  Speaker 1: even know what to tell you about that. I just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to do this anymore. I have never seen
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: anything like this. Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: not a good day at all. Own four that have
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: not had a good season. Man with wookends the slump

  Speaker 1: what's up? Everybody? Toad back with your totsal Sports Tuesday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: December second, Thanks for everybody who hung out last night
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: for the women's volleyball special, which I don't know if
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave my bracket alone, but it is what
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it is. I don't know anything about it, so just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: doing that somewhat for fun. I have no voice this morning.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I think I might need to turn my mic down
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit as well. I know you guys say
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it's always too low, but like, I don't think I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sound good. I don't know. We'll keep it at that,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Dirty sock. What's up, Jeffrey, what's up?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out everybody. We had a winning day
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: on the show yesterday four and one. The hockey play
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh Penguins hit pretty easy win there, solid
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: play as an underdog there. Two and one in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: NBA Brooklyn nets with an outright win when we win?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Would you ever say that? But if ever remember correctly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I think both do they only have two wins on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the season. I think both of them were plays that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I gave out on the show. I think I don't remember.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The Clippers were the only loss. I mean that was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just total destruction. That wasn't even close. So my apologies
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on that one. I don't know what else to tell
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you about that. That was terrible. Chicago Bulls got there.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had some chances to win that game outright.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That was a close game. In the fourth quarter they
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: lost but covered, So that was a winner there. They
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: were pretty much in that game wire to wire. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: then we did have the Patriots correct as well. The
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Patriots just out to a big lead early and then
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the Giants couldn't catch up. I know there was that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: one play that everybody's talking about where Jackson Dart ran
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: up the sideline like maybe he was trying to get
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a first down. But I mean, I think he was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: pretty clearly headed out of bounds. And everybody's talking about
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart used to stop doing this, like he's being
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: reckless man, He's gonna get injured and whatever. And while
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: maybe that still might be true, that particular play, the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Patriots defender launched himself into him, like there's no need
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for that, Like all you have to do is shove
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: him out, you know what I mean, He like literally
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: left the ground, like launched his entire body, which is
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: why the Giants took exception to him. That was a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: cheap hit dude, like darts going out of bounds anyway.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you don't want him to get the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: first down. But like, I don't know why so many
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: people are disagreeing with that, Like that was I think
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they the ress threw a penalty flag on it, like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it was definitely deserving of a penalty. I mean that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that was a cheap shot dude, Like Patriots were trying
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to knock him out of the game, like intentionally. So
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what people are seeing different Like, I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: don't know how people are seeing that play any differently.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Yeah, like he was gonna be out of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: bounds anyway, so like there was no need to do that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna get the first down on it. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: don't know, but we did get the win, which also
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: meant I went four and one in my splash pick
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: them league again. I am very much in the money
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: right now and they need to finish it off with
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a good stretch run here. But I hate the NFL
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: board this week, so I don't know. There's the potential
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that I give out a play on the Thursday game
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we'll see today is gonna be primarily college basketball. I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: gonna have five college basketball plays and hopefully we can
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: get some winners with that. NHL I actually there's like
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of games, and I hate the board.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have nothing in the NHL today and then
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: two NBA plays, So that's what I'm gonna do today. Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's get into it, man, college basketball. We
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: got a lot going on with college basketball. Man, I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna lose my voice again here talking about all these games.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's a Tuesday. I mean once, once we really get going,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: there are gonna be some big like Tuesday and Wednesday boards.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I think. I mean, this one is pretty big today.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The action does start in the afternoon a couple of games.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: George Washington is playing at Army. George Washington going up
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: against the Army. Interesting, this game is at eleven am Eastern.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have any plays until the evening part of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the board. But George Washington, they're coming off a loss,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I believe in the Cayman Islands where they were a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: pretty substantial favorite against Murray State. So I could see
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them being in a bounce back spot here. Now that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they're back in you know, the mainland United States after
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: an ugly loss as a favorite there, I think they'll
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: show up for this one. Army not as good. Army
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: is actually coming off an overtime win over Manhattan where
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Manhattan was actually a slight favorite in this game. This
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: game was where was this game? This game was actually
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at West Point. This was actually at Army, So Army
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is just staying at home. But yeah, I think the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: spot is better for George Washington for a bounce back
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. So that's the way I would lean
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in that game. And they are the better team, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they're laying twenty two and a half now, Army fifty
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: take a sixty two percent of the cash. I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: do I really want to lay twenty plus on the road.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I don't, but that's probably what I would do if
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I was gonna play that game. I mean, George Washington
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is the way, way better team here, and they're in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: like a decent bounce back spot. But of course they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: don't really need to cover that number, so I don't know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But Army, I mean, they're pretty much ass so. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: then the other afternoon game, well noontime, well the only
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: noon game, because that other one is a morning game.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Charleston Southern is at UT Martin. We got to win
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: with Charlton's. With Charleston Southern against South Carolina, they played
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: pretty well in that game against their in state big brother.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: By the end of it wasn't that close, but it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was still a big effort from them. So second straight
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: road game, I could see Charleston Southern maybe maybe still
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: being in a bit of a hangover spot after that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: UT Martin had an easy go of it in their
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: last game, I believe, staying at home. They beat Brescia
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or whatever, some non Division one team, so the spot
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: sets up better for UT Martin. And that one. The
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: money looks like it's disagreeing with that, but I would
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: probably lay it with Ut Martin and that one sixty
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: eight percent of the tickets on them fifty three of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the cash on Charleston Southern though, So some difference of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: opinion between me and the market and that one. But
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not strong on that one at all. Bruins against
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the Red Wings, I obviously do not agree with that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna be a zigzag spot. All right,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Let's what else do we want to talk about here?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the best bets already? Why not? Which,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: by the way, it's it's a good thing that we're
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we're back on the winning track, man, because I don't know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like I I can't stand losing, and I get, you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in a really really bad state, you know what I mean.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: These losses stay with me. They fester, Jerry. We're gonna
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: have some new drops on the show too. I just
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: need an excuse to play one of those drops right now.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be a few probably. Let's get into the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: best bets though we probably need some like music with
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the best bets visual here. I don't know something. First
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: one is up in the six pm slate. We're gonna
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: take the points with stone Hill. I put too many
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a's in that NC triple A. They're coming to help
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you out when your car breaks down. Yeah, Stonehill plus
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the points here plus the six and a half, the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: money looks like it might be coming in against this.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Bryant up to well six point favorite now. So it
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: looks like when it hit six and a half, it
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: did start coming down six six and a half. Hopefully
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: not too much of a difference there. We got a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: low total in this one, one hundred and thirty one
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and a half. So you know me, I prefer taking
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the points in these ugly, low scoring games, and it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: looks like that's what this is gonna be. This is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: against Bryant. I know my Stonehill guys from Easton, mass
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: they're not very good, but they're coming off of a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: loss that was worse than it looked. They went to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Quinnipiac and they got I don't want to say destroyed,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: but they did lose by double Diggit's fuck off ad block.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ hate that shit. If you look at what
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: happened in this game, though, Quinnipiac shot fifty percent from
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: three point range in the game, even though, yeah, Quinnipiac
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was obviously a pretty big favorite in this game, but
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Stonehill actually played better than the numbers make it look.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Stonehill shot really poorly in the game, which is kind
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of an outlier thirty nine percent from the field. The
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: fifty threes from quintet Piac is an outlier as well.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I would say Stonehill won the rebound battle by eight,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: so it was not all bad for Stonehill if they
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: were able to out rebound a team that's better than
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: they are, I mean, that's actually a decent sign for Stonehill.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And they did lose the turnover battle, which factored into
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: why they lost the game, which I know they'll be
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on the road again. A lot of times the road
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: team will lose the turnover battle. But there was also
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a free throw a sparity in this game. Quinnipiac hit
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: ten free throws and Stonehill only only hit four, So
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: stone Hill really didn't go to the line a whole lot.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that they're a very good
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: free throw shooting team anyway, but they had a bad
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: free throw shooting game in that game as well, only
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: shooting fifty percent but really the crux of this is
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: not just that stone Hill actually played better in that
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: game than maybe it looked. But for Bryant, Brant is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: coming off a difficult game and they went up to Harvard,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: which I think they consider Harvard to be kind of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a big deal because they're one of the more known
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: basketball schools or one of the more known schools in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: New England. So I think Bryant did get up for
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this game and Brian played Harvard in a low scoring
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: battle to within three points in Harvard. Although ESPN won't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: show us the stupid betting anymore because ESPN Bet got
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: bought out by the score. So now ESPN Bet is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: like starting to I guess switch over to showing DraftKings
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: odds on here and it's still not working. So that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: is making my handicapping more difficult here. Thanks ESPN, But
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you can see the Harvard, according to ESPN, is over
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: an eighty point favorite. Eighty percent favorite, not eighty points
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that would be crazy, eighty something percent favorite to win
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this game. So this is a game where Briant almost
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: pulled off the upset. I mean they took Harvard basically
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to the wire. I mean it was a low scoring game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Brian had a decent lead in the second half too,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they fell just short. Now they have to come off
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of that and play this ugly stone Hill team, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in three days Brian has to play Brown, and I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: think that is a big deal because they, I think,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: still consider Brown to be a bigger brother to them
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in the state of Rhode Island. Bryant is in Rhode Island,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: so that's a big deal playing Brown. So I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: this is basically a sandwich spot here, and we're getting
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: all these points and what looks like it's gonna be
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: an ugly matchup, so yeah, we'll do it. Both these
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: teams play pretty slow too, so I mean that obviously
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: has to do with the total there as well. That's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: why the total is this low. Brian plays slow, Stonehill
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: plays even slower, and both teams are really bad offensively,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and you're asking one of those teams to win like
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: by a margin here. Yeah, I think taking the points
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense in this one, man. So
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do in that one, even though yes,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Stonehill is a pretty bad team for sure, but we're
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: still gonna do it in that game. And Bryant is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: not great, probably not as good as last year, Sab.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: What's up man? Thanks for hanging out, all right? So
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: stone Hill plus the Points is the first game that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: probably the ugliest one. So there is that. Alright. Let's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: get into more of these games here. Next up a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: game that's gonna be on Peacocks. We can actually watch this. Well.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: The other one's on ESPN Plus, like so many of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: these games are on ESPN Plus, man, so we get
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to watch a lot of these games if we want to.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Iowa Michigan State. This is a pretty good matchup, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a play on this one. We're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: gonna take the points with Iowa plus five and a half.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It looks like the money is agreeing with me on
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: this one. Seventy two percent of the tickets around Michigan
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: State and only fifty percent of the cash. I mean,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and the line dropped from five and a half to five.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So hopefully you can get one of those numbers five
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and a half or five. I think we might see
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the money come in on Iowa and knock this line down.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got Michigan State. I mean, they're a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: very known quantity. You know. It's Tom is they're always
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: up there. They're ranked seventh in the country. Now it
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: looks way too easy to lay five and a half
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of Michigan State at home, man, But this is an
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Iowa team that is completely different than people are used to.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Like normally, Iowa tries to play really fast. That was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the Fran mccaffory thing. In Michigan State plays really slow.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But now Iowa's Ben McCollum led like he's their new coach.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He brought his guys over from Drake, and he had
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: only one season with Drake and was a really good
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: season for him there at Drake, and he brought his
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: guys up from like a Division two team whatever. Now
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: he's at Iowa, and this is a completely different Iowa team, man,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: where they play really really slow, even slower than Michigan State.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: So Michigan State slowing the pace down, that's going to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: play right into what Iowa wants to do. So it's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: going to be a slow pace game, which also means
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: taking the points makes sense. This is a very low
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: total as well, done to one to thirty three, so
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: taking the points makes more sense here as well. Both
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: these teams are more defense oriented than offense oriented. With Iowa.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Actually Iowa being very balanced on Michigan State is actually
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: more of an imbalanced team as you can see here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: According to Kent Palm, Michigan State's a top ten defensive team,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but they're outside the top thirty in offensive efficiency, so
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that also is a team that you could potentially fade
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: when they're laying points. Iowa is actually the better offensive team,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the worst defensive team, but they're very balanced, in the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: top thirty in both, and he's got Iowa inside the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: top twenty five Kenpom does in his rankings and he
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: has Michigan State fifteenth. So seeing the rankings makers having
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Iowa unranked in Michigan State seventh, Iowa is pretty underranked
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: right now. Man in Michigan State is a bit over ranked.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So I think we're getting some we get some misleading.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: What am I even like the rankings makers are basically
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: setting up a situation where it's misleading, like they're not
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: telling you, like what the full story is here. And
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for Iowa, they're gonna show up. I mean, it's a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: game against Michigan State. Iowa they've been rolling, they're undefeated.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't really been tested yet, but they
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: do have a nice win against Ole Miss in there,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and then on the back to back they beat Grand Canyon,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: which was the championship in whatever this California tournament was there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: That's a good win. I mean, that's a pretty good
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon team. So Iowa pulling off two good wins
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in that tournament and normally would say, well, they're gonna
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: be in a letdown off of that, but I don't
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: think so, man. I mean, this is Michigan State we're
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: talking about. You know, I was gonna get up for
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this game. Like there was the potential that they wouldn't
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: show up in that game against Grand Canyon, I would think,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and they still did. So I thought that was a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: difficult spot for them, and they still got a pretty
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: convincing win. So I think they're gonna show up. And yes,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it is their first true road game, but I mean
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: it's it's a team that's in there in sort of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the same region of the country, and it's a conference game.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was used to making a travel spot
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: like this, so it's not gonna be like that unfamiliar
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to them. Even though yeah, it's with Ben McCollum and whatever,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: so you know, he and his guys might not totally
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: be used to it yet. Normally I would not want
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to be on a team playing their first true road game,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: but in this case, I'm gonna do it. And I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: also think the spot is really bad for Michigan State.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I know, this is their big ten opener home at home,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: so normally they're gonna show up. But Michigan themselves, Michigan
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: State themselves, they're coming off winning a tournament themselves down
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in Florida. They had a very convincing win over North
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Carolina to finish that tournament off. Huge win from Michigan State. Man,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, they're an absolute blue blood. They're in the rankings.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: That was a big win for Michigan, very convincing for
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Michigan's State. Excuse me, my god, the Michigan State fans
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: are gonna be mad at me. Michigan State. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they've beaten three good teams so far, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But I think this is gonna be difficult for them, man,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And to make matters worse for them, they have to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: turn around to play Duke on Saturday. I mean, that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a monster game against Dukes. So I think Iowa's very
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: under the radar here, and it is a spot where
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: maybe Michigan State actually overlooks them, like I think this
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is a sandwich spot. So yeah, there's a lot that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I like about this. Iowa plus the points is the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is the play there? Sorry I didn't leave the Iowa
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: graphic up there, but there you go, Iowa plus the points?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: All right? To move on here? Next up another play
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: for me? How about this? We're gonna take Syracuse plus
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: eight against Tennessee. Actually you can get about nine on
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: this now the line's moving up. It looks like the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: money's kind of coming in against me. But this is
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a pretty low total here as well, at one forty six.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So oh, I see what's going on here? Dude, streamer
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: changed everything so the banner. The banner will only last
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: ten seconds now. I wonder if I could change that,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: but let me see. I think I can. Yeah, No,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it looks like I can't. What hold on? Tim are off? Yeah, dude,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Why is there a timer on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: this thing? What it's it's like defaulting to a time er.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I'll try to fix that at some point. I don't
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: know why they do that now, but yeah, we're gonna
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: be on Syracuse there it is. Yeah, it's working with
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: no time or dude, Streamer keeps changing things and it's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: throwing me off. Anyway, Uh, Syracuse plus eight is gonna
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: be the play here or actually you can get plus
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: nine on it. Like I said, it looks like you
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: can get it. We'll call it eight and a half
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: right now. Probably you can probably get the eight and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a half on it. But yeah, I mean Tennessee, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: mean they've been a team that plays slow for a while,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: even though it looks like they play a little bit
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: faster this year, but they're a team that is more
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Usually they're more defense oriented and they play slower, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: this year, I mean they're not too much different from that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: They're still in like basically they're in the slower half
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of teams tempo wise still right now, and better defensively
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: than offensively, although they look more balanced this year. But
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I believe Tennessee still has the same coach if I'm
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, right, So I don't see them really changing
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: their like their style of team completely to that degree.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But I think Tennessee's in a very bad spot, dude.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, we faded them in their last game, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we got to win with Kansas because Tennessee had pulled
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: off a massive upset of Houston. It wasn't massive as
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: far as the how big, like how big a favorite
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Houston was there, like a three point favorite, But it
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: was a huge win because beating Houston is a big deal.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: But also it was even bigger for Tennessee because Houston
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: knocked them out of the tournament last year. So that
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: was a huge win for Tennessee. They came off of that,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: they were a little bit flat, but they still played
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: competitively and they lost by five to Kansas. We got
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Kansas right as the underdog there. But now Tennessee's coming
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: off of that and that was their first loss of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the season. And you know how I talk about this,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: when a team takes their first loss of the season,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes that actually sets up a hangover as well. Now
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: they have to go up to Syracuse, so they're not
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: really used to playing. They have to go play in
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the Carrier Dome or whatever it's called now up there.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: It's a crazy environment up there. Man, this is gonna
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: be their first true road game of the season, which
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you know I talk about that being a difficult position
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to be in and then after this they got to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: turn around on Saturday and play Illinois and then Louisville,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and those are both ranked teams. Those are much bigger games.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I think they might overlook the Syracuse team that's been
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: down for a while. Man, and that's gonna be back
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee, by the way, in Nashville for the Music
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: City Tournament whatever that is there against Illinois. So this
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: looks like a pretty big sandwich spot to me, first
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: true road game sandwiched in between bigger games. Kansas, obviously
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a blue blood, was a big deal coming off their
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: first loss of the season as well. Tennessee is a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: lot that I don't like about the spot for Tennessee
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: here Syracuse. I mean, they're sitting at four and three,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: nobody's really gonna want to deal with them. But they
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: played those same teams Houston, and they took Houston into overtime.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So Syracuse definitely was competitive in that game against Houston.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That's a good sign. If Syracuse could play very competitively
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: against Houston, and then people might look at see, oh, well,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: they lost to Kansas as well, even a little bit worse.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So Syracuse did a little bit worse than Tennessee did
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: against Houston and Kansas. But yeah, we know that Tennessee
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: is better than Syracuse. But should they be laying eight
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: points on the road here in this one. I don't
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: think so. Now Syracuse is coming off their ugliest loss
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of the season to Iowa State. Iowa State's very good man,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and yeah, Syracuse lost that game by thirty one points.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But I think Syracuse is just kind of dead after
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: they took Houston to overtime. It was just kind of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I think we won actually fading them after that. We
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: won with Kansas. We won with Kansas twice in that
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Vegas tournament there, so after that, Syracuse I think they
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: just had nothing left, like they were done in that tournament. Basically,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: now that they got embarrassed in that last game of
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the tournament, I think this is gonna be a big
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: deal for them on ESPN two, hosting Tennessee back at home.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a sea of orange, both teams orange.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But we're going with the literal orange in this one.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Syracuse plus the points. All right, what else do we
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: want to talk about here? I don't know, man, Let's see,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if if any of these games are
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: really interesting. I mean New Mexico State South Alabama might
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: be somewhat interesting where New Mexico State's a two and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite here they're six and zero in
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: South Alabama seven and one. But it's interesting because South
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Alabama just bounced back from their first loss. Or I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: thought they were gonna be in a huge hangover spot
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: after losing to UAB and in state rival playing them
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: really tough, but they came back and they killed me,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like destroying Utsa on the road. Now they're back home.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good sign if they played well
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: in a spot that wasn't very good. But the ospeakers
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: are telling you New Mexico State's actually the better team
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in this one. But I mean they do have a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: couple of nice wins in here against New Mexico Samford.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You see a revine. This game is not a true
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: road game either. This game for some reason is in Katy, Texas.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. So the venue actually
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: might be more advantageous to New Mexico State. South Alabama
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I think is a little bit further away from this venue.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So it's an interesting one. Yeah, I mean, the money
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: looks like it's somewhat coming in towards New Mexico State,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: but ninety percent tickets, ninety eight percent of the cash,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: They're a slight favor here to two and a half.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to really disagree with that side, but
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I just don't really have much of a feel on that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just thought it was kind of weird
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that those teams are playing in in Katie, Texas Syracuse
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: scoring less every game. Well, I mean, the Houston game
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: went into overtime, so that was obviously gonna be higher
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: scoring for that reason. Kansas is also a good defensive team,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and then Iowa State is really really good and also
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: good defensively Kent bumb As Iowa State fourth in the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: country overall and on defense. And again I mean that,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm that result was kind of an outlier, Like you're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna lose many games by thirty plus points. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I just think that it was just the situation they
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: just didn't have anything left in that game. Like I'm
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: not looking at like the fact that they that they
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: scored less in that game. I don't give a shit, Like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, I think it makes Syracuse be
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: worth more here because they didn't look good in that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: last game Jackson State and Kansas State. Just so I
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: could talk about my pals, Jackson State kanessas State's coming
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: up winning at Florida Gulf Coast in overtime. Florida Gulf
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Coast was a slight favorite in this one, but Kennesaw
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: did go in there and beat them in their home arena.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So it was a pretty pretty big win for Knasaw
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: coming off of that. But Jackson State, I mean, what
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: do we think about them? I mean, they finally got
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: a win, and they pulled off an upset on the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: road at Louisiana. And I told you Jackson State, the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: fact that they're battle testing themselves is gonna come in
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: handy later in the season, like once again to conference play.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We're not even in conference play yet, but they were
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: able to pull off a win at Louisiana. I think
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: just because Jackson State is finally like they're battle tested,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: so they're starting to play decently against some of these
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: weaker teams because they played so many strong teams earlier.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: They do have Houston up next, which is maybe a concern,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: but I think they might show up for this game
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: against KNISA on the fact that Jackson State finally has
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a win. I think that's a good thing. But they
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: did pull off an upset, so they could be in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a letdown off of pulling off a fairly substantial upset actually,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: because there's not really that good of a team. But
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: getting that first win sometimes we'll give you momentum. So
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of things going on in this game.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: If you like Jackson State, you're getting fourteen points in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: this one. I mean, I would probably towards taking the points,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: even though I worry about playing on a team that's
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: coming off a big upset. So I don't know. Not
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: much else to say about that, really, but it's kind
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of interesting Cornell is that George Mason. George Mason just
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: had a nice win against James Madison, which is they're
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: like in state. It's an in state situation, like a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: sibling rivalry if you will, both teams in Virginia, I believe,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: or is George Mason in DC? I forget? I think
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they're in Virginia. Yeah, this is in Fairfax, Virginia. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: think that's where they are. Now they get Cornell and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: up next they got Virginia Tech. That's a big deal.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: George Mason getting to face one of the big boys
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: in Virginia, an ACC team as well. So it's a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of kind of a Virginia sam which year
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: that George Mason is in Cornell. They're off to a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: decent start, They're pretty decently road tested so far. They
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: played some road games in here. They're coming off a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: blowout win on the road against buck Noll. I mean,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: buck Noll is pretty bad, but Cornell definitely did what
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: they needed to get done in that game. They're getting
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of points here. George Mason eleven point favorite,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: eighty three percent. Tay is ninety nine percent of the cash.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I would probably take Cornell plus the points in that game,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: but not a play for me. It's it's kind of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: an interesting one, all right. I don't know. I didn't
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: necessarily want to talk about every single one of these
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: games though, just games that kind of have interesting situations. Maybe.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, have Florida A and M against Jacksonville. Jacksonville
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: just took a pretty ugly loss on their home Florida Pacific.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: They might bounce back from that going up against Florida
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: A and M. Florida A and M has played like
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the fewest games in in college basketball. I'll probably the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: only played four games. They haven't played since like November
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: seventh or something. I don't know how the s or
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: seventeenth my mistake. It's a little bit less extreme, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that's still pretty wild. I don't know how the scheduling
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: winds up like this in college basketball. But Florida A
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and M, maybe having all that time off will help
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: them because they don't have a win yet, so sometimes
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: getting that huge break will let you like push the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: reset button a little bit. They're a terrible team though,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: but to me, it looks like both teams are in
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: positive spots here. So I don't know. Jacksonville's up to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a ten and a half way favorite. I would probably
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: still lay it with Jacksonville if I was gonna do that,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just thought that was interesting.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: And we have some of these early season games being
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: canceled too, Like yesterday Chicago State their game was canceled
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: because South Carolina State wasn't able to travel due to weather.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, everything is just getting so pussified, dude, Like
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous, Like you're playing in a fucking arena,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: like you're saying that you can't get to where you're
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: needing to go just because it's like snow or something.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it makes no sense, dude, Like, stop being
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of bitches. Eastern Michigan is at Butler. Butler,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: they looked like they were in kind of letdown spot
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: for beating South Carolina and Virginia and playing Smuta off
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the game prior to those, so three pretty big games
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: in a row, and they then had to face Right State,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: but they blew Right State out of the building. So Butler,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: nice performance. They're in a bad spot. So maybe I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: don't know that, maybe it's a decent sign for Butler
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: coming into this one that they won't be in any
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: sort of like in this case, they might be in
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a look ahead spot because they do have Boise up next,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: so maybe they still overlook Eastern Michigan. Eastern Michigan has
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: been playing pretty well. Man. I thought that we had
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: gotten to win fading them with nj T. But I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: think NJI team missed that cover by like one point
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: or something, which is really irritating to me because Eastern
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Michigan had pulled off the upset over Cincinnati. I mean,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: they're playing pretty competitively. And now all of this, they're
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: going on the road to face Butler. You know, Eastern
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Michigan's gonna step up for a game against Butler. Butler
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: is looking like they're getting some of the money for
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: now seventy five percent tickets, ninety nine percent of the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: cash on them, seventeen and a half point favorite. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: would probably lean towards taking the points in this game, though,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: But again, I mean, these are just small opinions for
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: me that just don't have much weight. So, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island against Brown is interesting because this is a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: situation where Brown is gonna get up for this, because
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: this is a big brother, little brother situation where Rhode
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Island's the bigger brother in Rhode Island over Brown. Brown's
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: next game is actually gonna be against Bryant, as I mentioned,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: which is a little brother to Brown. But Rhode Island's
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: next game is against I think what they considered to
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: be a bigger brother to them, which is Providence, the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: big East team in their conference. So I think this
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: might be a look ahead for Rhode Island. Man, they
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: just got a nice win over Temple in their previous game.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Possible they overlook Brown man, the little brother that usually
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: does not beat them. Brown with a little bit of
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: momentum beating some ugly teams in Maine and unh American
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: East teams. Another road game here, but staying you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: pretty close to home here, big big little brother situation.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I would take the points in this one with Brown.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting one how that sets up with all
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the big little brothers in Rhode Island. There seventy five
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: percent of tickets eighty two percent of the cash Rhode Island,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: up from thirteen and after fourteen. So money looks like
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it's coming in on Rhode Island to some extent early.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would probably take the points with Brown.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to another play here. We're gonna
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: take the points in East Tennessee State. I'm still not
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: used to this stupid ban or timer here. I'm gonna
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: have to like, I don't know, like see if there's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: a way to set like take that thing off by
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: default or something. Oh, it looks like you can yeah, yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: time or off. Yeah you can do that here. All right,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I figured out a way, so tomorrow I'll have that
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: figured out. Yeah, East Tennessee State plus the points they're
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: gonna fade Dayton. Dayton off to a pretty good start here,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: but look at what Dayton has done recently, man. I mean,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they beat Georgetown and OT on Thursday, and then they
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: lost to BYU W in a close matchup. This is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: down in Florida, the Terry's Chocolate Event in wherever this
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: was a Simmi Florida. BYU was ranked in the top
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: ten in the country and Dayton played them really close. Man,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: this is a big performance from Dayton. They're a pretty
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: decent sized underdog in this game, and Dayton pretty much
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: took BYU right to the wire very close late in
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the game. So Dayton's having to come off of that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be in a bit of a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: hangover spot. And they got to turn around and play
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Virginia on Saturday, man, so that's another big deal. And
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be in Charlotte, North Carolina in some neutral
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: site game there. That's big, man. And that Dayton loss
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: also broke a windstream leek for them as well, so
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I think it could be an extra hangover effect coming
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: from that too. I don't like the spot at all. Plus,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: as I pointed out, Dayton plays fairly slow, although they've
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: actually played a little bit faster than you would think recently.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: But Dayton's also not really that good. Ken Bum has
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: them sixty fifth in the country. They're still in the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: bottom half pacing wise, and they're barely cracking the top
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: one hundred offensively. So they're a much better defensive team
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and offensive teams. That's a team that you don't really
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: want to be laying a lot of points with, and
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: we have successfully faded them at least once as a
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: favorite here, so we're doing it again here East Tennessee State.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: They're playing pretty well. They're six and one. They might
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: be one of the better teams of the Soacon this year,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: although they haven't really been tested yet, so maybe that's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a worry. But you know they're
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: gonna step up for this because this is one of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: their biggest games. This is like their biggest game of
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the season so far, getting to play Dayton, So I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna show up for it. Yeah, they haven't
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: been as good on the road, I mean mostly because
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they're one loss was this rend just lost to Presbyterian
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: on the road, so that is ugly. But they had
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: a better road performance beating North Alabama on the road
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: after that, so they've kind of come back to form
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: and they've won against weak opponents and blowouts over their
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: last two games. So they're definitely in rhythm right now.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be overconfident after beating bad
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: opponents like JOA Monroe and Central Arkansas. So we will
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: we'll go with this one. We'll take the points with
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: East Tennessee wherever they are here. Yeah, the money looks
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: like it agrees. It's also a low total here at
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: one forty one, So again, you're looking at a game
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it's expected to be at a slower pace. East Tennessee
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: plays pretty slow as well. They're in the bottom third,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: so expected to be a slow paced game. You're getting
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of points. Fifty five percent of the tickets
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: are on Dayton money, the line hasn't really moved, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: then eighty percent of the cash on East Tennessee. So yeah,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: we're taking the points in that one. East Tennessee State
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: saw what's man, You're going against the Bruins. I don't
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. I mean, I just I'm a Bruins fan,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but I don't I think they're gonna lose. I mean,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you know me, I'm a Bruins fan, I'm a handicaper,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: so I'll I'll tell it like it is. I mean,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like bet on the Bruins just because
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: they're my team. It's it's gonna have to be all
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: about the spot, and I don't like the spot for them.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: All right, what else are we looking at here? I
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: don't even know, man, my man, my voice is just
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: not holding up. Dude, I'm sorry, I just don't know
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: what to do about my voice here. We got fairly
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Dickinson against Providence. I mean, maybe Providence is in somewhat
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of a bad spot. Is they just played Wisconsin in Florida,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: although they lost both games, but still they covered against Florida,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: so they did play fairly competitively. This was way out
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. And how Providence is having to come
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: all the way back from that, And they do have
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island up next, and then and then Butler, so
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: they've in state little Brothers coming up, and Rhode Island's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: been playing pretty well as well, so and then Butler
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: after that. So much bigger games on the horizon, So
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: possible Providence does not show up in full force for
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: this game against Fairley Dickinson. Fairley Dickinson, they played some
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good opponents in here, Iowa State, Texas. They got
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: wiped out by both of them because they're not a
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: good team. But I mean Fairly Dickinson there at least
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna be intimidated by going to Providence. So I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: would take the points with FDU and that one. But
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the money looks like it totally disagrees with it with
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Providence up to twenty eight eighty four percent of tickets
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the cash on Fairly Dickinson. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know how Fairly Dickinson is a public underdog there.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I don't really agree with it. I would probably take
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the points there, but certainly not a play for me.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: We got some big conference matchups here, four in a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: row to talk about here. The Red Wings are favored
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: by that much. They're way better team the Bruins. I mean,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the Bruins are overperforming. Red Wings are are underperforming right now.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: The Red Wings are way better than the record looks.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: They're definitely the better team over the Bruins. They were
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: favored on the road against the Bruins, all right, Virginia
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Tech at South Carolina. Virginia Tech coming off pretty ugly
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: loss to VCU, but I mean they were coming off
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: their first loss of the season to Saint Mary's the
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: game before that, so maybe a bit of a hangover,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and they'd have been bounced from whatever tournament that was
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: out in the Bahamas or whatever it was, So maybe
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they just didn't really just they just packed it in.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I think didn't really pay attention. VCU wanted that game
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: more as a little brother against Virginia Tech. Well, the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: VC is the better team too, but that was a
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing loss. So maybe Virginia Tech will be in
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: a bounce back from that. But it is their first
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: true road game of the season, so that's pretty difficult.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I don't like that when you're on your first true
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: road game. And even though I know I gave out
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a play on one team, it's in a spot like
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: that with Iowa, but I felt that was a little
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: bit of a different scenario. South Carolina they're coming out
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: of an ugly game against Charleston Southern where they didn't
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: cover and didn't play well, and I had said that
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: they would be looking ahead to this game, and they
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: were coming up of a tough game against Northwestern and
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: a tough game against Butler the game before that. South Carolina.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: They're up to a one nap point favorite, but the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: money is coming in against them, nine ticket seventy eight
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash on South Carolina. I think maybe
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the thought here is that, oh, the SEC is better,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: so let's play the SEC team. But South Carolina they're
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: probably the worst team in the SEC in basketball. I mean,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: they're not that good. The oddsmakers are telling you Virginia
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Tech's the better team by only lining South Carolina as
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a one point favorite here one and a half. So
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: both teams to me look like they might show up
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: for this one in focus spots, So I would probably
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: take it with Virginia Tech in that when I think
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech probably gets the job done in that one.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: But first true road game not something I'm really interested in. Yeah, NBA,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: NHL games. Is there a Buffalo wild Wings in Poland?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I would guess probably there is not. Seems way too
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: American Warriors against OKC. I'm not, I'm not. That is
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: not gonna be one of my plays. I can tell
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: you that I don't even remember what my thoughts were
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: on that game. I probably don't really disagree with that,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: but that's that is not one of my plays. All right,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: what else do we have here? Dude? I gotta hold
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: on him. I gotta fix my voice. Man, I apologize
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: like I just don't know what's going on. I gotta
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: maybe blow my nose again, like reload on some more
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: water here. I know I have to keep doing this,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: but hang on a second. Bear with me. This is bad,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: all right? Oh man, I might have to bring like
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: a humidifier in here or something. I have one in
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: my bedroom, but I don't know. Uh, this is bad, dude.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, yep, it gets dark really early now.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: It is the winter. Same thing up here in New England. Man,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: oh god, that's gross. All the games are at yeah,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: weird times for you. All right. We got Oklahoma had
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: wig Forest. This is an interesting one as well, Oklahoma
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: coming off a nice win over Marquette, although I believe
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma was a decent favorite in this. One of Marquetes
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: not good this year, but this was in the Bad
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Boy Mowers series in Chicago. Still a pretty big win.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: And now Oklahoma is playing only their second true road
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: game and the first one didn't go well. They got
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: obliterated by Gonzaga, although Gonzaga is a different beast than Wake.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: But Wake has been good so far. Wake is sixty two.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: They played really well against Michigan and Texas Tech. So
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: this Wake team they might be kind of on the rise. Man,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: you gotta figure they're gonna show up here. I mean
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: they're coming off just an easy whatever win against the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Northeastern I kind of like Wake in this one. They're
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: four and a half point favorite, and they're that way
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: for a reason. Fifty three percent, take a sixty three
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash on them all as because they're
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: telling you Wake is actually the slightly better team. Ken
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Bomb has them at fortieth in the country right now,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: So Wake pretty good. Man, He's got Oklahoma. Where does
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: he have Oklahoma at? He's got Oklahoma way down at
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: sixty seconds, So yeah, yeah, I mean that's telling you something.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma not very good defensively either, whereas Wake is way
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: better defensively and the more balanced team. Wake also likes
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: to play faster than Oklahoma, so they're gonna be speeding
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: it up. I suppose it's interesting. I would lay the
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: points with Wake if I was gonna play that one.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: It's cool seeing them on the rise again because I'm
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: a Mugsy Bogues and Tim Duncan fan, so they go
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: people like all the nighttime stuff. Yeah, of course soccer
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: is like the big thing there. Texas A and M
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: at Pitt Uh, I think both teams are kind of
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: in bad spots here. Man, Texas A and M they've
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: only played one true road game so far, and it
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: was bad. They got blown out by Oklahoma State, who's
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: not great. Texas A and M. Now they're coming off
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: annihilating Florida State. Florida State is not great right now,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: but that's still that's a win that might have you
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit cocky. And after they played Pitt they
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: do have SMU and that's gonna be a big game
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: between two Texas schools. So I think this is a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: bad spot for Texas A and M. But it is
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: also a bad spot for PITT because you remember we
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: got the win with them on Friday against Ohio State
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and they won that game on a buzzer beater for
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the second straight year. They did that to Ohio State.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: And I know Ohio State is not great, but that's
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: still a big win for pitt Man, so they could
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: be in a letdown spot here too. And last year,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: if you remember, after they pulled off that buzzer beater
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: last year in overtime against Ohio State, the very next game,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: they were horrible. They were on the road though, but
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: it was against an SEC to the Mississippi State and
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: they got annihilated ninety to fifty seven. So somebody keep
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: in mind there. But yeah, it could be a letdown
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: spot for Pitt there. I don't like it for either team. Man,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Like when pitt pulled off that buzzer beater, I was thinking, like,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: who are they playing next? Let's fade them. But I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: don't love Texas A and M in the spot either. Though.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: The money's coming in on A and M. They're up
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to a three point favorite, seventy nine percent tickets, ninety
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: six percent of the cash. All that's bikers telling you
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: they're the better team. Bad spot for both teams, though,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I guess I'm not gonna
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: really disagree with A and M there, but I don't
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: love it by any means. The biggest game of the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: day is at seven point thirty on ESPN between Florida
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: and Duke. And this is at Duke, returning champs Florida
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: up against the team they got bounced in the Final four, Duke. So,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I think Duke might be playing with a little bit
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: of a chip on their shoulder, man, thinking that they
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: should have been in that championship game with a shot
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: against Florida last year. They're gonna want to seize the
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: opportunity here to beat Florida. Florida, I mean they're not
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: looking as good this year, man. I mean they haven't
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: stepped up in class very well at all. Losing to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Arizona although Arizona looks good, barely beating Florida State, not
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: impressively beating Miami, losing to TCU, and then not covering
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: against Providence. I mean, Florida has not really done anything
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: impressive yet. Man. So I don't know how good this
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Florida team is right now, and now this is gonna
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: be their first true road game going to Cameron Indoor
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't look good to me, man, Duke. They did just
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: beat Arkansas, that's a big win, but there's no way
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna show up for this game against the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: returning champs. So I like Duke in the spot but
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be asked to lay a decent price with
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Duke here an eight point favorite, fifty seven percent of tickets,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: eighty percent of the cash in them. But do I
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: want to really lay points with Duke as kind of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: a slow down team? And not really? Although Florida does
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: not like to play that way. Florida likes to speed
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the game up. Duke plays slow, which is why the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: total is just kind of out there in no man's
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: land in the one fifties, because it's like, well, which
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: way is this gonna go? Probably somewhere in the middle,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: but Duke slowing it down will probably frustrate Florida. But
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: it also means it's a little bit more difficult to
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: cover a number like that when you're trying to slow
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the game down at the same time. But yeah, overall,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: if I was gonna play it, I would it with
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Duke in that one. Yeah, I do like Duke in
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: that one. It's not a play for me though. All Right.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: What else we have going on Purdue is that Rutgers here.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Purdue undefeated to start the season. They got a couple
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of nice wins in here against Alabama, Texas Tech, UH
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: decent win against Memphis Akron. That's a pretty decent win
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: as well. Actually Akron covered for US in that game,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: by the way as well, Uh Perdue. I mean they've
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: they've done some things for us. I mean, we got
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: the win with them against Alabama. Do we have them
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: against Texas Tech two? I don't. I don't remember if
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: we did or if we didn't, I forget, but Purdue,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: they came up with that and in a bad spot
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: they won by a huge amount anyway against Eastern Illinois.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I mean Eastern Illinois is terrible. Purdue is going back
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: on the road here. I mean, they did beat Alabama
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: on the road, So now they're going to Rutgers. You know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: not really gonna be a spot where they're gonna be
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: completely thrown off by doing that. But they do have
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Iowa State up next on Saturday, so it may be
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a look ahead spot even though
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: this will be they're Big ten opener, but you know, Rutgers,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, they'll show up for it, even though they're
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: not a good team. Rutgers, I mean, this is their
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Big ten home open or against the number one team
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in the country, so or at least the team is
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: ranked there so it's a big deal for Rutgers. I
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: mean as possible that Purdue does overlook them a little
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: bit here. Purdue wants to slow the game down, and
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be asking them to cover a big road
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: favorite number here, So I don't like that either. Rutgers,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: you just gonna win against UNLV out in Las Vegas.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: So they salvaged that tournament after losing to Tennessee and
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. I mean, they weren't horrible in those games
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: against Tennessee and Notre Dame. UNLV is their best win
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: so far. But obviously Purdue different animal. But Purdue, I mean,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: if you want them, you're gonna be asking them to
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: win by a huge margin here on the road, which
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just not sure I see that happen, and I
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: would probably need towards taking the points with Rutgers here.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Purdue down from sixteen to fifteen and a half, fifty
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: eight percent of tickets eighty eight percent of the cash
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: on the Rutgers side. Don't really disagree with Rutgers there.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Houston Christian in North Texas and North Texas, they're coming
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: off a game where they barely beat Prairie View A
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: and M and Prairie View A and M is a
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: terrible team. So that was a very bad performance from
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: North Texas. So they should bounce back from that, you
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: would think. But they do have to turn around and
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: play TCU in their next game, so it is fairly
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: it could be a fairly big look. I had spot
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: there for North Texas, So which way is it going
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: to go? You know what I mean? Like I kind
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: of lean more towards them being refocused here because that
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: what happened last affects you a little bit more. And
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: they had a really bad game, barely beating Prairie View
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: A and M Houston Christian. You know they're going to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: show up for it, though, because they're an in state
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: little brother here and they're coming up with a pretty
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: ugly loss to Georgia Southern. So I don't know which
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: way is it gonna go? So and for North Texas,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I mean asking them to lay like double digits as
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: a slow down team like they are, I don't love
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: doing that either. They are up to twelve and a
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: half here, the total is incredibly low on one hundred
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: and twenty six and a half, meaning every point is
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: worth more there, So I don't know, man, even though
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: I think maybe North Texas does bounce back and maybe
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I would lean that way, there's no way you're gonna
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: find me laying points like that. Wagner is that Maryland.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Maryland got blown out against Gonzaga and Alabama out in
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas after they beat you NLV, so maybe it
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: will be good for them to be back home off
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of that, and maybe they will bounce back. But they
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: do have to go to Iowa and then Michigan after this.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: They have two huge games after this, big ten games,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: one against one of the top teams in the country
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: right now, so it is also possible they kind of
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: just want to get in and get out here against Wagner.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: And as far as I know, Maryland's best player is
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: still hurt. I don't even know if he's coming back
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: this year. No, no, I'm wrong. He's back, Farrell Payne.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be out for like the season,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: but he is back. Actually, he came back for the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Vegas Tournament. I didn't even realize that. So this Maryland
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: team they do have him back. At least I haven't
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: paying that much attention to Maryland games. But also Wagner
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: is terrible, So there is that too. Wagner did finally
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: get a win though, so they got their first win
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: of the season, and sometimes when you get your first
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: win of the season, it gets that monkey off your
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: back and you play better. Although it was only a
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: small upset against Manhattan, it was on the roadbot you know,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Wagner stepped up their game for Manhattan. That was a
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: big win for them because this is you know, a
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: borrow rivalry because Wagner's a Staten Island school, so going
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: to Manhattan and beating the big deal there. So I mean,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I still think they'll try to show up for a
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: game against Maryland, though Maryland's a twenty two point favorite
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: total in one hundred and forty two and a half
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: pretty low total. I mean, I don't know. I wouldn't
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: really want to lay the points with Maryland in that game,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean, it's a tough call
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: in that game. I just thought there were some interesting
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: components to it. Morehead State and Murray State. I mean,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Murray State pulled off that upset against George Washington to
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: finish off the Cayman Islands Classic and get a win there,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: so they might be in a little bit of a
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: letdown spot off of that. Morehead State hasn't won on
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: the road yet, although they played some fairly difficult teams Wake, Georgia, Clemson.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Those are not easy. East Tennessee's fairly good as well.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Morehead coming up losing to that IU Indy team that
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: really pushes the pace against you, Yeah, I mean, I
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they'll be a little bit tired out
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: after that. I mean I kind of lean against Murray
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: State though, because Murray State is coming back from that
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: huge upset, but they are undefeated at home. Morehead hasn't
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: won on the road yet, so that's something to take
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: into account a little bit there as well, though some
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: of those games are usually against upcakes and whatever. Though
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Murray State is up to an eighteen and a half
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: point favorite, it looks like the money is starting to
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: come in on that side. I somewhat disagree with it,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: though I might look towards taking the points, but I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: don't love it. Washington State in Bradley is weird. Bradley
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: seven and a half point favorite of this game. So
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: the Oswekers are telling you that Bradley, despite being in
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: the Missouri Valley, they're actually a better team than Washington State.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Washington State out in the WCCNE now, and people are
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: gonna look at this and think that it's too many points.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I think is Washington State's got the bigger name. The
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: record isn't that much worse, so I think the public's
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have a tendency to want to take the points
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: in this game if they see it. Washington State is
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: coming back from Hawaii, so it's not a really easy
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: travel spot for them, even though they didn't do that
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: well in Hawaii. But Washington State, and they're true road games,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: they've been pretty bad. They lost at Davidson horrible, pretty
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: horribly by sixteen, and then they barely beat Shamanad out
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: in that Maui thing which was hosted by Shamanad the
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Division two team there. Washington State did get the cover
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: for us though, if you got the earlier numbers against
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Arizona State. But then after that pretty ugly loss to
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Seaton Hall, now they have to go to Bradley. I mean,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really love that spot, but Bradley's coming of
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: a nice upset win. I think it was an upset
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: over Liberty, so that's a big win for Bradley too,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, I mean, the public looks
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: like they're actually kind of on the Bradley side. Sixty
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: tickets only fifty four percent of the cash after the
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: line did move up a little bit on them. Man,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: it's a difficult call here in Mancus. Maybe Washington State
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: does bounce back from playing ugly in the last game.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I would lean towards taking the
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: points there. I mean, that's a tough call. I don't
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: really have a good opinion on that game. Next up,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: we have another play here, which I think this is
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: my last one for college basketball. We're gonna take Valpo
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: plus the nineteen and a half against Marquette. This is
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: a Marquette team that, even though Shaka Smart is so,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: they're they're just not that good this year. Man. As
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: a total, that's low, although it's going up a little
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: bit up to one hundred and forty eight. But Marquette
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: typically under Shaka Smart likes to play fast, and that
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: seems to not be the case here. Sixty two. I mean,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: it's yeah. I mean, there's a reason why the total
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: is that is this low. Sixty two To take its
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: ninety six percent of the cash on Marquette's the money
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: kind of coming in a Marquette here, but I do
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: not like it. Now. I know Ken bumb will tell
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you the Valpo is an overrated team, like they're high
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: up in his luck index, and I usually don't like
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: playing teams that are high in the luck index. But
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: this is kind of about the spot. Marquette just had
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: that difficult game against Oklahoma Man, which I think was
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, so Marquette should have had more of a
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: fan base there, and they lost by one. That is
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a difficult game, man. Now they're coming off of that,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and after Valpo they're going to turn around on Saturday
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: and play Wisconsin. That's a huge game. Man. That's a
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin rivalry because Marquette is in. I think those two
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: teams play every year. Marquette considers themselves to be the
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: little brother. So I think this is basically a sandwich spout.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: The Marquette is in and they play Purdue the game
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: after that the following week. So I don't like the spot, man, Marquette.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: They also have not stepped up well in class. I mean,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: all their wins are against really really weak opponents. They
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: beat Albany, Southern. I know Southern has played well in
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: some of their games. They're not horrible for a swack team,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: but still it's not like they're good so Marquette. I mean,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: they're a big East team. They should be beating good teams,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: but they're not. Like their wins are against Albany, Southern,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Central Michigan, and Little Rock. I mean just not impressive. Man,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: and I mean Valpo. I think VALPOI is probably better
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: than all of those teams, but Valpo is worse than
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: all the teams that Marquette has lost to. So it's like,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: which way is this gonna go? Because Marquette has lost
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: to Indiana, Maryland, Dayton, and Oklahoma and they were competitive
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: and all those games against except Indiana. But still this
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Marquette team, they look like they're kind of on the
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: downward trajectory. Man, Valpo might be a little bit on
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: the rise, even though their name is really really laying now.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: They had to get rid of the Crusader's name because
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: you can't talk about spreading Christian Andy. Man Valpo coming
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: on a nice win over Western Michigan where they blew
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: them out, but I don't think that's gonna have them.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: You know, feeling overconfident. I mean, this is a huge
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: game against Marquette, and I don't think they'll really be
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: intimidated because they did play on the road against Kentucky earlier.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: They got blown out, but they at least do have
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a road game against a really good team under their belt.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: And Marquette is not as good as Kentucky, so there
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: is that too. Valpo did have a blowout win on
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: the road against Cleveland State at least, so they were
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: able to get a nice road well, not a nice
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: road win, but a road win. Nonetheless there against the
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Cleveland State team. It's not good, but whatever. Yeah, all
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: of that being said, I like the spot better for Valpo,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: even though I know Valpo is high up in the
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: luck index here with Ken Bomp, so I don't love
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: that he has Marquette very unlucky right now. So I know,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: I don't love that he does have Marquette as a
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: fast paced team, Valpo is gonna want to slow the
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: game way down, so I think this is gonna be
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: a PAC. In contrast, it's gonna kind of be a
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: matter of which team wins out in the pacing. But
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: is Marquette really gonna be incentivized to go all out
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: when they do Wisconsin next. I mean, the oddspeaker seemed
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: to be saying no, that they think this is gonna
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: be somewhat of a slower paced game. So maybe Marquette
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: just won't really have the incentive to really really run
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: the floor here. And Valpo, I mean, for a lesser team,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: it is at least easier for them to slow the
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: pace down. But usually the better team and the road
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: excusely the better team and the home team usually has
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: the easier has the easier time doing it though, controlling
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the pace. Sacramento State and Baylor Baylor, I mean, they're
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: a team that usually doesn't play fast, Baylor, so you're
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: asking him to lay a lot of points as a
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: team that slows it down. Maybe not a great spot
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: for them here either, and not good to lay points
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: of the slowdown team. Really, Baylor, they're coming back from
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I think they were in Las Vegas, and they played
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: fairly well in that tournament, beating Creighton and San Diego State,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: only losing to Saint John's beating San Diego State to
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: finish the tournament off, and they have Memphis up next,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: so it looks like a spot where maybe they will
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: just overlook Sacramento State here. Although Sacramento State they're not
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: a good team, and I don't know, man, I mean,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: they just have not been good on the road so
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: far this year, although they at least won't be intimidated
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: because they did play UCLA Cal on the road, but
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: they were pretty non competitive in those games. So I
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't know which way it's gonna
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: go here. I would probably lean towards taking the points
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: of Sacramento State, though Baylor's up to twenty nine and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite. You might get thirty on this one.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Total is kind of in the mid range there, fifty
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: nine whatever, Yeah, just kind of a weird on there. Uh,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Central Michigan and Loyola Chicago. Loyal Chicago, even though they're
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: one in seven, they're like a seven point favorite in
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: this game is six and half way favorites. Like the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: odds makers are still doing this and telling you that
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Loyola Chicago is going to like be in form at
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: some point. I don't know if they are, man. I mean,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: ken bum as Loyola plummeting in his rankings right now.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have been really, really bad, so maybe
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the odds, maybe the market just hasn't caught up to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: them yet. Central Michigan is not good either, but I
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if they're that much worse than Loyola such,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: you know, just such an extent that they should be
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: that much of an underdog at this point. I just
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: thought that game was interesting. Loyal Chicago looks like they're
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: taking the money to seventy one percent to take as
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: ninety one percent of the cash. I don't think I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: would want to do it with how bad they've been,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: although I do always say a team usually is not
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: as bad as they look when they're at their worst.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. Man, the total down to one
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: forty in that game as well. Uh, Sam Houston's at
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. I would probably lean against Oklahoma State here, man,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're undefeated. They've had a couple of good
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: wins in here against A and M Texas A and M,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: and then they went on the road and they beat Northwestern.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: That was a nice win for Oklahoma State there. Now
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: they're coming back home over that big win, and they
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: do have Grand Canyon up next. It's kind of an
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: upstart team now in the Mountain West, so it is
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: possible this is a sandwich spot, or at least a
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: letdown spot after they pulled off a mild upset on
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the road against the Northwestern So I would probably lean
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: towards taking the points with Sam Houston. Sam Houston has
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: been playing well. They actually played fairly decently on the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: road against Texas Tech and Utah. They played Utah very
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: competitively actually, although Utah is not exactly great. But yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: I mean Sam Houston. They're on a nice little run
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm winning a few games in a row
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: against some weaker teams. They got some momentum. I don't
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: think they'll be intimidated because they didn't already play Texas
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Tech and Utah on the road. So yeah, I would
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: lead to Sam Houston here. Looks like the money does
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: agree with that. When Oklahoma State up to fourteen and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: a half, sixty four percent of tickets on them, seventy
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: five percent of the cash coming back on to sam Houston.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Another big game on ESPN two at nine pm. Number
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: five Yukon is going on the road to Kansas, Number
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Yukon decent resume so far with wins against
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: BYU and Illinois and a loss to Arizona, but Arizona's good.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: But now they're gonna face their first true road game
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: of the season here. Coming off that big win over
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Illinois looks like a difficult spot to me, man, going
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: up against Kansas. Kansas is not really in an easy
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: spot either though, after beating Tennessee and we know that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: they caught Tennessee coming up that big win over Houston,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: so that was a big win for Kansas and Kansas
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: actually won the championship. Oh no, this is the third
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: place game. I mistaken the players era because I don't
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: know why that was the third place game though, because
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I thought they won all their games out there whatever,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: unless it was Duke part of it. No, Duke wasn't
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: part of it, so I don't know what that was.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: But whatever, Apparently it was the third place. Maybe it
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: had to do with like overall margin of victory or something,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: but Kansas coming off of that. But still, you got
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: to think they're gonna be focused at home against Yukon.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Both teams play really well defensively, so I think it's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be a defensive struggle in this game. So kind
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: of getting any points with the home team seems to
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: make a bit of sense here. First, cher road game
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: for Yukon makes it a more difficult spot for them,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, I don't know how I can find
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I would lean towards Kansas year plus
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: the one and a half or two or whatever, seventy
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: percent of tickets ninety one percent of the cash on
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Kansas fairly low to all, though it's gone up to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: forty three, although I kind of think it undermakes sense
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: in a game like that where both teams are teams
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: that like to focus on defense and both teams like
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: to play slaw as well, So I think it's gonna
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: be a battle. I think Kansas may get the job
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: done in that one at home. Yeah, you don't like Kansas,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: neither do I, but at least Hunter Dickinson has gone,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: so it makes me hate them a little bit less.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: But I don't like Yukon really at all. I really
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: can't stand Dan Hurley either. But this is all about
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: the spot man trying to predict who's gonna win, all right.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: For Grand Canyon, they're coming off a pretty difficult loss
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: to Iowa Man and they'd beaten Utah of the game
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: before that. Now they get to host Stetson. I mean,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: how do you really get up for a game against Stetson?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And then they have Oklahoma State next,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: so it looks like a spot where Grand Canyon might
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: not really be up for this game. Although Stetson is
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: a pretty bad team, and this is gonna be the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: first time Stetson is leaving the Eastern time zone and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: they have to go out to Arizona, so that's certainly
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: not easy. I would probably take the points with Stetson
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: though in this game, if I was gonna play it,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I won't. But twenty four and a half point favorite.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: As a Grand Canyon is, the total is down to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: one forty three. Again, it's we'll see what happens this
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: type of game. Nichols is at Creighton. I don't like
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the spot for Creighton here. Creyton is coming out of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: that Las Vegas tournament. They salvaged the last game by
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: beating Oregon. Nice win for them, and then turning around
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: after this. I think, Zach, this is your area, right.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Creighton is gonna be having to play Nebraska next. That
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: is a huge game. Those teams do not like each other.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: They're both in Nebraska. I think Nebraska is still considered
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: to be the big brother there in the state of Nebraska,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: so it looks like a sandwich spot here where Creighton
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: might just overlook Nichols. I know Nichols is own six,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: but they've played some fairly difficult opponents Kentucky on the road.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Valpo has been pretty good so far on the road,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Murray stayed on the road. Oklahoma stayed on the road.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Every game has been on the road so far. They're
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: only really bad losses at Eastern Illinois. Don't know what
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: that was, but maybe just because it was a sandwich
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: spot or a hangover spot off the Kentucky game. But
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: my hesitation with Nichols is they actually were in this
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: game against Julane in their last game as big underdogs.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Nichols was in this game, they were winning the game
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: in the second half, and they were still within like
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: a couple of possessions in the final few minutes of
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: the game. So they did not go away in that
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: game against Tulane. So that is my hesitation with it
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: that I don't really love either team in the game,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: but I would still take the points with Nichols. The
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: money still kind of agrees. Crating down from twenty one
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: to eighteen and a half. It looks kind of easy
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: to lay eighteen and a half with a team like
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Creighton that is a name like that against a winless
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Nickels state team. Total down to one forty four. So
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: if you do like taking the points, it's worth a
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: little bit more there. And I do think Creighton plays
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit slow now as well. Yeah, they're on
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: the slower side for sure, at two seventy fourth in
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: tempo according to Ken Bomb. For Creighton, Nichols plays like
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: kind of a mid tempo, so they aren't gonna be
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: really thrown off by playing slow. I wouldn't say so.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Interesting game there, like the you like the ruse of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, all right, Unfortunately they're they're not a good team.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Miami at ole Miss is an interesting one on the
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: SEC network. We've got a lot of big games tonight. Man,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: this is a situation where maybe I should do these
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Tuesday college basketball shows at night. Man, I don't know.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. They're coming off playing Iowa and Utah, both close.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Although the Utah game that was an upset though, so
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: ole Miss did lose that game in an upset to Utah.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. We can't see it because ESPN sucks right now.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: But ole Miss is a pretty big favorite in that game,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. So you could argue that Old Miss
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: might be in a bounced back spot now because maybe
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: they were in a hangover spot after that game against Iowa.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: So that was a big game against Iowa. Iowa. We
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: know they play slow now, they play physical now Ole
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Miss coming off that ugly loss and what looked like
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: it was a hangover spot, they probably will bounce back here,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: but they do have a big game against Saint John's
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: coming up next to them. Might be looking ahead to that.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Miami off to a decent start at six and two,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: but they've mostly beaten bad teams. I mean, their best
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: win is their most recent one against Georgetown. I don't
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be in a letdown spot though going
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: to face Old Miss. This is their first true road
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: game though, so that does make it difficult. And I
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: do think Old Miss is kind of in a bounced
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: back spot here, so I do still like Ole Miss
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: in this game. Miami has been fairly competitive against better opponents,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: though Florida and Byu losing those games by fourteen and ten.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no real shame in that Ole Miss
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: is up to a four point favorite, though the money
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: looks like it's coming back on Miami. But I would
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: probably lay it with Mississippi in this game. Fifty of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the tickets on Old Miss, eighty three percent of the
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: cash on Miami. But I like Old Miss in that one.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: All right. We got Georgia and Florida State. A lot
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: of big games here today. Man, Georgia coming off beating
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: us A, just annihilating Tennessee Tech and what I thought
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: was a bad spot, but they had a nice momentum
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: gaining win there. Now they're going out on the road,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: but it is the first true road game of the season,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: which probably won't be easy. And for Florida State, I mean,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: they're not great, but you know they're gonna get up
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: for a game against Georgia and they're coming off a
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: really ugly loss, losing ninety five to fifty nine at
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M. I know it's Texas A and M,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: but it's that's an embarrassing loss. You lose by that
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: margin to anybody. I think you're gonna bounce back from it.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, sure, Florida does have Houston up next, I
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: don't really see them looking ahead to that though. Florida State.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: I would agree with the Florida State side in this game.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: They flip from a two point dodge to one point favorite.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: So the money seems to agree with me on this one.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Seventy percent of tickets, ninety nine percent of the cash
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: on at Florida State, I agree. Won't be a play
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: for me, but I don't hate it. Missouri at Notre
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: d a interesting one. Missouri. I believe this is their
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: first Truro Oh no, it's their second Truro game, but
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: their only other one was against Howard, so this will
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: be a more difficult game than that. Obviously, Missouri really
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: has not been tested yet. I mean, the best opponent
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: they face so far as Minnesota, so they're gonna have
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: to step it off. And Notre Dame's not great though.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if Notre Dame is better
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: than Minnesota either, But this might be Missouri's most difficult
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: game because it is on the road. They do have
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: to turn around after this to play Kansas, which is
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: a fairly big deal because that's like kind of the
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: basketball version of the Border War rivalry there against against
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Kansas Missouri. They're ain't no, but again not probably not
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: as good as the record looks. Notre Dame's sitting at
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: five and three, but they're undefeated at home and they're
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: more battle tests, and I mean their losses are Ohio State, Kansas,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: and Houston. They didn't lose any of those games by
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: more than ten points, so I know they haven't beaten
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: anybody very good yet at all. But I mean their
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: biggest win is against Rutgers, so they've been competitive against
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: good teams, and they're more battle tested, and they're back
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: at home here, so I like Notre Dame in this one.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: They've flipped from a plus one and a half dogs
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: or two point favorites, so the initial line move was
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: on that side, but now sixty four percent of tickets
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: eighty four percent of the casual Missouri. But I would
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: lean to Notre Dame in that game. The other huge
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: game on ESPN the ESPN doubleheader is number sixteen North
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Carolina at number eighteen Kentucky. These teams are both good.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I think both these teams are gonna want to push
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: the pace and go fast because that's been the mo
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: of both these teams recently. Yeah, they're both gonna be
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: playing fast here. Ken Bomaskentucky about twenty rankings spots higher
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: than North Carolina. He has them as the better team.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree. North Carolina is coming out their first
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: loss of the season in Michigan State, and sometimes that
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: will hang you over, even though that game wasn't close,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm taking that first loss will hang you over.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: North Carolina does have one nice win well in the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: season against Kansas Kentucky. I mean they've lost both games
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: where they stepped up in class man so and they
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: lost well, I don't want to say substantially, but they
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: lost by eight to Louisville on the road, and they
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: lost in a neutral site I think, to Michigan State
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: by seventeen in Madison Square Garden. So Kentucky, they haven't
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: stepped up well in plast yet. So UNC's resume is
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: actually a little bit better than Kentucky's right now. So
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: what do we do with a game like this? I
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I mean the line dropped from eight
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: and a half to six. But now it looks like
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the money's coming into Kentucky. Fifty eight percent of tickets,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: ninety percent of the cash on them I mostly agree.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, Kentucky is still the better team. I think
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: it'll be difficult. If it's North Carolina's first truer road game,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: that's not easy. So and the factor coming up their
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: first loss. I won't disagree with Kentucky in that game,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't love it really either USC and Oregon.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: USC undefeated. They're in the rankings now, man, but maybe
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: that means they're gonna have a target on their back
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: at seven to zero. But how good are they really?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got taken a triple overtime by Troy,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: They barely beat Boise State, barely beat Seaton Hall, and
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: then their best win I guess is against Arizona State.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, USC won the Maui tournament, but they haven't
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: beaten anybody that impressive. And now they're coming up of that.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: They could be in a letdown spot here, man, off
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: of winning that tournament in Maui, now this is their
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: first true road game, having to go to Oregon. I
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: might add this as a play, to be honest, I
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: have some late night action. I mean, also, this line
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: is gonna look very very misleading, because, like USC, you're
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: only asking this USC team to lay two points in
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: this game, and they're an undefeated ranked team Oregon, I
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: mean I have some reservations with them, though, I mean
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: they haven't exactly looked great either. I mean, I'll still,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: I guess stay off of this game, but obviously I
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: like Oregon here. Oregon's best wins against Oregon State. I mean,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Oregon looked really bad in these first few games against
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: some weak opponents, and then they did get battle tested,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: and they went to Vegas and they played Auburn, San
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Diego standing Creighton not easy, but they lost all three
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: games by double digits. So I don't want to say
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: they were totally not competitive, but maybe that's not a
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: great sign. But they are more battle tested than USC
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: here they are at home here. I guess the other
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: hesitation with Oregon would be that the game was close
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: at one point late in the game against Creighton. Oregon
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: had this game close in the final like five minutes
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: of the game, so that does worry me a little bit.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: I guess that maybe they'll be in a bit of
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: a hangover after that, after that performance, So I guess
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I'll stay away, but I like Oregon in this one. Man,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna play it, I would take the points
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: with Oregon seventy per tickets on USC fifty two percent
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: of the cash on Oregon. That is the way on
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: lean in that game. Yeah, I mean the rest of
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: these games, I don't know. I mean they're decent games.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: You see San Diego at Nevada. This is gonna look
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: weird because you see San Diego seven and zero, but
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: then only played one true road game. So far, Nevada
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: has been decent at home, four and one at home,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: even though I know they killed us when we tried
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: to lay the points with them against Southern Illinois, so
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a good home performance out of them there.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna look weird that Nevada is a five
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. The public is gonna be
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: tempted to take U see San Diego, especially remembering they
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: made the tournament last year, Like, why would you lay
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: points with a Nevada team? It's only five and three
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: right against San Diego seven and zero, so it looks
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: too easy to take the points. I U see san Diego.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: I mean they're not untested, really, I mean they beat
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Temple decent win there, Bradley, that's a decent win. Thousands
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: not that bad either. They have played one road game
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: and they got the win against Fresno. Going into Reno,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be difficult. It is another road game here,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: but you see San Diego might step up for it
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: as well because Nevada has a pretty big name in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: college basketball. Nevada is coming up of a pretty big
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: game themselves, beating San Francisco. Sar Francisco's a pretty good team,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: and Nevada did have a tough loss the game before
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: that against Washington, So I don't love the spot for
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: either team really, which is why I'm not gonna give
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: out a play on this. But I guess just based
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: on what the line looks like and how easy it
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: looks like it is to take. You see San Diego,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: I would probably lay it with Nevada, but they're not
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: that great this year. Man. Nevada looks like they're down
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: this year, so I do worry about that. You see
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: San Diego, I think is down this year from where
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: they were last year too, though, ken Bum, I don't
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: think as either team in the top one hundred this year.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Right now, fifty five percent tickets, eighty five percent of
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: the cash on Nevada, They're up to a five point favorite.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: I would probably agree with laying the points in that one.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Utah and Cal is in a dressing scenario where I
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: think both teams are in interesting spots. Utah pulled up
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: a big upset of her own miss, so you gotta
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: think they're in a bit of a letdown spot. And
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: this is their first time in a true road game
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: this year, although they're already on the Pacific Coast because
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: that game, again it's Old Miss, was in California. Now.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they went back to Utah or
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: not though between these two games, but they played Old
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Miss and Grand Canyon and Cal Paula. Non No, at
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: least Grand Canyon and Old Miss. Those games are in California.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: So it's not Utah's first trip to the Pacific Coast,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: but it is their first tru road game and they're
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: in a letdown spot, so it doesn't look easy. But
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: then you look at Cal. They're in a letdown spot
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: too because they just beat UCLA. Man, that is a
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: monster win for Cal pulling off that win over a
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: ranked UCLA team. It's a bigger brother in California to them.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: So both teams are in bad spots. Here. I think
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Cal Cal was in the bigger letdown spot, but because
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Utah is having to go on the road here first, Cherodium. Man,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: they are the worst team. I kind of would lean
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: towards laying it with Cal, but I just can't do it.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: Man sixty taking seventy nine percent of the cash on
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Cal up to a nine a half point favorite. I mean,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: maybe if you think both teams are gonna be in
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: spots where you know they're in a bad spot, I mean,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: maybe the move is to go over like I usually say,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: but I haven't been tracking those games where I have
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: an opinion on the over. But that's kind of what
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: I think there, Jeffrey, thanks for hanging out man the Islanders.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I forget what my opinion is on that one, but yeah,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: the I apologize. Man, these shows are just ridiculously long
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: when we have a ton of college basketball. I don't
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: know what else to do about it, although I might
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: have to start doing some night college basketball shows. I
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: hate what this is doing to my voice, though, I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: just don't know what to do. Man. Saint Louis is
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: going on their first cheer road They're playing their first
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: cheer road game against Loyal and Merrymount and coming up
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: their first loss, and it was a big game against Stanford.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: So a lot of this looks like a bad spot
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: for Saint Louis here, big deal playing against an ACC team.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: The problem is Saint Louis is actually an eight to
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: eight and a half way favored in this game against Stanford,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: So Saint Louis is actually a solid team. Addsmakers telling
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: you that and telling you the Stanford's not really that good,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: so you could argue that, well, they should have won
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: that game as a favorite. But I kind of lean
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: the other way though, Like first tru Rogue game, coming
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: off of first loss of the season, I think this
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: is going to be a difficult game for Saint Louis.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: But they are at least already on the Pacific coast,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: playing Santa Clara and Stanford out here, so there is
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: that at least that they've played in the Pacific times
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: on already and they're probably staying out there. But they
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: didn't play well. I mean, they beat Santa Clara by one.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Santa Clara is a good team though, so I don't
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: want to say Saint Louis didn't play well, and maybe
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: that kind of set up a hangover spot for them.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: Against Stanford, they're facing Loyol and mary Mount. Though Loyal
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: and mary Mount they're coming off this horrendous loss at
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: home to stony Brook. I mean, I don't know what
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: was going on in that game, but Loyol and mary
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: Mount was coming back from playing in a tournament in
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Florida where they beat Ohio to finish that tournament, and
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: then they came home to face stony Brook and then
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: up next they did have the Saint Louis game, so
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: maybe it was a bit of a sandwich spot there,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: but almost an inexcusable loss against stony Brook. But you know,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: Loyol is gonna bounce back. They're gonna be in a
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: bounce back but whatever, that was a horrendous loss where
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the odds were on this, but
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Loyel and Marymount had to have been like a twenty
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: something point favorite in that game. Even though stony Brook
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: is six and two, they are not good. So Loyol
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: and Marrymount should be an extreme bounce back spot here.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: But osbeakers are telling you Saint Louis is the way
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: better team. They're down from an eight point favorite to
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: a seven point favorite. I would take the points with
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: Loyole and Marry Mount in this one, though, if I
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: was gonna play it sixty seven percent and take a
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of the cash on them total down
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: to one forty six and a half. That is what
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: I would do if I was gonna play that game.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Oh my god, I'm drinking so much water.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: I might have to take a second break center in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: second intermission. Reload again, man. I turned on the air,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: by the way, because the heat was drying me out too,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: the Miami heat. No, I'm not in Miami. Oh man,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: this big NHL board, man, I'm not doing anything with
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: it today. Okay, hold on a minute. I apologize. Man,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with me. My voice
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: just is not holding up anymore. It's the winner, man,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: I just don't know what the deal is. I think
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: the heat is just really drying me out, and the
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: heater in this room gets really extreme. To hang on,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: all right, let's get the sun. You can tell that
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: as soon as I start like drinking more water, my
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: voice comes back, just like very briefly. I don't know
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: how I'm gonna do you covers ever again? Man, Auto
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: one Montreal is the first game up in hockey. Big game.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Both of these teams, I mean, they don't like each other,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: they're close geographically. Montreal's have an ugly loss at Colorado,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: but that could set up a bounce back, but they
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: were turning home from a road trip that they went
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: on for almost a week. They had to go out
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: into elevation and the Pacific time zone playing Utah, Vegas
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: and Colorado, So coming back home, I'm not sure they
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: will bounce back here. And they did already beat Ottawa
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: back home, although that was actually gonna return home spot.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: I think I lost on that game. Montreal did beat
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: them in overtime, but maybe this time it won't be
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: as good for them. Man trying to repeat that same
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: thing again. Otto was also in a bounced back spot.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: I think this spot is a little bit better for them,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: although they are finishing along road trips, so they may
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: be a little bit fatigued. But they also took a
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: brutal loss, like a very ugly loss to Dallas in
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: the last game six to one, so you got to
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: think that maybe Auto is gonna bounce back as well.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: But the travel from Dallas all the way up to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Montreal with one day off. It's not exactly that easy either.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: So overall, I like Ottawa in this one, and the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: money seems to agree. I'm not gonna give it out
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: as a play, but AUTI a flip from plus one
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: on one to minus one thirteen. I mean, if I
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: was going to play any of these hockey games, this
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: would be one of the top opinions that I have.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: So do with that information what you want to fifty
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: two percent of tickets on Montreal, sixty seven percent of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: the couch on Ottawa. It's actually very rare that there's
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: this size hockey board and that I don't have anything.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: But that's just the way that it is. I just
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: don't love it. My Boston Bruins at Detroit. Like I said,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: I think the Bruins are maybe not even quite as
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: good as the record looks. Detroit I think is better
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: than the record looks. I mean, Jeffrey is salging about
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: them being dysfunctional, but I mean this reason stretch that
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: they're on three of the teams they lost to are
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: legit teams. Well, two of the teams excuse in New Jersey,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: in Tampa. Boston is not legit. But that was a
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: road loss in a shootout. I mean, I'm not gonna
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: knock them too much for that. I think it's a
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: zigzag spot man, and it's kind of classic, you know
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: how I do that When a team loses to one
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: team and then they play that team again right after that,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: the team that lost basically has these adjustments to make.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: I know it wasn't a blowout loss. I think the
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: zigzag works better when it was some kind of extreme
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: result in the game, which this of course wasn't. But
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: I still think this does maybe set up for Detroit
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: to bounce back here and get the Bruins. Yeah, I
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: mean that's basically all I have to say about that, Like,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Detroit would still be the team that has the adjustments
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: to make here. Detroit's minus one ninety favorite of the
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: money is seemingly coming in on Boston for now, but
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: I don't love it. I would probably lean towards Detroit here,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: Like if you did, it would probably have to be
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: like one of those like make your own puck line
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: situations or something like that, fifty five percent of the
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: tickets on Detroit, but fifty percent of the cash coming
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: back on Boston, or you know, I wouldn't even hate
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: Bruins under their team total in this one either, because
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: the Bruins, I mean, they're just not a prolific offense, man,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: So maybe something like that. If you expect Detroit to
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: bounce back, they'll be a focused defensive team. You'll get
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: a focused defensive effort out of them. Potentially. The total
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: in the game is not very high at five and
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: a half as far as hockey totals go. Tampa Bay
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: are at the Islanders the other game that Jeffrey mentioned.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: I think I agree with him on this one. With
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: the Islanders Tampa Bay. I mean, they're on a very
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: very hot run right now. Man. They won seven games
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: in a row. They just clobber the Rangers. Of course
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: they did, because that was at Madison Square Garden where
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: the Rangers can't win. But now they're staying in New
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: York with a couple of days off. I don't know
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: if those days off will hurt their momentum at all, though,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: but the travel spot is certainly not bad, as they're
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: just staying in New York for this one, going out
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: to Queen's to face the Islanders. Islanders are on a
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: bad run of three losses in a row though, and
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: they're just staying at home here, and I think they're
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: gonna want to bounce back from this. Man, this has
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: been a rough home stand so far, ugly three goal loss,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: and they're like game to Washington. So I agree it
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: does set up a bit better for the Islanders here.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: I won't disagree with it, but I'm not I don't
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: have a strong opinion on this one. Like, I don't
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: think the setup is really that bad for either team.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay probably if you're looking at this game, I
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: think it's more of a situation where Tampa is probably
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: just a little bit overvalued at this point just because
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: of recency bias, Like the Osbeckers have to skew the
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: line a little bit towards Tampa Bay because they've won
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: a bunch of games in a row and because the
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: Islanders have lost numerous games in a row. So that's
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: kind of the thing there. So the value should be
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: on the Islanders here eighty four percent to take at
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of the cash on Tampa as a
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: minus one thirty eight favorite, So I think that would
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: be more of a value player than anything else. I mean,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: I'm more of a situational guy, though I like to
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: find both. But yeah, I agree with the Islanders and
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: that one generally, but I don't feel too strongly about it.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Dallas is playing against the Rangers. Dallas starting a road
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: trip with some mental though. They are coming off a
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: blowout win over Autawa. But I talked about it. When
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: the team starts a road trip, they usually are focus.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: But when you just annihilated a team six to one,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: and you're facing a middling Ranger team right now, and
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: you have to face a New Jersey tomorrow, maybe the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: spot isn't that great for Dallas. Actually, you know, maybe
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: they overlooked the Rangers a little bit here. The problem is,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Rangers are the Rangers at home, you
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? This should theoretically be somewhat of
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: a positive spot because they did return home from a
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: road trip and have a bad game, although again it
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: was a short Although it was a short road trip
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: though that was only a Wednesday Friday road trip that
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: kept them on the East Coast, so it wasn't really
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: a true road trip return. But they came home, they
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: lost badly to Tampa. Anyway, maybe they will be in
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: a bounce back. A couple of days off, it's the
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: last game of a two game home stand. They should
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: theoretically show up when it's Dallas here, so I think
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: the situation actually does look a little bit better for
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the Rangers here. But we're talking about the Rangers at home.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna do that unless the situation is
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: unless it's a great situation to play the Rangers, I'm
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: not gonna do that. You got a two eight and
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: one Rangers team at home in Dallas, by the way,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: nine to one and three on the road. Dallas has
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: been excellent on the road, so the home road dichotomies
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: are really crazy in this one. So I'm not gonna
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: do it. And the money is coming in on Dallas. Uh,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: they are the better team as well as the oddsmakers
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: have them favored on the road, even though I don't
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: really think the Rangers are quite as bad as the
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: record would make them look. Fifty three percent of tickets
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: eighty seven percent of the cash on Dallas, I mean, situationally,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: I would slightly lean to the Rangers, and I don't
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: even know if that's strong enough to disagree with the
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: market read like that in a home road dichotomy like
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: that Toronto, is that Florida. Toronto has their man back
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: with Austin Matthews back. They've won two of their last three,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: so they played a little bit better recently. They just
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: slaughtered Pittsburgh though in their last game, so I don't know,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: maybe they're feeling a little bit high off of that.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: They do have face Carolina next, so is it possible
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: they overlook the back to back returning champs Florida the
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: first time they're playing them this year? Maybe? I mean
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: Carolina did beat them at home in early November, so
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: that Carolina game is gonna be big. So it's actually
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: possible that Toronto overlooks Florida in this spot. As crazy
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: as that sounds, I mean, Florida just hasn't played that
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: well this year. Florida two straight losses at home and
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: that last one was horrendous, and they have the whole
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: weekend off. They haven't played since Friday, so the spot
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: does set up a lot better for Florida here, and
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: they should have Bebrovski back in net here. He didn't
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: play in that game on Friday. They used Tarasov Tarasov
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: and they lost at home to the very bad Calgary Flames.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: Not a good loss at all for Florida. So I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: like Florida in this one, Like, I think this is
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: my favorite play in hockey. If I was gonna play
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: this one, I'm actually tempted to add this, But it's
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: in that price range that I hate, where it's like
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: do you want to go money line? Do you want
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: to go puck line? Like? What do you do here? Where?
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, does it make enough sense to even just
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: try to do a split bet, make your own minus
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: one puck line and then you get your money back
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: if they win by one? Is it worth it? Like
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: do we think they have a decent shot to win
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: by multiple goals? Maybe? I mean it is a high
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: total at six and a half, fifty three percent of tickets,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: only fifty five percent of tickets, only fifty three percent
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: of the cash on Toronto line up for minus one
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: fifty minus one fifty three on Florida, So the money
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: is on Florida. There, it looks like to some extent
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: they're an anti public home favorite, And you know I
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: do like that. Yeah, I don't love the spot for
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: Toronto really in that one, And the spot looks like
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: a big time bounce back spot for Florida. It's tempting, man,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: it is tempting to give it a plan in Florida
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: on that one. We'll stay off of it, but it
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: is it is close. Calgary and Nashville. Nashville down for
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: minus one seventeen and minus one sixteen. Here the money
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: is coming into the Calgary side. But I don't really
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: see it. I don't really agree with that as much
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: as I despise giving out plays on Nashville because they
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: never come through, but sixty two percent of tickets on
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: Nashville eighty three percent of the cash on Calgary. But
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: I just don't see why the money would becoming in
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: on Calgary and the Calgary they're coming off beating Florida
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: on the road. I mean they've also had kind of
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: a packed schedule here they're finishing a road trip and yeah,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: I know they're two and two on the road trip
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: right now, so ideally you try to win the road trip.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: But they beat Florida and then they turn around and
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: they took Carolina into overtime in like a defensive battle. Man.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't understand how Calgary gets gets
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: up after those two games. Man, I mean those are
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: huge performances from them, so I just don't see it.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Even though they did lose to Nashville at Nashville to
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: start the month of November, I mean, not December to
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: start last month, so I mean, is there revenge spot there?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. In Nashville, they were turn home
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: from a quick two game road trip and they took
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: an ugly loss to win a PEG five to two.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Staying at home here, so I think they're gonna be
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: a focus to try to get this win. So I
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: actually lean to Nashville in this game. I don't understand
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: what the money is doing in that one. I don't
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: really want to do it though, with the money disagreeing
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: with me like that and me just avoiding Nashville like
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: the plague, I just can't do it. Vancouver at Colorado,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: Colorado the way better team, obviously. I don't know what
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: else we have to say about this. Really. Vancouver did
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: take Colorado into overtime at home back on November ninth,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: so maybe Colorado will remember that and step it up
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: and play better. In Vancouver coming out of a tough
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: overtime game against the LA Kings, now having to go
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: into elevation, it's not gonna be that easy for them.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: For Colorado, they're coming off a blowout win at home
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: though against Montreal, so they might be feeling high on themselves.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was gonna be a hangover spot
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: if you're taking a loss to Minniot and losing their
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: long win streak. Nope, they bounced right back. Colorado probably
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: gets this one. They're up from minus three ten to
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: minus three to twenty on the money line. Vancouver not
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: a very good team this year. The oddsmakers are telling
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: you that Colorado probably the best team in the NHL.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: Seventy three percent of tickets eighty five percent of the
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: cash on Colorado. I mean, if you like Colorado, a
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: puck line situation or going over their team total might
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: make sense there, but you need them to score a
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: lot of goals there. Minnesota is at Edmonton. For Edmonton,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not off to a good start this season, man,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: but they did get a nice win over Seattle for
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: it to nothing on the road. They're coming back from that.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: It was a single game road trip. Maybe they'll be
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: in a spot where they do focus on Minnesota. I mean,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: when you're an eleven ten to five team, you don't
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: really overlook many teams here, and Minnesota has been hot recently.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Minnesota just had their win streak snap. They'd won six
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: games in a row. Seven games in a row, actually,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: I think, and we as the streakbusters on the show,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: we got it right. I think we had Buffalo as
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: a play in that one. I just thought it was
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: a really bad spot for Minnesota after being Colorado. I
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: thought it was a big time letdown spot. And with
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: Edmonton up next, so I thought it was bad. They
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: did get caught by Buffalo. So now starting a road
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: trip again, it is a focused spot and they're gonna
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: probably be focused because it is Edmonton still the team
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: that won the conference last two years, So I don't
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: see Minnesota not being focused in this one. But the
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: money is coming in. It looks like against Minnesota at
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: this point, even though the line on Edmondon drop for
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: Minuesota to sixty five to minus one forty six sixty
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: three percent of tickets, only fifty six percent of the
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: cash on Minnesota. So Minnesota looks like a public road
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: dog here. And it is interesting that the oddsmakers are
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: telling you that Edmonton is the better team by lining
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: them this way. So the line looks a little bit misleading,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't really want to disagree with that. I
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: would probably have to slightly lean to Edmonton. But I
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: don't love it either. Obviously Chicago is going to Vegas.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Chicago's coming off a comeback, I think. I think they
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: were down three to nothing to Anaheim and they won
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: five to three, so they might be kind of gassed
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: after that. I mean, usually a team starting a road
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: trip is a team that I want to look towards
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: because they'd be in a focused spot. But and because
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: this is Vegas, Vegas is good. But that was a huge,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: like comeback win for Chicago over Anaheim, So I don't
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: know what they have left in the tank here, So
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: I don't love the spot for Vegas. Vegas is staying
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: at home and they just broke a four game lost
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: week with a close win over San Jose. I don't know, man,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: that gives them some momentum here. They're probably gonna try
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: to at least split this home stand, even though they
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: do have a road trip starting on Friday against New Jersey.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: But I kind of lean towards Vegas, and this one
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: of the money is disagreeing with me. Vegas down for
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: minus two eighty and minus two seventy five, sixty three
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: percent of tickets, only fifty percent of the cash on them,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: and then finishing the slate Washington at LA Washington, they're
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: coming off a win over the Islanders and now they're
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: having to fly cross country with one day off. Maybe
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: not easy to do that first Pacific Coast game of
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: the road trip, and it's a late night game that
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: can mess with their biological clock. So I don't really
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: love that spot for Washington. LA is just staying at
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: home off of bouncing back with a win against Vancouver,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: so I think the spot is better for LA. I
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: would lean towards LA in this one eighty two tickets
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: ninety two percent of the cash on them, they're down
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: for minus one twenty one sixteen, so cheap price on
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: them too. Those are my hockey opinions. I mean, again,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: the stronger opinions that are Florida and at Florida. I mean,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: they're going way way up on the money line here too, man.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Florida and Ottawa are probably my favorite two
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: in hockey. But I just am I'm gonna just stay
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: away for the day. And then we got NBA or
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out two plays here in the NBA.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: Washington at Philadelphia, Yeah, this is a great one Washington.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: They're coming up beating the Milwaukee Bucks, though, man, I
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: mean that's a pretty big win. And that was yesterday,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: and now they have to turn around and play a
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: single game at Philadelphia and they do a Boston next.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, will they overlook this Philadelphia team? It's been
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: all over the place this year, up and down again.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: They very well might. So I don't think this is
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: a good spot for Washington at all. Letdown spot, maybe
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: a sandwich spot with no rest. But Philadelphia, even though
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't play yesterday, they're coming off of a two
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: overtime game against Atlanta, which was a loss for US.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy about that. So I don't love the
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: spot for Philadelphia either, coming off that two OT game.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: I would lean towards Philadelphia in the game if I
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: was gonna play it. And the money looks like it's
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: coming in on the Wizzards. Who would ever think it's
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: because you're having to lay thirteen and a half team
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: with the seventy six ers, So the public looks like
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: they're actually taking the Wizards seventy four percent of tickets,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: only sixty five percent of the cash on them. I
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: would lay it with the Sixers if I was gonna
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: play it. They're down for minus thirteen and after minus thirteen,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not very tempted to do it though.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Looking at the injury report him and he got embiids
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: still out, so he's not gonna be back for this one.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: Paul George is a game time decision. Uh. He was
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: in the shoot around this morning, so he'll probably play.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: So Philadelphia, I mean, most of their guys will be
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: in the lineup, it looks like, and they're very used
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: to playing without embiid. So Portland at Toronto, this is
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: playing number one. We're laying the points to Toronto minus five.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: We're gonna fade Portland off of what they just did
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: man Portland on Sunday. They just had a huge game
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: against Oklahoma City and they almost got the revenge. I mean,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Portland did beat them once earlier this year. They're the
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: only team to beat the Thunder this year, and they
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: put it in a nice before Romans and we took
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: the Thunder. We laid the points of the Thunder against
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: the Blazers at home against the Blazers, and the thunder
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: got it done for us. But this game on Sunday,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: the Blazers were in that game from start to finish. Man.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: I mean they did not go away at all. They
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: were playing that game close, basically, almost right to the wire.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: Huge performance from the Trail Blazers. And now they're coming
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: off of that difficult spot. Man. I know Toronto's good,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: but they do also have to face Cleveland and Detroit
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday and Friday. So I mean, if you're gonna
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: focus on or if you're gonna lapse focus in one
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: of these games, I think you might do it against Toronto. Man.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: To be honest, I mean they just even though they've
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: been hot recently, I think that just because they haven't
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: been one of those teams that's been up there recently.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think it's a bad spot
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: for Portland for all those reasons. Though usually I will
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: say a team will be focus to start the road trip,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: but coming off of performance like that, I just don't
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: really see it. Plus, I think Toronto, I think they're
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be in a bounced back spider. I mean, they
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: took their first loss of the Charlotte, they took a
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: I think they got put into a hangover spot after that,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: and they got blown out by the knicks Man in
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: New York. So yes, they are traveling the returning home.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: I know. I don't like teams returning home from road trips.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: But they only were on the road for the weekend
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, so that New York game was also
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: a back to back. So yeah, they're having to travel
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: back up to Canada, but they were not on the
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: road for very long. Man, Like whatever they had to
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: do for Thanksgiving, whatever, I'm sure they got it done
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: before they went out on the road for the road trips.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm not as concerned because usually I talk about
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: you come back home from the road like you're unfocused,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: you have to get back to home life and whatever.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: But when you just lost and it's an explainable loss,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: but you just lost by twenty two points to anybody,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be really really angry about it
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna bounce back from it. So that's what
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see here. I think the spot
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: is a lot better for Toronto, so we're gonna lay
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: it with the Raptors and the money seems to kind
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: of disagree with it right now, but it's one of
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: my plays. Eighty six percent of the tickets, only sixty
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: five percent of the cash on the Raptors for now.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: But we're going with it, man. I'm trusting the handicapping,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: the process. And Drew Holliday is still out for Portland
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: by the way, so just to let you know, although
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: we're looking at a situation where Barrett is still out
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: for Toronto too so, but both of these guys have
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: missed like a decent amount of time already, so it's
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: not affecting the team, you know, day to day right now,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? New York at my boss
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: is Celtics is a big game, man, and the Knicks.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: They're coming off that blowout win over Toronto, man, and
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: this is a weird single game trip to Boston, so
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: it's not a good spot for the Knicks. Plus, I
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: think the Celtics are gonna have this game circle because
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: the Knicks still haven't lost to the Celtics. It's beating
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: the Celtics and knocking them out of the playoffs last year,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: so the playoff revenge scenario is still in play for
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: Boston here because they faced the Knicks once and the
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: second of the season, and the Knicks beat them by
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: ten in New York. So the Celtics still looking to
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: an exact some playoff revenge here, man, So the spot
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: is not very good for the Knicks. I expect the
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: Celtics to be focused. The problem is the Celtics are
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: returning on from a road trip where I know it
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: was a short road trip. They're only on the road
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, but they played in Minnesota and Cleveland
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: and could have won both games. I mean, they blew
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: the game late against Minnesota and then they did beat Cleveland,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: so they had a huge win over Cleveland, big upset,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: and now they're returning on from that. It's just a
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: bad spot for both teams. Dude, So I mean, I
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: can't do it. Celtics are also public sixty seven percent
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: of tickets, only fifty eight percent of the cash on them.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, my initial lean was maybe a slight lean
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: towards the Celtics, and maybe that revenge angle would put
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: it over the top. The market seems to be disagreeing
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: with the Celtics side here. Of notes, Anonobe is still
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: out for the Knicks, Celtics, their guys are basically back.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: White has been like questionable, but it looks like he's
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: gonna play. And Cada missed like a game or two there,
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: but he's playing as well. So whatever. Yeah, it's not
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: a game that I want to play at all. I mean,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: that might be a game where an over makes sense
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: as well, and the money has already driven it up
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: to two thirty one on the total, but it is
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: a public over ninety three percent tickets only ninety two
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash, but over might make sense there.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is at New Orleans. Oh god, Minnesota. By the way,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: they're coming up now their first two wins against winning
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: teams on the season, although it was against a Wemby
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: list Spurs team, but Minnesota coming up beating Boston and
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: San Antonio big wins, and they played Oklahoma City close
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: to the game prior to that. Now they're going on
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: out on the road to face the Pelicans. I don't
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: know if you really get excited about that. And this
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: road trip is literally just two games against the Pelicans. Yeah,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you get excited about that. Man,
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: if you're Minnesota, you know New World is gonna be
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: a giant underdog here. New Orleans is returning over from
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: a road trip though where they went out to California
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: only on Saturday and Sunday and played back to back.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: Now they're returning home from that. Not really the greatest
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: spot for New Orleans. I would say if I was
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: gonna play it, I would still probably take the points,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: but the money looks like it disagrees with the Tea
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Wolves up from nine to ten in their spot. I
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: don't think I would want to lay ten points on
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: the road though, sixty percent of tickets, sixty four percent
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: of the cash on New Orleans. I don't know if
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: there's any injury, any injury concerns here. I mean, Minnesota
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: has nobody even listed on the injury report for New Orleans.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: I think Zion is back and playing. Trey Murphy the
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: third as questionable. Uh he played in their last game,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: I think though, so oh no, he did not actually
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: excuse he hasn't played since the twenty six, so I
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be back or not. Man,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: So something to keep an eye on. I guess with
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, Memphis at San Antonio is my final playing.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna take the points with Memphis. Man, Memphis starting
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: to get into a bit of a groove without John Morant,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: and he's not coming back in this game, which is
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: good I think for us because you know me, I
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: don't think Miranda is good for team chemistry. He's a
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Morant is bad for morale. No John Morale. So I
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: like the Memphis is now kind of in a groove,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: winning five of their last six games now playing without him,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: Zach eed, he's playing really well. They're doing well right now. Man.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be in like a letdown
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: spot or anything like that and feeling too cocky because
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: their recent wins are against Sacramento twice, Dallas, New Orleans,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: and the Clippers, so they're not gonna be like overconfident
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: by that. But what's good about that is all but
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: one of those wins are also on the road, so
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: they've been playing well on the road, man, And now
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: this is another road game here to finish the road trip.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: I know they're coming back from the Pacific coast into
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: Central Time here, but they've had a day off, you know.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: I think their momentums does continue into this game, and
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: the last time they played here at San Antonio. They
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: lost by ten, so it's possible that maybe San Antonio
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't totally take them seriously here, and Memphis might be
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: looking for a little bit of revenge here and we're
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: getting points. Obviously. The line in that game, by the way,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: for what it's worth, was, let me see what was
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: the line? Oh, we can't see it. ESPN doesn't show
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: us what the line was. Isn't that just great? So
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the line was, so we could
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: I'd have to look it up. So we can't do
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: the line comparison on this right now. But I'm doing
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: the situational analysis here. I don't like the spot for
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: San Antonio. I mean, you see right here, they're returning
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: home from a road trip, and this was a long
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: road trip. They've been on the road since Sunday, November
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: twenty third, so this is a road trip that took
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: them out to the Pacific coast and then into elevation
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: at Denver. They actually pulled out the upset over Denver
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: and then fell into a letdown spot kind of against Minnesota.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: Still a tough game, losing to Minnesota. Now they got
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: to return home and play this Memphis team that they
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: just beat not that long ago. I just don't know
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: how focused they're gonna be here, man, And that trip
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: was during Thanksgiving, so it could be a situation where
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: they come back home and not only do they have
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: stuff to do at home, but they want to like
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: celebrate the holiday a little bit because maybe they couldn't
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: do it like before they went on the road trip
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: because they went on the road trip a week before that.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, So a very unfortunately time
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: road trip here, I think for San Antonio, and up
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: next they have to go back out on the road
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: again tomorrow and they play Orlando and Cleveland, and those
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: teams have both been hotter than this Memphis team. Memphis,
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: by the way, still sitting at below five hundred roough,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: they've been decent on the road recently. Like I pointed out,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: they've started to figure it out. So I do like
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: that from Memphis. But yeah, for San Antonio, the single
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: game homestand sandwich between two road trips, they're really bad spots, man,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: because it's like you're on a time crunch and you
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: have to get stuff done at home. You have to
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: get it done immediately and then go right back out
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: on the road. So I think it's a very bad
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: spot for San Anto. So we're gonna take the Grizzlies.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: And the money is disagreeing with me. I don't get it.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: Sixty percent of the tickets on the Grizzlies. Why, I
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: don't know. Why is the public on the Grizzlies. I
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: don't get it. Eighty two percent of the cash on
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: the Spurs doesn't make sense to me, even recency buyas.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like the Spurs have been bad recently,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: so I don't get it at all. I like Memphis
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: in this one. We're taking the points with the Memphis
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies in that one. Yeah, I mean, I don't have
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: much else to say about that. By the way, the
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: Portland Toronto game, I wasn't gonna point out Toronto is
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: good at home, just to throw that out there, seven
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: and two at home. Blazers haven't been horrible on the
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: road though five and six, but Toronto has been very
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: difficult to beat at home. Zach Edie is a Nephelim. Yeah,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: he's what is he seven to five something like that,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: and he looks half Asian or something. I don't know.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: He's Yeah, I mean, he's turned into a pretty solid
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: NBA player though, man, Like he's not just a guy
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: that gets out there just because he's tall. Like he
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: can actually play. Despite what he looked like in that
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: loss in that tournament to Fairley Dickinson when he was
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: up pur due and that rebound went off of his face,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: He's starting to become a pretty good NBA player. Man.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, the game that you guys talked about is
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: the last game on the board here at eleven PM
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: Eastern Okase coming off beating Portland, so they're already out
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: on the Pacific Coast. They had not a very good
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: performance against Portland. Man, So I actually I don't know
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: what I think about this game. They did beat Golden
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: State on Tuesday, November eleventh by twenty four points in OKAC,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Golden State, I want to get back at
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: them for that. But I'm not gonna say that Oklahoma
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: City is not showing up in this game. I mean,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City looked like they were kind of going through
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: the motions against Portland, and I think Golden State is
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: a team that they're gonna have more focus on here.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that for Golden State. I mean,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: they've had guys in and out of the lineup, which
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: is difficult. So we got to see, like what's been
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: going on. Was Steph Curry here? Curry hasn't played since
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: the Houston game on the twenty sixth in November reevaluated
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: in one week, but now that was five days ago,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: So does that mean he's out? So is Curry out
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: for this game? I don't know. He's not listing on
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: the injury reports, so what does that even mean? Like that?
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: It almost makes it seem like he's playing, but there's
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: no news on that, so I have no idea if
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: Curry is playing. So if Curry is coming back in
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: this game and this turns into a reverse injured player spot,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: you know, that makes me like Golden State less because
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: there'll be less line value there because the odds usually
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: over adjust to that star player coming back. So that's
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: something we need to figure out. Is Curry coming back?
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: Let me look at like Rodal World or something real quick.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Let me see Steph Curry. What are we doing here, buddy?
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: They don't have look like they don't have any news here. Yeah,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: the last thing is still that announcement quadriceps contusion No idea. Dude,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: to me, that seems like he's not playing, but I
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: just don't know why he's not in the injury report.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: On the injury report, we also have to make sure
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: that we know what's going on with Jimmy Butler, and
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: I guess Draymond Green Al Horford is gonna be out,
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: So Al Horford is missing this game. Green is playing,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: So there is that he played against the Pelicans. Was
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: that their last game or was it not? I don't
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: even know, Like what is the spot that the Warriors
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: are even in here? Yeah, that was their last game
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: against the Pelicans. So the Warriors came back from that
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: Houston game, and they were in kind of a bad
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: spot after that Houston game, staying at home actually, and
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: that they had kind of a lackluster outing against the Pelicans.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it does look like it's kind of a
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: positive spot for the Warriors here, but again, they got
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: guys in and out of the line. And then for
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, he's questionable due to a gluteal contusion. So
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler fell on his ass. Man, Jimmy's ready, dude,
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: got some new moves. Check Jimmy out. Jimmy Jimmy's down.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: He fell on his ass, man, So I don't know
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: the gluteal contusion, the ass the broken not a broken ass,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: but the the the sore ass might is he a
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: sore ass loser? I don't know. The sore ass might
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: might affect him in this game. You're out, we'll see
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: he's questionable. So I don't know if he's gonna play.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: So we have to figure out if hopefully you guys
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: like that drop By the way, that's another one of
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: my new ones that I did just for this, by
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: the way, because it's so appropriate. Yeah, I mean, we
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: gotta figure out a butler's playing. Man, So I don't
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: think he's missed any games yet. So if he's out,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: then actually maybe that's better for Golden Stages because it
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: means you get more live value on the I mean,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: it's not good if your star players out one of
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: your star players, but you'll get more line value that way.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: This is a very very difficult game to figure out.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: I mean I I can't figure it out myself. The
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: thunder up from eight and a half to twelve. Some
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: of that might have to do with the warriors injury situation.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: My guess is that Curry is still out because we
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: haven't hit that week mark yet, so I don't think
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: he's been reevaluated yet. So Curry likely is out. Seventy
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: nine percent tickets on the Warriors, fifty five percent of
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: the catch on the Thunder. To me, this is looking
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: like the Warriors are a bit public the money coming
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: in in the Thunder. I don't think it's a bad
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: spot for the Thunder. And I mean, we know they're
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: a dominant team. And when you have a team that's
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: that dominant, that's in a spot that looks like maybe
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: they'll show up for it, I don't want to fade them, man,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: even though lose like you're getting a ton of points
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: with the Warriors at home, I don't know. I mean, yeah,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: I mean it is a lot of points to be
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: taking it home, but I don't love it NBA. NBA
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: is one sport where sometimes you can't be afraid to
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: lay points on the road, man, And maybe this is
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: a spot where it makes some sense to look that way,
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't have a strong opinion on it. I
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: slightly lean towards laying it with Oklahoma City, but not
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: strong on that at all. Yeah, I don't know, I don't.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have much else to say about that, but
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: that's that's gonna do it. Man. There's no football today.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: Midweek college football is over. Man. We're into championship week now.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: There will be one football game on Friday, I think,
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: and then numerous on Saturday. That's gonna do it. Thanks
