  Speaker 2: Everybody, seventy six.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? It's towed back with you with toadstool Sports.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It is whatever day, Friday, January twenty third. I need
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: my coffee. I got up like an hour earlier. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: don't know. I was feeling sick glass night. I'm like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to sleep a little bit earlier. Made me
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get up a little bit earlier. I sense the snow coming.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get like two to three feet of snow.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Apparently at first it was like, no, we're gonna get
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: three to six inches.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Now it's like, nah, two to three feet.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, which one is it? Like, that's a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that's a pretty big disparity. But we're up here in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: New England, mare, Like nobody even really gives a shit.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's just like, yeah, I don't know, one foot two
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: feet all right, Like it happens. Meanwhile, you got like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. Look, shutting the whole state down for like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: three to six inches, oh man, for a little bit
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of ice on the road, and not the the ice
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that's up in Minnesota. Well they have both kinds of ice.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, I'm gonna have a bunch, dude.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I need to give up more plays on the Sixers
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: because their theme song is too good.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't even like the Sixers.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I can't stand Philadelphia, sorry, Jeffrey, but the song is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a banger, and I got to do it when I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: give out a win on the on the Sixers. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: there you go, mister Pinsey. What's up, Tyson? What's up?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Kyle? What's up?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I'm actually not very happy about yesterday. It was a win.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It was four and three. We started out with the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The afternoon was a winner with Appalachi and State. They
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were close for a while there early in the second half.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It was close, but they pulled away in the end.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We got a close win on I own. I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that was a real toss up of a game, Like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: statistically it was pretty close that one could have gone
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: either way.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But I guess you'd rather have the small home underdog
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in a.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Situation like that, and that's what we had thousand easy
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: win with them. So we were rolling early on. Man.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The only early loss was well, Northeastern didn't do well.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to say about that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Man, if you look at the box score, I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: there was some crazy disparity there. I'm gonna bring it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up right now. Actually, let me see.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Actually I don't have it up in my.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I could share my screen right now.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Whatever, as we go through what happened yesterday Northeastern, there
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: was something that happened in that game where I was like,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: come on, man, they did I mean they lost by fifteen,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Like go through it that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: In you know, that detailed the manner. But they had
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: nine more field goal attempts in the game. Really, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I mean they shot horribly from the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: free throw line. Yeah, they got out rebounded. I don't know.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It wasn't the best game. And then what else do
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we have?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, New Mexico State was the most frustrating one.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State. If you look at what happened in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that game, it was ridiculous, Like they they outshot Missouri
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: State in field goal attempt sixty two to fifty three.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Missouri State shoots fifty one percent from the field, though
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State was missing all of the three pointers.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yet again, New Mexico State's.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Opponent got sent to the free throw line more, which
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was something I mentioned in the Instagram video for this play.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State has been on the wrong side of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the free throw attempts more than like any team in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the country. Like that's part of the reason why they're
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: so unlucky. The other team just keeps getting sent to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the free throw line. And it's not just New Mexico
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: State committing more fouls, it's just they're getting called for
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: more fouls. It's ridiculous. But yes, they did get out
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: rebounded as well, but still that really really angered me.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And then we had, of course the Philadelphia seventy six
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: ers with the win. Golden State couldn't get there, although
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Golden State was winning by four or five late in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the game, but they were pretty much just never gonna
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get there.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And that was that was the whole day.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm wearing my Bruins hat because the Bruins won
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a game they probably shouldn't have won, even though they
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: were winning four to nothing, and they almost blew the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: entire game. They got outplayed in that game, dude. They
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: got a couple of power play goals early, so yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they were effective on the power play early, which is
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what put them in the lead early.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm happy they won.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So there is that. All right, Let's jump into today. Man, today,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm only gonna have one college basketball play here. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have a couple other opinions here that don't really make
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the cut, and then two hockey plays, and it's gonna
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be a rare Friday where I'm skipping the NBA board.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've done that on other Fridays too.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Friday used to be like the big NBA day, if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I remember, it seemed like back in the day, like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: not that long ago. I thought it was almost like
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: every team was playing on Friday for the most part.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: But that's not really the case recently.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I think they are only like eight games and I'm
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not gonna have a play in any of them. College basketball,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: we have some weird stuff going on. We have more
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: noontime action between two teams played yesterday. UL Monroe and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Appleachian State both played yesterday. Apple Aatchid State one, of course,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and they're staying at home, so they probably have a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage with the fact that they.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Don't have to travel here.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: They got the win yesterday for US against Louisiana. New
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: All Monroe is coming in New All Monroe's even worse
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: probably than Louisiana. They are bad, dude, Like, where does
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Ken Bomb have them? Yeah? He has Louisiana Monroe a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: bottom like ten team, like even worse than that, like
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: seventh worst in the country, even worse than their Louisiana
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: counterparts there, which is why app State is a fifteen
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorite.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Although that you know, that's probably a little bit overkill.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm New Al Monroe.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I believe they did play yesterday as well, and they
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: got obliterated by Marshall. And I think that was a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: TV game. I think early on, wasn't it. I don't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: know why that game would have been on TV if
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it was. No, it was only on ESPN Plus. But yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you lose by forty fifty five points, excuse me,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and give up.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: One hundred and fifteen. I mean, there's probably no way
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to go but up on that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know, man, This line, just this line
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: does seem a little bit out of control. Even though
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Appalachi State is staying at home, They're up from fourteen and.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: A half to fifteen and a half.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I know how bad Yue Monroe is, but yeah, I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't know if I would I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if I would lay the points in that one.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I might lean towards taking the points in that one,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but I want no part of it. Obviously, it's a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fairly low total in the one forties. I felt like
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we got a little bit lucky with app State pulling
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: away in yesterday's game. So I don't know. But those
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: are my thoughts on that one, all right, I feel
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: like am I usually like in the middle of the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: left hand side of the screen. I don't know. Something's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: thrown me off today, Like I don't know, stream Yard
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just see be doing some weird stuff. Then, I don't know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We have a bunch of afternoon games here. I mean,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: if you want me to talk about some of these
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: other games, I guess I can. But Stetson and Austin
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Pee has some interest because these teams also played yesterday,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and Stetson they seem to match up well against Lipscomb
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: or something, man, because they beat Lipscomb at home, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: then yesterday they almost won on the road. They took
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Lipscomb into overtime. So obviously I'm gonna lean against Stetson today.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I almost wanted to make I almost made it
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a play, dude, because this is a huge performance from Stetson,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and again, I think they just match up well here
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: against Lipscomb. For whatever reason, Lipscomb had a really bad
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: shooting game. They had more field goal attempts in the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: game and they still almost lost and they only shot
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: thirty nine percent from the field.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So that's a bit of an outlier there, I would say.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: All though, Stetson massively out rebounded Lipscomb, which is interestic.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So that's one thing that kind of worries me about
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: fading Stetson in the game today.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But they gave it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: They're all in this game, man, against Lipscomb, and they
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: were fifteen and a half point underdogs, And you know
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: what I say, When you're a massive underdog like that,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and it was against like the team it's probably the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: best team in the Atlantic Sun and you fall just short,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be flat, especially when you have to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: play the next day and they're having to travel to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a different city for it. Although they're staying in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: state of Tennessee for this, but they got to go
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to Clarksville now, and it might be the last train
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to Clarksville because they might lose to Austin p here.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Austin p also played yesterday, and I thought they would
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: have a more difficult time because they were coming off
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of I believe, their first conference loss, and it was
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a big game against Lipscomb. But they had no problem
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: bouncing back from that and they won by twenty one
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: yesterday against Florida Gulf Coast, who's not very good this year.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But that might set Austin PE up a little bit
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: better in this game. I mean, they're not having a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: travel they're staying at home. Easy win yesterday. They don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: really have a huge game on deck Eastern Kentucky next.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So if I was gonna play this game, I would
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: have to lay the points with Austin p They did
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: drop from fourteen and a half to fourteen, though, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I see no other way to play this. My worry
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: is just that Stetson, Well, there are two worries like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I think, well, it all is basically one. It's that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Stetson's not gonna overlook Austin P. So if you're gonna
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: play Austin P here, you're playing that Stetson is just
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: not gonna have anything left in the tank, like physically,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I don't think they're
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: gonna have a problem getting up for the game mentally
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: because they actually already played at Austin P at home
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and Austin P beat them. So this is the second
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: match up here, and you know, I like to look
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: for the road underdogs if that team lost the first game,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: similar to what I do in the NFL. So that's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: one hesitation that I have with this, even though again
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I would still lay the points with Austin P if
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I was gonna do this, I think the spot is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: really difficult for Stetson if you dig into this game
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Stetson when they lost to Austin P at home, Stetson
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: actually out rebounded Austin P in the game, but they
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: massively lost the turnover battle. So there are some things
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: about this game that actually say that Stetson I actually
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: outplayed Austin P in the game as unbelievable as that sounds,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: because Stetson's not very good. Stetson actually had more fueld
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: goal attempts in the game as well.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: They do jack up a lot of threes a lot of.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: The time, though Stetson does so there's some three point
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: variants that you get out of them. And there were
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: nine and a half point underdogs in that game the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: first time. So the line here actually almost seems a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: little bit well, no, it seems about right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I guess it depends like how much do.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You give for home court here, But the fact that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Stetson is having to travel on a back to back
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: off of a monster game, I think you probably do
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: have to give Austin P a little bit more for that.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: So I actually think the line might.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Be a little bit short given what the situation looks like,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: although I think ken Bom has this line at around thirteen.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So do with all that information what you will. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I would still lay it with Austin P if I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: was going to play it. And then the other teams
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that I just talked about are also playing today. Florida
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Gulf Coast is having to go from Austin P to Lipscomb.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They're going from Clarksville to Nashville. Lipscomb is staying at home,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and Lipscomb is coming off that near loss. And you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: know what I talk about, when a huge favorite almost loses,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: it tends to refocus them in the next game. So
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I think that might happen for Lipscomb here. So I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: would lay the points with Lipscomb in.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: This one as well.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: They don't have a huge game on deck really against Jacksonville,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: who's close to the bottom of the standings, so.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Florida Gulf Coast.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: If they played really close against Austin p yesterday, then
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I might be like actually going full board on.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Like both of these full bore, excuse me on both
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of these.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But but as it stands, you know, well maybe this
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is becoming a bore and me talking about these, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: these I thought there was a little bit of an
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: angle still for both of these, and really it is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: fading Stetson off of playing a huge game as a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: dog and playing on Lipscomb after almost losing is.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: A huge favorite.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think those are kind of the angles there, So
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I prefer both home teams laying the points in those.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Lipscomb has gone up from a four and a half
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: point favorite to an eight point favorite though, so I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: don't know what is going on with that line. The
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: initial line of four and a half actually seemed really short.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what ken Bom has the number at
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: because I just decided to skip the game and ken
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Bomb wasn't gonna sway me one way or the other.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But you're losing live value on lipscumb if you missed
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that four and a half. I mean, I think it
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was six when I looked at her rolier. So that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: line is skyrocketing, and I don't exactly know why. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if maybe there's an injury or something on
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the Florida Gulf Coast side. I have no idea, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that game's not on my card. I prefer Austin P
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: over Lipscomb anyway. Out of those two games, I think
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Austin P is actually the stronger of the two plays,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: but I like both home favorites there. Furman is that
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you would see Greensboro and Furman lost out right in
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: their last game to Citadel. So that was a game.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Where I don't remember.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody asked for my opinion on that game, and I hope,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I hope that I was correct with my Lean on Citadel, Like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I hope I gave about a Citadel Lean in that game,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember if I did.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Citadel is like the little brother.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: In like all of these South Carolina schools, and they
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: played well, they beat They beat not Wafford. I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Wafford might be in South Carolina too, But now they
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: beat Furman here. Yeah, so Furman is coming up a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: really really ugly loss. Man. I think they've actually lost
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: two times as a favorite now twice in a row.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Is a favorite at this time, double digit favorite, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they lose an overtime to the Citadel. Obviously that's a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: bad loss. So I would be looking towards Furman to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: bounce back after that. I don't know exactly what happened
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in this game. Well, actually I do. There was a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: huge free throw disparity in this game. Furman actually was
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the slightly better shooting team in the game, and they
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: had more field goal attempts as well, but the reason
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: they lost was free throws. I mean, look at this,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Citadel had thirty free throw attempts and Furman only at sixteen.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So seems like some home biased reffing there. Man, So
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that's really the main reason Furman lost that game, So
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna bounce back.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: That was just an ugly.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Loss, and it's kind of explainable when you dive into
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the box score there. It is a second straight road
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: game for them, but I think they're gonna be in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a foul mood and they're gonna come out and play well.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: In this one. You would see Greensboro. I expect them
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to show.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Up as well, though, because Furman is one of the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: better teams in this conference. They're ahead of Greensboro on
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the standings. Greensboro easy win over VMI in their last game,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: so I don't really want to do anything with the game,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: but I would probably lean towards laying the points with
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Furman though, just because they are coming off such an
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: ugly loss there. But the line actually dropped a little
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: bit on this game, from five and a half to five,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So some information for you on that one. Though. All
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: these games are in the afternoon that I've talked about
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: so far, a lot of afternoon Friday action. Here five
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: point thirty pm, we have an ESPN two game, the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: first actually nationally televised game here between number twenty four
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: ranks Saint Louis and Saint Bonaventure. Saint Louis is a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: legit man. I think we finally are gonna get to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: see Robbie Avila in a tournament setting finally, which will
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: be fun. Do they deserve to be ranked in the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: top twenty five? Probably not. Ken Bum has them close
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth, so it's not that far off. This is
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a legit Saint Louis team, man, Although I think Saint
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Bonaventure is probably not as bad as their conference record looks.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They're one in five in the conference so far. But yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't know, man. I mean, they lost a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: fairly close game at VCU. They lost to Richmond at home.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: That's not an easy opponent either. They've had a couple
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: other road games. I mean, the LaSalle game was the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: worst loss that they have, but Bonaventure did finally get
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a win in their last game against Loyola Chicago, who
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: we know is a mess this year. Sister Jean no
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: longer being with them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I think, I don't know.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: It seems to have tanked their season rather than you
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: think that they would like get up and play well
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in a scenario like that, but that has not been
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: At all.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But for Saint Bonadventure, they just got their first conference
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: win finally and ended a long losing streak, so I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: think that's good.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: That will give the momentum coming into this.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you just get that monkey off your back,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: as I always say, when you have it won yet
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in conference, it's like it's looming, like it affects you mentally,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and then once you get through that, then you can
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: play a lot looser. For Saint Louis, it's not really
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a bad spot for them here, though they do have
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: George Washington up next, so possibly they would be looking
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: ahead to that. They're coming off a close call against
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Ducaine though as Duquine.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Actually played them pretty well.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I believe I leaned to Dukine plus the points in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that one and they did cover, so because Saint Louis
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: did have a close call there, they might actually come
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in and play better in this game. All that being said, though,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I probably would still lean towards taking the points with
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Bonna Venture in this one. Saint Louis is down from
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: eight and a half to eight here. The line does
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: seem it makes it look pretty easy to lay the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: points with Saint Louis. Let's just say that. So yeah,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I would probably take the points, but it's not a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: game that I love by any means. Fox Sports won
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: at six pm as a great Big Ten match up
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: here are There are a couple of Big Ten games today.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: This is the uglier of them. Indiana at Rutgers. Oh God.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Indiana's coming off of a respectable loss at Michigan where
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I think they covered. They lost by fourteen and they
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: think they they came inside of the number there, which
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound good. But Indiana still they were not in
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: position to win that game or anything like that. They've
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: lost four games in a row. They haven't looked good
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: really in conference play. Man, They've gotten some wins against
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: some of the dregs of the Big Ten, and then
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they have not stepped up one class.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: But guess who is one of the dregs of the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Big Ten.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be Rutgers. Rutgers is pretty awful, although
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: they actually have more conference wins than some of these
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: other teams. They're not good, though, But Indiana does also
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have Purdue on deck, so that's something to keep in mind.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Not only does Purdue an elite team, one of the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: top teams in the conference, but that's an in state
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: rivalry game as well between Indiana and Purdue. So the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: concern with Indiana is that they might be looking ahead here.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't classify this as a sandwich because they
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: lost by double digits to Michigan, So I don't think
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: that that's going to like hang them over or anything,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but the look ahead component might be a concern. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they are having to travel from Michigan to New Jersey here,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so that's not that easy to do them. Rutgers is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: actually coming off a better performance. They actually almost won
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: at Iowa. So Rutgers is actually maybe in the debatably
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: worst spot here because they were seventeen and a half
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: point underdogs in this game against Iowa and they actually
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: were in position to potentially win this game, like they
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: were down two in the final minute of this game.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So Rutgers actually maybe in the worst spot off of
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that huge game and they have Michigan State on deck,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: although I guess if you're Rutgers, They're probably not really
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: gonna overlook anybody. Rutgers has been better at home in
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: conference play. Their only home conference loss was to Purdue,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and they beat Oregon and Northwestern, although those aren't very
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: impressive wins, and I think we had Rutgers in the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: game against Northwestern because I think they caught Northwestern in
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a bad spot. But yeah, this is a tough game
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to handicap. Really.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I think I would probably.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Lay the points with Indiana, though, to be honest, Like
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Rutgers coming up that huge game against Iowa and they're
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: having to travel from Iowa back home, so both teams
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: have traveled from the Midwest here. The line for some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: reason dropped from nine to six here on Indiana. I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: don't really know why, but I would probably have to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: lay it with Indiana if I was gonna play it
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: in Indiana. I mean, they're gonna have to do something
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: because they're on the verge of missing the tournament yet again,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so I think Indiana might be the team it's more
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: incentivized to come in and put in a better effort
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: here as well, So I would probably slightly lean towards
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Indiana there. But again I don't know if there's an
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: injury or what's going on that line move there. High
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Point in Radford is a pretty good game in the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Big South here between two of the top three teams.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: High Point is actually now behind Winthrop in the standings
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: because they lost to Winthrop and they have one fewer
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: win right now in the conference.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be a big game.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: But Radford is pretty competitive. It's a third road game
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in four games for high Point. High Point bounce back
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: nicely off of that loss to Winthrop, though they easily
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: handled USC Upstate. They don't have a bigger game up next,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: so this is a big game for both teams. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: think both teams.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Will show up for it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Radford actually probably sets up worse in this game because
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: they just went on the road to Winthrop, who's the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: other better team in this conference for us, and Radford
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: lost the game by one in a close call. And
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Winthrop was a favorite in this game. Yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: they were in nine and a half point favorite, So
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Radford came really close to playing off the nine and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a half point upset in that game. Now, they're not
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: gonna overlook High Point obviously, but the question is what
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: are they gonna have left in the tank after that?
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So I think I would have to probably lean towards
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: high Point in this game. I just think the scheduling
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: spot works out better for them. The money is coming
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: against them. Though they've dropped from nine to seven and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a half. And again, I think sometimes you see these
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: like market moves, and I think some of it is
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: like professionals that play based on the numbers and not
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: on the situation. So sometimes the numbers in the situation
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: will be in conflict, you know, And I'm much more
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of a situational handicap or like I, I probably don't
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: factor in the number even as much as I should,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you know, like I almost go pure situation, which almost
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: seems like pure vibes. But I don't know, that's just
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the way that it's worked out for me. CBS Sports
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is televised U Mass at Buffalo for some reason in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the MAC, I don't know why. U Mass is coming
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: up a pretty decent win at home against Toledo. Toledo
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: is in the top you know, five or six teams
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: in the in the MAC. Here U Mass probably worse
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: than that, though that U Mass does have Miami Ohio
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: on deck, that Miami Ohio team that nobody could get
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: rid of. They're ranked in the top twenty five. Ken
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Bump still has them ranked around like ninetieth, and they
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: faced very very easy schedule though Miami Ohio just won
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: at Kent State. And by the way, there's a decent
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: chance that Miami Ohio finishes the regular season undefeated at
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: this point because they actually don't have to play on
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the road at Akron. I looked at their schedule like
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they must have to play two games against Akron because
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that's like a big in state rivalry thing, but no,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: they only had one game against Akron. It was at home,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and they already won that one. So it's crazy because
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I think if they had to play at AC I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: think they would lose. But it's insane. Miami Ohio has
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a very, very easy schedule and their most difficult game
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: remaining is on the road at Ohio in the season finale,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. But of course it's possible they slip
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: up at some point, but anyway, U Mass does have
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: them next, so it could be a look at for
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: U Mass going to Buffalo. I do think Buffalo is
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: not as good as their record looks though, as I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: keep saying, Buffalo had a really really easy out of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: conference schedule and they're in conference schedule actually was really
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: easy to start, and then since they started facing the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: better teams in the conference, they've lost every game. Although
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: we know Buffalo is probably not as good as any
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of those teams Ohio, Kent State, Miami Ohio, and Akron.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: They're definitely not better than those last three, but those
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: are the teams they lost too. They lost to Akron
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in pretty much a blowout, but Buffalo played really competitively
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: at Miami Ohio. They almost won that game, and that's
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: what they were coming off of, so I think they
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: just had no steam left at that point. They're back
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: at home, they're against U Mass. Buffalo, with a bunch
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of losses in a row, They're gonna be looking for
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a win here, man, So I probably prefer the Buffalo
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: side in this one.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: U Mass is gone up a little bit from one
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to one.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And a half, but I think I would probably take
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the one and a half with Buffalo in that one.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: If I was gonna play that game.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, but I think the spot
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: sets up a little bit better for them. Long Island
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: at stone Hill I'm gonna talk about because Long Island
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: just lost a win streak. They took their first conference loss,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: so sometimes when that happens, I talk about how the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: team might be hungover coming off of a game like
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that and going into the next game, and it's a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: third straight road game for Long Island, so it's not
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: actually the greatest spot for them.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Although they did lose as a favorite in.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Their last game at Lemoyne, and I think Long Island
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: was only about a four and a half point favorite
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in that game. And I'm going to talk about that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: game in a little while for my best bet actually
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: in college basketball. But I could see it going both ways.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: You could make the argument that well, Long Island was
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the better team and they came They're coming off a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: game that they probably should have won based on the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: fact they were a favorite. And when I show you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the box scorer in this game, you're probably not even
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: gonna believe it. There was. That game was total insanity.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's one of the most insane box scores that I've
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: ever seen. I'm not even joking, Like, there's no way,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: there's no way to overstate it. And I'll show you
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that when I talk about Lemoine because they're playing today.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so my first reaction to that was, well,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Long Island's gonna bounce back here, but maybe they won't
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: because I don't know they play Lemoyne again. In two games.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: It's a third straight road game. They hadn't lost in
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: conference yet, so it is possible to be hung over here.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: They're having to go from Lemoyne is in Syracuse, New York,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and they're having to go to easton Mass for Stonehill here.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Stonhill is coming off a probably an uglier loss really
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: because Lemoyne has actually been pretty competitive in the conference
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: this year. Sonill just lost to Saint Francis. Saint Francis
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: is really bad, so that's a bad loss for Stonehill. Man,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: there's no way around that, although Saint Francis is actually
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: favored in the game. But I still think that's a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: real ugly loss if you lose to a team like that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe Stonehill was looking.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Ahead to Long Island here, so I don't know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, looking at the game, I think I would
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: actually probably take the points with stone Hill in that
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: one plus the seven in that one. It's a low
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: total of one thirty eight as well, it looks like
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bit of an ugly one. Speaking
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of Lemoyne and Wagner, here we go, man, best bets
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: we are going to be on Wagner here plus the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: points they're gonna fade Lamoyne, and I think this might
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: be an ugly game as well. We have a pretty
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: low total in this game as well. I think, well,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it's one forty seven. It's gone down a little bit. Actually,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you can get a better number on this right now.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Let me see, because the seven and a half, of
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: course is the key number here, but it looks like
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the number is going up. And I'm pretty sure ken
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Bam has this number.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: At about six. So if we're getting more value on.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: This now, I see all the books that I see
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: right now are either at seven and a half or
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: eight and a half, because dude, these books just screw
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you at this point, like they the number should be eight,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: like consensus right now. But the books are just trying
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to screw you. So you can either get eight and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a half at bet mgm I'm looking at right now
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and you have to pay more juice for it, or
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and FanDuel or and the score actually, or you can
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: play DraftKings seven and a half and it's at even money. Now.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I would just wait.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I would wait to see if the other books put
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: this game up and whatever, but get at least seven
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and a half on this, and I think it's fine,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: but you might be able to get a better number
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: than this cloud. What's up, man, Pittsburgh Penguins, I see
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: you're a terrible towel avatar. There, you're a Pittsburgh fan. There,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm an Aaron Rodgers fan.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I will, I will give you that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I as a well, I'm all over the place with
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: my rooting, but as a Bruins fan, I'm I'm not
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: a fan of the Penguins. I will, I will put
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that out there. And I do think that they're overrated
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: this year. I apologize that. That's just that's my read
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: on the on the situation there. Thanks for checking out
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the show man, I appreciate it. SOB. Yeah, you went
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: five and oh yesterday, I'm really really mad about the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Warriors not covering. You had it right with the first quarter.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You got the Blues and Ohio State. I agree with
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you on Ohio. I probably agree on both. I don't
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: know if I agree on the Saint Louis side. I
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: agree with Ohio State. Those neither of those are my
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: plays though. And yesterday you had yeah Penguins, Predators, Yeah, Sixers.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: We were both on the Sixers yesterday. That was a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: good win. It went into overtime though, for the Sixers
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to get that win. But anyway, all right, Wagner here, dude,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: if you look at Lomoyne's box score, you're gonna see
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: why I'm doing this. But also we can we can
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: look at ken Bom here. Of course, do you really
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: want to lay points with the two hundred and sixty
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: sixth two hundred and sixty sixth best team in the country, Lemoyne,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I know they're at home and whatever, but I kind
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of don't.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: They do play faster, They're on the faster side of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the tempo, whereas Wagner is gonna want to slow it down.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: But it is easier to slow it down if you're
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: like the lesser team and whatever, So Wagner might be
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: able to muddy this thing up. Lamoyn is a very
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: bad defensive team, although both of these teams are at
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: two eighty fourth, and Lamoyn has faced a very weak schedule,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: by the way, at three hundred and forty second, although yeah,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: ken Bomb has them as a unlucky team as well.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: But if you look at Wagner, yes, I know, Wagner
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: is total crap. Three hundred and twenty seventh in ken
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: BOM's rankings. They're comparable with limoyn on offensively. Defensively, they're
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: worse defensively, They're really really bad, I know, But again
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: they might be able to muddy this thing up, slow
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the game down both teams. It's a really weak schedule,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: but ken bum does have Wagner in the bottom like
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: twenty five in luck, so Wagner has underperformed according to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: ken Bumb. But really this is about the spot man.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Wagner is coming into this on five straight losses, so
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get motivation out of them.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And I know it's a third straight road game.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: They went to New Haven, Connecticut, they went to Fairleigh Dickinson,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: which I believe is in New Jersey, and now they're
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: coming up to Syracuse, New York.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I know, and I know they have Long Island on.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Deck, and that's the team that's in front in the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: conference right now. But this Wagner team, they have one
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: winning conference man like they I don't think they can
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: really overlook anybody right now. So I think they will
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: show up for this game. And my problem is with
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Lemoye really well, not a problem, but this is a
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: fade of Lemoyne. I mean, first of all, already, it's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a big win. The fact that Lamoye beat Long Island
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and gave them their first conference loss, and Long Island
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: is the best team in this conference. Big win for Lemoyne,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: especially because Lemoyn is also pretty new to Division one,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: so that's a big win for them. And Long Island
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I believe won this conference within the last couple of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: years as.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Well, huge win for them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Also, I didn't check to see if it was a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: revenge spot or anything. Let me see. Uh no, I believe, yeah,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Leamoyn in the conference tournament they lost to Central Connecticut
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: last year. But anyway, now Lamoy's coming to this game
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: against Wagner here, who's near the bottom of the conference fairly.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Dickinson up next, and then Long Island. Those are bigger
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: games than Wagner, even though FDU is kind of middle
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: of the pack. But Wagner is gonna be really easy
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to overlook right now, I think, And if you look
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: at this box score, this is really why I decided
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: to do this. This was one of the most misleading
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: results you will ever see. The fact that Lemoyne won
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: this game. Look at this game, Long Island had thirty
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: more field goal attempts in the game than Lamoyne did
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: thirty and they had six more makes than Lemoyne did
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and they lost the game.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: How is that even, dude?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think you will ever find a game in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: history where a team attempted thirty more field goals and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: didn't and yeah, and didn't win the game. I mean,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: that's that's just complete insanity. And to make it worse,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Long Island only went to the line twelve times and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: they missed half of their free throws. Lemoyne went to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the line thirty one times. So this is like complete
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: biased refing, I assume, totally misleading. I mean, there might
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: have been some intentional free throws at the end, but
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: still a thirty one to twelve free throw attempt to sparity,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and yeah, Lemoyne did. Lemoyne actually turned the ball over
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: more but still won the game.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: But that's you know, the turnovers were close.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing that you see here is
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that Long Island also outrebounded Lemoye by double digits. When
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: do you ever see a team dominate the rebound battle
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: win the rebound battle by twelve have thirty more field
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: goal attempts and yet lose the game. It's unbelievable, Like
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: it's insane. I couldn't believe it when I looked at
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: this box score. Lemoyne shot sixty percent from the field
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and fifty six percent from three point range. Absolute insanity.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And this is, of course, is a Lamoyn team. This
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: is not a very good offensive team, although they're worse defensively,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: but still, it's just completely insane, Like there's gonna have
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to be some regression here. This was one of the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: most misleading results that you'll see all year. So I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: just have to do it. I have to fade Lamoyne.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: And should this team be laying points like this, I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: don't think so. On this line keeps going up and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: up and up, by the way, so you're probably gonna
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: get nine on this. Uh So I would just wait
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to find a good number on this man, eight and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a half, nine whatever. I'm sure you'll find it out
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: there at some book. So seven and a half is
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: what I put it in. I put it into the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: system when I put the banners in for the show.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you're gonna get a better number than that.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Wagner is the play. My only college basketball play today.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Fairley Dickinson is at Central Connecticut. I know I'm talking
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: about this Northeast Conference a lot here. Central Connecticut just
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: had a pretty ugly.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Loss in Mercyhurst.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Now, that was their first loss in conference since Long Island,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: or I think it was the only other conference loss.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: It was a bad loss though Central Connecticut was a
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: road favorite in that one. It did end a win
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: streak for them, but I kind of think they're going
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to bounce back from that coming back home. So I
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: actually prefer Central Connecticut in this one. Fairley Dickinson is
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: coming up a decent win over Wagner where I believe
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: FDU was actually favored in that game, a small home favorite,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: but I prefer Central Connecticut the better team and what
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I think is kind of a bounce back. You'd have
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to lay seven and a half with them, though they're
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: not really a great team to lay points. But this
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: is a big favorite though similar to last year, the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Citadel who I just talked about a little while ago
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: in the soakon is at East Tennessee State. There are
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of situations that shape up here today. Man,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it's surprising that I'm only on one game with all
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: these situations, that's just the way that it is. The
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Citadel is coming off that massive upset of Firman, which
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I showed you already, and it was a little bit
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: misleading when you look at that box score as well.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Mostly again to refresh your memory, Citadel had way more
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: free throw attempts in the game, so it looks like
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: there was some bias refing in that game. Big upset
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: for them against Furman. Now they gotta go play East Tennessee,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: who is near the top, actually at the top of
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: this conference right now. But that's kind of my hesitation
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: with it, is that if you're gonna fade the Citadel here,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: which I still would, I would still lay the points
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: with East Tennessee here. But if you're gonna do that,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: you're banking on the Citadel just having nothing left in
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the tank here. And they are playing a third road
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: game in four games. It is definitely a difficult spot
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: for them. But mentally, I don't think they're gonna lack focus,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you know, because they're playing the best team in the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: conference here. But that win was even a little bit
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: bigger for Citadel. Remember, because I believe Furhman is in
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: their state of South Carolina. But again, I don't think
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: they're gonna overlook East Tennessee. They're the top team in
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the conference in East Tennessee already man handled them at
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the Citadel, beating them seventy four to forty nine. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: when you have a second conference matchup, which is what
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: we have here in the home team in the first
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: matchup lost in a blowout and got totally embarrassed, they
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: will probably try.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: To fix some things to show up focus in the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: next game.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of why I'm staying away from this,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that the Citadel will probably have some things to fix
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: after a game like that. For East Tennessee, they are
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: coming up a game wher. They didn't play that well
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: at Chattanooga, and I was correct about that game.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I told you Chattanooga plus.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: The points was the lean in that when it was
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a third straight road game for East Tennessee, not the
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: easiest spot. Chattanooga got up for them for an in
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: state rivalry game, and East Tennessee barely got through that
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: game with the win. Now they're back at home, So
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I think in a spot like that, it is actually
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a positive when a team who was a favorite almost
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: lost the game. Now they're back at home, I think
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get focus out of them. But one other
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: hesitation with East Tennessee is they have one conference loss
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: and guess who that loss was to. Oh yeah, that
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: would be the team that they play next, Western Carolina.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: So they might actually look ahead to that game because
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: that's the only team in the conference that beat them
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: this year. So that is gonna be a big game
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: for East Tennessee, So potential look ahead there. So those
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: are my concerns with this. I would still lean towards
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: laying the points with East Tennessee, but you can see
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: why I have some concerns with it. They're a seventeen
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: point favorite. The totals also pretty low at one forty
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and a half. If I was gonna play it, I
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: would still lay it, though in that one Middle Tennessee,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: who's in a different conference than that in the Conference
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: USA is a Jacksonville state here, which is in Alabama.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: By the way, Middle Tennessee.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: They're playing a fourth road game in five games, which
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: is not that easy. So I have some hesitations with
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: this because when I first looked at it, I was like, oh,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: we gotta play Middle Tennessee. To mounts back here because
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: they just had a pretty ugly game against Missouri State.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Missouri State took them into double overtime and Middle Tennessee
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: barely got through this game. They were a favorite, although
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: not a huge favorite, of five and a half. That
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: was part of the reason why I fade in Missouri
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: State yesterday as well, by the way, I thought it
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: was a good spot to fade them.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I'm still angry about it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: But Middle Tennessee after a game like that, on the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: one hand, you should think they should bounce back because
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't play well as a favorite, But on the
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: other hand, it was two overtimes, which you could take
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: a lot out of you. They're playing a fourth road
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: game in five games, and their next game is against Liberty,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and that is a huge game because those are the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: two teams atop the conference right now. So there's the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: worry about the look ahead here to Liberty. So those
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: are my concerns with this game here with Middle Tennessee.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville State comes into this game off of a win
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: over Louisiana Tech, which probably will just give them momentum
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: come into this game. They're staying at home, so the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: spot isn't really that bad for Jacksonville State here. You know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: my first instinct was we gotta lean towards Middle Tennessee.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: But I'm, you know, thinking about it more. I'm actually
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: kind of leaning in the opposite direction here. I actually
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: probably lean towards Jacksonville State. And the line looks a
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: little bit crazy as a pick them here, like nobody's
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: gonna watch Jacksonville State with the uglier record, as a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: like gonna pick the winner type of situation here, nobody's
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: really gonna want to do that, But the osmakers are
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: telling you Jacksonville State is not that much worse. So
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I actually would probably wind up leaning towards Jacksonville State
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: in that one, even though my initial instinct was Middle
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Tennessee will bounce back, but there seemed to be a
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: lot of negatives for the spot for Middle Tennessee. All right,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: and then we have SOBS game on Fox here, Ohio
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: State and Michigan not as big a rivalry as it
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: is in football, but still these teams don't like each other.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Michigan number three in the country. Ken Baum I believe
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: has them number one in his rankings. Let me see here, Uh,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: yes he does, Yes, Michigan they're coming up a win
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: over Indiana. It's a fine win Michigan didn't cover. But really,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna fade Michigan here, the reasoning would be
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: that their next two games are both monster games against
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Nebraska and Michigan State. Those are huge games now Michigan
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: because they're playing on Friday.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: They're actually not playing tomorrow.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I know. We have some smaller conferences that go back
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: to back Thursday Friday. We have some doing that today,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: and then the IVY League, I know is pretty notorious
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: for doing Friday Saturday, although they don't have any games today,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I guess. But Michigan won't play tomorrow because they're playing tonight,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: so they're not gonna play again until the middle of
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: the week. But they're playing Nebraska and Michigan State in
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: their next two games. Man, those are monster games, and
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Nebraska is the only team ahead of them in the standings.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Michigan State is right behind them, and of course that's
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: a huge Michigan rivalry as well. So if you're gonna
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: fade Michigan, and I do agree with it, if you're
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: gonna play this game, I think Ohio State is the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: right side you're doing because it's a major look ahead
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: spot man. That's the deal here. Ohio State probably needs
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the game more. And I know need can mean different things,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: like I don't like playing on a team that needs
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: the game if it's like a you know, it's late
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: in the season, like you know, you it's like a
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: must win to get in you know whatever, all that
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: type of thing, because usually that team's gonna be overvalued.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: But obviously Ohio State's not gonna be overvalued in this
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: game when they're playing Michigan, you know what I mean.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: So I think you're probably gonna get an effort out
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: of Ohio State, a full game effort, and that's what
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: you want when you're playing an underdog. So I do agree.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I think that that is what you will get. Ohio
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: State's coming off a win over Minnesota at home, not
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: a big win there, so I think they will show
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: up focus for this one. Now you might have to
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: worry a little bit about Ohio State on the road here.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: They haven't exactly been that good on the road if
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: you'll get their road games this year. They only played
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: one out of conference road game, I think, and it
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: was a loss at pit which is pretty bad. Although
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. I think I actually did I
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: give out Pitt in that game. I thought I think
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I did because I kind of considered it to be
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: a sandwich after Ohio State put up one hundred plus
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: points and they had the big ten opener on deck.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I think I actually gave up Pitt in that game.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: But that wasn't a good game for Ohio State. And
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: then their other road games are all in conference. They
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: only beat Rutgers by seven. They went out to the
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Pacific Coast and beat Oregon by ten. I mean, Oregon's
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: been bad this year, but that's a fine win, I
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: guess given the situation. They lost at Washington and that
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: was it. So this is obviously going to be their
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: most difficult road game so far. But Ohio State does
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: have the ability to hang, I think in this game,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: at least hang within this number. So yes, I agree
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: with SOB. I would lean to Ohio State in this game,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: but I don't have a strong opinion on it. Michigan's
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: down from sixteen to fifteen here, so the number might
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: continue to well, I don't know, because you might be
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: able to wait and get a better number on Ohio State.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe because this gonna be the game that the public
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: is the most interested in, Like if the public wants
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: some basketball action tonight. This is on Fox. It's a
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: big game, it's a big ten game, involves a ranked team.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be the game that probably gets the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: most betting attention. So and Michigan is going to be
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the public side. So you might be able to get
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: a decent number if you play it late on Ohio State.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: But yes, I agree with Ohio State. Generally they're not
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: that bad of a team. Ken bommesam in like the
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: thirty something ranking spot. But Michigan's obviously an elite level
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: team this year. But that is factored into the number.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: That's why they're laying a huge price. Marquette at Butler
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: is the other big conference game today.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: There's this big East.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Game on Fox Sports one. It's you know, I mean,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's not the greatest game. Marquette has not been
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: good this year. Marquette is coming off a crazy game
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: where they beat Providence in overtime. Both teams went into
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the one hundreds. I think both teams like to play
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: fast and they don't play the defense. Probably some a
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: really high scoring game. A lot of times when a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: team does that, they will not have a whole lot
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: of energy left after that. And for Marquette, theyre going
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: to be playing the third road game in four games,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: which isn't great, although at least over the last three
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: games they're kind of staying in the same area. Ish.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: They played in Chicago against DePaul or wherever De Paul
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: is somewhere near Chicago. Then they played in Milwaukee at
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: home against Providence, and now they're going to Indiana to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: play Butler in Indianapolis, but still coming up that crazy,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: fast paced overtime game. I think the spot probably sets
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: up better for Butler. Butler's staying at home. They just
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: beat to Paul only by seven at home, not an
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: impressive win there, and Butler was coming up that nice
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: win Overseaton Hall the game before that, so they're potentially
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: in a little bit of a let down there. Now.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: The warrior with Butler obviously is they have a look
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: ahead spot here potentially to Saint John's next and that
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: is going to be a bigger deal the Marquette because
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Marquette's just not playing well this year, So this game
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: is obviously a stay away from me. Butler is up
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: from seven to seven and a half. It looks like
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: maybe some of the money came in on the Butler's side.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I probably agree with it, but no strong opinion on
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: this game at all. And then ESPN you has a
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: decent MAC game here between Akron and Ohio after they
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: have the uglier game earlier in the day. I think,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: oh no, the other one was on CBS Sports.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: My apologies.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: This game is definitely a lot better though in the
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: games are gonna overlap Akron at Ohio. I mean, these
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: two teams don't like each other, their Ohio rivals. I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: still believe that Akron is the best team in the MAC.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were favored on the road at Miami Ohio.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Ken bum as in like twenty something ranking spots higher
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: than Miami Ohio. But it is what it is. Akron's
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: coming off winning at Buffalo and now they're going to Ohio.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: They got Toledo and Kent State on DAKO. Though I
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: don't really see either team overlooking this game. You know,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Ohio is not that far behind Akron, but it
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: is a second straight road game. I probably see Ohio
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: maybe being a little bit more motivated for this one.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Ohio staying at home as well, and they barely got
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: by Northern Illinois in the last game, which was not
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a good performance from Ohio. Northern Illinois is a pretty
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: weak team, so Ohio may have been looking ahead to
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: this game, Man, but then ended the two game losing streak,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: including an ugly loss to Ball State on the road.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: So Ohio does have some newfound momentum coming into this game,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: so I probably do lead to Ohio getting the points here.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: They're a nine point dog at home here. I could
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: see them making this a battle in this game, So yeah,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I do need to taking the points in that one,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: and then Fox Sports one has a Mountain West game
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: in the late night. The Degenerate Special at ten PM
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: is Utah State at Colorado State. Utah State's falling out
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: of the rankings. They just had an ugly, ugly loss
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: at home against UNLV Man, and I think you Utah
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: State was hungover, man, because they hadn't lost for a while.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: They were undefeated in conference. They hadn't lost for like
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: a month until they lost at Grand Canyon, so I
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: think that had a hangover effect where sometimes you lose
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: the game twice when you have that first loss. So
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: now it might be bounced back time for them going
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: to Colorado State here, but they did already absolutely demolish
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Colorado State in the conference opener, embarrassing them at Utah
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: State one hundred to fifty eight. So I don't know
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: how seriously they're gonna take Colorado State, but at least
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you gotta think they will still be focused though, just
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: because of that result in the last game, losing to
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: UNLV at home.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: That's just awful.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: So I do think you're gonna get a good effort
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: out of Utah State here. Colorado State will show up
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean, they know they're gonna be hosting
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: what is still the best team in this conference, Utah State.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: They know Utah State absolutely embarrassed them the last time
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: they played them. Colorado State is staying in the state
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: of Actually they're staying at home. They played their their
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: in state rival, air Force, which isn't much of a rivalry.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Air Forces really really bad in basketball, and Colorado State
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: got the win over them, a nice tune up game
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: for them basically, so the spot is not bad for
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Colorado State here. But I think if both teams show up,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I do think you'll get the effort out of Utah State,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: they are the better team. I would probably have to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: lay it with Utah State here. They're out from four
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: to four and a half here, just because I think
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: they should focus after they had that just horrible performance
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: in the last game. I think they're gonna come out
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: with some intensity in this one. So those are my
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the college basketball slate today. All right, let's
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: go to hockey. I'm gonna have two hockey plays here, man.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Vegas is at Toronto and Vegas is on a back
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to back. They played at Boston last night and they
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: almost came back and won. The Bruins were winning that
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: game four to nothing going into the third period and
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: then Vague cut it to four to three.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Really close game there.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: And I think the Bruins actually used corporate Salo in
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: net in that game too, so it wasn't Swayman. But
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: now Vegas is on the back to back, they're gonna
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: have Hill back in net for this one. They've been
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: alternating their goal is though, so it probably doesn't really matter.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: But the fact that it's a back to back, having
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: to go from Boston to Toronto, I don't love it, man,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: And they did just beat Toronto back on January fifteenth
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: in Vegas in a crazy overtime game six to five,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: or I think Toronto actually blew the game late.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, man.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Toronto will be more up for this game,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: and the spot I think sets up a little bit
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: better for Toronto. Like Toronto, you know, might be making
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the adjustments and wanting to win this game after losing
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: to this team before. But Toronto didn't play yesterday. Although
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Toronto is coming off a big game themselves against Detroit
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: where they took Detroit to overtime on Wednesday, and they
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: have Colorado on deck, but I don't see them overlooking Vegas,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: a team that just beat them Vegas on the back
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: to back. With travel, I probably would have to lead
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: to Toronto in this one. But I know the money
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't agree with me on this one. There's a strong
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: market read on Vegas in this one. I don't really
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: get it. I don't think it's a good spot for them.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: They're off from minus one ten to minus one twenty
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: on the money line, fifty four percent of the cash
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: on Vegas, eighty three percent of the tickets on Toronto.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I don't That doesn't make sense to me. Like, do
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: you really think the public is coming into that extent
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: on Toronto in a game? It's almost like a pick
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: em price against Vegas. I don't see that being the case.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. Man, it's a stay away from me.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: But I disagree with the market in that one. I
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: think I would slightly lean towards Toronto. Next up is
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: one of my plays, and this is one of these
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: ones where I think I just have to do it.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have a play in the ESPN game Tampa
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Bay at Chicago, and we're going to Yeah, we're gonna
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: do it. We're gonna lay a puck line with the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: road team with Tampa Bay. We're gonna lay in the
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: minds one and a half.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Man, I think we have to do it.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I'm almost never gonna lay a puck line on the road.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: It's really really dangerous to do it. You're gonna need
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: them to win by margin here. But this spot is
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: really really crazy. If you want to find some other
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: way of playing it, like maybe you know Tampa over
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: their team total or something like that. I don't hate
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: that either. Now Tampa's starting a road trip, they've had
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: two days off, and I know sometimes I don't like
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: when a team. I usually don't like when a team
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: has multiple days off and they're on a win streak
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: like Tampa is, so that worries me a little bit.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: But starting a road trip in the fact that it's
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: on ESPN, I think that should keep them focused in
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: this game. And it's only a two game road trip,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: and tomorrow they play Columbus. I just don't see Columbus
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: being a huge game, really, so I think maybe they'll
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: put in the effort on the in the ESPN game,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you know, because it's the TV game. So I think
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Tampa will show up in this game. They're definitely the
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: more rested team here in Chicago. I mean, this is
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: about his as it gets as far as the spot
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: goes for Chicago. They're on a back to back, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: what do they do. Yesterday They went down to Carolina
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: for a single game road trip and they upset Carolina
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: four to three in a shootout.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: That's as crazy as a guess.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: You play them through an overtime period and beat them
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: in a shootout and you were almost minus three hundred
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: underdogs in that game. That's insane. Man in Chicago started
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: off the game with a short handed goal. So yeah,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: there are definitely some reasons why you should say Chicago
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: should not have won this game. Carolina outshot them by nine,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: they out hit them by seven, they won sixty five
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: percent of the face offs, and Chicago got way more
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: heavily penalized, and yet Chicago still won the game. It's
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: a misleading result. Carolina dominated that game statistically, and now
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Chicago's coming off getting that win, and now they're back home.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: This is an awful spot for Chicago, dude, I know, debate,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: like you know, sure, arguably they should still get up
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: for a game against one of the best teams in
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: the NHL, Tampa But they just beat one of the
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: best teams in the NHL in a misleading result yesterday.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: So this is a letdown spot with no rest and
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: travel for Chicago. I hate it for Chicago. So we're
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be on Tampa Bay in this one puck line
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and hopefully they just do it and they just run
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: away with the skate away with the game. Maybe we
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: can get an empty net goal at the end to
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: help us out. Who knows Tampa Bay up for minus
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: two to fifty minus two sixty here eighty six percent
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: of the tickets ninety five percent of the cash on them,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: so it does look like the money is supporting this
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: at least for now. But I think we have to
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: do it. The spot is just it's a crazy spot, dude, Like,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get much worse than this for Chicago, So
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. Tampa Bay the Lightning, all right? Uh,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis at Dallas. This is a SOBS play here.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: If I was gonna play Saint Louis in this one,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I would recommend making your own plus one puck line
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: on this one.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: Lthough I don't know. Did you say you're going money
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: line on this?
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Now the spot sets up as a
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: positive spot for Saint Louis because they've lost both other
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: games on the road trips. I think you're gonna get
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: focused out of them because they want to at least
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: salvage the last game of the road trip. They've lost
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: badly on the road trip so far, by combined eight
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to one score, including losing three to one to Winnipeg
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: in the last game, although at least Winnipeg does have
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Hella buck back and Saint Louis now has two days off,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: so that can help maybe disrupt that losing momentum too.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: So I don't see this being a bad spot for
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis. Now. I'm not gonna play this game, but
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I will say that if Saint Louis wins this game
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: or it's really close, they're gonna be in a Dallas
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: sandwich and a return home spot in the next game tomorrow,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, on a back to back, so I
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna want to fade Saint Louis tomorrow when
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: they come back home and face LA who's actually a
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: better road team too. So I usually don't do this,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: and you know, play the chess game and look ahead,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: but that looks like a spot where LA Is jumping
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: out at me. Is maybe a play there, depending on
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: what happens tonight though, So that's something to keep in mind.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis is gonna be in a bad spot, most
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: likely tomorrow. Now for Dallas, I don't really know if
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I would want to fade Dallas here. Man. They're on
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: a back to back, so yeah, there is that, and
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: they're traveling. They went up to Columbus, but that was
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: an ugly game for them. Man. They lost one to
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: nothing yesterday. They don't have a big game up next.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: They play Saint Louis again to start a road trip. Yes,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: they're playing a third game in four days with traveling
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: between the games. But you, I mean, you just got
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: shut out in your last game, man, so I think
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: you're gonna probably show up with some amount of effort.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: And of course they're switching back to their primary goaltender
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: here Ottinger, so you're you're not getting their backup goalie
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: in this game.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: To Smith, he played in yesterday's game.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna get the better goaltender for Dallas here
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: with Ottinger, and he's better than Saint Louis's goalies.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if I could get there with
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Man. I agree that Saint Louis is probably the correct
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: side in this game to look towards. I'm not going
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to do it. Dallas is down for minus one seventy
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to minus one fifty eight, so it does look like
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: there is reverse line movement against Dallas. The market seems
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to support the Saint Louis side here. Dallas is very
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: public ninety six percent of the tickets and cash on them.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: I'll agree with the Saint Louis side, but this one
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: is not on my card, and again I would probably
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: do it a plus one. Make your own puck line
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: in this one, although if the line keeps dropping, I
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: guess you could grab Saint Louis on the money line,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: but you're losing some value there as well as that
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: line keeps dropping. Philadelphia at Colorado. Philadelphia just played in
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: overtime into overtime in Utah on Wednesday. They're finishing the
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: road trip here, and yeah, they'll want to win the
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: road trip probably, so they'll probably be motivated for that reason.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: They're one on one on the road trip right now,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: but playing a second straight game in elevation of an
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: overtime game is not gonna be that easy, man. And
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be using one of their second string goaltenders
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: here basically or whatever you want to call it, because
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: they've used Arsen for three straight games. Not that I
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: even think he's any good, but Flyers have some goaltending issues, man,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: So that is a concern, even though they should show
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: up with focus for the Colorado Avalanche. But the Avs
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: are staying at home. They've been at home since January eighth,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and they haven't gone anywhere and they've actually had a
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: bad home stand.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: They're three and three on the home stand, and this
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: is the last game on the home stand, so I
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna show up, you know. And I think
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Wedgewood was actually injured their goalie for part of this
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: home stand as well. It looks like he's back. I
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be him or Blackwood. It'll
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: be one of the two of them tonight, probably, but
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: they're coming off another loss in a shootout at home
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: to Anaheim, so I think Colorado might show up focus
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: in this game as well. I think both teams will.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Colorado looks like they're getting some of the money, even
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: though they drop from minus two ninety two to minus
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: two seventy six, eighty six percent of the tickets in
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: ninety six percent of the cash on Colorado. Looks like
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: the money is kind of supporting the Colorado side here.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: I could definitely see the argument for laying the puck
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: line with Colorado. I could also see an argument for
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: going Colorado over their team total here and just playing
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: against Philadelphia's like mess of a goaltending situation there and
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: playing for Colorado to come out with a better offensive
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: performance in this one, So I don't mind Colorado over
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: their team total in that one, but that's I'm staying
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: away from that game. The game does have a high
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: listed total, by the way, in the six and a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: half range, so it is one of the higher totals
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of the day. The Tampa Bay game I talked about
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: is in the six six and a half range as well,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: so hopefully Tampa can get us over that threshold there. Man,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: hopefully Tampa can cover the puck line. Mean, Washington is
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: at Calgary. Washington has lost both games on the road
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: trip so far, fairly ugly to lose to Vancouver. Man,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: the Washington had played Florida and Colorado in the prior
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: to games, though they got pretty much destroyed in both
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: those games. But it's still an ugly loss to lose
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to Vancouver. So I think you're probably gonna get effort
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: at least out of Washington here, although I said that
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: against Vancouver and it still didn't happen. But maybe after
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: that loss, maybe you will get a better effort this time.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Now they do play Edmonton tomorrow, so then maybe a
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: little bit a little bit of a concern there that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Edmonton is going to be the team that you usually
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: are going to focus more on the Calgary. I said
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: more on Calgary. Looks like they should be focused as well, though,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: and they're staying at home.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: The home stand hasn't gone that well so far.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: The one and two on the road trip, they did
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: just or excuse me, one and two on the home stand,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: excuse me, they did just lose two of the Pittsburgh
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Penguins four to one. So Calgary is probably going to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: be in a focused spot here as well, Man, and
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: actually probably the somewhat better spot because they're not having
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: to travel. But if both teams are gonna show up,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: which I think they will, I think the better team
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: does probably win out. Although I know I said that
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: last time. But the money looks like it is supporting
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: the Washington side. I'll probably have to agree with it.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Washington's a minus one forty favorite sixty six percent of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: the money on them for now, at least seventy nine
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Calgary. I don't know if
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: I buy that that's happening, but I know the public
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: does kind of like underdogs just generally like, oh, I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: want you know, I want to pay a little to
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: win a lot, you know what I mean, Like they
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: do like those money line underdogs to some extent, And
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: maybe they're kind of fading Washington just because Washington's been
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: really ugly recently. So I don't know, but the market
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: read does look like it's indicating on Washington. The Devils
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: are at Vancouver here, Devil's Canucks here. New Jersey at Vancouver.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: New Jersey could be in a potential letdown here. Man,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: they just beat Edmonton on the back end of a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: back back. No less, they swept the back to back
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: against Calgary at Edmonton, big win over Edmonton. Man, Now,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: mark Strom should probably be back in that era, I'm
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: assuming unless he's injured or something like that, but he's been.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Kind of their primary goalie recently.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: For New Jersey, they've had two days off, and I'm
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: thinking that two days off might not help them, because
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: when you are coming out of a big win like
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: that against Edmonton, you pulled off the upset or whatever
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: on the road and now you're on a win streak,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: but now you have rest, I don't think the rest
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: helps you, you know, So I think it might be
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a negative for New Jersey, like
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: a sort of delayed letdown spot here where the extra
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: rest might kind of wreck their momentum. Meanwhile, Vancouver, Yeah,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: they're coming off of a big win over Washington. You
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: could argue it's a letdown spot, but Washington hasn't been
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: playing well. They have not been playing well recently Washington,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: and speaking of not playing well, that ended an eleven
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: game losing streak, I believe for Vancouver, and when teams
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: end a last streak like that sometimes it's, like I said,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: with like a team getting their first conference win or whatever,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: it's like you get that monkey off your back and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: you can play a lot looser and play better. So
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: I think the spot is better for Vancouver.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: In this game.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: I think they have ended that losing momentum I would
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: lead towards Vancouver. Here.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: It looks like the money does agree on that one.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: New Jersey's up for minus one forty to minus one
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: forty five, seventy five percent of tickets on them, mid
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the cash coming in on Vancouver.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: I agree with the Vancouver side and that one. You know,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: maybe the slight concern that there's a little bit of
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: a letdown component there for Vancouver, But I have to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: agree with Vancouver in that one. Then we have the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Rangers at San Jose. This is a weird game, and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I believe I disagree with the market on this one.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Van excuse me.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: The Rangers are finishing up a road trip here and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: they've gone one to two on the road trip, so
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: I actually think you're gonna get focus out of the
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Rangers here, man, And of course I always point out
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: they're a better road team than a home team, and
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're one and two on the road trip,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get focus out of them.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: And they haven't played since Tuesdays.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: They have two days off here to break this two
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: game losing strigg that they're on. So I think it's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: a positive spot for the Rangers here. And they're staying
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: in the Pacific time zone, they're staying in California, They're
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: going up to northern California here. But it's a way
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: better spot for them than it is for San Jose.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Look at the spot for San Jose here, man. San
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Jose is returning on from a road trip that they've
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: been on since the fifteenth, so they've been on the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: road for over a week. They went all the way
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: out East. They played Washington, then they had to go
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: back to Detroit for some reason, then down to Florida
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: for the back to back Florida trip there, and.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Now they're coming back home from that. Yeah, they've had
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: two days off.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: But you know what I always say, when a team
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: returns home from a road trip, they can get caught
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: in a bad spot. Man, it could be a distraction.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: You have to get back to home life. You got
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: stuff to do. They're having to adjust time zones again,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: travel cross country from Tampa Bay all the way up
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: to San Jose. That's a long trip, so they got
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: to readjust to the time zone. And it's even worse
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: because they started another road trip in their next game.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Although they get the weekend to stay at home, then
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: they have to go out for Tuesday. They have to
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: go to Vancouver to start a road trip. But they're
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: in a road trip. Sandwich and I talk about how
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: difficult this situation is. I think it makes the road
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: trip return even worse because you have less time to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: get stuff done at home. Although at least for them,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: they have multiple days off on both sides of this
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: single home game here, so at least that helps that
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: situation a little bit where they know they have a
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: couple of days left to do stuff at home after this.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: But I think the spot is pretty bad for San
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Jose here man, So I like the Rangers in this game,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: and the market is completely disagreeing with me on this.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: San Jose up from minus one to fifteen to minus
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: one thirty fifty two percent of the cash on San Jose,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: so the money is coming in on that side, seventy
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: percent of tickets on the Rangers though public Still I
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: guess supporting the Rangers here, at least as an underdog,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: but I agree with like I disagree with the market
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: in this one.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: I lean to the Rangers in this one.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: That's the only way I would play this game is
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Rangers money line. Rangers. Again, there's sixteen eleven and two
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: on the road, so again they're much better on the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: road than at home, even with the recent road struggles.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: San Jose is okay at home as well, thirteen nine
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: and three. That's not terrible, but they don't have a
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: huge home road split like the Rangers do, and the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Rangers are much better on the road. So I like
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: the Rangers in that game. I don't know what the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: market is doing there and my final play of the day,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: I forgot to put the best bets thing up again.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I'm skipping the NBA today, but of course I'm gonna
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: still talk about it. Last play of the day, we're
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be on the Seattle crack and on the money line. Here.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: We're fading the public in this one.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Man. The market read looks good on this one. We
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: have eighty one percent of the tickets on Anaheim, but
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: sixty percent of the cash on Seattle. So I like
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: to see that Seattle is a small favorite here minus
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: one fifteen. So yeah, the osmakers are telling you Anaheim
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: is a slightly better team, but only slightly. As far
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: as the home road splits here, Anaheim, they're below five
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: hundred on the road. They are definitely better at home
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: than on the road. Seattle is if you include the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: overtime loss of Seattle's below five hundred at home as well.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: But I still think they're better at home than on
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: So there are slight home roads splits here in favor
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: of Seattle. But the whole crux of this handicap is
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: this is a major letdown spot for Anaheim. Man, They're
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: on a five game winning streak, but they just won
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: at Colorado on Wednesday in a shootout, huge, huge win
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: for Anaheim man, So I just think they're going to
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: be in a letdown off of that. I wish they
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: had a bigger game up next in Calgary, but they
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: do have.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: It's a back to back Calgary and.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Edmonton Sunday Monday, so they still might consider that to
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: be one big event and be looking ahead to that.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: But I still think at the very least a huge
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: letdowns a lot having to come out of elevation and
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: now go back to the Pacific Coast up to Seattle
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: where it's not really a team that really is going
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: to draw that much of your focus. Although I think
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Seattle actually might have beaten Anaheim the last time they
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: played them. Yeah, they did at Anaheim on December twenty second,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: But again, you don't want to weigh revenge too heavily,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: and I just don't think that that's a huge component here.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: And for Seattle, they did beat the Islanders in the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: last game, which you could argue there might be a
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: little bit of a letdown component to this, but just
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: like I said with Vancouver, I think it breaks their
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: losing momentum. Actually so they had four losses in a row,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: and I know that's not as drastic as Vancouver breaking
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: an eleven game losing streak, but I think Seattle's gonna
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: be focused on this game. Man. Anaheim has been okay
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: this year, Seattle. You know, they are one and one
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: on the home stands so far. Yeah, they beat the Islanders,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: decent win, but I don't know if they're gonna be
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: totally like overconfident.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: About that win, you know what I mean. So I
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: like Seattle. Money seems to agree with it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a major letdown spot for Anaheim
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: and that's what put me over the edge onto Seattle
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: in that one. So that's my other hockey play there.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: And that is the last game on the NHL slate there,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: all right, NBA. The first game up in the NBA
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: is on Amazon Prime and it is Houston at Detroit.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: It's a good game, but Houston kind of got screwed
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: by the schedule makers here because they're playing a back
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: to back, they're playing a third game in four days,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: and they're having to travel from Philadelphia to Detroit. And
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: their last two games were a win over San Antonio
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: and then yesterday we got the win with the Philadelphia side,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: but Philadelphia that was an overtime game, and so Houston
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: did put up an effort in that game and had
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: to go to overtime to do it. Now they have
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: to turn around and travel to Detroit with no time
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: off off an overtime game. It just doesn't set up
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: well for Houston. Man, even if yeah, they should be
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: focused mentally on Detroit, but it's like you might be
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: seeing a pretty tired of Houston team at this point. Man.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: The spot is significantly.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Better for Detroit here because they had their bad game
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: in the last game against New Orleans. We got to
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: win on that with New Orleans covering, although Detroit still
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: won the game, and I think what that will do
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: is continue their momentum. So Detroit had a pretty big
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: win over Boston my Celtics the game before that weird
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: one game road trip to New Orleans. But for Detroit,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: they had the day off yesterday, they're back at home.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: The spot is definitely better for Detroit. So I could
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: only look to the Detroit side. If I was going
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: to play this game, and pregame is not I have
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: to refresh it because it's not behaving for me. I
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: think sometimes the JavaScript must die or something. Pistons are
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: up from three to three and a half year, so
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the money seems to agree with that side, seventy nine
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: percent of the tickets, eighty eight percent of the cash
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: on the Detroit side, and I agree with it. So
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: I agree with the market and that one. I would
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: lay it with the Pistons if I was gonna play it.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Phoenix is at Atlanta. Phoenix coming into this game off
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: of beating Philadelphia, and they're finishing a road trip. They've
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: been on pretty long road trip. They've been on since
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: ten days ago, so long road trip for Phoenix. They're
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: three and two on the road trip right now, so
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: they might not want to fall back to five hundred
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: on the road trip. They've had a couple of days
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: off between Philadelphia and this game now against Atlanta, but
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of days off might hurt their momentum, man,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: And that's what I worry about, Like when you're winning
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: games like this, you might lose steam if you have
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: too many days off. They're playing against Atlanta here. Atlanta
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: did just beat in Memphis on the road on Wednesday.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Memphis was coming back from Europe. Remembers I think it
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: was a pretty bad spot for Memphis and Atlanta barely
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: got by that game, but I believe it was technically
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: a road upset where they I believe they were small
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: underdog yeat, they were very small underdog one and a
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: half one. They won the game by two. Now they're
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: coming back home from that single game road trip here
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: to Phoenix. They don't really have anything upcoming, though, and
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: that win against Memphis broke a four game losing streak,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: so I think that does give Atlanta some momentum coming
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: into this one. So I probably prefer the Hawks in
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: this game. But the money seems to not agree with that.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: The Suns are up from one and a half to
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: three as a road favorite, eighty four percent of the tickets,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the cash on the Suns. I
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: don't agree with the cash percentage actually being ninety nine,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: but it does look like, if you read into it, it
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: looks like the money is at least for now coming
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: in on the Phoenix side. But I would lean against that.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: I kind of lean towards taking it with Atlanta in
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: that game, just the way that it sets up. My
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Boston Celtics are at the Brooklyn Nets here, and this
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: is a game where it almost looks too easy to
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: play the Celtics. They drop from ten to eight and
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: a half here. They're very public, ninety four percent of
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: the tickets, ninety nine percent of the cash is probably
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: not accurate for the Celtics. The fact that they're only
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: an eight and a half point favorite kind of leads
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: me to believe that Celtics might be resting somebody in
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: this game. Let me see, Yeah, Derek White is not playing,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: so that's what's going on here. White is getting a
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: day of rest here for the Celtics, so that's why
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: the line has dropped. I don't know if White just
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: on his own is worth one and a half points though,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: So I don't know about that, even though he is
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: probably the celtics second but best player to Brown right now,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: with Tatum obviously not having played yet this entire season.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. So I kind of went
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: back and forth on this.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if White's out, you know, that might
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of an overreaction in the number,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: but it also kind of indicates because it's rest and
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: it's not an.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Injured it's not an injured injured player. Spot.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it kind of seems like the Celtics are
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: kind of just figuring, Ah, we're gonna, you know, take
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: some rest in a game that should be a little
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: bit of an easier game here, which kind of indicates
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: that the Celtics aren't fully focused.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: On the game.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: But sometimes the backups will come in and get fired
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: up too, So there's a lot of things going on
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: in this game. It is the start of a road
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: trip for the Celtics, though it's only a two game
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: road trip, just tonight and tomorrow night, where they go
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: to Chicago tomorrow. And if they're gonna pay attention to
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: one of these two teams, it's gonna be the Bulls.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the Nets, even though the Bulls
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: haven't been good, but the Nets are easily overlookable man
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: and the Celtics. I believe the Celtics did actually lose
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn once this year though they Yeah, they lost
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: it home to Brooklyn, which was a weird.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Spot because it was a back to back.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: It was, or not a back to back, but it
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: was a home and home with a couple of days
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: in between the two, and yeah, Brooklyn zigzagged the Celtics there.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the Celtics actually lost their most recent game
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: But I still don't know.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: You again, you don't want to factor revenge in too heavily,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if the Celtics are really gonna
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: care about that that much and be like, oh, we're
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: gonna just you know, we're gonna readjust to what happened
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: in that game or whatever. That was too long ago
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: for me to really think that way. Celtics did just
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: beat Indiana on Wednesday, but that's not really a big
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: winner anything for Brooklyn. Ah. No, I apologize man, as
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: my window dude, I don't know's it's not really a Firefox.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: It's like Windows is just I don't know the way
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: the Windows is trying to be like Apple and like
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: automatically adjust the windows size.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I hate that.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Brooklyn. The main reason why I like Brooklyn
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: in this game is because they just lost. It might
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: have been the worst loss all season, man, except for
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: the fact that it was to the Knicks, and the
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Knicks are a good team and the Knicks, We're probably
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: gonna come into that game pissed off because the Knicks
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: hadn't been playing well. But look at the final score
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: in that game. The Knicks just beat Brooklyn one twenty
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: to sixty six in Madison Square Garden. I mean, it
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't get much worse than that. How do you only
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: put up sixty six points in a game? And that's ridiculous.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: So coming off a game like that like that alone,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: has to be leaning towards the Brooklyn side in this game,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: just for that reason alone. And they are staying in
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: New York. I know that was a road game, but
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: it was in New York City.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn is staying in New York City here now they
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: are playing a fourth game in six days, so there
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: is that they've had a little bit of a packed
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: schedule with one of those games being in Chicago. But
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I think I would have to lean towards the Nets
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: plus the points in this game or leave the game alone.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: It's a low total to it two sixteen and a half,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't mean much in the NBA when it's
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: still a lot of points being scored in the NBA
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: just generally, but low total does at least mean that
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: taking the.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: Points it makes a little more sense.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: But again, when you put up sixty six points in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: a game, you lost by fifty four. That's a team
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: you probably want to look to be on in their
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: next game, if you're gonna play the game, correct, Garrett,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: what's up man? Yeah, they lost by fifty four to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. I know the Knicks are, like I think
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: they're the best team in the East. The Knicks, like
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: power ratings will tell you that. But still, I mean,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to get embarrassed like that, So it would
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: be nets or pass for me in that game, and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: it is a pass for me though. Sacramento is playing
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: at Cleveland. Sacramento is starting a road trip off of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: a pretty bad home stand where they lost the last
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: three games of the home stand, although actually they won
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: the home stand, believe it or not.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: They won the.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: First four games, including three massive upsets, and then they've
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: actually been worse since Simonis came back, which makes zero sense.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: They might be easing him back in though, because it
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: looks like he hasn't factored into the stat leader, so.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with that.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: But Sacramento's lost every game except the first game that
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: he came back, and that was the game what we
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: lost on the Wizards on so isn't that just great?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Sacramento's lost three in a row, but now it might
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: be good for them to just forget about that go
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: on the road. They are playing a third game in
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: four days.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: But I talk about this.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: When things aren't going well for you at home and
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: you start a road trip, sometimes that is a good thing.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: You just get out home, go focus on basketball. They
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: should be focused playing the Calves here. The Calves just
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: won on TV against Charlotte, although it wasn't that impressive
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: of a win, but Charlotte has actually been playing well,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, recently. They've actually been like one
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: of the better teams in the NBA over the last
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: month or so, which is hard to believe, but the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: stats bear that out and that's why the oddsmakers are
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: giving Charlotte a lot of respect recently.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: So that was a decent win for Cleveland.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: And now they're coming back home off of that weird
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: single trip, single game trip to Charlotte. They do over
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Orlando on deck tomorrow. They gotta go to Orlando tomorrow,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of a tricky spot for Cleveland. So
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I probably prefer Sacramento in this one. I would lean
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: towards taking the points with the Kings here, they're a
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: big underdog twelve point underdog, seventy six percent of the
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: tickets and only seventy one percent of the cash on
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: the So the Cavs are public with less of the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: money on them for now. So the market seems to
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: agree with the King's side and that one. That is
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: the way I would lean in that game as well.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: The Pelicans are at the Grizzlies here, New Orleans at Memphis.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: New Orleans just played that pretty tough game against Detroit. Man,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: they played reasonably well against Houston and Detroit in their
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: last two games. Now they start a road trip, but
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: they play San Antonio and Oklahoma City after this, So
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: if they're gonna overlook anybody on the road trip, it
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: might be this Memphis team. Man. Memphis hasn't really been
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: playing particularly well, so I don't really love how this
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: sets up for New Orleans. This game is kind of
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: sandwiched in there between these bigger games.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: The game is pretty much over against Detroit.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: It's not like they took Detroit to the limit or anything,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: but they did cover at least for roster. I think
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: New Orleans covered two games in a row for us
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: on the show. So there we go. But yeah, the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: spot's not great for New Orleans here. Now for Memphis,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: they return home from the Europe trip. They're back home,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: and I believe Yeah, John Morant actually came back in
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: the London game against Orlando. I didn't even realize he
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: was coming back, and that would have had me leaning
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: against Memphis a little bit in that game, even though
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: it was a zigzag spot for them.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: But Morant coming back, I think he's.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: A chemistry disruptor, and when a star player comes back
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: like that, usually it shifts the line too much and whatever.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: But luckily I didn't didn't consider that, and I just
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: avoided the game because Memphis did win. And again, then
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: they came back home from Europe, which is a tricky spot,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: and they lost to Atlanta. But now it's a second
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: game back home after a loss. I think they'll show
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: up for this game. They do have Denver on deck,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: which is a little bit of a concern in Houston
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: after that. So my concern with Memphis is that they
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: might be looking ahead. But I lean to Memphis otherwise.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: They're laying six points ninety percent of the tickets ninety
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash on them. They're up from
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: four and a halfter six years, so the money looks
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: like it is agreeing with Memphis in this one as well.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: That's right, Garrett, you're the Carolina guy there. Yes, the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Hornets there, they're playing alright, dirty sock.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: What's up man? Thanks for hanging out all right.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Next up is Indiana at Oklahoma City, and Indiana's still
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: looking for finals revenge. Man, If you remember I gave
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: out Indiana in the first game of the season, I'm
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: pretty sure, because they actually played Oklahoma City the first
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: game of the season. I don't know if I've ever
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: seen that, to be honest, where the finals matchup is
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: also the first game of the next regular season.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: But Indiana almost won that.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: Game if you don't remember, even without haliburt, and they
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: took Oklahoma City I believe it was in Indiana and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Indiana took okay See to double overtime in the game
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: and lost, but covered. I believe it was like a
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: seven and a half point dog or something like that
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: in the game. We got the win with Indiana in
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: that one, and I think people were thinking that was
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: a crazy idea to play Indiana in that one. But
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: I'm crazy, baby, So I think Indiana still will be
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: focused for a game against the I mean, how could
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: you not be focused anyway when it's the best team
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: in the NBA that you're playing against the Thunder. But
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Indiana has even more reason to focus because they still
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: haven't beaten them since getting eliminated in the finals last year.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: Indiana is coming off a game against Boston.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: They are playing a fourth straight road game, which is
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: not that easy, and they've played all pretty difficult opponents
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: on this road trip, and they're having to now travel
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: from the East Coast to Oklahoma City, which still isn't
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: that easy to do.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: But I think they will show up for the game
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: at the very least, and they're used to playing.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: In Oklahoma City because they did last year numerous times
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: in the finals, so more than they usually would.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City is.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Coming off a game against Milwaukee. But the big deal
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: with Oklahoma City here is they're returning home from a
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: road trip, so I think that does make it a
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: negative spot.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: They've been on the road for a week.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: They were on the road since last Thursday, And I
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: talk about it when a team or turns on from
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: a road trip, sometimes they can lack focus. They have
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: to get back to home life. They might not totally
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: pay attention. They play Toronto next. Maybe not a huge
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: look ahead there, but Toronto is at least a winning
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: team right.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Now, unlike Indiana at Oklahoma City.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: You know, they beat Indiana earlier this year, Like I
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: saettle that it was a close game, but they beat them
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: in Indiana, so okay, see probably thinks this will be
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: you know, they'll probably think it'll be an easy game.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: I would imagine the Thunder will. So if I was
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: gonna play this game, I would take the points with
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: the Pacers. But fading the Thunder at home is a
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: little bit dicey because the Thunder do win by margin
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: at home quite often. Like I said, they probably win
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: by about an average of like eighteen points or so
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: at home. The Thunder down from seventeen to sixteen. Here,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of the tickets and ninety four percent
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: of the cash on the Pacers, So the money is
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: agreeing with me on taking the points of the Pacers.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder if there are some injuries at play here
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: as well, because it seems like somebody's.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Always outvroke Gloma City.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's Hart and Steen is still out, and then
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: I guess Caruso is out and he's one of their
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: better defenders.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: So a couple of guys out for okay se.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Although you know they're a deep team though, and you
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: know Pacers is just the usual. Mathron is still out.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: I think he's been out for a while. Topping I
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: think also has been in. Halliburton has missed the whole season.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: So uh, that's what's going on there. Hard to believe
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana is this bad this year. Well, they've had other
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: injuries too though, like they haven't been healthy even like
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: even if you don't factor in Halliburton, they still haven't
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: had the rest of their their players, Like they haven't
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: had a full roster minus Haliburton this entire season though,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: like always, somebody has been out, like they've been missing Mathron,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Halliburton and Mathern and uh uh Topping for a lot
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: of the season, and then Nemhard was out for a
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of it as well.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: Like they just they have not been healthy.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: But they're all a little bit overrated last year as well,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: like that run that they made to the final was
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit misleading, like they were not like the
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: second best team in the NBA or anything, not even close,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: like Indiana would have been an underdog to probably like
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: nine or ten teams like That's why I was very
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: heavy on the Thunder in the finals, and I gave
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: up the Thunder I think twice as play as in
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: the finals. And even though I lost my job, one
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: of the bets that I actually made with money was
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: on OKC to win the finals after they were losing.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: What were they down?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: They were down two to one, I think is what
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: they were down. I think is when I did it,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: when they were down to one, you got a pretty
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: good number. They were still like minus two hundred, but
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: that was a really really good number and that wound
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: up winning for me. So but Indiana was not that
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: good last year, let's just put it that way. They
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: overperformed in the playoffs. They they caught a Cleveland team
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: it was better than them, but Cleveland just had wasted
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: all their energy to the regular season and then got
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: massively injured and couldn't get through them. And then who
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: else did Indiana even beat? I don't They beat the Knicks,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I guess, which was fine, but the Knicks were coming
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: off that monster series against the Celtics when Indiana ran
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: into them. So I think Indiana was not as good
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: as the Knicks. They were not as good as the Celtics,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: but the Celtics of course lost Tatum. I think the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Knicks might have had some injuries as well. The Knicks
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: just weren't a deep roster, so I don't know. And
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: then Indiana, you know, through their playoff run, they got
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: to avoid the entire Western Conference, and the Western Conference
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: was stacked like.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Over in the West last year.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Numerous teams in the West were all better than Indiana
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: last year, like, of course Oklahoma City, Minnesota, probably the Lakers,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: I would even say probably Houston, Golden State, Denver, of course,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I think all those teams would have been favored on
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: a neutral location over Indiana last year. So Denver at
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee is the other Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime's got the doubleheader,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: and when they scheduled this, they probably didn't realize that
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Jokic was gonna be out, so this game looked better
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: than it is now. Denver's coming up beating Washington yesterday,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: but now they're on a back to back, They're playing
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: a third game in four days. That's not that easy
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: to do. Man, So the spot's not great for Denver here.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: They did get by Washington yesterday though, so they'll have
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit of momentum at least from Milwaukee.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: They're staying at home. They didn't play yesterday.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: They return home from a quick road trip and lost
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: to Oklahoma City by twenty. In the return home spot,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta think they will show up because it is
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: still Denver. They they did actually just lose at Denver
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: by four on January eleventh as well, so I probably
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: prefer Milwaukee in this game. They're gonna be laying points though.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: So it's also gonna look weird right that the Bucks
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: are a favorite like this against the Nuggets. But again,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Jokic gets factored big time into the line here, and
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets might actually have other injuries that they're dealing
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: with as well. Right now, let me see.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: What do we have going on here?
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: Uh no, it looks like they are fairly healthy otherwise,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: you know, like the the usual suspects look like they
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: are playing here, Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: So whatever, But Jokich is a big factor.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Man. The Bucks are up from five to six and
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: a half, and of course the Bucks are not as
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: bad as their regular season record might lead you to believe,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: because they do have Giannis back now and he missed
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: a large portion of the season, so the Bucks are
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: more at full strength right now than they have been
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: for some of the season. Fifty tickets, sixty nine percent
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: of the cash on the Bucks. I agree with the Bucks.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: I would lay it.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: If I was going to play it, but I don't
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: really have any interest in doing so. Toronto is at
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: Portland to finish the NBA slate. Here, Toronto's staying on
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Coast. They're already in the middle of a
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: Pacific Coast road trip. Here.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: They're two and one on the trip so far.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: They just won by margin at Sacramento, and now they're
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: playing a third game in four days, fourth game in
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: six days, fifth game and eight days, all in different cities,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: so that's not that easy. And they play Oklahoma City
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: next and the Knicks after that. So there's a possible
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: look ahead component of this year. So I prefer the
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: Trailblazers in this game. And the Trailblazers, by the way,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: they're above five hundred.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: The Blazers have won eleven of their last fourteen games,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: so they've been sneakily been playing good basketball, although they
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: have this dude who I basically had never even heard
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: of until yesterday or whatever IV did. Of Dja. How
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: do you pronounce this? I thought his name was something else.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: I thought it was of g It's of Dija. He's
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: and Israeli and he's basically out there promoting I can't
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get nuked on the show.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: He's promoting the things that Israel is doing out there.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like, give me a break, man.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: You could at least admit that they're doing that, but
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: still say that you like your country or something like that.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: I would have more respect for you if that was
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: your take, right like that, that would be my take
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: as well. Like I'd be like, yeah, I don't like
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: what the US military is doing. They're committing mass murder
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: all over the place, but I like my country, the
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: United States. I like America, you know what I mean?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Like that should be the take. That's that's a good take,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: But that's not what he said. He's like, you have
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: to promote everything that the that the state is doing.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is ridiculous. Screw that guy. So Portland
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: is not on my good side right now. Let's just
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: put it that way. Portland is on a nice run here,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: four wins in a row. They did just get a
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: win over from Miami yesterday though, and they have Boston
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: next starting a road trip which will be a Peacock game.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: So I don't think Portland's in the greatest spot here either.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Although prior to yesterday they had multiple days off. They
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: had three days off before that, so it's not every
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: back to back as equal. The rest isn't gonna be
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: as bad for them because they had a lot of
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: rest before yesterday.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: So I still.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Prefer the Trailblazers in this game, plus the points. But
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: the money's not agreeing with me. Sixty percent of the tickets,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: eighty six percent of the cash on the Raptors. They're
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: up from two and a half to three here, so
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: the money is on Toronto for what that's worth.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: I somewhat disagree with that, but that's gonna do it.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Man. I'm being a little bit selective today. I say
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: that a lot. But yes, yes, oh yes, college basketball,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: yes correct, yeah, I have to do it the Saturday
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: college basketball slave. Thank you for reminding me Tyson. Yes,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: that is correct. I will be back tonight to do
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: the huge college basket. Well, actually last week I did
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: it early in the morning. I don't know, man, it
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: depends how I'm feeling. I have to start handicapping it
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: earlier in the night. That's what I have to do,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: because it is I don't like to start. Like dude,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: I start the handicapping at like ten and that it
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: takes me like an almost two hours to hand handicap everything,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: which is actually quick to handicap every single game, but
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: I use my shortcuts. I look for situations mostly. Then
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: it's like a two two and a half hour show
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: on top of that ending at like three four in
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: the morning. I don't want to do that. So like
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: if I could started earlier at night, then I will
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: do it tonight. So maybe that's the way that I
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: have to do it. Uh. You like Caleb Love Yeah,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: I mean he's I don't know, he's kind of on
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: my bad side just because he he takes too many
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: bad shots. Man, Like when he was in college, I
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: was getting really frustrated, Like I got frustrated making plays
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: on his teams. I know you like him because he
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: went to North Carolina. The thing I like about him
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: is he exposed Hunter Dickinson for being a dick, which
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: we already knew. But Dickinson had that real cheap shot
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: where he like stepped on Love when Love was already
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: on the floor, when Dickinson was on Michigan and Caleb
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: Love was on on North Carolina. If you remember that
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: and then Dickinson, people don't remember that. Everybody only remembers
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: like the most recent thing where Dickinson, of course then
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: wound up on Kansas and Caleb Love wound up on Arizona.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but yeah, Caleb Love, I mean he could
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: definitely he can hit some shots, dude.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: He he was on my good side.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: There was one There was one game where I think
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: he hit like a half court shot at the buzzer
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: to cover a game from me, like last year maybe
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: or something with Arizona. Do you remember that game? Whatever
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: game that was, that half court shot that he hit
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: gave me, gave me a win on one of my plays.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: So I liked him for that as well. Maybe he's
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: not on my bad side then.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: Pinzy, I think, yeah, yeah, Ice is gonna show up.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know these NBA players, they can get away
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: with that mantle. He's probably legally in the country. Yeah,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be associated with.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo. Yeah you do remember that.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget what game that was, but I'm pretty
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: sure it was for Arizona. It was last year or
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: two years ago, and whatever it was, it covered the
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: number of me. Whatever it was, I'm pretty sure I'd
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: have to go back and find that game though. All right,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: that's gonna do it our selectivity tonight. We have one
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: college basketball play, which is Wagner plus the points. I
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: think you'll be able to get about nine on this game.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: And then we have the two hockey plays, which are
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: getting a little bit risky with laying a puck line
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: on the road with Tiampa, babe, And I'm only gonna
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: do that if I think the spot is really really
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: horrific and there's a really big gap between the two teams.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's the case there, So we're gonna do
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: it with the lightning. And then we're also on the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: Seattle Kraken on the money line there fading another let fading,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: the two biggest letdown spots in the NHL.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: That's the name of the game, and.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing, and the market seems to agree
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: with those. It's hard to read what the market is
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: doing on the on the Wagner game. But that's gonna
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: do it, man, Learn it tone on Twitter, learn a
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: tone on Instagram.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it, guys. Thanks for hanging out again.
