Today we take a first look at 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: the slate and make our early picks and line movement predictions. 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm your host, Seth Wilcock, coming off perhaps the greatest 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: weekend of college football I can remember in quite some time. 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: From Friday until Saturday night. I was captivated by the 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: pageantry that this game brings. And I am joined by 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: a resident CFB handicapper at Betting Pros, Scott Bogman. Boggs, 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: if you would have told me back in weeks zero 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: that both of our teams would be playing in their 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: conference title games, I'd be willing to write off this 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: season as a success. 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: What do you think, I mean, yes, absolutely for sure. 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: And your boys, Penn State, they got a chance to 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: come through and be the number one seeds, which is 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: kind of incredible to think about the path that they've taken. 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: And you know, just a beautiful Saturday, What a great 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: day to be a lot here, Seth. I mean, you know, 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: Texas gets back to the SEC title for the first 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: time ever. We gave A and M A thirteen year 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: head start to get there and still made it there 23 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 3: before them. So go on the road and beat them, 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: our boys. The Steelers went on the road to beat Cincinnati, 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 3: gave us the escalator of sadness. So it's just it's 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 3: a great day to be alive and breathing air. So 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: I am all for it. We have some great conference 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: championships to preview here and last week was just a 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: I mean chaos every single week. 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: And I wasn't. 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 3: My picks weren't that great this But my process, I 32 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: feel like was still good because should have got that 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: K State win. They made so many mistakes. They had 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: a ninety five percent postgame win expectancy. I should have 35 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: had that one. Barely got South Carolina, but we did 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: get South Carolina, Thank you Leonora Sellers.

And the BYU Houston game should have gone under. 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: We got a pick down to the three. We got 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: an no on site kick return. 40 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: Oh man, that was. 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: Frustrating to not get my under on that game.

Tennessee takes down 80 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: bandy thirty six twenty three, likely stamping their trip to 81 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: the college football playoffs.

And now there's 86 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: all these Ryan Day rumors and everything. 87 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: Man, what a game. Listen. 88 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: I came into last week on this very episode of 89 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: our show, I said, I think there might. 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: Be some value on Michigan. 91 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: That's too many points that it was. The over didn't 92 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: come through for me, but I wish I would have 93 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: stayed packed with Michigan. But it's really hard to back 94 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: them after what we've seen all s. 95 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: We know then everyone will be taking Michigan next year. 96 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 3: There'll be no tickets on Ohio State. 97 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Avery. 98 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Yes, And it was followed by a great brawl as well, 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: one for the ages, pepper spray going around, people getting trampled. 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: South Carolina down South. They beat Clemson seventeen to fourteen. 101 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: Arizona State stomps the Wildcasts forty nine to I told you, 102 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: I know that was a good call on you, Mia Treuell. 103 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: We had a little sprinkle on that Wildcat's money line, 104 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: but we did get the over in that game. Syracuse 105 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: dashes Miami's playoff hopes forty two to thirty eight. Bama 106 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: wins the Iron both twenty eight to fourteen. Notre Dame 107 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: beats USC forty nine to thirty five, and the Longhorns 108 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: hook them take down A and M seventeen to seven. 109 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: What a weekend, my friend. 110 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 3: Ah, what a weekend. It was awesome. I mean, I 111 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: cannot believe. I still can't. 112 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: Believe Michigan beat Ohio State. 113 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: And not only did Michigan beat Ohio State, but when 114 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: Syracuse beat Miami, they asked Kyle McCord about it and 115 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: he said, everything comes full circle, which I thought was 116 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: just the perfect answer. The whole room started cracking up. 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 118 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: It was I mean, honestly, it was really on the 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: back of Will Howard here in The offensive line was 120 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: awful for Ohio State. 121 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: And that's you know, that was a mismatch. 122 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: But you know, we saw Ohio State handle business against 123 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: Indiana with a up offensive line. So I thought, okay, well, 124 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: you know, Indiana's defensive line had been great for most 125 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: of the season. Mckel kamara is going to go in 126 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: the draft pretty high. And but there's just too many 127 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 3: of those guys on the line from Michigan and Will 128 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: Howard really had some bad turnovers in that game as. 129 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: One game plan too man like, like they just kept 130 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: running right. 131 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: Up Smith Moore, what are you doing? Yeah, you know 132 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: what I mean? 133 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: So Uh, yeah, Ryan Day has a Michigan problem. I 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: don't think he's going to get fired. I know a 135 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: lot of people are talking about how he may get fired. 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to happen. 137 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: But he does. 138 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: He needs to readjust and figure it out because you know, 139 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: this is an issue and if you lose one more time. 140 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 3: I heard Bud Elliott talking about it. He said, look, 141 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: the first three losses, Okay, Michigan's a really good team. 142 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 3: This loss, you don't have an excuse for. They're not 143 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: a good team. They've been Jim Yeah, no, Jim Harbaugh. 144 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: A lot of their players are gone. They've been beat 145 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: by decent teams this year. And uh, the only, well, 146 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: they say, the only representative of the twenty twenty one 147 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: recruiting class to beat Michigan from that Ohio state classes 148 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: Quinn Yours with Texas. 149 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that was. 150 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: It was one of the more shocking upsets that I've 151 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 3: ever seen. You know, just twenty point favorites and to 152 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: lose straight up to your most hated rival, and then 153 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: with all of the stuff after the game, and you know, 154 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: every A lot has been made about the announcers being 155 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: disgusted and all that stuff, and yeah, look, I just 156 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: don't think you can have it both ways. You can't 157 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: promote this game with hatred and show all the highlights 158 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: of the fights and then be disgusted by them when 159 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: they happen after the game. 160 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: So pick a ling, you know, uh, but agreed. 161 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: I think that the rivalries are great for college football, 162 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: the fighting not so much. They probably need to do 163 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: a little something about that because I mean, look, I 164 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: think it's just competition now, but somebody's gonna eventually get 165 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: hurt pretty bad, and we need we need to put 166 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: a cap on it before that stuff happens. So because 167 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 3: they're throwing a real fist out there, they're not like 168 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: the you know, the rumbling where everybody's jumping and talking 169 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: smack to each other kind of pushing and shoving fights. 170 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: These are brawls. So I do think that we need 171 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: to we need to quell that a little bit. 172 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I like the passion, so I 173 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: like seeing it. 174 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: I like seeing that these guys have a lot of 175 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 3: emotion and are playing with a lot of it as well. 176 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: So I enjoyed everything about Rivalry Week. 177 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: I think it's exactly what we wanted and It's a 178 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: lot of fun heading into conference championship, and then we 179 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: were seeing a lot of lobbying to get into this 180 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: twelve team playoff, a lot of resume posting, which has 181 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: been fun as well. So it's just the pageantry of 182 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: college football is absolutely unmatched. 183 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: Looking at what remains of the limited futures market, Travis 184 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: Hunter is now minus ten thousand to win the Heisman. 185 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: Oregon is also the National Championship favorite at plus three fifty. 186 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Do these odds make sense to you, bogs any values 187 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing there? Are you one of those on the 188 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: internet who's still banging the drum for Ashton genty to 189 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: be the Heisman favorite? I think he's like twenty to 190 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: one or something to win. 191 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: Now, No, that's over. I mean unless he scores ten 192 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: touchdowns in the Mountain West Conference championship game. That ain't happening. 193 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 3: So it minus ten thousand. Vegas puts up buildings for 194 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: a reason. Travis Hunters wonning the award, so there's no use. 195 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: I mean, look, the national title can. 196 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: Go a bunch of different ways still, and. 197 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Oregon might be the most disrespected 198 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: number one team ever. Nobody talks about them. Now, Look, 199 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 3: you know, they haven't played the hardest schedule in the country, 200 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 3: so there's not a lot of huge games in here 201 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: that we're challenging them. We talked about him a lot 202 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: when they played Ohio State, right, but they just keep 203 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 3: rolling people, and no one is really discussing them a lot. 204 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: It's always about these resumes and the losses and all that, 205 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: and they're just sitting here. Twelve and zero went into 206 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: the Big Ten championship and the Power four conferences can 207 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: all be won by first timers, which is insane to me. 208 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: Texas is a first time, in Arizona State in the 209 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: Big Twelve for the first year, Oregon in the Big 210 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: Ten for the first year, SMU, and the ACC for 211 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 3: the first year. So all of these conferences can be 212 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 3: won by first year teams, which is kind of crazy 213 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: to think about. And I honestly think that they will 214 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: be won. 215 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: By all first teams. So okay, we will get into that. 216 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, but now, I mean college football, man, this is 217 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: the stories right themselves. But it is a lot of 218 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: fun to follow along, and for those of you that 219 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: have been with us the whole year, it is thank you, 220 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: and we are ready to go for the bulls here. 221 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and open up the conference title games 222 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: starting on Friday night in Jacksonville, Alabama, where the Jacksonville 223 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: State game Cocks are four point favorites over the Western 224 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: Kentucky Hilltoppers in the Conference USA Championship game. Jacksonville State 225 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: is eight and four straight up six six ats under 226 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: Rich Rod. This comes courtesy of the third best rushing 227 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: offense in the entire nation WKU. They have kept the 228 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: air raid alive once again this season. They ranked twenty 229 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: first in passing offense. They're also eight and four straight 230 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: up seven and five ats. Western Kentucky won this game 231 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: earlier this year on their home turf nineteen seventeen, but 232 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: Jacksonville State did beat them last year at home twenty 233 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: to seventeen. Where do you see this four point line 234 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: heading if anywhere? Bugman. 235 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, this line is steady right now at minus four. 236 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: It hasn't really moved since I've seen it, and a 237 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: lot of that is because Jacksonville State quarterback got hurt 238 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: last week against Western Kentucky. This is one of those 239 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: weird we saw it last week, We're gonna see it 240 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: again this week games and Western Kentucky just won they 241 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: were at home. Tyler Huff left with that injury. Jacksonville 242 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: State had an eighty one percent win expectancy after that 243 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: game though, so it was way more shaded in Jacksonville's 244 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: dates side here and the backup quarterback Logan Smothers. We 245 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: have a long track record with him starting for this team. 246 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: He's started for them last season. Big time recruit as well. 247 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: I think he has enough experience. I think Jacksonville State 248 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: at home should be the favorite. I do think they're 249 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: the better overall team here. So for me, I like 250 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: Jacksonville State. I don't know how much it's gonna move, 251 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 3: though because of this quarterback jury, so I think it's 252 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: gonna hold steady there. I think we can wait. But 253 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: the money is flowing in on Jacksonville State right now, 254 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: and it's flowing in towards the under likely because for 255 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 3: two reasons. Number one, the quarterback went down and number two, 256 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: we just saw this game play and it was nineteen seventeen. 257 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: So both these teams can score. 258 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: We know that they're kind of built around their offenses 259 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: and what they want to do. I just think Jacksonville 260 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: State holds the ball a lot longer at home and 261 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 3: I think they get this win. 262 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: In West Point, New York. The twenty fourth ranked Army 263 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: Black Knights are four point home dogs to the two 264 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: lane Green Wave two lane. They did just lose to Memphis, 265 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: but they remained seven to one in conference play nine 266 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: to three ats as well. They lost to k State 267 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: earlier this season and Oklahoma, but they did beat Navy 268 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: thirty five to zero last month. Quarterback Darien Mensa has 269 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: led this team to the six ranks scoring offense in 270 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: the nation to match their fifteenth ranked scoring defense. Army. Meanwhile, 271 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: they are undefeated in AAC play and their seven three 272 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: to one against the spread this season. But their best 273 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: win we've already talked about this this season probably came 274 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: against North Texas. Still the Black Knights, they own the 275 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: top rushing team in the country and the ninth ranked 276 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: total defense bogs. Is there any value on the boar 277 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: as it currently stands or could we maybe see some 278 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: with line movement later in the week. 279 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: I think we already have so much okay, some value here. 280 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: So my initial thought when I saw this is, Man, 281 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, Tulane beat up on Navy, right, and 282 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: we've kind of made that comparison already earlier this season. 283 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: But if you, you know, you dig a little deeper. 284 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: You look at the losses for Tulane. Right, they've been 285 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: to as you said, K State, Oklahoma, Memphis. They're giving 286 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 3: up two hundred and eleven yards on average rushing in 287 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: those games. In their nine wins, they've held teams toon 288 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: ninety five point two yards rushing. So the big difference 289 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: here is if Tulane lets the team get physical with 290 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: them and push them around, they get beat right, and 291 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: you go and you look at that Navy game. But 292 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: let's not forget Blake Corvak got hurt early in that game. 293 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: I believe he played like fifteen snaps in that game, 294 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: and so they went to the backup and everything kind 295 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: of fell apart for them, and we just saw Tulane 296 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: get pushed around by Memphis. They ran down their throat. 297 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: They had a playoff spot on the line in that game. 298 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: It was possible for them to win, win the AAC 299 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: and go to the tourney as the top group of 300 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 3: five team if Boise State were to, you know, lose 301 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: in the Mountain West or have lost last week. So 302 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: with all that on the line, they choked and let 303 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: Memphis run down their throat. Man, I'm supporting the troops here. 304 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: I think I think Army is better than Navy. More 305 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: on that we'll see next week, of course, But I 306 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: just I think the way that this Army team imposes 307 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: their will, unless they're playing a Notre Dame or you know, 308 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: a P four school, in a good P four school, 309 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 3: I think they run right down their opponent's throats. I 310 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: think they do that to tou Lane in this game. 311 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna take Army. And I don't hate a 312 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: money line. 313 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: Plus one sixty on the money line over a bet 314 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: three sixty five, So non terrible number there for the troops. 315 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, I like it, and I don't know again, 316 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: I'm not sure how much this line is going to move. 317 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: The money right now is on two lane, so okay, there, 318 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 3: I see a spot where you could get Army at 319 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: plus five and a half right now. 320 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: So maybe you don't like the money line. 321 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's gonna move towards Tulane 322 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 3: a little bit here. So if it does, let's just wait, 323 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 3: let's see how long. Maybe we can get a little 324 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: more backing for the troops and make this a little 325 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: closer one. But yeah, I've not been on Army when 326 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: they've been in tough spots. This year, this is a 327 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: tough spot and I am on Army, So we'll see 328 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: if it pays off for me this time, because it 329 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: has when I'm gone against Army, it has paid off 330 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: for me, so hopefully this time it does as well. 331 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: We'll round out the Friday Night slate in Boise, Idaho, 332 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: where the nineteenth ranked Boise State Broncos are three and 333 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: a half point home favorites over the nineteenth ranked UNLV Rebels. 334 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Heisman hopeful ash and Genty has put Boise State back 335 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: on the map for really the first time since the 336 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore era. Boise State is six and six ATS, 337 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: but their only straight up loss this season came to 338 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: the top ranked Oregon team, where they only lost by 339 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: three points thirty four to thirty seven. To no surprise 340 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: the Broncos. They are six in rushing and third in 341 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: scoring offense. They do have the sixty fifth ranked total defense, 342 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 1: a mid early season controversy, though UNLV has been pretty 343 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: good this season ten and two straight up seven and 344 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: five ATS, they have the fourth best rushing offense in 345 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: the nation as well in the forty ninth ranked total 346 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: defense Bogs. Boise has won eight in a row against 347 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: the Reps, including twenty nine to twenty four this season 348 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Is there value though, on them to 349 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: do it again against a team that they're very ranked, 350 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: evenly against. 351 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is You just look at PFF grades UNLV 352 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 3: seventeenth overall, Boise State fifteen overall, and we have a 353 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 3: matchup where the PFF grades have tied two of these 354 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: teams that we'll get into in a little bit as well. 355 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 3: So you know, obviously in all these conference championships, these 356 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: lines aren't gonna be huge. They're fairly obvious here and 357 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: we haven't had those big you know, like last year 358 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 3: when Florida State lost their quarterback, we had a big 359 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 3: line and all that. 360 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: We're not getting those this year. No major injuries. 361 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: But this is another game where the team that lost 362 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: had a postgame winning They expect to see over fifty 363 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 3: percent and was sixty six point seven for UNLV. But 364 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 3: for me, you mentioned the history of this game, the 365 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: environment outdoors on the smurf turf if at Boise State, 366 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: we're showing any advantage towards Boise Stott Boise State here, 367 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 3: and that is my initial thought as well. I'm gonna 368 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: go to the Broncos. I'm gonna lay the points. I mean, 369 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 3: they had more yards, they led time and possession, they 370 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: had six sacks. And I also think that if Boise 371 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: State gets down, I think I trust Maddox Mattson a 372 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 3: little bit more than Hotchma Lake Williams to play comeback 373 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 3: in the passing game should they get down. So for me, 374 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: I just think there's too many outs to Boise State 375 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: winning this game. 376 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: We're showing an advantage there. I'm gonna roll with it. 377 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: Do we have enough public betting data yet to know 378 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: if this line's going to move at all? 379 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: Bogs, Yeah, I mean it's pretty heavily bet towards Boise State, 380 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: So if you want to take them, I would take 381 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 3: them fairly early. 382 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: Okay. 383 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: On Saturday, though, Ohio Bobcats are three point dogs against 384 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: the Miami Ohio RedHawks in the MAC Championship Game, hosted 385 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: at Ford Field in Detroit. Rock City, Ohio is back 386 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: in the title game four the second straight season, largely 387 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: due to their fourteenth ranked rushing offense and thirteenth ranked 388 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: total defense. Tim Albins Groups only losses this season has 389 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: come to Syracuse in Week one, Kentucky in week four, 390 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: and Miami, Ohio in week eight. They're eight and four, 391 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: ats best in the conference. Miami's offense has been pretty mid, 392 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: ranking ninety third in total offense under Brett Gabert, younger 393 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: brother of Blaine Gabert, but their defense has been ranking 394 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: similar to Ohio's their fourteenth in total defense. They have 395 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: won eight of the last nine games after starting off 396 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: the season zero to three, losing to the likes of 397 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: Northwestern sincey Notre Dame Boggs, where's the money coming in at? 398 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: And where are you putting yours? Personally, I think there's 399 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: some value on the Bobcats, but I could be biased 400 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: because I did meet some Ohio fans a few years 401 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: ago out of Penn State game. 402 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: They were awesome. 403 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: They were passing me a fireball, shot some shooters in 404 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: the stadium, back and forth. I've never liked people from 405 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: Ohio more than that day. So I'm going, Bobcats here, 406 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: what about you, my friend? 407 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: Well, look, Miami, that's Miami, Ohio. They're still in Ohio, 408 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 3: so we still have some Ohio people. They're they're very nice, absolutely. 409 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: Except the ones of Columbus. 410 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: We hate them, but okay, all right, yeah, I'm not 411 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 3: gonna say we. I don't hate the Ohio State fans. 412 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: I have a lot of friends that are Ohio State fans. 413 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: But this is a tight one. We saw Miami when 414 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: the first one. They're at home, this is a neutral site. 415 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 3: They have one more loss, but I mean their losses 416 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: three of their four were to Power for schools, same 417 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: thing for Ohio, though two of their. 418 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: Three were to Power for schools. 419 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: It was Northwestern, Notre Dame and Cincy for Miami, and 420 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 3: then Syracuse. 421 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: In Kentucky for Ohio. 422 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: So Ohio plays great defense, but Brett Gabbert is a veteran. 423 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: He found a way to win last time. And if 424 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: Ohio gets down, I just don't think they have the 425 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 3: offense play comeback again. Ohio hasn't lost the game since 426 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 3: the first game in Miami is on that seven game 427 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 3: win streak as well. So this is this is such 428 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 3: a good, tight MAC championship race here, It's gonna be a. 429 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: Lot of fun. 430 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: I just I trust Brett Gafferty's played in like ninety 431 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 3: eight college games or whatever it is. I mean, honestly, yeah, 432 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 3: he is he's gonna need an AARP card when he 433 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 3: goes to try out for the NFL here, So yeah, 434 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: I like the RedHawks a little bit in this game. 435 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm betting this one with confidence because 436 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: it is such an even matchup, but I think I 437 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 3: would lay the points here. We do show a slight 438 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 3: advantage towards Ohio so and slightly towards the under but 439 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: I mean we're talking razor thin in our projections as well, 440 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: so this might be a game where you just, you know, 441 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 3: you wake up and let's maybe better player prop on 442 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: it and not on this game, you know what I mean. 443 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: So this one is just gonna be too tight for 444 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: me to really I think unless the lion ship's one 445 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 3: way or the other, do. 446 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: We think it shifts? Is there any money coming in 447 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: on this as of now. 448 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 3: It's a lot of cash is going to Miami, so 449 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 3: lots of cash. So it might open up a little 450 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 3: bit and give your Ohio Bobcats a little bit of 451 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 3: a value. Later in the week, we'll see which way 452 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 3: that one swings. But right now I would have to 453 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: take the RedHawks, but without a ton of confidence. This 454 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: is one of my lower ones of the week for sure. 455 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: In Jerry's world, we have the Big twelve Championship game 456 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: where the twelfth ranked Arizona State Sun Devils are two 457 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites over the sixteenth ranked Iowa 458 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: State Cyclones. Led by quarterback Sam Levitt and running back 459 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Cam Skataboo, Arizona State has won and covered in five 460 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: straight to get to the conference best ten and two 461 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: ATS record. They beat down Arizona on the road forty 462 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: nine to seven for the Territorial Cup and they are 463 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: now ranked thirtieth in total offense thirty seventh in total 464 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: defense as well. Iowa State, they have rebounded from back 465 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: to back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas with three 466 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: straight wins and covers against the likes of Sincy, Utah 467 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: and k State. Quarterback rock O Beck has been dealing 468 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: as of late. He is leading this team to the 469 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: forty first total offense in the nation to go along 470 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: with their thirty first ranked total defense. However, they've been 471 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: banged up at linebacker all season long. They just lost 472 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: another starter over the weekend. Bogs, do you think that 473 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: catches up with Iowa State here? 474 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's more than just the linebacker 475 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: entry that catches up with the Iowa State here, and 476 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: this is another one of those games where you look 477 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: at it, I think Arizona State is playing their best 478 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: football of the year right now when it counts, and 479 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 3: I don't think Iowa State is. And that is basically 480 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 3: what's going to boil down to for me. I mentioned 481 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: Kansas State had a ninety five percent postgame win expectancy 482 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: against Iowa State last week. The week before, Utah Wow, 483 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: who lost, had an eighty five percent postgame win expectancy 484 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 3: even when. 485 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: They beat Sincy by seventeen. 486 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: Since he had a sixty two percent postgame win expectancy 487 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 3: the last game that you go back to where Iowa 488 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: State was supposed to win. And I'm putting up air 489 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: quotes right sure, because postgame win expectancy doesn't really matter. 490 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 3: It shows you the story of the game and who 491 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 3: should have won. But I mean, io Sate keeps finding 492 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 3: a way to win. But Week seven was the last 493 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 3: time where Iowa State had an over fifty percent postgame 494 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 3: win expectancy. So Rock Gobeck, who has been good, was 495 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: thirteen for thirty five last week. He was not good 496 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: in that game against k State. Now, Arizona State did 497 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: have a big injury. If this guy is gonna miss 498 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: wide receiver Jordan Tyson left this game, so if he 499 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 3: is out, it's going to play much tighter. But if 500 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 3: he's up, this isn't a bad injury and he's in. 501 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: I like the Devils to win big. I think they 502 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 3: are playing their best football. They're pushing people around with 503 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: the offensive line right now, They're controlling the clock and 504 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 3: you know, using the run game, and Sam Levitt is 505 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 3: just not making the big mistakes that he was earlier 506 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: in the years. So I think that ASU definitely should 507 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: be favored in this game. And right now cash is 508 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 3: on their side pretty favorably, so this one might open 509 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: up towards the Sun Devils. Jordan Tyson is a big piece, 510 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 3: though I don't if you want to wait and see 511 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: what's going on with him to bet this game, I 512 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: don't blame you, because without him stretching the field, that 513 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: could limit Arizona State's offense a little bit. So in 514 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: Iowa State, it keeps finding a way to snake a 515 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: win in all these games where they should be losing. 516 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: So they definitely know how to win games in tight situations. 517 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 3: So I don't want to count Iowa State out by 518 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: any stretch. They are a very good team. I just 519 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 3: think ASU is rolling right now. So I'm gonna take 520 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: the Sun. 521 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: Devils, okay. 522 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: And you're telling us, hey, maybe we should be taking 523 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: Arizona State early if we do want the best value, 524 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: but we're still taking a gamble without their star wide 525 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: receiver being one hundred percent healthy. That's kind of what 526 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: you're risking here. 527 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 2: Really, it's step Tyson doesn't play. 528 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 3: This is a different offense because he has really been 529 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: a difference maker down the stretcher. 530 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: And before we continue, I did remind everybody to join 531 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: our college football podcast group.

Slash College All Eyes will 536 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: be on Atlanta at four pm Eastern time on Saturday, 537 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: where the second ranked Texas Longhorns are now two and 538 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: a half point favorites over the fifth rank Georgia Bulldogs. 539 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: Georgia does not rank inside the top thirty in total 540 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: offense or total defense and was absolutely exposed last week 541 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: against Haines King and Tech. They're now three to nine 542 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: ATS and they failed to cover in four of the 543 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: last five games. However, they did beat Texas thirty to 544 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: fifteen back in October, Texas seven to five ATS this season, 545 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: coming off one of their best wins. I don't know 546 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: if just this season, but really, like I would say 547 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenties of program history, seventeen to seven 548 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: winning in College Station, the Longhorns are fourteenth and total offense, 549 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: third in total defense, and they finally have gotten this 550 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: run game going. We talked about it going into last week, Boggs. 551 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: I really like what your Longhorns have been doing overall. 552 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: The defense looking much improved, and I'm liking how they're 553 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: starting to mix in arch Manning's mobility off the bench 554 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: as well. But can we really bet against Kirby Smart again? 555 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: That is really the question mark for me. 556 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 557 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: My Georgia buddy was like, your boy, wis theer's gonna 558 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: have to get in that ice bath? And I'm like, well, 559 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 3: everybody for Georgia needs a nice bath. They just played 560 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 3: eight overtimes, man. You know, so both these teams in 561 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 3: nice physical matchups before this one, so coming in a 562 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 3: little bit beat up and tired for sure. But I 563 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: think that I was honestly surprised that Texas was the 564 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: favorite in this game after the first matchup because what 565 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 3: has changed, well, what has changed, and to me, it's 566 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 3: that I think Texas defense is playing better. 567 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: Than anyone in the country right now. 568 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: And the run game and the ability to run, you know, 569 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 3: has really opened up. 570 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: This was supposed to be the guy at all right, 571 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: like like you know, yeah. 572 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 3: And then he got hurt, the guy behind him got hurt. 573 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 3: Why down to why isn't it right? And this is 574 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: just this is the depth of a team like Texas 575 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: and the guys that they're getting in here is just insane. 576 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 3: You know, you have two guys that can start a 577 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 3: quarterback here with yours and arch Manning. You don't have 578 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 3: that in a lot of programs. So I just think 579 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: the defense is playing better. They're gonna have to stay 580 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 3: more vertical in this game because Texas likes to do 581 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 3: a lot of you know, screen passes, a lot of 582 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 3: play action, a lot of weird motion stuff that got 583 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 3: them beat into the dirt against Georgia last time. Georgia 584 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: was too physical at the point of attack. Beat the 585 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: tackles who you know, everyone says this is the best 586 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 3: offensive line in the country. They did not play like 587 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: it against Georgia at all, so they have to step 588 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 3: up for sure. Our left tackle got hurt, so we'll see, 589 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: you know, the backup play great. We're gonna see if 590 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 3: Calvin Banks replacement here can have another great week. 591 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: Projected top ten pick in Banks. 592 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Banks is awesome, so he did not have His 593 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 3: worst game was against Georgia though, so I'm not sure 594 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: if he's. 595 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: Going to be ready to go. 596 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: This is for a buy in the playoffs. There's a 597 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: lot on the line. I'm not gonna pick against Texas, 598 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 3: but what I will say is I like the under 599 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: in this game. Texas defense playing better than anybody else 600 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: quinn Ewers and the offense did not put up a 601 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: good fight against this defense in Georgia last time they played, 602 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: So the under is going to be my favorite play 603 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: here right now, it is forty nine and a half. 604 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: You know, BP, we're showing a slight edge towards the 605 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: over here. 606 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: I get it. 607 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: But cash is coming in on Georgia and tickets are 608 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 3: coming in on Georgia. Right now, the money is split, 609 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: it's a little bit shaded towards the over, so I 610 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 3: think the total stays. But I think this line is 611 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 3: going to shrink to about one before we get there. 612 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 3: So if you want to take Texas, I would wait, okay, 613 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 3: and uh yeah, we'll see what happens with the toll, 614 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: but I think it's gonna stay. But my favorite play 615 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: just because the offense is a little bit banged up 616 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: for Texas and didn't farewell last time, and the defense 617 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 3: is playing lights out right now. I mean Texas A 618 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: and M did not score an offensive point. They had 619 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: to pick six yep in that game. 620 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: That's it. 621 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 3: So that was at home for Texas A and M 622 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: and the biggest matchup in the twenty twenties for them, 623 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: and they they got smoked. So I think Texas defense 624 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: is just playing too good. Their offense is banged up. 625 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: The Unders might play for sure. 626 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: There will be about a thirty minute window in the 627 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: primetime slate where all eves will be on the Sun 628 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: Belt Championship game the Louisian Outrage occasions. They are four 629 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: point home favorites against the Marshall Thunder and heard Marshall 630 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: is a Sun Belt best ten to two ats this season, 631 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: largely because they have a great three headed backfield averaging 632 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: over two hundred rush yards per game Louisiana. Meanwhile, they're 633 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: eighteenth in total offense forty second in total defense. They 634 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: show clear advantages on both sides of the ball bogs. 635 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: The Raging Cajuns are two to zero all time against Marshall. 636 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: Do they make it three in a row here and 637 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: win their fourth ever Sunbelt title? 638 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. 639 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 3: Offense first defense in this game, Marshall having a top 640 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: fifteen scoring defense, Louisiana with the top fifteen scoring offense. 641 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 3: The Cajuns top QB Ben Woolridge went down a few 642 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 3: weeks back. They lost that game, but they've won the 643 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 3: two cents and I still lean towards the offense here. 644 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 3: The two losses this season for the Cajuns have been 645 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 3: to Tulane and South Alabama, where Woolridge got hurt. Marshall's 646 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 3: won sixth straight, but it looked very shaky last two 647 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: weeks and are a little more lopsided in terms of 648 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 3: being one sided. A more defensive team, for sure. I 649 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 3: think it's hilarious that these teams are tied. These are 650 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: the teams that are tied, both tied for thirty third 651 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: in PFF's overall team grade. Louisiana needs to control the clock. 652 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: They need to convert third downs. That's a big thing 653 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 3: that hasn't been happening with fields. The backup quarterback here 654 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 3: seven for twenty five the last two weeks. I won't 655 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: have money on this because it is such a tight race, 656 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: but BP showing the advantage Louisiana. I tend to agree 657 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 3: to lean on the offense. So I'm gonna be taking 658 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 3: the cagents here. 659 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: And do you think there will be enough money coming 660 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: in on this game that we're gonna see a lot 661 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: of line movement. 662 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? 663 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: I do, actually, because there already has been line It 664 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 3: looks like ninety five percent cash is on the cagents. Yeah, 665 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: so no one trusting Marshall. Yeah, So get them early 666 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 3: because it's already I think I had it on my 667 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: sheet at four and a half and it's already to five, 668 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, I had to add my sheet at 669 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: four and it's already moved a point. So yeah, go 670 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 3: ahead and take Louisiana early if you want them. 671 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: The ACC Championship will get underway at eight pm in Charlotte, 672 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: North Carolina the eighth ranked SMU Mustangs. They are two 673 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against the eighteenth Ranke Clemson Tigers. 674 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: Clemson five and seven ats this season, they have failed 675 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: to cover in five out of the last six games, 676 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: including a seventeen to fourteen loss last week to the 677 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: South Carolina game Cocks QB kad at Club Nick and 678 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: Phil Maffa their running back really the engines of this team. 679 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: League them to the eighth ranked total offense defense not 680 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: as good this season SMU eight and four ats, and 681 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: are bout as balanced as a team can get twenty 682 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: first in total offense, twenty eighth and total defense. They're 683 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: coming off convincing wins over Cal and Uva where they 684 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: outscored both those teams that combined seventy one to thirteen 685 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: bogs is two and a half points. The best number 686 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: we'll see four Rett lash Lee's team here. 687 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: I think so. 688 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 3: I mean, tickets and cash are split about right down 689 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 3: the middle on this game right now. And while I 690 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 3: don't like Clemson and what they've done this year, I 691 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 3: definitely undersold them against South Carolina. 692 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 2: They made that a really close game. 693 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: And still should have been favored though. 694 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they shouldn't have been and they're not in 695 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: this game. 696 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 2: So they've lost three. 697 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 3: Straight against the spread. Here Clemson hats and SMU is 698 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: not in previous to a slip. They nearly lost that 699 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 3: game against Duke earlier this year, and you know, their 700 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 3: their blemish was BYU, which at the time we thought 701 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 3: was a horrible loss. 702 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: Right, them all bad after that one. 703 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 3: I was man like, I couldn't believe they made that 704 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 3: switch a quarterback so fast against like Nevada was supposed 705 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 3: to be bad this year and they are still not good. 706 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 3: But you know, they made that game close, and Preston 707 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 3: Stone got benched. They went to Jennings and they started 708 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 3: Stone again and they lost to BYU. And BYU supposed 709 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 3: to be the worst team in the Big twelve, right, 710 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 3: and it looked bad and I was I was like, 711 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 3: what is happening to SMU? Well, now we know BYU 712 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 3: is one of the better teams in the Big twelve, 713 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 3: so that loss doesn't look nearly as bad as it 714 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 3: did to start. And that Duke game, Jennings turned the 715 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 3: ball over five times in that game and they still won. 716 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 3: So even though the offense draws the eyes for Smu, 717 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 3: the defense, I like them to get the klubnik in 718 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 3: harass him. They've had their eleventh and sacks of at 719 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 3: thirty seven this year. I think they're gonna keep them 720 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 3: at bay like South Carolina did last week. Kevin Jennings 721 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 3: not turning the ball over it is the big key 722 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 3: in this game. Clemson is eleventh and turnovers for so 723 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 3: since the Mustangs are undefeated in games of Jennings starts, 724 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take SMU. But it's going to be a 725 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 3: tough game. Clemson is still dangerous because this is it. 726 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 3: I don't think Clemson gets in with the resume, especially 727 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 3: with the loss here, so I feel like they have 728 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 3: to win the ACC title to get into the tournament here, 729 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 3: so we're gonna see their best effort. 730 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 2: It should be a close game, but I still like 731 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 2: the Ponies. Give me the Mustangs. 732 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: Do we know where the money's coming in here at all? 733 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 2: Yeah? 734 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 3: I mean it's it's split right down the middle. Okay, 735 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if we're gonna get something. We're getting 736 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 3: a little more on the under than the over in 737 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 3: this game, but tickets in cash right now are split 738 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 3: as of Monday morning. 739 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 2: Straight down the middle. 740 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: Let's round out the program with the Big Ten Championship 741 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: game in Lucas Oil State. The top ranked Oregon Ducks 742 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: are coming into Indianapolis as a three and a half 743 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: point favorite over the third ranked Penn State Nitney Lions. 744 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: Oregon has a perfect record and is looking to win 745 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: the title in their first year in the conference. Dylan Gabriel, 746 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: Jordan James Tez Johnson have led this offense to the 747 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: twenty first ranked total offense and also they have the 748 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: seventh ranked total defense. I know the Internet, there's a 749 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: lot of mixed opinions on how good this Oregon defense is. 750 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: I still think they're really good. Honestly, the Nitty Lions 751 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: have backed their way in to this game after Ohio 752 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: State lost to Michigan. Thank you Ohio State for doing 753 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: something right for me once in my life. But they 754 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: only lost to the Buckeys. That was the only lost 755 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: this season. That was a game they could have easily 756 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: won as well. This offense, led by quarterback Drew Aller, 757 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Warren, and two of the best running 758 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: backs in the nation with Nicholas Singleton and k Tron Allen. 759 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: They are ranked nineteenth in total offense. Their defense includes 760 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: game wreckers like Abdol Carter, who's a projected top ten pick, 761 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: and Deny Dennis Sutton. They are ranked fifth in total 762 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: defense bogs. This is the most complete Penn State team 763 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: I've seen since all the way back in that twenty 764 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: sixteen season when we won the Big Ten championship. Is 765 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: there a number we could see that would actually give 766 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: us value on them. Both the Nitty Lions and the 767 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: Ducks are six and six ats this season. 768 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're we're kind of already showing a 769 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 3: slight shade towards Penn State BPS in this But to me, 770 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 3: it's gonna be which quarterback makes the big play down 771 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 3: field because both these quarterbacks are somewhat conservative in plays downfield. 772 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, the defenses matchup. Well, I'm trying 773 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 3: to see something that would have me automatically take Oregon 774 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 3: like my I want to lean towards Oregon again. I 775 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 3: think they're one of the more disrespected number one teams 776 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 3: that's been number one for so long. Yeah, they just 777 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 3: haven't played many big matchups, which makes them scary going 778 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 3: into this game. And I do think Penn State can 779 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 3: win this. Maybe this week, when I'm digging a little 780 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 3: bit deeper, I'll find something that will give me a 781 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 3: lean towards the side. But right now, I just I 782 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 3: like the over. I think both teams are going to 783 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 3: be able to score a little bit. The money's pointing 784 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 3: in so far on the under, So if you like 785 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: the over, I think you can sit on it and 786 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 3: wait as well. So for me, right now, I'm just 787 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 3: kind of waiting to see which way the line moves 788 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 3: because right now it is heavy in Oregon's favorite figure 789 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: for money, and it's as actually has flipped. 790 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 2: It was way on the under last night. 791 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 3: I think somebody placed a big bet on the over 792 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 3: here because now it's ninety one percent cash on the over. 793 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 3: So maybe if you want the over, you need to 794 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 3: get on it a little bit sooner than I initially 795 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 3: thought here. So but yeah, I don't like the side here. 796 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 3: If it's going to open up and it's going to 797 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 3: get to five more points than that for Oregon, then 798 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 3: I'm definitely gonna take Penn State. But yeah, right now, 799 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: the over is my favorite play. I don't have a 800 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 3: really good feel for this game. Organ hasn't been challenged 801 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 3: that much this year, right Boise State game is Scare, 802 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 3: Ohio State game of Scare. After that, they beat everybody 803 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 3: else into the dirt. So I do think they're a 804 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 3: really good team, and I think they deserve this ranking, 805 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 3: But they have to prove it and to keep your 806 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 3: by to stick with it, you have to prove it 807 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 3: and beat a good Penn State team, and I do 808 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 3: expect them to do that, but I don't know if 809 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 3: it's gonna be buy more than a field goal. So 810 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 3: if we're gonna get more than that, I think I'm 811 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 3: gonna be taking your nitty alliance here. 812 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: I think what decides this game is how the Penn 813 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: State defensive line holds up against this Oregon offensive line. 814 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: Because the one time we saw Gabriel struggle was in Wisconsin, 815 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: right where they were getting after him a little bit. 816 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: And if Abdol Carter denied Dennis Sutton and the Boys 817 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: can get after him, I don't know. 818 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. 819 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: It's interesting, it's interesting. I'm curious to see him be 820 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: a good game. Yeah. Yeah, I'm blessed.
