:28Speaker 2: end of the day, this when this Clemson team has
- 18:32Speaker 2: played a good football team, they have not looked good.
- 18:34Speaker 2: I mean that's the bottom line. I think this Louisville
- 18:38Speaker 2: offense at home, I think Brom's gonna be able to
- 18:41Speaker 2: do some things to light up some big plays and
- 18:43Speaker 2: just don't think that they're gonna be able to keep up.
- 18:46Speaker 2: I think Louisville gets to win here.
- 18:49Speaker 1: A couple other Friday night games, late game PJ Fleck
- 18:52Speaker 1: getting twenty five and a half points traveling out to
- 18:55Speaker 1: Oregon over unders. He's forty three and a half. Minnesota
- 18:59Speaker 1: is quiet six and three, but they're two six and one.
- 19:02Speaker 1: They can't really run the ball. I think Oregon can
- 19:05Speaker 1: kind of sit on this team. I don't know if
- 19:07Speaker 1: they cover twenty five and a half. But I ain't
- 19:08Speaker 1: gonna say this PJ Fleck. I'm throwing that in there
- 19:13Speaker 1: as a name of somebody that he's gonna get a
- 19:15Speaker 1: big time job. Uh. That guy, he did it at
- 19:18Speaker 1: Western Michigan. Minnesota is not a great place to try
- 19:21Speaker 1: to build something. I think he'd be a good fit
- 19:24Speaker 1: at Florida, but I don't know if they're gonna give
- 19:26Speaker 1: him a look or not. But the guy just he's
- 19:28Speaker 1: got that that he's got a hundred wins, and so
- 19:31Speaker 1: I mean I would I would lean for him to
- 19:33Speaker 1: get the Florida job. I don't have to play in
- 19:35Speaker 1: this game, though, you got anything.
- 19:37Speaker 2: I have to tell you that just the thought of
- 19:40Speaker 2: PJ Fleck so round Scott Strickling just makes me laugh.
- 19:45Speaker 2: I mean, this makes me chuckle. That is awesome. Their
- 19:51Speaker 2: two wives could not be more opposite.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I'll just say it like that.
- 19:57Speaker 2: That just makes me laugh. Thought of that would be fabulous.
- 20:02Speaker 2: But anyway, Uh, this number seems like it's way too big.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I agree with you. I still think Fleck is a
- 20:09Speaker 2: good coach. I agree with you. I think the Minnesota
- 20:12Speaker 2: job is a hard job. I think this number. Normally
- 20:17Speaker 2: I would I would think this is way too many points.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Way but they have been so bad against the spread,
- 20:23Speaker 2: and it just feels like last week in bad weather,
- 20:27Speaker 2: Oregon couldn't really get rolling, and I think, do they
- 20:31Speaker 2: get rolling this week? And it feels like they might.
- 20:34Speaker 2: They are the kind of team that they will not
- 20:36Speaker 2: call the dogs off. So if they get a lead
- 20:38Speaker 2: and it kind of gets starts getting soft, they're gonna
- 20:40Speaker 2: hang seventy on you if they can, so, you know,
- 20:43Speaker 2: especially after what went on. And look, Oregon needs style points.
- 20:46Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. They need style points. You're when
- 20:50Speaker 2: you're when you're in the playoff, you got to keep winning.
- 20:53Speaker 2: But you got to keep winning well too to try
- 20:55Speaker 2: to to try to keep a ranking high enough that
- 20:59Speaker 2: you get a home game. So I think they run
- 21:02Speaker 2: it up if they can. This number seems too big
- 21:06Speaker 2: on the surface, which is what makes me think Oregon
- 21:08Speaker 2: covers it.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Oh, You've got a couple other ones in there. Coastal
- 21:13Speaker 1: Carolina is getting three against Southern Georgia. Southern that is
- 21:16Speaker 1: I kind of like Coastal since they've changed quarterbacks. But
- 21:19Speaker 1: I got no play air Force Yukon. Of course, Yukon's
- 21:23Speaker 1: coming off of that big win last week at Duke.
- 21:25Speaker 1: They're laying seven in this spot against an air Force
- 21:28Speaker 1: team that pretty much is dead man walking. I don't
- 21:32Speaker 1: have a play in that one, but one game I
- 21:34Speaker 1: do kind of like, let's get to one of the
- 21:35Speaker 1: bigger games that we've got here. I like Texas if
- 21:38Speaker 1: you can get me a seven against Georgia here, I mean,
- 21:42Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be on Georgia, the public's gonna be on Georgia,
- 21:45Speaker 1: the books are gonna need Texas, without a doubt. Nobody's
- 21:48Speaker 1: gonna I mean, Texas is two and seven against the number.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Everybody just remembers how bad they've seen Arch. Look, they
- 21:55Speaker 1: haven't watched some of these games when this team is
- 21:57Speaker 1: starting to improve and get better. But at the same time,
- 22:01Speaker 1: Georgia is as well, and so if I can get
- 22:03Speaker 1: a seven, I will probably play Texas. Otherwise, this is
- 22:07Speaker 1: a hard pass for me.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you, I think the Georgia quarterback is
- 22:12Speaker 2: as quietly good as you can physically be. I mean,
- 22:18Speaker 2: he's athletic enough to run it. He makes pretty good decisions.
- 22:23Speaker 2: It is the kids just getting better and better every week.
- 22:27Speaker 2: I'm gonna bet this game, Laid. I do want to
- 22:31Speaker 2: see where the money comes in on this game, because
- 22:34Speaker 2: I agree with you. But on the lines where public
- 22:38Speaker 2: and sharp are always the same and they're leaning both ways,
- 22:42Speaker 2: it certainly seems like they bounce the opposite high percentage
- 22:47Speaker 2: of the time. So I'm gonna wait and see where
- 22:50Speaker 2: the money comes on. I feel like Georgia can win
- 22:52Speaker 2: this game by seven. Look, Texas has struggled with him,
- 22:55Speaker 2: and struggled with him with better teams and lost to
- 22:57Speaker 2: him at home, and then lost him in the SEC
- 22:59Speaker 2: Championship last year. Can they get off the schneide? Don't know,
- 23:04Speaker 2: Kirby Man, sure, anybody but Alabama. He wins. That's pretty
- 23:07Speaker 2: much the deal.
- 23:10Speaker 1: We'll see, Baby, We'll see next one. I got a
- 23:12Speaker 1: Litt's got a little Sun Belt matchup JMU at home
- 23:15Speaker 1: hosting Appalachian State and this one. This is an interesting
- 23:18Speaker 1: game for a couple of reason. Number One, JAMU is
- 23:21Speaker 1: moving towards playing for the Sunbelt Championship, which would be
- 23:24Speaker 1: a sweet ticket to cash for me. But the other
- 23:26Speaker 1: thing too, is is they're right there on the precipice
- 23:29Speaker 1: of getting a chance to get into the tournament, and
- 23:31Speaker 1: so you and I think the other thing too is
- 23:34Speaker 1: is Chesney they're coach is coaching for some big time
- 23:36Speaker 1: opportunities right now. I think he knows what he's got
- 23:39Speaker 1: in front of him. Lay in twenty one. If you're
- 23:42Speaker 1: into laying big numbers, I would say, get down with
- 23:45Speaker 1: it right here. This Appalachian State team isn't great. The
- 23:49Speaker 1: last two wins they've got were over Georgia State in
- 23:52Speaker 1: Oregon State. They just can't put up the points. JM.
- 23:56Speaker 1: You just seems to churn and churn and churn until
- 23:59Speaker 1: they've worn you down. I think they do the same
- 24:02Speaker 1: thing here. I would lay twenty one with that point
- 24:04Speaker 1: with Georgia JMU in the spot.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that is I do like JMU. They're they're
- 24:11Speaker 2: certainly playing well. You're right, coach is up for there's
- 24:15Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt he gets a big
- 24:16Speaker 2: time job at all the openings. It's just which job
- 24:19Speaker 2: does he choose. I know he is certainly a name
- 24:22Speaker 2: of interest in the Ucla. That would be well down
- 24:25Speaker 2: the list for me, unless they're gonna make a whole
- 24:28Speaker 2: lot of changes when it comes to nil, which I
- 24:30Speaker 2: don't think any of these California teams are, so that
- 24:34Speaker 2: would be down the list for me. But I think
- 24:35Speaker 2: there's a very little chance he's back at JMU.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Next one, you got, Scottie, Arizona traveling to Cincinnati. Now,
- 24:45Speaker 1: this isn't much improved Arizona team. I know if if
- 24:48Speaker 1: he does, he's actually played really well this season. There's
- 24:51Speaker 1: six and three, five and four against the number against
- 24:53Speaker 1: the Cincinnati team. That's seven and two straight up, six
- 24:56Speaker 1: and three against number. Cincinnati has only got one conference
- 24:59Speaker 1: loss to you. I remember their first loss was that
- 25:02Speaker 1: game that they probably should have won opening weekend when
- 25:04Speaker 1: they played Nebraska. They're laying six and a half in
- 25:07Speaker 1: this one, Scottie, how are you gonna play it?
- 25:10Speaker 2: I like cenci here. It's a big road trip for Arizona,
- 25:13Speaker 2: A good team playing early in the morning, eleven o'clock kickoff,
- 25:17Speaker 2: Central noon kickoff ten o'clock. Bodies that were actually is
- 25:20Speaker 2: there's only hell. They may be on Pacific time right now,
- 25:23Speaker 2: but I think with the time change it's only one
- 25:25Speaker 2: hour or two hours difference for bodyclock for kickoff, but
- 25:30Speaker 2: still an early game for those guys. I just think
- 25:32Speaker 2: since The's defense is gonna be the difference in this
- 25:35Speaker 2: in this ball game, and I think they get the
- 25:37Speaker 2: home win and the cover, I like it.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Give me Cincinnati Bearcats, man, Scott's had of field. You
- 25:45Speaker 1: get the coach one more year in Cincinnati. Good for
- 25:48Speaker 1: you man, all you fans up there scrolling down the
- 25:51Speaker 1: board a couple of more than you've got another game.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I kind of like Scott. South Florida is laying ten
- 25:55Speaker 1: and a half against Navy. Navy to me is kind
- 25:58Speaker 1: of proven to be a little of the fools gold
- 26:00Speaker 1: in this season as it goes on. I kind of
- 26:03Speaker 1: like South Florida to house these guys because I don't
- 26:06Speaker 1: think they come in to sleep in this one. It
- 26:08Speaker 1: is playing up there. The weather's gonna be fine, but
- 26:11Speaker 1: I kind of like South Florida lay in ten and
- 26:13Speaker 1: a half. And the next game, we've got Georgia Tech
- 26:17Speaker 1: traveling up to Beacon Hill to play Boston College. Sixteen
- 26:20Speaker 1: and a half's the number in this one. Georgia Tech's
- 26:22Speaker 1: eight and one, six and three against the number Boston
- 26:25Speaker 1: College is one and night straight up four and six
- 26:28Speaker 1: against the number Scotty. You're gonna take the fighting Bill
- 26:30Speaker 1: O'Brien's in sixteen and a half points.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Nope, give me the rambling wreck. I think they're gonna
- 26:36Speaker 2: pound them. I know it's gonna be colder, a little
- 26:37Speaker 2: bit of a little bit of wind up there, but
- 26:39Speaker 2: I think Georgia Tech puts wood to these guys. They've
- 26:43Speaker 2: already been upset once got caught looking. I don't think
- 26:46Speaker 2: that this team is good enough to beat a Georgia
- 26:50Speaker 2: Tech team that has looked, that really has got the
- 26:54Speaker 2: acc is has got to be hoping that Georgia Tech
- 27:00Speaker 2: wins out and that Miami wins out and that maybe
- 27:03Speaker 2: by some miracle they could sneak to into the playoffs,
- 27:07Speaker 2: because I think Tech, if they only lose in the
- 27:11Speaker 2: conference championship they finished eleven and one, that'd be beating Georgia,
- 27:15Speaker 2: which I think can Let's even say they lose that
- 27:18Speaker 2: in their ten and two lose in the conference championship game.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I think ten and two with a loss to Georgia
- 27:23Speaker 2: probably still gets them at least close to the playoff.
- 27:28Speaker 2: If it doesn't get them in it gets them close
- 27:30Speaker 2: as long as they don't get boat raced by Georgia.
- 27:32Speaker 2: And I think that game's at Georgia Tech. I'm not
- 27:34Speaker 2: looking at the schedule, but I think it's at Tech,
- 27:37Speaker 2: and if it is, they're gonna have a chance to
- 27:38Speaker 2: win that game.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Yep, Wisconsin getting twenty nine and a half traveling to Indiana.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Does Indiana wake up in how this Whiskey team that
- 27:48Speaker 1: Whiskey won, lad, I mean Whiskey came out to play
- 27:50Speaker 1: last week after Luke Pickle got the endorsement from that
- 27:53Speaker 1: Blake department that he was going to be there.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Indiana thirteen points.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Don't get in the details on these things. These sixteen I.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Mean, whatever it was was awful. I mean they were.
- 28:05Speaker 2: They still suck on offense. Yes, Indiana's gonna gas. Can
- 28:08Speaker 2: these guys.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Lay in twenty nine and a half? Scotty loves the chalk.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in the Big ten game. I like
- 28:15Speaker 1: Penn State's traveling to Sparty, but these teams are three
- 28:19Speaker 1: and six. I'm gonna take Sparty plus seven and a
- 28:23Speaker 1: half in this one. I think this is too many points.
- 28:26Speaker 1: The win's gonna be howling. I think it's gonna be
- 28:29Speaker 1: super low scoring. I like Sparti getting seven and a
- 28:33Speaker 1: half here. I think that Penn State, after last week,
- 28:36Speaker 1: having that game and then not being able to close
- 28:40Speaker 1: it out the way that they did, I just wonder
- 28:42Speaker 1: if there's any thift fight left in these guys to
- 28:45Speaker 1: go on the road. It's gonna be in the forties.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Win's gonna be in the twenties. I mean, how much
- 28:51Speaker 1: fight do you think this team really has to want
- 28:53Speaker 1: to be there? Against the Michigan State team, which they're
- 28:56Speaker 1: not great, they can win out and go bowling, They're
- 28:58Speaker 1: not going to. But if you get a chance to
- 29:01Speaker 1: beat Penn State, you're Michigan State, you get excited for
- 29:04Speaker 1: game day. Give me Sparty plus seven and a half.
- 29:06Speaker 2: Baby, God, this is such an ugly game. But I
- 29:11Speaker 2: agree with you. I think it probably is too many.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I think it's probably too many points, especially for a
- 29:16Speaker 2: team that laid it all on the line last week
- 29:18Speaker 2: of Penn State got their guts ripped out right at
- 29:20Speaker 2: the end. Now, going back on the road in conference,
- 29:24Speaker 2: it probably will be low scoring. You're probably on the
- 29:29Speaker 2: right side of this number taking the points.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Notre Dame lay in twelve and a half at pitt
- 29:35Speaker 1: Over under here's fifty five and a half. Both of
- 29:37Speaker 1: these teams are seven and two straight up pits seven
- 29:40Speaker 1: and two against the number everybody is taking Notre Day.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Nardoozy's talking about how this game doesn't count. You got
- 29:49Speaker 1: Game Day coming here. You're gonna have a shit ton
- 29:52Speaker 1: of Catholics from the Pittsburgh area show up to cheer
- 29:55Speaker 1: for these guys. Are you gonna lay twelve and a
- 29:58Speaker 1: half or you gonna wait for Mustard and Blue and
- 30:01Speaker 1: see if you can get that all the way up
- 30:02Speaker 1: to fourteen? Are you just gonna pass on this game altogether?
- 30:06Speaker 2: I think they may get just smooth gas cand here.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I don't think this is a good matchup for pitt
- 30:14Speaker 2: I think they are gonna be able to run the football,
- 30:17Speaker 2: which is the key to this Notre Dame offense. Too
- 30:20Speaker 2: great backs. Obviously, Love is legit. I can't believe he's
- 30:24Speaker 2: not getting more run for the Heisman. Kid's a really,
- 30:27Speaker 2: really good player. But I just think I just think
- 30:30Speaker 2: it's too much. And this is what scares me about
- 30:32Speaker 2: this board. I do like a bunch of favorites, but
- 30:36Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win this. But I kind of
- 30:39Speaker 2: feel like it's gonna go over fifty five as well.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Let me say this. If it doesn't go over fifty five,
- 30:43Speaker 2: Pit's got no chance.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Let me say it like that. Now, Pitt plays a
- 30:48Speaker 1: little bit of tempo if you haven't watched him play yet,
- 30:50Speaker 1: and you know, but Nard Dog, he kind of prides
- 30:52Speaker 1: himself on his defense. But they're seven and two to
- 30:55Speaker 1: the over I would lean over in this game. Only
- 30:58Speaker 1: thing I'll be looking at is the web. They're predicting
- 31:00Speaker 1: twenty nine hour wins in this one. Obviously, that does
- 31:03Speaker 1: not bode well if you're trying to get over. The
- 31:04Speaker 1: total affects the passing. So if it goes over it,
- 31:07Speaker 1: that would be the play I would make right there. Now,
- 31:09Speaker 1: I will say this. I've got a little teaser, Scott.
- 31:11Speaker 1: I've got little teaser on Notre Dame. I grabbed this
- 31:14Speaker 1: when it went to ten and a half because I
- 31:15Speaker 1: wanted to ten. And I've got Notre Dame a minus
- 31:18Speaker 1: four and a half. And I'll bring up my second
- 31:20Speaker 1: leg of my teaser here in a minute. Oklahoma Alabama
- 31:24Speaker 1: getting six here ou on the road, how about Alabama?
- 31:28Speaker 1: This team's eight and one, Oklahoma seven and two. When
- 31:32Speaker 1: you look at these two teams. The interesting part when
- 31:35Speaker 1: you break this game down to me is when you
- 31:37Speaker 1: go strength on strength for both of these teams. I mean,
- 31:40Speaker 1: obviously the strength for Oklahoma is their defense and what
- 31:44Speaker 1: they can put together from that standpoint to scheme things up,
- 31:46Speaker 1: the blitz packages they bring. It's one of the top
- 31:49Speaker 1: ten defenses in the country. They're only giving up fourteen
- 31:52Speaker 1: points a game. But on the downside, it is since
- 31:55Speaker 1: Materiers been hurt, his hands hurt, their offense has been
- 31:59Speaker 1: extremely limited as far as running the ball goes, I'm
- 32:02Speaker 1: excuse you, as far as passing the ball goes, and
- 32:04Speaker 1: so they've been very one dimensional. If I can get
- 32:06Speaker 1: Oklahoma the seven, I might get involved. Or do you
- 32:09Speaker 1: think Alabama just puts these guys to sleep?
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I wouldn't say put him to sleep.
- 32:14Speaker 1: I don't.
- 32:14Speaker 2: I don't think it's I don't think it's there. I
- 32:18Speaker 2: just look, I've been a Ty Simpson fan since the
- 32:22Speaker 2: kid was sitting on the bench, and obviously I'm loving
- 32:25Speaker 2: my opportunity for a Heisman out of the deal. So
- 32:28Speaker 2: I'm really starting to I'm really starting to cheer for
- 32:31Speaker 2: him now. But I just think he's a very very
- 32:33Speaker 2: steady quarterback, and he doesn't turn doesn't turn the football over.
- 32:37Speaker 2: This Alabama defense is what scares me. They just are underachieving.
- 32:42Speaker 2: If Womack is back, I'll be stunned. And I mean that.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I just especially with guys like DJ Durkin gonna be
- 32:50Speaker 2: on the market, you know, guys like that high in
- 32:54Speaker 2: the hell he justifies not I would go throw bank
- 32:58Speaker 2: at Dirk and and give him this defense because it's
- 33:02Speaker 2: just mad and they've got way too much talent to
- 33:05Speaker 2: not be a truly dominant defense. Uh. And they still
- 33:09Speaker 2: aren't running the football the way I like. So I
- 33:12Speaker 2: agree with you. I think this Maybe I think an
- 33:15Speaker 2: under may be the best play here. But if I'm
- 33:17Speaker 2: betting it, I'm gonna take Alabama.
- 33:20Speaker 1: I haven't got involved yet, but we may see. But
- 33:23Speaker 1: I always like getting me some extra points that you've
- 33:26Speaker 1: got there. A couple other games in the Sun Belt,
- 33:28Speaker 1: Southern miss is laying forward to Texas State. Man, this
- 33:32Speaker 1: is a Texas State team that's falling apart. You know,
- 33:34Speaker 1: I thought GJ. Kinney was really gonna be trending towards
- 33:38Speaker 1: getting a big kind of job after last season. At
- 33:41Speaker 1: this rate, he's going to be at Texas State until
- 33:42Speaker 1: he's fifty. This team's three and six and two and
- 33:46Speaker 1: seven against the number, Southern Miss, seven and two, five
- 33:49Speaker 1: to three and one against the number. I'm kind of
- 33:51Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna lay four with Southern Miss in this spot.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Like the Buzzards here do. Like the Buzzards, this is
- 33:58Speaker 2: a pretty good football team of Sippy State fans, you know,
- 34:02Speaker 2: thinking they might should have hired Charles Huff, which again
- 34:06Speaker 2: I think Levy's doing a good job. You don't dig
- 34:08Speaker 2: out of the hole it took six seven years to build. Uh,
- 34:12Speaker 2: it took them six seven years to dig that hole.
- 34:14Speaker 2: You don't dig out of it. You don't come out
- 34:16Speaker 2: of it in two years either. I ain't. Levy's got
- 34:19Speaker 2: stayed on track, but Huff has got Southern way ahead
- 34:23Speaker 2: of schedule. Now, part of that's because he brought his
- 34:25Speaker 2: whole whole team with him from Marshall, but I like
- 34:29Speaker 2: to hear that's one reason that I think they've come
- 34:31Speaker 2: in and done such a good job. But they're also
- 34:33Speaker 2: getting a lot of young talent from the state of Mississippi.
- 34:37Speaker 2: This is a This is a talented, more talented team.
- 34:41Speaker 2: And if you go back to the eighties. It's what
- 34:43Speaker 2: made Southern Miss so good. They got this this level
- 34:46Speaker 2: of kid in high school from Mississippi and Alabama that
- 34:50Speaker 2: the Big four were overlooking and missing, and then recruiting
- 34:53Speaker 2: got better with all the recruiting services, and it was
- 34:56Speaker 2: harder to get those guys. The schools those big schools
- 34:59Speaker 2: were taking the more nine reverted by they're not even
- 35:02Speaker 2: trying to recruit these kids anymore. Southerns getting the higher
- 35:05Speaker 2: level of talent, and you combine that with him bringing
- 35:08Speaker 2: in his team. This is actually a pretty talented Southern
- 35:11Speaker 2: Miss team. For the teams they're playing against, they like,
- 35:14Speaker 2: I'm here laying the points.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Give me Southern Miss. Baby muster Buzzard's love it. Texas
- 35:20Speaker 1: Tech laid twenty four and a half against a fucking
- 35:22Speaker 1: piss poor UCF team. I kind of think they'd roll
- 35:25Speaker 1: this team after last week. It was a big game.
- 35:28Speaker 1: But I think tex sees the sees what's in front
- 35:31Speaker 1: of him and this defense it's good, man. Their defense
- 35:34Speaker 1: is legitimately a top ten unit in the country. Still
- 35:37Speaker 1: weird to say. I think they're gonna I think they
- 35:40Speaker 1: cover against UCF. I'll probably lay it. Haven't gotten there yet.
- 35:44Speaker 1: But I like Tech a lot in this one, but
- 35:46Speaker 1: one game I do like. Give me Utah minus eight
- 35:48Speaker 1: and a half at Baylor. This is a bad spot
- 35:51Speaker 1: for the Bears. Bear defense is bad. They're giving up
- 35:53Speaker 1: thirty points a game, and there they really struggle is
- 35:56Speaker 1: on run defense. They can't shut it down. Utah last
- 35:59Speaker 1: year Weeks has really got this thing rolling in a
- 36:02Speaker 1: good direction, power run game. I think it's gonna overpower
- 36:05Speaker 1: the Bears. And the other thing is when you go
- 36:07Speaker 1: look at Sawyer Robertson's numbers, man, if he's got a
- 36:11Speaker 1: clean pocket, he does pretty well. If he's got a
- 36:14Speaker 1: dirty pocket, it drops down like his PFF grades around
- 36:17Speaker 1: fifty percent. Hence the fact that this team's two and
- 36:20Speaker 1: seven against the number. It's one way or the other
- 36:23Speaker 1: with them, and they just I think this Utah team's
- 36:25Speaker 1: gonna strangle them out. I'll take Utah might have sat.
- 36:27Speaker 2: And half in this one. I think this game's gonna
- 36:30Speaker 2: be just like it wasn't. You got a really good defense,
- 36:33Speaker 2: you got a team that wants to get after it.
- 36:35Speaker 2: They're gonna try to be physical upfront. I think you're
- 36:37Speaker 2: gonna get something very similar to what you got with
- 36:40Speaker 2: Auburn and Baylor early in the year. I think you
- 36:42Speaker 2: get a very similar outcome in this ballgameh too.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Uh, Florida traveling to Oxford, Mississippi laying fifteen and a
- 36:51Speaker 1: half over Unders fifty three and a half. Scott it,
- 36:53Speaker 1: I'm gonna just toss the ball to you and tell
- 36:55Speaker 1: me Hobson's gonna go favorite.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Game of the week. I think ole Man is going
- 37:00Speaker 2: to crush these guys. I think Florida has finally quit.
- 37:03Speaker 2: They're going on the road, but the Rebels are. It's
- 37:09Speaker 2: just amazing the job that they're doing. And Kiffin and
- 37:13Speaker 2: I've got to tell you how great it was last
- 37:16Speaker 2: week that Kiffin at halftime, they asked him about the
- 37:19Speaker 2: first half game and he's like, well, I'm kind of
- 37:22Speaker 2: enjoying the Georgia's boat race in Mississippi State.
- 37:24Speaker 3: He goes, oh, you mean our game. I love it.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Like I thought it was the bunniest thing that pissed
- 37:30Speaker 3: off a bunch of things. Why it shouldn't be, Hey,
- 37:32Speaker 3: a shot at your rival. I mean, it is what
- 37:35Speaker 3: it is.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I mean, I loved it.
- 37:37Speaker 3: I thought it was hilarious. I mean I thought it
- 37:39Speaker 3: was super funny.
- 37:41Speaker 2: And I just think that Kiffin is really, really comfortable.
- 37:45Speaker 2: He's sitting in the catbird seat. Jimmy Sexton, Well, everybody's like, well,
- 37:49Speaker 2: if we wanted to tell you just signed is extension,
- 37:52Speaker 2: why would Lane Kiffin sign an extension right now?
- 37:56Speaker 3: Even if he's playing on Spain. That's the stupidest thing
- 38:00Speaker 3: he can do. He's gonna be able to get two
- 38:02Speaker 3: or three more million dollars.
- 38:03Speaker 2: There's no way Sexton's letting him sign until these jibs start,
- 38:08Speaker 2: until these jos start selling. In the same reason James
- 38:11Speaker 2: Franklin doesn't already have a job because Jimmy Second is
- 38:14Speaker 2: not gonna let him stay until he starts maximizing money,
- 38:18Speaker 2: because if Kiffen wants to stay, he'll reset the market
- 38:21Speaker 2: for every other one of Jimmy Sexton's clients. Rebels go out,
- 38:25Speaker 2: boat race, absolutely, boat race to Gators. I ain't. There's
- 38:30Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of talk of if he the
- 38:32Speaker 2: next coach, blah blah blah. Kiffin's not gonna pay attention
- 38:36Speaker 2: to it. But he's gonna go out and put forth
- 38:38Speaker 2: a great ball game this weekend against the team that
- 38:42Speaker 2: is finally quit love the Rebels here.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Oh Man Scotti next game we're involved in Mississippi State's
- 38:49Speaker 1: traveling to Columbia to play in this one. Should have
- 38:52Speaker 1: good weather, States getting seven against this MISSOO team States
- 38:56Speaker 1: five and five, they're eight and two against the number,
- 39:00Speaker 1: Missouri six and three, four, four and one against the number.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Give me Mississippi State in this one. And here's why
- 39:05Speaker 1: I like this team. This team last week got out matched. Yes,
- 39:09Speaker 1: was I on them and was I missing?
- 39:11Speaker 2: Yes?
- 39:11Speaker 1: Have we been on the last couple of weeks. Have
- 39:13Speaker 1: we won money?
- 39:14Speaker 2: Yes we have.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Here's why this team is better than what their record is.
- 39:19Speaker 1: And frankly, if they get Bowl eligible, this is a
- 39:22Speaker 1: huge win for this team. Missouri, on the other hand,
- 39:25Speaker 1: had high hopes that they might go to possibly get
- 39:28Speaker 1: a chance to win the SEC or at least play
- 39:31Speaker 1: for it. They're down to their third string quarterback, but
- 39:34Speaker 1: in Missouri's last five games, last five or six games,
- 39:38Speaker 1: this team just hasn't performed. They play against Alabama, they
- 39:41Speaker 1: lose twenty four to twenty seven in a close win
- 39:44Speaker 1: and a push on the spread that you've got from there.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Then they play a team in Auburn that's absolutely terrible
- 39:49Speaker 1: and they only beat them twenty three to seventeen. Then
- 39:52Speaker 1: they lose to Vandy, they lose Forbula, then they come back.
- 39:55Speaker 1: They play an A and M team that works. These guys,
- 39:59Speaker 1: thirty eight to seven team. You've got a Mississippi State
- 40:02Speaker 1: team that's gonna bounce back after playing Georgia last week.
- 40:05Speaker 1: They're gonna come in here, They're gonna cover the seven.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Give me the dogs to win, Baby, take the money,
- 40:11Speaker 1: lad we get bull eligible this week, Scott, I'm telling
- 40:14Speaker 1: you here it comes.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Well. I'm on the opposite side of this. I don't
- 40:19Speaker 2: think State can stop the run Georgia Gaston last week.
- 40:22Speaker 2: Uh And and Missouri does run the football, well, that
- 40:25Speaker 2: helps alleviate it for uh the uh from the thirteen
- 40:29Speaker 2: quarterback obviously, it lets him be more comfortable. I don't
- 40:32Speaker 2: think State's gonna be able to stop missoo running football.
- 40:35Speaker 2: And that's the reason I don't think they I hope
- 40:37Speaker 2: I'm wrong, and hope they get to win, but I
- 40:40Speaker 2: ain't get just they just kind of get ground down.
- 40:43Speaker 2: I ain't get State getting Bowl eligibles. All down to
- 40:45Speaker 2: what they do in the Egg Bowl, which I think
- 40:47Speaker 2: is going to be a great game, and I think
- 40:51Speaker 2: that determines where they get Bowlolize. Well, hope I'm wrong.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Hope they get it this weekend. But I think I
- 40:56Speaker 2: think Miszoo gets it done and I think they cover,
- 40:59Speaker 2: They're able to run the ball. I think this defense
- 41:02Speaker 2: from Missouri is going to be good enough to get
- 41:04Speaker 2: pressure on Shaping, and when you do, he struggles. I
- 41:09Speaker 2: am going to be fascinated this weekend though, to see
- 41:12Speaker 2: how much Camaro Taylor plays. He is still very inaccurate
- 41:16Speaker 2: with the football, especially on the mid range throw. He
- 41:19Speaker 2: tries to throw it too hard. He's got such a
- 41:21Speaker 2: great arm. He misses some open guys. But good lord,
- 41:25Speaker 2: that kid is huge and can run the football, and
- 41:27Speaker 2: he throws a great deep ball too, So I'm gonna
- 41:29Speaker 2: be interested to see how much he plays. The fan
- 41:32Speaker 2: base is getting a short rope with Shaping, but Shaven's
- 41:36Speaker 2: just got to have a clean pocket. When he does,
- 41:38Speaker 2: he throws the football well. When he doesn't, they struggle. Remember,
- 41:41Speaker 2: Georgia only had one sack on the defensive line, They
- 41:45Speaker 2: only had nine sacks overall going into Mississippi State, and
- 41:49Speaker 2: by the end of the first quarter they had three
- 41:51Speaker 2: sacks last week. So I think it's a big difference
- 41:54Speaker 2: This State offensive line is beat up. They've had guys.
- 41:58Speaker 2: I can't remember how many different combination of offensive line,
- 42:01Speaker 2: but it's a ton at four guys starting at new
- 42:04Speaker 2: positions last week. They're just beat up up front. And
- 42:07Speaker 2: that's the reason. That's the reason I like Missouri here.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Like I said, Levy's doing a good job. He's got
- 42:11Speaker 2: them on schedule. I said before the season, if he
- 42:13Speaker 2: gets them to six wins, he should be the SEC
- 42:16Speaker 2: coach of the year, and I stand by that.
- 42:19Speaker 1: A couple more games we got in here, Scotty, North
- 42:22Speaker 1: Texas is traveling to Alabama Birmingham. Obviously, this team's three
- 42:25Speaker 1: and six in Birmingham, the Dragons getting eighteen and a half.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Are you gonna lay it with North Texas here?
- 42:31Speaker 2: Man? They have been, dude, they've been that. This is
- 42:34Speaker 2: a good football team. And that little young quarterback who
- 42:39Speaker 2: never started. I love this. Such a great story, never
- 42:42Speaker 2: started in high school, comes to North Texas and is
- 42:44Speaker 2: lighting it up, leading the country in passing. I mean,
- 42:47Speaker 2: just a just a great story. Uh yeah, I think
- 42:50Speaker 2: they get it done again. We're past up. We're past that.
- 42:53Speaker 2: We fired the a hole coach and we've gotten our bump.
- 42:56Speaker 2: I think it's kind of starts winding down for uab here.
- 42:59Speaker 2: I think North Texas gets it done.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Like it, do you got anything in Michigan Northwestern? This
- 43:04Speaker 1: game we played at Wrigley Field line here's eleven and
- 43:07Speaker 1: a half. I lean on Michigan to kind of work
- 43:09Speaker 1: these guys a little bit and just overpower them. But
- 43:13Speaker 1: I'm not invault.
- 43:15Speaker 3: I love this line until I thought was it Wrigly.
- 43:18Speaker 3: I'm like, well, the hell that helps Michigan. You just
- 43:21Speaker 3: file in a bunch more Michigan fans.
- 43:23Speaker 2: I mean, no, I don't love it. That feels too
- 43:27Speaker 2: big of a number. I just think these teams are
- 43:30Speaker 2: very very similar. I mean, Michigan can't stretch it.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Out on you.
- 43:35Speaker 2: They want to run the football that It just feels
- 43:38Speaker 2: like one of these games where Northwestern is gonna keep
- 43:41Speaker 2: it close and have a chance to win this ball
- 43:43Speaker 2: game late. They probably won't get it done, but the
- 43:45Speaker 2: score is gonna be closed probably.
- 43:47Speaker 3: The whole game.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Next one's kind of interesting to me is TCU BYU
- 43:52Speaker 1: b WYU needs to bounce back if they want a
- 43:55Speaker 1: chance to make it to the Big twelve championship game.
- 43:57Speaker 1: They're laying four and a half against a t team
- 44:00Speaker 1: that they are six and three, but there's no shot
- 44:04Speaker 1: that they can make it into the championship game. And
- 44:06Speaker 1: I just wonder how much gas the Purple Frogs have
- 44:09Speaker 1: left in the tank. You think the boys in Special
- 44:11Speaker 1: Underwear get it done. Here, you go with the fighting Frogs.
- 44:15Speaker 2: I love the late night, late night kick and kind
- 44:17Speaker 2: of like the boys in Special Underwear here. It's funny.
- 44:21Speaker 3: There's some talk around Dallas but that they may fire.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Dykes like I won't be surprised.
- 44:26Speaker 3: I was six and three, you know, and look at
- 44:29Speaker 3: that just went to a Natty a couple of years ago.
- 44:33Speaker 3: I mean it is. I mean, college football is getting
- 44:35Speaker 3: on it's ether.
- 44:36Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it just really is.
- 44:38Speaker 3: But uh, I mean when you're wanting to fire your
- 44:40Speaker 3: coach and you're six and three, but.
- 44:42Speaker 2: They have not played well these last couple of weeks,
- 44:45Speaker 2: and the quarterback play has gone down instead of better.
- 44:48Speaker 2: So I just think there's some I don't really know
- 44:51Speaker 2: what's going on, but with that offensive staff and the players,
- 44:55Speaker 2: this team is a little more talented than that. They
- 44:57Speaker 2: ought to be able to score more points than they are.
- 44:59Speaker 2: So yeah, I kind of lean towards by you getting
- 45:01Speaker 2: back on track, late night game the boys in special
- 45:04Speaker 2: underwear in the dark, getting it done.
- 45:08Speaker 1: A couple games real quick, I like, but I haven't
- 45:10Speaker 1: played it yet. Iowa plus seven at USC. I'm not
- 45:13Speaker 1: going to be involved in this one. I want to
- 45:15Speaker 1: play Iowa plus seven, but I'll probably just sit and watch.
- 45:18Speaker 1: I mean love watching the kids from Iowa get to
- 45:21Speaker 1: get a chance to go out and play in some sunshine.
- 45:23Speaker 1: That'll be fantastic. And then one other game I got
- 45:26Speaker 1: down here Scotty Tennessee hosting New Mexico State. If you're
- 45:30Speaker 1: in the land big points, let's do it right here, baby.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Thirty nine and a half is what you can find.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Most places you can get a forty point is Tennessee.
- 45:38Speaker 1: If you go back and look in this spot where
- 45:41Speaker 1: the SEC has the weird you know, non conference pancake
- 45:45Speaker 1: game at the end. They've covered this number five times
- 45:48Speaker 1: in a row. And so I'm not saying throw your
- 45:51Speaker 1: whole bank roll at it, but I lean for Hypel
- 45:53Speaker 1: to cover a big number here.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Ike Tennessee is gonna just absolutely destroy these guys. Try
- 45:59Speaker 2: to get riddy. They got, you know, got big games
- 46:02Speaker 2: come looming these last couple of weeks. I think they
- 46:05Speaker 2: get right. Boy, that Mandy game is gonna be a
- 46:08Speaker 2: big game d in the year. But uh, I think hype.
- 46:11Speaker 2: I think Kype gets gets rolling, doesn't take his foot
- 46:14Speaker 2: off the gas. Mexico State's gonna They're just simply not
- 46:17Speaker 2: gonna be able to score.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Uh.
- 46:18Speaker 2: They don't score very much at all, period, and I
- 46:21Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna get it done.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Here, Scott, what's the highest totel on the board?
- 46:26Speaker 2: You got a clue, my un LV running ReBs, baby,
- 46:31Speaker 2: come on home. Of course they do seventy and a half.
- 46:34Speaker 2: Is the over under seventy and a half? I'm telling you,
- 46:39Speaker 2: don't be scared, Evin, Devin, you toss State this minute,
- 46:43Speaker 2: you toss State this weekend. Ye, So just get it, baby,
- 46:47Speaker 2: Bronco Menden Hall coming in against the fighting Dan mullins Man,
- 46:52Speaker 2: don't be scared of seventy.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I mean, I mean that's the up.
- 46:59Speaker 1: You should have seen it last week when I rolled
- 47:02Speaker 1: into the bar in Lubbock after the game. Of course,
- 47:06Speaker 1: it's Mayhem and we're in this bar and it just
- 47:09Speaker 1: opened and I was like, hey, man, can he changed
- 47:12Speaker 1: the channel? And he looked at me and He's like, yeah,
- 47:14Speaker 1: what do you want to watch? I'm like, I need
- 47:16Speaker 1: the Iowa game. And the guy looked back. He was like,
- 47:18Speaker 1: do we really have to watch Iowa play football? And
- 47:20Speaker 1: I'm like, absolutely, we do. So I'm going to try
- 47:23Speaker 1: to find somebody this week to watch, make them watch
- 47:25Speaker 1: UNLV and Utah State play. To get to that seventy
- 47:29Speaker 1: and a half number. I didn't lady yet when we
- 47:31Speaker 1: got there. So, Scotty, best bet you got this week?
- 47:33Speaker 1: You're on Old Miss? You love them to cover Florida.
- 47:36Speaker 1: I like that bet as well. I'll ride in that
- 47:39Speaker 1: one with you. We will split the difference in the
- 47:41Speaker 1: Mississippi State Missouri game that we've got from there. I've
- 47:45Speaker 1: actually got a teaser that I bet with Notre Dame
- 47:49Speaker 1: and Old Miss in that spot, and then any other
- 47:53Speaker 1: games that are just jumping off the board at you.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Like I said, this is not my favorite board. I'm
- 47:57Speaker 1: toe dipping my way through here.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Think I do think Tennessee is gonna get on. I
- 48:03Speaker 2: do think they're gonna get onto Mexico State. You're right
- 48:05Speaker 2: on that. You go back and look and he's done it.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Look he can even go back to some of these
- 48:10Speaker 2: games they played lesser teams that UCF he was hanging
- 48:13Speaker 2: huge numbers on them. So I mean, I think I
- 48:16Speaker 2: think this is a I think this is a really
- 48:18Speaker 2: good opportunity for you to get some things done. If
- 48:23Speaker 2: South Florida, if that defense can contain the run at all,
- 48:30Speaker 2: I think they're going to cover that cover that number.
- 48:32Speaker 1: I agree with you there, and I think they will.
- 48:34Speaker 1: I think they're ready for that game. Navy, I think
- 48:37Speaker 1: is little tough, gayzy, and we're starting to see that
- 48:40Speaker 1: now on this last bit of the run of the season.
- 48:42Speaker 1: But anyway, folks, been fun. We appreciate the downloads, We
- 48:46Speaker 1: appreciate all the comments. I got some funny notes last
- 48:48Speaker 1: week during those games. Everybody be safe. We hope you
- 48:51Speaker 1: go out and make a few bucks. We love you
- 48:53Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you next week.
