  Speaker 1: Accidents don't wait for great timing. One bad moment, a wreck,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a fall, a doctor who wasn't paying attention. Suddenly you're
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: fighting an insurance company that does this every single day.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And that's why Clay started Clay Travis Law. He's a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Law grad, built a firm around the idea that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: people deserve someone willing to pay attention, ask the hard questions,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: push back when things don't add up. Experienced trial attorneys
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: who bring the fight to corporations and insurers based in Nashville,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: trusted across the country.

• 0:28
  Speaker 2: product liability. If you were wrong, they want to hear
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: about it. Here's what they promise.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Honesty.

  Speaker 2: They don't sugarcoat your case. You'll hear what it's actually worth,

  Speaker 2: No case is too big or too small. Chad, scale
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of 1 to 10, how easy or.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Difficult would you say it was to come up with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your list this week?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: 9 out of 10, Hutton. Very, very easy.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: There are some weeks where I have 14 to 17
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: games I list, and then I try to decipher between
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: those to get down to 10. This week I've listed
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: 11 games as possibilities. So apologies to Florida State at Louisville,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: who did not make the cut. That was my 11th
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: game out, the only one of my games that I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: listed that did not make it. College football, top 10
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: games of the week.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Hutton, are you ready? I am ready.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Can't wait. Chad Withrow's top 10 games of the week
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: starts right now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Games 10 through 6, let's start there. South Carolina at
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: number 16, Florida, is game number 10.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: We're going to go 10 to 1 on this. South
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Carolina at number 16, Florida.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: This game will be at 11.45 a.m. Central Time on
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: SEC Network. South Carolina, three straight losses. Bad news for
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Gamecocks. Their next three games are against top 25 teams.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So the run game has been excellent so far for
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: South Carolina.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Dylan Stewart will return.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And, guys, let's put 10 through 6 up on the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: screen if we can, please. Don't want to reveal too
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: quickly about the top five, but I think everybody can
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: guess what number one is going to be. So for
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, Hutton, three in a row, they don't want
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to go to six straight losses, obviously, for the sake
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of Shane Beamer and keeping his job. Florida, they're the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: media darling. A week ago, they go to Missouri. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: get housed. How do they respond at home in this game?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to find out in one of the early
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: games tomorrow.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: This is a funeral procession, Chad. South Carolina, Florida.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: This is not the beginning of the end for Shane Beamer.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You're saying this is more of the middle of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: procession of the end for him.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're on the death march here.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be interesting because South Carolina, they
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: do have one of the best running games in the nation.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Running games typically travel. On the road. Is Florida, did
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: they get too much praise too early? I'm with you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I think Florida handles business. And they're catching Florida off
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the loss. I think we're going to continue talking about.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Shane Beamer's job.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Catching Florida off the loss doesn't help.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: No, you're right.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: How about catching Ole Miss off the loss? And Vanderbilt
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: off the loss. That's game number nine. Ole Miss, a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: nine-and-a-half point favorite on the road in Nashville at Vanderbilt.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: 2.30 Central time on ESPN.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Weather is going to be an issue in this game, Hutton,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and it's one that all the rain that was supposed
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to be in Tuscaloosa for their game against Georgia looks
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: like it's going to be in Nashville possibly tomorrow afternoon.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Could be out of here earlier than that also, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we could be fine for that game. Ole Miss coming
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: off a bye. Trinidad Chambliss, how is he going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: perform on the road in this game?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Jared Curtis, who was.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Out against Georgia, should be back for the Commodores. Game
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: number eight, Iowa at Washington. Iowa ranked 20th nationally, coming
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: off that big-time showcase game at home against Ohio State.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: They go on the road to Seattle to take on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a Washington team that has been a disappointment. Washington still
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a three-point favorite in this game. It's tonight on Fox,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: 8 p.m. Central Time, 9 p.m. Eastern for this game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: A Jonathan Hutton special for this one. How does Iowa
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: bounce back? How does Washington bounce back after the road
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: loss to USC? DeMond Williams for Washington. Outside Heisman chances
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: coming into the season. People saw Washington's Big Ten schedule
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and thought they have a real opportunity to be a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: college football playoff sleeper.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Not been the case for the Huskies.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: A chance to get right against a really good opponent
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: tonight for Washington in this one.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Hard rock bet right now.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: 3.5.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You've got Iowa getting 3.5 on the road there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know where I'm going with this one.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I got a hard time because of that trip to Seattle,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be like for Iowa. But we
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: may get some picks on this one a little bit later.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Game number seven, Hutton, let's stay in the Big Ten.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Number 19, USC, on the road at Penn State. The
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Nittany Lions, a one-and-a-half point favorite, 7.30 Eastern time, 6.30
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Central kickoff. on NBC. Why is Penn State favored, Hutton?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It is the wideout game. Wideout has very different meanings
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: at Penn State, as we found out with an offseason story,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: but their wideout game this year against USC. Penn State's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: dropped two games in a row. They lose at home
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to Wisconsin, and then they go to Northwestern and get
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: blown out.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Since Lincoln Riley took over at USC.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: The Trojans are 0-5 as road underdogs. They're only 5-5
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: as single-digit favorites on the road. That's no bueno for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the lack of road warrior ability for USC. That's why
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Penn State is favored, Hutton. I still got a hard time,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: even though it's the whiteout, everything else going on. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: have a hard time picking Penn State in this game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: They have not looked good in year one under Matt Campbell.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I also have a hard time picking Lincoln Riley, too,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on the road. because he had that win against Washington.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: They've played better. USC, though, Chad, to me, for Lincoln
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Riley to win me over, he's got to prove it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on the road. His team has to prove it on
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the road. This is one of those games, and just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the environments and the travel, everything involved. I stayed away
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: from this game because I don't know which way I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: feel better, Pitt State this year or USC on the road.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those two Big Ten games, back-to-back, I have a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: hard time picking one way or the other. Iowa at
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Washington and USC at Penn State.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Game number six.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and give you my pick
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on this one, I think. Texas A & M is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: about to go on the road and beat Missouri. 14th
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: ranked Missouri after destroying Florida at home is a three-and-a-half
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: point favorite. 12 noon, 11 a.m. Central time on ABC.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Call it the SEC media darling curse. Ole Miss beats LSU.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: The next week they go to the Swamp. Get blown out.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Florida blows out Ole Miss. Now it's Buster Faulkner this,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Buster Faulkner that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm following you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: John Sumrall's a dude. That rushing attack can't be stopped.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They go up to Missouri. They get smacked in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: face with a 2x4.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Actually, they got stoned by those stones in the end zone.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I was about to say the same thing. They're in Missouri.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: They got stoned in that game by Missouri. Now Eli
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Drinkwitz is like, I'm not going to sit and listen
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to you guys and your AP votes and your tweets.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And everything else. and whatever you want to say about
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: your program.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Eli, you're definitely not going to hear what people say
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: about your program after you lose at home to Texas
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: A & M in this game. Give me the Aggies
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to go on the road and get the upset. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: think the SEC media darling curse is a real thing
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: for teams coming off a high and then facing a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: tricky opponent the next week. I think A & M
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: gets it right. I think Marcel Reed and A &
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: M gain some confidence in that easy win over Arkansas.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I think that defense is going to play well. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: think they go on the road and beat Missouri this
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: week as a 3.5-point underdog.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Chad, Texas A & M, not as good as I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: thought they would be. They're also not this bad.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And neither is Marcel Reed. And I don't think Missouri
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: is as good as we think they are here. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: understand the curse and all that, but the team coming
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: off a big win, I don't mind this upset pick
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: on the money line at all. I would take the points.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I also don't think that Mike Elko is the type
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: of coach who's going to have a team quit. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: don't think there's going to be give up or quit
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: with A & M. I think they rally in this game.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They're too talented to lose as many games as what
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we assume they will based on their two-game skid.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Now let's go to our top five. Top five games
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of the college football weekend. Number five, Red River shootout,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Red River rivalry, whatever you want to call it. This
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: is going to be a rugby scrum of a football game.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Two great defenses and two very average to, in Oklahoma's case,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I think below average offenses so far this year. Number one, Texas,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a seven and a half point favorite against Oklahoma, neutral
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: site game, 2.30 central time on ABC. Oklahoma's offense, Hutton,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: How bad have they been? They're 112th nationally in yards
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: per play and on points per drive. Texas ranks 120th
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in yards per play. Both of these offenses have been bad.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning's QBR against the Blitz is one of the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: worst in America.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: has the best sack rate in America. What gives in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this game? You look at this matchup on paper, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: this looks like a 10-7 football game. Oklahoma's defense is
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: going to get to Arch Manning the way Tennessee did.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They're going to affect him. He's not good against the Blitz.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: He's not good when he's pressured. They lead the nation
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: in sack rate. Texas' offense has been pedestrian. John Mateer
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: has been bad. I still like Texas to cover in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: this game somehow, some way, but Hutton, you look at
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it on paper, and this looks like a 10-7 football game.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: What gives is I've seen Texas at least beat a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: quality opponent with a comeback and do it behind their
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: quarterback play. I've seen other aspects of that team. What
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: gives is the Texas defense, not the Oklahoma defense. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: would take the Texas defense here. And this is my
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: lock of the week. I got this at 7.5. locked
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it in at minus 7.5 against Oklahoma.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say 120 for Texas in yards per play.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: It's yards per carry in the rushing game. Their run
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: game has been bad. They're not worse than Oklahoma offensively, though.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So let me make that correction. Not yards per play.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: That was the Oklahoma stat. Yards per carry for Texas,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: they're really bad. Game number four, number 10 LSU, eight
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorite in Lexington against the Kentucky Wildcats.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: The suddenly resurgent Kentucky Wildcats under Will Stein. They have
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a swagger. They have an offense. They have an opportunistic
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: physical defense. They've got a physical run game now with
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Kentucky also. This game is 7 p.m. Eastern time kickoff
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: on ESPN. We keep looking for the big rain weather
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: game because of the hurricane coming through and the remnants.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: This could be it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: At night in Lexington could be a time where there's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of rain and a lot
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of wind.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: With Kentucky hosting LSU.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Does Kentucky's physical run game come into play in this?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: An opportunistic defense that's been able to turn teams over
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Kentucky's offense, though, is worst in America in third-down conversions.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Might surprise you with Will Stein's offense.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Not good at all. And for LSU, Hutton, you look
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: at them.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Coming off really the only bad play you've seen so
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: far this year was against Ole Miss. They've been really
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: good in every other game. They're almost a double-digit favorite
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: on the road. I might take Kentucky to cover. in
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this one I think they could muddy it up especially
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: if the weather's bad and this could be a very
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: good it's going to be a very good environment our
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Jacob Lutz is going to be there I think Kentucky
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: covers but loses a close game he'll be there in
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the rain he will and you said this is eight
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and a half Chad it is eight and a half
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: this is one of those where I'm like what does
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Vegas know because I thought this would be a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: closer uh with the road team getting favored by eight
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and a half um I want to take the points
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: as well. I stayed away from this one specifically because
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it was too steep. It hasn't moved either all week,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: which is also surprising.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Game number three. Let's go back to the Big Ten.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: A game not many people would think of Big Ten
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: football when you see UCLA at Oregon.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: But that's what you got. Two ranked opponents.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Number 21 Bruins on the road to face the Ducks
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: ranked 13th. Oregon an 11.5-point favorite, 3.30 Eastern time, 2.30 Central.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: The old SEC-CBS game of the week time slot for
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: these two traditional Pac-12 rivals going head-to-head in the Big Ten.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Nothing says Big Ten like Oregon and UCLA. UCLA is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a great run game. They play good defense with a
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: lot of defensive playmakers. They have a mediocre passing game.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Does that sound familiar to Vols fans with Nico? Sounds
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: like 2024 all over again with Dylan Sampson. Really good
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: run game, great defense that turns people over, pedestrian passing attack.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: That was Nico at Tennessee in 2024. Bob Chesney at
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: UCLA is recreating that right now at UCLA, and they're
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: having a ton of success doing it. Also, they've got
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: two really good running backs, Wayne Knight and Anthony Woods.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: They're averaging 8.4 yards per carry out of the backfield
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: for UCLA. Now, they finally get tested. They had the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: 54-3 win at Maryland. They had a nice win over Cal.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: They haven't truly been tested yet this year. They're going
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to get tested at Oregon, but Dylan Rayola is going
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to be the one doing the testing. So Dante Moore out,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback, former Nebraska starter who looked good in relief
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: against USC for Oregon. He's going to get the start
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: for the Ducks in this one. Again, Oregon an 11.5
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: point favorite.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gone up to 12.5 right now at Hard
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Rock Bet. I'm looking at it right now. Can UCLA
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: get a spark on special teams? Can they get a return?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Can they get a block punt? Something. And if they do,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: they can win this game outright. But I would just
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: take the points. I think this is a tight game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I think UCLA plays well.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Game number two. Good week for the Big Ten. Let's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: stay in the Big Ten. Number seven, Indiana. A 7.5
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: point road favorite in Lincoln to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: 12 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Central on Fox. Big noon
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: kickoff game. The Huskers have not beaten a top ten
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: opponent since a 39-38 win over Michigan State in 2015.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Josh Hoover for Indiana. 71% completion rate this year. Again,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Indiana not truly tested yet this season. They played that
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: miserable non-conference schedule that now the Big Ten... is trying
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to change and make their teams do what the SEC
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: is doing and play somebody in the non-conference. Nebraska, they
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: haven't played anybody yet either. I don't think they've played
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a top 50 opponent based on FPI yet, but they
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: have exceeded expectations in every game. Anthony Calandria, the transfer
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: from UNLV, the quarterback, he's been terrific running and throwing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: First big test for the Cornhuskers. You could argue first
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: true test for Indiana also in this one, Hud.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Seven and a half is the spread. This feels like
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: one of those Matt Rule measuring stick games to me.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It's been, what, four years now? They've become part of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the talk of the conversation if they win, and all
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of a sudden we start talking Indiana on a national
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: scale based on a great performance here because we haven't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: talked about them. We've talked about Indiana as much as
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: we've talked about Georgia, and neither have been having conversations.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Both are on the big stage this week.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Well, and look, Indiana's not ranked first. I think they
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: should be ranked higher based on their play last year
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and who they have on the team this year, but
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they're ranked seventh. I think Nebraska needs to do at
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: least what Tennessee did against Texas and have a shot
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, right? Like to prove that, hey,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: this team is better. then pass Nebraska teams, pass Matt
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Rule teams. I'm not asking for them to win outright
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: in this game, but give yourself a chance in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter where you leave the game feeling like, hey,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: we just went toe-to-toe with one of the better teams
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. We're going to win a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: of football games this year doing that, and you leave
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the game at 5-1. I'd feel great about Nebraska this
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: season if they're in this game in the fourth quarter.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Show up and get blown out at home.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: By Kurt Cignetti in Indiana, which, by the way, is
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: very possible with Cignetti and this Indiana team. Do that,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: and then people are going to go right back to saying,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: same old Huskers.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: We've seen for the last 10 to 15 years.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to see the atmosphere, too. It's going to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be fun.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: It's going to be really cool. Speaking of atmosphere.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Number one game of the college football weekend. Number two,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Georgia Bulldogs on the road, taking on the Crimson Tide
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of Alabama, number six. Alabama, a slight favorite of this one,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: one and a half points, 730 Eastern, 630 Central.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: On ABC.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I watched the Saban documentary. He admitted he has no
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: idea what roll tide means. He has no idea what
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: it comes from. He thinks it's something about waves crashing
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: in and rolling, but he doesn't really know.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Alabama fans know what it means.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: They're going to be saying roll tide a lot leading
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: up to this one, even though it's going to be
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: rainy and storms coming through in the morning. Great atmosphere
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: for this one. Hutton, Kirby Smart is 2-7 against Alabama.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He is 112-9 against everybody else.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Not named Alabama. How about that?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: 2-7 versus 112-9. Georgia has been a methodical machine so
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: far this year. They're averaging winning in SEC games 41-15
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: so far. Speaking of machines, Keelan Russell, he's on pace
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: for 4,000 yards passing and 800 yards rushing this season.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: That's like the 40-40 or 50-50 baseball version of hitting
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: 40 home runs and stealing 40 bases. 4,000 passing yards,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: 800 yards rushing. He's right around the pace to do
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that this year. I don't think he's going to get
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to 4,000 yards passing, but he is a terrific player.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Great offense for Alabama. I think the best in the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: SEC right now, Hutton. What a game we have on
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Saturday night.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: These games come down to the moments. Keelan Russell's right
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: there with the Heisman if he hits the moment. Stockton, though,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: is the quarterback I'm taking to win the moment and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: make the moment. I took Georgia in my pick earlier
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: this week. uh, for the bundle and I'm sticking with
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it right there. Plus one and a half.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Hunting top 10 games of the college football weekend. Let's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: review 10 through one quickly. Game number 10, South Carolina
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: at number 18, Florida, 1145 central time on sec network.

• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the Washington Huskies, number seven. Number 19, USC on the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: road in the whiteout game against Penn State. Back to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the SEC, Texas A & M at number 14, Missouri.

  Speaker 2: Texas Longhorns taking on Oklahoma, number four. Number 10, LSU
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on the road to face Kentucky. Game number three, back

  Speaker 2: Number two game of the week is number seven, Indiana
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in the big noon kickoff game on Fox. in Lincoln
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to take on Nebraska. And number one game of the week,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it's a no-doubter, number two Georgia at number six Alabama
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: in Tuscaloosa.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Hutton, I cannot wait.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: We have delayed our trip to the beach because of
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the storm coming to the Gulf. I will not leave
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: until early, early Sunday morning. So I, Chad Withrow, will
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: finally have a day, first time since week one, to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: plant myself On the couch, which is close to me
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: right now, and watch college football start to finish on
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a Saturday.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I am pumped. Cannot wait.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Chad will have two Father's Day this year, not just one.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I will be smoking no meat. I will be doing
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: no work. I will be watching football. Food will be
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: delivered to me. And this is going to be a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: glorious Saturday. No softball tournaments. Well, Evie does have a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: practice in the morning, but we'll figure that out. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I will be there for a morning with the pregame
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: shows through all the games.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I cannot wait for this Saturday.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: We'll learn there. There's Chad Withers. Well done, Chad. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: top 10 games of the college football weekend. Coming up
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: over the next 35 minutes, Major League Baseball and a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: possible schedule change. They're discussing something there. The SEC. We're
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: going to give our SEC picks. Profit Like It's Hot
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and more all straight ahead here on Hunting With Row.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Good morning to you. Hunting With Row presented by Hard
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Rock Bed. If you need a kick in the butt
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: this morning to get going, Chad's got it right in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: front of him. Crockett Coffee. Crockett Coffee started by Clay Travis,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, and Buck's brother Mason. Named after David Crockett. Hunter, storyteller, patriot,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: backwoods legend. The logo, Davey is surfing on the backs

• 20:23
  Speaker 1: make it in the morning, Chad. You take King Mountain.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: King Mountain, every time, the dark roast, big fan of that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Big fan of how you can set up a subscription
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and it shows up on your schedule. Changed or canceled

  Speaker 2: members and for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Good coffee, made in America, doing some good. CrockettCoffee.com.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: That's Crockett, C-R-O-C-K-E-T-T-Coffee.com. I've got my cup here. I'm excited
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the show, for the rest of
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the day. Thanks for Crockett Coffee.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Got my water. I need to get some Crockett Coffee.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I've got to get the K-Cups going. Do you have
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the K-Cups or do you have just the grounds?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I have K-cups and I have grounds being delivered because
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: at my current consumption rate, I'm going to need pots,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: not cups of coffee. So yes, pots of coffee are
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: being delivered and I set it up with a subscription.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: So it's perfect.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Chad, Major League Baseball proposing a major structural change starting
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to the 2029 season. No coincidence that they're putting this
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: out there right before a labor discussion, right?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: They're shrinking the regular season to 154 games, and they
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: have an expanding of the division series to a best-of-seven format.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: So you have the shorter season, weekly off days, no
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: salary reductions, expanded division series, postseason off days, split doubleheaders.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Each team's going to play four split doubleheaders against division opponents.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: They're making it to where it appears, as a shorter season...
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Less games, same money, trying their best. I like the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: schedule reduction, and I like the seven-game series. I don't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: love the schedule reduction. I kind of like the 162,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: but I don't hate it either.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And I think the tradeoff of getting the different playoff
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: structure is worth it. So I don't have any big
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: objections to this. This is one of the rare things
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: where they're changing fundamentally something about the sport and the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: schedule system that I don't have a strong opinion towards,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: other than to say I think it's fine.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: And this is, yes, this is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Part of the negotiation with the Players Association to avoid
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a lockout next year. This would go into effect, as
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, in 2029. 154-game regular season. Division Series best-of-seven format.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Here's the one part of this that I would change,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and this was my big complaint going with the Braves
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: as a division champ hosting the Phillies.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Five-game series.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: If they make this, and it doesn't specify what that
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: wild card would be, but it doesn't specify a change.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: which makes me think they're still thinking three-game series. Start
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: that wildcard round. I prefer that all division champs advance
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a division series regardless, but if you're going to keep
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that format where the third-place division champ has to play
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: a wildcard round, make that a best-of-five series. That would
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: be my one ask, especially when you shorten the regular season.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You can do it from a scheduling perspective. I know
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: they're adding best-of-seven with the other series, the division series too,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: but I would like to make that wildcard round a
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: best-of-five series. I just don't feel like a schedule that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: has 162 or 154 games warrants playing a situation where
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: you could be done in two days. If you survived
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: that entire season and made the playoffs, that's a big accomplishment.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Your season should be decided in at least a best-of-five series.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: That's my personal take on it. I hope they move that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Here's something I love about it, Hunt, and I wish
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: more sports would do. The highest seed can pick their opponent.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: So if you are that division champion playing in the wildcard,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you get to decide from the wildcard teams who you play.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be a number structure. So you
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: can pick based on matchup. You can pick based on
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: who you perform well. in the regular season. It adds
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a bulletin board material type thing.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: This is like intentionally walking someone to get someone else,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and the batter who's on deck is thinking, oh, okay,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I see you. You want to play us in the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: first round, huh? Well, we're going to show you. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: love it. I wish the NBA would do this if
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you're the number one seed. You get to pick amongst
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the bottom seeds who you get to play. You don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: have to automatically play the eight seed or whoever it is.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I think this is something that could be used in
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: all sports.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: The NBA, I think would be more of a bulletin
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: board material because in my mind, just initially thinking about it,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm see if you agree in major league baseball or
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in baseball in general, I would just be picking based
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: on the pitching situation coming into the, to the, to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the series, or if you're for, for, to pick your
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: wildcard opponent, I'm just going based on pitching matchup. That's,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that's solely what I'm basing that on. I've just initial
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: thought and NBA, it's like, who do you want to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: avoid team to team? Do you agree with that?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, I think whatever the reason is, it just
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: makes for a compelling celebration.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's great. I like the idea.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how you decide it. Every
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: team would have a different reason as to why they
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: pick a team. It gets based on matchup or history
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Or you just don't want to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: play a division opponent. Would the Braves have decided to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: play the Phillies or the Padres.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: In the first round? Or the Cubs in the first round?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: If you get your pick.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: As that division champion, I think they'd probably play the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Cubs if they had their pick of three.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: They never beat the Padres.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: They just faced off against the Phillies in an important
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: series to win the division. I think they'd probably pick
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs to play. But having that ability to
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: pick would be awesome across all sports. Imagine the college
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: football playoff with those top four seeds in order after
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the first round is decided.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: You get to pick.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It's not just highest seed goes here and this winner
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: goes there or you reshuffle the deck based on seed.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You could go and say, well, I want that group
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: of five team or whoever it is, right? I definitely
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: want them if they won regardless of what the number
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: next to them shows. Let's do this in all sports.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's one area where Major League Baseball crushed
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: it and truly got it right with this format. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: don't love the 154 games, but it's also fine with
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: me because you get a better playoff format.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think instead of expanding the early series
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to where it's a three, I think what they're doing
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is just giving more off days during the season and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: during the postseason, like adding rest days before non-guaranteed games.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So if game's five, six, and seven, they're adding rest
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: days before. And during the season, it sounds like they're
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: guaranteeing most weeks typically a Monday day off, a scheduled
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: day off per week, except for holidays or special events.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: It would be a mandatory day off each week for
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: every team. That's how they'd work it in the schedule,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: with those eight less games. So you wouldn't have the
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: weeks where you have no game off. Every week, one day,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you'd be off.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: What do they mean by split doubleheaders? Each team will
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: play four split doubleheaders? It's like a morning night. Or, like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: it's not back-to-back doubleheaders? Oh, to save a day?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, like, you'd play, like, an 11 a.m. game
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: followed by a 7 p.m.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Game. Okay, yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Instead of going true doubleheader back-to-back.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got you. Right now, the All-Star game is
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: scheduled for Wrigley Field next season. Hopefully, we'd make it there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I'm very pessimistic about actually having much of a season
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: next year based on what we're hearing.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: And if we don't have a season next year, let's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: make the 2028 season the Wrigley Field season.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I hope so.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I just want to see an all-star game at Wrigley Field.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: So let's do it there the next year, if not.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: July 12th and 13th. Let's go through the SEC schedule
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow, shall we? We discussed that. We just pick
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: our game. Of course, we're going to preview Georgia and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Alabama much more. Straight ahead here on Hunting with Roe.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: XXXY Athletics, founded by Jennifer Say, former national champion gymnast,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: former Levi's brand president. She walked away from a corporate
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: job rather than to say something she didn't believe and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: started XXXY Athletics instead. The mission, in their words, power
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: female athletes to take a stand for fair competition. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: they call it the T that launched a movement. This
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is real athletic apparel. It's the official place to get
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Nashville Balls gear, Chad.

• 28:27
  Speaker 2: trucker hats out now. If you want the Nashville Balls
• 28:30

• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Chad, do you want to start with the game, Georgia
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: and Alabama, or do you want to start just going
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: through our picks for the SEC?
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Dealer's choice. However you want to lay it out, we'll discuss.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the game.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the impact of this matchup. And, you know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: weather a play factor, wind plays a factor, all that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: But I can't get away from the idea that Gunnar
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Stockton doesn't play well. Like in the big, the game
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: comes down to five, six big, big moments, big plays.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: And while we've seen in the past, one team get
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: up big, one team come back. This just has an
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: impact moment for the entire college football season across the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: nation to me. We learn a lot about both teams,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: but we learn a lot about Keelan Russell, because I
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: have full confidence that the veteran quarterback shows up and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: plays well.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Do you? I do not.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I do not have full confidence in Alabama. Georgia is
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: my preseason pick to win the SEC. I think it's
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: going to be a great football game, but I like
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Georgia to go in and win on the money line
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: in this game. And if I'm betting, I'm going under.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I think the under and I think Georgia money line
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: would be my play in this game.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Let me We'll see where the over-under is right now
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in total points.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: 51.5 is what I'm seeing. Okay.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So, again, they're thinking that Ray doesn't play a huge
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: factor in that at all.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: And I think defense plays a huge factor in this
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: game for Georgia that will slow down Alabama somewhat. They're
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: going to get theirs at some point, but I think
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the under barely hits, but I like Georgia on the
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: money line.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think that Bama has a Mississippi State-type moment?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily this game, but they have a game where–
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the quarterback doesn't play great and has a turnover fest?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Against their defense, you're saying?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think so with Gunnar Stockton. That moment's not
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: happening in this game. The more likely moment would be
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the following week when they're playing a pair of freshman
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in Knoxville, that that moment could happen on the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: opposite side for Tennessee. But I don't think Gunnar Stockton,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: with all that experience, I don't think it's happening this week.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going to say just from Russell's perspective, too. No.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I think he's fine.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the pack of SEC matchups across the board.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: You really like Texas A & M.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I do. Texas A & M at Missouri. I like
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Texas A & M Moneyline to make it happen. So
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: give me the Aggies to go into Columbia. They're a
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: three-and-a-half-point underdog, but I think they found a little bit
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: of themselves against Arkansas. I know Arkansas is pretty bad,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: and they played them at home, but 31-7 win. Got
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: them going enough. Got their confidence up a bit. I
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: like them to go on the road. And that SEC
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: media darling syndrome strikes again where Missouri loses a home
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: game after the big win over Florida.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: A week ago. I trust A & M more than
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I should, and I don't like Missouri, and I should
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: like them more, I think is my problem here. Maybe
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: it is the home field that really bugs me the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: most here, and I like Missouri more on the road. But, Chad,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I just took the points in this
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: with A & M because I need them to prove
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: it again to me. But I overvalued them preseason, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I think they're undervalued right now on the board. I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: took the points here, and it's just three and a half.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: And I think that tells you something about both A &
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: M and Missouri and the fact that they're coming off
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the big win that they had. Florida, to me, the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: fact that they're coming off a loss, South Carolina, the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: way they've dropped these games, this is the death march
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: more than it is the rebound. And I really like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer. The schedule here does not work out. If
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Florida had won last week and South Carolina wants to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: come in and play the big upset, that's fine. But
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that they're coming off of the loss,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: they're looking to make a statement.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I'm fading you on a number of picks here this week, Hudson,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. I think South Carolina covers the 11.5
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: or 12 points. It's been going kind of back and
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: forth on this. Dylan Stewart returning, I think he's going
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: to have a big game. I do, even with all
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the stuff going on. I think he's going to play
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: well off the edge. I like South Carolina's running game
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to control the clock a little bit with Lenora Sellers
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: running it also. I think Florida wins. I think it's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: a very close game. And Florida squeaks one out of
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Dylan Stewart returning is a sign of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: desperation to me. They've got to have him. They have
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to have all of the elite players on the field.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: And I think if this were any other situation, maybe
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: he waits another game based on the way Beamer was
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: reacting yesterday. a week ago compared to now. And he's
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: not pointing to great practices anymore, but the fact that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he was means he's out of all the accolades he
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: can throw out there to try to keep his team together.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: His team gets down, and I don't think they rebound
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: very well, unfortunately. Texas, Oklahoma. Oklahoma, to me, malaise. I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: would say when it comes to the Sooners, my view
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: on them is very lethargic, if that makes sense. Good,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: not great. Give me Texas to cover. It's my lock
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: of the week. 7.5 is where it dropped. You had
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: it at 8.5. We're allowing the 7.5, though, when it
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: comes to your pick, though, on the bundle. If they
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: win by 8, we're counting it. If Texas wins by 8,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: we're counting it. This is my leg of the parlay
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: for going for the bundle this week. We're both aligned here, Texas.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I think Texas wins by 10-plus points in this game.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be very ugly.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I think the defenses both will look good in this game,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: but I like Texas to win by double digits.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: There's a... There's a game coming up that Vanderbilt wins.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to say it's this week. I don't
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: feel that way, though. I do think they cover this game, though,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: against Ole Miss.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I would like to cover, too. Could be rainy conditions
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: during that game also in Nashville. That might help Vanderbilt
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit in this one. Ole Miss is coming
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: off a bye week after that loss to Florida. They've
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: had two weeks to get ready for this one. I
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: like the Rebels. I'm going to say Vandy covers. but
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I don't love that pick. If I'm doing a confidence
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: meter of picks, I'm not fully confident that they cover
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: in this game, but I will take Vandy to cover
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the 9.5 or 8.5 as it stands.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Right now, but Ole Miss is going to win this game.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I think offensively Tennessee plays it very conservative with the quarterback.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I think they cover late, though, against Arkansas down at Fayetteville.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a house of horrors for Tennessee.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: They've found weird ways to lose, including 20-24, where they
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: were in complete control of that game and lost it
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: late against Arkansas with Nico and that team that eventually
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: went on to the college football playoff. And that was
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: one of their two losses was at Arkansas. This Arkansas team,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: outside of Chris Marshall, who's a very good receiver and
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: is going to be a handful for Tennessee and everyone else,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: that's all they have right now.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Defense, not good.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: They can't run the ball. Casey Jackson has not been
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: a great passer. He's not really been electric running it
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: either when he does that. I think Tennessee is going
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: to take a business-like, methodical approach in this game. It's
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: going to be ugly. It's going to be slow at times.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: But I think the Vols cover that 13.5 on the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: road and handle business.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Final game, LSU at Kentucky. I stayed away from the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: line because I want to know what Vegas knows. It
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: hasn't moved all week. 8.5 is the spread on the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: road for the Tigers. If Kiffin loses this game, Chad...
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: He deserves the heat because this is one you're supposed
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to win for LSU. Kentucky ends up being your example
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma from last year.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Could be. I mean, you're right.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: With Mississippi State looking the way they did against Alabama,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: maybe it is Kentucky that's the surprise team in the
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: college football playoff mix. I think Kentucky covers. I think
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: they're going to play well at home. They felt like
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: they were ready against Alabama. They were for a half,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and they got blown out in the second half. This
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: is their arrival in a big home game in a
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: big-time atmosphere. I think LSU wins a close one, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I think that Lane Kiffin will be spared all the
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: shade and the heat that he's going to be receiving
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: after losing that game, but Kentucky covers the 8.5 in
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe weather a factor there, as Chad mentioned earlier, with
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the wind and other factors at Kroger Field. Those are
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: your SEC matchups for Week 7. Coming up, prop it
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like it's hot. Some props across... the NFL, and much more.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: We're confident going into the weekend here on Hunting With Row.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: This year, the party's getting even bigger.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, there's Jay Boyd.

• 37:26
  Speaker 1: You just got to use the website. Hardrock.bet.clay. That's Hardrock.bet.clay. Chad,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it is time for Profit Like It's Hot. And we've
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: got our props of the week right here, right now. Mine,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going NFL. We're about to throw those up there.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And I'll run through these and my thought process behind it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, over one and a half passing touchdowns. This
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: guy has been dealing throughout the season. And he's going
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: against the secondary. that has not been great in giving
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: up passing touchdowns, especially in the red zone. I like
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence to continue that success. Give me Nico Collins.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Anytime touchdown against the Titans. It's not like they're 0-4, yes.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: But C.J.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Stroud has been throwing for big yardage. I just I
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: look at the Titans they've only allowed four passing touchdowns
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: this season but I think the Texans come in looking
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: to get right to do that they've got to go
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: through their top receiver give me Nico Collins anytime touchdown
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: plus 130 and Christian McCaffrey over 34 and a half
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: passing yards out of the backfield against Seattle I think
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Seattle is going to sell out to stop the run
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey usually gets his anyway his anytime touchdown odds are
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: always always strong I think that utilizes him more out
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: of the backfield here against the Seattle defense. I think
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: he gets his on the edge, picks up some big
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: first downs for the unbeaten 49ers.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: I like it, Hutton. I'm going to go to the
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: NFL with my props also as we look at mine.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go Carnell Tate. Got it going a
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: little bit with Cam Ward last week. He's going to
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: get in the end zone in this game. I'm taking
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: the Titans to win on the money line over a
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: touchdown underdog. It is now or never for the Tennessee Titans.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: It is put up or shut the hell up for good.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I would be fine with them never doing a press
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: conference if it wasn't against NFL rules after they lose
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: They're not losing this game. They're at home.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: They're playing another 0-4 team. They are finally going to
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: show some of the improvement they keep talking about.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: About.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I think they win an ugly game against the Houston Texans.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: To do that, Carnell Tate's going to need to be big.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: He had a good game against Baltimore, except for the fumble.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Give me Carnell Tate any time touchdown at plus 375.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: And Drake London. Greatest show on turf.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: There's a new one, the Atlanta Falcons with Michael Penix Jr.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Give me over 82.5 receiving yards at minus 115. Those
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: are my props for the week, Hutton. I like the Falcons' offense.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I like the Titans to get off the schneid first
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: before the Houston Texans and win on Sunday.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Chad, I have jotted these down. I'm going to play
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: these like they've already been played, just for you.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Will you play Titans' money line the way I did?
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Not the props, but will you play Titans' money line?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: You know what? I'll follow you on that just because
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: of the vibes here.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I don't want charity. If you don't buy into it
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: or don't believe it, you don't have to play it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: You followed me in the same respect. I don't want
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: to force you to do it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to roll with you on this. Roll with us.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: We ask everybody to roll with us. I'll do the same.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I'll follow you on that. So Titans Moneyline. Writing that down. So, Chad,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: here's the deal with the Titans. Look, they're already preaching
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: the whole, like, we're getting better game by game. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: want consistency, all right? I want to see Cam Ward
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: start to show consistency that's under center, behind center. Coming
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: off of a performance which was his best of the year,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: it was a loss, yes. But now, okay, if this
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: is what it is, if this is what it's going
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to be, if we're going to see him continue to
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: start games, Let's start showing improvement instead of taking one
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: step forward and, at worst, not taking another step forward
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: but staying exactly where you are. No neutral games here.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: No steps back, of course. But I want to see
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: steps forward game by game. It's October. Time to take
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: those steps to show true improvement and the fact that
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you're headed from good to great. Because when they drafted him,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what they say he's going to be, an
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: elite quarterback. He's number one overall. There's a standard that
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: comes with that, like it or not. And it's time
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: to show that he's taking over not just the position,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: but the team. Taking the ball and knowing you're going
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: to go get points when you need them. That separates
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the good from great quarterbacks. The average from just a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: guy to the top of the line elite style that
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: it takes to manage a team from the quarterback position.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: He's nowhere close to being that. But I need to
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: show signs that he's at least improving from where he's been.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Hutton, I'm 100% with you on this.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: It is time to stop talking about progression and improvement
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and show it.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: And how do you show improvement in the NFL? It's
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: not losing close. No. It's not making the drastic mistake
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: at the end of the game and not losing it
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: for your team. It's not just when you don't do that.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: It's not because you scored one touchdown in the second
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: half against Baltimore after they pulled their quarterback down. in
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: the game because, yes, he hurt his ankle, but also
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: he could have played if it were the Buffalo Bills
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: or any legitimate NFL team. They pulled him because they
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: knew they were going to win, even without Lamar Jackson
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: in that game.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: It is embarrassing.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: It is not where anyone wants to be as an
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: NFL team. The coaches should be embarrassed. The players should
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: be embarrassed. How do you respond to embarrassment? How do
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: you respond when your manhood is challenged? How do you
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: respond when everyone around the league is laughing at you
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: At 0-4.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Well, you respond by winning a football game.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: And this is an eminently winnable football game for the
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans. The Texans have a whole batch of issues, too.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: They are on the road. They are 0-4. They have
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: their head coach assuming play-calling duties on defense.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Go win. Go win. Go win.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Shut up about everything else. You're firing front office people
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: and not speaking about it. Go start winning football games
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and show everyone that what you're talking about is not
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: just lip service, that this team is actually improving, they're
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: actually getting better, and they can actually be a force
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: in the future.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: To do that, you've got to start winning some games.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: If they lose this hunt and go to 0-5, 0-17
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: is legitimately on the table.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I'll say this to wrap up briefly. it changes the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: conversation at least to a win and the snowball effect
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: that could happen. And you start talking about October instead
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: of December. And thankfully we would be there. And it's
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: 0-4 against 0-4. Take advantage of that instead of, you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: do what the Texans are trying to do. Get right
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: in all of that. Chad, let's watch some good football
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: this weekend. And safe travels. Glad you're avoiding the storms.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: And we'll catch up on Monday.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: I'll be talking to you from the beach on Monday, Hutton.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: It's going to be fun.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. Hey, a lot more coming all day right
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: here on the Sports State Network. He's Withrow. I'm Hutton.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: This is Hutton and Withrow presented by Hard Rock Bet.
