  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. At your favorite time
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of week, you download the Crazy Sheet, you get your
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: buddies out, you get some cold to drink, and you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: get ready to talk about some college football. Mark. I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: here in the podcasting studio Scot's at home. Brother. We
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: are merely hours away from the start of a real
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: college football seasons. We record this on Wednesday morning. How
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the hell are you, man?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Man, I am great, just excited about the first weekend.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Boy.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: We had a great, great couple of games last weekend.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: What a great way to get the season started with
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech FSU. Obviously, the upset that I think we
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: felt like was all a pretty easy gift in the line.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I wasn't so sure Tech was gonna be able to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: close it down. But I'm not surprised either. I mean,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a team that was that big a dog surprised me none.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They won the game, they controlled the line of scrimmage.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Tech's gonna be better, which we all thought we both
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: thought they were gonna be. That was impressive. I just
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: want to say, and we can't forget this. I don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: care if it's portal or not portal. When you lose
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: that many first and second round guys like Florida State.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You don't just plug and play. I don't care how
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: good the athlete is. You're not going to replace Keon Kole.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You don't do it. I mean, that guy is a player.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And while they got talented wide receivers, they don't have
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a dude that could just dominate the way that guy
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: dominated against l s U and we.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Had Mitchell that well, yeah, no is a different team.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Different team, but I mean also on that defensive line.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean they lost some good players on that defensive line.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So it's it's just interesting to watch. It's very difficult
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to plug and play, even in the transfer portal and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: not see a little bit of change in in in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that plug and play. Dudes are dudes, and when you're
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a first round or second round or you're a dude,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and those guys just aren't growing on trees and it
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is a I think that was the glaring thing to me.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Uh and dj Ungla Layla, I just want to say,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: because that guy's gonna get pounded and been getting pounded.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Here's who he is as a quarterback. He's not a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: guy that will go win you the game. He to me,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: really is a game manager. He needs checkdown short throws,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he needs a team around him. Yeah, but he really
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: solid and he's inaccurate when he does. They had a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: crossing route that should have been a touchdown. It's a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: poorly thrown ball. I mean that should have been a touchdown.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And I mean the guy's running wide open, just slow.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He's got to go down to get it. It's just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: those are the differences in winning and losing football games.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And then SMU at night, Holy smokes, how to Nevada
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: blow that game? I mean, you drop a fair catch
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: kickoff at the one. I'm like, how bad can this go? Sideways?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: They give up a safety, there were ten with like
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: five minutes left and lost the ball game. So tough
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: loss for Nevada.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: At about midway second quarter, I just was a full
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: on Nevada fan because I bet on SMU in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: first half and I'm like, screw this. I'm like I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: am out. I was like, if you're not gonna cover
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna play like hell, They're just go and lose.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And I cheered for him and was so pissed that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they blew it. But two great games, two fun games
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to watch.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: when I selfishly realize I have no shot at winning
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: my bet, but I start cheering for the other team,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna hurt that team's feelings because I'm not,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you know, but I'm not for him anymore. So, No,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Florida State's interesting. I think if you haven't watched DJ Angle,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think we kind of bought into the fact that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he was back at Florida State. His game was gonna evolve.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He's really a game manager, and you're right, he needs
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: players around him. I think with that team being as
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: new as it was, didn't jail Well had some rain,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: had some travel if Florida State better get ready. Man.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They played Boston College Monday night. They're back at home.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But you got Thomas Castellanos, the Irish, the Irish black
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: fellow playing quarterback for them. And you've got Bill O'Brien
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is the offensive coordinator there. And you say what you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: want to about O'Brien, but he's a good oc I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: good play caller, head coach there. But then back that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up in two weeks and you've got Norbel's old team
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: coming in with Memphis is coming to town, and so yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I think Florida State is definitely not out of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: chance to win the ACC but they're gonna have to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: put their tin straps on this week. And I'm sure
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they had a painful week of practice, but it is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: what it is, brother, and you roll into this week,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and the one thing I will say with this week
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is the opening schedule. Two week zero is kind of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and then Thursday Friday is kind of a block schedule.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But man, we've got a full slate on Saturday and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of things I'm gonna say before we get started,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna cover a lot of games. These lines
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have been out for months and so if you think
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you're gonna sneak in and find an angle right here
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: at the last minute, I would be willing to bet
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you that most of them the lines have been beaten
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to death in different directions. So whatever your opinion is,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: stick with it, go from there. I would also recommend
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not going over the top because you don't have any
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: data on these teams, Like no one last week saw
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech's defense been our offense bible to come out
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and put that defensive line from Florida State on skates
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and just push them around, and so you don't have
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of data points on these teams. If you've
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: got some conviction, go for it. But I always recommend
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kind of tapering back what your unit sized in week
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: one or so until you get some better information. There'll
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be a lot of overreaction going into next week. We
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: got some big games on Saturday, which is fantastic. I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: excited about that, and just go have some fun with
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it because and then one thing I want to say
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: about this, and I want to bring this up now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to pound on it, but I'll
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: be really interested to see how the play or how
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the communication between the offensive coordinators, last head coach, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the quarterback goes with when it comes to the tempo
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of the game, I thought Georgia Tech played really slow.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I thought Haynes was very deliberate in what he was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: putting out there. I was on the under end that game,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and so I was fine with it. But I kind
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of wonder if we're going to see more of that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this season because it's still so new and in these
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: early week adjustments, what are we going to get because
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: they only have like a fifteen second window to talk,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and it may not start right when the play clock starts,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and so you've got to get that stuff in there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So that's that's something I would say keep an eye on,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: especially if you like Betton totals or you're looking at
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: these big numbers here, because with the running clock h
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and then you know, not stopping until the two minute warring,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: there's I think you're going to see a lot lower
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: totals here. And I think the numbers that that Vegas
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: is putting out kind of indicate.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That, Yeah, it certainly does. I mean, we have a
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: thirty nine and a half over under out there this week.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, what's awful early with no data to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: go under that?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: What about you? Do you want to look aheadline when
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: we get to the sie Hawk game next week where
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the over unders thirty seven and a half.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, we are we are already out there with it,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: aren't we. How do you like? How do you like that?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Thirty seven and a half for a Big ten, Big
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: twelve football game? Week two? Man, you gotta love it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You got Kirk Kirk Farretts calling him. I don't think
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he really cares about offense, to be honest with he
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: just wants to win games. And however he's gonna do it,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: He's gonna do it. Last week we're about five hundred
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and one and two, two and one. I'm not really
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: worried about last week because rolling it this week, it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: got a big slate of games. Brother, you're ready to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: get this thing rocket and rolling.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Man, I am ready.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Let's dive in Thursday night seven o'clock premium game that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you got there in North Carolina Minnesota line happens to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: be around two. Most books that you're seeing there kind
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of shaded North Carolina at minus one fifteen, and then
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the over under on this one seems to be about
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: fifteen and a half as the number we're seeing here.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not seeing any weather related to this. I have
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: read that we might get some injuries from this Minnesota team.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: A couple of things on how I like the latest
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: play with the under in this spot here, and I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: actually think North Carolina wins this game. But I like
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the under in this spot. I don't think Max Johnson
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: has got he's kind of got a pop gun arm.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't look for them to exploit a lot of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this Minnesota defense. And I think Minnesota is with new quarterback,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of new tools that are going to come
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in there. This is typically a run oriented offense. It's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: still going to be a run oriented offense. I don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: know how much explosion this team's got. From this standpoint,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I lean under at fifty and a half in that
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: first game that we've got there.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't agree more. I like the under as well.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You want to know what I'm expecting exactly what we
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: got in Minnesota Nebraska last year. I think they're coming
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: into this ball game. I think they're going to fight
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in a phone booth. I think there's a lot of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: new players on this North Carolina team. Again, like Max Johnson,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: not a shot at him. You're placing a first rounder.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You don't just plug and play. Even though I think
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he's a good quarterback. I obviously think he's got great
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: blood lines. But at the end of the day, this
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: North Carolina team is going on the road against a
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: team that is very physical, and I think that leads
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to a very low scoring game. I think we're going
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to be I think this is going to be a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: close game. There's no way that Minnesota's offense is going
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to be a little more productive than it was last year.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But I don't think not enough that I'm concerned about
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this game going over. I think I expect this to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: be very low scoring, very close, and I like the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: under in this game.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: A lot fifty and a half will be our official
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: play on that one is the under. I might wait
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and see if it creeps up a little bit. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it taken a lot of money. The game
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that actually is getting a lot of talk is the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: North Dakota State Colorado game. This is an interesting one
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to me. You got North Dakota State, who has been
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the darling of the FCS Division one DOUBLEA level for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: about the decade playing in the NATTY. This team is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a step back a little bit. They've lost several head
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: coat which is now that have moved on. They've got
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to They've always promoted from within, so they've got a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: little bit newer coaching staff there. I'm also reading that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they've got some injuries that they're going to be dealing
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: with that may or may not have leaked out to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: be announced. In this you get a lot of North
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Dakota State love as people wanting to put some money
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: down on them getting plus ten against the Colorado team
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and Prime has rapidly become more polarizing than Hillary Clinton.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He's kicking guys out of practice, He's kicking or he's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: kicking reporters out that can't ask questions because he doesn't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: want to be mean mouthed, you know, and all these
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. He's got pretty much his own media
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: team that follows him around to video tape these things.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Line here has been moving around. It's pretty much settled
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: between nine and ten. We'll just play it at ten
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: because that seems to be the consensus number in most places.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: You might be able to steal a nine and a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: half here shaded to the shaded to North Dakota State
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: getting the points here, I'm in Colorado, Colorado. To me,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you've got you've got two first round picks that are
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: going to be on the offense maybe, and then you've
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: got Horn in there, so have his Hunter Shear Sanders
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: are both going to go in the first round in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the NFL draft. And whether you're gonna put Travis Hunter
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on the offense side of the ball the defensive side.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Shear Sanders is rated as the top quarterback in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: country coming into this game. The problem Colorado had last
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: year really was in the trench and with depth, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they slowed the offense down as the season went on
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: when they brought in the new offensive coordinator. But if
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you go back and look at those first couple of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: weeks when they were healthy, this team was putting up
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: points in bunches. They did bring in a lot more
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: people in the portal in this spot. I get that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: because that's kind of how Prime's trying to do it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and fix the problem right now. But I think this
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: team healthy. Even though the people are talking bad, they
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: don't like them. Nobody wants to bet Colorado. We didn't
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: want to bet Colorado last year, and this team came
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: out of the gates strong. I think you're kind of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: getting the same thing here. They've got a big game
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: down the road in Colorado State before they bed Nebraska,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: but I think they come out, take care of business
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: here and lay it to Northchapota State. I don't think
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they've got the athletes to hang around in this.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Game, that's the deal. I don't think they got the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: apple pleads to play with. Who the hell's going to
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: cover Hunter? And whoever's Hunter Hunters covering? Ain't getting open
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: but for that matter, when I think Sanders is going
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to be back there, there's so much speed, so much,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: so much more speed on this team that it does
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: question me. I will also tell you on the offensive end,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: le Jonte Western coming over from FAU his first team
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: All AAC, last year man, that's a third wide out
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: on this team. The key for this offense is going
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to be Jordan Seaton, the freshman incoming left tackle. How
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: does he play? How does he lockdown? I think they're
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: counting on He's the number one high school offensive offensive
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: tackle in the country coming in. They got to have
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that guy settle in and do a nice job. I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: agree with you. I think this team is just too talented.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: There is a different talent level from talent at fcs
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and FBS, and there's a there's a difference, and whether
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you want to say one Division one under Division one,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: double up, there's a difference. And those dudes ain't seen
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. That dude's a dude among dudes. I mean,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: he's one of those guys that just stands out. You know.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: When I was in school, it was Eric Molds at
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State and Walt Harris at Mississippi State, those guys
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: were dudes among dudes. Well that showed the NFL too,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you know, And they just air different skill sets and
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: it just is what it is. And I just I
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: just think they're going to have all kinds of problems.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Think this number is way too low. I think people
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: are selling on Dion, you know, I think they see
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: some of it. Look, there are red flags all over
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this program. I think people are overstating in DSU because
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of what they've done against. But they're going and playing
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: k State and giving them all they want. It's different
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: than going and playing a bunch of athletic KY State
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: ain't got any athletes like Travis Hunter. I mean they don't.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: They don't have any like Sheredar Sanders. Man. I watched
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Xanders scramble around and run. That guy's such a great athlete.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: The worst thing that can happen to NDSU is him
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: get in the open field. I mean, he's going to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: be so much more faster and more talented than the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: bulk of those guys. I just I agree with you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I think I ain't Colorado's gonna pound these guys. I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: don't think, just liest nearly enough.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The predictions that I've read a lot of people that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: are on in Northdakota State really think Northakota State is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: just physically going to be able to dominate the trench,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and I just don't see it. I think there is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a big gap between FCS and FBS. And let's keep
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in mind too, this is the healthiest Colorado is going
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to be all season long, and it wasn't until last
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: year when they got banged up that you started seeing
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: him really fade. And so I anticipate this team to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: play good. They're going to be at home. They played
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: well at home last year. They're going to be off
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to a hot start. Colorado. Give it to me minus ten.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Only other big game we got Thursday night Jacksonville State,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the rich ride as kick and chickens the host Coastal Carolina.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They got this game at Jacksonville State. I lean under
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: in this spot and lean Jacksonville State. Haven't made a play.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I don't really like Coastal Carolina knew back to his
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: new coach and then losing Grayson McCall that I would
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: lean Jacksonville State in the under, but I don't have
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to play there.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this will this will be a small play for me,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: but certainly not a play for the podcast, but I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: kind of like Jacksonville State lay in the two naficiss
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: light rich Rod at home. Uh this team was significantly
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: better than people thought, you know, so, and look, I'm
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: cheering for rich Rod. That guy's career got so wonky
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: at Michigan. I mean that that guy had the Alabama job.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I mean people forget that. I mean the job he
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: did at West Virginia was so good. He was such
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a great coordinator at Clemson and just got out in
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the weeds and it just got away from him. Uh
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of I'm kind of cheering for the guy,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you know, to kind of go out at a team
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: like this. I think Jacksonville State's completely behind him, So
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I like them in this game. I agree with you.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: It's more of a cell on Coastal Carolina.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Got a few games Friday night too, not a bad slate,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: starting at six Welling all the way to the late
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: game out there when the Frogs play the trees. But
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the one I'm gonna start with is the Western Michigan
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin game. Western Michigan, this line's been as high as
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: twenty four and a half. Wisconsin going to be opening
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: up at Camp Randall. Obviously you've got Tyler Vandyke coming
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in as the quarterback. This is year two in Luke
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Fickle regime, and also with the Phil Longo offensive banging around,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: banging around, banging around and put this, you know, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: try to chuck the rock but run the vault. At
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the same time, Western Michigan is one of the teams
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: we were higher on the back. I've got a couple
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of stats for me, brother, you're my MAC player. How
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: are we going to roll this one out?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I like Western Kentucky, I mean Western Michigan plus twenty three.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I think there's a couple of things and I know
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: where you're gonna go because you and I have talked,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: did talk about this briefly this week. Fillko ha haven't
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: been good in these big lines so so so we'll
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: get to that. I don't want to steal that from you,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But I just think this Western team, they got a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: chance to win the MAC. And this is a team
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that was not very good last year. There's no way
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Whiskey watching film that these kids are fired up about
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: this ballgame and and they're just gonna come out and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: it's gonna kind of just be a handle their business.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: They got South Dakota next week and then Alabama. This
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: is let's go get our work done, let's be pedestrian,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: let's not show too much. And I think Western is
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: gonna get get a chance to get a cover in
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: this game. I am fascinated to see how Van Dyke
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: does too, because this is a quarterback. That year one
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: looked like this guy's gonna be an All American by
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the time he leaves by me, and then he was
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: brutal the next two years, and so what are we
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: really getting. That's what I'm fascinated to see, is what
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: do we get from the quarterbacks bot That is another
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: reason I like this. I like this line. I like
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Western just because I think they're a better teams a
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: couple of the.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Games on Yeah, yeah, I agree with you the stature
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: talking about their Luke Fickle lines that are twenty four
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: twenty four points is six and twelve and it's the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: number has not covered in the last seven in that spot.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: You know, he didn't do that even at Sensing, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that was where he really needed to blow teams out
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: so he could try to get into the College Football
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Playoff and didn't really do it. I think the guy
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: he's he very much wants to get a lead, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: then in team games he can win. If he can
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: control the tempo of the game and control the you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the flow, then that's what they want to do. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see. But twenty four, it's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot. You know, you're gonna need four
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: touchdowns to get you that number. I like Western Michigan. Baby,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: let's get it rolling. A couple other games we got
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Friday night of Michigan State Florida Atlantic. This one will
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: be the Jonathan Smith home opener with Childs. I thought Childs,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the quarterback for Michigan State, was interest coming out and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: telling the reporters to take the over in their games
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: this year because they're gonna put some points up this
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic game. I like Michigan State here. I think
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: they could come out and really fucking lay a hammer
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: down on Florida Atlantic. I don't like this Florida Atlantic roster.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of turnover here, though. I do like
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Tom Herman. I think I just I think Michigan State
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: just kind of comes out here and crushes these guys
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the game. I've got interest in though, and I'll let
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you come back to these Oklahoma Temple. I kind of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like the team total under in Temple. I'm guessing if
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I can get something over fourteen and a half, I'll
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: probably get involved, which I should be able to find that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma's defense is going to be their best
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: unit this season. I really really do. I think this
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is your three withinables coming in. I think the defense
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: has improved. They've got a couple of all Americans on
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this team. Temple's going to be really bad, and I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: could see Oklahoma just taking care of business, not landing
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: egg here, and just defensively being very very buttoned up,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and then from an offensive perspective, getting a little lead
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: out and then just taking the air out of the ball.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I don't see any reason why they need to hang
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a double nickel up and so I see a lot
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of ground game in the second half of this one.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I do think the defense
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: is gonna be really good. I think Temple sucks. That's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: the main reason that I can get on board with this.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: We don't have a team number yet, so we can't
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: make it an official play, but not this not a
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: bad bet to look at for Saturday at all, because
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think this Oklahoma defense is better.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: It's a hidden part of this of this roster, and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: so I agree with you. Combine that I think Temple's terrible,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and I think it's a pretty good bet.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything on TCU Stanford. I lean over,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: but I really want to see this offense perform from TCU.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They've got a lot of new pieces on this team.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Stamford year got a little bit better as the season
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: went on, but plus ten again, I'm gonna pass. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: lean to the over, but I don't have a play.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna put. Yeah, I'm gonna pass. I'm gonna
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: pass on this too. I'm interested to see Stanford because
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: my my research tells me they are gonna be a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: little better. But I'm fascinated to find out what what
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: are we really gonna get out of DCU. You gotta
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: have a bounce back, I would think, and I think
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: y're two under. The offensive coordinator's gonna make a big
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: gonna make a big difference too.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Saturday, let's get this thing kicked off in Rolling. We
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: got an acc SEC game lined up. Virginia Tech will
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: be traveling to nash Vegas, Virginia Tech's laying thirteen points
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: over under here is forty eight and a half. Or
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt bringing in Jery Kill bringing in Dale Pavia bringing
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in another player for that New Mexico State team got
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a handful of transfers at Bandy. I'd love to see
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: how many credit hours for New Mexico State transfer into
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a Vanderbilt curriculum, but I don't guess that's probably their
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: biggest concern when they're building out a roster. I like
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this Virginia Tech team. I think they're gonna be much improved.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And brother, I'm gonna lay the wood because I think
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Hokies are going to come and just absolutely physically
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: dominate this vander team.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to absolutely dominate him. I couldn't
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: agree when one of my favorite lines of the week
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: is this line. I think they pound these shit out
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: of Bandy. Look. I love Jerry Keel. Think he's a
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: good football coach. I think he brings a positive influence
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to anything he's around. H Look, the job he did
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: at Mexico State was just phenomenal. I mean impossible to say.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I think probably is a pretty good, pretty good little player,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: not sec ACC he had. I mean, that's a deal.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It's not like he's getting dropped into a great roster.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I think. I think Virginia Tech. I said it in
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the ACC pre game. They got a chance to win
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: that league. This is a good football team. They're a
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: potential playoff team. They're gonna beat the shit out of
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Andy Saturday.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I would have completely agreed. Game. The other game we've
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: got at eleven o'clock that I think is a fascinating
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: game is a rematch from last year Penn State in
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Penn State traveling down to Morgantown to play
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: this game. You know these teams aren't that far apart
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: right there. They recruit the same kids from the Pennsylvania
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the area. West Virginia overperformed last year. Both you and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I went into the season thinking Neil Brown would get fired.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: This team pulled a rabbit out of a hat game
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: after game after game to get this thing rolling. Penn
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: State is you put it as the most men ten
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and two team in the country. It seems like that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: every year. Last year I really thought they'd be more
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: explosive with Dreilers coming in at quarterback, but they didn't
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: ever really get it rolling. They do have a new
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator this year. Line's eight seems light to me,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but I'm not involved yet.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: All right, here's my thing on this ball game, and
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you and I talked about this as we were going
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: through the board today. Literally, can you see West Virginia winning?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I can't. I don't pencil. They ought to fire James
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Franklin on the spot if he loses his football game,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: if you reverse coaching staffs, because I really am a
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Neil Brown fan, I do, and I think West Virginia
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: is an extremely hard selling recruiting I mean a really
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: hard sell, and so I think that's a very, very
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: tough job. This is not nineteen fifty. I mean it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is a tough sell, and I think he does a
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: great job. You change coaching staffs, but leave the roster's
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the same. West Virginia is a two touchdown favorite, easy,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and I just I mean Penn State's a two touchdown favorite. Easy.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I just am Franklin is good of a job as
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: he did at Vandy. It has just been that mad
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: at Penn State, and it's just it's mad. But at
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, I think they are another
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: potential playoff team. Just what I said about West Virginia
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: is not I don't see how in the world they
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: don't win this ball game. And when you start saying, yeah,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: line's eight home team, that's a lot of points against
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: team at won seven gamesh you got a chance to win. Nope,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you don't consider money line. No, give me Penn State.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Totally. Because I looked at that and I was like,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that's a touchdown. Man. It's like, that's not even a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: big number. And so I just I totally agree with you.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Other next game I got Saturday, I'm fascinated with Florida
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in Miami. This is a game. We don't see this
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: game as often as we see Florida State and play
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Florida and Florida State play Miami. Line here is two
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and a half. Over under on this game is fifty
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: three and a half. Let me give you what my
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: thoughts are. And this to me is interesting Florida. Nobody
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: has faith in Florida. They talking of Sunbelt Billy teams underperform.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: They're over under. Win total in Vegas is four and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a half at a couple of places, and I know
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: their schedules. Tough Miami in a lot of places is
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: picked as the favorite to win the ACC. I mean,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: they're right there one and two and the lines two
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: and a half, and they're playing at the Swamp and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: so you can't tell me there's that much talent differential
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: in the rosters between Miami and Florida at this point.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Plus you've got Mario Cristobal coach at Miami, which I'll
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: go down and tell you he is as bad of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a game day coach as I've ever seen, with as
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: much talent as he's had. Between Oregon and Miami in
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: these spots, it's you don't even have to look hard
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to find information on that. You got a Florida team
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: here that no one has any faith in that can
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: get this done. They've got Graham Mertz, who I thought
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Graham Mertz was much better at Florida than he was
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: at Wisconsin, and the stats back that up. Miami's coming
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: in here. You've got a new quarterback and cam Ward
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: who's coming after the Pac twelve after an incarnate word.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: You've got a couple of other transfers that play key
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: elements here. If it's me and I'm laying it, I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: probably gonna go under fifty three and a half. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be balls ass hot in Gainesville, Zap.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: These kids down will be their first time to get
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: playing at game speed. But I also like Florida. The
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: money line in Florida plus two, and I think Florida
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: wins the game.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I agree with you. I think
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Florida's gonna win the game. This is the best game
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to watch to me from a multitude, Both these coaches
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and both these teams have to win this game. You're
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: to win this game, and that never happens Week one.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I don't mean for playoff, I mean for fan base,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: your team to meet expectation. If Florida's gonna overachieve, they
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: gotta win their home games. And got seven home games,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: rarely happens because of playing Georgia neutral field every year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: If they're gonna get to a ball game, they gotta
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: win home games. This is a game they gotta win.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: It's early, and you got a lot of new players
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: at Miami. As you said, look, Florida's a much more
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: talented team than they were last year, and they're much
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: more experienced team than they were. And I talked about
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: that in our sec preview. Man, I think this game
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: is going to be so much fun to watch because
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna lay it out there. They're gonna
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: go all out. I agree with you. I think under
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: maybe the best play because I think the defenses may
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: be pretty good in this ball game. But if i'm
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: betting it, I'm betting on I'm betting on Florida. I'll
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: take the points there. This could be an absolute barn
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: last second field goal, that kind of ball game. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a great game. And look if
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Miami comes out and wins the ball game and wins
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: it convincingly or Florida comes out and wins it convincingly, boy,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be some hot water waiting on the coach
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that's got to go to the Monday press conference on
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the losing end of that game. They both need this
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: to be a close ball game. I ain't. It's gonna
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: be so much fun to watch.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go Florida the ender. We'll make that an official
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: play and get that in there. I like it. Next
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: game's gout of you in that same time slot, I'll
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: have it on the side side TV. I don't know
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I'm gonna circle on Saturday. I'll
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: probably be standing over the top of the crapstable watching
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: this game. You tiping Nebraska playing, I am leaning. I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: playing the bread. I'll play them at minus twenty seven
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and a half. If it gets over twenty eight, I'm
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: not going to touch it. Haven't played it yet, so
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I have to get that beat in. But here's here's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: why I like this team. Matt Ruhle did a really
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: good job he building the culture of what he's got
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: into Nebraska. I don't like the fact that we're starting
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a freshman quarterback, but this dude seems electrics and so
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to watching him play. But UTUEF
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: has got an entirely new coaching staff that got new players,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and then the coach came out and this week and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: made the comment they're going to go fast. They want
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: to try to snap the ball every fifteen to twenty seconds.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: That does not bode well to me when you're about
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to match up against the physical team on their home
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: field that you're not going to try to take some
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: air out of the ball. I think Nebraska could have
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some explosive plays in there. I think they're going to
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: want to get a lot of reps for Dilan Riola
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: because they do have some games on deck. This is
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a Big ten team. Let's get him some reps against
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a live off, live defense and go from there. Twenty
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: seven and a half, I'm laying it with the corn Baby.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: You got Colorado on deck too. I agree with you.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's one of the worst teams in college
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: football in utub I agree with you. I thinky Nebraska
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: is gonna win this game. Think they're gonna win and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Handley the only question is the freshman quarterback. But I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: think they're just physically gonna be more skilled. And I mean,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: this is one of the best head coaches in college football.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's hard to I think it's next to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: impossible to argue that with the job he did at
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Temple and at Baylor, in the situation he inherited at
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: both spots, and the way he turned those jobs around,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's impossible to argue that he's not a
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: great football coach. Uh think the end. Look, I don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: even think he was doing that bad at the job
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of Carolina either. That's a whole different story. But anyway,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I think he's a really good football coach. So I
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: like Matt Rule. I like them. They got Colorado on deck,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: so you do need to get Riola some reps. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: think he plays a lot longer, which again I think
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: helps them cover this number.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Next one, Scotty saving that two thirty slide. Texas at
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: home in Austin against Colorado State. Line here is crept
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: down a little bits at thirty two. How are you
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: leaning here?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I like Colorado State plus thirty two. Look, we're gonna
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: go back. This is a similar deal. Texas as good
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: as they were last year, only covered a big number
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: like this one time. I was against Texas Tech against
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year last year, and I'm
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: going back to the Rice game because I think Colorado
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: State's gonna be a much better football team. We talked
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: about this on the Mountain West Preview. I think this
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: is a much better football team. Are they gonna win
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: be close to winning this game? No? Hell no. That
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: shocked me just unmarkedly. Do I think we got back
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: door cover? Or more importantly, Texas with a big game
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: waiting on deck, not trying to get injuries, gets a
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: lead and they're just kind of mad like they were
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: against Rice last year. It's a big number, so I
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: like it. I think a very similar number to what
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: they had with Rice last year that didn't cover, and
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: so I like Colorado State to go down there and
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: cover is. Texas is just kind of going, eh, let's
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: see a.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Couple of things too. I like about this. Texas has
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: lost the two top running backs are out for the season,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and so you've got some new guys. You're gonna get some,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna you want to get them some reps
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: on the ground game. I wouldn't be surprised if we
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: don't see arch Manning in this game. He hasn't gotten
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of game reps because we had Elie
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Murphy last year that would kind of come in in
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that spot. Texas defensive lines getting replaced now, I know
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the guys. They've got inner some dudes, but they sent
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: those guys to the NFL, so it'll be their first
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: time getting a lot of reps. And Colorado State, to me,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: was a team that I thought was much better than
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the record alluded to last season. I look for this
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: team to have a couple of explosive plays early in
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the game. I won't be surprised at all. And so
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: give me Colorado State plus thirty two. Baby, I'm excited
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: about that one. Boise State Georgia Southern. I got no
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: official play here, but man, I kind of lean Georgia
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Southern in this spot getting me some of the fighting
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Clay Hiltons.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no official spot here. I agree with you,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: this feels like, especially after that Nebraska game last year,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Helton has done a pretty good job in a couple
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: of big games at Georgia Southern, this just looks like
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: a big number. Uh and and and again, Boisey, what
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: are what are? How much are they going to try
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: to run it up? You know what? When do we
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: get the dogs called off? This is a road game,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: This is a long flight. A lot of positivity for
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a really really big number, even though I think the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: boise roster is much better than Georgia southerns But I
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: mentioned this again. I like Georgia Southern's running back and
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I think this might be a team that can keep
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: this this game much closer than the experts think. So
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. Not an official play, but I
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: got give you some Georgia Southern a look and see
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: what you think about it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be hot too, because they're playing this game
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: into b and Uh you're looking at ninety that feels
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: like tempers can do. I mean it's hot in in
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Boise as well.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: But it's dry, it's drive. It's different than that human
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: of South Georgia.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be hot. Just letting putting it out
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: there so you could see a little backdoor action North
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Texas traveling to South Alabama. Uh, North Texas, you're two
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the Eric Morris campaign being over here, Fly Eagles, Fly
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Baby South Alabama, and the major Apple White experiments starting
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: all over again. South Alabama team starting over with a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: whole new coaching staff bringing us in. I'm not a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: giant Apple White fan. I wish I could have gotten
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: this team at seven. It's down to five. I like
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: North Texas. Not sure if I'm gonna make it a
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: straight play or not, but most likely, but I really
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: like it for our money line underdog parlay. We're gonna
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: be putting together here in a little bit.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I won't say that I'm gonna save my
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: my talk on this for the four. I guess everybody
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: knows that I'm leaning that I think they're gonna win
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: this game straight up. So that tells you what I
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: think about the line.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: What about Old Domino in South Carolina?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: You know what one?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I think Old Domino is gonna be fucking terrible.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be good either. I got
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit of love for South Carolina on this spot.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I think Carolina may be better than people that they
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of people. This will be a watch
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of action for me, but not
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: very much. Certainly not an official play for us on
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: this but I've got some love for South Carolina.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: The only reason I'm not totally jumping into this game
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: is South Carolina's actually got I mean, they played Kentucky
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: next week and then they've got LSU, and so I
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: kind of wonder if they get out a little bit,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: do they slow things down and maybe leave that back
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: door open for Old Dominion to sneak into. But man,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Old Dominion not good, not good. I think this is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Ricky Rannie's last last game here, rolling on down the board, Scott,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead and tell me who's gonna win. What's the score.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: How's it gonna roll out? Mississippi State, Eastern Kentucky. I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: don't know the Eastern Kentucky mascot. By the way, do
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I do not, But I will tell you this, I
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: am not sold on the Bulldogs in any way, shape, form,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: or fashion. When I hear that our defense is winning
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: in scrimmages, that's a bad sign. I just don't think
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: they cover this number. I think that I think State's
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: gonna have struggles. There's so many new guys. They need
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: to get game reps practice speeds and not same as
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: game speed. Eastern Kentucky's actually not a bad football team.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So I do not have a lot of love for
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: the Bulldogs, but that will not be an official play
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: for us either. But appreciate you blinging up the Bulldogs
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: this week, even though it's going to be a struggle.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, brother, Let's go back into guy real quick, Halai UCLA.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: This line, actually, this line's been wild. This line opened
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: at seventeen or eighteen with numbers first hit kind of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: floated around there for a bit. Sean Foster's Prescot Effarts
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: came out at Big ten media Days, and this line
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: immediately went to twelve and it sat there for a while.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Hawaii's got some suspensions. Stephen McBride, the best receiver isn't
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: going to play. I went back and watched the Hawaii
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: game last week. They're not a very good football team
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: UCLA coming across the island. They've got tape on Hawaii.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I know Hawaii didn't show anything. I'm gonna lay fourteen
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: with UCLA in this spot. Wish I was laid it
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: when it was twelve and a half. But I think
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: UCLA is just going to physically come out and dominate
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the trench against Hawaii. And I don't know that Hawaii's
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: got the explosive plays enough to get this done. I
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: haven't looked to see if the wind's gonna be blown.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Last week, the wind was crazy because they were on
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the backside of that hurricane that was out in the ocean,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and so I'll look at that as well. But I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: like UCLA laying fourteen here.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Man. I just I'm sorry. I can't put on Shan Foster.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not touching this game. Even though Hawaii looked awful.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, hell, they almost lost that game. Oh, I
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: mean and one of one of the worst teams in
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: one double A. I mean that was who couldn't couldn't
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: fly out there as a team, just a total debacle. Yeah,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the weather was bad, but man, that was But I'm
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: out on to Sean Foster if you're gonna bet it, though,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know how in the worlds you don't bet
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: u CLA. I mean, Vandy went out and thrittled these
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: guys a couple of years ago. How in the world
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: does how in the world does UCLA not win by
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: fourteen or more?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame traveling to Kyle Fields Saturday evening in the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Marquis spot that you've got here, This line's been moving.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: It was released out by our buddy the tailgate Tent
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and a couple of others. It popped it all the
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: way up to Texas A and M minus three after
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: it floated around one over under. Here about forty six
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and a half is where you're seeing it settle in
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the marketplace. This is an interesting game. You got Mike
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Elko coming into his Texas A and M coaching debut.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: On the flip side of that, you've got Riley Leonard
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: was a quarterback at Duke last year for him is
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: now at Notre Dame. In this spot, Marcus Freeman, the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: coach at Notre Dame. I think he's pretty close to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: either getting this thing done or he's going to start
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: catching some heat if he's the right guy for this job.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: They're starting five offensive linemen that are sophomores or freshmen.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: They're left tackles a true freshman at Notre Dame that
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: they've got Texas A and M. On the flip side,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they had a lot of turnover in the portal. Interestingly enough,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: if you go look at the comparison of talent loss
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and talent game, they're not that far off from what
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: they had there. And I think with Elco being in there,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. But I lean on Texas
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: A and M's defensive front. But I also think we've
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: got a grown up coaching A and M at this point,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and I am really interested to see a healthy A
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and M team with Connor Wegman playing quarterback if this
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: team can exploit Notre Dame. Because if Notre Dame wins
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: this game, I think you've got a bet on them,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: at least in a hedge position to win the National Championship.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Reason being is the rest of their schedule is not
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: very hard. I mean, they'll be eight to oh if
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: they win this game, continuance on through there and This
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: is a giant game for A and M. I don't
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: think A and M can win the but it'll be
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a great statement game when you can pull this win off,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: and you've got a Notre Dame team that could end
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: up being ten and two or eleven and one when
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the season's over. If I'm playing it, which I have
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: it yet, I would lean under you got to play here.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the under. I think the look, I
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: think the best part of this team. As you said,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: while I love Riley Leonard, there's two things about it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the young offensive line, got a new got
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a new starter at running back. But the defense looks
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: really good for Notre Dame. But also, let's not forget
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Elko coach. Leonard, Yeah, he knows better than anybody what
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: he can do and how to take that away. This
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: is a defensive football coach, and Mike Elko who's playing
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: as former quarterback, who knows what his weaknesses are and
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: knows more importantly, what his strengths are. Man, I think
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: that sets up great for the for A and M
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: to be able to slow them down. Kyle fee Is
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: is a loud place to play. Uh So, I think
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be A High. I think it's gonna be
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: a hopping environment. Uh for A and M when they
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: get in there, it's gonna be tougher Notre Dame. But
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame's best strength is their defense. Uh. I really
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: think this. I think this is gonna be a close
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: football game, a much much like the the the Miami
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: in Florida game. I think this is a must win
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: for both of these teams. I will say this on Freeman,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: that guy has upgraded. They're recruiting so much. They are
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: so talented and so young. If you are getting ready
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to pull you plug, you're getting ready to pull the
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: plug on this guy, then you're one of the dumbest
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: people in the room. He is upgrading the talent at
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the to where they're gonna be on a national level,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: on a talent you're gonna find out in two years
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: if he's your guy or not. But you gotta be
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: patient with the job he's doing. The talent is so
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: good and so young. In this program, it is gonna
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: be fun. It's gonna be fun to watch. But I
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: will tell you he's and some guys he's had committed
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: in this current class, and that can change all of
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: that so I think it's a fight in the phone booth.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's look I like Connor Wegman. I think
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: this is a very very talented Texas A and M team.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Still I lean towards A and M winning this ball
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: game as well, but I think the under is probably
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: the right play. Forty six and a half.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: How much distraction do you think is going on at
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Michigan's line now? Is actually going from over twenty one
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: and a half down to twenty and a half at
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: most books that you've got there With Prisono State coming in,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you think true Moore in the Michigan Litleverines have any
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: interest in trying to cover this game. And you've got
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a big game on debt next week with Texas Presno
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: State coming in here with the interim coach, I think,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Temper is still part of the
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: program or not, to be honest with you, but this
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Presdo State team's not bad. I think they will contend
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: for the Mountain West championship. We talked about that. Getting
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: twenty and a half points, that's a big back door
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to leave open.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious twenty one on my book, man, I'm
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: telling you right now now, I think this is a
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: close ballgame. I think Michigan's got problems. Man, that I understand.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You can lay on me NC. You know they're talking
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: about making them vacate that title. I mean it is
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: hot mess. I mean hot mess express in Ann Arbor
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: and Sharon Moore has got his fingers knee deep in
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: this deal. And I have not watched the Connor Stallion's deal.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: How about I can't remember he went full Bill Clinton
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: on us. Just if he would have dropped, it depends
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: on what your definition of is is. I would have
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: just he would have just gone, hands down. This guy's
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: the greatest ever. Kudos to him for trying to act
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: like I don't remember if I was at the ballgame. Well,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I remember what games I was at thirty years ago,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: forty years ago. Are you kidding me? I remember the
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State Alabama game in nineteen eighty like it was yesterday.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I was eight. Mean, you gotta be kidding me that
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: this is what this guy drops. I can't remember if
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I was there or not. Fabulous come back, I think
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: that's I think the programmed a lot of heat, and
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I think they got a lot of place, a lot
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: of people to replace on offense. Well, I think his
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: defense is gonna be nasty. I questioned the offense. Everybody
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: just assumes they're gonna be able to come in just
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: road grade this ball game. Vegas doesn't think so, because
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the talent on these rosters is more than twenty one
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: and so I think Vegas is seeing some of this.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I like Fresno to cover this. It will have some
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: pizza money from me, for sure.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Get you a little Fresno baby. A couple of games
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that no one's gonna watch unless you're alumni, but I'm
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: gonna point these out. I think Kentucky woodsheds Southern Miss.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I had Southern Miss is bad. I like their coach,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: but this is he's done. This is a death march
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: at this spot. And then I think James Madison, I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: like them laying eight and a half against the sharp team.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Bill Pogey or whatever his name is, the coach Charlotte.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: This Charlotte roster is not very good. I think this
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: James Madison team's actually still pretty good. I took them
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: to play in the Fundo Championship there, so I would
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: lay half with this team and I would lay it
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: with Kentucky. I think Kentucky physically gets it done. I'm
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: also interested in seeing Brock vander Griff playing quarterback for
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: these guys. See if they go down fit a little bit.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I have no idea how so the Mississippi is gonna
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: score on the team.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagrebe. I think Kentucky's gonna be good.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be good. I really do. I am.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I think last year at Devin Leary, it just didn't work.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: At Kentucky, I thought that team was a little better
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: than their record was. I think they bounced back this year.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: That was a great addition for them. I agree with
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: you on on James Madison. I just think they got
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: a little too much talent for this UNCC team. I'll
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: give you one more kind of off of grid Jah
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Tech coming home. You don't want to overthink it, but man,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I think Georgia State's a mess. The coach leave and late,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: you know, Sean Ala bailing on him in the spring
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: to go to South Carolina and and and they had
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: some late transfers when that happened. I think that I
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: think this program's a mess. And look, let me tell
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: you some offensive line and road grader travels. You lined
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: up and you physically pound the shit out of people,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: and that travels, and and and what I mean by
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: travel is this is kind of like a road game,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: even though they're coming home, because they're coming home from
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: overseas and playing in short. Remember FSU gets two extra
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: days that Georgia Tech's not, and that does on a
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: on a trip like this. But I think they're still
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: going to road grade these guys. These rosters are not
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: the same. And I'll tell you something, hays King looked
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: good last week. He was impressive too, and it ran
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: the football really well, but through the ball in his
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: limited throws, he made some really nice throws to extend
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: drives and some tough spots. I thought he looked really
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: good coming home. I just think they got too much here.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: I think they just did just pile drive these guys.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: That offensive line was really impressive for Georgia. I mean,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Really impressed with the offensive line. I went back and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: watched again, and I went and looked at PFF grade.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: That was one of the better offensive line outings for
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Game one you could have had. They really played well throughout.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and I like what Rick Keys is like
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: run the damn ball, and they did a great job.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: And I think lining up and you know, lining up
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: in a shotgun where you've got two running backs back
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: there with them was some confusion for some things. And
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: so it's it's an interesting spot. Georgia Tech wile Bee
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: and see they can build on that. That was a
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: big win for them. A couple of days, got two
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: games in Arizona, New Mexico, getting thirty one points against
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: your Wildcats. I know you love that squad. And then
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: while only getting less than a touchdown at Arizona State,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of While we to love new coach,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: they lost their running back in this one. I think
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, you know, Josh Allen is big kid that
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: they talked about. It's got a gun and can run.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: And this Arizona State team wasn't overly impressive last year.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: But I think travelings from Wyoming to State, it's gonna
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: be had a shit there by the way in Tempe
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: for this game. But I have no play on either
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: one of those.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't either. I think that Arizona line
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: is a touch too big. That's got back door cover
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: written on it. Man. I just don't know enough. I
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: want to see both of them. I want to see
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: both these teams play boy. I hope Arizona is not
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: at Arizona State. Let me say is not as good
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: as they hope, because my bulldogs are on deck next week.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: So I hope, Look, go Woming, baby, go go beat
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: them up, go grind them into a meat grinder. But
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I got no on it.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Last year, Texas Tech went up to Wyoming and took
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: a lead and then just got strangled the second half.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Uh Monday, No excuse me. Sunday a standalone game. LSU
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: USC line is four over under sixty four and a half.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: This line has been all over the place. We've seen
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it up, we've seen it move down. It's been released
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. I took the over at sixty one.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Now it's at sixty four and a half. I don't
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: know that that's playable. You keep hearing the fact that
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: both of these defense are upgraded, they're going to be better.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: You've got new quarterbacks coming in. LSU is replacing the
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Higris Trophy winner. They're replacing their two best wide receivers
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that are now in the NFL. Obviously, USC Caleb Williams gone.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: You've got different players there. Zachariah Branch the hunt returner,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: kickoff returner, wide receiver is electric most of the country.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: If you haven't watched USC, this will be an introduction
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: to this kid. He's fantastic. Miller Moss the quarterback for USC.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I look to play inside of their more of a
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley system that he's got there. And then you're
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: hearing a lot about the defense being upgraded with Antoine.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: I can think I'm pronouncing that right. Antoine Lynn Anthony
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: lyn Son is the defensive coordinator who came over from
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: USCLA in this spot. But what you're not seeing is
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: reflecting the total. It's sixty five points. We're seeing a
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: shootout for both of these teams. What do you think
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get I'm excited about this game. I'm gonna
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: be at this game. As a matter of fact, I'm
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: so excited about it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna tell you what I think. I think
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: if it gets into a shootout that plays into USC's hands,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm not that. This is not. Look, man,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I know that Nick Saban said it best. You'd check
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: a tree in State of Louisiana and a wide receiver
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: will drop out. I think that's right. I mean, he
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: ought to know better than anybody. They're gonna be talented
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: football team, just like they always are. I think the
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: state of Louisiana is as talent rich as anywhere in
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: the country that includes Florida in California. That place puts
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: out athletes and LSU gets whoever they want out of
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: there and for the most part, and so I think
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be talented. I just, man, do you know
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: how good nuss Meyer's gonna have to be to get
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: close to the production that Jane Daniels had last year?
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: And I just and while I think those why are
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: good and I think he is a good player, are
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: they gonna be that good? That defense better be improved.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: But I questioned the defensive back ends now Perkins, it's
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: just a stud even though he didn't play like it.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: They they figured out a way how to make that
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: guy nine factor on defense last year. That's why they
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: got it in the position. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: and that's and that's why they got a new defensive coordinator,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: so you know, uh, and they bring over the coordinator
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: from these from Bazoo, So it'll be interesting to see
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: what they do. I know they're really fired up about Perkins,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: but I don't think this defensive backfield. I'm telling you,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I think Lincoln Riley's gonna be able to spread this game,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to spread this game out. I like
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: them getting four, I really do. I and LSU. Look,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Dan played well in this ball game last two years
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: under Kelly. I mean, let's I forget they got drilled
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: by FSH You so, I mean, let's not forget that
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: this is another FSU type team, and what are they
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: gonna do. This is also a coach that's got I
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: think has to win this ball game. I think he
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: has Kelly has to go win this game. So another
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: intriguing matchup Week one to watch. I like SC plus
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: four and I'm gonna tell you how much in just
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: a minute.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Do you have anything on Florida State Boston College Florida
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: State laning sixteen and a half over Unders forty nine
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and a half. This game will be a stand alone
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: game Monday.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: No, because I don't want to overdo it. I hold
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: on this Boston College program, but you can overthink one
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: ball game. I tend to lean that I think that
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: was just a tough matchup for FSU because I think
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: that offensive line and that offensive look again, let's credit
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: next sab and he's gonna be such a great addition
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: to the He called this man that offense creates a
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: lot of problems. It's a tough matchup a lot of
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: new players on that FSU defense. That's basically what he
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: said and that game day, and that's exactly what we
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: saw play out. So excited to actually see what Nick
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Davian's got to add every week, because I mean, he
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: is just such a brilliant guy and a brilliant strategist.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I know I got to pass on that one. Scotty.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Here's I got official plays Colorado lay it minus nine
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you and see many under the total that we've got
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: there Western Michigan plus twenty three. I've got Va Tech
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: minus thirteen and a half. I've got Nebraska minus twenty
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: seven and a half. I've got Colorado State plus thirty
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: one and a half. I've got Florida plus the points
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: in the under, I've got A and M under both
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: of us lean on the points there, but I like
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the under in that one as well. Now, it's time
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: we hit this a couple of years ago Week one
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: for our money line underdog parlay of the Week. Man,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: was it fun that year we hit that when we
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: took Old Dominion to beat Virginia. Get it paid out
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: like eleven or twelve to one. My first play, I'm
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: gonna take North Texas in this spot against South Alabama.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I think this North Texas team is gonna be improved.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I like the offense here. I've downgraded South Alabama in
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: this spot. And give me the University of North Texas
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: and let me get your money lined for you right there.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: two more to add in. I'm gonna give you a
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: USC in unl V. We're going to all you underdog parlay.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I ain't guess he's gonna win this game, straight up.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: I really do think they're gonna win. You're getting four
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: points if you want to be safe, take the line.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: But I think SC is going to win the ball game,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: straight up. I think it is going to be much
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: of a shootout. I don't think LSU is gonna be
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: able to keep up. I love UNLV because that Houston
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: roster is a mess, and I think UNLV going in there,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: they got a legit chance to win that game. You
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: can tell it by the line, And I agree with
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: you think North Texas gonna be better, and I think
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: South Alabama is Eh, that's not a tough place to play.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I like those three. We're gonna we're gonna get it
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: underdog Parlay of the Week.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Baby, you're gonna play a three teamer or you're gonna
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: play a round robin.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: I'm playing threeteenth. I'm just say I like the I
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: like the odds on it. I mean, you don't have
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: to bet much money to win some money, So I'm
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: going I'm going all three. But I will tell you
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: there's some value. There is some value in that sc
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: money line.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: If you can take one hundred dollars and you can
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: get down up plus one seventy on North Carolina, plus
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: one twenty on UNLB and plus one fifty five one
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: USC and all that comes in that pays out fourteen
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: to one is what I've got it later do, So
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: that would not be a bad investment. You know. The
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: other thing interesting, if you ended up with a three
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: legger in that spot, you might lay a two legger
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: and then throw the three legger in there, maybe split
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: up a unit and you can actually hedge that thing
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: if you want to do on Monday or on Sunday.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Since that you got that USC game in that standalone spot.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's I'm telling you, man, it's gonna be a
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: gonna be a fun weekend. There's some great games to watch.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: It's been a long time. Look, we didn't even talk
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: about Clemson in Georgia.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: I ain't shit. I'm sorry. I've got Clemson plus fourteen.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: That was my favorite play.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cleon Clemson. Clemson is which if you're betting it
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: now is and Mark got it when it first came out.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: But it's thirteen and a half now, man, I'm telling you,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: I think I think that's gonna be a bar humdinger
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: of a game. I think Clemson covers that thirteen and
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: a half. So I mean that is there are some
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: great games to watch this weekend. But there are two
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: games that coaches have got to win. And because I'm
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you, I think it's equally as important for
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley to win. I was talking about Kelly's got
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: to win it at that UL said, I think Lincoln
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Riley's got to win it after what just happened, and
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: so I think it is. I think that game's fascinating.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: And then you got Miami and Florida. Those coaches both
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: have to win that ballgame or their fan bases make
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: you know, they just may have a mutiny. It could
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: be a great weekend. Then you got Clemson and Georgia.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: People forget this is one of the closest rivalries in
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: college football that they never play, and they used to
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: play all the time when I was growing up. I
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: remember Butler, the old kicker for the Bears, made like
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: a sixty yard or to beat Clemson at the last
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: second when I was growing up. I mean, just great
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: ball games. These kids have been playing high school football
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: against each other forever. It is going to be a
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: great ball game. I expected to definitely fall within thirteen
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: and a half. So I like Clemson a lot in
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: this ballman.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am sorry. It's one of my favorite plays.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I like Clemson. I took him at fourteen, I'd lay
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: him at thirteen and a half. I would actually lay
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Clemson here in the first half line. If you can
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: get a Clemson plus seven and a half, I am
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: expecting through birds in the air that have told me
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: these things. We're going to get some suspensions from this
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Georgia football team that are going to come out key.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Some of them are gonna be well.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Hell, they've had a dozen people arrested. You know they're
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: goal has some suspenses. I may have already kick roy
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Rod Thomas off the team.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Is Mark Rick coaching this team again? Remember how many
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: players would get arrested in the off season. We were like, uh,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I like Clemson. I'm high on Clemson this season though,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and Cavee Clubnick has cost me some cheese, but no
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Clemson plus the number thirteen and a half. I mean,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I might even take a little slice of a money
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: line at plus four or fifty. We'll just have to see,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: but it's a I like Clemson at plus thirteen and
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: a half. I like them at plus seven and a half.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I think the defensive front for Clemson is gonna be
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: able to play, and that's something the last year so
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: they've really not been able to do. I think offensively,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: are we gonna see Garrett Riley's offense because last year
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like we saw it. I'm interested to
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: see if we're gonna let it get loose a little
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: bit here. I think this Georgia team's probably got the
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: best roster in the country. If you go look at
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: the twenty four to seven you know the rosters that
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: they've got there. They've got Clemson rated as the number
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: five roster in the country, and so they're not that
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: far Apart from a talent perspective, thirteen and a half
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: points just seems like so much a lot of points
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: to me. And this is a proud Clemson team. You
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: got to remember, different culture there. Man, those kids have
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: been there the whole time if they're out there, and
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: so I like Clemson here plus thirteen and a half.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like this team thinks they're getting disrespected. They
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: kind of aren't. And so no, I like this one.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I am terribly sorry missus wins at nine o'clock game,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock game to get Saturday started. So no,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: this is this is a big game. I love this one.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, people don't. I mean, look, it's an
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: hour and a half, two hours to Clemson from Atlanta.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Everybody just assumes it's gonna be a Georgia home game.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I couldn't disagree more. It hain't gonna be every bit
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: as many Clemson fans in that stadium as there are
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Georgia fans. I ain't. It's gonna be a phenomenal atmosphere.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a People don't realize how close
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: these two schools are together. Athens is closer to Clemson
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: than Atlanta is. So it's a it is. These teams
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: are on top of each other. They've been playing against
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: each other forever. I mean it is. I think it's
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be a phenomenal ball game. I agree with you
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: bring up a great point on the first half line.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: If Clemson is gonna be in this ballgame's gonna be
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: close at halftime too, And so I think that is
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: a I think that's a key deal. They're down fourteen
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: and a half, they may get run. I just don't
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: One thing I will say to you for going to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: this game, just a heads up if it's anything like
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: the SEC championship game. If they've got Georgia listed as
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: the quote unquote home team, there will not be booze
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: sold at this because apparently Georgia is the only team
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: in the SEC that does not sell alcohol at their stadiums,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: and so you've got to have access to the tickets
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: to get you into the Mercedes Ben's Club, which is
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: down underneath the field, basically in the graveyard of the
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: old Georgia's Dome that they've got from there. And so
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: that's that is. So have fun, everybody. It's gonna be
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: a great week. Give us some reviews and some remake reviews.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Any good reviews this week are the funniest one we get.
• 1:01:07

• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: some likes, give us all those good things. He's Scott
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Dinton one. I'm at a mark. Scott will be buckled
• 1:01:15
