Ready to rock and roll? 15 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 5: I was completely focused for this recording here and then 16 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 5: Buffalo is getting blown up again. This Penn State line 17 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 5: min as will be one hundred. Anybody's gonna buy Penn State. 18 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 5: No one's taking a ticket on Buffalo. 19 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: When am I gonna jump in? I just don't know. 20 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: All Right, we're starting off today talking about Buffalo football. 21 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna start talking about the Bills, 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: but now we're talking about the Bulls. We're gonna get 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: to that game. Maybe I have no feel there. Maybe 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: Colin will get to that, but we're We'll obviously get 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: to the two marquee games of this weekend with Texas 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: A and M Clemson and LSU Texas. I'm sure Colin 27 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: has a lot to say about LSU Texas. We'll also 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: get to some of the FCSFBS matchups that we like. 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: We'll all do our moneyline parlay where we each picked 30 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: two money line underdogs which should have hit last week, 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: as we always do, and then we'll go through some 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: of the games that we like, so you know, some 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: of our favorite bets this weekend. But let's start with 34 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: one of my favorite segments that we do each week 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: on Thursday's episode, and let's look Ahead or look Away Hangovers, 36 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: Sleepers and the dreaded sandwich spot. 37 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 5: Is it time to look ahead or look away? 38 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: We look at next week and we say, okay, is 39 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: there any games next weekend? Are there any games next 40 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: weekend that'll impact this week? Whereas a team might be looking. 41 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 4: Ahead, they might pull their starters a little early. 42 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: With a big game on deck, it might eat into 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: their prep time this week. So let's look at a 44 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: few of those this week The one that really jumps 45 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: out a game that's been getting a lot of pub 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: I think because of the line movement is Syracuse at 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: Maryland and Syracuse. You know, they got that win against 48 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: Liberty last week. This is a second straight road game 49 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: and guess what next week they host Clemson, So you 50 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: want to talk about a sandwich sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches. 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: This is a tough spot for them. You know, is 52 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: Syracuse going to be completely focused for this game? Do 53 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: you trust Maryland? What do you see here with cues Maryland? 54 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely look ahead spot here for Syracuse. With Clemson 55 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 5: on deck possibly going to get game day. I think 56 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 5: it's kind of up to for debate between that and Ames. 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 5: So we'll see how the games turn out this weekend. 58 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 5: But I make this game. 59 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: As a pick. 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 5: But you know, you could tell just from Maryland and 61 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 5: the number of explosive plays they had with Josh Jackson, 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 5: the way that they looked with mikeel Loxley. You know, 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 5: they look like a win the National Championship, which is 64 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 5: Maryland's MO the first week of every season because they've 65 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 5: usually been playing Texas. It helps when you play Howard 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 5: Steam from a dog to a favorite seventy nine zero 67 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 5: win over Howard. That doesn't really tell me much about 68 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: how good their offenses, doesn't tell me much about how 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 5: good their defense is. The Turps didn't give up a sack, 70 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 5: so that's a good thing against Howard. And you know, 71 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: as far as Syracuse goes, they were the benefit of 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 5: for Liberty turnovers. I know we took a lot of 73 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: heat for the not you know, for Liberty not covering 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 5: the nineteen, but I mean, that's going to happen when 75 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 5: Hugh Freees doing everything in his bedpan, I'm sorry, his 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 5: hospital bed up in the press box, just collecting a 77 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: paycheck and then you know, waving at Dino goodbye. As 78 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 5: they gave up four turnovers and they're kicking punts with 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: ninety seconds left. So you know, the Flames went three 80 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 5: for sixteen on third down and they had two hundred 81 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: and thirty four yards passing, So they didn't really show 82 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 5: like the extent of what we've seen Liberty do before. 83 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 5: So Syracuse's defense looks good after Liberty, but it doesn't 84 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 5: really show the fact that you know, Tommy DeVito's this 85 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 5: isn't Eric Dungee. This team isn't as dangerous as the 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 5: past Orange teams. And you know, I think that this 87 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: is something where Maryland can run circles around them just 88 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 5: from an explosiveness factor and actually preventing explosiveness. So you know, 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: if you look at Syracuse closer, their center Sam Heckel, 90 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 5: he's questionable for the game. It's kind of a big 91 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 5: loss a center on the offensive line. And like I said, 92 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 5: I made it a pick. I think it's moved past 93 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 5: the number that I have. But it won't matter if Maryland, 94 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: if this is a blowout, it won't matter if it's 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: one or two or two and a half. 96 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: I played Maryland here at plus one and a half. 97 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's a good situational spot. But something 98 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: was just completely And I watched most of that game 99 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: last week, that Liberty Syracuse game, and you know, Liberty 100 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: not only they have a bunch of turners, they missed 101 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: a field goal, but they were able to move the 102 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: ball down the field at times, even with an offensive 103 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: line that just got completely abused. To me, the biggest 104 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: question this week is can Maryland's offensive line hold off, 105 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: because what it showed me last week is they have 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: a quarterback now who can throw the ball down field, 107 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: and it's going to give them balance to their offense 108 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: at which they haven't always had. 109 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 4: You know, we obviously know they have the explosive runners. 110 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: But ken their offensive line hold up against Syracuse, which 111 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: has a doc Syracuse might have the best defensive line 112 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: in the ACC with Clemson right now this second. 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 4: It's the strength of their team. They dominated the game 114 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: against Liberty. 115 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: Now, Maryland has more talent on the offensive line than 116 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: Liberty and more talent overall. But the thing that got 117 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: me is Syracuse's offense just looks so off from a 118 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: timing perspective. They were missing routes. The you know, Devido 119 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: is missing reads and you know, missing easy rose and 120 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: let's wrap up Clemson, excuse me, Syracuse, Maryland. I like Maryland. 121 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: Anything under three, I think they get the job done. 122 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: The offensive line is going to get tested. I think 123 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: they have enough. I think the Syracuse you know, offense 124 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: is still going to be out of rhythm. There might 125 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: be a look ahead factor here, but I like the Terps. 126 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 5: It's a no play for Syracuse. For me, Maryland is 127 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 5: the team that I would be on here. I would 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 5: actually have a slight lean to the under as I 129 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 5: projected just a few points shorter, but nothing that I've 130 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: played yet. 131 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: All right, now, one of the other look at our 132 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: look away spots that I had circled here is pit Ohio. 133 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: Now this is a fascinating game for a number of reasons. 134 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: We're both high on Ohio and the MAC and Pitt 135 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: opened its season with a conference loss, which is, you know, 136 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: never ideal, and then they have They're at Penn State 137 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: next week, you know, and then they have Ohio coming 138 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: to town this week. One of the things that jumped 139 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: out at me last week when I was going through 140 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: the box score and we talked about this was. 141 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 4: Pitt, Who's normally a tear that wants to run the ball. 142 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: But obviously they brought an offensive coordator, Mark Whipple from 143 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: UMass who loves to throw it. They didn't run the 144 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: ball at all last week. So is there a conflict 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: in that locker room with Narduzi and Whipple? Is he 146 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: going to want to run the ball more. I'm really 147 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: fascinated to see the play split this week. But you 148 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: know this game, you know, does Pitt show up for 149 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: are they you know, do they have a letdown? Are 150 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: they're looking ahead a little bit to Penn State. Pretty 151 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: fascinating game between Pitt and Ohio. What do you see here? 152 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they do show up to this game. 153 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 5: I think Pitt does show up to this game because 154 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 5: they lost last week. And you're right, the run pass 155 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: ratio should be absolutely fascinating because Whipple was running his 156 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: offense and in the second half, Picketts started just getting 157 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: drilled on every single play. And that's when Nardozzi came 158 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 5: out and said, Hey, you know, we've got to run 159 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 5: the ball more, We've got to protect our quarterback more. 160 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 5: And I think even myself, I was a little caught 161 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: off guard by this. By this line, it opened up. 162 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 5: I made this game, you know, larger than seven. I 163 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 5: made this game somewhere around up at twelve, while some 164 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 5: of the other power rating systems out there had this 165 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 5: down round four, which is where the number is, which 166 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: is I wonder if it gravitated that way, Which is 167 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 5: baffling to me, because what you're telling me is the 168 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: team that just won the ACC Coastal at home, if 169 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: you take away home field advantage, is basically even with 170 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 5: the team from the MAC, which is just crazy to me. 171 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: So if I look at this, Pitt led Virginia fourteen 172 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 5: to thirteen and a half. They were ahead of Virginia 173 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 5: fourteen to thirteen at half, would they still be minus four? 174 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 5: You know, if they'd held on and won that game 175 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 5: against Ohio at home, if they'd have won against Virginia. 176 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 5: So what happened was is Virginia went into the locker 177 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: room and Bronco Mendenhall came up with a plan to 178 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 5: run a blitz on every single down against the four 179 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 5: new offensive linemen that Pitt has. Virginia had three touchdowns 180 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 5: that came from drives that started with field position in 181 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: Pitt territory. They started at the pit twenty nine, twenty seven. 182 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: And nineteen. 183 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 5: Not very hard to score when you're getting the ball 184 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 5: right there. So yeah, Nardoozia made comments at his quarterback, 185 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: you know, needs to be protected more. But they're not 186 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 5: going to get attacked that way from Ohio. The Bobs 187 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 5: front seven. They're not gonna be able to tack like 188 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 5: Virginia does. Virginia was top twenty and overall team Havoc 189 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: last year. They're one of the most choking defenses in 190 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 5: the tire FBS. Ohio's not going to be able to 191 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: do that. 192 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: Same thing. You know, when I look at this and 193 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 3: look into this a little bit more. 194 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 5: Whipple he knows Ohio, he knows Solis really well. He 195 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 5: scored forty two against him last year with UMass. He 196 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 5: scored fifty against him two years ago. So the points 197 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 5: pray it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. I 198 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 5: think I'm the only person in the world that's on Pitt. 199 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 5: So yeah, Pitt minus four for me. Whipple's gonna put 200 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 5: up points here. Probably an even run pass distribution in 201 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 5: Ohio's defense is not gonna be able to attack the 202 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 5: way Virginia does. 203 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: After what happened last week. The total's been jumping around 204 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: here every time I look at it. Sometimes it's at 205 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: fifty five, then I'll be fifty three and a half 206 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: and fifty four. So I think there's some disagreement in 207 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: the market or maybe some shaping as to what's going 208 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: to happen here. But because I think the outcome of 209 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: this game, and especially the total will be will come 210 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: down to, you know, the play distribution for Pitt. 211 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: So it's an interesting game to keep an eye on. 212 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: Another one that I wanted to touch on here is 213 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: a team that's in my backyard. I actually just flew 214 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: back home this morning and got into Lexington. We're talking 215 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: about Kentucky, who is now in the MAC. I think 216 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: so they played another MAC team to start the year. 217 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: They're two tucked there over. 218 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Two touchdown favorite fourteen, a half point favorite against Eastern Michigan. 219 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: They covered last week against Toledo as a double digit favorite, 220 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: but got really fortunate in doing so. Toledo's quarterback got hurt. 221 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan coming off of a win. The question here 222 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: is is Kentucky looking ahead to Florida and SEC play 223 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: next week in their next game, one of the better 224 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: games next weekend. Em, you got a win, but it 225 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: might have been a little fraudulent. I think you mentioned 226 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: that as well. 227 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: Do you have any feel here, Yeah, there's a lot 228 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 5: of there's a huge contingency outside of you and me. 229 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 3: That's all over Coastal this week. 230 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 5: And I can't do it because, em, you got that 231 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 5: win because Fred Payton had four interceptions for Coastal, So 232 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: you know that wasn't like Eastern Michigan went in there 233 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 5: and really had had a decent box scores, a fraud 234 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 5: box score. Speaking of Kentucky, you know Wilson. Terry Wilson 235 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 5: can't make a good decision to throw in the ball with. 236 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 5: That's something we knew about last year, was just kind 237 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 5: of hidden by the fact that they had, you know, 238 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 5: really good receivers. They had a good you know, Benny 239 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: Snol junior and one of the best defenses to you know, 240 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: back them up. But I don't trust this Kentucky team. 241 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 5: Their box score is a little fraudulent. I definitely don't 242 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 5: trust Eastern Michigan. That box score is a little fraudulent. 243 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 5: So this is a stay away game for me. 244 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: All right, let me go through two other ones quickly. 245 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: Here and look at her look away category. 246 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 4: Oregons. 247 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: We talked about this a couple of weeks ago, Oregon 248 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: State one when Hawaii beat Arizona. You know Hawaii who apparently, 249 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: so we have Kentucky is now on the MAC and 250 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: Hawaii is now in the PAC twelve is what I'm seeing. 251 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: So they Hawaii started with Arizona, they have Oregon State, 252 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: and then next week they go to Washington. So you figure, 253 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, hey, is Hawaii going to be completely focused here? 254 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: They have had a lot of time off. The Oregon 255 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: State defense to me still looked atrocious. I needed seven. 256 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: It's kind of flirting with seven and maybe touches it juiced. 257 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: But before I even I don't think I'll consider Hawaii here, 258 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: but I would need seven with the beads to consider them. 259 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 4: You have any feel here on the island. 260 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've already taken Oregon State plus seven. You 261 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 5: guys can go to the Action Network app anytime stuck 262 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 5: and I make a play, you'll get a notification right away. 263 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 5: And when that thing was clipping seven earlier in the week, yeah, 264 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 5: I had to have it. And the reason is because 265 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 5: I don't understand this point spread either. So explain to 266 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 5: me how Hawaii is a plus eleven dog against Arizona 267 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 5: at home and now they're a seven point favorite against 268 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 5: Arizona State at home. You're telling me that there is 269 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 5: an eighteen point difference between Arizona's power rating and Orgon's 270 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: power rating. No, there's not an eighteen point gap between 271 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 5: Oregon State and Arizona. In my power ratings S and 272 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 5: P plus, there's a six point gap between Arizona and 273 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 5: Oregon State FPI. There's an eight point gap between Oregon 274 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: State and Hawaii. I think this point spread is complete overreaction. 275 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 5: I think Oklahoma State is just in another league. It's 276 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 5: hard to base Oregon State on that game. Both Jamar 277 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 5: Jefferson and Artavius Pierce ran for more than five yards 278 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 5: per carry. 279 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: On Oklahoma State. 280 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 5: They're going to be able to run on the ground 281 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 5: and control clock and move the chains, you know. And 282 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 5: if I was playing college fantasy football, I'd take Artavis Pierce. 283 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 5: I mean, his highlight yards per carrie were sixteen point 284 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 5: two four, which means he did a lot for himself, 285 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: not what his offensive line gave him. He's able to 286 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 5: make a lot happen when he runs the ball. Well, 287 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: this line is just outrageous. It's just complete overreaction to way. 288 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: The other one I wanted to mention was it's kind 289 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: of an odd game Arkansas State. You know, they open 290 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: up with a loss. Next week they're at Georgia and 291 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: in the interim this week they're going to UNLV A 292 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: very odd game that I can't figure out that it's 293 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's basically a pick. I think Arkansas State 294 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: is a one and a half point favorite. 295 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: Here. 296 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: Do you have any feel here on now your boys 297 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: from Jonesborough. 298 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to know. Where their head is at. 299 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 5: I mean from a power rating perspective, I have this 300 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 5: game at seven in favor of Arkansas State, so you 301 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 5: would think that you would want to play them, But 302 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 5: with kind of what's been going on off the field 303 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 5: with the coach and then the performance they put up 304 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 5: against SMU last week, definitely a turnover discrepancy there I 305 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: think they had. Arkansas State had three turnovers to SMU's one. 306 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 5: SMU had a completely brand new offensive line in Arkansas 307 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 5: State's defensive line couldn't do anything with it whatsoever. So 308 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 5: it's hard for me to say that since Arkansas State 309 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 5: couldn't take advantage of an SMU offensive line that was 310 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: completely brand new, does that make me think that they're 311 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 5: going to go to UNLV and be able to put 312 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 5: the hurt on a team that predominantly likes to rush 313 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 5: all the time against Harmoni Rodgers. So I'm not back 314 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 5: in Arkansas State in this position. And the numbers two, 315 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: the numbers, you know, not not good enough for me 316 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 5: to take UNLV fair enough. 317 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: All right, So let's move on to the games that 318 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: we wanted to cover. So it's really before we get 319 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: to Texas A and m Clemson LSU Texas. It's still 320 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: some of the more high profile games and door games 321 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: that we really like. It's another fabulous weekend of college football. 322 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Let's check out the marquee matchups we'll all end up 323 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: betting for Week two. Let's start with an in state 324 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: all Ohio battle with Cincinnati Ohio State. This line, I 325 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: think Ohio State's fifteen and a half, sixteen point favorite 326 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: at home. The thing that rule and Cincinnati is obviously 327 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: coming off that win against UCLA. They do benefit from 328 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: a couple extra days here that they had for prep 329 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: and rest. The thing that really worries me about this 330 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: game is this since and by the way, this game 331 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: is a matchup of two of the best PLA. So 332 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: if you love special teams like me, you're excited to 333 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: watch the punting in this game, which could you know, 334 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: flip field position. But what scares me to death about 335 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: this game is Cincinnati's offensive line. They were at home 336 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: in the season opener committing numerous fall starts. They have 337 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: two freshmen on the offensive line, and that's going against UCLA. 338 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: Now they're gonna go to Ohio State against that defensive line. 339 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: They can't get behind the sticks with dumb penalties number one. 340 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to establish the ground game. They're gonna 341 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: have to run the ball. Their defensive line is somehow 342 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to play as well as did against UCLA 343 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: and again against better talent. But that offensive line really 344 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: scares me. In that stadium, I don't think I could 345 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: consider Cincinnati unless you're gonna dangle you know, a seventeen 346 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: plus seventeen and a half out there, which I don't 347 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: necessarily think it's gonna get there. Good measuring stick for Cincy, 348 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: but the trenches do concern me. 349 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 4: What do you see here? 350 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, they'd have to hang at twenty one before I'd 351 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 5: even consider I've got this game at twenty. Cannot back 352 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 5: Cincinnati in this in this situation. You know, everything that 353 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 5: I'm reading this week from people that are putting content 354 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 5: out there, they're missing, They're missing the point, they're missing 355 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 5: what they should be saying. Cincinnati's D is tough, Cincinnati's 356 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 5: D is tough. Wait, let's clarify that Cincinnati's rush d 357 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: is tough. Cincinnati against the pass is not the same. 358 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 5: Cincinnati was outside the top one hundred against pass explosiveness 359 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 5: last year. That's the problem. Dorian Thompson Robinson, he can't 360 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 5: expose that Ucla couldn't take advantage of what Cincinnati's real 361 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 5: weakness is. But I got news for you. Justin Fields 362 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 5: feasted on explosive plays against FAU, three TD passes of 363 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 5: twenty five yards or more in the first quarter. The 364 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 5: Ohio State defense was, you know, their most vulnerable against 365 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: big runs. But FAU couldn't expose that since these running 366 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 5: backs they didn't have a run over fifteen yards against Ucla. 367 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 5: To me, this game screams Cincinnati comes out with all 368 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 5: this heart and this emotion and then after maybe three series, 369 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 5: Ohio State just runs away with it because Justin Field 370 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 5: is gonna be able to throw all over the secondary 371 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 5: of Cincinnati and they're not gonna you know, it's a 372 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,359 Speaker 5: really bad mismatch in my eyes. 373 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 1: Plus days at Herban Meyer Disciples. So if he has 374 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: a chance to, you know, keep his foot on the 375 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: proverbial throat, he certainly will against Cincinnati. A game that 376 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: I think we both agree on. We mentioned earlier in 377 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: the week. It's probably one of my favorite games this 378 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: weekend from a betting perspective, and that's Michigan Army. So look, 379 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: one of my rules of thumb that I you know, 380 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't follow religiously is that it's you know, it's 381 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: tough to fade the Service academies as a large underdog. 382 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: They've been great as underdogs, are terrible as favorites. We 383 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: saw that last week with Right and the reason is 384 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: they just bleed the clock. Like let's let's look at 385 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma game last year when Army played them and 386 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: took Oklahoma two overtime. What happened was Kyler Murray threw 387 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: a pick in the second half, the Army turned around 388 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: and then went on like a twelve you know, an 389 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: eight nine minute drive, and then Oklahoma you know, punted 390 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: it and Army went on like a sixteen minute drive. 391 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: So the two drives were twenty minutes of the second 392 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: half in game time. That's what Army last year did 393 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: and that's why it's so hard to cover as a 394 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: favor because the clock running, your limiting possessions the biggest 395 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: difference with the Army. And you saw this in the 396 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: Rice game. I screamed it out of the first quarter. 397 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 4: I tweeted it. 398 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: I said, this Army Offen is gonna take an enormous 399 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: step back. And the reason is their full back position, 400 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: and that you know, people say the fullback, how important 401 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: could it be? 402 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 4: The option? 403 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: It's everything, you know, you know, you see every every 404 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: time when you run an option, they either handed the 405 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: fullback or you fake it to them. Well, if the 406 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: defense isn't afraid at that full back, then you can 407 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: cheat to the outside. And this threat of this dive 408 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: doesn't do anything. And they lost two great full backs 409 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: and you know, the one who was supposed to take 410 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: over this year, Slomanko is hurt, and McCoy just didn't 411 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: look right, and that offense scuffled against Rice. So I 412 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: just don't see them moving the ball, you know, and 413 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: I don't see them having these long, extended drives against 414 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: Michigan and the flip side Army's defense, I think is 415 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna take a big step back. I think Michigan really 416 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: wants to refine this offense, and just the athletes they had, 417 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: they would if they spread out Army, they can have 418 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: a field day here with the athletic differential. I think 419 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: Michigan rolls. I don't think Armies score louch. I think 420 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: we're just going to keep decreasing Army in the power 421 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: raids over the next couple weeks with this offense, I 422 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: think this is like, you know, thirty four seven ish. 423 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 4: What do you see? 424 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? I agree with you. 425 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: I mean you're hitting the nail right on the head, 426 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 5: especially with the handicap on the full back. If the 427 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 5: fullback dive is broken, then nothing else is going to work. 428 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 5: As the linebackers can cheat, and they can take away 429 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 5: the quarterback option, they can take away the pitch. Listen, 430 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 5: I make this game thirty two minutes and nine seconds. 431 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 4: That's it. 432 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 3: That's how long you had to grab a twenty one. 433 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 5: It's been twenty two, the lowest of twenty two. 434 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: At most books. 435 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: One book had it go to twenty one for two 436 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 5: minutes and nine seconds. 437 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 4: I got it. 438 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't even. 439 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 5: Get lugged in, So at twenty two is the best 440 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 5: I could do. If I ever see a twenty one, 441 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: I'll hit it. But listen, I make this game thirty. 442 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: Army needed a touchdown late to take the lead on Rice. 443 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 5: Rice tried to kick a field goal from the twenty, 444 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 5: which should have beat them if Rice would have hit 445 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 5: their two other field goals. You know, I mean they 446 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 5: got all the way down to the twenty six and 447 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 5: couldn't convert a fourth and one. It just would have 448 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 5: been a different game if Rice would have made those 449 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: other two field goals. But like we said about this, 450 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 5: you know what we saw from the offense in Michigan 451 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 5: last week was a lot of passes out to the flats. 452 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 5: They want to create wide receivers in space. They want 453 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: to use the athleticism, but they have with their wide receivers, 454 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 5: you know, to get down the field, which is what 455 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 5: they were trying to show they did. There wasn't a 456 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 5: lot of throws downfield, but there was a lot of 457 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 5: trying to get the wide receivers out in space. They 458 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 5: do against Rice, They're not going to have any problems. 459 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 5: I think the one thing that people aren't paying attention 460 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 5: to is that Army loss their defensive coordinator, Ja Bateman. 461 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 5: He went to UNC, which it's already paying dividends there 462 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 5: for them, and that went over South Carolina. You know, 463 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 5: Michigan's going to go into a buye after this. So 464 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 5: I don't expect them to take their foot off the pedal. 465 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 5: I expect them to want to get Josh Gatis's system 466 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 5: going as. 467 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: Much as possible. 468 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 5: I don't think they were happy with the way Middle 469 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 5: Tennessee State started. They're going to want to do more 470 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 5: of getting out in you know, into space and let 471 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 5: the wide receivers do the thing. But defensively, Army, if 472 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 5: the fullback dive is broken, you're not going anywhere against 473 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 5: this Michigan front seven. 474 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a blowout. 475 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 5: I'd be I'm almost be shocked if Army got double 476 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 5: digits and points. 477 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 4: Yup, I'm with you. I mean, it was just so 478 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 4: telling on the first Army drive third and one. 479 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: Obviously they go for like fourth to one from the twelve, 480 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: but third and one, fourth and one just stuffed by Rice. 481 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: That is not a good sign for Army this year, 482 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: where who I don't think is is gonna get anywhere 483 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: close to double digits to keep that streak alive, even 484 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: though they have ridiculously easy schedule. All right, let's move 485 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: on to another pretty intriguing game this weekend because of 486 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: what happened last week, and that is in the acc 487 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: between Miami and UNC, all of a sudden UNC went. 488 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 4: From you know, how bad are they gonna be? All 489 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 4: these changes they're rebuilding to. All right? 490 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: They beat South Carolina's eleven point dogs in Week one. 491 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: You know, Miami obviously lost that tough game to Florida. 492 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: They've had extra prep time here, but you know we 493 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: mentioned Jay Bateman. It's a natural transition here into UNC, 494 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: who took over as defensive cordator. 495 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 4: UNC. 496 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: They have Phil Longo is the offensive coordinator who's kind of, 497 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, revamping. 498 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 4: That entire offense. 499 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: And it really came down to Sam Howe and you know, 500 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: the freshman that they really pilfered from Florida, from Florida State, 501 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: and you know is UNC Legit was that a flute game? 502 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: You like the dog here? 503 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 504 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 5: I love North Carolina in the spot. I don't think 505 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 5: we know how good North Carolina actually is. The hiring 506 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 5: of Phil Longo, which was old Missus offensive coordinator. He 507 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 5: is now the offensive coordinator for UNC. They had so 508 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 5: many explosive plays. Sam how the freshman had four different 509 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 5: receivers for explosive plays. Three different running backs had gains 510 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: of twenty two yards or more. Phil Longo's doing his job. 511 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 5: He's taken what he did at Ole miss last year 512 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: and he's got it translated over to North Carolina with 513 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 5: a freshman quarterback, and they did it against a defense 514 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 5: with South Carolina that's not terrible by any means. So 515 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 5: the defense, on the other hand, led by Jay Bateman, 516 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 5: come and from army. They picked off Bentley in each 517 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 5: of his two final drives in the game. You know, 518 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 5: they catching Miami here off of a bye week. I 519 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 5: think that there's still plenty of questions. Jared Williams is 520 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 5: gonna throw down the field, is bo Dallas going to 521 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 5: have more out of the Wildcat? And if all of 522 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 5: it goes wrong, is Danny's gonna throw his team under 523 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 5: the bus again to save his ass? So this is 524 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 5: really a big matchup, you know, for for Manny Diaz, 525 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 5: he's gonna be high emotions because he got fired by 526 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: Mac Brown back at Texas long ago. So I think 527 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 5: this is a game that both head coaches are quietly 528 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 5: being very being very nice to each other in the media. 529 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 5: I think they both want to beat each other pretty bad. 530 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 5: I don't Miami's offense is not as explosive as North Carolina. 531 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: North Carolina has got to deal with a really good defense. 532 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 5: But at the same time, I just think we do 533 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: not know how good this Sam how kid is and 534 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 5: exactly how explosive the North Carolina offense will be. 535 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the line looks about right. 536 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, when all said and done, it's just you're 537 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna get a best effort game from Miami. 538 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: You know. 539 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: I think it's just a bad time to buy UNC 540 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: after week, so I think I'll be staying away there. 541 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 4: And let's let's. 542 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: Go rapid fire before we get to the two market 543 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: games in Texas A and m Clemson and LSU Texas Bob's. 544 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: We're going back to the bobs this week. Texas State Wyoming. 545 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? 546 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: Texas State, Texas State. 547 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 4: I got them at seven and a half. I know 548 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 4: you like them. Nothing's changed there with Texas State Wyoming. 549 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 5: Right, Nope, make the number eight and a half. I 550 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 5: like Texas State. They get a little bit of extra rest. 551 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 5: Missouri had a whole bunch of turnovers against Wyoming. They 552 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 5: even fumbled at the one yard line and Mimi, Missouri, 553 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 5: I've gained them by one hundred and fifty yards. Wyoming 554 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 5: didn't win that game. Missouri gave it up. 555 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: You know. 556 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 5: Wyoming's preparing for both the Vitt and Jensen and Wyoming 557 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 5: only had two sacks and forty eight Kelly Bryant drop 558 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 5: back so I'm not scared of them at all. 559 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: Texas State all the way. 560 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: Back to the Bob's game that I can't figure out. 561 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: By the way, you know, Texas State is your your team, 562 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: now your responsibility last year one are your teams? 563 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 4: U A B. 564 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean I keep looking at this box score against 565 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: Alabama State. It's as bad as it looks. It wasn't 566 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: even that flucash. They have no one to throw to. 567 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is terrible. I mean, it's a disaster 568 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: that UA B box score, B U A. 569 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 4: B accord. 570 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: Please don't bet that game, people, please, I am begging 571 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: you not to bet it. I know some of you will, 572 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: all right. By here's a game I can't figure out, 573 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: and it is just what I think. It's how do 574 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: these two teams? If you know how these two teams 575 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: are going to rebound, I think you'd have a better 576 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: idea how this team's gonna how this game is gonna go. 577 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: And that's BYU Tennessee. So obviously you have BYU who 578 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: you know after that game happened. And I like Northern 579 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Illinois for this reason. I think getting them over three 580 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: touchdowns there's value there. That's why I bet them and 581 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: I think Utah was a little overvalued in the market 582 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: after a good a good win, but it was pretty fraugile. 583 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: They had a ton of turnovers. They were gifted that 584 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: win and it's the reason to turn into a blowout. 585 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: And b Yu was really right there with Utah. So 586 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: you know, this was a spot that i'd circle. But 587 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: then you have Tennessee who loses at home to Georgia State, 588 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: and you know, so where are the head so to speak, 589 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: of these two teams going to be I can't figure 590 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: this game out. The totals bouncing around to the line, 591 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: I'll go from four to three to four the market, 592 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: I don't think it figure out what they want to 593 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: do here either. 594 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 4: Koog's vals any feel here? 595 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 3: Yeah? I like BYU. 596 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 5: I make the game a pick and so you know, 597 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: I think listen BYU. They can recover from it. From 598 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 5: a loss in the Holy War, I mean they've lost 599 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 5: to him nine times in a row. You know last 600 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 5: year they had a twenty point deficit, lost to BYU. 601 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 3: Heartbreaker. They came back and had a fantastic season. 602 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 5: This year, you know, they were losing nine to six 603 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 5: at halftime, and you know, just three really costly turnovers 604 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 5: that made that score look like it was out of 605 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 5: control when it actually wasn't. Tennessee, on the other hand, 606 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 5: there's no explanation for losing to a Sunbelt team. 607 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 3: How does that happen? How did they get propraised? 608 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 4: They didn't run the ball? They ran the ball? What 609 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 4: ten times against with an sec offensive line against Georgia 610 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 4: State come. 611 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 5: On, Absolutely amazing, especially how much you're paying your offensive 612 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: coordinator after he moved over from Georgia and then you know, 613 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 5: for for Georgia State offensively to be able to win 614 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 5: that game, it's just it's shocking to me. So I 615 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 5: think Byu is not a fraud. Tennessee may be a fraud. 616 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 5: B Yu, I know, is not a fraud. They just 617 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 5: you know, they had the whole Holy War turnover curse 618 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 5: thing going on there. 619 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: So I'm back at BYU here. 620 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 5: I'm making a pick. You know, I'd hang out and 621 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 5: see if there's a four. I think a lot of 622 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 5: money's going to be thrown at Tennessee's way, and it 623 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 5: shouldn't be, but that might get us a four out 624 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 5: of this. 625 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: The last one I'll ask you about because it's not 626 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: an official Friday podcast, it's not official until we mentioned 627 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: a team that's now on my shit list, Liberty, who 628 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: let us down, who really should have covered against Syracuse. 629 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: They're now, you know, thirteen thirteen and a half point 630 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: underdogs at Louisiana. I'm really high on Louisiana. They came 631 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: through for me last week against Miss State. You know, 632 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: maybe you think they come out a little flat hair. 633 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: And we've mentioned before that Liberty wants to get up 634 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: for these games. Now, I don't know if Few Freeze 635 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: can get up, but ken Liberty get up for this game? 636 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: That joke is supportant taste. 637 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: Can Liberty? Can they cover here? I just didn't see enough. 638 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna stop. And that's the look. 639 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: Liberty's defense wasn't supposed to be good, which is another 640 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: reason why I'm even more worried about. 641 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 4: That Syracuse offense last week with Devido. You know, their 642 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: offensive line was just atrocious. 643 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: Buckshot got sacked eight times, they get shut out in 644 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: the biggest game in school history, and they're a season 645 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: opener at home. I tend to think our Liberty boys 646 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: are getting blown out here. But it's a terrible it's 647 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: a terrible spot to sell them. But I'll tell you 648 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: one thing. I'm not buying Liberty and Buckshot this week. 649 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: Are you getting invested here? 650 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 5: Well, first off, I hope the I hope the press 651 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 5: box hospital room that they're gonna wheel his his bed 652 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 5: in his air conditioned because Lafayer at this time of 653 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 5: year is sticky and it is hot. Wish who frees 654 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 5: well with wherever he's going to be posted up. Yeah, 655 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 5: we talked about this last year and the big motivating 656 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 5: that you would see a completely different Liberty team whenever 657 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 5: they play made Sun Belt and Conference USA teams. The 658 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 5: reason is because when Liberty became an FBS program, they 659 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 5: wanted to made it public. They wanted to be in 660 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 5: CUSA and they wanted to be in the sun Belt, 661 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 5: and both the conferences said no, no, thanks, we don't 662 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 5: want you. You know, you don't meet these standards, you 663 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 5: can't live up to us. And then last year, if 664 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 5: you look at the games where they played c USA teams, 665 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 5: they played Sun Belt teams, they showed up, pissed and 666 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 5: won games. Made us a lot of money in those situations. 667 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 5: But what can we say their motivation is now? I 668 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 5: mean they don't they're punting the ball away with ninety 669 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 5: seconds left, when you're you're you're you know you're up 670 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 5: twenty you're down twenty four to zero. 671 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 4: Got a chance, excuse for everybody late to call it 672 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 4: the game. 673 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 5: Because I can't trust you guys to play you know, 674 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 5: textbook football play calling, and your coach is you know, 675 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 5: walkie talking and crap in from a you know, from 676 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 5: from a press box. 677 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 3: But he's in a he's in one of those a 678 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: roll up beds. 679 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: Uh. 680 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: You know those folding taco beds that you can buy 681 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 5: late at ninety two am while you're watching your Hawaii game. 682 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 5: Just sleep o manic where you can just your temperature 683 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 5: and shit, I don't want anything to do with liberty. 684 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 5: I can't put any money behind these guys until I 685 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 5: so getting solid, decent play from them. 686 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 3: Again. 687 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fade them and then they're gonna actually not 688 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: pun it with ninety seconds ago and get a backdoor. 689 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: You can already see it coming, all right. 690 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: So before we get to the two Marquee games that 691 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: we've been seizing here, let's get to my favorite segment, 692 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: and that's FC Yes. 693 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 4: Or No. 694 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 5: Southland or SEC Big Sky or Big Ten. 695 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: It's time to play FC Yes or no. 696 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: We look at the most intriguing FCSFBS matchups and you're 697 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: not gonna get the most money down. But if you're 698 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: looking to bet casually, recreationally, or just pick up some 699 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: spare change, or just are interested in the FCSFBS matchups 700 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: as I am, we try to cover a few each week. 701 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: One team that I'll mention here William and Mary. If 702 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: you can get thirty five, I don't know if it's 703 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna pop, but this means a lot to William and Mary. 704 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 4: Their coach used to coach at Virginia. I'm sure they'll 705 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 4: be up for it. 706 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: Virginia's off that win at you know, at Pitt to 707 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: start off their acc in twenty nineteen campaign. 708 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 4: Then they got Florida State on deck. 709 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: We sure have a lot of sandwiches, So. 710 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how much really they're going to care 711 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: about running it up. And you know, Virginia is not 712 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: necessarily the team. The type of team that has the 713 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: offense is just going to explode. So if you can 714 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: get William Marritt thirty five or above, I'd look there. 715 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: But my two favorite are Furman talked about this earlier 716 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: in the week. Anything above a touchdown. I actually think 717 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: they win this game out right against Georgia State, that 718 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: let down after that huge win at Tennessee. But more importantly, 719 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: you know who's actually going to run the ball against 720 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: Georgia State. You know, I don't have to worry about 721 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: not running the ball against Georgia State. That's Furman and 722 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: their triple option. And they're going to run the ball 723 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: against Georgia State, who was one hundred and thirtieth and stuff, right, 724 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: good luck. So you know, I think that Furman here 725 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,239 Speaker 1: wins this game. They're an excellent, excellent FCS team. And 726 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: speaking of excellent FCS teams, Maine, I love Maine Maine. 727 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: I love Maine anything at seven and above this week. 728 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Last year, they went on the road and beat Western Kentucky. 729 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: They really got unlucky against Central Michigan. They could have 730 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: won that game on the road as well. You know, 731 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: the black hole defense. This defense brings back, like everybody, 732 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: like if you look at their two deep, it's like 733 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen guys overturning. I like Maine here. I 734 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: think as long as you can get their their run 735 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: defense was excellent, which is obviously gonna matter against Georgia 736 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: Southern who just looked atrocious last week. So Maine Furman 737 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: and William and Mary, if you can get thirty five 738 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: or above anything for you in the FCS world this weekend. 739 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're missing out on another triple option team. We 740 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 5: got Kent State, you know, coming back from their game 741 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 5: against Arizona State, They're going to play Kinnessaw State. Kennesaw State, 742 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 5: one of the best FCS teams generally makes the playoffs, 743 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 5: gives a lot of people trouble with their triple option. 744 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 5: That number, which I believe we had set ad seven, 745 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 5: got all the way down to one and then took 746 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 5: mass of Kent State money and it's it's back. 747 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 4: Up over four Saron Ravel money. 748 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 5: Darren Ravel money. So I think everybody just needs to 749 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 5: pay attention here to Kennesaw State running triple option. That 750 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 5: is not going to be easy for Kent State to 751 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 5: prepare for if they prepare for it, because they may 752 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 5: not care. 753 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 3: They may be worried about next week. 754 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and who's gonna play I don't know who's going 755 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: to play quarterback? Is what are you back in there 756 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: for Kent State? Who transferred from Auburn, which is who 757 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: Kent State has next week. Speaking of you know, bad teams, 758 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: talking about Kent State. You know they think they could 759 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: be a little improved. That's that's a bad program. You 760 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: Mass who let you down last week against Rutgers. They're 761 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: playing Southern Illinois this week. Southern Illinois got blown out 762 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: last week against CIMO Southeast Missouri, and U messes like 763 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: a field goal favorite at home? Is that really where 764 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: the UMSS program stands right now? A field goal thirty 765 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: three and a half w favorite at home against the 766 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: selukis who just lost by twenty to Simo. 767 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 5: Why are you bagging on Carbondale products man, Carbondale's a 768 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 5: legit city. I had I've had to hang out there before. 769 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 5: It's a great place to have a client. Now, you 770 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 5: mess looked great for the first quarter. I mean I 771 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 5: even tweeted out I thought they might win the national championship. 772 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 4: I don't that tweet did not age well. 773 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 5: I know it went down really fast. So yeah, we'll 774 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 5: see if you mask can pick it up. 775 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 4: And go like Rubs in the second quarter. How do 776 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 4: you like thirty one nothing in a quarter? 777 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 5: And now people are backing Rutgers with money, real actual money, 778 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 5: not monopoly money. Real cash money, and so anyways, we'll 779 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 5: see how it turns out for both teams. 780 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the two marquee games here. 781 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: The first we'll cover is Texas A and M at Clemson. 782 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: You know this line sitting around seventeen. I think it opened, 783 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, some softer opens around twenty. I took seventeen 784 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: and a half. Anything at seventeen and above. I like, Look, 785 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: I was so impressed with Kellen Mond last week. But 786 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: the thing is is that Texas A and M's all, 787 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: they had a solid offensive line. We saw last week. 788 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: The Compson's defense is going to take a step back, 789 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: at least initially up front. Right, they lost all that 790 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: NFL talent Georgia Tech was, you know, their designed runs 791 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: for their running back. They were able to move the 792 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: ball a little bit, a lot more than I thought 793 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: they would be. And you know, Texas A and M 794 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: is the one team on Clemson's schedule that has as 795 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: much you know, not as much, but close, really close 796 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: talent wise. You know the four stars, the five stars. 797 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: These two coaches know each other well. I just think this, 798 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: you know what it comes down to, TEXASM I think 799 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the better special team's advantage, which could 800 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: have a role on who covers. 801 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 4: I think, just think this line is too high. I had. 802 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: I made Clemson a two touchdown plus favor in every 803 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 1: single one of their games this year. In this one, 804 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: I make them a two touchdown favor So if I 805 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: can get over seventeen or more, I'm rolling with Texas 806 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: A and M. 807 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 4: And you know, I. 808 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be shocked if this game is really close again 809 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: like it was last year. 810 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts here? 811 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was one of the ones that were 812 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 5: able to get on that twenty on the open for 813 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 5: Texas A and M. 814 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 3: So I was pretty happy. 815 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 5: But at the same time, personally, if you don't have 816 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 5: that number and you don't have nineteen and a half 817 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 5: and you don't have nineteen, don't take this advice. But 818 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 5: I will buy out of it at sixteen and a 819 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 5: half and try to middle the thing because you know, 820 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 5: my power rating is up around nineteen and doing you know, 821 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 5: deeper digging into this, there's things where I tend to 822 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 5: I would rather have more money on the under than 823 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 5: have it on the side. 824 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 3: With this game. 825 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 5: What happened to Clemson last year is about what is 826 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 5: going to happen to Texas A and M this year. 827 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 5: And what I mean by that is Clemson came into 828 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 5: this game last year and the part of their defense 829 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 5: that really was suffering and was brand new was their secondary. 830 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 5: Kellen Mann was able to throw against their secondary. Clemson 831 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 5: was able to get their hands on some passes, even 832 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 5: one that was actually caught for a touchdown by Texas 833 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 5: A and M. But you know, Texas A and M 834 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 5: this year is the one that is missing their two 835 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 5: starting safeties. This year, They're the ones that have a 836 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 5: little bit of trouble in their secondary, and that is 837 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 5: something that Trevor Lawrence can expose. But I don't think 838 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence is going to start out by throwing at 839 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 5: their safeties right away. I think Travis Etn is going 840 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 5: to be pounded the first quarter, maybe even into the 841 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 5: second quarter. It's going to set up the play action 842 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 5: pass for Trevor Lawrence to take advantage of those safeties, 843 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 5: those new safeties later on in the second quarter, which 844 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 5: is when I think that they'll pick it up. I 845 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 5: like Kelln Man in this game. I think there's going 846 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 5: to be a lot more running than we can expect. 847 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 5: I know that dabboc out and said, we expect Kellen 848 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 5: mand to get off the bus throwing, and I agree 849 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 5: he will be throwing, but I don't think he's going 850 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 5: to be throwing from the pocket. I think he's going 851 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 5: to be under pressure. I think he's going to be 852 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 5: out to the side. I think there's gonna be I 853 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 5: think there's much more of a case to be sticking 854 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 5: your harder and money on the under than there is 855 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 5: on a side in this game. So for me personally, 856 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 5: I've got a Texas A and M twenty in my pocket. 857 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 5: I'm going to turn around at sixteen and a half 858 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 5: if I could get it. If you're in a pick 859 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 5: a pool, I'd say Clemson at seventeen. I'd say Texas 860 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 5: A and M at nineteen and a half. What I 861 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 5: like with my money is the under because I think 862 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 5: there's going to be more running. If I think Travis 863 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 5: et In is going to set up the play action pass, 864 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 5: I think Man is. 865 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 3: Going to be out of the run. 866 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 5: And remember this Clemson secondary is now extremely experienced and 867 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 5: Man is not going to be able to hit those 868 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 5: windows like he did last year. I think there's gonna 869 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 5: be more scrambling. I think there's going to be more 870 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 5: stoppage and play. I just like the under a whole 871 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:49,959 Speaker 5: lot more. 872 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 4: I get what you're saying that. 873 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: I think you're giving too much credits to the Clemson 874 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,479 Speaker 1: defensive line and not enough credit to the text saying 875 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: him offensive line. So I think they're gonna be able 876 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: to moot the ball in the ground, you know, monom 877 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: the ball with his legs, and I think he's gonna 878 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: have time to throw. And yeah, the Clemson secondary is better. 879 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna Maybe I'm too high on Texas A and M, who, 880 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: by the way, should have beat Texas State by about 881 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: seventy I mean, they were damn impressive. They also have 882 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: solid special teams. Now I think they're gonna need the 883 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: tight end position to step up, which is definitely a 884 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: gap for them this year. 885 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 4: I don't know. 886 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe I'm too out on now. Look, 887 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: just because they lost by two last year, throw that 888 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: game out. I think that the coaches are familiar with 889 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: each other. But Kelly Bryant started that game. ETN had 890 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: eight eight carries for forty four yards. Their best receiver 891 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: was still He didn't even play, you know, he was 892 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: still coming back from injury, So there was a lot 893 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: of things that just didn't don't apply to this matchup 894 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: this year. I don't know, I'm a little high on 895 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: three four points. Highed appears on Texas A and M, 896 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: and we'll find out. I'll be riding already on the 897 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: exit seventeen half. Once it crosses seventeen. You know, I 898 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: don't really see as much value, but you know you 899 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: can find seventeen out there. I like Texas A and M. 900 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: All right, this is what. 901 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 4: Everyone's been waiting for. LSU Texas Prairies. 902 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 2: Guys are wine and hunt deep in the hut of Texas. 903 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: This is what all the chatter, the chirping been about. 904 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: We have talked about this all offseason. We heard from 905 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: all the Texas fans, the whole state of Texas. Everyone 906 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: from Austin called in on the voicemails last weekend and 907 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: they wanted to let you know that Texas is a 908 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: simple team people. Herman obviously has been elite as an 909 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: underdog even before he was head coach. 910 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 4: Now there's a lot of question mark teams and the 911 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 4: overs on the rise. 912 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: So the market thinks that this game is going to 913 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: be a shootout. But I can tell you one thing. 914 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: I haven't invested in this game yet, but I am waiting, 915 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: and I think I met. I think I got to 916 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: seven once in Vegas. If it gets the seven, give 917 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: me Texas hookem horns, I'll be on Texas. I'll be 918 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: against you. So I'm just waiting for seven. It's tough 919 00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: throwing football season, man. You gotta be watching the screen 920 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: at all time. I think I was taking a You 921 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: get alerts on your phone action app shout out for 922 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: when lines hit certain ranges. But you can't even take 923 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: a shower. You can't even walk my dog. I'm waiting 924 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: on this seven. What do you see here? I want 925 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: you to disappoint and go after all of Texas Nation 926 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 1: right now. 927 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 3: Texas Nation. I don't care what the number is. I'm 928 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 3: going against you. I'm taking LSU. Now. 929 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 4: Do you think all of you rolls? 930 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 5: I think LSU rolls the more I get into this. 931 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 5: I mean that number got to seven. It disappeared really 932 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 5: fast at Circus Sports yesterday. So well, I think there's 933 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 5: going to be a flood of Texas money. People are 934 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 5: so in love with this Herman trend. It's like that's 935 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 5: the only reason to handicap that you know, he's got 936 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 5: this eighty six percent trend thirteen two and one against 937 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 5: the spread as a dog. 938 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 3: Now, okay, I get that. I get that only one. 939 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 5: Of the defenses he actually faced was anywhere like LSU, 940 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 5: and that would be Georgia last year in the Sugar Bowl. 941 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 3: And there's motivation factors there. 942 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 5: So yes, I understand Herman is a dog, and I 943 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 5: understand the trend is eighty six percent. It's also a 944 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 5: sample size of fifteen. Like you know, you ask any 945 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 5: science or any engineer or anybody like that, they need 946 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 5: a sample size of one hundred before they think of something, 947 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 5: five hundred before it's a theory, one thousand before whatever. 948 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: It's fifteen fifteen. 949 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 5: Games, all right, So let me start at the beginning 950 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 5: with how I bet this. I had this out at 951 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 5: LSU minus seven the entire time. So fan duel out 952 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 5: in Jersey comes out, and they've got it as Texas 953 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 5: minus one by the time I could get to it. It 954 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 5: was a pick them. Got as much money down as 955 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 5: I could at a pick them. Vegas comes out. Some 956 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 5: places we're hanging a two and a half, some places 957 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 5: we're hanging a three. Got more money on that, not 958 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 5: as much as I'd like. I mean, at the time 959 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 5: those limits are sitting around two hundred and fifty five 960 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 5: hundred dollars, but nothing four digits you could get down 961 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 5: on this. By the time I can get four digits 962 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 5: down on this, it's up over four. So you know, 963 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 5: we're happy with what I've got here. But I'm saying 964 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 5: right now you could take it anywhere. This point spread 965 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 5: tells me the entire story. I mean, three and a half, four, five, six, 966 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 5: six and a half. It doesn't matter even though the 967 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 5: ticketcount is right down the middle for all of you 968 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 5: following on sports Insights on your screen, even though the 969 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 5: ticketcount is right now the middle and the money is 970 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 5: right down the middle, there's no end to this point 971 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 5: spread going. So to me, if I'm just reading the market, 972 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 5: if you blank out the team names, I'm not trying 973 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 5: to be hating on Texas. I'm not trying to love 974 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 5: lu you blank out the team names. If I'm just 975 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 5: watching the market, this tells me that LSU is gonna roll. 976 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 5: So let's talk about the games last week individually. Specifically, 977 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 5: the Longhorns did a lot to actually impress me against 978 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 5: Louisiana Tech sam Ellnger was able to hit eight different 979 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 5: receivers for double digit yards. Keante Ingram average seven point 980 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 5: yard one yards per carry. Those things are great. Texas 981 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 5: held law Tech scoreless for three quarters. 982 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 3: But there's a couple. 983 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 5: Stats that really really kind of bothered me about Texas 984 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 5: in general. You know, they forced La Tech to punt 985 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 5: just twice, only twice. 986 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 3: Defensively. 987 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 5: You know, Texas last year was ninety first and sacrate 988 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 5: during twenty eighteen. 989 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 3: The key to winning this game. 990 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 5: Is putting pressure on the LSU offensive line and stopping 991 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 5: Joe Burrow from doing his RPO package or hitting running 992 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 5: backs out in the flats. They had three four five. 993 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 5: They had five different running backs take caih out in 994 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 5: the flats. Last week, the Tigers were unbelievable against Georgia State, 995 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 5: five touchdowns in their first five drives. They were so 996 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 5: impressive on offense they had to tap Joe Brady on 997 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 5: the shoulder say step back. We're gonna pull the offense 998 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 5: back a little bit. We didn't need it to be 999 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 5: this good. Explosive plays mixed in running backs catching it 1000 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 5: out of the backfield. In the meantime, Texas has one 1001 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 5: sack and zero quarterback hurries on La Tech, zero quarterback 1002 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 5: hurries on La Tech. One sack, and last year you 1003 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 5: had a ninety. You were ninety first and sack rate 1004 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 5: all summer. These longhorned fans getting into my DMS, getting 1005 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 5: into my Twitter, telling me this defensive line has been 1006 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 5: revamped and it's gonna be the reason they beat LSU. 1007 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 5: You had one sack against Louisiana Tech. You had no 1008 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 5: quarterback hurries against Louisiana Tech. So I mean that one sack, 1009 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 5: it came from a defensive back, it came from Demarvian overshown. 1010 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 5: I mean of the five tackles for loss, only one 1011 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 5: of them came from a defensive lineman. The rest came 1012 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 5: from DB's and one linebacker. So when I get into 1013 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,959 Speaker 5: the box score and I get in deep, there's nothing 1014 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 5: about the Texas defense whatsoever that makes me think that 1015 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 5: they can beat LSU. This LSU offense, I don't think 1016 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 5: we know how good it is. I think Elleger is 1017 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 5: going to be under a ton of pressure. His top 1018 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 5: targets will have suffocating coverage from Grant Delpit. Listen, don't 1019 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 5: discount special teams. I'm surprised you we haven't mentioned that 1020 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 5: don't discount special teams. Last year, Texas finished fifty ninth 1021 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 5: and sm P plus special teams, LSU finished third. LSU's 1022 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 5: punter the other night had three punts, averaged a little 1023 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 5: bit more than fifty one yards. Their kicker went two 1024 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 5: for two on field goals, hit all seven pats. There's 1025 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 5: a major advantage of special teams. There's a major advantage 1026 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 5: in defense. You know, running back is thin for Texas. 1027 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 5: This I think it's gonna be a runaway by LSU. 1028 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned special teams. Don't forget about Texas kicker 1029 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 1: home justin Tucker. Maybe you're right. We don't know how 1030 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: good LSU's offense is going to be. You know, they 1031 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: with this new spread. They played Georgia Southern, so the 1032 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: quality of athlete and defender is a little different this week. 1033 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to seeing I think you all 1034 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: sneak peak of this last week Texas's defense with the 1035 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: eight defenders. You know, when they have eight excuse me, 1036 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: when they have eight defensive backs out there on defense 1037 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: against this LSU spread and you know kind of the 1038 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: chess match there. 1039 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 4: I think it's a game. 1040 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna learn a ton about both teams. There's a 1041 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: lot of unknowns to me, so it's not like I 1042 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: have a really strong feel in this game. But I 1043 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: can tell you if that's seven pops. If I'm walking in, 1044 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: my phone buzzes and I look in and says Texas 1045 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: LSU from six and a half to seven. You'll see 1046 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: soon thereafter a Texas play coming on me from me 1047 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: and I'll be all on the Herman train and we'll 1048 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: be against each other on Saturday, which could be a 1049 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: little fun. 1050 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 4: But more to come on this game. 1051 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: We'll have betting guides and tons of contact going up 1052 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 1: on Action network dot Com in the Action app Colin. 1053 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: I will also be on our live show ten thirty 1054 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: ish on Saturday morning.

The second game that I want to avoid, 1069 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 1: like the plague, is probably this Arkansas game. I have 1070 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: no interest in this game unless you tell me that 1071 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: you love it, because I always listen to Arkansas game. 1072 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: But Arkansas at Ole, miss Ole miss about a touchdown 1073 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,280 Speaker 1: favor you know, came down a little bit here.

Eleven of Arkansas's twelve drives against Portland State, 1098 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 5: who I don't even thinks ever even received a vote 1099 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 5: in the FCS Top twenty Eleven of twelve drives ended 1100 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 5: in their own territory. What was supposed to be a 1101 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 5: first half ending drive down the field with Nick Starkle 1102 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 5: and a spike and attempted a field goal, the clock 1103 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 5: just ran out because Nick Starkle didn't know where he was. 1104 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 5: I don't think you even know who he was. 1105 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 3: I don't think he knew what he was doing. 1106 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 5: Chad Morris even mentioned it. Players didn't know where they were, 1107 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 5: they didn't know what formation to be in, They couldn't 1108 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 5: get the calls in. It was terrible. Chad Moore said, this. 1109 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 5: They played hard, they gave effort. Give credit to Portland State. 1110 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 5: They had better execution, and we had to go vanilla 1111 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 5: in our base offense because we just don't know the 1112 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 5: offense well enough. The players are not listening to the coaches. 1113 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 5: The players can't execute. Giving Portland State half million dollars 1114 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 5: to write a bus down a fabled Arkansas and possibly 1115 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 5: beat them. I don't know how you people are putting 1116 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 5: money on Arkansas.

So you have that in play, and then 1142 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: you also have UTEP, and that's a team that you're 1143 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 1: actually the minor nation we got you in on this podcast. 1144 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: That's a team you're actually looking to that big this weekend. 1145 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking minor nation. 1146 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 4: Out in the West Dickson town of l Past. 1147 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: So picks up. 1148 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 3: I did bet. 1149 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 5: I actually had to call one of my Vegas runners. 1150 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 5: I said, run over to CG and get me some 1151 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:19,760 Speaker 5: money down on UTEP. 1152 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 3: He said, what say again? Come again? 1153 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 5: I think he actually my runner had to call me 1154 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 5: and say, I want you to say it out loud, 1155 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 5: and I said, okay, go get a nickel down on UTEP. 1156 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 3: At thirty five. 1157 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 5: It's the only shop that's got thirty five, so the 1158 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,240 Speaker 5: number is going to go up. I think other places 1159 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 5: are going to have it available. Yes, I'm on UTEP. 1160 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 5: Before I get to UTEP, I will say that I 1161 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 5: like the under in the Alabama. 1162 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 3: New Mexico State game. It's at sixty four sixty four 1163 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 3: and a half. 1164 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 5: Saban is hot pissed about the rushing performance against Duke 1165 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 5: about them to establish the run. Yeah, they're maybe be 1166 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,399 Speaker 5: able to knock off eighty yard runs against New Mexico State, 1167 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 5: and they should, but it sounds like the focus of 1168 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 5: this game is establishing the run, not so much putting 1169 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 5: up one hundred billion points of letting to a throw 1170 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:55,319 Speaker 5: it all over the place. 1171 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 3: They're going to run the ball all the time. I 1172 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 3: like the under in that game for as far as 1173 00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:58,879 Speaker 3: UTEP goes. 1174 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 5: I mean, I have this at their twenty seven, so 1175 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 5: you know, buying at thirty five is going against my 1176 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 5: own number. But if you look deep into the Texas 1177 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 5: Tech box score against Montana State, the Bobcats had just 1178 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 5: eight first downs. They went two of sixteen on third down. 1179 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,879 Speaker 5: You would think that's a great job by Texas Tech. 1180 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 5: But Montana State had two hundred and eighty nine total yards. 1181 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 5: Four different Bobcats had explosive plays against the Texas Tech defense. 1182 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 5: They had five total explosive plays. Texas Tech did its 1183 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 5: job offensively, they scored whenever they want, but defensively there 1184 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 5: is big time room for improvement. 1185 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 3: They can't stop the big play. Go over to the 1186 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 3: UTEP box score. 1187 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 5: Three rushers, including quarterback Brandon Jones, and four receivers all 1188 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 5: with explosive plays. Three different players explosive plays. UTEP's going 1189 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 5: to head into a bye week after this, while Texas 1190 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 5: Tech is going to prepare for Arizona. By the way, 1191 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 5: UTEP staff Chico Canalis, assistant head coach on the staff, Cox, 1192 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 5: the defensive coordinator. Where did these guys all come from? 1193 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 3: Utah State? Who knows them really well? 1194 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 5: The head coach of Texas Tech, Matt Wells. Matt Wells 1195 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 5: knows the entire UTEP coaching staff. He is close friends 1196 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,800 Speaker 5: with everybody on the UTEP coaching staf. Mike Cox was 1197 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,280 Speaker 5: a defensive coordinator when Matt Wells was a player. Wells 1198 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 5: has mentioned this over and over, and he has also 1199 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 5: mentioned this set out out as presser on Monday. UTEP's 1200 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,359 Speaker 5: offensive line is bigger than our defensive line. I'm worried 1201 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 5: about them pushing us around. Give me the thirty five. 1202 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 5: And especially with a coach like Matt Wells, it doesn't 1203 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 5: want to run it up on people that he has 1204 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 5: close personal relationships with Utip all the way. 1205 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 4: I knew I would get you excited by bringing up 1206 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:23,799 Speaker 4: you tep. 1207 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,399 Speaker 1: And it looks like before we get to third down, 1208 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 1: it looks like there was a penalty. So I do 1209 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,240 Speaker 1: want to just before we go give our money line parlay. 1210 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: I do want to mention Friday night football. So there's 1211 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: two Friday night games. The first game I texted you 1212 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: last week, I want Rice as a home dog against 1213 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: wake Forest, but I wanted over twenty one, so we 1214 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't get it. I don't know if they could stop 1215 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 1: wake Forests passing attack. Like Rice's defense looked great last weekend, 1216 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: but remember they played an option team that we think 1217 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 1: is way down and way last potent, so we saw 1218 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: nothing about the right secondary and the Rice secondary is 1219 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 1: was atrocious and we saw we didn't see any of 1220 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: that last week. They didn't have to show up, and 1221 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: their offense is still atrocious. They line up it just 1222 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, two tight ends, wait till the game clock 1223 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: gets to one second and run a dive. This is 1224 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 1: the a snail versus the Cheetah. I mean, this is 1225 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: the one of the fastest teams in the country, or 1226 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: is one of the slowest, which is intriguing. But I 1227 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: can't get twenty one. I can't trust the Rice secondary. 1228 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: I have to pass on Rice any field there or 1229 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: with Marshall. And what I think is the more interesting 1230 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 1: game catching twelve ish at Boise on Friday night. Anything 1231 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:33,880 Speaker 1: on Friday night lights. 1232 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 3: For you, Marshall. 1233 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 5: For me, it's a down spot for Boise to come 1234 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 5: back after a miraculous second half. I think the debate 1235 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 5: now is if I can't get Marshall with the key number, 1236 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 5: it just looks like he's not going to clip thirteen. 1237 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 5: And if I'm not going to get fourteen, maybe I'll 1238 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,359 Speaker 5: play it first half. I do like Marshall in that spot. Rice, 1239 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 5: same thing. I want twenty one. I'm greedy with the 1240 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 5: number a little bit where I mean the pace here 1241 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 5: is going to be insane. I mean Rice wants to 1242 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 5: do one thing, wait, wants to do another. Wake gets 1243 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 5: a fourteen point lead, how does Rice catch up? So 1244 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 5: it's it's a tough game to handicap for me. I 1245 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 5: like Marshall in the game. I think they're gonna give 1246 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,919 Speaker 5: a real push and I might play it first half. 1247 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 5: Have to check on the Action Network. 1248 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: Cap all right, So before we get out of here, 1249 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 1: let's do our weekly moneyline. 1250 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 5: Parlay, turning good weekends into great weekends. 1251 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 1: It's time for the money line parlay, money line Underdog parlay, 1252 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,760 Speaker 1: or to some of you, the overdog money on parlay. 1253 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: For those longtime listeners of our podcast. 1254 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 3: It's called the Overdog parlay. 1255 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: So this should have hit last week, by the way 1256 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 1: you had BC and I had Oregon. I'm still trying 1257 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 1: to get over it. But let's move on to this week. 1258 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm riding with the Bobs. And 1259 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: the good thing about this, I think they're going to 1260 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: win the game. But the good thing about this is 1261 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: they don't. I can blame you. So I'm going with 1262 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: the Bobs money line.
