- 1:17Speaker 1: with the Ole miss Rebels or Mississippi State, Mississippi State.
- 1:21Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna go total wins. Let's talk a
- 1:24Speaker 1: little sports betting. It's not a Better day or afternoon
- 1:29Speaker 1: of college football or NFL Vegas style sports book inside
- 1:33Speaker 1: the Golden Moon, the Timeout Sports Lounge on the property
- 1:37Speaker 1: of Pearl River Resort. All right, let's go through MSU.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Okay, and just to let everybody know is when I'm
- 1:42Speaker 2: projecting these I'm using coach effect. Okay, what they have
- 1:47Speaker 2: done relative to their talent as a head coach over
- 1:51Speaker 2: their career, Okay, and that is relative to the guys
- 1:54Speaker 2: that they're facing as well, so, well, you know, like
- 1:56Speaker 2: a Pete Golding has no coach effect, so we're not
- 2:00Speaker 2: going to be able to profile or maybe exactly the same.
- 2:05Speaker 2: But the guys he's playing, like when he plays in
- 2:07Speaker 2: the Egg Bowl, he's going to be playing Jeff Levy,
- 2:10Speaker 2: who has a minus two point five to seven game
- 2:12Speaker 2: coach effect on his career. Okay, So but on with
- 2:19Speaker 2: with Mississippi State. So right now, the line I have,
- 2:22Speaker 2: the market line I have is four and a half.
- 2:24Speaker 2: We four and a half wins, Okay, And the numbers
- 2:28Speaker 2: say average coaching from twenty twenty five, this is a
- 2:34Speaker 2: five point four win season for Mississippi State. Say so,
- 2:37Speaker 2: so everybody listen to keep that in mind. Average head
- 2:39Speaker 2: coaching should be at five and a half wins. So
- 2:41Speaker 2: if if we get to six and six here at State,
- 2:45Speaker 2: that is above average coaching wins at six and six.
- 2:50Speaker 2: But because he is a negative coach effect for his career,
- 2:54Speaker 2: the projected the mathematical projection for him is four point
- 2:58Speaker 2: six wins. So the most likely outcome for Mississippi State
- 3:02Speaker 2: right now in the numbers, based on the schedule, the
- 3:05Speaker 2: coaches they're facing, and Jeff's first two years, most likely
- 3:09Speaker 2: twenty seven percent four and eight, twenty six percent five
- 3:13Speaker 2: and seven. And we talked about five and seven this
- 3:15Speaker 2: year is better than five and seven last year. Okay,
- 3:17Speaker 2: but we really.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I got him over the four point six. Okay, I
- 3:20Speaker 1: got him going five and seven.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You gotta go.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Okay, And there is a clear path to six and
- 3:25Speaker 1: six with the schedule that you pull.
- 3:27Speaker 2: There there is, and that is the third most likely
- 3:30Speaker 2: outcome for him at seventeen percent is six and six. Okay, Okay.
- 3:33Speaker 2: So you look at this kind of like a triangle.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Your top two projections are four and eight and five
- 3:38Speaker 2: and seven, and in that six and six, look in
- 3:42Speaker 2: that six and six. There has got to be there
- 3:45Speaker 2: probably has to be a signature winning there somewhere his
- 3:47Speaker 2: first big win.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't won an SEC home game, and he
- 3:52Speaker 1: has Vanderbilt, yep, well first Missouri, but he has Missouri.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and Auburn at home.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Right.
- 4:01Speaker 1: None of those teams are that good.
- 4:02Speaker 2: No, Vanderbilt lost their their best quarterback, right, the best
- 4:07Speaker 2: player of their probably existence, right, you know, And and
- 4:12Speaker 2: Auburn new offensive coordinator, new staff at home, and the
- 4:17Speaker 2: Missouri right, and the Missouri which is not a which
- 4:19Speaker 2: is you know, top twenty five recruiter, you know, I mean.
- 4:23Speaker 1: But they're not top ten.
- 4:24Speaker 2: No, No, it's a bottom half of the pack of
- 4:26Speaker 2: the Secay you're all at home, right, you got to
- 4:29Speaker 2: take advantage of the home schedule when when you're playing
- 4:33Speaker 2: teams like that. So yeah, in terms of the market line,
- 4:38Speaker 2: I'm not betting Mississippi State. You say you take the
- 4:41Speaker 2: over four and a half, that means four and eight
- 4:43Speaker 2: beat you. If I'm betting this, I'm willing I'll take
- 4:46Speaker 2: five and seven. Right, I bet one hundred on that. Yeah, okay, cool, now,
- 4:51Speaker 2: one one little nugget. Then.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I can't believe I just said I'd bet on Jeff Levy.
- 4:55Speaker 2: No, well anyway, right, and I and whether it's Jeff, I.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Do need to go get a Tito's bloody.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I don't like betting on minus coaches.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you said that, and you've stayed you said
- 5:04Speaker 1: that for years.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Right, don't bet on negative coaches because well they are negative, right,
- 5:09Speaker 2: they they've let you down. So even if he hits
- 5:12Speaker 2: five and seven and six and six, I don't see
- 5:14Speaker 2: it as a good bet. Now, I will say, if
- 5:18Speaker 2: you can buy it down, if you can get over
- 5:22Speaker 2: under four. And this is something I want to talk
- 5:25Speaker 2: to everybody about right now that's listening. Is that half
- 5:28Speaker 2: point that four and a half to four. Think about it.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Four and eight beat you at over four and a half.
- 5:34Speaker 2: If you're at four, maybe you're at minus one fifty
- 5:38Speaker 2: instead of minus one ten. But now he's got to
- 5:40Speaker 2: go three and nine to beat you. That's a big
- 5:45Speaker 2: difference for three nine.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Four and eight, no question.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Right. So if you're looking at these things, if you
- 5:49Speaker 2: have the opportunity, especially like on a draft Kings or
- 5:52Speaker 2: a fan duel, even maybe the time out lounge is
- 5:55Speaker 2: see if you can if there's moving numbers that you
- 5:58Speaker 2: can pay more for in the juice or to get
- 6:00Speaker 2: a better number to cover your head. Right, Okay, One
- 6:03Speaker 2: final nugget on Jeff the play caller.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Okay, the play caller.
- 6:08Speaker 2: And so I've asked the system to tell me what
- 6:12Speaker 2: are some tendencies of these guys.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:17Speaker 2: So Jeff is very very run heavy in certain situations, Okay,
- 6:24Speaker 2: and specifically when he's at the goal line less than
- 6:29Speaker 2: five yards any any down distance is first, second, third,
- 6:34Speaker 2: or fourth and goal less than five he runs it
- 6:36Speaker 2: seventy seven percent of the time, So third and short
- 6:41Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the time. Red zone first downs
- 6:45Speaker 2: he runs it seventy six percent of the time. So
- 6:49Speaker 2: he is very very run heavy in short yarded situations.
- 6:55Speaker 2: In one score game though it flips third and long,
- 6:59Speaker 2: third and seven, he ran it only nineteen percent of
- 7:03Speaker 2: the time. Converted none of them.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Oh wow, zero conversions.
- 7:07Speaker 2: He ran it twenty four percent of the time, and
- 7:11Speaker 2: on third and long over ten yards converted none of them.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So the rushing game outside of third and six totally
- 7:18Speaker 2: fell apart. Didn't work. Okay, but the past game, and
- 7:21Speaker 2: this is why I say, I'm not.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Sure how good Blake was Blake shaping for our listeners. Right,
- 7:26Speaker 1: third and seven, now, Blake Scott third and seven to
- 7:28Speaker 1: third and ten. He converted that throwing the ball only
- 7:32Speaker 1: thirty four percent of the time, good lord, And when
- 7:36Speaker 1: thirty four percent.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Right, and when you got him into third and long
- 7:39Speaker 2: in a close game, so third and eleven or more
- 7:42Speaker 2: shape and only converted eight percent of those throws. You
- 7:46Speaker 2: ain't eighter. You want to know why you go one
- 7:48Speaker 2: to fifteen, Try going eight percent on third and long
- 7:52Speaker 2: in the SEC in a tight ball game. Right, So
- 7:56Speaker 2: I think with Jeff, though, is from a predictability standpoint,
- 7:59Speaker 2: you want two in those in those short runs, those
- 8:04Speaker 2: short downs first, second, and third down, load the box
- 8:08Speaker 2: on them and try to force the pass. At least
- 8:12Speaker 2: that's based on twenty four and twenty five numbers.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Wow, did you hear Jackson?
- 8:21Speaker 2: All right?
- 8:24Speaker 1: Dave bar two on the Out of Bound show, he
- 8:26Speaker 1: loved the wood fired pizza. On a positive note as well,
- 8:29Speaker 1: he loved the wood fired pizza.
- 8:32Speaker 2: And on fourth down, fourth and three or more, he
- 8:34Speaker 2: is one hundred percent pass fourth and one or two.
- 8:38Speaker 2: He only passed at one time last year. So his
- 8:41Speaker 2: line in the sand. When it's fourth down, fourth and three,
- 8:44Speaker 2: pin your ears back. You know you play play the
- 8:46Speaker 2: pass fourth and one, fourth and two, load the box.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Only passed at one time last year. Okay, and maybe
- 8:53Speaker 2: because he didn't trust his quarterback.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Jeff Levy's numbers next coming up next all miss win total.
