That's seven 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: thirty Eastern time for to thirty Pacific time on the 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: Betting Pros YouTube channel for Thursday Night Football between the 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: Vikings and the Rams. More in that game here in 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: just one second. So I'm taping this before the game 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: is over, and maybe that's a mistake, but I've got 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: stuff I've got to go ahead and do. It's currently 22 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: one oh five ninety two Milwaukee. That game has seven 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: to play. So if I lose this bet, if I 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: if I curse this bet, mushed this bet. Whatever you 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: want to talk about, but we'll recap it. We'll call 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: it good with the Bucks and laying three and a 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: half on the road against the sixers. 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: But we got the Pacers. 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 2: They scored one hundred and fifteen, so they fell short 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: of the one eighteen and a half there. The first 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: half was pretty slow, so that killed that bet. Second 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: half was pretty much on pace, but the first half 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: was too slow, so we missed out on the half units. 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: You know, point six units. We want a half unit 35 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: coming back with the Bucks, so we're down point one. 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: So basically a paper cut in nothing as we continue 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: just to slowly play defense with this. I told you 38 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: a couple of days ago that I was going to 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: rethink and reimagine my betting. Well, the betting universe is awesome, right, 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: So sometimes you just get lucky and you end up 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: spending time talking with somebody who makes a lot of sense. 42 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: And so my other show, and you can go watch 43 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: my other show, it's called Bostonian Versus the Book. We 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: had a guy on who I have a ton of 45 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: respect for, and he doesn't sponsor this podcast, so I'll 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: allow him to be nameless in his company to be nameless, 47 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: but he had an incredible rant on the money line 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: versus laying points debate and why paying the juice is 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: worth it. Paying the juice in an avoiding money line 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: are an avoiding spreads and just betting money line is 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: ultimately a more profitable way of betting. And he preached 52 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: so well this that I'm going to adopt this, and 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: I'm going to try this because take the Ravens game 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: on Monday night, right, the Ravens were never going to 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: lose that game, but we're nervous about the three and 56 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: a half the hook we were worried about. Now, granted, 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: this is maybe a little bit too rich for some. 58 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: And the reason why I have stopped doing this or 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: did not never really do this is because of how 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: many units you might get down quickly if you have 61 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: a bad day. This is a much more volidile way 62 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: of betting. Okay, it's there's no point spread, Okay, it's 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: moneyline place. And I still will take dogs. Okay, I'm 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: not telling you I won't take dogs, because I will. 65 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: I will take points. If it's plus six, plus seven, 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: plus eight, I will take dogs, and. 67 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: I think the dog can win the game. 68 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: But I may take points just because, but laying points 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: is now going to be something I'm gonna do very infrequently. 70 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: We're gonna bet money line. I'm gonna try this for 71 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: a little while. Let's see if this is more successful, 72 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: if this works out better for me, If this blows 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: up in my face and. 74 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't work, fine, doesn't work. 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: But when you're cold and things aren't working, and they've 76 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: worked previously, you can't keep doing the same thing. You 77 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: have to make a change. You have to change things 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: up and see if you can create, you know, but 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: better a handicap for yourself. So I have three bets 80 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: all money line here tonight, one NBA basketball, one college football, 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: and one in the NFL for tonight's games in the 82 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: Vikings and the Rams.

Vikings 96 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: are off their first loss of the season. 97 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: There are rumors that Cooper Cup could be traded, so 98 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: there's a lot going on with the Rams. The Rams 99 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: are not a good football team, not good at all. 100 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: This number is three. I think we're gonna see a 101 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: bounce back spot here for the Vikings. I don't think 102 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: I'm telling you guys anything you don't already know. Like, 103 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm coming on here and like giving 104 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: you some big, huge like oh my god, Matt's taking 105 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: the Vikings. But I just don't think this Rams team. 106 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: After watching the Rams and watching them play, I don't 107 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: know how good they are. 108 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, like that, they're banged up. 109 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: They're two and four, the Vikings are five and one, 110 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: and you have a chance to get a bounce back 111 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: spot here. I mean the Raiders were in the game 112 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: against the Rams last week. In fact, I'm not really 113 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: sure why the line is three. Everyone's like the lines 114 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: of trapped, the lines of trap, and it very well 115 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: might be. Okay, the line may be a trap. You 116 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: may go on on Thursday night. Don't take the road 117 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: team on Thursday night, but I mean Thursday night home 118 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: teams have not done well recently. 119 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: The numbers go against us in terms of this. 120 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: If you want to take a home team and so 121 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna worry about the points spread. I just 122 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the better team. Okay, Vikings are a 123 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: complete football team. The Vikings are going to take it 124 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: out on the Rams here tonight, and I think we're 125 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: gonna see a really good performance from this defense. I 126 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: think Matthew Stafford's gonna be running for his life. I 127 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: think Matthew Stafford doesn't have the weapons, the wide receivers 128 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: or anybody really to hang here with its Viking secondary 129 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: to move the football consistently. I'm coming in here. I'm 130 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: taking it on the money line. I'll lay the mice 131 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: one fifty. I don't want to play around. I don't 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: want to play around anything to do with the line 133 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: Vikings money line Mie one fifty one point five units down. 134 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: Like I mentioned, it's gonna get juicy. Okay, Betting money 135 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: lines is more expensive, But you only pay the juice. 136 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: When you lose. 137 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: Good line from a daily juicer that was set in 138 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: our discord channel a bunch of months ago that I 139 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: am still going to adapt. You only pay the juice 140 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: when you lose Mins one fifty one point five units 141 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: down Viking's money line to beat the Rams for one 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: point five units. 143 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Okay. Second play, let's talk. 144 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: About ODU at Home, ODU at home in the sun Belt. Now, 145 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: you might want to go bet Pittsburgh and Syracuse. You 146 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: can do that. That game feels a little bit to me, 147 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: like I think Pittsburgh wins that game, but I don't 148 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: know what to do with that game. That game's scary. 149 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: That game to me is I watch Syracuse on the road. 150 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: They can score, Pittsburgh can give up points. That defense 151 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: hasn't been great, their offense has been much better. But 152 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: Thursday night, acc I don't know. I like this game more. 153 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: Why Georgia Southern's undefeated winner of this game goes to 154 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: first place in the division. Huge game for both Georgia 155 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: Southern and Old Dominion. This is offense versus defense. Od 156 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: U's defense is tremendous, and I mean tremendous. 157 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: They're one on a top twenty five. 158 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: You know the stats we need to pull up for 159 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: ODU pretty impressive. I'll give them you here in just 160 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: one second. ODEU is three and four in the year. 161 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: But that's because they lost to South Carolina twenty three 162 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: to nineteen. South Comline's pretty good. They lost to East 163 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: Carolina twenty to fourteen. They're not bad. They lost to 164 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: Vatek thirty seven to seventeen. Those are three really tough 165 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: teams they played early, so once they've gotten into the conference, 166 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: they're only losses on the road At Coastal they beat 167 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: a tough Bowling Green team on the road. They beat 168 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: Georgia State on the road, and then they beat Texas 169 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: State last week at home Georgia State Marshall and James Madison. 170 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: That's the big win for me with Georgia Southern. To 171 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: beat James Madison twenty eight to fourteen, that's huge. We're 172 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: selling high on Georgia Southern after beating JMU, the same 173 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: JMU team that hung seventy on North Carolina The stats 174 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: are pretty wild offensively, Georgia Southern scores twenty eight points 175 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: per game. But you don't move the ball all that 176 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: well on Odu in conference. You don't run the ball 177 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: on these guys. Three point eight yards per rush. Not 178 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: an easy team to run on. For Odu, give it 179 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: up less than twenty six points per game, that's top 180 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: seventy in the country. 181 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: That's great. They only give it up. 182 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: Zero point three to three points per play. That's top 183 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 2: fifty in the country. They are an interception happy defense, 184 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: ranking in the top twenty one, ranked twenty first, top 185 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 2: twenty five in the country in opposing interception percentage. They 186 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: pick the ball off, they turn the ball off. On 187 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: the other side, Odu is good enough to move the ball. 188 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: They're not outstanding. They can run the ball fairly well. 189 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: They can't really throw the ball. They're not great at 190 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: throwing the ball really at all. Five point five yards 191 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 2: for pass play. That's in up to the top one 192 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: hundred in the country. If they got a young quarterback here. 193 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: For Odu, this comes down to Thursday night in Norfolk, 194 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: Virginia home field. Thursday night short week in the sun Belt, 195 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: Fun Belt Thursday Night ESPN Two's got this game Odu. 196 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: I'm taking Odu on the money line. Let's get a 197 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 2: wre for Odu. It's minus one twenty on Odu. They're 198 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: one point favorites here. We're not gonna worry about the 199 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: point spread. Just take the money line here. You can 200 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: lay the one if you want. If you want to 201 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: avoid the juice and the point ten, just lay the 202 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: money line minus one. But if they win by one 203 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 2: and they push, I just bet the money line, Oh 204 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: to you minus one twenty for one point two units. Finally, 205 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: we're going to the Association Massive Game in the NBA, 206 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: Denver hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver favored Denver home opener. 207 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: They're laying two and a half. 208 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: OKAC is everyone's pick to win the Western Conference. This 209 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: is a SGA MBP campaign. This is chet Holmgrin. This 210 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: is a roster that's got some serious depth to it. 211 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: Alex Caruso now comes over via free agency to help 212 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: with defense. You've got a really good bench that they're 213 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: gonna look to lean on here. Aaron Wiggins coming off 214 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: the bench at times. Jayley Williams out, but he'll come 215 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: back at some point for this team. But starting five wise, 216 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: they're long, they can run, and they can shoot. There's 217 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: a lot of questions for Denver, at least early in 218 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: the year. For me, there's a lot of questions for 219 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets as to what they're going to look 220 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: like and what Denver is going to be able to 221 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: do this season. Yes, they're at home. Yes, Denver was 222 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: tremendous at home last year. However, there's one thing that 223 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: happened early last year with Denver. 224 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: They got beat at home early. 225 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: They were thirty three and eight at home last year, 226 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: but they got beat early. 227 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: I think they get beat again here. 228 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: The Thunder, I think are going to try to make 229 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: a statement the same way that the Celtics did against 230 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: the Knicks that you know what, we're the best team 231 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: in the West. Let's go and show everybody that we're 232 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 2: the best team in the West, and we're going to 233 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: get after it and we're going to go and score. 234 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: We're going to run. 235 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: I mean, look, the Thunder haven't been great, like fifty 236 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: win great since back when they had KD and all 237 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: the talent, you know, James Harden, But this is that 238 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: type of year for them, Like this is where we're 239 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: looking at this and the Denver Nuggets have been the 240 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: class of the Western Conference. 241 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: They lost a lot. They lot Caldwell Pope, they lost 242 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson, they lost a lot of Russell Westbrook is 243 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: now a nugget and Dario sarget Hach is a nugget. 244 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. Jamal Murray is still on 245 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: this team. Jokic is still on this team. But give 246 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: me the give me an opening night, give me the Thunder. 247 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: You don't see the Thunder as underdogs very often. This 248 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: might be one of the few times they're gonna be dogs. 249 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: I know it's Game one, I know it's taken on Denver, 250 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna take the Thunder here. 251 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Give me okay. 252 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 2: See it very well could be Boston versus Okac in 253 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: the finals, but I got a team that is hungry 254 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: to make a point Sga versus and he doesn't have 255 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: an MVP, but he wants to be. He's playing an 256 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: MVP in Yo Kic. How they handle Yo Kitch is 257 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 2: gonna be really important. But it comes down to the 258 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: lack of shooting for me. With Denver, I'm thinking you 259 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: can collapse down on Jokic, make them, you know, double 260 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: team them with chet and whatnot. Got some long, tall guys. 261 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 2: He's gonna get his. But don't let the three point 262 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: shooting come in. And it's Russell Westbrook. Anytime I see 263 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, I gotta faded. I'm taking the dog. It's 264 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: plus money, okay. See, we're not gonna get many times 265 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: this season to take the thunder on the money line 266 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 2: at plus money. We're taking the thunder at plus money 267 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: at plus one fifteen tonight against the Denver Nuggets. All right, 268 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: Vikings money line at minus one fifty Old Dominion money 269 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: line at home on THURSDA night in the fun Belt 270 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: at minus one twenty and OKAC on the road at 271 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: Denver at plus one fifteen for one unit one point 272 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: five and one point two units down for us coming 273 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: up here on that we're gonna get. Yeah, that's one 274 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: fifteen to ninety nine with two thirty nine to play, 275 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: sixteen point lead for the Bucks. 276 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: So we're good. That's good. 277 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have a one on one day last night. 278 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: Let's see what we can do here back on full 279 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: unit place here on a Thursday.
