Exciting Week 13 College Football Predictions Revealed! · Targeting Winners: A College Football Betting Podcast

0:01
What's up, everybody? We have reached week 13 in
0:05
college football. Hard to believe seeing the
0:07
season just started last week, but we've got two weeks left in
0:10
the regular season. Then conference championship
0:13
week, we got a little Army Navy and the first bowl game actually
0:17
takes place on the same day in about a month or so.
0:20
So excited for that. I'm Darren.
0:22
Welcome to targeting winners. I am joined today by Pete
0:26
somewhere out of the country. Pete, how we doing man?
0:28
I'm doing good, doing good, excited to be here.
0:31
I cannot believe we're this deep in the season already.
0:33
That's pretty, pretty incredible.
0:34
The season goes by so quickly. It's it's just crazy.
0:37
But happy to be here and happy to be talking some good old
0:40
football again. So looking forward to moving
0:42
forward here. Not not not super impressed with
0:45
the with the slate of games. I mean, as a fan, I love college
0:47
football any week we get it. But I was looking for some for
0:50
some nice match ups and little little lacking this week.
0:54
But. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think
0:58
week zero was better, honestly. I mean, this is just a really,
1:00
really kind of week, a week week, if you want to say it that
1:03
way. But yeah, pretty, pretty
1:05
underwhelming was it was hard to find anything that was too
1:07
enticing. There was a couple, one team
1:09
that I really love this year and outside of that, it was pretty
1:11
tough. But we got some stuff to talk
1:13
about. We should do.
1:14
All right, So we know there is a game tonight.
1:16
We're going to touch on that towards the end of the segment
1:19
here 'cause there were not a ton of games to add to the Rapid
1:22
Fire segment and two games on Friday, one we do not have a bet
1:26
on, but one we actually do. And Pete, that's yours.
1:30
So let me pull up this slide here.
1:32
And we got the Hawaii UNLV game taking place on Friday.
1:36
Where where you heading with this one?
1:38
Well, I mean, this is a team that has done me really well
1:41
this year. I love my Rainbow Warriors.
1:43
I talked them up at the beginning of this year because I
1:46
felt very confident in the team. You know the beginning, if you
1:49
go back to the start here, I talked about them playing well
1:51
at home and the, and they have played well at home.
1:54
I I didn't quite expect them to play so well on the road.
1:58
I've been really impressed by their offense and and the fact
2:01
that they've got some quick strike stuff that's been
2:03
happening that, you know, I thought was possible, but I
2:07
really didn't expect it to be, you know, relatively consistent.
2:10
It's not been entirely consistent, but it's been
2:12
relatively consistent, which has been exciting.
2:14
I mean, this team has been fun to watch.
2:16
Great for this team, good for the program going forward.
2:19
I think I mean, it might help them with recruiting going
2:21
forward. So exciting.
2:22
So total is 64 1/2, which is a which is a pretty big number at
2:27
UNLV, but this is once again at a team that also can score some
2:31
points. So I think there's going to be a
2:34
whole lot of scoring. So for a late night game, a
2:37
couple teams that can score defence optional.
2:41
I think in a lot of ways here, man, this is going to be a fun
2:44
game. So for one of those, you know,
2:45
for a, for a pretty poor slated games in a weekend here, man,
2:50
this is 1. When I saw this thing, I was
2:51
like, Oh, I can't wait to watch this thing.
2:54
So me being in Mexico this week hanging out, I'm going to kick
2:57
back with a Margarita and watch this thing and enjoy watching my
3:00
rainbow warriors. I'd love to see him win this
3:02
game. I'm not, I'm not predicting
3:03
they're going to win this game. I'd like to see it.
3:06
I don't think they're going to they're going to win, but I do
3:08
expect them to score a bunch of points.
3:10
I do expect the over here. So I am going over 64 1/2 with
3:14
my Warriors. Yeah, I don't like it, man.
3:17
Shout out to Timmy Chang, man. I remember we were talking early
3:19
in the season like this is his fourth year.
3:21
He hasn't really brought results yet.
3:22
I mean, is he somebody that could be on the hot seat?
3:25
But shout out to him, man. They, they've had an awesome
3:28
year. I guess they're going to play in
3:29
the Hawaii Bowl. I don't know, maybe they'll get
3:31
a better one if they pull this one off.
3:32
But yeah, you, you said it perfectly.
3:35
Defense optional. I, I don't know if UNLV even
3:37
knows what that is. They look like they're playing
3:39
with 9 guys on the field half the time when they're on
3:41
defense. And if Hawaii can get into the
3:44
40s on Air Force, you know, I'll talk about that a little later.
3:48
But yeah, I mean, I I don't see how both these teams light up
3:50
the scoreboard. Make sure all your bulbs are
3:52
working in the scoreboard there. You only this could get ugly.
3:54
This this could be one of those games where you're sitting at
3:57
like 40 something at halftime. I'm just like, I'm moving on to
3:59
the next game because this one, this one's a done deal.
4:02
All right, moving on to Saturday.
4:05
Here's one of the better games, Little Oklahoma, Missouri.
4:09
Looks like Oklahoma, currently a 7 1/2 point favorite, total of
4:12
41 1/2. And this is yours as well.
4:15
What are your thoughts on this one?
4:16
Yeah, another game that I think is actually a really good game,
4:19
right? So we talked once again, poor
4:21
slated games. But these two games are the
4:23
first two games that I decided I wanted to bet on 'cause to me,
4:25
they're both really interesting games.
4:27
To me, this number was suppressed.
4:29
I mean, Oklahoma has been scoring some points.
4:31
They looked good last week. You know, to me, 42 is just low,
4:35
especially unusually low for Oklahoma.
4:38
I was trying to get my arms around this number, like, what
4:40
am I missing? I've got to be missing
4:41
something, right? You know, they, they play an
4:44
aggressive style of offense. I expect that's going to
4:46
continue. There's going to be some
4:47
vertical stuff down the field. Tempo is going to be high.
4:51
You know, Missouri's defense is good.
4:53
They're certainly not elite, right?
4:55
So, you know, I think they're going to be, you know,
4:57
serviceable, but they're not going to stop Oklahoma.
4:59
They might slow them down a bit. You know, I think Oklahoma will
5:03
probably score something like, you know, 2730 points by
5:06
themselves. So all I need Missouri to do and
5:09
I was get me another, you know, 14 or something and we'll be
5:11
good to go on this over. So to me, I mean, unless
5:15
something that I'm just not seeing happens, I think this is
5:19
I'm not going to say I'm not going to change spot though.
5:21
This just feels like an over 42 all day long.
5:24
So I am going over on the 42. Yeah, John Metier every week
5:29
looks a little bit more and more like the John Metier we saw in
5:32
September, which is great for Oklahoma.
5:34
And we had talked about in the last game how Hawaii's been
5:36
very, very good to you, Oklahoma cashing my 88 win total at least
5:42
by shocking Alabama last week. So obviously I'm very happy with
5:47
with what the Sooners have done. The only thing I think maybe
5:50
you're wondering what what did I not see here?
5:52
There was a report that Tribula might possibly be playing after
5:57
that gross ankle injury. I believe that he got the
6:00
Vanderbilt game, but he's doubtful.
6:01
So maybe that's the one thing I'm thinking that maybe has this
6:04
a little low, but I mean, we saw Missouri.
6:07
I watched Missouri last week because I, I had laid the, the
6:09
seven. Their defense did not look, I
6:13
may look good, but not great. I mean, Oklahoma gets in the the
6:17
high 20s, low 30s wouldn't surprise me, which means you
6:19
only need what, 14 points from Missouri?
6:21
I that should happen. I I don't see a problem.
6:24
Either Well, it's not it's not like Bama's bad either.
6:26
And and Oklahoma looked pretty good against them, right.
6:28
So I mean that that was my thought process is I don't know
6:30
how they're going to look worse against Missouri, but what do I
6:33
know? Well, your plus units on the
6:35
air, so you know something. I know a little bit.
6:39
All right, so my two games, Speaking of horrible, horrible
6:44
football, not that we have been, we're about to because I have a
6:47
Mountain West play and I have this Conference USA play here.
6:52
Liberty, the team we'd love to bash, but boy is it justified
6:56
'cause they have fallen off the earth in the last two years here
6:59
and this year, not any better at all.
7:03
Playing Louisiana Tech, I bet you go through confidence USA
7:06
stats, you look for good offenses, you're not going to
7:09
find too many of them. So there's nothing here
7:11
offensively on either side of the ball that leads me to
7:14
believe that one of these teams has a big advantage over the
7:17
other. Tech's going to be on their
7:18
third string QB as their second string QB got hurt in the last
7:22
game. He does have a little bit of a
7:23
running threat, so maybe Tech could do a little something.
7:27
But they do have two really good running backs and Clay Theven
7:29
and Omari Wiggins, who I think will actually control this game.
7:33
Liberty's defense, not very good.
7:35
Louisiana Techs actually very, very good.
7:38
They actually lead the Conference USA in points allowed
7:40
per game. I don't see them giving up a lot
7:42
of points here. I don't know if Liberty's quit,
7:45
They sure look like it sometimes.
7:46
But the even Vasco experiment has not worked out.
7:51
The just the best unit on the field here is going to be the
7:53
Louisiana Tech defense in a game with a low spread.
7:57
I just went money line here minus one O 8 on tech money
8:01
line. I'm not taking the point and
8:03
1/2. That was like juice to -115 So I
8:07
mean a much better defense here. They should set up this offense
8:09
to do a little something and hopefully liberty can't really
8:12
plan for this third string guy. Trey Kukuk is his name.
8:15
I'm probably pronouncing that wrong.
8:16
Sorry, Trey, if you're listening.
8:18
But yeah, I mean, give me give me a team with a defense going
8:22
against a team that very well may have possibly just waiting
8:25
for the season to end here. So I believe both these teams
8:27
are five and five. So if you want to use a little
8:28
motivation tactic, which I do kind of like to look at, you
8:32
know, when there's one or two games left in the season, maybe
8:34
you get some kind of effort from Liberty, but you should be
8:37
getting that from law Tech as well.
8:38
They're four and one at home. I expect their defense carrying
8:41
to win here. So I've got 1 unit on Louisiana
8:43
Tech with the money line minus one O 8.
8:46
Yeah, love that bet. I actually kicked this one
8:49
around for the over so that the total is 44 1/2.
8:52
I thought about it just because of what you just said, right?
8:54
You know, end of the season. Do we get a heartbeat out of
8:57
liberty? Do they do something that they
8:59
could they might they score some points It it could happen.
9:02
They're not going to win this game.
9:03
I love your bet here. But you know, and they they
9:06
score a couple touchdowns. Could this easily go over?
9:08
Yeah, it could. So I toyed with it.
9:10
But then as we were talking via text, getting ready for this
9:14
thing the other day, I was like, but it's Liberty and I just
9:16
can't do it. Not this year, two years ago.
9:19
Yeah, right now, Nope, can't do it.
9:23
So I wanted to you watch the it'll probably be like a 60
9:26
point game or something and I'll kick myself right in the
9:28
backside. But so yeah, I thought about it.
9:31
I wouldn't blame anybody for taking the over on this thing,
9:34
but right now I just can't bet Liberty.
9:37
So for me off the table. Don't blame you all right well
9:41
let's go to your wheelhouse. It's usually something that is
9:44
on your table big 10 action here the and I know this this game is
9:48
probably important to you because you mentioned our group
9:51
chat. I told you I was kind of
9:52
updating the futures bets as we were going and A7 win Nebraska
9:57
team. Somebody in this room that's not
10:00
me has an over 7 1/2 win total on the Dylan Rayolas Cornhuskers
10:07
here. So two shots to cash other
10:10
futures bet here. What did you do in this one?
10:14
Questioning myself already. Thanks, man.
10:18
To be, I'll be 100% honest, right?
10:20
I bet this thing because I've got that futures bet.
10:24
So I want to watch this thing. I I want to see Nebraska get my
10:29
eight wins. So I'm really want to see this
10:31
happen. I'd like to see Penn State get
10:34
pounded here. That'd be very nice.
10:36
Listen, this, this is a tough one, right?
10:38
Total is 44 1/2. It's, it's been difficult to see
10:44
what Penn State is going to do post James Franklin, of course,
10:47
right? That's once you lose your
10:49
captain, IE your coach, really hard to see what's going to
10:52
happen. Nebraska without their
10:54
quarterback, right? That's tough as well.
10:57
But this number is low, right? 44 1/2.
11:00
These are two teams with talents.
11:02
They've both shown they have talent this year.
11:05
So lose your coach, lose your quarterback, But still, there's
11:08
a lot of talent on that field. Nebraska's still capable of
11:12
scoring points. Penn State at home is obviously
11:15
still capable of scoring points. You know, games between these
11:19
two teams generally land somewhere in the 40 to 50 point
11:23
range. So this thing is right in the
11:26
middle of it. So I'm playing a hunch here,
11:29
right? I'm playing two things.
11:30
So I'm playing a hunch and I'm playing my future's bet, right.
11:33
So that is the really the only two reasons why I bet this game
11:37
is right. So that's what I'm doing here.
11:39
I'm playing the over 44 1/2. This is a hope and a dream, but
11:44
I do believe that this will more than likely play itself out.
11:48
I, I would not be surprised to see something like, you know,
11:51
Penn State win this game, I don't know, 30 to 24 or
11:56
something like that. So that would get me there.
11:58
So that's what I expect to see. So one unit over 44 1/2.
12:04
Yeah, I had looked at this one too, but I, I, I mean, Penn
12:07
State seems like they're, they're kind of getting it
12:10
together here. But I mean, you had such high
12:13
goals at the start of the season.
12:14
I mean, how, how many games can you come out there?
12:16
And just like, I don't know, man.
12:19
And then I don't even know what the Nebraska will look like
12:22
really without Rayola against the Penn State defense.
12:24
I mean, it's credit to you for even picking this.
12:27
I I was trying to find something involving 2 teams that people
12:30
have heard of and might bet, but I was just like duh I I don't
12:34
even know. Just like let me move on to
12:36
another game and try and find something.
12:37
But yeah, credit to you for even playing this man, because I did
12:42
not. I I am playing against
12:45
probability here. I did a whole probability
12:47
analysis and it says go under and I went over.
12:49
So if we're good, we'll see how this plays itself.
12:52
Trust those numbers, man. Excellent.
12:54
All right. And my last game, because I only
12:56
had two because I did not enjoy the schedule here.
13:00
OK, you all remember when I bet Air Force to beat Hawaii and
13:03
that was actually the biggest train wreck ever?
13:05
Well, Air Force, Yeah, Rainbow War.
13:09
I'm glad my bet could contribute to you cashing something.
13:14
All right. But, you know, there's always,
13:15
you know, we talk about it. There's a line you look at it
13:17
doesn't make sense, but you fall for it anyway.
13:19
Yeah, I'm falling for this one here.
13:22
I I need someone to explain to me, and maybe you can, since,
13:24
you know, you're the only other one in the room.
13:26
So I'll ask you. We had a seven and three New
13:29
Mexico's team, which actually is.
13:31
I don't even think their wind total was anywhere close to 7 to
13:34
start the year. You know, still playing for a
13:38
shot at the Mountain West title game.
13:40
Yes, they're on the road, but they're only laying 3 1/2
13:43
against a team that is probably outside the top 125, keeping in
13:49
mind there's only 136 FBS teams in most major defensive
13:53
categories. So I started to look at this.
13:55
Something's wrong. And then to confuse myself even
13:58
more, if you followed Air Force football at all, God knows I
14:01
wouldn't blame you if you haven't.
14:03
A couple games into the season they made a QB switch and put in
14:06
a fella by the name of Liam Zarca who has taken this offense
14:11
to incredibly impressive levels considering you know that he
14:15
didn't start the year as a starter.
14:18
Not sure if people are aware of this or not because they're out
14:21
West. Maybe because it's only Thursday
14:23
afternoon he got hurt, broke his arm out for the year.
14:28
So this would tell me that this line, as we get closer to
14:32
kickoff, should hit 4, maybe 4 1/2.
14:36
I was actually waiting because the plus 3 1/2's at Air Force
14:38
actually juiced -115 I was hoping it would get down to
14:42
three and make a bet. But then as the day went on, I
14:45
saw the juice lessen a little bit and I'm like, oh crap, this
14:47
is going to four. So I laid one unit here on New
14:51
Mexico -3 1/2, and nobody's going to believe that New Mexico
14:57
actually has a really good defense, if any stretch, but
14:59
their run defense actually called giving up 106 yards per
15:03
game. I would not have bet on that to
15:05
start the season. But yeah, I mean, we watched
15:09
them play Michigan way earlier in the year and after they fell
15:12
down 14, nothing. They actually played pretty
15:14
well, I thought in Ann Arbor. I agree.
15:17
But yeah, their their head coach Jason Eck I believe is who it
15:20
is, has done a very impressive job leading this team to seven
15:25
wins. And then I look at Air Force,
15:27
they had that four or five game stretch where they were giving
15:29
up 40 points or more like every single game.
15:31
I kind of took a look at their schedule, see if there was any
15:33
improvement to maybe think why this line was was short.
15:37
Yeah, their last four games they haven't given up more than 26.
15:41
But then I looked at their opponents in those four games.
15:43
Wyoming, who's only averaging 17A game, Army who's only
15:46
averaging 22A game. San Jose State was only
15:49
averaging 24 game and UConn was actually averaging 35, but they
15:53
allowed 26 to UConn. So that was probably their best
15:56
defensive ever. But I mean, when you take away a
15:59
guy like Zarka, who also in his eight games leads the team in
16:02
rushing almost 1000 yards rushing already and 13 rushing
16:05
touchdowns, in addition to his 1300 yards passing and nine TDs
16:09
through the air, he has got, you know, a ton to that offense.
16:14
And I don't know if anybody can replace what he does.
16:17
And when you have a defense this bad, I mean, you get two or
16:21
three drives, don't go your way. I don't even know if if you can
16:24
catch up with a backup at this point.
16:27
So am I falling for this? Yeah.
16:31
Hook, line and sinker, baby and it wouldn't surprise me if this
16:37
was like a pick em, but you know what he's not.
16:40
I got a feeling this line's going to move up.
16:44
But, yeah, get get in on it now if you want, because I think
16:47
this might actually hit. This could blow right through
16:49
four, I think once the Zarka injury kind of gets out there.
16:52
But, you know, impressed with what New Mexico's been doing,
16:55
man, and not impressed at all with what the Air Force defense
16:58
has been doing. So on the road, the only thing I
17:01
worry about in New Mexico, they turn the ball over like it's
17:05
it's got a disease of some sort. I mean, they've fumble 15 times.
17:08
They've lost 12 of them. That is horrible turnover luck.
17:12
That's the only thing that could derail this here.
17:14
But their pass offense is excellent.
17:16
Air Force's pass defense is terrible.
17:18
They're allowing teams to convert third down just over 50%
17:21
of the time, so I expect to pass.
17:24
Happy Lobos offense here. I I don't see where they're
17:26
going to have to run the ball too much and potentially fumble
17:29
again though. One unit though, because I would
17:33
have done 2. But something about this stinks.
17:35
I'll I'll figure it out 7:00 Saturday night when I watch but
17:39
a unit the lobos -3 1/2 over Air Force.
17:44
I'm digging it now. You sold me on that.
17:46
I mean, I, I thought both sides. So that total 55 1/2.
17:50
Now I thought both sides of that while you were talking, right?
17:52
My first thought was, so without their quarterback, is Air Force
17:56
going to score 10? And if they're going to score 10
17:59
is, are the Lobos going to score 45?
18:02
Then I go, what do I do with that?
18:03
Like, Nah, I don't know about that.
18:05
And if they're going to turn the ball over, is it an under like I
18:08
I you know, I think you might have talked me into the fact
18:12
that the Lobos might blow them out, right.
18:14
This could get, this could get ugly.
18:16
I mean, if that's true and what you say is true, yeah.
18:21
I mean, that's a great bet because I think this truly could
18:23
get ugly. You know, is it ugly over 55
18:27
1/2? I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I
18:30
don't know. I don't think so.
18:31
Actually, what you just told me would make me think this is
18:34
probably an under here where Air Force isn't going to score much
18:36
at all. The Lobos are going to win by, I
18:38
don't know, 25 points or something.
18:39
We'll call it a day. I mean, it could easily be one
18:42
of those games that would not be surprising.
18:45
Yeah. And do the Lobos just like try
18:47
and run clock in the third and fourth quarter?
18:49
And if so, can Air Force even stop them?
18:51
I mean. No, I mean first hand I would
18:55
think not. No.
18:57
Interesting. Yeah you pulled me in to be
19:00
falling for this too as well because everything you said now
19:02
is like this. This once again not jinxing us
19:05
but wow that seems like a no brainer.
19:07
I honestly think that injury may not be known by everybody
19:11
because obviously, you know, we're on the East Coast, out
19:13
West. Who's paying attention to the
19:15
Mountain West at any point during the year, especially now
19:18
with Boise State being not very good?
19:22
But it's Thursday afternoon as we're sitting here as the day
19:26
goes on, like we've already seen the juice on that 3 1/2 in the
19:30
Air Force start to go away. I I just think this should be
19:35
closer to 6 1/2, maybe even 7. I don't think it's going to get
19:38
there. But if this blows through 4 to 4
19:40
1/2 winds probably one bit. And I just didn't want to be on
19:42
that end because. No, that's a great, that's a
19:44
great bet. I think that's a bet.
19:46
That's a fantastic bet. Well, we'll find out because you
19:50
know, you and I sit here finally reaching positive units on the
19:53
air. There's certainly some kind of
19:54
game like this to screw us and and drop us back out.
19:56
And so we'll see how that goes. But anyway, let's get to the RPO
20:01
segment. I know Tim likes some types of
20:03
music, but I have so much crap on the screen I'm not even going
20:06
to run the risk of kicking one of us out of the room.
20:09
So. It feels like we should have
20:10
Christmas music while we're doing this, Just saying.
20:13
I have a tree that's the best I can look to see if there is
20:18
Christmas music we're. Good.
20:21
Yeah, I don't see any. So I mean, just sing amongst
20:24
yourselves. All right, we'll do the RPO
20:28
segment. A little short one this week
20:29
because the schedule. But anyway, so tonight's game,
20:35
there is one game tonight. It's not Mac related,
20:37
unfortunately, the Louisiana Raging Cajuns getting free at
20:41
Arkansas State, total of 53 1/2. Any thoughts on this at all?
20:46
Don't watch it, do something else.
20:50
Well, that's fair. The Bills and the Texans are on.
20:57
So I mean, I guess if you want to watch that, I I don't, I
21:00
didn't have a play on this. I mean, I, I had Western
21:03
Michigan Tuesday. I went on our YouTube home page
21:07
and I posted a few leans for last night.
21:09
And of course, because I didn't bet them, they both hit.
21:13
So I thought, yeah, well, maybe since we're on a little bit of a
21:15
roll, I can play Sutton here. I read two different things
21:19
about weather's not going to be a factor and it's going to pour
21:22
like there's no tomorrow. So obviously I looked
21:26
Louisiana's got a great running game.
21:27
If weather was going to be a factor, I would lean them.
21:30
Take the points. I would go the other way and
21:33
since I don't know because I don't live in Arkansas, I have
21:37
nothing to do with this game. Yeah, if it if weather's a
21:40
factor, almost always take the points.
21:42
If it's pouring, take the points.
21:44
Yeah, thought I put this one for Tim, but he's he's he's working.
21:48
So his favorite team of all time, Florida State Seminoles
21:51
laying 5 1/2 at NC State, total of 60 1/2.
21:54
Any thoughts here? I don't think it would lay
21:56
points with Florida State against anybody at this point
21:59
because I just don't trust them. They're just so volatile.
22:02
I just don't know what they're going to do from game to game.
22:04
So I wouldn't, I wouldn't never. I wouldn't touch that game with
22:06
anything. Agreed.
22:08
All right, Miami, the topic of college football ranking chaos,
22:13
laying 17 1/2 at the newly head coached with your boy James
22:18
Franklin, Virginia Tech, total of 48 1/2.
22:22
Any thoughts on this one? Yeah, I mean, Miami laying those
22:28
points, I would lay those points.
22:30
James Franklin thing, what a great hire for that program.
22:34
Agreed. I mean, I beat up James
22:36
Franklin, but I beat up James Franklin because he was in the
22:39
Big 10 at a premier program. And but I I always said the man
22:44
can recruit. He just would have some gaffes
22:47
at points and games that I did not quite understand.
22:52
But recently he's been better. It seems like he's gotten better
22:55
with those things, but his recruiting has been phenomenal.
22:59
You put him at this program. Look out.
23:01
I mean, if he can continue that, he is going to turn that program
23:05
into a powerhouse in that conference.
23:08
And so that is a fantastic hire. I truly thought he would end up
23:12
at a better program than that. Not that I'm beating up BOTAC,
23:15
but I, I, I mean, I was, I joked about it what, a couple weeks
23:17
ago on this thing that I, I wasn't really joking.
23:20
I thought he could end up in a place like Florida State and,
23:22
and I still think in the future he could, but this is a good
23:25
place for him to land right now. This is a great hire for them,
23:28
so hats off to the program. Go get them James.
23:30
Kick some butt, man, That's great.
23:32
Yeah, and if you're interested in futures bets for next season,
23:36
there's already one out there. The Virginia Tech win total
23:39
slightly juiced at plus money, 7 1/2 if you believe half of Penn
23:44
State's going to enter the transfer portal when their
23:46
season ends and go to Virginia Tech.
23:50
But I, I wouldn't. I already bet an early future
23:53
last year with Bill Belichick over 7 1/2.
23:55
We all know how that worked out. So.
23:57
But like you said, I agree, great hire.
24:00
He's still close enough to that Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC,
24:03
Virginia area where he will have just as good a shot at getting
24:08
the best talent as Penn State would.
24:10
So I mean, yeah, like you said, dude can recruit.
24:14
And I'm curious to see how many Penn State players that he got
24:21
to go there. Follow him this December to go
24:25
over there. So definitely something to look
24:26
at. But yeah, I wouldn't.
24:27
I would lay the points of Miami as well.
24:28
I agree with you here. Arkansas getting 9 1/2 at Texas
24:33
total 58 1/2. Any thoughts here are you?
24:43
Thinking talk about that. No worries, they just nailed on
24:45
me. OK, Are you Internet list now?
24:54
Are you there? Are you?
24:56
There Hi yeah, my, my, my headphones just completely
24:58
crapped out on me so I'm back I'm good I was just.
25:01
Asking what you thought about Texas laying 9 1/2 against
25:03
Arkansas with a total OH. God, I got all kinds of thoughts
25:06
on that. What did I talk about two weeks
25:07
ago? First of all, Texas can't beat
25:08
Georgia. They never will beat Georgia.
25:10
Georgia's a better team, and they always get out.
25:12
They always get out strategized. There's, there's.
25:15
That'll never happen. They can play 100 times, they'll
25:17
lose 100 times. It doesn't matter.
25:19
I'm done with Texas. I would take those points all
25:22
day long. I think that program is just,
25:25
they need to, they need to, they need to make a change.
25:27
That's not working. They've peaked.
25:29
It ain't going any higher than it is, unfortunately.
25:32
I hate to say Sark needs to go and they need to make a they
25:34
need to make a change. Sadly, not what I expected would
25:37
happen there, but yeah, they've, they've just completely
25:41
flatlined, unfortunately. So yeah, I would take that.
25:43
I would take those points. Yeah, I wouldn't touch this one.
25:47
I can't. Like you said, I, you know, now
25:49
that the ranks are out, Texas is pretty much out.
25:52
Do they still try and make a case for themselves and if they
25:54
can run it up, do they? On Arkansas's defense, you
25:57
certainly could. But yeah, I I can't trust Texas
26:01
at this point. I mean, guy, you couldn't even
26:03
beat Florida, for God's sakes, and you look terrible getting
26:05
beat in the process. So I agree with you man.
26:08
Very anti Texas this year. Another 9 1/2 point spread in
26:12
the SEC Kentucky playing some inspired football getting 9 1/2
26:17
at Vanderbilt. Total of 52 1/2.
26:20
Thought to hear well. I mean, if we just play off our
26:25
Texas thing, Vanderbilt played Texas pretty close.
26:28
If we think Texas is not very good, then what does that say
26:31
about Vanderbilt? So that means that that 9 1/2
26:35
looks a little enticing since Kentucky has been playing some
26:38
inspired football. So I don't like that line and a
26:42
half like that little hook on that thing right there, that 9
26:44
1/2. So that's pretty enticing to me.
26:46
I I could be compelled to take those points right there.
26:50
I would take it. I mean, I would hold out and see
26:51
if maybe you get 10, but 9 1/2 looks good, man.
26:54
Kentucky back-to-back weeks, even that Texas game when we
26:56
were in Central Florida, they're watching that.
26:59
They played good, man. They must want Stoops to stick
27:02
around. Agreed.
27:04
Agreed. No, I don't, I wouldn't mind
27:06
that 9 1/2 at all. I agree with you there.
27:09
All right, this one's here for you, man.
27:10
I'm I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
27:12
A couple of running back injuries and never know what
27:16
you're going to get. Bryce Underwood LED Michigan
27:19
Marines laying 2 touchdowns at Maryland 46 1/2.
27:23
I'll sit back and let you ran. I pre empted this a few weeks
27:28
ago with the fact that I see a quarterback that's not being
27:31
developed. I still see a quarterback that's
27:34
not being developed that concerns me.
27:38
Laying 14 points for this team is a no no bueno for me.
27:42
It's just I don't trust them to even score 14 points at times.
27:47
Yes they can. I mean they could come out at
27:49
any point and score 30 would not be a problem, but they don't
27:54
seem to be able to do anything with any consistency.
27:57
They can't run the ball with consistency, they can't throw
27:59
the ball with any consistency, they can't not turn the ball
28:03
over with any. There's nothing they do with any
28:05
consistency. Hell even the defense which is
28:08
generally good is not consistently good.
28:12
Just this team is not consistent with anything they do for the
28:15
most part. The defense being the closest
28:17
thing to consistent, but on the offensive side of the ball.
28:20
Yeah, I, I, I think we are really starting to see the
28:24
coaching be a problem here. This is what happens when you
28:29
hire a second tier coach at a premier program.
28:33
That's, that's just what happens to you.
28:35
You can't, you can't just hire an assistant because he was, you
28:38
know, BFFS with the with the with the premier coach and keep
28:42
them on. This is what happens.
28:43
So they're going to have to make a tough decision at Michigan
28:46
sometime soon because this is not working out that we're at
28:49
you can't let this program slip back to be far behind OSU again.
28:52
OSU is going to pound them. We it's time they're due.
28:57
If we're due to get pounded, they're going to get pounded.
29:00
They should get pounded. But yeah, I I just I'm not
29:03
seeing I am not very pleased that the direction of this
29:06
program said no. I would I would not touch this
29:09
game for anything for any reason.
29:12
Under over points nothing. I'm out.
29:15
I agree. You know, we talk about the
29:17
coach bump, you know, when a coach gets fired and and teams
29:20
usually play really well after that.
29:23
Maryland Twitter has wanted Mike Locksley gone all season long.
29:27
They came out last week and said they're keeping him.
29:29
So I guess we'll see if the players are pro Mike Locksley or
29:32
not. We're going to speak about that.
29:35
An actor. I want nothing to do with this
29:37
game either. So I know you'll watch it 'cause
29:40
that's your squad. But yeah, I I wouldn't touch
29:44
this with Tim's money, you know? So, yeah, I agree totally.
29:48
Game that is very interesting battle for for a potential spot
29:52
in the ACC title game here. Georgia Tech looks like they
29:55
have a spot. Why they don't trip up.
29:57
They are at home laying 2 1/2 to Pittsburgh, total of 61 1/2.
30:02
What do you think here? Yeah, I I like the home team.
30:05
I like Georgia Tech at home here.
30:06
I think they're gonna protect that home field they've looked
30:09
good of of late, I think. Yeah, I think they're in a good
30:12
position here. Right place, right time.
30:14
They look good. Yeah.
30:15
I, I, I would lay that 2 1/2 all day.
30:17
I. Agree.
30:18
I did see some articles that are like, oh, give Pittsburgh a
30:21
look. But yeah, they benched Holstein.
30:23
Their other quarterbacks played well.
30:24
Still a freshman though. This may be a little a little
30:28
too much to ask for him here, especially at under a field
30:31
goal. So yeah, I agree, I expect lots
30:32
of points I would lean over, but I would also lean Georgia Tech
30:36
as well to get this done. Agreed.
30:39
Tennessee, Joey Aguilar and the Volunteers laying fours, they go
30:43
to Florida total of 57 1/2. I don't know, if you looked at
30:47
the Florida injury report, it's basically like 1/3 of an actual
30:50
college football team. So as long as this doesn't go to
30:54
4 1/2, I would play Tennessee here if I had to as this was the
30:58
third game I crossed off. But then I remembered betting
31:01
Florida games this year I'm O and four.
31:04
However, betting Vanderbilt games I'm four and O but I left
31:06
that alone as well. So I would take Tennessee and
31:09
probably be wrong because I can't figure out Florida for the
31:11
life of me. But yeah, I, I, I would take the
31:16
balls. Here I I can't figure out
31:19
Tennessee for the life of me. I mean, they're they're they're
31:21
the good team that just can't sometimes they they they baffle
31:25
me. I mean, Florida, yeah, coach
31:27
gone. That whole thing.
31:28
Half the team is injured. I wouldn't expect them to win
31:30
this game. I mean, this should be to me.
31:33
Lay the points. Tennessee all day long, you
31:35
would think so that I would think, I would think Tennessee
31:38
should win this game. Lay the points are great, but
31:41
you know, sometimes they come out and they lose when they
31:43
shouldn't. So I don't.
31:44
I don't know. I'm baffled.
31:45
But yeah, I mean I would be inclined to lay the points. 57
31:48
1/2 seems kind of high for a team with no offense like
31:51
Florida, but that's probably a statement of how bad Tennessee's
31:54
defense is. But.
31:55
Exactly. I I would avoid this all.
31:57
And from his jail cell, released after stealing a helicopter back
32:02
in his own home while he's waiting for charges.
32:05
Tim, welcome, buddy. How you doing?
32:07
Hey, what I miss only like. 90% of the show, but I've got your
32:13
slides up here. We can, after we do this last
32:16
RPO segment, we'll pull up your three games and you can drop a
32:19
little knowledge for us here. Actually don't.
32:24
I may have to. I may have to dart out of here
32:26
and like, who knows, I could get a phone call at any second.
32:30
I may have to jump right back out.
32:31
But we can keep going with the RPO if you'd like.
32:36
So we'll let you kick it off in case you got a jet.
32:38
Your BYU Cougars team that you have a futures bet on winning
32:42
the conference, laying 2 1/2 at Cincinnati, total of 54 1/2.
32:45
What do you think? I'm actually liking the under
32:49
here. But as always, room for BYU.
32:52
This will put them in the championship game.
32:55
Then we'll start hopefully collecting on some of some more
32:57
futures bets. So yeah, I like, I like the
33:00
under, but I like BYU. Yeah, I've I've been bashing BYU
33:04
every time I do. They kick somebody's ass so
33:06
well. Keep bashing them please.
33:08
Well, no, I actually like him this week as well, but I won't
33:10
say that because, you know, then since then I win by like 20.
33:14
So we don't need that for your futures.
33:15
Pet Pete, what do you think? Also like BYU here, I think it's
33:19
a good, good play. Any thoughts on your team this
33:21
week? Tim, we just talked about FSU a
33:23
few minutes ago. What do you think?
33:25
Yeah, I don't know if that picture is still up there, but.
33:29
We got to put the picture up there.
33:30
You're. Still walking Florida State any
33:32
of the last two seasons. Yeah, so there we are.
33:37
That's that'll be meet by halftime.
33:40
Hey, look, it's a Friday night game on the road at NC State,
33:45
Virginia or Virginia Tech. Yeah, we're probably going to
33:47
lose. So, you know, same as it ever
33:50
was. Not expecting a loss but you
33:54
know, just another Rd. Game, you know, on a Thursday or
33:59
Friday, so. That's a nice coat, by the way,
34:03
from like the 1981 season or whatever that you're you're
34:06
rocking in that picture. That's great.
34:08
Parson jacket 82. I love it.
34:10
Yeah, like if MC Hammer made another video he would have that
34:13
with magic pants or something. I have no idea how it's it's a
34:15
beautiful. I actually have the matching
34:17
pants so I know. You do.
34:18
You're probably wearing them now, but I.
34:21
Will save them for that video. Yeah, it's.
34:23
Great. All right, let's recap our picks
34:25
on this. Not so impressive slate of game.
34:28
So Pete, you got a Friday game, so kick us off.
34:32
Dude, I do. I love my Rainbow Warriors this
34:34
year. Anytime I can bet them, I'm
34:36
betting them. So Hawaii, UNLV, over 64 1/2,
34:39
one unit. I also have Missouri and
34:41
Oklahoma. Oklahoma's been looking good.
34:43
So I don't have that number really low to me.
34:46
So over 41 1/2, Nebraska, Penn State, because I have Nebraska,
34:50
I've got that futures bet. So we're going Nebraska, Penn
34:52
State under 44 1/2. Jimmy.
34:57
I'm still trying to figure out how U mass scored 14 points the
35:01
other night. But anyway I've got James
35:03
Madison, Washington State over 42 1/2.
35:06
I got 2 unit play on Louisville SMU over 53 1/2 and USC Oregon
35:12
over 59 1/2. I took a page out of Pete's
35:14
playbook. I'm just doing overs this week.
35:19
I feel like I should I should do some too.
35:21
We just won't give out any sides anymore for the rest of the
35:24
year. That's fine.
35:26
I I started off with a little Western Michigan going down 13.
35:29
Nothing me being very upset, but then they remembered that they
35:34
were a lot better in northern only.
35:35
I put up like 35 straight. Thanks a little DK boost.
35:39
We got a little plus money on that.
35:40
So they did cover and I picked 2 horrible, horrible games that
35:45
nobody would watch except me. Louisiana Tech on the money line
35:49
holding the home fields minus one O 8 over Liberty and the
35:54
trap game of the week that Pete and I sat here and talked
35:58
ourselves into. No, Mexico laying 3 1/2 over the
36:02
Zarkalis Air Force. Yeah, it was a rough slate, man.
36:10
We, we discussed this earlier. It was it was it was bad.
