  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's your favorite time
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of week. You get to download the crazy sheet and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: get you to talk to Scotty and Mark about some
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: college football. I'm Mark. I'm here in the podcasting studio.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: My man Scotty is out on the road. Brother, how
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the hell are you?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Man, good. Just settling into college football. We had some
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: good games last week. My Bulldogs are actually a football team. Hell,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to think.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I went oppo on you last week, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I took the dogs as I got closer to that spot.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You got a special player, quarterback. I don't think nobody
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in the country knows about him yet, but Super Camario,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of digging this kid.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Man, he's good. He is a great athlete. I'll say this.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: He looks the part. That kid is a specimen, and, man,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: he can throw the football. It was amazing. The speed
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: difference in that ballgame, was gigantic. I mean, they just
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: simply did not have the speed to keep up with us.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Was surprised they couldn't get the ball in the end
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: zone a little more. They drove the football pretty well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but just never could get in the end zone. I mean,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: it was, you know, that bend don't break was pretty good.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Arnett is a gigantic improvement on that defense. And that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: is obviously helping Jeff Levy significantly. So it's going to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: be interesting. Boy, that game in Austin. Woo, buddy. What's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: your takeaway there? You know, first is I think both
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: those teams were more flawed than I thought they were
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: watching them. I think this game could really catapult Texas.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: A come from behind like that kind of gives you swagger. Because,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you know, look, that was a freak interception from Cam
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Coleman's pass. And that's a gigantic, he hauls that in.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And man, they're set up and they're going to have
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a lead. I mean, that's a totally different ballgame. Instead,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it's an interception that's going the other way. I mean,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that was a freaky play that they were able to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: overcome it, I think says a lot about the makeup
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of this team. I don't think everybody is going to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: talk about And I think there are a couple of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: key plays that are important. You know, that's why Ryan
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Day gets criticized not being able to close games like that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I will say two things. First, Julian saying when he
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: threw it to Smith, when they missed the field goal
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, on that third down play, he's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: got the out route and they've got a linebacker. They
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: ran a double move with Smith and he chose to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: make the tougher throw He takes that out route, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I think he could have gotten that ball completed pretty easy. Man,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we're talking a different outcome because another first down makes
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that kick significantly cleaner. But I also don't want to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: leave out everybody's talking about, oh, you make that field
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: goal you win. How about you make the field goal
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: when you're up 13-3 instead of going for it on
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: fourth and two at your 10 and decide to run it?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that to me was the most questionable call
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: they made all day. So I think that because that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: field goal is a whole heck of a lot easier
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to make when it's a 27-yarder and you've got all
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the momentum and the crowd's quiet. than a, what, 45,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: 48-yard or whatever it was with eight minutes left. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: everybody knows if you make this, the game's probably over with, what,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: four minutes left in the game or whatever it was.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So I think that is a play a lot of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: people got off the hook that I think had a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: big impact on that football game. He was trying to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: go for the jugular when he should have just kept
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: taking body blows. So that was my thoughts on that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Alabama came out. Holy. and looked good in the second
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: half after looking atrocious in the first half. Clearly, they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: got read the right act. And how about Oregon? Yikes.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That was ugly. And, I mean, Mark, most people weren't
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: watching that game because there were other good games on.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You got Oklahoma, Michigan going on, all of that. Most
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: people weren't watching that game. Their first touchdown was basically
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a 100-yard pick-six game. Their second touchdown was a gift.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They had about a five-yard drive because a batted ball
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: got intercepted. They had two interceptions. One of them, while
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they were going in to score on them again, Oklahoma
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: State dominated their ass. I mean, that game was not
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: as close as the score indicated. I mean, they drilled them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I agree with you. I think that team,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: if you're Oregon– I think you really got to go
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: back to the drawing board. I'm not in the land
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: 50-some-odd points, but I can't imagine they don't just absolutely
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: run roughshod through Portland State this week. Because Portland State's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: not very good to begin with. But I think you've
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got to do some reckoning there. Because you've heard about
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all that defensive line and how much they spent to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: keep it. But you lost a couple of those guys
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: left and went to other teams. And you've got to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: wonder if there was a depth issue there. I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore– I mean, I hope he's getting paid well,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure he is, because he cost himself draft
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: picks by coming back because he does not look good whatsoever. Yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked. That was probably my biggest takeaway of that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, look at a couple of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: teams I want to point out. Georgia, you know, start
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the season, everybody's like, Kirby doesn't cover these big lines.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Georgia's coming out and just pounding people. I mean, physically pounding.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: People, which– They look like the best team in the country.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with you. LSU started really shaky
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: with three interceptions in the first half and then turned
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the gas on. Sam Leavitt doing Sam Leavitt things. Texas
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: A & M, you know, hanging around. Arizona State hanging around,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hanging around. I had some good takeaways from both of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: those teams in that spot there. Oklahoma and Michigan, boy,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: John Mateer. He may look good dressed up in his underwear. But, damn,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: he cannot throw a pass, forward pass that's worth a shit.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Man, he can't. He needs the guys to be open.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had guys open. He was throwing the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: ball high, throwing it behind people. I mean, that pick
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: was ugly. I mean, that pick is probably two feet
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: behind that wide receiver. I mean, that's a terrible throw.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And in that situation, you just simply can't. do it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: uh was stunned they did not i mean you kept
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: hearing the announcer saying you got to take advantage of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the tight end matchup and it's like matier would give
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: him a half a second if he wasn't instantly open
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: he moves on to the next guy and every play
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: after his move it would take him about a second
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and a half and he'd be breaking open and matier's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: already moved on to somebody else and gonna throw it
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: into coverage uh i'll tell you what i'd also see
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: their wide receivers don't have that just giddy up. They
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: couldn't get open.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The only person who can is Satania. He's the only
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: one that can get open.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And he couldn't get open the other day. I mean,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: he's pretty light. I mean, they were getting him off
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: his routes. I thought the Michigan defense did a great job.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: That defense is nasty. Underwood is a different player. Kudos
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to that kid for answering the bell, coming out and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: playing probably his best game. but he's better when he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: runs the football. If the freshman running back, if you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: want to know for every For every college fan that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wants to know why the big-time recruit running back doesn't play,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: it's two things. They can't pass block, and they can't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: run read options. I mean, if that kid doesn't keep
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that football a couple of times where he's just basically
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: taking it for Underwood, he'd have run for days. They
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: ended up having to punt one time, and Underwood would
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: have gotten 15 yards. The whole defense went with the back,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and he took the ball, and you could see Underwood
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: wanted the football back. It's just brutal, just brutal. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: No, I watched that in real time, and I was like, well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in real time, I was like, why did he give
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: him the ball? And then when they slowed it down,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you could see, like, as he took the ball, he's like, what?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It's like, because he saw the hole right there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He was about to bust that thing wide open.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's why freshmen don't play even though they're
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: super talented. There's some parts to the game that you've
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: got to pick up or it hurts your football team.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: It's not just talent.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So one thing I thought that was interesting in that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: game was, you know, week one, watching Michigan against that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Western Michigan team, I felt like they were trying to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: cram Underwood into an offensive system that he wasn't– didn't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: fit in. And then they came back last week, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it looked more like the Utah offense with Devin Dampier.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It's like, make a look. If it's not covered, go.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw this or not,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but Brian Kelly was on the– he was on the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: pregame show, and he was talking about Underwood. He goes,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I know this kid well. He goes, we recruited him
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for two years. He goes, he's a phenomenal athlete. He goes,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he's a one-read quarterback right now. It is, look, if
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it's not there, then he needs to go or check
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out– it's like, He goes, he can't come across the–
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't being tacky about the guy. He was
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: just saying this is his strength. Play to it. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of those kids in college football. You
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: can have a one-league quarterback in college and do really
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: well as long as you build an offense to predicate
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: around that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. So, fun week
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: last week. Won a few more games. Almost got her
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: upset special, dead gummit. South Alabama couldn't quite close, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: they were there for us. It was a good pick.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Tulane just figured out a way to win the game.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Tulane is not very good.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Tulane is not very good.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Scotty week three, good Lord of Friday. You got all
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kinds of good things going on here. Obviously we're going
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to jump into that. This is the one that I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: think people in the South, people from Mississippi have just
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: been waiting for, which will be the lane train pulling
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: back into town. You got lane talking about, he's worried
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: about his personal safety might need the national guard coming
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in there. I mean, This is going to be like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: when they– I mean, Lane talking about like they're about
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to desegregate the school again. You know, you've got to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: send the National Guard from Jackson in to come save
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: his ass, except I don't know that they will. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: now you– I don't know if you saw this or not,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: but Ole Miss served Prince whatever the– I can't pronounce
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: his last name, but the defensive end. They served him
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: yesterday in the parking lot a civil lawsuit for breaking
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a contract on him.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: No, the week of the game. Oh, that's fabulous.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fabulous.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I did not see that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: The days of our live soap opera that is college football.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: We can be the rebels going full petty there. That's awesome.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: They served him coming out of practice in the parking
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: lot with a, uh, A civil lawsuit of breaking his
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: contract with the school. I thought that was fantastic.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. That is hilarious.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Let's jump into it, Scott. Got a couple of games
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Friday night. Dive into Saturday. All kinds of awesome there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We've got three games Friday night. You've got Miami, Wake Forest. Actually,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we've got a Thursday night game here, Scott. First one
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I want to get to, Syracuse and Pittsburgh. How about
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: my Cow Bears last week? Coming back to beat Syracuse
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on the road, traveling across the country to get the win.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Playing Nard Dog here. I don't know that I'm going
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to get involved. I used to love Thursday night unders.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I will say one thing. I looked this morning and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: tempo across the board in college football is down. Teams
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: are not pressing this as much as they used to.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And so you got to wonder if we're going to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: get a chance for some first half unders in there.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Obviously anything that requires five scores, I typically get involved with.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't have a play in this pit minus 10
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and a half against Syracuse Thursday plan on watching it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've got anything on that one
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: or not.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I, you know, I, I, Felt like
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the Cuse was going to play well last week. They
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: did play pretty well, but you're right. Cal was able
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to get it done on the road, so that'll be
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a fun game to watch.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: First one I really like here, Scott, Friday night is
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Miami laying 20-and-a-half, if you can get it, against Wake Forest.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Wake Forest went into overtime, double overtime last week to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: actually pull that game off against Purdue. Good win for them.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Traveling back across the country, short week. Because, again, they
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten in until late, late Saturday night, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: then you've got a big game ready to host Miami
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: coming in. Miami, absolutely. They played Friday night, too, so
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it's not a short week for them. They beat FAMU 77-0.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: If you've watched Miami play yet, you know everything kind
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of runs front to back from Malachi Toney on that offense.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But I think this Miami team has just got it
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: going on here. Laying 21, I like this as a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: road game. I'm going to take the Hurricanes. Laying 21
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is my first guess.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the Canes here as well. I think, uh,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Miami just looks like, looks like they're on the movements
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: is a great fit. Uh, one of the better quarterbacks
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: in the country and obviously got some weapons. So this
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: is going to be, uh, this is going to be
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a tough game for Wake Forest.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Next game.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I want to go to Scotty Friday night, big game
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: on Fox, Texas tech will be hosting university of Houston.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Tech is breaking out. They're all new, all black uniforms line.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Here's right at seven and a half. Uh, Line preseason
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: on this, the week ago look-ahead line was closer to 13.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Both of these teams have a common opponent in Oregon State.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The reason I bring that up is not to compare
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: them against each other. I think Oregon State may be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: better than we thought they were. I mean, I've kind
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: of been impressed with that team so far, and I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was expecting them to be hot garbage. But looking at.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: This game here. They've got two losses, but they played
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: both those teams pretty well. Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Looking at these teams here, man, you've got Texas Tech
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: at home. This Texas Tech team, I don't know who's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: found itself yet. And so Hammond, the quarterback, two touchdowns,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: one interception on the season. They're still kind of struggling
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to figure out who they are offensively. But the other
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: thing you've noticed with Texas Tech this year is they
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: don't have the man-eating defensive line that they had last year.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And so in both of the games that they've played,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they were very content to sit back and rush three
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to four, did not blitz. They have blitzed on 9%
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of snaps so far this season. And I kind of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: wonder if that's coaching holding stuff back, not wanting to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: put it on tape and wait until they get into
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: conference play. Because Tech knows what they're up against here.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: They know they've got a couple of games that they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: have to win to get a chance to play for
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the Big 12 championship and hopefully secure a ticket to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: go play in the CFP playoffs. And then you got
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Houston here, one of my favorite coaches in Willie Fritz.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: If this line hadn't moved and it was still with
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the plus 10 and a half, plus 13 that we
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: were looking at, the look at line, I would be
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: all over Houston in this one. Seven and a half
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: might sit and wait. If it goes under seven, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: might even take Texas Tech in this one. But I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: think Houston's going to give them all they want out
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: there in Lubbock Friday night.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I do too. I just think it's, you know, I
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: think part of it is Hammond's just not fully healthy.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, that injury didn't, he's not even outside of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a year from surgery. So I still think that's a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: leg they're having to be careful with. Let me say
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: it like that. And I think that, I think that's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: going to show on Friday night. I do expect, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: do expect the Cougars to cover, but I think it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: going to be a great game and certainly a great environment.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Next one I like, Scotty, Arkansas hosting Georgia. This is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: an interesting spot. Arkansas played that late game in Salt
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Lake at Rice Eccles. Just got manhandled in that game,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: by the way. Started out a little bit and just
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: couldn't keep up. Now they've got to come home to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: play Georgia. Arkansas didn't get home until Sunday. They actually
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: stayed the night in Salt Lake City Saturday night, flew
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: home Sunday. And so you've got a weird travel schedule
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: for them. Georgia's coming in here. Line here is 24
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and a half. I'm laying it. I think Smithfield's– the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: coach at Arkansas is the one that made the snide
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: remark about Georgia football last year when he was still
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: at Memphis. You know, players getting arrested, blah, blah, blah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think Kirby Smart is in it this year. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: think he's letting everybody else get talked about, all the media, Lane,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, all the stuff, Texas, Arch. And it's real
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: quiet in Athens. And they are pounding people. I think
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they are going to crush Arkansas Saturday morning at home.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is going to look a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: lot like the Notre Dame-Arkansas game did last year in Vietnam.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Give me the hogs, baby. I mean, give me the dogs, baby.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I love Georgia right here.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I think Georgia's playing like the best team in the country.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've said that multiple times. I knew that
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: they were going to be one of the best teams
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: in the country, and they looked the part. Gunnar Stockton's
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: just playing really, really good football. I do not think
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Arkansas is going to be able to keep up. Honestly,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: it's going to be how bad does Kirby want to
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: win this game? You're right. Silverfield making the comment about
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Georgia is probably stuck in his draw. Even though that
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: was last year in a different team, Coach is the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: same dude. He's getting a chance to take a shot
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: at him. I got a feeling Kirby will take it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I think Georgia wins this and wins it big.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Ooh, I'm with you here. I want another game with
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that 11 o'clock slot that I'm kind of interested in
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: your opinion on. K-State at home hosting Tulane. I'm not
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed with Tulane yet. And this Kansas State team last week,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I was impressed with. I think Colin Klein's kind of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: figured out what he's got with Avery Johnson. And I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: think Avery's going to keep taking some shots. I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we've got to keep our eye on this year's K-State team.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's got the right coach and the right
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: leader in this one for Avery Johnson's fit. And Klein
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: knows what to do because he was him years ago.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And so I haven't decided if I'm going to lay
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: 21 here, but I'm interested in this game. I think
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Kansas State is going to do some things.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think K-State will be– this will be an
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: interesting game. This is not this. I may not get
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: involved in this game, but definitely going to watch this game.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I think K-State, as you said, is better than I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: than I thought they were going to be. Klein looks
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: like he's off to a good start. Avery Johnson looks comfortable,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: which is which he has not looked comfortable. And really,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: he didn't look comfortable all of last season. And even
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: starting when they played in Dublin early in the season.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So I think he's back comfortable playing the player that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we expected to have even last year. So this is
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: going to be an interesting game. I just don't think
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Tulane is very good. They are riding the previous two
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: or three, four years' success. I think people have not
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: caught on yet that this is a more traditional Tulane team.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that. I'm not going to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: play it, but I like what we've got going into
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that one. But the one game I will get involved
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: in at 11 o'clock, Bill Belichick traveling to Clemson to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: play The old Dabo. Dabo, if you didn't watch this
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: game last week, lost the quarterback, Visnia, with an injury.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Had to bring in the freshman kid. And freshman kid
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: did not look like he was ready for big-time football,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in my personal opinion. And then Dabo doubled down on that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that in the postgame.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But came out and said, you know, well, it wasn't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: just the injury. We probably needed to make a change here.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: So he's already kind of yanked the confidence level away
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: from his senior quarterback that's been sitting on the bench
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: for the last several years to roll in with this freshman.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: So we're going to get a freshman starting at home.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's about to get real pear-shaped in Clemson.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to lose the crowd. There's a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: ton of tickets that are left for this game Saturday morning,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: which Clemson has been sold out since Dabo started rolling
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: this thing. And so we're going to get a true
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: freshman quarterback that's going to have to start a game
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: against a Bill Belichick scheme defense. How do you think
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that's going to work out? Give me the three points.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Give me the three and a half in North Carolina.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Let's get some money line going here, baby. I love
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Chapel Bill right here in this spot.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I think the defense is
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: going to be the difference here. You know, Clemson has
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: some skills still on the outside, but can they get
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: them the football? That's that is the question. And I
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: think this defense was significant, significantly improved when we watched
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: them even in Dublin. That's continuing as as we progress.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I expect Belichick to give them all they want and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: are a live dog this weekend. Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Anything in Arizona State, Kansas? That's the other 11 o'clock
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: game of note.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like Arizona State's going to win
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that game and cover that number. I was not impressed
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: with Kansas last week. Mizzou took it to their ass.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And I was impressed in a pretty heavy loss in
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a cover for the Aggies. I thought Arizona State looked
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: pretty good, especially early in the football game. Now, they
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: have trouble throwing the ball down the field. And that
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: A & M defense gave them problems, but I was
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: underwhelmed with Kansas. So I think you're probably looking at
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Arizona State in this game.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: A couple games in the 230 slot. You got Kentucky
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: traveling down to College Station. It's going to be another
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: hot game there. A & M' s laying 16-and-a-half over under,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and this one's 49-and-a-half. First glance at this, if you
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: really start digging into this game with Kentucky, Kentucky had
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to play Alabama last week. Great play. great game day
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: environment in Kentucky. I mean, stadium was sold out. They
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: were hyped, ready to rock and roll. And Bama came
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in and just absolutely wore them out as the game
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: went on in that one. It just became evident that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Kentucky didn't have the dogs to get it done there.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: The other thing is, is I think that Kentucky's trying
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to hide the quarterback, Minchie. If you go dig into
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: his analytics on his passing, he's 14 for 14 on
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage this season. He's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: 50% on passes thrown past the line of.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Scrimmage this season.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: My point is the Aggie defense is not one that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you're going to make success on going side to side.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You've got to go down field on these guys. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he's going to be able to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: do that. I don't necessarily know that I want to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: lay 16 and a half with Marcel Reed, but I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: would lean in that direction. If I could get something lower,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I haven't been a college teaser in a long time,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but if I can get something, it wouldn't get you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to a key number, but If I had a little
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: more confidence in Marcel Reed, I would probably lay it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: here just because I like that defense so much. But
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that's my two cents worth. I don't know where you're
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: at there.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I think the Aggies are going to crush these guys.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I think they'll cover the number. If you tease it down,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I think you're definitely going to cover it. I just
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: don't think Kentucky's got the horses. I mean, I don't.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It is. Unless you are bringing a ton of guys
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: with you when you take over a job, it is
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: hard to build a roster year one. We watched it
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: with Jeff Levy. I think you're going to see it
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: with Will Stein this year. It's hard to build a really,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: really competitive roster your first year unless you're bringing players
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: with you. So I just think that's what he's struggling with.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And I don't think they got the horsepower to keep
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: up with the Aggies.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Staying in that same slot, Scott, we've got a revenge game.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Alabama's laying 19-and-a-half over under. Here's 48-and-a-half playing Florida State.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: If you don't remember this, last year Bama opened up
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in Tallahassee and really embarrassed themselves in that first game
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and had to dig out of that for most of
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the season before they finally got to the college football playoff.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: You look at this game here, I think, Keelan, this
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is an interesting game to me. You've got a big
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: number in 19-and-a-half. Florida State's quarterback situation is awful. He
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: holds the ball. I think I read this morning he
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: holds it for almost four seconds. He's at 3.8 seconds
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: before release. That's the longest release time of any quarterback
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in the country. But on the flip side of that,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't been overwhelmed with Keelan Russell either. And so
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to lay a big
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: number here, but I could definitely see Alabama wanting to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: get retribution from last year's embarrassment, especially at home. And
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it's about to get real hot. in Norvell's chair if
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: it's not already on fire at this point. Because I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: pretty sure they've already fired the athletic director. They fired
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: him on Tuesday or Monday or Tuesday this week. And
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I got to imagine coming up here in a week
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: where you've got that bye week that Norvell may be–
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he may be moving out of town too.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's entirely possible. I know this, that they– when
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: you lose home football games and you get four turnovers–
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: from your opponent and you don't turn it over and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you still lose, you're not very good. And I think
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that's the data point we have from FSU. And look,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I thought Look, you're going to see Bama's quarterback just
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: get better every week. I mean, because he's a super
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: talented kid. That kid is a great athlete. He's got
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: a good arm. What I do like that he's doing
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: is he's trying to find his playmakers. I mean, is
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he locking in on some guys 100%? But throw it
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: to your dudes. This isn't complicated. Go let your dudes
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: be a dude, and he's doing that. That freshman running
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: back's really good for Bama. He'll obviously, the sophomore's a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: good back as well. So I think Bama wins this game.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I think they probably cover as well. But as you said,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: are we going to get the first half Alabama we
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: got last week? If we do, that may not cover
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: this big number.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I'll get involved with it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Maybe I'll end up with my first college teaser.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Give me some bailing. Give me some ID that I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten there yet. SC traveling to Piscataway, possibly the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: furthest you can travel this year, I think. I would
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: lay the team total with SC anything under– if you
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: can get anything under 42, I think you could. I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: might lay it there. I don't know if I want
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to lay on that defense, but it's playing better than
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: they have been. But Rutgers is just a disaster. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: so you're only– if this game started at 11 a.m.,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I might take Rutgers in the first half. But with
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it starting at 230, I kind of think that Lincoln
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Riley is going to get the monkey off his back
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and win an East Coast game here. But that's my
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: two cents.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: He doesn't win this. He ain't ever going to get
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: it off his back.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: He doesn't win this.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He's done.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: It covers this. Another 230 game I got. You got
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of great games at 230. SMU traveling to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Louisville in this one here. SMU is 2-0. Louisville's 1-1. Obviously,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the game most people got to see was them playing
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss to open up the season. Louisville's laying 1-1
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: at home. Over under here is 59-1. They're suggesting that
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to get a little bit more of a shootout.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: You got to play here.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Louisville, minus 1-1. I just think they're
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a good football team. I think the home field's going
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: to be the difference. And I think they beat a
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: good SMU football.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I do, too. I like Louisville here. I like the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: coaching advantage I think you're going to get with Braum
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: being at home. I also think Lincoln Kienholz, he's a
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: dog a little bit. And he's their leading rusher currently.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And so I like what you're going to get from them.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about it. Jennings is fun, too. But
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Jennings isn't really a running quarterback as much as he
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: is more of a if the play breaks down, scramble
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: type of situation. Give me Louisville, minus one and a half.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Let's get that one on the board, Scotty. Uh, moving
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: on now, we've got a couple more here, Indiana, Western Kentucky,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to lay 44 and a half with Cignetti.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not, but I will tell you this probably in
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: the bad bet. They've got to hang a big number.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: This is, this is our test deal. And you got
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Georgia who's just beat the dog out of these guys
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. And here we, here comes Indiana.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Indiana's got to hang a big number. You know, or
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you start sliding into poles. And I know it's a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: long season, but these guys don't have the hard schedule
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: that some of these teams have got. They got to
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: win these games. They got to win them big. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: especially when you got another national title contender, national seed contender,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: that's already that you're going to have a common opponent with.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: You better beat the brakes off of them.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I agree with you. I'll tell you, things
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: have changed, Scott. The get-in ticket price for the Indiana-Western
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Kentucky game is $ 73 on the aftermarket. The get-in price
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: for the Clemson-North Carolina game is $ 29. Wow. You'd think
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the fans at Clemson are just a little worn out
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: of Old Devo at this point. And it's like, well,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: maybe we won't get up and go out to the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: game there. Wow. Same slot, 3 o'clock, Stanford playing Duke
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in the Nerd Bowl. Duke's 2-0, Stanford's 1-1. Both of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: these teams are much better than I thought they were
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: going to be. I'm tempted to take Stanford getting 9.5.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to dig more into this one,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: but Manny Diaz, dude, you've told me about this for years.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: That guy is a fucking wizard of a coach, I think.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to move on to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: a bigger position than Duke, but God, he does good
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: things for me. I mean, just he gets it done.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: He's doing a good job of Duke. That's no question
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: about that. I mean, he has got him back after
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: really getting, you know, getting rated, especially losing Mensa, you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and coming back and just putting another team together. He's
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: done a nice job with it, and obviously the defensive
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: side of the ball helps him a ton.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Uh, Baylor law tech lines, 19 and a half. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: bet law tech takes a lot of steam in this one,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: just because everybody's just going to know what the score
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was last week in that, uh, LSU game. Keep in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: mind law tech benefited from three first half interceptions in
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And so they couldn't do a whole lot with it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Baylor.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming lagway is going to come back at quarterback,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: but Baylor did lose probably their best defensive tackle last
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: week to a broken leg. So that's going to hurt him.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not into laying 20 points with Baylor to cover
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: against La Tech. If the steam hits that thing, I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: might come back. If La Tech gets involved, I might
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: find Baylor. If I get him under 17, not there yet.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Game I'm interested in, Scott, give me the road dog, baby.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Super Camario headed up there to Columbia to play in
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. South Carolina is laying four here over under
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: 58 and a half. I've watched both these teams play
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: every game so far, and I can tell you this much, man.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, I don't know what they're doing. Here's my
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: opinion on this. I'm interested to hear if you think
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Lenore Sellers, his first year that came out,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: no one knew what we had, and they let that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: kid be an athlete. He did a lot of outside-the-pocket stuff,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: used his legs, everything else. Year two, offensive line wasn't
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: as good. He wasn't as.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Good, all right?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: You've still got Nick Harper out there at wide receiver
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that makes the freak list every year. But he hasn't
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: really done much. And I just don't know where we're
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: going to go with this. I like Mississippi State getting
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: four here. I think the defense is going to scheme
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: up something that's going to not let Lenora Sellers beat them.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to try to make that kid
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: beat him with his arm. I don't know if he
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: can do it. And on the flip side of that,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State, I think getting that road win for them
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: last week– and I know this is back-to-back road games,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: not my favorite– But I think getting that road win
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: is a big deal for this team. You've got to realize, like,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of confidence here, learning to win, learning to win.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this. I know they're your squad, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I even saw it last year. This team was better
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: than their record last year. We kind of thought this
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: team would be better than their record this year. I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: think this is a chance for them to start the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: season 3-0. I think they're a live dog. Give me
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the Bulldogs.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I think they're a live dog. The interesting matchup here
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to me is Kendall Briles and Jeff Lebby, brother-in-laws. You know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: that is an inside, a game inside the game, I
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: guess I should say, that is really unique. Obviously, Browse
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: understands this offense and what Levy's trying to do very intricately.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And I do think that helps South Carolina. South Carolina,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I think, is going to rely on their defense a lot,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: but State can score. I mean, that really is the
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: bottom line. But at the end of the day, When
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: State doesn't give up 21 points, they win football games.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the bottom line. I mean, Levy's going
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to score some points. He scores on pretty much everybody.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: And with Taylor, I think it's just that much easier
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: for them to score. This is a very balanced team.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: The offensive line is significantly better than last year, and
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I felt like that was a big part of it.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I believe that State's going to go on the road
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and get the win, but I certainly like it when
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: you're getting four points, three and a half, four points,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: depending on what book you're in. So, yeah, I'm with you.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I like Mississippi State here, but I think they are
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: a live dog as well.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Give me some, buddy. I'm excited. I love being some
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: live dog. I mean, let's go. Florida-Auburn, this is a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: great game, man. Florida, both these teams have brand-new coaches.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Both of these guys have actually played each other. Both
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of these teams come in two and O both of
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: these programs are full of a lot of hope and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: excitement moving forward that built on the fact that they're
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: kind of hoping this is going to get them back
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: into being relevant. Florida's laying two and a half at Auburn.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know where I am on this game. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: haven't played it yet. I kind of lean Florida minus two,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: two and a half is what my numbers tell me.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know from a quarterback perspective on what we're
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: going to get out of Auburn. I, I trust Philo
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: more than I trust the Auburn quarterback situation. I would
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: lean Florida here, but I don't have a play.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, I just don't. I think two things.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I think that Auburn didn't really give Summerall much of
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a look. It's really kind of in his crawl a
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: little bit. So I think he's going to be fired up. Look,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: his wife is an Auburn grad. I think he's probably
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: kind of pissed off he didn't get this job. or
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: at least get offered this job. And they didn't really
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: look at him. I think they're going to play pissed off.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And I think Florida may come in there. I just
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: feel like Goldish just has– he's got a douchebag factor
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: to me, and I don't know what it is. Like
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I don't really– because I don't know that he's really
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: done anything to– I mean, I remember the handshake deal
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: with– What's his name when he was at FIU? I
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: don't really care about that. It's just, I don't know.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's just,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: it's cocky, arrogance, bravado. I'm not really sure, but hell,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: most of these coaches are that way. And Summerall's the
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: exact opposite. Just as seems like a great dude, intense.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, he gets off the bus ready to go.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I just, at the end of the day, think he's
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: a better football coach. And I think that's what the
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: difference of this game is going to be.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I would completely agree with you on that one. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: like Florida here. Again, not involved. Not involved. But I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: like Florida here. I like Summerall a lot. So we'll
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: see how it's going to go. I'm going to put
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a pin in this. I'm not going to play it.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Georgia State plus 18.5. Keep your eye on Georgia State
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: this season. I may get involved in this one. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: think this team is a Sunbelt sleeper. Rolling on down
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the board, Western Michigan comes down to Houston to play Rice.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: After they pounded Monmouth and then got their nuts ripped
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: off in that last one there, Rice has no home
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: field advantage. For those of you that have not seen
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a Rice game, it's a 75,000-seat stadium that about nine
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: people go to. And then Rice only runs the ball.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: They do not pass hardly at all. And so the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: over-under is 43-and-a-half. So my only fear in laying it
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: with Western in this one is does Rice line up
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and have some 70-yard– eight-minute drive that just zonks the defense,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and Western's got to almost score in every possession to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: discover two touchdowns. But I don't know. What are your thoughts?
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it tells you to take them, but man, that's
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: a big trip. It's going to be hot down in Houston. Boy,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: it feels like Hard to bet on Rice because I
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: don't think they're very good, but that's the reason I'm
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: going to pass on this game. If anything, it feels
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: like the home dog in the points might be the
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: smart play just because of the heat and what you're
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: going to get in that ballgame.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Georgia Southern traveling to Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State's 1-2. Over
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: under here is 52-1. Jacksonville State's laying three. You got
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: any love for this game at all?
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Not really. Jacksonville State's not very good. I do think that. But, no,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I don't really have anything in this game. If I
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: was taking it, I would probably take– I probably would
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: bet against Jacksonville State on a short number.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the evening slot. Notre Dame at home
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: hosting Michigan State. Both these teams come in 2-0. Notre
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Dame hung it on rice last week. Line here is 29-1⁄2.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Over-under is 52-1⁄2. You got any interest in taking this
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: one here?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: No. You know I love Notre Dame. I think they're
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the country. I love
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Marks Freeman, but no, there's other games I think are
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: better values.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: LSU, Ole Miss. We talked about this one. LSU laying
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: three and bought Hemingway over-unders 58.5. It's one of the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: highest totals on the board. This game's going to be
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: interesting to me. You know, Sam Levitt can do some
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: wild-ass shit, but he can also make some crazy mistakes.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: You've got Trinidad Chambliss. Everybody's in love with this kid.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: But if you go back and look at Ole Miss
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: this year, this year compared to last year, I think
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the offense has taken a step back. And I would
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: lean LSU in this one. I don't know that I'm
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: going to get involved. If I get something under three,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I might. But I also don't think this game is
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: going to be– a long drive game. I think whoever
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: wins this game is going to win the Battle of
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Chung plays. I think you're going to have some busted
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: coverages and some long touchdowns in this one. But I
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: got no official play here. I think LSU's defense is
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: fucking nasty. And if they win this game here, I
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: think it'll vault them into the top three or four
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: teams in the country. But same thing, Ole Miss, I
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: can't figure out if they're as good as what they
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: are yet. So we're going to find out. It's going
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to be an electric environment. Game day is obviously going
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to be there. 6.30 kickoff. It is going to be
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: wild in Oxford, Mississippi, Saturday night. You got anything for
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: me here?
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to take the Rebels and the points.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I think that place is going to be a zoo.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I think LSU probably is the better football team, but
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I can't get out of my mind the way he
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: played and started the last year. Talking about LSU's quarterback.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Leavitt can blow up, and that is going to be
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a wild environment. I mean, loud and crazy and rocking,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: and you ask me, I think you're going to get
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: a great group from Ole Miss this weekend. I don't
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: think they're nearly as good as they were last year.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: LSU's probably the better team, but I think this is
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: going to be a zoo. I think they stay within
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: the points. I don't I like I would definitely take
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: the points. This is I'm not going to go money
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: line on this, even though I think they obviously have
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: a chance on a line like this to to cover
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: home teams. Home team wins this game a lot. I mean,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I think under Kelly, the home team won every year. So,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm basically looking I'm looking at that happening
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: again as as we go here. But I think the
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Rebels are going to play well.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A couple of other games you got in that
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: same spot, Scotty. Saturday evening, Colorado, Northwestern. You getting involved
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: in this one at all? You got Prime getting forward,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: traveling to Chicago to play Northwestern. They're still on their
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: practice field, by the way.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, I like I like prime here. I think they
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: stay again in this number and they've got a chance
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: to win this game. The four and a half is
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: the difference for me. Can I see this being a
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: 21-17 win? Yep. Can I see it being, you know, 24-21? Yep.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: But I also think Colorado's got a chance to win
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: this game. I think you're going to get a very,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: very similar game to what you got at Georgia Tech
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in this ballgame.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Agree with you there. New Mexico traveling to Norman. Norman's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: got to bounce back after last week, you know, in
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: that Michigan game there. They're laying 22-and-a-half against the New
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Mexico squad. Give me New Mexico here, plus 22-and-a-half. This
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: line keeps creeping. I think the public will be heavy,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: heavy on Oklahoma in this one because they're so used
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: to seeing New Mexico get their tails kicked. But this
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: New Mexico team is different. Jason Eck, he's a great coach.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: He's going to have this team ready to rock and roll.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: He's going to be up for it. Go back and
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: look at his record. Ever since he was even in Idaho,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: when he's batched up against these power teams, he's actually
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: 4-0 against the number to cover here. Give me 22.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I would let this one roll, too. I would get
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: as much as you can get it, but give me
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: New Mexico plus 22.5 in this one. I don't think
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: they're a live dog, but they're slow, real slow pace,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: like fourth slowest in the country. And so I think
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: they're going to just– drain as much as they can
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: off of that clock. And then again, from Oklahoma, I
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: don't know how explosive they're going to be. They're not
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: thinking it's going to be too much because the over-under
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: on this game is 46 and a half. And so
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: give me New Mexico plus the points.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I think New Mexico comes in,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: keeps this line in its number. This is a well-coached
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: football team. This is going to be a, it's going
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: to be a coach and coaching staff. It's going to
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: get some looks from some bigger schools when this season's over.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Only other thing I've got in pocket going into that
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: is Purdue traveling out to UCLA. Purdue last week lost
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: in double overtime against Wake Forest. It's probably going to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: be one of their best chances to get a win
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Now they enter into conference play.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: This game kicks off at 11 p.m. Purdue time, by
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the way, out in California. Laying 14 with the Bruins.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Give me Bob Chesney and minus 14 points on this one.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I think UCLA is going to really give these guys
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: a trouble.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I think UCLA is going
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: to put it on Purdue after a tough, tough game.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Tough loss last week. They got to go across the country.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I like our guys at UCLA getting it done.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: That's all I got, brother. You got anything else this weekend?
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Man, that's it. I'm the same way. That's a great board.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about it. Looking forward to it. Can't wait
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: to watch a couple big games. Obviously, my Bulldogs will
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: have a big game. But, boy, that Ole Miss-LSU game
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: is going to be something else. I cannot wait. Cannot
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: wait to watch how just big of a fiasco that
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: thing's going to be.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you realize how many people are going to
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: get arrested at this game?
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, if they were playing– if they were
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: playing– Oklahoma drills in the, in the Grove last week,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: we had videos of girls fighting and slapping each other
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: in the Grove. I mean, the red shirt and Miss
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: America's were a little aggressive last week. So we've got a,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to really have a fiasco this weekend. So
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about it.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. Underdog play of the week. Give me
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: North Carolina live dog in this one. They're getting three
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and a half. I think this team is a complete
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: live dog. Who are we going to pair these guys
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: up with, Scott?
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: All right. You're going to make me do it. I'll
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: say my Bulldogs.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I think we take the Bulldogs. How about we do this?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: We'll take the Bulldogs. We'll take the fight and build Belichicks.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: And how about we take some prime? We'll take prime.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: We'll do a three-leg money line round robin for 50
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: bucks each. That'll put us out some money there. And
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: then last but not least, we've got our one-unit futures
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: bet to win the national championship. Last week we split
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: a number between Miami and LSU. We can double down
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: on that or we can pump it in a different direction.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts there?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I am going to tell you that I think you
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: have a comeback like that and come back from three
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: touchdowns in the fourth quarter. against a program like Ohio State,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: give me the Longhorns. That game can propel them and
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: give them some confidence, but it also gives them a
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: for-sure two-loss bump, and they still make the playoffs. And
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: when you get in the playoff, anybody's got a chance
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: at that, as Miami showed last year. Give me the
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Longhorns for it this week.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Longhorns in there. Let me look at what the futures
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: are on that real quick. Hang on. What about Georgia?
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Georgia's my other, but we're going to get so many
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: chances to play them again through the year, or that's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: who I would have picked.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see what the line is on both of
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: these teams real quick. I think you're still getting Texas.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: You may still get Texas at 10-1. Either way, it's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: going to be good. I like where we're headed here.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: We'll take the Longhorns as our national championship, one-unit play
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to get everything rolling. We may have to cut into
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: that a little bit and put some Georgia into it.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Folks, give us some downloads. Give us some loves.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Give us some likes. We appreciate everything. Love y'all. Everybody
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: have a great week, and we'll talk to you next week.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks, buddy.
