- 0:17How's it going today, man? Bright and sunny down here.
- 0:20How you guys doing up there? Sun's out, but it's like in the

- 0:32play and it is bright and sunny and like 80° here so all is
- 0:35good. Awesome.
- 0:37Well, let's hope our picks are just as sunny this weekend then.
- 0:39So today we got a we got a little, little different week
- 0:44set up for this week. So today we're going to preview
- 0:47the Thursday and Friday slate. There are a half a dozen games
- 0:50to look at. We do have 3 bets that we're
- 0:52actually going to give out towards the end of the show.
- 0:54But the main topic for today is, as you know if you've been
- 0:57following us, we made about three dozen or more futures
- 1:01bets, win totals, Heisman conference winners, national
- 1:04championship, things like that. So we're going to kind of give
- 1:06an update of those here as as we've hit the five week mark of
- 1:09the season, there are some adjusted odds here based on what
- 1:12we played. We'll go over those if that is
- 1:15indeed applicable to that particular bet.
- 1:18And then Saturday, we are going to do something we have yet to
- 1:23do on a Saturday and that's a one hour live stream.
- 1:27So this Saturday from 9:00 to 10:00 Eastern, feel free to drop
- 1:30in, share your bets for the day. We will go over all our Saturday
- 1:33bets. That'll be like the regular
- 1:35Thursday show. We'll have our bets breakdown on
- 1:37those games. We'll do the rapid fire segment
- 1:39at the end. So yeah, it'll just be like a
- 1:42regular show. It's just going to be like 30-6
- 1:44hours later than you're used to it.
- 1:45So bring your bets, bring your thoughts, bring your questions,
- 1:47bring your comments, and join us this Saturday morning from 9:00
- 1:51to 10:00 Eastern. So all right, with all that
- 1:53being said, guys, let's take a look at some of our futures.
- 1:57We've got a couple that have cast.
- 1:58We got one that's dead in the water.
- 2:01Some look good, some not so much.
- 2:03But let's get into it with the ACC.
- 2:06Pete, we'll start with you since you had the privilege of cashing
- 2:10the first futures bet on the year.
- 2:12We were all yes, exactly. Well, Clemson hating the start,
- 2:18start the preseason with your hatred was, was well funded.
- 2:22So start reviewing your your ACC futures bet and how we're
- 2:26looking. All pretty good.
- 2:28I mean, Clemson we did beat up pretty good and they started off
- 2:31beautifully for me. As you can see a 2 unit play at
- 2:33Clemson, which is great. They've they've done a fantastic
- 2:37job by sucking this year, which has been absolutely fantastic,
- 2:40which was expected all the way along.
- 2:42So I kind of felt this that was going to be in the bag pretty
- 2:45early and and it it it was. So that was a really good look
- 2:49at that. My other one that I have is
- 2:51Syracuse under 5 1/2. Yeah, I mean that one gets me a
- 2:56little, a little nervous, right. I need, obviously I need less
- 3:00than three more wins to to get there because they are they
- 3:02currently have three wins. I'm semi confident.
- 3:06You know, I think they could beat SMU and or Pitt and maybe
- 3:09BC at home. So there's three games I think
- 3:11they could win. So if they win two of them, I'm
- 3:13good. If they win all three, I'm dead
- 3:14in the water. So that's my thought of that.
- 3:16I'm still relatively confident. Let's say 5050 on that one, but
- 3:19we'll see how it plays out with the schedule.
- 3:21But as I said that last game BC at home, I would expect them to
- 3:24win that. So I got one of two others that
- 3:28I need them to lose either either Pitt or what's my I want
- 3:32SFU. So we'll see how that plays out,
- 3:34but those are my 2. And Tim, you and I have
- 3:39different bets on the same team and we are looking not as joyous
- 3:45to start out here, but go. Ahead so well thought Belichick
- 3:53would be better actually. So I have a little pull up the
- 3:58remaining schedule. I mean, they are.
- 4:01Let's see, what is their conference schedule right now?
- 4:03They are. Oh, and one I believe.
- 4:07No, no conference games yet. So.
- 4:08No conference games yet. OK, so technically they could
- 4:12might be able to get to the game.
- 4:13I guess who they got, I mean, they got Clemson.
- 4:15They're not that good this year, obviously, thanks to Pete.
- 4:18Or as at least he pointed out, they have a game against
- 4:21Syracuse. I believe Pete's hoping North
- 4:24Carolina takes that one there as well.
- 4:27Yeah, Stanford. I mean, they're winnable games.
- 4:30I mean, it's not like they're playing in Miami.
- 4:32I don't see Miami on there anywhere.
- 4:34I don't see Florida State on there anywhere, anywhere.
- 4:38I mean, who knows? It's not totally dead in the
- 4:40water, but they're taking out a lot of water.
- 4:42They're they're going to sink eventually, I think.
- 4:46But these next few games, obviously conference play is
- 4:49starting right now. I don't know if you had any
- 4:50other thoughts. Maybe you shot in the dark.
- 4:52Maybe they get better as the year goes on.
- 4:55Well, if you go back to one of my 2 ACC bets, my bet is
- 4:59retained so much water. I don't even know if if there's
- 5:02any hope here. I bet over 7 1/2 hoping that
- 5:07they would at least go three and one in their non conference
- 5:10schedule. They came out of it two and two.
- 5:12Norm you would think all right, one game off they can make that
- 5:14up. But things and those two losses
- 5:16they have look like they have no idea what they're doing out
- 5:18there. Tim, I, I know you bow down to
- 5:21the home of Gio Lopez at least twice a morning.
- 5:24He's not it man. If Max Johnson doesn't come out
- 5:27of this by week at least starting against Clemson, this
- 5:31bet is is pretty much not going to happen here if you are still
- 5:36a believer or if you're even anti North Carolina.
- 5:39The adjusted win total currently sits at 4 1/2.
- 5:42So you know, do with that info, which you will, but my win total
- 5:47bet not looking good. The other bet I made for the
- 5:52ACCI did bet Louisville to win the conference.
- 5:57So their first conference game last week, they gave up
- 6:00seventeen quick points to Pittsburgh, tied it up, gave up
- 6:03ten more quick points to Pittsburgh and then scored 17 to
- 6:05pull out a nice Rd. win. So they're kind of up there near
- 6:09the top one and O win conference play.
- 6:13Miller Moss not doing as great as I would hope, but he's not at
- 6:18least a train wreck either. So with Clemson already having
- 6:22two conference losses, that certainly helps because
- 6:25initially I think I was looking to see who could Clemson play in
- 6:29the in the title game for the ACC and then maybe do a hedge.
- 6:33But only 8 conference games, you lose 2, it's going to be tough
- 6:37for Clemson to work their way back in there.
- 6:39So Tim, I'm going to be a huge Florida State fan this week
- 6:43because I would love for Miami to pick up a nice conference
- 6:46loss to start with. But yeah, I mean, impressed with
- 6:51the comeback win on the road. They've got Virginia this week
- 6:54and then they go to Miami. They have a buy between those
- 6:57two games. And then their last two
- 6:59conference games are Clemson and SMU.
- 7:01So the schedule's still a little tough, but at least starting out
- 7:05one and O with a road win gives me some hope that that I won't
- 7:08be hating that one, at least until we look at these again in
- 7:10another month or so. So that's where that sits.
- 7:16Oh boy, here we go. Let's go to the next conference
- 7:18here. Big 10 all.
- 7:20Right. And you got a couple with the
- 7:21same team. Go ahead and start us out here
- 7:23with. All right, well, you know, I
- 7:26like to swing for defenses. So my big swing for defenses, I
- 7:29had Washington to win the conference because it was plus
- 7:336000. Hopefully they can get there and
- 7:35get to the game and look at a nice little hedge they held Ohio
- 7:40State. I mean, I I expected both teams
- 7:42last week to score, you know, 48 to 41 final, something like
- 7:46that. They did hold them to 24 points.
- 7:50You know, I expected them to score a lot more.
- 7:51The defense did look better. The offense did not look good.
- 7:54They seem to be got to get back to somebody's offensive
- 7:58coordinators in college football that is not really good at play
- 8:00calling. You take away the one thing that
- 8:01they do well and they have nothing to go back on.
- 8:05They they don't really set things up.
- 8:06They kind of just go and give the ball to the, you know, great
- 8:09athlete, you know, the quarterback there.
- 8:12So and just hope he makes a play, which seems to be a lot
- 8:15what a lot of these coordinators seem to do.
- 8:18So I did have them and I also have them for over 7 1/2 wins.
- 8:21We can hopefully pull up their schedule here.
- 8:27Rips. They do have some winnable games
- 8:29on their schedule. I mean, you know, they've got,
- 8:32you know, Michigan on the road, they've got Illinois at home.
- 8:34They can beat Wisconsin, Purdue, UCLA, Maryland.
- 8:40So they get to 7 1/2 and I believe they are currently.
- 8:46I think there are four or four in one right now.
- 8:49I like the way that's something right now.
- 8:51Three in one. Yeah.
- 8:52I like the way that bet looks. Yeah, I do.
- 8:54Too there there's there's five winnable games on there.
- 8:57I like that way that one's going.
- 8:58So, Dan, do you have one? Yeah, you got Indiana so I can
- 9:03pull up. This I'm I'm I'm happy with this
- 9:06one here. You know, I got 8 1/2 at a
- 9:08little bit of plus money their last two games they they they
- 9:13did quite well against Illinois and then avoided and that down
- 9:16went to Iowa and actually came away with a win there.
- 9:19So they're five and O their win total is adjusted up to 9 1/2
- 9:26and it is juice like -250 to the over at DraftKings.
- 9:29So Vegas is thinking that this is A10 win team here.
- 9:33Of course, I say that going to Oregon, not ideal, but those
- 9:38next three after that certainly looks like this could be an 8 in
- 9:42one team. And then, you know, you want to
- 9:46lose to Penn State, that's fine, but you should be able to handle
- 9:49Wisconsin at home and Purdue on the road.
- 9:51So barring A Mendoza injury, their quarterback, this one
- 9:55looks, this one looks good. Yeah, go Kurt Signetti.
- 10:00Google him. Google him.
- 10:01Absolutely. All right.
- 10:04Pete, you got one as well in the Big 10.
- 10:06What one are you looking at? I.
- 10:08Do I got Nebraska this one, you know, you know, I don't feel so
- 10:12great about it. I got three wins.
- 10:13I need five more. You look at the schedule, it's
- 10:16possible and I needing five more.
- 10:19I gave myself maybe a 25% probability today of, of, of
- 10:22hitting that. I mean, Michigan State, they
- 10:24could win that game because Michigan State's not great.
- 10:27Maryland, I don't know. Minnesota at Minnesota, probably
- 10:29not. Northwestern, they can win that.
- 10:32USC, I don't know about the Iowa thing and UCLA they can win.
- 10:37So I think, I mean, I can see three to four wins here
- 10:41remaining. That fifth one could be elusive.
- 10:44It really depends. I mean, they have to be in
- 10:47Michigan State if that, if they don't beat Michigan State that
- 10:49then this is dead as far as I'm concerned.
- 10:50We'll see how that goes. But they win that game, you
- 10:53know, and maybe they pull off a little upset somewhere here.
- 10:55It would be, it'd be good to see, but we'll see.
- 10:58We'll see how it transpires. But you know, I think it's
- 11:00really going to turn pretty quickly in the next couple weeks
- 11:02which direction this goes. I think they got a chance
- 11:05against the UFC at home, one one of the upsets that they pulled
- 11:10off. Their defense is is way better.
- 11:12I mean that that certainly could be one that that they they can
- 11:17win. I think.
- 11:19We did good with this conference.
- 11:22Yeah, it's. Not terrible.
- 11:23I mean the technically those, those all, they don't even look
- 11:26bad five weeks in the season. They all look like they have a
- 11:29decent shot. So yeah, good job.
- 11:32Apparently we should just do a Big 10 show and screw the rest.
- 11:34Up targeting Big 10 winners. Here we go, Targeting big. 10,
- 11:39All right, Big 12 is next. All right, Tim, I'm just going
- 11:41to let you go last because you have 41 bets in this conference.
- 11:45So, Pete, why don't you keep going with yours and let us know
- 11:49where you're sitting currently with your Big 12 futures?
- 11:52Yeah, So Big 12, I'm not so confident in so Kansas over 7
- 11:551/2, they've got 3, so I need five more looking across their
- 11:59schedule and I see maybe three or four wins.
- 12:03To me, I think this one is pretty much dead in the water.
- 12:06I just don't see how that schedule is going to play itself
- 12:09out in their favor to get that many wins.
- 12:10I just, I don't see that happening.
- 12:11I'd like to see it, but I don't see it happening.
- 12:14West Virginia. Interesting, right.
- 12:15So over 5 1/2 I've got 2. So I need four more.
- 12:19Hopefully when we are in Florida and what, 2 weeks we're going to
- 12:22see a win there and hopefully I'd like I need to get two more
- 12:27after that. So I I don't know.
- 12:30I mean, I really don't like the way the schedule plays out for
- 12:33them going forward here. I mean, Texas Tech, no Arizona
- 12:37State, no, you know, Colorado at home, sure, maybe Houston,
- 12:41probably not. So so that UCF game and play BYU
- 12:46is not going to happen. I will talk about that in a
- 12:48little bit with our best for this week, but I don't see that
- 12:50happening. They're probably gonna get
- 12:52crushed there. So yeah.
- 12:54So I'm not feeling all that confident here that this is
- 12:57going to turn the right direction unless they get hot.
- 13:00But still, it's a schedule is just not not favoring where I
- 13:03want to go. So I think I'm not totally dead
- 13:06in the water, but I am taking on water and listening to the
- 13:09starboard. What you got, Aaron?
- 13:14I just have one. I bet Oklahoma State under 4 1/2
- 13:21wins. The five and a half of Super
- 13:22Juice DraftKings dropped it to 4 1/2 at some plus money.
- 13:25I jumped on this initially. I figured they would go 2 and
- 13:29one in their non conference slate.
- 13:31As we all know, the big twelves got 9 conference games.
- 13:34I mean they did go O and nine in the conference last year.
- 13:36I didn't think they would be that bad, but I figured two and
- 13:38seven added together four and eight team.
- 13:40All right, fine. I'm betting the under the help
- 13:44that I got was they lost at home to Tulsa.
- 13:48So they're currently sitting at 1:00 and 3:00.
- 13:52I believe they are, yeah, 'cause they lost to Baylor last week.
- 13:54So they're one and three. It's nothing but conference play
- 13:58from here on out. They would need to win four of
- 14:01these games to lose here. They're probably not winning
- 14:11God. Any of them?
- 14:11I'm trying to be generous here, looking right.
- 14:17Yeah, I mean this one I feel good about the I'm just going to
- 14:21say I feel good about this one. Yeah, I don't know where there's
- 14:25two. What was I thinking, thinking
- 14:27they were going to get 2 conference wins.
- 14:28I, I don't know where they are guys.
- 14:32But anyway, if you were still very anti Cowboy, their two
- 14:36their win total is 2 1/2 juiced to the under.
- 14:39So again, Vegas is not seeing two wins from here on out and
- 14:46they yeah, I think they're right.
- 14:48I I just don't know. I mean, Arizona's playing good.
- 14:52Houston's playing good since he's playing good.
- 14:56Maybe UCF, but that's on the screw it, this one better cash
- 15:02or I'm just gonna quit. Yeah, it's alright.
- 15:06This one looks good. Where there's no water here.
- 15:08We're we're sitting at the top of the yacht.
- 15:10It hasn't sunk yet. Yeah, I already threw my North
- 15:15Carolina life draft out to get Tim and I out of the out of the
- 15:18drowning. But yeah, this one looks OK.
- 15:20I, I, I I'm happy with where this one currently sits.
- 15:23If it doesn't hit, Pete and I will be joining you next year
- 15:26for if it doesn't. Hit How ironic would it be that
- 15:29Oklahoma State that already took four years off my life thanks to
- 15:32the 2023 season, or somehow their home game against Iowa
- 15:36State, they're sitting at like 4:00 and 7:00 and I have to
- 15:38sweat this out. I will probably go into some
- 15:41kind of sepsis attack or something and just be very.
- 15:43Poetic. Very poetic.
- 15:45That would just be ironic. I just thought I was like, wow,
- 15:48just terrible. But anyway, Tim, you got half a
- 15:51dozen futures bets here, so I. Do what are we looking at?
- 15:55OK, You know, if you could see my computer screen, I've got
- 15:57like all these windows on here like NASA would be like, dude,
- 16:01you need to tone it down a little bit.
- 16:03None of them have my bets. So I'm breeding them off of this
- 16:06beautifully done graphic off the top here.
- 16:09So I have Colorado BYU at 8. I got to blow it up here.
- 16:19All right, Utah 50, BYU at 7:50 and to win the conference and
- 16:26Colorado plus 1600, that was my swing for defenses I had them at
- 16:33last year. Was it +4000 or +3000?
- 16:36Yeah, plus 4000 last year. And it was a log jam ever since.
- 16:40When we started doing this show two years ago, I said the Big
- 16:4312's a dumpster fire. I'm expecting a log jam at the
- 16:48top as there was last year when I had 4000 two weeks out.
- 16:53I was off getting offered buyouts and I waited too long.
- 16:56I waited one week too long. I could have got, I believe 20
- 17:00units if I cashed out and then like 20. 20, like almost 23 I
- 17:06believe and. Then I made that bet for you.
- 17:08Because the Dragons had 4000. And then when I when they lost,
- 17:12they lost to Kansas. They were heavily favored
- 17:14against Kansas. I believe it was they lost to
- 17:16Kansas and it went down to like 9 units.
- 17:19So but but they do offer these things I like, I still like BYU,
- 17:25I still like Utah to win a conference.
- 17:28And So what we can do now, let's see go back here and let's pull
- 17:37up. So I I think the Colorado bets
- 17:39dead. They are not playing well and if
- 17:45they pull up some upsets, that kind of that's going to hurt my
- 17:47other conference bets. So I'm kind of hoping that if
- 17:50this is the one that dies, if it dies, it dies.
- 17:55So Utah, I like the rest of their schedule.
- 17:57They have the one game against BYU, which could be
- 17:59counterproductive, but they have a tough game against Baylor.
- 18:04I think they're going to be there towards the end.
- 18:07They have a really good shot at doing it.
- 18:10I'm just down. I mean, I know.
- 18:12I think I originally predicted Kansas State to win, but didn't
- 18:15bet on them. Bet on everybody but the team I
- 18:17picked to win. So did I.
- 18:18We're not looking at. That it's funny how the the
- 18:21thing works and BYUI really like they got a game tonight.
- 18:24We'll get to that later. So oops.
- 18:28Now we're going back into our next category.
- 18:32I don't think any of these are if they're going to win, I think
- 18:35let me see if we pull out the standings.
- 18:40So BYU, they got over 7 1/2 wins.
- 18:44Well, they're at four and oh, I like the way that looks right
- 18:46now. I mean, I I'm looking at look at
- 18:48their schedule. I just had it up here a little
- 18:49bit ago. Can I do that?
- 18:53No, I can't. So, but anyway, the Utah over 7
- 18:581/2 wins, they got another four wins left on that schedule as
- 19:03well. I think the win totals are
- 19:04there. It's going to be interesting as
- 19:06we get down to the title, title game.
- 19:11I'm hoping at least one of these teams makes that title game.
- 19:14Yeah, Iowa State being a pain and you got Arizona State also
- 19:17being a pain. So that's where I stand.
- 19:22I I like the futures bets or the win total bets, The conference
- 19:26championship. I'll probably only be able to
- 19:29buy out on one of those. I was planning on hopefully
- 19:32buying out on at least two of them to get down to the last
- 19:35week before the championship game.
- 19:36I was hoping Colorado would have been one of them so I would have
- 19:38got a nice buy out there, but I don't know one a little crazy
- 19:44with the Big 12 guys. What can I say, I'm a I'm a
- 19:46sucker for a dumpster fire. Indeed, feel your.
- 19:51Pain man I I I totally get where you're coming from.
- 19:54I like the BYU 1 though because Utah losing to Texas Tech would
- 19:58have to jump them into standing. So yeah.
- 20:00BYU still sitting there undefeated in the conference.
- 20:04So yeah, I like where you're at with BYU there.
- 20:08Well, why don't we go to the next conference where it just
- 20:10means more guys. It just means more.
- 20:13It means everything just. Means more all right guys, SEC
- 20:17Pete this is your second cash already so go ahead and start us
- 20:22off and again Tim leads the team with 15 futures bets so.
- 20:30Well, I mean, there's not a whole lot to say.
- 20:31And with the Mississippi State over 3 1/2, they've already got
- 20:344. They've been playing well and
- 20:36looking good, which I expected not quite to this level, but I'm
- 20:40happy to see they got those wins in.
- 20:41So that was, I believe, my only bet in this conference, correct.
- 20:46So I think Nope, you got a Missouri.
- 20:48I'm sorry, I've got Missouri. I'm sorry.
- 20:50I look at my sheet. So let's talk about Missouri.
- 20:52Mississippi State's in the bag. That's a winner, winner chicken
- 20:54dinner. So I'm moving on to Missouri
- 20:55over 6 1/2. They already have 5.
- 20:59I need two more wins and I think it is a tough schedule in front
- 21:03of them, but Mississippi State at home and Arkansas, Arkansas
- 21:06on the road I think are potential wins.
- 21:09So I, I think that this is maybe 5050 chance of hitting here with
- 21:13those two. So we'll see how it plays.
- 21:15Not the prettiest of schedule. If you look look at the schedule
- 21:18and it's not, it is not an easy path in front of them.
- 21:20But as I said, I I do see two more wins for them in front.
- 21:23So I'm still pretty optimistic this could could come home.
- 21:27I said 5050 on this one. We'll see how it plays out but
- 21:30but so far so good with five wins.
- 21:32So those are my 2. Oklahoma.
- 21:38Yeah, if you want to talk about an ugly ass schedule.
- 21:41So I I bet Oklahoma a little bit of plus money to get at least
- 21:45eight regular season wins. So start of the season went
- 21:51well, they won their first key game against Michigan and then
- 21:55they took care of Auburn. So things were looking good.
- 22:00This win total is currently off the board because the used to be
- 22:04Heisman front runner John Metier decided you know what screwed
- 22:08Aaron in his futures bet at plus money.
- 22:10I'm going to break my throwing hand.
- 22:14So now I need to find what three wins out of this?
- 22:20Wait, what are they say, 4 and O?
- 22:215 and OI don't even know what the hell they are, but oh wait,
- 22:25oh, they got 1230. They got eight games left, so
- 22:27they're four and O Kent State, OK, you should probably win that
- 22:33even with the backup QB. So that would get you to five.
- 22:38There is some talk that he might be back the following week to
- 22:42play Texas in the Red River Shootout.
- 22:43I'm not sure I feel super confident about that.
- 22:47But Texas's offense hasn't really been all that so far.
- 22:50So maybe you can get that one. If not, South Carolina's kind of
- 22:55not very good this year. But the rest of that schedule,
- 22:59man, there's a lot of numbers less than 15 on there.
- 23:04So not sure how I feel about that.
- 23:08I mean, Lane Kiffin usually throws a dud in there.
- 23:11Maybe it's when they go to Oklahoma at the end of October.
- 23:16But yeah, nothing on that outside of Kent State really
- 23:20inspires I Kent State, South Carolina gets him to six.
- 23:23So somewhere in that other cluster of.
- 23:27They. Need to find two more wins.
- 23:29LSU could be I mean, maybe Missouri, I mean, Tennessee
- 23:36struggled against Mississippi State.
- 23:38Maybe. I mean, it's all going to depend
- 23:39on it. Their defense is going to keep
- 23:41them in in every game and give them a chance.
- 23:44The problem is just if, if we're still using Michael Hawkins, you
- 23:47know, at the end of the month, I guess Ole Miss, I, I'm not going
- 23:50to be happy about this at all. But, you know, beating Auburn
- 23:55and Michigan certainly got this bet off on the right foot.
- 24:01And now unfortunately, it fell on the wrong hand.
- 24:03So now I, I, I don't really know.
- 24:07I don't know, I, I felt good until the report came out about
- 24:10the broken hand. I'll just say that.
- 24:12But we'll see. Not as confident as I was two
- 24:16weeks ago on that one. Right.
- 24:19Let me ask you guys a question. What's the most wrong you've
- 24:23ever been? Oh God, and what?
- 24:28Time, you ask my wife, it could be like like daily you want you
- 24:33want them listed alphabetically or order of importance because
- 24:36yes. We could get lists of those if
- 24:38you want that I don't. Think any of them will match to
- 24:41my one future bet? Vanderbilt under 4 1/2 wins.
- 24:46And if you're looking at the standings, they're right up
- 24:48there at the top at five and oh, after five weeks.
- 24:52So yeah, that one sucked. That one's dead in the water, if
- 24:57you played that, sorry. And why, dude?
- 25:03I was in agreement and they lost a lot.
- 25:05I didn't think they would be not and I think it's they're they're
- 25:08actually really good like. Now, everybody.
- 25:12'S talking about like they're going to beat Alabama again.
- 25:16Hey, they're all paying players now.
- 25:17Everybody can do it. Let's that's true.
- 25:20You know, I'm sure their academic standards will start to
- 25:23drop a little bit and all of a sudden it starts.
- 25:27So I don't even know do they even go to class now or do?
- 25:33They. Show up and play or because
- 25:35they're getting paid. I mean, that's.
- 25:37Where it got them. So yeah, I'm truly good.
- 25:41So all right now I do have a lot of futures bets, but they're
- 25:44mostly with, well, other than the wonderful Vanderbilt bet,
- 25:49they're with Texas A&M. I'm expecting, I just think this
- 25:52could, it's still looks good. They all look good for right
- 25:55now. We will get, I have Marcel Reed
- 25:59Heisman plus 4000. We'll talk about that a little
- 26:03bit later in the show cause Pete also has a Heisman bet, Texas A
- 26:07and M / 7 1/2 wins and I have Texas A&M to win the conference
- 26:11and the natty plus 3000 for the Natty plus 1400 for the
- 26:16conference. They are, I believe four and O
- 26:20right now. Could be, but they got to get 7
- 26:251/2 wins. I think they got Florida coming
- 26:27up at home. They have South Carolina at
- 26:29home. They have a powerhouse Sanford
- 26:32coming in. So the over bet right there with
- 26:35the win total looks good. They have Texas on the road that
- 26:41hopefully that will have a good effect on the Heisman.
- 26:43Bet you know, Arkansas, LSU on the road.
- 26:47That's going to be a difficult game.
- 26:49I'm not. Doing it whatever it is, no.
- 26:51It won't. I'm surprised you.
- 26:54Didn't count that already as a win.
- 26:56Did you watch Arkansas last week against the?
- 26:58Worst defense of the. Nation In Notre Dame, they put
- 27:02up 13 points. Come on.
- 27:05You know, I just, I think they they can get there with one loss
- 27:10that might get them into the into the game.
- 27:13You know, for that, I think they're barring obviously an
- 27:17injury, don't want an injury to anybody.
- 27:20You know, we take that out of it.
- 27:21That's not what we do here, but it's looking good.
- 27:24They're going to be there in the playoff come playoff time.
- 27:29So I like that bet. I don't know if you guys have
- 27:30any thoughts on it. I'm expecting, I think this is
- 27:32going to be like that special year 20 years from now, Like
- 27:34remember that team from 25 that that A&M team, how great they
- 27:38were, blah, blah, blah. So I don't know if you guys have
- 27:40any thoughts. I just, I love the offensive
- 27:42line, the running backs, the front 7 on defense.
- 27:46I'm actually considering betting them this Saturday morning.
- 27:50Wait and see what the line is. But I dude where you're sitting
- 27:53at with all those bets dude, I love it all man.
- 27:55I mean they they all look really good.
- 27:57It's a big year. From A&M, loving A&M.
- 28:04Let me do this. I want to move along and see
- 28:07where are we now. Let's get into the group.
- 28:12Here we go. A fun one the.
- 28:14Fun conference here, yes? Alright, I'm going to go first.
- 28:19Hawaii over 5 1/2 wins. This was to me, obviously a home
- 28:24play, right? Going to Hawaii and playing
- 28:27there is difficult, and so I was leaning into home games and
- 28:30leading into the ability for them to beat teams they
- 28:33shouldn't at home because they do that and they do that all the
- 28:35time. So over 5 1/2 they've already
- 28:37got 4, including a nice little Rd. win last week when they shot
- 28:42the Air Force out of the sky, which was fantastic.
- 28:44This bets lick and golden. I like this bet a lot.
- 28:47They've got three more home games.
- 28:51I need two of those to win the bet.
- 28:52So I'm pretty confident they can win two of those.
- 28:55So I like I like what I see here and I think this thing is
- 28:58trending in the right direction. Go rainbow warriors.
- 29:01They look pretty good last week so it was kind of fun to watch.
- 29:09That's why. UNLV Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot
- 29:11about that. So well, not much to say yet.
- 29:13I mean, you know, they're they haven't played a conference game
- 29:16yet. They're foreign over overall.
- 29:18So they they look good. I think they will continue to
- 29:20look good. So they're in play, you know, so
- 29:22until we see a few conference games here and see how that kind
- 29:25of works out a little bit, they they look good.
- 29:27I think they they have a good, good chance still, in my my
- 29:30opinion hasn't changed in this one.
- 29:31We'll see how it plays out. Darren, what you got?
- 29:36We have pretty much the same San Jose State, San Jose.
- 29:41State man, you waited till now to get a kicker after you
- 29:44literally lost two games on last second field goals.
- 29:47You should be 3 and one if you could kick.
- 29:49But no, your 380 LB kicker cost you 2 games and now you're
- 29:53sitting at 1:00 and 3:00. So yeah, this this bet is right
- 29:56on there with my North Carolina win total bet.
- 29:59Apparently 7 1/2 is a horrible number for me to bet, regardless
- 30:02of the team. Yeah, just once They lost to
- 30:07Central Michigan in the first week.
- 30:08I was like, wow, that that should never happen.
- 30:11And that wasn't even. That's because they had three
- 30:12turnovers in like, the first four drives.
- 30:15Yeah, not, not what I was expecting from San Jose State
- 30:19here. But I mean, looking at that
- 30:22schedule, I mean, you need to go six and two out of that.
- 30:26So you're probably losing to Utah State the way they the way
- 30:30they're playing. You're probably losing to San
- 30:32Diego State the way they're playing.
- 30:34And the fact that you just out and out suck.
- 30:37Yeah, you're probably going to lose one more game before that.
- 30:39So not a fan of where this bet is sitting.
- 30:43Thanks, San Jose Bastards. Well, my bad.
- 30:51San Jose State to win the conference.
- 30:55Well, so far they they look really far down.
- 30:58Doesn't look that good, but their conference record I
- 31:00believe is. Oh and I they're in an 8 way tie
- 31:03for third. You're still alive.
- 31:05That's. Right as.
- 31:06Long as they don't have to kick, you'll be fine.
- 31:09OK, perfect. Well, they they're addressing
- 31:11the kicker problem before conference play, so that's
- 31:13always good. They did.
- 31:14They do have a new one, so we'll see what could possibly go
- 31:17wrong. Right.
- 31:20All right. Well, what should we do right
- 31:22here? A little, yeah.
- 31:23We got a best of the rest. We got a few more.
- 31:25We didn't have as many in the other conferences, but yeah,
- 31:27let's get those out of the way and see where we're at.
- 31:32USA All right, I'll have our bets up.
- 31:37I was. Going to say I don't remember
- 31:38everything that we did, but yeah, put that slide up there so
- 31:41we can see what we got let. Me.
- 31:43See, I don't think I have that slide.
- 31:45Let's go. Oh, you don't I?
- 31:48Agree. There it is, best of the rest,
- 31:50you got that slide. But it's not on the one, it's
- 31:54not on the the conference that was the matter start.
- 31:57With start with the two conferences you got there, man.
- 32:01All right, the Sunbelt. That's Pete's conference, Pete.
- 32:05But I'm. Starting at the bottom here, I
- 32:08find now we're. Going with the what are the
- 32:10slides? Ah.
- 32:12Fantastic. So, yeah, so Troy, I have here
- 32:15to win the sunbelts that they haven't played any conference
- 32:17games yet. Obviously they're about to start
- 32:19this. I don't love the way they look.
- 32:21I don't love the way they're playing.
- 32:23So my confidence in this bet has gone from, I don't know, 25% to
- 32:272.5% at this point. Once again, haven't played a
- 32:31conference game. We'll see what happens.
- 32:33But I, I just, I do not like the way they look.
- 32:35I, I, I, I, I don't think, I think this thing is dead, but
- 32:38you know, I could be slightly optimistic going forward.
- 32:40But yeah, has that not not feeling so good about it.
- 32:44So that's that's my bet here. What are you going to do?
- 32:47Heisman last right? Yeah, that'll be on a on A later
- 32:50towards the end of the show. So we'll get to that one later.
- 32:52All right, Darren, bowling. Well, you got bowling.
- 32:56Let's do some. Yeah, I have what I have.
- 32:59Southern Miss one and O so far, I believe.
- 33:04Yep, they have that one. Winning conference play.
- 33:06So, so far, so good. Nothing else to report on that
- 33:08one. That one seems healthy.
- 33:11And I have what you want to go do over to the Mac.
- 33:16Yeah. We got a couple of.
- 33:18Toledo believe what, 8 1/2 wins? And I believe they have 3
- 33:23already. So looking at that schedule,
- 33:31that's Bowling Green. That's.
- 33:33Me. That's your.
- 33:33Mac Bat, there we go. I was gonna say, I don't see
- 33:35Toledo on here anywhere so well on the road to Washington State.
- 33:41They've got Northern Illinois. Looks tough.
- 33:47I think it's manageable. I'm not going to declare this
- 33:49one dead or on life support by any means.
- 33:52You know, they got Kent State there.
- 33:55You know they got you got your bowling.
- 33:57I seem to like. Where that one is, man, Miami of
- 33:59Ohio is not playing good ball right now that that all of a
- 34:02sudden became a much more winnable game.
- 34:05Right. And what did you have?
- 34:07You had Bowling Green? I had.
- 34:08Bowling Green under 6 1/2, they did upset.
- 34:13Well, I don't know if you want to call beating Liberty and
- 34:15upset anymore. Liberty is kind of just they're
- 34:17done. But I mean, Bowling Green still
- 34:18sits at 2:00 and 3:00. They they really are starting
- 34:23over. I mean, you look at the those
- 34:25two home games they got coming up.
- 34:28I mean, they should lose to Toledo, Central Michigan.
- 34:30I don't really know what you're going to get from Central
- 34:32Michigan from week to week, but I can't wait till November when
- 34:34I bet on them and they drive me friggin crazy.
- 34:38You know, Kent State almost beat Buffalo a couple weeks ago.
- 34:41I'm not even going to go out on a limb and give Bowling Green a
- 34:43win on the road at Kent State quite yet.
- 34:47But yeah, I mean, there's what, seven games there?
- 34:50They have to win five of those to get to 7 and five and beat
- 34:56me. So I need 3 losses.
- 34:59Let's just say Toledo, Buffalo, I don't know, maybe I'm going to
- 35:04need another up to, I mean, I need Central Michigan to get him
- 35:07'cause, you know, having UMass, Akron, you know, and Kent State,
- 35:11I guess on your schedule certainly leads me to believe
- 35:13that they'll get to 5 at least. But yeah, I, I mean, losing to
- 35:19Liberty would have, I would have felt really, really good about
- 35:21that. So sweating it a little, but
- 35:24they'll, they'll blow a key one somewhere to make up for that.
- 35:26So I'm not freaking out about that one yet.
- 35:29OK. And I've got East Carolina, the
- 35:32one the American well before we go to that slide and which other
- 35:36one didn't we not cover Middle Tennessee State at Conference
- 35:39USA? Oh yeah, let's go to Conference
- 35:43USA so I can get my vent out for the week.
- 35:45I know I've been kind of thoroughly already, but.
- 35:48All right, Sir, the floor is yours.
- 35:51Should be I spend enough time on it bitching about these games.
- 35:55Yeah so I bet UTEP over 5 1/2 when I thought that Malachi
- 35:58Nelson was going to actually be good when he won the starting
- 36:02job over Skyler Locklear. But congratulations Malachi, you
- 36:06have won my ass award for the week because you are literally
- 36:08the biggest pair of cheeks I've ever seen take a snap from
- 36:11center. How many pick sixes are you
- 36:13going to throw before Scotty Walden benches your ass and
- 36:17gives a job back to Locklear? Hopefully it'll be over the bye
- 36:20week because that schedule is definitely doable where they can
- 36:24still get the six wins, but not with Nelson under center.
- 36:27This team is absolute garbage right now.
- 36:31Dodd fire them all. Congrats Malachi.
- 36:33The weekly ASS award which I just started right now goes to.
- 36:40You, I mean, look at that schedule.
- 36:41I mean, we all know. Liberty is ass, Sam Houston's O
- 36:43and four, Kenneth Dodd sucks, Jacksonville sucks, Missouri
- 36:46State sucks, New Mexico State sucks.
- 36:48I mean that there's six wins there, but you know, if Locklear
- 36:52doesn't come out of the bye as as the QB, come on man, this.
- 36:58That's still a six win team right there, but I guess we'll
- 37:01find out. October 8th is what, Wednesday?
- 37:06What's today? Yeah, Wednesday.
- 37:07Beautiful. Conference USA takes over
- 37:09weekdays in October. Get ready because there's going
- 37:12to be much more griping coming out of the show.
- 37:17Sorry Tim, I'm done now. Go ahead.
- 37:19It's all right. Well, my Conference USA pick
- 37:22technically still in 3rd place with the O and one.
- 37:25Not a good way to start the conference play and in the
- 37:29American East Carolina want to know in a conference.
- 37:32So both still alive not going to pull up their schedules.
- 37:38I'm liking them both. I still I think Milton TN can
- 37:40come back. You hate to have the early
- 37:41season loss in conference, but you know things happen for a
- 37:47reason of anything to add there, Peter?
- 37:52No, I'm good for now. Keep rolling.
- 37:54He's got his high for a bit getting.
- 37:56Closer to our bets yes, here we go.
- 38:00So there we are we have our Heisman bet.
- 38:02So I got them both on here. I got Jeremiah love there at the
- 38:06bottom. I've got gosh, what the hell
- 38:09auto correct, but I read at the top it says reach what is read.
- 38:15So we got 9 touchdowns. The only two I think that are
- 38:19more I've got the the more up in Oregon.
- 38:22I got Mendoza in Indiana highlighted.
- 38:25The other three were kind of they were talking at the
- 38:27preseason. You know, my tears hurts.
- 38:29I kind of took him off. I had to do it to the kid, but I
- 38:34know I like to bet. Plus 4000.
- 38:35I don't know what you're thinking there.
- 38:36Peter for yours. Yeah, I'm not liking mine very
- 38:39much. I mean, he's been Jeremiah's
- 38:41been good, but he hasn't been great.
- 38:43And I think it would require him to be great the rest of this
- 38:46year to have a chance to win this this award, you know, so
- 38:50he's been he's been good, he's been serviceable.
- 38:52And they look at his numbers. They're they're fine.
- 38:54They're not eye popping. There's there's nothing, you
- 38:56know, he hasn't thrown the team on his back and carried them to
- 38:59victories. None of the things that you
- 39:01would need to see from a running back to win the Heisman, Simply
- 39:05put. So, you know, unless, you know,
- 39:07unless this thing turns around, unless he becomes the the stud
- 39:10that he is the rest of the rest of this year, then yeah, this
- 39:14this bet is not going anywhere. So unfortunately, I hate to say
- 39:18it, and he has kind of gone the way of Notre Dame not looking
- 39:20all that great either, which has been a problem.
- 39:22So the team doesn't look that great.
- 39:24And it's just it's just hurting him as well.
- 39:26So I think it's just not just him.
- 39:28It's a whole team thing. So yeah.
- 39:29What? Else is actually hurting him is
- 39:31not so much the Chris trash run defense, it's the fact that
- 39:34Genarium Price has actually had a pretty decent year as well.
- 39:37He's not he's not the backup that we all thought he was
- 39:41probably going to be. We thought it was going to be
- 39:43pretty much a Jeremiah Love run heavy offense, but Price has
- 39:47played well. So yeah, absolutely love stats
- 39:49that were that we were looking for to to help with this bet.
- 39:53Unfortunately, Price has has taken some of them, but as long
- 39:57as his defense sucks nuts, he'll still have a chance to put up
- 40:00some numbers. So.
- 40:02Don't, you know, don't hate you. I mean, he's he's, he's the
- 40:06better of the two, but yeah, he is.
- 40:07Yeah, just I'm, yeah, I'm not, I'm not.
- 40:10I'm not sinking this one yet. But no, I wouldn't.
- 40:12Either we're. Going to need something see
- 40:14something better you probably. Got to get closer to 30
- 40:16touchdowns I think for for a running back that's I mean you.
- 40:20You prorate that out. He's got 5 rushing 3.
- 40:23I mean, that's a 24 touchdown season.
- 40:25I mean, that's pretty impressive.
- 40:27But, you know, I'd like to see, you know, 500 yards at this
- 40:33point instead of like, what's that, 342?
- 40:35But, you know, when your defense is this bad and your offense is
- 40:39back out there so quickly because they're giving up points
- 40:41and bunches, I mean, who's going to get tired?
- 40:43You've got to have somebody else run the ball.
- 40:46He can't do it all the time. So.
- 40:48And their offense is actually playing.
- 40:51I'm sorry, CJ Carr, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
- 40:54You are not the problem. But yeah, the problem is, you
- 40:59know, if you play Jeremiah all the time, with as many times as
- 41:02the offense has to come back out on the field so quickly, yeah,
- 41:06it it hurts a little, but the defense can't possibly suck this
- 41:10bad forever, I hope. And then we'll get a little more
- 41:12to see and love. That's the whole care.
- 41:15Right. That's what I would expect to
- 41:16say. So we'll see how it plays out.
- 41:18I'm still waiting for people to a lot of it's exposure.
- 41:21They got to start talking about Marceau, Rita a little bit.
- 41:24They're not even mentioning them at all.
- 41:25Which. Well, you know what?
- 41:27He got A prime time game this week against an impressive
- 41:30Mississippi State team. So well.
- 41:32There you go. Yeah.
- 41:33The problem that Notre Dame game that they won, he his stats
- 41:36weren't like he was like, what, 19 of 39 or so?
- 41:39I mean, he wasn't, yeah. Just under 300 yards passing, he
- 41:43was close to 300 yards passing. Dude, you and I could throw for
- 41:48over 300 yards on Notre Dame's defense right now.
- 41:50They OK, they don't pressure anybody.
- 41:53They're secondary. I was done after Malachi.
- 41:56No, stop it, It sounded like. Me last year, so I am I'm.
- 42:00Going to start texting you all my Notre Dame gripes.
- 42:04Well, that's it. Let's move into this week there.
- 42:06Anyone do your pick first for tomorrow night?
- 42:09Well, you know what the the the bets that we have are actually
- 42:12the last two games on Friday night.
- 42:13So I'm just going to run through the four games leading up to our
- 42:17bets. Let's see if you guys have any
- 42:19thoughts on these and then we'll wrap it up with our bets.
- 42:20So tonight, if you are really a full blown degenerate, and God
- 42:25bless you if you are, you can watch.
- 42:28Speaking of Conference USA, oh and four, Sam Houston laying 2
- 42:331/2 on the road at two and two New Mexico State.
- 42:36I went back and forth on this game.
- 42:38I actually was going to bet New Mexico State.
- 42:41Apparently they're top defensive player Tyler Martinez,
- 42:43linebackers out for this game. And then I just kind of looked
- 42:47at it. Why is an OH and four team
- 42:49favored on the road? It just seems like Vegas is like
- 42:54please take New Mexico State. So when Sam Houston wins by 7,
- 42:58they make a lot of money. But these offenses both stink.
- 43:02These defenses both stink. I'll watch just because I have
- 43:07issues. No thoughts on this game at all.
- 43:10What about you guys? I'd rather have dental surgery
- 43:14than watch this thing. I I tried to look at it.
- 43:16I was like, you know what? I'm I'm out.
- 43:18This is bad football. I'm out.
- 43:20Match. The remote out the window.
- 43:22Exactly the good. Thing is, it starts at 9:00
- 43:25Eastern which is only like 15 minutes before my bedtime so you
- 43:28know I I won't watch more than maybe like the first 7 minutes
- 43:31but. I'm hoping.
- 43:33I almost feel like that's my. Goal, I hope.
- 43:35So yeah, I hope so. And hockey starts on Tuesday, so
- 43:38at least you got something else. All right, So then Friday we got
- 43:40A5 game slate. So the first game Friday,
- 43:42Charlotte on the road getting 28 1/2 points at South Florida.
- 43:48Any thoughts on this game, guys? Tim, we'll start with you like
- 43:50South. Florida, I like that bet the way
- 43:53they're playing. So yeah, I'd, I'd go South
- 43:55Florida if I had to, but I'm not going to.
- 43:58Yeah, I kicked. Around, I kicked around the
- 43:59under here, 55 1/2. I thought, yeah, it's pretty,
- 44:02pretty big number. I can see this thing staying
- 44:04under there. I can see a score like at, you
- 44:06know, 38 to 10 or something like that would not be surprising.
- 44:09So agree with what you just said to him.
- 44:11And yeah, I think the under was enticing.
- 44:13I actually had this rated at a four out of five confidence.
- 44:15So pretty well. I decided not to play it just
- 44:17because I really not interested in this game.
- 44:19But but that said, I think the Under probably isn't playing
- 44:23here. All right, the next game Friday
- 44:26night, Western Kentucky getting three points on the road at
- 44:30Delaware. The surprising Blue Hens
- 44:32ineligible for the conference title because the NCAA obviously
- 44:36is so smart with their rules and regulations.
- 44:38But Delaware 3 point home favorite over Western Kentucky.
- 44:42Pete, we'll start with you. What do you think?
- 44:43I think. There's going to be a lot of
- 44:45scoring. So over under 61 1/2, I'm not
- 44:48playing anything here, but this is another one where I, you
- 44:51know, I think it's just that number's a little big, you know,
- 44:53So I do expect a, you know, pass heavy game.
- 44:56I expect scoring, you know, so I expect this number to be high.
- 44:59So, you know, I was leaning over here just to me that number was
- 45:02high. And this year I've just not.
- 45:04It's been a really weird year with overs.
- 45:06I've been struggling with them and it's just watching teams try
- 45:09to chase the numbers. So I was like, you know, I'm
- 45:11going to stay away. But I still think the overs is
- 45:13potentially in play here. We'll see Friday.
- 45:18Night take the home team. I know that all too well.
- 45:23Not going to revisit it. You don't want to get me going.
- 45:25So, all right, well. Last week I gave out a couple of
- 45:29money line sprinkles on Auburn and Alabama.
- 45:30Alabama hit. Auburn did not.
- 45:33I I would recommend another one here on Western Kentucky.
- 45:36Give me fuel, give me fire. Give me Maverick, MacGyver,
- 45:38Western Kentucky's QB. Yeah, almost 1500 yards in four
- 45:43games this year. 11 TDs, 2 picks.
- 45:46We're going to see if the stage is too big for Delaware or not.
- 45:49But don't even give me the field goal.
- 45:51Just give me MacGyver. Oh, MacGyver.
- 45:54It's actually McIver. But yeah, I, I I would take West
- 45:58Kentucky. You want to take him with the
- 46:00three? That's cool.
- 46:01You want to take a little sprinkle on the money line?
- 46:03I'm I'm cool with that as well. Keep it going, keep going.
- 46:08'Cause this is mine. Yeah.
- 46:09So this one, Oh wait, no, we got one more for Friday night before
- 46:13we get into ours. New Mexico getting 2 1/2 at San
- 46:17Jose State. I'm gonna say San Jose State
- 46:21screw em. Take a New Mexico outright money
- 46:23line. I mean the points like it still
- 46:26San Jose State could kick a field goal of under 32 yards.
- 46:29I guys thoughts on that? Over under, 5858, 1/2.
- 46:36I think it's a big number. I like the under here.
- 46:38I'm not playing it, but I'm definitely leading under in this
- 46:41game. San Jose State is garbage.
- 46:42So yeah, they're touchdowns. Or nothing.
- 46:47That's it. So I I kind of like the under
- 46:49here, but I didn't play it. All right, so the Friday slate
- 46:52still has two games remaining. This is where all our bets come
- 46:54in. So I will go first cuz this is
- 46:56mine. I am taking San Diego State
- 46:59here, 2 units laying the six points at home against Colorado
- 47:03State. This is kind of a bet on San
- 47:08Diego State defensively, but this is more a fade of whatever
- 47:12it is Colorado State is trying to do Offensively.
- 47:15They benched Braden Fowler, Nicolosi, the guy they put into
- 47:18play last week, they were at home, I believe against
- 47:21Washington State. In 60 minutes of playing time,
- 47:23he led the team to three points. I'm not really sure what's going
- 47:28on with Colorado State, but offensively they just do not
- 47:30have it together and this is the wrong defense to try and get
- 47:33anything fixed. Jaden Denigal has actually
- 47:36played well for San Diego State. Nobody's going to confuse these
- 47:39guys with Oregon anytime soon. But I mean, this is a team that
- 47:44shut out Cal 34 to nothing. And yes, I know it's Cal, but
- 47:47it's still an ACC team. They should have way better
- 47:49athletes than what San Diego State's got going on San Diego
- 47:52State. Slack them.
- 47:53This defense only giving up 225 yards a game.
- 47:56The next closest Mountain West team is Hawaii at 300.
- 48:01I mean, they're the only Mountain West team allowing
- 48:03under 100 rush yards a game. They're the only Mountain West
- 48:05team allowing under 140 passing yards a game.
- 48:08I mean, this team right now defensively is is one of the
- 48:12best in the country that nobody is talking about.
- 48:14So the total is low. So that does worry me when I lay
- 48:17a touchdown with with a team like this.
- 48:20Defense is so, so good. And right now, Colorado State's
- 48:24offense is just like in turmoil. So lay the six someplace.
- 48:28It may be 6 1/2. I wouldn't go to seven if it
- 48:30goes there. But yeah, give me San Diego
- 48:34State baby minus the six. Beautiful.
- 48:38Any thoughts on that, Peter? Yeah, over under 40 and A.
- 48:40Half everything you said, I agree 100%, which is exactly why
- 48:43I mean, I'm leaning under exactly why I didn't bet it.
- 48:46So I figured it would come back and bite me in the backside,
- 48:48right. Somehow Colorado State will
- 48:50score 30 points or something ridiculous, which I don't think
- 48:52is even possible against. I don't know.
- 48:54I just I got worried about this thing like, you know what, I
- 48:57agree that what I, what I would expect to see is exactly what
- 49:01you said. I would expect the city of state
- 49:03defense to control this game. I'd expect him to win, probably
- 49:06something like, I don't know, 30 to 10 or something, but still
- 49:10too close to that over under total of 40 1/2.
- 49:13So I just tried to stay away from it.
- 49:14But I I agree with you all. Right Pete, the floor is ours
- 49:22now. So do you want your got your boy
- 49:25What? And West Virginia are going to
- 49:27play BYU? Yeah.
- 49:29Excited. We're going to see my boy in a
- 49:30couple weeks too. I'm excited for this.
- 49:32This is great. So yeah.
- 49:34So going to BYU over under 47 1/2.
- 49:38So BYU is obviously favored by a bunch.
- 49:41I think they're going to win by a bunch.
- 49:44I'm not would not be surprised by that at all.
- 49:47However, so I do like this under at 47 1/2, you know where
- 49:52they're playing. Obviously the altitude is going
- 49:54to create some issues which is going to which which is going to
- 49:58slow the offenses down, especially in the second-half
- 50:01with West Virginia. So I think that's going to be an
- 50:04issue for them. So I expect defenses to be
- 50:06playing, playing well here, particularly BYU.
- 50:10So I think West Virginia is going to have a real difficult
- 50:12time moving the ball consistently.
- 50:14It's going to be a problem for them.
- 50:15So so I think BYU is going to score a lot probably.
- 50:19I mean, I wouldn't be surprised of another, like that's again 30
- 50:22to 10 or something like that, or maybe even a little more on the
- 50:25BYU side. So not surprising, but still
- 50:28under. And I think pretty handily under
- 50:30that 47 1/2. So I feel pretty confident.
- 50:32I gave it a 4 1/2 out of five in terms of my confidence rating
- 50:35for this one. So one unit BYU under West
- 50:38Virginia, BYU under 47 1/2. OK, well, I went with BYU gave
- 50:4418 1/2 Your boys, his teams are sloppy.
- 50:48So they commit a lot of penalties.
- 50:50They turn the ball over a lot and it's been they're doing that
- 50:52this year. I'm expecting a couple turnovers
- 50:56from West Virginia and on 3rd down, they don't stay on the
- 51:02field that often. So I'm looking at it this way.
- 51:05Plus you got to travel going across going into the altitude,
- 51:09you know, the the turnover differentials, 8 in favor of BYU
- 51:14time of possession penalties, a lot of penalties with West
- 51:18Virginia and a lot of them seem to be procedural false starts,
- 51:22not getting set right, illegal formation and all that crap.
- 51:26Yeah, I like this one. I yeah to under.
- 51:30I don't think what we need to score is that much.
- 51:32Maybe final score would be, I don't know, like 35 to 3:35 to
- 51:397:00, something like that. But I like BYU big against West
- 51:45Virginia. Any thoughts boys?
- 51:50I agree with everything you both said.
- 51:54Actually just lost their quarterback.
- 51:55They already lost their running back and one of their wide
- 51:57receivers a few weeks ago. I think BYU actually looks
- 52:00better without Rett's laugh as their QB.
- 52:03I was close to what Pete had said.
- 52:05He said 30 to 10. I was thinking like 31 to 10 and
- 52:08that 10 coming like late in the fourth quarter when BYU was
- 52:11playing, you know, the hot dog Bender, the beer guy and the
- 52:14bandleader and eight other schmucks from the audience.
- 52:16I just, yeah, this is. But the good thing is I don't
- 52:19work this Saturday, so I'll be up watching.
- 52:22Well, the quarterback's name is Bear and he wears #47 which is
- 52:27awesome. Just putting that out there.
- 52:30That's after that's is. That.
- 52:32Bachmeier. Is that like Hank Bachmeier?
- 52:34I don't know. What the hell?
- 52:35I know it's bear. I don't bear.
- 52:36Well, that's his real name or not, I don't care.
- 52:38He's wears #47 I'm like, he had a quarterback with 47 on his
- 52:43jersey. That's awesome.
- 52:44I guess he right in the fields right here.
- 52:45Perfect ideally. Malachi Nelson should transfer
- 52:48to West Virginia and then we just have the biggest 2 cheeks
- 52:51combined to make. Can we get like a picture of
- 52:55like some bronze ass cheeks? So I can give it out every week
- 52:58on the show because I feel like Malachi Nelson deserves A bronze
- 53:01pair of ass cheeks. I will look into that for next
- 53:04week or for Saturday morning. We'll unveil it on the live
- 53:07stream. TuneIn thank you.
- 53:08Gravis Guy, 9:00 AM Saturday. You.
- 53:11See Darren and his bronze ass cheeks?
- 53:13It's going. To be awesome.
- 53:16Malachi must be like French for ass.
- 53:28OK, wrap it up, Darren. Let's go.
- 53:30Yeah. So all right, so again, we'll
- 53:32just do a quick recap of the bets.
- 53:33Timmy's got BYU laying 18 1/2 over West Virginia.
- 53:36Pete has the BYU West Virginia total under 47 1/2.
- 53:39I have a tune to play on San Diego State -6 join us Saturday
- 53:459 to 10 live show previewing our bets, going through the rapid
- 53:49fire segment. Bring your plays, bring your
- 53:51comments, bring your questions, bring your bronze ass cheeks.
- 53:54Bring it all. We'll see you Saturday morning.
