What's up guys? Welcome to Conference
0:04
Championship weekend. This is targeting winners 8
0:07
college football betting podcast I am Darren, joined as always by
0:11
Tim MP. Tim, how are we doing today?
0:14
I'm doing good, still licking my wounds from rivalry weekend.
0:19
Well, you still have a long way to go before you match my 2020.
0:22
Fewer futility, so I don't feel bad.
0:25
How are you doing, man? Well, you know, after last
0:28
weekend, which was not not surprising at all, I'm I'm doing
0:31
OK. So I was just hoping to be
0:34
searching for a coach ourselves this week and unfortunately we
0:37
are not. So I with Michigan, we're a
0:39
little conservative. We have to wait to really suck
0:42
before we actually fire somebody.
0:43
So by about mid next season, we'll be lamenting the fact that
0:47
that Jackass is still here. But until then, here we are.
0:50
I do see your special teams coach was let go.
0:53
So I mean, you know, it's. Yeah, great.
0:54
Yeah, Yeah, he was, he was the problem.
0:56
He he was definitely the problem, not the fact that we
0:58
have virtually no talent at the skill position because he can't
1:02
recruit anybody. That's not the problem at all.
1:04
That's. All his fault.
1:05
It's all his special teams fault.
1:07
All right, guys, we're going to talk about a few things here.
1:10
First, we're going to clean up a little bit of housekeeping.
1:12
First of all, we know we have some podcast listeners from
1:15
Missouri. And if you're a resident of the
1:17
Show ME State, congratulations. Welcome to sports betting.
1:20
As of December 1st, you can suffer with the rest of them.
1:23
There you go. Applause to Missouri.
1:26
So yeah, if this is your first time joining us, you're looking
1:28
for some little bit of info on college football.
1:31
Welcome. If you've been listening to us
1:32
all, now you can. Now you can blow some money like
1:35
we do. Second thing, for the third year
1:38
in a row, we are running a bowl game pick em contest through
1:42
ESPN. It's their Capital One Bowl
1:44
Mania pick em contest is set up. We got a couple of you in there
1:48
already. Basically, you're going to pick
1:49
every bowl game against the spread.
1:51
Once that schedule comes out, the lines come out.
1:53
ESPN does not change them. You just need to make sure you
1:56
get your pick in before the kick off of each particular game.
2:00
Probably going to throw at least a couple $100 in there depending
2:03
on how many people show up and sign up.
2:06
Usually we just it's winner take all, but if we get enough
2:08
people, maybe we'll play second, maybe 3rd.
2:11
I'm going to put the link is up. If you're part of the Facebook
2:13
group, you check it there. If you check out our YouTube
2:15
home page, it is there on the post tab and I will also put a
2:19
link to the contest in the description.
2:22
It's private. The password is TW2025I don't
2:25
think you need that. If you click the link, but sign
2:28
in, join up, it's free. You get to win Tim's money
2:30
because you know he's the one with the profitable only fans
2:33
account. So that's where it all comes
2:34
from. But yeah, sure.
2:38
Yeah, I mean, whatever pays the bills, right?
2:43
All right, so before we get into the nine games, guys, I don't
2:46
know if you'd noticed this or not, but there was one or two
2:49
coaching changes on Sunday, a couple dozen.
2:54
I mean, some of them within like minutes of each other.
2:57
We're not going to get into them all here because that's that's
3:00
another show for for the offseason.
3:02
And Tim actually put out a video with Mark from
3:04
coacheshotseat.com where they went over some of those
3:06
openings. The thought process by and
3:09
keeping a guy by and firing a guy.
3:10
Have some video. Check it out if you get a
3:12
chance. All right, guys, we've gone
3:14
through them. You know, you've seen them all.
3:17
Pete, we'll start with you. What is your favorite hire so
3:21
far and why? Well, I mean, we talked about
3:24
James Franklin already, which I think was a really good one, but
3:26
that happened before this weekend.
3:28
All right. So to me, I think, I think Pat
3:31
Fitzgerald that Michigan State is really interesting, right?
3:34
So I, I think the Big 10 is served well by Michigan State
3:38
being at least serviceable, if not better than serviceable.
3:41
I mean, the writing was on the wall for a while that Jonathan
3:43
Smith was going to be out, right.
3:44
No surprise there. You know, Pat Fitzgerald, a guy
3:48
that knows the Big 10 did a did a good job at Northwestern.
3:52
Obviously with the, you know, stuff that happened there,
3:55
which, you know, in retrospect, with the, you know, with the
3:57
hazing, the stuff that happened and all that, it turns out in
3:59
retrospect that he didn't know what was going on.
4:01
At least he was cleared of knowing what's happening.
4:03
So it looks like he was in the clear, at least I hope he was.
4:08
But I think he will do a good job at Michigan State.
4:10
It's a good place for him to land.
4:11
It's a good program or can be a good program.
4:14
And they showed this in the past.
4:15
So, yeah, I mean, I think he can do well.
4:18
I mean, it was funny. We were talking about it,
4:19
Darren. Like that name popped up
4:21
immediately. I mean, it was like that was
4:23
ready to go. It's it's it's not a big
4:25
surprise to me. It it fits the profile of who
4:28
that team is. So, so yeah, I think it makes a
4:31
heck of a lot of sense for them. I mean, they didn't give
4:34
Jonathan Smith a chance. I mean, that was another to me,
4:37
that was their rich rod at Sparty.
4:39
It's like they just never gave the guy a chance and they could
4:41
bring in a guy from outside the conference and it just never, it
4:44
never had traction. So whatever, that's fine.
4:46
But yeah, I think I think that could work out well, at least to
4:50
stabilize things that that program's been a mess for a
4:53
while now. So if nothing else, I think
4:55
they'll stabilize the program, get things under control, you
4:58
know, so I think they're going to start winning nine games
4:59
anytime soon. I do not, but I but I do think
5:02
they can be a serviceable program.
5:03
So for that program, I like that higher.
5:07
I think it's a good one. Dan, what's your favorite?
5:10
Well, I mean, it's real easy to, you know, to pick the obvious
5:14
one that sent shockwaves through the coaching, the coach, the
5:18
college football world, if you will.
5:20
I mean, obviously I'm talking about Jim Mora to Colorado
5:22
State, but I'm not going to talk about that one because there was
5:26
someone named Norville fired, but not the one everyone thought
5:28
that it was. Jay Norville.
5:31
My favorite is also a good qualifier is my least favorite
5:36
because of where he went. But John Sumrall to Florida, I
5:39
think he was the best group of five coach available to and the
5:43
fact that he's might actually make Florida good makes me sick
5:49
to my stomach a little bit. But I really, as I covered in
5:53
the coaching episode, you can go back and check it on YouTube.
5:55
Ding So but yeah, it's my favorite.
6:00
Could be my least favorite. At the same time, yeah, he might
6:04
do good things. Or Florida.
6:05
And that, that upsets me greatly.
6:10
Well, there, there was, there was, there was about 5 or 6 that
6:12
I actually did like. But I think when I looked at
6:14
everything together, I think James Franklin is actually still
6:17
my favorite one just from a recruiting standpoint.
6:21
He's familiar with that area of the country.
6:23
I mean, say what you want about him, the guy did win.
6:26
I mean, you always talk about Penn State being contended for
6:29
the Big 10 title. You know, they did get to the
6:31
final four in the initial 12 team playoff.
6:35
And Tim, I was talking with you on the phone the other night.
6:37
What's the big knock on him? Well dude can't beat the top
6:39
five or top ten team. I don't know if anybody's
6:41
checked the. ACC.
6:44
He's certainly going to the right conference if he's looking
6:47
to avoid top ten team because the ACC does not have any.
6:51
So you can strike that from from the knock against him.
6:54
Even today, signing day was yesterday.
6:57
He took a ton of early commits to Penn State and flipped them
7:00
over to him. I think the portal opens on
7:03
January 2nd. He's probably going to get some
7:05
more Penn State players to come and join him and we all know
7:08
that team's bad as their record was, there's still a lot of
7:11
talent on that squad. So everything considered, he
7:15
eeks out some of the other guys I had written down as my
7:18
favorite. So I'm going to I'm going to
7:20
stick with with our boy big game.
7:22
James. Tim, we'll start with you.
7:24
If you have a different one than some are all that you hated or
7:28
don't like for a certain program, what which one is that?
7:32
Well, I mean, yeah, obviously the one I already said, the one
7:36
that you were just talking about, as well as that makes
7:38
Virginia Tech good, that also affects the Florida State a
7:41
little bit. So I really don't like that too
7:42
much. But if it does, maybe get some
7:44
more coaches to come to the ACC and make the conference better
7:47
as a whole, because I don't think any teams going anywhere,
7:52
just not one I don't see, one that I really just hate.
7:55
Another one that I kind of like, this addition by subtraction,
7:58
would be Auburn, get rid of Hugh Freeze.
8:00
So we'll see what the goal is like does over there in Auburn,
8:05
but I can't think one that I really hate, you know, 'cause
8:10
they haven't really done anything yet.
8:12
But yeah, if I had to pick another one to hate, it would be
8:15
James Franklin making that good. So that's.
8:18
Right. If Florida State is good, they
8:23
could. Really, it's another team that's
8:25
going to beat Florida State. That's the only.
8:26
Reason. Yeah.
8:27
So, you know, I think. What's the one?
8:29
What's the one you don't like? And before I say that, I mean,
8:32
you mentioned Jim Mora. I thought that was a pretty good
8:34
hire for that program as well. I mean, I think he'll he'll
8:36
stabilize that program. I think he'll do a good job
8:38
there. So that was a good that was a
8:39
good hire. The two that I just don't quite
8:41
think are going to do anything, Stanford, DaVita Pritchard, that
8:44
guy wasn't getting a coaching job anywhere else.
8:46
So I don't know what where that's going at all.
8:49
I mean, that was the only place that guy was going to get a
8:50
coaching job. So I don't I don't know what
8:52
that is that that I think is a dud.
8:54
And then Oregon State going with Jamarcus Shepard.
8:57
Hell, they could have got Jonathan Smith back.
9:00
I mean, who did a great job. Then why not go bring him back?
9:02
I mean, that doesn't make any sense at all to me when you
9:04
could have got Jonathan back. So that that one I don't get.
9:07
But those are the two that I just a bit a bit baffle me, but
9:10
those are that those two. Yeah, no, I agree with that.
9:14
The one I didn't like, I wasn't thrilled with the whole way that
9:18
Arkansas kind of handled everything they did.
9:22
Like somebody leaked out early last week that they had gotten
9:26
goalish and then goalish came out last Friday and was like,
9:29
that didn't come from me or any of my people, you know?
9:32
Then goalish goes to goes to Auburn.
9:35
And then I feel like they kind of just settled on Ryan
9:39
Silverfield from Memphis. I mean, yeah, I mean, you won at
9:42
Memphis. That's great.
9:43
But in all those years there, you never won a conference
9:45
title. It's not like the American was
9:47
loaded with high quality teams top to bottom.
9:51
Then again, Hunter Eurocheck is their AD.
9:53
If you've watched him on the college football rankings show,
9:56
you know, he's a complete tool. So I mean, it doesn't really
9:58
surprise me, but yeah, I I wasn't a fan of that one at all.
10:04
I don't know who he's going to get to follow him.
10:05
Taylen Green is supposedly out of eligibility, so I don't know
10:09
who he's going to, you know, what he's doing at the
10:11
quarterback position. I mean, obviously between now
10:14
and the portal opening, a lot can change with these rosters.
10:17
But yeah, I just think how that was handled I think already kind
10:23
of sets it up for for kind of felt like he was like the fourth
10:25
or fifth choice and that's who they got.
10:29
And I'm not so sure he's going to succeed there, at least not
10:31
initially. But we didn't, we didn't, we
10:34
didn't mention Lane Kiffin, which was a foregone A
10:37
conclusion for a while, right? So, yeah, yeah.
10:41
While I was driving, I was listening to Colin Coward and he
10:46
had Joel Klatt on, I believe who's and he's not like a Skip
10:49
Bayless, Stephen A Smith type. He kind of like more.
10:53
He was meant talking about the Penn State opening and he was
10:57
saying that one of the reasons that they haven't had a coach
11:00
yet is that that coach is still coaching and he went through the
11:05
process of elimination. Now here's the scenario he he
11:08
mentioned, he says he has no proof of this, but I want this
11:12
to happen is that he thinks that one, one of the coaches Penn
11:16
State may be going after, we've got Manny Diaz, Caitlin de Boer.
11:21
So could you see a scenario where Caitlin de Boer takes the
11:25
Penn State job? Alabama comes open Lane Kiffin 2
11:30
weeks over there to Alabama. I want that to happen so bad,
11:35
no? Not, not going to rain on your
11:37
parade, but de Boer already came out today and said he's got no
11:39
interest in the Penn State job. Nobody's contacted him.
11:42
His people haven't reached out to them, so I don't think that's
11:45
going to happen. He's.
11:47
Going to pray on it like Glenn Kiffin did before.
11:49
No, we're not praying. Maybe he's some kind of devil
11:52
worshiper. I have no idea, but maybe he.
11:54
Cranks up the White Zombie always tell the truth.
11:57
I mean, maybe he just cranks up the White Zombie and lets the
11:59
the voices in his head tell him what to.
12:01
Who knows. Apparently the two odds on
12:03
favorite are the guy currently coaching them right now, whose
12:07
name escapes me, and our boy Ray's favorite head coach of all
12:11
time, Brian Dayball, apparently are the 2.
12:13
Great. Yeah, I heard that.
12:15
From you. So we'll see how that goes.
12:18
All right, but enough about that.
12:19
We're going to have a whole show on that once all these vacancies
12:22
get filled, probably sometime in February or early March or
12:26
whatever. But we're all here for one
12:28
reason. Well, nine reasons actually.
12:30
So Tim, I'm assuming you have these in chronological order.
12:34
We've got bets like. I think I have.
12:38
Well, you've got 8 and then you have BYU to win the conference.
12:41
That's the only game you didn't bet on.
12:43
Well, technically I did, but yeah.
12:45
That's what I'm saying. Not today.
12:47
So get it going, man. All right.
12:51
First one, we got Conference USA, Jacksonville State, the
12:55
line opened at Jack's 8 -, a point and a half they're
12:59
actually getting. It's shifted over to the last
13:01
time I checked on Hard Rock, they were getting 2 1/2.
13:04
I got them just money line to win this game.
13:09
They do have a rushing advantage and the turnover favor.
13:14
This is something we're looking for, the turnovers.
13:16
This game is actually played in Alabama.
13:17
This is one of those better record gets the home field
13:23
turnover advantage is +9 to a -, 2.
13:26
So that's going to be, I'm thinking a couple extra
13:28
possessions for Jacksonville State.
13:31
The edge on special teams, I guess are slightly better for
13:34
Kennesaw, but I'm that's not going to I'd rather have the
13:38
turnover differential than the kicking game advantage.
13:42
I think Kennesaw State will keep it interesting.
13:45
I think it's going to be a one score game, so I'm looking at it
13:48
and I think it's going to be something like, you know, 2724
13:51
or something. But I think Jacksonville State
13:53
can actually pull this one out here and so I went with that on
13:56
the money line. I got plus 115 Jack State to win
13:59
Conference USA. You got it.
14:07
Yeah, I like it. I mean, I looked over under 58
14:09
1/2. I looked at it.
14:10
You know, I think the score might be a little more than
14:12
that, but I like where you're going with that.
14:14
So, and I was considering the over on this play on this thing.
14:17
I didn't pull the trigger on it, but I did consider it because I
14:20
think there's going to be some scoring here.
14:22
So I do, I do like your bet. I think this is going to be an
14:26
offensive forward offense forward game.
14:29
I would not be surprised. It's a bit of a shootout here,
14:31
so it should be kind of fun. That 58 1/2 is not absurdly
14:34
high, especially for a game like this.
14:35
So I think this is a very achievable number.
14:39
And so that's what I think. So I was leaning on this over
14:41
said I didn't play it, but I would not be surprised at all
14:44
this thing went over. So those are my thoughts.
14:46
I, I, I got a strong lean to the over as well.
14:48
Kennesaw State, man, they play with some serious tempo.
14:51
If, if you're, if you're a Mac guy from back in the day when
14:53
Sean Lewis ran the Kent State Golden Flashes and they ran a
14:56
play like every second and a half.
14:59
It's basically Kennesaw State is almost kind of the same thing.
15:03
Two decent quarterbacks. This could be.
15:06
I got a feeling this is this is going to be in the mid 60s, but
15:09
I didn't bet it either. Totals aren't really my thing,
15:12
but just looking at pace of play, yeah, Kennesaw State's
15:15
going to run these boys up and and Jacksonville State's going
15:19
to have to do everything they can to keep up, and I think they
15:21
will. But yeah, seriously into the
15:24
over on this one. Interesting.
15:29
Well, should we just keep on going?
15:30
Run right through. Absolutely all.
15:32
Right. What we got now we got James
15:35
Madison and Troy. You guys have any thoughts on
15:37
this game? You just want me to just keep on
15:38
running. You guys only put in a couple
15:40
bets. I thought we were betting on all
15:41
of them. That's why I just went ahead and
15:43
looked into these for. Yeah, why would we ever force a
15:46
bet just to have a bet on every game?
15:47
I hope Troy wins because Pete's got them in the future to win
15:50
the Sunbelt. So I'm exactly.
15:53
That's what I. Do I don't care how much learned
15:56
on Troy is I'm pulling for Troy? OK, well, money.
15:59
Line, Troy. That's the bet here.
16:01
Go for it. Come on, Troy.
16:04
Well, I did not bet on a on a winner here.
16:06
I did bet. I took a, went to the Pete
16:08
playbook. The over under was 47 1/2.
16:13
I mean, just by looking at the points per game, I mean James
16:16
Madison, they're averaging in the 30s and Troy's averaging in
16:19
the mid to high 20s. So just right there.
16:21
But I also like the third down efficiency for James Madison or
16:27
they stay on the field an awful lot.
16:29
I think Troy's defense bulls, I think it's going to struggle a
16:34
little bit because James Madison's a little more
16:37
balanced. I think that Troy can still
16:39
reach, you know, about 20 to 25 points.
16:43
I think James Madison will take the ticket from there.
16:46
So I like this. I like James Madison probably
16:49
getting into the 30s by themselves, like 30-5, maybe
16:51
even 38 on this. So, and I was originally looked
16:54
at it before I looked at the lines.
16:56
I was thinking the overrunner would have been like 56 or
16:58
something, and I thought it was 47.
17:00
So that's when I really looked into it.
17:02
And yeah, so I think look at it this way.
17:05
I'm getting about eight points in this and I probably, if it
17:09
was still in the 50s, I'd probably still bet the over.
17:11
So I'm going to bet the over at 47 1/2, Darren.
17:18
I'm, I'm obviously pulling for you, but I don't know how Troy's
17:22
going to even score 14 points in this game.
17:24
I mean, Goose Crowder is supposedly back working his way
17:27
back from an injury. James Madison's defense is
17:29
legit, but they could certainly get into the 40s on their own
17:32
here. But yeah, I just, I I want Troy
17:37
to win for the sake of Pete's futures bet.
17:39
But this is going to, this might be the the ugliest game of the
17:43
weekend. I, I, I fear for Troy.
17:46
Plus, I mean, James Madison, they need some style points.
17:48
I mean, if they want to, you know, if they want to get into
17:51
the into the 12 team, it would not hurt them to to put a
17:56
whooping on if the opportunity presents itself.
17:58
But yeah, I wouldn't touch this game vote.
18:02
Troy. Yeah, exactly.
18:04
But yeah, in summary, absolutely go Troy.
18:07
Absolutely. Troy.
18:09
So any final thoughts, Peter, other than go Troy?
18:14
No, just go, Troy. OK, All right, the ACT.
18:21
Anybody else got a bet on this one?
18:23
Is it just me again going solo? Yeah, I'm going too, but you can
18:26
go first. Oh, OK.
18:28
For this one, I got North Texas that are giving up two and a
18:32
half. They are a scoring machine.
18:35
I like how both coaches seem to be sticking around for this
18:38
game. So they're not going to.
18:40
I guess with the Power 5 going up, it's not a big deal as you
18:42
know, going to one of your rivals into another different
18:46
conference. So yeah, I think Tulane's going
18:49
to struggle to keep up with the offense a little bit.
18:52
I think 2 1/2, if it was 3 1/2, I might have a difference.
18:56
But yeah, I'm expecting some big, big plays, fast scoring and
19:00
even on the road, I think North Texas can cover this.
19:03
They are 10 and two against the spread this year.
19:05
I just like the way it's thinking.
19:07
And yeah, over under is pretty enticing as well.
19:11
Be I'm I'm guessing you bet on that.
19:13
So let me have it. What you got?
19:15
Indeed I did. I agree with you what you said.
19:17
There's going to be some scoring total of 66 1/2 that I got.
19:20
You got 67 1/2 on a slide, but I got 66 1/2.
19:23
Yeah, there's going to be some scoring for sure.
19:25
North Texas is going to light it up.
19:26
I think Tulane is going to try to light it up along with them.
19:29
I think you can get a bit of a shootout here, which you know,
19:31
happens in these championship games quite a bit other than the
19:34
SEC and such. So we'll talk about that later.
19:37
But yeah, I expect there's going to be some scoring and
19:40
especially in a game like this, some late game aggression if
19:43
it's close. So they're going to be flinging
19:45
a ball around. I think it's going to, I think
19:47
we're going to see a lot of a lot of touchdowns here.
19:49
So explosive plays on both sides could be fun to watch.
19:52
The total is high, but it's not ridiculous.
19:54
I mean, easily, I mean, I can see 30s on both sides.
19:57
I could easily see this thing going over.
19:59
So once again, it could be a fun game to watch.
20:01
It's in obviously it's in New Orleans.
20:03
The weather is not a factor. I mean, so it's it's set up to
20:06
be a shootout. You got one team that's
20:08
definitely going to score North Texas.
20:10
So and and Tulane can I've watched them do it this year.
20:13
So I expect that they will try to do so as well.
20:15
So could be a fun game and I am going on the over here of 66
20:20
1/2. So those are my thoughts.
20:24
I agree with everything you guys said.
20:25
Nothing to add over then enjoy Drew Mestenmaker before he goes
20:28
to Oklahoma State with Eric Morris and leads them to a three
20:32
and nine season next year. I like the North Texas play.
20:36
Yeah. I don't know Tulane can score.
20:38
I don't know if they can keep up, man.
20:40
I mean they're. Going to try.
20:42
Like on a different level, it seems you've never thought I'd
20:44
be saying that about anybody in the in the American.
20:47
But yeah, I like North Texas to win and cover here.
20:52
OK oh and you guys with me on this one.
20:56
I got the Mountain West. I am not on that one.
21:00
All right, well. You are but not into Go UNLV
21:06
another one of futures bets for. Pete.
21:09
To win this game. Yeah.
21:11
All right. Well, Boise State taking on
21:13
UNLV, it's going to be cold and rainy conditions at home.
21:16
It's going to be city rain throughout the night.
21:19
The passing edge for UNLV is going to be diminished a little
21:23
bit by by that. I think boys are taking control
21:25
of the clock. They got to the good ground
21:27
game. It'll be fewer big plays.
21:30
There still be a couple, but there's not going to be a lot
21:32
more. If it were a clear, you know,
21:34
Army 40° or something like that, this is going to be probably
21:37
about 33° with steady rain at kickoff.
21:41
I did double check what the weather is like in Nevada since
21:46
we were there in the winter time before a few years ago, Pete.
21:49
And yeah, it was kind of cold there.
21:52
It's all 60s all week, so it's like a 30° difference with the
21:55
slick rain and everything. I think that will play a factor
21:59
in this instead of betting on the line.
22:03
I got the under of 58 1/2, opened up at 57 1/2, went to 58,
22:08
so I took the extra point. I'm taking the under 58 1/2.
22:12
This would be a muck up game, lower scoring.
22:17
Yeah, interesting. I mean, first of all, go UNLV.
22:19
But outside of that, yeah, I mean, I, I would if the weather
22:24
was going to be good, if this were like, you know, in a Dome
22:26
somewhere, whatever, I would go over.
22:29
But that that weather is definitely a factor, right.
22:32
And I think if it is going to be like that, I like that play.
22:35
I mean, definitely leading that under if it's going to be a
22:37
steady rain. And that's kind of what I tried
22:40
to do with the Michigan, Ohio State thing last year.
22:41
I was expecting the snow to start earlier and the snow would
22:44
have helped and it would have been, you know, it would have
22:45
helped my play. So, yeah, if it's going to rain,
22:49
I like your under bet so good. Good bet.
22:51
Otherwise, I don't care what the hell it does go.
22:53
You went. I'll be.
22:54
Yeah. It did say steady rain and a
22:55
high was 38, so I believe by the end of the game it's probably
22:58
going to be down, you know, later.
23:00
Right now it'd be 3332 losing. Rain.
23:02
Cold, slick ball. Yeah.
23:03
That would. Lead to an under right.
23:06
Yeah, a lot less third down conversion.
23:08
I'm thinking a lot of punting. Hopefully they don't pull.
23:11
What was that punter for the Giants at one time?
23:14
He just went to punt the ball on the ball, just like.
23:16
Whipped on the ball. Yeah, hopefully none of that
23:19
happens at least so any quick scores, but I'm taking Yeah, I
23:22
like the under here tear us apart.
23:24
I I effed up this open at 3 1/2, and I should have taken Boise at
23:28
the time because now it's 4 1/2 and I don't want any part of
23:31
that again. Pulling for UNLV for the sake of
23:34
Pete. Yeah.
23:35
I mean, they've never won in Boise.
23:37
They've been playing a little bit better since the start of
23:40
the season. Maddox Madison is supposed to be
23:43
back for Boise State here, which might have something to do with
23:47
the line going up. But yeah, I missed 3 1/2, so
23:51
shame on me. I want UNLV but I think Boise is
23:56
going to get this done here. Probably the case.
24:01
Moving on, oh America's conference, the Mac, Well, it's
24:09
a rematch, so we got the Western Michigan's taking revenge for
24:12
their only Mac loss opened up at Western Michigan -3 1/2 over
24:17
under 43 1/2. Either of you guys got a bet on
24:20
this one? I do not.
24:22
Oh, Darren chimes in. Yeah, this line drop, I don't
24:27
really understand. I took Western Michigan -1 1/2
24:31
here. Maybe I'm biased because I
24:33
watched a few Western Michigan games in November.
24:36
Didn't really check out Miami. Statistically, a lot of
24:39
similarities here, but you have to remember Miami, Ohio
24:42
offensive numbers that they had. Most of that I was with the Quan
24:45
Finn as the quarterback. He quit because apparently he
24:49
needs to prep for the next level.
24:52
Bro, I know you're not listening, but if you are, you
24:55
spent seven years in college. The only thing you need to prep
24:58
for is putting the fries in the bag.
25:00
If you were going to the NFL, you wouldn't have spent your
25:03
last four years in college. But I digress.
25:07
You know, I mean they got a 2 headed monster running Brock
25:10
Lowry at QB, Jayden Buckley running back.
25:14
I mean both these defenses are excellent.
25:15
I mean, obviously with a total of 43 1/2, but all these teams
25:19
are going to try and hang out the ball as long as humanly
25:20
possible. But I love the Lowry, Buckley
25:24
combination. Western Michigan statistically
25:26
does have a little bit better defense.
25:27
Or second, the back. Miami of Ohio was third.
25:31
You know, the quarterback, they tried this Hessen, whatever he
25:33
was asked, they brought in Thomas Gostkowski, I believe is
25:37
how you pronounce his last name. He's had a couple of good games,
25:39
4 TDs, no picks, but that's Buffalo and Ball State.
25:43
I mean, the three of us can get 8 viewers and probably put up 4
25:45
touchdowns and no picks on Buffalo or Ball State.
25:48
So you do have to consider the the opposition there.
25:53
Yeah. I don't know why this line went
25:54
down. Obviously, people smarter than
25:56
me know what they're doing. But I took Western Michigan
25:59
minus the 1/2 to avenge their loss and be your 2025 Mac
26:02
winners. OK.
26:04
Well, I want a different route one with the the Pete were here
26:07
and I took the the over under bet here.
26:11
Well they got the back and quarterback as we as we
26:13
mentioned earlier, but they can still generate yards.
26:17
So I think both teams have positive turnover margins and
26:23
you know, I think there's going to be a few and that creates a
26:25
short field. So the over underline was 43
26:28
1/2. That seemed a little bit low to
26:31
me. So I am betting the over of 43
26:33
1/2. I think the the rushing attack,
26:36
especially in the red zone is going to help Western Michigan
26:38
out a lot. So despite the backup QB, these
26:43
two are going to light up the scoreboard a little bit.
26:45
I think the score gets into the 50s.
26:48
That's techni. It's not North Texas by any
26:50
means, but I'm seeing a final score, you know, you know, 3121,
26:56
something like that. So.
26:58
I'm going to do one more stat that I that I didn't read
27:01
because I was going from memory and shows you how good that
27:04
works out. You know, guys, I love me some
27:05
3rd and 4th down success rate Miami offensively on 3rd and 4th
27:10
down, they're 113th in the country in offensive success
27:14
rate, defensively, 3rd and 4th down success rate, they're 110th
27:18
in the country. So they're not good at
27:19
converting. They're not good at stopping
27:21
other teams from converting, which was another reason I'm
27:24
rolling with Western Michigan here.
27:28
Iris. Yeah, screw you, Jaquan Finn put
27:34
the fries in the bag. That's.
27:41
Sorry, you got any thoughts on this?
27:43
And do you want fries? Yeah, I'd like some fries with
27:46
that, please. Thank you.
27:47
Very. Much.
27:47
We'll get them all in the bag for you.
27:49
Yeah, Tim, I like, I like your bet.
27:51
Usually with a game like this, I would lean under.
27:53
However, right there is something weird about Mac
27:57
championship games at Ford Field where they just tend to score
28:01
more than they usually do. There's just something about
28:04
that place. I've gone to a few of those
28:06
games because obviously I live in in Michigan.
28:08
It's something weird about it. I don't know what it is.
28:09
They just tend to score more even if they don't normally
28:12
score does not. So it would not surprise me if
28:15
this thing total ended up around 50 or something little north of
28:19
there. Not surprised me at all.
28:20
So love that bet. So yeah, I would go over just
28:24
because of where it is and that it's a match championship.
28:27
Yes, you do not have to worry about the weather.
28:28
It's indoors. As I'm saying, it's dry in
28:30
there. There's no Blizzard or hurricane
28:32
or typhoon or all three going on at the same time.
28:34
So yeah. Right.
28:36
So all right, where's the truck? Oh, here we go.
28:42
I did not place a bet on this game, but I do technically have
28:46
a money line bet on BYU. So go Cougars.
28:51
Here we go. You know, coach is staying.
28:54
He was also in line for the Penn State job.
28:57
He's the crumble cookie company billionaire said no, you're not
29:01
going anywhere. So I guess they send them a
29:03
whole bunch of money and free cookies for life.
29:05
I guess. Texas Tech 11 and one against
29:08
the spray. That is scary.
29:09
So. But yeah, I'll be, if for no
29:12
other reason if BYU wins, you know, I hit my bets and it'll
29:16
put the final nail in the coffin for Miami.
29:18
They will not be in the playoff and that'll make me double
29:21
happy. Considering what happened to me
29:23
last week, I think I deserve some happiness this week.
29:26
So I'm hoping BYU delivers. Give me my future bed, knock
29:30
Miami out once and for all. And that's all I got to say
29:33
about that. What do you guys think?
29:35
I'll go even quicker than that, but again, for you, go BYU and
29:40
watch like in the other games. I don't know man, they got
29:45
smoked by Texas Tech last time and it wasn't even as close as
29:47
the final score was like 29 to 6 or something horrible like that.
29:52
27 to 9 I think I want. To say was it, maybe it was, it
29:54
was ugly, whatever it was. But you know what, they, they
29:57
know what's at stake. So I would expect a better
29:59
effort. But man, Texas Tech, good for
30:03
you guys. You went in all in on the
30:05
portal. It's paying benefits.
30:06
You guys are legit. And I, I haven't looked to see
30:10
what the futures like. Usually if I'm making a national
30:12
championship bet at this point because I didn't have one at the
30:15
start of the season. When the bracket comes out, I am
30:18
going to look at Texas Tech's odds.
30:22
Yeah, I mean that they they certainly are good enough to to
30:25
at least get to the Final Four and present a little hedge
30:29
opportunity. God, that defense is ridiculous.
30:33
But pulling for BYU? Go Cubs for Tim.
30:40
Go #47 Bear, Brockmire Quarterback Edwards #47 How do
30:47
you not love that? Probably his IQ.
30:50
I have no idea how many tries Dequan Quinn needs to put in the
30:54
bag. 47 Get ready for the next level, Dequan.
31:00
What do you think about the over here?
31:02
Pete, out of my my concern, 49 1/2 is what I saw as the total.
31:07
Yeah, Texas Tech is going to score.
31:09
I I just don't know what BYU is going to do.
31:11
That's why I didn't touch it. Right.
31:12
Like if BYU does something like like they can do, then the over
31:16
is in play. But I don't trust BYU.
31:19
Texas Tech could come out here and just blow them out.
31:21
I don't, I don't know. So I did not touch it for that
31:24
reason. I just don't know what BYU is
31:25
going to do. Right, we're getting down to the
31:29
nitty gritty here. Oh, it just means more Alabama,
31:35
Georgia, Alabama. Any of you guys got anything on
31:37
this one? I do.
31:39
All. Right.
31:42
Well, total is 47 1/2. So Georgia Bama screams all day
31:48
to be a blood gore, choke each other out kind of fast, right?
31:52
This is like an MMA kind of game.
31:55
That's the way I see these things.
31:56
That's the way these things quite often turn out, right?
31:58
Elite defensive talent on both sides of the ball.
32:01
That's the way these games tend to play themselves out.
32:04
They're going to pound the hell out of each other.
32:05
So every yard is a bloodbath. This is like, you know, it's SEC
32:08
now. It's like old school Big 10 kind
32:10
of thing. That's what I expect to see in
32:12
these games. So, you know, these games can
32:14
get weird. I wouldn't be surprised.
32:16
It was like 17 or 7 or something weird, who knows, right?
32:19
So to me, that 47 1/2 is high, like, like high, high.
32:25
So I mean, this to me is an under all day long.
32:27
Now, of course I say that and somebody don't come out and
32:31
score 40 points or something ridiculous the way this season
32:34
is going because you can't read anything this year.
32:36
But to me that number is really high with a game like this.
32:38
I mean, they're going to play conservative, run the ball, play
32:41
great defense is what I expect to see.
32:45
Yeah, I mean that that's this type of game.
32:47
So I would expect nothing other than that.
32:50
It should be an excellent game if you like defensive football.
32:54
So yeah, it's be fun to watch in that respect.
32:57
But yeah, to me this isn't under all day long.
32:58
So under 47 and a. Half, Darren.
33:03
I bet Georgia all day long twice on Saturdays, oddly enough is
33:08
the day this game is being played.
33:10
So just a couple things to take from the first game.
33:12
We know Alabama went into Georgia 124 to 21.
33:15
Wonderful. Good for them.
33:17
If y'all remember 2023 Michigan, and I'm Pete, I'm sure you do.
33:21
One of the things they were really good at was making
33:24
halftime adjustments. They only allowed like 7 points
33:27
a game or in the half in the second-half.
33:29
I mean whatever they were doing at halftime, they were just
33:32
dominating teams in the second-half.
33:35
Well, George has kind of done the same thing.
33:37
Alabama's 24 points in that first game all came in the first
33:40
half and then they got shut out after that.
33:42
And George is actually only allowing 7.1 points in the
33:45
second-half of games this year. So we've been ripping their
33:48
defense and rightfully so because, you know, God forbid
33:51
they don't have 60 sacks already on the year.
33:54
But I mean, they lose so much NFL talent every year.
33:56
At some point it was going to have to catch up to them.
33:58
But Georgia, excellent at those half time adjustments.
34:01
Now you look at Alabama that that first game, you know, they
34:06
had, they had their full offensive line this game, two of
34:09
their offensive tackles have already been ruled out.
34:11
Georgia in that first game, they had two of their tackles that
34:14
were injured as well. They're both back now.
34:16
They are losing their center, the offense coordinator's kid.
34:19
He, he is out here. So that may hurt a little bit.
34:21
But Alabama has not been able to run the ball all year long.
34:24
Their leading rusher doesn't even have 500 yards, Jim Miller,
34:27
and he's questionable. So even if he plays, he's
34:29
probably not going to be 100%. I think Alabama comes into this
34:33
kind of 1 dimensional. And even though Georgia can't,
34:37
you know, they're having some trouble getting sacks, they're
34:40
still excellent at stopping the run.
34:41
They're like second in the in the conference that run defense.
34:44
So they'll be able to play their normal defense, maybe have an
34:47
extra safety in there to help with the pass.
34:49
But you know, I have been super impressed with Alabama.
34:52
I mean, that Iron Bowl, you know, they got out to 17 nothing
34:55
lead and that which apparently was really impressive to the
34:57
committee, but not impressive that they ended up tied 1717
35:02
before finally winning that game.
35:03
But I think Georgia's has been playing better ball the last
35:06
month. Alabama, not so much.
35:08
And I know Kirby Smart can't beat Alabama.
35:10
He's like 1 and 11 or whatever the hell he is.
35:13
But in a game like this where the spread is under 3, now, kind
35:17
of take a peek at special teams. Alabama's field goal kicker, 13
35:20
of 20, that's 65%. Georgia's field goal kicker, 15
35:26
of 16. And that includes eight of nine
35:28
for 40 yards or more. So in a game with a spread of 2
35:31
1/2, a field goal could be huge here.
35:34
So give me Georgia, give me Kirby to finally, you know, beat
35:39
his demons and beat Alabama. Here.
35:42
I laid 2 1/2. Obviously I didn't get it,
35:44
didn't get the 1 1/2 because I bet a little bit late, but.
35:47
Give me that as well. Love it, love it.
35:50
Love that bet. By the way, every score you just
35:52
mentioned, every scenario you just mentioned screams under,
35:55
right? Yeah, yeah.
35:59
Yeah, I too. I also took Georgia -2 1/2, the
36:02
same thing. I started looking at all these
36:04
games. I did them pretty much in order.
36:06
So it opened up at 1 1/2, and by the time I got done with
36:08
Conference USA and all the ones we already did, it went up to 2
36:11
1/2. So I still don't mind, you know,
36:14
laying a 2 1/2. Alabama does, I believe, have
36:18
the better quarterback. But you know, where there's
36:20
smoke, there's fire, and where there's Kirby Smart, there's a
36:22
pass rush, and Georgia's got a good one.
36:25
I think they can get to him a lot during this game.
36:29
They can to defend the run on the way to the quarterback.
36:33
So I like Georgia here. Not to mention with all the
36:35
things that you said, they're also 73% on 4th down.
36:38
So if it gets to that point where they have to start getting
36:41
a four down territory, they're confident enough to convert on
36:46
that. So I like Georgia laying the 2
36:48
1/2 as well. I'm starting to get nervous.
36:52
We agree. I don't like that.
36:53
So am I. Yeah, we're oh boy, is this a Oh
37:03
no, this one, the one that everybody's talking about.
37:10
I, I think if Duke wins, I think that also keeps Miami out.
37:15
So I I think is that is that right?
37:17
I don't know if you put an ACC team in if Duke wins, I mean.
37:21
Seriously, I'd be OK with that as long as Miami's not in.
37:23
I'm not one of those conference Hawks like all the in the the
37:26
Big 10 in the SEC. Like I don't care if any of
37:28
these teams get in. So maybe we'll root for Virginia
37:32
because then they don't, you know, they don't want to, you
37:36
know, give two ACC teams. So.
37:39
But I like how Duke gets here with a five way tiebreaker.
37:43
Because college football, that's why.
37:46
This conference is ass, that's why.
37:50
So well, as much as a Virginia victory would keep Miami out,
37:55
I'm thinking I did bet on this. I did bet on Duke.
38:00
I took the money line on this one.
38:01
The opening line was Virginia giving 2 1/2.
38:06
You know, I think with the quarterback play, they do have
38:08
some explosive plays over there at Duke.
38:10
He'll have the defense playing well.
38:14
For what it's worth, I think Duke's played a tougher schedule
38:18
this year than Virginia, so we'll put say, whatever that is.
38:22
But they're going to have more explosive plays.
38:24
They're very efficient in the passing game.
38:28
The quarterback plays really well.
38:31
They have twice as many touchdowns as passing touchdowns
38:34
as Virginia does so on 1st down. They're also very effective.
38:40
So I like the explosive playability and I like Duke here
38:44
just to win this game outright and confirm the ACCSL laughing
38:49
stock everyone thinks it is so go Duke oh Duke I'd get the plus
38:57
1:40 on that. So that's a nice, nice pick this
39:01
out I. Think you want to go first
39:06
because I'm going to respectfully.
39:08
I couldn't have less interest in a game this weekend.
39:10
Every other game is more interested, including the Mac,
39:12
than this thing. I I will not watch this game.
39:16
Yeah, well, that's because there's another, there's an
39:17
actual promising game Saturday at 8:00 that I think most people
39:21
will be watching. Yeah, I, Tim, I'm pulling for
39:23
you. But Duke's defense is asked this
39:25
year. This this is not 2024, Duke.
39:27
I mean, they're giving up 400 yards a game.
39:29
Virginia usually has no defense, only giving up like 300 yards a
39:33
game. I love Chandler Morris.
39:35
I may love Darian Mensa too. If anything, I would go over
39:38
here because neither of these teams scream the 85 Bears.
39:43
But yeah, I I would, I would lean the other way just because
39:47
Duke's defense isn't what I feel.
39:49
That's weird because Manny Diaz is usually like a defensive guy.
39:52
And last year their defense was really, really good.
39:56
I'm not sure what have they lose a bunch of people, the
39:58
graduation or the portal, I don't know.
40:00
This is not the Duke, the Duke defense from from 2024, but.
40:07
That's just my thought, but they bought themselves a nice
40:10
quarterback, so they certainly do have a chance.
40:12
Oh yeah, their defenses? I asked.
40:17
Any final thoughts where it just means more Pete in the ACC?
40:25
Oh boy. Yeah OK, guess we'll just kick.
40:28
That's horrible. They got final conference so
40:34
well. I think people will be watching
40:36
this game. Number one against #2 Indiana
40:42
seven and five against the spread.
40:43
Ohio State ten, 1:00 and 1:00. Wow.
40:50
Kind of like North Texas fives here.
40:52
Do you guys got any play on this or is it just me again?
40:55
Nope, I got one but you can go first.
40:57
All right. Well, the over under is 48 1/2.
41:00
I actually got it at 47 1/2. I bet the over both of these
41:06
offenses, great quarterback play, great receivers.
41:09
They're both pretty balanced. This came to be, you know, don't
41:15
overthink this one. So Indiana scores and everybody,
41:18
Ohio State scores and everybody. Neither of these defenses seem
41:22
built to slow either one of these offenses down, so I'm not
41:25
going to overthink it too much. 47 1/2, I love that number.
41:30
I thought it would be up, you know, 5859, somewhere around
41:33
there, given the quarterback play and the receivers and the
41:35
offense and all that. You know, 56% on 3rd down.
41:40
Both teams are 56% on 3rd down. They're going to stay on the
41:42
field a lot. I thought this game would be a
41:45
lot higher. Swearing this game is indoors.
41:49
Indianapolis. We've been there.
41:50
They don't think they've taken the roof off of Luke Sorrow
41:52
Stadium, have they? Have your Colts done anything to
41:55
the stadium? No.
41:57
Well, they could. Open it, but they're not going
41:58
through this time of. Year well they better not open
42:00
it that would that would really put a so that.
42:03
'D be fun. I'd like to see that.
42:05
But yeah, I like 47 1/2. I like the over here.
42:08
I almost spent 2 units on this one, but I'm like 1 and four and
42:10
two unit plays this year, so I'm going to stop doing that.
42:13
But yeah, this is my strongest confidence one which is doomed
42:17
to sink it. So over 47 1/2 in this game.
42:22
Let's hear it, Darren. The line draw.
42:25
I was going to leave this game alone, but DraftKings yesterday
42:27
morning dropped Ohio State -4 and I, I hopped on the Buckeyes
42:31
here. Again, looking at the stats,
42:34
there's nothing that you can differentiate these two teams
42:36
with. They're both really good
42:37
offensively. They're like top two in the
42:39
country defensively. So there really isn't any stat
42:42
that would lead me to favor one team or the other here.
42:46
But I did take Ohio State for a couple reasons.
42:48
You remember last year we kind of banged on their offensive
42:51
line and it turned out to be kind of like unfairly soaked.
42:54
They actually played really well.
42:56
They'll end up giving up 17 sacks last year.
42:59
Well, if you've watched any Ohio State games and watched the
43:03
networks interview Julian saying after and you're like wow, did
43:06
he just change his jersey? No, he's been sacked 6 times in
43:10
12 games. That why that dude looks
43:12
Immaculate at the end of the fourth quarter.
43:14
He's never getting hit. Bo Jackson, not the Bo Jackson,
43:19
but the other Bo Jackson currently runs for Ohio State.
43:23
He's kind of established himself as the go to guy in that
43:25
backfield. So I'm going to give an
43:27
offensive line edge here to the Buckeyes.
43:30
And also I heard some reports saying that like, well, you
43:34
know, Ohio State kind of went through this last year.
43:37
They played all these playoff games.
43:38
They kind of know what it takes. They want to be healthy.
43:41
They haven't really been showing everything every week.
43:44
I don't really believe that. Yeah.
43:47
But I also heard, well, they finally beat Michigan.
43:50
You know, they hadn't done that in four years, Man, there's
43:53
going to be a little bit of a let down.
43:55
You know what else they haven't done in four years?
43:57
Win the freaking Big 10. So don't tell me that there's
44:00
going to be a let down here. Ryan Day will have these guys
44:02
focused and ready to go. Now, on the flip side, does the
44:05
loser really get hurt here? No, they're probably still
44:08
getting a bye week regardless of what happens.
44:12
But the the three best players on the field, Jeremiah Smith,
44:17
Carnell Tate and Caleb Downs, they're all on the same team.
44:19
So you know what, call it a hunch.
44:23
I don't know, man. It dropped a four.
44:25
That's a nice number for me. I'm going to expect this to go
44:27
back up if it's four where you play Snagit because I think it's
44:32
going to win by 7 or more. I could see that.
44:37
Any thoughts Pete on your? Yeah, Pete's the big 10 guy.
44:40
That's why we were wrap it up with with him because I'd.
44:43
I'd like to disagree. I really, really like to
44:46
disagree. I mean.
44:47
We're doing that a lot on this show.
44:50
I, I, I'd like to see Indiana do something and, and they could
44:53
right, really good team. I'd like to see what they can do
44:55
here. Yeah, I wasn't all that
44:57
impressive. Ohio State, Michigan's largely
44:59
inept at this point. They're one-dimensional team, no
45:01
pass rush. I don't think Ohio State looked
45:04
all that good against Michigan. And Michigan's not all that
45:05
good, period, Right. I mean, we don't have any skill
45:07
players. I mean, I don't think we're all
45:09
that good. So.
45:11
But then it's a rivalry game. You got to throw that out,
45:13
right? So it's always going to be close
45:15
no matter what. I mean, I remain not overly
45:19
impressed with Ohio State. But then again, you know, they
45:23
keep winning and they're going to keep winning until somebody
45:26
actually, you know, holds them down and beats them.
45:29
And I'm not sure Indiana's A-Team to do that.
45:32
Now, do I think they're going to roll through the playoffs this
45:34
year? No, I don't.
45:35
I think somebody will beat them, but it's probably not going to
45:38
be Indiana. So I think, you know, I think
45:42
this could be a pretty high scoring game though, which would
45:46
be a little bit odd for the Big 10, but it's the right place for
45:49
it. So yeah, it could be an
45:50
interesting game. I look forward to it.
45:52
I'd love to see Ohio State lose, but the problem with that is
45:56
that'll just piss them off. Then they'll probably win the
45:58
national championship again. So I'd rather see them win here
46:01
and then losing a playoff honestly.
46:02
So that would be the ideal scenario.
46:05
So just win the damn game, go to the playoff and lose somebody
46:08
else. I'm good with that so.
46:11
I'm just going to say this. We know Ohio State's defense is
46:13
legit, but how legit do they have to be for Matt Patricia not
46:17
to come in and screw them up You.
46:19
Know. If Patricia can't screw this up,
46:22
this might be the best. This defense might be better
46:24
than last year's. Yeah, this defense is killer.
46:27
They have those players in that team.
46:28
I mean, that defense is killer. I mean, they're really, really
46:30
good. Yeah, So what?
46:34
Michigan will get another crack at Ohio State?
46:36
What, 300 and 300 and? $60.00 Oh, it's going to be
46:39
worse. They're going.
46:40
To get 360 dollars. They got to go to the two next
46:43
year. If any of those Blues think they
46:44
have a chance next year, that's already a loss.
46:47
These morons don't know what the hell they're thinking.
46:49
They're going to get slaughtered.
46:50
Does Sharon Moore coach that game next year?
46:52
No, he won't. He'll be gone.
46:53
He's well, actually. Michigan doesn't fire coaches in
46:55
the middle of the season, so he'll.
46:57
I think he does coach that game next year.
46:59
Yeah, they don't fire coaches in the middle of the season, but
47:01
he'll be gone right after it. The day after, he'll be gone.
47:03
It was nice to see him guard their their 50 yard line.
47:06
At least they played some defense at some point.
47:08
Yeah, I mean, that was beautiful coaching.
47:10
That wasn't him. I mean, that was Wayne Ku.
47:13
It's you leave so best player in the field you single cover him
47:17
on brilliant, although that was that was also a touchback.
47:21
But besides that. It was.
47:24
It was a. Touchback.
47:25
Yes, I saw that after work. Yeah, that was touchback.
47:28
You got here, Yeah, let's single.
47:30
I would have triple covered it. I would have.
47:31
I would have bumped them in a line.
47:32
And if somebody offered somebody in the back, like there's no way
47:35
I let him beat me there. No way.
47:36
But whatever. You can have adjustments.
47:40
Ohio State makes them too, just like Georgia.
47:41
You look at their their close games.
47:43
I mean somewhat close against Michigan, shut Michigan down in
47:46
the second-half, close game against Penn State in the first
47:49
half, shut Penn State down in the second-half.
47:51
I'm telling you, man, Michigan was better.
47:54
Don't get me wrong, Indiana is a lot better and I have a soft
47:57
spot in my heart for Indiana as they catch my over 8 1/2 nine
48:00
games into the season. But I think Ohio State's better,
48:03
too. Yeah, they're better.
48:04
They're better. But Michigan has inferior
48:06
coaching in their one-dimensional.
48:07
So they don't count because we can't.
48:09
We have no, we have no receivers.
48:10
What are you going to do? We have no tight end.
48:11
Who are you going to throw to? You can't throw it a ball.
48:14
So yeah. Whatever.
48:15
No time to get on the phone to Larry Ellison's wife again.
48:18
See if we can find a couple of receivers for you.
48:19
Yeah, we. Need some money?
48:21
We need We need a check? We got to go get some.
48:23
Guys, Oh, this is terrible. Well, college football's
48:25
becoming. It's just so any final thoughts
48:30
on that? Should we wrap this up?
48:31
We'll go to our review, wrap it. Do we have to?
48:35
Yeah, sadly. God damn.
48:38
Look at all those bets. All right.
48:44
You want to go first since I got the the main, yeah.
48:48
We'll go 1st and then sign off and you just finish in like 30
48:51
minutes and we'll send me the video when it's done
48:54
downloading. Let me just do my 2:00 so that
48:57
way I can take a nap while you're talking.
48:58
So so yeah, North Texas 2 lane over 66 and a half one unit.
49:05
And then Georgia and Alabama under 47 1/2 one units.
49:09
Those are my 2 plays this week. I only have three.
49:13
I got Western Michigan land a point and a half over Miami.
49:16
I've got Georgia laying 2 1/2 over Bama and Ohio State laying
49:20
4 over Indiana. All right, the Hindenburg
49:25
landing went more smoothly than my champion.
49:27
My rivalry week last week was horrible.
49:31
Oh, my God, I'm going to do this quick so I don't have to look at
49:32
this. So we got the Jacksonville State
49:34
money line over Kennesaw State. I have Duke also money line over
49:39
Virginia, UNLV, Boise State under 58 1/2.
49:44
I have North Texas -2 1/2 over Tulane, Ohio State and Indiana
49:49
over 47 1/2, Georgia -2 1/2 over Alabama and Troy, James Madison
49:57
over 47 1/2, and last but not least, Miami, Western Michigan
50:03
over 43 1/2. Any final thoughts, John?
50:08
We'll wrap this up. Go BYUUNLV and Troy.

Troy, UNLV. Yeah.
