  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's your favorite time
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of week. You download the crazy sheet, you nestle in,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and you get ready to talk some college football with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Mark and Scott. I'm Mark. I'm in the podcasting studio.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: My man, Scotty, out on the road. Brother, how the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: hell are you?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm good. I'm in North Carolina. Little furniture market.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Need to get away. We got a little Kennesaw steak
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: going on as we record. Excited about it. Let's get rolling, man.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: What a great... week of football last week. Georgia, Bama
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: did not disappoint. Indiana, Nebraska did not disappoint. Kentucky, LSU
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: did not disappoint. My man, Stein, back-to-back weeks going for
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: two and OT. How about a set of brass balls, baby?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And then give me my man, Bob Chesney, going on
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the road and getting the straight-up dub. And his quarterback
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: got hurt, and he still kicked their ass. That is awesome.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So here's my question for you. If Cignetti goes to Indiana,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: does what he's done, coming from JMU, and then you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get the Chez going from there, obviously Penn State's probably like,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: why did we get rid of James Franklin? Why didn't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we hire Chesney? What did we do? Okay, we'll figure
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that out later. Now he's at UCLA, hotbed of talent.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, and the guy's got the culture. But the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: big question remains, Scott, two more years from now, are
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we going to talk about JMU completely rebooting Sunbelt Billy
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Napier's career?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to hire Sunbelt Billy. Dude, he's made so
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: many enemies. He's pissed off State, Ole Miss, South Carolina.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Then he got fired from Florida. Nobody's going to hire
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that guy. If they do, they get what they deserve.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Sunbelt Billy is Sunbelt Billy. Recognize who you are. Make $ 650, 000, $ 700, 000
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the rest of your life. Hang out. Get you some
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Virginia on and just roll on.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: A couple things we got rolling here. Charlotte, still the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: greatest team to bet against in the country. Has it
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: covered yet?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: No, they covered against the Rebs.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, they covered against the Rebs.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: The pre- Kiffin Bowl, which was the most obvious thing
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: ever because La Tech covered that game against LSU, too,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that weekend. We're betting the brakes off of them. Who
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: lays 21 at Temple? Scott does when it's UNC Charlotte.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Right there, baby.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Anyway, you've got that going. Oregon State on the rails.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And the Pac-12, looking like they might be a contender
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: out there. Love the Pac-12 after dark. Getting some games
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: back on television.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Look, I love Boise's coach. I mean, just, man, that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: guy's fun to watch. There's not a whole lot of cussing.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any cussing. Man, he is
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: an old-school football coach. Pumps his guys up. But he's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: really good. He seems like he's a good football coach.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: His team plays for him. That was a fun game.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I mean this, though. The Southeastern Conference last week was
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: complete chaos. I mean, Aggie fans, I mean, we both
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: lived in the state of Texas. This is beat down city.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And when he drops on, look, I think Billy Lucci,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and I do not know him. Actually, I've met him
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: one time, but I certainly don't know him. That he
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: called his guy, that he basically calls him out. That
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is a gigantic website. I mean, if it's not the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: biggest alumni, man, it's got to be close. That is
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a huge website. And that he chooses to take that
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: group on in a press conference told me two things. First,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it's spinning off the rails. He knows he can't fix
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it this season, so he's lashing out at whoever he
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: can lash out. I think the Aggies are spiraling, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any pulling them out. Second, to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: his credit, I think he was forced to apologize because
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of how many boosters and things like that are members
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of lucci's website but kudos to him for doing it
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: because he had to do it but at the end
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of the day he is year two played in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: playoff last year and his ass is done.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And they're crucifying the guy.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And aggies are the most loyal look you know i
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: haze them i think they're a cult i think they're
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: different dudes it's the weirdest place in the Southeastern Conference, hell,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it's the weirdest place in America. It was the weirdest
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: place when they were in the Big 12. It's the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: weirdest place in America. And he has totally cooked his
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: goose with a really nice set of people. And he's done.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I mean that. His ass better win and win big.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Don't be blowing playoff games at home. Your ass going
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to end up the way of Dan Mullen. You'll get fired.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Instead of looking for a reason to support you, You
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: got people looking for a reason to fire your ass now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That was the biggest unforced error that I might have
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: ever seen in a coach's history. It was stupid. I mean,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: just dumb. I mean, it's dumb. And you realize that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of these guys just there's their coaches. You
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: think sports teaches them how to handle adversity. And yet
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they handle.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It so poorly.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And you're just like, what are you doing? And then
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you realize, well, at the end of the day, they're
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: football coaches. You know?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, but, yeah, you've got that Texas OU.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: God, what a– oh.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: What a game.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: What a game. What a lack of development of Arch Manning.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, if his name is Arch Denson or Arch Atnip,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: his ass has been benched a long time ago.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Keep it going.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He transferred. He's gone. He's transferred. He's gone. And I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: mean this, Mark. Like, I don't know if it's him
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: or the lack of development. And it's, here's the deal.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Slark has been, he's had three of the best, best
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: 20 jobs in America. I would also tell you he's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: had two of the best traditionally five or six jobs,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: max 10 jobs in America. And he's won more than
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: eight games. What? Two, three times? I mean, they are ungood.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That was embarrassing. And you can't let that happen. And
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: now they've got a game. And I will tell you,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I expect them to cover and win this week. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: really do. I think it's going to be a little.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But I don't know that they're any good. Like, I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: telling you right now, I have no idea if I've
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: tried to find out if Camario Taylor's playing this weekend.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I have no idea if he's playing. I don't. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: think based on the line, Vegas thinks he's not playing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: There's no way I play him if I'm our head coach.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: When you look at Oklahoma, Texas, Vandy, Auburn, and Tennessee Tech,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: or your next five games, why would you go down
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there and play against the legitimate defense and risk getting
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: that kid hurt? Because there's a chance you can win
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: all five games. This is the least winnable game that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: State's got the next six weeks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Rest him. Don't play him. And look, regardless if you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: lose in Austin, because I think they will, you win
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the other four games, you're rolling into Oxford 8-3. The
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: pressure's all on Ole Miss at that point. And you
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: might win nine football games. And depending on what happens
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: with Minnesota and the teams you've lost to, and especially
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: if you sat Camario at LSU– Hell, you may make
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the playoff. And I understand how stupid that sounds. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that is best-case scenario for State. I think they end
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: up 7-5, I'll tell you. But it's doable. And if
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you're a coach, you've got to look at what is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the best case. How am I putting my team in
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the best situation? But I'm telling you that winning... at
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Texas is as doable as winning at Baton Rouge without
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: their best wide receiver. I mean, it is wild how
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: underperforming Texas is.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with you. I think Sark and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Arch will get him. I think it'll get Sark fired
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: most likely. And Arch probably is dropped a lot because
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long they'll be able to keep
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: selling the fact that the kid is just because he
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: just didn't have the tape. But, yeah, it is what
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it is. Texas defense is still nasty.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Nasty.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: They gave all kinds of problems in that game. They
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't have played better. Kudos to OU, scored their first
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: offensive touchdown in three years against Texas in that game,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: so you got that one done. Florida.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's so bad. Do you know who their offense
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: coordinator was?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I do not, no.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Libs.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? There you go. There you go.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Florida is starting to come back to earth a little bit,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: having to start to figure things out. So, as we
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: get to the halfway point, week six, college football, just
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: about everybody is halfway there. Usually at this point, you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: kind of start seeing some separation. I don't know what
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: we're seeing yet. Alabama, Auburn.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe I predict what we're seeing. I think that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: was a great game. I think so. Both those are
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: good football teams.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think Alabama is really good.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I think Alabama's really good, too.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Don't knock my USC Trojans going on the road, getting
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a win and a whiteout. You heard it here first.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: We did say it first, but, man, they're still coming.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: by him. It is what it is. I do want
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to comment on that Bama-Georgia game. There has been so
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: much backlash online for the way that he addressed the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: kid for throwing the punch. You can call it a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: punch or a stiff arm or whatever you want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: call it. He got away with one. He didn't do
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it once. He did it twice. Georgia baited him into
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: doing it again. It was dumbass. Can we stop acting
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: like these kids are infants? They are making hundreds of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: thousands of dollars. If you want to get paid, you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: can't expect to be treated like you're getting paid. Hell,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I would have gotten the exact same thing from my
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: high school football coach. He would have looked at me
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and said, you lost us the game, jackass. What are
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you doing? No doubt only he would have said it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: much more colorfully than that. And he would have been right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and I deserved it. Can we please stop acting like
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: these kids are, oh, they're soft. Bitch, you want to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: get paid. Get expected to get yelled at when you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a dumbass. Because guess what? You did lose– well, you
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: lost them a chance to win the football game. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: don't know if they were going to win it because Georgia,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I think, was the better football team all night. Because
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: here's the deal. He can bitch about that call in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the end zone. Once you go back and bitch about
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: all the holding calls, they gave your ass that they
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: didn't call for a quarter and a half because you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: were mugging those Georgia defenders. If you had eyes, you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: saw it. So, I think Bama got a little bit
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of home cooking to get in that situation.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I won't disagree with you there. I needed Bama, so
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I would have taken all the home cooking I could
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: have gotten, but I could see these teams coming.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a great Southeastern Conference championship.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They play a couple more times.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It's fabulous. I will tell you this, that everybody is
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: bitching about the Southeastern Conference. Look, they're 10-2 in non-conference play.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State, I think people are realizing is a good
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: football team, but not a great football team. They're a
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: 7-5 football team. They went on the road and gas-ganned
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a Big Ten team. You need that Big Ten team
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to go 6-6 if you're going to say, hey, the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: top of our league is better. That's the truth. Because
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: State's going to go 6-6 or 7-5. That's what's coming.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And maybe 8-4, but most likely 7-5, 6-6 is more likely.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And you're telling me that, oh, these teams shouldn't be ranked.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: They're slugging it out. They are pounding each other. I mean,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you look at Florida. Who the hell in the Big
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Ten's playing that schedule the last three weeks?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody's got to play.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Who the hell's doing what Mississippi State's doing in the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: month of October? Bama, LSU, Oklahoma, at Texas. Two of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: those on the road. Nobody in the Big Ten's playing
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that kind of schedule. Hell, Nebraska's the team that can
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: bitch the most. They're playing... at home against Indiana and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: on the road at Oregon, and hell, they almost won one,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and I think they cover this weekend.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Like I said.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And Dylan Raiola, by the way, still sucks.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: We don't need to go into depths about that. He
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: looked terrible. I read a comment about it afterwards. It
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, he played well in that one game
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: because we were prepared to defend a mobile quarterback. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like the next week when we knew he was coming,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we had a statute. and so you can change the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: game and go from there. But that's where you get
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: into very good coaching. That's how these guys move up
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the ranks is they dig in, they find these niches,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: they find these things out, and they go.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: The question is this, Mark, and I do mean this,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: is I think Lanning's awesome, but I also think he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: finding his footing. Man, he lost LaPoi to Cal, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: he lost Stein to Kentucky. don't you have to ask
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: questions of was that Lanning's team or was that Stein's team?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you get back to even– this is the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: only coach that has done this in you and I's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: time and actively watched football is the one and the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: only Nick Saban. Because we watched in Florida. You know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: we watched Urban Meyer build that thing up, and they
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: were incredible.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he loses Mullen, and he's got to hire his
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: offensive line coach, and they suck.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: He loses Mullen. He loses Charlie Strong. He loses, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: all those guys start getting bigger jobs. The team deteriorates.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: He moves on. You could argue the same thing at Clemson.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Clemson loses Tony Elliott. He loses Brent Venables. That team
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: completely falls off the map. Maybe those two guys convince
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: him to get on board with the NIL because he
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: trusts him. I don't know.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying you have to build a good
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: team to get to the top, and then it's a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: matter of– Can you keep a good team not together
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: because your good talent's going to leave because they want
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to get paid and they want to grow, but can
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you keep leading those same men to victory like you saw, again,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the one and only Nick Saban be able to do
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that in my lifetime? And so we'll see. I mean,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to go from here, but we're
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: halfway through the season, Scotty. There's three teams I think
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: they're any good. I think one of them is Notre Dame,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: one of them is Georgia, and the other one is Alabama.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Past that, it's a waterfall that's wide open. And anybody
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that can get a ticket to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: The day– And I think Ohio State's next.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I think Ohio State's probably– I think they.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Blew it because Ryan Day can figure out how to lose. Yeah,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and I think– And Austin. That's the truth. I think
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they're the fourth best team.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: We got all that rolling here. As we get ready
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: for this, looking at it, let's get this sheet going.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: We got a pretty good board. Thursday night. You got
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a little East Carolina, UAB, Georgia Southern, Old Domino, Colorado State,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Texas State. Any action at all Thursday evening for you?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I got nothing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I got it the same way, man.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Friday night changes the game, baby.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Where are we going Friday night for you?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Man, dude, I'm betting Memphis until they stop burning me.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: These dudes are winning football games, and Tulane is mad.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And they're going on the road, but that Tulane Stadium
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: is not impressive. But I'm going to tell you something.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Purdue's starting to fight.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Purdue's starting to win. All right, Washington's got all kinds
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: of problems. Give me the Boilermakers. Plus three and a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: half at home on Friday night. I mean, minus three
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and a half on Friday night. Winner, winner. Chicken dinner, baby.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The Boilermakers have gone from being one of the worst
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: power five teams in the country to.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: They're now laying points. He's doing a good job.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm quite there to lay points
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: with the Boilers, but they can play some offense.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You going to lay seven with me on Memphis?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Of course I'm going to lay seven on Memphis.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: There we go. My man draws tough.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: He's a good coach, man. I think he's probably one
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of the next up-and-comers to get a good job. Let's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: roll into Saturday. We got here. First, we've got Ohio State, Indiana.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Big game.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Big 10. This one's going to be played in Bloomington.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It's big time for these guys. I've watched both of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: these teams play quite a bit this year. A couple
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of things I can take away on the Indiana side.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Indiana's done a really good job masking what they could
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: run themselves into trouble with with Hoover, I think. They
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: have not let that kid throw the picks that he's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: been known to throw the last couple of years at TCU.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: They've done better. Now, he's got two dogs at wide receiver.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And that really helps. And they've got a pretty good
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: running game that he can go from there. When you
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: look at the defense, though, that's where I kind of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: wonder where is this team going to go? I think
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: this team is a step back on offense and defense.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Got the show dogs barking here. I'm going to Ohio
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: State minus three, three and a half in this one.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm scared of Ohio State minus three
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and a half. I think this team comes in, takes
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: care of business. I think they're marketably better. I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: they also realize they cannot lose. And so they have
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to go in here and win this game.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Indiana can lose, and they can't.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: That's correct.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: There's a fight for your life mentality here.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I think Ohio State absolutely gets it done, covers this
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: one going from there. Next one, Scotty, I got. Let's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: go down to Red Stick, baby. Line here is 14.5
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: as the Mississippi State Bulldogs travel down here. Over-under is 57.5.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to play quarterback for Mississippi State.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They're kind of being quiet about it. I don't think
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Camario is going to play personally. But the one thing
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I have found that's interesting is the spread has kind
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of told you Camario is not going to play at
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: 14 and a half. But the total has not told
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you he's not going to play at 57 and a half.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: This MSU defense is not that good, and I think
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: they're going to give up points, and they're going to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: try to stay in this thing with everything that they got,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: whether it's Billy Puckett. that they've got coming off the bench.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The 14, you know, Jaden Roshala came. And then you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: got A.J. Swan is in the quarterback room there as well.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Probably impressed that I knew you're four deep in your
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback room, Scott. But give me the over for the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: 57 and a half in the Mississippi State LSU game.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Let me know if you want any of that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Give me the Tigers lane. I got it at 14.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Give me the Tigers lane. I have it at. 10.5
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: for the gambling sake. We'll say minus 14. I took
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: this open. I don't think Camario is going to play.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I know this if I'm the football coach. He nor
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Fluff Botwell are playing. Mississippi State season starts next weekend.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Starkville against Oklahoma. They got Oklahoma at Texas. Home to Vandy.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Home to Auburn. Home to Tennessee Tech. You win four
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of those ballgames, you're right where you need to be
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: rolling to Oxford and you've got all the pressure on
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the Rebels, not Starkville. But you just need to win
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of those games to get bowl eligible. A
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: win against Oklahoma and, say, Bandy, even if they lose
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to Auburn. Okay. Okay. I don't think– truly, I think
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: they're going to have gagged it to lose those games.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I think the most likely of those home games is
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: probably– Oklahoma to lose because it's the most talented team.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: But if you find a way to lose one of
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: those games, you are still seven wins. I said preseason
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: on this podcast, Jeff Levy finds out how to win
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: seven games with this schedule. They ought to be Southeastern
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Conference Coach of the Year. And I agree to this
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: day that he should do it. The Summer Gun wins
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: eight games. And hell, it ought to be a unanimous vote.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: This line sucks on both sides.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Of the ball.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Give me the Tigers, baby. They've got to win. Look,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the heat's on. There's heat on him early, early. People
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: thought Kiffin was going to come in and be 11-1,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and they were going to go to the playoff, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it was great. I didn't think that. I told you
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't think they were making the playoff. I still
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: don't think they're going to make the playoff, but I
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: wouldn't play my best players down there. Give me the Tigers.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: This has been a house of horrors for the Bulldogs
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: my whole life. My whole life. Give me the Tigers.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: That's a long way to get to plus 14 and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Give me the Tigers. They're going to beat the brakes
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: off us.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Florida, Texas.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: 38-14, Mark.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: 38-14.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: That'll be the final.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: This is a big line. Texas minus 10 and a half.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Florida over under here is 51 and a half. I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: don't have a play here. I think you kind of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: got two wounded animals in this one. And it may
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: just be able to come out and see who can
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: get some momentum rolling and go.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Does Sarkisian get fired if they lose this game?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets fired. I think they're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: going to play out the string with this and see.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But I do think if I'm Sark, I probably say
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I can't call plays anymore and I need an offensive
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: coordinator and I just need to run things. That's my
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: personal opinion. If we're not going to play this game,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: let's keep plowing. Cincinnati, West Virginia, are you going to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: take the Bearcats here?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Give me the Bearcats on the road. Give me the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Bearcats on the road. I think this is a great
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: setup for them. Not a lot of travel. I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: this is actually a pretty good football team. West Virginia
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: is a complete mystery. I mean, they are a good one.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It's not even one game. It's one series they look great,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and the next they look lost. It is. I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: since he wins this game, I think it's a great
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: cover for him. I think this is a better football
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: team in the Big 12 than people are giving them
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: credit for.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll ride with you on this one. Give me
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the Bearcats on the road in this one. Next one, Scotty,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is an easy one. Charlotte on the road traveling to Philadelphia,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: supposed to get some wind in this one. Temple got
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: some backups, laying 21. You're going to take Coach Keeton
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and the boys to lay 21 against the champs.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I told you, not only am I taking them every
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: week until they don't cover, I'm going to bet them
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: again the next week to make them cover twice. I'm
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: telling you, I'm betting these guys every week. I'm already
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: house money. I'm one or two more games from house
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: money for the year. Take Temple.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Missouri, Ole Miss. This one will be played out there
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in Oxford, Mississippi. Line's five and a half. Over's 58
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and a half. Here's where I'm going. Give me the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: over again in this one. The Ole Miss, I love
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss. I like what I see from the offense.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: The offense on this team is actually better than I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: was expecting it to be. I really thought this team
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: would lean on the defense because that's where Pete Golding
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is comfortable. He's not. And I think I'm going over
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: 58 and a half. I think this game is going
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to be a lot more of a shootout than we think.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Give me the over in that one.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I'm taking over in this ballgame, Mark,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: because I think Caden Lee and Austin Simmons are coming
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: down with a chip on their shoulder. Both those guys
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: are really, really good football players. I think they come
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in with something to prove. I think Austin Simmons has
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: got a little F you about him. I think he
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: wants to come in and get on it. I think
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Caden Lee is legit. I mean, legit. And I think
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the Rebels are missing him big time. I think it's
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: his high scoring. If it's not, Mizzou covers easy. Maybe
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: win the game straight up.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Next one I've got is my favorite play on the board.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: It's second weekend in October. Bama, Tennessee. Bama laying seven
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and a half on the road, traveling Neyland Stadium. 51.5
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is the over-under in this one. Tennessee, I think, is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: going to be starting their backup again. George McIntyre, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: kind of got the vibes from reading Josh Eifel's clippings
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that Faison Brandon, it's not just that he might be
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: nicked up, but I don't know that he's really got
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in the kid. So he's really
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: trying to lean on that run game and his defense.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to matter here. I think
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: this Bama team, even though they lost last week, number one,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I think they come in with a chip on their shoulder.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And number two is I think this Bama team is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: one of those teams that may be peaking right around
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: week 11. I mean, well, you've got a young quarterback
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that's still getting reps, still getting big-time games under his belt.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And he's playing in them, and he's looking good.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Yes. Give me this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I think this is a big mismatch. I don't understand
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: this line at seven and a half. I think they
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: got the hook hung out there thinking that they're going
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to get cute and get some Tennessee money. Give me
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the tide all day in this one.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: This line feels like a trap line. Totally. I'll walk
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: right into it. Give me the tide. They're going to
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: pound these guys.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Next two, I got Oregon State laying 18.5 against Washington State,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: over-unders 52.5. I don't know if you've watched Oregon State
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: play yet this year. I've watched them play almost every game.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: After that opening weekend when they matched up against Houston,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this team's really good. Quarterback won
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the Walter Payton Award last year, which if you're not
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: familiar with that, that's the FCS Heisman Trophy, basically. Brings
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: them over here. Kidd is lighting it up. They got
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: some receivers that can absolutely get it done. Coach is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: doing wonderful things. Washington State still really hadn't found their footing.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going to lay it with Oregon State 18 and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a half until they burn me.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I like it. I got nothing on this, but I
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: will tell you, I got me another OSU I like
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: coming up down.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Next one I got, Scotty, TCU playing Baylor. Baylor laying
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: six at home, over-unders 48 and a half. This could
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: be considered a quarter-and-quarter rivalry game for these two schools.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I've never figured it out. Give me the Baylor Bears
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: minus six. Yeah, here's what we got. TCU is literally
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: one of the worst offenses in the country. Against power
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: four teams, do you know how many points off the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: top of your head they're averaging?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Eleven. Eleven.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely correct. We didn't even talk about this.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: We haven't even talked about this, but I looked at
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: it earlier today.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: They're averaging 11 points a game against Power 14. That's unbelievable.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: They run at a snail's pace. They've got a quarterback
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that transferred in from Harvard. I said this week when
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I saw this happen at LSU with Andy Hatch years ago,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it's not going to work, and it hasn't worked. They
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: can't make the.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: You did call this early, by the way. We talked
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: about this a lot off air, and you did call
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: it early.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: They cannot make this work. Baylor is the best defense
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in the Big 12. I used to yell that when
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: we went to the Holiday Bowl. The Bruin fans laughed
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: at me because we gave up 45 points a game
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that year. But anyway, Baylor is the best defense in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the Big 12. They're kind of coming into their own.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They've had some injuries. But now you've got Lagway.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Lagway's figuring it out.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: He's figuring it out. And you can tell this team
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: wants to follow it. I mean, they want a leader.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And you can see that he's playing with some swag. TCU,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: short man syndrome. They hate everybody. Baylor gets it done.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Land six. Give me the Bears. I don't think the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Frogs can come on the road and get this one done.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry to my buddy Kevin, but I'm with you on this.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going Baylor Bears.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: So, next one I got Florida State, Miami. Miami's laying 21,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: 21 and a half in this one. They're taking all
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the money over under here. It's 56 and a half.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: This used to be a great game. I'm tempted to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: take Florida State plus 21 and a half. But I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: think if Miami just leaves their dogs out there, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: don't see how Florida State's going to keep up with
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: these guys.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the only reason that I think Florida State covers
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: is they– man, this game is full of hatred. But
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: they can't ever find a way to win it. Some
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: bitches would have won five natties if they could have
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: figured out how to win this game in the 90s.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, holy smokes, they had great football teams and
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: just couldn't beat Miami. I think I'll do it now
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: when they're the less talented team, significantly more talented as Miami,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and they used to not be. It used to be
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the other way around. Do I think that this team
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: is going to come out and give it its all
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: and keep it within the 21, 21 and a half?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I think that is likely, but Miami comes out and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: plays well. Probably not. I don't want any part of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: this game, but if my gut tells me if I
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: take it, I'll take FSU. But that's history. That's not
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: what I've seen with my eyes. I agree.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Totally agree with you. I'll probably be watching. I will
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: not be surprised Saturday morning if I look up and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I have a ticket in my hand for Florida State
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: plus 21.5. It's like, this is going to be so gross.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And I've got another one down the board that I
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: know I will end up betting, and it's disgusting. I'll
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: get to that in a minute. Notre Dame. On the road,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: laying ten and a half against BYU. BYU team is
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: nicked up. Over-under is 46 and a half. These teams
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: are very different. Notre Dame is very explosive. Of course,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: they played a terrible football team last week and blew
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: them out of the water. BYU is a very physical squad.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: You've got a quarterback that weighs as much as a
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: high school guard. Hands throw the ball better this year
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: from what I've picked up.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: To his brother. Yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: The only thing that's weird about this game to me
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: is the line stinks. Like at 10.5 and the fact
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that it's not moving stinks to me. And so you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: want to take Notre Dame and you want to lay it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pass the game, but I'm telling you,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: if I were going to play it, I'd probably have
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to play the boys in special underwear just because I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: think the line stinks. I have the line closer to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: 13 based on my book.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. We'll disagree on this.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Hail to the. I'm telling you, I'm telling you. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: think Notre Dame is a really, really good football team.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I've felt it all year. I think C.J. Carr is
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. I think they are going
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: to keep pounding on people. Yes, their schedule is favoritive
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: for them, but this is a game they can make
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: a statement. I agree. And I think Marcus Freeman has
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: them by a love him as a football coach. I
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: think he knows how to motivate young men. I think
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: these kids want to play for him. Give me a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: fighting Irish. I think they're fixing to beat the brakes
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: off of BYU.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I can see it. I mean, that's what I'm telling you.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I can see that exactly happening.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: This may be one of those old-school Miami, like Florida
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: State games. They would play like a ranked team, and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you'd look up, and it's 48-14, 48-21. I think that
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: may be exactly what we get this weekend.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It could be.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way BYU can keep up
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: with them.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, and that's the reason I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: can't bet it, because it stinks too bad. I agree
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: with it too much.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're laying 10 and a half on the road
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: to a top 10 football team, but I don't think
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: BYU's a top 10 football team.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: At altitude of like 7,000 feet, too.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the same thing they said when Cheryl took
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State out there in 99, and we beat the
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: brakes off their ass, too, because we had a good
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: football team. I'm telling you, I don't... I just don't
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: think they've got the athletes to keep up.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Next one I got, Cougars at home, laying four and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: a half against another ranked team, Oklahoma State. Team everybody
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: kind of threw away week one after they lost Tulsa.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Then they beat Oregon, and then you kind of wonder
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: if Oregon's any good. But if you've watched Mestemaker play,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: they figured it out on offense. Hence the fact that
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the over-under here is 62 and a half. I'm going
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to take the Cowboys plus four and a half. I
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: think this team's a live dog on the road. Here's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: my logic. I've watched U of H play. This team
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: is very mistake driven. And that is the reason I'm
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: going to lay it. This is a very undisciplined Willie
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Fritz football team, in my personal opinion. And that means
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: they're probably still more disciplined than most. But I just
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: feel like this team's just kind of just, they just
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: can't keep a drive rolling at times because they'll screw
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: themselves up. or make a mistake there. And they're relying
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a ton on Wegman. And I like the kid a lot.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I just wonder from here, game could be a shootout.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: If it goes to being a shootout, I don't know
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: if U of H can hang around. So give me
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Give me the points.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: This says 61 and a half says score fest. Can
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: they keep up? Give me the Cowboys, baby. Plus four
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and a half alive dogs. We might have an underdog
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: parlay brewing right here, big boys.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Kentucky traveling to Norman. Again, you got OU coming in here,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: not ranked, coming off of that massive game against Texas.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You got Kentucky, who won at home last week.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: It's come off two massive games.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Two huge games, but one against LSU. And you got
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to realize, for those of you that are new to this,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Kentucky doesn't beat LSU very often. Kentucky really doesn't beat
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: anybody that good very often. They win seven games. They
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: keep on moving down the road. Things are kind of
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: starting to look exciting for these guys. They're coming in here.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: They're getting six and a half. OU offense has looked terrible.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And you've got to wonder what's going to go on.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Over under here is 43 and a half. I lean
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to the under, but we'll see what's going to happen.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: That's a low number. I'm going to take 43 and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a half and go under. I think OU's defense is
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: going to absolutely shut down Kentucky. All right. That defense
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: proved they could do it last week. I think they
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: do it again this week. I think you get a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: lot more ground and pound from OU.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Me and you can shut down OU.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I think they scored this week.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: That's all you got to do. That's all they got.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I think this game is.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Really low scoring. Really like this game. Plus, they're coming
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: off a huge week's I think they are going to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: fight an ugly fight. They're going to be slinging mud.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I think this is a brutal game. 21-17, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: something like that. 24-17, 24, you know.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: It'll be gross.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Which would be slightly over, but I think this is good. Now,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: this is also, if you bet this on the under,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: you're going to be sweating this shit out. Final whistle.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: You're welcome to stand right next to me. I'll have
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: my ticket in my pocket. I'll tell you another game.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I don't have a play on it, but I probably
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: will on Saturday. Wisconsin plus two and a half traveling
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to UCLA. Stinky, stinky dog in Wisconsin. I mean, this
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: is a team nobody's really paying attention to. UCLA just
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: won another big game on the road.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: With their backup quarterback taking over.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: With their backup quarterback taking over. Now they're at home
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: laying two and a half. I think Johnny Public is
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: going to line up and butt the Bruins like they
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: know the outcome of the game. But the fact that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the line hasn't hit three yet is a massive indicator
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to me that the book knows something. I'm taking the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Badgers or I'm taking nothing. I'm just letting you know
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: right now. But anyway, you got to play there at all.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I told you there's some potential underdog parlays out there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: This might be one of them. I got one more game.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I like there's three more of the dogs. You know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I like I like I mean, I think everybody knows
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: that there's a couple of things that I think are huge.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take a flyer on one more huge number, too. So, anyway,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: we'll talk underdog parlay shortly.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I'll give you my last play of the game. Give
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: me Jason Eck and the New Mexico Lobos playing Hawaii here.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Hawaii team's really banged up. Michael Elohato has not looked good.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: They cannot run the ball whatsoever. They had no throw
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the ball. Line stinks at 14 and a half. Nobody
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: wants to lay 14 and a half. Sure, you can
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: buy the hook. But this Hawaii team's travel schedule has
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: been fucking crazy. They've been back and forth to the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: mainland twice in the last three weeks. And not easy
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: trips either. New Mexico coming off a bye, gets this one.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I think it rolls over there, takes care of business.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: They're really physical, gets it done. Go ahead and give
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: me New Mexico's minus 14 and a half. That's my
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: last play. I have a weird feeling that you're going
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to take me to the upper left corner of the country.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And you're going to want to talk to me about
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the mighty Matt rule and corn matched up.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. Give me plus seven. Give me plus seven live dog.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this offense is a mess. They are
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: a mess at Oregon. And here comes his old team
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and Dylan Ryola. And it's a guy who's not performed
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: well under pressure. And in big moments, and nothing's more
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: pressure than wanting to stick it up your ex-teammate's ass.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I am telling you this sets up for a train wreck.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Total train wreck. Because they're trying to figure out who
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: they are. Give me Nebraska plus seven. I think they're
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a live dog. I'll give you one more huge number
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I think is a live dog. Because I don't think
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech's very good on offense. I think Arizona State
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: plus 14 and a half is a great number. But
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I think they may can win this game straight up.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: All they need is a break or two. That's it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Because Texas Tech can't score. They've not been able to score.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: They're not good on the offensive side of the football.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: At some point, I think their quarterback gets healthy and
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: they start getting better. But we hadn't seen it yet.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Got my eye on that. Man, you can pick some
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: of these underdog games. But, I mean, Cincy plus one
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and a half, that's a live dog. But give me
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State plus four and a half. Love them as
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: a dog. And give me whiskey, which we never talked about.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Plus two and a half at Ucla. It's the biggest
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: game Ucla's won in a decade. And there's a letdown coming.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Give me those two guys as underdog parlays.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Right there. We'll throw Nebraska in. $ 50 on a Moneyline
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: round robin. $ 50 paying out on that. We'll probably be
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: in for almost $ 450 on that one if we pull
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: that one off.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: We're putting money on national champions every year. Like I said,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: double down on Georgia. They'd get plenty of money. It's
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: why we didn't have to take them. That's the best
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: football team in the country. But Bama's good.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Bama's really good.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Bama's good. And they're going to be there at the end.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: This is going to turn into Bama, Georgia, Ohio State,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. That's my honest opinion. I think they're
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: four best teams in the country. Felt that way early.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Bama's my only surprise. They're my surprise.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I'll throw Miami in. Give me a Miami ticket.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Miami, I would agree with that. You're right. I'm leaving
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: out Miami, and that's a mistake because I think Mensah's great.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Those are the five best teams in the country.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I have five teams currently that I have put into
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Mentally, I'm ready. I've got tickets on all
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: of them. I've got five teams I'm ready to go with.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple that I want to bet. Don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: think I don't want me an Iowa ticket. I really
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: want an Iowa ticket.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Next week, we got a huge Iowa game brewing. Can't
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: wait to talk about that next week. I'm telling you, man,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: that college football, while it is certainly not as traditional
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: as it's been, where teams had depth and you knew
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: who was good, talent is spread out everywhere. Teams can lose.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: They can win. They can look like shit the next
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: week and then come out and play great the next week.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: It's hard for them to string together multiple weeks and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: play well because they don't have any depth. Guys start
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: getting hurt and they take a huge step back. It
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: is wild. And NIL has done all that. I don't
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: think it's the loyalty it used to be like. Cheering
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: your team on is not nearly as much fun as
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: it used to be because, hell, you don't know who
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: your team is. It's a whole new group of guys.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go number nine.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: As far as gambling and watching the sport and the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: entertainment value, it is fabulous. Every Saturday, you get great games.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: And if you don't have a bunch of TV packages
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and you're not scrolling and watching three and four games
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: and you've got a TV on split screen, I mean, hell,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I have six games on a lot of times on
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: a split screen. I got two I'm watching on the
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: TV and then I have a third TV on split screen.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: It is awesome. You see some great plays, some great games,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: great performances, bonehead plays, stuff you're like, what is going on?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: What is this kid doing? And you realize... these teams
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: just aren't nearly as good as they used to be.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: No, that's what makes it fun though.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Those teams would crush all these teams.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: They would crush these guys, but this is the environment
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: we're in and it's more fun to watch on Saturday.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: You got a chance a lot of weeks. It is
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: really cool. The depth is just simply not there. So
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: for all the negative with NIL and everything that goes on,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and I can lament a lot of things I would
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: like to change about college sports. Man, the quality. That's wrong.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: The quality of the entertainment value is off the charts.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Folks, we love you. Thank you for the downloads.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the shares, the tweets, the comments, anything
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you want to say. All feedback is fantastic. With that
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: being said, good luck to everybody, and we'll talk to
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: you next week.
